text: Mexican artists may have been introduced to modernity through photography, and one of the foremost Mexican photographers of the early 20th century, Hugo Brehme (1882-1954), has been cited as an influence on the country's best known artist from the period, Diego Rivera. Brehme was a German immigrant imbued with the European Romantic tradition, which sought the sublime essence of nature and reveled in the beauty of ancient ruins. Read More +

What is the Who's Who Legal 100?
The latest addition to offshore firm Mourant Ozannes' network was an office in the BVI in 2012. The firm now advises on the laws of the BVI, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey, and according to managing partner Jonathan Rigby has set its sights on becoming the leading law firm offshore.
Asset Recovery | 4 | Insurance & Reinsurance | 1 |
Banking | 1 | Private Client | 6 |
Insolvency & Restructuring | 2 | Private Funds | 8 |
The firm's vision is in line with its forward thinking approach to the practice of law – it embraces new ideas, adapts to change and focuses on delivering clients an excellent service.
Total Listings in WWL | 22 | Established | 1842 |
Home jurisdiction | Guernsey | Total size of firm | 240 |
Number of partners | 53 | Number of offices | 6 |
Mourant Ozannes' funds practice is "internationally renowned" and includes "heavyweight" Gavin Farrell who specialises in offshore fund formation with "exceptional attention to detail". He recently advised Pembroke Heritage Fund in relation to a further capital raising by way of a private placement of up to 3.5 million ordinary shares and the subsequent listing of the shares issued pursuant to the private placement on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange. Robert Duggan is the managing partner of the London office. He specialises in the establishment, maintenance and restructuring of Cayman Islands hedge, hybrid and private equity funds. Managing partner of the Cayman Islands office Neal Lomax is co-head of the office's investment funds group. He is a "dominant figure" in the investment funds market and his recent work includes advising Ipreo Holdings on its sale to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co LP. Edward Devenport in Jersey is "incredibly knowledgeable" on the regulation of investment funds and is considered a "great asset" to his clients.
The international trusts and private client practice group assists clients in finding the most appropriate jurisdiction in which to establish and administer their wealth management structures. Jersey-based Jonathan Speck is "in a league of his own" according to peers. He advises on contentious and non-contentious trust cases and is "truly superb". Among his most notable work is the Alhamrani case where he acted as lead advocate for JPMorgan. Morven McMillan heads the practice in the Cayman Islands and is "thoroughly recommended" for her experience in trust disputes. Jeremy Wessels in Guernsey is "sensational" in contentious trust disputes. He also has experience in asset tracing and freezing orders, and insolvency.
Peter Hayden is head of litigation and insolvency in the firm's Cayman Islands office. He has a "wealth of expertise" in financial services litigation due to his former in-house counsel roles at UBS and Barclays. He is noted for his asset recovery and insolvency and restructuring expertise.
The firm's corporate social responsibility programme sees Mourant Ozannes support the communities in which its employees live and work. Examples of the firm's activities include participating in the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce Earth clean-up day and aiding environmental projects such as tree planting. The firm also sponsors programmes, sports tournaments and teams, and adult literacy campaigns.
Mourant Ozannes' "one-firm" approach to servicing clients across its offices and unwavering focus on excellent service stand it in good stead for achieving its ambitious goals.

A Belvedere man detained on multiple charges, including kidnapping and attempted murder, allegedly assaulted a federal agent during an incident early Friday, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Robert Lenwood Toole, 31, was charged with possession of a schedule II controlled substance; possession of a schedule IV controlled substance; possession of methamphetamine or cocaine base; kidnapping; attempted murder; manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine; resisting, assaulting, beating or wounding a police officer; and driving under suspension.
Toole was placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Monday afternoon.
The incident happened in North Augusta about 1 a.m. Friday, according to Earl Woodham, an ATF spokesman.
Woodham said the investigation is ongoing and that details are limited at this time.
"It was the result of a traffic stop," he said of Friday's incident. "It's a joint investigation. As far as ATF's concerned, we are continuing the investigation and possibly making federal charges also." Regarding the resisting an officer and attempted murder charges, Woodham said: "All I can say is, those charges are the result of an assault on an ATF agent."
Woodham said the "entire incident" was the result of an investigation by the ATF RAGE Unit, which is a joint gang and violent crimes task force with the Aiken Department of Public Safety, Aiken County Sheriff's Office, North Augusta Department of Public Safety, Richmond County Sheriff's Office and ATF.
Lt. Tim Thornton, a spokesman for North Augusta Public Safety, said the incident happened in the parking lot of the Waffle House on West Martintown Road near Interstate 20.
"We were responding to a request from ATF to assist in stopping the vehicle," he said. "That's basically all I can tell you. Everything else we did, we were acting on the authority of ATF agents."
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office declined to comment on this incident.

Tekka Uchiha (うちはテッカ, Uchiha Tekka) was a Konohagakure shinobi from the Uchiha clan and an officer of the Konoha Military Police Force.
He, Inabi, and Yashiro questioned Itachi about the suicide note that was found with Shisui Uchiha. After presenting Itachi with the alleged suicide note that Shisui had written asking him to request that the ANBU investigate the matter as well. As the men began leaving, he warned Itachi not to hide anything as they also had connections within the ANBU. The men were then attacked by Itachi and fed up with him they asked Fugaku to issue the order for them to arrest him. However, after Itachi apologised and Fugaku offered up the excuse that Itachi had been worn out by his duties, the men left.[2]
He was later killed during the Uchiha clan massacre.
Tekka had shoulder-length, dull-black hair and dark eyes and also had a dot in the centre of his forehead. He wore what was considered to be the standard outfit of the Uchiha while not on duty which included a black, high collared shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back and dark coloured pants. While on duty he wore the standard uniform of the police force which consisted of the standard Konoha shinobi's outfit albeit with the crest of the police force on either sleeve.
As an Uchiha, Tekka was one of the members that was able to awaken his clan's kekkei genkai: the Sharingan,[3] which granted him basic abilities such as seeing the flow of chakra, the ability to easily recognise genjutsu and different forms of chakra, some predictive capabilities as well as the ability to copy techniques that the user sees amongst other things.

Choice is good and all, but... what's the OpenCL backend about? How does that work?
You use OpenCL to do the compositing/rendering/whatever and then push it to an OpenGL texture or to a framebuffer?
Not sure what its advantages are.
For that matter, I'm not sure if OpenGL has any advantages over something more primitive like Xlib for 2d operations. The latency (especially for proprietary drivers) is pretty huge on OpenGL commands, especially stuff like shaders.
It's to the point that my Intel 965GM chipset in my 3-year old laptop can get more responsive 2d graphics (web browsing, GTK+ and Qt4 GUI apps, etc) than my top of the line HD7970. Of course, when it comes to serious workloads like GPU video encoding and Unigine games, the 7970 absolutely trounces the little IGP -- but the IGP definitely has low graphics pipeline latency in its favor. The UI just looks so sleek (even with a compositor like mutter or cinnamon) that the only way I've been able to reproduce this sleekness on a discrete GPU is to run Windows. Not sure why, but big discrete GPUs + Linux have always equalled slow 2D for me.

This article features the full transcript
Steam gives you way more than a store; it's a great service tailored around games, with things like cloud storage for savegames, etc...
Steam gives you a big community and connects you with your friends, it's somewhat like a LAN party over the Internet (I still prefer a real lan party though).
A generic app store is nothing like that. No, I don't think Steam and Gabe are obsolete at all.
Open platforms are great as long as you don't have to open yours...He also comments how he likes open platforms.
I know, I know, I am asking for too much. The fact that there will eventually be access to ~2,500 games on linux is great on its own.
Games as for sure the driving force behind Windows and what keeps it floating.
Some years ago (2-3) i showed Linux to some people and even installed it in their PCs (UBUNTU) and they loved it....no virus,
easy updates , almost all programs that the a typical John Doe needs are pre-installed (only needing some extra easy to install),etc.
...and they were quite happy with it....till then.....
No AAA games ?!? (except ETQW and little more)
They removed Linux and reinstalled Windows
We need native games on Linux and that's it or will never be (more) popular.
I was think exactly the same.
OTOH, this is just another example of the myriad ways one can interprete "openess".
Again, I have to agree.
I'm not even sure why I don't have any objections against the Steam environment...
Over the years I experienced Steam as very consumer friendly platform,
although it is full of DRM (be it Steam or additional publisher DRM).
The only real problem I see is: What happens with my purchased games (or better game licenses)
if Valve/Steam becomes defunct at some point for the one or other reason?
This question, obviously, has been raised many times.
So far, I didn't came across an satisfying answer.
Simply put - no one knows.
Windows appstore gives you way more than a store; it's a great service tailored around games, with things like cloud storage for savegames, etc...
Windows appstore gives you a big community and connects you with your friends, it's somewhat like a LAN party over the Internet.
Windows appstore is not a generic app store its a full service this makes sure Steam and Gabe are obsolete on the windows platform.
Now the obsolete "losers" try to get the old status quo back again by using linux as a substitute.
Well its nice for Linux but only superficial because the "Openness" and "Freedom" is the complete opposite direction than DRM/Copy-protection in other words bondage and forced.
Well well the future will tell us how the story ends.

Penn's first turnkey brought world to Dells
Territorial Governor Nehemiah Ordway approved a bill on Feb. 8, 1881, previously passed by territorial Legislative Assembly providing for the location of the territorial penitentiary.Twenty-two months later, on Dec. 13, 1882, William Wesley McFarland admitted the first prisoner to the Penitentiary in South Dakota. Charles W. Hunt, a convicted murderer, was one of 30 prisoners transferred from Detroit, Mich.This honor, most likely just the luck of the draw, gives William McFarland the distinguished title of being South Dakotas first "Turnkey".During this time period most employment was in agriculture. Farm laborers were paid with food, board and a small amount of cash. However, a job at the new penitentiary was highly sought after due to the fact it paid cash. Dishwashers, guards, contactors and the warden were all paid with cash.McFarland homesteaded in Moody County for a time before his employment with the penitentiary. He held that position for several years and then moved to Dell Rapids. During his time living in Dell Rapids he was the town marshal, and was later appointed postmaster at Dell Rapids. In his later years, McFarland moved back to Sioux Falls where he was employed as a courthouse bailiff. On March 31, 1930, just two weeks after the death of his wife, William Wesley McFarland died from the effects of pneumonia. He is buried in the family plot at the Dell Rapids Cemetery.Throughout our history we have had many authors, singers, teachers and inventors who have gone out and influenced others in some way, sharing just a bit of Dell Rapids with the world.In the case of McFarland, I believe he brought his experiences of the world to Dell Rapids. We may never know what brought McFarland and his family to Dell Rapids, but we do know his stay here made Dell Rapids a little bit safer.Many of us have lived in Dell Rapids all our lives, our ancestors moving here, perhaps to homestead. Some of us have deliberately moved to Dell Rapids, maybe for a job, location or family. What brought you to Dell Rapids? Why have you stayed to raise your family here?What is your story?

Get involved
I write this as one member only of the five-member Williamstown School Board. The headlines are alarming: If your local districts dont hold down budget increases the statewide property tax rate will expand by as much as 5 cents, and this does not include any local portion of the education tax.
School boards are in budget season, and there is no better time than right now to engage your local boards in discussions about why costs are increasing and what can be done to ameliorate or even, if possible, reverse the increases in education spending.
Make no mistake, the challenges are daunting: huge increases in insurance premiums, federal and state mandates related to the Common Core and No Child Left Behind, special education responsibilities, and the usual inflation will be driving expenses. Our sources of revenue will be fewer than in the recent past as federal and state funds designed to assist with mandates shrink or disappear altogether, and that means more property taxes.
Our public schools are required by law and public expectation to provide the highest quality education to all students regardless of individual situation and need, but we are often placed in a position of balancing that mandate with fiscal reality. It really is up to you, the individual community member, to be informed and inform. I hope all interested Williamstown residents will attend the next several regularly scheduled school board meetings (the second Tuesday of the month at the school library) and help us give direction to the administration in developing the best possible budget for the next school year. The education of the young adults and children in our lives literally depends on it.

Thanks to agreements signed Tuesday morning, students interested in earning advanced manufacturing degrees will easily be able to transfer their credits between local community colleges and Fitchburg State University.
A bevy of state and local government and education officials crowded into FSU's Mazzaferro Center on Tuesday to celebrate the landmark collaboration, which will allow a more seamless transfer of credits between Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner, Quinsigmond Community College in Worcester and FSU, as students and manufacturing-industry employees seek to further their education and their careers.
The collaboration also involves the state Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which identifies and implements growth opportunities for small and medium-size manufacturers through advanced manufacturing technologies and training, among other means. Read More

Enola, PA (April 11, 2007) During April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), anti-sexual violence advocates and organizations focus their efforts on raising awareness nationwide. They hold special events and campaigns to draw attention to sexual violence as a major public health issue.
The NSVRC's 2007 campaign theme for SAAM is Prevent Sexual Violence… in our communities. Over 125 events are registered on the national calendar including 37 screenings of the documentary No! Confronting Sexual Assault in our Communities.
Annually the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) also recognizes programs and individuals working to end sexual violence.
The 2007 National Award for Outstanding Response to and Prevention of Sexual Violence goes to recipients in the field of sexual violence prevention and intervention who have demonstrated commitment and innovation in their ongoing work at the national level. They are:
Susan Vickers, of the Victim Rights Law Center, works to improve the lives of sexual assault survivors through her consistent dedication to training civil attorneys who aid these victims.
Robert Franklin, of the Virginia Department of Health's Division of Injury and Violence Prevention, creates and manages social marketing campaigns to reduce statutory rape and sexual coercion.
STAND & SERVE, a project of Peer Solutions, cultivates positive social change with middle and high school students by uniting schools, families and communities through peer educational programs.
Additionally, each year NSVRC invites state, territory and tribal coalitions to submit nominations for the NSVRC's Award for Outstanding Advocacy and Community Work in Ending Sexual Violence. This award recognizes individuals who are doing outstanding work within their local communities, state or territory. In 2007 the award honors fourteen (14) recipients including directors, client services coordinators and community educators from throughout the country. A complete list of awardees is available on the NSVRC website.
Karen Baker, NSVRC Director, said "what an honor it is to recognize some of our inspiring heroes – people who are working tirelessly to make our world safer by preventing sexual violence."
