Officers accuse hospitals of treating them shabbily
A traffic constable, who has put in more than 10 years of service, was in for a shock when he accompanied his wife, who also works in the department, to a private hospital for treatment of her mother for cancer few weeks ago. Being covered under the Aarogya Bhagya scheme, Mr. Sampath sought admission of his mother-in law to the semi private ward as per the State government's notification. But his mother-in-law was sent to free ward meant for poor patients.
"Last time too they did the same and I filed a complaint before the Police Commissioner. As there is no change in the attitude of the hospital, we did not pursue it. We are not getting facilities that we are eligible for under the scheme," the constable said.
This constable has been among the many that are unhappy over the improper implementation of the scheme meant to provide better healthcare for police personnel and their family members. "Rs. 100 is deducted from the salary of every policeman every month. But the way hospitals treat us is disgusting," said another constable who did not like reveal his name.
A senior police constable deputed at the office of the Police Commissioner said he was asked to pay Rs. 6,000 after 40 days of treatment for an accident. "No receipt was issued for this payment. I was then made to sign on a form related to the scheme. No information was given to me about the expenses incurred on the 40 days of treatment," the constable said.
Another constable, who has put in nearly two decades of service, said no information has been provided to the personnel about the treatments covered and procedures to avail them.
A senior police officer also had to bear the brunt of such callousness. "My wife underwent treatment in July 2012. In February I was informed that the treatment is not covered under the scheme. Now I am trying to mobilise funds to clear the bill of the hospital," the officer said.
Delayed payment
However, he feels police need to be thankful to these hospitals for giving treatment despite delay in clearing the bills, he added.
He said there has been delay from the Police Headquarters in processing the claims related the treatment. An official from the office of the Police Commissioner said as of now they were clearing bills submitted in June.
The Aarogya Bhagya Scheme was introduced to enable police personnel get treatment in private hospitals. |The five networked hospitals in Mangalore include A.J. Hospital, Father Muller Hospital, Yenepoya Hospital and Athena Hospital.
According to information provided by the Mangalore Police, the number of police personnel subscribing the scheme has increased from 725 in January 2011 to 1,071 in February 2012. The subscription amount collected so far has been Rs. 17.27 lakh. As many as 189 police personnel got treatment under the scheme in 2011 followed by 248 personnel in 2012. In the first two months, 49 police personnel have availed treatment.
Additional Director General of Police (Crime and Technical Services) Ashit M. Prasad claimed there were no complaint from the police about the scheme. "Our record has been excellent," he said.
Mr. Prasad agreed that there was delay in processing claims. "There has been increase in the volume of claims following inclusion of parents as beneficiaries from last year."
Mr. Prasad said his department has cleared bills till December 2012. The process was on to select a new agency to scrutinise claims.

The City and County of Denver allows certain couples who are not married to recognize their commitment through the Committed Partnership Registry. The registry is open to any two partners who:
View the Committed Partnership requirements here. View D.R.M.C. § 28-200, Committed Partnerships Ordinance.
Both partners must appear together at the Office of the Clerk and Recorder and fill out a Certificate of Committed Partnership in duplicate. A sample of this form may be found on the Forms page.
The certificate is filled out and attested in the presence of the Clerk, who will then sign the certificate. One completed original certificate is issued to the partnership immediately and one is retained in the official records of the Clerk and Recorder. The fee for domestic partnership certification and registry is $25.00.
Note: All certificates of committed partnerships and the Domestic Partnership Registry itself are public records.
What Registration Does
Registration of your committed partnership creates a public record of your relationship. It provides evidence that your relationship has met the requirements for committed partnership defined by ordinance, which an employer or other party may or may not choose to recognize in offering domestic partnership benefits.
What Registration Does Not Do
Registering as committed partners does not constitute marriage under the laws of the State of Colorado nor change your legal rights with your partner. Registration does not affect your property, contract, inheritance, custody, or benefit rights nor any other legal entitlements. It does not provide for name changes. To provide for such rights domestic partners may need to execute medical and/or general powers of attorney, wills, and/or other legal instruments, just as though there were no partnership. Consult your attorney.
A Designated Beneficiary Agreement is a contract between two people ensuring certain rights and financial protections based upon the completed document. To be legally enforceable it must be properly recorded by your county Clerk and Recorder.
Designated Beneficiary Agreements become effective once the completed, signed and notarized form is received by the Clerk and Recorder's office in a county where at least one of the parties resides.
Bring your completed and notarized Designated Beneficiary Agreement to the Recording desk in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder, 201 W. Colfax Ave., Denver. The recording fee is listed on the Fees page.
Large Print Form Available
The Designated Beneficiary Agreement form is also available in large print on the Foms page for those who wish to use it. Users of this large print form should understand that it is a 3-page form rather than a 2-page form. The fees for recording and issuing certified copies of this 3-page form will be higher because of the extra page. Whereas the fees to record and issue certified copies of the 2-page form are $19.00, the fees to record and issue certified copies of the 3-page form are $24.50.
Designated Beneficiary Agreements may also be revoked. The revocation form may be found on the Forms page. Entering into a marriage or civil union will automatically revoke a pre-existing designated beneficiary agreement of either party.
A committed partnership is terminated by:
If you are widowed or divorced (from marriage or civil union) and wish to apply for a new marriage license, you must provide the exact date (month, day and year) and location of your spouse's/partner's death or of your divorce.
If you are divorced you also must provide:
If you obtained a Civil Union License and wish to convert to marriage under the new law, effective Oct. 7, 2014, please apply online, bring your application and IDs into the office, and pay $30 for your license.
If you obtained a Same Sex Marriage License in Denver prior to the new law eff. Oct. 7, 2014, you are eligible to have your license reissued and cost waived, as long as the two identified are the same two people who obtained the license in the Denver Clerk & Recorder Office.
Your marriage license may be used immediately upon issuance. It is valid for only 35 days after issuance. It may be used anywhere within the State of Colorado.
If the license is not used, it must be returned to the Clerk and Recorder for cancellation.
Colorado recognizes common law marriage as legal and binding. However, cohabitation alone does not constitute common law marriage. For more information on common law marriage, please see:
A common law marriage cannot be terminated except by court dissolution (divorce) or death.

DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
The huscarl regard the ship with a jaundiced eye and Njall makes a mark against evil "We should fire the ship and leave the body where it lies. Those aboard are beyond our help and it would a kindness from us to scour the flesh." You don't see any real opposition to Njall's view from the other vikingr aboard the karvi. You all have seen the plague at one point or another, and seen the blackened and bloated bodies being burned down with their homes.
If you would oppose then speak up against it.
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
The vessel does not bear any overt marks that you recognise, so you are unsure of it's origin without close inspection.
The huscarl prepare a small fire and wrap the tips of a few quarrels in tar soaked cloth. Once lit the quarrels are shot into the sails and body of the stricken plague-ship, and your eyes linger long enough for the fire to take over and thick plumes of black smoke begin to rise from the wreckage.
The tack is altered and the karvi sails onwards, leaving the ill omened vessel behind you. Days and nights bleed together and weeks pass. The totem at the prow of your vessel grows ever leathered, though serves as as your guiding star in the drive Southwards and toward plunder and glory.
From Broken Bay you travel South and East, across open waters towards and through the Ironbound Isles. You occasionally spy square sails passing by you, but never do you pause for more than a horn blast of greeting and a wave of welcome. Some are fat in the water and some are lean - though you pass them all by. The nearest you come to the land is at Orcmoot, where you spy the crude culture of the half-orcs dwelling there. Njall is standing tall almost begging for the bastard bred to sail out to face you, but his desire is not met by action.
You pass beyond the line of latitude that is the border between the harsh land of the North and the more fertile and temperate Southland. The weather grows warmer and you need discard your furs for the most part to avoid any overheating. You pass a mountainous isle to your East, and soon after see a cutter on the horizon, traveling in a direction that will bring it across your bow.
The huscarl have noticed it also, and seem to be weighing up on whether to seek engagement.
To the South East of you are Elvish lands.
The sails and speed suggest it's a patrol vessel
Black Úlfarr |
Black Úlfarr enjoys the change in weather, but Surtr seems to take to it even more, moving about the ship and snuffling at all of the new smells in the air. He takes in a view of the cutter as it passes, listening to Roluo as he explains it's meaning. Much to learn about sailing, so I may become more useful here on the ship. "So Roluo, do you think she's spying on land or us?"
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
The huscarl finish their discussion and turn to the group. Sámr speaks "They've a fighting cut and a fast ship... We're inclined to leave them pass unless they turn to face. Roluo's right, there would not be much for plunder on that boat... and they shouldn't pay us heed as we're not for the Elven lands." pausing a few moments to see the reaction. The three brothers seem to grumble a little, as they have been itching for a fight "We keep our tack and pass them by... unless they turn to face."
Njáll adds "Ready at the oars at any rate, we might be needing them" and turns back to the prow and the vigil of watching the elvish vessel.
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
Despite the longings of some for battle, the elvish cutter tacks away from your karvi and begins to pull away. As it is faster in the water than your own vessel, it slowly fades into the distance. It would look as though no blood is to be spilled this day.
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
Kjell's insults fall on deaf ears as the elven vessel is far too away to hear them. Dejected and relieved the vikingr fall back into their benches and settle in for more of the long wait at sail. Samr hums a tune as the lapping of the waves form a backing drum beat of sorts.
Two weeks after the near encounter with the cutter you've continued the sail down the mountainous Varisian coast. Looming before you there is a break in the mountains and land both leading to a somewhat sheltered sea. The ocean has been reasonably bereft of companions, only the occasional shark sighting and seabirds to keep you company.
As you move between and in the evening the huscarl tack South for landfall. Njall explains "We're low on water and could use a stretch. Hard up on the beach, then see where chance takes us." and sails are furled and arms put to oars to bring the karvi ashore. As you come nearer to shore you chance a look to see what might await. The beach you are making for is sandy, though is relatively narrow. Framed by hilly terrain on the West is a sheltered sweep of plains.
Torgeir Strømsvik |
Survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Torgeir eyes the closing coastline with his atypical stoic grimness. Muttering to his oarmate Grómr;
"What do your auga ken? Min are still clouded by the Aptrgangr..."
How's our dvergr feeling after the bite and 2 weeks on the sea???
Gylfir Faegeancor |
Gylfir sighs gratefully at the site of land. He was sure his ass had started to take the shape of the wooden bench.
Know. Geography -> 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Survival -> 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Perception -> 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
"That gap. That gap must be Varisian Bay. I recognize it from my father's stories. That means there should be settlements from here on to the south. In fact, Look! there is some smoke trailing up."
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
Add Dagaz to your runes known
The huscarl nod at the tidings of your sharp eyes and good head for the land. The karvi is beached upon land without any trouble as evening begins to fall. The group is split up: Njáll and the three brothers are sent with casks to gather water from the foot of the hills, while Sámr, Hrónarr, Ellisif, Grómr and Kitta remain with the karvi. Sámr explains "We're on utländsk mark now, and must be wary. You seven go and lay eyes on the source of the smoke. Come back if you've need of more stål, or it proves not worth our attention."
utländsk mark - foreign soil
stål - steel
Gummi joins you as you venture forth into the burgeoning night. He chews the inside of his cheek before saying "The smoke were away o'er there Gylfir? Looks a choice we can come upon from sea, straight or hill."
Lay of the land is basically undulating plains with foothills away to the West. The smoke looked like it was coming from a ways distant and in the midst of the plain-lands.
On the walk the light will fade to black, so you'll need a means of keeping your sight.
Torgeir Strømsvik |
Torgeir rubs his shoulder and cracks his neck before heading on point, grumbling as he goes;
"Feh. Minn auga are kveykva by the hyrr in minn dvergr blod... Hirða
yer ljóss-ǫr-fœrar..."
The berserkr spits and trudges onward...
kveykva =lit
hyrr =fire
hirða = keep
ljóss = bright
ǫr = arrow
fœrar = bringer, presenter
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
The group makes it's way along the coast towards where the smoketrail was spied as the darkness gradually settles in. Gummi falls in step without any fuss and follows your combined lead.
You travel for an hour or more before spying the first item of interest. Ahead of you on the shoreline is a small shack that has a fire burning within. The light it gives off it minimal, but enough to ward you to shield your lanterns and draw closer. The shack itself is small, barely 20ft by 15ft and does not look sturdy enough to withstand storms or rain sufficient to make it livable.
It looks to be a fisherman's shack and you spy the silhouette of a small dinghy beached on the sand...
Gylfir Faegeancor |
Perception -> 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
Profession Sailor -> 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
As the light fades, Gylfir places his amber necklace on, but does not call on its light.
Stepping through the sand, Gylfir is careful to reel in his chain and leave none to drag noisily once they close on the structure. His eyes trying to pick up the smallest of details in the surrounding dunes and surf, he is surprised that they came upon the structure so quickly.
DM - Voice of the Voiceless |
The group draws closer to the shack and finds themselves not challenged. As you draw to within 30ft of the entrance you see that the light is being given by a wan lantern hung within the shack and you can hear a series of muffled *shick* *crack* *slurp* sounds emanating through the doorway. You can see into the dinghy and spy the crosshatch structure of a small crab trap in need to repair.
To the right and away from the shore you see the beginnings of a path marked with stones leading further inland.
You can see most of the interior, though the actual position of the 'person' is still shielded (you'd need a stealth to get close without discovery) from you.

COLUMBIA — The MU Student Recreational Complex schedules dozens of activities each semester, from TigerX classes to intramural sports.
The RecSports website highlights a number of new or improved facilities in 2012. Unrelated construction closed the sand volleyball courts during the 2011-12 school year, but the courts are again open. Leagues will form in two additional sports — racquetball and badminton.
Sand and indoor volleyball leagues return on the new courts, along with flag football, inner tube water polo, table tennis, Frisbee, swimming, basketball and soccer.
RecSports coordinator Joe Sloan sees recreational sports as a great way to relieve stress and the time commitment of classes and work.
"It's a fun time to be able to get away from class and be with friends," Sloan said. "It's not much of a time commitment. It's really low key for what they get out of it and the benefits, the stress relief, the fun and making new friends."
Several leagues are available within each sport including coed, men's open, women's open, men's Greek and women's Greek.
Prices will increase this year to accommodate longer seasons, which will almost double in some sports. In the offseasons, double-elimination tournaments will make an appearance to get more people to get involved.
When signing up for sports, participants need to visit the MU rec complex to sign up before being able to gain access to league schedules online.
"It's a study break," Sloan said. "It's fun recreation."
Intramural sports offered Fall 2012
- Flag Football — $149 per team
- Sand Volleyball — $89 per team
- Indoor Volleyball — $149 per team
- Racquetball — $5 for singles and $10 for doubles
- Table Tennis — $5 for singles and $10 for doubles
- Washers — $5 for singles and $10 for doubles
- Badminton — $5 for singles and $10 for doubles

Origins of the guide
About the creator
he Renaissance
Fourteenth through sixteenth centuries in Europe
In Bruges -- 2008
"In the movie
In Bruges
, Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are two hit men hiding out in the titled city. While in the Belgian town, they do some sightseeing. Throughout the movie there are many architectural marvels that date back to Medieval times. My favorite scene is when Ray, feeling guilty of an accidental murder during his first hit, asks Ken his opinion of the afterlife as they closely study Hieronymus Bosch's painting
The Last Judgment
Sade Brace, Hudson Valley Community College
The Wizard of Oz -- 1939
"Maybe I missed it, but I can't find anyone who has sent in one of the all-time classic art history references. The three kneeling hired hands at the end of
The Wizard of Oz
are a direct quotation from the three shepherds in Hugo Van der Goes'
Altarpiece. Somebody has seen this before, right? "
Rotger Aikin, Creighton University
Metropolis -- 1926
"I know
was mentioned, but I wanted to mention within the film, aside from the great expressionist sets, there's the long still of the tower of Babel, which seems to directly quote from Brueghel's painting of the same (one of many from that period, I am sure)."
Kerry Herman, Brown University
Solaris -- 1972
"Slow pans of Brueghel's
Hunters in the Snow
in some scenes. Can't recall whether it's a shot of actual painting in the scene, or the painting itself as the scene."
Hon Khiam Leong
A Room with a View -- 1986
"The interior of Santa Croce, Florence, in
Room with a View
Susan Caroselli, Messiah College
"What about
A Room with a View
filmed on location with a segment in front of Uccello's
Battle of San Romano
in the National Gallery, London? It never fails to make me miss Tuscany."
Kathy Andrus, U. of Colorado
The Decameron -- 1970
"In general, I've found that the process of fresco painting lends itself well to movies: not just the cartoon-and-pouncing scenes in
The Agony and the Ecstasy
, but a similar scene in Pasolini's
showing the Giotto-like painter (played by Pasolini himself) working on a church interior with his assistants."
Martha Hollander, Hofstra University
A Summer's Lease -- 1989
"The BBC production
A Summer's Lease
, shows a number of works by Piero della Francesca and beautiful shots of Arezzo's back streets and surrounding countryside."
Paul Hamilton, Univ. of Saskatchewan
Prince of Foxes -- 1949
"An earlier, seldom seen movie is
Prince of Foxes
, with Tyrone Power and Orson Welles as Cesare Borgia. This was filmed in and around Siena circa 1947, and wonderful scenes in and around the city; the princess holds court beneath Simone Martini's
, for example."
Adrienne DeAngelis, Rutgers University
Bobby Deerfield -- 1977
"there is
Bobby Deerfield
, shot mostly in Florence, with lots of exterior scenes in the city, although anybody who knows Florence will be taken aback at the new street organization. It also has a nice scene in which the hero (Al Pacino), bringing his love groceries which appear to include Wonderbread in a pristine brown paper bag, stops to gaze sadly at the stucco Christ in the forecourt of the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo."
Adrienne DeAngelis, Rutgers University
Three Coins in the Fountain -- 1954
"Roman exteriors, the interiors of some Roman churches, the gardens of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, and the grotesque gardens at Bomarzo appear in either or both
Rome Adventure
Three Coins in the Fountain
Susan Caroselli, Messiah College
Reservoir Dogs -- 1992
"There's a moment in Quentin Tarantino's
Reservoir Dogs
that employs an image of Mantegna's
St. Sebastian
(as print hanging on the wall) to foreshadow a violent event that ensues. I've never shown a clip, but have mentioned it in survey class as a way to underscore the enduring relevance of the tradition, even in the ultra-hip, postmodern world of TQ et al."
Charlotte Eyerman, Union College
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen -- 1989
"How about the
Baron Munchausen
(Terry Gilliam film) for the for the eighteenth century and a great Botticelli
Birth of Venus
Patricia Trutty-Coohill, Western Kentucky U.
Antonia -- 1995
"What about the 1995
Antonia's Line
), directed by Marleen Gorris? There's a great scene in which a young woman envisions her child's lovely, blonde teacher as Botticelli's Venus (
Birth of Venus
Catherine DiCesare, U. of New Mexico
The English Patient -- 1996
"For a more current example there's always the wonderful scene in
The English Patient
of Piero della Francesca's
True Cross
cycle at Arezzo viewed by torchlight."
Martha Hollander, Hofstra University
The Spy Who Loved Me -- 1977
"I just came across scenes from Piero della Francescas
Legend of the True Cross
decorating the villains liar in
The Spy Who Loved Me
Rose Aidin
The Last Temptation of Christ-- 1986
"A useful comparison may be the crucifixion scenes in Martin Scorsese's
Last Temptation of Christ
and Antonello da Messina's
Christ between Two Convicts with Mary and John the Evangelist
from 1475 currently located in Antwerp."
David Fox, Harvard University
Viridiana -- 1961
"-Luis Bunuel's
, for a sequence parodying Leonardo's
Last Supper
Robert Belton, OUC
"One movie that has not been mentioned in the marvelous parody of the da Vinci
Last Supper
that is found in a film by Bunuel, called
, I believe."
Roger H. Boulet, Kamloops Art Gallery
"I bet no-one has thought of the supper scene from the movie
played out while the dentist (can't remember his nickname but it had something to do with one of his appendages) is preparing to commit suicide by swallowing the Black Pill. His friends at the table arrange themselves for one fleeting moment into a tableau depicting da Vinci's
Last Supper
. I thought it was very clever..."
Jacky Ridley, UWO
The Freshman -- 1990
Arsene Lupin -- 1932
"Mona makes another appearance in Andy Bergman's
The Freshman
where Matthew Broderick's girlfriend (Anne Miller) claims that the Louvre picture is just a copy made to hide the theft of the original during its USA tour. John Barrymore steals the
Mona Lisa
which he wraps around his umbrella (
Arsene Lupin
, 1932)."
Robert Baron
Annie -- 1982
"The movie
(with Albert Finney and Aileen Quinn)has three references to artworks - the sculpture
The Winged Victory
, the
Mona Lisa
and a self-portrait of Rembrandt."
Joanna Duder
Looney Tunes: Back in Action -- 2003
"This video is definitely appeals more to younger students. However, there is a fun scene in which the antagonists chase the main characters through the Louvre and through the actual paintings. Dali's
Persistence of Memory
, Seurat's
Sunday on Grande Jatte
, and the
Mona Lisa
are included in this scene. "
Alyssa Flaten, Fergus Falls Middle School
Annie -- 1982
Ever After -- 1998
"I was surprised that you did not have
with Carol Burnett, or
Ever After
with Drew Barrymore. Both of these films have the
Mona Lisa
in them. In fact in
Ever After
it is stolen from Leonardo by gypsies. In
, Daddy Warbucks thinks it has an interesting smile so he tells them to hang it in the bathroom. Both films have a good showing of the picture."
Bentley family
The Shoes of the Fisherman -- 1968
"Here's an idea: I love the movie
Shoes of the Fisherman
, based on the novel by Morris West, with the poly-ethnic Anthony Quinn as a Ukrainian (or other Soviet bloc country) who becomes Pope (it seemed more far-fetched before John Paul II). Anyway, his election takes place in a remarkable facsimile (could it possibly be the real thing?) of the Sistine Chapel, with overview shots of the space, while cardinals process in etc. I usually recommend it to students, but most have never heard of it."
Paula Spilner, U. of Delaware
The Agony and the Ecstasy -- 1965
The Agony and the Ecstasy
Lust for Life
are more obvious examples useful for lectures on Michelangelo and van Gogh, respectively (not for a better look at the works, but as starting points for examining the mythologies surrounding those romanticized artists)."
Craig Eliason, Rutgers University
2012 -- 2009
Angels and Demons -- 2009
(shocking movie!) has a fleeting glimpse of Michelangelos
sculpture in a crate about to be shipped onto on of the arks at the end of the (shocking!) film there is also a shot of the Sistine ceiling crumbling from an earthquake and shots of the Vatican.This was maybe a reference to Dan Browns (shocking) movie
Angels and Demons
where there was again a crumbling Sistine ceiling and whole chapel shot -- I would mention these first two in passing to get student interest in how art history concepts are used"
Joanna Duder
Six Degrees of Separation -- 1993
"You have a citation for
Six Degrees of Separation
which mentions the (two-sided) Kandinsky painting, but no mention of Stockard Channing's character in the Sistine Chapel during renovations where she is invited to slap part of the painting on the ceiling."
Rodney Love
The Rocky Horror Picture Show -- 1975
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
features Michelangelo's scene of Adam's hand reaching towards God (or vice-versa...) from the Sistine Chapel on the bottom of the swimming pool."
Rodney Love
The Merry Widow -- 1925
"The infamous (scandalous)
The Merry Widow
Director, Erich von Stroheim...(1920's) Amidst the tension between male/female characters..the male lead feels subjugated and the moment is illustrated by a little replica of Michelangelo's Slave...very interesting. (I hope I am not confusing this scene with another movie, Queen Kelly)"
Marta Budd
The Passion of the Christ -- 2004
"In the final crucifixion scene, as Jesus is slowly lowered down from the cross into Mary's arms, the camera pans out slowly. When the camera finally pauses, the scene is an exact replica of Michelangelo's
Marie Bauermeister
The Portrait of a Lady -- 1996
"this submission does not really meet your criteria as the scene is so brief, but in
The Portrait of a Lady
(1996) Isabel Archer is shown striding across the Campidoglio. When I saw this I was jarred by the bare pedestal -- as it is now bereft of the equestrian sculpture of Marcus Aurelius -- but in the 19th c., when
The Portrait of a Lady
was set, the sculpture would indeed have been there, I think. Nice to see the Campidoglio pavement, though, and I think there was a glimpse of the colossal head of Constantine inside the Museum cortile."
Pat Thompson, Michigan State Univ.
The Conviction -- 1991
"The movie, directed by Marco Bellocchio, is a controversial discussion on sex, life, beauty, mostly taking place in Villa Farnese (or Palazzo Farnese) in Caprarola. The story starts with a young woman (Claire Nebout) and an architect (Vittorio Mezzogiorno) who are accidentally locked in Villa Farnese overnight. This enforced intimacy devolves into a night of love-making. But in the morning the man reveals he had the keys the entire time. The woman accuses him of rape. The question that dominates the court trial is, "Was it coercion or mutual passion?"
There are many interior scenes showing Taddeo and Federico Zuccari's frescoes, the famous spiral staircases and some works in the rooms (copies of Bernini's
Apollo and Daphne
and of a
by Raphael). The scene showing the youg girl naked lying on the Villa's canopy bed is a patent citation from Goya's
Maya desnuda
. Furthermore, the movie contains some interesting discussions of aesthetics between the main character (the architect Colaianni, accused of rape) and the prosecution attorney about the unconsciousness and spontaneousness of beauty."
Margherita d'Ayala Valva, Arcadia University in Rome
Don Giovanni -- 1970
"Definitely, Losey's
Don Giovanni
for Palladio's villas."
Bertrand Rouge, Universite de Pau
Ripley's Game -- 2002
"Directed by Liliana Cavani; based on the book by Patricia Highsmith; John Malkovich as Tom Ripley. Much of the movie was filmed in the Veneto with views of the Villa Emo (Treviso) and the Teatro Olimpico (Vicenza) and some other sites that I did not recognize. The repeated villa views show the long stone ramp well; the views of the Teatro are brief."
Pat Thompson, Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
La Grande Bouffe -- 1973
"Nearly two decades have passed since I saw
Das grosse Fressen
in Germany. The Italian or English film titles are unknown to me -- "A Beastly Feast" might work well in English. Was it by Fellini? In any case, the film used Palladio's Villa Rotonda and provided rather extensive exterior views before going inside. As I recall, we are taken all around the inside and outside of the building, providing a memorable feeling for the structure. At the time I saw the film I was convinced that I was experiencing the real Villa Rotonda -- upstairs, downstairs, and from various perspectives outside. Those who would use this footage in class should know where to stop it -- or be ready for class reaction to the banquet scene which involves extensive, mass fecal ingestion. Well, it is memorable and all the while we continue to experience the interior of the Villa -- if it is the Villa. How many students would be paying attention to the architecture during this main course? Enjoy."
James A. Harmon, Truman State U.
"I think
Das Grosse Fressen
must be the 1973 French-Italian co-production called
la Grande Bouffe
, with Marcello Mastroianno."
Emanuel Jannasch, Dalhousie University
Seven Beauties -- 1976
"One use of a painting in film that I find fascinating, is Lina Wertmuller's placement of Bronzino's
Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time
very prominently in the room of Shirley Stoller's concentration camp guard whom Giancarlo Giannini decides to "seduce" as a means of surviving the war -- in
Seven Beauties
. The opening sequence of jazz with an air battle is also most impressive."
Elizabeth DelAlamo, Montclair
"I also recall a Wertmuller film in which Bronzino's
Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time
was shown in the offices of a Nazi prison camp commandant, implying it had been looted, whereas the actual painting spent the war in the Uffizi (or wherever the Uffizi stored its paintings for the duration)."
Peter Walsh, Wellesley College
"Isn't the painting in the National Gallery and has been there since 1860?"
Ruth Liberman, NYU
Monty Python's Flying Circus -- 1969
"When I was taking art history classes in Mannerism, my professor pointed that Cupid's foot [from Bronzino's
Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time
] is the same one Terry Gilliam animated into the opening sequence of the "Monty Python" series - it squashes everything! Now that I teach art history, I always make it a point to mention this - not that this generation knows who Monty Python is..."
Janet Oliver, Univ. of North Carolina, Greensboro
Laviamoci il cervello -- 1962
"You can admire two fascinating colored
tableaux vivants
- from two Italian Mannerist paintings - in Pasolini's segment "La ricotta" from the Italian movie
Laviamoci il cervello
(1962) (... aka
Let's Have a Brainwash
... aka
), directed by Jean-Luc Godard (segment " Il Nuovo mondo"), Ugo Gregoretti (segment "Il Pollo ruspante"), Pier Paolo Pasolini (segment " La Ricotta"), and Roberto Rossellini (segment "Illibatezza"). The segment "La ricotta" (making a biblical movie about the death of Jesus Christ) is a black and white movie, and the two
tableaux vivants
are in color: 1. Jacopo Pontormo,
c. 1528, Cappella Capponi, Santa Felicita, Florence; and 2. Rosso Fiorentino,
Descent from the Cross
, 1521, Cathedral, Volterra."
Enrico Costa, Università degli Studi di Reggio Calabria
Bram Stoker's Dracula -- 1992
"You might also look at
Bram Stoker's Dracula
. In the scene in the dining hall while the Count entertains his guest (whose name escapes me), Durer's
Self Portrait as Christ
hangs on the wall. There is only a quick glimpse of it- so quick that it could be easily missed. I don't know if they were trying to imitate Durer's appearance in the costume of Dracula when he moves to London, but I thought it was an interesting inclusion."
Christine Jack, U. of Alberta

How should the anchor bolt notch been done? I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.Also the anchor bolts are spaced pretty evenly I would have to measure but they are like every 3 foot.
How should the anchor bolt notch been done? I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Who ever poured the foundation screwed up with the placement of the anchor bolt that needed the notch in the band board.
The shims are not acceptable either. They should be steel, and at least the size of the beam plate (and stacked properly!). A lot of builders grout the pocket. Not sure if that's required or not.
Is there the possibility that the rim joists were cut because the concrete is not not level, but dips down from the corner?

My lumber yard KNOWS to send me straight lumber or it will come back....
Well they are replacing the board and will fix the shims. They will be mortaring in the main beam and shims so the shim sizing is fine.

Host: | George Noory |
Guests: | Richard C. Hoagland, Joseph P. Farrell |
In a special 4-hour show, Richard C. Hoagland discussed Wernher von Braun's secret related to anti-gravity technology and space exploration. Researcher Joseph P. Farrell joined in the conversation in the latter half of the program.
Hoagland presented his thesis that during that during the launch of the Explorer I rocket in 1958, von Braun discovered an anti-gravity effect was taking place. The effect, related to the craft's orbit, defied Newtonian physics and was kept secret, said Hoagland. He explained that he pieced it together using "circumstantial physics."
Farrell outlined Nazi connections associated with the anti-gravity discovery. A "post-war Nazi International" group may have employed alternative physics for a secret space program running parallel to NASA, he stated. Von Braun was obsessed with Mars, and Hoagland suggested the Nazis believed their ancestors came from Mars, and their goal was to return there. For more, see the Enterprise Mission report Von Braun's 50-Year-Old Secret Part I and Part II.

How many non-LEOs carry a backup weapon?
I am considering the possability of purchasing a sub-compact auto or a small revolver as a back-up gunat some point in the future so I am curious how many non-LEOs carry a backup gun. If you do, what kind of primary and backup gun do you carry and how do you carry your backup gun? Thanks in advance.

Don't know if you would consider this a back up gun.
I carry IWB. Sometimes when weather dictates I have a coat. When it is cold I button it up. Those times a J frame or Kahr goes in my front right hand coat pocket as a second gun. Not really back up more like quick access gun. I would not go lower then 9mm or 380. Only becasue that is what I have, nothing against 380, I just have guns that fit the niche in a larger caliber. |

I don't think the need is really there for a non-LEO to carry a backup gun. That's not to suggest that non-law enforcement shouldn't or anything, just that I think the reasons law enforcement should don't really apply to non-law enforcement.

often carry a snubbie Smith in an ankle or pocket holster, as well as the 1911 or a Smith revolver in a belt holster.

One firearm is enough for me and my limited hide pockets and such...... I must admit I am in and out of a vehicle a lot of times in a 8-10 hour working day..... I have yet to find a comfortable 100% of the time compact and hoster or carry device. I know if I was an active LEO my answer would likely be different........ Just me......To each his own and if you can do it and be comfortable go for it.... what could it hurt....?

Not allowed to in NC for concealed carry (dunno about open though), so if I'm carrying my gun concealed I'm not carrying anything else gun wise.

For the added extra weight of a BUG, its much more economical to carry a spare magazine or 2.
Besides I figure if you are in a situation where you empty your primary weapon, reload, empty it again, and have to switch to your BUG: You are in deep, deep, Doo-Doo. That BUG is not going to make that much of a difference then. Unless its an Vulcan 20mm Cannon with 10,000 rounds of ammo. |

When it's just me, i carry my Ruger and my XD40 subcompact as a backup. When i'm with the woman, she carries her P99. Better a backup shooter than a BUG, IMO

Depends on what I'm doing, where I'm going and who I'm with. If I'm out and
about on my own, on foot (mostly) then no. If I'm with the wife (who doesn't carry but can shoot) yes. If I'm traveling or going to be in a car a lot then yes. An ankle holster is much easier to get to than a IWB under a shirt, under a seatbelt.

I carry a jframe in my weak side front pocket opposite my IWB carry gun.
The reason? I don't remember where I read it but I remember reading that hand injuries are very common in shootings because people tend to tunnel in in the threat (weapon) first. I would hate to be involved in a self-defense shooting and my only weapon be put out of commission. Besides, the jframe is so easy to carry, it's not like I am going out of my way. W |

It depends. I've taken to using Smartcarry most every day, and often if I go out shopping or what not I'll throw my Beretta on my belt. So, I might be packing two guns but it's not a common occurance (many times I leave smartcarry at home and just pack the Beretta). When I do pack two guns, though, my BUG is usually a FM High Power Detective, soon to be replaced with a P228.

If y'all want to carry 2 or 3 guns that's fine -- I've definitely got nothing against that.
But to me ... as civilians our situation is different from a cops in uniform. I've known quite a few cops, and I've never known a cop working in civvies with a concealed weapon to carry a bug. I'm sure it happens, but I've never known it. Most cops carry a backup gun because they have to carry their primary open. And since their job forces them to occasionally wrestle with bad guys, their biggest concern is they'll lose their primary and their backup is all they have left. The other thing is ... since I'm not out looking for trouble, for me my one and only gun IS a backup weapon. My primary weapon is my brain, watching for problems and avoiding violence whenever possible. Can't imagine taking the responsibility/liability of a 2nd weapon for the 1 in a million chance I'll ever even have to draw. As for the person who had a second primary when he wore his long coat -- I can certainly understand that. I might do the same, but I don't have a coat that restrictive. |

This is much like the mousegun discussion...or even the spare mag discussion
The decision is mostly about convenience and probability What is the probablility of needing a weapon....and how inconvenient is carrying the second weapon/magazine/full-size pistol. If you truly thought you wer going in harms way...and couldn't carry a rifle....you would likely carry a spare weapon. But since you have not actually had to defend yourself.....you convince yourself (often incrementally) that a second weapon is not needed |

When I'm going to the ranch in my truck, my Sig 220 becomes my BUG and my folding stock AK-47 w/30 rounds of HPs becomes my primary
Woe be unto those who try to carjack me/steal my farm equipment. |

Sorry to say, but I am a LEO, and this would be a good question to ask of LEO as well. I can tell you on my shift, I am 1 of about 2/3 officers that carry a BUG. It boggles my mind, I was actually shocked how many officers I worked with that DO NOT carry BUGs.

I don't know... even as a non-LEO this thread has started me thinking that at the close ranges that many self defense shootings occur at, it could be a real possibility that a bad guy might decide that lunging at me and trying to wrestle my gun away is the best course of action for his survival. In which case I'd very much like having a second gun I can suprise them with, especially since at 5'10", 160 lbs I'm not a very big guy and probably wouldn't win a wrestling match for my primary.

Two Alabama workers at a manufacturing plant in Montgomery County were each injured in separate accidents at the end of last year. Both workers had their arms injured a few weeks apart from machinery that was not properly equipped for safety. One worker received a gash when the equipment struck him, and the other broke his arm.
A broken arm or some stitches might not seem like serious injuries when compared to the catastrophic outcomes of other workplace accidents in Alabama. However, this accident occurred in a plant that manufacturers dry powder paint. Likely these men worked on a line that requires the use of both of their arms. A broken arm can mean weeks in a cast, and sometimes even surgery. In similar instances, injured workers in Alabama can not only get their medical expenses covered, but also receive pay for their recovery time under workers' compensation.
The extent of these workers' injuries was not detailed in a local report, nor was their recovery time. However, these injuries were enough to get the attention of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA was concerned about the close proximity of the accidents, so the administration conducted an investigation into the Alabama plant to understand if there was an ability to mitigate the risk of additional accidents.
The investigation concluded that both workers were injured because the employer knew or should have known that there was equipment that lacked proper guarding for conveyor rollers. Accordingly, the company was fined $41,600 because an area director from OSHA said, "These injuries could have been prevented if the employer implemented the recommendations of a safety consultant to provide machine guarding for the conveyor rollers on the mixer hoppers."
It is unfortunate that more employers across the entire state of Alabama do not take enough of an interest in proactively avoiding workplace injuries. Luckily, there are measures in place to protect the financial security of Alabama workers following workplace accidents. Speaking to an experienced legal attorney will better assist a worker in understanding how to obtain their full benefits.

Promoting Consensus in Society Through Deferred-Implementation AgreementsOmri YadlinTel Aviv University - Buchmann Faculty of Law Ariel PoratTel Aviv University; University of Chicago - Law School Abstract: Social agreement regarding redistribution of wealth is often unattainable because the poor cannot sufficiently compensate the rich for their contribution. In this paper, we submit that under certain circumstances, such an agreement could obtain wide-spread support if, and only if, it contains a clause postponing the implementation of the redistribution of wealth by a given period of time. Thus, despite the fact that consensus on redistribution at the present cannot be attained, society can reach an agreement to redistribute wealth in the future. We term such an agreement a "deferred-implementation agreement" ("DIA") and focus on two reasons which could explain the appeal of such an agreement. The first reason is that the rich take the possibility into account that they might be compelled to change sides with the poor some time in the future and would become the beneficiaries of the redistribution scheme, rather than its financiers. The second reason is that a DIA entails the externalization of costs to third parties, thereby reducing the costs of the agreement to the contracting parties. In addition to promoting consensus in society regarding the redistribution of wealth, which might be virtuous in itself, DIAs can also be justified on normative grounds. Firstly, by establishing the possibility of a change of sides, the DIA places the parties to the agreement behind the veil of ignorance, or at least closer to this position, and encourages them to make an unbiased decision as to whether to enter into the social agreement. Secondly, despite the inefficiencies commonly associated with externalities, the externalization of costs from the present generation to future generations and to others who are ultimately expected to benefit from the agreement might be an efficient move that also promotes intergenerational justice. Arguably, if DIAs were such an attractive mechanism as we contend, one should expect these agreements to be widely used in the real world. We believe that the main reason for the rarity of DIAs is the parties' concern that future generations might avoid implementing such agreements. However, if the parties to these agreements utilized certain mechanisms and adopted a few constraints discussed below, such agreements would become less vulnerable to future nullification.
