On 5 August 2016, anti-government forces from the Free Syrian Army and the Islamist coalition Jaish al-Fateh stormed and captured a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) artillery school facility during operations aimed at breaking the Syrian regime siege of Eastern Aleppo. The following day, rebel group Ahrar al-Sham posted photos of materiel in the facility's 'Ordnance Square'. Apart from a number of artillery pieces more commonly seen in the Syrian conflict, a photo showed a Soviet 180 mm S-23 artillery gun in the travelling position.
An interesting look at one of the more obscure Soviet artillery pieces.

What's your favorite plane? What's your favorite plane picture?
That's an F-4E, and I belive the MY tail code is Seymour Johnson AFB, sometime in the mid 1980s.
BTW, there's an interesting difference between how the Navy and the Air Force developed the various sub-types of F-4.
The Navy F-4B and F-4J (and their F-4N and F-4S mods) always had a limited ground attack capability, but were always optimized for the air to air role.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would modify some parts of the C, D, and E fleets to be optimized for the air to ground role, with sensors and navigation equipment that made some of their jets very formidable precision strike aircraft. Meanwhile, other parts of the Air Force fleet were still very optimized for the air to air role.

New Zealanders are famous for tinkering in the shed, and restoring old stuff. Like, say, an 88mm flak cannon? H/T to ijkvmi88
Via CDR Salamander- since we're on an Antipodean kick, here's the Aussies and Kiwi's at the Battle of Long Tan.
I was looking up some obscure old US aircraft, and ended up re-reading the wiki entry for the Curtiss SOC Seagull floatplane. Which lead to this personal history of an aircrewman who served in World War II flying from the USS San Francisco. There are a few minor inaccuracies in the telling, but it is a good read. And how about starting the war as a Seaman, and making Chief, and then Chief Warrant Officer?
The new Air Force Chief of Staff is serious about cutting back on useless additional duties.

Again, the acquisition system is stupid.
The massive recall of prisoner-made combat helmets for the Army and Marine Corps was actually three times as big as initial reports indicated, a new investigation has found.
The Defense Department recalled 129,000 Advanced Combat Helmets and Lightweight Marine Corps Helmets in 2010 due to a number of defects and fears soldier and Marines' lives were at risk. Initial reports put that number at only about 40,000-plus.
The U.S.Department of Justice Inspector General conducted two joint investigations into the controversy and a new report issued Wednesday details a number of disturbing findings:
So, for two different contracts, one from the Department of the Army, and another, by the Defense Logistics Agency, on behalf of the Marine Corps, the government solicited bids to make combat helmets for our troops.
ArmorSource, LLC successfully bid for the contracts.
But rather than making the helmets, ArmorSource turns around and subcontracts the production to UNICOR, also known as Federal Prison Industries.
Who owns FPI? The US government.
FPI did spectacularly poor work, and failed to provide the prisoners proper tooling and processes to manufacture the helmets. And FPI jiggered the paperwork to try to conceal just how shoddy their work was.
But ArmorSource gets hammered with the civil settlement. Which, don't get me wrong, that's fair. They have an obligation to ensure the quality of subcontracted work.
But notice that there will be no accountability at FPI. No management at FPI will face criminal charges, and I'd be stunned if anyone was fired.

I've read quite a bit about the epic Battle of Midway, and even seen a movie or two.
But I've never had a chance to read the Japanese after action reports.
Ammunition rooms were immediately ordered flooded, and all hands were ordered to fire-fighting stations. The pump system aboard, however, failed to function and it became apparent that the fire would not be extinguishable in the immediate future. The headquarters, therefore, was moved to the Nagara at 0746. Subsequent to this, every effort was made to bring the fire under control but it became increasingly evident that there would be little hope of success.
At 1038, the Emperor's portrait was transferred to the destroyer Nowake. By 1620, the situation was deemed hopeless, and the captain of the Akagi decided to order all hands to abandon ship. A report to that effect was made to the commander of the Mobile Force and the order was issued at 1625. Personnel began transferring to the destroyers Arashi and Nowake at 1700. At 1925 CinC Combined Fleet ordered: "Delay disposition." While standing by awaiting further orders, CinC Combined Fleet ordered: "Dispose," at 0150 on the 6th. In accordance with this order, the ship was scuttled at 0200, in position 30-30N, 178-40W.

Airbus Defence and Space imagery captured on 11 August 2016 shows significant activity related to China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) projects at Dalian Shipyard, including the assembly of the country's first indigenous aircraft carrier (CV), the Type 001A, and the production of Type 052D guided-missile destroyers (DDGs).
The imagery shows that, with the addition of the bow section and other exterior components, the assembly of the Type 001A CV is nearly complete. Two of the component fabrication areas adjacent to the dry dock are largely clear of materials, indicating that work on the Type 001A hull is nearing an end. Few uninstalled components remain present, including the forward aircraft elevator.

The leak of what purports to be a National Security Agency hacking tool kit has set the information security world atwitter - and sent major companies rushing to update their defenses.
Well, what do you know.
The tool kit consists of a suite of malicious software intended to tamper with firewalls, the electronic defenses protecting computer networks. The rogue programs appear to date back to 2013...
The auctioneers claim the tools were stolen from the Equation Group, the name given to a powerful collective of hackers exposed by antivirus firm Kaspersky Lab in 2015. Others have linked the Equation Group to the NSA's hacking arm, although such claims are extraordinarily hard to settle with any certainty.
The leaked tools "share a strong connection" with the Equation Group, Kaspersky said in a blog post late Tuesday. The Moscow-based company said the two used "functionally identical" encryption techniques.
The leaked tools also appear to be powerful, according to a running analysis maintained by Richmond, Virginia-headquartered Risk Based Security. The group said several of the vulnerabilities targeted by the malware - including one affecting Cisco firewalls - were previously unknown, a sign of a sophisticated actor.
And an early candidate for the Understatement of the Year:
Nicholas Weaver, a researcher at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, said that the news was terrible for the NSA no matter the circumstances behind the leak because companies like Cisco guard critical U.S. infrastructure.
"If the NSA discovered breach in 2013 and never told Cisco/Fortinet, this is VERY BAD," he said in a message posted to Twitter . "If they didn't know, this is VERY BAD."
The NSA has not returned repeated messages seeking comment.
Ya don't say. The description of the "auction" in the article seems intended to make the reader think the perpetrators are somewhat incompetent. They aren't. The "auction" is a smoke screen, though undoubtedly money will change hands. These hacking tools, although 2-3 years old, will be reverse engineered, pulled apart, repackaged, and modified to avoid detection and scanning, and will be used against all manner of US public and private sector systems, just as portions of the STUXNET code was (and still is).
The US Government in general (and DoD in particular) shows itself time and again to be incredibly arrogant when it comes to network security. Because they can see and track certain hackers, they think they can see them all. They assert that attribution by technical means alone is possible. It is not. There is no real consideration that the breaches seen by NSA are, in part, deliberately made visible so that the adversary can study the techniques used in forensic investigations. Or that the most talented of the Black Hats are all but undetectable.
Also, there seems little real understanding of the immense number of gateways possible for entry into critical networks, and what REAL damage can be done by someone with institutional or operational knowledge of the network structure and intended function. Or that exploits can be (and are) nested in networks already, without the knowledge of users or managers. Nor does there seem to be an understanding of how rapid the response to a network breach must be. To the government, a "rapid" response to such a breach happens in hours or days, whereas the damage of a malicious hack occurs in seconds, or at most, minutes.
And they wonder why the Private Sector views government "help" with such a jaundiced eye?
I spose I ought to finish my "cyber awareness" training. In two-plus years, I have been made to do this "annual" training five times. Why? Reflective Belt Technique.

The USAF has issued a Request for Information (FRI) as it studies the possibility of increasing the use of contractor owned, contractor operated (COCO) adversary aircraft. Air Combat Command (ACC) is conducting an analysis of Adversary Air (ADAIR) capabilities to fill a 'significant gap' in its training requirements. The service reportedly suffered from a shortage of adversary 3,000 sorties at Nellis AFB, Nevada, during 2016 and that number is expected to rise as F-35 training ramps up.
The USAF currently only operates two aggressor squadrons; the 18th AGRS at Eielson AFB, Alaska, and the 64th AGRS at Nellis. The 65th AGRS, that flew F-15C/Ds, disbanded in 2014. Draken International and Discovery Air Defence Services are both offering contractor air services, along with Textron, which has recently purchased the former ATAC (Airborne Tactical Advantage Co).
It's a growth industry, using low cost aircraft- contractor owned, contractor operated, or COCO- to provide low end adversary services.
That saves the high end USAF and USN Adversary Squadrons for high end missions.

NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, Md., Aug. 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Marine Corps has begun a full reset of its CH-53E helicopters to address an issue that came to light after a fatal 2014 crash, the Navy said Wednesday.
The work on 147 of the aging Super Stallion heavy lift aircraft is aimed at increasing the number of operationally fit aircraft and addressing systemic issues that have in recent years driven the platform's readiness to unsustainable depths, Naval Air Systems Command said in a statement.
via www.upi.com
This is what happens when aircraft designed for a 20 year life have to soldier on for 40 years.
The SuperStallion's replacement, the CH-53K, is progressing through flight testing right now, but it will be quite a few years before it reaches the fleet in any numbers. And without the CH-53E, the Marine Corps is out of the assault business.

Plans are progressing to extend online military exchange shopping privileges to all honorably discharged veterans, Military Times has learned.
The Defense Department's Executive Resale Board voted unanimously Aug. 9 to recommend the policy change, sources said. Extended shopping privileges would apply only to the exchange system's online stores — not brick-and-mortar facilities located on military installations.
The Pentagon did not immediately confirm the's board move, and its unclear what its next steps will be. Officials have said previously that they'd like to implement the expanded benefit on Veterans Day 2017.
Who knew AAFES had an online service?
While I suppose it is possible someone somewhere would benefit from this, it is hard to see how it would compete with Amazon.
On the other hand, implementation should be relatively inexpensive. Of course, the goal here is not to actually provide a benefit to veterans, but rather increase the profits of the exchange systems. Which, I don't really have to great an issue with that, as the profits are the major source of funding for Morale Welfare and Recreation funds, which do tangibly benefit servicemembers.

Currently, the estate tax exemption per individual for 2016 is $5.45 million. For a married couple, after the death of the second spouse, that amounts to a total exemption of $10.9 million. That's right smack in the heart of a successful small business or farm.
I used to make a lot of money working with families to mitigate the harm the estate tax would do to their families. There's an entire industry devoted to that. Between paying lawyers and those of us in the financial industry considerable sums, they could, with some care, completely avoid paying any estate tax. So the government got nothing. But the capital of the families was reduced by the regulatory burden of having to mitigate government interference with their livelihoods.
Finally, the estate tax is perhaps the most clear case of the government mentality that all wealth belongs to the state eventually, and the citizen is merely allowed to have some small share of it some of the time.

Oscarweb Round-up: Stanley Kubrick's 'Fear and Desire' to air on TCM tonight
Friendly reminder: Turner Classic Movies is going to air Stanley Kubrick's first film, "Fear and Desire," tonight at 8pm ET. I've actually never seen the film, despite Kubrick being my favorite filmmaker. I happened to see "Killer's Kiss" back in film school, a ratty video tape version (it's on the Blu-ray of "The Killing" now, though). But never this one. So you can bet I'll tune my DVR. Kubrick famously disowned the film after it was released and tried to ensure that no one would ever see it again by not re-releasing the print. Unbeknownst to him, Kodak had a policy of making an extra prints for their archives. That's the one that survives today. So, yay for Kodak. [Turner Classic Movies]

3D Data Maps
Data Visualization is the attempt to display information in new ways. For instance,
a map was once a "flat" (2D) piece of paper/parchment. As time went on,
the map was overlaid onto a sphere and we had our first globe. Data Visualization
hopes to take those concepts into the 21st century.
Lunar Prospector was launched on January 7 1998, went into orbit around the Moon
on January 11 1998 and completed its year and a half mission with the impact of the
spacecraft with the Moon on 31 July 1999.
We will replay some of the data around interesting events. On March 13 1998, Lunar
Prospector experienced a penumbral eclipse as the moon saw the earth partially block
the sun. See status report #21 for more
information. Playing March 13 1998 (072) from 00 to 04 hours GMT. The spacecraft
will go behind the moon as well as experience the earth's shadow. Makes for changes

Your Complete Example-Rich Guide to Using and Extending LINQ to Objects and PLINQ
Using LINQ to Objects, .NET developers can write queries over object collections with the same deep functionality that was once available only with SQL and relational databases. Now, for the first time, developers have a comprehensive and authoritative guide to applying LINQ to Objects in real-world software. Microsoft MVP Troy Magennis introduces state-of-the-art techniques for working with in-memory collections more elegantly and efficiently—and writing code that is exceptionally powerful, robust, and flexible.
Drawing on his unsurpassed experience coding software using LINQ and hosting the popular HookedOnLINQ.com site, Magennis presents timely, realistic solutions to a wide spectrum of development challenges, such as combining data from multiple sources, and achieving optimal performance with extremely large sets of data. You'll begin with brief quick-starts that walk you through LINQ to Objects' key features and query syntax. Next, you'll drill down to detailed techniques for applying and extending these features with C# 4.0 and C# 3.0—including code examples that reflect the realities of production development.
Coverage includes
- Writing basic LINQ queries with C#: filtering, projecting, and sorting data from in-memory collections
- Mastering advanced techniques for grouping and joining data and understanding the performance implications of each technique
- Taking full advantage of LINQ's standard query operators
- Creating custom query operators that follow best practices for coding patterns and error handling
- Writing more fluent, readable LINQ queries with C# 4.0's language enhancements, including the new dynamic features
- Combining LINQ with COM-Interop to access data sources such as Microsoft Excel
- Using Parallel LINQ to Objects (PLINQ) to optimize queries for multi-core processors, and how to build custom parallel query operators
- Integrating the best LINQ to Objects patterns into your day-to-day coding

text: Matthew Geary Department of English LiteratureDoctoral researcher Contact details Phd title: T. S. Eliot and the Mother: Ambivalence, Allegory and Form Supervisors: Professor Steve Ellis PhD English Literature Research I am a doctoral researcher in English Literature and Psychoanalysis at the University of Birmingham. My current research involves a psychoanalytic re-reading of a selection of T. S. Eliot's works utilising differing psychoanalytic and philosophical frameworks (Freudian, Lacanian, Object Relations, Post-Lacanian, Feminist, esp. Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray). My research has a maternal bias and focuses on the role of the mother as central to the process of psychic development of not only the child but also art, text and culture. Noting that for the last thirty-five years the critical search for the mother has been almost entirely 'daughter-centric', I am especially concerned with the mother-son relationship as a continuing 'taboo topic'. My work reconsiders literary representations of mother-son relationships, mother-son ambivalence, the maternal and the maternal body, mothering and motherhood, and the elaboration of a maternal poetics in the works of male modernist and postmodernist writers in light of recent advancements in maternal theory, gender theory, psychoanalytic theory and feminist theory. Further, it proposes a new theory of allegory brought closer to the maternal body than previously stated. My MPhil thesis T. S. Eliot and the Female Divine was fully funded by the AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council). My Ph.D. is fully funded by a College Scholarship from the University of Birmingham College of Arts and Law Graduate School. Prior to my PhD I completed my BA in English Literature at the University of Birmingham in 2010, receiving a first class honours degree. I was awarded the Tess Winnall Memorial Prize on the grounds of academic merit and general contribution to the life of the University, and also the Tibbatts Memorial Prize for being deemed the most proficient in English. Other activities I am co-founder, organiser and chair of the PsyLit network based at the University of Birmingham www.uobpsylit.wordpress.com. I am a member of BAMS (The British Association of Modernist Studies), and also a member of the PSYLITFILM network based at the University of Sussex. I co-organized the Other Eliots: Contemporary Trends in T. S. Eliot Studies conference which took place on Friday 18 April, 2014, at the University of Birmingham.

One of a kind, i spent a whole day searching for plugin to put a stylish menu in twenty sixteen widget section until i found this one, even though it need to update but still work well .. cross my fingers and hope the developer update it.
Thank you
Shows in my header (!!) and no items in the popup submenu - it's just empty.
Actually, I was looking for a theme that allows for a left navi. The one's I've seen were kind of pricey. I kept searching a on the wordpress forum someone mentioned this plugin. I had nothing to lose so I install it and tried it out. It works really well. My next step is to upgrade to the commercial licensed version.
Thanks for this very helpful plugin.
Great plugin. Just what I was looking for. Its simple and easy to setup.

Bleasdale is only 20 and a rookie on the world stage but she refused to make excuses for her performance at the Olympic Stadium.
She stuttered over her opening height of 4.45 metres at the second attempt and then failed to take out a normally regulation 4.55m.
It was a mark she had sailed over with ease in qualifying, indeed she has jumped better than that in 12 competitions this year and only posted a lower height on three occasions.
"I'm really heartbroken," she said.
"I felt like I could have jumped 4.70m but I struggled to cope with the conditions, there was a really bad headwind and then, all of a sudden, there was a strong crosswind.
"You can't be too disappointed to finish in the top eight of an Olympic final I suppose but I wanted more.
"I am really privileged to have competed in front of a crowd like this. I think I was lacking experience, as when the other girls come to a competition they know what to expect, and I don't. Hopefully, by Rio, I will be at the top of my game."
Conditions certainly didn't make life easy for Bleasdale, who jumped a massive 4.87m indoors earlier this year to announce herself a serious Olympic medal contender.
However, at least the performance was an improvement on her major senior debut in Daegu last year, when she failed to record a height in qualifying at World Championships.
"It's definitely not as disappointing as Daegu," she added.
"I think the lack of experience I have at major championships made it harder to cope with the conditions. But I will learn from that and next time I will pick up my game.
"I had felt amazing in qualification and I'd breezed over 4.55m by probably 20 centimetres, so to come in and produce that performance in the final is very frustrating."
Bleasdale repeatedly waited until the final seconds of her countdown to jump as she hoped the wind would settle, with several athletes experiencing similar problems.
She will now sit down with French coach Julien Raffalli-Ebezant and plan her 2013 season, with next year's European Indoor Championships and World Championships in Moscow on her radar.
And in the long-term she may have two more Olympics to compete, while she will be at her peak when the world's athletes return to this stadium for the 2017 World Championships.
"I am only 20 and I can't forget I've had a good season," she added.
"I've got some big heights and there are still a couple of competitions left where hopefully I get the conditions to jump even higher.
"It was really tough but I will learn from this and it's only my first Games."

Redefining what's possible.
Dr. Paula Nurius received her joint doctorate in social work and psychology from the University of Michigan where she also received her MA in psychology. She received her MSW from the University of Hawaii. During her graduate training she was awarded an NIMH traineeship award and the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship and Dissertation Grant Awards. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare.
Professor Nurius studies processes and effects of stress and trauma focusing on vulnerable and socially disadvantaged populations, early/preventive intervention and fostering resilience. Her research on life course stress integrates structural, psychosocial and biobehavioral mechanisms, distinguishing direct, cumulative and interactive effects of early and later life stress exposures alongside protective factors. A mental health specialist, she is increasingly focusing on comorbid physical, mental, and behavioral health outcomes as well as incorporating effects of the physical environment—such as air pollution and neighborhood characteristics—in multi-level models to explain stress responding and disparities in health and functioning outcomes.
Dr. Nurius brings extensive experience teaching and collaborating within interdisciplinary frameworks. She served as doctoral program director for 7 years, directed a Prevention Research Training program funded by NIMH for 16 years, has been a faculty mentor and advisor across multiple training programs, and has taught a range of interdisciplinary graduate courses. She has served as vice-president of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) and the Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education, co-leads SSWR efforts relating to national research capacity building and advancing research career supports within social work, and is active in university and national initiatives focused on evolving models of transdisciplinary research, translational pathways between research and its societal impact, and implications for research and professional degree training.
Dr. Nurius has University of Washington affiliations with the Center for Statistics and Social Science, Center for Demography and Ecology, Harborview Injury Prevention Research Center, Center for Child and Family Well-Being, and the Institute of Translational Health Sciences.

I've searched the forum for a resolution to this issue but don't see one. I am using the latest wordpress and the latest nggallery. This is on a brand new server with a brand new wordpress install. When I activate the plugin and go to the settings, it notifies me that I am upgrading from an old version. Of course since this is a clean install, that is not true. I click on "Start upgrade now..." and it returns successful. I click "Continue" and it takes me back to the upgrade notification. Any help is appreciated.
I am using NextGEN Gallery 1.3.5 on WordPress 2.8.4 on Turnkey Linux (an Ubuntu derivative)

/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/codemagic/langs/de.js and similar ../ds.js files are not found. How can I install ultimate tinymce on german wordpress blog?
Some of the plugins added to Ultimate Tinymce are developed by third parties. Most of these plugins do not have updated language files.
You would need to manually set up your own language files to use it in German.
I can help you by showing you what file you which file you need to edit. If you're wanting to manually translate it.
I was just thinking...
What's happening? Is the plugin not functioning... or is it just not displaying in your language?
Plugin is working for posts/pages but not for custom page types. On custom page type it is not displaying tinymce and java script console throws out errors about the missing language files (all de.js) so I think this could be the problem.
Also the editor within custom page types is displaying visual text editor content with foreground color same as backgroud color, so it is impossible to edit without switching to html view.
I will check this later by creating german language files.
That sounds like it's a javascript issue. I'm not sure if a missing language file would cause the editor to "break" like that.
It's usually because there is a javascript conflict (like a function not written in no-conflict mode), or it's because two wp_editor instances are calling using the same ID.
Are you using another plugin which modifies or enhances your custom post type? I might also try deactivating all my other plugins... and see if Ultimate Tinymce works with just your theme. This would let you know if it's a plugin conflict.
I am using Types plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/types/
My theme is commercial theme that is not downloadable for free.
I think you can also download language packs for some of the plugins from moxiecode.
It won't have them all, as some are custom... but it should have a bunch of them...
Meanwhile I found out that setting my blog language to en_EN (from de_DE) fixes visual editor. But I do not know exactly why...
This sounds very strange.
How does your custom page type use it's textarea for entering data? Do they use the wp_editor function?
Where can I find this function?
<?php wp_editor($post->post_content, 'content', array('dfw' => true, 'tabindex' => 1) ); ?>
Make a backup, then try this in place of the code above:
<?php wp_editor($post->post_content, 'content'); ?>
Just to see what happens...
Did not change anything :(
Okay... would you mind giving me temporary access to the backend of your website? I need to take a look for myself at what you are talking about.
If you don't mind... you can send the login info securely using my contact form:
If you would rather not (which I can understand), then you'll have to let me do some more digging and see what I can think of.

Is it possible to define shared URL by mail and twitter?
Today the URL is not the one i want.
Is it possible to define shared URL by mail and twitter?
Today the URL is not the one i want.
I don't understand and I can't find by myself what is "the one [you] want".
With no more info, you can just read the documentation to find some hooks :
Thank you and happy new year.
Maybe I am getting the meaning of seihta question, and (maybe) I have the same issue.
In a specific WordPress installation I had to "hammer down" the logic of WordPress' "loop". At the same time I had to "bend" juiz_sps logic in order to share a single post from the "index" page, instead of the whole page.
Problem, now, is that juiz_sps shortcode no longer shares each single post (or excerpt), but only the last one.
A perfect solution for me (and maybe for seihta as well) would be to have a way to attach a specific URL to the shortcode, not only for the sharing, but also for the social counter. Something like
[juiz_sps customUrl="the_permalink()"]
[juiz_sps url?ID="the_ID()"]
Is that possible? Or maybe it already exists, but I missed something...
Thank you.
Using shortcode, the plugin automatically shares the page URL. Using the plugin's settings to put buttons before or after content in a list is a solution to share each post URL in a list.
I can add your idea for the next update, but you have to be patient. :)
Thank you.
New version is out!
Do you have more detailed steps for this?
if( !function_exists('jsps_custom_permalink')) {
function jsps_custom_permalink($url) {
return $url.'?fromJsps';
add_filter('juiz_sps_the_shared_permalink', 'jsps_custom_permalink');
I put it in my template but how can I put it into the page with share button that I need to share a different URL instead of the current page? Any short code example for this?
Post a new topic please, and be more precise.
Thank you.

A Moment In Time: First Day Back To School
How I remember the first day of school of my own kids, way back. The Carroll School was a very different place back then, but just as wonderful.
Who remembers Ms. Bell, Mrs. Klapper, Mrs. Marvin, Mr. Ringston, Mrs. Donner, Ms. Bornstein, Mr. Leviton, Ms. Shiripa, Mrs, Horvat and of course, Principal Leff and all the other great teachers who taught there a while back?
I owe them much gratitude for all they did for my kids.
Who do you remember from your school days at PS58?

This revision presentation looks at the basic theory of market demand
This section on market prices looks at the basic theory of demand. Once you have covered this, be clear about what causes a movement along the demand curve and to explain what brings about shifts in the market demand curve for example due to changes in the price of substitutes or complementary goods; changes in real income and tastes and preferences. We will cover price elasticity of demand in a later section.

Commodity Currents: Technical Tuesday. 0 commentsNov 13, 2012 11:16 PM
A buy program on the open sent stocks to the high after sellers in the S&P500 futures were unable to take prices under 1365.75 so had to rush to cover positions although gains ultimately didn't hold so more buying is needed to get over the technical hurdles starting with 1397 with a similar performance with Nasdaq 100 as lows of 2553.00 were rejected resulting in short covering as bull's near term upside objective remains 2695.63 to mark the start of the oversold bounce. 10yr Treasuries were rejected at the highs again, this time 134-055, one tick under the high 2 sessions ago and starting to look a little toppy here with support seen at 133-13 and the Dollar grinds higher challenging resistance at 81.345 with support seen at 80.830. Gold drifts lower after being rejected from 1740 two sessions ago but buyers support at 1717.20 which makes me think there is more upside especially if prices take out 1743.30 and an outside day in Silver pointing to higher ground if can take out 33.285 as buyers support at 32.090 for the third time with more support under that level to check losses with Copper also joining the party forming an outside day while struggling with resistance of 3.4795 as the recent profit-taking appears to have run its course with trend line support from the June lows seen at 3.3725. Crude slipped again still unable to get over 86.32 increasing the chances of more selling as 80.00 remains easily in sight but Natural gas explodes higher after overtaking resistance at 3.600 and exceeding 3.708 so prices need to stay over those levels to keep 3.986 within reach something that could happen sooner then later so stay tuned. Hogs stampeded higher looking for 82.000 but missed the mark in a stunning rejection off the HOD looking like a pullback to support of 79.100 is in order but Cattle advances over 125.450 forming an outside suggesting higher prices if can get a close over 126.075 first. Indecision day in Corn after last session sell off with chart-based support seen at 700 with 682 within reach as the levels of overhead resistance continue to grow starting with 736, Wheat continues lower as well probing the lower end of its recent range at 850 with a lot of white space on the chart until the next support level seen at 808 and the selling in Soybeans slows as prices sit on chart-based support of 1400 as selling conviction is lacking. Oats continues to hold 358 as resistance of 363 caps gains. Coffee leaves a bitter taste for anyone who is long as prices plunge 4.39% to new contract lows as sellers get motivated and where it reverses no one knows yet so stay tuned while Sugar after taking 19.28 held that level today challenging 19.52 but closed poorly although able to stay over the new support level to perhaps try again. Cocoa continues to remain over key support of 2,353 for the fourth time pushing higher with resistance of 2,408 to contend with before more gains are possible and Orange Juice brightens up blowing through 107.90 and tagging 109.80 with a trade to 115.05 not out of the question especially if prices can stay over 108.00 on any pull backs which I expect to be purchased. Cotton fell back under 71.05 unable to make any significant upside keeping a trade to 67.20 on the horizon.
The risk of loss trading commodity futures contracts can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. Trading futures without protective stops or options is not recommended. Past performance is not indicative of future results.Back To Chris Bersaw's Instablog HomePage »

WBC is Launching a Pension Fund For Former Boxers
By James Blears
The World Boxing Council is launching a pension fund for ex-boxers, with the help of luxury Swiss watch company Hublot.
Twelve all time ring greats will help launch the Fund, which is specifically aimed at helping former boxers, who've fallen on hard times.
Hublot have created twelve watches for WBC legends: Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, Roberto Duran, Oscar de la Hoya, Jeff Fenech and Azumah Nelson. Each is engraved with the Champion's signature.
Twelve exact copies will be auctioned of the evening of September 29th at the Bellagio Resort Hotel in Las Vegas. Tickets to this event, which will be attended by the Dynamic Dozen, are one thousand dollars. Proceeds from this and the auction will go directly to the WBC Boxers Pension Fund.
WBC President Jose Sulaiman said: "Having thrilled us with knockouts and lion hearted bravery in the ring, many of our favorite fighters have fallen on hard times, having suffered injuries, and they're living in reduced circumstances. For years, this has been a great concern for those of us who love the sport and care deeply about its participants, who form a precious constellation. Now we can begin to help those boxers in need. We do not forget."
For more information please contact the offices of the WBC in Mexico City.
This is a good idea but I wonder if the WBC is using this to help the organization's image though.Comment by ddangerous on 08-30-2012

I agree. Some of these boxers end up broker than before they started, from 0 money to owing millions to thousands.Comment by Frank Ducketts on 08-30-2012

Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts President Stan Coffin has announced that the team will return to Allan Cup competition when the event is held in New Brunswick in the spring of 2017. The Cataracts are coming off a season that saw them win their third straight Herder Memorial Championship. The team will look to take the next step when it travels to Bouctouche next April. In three previous attempts to win Canada's senior hockey championship the Cataracts advanced to the semi final each time but were unable to advance to the championship final. In the last two Allan Cups the team lost the semi final by just one goal each time, losing in overtime in Clarenville in 2015.

Comedian Shaun Majumder was in Grand Falls-Windsor this weekend to emcee the annual Salmon Dinner kicking off the 2016 Salmon Festival...
During his time on 'stage' at the "Joe", he clearly had trouble containing his enthusiasm for the 3 time defending Herder Champions - Cataracts.
We love you Shaun!

The Cataracts Hockey Club Inc. held their annual Volunteer Appreciation Night last Friday evening,July 8th at the GFW 50+Senior's Complex in Grand Falls-Windsor.
Close to thirty(30) of the regular volunteers for the Cats began the event with BBQ steaks for supper, with snacks and refreshments; and at the end of the evening a draw for numerous "appreciation" prizes.
Stan Coffin, President of the Cataracts organization spoke briefly during the event, to restate the Club's gratitude for the faithful and busy volunteer group the organization has. He highlighted the constant commitment to selling tickets for the many "Draws" the Club holds throughout the year,and running the weekly Bingos at the Royal Canaidian Legion premises all year long.
As well, there is the volunteer team of cooks and servers who provide the cooked meals and food to feed the team in their group meal every weekend the team is at home! The Executive also continues to work hard to market the team and maintain an even keel in the financial operations of the community-based team...
The many families who billet the players every home weekend were also part of the network of people the team is grateful for.
Many of those who gathered last Friday further demonstrated their commitment to the team, by working at the Club's summertime bi-weekly "Giant Bingos", just a few days later, at the Joe Byrne Stadium, the latest Bingo being held there on Tuesday,July 12th. It turned out to be the largest crowd yet for the summertime events: The continuing hard work by the volunteers, particularly at the "Giant Bingos",is not only appreciated by the team, but by the hundreds of local citizens and visitors who attend the summer Bingos.

An emergency meeting of the Corner Brook Royals Booster Club ,last year's club management, and "interested parties" - (numbering some thirty'supporters') - was held very recently in Corner Brook with HNL representatives.
The Corner Brook gathering reviewed extensively the current financial situation, the specifics of outstanding bills, totals on significant fundraising success last season by the Booster Club, sponsor committments and what kind of budget is needed to make the 2016-2017 a reality.
The recent, public notice from Ross Coates and his management team of last season to step back from the Royals has given rise to urgent concern for the resulting operational future of the Royals for all those in the west coast city who want hockey to continue in Corner Brook. Hockey NL has been in the middle of the matter and participated in the recent "emergeny meeting" and the efforts by all to get things back on track to ensure the Royals are in the CWSHL next season.
The initial reports about the emergency meeting are that it was positive. Individuals and Booster Club personnel are now working on putting in place a required, new "leadership group". That goal is urgent and a clearer answer on what will happen to the Royals going forward is expected very soon. Time is of the essence, as one attendee reported.
The reaction to the recent developments in Corner Brook by the other three teams in the Central West Senior Hockey League was one of all team representatives being most encouraged. All three teams would prefer and desire that a four team League happen for this fall, rather than a three team circuit.
Getting clear stability on the state of affairs for the League is essential for all teams, particularly for the task of maintaiing player relationships and committment, and specifically each team's designated current "Protected Lists", so central to any senior hockey League's operations, governed and regulated by Hockey NL rules of conduct between senior Leagues in the province.

The Red Rose Girls: An Uncommon Story of Art and Love
A beautiful art book and a richly illustrated biography, The Red Rose Girls is the story of three remarkable women artists--Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley--who captivated early-twentieth-century society with their brilliant careers and bohemian lifestyle. Nicknamed by their mentor, the famous illustrator Howard Pyle, The Red Rose Girls liv ...more

Shelves: non-fiction, art
When I first learned about the publication of this book, my initial reaction was keen disappointment. I had, to a small degree, researched the lives of early 20th century illustrators Elizabeth Shippen Green and Jessie Wilcox Smith, and was captivated by them. I knew that for many years they shared a home in an idyllic old house on Philadelphia's main line with a third artist, Violet Oakley, and a fourth friend, Harriet Cozzens, who did the gardening and managed the household. I was going to wri ...more

For a book about three painters, there were definitely not enough pictures. And the odd focus on whether they were lesbians or not, well---I appreciate historical context, but to keep referring to the issue over and over instead of talking about them as painters and their work was simply annoying. Add that to the fact that the author did not make it easy to keep track of which artist was which (pick a last name or a first name, not either/or) - it was just not as good as I wanted it to be. I enj ...more

I came across this book at the library and was instantly drawn to the aesthetic of the cover, and then I noted the familiar name Jessie Willcox Smith, and when I flipped it open to the page that mentioned that Violet measured the Red Rose Inn property not in acres but in poetry ("four sonnets to the woods"), and I was enchanted.

I was fascinated to learn more about Jessie Willcox Smith and her artist friends, Violet Oakley and Elizabeth Shippen Green who inhabited Red Rose Inn managed by thier friend Henrietta Cozens who had no career aspirations. Jessie was very successful and today best known for her monthly Good Housekeeping Covers for nearly 30 years and her illustrations for childrens books. One tribute to her was "nothing morbid or bitter ever came from her brush". Violet Oakley painted huge murals for the state h ...more

Beautiful picture book and bio. of turn of the century illustrators Jessie Wilcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley who set up household with Henrietta Cozens.
Their idyllic life ended with the marriage of Green. They were independent, brilliant artists whose lesbian relationships were not publicly recognized. Victorian society allowed young women to be effusively in love.

Other people are complaining that there's too much talk about whether or not the artists were lesbians, but I really felt like there wasn't all that much. I've known Jessie Willcox Smith's work but hadn't known about the others or the household they built, and found all of that fascinating. it's got me wondering whether we're the first lesbian family to live in our 110-year-old house!

The red rose girls were four early twentieth century women- two being successful illustrators of the time, one equally successful muralist and the fourth rose...the woman who took care of the home they all resided in. They swore allegiance to their arrangement for all time, which did last for many years. A wonderful story of community, collaboration, love and art!

I love everything about this book. I love the social history, women's history and art history. I even love the layout of the book. This is not a book for kindle, you need to savor the full color illustrations. Finally, I love the story. What amazing women and a sweet story of friendship and productive art careers.

This is the story of three artist. They were Jessie Wilcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green and Violet Oakley. These were artist that drew for Scribners, Colliers and Harpers magazines and other things in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I really enjoyed this book.

Shelves: lgbt, bios-memoir
A delightful, entertaining, educational book. I knew nothing about these 3 (4 counting the non-artist of the household) artists who lived together (likely, romantically) about 100 years ago, but sure did enjoy getting to know them.
Nov 30, 2008 Mary Harju rated it really liked it
This is one of the few books in print about Violet Oakley and her mural painting. The real boon of this book is the illustrations. Also covered is the art of Jesse Wilcox Smith and Elizabeth Shippen Green.

I have installed and customized the theme "Motion." the blog is available on http://www.indiaopengrandprix.com/
The sub-pages do not appear as drop down menus on the Main Nav Bar at the top. I did the following:
1. In the Header.php file, I changed the following
<?php wp_list_pages( 'depth=2&title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order' ); ?>
(changed Depth value from 1 to 2)
The Sub Pages now show up below the main Page on the Menu bar!
2. in the CSS I changed the CSS from:
#top #topmenu li ul {
display: block;
#top #topmenu li ul {
display: none;
The Sub menu now dissappears!
But I am unable to get the right code in the CSS to drop down the Menu when the mouseover happens on the Main nav.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks you in adavance!

ICC suspects Bashir could come back to SA
The ICC is suspicious that the South African government may well allow Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir back into the country.
The ICC is suspicious that the South African government may well allow Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir back into the country.
The principles that South Africa applies in arriving at its foreign policy decisions are not always clear.
Both the Pretoria high court and the International Criminal Court face a key test of credibility after al-Bashir's free passage.
The defence force rejected reports that South African National Defence Force troops in Darfur were threatened to prevent the arrest of Omar al-Bashir.
The whereabouts of Sudanese President Al-Bashir were still not known on Monday morning, more than 12 hours since the first report that he had left SA.
ICC Prosecutor says the UN Security Council made no effort to end the conflict in Sudan, making it difficult to investigate.
Omar al-Bashir has been named as a possible candidate for the presidential elections despite doubts he would stand again.
Meriam Ibrahim, whose death sentence was overturned after international outcry, has arrived with her husband and two children in Italy.
The Christian woman whose apostasy death sentence was overturned is doing well after the US embassy in Khartoum gave the family refuge.
Meriam Ibrahim has been rearrested with her husband and two children at Khartoum airport a day after the appeal court ordered her release.
Meriam Ibrahim, who was imprisoned for marrying a Christian and sentenced to 100 lashes and hanging for apostasy, has been released.
A Christian Sudanese woman sentenced to death for apostasy has given birth in jail, effectively giving her a two-year reprieve to nurse her child.
Gas-rich Qatar says it will contribute to the Darfur Development Strategy, which aims to help the war-devastated region become more self-reliant.
An activist said the event was denied despite President Omar al-Bashir's vow that freedoms should be respected.
The UN's World Food Programme says about 20 000 people have been displaced by fresh unrest in Sudan's Darfur region.
An Ethiopian teenager who says she was raped by seven men last August, now faces a possible sentence of death by stoning.
A report says state authorities have either turned a blind eye or colluded with perpetrators in the kidnapping and abuse of Eritrean refugees.
Civil war looms after rebels spurn a proposal to end the violence raging across South Sudan.
Thousands of African refugees have gone on strike against the Israeli government's "criminalisation" and "dehumanisation" of asylum seekers.
