Catalogue entry
T00653 The Monastery at Zagorsk c.1911
Inscribed in cyrillic 'K. Yuon' b.l.
Oil on wood, 12 7/8 x 5 7/8 (32.5 x 40.5)
Bequeathed by Peter Provatoroff 1964
Prov: Peter Provatoroff, London (acquired in Russia c.1928-30)
The artist painted a number of pictures and studies of the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra (Monastery of the Trinity and St Sergius) from about 1903-23. The view from the south-east was a favourite one, which he painted at all seasons. This small picture is very similar to a larger painting 70.5 x 90cm in the National Russian Museum in Leningrad known as 'Spring. Troitse-Sergieva Lavra', which is said to have been painted in 1911 (repr. N. Tret'yakov, Konstantin Fedorovich Yuon, Moscow 1957, p.148). The other picture also shows the scene under snow but is viewed from a few yards further back and is slightly wider in format, so that it includes a little more of the buildings on the left. Nothing in the two works corresponds exactly, but they are so alike in general appearance (even with the same theme of birds in flight) that they would seem to have been done within a short time of one another.
The monastery, one of the richest and most strongly fortified in Russia, is situated about forty miles north-north-east of Moscow and was founded by St Sergius of Radonezh (1314-92). It was burnt down by the Tartars in 1408 and rebuilt soon afterwards with subsequent additions. The view shows the eighteenth-century belfry and the sixteenth-century cathedral of the Dormition on the left, and the surrounding walls and fortified towers. The town which sprang up round the monastery was renamed Zagorsk after the Revolution.

Skip to comments.New York lockdown [Long, with details of riot plans]
Posted on 08/11/2004 6:46:35 PM PDT by aculeus
While anti-Bush activists in New York are adopting new techniques to try and disrupt the Republican party convention later this month, the police have got some new strategies of their own, writes Michelle Goldberg
If you're a delegate attending the Republican national convention at Madison Square Garden later this month, Jamie Moran knows where you're staying. He knows where you're eating and what Broadway musical you plan on seeing. For the past nine months, Moran has been living off savings earned as an office manager at a nonprofit and working full-time to disrupt the RNC.
His small anarchist collective, RNCNotWelcome.org, runs a snitch line and an email account where disgruntled employees of New York hotels, the Garden and the Republican party itself can pass on information about conventioneers. So far, the collective has received dozens of phone calls and hundreds of emails with inside dirt on GOP activities.
Recently, a woman with a polished, middle-aged sounding voice left a message saying, "For some God-unknown reason I'm on the Republican mailing list, and they sent me what they call a list of their inner-circle events." The events hadn't been publicised elsewhere, she said, and she wanted to fax the list to Moran.
Moran feeds information like this to a cadre of activists desperate to unleash four years' worth of anger at the Bush administration. By dogging the delegates wherever they go, RNC Not Welcome hopes to make the Republicans' lives hell for as long as they're in New York.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Head's up.
Yea, that'll play well in the midwest.
I guess Al Qaeda is one of his "affinity models", sounds like it to me.
The Social War is coming. Will it start this month????
What a scumbag
It truly shows how self-absorbed this group is. And also how well organized this has become. These are professional protestors with little to no concern for laws, property or life in their anarchistic pursuits.
Also, this prompts a question.
Hey LEO's...R.I.C.O. statutes?
This was used in the infamous Chicago 7 trials. Crossing state lines with intent to engage in criminal acts.
I wonder what kind of surprise GB has for us. He seems to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.
I wonder if he's the same "Jamie Moran" who ran a workshop on "Advanced Issues in Gay Male Dating" last May?
'chaining their arms together inside metal tubes, creating what's called a sleeping dragon. "You lock your arms in," he says. "When the cops come, they have to saw through these steel tubes. You get 30 people and you lock down a street for six hours.'
yeah, that will work. 'oooh, it's a dragon! better hit it with this taser! ooohhh, water hoses make dragons roll down the street..."
what kind of crazy people do things like this?
it's not as thought there were a draft that was going to snark them away to VN, and you would think they would rather protest against the terrorists that killed 3000 people than the President that tries to protect them...
The anarchists' rights DO NOT trump the Republicans and they are against our constitutional form of government. They hide behind the same Constitution that they seek to overthrow.
"Wild Eye For That Kerry Guy"
RNC delegate ping.
Yes. I read it earlier.
How we are ever going to get from point A to point B with all these breakfasts, luncheons & receptions before and after the actual Delegate Sessions is way beyond me.
I checked out the anarchists' website (mentioned in the article). It was a bit disturbing -- tips on how to deal with tear gas and the like. They are trying to compile a list of the various RNC events in order to disrupt them. They also have a list of what Broadway shows the different delegations are attending and what hotels they are staying at. The shows and hotels are public information, but the focus on those things as opposed to the convention itself is indicative of the anarchists' lunacy and extremism.
I agree that we will need to plan extra time for transit to events. I'm just not sure we can guestimate the correct amount of time.
If these dim bulbs are rolling around in the street with all their arms welded together into steel pipes it's going to take longer to navigate the streets.
I spoke with someone this week and asked about walking from the hotel to MSG,, eventho my hotel is within walking distance they are strongly recommending against it.
I hope the Chamber of Commerce raises holy He!! because we can't make it to the stores to shop.
I read somewhere yesterday that the police and fire fighters are threatening to strike because they are unhappy with the offer made by the city for next year's salary package.
I somehow think I'm going to kiss the ground when I return to my corn field.
Hopefully the RNC will keep the delegates informed at the states' morning caucuses about how much time will needed to get from place to place. The Liberty Express will run to and from MSG no matter what, I'll bet. Most of the events are supposed to be within the secured perimeter. And you can be sure that any event outside the perimeter will be well-protected. My only concern is about the safety of doing non-convention touristy stuff during the week.
The cops could have a little fun with this - duct tape a lightbulb to the last guy in the chain, taser the first, see if the bulb lights.
"..chaining their arms together inside metal tubes, creating what's called a sleeping dragon"
There might be some sophistocated "tickle" machine that when applied to the belly forces one's arms forward, thus causing a giant "Three Stooges Moment"...
Or simply goose them around a lightpole with a taser to the butts, causing a large "rattlesnake" game to be played to the delight of the viewing public.

Arthritis Research UK
|This article does not cite any sources. (January 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Arthritis Research UK logo
|Chesterfield, Derbyshire
The organisation formerly known as Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC) is a British medical research charity dedicated to curing arthritis.
ARC, which had been founded originally as the Empire Rheumatism Council in 1936, changed its name to Arthritis Research UK [1] in 2010 as part of a drive to raise the profile of Arthritis research and the organisation itself. It has also reduced the potential for confusion with a plethora of other charitable groups using the 'arc' initials.
About Arthritis Research UK[edit]
Arthritis Research UK is a United Kingdom based Charity, campaigning and working in the fight against arthritis. Arthritis Research UK was founded in 1936.
Dr Stewart Adams, discoverer of Ibuprofen, opened Arthritis Research UK Pain Centre. The centre, which is based in Nottingham, aims to understand pain and to come up with more effective ways of dealing with it.
Research has shown that 10 million people in the UK are affected by arthritis. Arthritis Research UK is working to help them to remain active by funding research, campaigning and providing information for patients, the public and health professionals.
Arthritis Research UK's vision is a future free from arthritis.
Arthritis Research UK Mission Statement[edit]
Arthritis Research UK's mission statement is to reduce the pain and disability resulting from arthritis by:
- Funding research into the cause, treatment and cure of arthritis and translating the results of that research to benefit patients
- Educating and informing the general public, patients and health professionals on all aspects of arthritis
- Campaigning for treatment and support for all those living with arthritis
- Working in partnership with others to make a greater difference for people with arthritis.
Arthritis Research[edit]
The Arthritis Research UK research committee considers around 400 applications for funding per year. The medical research provides answers about the causes of arthritis, effective treatment, and ultimately the cure for all arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions.
Arthritis Research UK has been awarded for:
- Developing anti-TNF therapy for rheumatoid arthritis beyond existing treatments
- Identifying the genes linked to the disease in patients with osteoarthritis
- Developing longer-lasting and durable prostheses, and researching the causes, effects and treatments of infections in joint replacements
- Improving the treatment of brittle bone disease in children
- Developing tissue engineering techniques in osteoarthritis by using patients' own cartilage
- Looking at ways of better targeting drug treatment in arthritis in children and teenagers
- Examining the role of therapies such as acupuncture and yoga, on osteoarthritis and back pain

Talent Management Online SummitCreating the Next Generation of Excellence Through Innovative Talent Management Strategies
Dear Colleagues:
2013 is a critical year for HR and Talent professionals!
With the recent changes in the economy, the issue of retaining and engaging top talent will be at the forefront.
Talent Management professionals are continuously challenged, even more so in 2013 as new immigration reform processes and provisions to the Affordable Care Act have created additional talent shortages.
As if legislation hasn't already put pressure on executives, talent professionals have additional fires to extinguish as they battle keeping on pace with the technological changes affecting workforce management, bridging the knowledge gap as baby boomers retire and retaining top talent in light of a more increased job market.
Regardless, executives are tasked with increasing demands to drive organizational performance. But how are these efforts affecting talent? As talent becomes increasingly disengaged, the health of any organization declines as well.
In a state of economic volatility, organizations cannot afford to jeopardize losing their high performers.
If organizations take the appropriate measures to strategically implement initiatives to attract, retain and engage employees the rewards will be substantial. Productivity will soar, thus increasing organizational financial performance and generating a return on investment.

But why do people stay or leave? How can employers motivate people to stay longer? When you bring on new employees, it's important to remember the message you're communicating to them about their value to the company and its culture and remember that, leadership drives the talent culture.Speaker:

Xhosa Calendar
The Xhosa months of the year are poetically named after stars and seasonal plants of Southern Africa.
The Xhosa year traditionally began in June and ended in May, when Canopus, the brightest star visible in the Southern Hemisphere, signalled the time for harvesting.
In urban areas today, anglicised versions of the months are used, especially by the younger generation. But in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape – the old names still stand.
The Shifting Stars
While some cultures used equinoxes and solstices as their main calendar markers, some used helical rises of stars. It seems that all cultures knew about both, its just that one particular marker was used more than others were. For example, the Greek and Roman cultures used the spring equinox as the start of their new year, while the New Zealand Māori used the helical rise of the Pleiades, known to them as Matariki. (Ed. As did the indigenous people in Southern Africa, who called the Pleiades iSilimela)

Winter - Looking out through the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy we see Orion the Hunter chasing Taurus the Bull. On Orion's shoulder we see Betelgeuse, a red giant dying star that is expanding out before it collapses. In Orion's belt is the Orion Nebula, and the nearby Horsehead nebula where stars are being created by gravity from dust and gasses. On Taurus's shoulder is the Pleiades (also called Subaru or Seven Sisters) a young cluster of stars.

French Dragees

French Dragees
Candied Almond Party Favors
You might receive a small package of French dragees (correctly spelt with an accent, dragées) as a party favor if you attend a wedding, christening, or first communion celebration in France.
These hard, smooth, candy-coated almonds, which you may know as Jordan almonds, have been popular at French celebrations for hundreds of years. They are given to guests in a wish for good health, abundance, happiness, and fertility.
The First Dragees
It is said that more than 2000 years ago, a certain Julius Dragatus, a celebrated Roman candy maker, was the first to have dipped almonds in honey, an important first step in the creation of the modern day dragée.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, dragées, which at the time designated a variety of candied fruits and spices, were offered to guests at the end of a meal and were considered to help digestion and freshen the breath.
Verdun, Dragee CapitalThe city of Verdun, in the Lorraine region in the east of France, has been famous for its production of dragées for hundreds of years. It is here that a 13th century druggist, looking for a way to preserve the almonds that he used, had the idea to dip them in cooked sugar and honey. These French dragees, in addition to being good for digestion and freshening the breath, were said to help prevent sterility and thus they became popular at family events such as marriages and baptisms.
Modern Production
These days French dragees are carefully made according to a specific, detailed method. The almonds are first roasted lightly to make them more crunchy and the sugar coating is added in several layers. The candy is then smoothed to obtain the flawless surface that characterizes a dragée.
You can now find all sorts of variations on the traditional almond dragée:

Trope Namer for:

- Magnum Opus Dissonance: At The Cavalier Years in Spain, money was found in Theater, and glory was found in Poetry. When Cervantes wrote a comedy book he didn't know he was creating the first modern novel, and the book didn't get noticed by the critics. Nonetheless, it was successful enough for the editor to keep asking for a sequel because Money, Dear Boy. But Cervantes had Attention Deficit Creator Disorder and wanted to write a lot of projects that would bring him glory, like Los trabajos de Persiles y Segismunda. No one took the comedy book seriously, least of all Cervantes himself. Maybe that continuation would have never seen the light of day if not for Avellaneda's fanfiction: a Fix Fic, because Avellaneda thought Cervantes wrote some characters deserving of a better writer. Cervantes decided to write the best second part he could and considered Don Quixote a work that would survive centuries.
- Write What You Know: The tale of Ruy Pérez de Viedma, a Spanish soldier who was captured by the Turks and Made a Slave aboard one of their galleys, is probably based on the author's own experiences.

STINNETT - Casey Dawson threw two touchdown passes and three other Comanches each had at least two touchdowns apiece as West Texas High (2-7, 1-3) blasted Boys Ranch (2-7, 0-4) for its first District 5-2A win here Friday night.
Derek Manasco scored on touchdown runs of 16 and 20 yards, Brandon Snider caught both of Dawson's touchdown passes and Jacob Childress turned in a dominant rushing performance as he scored three times and rushed for 131 yards.

The Comanches dominated the stat sheet as well as the scoreboard, as they outgained the Roughriders 491-142 in total offense. Of those yards, 458 were on the ground as the West Texas running backs ran at will against the Boys Ranch defense.
The Roughriders' only points came on a 6-yard touchdown pass from Bo'don Wilson to Tanner Jobe in the first quarter and on a 4-yard scamper by Wilson in the third.

Skip to comments.Creepy old man comes up 2 you and your 5 yr old & starts talking to kid ignoring u, what do you do?
Posted on 09/02/2009 9:04:57 PM PDT by steve0
This is the heart of the matter. 48 year old male, accosts you and your five year old out in public. Starts talking directly to your child while ignoring you. What would be your reaction. Its historic for you as its never happened before.
He might be a totally nice guy. Or he might take your child captive for 19 years. But all things considered, I think it's worth the risk. I'm being sarcastic I think you should've told him to take a hike.
You stand between the old man and your child and politely, forcefully, tell him to back the hell up before he gets an education.
I think you might have missed the point of the post.
She can't. He's still got another 3.5 years in office...
Creepy OLD man at the age of 48???? I resent that. I'm more than 48 and I'm NOT old. However, in Obama's case, and considering his attempt at indoctrimation next Tuesday, Creepy does fit nicely.
I'm not old either, thank you very much.
I am a little creepy but I am working on it.
You should have stopped me at the dinner roll.
This guy.
Remove the child from the area until the creep is gone.
u txt hm?
I'd kick him in the balls then run like hell with child in hand. No creep is going to get my child.
Next, step back a few steps, then hold your ground. DO NOT turn away. STARE HIM DOWN. Make him retreat.
If he doesn't leave continue making a commotion. Let everyone know he's a creep.
After the confrontation, go about the store for awhile. 10-15 minutes or longer. Do your shopping. Calm yourself down
When leaving keep your senses ALERT.
2 words 4 u
concealed carry
If he gets too pushy we will tell him go GO AWAY !!.
If he does not GO AWAY we will FORCE him to do so.
You cannot let yourself or your family to fall in line with someone just because it's the nice or the unconfrontational thing to do.
You and the Zman better read the post again and take your time, especially looking at the art work on his comment.
The best protection is being direct. Child molesters know the law, know the score, know where every parent is on the playground. They run like cockroaches when confronted. Just ask the question..."do you have a criminal record for child molestation?"
It is amazing how many people read your post and just didn't get it. I guess that is one reason we are in trouble as a country, people just don't pay attention.
No I got it, and meant my original post, in the same meme as the OP.
I would start with some words that would get anyone's attention. Didn't work?
Walk off with my kid. Follows me and my kid?
Keep on walking
I too think you missed the point of the post. /s/s/s/s
No, he is a faux President trying to indoctrinate out children, he tried once with a video shown in some of our schools and next tuesday he is going to broadcast directly to schools that allow it, there was no warning, no alert to parents. Read the post again, carefully:)
creepy old guy is potentially abducting my child? considering i'm 6'2", it'd be difficult to imagine. but if it did happen...
let's just say, he wouldn't be a threat anymore
abstract logic
what is real vs. what's for sale.
does everybody really have a price ?
You say, "Hey Creepy Man, if you want to say anything, you say it to me first. Understand?"
A Country Boy Can Survive
I use brute force when anybody gets in between me and my daughter for what ever reasons, especially with that scenario.
You have one warning, you ignore it, you will eat dirt, pronto. Want to be a wise guy, it is up to you...
But, you knew this evil, creepy man would be talking to your children days aheadd of time. You can prevent them from going to normal indoctrination camp for this new Super High Intensivity Training (S#IT) planned to be shoved down your children's throats. Yum!
Thanks. re-read the post.
"Child of my loins, we do not listen to foreigners. They know nothing of our ways. The American."
"God, Guts and Glory"
They know nothing about:
Self Determination
The Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
Personal Responsibility
Son/Daughter do not listen to anyone who is not an American. I say this not of arrogance but out of love.
Love for God, Love for you(my family), love of country and love of self.
I will teach what is important and you will decide the order of importance.
You will never listen to anyone of no importance and that includes the Present of the United States.
Why? Most have never lived any of the ways they want you to live. In fact, most of mindless palaver they spought has never, in all of humanity, ever, ever worked. Not in this lifetime and not ever.
Most people like the vaccuous, gas bag, have even balanced their own check book, much less run a business.
Why should you listen them or him?
What are their accomplishments?
How do you their accomplishments?
Without proof of their identity and accomplishments, how and why would you blindly follow them?
Are you aware that many people like this, exist solely to undercut your identity, will, and goals? Why would you listen to someone like that? What is the value? Will your life be measurable and demonstrably improved through their supposed leadership and advice?
Would you listen to man who says "I am my brothers keeper" as it is written in the bible.
Are you aware the bible never mentions in the first person or commands you to become your brothers keeper?
Because as Cain killed Able, God called to him asking "here is Able, so I might speak with him>"
What was Cain's response?
Why Father "Am I my brother's keeper?".
What about a person would claim scripture, of Christians, when has said repeatedly, "We are not a Christian Nation", What about a person like that would make his opinionn important.
Clearly, he is proven to contort and stretch a scripture text, that has no meaning or relevance to what he is telling you.
Would you take advice from someone who cannot or will not prove his identity and background?
Why should you?
I agree he is creepy, but 48 is just a kid, not old!!!
I do, and obviously you do.
I can back up my swagger. And If I can't, I'll take my licks.
Most people can't.
Sir, I need you to stop talking to my child.
I do not allow my child to talk to strangers I have not invited him to talk with.
Stop now and please step away from us.
Repeat, if needed.
Prior to repeating the 3rd time, add:
I am going to repeat myself a 3rd time. If you do not follow my request, I will call security.
Well whether this happened in public or in the classroom my child would have been removed from the situation.
60 60 842
And I am waiting for you.
We are the "Security." Well on the other hand it is a government school. Anything you got to say to my kid, you say it to me first.
Unfortunately, the 21st Century man is a wimp, by my standards! Real MAN is hard to find now a days!
One thing is for sure...don't mess with my family, one way or another, 'cause hell is coming your way!
Luckily you have the luxury of time to plan for the creep accosting your kid. It's too bad the "fishy" email line is down.
OK he's a punk kid with a sense of entitlement because all his life he's been encouraged to bother other people.
The hell I would'nt be impolite.First off the bastard would'nt get near enough to my kid to say boo to him.Thats a promise.
Tell the guy loud and clear for all to hear that his unwelcome approaching your child has just convinced you to start immediately to home school your child and that the first lesson the kid needs to learn is to avoid creepy, uninvited men.
Interesting. Very cogent spin or heightened reality.
In an exercise of not subtle intimidation, public and private school teachers during the fall 2008 campaign were asking little kids across America how their parents were going to vote and then holding mock elections in classroom asking how the kids would vote if they could. Wonder of wonders, who do you think won the classroom elections?
Fireside chats directly to the kiddies are among other things advance campaiging for next time. This is a far cry from passing through town in a motorcade. Instant telecommunications is a double edged sword. Good God! Who would want this Marxist stranger's messages imprinted on their child's brain.
Get really impolite with him and put yourself between him and your child.
Just checking -- You are working on getting less creepy rather than getting a lot creepy, right? :=)

Style … Surfer Espadrilles in Shop Window … Nolita, New York
We spotted these espadrilles with embroidered images of surfers in the display window at Cote A Coast, a small clothing shop on Mulberry Street in Nolita, in downtown New York City. The linen footwear is by Denim Sky.
"Can't Steal Our Vibe" Sign at Lone Wolfs (sic) Surf Shop … Venice, Los Angeles
We love this … The Lone Wolfs (sic) surf shop on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice, in Los Angeles, was recently robbed. The perpetrators smashed one of the shop's glass doors. The Lone Wolfs responded with this witty, spray-painted message on the plywood they put up to cover the broken door: "Can't steal our vibe."

Awesome New Hats and Hoodies at Saturdays … SoHo, New York
We're fans of Saturdays, the cafe-surf shop and clothing brand inspired by the surfing lifestyle. Its original flagship store is on Crosby Street in SoHo, where we recently paid a visit to pick up a gift during the recent holidays. We found some awesome new hoodie and hat designs (pictured below) and scooped up a floral-print flat cap and "Ditch Plains" hoodie with "SATURDAYS" serif-font logotype design.
Style … Our Favorite Old Acne T-Shirt
Eventually every favorite old shirt reaches a point of wear and tear that signals it's time to throw it out. Such was this case this past week with this light pink "Pop Classics" t-shirt by Swedish clothing brand Acne Studios, pictured below. We had been wearing the tee regularly ever since we purchased it at the Opening Ceremony store in Los Angeles 4 1/2 years ago. The shirt had finally developed one hole too many.
We're big fans of Acne's clothing and we're sad to see this shirt go as it was the most comfortable, well-fitting and perfectly designed t-shirt we've owned. That says a lot given that the t-shirt, as global wardrobe staple and ubiquitous fashion commodity, is one of the most mass-produced items on the planet. One would think it would by now be difficult to improve upon. But this t-shirt had.

Architecture … Tadao Ando's 21_21 Design Sight Building in Akasaka, Tokyo
The sleek, low-slung gray structure that is the 21_21 Design Sight building in Tokyo's Akasaka neighborhood was created by two giants of Japanese design, fashion designer Issey Miyake and architect Tadao Ando. Opened in 2007, the building is the home to design exhibitions and events curated by a group of directors that includes Miyake and renowned designer Naoto Fukusawa. The museum is a little oasis of calm, minimalist post-modernism tucked on a well-groomed patch of landscape behind the Tokyo Midtown buildings complex.
Style & Design … Window Display and Shopper at Rick Owens Tokyo Store
Prada Building in Aoyama, Tokyo
Global Graphica in Tokyo …
We're in Tokyo this week and as those of you who follow us on Twitter and Instagram may have already seen, we've been posting some pix from the Japanese capital literally from the moment we stepped off the plane (see below). It's good to be back in Tokyo, one of our favorite cities and a source of much inspiration in terms of great design, creativity, urban living and style. Plus there's all the amazing food. We'll be posting from Tokyo all this week as part of our "Tokyo 14 Project," so look for pix and updates here, as well as on Instagram and Twitter.
On the Street … Hot Pink Converse Sneakers l
We went gallery hopping in New York City on the weekend, which meant we did a lot of walking around the Lower East Side. This gave a member of our crew, Kay Dot, to break in some brand new Converse sneakers. Her Chuck's-styled kicks are in a shade of hot pink that is practically unmissable from 50 meters away.
Street Art … Portrait of Karl Lagerfeld and His Kitty, Mott Street, New York
One of artist Bradley Theodore's recent street art additions to the downtown New York CIty landscape is this diminutive full-body skeletal portrait of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld and his Birman cat Choupette. The iconic Lagerfeld, currently serving as creative director for Chanel, has made many public appearances with Choupette that the kitty herself has become something of a fashion icon. The painting can be found outside L'Asso, a pizza joint on Mott Street in Nolita, and continues Theodore's series of portraits depicting various celebrities from the fashion world.
Street Art … Homage to Classic Nike Air Jordan Sneakers, New York
This fresh wheatie street art piece by UnCuttArt (the artist a.k.a., "UnCasso") went up on a wall on Ludlow Street last night. It's inspired by Nike's classic Air Jordan high-top basketball sneaker and rendered across color bars in UnCasso's typical illustration style. The artist has in recent months been bombing much of lower Manhattan and Williamsburg, Brooklyn with images of Steve Jobs and a young Michael Jackson.

Prince William's Charming Choice to Take Leave
On the face of it, Prince William's decision to take two weeks of job-protected, paid statutory paternity leave is absurd.
The heir to the British throne can live without the approximately $206 a week in taxpayer funds that men in the U.K. are entitled to receive if they take time off to welcome a baby.
But as a symbolic gesture, the prince's choice is, as the Brits would say, brilliant. For in William's subtle, necessarily apolitical, good-guy way, he has issued the boldest possible statement of support for true workplace equality between men and women. It's a message that was too quickly buried amid all the baby-naming hysteria this week. And it's one that we in the U.S. need to hear if we're ever going to get past the place where women have been mired for the past decade.

Mercyhurst's Kimball, Gannon's Bennett, Nadler earn PSAC Fall Top 10 Award
Three area athletes -- Mercyhurst's Colin Kimball and Gannon's Robbie Bennett and Liam Nadler -- have been named Fall Top 10 Award recipients, as chosen by the PSAC.
The awards are presented to five male and five female athletes in each of the fall, winter and spring seasons, based on those who excel in the classroom and in athletic competition.
Kimball, a junior defensive back from Erie, tied for second on the team with 57 tackles and 40 solo stops. The McDowell product picked off six passes this year, tied for tops in the PSAC, and returned two of them for touchdowns. A graphic design major, he has a 3.962 grade-point average.
Bennett, a junior from Pinetown, South Africa, scored 14 goals and totaled 30 points for Gannon's soccer team, leading the conference in goals per match and ranking second in points per match. A two-time Academic All-American, Bennett carries a 3.952 GPA as a sport psychology major.
Nadler, a redshirt sophomore from Leipsic, Ohio, threw for 2,859 yards and 16 touchdowns a year after breaking the school record with 2,910 passing yards. He ranked third among PSAC quarterbacks in completions per game. A political science major, he holds a 3.903 GPA.

I came across a quote in a book I bought from B&N on my Nook Color and I wanted to share it with a friend. First, I tested the feature by "selecting" it, then I selected "share with contact" and used myself as the contact. Well, the Nook promptly mailed the quote I selected to my address and all seemed well, BUT...the quote that I got on the email was shorter by 50 words than the quote I had highlighted. I tried this several times and the same result each time -- somehow, the quote got shortened each time.
Is there some internal limit on how many words you can share with someone? This happened to be a single paragraph, not more than 1/4 a page, but the Nook kept truncating it.
I tried looking this up in the manual, but no mention of a word limitation except for quotes shared in Twitter, which I understand. But this was just an email.
What gives?
I've been meaning to ask about this as well. I tried sharing via FB and only got the first 38 characters of 67 highlighted in my Nook Color. I tried another time and got a truncated result so I shortened the highlight in NC and uploaded and got all 78 characters. I've not tried since then and that was probably 4 months ago.
Is there a limit?

E-Baller: a self-hating, negative, insecure, creepy, friend-lacking, person that grows "balls" on the internet that they do not have in real life in order to spend their sad life posting hateful comments about others to feel some level of importance.

Can you define these popular missing words?
a loser who goes on the Internet and makes hateful comments (racist, homophobic, etc.), but in reality, they don't have the balls to say the same comments to people's faces. It is said they grow e-balls.

A baller who reached baller status due to computer savvy, an idea requiring little money (ie Google's CEO) or a calculated risk in securing a loan or cash infusion for said idea based on having a proverbial ball already rolling, when the implicated loan was actually necessary to get the ball rolling in the first place.

A day to remember.
That was the sentiment at the American Legion's annual Memorial Day breakfast Monday morning. Post 30 held the program at their facility on Gillionville Road in honor of those who lost their lives in combat. After a ceremonial flag raising service, attendees were treated to breakfast and a brief program that focused on the remembrance of fallen comrades.
"They're the reason why we are free today," said Post 30 Public Affairs officer and veteran Nick Nicholson. "Forty-million have served since this country was founded and over one-and-a-half million have died."
"Memorial Day, for me, remembers all the people that didn't make it back - the ones who served with me, " said Ray Humphrey, commander of Post 30. "I had a lot of friends that went to Vietnam with me that didn't come back. This is an opportunity to remember them and all the other young men that gave their lives for our country...the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice."
After the program was adjourned, veterans then performed wreath-laying ceremonies at three locations in Albany including Veterans Park and outside of the courthouse in downtown Albany.

An Iranian friend of mine comments on the visit by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the United Nations General Assembly today, where he has once again been offered a platform by the Columbia International Relations Council and Association. That morally sophisticated group of young American ├йlites is тАШthrilled to have this opportunityтАЩ. тАШEveryone was really enthusiastic,тАЩ Tim Chan, student spokesman, is reported as saying.
A kind interpretation of CIRCAтАЩs motivation is that they believe in freedom of expression. But my Iranian friend says wittily тАШAhmadinejad does not express himself. He rants. He doesnтАЩt enjoy freedom. He takes it away.тАЩ
Ahmadinejad is the attack dog of the extremist Shiite theocracy that runs Iran. Dogs donтАЩt express themselves, they bare their teeth to frighten people.
And it is very frightening indeed. Right now this dog is fronting a massive wave of repression in Iran, affecting not just the usual suspects тАУ Bahais and Christians тАУ but all forms of religion not approved of by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, including sufi Muslims and even dervishes.
Jamsheed Choksy reports that Ayatollah Ahmed Jannati, chairman of the Council of Guardians and adviser to Ahmadinejad, has denounced non-Muslims as тАШanimals who roam the earth and engage in corruption.тАЩ
Amnesty International reports that, on September 3, members of the Basij militia gathered in Kavar armed with batons and chanting anti-dervish slogans, and set fire to stores displaying photos of dervish leaders. Subsequently, at least six people were shot and hospitalized. About 60 were arrested.
Zoroastrians are also under increasing pressure. Ayatollah Khomeini had a particular hatred of Zoroastrians because of their links to Persian history and nationalism. He accused the Shah of wanting to тАШrevive Zoroastrianism.тАЩ
Current Supreme Leader Khamenei continues in this vein, and has referred to them as kaffirs (infidels), a term usually reserved for IranтАЩs non-recognized religious groups
On August 2, according to Paul Marshall, Mohhsen Sadeghipour began serving a sentence of 4.5 years in prison, 74 lashes, and a fine for тАШanti-regime propaganda by propaganda for the Zoroastrian faith and organizing ancient ceremonies.тАЩ SadeghipourтАЩs brother in law, Pouria Shahpari, was arrested on August 22 for blasphemy, also because of тАШpropaganda for Zoroastrianism.тАЩ Pending appeal, he was sentenced to 2.5 years and 74 lashes. Sadeghipour and Shahpari were punished simply for defending and promoting their faith.
It goes without saying that Christians are at extreme risk. The Media Project reports that 34-year-old Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani from Rasht has been in prison since 2009 after protesting about religious education at the local school.
The secret police brought him before the political tribunal in Rasht, Iran, on October 12, 2009. At the time of his arrest, he was charged with protesting, and has been in prison in Lakan (which is seven miles south of Rasht) ever since. Later the charges were changed to apostasy and evangelism of Muslims.
Nadarkhani faces execution. The Iranian Supreme Court upheld the death sentence on June 27, 2011, for тАШreligious reasonsтАЩ.
He is between a rock and a hard place. The high court asked the local court in Gilan to re-examine the case to determine if he is truly a Muslim, and, if so, he must recant. If he does not, he will be executed. To help him recant his faith he has twice been taken to the gallows and shown the rope that he would hang from, according to a source in the region.
A hearing is scheduled for this Sunday, 25 September, and if the court finds that he was a practicing Muslim, Pastor NadarkhaniтАЩs death sentence will stand unless he agrees to renounce Christianity.
Lapido trustee, Arne Fjeldstad is following the story closely. He is concerned at the lack of attention from rights groups and the media: тАШThis story deserves attention by editors and journalists around the worldтАЩ.
New York dog pound may be a better place to receive Ahmadinejad than the UN General Assembly.

Since 2011, the status of the Abyei Region has remained one of the main unresolved issues between Sudan and South Sudan. In 2011, fighting between the Sudan People's Liberation Army and the Sudan Armed Forces in the Abyei Region escalated and resulted in the total destruction of the town of Abyei and surrounding villages. The fighting also led to the displacement of more than 100,000 people, and additional contamination from landmines and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). Tensions in the region continue to date. The United Nations responded to this with Security Council resolution 1990 (2011), establishing the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) and 4,200 Ethiopian peacekeepers were deployed to the Abyei Region.
In August 2011, four UNISFA peacekeepers were killed and seven others were injured in a landmine accident. In response to the threat, the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) contracted a clearance team to open priority routes. The work of this team dramatically expanded UNISFA's ability to patrol areas in the Abyei Region.
In December 2011, Security Council resolution 2024 (2011), expanded UNISFA's mandate to include support to the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism (JBVMM). UNMAS began planning operational support for the JBVMM teams that will be stationed along the 2,100 km border between Sudan and South Sudan. In addition, Security Council resolutions 2075, 2104, 2126, 2156, 2179, 2205, 2230, and 2251 expanded UNMAS role to include identification and clearance of landmines/ERW in the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone (SDBZ) to ensure the freedom of movement of the JBVMM as well as to support UNISFA in weapons and ammunition management (WAM).

Expected accomplishments:
Expected outputs:
Significant challenges to the programme include the political commitment of the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan in implementing the various Security Council resolutions relating to the JBVMM and the SDBZ.
The security situation in UNISFA Area of Responsibility is also another challenge, with incidents in the Abyei Area related to cattle rustling and armed attacks, to the fighting within South Sudan, and to the fighting in Kadugli town, as well as in Darfur and South Kordofan states. Furthermore, during the rainy season from June to the end of September of every year, demining operations are not possible due to poor road conditions.
UNISFA allocated US$25.4 million for the period 01 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 to support UNMAS activities and UNMAS is fully funded to 30 June 2016. Funding of US$20.3 million to cover activities for 01 July 2016 to 30 June 2017 was requested from UNISFA.
