Learn about the biological, chemical, physical and psychological world.
Science provides an empirical way of answering interesting and important questions about the biological, physical and technological world.
The study of Science aims to lay a solid foundation for the further study of Science in the disciplines of Biological, Physical, Chemical and the Earth and Space sciences. Developing curiosity about the sciences provides an empirical way of answering questions and develops understanding.
Key Study Areas
In year 7, the foundation of science is explored in the following areas of study: Introduction to science skills and report writing, chemical science – mixtures, earth and space, biological science – classification, physical science – motion.
Science in year 8 builds upon the foundations laid down in year 7 through these subjects: biological science – nature of cells, earth science – sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks, chemical science – states of matter, chemical science – the periodic table, physical science – energy.
In year 9, students begin to explore other aspects of the scientific world in the following subjects: body systems, energy and electricity, chemical reactions, ecosystems, earth and space science.
In year 10, students can specify their knowledge in the areas of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology.
Year 11 Science sees students expanding their knowledge of the core subjects studied in year 10: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and Laboratory Skills.
In year 12, Science students are able to complete their secondary schooling studies of the scientific disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology.
Why is life so diverse on earth? How did life evolve to be adapted to an environment? Why do sharks and dolphins look so alike if one is a fish and one is a mammal? How do genes affect the way an organism interacts with its environment? How have humans affected biodiversity via climate change and habitat destruction? Biology is the science of life, it all its beautiful, unusual and wonderful forms. Come join us with curiosity to understand how all living things are connected.
Students develop the language, ideas, skills and processes involved in chemistry, and begin to understand the link between atomic theory and the periodic table. Students will develop their understanding of chemical behaviour with respect to types of bonding and learn to calculate quantities of reactants and products of chemical reactions. Students conduct practical investigations and design their own investigation for their research project.
While you do not have to understand all aspects of physics to use many appliances, some knowledge can help you enjoy and appreciate these and the many other examples of the physical world. Physicists are accomplishing many exciting and extraordinary things this century and they have been able to make both experimental and theoretical advances at a seemingly increasing rate. As you go through this course you will relate as much as possible of the theory of physics to your everyday experience. If you have an interest in an occupation dealing in engineering, medical imaging, radiation therapist, surveyor, pilot, biophysicist and many other fields, physics is a prerequisite to these fields of study.
Why do Humans behave the way they do? What influences behaviour? Where do dreams come from? These are some of the BIG questions psychologists try to answer with research. In this course students will have the opportunity to conduct an Empirical Research Activity (ERA) and analyse the information. To successfully complete the subject, students must complete several assessed components including an ERA report, tests and an exam.
Laboratory Skills provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills associated with the day-to-day operation of a laboratory and associated technical tasks such as sampling and testing. Units 1&2 of the program include recording and presenting data, planning and conducting laboratory/field work, maintaining the laboratory fit for purpose, with electives such as performing basic tests and assisting with fieldwork included. Units 3&4 offer scored assessment and incorporate units such as performing aseptic techniques, contributing to the achievement of quality objectives, preparing working solutions and performing microscopic examinations.

A business law lawyer is a licensed professional with a different legal status and whose mission is to deal with companies. Its field of intervention is vast and mainly concerns advice and litigation. It controls national and international affairs.More informations : http://gardetto-monaco-lawyers.com/ . He is able to offer help, perform legal tests, etc. This legal practitioner is authorised to deal with cases involving: financial law, tax law, social law, real estate law, stock exchange law, industrial property law, etc. Business lawyers must hold a university degree in law enforcement and receive a certificate of qualification for the legal profession. To earn a living, the company's lawyer needs to master English and master his stress. This legal specialist may work, as an employee, in
The objective of criminal law
Criminal law aims to punish crimes and misdemeanours by imposing appropriate penalties. A criminal lawyer stands by the side of the accused who face the judicial system throughout its stages. The criminal lawyer pleads in front of the estimate in favour of his client. The investigation will forever focus on his complaint and it is the responsibility of his lawyer to present the situation from an angle that suggests his innocence. To this end, it will carefully examine each element of this levy and develop a vital approach to avoid miscarriage of justice. Judges and prosecutors also ask questions about hearing loss. The assistance of a criminal lawyer is fundamental to the establishment of a good defence strategy, so a criminal lawyer is a procedural specialist at the same time for a strategist who tries to change the opinion of justice and sometimes that of society through the media. Criminal law determines, through sanctions, what can and cannot be done. By safeguarding the guilty parties, the criminal lawyer will help from time to time to move the traces.
Legal aid
The public guardian in France will be the subject of several preconceived ideas: by their cost for their participation in your defense. Beware of preconceived ideas, "court-appointed" does not indicate that the lawyer intervenes free of charge. Indeed, at the very first appointment with the lawyer, the individual will have to determine with him or her the procedure and the number of his or her remuneration, which can be fixed on the basis of the earnings of the person concerned and is compensated by the client if he or she has the capacity to do so, or by the State if the income is insufficient and the individual is eligible for legal aid. Legal aid may be partial or total. In the case of full legal aid, you will not have to pay your lawyer's fees because they will be fully covered.

I had fun on the Fourth. I cooked for six hours. This is the result (not pictured, my beautiful deviled eggs, which I forgot to set out). Clockwise from top left: Mint limeade, green beans, ribs, fried corn (a.k.a. creamed corn), Aunt Weise's squash casserole, mashed potatoes (made from actual potatoes, of course), and blackberries from my parents' field.
All the recipes will be coming up, but I wanted to start with the green bean recipe that Nanny gave me when I called to find out the best way to fix the home-grown green beans that Moomer brought. Moomer and Daddy like cooking them with just a little water in the microwave, so they're still a wee bit crunchy [Charity's little Southern soul shudders in horror — no offense, Moomer].
I like the Southern style of green beans — cooked until they're squishy, with an [un]healthy amount of bacon and a lot of onion. Sure, it's not the most nutritious way to cook them, but I figure that eating them this way is better than not eating them at all. Don't you love my logic?
So I called Nanny. And here's what she does.
After you snap and wash your green beans, put them in a Corning Ware on the stove (if you're not fortunate enough to own one, go buy one — as soon as possible — at your local flea market. For now, you can use a little pan). Put some water in there — don't cover them, but put enough to keep them happy, and check them periodically to make sure they're not out of water. Salt and pepper them to tastes, add a nice handful of (frozen) chopped onions, and a couple spoonfuls of bacon grease (you must keep a small amount of bacon grease in your fridge. If you don't, I can't be friends with you). If you have it, add some cooked bacon or some leftover ham. Bring to a boil, and then turn to low and simmer for about two hours. Nanny recommended that I start them early (I started them at about 1:00), and let them cook for two hours, then turn off the heat and let them sit there covered until it was close to suppertime. ("They're always best leftover anyway — it lets the flavors blend," she said.) About thirty minutes before supper, I turned the stove back on and heated them. Then I tasted, added a little more salt and a little more grease, and all was blissful in green-bean-land.
This, of course, would be a very nice thing to cook the night before if you're going to be pressed for time.

Pit Prop
Hal Jons writing as Harry Graham
Originally published 7th January 1982 (see further information about the original publication)
Luther Lewis bestrides his pits like a colossus. He is feared and hated and grudges go deep. With many pits closed or on short time, Lewis' Bryn Ebbw collieries are working flat out. All it needs is a spark to cause chaos. Tom Morgan, union man, provides the spark, but it is Dai Crew, overflowing with hatred for Lewis, that strikes the fateful blow. The resultant calamity is quite unlike the popular conception of a mining disaster and many families become embroiled. Above ground the silence has a different quality than usual and some need no telling that they may never again see husbands or children.
It is soon known that Lewis is amongst the missing, which engenders many and varied feelings in those waiting to hear about loved ones. Whilst the task of digging out any survivors begins, the disaster provokes everyone – those safe above ground and those trapped in the mine – to start a process of soul searching. For some it is a wake–up call but others seem more than happy to find that they have no soul to search. Behind every face is a story – and behind some faces are ugly secrets that would do much better to stay hid.
Hal Jons, writing here as Harry Graham, went back to his childhood in Ebbw Vale and based much of this story about real happenings and real people - suitably anonymised so as to protect the guilty and innocent alike. Perhaps that's why this is one of Jons' best-loved books.
Channel Incident
Hal Jons writing as Harry Graham
Originally published 25th November 1982 (see further information about the original publication)
Captain Redford and his faithful bosun, Hoskins, ever belligerent where Nazis were concerned, began their war well before the official declaration after the fanatical crew of the stricken German boat, Alfeldt, committed an act of piracy by stealing the boat that rescued them. Things didn't look good, but this was the catalyst for Redford's meeting with fearless Polish flyer, Jan Radek. When their stolen Heinkel crashed in the sea, he and his men were rescued by the Nazi sailors in the mistaken assumption that they were saving their own.
There I was minding my own business, stuck on the beach at Dunkirk, when Redford and Hoskins came into my life. Redford decided to involve me in his personal war – and what a war it was – running the gauntlet of E–boats to transport Radek and his team of saboteurs to and from Nazi occupied France. Luck was bound to run out and it did. With our sturdy boat blown away from under us, we were left with no other choice but to go on the run in occupied territory. More than once I wished I was back at Dunkirk – but then I wouldn't have met Radek's daring and beautiful sister, Erica.
On its original publication, Channel Incident proved popular enough to be translated into several languages and was available in one version or another for over ten years.
Tabitha Miggins: Ship's Cat (On the Pill Ferry)
Mark Clinton Jones writing as Phillipa Perry
Tabitha Miggins is a special kind of heroine, possibly unique in the annals of literary fiction. Brave, furry, resolute, bushy-tailed, adventurous and bewhiskered, her hobbies include knitting and Milk Stout and she certainly does not let I dare wait upon I would.
Marvel to fur-raising adventures with pirates, smugglers and cannibals on the magical island of Brindle Holm - or relax in the snug of The Duke on the North Somerset bank of the River Avon in sleepiest Pill with friends both big and small. Tabitha's friends include the Ferry Captain, Willard the well-hard mallard, Nutter Slater, Clarence the cross-eyed badger, Whitebeard the pirate, Rat-a-Tat Ginger, Sticky Paws O'Grady and her childhood chum, Lavinia (better-known to many the world over as "here comes old tail-up-for-the-lads").
Amongst Tabitha's shortlist of mortal enemies (not counting an island-full of cannibal cats) are the Meider Bahnhof Group, the most violent trainspotters in the history of trainspotting, and the evil-minded Smuckle. Baddies don't come much badder! Well, they do, but this is supposed to be a children's book. Well, sort of. Apart from the dirty jokes, obviously. Well, it's for anyone with a bit of child in their make-up to be honest. That's right, it's for ogres!
Since this was published under the far more fluffy name of Philippa Perry, it has come to light that there is a more famous Philippa Perry out there with books to her name, so we've had to admit that this rather silly set of half-witted adventures is really the product of award-nominated author, Mark Jones. I mean, all the clues were there - who else would include Bristolian folk music, real ale, trainspotting, real ale, database administration and real ale in their stories?
Further Adventures of Tabitha Miggins: Ship's Cat on the Pill Ferry
Here we go; here's another set of half-witted adventures and reminiscences from that most furry of all heroines, Tabitha Miggins. She's still brave, furry, resolute, bushy-tailed, adventurous and bewhiskered and she certainly does not match "the cat i' the adage" (one for Shakespeare fans there).
In this (eminently bushy) tail, she manages to change the course of history thanks to a slight faux pas. It gets better, though, thanks to Tabitha going to have a chinwag with her future self, so as to find out how she saved the world from the radical, new history that she'd caused.
As it turns out, saving the world involves passing Warp speed and knitting at Weft speed, even though this means Tabitha knitting herself out of history altogether. Some days a cat just has to do what a cat has to do; that's what duty's all about.
If all this wasn't enough, Tabitha meets up again with the dastardly Smuckle and we find out how he managed to survive throwing himself in the sea whilst bound in heavy, iron chains back in the last book. We also get to find out how the decorating in his hideout on Lundy went.
And if that wasn't enough, there lots more knitting, not to mention gallons of Pill Brewery Milk Stout, and we even get to hear about Nutter Slater's not-so-secret life as leader of The Pill Morris, the most feared Morris Team in the civilized world...and let's just mention now that their 'Obby 'Oss is the stuff of nightmare - and it's no good just sticking your head under the covers; it knows where you are...and what you've done. Sleep tight, now, little ones, sleep tight.

Business challenge
With fierce competition for capital allocation and low oil prices, oil companies must reduce non-productive time to keep operations profitable.
In a first-of-a-kind trial, TOTAL is developing real-time Predictive Drilling Analytics capabilities with IBM® Analytics solutions—ushering in a new era of ultra-efficient, precision drilling.
Empowersengineers to predict complications that can cause NPT with greater accuracy
Millions of dollarssaved by understanding hidden risks and optimizing well delivery
Helpsa new generation of engineers follow in the footsteps of those before them
Business challenge story
Delivering a technical miracle
As crude oil prices fluctuate, and shale gas and renewable power encroach on market share in the energy sector, oil companies are eager to find new ways to reduce costs and increase margins. Increasing the productivity and profitability of their wells is crucial to meet these challenges.
To drive profitability, oil companies must reduce the costs of drilling wells, and aim to keep their wells running productively and efficiently for longer.
Maintaining consistent drilling and production on any oil well is a highly technical endeavor. The drilling and completion process is incredibly expensive, and the costs need to be recouped through production. Moreover, downhole conditions (temperatures and pressures) within a well increase the likelihood of encountering technical difficulties that can slow down the drilling process.
Joy Oyovwevotu, Lead Drilling Engineer at TOTAL, elaborates: "Time spent drilling and completing a well is very expensive and can be divided broadly into productive and non-productive time [NPT]. Some NPT can be avoided with sufficient warning and a good understanding of downhole environment and interactions."
"Stuck pipe" is a significant cause of NPT that could be preventable and occurs when a drill string or casing pipe can no longer be moved in a well as a result of mechanical issues, or due to difference between wellbore and formation pressure holding the string or casing against formation. Whilst some occurrences of stuck pipe are recoverable, others are not.
In some cases, stuck pipe may lead to the abandonment of a well-bore, which means re-drilling formations already drilled before the stuck pipe event, at a cost of millions. In other cases, the situation may be recoverable, but the cost implications can still be huge, impacting the profitability of the well. Stuck pipe can also lead to changes in the well architecture that can complicate how a well is completed and disrupt production from the well as well as increase maintenance later in the well's lifecycle.
Drilling engineers at TOTAL use their vast industry expertise to anticipate and mitigate the risks of stuck pipe alongside other engineering and geological challenges. However, even with extensive experience, engineers still run into drilling difficulties due to the challenging drilling conditions.
Oyovwevotu says: "To mitigate the risks in delivering a well, our engineers plan and monitor drilling operations using highly detailed physics-based models. However, these models are limited and can take a long time to produce and interpret, so the information they produce is often out of sync with a well's actual condition.
Physics based modelling can be time-consuming and difficult to deliver at a granular level in real-time whilst drilling often relies on long term trends that can mask smaller events that may lead to stuck-pipe and hence can offer limited insight into conditions that lead up to stuck-pipe.
As drilling continues, the conditions of the well change continuously both as a function of the rock being drilled at that moment and the borehole that has already been drilled. Modelling this with pure physics-based models is something the industry has attempted for many years with limited success.
"To address this challenge, we set out to invest in a hybrid model that could combine data from the physical model of a well with a statistical model that can ingest large volumes of real time data about the condition of a particular well," says Oyovwevotu. "If successful, this hybrid approach could help us gain clearer insights into the current state of a well and how it may change in the future."
Additionally, with an aging workforce, it is more important than ever for TOTAL to bring new engineers up to speed and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to manage successful drilling operations.
Oyovwevotu comments: "Drilling rigs are highly complex pieces of equipment, and it is impossible for the human eye to monitor all of the rig's sensors and interpret them while drilling in real time. As a result, much of a driller's knowledge about drilling is not based purely on sensor readings, but also on their personal experience and a feel for interpreting contextual conditions and information. This kind of experiential knowledge is tacit, almost impossible to record or pass on to the next generation—which is where the predictive drilling solution comes in."
By using technology to monitor and interpret sensor readings in real time and provide decision support for its drilling engineers, TOTAL would be able to reduce NPT and empower future generations of hydrocarbon explorers to operate successful, productive rigs.
" When you consider that NPT can cost oil companies millions of dollars in lost revenue, our Predictive Drilling Analytics solution could dramatically increase the profitability of extracting oil by helping to avoid NPT in the drilling phase. "
— Joy Oyovwevotu, Lead Drilling Engineer, TOTAL
Transformation Story
Drilling down into data
To revolutionize the efficiency of drilling, a team of TOTAL engineers joined forces with IBM technology experts to develop a Predictive Drilling Analytics application.
TOTAL's development project is unlike any other, bringing together the combined power of statistical modeling and traditional physics-based models to help engineers predict events that can cause NPT.
Oyovwevotu explains: "In this project we built a model that amalgamates statistical data with the knowledge and experience of veteran engineers and data from physics-based modeling. By capturing the expertise of engineers in the model, we aim to build upon their experience and fill in gaps in our knowledge and understanding using statistical modeling."
TOTAL selected IBM as its technology partner for this project, and set to work building statistical models of its drilling operation utilizing tools from the IBM Watson® Studio (previously known as IBM Data Science Experience) platform, which is hosted on the IBM Cloud™.
Oyovwevotu says: "Our engineers were understandably skeptical about this project, as they have built up extensive experience managing the risk of drilling wells for decades and were not sure if Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help them anticipate and manage downhole problems better than they could themselves. Because of this, we were cautious to ensure that we reduced the risk of the project not working. One of the ways we did this was to adopt an iterated, agile approach to development."
TOTAL's choice of technology for its Predictive Drilling Analytics project also helped keep risk to a minimum. Oyovwevotu adds: "One of the fantastic things about the IBM Cloud is that we didn't have to make a large up-front investment in infrastructure, we could simply spin up a development environment that matched our needs. This helped us to keep costs low while providing excellent scalability."
Each well and well-section produces subtly different but numerically large amounts of fast-moving data, so TOTAL required infrastructure that was not only flexible and high-performing, but also cost-effective. With the IBM Cloud, TOTAL scaled capacity to match its data and processing needs—eliminating the expense of underutilized infrastructure and delivering excellent performance.
"Developing in the IBM Cloud also helped us to kick-start the Predictive Drilling Analytics project," continues Oyovwevotu. "One of our initial challenges was how we could monitor a well without changing anything on the rig, especially in the context of this first-of-a-kind project. The IBM Cloud solved this problem, because it removed the need for us to install IT infrastructure on the rig itself. We could get our project up and running easily with just the data itself, an internet connection and a web browser."
Oyovwevotu reflects on TOTAL's partnership with IBM: "Working with IBM on this project was a great experience. Not only did the IBM team provide cutting-edge technology and analytics expertise, they also recognized the impact that Predictive Drilling Analytics could have on the oil industry and brought a genuine ambition to make a real difference with the project."
" We look forward to developing our Predictive Drilling Analytics solution even further with IBM and we are eager to help the industry harness the transformative potential that this technology has to offer. "
— Joy Oyovwevotu, Lead Drilling Engineer, TOTAL
Results story
Beckoning a new era of precision drilling
To date, TOTAL has successfully tested its Predictive Drilling Analytics solution on two different wells. Already, the company can see that its solution holds the potential to revolutionize the way wells are drilled, by enabling oil companies to achieve millions of dollars in efficiency savings.
Oyovwevotu says: "In the first trial we only had a very small window of opportunity to prove whether the Predictive Drilling Analytics solution actually worked. Even on the first well we were able to establish evidence that the model can help engineers predict stuck pipe and other events that cause non-productive time.
"What's more, the second well on which we tested the Predictive Drilling Analytics application was quite different. We were initially unsure how well the model would work with a different well design, but we were pleased to see that the model's machine learning algorithms could easily and successfully adapt and generate positive results."
IBM has agreed to continue training and refining the Predictive Drilling Analytics solution. Once the model is in production, TOTAL anticipates that it could help oil companies significantly reduce NPT.
"If engineers can predict and avert events that lead to NPT, oil companies can keep their well costs down in this new challenging era. When you consider that NPT can increase well cost by millions of dollars, our Predictive Drilling Analytics solution could dramatically increase the profitability of extracting oil by helping to avoid NPT in the drilling phase."
Equally, as the expertise of industry veterans is built into the Predictive Drilling Analytics solution, it can help address the challenge of an aging workforce. This empowers new entrants to the sector to draw upon the collective wisdom and historical insights of their predecessors, and to continue their legacy of drilling safe, efficient and profitable wells.
Oyovwevotu concludes: "We look forward to developing our Predictive Drilling Analytics solution even further with IBM and we are eager to harness the transformative potential that this technology has to offer."

First Meeting of Dáil Éireann 1919
In the aftermath of the Easter Rising of 1916 Sinn Féin, the party founded by Arthur Griffith in 1905, was reorganised and grew into a nation-wide movement. Abstention from Westminster and the establishment of a separate and independent Irish parliament had long been part of Sinn Féin's policy. The party contested the 14 December 1918 general election, called following the dissolution of the British Parliament, and swept the country winning 73 of the 105 Irish seats. Acting on the pledge not to sit in the Westminster parliament, but instead to set up an Irish legislative assembly, 28 of the newly-elected Sinn Féin representatives met and constituted themselves as the first Dáil Éireann. The remaining Sinn Féin representatives were either in prison or unable to attend for other reasons.
This first meeting of Dáil Éireann on 21st January 1919 was held in the Round Room of the Mansion House. Unlike the normal picture which depicts the first Dáil this photo shows the true first assembly. Éamon de Valera and Arthur Griffith were both in jail on January 21st and Michael Collins, much sought by British Forces together with Harry Boland were busy preparing plans for the successful escape of Éamon de Valera from Lincoln Gaol.

In an era when opera's standard repertory has coalesced around a few famous composers -- Verdi, Puccini, Mozart, Wagner, and a handful of others -- it is the stage productions that differentiate one Traviata or Boheme or Carmen from another. Name directors like Robert Wilson, Peter Sellars or Francesca Zambello top theater marquees in new and old works, each with his or her own signature style. Yet far less is known by the public of the art of stagecraft and how it has evolved over time than of the works and vocal stars of opera.
The current emphasis on staging is what makes important and timely the arrival of Evan Baker's new single-volume survey of four centuries of European opera production: From the Score to the Stage: An Illustrated History of Continental Opera Production and Staging (University of Chicago Press, 2013).
In this large, richly illustrated book (pictured above), written in lucid and accessible prose, Baker, a former dramaturge and stage director himself, lifts the veil from behind the scenes of opera. He traces the long journey of stage production from the genre's origins in seventeenth century Italy, where arias strung together to tell a story were melded into the grand public events of ducal courts, to the lavish nineteenth century spectacles of the Paris Opéra, and on to the next century's pared down post-war abstractions. Baker wraps up the survey in 1976, when the most ambitious operatic project in history, Richard Wagner's Ring cycle, was given a celebrated modern staging by director Patrice Chéreau for the centennial of the work's premiere at Bayreuth. While Baker considers in his epilogue the current era of Regietheater ("director's theater" innovated in Germany), he leaves for another day the definitive study of its still evolving vogue.
From the Score to the Stage focuses on Continental Europe's three most important operatic traditions: those of Italy, France and Austria/Germany, with occasional reference to other European practices. Dividing his history into nine half-century chapters, Baker captures the flow of artistic and technical advances as they criss-crossed Europe. The introduction of gas lighting in 1822, for instance, heightened staging possibilities everywhere, making obsolescent the spare luminescence of candlelight. The electronic age further liberated light as a tool for emotional expression; suddenly, tinted hues could precisely and subtly project heightened psychological states.
Personalities known only as names today come alive in this survey: Italy's formative opera impresario Marco Faustini; the protean librettist and stage director Pietro Metastasio; the entrepreneurial Emanuel Schikaneder who revived Mozart's career with the libretto and stage direction for Die Zauberflöte; Italy's Domenico Barbaja who introduced roulette to finance opera; music publisher Giovanni Ricordi, who promoted Rossini and Donizetti; his grandson Giulio Ricordi who encouraged Verdi to write Otello and Falstaff; and two game-changing early modernists: Alfred Roller, the Secessionist set designer, and Max Reinhardt, the stage director who transformed opera acting.
(The illustration immediately above is an 1815 design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel for a production of Die Zauberflöte about two decades after the work's premiere. A modern version of the production, revived in Berlin twenty years ago, is pictured at the top of the page.)
Stage innovations add novelty to opera productions. The reader will discover how the brothers Galliari incorporated "practicals" (three-dimensional elements like steps and stairs) in mythological settings; how trap doors were used in Meyerbeer's Robert Le Diable and later Gounod's Faust for fantastical effects, and how the stage of Alban Berg's Wozzeck matched its shocking music with expressionistic sets and lighting. Baker's own translations from German, French and Italian texts help clarify obscure meanings from source material for the stories.
One of the author's most interesting chapters deals with management at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus after the Second World War. During this period of austerity, Wieland Wagner (Richard's grandson) had taken over production and made a controversial decision to pare down traditional stage sets in favor of abstract lighting schemes (Die Walküre is pictured above). Audiences were initially shocked. Baker:
Wieland Wagner's visual aesthetics and psychological ideas influenced opera staging styles throughout Germany. His new style, now known as Neu-Bayreuth, signaled a complete break with the past. Wieland's interpretations provoked the audience into thinking for itself about the scenic and dramatic situations unfolding on the stage. His aesthetics required only minimal scenery and lighting as integral parts of his productions. His blocking of the singers freed them from the old idea that specific instances in the music dictated their movement, and stars who could not act had no place in his productions.
Anyone associated with the production and planning of opera, not to mention also audiences and students of theater and cinema, will want to own From the Score to the Stage, which, for its comprehensive scope and sheer panache, has no competitor. Whether read cover to cover or used as an easy-to-navigate reference on particular topics, it is the indispensable single-source guide to the opera stage.

Master Adam Sterner is a great instructor and very compassionate!!!
Tim Flynn
The teachers are really good at getting the kids involved in a fun way. My boys really enjoy their lessons as well as special events.
Jessica Cho
Master Adam has made a world of difference for our whole family, especially my 2 boys. We talk about the 5 tenets daily and how the boys strive to be the best they can be! We have only been attending a year and a half, but they have come so far. My oldest has become such a leader through his work with Master Adam!
Katherine Thompson Allen
They academy in Herndon has taught my son discipline and respect, besides that the teachers are amazing with the students and the class are very dynamic and fun !!!!
Cela Aguilar
The entire staff is incredible! My daughter has been going for a couple of years. When she started, her balance wasn't so hot and she wasn't very focused. Now she can perform incredible moves, is more polite, and is far more focused day to day. Can't thank them enough. Both of my children will be going here for a very long time.
Jym Bob
My 3 year old and 4 year old sons LOVE Sterner's Tae Kwon Do Academy. The teachers are wonderful--they challenge the kids to learn the tenets of TKD and (at least in the younger aged class) the basic blocks and kicks while also allowing them to be silly when appropriate and have lots of fun. They learn about focus, respect and earning advancement. We ADORE Miss Leslie, Miss Arba, Mr. Mark, Mr. Mayan (sp?) and Master Adam!!
Tara Stone
We have been with Sterner's TKD for a long time and my son truly enjoys the classes - Master Adam and Mister Mike and his staff provide a great experience. When we moved here we checked out at least seven places and this one was the best by far! If you are looking for a good TKD place in NoVA - this is it!
Dee Dietlind Kiewel Denecke
My youngest son has been going to Sterners Taekwondo in Herndon, VA for more than 3 years. It is a great after school program. My son always looks forward going to all his classes here. All of the staff are truly amazing and the program exceeded our expectation. Not to mention that they do have fun filled activities planned on days that public school is not open.
Noelle Sorilla Jesus
Amazing TKD school!! Master Adam has been so wonderful with both of my children. I can't say enough good things about the school, the program offered and the staff. Really, the best of the best!!

Attending industry events can bring a variety of benefits. They are useful for gaining new knowledge and continuing professional development, extending your professional network and identifying new business opportunities. In this post, we provide you with a carefully selected list of events related to machine translation that you wouldn't want to miss in 2019.
Women in Localization, London
Although this event already happened, it is most certainly worth mentioning. At the end of January, Women in Localization UK Chapter hosted an event in London focussing on machine translation.
Women in Localization is an international organisation with locally managed branches that aims to, as the name indicates, promote women in the language industry. Each of the events organised by this association has a specific theme relevant to the industry and can be attended by both men and women.
Machine translation was chosen as the theme for the January event from a variety of topics in an open poll, which demonstrated just how much interest this technology attracts. Not surprisingly, the event tickets sold out within just a few hours from when they got released.
On the day, there were over 60 participants whose knowledge of machine translation varied from being an expert to not knowing much about it at all. The event revolved around questions such as what machine translation is, which types of content it works well in, how linguists can leverage it in their daily work and whether linguists should feel threatened or encouraged by the rise in AI.
The general consensus was that humans and machines can work well together in a number of contexts, not only in localization.
TAUS Global Content Summit, various locations
Another language industry organisation, TAUS, has a series of Global Content Summits scheduled across the globe for 2019. The London edition, happening on the 15th of May, will feature an extensive section on machine translation.
It will focus on practical use cases – speakers from some of the larger players in the localization industry will share their experiences with adoption of machine translation as part of their business strategy.
They will explain what impact MT has had on their workflows and how they have been approaching the topic with their pool of linguists, helping them to adapt to the changing landscape. One not to miss!
MT Summit, Dublin
Another event worth saving the date for is MT Summit in Dublin, taking place between the 19th and the 23rd of August. The conference is curated by the well-established European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) and has an impressive record of 22 past annual events.
The event gathers a varied crowd – there will be developers and data scientists, members of academia but also language service providers, translators and language service buyers all exchanging ideas and sharing the knowledge. This diversity means
One of the central themes of this year's MT Summit will be focussing on the users of machine translation and the ways in which this technology is influencing linguists, LSPs and technology providers today.
Asling, London
Towards the end of the year, another well-established industry event will be taking place in London. The 41st edition of Asling will revolve around translation memory and CAT tools in general, natural language processing and terminology management but also machine translation systems, their customisations, assessing MT quality and post-editing strategies.
Asling, as well as the other events mentioned above, aims to bring together all the different parts of the localization industry to inspire dialogue and drive best practices that would be applicable across the whole sector.
Those type of events are an excellent opportunity to have open, relaxed conversations with peers, exchange ideas, listen to new perspectives and therefore gain knowledge about completely new fields or further the knowledge you already have.

"Know your enemy very well and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster," observed Sun Tzu. If a ball past your goalposts, who do you blame, the coach, the defenders or all the team members?
By STEVE NYAMBE
Some may blame an uneven pitch and others the weather, but what is certain is that there will always be a scapegoat.
While all the above may be true, finding something or someone to blame may not always be the right thing to do.
The story of a villager
There is a story of a villager, who announced to his fellow villagers that their enemy had died.
This was certainly good news to the villagers.
The villager then told his audience, who had come out in their numbers, when the burial of the enemy would be.
As normal proceedings of a funeral go, time came for body viewing and the atmosphere was predictably tense and sombre.
One by one they walked towards the coffin, expectant to see who the enemy was.
On getting to the coffin, they were to peep through as they bade farewell to this unnamed enemy.
Surprisingly, there was nothing in the coffin.
All they could see was a mirror which was fixed inside.
The mirror was fixed so it could reflect the face of the mourner as they passed by.
At the end of it all, people were now wondering what the message was.
This was so because there was no body to view and there was no one being buried.
Later on, they were called for the explanation and they were told that what they saw in the coffin was their real enemy.
What had they seen?
Their own faces!
In brief, this man was saying you are your own enemy.
The only enemy you have is none other than yourself.
You are your own enemy
Remember, the supreme art of a war is to subdue the enemy without actually fighting.
This is your time to subdue your enemy.
Still, you may be wondering who your enemy is.
Your enemy is yourself.
You can take yourself forward or backwards.
It is within in your capabilities.
The ball is in your court.
It can be done. Be blessed.

Part V The Effects of Assignment, The Persistence of Property Rights, and The Vindication of An Owner's Rights, 29 Vindication Of An Owner's Rights
From: The Law of Assignment (3rd Edition)
Marcus Smith, Nico Leslie
- Subject(s):
- Averting and minimising loss and insurance
This chapter studies the manner in which an owner of property can vindicate his rights if they are interfered with by another. An owner who has been wrongfully deprived of his property, whether that property is tangible or intangible, and whether the claim is brought as a claim in tort (as a claim in conversion) or in equity (as an 'equitable vindicatio'), must frame that claim as a 'following' claim and/or as a 'tracing' claim. When an owner seeks to follow property, he is seeking to identify his property in the hands of another. Essentially, in order to follow property, an owner must show: that he was unlawfully deprived of property that he owned; that the person he is asserting his claim against holds that property; and that he has a better right to the property than the person holding it.

You read me right (unless you read me dirty)! For the first time in five decades, I got my nails done by a professional. Not just a mani either. I got the works: artificial "solar" nails. They look awesome. It's just that . . . Well, know what you can't do with fake fingernails?
* Can't pick your nose. Square tips make it impossible to get past the porthole. (Vodka Mom, those rugrats still mining for gold in class? Get those little booger bugs some French tips!)
* Can't pick up change from a flat surface, not unless you tip one edge into a crack. Ditto for paper clips, bobby pins, buttons, and sharp, sharp, sharp thumb tacks. Did I mention sharp?
* Can't text. Total blackout on communication, folks. Opposable thumbs don't matter when all you can text into your cell phone is "yh3s3 fuvkin nals r kihhing mee."
* Typing on my laptop has been a challenge but, hey, my speed is picking up. I banged this out in six hours!
* Trying to work a zipper is a whole 'nother story. Spent a lot of time in the bathroom today, most of it standing up. Hunched over. Squeezing my knees together. And cussing.
* NEW ONE: Can't scoop your finger into anything creamy, like night cream, liquid foundation, and frosting. It all gets gooped up under the nail -- 'course, if you find frosting later, that might be a nice treat! ;)
All I gotta say is, Thank god I wear thongs. If I had to pick a thick wedgie out of my butt, I'd slash a hemorrhoid – if I had one, I mean.
Note: Yankee Chick says if you put on pantyhose, "be vewy, vewy careful not to poke your thumb nails thru them." You know what she means, girlies. You could run those puppies from your ankles to your uh-uh! And how sexy is an unsightly run? Gentlemen?.

LifeCell celebrates milestone achievement of 50,000 customers in Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Banking
~ A market leader as India's largest and most accredited stem cell bank ~
12 September 2012 :
LifeCell International, India's largest and most accredited stem cell bank, announced a milestone achievement of successfully preserving 50,000 umbilical cord blood stem cell units in its preservation center and laboratory located in Chennai. Stem cells derived from the umbilical cord are known to have the potential to treat over 75 serious medical conditions. More and more expectant parents are now banking with LifeCell to collect and preserve their baby's umbilical cord stem cells at birth for potential need in the future.
Established in 2004, LifeCell is India's first private stem cell storage company and still retains the position of being the market leader with over 50,000 parents including some of the most popular celebrity couples having stored their baby's umbilical cord stem cells with it. With a pan-India presence, LifeCell's services extend to over 100 towns and cities in the country. Its preservation facility in Chennai is one of the most reputed in the industry with several national and international accreditations to its credit.
LifeCell has attained its stature as India's largest stem cell preservation company through its persistent educative and promotional initiatives to create awareness on the need for stem cell preservation. To further enhance awareness, LifeCell partnered with Lisa Ray, Model and actor, who had undergone successful stem cell therapy for treatment of blood cancer. Lisa Ray continues to endorse the brand. LifeCell today enjoys the premium space in stem cell banking industry through its brand initiatives. Whilst India is the world's largest birthing country, the penetration of the stem cell storage has been a dismal 0.2% compared to the global average which is between 5% in the US to as high as 25% in Singapore. LifeCell believes that poor awareness rate and per capita income are the primary reasons for low penetration in the Indian market, yet is optimistic that India would soon reach the global benchmarks.
Commenting on the milestone achievement, Mr Mayur Abhaya, Managing Director and CEO said, "When we launched our services in 2004 the medical fraternity was not even aware of the concept of stem cell banking. It was our responsibility to create awareness amongst both the doctors and the expectant parents about its enormous scope in the future. As a first step we dedicatedly imparted education at medical forums and put together an experience customer detailing team who counseled parents on a one-to-one level inside the comfort of their homes. Our 50,000 member milestone is recognition of that effort. I'm pleased that we are now offering this valuable service pan India and increasingly in other neighbouring countries too".
The stem cell storage industry is growing at a rate of 30-40% per year. More and more innovative services have been launched in the space of stem cell preservation such menstrual blood banking. To address the market opportunity LifeCell has embarked on significantly expanding its preservation capacity at its facility in Chennai expected to be completed in the next 3 months.

Why Do Americans Distrust Government?
May 12, 2014
On September 9, 2009, President Obama delivered his State of the Union Address; among his topics were plans for changing our health care system. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was the House Speaker and Harry Reid (D-NV) Senate Majority Leader. The President had just said that under his plan illegal immigrants would be ineligible for free health care, when from the back of the chamber Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) yelled out "You Lie!" In the roll out of ObamaCare many of the claims made about its meaningful parts turned out to be untrue.
Texas has had an unwritten custom; your word is your bond. A handshake is all it used to take. But things are changing and since 2009, America's trust in government has plummeted.
Next was Benghazi where the Administration put Susan Rice on five Sunday talk shows claiming the attack on the consulate was in response to an Internet video, when recent emails reveal that the attack was a preplanned terrorist attack and people in the intelligence community and the White House knew it from the start. Weeks following the attack, where Ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered, the Administration and the President continued telling us that this was the result of a demonstration.

Drag queens bring the holiday spirit in annual tour
December 11, 2018
Drag is not something I thought I'd really enjoy, especially on a Wednesday. But when my friend called me at midnight and asked if I'd want to go with him the next day, I said yes, because spontaneous adventure is necessary for a healthy life.
Going into the show, I was a little hesitant, because I had no idea what to expect. However, the environment created was incredibly welcoming from the beginning, and the diverse group of people assembled both to participate in the show and to watch were all enthusiastic. Murray and Peter's "A Drag Queen Christmas" stuffed every minute full with fabulous outfits, jokes, and spot-on lip sync performances.
There was never a dull moment on stage, especially with all of the special effects. The smoke, the lasers, the spotlights. The queens were constantly including the audience in their performances, from tossing them parts of their outfits to graciously taking their money. Once, they even had a little girl walk on stage, and they included her in their act.
Throughout the night, I gained a lot of respect for the queens. I definitely wouldn't be able to keep my composure while twirling, cartwheeling, and death-dropping in high heels, but none of the queens had a problem with it. One even gave us a mini classical concert with her violin.
It's hard to single out a favorite part of the night, but my friend and I lost our minds when Raja Gemini performed "Like a Virgin."
Attending a drag show definitely opened my mind and gave me a new respect for the immense talent of the queens. If I ever get the chance to attend another performance, I'll take it.

Showcasing a nice quality 1983 Honda Civic 1300 Hatchback with only 69.610 original miles. This car could be at the top 10 best known original example of a second generation Honda Civic in the US!
The Honda Civic (second generation) debuted in June 1979 with a more angular shape, increased engine power, and larger dimensions in all models. The design was closer aligned to its larger sister, the Honda Accord and the car was generally more comfortable and sophisticated than the first generation Honda Civic. They were produced from 1979 to 1983.
This car was sold new in The Netherlands, in where it spent its whole life This is documented on the Car Fax report which is included. Also the Dutch documents to proof the low mileage. The original owners manuals and other documentation is also included. This car has always been garaged in a heated environment and was treated very well. This car is original and in nice running and driving condition.
The body has no rot and the red metallic paint looks nice. All of the glass and exterior appointments are in excellent condition. The grey interior is in god presentable condition and everything is in working order. The trunk compartment is also like new and home to the spare tire with tools.
The original engine compartment is very detailed and clean. The engine is a 1.3L 4cyl that runs great. The engine is coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission. The undercarriage is very clean throughout. All of the factory stickers and factory markings are still in place throughout the car.
It's hard to believe this car is 35 years old. It's near impossible to find Japanese in good overall condition let alone a showroom condition one with low miles like this one. This car is a true time capsule that will make a great addition to any collection. da civic. Interior is very neat. Rare beautiful condition.
