Apple will launch its online store in India on September 23, bringing a range of services for the first to customers in the world's second largest smartphone market in over 20 years since it began operating in the country. The company, which currently relies on third-party online and offline retailers to sell its products in India, said its online store will offer AppleCare+, which extends the warranty on its hardware products by up to two years, as well as a trade-in program to let customers access discounts on purchase of new iPhones by returning previous models. Customers will also be able to buy Macs with custom configuration.
Tech stocks once again fell prey to selling pressure, as encouraging jobless data and the Fed failed to calm the jitters.
(Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. will this month begin direct sales online in India, more than 20 years after the world's most valuable tech company first began operating in the South Asian country that's one of world's fastest-growing smartphone markets.Cupertino, California-based Apple said it will launch its online store in India on Sept. 23, confirming a Bloomberg News report last month. The company will offer its full range of products from iPhones to Mac computers and provide support directly to customers for the first time, following years of lobbying New Delhi to get around regulations that force foreign companies to source 30% of components locally.Read more: Apple Plans to Start Selling Online in India Next Month Smartphones account for the bulk of India's online retail by value, and Apple will be among the first global companies to sell directly online before it opens a brick & mortar store.Apple's India online store will offer customer support in both English and Hindi, allowing it to reach out to the country's 1.3 billion people just ahead of the October-November festive shopping season that culminates with Diwali.

Behind the Scenes at the Berman Museum
March 26, 2018
Dedicated students and staff are hard at work helping to promote an appreciation for the arts on campus.
The Phillip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art, nestled between Corson and Olin halls, is an integral part of Ursinus College. It is a space that presents innovative exhibitions and programs that delve into a broader world of ideas and invite curiosity and critical thinking.
Behind the scenes, Ursinus students play a large role in helping those exhibitions come to life.
"It's a really cool opportunity because, at least for me, I am doing more professional work that I probably wouldn't be doing elsewhere," Teddi Caputo '18 says.
The Berman's student workers, like Caputo, dedicate time, energy and fervor in order to maintain the collections, install exhibitions and keep the museum running smoothly. They curate exhibitions, maintain campus sculptures in the summer and also perform museum research.
They also work in the collections field, which is when students work with the artwork itself, moving, installing, packing, unpacking, and filing artwork, as well as other tasks.
Students gain tangible skills while working in the museum, says Julie Choma, collections manager and registrar at the Berman Museum. She stressed that museum work is not merely one-dimensional. Student workers may learn how to install exhibitions or catalogue collections, but they also learn why professionals handle art in specific ways, and the importance of taking care of art in order to gain a respect and understanding of the museum world.
Aubrey Basla '18, a collections assistant, says, "What I liked about [working in collections] was being in our full inventory and being able to know that what I was doing was helping to organize and protect [the art] for years to come."
Although there is no "typical" day while working in a fluid and ever-changing industry, Skye Gailing '18, collections assistant and social media representative, described her average Thursday at the Berman.
Gailing and the other student workers handle the logistics, like opening the museum, turning videos on for the exhibitions, and working the front desk. She also maintains the collections hours with Basla, where they conduct inventory in the vaults and perform other book-keeping tasks.
"We are doing a show of photographs of famous artists' pallets," Caputo says, describing a current project. "The photographer is Matthias Schaller and he went back and photographed Van Gogh's pallet and Monet's pallet. There are going to be large-sized photographs in the main gallery, so I am writing bios for every artist and their corresponding pallet."
When taking all of these tasks into consideration, it's easy to see why Choma refers to the students as her "backbone." She says other industry professionals have told her that they are inspired by the skills Ursinus students display while working at the Berman.
"No matter where you go [in the museum industry], there's always too much to do, there is never enough people, and you never get paid enough for it," she says. "You do it because you are dedicated. You do it because you like doing it. You have that passion."
There are rewarding aspects when working in the museum industry, especially to those that have a passion for the arts. Students have a chance to get acquainted with the various exhibitions on display, as well as make connections with people in the industry.
Gailing says one of her favorite exhibitions was one curated through the college's museum studies courses. "It showed the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating museum exhibitions and the process surrounding working at a museum."
Choma explains that what she appreciates the most while working at the Berman Museum is the time she gets to work with students, and the atmosphere created by a museum located on a college campus.
"Students remind me of why I like doing what I do," she says, adding that she hopes the student workers feel a sense of community at the Berman.
"We don't just have students. We have family members here," she says. "We want to create an environment where they are comfortable to make friends here, comfortable to come here when they need something. That is what I want them to get out of their experiences. Knowledge, and then family." –By Madison Bradley '18
The Berman Museum's student workers this year include: Aubrey Basla, Kate Bormann, Shelby Bryant, Teddi Caputo, Megan Carty, Emma Feinman, Skye Gailing, Jacob Helwig, Morgan Larese, Yanlin Li, Sam Pope, Daniella Statuti, Robert Varney and Haochen Yan.

The nested layout grid behaves exactly like when they are not nested, e.g, they have 12 columns on desktop, 8 columns on tablet and 4 columns on phone. They also use the same gutter size as their parents, but margins are not re-introduced since they are living within another cell.
However, the Material Design guidelines do not recommend having a deeply nested grid as it might mean an over complicated UX.
This requires a max-width on the top-level grid element.
This requires a max-width on the top-level grid element.

Jason Witten will officially become a free agent in March, putting his football future up in the air once again.
The longtime Dallas tight end sounds like he wants to return for a 17th season in the league next fall. Yet given all the changes underway within the Cowboys organization — the team hired head coach Mike McCarthy to replace Jason Garrett earlier this month — Witten is fully aware that he may be looking elsewhere for a place to play.
"We'll see how it plays out, but yeah, I'm putting myself in position to go play and evaluating what that looks like," Witten said, via The Athletic. "I hope [it's with the Cowboys]. But I realize I'm a free agent, too, in March. Any time a new staff comes together, I've played a long time, so I realize that may mean somewhere else too. That's just part of the business. I'll continue to communicate and see where it unfolds."
Witten recorded 529 yards and four touchdowns on 63 receptions for Dallas last season, his first year back after a brief one-year stint with ESPN's Monday Night Football. The 37-year-old is the organization's all-time receptions leader and has undoubtedly been the most stable part of the Cowboys offense since he entered the league in 2003.
McCarthy confirmed that he has spoken with Witten since arriving in Dallas, but declined to say anything about his future plans — be that returning to the field, joining his coaching staff or otherwise.
"I had a great conversation with Jason and he's got a number of things he's thinking about," McCarthy said earlier this month, via the Cowboys. "I think that's what he's working through right now."
Whether he returns or not, Witten believes that the Cowboys are in a great position to make a run next season.
They are "absolutely a contender" to win a title, he said, which "makes you want to be a part of it."
"Anybody who knows football, there are certain things you look for and say that's going to be a potential championship team. Dallas passes that test with flying colors," Witten said, via The Athletic. "I think what Stephen and Jerry and [vice president of player personnel Will McClay] have done, putting that team together, now Mike adding a good staff, it's right there.
"It's easier said than done, you got to go do it. But I think it's still primed to be able to compete at a high level."

People across America have today been mourning the loss of 17 lives following the latest this latest incident of a man brandishing his 'mental health', raising questions about how someone suffering from gun ownership was able to get his hands on some mental health and use it to such deadly affect.
An advocate of stricter mental health ownership said: 'We need to make sure people armed to the teeth with pistols, rifles, and enough ammunition to supply a small army aren't able to just walk into a crowded place and start indiscriminately taking people out with their mental health".
One suggestion is to make sure teachers in school are all in possession of mental health issues to try and combat anyone committed to perpetrating a mass mental-healthing in their class. A local resident to the recent mental-healthing and supporter of the idea said: 'It's a well known fact that the best way to defend against a heavily armed bad guy with mental health issues is a good guy with mental health issues.'

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has released the final figures for U.S. motorcycle traffic crashes and related issues in the form of its 2004 Traffic Safety Facts publications.
In terms of basic numbers, the latest reports show pretty much what the initial report and reports from previous years have revealed. Here are the highlights:
- 4008 motorcyclists died in crashes on U.S. roads in 2004
- That's 9% of U.S. traffic fatalities for 2004
- Motorcycling deaths have climbed every year since 1997 along with the fatality rates per bike registered and per estimated mile ridden
- California and Florida lead the league in deaths, with 432 each in 2004.
- Motorcyclists are about 32 times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident than drivers of other vehicles
- Motorcyclists who get dead are more likely to have been drinking than those who die in other vehicles
- Approximately 76,000 motorcyclists were reported injured in crashes on U.S. roads in 2004
Riders in the over-40 age group have trended steeply upward in the crash statistics during the past decade. That fact has been widely bemoaned and theorized about, but we don't know if those older riders are crashing more than other other age groups per mile ridden.
Some numbers from the NHTSA report are worth consideration by any street rider:
- Collisions with other vehicle made up 51% of 2004's fatal accidents.
78% of the riders involved in two-vehicle fatal accidents were struck from the front, and only 6% were struck from the rear. In other words, seeing what's out in front of you and being seen by the drivers out there are critical.
24% of motorcyclists involved in fatal crashes did not have motorcycle licenses. That's about twice the rate for other vehicles. Consider it a warning to get trained and licensed and also not to loan your bike to your unlicensed friends.
As always, riding after drinking is extremely hazardous to your health. On weekend nights, 60% of riders who crashed and died without any outside help had blood-alcohol contents (BACs) of .08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or greater. A third (34%) of all motorcyclists who died riding had some BAC, even though they weren't necessarily legally drunk.
The NHTSA always includes estimates of lives that helmet use saved. It uses 37% helmet effectiveness in preventing fatal head injuries, a number which the anti-helmet camp certainly has trouble accepting. Using that number, the NHTSA estimates that helmets saved over 1300 lives in 2004 and that universal use of DOT-spec helmets would have prevented half again that many deaths.
A third of fatally injured motorcyclists were thought to have been speeding prior to their crashes. That's about twice the rate of drivers of other vehicles.

The second comic in the Marvel Universe, and only because it birthed a legendary character.
Fin Fang Foom was probably Jack Kirby's most famous "monster"–and he created a lot of them. In the creature's origin story, a Chinese teen rouses the ancient dragon Fin Fang Foom to fight the Chinese Communist Army and then, after Foom destroys them, he puts the dragon back to sleep. But not until after he destroys the Great Wall.
Foom didn't appear again until 1974, but he became so popular that, in retrospect, this done-in-one horror comic really needs to be thought of as the second issue in what we now know to be the Marvel Universe.
Here's how Jack Kirby tells the origin tale:
Creators: Stan Lee, Jack Kirby
First appearances: Fin Fang Foom

One of the great things about watching movie trailers in the theater is that you have no idea what's coming. In those first seconds, as images and sounds unfold before you, you get to enjoy the increasingly rare feeling of uncertainty, of not knowing what you're seeing. Crafty trailers can exploit this lack of foreknowledge, playing on your expectations and subverting traditional genre beats. Were that only the case here: Instead, you get to read that this is the U.K. trailer for Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, and have all the hard work the trailer does in its first two-thirds ruined by the advance warning that this is not your usual British period piece. The film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's literary mashup looks to trade on its sassy source material, tweaking the conventions of a stately English drama with its final reveal of our badass zombie-killing heroines. The movie could very well be a lot of fun; unfortunately, we've gone and slightly spoiled this trailer simply by dint of giving you the title. But you've got until February 5 to be surprised all over again.

Courtesy of Utica Sports Information
UTICA, N.Y. – Geneva Lloyd '13 scored the eventual game-winner 5:15 into the first period and goalie Kerri Stuart '14 made it stand with 20 saves as the Amherst College women's hockey team wrapped up an important two-win weekend in Upstate New York with an exciting 1-0 triumph at Utica College on Sunday afternoon.
Notching their first shutout of the season in their final game before the New Year, the Lord Jeffs improved to 5-4 with the win while Utica dropped to 4-5. Stuart improved to 3-2 on the year as she notched the fourth clean sheet of her career, allowing Amherst to overcome a 20-18 Pioneer advantage in shots. Utica also had a 6-3 edge in power plays, but Stuart and the Jeff defense held fast, turning away trio of one-up opportunities for the hosts in the third period.
Before fans had time to get comfortable at Utica Memorial Auditorium, Lloyd had staked Amherst to an early lead, tallying her team-best sixth goal of the season on an assist from Tori Salmon '15, the sophomore's league-leading seventh helper of the year. On the play, Salmon took a few steps into the Utica zone before dumping a puck towards the net which Lloyd was able to deflect past Utica goalie Jennifer Hamel '14. With the score, Lloyd moved up to second in the NESCAC with nine total points, while Salmon is tied for third at eight.
After the rest of the first period passed quietly, both teams earned a pair of power plays in the second but came up empty on each. Utica ramped up the pressure in the third, holding an 8-6 edge in shots, but Stuart was the difference for Amherst, as the junior made four clutch saves in the final six minutes in between a pair of unsuccessful Pioneer power plays.
After breaking for the Holidays, Amherst will return to action with a Friday-Saturday NESCAC series at Colby on January 4-5.

TOM FORD returned to the familiar this season. Feeling reminiscent, the designer concluded, "Living in Los Angeles as I have for the past two years, I find that color is more important to me than it was when I lived in London. A softer color palette seems right to me this season. "
Intuition assigns romance to red, tranquility to pale pink and a sense of comfort to caramel. Favoring instinct, Tom Ford's fall 2019 collection captured the sensibility color brings as it relates to fabric and silhouette. In the same way, poetic language explains: roses are red, and violets, blue, an emotive experience lives in encountering color. Its impact is vibrational.
The proximity between formal and relaxed fashions elevated the experience. A black cashmere hooded pullover with a pouch pocket for true athletic appeal paired to a faux fur cropped evening jacket, while a navy pinstripe woman's blazer completed a full look suit in his menswear. Dynamics continued between pinks and reds, silk and velvet. Among the polarity there is harmony.
And just when you thought the collection was too ordinary, and fashion was normalized to hoodies and trousers, Ford ends the show with a custom Swarovski crystal full-length gown. The concept of elevating simple clothing fulfilled

American photographer Robert McCabe fell in love with Greece since the first time he visited her back on the '60s. The young student of Princeton University used every possible way to admire the beauty of the country, mostly by traveling multiple times through the years to many of its areas.
As he told to many reporters during a press tour of the Archaeological Society of Athens, where his photos are on display, he "remains so spellbound by the people, the monuments and the general landscape, that he considers himself half American and half Greek."
His exhibition "Chronographia – Exhibition for the 180 years (1837-2017) of the Archaeological Society" was inaugurated in December and will end on March 29. It is free of charge and open daily, except Saturdays and Sundays, from 10:00 to 18:00.
Two Saturdays, on February 16, 2019 and on March 9, 2019 (11.30 am), the Archaeological Society of Athens welcomes the audience wishing to tour the world of Robert McCabe through 53 black and white photographs, mainly from 1954 to 55 in regions of intense archaeological interest at that time, such as the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, Sounio, Knossos, Santorini, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Delos and others.

SHA Back at IHEEM for the 10th year
Steven Hunt & Associates, will be returning to the Healthcare Estates exhibition and conference for the 10th consecutive year at Manchester Central (20-21st October) to showcase the company's specialist work in the healthcare sector.
Exhibiting at Stand D24, the company has an established expertise in the healthcare sector, combining specialist understanding of treatment and care facilities with a clear focus on energy efficiency, operational cost management and best value.

When professor Brett Gadsden and professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hank Klibanoff established the Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project at Emory University in 2011, the point was not to solve the cold cases of racially motivated murders in Georgia, but to try and determine why those crimes went unpunished. Last spring, the course material from that project became the Buried Truths podcast on WABE.
The first season, which debuted in March 2018, introduced listeners to Isaiah Nixon, the 28-year-old father of six who was shot and killed in 1948 for having exercised his right to vote in Alston, Georgia. In addition to shining a light on a forgotten case, season one's in-depth look at the atmospheric conditions that prevailed in the Jim Crow era provided an effective way to better understand the larger, racially divided histories of Georgia, the South and, by extension, the United States, that are still being played out today.
For the second season of Buried Truths, which debuted February 18, Klibanoff retraces the steps of A.C. Hall, a 17-year-old high school student and only child who was fatally shot by two white police officers on October 13, 1962, after a white couple identified him as the man they say stole a pistol from their car. The gun the couple alleged was stolen by Hall was never found by police.
Season two will explore the tragic fallout of cross-racial identification, white civilians policing black bodies and the kind of privilege built into the law in Georgia that protected its police officers no matter the cost. Historically important figures who sought justice for Hall, including attorneys Donald Hollowell, an Atlanta-native, and Howard Moore, who went on to represent Angela Davis, will also be featured.
Since the podcast's first season, Buried Truths' reach has continued to grow. After its first season aired, the Georgia Department of Education partnered with WABE to create a lesson plan for middle and high school students that coincides with the podcast, and it's continuing to spark important conversations among educators, judges and policymakers in the South today.
The influence of the Klibanoff's podcast has also extended far beyond Atlanta and Georgia, with listeners tuning in from 163 countries.
"I have spent the last 24 years living in France," wrote one ex-pat listener. "Over the years, I have tried to educate my three children of the racial issues in America. I believe they retained some things, but I wasn't sure there was a real impact on their thinking. Then we started listening to Buried Truths. To avoid a 4,000-word email, I will simply say, from the bottom of my heart . . . thank you. Today, there are three Franco-American teens who understand the past of their country and why we must avoid such evil moving forward."
Notes like this confirm his belief that when we understand who we were, we can better understand who we are.
During a recent trip to visit family in Alabama, Klibanoff stumbled across a textbook called Know Alabama. It's a book that likely would've been in circulation in schools when he was a child, one that also perpetuated lies about the cruelties of slavery and of black experience in this country.
"This book wanted me to believe that black people loved slavery, that they were very loyal to their slave masters, that their owners were very good to them and that the Ku Klux Klan only stepped in because the federal government wasn't getting things done," Klibanoff says.
It's part of his goal with the podcast to help listeners unlearn some of those lies.
"Part of what you're going to hear in this podcast is how we were conditioned to think certain things . . . and how even though there are times when you're not really sure someone did things out of racial motivation, you can be fairly sure they did it out of racial conditioning."

Guest Speaker Professor Bodo Schlegelmilch, Chair of AMBA (L) and Chief Guest, Mr Pradeep Lal, Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Fiji at the Laucala Campus.
The University of the South Pacific's (USP) Graduate School of Business (GSB) celebrated the completion of the academic year for their students and Alumni with a public lecture at the USP's Japan ICT Lecture Theatre, Laucala Campus on 23 November 2018.
Professor Raghuvar Pathak, Head of the GSB said many MBA scholars have now completed their final trimester and look forward to joining over 1200 USP MBA alumni, many of whom are holding senior leadership positions including that of Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, CEOs of public and private enterprises and successful entrepreneurs.
He said that since 1995, GSB has been providing opportunities for quality management education to every person in every part of the Pacific, empowering them to contribute to the socio economic transformation of their countries.
Professor Pathak announced that as per AMBA accreditation norms, GSB will be offering the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programme from the next academic session.
"We are encouraged by persistent demands from our graduates occupying important decision-making positions throughout the Pacific and we hope that it will be of great help in further empowering our graduates in all USP member countries in contributing to the socio-economic development of their countries," he noted.
According to Professor Pathak, the GSB has achieved many milestones in the last 22 years and a significant achievement in particular is the fact that their MBA is internationally accredited and has been reaccredited by the London-based Association of MBAs or AMBA.
Professor Pathak also acknowledged the Guest Speaker Professor Bodo Schlegelmilch, Chair of AMBA, who spoke on the Future of Management Education.

"As many of you now know, AMBA delivers a world class accreditation service focusing on the quality assurance of postgraduate management programmes at the top tier business schools around the world," he said.
Professor Pathak added, "For our MBA graduates, AMBA accreditation opens many doors and opportunities. Our AMBA accreditation is an official recognition that USP's MBA is of comparable standard to those offered by other premier graduate business schools around the world".
"Our AMBA accreditation means that our students receive the highest standard of education and their qualifications are recognised by employers internationally. It also means that employers of our graduates are assured of high-calibre graduates who are aware of the challenges facing businesses in today's commercial environment and are equipped with the skills to find solutions," emphasised Professor Pathak.
He congratulated the MBA students for their hard work, dedication to studies, and the high performance standards they have demonstrated. He also acknowledged their corporate sponsors for their support.
Chief Guest, Mr Pradeep Lal, Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Fiji and an alumnus of USP, congratulated GSB for molding future leaders for Fiji and the Pacific.
He said the learnings and experiences gained not only enable professionals to carry out the roles assumed, but to excel into managerial roles over the years effectively to meet the challenges of leading a dynamic organsation in a fast-paced industry.
"USP, being the Pacific's very own, has played an instrumental role in shaping the future of our fellow Pacific Islanders. It has not only been the key player in modernising the education system of the Pacific, but also a leaders in advocating matters of Pacific interest," he said.

"It has been the stepping stone to preparing the leaders and workforce of the future. USP's regional footprint and presence in the Pacific has made access to tertiary education much easier and convenient," he said.
He added that with the GSB, USP offers professional networking experience and, "I am pleased to say that a huge alumni network allows for more learnings, sharing and development leading to significant contributions not only in Fiji and the Pacific, but on international grounds as well".
Guest Speaker Professor Bodo Schlegelmilch, Chair of AMBA, who spoke on the Future of Management Education highlighted four catalysts of change that contribute to new paradigms of organisational success.
The catalysts include New Business Models, Growth of Emerging Markets, Demand for Sustainability and the Speed for Technological Change.
New business models he said, dominate wealth creation for instance Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, challenge incumbents like the traditional way of retailing while social media has taken over the need to purchase newspapers. Another example, is in terms of telecom providers where people are moving away from the traditional means of sending messages (text message) to Whatsapp as more convenient and cheaper way to communicate.
He added that new business models also disrupt business schools like the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) and further noted that the paradigm shift in business education has seen one third of America's graduate degrees now taken online.
According to Professor Bodo, the digital paradigm shift fuels an unprecedented speed of Technological Change with the introduction of robots, 3D printers, self-drive cars, holograms and drones, among many others.
GSB also hosted a dinner for the MBA scholars and event sponsors at the Pacific Fusion Restaurant at the Laucala Campus.

Noting its apparent rise in acceptance among younger Jamaicans (and judging from this outing, some older ones too), this writer had not tested the waters at a full-length EDM showcase.
Boasting enough total electrical power to illuminate a small neighbourhood (which, in effect, the Stadium east/Mas Camp complex was for the night), the show offered a surprising and welcome diversity of musical styles, not to mention some cool special appearances, courtesy of Richie Stephens, Sean Paul, Chronixx and Protoje, who each bowed new collabs with the Major Lazer team(Stepehns, and Garnet Silk Jr came on to pay tribute to the latter's legendary late father). So too, did special guest, Jamaican-born, US resident Party Next Door, whose performance frankly, was not the life of the party.
The other DJ teams participating, brought their particular sensibilities, mostly embodied in the hype men (opener Shane Firestarter allowed his selections to do the talking), but they were really just appetizers - the Major Lazer presented a show that satisfied in all aspects - visual, sonic and the intangible, vibes - and could easily have sustained the show on their own - even without the now obligatory "giant clear ball" or the confetti cannons..
An honourable mention goes to the lone female on the roster, The Wizard, whose self-produced smash "Mash it Up" is still a party staple three years on. Her set started out with a refreshing absence of the rote dance tracks, opting instead for the kind of dense, even murky lines that might commonly be associated with a Skrillex, and gradually transited to more "dance-ready" fare. Like Third Dimension who followed her, Wizard gave ample confirmation that she is ready for her "global close-up" (to borrow a movie industry catch-phrase).
Overall, the Major Lazer experience, loud as it obviously was, and heavy on the presence of skimpily-clad, barely-legal fans, is a first-rate production. It started on time, ended within the acceptable time frame, and has lots to teach indigenous promoters - and acts.
Looking forward to 2017.

There's a lot of movin' and shakin' at Levitt concerts. At any given show you're bound to spot heads bobbing, toes tapping and, of course, some dancing divas (and divos) transforming any stretch of lawn they can find into their own personal dance floors. Young Jack Tracy would definitely be in this last category.
It shouldn't come as a surprise—Jack knows this lawn well. With his home just around the corner, he and his mom make their way over to Levitt Pavilion Pasadena for every kids concert, sound check, bike ride and dog walk. Natalie Tracy, Jack's mom, is one of many parents who has expressed her gratitude for Levitt's family-friendly programming, diverse line-up and open green spaces for Jack and his friends to play (and dance) freely. "Levitt Pasadena is this big, community, fun family thing," she says. "It's about as awesome as it gets for summer entertainment." Learn more about Natalie and Jack Tracy in this new video from our Faces of Levitt series.
During this season of giving, we're grateful to all the Levitteers out there. The positive energy you bring to the concerts makes them that much more meaningful! If you're in a position to bring even more to the largest free concert series in the nation, please consider making a tax-deductible year end gift. Every gift—small and large—makes a difference. With your support, America's largest free concert series can reach even more movers and shakers across the country. With the launch of the new Levitt AMP [Your City] Music Series, which will bring an additional 100 free concerts to 10 more towns and cities across the country, 2015 is already shaping up to be an exciting year!
Celebrate the close of 2014 with a gift to Levitt Pavilions that will bring more smiles, more joy and more togetherness to communities across the country. Your support will be felt for generations to come!

Until 31 December 2020 we invite scholars working in Jewish studies to propose panels and PhD students to submit proposals for the poster session for the international interdisciplinary conference. The aim of the interdisciplinary conference "What's New, What's Next? Innovative Methods, New Sources, and Paradigm Shifts in Jewish Studies" is to explore new directions in the study of East and Central European Jews.
At the heart of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is a multimedia narrative exhibition that draws upon the best recent scholarship in a broad range of disciplines. Scholars in Poland, Israel, and North America collaborated on the creation of an open historical narrative that begins in the 10th century and comes forward to the present.
The exhibition raises many of the methodological and theoretical issues central to Jewish studies today and serves as the inspiration for "What's New, What's Next? Innovative Methods, New Sources, and Paradigm Shifts in Jewish Studies".
What constitutes Jewish studies today and in which direction should we be heading? Which paradigms are guiding the field today? How are theoretical and methodological developments in the humanities and social sciences shaping Jewish studies? How are scholars working in a broad range of disciplines – history, social sciences, literature, visual and performing arts, and other disciplines – contributing to the field? What are interdisciplinary approaches contributing to the field? What is the impact of studies of Jewish life in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on a wider understanding of world history?

This is a survey of different techniques that may be used for embedding geographicdata into web pages. Different models of GIS communication are examined and a testsubject in the form of an application is implemented and evaluated.The test application (?StudentKarta? eng. ?Student Map?) lets students submit theirresidential data and shows their position as pins on an embedded Map.An expire date is used to let the pins fade away and disappear.The application uses the popular Google map engines to display the geographicalpresentations. Both 2D (Google Maps) and 3D (Google Earth) are used and the pinsare rendered by using bitmaps and 3-models.

Tribal. These designs are black silhouettes. Most are based on ancient tribal designs. A well known modern mutation on this style is to modify a traditional design so it appears to be tribal. Some of the most popular styles are modeled after the ancient forms of the South Pacific Islands. These tattoos are usually abstract, artistic representations that include a variety of discrete design elements like spikes swirls and spines. Tribal tattoos in many cases are designed to fit or accentuate a unique the main body. For example, a tribal tattoo might snake over the contours of the back.
Realistic. These designs usually are portraits or landscapes that mimic the depth of a photograph. Mostly they are completed in grayscale since it takes a master tattoo artist to emulate images in colors. Sometimes this style can also be called photo-realism.
Oriental. Usually, the oriental kind of tattooing involves using the system being a canvas rather than adding an individual image here and. Images are utilized to weave an account or even a myth by using an entire armor within the entire back. Usually, this is fanciful, bold, yet detailed color work. Big murals of dragons, flowers, fish, and other animals include the most common oriental tattoos. A dominant image like a dragon could possibly be encompassed by "fill work" that includes artistic, fluid-like swirls of color. The oriental tattoo often follows the rules of Japanese perspective in painting that's concerned with symmetry and balance. Also, the symbols in a Japanese tattoo will have deeper meanings. As an example, a tattoo of a carp represents wealth and prosperity.
Celtic. These silhouette style tattoos have thick bold black lines, and sharp angle. A Viking offshoot of the Celtic style includes mythological creatures including griffins. They're primarily carried out black ink only. As they are tough to do, Celtic tattoos are often best created by an artist who specializes in the design and style Celtic tattoos.
Biomechanical. These tattoos often depict machinery intertwined with human flesh. A standard biomechanical tattoo work might depict a human hand, arm, or chest tangled with bits of machinery including screws, wheels, or and pulleys. It feels right an image of the creature that seems half-robot, half-human. This kind of tattoo is inspired by movies for example "Alien."
