The very act of going to an opera requires us to suspend disbelief, and not simply for the implausibility of so many plots. Stories such as that of Mozart's Così fan tutte, though, with its idea that two sisters could be so easily duped into falling for their sibling's lover merely through the agency of disguise, are certainly more unbelievable than most. For her new production of the opera at Maintheater Franken in Würzburg, Martina Veh abandons all pretence. Her Ferrando and Guglielmo simply change into different coloured T-shirts and shoes, and Fiordiligi and Dorabella are none the wiser. Similarly, Despina's impersonations of doctor and notary are just as unlikely to deceive in any real-life situation – anyone can be suggestible to deception given the right circumstances, she seems to say.
Veh is aided in her projection of the story by the design team from fettFilm (Momme Hinrichs and Torge Møller), who have created a staging based around white boxes and use animation to give touches of both realism and surrealism to the setting and the plot. Arias and ensembles are often illustrated or counterpointed on a screen at the back of the stage – a receding ship seen through binoculars during the trio "Soave sia il vento", for instance, as the women and Don Alfonso wave goodbye to the departing soldiers. The animation also provides the scenery, with a garden full of suggestively shaped flowers and mushrooms during the seduction scenes. And the characters are represented on film, too, most ingeniously when the women try to choose their beau from life-sized, moving poses as they swipe left and right on a smartphone-shaped screen. Among other neat visual jokes is a tribute to the famous Buster Keaton falling wall when the women are first introduced in Act 1.
The playful nature of the staging in general deflects from the plot's inherent sexism – the men's discussion of women's infidelity is presented like a Powerpoint presentation, in effect ridiculing its premise. And despite the cartoon-like environs, the characters emerge as real people, with Mozart's sublime music fleshing out the detail. Moreover, the very end, with the characters variously showing embarrassment, distress and bafflement as they realise what has been done to them, juxtaposed with the supposedly celebratory closing music, suddenly drew us to the ironic heart and rather unpleasant premise of the whole story.
With only six characters, Così is an opera any self-respecting company should be able to cast from within its own ranks, and the Maintheater Franken has done just that, with all singers coming from the Würzburg ensemble. Silke Evers (Fiordiligi) and Marzia Marzo (Dorabella) made a well-matched pair of sisters and both offered good vocal depth. If Roberto Ortiz's light-voiced Ferrando felt a little pale at times, he pulled his weight in the ensembles and his stage presence was always vivid and a good foil for the burly Guglielmo of Daniel Fiolka, whose tone was focused and warm. Akiho Tsujii's agile and communicative Despina went down a storm with the first-night audience and Taiyu Uchiyama made for an unusually young and boisterous Don Alfonso – not so much the 'old philosopher' as Ferrando and Guglielmo's drinking buddy, prompted by mischief to set his wager, and played like a cross between Don Giovanni and (Rossini's) Figaro.
There were occasions when one sensed that the cast still had a few timing issues to iron out, largely a question of picking up the recitative after applause, which only this first proper exposure to a live audience will have tested – and this first night audience was enthusiastic in its appreciation of virtually every aria and ensemble. The sometimes creaking mechanics of the moving stage sounded as if they could benefit from a bit of oil, too.
Needing no such lubrication was the direction of Mozart's opera buffa from the pit. Enrico Calesso, the Maintheater's general music director, led a sleek, lively performance, with suave playing from the Philharmonisches Orchester Würzburg that in its eschewing of heavy vibrato paid heed to period style without losing warmth. Silvia Vassallo Paleologo's continuo on Hammerklavier also deserves a mention for its style and inventiveness.

Why go all in with one when you could enjoy the best of both worlds if you will. Why persist with wood only to bear the costs when you could live and work on the cheap indefinitely with laminate. But why be cheap when you can still at least make an effort to show some class. Showing class is not just about the looks. It is about the behavior and actions too. People will notice, customers notice these things too.
Why battle with wood when you can just have your laminate. Why put up with spiffy customers when you could just as well deceive them with laminate wood flooring in harrisonburg va. Try as some might, they may never know the difference. And what a waste of time that would be for them. You go on with your day. You carry on with your business. Just hope and pray you've still got the customers. And they're still buying from you.
The thing about laminate wood flooring is this. It says wood on the package. And by the time it is fully laid out, it certainly looks like wood. Interestingly enough, there are indeed wood-based materials included to this efficient flooring system. It is efficient because it is most certainly a lot easier to clean and maintain than alternative and conventional flooring systems. It is efficient because it helps the commercial property owner, the business owner, to improve his or her risk management outcomes.
It is the inclusion of the laminate that brings out the shine in this risk management imperative. The potential for danger is diminished. While slippage on bare wood is still a possibility, slippage on laminate would even less so. And of course, it is always easier to keep the flooring dry.

Mugen recruit Otsu feeling pressure of Red Bull colours
Team Mugen Super Formula driver Hiroki Otsu admits he feels extra pressure to perform in his rookie season as he carries the famous colours of energy drink giant Red Bull.
Otsu has been chosen to drive Mugen's #15 car this season under the 'Red Bull Mugen Team Goh' banner, joining 2020 title contender Tomoki Nojiri in the team's line-up.
He effectively replaces Ukyo Sasahara, who ended up contesting the full 2020 season as COVID-19 travel restrictions prevented Red Bull junior Juri Vips from taking up the seat.
It marks the first time that the team's second car has been permanently assigned to anybody other than a member of the Red Bull Junior Team since the seat's creation in 2017.

After making his Super Formula debut in the final race of 2020 as a substitute for an unwell Tadasuke Makino at Nakajima Racing, Otsu admitted he thought he had no chance of a full-time call-up before being told in the middle of January that the drive was his.
"I wasn't sure if the #15 car would run at all this year, so I had given up," Otsu told the official Super Formula website. "But Team Goh, Red Bull, Honda and Mugen decided to give me their backing and chose me.
"I wasn't expecting that, so I was really surprised and happy when I heard about it. But I also felt a lot of pressure of representing the Red Bull colours."
However, Otsu says the atmosphere within the Mugen garage so far has been positive following his first test with the team earlier this month at Suzuka, where he set the second-fastest time behind Ryo Hirakawa.
"The team itself doesn't put too much pressure on me to be quick," he said. "Instead they encourage me to gradually get used to it and build up the rhythm so I can show my performance.
"There are a lot of young people within the team and morale is high, they are working hard to help me go faster, so it has been easy so far.
"With the car I'm not there yet, and there are still a lot of areas where I can't attack. I'm trying to compensate for that a bit by adjusting the car and I'm adjusting my driving.
"I'm also sharing information with Nojiri-san, so using his experience we can work out what works and what doesn't. We work well as a two-car team."
At 26, Otsu is by some distance the oldest rookie in the 2021 field, five years the senior of Toyota proteges Ritomo Miyata and Sena Sakaguchi.
This is partly because he got started in car racing relatively late, graduating from the Suzuka Racing School in 2013 at the age of 19, while he also fell off the single-seater ladder when he lost his All-Japan Formula 3 drive in 2018 before being handed a second chance in 2019 as a last-minute replacement for Enaam Ahmed at ThreeBond.
That season led to a test chance in the Suzuka rookie test at the end of the year with Nakajima Racing, but he was beaten to the vacancy at the team by fellow Honda youngster Toshiki Oyu.
He focussed entirely on SUPER GT last year after being promoted to the GT500 ranks with Nakajima, sharing the team's Dunlop-shod Honda with Takuya Izawa - who will act as Otsu's advisor in Super Formula this year.
"I didn't race for about three years when I was in high school," said Otsu. "I'll turn 27 this year, so I'm a bit behind the others. I haven't always been on the path to the elite; I've had to take some detours, so I'm an 'old rookie'!
"But this year I've been given this opportunity and I am determined to beat the other rookies and young drivers. As I'm driving under the Red Bull banner, I have to show what I am capable of, and I want people to think, 'He may be a rookie, but he's fast' this year."

- One Authentic copy of Pokemon White 2 with enhanced save (without case)
- All 649 Pokemon, 1998 to 2010 - Living Pokedex
- All usable items
- New Save only
Trainer name
Pokemon OT
Pokemon rarity, all shiny (Legal), Non-shiny
Key Items you request
If left blank the default is: Ash (same OT), Shiny no Key items
Ships in one to two business week with tracking worldwide
Free shipping in USA
I ordered, now what?
Make sure to include any request you need our team to follow. We will message you in 48 hours when to expect tracking. Once you receive tracking your game gets checked one final time, then shipped. Look forward to your game shortly after shipping.
Are these games legitimate, how can I tell?
Yes, every enhanced game Loot Delivered sells is legitimate. They will always pass quality and legitimacy tests because we have to use real games in order to transfer the Pokemon to the cartridge. Fake games do not transfer.
So I can move the Pokemon to other games?
As long as you have the correct hardware and follow the correct steps you shouldn't expect an issue.
What can be customized?
Trainer Name
Where will I be in the game when I receive it?
At the start, no story has been completed, nothing has.
What items are guaranteed?
Everything but Key Items. Importing key items before they are meant to be received creates problems. We always safely import key items that trigger events, such as the Azure Flute in Pearl and Diamond + Plat. Expect 995 of any item we can max out, so at least 995 Rare Candy and any of the Pokeballs.
What are the Pokémon like?
Legally leveled - levels are unchanged and are as low as possible.
6IV - Ready for battle
0 EV training - set up EV's based off the natures we have.
Shiny or Nonshiny - pick one or the other and you receive a game with all the Pokemon from that game.
I only see Boxes up to box 16
Play the game longer, you will get more boxes in the PC and see the Pokemon you want. Every game up to now has 32 boxes total. Some games like white and black want you to play to get all 32.
Why don't my Pokemon obey me?
You need to defeat more gyms, the higher the Pokemon's level the more you need to progress in the game in order to use it.
Can I transfer my Pokemon to newer games?
Yes, check out our transfer guide here!
The Pokedex does not load when I got the game.
You have a completed Pokedex both on the trainer and also within the PC. The game does not expect you to have everything (events and more) in the early parts. If you try to check Pokedex data you shouldn't have access to yet, it can cause a problem.
Later on there should not be an issue.
I went to the PC and there was only 16 boxes
On some of the later games after Plat, the PC needs to load three times to access all the Pokemon we traded over.
How long does it take to ship?
Our games take one to two weeks to ship. We need time to set up the save and work on our orders to do this daily.
What do you mean these Pokemon are legtimate and not hacked?
We have played the games for many years and worked with a lot of people. When we catch a Pokemon in the wild or get an event of a Pokemon that is desired (shiny or normal) we log it in our "Pools".
When it is needed, we duplicate the Pokemon. Trust that you will get valid nongenerated (hacked in) Pokemon, only ones that were caught at one point and then duplicated and traded to the game we are sending you.
- All Pokémon possible in this game will be included (a living pokedex), starting at level 1 and then any other legal levels will be set for other
- Pokemon will be as competitive as possible while still remaining legal. We cannot train EV. We will provide as many 6IV pokemon as possible.
- All Items will be included as well as Rare Candys so you can level your favorite teams.
- INCLUDING ALL KEY ITEMS can sometimes result in bugging a game. Make sure to include in your order a key item you must have in order to be happy. Expect all items but key items to be maxed out unless otherwise asked to protect save data.
- Max money, BP, currencies etc expect us to do whatever we can to max out those values.
- Legal Pokemon legitimately duplicated with a new or completed save file per the included notes.
- Sometimes you need to play to a point in the game to unlock with stronger levels or more pokemon from the PC.

When we ask who has the last word in the use of tile-related products or procedures, we need to begin with a firm foundation. The TCNA Handbook and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) specifications are the foundation or the starting point when we look at the how and/or why of properly installed tile.
The Industry Standards and Details: As an example, we will look at the requirements of a shower receptor installation as found in the Handbook detail B415. Under the Membrane Options section it states: "A waterproof membrane (A118.10) or vapor retarder membrane (A108.02-3.8) must be specified for walls to prevent moisture intrusion and protect adjacent building materials. Specifier shall indicate if complete waterproofing of walls is required, including treatment at termination points."
The critical word in this statement is just two letters "or" as highlighted in the quoted text. This means that the installer installs either a waterproof membrane on the surface of the backer board or a vapor retarder membrane on the studs prior to installing the backer board, not both. Never install vapor retarder membrane and a topically applied waterproof membrane on a shower wall. The reason for this is that moisture can be trapped between them with no way to be released.
Detail B415 utilizes either Cement Backer Board or Fiber-Cement Backer Board on the walls, but other Handbook wall details include a Mortar Bed, Coated Glass Mat Water-Resistant Gypsum Backer Board, Cementitious-Coated Extruded Foam Backer Board, Fiber-Reinforced Water-Resistant Gypsum Backer Board, or a Bonded Waterproof Membrane. They are all installed differently, so follow the written instructions.
The Manufacturer's Directions: It can't be stressed strongly enough that the installer must follow the written instructions of the manufacturer of the products being installed. Always carefully read and follow the provided directions since product installation methods may vary from one manufacturer to another. Don't assume that all backer boards are installed exactly the same way. Also, when possible, use one manufacturer's products or system. Most times the installed system includes the manufacturer's warranty.
The Local Building Code: We have seen that the Handbook and ANSI instruct the installer how to install the specified products and that the product manufacturer has specific instructions for its products. However, the final use and installation of products in the tile assembly is controlled by the local building code. The local building code has the final word on what products are required and what products may or may not be used in that particular city, township, county, or parish. Always check the code in the area where the work is being done, since the code can and does vary from one place to another.
Be careful! You may be required to tear out what has been installed if it does not meet the local code.

Group Eleven Resources Corp. (the "Company") was initially formed in 2015 through the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary in Ireland, Group Eleven Resources Limited ("GERL") in order to target superior exploration opportunities in the Irish zinc district. Through 2015, 2016 and 2017, GERL (and its wholly operating subsidiary, Group Eleven Mining & Exploration Limited or "GEME") successfully acquired licenses encompassing three key areas and established the Company as one of the largest ground position holders in Ireland.
In June 2017, GERL acquired, from Teck Ireland Ltd. ("TIL"), a 60% interest in Ballinalack Resources Limited, the owner of the Ballinalack Project, hosting potential Navan-style mineralization in the Pale Beds. Subsequently, in September 2017, GERL acquired, from TIL, a 76.6% interest in TILZ Minerals Limited, the owner of the Stonepark Project, next to one of the world's largest undeveloped zinc deposits, Glencore's Pallas Green property.
Through this succession of accretive acquisitions the Company now holds the largest ground position in Ireland, consisting of 99 prospecting licenses covering 3,200 square kilometres across four project areas. The Company is rethinking the Irish mining district using existing, consolidated information and applying the latest advancements in technology to identify and target areas of resource potential during a period of strong zinc market fundamentals.
Discover Ireland's next big zinc mine in order to generate exponential shareholder returns and local economic benefits.
Re-write the book on Irish zinc exploration by using out-of-the-box thinking, the latest information and cutting-edge technology. Apply this to our strategic land package via a two pronged, parallel approach consisting of regional-scale thinking and near-term growth though drill target testing and resource expansion.
Ireland is an infrastructure-rich, first-world jurisdiction hosting some of the worlds largest zinc deposits. The deposits tend to be metallurgically clean, helping minimize impacts on the environment. We are situated adjacent to existing deposits, lowering our hurdle for exploration success.

- Clinical behavior analysis
Clinical behavior analysis (or clinical behaviour analysis) has its origins in applied behavior analysis and behavior therapy. It is sometimes referred to as third-generation behavior therapy.[1]
- 1 Current models in clinical behavior analysis
- 2 Clinical formulation
- 3 Professional organizations
- 4 References
- 5 See also
Current models in clinical behavior analysis
Clinical behavior analysis represents a movement in behavior therapy away from cognitivism and back toward radical behaviorism and other forms of behaviorism, in particular functional analysis (psychology) and behavioral models of verbal behavior. This area includes acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), community reinforcement and family training, behavioral activation (BA), Kohlenberg & Tsai's functional analytic psychotherapy, integrative behavioral couples therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. These approaches are squarely within the applied behavior analysis tradition of behavior therapy. A related therapy but not behavior analytic in origins is cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (McCullough, 2000).
Acceptance and commitment therapyMain article: Acceptance and commitment therapy
Acceptance and commitment therapy is probably the most well-researched of all the third-generation behavior therapy models. It is based on relational frame theory.[2] Originally this approach was referred to as comprehensive distancing.[3] Every practitioner mixes acceptance with a commitment to one's values. These ingredients become emeshed into the treatment in different ways which leads to ACT being either more on the mindfulness side or more on the behavior-changing side.[4] ACT has, as of October 2006, been evaluated in over 30 randomized clinical trials for a variety of client problems.[5] Overall, when compared to other active treatments designed or known to be helpful, the effect size for ACT is a Cohen's d of around 0.6,[6][7] which is considered a medium effect size.
Functional analytic psychotherapyMain article: Functional analytic psychotherapy
Functional analytic psychotherapy is based on a functional analysis of the therapeutic relationship.[8] It places a greater emphasis on the therapeutic context and returns to the use of in-session reinforcement.[9] The basic FAP analysis utilizes what is called the clinically relevant behavior (CRB1), which is the client's presenting problem as presented in-session. Client in-session actions that improve their CRB1s are referred to as CRB2s. Client statements, or verbal behavior, about CRBs are referred to as CRB3s. In general, 40 years of research supports the idea that in-session reinforcement of behavior can lead to behavioral change.[10]
Behavioral activationMain article: Behavioral activation
Behavioral activation emerged from a component analysis of cognitive behavior therapy. This research found no additive effect for the cognitive component.[11] Behavioral activation is based on a matching law model of reinforcement.[12] A recent review of the research supports the notion that the use of behavioral activation is clinically important for the treatment of depression.[13]
Integrative behavioral couples therapyMain article: Integrative behavioral couples therapy
Integrative behavioral couples therapy developed from dissatisfaction with traditional behavioral couples therapy. Integrative behavioral couples therapy looks to Skinner (1966) for the difference between contingency shaped and rule-governed behavior.[14] It couples this analysis with a thorough functional assessment of the couples relationship. Recent efforts have used radical behavioral concepts to interpret a number of clinical phenomena including forgiveness.[15]
Community reinforcement and family trainingMain article: Community reinforcement and family training
Community reinforcement and family training is a model first developed by Nathan H. Azrin and Hunt. The model focuses on the use of functional behavioral assessment to reduce drinking behavior.
Dialectical behavioral therapyMain article: Dialectical behavioral therapy
Dialectical behavioral therapy was created by Marsha Linehan. The model attempts to balance acceptance and change. It focuses on the use of behavior chain analysis, which combines the process of functional analysis with a greater focus on each element in the behavior stream. DBT uses groups to train specific social skills and other behavioral skills. DBT is a well-established treatment for borderline personality disorder.
Clinical formulationMain article: Clinical formulation
As with all behavior therapy, clinical behavior analysis relies on a functional analysis of problem behavior. Depending on the clinical model this analysis draws on B.F Skinner's model of Verbal Behavior or relational frame theory
Professional organizations
The Association for Behavior Analysis International has a special interest group in clinical behavior analysis ABA:I. ABA:I serves as the core intellectual home for behavior analysts.[16][17]
The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) also has an interest group in behavior analysis, which focuses on clinical behavior analysis
The Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences is devoted to third-generation therapies [1].
The World Assocaition for Behavior Analysis offers certification in clinical behavior therapy [2].

NASCAR dirt race tv viewership for the 2018 truck race at Eldora Speedway
A week ago, NASCAR returned to the dirt tracks. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series visited Eldora Speedway for the annual dirt track event.
View full 2018 Eldora Dirt Derby TV ratings below.
The lead up to the event at Eldora were some great weeks for the sport in regards to TV coverage. NASCAR was on a winning streak…
NASCAR on pavement
Before the rain delay at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, TV ratings were flying. NASCAR was the most watched program, two weeks in a row.
NASCAR was the most watched tv program from a total viewers standpoint on both Saturday, July 14, 2018 and Saturday, July 7th. While the ratings put them 2nd on the July 14th weekend in the 18-49 demographic they were also the highest rated show on July 7th.
July 7th
Daytona International Speedway
The July 7th event at Daytona International Speedway brought 4.22 million viewers. America's Funniest Home Videos saw 2.7 million viewers, they came in as the second most watched show of the night.
The 2018 race had a rating of 0.8 and drew 4% of the total audience in the 18-49 demographic.
2017 – Last years showing of the same race brought 5.01 million viewers. It was the only show to break the 1.0 rating share that night.
July 14th
Kentucky Speedway
The July 14th event at Kentucky Speedway drew 2.264 million viewers. It was the most watched TV show of the night, beating LIVE PD by 400,000.
However, the race from Kentucky Speedway was only rated at 0.4. That was second best to LIVE PD which drew a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
2017 – The previous year race at Kentucky had 2.7 million viewers and a 1.6 rating.
July 22nd, 2018
New Hampshire Motor Speedway
July 22nd, the NASCAR race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway saw a rain delay. However, the race was still the second most viewed show of the night. Shaq is hosting Shark Week, the show took the win with 3.1 million viewers.
2017 – NBCSN drew 3.2 million viewers and earned a 1.6 rating for Sunday's event at New Hampshire. That's down from 1.8 on the previous year's event. Though, rain delays typically hurt viewership.

AMD 2nd generation Ryzen Threadripper Launches On August 13th
AMD already announced its 32-core 64-threaded 2nd generation Ryzen Threadripper processor on Computex 2018, we also learned that this Zen+ architecture 12nm process processor will be called Ryzen Threadripper 2990X. The release date, however, was unknown.
According to website Benchlife, typically well informed, AMD would release the new processors on August 13th with two models, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990X and the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X. The 32-core Ryzen Threadripper would be the 2990X, the Ryen Threadripper 2950X is rumored to be a 24-core unit with 48 threads (crazy stuff btw, try to visualize that in the task manager displaying all these little cores) :-)
16 cores / 32 threads - helooooow. But starting August, you can multiply the above by two ;)
It is rumored that the 32-core Ryzen Threadripper 2990X would cost something in the $1,500 marker (could be a little more or less). That would bring the 24 core version at roughly $1,150 USD.
Gigabyte and MSI already seem to be working on some revamped sweetness X399 motherboards, the Aorus X399 Xtreme and MSI's X399 MEG Creation; the TDP of the 2nd generation Ryzen Threadripper processor is set at 250W. While existing X399 will support the new procs after a BIOS upgrade, for overclocking the new X399 chip motherboards are enhanced in both the power and cooling segments. Summing things up, the 32-core 2nd generation Ryzen Threadripper processor will meet and greet you, likely in mid-August.

Cloud-based ecommerce platform LemonStand this week announced year-over-year subscription bookings growth of 2,917%.
Initially launched in January 2014, the Vancouver-based solution also announced the appointment of ecommerce and software executives Ross Paul and Bruce Alderson as VP of Growth and CTO, respectively.
"While we are still young and have more work to do to mature our platform, feedback from our customers and partners around the world has reinforced our belief that one size does not fit all," says LemonStand CEO Danny Halarewich."We're building a leadership team that's focused on executing our mission to help ecommerce brands stand out from the sea of carboncopy online stores, and optimize the shopping experience from end to end using our platform's unmatched customization features."
Paul will become a focal point for driving all strategic growth efforts across LemonStand as the company begins to scale its early customer base.
"I'm excited to tackle the big gap that exists between the myriad of solutions that are good enough for small DIY lifestyle businesses and the expensive, overly complex enterprise solutions for large businesses," said Paul.
Alderson will lead LemonStand's engineering and UX teams.
"Our opportunity and challenge is to build beautiful software that designers and developers can work with on their own terms without adding unnecessary overheads for entrepreneurs and their employees to run and grow their online stores," added Alderson.
Ottawa-born competitor Shopify recently filed for an IPO.

- Silicon Valley has always been about the future, not the present – and never the past…As we grow further and further away from that early era, we are also losing our connection to the factors that made the Valley great. That is a dangerous thing, because we risk also losing those factors that have been the real engines of our success…In that recovered knowledge may lie the key to the future
Key Takeaways
- Isolation from the east coast social hierarchy, rules, and processes and the acceptance of failure allowed Silicon Valley to experiment, fail, and flourish
- It was the wild west with unbridled ambition
- HP men had "an unusual sensitivity to the feelings of others." This is what made all the difference – value pricing, finest management, created the playbook that others ran
- Shockley – able to distill problems without getting confused by extraneous stuff, but was a terrible manager.
- Noyce was the opposite – trusting, respect, decency, equality. Knew he needed to be liked, so he surrounded himself with tough lieutenants
- Valentine organized Fairchild by markets which ripped open the ability to grow and expand for the company – 4 little independent companies inside Fairchild – each had its own sales, product marketing, engineering, and even advertising and legal departments
- Intel – social engineering, paradox, giant research team, perfect triumvirate with Moore, Noyce, Grove
- Shannon had pulled off something remarkable; he had linked the controllable behavior of machines with a system of logic that encompassed all science, perhaps even all human thought. The Age of Computers had begun – and hard on its heels the rise of information theory, the great organizer of the postwar world
- Recessions have proven over and again that they are boon times for entrepreneurs
- IBM Fellowships were used to keep top talent around (IBM's velvet trap)
- Activision – Levy listed the game designers' names on the cartridges, he announced them on television ads. The expected happened: certain top designers actually gained a following, a steady, loyal cadre of fans who could be relied upon to buy each new offering by that "author." What's more, despite their vulnerability to head hunters, these ego-satiated designers remained loyal to Activision
- When business is good, anything goes
- Incredible retelling of Jobs/Woz/Apple
- Jobs' most important contribution to Apple: his dead-eye accuracy at understanding precisely what his generation thought of itself and then playing that tune in perfect pitch
- Reformers and revolutionaries, by eschewing long established and long verified rules of conduct, often slip into behavior far worse than that which they once derided
What I got out of it
- Inspiring, energizing, informative, important. Makes you want to get out and build one of these firms that influences not only its customers, but the way business is done

Before we complete the interior of the church structure, with the altar, let us explore some of the areas of the church which are more behind the scenes or outside. In this post we will discuss the Chapter Room. Behind the apse, or sometime underneath it, may be a chapel-sized room where the priests or nuns meet. In addition to side doors leading to this area, there may be grated openings between the chapter room and the main church. This allows sound to pass between the adjoining areas.
The function of the chapter room is for the priests or nuns to gather for their daily devotional studies, singing and prayers. Literally, this is where they would read the chapters of scriptures according to the daily church calendar. Rarely will you, as a member of the congregation, or tourist, be allowed to enter the chapter room. However, if you visit a protestant cathedral you may see a hint of this in the choir, which became situated between the altar and the apse.
On our last evening in Rome, we went to Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini for a tour of the church and concert of Renaissance music. The first half of the program was in the main sanctuary. For the second half, we were taken back into the chapter room.
What a difference the size and building material of the room made. The main structure of the church, moderate in size, was constructed of stone and plaster, with several side chapels. The chapter room, much smaller in volume had mostly wood-paneled walls and a barrel vault ceiling. The nave provided much more space for the music to resonate, while the chapter room provided a warmer tone as all that wood picked up the notes.
I recall a couple of other visits to church in which the chapter room factored in the ambiance, though I never saw the room. This is the function of those grated openings between the chapter room and the sanctuary. During a trip in Tuscany some years ago, we spotted a hill-town about lunch time. We thought that we could find a local shop for some bread, cheese, and sliced meat. We parked outside the walls of the town and walked in through a gate in the wall.
As we entered we noticed a church. We entered it out of curiosity. As our eyes became accustomed to the natural lighting inside, we became aware of music. I thought that such a remote church having continuously running music was odd, given the infrequency of tours stopping by. Then I realized. The priests were in the chapter room, carrying on their daily prayers and hymns. How easily angels could have been projected in that space, were we receptive.

How to Apply Tinted Moisturizer
Hello, I'm Patricia Longo and I'm a celebrity makeup artist. I've worked with models from Sports Illustrated, like Brooklyn Decker and Julie Henderson to Al Baldwin at Thirty Rock. All those things that experts do that the average person doesn't know how to do, we'll learn how to do it on these videos. I usually recommend to do tinted moisturizer in the summertime when you want something light. And also if you don't wear makeup and you want just a little bit of color, and you have nice skin and you don't need a lot of coverage to do tinted moisturizer is great. And really the best way to put tinted moisturizer on is just like putting moisturizer on. So this is a illuminated tinted moisturizer from Stila. I put a little tiny dime size, Subella [sp] has beautiful skin and I don't want to use to much color. So this is a tinted moisturizer that has a little bit of shimmer in it. And what I'm doing is I'm blending it I'm mixing it, and I'm dabbing it into the skin, just like I did with primer and your moisturizer. And if she wanted to go out with just primer and tinted moisturizer she could. But I always suggest a small, tiny, dime size very little. On the nose, you can really get in there get into the skin. Blend it right in there. And there you have your tinted moisturizer.

So you had a great holiday and had a chance to clear your head and rediscover a little about what you want to achieve for 2019. You headed back to work in this stinking heat (or freezing cold if your on the other side of the world) and bamm… you have hit a wall.
The new year overwhelm wall is very real. Not only are you up against all your own expectations you are also slamming into others new expectations as well. Maybe your boss came back with 3 new projects for you to tackle. Maybe like me you suddenly realised that you still have nearly 4 wks of school holidays and therefore nothings getting done in a hurry.
Don't despair and give up. This is all very normal. Take a deep couple of breaths and get your paper out and jot down again the things from your own list for this year that are important to you. You still have 11 1/2 months to achieve these. They are not there to be conquered in a day.
Remember that there is a phenomina that happens to goals that are written that means that they have a much higher chance of being achieved. Take a look at them again and commit them to your soul. Then have a think about which one you want to tackle first. There is always a favourite.
What one thing could you do on that goal this week to get you some forward momentum? You will feel great when that gets achieved. So what will it be? A first workout, blog, video, research into how to make something/create something. A roadmap for the year towards a goal or a phone call. Whatever it is be specific so you can check it off once its achieved and reward yourself.
The best way to create a new habit is when it leads to a desired reward. Make it something nice. My friend Kate has a list of rewards. Things she would like. Things like a massage or coffee with a friend or to watch a movie. It can be simple or complex. Then before you begin your task choose from your list what the reward would be and make sure you stop and take the reward when its achieved.
This will stop you reaching the end of the year having just worked and done stuff all year long and had no fun and no feeling of achieved success along the way. I also guarantee that as you check things off and reward yourself it will build the momentum you need to see your goal achieved or at the very least well on the way to achievement by the end of the year.
Don't give up. Seek a good friend or coach who also wants to see you succeed. Communicate with them and be real with where you are at. Let them encourage and motivate you. You know you want to achieve things and they will be your cheer squad and in some instances the task master who will keep you on track towards where you want to go.
So remember deep breaths. It helps with the anxiousness and overwhelm. Count to 5 and take a step. You will be on your way again in no time. Take heart my friend. You are not alone in this walk.

ClearOS 8 another language and framework?
Hi community,
A while ago the dev of ClearOS was thinking of moving to another framework and move away from PHP. He wanted to use Cockpit which uses a Javascript framework. I'm not sure if this path already is chosen for ClearOS 8 but how is the Tiki community thinking of this change? Maybe plans already has changed I'm not sure what the CEO of ClearCenter is thinking on this matter.

Saturn ION Red Line Supercharges Sport Compact Market
Affirming its intention to create expressive performance-tuned vehicles, Saturn announced the production version of the ION Red Line at the International Auto Salon.
"The 2004 ION Red Line will introduce Saturn to sport compact enthusiasts," said Jill Lajdziak, Saturn vice president for sales, service and marketing. "We have pulled no punches with the ION Red Line. It's a serious performance vehicle."
Production of the ION Red Line is scheduled to begin in early 2004.
"Performance-tuned vehicles are an important component of Saturn's expanding portfolio," said Lajdziak. "Saturn vehicles inspire fun while driving. And while the ION Red Line delivers a unique driving experience, it does so in different ways."
Highlights of the ION Red Line include:
- 2.0-liter, supercharged and intercooled version of the Ecotec four-cylinder engine
- Five-speed transmission with increased torque capacity, close ratio gearing and short-throw shifter
- Beefier, equal-length halfshafts
- High-flow, performance-tuned exhaust and air induction system
- Large four-wheel disc brakes (with standard ABS)
- Racetrack-bred suspension tuning, including revised springs, shocks, bushings and stabilizer bars
- 17 x 7 inch, five-spoke forged alloy wheels
- Continental 215/45 W-rated performance tires
- 10-mm lower ride height
- Unique front and rear fascias, rocker moldings and a family of available rear wings
- Performance front seats and steering wheel
"The supercharger provides instant response and a dramatic feeling of performance when you're behind the wheel," said Doug Parks, ION chief engineer. "But the Red Line is not simply an ION with more power. From its visual features, such as the aggressive wheels, to components you can't see, like the equal-length drive shafts, which are used to limit torque steer, it's a comprehensive package developed to recast the entire car in a performance mold."
In addition to outstanding performance, ION Red Line incorporates many technological firsts for Saturn, including the supercharger, an air-to-water intercooler and the use of electronic throttle control (ETC). ETC utilizes an electronic signal, rather than a traditional cable between the gas pedal and engine, for immediate throttle response.
"ION Red Line is a street car that is also at home on the racetrack," said Parks. "Customers have told us that ride-and-handling is their favorite attribute of ION; with the Red Line we've built on that strength."
Inspired by the "tuner" cars popularized in Southern California, ION Red Line was developed with assistance from the GM Performance Division, an in-house center designed to explore potential enthusiast-oriented versions of production models.
"The ION Red Line was designed for enthusiasts seeking a ready performance vehicle," said John Heinricy, GM Performance Division director. "The base ION was systematically enhanced to deliver uncompromising performance, function and style – traits that will make it extremely competitive in the sport compact market."
Engine, cooling and exhaust
An Eaton helical Roots supercharger was selected because of the immediacy of its horsepower delivery and its relative ease of implementation. Engineers also added an air-to-water intercooler to reduce the temperature of air entering the engine. This cooler air enhances the effectiveness of the supercharger. In the Red Line, the supercharger and intercooler system produces a maximum boost level of 12 pounds.
"The supercharger provides instant power," said Tracy Thueme, ION Red Line program engineering manager. "Coupling the supercharger with an air-to-water intercooler was a simple, effective way to build even more horsepower. "
Engineers did not simply add a supercharger and intercooler to the existing ION 2.2L Ecotec engine. The Red Line engine is a special 2.0L Ecotec engine, built with lower-compression pistons and other components necessary to handle the unique requirements of a supercharged application. A high-flow air intake and a high-flow exhaust manifold are tuned to move air quickly through the engine. Along with the new engine, the vehicle's cooling system is upgraded with a larger radiator core and larger cooling fans.
When it came to exhaust, engineers maintained the "move air quickly" ideal with a 2.25-inch exhaust system that incorporates a low restriction catalytic converter and low restriction muffler. The system lowers backpressure from the engine, enhancing the performance of the supercharged engine and giving the ION Red Line a distinct note from its large, chromed exhaust tip.
Transmission and driveline
The five-speed manual transmission is new to the Red Line and has a higher torque capacity to withstand the increase in output from the engine. Its gear ratios were selected specifically for this application. The gears are spaced in even increments to keep the engine in its "sweet spot" between shifts. A short-throw shifter quickens the shifts and provides a more positive feel, too. The shifter's travel is approximately 1 inch shorter than the shifter found in standard ION models.
Another heavy-duty item is the Red Line's driveline, which has a higher torque capacity than a standard ION driveline. Equal length half shafts are utilized to limit the tendency of torque steer in this powerful, front-drive application. A final drive ratio of 4.05:1 was selected to complement the supercharged engine's power.
ION Red Line is the first ION to feature four-wheel disc brakes. The front disc rotors measure 11.6 inches in diameter, which is approximately 1 inch larger than the rotors on standard ION models. Along with the larger rotors, engineers incorporated larger, five-bolt wheel hubs, brake calipers and brake pads. The larger calipers and brake pads allow greater braking capacity and are proven performance parts found in other high-performance GM vehicles.
The rear disc brake rotors measure 10.6 inches in diameter. They are mounted on an all-new rear axle assembly that incorporates revised suspension geometry.
Suspension tuning is being refined on the racetrack, including spring rates, bushing rates and stabilizer bar size. The rear shocks are larger in diameter than those found on a standard ION, and the Red Line has a 10-mm reduced ride height.
Connecting the Red Line to the road is a set of Continental 215/45 W-rated performance tires mounted to 17 x 7 inch, six-spoke forged alloy wheels. Forged alloy wheels are stronger than cast alloy wheels that are typically found on production vehicles.
Additionally, ION's electric power steering efforts have been tuned for the Red Line to provide increased driver feedback.
The Red Line's expressive exterior styling complements the performance built into the vehicle. All-new front and rear fascias were designed by GM Performance Division's Kip Wasenko. The front fascia features a large, deep air inlet and the rear fascia has a cut-out for the large, chromed exhaust tip. Along with revised rocker moldings, the enhanced bodywork of the Red Line visually lowers the vehicle 1 inch.
ION Red Line comes standard with a rear spoiler, but a family of large, stylish rear wings is available. Also, a mesh-screen grille is available to further accent the vehicle. Red Line badging is located on the deck lid.
At the onset of production, ION Red Line's exterior colors will be Black, Blue or Silver.
All Red Line vehicles come with a black interior. Standard performance seats complement the sporting environment and enhance driver control. A new sport steering wheel and gearshift knob also are part of the interior package.
"When developing the ION Red Line, we built in all of the elements that are important to compact performance enthusiasts," said Thueme. "It's a comprehensive package which functions as well as it looks."

Update: Muselmaniacs pause from rioting to
say prayers curse the kafirs
But anyone who suggests that the Islamic religion might have something within it that incites violence will be charged forthwith with "bigotry," "racism" and "Islamophobia."
These are NOT political refugees and have no right to be in Europe. Deport  that scum.
Athens has seen fighting with Muslims before
(Andrew Bolt)
immigrants invaders warning the birthplace of democracy that Islam will destroy democracy? An unhelpful protest in a land which is home to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants – and where anti-Turk and anti-Muslim feelings are still so strong that no official mosque is yet allowed in Athens:
GREEK riot police have used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse Muslim protesters who clashed with officers during a rally against the American film that denigrates Islam's Prophet Mohammed…
About 600 people attended the rally, which featured heated speeches, but was mostly peaceful…. Three cars were damaged and three storefronts smashed.
Banners were displayed in English, denouncing the film and called on the US to hang the filmmaker. One told President Barack Obama "we are all with Osama", referring to Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader who was killed in a US raid in Pakistan in May 2011.
Once again: internment & mass-deportations are the only solution to save western culture and civilisation.
Paki's threaten Greeks:
Me thinks there are way too many of them.

Class 5-A football preseason preview/poll
* Favorite: Bowling Green has won two straight titles and enters the season with a state-long 27-game winning streak. The Purples lost 2016 Mr. Football winner Jamale Carothers to graduation but have plenty of weapons. Speedy senior Ziyon Kenner is one of the state's top receivers, and senior linebacker Justice Dingle (Georgia Tech commit) and sophomore cornerback Vito Tisdale (UK and U of L offers) will anchor the defense. Tisdale also will replace Carothers as the No. 1 running back.
* Not far behind: Covington Catholic is celebrating its 50th season of football and should have a successful one after returning 11 starters (six offense, five defense) from last year's 9-4 squad. Quarterback A.J. Mayer and linebacker Kameron Butler both have committed to Miami (Ohio), and fellow senior Grant Dyer is another solid linebacker.
* Sleeper: Greenwood plays in a monster district alongside Bowling Green and South Warren but returns all of its offensive starters at the skill positions and nine starters on defense. Senior Jackson Adams is the school's all-time leading rusher and could surpass last season's totals of 1,329 yards and 24 touchdowns if a new offensive line comes together.
* Top college prospect: Dingle (6 feet 2, 235 pounds) made a major impact at Bowling Green last season after transferring from Tennessee, posting 46 tackles (eight for loss), three sacks, one interception and one forced fumble and earning first-team All-State honors from The Courier-Journal. He committed to Georgia Tech after also considering Purdue.
* Three must-see games: Ryle at Covington Catholic, Aug. 18; Christian County at Owensboro, Sept. 29; South Warren at Bowling Green, Oct. 20.
Rank, team (FPV) 2016

The year was 1989. New Kids on the Block just hit it big with their single "Hangin' Tough," Richard Marx, The Bangles and Tears for Fears were the top groups of the day. Michael Keaton hit the big screen as Batman – and roller skating in Genesee County was going strong at Rollhaven in Grand Blanc. I was at the rink one evening, lacing up my skates to give it a try for the first time. My goal was to not fall immediately as I went out onto the floor. It was packed. Kids, teens and adults were whizzing past me skating forward, backward, sideways, on their heads, etc. Couples held hands while skating to songs by Warrant, Prince and Madonna. I was mesmerized by the guys roller-dancing in the center of the rink. "How are they doing that?" I thought as I crept along the railing, desperately looking for a place to merge into the stream of skaters. I found a gap that looked good for a beginner, and off I went! My friends and I spent the whole night there and had an absolute blast.
Rollhaven has been a destination for skaters and families since December, 1955. Legend has it that when the facility opened, Saginaw St. had not yet been paved and the road was a quagmire. People had to be carted up to the doors by horse and wagon to see the new rink. That didn't stop people, however, and Rollhaven became a success – and still is, 64 years later. "We're still here!" says Co-owner and Vice President, Kim Brown. "At one point, Genesee County had five skate rinks. We are one of two remaining." Rollhaven (and roller skating, in general) has seen its share of ups and downs, with the most recent coming in the recession of 2008. "The recession hit us hard, but we've come back strong in the years since. This season has been pretty good thus far," says Brown with a smile.
Kim and her husband, Dan, have owned Rollhaven since 1990 and are industry veterans. "Dan and I were competitive skaters and that's how we met – at Skateland, oddly enough," she laughs. "We competed together for 20 years. Dan is now a coach and a world class judge. We've done seminars for the Roller Skating Association and I was convention chair for a year. We have been so involved with the sport that I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this." Brown loves to see the floor filled with people all having a good time and is not afraid to say that roller skating is seeing a resurgence. "People miss it!" she exclaims. "Skating is a lifetime sport. You can start when you are little, take a break and come back to it. As long as they stay in shape, people can return after many years and fly around the rink without missing a beat."
Having fun is not the only reason people are finding their way back to the rink. Skating is a great way to stay in shape and keep moving. "Just skating at a moderate pace for an hour can burn 600 calories – I've done it," Brown shares. "My Fitbit says I tend to burn 1,000 calories or more," she adds. "We have an older gentleman who started skating with a walker and is here every week. He now skates without a walker. It's a great sport."
"People are always amazed when they realize we're
still here! Bring your kids and come skate with us."
Kim Brown, Co-owner
For those who have never skated and would like to learn, Rollhaven has four-week classes that start at the beginning of every month. They offer both beginner and advanced classes and cater to all ages, as well as speed-skating class taught by a national champion. "We have a great coach right now, but we don't have a speed-skating team," says Brown. "We would love to have one to train for competition on a national level. Speed is one of the easiest of the disciplines to get into – all you really need is a helmet and a thrill for speed!" Beginners can take private lessons to learn more advanced skills. Last year, Rollhaven produced national champions in both single and pairs events. They are always looking for talent. Roller skating is a world-recognized sport, with the World Championships taking place in France last year.
If a leisurely skate is more to your liking, Rollhaven always has a lot going on and is the most economical place in town for family recreation. Standard entry is only $7.50 and skate rental is $4. It's much less expensive than a movie and lasts much longer, not to mention the health benefits. Plus, Rollhaven has special offers such as $2 Tuesdays and kidsskatefree.com, where parents can register their child (12 and under) and for an annual $4 fee, the child receives two skating passes per week. Families all over Genesee County have taken advantage of this amazingly affordable program.
The biggest draw for kids is a Rollhaven birthday party,
which can include laser tag, a bounce house and costumed characters.
Rollhaven is open on school snow days and holidays. The facility also hosts special monthly events, including Christian Music Night that takes place on the last Monday of the month from October thru April, and scooter and hoverboard nights in February and March. In April, they host a Girl Scout All-night Skate. Rollhaven offers concessions including some really popular chicken wings and great pizza.
The biggest draw for kids, however, is a Rollhaven birthday party. The facility offers packages that include skating and skate rental, laser tag, and a bounce house and/or glow room. They also offer costumed characters, with the current most popular being L.O.L. Surprise! Dolls™ "Queen Bee" and "Diva Glitter." "We do between 800 to 1,000 parties in a year – the kids love it!" exclaims Brown. "Just bring the kids and a cake and let us provide the rest." A party typically includes postcards to mail, two-hour table time, a party coach, plates, napkins, cups, balloons, a coupon for a free return skate, ten free arcade game tokens for each child and a trip in the "Money Machine" for the birthday girl/boy. Private birthday parties can also be arranged on Sunday nights.
Rollhaven is not just for kids – there are plenty of opportunities for adults to enjoy skating. For anyone wanting to stretch their legs a bit, there is a Coffee Skate on Monday and Thursday mornings. Recently, the facility started offering an adult-only skate and of course, adults are always welcome at any time other than during private parties. Adults can watch the Flint Roller Derby compete at Rollhaven during their season, and Wednesday nights are for swing dancing with the Great Lakes Swing Dance Club (GLSDC). The GLSDC gives lessons from 6-7pm and has open dance from 7-10pm. "We have 80 to 100 people out their dancing on the floor and it's always great fun," says Brown. "They bring their own DJ and just dance!" Rollhaven also offers Zumba® on Mondays from 5:30-6:30pm.
Whether you love skating or just want to relive your childhood, Rollhaven is a great place to relax and have fun. "Probably 90 percent of our return adults are former 'Friday night kids' and they will notice that we've made some changes. It's still the same feeling, but it looks a little different," informs Brown. "Back in the day, the décor was 70s orange and brown. We've updated since then, style-wise." Laser tag was added in 1993 and has been a big hit, as well as a bounce house added in 1995 for the little ones and of course, a great arcade.
"People are always amazed when they realize we're still here. We get generations back," Brown says, smiling. "Bring your kids and come skate with us."

Journalist Roland Martin to speak at W&M's Martin Luther King commemoration
Candlelight march to take place between Wren and Sadler
Journalist Roland S. Martin will speak at William & Mary Jan. 31, 2019, as part of the university's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration.
The event, sponsored by the Center for Student Diversity and the Student Assembly, will take place in the Sadler Center's Commonwealth Auditorium from 7 to 9 p.m.
Titled "Fulfilling the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," the conversation with Martin will be moderated by Bobak Kasari, assistant to the dean of students. In January, the Center for Student Diversity will solicit questions from the campus community to be asked at the free event.
This will be the second time that Martin has helped W&M honor the life and legacy of King. He served as the speaker for the university's King commemoration in 2009.
"We are excited to have Roland Martin return back to campus," said Shené Owens, assistant director of the Center for Student Diversity. "Roland Martin was the first name to come to mind when choosing a speaker for the 2019 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration. He is a respected journalist who is also an advocate for education and a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., as was Dr. King."
"Through a moderated conversation, attendees will gain a better understanding of King's work and impact as it relations to the state of our country today."
Martin is currently the host and managing editor of the online show #RolandMartinUnfiltered, according to his website. He is also a senior analyst for the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a role he has held since 2008.
Previously, he served as a contributor for CNN and as a radio talk show host for WVON-AM in Chicago. He has also been the executive editor and general manager of the Chicago Defender, a founding news editor for Savoy Magazine, owner and publisher of Dallas-Fort Worth Heritage and managing editor of the Houston Defender and Dallas Weekly among numerous other media roles.
Martin has written three books: "Listening to the Spirit Within: 50 Perspectives on Faith"; "Speak, Brother! A Black Man's View of America"; and "The First: President Barack Obama's Road to the White House as originally reported by Roland S. Martin."
He has been named four times by Ebony Magazine as one of the 150 Most Influential African Americans in the United States. He has received myriad other accolades throughout his career, including more than 30 awards for journalistic excellence. In 2013, he was named Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalists.
Before the commemoration event, a march in honor of King will be held on campus, starting at the Wren Building at 6 p.m. The march will begin with a brief reflection on King, led by representatives from the Center for Student Diversity, Kappa Pi chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the William & Mary chapter of NAACP and the Black Student Organization. Participants will then light candles and march to the Sadler Center for the conversation with Martin.
Owens said that both events are meant to celebrate the life and legacy of King."He devoted his life advocating for equality, human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice," she said.
