# Working with Encrypted S3 Data
<!-- MACRO{toc|fromDepth=0|toDepth=2} -->
## <a name="introduction"></a> Introduction
The S3A filesystem client supports Amazon S3's Server Side Encryption
and Client Side Encryption for encrypting data at-rest.
For up to date information on the encryption mechanisms, read:
* [Protecting data using server-side encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/serv-side-encryption.html)
* [Protecting data using client-side encryption](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/UsingClientSideEncryption.html)
When configuring an encryption method in the `core-site.xml`, this will apply cluster wide.
Any new file written will be encrypted with this encryption configuration.
When the S3A client reads a file, S3 will attempt to decrypt it using the mechanism
and keys with which the file was encrypted.
* It is **NOT** advised to mix and match encryption types in a bucket.
* It is much simpler and safer to encrypt with just one type and key per bucket.
* You can use AWS bucket policies to mandate encryption rules for a bucket.
* You can use S3A per-bucket configuration to ensure that S3A clients use encryption
policies consistent with the mandated rules.
* You can use S3 Default Encryption in AWS console to encrypt data without needing to
set anything in the client.
* Changing the encryption options on the client does not change how existing
files were encrypted, except when the files are renamed.
* For all mechanisms other than SSE-C and CSE-KMS, clients do not need any configuration
options set in order to read encrypted data: it is all automatically handled
in S3 itself.
* Encryption options and secrets are collected by [S3A Delegation Tokens](delegation_tokens.html) and passed to workers during job submission.
* Encryption options and secrets MAY be stored in JCEKS files or any other Hadoop credential provider service.
This allows for more secure storage than XML files, including password protection of the secrets.
## <a name="encryption_types"></a>How data is encrypted
AWS S3 supports server-side encryption inside the storage system itself.
When an S3 client uploading data requests data to be encrypted, then an encryption key is used
to encrypt the data as it saved to S3. It remains encrypted on S3 until deleted:
clients cannot change the encryption attributes of an object once uploaded.
The Amazon AWS SDK also offers client-side encryption, in which all the encoding
and decoding of data is performed on the client.
The server-side "SSE" encryption is performed with symmetric AES256 encryption;
S3 offers different mechanisms for actually defining the key to use.
There are four key management mechanisms, which in order of simplicity of use,
are:
* S3 Default Encryption
* SSE-S3: an AES256 key is generated in S3, and saved alongside the data.
* SSE-KMS: an AES256 key is generated in S3, and encrypted with a secret key provided
by Amazon's Key Management Service, a key referenced by name in the uploading client.
* SSE-C : the client specifies an actual base64 encoded AES-256 key to be used
to encrypt and decrypt the data.
Encryption options
| type | encryption | config on write | config on read |
|-------|---------|-----------------|----------------|
| `SSE-S3` | server side, AES256 | encryption algorithm | none |
| `SSE-KMS` | server side, KMS key | key used to encrypt/decrypt | none |
| `SSE-C` | server side, custom key | encryption algorithm and secret | encryption algorithm and secret |
| `CSE-KMS` | client side, KMS key | encryption algorithm and key ID | encryption algorithm |
With server-side encryption, the data is uploaded to S3 unencrypted (but wrapped by the HTTPS
encryption channel).
The data is encrypted in the S3 store and decrypted when it's being retrieved.
A server side algorithm can be enabled by default for a bucket, so that
whenever data is uploaded unencrypted a default encryption algorithm is added.
When data is encrypted with S3-SSE or SSE-KMS it is transparent to all clients
downloading the data.
SSE-C is different in that every client must know the secret key needed to decypt the data.
Working with SSE-C data is harder because every client must be configured to
use the algorithm and supply the key. In particular, it is very hard to mix
SSE-C encrypted objects in the same S3 bucket with objects encrypted with
other algorithms or unencrypted; The S3A client (and other applications) get
very confused.
KMS-based key encryption is powerful as access to a key can be restricted to
specific users/IAM roles. However, use of the key is billed and can be
throttled. Furthermore as a client seeks around a file, the KMS key *may* be
used multiple times.
S3 Client side encryption (CSE-KMS) is an experimental feature added in July
2021.
This encrypts the data on the client, before transmitting to S3, where it is
stored encrypted. The data is unencrypted after downloading when it is being
read back.
In CSE-KMS, the ID of an AWS-KMS key is provided to the S3A client;
the client communicates with AWS-KMS to request a new encryption key, which
KMS returns along with the same key encrypted with the KMS key.
The S3 client encrypts the payload *and* attaches the KMS-encrypted version
of the key as a header to the object.
When downloading data, this header is extracted, passed to AWS KMS, and,
if the client has the appropriate permissions, the symmetric key is
retrieved.
This key is then used to decode the data.
## <a name="sse-s3"></a> S3 Default Encryption
This feature allows the administrators of the AWS account to set the "default"
encryption policy on a bucket -the encryption to use if the client does
not explicitly declare an encryption algorithm.
[S3 Default Encryption for S3 Buckets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/bucket-encryption.html)
This supports SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS.
There is no need to set anything up in the client: do it in the AWS console.
## <a name="sse-s3"></a> SSE-S3 Amazon S3-Managed Encryption Keys
In SSE-S3, all keys and secrets are managed inside S3. This is the simplest encryption mechanism.
There is no extra cost for storing data with this option.
### Enabling SSE-S3
To write S3-SSE encrypted files, the value of
`fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm` must be set to that of
the encryption mechanism used in `core-site`; currently only `AES256` is supported.
```xml
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm</name>
<value>AES256</value>
</property>
```
Once set, all new data will be stored encrypted. There is no need to set this property when downloading data — the data will be automatically decrypted when read using
the Amazon S3-managed key.
To learn more, refer to
[Protecting Data Using Server-Side Encryption with Amazon S3-Managed Encryption Keys (SSE-S3) in AWS documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingServerSideEncryption.html).
### <a name="sse-kms"></a> SSE-KMS: Server-Encryption with KMS Managed Encryption Keys
Amazon offers a pay-per-use key management service, [AWS KMS](https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/kms/).
This service can be used to encrypt data on S3 by defining "customer master keys", CMKs,
which can be centrally managed and assigned to specific roles and IAM accounts.
The AWS KMS [can be used encrypt data on S3uploaded data](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/services-s3.html).
> The AWS KMS service is **not** related to the Key Management Service built into Hadoop (*Hadoop KMS*). The *Hadoop KMS* primarily focuses on
managing keys for *HDFS Transparent Encryption*. Similarly, HDFS encryption is unrelated to S3 data encryption.
When uploading data encrypted with SSE-KMS, the sequence is as follows.
1. The S3A client must declare a specific CMK in the property `fs.s3a.encryption.key`, or leave
it blank to use the default configured for that region.
1. The S3A client uploads all the data as normal, now including encryption information.
1. The S3 service encrypts the data with a symmetric key unique to the new object.
1. The S3 service retrieves the chosen CMK key from the KMS service, and, if the user has
the right to use it, uses it to encrypt the object-specific key.
When downloading SSE-KMS encrypted data, the sequence is as follows
1. The S3A client issues an HTTP GET request to read the data.
1. S3 sees that the data was encrypted with SSE-KMS, and looks up the specific key in the KMS service
1. If and only if the requesting user has been granted permission to use the CMS key does
the KMS service provide S3 with the key.
1. As a result, S3 will only decode the data if the user has been granted access to the key.
KMS keys can be managed by an organization's administrators in AWS, including
having access permissions assigned and removed from specific users, groups, and IAM roles.
Only those "principals" with granted rights to a key may access it,
hence only they may encrypt data with the key, *and decrypt data encrypted with it*.
This allows KMS to be used to provide a cryptographically secure access control mechanism for data stores on S3.
Each KMS server is region specific, and accordingly, so is each CMK configured.
A CMK defined in one region cannot be used with an S3 bucket in a different region.
Notes
* Callers are charged for every use of a key, both for encrypting the data in uploads
and for decrypting it when reading it back.
* Random-access IO on files may result in multiple GET requests of an object during a read
sequence (especially for columnar data), so may require more than one key retrieval to process a single file,
* The KMS service is throttled: too many requests may cause requests to fail.
* As well as incurring charges, heavy I/O *may* reach IO limits for a customer. If those limits are reached,
they can be increased through the AWS console.
### Enabling SSE-KMS
To enable SSE-KMS, the property `fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm` must be set to `SSE-KMS` in `core-site`:
```xml
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm</name>
<value>SSE-KMS</value>
</property>
```
The ID of the specific key used to encrypt the data should also be set in the property `fs.s3a.encryption.key`:
```xml
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.encryption.key</name>
<value>arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:360379543683:key/071a86ff-8881-4ba0-9230-95af6d01ca01</value>
</property>
```
Organizations may define a default key in the Amazon KMS; if a default key is set,
then it will be used whenever SSE-KMS encryption is chosen and the value of `fs.s3a.encryption.key` is empty.
### the S3A `fs.s3a.encryption.key` key only affects created files
With SSE-KMS, the S3A client option `fs.s3a.encryption.key` sets the
key to be used when new files are created. When reading files, this key,
and indeed the value of `fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm` is ignored:
S3 will attempt to retrieve the key and decrypt the file based on the create-time settings.
This means that
* There's no need to configure any client simply reading data.
* It is possible for a client to read data encrypted with one KMS key, and
write it with another.
## <a name="sse-c"></a> SSE-C: Server side encryption with a client-supplied key.
In SSE-C, the client supplies the secret key needed to read and write data.
Every client trying to read or write data must be configured with the same
secret key.
SSE-C integration with Hadoop is still stabilizing; issues related to it are still surfacing.
It is already clear that SSE-C with a common key <b>must</b> be used exclusively within
a bucket if it is to be used at all. This is the only way to ensure that path and
directory listings do not fail with "Bad Request" errors.
### Enabling SSE-C
To use SSE-C, the configuration option `fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm`
must be set to `SSE-C`, and a base-64 encoding of the key placed in
`fs.s3a.encryption.key`.
```xml
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm</name>
<value>SSE-C</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.encryption.key</name>
<value>SGVscCwgSSdtIHRyYXBwZWQgaW5zaWRlIGEgYmFzZS02NC1jb2RlYyE=</value>
</property>
```
All clients must share this same key.
### The `fs.s3a.encryption.key` value is used to read and write data
With SSE-C, the S3A client option `fs.s3a.encryption.key` sets the
key to be used for both reading *and* writing data.
When reading any file written with SSE-C, the same key must be set
in the property `fs.s3a.encryption.key`.
This is unlike SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS, where the information needed to
decode data is kept in AWS infrastructure.
### SSE-C Warning
You need to fully understand how SSE-C works in the S3
environment before using this encryption type. Please refer to the Server Side
Encryption documentation available from AWS. SSE-C is only recommended for
advanced users with advanced encryption use cases. Failure to properly manage
encryption keys can cause data loss. Currently, the AWS S3 API(and thus S3A)
only supports one encryption key and cannot support decrypting objects during
moves under a previous key to a new destination. It is **NOT** advised to use
multiple encryption keys in a bucket, and is recommended to use one key per
bucket and to not change this key. This is due to when a request is made to S3,
the actual encryption key must be provided to decrypt the object and access the
metadata. Since only one encryption key can be provided at a time, S3A will not
pass the correct encryption key to decrypt the data.
## <a name="best_practises"></a> Encryption best practises
### <a name="bucket_policy"></a> Mandate encryption through policies
Because it is up to the clients to enable encryption on new objects, all clients
must be correctly configured in order to guarantee that data is encrypted.
To mandate that all data uploaded to a bucket is encrypted,
you can set a [bucket policy](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-prevent-uploads-of-unencrypted-objects-to-amazon-s3/)
declaring that clients must provide encryption information with all data uploaded.
* Mandating an encryption mechanism on newly uploaded data does not encrypt existing data; existing data will retain whatever encryption (if any) applied at the time of creation*
Here is a policy to mandate `SSE-S3/AES265` encryption on all data uploaded to a bucket. This covers uploads as well as the copy operations which take place when file/directory rename operations are mimicked.
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "EncryptionPolicy",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "RequireEncryptionHeaderOnPut",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET/*",
"Condition": {
"Null": {
"s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption": true
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "RequireAESEncryptionOnPut",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET/*",
"Condition": {
"StringNotEquals": {
"s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption": "AES256"
}
}
}
]
}
```
To use SSE-KMS, a different restriction must be defined:
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "EncryptionPolicy",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "RequireEncryptionHeaderOnPut",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET/*",
"Condition": {
"Null": {
"s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption": true
}
}
},
{
"Sid": "RequireKMSEncryptionOnPut",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": [
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET/*",
"Condition": {
"StringNotEquals": {
"s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption": "SSE-KMS"
}
}
}
]
}
```
To use one of these policies:
1. Replace `BUCKET` with the specific name of the bucket being secured.
1. Locate the bucket in the AWS console [S3 section](https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home).
1. Select the "Permissions" tab.
1. Select the "Bucket Policy" tab in the permissions section.
1. Paste the edited policy into the form.
1. Save the policy.
### <a name="per_bucket_config"></a> Use S3a per-bucket configuration to control encryption settings
In an organisation which has embraced S3 encryption, different buckets inevitably have
different encryption policies, such as different keys for SSE-KMS encryption.
In particular, as different keys need to be named for different regions, unless
you rely on the administrator-managed "default" key for each S3 region, you
will need unique keys.
S3A's per-bucket configuration enables this.
Here, for example, are settings for a bucket in London, `london-stats`:
```xml
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.bucket.london-stats.server-side-encryption-algorithm</name>
<value>AES256</value>
</property>
```
This requests SSE-S; if matched with a bucket policy then all data will
be encrypted as it is uploaded.
A different bucket can use a different policy
(here SSE-KMS) and, when necessary, declare a key.
Here is an example bucket in S3 Ireland, which uses SSE-KMS and
a KMS key hosted in the AWS-KMS service in the same region.
```xml
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.bucket.ireland-dev.server-side-encryption-algorithm</name>
<value>SSE-KMS</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>fs.s3a.bucket.ireland-dev.server-side-encryption.key</name>
<value>arn:aws:kms:eu-west-1:98067faff834c:key/071a86ff-8881-4ba0-9230-95af6d01ca01</value>
</property>
```
Again the appropriate bucket policy can be used to guarantee that all callers
will use SSE-KMS; they can even mandate the name of the key used to encrypt
the data, so guaranteeing that access to thee data can be read by everyone
granted access to that key, and nobody without access to it.
### <a name="fattr"></a> Using `hadoop fs -getfattr` to view encryption information.
The S3A client retrieves all HTTP headers from an object and returns
them in the "XAttr" list of attributed, prefixed with `header.`.
This makes them retrievable in the `getXAttr()` API calls, which
is available on the command line through the `hadoop fs -getfattr -d` command.
This makes viewing the encryption headers of a file straightforward.
Here is an example of the operation invoked on a file where the client is using CSE-KMS:
```
bin/hadoop fs -getfattr -d s3a://test-london/file2
2021-07-14 12:59:01,554 [main] WARN s3.AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2 (AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2.java:warnOnLegacyCryptoMode(409)) - The S3 Encryption Client is configured to read encrypted data with legacy encryption modes through the CryptoMode setting. If you don't have objects encrypted with these legacy modes, you should disable support for them to enhance security. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_sdk_cryptography.html

Analysis
1. The WARN commands are the AWS SDK warning that because the S3A client uses
an encryption algorithm which seek() requires, the SDK considers it less
secure than the most recent algorithm(s). Ignore.
* `header.x-amz-server-side-encryption="AES256"` : the file has been encrypted with S3-SSE. This is set up as the S3 default encryption,
so even when CSE is enabled, the data is doubly encrypted.
* `header.x-amz-cek-alg="AES/GCM/NoPadding`: client-side encrypted with the `"AES/GCM/NoPadding` algorithm.
* `header.x-amz-iv="ZfrgtxvcR41yNVkw"`:
* `header.x-amz-key-v2="AQIDAHjZrfEIkNG24/xy/pqPPLcLJulg+O5pLgbag/745OH4VQFuiRnSS5sOfqXJyIa4FOvNAAAAfjB8BgkqhkiG9w0BBwagbzBtAgEAMGgGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQM7b5GZzD4eAGTC6gaAgEQgDte9Et/dhR7LAMU/NaPUZSgXWN5pRnM4hGHBiRNEVrDM+7+iotSTKxFco+VdBAzwFZfHjn0DOoSZEukNw=="`:
* `header.x-amz-unencrypted-content-length="0"`: this is the length of the unencrypted data. The S3A client *DOES NOT* use this header;
* `header.x-amz-wrap-alg="kms+context"`: the algorithm used to encrypt the CSE key
it always removes 16 bytes from non-empty files when declaring the length.
* `header.x-amz-version-id="zXccFCB9eICszFgqv_paG1pzaUKY09Xa"`: the bucket is versioned; this is the version ID.
And a directory encrypted with S3-SSE only:
```
bin/hadoop fs -getfattr -d s3a://test-london/user/stevel/target/test/data/sOCOsNgEjv
# file: s3a://test-london/user/stevel/target/test/data/sOCOsNgEjv

```
A file with no-encryption (on a bucket without versioning but with intelligent tiering):

```
###<a name="changing-encryption"></a> Use `rename()` to encrypt files with new keys
The encryption of an object is set when it is uploaded. If you want to encrypt
an unencrypted file, or change the SEE-KMS key of a file, the only way to do
so is by copying the object.
How can you do that from Hadoop? With `rename()`.
The S3A client mimics a real filesystem's' rename operation by copying all the
source files to the destination paths, then deleting the old ones.
Note: this does not work for SSE-C, because you cannot set a different key
for reading as for writing, and you must supply that key for reading. There
you need to copy one bucket to a different bucket, one with a different key.
Use `distCp`for this, with per-bucket encryption policies.
## <a name="cse"></a> Amazon S3 Client Side Encryption
### Introduction
Amazon S3 Client Side Encryption(S3-CSE), is used to encrypt data on the
client-side and then transmit it over to S3 storage. The same encrypted data
is then transmitted over to client while reading and then
decrypted on the client-side.
S3-CSE, uses `AmazonS3EncryptionClientV2.java` as the AmazonS3 client. The
encryption and decryption is done by AWS SDK. As of July 2021, Only CSE-KMS
method is supported.
A key reason this feature (HADOOP-13887) has been unavailable for a long time
is that the AWS S3 client pads uploaded objects with a 16 byte footer. This
meant that files were shorter when being read than when are listed them
through any of the list API calls/getFileStatus(). Which broke many
applications, including anything seeking near the end of a file to read a
footer, as ORC and Parquet do.
There is now a workaround: compensate for the footer in listings when CSE is enabled.
- When listing files and directories, 16 bytes are subtracted from the length
of all non-empty objects( greater than or equal to 16 bytes).
- Directory markers MAY be longer than 0 bytes long.
This "appears" to work; secondly it does in the testing as of July 2021. However
, the length of files when listed through the S3A client is now going to be
shorter than the length of files listed with other clients -including S3A
clients where S3-CSE has not been enabled.
### Features
- Supports client side encryption with keys managed in AWS KMS.
- encryption settings propagated into jobs through any issued delegation tokens.
- encryption information stored as headers in the uploaded object.
### Limitations
- Performance will be reduced. All encrypt/decrypt is now being done on the
client.
- Writing files may be slower, as only a single block can be encrypted and
uploaded at a time.
- Multipart Uploader API disabled.
- S3 Select is not supported.
- Multipart uploads would be serial, and partSize must be a multiple of 16
bytes.
- maximum message size in bytes that can be encrypted under this mode is
2^36-32, or ~64G, due to the security limitation of AES/GCM as recommended by
NIST.
### Setup
- Generate an AWS KMS Key ID from AWS console for your bucket, with same
region as the storage bucket.
- If already created, [view the kms key ID by these steps.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/find-cmk-id-arn.html)
- Set `fs.s3a.encryption.algorithm=CSE-KMS`.
- Set `fs.s3a.encryption.key=<KMS_KEY_ID>`.
KMS_KEY_ID:
Identifies the symmetric CMK that encrypts the data key.
To specify a CMK, use its key ID, key ARN, alias name, or alias ARN. When
using an alias name, prefix it with "alias/". To specify a CMK in a
different AWS account, you must use the key ARN or alias ARN.
For example:
- Key ID: `1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab`

Well I don' t know what to post about today.
Didn't sleep worth a dang.
Wife gone to the gym.
Gotta take Sheba the itcher to the vet again.
Everybody easily guessed my "what is it?" picture yesterday.
I shouldn't even bother posting this.
You should patent a T-shirt with that on it, if there's not one already. Coffee Is My Only Friend, I mean. Not the crab.
I feel much better after making the blog rounds this morning.
Not a nice day, is it. Take Sheba for some sea bathing every so often. It can help with itchy skin. If you have her on kibbles, throw that out and give her some food without grains and put crushed raw garlic in it. It does wonders for a dog's itchy skin. Next time, post a photo that doesn't look like anything. Nobody will guess that right. I'm tellin' ya…get off that gluten. You'll sleep better. Now, that I've nagged you, I hope you have a better afternoon than you did morning.
Och, you poor baby, I'm you're friend, you should come recuperate from life's ill's over here, for a bit (I'll make up the shed for you).
Blast, I'm not the only one crabby then!I hope you feel better soon mate. | {

Q: how much bigger is a 24" monitor compared to a 20"? Silly question I know, but I just want to know how to measure it.
I believe the measurement is taken diagonally? i.e. from the bottom left to the top right corner of the monitor?
A: It depends on whether you are referring to CRT or LCD.
Back in the dark days of yore where we are all just mindless cretins, monitor manufacturers upped the number games by marketing their monitors as 15", 17", etc... and the measurement (diagonally) includes the monitor bezel.
With the rise of the Internet (and hence, the proletariats), monitor manufacturers when they state the dimensions, are now officially measuring just the visible diagonal width of only the screen itself, and does not include the bezel anymore. This is to ensure the senior management does not get lynched by mobs.
A: Diagonal is correct.
A: the size of the estate also depends on the screen format (e.g. 16x9 or 16x10)

Dog socks might seem a little silly; after all, dogs are animals, and animals don't need shoes, right? In reality, socks for dogs are actually quite useful. They keep those adorable little (or big) paws warm when the weather gets cold, they shield them from hot surfaces, and they can even protect them from snow, ice, and other surfaces that could potentially injury your furry friend's feet. If your dog has reached his golden years and he's having difficulty maintaining his balance, or your pooch is suffering from joint issues, non-slip dog socks can help your canine companion keep his footing.
The benefits of socks for dogs are similar to the benefits of dog boots; however, there are a few differences. Socks are thinner, so they tend to be more comfortable, which means they can be worn extended periods of time. And, because they're thinner, they're easier to get on, making them ideal for dogs that tend to argue about wearing boots.
Given the benefits of dog socks, they're definitely worth the investment. But, like so many products for dogs, there are so many different options available, which can make it hard to choose the best option. To help you on your quest for finding the best socks for dogs, we've done some pretty extensive research and have compiled a list of what we believe to be the top five dog socks.

Many pet parents might think that socks for dogs are a flashy purchase that really isn't necessary; assuming that they're nothing more than an accessory, like hair bows or bow ties. While sure, dog socks are, in fact, an accessory and they will certainly add to the cuteness of your pet, they're actually very useful and are a practical purchase.
In this section of our review, we'll discuss the benefits of dog socks and share some factors that you should take into consideration when purchasing a pair for your pooch.
It goes without saying that dog socks will keep your pet's feet warm, so whether his feet tend to be cold all the time or you just want to keep them roasty toasty when the temperatures drop, dog socks can be extremely useful.
Socks for dogs can also provide your pup with some stability; especially those that have a non-skid sole. They can prevent your dog from slipping and sliding on slippery surfaces, like hardwood and tiled floors.
You'll be able to shield your pet's feet from cold and hot surfaces, as well as jagged surfaces when he's walking when he's wearing a pair of socks.
Joint relief. If your pup suffers from joint issues, having him wear a pair of dog socks can help. They provide a bit of extra cushioning and can absorb some of the shock while walking, which can help to minimize the pain that your pet is experiencing.
In addition to being able to take advantage of all of these benefits, there's another reason why you should consider purchasing socks for your do: they're just so darn cute! There's really nothing cuter than seeing a dog walking around n a pair of socks!
The fit; make sure to measure your dog's feet.
The design; non-slip bottoms provide traction control and can prevent sliding around and injuries.
The style; while it might not affect the function of the sock, it's important to consider the style to ensure that your pooch is wearing something you actually like. | {

What it looks like when people say YES to being taken to an undisclosed location in an unmarked white van to do undisclosed things
This past weekend I participated in one of my favorite things to do, both as a participant and as a facilitator. Husband and I ran one of our Life of Yes! Sleepaway Camps (LOYSC).
A group of people go to an undisclosed location sans phones, tablets, and laptops and sans anyone they know to do very vaguely described activities. Basically all you know is the name of the gathering, what you need to pack, and when you need to be at the pickup location. So it can take a bit (a lot) of courage to apply.
Reasons people give for attending an LOYSC are varied —
to unplug
to get away
to be in nature
to play and laugh and let go of being serious all the time
to not have to think and to have others tell me where to be when and what to do when I get there
to meet others and make new friends
to be a part of a community
to challenge myself
to find grounding
to figure out what I want to do in/want out of life
to get out of a funk/to recharge
to have me-time
As with all LOYSCs, this weekend's campers were also varied —
Single, married, divorced
City dweller, suburb dweller
Has kids, doesn't have kids; wants kids, doesn't want kids
Gimme MEAT!, vegetarian
American, from outside of America
Financial Analyst to Holistic Health Coach, Theater Director to Nurse
Three extroverts, five introverts
Three morning people, two night people, three "doesn't matter what time it is, I'm always ready to go!" people
As the ten of us journeyed through silly and serious, alone and together, laughter and tears, inside and outside, warmth and cold, noise and silence, we got to know not only each other but ourselves as well. I love that at age thirty-six I am still uncovering and discovering myself. It's scary but scary-good. Even when it's scary-bad.
And to see others have a-ha moments about themselves? Simply beautiful.
It is a truly wondrous thing to witness connections and openness blossom in such a short amount of time. During and after every LOYSC, I feel such appreciation. For people who say YES. For Husband-Best Friend. For everything and everyone who helped create the person I am today and thus helped create Mac & Cheese and the environments that allow for such blossoming.
Adults letting go, surprising themselves, and being present are beings whom inspire and fill you up…
If you think this sounds like an experience you'd to like to gift yourself or someone else, the application for the January LOYSC is here. Husband and I would love to have you on our next journey to Somewhere Magical. A lovely way to start 2015, indeed…
Oh and males, this is for you too. Don't let the estrogen-heavy photos of this LOYSC make you think otherwise. Males have also been campers. | {

Classical music concerts in Prague, in the Clam-Gallas Palace, have a nearly 300-year tradition.
The baroque decorative Clam-Gallas Palace in Prague is a masterpiece of palace architecture built by Count Gallas on the Royal Route in 1713. The building designed by an Austrian architect J. B. Fischer from Erlach gets your attention immediately thanks to two giant sculptures at the entrance. The sculptures are a creation of the famous Matyas Bernard Braun. Inside the palace is a beautiful staircase with paintings by the famous Italian artist Carlo Carlone above it, most of which were inspired by ancient mythology.
Travel back in time and experience 18th-century atmosphere of aristocratic soirees with classical music by great composers! The Gallases (later Clam-Gallases) were great admirers of art and their palace was once a lively cultural centre. Classical music concerts in the palace were conducted by some of the greatest composers like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Ludwig van Beethoven. Cultural events, such as art exhibitions, lectures and classical music concerts, are held here until today. | {

Are you planning to rest?
How much? When and Why?
We need 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to maintain a general state of health and fitness.
Sleep. It's just as essential to life as food and water. We might be able to go for longer periods of time without adequate sleep, but eventually it will catch up with us, and there will be a price to pay for it. We all live busy lives, but it's important to make time for sufficient hours and quality of sleep. In this series of articles on sleep, we will look at why the body needs sleep, the dangers of failing to get enough sleep, and ways to diagnose and mitigate sleep disorders.
The body uses sleep to restore energy supplies and perform critical maintenance to keep its systems functioning properly. During these rest periods, muscle damage and connecting tissue is repaired, and certain hormones are released that assist in recovery and building and repair of muscles.
If you are crushing it in the gym and just don't seem to see the results you think you should be seeing, take a look at your sleep. Exercise without adequate recovery time in the form of quality sleep will not produce results.
So what is adequate sleep? The general guideline for all adults is 7-9 hours of sleep. Research has shown that those who are engaged in physically demanding work need more sleep than those performing intellectual work. It is important to stick to a sleep routine as much as possible, going to bed and getting up at the same time each day (even on days off). This helps the body establish natural recovery and activity patterns.
The environment you create to sleep in is just as important as the number of hours you devote to sleeping. Your sleeping area should be quiet and dark. Studies have shown that even small amounts of light, like those from an alarm clock, can be enough to disrupt sleep. Put your phone or other electronics in a different room where they won't disturb you or tempt you to answer or use them. You want your sleep area to be clear of children and pets if at all possible. Use thick curtains to block out light if you are forced to sleep during non-standard hours due to things like shift work.
What happens if I don't get adequate sleep? This is somewhat tough to answer completely because we don't yet know all the effects sleep deprivation has on the body. We do know that lack of sleep causes high blood pressure, obesity, and an increased risk of development of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and some cancers. Lack of sleep can also cause you to be more susceptible to illness and take longer for you to recover from being sick. You are also more likely to injure yourself and you will take longer to recover from the injury without adequate rest.
Studies have shown that after being awake for just 17 hours your actions and reactions are akin to those of someone with a 0.05 blood alcohol content. States like New Jersey have enacted laws making it illegal to knowingly drive while tired. Numerous studies with military personnel showed rapidly decreasing ability to make sound decisions and to be effective on the battlefield as sleep deprivation increases and lack of adequate recovery and sleep time decreases.
Lack of sleep impacts your ability to remember things, can make you feel more negative, and can make you less productive and act less ethically at work.
With all this evidence, you may be convinced that you need to sleep more, but what about those who try to sleep but have physical impairments like sleep apnea that prevent them from getting quality sleep? In part two of this topic, I will detail my own experiences with sleep apnea and why it is so important to get checked out and treat it if you think you may have it.
But for now, rest up and we'll tackle that topic next week. | {

Q: How do i declare and use a C# object in an .ASPX file? i am making a website using asp.net and C# and well i got stuck at the first hurdle, i found out that to use code you use the <% %> with asp but i dont get how i would create an object of my class to use in the aspx file?
I think its syntax more than anything i cant seem to get to work.
Thanks,
Ash
A: If you need to declare a global object to be accessible everywhere in your page:
<script runat="server">
// ObjectType: Your class name
// Name: Your instance (variable) name.
ObjectType Name = new ObjectType();
</script>
If you just need a local variable:
<%
ObjectType name = new ObjectType();
name.SomeMethod();
%>
By the way, you should have good reasons for using these kind of things in ASP.NET. There are usually better ways to encapsulate user interface elements in user controls and master pages.
Side note: You can't use using directives in .aspx files. If you need to import some namespace in your code, you should add <%@ Imports Namespace="SomeNamespace" %> directives right after your <%@ Page %> directive.

Authors Talk: Paula Izydorek
We listed the wrong URL for Sunny Nestler in our newsletter. Please view her author's talk here.
Today we are pleased to feature artist Paula Izydorek as our Authors Talk series contributor. In this short video, Paula discusses five paintings from her series titled (Self) Worth, as well as her overall artistic proclivities.
Paula declares that one thing she truly enjoys about (Self) Worth is that "the image itself repeats, but the composition changes based on the wood grain," or the materials of production. While each painting is a self-portrait, they are not exclusively portraits of Paula alone; as she states, "I like to have the viewer put themselves in the place of the face that's in the abstract composition, and to review your own self-worth." That way, she emphasizes, viewers can identify with the story being expressed, and "connect with the image based on their own personal experience."
As she concludes, Paula expresses her desire that each viewer will be able to "identify with the energy around the subject, rather than get lost in the subject as a portrait." That way, she stresses, viewers will be able to use the work as a gauge to "evaluate…where you want to be with regards to your self worth."
You can view five paintings from Paula's (Self) Worth series in Issue 21 of Superstition Review.

Lucid Dreams: New Work from Rafeal Francisco Salas
January 30, 2012 January 30, 2018 Rafael Salas
Lucid Dreams, photo courtesy of Rafael Salas
If you are in Milwaukee, take time to stop by Rafael Francisco Salas' new exhibit, Lucid Dreams.
Salas describes his inspiration for the new exhibit as an exploration of "the intersection of portraiture, representation, landscape, and architecture." He feels that "historically these traditions elicit specific contextual and also visceral responses from viewers, and in combining or exploring them in oblique ways, new responses might arise."
Lucid Dreams builds on Salas' past work, which was created from an "emotional or atmospheric place […] that evoked a sense of dreams or nostalgia." Salas worked to discover how adding new elements to his paintings would change how others reflect on them. Drawing from ideas and elements seen in small towns of the Midwest (Salas's current home), Salas felt that "our current economic climate and position in the world has created an emotional [and] psychological key that complements themes I have previously explored."
Presented by Portrait Society Gallery, you can see Rafael Francisco Salas' newest creations January 20 through March 10, 2012. You can see more of Salas' artwork in Issue 8.

A Visit to the Barnhart Studio
October 30, 2011 February 19, 2018 Superstition Review
Barnhart Studio, a castle of metal and cinderblock, is tucked into a Mesa residential area. When I ring the doorbell, an unassuming man in a t-shirt opens the door: William Barnhart.
After a brief introduction, I am given a tour of the studio. William starts from the foundation of the building. From the tile work on the bathroom walls to the welding on the doors, most of the fixtures in the building are made from recycled materials, and they are all William Barnhart's handiwork.
The very studio where William works is a reminder that art sometimes requires more than a table and chisel or paintbrush. The studio resembles a mechanic's garage, a zone under construction, where a plaster sculpture waits to be completed. When I ask how long it takes to finish a project, William says, "It takes as long as it takes." He shows me the swinging cranes that lift heavy materials, the giant fan he traded a painting for, and a room he is working on.
We walk and talk, and then we sit down in his office and talk about his work and about art in general. The following is a recreation of part of our conversation:
Superstition Review: Have you worked with art galleries?
William Barnhart: I did for a time, but not anymore. Art galleries insulate the artist from the clients, because if the client and the artist are communicating, there really is no need for the art gallery. I like the communication with my clients. I can put my studio down anywhere, and my clients will come to me.
SR: That's true, you have an actual client-artist relationship. What kind of mediums and materials do you work with?
WB: I do prints, paintings, sculpture. I like working with bronze, making sculptures. You know, bronze, it'll be around for generations.
SR: I read that the sculpture you recently finished has gold on it. Do you think the value of the materials you use adds something to your work?
WB: I definitely want to use quality materials in my work. It's not necessarily the value of the materials but the quality of them.
SR: I know some artists try to make social commentary with their art. What would you say is the message you are trying to convey with your art?
WB: Social commentary is definitely not the focus of my work. I want my art to be universal, to transcend the bounds of time. It's more about relationship issues, about human emotions and the drama of the figure. It's about the human experience.
We discuss other things, such as his creative process and why he chose that particular area to place his studio. But when I take leave of William Barnhart, print-maker, designer, painter, sculptor—with "more stripes than the tigers," to use his words—what lingers most in my mind is the image of the high-domed building, the living space, the vibrant place of craft that is itself a work of art.
For more information about William Barnhart's studio and his work, visit his website.

View her photography featured in issue 7. Eleanor Bennett's Website
Christy Puetz uses beadwork as her main medium. Her 3-dimensional beaded forms have surfaces covered with colorful, organic patterns. Her current work focuses on shape-shifting. The work subtly addresses the issues of the different faces we each put forth given our current surroundings and the eventual effect it has on who we become as a whole – a conglomeration of parts of different creatures. She uses taxidermy animal forms and transforms them into creatures, not yet in existence, but in the process of changing form, color, and purpose. View her creations in issue 7. Christy Puetz's Website
Cyndy Carstens' paintings of expansive skies & infinite distances represent an ultimate freedom of the soul grounded by images beckoning sensations of breath & struggles, rest & trials. Subject matter fluctuates between the recognizable & the abstract using color & texture to move the eye across a horizon of musical notes singing of peace and harmony. Carstens' paintings can be found in private & corporate collections across the U.S. & Canada. Her work has been featured in many exhibitions including Manhattan Arts International's "The Healing Power of Art" (New York, NY) and most recently has been honored with an Artist of Distinction Award & representation from Stillpoint Gallery of Brunswick, ME. View her painting, "Solitude" in issue 7. Cyndy Carstens's Website

Eyebrows we all have them yet so many of us are not happy with how they look. It goes without saying that eyebrows frame your face and can dramatically change ones appearance. Achieving the shape that best suits your face is easily achievable when shown how and maintained.
We believe that not any two eyebrows are the same, even when they are on the same face. As facial symmetry is extremely rare we take the time to look at your face and work with the shape you already have to not only frame your face but also to highlight your features.
Offering tinting and shaping and completing your appointment with tips for how to enhance your brows daily at home. Assisting clients in growing out eyebrows until the desired look and thickness is achieved.
Reshape appointments are only $20 and tinting is offered at a discounted price when booked with a wax.
For Sculpting, Tinting and Hair removal is $30. | {

TORONTO, Oct. 5, 2017 /CNW/ - Global growth is strengthening as policy stimulus in some advanced economies is unwound. This is a confirmation of the narrative building throughout the year, in which the sources of growth have been broadening across and within countries.
"For the first time since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), all 45 industrialised OECD countries are set to expand," said Jean-François Perrault, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Scotiabank. "Given the breadth of growth geographically and its increasing diversity within countries, the foundation remains for solid global performance through at least 2018, though geopolitical risks continue to dominate."
There are now tangible signs that firms have joined households in contributing to the recovery in most countries, and capital spending in the more advanced OECD countries is expanding at a pace not seen in over three years. This is a welcome development given the general weakness of business investment in companies globally since the GFC. This turnaround in investment appears to reflect a number of powerful factors, such as a rise in confidence as ISM indicators are at multi-year records, the still low cost of capital, and the general increase in trading partner activity.
Canada: Growth is expected to hit 3.1% during 2017 before slowing to 2.0% in 2018 and 1.5% in 2019 as tailwinds from busy Canadian consumers begin to wane.
United States: The U.S. economy is forecast to hit 2.2% y/y in 2017, before plateauing in 2018 at 2.3% and decelerating to 1.7% y/y in 2019.
Mexico: It is too early to determine the likely effects of terrible September earthquakes on the Mexican macroeconomic landscape, but they are expected to be relatively small.
United Kingdom: The Bank of England will likely deliver a rate hike in November. Moderate tightening is expected to be delivered during 2018, helped by accelerating growth and wage inflation in the new year.
Latin America: As political situations improve in some countries within the LatAm region, such as Brazil, Colombia, and Chile, the economic performances suggest a gradual recovery.
China: China is set to remain among global engines of growth, yet real GDP gains will likely decelerate to 6% y/y by the end of 2019. | {

Q: In a hybrid exchange environment, how to send email from a mailbox in exchange on-prem to another mail box in exchange online? We deploy hybrid exchange using the HCW, AADC has been deployed as well. Mailbox A is created on exchange online. Mailbox B is created on exchange on-prem.
Now I can send an email from A to B. But I cannot send an email from B to A. It says "We won't be able to deliver this message to A because the email address is no longer valid"
A friend told me, it is because A is created on the Exchange online, so B cannot find it. Or the other hand, B is created on on-prem and have is synchronized to the cloud by AADC, so A knows it and can send email to it.
Is it true? In my opinion, once a hybrid exchange environment has been deployed, the exchange online and exchange on-prem should be able to talk with each other. So there should not be an issue when you send email across online and on-prem.
If my friend is true, what should i do the synchronized the mailbox from online to on-prem?
If my friend is wrong, which part of the setting could be wrong?
Thanks!!!
A: When you are in a Hybrid deployment, then you have to create the AD Account locally, ideally using EAC using the option to create an Office365 account. Then let the account sync to the cloud and licence it. If the entire account and mailbox was created in the cloud (so there is no local AD account) then it will not work correctly.
A: You can refer to the following article to merge an Office 365 account with an on-premises AD account:
[How to merge an Office 365 account with an on-premises AD account after hybrid configuration?][1]

Ben's vibrant fashion brand blooms with micro-enterprise support 02/02/2023, 12:10
Ben's vibrant fashion brand blooms with micro-enterprise support
Ask Ben Paior-Smith how he came to name his clothing retail business and he'll gladly demonstrate.
"I'm a happy person and when I'm happy, well, it's just Hazzah!" said Ben, laughing and swinging both arms up high.
For years now, whenever the young Adelaide man feels especially joyful, he throws his arms into the air and exclaims, "Hazzah!".
So, he says, it was an obvious choice for the name of his own small business or micro-enterprise.
"Hazzah means to be happy, that's why I like it," said Ben, 20, who lives with Down syndrome and is supported by the NDIS.
Ben is feeling especially happy these days because Hazzah is a dream come true, despite the challenges of launching a new business during a global pandemic.
"It was my dream to start an apparel business, to meet new people and build a community where people can be themselves and have fun," said Ben.
"And I'm just loving it right now, I'm loving it, I'm loving the community and running my own business."
Ben creates original designs for t-shirts and caps, inspired by the things he loves, including DJing, music, surf culture, and sport.
He manages the micro-business himself, with help from a team with a facilitator and personal assistant, funded through his NDIS plan.
Registered NDIS provider, Community Living Project (CLP), provides Ben with microenterprise support, while a team of volunteers, including some of Ben's neighbours and family members, form a Project Enterprise Group, which supports Ben with business, accounting and design expertise.
Ben's NDIS plan also provides him with an assistant graphic designer, Dylan DuCaine, who helps Ben turn his original ideas into eye-catching, vibrant designs
"Ben is the boss, Ben comes up with all of the ideas and he and Dylan work together on the computer," said Ben's mother Sam Paior.
Since launching Hazzah last June, Ben has been successfully growing a steady crowd of buyers and supporters for his new brand.
He has more than 450 followers on social media, and uses an effective idea for sharing the Hazzah logo as widely as possible—people who buy his shirts and caps send Ben photos of themselves wearing his designs, which he posts online.
"We are getting a lot of positive comments and it's going very well," said Ben. "I'm very happy and excited."
Ben says he's also feeling happy about his NDIS support, which has helped him to grow the skills he needs to run his new business and become more independent.
NDIS-funded support workers are also helping Ben to learn to cook, do housework, use gym equipment, and use public transport independently.
Ben says the NDIS has made a big difference to his life. His goal is to run a successful business and buy his own home to live independently.
"The biggest difference there has been is I have the free will and capacity to go out somewhere and have an independent life," he said.
"NDIS helped me with my hopes and dreams and to be more independent."
For Ben, Hazzah is more than a clothing business. He says it's about acceptance and embracing each person's unique self, and having fun.
Meanwhile, the young entrepreneur, who has previously been a star athlete and has worked nationally as a public advocate for people with disability, is now further expanding his skills. He attends a Music and Media program with NDIS registered provider, Lift Up Voices, and film studies at Flinders University, through the Up the Hill project, supported by an NDIS-funded mentor.

Together we can tackle child abuse, campaign urges
A national awareness campaign highlighting the crucial role people can play in reporting child abuse and neglect launches today (Thursday 3 March).
We are supporting the Department for Education's (DfE) campaign which aims to encourage the public to report their concerns in order to get help to children more quickly. It is targeted primarily at 25 to 40-year-old parents of young children following DfE research involving over 2,500 UK adults which showed that this demographic are the most confident about reporting child abuse and neglect.
Child abuse is any action by another person – adult or child – that causes significant harm to a child. It can be physical, sexual or emotional, but can just as often be about a lack of love, care and attention.
Neglect covers the ongoing persistent failure to meet a child's basic needs. It may include failing to provide adequate food, shelter, clothing, or medical treatment. It can also include failure to protect a child from harm or danger and failing to ensure proper care or supervision.
Emotional abuse can include bullying, making a child feel worthless or unloved, inadequate, deliberately silencing them or frequently causing a child to feel frightened or in danger.
Cllr Jon Hunt, Chair of Children and Young Committee, said: "Research reveals that nationally a third of people who suspect child abuse do not act on their suspicions because they are worried about the implications of being wrong. We feel it is important to support the aims of this campaign in South Gloucestershire and help raise awareness of the signs of child abuse and neglect. If you think a child is being abused or you think their safety is at risk, it is important to tell someone. We would encourage people to discuss their concerns with our children's services as a first port of call."
You can report child abuse or neglect in the following ways:
Call South Gloucestershire Council on 01454 866000 Monday to Friday during usual office hours, 8.45am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8.45am to 4.30pm Fridays. Outside of office hours and at weekends contact 01454 615165.
Report it online at www.gov.uk/reportchildabuse where more details on the campaign will also be available. | {

[1:07] <anthesterion> i am in my nightshift and want to watch a classic movie. i have chosen three candidates: sneakers, the net and enemy of the state.
[1:08] <anthesterion> but which one should i watch first?
[1:08] <ball> It has Arthur Askey in it!
[1:09] <anthesterion> i think i'll give it a chance.
[1:14] <delinquentme> anyone done something like this?
[1:15] <ball> delinquentme: That's going to be a noisy room, RF-wise.
[1:16] <ball> delinquentme: How talkative are they going to be?
[1:17] <ball> delinquentme: ...are they Raspberry Pi 3 boards?
[1:20] <delinquentme> ethernet cables seem like overkill.
[1:20] <delinquentme> but running a single wire to each machine feels a lil jank.
[1:20] <delinquentme> I suppose I could do some zigbee protocll stuff ... but wifi seems more straight forward.
[1:20] <ball> Raspberry Pi seems like overkill but then I don't know what local processing you had in mind.
[1:21] <delinquentme> this is true.
[1:21] <delinquentme> is there some standard wired thing thats not quite as beef as ethernet?
[1:22] <ball> Not sure MIDI supports 30 devices though.
[1:24] <ball> Sounds like a reasonable application for RS-485, depending on the length of run you would need.
[1:25] <ball> Oh wait, you could do two 16-node runs.
[1:25] <ball> ...save some driver circuitry.
[1:46] <ball> ...or you know, you could try WiFi.
[2:04] <ball> BurtyB: Is that a Linux thing or a Pi thing?
[2:33] <Abbott> does ssh work out of the box? like is sshd running right after installation or do I have to connect a keyboard and monitor to it first to configure it?
[2:33] <ball> Abbott: For which OS?
[2:36] <Abbott> so just a blank file in boot named ssh?
[2:53] <maicod> Hi I boot my Pi from an SDcard and have the ext4 partition on a flash drive (I edited the commandline.txt in the boot partition and fstab in the ext4 partition on the flash drive) and that works flawlessly UNTIL I add another usb-drive to one of the USB sockets of the Pi, then it 'steals' /dev/sda and linux is doomed. How can I prevent /dev/sda from being stolen ?
[4:15] * ball thinks about diodes.
[7:28] <kihis> hi. any compact and reliable idea how to convert 12v to 5v for pi?
[7:31] <exo-squad> a step down regulator?
[9:21] <ejay> Hi all. Is it possible to use external HDD (5200RPM) with Pi3 without extra power cable for HDD?
[9:24] <ejay> Lartza: ok, thanks.
[12:27] <gordonDrogon> MasterPrenium, 28 in total.
[12:28] <gordonDrogon> MasterPrenium, but you sacrifice all other functions for that - SPI, I2C, Serial... Also note that the 2 I2C pins are tied to 3.3v bia 1K8 resistors.
[13:25] <Hix> so yesterday I asked about dd with OS X taking forever. I was using raspbian jessie lite and it was iro 2500s. Discovered using of=/dev/rdisk2 is waaaaay quicker. bro 74s..
[14:21] <Gadgetoid_Pim> gordonDrogon, also, hi!
[14:26] <sa0bgh> anyone who knows if zerow is supported by uboot?
[15:20] <Gadgetoid_Pim> gordonDrogon, oooh nice!
[15:28] <Lartza> Particle sensors are bad though, I'm sure you can get one of the ionising ones too??
[15:36] <gordonDrogon> it's now pastry time. laterz.
[15:50] <MaekSo> can I expect any trouble when I plug the sd card from my Pi2 in to a Pi3?
[15:51] <ShorTie> is it up to date ??
[16:00] <MaekSo> hmm, so that appears to be a firmware updater, eh?
[16:05] <MaekSo> let's see if it boots up and finds the right IP again!
[16:27] <MaekSo> Mar 13 08:26:37 pi systemd: Dependency failed for Reboot.
[16:27] <MaekSo> -- Unit reboot.target has failed.
[16:27] <MaekSo> -- The result is dependency.
[16:27] <MaekSo> Mar 13 08:26:37 pi systemd: Unit systemd-reboot.service entered failed state.
[16:29] <MaekSo> welp, guess I'm re-installing anyway!
[16:40] <plum> anyone have experience with psad?
[16:50] <MaekSo> welp, I'm pi-less today, lesson learned!
[16:50] <petn-randall> Is it somehow possible to attach *two* camera modules to a RPi3?
[16:52] <wonderer> will this "sudo apt-get install plexmediaserver-installer" update pelx to latets version?
[16:54] <petn-randall> wonderer: That will likely just install or update the installer.
[17:35] <cambazz> hello, how can i power my pi zero from the hat? do i need to provide both 5V and 3.3V?
[17:36] <cambazz> i will be powering this pi externally, and when and if usb is plugged in, what will happen?
[17:48] <shiftplusone> 5v only and keep in mind you're bypassing input protection.
[17:58] <svideo> is there a set voltage level the rpi is expecting? why would i be getting an insufficient power notification when i'm over 5V (usb spec) and i am using less than 1amp from a 12amp supply?
[17:59] <shiftplusone> where are you measuring the 5v?
[18:00] <plum> does anyone know how to remove an iptables command?
[18:01] <plum> or wait. maybe it will work and i just need to reboot?
[18:02] <shiftplusone> svideo: if you're seeing over 5v over the load at full load, then it might be that the power is 'dirty'. The multimeter would not show that, but a scope would.
[18:02] <plum> so if it was working already, it would be there without rebooting, no?
[18:03] <shiftplusone> the under-voltage warning is reliable, since it comes straight from a voltage monitor chip. There are ways to accidentally trigger it, but you'd need to be doing things you shouldn't be doing with i2c_vc, for example.
[18:07] <shiftplusone> The charger does seem a little dodgy. 12A for 8 ports, up to 2.4A per port? That doesn't maths. I guess they mean up to 2.4A per port, if you don't use them all at the same time, but that omission is enough to make me question how stable the voltage is over that range.
[18:10] <shiftplusone> I'd just trust the undervoltage warning.
[18:11] <svideo> shiftplusone you fixed it!
[18:12] <shiftplusone> You'll typically see it during boot up, when the load is higher, and then have it disappear, but ideally you wouldn't see it at all.
[18:13] <plum> does anyone have any thoughts on if it would make sense to change ServerKeyBits to 16384 instead of 1024/2048/4096 for futureproofing?
[18:17] <Phischi> anyone around who wants to help me setting up a Pi3 to use the builtin Wifi and a USB-wifidongle?
[18:18] <teclo-> svideo: generation of the key ?
[18:18] <Phischi> svideo: let's lower security because it is more convinient?
[18:21] <Phischi> btw. anything to switch to beside using the last version?
[18:24] <svideo> you can trust MS not to give the feds all your keys, right?
[18:24] <Lartza> Bitlocker keys are stored on your device though not ms servers?
[18:34] <Phischi> can somebody tell me how to start dhcpd with 2 config-files for 2 APs?
[18:37] <hmoney-> wait.. crap is now a bad word?
[18:40] <svideo> taken away by the IRC police?
[18:40] <plum> we want to keep it that way, no?
[18:41] <hmoney> the no curse words is good for children in the channel, but i would say 'crap' in front of a child and not think twice about it..
[18:43] <plum> person a: "please don't say that word"
[18:43] <hmoney> person c: word.
[18:44] <hmoney> so back to pi stuffs: anyone running a docker swarm?
[18:45] <svideo> run it on your local PC?
[18:48] <Abbott> is there a way to mount the rpi partition of the microsd using cygwin?
[19:00] <gordonDrogon> svideo, can we keep it a btt more family friendly please?
[19:02] <Phischi> really, this goes down the ridiculesroad slowly.
[19:08] <petn-randall> Ah, thanks for the info.
[19:09] <shiftplusone> plum: what are you doing with it?
[19:11] <shiftplusone> Yeah, there was a batch with faulty sensors, but there is now a check during manufacturing to make sure that all reported values are within a plausible range.
[19:12] <shiftplusone> svideo: I don't trust those usb power meters are all.
[19:14] <shiftplusone> svideo: the circuitry for that warning is simple. It's a dedicated voltage monitor chip directly on the power rail, after the input protection. Have you measured the voltage across the 5v-GND GPIO pins?
[19:18] <shiftplusone> a DMM might be quicker as a first step.
[19:21] <shiftplusone> I think we had a case where a monitor would make the pi earth reference grounded which caused some damage.
[19:21] <mfa298> some usb cables really are incredibly bad.
[19:21] <shiftplusone> I have some cables which look quite nice and thick and were a little expensive, but it's mostly rubber and braiding. The resistance across them is still high.
[19:24] <shiftplusone> it's reporting 5.3v, but I don't get a lightning bolt, although I was expecting one.
[19:26] <shiftplusone> Yup.... got it to show up while the power meter is showing 5.25v while I know for a fact it's below that.
[19:27] <shiftplusone> throwing in a hard drive in the mix to get a constant under-voltage warning and it's showing 5.25 still.
[19:30] <shiftplusone> yup removing the power meter removes the under-voltage warning entirely, although everything else is still plugged in.
[19:35] * shiftplusone disconnects the electrical rube goldberg machine.
[19:41] <shiftplusone> wouldn't there be components which must be in series?
[19:46] <shiftplusone> right, I get the measurements, but I wouldn't expect the display to be responsible for a big chunk of the drop.
[19:51] <shiftplusone> any luck with the GPIO measurements?
[19:52] <svideo> once i move it off my desk back onto the bench i'll wire it up and report back.
[19:54] <leftyfb> how is it this company was able to get 314 pi zero w's if everyone is only allowed to purchase 1 at a time?
[19:56] <mfa298> presumably by talking to the foundation and because they're giving them away.
[19:58] <shiftplusone> svideo: why the USB webcam instead of the CSI camera?
[19:59] <shiftplusone> have you tried throwing a self-powered hub in the mix just to check if power has anything to do with it?
[20:04] <shiftplusone> All things being equal, does it work 100% of the time after a fresh deployment and then stop working 100% of the time after you access it in some specific way? Is the sample size here greater than one?
[20:04] <shiftplusone> If that's the case, then the only thing that changes is the content of the SD card.
[20:06] <shiftplusone> Yeah, I was just going to say that the pi is not necessarily the right answer to everything.
[20:08] <shiftplusone> I would use a pi, but mainly because I am fairly confident that I have the tools and time to find and fix whatever problems arise and would find it interesting. If I was doing something strictly for the utility of the thing itself rather than for the sake of tinkering, I'd probably skip the pi.
[20:08] <shiftplusone> but your USB camera issue doesn't sound too difficult to isolate.
[20:11] <shiftplusone> A windows machine? Well now, that's just heathen talk.
[20:11] <svideo> could be this POS camera?
[20:12] <shiftplusone> Yeah, doesn't sound like the camera is great.
[20:16] <shiftplusone> Is this on Linux in both cases? Maybe the drivers are just bad?
[20:20] <redrabbit> have you tried to make it work for a while ?
[20:21] <redrabbit> for no reason?
[20:39] <funkster> anyone recommend a rgb led strip? need about 2 meters, see very mixed reviews about types of strips.
[20:49] <Chillum> funkster: you want addressable like the WS2812s?
[20:49] <Chillum> or do you want to drive the PWM yourself?
[20:50] <funkster> Chillum: im not exactly sure of the prons/cons of either, but yes individually addressable leds would be ideals.
[20:52] <funkster> thats all my setup can handle for power at moment 5v/2.4a and to light up a 12x12x4 box.
[20:53] <funkster> Rickta59: that power is based off.. 1m you are estimating?
[20:54] <funkster> sweet, so where can i get specifics of what mosefst//capactiers/etc. that part i am lost on. i understand the basic wiring and code.
[20:55] <Rickta59> rpi or rpi 2 or rpi 3 or zero?
[20:55] <funkster> oh, for me ill use pi 3.
[20:56] <funkster> maybe usb a teensy to my pi and go from there?
[20:58] <funkster> gotcha, yah just one simple animation or blinking probably is needed.
[20:59] <funkster> Chillum: yah im thinking of doing that also. need linux as its wifi connected with custom scripts.
[20:59] <funkster> and the apa102 has issues with 3.3v pins as well?
[21:00] <funkster> whats the lowest end arduino i should get to hook the leds and pi up? nano?
[21:01] <funkster> little learning curve, but seems tons of docs out there to learn.
[21:02] <Chillum> iron, hot air station, power supply etc?
[21:15] <brainzap> a flux capacitor from china?
[21:16] <gordonDrogon> you shouldn't need flux for through-hole stuff.
[21:16] <gordonDrogon> just use multi-core solder - pre-fluxed.
[21:24] <plum> raspberry pi is 32-bit right?
[21:25] <shiftplusone> plum: some pi models have 64bit cpus, but there's no official support for a 64bit kernel.
[21:26] <shiftplusone> there are still issues being ironed out with the kernel. Once everything works, there might be a case for making an official 64bit debian image.
[21:26] <shiftplusone> Why do you ask?
[21:29] * shiftplusone makes a mental note of never getting any PCBs from redrabbit.
[21:31] <plum> you guys use rkhunter?
[21:33] <shiftplusone> is that a rootkit detection thing? I occasionally use such things, but I have never had an antivirus or any other kind of security tool find a legitimate issue.
[21:37] <redrabbit> rkhunter is for linux systems ?
[21:38] <shiftplusone> 99% of attacks you'll see will be scripted scans for known vulnerabilities which are easily thwarted. If you're a known and interesting target then you might get some crafty personalized phishing attacks. Nobody is going to put much effort into attacking something if you've taken the basic precautions and don't have anything worth getting access to. They tend to go for the low hanging fruit.
[21:39] <shiftplusone> I learned the most while browsing some hacking forums and looking at real successful attack payloads from compromised servers.
[21:42] <shiftplusone> plum: there's a quite popular and easily accessible forum through which a website I was a mod on was hacked. It's likely to be the first one you find with google, I think.
[21:44] <shiftplusone> plum: he got a the password of one of the admins from a password leak of another website. He used the same password on both sites. They posted the hashed password on the forum and had it cracked. Then they installed a shell by adding an plugin to the phpbb forum the site was running. Then through that shell he connected to the server and got access to everything else.
[21:45] <redrabbit> i send with ./sms.sh "message $var message"
[21:45] <shiftplusone> Which goes to show that humans are often the weakest link, although forced 2FA would've been the easiest way to prevent that.
[21:46] <shiftplusone> and you know... don't give unnecessary access rights to forum admins.
[21:47] <shiftplusone> shouldn't expect people to require facebook, but openid is alright.
[21:48] <shiftplusone> *shouldn't require people to have a facebook account.
[21:48] <plum> you can use multiple sites to log in with that right?
[21:50] <plum> shiftplusone: that's with openid you can use your google account?
[21:50] <shiftplusone> yes, if I understand openid correctly.
[21:51] <plum> thanks for the heads-up!
[22:17] <funkster> anyone use a sort of inline usb battery pack. power cable -> usb battery -> raspberry. have it always run like that so if power disconnects its still up and running.
[22:17] <lopta> funkster: I'd be tempted to do that with a capacitor and relay but a diode might suffice.
[22:19] <funkster> eumel: thats perfect solution! thanks.
[22:20] <NineChickens> Can python run console commands?
[22:20] <NineChickens> ie, can it go "sudo reboot"
[22:20] <shiftplusone> The simplest way is os.system, but I believe that's deprecated.
[22:21] <funkster> mfa298: interesting. ill give small small ones a test as well.
[22:22] <shiftplusone> eumel: thanks. Not a python person myself.
[22:24] <[Saint]> shiftplusone don't do no snek.
[22:27] <funkster> eumel: sweet, i will order one to test. also looking for a powered usb hub that will do multiple ports at 5v/2a AND have a battery backup power.
[22:28] <[Saint]> I asked my distributor about the Pi Zero W and he threw his hands in the air and (sarcastically) declared them to be a myth, folklore, and/or a conspiracy theory.
[22:28] <lopta> [Saint]: They're powered by unicorn farts.
[22:29] <lopta> funkster: What sort of battery are they using?
[22:29] <[Saint]> New Zealand, specifically.
[22:30] <plum> New Zealand ROCKS!!!
[22:30] <[Saint]> It's really not as great as the rest of the world seems to think it is.
[22:30] <[Saint]> Our public face of nature and clenliness is mostly a farce.
[22:31] <NineChickens> Would the Zero W likely to be more available in 2-odd months?
[22:33] <[Saint]> NineChickens: re: availability, no.
[22:34] <[Saint]> By that time the interest may have dropped a little, but so will the available number of units.
[22:35] <[Saint]> I've resorted to buying at 50~100% markup from gouging resellers on our local Amazon/Craigslist-esque clone.
[22:41] <NineChickens> http://pastebin.com/Jyc52WrT This commenting more or less right?
[22:41] <plum> bramble cluster hat?
[22:43] <plum> what do you do with a cluster hat like that?
[22:44] <NineChickens> One would have to have the client code and the other the server, right?
[22:45] <lopta> NineChickens: Why TCP and not UDP?
[22:45] <lopta> NineChickens: Presumably you're going to poll for status afterwards.
[22:45] <plum> cromulent: do tell!
[22:46] <NineChickens> lopta: How do I do that?
[22:46] <lopta> NineChickens: Depends on your programming language, probably.
[22:48] <NineChickens> though I could have it ping the 3B every now and then and basically go "you there?"
[22:48] <lopta> NineChickens: Seems like you're overthinking it.
[22:49] <plum> what does one do with a cluster?
[22:49] <lopta> plum: Take over the world.
[22:50] <lopta> Is Docker even an option on ARM yet?
[22:50] <lopta> Does Docker use OpenStack?
[22:51] <[Saint]> IIRC there's a compile time flag to allow for it.
[22:51] <lopta> Does OpenStack support other container systems and hypervisors?
[22:53] <[Saint]> Incidentally, my little cluster of Zeros is a docker swarm. I also have a cluster of 8 Pi 3s run by a Hardkernel ODROID XU4 that does provides a distributed ARM build box.
[22:54] <[Saint]> And a couple of other decommissioned clusters of Pi3s I've been slowly robbing for bits.
[22:54] <[Saint]> You can use it for whatever you're using a pi for now.
[22:54] <vavincavent> hi, i've tested to put my pi zero w as access point but it failed, can someone help me?
[22:54] <[Saint]> Just throwing more threads at it.
[22:55] <b3h3m0th> Is it just me?
[22:55] <[Saint]> eumel: they're basically what the Pi should be, IMO.
[22:55] <[Saint]> eumel: major benefits being USB3, and gigeE.
[22:56] <[Saint]> That's why I use it as the master for the Pi 3 cluster, since it's gigE and the Pis are all 10/100, I don't have to worry about network bottleneck.
[22:56] <eumel> [Saint]: okay, are usb and ethernet on the same bus like on the pi?
[22:59] <b3h3m0th> Can I paste here?
[22:59] <b3h3m0th> What is the recommended pastebin?
[23:01] <b3h3m0th> It's stuck here and there's no AP I can see on my phone. It used to be there when I tried a few hours back.
[23:01] <eumel> b3h3m0th: can you paste hostapd.conf?
[23:06] <b3h3m0th> I don't need to specify driver if I'm using the internal adapter right?
[23:07] <eumel> b3h3m0th: at least i never did, you're running a pi 3?
[23:08] <b3h3m0th> Is there any more reliable AP?
[23:09] <eumel> b3h3m0th: never had problems with hostapd, are you running the latest version? system is up-to-date?
[23:09] <b3h3m0th> how can I check system version?
[23:12] <NineChickens> What's the correct way to have an endlessly looping bit of python?
[23:12] <NineChickens> while 1: ?
[23:13] <eumel> b3h3m0th: can you reinstall from the repo?
[23:14] <b3h3m0th> actually I used repo version first when I first ran into these issues. Thought of building latest in hope of fixing it.
[23:15] <eumel> b3h3m0th: ah okay, strange, the repo version works without any issues for me. can't compile it my self right now unfortunately ..
[23:20] <b3h3m0th> what are the bare minimum requirements?
[23:22] <wenxs> what could be causing it?
[23:23] <eumel> wenxs: do you have enough power for the pi and all of you're drives?
[23:25] <Dr-007> wenxs, when i had this, my USB power supply to the PI was "broken"
[23:25] <b3h3m0th> eumel: if auth_algs is set to 2, does it mean that it's open AP?
[23:27] <b3h3m0th> Is the "1489444034.796137: Failed to create interface mon.wlan0: -95 (Operation not supported)" normal?
[23:27] <b3h3m0th> What does itmean?
[23:27] <wenxs> Oh, and I had to add the "nofail" in the fstab entries for the three hard drives, otherwise when one of them was not available on boot, the rpi would enter the emergency mode.
[23:30] <eumel> wenxs: what does dmesg show you when the drives fail to mount?
[23:30] <eumel> wenxs: any errors?
[23:30] <b3h3m0th> what about "1489444034.824642: wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver" ?
[23:31] <eumel> b3h3m0th: have you tried specifying the driver for the wifi adapter in hostapd.conf?
[23:31] <wenxs> and basically the PI was waiting for the disk to be available, with problems such as "/dev/sda does not contain a filesystem or disklabel"
[23:33] <b3h3m0th> eumel: but what should I specify as driver?
[23:34] <b3h3m0th> btw. would "hw_mode=g" be an issue?
[23:34] <b3h3m0th> should I be setting that to n or ac?
[23:35] <b3h3m0th> so is there a superset?
[23:37] <eumel> b3h3m0th: any luck with the driver option yet?
[23:38] <b3h3m0th> could hw_mode be the issue?
[23:38] <eumel> b3h3m0th: have you installed the nesessary drivers? you've compiled from source, are kernel modules loaded?
[23:38] <b3h3m0th> Is it possible to support both n and ac?
[23:39] <b3h3m0th> and won't the drivers be pre installed? | {

December 21, 2022 by Steve Mentz
The last stop on my Europe '22 tour brought me back to Venice, where I sang my blue humanities song to the very lively students and community at NiCHE, the New Institute Centre for the Environmental Humanities at Ca' Foscari University that my fellow Shakespearean Shaul Bassi has been deeply involved with since its founding. It was great to see Shaul again and co-conspire about future watery possibilities. I also loved meeting Francesca Tarocco, the director of the program, as well as a pair of marine biologists from Cal Tech who were there to present their research about symbiosis in a small squid-like creature that lives in the Pacific. (Similar creatures, they assured me, are also present in the Mediterranean.) We all had lunch together at the Ca' Foscari café, and the conversation reminded me how much I enjoy the company of marine scientists. Lots of people love the water!
Light on the water
Giving my talk, which relies on what feels now like a familiar contrast between green terrestrial ideas and blue watery dynamism, I felt a twinge of uncertainty. What is Venice, after all, but a human environment built on the refusal of the distinction between land and sea? Walking through the city's narrow alleys and crossing water over its curving bridges, I kept noticing moments of intersection that challenge any simple contrast between the blue and the green. It's not just that the water of Venice's canals is itself green, as green is also the color that Shakespeare most often uses to describe the sea. More than that, It's the portal-like qualities of so many points of access in the city – steps that lead directly down into the canal, or small framed doorways that open from buildings straight onto water. One noticeable opening framed, at this time of year at least, a lovely Christmas tree. 'Tis the season to be … close to water?
'Tis the watery season
So much has been written about Venice's paradoxical history, its function as gateway between Europe and the Ottoman Empire and Byzantium, its ongoing struggle with high water, even its modern function as a center of experimental contemporary art. The last time I visited, in November, I saw Anselm Keifer's overwhelmingly brilliant installation at the Palazzo Ducale. Beyond the genius of the art itself, I was amazed by the willingness of Venice to give over two of the galleries inside its Renaissance palace to a contemporary figure whose aggression and iconoclasm contrast sharply with the allegorical celebrations of the city that populate the palace. But thinking again about it as I wandered the bridges, alleys, and campos of Venice, I wonder if the city's combination of ancient and modern, which in the Ducal Palace mean combining the gorgeous allegories of Tintoretto and Veronese alongside Keifer's towering but opaque symbolic register, might indicate a kind of belief in itself. The juxtaposition seems to say – we've been doing allegorical art that celebrates a floating city for centuries. The city's wet feet speak of perpetual evanescence, a way of living in constant contact with dynamism and dissolution. I had not been to Venice in more than 30 years since this fall. Now I've been twice in two months. And I can't wait to go back!
Ocean Space in Campo San Lorenzo
It would take a lifetime, or perhaps generations, to know Venice. I spent my few December days wandering through an idiosyncratic lineup of places, including the soccer stadium on the far end of the island, the Naval Museum, the statue of the Monument to the Partisan Woman that lies prone in the water near the edge of the Biennale Garden, the currently-empty Ocean Space gallery which was formerly the church of San Lorenzo, and the lovely Querini Stampalia, a small museum near my hotel in the Campo Santa Maria Formosa. What has it felt like to live so close to water for so long? What does Venice mean, in time and in tempest?
Monument to the Partisan Woman
In addition to a toy gondola for my nephew, I'm taking away the hitideVenice app, which gives me a daily read of the ebbs and floods of the city's fluid substrate. It'll be reassuring, as I think about the city from far-away Connecticut or elsewhere, to be able to open the app and see what that water's up to.
I'm looking forward to my next visit already!

In individual psychotherapy, the client works with a therapist on an individual basis. Individual therapy aims to identify barriers to success, alleviate internal distress, improve relationships, and develop strategies and new skills that advance a client's functioning.
Treatment is tailored to the needs of each individual. Psychotherapy focuses on setting and reaching achievable goals, developing skills, and focusing on strengths to improve and change. When the client is a child, individual treatment nearly always involves play and parents are involved significantly in treatment planning with frequent (often weekly) communication/consultation. | {

Thought leadership at the cutting edge.
Bylined articles don't just advertise, they educate. Instead of promoting your company's products and services directly, a bylined article offers informative content that enlightens your audience about industry issues and trends.
The article positions your company, and your executives, as industry experts — without triggering the negative reactions consumers have to ads. By naming you, or another company executive or leader, as the author, the article drives consumer awareness and interest to your company. Readers interested in the content can click through to learn more.
Typically published in industry trade publications and blogs, bylined articles are also known as bylines, byliners, contributed articles, guest blog posts, or op-eds.
Thoughtful content is the best form of advertising. Prose Media can help develop you and your brand into industry leaders through well-crafted, top-tier bylined articles.
By putting your expertise on display, you become an industry solution.
Share your expertise without overtly promoting your product or services. An executive named in a byline is positioned as an industry expert, and a company mentioned in the byline stands out as a leader in the field.
Draw attention to an issue important to your brand. By highlighting industry challenges or identifying unique consumer concerns, you can stimulate interest in the solutions offered by your company.
When done right, bylined articles provide valuable information to potential customers, encouraging them to note the byline and contact the company directly for service.
Placing your company name in the byline of an article will drive traffic from the publication to your website — something an article posted on your own site cannot do.
Bylined articles position you as an expert in your industry, with the added credibility of third-party publication. This credibility inspires trust and respect among clients.
Reprints of bylined articles make great leave-behinds at trade shows and sales meetings. Customers and prospects are often more inclined to read a thoughtful article than a marketing brochure.
The professional writers and journalists in our network — many of whom have written for top-tier publications — are experienced storytellers who know how to structure articles for maximum impact.
Our network includes writers from almost every industry.
These subject-matter experts understand your topic and know how to make it exciting and interesting for a general or professional audience.
When you use Prose, you can be proud to put your name or the name of one of your top executives in the byline.
That's why we write bylined articles and op-eds for some of the nation's most influential CEOs.
Alternatively, you may wish to credit the original writer to give the bylined article an air of impartial, journalistic legitimacy.
Just tell us your keywords, and we'll weave them in.
Trending keywords attract readers to a story, effectively drawing attention to the author and, consequently, to your company.

Dr. Luke Now Suing Kesha's Lawyer Over Lady Gaga Rape Allegations

mark geragos
Everyone's just suing and countersuing all willy-nilly now in the Dr. Luke/Kesha sex abuse standoff, with Lady Gaga dragged into the mess as a potential witness in at least two civil suits. Hope she likes depositions :(
The legal battle began in October when Kesha sued Dr. Luke, alleging the star producer had been verbally, physically, and sexually abusive to her for almost a decade.
Kesha Says Star Producer Dr. Luke Sexually, Physically Abused Her
The music producer Dr. Luke—pictured above second from right—has been the engine behind inescapable …
Dr. Luke promptly countersued, alleging defamation and breach of contract.
Last week, Lady Gaga confessed on Howard Stern's show that she had been raped by a producer when she was a teenager. The same day, Kesha's lawyer, Mark Geragos, posted a series of tweets identifying Dr. Luke as Gaga's abuser. He also told reporters he intended to subpoena and depose Lady Gaga as part of Kesha's lawsuit.
Lady Gaga Claims She Was Raped By a Record Producer As a Teen
In an interview on the Howard Stern Show today, Lady Gaga claims to have been raped by a record…
This week, Dr. Luke sued Geragos in a defamation suit. It's also the second lawsuit between the parties that would potentially require Gaga to testify. Luke's seeking unspecified damages for Geragos' tweets, which included the hashtag "#namethepervert."
But it's not bad news for everyone—someone's logging a ton of billable hours, and right before bonuses!!!

So here we are (finally!) with my reading wrap-up! It's a little bit late, but that's ok, because I read a whopping 16 books this month, and guess what, most of them weren't picture books! I will skip the Dutch picture book and the re-reads, as most of you wouldn't be able to get it or read it (fun fact: most of my readers are American!).
I did enjoy this Nancy Drew, but it wasn't anything special. It was also very disrespectful to Native American graves which made me very sad. It was incredibly casual about actual human body's, and at one point people even used a skeleton to "hide" behind, how that even works I don't know, but it was weird?? Mind you, the original books were written in the 1930s, the edition I'm currently reading are the reissued books from the 1950s, so I'm not surprised it's like that, that doesn't mean it's ok though. I did think the archaeology aspects was interesting, but I just wish it wasn't so casual with humans. Do I recommend this one? No, not really. If you are reading all of them (like me!) then yes, but if you are a casual reader who just wants to try out Nancy Drew, this one isn't for you.
I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads.
In case you haven't realised by now, I love vintage fashion, and I actually taught myself to knit just so I could make more vintage style clothing for myself! This book was a gift from my parents for Christmas, and it's great! It has some lovely patterns in it for men (woohoo!) and women. You get a little background info on the famous people the patterns are inspired by, which is really cute. I haven't knitted anything from the book yet (I'm trying to give myself enough courage to start knitting my first sweater!)but they are great. I really recommend it if you love vintage fashion and love to knit!
I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads and you can get your copy here.
No, I'm not engaged, but I do love me some fashion history! This book is incredibly interesting. I absolutely loved it! I learned so much about wedding traditions and that's what I read non-fiction for. The book used a lot of a vintage photos from weddings and couples, and in my opinion there were a bit too many pictures, just because I wanted more text to learn from. Nevertheless, this book is great, whether you are getting married or you just love fashion history, this book should really be read! I just wish it was a tad longer, just because I wanted a little bit more from it.
I loved this picture book! It's about Halibut Jackson, and he's very shy. He doesn't like to be noticed but one day he makes a mistake, and people notice him… I absolutely loved it! I'm very, very shy myself, and I don't like getting any attention, so this book really resonated with me. I love how it doesn't make the shyness a Big Problem, you know, what some children's and picture books do. The shyness is a way to get the story going, but it isn't here to be "fixed" which is great for kids, so they know that being shy is ok!
I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads and you can get yours here.
This is a really interesting book if you love old Hollywood and fashion. You can really see the differences per era, which is highly interesting. A lot of famous movies were used (like the Sound of Music) which was a lot of fun. I just really wished it had more text to it! It was interesting, but about 90% of this book is just photos. Interesting if you love old Hollywood, but not that interesting if you want to actually learn something from this book, you know what I mean? I'm glad to have it, because it's beautiful, but it's mostly just to have a browse through.
I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads and you can get your copy here.
Ok, so, "van der Kiste" is a Dutch name and in Dutch, "van der" should not be written with capital letters, so it's really strange to do so now, haha! This was a very interesting book, there are tons of books on Victoria and even on Edward, but there aren't many on all of the kids. I liked it, the author really enjoys the subject which is always a fun read. I just felt like the author really jumped from event to event and from person to person. Victoria was still in the center stage, and as soon as children got married, they weren't really in the picture anymore, which is a shame. It felt like the author was editing this book and tried to add as many fun facts to it as possible. You can tell the author really loved writing this book ,but it just became a little messy. Interesting, but not the best, basically!
I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads and you can get yours here.
Here we are again with some Shakespeare! I love him. He's great. But I can't read his plays, but I really do want to read them! These little books are really perfect for it. They tell the story, but in a way children would understand it. It really gives the essence of the play. Now, I do really love them, but I noticed a grammatical error in Julius Caesar which annoyed the hell out of me. English isn't my first language, so if even I can notice it… That's why Julius Caesar got 2 stars from me. The Taming of the Shrew got 3 stars! You can get your copies here.
I LOVE Oscar Wilde. He's amazing. He's funny, he's witty, his writing is amazing, I love him. I just didn't love the Picture of Dorian Gray. Even worse, I really disliked it. I didn't expect this, at all! I thought I would love it as much as his short stories! I thought I would laugh and have a good time, but I didn't. I do understand why other people love it, but it just isn't for me. Which is a shame, because if there was one book I thought I would love by him, it would be this. It has all the elements I love, but I just didn't care for it, at all. That doesn't mean I'm giving up on mister Wilde!! I'm going back to his short stories.
I gave it 2 stars on Goodreads.
I really loved Anne of Green Gables, and I've been wanting to read the rest of the series for years and I finally did! However, I didn't like the first 60% of the book. It was a bit slow, and it was strange to me, as I was a teacher and au pair, so you would think I would enjoy that the most! I'm really glad I pushed through though, because the last 40% really changed for me, and I really enjoyed it! It really felt like Anne of Green Gables again with weird shenanigans and things happening that can only happen to Anne! I really want to read the rest of the series and I can't wait.
I mistakenly bought this book thinking it has patterns in it. But it doesn't! It's a very interesting book about knitwear through the years, covering almost 100 years of trends. It's interesting, and I enjoyed it, but it's only a book if you are really into fashion history. The photos are really amazing as well, so that's another reason to get it, let's be real, haha. I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads and you can get yours here.
I really enjoyed this one! Shire Library is a great way to start reading into certain subjects, and this one was a lot of fun. I learned a bit from it (I read a lot on this subject, so if I learn anything new from books it's impressive!) and you can tell the authors really love the subject. It's just a shame that certain parts were recycled from Neil R. Storey's other books. If you want to learn more about the Second World War I really recommend this one! I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads and you can get yours here.
Mrs Beeton was THE authority on housekeeping in the Victorian Era, which in itself was funny, as she didn't really know what she was talking about. This little book is about all kinds of patterns in embroidery, crochet and knitting (what's in a name…). Really interesting if you enjoy history or fashion history, but that's all about that's interesting about it. I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads and you can get yours here.
Finally a detective written by a man that I enjoyed!! I have read a lot of detectives and so far all the ones I've read written by a man have been shite, but this one is GREAT. I really enjoyed it! It took it a whole different route, which I really liked. The story was basically told backwards, we are in the courtroom and we get the story through witnesses, which was so interesting! I didn't guess who it was, which is also a lot of fun to me. It wasn't perfect, but it was a great time. It was a hilarious time, that's for sure. One of the funniest detectives I've read! I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads and you can get yours here.
That's it for this month!! What did you read this month?
I love that you have so many different types of books on your list. I have only read Anne of Avonlea, which I loved, but I like the sound of a lot of the history-related books. I am also a very shy person and really appreciate that Halibut Jackson isn't about 'fixing' shyness. I have always felt like being shy is a bad thing and there have been many people tell me that they used to be shy, but they grew out of it and that I probably will too. But I think my shyness and introversion has helped shape me into who I am and I like who I am.
Ah thank you! I love to read as many things as possible at one time (honestly, I usually read about 5 books at a time haha) so I like to keep it more diverse as to not get confused about what I'm reading!
And I agree! Most adults think it's wrong for children to be shy, but honestly, it isn't as negative as they make it out to be. I mean, what has shyness ever done wrong? 🙂 Some kids do change, but not everyone and that's ok!
I used to read multiple books at once and it is nice having a diverse selection, especially if you are a mood reader.
Exactly! Sometimes you just need something cute and fluffy, and the next day you want to read about all the creepy things in the world, haha! | {

Bon Jour…. Buenos Dias ….. dobroye utro ….. Boker Tov ….. sabah alkhyr ….. Good morning!
This was the greeting we got one morning at the omelet station of the hotel in Israel on the Dead Sea. The food service worker went through a series of greetings in multiple languages until the guest smiled and responded in their native language.
God's love and mercy is for all, for each and every one of us.
Jonah knew this about God. And yet, when God called Jonah to go and spread the good news of God's steadfast love to Ninevah, Jonah ran away. But, as we know, we cannot run away from God. Eventually, God will find us. And so, it was. God caused a storm upon the sea and the sailors tossed Jonah overboard to stop the storm. And so it was. But God provided a large fish, a whale, to swallow up Jonah. From the belly of the whale, Jonah prayed to God: "I called to the Lord out of my distress, and he answered me. I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you." Jonah's prayer was answered. The fish delivered Jonah to dry ground. Then God called Jonah to go to Ninevah. So this time, Jonah obeyed and went to Ninevah, and there proclaimed God's message to repent…or else the city would be destroyed. The Ninevites obeyed God and repented and turned back to God. Because of their obedience, God decided not to destroy the city, and showed mercy instead.
Jonah, with the voice of thanksgiving, had words of thanks for God when he was saved from the storm. But, when the Ninevites were saved by God, Jonah had words of anger.
For himself, he is thankful that God shows mercy and love.
But for others, he is angry that God shows mercy and love.
Jonah wants the mercy for himself but wants the punishment for others.
This sounds crazy. Heretical. And yet, it also sounds human.
It starts early: a toddler gets a snack of goldfish, but when the boy who is fresh from a time out gets the same number of goldfish, she is angry and so she hits him and takes his fish.
It continues as we get older: A high school student posts a video of a hit he got in the baseball game. But then his teammate posts a video of him getting a homerun...and it got many more likes. And he is secretly angry.
Parents are so proud of their children and love to brag. You tell your neighbor that your son did well on SAT test and will be able to get into some colleges of his choice. The neighbor says, "That's good. My son got a perfect on the SAT." You are happy for her, of course, but you are also secretly angry.
This same way of thinking gave me an insight into the conflict in the Middle Easter, as I heard the history of the conflict between Israel and Palestine: In 1948, the UN gave Israel a plot of land and declared them a nation. Israel rejoiced and gave thanks to God for this blessing. But, then, they realized that a green line was drawn on the map and on the other side the Palestinians were given a plot of land and declared a nation. Israelis were no longer thankful; they were angry. And over the years, they have begun to push back the green line further and further, taking away more and more of the Palestinian's land. And then they built a wall to subdue them.
Why do we get so angry when others are blessed by God?
Do we think that we have to earn our blessings by being better than others?
Do we think we have to take the blessings for ourselves—even out of the hands of others?
Do we fear that if others receive blessings that there will not be any left for us?
The mercy of God never runs out. There is enough for you, for me and for all who believe.
God will take care of the blessing. All we need do is acknowledge the gift with a thank you.
One woman emerged from the empty tomb, weeping, wailing, could hardly walk so was so overcome with emotions.
Another came out silent and still.
Still another came out smiling, and when she met her friend, they shared a high five.
A prayer, a hymn, an offering, an act of worship; a smile, a card, a meal, a good deed, a word of forgiveness. How do you say thank you to God?
Soon after I got home, I went to see John Ferguson, who after living a full 91 years, is dying.
I read to him a few psalms, to give voice to the promises of God, who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. And I prayed a prayer of thanksgiving to God for his life and asked for God to be with him as he died.
Thank you. Thank you for visiting me over the years.
Thank you. Thank you to my family for all of their care.
Thank you, God, for Adda, who was everything to me. I can't wait to see her again.
I rejoiced that at the end of his life, some of the last words he spoke were words of thanks.
Merci Dieu...Gracias Dio….Spasibo Gospodi…Toda Elohim…Alhamdulillah…Thank you, God! | {

As part of our research into artists' books at The Centre for Fine Print Research, at The University of the West of England, UK, we have built up contacts over the years with curators and specialist artist's book librarians from national and international collections. Visits to our centre in 2004 by curators from Tate Britain and Winchester School of Art, prompted the concept of this project. Meg Duff, Maria White, Linda Newington and Catherine Polley, had all mentioned at various times that they spend much of their working day amongst artists' books and had considered making one themselves, yet had never quite got round to it. This inspired us to set up the project and subsequently extend an invitation to institutional and library staff that we had contact with, asking if they would each like to produce an artist's book for an exhibition. Forty-five people accepted our invitation to make a piece of work, and this relatively simple idea then snowballed into the Librarians' Books exhibition tour 2005- 2006. | {

Torchlight Academy, is a tuition free public charter school located in Wake County, North Carolina. The school serves students in grades K-8. The school is open to students "seeking to participate in a rigorous and academically challenging experience."
Pre-Admissions Information
Torchlight Academy preadmission activities shall be designed to assist parents and students to gain an objective understanding of the school's enrollment process, lottery process, academic program, and general expectations for all of its students. Information provided should include a general overview designed to enable the parents and students to make an informed decision about enrollment.
Any child who is qualified under the laws of the State of North Carolina for admission to a public school is qualified for admission to the Torchlight Academy. No child may be compelled to attend a public charter school by the local school administrative unit. Public Charter Schools are schools of "Choice." The student must be a resident of the State of North Carolina at the time application is made to qualify to attend a North Carolina public charter school. County boundaries or school attendance areas do not affect the student's eligibility to attend Torchlight Academy. Torchlight Academy does not limit Admission to students on the basis of intellectual ability, measures of achievement or aptitude, athletic ability, disability, race, creed, gender, national origin, religion, or ancestry.
Torchlight Academy is authorized to give enrollment priority to certain students as provided by North Carolina General Statutes. The enrollment priorities recognized by Torchlight Academy at this time include the following:
In the first year of operation only, children of the initial members of the charter school's board of directors and children of the schools full-time employees not to exceed 15% of student enrollment.
After the first year of operation, children of the schools full-time employees not to exceed 15% of student enrollment.
Siblings of currently enrolled students who are admitted to the charter school in a previous year and siblings of students who have completed the highest grade level offered by the school who were enrolled in at least four grade levels offered by the charter school.
A student who was enrolled in the charter school within the two previous years but left the school to participate in an academic study abroad program or a competitive admission residential program or because of vocational opportunities of the student's parents.
These priorities are followed in order and are provided only when space is available for the students in question.
During each period of enrollment, Torchlight Academy shall accept applications for new students. Once admitted, students are not required to enroll in subsequent enrollment periods. In order to properly plan, the school may routinely inquire of parents in early spring through an enrollment intent information request form to ascertain if students will return to Torchlight Academy the following year. The open enrollment schedule and applications for admission form shall be available on the school's website or by contacting the school's business office. If requested, applications will be mailed or emailed to the parent of a prospective student. Students are required to first submit the short-form Application for Admission. The long-form Student Registration Form is submitted subsequent to acceptance.
The enrollment period will begin this year on January 15th and remain open until midnight on February 25th. During the enrollment period, Torchlight Academy shall enroll for the coming school year any eligible student who submits an application unless the total number of applications exceed the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or school building as designated by the school's Board of Directors. If the number of applications exceeds the number of available spaces, a lottery will be held at the conclusion of the enrollment period to fill vacant seats for the coming school year. After seats are filled, the drawing will continue to determine the order of a waiting list. Current year waiting list are valid only until the conclusion of the calendar year, prior to the next enrollment. If all seats are not filled from the first open enrollment and lottery, the board may authorized additional periods of open enrollment and lottery until all seats are subscribed.
In the event that multiple birth siblings apply for admission to the school and a lottery is needed, Torchlight Academy will enter one surname into the lottery to represent all of the multiple birth siblings applying at the same time. If that surname of the multiple birth siblings is selected, then all of the multiple birth siblings shall be admitted.
Lottery procedures will comply with the North Carolina open meetings law provided in North Carolina General Statute § 143-218.10(a). Torchlight Academy will publicize the date, time, and location of the lottery, and all persons are allowed to attend.
All students selected in a lottery must certify acceptance of enrollment within 10 business days or the seat will be forfeited to the next person on the waiting list on the 11th business day.
Unless otherwise provided by law, Torchlight Academy may refuse admission to any student who has been expelled or suspended from a public school under North Carolina General Statute § 115C-390.5 through 115C-390.11 until the period of suspension or expulsion has expired.
Within one year after the charter school begins operations, the charter school shall make every effort for the population of the school to reasonably reflect the racial and ethnic composition of the general population residing within the local school administrative unit in which the school is located. | {

Please explain the difference between salary and wage, it's confusing with all the acts like bonus, gratuity, suspension, PF and ESI.
Dear Jagan, Al labour laws refers "wages" and not "salary".
Salary is referred to compensation to higher level of employees/professional and is generally a fixed amount fixed for a year or longer duration. Wage is refered to hourly or daily compensation for manual/skilled workers.
Each act has its own definition of wages with specific inclusion and exclusions.
Minimum bonus - employee getting salary 6000/- as per minimum wage but bonus minimum 7000/-?
Bonus Payment - Who Is Primarily Responsible ? Principal Employer Or Service Provider ?
Job on assignment basis for 89 daysone time - necessary to produce PF and ESI deposit challan?
How to get compliance from contractors without ESI & PF - should we collect an affidavit?
CTC and Net Pay - PF/ESI opt out - Employer Contribution to be added back to Salary? | {

©2005-2019 Blue Ridge Life Magazine : Above top it was just Tommy & Yvette Stafford as they prepared to launch our charter publication, Nelson County Life that eventually became Blue Ridge Life Magazine some years later. Above bottom, the BRL crew grew to now include Junior Publishers Peyton & Adam. We started as a mom & pop operation and have remained a that same locally owned publication to this day.
The year was 2005. The date, April 1st. That's when it all started. Nelson County Life Magazine was our charter publication that eventually expanded into Blue Ridge Life, and these days covers the Central VA Blue Ridge area.
We've been copied. Imitated, and on and on. We haven't changed. It's still just us. Mom and pop. Yvette and I started this magazine as a family operation a dozen years ago today. Fast forward to 2017 it's still a family operation joined now by our son Adam in 2008 and daughter Peyton in 2010. We still live, work and play right here in the Blue Ridge, based in Nelson County.

As soon as you have a language that has a past tense and a future tense you're going to say, 'Where did we come from, what happens next?' The ability to remember the past helps us plan the future.
So Crake never remembered his dreams. It's Snowman that remembers them instead. Worse than remembers: he's immersed in them, he'd wading through them, he's stuck in them. Every moment he's lived in the past few months was dreamed first by Crake. No wonder Crake screamed so much.
Time folds you in its arms and gives you one last kiss, and then it flattens you out and folds you up and tucks you away until it's time for you to become someone else's past time, and then time folds again.
Toast was a pointless invention from the Dark Ages. Toast was an implement of torture that caused all those subjected to it to regurgitate in verbal form the sins and crimes of their past lives. Toast was a ritual item devoured by fetishists in the belief that it would enhance their kinetic and sexual powers. Toast cannot be explained by any rational means. Toast is me. I am toast.
It had helped to keep her sane, that writing. Then, when time had begun again and real people had entered it, she'd abandoned it here. Now it's a whisper from the past. Is that what writing amounts to? The voice your ghost would have, if it had a voice?
While in a vintage restaurant..."the past isn't quaint while you're in it. Only at a safe distance, later, when you see it as decor, not as the shape your life's been squeezed into.
History, as I recall, was never this winsome, and especially not this clean, but the real thing would never sell: most people prefer a past in which nothing smells.
I didn't much like it, this grudge-holding against the past.
A movie about the past is not the same as the past.
As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.
Without the protection of surliness and levity, all children would be crushed by the past—the past of others, loaded onto their shoulders. Selfishness is their saving grace.
Walking along past the store windows, into which she peers with her usual eagerness, her usual sense that maybe, today, she will discover behind them something that will truly be worth seeing, she feels as if her feet are not on cement at all but on ice. The blade of the skate floats, she knows, on a thin film of water, which it melts by pressure and which freezes behind it. This is the freedom of the present tense, this sliding edge.
But thoughtless ingratitude is the armour of the young; without it, how would they ever get through life? The old wish the young well, but they wish them ill also: they would like to eat them up, and absorb their vitality, and remain immortal themselves. Without the protection of surliness and levity, all children would be crushed by the past - the past of others, loaded on their shoulders. Selfishness is their saving grace.
And sometimes it happened, for a time. That kind of love comes and goes and is hard to remember afterwards, like pain. You would look at the man one day and you would think, I loved you, and the tense would be past, and you would be filled with a sense of wonder, because it was such an amazing and precarious and dumb thing to have done; and you would know too why your friends have been evasive about it, at the time.
The past is a closed door.
God gave unto the Animals A wisdom past our power to see: Each knows innately how to live, Which we must learn laboriously.
All writers must go from now to once a upon a time; all must go from here to there; all must descend to where the stories are kept; all must take care not to be captured and held immobile by the past.
I'm a refugee from the past, and like other refugees I go over the customs and habits of being I've left or been forced to leave behind me, and it all seems just as quaint, from here, and I am just as obsessive about it.
As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes.
I wanted to forget the past, but it refused to forget me; it waited for sleep, then cornered me.
Our biggest technology that we ever, ever invented was articulated language with built-out grammar. It is that that allows us to imagine things far in the future and things way back in the past.
He doesn't know which is worse, a past he can't regain or a present that will destroy him if he looks at it too clearly. Then there's the future. Sheer vertigo.
I would not change [my past work] anymore than I would airbrush a photo of myself. | {

NGEZI Platinum will need to go an extra mile in the last 14 games if they are to wrestle away the league title from FC Platinum, starting with the Nichrut challenge at Baobab on Saturday.
For the record, since Ngezi Platinum started playing in the Premiership in 2016, they have never had a better last 14 games of the season than Norman Mapeza's charges' record of four years.
Ngezi Platinum's best last 14 games was achieved last year when they collected 25 points, the same points which happen to be Mapeza's worst record achieved in 2016.
In that 2016, Ngezi Platinum had managed 19 points in the same period.
FC Platinum's best record in the period under review was in 2015 when they managed 30 points. Mapeza's charges had 28 points in 2014 in those 14 games whilst he managed 26 points last year when they were crowned champions.
With FC Platinum two points ahead at this stage, the only scenario that sees Ngezi Platinum being crowned champions by end of season is if Ndiraya's charges get better than their record of 25 points in the last 14 matches while Mapeza experience his worst record in the process.
FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza is however aware they have to rediscover that kind of form to be the best.
Speaking before their Bulawayo City game was postponed and then rescheduled for this Saturday at Barbourfields, Mapeza said they have to up their game.
"Everybody knows we did not have a good start to our second half of the season. We have been working hard to rectify the problems we faced in those three games.
"From the look of things we have been doing everything in training. I just hope when we get there, we will come up with a positive result," he said.
On the break, he said: "For us it is a break and there are circumstances that forced us to go for that break. But as a coach you just need continuity.
"In our last game against CAPS United we did very well and I just thought we should just continue from where we left.
Mapeza believes Bulawayo City could be tricky.
"We are playing a team which released their coach and they have a new coach now. I'm sure he will try by all means to get a result against us.
"It's always difficult because he will be introducing new players to the team and they are there to impress the coach. It is always a challenge but these challenges are always there every week. For us it is the same. We go out there to try and get a maximum of three points. We just have to keep on working hard," he said. | {

Chinese New Year around the world
12 January 2017 By db_staff
The dbHK team have rounded up some of the most popular food and drink pairings around the world in celebration of the upcoming Year of the Rooster.
In about two weeks' time, cities from Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh to London to Sydney will revel in a food-coma-guaranteed feasting of steaming dumplings, dim sum, Pun Choi and Yusheng for Chinese New Year.
Celebrations in different cities are marked with a wide variety of food and beverage choices: Koreans love rice cake soup; the Vietnamese, Banh Chung and we've rounded up the most typical food and drinks enjoyed during lunar new year celebrations around the world.
Click through the slides to discover Chinese New Year food and drink pairings.
Pun Choi, a smorgasbord of seafood and meat
Hong Kong's most eagerly anticipated holiday usually involves three or four days off work and lengthy, raucous family gatherings involving mountains of food.
Various dishes include: pun choi, a hodgepodge of abalone, dried mushroom, prawns and chicken; turnip cake and neen go, a sweet snack made from glutinous rice flour and brown sugar.
Neen go has the same pronunciation as 'year' and high' and so it signifies success for adults and growth for children in the coming year.
Alcohol is not traditionally consumed at Chinese New Year but most Hong Kong families have now cottoned onto the idea and plump for a light, fruity red such as Beaujolais, or some of the older generation might have a nip of Cognac.
Soho's Chinatown lights up over Chinese New Year and many Londoners cram into the narrow, winding streets in pursuit of hotpot and good dim sum.
Much-loved dim sum options include steamed har gow (shrimp dumplings); cha siu bao, a white fluffy steamed bun with barbecued pork filling and cheong fun, rice noodle rolls.
Best consumed on a weekend when diners can happily while away the hours, dim sum is generally teamed with yum cha, traditional Chinese tea.
Approach with caution: the famously fiery bul dak from Korea
Sydney's sizeable Chinese population will flock to Chinatown to indulge in a riot of dishes influenced by a blend of different cuisines such as Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese. As it's Year of the Red Fire Rooster, a sensible choice would be to tuck into a hearty dish of bul dak – a Korean dish which literally translates to 'fire chicken'.
Unsurprisingly red in colour and famously hot, we're sure that it'll be the most auspicious way to kick off the new year and this being Australia, a refreshing beer will surely help take away the heat.

The ultimate new year food for Japanese is osechi ryōri, a collection of traditional Japanese food usually prepared in bento boxes and can go a long way with various crisp and savoury white wines, due to the dominant seafood ingredients.
Osechi ryōri is pre-cooked in soy sauce and eaten cold over the first three days of the new year and while many variations exist, each item put into the set should symbolise a particular wish – herring roe, for instance, is believed to represent fertility and shrimp for longevity.
An aromatic Alsace Pinot Gris or Mosel Riesling would match nicely with shrimp, fish and vegetables but the really authentic and Japanese way of celebrating Chinese New Year would surely be sake.
From 28 January, the Vietnamese will all be in a festive mood celebrating what the locals call Tet, the lunar new year and it wouldn't be a new year celebration without banh chung, a square-shaped rice cake made from glutinous rice, mung bean and pork.
Wrapped in green banana leaves, the cake is a timeless favourite among adults and children and can be enjoyed with a dab of fish sauce or pickled scallions and can also be fried. Most Vietnamese are not privy to drinking during meals, but beer is always the exception with Bia Hanoi and Saigon Green being popular brands.
Tossing every ingredient in Yusheng is said to bring prosperity
Similar to Chinese New Year celebrations in Hong Kong, dumplings, sweet rice cakes and yusheng – raw fish salad mixed with finely sliced vegetables – are staples found on Chinese Malaysians' new year dinner tables.
Eating yusheng starts with every diner on the table tossing every ingredient together – known as lao qi – to symblise rising prosperity in the coming year.
A fresh and fruity Sauvignon Blanc or an elegant Chablis can nicely balance off the sweet and sour taste in yusheng but as far as new year celebration drinks go, high-alcohol level liquor, beer and wines are all in the mix.

Korea's lunar new year, Solnal, is greeted with a bowl of steamy and hearty rice cake soup, known as tteokguk. Eating a bowl of the soup is believed to symbolise growing a year older and health and longevity. Cooked in thick broth, the soup is rich and clear and is often served with garnishes such as thinly sliced cooked eggs, seaweed, scallions and beef.
The go-to drinking choices for new year celebration are sikhye, a sweet fermented rice beverage and a sweet fruit punch called sujeonggwa, which is made with persimmon, cinnamon and ginger.
Dubbed as the largest Chinatown outside of Asia, folks at San Francisco's Chinatown surely know how to crank up the new year celebrations. Its annual parade will be chock-full of floats, elaborate costumes, raucous street vendors and – last but not least – the traditional Chinese dragon dance.
Hot and steamy dumplings, dim sum, yusheng or even Peking duck are usually the most often-ordered dishes during new year holidays.
When it comes to drinking though, Baijiu, China's grain liquor, dominates often accompanied by the ferocious ganbei game that encourages drinkers to guzzle down glasses of Baijiu in one sitting. For more liquor-shy diners, go for wine to toast the new year.
Singaporeans love steamboat – a large, communal soup where seafood and meat is generally lobbed in along with spicy stock and vegetables. Other delights include mushrooms with roast pork and fat choy – a moss similar to seaweed – chilli shrimp spring rolls and bakkwa, a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat originating from Fujian Province.
With Singapore's hot and humid weather, refreshing white wines would be a good idea such as Moscato d' Asti, Riesling or Lambrusco.
fo tiao qiang – so good, even Buddha would jump over a wall to eat it
The Taiwanese commemorate ancestors and departed love ones around Chinese New Year and so many dishes are created for worshipping rituals. Mullet roe, mustard greens, daikon cake, and fish are popular choices, as well as fo tiao qiang – meaning 'Buddha jumps over the wall' which is a meat-based consommé and thick stew.
Rice wine, Shaoxing wine and Kaoliang (unflavoured Baijiu) are also considered essential at the table. | {

Als Schauspieler-Reihe wurde im DDR-Fernsehen 2 ein Sendeplatz bezeichnet, auf dem in den 1980er Jahren jeden Mittwoch ab 19 Uhr Filme mit internationalen Schauspielern ausgestrahlt wurden. Der Name der Reihe rührte daher, dass jeweils mehrere Filme unter Beteiligung des jeweiligen Schauspielers oder der Schauspielerin gezeigt wurden. Die Reihe war eines der populärsten Angebote des DDR-Fernsehens der 1980er Jahre und wurde trotz vergleichsweise hohem Einsatz an Devisen aufrechterhalten.
Die Mittwoch-Reihe bot dabei sowohl Filme mit Greta Garbo aus den 1920er und 1930er Jahren, Maurice Chevalier und Charles Laughton als auch Filme jüngerer Stars wie Isabelle Huppert, Gérard Depardieu und Ornella Muti. Einen Großteil machten französische (u. a. Jean Gabin, Michèle Morgan, Danielle Darrieux, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Brigitte Bardot, Robert Hossein, Marie-José Nat, Annie Girardot, Bernard Blier, Simone Signoret) und italienische (u. a. Giovanna Ralli, Sylva Koscina, Claudia Cardinale, Gian Maria Volonté) Schauspieler aus, gefolgt von amerikanischen (u. a. Marilyn Monroe, Jane Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly) und britischen Filmstars (u. a. David Niven, James Mason, Glenda Jackson). Aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum kamen unter anderem Elke Sommer, Liselotte Pulver, Lilli Palmer, Hardy Krüger und Curt Goetz. Die einzigen Stars aus sozialistischen Ländern waren die sowjetischen Schauspieler Sergej Bondartschuk und Tatjana Samoilowa sowie die Polin Barbara Brylska. Der in der DDR lebende amerikanische Schauspieler Dean Reed hatte 1988 ebenfalls eine eigene Reihe.
Jeweils zwei Reihen hatten Gérard Philipe, Romy Schneider, Marilyn Monroe und Heinz Rühmann.
Die Stars der Reihe spielten nicht immer die Hauptrollen, so wird die von Isabelle Huppert dargestellte Figur gleich zu Beginn von Monsieur Dupont – Zwischenfall an der Côte d'Azur ermordet, Marilyn Monroe hatte eine Nebenrolle in Asphalt-Dschungel wie auch Terence Hill in Karthago in Flammen, ebenso war Mario Adorf in Nebenrollen zu sehen.
1991 wurde die Reihe auf den Dienstag verlegt und statt bis zu sieben wurden nun drei bis vier Filme ausgestrahlt. Die Reihe endete mit Ángela Molina. Danach wurde auf dem Sendeplatz die bereits vorher bestehende Reihe Film Ihrer Wahl ausgestrahlt.
Die Filme wurden von Moderatoren kurz angekündigt. In der Fernsehzeitschrift FF Dabei erschienen zu Beginn jeder Reihe Porträts der Schauspieler. In der Liste ist die Ausgabe der Zeitschrift mit den Porträts in Klammern angegeben.

And when Eisenhower talked about a "great crusade toward which we have striven these many months", he was bang on. I remember first encountering the Undergraduate Dissertation Handbook, feeling my heart sink at how long the massive file took to download, and began to think about possible but in hindsight, wildly over-ambitious topics.
Here's what I've learned since, and wish I'd known back then…. If you don't feel like they're giving you the right advice, request to swap to someone else — providing it's early on and your reason is valid, your department shouldn't have a problem with it. In my experience, it doesn't matter too much whether they're an expert on your topic. What counts is whether they're approachable, reliable, reassuring, give detailed feedback and don't mind the odd panicked email.
They are your lifeline and your best chance of success. So prepare for looks of confusion and disappointment. People anticipate grandeur in history dissertation topics — war, genocide, the formation of modern society. They don't think much of researching an obscure piece of s disability legislation. But they're not the ones marking it. As a result their rights were regularly exploited by the more powerful white race, preventing them to have a dignified and well reputed life.
Researchers can find various dissertation topics under this field of history because there were numerous problems and their effects that occurred due to the discrimination phenomenon among the blacks and the whites.
This was not only a war but a major revolution of its time and is still remembered as one of the major events in the past because its linkages are not only confined to one phenomenon but many other aspects such as unhappiness, social issues, gender discrimination, and cultural, social and political issues. So there are a number of potential topics of research related to this one major chunk of history, and therefore a researcher can select any of the events related to the Spanish civil war for his or her dissertation topic.
Here are some topics you can base your dissertation on:. This is one of the most famous events of the English history, and therefore an interesting area of research for a researcher. Some of the dissertation topics in this field of history are listed as follows:. Palestinian-Israel conflict can be addressed by the researcher. Some of the dissertation topics related to this aspect of history are as follows:.
Nazi Germany is not only confined to a limited perspective of history but leads to the history of many parts of the world which can provide the researcher basis for the selection of the topic of dissertation. Following are some of the dissertation topics that can be chosen by those interested in the history of Nazi Germany:.

The purpose of the Turnbull government is to clear every obstacle it can to help big business maximise its profits.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year are all the top long distance travel periods of the year, with more than 90% of travelers driving a personal vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that the increase in accidents during this time of year is due to a combination of more cars on the road and alcohol-impaired driving. In fact, during the years 2001 to 2005, fatal accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver rose by about 34% when comparing an average day in the year to Christmas or New Year's Day.
The holidays are not solely dangerous to drivers, but to pedestrians as well. The Injury Prevention journal reported that, in 2005, more pedestrians die on New Year's Day than any other throughout the year. Many of these deaths involved intoxication – for the driver or the pedestrian. However, in terms of alcohol-related accidents and arrests, Thanksgiving Eve, sometimes referred to as "Black Wednesday", ranks high with New Year's weekend. It is known for being one of, if not the most, busy night of the year for bars, where social drinking is done in extreme excess.
After a crash in Walton County on the night of December 11, 2016, one person was left in critical condition while another died. Two vehicles collided, causing one to roll over. While the details of what led up to this accident is not yet known, it is clear that we are already in the midst of another deadly holiday season for travelers and it is crucial to drive safely or take the right precautions to ensure that you get to your destination in a manner that not only keeps you safe, but others on the road as well.

SMART Vaccines—Strategic Multi-Attribute Ranking Tool for Vaccines—is a pioneering decision-support software tool from the Institute of Medicine being developed (in collaboration with the National Academy of Engineering) to help prioritize new vaccines for development. This software tool has been developed over three phases, discussed in three reports: Ranking Vaccines: A Prioritization Framework (2012), Ranking Vaccines: A Prioritization Software Tool (2013), and Ranking Vaccines: Applications of a Prioritization Software Tool (2014).

SMART Vaccines Video Overview
SMART Vaccines
Emerging new infections and re-emerging diseases require new vaccines for prevention. It is difficult to decide which new vaccine to develop, especially when making investment decisions in vaccine development. Thus, decision-makers working under constrained resources need tools that can be suitable within their environment and serve as an aid in vaccine prioritization efforts.
An Introduction to SMART Vaccines
IOM President, Dr. Harvey Fineberg, introduces SMART Vaccines.

Apple pie plus caramel in a cheese ball, need I say more? Today I'm introducing you to the Caramel Apple Pie Cheese Ball!
There is a saying that "everything is better with bacon", but I think caramel falls in that category too. I absolutely love caramel! I like it in my coffee, I like it on my ice cream, I like it with chocolate, and well you get the picture 🙂 I like salted caramel too! Caramel is great with apples and on apple pie and it looks (and tastes) wonderfully poured over this caramel apple pie cheese ball.
One of the favorite things about fall for many people involves picking and eating apples and making fun desserts like apple pie.
This caramel apple pie cheese ball recipe is a fun twist on traditional apple pie and incorporates an easy homemade apple filling into a cream cheese mixture. The cheese ball is then covered in pie crust crumbs and drizzled with caramel sauce. Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and apple slices all make great dippers for this caramel apple pie cheese ball.
Speaking of fall, it is absolutely gorgeous outside here right now. I think we're in the peak for the leaves changing color and they are beginning to fall off the trees and cover the yards. I flew out of town earlier this week and it was stunning looking down at all the trees from up above.
Oh and Halloween is today. Do you have big plans for spooky day? I made a last minute decision to dress up for a party we were invited to. I've been so busy and out of town so much over the last few weeks that I wasn't going to dress up this year. I'm not being that creative (doing the witch thing), but at least I will have a costume 🙂 Everyone brought their kids to work the other day to trick or treat and I think that got me in the mood for dressing up, lol.
Crumble pie crust into crumbs. Set aside.
Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg and cook 10-15 minutes over medium heat until apples are soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Using a mixer on medium speed, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
Fold in cooled apple mixture until combined.
Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter and spoon the mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap. Pull up the sides, pick up the plastic wrap, and transfer to a small bowl.
Press into the bowl to form a ball. Cover and place in the freezer for several hours or until firm.
Serve this caramel apple pie cheese ball with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or apple slices. | {

In a new study by the well-respected Heritage Foundation, a comparison of Barack Obama's and John McCain's tax plans show that California would create over 144,000 fewer jobs between 2009 and 2018 under Obama's plan.
According to the study condcuted by Shanea Watkins, with all other factors being equal, during this time with Barack Obama's plan in effect our state will create 109,320 new jobs. Under John McCain's tax plan, 253,762 new jobs will be created.
In other words, while Barack Obama would be busy "spreading the wealth around," under John McCain's plan our state would do far better in creating new wealth and job opportunities for Californians. | {

A Satisfying Criticism Of "The Scarlet Letter" Massachusetts College Of Liberal Arts, 2018 Essay
Paige Hudson Midterm Exam
English 349 Draft 1
Professor Mark Miller
A Satisfying Criticism of The Scarlet Letter
Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a staple in American literature that is taught in almost every high school English classroom. It is important because it opens a discourse about actions with consequences, sin, and guilt—as well as the trials and troubles of the human heart. The novel is discussed widely throughout the country by scholars, pupils, and critics alike, all of whom have a different perspective on the novels successes and failures, based on varying points of view.
Our classroom deliberated six of these perspectives, and some made more sense than others. In my opinion, the most successful reading was done by Michael Ragussis in his deconstructive essay, "Silence, Family Discourse, and Fiction in The Scarlet Letter," and the least successful was Lora Romero's combined perspectives essay, "Homosocial Romance: Nathaniel Hawthorne." I believe these essays' success depended on the reading of the novels rather than the author himself, because the impact a novel has on me hinges on more on content than context. These essays will be rated in order from most successful to least successful, in some form of subjective hierarchy.
Ragussis's essay was particularly convincing to me because of the way he considers the story, evaluates the characters, and the reasons they performed the actions they did. Ragussis studied these components very successfully through the lenses of silence and obscurity. The power of deconstruction lies in the relationship between the text of the source and its meaning, and its examination of that which is often overlooked, which was very well conveyed in this essay. Ragussis was the only critic in the group that we read that addresses Hester denying Pearl's existence as her child, as well as the fact that the 'A' could have stood for "Arthur" just as well as it could have stood for "adultery," which gives away the point of the book: the whodunnit question. In fact, he comments that the first two letters of the word "adultery" were Dimmesdale's initials.
Ragussis also argues the oedipal relationship between Hester, Dimmesdale and Chillingworth far more successfully than Joanne Feit Diehl in her psychoanalytic essay, because not only did he compare Dimmesdale to Oedipus because he was in love with the mother figure (Hester), but because Dimmesdale was also a knowing "criminal and a hypocrite" (Ragussis, 325).
Dimmesdale was compared to a child because of his inability to speak using his own voice—either someone must speak for him (Hester), or he would speak for someone else. The only time he breaks this pattern is when confesses at the end, and even then, he does not confess in a straightforward manner: "But there stood one in the midst of you, at whose brand of sin and infamy ye have not shuddered! ... It was on him!" (Hawthorne, 195). This use of third person only confirms the...

Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop Lead Humorous Tour Rider List
. Band's tour riders can be just as much fun as the shows themselves. There have been many infamous tour riders over the years and Gibson posted their 10 favorites. Here are the top 3:
3. Foo Fighters: Foo Fighters riders are notoriously entertaining to read. The band once famously requested a variety of 'stinky cheeses.' They also request Gatorade in 'wacky colors,' and their taste in DVDs is relatively broad - with the exception of no Jamie Kennedy, Martin Lawrence or sports movies. A vegetarian soup of the day is requested because "meaty soups make roadies fart." Moreover, the Foo Fighters rider sums up the importance of the document in maintaining a sense of continuity for the band: "The silly items like gum and candy bars make a difference to these boys that are far from their families and friends."
2. Iggy Pop: For an Iggy And The Stooges tour, requirements included a monitor engineer who is "not afraid of death," as well as instructions from backline/stage manager Jos Grain for camera crews filming the show as unobtrusively as possible: "At a wet festival somewhere I once saw a guitarist being followed all over the stage by a cameraman and sidekick all covered, in bright fluorescent plastic sheeting, including the camera It looked like he was being stalked by a demented pantomime horse! I personally thought it looked absolutely terrible, and I speak as someone who believes that most rock and roll bands would be improved by the introduction of a pantomime horse." Grain goes on to warn that "Iggy adores breaking cameras, so really it's best not to get too close to him. Of course, I will be on hand to try and prevent him from destroying your equipment; unfortunately, there is only one person I can think of who likes to break cameras more than he does, and that's me."
1. Van Halen: By far and away the most legendary concert rider requirement was Van Halen's 1982 request for a bowl of M&Ms with the brown ones removed. Far from a mere flaunting of ego, this was actually a clever trick planted within the rider to raise a red flag if the staging requirements had been ignored by local crew. As David Lee Roth explained in his autobiography Crazy From The Heat, if brown M&Ms were found in the backstage area, it would be a good bet that some important technical aspect of the contract had also been overlooked (although a glance at the actual document casts doubt on Dave's story that the M&M requirement was placed amongst the staging schematics - it was actually within the catering menu between the pretzels and the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups).

Police's Shifting Account of Black Man's Death Raises Questions in Savannah
Jameillah Smiley at her home in Savannah, Ga. Her 20-year-old son, Ricky Boyd, was shot and killed by the police just outside the front door.
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The official story of Ricky Boyd's fatal encounter with law enforcement officers changed, then changed again.
Savannah's interim police chief, Mark Revenew, initially said that Mr. Boyd, a murder suspect, had fired on officers while they were trying to arrest him in front of his home in a workaday suburb far from the fountains and oak-shaded squares of the city's historic core.
Hours later, the police released a statement that did not mention Mr. Boyd doing any shooting, though it did say that he "confronted officers with a gun." Then the Georgia Bureau of Investigation stated that Mr. Boyd had been armed with a BB pistol.
Now the family is insisting that Mr. Boyd, 20, an African-American restaurant worker, was not armed at all. Their lawyer has accused the police of lying, and he claims that a photo taken by a neighbor just after the January shooting shows the BB pistol on the ground, a puzzling 43 feet from where Mr. Boyd fell.
On Thursday, Mr. Boyd's mother, Jameillah Smiley, went before the Savannah City Council and asked the city to release a police body-camera video that she says shows that her son was unarmed. State Senator Lester G. Jackson III, the head of Georgia's Legislative Black Caucus, has sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, asking the Justice Department to take over the investigation from local authorities to "help avoid potential bias."
And Savannah — the elegant, troubled jewel of the Georgia coast — found itself confronting, yet again, the question of whether its police force can be trusted.
The question has dominated the public conversation in many American cities at a time when technology can make the most obscure police encounter combustible. But it comes at a particularly sensitive moment for Savannah — a city of 147,000 people famous for its fine old buildings and Southern charm, but burdened with an outsize violent crime problem, a 25 percent poverty rate, and a police force stained by the 2014 conviction of its former chief, Willie Lovett, on federal extortion, gambling and obstruction charges.
Mr. Lovett's well-regarded replacement, Joseph Lumpkin, reinstilled some public confidence in the police force. But Mr. Lumpkin moved to a new job in January, and the city is on a nationwide hunt for a new police chief.
Alicia Blakely, an activist with the Savannah chapter of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, said that if evidence of a cover-up emerges in the Boyd case, "just imagine — if that happened, that means the trust is completely out of the window."
Savannah has long been a city starkly divided between rich and poor, black and white. Its growing success as a magnet for tourists, wealthy retirees and film and television productions has thrown its pervasive problems into even sharper relief.
Its restaurants are more sophisticated, its airport has expanded to accommodate more visitors — "The numbers are just exploding," Mayor Eddie DeLoach says — and its historic downtown, which once evinced a tatty charm, has been burnished to a high gloss.
In recent years, the Savannah metropolitan area has also suffered some of the highest murder rates in the United States. There were 50 homicides in Savannah in 2016; in proportion to its population, that was more than twice the rate of metropolitan Atlanta. The figure fell to 35 last year, which city officials cite as a sign of progress.
"We think we've turned the corner," the city manager, Rob Hernandez, said, "and the data is supporting that."
Black mistrust of the Savannah police has deep roots — some of them typical for a Deep South city, some of them complicated (Mr. Lovett was the city's first black chief), and some stemming from the late 1980s and early 1990s, when a crack cocaine boss named Ricky Jivens Jr., who was black, led a criminal gang that was linked to about 20 killings before his eventual arrest.
Geoffrey A. Alls, 35, a black lawyer who was raised in the city, said that from that point on, the disparate treatment of blacks by the police became even more pronounced.
"Bad experiences with police as a black man growing up in Savannah are somewhat of a rite of passage," he said.
Ms. Smiley, 36, said that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation showed her and other family members the body-camera video a few days after Mr. Boyd was shot. That day, she said, a state detective told her that her son had been armed, and had "wanted to die."
Ms. Smiley said the video shows Mr. Boyd taking a few steps out of his front door, then falling as the officers shoot. But she and others who have seen the video said they could not make out any weapon in Mr. Boyd's hands.
"I said, 'This is the crap y'all brought me up here to see?' " Ms. Smiley recalled in a recent interview. Her anger turned to tears. "They didn't have to kill my son," she said.
The Chatham County district attorney, Meg Heap, who is white, calls that description of the video "inaccurate," and said that a grand jury will rely on the results of the bureau's investigation to determine whether charges are warranted against the officers.
Police and city officials, citing the continuing investigation, declined to comment.
Mr. Boyd's family said he had dreamed of joining the Marines — an idea his mother disapproved of — or of becoming a police detective. Records show that he was arrested in November 2016 for fleeing the police after riding in a stolen truck with a friend. At the time, Mr. Boyd told the police he did not know the truck was stolen. So an officer asked him why he ran.
"He began explaining how he runs from the police every time the police make a stop on him, because you know something is wrong and that is how he was trained," the officer wrote in a report.
Mr. Boyd would soon be caught up in, and dashed by, Savannah's vicious cycles of violence.
Officers went to his house on the morning of Jan. 23 to arrest him on suspicion of murdering a 24-year-old man named Balil Whitfield, who had been found shot and bleeding in the front seat of a Hyundai Accent two days before.
Violence struck even at Mr. Boyd's funeral, when his 12-year-old cousin, John Cooksey Jr., was fatally shot. Mr. Boyd's family has theories about the motive for this slaying, but did not wish to share them publicly.
A 15-year-old was eventually arrested in connection with that killing.
Mr. Boyd's family, meanwhile, has hired a local civil rights lawyer, William R. Claiborne, 40, a white Atlanta native who has emerged as a chief critic of Savannah's law enforcement culture. There are good officers on the force, Mr. Claiborne said, but over all, he believes the department has not fully reformed or scrubbed its ranks of bad actors.
"Ethical and honest policing protects everyone," he said. "We haven't had that historically, and I don't think we have that now."
In 2016, Mr. Claiborne won a settlement from the city over a case in which a white officer used a stun gun on a black man whom the police had misidentified while executing a warrant. In another stun-gun case, Mr. Claiborne and other lawyers are representing the family of Matthew Ajibade, a mentally ill black man who died after a violent confrontation with Chatham County sheriff's deputies at a local jail. Their lawsuit in federal court alleges that Mr. Ajibade, 21, was shocked four times with the device while strapped to a restraint chair, and then was denied medical attention.
Mr. Claiborne has also filed a state civil racketeering lawsuit that names Mr. Lovett and others and alleges a "takeover" of the police department by corrupt officers who controlled a drug distribution network. (The suit was filed before the department split into separate city and county departments earlier this year.)
The suit describes a continuum of corruption, arguing that the network included members of a police-controlled cocaine smuggling ring who had evaded punishment during a 1990s-era federal probe that led to the arrest of 11 officers.
Earlier this month, Mr. Claiborne released a video on behalf of Mr. Boyd's family in which he introduces the neighbor's photo. It appears to show a pistol lying on the ground near a pine tree, more than 40 feet from the front door. Mr. Claiborne believes it is the same BB pistol shown in photos released by the state bureau of investigation.
Mr. Claiborne said the family members who watched the police body-camera video did not see Mr. Boyd make any throwing motion before he was shot. "So how does the gun that he supposedly had move from A to B?" he said.
Ms. Smiley said that a Savannah detective has told her that the police do not believe her son killed Balil Whitfield.
Mr. Claiborne said he is frustrated that after three months, the authorities have released the name of only one officer involved in the raid — a sergeant who was shot that morning, apparently by friendly fire.
Mr. DeLoach, the mayor, is a white conservative who defeated a black incumbent in 2015 with a campaign focused squarely on fighting crime. In an interview, he praised the Police Department's progress, noting that its staffing is now above full strength after being short more than 100 officers a few years ago. Other city officials pointed out that the department has overhauled its internal affairs division, parted ways with problem officers and raised its success rate in solving homicides to 80 percent in 2017, from 54 percent in 2015 — evidence, they say, that public trust is on the rise.
But skepticism lingers about the Boyd shooting. Lloyd A. Johnson, a former Maryland prosecutor and president of a local youth support group, is among the black Savannah residents who want the police to release the video that Mr. Boyd's family was shown. "If they feel they didn't show excessive force, then let's look at the tape," he said.
At the council meeting, a tearful Ms. Smiley asked the members to say whether they supported releasing the video. But the city attorney advised them not to speak, and said that the district attorney had said that the video would not be released while it was under investigation by the grand jury.
"And ma'am," the mayor said at one point. "We are truly sorry."

Le stade olympique de Berlin est un stade omnisports situé dans le quartier de Westend, au sein de l'arrondissement de Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, à Berlin en Allemagne.
En dehors de son utilisation olympique, le stade a une forte tradition footballistique et historique, après avoir accueilli les Jeux olympiques de 1936. C'est le domicile historique du Hertha BSC Berlin qui évolue dans le championnat d'Allemagne de football (Bundesliga). Il a également été utilisé pour trois rencontres de la Coupe du monde de football de 1974 et a accueilli six matchs, dont la finale, de la Coupe du monde de football de 2006. La finale de la Coupe d'Allemagne de football (DFB-Pokal) y a lieu chaque année.
Le stade a une capacité totale de et dispose de 133 suites de luxe ainsi que de classe affaires.
Histoire
1916-1934 : Deutsches Stadion
Durant les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1912, la ville de Berlin fut désignée par le Comité international olympique pour accueillir les Jeux de 1916.
Le premier stade construit sur le site fut une enceinte de places (plus tard agrandie à ) inaugurée le , devant être dédié aux Jeux olympiques d'été de 1916. Mais, ceux-ci furent annulés en raison de la Première Guerre mondiale et le stade est alors rebaptisé « stade allemand » (Deutsches Stadion). Il était aussi connu sous le nom de Grunewald-Stadion.
Un stade pour les Jeux olympiques
En 1931, Berlin est désigné pour accueillir les Jeux olympiques d'été de 1936. La tenue de ces jeux dans la capitale allemande permet aux nazis, arrivés au pouvoir en 1933, d'utiliser le sport à des fins de propagande. Werner March est alors désigné pour établir les plans du nouveau « stade olympique » (Olympiastadion). Quarante-deux millions de marks sont dépensés pour ériger une enceinte de à places, selon les configurations.
Coupe du monde de football de 1974
À l'occasion de la Coupe du monde de football de 1974, le stade connait une rénovation le dotant notamment d'un toit sur une partie des tribunes latérales.
Rénovations pour la Coupe du monde de football de 2006
Le , des travaux de rénovation débutent sur le stade en vue de la Coupe du monde 2006. Le stade est rouvert au public le et les travaux se terminèrent le 31 décembre.
Pour la Coupe du monde de football de 2006, la finale s'est tenue dans ce stade, marquée par le coup de tête de Zinédine Zidane sur Marco Materazzi mais surtout la victoire finale de l'Italie. De nouveaux travaux de rénovation ont doté l'enceinte de toits sur l'ensemble des tribunes. Il peut accueillir spectateurs assis.
Utilisation actuelle
Outre les Jeux olympiques et les Coupes du monde de football, ce stade est utilisé par le club de football du Hertha Berlin, reçoit des compétitions d'athlétisme (Golden League, par exemple) et accueille chaque année la finale de la Coupe d'Allemagne de football. Les championnats du monde d'athlétisme s'y sont tenus en août 2009, avec une piste d'athlétisme bleue fabriquée par Mondo.
Projet de rénovation
Le stade est menacé par le départ du club résident, l'Hertha Berlin, en 2025. Ce dernier n'arrive pas à remplir le stade et souhaite construire sa propre enceinte, plus intimiste, de 55 000 places, à côté de l'Olympiastadion, qui pourrait servir pour de grandes affiches.
Un projet de rénovation est voulu par la mairie de Berlin, qui a envisagé de reconvertir le stade pour en faire une utilisation exclusive au football, la piste d'athlétisme serait définitivement retirée, ce qui suscite différentes polémiques. Finalement, il fut décidé de conserver la piste, mais cela pousse encore plus le Hertha Berlin à construire son propre stade.

Soros/CIA Plan to Destabilize Europe
October 4, 2015 Richard Presser Uncategorized No comments
Just as the dark forces of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and George Soros's multi-billion dollar network of non-governmental organizations plotted to destabilize the Middle East and North Africa through the use of social media to bring about the so-called "Arab Spring", these same forces have opened a new chapter in their book of global dysfunctionality by facilitating the mass movement of refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa to Europe.
In March 2011, Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi predicted what would happen to Europe if the stability of his country was undermined by the Western powers. In an interview with "France 24", Qaddafi correctly predicted, "There are millions of blacks who could come to the Mediterranean to cross to France and Italy, and Libya plays a role in security in the Mediterranean".
Where's that Qaddafi character when you need him?

Secrets of the Pyramids and the Sphinx (True Age 12,500 years ago)
Thank you, Graham, for the reminder of this remarkable video you, Robert Bauval and John Anthony West created 20 years ago (you all look so young!!!), demonstrating that the sphinx, an equinoctial marker, and the pyramids were created some 12,500 years ago, when the constellation of Leo was heliacal rising at the vernal equinox of the northern hemisphere. And now you have Gobekli Tepi confirming humanity was creating advanced astrological markers in that timeframe.
May your new book Magicians of the Gods awaken more people to this truth. You have worked so hard for so long to demonstrate this truth to the world.
Perth electrical engineer's discovery will change climate change debate
A MATHEMATICAL discovery by Perth-based electrical engineer Dr David Evans may change everything about the climate debate, on the eve of the UN climate change conference in Paris next month.
A former climate modeller for the Government's Australian Greenhouse Office, with six degrees in applied mathematics, Dr Evans has unpacked the architecture of the basic climate model which underpins all climate science.
He has found that, while the underlying physics of the model is correct, it had been applied incorrectly.
He has fixed two errors and the new corrected model finds the climate's sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) is much lower than was thought.
Of course, this will not change anything. Those driving the climate nonsense through the IPCC have never let the facts interfere with a good story and they're not going to change, with The 2030 Agenda about to be rolled out and with every major country stitched in before the end of the year. No wiggle room like Kyoto.
The thing that surprises me about this article is it's in Murdoch's press. Could cost someone their job.
Mind you, the evidence is that not one of the current "official" climate models is even close to reality, but that isn't getting in their road, either. It's all a stepping stone to transforming the world we live in, as they return the declining global population to serfdom.
Doctors against vaccines – These physicians actually did the research
This article is self-explanatory.
Mind you, I doubt most of my Aussie friends and family who receive this post will read this or want to read this, since their kind government and the well informed (by Big Pharma and their agents, of course) medical profession is carefully protecting them all through compulsory vaccination these days. How dare these doctors who've done their homework and whose practical experience points to the risks suggest otherwise?
But Aussies are safe, thank goodness. The government's got their back, so they can ignore this, yet further piece of evidence of the Big Pharma lies. How could I possibly suggest their agenda is anything but the best health outcomes for the public? Just ridiculous and so thoughtless. Just go back to sleep and ignore this inconsiderate disruption.
Relates to my last post.
What it means to be spiritual
Than you, Sean, for this quote.
There are many elements to walking a truly spiritual path, but this quote is certainly an important part of it.
It also includes being willing to have your beliefs challenged by the evidence. It is my experience that when beliefs are powerful enough, regardless of who you are, you will simply avoid the evidence that will threaten your strongly held beliefs, and often seek out "evidence" to reinforce or defend your beliefs. You cannot be truly authentic if you are not willing to expose your strongly held beliefs to contrary evidence. This takes courage and a willingness to be shown that you have misunderstood or been misled, in whatever manner. Indeed, no belief is worthy of NOT exposing it to an alternative explanation. But few are willing, including most reading this.
Unless you have built a true inner sense of who and what you are, when your beliefs are seriously challenged, you feel as if who and what you are is being challenged or even destroyed. Those who run religions or use propaganda rely on this, and it works like a charm.
We are NOT our beliefs, but that is a truth that few are truly willing to embrace. When you are conscious and aware, you can hold your beliefs up to the light and be willing to re-evaluate them in the light of the evidence. It is rare to find people truly willing to do this, in my experience.
There is a fundamental drive within all of us to believe in our own "rightness". The mistake we make is that, because most of us have not built a true sense of who and what we are, we unconsciously take on that our beliefs are a fundamental part of that "rightness", when they are not. To return to the above quote, when we become truly conscious and aware, our beliefs are like the clothes we wear , and whilst they are useful, we are able to discard them when the weather changes or they wear out. Most people never learn this in our current world.
If you don't learn this and apply it rigorously in your life, you can never be free.
Russia threatens to shoot down Israeli jets over Syria
An interesting article, translated from the French original:
EXCLUSIVE-Strategika 51: Six Russian fighter jets type Multirole Sukhoi SU – 30 SM have intercepted 4 Israeli McDonnell Douglas F-15's fighter bombers attempting to infiltrate the Syrian coast. The Israeli F 15 warplanes have been flying over Syrian airspace for months and in particular the coast of Latakia, which is now the bridgehead of the Russian forces in Syria.
The Israeli jets would generally follow a fairly complex flight plan and approach Latakia from the sea.
On the night of 1 October 02, 2015, six Sukhoi SU-30 Russian SM fighters took off from the Syrian Hmimim airbase in the direction of Cyprus, before changing course and intercepting the four Israeli F-15 fighters off the coast of Syria, that were flying in attack formation.
Surprised by a situation as unexpected and probably not prepared for a dogfight with one of the best Russian multipurpose fighters, Israeli pilots have quickly turned back South at high speed over the Lebanon.
The Lebanese army has officially announced at 2313 Z (local time) that four "enemy aircraft" (Israeli) had crossed the airspace of the Lebanon.
This 'incident' between the Russian and Israeli combat aircraft struck with amazement the command of the Israeli air force, which has estimated that a possible dogfight between F-15 Israelis and the Russian Su-30 would have led to the destruction of the four aircraft Israelis.

MATTHEWS: Sending mixed messages on gatherings, social distancing is a really bad look for state officials
June 10, 2020 Stacey Matthews Article, Opinion
N.C. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Mandy Cohen briefs media at the Emergency Operations Center. Photo via NC Dept. of Public Safety
At its highest point, there were crowd estimates of between 6,000 and 15,000 in one day for the protest marches in Charlotte that took place last week in the aftermath of the death of North Carolina native George Floyd.
Floyd died in police custody on May 25 after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly 9 minutes, according to the criminal complaint. For nearly three of those minutes, Floyd became unresponsive.
Floyd's death provoked understandable outrage across the country from people of all colors and political persuasions.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) even got in on the marching at one point, walking outside the Executive Mansion in Raleigh along with protesters. His protective mask was pulled well away from his face as he smiled for the cameras and commiserated with marchers in a group of more than 25 people, some of whom were standing less than 6 feet away from him.
Under Phase 2 of the governor's reopening plan, outdoor gatherings are limited to no more than 25 people. There are First Amendment exceptions to that, which protests like we saw last week clearly would fall under.
But even with those allowances, it states plainly in the Phase 2 FAQ that protesters are "strongly encouraged to follow the Three Ws, and should avoid congregating in groups."
The "three Ws" are wearing a face mask, "waiting" 6 feet apart (social distancing) and washing hands frequently. Masks are being worn at protests to varying degrees but the social distancing guidelines are most definitely not being observed.
While state officials have mildly expressed "concern" about the possibility that we could see a coronavirus outbreak from these protests, it's a far cry from how Reopen protesters were treated in late April and early May when they marched in support of reopening the state so people could get back to work to support their families.
State officials like Cooper and NCDHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen treated the Reopen marchers as though they were a dangerous public health threat, and irresponsible with what they were advocating. Some Reopen marchers were arrested, too — for disobeying Cooper's executive order, which called for social distancing in group settings.
Pro-life counselors in Charlotte were also arrested outside of abortion clinics — for failure to social distance and for gathering in an outdoor setting in a group of more than 10, which was the outdoor gathering limit at the time.
Now, it's suddenly "legal" to march again in North Carolina, and to do so in close quarters. Marchers can hold hands, share a bullhorn, form close prayer circles, embrace each other, and even stand inches (not 6 feet) away from a police officer in defiance.
Apparently, there are no longer serious concerns about the spread of the virus. State health officials say they are prepared to handle an outbreak should one come from all the marches over the last week.
Judging by the information available on the NCDHHS website in late April, they would have been able to handle an outbreak that came from the much smaller Reopen protests, but that's not how they presented it to the public. People exercising their First Amendment rights at the time were subjected to ridicule and scolding from these same people.
The mixed messaging — including Gov. Cooper marching without wearing a mask and standing less than 6 feet away from protesters — is really not a good look.
Because of all of these inconsistencies, it will be really hard for a lot of people to trust state officials the next time around.

It is perhaps easier to define the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar by saying what it is not than by saying what it is. An annual weeklong marathon of thematically linked screenings and discussions with a longstanding emphasis on documentary and experimental work, it is not exactly an academic conference; the Flaherty, as it's often known, is more attuned to current movements in film and media culture than your average scholarly symposium, not to mention a good deal rowdier. But it is also nothing like a film festival, and in fact creates an environment for viewing and thinking about movies that is pleasingly insulated from the usual press and industry prerogatives of buzz and business. The sense of discovery comes not necessarily from encountering new work—though that's often the case—but more important, from stumbling on unexpected ideas and previously unnoticed connections.
Inaugurated in 1955 by Frances Flaherty, the widow of the pioneering nonfiction filmmaker Robert Flaherty, the seminar has always adhered to its founder's cherished principle of "non-preconception." Program details are not announced ahead of time (only the theme is revealed) and attendees file into screening rooms with no idea what is about to unspool. Participants see all the movies and join in all the discussions, and this captive audience of more than 100, housed communally in university dormitories, includes not just an eclectic mix of academics, programmers, and critics but also the filmmakers (themselves from vastly different backgrounds) whose works are being shown and often heatedly debated. If it seems like a recipe for chaos, it often is, but as the week progresses, the collective sense of intellectual disarray actually starts to seem productive, or at least interesting. The Flaherty experience is by turns frustrating and energizing—discussions mired in dead-end circularity alight on provocative insights, rehashed arguments and false dichotomies seem to inch toward new paradigms. As veterans routinely tell you and as newbies quickly find out, there is nothing else quite like it on the film-event calendar.
The 2008 edition, which took place in late June at Colgate University in upstate New York, had the added advantage of an immense and endlessly resonant theme. This year's curator, Chi-hui Yang, director of the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, brought together some 40 shorts and features under the rubric of "The Age of Migration," and his smartly conceptualized program—which ranged from documentaries to multi-channel video art to first-person cine-essays to docu-fiction hybrids—captured the mood of the contemporary global moment, even as it stirred up age-old qualms about the ethics of representation and the authority and responsibility of the filmmaker.
The sheer diversity of Yang's lineup amply proved that as migration becomes at once more ubiquitous and more complicated, the proliferation of stories and themes is matched by an increasing multitude of forms. But while there were about as many approaches as there were films, the works could be broadly divided along micro and macro lines of inquiry, between those that tackled migration as a tangible lived experience and those that explored the invisible forces that dictate and compel population movements across time and space.
The week took shape as an around-the-world tour of displaced communities: Kurds on the Iran-Iraq border (the films of Bahman Ghobadi), Filipinos in war-torn Iraq (Lee Wang's documentary God Is My Safest Bunker), Afghans in a French refugee camp (Laura Waddington's Border), Cape Verdeans in a Lisbon shantytown (the later work of Pedro Costa), American Indians in the pre-gentrified downtown of '50s Los Angeles (Kent MacKenzie's recently rediscovered The Exiles), Laotians on the mean streets of '80s Brooklyn (Ellen Kuras and Thavisouk Phrasavath's The Betrayal). But there were also works that dealt with more abstract and diffuse notions, like historical revisionism (James T. Hong), the globalization of labor (Ursula Biemann), border crossings and trade barriers (Lonnie van Brummelen), and maritime space (Allan Sekula).
The program of Flaherty highlights that is being presented at BAMcinématek this weekend bypasses some of the more idiosyncratic works shown at the seminar (including Alison Kobayashi's sly identity mash-ups and Sylvia Schdelbaeur's found-footage autobiographies). What's most obviously missing, of course, is the peculiar brand of Flaherty delirium—the simultaneous clarity and confusion that arises from seeing these films in the context of the seminar.
By the end of the seminar there had also emerged a clear divide between the avowed populists and what someone called "the art-school zombies." Waddington, speaking for the latter group, contended that many of the discussions had emphasized content at the expense of form, thus ignoring the politics of form. In the heated final session Tajima-Peña butted heads with Sekula, who had filled the role of seminar punching bag on account of his meandering essay films but, more so, for his prickly defensiveness under cross-examination.
It was perhaps fitting that the final discussion of the week was the most unruly and the one that, perversely, offered the least hope of resolution. Not all the filmmakers were dragged into the fray though. Denied a U.S. visa (so much for the age of migration), Ghobadi participated in his sessions via webcam. And Costa—who did make it to Colgate and who's represented in the BAM series with Casa de Lava, his update of I Walked With a Zombie—seemed to stand somewhat apart from the rest of this year's Flaherty, much the way his monumental films seem removed from the rest of contemporary film culture. Turning his discussion sessions into absorbing monologues, he disarmed hostile questioners ("Excruciating? Yes, of course, it's supposed to be painful"), reduced his method to irrefutable basics ("It starts with life, plain and simple"), and even spoke up for those art-school zombies. "I like zombies," he said, putting an end, for the moment, to that particular dispute.

Next in thread: Mark Sullivan: "Re: RARA-AVIS: RE:Craig Rice"
Just about every source mentioning Rice says that she wrote "The G-String Murders" and "Mother Finds A Body." There's some question as to whether she also wrote the mysteries published under actor George Sanders's name. There's a new Rice biography by Jeffrey Marks (I think) that should have all the source material anybody would want. I'm not sure that Rice's novels could be called hardboiled, but they're probably the best examples we have of the screwball mystery. Rice's life may qualify, however. Certainly noire.
An autobiography of Gypsy Rose Lee, "Gypsy," apparently written by Lee herself, became a huge bestseller and was the source for the Broadway musical of the same name. Lee was always considered something of an intellectual. The stripper who reads Schopenhauer in the musical "Pal Joey" is a direct reference to her. | {

Many people who have lost someone close to them say that they have visions of them or moments of their presence after their death.
If this has happened to you, it is a good thing and accept the feeling that you experience.
Some suggest that it is part of the grieving process and your mind will recall memories that will make you feel that the person that you have lost is still in some way with you. If your faith believes in life after death, you can express these recollections as the 'spirit' returning to you. | {

Q: HPLIP: fax driver lost connection with printer Kubuntu 19.10
HPLIP installed by download from the vendor's website.
The printer has a wired ethernet connection.
I am trying to run print-to-fax, and it used to work, but now I am getting error messages. Removing and re-adding the printer doesn't help.
Let me mention that Windows has no trouble running print-to-fax jobs on this printer, using "HP Universal Fax Driver", so I don't think the problem lies with the printer.
The HPLIP troubleshooter says (I pasted the most relevant section first):
error: Unable to communicate with device (code=12): hpfax:/net/Officejet_Pro_6830?ip=XXX

The 2022 Nissan Maxima: We See Exciting Times Ahead
May 31st, 2022 by Fabian Mayers
Share this Post: Share on Facebook Share on Twitter
The New Nissan Maxima isn't just a regular car offering luxury and comfort. With its advanced safety features, it's also perfect for active lifestyles. You can drive it to work in the morning and then switch to a race car at the touch of a button. Feel like a confident driver while you cruise the highway or take a winding road through the mountains, thanks to available intelligent safety features. It's definitely a ride that inspires excitement every time you hit the road.
A Class of Its Own
The Maxima competes well in the large sedan class, with bold styling and a mostly upscale interior, both improvements from the previous model. It comes with a 300-hp V-6 engine and a responsive CVT that lets you select the transmission mode. It handles well, and the brakes let you safely come to a complete stop in 34 meters from 60 mph.
The Maxima SR
One of the Maxima trim levels is the Maxima SR, which is more performance-oriented than other models. The SR comes with upgraded features such as a sport-tuned suspension with retuned dampers and larger stabilizer bars. It also comes with 19-inch sport-specific wheels, LED foglights, and several trim-specific upgrades, including an Alcantara steering wheel with paddle shifters, sport pedals, and Sport and Technology packages.
Driving Safe Is the Default
The Nissan Maxima earned a 2021 Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS, while The NHTSA gave the 2022 Maxima a five-star overall safety rating, the highest possible rating for safety. Every 2022 Maxima comes with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition. The Maxima SR and Platinum trims also get lane centring.
The 2022 Maxima provides ample space in the interior. Legroom for the first row is at a nice 114.3cm, while the second row also has an ample 86.87cm. Cargo space isn't half bad either, with 14.3 cubic feet of space to fill with whatever you can think of!
Maximum Tech
The base Nissan Maxima comes equipped with standard automatic headlights with automatic high beams and a 7.0-inch display in the instrument panel, as well as keyless entry, push-button start, heated side mirrors, and a dual-zone climate control system. For the entertainment system, you get to enjoy an eight-inch touchscreen with navigation, Android Auto and Apple Carplay compatibility, and eight speakers.
The SR trim adds LED foglights, parking sensors, and side mirrors that tilt down when the car is put in reverse. It also features ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel, as well as an 11-speaker premium Bose audio system. Other features that come standard on the SR model include a 360-degree camera system, a six-way power-adjustable passenger seat, and active noise cancellation.
Take it one step further with the Maxima Platinum, the top of the 2022 Maxima line. With this trim, you get a power tilting and telescoping steering column, heated rear seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a rear power window sunshade.
The 2022 Nissan Maxima has a lot to offer you, from its spacious interior to its advanced technology features. It is a safe and reliable ride that provides an exhilarating yet luxurious drive. The SR model is built for performance enthusiasts, and the Platinum model is the best of the best. Choose the model that meets your needs and live your life to the fullest with one of the best rides you can get your hands on!
Experience the ride of your life every day with the 2022 Nissan Maxima. Get yours by coming down to your local Nissan Dealership in Unionville. Schedule a test drive today!

GMP issue warning after driver ignores cones and tries to drive through floods
People were quick to call out the driver for their 'stupidity'
GMP Trafford North / Facebook
GMP has issued a warning to drivers after someone was spotted trying to make their way through flood water.
Police urged everyone to adhere to road closures, following the sighting of a vehicle which ignored cones and decided to drive through the water.
They released a still from CCTV footage which appears to show the motorist stranded in water.
gmpolice / Twitter
GMP Trafford North shared a photo of the stranded car on the B5158 'Mile Road' between Carrington and Flixton, taken this morning, Thursday January 21st.
It appears to show two figures emerging from the vehicle to wade through the water to dry land after getting caught out.
The road was shut today due to flood water from the nearby River Mersey, which rose to dangerously high levels yesterday following torrential rain from Storm Christoph.
This meant drivers had to take a longer route, via the M60, if they wanted to travel between Carrington and Flixton.
The police took to Facebook to share their warning to motorists who might consider ignoring the closure. They said: "We've received reports of people moving road closure signage and attempting to drive through standing water
"Road closures are in place to keep you safe, please observe them and don't end up stranded like this person did."
And people were quick to call out the driver for their 'stupidity' when it comes to trying to save time on their journey.
Bernadette wrote: "Rescue them and charge them double just stupidity", while Dafydd added: "Let them do it then leave them to rescue themselves. The price for stupidity".
Amanda said: "I'd leave them there! I live in Carrington and work 5mins away in Flixton, it didn't take that long to go round".

The RSPCA is looking for people to cuddle rabbits and cats here in Manchester
The dream job!
RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch / Facebook
The RSPCA is on the lookout for kindhearted Mancunians to help with the care of their cats and rabbits across Greater Manchester.
If you dream of cuddling and caring for vulnerable animals while they wait for their forever homes, this could be the opportunity for you as several volunteer roles have become available at the Manchester and Salford branches of the RSPCA.
In 2021, the teams had a total of 624 animals admitted into their care, and saw 503 of these animals rehomed – 259 cats, 117 rabbits, and 127 'smalls'.
However, the Eccles Road-based RSPCA centre is required to raise all of its own funds to operate, so relies heavily on the help of volunteers in order to keep things running smoothly.
Volunteers are responsible for jobs such as cleaning the enclosures and spending quality time with the rescued animals in order to socialise them ahead of their adoptions.
And now, the branch has posted an advertisement for these positions, which reads: "Join our wonderful team of volunteers at our small animal centre in Salford.
"We are looking for folks who can commit to a weekly slot (a couple of roles are available fortnightly) for at least the next three months, and this is because a lot of time is taken training volunteers and so temporary placements are not manageable for us."
For insurance reasons, RSPCA Manchester & Salford says it is looking for volunteers who are over eighteen years of age, and said that any applicant who has cats, dogs, rabbits or ferrets in their home must be up to date with their vaccinations.
The roles on offer are as follows:
Cattery Cleaning: 8:30am/9am start on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, either weekly or fortnightly.
Small Animal Room Cleaning: Start between 8:30am – 10am on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Cat Socialising: Anytime from 1pm until 4pm on Mondays – Fridays.
Rabbit Socialising: Anytime from 12:30pm until 4pm, seven days a week.
If you think you're up to joining the volunteer team at RSPCA Manchester & Salford and have plenty of cuddles to give, then you can email [email protected] for more information.

Morrisons has become the latest retailer to announce the controversial policy
Jim Barton / Geograph & @morrisons / Instagram
Morrisons has confirmed it has cut sick pay for unvaccinated staff members who have to self-isolate after being exposed to Covid.
Following Ikea's decision to lower the sick pay rate for unvaccinated staff members last week, the supermarket chain has made a similar announcement as their staff absences continue to rise.
Much like those employed by the Swedish furniture retailer, unjabbed Morrisons workers – who usually get paid at least £10 an hour – will now get statutory sick pay of £96.35 a week if they are told to isolate but test negative.
@morrisons / Instagram
Covid-positive staff will get full sick pay regardless of vaccination status, however.
According to The Guardian, Morrisons executive Dave Potts first mentioned the policy in a conference call with investors in September 2021 as part of a plan to tackle the 'biblical costs' of dealing with the Covid pandemic.
Potts said Morrison's had been on the 'front foot' in helping workers stay safe during the pandemic, saying: "We are normalising some of those policies."
The newspaper reported that this move was the supermarket's way of encouraging their staff to take the vaccine.
The requirement for fully-vaccinated people to isolate when exposed to Covid was dropped in England in August, meaning unvaccinated workers were more likely to take time off than their vaccinated colleagues as a Covid contact.
And just one week ago, the health secretary announced that the Covid isolation period had been reduced from seven days to five.
Sajid Javid revealed the move in a Commons statement to MPs last week, citing data from the UK Health Security Agency and saying: "Two-thirds of positive cases are no longer infectious by the end of day five."
This means people will be able to leave isolation if they test negative on days five and six regardless of vaccination status.
The tea has been praised by a number of sleep-deprived Aldi customers
Debbie Blayney / Facebook
Insomniacs, rejoice; Aldi customers have been hailing one of the supermarket's teas as 'better than sleeping pills'.
And, better yet, a box of the tea itself costs just 69p for twenty teabags.
Aldi's Diplomat Night Time tea was brought to the attention of fans of the budget supermarket in the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook group courtesy of a shopper called Debbie.
Debbie shared a photo of the tea, which is passionfruit flower, camomile and apple flavoured, and revealed that she was trying it for the first time 'to see if it works'.
Debbie's post was inundated with comments from other satisfied customers, with one writing: "I tried for the first time last night and slept so well!!
"It could of [sic] been the 16,000 steps I did as well and my lavender pillow mist spray or just being knackered. It tasted lovely and would highly recommend it."
Another even said the tea helped with their anxiety, writing: "I've been taking the sleep one since 2 days ago and honestly it works better than sleeping pills and also works on my anxiety levels so I drink a cup here and then during the day…. And the taste is lovely too!!"
Sadly, Debbie didn't quite get the experience she was hoping for with the tea, saying in a follow up post that while it made her feel more relaxed, it made her 'want to wee twice'.
Another person agreed that while the tea tastes lovely, it didn't have the desired knock-out effect they'd hoped for, writing: "Soooo tired this morning. But I will give it the benefit of doubt and stick with it!
"I will either be a walking zombie by next weekend or I will be full of beans! Time will tell! On a plus note, it tastes lovely!"
Visit the Aldi website for more information on the tea.

Championship side Bournemouth are reportedly looking at Callum Wilson as Lewis Grabban's replacement as he heads towards a move to Cardiff City.
Recently relegated Cardiff last week triggered a release clause in Grabban's contract and The Cherries are acting quickly to bring in his replacement.
Wilson, 22, who only signed a new two-year contract with The Sky Blues in October, scored 21 goals in League One in 2013/2014 and was named in the League One Team of the Year.
Both Wilson, and City manager Steven Pressley have spoken publicly about how they expect Wilson to be in a City shirt next season but it's unclear with Financial Fair Play rules how tempted the club would be to cash in on it's prized asset if Bournemouth tabled a significant bid.
If Wilson was to leave, it would leave Pressley without both of his main striker from last season, with Leon Clarke having jumped ship to Wolves in January after forming a deadly partnership with Wilson.

Cinder Ella
How long had it been since she had seen the outside world? All she knew was the inside of her father's castle, well at least in the last ten years. Most of that time the woman spent in the dungeons, only being let out to clean the castle that her step mother and step sisters now ruled over. The three made her life a living hell. Every day she was let out of her shackles to clean. Her cruel sisters would blast her body with spells to make her scream. Constantly, pain wracked her body only matched by the way the woman felt like dirt. She was not allowed any help through her daily cleaning routine. Although, when her sisters and mother were busy with other matters of the state, she summoned animals to help her finish her chores. This gave her time to rest and to catch up on reading. Today was not one of those days. Today they had shackled her particularly tight and had thrown the usually cinders into her eyes. They called her Cinder, not even addressing her by her real name.
Cinder was fading in and out of consciousness. Someone stood in front of her; a person she swore was glowing with light. She shook her head thinking it was only a hallucination from the lack of food.
Then the figure talked, "Ella, daughter of the king of the land of Gaul, a place bathed in sunlight and blessed with the rich soil of volcano. You have suffered greatly these past ten years. The injustice you have suffered is incalculable, but it was not without purpose. Unknown to you, you have been building up strength to take back your kingdom. Your father had a noble heart and that same heart beats in you."
Finding her voice, the princess responded, "Who… who are you?" Her eyes could now focus on the stranger. She wore a long pink dress embroidered with flames as a red veil lay over their head. Around her neck she wore a golden necklace embedded with a Ruby in its center. The red head had a sweet smile and lovely complexion as warmth seemed to radiate from her.
"My name is Hestia, goddess of hearth, architecture, domesticity, and fire. I was a virgin for many a century until meeting your father. He was such a kind man, taking me into his home without seeking anything in return after I was injured by a chimera. He intended to my wounds and listened to the advice I gave him about his castle. I felt so warm around him. This filled my being until I decided to no longer contain it. That was how you were born. The only reason I left was due to an urgent matter on Mount Olympus. When it had passed, and I had finally returned, your father had been enchanted by your stepmother before being killed by her."
A tear fell on the goddess' face before she continued. "I sought advice from an oracle in the far-off region of China in the territory owned by the Shang. She revealed to me the only way to defeat the wretched woman and her enchanted daughters. She foretold to me that my daughter would avenge the death of her father once she reached the age of nineteen. Within you has the potential to blaze a fire bright enough to snuff out your oppressors." Her mother said as a fire lit in her hand. She floated it to her daughter's chest as it sank within it. "Trust in the fire that burns within you my daughter. Know always that I am with you." With that, she disappeared within a burst of flames.
As her mother vanished, the princess could hear footsteps coming down the staircase. Her vile stepmother Tremaine dressed in an expensive gown made of silk and other fine linens. Jewels adorned her fingers and the crown of the former king set upon her head.
The old bat stuck her nose up to Ella as she spoke, "Ah, if it isn't my deceased husband's bastard child, all full of ash upon your face. The name Cinder really suits you my dear. Now, the only reason I grace you with my presence is that you left the kitchen quite a mess the last time you cleaned. You should no better to leave specks on my dishes. So…" The cruel woman pulled from her side a cat of nines whip. "You must be punished." Strike after strike hit the princess' stomach as the warmth her mother's fire began to spread. The more she was hit, the more the fire burned brighter as she felt a new surge of power. Still, her cruel stepmother did not notice as she continued her attack.
The old crow's words soon confirmed her doom. "Your mother was nothing but a common whore. No wonder she left you to rot." That did it. The cuffs around her wrists and ankles melted away as fire erupted from her fingertips. Tremaine scurried back like a rodent at the sight of pure power standing in front of her. The locks of hair that hung from Ella's shoulders acted as an inferno while flowing into the air. The princess' eyes turned into a crimson red while she stared at her abuser. Pure terror was the last feeling the stepmother felt as the blaze burned her to an unrecognizable crisp.
From the charred corpse, Ella ripped the crown from her stepmother's head and placed it upon herself. She strode up the stairs, scorching the floor with each step. As the door opened, she was met by a host of knights that had heard the former queen's screams. They were mystified by the sight before them, but soon brushed this off as they charged forward. These mere mortals were no match while they cooked in their own armor. Through the castle she went, cleansing it from the putridness her step mother had wrought. The men that the former queen had employed were pathetic fighters and were no match for the true ruler's fury. The real challenges soon approached her. Her two step sisters were glowing with menacing magic and screamed like hell cats. Blast after blast they met in strength, shaking the very foundation of the castle. The duo could see they were making no ground and summoned cat-like men with glowing red eyes. Valiantly, she fought against wave after wave of these creatures; her strength never failing her. Realizing that she could not keep this up forever, she summoned a wall of flames that barricaded her from the enemy.
With great haste, Ella retreated further into the castle; stumbling across a young man named Henri. Before striking him down, he bowed to her and pleaded, "Please Princess Ella! I live to serve you and your lineage. My family, the Charmers, have served yours for generations. We were your father's oracles and kept many secrets from the vile Tremaine. When she stuck your father down, she did the same to mine. I was forced to serve as a foot servant to the trio. I endured in the hopes that one day you would finally rise to power. Your father knew this day would come and trusted my family with this container; saying only you would be able to open it." From the sack on his back, he pulled a large metal sphere and set it at the feet of the princess. As her hands touched the strange object, it began to glow as it opened to reveal a peculiar pair of objects. It was two glass slippers with parchment stuck between them. The princess took the latter and began to read what was inscribed upon it.
"My sweet Ella. I fear that I will be long dead before you read this and that you have suffered for my weakness. Tremaine and her twisted daughters have been enchanting me. Only for brief moments I am not under their spell and in these moments, I seek to ensure your future. The people will gladly follow you once you dispense those hags. These slippers will allow you to turn your bird friends you sang to as a child into much more magnificent creatures. I love you my daughter and even in my death, I will always be with you. Love your dad, Gentille son of Doux."
A tear fell from Ella's eyes as it steamed on her cheek. For years she thought she had no love but was clearly wrong. She sang an ancient song as her birds flocked together before her. Slipping into the gifts her father gave her, the princess focused on the flock as fire whirled around them. They soon changed form and size as Phoenixes now perched before her. Astonished at their transformation, she patted each of them as she turned to face her enemy again. The demon cat-men filled the hall as she made their way toward them. They mewed a twisted cry as they came slashing toward her. It was then her birds erupted behind her and tossed her oppressors against one another. Beaks tore into flesh as the twisted creatures could not stand against Ella and her forces. Hearing the howls of their minions, the two witches turned the corner to see their step sister with her own followers. Blasts of magic launched from their hands as they tried to keep the Phoenixes at bay. It was no use. Ella protected them with shields of fire as they eliminated the entirety of the cat-like horde. All that was left were the two hags.
The Phoenixes took to the air alight with fire as they whirled around their enemy. A fiery tornado formed around the witches. In vain, they attempted to escape; trying spell after spell to escape. Nothing worked. Fear overtook their being before getting struck down with a fiery sword through each of their chests. Like their mother, they were burnt beyond recognition as Ella stood over them triumphant. Henri of the prophet family of Charmers proclaimed a joyous victory, spreading the word throughout the kingdom. Soon, villagers flocked to the castle, exalting their princess with praises. She was soon made Queen of Gaul and appointed Henri her high priest, reestablishing the fallen order. They dedicated the new directive to the goddess Hestia, whose ideals of a safe home and loving family were followed for many years to come. Still, the new queen would feel unrest and would partake in many adventures to come, calling herself Cinderella.

PERTH AMBOY – Hershel Chomsky is holding onto tradition with both hands. The Perth Amboy man prays alone in the all-but-closed Congregation Shaarey Tefiloh on Market Street as he continues to challenge the building's sale by the congregation board.
On April 5, Chomsky discovered that six Torahs, including one from the Holocaust, were missing from the 110-year-old Orthodox synagogue.
Shaarey Tefiloh was founded as an Orthodox synagogue in 1903. It had a thriving congregation in its heyday, with more than 1,000 people cramming into the sanctuary on the High Holy Days during the 1950s. That structure was destroyed in a fire in 1975, after which the current building on Market Street was built.
As the city's demographics shifted over the years, the congregation slowly dwindled. Regular minyanim (traditionally, a group of 10 men required for prayer) continued until a few years ago.
In 2010, in light of the drastic decline in membership, the congregation board voted to sell the synagogue to Science of Spirituality, an organization that follows leader Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj and is committed to a spiritual way of life based on meditation and service to others. Chomsky opposed the move and took the matter to court. Throughout the trials and appeals, Chomsky continued to tend to the synagogue, materially and spiritually, the committee's letter said.
In a letter from the Beth Din of Elizabeth (the local religious court that governs Jewish people and organizations), the members of the board that voted to sell the synagogue and continue a secular court battle were chastised and sanctioned.
"Unfortunately, you have chosen to disregard the requirements of Jewish Law, and have refused to have the matter in dispute — the sale of Shaarey Tefiloh synagogue — resolved by this or any other beth din, but have continued your action in secular court," Rabbi Elazar M. Teitz wrote in a letter dated Dec. 21. 2011. "As a result, we herewith issue a seiruv (writ of refusal) against you."
That "seiruv" renders the men disqualified, under the synagogue's constitution, from serving as officers of the synagogue. Further, the Beth Din letter noted that the constitution of Shaarey Tefiloh calls "for all its matters to be conducted in accordance with Orthodox Jewish Law." That stipulates that the matter should have been reviewed by a Beth Din and not a secular court, Teitz said.
"No one has the authority to take any steps toward the sale of the synagogue," the rabbi said in the letter.
In July, 2013, a state Appellate Court panel ruled that Congregation Shaarey Tefiloh didn't violate its bylaws by selling its Perth Amboy building to the international spirituality and meditation group. The $925,000 garnered in the sale was intended to maintain upkeep on the synagogues' three cemeteries.
The sale was challenged by Chomsky and his sister, Zephyr Chomsky of Edison, and Dr. Alan Goldsmith. The Chomskys are the children of Rabbi Aaron Chomsky, who served as religious leader at the synagogue from 1983 to 1992. Goldsmith grew up in Perth Amboy and is founder and president of the Jewish Renaissance Medical Center there.
In response, the three members who tried to block the sale took the case to the state Supreme Court and asked for certification, said attorney Larry Loigman of Middletown. While the Supreme Court did not grant certification, Loigman said, Chomsky filed another suit in trial court.
"We have been heard several times but have not been granted relief," Loigman said.
Loigman said he expects a decision in that case shortly and will appeal if necessary.
"We are continuing on religious grounds that this is the right thing to do and we will continue to do so," he said. "We are also proceeding with further action before the Beth Din, a religious tribunal, to ask that additional sanctions be imposed for that proceeding."
The Police Department investigated the case and located the missing Torahs.
"The Torahs had been moved by one of the parties involved with the legal proceedings," said Police Chief Benjamin Ruiz. "All parties involved have now been notified of the new location. It continues to be a legal issue at this point."
"I am shocked and heartbroken that someone would remove the Sifrei Torah from the sanctuary," Chomsky said.

Quotes about the workshop:
"Aretha is dedicated to preserving the pureness of this technique, which from my point of view assists the actor to find the courage to find themself and then to fly. I believe she has, innately and amazingly, all the elements of the technique of both Viola Spolin and Viola's son, the extraordinary director, Paul Sills. I have studied with Aretha, and believe me, the thrill lives on." – Paul Sand, Tony Award winner, Paul Sills' Story Theater; Original Second City cast member
"Aretha Sills, carrying on the work of Spolin and Sills, is an amazing, insightful side-coach and teacher. We were fortunate enough to take a workshop in L.A. with her and it helped us reconnect with theater game work on a deeper level. She knows her stuff. Can't wait to work with her again!" – Deb Lacusta & Dan Castellaneta, The Simpsons, actor & writers
"As an educator and instructor of acting and directing, I was eager to learn about the American theater improvisation developed by Viola Spolin and expounded by Paul Sills. Aretha Sills provides an insight into the authentic roots of the system that has been utilized for years by theatre training programs. The workshop will provide you with an excellent opportunity to explore various games and exercises to enrich your view of performance and acting." -Norma Saldivar, professor and chair, UNLV Department of Theatre, and executive director of the Nevada Conservatory Theatre
"Aretha is one of the century's best improvisation teachers. Like her grandmother before her, she understands people, theater, and improvisation in an intuitive and deep way. As someone who has studied with some of the top teachers in the country and has performed for over 15 years, I can honestly say Aretha's work opened my eyes. I understood improv on a deeper level. I was refreshed and returned to beginner's mind." -David Alger, founder Pan Theater

Q: Bootstrap Collapse Button & Collapsible list group not collapsed Can anyone help with this?
I am so beginner with Bootstrap and practicing it from its site but I don't know how to make it collapsed.
I liked collapse.js, jquery.min.js, bootstrap.min.js, transition.js and added the below into html.
It shows the hidden div but when clicking the button again, it doesn't collapse the well part back.
<a class="btn btn-primary" role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
Link with href
</a>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
Button with data-target
</button>
<div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
<div class="well">
...
</div>
</div>
It's the same as Collapsible list group as below.
It shows the hidden content after clicking the tab but if I click it again, it doesn't hide the content.
<div class="panel-group" role="tablist">

Please advise me.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
A: What versions do you use bootstrap and Jquery.According bootstarp 4.0.0 , you should use jquery 1.9.1. And then you don't need to use collapse.js and transition.js.These are also include in bootstrap.min.js.

This might not be happening on all of the shingles at the same time. Therefore, just because you are not noticing the curling of shingles on some of the shingles does not mean that this issue is not happening with other shingles. Because of this, you will want to grab a pair of binoculars so you can look over all of the shingles on all sides of the roof. If some are curling, it is a sign that they are past their prime and that they need to be replaced.
You may or may not notice the shingles on the ground or in your gutters. They might have come disconnected from the roof and blew away into a neighboring yard during a strong wind storm. This is why it is so important for you to occasionally look up at your roof to determine if there are any that are missing. If there are, it is a sign that the shingles are now so old that the nails are ripping right through them when the wind blows hard enough. You can nail down a few replacement shingles to help protect the roof for right now. However, you need to get in touch with a skilled roofer to replace the asphalt shingles before more of them start to fall off.
This is usually a job that a skilled homeowner can do on their own. However, if you do not have any experience with roofing or you have a roof that is a very steep pitch, you may want to leave this up to the professionals. After all, working on a roof can be extremely dangerous. One slip up and you could fall to the ground. The professional residential roofing company will have experienced professionals, along with high-quality tools and safety equipment. | {

What are your travels plans for the summer holidays? Are you planning to remain back home or take your family along with you to some overseas locales? You might be tired of the same routine that takes place every year. It is just visiting some country, visit the cities, enjoy a bit of architecture and other normal tourist stuff like shopping, visiting the museums, and at the end of the day returning to the hotel. Chances are that your family likes this type of trips, but have they been provided with an alternative?
Chances are bright that they have been not. It is high time that you took them on a special hiking trip in Germany. Each country is famous for one aspect or the other. Switzerland is famous for its Alps, Egypt for its pyramids… but as far as nature and tranquility is concerned, there is nothing to beat Germany. The pristine mountain paths, the scenic parks, the lovely lakes… all of them make Germany a different tourist locale from the rest. It is not for nothing that Germany is often referred to as the `lung of Europe.' The vast swathes of greenery that you will find over there will please your heart to no end.
Once you have completed the above, it is time to hike from one heritage site to the other as you begin your journey in Bingen. There are various tourist attractions in this place including the Mouse Tower. The start of the trail is from the Drusus Bridge across River Nahe. Keep on hiking through the Hunsruck hills that take you back in the past to the Roman Empire. Your ultimate destination in this route is Trier. There are countless things to discover in this route including Roman games at the Ausoniushutte where you can find a section of the original Roman road. When in this area check out the flower filled summer meadows of the Hunsruck hills which is one of the best abodes of Mother Nature.
Those who prefer architectural structures like massive circular towers and medieval castles should opt for the Burgenwanderwerg/Naturpark Hoher Flaming path. This will permit you to take a 122 kilometer circular path that are chock full of historical and cultural highlights like magnificent palaces and exquisite churches. Check out the dry valleys that have been created by the glaciers of the ice age. These all are just the tip and there is much more for those who are interested in hiking in Germany. | {

Ahmed Shaheed, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, briefs the Human Rights Council on Monday 12 March. A former foreign minister of the Maldives, Dr. Shaheed was appointed to his post last June after a period of some nine years during which no one had held that position. UN Photo/Jean-Marc Ferré.
GENEVA, Switzerland — The United Nations investigator into human rights in Iran has sharply criticized the country's system of justice and human rights record.
UN Special Rapporteur Ahmed Shaheed told a meeting of the Human Rights Council here that he had received testimony from more than 141 witnesses which highlighted "multifarious and systematic deficits in the Government's capacity to ensure respect for human rights."
And in his formal written report to the Council, Dr. Shaheed focused to an extent not previously seen in UN investigations of Iran on the overall failure of the country's justice system. Violations of due process were chronic, he said, and "vaguely defined security provisions" are applied in ways that "unduly limit freedom of expression, association and assembly."
"In many cases, witnesses reported that they were arrested for activities protected by international law, and that they were detained in solitary confinement for prolonged periods with no access to legal counsel or family members, and in the absence of formal charges," Dr. Shaheed told the meeting.
The Special Rapporteur reported a dramatic increase in the number of executions carried out in the Islamic Republic – more than 600 during the year 2011, many for crimes not considered serious under international law. Iranian authorities have also stepped up their detention of journalists and lawyers, he said, and continued their persecution of ethnic and religious minorities.
Country and NGO representatives at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, participating in an interactive dialog with the Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, 12 March 2012.
Baha'is continue to be arbitrarily arrested and detained for their beliefs, noted Dr. Shaheed, in violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Baha'is are also subjected to "severe socio-economic pressure," facing deprivations of "property, employment and education."
Monday's session offered an interactive dialogue between the Special Rapporteur and Human Rights Council members. His concerns were promptly echoed by a majority of the nations addressing the session. Some 15 countries specifically highlighted the situation of Iran's Baha'is.
Brazil's delegate – João Genésio de Almeida Filho – said his government had a "particular concern" about "allegations of the systematic persecution of members of unrecognized religious communities, particularly the Baha'i community."
Referring to Iran's state-sponsored campaign of demonizing Baha'is in the media, Veronika Stromsikova – delegate of the Czech Republic – said her country concurred with Dr. Shaheed's observation that "the government's tolerance of an intensive defamation campaign against members of the Baha'i community incites discrimination" in breach of international treaties.
Bani Dugal – the principal representative of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations – reported that Baha'is in Iran today face "multiple violations, across the entire spectrum of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights" running "literally from kindergarten to the grave."
"We also agree with your presentation of the underlying obstacles," she told Dr. Shaheed, "including elements of the legal framework and lack of adherence to the rule of law – none of which are being addressed by the government."
"As you clearly state, impunity continues to prevail in Iran, and certain individuals are exempted from laws and regulations meant to restrain the abuse of power," said Ms. Dugal.
A Special Section includes detailed information about Iran's campaign to deny higher education to Baha'is. Another Special Report offers articles about the seven Iranian Baha'i leaders – their lives, their imprisonment, trial and sentencing.
The International Reaction page is regularly updated with responses from governments, nongovernmental organizations, and prominent individuals, to actions taken against the Baha'is of Iran. The Media Reports page presents a digest of media coverage from around the world.

The impeachment of Philadelphia's DA is misguided and a bad precedent
November 23, 2022 at 3:23 p.m. EST
District Attorney Larry Krasner speaks in Philadelphia on May 14, 2021. (Claudia Lauer/AP)
The Pennsylvania House has impeached liberal Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, setting up a possible trial in the state Senate that could lead to his removal from office. Though Mr. Krasner's approach to law enforcement raises genuine concerns, especially in light of the peril that crime poses in Philadelphia, the effort to oust him is misguided, an affront to local control and democratic choice. If successful, the recall would set a dangerous precedent.
Sign up for a weekly roundup of thought-provoking ideas and debatesArrowRight
Mr. Krasner, first elected in 2017 as the city's top prosecutor, was overwhelmingly reelected last year in a city with a large African American population. Many Black leaders have supported his progressive policies, which have included reducing sentences and prison time and treating drug use as a public health issue. But as Philadelphia's murder rate has risen, taking a high toll in minority neighborhoods, he has also become a growing target of criticism. When Mr. Krasner declared last December that there was no "crisis of crime" in the city, former mayor Michael Nutter, a Democrat who is Black, wrote a scorching op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It takes a certain audacity of ignorance and white privilege to say that right now," Mr. Nutter wrote. (The district attorney subsequently apologized for what he said were ill-chosen words that "did not acknowledge the pain and the hurt that people feel in the city of Philadelphia.")
All of this is something for the Philadelphia voters who elected Mr. Krasner to judge. Instead, despite the fact that he has committed no crime or misconduct, the state legislature has stepped in. The Republican-controlled House last week voted 107-85, largely along party lines, to impeach Mr. Krasner, blaming his policies for the city's rise in violent crime. Republicans rushed the vote during a lame-duck session, a day before the final results of the midterm elections showed that Democrats have won control of the chamber. It will now be up to the Senate to decide whether and when to hold a trial. A two-thirds vote would be needed to remove Mr. Krasner; Republicans have a majority but not enough to convict without support from some Democrats.
Impeachment of an official elected by voters is extremely rare in Pennsylvania, employed only twice in 235 years in cases involving judges. That lawmakers didn't impeach prosecutors who had been accused of actual crimes — including a predecessor of Mr. Krasner who was indicted on corruption charges while in office and ended up sentenced to five years for bribery — makes the move against Mr. Krasner all the more misbegotten.
Mr. Krasner is part of a wave of prosecutors elected in recent years who have pushed communities to move away from indiscriminate application of long sentences and toward policies that seek to divert nonviolent offenders from the criminal justice system to drug treatment, mental health care or other programs. Prosecutions have been reserved for the most serious crimes. These progressive prosecutors have faced pushback from conservatives and traditional law enforcement officials who allege policies such as no cash bail or not trying juveniles as adults have caused the surge in violent crime since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
It is too soon to conclude that there is a linkage between progressive reforms and spikes in crime. Some communities with more traditional prosecutors have seen a rise in violent crime, and one study found that homicides rose by lower amounts in places with progressive ones in place. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. It's noteworthy that in the recent midterms, progressive prosecutors still managed to prevail in both red and blue states — even as Republicans sought to double down on crime as an issue.
The election of prosecutors is premised on the principle that voters should have the power to set the criminal justice agenda they think is best suited for their communities. Voters, right or wrong, have twice chosen Mr. Krasner. That lawmakers in Harrisburg want to substitute their views not only subverts the will of the voters but also potentially makes any local elected official a political target.

If you enjoy bird watching – we have birds. If you enjoy fishing – we have fish. If you enjoy historic sites – we have them a plenty. If you enjoy Geocaching – then stay with us and get ready to have some fun!
One of the best overnight experiences ever. The evening snack was delicious and the breakfast outstanding! The room was clean and with excellent facilities. The bonus was several hours of exchanging stories about the unique 19th and early 20th century history of the area. By the way, we couldn't find any of the bullet holes in the ceiling from that 19th century bar fight.
Mary and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Trail City B & B. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the wonderful breakfasts. We will surely try to stay there again and hopefully take advantage of the bicycles. Thanks again for being such a great hostess.
I see you are interested in the history of Trail City. I am president of the Dodge City Trail of Fame in Dodge City and we, too, have a strong interest in preserving that history, especially as it relates to "Print" Olive who is interred in Maple Grove cemetery.
Today I happened to meet Mr. Vic Fisher who apparently owns the land the city occupies. In talking with him we discovered that he would like to see the site/history preserved as well.
I will be contacting the Kansas State Historical Society (whom we have worked with in the past) in an effort to find a way to curate and preserve the site and its history. I would be very interested in any information you might have including pictures, drawings, legal property descriptions…etc. I believe we can also bring the Wichita State Anthropology department on board at some point to do excavation and preservation. State and Federal funds are often available for well documented and prepared projects like this.
I am a retired meteorologist living in Dodge City and my wife, Carolyn, is an archaeologist.
Please feel free to contact us at your convenience and lets see what we can come up with.
Dodge City Trail of Fame, Inc.
This is a wonderful place to relax and not to mention out of this world hospitality.
We were truly blessed to be able to stay the night here. Thanks to Lori & LaRue Lennen!
My great grandfather was Stephen N. Canfield and he owned a hotel in Trail City that I have been told was later moved Coolidge. I was wondering if you knew who the owner of your building was when it was still in Trail City?
Staying at the Trail City B&B was such a comfortable experience. Great room with private bath and great breakfast, especially the homemade french toast covered with corn flake-coating, strawberries, powdered sugar! Lori knows when to visit, when to let you be and her passion for Coolidge helps you get to know this small town. I highly recommend a stay here! | {

There was no doubt that Henrietta Janes was overweight. Her parents knew it, her schoolmates knew it, and of course she knew it when she looked at herself in the long hallway mirror; but this self-awareness – one which would have let her face facts, trim down, get healthy, and be more attractive – was so tamped down and squelched by well-meaning parents, teachers, pastors, and relatives that she came to not only accept her weight as normal but beautiful.
Henrietta's era was far from the 'inclusive' one of today where no shape, feature, stature, or skin coloring is ever marginal; where there is no such thing as overweight, underweight, short, too tall, or ungainly; where self-image is never measured against norms and standards; and where fatness or a bad complexion are nothing more than the distorted perceptions of others.
This canon worked well enough until Henrietta got to middle school where bitchiness is born and nurtured. The in-crowd – a group of svelte rich girls from the West End who wintered in Palm Beach and Gstaad and summered on Nantucket – were merciless and bloody when it came to those who did not fit in. Anyone who was not made in their image – slender, blonde, blemish-free, tall, alluring, and athletic – was relegated to the margins of the 8th grade. Noses had to be fine and straight. Lips full and sensuous. Breasts small, pert, and cute.
Hair could never be thin, stringy, or frizzy. It had to be full and lustrous, thick and luxuriant.
All the girls bought their clothes at the same shop – Maggie Parsons' in West Hartford. Maggie had studied under Betsy Johnson, had apprenticed at her stores in Manhattan and Los Angeles, and had come out with her own line in the late Sixties – not quite as severe as Betsy's, nor cut in the same bold lines that matched Vidal Sassoon's equally radical haircuts. Her creations were more suited to old Connecticut which appreciated tradition and quality but was not unwilling to turn a hem or neckline.
The girls did look remarkably alike but there was no Village of the Damned spookiness. In fact, they had been formed in the image of success. Everyone in America wanted to look like them and be as gracefully agile on the dance floor, smooth and silky down the slopes of Aspen. Tanned and fit after a summer at the Vineyard.
They embodied classic American beauty, more the California healthy good looks beauty and far from anything New York classic or Main Line Victorian elegance; but it was the look for Middle America in the days before ethnic pluralism, and the stunning mixed race beauty of the New multicultural age. They as a group would look different now – skin tones on a broader spectrum, hair of all textures and lengths Lips, noses, and cheekbones reflecting different national origins.
Today objective judgments of beauty, elegance, allure, and attractiveness are dismissed entirely, beauty is redefined as an inner resources, and the idea of the 'human composite' current. According to this theory, we are all genetic composites of our parents and ancestors. Given the quirks and strange turnings of Mendelian genetic theory, parents can never be sure whom their new baby will resemble. It might have the brilliance of Great Grandfather Elvin who worked with Oppenheimer and Fermi, or the ne'er-do-well carelessness of Boulvardier Frank of the Liggett side of the family. It might come out pudgy and good-humored, or dark and sour. Who could predict?
Especially given the permissive sexual mores of the day, the potpourri of races and ethnicities in America, and increased importance placed on DNA, such tolerance is to be expected, but up to a point. No matter how inclusive campus societies are configured to be, young girls still follow the leads of Hollywood. No matter how campus progressives choose to demean physical beauty and promote the Bernal Heights look (flannel shirts, jeans, and work boots), girls still would rather look like Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, or the models on the covers of Vogue, Elle, and Cosmopolitan.
This normative standard of beauty is seen not only on women's magazines, but men's as well. There is no difference at all between the models. There is one and only one standard of beauty in America.
The problem is, of course, than only one in many thousands of young girls are going to end up on the cover of women's magazines and far fewer will ever come close to the normative idea of American beauty.
Progressive reformers deal with this issue by pretending that it does not exist. Regardless of Hollywood, New York fashion magazines, the runways of Los Angeles, Paris, and Milan, they say; or the boutiques of San Francisco and New Orleans, they insist that physical beauty is a chimera, an artificial construct devised out of sales.
These social reformers have created safe, unthreatening, if not congenial environments for all women where the very nature of a woman but never her body alone, is to be admired. The reality, however, is far from this idealistic view. Would that 'the very nature of a woman' be celebrated and elusive femininity sought.
Savvy men have always desired complex, indefinable women who may or may not have physical beauty but have, like Shakespeare's women, complexity, will, and ambition. Yes, they are attracted first to Cleopatra, but fall for Rosalind and even Goneril as well.
Promoting such sophisticated feminine traits is of course just whistlin' Dixie. Most American women will always fall far short of the average let alone the high margins of Hedda Gabler, Miss Julie, or Lady Macbeth.
In short, the attempt to create safe interior spaces for women does them an injustice. Coddled and protected from reality results in apathy; and the perpetual war between the sexes, let alone the struggle for reproductive supremacy are such than hiding in parlors with the curtains drawn will help no one.
Facing facts is another word for it. Taking stock of one's abilities, traits, and points, and figuring out ways to negotiate for traction and mobility in a world where the deck has already been stacked is essential. The West Enders, the models on Vogue, and Cosmo, and the starlets of Hollywood will always be the norm; and given the hyper-competitive society of America today, savvy women figure out how to approach the ideal and complement it with other seductive attractions.
All of the above goes for men as well who are given to the same envies, jealousies, and desires for physical conformity as women. There is no way that an American man can watch but ignore the attractive, virile, able leading men on the screen.
Safe spaces are no less folly when provided for those whose 'otherness' is threatened. From early primary school on, students are taught the theory of multiple intelligences. Some children can do math problems, others color, dance, or run well. Such 'inclusivity' distorts the intellectual marketplace as it does for other normative behavior. Students with less math ability cannot afford to give it up for origami or kite-making, but must achieve the highest level possible within their limitations.
Racial stereotyping and prejudice are functions of otherness. When African Americans' social and intellectual norms become no different from those of whites, they will be easily integrated and welcomed. As long as they retreat to safe spaces – whether in college or in the ghetto where street creds remain the isolating norm – they will remain disadvantaged and delayed.
Gay men and women understand that they are a distinct and small minority; and negotiating their way in a profoundly heterosexual culture is not easy; but made harder if free expression of criticism, doubt, and suspicion about their lifestyle and sexual preference is stifled.
Full integration in to society – American or other – will never be accomplished by self-image, safe spaces, or identity politics. If there is one pervasive and historical American trait, it is duking it out in the marketplace. The ethnic minorities of the early 20th century – Italians, Jews, Irish – fought for territory, power, and social hegemony the hard way – in the streets, defending their turf and their women. Integration happened quickly – the result of accommodation to the norm and fighting adversaries. There was no hiding either from others or oneself.
'Get over it' does not mean acquiescence; but a realistic reaction to majority opinion. Minorities as groups and as individuals need to face facts, decide how much they want to achieve and adhere to the norm, and then act. Protection, no matter how well-meaning, is counter productive. | {

TPG has called for the competition watchdog to regulate wholesale ADSL, claiming that the customers it lost when Telstra jacked up its wholesale DSL prices had overwhelmingly jumped to Telstra as a result.
In a submission to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) inquiry on whether to regulate the wholesale ADSL market, TPG said that Telstra had brought about a "technical barrier" to competition by using pair gains and remote-integrated multiplexers in suburbs and regional and rural Australia, meaning that rival telcos could not install their own DSLAM equipment and faced wholesaling through Telstra directly at a much higher cost.
The company noted that between April and September 2010, when Telstra began raising prices for wholesale DSL in June, the churn of customers from TPG to Telstra rose from 35.04 per cent to 72.55 per cent.
By securing the highest number of customers through the price squeeze, Telstra is gearing up to increase its profits on the National Broadband Network (NBN), TPG stated.
"TPG believes that Telstra's strategy with the price squeeze is to secure increased market share in the regions which will have the result, post-NBN, of increasing Telstra's profits."
Armed with the $11 billion from its deal with NBN Co, Telstra would also seek to lock customers into 24-month contracts on the NBN, TPG said.
The telco said that it is unlikely to invest in more DSLAM infrastructure ahead of the NBN roll-out, but added that should wholesale ADSL be regulated, TPG would be able to offer more competitive services in those areas.
In its submission, Optus said that while telcos would invest in more DSLAMs where it is efficient, it is unlikely that there would be widespread DSLAM investment. This only increases the importance of regulating the wholesale ADSL market, Optus said.
"DSLAM investment costs are significant, and the impending NBN deployment reduces the expected return from a DSLAM investment since it reduces the time available to earn revenue and recoup the investment costs."
Law firm Herbert Geer, on behalf of iiNet, Internode, TransACT, Primus and Adam Internet, said that Telstra had used wholesale ADSL pricing to "attack" its facilities-based competitors, which were forced to wholesale in regional Australia.
"Telstra's wholesale-pricing structure, which attacks competitors that own infrastructure in metro and CBD-exchange service areas, has in regional and rural markets resulted in Telstra's infrastructure-based competitors either providing retail ADSL services over Telstra's WDSL network at a loss, or having retail rates higher than Telstra Retail, and in effect itself pricing themselves out of the market."
In arguing against regulation for wholesale ADSL, Telstra argued that it would have a profound impact on facilities-based competition, because telcos wouldn't install more DSLAMs.
"The broadband market is already highly competitive. There is substantial facilities-based competition, particularly in CBD and metropolitan areas," Telstra said in its submission. "Declaration of the wholesale ADSL service would only serve to limit the incentives for access seekers to invest in DSLAMs and other alternative infrastructure."
The company also strongly rejected suggestions that it is anti-competitive in wholesale DSL pricing.
"[C]ustomers negotiate wholesale ADSL prices with Telstra in the context of a competitive market, and the relative efficiency of the wholesale customer pursuing alternative-supply opportunities. This is a competitive market at work. It is both commercially rational and economically efficient."
AAPT welcomed the possibility of wholesale ADSL regulation, but said that it should only apply to Telstra, as all of the competition concerns are related to Telstra as a vertically integrated network company.
Submissions to the inquiry closed on 19 January. | {

Nat King Cole (Actors' Summit)
Audience likes Nat King Cole tribute at Actors' Summit
What do the songs "Pretend," "Route 66," "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire," "Rambling Rose," "It's Only a Paper Moon," "Nature Boy," "Mona Lisa" and "Too Young" all have in common? They are all hit songs recorded by Nathaniel Adams Cole, better known as Nat King Cole whose life is showcased in Actors' Studio's 'NAT "KING" COLE' by Kent LeMar & A. Neil Thackberry. Most think of Cole as a singer, but he was actually trained to be a classical pianist and never considered himself to be a singer, but as a jazz musician.
In 1943, Cole recorded "Straighten Up and Fly Right," which was based on one of his preacher father's sermons. It became a smash hit and changed his musical life.
Cole had many firsts. He was the first black jazz musician to have his own weekly radio show and the first black to have a weekly network television show.
A heavy smoker, he died of lung cancer in 1965, but his music lives on.
Based on audience reactions, and the need to extend the show several times due to positive reviews and comments, 'NAT "KING" COLE' is a hit. It is indeed a very pleasant evening of musical reminiscences for those brought up during the 50s and 60s.
Do not go, however, expecting to see or hear Cole. What LeMar does is give a Cole impression, not a recreation. Though he has a nice voice, LeMar isn't a Cole duplicate. We've seen duplicates on the Actors' Summit stage. In past seasons Thackaberry transformed himself into Clarence Darrow and Wayne Turney morphed into Harry Truman.
LeMar feigns Cole facial expressions, attempts to articulate the Cole speaking sound and give the deep jazz based sounds of the great singer. He is inconsistent in those attempts. Cole prided himself on his diction. He held his consonants and breathed life into his words. LeMar, though he tries, just doesn't give us the sound that allows us to close our eyes and hear Cole. His most Cole-esque interpretations were: "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square, " "Sweet Embraceable You," "Christmas Song" and "When I Fall In Love."
The script, though it does fill us with details of Cole's life, isn't well structured. Many of the songs are dropped in, they don't help develop the story as in a well integrated reviews. "Let There Be Love," "Too Young," "When I Fall in Love," "Wild Root Cream Oil" and "Smile" fit in. Most of the other songs don't. The script is being rewritten and it can only be hoped that more effort will be made to integrate the songs into the story.
Because Cole was noted for sitting at the piano and singing, the fact that pianist David Williams plays most of the music, is off-setting. Williams is wonderful , but if this is supposed to be the real Cole performing for us, then Williams' presence doesn't make sense. This aspect is confusing as LeMar is an excellent pianist.
CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: 'NAT "KING" COLE' is an audience pleaser. Due to its appeal, the show will be reprised on September 7 and run until the 24th on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees, with some rewriting, including the addition of more musicians to emulate The King Cole Trio
Pointe of Departure (Cain Park)
Is Pointe of Departure the answer to the area's ballet void?
With the apparent demise of Ohio Ballet, the Cleveland area is left without a major ballet company. Yes, there is Ohio Ballet Theatre, Denise Gula's Oberlin based group, but it mainly performs in Lorain County, though it is expanding into the Cuyahoga County area, and has only a small company of dancers.
A void exists. Can that void be filled by Pointe of Departure?
Pointe of Departure, which originated in 1998 as a collaboration between Lev Polyakin, Karen Gabay and Raymond Rodriguez, recently performed at Cain Park to a fair-sized house. The program notes state, "The future of the company is to expand the length of the season and to offer more performances throughout the year." It can only be hoped that this is true.
Gabay and Rodriguez are best known as the wunderkinds of the now-departed Cleveland-San Jose Ballet. For years, their local performances were met with critical and public adulation The duo still performs with the company which now makes San Jose its home. They are getting rather old to continue to dance full time, and their emotional fan base is in the Cleveland area, so it is an obvious place for the duo to put down their choreographic and teaching roots.
Making the company into a permanent resident company will take lots of money. With corporations abandoning the local area, some of the financial fund raising base is gone. However, if the county commissioners' proposed cigarette tax is enacted, and some local donors, who gave heavily to the previous professional company, can be convinced that this group will not lavishly over spend, like the previous artistic director did, then the purse strings may loosen.
Pointe of Departure, as it is presently constituted, is not a world class, nor even a high-level dance company. Since it performs only sporadically, the dancers have little time to meld together. This was obvious in their Cain Park performance, where uneven timing of corps movements was the general case. In addition, the professional dance level of the performers is also questionable. Yes, Gabay and Rodriguez were superb, especially in their pas-de-deux 'MOON REFLECTION OVER CRYSTAL SPRING,' which got a spontaneous and well-deserved screaming standing ovation, but there was weakness among the others.
The women, especially lovely and sprightly Jim Zhang, DeAnn Petrushke and Erena Ishii, were quite good; but the males were generally weak. Travis Walker, though rather stone-faced, was the most consistent of the gentlemen. He performed some fine jumps, did a good job of partnering and had an air of confidence. Jurijs Safanovs performed a competent Zorba-inspired segment, but was awkward in other roles. Peter Kozak seems comfortable with the contemporary moves, but was lacking in the classical segments. Maximo Califano was all affect, feigning hand movements and facial expressions and doing a great deal of posing, but was short on partnering skills and dance style.
Karen Gabay has good choreographic instincts. Her 'HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD,' though a little long, had many highlight segments. Rodriguez and Gabay's 'NAPOLI' staging was innovative.
With strong modern and contemporary companies, such as Verb Ballets, Groundworks and Inlet Dance that segment of the local dance scene seems well covered. It will be interesting to see what develops on the classical dance scene. Hopefully, Pointe of Departure, or some similar group, will come along and fill the void. It would be a shame that an area with such a strong arts reputation should be lacking in this performance area.

Paralympic Hopefuls Kick-Off Thursday Time Trials
by Sarah Marshall, [email protected] | Apr 21, 2016
With anticipation hanging in the air, time trials for the 2016 U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Team Trials began this morning at Nathan Benderson Park, as athletes from across the country made their way down the course in their first step toward making the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic teams here at trials.

SARASOTA, Fla. - With anticipation hanging in the air, time trials for the 2016 U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Team Trials began this morning at Nathan Benderson Park, as athletes from across the country made their way down the course in their first step toward making the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic teams here at trials.
Men's Arms and Shoulders Single Sculls
All advance to Sunday final
Blake Haxton (Columbus, Ohio) started off the morning posting a time of 4:38.67 over Robbie Blevins (Oklahoma City, Okla.), who crossed the finish line in a time of 5:09.73.
Haxton and Blevins will go head-to-head one more time this weekend, competing in the 1,000-meter final on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. for a spot on the 2016 Paralympic Team.
Women's Arms and Shoulders Single Sculls
After qualifying the boat at the 2015 World Rowing Championships, Treasure Boat Rowing Club, Inc.'s Jacqui Kapinowski (Tequesta, Fla.) moved one step closer to achieving her dream to compete at her final Paralympic Games, as she finished the time trial more than 15 seconds ahead of her competitor with a time of 5:17.34.
"We train so hard for this moment," said Kapinowski before her time trial. "If I make it, this would be my last Paralympics. It's a dream come true for anyone to be an Olympian or Paralympian."
Community Rowing, Inc.'s Katelynne Steinke (East Falmouth, Mass.) posted a time of 5:33.50. Both women advance to the final on Sunday at 9:15 a.m., for the chance to represent the U.S. in Rio de Janeiro.
Men's Single Sculls
14 move on the Friday heats, rest eliminated
In the most registered event of the trials, 21 athletes from around the country lined up to put their Olympic dreams on the line. First to take his chance was Potomac Boat Club's Greg Ansolabehere (Bakersfield, Calif.) who knew just how high the stakes were.
"Everybody knew what was on the line for this race," said Ansolabehere. "You have to lay down the most firm and competitive piece that you possibly can out there. That is what I knew I wanted to do and was thinking right before the start."
First down the course and first on the results list, Ansolabehere finished with a time of 6:40.00, two full seconds in front of Penn A.C. Rowing Association's Justin Keen (Philadelphia, Pa.).
Craftsbury Sculling Center's Thomas Graves (Cincinnati, Ohio) and two-time Olympian Ken Jurkowski (New Fairfield, Conn.) came in third and fourth, respectively.
Women's Single Sculls
All advance to heats
In one of the closest margins of the morning, Southern California Scullers Club's Stesha Carle (Longbeach, Calif.) narrowly beat Cambridge Boat Club's Gevvie Stone (Newton, Mass.) for the top nod with a time of 7:14.60 to 7:15.73.
Following close behind was Vesper Boat Club's Lindsay Meyer (Seattle, Wash.), a Beijing Olympian in the women's quad, who rounded out the top-three with a time of 7:23.01.
Men's Double Sculls
With six crews racing in the men's double sculls event, Craftsbury Sculling Center's Willy Cowles (Farmington, Conn.) and Stephen Whelpley (Mequon, Wis.) finished in 6:08.31. A little more than two seconds behind the Craftsbury crew, Vesper Boat Club's Leonard Futterman (New York, N.Y.) and Jonathan Kirkegaard (Philadelphia, Pa.) finished second with 6:10.66.
Women's Double Sculls
