en | N/A | N/A | In June 2014 some friends invited me to photograph a Branding near Nanton, Alberta. I was like a kid in a Candy Store. I drove to Nanton, my friend picked me up – twenty minutes on a paved road, the same on a dirt road. From the ranch house it took us about another 30-45 minutes on a mud track in the pick-up truck to arrive where they were doing the branding. It was stepping back in time. Almost everything was being done as it has been for a couple of hundred years. And everyone was so calm. The weather was perfect. Overcast. I was able to get wonderful saturated colours. Sorry if some of the over processing offends anyone. These are some of the few hundred that I took that day. |
en | N/A | N/A | *There are learn-able skills, and not rocket science. With effort and determination, you can do these.
*Many couples who have found themselves struggling have learned how to put the spice and love back in their relationship by consciously working on doing so.
*This is a watershed in a relationship, when relating becomes a conscious and planned activity, rather than a random hit and miss affair.
1. Express your love often and clearly. Some couples feel loved with “I love you,” others prefer it said with a visual symphony of flowers. Still others feel loved when something is done for them, such as a meal being prepared, a chore being done, presents being bought, a rose being left on the pillow. Some know they are loved with a soft, cuddly hug. Whatever language of love your spouse is most responsive to, use it often. Firstly, of course, you have to find out what makes them feel loved. Don't assume that what works for you also works best for them.
2. Be physically affectionate often. For most people, some form of affectionate physical touching works wonders. This may be sexual, or it may be sensual. Kissing, hand-holding, caressing, and hugs enhance most relationships. Such acts amount to putting money in the emotional bank with account name 'Our Relationship.'
3. Lighten your partner's load occasionally, especially when they are least expecting it. Doing little tasks that make your partners day is a way of saying that you notice what they do and appreciate it, to the point that you know by doing the task yourself you are making their load a little lighter.
4. Support the other, especially in times of acute need. We all have needs, and at times these are extreme, such as when we are unwell, distressed, under pressure, anxious or feeling down. Emotional and practical support when we are struggling communicates caring, valuing and loving.
5. Take the time to say what you love, admire, respect, and value in the other. A mutual admiration society goes a long way. It is quick to do, and may be precipitated by noticing something which could easily go unsaid. Expressing appreciation is like putting money in the self-esteem bank. We all like to be appreciated, and it signals that we are viewed by our partner in way which supports openness, creativity, spontaneity and being our genuine self.
6. Make quality time for each other. Quality time and quality talk cement and build a relationship. It can be very challenging to meet this essential relationship need, when there are so many demands on your time, especially if you have to find quality time with the children as well. It is during this quality time that many of the other tips described here can be put into action.
7. Prioritize your relationship. The investment in a relationship socially, emotionally, financially and psychologically is huge. Similarly, the cost in stress of a divorce is huge. By giving time, love, attention, affection, understanding, patience, tolerance and needs meeting to your spouse, you are putting your partner first. If you were on your death bed, who would you want to spend your last hour with – the boss, your workmate, your neighbour – or your partner?
8. Talk with your partner about yourself. This could be about your day, your hopes, dreams or fears. Talking about your struggles and your joys is a way to share what matters in your life. This is important not because they are amazing and spectacular, but because they are about you. And you are unique, and mean the world to your partner. For people who are naturally quiet and reserved, it may take some practice to get used to talking about yourself, but is essential in building a bond within the relationship.
9. Treat your spouse to a courting memory. When you were courting, you did all sorts of things for and with each other. Repeat some of these as surprises, showing that your partner's enjoyment has meaning and significance for you. Choose the treats that are OK for you to do, and rate highly for your mate.
10. Expect your partner to be who they are. Give up expecting your spouse to be other than s/he is. You are each different, and you didn't get together so that each could become a clone of the other. Love and accept your partner unconditionally for who s/he is. This does not extend to physical, psychological or verbal abuse of course, but annoying idiosyncrasies are an inevitable part of any relationship. Accept, tolerate and enjoy the differences between you, and recognize that many others have the ability to enjoy your partner just as s/he is.
11. Treat your partner as you would want them to treat you - always. Respect, valuing, kindness, caring, accepting, patience, tolerance and love cost no money, but often considerable time, emotional management, and prioritizing. This can be challenging, and for many couples is often too much so. However, the person you love is worth the time and effort you put into relating in such a way that they feel especially valued and loved by you. Your relationship will profit if you give at least as much as you get, and expect to keep giving.
12. Be aware that needs meeting is just as important as loving. People usually 'fall' out of love because they have been unable to meet essential needs in the relationship. Some needs, such as safety, respect, appreciation, loyalty, affection and basic life needs such as relaxation, time out, and time with a range of others should be obvious. However, in addition we all have physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual needs, and these show up in different ways depending on your personality type. Supporting your partner to meet their needs, and sometimes meeting those needs for them, is essential in any successful relationship.
13. Express love through your partners love language. By expressing your love to your spouse using his/her love language, rather than yours, you not only demonstrate love but the desire to connect with your partner in ways meaningful to him/her - the ultimate offer of love and thoughtfulness. Love can be expressed a) verbally/auditorally with comments of love and appreciation, b) through the giving of gifts, c) by acts of thoughtfulness and kindess, d) through touch and phyisical connection of some kind, e) by giving something special that will stimulate the sense of smell, f) or by offering something that will stimulate visual appreciation. More about gifts of love can be found at Languages of Love and Connection
14. Support your partner to be themselves This is the ultimate, because each of us wants to be ourselves and accepted as such. This means giving up the battle of egos to fully hear, appreciate, understand and support your partner. There can be no greater act of love than to be inconvenienced in support of empowering your partner to be the person they want to be. This requires listening and compassionate patience all round, because BOTH partners need to be themselves, not just one. |

en | N/A | N/A | I made this map for my wife for Christmas. She loves Mt. Rainier. I really like maps that extend into the collar. It makes it more interesting. I used an HDRI that has two light directions for this map, and I really like how it turned out. I also let the shadow run to the edge of the layout instead of cutting it off at the edge of the map collar. It’s a little extra work, but I think it looks a lot better, especially if the map isn’t matted and framed. |
en | N/A | N/A | I knew that buying an induction cooktop would mean I would have to change my cookware. So, I spent a lot of time researching for pots and pans that would not only suit my needs, but also be a truly efficient cookware. It was during my research that I came across BergHOFF Premium Cookware. Like most people, I was mildly skeptical at first. Their products promised a lot, and I did not want to end up being disappointed in my purchase. I read the reviews on Amazon (3 stars and 5 star reviews), and needless to say, I changed my mind and decided to give the BergHOFF Cookware a chance.
According to the manufacturer, BergHOFF cookware is made of ceramic non-stick coating, stainless steel handles and lids. Their products are also microwave and dishwasher safe. After the cookware was delivered, I read and re-read the care manuals carefully and made a mental note of it. After all, household items need care for them to last. After following the cleaning instructions prior to using the cookware, I decided to cook an egg, just to see if it really did not need oil and if it did not stick or anything. I sure was glad it was well cooked and didn't stick to the pan at all. The egg came right off the pan, and I felt like a total expert after that.
One, its earth friendly, and is toxic free (the manufacturer said it is PFOA and PFTE free).
Two, it's easy to clean.
It's durable, and is really worth your money.
It's also good if you are into energy efficiency and want a cookware that heats fast (I know, waiting for food to heat at the right time can really test our patience). All BergHoff products also offer a limited lifetime warranty. It's truly a great investment for moms (and chefs) who want cookware sets that lasts for a long period of time. |

Thus ERG theory states that an employee’s behaviour is motivated simultaneously by more than one need level. For example, satisfying your growth needs by completing a project on time even though your relatedness needs aren’t especially satisfied.
ERG theory applies the satisfaction-progression process described in Maslow's famous "Hierarchy of Needs" theory, so one need level will dominate a person’s motivation more than others.

en | N/A | N/A | character’s arc. Beginning as a hesitant, insecure young man, Kaufmann clearly conveys the blossoming of the knight’s emotional intelligence and compassion, changing his vocal quality and body language from the point of awakening onwards. In a delightful sequence in act two, Kaufmann, as Parsifal, playful interacts with a stunning bevy of local artists playing seductive Flower Maidens. Dressed in a veritable rainbow of sheer silken gowns, Stacey Alleaume, Jane Ede, Anna Dowsley, Eva Kong, Julie Lea Goodwin and Dominica Matthews look divine and sound even better.
A standout amongst the lead cast is Korean bass Kwangchul Youn as elder knight Gurnemanz. Youn sings the first vocal notes in the opera, and the standard is immediately set at the highest level. A singer of great authority and presence, Youn drives much of the action with energetic verve, and is a wonderful scene partner for Kaufmann in the dramatic final act. Youn’s performance is enhanced by his familiarity with the material; he rarely needs to glance at his score.
Highly experienced American soprano Michelle DeYoung clearly displays the vocal range and steely intensity that underpin her Wagnerian background. Playing the wandering soul, and lone lead female character, Kundry, DeYoung has a striking stage presence, but undertakes little interaction with her castmates.
Rising talent Anna Dowsley shines in a number of cameo roles, delivering sweetly pristine vocals.
The chance to see Kaufmann in a full operatic role was a step up from the solo concert experience. Hopefully, his next visit will bring a lead role in a fully staged opera. In the meantime, the stellar contributions of a wide range of artists made Parsifal a highly memorable event.
Thank you Mr. Parrish for this wonderful review, so detailed I felt I was in the theatre.
I am a New York based Kaufmann fan and felt a wee bit jealous that Australia was hearing his sublime Parsifal.
The Met Opera decided they didn’t need this great artist for the 2017-18 season, so this review of one of his live performances was much appreciated.
I wish the company and the artists much and continued success!
I had a wonderful weekend travelling up to Sydney for Parsifal. The standard of the whole event was superb and there was such a buzz in the audience.
I find it extraordinary that The Met Opera has not engaged Mr Kaufmann for the 17-18 season. Hopefully you have many more world class singers on their way to New York to sing in the upcoming season.
If ever you have a chance to visit Australia, be sure to take the chance to see Opera Australia in action at the Sydney Opera House. The venue is as spectacular as the operas on its stages! </s> 2438 records – page 1 of 244.

[Weight gain in the Christmas season?].
Ideals versus reality: Are weight ideals associated with weight change in the population?
This study comprised 4,964 adults from the prospective population-based FinnTwin16 study. They reported their actual and ideal body weight at age 24 (range 22-27) and 10 years later (attrition 24.6%). The correlates of discrepancy between actual and ideal body weight and the impact on subsequent BMI change were examined.
The discrepancy between actual and ideal weight at 24 years was on average 3.9 kg (1.4 kg/m(2) ) among women and 1.2 kg (0.4 kg/m(2) ) among men. On average, participants gained weight during follow-up irrespective of baseline ideal weight: women ¯x?=?+4.8 kg (1.7 kg/m(2) , 95% CI 1.6-1.9 kg/m(2) ), men ¯x?=?+6.3 kg (2.0 kg/m(2) , 95% CI 1.8-2.1 kg/m(2) ). Weight ideals at 24 years were not correlated with 10-year weight change. At 34 years, just 13.2% of women and 18.9% of men were at or below the weight they had specified as their ideal weight at 24 years. Women and men adjusted their ideal weight upward over time.
Irrespective of ideal weight at baseline, weight gain was nearly universal. Weight ideals were shifted upward over time.

The prevalence ofaimed to find the prevalence of obesity, to compare body condition score (BCS) and to correlate the BCS to body weight (BW) and morphometric measures in a group of mature Icelandic horses in Denmark. A total of 254 Icelandic horses (=4 years; 140 geldings, 105 mares, 9 stallions) from 46 different farms were included. All horses were assigned a BCS on a scale from 1 to 9 (1 is poor, 5 is moderate and 9 is extremely fat) by their owner and by an experienced person. Two weight tapes were used to assess BW. Girth circumference (GC), neck circumference (NC) and height at withers (HW) were measured, and the GC:HW and NC:HW ratios were calculated. |
en | N/A | N/A | Rocket, with its distinctive aroma and crisp peppery taste, is an essential to any truly good salad. Admiration for the jagged rocket leafs dates back to at least ancient Greece, where it was As we found out, this versatile plant is also loved by the very small, highly mimetic and insatiable caterpillars of the Pieris rapae species. This love is so great, that over just two days our pot once brimming with lush green leaves tuned into a bare and miserable landscape of stumps and half eaten blades. By the time we realised what was causing the sudden disappearance of our much loved rocket, about twenty green and friendly looking caterpillars had made it its breakfast, lunch and dinner and were scrambling around the pot like they owned the place. Now, the problem is that whilst we both love butterflies, we are also very fond of rocket, so we found our two species competing for the same space and natural resources. After a brief moment of confusion, we happy would be to release the caterpillars out in the wild, somewhere that would not compromise our lunch. So we collected them up and placed them in a couple of food containers to take out into a park and release on a suitable food plant.
From this moment, the magic is hidden to our eyes. We see nothing and hear nothing, but are only left to imagine what could be happening in that very secret space where one animal turns into a different one, For as long as humans have been able to observe and interrogate nature, the mystery of the butterfly transformation has been one where science and imagination met in the middle. It is only in recent years, thanks to high resolution 3D scans, that we are able to visualise this process into its finer details. Have a look at this video from research conducted at Manchester University, which makes this invisible transformation visible. For our "small white" the process lasted just four nights, during which a vast number of cells from the caterpillar's body were broken down into their constituent proteins by the release of enzymes. Whilst some of the caterpillar organs stay intact or are just partially altered (such as the trachea), the rest disassemble completely, providing the building blocks and energy to fuel the production of new cells. This primordial soup is rearranged according to previously dormant genes, so called "imaginal discs" which awaken during the pupal stage and contain all the instructions needed for the cells to go and form those colourful wings, slender legs, big round eyes, long proboscis and sex organs found in a butterfly. Is this the birth of a whole new creature?
You might not be the only one thinking so. This idea is as controversial as it sounds and it made many developmental biologists scream and run around their labs in utter despaircounter arguments, we recommend you read this article on American Scientist or listen to the "Goo and You" episode of Radiolab, which presents both sides of the story in a compelling way. Furthermore, we couldn't encourage you more to go and yourself grab a copy of Bernd Heinrich's "Life Everlasting", a beautifully written science book which examines this concept in great detail and spellbinding poetry.
Complete metamorphosis is a risky and complex business, many don't quite make it to the other side. A couple of caterpillars didn't attach properly to the surface, one fell and died, one didn't even make it to chrysalis stage and of the ones that emerged, one was missing the proboscis, another didn't develop one of its forewings fully. As tragic as this sounds, it is actually fairly normal that many don't make it to the adult, reproductive stage. Furthermore, when you consider that we started off with just under twenty caterpillars, the success rate is still quite high and enough to trouble any herb and vegetable grower.

en | N/A | N/A | In the world of software development, there are three main areas of focus:When an internet user visits a website, they will see a homepage with texts, hyperlinks, and images that will determine their next destination on that website.
Unbeknownst to most of these users, a lot of work has been done to make the website run smoothly on every modern device used to access the website. This work is much more than replacing links with colorful text and attractive images.
All websites, web and mobile applications need rigorous testing during all stages of their development. This is done to ensure content is displayed correctly and the website or application being built is compatible with all modern devicens.
For example, in 2021, Meta launched a beta test for multi-device support on WhatsApp for iOS before releasing it to the public. Testing is challenging for developers because devices come with different specifications. To tackle this, developers use virtual devices because they facilitate high-end prototyping and unit testing via a simulator or an emulator.
1 What Is a Virtual Device?
This software replicates the features and abilities of an existing device or operating system. Developers use it to test software they are building to observe their functionality and compatibility.
If they discover bugs during a test, they can implement fixes and check their efficacy in real-time.
iOSon the planet. In 2021, there were an estimated 900 million active iPhones worldwide, which is a large market for software developers.
Many iOS applications are being built yearly, so there is a constant demand forVirtual iOS devices, built to scale, and companies like Corellium satisfy that demand. They provide both regular and jailbroken devices for developers to meet their needs.
There are two main types of these virtual iOS devices: Simulators and Emulators. Simulators are programs that mimic the behavior of a real-world system, device or process.
On the other hand, emulators are software that exactly replicates the functionality of another software program. Virtual iOS devices are usually built to scale, so the results obtained during testing will be the same as when using the device in a real-world setting.
Traditionally, software development companies spend a lot of money on physical servers to host mobile and web applications. Now, they spend less on hardware to run virtual devices that can test their iOS applications.
When companies use physical servers, there would be downtime during maintenance exercises. This does not happen when using virtual devices.
With the lack of servers, software development will use less power and will create a smaller carbon footprint.
With virtual devices, developers can work remotely from any location, which lets them spend more time on their projects.
Applications and websites are constantly being created for iOS 15-supported devices and others as the internet drives many activities today.
Thus, software development needs greater efficiency and sustainability. Virtual iOS devices are a platform for developers to ensure whatever they create for Apple devices is built to scale and work as intended.
Fortunately, these devices cost less to build and run compared to physical servers. |

The most light version of such principle would simply be to ask the client to wait (sleep) 5 seconds before resubmitting the same request (with a unique identifier stored in a cookie, as described on Cloudflare page). This would force the DDOS client to somehow handle a queue of pending redirections, and would finally make the overall DDOS process less effective.

en | N/A | N/A | Hotdesking experiment week 1
This was week 1 of our 8-week hotdesking/mobility experiment. Hotdesking at its most anarchic means that people do not have an assigned desk but take any desk or workspace that is available. Often there are fewer hot-desks than people based in that workplace. 1:2 is an often quoted ratio. This allows for vacation, sickness, people out on client sites or whatever. It also means a reduction in corporate real estate costs as the amount of space needed to house people can be reduced. Hotdesking is variously defined, but for our purposes it means:
a) People participating (12/300) clear their assigned desks of all their stuff
b) A notice is put on the desk saying 'This is a hotdesk' and each of the 12 desks is numbered and a floor map showing the location of each of the numbered desks is given to the participants.
c) Cards numbered 1 – 12 are put in a hat on the reception desk.
d) Participants 'Simply go to the front desk and pick a number out of the hat; that will be your hot desk for the day. Return the number at the end of the day. Repeat the following day.'
We didn't go into this cold-turkey. We had several meetings working out how we would do this and what we would need, beyond the volunteers, to make it effective. It's involved the IT team, the Office Services Team, the Telecomms Team, and the Finance Team. But now all desks are equipped with a standard set of kit, two boxes to store stuff have been allocated per person and storage space has been provided, all participants have a softphone on their laptops, and we know what code we can charge our desk-clearing and weekly check-in meetings to.
Another was coming in over the weekend to clear as she has 'stuff spread out over several locations'. In case people didn't know on what 'clear your desk means' I sent out a tip sheet on this. (See July's tool of the month). In previous desk clearing events I've been involved with I've suggested people look at the very funny George Carlin piece on Stuff. There's a much more sobering piece on stuff – related to sustainability and the cradle to cradle concept via The Story of Stuff Project.
We're not the only ones experimenting with hotdesking: KPMG is one and we're fully aware that it's not all going to be roses for all the well documented reasons. But our purpose is to:
Push the boundaries of our rather traditional workplace
Gather information that we can talk with our clients about
We want to know whether this form of working augments interactions, facilitates connections, and gives us usable insights or leads to innovative products/services.
So week 1 has not been about hotdesking but preparing to hotdesk. Each participant has to clear his/her desk putting all their stuff into two moving crates – in our case medium Fedex boxes – as if they were moving offices. (The two crate equivalent is the standard allowance, in my experience, for people moving from assigned seating to mobile working in new space). The things which don't fit into the two crates have to be taken home or disposed of.
Over the preparation week various questions arose:
Personalization of space: Some people want to be able to personalize their space with a photo or something, even for a day. Others want to toss everything in a backpack and be totally free of anything stored and be nomadic. (See my blog on office as backpack).
Is this preference or job content or both? In one office the personalization thing was addressed by each person having a small wall mounted Acrylic display shelf in the coffee area and putting the personal item(s) on display in that. It was a kind of office photo wall without the photos.
The desks and equipment: some of the 12 desks are standing and some are seated. We agreed that we would take whatever desk we got from the hat and try it out. Some people may need two monitors or other special equipment. In fact, it was on the desk/equipment question that two people decided to drop out (originally we had 15 volunteers). The first dropped out because he has specialized equipment which would take too long to set up each day. (He sent a photo of the spaghetti of cabling he would have to contend with). The second because she is working with large trays of physical samples and it would be too difficult to keep moving them.
It's good to be experimenting too few workplaces actively encourage it. What have you been able to experiment with in your office? Let me know.

Of course I could just eat the berries right then and there, but I really wanted to bake something special with them. Luckily, we were going to a friend's house in a few days for dinner so I asked if I could bring dessert.berries, leaving them as untouched as possible. I didn't want to bury them under a crumble or pie crust. Into my head popped the cover of a Cuisine at Home magazine from a few years ago - a beautiful summer tart. I found the issue and read over the recipe - not too difficult, though not really something you can make the night before. Since I had to work, Joe pretty much made the whole thing during the day. When I got home I got to put the berries on top and dab them with glaze, which, in my opinion, was the best part. That, and seeing our friend's reactions to it when we brought it to their house later that evening.ng! It's also delicious; the honey and lemon really compliment the berries.

en | N/A | N/A | Andrew Hill: God is everywhere assumed but nowhere mentioned in genealogies. The Chronicler also takes it for granted that his audience knows well names logged in the genealogies. This fact is important to understanding the rest of the Chronicles as well. The highly selective retelling of Israel’s history presupposes the Chronicler’s audience knows their Hebrew Bible. . .
More important are the theological threads unifying this opening genealogy.
(1) The nations are introduced in such a way that all peoples are placed inside rather than outside the purposes of God’s electing love.
(2) The nation of Israel lies at the center of the genealogical scheme. Thus, the Israel of the Chronicler’s day is united with the earlier Israel and with the nations.
Iain Duguid: The Chronicler reminds Jews after the exile that they share a common humanity, created and known in its diversity by God. They are descendants of Abraham and Israel, but their ongoing story is part of a bigger picture of God’s purpose for all peoples. . .
In short, this chapter brings together both a universal perspective of all humanity with its diversity and also a particularity as the line focuses, first to Seth and on to Abraham, then to Isaac and (in 1 Chron. 2:1) to Israel. From that point forward, the book’s focus will be on the Lord’s covenant people.
J. A. Thompson: This section may be regarded as a preamble to the main genealogy in 2:3–9:1. In 1:1–2:2 the name “Israel” does not appear. The nation yet to come into being was hidden within the general body of humankind. Meanwhile the genealogies of chaps. 1–9 pursue their way, giving a panorama of the human background out of which the people of Israel emerged. The nation yet to be born emerged in due course from the Semites, one of the three great families of humankind: the Japhethites, the Hamites, and the Semites.
The Chronicler established Israel’s place in the world through the lengthy genealogies of chaps. 1–9 so that his audience might understand anew their role among the nations. Their mission was universal in nature, enabling all peoples to know the Lord through God’s appointed means, the Jerusalem temple. It was temple more so than kingship that indicated the presence of God’s rule on earth. As long as there was the temple, Israel had its peculiar role among the nations.
The genealogies provided for the reconstituted Israel a sense of God’s universal and ongoing work in the world. This continuity of design fueled Israel’s ambition to be the holy vessel that God had envisioned for it (Exod 19). This same sense of continuity with God’s work through the ages motivated the apostles to found the church in the shadow of Israel’s religious tradition. But more importantly, it was the universal setting that explained the drive to bring the gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 13). God’s people whether in past generations or in the present have this same commission to reach beyond themselves with the gospel to all the peoples of God’s created world (Rom 1:16–17). . .
We may ask why this book burdens the reader with seemingly endless genealogies. Perhaps the best answer is provided by M. Wilcock, who observes that the generations after the exile needed a sense of history and legitimacy. In other words, they needed roots. Using the analogy of a tree, Wilcock observes that the genealogies reach from the very deepest root— Adam—to the very topmost branches of the tree—people who were living in the Chronicler’s lifetime. With these roots God’s people knew who they were and how they were to live. They may have felt like the most insignificant of peoples (a small, backwater country in the great Persian Empire), but the genealogies served to remind them that they were not only a people with a rich history but that their history was God’s history.
Frederick Mabie: Thus, while the Chronicler’s genealogical survey reviews the past, it also works to produce hope in God at the present because of the covenantal possibilities for the future. Similarly, the image of continuity between the past and present facilitates hope that God is still at work through his people. This message of continuity is part of the Chronicler’s message of hope and call to covenantal obedience for his postexilic audience. While the history of Judah is clearly punctuated with sin and unfaithfulness, it is nonetheless permeated by divine grace and faithfulness. Indeed, the Chronicler’s genealogical survey echoes the words of Jeremiah that God’s mercies are new each morning and that his faithfulness is great.

“19 AnJ.A. Thompson: The shorter name Abram (abram) is of uncertain meaning, though probably it means “the father is exalted.” The name rarely was used in the Old Testament. The name Abraham (abrāhām) probably means “father of a multitude,” and from the late perspective of the Chronicler in this genealogical context it testified to the verity of God’s promises and to his faithfulness.

August Konkel: No genealogical link from Esau to Seir is provided in Genesis or Chronicles. An etymological link is made at the birth of Esau (Gen 25:25); the firstborn of Rebekah was both red (Edom) and hairy (Seir). The geographical location of Seir is uncertain. Edom is generally east of the southern Arabah (the rift valley through the Jordan and the Dead Sea and extending southward); a traditional site for Mount Seir is located there (Jebel esh-Sheraʾ), southeast of the Dead Sea. Seir often appears as a synonym for Edom (Gen 32:3; Num 24:18). Seir was the home of the Horites until they were displaced by the Edomites (Deut 2:12; cf. Gen 36:20). The designation of Seir probably changed over time.

Frederick Mabie: The account of the two sons of Isaac spills into ch. 2 and ends with the listing of the actual twelve sons of Jacob/Israel (1 Ch 2:1–2). These sons will constitute both the geographical organization of the future nation that will likewise be named “Israel” (the tribal territories). As such, 1 Chronicles 2:1–2 serves as both a conclusion to ch. 1 and an introduction to chs. 2 and following (cf. Japhet, 65; Selman, 95). |

en | N/A | N/A | “So I’m really taking it day-by-day like everyone else, reminding myself how serious this [coronavirus] is, what we have going, knowing that takes priority over a season of sports or how much we must feel that there’s a missing piece to our country, which is sports.”
“Those are all things that will be on the table,” said Georgia AD Greg McGarity, now in his 10th year in that position after an 18-year stint in Florida’s athletic administration. “The SEC tournament was going to be played with a limited number of people in the arena. Could that model work in a college football environment?Perhaps. I think everything is on the table if we enter that space in the fall.”
Yikes, that’s a frightening thought. Then again, who foresaw these across-the-board postponements and all sports coming to a complete halt three weeks ago?
“I think that’s real unlikely,” Stricklin said about playing football without the usual environment of tailgating and large crowds. “My sense is social distancing measures are going to have to go back to normal before we play football.”
If that’s the case for the NFL, college and high schools, then what happens if August rolls around and COVID-19 hasn’t been properly controlled?
“Our locker rooms are already jammed up, just the numbers we carry and the proximity to each other,” said Ramsay. “We have over 100 guys in the fieldhouse. You’re always concerned with staff infections, and this [coronavirus] is much worse. We’ll see what happens.”
Here’s how Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard described that potential scenario to The Athletic: “If we can’t play football this fall, I mean it’s Ice Age time. Bow they would get through not playing any football games.”
“The NFL and college football have to be consistent,” McGarity said. “It’d be awkward to have one do one thing [when they play games] and the other something else.”,” Herbstreit said on ESPN radio. “I“I hope we have a day this fall where we can all get together and there’s no social distancing. When we do play football again, it’s just going to be utterly glorious.”

en | N/A | N/A | The Orioles announced a number of roster moves on Friday, most notably the appointment of a veteran outfielder Brett Phillips for the assignment and selection of the contract of the prospective outfielder Kyle Stowers. Baltimore also remembered infielders Richie Martin and left Nick Vespi byional right-hander Logan Gillaspie to Norfolk.
Phillips, 28, was taken over by the Rays for cash on the morning of August 2, just hours before the close of trading. He was recently drafted by Tampa Bay following the Rays takeover Jose Siri. Phillips received just 17 plate appearances in his nearly three weeks with Baltimore, going 2-for-17 with two doubles, no walks and nine strikeouts (.118/.118/.235).
Despite the fact that Phillips is batting a dismal .147/.217/.249 on 225 plate out (which the only course). Actions you need to take now that the order has been determined and the dealing deadline has expired). Phillips is considered one of the best gloves in the game – a carefree plus-speed defender who can confidently handle any of the three outfield slots, as evidenced by career grades of 39 saved defensive runs, an Ultimate Zone Rating of 25.3 and 31 Outs Above Average ( in juoffered a ton of value with the racquet, but he’s been significantly better in recent seasons than his 2022 numbers suggest. Beginnattempts) in 675 plate appearances. Of course, that’s still well below the league average, but coupled with his top-notch outfield defense, that mix-player.
Given the speed, defense and power, Phillips seems attractive on the waiver wire for teams that need outfield – especially with rosters that will soon expand from 26 to 28 players in September. Phillips is an ideal late-inning option for a postseason club because he’s an upgrade over at least one outfielder on every major team and poses a threat for a stolen base or maybe a pinch hit against a right arm in the right scenario.
Stowers, 24, was selected with the 71st overall pick in the 2019 draft. Since then, he has been praised by potential reviewers, mostly for h Baltimore’s top 30 prospects for each of the last three years. This year he has played 95 games in Triple-A, hit 19 homers and hit .264/.357/.527. That performance amounts to a wRC+ of 131, indicating he was 31% better on plate than the league average hitter. He also brought his strikeout rate down to 25.6% for the season, which is still above average but a significant improvement from last year’s 32.3% rate.
Stowers has already made his MLB debut, completing a brief two-game stint in Toronto earlier this year when some of his teammates were unable to make the trip due to their unvaccinated status. Because he was designated a COVID “surrogate” for that series, the O’s were able to delist him without subjecting him to waivers. He’s now earned a roster spot in a more traditional way and expects to get a more inclusive look this time around.
Stowers has made 44 appearances at midfield this year, along with 38 at right and 13 atalthough Santander has since been given plenty of time as a designated batsman Trey Mancini act.
The Orioles brokeound in the American League’s postseason picture, currently just 2 1/2 games behind. try and help them in that race and secure a place in the future squad for a club whose future looks increasingly bright. |

Take a look at the slide show to learn a little bit more about me. </s> In August of 2013, author Hilary Levey Friedman published her new book entitledIn her book and subsequent article in the November issue of The Atlantic, Ms. Friedman contends that parents send their children to competitive afterschool programs to gain advantages that they can utilize when they enter the workforce. In interviewing middle-class and affluent parents, she learned that there are five skills that parents hope their kids will acquire, which she calls "Competitive Kid Capital".
Q: Can you comment on the differences between free and "pay-to-play" afterschool programs?
I felt truly honored when I was notified by the National AfterSchool Association that I wafterschool.
In looking at the full list, I was pleased that several of my long-time colleagues were also listed. It is important to note that the leaders of today's afterschool movement stand on the shoulders of many brave pioneers such as Michelle Cahill, Jane Quinn, Richard Murphy, and others.

en | N/A | N/A | Jeremy Charbonneau (b. 1976) is a Seattle-area musician, designer and illustrator whose humor and sensitivity infuse his music and visual art. His warm and comfy work explores the relationships in his life in all their forms. His current project is Summer Sleeves, a self-described "Dad Rock" band that he formed with fathers of children who go to the same school as his.
Answer: I'd say my time playing in Smile Brigade with my mate, Jesse Boggs was a formative time for me. I learned a ton about songwriting from him. We learned a lot together. Throughout our 20s we'd digest music like archaeologists discover civilizations. Just pick them apart, in a discovery sense. We'd work out how to use our own strengths to our advantage by listening to production and writing of bands from the 60s. Things like how to play as a four-piece band with three vocalists and not be redundant with our parts. It was an exciting time for us both. I wish I could unlearn it all and go back to rediscovering. Though I'm doing similar discoveries with what I'm doing now, and it's just as exciting.
Q: You are a graphic designer, illustrator, musician, singer, songwriter. Does your visual work connect with your music? How?
A: Music and visual design/art have always been hand-in-hand for me. I think the discipline of creating both are very much the same. Interestingly, music got me into design through designing posters and album covers – eventually web design – doing all this for my bands over the years. A few years ago I'd decided to hang up music for a while. This was after ~20 years of drumming three nights a week, rehearsals, touring and recording. I was just done. When this happened,get on to adulting with a "real" job. In school, I learned a lot about intentional creative process and collaboration. That carried over when I started playing music again – especially playing with other people. I learned a lot of how to look at the big picture. How to focus on the minutiae and the parts that work together as well as taking individual songs as though they were all concepts and pushing them apart so they don't all sound the same.
Q: Are there specific pros or cons of being a multidisciplinary artist? How do you present yourself when you explore so many different media?
A: I wish I could clone myself so I could take care of all the ideas buzzing around in my head. Or at least add two more arms. That's the only con. Not enough me or arms. This is a little tough for me, but I consider myself a songwriter over anything else, when it comes to vocation. But it's complicated. Music is what I've been doing for years on end. Designing is what's paying the bills. Yet – they're nearly equal when it comes to my passions. I'm a songwriter. Some of those songs are visual.
Q: What influences and inspires you?
A: The people around me – family, coworkers, bandmates. Whether it's the work they're doing, the relationship we have together or the conversations we have. Just as much as the music I listen to or the visuals I'm vising. They're all huge influences on me musically, visually or personally.
Q: What are you known for? Do you have a signature style or technique?
A: My laugh. That's what I'm known for. I'm working on being known.
Q: Talk about the name for your band Summer Sleeves. How did Summer Sleeves form?
A: The name "Summer Sleeves" came from high school. I lived in Houston in my junior and senior years. It was always so hot and muggy there, that I'd take showers up to three times a day: once in the morning, after school and before bed. Sometimes another in there somewhere. And despite it being so hot, I'd always have a sweater on, sometimes just a long sleeve shirt. It was a comfort thing. I wasn't that social a person, yet I had this group of people I'd be around at school that I just adored – mostly punks – like post-punk folks that were into art and music and some real classically nose-in-the-book nerds. I just adored them all. And we all had our own kind of signature style of dressing up. I'd be there hanging out in my long sleeves – even in the summer. I do also like the idea of tattoo sleeves out in the summer, but my high school security blanket is mostly where it comes from.
The band formed with me looking for people to hang out with. I was in need of something outside of work and family – a social outlet. I had all these songs I was working on and decided to use that as an excuse to trap people into being friends with me. I eventually got in touch with Alon who I knew because our kids go to school together and we played in this mostly Dad band when the kids were in preschool. There were a dozen of us in the band and we recorded an album of covers. It was a blast! He and I'd been playing for some time and we eventually got in touch with Brent, who plays drums. His kid also goes to the same school as mine and Alon's. It's kind of become a shtick that we're proudly from West Seattle, we're dads and our kids go to the same school. I've been reaching out through the parent groups with the school for a keyboard player. Mom, Dad or non-binary conforming parental unit. No responses yet. We'll see what happens. Until then, we three will be we, until we're not.
A: I'm always plunking around the house on my thrift-store guitar. I'm there a lot. I'm kind of a homebody and my time there with my family influences me tremendously. Writing lyrically about my relationship with my wife and daughter – a lot about my relationship with myself. I'd say 40% of my song ideas come while I'm washing dishes or showering. That's the place where I can zone out mentally and plunk up some melody that's got me moving my knees while I'm in the midst of cleaning up.
A: I'll usually get inspired by something I hear and it happens pretty organically. This one time I was chatting with my father-in-law and he said this line – it was a compliment and my mind just floated out the window of the car with this song idea with that line. It just floored me. I have no idea what he said to me after that line because I was already working on the next line and what the verse could be like. Most of the time I have a memo-recording app on my phone to get down snippets of ideas. That works great. I have real shit for memory and I'd never be able to store all these ideas in my head. Some of the snippets will turn into songs; most of them will just sit there until I go back to them some day. There are plenty patiently waiting till they make sense to me again, and I'll try to work something out in the future. Until then.…
A: Relationships are a big overarching theme. Not romantic so much as, "How does A relate to B and what's that energy that's going on between them?" This could be between myself and family, myself and myself, marginalized peoples and dicks who oppress them. Sometimes it's political, yet that's just as wrapped up in emotion as anything. I don't know about a statement, so much as documentation – but that's probably not even true.
Q: A lot of your Instagram pics show whiskey. Is drinking/partying one of your themes or an important part of your music?
A: This is funny. In all the bands I've been involved with up until Summer Sleeves, we never had alcohol or drugs around. Not while we practiced and not so much while we played out. There was never an agenda behind it, I just always played music with squares, I guess. I'd never even tried weed until I turned 40. By the time I started playing in Summer Sleeves, I'd developed a clumsy palette for whiskey. Alon and I like to have whiskey while we play. Just casually. We don't get to the point where it inhibits the work, so to speak. It's a casual social/creativity lube I guess.
A: I'm working on a couple new songs with the band. Trying to get us into position to play shows this fall and winter.
In the design work, I have a new brand for a credit union that I'm wrapping up. Pretty stoked how it turned out. I wish I could detail it, but it's not officially launched yet, so it's a secret. On top of that, I'm working on some environmental design concepts for a Credit Union out of Arkansas. That's a ton of fun.
Also working on being an awesome person, Dad, husband, colleague, etc., that's constant self-improvement. In that, I read a great biography on Johnny Cash. He was totally badass and I've been inspired by him to be more of a badass person – without the pills, I guess. It's something I've never been good at.
I have this feeling this fall and winter are going to be busy and awesome. So I'm trying to be prepared for that.
A: Give me a call anytime. We can FaceTime and I'll update ya. Summer Sleeves is on Facebook and Instagram for followers. Jeremycharbonneau.com has my design work. But if you want to know about the fresh stuff, just call me.
Sergei Parajanov (1924–1990) was born to Armenian parents in Georgia, a country that is bounded by the Black Sea, Russia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. At 21, Parajanov enrolled in the directing department at Moscow's VGIK, one of the oldest film schools in Europe.
44.
At 24, Parajanov, but was released after three months. By his late forties, Soviet authorities had grown increasingly suspicious of Parajanov's perceived subversiveness, particularly his bisexuality, y." A group of artists, filmmakers, and activists protested on behalf of Parajanov, among them Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Luis Buñuel, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Andrei Tarkovsky. He was released four years later in December 1977.
Parajanov emphasizes the visual, non-linear qualities of film rather than its narrative techniques. In Color of Pomegranates, the story of a poet's life is told through a series of set pieces, rather than dialogue. His work has been lauded by many directors, including Fellini, Bertolucci, Godard, Coppola, and others.

She has become a symbol for the ill treatment of female artists in the patriarchal art establishment. But, alternatively, she is a symbol for the indestructibility of womens' spirits, and for the kind of powerful creativity that only women possess—a creativity, often, of the senses, the body, and the emotions.
David LaChapelle (1963–) is a photographer and film director known for his high-concept commercial celebrity photography from the 1980s and 1990s. His portrait style is glossy, brightly colored, and surreal, and is influenced by Andy Warhol and Pop Art. LaChapelle began his career in the 1980s at Warhol's Interview Magazine as a teenager. Nowadays, he focuses on fine-art photography, and attends the many retrospectives that galleries show of his work.
Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard are French photographers and partners who have been working together since 1976. They have photographed dozens of celebrities, artists, and cult icons, including Madonna, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Paloma Picasso, Dita Von Teese, Siouxsie Sioux, and Marc Almond. Some of the influences for their glittering, fantastical portraits include religious iconography, Indian mythology, gay culture, and pop culture.
Arbus killed herself in 1971 at 48. Her popularity in the fine-art world in the 1970s helped make critics take photography more seriously as an artform.
He died of a heart attack at 34, at the Cannes Film Festival in 1962.
Cherdonna is the faux-queen persona of Seattle dance and performance artist Jody Kuehner. What makes Cherdonna exciting is that she goes further than other dance artists in questioning convention. She explores and experiments with presentation, gender, and high/low culture. She tests performer/audience roles and assumptions, pushing the comfort level of the audience in a humorous way.
But, the best way to understand Cherdonna is to see her perform. Here are a couple videos: |
en | N/A | N/A | Joe O’Dea: Look, all they’re talking about is inflation, crime, and parents. They’re talking about education a little bit, too, but mostly it’s inflation, cost of gas, cost of their heating bills coming up, cost of groceries. And then this record crime that’s taking over our city. It’s up 30% in the last two years.
Q: What can be done to increase access to housing? When you see that as an issue in the state, what’s your strategy there?
JO: Well, we need innovation. We need to support competition. Again, government red tape is causing the cost of a lot of this health care to drive up. And the fact that working Americans that are buying their own insurance are having to subsidize people that don’t have insurance is driving the cost up for working Americans. We need to get [the] government out of the way so that we can promote good competition across the markets. We should allow multiple providers into different areas so that they have a choice. And when we do that, we flood the market with the availability of this health care that then the price is going to be driven down.
It’s taken 12 years to get permitting done for some of the windmill farms that they’d like to build. It’s taking 10 years, 12 years, for [a] solar panel farm that would generate good, clean energy. And at the same time, they’ve basically made it almost impossible to drill for good, clean natural gas here in Colorado and across our nation. That’s a fuel source that has helped to lower emissions more than any other fuel source in the last ten years. Across Colorado, it’s made an enormous difference in our emissions. If we were to flood the Asian market with good, clean natural gas, we would begin to lower worldwide emissions from some of the dirty energy that they’re using over in China. And so this is a chance for us to make a difference. Not only lowering inflation, it’ll have an extreme amount on inflation — right out of the gate — as soon as the supply goes up, the cost goes down, and it’ll help us manage this inflation as quick as we can turn this around. |

Prior to each season a group of members meet at the fishing hut beside the lake and have a fly tying session and general natter. This is purely a social get-together to swap patterns, stories and also to aid any newcomers willing to learn how to tie flies. For more details please have a look at the association's facebook group page.
Have a look at this YouTube video of a recent fishing session.
The first fish came to a buzzer imitation within five minutes of starting to fish. Of course it went to my fishing pal! I changed my fly to a bloodworm imitation and was soon rewarded with a take. So the day progressed with fish coming to us alternately with the only problem being having to stop fishing, to move the boat back to the lee of the dam. |
en | N/A | N/A | Paramount sent me this photo from "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." The image appears to have been taken inside a tattered airplane, but it's also my dream home theatre, mostly due to the animals and 10-minute movie reels.
Oddly enough, the setting reminds me of one horrible day during the summer following high school.
Because of a personnel emergency, my projectionist union sent me to run the far-beyond tacky flicks at the Houston Street Art Cinema in Atlanta. I was recently 18 and scared to death to be downtown in a dive, but I was working my way to college. This place would prove to be more educational than Biology Lab.
The theatre was an old, greasy automobile garage that had been converted into a makeshift auditorium. They specialized in naughty 16mm silent films for gentlemen, cough cough, and their (where applicable) guests, hack hack cough hack shudder.
To placate these discerning audiences, I was instructed to feed an audio cassette of Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love" album repeatedly through the speaker system, so the overcoat crowd would be dazzled and mood-enhanced by the miracle of sound.
Thank goodness it wasn't "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head."
With apologies to Mr. Bacharach and, of course, B.J. Thomas.
I'm no longer hap'nin'.
I went to the dollar store. Then I ate a pizza.
I had never heard that song before. The good news is the dust mites just stormed out of the house. By the way, Gomer says, "Hey."

3) What is the story of your most romantic kiss?
What the American people want to talk about are the issues, not someone I kissed years ago, someone in the neighborhood. We should be talking about the issues. That's what we should be talking about.
I was very apprehensive, fidgety. I knew I had to do it, my first kiss. I was on a mission. There was another couple with us that would have been merciless to me if I didn't kiss her, so I manned up and went in for the score.
I slid off her face.
The American people don't want to hear about my associations, who I'm palling around with. What the American people want to hear about are the issues What are you wearing?
I know everyone means well, but knock it off. Stop the ageism. Stop treating me like I'm ancient.
It all started around the time I turned 40. People would occasionally refer to me as "sir." I never heard that earlier.
"Have a nice day, sir," or "Would you like fries with that, sir, maybe oxygen?"
Then, when I hit 50, the "sirs" became non-stop. It's a given I'm going to be called "sir" anytime I venture out of the house, excepting those flatter moments when I'm called "ma'am."
"Yes, ma'am, complimentary pap smear?"
I've been dubbed "ma'am" while sporting a five-day stubble. I have a very heavy growth, not one of those wimpy girly beards.
My wife tells me she's bewildered over these comments, too: "No comprendo, Noah, sir."
So, yesterday contained a landmark event. I was checking out of the supermarket and the cashier said, as she finished loading my shopping cart, "Would you like help with this?"
"Wasn't sure 'tweren't 'ma'am.' Yessir, would you like help with this, sir?"
"No, thanks," I said faux cheery, yet I was crestfallen. Help with unsweetened tea, four yogurts (assortment), and Meow Mix Wholesome Goodness?
And there I was athletically sneakered.
I may be aging on the outside, but I'm still my mischievous, energetic, tot-like self on the inside.
I don't shuffle along.
I don't hum the theme from "Barnaby Jones" or hover thought balloons chocked full of Buddy Ebsen.
I don't bark Bingo numbers in a seersucker Matlock blazer, or collect and swap tales of Melba toasts, or drool much.
If a breeze blows by, cumulus dust clouds shan't emanate from me as I teeter over.
I go minutes without a cobweb.
I transferred the bag of groceries to the backseat of my automobile.
A ma'am, who looked old enough to be my deceased grandmother and her mallard, approached. She offered assistance, inquiring, "Would you like me to take your buggy, sir?"
"Yes, thank you," I graciously accepted, bestowing my empty cart, which rolled and pulled her to the collection rack a few spaces down the parking asphalt.
I drove home. That was hours ago. She may have wobbled back to her vehicle by now.
I mor.
"Here's looking bifocally at you, kid," I said, syrupy.
Mort, the cat, leaped onto the countertop. He swiveled his head to face mine and spoke, "Methuselah-ow."
New Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Exposed!
Here's a clip of Jackie Gleason from the early '60s, portraying Stanley R. Sogg, huckster host of a local TV station's late-night motion picture, sponsored by Mother Fletcher products. Add the props, the girls, the film jokes, the shifty commercials, and Jackie's leering persona and there's the same pot of gold funding Johnny Carson's hilarious "Tea Time Movie" sketches for decades to come.
The cheesy appearances of Art Fern were the comedy highlight of the Carson "Tonight Show," but without Gleason there never would have been this fork in the road.

Continued From: "Super Mike"
The documentary of my private heroic manly life, "Super Mike," has been finished. An astute reviewer calls me a "crusader extraordinaire and one hot hero."
That's very nice, and kind of embarrassing since I am aforesaid one hot critic.
The "Super Mike" coming attractions trailer is on display at the Kodak Gallery. Yes, I am a museum piece.
Here are several screen captures of a day in the life.
Some of you may know me as the celebrated Twinkies Bob in "101 Facts From the Book of Twinkie Knowledge," the 1995 blockbuster motion picture that world premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood, USA.
I am not kidding. That trip happened. "Star-studded" is the phrase I use. I saw Nancy Sinatra's cleavage and Buddy Hackett's favorite deli and Jonathan Winter's hangout for hotdogs. I even drove by the restaurant where Bob Hope bought pies on his way home, I wanna tell ya.
Years later, I would use the urinal inside. Bob Hope's urinal.
And now, back to our movie...
During its only public showing, our opus was seen by up to 40 people in, what, a 2000-seat auditorium?
Yes, unlike Twinkies, it didn't have filling.
In the interim, I've been approached several times each year for films, mostly by dental hygienists cleaning my teeth and shooting the x-rays.
I ask for a Winnebago and an assistant, but no.
Recently, I consented, it seems, to allow a documentary crew to follow me around in my everyday life, when I was not busy not making money at the word processor.
The filmmakers have completed the new epic, "Super Mike," their title, not mine. I'm more modest.
Besides, I spent most of my time *on set* insisting I wasn't hoarding socks in my street pants, which you can see here on the movie poster.
Now, see, I never order the rabbit special with the hot and spicy sauce.
I prefer the boneless vegetables in a mild Pepto-Bismol.
Yes, you may call me "Lard Ass." Perhaps, I might come up with a sweetheart name for you, too!

Too infrequently, guys come along with magic in their pants. Or so I'm told. I hire inquisitors. I don't actually do the research myself.

Behold: The Banana Man!
I can't begin to tell you how much influence The Banana Man has had on me, so I won't.
Can't see The Banana Man? Try reloading this page or visit YouTube.
I've been a devoted fan of The Banana Man and puzzled by him for as long as I can remember. He had only one routine and toured the world with it over five decades, winding up as a semi-regular on "Captain Kangaroo." The color clip may be The Banana Man's farewell performance because his ancient props were worn out and essentially impossible to replace.
This black-and-white film is excerpted from a 1939 Red Skelton short subject, wherein TBM works an earlier version of the intricate routine.
The Banana Man was two or more performers through the years, creator A. Robins and his successor, Sam Levine, for certain.
I've written about The Banana Man on my About.com pages, where, if you follow the links, other videos and some fascinating documentation of his story and the magical act are shared.
Mark Evanier has provided anecdotal remarks pertaining to the color tape.
I'd be proud if it were so, but I doubt my ritual has anything to do with The Banana Man. Supermarkets produce the fruit, not my trousers.

en | N/A | N/A | There are three types of muscle in the human body: smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. This blog will focus on skeletal muscle, to find out more about smooth and cardiac muscle, read Zoë‘s blog here.
Skeletal Muscle. CC-BY-SA Ton Haex
Skeletal muscles are what make us move. They make us smile and frown, run, and even blink! Muscles are attached to our bones, they contract and relax and pull our bones in different directions making our bodies move. Different proteins in our muscles bind together to make a muscle contract. The most common proteins in muscles are called actin and myosin. Actin binds to myosin when the muscle contracts and this shortens the sections of muscles, called sarcomeres, that are connected and make up the full length of the muscles. Each sarcomere is shortened when actin and myosin bind, and this shortens the muscle making it contract.
Bicep and tricep muscles work together. As the bicep contracts, the tricep extends and vice versa. CC-BY-SA Wikimedia.
Muscles often work in pairs to move big joints. They are antagonistic muscles. For example, the top half of your arm from your shoulder to your elbow has a muscle on the top side called the bicep, and a muscle underneath called the tricep. If you make the classic “showing off my muscles” pose where you bend your elbow, you will see your bicep standing out. Your bicep muscle contracted when you bent your arm, and your tricep relaxed to allow your arm to bend. If you straighten your arm, your bicep will relax and your tricep will contract. Muscles behave like elastic bands.
Why might you want to strengthen muscle?
A lot of people build muscles to get stronger. Some do this to the extent of becoming body builders, others just through the enjoyment of sport. Building muscle can also be an important part of recovery from an injury such as a dislocated joint, or after an operation. When you don’t use a certain muscle group for a while because it has been injured, those muscles can break down and become weaker. Building muscles can make you stronger and more agile so can help a lot in sporting success.
Specialists such as physiotherapists advise people on how to strengthen muscles after an injury or operation. They will assess the patient and offer advice and instruct them in exercises that can be used to strengthen certain muscle groups. Muscles are attached to bones so strong muscles can support joints and other parts of the skeleton. For people who wish to build the strength of their muscles for fitness gains, they may consult a personal trainer who can tailor an exercise programme to the individual with goals to safely work towards.
When you exercise you are using a lot of different muscles. If you exercise at a level where you are pushing yourself and finding it a bit difficult, you are at a level where muscle can be strengthened. During exercise, muscles can be slightly damaged and stressed, and this is the point where they will grow stronger because they build up to repair themselves. It is important to have rest days between exercises where you are strengthening muscle to give your body time to repair the muscle and let it get stronger. A lot of injuries happen when people overdo the exercise and can really do some harm to the muscles.
Muscles are made up of lots of muscle fibres which are formed by lots of strands of protein bound together. Eating protein is very important for healing muscles and building them up. When you digest proteins they are broken down into amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. Your body can then use these amino acids to build up the correct protein needed to repair the muscles and make them stronger.
Remember to give your body time to rest and recover after intensive exercise. Your body is naturally very good at repairing and strengthening muscles. Do not over exert yourself or you may end up with an injury. |

Hey, Diana…Americans do not deserve a candidate such as Ron Paul. He is too smart, too much judgment and understand the real world too much. When people repeat a first mistake by voting for Bush, not too much hope for the future. Nothing will change much in Washington…

– Even: Is she a Yankees or a Cubs fan?
If Obama cast 4000 votes and 130 of them were ‘present’, that comes to 0.0325 percent of the time. How is that an issue?How can it be construed as ‘often’ as Raymond Hernandez and Christopher Drew assert in another article in this same section? |

en | N/A | N/A | His character on Caprica was a part of an already-existing franchise, so I was curious about how it felt to create a role whole cloth for an original new show. Roiz credits the writer-producers on both Caprica and Grimm with being open and collaborative. “With every episodic there’s a learning curve where writers try to find the voice of the characters by way of the actors. Many details are found along the way. On Caprica, although the franchise already existed, we were creating an entirely new world full of new characters. Being a prequel, we never felt hindered by BSG in any way, and always felt free to create and add to the already intricate world that was to come. I feel equally free with Grimm. There’s a foundation that has been created for us by David and Jim, and we are now, as actors, helping layer and texture the finer details.”
Any drawbacks to TV?
“There’s always a pressure to look good and be fit. I enjoy being active, it’s part of my lifestyle. Beyond a work requirement, I’m not that interested in making shirtless appearances. I’m in my late thirties and feel that it’s time for a more distinguished approach. In this industry, I think it’s fine and sometimes beneficial to receive attention for one’s appearance. But ultimately, the focus should always remain on the work.”
Like his Grimm costar, Bitsie Tulloch, whom you might know from the web shows Quarterlife and LonelyGirl15, Roiz has taken part in projects designed for the internet—like Crazy/Sexy/Awkward, an irreverent dating comedy; or this hilarious PSA about gay bullying—as well as independent film like the upcoming sci-fi thriller, Extracted, or the short film, Neighbors. He doesn’t seem to make a distinction in terms of quality between mainstream media and stuff that’s off the beaten path. “I try to strike a balance between projects that are fulfilling for me personally and those that are beneficial for my career. Often, I’m lucky enough to have a mix of the two,” Roiz explains. “We all need to make a living and continue to foster a career, but that won’t exclude me from taking on projects that I feel are going to be enjoyable, stimulating or challenging.”

en | N/A | N/A | Administrative History Archibald Downes Shaw (1857-1939), Anglican clergyman and missionary of Clifton, Bristol was accepted by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in 1876 when he was sent to St Paul's College, Hong Kong as a missionary student. He subsequently attended the Church Missionary College in Islington. In 1881 he was ordained deacon and then priest and served briefly as curate of Doddington, Cambridgeshire. Later the same year he went to East Africa as a CMS missionary first at Kisulitini (1881-87) and then at Frere Town (1887-88); and in 1889 he transferred to Mauritius where he was appointed as chaplain of Vacoas and Black River. In 1890 he was invalided back to England and his connection with the CMS then ceased.
His subsequent career involved many moves: Curate, Littleton, Middlesex, 1890-93; Organising Secretary, Church Army, 1893-1894; Chaplain, Dr Barnardo's Homes, 1894-1898; Vicar,1898-1902; Rector of Kettlestone, Norfolk, 1902-11 ; Vicar, Great Horton, Bradford, 1911-15; and Rector, Scotton, Lincolnshire, 1915-24. He then retired to Cornwall. |

en | N/A | N/A | In the previous series of tutorials, we haven’t concerned ourselves too much with the use of variable names within our terminal and scripts. However, as our programs become larger and require more functions and modules, it’s important to know how Python uses variable names to perform actions.
We’ve mentioned before how every “thing” in Python is an object. When we assign an integer x = 1, we are telling Python that when we reference x, we mean for Python to point to the integer-type object 1 for any usage of the value of 1 for numeric calculations or other methods. A “namespace” is a dictionary that Python uses to lookup the given variable name, and retrieve the object associated with it. This is formally called “mapping” the variable names to objects.
To obtain the listing of names that Python can access, we can use the dir function. We’ve previously used this function to determine what attributes of an object were accessible, but by executing the function without an argument we can return a list of all the variables within the current namespace. If we start a new terminal or module and execute dir(), we can see the following:
These are the high-level objects available for access from a plain instance of Python within a terminal or module.
You may also remember in our tutorial on Python control flows, we used the id function to determine the id of Python objects.
The reason why we want to know more about these namespaces is because we want to know what variables are available for use at a given time. In the context of Python namespaces, a “scope” is the collection of names associated with a particular environment.
Python has the following scopes:
When a name is referenced in Python, the interpreter searches for it in the namespaces starting from the smallest scope in the above diagram, and progressively moves outward until Python either finds the name or raises a NameError exception. Now let’s look into these scopes in detail.
The builtin scope contains all of the Python functions that are builtin to vanilla Python. These include common functions such as print and dir. A list of all the Python builtin functions can be found here Whenever one of the builtin functions is specified, Python will search until it finds the name of the function in the builtin scope’s namespace. The builtin scope is the widest scope Python uses, which means that if any name within the builtin scope is defined again within a smaller scope, then the name within the smaller scope will be used. This can be detrimental if we use a builtin name as a new variable. For example:
Oh no! By defining a variable with a name that conflicts with a builtin name, we’ve effectively removed the capability to use the print function. However, we haven’t deleted the print function, it’s just not the first name reached in the scope. The print function still exists, but to reach it we’ll have to manually specify builtin scope to find it. This can be done by specifying the builtin module, __builtin__ that is imported automatically when the Python interpreter is started.
One step below the builtin namespace scope is the module scope. The module scope consists of all names defined within the executing module or terminal within Python, outside of any class or function. This is the namespace we generally think of when we assign objects to variables like so:
x = 2 # x is now defined within the module namespace
This means that objects defined within the module have access to this namespace if they do not exist within an enclosing scope:
x = 2 def f(): print(x) f() > 2
This may seen counterintuitive based on our previous discussions on functions. In the above example, x was not defined within the function f, therefore we would think that the interpreter would raise a NameError exception. However, because of the overlapping scopes model Python employs, the variable name x was searched for in the higher-level scope (the module scope in this case) and returned to the function.
Caution: While we have seen in the above example that we can reference names in a higher-level scope, this method of object reference should be avoided. Because the variable could be found in any of the higher levels of scopes, there can be ambiguity within smaller scopes as to which variable is being referenced. This is why we follow the advice given in the functions tutorial: assume that only variables passed into the input of a function can be used within the function, and assume that only variables returned by the function can be used in the main program.
Python Local and Enclosing Scopes
The local scope is the namespace of the “current” level of the program. This is either within a function, class, or imported module that is not the main module. For example:
x = 2 # x is now defined within the module namespace def function(): x = 3 # x is now defined within the local namespace of function
Bear in mind the local namespace is not the lowest level of all the nested functions, classes, or modules, but rather the level on which the code is executing. For example:
x = "2" # x is now defined within the module namespace def example(): x = "3" # x is now defined as 3 within the local namespace of example def method(): x = "4" # x is now defined as 4 within the local namespace of method def function(): x = "5" # x is now defined as 5 within the local namespace of function print("Function Scope: " + x) function() print("Method Scope: " + x) method() print("Example Scope: " + x) example() print("Module Scope: " + x) > Function Scope: 5 > Method Scope: 4 > Example Scope: 3 > Module Scope: 2
Namespaces between a local scope and the module scope are considered enclosing scopes. In the above code, the method function has x defined as 4 within its local scope, 3 in the enclosing example scope, and 2 in the module scope. The method scope does not have access to the x defined as 5 within the function scope.
Now that we’ve seen how Python searches for variables, let’s focus on how we can manually assign variables to different namespaces. Being able to shift the scope of a defined variable outside of its local namespace can be important. For example, in the last code block of the previous section, we couldn’t access the x variable that was assigned to 5 in the smallest scope. The proper way to pass variables between scopes is to pass objects into a function through the input tuple and return the values through the function return call. However, there are some instances where this can be tricky to perform. Python has established the global and nonlocal statements for this purpose.
In any namespace, declaring a variable with the global statement will store and retrieve that variable immediately from the module scope. For example:
x = "2" # x is now defined within the module namespace def example(): x = "3" # x is now defined as 3 within the local namespace of example def method(): global x # x will now be defined as being within the module scope x = "4" # x is now defined as 4 within the local and module namespace def function(): x = "5" # x is now defined as 5 within the local namespace of function print("Function Scope: " + x) function() print("Method Scope: " + x) method() print("Example Scope: " + x) example() print("Module Scope: " + x) > Function Scope: 5 > Method Scope: 4 > Example Scope: 3 > Module Scope: 4
Within the method namespace we declared x as being a global variable, or a variable within the module namespace. After the global statement, changes to the x variable changed the variable within the module scope as well, leading to the final print of the module scope x as 4.
Notice that in the above code, defining x as global within one namespace did not forever declare that the name was in the module scope. You can see that after function assigned the value to be 5, it only persisted within the function namespace. The global statement only serves to declare that a variable within the namespace in which it is invoked is defined within the module scope.
Where the global statement serves to declare a variable within the module scope, the nonlocal statement declares that the variable is within the scope of the next enclosing namespace. For example:
x = "2" # x is now defined within the module namespace def example(): x = "3" # x is now defined as 3 within the local namespace of example def method(): nonlocal x # x will now be defined as being within the example scope x = "4" # x is now defined as 4 within the local and example namespace def function(): x = "5" # x is now defined as 5 within the local namespace of function print("Function Scope: " + x) function() print("Method Scope: " + x) method() print("Example Scope: " + x) example() print("Module Scope: " + x) > Function Scope: 5 > Method Scope: 4 > Example Scope: 4 > Module Scope: 2
We can see that the nonlocal statement allowed Python to declare the variable x within the method namespace as also being within the next enclosing namespace example. This did not alter the assignment of the variable within any of the outer scopes, as the module namespace still had x assigned to 2.
Note that the nonlocal statement will fail if the next enclosing scope is the module scope:
x = "2" # x is now defined within the module namespace def example(): nonlocal x # x will now be defined as being within the example scope x = "3" # x is now defined as 3 within the local namespace of example > SyntaxError: no binding for nonlocal 'x' found
If the next enclosing scope is the module scope, then the global statement will need to be used instead.
Python Namespaces and Scopes Practice Problems
Without running the code, predict the output of the following:
x = "2" def example(): x = "3" def method(): global x x = "4" def function(): nonlocal x x = "5" print("Function Scope: " + x) function() print("Method Scope: " + x) method() print("Example Scope: " + x) example() print("Module Scope: " + x)
x = "2" def example(): x = "3" def method(): global x x = "4" def function(): global x x = "5" print("Function Scope: " + x) function() print("Method Scope: " + x) method() print("Example Scope: " + x) example() print("Module Scope: " + x)
Suppose we have the following list of lists:
ll = [[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]]
We want to create two loops to read the data. The outer loop will iterate over the outer list (the “rows”), the inner loop will iterate over the inner lists (the “columns”), and both will break once a 1 is encountered. Note that once the 1 is encountered on the inner loop, it must stop the outer loop as well. Write a piece of code that uses the global statement to accomplish this. Solution
Suppose we import a module that contains some numerical packages for using the Buckingham Pi Theorem, in which there exists a function called pi that is not the irrational number $\pi$. we also imported the math module that has a variable pi that is the irrational number $\pi$. How can we tell Python which of these objects to use in a given setting? Solution
A developer working on a project with you made a mistake in one of their modules such that an important variable you need to import directly into your program is named open. After importing this variable using the from [module] import open, you can no longer open files using the builtin open function. If you must import the open variable direction (no [module].open), then what is one method for accessing the builtin open function? Solution
> SyntaxError: no binding for nonlocal 'x' found
Recall that the nonlocal statement refers to the next enclosing scope that is not the module scope. While the next enclosing scope was the method scope, the x variable was declared a global statement within that enclosing scope, therefore the x variable was effectively in the module scope.
> Function Scope: 5 > Method Scope: 5 > Example Scope: 3 > Module Scope: 5
3. Python has no method of breaking an outer loop from within an inner loop, therefore we will have to either pass a flag variable to the outer loop from an inner loop function, or use a global variable.
break_loops = False def inner(inlist): # Define an inner reading loop function global break_loops for i in inlist: if i == 1: break_loops = True break for i in ll: inner(i) if break_loops: break
4. This is the ultimate reason why we want to avoid using the from [module] import [object] syntax when importing modules. This format copies the object from the namespace of the target module to the module scope or global scope. If we import objects from modules using the import [module] method, then we can explicitly tell Python in which namespace it should look for the variable with [module].pi.
5. While in this example we cannot specify the namespace of the open variable we imported, we can use the workaround solution of calling __builtin__.open to access the usual open function.

en | N/A | N/A | Shaun Resnik is a natural healthcare provider in Caulfield South VIC, who specialises in naturopathy, hypnotherapy, NLP, TFT and mindfulness.
He treats all kinds of physical and mental health issues and enables his clients to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.
Break old negative behaviour patterns and shift your limiting beliefs to supportive ones in order to live the life you desire. Hypnosis allows you to do exactly that. It’s a type of therapy that puts you in a relaxed and receptive state to activate e ideas of yourself.
NLP helps you release negative emotions that are attached to your past experiences. Unlike ‘analysis paralysis’, a therapy process which involves analysing your childhood for years to the point of trapping you in your past and severe boredom, NLP immediately and effectively produces a positive outcome.
Naturopathy recognises the unique requirements of each person’s body to stay in tiptop condition. As a professional naturopath, Shaun provides personalised consultation to help each client identify their specific needs through different tests such as hair and nail examination, tongue analysis, zinc testing and iridology, just to name a few.
He collaborates with other naturopaths and medical practitioners to achieve the best results for his patient.
Developed by Roger Callahan Ph.D. more than 25 years ago, TFT releases the negative emotions you’ve been hoarding for ages. This healing system involves clearing of the energy pathways to treat the underlying causes of your emotional issues, which could range from phobia and trauma to anxiety and grief, to guilt and anger.
ACT is a type of mindfulness therapy that teaches you how to respond to negative thoughts and emotions rather than ignore them. In doing so, you reprogram your psychological world and allow your mind to support your goals instead of working against them.
In an ACT therapy session, you will learn how to diffuse negative thoughts associated with past events in your life so that they don’t affect you anymore. Your mind will also be trained to live in the present moment and bask in all its gifts rather than focus on what has been.
Homeopathy is an age-old modality that activates the body’s inherent power to heal itself. It is based on the concept that a substance which produces symptoms of a disease same symptoms in a sick person.
Several of my clients have expressed their interest in this modality because of its efficacy in improving their health without any adverse effect. Homeopathy continues to grow in popularity in Europe, India and the USA where the number of homeopathic hospitals has mushroomed.

Updated: September 14, 2021, 10:25 CESTCristiano Ronaldo is "the greatest player of all time", rather than Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo, who moved back to Man Utd this summer, played at Old Trafford with Neville, and the ex-right-back has praised his former teammate to the most extreme measure.
On Monday Night Football on SkySports, Neville looked back at Ronaldo's second debut at Man Utd, a brace against Newcastle, and it prompted him to give the Portuguese star the edge over Messi.
Neville said: "Look, there's no doubt that Messi's scored an obscene amount of goals. He's a ridiculous player.
"The thing that tips it over the edge even more is that international record, of the most international goals ever. The fact that he's won five Champions Leagues with teams that aren't even as good as Messi's team.
Neville played with Ronaldo for the majority of the mid-2000s, and the pair helped Man Utd assert their dominance on English football with th. Ronaldo, of course, left in 2009 to join Real Madrid in a world record transfer at the time, helpiwins in the mid-2010s.

Essays on International Business - McDonalds Restaurant Case Study
Tags: Fast FoodFranchiseGlobalisationInternational BusinessOil
The paper "International Business - McDonald’ s RestauracDonald’ s restaurant was founded in 1937 in Pasadena California by brothers Maurice and Richard McDonald. The McDonald brothers later in 1961 sold the restaurant to Ray Kroc, whose first internationalization attempt was in Canada in 1967 (Vignali 2001). One year later, Kroc sold the license to operate in eastern Canada to George Cohon, who went ahead to expand the McDonald’ s restaurant in that region to 640 restaurant outlets. From the Canadian expansion, McDonald learned early that the key to international expansion was through franchising.
Through the franchise business, Vignali (2001) notes that McDonald’ s had expanded to more than 100 countries establishing more than 20,000 restaurants by 2001. Twelve years later, the expansion of McDonald’ s is no doubt characterized by its presence in more countries and more restaurants. One of McDonald’ s aims has been identified by Vignali (2001, p. 99) as the creation of “ s” . Having to attend to different tastes and preferences across geographical and cultural preferences has made standardisation a challenging aim to accomplish.
In response to the aforementioned challenge, therefore, Vignali (2001, p. 99) observes that McDonald’ s has adopted a concept dubbed “ think global, act locally” . In other words, the restaurant has realised the importance of adaptation and by so doing, it has been able to satisfy to match the laws, customs, tastes and preferences of diverse consumers across the world. Notably, however, most of the adaptations to local environments are just variations to the original McDonald’ s menu, which include a burger or a sandwich; fries, and a soft drink (Vignali 2001).
In China for example, and with respect to the emphasis that the Chinese place on family values, McDonald’ s introduced family-friendly offers (e. g. The Aunt and Uncle McDonald’ s) (Heer & Penfold 2003) Issues confronting McDonald’ s Restaurant Anti-globalization sentiments Anti-globalization sentiments are perhaps some of the biggest challenges that McDonald’ s has to contend with. While the firm is always particularly happy to announce its international expansion, anti-globalization sentiments often underscore the negatives that the restaurant takes with it to its new market.

The A team enlisted in both the Durham Challenge Cup and the Northern Football Alliance in 1890. [8]
The 'A' team won the inaugural Alliance in 1891 and dominated the early years of the league, winning five out of the first six seasons. [9] They competed in the Alliance until 1902. [10] In 1906 they joined the new North Eastern League along with reserve teams from Newcastle United, Middlesbrough and Bradford City. [11] Sunderland finished second to Newcastle United 'A' in their first two seasons, and won the league for the first time in 1925. Sunderland went on to win it a further nine times, second only to Middlesbrough. [11] The North East's league teams withdrew their reserve teams from the North Eastern League in 1958. [12] Sunderland and Middlesbrough both joined the North Regional League. Sunderland won it once and came second three times before the league disbanded in 1969. [13] Sunderland bid to join The Central League in 1970, but were unsuccessful after only receiving four votes. [14]
Sunderland Reserves played a single season in the Wearside Football League in 1979–80, [15] before joining The Central League in 1983.
In 1997, Sunderland joined the FA Premier Youth League, for the U18s teams of Premier League. Sunderland finished second in the North section. A year later, the league was renamed the FA Premier Academy League, was split into U19s and U17s divisions, and expanded to include selected academies from Football League teams. Sunderland fielded teams in all six seasons of this incarnation. In 2004, the league was restructured again, renamed the Premier Academy League, and reset to U18s only. Sunderland's best performance was in 2006–07 - they won group D, beat Manchester City in the Play-Off Semi-Final, but lost on penalties to Leicester City in the final. The Sunderland side included Jordan Henderson, Jack Colback and Martyn Waghorn. [18]

en | N/A | N/A | Feminist health advocates rally against Prop. 73
By Michelle Burton Brown
HEY ARNIE
While invited guests and the media awaited the arrival of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger inside the air-conditioned Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. two weeks ago, pro-choice advocates braved 97-degree temperatures outside the brewery to demonstrate their opposition to Proposition 73, if a female seeking an abortion is under 18 years of age. At the present time, 33 states have parental-involvement laws.
According to pro-choice advocates, the law targets teenagers who have compelling reasons for not involving their parents in their family planning and reproductive decisions. Under existing California law, teenagers have the right to family-planning related services such as those relating to birth control, abortion, prenatal care, childbirth, adowithout the consent of their parents.
Schwarzenegger has endorsed the idea of parental notification, but has not taken a position on the measure.
The Women’s Health Specialists (WHS) of Northern California advocates reproductive freedom and opposes any legislation that places rThe organization’s stance is that abortion is a medically safe and simple procedure and that it is unconstitutional to deny sexually active women access to preventative family planning procedures. Proposition 73 is on the Nov. 8 California special election ballot.
“Ca6,” Schnitger said. “It’s polling 50/50, too close to call and he’s.”
Proponents of the initiative say that they are not seeking a parental consent law, only a 48-hour waiting period to notify parents that their daughter is seeking an abortion. According to the Institute of Governmentaly, Proposition 73 would also require that physicians report abortions and that the State compile statistics. The mother of a teenager who received family planning services at the WHS, without her mother’s consent, was used to campaign for the law. The amendment was never implemented and was challenged in 1997. The state ated a minor’ “ion.”
Past attempts to place legislation similar to Proposition 73 on the ballot in California failed.

Feminist health care providers argue that parental notification laws will result in delayed medical care for the most vulnerable teens, putting them at risk for health complications, premature parenting and possible physical abuse. Philips noted that Texas has one of the most recent laws, now 5 years old, and as of June 5 of this year, the law changed from notification to mandating consent.

Lippy is a kind of blowhard with a twist of WC Fields to his delivery (voiced by Daws Butler). Animation reference websites (whose knowledge is more encyclopedic than mine) state that Butler based the voice on comedian Joe E. Brown and that the voice is pretty much the same of Peter Potamus (who ran at H-B from 1964-66, so Lippy was first----the Warner Archives put out Peter's collected works on DVD in 2016). He's very much a nice guy….lion…
Hardy is a worry-wart, who finds the worst interpretation of everything that happens, is paralyzed by fear, and never wants to try anything new or different. He's voiced by the great Mel Blanc (you'll also hear Blanc doing other minor characters in these shorts), who is perfect for the hemming and hawing and cynical mumbling the character does non-stop. The irony here is that hyenas are supposed to be laughing all the time—but this is an over-worrying, depressed hyena!
I've been watching these 52 shorts randomly, but to focus on the first three here, you can see the basic format. In the first one, they are adrift at sea and run into a pirate. In the second one, they are riding the rails on a train and get thrown off by the railroad security heavy (nowhere near as brutal, though, as Ernest Borgnine as Shack in the classic EMPEROR OF THE NORTH, this being a kid's cartoon) while dreaming of eating some watermelon (Lippy tells Hardy to be happy by thinking of something fun to eat, and mentions watermelon), which they do eventually get. In the third one, they are rambling around the countryside and encounter a mad scientist (the music at one points references the theme song of the Alfred Hitchcock TV show!
Cartoons, like comedy shorts, often provide me with the kind of absurdist "head cleaner" (to use the language of cassette or VHS tapes) I need during a long day or a stressful period. It's like pushing my own personal re-set button. Hanna-Barbera were at the height of their powers in the early 60's. Virtually every set of animal cartoon characters they created during this period is now considered a classic which has held up very well over the decades, and one certainly can't say that about later periods of H-B animation (though they always continued to have at least some worthwhile projects in any era). If you have a taste for this sort of thing, you should definitely score a copy of this fine 2-DVD set, with all 52 (! |

The special issue of Filmicon “Strategies of the Documentary” seeks to address the diverse aesthetic, historical, medial, and theoretical connections between moving images and all possible aspects of the ‘documentary.’ In light of the many facets of this key term, the issue does not confine itself to practices or traditions of documentary cinema in Greece. It rather explores the multiple cinematic acts and modes of registering, representing, evidencing, authenticating, certifying, and instructing. It discusses the indexical nature of photography and the digital image, the factual as well as fictional functions of audio-visual recording, the archival status of documentary film in Greece, its ideologies, deceptions, and omissions, the filmic depiction of documentation processes, the documents presented on-screen or lost in the Mediterranean Sea. This thematic focus responds to three interrelated circumstances:

Associate Professor Maria Oikonomou (University of Vienna / Thessaloniki)
Ever since its emergence as part of the British cultural studies during the 1970s, television studies have charted a progressive yet certainly complicated course. From a neglected cousin, television studies have succeeded in becoming independent from film and media studies, to the point that they have now come to be considered an ‘established field’ with its own degrees and courses at different Anglophone universities. Furthermore, thanks to its disciplinary hybridity, the study of television in countries like the UK and the USA has attracted extensivethus resulting in an exponentially rich body of monographs and articles that read and decode – among other formats – the polysemy of television shows and series.
The academic study of Greek television, however, has a limited place in the national and international bibliography. Previous studies have adopted mainly autobiographic, historical and sociological approaches in an attempt to capture ‘the big picture’ of Greek television and chronicle the evolution of the medium, as well its impact on viewers across different time periods and cultural moments. It can be argued that with the exception of television critics and relatively recent academic interventions in collective volumes and articles, such as Kaklamanidou (2017), Vamvakas & Paschalidis (2018), and Aitaki (2015, 2017, 2018), the discussion around Greek fiction still remains in its infancy. This lack of systematic engagement with the area of television fiction, combined with the closure of the MEGA channel, signifies a need to discuss and reconsider Greek television’s traditionally ‘unserious’ cultural archive, especially within the context of commercially oriented television.
The scope of the special issue may include (but is not restricted to) the following themes revolving around Greek TV fiction:
Textual and contextual analysis of case studies
Representation of gender, sexuality, body image, ethnicity and/or disability
‘Identity politics’ and intersectionality
Production, reception and consumption
Book-to-TV adaptations
Television series and audiences
Television fiction and fandom
Television fiction in the Internet age
Programming strategies and reruns
The case of MEGA channel

BALKAN CINEMA ON THE CROSSROADS: FROM NITRATE TO DIGITAL (International Conference, Belgrade, 11-13 June, 2017) CALL FOR PAPERS
FILMICON’S SPECIAL ISSUE, CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Old Games, New Rules: Rethinking Genre in Greek Cinema from the 1970s to the present (abstract submission deadline: 15th May 2016)
In this context elitism and commercial failure have been simplistically ascribed to the films and filmmakers of Greek Cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, while methodological approaches derived mainly from auteur theory and cultural criticism have been applied to their work. Thus, commercial successes such as Petrina hronia/ Stone Years (Pantelis Voulgaris, 1985), Loufa ke parallagi/ Loafing and Camouflage (Nikos Perakis, 1984) or Rembetico (Costas Ferris 1983) and their relationship to genre have been disregarded, while the generic features of Nikolaidis’s and Panayotopoulos’s films (just to mention two of the most significant filmmakers of New Greek Cinema), within particular local and international contexts, have attracted little attention.
Although in the 1990s and 2000s genre cinema gained growing importance as post-classical expression in both art and mainstream global cinema, and Greece saw a resurgence of commercial and art film, only a few studies have explored genre in contemporary Greek film production. The flourishing of popular comedies drawing on the conventions of Old Greek Cinema and/or Greek TV series, the emergence of melodramas with a camp or queer sensibility, of crime films with sociopolitical nuances and even hybrid horror films with figures such as the vampire and zombie are only a few aspects of this unexplored field. It goes without saying that the relation of the so called ‘Greek Weird Wave’ to genre is also in need of a meticulous research.
Contesting genres: hybridity, parody, transtextuality and other generic transformations.
Genre and the nation.

Genre and the representation of the past: the heritage film, the nostalgia film, the historical film, the period film and the costume drama.

They couched their demands in claims of high principle and fixing a “broken” House by returning to “regular order.” Some of what they sought could do some good, such as holding votes on all 12 spending bills for a change. Democrats and some Republicans prefer trillion-dollar omnibus bills that hide a thousand special-interest favors and earmarks. Holding votes onbalanced-budget resolution are symbolic but have no chance of becoming law.
But note that the rebel demands included gaining seats of power for themselves. They won two seats on the Rules Committee that sets the terms for floor debate and amendments. This could narrow Mr. McCarthy’s maon.
They also won a 2022. That includes defense spending, which would have to fall by $75 billion if the cuts are split with nondefense accounts.
Whatever happened to “regular order”? The holdouts have imposed their own budget policy here on the rest of the GOP House. The GOP’s defense hawks may be able to carve out more for the military than for social spending, but the pressure for defense cuts will be great.
That’s a terrible signal to send adversaries who are increasingly belligerent, as well as to defense contractors who need certainty about funding to make proper investments. The dovish House Republicans will find themselves allied with President Biden and the Democratic left, of all people. The Senate will have to save the day.
The biggest potential problem for Mr. McCarthy is his agreement to let any single Member of the majority party move to “vacate the chair” for what is essentially a no-confidence vote on his Speakership. The claim is that this is no big deal and was merely the status quo before Nancy Pelosi had Democrats vote to change the rule.
All of this—and other details that we’ll no doubt discover in the coming days—will complicate the ability of the GOP to govern. With a Democratic White House and Senate, the only leverage House Republicans have is the ability to deliver 218 votes. The gang of 20 this week has demonstrated that the tail of one House faction can wag the majority. Don’t be surprised if others do the same.
This week of House melodrama won’t matter in the long run if Republicans can unite and govern like a coherent majority. If they can’t, Mr. McCarthy may regret the high price he paid for the honor of being called Speaker. The country may regret it too. |
en | N/A | N/A | Tribune Co. Sets Newspaper Spinoff For August 4 July 15, 2014 2:35 pm / 0 Comments / Economy, National News
newspaper industry Tribune Co Tribune Publishing Company
New York (AFP) — U.S. media conglomerate Tribune Co. on Tuesday approved the spinoff of its newspaper division — including the big Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune dailies — for August 4.
The new unit called Tribune Publishing Company will be publicly traded under the symbol TPUB, under a plan approved by the board of directors.
The parent firm, to be renamed Tribune Media Company and which is focusing on broadcasting through its WGN cable channel and local stations, will own 1.5 percent of the publishing unit after the spinoff. The media arm also includes digital assets such as the websites Cars.com and Careerbuilder.com.
The company became privately held after it emerged from bankruptcy in 2012. The reorganization $13 billion in debt.
In addition to the Chicago and Los Angeles dailies, the newspaper division includes The Baltimore Sun; the Sun Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; the Orlando Sentinel; the Hartford Courant in Connecticut; The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania; and Daily Press in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Tribune Co. discussed the possibility of selling its newspaper operations in a single transaction, but few buyers appeared to be interested in more than a single newspaper.
Some reports said media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who controls News Corp. and its big dailies along with the media group 21st Century Fox, may be interested in the Los Angeles Times or the entire division.
Last July, Tribune Co. said it would spin off its newspaper division in a separate company “to maximize shareholder value.”

About that time she met a woman who was also a deputy wife. Cyndi was a little older, and her husband had been with the county for several years. She took a liking to Renee, and they soon found they had much in common. Soon this friendship blossomed into a mentoring relationship. Cyndi called Renee from time to time and asked her how she was faring. She’d answer questions and listened to Renee’s concerns. She gently guided Renee to keep on investing in her marriage and children and offered understanding and helpful ideas. Unlike the lonely deployment experience, she felt supported and strong.

In my fatigue of the days, months and years of constant battling for our marriage, the Third Strand gave me strength. And in my inadequacies, He somehow made up the difference.
