Top marks for Deputy Head Boy
A teenager who has been heavily involved in all aspects of life at Monmouth School for Boys achieved three A*s at A level.
Adam, from Tidenham near Chepstow, played football and rugby for the school and spearheaded an outstanding business project, called MySlides, which reached the UK final of the Young Enterprise competition.
A Deputy Head at school, Adam was among 14 boys at Monmouth who recorded three or more A* and A grades.
He will now be heading to the University of Exeter to read Modern Foreign Languages.
Adam joined Monmouth in Year 9 from St John's on-the-Hill and gained 9A*s and a 9 at GCSE.
Adam's brother, Dan, was a Deputy Head Boy at Monmouth School for Boys in 2016-17.
During his year as Deputy Head Boy, 18-year-old Adam enjoyed passing on the Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools' message and taking on a role of responsibility and leadership.
He participated in weekly assemblies, gave speeches and helped out at open mornings and other school events, including the Carol Service and Speech Day. He also chaired the Joint Schools' Council.
This year, 38.5% of all A-level grades at Monmouth School for Boys were A* to A – well above the national average of 25.5% – and 66.4% were A* to B, an improvement in the results from 2018.
The A* rate was 11.1% – again exceeding the national average.
Headmaster, Dr Andrew Daniel, was delighted that Adam completed his studies at Monmouth with the top grades possible in his French, Spanish and History A levels.

Pak-It-Yourself is a New Zealand brand that provides purpose-made moving, shipping and storage boxes, a robust range of other packing supplies.
We empower you to become your own professional mover, capable of proficiently packing yourself without transit insurance penalty as our packing boxes and supplies are insurer approved.
We keep our range of packaging materials and cardboard boxes simple to keep your costs to a minimum no matter where you're moving to. Rather than supply unnecessary and more costly kinds of packaging, what we supply in our range can achieve similar results without added expense.
Moving house can be stressful so when it comes to local or worldwide relocations, it's difficult to know who's right for you amongst the multitude of moving companies. But the PIY approach is different to most because it enables you to do as much or as little as you like without the worry of not being able to obtain transit insurance. | {

So we finally got around to playing one of the old German classics, Heimlich & Co., which is one of those ludicrously simple games that relies entirely on your ability to bluff the other players. And rather good it is, too. However, I'm always a bit nervous about playing games that involve having to keep secrets with Miss B, as it's not something that comes naturally to a five-year-old.
…And so it turned out to be. We got a couple of turns into the game and hit the first round of scoring when Miss B inadvertently said "..and I score five", instantly blowing the secret out of the water. That was not good for morale, so we agreed to start the game again now we had had a practice run and knew what it was all about. Good. That worked.
We got quite a bit further in the next game before things went wrong. Again the identity of Miss B's agent slipped out, but this time she was quite a long way ahead of me and I managed to convince her that it was OK and we'd carry on and see if she could guess what my colour was.
From here on my play style got a bit cavalier, but by now the aim of the game was to finish with both of us managing to smile, rather than for us to have a good gaming contest. We just about succeeded on this front.
I still think this is a very good game (and I love that the pieces are so huge and chunky), but it's not one that we'll be playing together for a while, and it provides an object lesson to us. While Miss B has shown herself to be very capable of keeping a secret in a game (remember Lords of Waterdeep?), where the secret keeping is almost the entire game, the pressure is just too much. Maybe we'll try again in a couple of years or so.
The game: Heimlich & Co. (Ravensburger), 2 to 7 players aged 8+.
El Grande is certainly one of my all-time favourite games. With four or five players it provides a quick moving, deep tactical game which really set the standards for area-control Euro games. It's rather less good with two players, but it's still OK and as there isn't any real hidden information in the game, I figured Miss B could probably handle it.
Oh, and my copy is in German. This really doesn't matter though as it just requires reading out the translations of the action cards once each turn, and the illustrations on these cards are generally very useful for demonstrating what they do.
Due to it being many years since I last played El Grande and my failure to read the rules properly, I made a bit of a mistake over where you can place your men on the board. When I remembered the mistake we had a discussion and decided to carry on as we were. The mistake just made it easier to place men, removing a degree of potential frustration, though also getting rid of much of the tactical play. For a first play with a 5-year-old that sounds in retrospect like a good thing, so I'll pretend here that I intentionally decided that caballeros can be placed anywhere and not just adjacent to the king and would you please disregard the rest of this paragraph.
The game went remarkably well. El Grande really isn't much of a two-player game (though there are some tweaks that can improve it) but it's not a bad way to spend some time. Miss B got to grips with the basic province-to-court and court-to-board mechanism to move the caballeros, and was happy with the action cards too. I needed to remind her of things from time to time, but that's normal: most card games involve regular reminders for her to draw a card. During play I challenged Miss B for a couple of regions so there would be a bit of a feel of competition, but we mostly pottered along on our own. Overall I felt things went really well, though it'll be a while before we have a competitive game.
Next time we play (and I'm pretty sure there will be a next time) we'll play the proper placement rule and probably just play a six-turn game (another thing I didn't think about in advance). Then hopefully we'll be able to play with more people one day.
The verdict from Miss B (aged 5½): "It was good. I liked it because I learnt new words… like Koenig." Ah, gaming plus German lesson all in one. Sometimes I miss the time when so many of these great games weren't available in English.
The game: El Grande (Hans In Glueck), 2 to 5 players aged 12+.
Four pairs of horses, three piles of food, two bags of gold and a highwayman!
Another game of varying names, we have Highwayman, which is also known as Stake Your Claim, a name which I think fits the artwork (and gameplay) rather better. You have piles of treasure and other goodies which you try to claim either from the middle or by stealing from other players. Not entirely ethical, but fun for a quick game.
The rules we have suggest two different variant games. The two-player version seems a bit trivial to me, so we went with the standard game, the only tweak being that Miss B had her hand of cards on the table as she found it a bit tricky to hold them.
Incidentally, we have developed a fun way of counting up scores in our games where you see who has collected the most treasures. We discard our treasures together, one at a time, counting as we do so. Eventually one of us runs out of treasure and the other is the winner (having completed the count, of course).
The verdict from Miss B (aged 4¼ and a bit): "I liked it. It was gooder than the others. Because it was good when we took things and then stole them back." I think we may need to have a discussion about property and theft.
The game: Highwayman (Ravensburger), 2 to 6 players, age 6+.
Well, Mummy was willing to give it a go, so off we went with three players this time. Miss B thoroughly enjoyed dividing up the people and explaining the game to Mummy (missing out only the rules!) and soon we were playing. As is inevitable, Hugo got to move a lot more between our turns and Miss B was getting really excited as people got caught and sent downstairs. This one is definitely cemented as a favourite, but I think it'll be a little while before we introduce the proper scoring. More positives: Miss B wasn't losing track of which colour her pieces were this time, and the whole moving clockwise thing was pretty well bedded in.
The verdict from Miss B (aged 4¼): "Good. I liked that we all played together and I won." Yeah, don't rub it in, kid, you just had some lucky rolls. It seems that the social aspect is pretty important though, with all of us playing being a major selling point.
The game: Ghost Party (Ravensberger), 2 to 8 players, age 8+.
Our version is called Ghost Party, but other folks have Midnight Party. It's all the same, give or take a rebranding or two. Either way this used to be a popular little game towards the end of a long evening of gaming, or as an intermission between a couple of more serious games. One of those "not just for kids" things. There are a few like that in the Ravensberger range.
We simplified the game a little by not requiring exact numbers to enter the "bonus" rooms and simply not bothering with the scoring: the winner was the person with the least people captured by Hugo. Two rounds of this and we won one each, which seems fair.
As expected, the major exciting points of the game were when Hugo moved and grobbled people. In our second game, we went a very long time before Hugo even progressed from the bottom step and Miss B theorised that he was having a rest. So we made our people walk past the top of the stairs taunting him, "Nur nur, you can't catch us!" That seemed to do the trick. For some reason Miss B also kept forgetting which colour people she was playing, and occasionally we had space counting issues, but otherwise it all went fairly smoothly. I think, however, this would have been a lot more fun with more than just the two of us. Next time we will rope in Mummy.
The verdict from Miss B (aged 4¼): "I liked it because I loved the bit with people chasing around. I liked the bit when Hugo getted my four blue ones." Rose tinted hindsight there — there were almost tears at the time!

Sergio Aguero agrees Manchester City contract extension - Pep Guardiola
MANCHESTER, England -- Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero is set to sign a contract extension.
The Argentine striker has agreed to extend his current deal one year to keep him at the club until 2020, a source told ESPN FC.
Guardiola said he expected a deal to to be officially announced by the club.
"I don't know if I am the right person to talk about that but I think he is going to extend the contract, but it is not official," he told a news conference. "I am not the right person, I don't know if it is definitely going to happen. That's all.
"I think he is a good player. I think there are players you want to stay and still they have the patience to play in this club. So, we cannot discuss about his quality. If he stays I will be so, so happy."
Aguero, 28, had said he would rejoin his first club Independiente at the end of his current deal in 2019. However, the Argentine will remain at the Etihad for a further year, and a source said the extension was agreed in principle in January.
Aguero has started this season in fantastic form, scoring nine goals in five games, including two hat tricks in the Champions League already, and he said he expects to score even more goals under new City boss Pep Guardiola amid the side's perfect start to the season.
"I'm really happy with the new manager," he told reporters after City's 4-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday night.
"According to my style of playing, he is one of the managers that have helped me most in my career. Despite [my form] in the Premier League, and my last season at Atletico, I've improved in my game near the box and scoring goals. With Pep I will get even more chances.
"I'm really happy with the way we have started the season. It's always important to start playing good at home."
Aguero, who joined City from Atletico Madrid in 2011 for £38 million, has scored 145 goals in 213 appearances for City.
He has scored more times in the Premier League than any City player and needs another 34 goals to become the club's greatest-ever goal scorer by overtaking Eric Brook, who scored 178 in the 1920s and 1930s.
Aguero became the youngest player in the history of the Argentine top flight when he made his Independiente debut in 2003 at just 15. He scored 23 goals in 56 games for them before moving on to Atletico in 2006.

The Ontomorphic Quantum Processor
by admin | Oct 3, 2019 | Blog |
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
William Shakespeare, The Tempest
I present to you the Ontomorphic Quantum Processor – a beauty that came to me in a dream.
Sometime in the future
Imagine a scene out of the 2004 science-fiction action film I, Robot. Four men skilled in combat, myself included, were battling a humanoid robot in a tiny, claustrophobic room. We had trouble subduing it. The robot was nearly as quick as us – but it seemed invulnerable, with a tough composite alloy body. It fought in a windmill style, swinging its arms- metal arms that could cause serious damage to flesh and bone – in circles while rushing at us. There were no weaknesses we could exploit. It did not register pain and attacking it was like striking a lamp post.
The robot was state-of-the-art – more advanced than anything I've encountered in my dreams. It could process multiple assailants via its visual feed and anticipate attack vectors before we made our moves, compensating for its slower artificial muscle actuators.
I postulated that its processor is unlike anything humans have constructed. It likely created a real-time 3D response map and simulated every possible scenario and angle of attack from aggressors, while learning and analyzing fight patterns – think Ironman's AI analyzing Captain America's movements and countering them (in the Marvel Universe). Only our numerical superiority and teamwork finally brought down this robotic destroyer.
We removed the robot's chest plate and, through a maze of wiring, found a cryogenic containment system. Why would a robot need a cryogenic system? One of my companions vented liquid helium from the vacutainer, nearly cold-burning his finger in the process. He released the inner pressure seal and that was when we witnessed this most advanced processor.
I consider myself relatively knowledgeable in the field of technology and we had a tech-wizard on the team who could lingo-speak with Tony Stark any day. The technology in front of us was generations ahead of anything we had faced and, given the paraphernalia required to run the processor, it became obvious what we had on our hands.
How a brain works
Our brains comprise neurons connected by dendritic synapses. Signals are first created from a neuron, known as an action potential, which is an electric signal created from chemical charge carriers known as ions. This electrochemical charge is then transferred via ions and neurotransmitters from one neuron to another. More details on the process are described here.
Computer processors work similarly. Almost every processor in use today is based on the manipulation of electrons – hence the term "electronics". All information technology we have today follows the basic principle of sending electrons where we want them to go.
Batteries store electrons, transistors funnel and direct electrons, LEDs convert electrons to photons and, on a larger scale, integrated circuits are a bunch of transistors and switches turning on and off depending on how or where we want the electrons to go to.
Our brains process and store information via electrical signals, very similar to how computers do it. The only difference is we use neurons and computer processors, transistors. The problem with today's processors is that you can cram only so many transistors into a piece of silicon.
Eventually, traditional transistor-based processors encounter heat and electron-leakage problems.
The future needs a futuristic processor.
Robotic brains in science-fiction
Science-fiction abounds with the fantastic imagination of writers. The droids in I, Robot and the Star Wars film franchise are built with "positronic brains", while the killer robots in the Terminator film franchise use "neural net CPUs".
Since a positron or antielectron is the antiparticle or the antimatter counterpart of the electron, I don't think it's implausible to have a positronic processor as the manipulation of positrons could yield superior processing power. Positrons are subatomic particles that have the same mass as an electron, but a positive instead of a negative charge. When these two particles encounter each other, they annihilate and produce two or three gamma-ray photons, (high-energy light) in an event referred to as electron-positron annihilation.
I've yet to see scientific evidence of how a positron manipulation is possible today and the most advanced scientific research into positrons are the creation and study of positrons. So, a positronic brain is still in the realm of science-fiction.
Now, the neural net CPU in the Terminator franchise is described to be based on quantum effect chips. Quantum computers are no longer the stuff of science-fiction and are even commercially available from Google and IBM.
Today's quantum computer systems are in their infancy and fraught with engineering challenges. They are almost comparable to the first integrated circuit released in 1958. Over the last six decades, the first integrated circuit has now become a supercomputing device that fits in our palm – what we now know as a smartphone. Imagine going back in time and showing someone from the 1960s the capabilities of your smartphone. That piece of glass and metal in your hands would be considered magic. The technology required to create a smartphone would have been unfathomable then.
Ontomorphic quantum processor
Some 40 years into the future, the Ontomorphic Quantum Processor, which we dug out of the robot, is a self-learning quantum processor that does not need to be chilled to absolute zero to maintain quantum states. It is based on known science but is still beyond the capabilities of technology now.
The processor's four interior walls contain four silicene/graphene-based quantum nano-electronic circuit boards. The circuits are then connected via what I call the electro-optic lattice. The lattice structure comprises optical and electrical conducting strings. The optical conductors transmit information photons of light via optical fibers made from yttrium aluminum garnet or sapphire crystals. The electrical wires are made from multi-wall carbon nanotubes that are superconducting in the cryogenic socket.
Four quantum circuits are enclosed by a large quantum memory crystal based on a diamond. This diamond-based quantum memory stores quantum information that is transmitted across the lattice via photons. If you compare it with today's conventional processors, you could call this a quad-core CPU with shared memory, something already present in graphic processing units.
The lattice acts like a neural network, shoving light-signals where they need to go at near-light speed, and changes depending on the information being processed, which brings about its "learning capabilities" or the ontomorphic portion of this processor.
Wait… what?
Ontomorphic?
The word ontomorphic does not exist, but ontogeny refers to the inception and lifelong development of an organism physically and psychologically to its eventual maturity and subsequent senescence. I use this word because our human learning capabilities come from our interaction with our environment and experiences throughout our lives.
When one learns to perform a task, like ride a bicycle, do a cartwheel or master a new language, one is often awkward, clumsy and inefficient. But over time and practice, the brain forms new synaptic connections to streamline the knowledge.
One gets better, more efficient. That is the formation of new neural pathways in the brain, but the total number of neurons remains relatively the same.
This is the same for the Ontomorphic Quantum Processor. The number of quantum gates is limited by the initial design and construction of the processor, but the electrooptic lattice allows signals to be routed more efficiently over time. A simple example could be: "How can we arrive at 100 from 0?"
A child could start with 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1… till he reaches 100. For this to happen, the child needs to understand the concept of numbers and the arithmetic function of addition. He would eventually arrive at the number 100. A triple-digit constant. Great!
Could this be done more effectively? A child introduced to the multiplication function could attempt a more efficient approach: 10 x 10 = 100. Even better. But now, the child needs to commit to memory what multiplication does and the tables associated with it.
All this assumes that no errors occur in the process, which is almost impossible. Which is where I come to the morphic capabilities of the
Ontomorphic Quantum Processor.
Learning and evolving from error
What is often referred to today as evolutionary or mutation computation is essentially a computer attempting a trial-and-error process to determine the most efficient and optimal solution. There will come a point where memorizing the entire multiplication tables will take too much memory to be viable or useful to the individual. What's 5424 x 2413?
Yes, one could learn novel arithmetic to compute that mentally, but most adults will reach for a calculator. The process is comparable to determining that there's a shortcut through an alley on your way home or discovering that a button on the photocopying machine scans a two-page document in half the time.
Evolution computation has been used to design more efficient antennas [12] and chairs, often exceeding what humans can envision manually. The ontomorphic capabilities of the Ontomorphic Quantum Processor come from the new junctions and spin-spin interactions from the electrooptical lattice, known today as neural networks [13], but much more advanced and far faster at near-lightspeed interaction.
This processor learns and becomes better at what it's instructed to do.
Quantum computer
The primary principle of the Ontomorphic Quantum Processor is quantum logic [1], using quantum-mechanical superposition and/or entanglement to perform computation functions. Quantum computers are vastly different from traditional computers in that they use quantum logic gates and qubits and have the potential to compute complete equations hundreds of millions of times better than a traditional computer. In that perspective, today's most advanced transistor-based processors would look like an abacus beside a quantum computer system.
Silicene/graphene nanoelectronic board
Quantum logic gates are delicate structures and traditional printed circuit boards aren't going to cut it. So silicene/graphene-based boards are required [2] as a foundation for the nano-electronic circuits that contain billions of quantum gates [3]. Silicene is an allotrope of silicon, much like graphene is an allotrope of carbon. Both have hexagonal honeycomb structures and exhibit remarkable properties of electrical conductivity and functionalization Silicene would provide the base for traditional transistor construction with its band-gap tunability and stronger spin–orbit coupling which is important to maintain the Quantum spin Hall effect. It's as small as it gets – atomic-level transistors.
Graphene will be utilized as the circuit foundation, for it is better at conducting electricity than copper, which makes it ideal for ultra-fast circuits [4]. Moreover, graphene's photovoltaic effect has been shown to conduct electricity after absorbing light [5]. These two incredible properties of graphene mean optoelectrical signals can be transferred from quantum gate to quantum gate at ultra-fast near-lightspeeds [6].
The silicene/graphene nanoelectronic board will contain all the quantum gates and convert the signals and information from light to electricity and vice versa.
Quantum memory diamonds
As you can imagine, you probably can't use traditional memory to store quantum information. Diamonds being used as quantum memory is a recent development [7-11]. Normally, a diamond is composed of only carbon atoms in a tetrahedral structure. Introducing a nitrogen atom into the structure instead of carbon and specific sites leaves a hole or vacancy in the crystal lattice. The nitrogen atom and the empty site can accept different quantum states and are used to store a quantum bit of information [11].
Diamond is an ideal material for quantum memory as the crystalline structure achieves strong coupling between phonons and vacancy spins which can be stored or read from as pulses of light, known as phonon-mediated quantum photonics [7, 8].
The probable reason why the diamond is arranged in such a way is to allow for shared-memory and faster access to memory from one nanoelectronic circuit board to another. Plus, diamond is an excellent heat conductor because of the strong covalent bonding and low photon scattering. Thermal conductivity of natural diamond is measured to be about 2200W/(m.K), five times more than silver, the most thermally conductive metal. This allows the whole processor to be effectively cooled to just above absolute zero to reduce quantum errors.
Computers have come a long way since 1960 and will continue to go further. Historically, there is an incredible breakthrough every century with major advancements in technology, from the bronze and iron ages to modern industrial, atomic and space ages.
Today, we are at the forefront of the information age that is seeing no sign of stagnating, and systems are already incredibly impressive. Isaac Asimov's robot science-fiction novels have captured the imaginations of many and many of his stories have become fact in recent years.
2060 will mark one century of computing progress and possibly the quantum age of mankind. Hopefully, I will live long enough to see it.
The performance of the Ontomorphic Quantum Processor will be unlike anything we can imagine today. It would perform more accurately and incredibly faster than any human can. That's gonna rattle some cages.
Imagine seeing one firsthand. Now that will be exciting.

Les cendres volcaniques retardent l'aide aux Tonga alors que des rapports de dommages émergent
Thick ash on an airport runway was delaying aid deliveries to the Pacific island nation of Tonga, where significant damage was being reported days after a huge undersea volcanic eruption and tsunami
Thick ash on an airport runway was delaying aid deliveries to the Pacifique island nation of Tonga where significant damage was being reported days after a huge undersea volcanic eruption and tsunami.
New Zealand's military is sending much-needed drinking water and other supplies, but said the ash on the runway will delay the flight at least a day. A towering ash cloud since Saturday's eruption had prevented earlier flights. New Zealand is also sending two navy ships to Tonga that will leave Tuesday and pledged an initial 1 million New Zealand dollars ($680,000) toward recovery efforts.
Communications with Tonga have been extremely limited, but New Zealand and Australia sent military surveillance flights to assess the damage on Monday.
U.N. humanitarian officials and Tonga's government "report significant infrastructural damage around Tongatapu," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
"There has been no contact from the Ha'apai Group of islands, and we are particularly concerned about two small low-lying islands — Mango and Fonoi — following surveillance flights confirming substantial property damage," Dujarric said.

New Zealand's High Commission in Tonga also reported "significant damage" along the western coast of the main island of Tongatapu, including to resorts and along the waterfront area.
Satellite images captured the spectacular eruption, with a plume of ash, steam and gas rising like a giant mushroom above the Pacifique Sud Tsunami waves of about 80 centimètres (2.7 pieds) crashed into Tonga's shoreline, and crossed the Pacific, causing minor damage from New Zealand to Santa Cruz, Californie. The eruption set off a sonic boom that could be heard as far away as Alaska.
Two people drowned in Peru, which also reported an oil spill after waves moved a ship that was transferring oil at a refinery.
New Zealand's Acting High Commissioner for Tonga, Peter Lund, said there were unconfirmed reports of up to three fatalities on Tonga so far.
One death has been confirmed by family: British woman Angela Glover, 50, who was swept away by a wave.
Nick Eleini said his sister's body had been found and that her husband survived. "I understand that this terrible accident came about as they tried to rescue their dogs," Eleini told Sky News. He said it had been his sister's life dream" to live in the South Pacific and "she loved her life there."
The explosion of the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai volcano, à propos de 64 kilomètres (40 milles) north of Nuku'alofa, was the latest in a series of dramatic eruptions. In late 2014 and early 2015, eruptions created a small new island and disrupted air travel to the Pacific archipelago.
Earth imaging company Planet Labs PBC had watched the island after a new vent began erupting in late December. Satellite images showed how drastically the volcano had shaped the area, creating a growing island off Tonga.
The U.N. World Food Program is exploring how to bring in relief supplies and more staff and has received a request to restore communication lines in Tonga, Dujarric said.
One complicating factor is that Tonga has managed to avoid outbreaks of COVID-19. New Zealand said its military staff were vaccinated and willing to follow Tonga's protocols.
New Zealand's military said it hoped the airfield in Tonga would be opened either Wednesday or Thursday. The military said it had considered an airdrop but that was "not the preference of the Tongan authorities."
Communications with the island nation is limited because the single underwater fiber-optic cable that connects Tonga to the rest of the world was likely severed in the eruption. The company that owns the cable and repairs could take weeks.
Samiuela Fonua, who chairs the board at Tonga Cable Ltd., said the cable appeared to have been severed about 10 à 15 minutes after the eruption. He said the cable lies atop and within coral reef, which can be sharp.
Fonua said a ship would need to pull up the cable to assess the damage and then crews would need to fix it. A single break might take a week to repair, il a dit, while multiple breaks could take up to three weeks. He added that it was unclear yet when it would be safe for a ship to venture near the undersea volcano to undertake the work.
A second undersea cable that connects the islands within Tonga also appeared to have been severed, Fonua said. pourtant, a local phone network was working, allowing Tongans to call each other. But he said the lingering ash cloud was continuing to make even satellite phone calls abroad difficult.

Q: Factorization of GCD I'm working on a question about factorization of a GCD.
Let x = p$^{n1}_1$ ... p$^{nk}_k$
Is it correct to answer this with: p$^{n1}_1$ + $^{m1}_1$ ... p$^{nk}_k$ + $^{mk}_k$ ?
A: No, try $x=12=2^2\cdot 3^1 \cdot 5^0, y=1350=2^1\cdot 3^3 \cdot 5^2$. The GCD is not $2^3\cdot 3^4 \cdot 5^2=16200$ For a common divisor, you need the minimum of the exponents.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will almost certainly be looking to draft a running back later this month in NFL draft and Tony Pauline reports Wednesday on Twitter that UCLA running back Johnathan Franklin will be making a pre draft visit to Pittsburgh on Thursday.
In his four years at UCLA, Franklin rushed for 4,403 yards on 788 carries and had 31 touchdowns. He also recorded 58 catches for another 517 yards and 3 touchdowns in addition.
At the NFL combine last month, Franklin measured in at 5100 and 205 pounds. He ran 4.46 forty yard dash, a 4.31 short shuttle, and a 6.89 three cone drill. He also posted a 31.5″ vertical and a 9\'07" broad jump.
Franklin is considered a one-cut running back with great vision that is expected to be drafted in either the second or third round. Right now he is not considered to be an every down back, but more of a compliment back while he refines his pass protection and other areas of his game.
Besides Franklin, the Steelers have already brought in Texas A&M running back Christine Michael for a pre draft visit, and more are expected prior to the draft. | {

"We choose to go in the space in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." J.F. Kennedy
The project is the proposal for a monument to be installed at the Kennedy Space Center in Houston to honor the memory of the seven astronauts who lost their lives in the Columbia Shuttle tragedy on February 1, 2003 during its return to Earth. Intended to move slowly with the wind, carbon fiber rods fitted at the top with mirrors and dichroic glass that rotate, multiply the reflections of light from the Sun and the Moon.

The biggest hurdle to this is being an adult. As an adult we are no longer used to not being able to do things. We have finished school, we have degrees, we have experience, much of which is transferable from one field of endeavour to another.
This response hides a profound and hidden arrogance. What this response claims is that, if I had talent I would immediately produce good, worthy, financially viable creative works. Because I am an adult, I am a professional, I have experience." This is tantamount to walking onto a football field as a 35 or 40 year old and expecting to be able to play for your national side. It is fundamentally unrealistic. But as adults this is how we react to our own creative endeavours.
It is true that some of your adulthood WILL be helpful in this push. Ones experience, wisdom, observation and flexibility will help you grow faster than if you were a child. But you are still going to start at a level below that which you might expect. Accept this firstly.
Accepting this means that one has to put in the time to 'get fit.' Most artists express themselves without seeming effort when they write, paint, draw or play music. This may be because they are naturally gifted. But it is also because their creative muscles are well trained. They have been doing this for years. Their motor muscles can complete these tasks without thought while the mind is engaged with higher concepts.
To get to this place of unthinking muscle control, you need to put in hours of practice. Like golf pro working on their swing. This means a daily ritual of writing, drawing, singing, playing an instrument or what have you. Only after you have done this for more than 2 years can you say whether you are actually capable of being creative or not. You need to acquire the gross physical skills to unleash your creativity effectively.
During this time you need to be kind to yourself. You need to switch off that very adult expectation and the judgements and criticisms that come with it. You need to remind yourself that you are doing this not for the results, but for the joy of the thing itself. Most importantly, that by doing so you are releasing a part of yourself from its cage and becoming more you every time you improve these skills. You are changing the world, one small step at a time, every single day.
It will be very hard to acquire these skills if your sole motivation is financial. It takes time, there is no fast return. It is better if you are doing it for love of the craft, the thing itself. Then the financial rewards do not matter and they should not. A fulfilled life is better than a wealthy one. You can never lose fulfilment.
Make this creative discipline your every day routine. Let it be your meditation, your outlet, your dirty little secret, your own private intimacy with the world around you. Do not dread it nor put it off. Embrace it. Let yourself get better. Don't freak out on the days when you don't. It's not a continuous upward graph. But above all else, most of all, just do it. I know, I hate the fact that they use that as their slogan. But it is a universal truism: JUST DO IT. | {

Donkin on Work - Boardroom Issues
November 2003 - Boardroom composition
There was a time, not so long ago, when a non-executive job on a top board, beyond that of the chairman, was regarded as a cushy number. If you felt conscientious, you could look at the minutes the night before the meeting, mark a few points, then ask the occasional studied question the next day. Or you could settle for sporadic innocuous interventions, ensuring that your name went on the record by seconding any resolutions.
That way you could survive your various boardroom tenures in the knowledge that you would be recognised as a "good sort" who would lend moral support to the chairman and would not rock the boat in meetings. Executives tended to like this gentle approach, since it allowed them to get on with running the business as they saw fit.
The relationship of the board to the executive was rather like that of the House of Lords to parliament. Excessive intervention by peers is rarely welcomed but a degree of wise counsel is regarded as healthy in the government of an inclusive, democratic society.
But the corporate sector is not yet convinced of the merits of democracy. Business still prefers a military-style approach to growth, expanding empires through acquisition and beating the opposition at every opportunity. It likes a single identifiable leader: a general.
How many existing bosses, I wonder, would sympathise with the remarks of the Duke of Wellington after holding his first cabinet meeting as prime minister? "An extraordinary affair," said the duke. "I gave them their orders and they wanted to stay and discuss them."
Organisationally, most companies remain conservative. In spite of the collapse of Enron, in spite of Sarbanes-Oxley, in spite of the Higgs report and all the increasing powers and capacities of shareholders, companies retain a suspicion, bordering on cynicism, of radical boardroom change. For "radical" here, read "any".
In some respects I side with the cynics. Why shouldn't Barclays Bank appoint Matthew Barratt, its chief executive, as chairman, or J. Sainsbury do the same with Sir Peter Davis, its own chief executive? They are immensely capable individuals whose valuable operational knowledge would be lost to their respective companies. If they were trusted enough to run these companies, why can they not be trusted to oversee the work of their successors?
You could see the persistence of such sympathies in the resistance of the Carlton board when faced with a shareholder revolt against its decision to make Michael Green, its chairman, the chairman-designate of a merged Carlton and Granada. In taking their stance, the board might have felt emboldened by another of Wellington's observations - of the French at Waterloo: "They came on in the same old way and we sent them back in the same old way." Only it did not go according to form. It was the Carlton board that met its Waterloo. The shareholders won the day and we have yet to discover the cost.
Both the rules and the practice of governance are changing so markedly that boards today face competing tensions between their traditional supportive role and the scrutineering expectations of governance. Compounding these tensions is the presence of further scrutiny from shareholder bodies.
These developments are bound to change the composition and behaviour of boards. In future we may expect less rubber-stamping and a more questioning attitude - which is exactly what Derek Higgs was seeking in his proposed reforms, most of which were adopted this week in the Financial Reporting Council's combined code on corporate governance.
But will this lead to greater transparency of behaviour? Canny board members in a post-Enron world will be as attuned to the new demands as they were to the clubbable behaviour of the past. Studied questions may be supplanted by studied criticism - possibly the best ploy for boosting your personal profile in a governance-obsessed world.
Will companies be better run in future? The duties, numbers and cost of non-executives are going to increase. Non-executives will need to know their part-time companies in the kind of detail that militates against membership of too many boards. In a world where ignorance of malfeasance is not so much a defence than a sign of negligence and incompetence, no one wants to be held liable for fraud or corporate failure. Unfortunately this all spells more work for executives who would rather be running the business.
Worries about increased liability explains why Korn Ferry International's latest annual board directors study found that 23 per cent of directors surveyed in North America had turned down additional board positions in 2002, compared with 13 per cent the previous year. The findings of the study, based on responses from 1,362 directors of Fortune 1000 companies in 15 countries, suggest the days of collecting board positions as if they were scout badges appear to be over.
The Korn Ferry study, combined with the more onerous demands on non-executives, might lead us to conclude that non-executive posts on the boards of public companies are becoming less desirable. Not a bit of it, says Miles Broadbent, head of the Miles Partnership, the London-based headhunting firm.
"It's complete nonsense that people are reluctant to take on non-executive posts. I'm finding that people are still very keen to do this work," he says. "I have only ever had one person turn me down because of fears of liability. Most chief executives of plcs want to be on at least one other board. It's an important addition to their CVs."
Much of the demand for non-executives, he says, is among companies keen to broaden the composition of their boards. This is leading to increasing opportunities for women. In the past 12 months, his non-executive placements included Stella David, managing director of Bacardi-Martini UK on the board of Nationwide Building Society; Ana Maria Llopis, the Venezuelan-born executive vice-president of Indra, the Spanish information technology company on the board of BAT; Mary-Teresa Rainey, joint chief executive of Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Young & Rubicam, the advertising agency, at WH Smith; and Clare Chapman, human resources director of Tesco, on the board of First Choice Holidays.
These appointments suggest that large boards are becoming sold on the idea of diversity. The next stage is to broaden their recruiting to include more "non-corporates" with public sector and professional backgrounds. If headhunters are reluctant to search in these areas, companies should copy the public sector and advertise their non-executive posts. That would make a change. | {

By Marjorie Cohen
In 1991, Scott Metzner was working on developing affordable housing on Amsterdam Avenue north of 125th Street, and that's when his interest in and enthusiasm for the neighborhood of Manhattanville/West Harlem took hold. What had once been an energetic industrial area humming with activity from prosperous breweries and factories had fallen on hard times. By the end of the 20th century, abandoned buildings with boarded-up windows, crumbling bricks, and missing rooftops were all that was left of a once-prosperous commercial district.

Work is underway at the old Taystee Bakery Factory site in Harlem, and developer Janus Properties is trying to lure tenants to the site with a new batch of renderings and an informational website.

Introduction to "Avant-Garde Film"
Scott MacDonald
From Avant-Garde Film (Cambridge University Press, 1993)
The mainstream cinema (and its sibling television) is so fundamental a part of our public and private experiences, that even when filmmakers produce and exhibit alternative cinematic forms, the dominant cinema is implied by the alternatives. If one considers what has come to be called avant-garde film from the point of view of the audience, one confronts an obvious fact.
No one - or certainly, almost no one - sees avant-garde films without first having seen mass-market commercial films. In fact, by the time most people see their first avant-garde film, they have already seen hundreds of films in commercial theaters and on television, and their sense of what a movie is has been almost indelibly imprinted in their conscious and unconscious minds by their training as children (we learn to appreciate the various forms of popular cinema from our parents, older siblings, and friends) and by the continual reconfirmation of this training during adolescence and adulthood. The earliest most people come in contact with an avant-garde film of any type is probably the mid-to-late teen years (for many people the experience comes later, if at all). The result is that whatever particular manipulations of imagery, sound, and time define these first avant-garde film experiences as alternatives to the commercial cinema are recognizable only because of the conventionalized context viewers have already developed.
Generally, the first response generated by an avant-garde film is, "This isn't a movie," or the more combative, "You call this a movie!?" Even the rare, responsive viewer almost inevitably finds the film - whatever its actual length in minutes "too long." By the time we see our first avant-garde films, we think we know what movies are, we recognize what "everyone" agrees they should be; and we see the new cinematic failures-to-conform as presumptuous refusals to use the cinematic space (the theater, the VCR viewing room) "correctly." If we look carefully at this response, however (here I speak from personal experience, and on the basis of more than twenty years of observing students dealing with their first avant-garde films), we recognize that the obvious anger and frustration are a function of the fact that these films confront us with the necessity of redefining an experience we were sure we understood. We may feel we know that these avant-garde films are not movies, but what are they? We see them in a theater; they're projected by movie projectors, just as conventional movies are... we can see that they are movies, even if we "know" they're not. The experience provides us with the opportunity (an opportunity much of our training has taught us to resist) to come to a clearer, more complete understanding of what the cinematic experience actually can be, and what - for all the pleasure and inspiration it may give us - the conventional movie experience is not.
These first avant-garde films, in other words, can catalyze what I would like to call our first fully critical response to a set of experiences our culture has trained us to enjoy, primarily as a process of unquestioning consumption. I say "fully critical" because the sort of film-critical process I'm describing actually begins the moment we see any form of film that we cannot immediately recognize as a movie, given our previous training. For the generation coming of age in the 1960s, this process often began with foreign commercial features, by Fellini, Bergman, Bufluel, Kurosawa, that did not conform to the expectations we had developed watching Hollywood films. For most people, however, avant-garde films are so entirely unlike "real movies" that they demand a full-scale revaluation of our cinematic preconceptions; they are closer to being "purely" critical.
Obviously, not everyone who has a first experience with an avant-garde film uses the experience as a means of catalyzing thought about Cinema, but for some people, the experience leads them to an extended critique of conventional movie experiences and an awareness that avant-garde film is an ongoing history which has been providing critical alternatives to the mass-market cinema for more than seventy-five years.
The first substantial flowering of avant-garde cinema occurred during the 1920S in Western Europe, most notably in France and Germany, and in the post-revolutionary Soviet Union. In Germany and France, the cinematic apparatus was seen as a tool with which artists working in the fine arts could expand their repertoire, and, by doing so, attract more of the public than visited art galleries and salons. Indeed, film-going was becoming so popular among members of all social classes that artists could hope that the expanding audience might embrace visual critique of convention as well as convention itself. The first film Avant-Garde fueled at least two different critical responses to the mass commercial cinema. Not surprisingly, these responses parallel two of the more salient tendencies in the fine arts during the first decades of this century: abstraction and surrealism. Both tendencies resulted in films that were memorable enough to continue to inspire and inform critical filmmaking in Western Europe, North America, Japan, and elsewhere.
One group of filmmakers questioned the commercial cinema's failure to minister directly to spiritual needs in the way music often does and abstract painting was attempting to do. Hans Richter, in Rhythmus 21 (192.1) and Rhythmus 23 (19234); Oskar Fischinger, in his Wax Experiments (19216), R-i. Em Formspiel ("R-i. A form play," c. 1927), and Spirals (c. 1926); Walter Ruttmann, in Opus No. 2 (1922), Opus No. 3 (1923), and Opus No. 4 (1923); and Viking Eggeling, in Diagonale Symphonie (1924), focused viewers' attention on shape, motion, rhythm, chiaroscuro, and color, in the hope they could touch the spirit more directly than conventional filmmakers did. Related were Dudley Murphy's Ballet mechanique (made in 1924 with Fernand Leger and Man Ray), Marcel Duchamp's Anemic cinema (1926), Henri Chomette's Jeux des reflets et de la vitesse ("Plays of Reflections and Speed," 1925), and Germaine Dulac's Disque 957 (1929), all of which foreswore most of the elements of conventional narrative cinema and foregrounded abstract imagery and rhythms.
The second set of film-critical responses came at the hands of the surrealists. Using elements of plot, character, and location moviegoers could be expected to recognize, these filmmakers relentlessly undercut the expectations their inclusion of these elements inevitably created, in the hope of depicting and affecting layers of the conscious and unconscious mind too problematic for the commercial cinema. Rene Clair's Entr'acte (1924), Man Ray's L'Etoile de mer ("Starfish," 1928), and Luis Bu–uel and Salvador Dali's Un Chien andalou ("An Andalusian Dog," 1929) continually confront one of the central assumptions of conventional cinema: the idea that the individual personality and social and political relations among individuals are basically rational and understandable. These filmmakers were at pains to shatter the complacency created by this assumption. Indeed, since the contemporary mass-market cinema continues to confirm such complacency, most audiences find these particular films - and especially Un Chien andalou - as unusual now as when they were made.
In the Soviet Union, the revolution produced a cinema that mounted a direct attack on the mass-entertainment film industry, particularly its function as propagandist for capitalism and the political systems that support it - from a position outside capitalist culture. The major films of Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, and Vertov combined overt political content and experimental form into impassioned critiques of social conditions and polemics for a more humane political system. Like the films of the first Avant-Garde, the Soviet films may never have been seen by the mass viewing public in the West, but they inspired generations of filmmakers, exhibitors, and viewers, and remain formative influences in various sectors of contemporary cultural life. In Depression America in particular, the result was a Soviet-inspired school of experimental narrative and documentary, perhaps the first American alternative cinema movement.
After World War II, technological and esthetic developments catalyzed a major flowering of avant-garde cinema in the United States. The increasing availability of less-expensive r6mm motion picture cameras and projectors made the production and exhibition of alternative forms of film economically feasible, and it facilitated the development of a broader range of production systems: the less-expensive equipment was accessible to individuals and small groups who might not have found their way into filmmaking otherwise. The smaller gauge also revived the film society movement, which had enlivened the film scene throughout Western Europe in the 19Z05 and 1930s, offering audiences a broader range of critical alternatives to the economically dominant Hollywood industry. Film societies had been only marginally successful in the United States, largely because of the economic and social power of Hollywood.' The availability of i6mm equipment made possible Amos Vogel's Cinema 16 in New York and the nationwide network of film societies it instigated.4
The increasingly prolific American alternative film scene took strength from the new prestige of the visual arts, especially in New York. The emergence of the New York School of painting and of generally related developments in experimental music (the increasing prestige and influence of jazz and of John Cage, for example), literature (the New Novel in France, Beat poetry in the United States), and the other arts not only suggested approaches useful to filmmakers looking to provide audiences with alternatives to Hollywood (the gestural emphasis of much abstract expressionist painting, for example, helped to inspire gestural camerawork that tended to give "headaches" to filmgoers weaned on Hollywood movies), it polemicized the excitement of individual self-expression. The motion picture camera offered a way of extending the New York School's commitment to the importance of individual vision (a commitment evident, for instance, in their large-scale canvases), both literally, since the movie screen is a "canvas" of considerable size, and in terms of audience: filmmakers could hope that because of the massive popularity and prestige of the commercial cinema, film-critical alternatives to Hollywood might be of widespread interest. screening rooms. These new interests affected film viewers and filmmakers, many of whom studied or taught film in academic contexts. Some of these filmmakers were interested in developing more sustained and systematic critiques of conventional film and television narrative entertainment, and especially in responding to the tendency toward overconsumption marketed by television advertising and confirmed by the visual/auditory overload of a good many alternative films of the 196os. For them, re-attention to cinema's beginnings became a particular source of inspiration. Since modern cinema had supposedly become what it was by leaving the discoveries of the early cinema pioneers behind, filmmakers began to return to these "primitives" to see if what conventional film history had defined as primitive was really a set of less marketable, but still useful alternatives. After all, many of those who were seeing their first avant-garde films in the 196os, and who were not tuning into them, tended to call the avant-garde films "primitive." Perhaps there was a relationship between what the first pioneers had done, and what the avant-garde "pioneers" were doing.
Avant-garde filmmakers did, indeed, find a resource in what had been called primitive cinema. In some cases, their excitement about what they discovered blinded them to the commercial realities of the early days, but this excitement, whether they explored it directly or whether it formed part of a more general environment that had an indirect impact on them, helped to fuel the approaches that are the subject of this volume. For our purposes here, these approaches can be roughly identified with Eadweard Muybridge and the Lumire brothers.
In film historical circles, Muybridge is known for his discovery that motion can be photographically analyzed into component parts and for his construction of the Zoopraxiscope, the combination of the technologies of animation and projection he used to demonstrate that if he resynthesized the various stages of particular motions, he could create the illusion of the original motion the still images represented. Muybridge's extensive "motion studies" have been seen as an important stage in the move from the animation of drawings, which characterized the popular "philosophic toys" of the nineteenth century (the Phenakistascope, the Zoetrope), to the printing of photographs of stages of motion on strips of celluloid; and the Zoopraxiscope is usually considered an important early stage of the movie projector.
The aspect of Muybridge's work that is most interesting for the films I'll be discussing in this volume, however, has to do with the information he used his technology to discover, and the way in which this information was presented. In order to document his motion studies so that viewers would be able to measure the type and amount of motion accomplished during any fraction of a second by one of the humans or animals he photographed, Muybridge mounted a linear grid behind his subjects. And in order to make possible the precise comparison of one phase of a given motion to another phase, he mounted the photographs of particular phases of motion, recorded at evenly spaced intervals of time, in a grid. (Often a given motion was photographed from multiple camera angles; phases of the motion, taken from the various angles, were mounted on grids within a single frame: This way the differences in a particular movement evident from differing angles could be explored.) In other words, Muybridge's motion photographs are sets of grids within grids - and indeed his entire ongoing exploration of the human figure and of animals in motion is a kind of grid, since Muybridge's approach remained the same, subject after subject. Of course, these grids prefigure the essential grid of the filmstrip!
Regardless of how much Muybridge, or anyone else, actually studied the motion recorded in the motion photographs - his central compulsion seems to have been the recording of information rather than the detailed examination of it his use of a consistently serial organization of both space and time found its way into the works of avant-garde filmmakers interested in studying film's historical origins and the fundamentals of its technology. The way was smoothed by the fact that during the mid-196os many painters, sculptors, and musicians were exploring serial organizations of imagery as a means of avoiding conventional, traditionally hierarchical arrangements of material, space, and time. A good many filmmakers, including all those whose work is the focus of subsequent chapters, have used serial organizations as a means of revealing how things move. In some cases, this interest in serial organization has resulted in films made in conscious homage to Muybridge: Instances include Morgan Fisher's Documentary Footage (1968, discussed briefly in the Fisher chapter of Part i), Robert Huot's Turning Torso Drawdown (ii), Hollis Frampton's INGENIVM NOBIS IPSA PVELLA FECIT (i?), and George Griffin's Viewmaster (1976). 'While none of the films discussed in detail in the following chapters is exactly an homage to Muybridge, each film is structured serially and can be understood as a "motion study." The particulars of the serial structuring, and the rigorousness (or compulsiveness) with which the various grids are developed, reflect the sensibilities of the filmmakers. Together, the fifteen films provide a grid against which viewers can study their experiences of conventional (and critical) films.
Whereas Muybridge's deepest concerns seem to have been scientific, the Lumire brothers' primary concern was economic: Their fascination with motion pictures was a function of their work as camera manufacturers. Ironically, avant-garde filmmakers found a way of ignoring this dimension
of the Lumires, and the Lumire films came to stand for, and to inspire, a nonmaterialistic approach to filmmaking. When Jonas Mekas dedicated Walden "to Lumire," the dedication was a reference to the excitement Mekas assumed the Lumire brothers must have felt when they confronted the visual world, as if for the first time, with their CinŽmatographe, and to their apparently innocent openness to the everyday experiences around them. For Mekas, and for others rediscovering the Lumires, the most notable dimension of their films was the seeming simplicity of the subjects on which they trained their cameras (a train arriving at a station, workers leaving a factory, children playing, a mother and father feeding their baby) and of the means used to record these subjects: Each film was a single, continuous, extended shot, recorded by a stable, mounted camera. For the Lumires, their choice of subjects probably had mostly to do with their desire to demonstrate the breadth of capabilities they saw in the Cinematographe, to show off the new technology itself (by using it to record familiar realities, they could be sure that viewers would focus on the magic of their machine), and no doubt they assumed that their juxtaposition of film after film, each recording a different subject or kind of subject, would be exciting for viewers.
But for filmmakers rebelling against the decadence of the Hollywood industry and its contempt for everyday, personal reality, the Lumires' films were a breath of fresh air. Seen from a context created by the history and current practice of industry moviemaking, the Lumires' subjects seemed to subtly polemicize the beauties and pleasures of everyday life and a populist admiration for working-class people. The consistent use of the single continuous shot seemed a form of filmic mediation that allowed for a different kind of motion study: a sustained examination and appreciation of subjects for their wholeness and/or their visual and conceptual subtlety. If Muybridge can be said to represent the analysis of reality so that it can be studied, the Lumires can be said to represent the synthesis of reality so that it can be comprehended.
For avant-garde filmmakers interested in "reinventing" cinema, the Lumires' single-shot approach seemed ideal, and the result was that, beginning in the mid-196os, a variety of filmmakers made single-shot films, often extending the basic form so that the single shot lasted for more than ten minutes.9 All the films I've discussed in detail in this volume either use long, continuous shots or employ closely related means for creating a similar effect. And in general, the goal of these extended shots is much the same: to focus attention - an almost meditative level of attention - on subject matter normally ignored or marginalized by mass-entertainment film, and, by doing so, to reinvigorate our reverence for the visual world around us and develop our patience for experiencing it fully.
The remaining fifteen chapters in this book are arranged in a manner that reflects the dimensions of Muybridge and the Lumires central in the particular films discussed. Each chapter provides an "extended look" at a particular film made between 1966 and 1987, though all the chapters include information about the filmmakers' other work, especially about films that help to clarify the films discussed in detail (and about related work by others). Each discussion explores the potential of the particular film for critiquing dimensions of the commercial cinema. It will be obvious that the films can be approached from other theoretical directions and used in a variety of contexts (indeed some of the films have been widely discussed elsewhere). But my goal is to provide a way of seeing each film that not only makes what some have considered difficult work reasonably accessible, but offers a way of using the films that can energize viewers' experiences with cinema of all kinds.
While the individual chapters provide in-depth discussions of particular films, the overall organization of the chapters facilitates comparisons of films and types of films. The fifteen chapters are divided into a grid made up of three relatively distinct sections, five chapters each. The films discussed in Part , - Yoko Ono's No. 4 (Bottoms) (1966), Michael Snow's Wavelength (1967), Ernie Gehr's Serene Velocity (1970), J. J. Murphy's Print Generation (i7), and Morgan Fisher's Standard Gauge (1985) - focus on aspects of equipment, material, and process that make all kinds of film imagery possible, including the dramatizations (and/or documentations) of characters so central in the conventional cinema. The films in Part z focus on aspects of the tradition of film as dramatic narrative. Hollis Frampton's Zorns Lemma (1970), Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen's Riddles of the Sphinx (1977), James Benning's American Dreams (1984), Su Friedrich's The Ties That Bind (1984), and Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi's From the Pole to the Equator (1987) critique the commercial cinema's narrow range of narrative procedures. Part 3 expands the focus beyond the issue of storytelling, to critique the convention that filmmaking is a national (and nationalistic) enterprise. Each of the five films discussed at length - Warren Sonbert's The Carriage Trade (i), Godfrey Reggio's Powaqqatsi (1988), Trinh T. Minh-ha's Naked Spaces-Living Is Round (1985), Yvonne Rainer's Journeys from Berlin I97I (1979), and Peter Watkins's The Journey (1987) - demonstrates ways in which cinema can move beyond its territorial heritage.
Within each section, individual chapters are arranged so as to traverse a certain cinematic terrain and provide a sense of development. The overall direction of the first section is continued in subsequent sections. Further, particular chapters in particular positions within sections are meant to resonate with the chapters in those positions in the other sections. In terms of the types of critique it uses, No 4 (Bottoms) "belongs" in Part i, but it also has more in common with Zorns Lemma and The Carriage Trade than with other films in Parts z and 3. Similarly, Standard Gauge resonates not only with the other films discussed in Part i, but with From the Pole to the Equator and The journey from Part z.
Together, the in-depth analyses of particular films and the organization of these discussions into a grid provide the opportunity for an extended "motion study" of film viewership on a number of different levels. Most obviously, literal and figurative journeys by characters are the central focus of the particular films analyzed, and each character's journey engages viewers in a different form of conceptual travel in the theater. These journeys grow increasingly extensive, from chapter to chapter, and part by part. In the first section, "From Stern to Stem," the journeys are, in a literal sense, quite short, though their implications are considerable. Chapter i discusses Yoko Ono's No. 4 (Bottoms), where the camera rigorously frames on the buttocks of people filmed walking in place on a treadmill: They may not get anywhere on this "journey," but Ono's film offers the viewer extensive conceptual travel. In Part z, "Psychic Excursions," the focus is on journeys of consciousness, though in all instances the psychic travel of filmmakers (and the "journey" of those who experience the films) is imaged and/or catalyzed by literal journeys. The focus of Part 3, "Premonitions of Global Cinema," is films in which filmmakers have used the camera as a vehicle for traveling through the political, linguistic, and conceptual boundaries that divide the world, and the editing process as a way of honoring the distinctions among various regions and peoples while demonstrating their interconnectedness.
Together, the various journeys depicted in the films offer the reader the opportunity of a meta-narrative, a "critical voyage" with a route largely determined by the mass-entertainment film (and television) industry. We come to avant-garde film with our preconceptions already formed and with the habit of resisting any interruption of our cinematic pleasure. This book's grid of extended looks at ingenious critical films can function as a backdrop against which viewers can measure their journeys across the boundaries that separate them from unfamiliar cinematic terrains, toward a larger awareness of Cinema.
Although each of the films discussed in the following chapters is of considerable interest and of considerable potential use to those interested in engaging in an ongoing critique of mainstream film, I certainly am not arguing that these particular fifteen films are the "Best Films" of the past decades. They are simply fifteen of the best films I am aware of for invigorating a cinematic critique of commercial movie-going expectations. I debated for months about which particular films to use, and some decisions were little more than arbitrary. In many cases, particular filmmakers might well have been represented by another of their films. For example, Michael Snow's *-* (1969) could as easily have been the focus of Chapter 3 as Wavelength; and Warren Sonbert's Friendly Witness (1989) could replace The Carriage Trade. In some instances, even the choice of filmmaker was difficult. Larry Gottheim (Horizons, 1973) or Robert Huot (Rolls: 1971) might have opened Part z, instead of Frampton; Jonas Mekas's Reminiscences of a journey to Lithuania (1971) could have been used instead of Friedrich's The Ties That Bind; and Johan van der Keuken's The Way South (1981) would fit perfectly into Part . The single most difficult film not to include was Peter Kubelka's UnsereAfrikareise ("Our Trip to Africa," 1966) which could have ended Part z or begun Part 3.
In any case, my goal is not to canonize, or further canonize, fifteen particular films, or even the approach I use them to exemplify, but to instigate a much more extensive use of the remarkable body of alternative cinema represented by these films. As I write this introduction, the ongoing tradition of critical cinema remains one of film history's most underappreciated achievements and one of its most underutilized classroom resources.
1. I use avant-garde film as a general term to designate the cinematic terrain that has, at various points in its history, been called "underground film," "The New American Cinema," "experimental film," "experimental/avant-garde film," and so on. This very proliferation of terms is evidence of the size and diversity of this particular area of film history, as well as of the ongoing debate about how to understand it. No one term seems entirely satisfactory - including avant-garde film. Avantgarde is not only a military reference (traditionally, avant-garde filmmakers have been anti militaristic), it suggests that the films so designated lead the way for more conventional types of cinema, which is only true in a most limited sense. Some avant-garde films have made breakthroughs in form and content that have been exploited by commercial filmmakers, but in general avant-garde flimmaking has been a derivation of the industry, a response to it in content and form. For all its problems, however, avant-garde film probably has the widest currency of all the designations and, in film studies, is generally understood to refer to an ongoing history that has been articulated in different ways in different places. Most of the other terms tend to refer to particular manifestations of this history. The terms "the first film Avnt-Garde," "the first Avant-Garde," and even "the Avant-Garde" (in caps), generally refer specifically to the Western European avantgarde filmmakers of the 192.05.

6. See J. Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum, Midnight Movies (New York: Harper & Row, 1983). Unlike many forms of avant-garde film that are the products of individual filmmakers working alone, the trash films are often produced by groups of people working in a rough simulation of Hollywood collaborative methods.
7. William C. Wees discusses the issue of visual perception in the work of Brakhage and other filmmakers in Light Moving in Time (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1992.).
8. Some filmmakers - Paul Sharits is a well-known instance - have mounted strips of motion picture film side by side in a grid to create visually arresting gallery installations of grids within the larger grid.
9. There are dozens of examples. The earliest instances I know of are Bruce Baillie's All My Life (1966, although the camera here isn't stationary) and Still Life (1966); several films included in the 1966 Fluxfilm Program assembled by George Maciunas (see Chapter z); and Robert Nelson's The Awful Backlash (1967). In my teaching, the most useful single-shot films have been Larry Gottheim's Blues (1969) and Fog Line (1970), and Robert Huot's Snow (1971). 1 discuss these and other single-shot films in "Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket," Afterimage (American), vol. 16, no. 8 (March 1989), pp. 10-16. | {

Jerry (William H. Macy), a small Minnesota town car salesman, is bursting at the seams with debt...but he's got a plan. He's gonna hire two thugs (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife in a scheme to collect a hefty ransom from his wealthy father-in-law. It's gonna be a snap and nobody's gonna get hurt...until people start dying. Enter Police Chief Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand), a coffee-drinking, parka-wearing - and extremely pregnant - investigator who'll stop at nothing to get her man. And if you think her small-time investigative skills will give the crooks a run for their ransom...you betcha!

Mark Beevers got 63 minutes under his belt on Tuesday afternoon in a behind closed friendly against Gillingham at The Den.
'Beeves' has been out of action since he picked up a knee ligament injury at Charlton on 21st September, but afterwards declared himself ready to return to the squad at Bolton if selected.
Steve Morison netted a hat-trick, Jermaine Easter a brace and there were further goals for Lee Martin and Andy Keogh as a strong Lions outfit ran out 7-1 winners in a game arranged primarily to give players on both sides who have not recently been in their respective clubs' starting line-ups, some valuable match time.
A post match interview with Mark Beevers is now available on Lions Player. | {

The measure of all things
Alder, K. (2002). The measure of all things: the seven-year odyssey and hidden error that transformed the world. New York: Free Press.
Measurement is of critical importance to science, but as Ken Alder shows in this informative book, scientific activities cannot be separated from the personalities of those involved and the political events of the times. Alder is a historian of technology at Northwestern University who writes of important scientific events with an easy to read simplicity that makes the story fascinating as well as a deep examination of the issues.
This story tells of the quest to measure the circumference of the earth by a laborious effort of physical surveying by triangulation from visible site to visible site the from Northern France to Spain (and then basically multiplying by the appropriate factor). The goal was to determine the distance with great accuracy, allowing the meter to be defined as as one ten-millionth the distance from the equator to the North Pole. All these events took place just prior to, during, and after the French revolution which greatly interfered with the quest. Moreover, the task was quite a bit more difficult than had been initially thought, and not all the measurements ended up being consistent with one another. So some fudging of data resulted and supposedly open data collection sets were kept secret. Lots of people got into the act, even Napoleon.
If you ever wondered about the origins of the metric system this book helps provide some of the intrigue and background. You might also note that the metric calendar (10 months) and the metric clock (ten hours with 100 minutes to the hour and 10 seconds to the minute) did not survive.

Black Dog Syndrome is the phenomenon in which black dogs (or cats) are inexplicably passed over for adoption in favor of animals with lighter coats. While there is no singular reason for this, there are several theories. For one, black dogs are difficult to photograph. They also often portray evil, vicious animals in films and books — and black cats, of course, are believed to cause bad luck.
Last year Alex, who has always been an animal lover, was looking for a way to get more involved with dog rescues. After a little thought, Alex decided to put her talents as a knitwear designer to use. Although many of her designs feature bright colors, she herself actually wears a lot of black. Alex explained, "Even though black is a classic and a staple in many people's wardrobes, you don't often see black in knitting patterns because, very much like a black dog, a black sweater is hard to photograph." And thus, her idea was born!
Alex already had a decent-sized following on Instagram and Ravelry, but this could not prepare her for the overwhelming success of the project. By September 1, 2015, the project had 313 backers who donated $8,744, nearly tripling her original goal!
Alex had already designed and knitted much of the project prior to the Kickstarter. Therefore, the project moved along quickly and was released on November 20, 2015. She collaborated with knitting photographer Vivian Aubrey to document the collection. And if you're also the crafty type, all of her patterns are available on Ravelry.
As for future projects, Alex plans to add more blacks and neutrals to her collection of patterns. But for now, she is enjoying the opportunity to pick a dog rescue and make a meaningful donation each month.
Be sure to check out the Knit it Black collection on Ravelry. | {

Q: Custom LinkedList: Picking alternate integer elements I have a list of Integer [21, 9, 13, 47, 5, 10, 19, 36, 20, 11, 13] and I'm trying to write a recursive function that will return every other integer from the original list as a list (i.e. [21, 13, 5, 19, 20, 13]).
I'm using a custom implementation of a LispList. The object is called LispList and it is immutable and (obviously) unindexed. It provides the following methods:
E head() - returns the first item of the list it is called on.
LispList <E> tail() - returns a new list consisting of all but the first item of the list it is called on.
LispList <E> cons(E item) - takes an argument and returns a new list whose head is the argument and whose tail is the list it is called on.
boolean isEmpty() - returns true if the list it is called on is the empty list, returns false otherwise.
static <T> LispList<T> empty() - returns an empty list.
After several hours of attempt, I've come up with a way where I'm using a counter initialised at 2 and using it to track even numbered elements, which should be picked out and put in a new LispList and returned.
However, when I run the code it throws a NullPointerException and I can't see why. Maybe I've just been staring at the screen for too long!
This is the method getting called from main:
public static <T> LispList<T> pickEveryOther(LispList<T> ls) {
int counter = 2;
LispList<T> ls1 = pickEveryOtherHelper(ls.tail(), counter);
return ls1;
}
and the helper method:
public static <T> LispList<T> pickEveryOtherHelper(LispList<T> ls, int counter) {
LispList<T> wantLs = LispList.empty();
if(ls.isEmpty()) {
return LispList.empty();
}
else {
if(counter % DIVIDER == 0) {
// item we want
wantLs = wantLs.cons(ls.head());
counter++;
}
else {
// don't want item, look in tail
pickEveryOtherHelper(ls.tail(), counter);
}
return wantLs;
}
}
Greatly appreciate your efforts.
A: This should do the trick, just take the head of, then try to take the tail two times and recurse on that. Just account for the fact that it can become an empty list after every tail. And then prepend the head to the result of the recursion.
public static <T> LispList<T> everyOther(LispList<T> lispList) {
if (lispList.isEmpty()) {
return lispList.empty();
}
T head = lispList.head();
LispList<T> tail = lispList.tail();
if (!tail.isEmpty()) {
tail = tail.tail();
}
tail = everyOther(tail);
return tail.cons(head);
}
A: The solution is to pop 2 values off the list on each recursion, and build a new list using one of the 2 values.
You didn't really specify whether "every other" means 1st, 3rd, 5th, ... or 2nd, 4th, 6th, ..., so here is both solutions.
public static <T> LispList<T> pickOdd(LispList<T> ls) {
if (ls.isEmpty())
return ls; // return empty
LispList<T> tail1 = ls.tail();
if (tail1.isEmpty())
return ls; // return of(ls.head())
LispList<T> tail2 = tail1.tail();
if (tail2.isEmpty())
return tail2.cons(ls.head()); // return of(ls.head())
return pickOdd(tail2).cons(ls.head());
}
public static <T> LispList<T> pickEven(LispList<T> ls) {
if (ls.isEmpty())
return ls; // return empty
LispList<T> tail1 = ls.tail();
if (tail1.isEmpty())
return tail1; // return empty
LispList<T> tail2 = tail1.tail();
if (tail2.isEmpty())
return tail1; // return of(ls.tail().head())
return pickEven(tail2).cons(tail1.head());
}
To test it, I did implement LispList, with two helper methods (of(...) and toString()):
final class LispList<E> {
private final E head;
private final LispList<E> tail;
private LispList(E head, LispList<E> tail) {
this.head = head;
this.tail = tail;
}
/** returns the first item of the list it is called on */
public E head() {
if (isEmpty()) throw new IllegalStateException();
return this.head;
}
/** returns a new list consisting of all but the first item of the list it is called on */
public LispList<E> tail() {
if (isEmpty()) throw new IllegalStateException();
return this.tail;
}
/** takes an argument and returns a new list whose head is the argument and whose tail is the list it is called on */
public LispList<E> cons(E item) {
return new LispList<>(item, this);
}
/** returns true if the list it is called on is the empty list, returns false otherwise */
public boolean isEmpty() {
return this.tail == null;
}
/** returns an empty list */
public static <T> LispList<T> empty() {
return new LispList<>(null, null);
}
@SafeVarargs
public static <T> LispList<T> of(T ... values) {
LispList<T> ls = empty();
for (int i = values.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
ls = ls.cons(values[i]);
return ls;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
StringJoiner joiner = new StringJoiner(", ", "[", "]");
for (LispList<E> ls = this; ! ls.isEmpty(); ls = ls.tail())
joiner.add(String.valueOf(ls.head()));
return joiner.toString();
}
}
TEST
LispList<Integer> ls = LispList.of(21, 9, 13, 47, 5, 10, 19, 36, 20, 11, 13);
System.out.println("List: " + ls);
System.out.println("Odd : " + pickOdd(ls));
System.out.println("Even: " + pickEven(ls));
OUTPUT
List: [21, 9, 13, 47, 5, 10, 19, 36, 20, 11, 13]
Odd : [21, 13, 5, 19, 20, 13]
Even: [9, 47, 10, 36, 11]

Talking Palestine to power
Sonja Karkar The Electronic Intifada 12 April 2010
Israel claims exceptionalism no matter how extreme its crimes. (Hatem Omar/MaanImages)
Today, there is no excuse for not knowing the truth about Palestine, especially what is happening in Gaza. Even taking into account the disinformation spread in mainstream media, there are enough glimpses one gets of a ravaged Gaza and a brutalized people that should compel us to ask questions. There are enough websites and blogs easily available for anyone to learn more, even if it requires sifting through and evaluating the available information. Certainly, the alarm bells should be ringing when our political leaders declare undying fealty to Israel or cavalierly wear it as a badge of honor, despite the documented reports of Israel's war crimes by human rights groups and official enquiries.
But the world lacks courage from government leaders, acquiescent mainstream media, nongovernmental organizations dependent on government support, academics looking for tenure and populations too long fed on a diet of Zionist myths. People are terrified of being labelled anti-Semitic, a mendacious charge against anyone criticizing Israel. Palestinians too, afraid of being further shunned and disadvantaged in countries that give them refuge, so often remain silent. Not only do people fear repercussions, but speaking the truth or even just hearing it has a way of taking people out of their comfort zones. They fear their troubled consciences may require them to act and so they bury their heads deeper into the sand where they hope even the sounds of silence might be extinguished.
This then is the challenge for advocates the world over. How does one talk Palestine to power if one cannot even talk Palestine to the people who are in fear of the powerful?
In the face of media saturation with Zionist viewpoints and the new "Brand Israel" campaigns, many wanting to advocate for Palestine might feel defeated, but time and again we see that the power of one can be enormously effective.
The great scholar and public intellectual Edward Said showed more than anyone else that individuals can make a difference in the public defense of Palestine. He particularly saw the intellectual's voice as having "resonance."
But one does not need to be an intellectual. Said's words can just as aptly apply to any one of us. He said avoidance was "reprehensible" and in his 1994 book Representations of the Intellectual, described it as "that characteristic turning away from a difficult and principled position which you know to be the right one, but which you decide not to take. You do not want to appear too political; you are afraid of seeming too controversial; you need the approval of a boss or an authority figure; you want to keep a reputation for being balanced, objective, moderate; your hope is … to remain within the responsible mainstream … ."
In 1993 when almost everyone else thought the handshakes at the White House steps would seal the negotiated Oslo accords and at long last give the Palestinians their freedom and bring peace to the region, Edward Said saw that these accords would merely provide the cover for Israel to pursue its colonial expansionism and consolidate its occupation of Palestine. However, he knew to criticize Oslo meant in effect taking a position against "hope" and "peace." His decision to do so flew in the face of the Palestinian revolutionary leadership that had bartered for statehood.
Although Said was denounced for his views, he was not prepared to buy into the deception that he knew would leave the Palestinians with neither hope nor peace. And just as he predicted, each fruitless year of peacemaking finally exposed the horrible reality of Oslo as Palestinians found themselves the victims of Israel's matrix of control, a term first used to describe the situation by Israeli professor Jeff Halper in 1999. And this domination of one people over another without any intention of addressing the injustices against the Palestinians ethnically cleansed from their homeland, has undeniably reduced Israel to an apartheid state.
The Palestinians have nothing left worth calling a state and they are facing an existential threat on all fronts. Yet, some intellectuals are still talking about a two-state solution in lock step with politicians, a mantra that is repeated uncritically, even mendaciously, in the mainstream media.
This pandering to an idea for decades has been undermined by the furious sounds of drills and hammers reverberating in illegal settlements throughout the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the catastrophic societal ruptures engineered in Gaza. Now those sounds are muffled by the rhetoric of "economic peace," "institution-building," "democracy," "internal security" and "statehood." They are words that must be challenged at every opportunity, for they are not mere words, but dangerous concepts when isolated from truth on the ground.
It is no use talking about "economic peace" when industrial estates built for Palestinian workers are intended to provide Israel with slave labor and cheap goods. It is useless to support "institution-building" when Israel continues to undermine and obstruct those programs already struggling to service Palestinian society. It is a lie to speak of "democracy" when fair elections in 2006 had Israel and the "international community" denying Hamas the right to govern. It is a charade to accept "internal security" when arming and training Palestinians to police their own people covers for Israel's and America's divide-and-conquer scheme. It is hollow to speak of "statehood" when Israel keeps stealing land and building illegal settlements that deprive the Palestinians of their homes and livelihoods while herding them into isolated and walled-in ghettoes.
Edward Said was proven right. Now, it is our turn to speak the truth and act fearlessly, regardless of the censure we are likely to encounter. The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer is believed to have said that truth passes through three stages: "first, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; third, it is accepted as being self-evident." Today, we are at the third stage: the 11 million Palestinians living under occupation, apartheid and as stateless refugees are the living truth. That is Israel's Achilles' heel.
The Palestinians are no longer the humble shepherds and farmers that Zionist forces terrorized into fleeing to make way for the Jewish State of Israel. A new generation wants justice and it is demanding it eloquently, nonviolently and strategically. Their message: no normal relations with Israel while it oppresses Palestinians, denies their rights and violates international law. And boycott, divestment and sanctions have to be legitimate tools for challenging a state that claims exceptionalism no matter how extreme and criminal its actions.
The temptation of course is always to opt for the path of least resistance. Therefore, we must appeal to the individual, not even to sacrifice for others, but to recognize that no matter where we live in this global village, we are all vulnerable if we do not stand up for universal human rights and uphold the principles and application of international law.
Despite his own Zionist affiliations and loyalty to Israel, Justice Richard Goldstone saw the danger of tailoring his UN-backed report on war crimes in Gaza to exonerate Israel. He had the decency and courage to put the rule of law and humanity ahead of the savage condemnation he knew would come from talking truth to power.
The same can be said of Richard Falk, the Jewish professor emeritus from Princeton University and UN special rapporteur in the occupied Palestinian territories, who was denied entry into Israel because he described Israel's siege on Gaza as a "Holocaust in the making" ("Israel deports American academic," Guardian, 15 December 2008). Israel's treatment was insulting enough, but now shamefully, the Palestinian Authority has asked the Human Rights Council to "postpone" his report on Gaza and, as Nadia Hijab reported, is asking him to resign ("PA's betrayal of human rights defenders the unkindest cut," Nadia Hijab, 14 March 2010).
These are honorable men, but we too can stand on principle in smaller ways, whether that is refusing to buy Israeli goods at our local store, boycotting an Israeli-government sponsored event or exposing and protesting the collusion between governments and corporations with Israel. That is what it means to become part of a worldwide civil movement that will do what our leaders will not: pressure Israel to dismantle the matrix of control on Palestine and make reparations for the decades of injustices it has perpetrated against its people.
It is indeed possible for all of us to "squeeze out of reality some of its potentialities," the reality that University of Melbourne Professor Ghassan Hage has said is found in those utopic moments that come from challenging our own thoughts, fears and biases. In that space lies the untapped power we seek, to speak the truth without fear or favor. In that space lies the potential for political change. In that space, there will always be hope for Palestine.

We're dipping one final time into Sydney Nevile's highly informative article on beer in the 1930's.
"The combined result of the constructive policy of the trade, the relatively high price of beer and the altered and improved standard of manners, customs and ideas of the masses of the people, has led to regard being paid by the consumer more to quality and flavour than to strength and volume. The alcoholic strength of beer, which remained practically unaltered from 1885 to 1914 at roughly an average of 5 per cent., and which was reduced owing to restrictions during the critical period of the war to something between 2-3 per cent., gradually rose when the restrictions were removed, and now stands at an average in the neighbourhood of 4 per cent., at which point so for as can be seen it will remain more or less constant in the absence of any material change in the rate of duty or other conditions. The great bulk of industrial beer consumed by the masses is now probably in the neighbourhood of 3 per cent, to 3.5 per cent, of alcohol content, whilst stouts and what may be termed "luxury" beers range up to 5 per cent."
Journal of the Institute of Brewing, Volume 42, Issue 6, November-December 1936, page 521.
Beer had gone from being a cheap everyday item to something rather more expensive. Paying more, consumers also expected to get more for their money in terms of quality. It's a logical enough demand.
His prediction that average beer strength would remain around 4% turned out not to be true. Though, in Nevile's defence, there were material changes in the conditions. A little fracas called WW II.
Barclay Perkins brewing log held at the London Metropolitan Archives, document number ACC/2305/01/621.
4d. per pint Ale, the continuation of wartime Government Ale.
5d. per pint Ordinary Mild.
6d. per pint Best Mild.
By far the most common of the three types was 5d. Ordinary Mild. Low-gravity Ales were brewed in quite modest quantities, at least at the brewery's whose brewing records I've seen. Nevile is spot on in saying most was between 3 and 3.5% ABV. The average for 5d. Mild is 3.31% ABV.
However, Mild at this strength was a relatively recent phenomenon. Before 1931, Ordinary Mild had cost 6d. per pint and had a gravity of 1040-1045º. Then there was the disastrous increase in the tax on beer in 1931. Rather than increase the price to 7d., brewers cut the gravity to 1035-1037º so they could continue to retail it at 6d. When the tax returned to its old level in 1933, brewers didn't increase the gravity back to its old level but instead cut the price to 5d.
"Whilst the average bulk consumption of beer per head has been largely reduced, the consumption has been spread over a wider class of the community. Beer is consumed by classes of people who in old days would have regarded wine or spirits as their customary drink. The service of beer, for instance, at balls and after theatres is now almost universal."
Presumably before WW I beer was overwhelmingly drunk by the working classes either in pubs or in their homes. Not in more upmarket venues like theatres. Though I bet they did serve Bass in posher places.
"It is to be noted that whereas over the rest of the world lager beer has ousted top-fermentation beer in popularity. Great Britain seems to be the only country where top-fermentation beer has held its own. Although lager beer has been largely advertised and a great number of brands are on the market and freely offered for sale, the total consumption in this country is still within very small proportions. The climate is frequently credited with the responsibility for this, but it is probable that the great attention given to the selection of materials by British brewers and the steady improvement of technique, both in the brewery and in the public-house, is the fundamental reason for the maintenance of the demand for British top-fermentation beer."
I think I'm with Nevile on why Lager didn't take off in the first half of the 20th century. brewers were able to brew top-quality top-fermenting beer. Why should they incur the risk of buying the extra equipment required to brew Lager when there was no need to?
In many European countries top-fermenting beer had been produced in small, old-fashioned breweries. These weren't able, in most cases, to compete with Lager on quality and gradually disappeared. There were a few exceptions, like Düsseldorf and Cologne, where breweries upgraded their brewhouses and adopted some Lager brewing techniques. Their beers are still around today.
This is fascinating, especially the idea of a split between 'industrial' and 'luxury' beer.
I wonder if mild could be made more appealing to modern punters by branding it as 'best mild'?
Bailey, I think Imperial Mild would work best for getting modern geeks interested.
Very interesting as always. The more I think about these post-WW I gravities, the more I am convinced the British session grew alongside. It only really works with beer at 3-4%.
That split—between industrial and luxury beer—is exactly what I was getting on about in my post about the Pennsylvania oil boom and Albany Ale!
Gary, crazily people actually drank a greater volume before WW I. I suspect people still had sessions, just that they got falling over drunk.
I wish I'd thought of that one.
It would be interesting to see data on single-session consumption before WW I and especially when mild ale was stronger than pale ale and porter. I think Martyn once said he was looking into that.
But even in a hard-drinking age, drinking 10-12 pints of 8% mild ale...?
you read what Sydney Nevile said about before WW I: a narrower group of people drank beer, i.e. mostly just the working classes. Yet they drank a greater volume. They must have been throwing it back.
Falling over drunk was more common and accepted than I think we dare imagine.
1885 to 1930 is also the arc during which water would have become relatively safe to drink on a reliable basis, no? British immigrants to Canada were still being warned in the 1850s to avoid water and drink beer as water was dangerous to health.
The Mass Observation book has plenty of detail on how much people drank in a session before World War II, and what they were drinking.
Ron, they drank more on average in the 1800's than in the mid-1900's - I have seen other data on this - but it doesn't mean they drank more in one sitting. The patterns of drinking are important too. I suspect drinking at work or intervals of same was more common than in the more industrialized 1930's - the percentage of agricultural workers in the work force in the 1800's was much higher than between the wars, say.
Anyway, social history will tell the tale.
I wish I had something similar for pre-WW I.
I've read that heavy drinking was much more common. And I mean heavy drinking by my standards - not able to walk properly state. But there's not that data as for Worktown.
I'm glad I didn't come acorss that book whwn I was 18. I'd have spent my 20's noting what every other bugger in the pub was drinking.
But in 1933 was beer cheaper then 10 years earlier ?
no, it was the same price. At least for the same gravity beer. Though because brewers cut gravities after the 1931 tax increase, the retail price of a beer might be lower. | {

US Box Office Report: 10/10/14 – 12/10/14
14/10/2014 Callie Petch Leave a comment
The Judge has a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad weekend, Dracula does makes Untold millions, Kill The Messenger is DOA, the full list will give you Whiplash, and Other Box Office News.
by Callum Petch (Twitter: @CallumPetch)
This weekend, a terrifying curse was placed upon a certain set of people. One that rendered them scared, confused, worried about the changes and its effects, and unable to go out during the daytime (primarily because they don't go out during the day, anyway). I am of course referring to the 48 hours in which the website known as Box Office Mojo ceased to exist. We film writers were thrown into a panic. "How on earth can we do our jobs now? What other monstrous websites will we have to patronize instead? Why hast thou forsaken us?!" we cried skyward to the heavens. But then, right on cue, the site returned this morning with no explanation for its absence! And so our great national nightmare was over!
You could say, then, that it was a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad weekend, in an incredibly lame segway towards referring to the box office stats. It was most certainly one for the "Robert Downey, Jr. has a space on his fireplace that he's just freed up for some awards statues" flick known more commonly as The Judge. Not only did critics collectively shrug it away from any possible awards buzz, the film underwhelmed severely at the box office, despite featuring Robert Downey, Jr. doing that Robert Downey, Jr. thing that the people like, only debuting in fifth place with $13 million in ticket sales. Alexander, then, much like its titular character, ended up passing off that yadda yadda weekend to somebody else, opening with a surprisingly strong $19.1 million for third place.
That left it comfortably sat behind the number two film, Dracula Untold which debuted to a very surprisingly strong $23 million. Couple that with its currently-really-rather-successful overseas performance, and you have one genuinely surprised writer. In any case, that still puts it very much behind the weekend's number 1 film, Gone Girl, which shed only 28% between weekends to hold onto the top spot. Couple that with its currently-very-successful overseas performance, and you get one very, very happy writer. Also sneaking into the Top 10 was the moderate release drama-thriller Addicted, which managed to overcome the handicap of apparently being complete garbage to score a seventh place debut and a near-$9000 per screen average.
As for those limited release films outside of the top 10, there's a lot to parse through. First off, Meet The Mormons, which resides in 11th place on our countdown with a weekend gross of $2.7 million, from 317 screens, that are presumably from people who thought it was an expose on the making of The Book Of Mormon. It is, though, the second biggest opening for a documentary all year, at any rate (behind Bears). Next up, we have the Jeremy Renner-starring and Mary Elizabeth Winstead-featuring Kill The Messenger, which tanked with only $939,000 from 374 screens. You know, because Mary Elizabeth Winstead is cursed at the box office. St. Vincent, a film starring Bill Murray and I know that's all it needs to do to earn your ticket because that's all it took to earn mine, managed to take $121,000 from 4 screens worth of people who had the exact same thought processes as us. Meanwhile, the critically lauded Whiplash kick-started its assault on the public with $144,000 worth of people in 6 screens wanting to see J.K. Simmons mentally and physically abuse the f*ck out of Miles Teller. The real abuse, as should be obvious, though, is withholding this film from us Brits until January the goddamn 16th of 2015!!
Oh, and One Chance, that biopic about the opera singer from Britain's Got Talent, finally got released in America this past weekend. $32,800 from 43 screens. Absolutely worth the constant release date circle-jerking.
This Full List is being held in contempt of court! Everything that guy just said is bullsh*t! The Bible is a good book, but it's not the only book! I believe there is justice in our hearts! You can't handle the truth!
Box Office Results: Friday 10th October 2014 – Sunday 12th October 2014
1] Gone Girl
$26,800,000 / $78,281,000
Saw it again this weekend and again loved every second of it. It's just such a brilliant film, and trying to articulate the reasons as to why I love it so in less than an A4 page when it inevitably ends up in the highest possible echelons of my Top 10 of 2014 list is going to be a monumental task. Look forward to that inevitable train-wreck of a series (yes, series, I'm planning in advance here, got a feeling the overall article would be in excess of 10 goddamn pages otherwise) in the future! For now, go see Gone Girl! Yes, even if you have already seen it. Go again.
2] Dracula Untold
$23,457,000 / NEW
So, yeah. Gonna be frank, I fully expected this one to out and out bomb. Like, straight flop as soon as it left the starting gates. It still could, next week has plenty of releases ready to steal its thunder and rumours are going around that the $70 mil price tag the film is sporting is significantly lower than its true budget, but it's not an immediate and total failure, which I will likely never stop being surprised by. You people did see the awful trailer, right?
3] Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Oh, Christ, this one. Look, I refuse to believe that it is anything less than a total steaming, nigh-on insufferable dud until I inevitably see it with my own eyes in the near-future. I'm also guessing that his work as Childish Gambino is not paying anywhere near enough to keep Donald Glover away from dreck like this. That's a bit of a shame; because the internet isn't too bad of an album.
4] Annabelle
A 56% drop between weekends, which is a little steeper than The Conjuring's but is still not too bad overall. Again, it's got no direct competition for the whole of October, which is weirdly empty with regards to horror films this year, and Ouija, which drops at the very end of the month, will bomb to some degree (I have never been so sure of anything in my entire last 15 minutes of life). Annabelle will keep making money. Whether that's a good thing or not is for you folks to judge.
5] The Judge
Robert Downey, Jr. really does just play the Robert Downey, Jr. role now, doesn't he? That's kind of a shame. I mean, don't get me wrong, I really like Robert Downey, Jr., but he is capable of more and I'd rather he stretch himself and try to mitigate the risk of just coasting by on Iron Man. On a related heathen note, all three Iron Man films are my least favourite of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the exception of The Incredible Hulk. Yes, even Iron Man 3. Expect my firing to be made public in a few hours.
6] The Equalizer
$9,725,000 / $79,885,000
Skipped it last Tuesday, before you ask. I fulfilled the "seeing Dolphin Tale 2" part of that plan and then was too "eeeeeeeeeehhhhhh"'d out to bother seeing The Equalizer on top of it. Guess I'll never see it now. Oh, boo hoo. How I weep for such a missed opportunity.
7] Addicted
$7,600,000 / NEW
It wasn't until I watched the trailer that I realised why this film came out of nowhere to make big, big bucks: it predominately stars, and is targeted at, black people. Let me be clear, that's not meant to be an insult – for the love of God, it really is not. It's instead an observation that there is a large segment of America that very much enjoy watching films aimed at them regardless of quality, and which are not white. In fact, it's an observation that keeps being made every single time a film like that becomes successful, almost like it's a fact about a mostly untapped market instead of an observation about trend that will die out soon…
8] The Maze Runner
Penning my review as soon as I've finished with this. Short version: surprisingly, genuinely great until the abysmal ending cocks everything up. You should have seen me in the cinema; I visibly went from "Hell yes, bring on the sequel!" to "(exasperated groan), I guess I'll see the sequel because I have to," in the space of about 10 minutes. Again, review will be set for tomorrow, so sit tight for in-depth thoughts, but man I was so disappointed by this one.
9] The Boxtrolls
Oh. Oh. OK, remember last week when I said Laika were going to be OK? I want you to disregard that and instead hit all of your panic buttons. The budget is $60 mil, which it has only barely cleared thanks to foreign grosses, it's currently sitting at less domestically than notorious under-performer ParaNorman, and The Book Of Life (side note: PLEASE DO NOT SUCK) is coming along next week to hijack its audience. It may end up a hit on home video, which it deserves to be because Laika deserve all the success even with films that aren't up to their usual standards, but I'm going to panic the f*ck out until somebody at Laika tells me I don't need to.
10] Left Behind
Still not going to make any obvious jokes at the expense of its title. I am above that. I have limits, y'know.
Dropped Out: This Is Where I Leave You, Dolphin Tale 2, Guardians Of The Galaxy, No Good Deed

US Box Office Report: 3/10/14 – 5/10/14
Gone Girl disappears with a lot of cash, Annabelle scares up big bucks, Nas: Box Office Gross Is Illmatic, you already know the obvious pun for Left Behind, and Other Box Office News.
Defying typical David Fincher luck, Gone Girl obliterated the weekend and took first place with $38 million in ticket sales. Why do I say "defying typical David Fincher luck"? Well, because David Fincher films do not open past the $20 million mark, the only exceptions being The Social Network (and even then just barely), The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (which had Brad Pitt and enough crowd-pleasing Oscar bait schmaltz to drown kittens in) and the prior biggest opener Panic Room (which… OK, I've got nuthin'). Plus, you know, the fact that the film is bleak and nihilistic and preposterous and nasty as all hell. But, hey, it's the date movie of the year! I mean, I don't know about you folks, but I find that films about psychopaths and sociopaths are just the most hopelessly romantic!
Anyways, the success of Gone Girl means that, for once, justice prevails at the box office! My favourite film of the year so far managed to hold off blatant coat-tails riding cash-grab Annabelle, which entered in second with $37 million! Admittedly, that is still extremely close and could lead to a switch in positions when the actuals come in, but I am going to pre-emptively do my happy dance jig right now, if you all don't mind. The fact that its opening is still massive and that it's guaranteed to make crap tonnes due to it being the only horror movie out for the majority of October (Dracula Untold will bomb, just you watch) are both irrelevant. Gone Girl came out on top! Everything's going to be OK, folks! Everything is going to be OK.
Other films came out this past weekend, though, so we have to talk about them. Left Behind, an adaptation of a faith-based book series starring noted religious man Nicholas Cage and directed by former stuntman Vic Armstrong, was resoundingly… you know what? I am above the obvious joke that everyone else has already made, I draw the line at jokes this easy. All I'll say is that Left Behind took almost $7 million for sixth place. Faring infinitely worse was the "mother of God, this trailer is so offensive and offensively treacly that a crazed homeless man could jump out of nowhere and scoop my eyeballs out of their sockets right now, and it would honestly be preferable to having to see the rest of this trailer or the film that it's promoting" The Good Lie, which could only manage $935,000 from 461 screens despite Reese Witherspoon being somebody whose name we should all know.
Doing much better than both of those was the Bollywood epic (and I do mean "epic") Bang Bang!, a remake of that world-famous and widely-revered Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz vehicle Knight & Day that you all totally didn't forget about 5 minutes after watching. In any case, its 271 screens, as part of one of the biggest release roll-outs for a Bollywood movie ever, convinced $1.2 million worth of people to finally try this Bollywood thing they keep hearing so much about, the highest opening of the year for a Bollywood film in the US. Faring much, much, much worse was the latest film from once bright directorial star Jason Reitman: Men, Women & Children, which has been absolutely savaged by critics, only managed to take $48,000 from 17 screens for a per-screen average of $2,824 which is horrible. The film might do better when it expands nationwide in a few weeks, but that's still two straight critical drubbings in the space of 10 months for Reitman. Dude, what the f*ck has happened to you?
Finally before we get into the full list, Nas: Time Is Illmatic, a documentary about the creation of one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rap albums of all-time and the people behind it, managed to open to $23,200 from 2 screens. I mention this purely for the reasons of I think that's genuinely awesome and to tell you to listen to Illmatic right now if you haven't yet. In fact, listen to it even if you already know it front-to-back, it's never not a good time to listen to that album!
This Full List sneaks a uzi on the island in its army jacket lining.
Box Office Results: Friday 3rd October 2014 – Sunday 5th October 2014
My review, in which I battled against an unrelenting cold and a desire to avoid spoiling anything to tell you why I think Gone Girl is the best film I have seen all year and likely will see all year. Before anybody shouts "BUT INHERENT VICE HASN'T COME OUT AND CHANGED ANYONE'S LIVES YET" or some such like, UK release dates mean that films like Inherent Vice don't make it over here until January because Americans just can't get over that one time we forcibly colonised them. In any case, no film has made me as excited about films and cinema and going to the cinema this year as Gone Girl did. It's going to be divisive, but I f*cking adore it and, for me, it's the bar to clear for everything else this year.
I am so glad this comes out next week here. Then I can finally stop hanging around outside cinema screens for films I want to see waiting for the trailers to finish in case this one starts up and gives my easily-scared self a heart-attack. Instead, I'll be hanging around outside cinema screens for films I want to see waiting for the trailers to finish so that other films I want to see aren't spoilt for me; a totally legitimate reason for doing so.
Fine, I guess I'll see this tomorrow or whatever. I'm probably going to hate it, but at least then we'll all know together!
A 28.1% drop between weekends, which is excellent. Now, yes, considering the soft opening, that's still a bit too much of a drop for my liking, but it's actually really excellent. Why? Well, again, stop-motion animated films open soft anyway and a near 30% drop is rather expected between weekends for them, it's better than ParaNorman's near 40% plummet two years back and is equal to the fall that Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit took between weekends. Boxtrolls will pass Frankenweenie by Friday in terms of total domestic grosses, it's doing well overseas, and it may close closer to Tim Burton's Corpse Bride than initially thought. Overall, things are going to turn out alright for Laika. I've got a good feeling about this!
OK, then, Friday, bring on The Maze Runner. I'm ready to give it a fair shot. My expectations are low but my mind is willing to give the film a chance to win me over. This is your shot, Maze Runner. Impress me.
6] Left Behind
Yeah, I'll just stick to watching The Leftovers, is that's alright with everyone.
7] This Is Where I Leave You
So… have we all come around to Arrested Development Season 4 yet? Granted, I haven't watched it since it came out (I have been busy, but I'd like to have a run back through all of Arrested Development yet again some point soon), but it fulfilled pretty much all of my expectations when I saw it; I spent pretty much three straight days in varying levels of hysterics with it. That made my going online and seeing the bile-filed reception the season got from most people rather perplexing. I mean, sure, it's not as good as Season 2, but I ask you what else is?
Can you tell that I'm really reaching for stuff to talk about with regards to this film, cos I want to hold off on making any judgements until I've seen the thing for myself?
8] Dolphin Tale 2
So, in preparation for finally seeing this in the very near-future, I watched the original over the weekend. It's an OK film, does exactly what it promises to do and not much more but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it did work for small stretches at a time. It felt very much like a film that's been pulled out of time and released in the early 2010s, specifically a time between 1993 and 1996. Still have no idea what they can do for a sequel, mind, besides hit the exact same beats this one did but with diminishing returns. I guess I'll find out soon.
9] Guardians Of The Galaxy
$3,034,000 / $323,360,000
Well, it's been an incredible 10 week run, but it's time to say goodbye to the Guardians Of The Galaxy. Next week sees the release of a sh*tty looking Dracula movie, an abysmal looking live-action Disney family film, and a mediocre looking Robert Downey Jr. starring piece of award bait. But it's not the quality that's the point here, it's the fact that they'll be new films and that Guardians will be an 11 week old film that will hit home media in exactly two months from now. Ah, well, it's been fun! Let's play it out, shall we?
10] No Good Deed
America, you could have seen anything else. Almost quite literally anything else. Just remember that fact.

US Box Office Report: 26/9/14 – 28/9/14
The Equalizer has no equal, The Boxtrolls live underneath The Maze Runner, take Pride in that film's per-screen average, these are some of the worst puns you will see all week, and Other Box Office News.
Now that that awful headline has chased off anybody without a strong enough constitution, let's get down to business. The Equalizer is your new number one with $34 million in ticket sales and a per-screen average of over $10,000. You know, despite it looking like garbage. Still, that didn't stop it becoming the fourth-highest September opening in history behind Hotel Transylvania, Insidious: Chapter Two, and Sweet Home Alabama which, if you're anything like me, you'll be googling right now to find out what the hell that was. Chalk up the success to the presence of Denzel Washington, the Patron Saint of movies that inexplicably make a lot of money despite immediately fading from memory after viewing. Don't believe me? OK, then: what year did 2 Guns come out? The correct answer was August of last year, not that you'd get that seeing as you actually had to google 2 Guns to remember what it was.
As for the week's other new release, The Boxtrolls, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the film now has the second biggest opening for a stop-motion animated film ever, behind Chicken Run, said opening is more than the ones for both Coraline and ParaNorman, and the lack of any family-focussed films on the release docket for next week gives it a strong chance of holding well! The bad news is that it opened in third with only $17 million in ticket sales. Again, that's still a lot considering the genre, but, dammit, Laika deserve even more success! I may be a bit more down on The Boxtrolls than most people, but it's still better than most animated films I've seen so far this year and the company deserve a full-blown financial success after the outstanding ParaNorman barely broke even!
In limited release town: The Skeleton Twins began its move towards a wide-ish release by expanding to 385 theatres and netting a total of $1.231 million from them, for a decent per-screen average of $3,200. Christian (the faith, not the professional wrestler) musical-drama The Song hit many bum notes on the 340 screens it infected, taking only $568,596. Más Negro Que La Noche, a Mexican remake of the 1975 Mexican horror film of the same name (so never let it be said that only the American film industry is out of ideas), did slightly better by netting $550,000 from 178 screens.
The real winner, though, was Pride, which began its charm offensive on the American shores with a measly 6 screens. It more than made the most of them, though, raking in a per-screen average of $13,662 for a weekend total of $81,971. Some box office reporting outlets describe this success as "decent", seemingly forgetting that not every limited release is a f*cking Wes Anderson project that can rack up a $200,000+ per-screen average from 4 cinemas. Pride expands a bit further in a couple of weeks and, if you're not sold to go and see it just yet, here's my review to persuade you to part with your cash. See what I did there? Seamless, wasn't it?
Also, If I Stay decided not to this week. I am absolutely not a hack writer.
The enjoyment that you will derive from this Full List is equal to or greater than your appreciation for those four prior paragraphs.
Box Office Results: Friday 26th September 2014 – Sunday 28th September 2014
There should be a review of this up soon somewhere on here, although not by me as I haven't seen it yet. Cut me some slack, I was busy last weekend and, besides, this looks like garbage. I mean, that clearly hasn't stopped me from going to anything this past year, as you may be able to tell, but everything I hear about this film just fills me with dread and bile. Ugh, just bring on Gone Girl already, please.
Only a 46% drop between weekends which bodes incredibly well for its long-term financial prospects. And it's also apparently pretty good? That last part bodes well for its critical prospects with myself, but we'll have to see. Besides, it's not like I'm not seeing it in two weeks. What am I gonna skip it for? Annabelle? In the words of one Lana Kane: NNNOOOOPPEE!
Dammit, people! "Good, not great" does not equate to "skip it almost entirely"! In fact, what do you all seem to have against stop-motion animation? Not one has been able to break past the $18 million opening barrier (unless you count the wide-release expansion of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride which, as you may have already guessed, I do not); what gives? Why are you not enamoured by the medium? What, do you hate seeing love, effort and attention being lavished on every frame? Look, I am not leaving here until I get answers as to why The Motherf*cking Nut Job opened with more cashola than The Boxtrolls did!
Now, on the one hand, this film has only had a 40% drop between weekends. On the other hand, there's a difference between third and fourth place of over $10 million. I'm just saying, it looks bad.
Oh, Christ, I have to watch the first one of these before Friday, don't I? Dammit, I don't have time! I have been busy! I still am busy! Why did there have to be a sequel to Dolphin Tale, for f*ckssake?!
6] No Good Deed
Well, it could be worse. It could be a film version of Kevin Williamson's new TV show, Stalker.
7] A Walk Among The Tombstones
An almost literal plummeting of 67%. Seems like Liam Neeson will not be becoming the next Denzel Washington any time soon. Both with regards to box office and also with regards to the fact that, for the most part, his films are actually good. Yeah, I went there.
Now officially the third highest grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe film domestically, having passed the original Iron Man last weekend. Worldwide, it's still only at number five, but it should pass Thor: The Dark World soon enough, seeing as there is still the very lucrative China market still to go. On a related note: man, did Thor: The Dark World have foreign legs or what? I mean, I loved it (unlike pretty much everyone else I talked to) but I didn't picture it as the kind of film that would do as extremely well as it did.
9] Let's Be Cops
This is still making money? How?! Who in their right mind decides, on the seventh week of its release, to go and see Let's Be Cops again, or even for the first time? What, did those involved go, "Well, Ferguson has been on the back-burner for a while, I can watch this without it weighing on my conscience" or something? Cos, news flash, that's still going too! Never let it be said that this feature doesn't keep you in the loop with regards to current events.
10] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Go, ninja, go, ninja, go! Go, ninja, go, ninja, go! Far, far, far, far, far away, if possible, please.
Dropped Out: The Drop, If I Stay
Callum Petch can only ask himself, oh where you all are going. Follow him on the Twitters (@CallumPetch)!
2014A Walk Among The TombstonesBox OfficeBox Office ReportCallum PetchCoralineDolphin Tale 2Guardians of the GalaxyIf I StayLet's Be CopsNo Good DeedParaNormanPrideTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesThe BoxtrollsThe DropThe EqualizerThe Maze RunnerThe Skeleton TwinsThis Is Where I Leave You
The Maze Runner out-runs the competition, audiences leave This Is Where I Leave You, refuse to invite in The Guest, and ask Tusk to go away, and Other Box Office News.
In what should come as a surprise to pretty much no-one, giving audiences the opportunity to watch brand new movies at the cinema stimulates box office income. Therefore, this past weekend was the most alive the American box office has been in a good month or so. Leading the charge was The Maze Runner, working title "Attempt To Capture That Harry Potter/Twilight/Hunger Games Lightning Again #749", and its status as the first new Event Film to come along since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles paid dividends as it cruised easily to first place with $32 million in ticket sales. That's a pretty good opening, although it's nowhere close to Divergent levels ($50 mil) and I imagine that 20th Century Fox will have wanted it a bit higher in general. That sequel is still going ahead, though, so I guess this is another bunch of interchangeable pretty faces and stupid character names that I'm going to have to learn. Swell.
Fairing a lot worse, we have the Liam Neeson-fronted A Walk Among The Tombstones and perhaps Neeson-fatigue is setting in, as this one could only manage $13 million for second place. Now, yes, that is a second place opening but, more importantly, that's only $13 million. Maybe people are just sick of seeing Liam Neeson vehicles every 12-or-so months, or maybe everybody saw the trailer and correctly said to themselves, "Great! Thanks for that! Now I don't need to see the movie!" Below that we have the Shawn Levy-directed dramedy This Is Where I Leave You, starring pretty much any well-liked American comedic actor primarily found on television that you can think of, which could only muster a little under $12 million in tickets and which continues Mr. Levy's failed attempts to be seen as anything other than "The Director Of The Night At The Museum Movies".
Meanwhile, artier cinemas practically groaned under the weight of new debuts filling their boots this past weekend. Audiences of said cinemas proceeded to groan in exasperated derision in the general direction of Tusk, the first of what currently amounts to 4 films that Kevin Smith postponed his retirement to make (although, this being Kevin Smith, I wouldn't be surprised to see that number jump up to 11 by the time I finish this sentence). Advertising was supposedly only focussed on Kevin Smith fans, and I get the feeling that an opening weekend total of $886,000 from 602 screens (for a per-screen average of $1,472) accurately displays the amount of patience that Kevin Smith fans have left for Kevin Smith nowadays. Still, could be worse. Could be an action film about 15 year-old yoga aficionados starring Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp's daughter and Kevin Smith's dau… that's exactly what his next film is? For fu…
In sadder limited release news; audiences, for some utterly bizarre reason, decided to collectively stay away from writer Simon Barrett and director Adam Wingard's latest, despite it being one of the best films of the year so far. The Guest only managed to bank $82,100 from 19 screens for a per-screen average of $4,321, which is decidedly average. Of course, if you add on Wednesday and Thursday, that total goes up to $111,700, but that's still not enough for me, goddammit! Everybody should watch The Guest al-frickin-ready! Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem, meanwhile, finally got its US debut this week and, fittingly for a Terry Gilliam movie where nothing seemed to go catastrophically wrong during the production process, it crashed and burned at cinemas with only $82,000 from 63 screens and a $1,302 per screen average because the man is CURSED!
Beating both of them in terms of audience demand was Hector & The Search For Happiness which took $46,000 from 4 screens for a per-screen average of $11,500. Goddammit, America.
Take a walk among the Full List.
Box Office Results: Friday 19th September 2014 – Sunday 21st September 2014
OK, I was rather overly mean when I referred to The Maze Runner's cast as "interchangeable pretty faces" earlier. There are actually a fair few I recognise from other places. Like, look, it's Will Poulter from Son Of Rambow and Wild Bill (and also Plastic, which we don't talk about)! And there's Thomas Sangster, otherwise known as Jojen from Game Of Thrones and Ferb from Phineas & Ferb! Kaya Scodelario from Skins has found the vehicle to bring her worldwide mainstream attention! So you know what? Even if this film sucks uncontrollably (which it may not, it's not out here in the UK for another three weeks), I'll be glad it exists, letting me know that talented people are getting steady paycheques for the next few years!
My review, for those of you who have seen the trailer but are still undecided. Will point out that if you have seen the trailer, you have basically seen the movie. The only things it doesn't show, not kidding here, are the identities of the killers (which the film promptly gives up on hiding about 45 minutes in, anyway) and the fact that Brian "Astro" Bradley from Earth To Echo is also in this. It's not a bad film (it's pretty good but totally forgettable), but there's no reason to turn up if you only see films for the plot and have been exposed to the trailer.
Disappointed to hear that this one is bad. I realise that stacked casts mean absolutely nothing if the material isn't fantastic or engaging (I learnt that one the hard way when Tomas Alfredson's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy did absolutely nothing for me), but that still won't stop me from being bummed out when I hear that a film with Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Adam Driver and Jane Fonda is exactly as disappointing as the underwhelming trailer threatened it to be.
A pretty precipitous 58% drop between weekends, perhaps as word got around that the "GIANT SHOCKING TWIST" the marketing company pivoted the film on at the last minute could have been figured out by anyone within two minutes of hearing about the film's premise. I mean, take away the "GIANT SHOCKING TWIST" hook and all you've got to sell the film with is that it looks offensively awful which, as marketing hooks go, is not exactly a strong base to sucker punters in with.
Dolphin Tale 1 used its second weekend to leapfrog to the top of the chart. Just saying: don't expect a Dolphin Tale Part III.
So… what's Chris Pratt's flaw? You know what I'm talking about. The man's pretty much perfect. He's a talented actor, he's very funny, a total beefcake and a half, he's charitable, he steals his costume from film sets so he can visit kid's cancer wards dressed as said characters, and he can spit Eminem's verse from Dr. Dre's "Forgot About Dre" at double speed at the drop of a hat. So, what's his flaw? What's wrong with him? Does he have a pile of dead bodies buried in his wine cellar? If I have learnt anything these past few years, it's that anybody who seems amazing or cool or perfect is actually a complete sh*tbag in some department!
Except Anna Kendrick. For, as we all know, Anna Kendrick is a goddess who can do no wrong, sent down from heaven to remind us all that the world is not completely without merit.
Well, this has been a pretty poor year for comedy, hasn't it? I count 22 Jump Street, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Bad Neighbours (and, if you really want to stretch the comedy definition, The Double) as the only ones that have been great, and everything else (with the exception of The Inbetweeners 2, which was just good) has been meh to awful. I know that this is usually the ratio for comedy every year anyway, but it hurts extra bad this year because there have been so many of them. You'd figure that at least a few more would hit it out of the park to some degree.
8] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This list is based off of the Weekend Estimates and I expect that these two may actually swap positions when the Actuals come in, it being that close between the pair and all. Do not expect me to update this list if they do, though. My time is far too occupied with watching and writing about the crappy period in DreamWorks Animation's lifespan to take 10 minutes out of my life to writing a new pithy addition should such a thing occur. Accept it and move on.
9] The Drop
$2,050,000 / $7,690,000
Don't make the obvious joke. Don't make the obvious joke. Don't make the obvious joke.
10] If I Stay
Hey! It actually outlasted The Fault In Our Stars after all! Way to… go… bad movie… ah, crap. At least Chloë Grace Moretz has a decently-performing box office success to add to her resume! Now she can go back to starring in great movies that I li… "She's appearing in that dull-looking Denzel Washington-starring film reboot of The Equalizer next week?" (*flips table in frustration and storms off*)
Dropped Out: The November Man, The Giver, The Hundred-Foot Journey
Callum Petch is trying to cuss and see, trying to figure it out. Follow him on the Twitters (@CallumPetch)!

No Good Deed goes without an accompanying first-place victory, America shrugs at Atlas Shrugged Part III, Dolphin Tale had a sequel, and Other Box Office News.
Hey! It finally happened! Americans were finally given films to see that weren't Guardians Of The Galaxy! Unfortunately, in their combined crazed panic to get to the cinema and see these new films, lest they be taken away at the last second and they end up having to see Guardians yet again for the 27th goddamn time, American moviegoers failed to realise that most of the films that they were seeing were actually utter sh*t. But, hey, when has that ever stopped anything from becoming popular, right? In first place is No Good Deed, the Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson starring home invasion thriller that absolutely does not have anything disagreeable going on under the surface no siree bob, with $24.5 million in ticket sales. Behind that we have Dolphin Tale 2, a sequel to Dolphin Tale and one I whose existence I will never not be bewildered by, which managed to con $16.5 million worth of families out of their monies because they don't have Netflix in those far flung corners of the country (along with electricity, heat, and running water) and had to take what entertainment they could get.
In the more limited release-y side of proceedings, The Drop, a crime drama starring Tom Hardy and featuring James Gandolfini's final role, succeeded best out of being the one released in the most screens, managing to break into the Top 10 with $4.2 million banked. As for those films that didn't have that luxury benefit of a screen count that barely counts as "limited"; awards-season-hopeful that-will-be-nominated-for-jack-sh*t-because-it-was-released-too-early The Skeleton Twins did the best of the bunch taking $411,000 from 15 screens for a $27,000 per-screen average. Next up is My Old Lady, a comedy-drama that looks conspicuously lacking in both comedy and drama but managed to overcome those handicaps to take $134,000 from 11 screens, for a per-screen average of $12,182. After that we have The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby, the smushed-together cut of a romance-drama that is supposed to have its separate "Him" and "Her" cuts (which view events exclusively through the perspective of him or her) released at some point but you know the Weinsteins, which disappeared $77,200 from moviegoers pockets at 4 separate screens. Ha. Ha.
In the midst of all of this, though, spare a thought for poor old Atlas Shrugged Part III: Who Is John Galt? The final instalment in the film adaptation of Ayn Rand's landmark novel that continued pressing on regardless of the fact that audiences said "no" twice before, having to raise the second film's budget by selling the debt of the first one due to it bombing spectacularly, and taking to Kickstarter to fund the finale (not joking), escaped into the wild, this week. Now, normally, I'd sit here and laugh ultra-derisively at its pathetic opening of $355,000 from 242 cinemas (for comparison, Atlas Shrugged Part 1 opened on 299 screens in 2011 and made $1.6 million), but I kinda pity the thing more than anything. Everyone involved kept shouldering on, regardless of the financial bombs, the critical paddling, and the fact that they had to replace the entire cast between each film, because they wanted to tell their story. They desperately wanted to tell the story of Atlas Shrugged on the big screen and they weren't going to let such a little thing as "repeated total systemic failure" get in their way! That's kinda admirable, in a deluded way, and I applaud them for keeping on! Then I remember that the movies are absolute garbage and return to laughing at their quixotic endeavour.
Elsewhere, As Above, So Below bottomed out spectacularly in only its third week, slipping from sixth to twelfth; The Trip To Italy, otherwise known as "the cut-down film version of The Trip's second series for fat stupid Americans with short attention spans", extended its reach to 71 more screens and managed to take another $481,000 overall; The Identical, otherwise known as last week's only new release, plummeted from an already dreadful opening by 75%; and Guardians Of The Galaxy became the first film this year to cross $300 million domestic. Which, you know, is a sign that Hollywood is f*cked and all that. Rather than deservedly doom-mongering for a couple of minutes, though, can we at least just celebrate the fact that a brilliant goddamn movie is making serious money, with China still to go? … … … …OK, that's long enough.
This full list just broke into your house and is standing right behind you. I'm joking, of course. But one day, I might not be.
So, this is a film in which a big scary black man basically forces his way into a small defenceless woman's home and tortures her mentally and physically for about 70 of the film's 85 minutes? Nope, can't see anything wrong with that set-up! Absolutely nothing that makes it tone-deaf in today's societal climate! Not at all! Thank goodness the woman was black instead of white, otherwise then, and only then, would things have just crossed the line of good taste!
Right, I want answers, which of you asked for a sequel to Dolphin Tale? Who honestly left the cinema after seeing the first film three years ago and went, "I need a sequel to that yesterday!" Who was it? Was it any of you on the Failed Critics staff? Was it you, Shawky? Don't try to deny it! You're the kind of guy who has seen Guardians Of The Galaxy 18 times in the cinema! Seeing this there once would not surprise me in the slightest!
Speaking of, I finally fulfilled my promise to my cousins to get them to the cinema to see this, this past weekend. They loved it, the elder one even forgot he had sweets for the entire first hour of the movie because he was so transfixed by the film on display. They both declared it "BEST FILM EVER" which I imagine was just as much because it was my treat as well as it being a great damn movie, but it was still refreshing to see just how much of an impact a good film can have on younger children who haven't hit the "jaded teenager" mark yet. Ah, to be young…
Oh, sorry. Forgot for a sec that you don't give a sh*t about my personal life. Moving on.
On the subject of films with uncomfortable treatments and scenarios for women, is anyone else really kinda disturbed by how the turtles treat April O'Neal in this trailer? They tower over her, menacingly intimidate her, one of them lays claim to her, and then they all threaten to "find her" if she reveals their existence. Err… our heroes, ladies and gentlemen? Maybe things are better in the finished film but, this being a film with Michael Bay involved in some capacity, I'm not holding my breath.
So, I suspect that we will be getting that sequel notification any day now. Oh, you think there won't be one? We are just two months away from a sequel to Horrible Bosses and seven months away from Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. We will be getting a sequel to Let's Be Cops, just wait for it.
Yay! Tom Hardy's starring in movies again! Which reminds me, I need to get around to seeing Locke. Would have seen it already, I love me a film with a purposely constraining premise, but it never came to any of my cinemas. Also, last time we'll see James Gandolfini in a role. 😦 At least this gives me an excuse to link you to his scenes from In The Loop. Not that I need the excuse, mind.
7] If I Stay
Just one more week in the Top 10 and it beats The Fault In Our Stars' run! Let it have this one, America. It's going to spend the rest of its life being unfavourably compared to that film, in terms of quality, financial success, impact and staying power; might as well give it this one break. Course, there are 4 wide release films next week, so that's pretty unlikely, but wouldn't it be something if it did succeed? And what if it beat The Maze Runner into bloody submission! Oh, wouldn't that be something!
8] The November Man
Right, forget this crap; have you seen the trailer for John Wick yet? Tell me you have! It is the most brilliantly ridiculous nonsense! If you somehow don't want to see this film immediately after watching this trailer, then you and I are no longer on speaking terms. In fact, I'm going to embed the trailer below this entry so that there is no possible way for you to miss it!
9] The Giver
Oh. Sh*t. Right. So, I didn't actually expect this one to stick around this week, which means that my world-beating pun from last week is now rendered premature and wasted. Fantastic. F*ck you very much, The Giver.
10] The Hundred-Foot Journey
HIS DOG WAS A GIFT FROM HIS DYING WIFE AND THE BAD GUYS KILLED IT!! That is pure gold, folks! Why are you not as hyped for that crap as I am?!

Brewers season ends in Wildcard Playoffs
October 2, 2020 By Bill Scott
The inability to score runs almost cost the Milwaukee Brewers a trip to the playoffs. Once they got there, the lack of offense is what did them in.
Clayton Kershaw allowed just three hits and struck out 13 in eight innings of work to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-0 win over the Brewers, sweeping their best-of-three National League Wildcard series two-games-to-none.
The Dodgers advanced to the National League Division Series in Arlington, Texas, against the winner of St. Louis and San Diego (game 3 Friday night).
Kershaw issued just one walk, to Luis Urias in the eighth inning, then picked him off of first base.
Brandon Woodruff was spectacular through four innings for the Brewers, striking out nine Dodgers. His only blemish in the hit column was an Austin Barnes single in the fourth. But the Dodgers broke out in the fifth.
Cody Bellinger and Chris Taylor had back-to-back singles. A.J. Pollock grounded into a fielder's choice to third as Urias stepped on the bag for the force but his throw to first was in the dirt and couldn't be gloved by Jedd Gyorko. Barnes singled to drive in a run, then Mookie Betts doubled into the left-field corner to add two more runs, giving the Dodgers a 3-0 lead.
That chased Woodruff, who allowed three runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings. As he walked off the mound, Woodruff yelled at home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott, who ejected him. Woodruff was upset when he thought he had strike three on Barnes but it was called a ball.
The Brewers ended up striking out 28 times in the two games. In their last 11 games (3-8), including the two playoff games, the Brewers scored just 20 runs. They finished with an overall record of 29-33.

Vilnius, Lithuania-headquartered aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) airline Avion Express has reported increase in the production results helped by fleet expansion and productivity gains in the first half of 2018.
During the first six months of this year, the Avion Express narrow-body fleet has flown almost 22,000 block-hours, a 17 per cent year-on-year increase.
In late July, Avion Express hit another milestone: the company's fleet set a new daily production record of more than 250 flown block-hours, which is more than 25 per cent above the previous milestone set last year.
Production growth reflects the overall performance of the company, notes Darius Kajokas, Avion Express' chief executive. "We have expanded our fleet by more than 10 per cent since last year's summer season," he reveals.
This summer, Avion Express has started operations for the Lufthansa-Turkish Airlines joint venture SunExpress in Antalya, Turkey. Avion is also continuing its partnership with Thomas Cook and its daughter company Condor in a lease arrangement involving 12 Avion Express Airbus A320 family aircraft flying for those clients both in the UK and in Germany.
Avion Express was created in 2005, initially as Nordic Solutions Air Services, to operate SAAB 340 turboprop cargo and passenger aircraft. It was re-branded to Avion Express in 2008 and, in 2011, introduced its first Airbus A320 passenger aircraft, to eventually become one of the largest narrow-body ACMI operators in the region, now working with clients in Europe, South America and Asia-Pacific. It stopped working with Cuba's troubled flag carrier Cubana de Aviación recently and currently lists no customers in the Caribbean region.
In its 2018 offering, Avion Express has a total of one A319, 12 A320s and five A321 aircraft. | {

#WhenTrustIsBroken
Dare To Believe When Trust Is Broken
Our core trust should be in the Lord and him alone. He will never let us down.
We also have to trust our leaders, our parents, and friends and so on. So what do you do when that trust is broken? What does a husband/wife do when their partner cheats? What does a parent do when their child is raped/molested by a relative or friend? What can you do when you are betrayed by your family members? What do you do when a Pastor divulges privileged information that you shared trusting they are your leader? What do you do when your leaders offend you? What do you do when a congregant betrays you as a pastor?
I can go on and on with these questions. The point is that somewhere in the course of our lives people who we have trusted will let us down. We don't like to talk about sour topics but we can't run away from them. At a certain point in our lives trust will be broken.
Let's take Joseph as an example. His brothers were jealous of him and wanted to kill him but eventually sold him into slavery. Let's take a look at the story in Genesis 37:23-36
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
Can you even begin to imagine what was going on in Joseph's mind at this point? His own brothers had sold him into slavery. Apart from the degradation of the favored son of an influential man being made a slave, think of the heartbreak and agony of knowing your own family has sold you into slavery.
Now in this case Joseph's brothers betrayed both their brother and their father. At the time the father did not know what had transpired but Joseph did and I can only begin to imagine his thoughts and feelings on his way to Egypt. Being in chains did not help the situation.
Life eventually gets better for Joseph. He begins to rise in the house of his master Potiphar. However a problem arises as Potiphar's wife continually seduces him to sleep with her but he refuses. The wife eventually accuses Joseph of trying to rape her and he is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. This is the second time that the trust was broken. If Joseph had been someone else he would have easily given up on life. The challenge of having trust broken is if you are not careful it changes your perspective of life, it changes the way you see people.
So Joseph is in prison. And a third opportunity arises for him to trust again. He interprets the dreams of the baker and wine bearer of Pharaoh. He tells the wine bearer that once he is restored to his post according to the interpretation of Joseph he should make mention of Joseph to Pharaoh. Unfortunately the wine bearer forgets Joseph and for the third time trust is broken again. It took 2 full years for the wine bearer to remember Joseph and this only after Pharaoh had a dream that his astrologers and magicians could not interpret. Can you imagine what went through Joseph's head during these two years? Joseph was strong in faith!
We have to be strong in faith. We have to Dare To Believe that no matter what is done to us by other people, God sees all we go through and he will pull us through and raise us up. I understand why Joseph is in faith's hall of fame. He was truly a man of faith.
Now here is the climax of the whole story. You will need to read Genesis 42-45, I will just glean gems from this whole story. In Genesis 42 the brothers of Joseph are sent to Egypt seeking grain. Joseph recognizes them but he does not immediately reveal himself to them. He had to test them first. When someone breaks your trust do not just quickly go back to them or give them your heart again, you have to observe them from a distance and go through a period of testing if they are worth you giving them your trust again. That is what Joseph did. First he spoke roughly to them. Why did he do this, he wanted to see their reaction. Remember Joseph knew his brothers very well. So he had to see if their hearts had changed or if they were still the same old same old. When someone has broken your trust you have to test them first to see if they are worth you trusting them again. Don't be foolish and just trust again without proper due diligence.
Next he puts them all in prison for 3 days. This was all a test. On the third day he takes the brothers out of prison but then takes Simeon and keeps him in prison as security to ensure that the brothers would return. What is he doing here? He is trying to see where their loyalties lie. He is trying to bring out what is in their hearts. He also then puts back their monies that had come with to buy grain in Egypt. Before you trust again you have to really find out if a person has changed. Joseph had learnt his lessons. His trust had been broken 3 times and he had to make sure. But he still was believing for the best. That is what we have to do, we have to believe for the best in people but all this is done in wisdom.
The brothers return after some time, this time they return with the youngest brother Benjamin. They had not come with him on the first trip. Joseph new how he had been treated and he knew that Benjamin had taken his place as his father's favorite. So now he had to put the brothers through one more test. He brings them into his house and serves them to a meal. He puts a penta-portion in Benjamin's plate. Why is he doing this? He wants to see his brother's reaction to seeing the younger brother being favored while they were treated ordinarily. Oh my Joseph was a man of wisdom. You have to focus on the weaknesses of the person who broke your trust before you can give them your trust again. Why do this? Because you want to test if they have changed yet. If they have not yet changed then they are not worth you giving them your trust again for it will surely be broken!
The final test is in Genesis 44. Joseph wants to see if his brothers have truly changed. He creates a scenario where he Benjamin is at fault and he wants to take him and says all the brothers can go their way. If they had not yet changed they would just have left Benjamin at the mercy of Joseph. But the brothers had changed. And that is all that Joseph needed to know. After this final test he then trusts the brothers again. When trust is broken its easy to get bitter and want revenge but you have to DARE TO BELIEVE and forgive and work towards building that trust again.
Whatever has been done to you I want you to know that in God there is redemption. Let us DARE TO BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!! | {

Akad. malíř Jan Grimm (17. dubna 1943 Praha – 3. září 2012 Litoměřice) byl český malíř a litoměřický inspirátor pozvednutí odkazu Karla Hynka Máchy.
Život
Akademii výtvarných umění absolvoval v Praze ve škole Františka Jiroudka, který ovlivnil jeho dílo německým neoxpresionismem. Prošel pražskou Akademií v době, kdy se na škole obměňoval pedagogický sbor. Umělce, jejichž tvorba kulminovala ve 20. a 30. letech 20. století, vystřídali příslušníci Skupiny 42 a Sedm v říjnu – všechno silné osobnosti s výrazným vlivem na něho, jako studenta. Své obrazy vystavoval v mnoha prestižních galeriích. Žil v Litoměřicích, kde se projevil rovněž jako organizátor kulturních akcí. Zrestauroval litoměřickou kulturní památku ve středu města na Mírovém náměstí – dům Salva Guarda. Ten se stal, ve spolupráci s jeho občanským sdružením Salva Guarda, živým kulturním centrem města. Zde také provozoval galerii Salva Guarda, kde pořádal výstavy i hudební akce. Projevil se jako pořadatel jazzových večerů, ve kterých se vystřídali osobnosti jako Jiří Kudrman, Svatopluk Košvanec, Abrhámovi a další.
Od roku 1998 byl předsedou kulturní komise města Litoměřice. Zorganizoval několik ročníků Výtvarných salonů, z nichž jeden byl v místním nepoužívaném vlakovém tunelu – originální výstavní síni, do něho instaloval i vagón.
V Litoměřicích se zasadil i o realizaci odhalení sochy K. H. Máchy od Josefa Václava Myslbeka.
Zemřel v pondělních ranních hodinách 3. září 2012 ve věku šedesáti devíti let. Poslední rozloučení s ním se konalo v sobotu 8. září v katedrále sv. Štěpána v Litoměřicích.

Immigrant Rights Advocates Call on Congress, ICE to Stop Lockup Quotas
By Michael Oleaga First Posted: Jun 12, 2015 12:09 PM EDT
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, one of three federal immigration groups within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), oversees the detention of hundreds of thousands of people charged with civil immigration violations, per year, but the detainment practices has been further criticized in a new report by immigrant rights advocates.
In a report titled "Banking On Detention: Local Lockup Quotas and the Immigrant Dragnet," by Detention Watch Network (DWN) and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), it emphasized on ICE's detainment quota, which have been set by Congress. As the report noted, in 2009, Congress "implemented a requirement to fund a minimum number of beds [currently 34,000 beds] dedicated to detention at any given time in its annual appropriations bill." The congressional policy has been referred to as the "national detention bed quota," and the detainment has since increased every year from 383,524 during the 2009 fiscal year to 477,000 in the 2012 fiscal year.
The report stated ICE was "under pressure" to increase immigration detention beds during each fiscal year after the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 required the increase. Also under pressure by congressional lawmakers -- namely Republicans from Kentucky and Texas -- that there were plenty of empty beds, then-House Subcommittee on Homeland Security Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said he did not want an empty bed. By 2009, Congress formally introduced a national bed quota, and it must be filled.
The CCR and DWN report stated, "Over time, congressional frustration over empty beds has grown. In April 2015, after a heated exchange with ICE Director Sarah Saldaña, Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, suggested that the current quota language be altered to replace the word 'maintain' with 'fill.'"
Local lockup quotas for immigrants were also in place due to "guaranteed minimums," which are "contractual provisions that obligate ICE to pay for a minimum number of immigration detention beds at specific facilities." This concept, however, predated the national lockup quota.
"Because guaranteed minimums require payment to private contractors whether beds are filled or not, they function as local lockup quotas, incentivizing ICE to fill detention beds because of the contract stipulation," the report continued. "Present exclusively in contracts with private companies, the growth of local lockup quotas is inextricably linked to the rise of corporate interests in immigration detention.
"The detention of immigrants has become big business and a source of profit, yet comes with a significant moral and financial cost for everyone involved," said DWN Co-Director Silky Shah. "Local quotas with private contractors and the infrastructure of detention itself have driven this market: all at a huge expense to families detained arbitrarily and to taxpayers footing the bill."
As CCR and DWN noted, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Phoenix, Miami, Seattle, Houston, San Diego, Buffalo, New Orleans and Newark are major cities with local lockup quotas.
"Local lockup quotas depend on a lack of government transparency about how these contractual arrangements deprive individuals of liberty," said Ghita Schwarz, senior staff attorney at CCR. "These contracts provide incentives not only to detain large numbers of immigrants, but also to detain them in specific facilities, no matter how far they are from an individual's community."
"When immigrants are detained far from home in order to serve a local lockup quota, they lose access to families, attorneys, and resources that could help them fight their detention or deportation," added Schwarz in a statement.
DWN and CCR issued recommendations for ICE to implement. In addition to removing guaranteed minimums and any provisions that could function as a local lockup quota, recommendations include further transparency on all detention contracts, bar transfer of detainees between detention facilities, manipulation of bond or parole determinations and for Congress to remove the national detention bed quota from the DHS' 2016 fiscal year appropriations bill.

The first weekend of winter season is full of surprises. The fil rouge between the Symphoniacs, the artist Alessandro Galanti and the reality of luxury Kraler: classicism reinterpreted in a modern key. The ensemble of young virtuosos involves the audience in a live psychedelic performance, with instruments of the symphonic tradition. Galanti with his "Madre Natura" (Mother Nature) combines the sinuosity and the beauty, quasi Botticellian, of the golden work, shaping a dense plot of virtual reality. The Kraler family, at the forefront of the latest fashion trends, enhances its roots while continuing to safeguard traditions with perseverance, commitment and seriousness. Necessary values to maintain success.
Franz Kraler's luxury mosaic is enriched with new pieces: an important restyling of the recently inaugurated Corso Italia 119 department store will include the new Gucci and Saint Laurent corners and new areas dedicated to Burberry and Loewe. Exclusive footwear will be presented to Franz Kraler from Hogan, Jimmy Choo and Roger Vivier. And special showcases and fittings will be created ad hoc by Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Tod's Factory by Alessandro Dell'Acqua and Salvatore Ferragamo to seal the partnership with the multibrand of Cortina, that – in view of the upcoming winter championships 2021 and the candidacy, with Milan, at the 2026 Olympics – is increasingly the protagonist of the world scene.
Saturday, December 8 will be presented the sculpture of Alessandro Galanti "Madre Natura", a woman figure with hands clasped to the sky, in gold-plated metal, built on a spruce's stump eradicated during the last flood in the Belluno area. A network that recalls the natural fibers, the lifeblood of each plant. A hymn to life and to struggle against suffering, and an invitation to respect nature in all its forms. The artist, recognized for his works of social criticism, was the protagonist at Palazzo Madama with the exhibited work "Omaggio ad Ilenia" (Homage to Ilenia), on the occasion of the international day of the UN for the elimination of violence against women.
Down the road of Corso Italia, a constellation of FK dedicated to men's and women's fashion tells a story of courage and efficiency, but above all of taste and passion, the result of a rewarding strategy that focuses on territory and customer. Not just a luxury cathedral, but a ritual experience that wants to bring the act of buying back to the "touch dress" rather than the "touch screen" in a Middle European atmosphere.
And the Symphoniacs come just from the culture of Middle Europe. The international electro-classical project, of the Berliner producer, composer and artist, Andy Leomar, will be presented for the first time in Italy by Franz Kraler. Seven young talented rebels among violinists, cellists and pianists from all over the world contaminate classical music with electronic pieces in a effervescent symphonic pop, revisiting Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" in a funk and groove key. A "club of visionaries", a global network of soloists from the major international philharmonic orchestras: New York, London, Seoul, Moscow, Copenhagen, Berlin, Vienna. A musical crossover, whose members are gathered by a shared passion: to challenge the boundaries with their electro-symphonic folly and to open new paths in music. | {

A: The <p> element has some top margin by default. Add a CSS rule to reset just the first paragraph like this:
p:first-of-type {
margin-top:0;
}
A: I agree with Austin that p: first-of-type { margin-top:0; } fixes the issue.
My approach to troubleshooting this issue would have been to remove all p tags temporarily ... in other words filled all columns with just straight "Lorem ipsum" text without any p tags. When you do that top of all columns line up immediately ... so that way then you know for certain it was a p tag formatting issue.

Get Plumper, Fuller Lips for just $399!
Must mention this special when booking appointment.
Everyone's skin ages differently and JUVÉDERM® XC can be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas. From smile lines to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours. Learn more about the individual treatment areas by scrolling through the list below.
Smile lines, or nasolabial folds, run vertically from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth. This is a popular treatment area that many women seek help with.
After all, parentheses have a place but not on your face!
Marionette lines are the vertical facial wrinkles and folds that form below the corners of the mouth. These lines can sometimes give the appearance of sagging and/or a downturned expression.
Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds - like the parentheses lines around your nose and mouth.
Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin's primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial folds occur within the dermis.
For a smooth, comfortable experience combined with long-lasting results, don't wait - ask your doctor about JUVÉDERM® XC treatment today.
Because JUVÉDERM® XC is a simple, nonsurgical wrinkle treatment, there is minimal recovery and downtime (and the results are instant!).* So you can make an appointment to stop by your healthcare professional's office for treatment on the way home from work or the gym, or even while the kids are at soccer practice—and get right back to your daily routine. Here's what to expect when you visit your healthcare professional's office for treatment.
We recommend that you avoid any medications that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), for at least a week prior to receiving the treatment for wrinkles in order to reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding at the injection site. Ask your healthcare professional what he or she recommends.
Anesthetic may not be needed prior to treatment since JUVÉDERM® XC is specially formulated with lidocaine (a type of anesthetic) to improve comfort during treatment. Your Provider may also elect to use a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area before the injections. The procedure is quick and easy and the results are instant!* The injection itself usually takes only about 15 minutes.
You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas.* Most patients need one injectable dermal filler treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing and improve skin volume. Just one treatment with JUVÉDERM® XC can smooth away your wrinkles for up to 1 year!* However, results from injectable dermal fillers may vary and correction is temporary. Supplemental "touch up" treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal correction of your wrinkles and folds. | {

"Your customer might forget about your name but not your metal business card. Foot print for sure!"
Thank you Rory for writing a review. And you are 100% correct! Thank you for choosing Metal Business Cards! We look forward to helping you again in the future.
"I am an Interior Designer and a stickler to precision. Metalbusinesscards took my design into consideration and made it work, naturally with a few revisions, but in the end I got exactly what I wanted. They are patient and helpful. I was completely happy with the end product! Thank you!"
"We had Metal Business Cards design a new card for us since we have recently re-branded our product. The business card is hands down the most professional card I have ever seen. It will set us apart from the other service providers. Thank you very much. We are extremely impressed. "
Jean we are so glad to hear you love the cards. Our artists, customer care, and production teams work hard to provide a service and product that surpasses expectations. We are glad to see we met our goal with you. Thanks again for the kind words as it's music to our ears. Take care and feel free to reach out to us anytime. Thanks.
"An extremely cost effective and efficient way to impress your clients and to keep you in the forethought of their mind. If you want to be taken seriously, in business, buy this card."
"I wish to offer my deep gratitude for the outstanding service, prompt response and quality work from Metal Business cards! We were a bit anxious to get the products on hand once the order was placed but it was well worth the wait as everyone here at the Squadron LOVES the cards! I will highly recommend your business to everyone I know and look forward to making another purchase in the near future. respectfully, Mike C."
"The service, from beginning to end, has been matchless and extraordinarily professional. The caliber of service clearly matches the caliber of the product. This company also has a very talented design team in place who knows exactly what they are doing. Bottom line, they're not dealing with such high end clients fir no reason. That said, I am a very small business just getting started yet they've always made me feel like a very high end client. That says it all. The finished product is so impressive."
"I tried to handle a lot of the communication from my phone and had trouble signing off on issues we were working through, so would recommend using a desktop to evaluate the designers' rendition. Staff were awesome! Really appreciated the support provided. Both the paper and metal card came out amazing! The metal cards are expensive, but worth the investment. Bottom line, I have pushed your info to others and love the paper and metal business cards you provided."
"There was some confusion on our order, but that was probably me putting two orders together instead of a single request per email. Overall the cards look great, came pretty quick, and have been getting lots of good feedback. I look forward to future orders with several different companies."
"Love the Metal business cards, I got so many great responses when I handed my business cards out. I'm definitely going to order some more soon "
"We ordered metal business cards for our executive team. We were extremely pleased with the entire process and the end result. Their team was there with us the whole way, suggesting design ideas and ensuring we were in-tune to the whole process and timing of the receiving the cards. Every time we hand one of the cards out, the reaction is overwhelming positive and really makes and impression. We can't recommend metalbusinesscards.com enough!!"
"I really like the design of my cards! I was surprised how quickly they got back to me with a design concept. The customer service was fantastic and pricing was reasonable. Thank you so much!"
"My cards are a hit, you guys are fantastic"
"When I filled out the form I had no clue what sort of design I wanted, all I knew is I wanted the card to stand out. I was amazed at the level of detail they put into my design without a ton of input from me, made me feel really special. Would definitely recommend their service and this product!"
"The site says I have not gone and have and digitally signing through our systems is impossible"
metalbusinesscards.com tried to help this customer via the Shopper Approved Customer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond to the assistance provided.
"I went back and forth with design I tried to call several five's and got no call back finally got frustrated and just said yes send me what you got" | {

This Gas-Burning Power Plant Near Galveston Bay Could Change the Future of Clean Energy
NET Power says it can deliver zero-emission electricity to the Texas grid, but is its sustainable-energy business sustainable?
By Loren Steffy

Traveling down State Highway 225 in Deer Park, about twenty miles southeast of Houston, drivers can see a plume of flame shoot skyward from a massive Shell refinery, a blazing reminder of the environmental cost of zipping down the freeway in gas-burning cars and trucks. A few miles away, off West Fairmont Parkway in La Porte, near the upper end of Galveston Bay, a far smaller plant sits tucked behind a thicket of trees. It's hidden from passing motorists and the new homes nearby, and it doesn't spout anything at all. If its designers have their way, it—and others like it—never will.
This unique power plant is run by a North Carolina company called NET Power. Like many others in Texas and elsewhere, it burns natural gas to generate electricity. But unlike any other gas-burning plant in the world, the La Porte facility doesn't release any carbon emissions.
NET Power has been developing its process for generating carbon-free electricity since 2014, but its first test of delivering power—enough for about one thousand homes—to Texas's electrical grid last November was hailed as breakthrough by some in the industry, especially NET Power's bombastic CEO, Ron DeGregorio. "I believe firmly that we are changing the world with this technology," DeGregorio told me a few weeks after the successful November test, which he's compared to the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk. "We really have, in concept, a new engine," he said over a Zoom call from his home in Hobe Sound, Florida. "Just like what the steam engine was, or the internal combustion engine was, this is a new engine."
The plant is unique because it reuses most of the carbon dioxide that's produced from generating electricity and captures the rest, meaning it emits nothing into the atmosphere. "It's notable as an engineering achievement," said Michael Webber, a professor of energy resources at the University of Texas at Austin. "But it's particularly relevant for Texas [because] it is a low- or zero-carbon way to use natural gas." Indeed, if NET Power's approach catches on, it could make the burning of West Texas natural gas far more environmentally friendly than it is now.
Still, NET Power's carbon-free promises have a too-good-to-be-true ring to them. Other ballyhooed clean-energy saviors, such as cellulosic biofuels and flywheel energy storage, failed to live up to their early hype. So, proving that its technology works, as NET Power did last November, is just the first step. Making it as affordable—and as widely accepted—as conventional power generation may be a greater challenge. Stricter federal regulations and taxes on carbon emissions would help by raising costs on other electricity generators, but they are far from guaranteed in gridlocked Washington.
NET Power has some big energy-industry backers who are betting it will become a game changer even with that uncertainty. The company's investors include Exelon, one of the country's largest power generators; Houston-based Occidental Petroleum, one of the largest oil and gas producers in West Texas's Permian Basin; and Houston-based McDermott International, a global engineering and construction firm that specializes in projects for the energy industry. One of those backers, Exelon, has publicly advocated for the U.S. to adopt "carbon pricing" policies, which would function as something of a tax on carbon emissions. If the U.S. were to adopt carbon pricing, plants such as NET Power's would pay nothing while existing natural-gas power plants would either pay plenty or shoulder the high costs of retrofitting existing facilities to capture carbon emissions using devices such as scrubbers, which attach to smokestacks to collect carbon as it's released. But that's a big "if," considering that some powerful lawmakers oppose carbon pricing as well as other regulations on natural-gas power plants. That leaves NET Power "operating in uncertain policy territory," Webber said.
DeGregorio believes that uncertainty won't last forever. As more companies pledge to meet "net-zero" carbon emissions by 2050, he says it will become increasingly difficult to build conventional, CO2-belching power plants in many areas of the country. "It's only a matter of time," he says, "before a strong position can be made that you can't go build a plant unless you do it with this [NET Power's] technology, or you come up with very expensive back-end controls," such as carbon capture.

The Mystery of the West Texas Geyser Deepens
The science behind NET Power's plant is much more certain than the politics. The patents for NET Power's system are held by 8 Rivers Capital, a private equity group founded by Bill Brown, a former Morgan Stanley managing director, and Miles Palmer, a veteran of defense contractor SAIC. The pair set up the fund in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to develop clean coal technology. In 2014, they partnered with Exelon to begin developing the NET Power test facility in La Porte.
A typical "combined-cycle" power plant burns natural gas to turn turbines, and the hot exhaust is then used to heat water, which makes steam. That steam then drives another turbine that produces electricity. One by-product of all that is carbon dioxide. NET Power, though, employs a process developed by a British chemical engineer named Rodney Allam to remove the steam and recycle some of the CO2. Its plant works by feeding natural gas, pure oxygen, and carbon dioxide into a chamber and igniting the gas. The burning gas and oxygen reach 700 degrees Celsius, creating "supercritical carbon dioxide," which has liquid properties and drives a turbine that produces electricity.
NET Power cools and captures some of that supercritical CO2 while returning the rest to the beginning of the loop. Because the carbon dioxide is, by then, already heated, it requires less energy the next time around—and far less than required to convert water to steam. By burning pure oxygen, NET Power's plant also doesn't produce noxious by-products such as nitrogen oxides or sulfur dioxide, which can account for as much as 85 percent of conventional power plant emissions, according to Webber. The burning of oxygen, though, does produces one by-product: water.
Such water could be a boon to drought-prone regions where growing power demand and increasingly tight water supplies are on a collision course. "In places like West Texas, we could actually be a net producer of water," said NET Power president Charlie Bowser, a veteran of Exelon's nuclear power plants.
DeGregorio, also a former Exelon executive (he came out of retirement to run NET Power), says the company has already had inquiries from buyers interested in licensing its patented technology and using it to build commercial plants. It plans to license two types of facilities. One is an industrial-scale operation that will generate about 150 megawatts on-site to power large manufacturing plants. The other is a utility-scale operation that will produce about 300 megawatts at peak production, roughly enough to power 120,000 Texas homes. The company has five plants in development in the U.S., Canada, and the UK, but DeGregorio doesn't expect those commercial operations to enter service before 2025.
It remains to be seen how widespread NET Power's approach will become. The power industry has been slow to embrace new technology, preferring to use equipment and designs of proven reliability and, if necessary, retrofitting them to capture carbon. Around the world, only about twenty large-scale commercial carbon-capture projects exist. So far, the most common use for excess carbon is stimulating oil production—essentially capturing carbon to make more carbon. That's why getting a few plants built and operating will be critical to whether the NET Power technology catches on, Webber says.
In La Porte, NET Power proved it could put power on the grid through what is known in the industry as "carbon capture and storage," or CCS. But the La Porte facility is a test plant, with a maximum capacity of just 50 megawatts of thermal energy (25 megawatts of electricity). Commercial facilities would need to be capable of producing three to six times that much power to put a significant amount of electricity onto a state power grid. DeGregorio says that NET Power's electricity-generating process, when operational at that commercial level, will compete with conventional natural gas plants on cost. But there are caveats to his confidence. For one, NET Power will need to sell not only the electricity its plants produce but also the carbon dioxide they capture. There's a limited market for CO2 resale, although one of NET Power's backers, Occidental, happens to be a buyer of residual carbon dioxide. (Occidental injects CO2 deep underground into aging oil wells to boost oil production.)
To keep its power prices competitive, NET Power is also counting on piling up tax credits for carbon capture. The federal government today pays up to $50 for every ton of CO2 captured by power producers, and lawmakers this year have discussed raising that to $85 per ton for any plant that captures at least 75 percent of its carbon. Those discussions have their detractors, but NET Power, of course, would easily exceed that proposed threshold by capturing 100 percent.
All of that, DeGregorio figures, "makes me, on a cents-per-kilowatt-hour basis, competitive to" traditional gas-burning power plants. Without the tax credits and CO2 sales, however, NET Power would be about twice as expensive as the most efficient natural gas plants.
Among traditional natural-gas and coal generators, this dependence on tax credits is often derided as a "government subsidy." But all energy endeavors, even that of Texas's beloved crude oil, have received government help, including through generous tax breaks. As more companies struggle to meet carbon-reduction goals, NET Power's design could catch on. Yet its plants are going to have to put a lot more electricity on the grid, and keep it flowing for a lot longer, before it will.
Correction: This article previously misspelled the name of NET Power CEO Ron DeGregorio.

In 1947, two fruit flies were the first living creatures to be launched into space. In the 1950s, other animals including mice, monkeys, rabbits, and dogs reached space - some survived and some died on their journeys.
First animal to orbit Earth:
Laika the dog was launched into space on board Sputnik 2 in 1957. She survived the launch, but she sadly overheated due to a system failure on the satellite, and died some time later. Scientists were investigating the effects of spaceflight on animals, which eventually led to the first human in space.
First human in space:
Yuri Gagarin, an astronaut from Russia, was launched into space in 1961, on the Vostok 1 rocket. He completed an orbit around the Earth in 1 hour 45 minutes, and parachuted back down to the ground.

First woman in space:
Valentina Tereshkova, again an astronaut from Russia, was launched into space in 1963. She was a pilot on the Vostok 6 rocket. She completed 48 orbits of the Earth during her three days in space.
First space walk:
Russian astronaut Alexei Leonov was the first person to exit their spacecraft whilst in space. in 1965, he spent 12 minutes outside Voskhod 2, on a space walk 5 metres away from the spacecraft.
First man on the Moon:
Neil Armstrong walked on the moon on 20th July 1969, in the Apollo 11 mission. Buzz Aldrin, a second Apollo 11 crew member, became the second man on the moon on 21st July. Michael Collins, the third member of the Apollo 11 crew, remained inside the spacecraft orbiting the moon. | {

In space applications, thermal control, emissivity and absorptivity are critical factors to the optimum performance of space vehicles or satellites. Thermal control coatings (TCC) are designed to have specific radiative properties that are tailored for different specific missions. For example, for solar orbiters, a radiative surface coated with a white coating having low absorptance and high emissivity is required. Usually, variously colored coatings from white to black are used for thermal design. In general, the function of TCC is to reduce external heat absorption and/or to regulate radiant heat exchange between on-board equipment on spacecraft.
Black coatings with high emissivity and absorptance values are usually required for high temperature applications. As heat absorbing surfaces, they provide high absorptivity and emissivity properties. For example surfaces with black coatings with high emissivity can be used in the internal parts for equalizing the internal temperature, whereas external surfaces of spacecraft can be coated with coatings having lower surface absorptivity and high emissivity.
In this paper a brief overview of black and white thermal control coatings manufactured in USA, Russia, France and Israel and their main strengths for a range of space applications will be presented. The testing of these coatings in high temperature applications where the choice for coatings is drastically reduced will be discussed.
Since the coatings in near-planetary, inter-planetary and planetary environments are exposed to UV solar radiation, charged particles, atomic oxygen, extreme temperature gradients induced by differences in relative sun exposure and dust it is very important to study their behavior in simulated LEO/GEO and planetary conditions.
The results of tests conducted on a number of coatings designed for LEO, GEO and interplanetary missions and the properties like atomic oxygen erosion resistance, surface conductivity, high temperature behaviour, BRDF characteristics, etc. will be presented. Influence of vacuum conditions on surface resistivity of inorganic coatings will be discussed.
In the last decade, space materials scientists worldwide expressed a concern about the problems of space durability of various external space materials and coatings interacting with the space environment.
The influence on the space environment has become one of the major concerns due to the significantly extended longevity of space missions, international collaboration on various space projects, first of all, the International Space Station development and operation, as well as space exploration. The selection of the best, most durable materials is associated with the main subjects of space exploration, such as space mission's safety, spacecraft structures reliability and multi-million spending or savings. An international long-term research program was started in the 90th at ITL on comparative testing, durability evaluation, characterization and surface modification of advanced flight-proven space materials [1-4].
These aspects of space materials' research become a special high-priority subject at the time of international collaboration and joint international agreements, for instance, such as the Agreement of 14 major space countries regarding their collaborative plans and efforts in the new era of global space exploration [5,6].
The major objective of this paper is to provide a brief review of the impact of different simulated space environments on a variety of Russian, US, French, and Israeli functional thermal control coatings being used in space flights.
Thermal control coatings (TCC) from various sources were used in this program. The Russian materials included thermal control coatings manufactured by Kompozit Company in Russia. The western materials included advanced conductive and non-conductive last generation thermal control paints by Lord Corp. (USA), Alion (USA) and MAP (France) and some black TCC's from Acktar, Israel. A number of these TCC's, including the commercially available thermal control paints, and some experimental conductive (antistatic) thermal control coatings, have been treated and tested in ground-based testing facilities. The TCC's that were used in this study and some of their properties are presented in Tables 1 and 2.
Exposure to Lunar environment conditions in Lunar Dust simulator at ITL.
Testing and characterization of functional and surface properties before and after the simulated LEO space environment tests included identification of material type, optical and SEM microscopy analysis. Surface composition and the functional properties, in particular, thermal optical properties, i.e. solar absorptance αs and thermal emittance ε, as well as surface resistivity, water contact angles have been collected or measured for a number of selected coatings with only limited data presented in the paper.
A number of thermal control paint samples have been exposed to ~5 eV atomic oxygen beam with AO flux of ~(2-7)×1014 atoms/cm2/s . All samples were fixed to a metal sample holder plate 20 cm in diameter (Fig. 1). The sample holder was positioned at ~30 cm from the AO source. All material specimens selected for this testing were conditioned in vacuum for ~24 hours prior to AO exposure.
A set of the Russian and Western thermal control space paints (Fig. 1) containing Russian EKOM-1, EKOM-1P, EKOM-2 and TRSO-TsM and European MAP space paints PN, PCBE and SG121FD; USA Aeroglaze A276 and Z302 space paints – have been exposed in two stages to a total FAO fluence of ~1.86×1020 atoms/cm2 (Tables 3 and 4) typical for a standard ground-based test of materials qualified for application in LEO.
All Russian and USA organic paints experienced some mass loss due to erosion of organic polymeric binders, such as polyurethanes (USA) or acrylic copolymers (Russia). In case of TRSO-TsM silicate paint, the strong mass loss is related to desorption of significant amounts of water from the materials of this class. Contrary to this, surface stabilization and protection of MAP organosilicone paints was achieved under FAO exposure (see Tables 3 and 4).
A mass gain was observed for PN, PCBE and SG121FD samples (from 1 µg/cm2 for PN black paint up to ~54.8 µg/cm2 for white PCBE, and ~85 µg/cm2 in case of white paint SG121FD) contrary to the mass loss for polyurethane (USA) or acrylic (Russian) organic binders that is an indication of surface conversion to a stable, self-protective, most probably silica-like surface structures.
The FAO exposure experiments have confirmed the erosion resistance results for the PCBE and SG121FD white MAP organosilicone paints . In particular, the considerable mass gain of these silicone-based materials that was obtained during exposures at the CASOAR – European fast AO simulation chamber that was confirmed also in this study can be explained by efficient surface conversion under fast atomic oxygen beams, leading to carbon reduction due to formation and release in vacuum of volatiles, and significant oxygen uptake, with subsequent formation of protective silica-like inorganic surface compounds.
The highest FAO fluence achieved in this testing was relevant to long-duration space missions, i.e. it was approximately 1/5 – 1/7 of the fluence received by materials in ram direction during the 4 years of in-space MISSE-1experiment at ISS in 2001-2004, at the maximum of solar activity and could be compared with ~1 year in space in MISSE-3 experiment in the 2004-2005 period .
*) This high mass loss can be explained by desorption of bound water from this silicate paint, as indicated below.
The appearance of exposed pigments and highly developed surface morphology, visible for the pristine EKOM-1 paint after the FAO testing at AOBF of MSFC , were clear signs of surface erosion (Fig. 2).
FAO testing results for the PN Black paint are shown in Fig. 3. A comparison of surface morphology of the PN Black pristine material (Fig. 3a) and the FAO-tested sample (Fig. 3b) shows little changes as a result of FAO testing.
The thermal optical and electrical properties of the various TCC's used in this study are summarized in tables 5 and 6. The thermal optical properties of EKOM coatings after AO exposure didn't change significantly. All US tested paints indicated also slight changes in optical properties as a result of AO exposure, except for the untreated A276:Z306 sample, which exhibited substantial change in solar absorptance.
The solar absorptance of the untreated A276:Z306 decreased by about 0.26 and its thermal emittance increased by about 0.03.
Besides optical stability, the maintenance of electrophysical characteristics is another major functional requirement of this type of conductive coatings. They must remain unchanged under vacuum and AO exposure. Additional work needs to be conducted to evaluate the effects of space environment factors on electrophysical properties of the conductive coatings and electrophysical stability under AO. Attention should be paid to the conditions at which the measurements are made.
Thus the surface resistivity values of silicate TCC's are affected by strong recoveries due the transition from the vacuum to air that affects also the solar absorptivity. Such recovery processes indicate at the necessity of performing measurements under vacuum or to get a precise knowledge on recovery mechanisms in order to take into account these effects if the measurements are done ex-situ.
The Acktar coatings exhibit low reflectance values as can be seen from Fig. 4 that presents the hemispherical reflectance behaviour of various Acktar coatings [15,16].
The emissivity of coatings can be changed by applying appropriate formulation, for example high emissivity black paint and black anodize. Acktar vacuum deposited black coatings (thin films applied using proprietary vacuum deposition technology) reach nearly ideal infrared emitter values of 0.985% for coating thickness of just 5 microns.
Fig.4. Hemispherical reflectance versus wavelength of selected AcktarTM coatings.
Table 7 shows examples of emissivity values for some of the developed coatings over the wavelength range 3-30 µm.
In order to successfully suppress stray light in complex optical systems, appropriate light scattering (BRDF) characteristics of the diffusing absorber coatings are essential.
BRDF data of different wavelengths of the black coatings are of extreme importance for the development of such systems in order to model the generation and propagation of stray light and optimize the layout of the system accordingly .
Acktar black coatings exhibit particularly low residual reflectance. However, even though the scattering distribution of these coatings was shown to be perfectly diffuse in the visible range and at near normal incident angles, this cannot automatically be presumed for longer wavelengths and oblique incidence.
Therefore, BRDF measurements were performed at the Fraunhofer IOFon the Fractal BlackTM coating at three different wavelengths of 1.064 μm, 4.6 μm and 10.6 μm. Fig. 8 shows an example of a BRDF measurement obtained for the coating at 4.6 μm.
A number of Acktar Vacuum BlackTM and Magic BlackTM coatings, consisting of two glass samples with a zig-zag coating pattern for surface resistivity measurements and eight titanium Ti6Al4V substrate coated samples, were thermally cycled in the temperature range from -120°C to +380°C in vacuum conditions of 1×10-5 Pa (7.5×10-8 Torr) for up to 100 cycles as part of a qualification process for the performance of Acktar coatings.
The Magic BlackTM coating was selected to be applied in METIS ((METIS)- Multi Element Telescope for Imaging and Spectroscopy – one of the six SolO solar remote-sensing instruments) project. The heating/cooling rate was 10 ± 2 °C/min. The dwell time at temperature extremes in each cycle was kept at 5 min. The samples were placed onto the surface of the sample holder plate as shown in Fig. 6.
Temperature and vacuum pressure data were recorded during the test and stored in Microsoft Excel worksheets. A typical temperature profile is shown in Fig. 7.
With revived international interest and plans for exploration of Moon and Mars, thermal radiator materials used in such missions will be facing the Lunar and Martian environments during such missions. For the Lunar/Mars environments, in addition to radiation stability and charge dissipation, additional challenges lay in identifying TC paints that are less sensitive to dusting, and, if still not durable enough under dusting conditions, to develop additional dust mitigation properties to the selected paints.
A number of thermal control coatings were selected by ITL as part of a dust mitigation project for evaluation of their behaviour in lunar environments and their stability to Lunar dust. In this case, since the lunar environment conditions resemble close those of the GEO environment with the addition of dust conditions, the thermal control paints were selected among the paints that had proven their stability in GEO conditions.
The significance of the surface morphology on both Lunar dust stimulant sticking and accommodation ability to space materials surfaces was one of obvious results in the program.
Results obtained in water contact angle tests, when combined with the SEM data on silicate-based thermal control paints indicate that high porosity of the silicate paints may be an obstacle of using these paints in the dusty Lunar environment, even if they do show the best thermal optical characteristics among up-to-date space TC white paints and are the most promising for long-term GEO application.
The charge-dissipative innovative silicone paint DS13N:6N/LO-HP developed at Alion Corp, has shown dust accumulation to be comparatively close to other paints, but did show very low sticking ability of the dust!
The DS13N:6N/LO-HP paint may be considered as a promising candidate for the application in Lunar exploration, when used in short term missions, and, quite possible, considering it for longer time missions on the Moon.
As a continuation of an international program initiated by ITL on comparative evaluation of space materials, a number of major properties of thermal control materials that are important in LEO, GEO, planetary and inter-planetary missions were evaluated and compared with a brief overview summary provided.
TCC's aimed at use in LEO environment were tested in three different LEO space simulator sources and the results were evaluated. Based on compiled and analyzed together FAO testing results, supported by post-testing surface analysis data, all materials in this study have been assigned to one of two major groups/classes, depending on their LEO space durability, i.e. a) stable or low-erosion with very low or no mass loss and low visible erosion on the surface; and b) significant, high-erosion, with a significant or very significant mass loss confirmed, together with sufficient or strong morphology change due to erosion of the surface.
It was demonstrated and confirmed in this study through a large number of experiments that under oxygen plasma, FAO and FAO+VUV exposure, surface erosion occurs on organic paints, regardless of the supply source and origin of manufacturing. These changes do affect, to a different extent, their optical and electrical properties that are very important in many space applications. For all the tested silicate paints, regardless of their origin, the significant mass loss under FAO exposure was attributed to the loss of water of the silicate, or "liquid glass", water-borne binders.
It has been shown that all Russian EKOM paints maintain their surface resistivity and charge dissipative properties in imitated LEO exposure, even up to high FAO fluencies. These features favour them for both extended GEO and LEO uses, with some possible surface modifications performed for the LEO long-term missions that extend even further the useful life.
A specially designed long-term LEO space flight experiment can be recommended for the MAP silicone paints to prove that they may either cause insignificant or not at all silicone contamination of the sensitive space optical surfaces. This data, if confirmed positively, opens the door for possible exciting opportunity of using MAP silicone paints in long-term LEO space missions.
The results of extensive space qualification tests of the Acktar black coatings and their high temperature behavior renders them as good candidates for inter-planetary and GEO missions.
Preliminary evaluation of a number of recently developed coatings by Kompozit and Alion companies in Russia and USA in conditions of lunar environment had shown that they can be good candidates for missions to Moon and Mars.

After months of speculation, Kylie Jenner not only confirmed that she was pregnant, but that her baby girl arrived on February 1st. There was no major reveal on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, via magazine cover, or by any other spectacular fashion. Jenner simply announced the birth by updating Instagram and Twitter. "There was no gotcha moment. No big paid reveal I had planned," she wrote. "I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness."
The initial text posting, in which she apologizes for keeping things a secret for the past nine months, was also quickly followed up with an 11 minute video of some footage from her life over the past nine months. It includes Jenner tenderly embracing her partner and the baby's father Travis Scott on a beach. The video also contains the first public footage of none other that Chicago West, the newest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Turns out that most of those silly conspiracy theories that had circulated around the web for the past year were just that: silly conspiracy theories. Though, Jenner does still live the world in the dark about the child's name.
Reports first surfaced that Jenner was with child in late September, yet the 20-year-old beauty mogul never confirmed or denied the news herself — neither did Scott or any members of her famous family — leaving the world to rely on quotes from anonymous "sources" about the status of the star's supposed pregnancy and to search for vague baby hints among her infrequent postings to social media. And even though Kylie clearly hoped to maintain her privacy during this time by staying far, far away from any red carpets and avoiding public outings, there has been much fervor over sightings of the reality star, including a fake photo apparently involving a body double.
And Kylie's new addition isn't the only one. Kanye and Kim Kardashian West welcomed their third child via gestational carrier; Chicago West was born on January 15. Meanwhile, yet another baby cousin is still on the way. Khloé Kardashian is currently expecting her first child, with NBA player Tristan Thompson. Keeping up with the Kardashians just keeps getting harder. | {

Product Review & Recipe: Zyliss Smart Clean Food Chopper & Crab Pasta Salad | The Food Hussy!
I am always looking for tools to make my cooking prep quicker and easier. Zyliss is a trusted name in quality kitchen tools and they were nice enough to send me their Smart Clean Food Chopper ($24.99) to try out. I was really excited - mainly because I had this Crab Pasta Salad I found on Pinterest I wanted to make!
I'm a sprawling cook for sure - I am never neat or organized. I cover the counter with everything I need before I get started. You can't even see the two pots of water boiling (for pasta/eggs). OYE! Thankfully the dishwasher was empty so I could put stuff right in there (thanks honey!).
So in figuring out the chopper - I realized that you take the bottom dark gray "tray" off of the chopper and put your veggies in the upside-down cup. Then you put the tray back on and chop away. That said - you can't put a whole celery stalk or a whole onion in the chopper - so there is a little prep work.
So as you can see - you gotta have a firm hand with this chopper!
Zyliss Smart Clean Food Chopper Product Review: The chopper is industrial strength - that's the first thing I noticed! This chopper can take pressure! It does take a little prep work to be able to use it (cutting veggies into chunks) but it takes a lot of the work out of the process of dicing veggies. I still need to use it more to get the right balance down. I think I'm putting too much in the hopper - because the outcome ranges from minced to chunks - so I have to take out some of the bigger pieces and redo. I also think that onion and celery are probably two of the tougher ones to chop - cucumbers would probably chop like butta! The blades are sharp and it's a whiz to clean!
I chopped and separated the crab myself because it's already flaked. I like to have it a little more delicately pulled apart. The celery came from the chopper.
When you're done - just pop off the gray tray and the clear cup - the rest falls open so you can easily rinse in the sink - then you're done! It took about 1 minute to clean the whole thing! Love that!
So along the way in the recipe (see below) - up to this point - I have crab, cheese, celery and onion in a big giant bowl. On the stove are the shells and the eggs. Then in a separate bowl I'm mixing together sour cream/mayo, chow chow (or relish), sugar and salt/pepper. What's chow chow?
Basically - relish. I didn't have any relish but I had this - so I just substitute it. It's a little zingier but other than that - not much different. It's in the salsa section with the other Mrs. Renfros products.
After your sauce is mixed - you pour it into the dry ingredients and stir it all up. I also made a mini-batch without eggs because of my husband's egg allergy. How? I waited to add in the eggs until the very end and mixed up a tupperware bowl full with just sour cream and then added in the mayo to the rest of the batch after.
Wonderful crab pasta salad with a little Food Hussy twist here and there - plus an egg-free version! I would say for the egg-free - you might want to add more relish and even some lemon juice to make up for the lack of zing from the mayo.
Cook pasta according package directions. Rinse and cool.
Boil the eggs and peel and dice eggs.
Chop the crab into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the pasta, crab, cheese, celery, onions and eggs.
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, chow chow and sugar.
Pour over the pasta and mix well.
And thanks again to Zyliss for the Smart Clean Food Chopper - it's a great addition to my kitchen! | {

We have long-term relationships with our suppliers. We work with them to make lasting improvements to working, social and environmental conditions. Our programme is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) core labour standards and other relevant guidance, good practice and regulations.
Our programme deals with issues important to our stakeholders, such as working conditions, livelihoods of the people who make our products, community involvement and the reduction of the environmental impact resulting from the manufacture, distribution and sale of our products.
When we deal with any issues raised by our stakeholders, we aim to keep them involved. We will continually improve our programme by seeking feedback and input from our suppliers and stakeholders.
Our programme is continuous with key focus areas and performance targets for each coming year. At the end of each year, we will evaluate and report on our progress and determine the focus to make a difference in the following year. | {

Q: how to automatically set value of textbox according to value of another textbox I had textbox1, textbox2, and textbox3 I want to automatically set value of textbox2 and textbox3 according to value of textbox1 which has an auto complete method as below...
what should I do within the while clause to automatically set value of textbox2 and textbox3 after finishing auto complete at textbox1 ??
I am working on these error form two days everything is public within my code... I have one think i am wondering about is that new class should be defined within the namespace scope like namespace { Class class_name} but I am defining the class instead of another class like name spaces {class Class_name1 {classs Class_name2 } } but my problem is that when i put my class within the name spaces scope I am getting alot of error and it wont recognize a lot of key words ... so please would tha be the problem ?? and if yes please can you lead me to solve this ???
public class PopulateProduct
{
public string ProductDesc { get; set; }
public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
}
Dictionary<string, PopulateProduct> dict = new Dictionary<string, PopulateProduct>();
public void load()
{
string connstr = "user id=rawpic;password=admin";
string cmdtxt = @"select PRODUCT_ID,DESCRIPTION,UNIT_PRICE
from products";
AutoCompleteStringCollection autocom = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
TB_PRODUCT_ID.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest;
TB_PRODUCT_ID.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
TB_PRODUCT_ID.AutoCompleteCustomSource = autocom;
using (OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(connstr))
using (OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(cmdtxt, conn))
{
try
{
conn.Open();
OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
dict.Add((string)dr["PRODUCT_ID"],
new PopulateProduct()
{
ProductDesc = (string)dr["DESCRIPTION"],
UnitPrice = (decimal)dr["UNIT_PRICE"]
});
autocom.Add(dr["PRODUCT_ID"].ToString());
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message,"",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}
}
private void TB_PRODUCT_ID_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (dict.ContainsKey(TB_PRODUCT_ID.Text))
{
TB_PRODUCTS_DESC.Text = dict[TB_PRODUCT_ID.Text].ProductDesc;
TB_UNIT_PRICE.Text = dict[TB_PRODUCT_ID.Text].UnitPrice.ToString();
}
}
A:
"...everything is public within my code..."
Please check again. Properties of your Object model is not public yet (and Object is not a good name for your model ... how about Product ?) :
public class Product
{
public string ProductDesc { get; set; }
public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
}
Regarding the last part of the error message, that's because DataReader["column_name"] returns object. You need to explicitly cast the result to suitable type :
dict.Add((string)dr["PRODUCT_ID"],
new Product()
{
ProductDesc = (string)dr["DESCRIPTION"],
UnitPrice = (decimal)dr["UNIT_PRICE"]
});

This year has been a wildly enjoyable and exciting year for me. I find myself often on the move making new memories, through both my work and personal life. These outings have varied from sports, to debuts, to exclusive experiences, and some behind the scenes content as well. Throughout all these ventures one thing has remained consistent. Each and every outing I attended featured an artist performing as the musical entertainment for the evening. The artists have varied given the settings, demographics, and time of the events; which I always feel is a nice touch. Also, there have been a variety of artists for said events, ranging across genres and generations, which is always refreshing. Most artists whether newer or older performed their more known and popular work. While some sprinkled in some cult classics to play to their core fan bases in attendance as well. After an older artist did a rather short medley of hit singles, I got to thinking about something. How could they tour or have much opportunity once they step out of the main spotlight? Which I then tied into newer artists today predominantly focusing on a big record more than anything, which in turn meant they could experience this issue as well.
It's hard enough to have one solid single let alone a career full of them. However, in retrospect only having singles may not be the best thing in the long run. We all know this can be tough even in the immediate moment because fans may not engage with the actual project; they just flock towards that one record. But, when you make a career off of individual records things tend to be more difficult in the future. There are a few reasons why happens too. Songs die down due to changes in music or just being overplayed. Artists make similar or better records that take the steam away from that initial record. The artist somehow damages our view on them and we just don't rock with a record like we used to. Whatever the case is, this makes it tough for a song to have substantial lasting power. This normally leads to DJs only playing parts of the record in a mix, which in turn leads artists to only performing a certain part live.
So here is my greatest concern. In smaller settings this set style is perfect. However in larger venues it leaves a bit more to be desired. Some songs bring back nostalgia as they put us back in the moment when they released, but there are some that don't have that same lasting power. This makes things troublesome because unless someone is doing an ensemble show, it's hard to have a substantial set. This isn't something we saw in the past with other genres much, but this seems to be a looming concern for hip hop artists. This is mainly due to two things, short run appearances, and some artists never really playing full sets to extremely large crowds. This causes a lack of stage presence, crowd participation, and can make shows feel rushed. To add to all of this, if the focus is primarily on the big record it tends to mean it's more of a catchier record than anything. This also means it can lack a substance that truly resonates with the listeners. After time that lack of connection with these songs are actually the most damaging part to the overall longevity of the artist.
There a few newer and older artists that come to mind with this topic. Some hit the upper tier of the industry and some sit in a level just below. Only time will tell how things play out, but I think the message is obvious. It may not be best to go out looking to make music for the people. It may be best to make the music you feel at the time and just be confident that the people will flock to it.
Great V I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs as well as related information ended up being truly simple to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, website theme . a tones way for your customer to communicate. Excellent task..
Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I'd definitely appreciate it.
Somebody necessarily lend a hand to make critically articles I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your website page and up to now? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this actual put up incredible. Excellent process!

Wow, awesome weblog structure! How long have you been blogging for? you make running a blog look easy. The full glance of your website is great, as smartly as the content material!
Superb post however , I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I'd be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Many thanks!
You made some respectable points there. I seemed on the web for the problem and found most people will go together with together with your website.
Thank you for every other informative site. Where else may just I get that kind of information written in such a perfect manner? I have a challenge that I'm just now working on, and I've been at the glance out for such info.

Spielräume spezial ist eine wöchentliche Musiksendung des österreichischen Radiosenders Ö1. Die als Ergänzung zu den Spielräumen gedachte Sendung wird an Sonn- und Feiertagen jeweils zwischen 17:10 und 17:56 Uhr ausgestrahlt.
Geschichte und Sendungskonzept
Die 2003 von Wolfgang Kos initiierte sonntägige Sendung Spielräume Spezial soll Musikstile und Musiker in Porträt-Nahaufnahmen vorstellen. Das erste Spielräume spezial, das sich unter dem Titel "Delta Blues" der Musik aus dem Mississippi-Delta widmete, wurde von Wolfgang Kos gestaltet und am 5. Jänner 2003 ausgestrahlt. Die damalige Produzentin Mirjam Jessa übergab im Juli 2005 die Sendungsverantwortung von Spielräume spezial an Michael Schrott, der diese Funktion bis zum Wechsel des Sendungsformates, Ende 2006, innehatte. Damals wurde aufgrund einer Radioreform die Sendezeit von 46 Minuten auf 26 Minuten verkürzt und der verbleibende Sendeplatz zur Spielräume-Sonntagsausgabe umgewidmet. Für die Gestaltung detaillierter Band- und Musikerporträts hat sich diese Sendezeitkürzung nachteilig ausgewirkt, da in 26 Minuten das Lebenswerk von Bands und Musikern, die eine lange Karriere aufweisen, nicht anschaulich darzustellen ist. Dabei waren diese detaillierten Porträts von Bands und Musikern für die Dreiviertelstunden-Sendung Spielräume spezial besonders charakteristisch. Der Wortanteil von 15 Minuten und der Musikanteil von 31 Minuten ermöglichte es Leben und Werk der Porträtierten zumindest in groben Zügen zu skizzieren, selbst wenn dieses mehrere Jahrzehnte umfasst hat. Musikalische Außenseiter und Geheimtipps sowie spezielle Schwerpunktthemen konnten anhand ausgewählter Platten musikalisch beleuchtet werden. Weitere Programmreformen brachten wieder an Sonn- und Feiertagen die 46-minütige Spielräume spezial-Sendungen zurück.
Beispielsendungen
Michael Neuhauser: Chopin, Jobim, Gainsbourg. Wie Präludien und Etüden zu Popsongs werden.
Michael Schrott: "Strahlende" Pop-Musik. Der atomare Abfall des Kalten Pop-Kriegs.
Andreas Weigel: Lebensmotto "Trouble Bound"., Billy Lee Rileys unstete Karriere.
Andreas Weigel: I Hear America Singing. Bob Gibson – Zu Unrecht vergessen.

Look up in the newspaper or the Internet, and check out companies which offer the facility of mobile casino hire. Mobile casino hire company specialize in providing all the necessary equipment and goods for rent, for the casino parties.
After you have contacted a supplier for mobile casino hire, go ahead with planning other things. Such as the dress code. Just because it is a casino party does not mean you or the guests can take the liberties and turn up wearing whatever they wish. No. Ideally, the rule has it that casino parties must be themed, so that it can exude the vibe of being at a casino, playing games. Set up a dress code – formals usually.
It's your casino party, so obviously you have to play the role of a perfect host to perfection. How do you do that? Simply by being attentive. Keep your eyes and ears on the going-ons in the party. To make the guests feel comfortable, attend to them.
Participate in at least in at least one casino game at each table. Ensure that the guests are not feeling out of place during the proceedings of the party. And more importantly, be a conversation-starter.
You are the host, and you should know how to talk the talk. Speak to all the guests, not letting them feel awkward or left out. Meanwhile take a rounds around the home to ensure all amenities are in order for the convenience of the guests.
You can also hire female strippers for additional entertainment. | {

NBA star. "Give up $100 million to stay vaccinated"
As the "Brooklyn Nets" basketball player explained to the media at the beginning of the meeting, the refusal of vaccination prevented the full extension of the contract. "I turned down a four-year, $100 million or more contract to stay unvaccinated. It was my choice."
Irving was unable to play home games for the Nets last NBA season until New York's vaccination requirement was lifted in March. The 30-year-old has also missed several away games due to his vaccination status. The extension of the contract was supposed to be in the summer of 2021, but on the condition that he was vaccinated. "It was like an ultimatum. "I understand the club's point of view, but it was a hard pill for me to swallow," Irving said. "I had to deal with losing my job for this decision."
Nets general manager Sean Marks denied the ultimatum. "You want reliable and responsible people here. It affects all of us, the staff, the coaches, the players," Marks explained. When it became clear that Irving would miss many games without vaccination, the contract negotiations reached an impasse.
Irving, who admitted that the vaccination decision had a negative impact on his image, will receive $36.5 million for the upcoming season and then can find a new club as a "free agent." The point guard played in 29 games last season and averaged 27.4 points. | {

Mobile phone services are now universally diffused, creating the possibility of perpetual contact, regardless of time and location. Many think the impossibility of being 'out of touch' leads to increased time pressure. In addition to claims that the mobile phone has led to harried leisure, others have argued that perpetual contact extends work into the home or intensifies work in other ways. In this article, these issues are explored using survey data employing some novel methodologies — combining a questionnaire with logs of phone traffic recovered from respondents' handsets and a purpose-designed time-diary of technology use. Overall, results show that mobile phone use is not associated with more harried leisure. Fears of work intruding into home life appear to be exaggerated. However, there is some evidence that frequent use of mobiles during working hours is associated with work intensification, at least among men. | {

Ernest Cronier, né en 1840 et mort le , est un ingénieur français des Ponts et chaussés et directeur de raffinerie devenu président directeur général des sucreries Say à la suite du décès du successeur en titre, Henry Say, petit-fils de Louis Say, en 1899, dont il fut également l'exécuteur testamentaire.
Impliqué dans une première affaire d'escroquerie dite Des mines d'or en 1897, il est surtout soupçonné, avec l'Anglais Sir Ernest Cassel et le directeur du Printemps Jules Jaluzot , d'avoir provoqué le Corner de 1905 sur le sucre égyptien.
À la suite de la médiatisation de cette affaire, Ernest Cronier se suicide par arme à feu à son domicile le 27 août 1905.

Theology and Creed in Sunni Islam: The Muslim Brotherhood, Ash'arism, and Political Sunnism
Posted by Jeffry R. Halverson
The history of Sunni theology is little known, but the impact of its demise has profoundly shaped modern Islam This book explores the correlation between anti theological thought and the rise of Islamism in the twentieth century by examining Egypt s Muslim Brotherhood and the leadership of Umar al Tilmisani d 1986 The sociopolitical implications of anti theological crThe history of Sunni theology is little known, but the impact of its demise has profoundly shaped modern Islam This book explores the correlation between anti theological thought and the rise of Islamism in the twentieth century by examining Egypt s Muslim Brotherhood and the leadership of Umar al Tilmisani d 1986 The sociopolitical implications of anti theological creedalism and its postcolonial intermarriage with the modern nation state are also analyzed Ultimately, this study seeks to know whether a revival of Sunni theology, as a rational discourse on religion, can dilute the absolutism of increasingly pervasive Islamist thought in the contemporary Muslim world.

I have included a short review and a long review of this book. The short review will give you more of a "spoiler-free" look at what to expect from this work. The long review is more detailed and will give you a summary of what you will get from each chapter in this work (think spoiler) so you can make more of an informed decision on whether to purchase this or not.Short ReviewThis is an enjoyable book linking theology and political thought to explore their relationship with one another. It e [...]

Having said that this is a well written piece, reads well and is not completely devoid of good passages and insights. However, it remains incomplete, a better job could have been made in linking theological schools to practical implications the reader is left to grapple with these ideas and make the final connections.
I've completely revised this review because frankly the harshness of my original review wasn't worth it, not here. I also made a mistake (as was brought to my attention) and would like to remove it. I'll leave it at this:I find great fault with any analysis of Ash'ari and Maturidi theology built primarily (almost exclusively) from theological works in translation, which is severely limiting, (that's Chapter 1) and I strongly disagree with his idea of "the demise of 'Ilm al-Kalam" (the thesis of [...]

👓 Teslasuit's new VR gloves let you feel virtual objects and track your pulse | Via: The Verge
Teslasuit — known for its full-body haptic feedback suit — is introducing a glove that can let users feel virtual textures and gather biometric data. The device is called simply the "Teslasuit Glove," and it will debut at CES in January, with the goal of shipping by the second half of 2020.
Like the Teslasuit, the Teslasuit Glove is meant for training, medical rehabilitation, and other professional applications. It combines several different technologies to simultaneously create the impression of touching and holding objects, capture the motion of users' hands, and record pulse and other biometric information. The gloves can also be paired with the suit over Wi-Fi to offer nearly full-body motion capture or haptic feedback for virtual reality.
Teslasuit is one of several haptics and motion control companies that launched during the mid-'10s VR boom, appealed initially to consumers, then shifted to business customers. It launched the suit on Kickstarter in 2016, but it canceled that campaign and officially announced its first product in 2018. It's since demonstrated potential applications in astronaut training, emergency evacuation drill practice, and other simulation scenarios. The creators aren't ruling out gaming and entertainment possibilities, but at around $5,000, the glove isn't a home headset accessory.
The Teslasuit Glove will compete with existing products from companies like Manus VR and HaptX. While it doesn't tout the hyper-fine feedback you can get from a device like HaptX's glove, Teslasuit is seemingly distinguishing itself with a breadth of features. The gloves include basic haptic and force feedback capabilities: an array of nine electrodes on each finger produce the sensation of touching a nonexistent surface, while a plastic exoskeleton creates resistance and vibration to simulate interacting with solid objects.
On top of that, the gloves capture the motion of a user's wrist and fingers. And they include a pulse oximeter that gathers information like the user's heart rate — which can help indirectly measure stress and other physical reactions to experiences. This whole spread of features is similar to that of the Teslasuit, which gathers biometric and motion data and simulates physical feeling with electrical stimulation. Sadly, while Teslasuit says CES attendees can check out the suit, they can't try the gloves yet — they're still going through testing.
⬆️ The Upside: We believe that this is a nice complement to Teslasuit's smart suit. The smart glove and smart suit can create a unique VR experience. What's unique about Teslasuit product is the ability to capture in real time the biometric data (HR, stress, impedance/hydration..) of users. We believe that this is the kind of VR training tool that could appeal to a large number of pro teams, especially as the price comes down over time. Players could use the smart glove and smart suit as part of their rehab and training process. Let's not forget that this technology was initially built for Olympic athletes so it is a proven technology.

⌚ Amazfit Bip S to launch at CES 2020 – with three new wearables set to land | Via: Wareable
Amazfit is to launch a follow up to its popular budget smartwatch – the Amazfit Bip S – which is set to be unveiled at CES 2020 in Las Vegas. The Big S is set to feature a lighter design according to the teaser tweet from the company – but beyond that we're still guessing on details. An outline is shown – and the Bip S looks to stare the same design.
The original Bip which retails for just 50, still managed to pack in GPS – and a previous teaser image shows a definite fitness theme for Amazfit's CES output.
This could mean that we see advanced fitness features – including ECG, VO2 Max or other fitness insights. Indeed, the Amazfit Stratos already taps into Firstbeat's features – so it could filter down to its budget watches.
It's part of a growing range of smartwatches for Amazfit, which launched the Amazfit GTS back at IFA 2019, which has a design, feature set and spec sheet closer to the Apple Watch. It also launched the Stratos 3 sports watch, which takes on top-end Garmin sports watches.
The Amazfit Bip S is one of three wearables promised in the Amazfit teaser – and as we mentioned, these seem t be part of a coherent fitness push.
The teaser shoes a wrist-based device, and what seems to be a pair of smart wireless buds – which would make sense given the aggressive demand for these devices.
The teaser image also seems to highlight the sneakers – and this could be a reimagining of the Amazfit Antelope smart shoes, some kind of footpod – or a red herring to throw us off entirely. It's certainly not outside of the realms of possibility of a new pair of smart shoes emerging. As we've seen with Xiaomi devices, the Chinese market is predominantly the target for Huami – and the boom in fitness there means this sport focus is no surprise.
The event will be held on 7 January in Las Vegas - so we'll get a full idea of what's next for the company then.
⬆️ The Upside: We believe that it makes a lot of sense for Huami, Xiaomi's ODM, to introduce new wearables at CES 2020, to better address the mid-high end of the wearable market. As we noted earlier, those new wearables could include new biosensing capabilities (ECG, VO2 Max, blood pressure, hydration measurement). Huami could also potentially introduce new form factors (e.g. smart t-shirt, smart shoes with new capabilities). Ultimately these new products will help Huami/Xiaomi sustain its strong positioning in the wearable market.

🎮 U.S. Navy Sets Sail for Esports | Via: Front Office Sports
As the U.S. Navy heads into 2020, the service plans to torpedo its television advertising. Instead, it is floating all of its advertising money into digital, heavily focusing that around esports, according to the USNI News.
Two years ago, the Navy spent $20.2 million on television advertising. That represented about 45% of its total advertising budget, which was roughly $45 million. Much of that was focused behind its "Forged by the Sea" campaign, which featured during the 2017 Army-Navy football game.
In the year ahead, the service has set a $33 million advertising budget. However, that will not include rushing an ad campaign out ahead of the Super Bowl, or frankly, even any broadcast inventory - the Navy plans on spending $0 on television ads.
Instead, $33 million of that budget, or approximately 97% of it, will be spent on online advertising. Roughly $1 million will be spent on billboard and local radio station advertising.
That serious shift is the result of research that informed the Navy that its target audience of people between the ages of 17 and 28 years old are more likely to be reached online rather than via television.
"One thing we did learn, is paying for a lot of TV ads in the middle of Super Bowl games," said Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Robert Burke, according to USNI News. "[The] target audience is not watching that."
That digital push will come with a focus on esports advertising. The Navy will become a prominent sponsor of esports events and will also field an all-Navy esports team made up of active-duty recruits, according to USNI News.
"Right now, it's predominantly digital that's bringing us better returns," Burke said. "YouTube, five, ten, 15-second headers that repeat for the audience that shows interest in them, that turns into leads at call centers."
The U.S. Navy said that reducing television advertising has had no adverse effect on its recruiting. In 2020, it is aiming to add about 5,100 people to its current force of 340,500 active-duty personnel.
⬆️ The Upside: We believe that this is a great move by the US Navy to focus on esports as part of its recruitment efforts. eSports fans are a great match for the US Navy's targeted demographics (17 to 28 years old). We expect other major brands (e.g. insurance companies, media companies, tech companies..) to increasingly focus their ad budget towards esports advertising. As a reminder the eSports market was expected to pass the $1B mark in terms of revenue last year.

September 22, 2009 Football, Sun Belt Conference, Tom D'Angelo.
I had the pleasure of talking to and meeting the Van Camp family while I was reporting a story on Jeff Jr. for today's Palm Beach Post.
The fascination of Jeff Sr.'s former occupation as a professional wrestler aside – he played the villainous Lord Humongous – I am impressed with Jeff Jr.'s priorities.
Van Camp is unique. He was a first-year freshman and Smith a red-shirt freshman when Smith won the job and it became obvious it would be Smith's for four years. Most players in Van Camp's situation would have grumbled, maybe gone public with his unhappiness and packed up after a year.
Do the names Taylor Cook and Cannon Smith ring a bell? They do for UM fans who saw both QBs pack up on the same day last month after realizing they wouldn't be handed a job.
Van Camp knew he would have to wait four years to take control of the offense. He vowed to stick it out and make the best of the situation.
A class act by a classy kid. Here's hoping Van Camp is rewarded next season by having a successful one-year reign as the Owls' QB.
Speaking of QBS, Smith praised the play of Chris Bonner and Lester Jean during the 38-16 loss at South Carolina after both were thrust into new roles in the wake of Cortez Gent's suspension.
Bonner had six catches for 57 yards and touchdown, a nice audition to take over as the go-to guy in Gent's absence. Jean, making his second start, had four catches for 39 yards.
Though Smith may miss Gent, he won't dwell on the program's all-time leading receiver not being on the field.
"I really try my hardest not to focus on that and think about that because I know the guys we have there are able to make plays," Smith said.
Those were some of the words used this week to describe FAU's series with Louisiana-Monroe, the opponent for Saturday's home and Sun Belt opener.
The visiting team has won each game. The average margin of victory: 3.4 points.
Smith was asked about his interception on the first play of the second half Saturday that turned the momentum and sparked South Carolina's three third quarter touchdowns.
He said the cornerback was in position for the pick because he tripped. | {

Vivian Suter and her mother Elisabeth Wild are two Swiss / Austrian émigré artists in living in Panajachel, Guatemala, where they have developed a matriarchal compound in an environment that offers both refuge and terror. Elisabeth is in her nineties and Vivian in her sixties and they are as close as maiden sisters, in fact the family relationship is shifting, each is at times mother and daughter to the other. This film takes a close and dreamy look at their artistic, emotional and economic lives, with their extended householders: Mayan villagers as guardians and home help, and an assortment of dogs, it offers a tender look at an instance of post-colonial complexity. | {

Feb 24, 2016 Current Events Sayyid Khizr
Ceasefire in Syria: Another Facade
The United States and its Zionist lackeys continue to play dirty political games and wreak havoc in Syria. Behind head-chopping mercenaries – al-Nusra, Daesh, ISIS, ISIL, Blackwater, al-Qaeda, whatever we want to call them – is American-Zionist weaponry and funding. Despite their mischief, the American-Zionist alliance has been unsuccessful. Russia, along with Hezbollah fighters, have and continue to inflict heavy losses on the American-backed mercenaries fighting in Syria. The subsequent reaction from the United States and its European allies is revealing: by openly voicing their displeasure at Russian airstrikes on Daesh (ISIS) targets, it is clear that the barbaric militants – who have no ethical qualms in executing and mutilating the bodies of Syrian civilians – are protecting American and European interests, which are far from democratic. After failing miserably to topple a sovereign, legitimate, and popular Syrian government by paying mercenaries to pillage the country and slaughter innocent men, women and children, they have resorted to strategies that have, in the past, proven to be a façade.
Since it began bombing the terrorists in Syria, Russia has become the direct target of American criticism. In fact, the United States has seized every opportunity to publicly demonize and denounce the Russian government in the international arena. The irony, however, is that Vladimir Putin has openly declared that his administration is conducting an aerial campaign in Syria, that it is with the permission of the Assad government, and that Russia's military operations in the country are aimed at containing a rapidly escalating, American-instigated conflict, which has so far claimed over 250,000 innocent civilian lives. In contrast, the United States, by interfering in Syria, by paying and arming mercenaries to wreak havoc, and by disregarding established laws of sovereignty, is breaking international law. In any case, the United States campaign against Russia has not worked. In fact, the White House, in stark contrast to its actions, was forced to strike a conciliatory tone regarding Russia's involvement in the Syrian conflict:
"In particular, President Obama emphasized the importance now of Russia playing a constructive role by ceasing its air campaign against moderate opposition forces in Syria."
The statement, apart from being a perfect example of United States' duplicity, leads us to another question. Who do the Americans regard as "moderate opposition forces"? Are they, by any chance, the barbarian hordes trying to take over Syrian cities with American-made weapons?
John McCain visited rebels in Syria on Monday, his communications director confirmed to CNN, making the Arizona Republican the highest ranking elected official from the United States to visit the war-torn country since its civil war began over two years ago.
Are they the people who behead and crucify civilians, who kidnap women and children and force them into sexual slavery? Are they the forces who, after killing Syrian soldiers, tear out and chew on their hearts? The statement from the White House clearly shows that these same militants, who do not distinguish soldiers from civilians, are being supported by Western countries with expansionist, imperialist agendas. In addition to supporting the "moderate opposition", Western countries such as France have been illegally bombing Syrian oil installation areas. On one hand, the United States is flooding Syria with militants. On the other hand France is bombing Syrian resources. The intention is clear: the West is not trying to overthrow the legitimate Syrian government; it is trying to destroy Syria.
In the midst of all this chaos, the United States is seeking to play another trick. Seeing that putting pressure on Russia is not working, that its mercenaries are being destroyed by Hezbollah fighters, that their air strikes to protect the militants are ineffective, the United States has now resorted to calling for a "ceasefire". Russia and the United States have agreed to enforce a ceasefire in the country starting from February 27th. This should not be mistaken as an intention to stop the violence, but as another attempt to inflict damage on the Syrian establishment and those aiding it. In actual fact, there are multiple reasons for the Americans' call for ceasefire. First, to fly tired terrorists out of Syria and replace them with new ones, an operation that requires coordination between Turkey, the United States and Saudi Arabia. Second, as it has been proven in the past that United States and its allies do not honor their promises, which leads us to believe that ceasefire is actually another military tactic. The ceasefire will definitely not be honored by the militants; they will start attacking Syrian soldiers and civilians. Of course, the Syrian Army will not let its guard down. As has been the case since the beginning of the Syrian conflict, the most vulnerable are Syrian men, women, and children. The American-funded mercenaries will not stop targeting them.
The situation in Syria is turning from bad to worse. The international community is a culpable for its silence, for sitting idly whilst a country burns and its people are slaughtered. Furthermore, the Turkish government and the Saudi regime have both announced their intentions to deploy ground troops in Syria, despite strong condemnation from the Syrian government. As has been mentioned in my previous analysis, the stage is being set for a major war in Syria – which will occur sooner or later. We might very well be witnessing the first stages of a major international catastrophe in Syria and the region.

Q: Why is my code looping twice when using keyboard? I am writing code to alert the user when a specific string of numbers is entered. The code runs seems to run as intended but outputs "1122334455" when it should give me "12345":
import sys
sys.path.append('..')
import keyboard
line = ''
ISBN10 = ''
number = ""
def print_pressed_keys(e):
global line, ISBN10, number
line = line.join(str(code) for code in keyboard._pressed_events)
if line == "2":
number = 1
elif line == "3":
number = 2
elif line == "4":
number = 3
elif line == "5":
number = 4
elif line == "6":
number = 5
elif line == "7":
number = 6
elif line == "8":
number = 7
elif line == "9":
number = 8
elif line == "10":
number = 9
elif line == "11":
number = 0
ISBN10 = ISBN10 + str(number)
if len(ISBN10) > 10:
ISBN10 = ISBN10[1:11]
print("ISBN10: " + ISBN10)
keyboard.hook(print_pressed_keys)
keyboard.wait()
The output is:
ISBN10: 1
ISBN10: 11
ISBN10: 112
ISBN10: 1122
ISBN10: 11223
ISBN10: 112233
Whereas it should be:
ISBN10: 1
ISBN10: 12
ISBN10: 123
A: This is because keyboard.hook() will run its callback when you press a key and when you release it. Therefore, twice for every key press. You need to have it run just when a key is pressed:
keyboard.on_press(print_pressed_keys)
# Added hotkey so you can exit block and continue program execution
keyboard.wait("ESC")
# Run this after you press escape so it stops running the hook when you exit
keyboard.unhook_all()

After I submit a check to the Program, why can't I take the money if the check writer wants to pay the check off at my store?
Can I get reimbursement for a bank service fee from the Program?
Can I put more than one check on a Bad Check Crime Report?
How do I make a payment on a check that has been referred to your Office?
How do I register for the DA Bad Check Restitution Program?
How much do I pay for the District Attorney's Office to enforce payment of my check?
If I have stores in another state, can I also submit the worthless checks passed at those stores?
What can I do about a worthless check that is returned because the Program can't prosecute the case?
What can I do about worthless checks that don't qualify for the Bad Check Restitution Program?
What can I do to make sure a check qualifies for prosecution?
What do I do if I think a check is forged?
When will I receive the money the Program recovers?
Why can't I submit any check that was refused by the bank?
Why do I have to contact the check writer first?
Once a bad check has been submitted to the Bad Check Restitution Program, the check writer is given the opportunity to participate in the pre-trial diversion program or face possible criminal prosecution. Because the bad check is now part of a legal proceeding (in either instance), it must be resolved through the Bad Check Restitution Program.
Note: Merchants that accept payment for a worthless check that has been submitted to the Bad Check Restitution Program can be barred from further use of the Program.
Yes. The Bad Check Restitution Program can require the check writer to a pay service fee (up to $15 per check) to cover bank charges a victim incurs in handling the worthless check.
Yes. You can put multiple checks on the report BUT, all the checks on the report must have been received from a single check writer.
You can register on-line or download a Registration Form from the "Download Forms" section of this site. After you register, you will receive a Merchant's Registration Number and a Merchant's Bad Check Protection Kit. As soon as you are registered, you can begin to submit worthless checks you have received.
NOTHING! There is NO COST for this service to merchants and other victims of bad checks. The Bad Check Restitution Program requires the check writer to pay the full amount of the check - plus any bank fees - to the victim. The check writer also pays the administrative costs of the program, so it costs other taxpayers nothing as well.
For a check to qualify it must have been passed within Solano County. Bad checks passed in other counties or states may be submitted to the District Attorney's Office for that jurisdiction. Not all jurisdictions have this type of pre-complaint diversion program. Check with the local District Attorney's Office or Prosecutor's Office to see if you can submit the check to them.
There are several reasons that the Bad Check Restitution Program might not be able to enforce restitution: the check writer has moved and can not be located, the check writer has died and the check is a part of an estate settlement, or insufficient identification was taken at the time of the transaction. Such checks will be held at the Check Enforcement Program in an inactive status. If we receive additional information about the check or check writer, the check can be re-activated and further investigation can take place. However, if you prefer, the check can be returned to you. At that point, you may wish to pursue the matter through small claims court, a collection agency, or with the help of a private attorney.
Checks that fall outside the boundaries of the Program, usually take one of two possible paths. If the check is considered part of a civil matter, you can pursue the check writer in small claims court, through a collection agency, or with the help of a private attorney. If it an obvious criminal matter - for example, a counterfeit or forged check - it should be immediately referred to the police.
Please see Guidelines for Handling Checks. These are the steps that a person should take to insure that all checks are handled properly at the time of the transaction. If one or another of these steps is overlooked, the check may not qualify for the Bad Check Restitution Program.
If you have a question about a particular check case, please contact the Bad Check Restitution Program.
Forged checks should be immediately submitted to your Police Department or Sheriff's Office.
Restitution for bad checks collected by the Program will be mailed to you within ten (10) business days of the date it was received.
Certain checks are not eligible for the Bad Check Restitution Program. Some of these are considered civil matters - not a criminal offense. Counterfeit or forged checks are considered more serious criminal matters and the check writer is not eligible for a pre-trial diversion program and must face prosecution. Other worthless checks are impossible to prosecute because proper identification was not taken at the time of the transaction or for other similar reasons. Still other checks do not qualify as valid payment instruments because of no signature or no amount entered.
Note: If you are unsure whether a check qualifies for the Bad Check Restitution Program, submit it anyway. If the check does not qualify, it will be returned with an explanation of why it did not qualify.
California law does not require that the victim make an attempt to get restitution before referring the check to the District Attorney's Office. Nonetheless, it is just good business practice to give a check writer an opportunity to make a check good, before you submit it to the District Attorney's Office. Honest people make honest mistakes and by letting them know, you can save hard feelings and potentially keep a good customer. A Sample Demand Letter is provided on this site that is intended to be a cordial but firm notification.
If you have notified the check writer and they fail to respond within five (5) days, you should immediately submit the check to the Bad Check Restitution Program. | {

At the age of seventeen he joined the Great Southern and Western Railway Company as a clerk and was stationed in Limerick for six years. In 1913 he was transferred to Dublin by the GSWR and assigned to the traffic manager's office at Kingsbridge Railway station (now Heuston station). He continued his work with Fianna Éireann where he met Con Colbert and Liam Mellows, both prominent in the organisation. He was promoted vice-commandant of the Dublin Brigade and also became director of training. Heuston joined the Irish Volunteers soon after their formation in November 1913, eventually becoming a captain in Ned Daly's 1st Battalion. He worked hard with his company, organising marches and field manoeuvres, fostering a spirit of commitment and camaraderie, and procuring arms and equipment by purchase and any other means at his disposal. On Easter Monday he was assigned command at the Mendicity Institution, a building on the south side of the river Liffey, to the west of the Four Courts where Daly and the 1st Battalion were based. Seán Heuston was tried by court-martial and sentenced to death. He was executed on 8 May. At twenty-five years and two months, he was the youngest of those executed. He was unmarried. He was survived by his mother and his brother Michael, then a student for the priesthood at the Dominican Priory, Tallaght. | {

Kantarou has a collection of feathers, shiny black feathers that fall to the earth whenever Haruka unfurls his wings. Kantarou occasionally asks if it hurts when Haruka sheds feathers, but Haruka curls his lip or rolls his eyes and grunts, "Don't be an idiot." Kantarou is always asking silly questions.
Kantarou gathers the fallen feathers and keeps them in a round bowl in his room. Haruka cannot imagine why Kantarou would want his discarded feathers, nor why he would spend so much time peering through them at the sun or moon. Kantarou tells him that in the sunlight the bowl of feathers shimmers, the black plumes turning into an iridescent mingle of green and blue flecked with red and purple. But by the light of the moon the feathers in the bowl are blacker than black, their mysterious colors reduced to a velvet darkness that obliterates the sky. Kantarou seems very interested in sharing these facts with Haruka. But then Kantarou has many peculiar habits.
Most nights Haruka sprawls on the roof under the stars, staring at the vast blackness surrounding them, but sometimes he sits with wings unfurled and grooms them, plucking out pinfeathers that stick out at odd angles, straightening the larger, longer feathers until they fall into line. His reason for doing this has everything to do with comfort and virtually nothing to do with appearance, for Haruka is not particularly vain. Nor does he care when Kantarou climbs up the shaky ladder to join him on the roof, to watch him run his fingers through his wings. It's merely another odd facet of his master's personality, and Kantarou is very odd indeed.
But tonight, tonight, Kantarou does not sit beside him, watching. Instead he moves closer, until he is behind the Demon-Eater, his legs splayed out on either side. Haruka tenses. Kantarou reaches with small white hands to stroke Haruka's wings – tentatively at first, and then with more purpose. Those delicate white hands grow bolder, combing through the long black feathers, straightening, organizing, grooming them, and with each rhythmic movement Haruka grows more relaxed. There is a thrumming inside him, a rhythm in synchronization with Kantarou's hands: stroke, stroke, comb, stroke, stroke, comb. Haruka leans back until his torso rests against Kantarou's smaller body, his head falling back against Kantarou's shoulder. The thrumming, humming, drumming inside him increases. Haruka has petted a kitten before; he understands purring. He does not know why his own body whirrs with the same feeling now.
The fingers stroke and straighten, groom and calm, and all Haruka can feel is one heartbeat – his, or is it perhaps Kantarou's? – and a soft familiar voice whispering over and over again, Haruka. Haruka. Haruka.
Feathers fall from his wings with every stroke, black iridescence against Kantarou's white, white hands. Haruka sighs and closes his eyes. He trusts Kantarou to gather them all. He will collect them, keep them safe, keep them always.
Kantarou has many odd habits, after all.
It begins innocently enough, or so it seems.
Like so many nights before this one, they're on the roof, watching the stars. Kantarou grooms and straightens Haruka's wings, going with the grain, as always. For his part, Haruka has given into his master's whims — he's relaxed, seemingly content, humming with that peculiar sound Kantarou has come to think of as a tengu's purr.
—Kantarou slides his fingers backwards against the feathers, deliberately forcing them against the grain. The result is instantanous. Haruka gasps, and sits bolt upright as if struck by lightning, his eyes in an instant going wild. His claws extend, and low hum in his throat becomes a growl. Kantarou laughs at the sharp reaction, but the laugh dies in his throat as, too late, he realizes his mistake. Haruka leaps, flinging him down against the tile, pressing heavily against his slighter body. No longer content and quiet, Haruka now seems feral and dangerous, looming over Kantarou with dark intent. "Oh," Kantarou says, laughing nervously, "I didn't mean to—"
"Don't," Haruka rasps. "Don't ever—"
Kantarou blinks. Against the night sky Haruka is a solid shadow, and what light there is turns his face a ghostly gray. And his eyes…his eyes glitter with barely-controlled danger, but there is something else in his expression. Kantarou catches his breath. What if... "What might happen, Haruka?" he goads, his voice barely a whisper. "What if I did it again?" His small hand reaches up to the shiny black wings and slowly, deliberately moves against them in the wrong direction.
Haruka growls, his fangs showing now as his lips part in a terrifying grin. For a moment Kantarou fears his throat is about to be torn out, but instead the sharp teeth close gently on his pale neck and nip him softly there, moving upward until they are mouth to mouth. Kantarou shivers with desire; above him Haruka shifts and lowers himself, the evidence of his arousal all too apparent as he presses against his master's body.
"Haruka," Kantarou sighs against Haruka's mouth. "Show me what might happen." His pale arms reach up to encircle Haruka's neck. "Show me, show me."
Kantarou is not as young as he looks.
People take him for an adolescent instead of a grown man. While sometimes this has worked in his favor (when he wants to appear naïve and harmless, for example) for the most part his appearance has proved disadvantageous when he wishes to be taken seriously. Those who know him by his writings take him as a mature author…until they happen to meet him, at which time he is labeled a "prodigy" or brushed off as an immature talent. Even Youko, who knows better, tends to treat him as a petulant child.
It's something he's learned to live with over the years. It's not likely to change. But his childishness is a façade; inside, Kantarou is old, and sometimes wise. Kantarou knows exactly what he wants.
Haruka is not as old as he really is.
That's not literally true. He's old – immensely old, in fact, but within his tengu breast his heart is a child's heart. He who knows so much of the darkness, is captivated by the light, by how it sparkles in a pond, or reflects in a glass marble. In many ways, for all his dangerous abilities and shadowed past, Haruka sees the world around him with innocent eyes.
He has taken the measure of his master, but he cannot fully comprehend Kantarou, or understand what moves him. And it is precisely that fact that has brought him to this point, with Kantarou sprawled before him, the look in those odd eyes very adult indeed, so adult, in fact, that Haruka is startled by the intensity of it.
Haruka is old, immensely old, and he has seen and done things that make demons fear him and humans revere him. He has felt desire from humans before, and submitted to them, but even so he's not certain how he and Kantarou arrived at this point, with Kantarou offering himself body and soul for the taking. Haruka never saw it coming, not in all the mocking and provoking that Kantarou has done, not in the ordering and demanding, not in Kantarou's petulance or in his own indifference. He didn't know they were headed for this even tonight on the rooftop, when Kantarou playfully groomed his feathers, and the innocent touches turned intimate. He thought it was a mistake, that Kantarou had pushed him too far simply out of ignorance.
How wrong he was. It seems he was the ignorant one after all, not Kantarou.
Because instead of fleeing when Haruka flung him down on the rooftop, growling with rising lust, Kantarou pulled him closer and rolled his hips against Haruka's loins. And when Haruka gathered him roughly into his arms and flew with him to a clearing in the woods, and stood over him panting with sexual arousal, Kantarou merely smiled – not the smile of a child, oh no! – and calmly undressed, slowly, provocatively. And when, astonished, Haruka took a step back and opened his eyes wide, Kantarou lay down and opened his arms wide, and in a voice roughened by desire whispered Haruka, Haruka, in a chant as powerful as those he uses to charm spirits, but did not make it an order. He's left the choice to Haruka.
Haruka thinks he should be angry. He has been outmaneuvered by this ridiculous child-man, he of the peculiar habits and silly questions and annoying demands. He should turn and fly away, to perch somewhere until he calms.
Instead, he kneels, and gathers the annoying manipulator into his arms. | {

Spotted learning about equine ancestors.
Spotted on the street of a temporary childhood home. We lived there while my father did a photography project at Harvard. Apple meet tree.
Created in the spirit of Wee Traveling Horse (also here on Facebook) and Flat Stanley, as seen on Third Watch.
Reason for the trip. Mother-in-law needed a ride to pick up her new dog.
Since I was at the breeder anyway, I picked up one for us.
You are beginning to make me wonder how someone who can acquire other critters so casually and easily has managed NOT to find a new horse yet!
aww! when do we get to see a better pic of your new dog? what's his/her name?
Hmmm, Methinks MIL needs to ask for help with her newly acquired equine. Then your horse problem would be solved. | {

Trump opens habitat for endangered owl to harvest timber
No Comments on Trump opens habitat for endangered owl to harvest timber
Environmentalists said that claim was not supported by the agency's own evidence. In December, the Fish and Wildlife Service ruled that the northern spotted owl should in fact be reclassified, as endangered rather than threatened, but the agency said it would not take action to do so because that it had "higher priority actions".
Now the administration is removing essential protection, say scientists.
The northern spotted owl lives in forests with a dense, multi-layered canopy and other characteristics that take 150 to 200 years to develop, the Fish and Wildlife Service said. They usually mate for life and reproduce relatively slowly. Threatened by logging and land conversion, they were protected in 1990 after a bitter political struggle, but their numbers have continued to decline by about 4 percent a year on average, according to the service.
Although the preserved habitat offers "some protection," the Oregon service executive wrote on its website, "past trends suggest that much of the remaining unprotected habitat could be lost in 10 to 30 years. To make matters worse, the barred owl of the eastern United States presented a new challenge, entering its habitat and vying for the same resources. Forest fires aggravated by climate change are a growing threat.
The forestry industry claims the federal government is protecting millions of acres of forest that is not occupied by owls. In April, the American Forest Resource Council, a regional industry group that lobbies for logging on public lands, announced it had reached an agreement with the service that would launch a reassessment of the protected habitat of the owl. In August, after what the service called "a review of the best scientific and commercial information available," it proposed to reduce the protected area by about 205,000 acres.
The forestry group applauded the much larger reduction announced on Wednesday that opens more than three million acres.
"This rule will better align critical habitat for the Northern Spotted Owl with actual habitat, federal laws, and modern forest science at a time when unprecedented and severe wildfires threaten both owls and people. from northern California to Washington state, "Travis Joseph, president of the Forest Resources Council, said in a statement.

> they could not have understood the concept.
""The king's body was simply a shadow after he died but his ka lived on as the pyramid and his ba ascended to heaven on the smoke of incense where it communed with his ka (at the ben ben raised on the instrument of ascension which had built itself). It was through cremation that he was akhified (turned into force which built the pyramid/ the pyramid/ and all of nature) and his "shadow/ body" protected from corruption and degradation forever. The king lived as the pyramid for as long as people remembered him""
How is 'Heaven' not a superstition? This sounds awfully like a religion to me - a wrong religion and one you made up and not the AE are you now saying you didn't really mean all this? | {

Identifying and Managing Cloud-Based and Third-Party Risk
With the industry moving to software as a service for cloud-hosted platforms, there's the assumption that these types of services are confidential, widely available and have data integrity. This isn't always the case, as increasing reliance and exposure to third parties comes with new risks. Join Rockwell Scott as he outlines those risks and misconceptions. Learn the steps you must be taking to ensure vendors meet your needs and gain an understanding of opportunities to better protect your organization when using the cloud.
Rockwell Scott, CISSP
Chief Information Officer, Delek U.S. Holdings
In Case of Breach: Strategizing Incident Response Practices
How do defense tactics differ depending on attack vectors? What ways must an incident in a cloud-based environment be handled differently? In this Executive Boardroom, Jan van der Aa and Chris Madeksho outline a real-world case study of a full-fledged assault on email accounts in the cloud. The session then opens up to a collaborative discussion where participants outline how their own organizations would handle threats. Work across sectors to examine tactics and best practices to prepare for, respond to and follow-up on an incident. - Sponsored by ExtraHop -

Social Engineering to Mitigate Insider Threats
Your workforce can be your greatest ally, but they can also be a significant threat. Special Agent Tim Marsh brings FBI case studies to identify common insider risks and the dangers they pose to organizations. Learn how to recognize risky human behaviors within and around your organization and gain an understanding of how to use that knowledge to identify these threats and understand tactics to mitigate problems before they start.
Timothy S. Marsh
Counterintelligence/Cyber Program Private Sector Coordinator, Federal Bureau of Investigation Memphis Field Office
Defining Better Risk Assessment Standards
While risk assessments are necessary to identify crucial gaps in security, the 200-plus-word surveys that are common often lack the cohesion and standardization necessary to easily and clearly provide solid answers. This Executive Boardroom discussion takes aim at the root causes of what isn't working and develops best practices to create tactical, more streamlined assessments.
Executive Director, VUMC Enterprise Cybersecurity, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Steven Barnard
Vice President, Information Technology, EnergySolutions
Mending the System: Leveraging a More Inclusive Talent Pool
The talent shortage in information security is nothing new, and yet, organizations are put under continuous stress as the issue grows. This deep-dive gets down to the root behind the shortage, identifying opportunities to improve educational programs and develop tactics and best practices to identify and secure viable talent.

Secure Strategies: Cyber Security Maturity Assessment and Roadmap
How mature are our current cyber capabilities? How mature should they be based on our size and industry? How do we compare to others? How do we build a multi-year roadmap to fill the gaps? These are all questions that most information security executives are asking today. These are questions A.O. Smith began asking in 2015. Hear how A.O. Smith worked to create a customized maturity assessment model and roadmap. Learn how they implemented that multi-year plan all while continuously updating the model and reporting to the Board.
Paul Novak
Vice President of IT, A.O. Smith
Cultivating Confidence in Digital Transformation
Today, new technology capabilities are vastly outpacing those from just a few years ago. Oftentimes, it's still a struggle to understand what exposure vectors are and how to create an integrated strategy that enables innovation while managing risk around the most important parts of new and evolving business operations. The new face of business requires organizations to manage and coordinate cross-functionally, with more fluidity and agility than ever before. When it comes to digital risk, many leaders are grappling with where to start, where to go next and how to keep a sustainable and evolving strategy aligned with the business. This session will discuss critical capabilities for success in Digital Risk Management, and outline how organizations can gain confidence as they embrace digital transformations. - Sponsored by RSA -
Peter Beardmore
Director of Marketing for Digital Risk Management Solutions, RSA
Hacker Lab: Closing the Gaps in Cyber Defense
Cyber breach headlines are now commonplace despite our best efforts and increasing investments in "next gen" technologies. The reason – cyber criminals adapt – sometimes taking advantage of the very tools we use for protection. To understand how cyber criminals still get through traditional defenses and move undetected within a network to compromise systems, you must enter the mind of a hacker. In this session, Josh Smith and Robert Dowling examine the changing cyber threat landscape and present a live cyber-attack to demonstrate threat-faithful tactics used by motivated cyber criminals. As the attack unfolds, you'll see the both the attacker's and the victim's screens as an Elite Ethical Hacker moves among systems and steals data. - Sponsored by Dynetics -

Optimizing your GRC
Employing Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) technology enables the organization, leadership and operation of IT areas within a business, ensuring all elements align with a company's strategic objectives. The model ensures corporate risk strategy is balanced, with defined responsibilities for risk oversight, and that accountability is clearly defined. Scott Breece examines the fundamental components for successful GRC implementation and optimal use, enabling compliance with regulatory requirements and sound financial, operational and regulatory decision-making on managing enterprise risks. - Sponsored by Forescout Technologies -
Scott Breece
Vice President of Security and Chief Information Security Officer, Community Health Systems
Gaining C-Suite Buy-In
To gain approval and financial backing from your executives, you have to be prepared. Preparation comes in many forms such as confidence, business sense, technical expertise, understanding their mindsets, self-awareness and support of your peers. Your goal is to make them aware of the threats posed to the organization and the remediations needed. Internal and external forces will help you get acceptance now and in the future. You will succeed if you are prepared.
Aaron J. Goodwin
Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer, B. Riley Wealth
Ensuring Your Incident Response Plan Works When You Need it Most
Last year, East Tennessee State University (ETSU) became the victim of a phishing attack that resulted in a potential data breach of sensitive employees' information. This session provides a deep dive into ETSU's incident response (IR) plan, from incident identification to resolution and lesson learned. The session will examine the role of key internal and external partnerships and discuss how the slower and meticulous approach to evidence gathering affects senior leadership's damage control plan. This session will also look at how ETSU transformed its security controls and IR plan after post mortem incident review.
Andrea di Fabio
Chief Information Security Officer and Associate Chief Information Officer, East Tennessee State University
Overhauling Cybersecurity Infrastructure
Les Mathews and Robert Ridenour will discuss creating a cybersecurity program based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework that includes risk management, procedure development and controls implementation. The success of the University of Tennessee System Administration (UTSA) IT security program is based on a sound plan developed from the Framework as well as engagement by the leadership and staff of UTSA. Les and Robert will outline how they accomplished both of these tasks.

Navigating Security and Privacy On-Prem and in the Cloud
With an ever-changing threat landscape, we've seen the convergence of Data Privacy and Cybersecurity functions as a response to those shifting risks. To stay ahead of bad actors, these two teams need to work closely together to ensure they have a complete data protection program in place to cover all aspects of data security. This session will outline key components of effective data security programs within organizations and within the cloud. This is all with the ultimate goal of establishing an environment in which data privacy and data protection teams across the State of Tennessee are able to successfully fulfil regulatory and state obligations, both individually and in concert, through diffusion of knowledge and supportive connections.
Peter Gallinari
Domain Information Security Officer, State of Tennessee, Department of Finance and Administration
Using AI and Automation to Protect Against Emerging and Advanced Threats
Beyond buzzwords, AI and automation capabilities are making great strides in disrupting and improving cybersecurity. This Executive Boardroom is a collaborative deep dive into demystifying common misconceptions and identifying opportunities where AI and automation have great potential. Join Dr. Kevin Mahoney and John Jeffries as they outline opportunities to implement AI and UEBA to fortify protection, defense and remediation capabilities. - Sponsored by Fortinet -

This was the first show of a 2-night stand at Seattle Center Arena (now known as Mercer Arena) – a hockey arena turned multi-purpose entertainment venue built in 1912 with a capacity of about 5,000. This was Phish's first appearance at Seattle Center Arena. Tickets cost $20 and both shows were sold out. Baby Gramps opened. The Night Moves Jam (with lyrics) in set I gave Trey an opportunity to introduce the band vs. audience chess match "the four of us against all of you". He explained that every night they would start the show with the band move and then the audience should visit the Greenpeace table at setbreak to formulate the audience response. He added, "as we said last night, we will crush you." Fish played vacuum during the Slave To The Traffic Light jam. | {

On Windows, when transparent TCP tunneling is used, '%DESTINATION_HOSTNAME%' is supported as the hostname definition. This option exists for backward compatibility reasons. From 6.0 onwards, you can define that Tectia ConnectSecure uses the destination IP address received from the tunneled application with setting Transparent Tunnels → Filter Rules → Use host name from the application (in XML configuration: hostname-from-app="yes"). | {

As soon as Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua had captured Ai and had devoted it to destruction, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them, he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were warriors. So Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, "Come up to me and help me, and let us strike Gibeon. For it has made peace with Joshua and with the people of Israel." Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered their forces and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibeon and made war against it.
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, "Do not relax your hand from your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country are gathered against us." So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands. Not a man of them shall stand before you." So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal. And the Lord threw them into a panic before Israel, who struck them with a great blow at Gibeon and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah. And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-horon, the Lord threw down large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died because of the hailstones than the sons of Israel killed with the sword.
So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah. And the Lord gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel. And he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it. And he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish and laid siege to it and fought against it. And the Lord gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day and struck it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Lachish to Eglon. And they laid siege to it and fought against it. And they captured it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. And he devoted every person in it to destruction that day, as he had done to Lachish.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron. And they fought against it and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its towns, and every person in it. He left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and devoted it to destruction and every person in it.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned back to Debir and fought against it and he captured it with its king and all its towns. And they struck them with the edge of the sword and devoted to destruction every person in it; he left none remaining. Just as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and to its king.
So Joshua struck the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, but devoted to destruction all that breathed, just as the Lord God of Israel commanded. And Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon. And Joshua captured all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in Naphoth-dor on the west, to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. And they came out with all their troops, a great horde, in number like the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. And all these kings joined their forces and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
And Joshua turned back at that time and captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword, for Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms. And they struck with the sword all who were in it, devoting them to destruction; there was none left that breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire. And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua captured, and struck them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. But none of the cities that stood on mounds did Israel burn, except Hazor alone; that Joshua burned. And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the people of Israel took for their plunder. But every person they struck with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed. Just as the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses. | {

Эдвин Клебс (; 6 февраля 1834, Кёнигсберг — 23 октября 1913, Берн) — немецкий бактериолог и патологоанатом.
Биография
Родился в Кёнигсберге 6 февраля 1834 года.
С 1852 года изучал медицину в Кёнигсбергском университете, с 1855 года — у Рудольфа Вирхова в Вюрцбургском университете. В 1858 году получил докторскую степень доктора медицины в Берлинском университете. В следующем году прошёл хабилитацию в Кёнигсбергском университете.
С 1861 года был ассистентом Рудольфа Вирхова; затем, с 1866 года был профессором последовательно в Берне, в Вюрцбурге (1872—1873), в Праге (1873—1882), в Цюрихе (1882—1892). Ушел из Цюрихского университета в 1893 году из-за разногласий с другими профессорами и вёл неудачный частный бизнес в Карлсруэ и Страсбурге.
В 1870 году во время франко-прусская войны служил военным врачом в прусской армии.
В 1895 году был приглашён в США, где возглавил бактериотерапевтический институт в Эшвилле (Северная Каролина) и, одновременно, с 1896 по 1900 год преподавал в Медицинском колледже Раша в Чикаго. В 1900 году вернулся в Германию; в 1905—1910 годах проводил частные исследования в Берлине, после чего вернулся в Швейцарию. Жил со своим старшим сыном в Лозанне.
Умер в Берне 23 октября 1913 года.
Эдвин Клебс известен тем, что впервые выделил бактерию Corynebacterium diphtheriae — возбудителя дифтерии (1884, совместно с Ф.Лёффлером). Изобрёл заливку гистологических препаратов парафином (1869).

Historic Opportunity in Solving Income Questions
With 25 years in the investment industry, Tim McCabe has participated firsthand in the dramatic rise of the defined contribution retirement system.
McCabe has been with Stadion Money Management since 2003, guiding distribution of the firm's discretionary 401(k) management services as national sales director. Before Stadion he was a vice president at Fidelity Investments, leading the Southeast region of Fidelity's Institutional Retirement Services Company.
McCabe says the first three decades of work in the defined contribution (DC) retirement planning sphere focused almost exclusively on questions of asset accumulation. Plan sponsors would worry about providing quality funds on the investment menu, but less attention was paid to the way participants actually used those funds—and whether the plan design as a whole could make successful outcomes likely. Advisers and service providers, too, were largely focused on issues of accumulation, McCabe says.
But with the aging and impending retirement of the Baby Boomers—basically the first generation to work something like a full career under the DC system—the industry's attention is shifting at an accelerated rate. McCabe says decumulation is quickly becoming not just a subject of concern for older workplace retirement investors—it's also the next frontier for industry innovators and opportunity seekers.
"This all comes out of the fact that the number one question and fear for a lot of people is, 'Am I going to have enough money in the 401(k) to support myself for a lengthy retirement?' " McCabe explains. "Both for in-plan and out-of-plan lifetime income products, we're seeing tremendous interest from literally all of the major providers in the industry, certainly all the partners we work with."
Importantly, there is as of yet little consensus on the best way to do lifetime income, McCabe adds, both inside and outside the plan environment. This makes it difficult for participants to get affordable lifetime income, or even to get sound guidance about some reasonable incomes strategies, he says.
And the list of hurdles goes on. A persistent low interest rate environment means any unit of lifetime income purchased today is going to be expensive in terms of the income it actually secures. What's more, lifetime income products are complex and are not yet sufficiently portable to meet the needs of job changers and investors looking to roll their assets into a unified account. Finally, it's far from clear how the Department of Labor (DOL) and other key regulators view the inclusion of lifetime income products on a plan menu.
"How do these products impact fiduciary liability for plan sponsors? This question is obviously top of mind for everyone involved," McCabe says.
McCabe says the fiduciary issue will be a particuarly tough nut to crack without action from the DOL. "Many participants can be expected to draw on an in-plan lifetime income product for 20 or 30 years during retirement—would the sponsor be on the hook for paying the income if the providing insurer ever folded?" he asks.
McCabe and others in the industry say that, until there is some type of additional safe harbor established by the DOL, the take-up will remain relatively low for in-plan lifetime income. "It's difficult to get these products to be accepted widely in the market, in spite of their appeal for participants," McCabe continues. "We will need at least some type of initial guidance on these products first, if not an outright safe harbor."
He says even the product providers who can usually be expected to resist new regulations from DOL are in favor of more guidance on in-plan lifetime income questions.
"I sat in on a conversation with four major providers on this very question less than month ago. Overall, the feeling was, for all of them, that they would welcome additional legislation and regulation, and they're actively lobbying on it so that they can get these products off the ground."
Jeff Keller, McCabe's colleague at Stadion and the firm's director of defined contribution investment only (DCIO) sales, says this question always comes up in client meetings.
"No matter who we are meeting with, we are seeing a focus on the matter of fiduciary liability for in-plan lifetime income," Keller says. "What's the level of risk you take on when offering one of these products to plan participants? It's somewhat unclear under current law."
Keller anticipates that leaders in the industry will continue to push the envelope on what's possible with in-plan and out-of-plan income guarantees. "Of course there are the questions that, as we develop the second and third generation of these products, we will need to address," he explains. "But there is already big innovation going on, and the more innovative insurance companies will be able to solve these issues. I'm confident about that."
Keller predicts the adoption of in-plan lifetime income will mirror the uptake of target-date funds (TDFs) within the DC industry. In the same way that TDFs exploded in popularity because they solve the specific (and critical) challenge of ensuring participants adjust their risk outlook as they age, lifetime income products can help solve the critical question of securing an income stream that won't run out late in life. "So we know these products will be popular," Keller says.
"We're all familiar with the challenges that surrounded TDFs," Keller continues. "We expect that, like TDFs, it will be difficult to name and benchmark lifetime income choices. Once we get five or 10 viable lifetime income options out there in the real world, they're going to look very different from one another, so it will require a new literacy for the sponsors to differential these products. That could eventually be more important than the differentiation that needs to take place among the target-date fund universe today, I believe."
Yet another important point is the timing of retirement, Keller observes.
"Where are we at in the market when that time for retirement comes and we look to purchase lifetime income for an individual?" he asks. "That's another major topic and all the potential players in the market want to know what the other guys are doing to optimize that process. Buying lifetime income in today's environment would not be so favorable, for example."

Georgia vs Uruguay on the 15th!
I recently heard about the Unofficial Football World Championships. The idea is quite simple. Starting from the first international football match in 1872, between Scotland and England which was hosted around the corner from my flat, a boxing like title could be claimed by the victors of the each game. So England were world champions in 1966 then Scotland won in 1967 making them the unofficial world champions. The next team to beat Scotland (which was Russia who lost it to Austria) takes the title away from them an so on.
Sides are awarded one ranking point for every title match victory, these points are then used to decide who has been the most successful. The strange part of this is that it proves Scotland to be the easily the best international football side ever.
So this is what leads me to proclaim Georgia vs Uruguay as the most important football game this month as Uruguay are the current world champions having claimed the title off Romania. The even more interesting part is that Georgia are in Scotland's qualifying group for Euro 2008, and after this friendly they meet in Georgia's next game in March. So if Georgia win they will be the world champions. This sets everything up perfectly for me to watch Scotland vs Georgia at Hampden in March.
I could be watching the world champions. | {

Кристіан ван Каувенберг (; 8 липня 1607 — 4 липня 1667) — нідерландський художник часів Золотої доби голландського живопису, майстер побутових та історичних картин. Представник Делфтської школи.
Життєпис
Походив з родини ювелірів. Син Гіліса ван Каувенберга, срібних справ майстра з Мехелену. Мати художника була сестрою живописця Якоба Восмаєра (фахівця з квіткового натюрморту). Народився 1604 року у м. Делфт. Навчався живопису в Яна ван Неса, який своєю чергою був учнем портретиста Міхеля ван Міревельта.
Напочтаку 1620-х років здійснив поїздку до Італії. Після повернення деякий час провів в Утрехті між 1624 і 1626 роками. 1627 року вступив до гільдії Св. Луки міста Делфт.
У 1630 році він одружився з представницею заможного роду ван дер Дуссен. З 1638 до 1647 року отримував численні замовлення від штатгальтера Фредеріка Генріха Оранського.Першою стала картина «Діана» (на тепер втрачена), за яку художник отримав 800 гульденів. В цей час фактично очолив живопис історичного напрямку в Делфті.
Взимку 1647—1648 року переїздить до Гааги, де входить в тамтешню гільдію Св. Луки. Втім надалі, попри значну спадщину від своєї дружини, яка померла в 1653 році, Кристіан ван Каувенберг накопичив численні борги. Тому у 1654 році він перебрався до Кельна, де продовжував створювати картини до своєї смерті в 1667 році.
Творчість
Спочатку на його стиль вплинули роботи фламандських майстрів Рубенса, Якоба Йорданса і Герріта ван Гонтгорста, інших утрехтських караваджистів. Перші роботи відносяться до 1624—1626 років.
Надалі Кристіан ван Каувенберг не пішов по шляху прямого наслідування останнім, але в алегоричних і жанрових творах часто звертався до спадщини відразу декількох живописців, зберігаючи при цьому лише йому одному властивий авторський почерк.
Створював міфологічні картини для палаців в Гонселаарсдейк і Рейсвейк (1638, 1642, 1643, 1647 роки). Також ван Каувенберг прикрашав фризами з мисливськими мотивами і військові трофеями причали в Оранеєзаал (1651 рік).
У жанрових творах 1630-х років Каувенберг відходить від театралізованих по духу декоративних сцен, якими він прикрашав палаци голландської знаті, і звертається до інтер'єрного жанру, оточуючи своїх персонажів побутовими речами. Від караваджизму художник зберігає лише великий масштаб фігур. Решта рис, насамперед увага до деталей, виразність жестів, невимушеність поз дійових осіб дозволяють дослідникам робити аналогії з принципами Гарлемської школи.
Ван Каувенберге також малював гобелени і сімейні портрети. Його зразки часто шаблони або незграбні. Проте, він мав чуття на широкі наслідки і м'які манери еротики, зокрема в біблійних сценах.
Родина

Hawraa Al-Hassan on Reading Resistance and Collaboration in Iraqi Novels
In Women, Writing and the Iraqi Ba'thist State: Contending Discourses of Resistance and Collaboration, 1968-2003 Hawraa Al-Hassan looks at Iraqi literary history through the lens of novels as a form of either resistance or collaboration:
By Tugrul Mende
Hawraa Al-Hassan's new scholarly work, out this month from Edinburgh University Press, reads four decades of state-sponsored and religious novels as forms of "resistance" and "collaboration." In a discussion over email, she talked about the novels that were important for her research.
Tugrul Mende: What led you to write this book, and how different is it from your dissertation?
Hawraa al-Hassan: My dissertation focused on reading the novels of Saddam Hussein in the context of the Iran/Iraq war novel. It drew on ideas from Media and Communication Studies, such as "mediatized literature," and focused on the role of the media and journalists in shaping the state-sponsored novel. The book, on the other hand, examines the symbolic status of women and the novel in the Iraqi cultural landscape. I felt that as a "proxy discourse," views on women could often illuminate state positions issues vis a vis identities it viewed as threatening, such as religious or ethnic groups, without attacking them directly in order not to upset the delicate balance of its nationalist discourse. The book also includes some resistive responses to state discourses on the nation and the place of both women and writing within it. So, in short, I included a new category of analysis in the book (women) in order to shed further light on certain parts of my dissertation.
TM: Could comparable work be done on the literature in other neighboring countries, such as Egypt or Lebanon?
HH: As someone whose background is in Comparative Literature, I believe there are potentially infinite connections that can be made between texts of different national traditions. Some of the prison writing in Egypt (for example, Nawal Al-Saadawi's Memoirs), has been placed alongside Haifa Zangana's prison memoirs, which I discuss in the book. However, because I use a cultural studies approach, which focuses on the embeddedness of texts that often have no transcendental quality, I would say that the Iraqi experience with the state-sponsored novel is quite singular in the Arab world. Therefore, it would be particularly difficult to compare it to say, a country like Lebanon, which does not have the same kind of history with authoritarianism.
TM: Can you elaborate on what you mean by resistance and collaboration? In what way do these terms represent the narratives in the novels you discuss?
Winner of a Saddam-era
literature prize.
HH: I take resistance to mean the production of a counter-narrative that challenges state discourse and attempts to forge new bonds and collectivities beyond state imperatives through that discourse. The book attempts to expand the range of discourses that can be seen as resistive, and to perhaps challenge the idea that resistance is always liberal or progressive. The example I use are didactic novels by Shia women which argued for traditional Islamic values in the face of what they saw as the onslaught of westernization espoused by the Ba'th. These texts voiced an identity which was marginalized discursively and was often threatened with violence, and one author of religious novels was imprisoned and executed by the Ba'th. It is important to note that the state marketed the novels it sponsored (including the novels of Saddam) as belonging to Arab "resistance literature"; a corpus of works with a long tradition of anti-imperialist struggle in the Arab world. Ultimately, resistance is often claimed by texts and their authors as a sort of symbolic moral badge but has also been utilized as a political tool for legitimation.
TM: What kind of source material, archive work, and methods did you use, particularly when looking through novels from the Saddam Hussein era?
HH: I began my research with the premise that it is more important that books exist than that they are read. I therefore questioned the very existence of propaganda novels in western academic libraries. How did they get there and who had distributed them? I found that it was western support for Saddam during his war with Iran which had facilitated the dissemination of these novels in libraries in Europe and the United States. At times, I even found dedications by individual authors of their works to specific libraries dated during the war.
In a similar vein, the existence of four novels penned by Saddam Hussein under a pseudonym seems to me more significant than questioning whether he actually wrote them. (He did!) A lot of the work I do involves very close reading of the texts. My methodology uses the concept of paratexts to complement the idea that texts that are overlooked often provide a treasure trove of sociohistorical information. In the same way, I examine seemingly peripheral parts of texts like the prefaces, dedications, and covers in order to arrive at a better understanding of the way cultural products circulate.
TM: What challenges did you face in translating the novel excerpts included in your research? Were there any existing translations?
HH: I translated excerpts from all the Arabic novels myself, including the novels by Saddam that have been translated into English. In my dissertation, I discuss the politicization and inaccuracy of the existing English translation of Saddam's first novel, which is why I decided not to use it. There are no translations of the Iran/Iraq war propaganda novels or the religious novels I examine in the book. The former was the most challenging to translate, due to the excessive use of military jargon and reportage style. The fact that all the texts I translated were written in Modern Standard Arabic, rather than in the Iraqi dialect, definitely made them easier for me to translate. The use of Modern Standard Arabic endowed didactic religious and political texts with authority, but also bled them of local colour. The best thing about translating propaganda texts is that you do not feel compelled to beautify or make them more pleasing aesthetically!
TM: The book's timeframe ends in 2003. But are there ways in which your work could be applicable to the current era, 2004-present?
HH: In the conclusion, I look at the directions in which the Iraqi novel has taken since the fall of Saddam. I look at three distinct currents. Firstly, dystopian literature — which is an expected outcome of the authoritarian experience. Most of the propaganda novels I read were very long and dense, with simple and straightforward plots. Suddenly, after the invasion of Iraq, you see the emergence of short novels that have no linear plot — very fragmented and disoriented — as a kind of a shock response to both state propaganda and the chaos and bloodshed that followed the toppling of the old regime.
The second current is novels that are pro-Ba'th. I look at a novel written by one writer who towed the state line during the Iran/Iraq war. This writer purportedly broke with the regime and immigrated to the US where he produced a text that he described as a "resistance literature" against the American invasion of his country, but which also expresses a clear nostalgia for the old regime.
You have a third current, which is the explosion in cultural production of previously marginalized identities. The book looks at the origins of "marginalizaton processes" by the Ba'thist state, which is a crucial step towards understanding the ways in which groups which now hold power in Iraq express themselves and the discourses of victimization and sacrifice which have emerged since the fall of Saddam. I think that these are the three main currents that have emerged in Iraqi cultural production in light of the themes discussed in the book.
Tugrul Mende holds an M.A. in Arabic Studies from the University of Leipzig. He is based in Berlin as an project coordinator and independent researcher.

"supportive of measures designed to reduce the prevalence of smoking amongst young people that are based on evidence and will be effective …. We would also have preferred to see further legislation aligning it with alcohol, for example making it an offence to attempt to buy tobacco or buying it on behalf of an underage person. We felt that would put tobacco on the same basis as alcohol."
The BRC runs a "cigarette issues working group", though its remit and membership is unknown.
In 2011, the Consortium called the proposed tobacco display ban an "unnecessary burden" and said that enforcing the ban when plain packaging was still being considered "risks pointless duplication".
"We were particularly disappointed that the Government chose to consult on plain packaging just after the ban was introduced. We believed that would have been a more comprehensive approach, standardising packaging both in stores and in the house where they could influence children. The plain packaging approach would have avoided the millions of pounds retailers have spent complying with the display ban."
Andrew Opie, BRC's Director of Food & Sustainability, was particularly disturbed by the fact that the consultation was announced a week after the display ban had come in to force for all larger shops in England, on the 6 April 2012, stating "So much for joined up government and minimising burdens on business. Having just forced large retailers to spend almost £16 million refitting stores to hide tobacco products the Government is now confirming it's considering legislation on packaging."
In its submission to the UK Government's first consultation on plain packaging, British American Tobacco (BAT) used the 'crazy' quote to underline the argument of "burdensome over-regulation".
"Having just forced large retailers to spend almost £16m refitting stores to hide tobacco products the government is now confirming it's considering legislation on packaging – that's crazy. (Andrew Opie, Food Director, British Retail Consortium, 13 April 2012.)"
"British Retail Consortium says refitting for tobacco display ban costs average of £2,285 - 2000% more than ASH claimed."
In 2007, the Scottish Retail Consortium (the BRC's Scottish branch) submitted a response to the Government's draft regulation on smoking.
A year later, in May 2008, when the Scottish Government published its Smoking Prevention Action Plan, which called for licenses for premises selling tobacco and a Point of Sale display ban, the BRC's Scottish branch said the former would amount to "a mass of costly and pointless bureaucracy" and said that there was "no evidence" to support a tobacco display ban.
The Scottish Parliament backed the measures in January 2010 and it was granted Royal Assent two months later. However, its implementation was delayed by legal action taken by Imperial, which argued that there was no credible evidence that display bans have cut tobacco consumption, and used the arguments of the BRC to defend the appeal against the regulation in 2012: "They go against the principle of adult choice, they are anti-competitive and they place an unnecessary cost burden on retailers - £16m was spent by large retailers in England refitting stores, according to the British Retail Consortium."
In the leaked documents, PMI identified all those whom it considered to be major players in the UK legislative decision-making process.
PMI presented a model centred around UK Prime Minister David Cameron, the "decision maker". Cameron, at the epicentre, was surrounded by nine "formal/informal advisors" who in turn were surrounded by a large number of "influencers" including MPs, Lords, Government departments and a series of non-governmental organisations, charities and lobby groups (see Image). Included amongst the lobby groups was the BRC.

"Welcome to my article, this time I will discuss about smartcontractchain about 4 things that must be considered from SCC and 4 smartcontractchain technologies but before entering in this discussion please first consider a little about the explanation of the introduction of the following smartcontractchain"
You don't need to worry about this SCC platform that has been provided very clearly and also safely, which is an investment developer and the campaign inside it is also reliable. The practice used has been done with the best who is in a crowdfunding room by the SCC team and also needs to know that this is transparent and clearly the process is supported by the blockchain. For those of you who are on any project, this already has the visibility that you need in terms of security in each project that you have.
I will give a few examples so that you can better understand that what will be launched and given in the campaign is that a minimum of 70% of tokens by the creator of the project are to those of you who support. Additions to the smart contract are between supporters and creators. For example, if you buy a platform-specific token with BTC or ETH, then the token will be sent as a loan form to the wallet, the release will be done by the maker when the full fund goal has been raised (ILP workflow to SCC) will be closed and smart contract will also be cancelled for supporters of their funds will get less.
Know that the purpose of designing this SCC platform is to help companies/projects, and from this design, an entrepreneur will use a newborn coin as a tool and a job. This support is in the form of several funding options and an opportunity for the benefits that will be given to investors will be in various ways.
I will demonstrate that those who create content can pour tokens that will help service providers into their start-up process. Which includes content translation, social posting and presenting other investors or the process can be directly measured and marked / shared.
"ok we go into the core discussion"
You need to know to participate in the crowdfunding platform, not all countries are legally permitted in the list of countries that have been registered, maybe this is a burden for creators because they have to find investors from countries that have been registered because the platform has no cross-border investment so this creator must be smart in looking for other than a country that is not permitted.
You should know that the rates on this crowdfunding platform are not as cheap as you might think because of the many burdens on the platform even this is a high of 20% of the funds collected for their commission making funds with and lower than the fund makers made their actual goals significant is operational.
The number of projects that fail and have not been able to provide proof of refunds in investment, so doubts to invest in projects that are known to be new that already exist in the platform you must be smart to choose as professional investors.
For investors, this should be taken into account because there are not so many budgets and strategies in marketing that crowdfunding uses, which functions to bring an initial message to you as an investor. This is no other for prevention of free investment flow because maybe you do not know the project's greatness or the potential for the right funds for your funds to be included so be careful that it is very necessary.
You need to know that providing a compatible wallet on this SCC platform is with an existing ethereum exchange and convenience for you to withdraw and purchase tokens. For those of you who already have SCC tokens, you can use any wallet that certainly supports the ethereum ERC20 contract, for holders of flexibility to freely use whatever services you like. Then you need to know that the stock wallet can be supported for purchase transactions from cryptocurrency, for example, BTC, ETH etc. In terms of this interaction can be with the platform from the web including the web, desktop and mobile devices, very good, right ?!
You need to know that the dosbor and projects on the SCC platform match the construction of modern software. This SCC communication platform is the backend service which uses the microservice architecture. Know this backend function is to be responsible for analyzing the issuers of new tokens after being able to invest from dosbor. For this user, you can also explore the project and filter it from your location or type of project as well as other information that the user has which can be stored in the backend service. Then this SCC platform will create a project and identity verification action. For this development process in the field above the admin side so that the security of supporting funds and the makers of these tokens can be confirmed.
Do you know who controls the business logic of the token fund is a smart contract in ethereum JSON-RPC blockchain and IPC calls where this is a wallet communication network with ethereum clients. This web3 wrapper that is used Daemon ethereum is hosted on every machine miner or on AWS to interact with the outside world. Then after the project is created with a list of scheduled items already registered in this smart contract, the project maker's responsibility is to comply with the schedule and time. Funds will automatically be transferred to the project maker account based on the time of completion. when the target is not met the supporters do not need to worry because the funds will be returned.
Next, you must know that this SCC exchange has a high frequency that is offered to professionals and also institutions where they can trade with various tokens that they distribute through the SCC platform. provided by the user to start an account on the exchange are KYC and other identification details. owned by supporters is a book where this book is for orders in digital commerce in the form of pairs of tokens and security. Which is used by this trading machine that is with decentralized exchanges that are useful for storing successful orders and increasing the privacy and orders that have been traced. Road building The SCC trade exchange algorithm is useful for matching two things to an offer and demand which consists of one asset that is traded automatically.
