Today I discovered that Karine Polwart and some friends are releasing a new musical offering, available for preorder. It’s called The Lost Words: Spell Songs, and it’s a companion to the book of poetry by the same title. The book, written by Robert Macfarlane and illustrated by Jackie Morris, was born through a unique vision. From the book’s Amazon page: “In 2007, when a new edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary ― widely used in schools around the world ― was published, a sharp-eyed reader soon noticed that around forty common words concerning nature had been dropped. Apparently they were no longer being used enough by children to merit their place in the dictionary. The list of these “lost words” included acorn, adder, bluebell, dandelion, fern, heron, kingfisher, newt, otter, and willow. “
Spells are words that intend, that create, and in this case, recall. From the notes for the album, Robert explains: “We’ve got more than 50% of species in decline. And names, good names, well used can help us see and they help us care. We find it hard to love what we cannot give a name to. And what we do not love we will not save.” The spells are in poetic form; I have not seen them yet. The difference between spells and some poetry is, that spells must be spoken. In fact that’s the origin of the word ‘spell’. So Macfarlane hopes with his poetry to encourage our re-calling of fading species of planet Earth.
And one of my favorite Scottish artists, Karine Polwart, has stepped up to this plate, along with some of her buddies. I have been a fan for quite some time; Polwart is a preeminent Scottish folk singer-songwriter. I discovered her material years ago, through her first independent album, actually: Faultlines. Karine’s range of topics and genres is notable, even for a contemporary folk musician. Her formal education in philosophy shows, as she writes in depth social commentary, nature-based love ballads, and compassionate story-based portraits of folks from various times and places. Her Scottish roots also afford her much in the way of traditional material, always rendered in a unique style. One of my favorite compositions of hers, about water:
I think that’s her brother Steven on guitar, and the kalimba player and vocalist is Inge Thomson, who has been with her for some time. So now, who said a degree in philosophy is useless?
Karine is promoting yet another album right now; the woman seems tireless. I received the promotion in my email, and this is the song currently chosen to lead the way:
Another touching drama, social commentary, more lovely nature poetry, the hallmark philosophical perspective, and Polwart seems unstoppable after almost 20 years of prominent musical career. I have always said, as a fiddler, that the Scots do a lament better than anyone on the planet. That heart rending has healing properties. Chance comes with the album Scottish Songbook now available for preorder on the usual platforms. Polwart’s website here
I could add more praise. But this is initially a short promotion of The Lost Words album. The website and preorder here. Three songs are already available, the target date for the rest is July 12. The song that caught my ear, and heart, is this one, a song about selkies, a lovely mythic being of the British Isles;
Finally, I shall not resist my favorite song of hers along similar traditional story lines. The song concerns a tale I have usually seen here in the States attributed to Irish lore, the story of how the tiny wren became king of birds. I don’t believe the story is necessarily Irish, since there is a tradition of ritual wren-killing in other countries of the Isles, as well. The tale is that there was a convention of the birds, to decide the king of them all. The one who flew the highest would get the crown. For a version, go here
The song was written in honor of the Occupy movement, or as Polwart says in concerts, it’s a hymn to that group. Enjoy!

Loose-leaf teas got the maximum amount of anti-oxidants and anti-cancer characteristics than any other tea and are very helpful in clearing complexions.
Fairhope, AL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/01/2014 -- Tea bags constitute about 95% of tea revenue in US nowadays. These teabags however have the cheapest tea accessible, creating a bit more than the usual brown-colored fluid. Since teabags are often produced from the opposite i.e. low grade teas, for example tea dust and leaf fanning’s. Fannings and dust are smaller bits of tea, so that they are in large quantities than entire leaves. A bigger area means more possibilities for that vital oils (which creates tea tasty and fragrant) to escape, making the tea stale and dull. Quality is the main problem with common teabags.
For this reasons loose tea is generally considered far better than teabags. Loose leaf teas are the teas that are not made in a teabag. It has space for water to be absorbed by the tea leaves and enlarge as they infuse, whenever one steep loose-leaf tea. This enables the water to flow via the leaves and remove a broad range of minerals, vitamins, aromas and flavors from tea leaves.
When people buy loose leaf tea, they get the whole package with all their essential oils unchanged and original flavor. In contrast, the tea leaves that one got in tea bags are tea dust and leaf fragments left during the picking and processing of the tea leaves. Tea dust and the dried leaf fragments packed into tea bags do not contains the vital oils present in the loose leaf and are usually of greatly inferior quality when compared with loose tea leaves.
Teasyteas.com is a site founded by Marshall Malone that markets various types of teas. He started Teasyteas after closing of his cafe. He makes most of the enhancement of Teasyteas using the resources and funds produced from his 1st week sales.

US President George Bush on Wednesday said Syria should withdraw its military and its secret services from Lebanon.
Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said Washington was trying to protect its chief ally in the region, Israel.
"The Lebanese must beware of falling into the trap of foreigners who, using beautiful words, pursue their own political objectives," he said.
"To secure the interests of Israel in the region, the Americans are putting pressure on Syria to withdraw its forces," Kharrazi told the official IRNA news agency in Tehran on Wednesday.
Thousands of Lebanese have protested in the streets of Beirut after last week's assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri, calling for the withdrawal of Syrian troops.
"The Lebanese must beware of falling into the trap of foreigners who, using beautiful words, pursue their own political objectives"
Iranian foreign minister
But Kharrazi said: "It is the Lebanese officials who have to decide about the withdrawal of Syrian forces and America's insistence and that of some European states is interference in Lebanon's internal affairs."
Iran and Syria, both locked in rows with the United States, said during the visit of Syrian Prime Minister Naji al-Otari to Tehran last week that they would form a common front to face challenges and threats.
Bush said Washington would wait to see how Syria responded before possibly seeking United Nations sanctions.
"We will see how they (Syrians) respond before there are any further discussions about going back to the United Nations," he told a news conference after talks with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on Wednesday.

Orgyen Terja tea business – Sustainable economic development
In 2019, working with the local nomad community, Kilung Foundation successfully established an herb tea business, Orgyen Terja, in Dzachuka.
In folk stories, Orgyen Terja was brought to Tibet as a hidden treasure by Guru Rinpoche. The dried leaf made tea has been traditionally enjoyed by Tibetans for hundreds of years. However, in recent years, this herb tea was almost forgotten. But its delicate flavor and healthful properties inspired us to revive it for the benefit of people drinking it, and also to promote local economic development.
Professors in Peking University identified the herb as Potentilla tatsienluensis.


text: One Night Of Misbehavior by Shelley Munro is a fabulous read. Ms. Munro has given us a well-written book packed with outstanding characters. Charlotte stays home and takes care of her step-grandmother. She's a regular Cinderella, cleaning and cooking for her step-mother and step-sisters. Ash is the owner of an advertising agency. Charlotte and Ash's story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle and suspense. I enjoyed reading this fun book and look forward to reading more from Shelley Munro soon. One Night Of Misbehavior is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Minecraft is a game that should be shared with friends. Sometimes everyone will get involved to build something awesome, sometimes they will use mods to recreate Elden Ring, and sometimes they will explore online servers to see what the internet has in store for them. However, if you’re online and playing with strangers, sometimes things can get messy, and that seems to be what the latest Minecraft snapshot is trying to address.
Minecraft Snapshot 22W24A it’s here now, and it’s building towards 1.19.1 by introducing some bug fixes and two new features. The main one here is the chat report, which allows you to report players who send “abusive messages” in the in-game chat. It’s worth noting that the blog explains that “reports made during the trial period may not be acted upon”, but the ability to kick toxic players is an integral part of any online game, so this could be a good step.
Chat reports can be accessed on the social interactions screen, and you’ll need to report individual chat messages along with choosing a category for them as well. Presumably this is to prevent the system itself from being abused, as you can’t just create a generic report of a player: you have to specify what you’ve done, and the blog indicates that your report will then go through a moderation team. There’s no telling yet what will constitute a genuine and actionable report, but it’s all worth knowing all the same.
Other than that, the other big change is that you can now duplicate the wonderful minecraft combo. You can do this by giving them an amethyst shard, but the duplication has a 2.5 minute cooldown. This should help alleviate issues related to how many mobs there are. Besides, more than one pretty thing can only be good news, right?
In less official news, we are huge fans of this Mario Kart mod for Minecraft. It’s in addition to the go-karts we all know and love, but also with some cool aquatic features.

Why affluent families can’t hold onto their wealth
- An estimated $80 trillion dollars will pass on to future generations in the U.S. over the next 30 to 40 years—and most families are woefully unprepared.
- Ninety percent of family wealth will disappear in just three generations.
- Lack of communication, trust and recipient planning—not bad investment results—is most often the cause of family wealth evaporation.
What parent out there doesn’t want a better life for his or her children or grandchildren? I don’t know of any. But research shows that 90 percent of family wealth will disappear in just three generations.
It’s not a new phenomenon. The ancient Chinese called it going from rice paddies to rice paddies in three generations. We call it shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations. The Iroquois believe that our actions today will affect the next seven generations, just as the actions of the seventh generation before us now affect us. That really expands your mind.
Why can‘t families hold onto their wealth?
Estate planners Roy Williams and Vic Preisser wrote a great book called Preparing Heirs based on interviews with over 3,000 affluent families. They found that 70 percent of family wealth is gone even by the second generation. Why? According to Williams and Preisser, 60 percent of the time it’s due to lack of communication and trust among the family members, and 25 percent of the time it’s from inadequate planning by the heirs. Only 3 percent of the time is it due to financial and investment results!
There are three important areas to focus on.
- Human capital. Educating and training each person within the family so they can distinguish themselves as unique and special individuals as they grow up.
- Intellectual capital. The collective capital and wisdom of the family unit drawing from the first, second, third, and even the fourth generation. Just as the Iroquois do.
- Financial capital. The businesses and investments that allow the family to move on down the road and have a more successful generation down the line.
We’re bringing this topic up because there are over 5 million people in the U.S. who have substantial wealth. Over the next 30 to 40 years, an estimated $80 trillion is going to be passed on to future generations. Even more eye-opening is the fact that 120 million Americans have not updated or do not have a formal estate plan. Pretty scary.
To that end, National Estate Planning Awareness Week is coming up October 20-26. It’s designed to help give (and receive) the vast amount of wealth that’s going to be transferred as the boomer generation retires and eventually passes on. It’s a major issue for many Americans and will have a profound impact on the next several generations.
Also this month we’re holding our annual Technology Open House on October 9th from 5 pm to 9 pm right here in our offices. We’re going to have 20-minute sessions on connecting family and finances, protecting yourself from identity theft, simplifying social media, video conferencing, accessing websites for custodians, and using technology to improve your health. You can register online here or all Karyn at 871-441-5644 to register.
We hope to see you there. Best, Gary

The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything
Stephen M.R. Covey with Rebecca R. Merrill, Free Press, 400 p., 2008 (5th edition)
"Trust is the key skill for all leaders in our new global economy" - says author Stephen M.R. Covey in his book 'Speed through Trust'. However, if you take a look at the statistics, you can see that we are in a deep crisis of trust. Only 49% of Germans believe they can trust others. Even many business relationships are rooted in the idea that both parties cannot trust each other, so certain costly, bureaucratic controls must be maintained. Covey refers to this as a trust tax, which causes people to communicate less openly and slows the pace of business. The question is whether these costs and time spent securing deals would even be necessary if there were a trusting relationship between the parties. Would companies be faster and more profitable if trusting relationships existed between employees, colleagues, and customers? Covey explores these questions and describes techniques for leaders to create or restore trust.
Stephen M.R. Covey is the former executive director of the Covey Leadership Center. Covey credits his success primarily to his understanding and establishment of trust, as well as its, often underestimated, positive effects. For him, trust is the basis for all communication, relationships, projects and successes. He uses many examples, some of his own, from his career to show how trust inside and outside the company affects the economic and financial results of the company. According to this, trust always influences speed and costs: when trust increases, speed increases and costs decrease. Covey justifies this, among other things, with the so-called trust dividend, which produces not only greater speed and better profitability, but also greater personal happiness and enjoyment of life.

The Oxford Companion to the Mind
Richard Langton Gregory, Professor of Neuropsychology Department of Experimental Psychology Richard L Gregory
Oxford University Press, 2004 - 1004 σελίδες
The Oxford Companion to the Mind is a classic. Published in 1987, to huge acclaim, it immediately took its place as the indispensable guide to the mysteries - and idiosyncracies - of the human mind. In no other book can the reader find discussions of concepts such as language, memory, and intelligence, side by side with witty definitions of common human experiences such as the 'cocktail-party' and 'halo' effects, and the least effort principle.
Richard Gregory again brings his wit, wisdom, and expertise to bear on this most elusive of subjects. Research into the mind and brain has moved on in bounds in recent years, and interest in the subject has never been so high. There has been a shift in focus away from Freud's concept of the unconscious onto consciousness itself. The new edition of the Companion includes three 'mini symposia' - on consciousness, brain scanning, and artificial intelligence - with contributions from a number of specialists, and encompassing a range of approaches.
Cultural as well as scientific in approach, this accessible book offers authoritative descriptions and analysis. With new entries on controversial topics such as artificial life, attachment theory, caffeine, cruetly, drama, extra-terrestrial intelligence, genetics of mental illness, imagination, lying, puzzles, and twins, this highly-anticipated second edition explores the most intriguing of subjects.

Actress Jennifer Beals showed her support for Ukraine on the red carpet on Sunday for the 2022 Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, Calif.
Beals is one of many stars and brands standing up in support of Ukraine as they fight against a Russian invasion. Beals showed up to the carpet in a Gucci yellow and blue two-piece outfit. The blue and yellow pay homage to Ukraine’s flag, a symbol of hope to many in these trying times. She paired the yellow and blue set with a clutch and metallic gold pointed-toe shoes set on pyramid heels. The star kept her makeup fresh and her hair in a short chic cut close to her head.
Many fashion brands are coming together for Ukraine, showing support during fashion month through shows and show notes. Georgian-born designer Demna of Balenciaga dedicated his fall 2022 runway show to the people of Ukraine, writing in a note to show-goers, “The war in Ukraine has triggered the pain of a past trauma I have carried in me since 1993 when the same thing happened in my country and I became a forever refugee.” Demna continued, “Forever, because that’s something that stays in you. The fear, the desperation, the realization that no one wants you.”
Red carpets have a history of serving as a platform for political and social statements, from the “Me Too” movement to AIDS awareness. Fashion has always been a landscape through which designers and celebrities alike can share their thoughts on the social and political discourse surrounding them. Just like Beals, many celebrities over the years have used their clothing to take a stance on topics to create change within an industry.

A Stanford student-athlete tries to balance life as a volleyball scholarship star with life as a pre-medical student intending to save her terminally ill mother.
J.J. faces several antagonists in this story. Temporary antagonists include her high school ex-boyfriend Stephen, who wants J.J. to go to U. C. Davis with him so that they can marry in a few years. Privileged blonde-haired, blue-eyed Christine questions J.J.'s muscular body, sexuality, haircut, and playing style for much of the first season, forcing newbie J.J. to shut up and put up. The highly-ranked UOP team taunts lowly Stanford by wearing grapefruits under their game uniforms during warm-ups, which establishes a heated rivalry for years. J.J.'s own Mama Jo turns against her during her first summer home from college.
Mama Jo's elusive auto-immune issues are a constant force in J.J.'s story, and provide many frustrating situations for both mother and daughter.
During her sophomore season, new assistant coach Don thinks J.J. is overrated and benches her after she is hit by a car on her bike. J.J.'s post-concussion syndrome returns, and her body suffers from other accidental injuries, forcing her to lie about the extent of her pain in order to retain her scholarship and keep playing.
J.J. observes the male docs at Stanford Hospital as they harass the female doctors during her summer internship. She begins to question whether the costs of being a female doctor outweigh the possible, not certain, benefit of curing her mother.
The glamorous UCLA team defeats Stanford in the first Women's NCAA Volleyball tournament in 1981, her junior season. This loss provides a catalyst that will energize J.J.'s recovery from a potential career-ending back injury during that match in the hopes of a rematch with UCLA her senior year, 1982.
J.J. is told she needs to have career-ending back surgery by a Stanford surgeon whose behavior raises J.J.'s suspicions about his motives: is she being used as a lab rat?
Holding Court: Title IX Playing Time
Rally On: Finding New Dreams When First Dreams Fail
Pat Conroy's My Losing Season (2002) was one inspiration for this book. He looks back on his senior season as the point guard for the Citadel's men's basketball team and uses basketball as a frame for interrogating family, friends, and the bonds forged between men coming of age in a military academy. Conroy's memoir provides a realistic view of college athletics, since most teams fail to win championships. My book has a similar Bildungsroman, strong team bonding, and cultural commentary, but includes a positive parent-child relationship and covers the transition years from a losing team to a winning legacy that continues today. Instead of a father-son conflict that results in disappointment, my secondary story of a mother's daily struggle to conquer her body's decay results in a fierce attachment between a mother and a daughter.
Perdita Felicien's My Mother's Daughter (2021) is similar in plot to my story: a young woman begins to discover her athletic gifts and is edged onward by her mother's love, grit, and faith. When Perdita stumbles while pursuing Olympic dreams, her mother picks her up, illustrating the power of a parent's love to transform her child's life. My book differs in that it occurs twenty years earlier, includes gendered power struggles without the systemic obstacles of race, and centers around the illness of a beloved mother who might not live long enough for her daughter to save her.
Chasing Kairos is the heroine's journey of J.J., a tomboy who yearns to earn a volleyball scholarship so that she can study pre-medicine and cure her mother's life-threatening illness.
Conflicts - triggers and reactions
Primary conflict/wound: Once J.J. earns a C+ on her first College Chemistry exam, she is gripped with fear that she will fail to save her mother. Her affinity for math disappears as she struggles to remember Calculus and Chemistry formulas and test anxiety makes her performance worse. The headaches from a serious concussion at sixteen return, along with nightmares of her mother's funeral.
Secondary conflict: J.J. wonders about her playing time until she sees the new assistant coach laughing with Christine as she emerges topless from the jacuzzi on a road trip. J.J. hears about players sleeping with coaches at other schools, but has a hard time believing what appears to be sex for court time. She becomes overwhelmed as her bad grades and inconsistent play coincide with her mother's hospitalization.
Social/team conflict: When junior Christine deliberately hits the new player Kari in the face with the volleyball, J.J. struggles between protecting Kari, who's competing for J.J.'s starting position, or ignoring the hazing in favor of her own playing time. She and the other younger players vow to be welcoming when they are in the upper classes. They establish a separate, collective culture through dancing to the New Wave and Punk music that irritates the older players.
Love conflict: J.J. cannot let go of her unrequited love for the pre-med boy she met at ORGY, once he disappears after a few successful dates.
Identity conflict: The narrator's dual identity as J.J., the extroverted prank-loving jock who uses humor to hide her pain, and Jenyth, the solitary lover of learning who agonizes when she can't remember the ninth line of a sonnet.
The story contrasts the palm-treed country club ambience of 1980's Stanford University in sunny Palo Alto, CA, with hostile and famous gyms throughout California, Hawaii, and Alabama. Many volleyball players live in Kairos, a popular coed housing co-operative on the envied avenue of historical fraternity row houses. With an open kitchen and a reputation for wildly inventive parties on its sundecks and midnight basketball games with neighboring fraternities on its basketball court, Kairos is also the favored housing of several Structured Liberal Education (SLE) students. They are the adored intellectuals of the campus. Manzanita Trailer Park, the cheapest and dingiest living arrangement on campus, is on the opposite side of Stanford and houses another group of SLE students. UGLY Undergraduate Library's occult section on the third floor and Green Graduate Library's basement stacks provide spaces for study and stress-reducing pranks. Matches and practices are held at Maples Pavilion, and the lovely old Roble Gym is the site of the Viennese Ball. Memorial Church, survivor of the 1906 earthquake and centerpiece of the original Quad, welcomes the supplicant's pleas. Antonio's Nut House provides Tuesday happy hours for the Stegner Fellows and undergraduate writers. The mausoleum of Leland Stanford, Jr., is the site of strange initiation rites, but is not the site of ORGY, a location that remains a secret today.

South Africa’s gold output down 11.3 pct y/y in Jan
South Africa, only a couple of decades ago the world’s largest producer of gold by a huge margin, but recently overtaken by China, Australia and the U.S., and in danger of being overtaken by Russia, has seen the decline continuing according to Statistics SA.
The state statistical body’s report on South Africa’s mine production in January this year sees an overall decline year on year for all metals and minerals of 2.5%, but in the gold sector the decline was a massive 11.3%, more than even that in December when gold output fell by 8.2%.
For the country’s economy, higher metal prices have mitigated the production fall-off to a major extent, but the continuing output decline as many of the country’s biggest gold mining operations have reached the ends of their lives and have closed down, and/or are having to work much lower ore grades, sees no end to the continuing downturn. The country’s gold output is nowadays less than a quarter of what it was at its peak in the early 1970s and the fall-off has been the major contributor to at best flat global gold production over the past few years.
There is little prospect too of any serious reversal in the trend. The old mines that are still operating are mostly getting deeper and deeper with safety concerns a limiting factor, while new operations coming on stream tend to be either small by comparison, low grade, or both.
In terms of South Africa’s overall mine production fall, gold is by far the most significant contributor, with coal and iron ore in particular bringing some resilience to the country’s overall output picture. Even the beleaguered platinum sector saw a small output increase over the past three months compared with the similar preceding period.

Even at sites that rarely lose electrical power, that power may occasionally have to be switched off for maintenance of other equipment. In addition, most UPSs also provide an element of power conditioning, reducing spikes and surges.
The capacity of UPS systems and the total equipment load the UPS is expected to support are usually quoted in VA. Where equipment load is quoted in Watts, multiply by 1.4 to get the VA load.
The calculation of how much UPS capacity is required depends on several choices.
•What equipment to place on the UPS?
Remember to include server PCs such as the voicemail. It is recommended that the total load on a new UPS is never greater than 75% capacity, thus allowing for future equipment.
•How many minutes of UPS support is required?
Actual UPS runtime is variable, it depends on what percentage of the UPS capacity the total equipment load represents. For example, a 1000VA capacity UPS may only support a 1000VA (100%) load for 5 minutes. This relationship is not linear, the same UPS may support a 500VA (50%) load for 16 minutes. Therefore, the lower the percentage of maximum capacity used, the increasingly longer the UPS runtime, for example up to 8 hours.
•How frequent are the power loses?
You also need to include allowance for the UPS recharge time. For most UPS's the ratio of discharge to full recharge time is 1:10.
•How many output sockets does the UPS provide?
Multiple UPS units may be required to ensure that every item of supported equipment has its own supply socket.
The dominate factor in the power consumption of an IP Office system is the telephones attached to the control unit and any external expansion modules. This does not include IP telephones which require their own separate power supplies. If any server PCs are being used by the system, the requirements of those PCs should also be included in the assessment. Similarly support for adjunct systems such as DECT should be considered.
The following are worst case figures tested found using fully populated control units and external expansion modules:
•IP500 V2A Control Unit: 115W.
•IP500 Digital Station 16 External Expansion Module: 31W.
•IP500 Digital Station 30 External Expansion Module: 56W.
•IP500 DS16A Digital Station RJ21 External Expansion Module: 34W.
•IP500 DS30A Digital Station RJ21 External Expansion Module: 60W.
•IP500 Phone 16 External Expansion Module: 25W.
•IP500 Phone 30 External Expansion Module: 45W.

La Strada, meaning The Road, is yet another Italian neorealist masterpiece by Federico Fellini. Made in 1954, this typical neorealist film travels with the protagonists on the road and captures real essence of life through the lives of people on the streets who have to struggle to survive.
It is also one of the most poetic and colorful film of the Italian neorealist era . There is no starkness – black and white, good and bad. All three main characters of the film have different personalities and shades and all of them are in a way victim of their own circumstances, their egos and their own flaws.
La Strada is essentially a poignant tale of optimistic Gelsomina who tries in vain to cope up with cruel realities of life with melody and optimism but in the end harsh reality breaks her spirits.
Gelsomina (role played by Fellini’s wife Giulietta Masina) is a young innocent girl who is sold by her parents to a travelling gypsy, Zampano ( Anthony Quinn) who makes a living by entertaining people on the road with his stunts. He trains her with brute force to play drum and trumpet and play the clown. He is a brutish slave master and Gelsomina tries in vain to flee but fails.
She meets another street entertainer, another clown, ll Matto and bonds with him inspite of Zampano’s disapproval. ll Matto tries to inspire Gelsomina to come out of her slavery and find her own individual identity and purpose. But Gelsomina asserts that her purpose is to take care of her slave-master and tags along Zampano willingly. But along the journey on the road Zampano ends up killing ll Matto. This act kills the spirit of Gelsomina and she is shell-shocked by grief. Zampano abandons unresponsive Gelsomina and goes away.
After few years Zampano hears someone singing the tune often played by Gelsomina on her trumphet and learns that a family had taken in sad Gelsomina but could not heal her broken spirits. Gelsomina died playing her tune over and over again. She left behind her trumpet and the tune. This news breaks heart of brute slave master Zampano who for once loses control and cries.
The Italian neorealist films did prove that life and reality is complex, colorful but sad. If there is optimism there has to be disenchantment. But these films also depicted that it is the optimism that also makes life poetic, lyrical, poignant and magical.

The last time most of us saw her, Tessanne Chin was crying as she sang her new single “Tumbling Down” on “The Voice” after being crowned as the season five winner, six months ago.
On June 29, Chin released her first post-”Voice” album, “Count on My Love,” and like her last performance on “The Voice,” Chin’s voice drips with raw emotion on each song on the album. With her honest lyrics and the perfect blend of reggae and pop, Chin delivers an album that not only conveys yearning and love but also keeps you on your toes.
The album’s first two singles, “Tumbling Down” and “Everything Reminds Me of You,” set the emotional bar for the rest of the album. “Everything Reminds Me of You” in particular has sincere lyrics like “And to be honest at night I’m afraid” and “My eyes keep burning every day.” Although both songs start off mellow, they gradually build tension thanks to the swelling choruses in the middle.
Although the first few album singles are more pop-centric, the album’s later tracks feature more pop and reggae. In “Forever Always,” Chin channels Bob Marley’s vocal harmony and distinctive staccato beats while still providing a catchy chorus. In “I Heart You,” Chin draws out her notes over the short beats. These songs in the middle of the album focus on young love, and the blend of genres keeps the songs’ moods refreshing and lively.
However, despite the songs’ strong sentimentality, the use of auto-tune in many of the songs detracts from the emotions in Chin’s voice and make the songs blander. Although it added to the songs’ pop vibe, it dulled her voice, especially in “Tumbling Down.”
Unlike other post-“Voice” albums by winners like Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbury, Chin’s isn’t aiming to break into the mainstream pop charts. Instead, her album provides listeners with an honest, personal reflection of love.

For the final shot, we were really feeling nervious and stressful, we all consume that our final shot could only be better than the other ones .For me, it's a really big scene, we combined almost all of the good 3D elements in it,and give it a fish lens shot in the last frame.
I was totally confused and didn't know what kind of colours could suit our last one, it's a big chalenge for me to make an entire nighttime city with so many different lights, I need to use as least 5 colours of lights but not mess them up.
I searched for some awesome art works of the whole city stuff:
2. for the second one, i learned how to create the space using huge amount of 3D elements and also I took the reference of the fog and cloud.
3.The third one influenced me of the small lights on the buidings .
To let the final shot's colours as colourful as the shots before .I took a snapshot from the pacific rim's trailer as my rough colour plate:
I used 4 lights to ponit at the character to emphasise him :
Main methods I used in This scene is warm colours for the center part , dark and cold colours for the corner and front element but still keep te details.
For the final comp stage, my contribution is supervised the comp team to finishe= this most complex scene to reach the result as similar as my concept.
This is the final comp,We built the 3D basic boxes shapes of the city and exported them into nuke, Lighted them in Nuke and also created many colour pieces to paste on the buildings , use the softlight layer and overlay layers to apply the colours.
I also made the grond texture for the final shot used the texture below (I made in photoshop) as well:

As Prepared for Delivery
Good afternoon. Let me start by thanking everyone in this room. We didn’t simply invite you to hear about the critical work underway at the Treasury Department, but we also asked you for your ideas, insights – and most importantly – partnership.
From our work securing the child tax credit for 304,000 families in Puerto Rico, to cutting eviction rates in half in majority-Latino neighborhoods, we have seen how partnering with culturally competent partners who speak the language and are trusted by their communities is vital to our success. And today is no different. Today’s Latino Economic Summit at Treasury reflects that same approach, and I want to thank those of you who made today possible.
When President Biden took office, the COVID-19 pandemic was still ravaging communities across the country and causing a dual health and economic crisis for Latino communities. Latinos were more likely to lose their jobs, more likely to work in front-line positions, and had among the highest mortality rates.
While the circumstances were dire, this Administration got to work to prevent the kind of long-term economic scarring that we’ve seen in previous recessions—the long-term effects from economic shocks like job loss or eviction that can linger for years or decades.
Many of you in this room partnered with us to implement the ARP’s Emergency Rental Assistance program, which helped keep millions of Americans in their homes. And nearly one-third of these rental assistance funds went to Latino households. Another ARP provision—the Advance Child Tax Credit—helped reduce the supplemental poverty rate among Hispanic children—which account for government benefits—to its lowest level since 2009. In distributing the tax credit, we lifted restrictions that had previously prevented many families in Puerto Rico from receiving this benefit. As a result, 200,000 additional families in the archipelago received the credit when they filed taxes in 2022 compared to a year earlier.
As we’ve transitioned from pandemic recovery to growth, the Latino population has benefited from the Biden-Harris Administration’s policies. Hispanic unemployment hit a record low last September. From 2019 to 2022, median weekly earnings increased 2.4 percent for Hispanic workers after accounting for inflation.
But we have more work to do. We must continue our efforts to unlock the unrealized potential of America’s marginalized communities by investing in the people and places that have too long been left behind—what Secretary Yellen calls “modern supply side economics.” At Treasury, we’ve focused on two particular avenues to pursue this strategy: facilitating access to mission capital and ensuring the President’s legislative achievements are implemented with these communities in mind.
The Treasury Department and the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) have deployed historic amounts of capital to community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and minority depository institutions (MDIs)—institutions that have a demonstrated track record of reaching financially underserved borrowers. Recently, I joined Vice President Harris in announcing over $1.73 billion in grants through the CDFI Equitable Recovery Program (ERP), the largest CDFI grant program in history.
And through the Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP), Treasury has invested $1.6 billion in Latino-owned and Latino-majority shareholder depository institutions, as part of an $8.4 billion total investment. Based on preliminary analysis, we estimate that investments across the entire ECIP portfolio could increase lending in Latino communities up to nearly $58 billion over the next decade.
We are also laser-focused on implementing the Inflation Reduction Act in an equitable manner that allows all Americans to share in the gains from the transition to a green economy. For example, we recently released guidance to help communities take advantage of the Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit Program, which offers a bonus on top of the Investment Tax Credit for clean energy if these investments are made in low-income areas.
Many of IRA’s incentives directly benefit American families by lowering their energy costs. The IRA also includes new ways of accessing these credits—including direct payments and simpler mechanisms to sell and transfer them—that will help ensure non-profits and government entities benefit. Yesterday, for example, I visited a non-profit youth center in Richmond California—a community predominantly made up of people of color and many who are low-income—that will be able to access tax credits for their community-based solar investments and benefit in ways they could not have before the IRA.
The clean energy transition will also create good jobs—including opportunities for Latino families, businesses, and communities.
Taking these steps that will create economic opportunities for Latino families is good for all families. I recently wrote a blog post that outlines the ways our focus on racial equity has not only improved the economic well being of Black and Latino households, it has created economic opportunity for all Americans. We are committed to building an economy that works for everyone. Thank you again for being here, and for all you do to support the Treasury and help us build a better economy for your communities.

Hi there! My name is Rosty and I’m the friendliest and goofiest dachshund you’ll ever meet. I started life in a puppy mill in Quebec, but I have quickly adjusted to living with a real family of people and other dachshunds. Am I handsome? Why, yes: yes, I am! I am loving my new life with foster mom, dad, and my weenie foster brother and sister. I love sleeping in the big bed with the people, but I am ok sleeping in my crate at night. I so enjoy playing fetch, chewing on my toys, snuggling on the sofa, giving kisses and getting treats! Foster mum is even trying to teach me to sit! I find that hilarious, but between you and me I’m kind of getting the hang of it. My house training is coming along really well; 4 days and counting with no accidents. Foster Dad thinks I’m brilliant, and I certainly don’t want to disappoint him, he gives me belly scratches and ear rubs. I’m still getting used to walking on a leash, but am learning a lot by hanging out with my foster brother and sister.
Even though I am a year and a half old, I still act like a puppy, my
cute behind waddling around when I chase toys, or sniff around the
apartment for any food that someone may have dropped. I know basic commands: down, no, bedtime (which means go to the crate), treats, bring it back (for when I’m playing fetch) and respond well to my name. I’d love to have a home where I can snuggle up to my people or sleep in their laps.

Holding tight to a teetering edge, as a performer I pursue the unknown and impossible. My durational performance work suspends time and extends the tipping point—the moment right before collapse, dangling, almost falling, almost overflowing. The familiar unsettles, eliciting pangs of tenderness, or devotion, or longing.
In developing new projects, I find inspiration in the immediate surroundings: the place, its history, the people there and the remnants on hand. As a result, I employ ordinary things, amplified or abstracted, and routine tasks, repeated or slowed. Sculpting space and material to create heightened sites for exacting gestures, I offer an image of a woman both authentic and allegorical, often weighted by or tethered to oversized sculptural garments, or confined within minimal found object installations. The transformation of the physical material over time, including the give of the fabric, the drift of the piles, or the wilt of the body posture, serves as motive and metaphor for other transformations, both conceptual and contextual. Perhaps a type of alterself is evoked; the woman of the performance has a particular clarity of focus, on the task, on the circumstance, on the public, that is other than my own. I conjure a ready intimacy by imprinting the space, moment by moment, hour after hour, with simple, ceaseless effort: sewing, sifting, pointing, licking, kissing, laughing. In my work, in every way, I seek to be made wholly vulnerable and inexorably connected.

Well I don’t know if I am a ” Dunce or the Dux “of 168, my week has been a runathon everywhere but on the GNW. Monday was an a fairly easy 12 km’s around Strickland Forest. After receiving a phone call last week, I traveled to a little town called Tumbarumba, just off the Hume & Hovell and about 5 hours south of Sydney. Ran about 45 km’s from Henry Angel Track and headed north. An amazing part of the world and to repay all the people that helped us on the H & H 15 months ago we are trying to help arrange a 100 km Event for 2012.
Briefly it has a great rain forest section and some kms similar to the Alpines. Even managed to see some wild Brumbies. Wednesday was a day off and Thursday was a pleasant 10 kms in the Jilliby state forest. Friday I thought would be my last training so I decided to do some stairs. Started with Mick doing some hill reps then 20 sets of stairs then 4 more hill reps then 5 more stairs, pretty smashed and not feeling the best I go home and crash on the lounge for an hour. This is where the “Dunce” part comes in. I ring Gareth and arrange to do 42 km’s in the Blue Mountains. After GP smashes me I am sitting on my lounge thinking about no more running until Saturday fortnight.

|• Governor||Osman Hacıbektaşoğlu|
|• Total||5,406 km2 (2,087 sq mi)|
|• Density||61/km2 (160/sq mi)|
Siirt Province, (Turkish: Siirt ili, Kurdish: Parêzgeha Sêrtê) is a bleedin' province of Turkey, located in the oul' southeast. G'wan now.

In order to Turkify the feckin' Kurds of Siirt, Law 1164 was passed in June 1927, which allowed the bleedin' creation of Inspectorates-General (Umumi Müffetişlik, UM) that governed with martial law under a feckin' state of emergency.

The technology that allows consumers to purchase sporting and other event tickets online is not breaking news. For years consumers have conveniently purchased their movie, concert, and large sporting event tickets online through companies like Fandango, Ticketmaster, and StubHub (to name just a few). Yet, one segment that continued to lag behind the times was at the secondary education level – largely because the platforms on the market were not affordable and not designed with a High school’s needs in mind.
High school gyms and auditoriums across the country have largely operated the “old fashioned way” through an in-person and cash-only system at the gate. That started to change in 2016 when Ohio-based HomeTown Ticketing started a digital ticketing pilot project for a Columbus school district. The development of that ticketing system eventually led to digitally ticketing events for more than 20 schools in the Columbus area.
Over the next couple of years, with feedback and input from athletic directors and superintendents, HomeTown designed a platform, tailor-made for high schools, that added value and quickly gained traction throughout the country.
When the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, it accelerated the need for schools to find solutions to monitor and limit capacity in many states and eliminate the exchange of paper to comply with state and local regulations.
Relying on HomeTown’s cost-effective digital ticketing platform, which does not require its clients to pay any upfront costs, and its reliable customer support proved to be an extremely valuable solution that completely elevated the ability of thousands of high school administrators to communicate with students, families, and fans for purposes of recording cancellations, refunds, and other gameday metrics. It also allowed schools to access funds in real-time, providing for a more secure and efficient event.
“Digital ticketing started to take hold nationwide towards the end of 2018,” said Lorien Parry Luehrs, president and chief operating officer at HomeTown Ticketing, Inc. “For the general consumer, the acceleration and demand came largely as a result of millennial moms and dads wanting more convenient purchasing options.”
Luehrs, who has more than 15 years of experience in sports marketing, event management, and developing strategic business opportunities between corporations and educational-based athletic and governing institutions, manages the day-to-day operations, national marketing strategy, and team development for HomeTown.
“On the business side, Hometown creates partnership alignments with companies like Hudl, the leading athletics video platform and BSN sports apparel. Our association partnerships, on the other hand, include governing bodies from Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Texas, and Oregon.”
Now serving over 12,000 schools throughout the country and growing rapidly, HomeTown Ticketing is the leading digital ticketing platform for high schools in the nation.
Over the past two years, HomeTown Ticketing has seen massive growth, especially in the high school sports space due in part by the demand of parents for convenient options, and by growing confidence of high school administrators in the value of the platform — even after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the last decade, consumer confidence in online purchasing has also massively increased. Today, buying almost anything at the touch of a button is no longer viewed as a privilege but a right.
Live sporting events have quickly evolved, eliminating the physical paper ticket, and instead, transitioning to digital ticketing entirely.
For high schools across the country, digital ticketing has become the new norm, despite it being one of the last categories to make the move to a more modernized system.
For those fans who rarely carry cash and are digitally equipped with platforms like Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Apple Pay, implementing a digital ticketing service makes all the difference.
For event organizers, traditional ticketing platforms left room for accounting errors and the high risk of misplaced or stolen funds with cash on hand, until they could be manually deposited by the school administrator, according to Luehrs.
“With our ticketing platform, not only can fans purchase and manage all of their tickets at the touch of a button but the funds are available in real-time for the school to see and automatically deposited in the school’s account at the time of purchase,” she said.
“For fans, it’s about easy access and options, and that’s what HomeTown Ticketing provides — the ability for every school, no matter the size, to offer its fans options to purchase tickets from anywhere at any time, while understanding each fan has different preferences.”
Today, the way parents and students communicate with their schools has evolved. Daily communication now flows digitally – from email to text messages. Even traditional textbooks are being replaced by Chromebooks at many school districts nationwide.
“The way students access homework; how parents access their child’s grades; the way school lunches and books are purchased, and even how school announcements are received – it’s all digital,” Luehrs explained.
For schools themselves, Luehrs believes the pandemic was a bigger catalyst for change, as administrators needed more efficient ways to manage events safely. “Once they started using our platform, they began to see that our service benefitted them in ways which included saving staff time and money on the accounting and handling of cash, as well as advanced ticketing sales and 24-hour customer support.”
One of the biggest complaints of administrators early on was the complexity and lack of support for digital ticketing systems on the market. Many found them hard to navigate and even less friendly on the customer support side.
HomeTown Ticketing’s platform took the feedback and developed and integrated tools that make communication with event organizers and attendees all the more simplistic. They also put an emphasis on building out a knowledgeable customer support team to meet the demands of its client base.
“When fans purchase their tickets online, their tickets are immediately emailed to them. That initial email includes custom event details, including a map of where the venue is, parking information, gate times, and of course, any real-time changes to the event itself.”
In 2021, HomeTown launched its new Fan App to make one-touch ticketing a reality and managing events even easier. Using the app gives fans the ability to purchase and redeem tickets right from their smartphone while allowing schools to send real-time updates through email, text message, and push notifications, so that anyone connected to the system can see game day and other information immediately.
“To better manage capacity, our platform offers a seat map of the stadium, gym, or auditorium itself, so fans know exactly where they’ll be sitting at any given event,” Luehrs pointed out. “Fans can select their specific seats, while schools can manage capacity by restricting which seats can be purchased.”
Luehrs gave Innovation and Tech Today a quick tutorial on how the app works, depending upon whether you are accessing the platform as a school or fans.
For fans- after downloading the app, they simply search for and save their favorite schools from a list. Then, purchase event tickets or season passes, and redeem them at the event site.
“When you make a purchase, all your tickets are saved in one place. All you need to do is tap the event in the app at the gate, which pulls up a QR code to be scanned for entry at the door. For fans that may not want to use the app- tickets can still be purchased through a link on the school’s website to print and bring into the event.”
For schools selling tickets — they have immediate access to ticket data in real-time and revenue generated from ticket purchases within 24-hours. “HomeTown never touches a school’s funds. The platform’s built-in, filtered reporting tools make it easy to track sales and income on a per event, venue, or school basis so that all your accounts and records are organized.”
In order to make the system affordable for any size school, HomeTown implemented a per ticket fee model rather than charge upfront fees to the school. By collecting a fee on tickets sold, it allows schools of any size to use the platform and not be responsible for costs even if events are canceled or aren’t well attended.
“We chose this model because we believe every school should be able to use digital ticketing — not just larger schools with bigger revenue streams,” Luehrs said. “It’s why there is no up-front or yearly cost. It’s simply based on the number of tickets sold to events and it has been incredibly well received.”
There is no question that our digital frontier is continuing to adapt to every industry, providing companies and innovators with more ways to develop one-stop-shop models to better cater to their customers.
The ability for digital ticketing platforms to provide flexibility, convenience, and security to event organizers, partners, and attendees lends favor to platforms like HomeTown Ticketing, which finally found a way to bring value and convenience to high schools and their fan bases across the country.


text: Below is a small selection of paintings Jelaine completed between 2004 and 2016 with food and drink as the subjects, depicted as direct, representational still life works in the Realistic style. In total, there are over five hundred still life paintings she completed between 2003 and 2016, many of which feature food and drink. Because food and drink is comfort, joy, escape, delight, relaxation, community, abundance.....the list goes on. They are a celebration of life, and while, during this period of her painting career, she did not create specifically narrative works, the unspoken narrative of food and drink is everything listed above and more. The viewer can easily take the subject and make their own nostalgic connection to it. Being able to elicit and share that connection was an appealing reason to paint them.

Clean up begins at fire damaged early learning center
POSTED: Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 7:30pm
UPDATED: Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 7:34pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Members of the YWCA Istrouma Early Head Start community began cleaning up Sunday after a fire destroyed part of their building.
Baton Rouge Fire Department investigators say it happened around 6:45 Saturday night in the 4600 block of Winbourne Avenue. They say the fire started in a classroom and spread to the attic. No one was injured.
A spokesman for the Early Head Start program says the program will reopen once the building is repaired, but that could take months to complete.
"It's extremely important to get up and running," said Charlotte Provenza with YWCA Istrouma Early Head Start. "For everyday that we don't operate this child development center it means parents are missing high school and missing work. The babies developmental career is stopped. For this to happen and interrupt and interfere with people trying to pull themselves out of poverty and provide for their children, I think it's just debilitating."
Investigators say the building suffered around $180,000 in damages. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Parents can call 225-355-4461 for the latest on the program.

- Used Book in Good Condition
This book looks at where stem cell technology is presently and how it is instrumental in advancing the field of disease modeling and cell transplantation. By focusing on major human disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and heart disorders, the book summarizes the major findings in the field of human stem cells and dissect the current limitations on our understanding of stem cells biology. The chapters focus on the genetics, genomics, epigenetics and physiology of stem cells models, together with technological advances on molecular biology such as CRISPR/Cas9 or epigenetic editing, that will be instrumental in the future of human disease modeling and treatment.
In base of the limitations of current disease models and in front of the unmet necessity of finding therapeutical interventions for human disorders, the availability of stem cell technology has opened new doors for several fields. The unlimited self-renewal capacity and more extensive differentiation potential of stem cells offers a theoretically inexhaustible and replenishable source of any cell subtype. Since Professor Shinya Yamanaka described it, 10 years ago in his seminal paper, that somatic cells could be reprogrammed to inducible stem cells (iPSC) just by expressing four transcription factors, the field of has exploded, especially its applications in biomedical research.
Richard Cohen struggles with failing limbs and is legally blind. He has survived two bouts of colon cancer and a life-threatening blood clot in his lungs. After enduring decades of harsh treatments and invasive therapies, Cohen decided to trade in his life as a patient.
In 2012, Cohen and his wife, Meredith Vieira, were invited to host and chair an adult stem cell conference at the Vatican. Scientists would be gathering in Rome to discuss stem cell therapy for autoimmune diseases, including MS. A believer in the power of denial and determination over faith and hope, Cohen was caught off guard by what he learned. Medical technology had advanced further and more quickly than Cohen had known. Could there be a chance his health could improve? Could MS be cured? As Cohen took part in a pioneering stem cell protocol, he opened himself to the possibility of hope for the first time in his adult life.
Cohen’s deep dive into the cutting-edge world of stem cell research and his journalistic investigation of hope includes interviews with doctors, scientists, and religious leaders, as well as conversations with others living with chronic conditions, all with the goal of understanding a hope that is both elusive and alluring.
As drily funny as it is emotionally vulnerable, Chasing Hope navigates the fascinating and ever-changing intersection between illness and hope.

Commentary: No One Gets Everything They Want in A Good City Bond
Leave it to former Mayor Phil Hardberger to summon a passage from the Book of Proverbs in support of the $850 million 2017 Municipal Bond and, in particular, the $13 million in public funding for the proposed $23 million Hardberger Land Bridge.
We will see if voters agree when they go to the polls on May 6 this year to elect a mayor and city council members, and to vote on six different bond initiatives that together represent an unprecedented public investment in San Antonio. By comparison, the 2012 Bond was $596 million, 43% less than is now on the table. The 2007 Bond, the first in what is now a historic level of infrastructure and major capital project investment in the city, was $550 million… Read more from the Rivard Report

Why you should make a Will
There is a common misconception that there is little or no merit in making a Will and it is easier to leave it to the laws of intestacy to decide...
Disputes relating to wills and probate have been increasing in recent years, due in part to the significant rise in house prices; as a result, many individuals are leaving behind estates with significant value.

Not only will they ensure the will is valid when it is signed, but they will also incorporate all of your wishes faithfully and with clarity.

Georgian investor from Sokhumi, who unveiled Citrus hotel in Tbilisi a year ago, plans to open a new hotel in the capital city.
The hotel manager general Shalva Alaverdashvili told the Commersant that the hotel management is content with both financial performance and appraisals by guests.
The hotel is designed for all types of tourists thanks to its location. The conference hall also works at full capacity. The hotel has deserved highest appraisals thanks to top-quality services, Alaverdashvili said.
As to development of the hotel network, the company genuinely discusses similar plans and a new hotel will be unveiled in Tbilisi too. At the next state, the company will expand the network to regions too, Alaverdashvili noted.
The four-star hotel Citrus is located on April 9 Street and is able to host about 80 guests. The hotel’s investment value marked 3.5 million GEL, including 1 million GEL was allocated form the Tbilisi City Hall cheap loan program.
