text: Critical Thinking about Research by Julian Meltzoff; Harris M. CooperTo become informed consumers of research, students need to thoughtfully evaluate the research they read rather than accept it without question. This second edition of a classic text gives students what they need to apply critical reasoning when reading behavioral science research. It updates the original text with recent developments in research methods, including a new chapter on meta-analyses. Part I gives a thorough overview of the steps in a research project. It focuses on how to assess whether the conclusions drawn in a behavioral science report are warranted by the methods used in the research. Topics include research hypotheses, sampling, experimental design, data analysis, interpretation of results, and ethics. Part II allows readers to practice critical thinking with a series of fictitious journal articles containing built-in flaws in method and interpretation. Clever and engaging, each article is accompanied by a commentary that points out the errors of procedure and logic that have been deliberately embedded in the article. This combination of instruction and practical application will promote active learning and critical thinking in students studying the behavioral sciences.

‘Real Housewife’ Bethenny Frankel welcomes baby girl Bryn
HollywoodNews.com: “The Real Housewives of New York” have given fans of the show some of the juiciest fights this season. We’ve sadly watched as housewives Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin transformed from best friends to enemies in a matter of months. But, Frankel has always been the steady entrepreneur who many have looked up to due to her honest, go-get-it attitude. So when Frankel got married to Jason Hoppy in March and became pregnant with her first baby, we couldn’t have been happier for her.
Just this morning Frankel gave birth to a baby girl, reports Hollyscoop. Her rep stated, “Bethenny and Jason are proud to welcome their new baby girl, Bryn Hoppy, born at 8 a.m. . . . in New York City. She is a 4 lb. 12 oz., healthy baby. Bryn, mom, dad and [their dog] Cookie are all very happy.”
We’re so happy to see Frankel get what she’s always wanted!

There’s not a harder working and more physically demanding baseball player in the game today than Chase Utley. Chase is literally the first one to the ballpark every day before the game (to go over video of the day’s pitcher) and the last one to leave at night. Not to mention, while on the filed, Chase constantly hustles, whether he’s hit a 400, “no doubt about it” home run or an infield single he needs to run out. Each play for him is the same, and they each require the highest level of intensity and commitment, something that Chase always delivers.

I had a 2003 Ford Explorer that this happened with. If I remember correctly on the underside of the steering column there is a hole or 'hitch of some kind you need to press in or down on while trying to shift out of gear. I'm sorry I can't be more specific or certain on what I had to do. It was about four years ago this happed. But I did find the answer in the owner's manual. AND I kept a screw driver in my car after that. Hope you get yourself out of gear. :)
On Many ford products. trucks and cars from around the mid 90's to present. the shift lever on an automatic transmission vehicle will become loose feeling. may not go into proper gear selected. If you lay on the floor and look under the dash. find where the shift cable connects to the shifter arm bracket which is mounted to the shift tube. if you grab it and it is loose ( you can wiggle it) there are 2 torx screws that need to be tightened. It is a very common problem and very easy to fix. I will usually remove the screws and use a thread locking compound (like Locktite) on the screws and reinstall them to stop it from happening again. I have done over 20 of them in the last few years. Sometimes one or both the screws can fall right out. if you have found a goldish colored Torx screw on your drivers side floor that is where they usually come from.
column or floor shifter ?
Brake Shift Interlock Actuator - Floor Shift
Removal and Installation NOTE: The brake shift interlock actuator is not serviced individually. If replacement is required, install a new floor shift selector lever assembly.
For additional information, refer to Selector Lever - Floor Shift in this section.
Brake Shift Interlock Actuator - Column Shift
Removal and Installation
Set the parking brake.
Remove the steering column shrouds.
Turn the ignition to the accessory position and apply the brake or actuate the brake shift interlock actuator (BSIA) override.
Put the selector lever into the NEUTRAL position.
Disconnect the BSIA electrical connector.
Remove the BSIA screw.
Gently pry the clip up and remove the BSIA.
NOTE: During installation, verify that the BSIA override has been activated and the slider is fully rearward. Before rotating the selector lever from NEUTRAL into PARK, align the selector lever tab into the BSIA. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Sounds like you got a mistry shifter. It might just be out of ajustment, or just plane wore out. If its an old shifter you would be money a head to buy a new one and put it in. Summit racing sells them, Heck i'am not real sure but you might be able to get one at auto zone, or napa, or advance auto. There just a phone call a way. They might even sell kits to repaire yours.

In the dynamic and competitive landscape of the culinary industry, where every flavor and aroma competes for attention, a well-orchestrated menu stands as the gastronomic masterpiece that captivates diners. However, the artistry involved extends beyond the culinary descriptions; it encompasses the intricate world of menu design and the strategic deployment of compelling call-to-action (CTA) strategies. This comprehensive guide explores the nuances of creating an enticing menu that not only stimulates appetites but also propels restaurant business to new heights.
The Power of Menu Design in Driving Conversions
Visual Appeal Matters
Create a menu that captures the diner’s attention with visual allure. A thoughtfully designed menu can be as captivating as a piece of art on the wall. The psychology of colors, font selection, and imagery plays a pivotal role in influencing customer choices. Menu design, when executed meticulously, entices patrons to explore the offerings, significantly increasing the likelihood of conversions.
Organized Layout for Seamless Navigation
A clutter-free layout ensures patrons can easily navigate the menu, creating a positive and stress-free dining experience. Segregating sections logically and employing clear headings not only aids in smooth navigation but also assists in highlighting key dishes. A well-organized menu enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Crafting Irresistible Descriptions
Storytelling through Words
Each dish on the menu has a story waiting to be told. Engage customers by weaving narratives around the culinary journey of a dish. Descriptions should not merely list ingredients but should narrate the experience of savoring the dish. This storytelling approach not only stimulates interest but also adds a personal and memorable touch to the dining experience.
Highlighting Signature Dishes
In the symphony of culinary offerings, there are always star performers. Feature signature dishes prominently, using captivating language that not only describes the dish but also sparks curiosity. This not only enhances brand identity but contributes significantly to creating a memorable dining experience that customers are likely to share with others.
Implementing Persuasive Call-to-Action Strategies
Compelling Language for Action
Crafting effective CTAs is an art in itself. Use assertive language that motivates action. Phrases like “Savor the Flavors,” “Indulge Your Senses,” or “Delight Your Palate” create a sense of excitement and anticipation. The goal is to make patrons feel compelled to try the dishes and experience the unique culinary offerings.
Limited-Time Offers and Specials
Urgency is a powerful motivator in decision-making. Introduce limited-time offers or chef specials, creating a sense of exclusivity. Expressions like “For a Limited Time Only” or “Chef’s Special of the Month” prompt quick decisions, driving conversions as patrons fear missing out on unique and time-sensitive opportunities.
Online Integration for Seamless Experience
User-Friendly Online Menus
In an era where the digital presence of a restaurant is as crucial as its physical presence, ensure that your menu seamlessly transitions from physical to digital. A user-friendly online menu enhances accessibility and encourages patrons to explore offerings even before stepping into the restaurant. Use high-quality images and ensure that the online menu reflects the same visual appeal as the physical one.
Online Ordering with Ease
Facilitate online ordering with a streamlined process. Integrate user-friendly platforms that allow patrons to place orders effortlessly. An intuitive and easy-to-navigate online ordering system provides a convenient dining experience, especially for those who prefer the ease of ordering from the comfort of their homes.
Tracking and Analyzing CTA Effectiveness
Data-Driven Decision Making
The success of any strategy lies in its measurable impact. Implement tracking mechanisms to analyze the effectiveness of your CTAs. Utilize data to understand customer preferences, popular dishes, and the impact of various promotional strategies. Data-driven insights empower restaurants to make informed decisions, leading to continuous improvement in both menu design and CTA strategies.
Crafting an effective restaurant menu transcends the boundaries of the culinary realm—it’s an art that seamlessly combines visual appeal, persuasive language, and user-friendly experiences. By embracing these effective call-to-action strategies within the context of menu design, restaurants can not only tantalize taste buds but also create a memorable dining experience that resonates with patrons. As the culinary journey continues to evolve, mastering the art of CTA strategies becomes a crucial aspect of staying ahead in the fiercely competitive restaurant industry.

A Lululemon larger size offering is finally here. The activewear brand announced on Tuesday in a conference held by CEO Calvin McDonald, that they plan to extend their size selection to size 20. It currently only goes up to a size 14 for most pieces.
The company has been called out on multiple occasions in the past for body-shaming. In 2013, former CEO Chip Wilson resigned after stating that Lululemon pants “don’t work for some women’s bodies.” Then, in 2017, a woman’s story went viral after she was allegedly told that she should be shopping for a larger size when visiting the Lululemon store in Canada.
Despite these incidents, the brand continues to enjoy unprecedented popularity in the activewear market. Several items — including Meghan Markle's go-to Align leggings — continue to sell out and during quarantine, the brand saw a significant sales increase as many transitioned to working remotely.
In the months since, Lululemon seems to be turning a new leaf, even creating a global relief fund to help small businesses impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.
The brand reportedly plans to increase its size range for core styles by the end of the month of September. The “majority of women’s products” will be more size-inclusive by the end of 2021. McDonald added that it is “an important step forward” for the company.

There was a time when camping out at festivals was a sleepless and smelly affair. (Albeit a heck of a lot of fun!) We’re happy to report that those pungent days of cricked necks and damp canvas are over! Take a comfortable, fully kitted out and self-contained campervan hire. You are guaranteed all the festival fun, without the fatigue (or the fragrance).
So, what are the best festivals to visit on your next campervan hire holiday? Join us on a journey across Australia. We check out some festivals that could, nay SHOULD, feature in your next campervan hire adventure! (And do bear in mind that in 2022 some of these dates have moved a little and it’s not too early to plan for 2023!)
The Parkes Elvis Festival
Parkes, New South Wales (usually January / April for 2022)
It may be 45 years since Elvis left the building, but the Parkes Elvis Festival just keeps on growing! From Sydney campervan hire depots, it’s a leisurely five-hour cruise west to the friendly country town of Parkes. Park up your self-contained, airconditioned home-away-from-home, and shake, rattle and roll with more jumpsuit-ed Elvis impersonators than you can shake a blue suede shoe at! All the campgrounds in Parkes and surrounding towns are serviced by shuttle buses. This makes it easy to travel to the festival.
And here’s where a campervan hire from Sydney comes into its own! The festival runs for five days, but if you get ‘Elvis-ed out’ there’s plenty more to do and you’re mobile! The other king in this town is mining. If you’d like to check out the gigantic Peak Hill open cut mine, there’s an excellent viewing platform just off the Newell Highway. PS: There’s plenty of parking there too…even if you hired a big 6-berth motorhome! Parkes is also home to the 64-metre-wide telescope that once saved NASA’s bacon; made famous in the movie ‘The Dish’. The Parkes Observatory is just a short drive out of town and definitely worth a visit!
The Grampians Grape Escape
Halls Gap, Victoria (April/May)
There are lots of food and wine festivals all around the country, large and small. The Grape Escape in the magnificent Grampians isn’t the biggest, but it can’t be beaten for its gorgeous location. And its fun and friendly atmosphere! Indulge your senses with award-winning local and international wine, artisan food and local produce, live music and masterclasses run by celebrity chefs. And the best news? Sort a campervan hire from Melbourne. It’s less than three hours’ drive to Halls Gap, in the heart of the Grampians National Park.
The Grampians is a motorhome-friendly region. So you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to finding great places to stay on your campervan hire holiday! Apart from the Grape Escape, this stunning region is much loved for its sandstone peaks, waterfalls, wildflowers and incredible native wildlife.
Hobart, Tasmania (June)
The lovechild of winter solstice and the controversial Museum of New and Old Art (MONA). Dark Mofo is far from your average festival. It’s strange, it’s dark, it’s confronting…and it’s very, very popular! For those looking for an experience that’s wildly different, this is the perfect start or finish to your Hobart campervan hire holiday. Be mesmerised by the thought-provoking (and sometimes disturbing!) public art and performances. Indulge in late night films, alternative music, a light show, a nude solstice swim and the famous Winter Feast; every foodie’s delight.
But how does Dark Mofo tie in with a Tasmania campervan hire holiday? Winter might not be the first season you think of for campervan hire in Hobart. However, those willing to brave the cool temperatures (daytime average is 3-13 °C) reap rich rewards! Winter campervan hire holidays in Tasmania offer an eclectic treat of arts festivals, boutique food and wine events and gorgeous hikes through scenery that looks like it’s straight out of a fariytale. Not to mention you’ll enjoy off-season prices on both your Hobart campervan hire and caravan parks too. (Heads up: you will need a powered site this time of year!)
The Big Red Bash
Birdsville, Queensland (July)
You can’t get much more remote or much more iconic than this festival! The family-friendly Big Red Bash takes place every July on the edge of the Simpson Desert, past Birdsville in the very centre of Australia. Or, to quote the organisers, ‘In the middle of bloody nowhere!’ It draws nearly 10,000 festival goers each year, keen for an adventure and to experience a legendary line-up of Aussie artists.
Make no mistake friends, getting to this festival is no leisurely drive – it’s an epic outback adventure! Keen to tackle the 1,900 km from Sydney, 1,200 km from Adelaide, 1,500 km from Brisbane or 2,100 km from Melbourne? You’re going to need time, and you’re going to need to hire a 4WD campervan hire to drive over 300 km of unsealed roads! Luckily, the Big Red Bash takes place over the winter school holidays. So, families have time to get there, and we’ve got the 4WD camper to get you there in! Get in early to avoid disappointment with 4WD campervan hire.
Is there more to do here than the festival? Why yes there is. Such as checking out the hat collection in the Birdsville Hotel, munching your way through a camel pie, or dune surfing in the desert. There’s also the Burke and Wills Tree. Standing 3 km south of Birdsville, this old Coolibah tree bears the marking ‘BW-C76 1860’. This was one of the final camps of the incredibly intrepid and famously ill-fated explorers.
*Love the idea of a remote outback festival but would prefer to hire a 2WD campervan from Brisbane with all the bells and whistles? Why not check out the Mundi Mundi Festival that takes place in Broken Hill every April. You still get an awesome line-up of artists, an outback road trip, gorgeous scenery, fascinating history…but with sealed roads all the way!
Alice Springs, Northern Territory (August)
In a brilliant display of notorious Territorian humour, this outback regatta on the bone-dry River Todd is the NT’s version of London’s famous Henley-on-Thames Regatta. The teams of ‘rowers’ race across the hot sand Flintstone-style, carrying brightly coloured ‘boats’ fashioned from all manner of materials! Then, on the final day of the festival, The Battle of the Boats involves a raucous colourful water fight with water cannons and water bombs!
Grab either a 2WD or a 4WD campervan hire from Alice Springs depots, or take the incredible road trip from Adelaide or Darwin. We recommend staying in caravan parks in Alice Springs as you’ll want easy access to power, water and security (in case of petty crime). There are also a diversity of fabulous attractions in Alice, as it’s fondly known. A must-do is Alice Springs Desert Park, to be introduced to the diversity and beauty of the Australian desert, its people, plants and animals. Surrounding Alice, the magnificent East and West MacDonnell Ranges, whose glowing red canyons and picturesque waterholes were made famous by beloved Australian artist Albert Namatjira.
Shinju Matsuri ‘Festival of the Pearl’
Broome, Western Australia (August/September)
Planning a campervan hire to travel from Perth to Broome, or Perth to Darwin? Why not time your trip to coincide with the vibrant Shinju Matsuri Festival in Broome? Japanese for ‘Festival of the Pearl’, Shinju Matsuri is the proud celebration of Broome’s unique origins, history, and cultural diversity. Join in the festivities as the town bursts into a fiesta of colour, light, sounds and flavours in over 20 separate events. The highlights are the Wake the Dragon Ceremony, Sunset Long Table and for a mesmerizingly beautiful Floating Lantern Matsuri.
Grab a campervan hire in Perth to embark on one of the world’s greatest road trips: Perth to Darwin. Or if you plan to hire a campervan in Darwin for an epic journey to Broome or Perth, August/September is a great time to do it! And the Shinju Matsuri festival is just one good reason! This time of year wildflowers carpet national parks, humpbacks and whale sharks are migrating up the coast and the days are warm and sunny. Time it right and you can even catch that special treat staged by mother nature in the Kimberley; the magnificent Staircase to the Moon!
Ready to get your festival on?
Awesome! Let’s get cracking on finding you the perfect campervan to hire for your big adventure! Check out our huge range of motorhome hire optins, plan your route or have a chat with our expert travel team!

For this months box, I’m excited to say that we have a few interesting items I want to share with you. When the package came in, I was surprised it came in a water resistant paper envelope. I hugged it and try to figure out by feeling what was in the package. Call me crazy, but I feel like it was Christmas all over again.
It came with a Sierra Design Dridown Pillow, a green Universal note pad, a Cairn Scout Newsletter, 1 Skrich Labs Energy Bar with Cherries and pistachios, a Cairn sticker and last but not least an anti itch gel from The Itch Eraser. My favorite item is the Itch Eraser. My daughter recently got bitten by an insect a day ago and I thought maybe I try it out. It work wonders. I would definitely take this little cream with me when hiking.
Until next month, Happy Hiking!

WR-DB | 5-10, 205
Storyline: Undefeated West Hills scored four touchdowns to topple Central 27-13 last week. Two of those TDs belonged to Herrada, who turned on his track-speed burners and returned a pair of interceptions for scores of 60 and 80 yards. This week, the Wolf Pack host a tough Serra team that employs a balanced offensive attack. The Conquistadors average just south of 200 yards on the ground and use the aerial attack about 20 times per game. Serra is careful with the football, throwing just one pick in three games.
Name game: Herrada’s first name is Alex, which is short for Alejandro. According to his coach, he got the Peanut nickname from his mom at a young age and it stuck.
Key stat: Two. Herrada’s two-pick performance last week was a career high and doubled his interception season total of last year, when he played sparingly at safety.
Quotable: “He’s a terrific talent with very good speed and good instincts in the secondary,” said West Hills coach Tay Sneddon.
QB | 6-2, 186
Based on stats alone, you couldn’t tell that Freed is a first-year varsity signal-caller for the Knights. The junior has been spectacular, completing 64 of 90 passes for nine touchdowns, no interceptions and 1,143 yards while leading San Marcos to two wins in three games.
RB-LB | 5-8, 180
St. Mary’s of Canada tried stuffing the box with defenders, but nothing could stop the rushing onslaught of Brookins. He exploded for 262 yards and three touchdowns on just nine carries. Santana, which has surrendered no less than 160 yards rushing each contest, is next up for the Lancers.
RB-DB | 5-7, 140
Steen does it all for the Trojans: catches passes, runs the ball, defends against passes and returns kicks. His totals include three offensive touchdowns, 11 tackles, a fumble recovery, two deflected passes and three interceptions. This jack-of-all-trades stuffs the stat boxes each week and will need to defend well against high-scoring Clairemont.
DB-WR | 6-1, 180
Murray catches passes as a receiver and bats them down as a defensive back. He does most of his damage in the secondary with 12 tackles, three interceptions and two pass deflections. Against Helix, a team that tests defenses with a few deep balls, Murray should receive ample opportunities to use his ball-hawking skills.


As editors and publishers from around the United States gather at the LION Summit, the importantance of local news all over the world will be reinforced by a group of about a dozen journalists from Norway.
Sponsored by the Norwegian Institute of Journalism (an organization with perhaps the shortest URL ever), the managers from small news outlets around that Scandinavian nation will join LION members from the U.S. and Canada, and attendees from other countries, in discussing how to effectively rebuild local journalism.
The group first sent a delegation to the LION conference in 2016, and has repeated that in the years since. In spring 2018, LION chairman Dylan Smith was invited to speak at the annual conference of Landslaget for lokalaviser —Norway's Local Newspaper Association — in Bodø, north of the Arctic Circle.
"Norway has a large number of small newspapers (circulation 1,000 – 5,000), serving communities all over the country," said Asgeir Olden, associate director of Institutt for Journalistikk. "They are all on print (and on the Internet), and most of them have done remarkably well in a period when larger newspapers have struggled, particularly when it comes to circulation."
"Ad revenue has, however, dropped steadily, making the financial situation difficult for many. All of them are looking for new business models and tricks and tips of the trade," Olden said. "The LION conference is an opportunity to learn how net-based local media find niches, business opportunities and ways to survive."
38 LION members selected for Sustainability Audit’s 2023 September-November cycle
Publishers will receive expert guidance and $20,000

- intrauterine growth retardation;
Background. Alterations in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Hypercoagulability may be associated with features seen in preeclampsia, such as fibrin deposition in various organs, consumptive thrombocytopenia, and placental hypoperfusion, insufficiency and infarction.
Methods. In this cohort study, we compared the plasma levels of markers of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in preeclamptic women to normotensive, pregnant controls. We also studied the association between these markers and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).
Results. In both mild and severe preeclampsia, the mean plasma concentrations of thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) activity were significantly increased, while fibrinogen, antithrombin III (ATIII) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-2 (PAI-2) antigen levels were significantly reduced compared to controls. Plasma D-dimer concentration was significantly higher in severe, but not in mild preeclampsia compared to the controls. The plasma level of fibrin monomer was similar in patients and controls. Patients with preeclampsia delivering growth retarded infants had significantly lower PAI-1 activity and PAI-2 antigen concentrations in plasma than the remaining preeclamptic women.
Conclusions. We found evidence of increased intravascular coagulation and fibrin turnover in preeclampsia. Low PAI-2 antigen plasma levels were associated with severe preeclampsia and IUGR.

BERLIN (AP) — Xabi Alonso did it as a player. Now he’s done it again as a coach.
Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen routed Union Berlin 4-0 to return to the top of the Bundesliga after matching the league’s best-ever start on Sunday with 10 wins and a draw.
As a classy midfielder, Alonso was also part of the Bayern Munich team that only dropped two points in the first 11 rounds under coach Pep Guardiola in 2015-16.
“We don't want to talk too much about the record,” Alonso said. “We want to keep going, we want to look forward. It's going to be difficult before the winter break.”
Spanish compatriot Álex Grimaldo – a defender – scored again and set up another goal Sunday.
Grimaldo, who joined Leverkusen in the offseason from Benfica, took his league tally to six goals by scoring for the second consecutive game.
Leverkusen capitalized on some lackluster defending from Union when the 28-year-old Grimaldo was set up by Florian Wirtz to open the scoring in the 23rd minute.
The home team missed further good chances to build on its lead until Odilon Kossounou headed in a corner from Jonas Hofmann in the 56th.
Union defender Jérôme Roussillon prevented worse when he made a goal-line clearance a minute later, but Grimaldo sent in another corner for Jonathan Tah to seal the result in the 73rd.
There was still time for Nathan Tella to score his first Bundesliga goal with a fine finish on a counterattack that started with a free kick from the visitors in the 83rd.
Leverkusen moved back to two points clear of Bayern Munich, which had moved provisionally top Saturday with a 4-2 win over Heidenheim.
Union, which snapped a 12-game losing run across all competitions with a 1-1 draw at Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday, couldn’t prevent its ninth consecutive Bundesliga defeat as it dropped to last place.
“You could see a difference in class today," Union coach Urs Fischer said. “But I have to say, the manner in which we conceded the goals, we really made it too easy for them.”
When Leverkusen hosted Union in the 13th round of the Bundesliga last season, Union was top going into the game and Leverkusen was in the relegation zone. Now it’s the other way around.
“Hopefully all the players come back fit from the international break," Alonso said. "The feeling is super at the moment.”
Eintracht Frankfurt fought back from two goals down to draw at Werder Bremen 2-2.
Freiburg was visiting Leipzig later.

18. 1982 Cadillac Eldorado Touring Coupe
After the enormous and legendary 1978 Eldorado, Cadillac introduced the smaller, more modern 1979 model. The car featured front-wheel drive and upgraded ergonomics riding on a much shorter platform. The smaller dimensions brought new driving dynamics. And in 1982, Cadillac introduced an interesting package called the Eldorado Touring Coupe.
They marketed this car as a driver’s machine. It came with a stiffer suspension, black wall tires, the minimal use of chrome and a bucket seat interior. Due to its modifications, the 1982 to 1985 Eldorado Touring Coupe really a competent yet interesting car.

Tomb of Max Eberstadt, 1891, designed by Edward Burne-Jones, in Willesden Jewish Cemetery.
Reasons for Designation
The tomb of Max Eberstadt at Willesden Jewish Cemetery (United Jewish Cemetery) is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* For its unusual and restrained design, combining simplicity of layout with delicate inlaid embellishment, incorporating a distinctive cut-branch motif;
* As a rare funerary work by one of the foremost artists of the Victorian era, Edward Burne-Jones.
* It commemorates a member of a prominent late-C19 Anglo-Jewish family, with extensive connections in artistic, political and legal circles, Burne-Jones having been a close family friend.
* The tomb stands within Willesden Jewish Cemetery, which is registered at Grade II; a number of the tombs, and the war memorial, are listed at Grade II.
The United Synagogue was established by Act of Parliament in 1870, granting formal recognition to a union of five London Ashkenazi synagogues (the Great, Hambro, and New synagogues, together with the newer Central and Bayswater synagogues), under the guidance of Chief Rabbi Nathan Adler. Three years later, the United Synagogue opened its own cemetery, having purchased twelve acres from All Souls College, Oxford in the then village of Willesden, to the north-west of London. At first, only 5 acres of the plot were used for the cemetery (now known as the Old Cemetery), which then comprised a rectangular walled area approached from Pound Lane to the north-east by a drive, with a lodge by the entrance. To the south of this a group of funerary buildings was constructed, with a central avenue leading southwards, from which a grid of subsidiary paths soon grew, delimiting rectangular grave plots. Described as ‘the most important and prestigious Orthodox Jewish Cemetery in Britain’ (Marks 2014, 153), the United Synagogue Cemetery (more generally known as Willesden Jewish Cemetery) was intended to serve London’s most established Anglo-Jewish communities, prominent within which were families including those who originally purchased the site – the Rothschilds, Montagus, Waley-Cohens, and Beddingtons – whose often lavish tombs reflect long associations with the cemetery. The designer of the cemetery, and of its funerary buildings, was Nathan Solomon Joseph (1834-1909), the most prominent of the first generation of Anglo-Jewish synagogue architects; Joseph is buried in the cemetery.
The cemetery soon outgrew its original area and walls were demolished to allow for its expansion. In 1890 the area now known as Front Lawns was extended northwards to Beaconsfield Road, creating a more spacious approach to the funerary buildings, and in 1906, an additional ten and a half acres of land was purchased from All Souls to extend the burial ground southwards (the Southern Extension). The main entrance was moved to the junction of Beaconsfield Road and Glebe Road in 1909-10; the original lodge was demolished and a new lodge constructed by the entrance in a Queen Anne Revival style. Despite having been part of the original plot, the area known as Pound Lane Field, to the north-east of the site, was not incorporated into the burial ground until 1925-6, and not used for burials until 1943, in which year land on Front Lawns was also pressed into this service. Today, the cemetery can accommodate only a very limited number of new burials.
The Old Cemetery contains the earliest, and many of the most elaborate memorials. The most prestigious sites were those adjoining the main avenue and the cross paths by the prayer hall; the tomb of Max (Maximillian) Eberstadt (1844-1891) is to the south of the prayer hall, immediately to the east of the main avenue. Beside the tomb to the east is that of Sir George Lewis (1833-1911), a distinguished society lawyer, and his wife Elizabeth (1844-1931), who was Max Eberstadt’s twin sister. The ashes of another sister of Max and Elizabeth, Marie Joshua (d 1918), and her husband Samuel Joshua, are buried immediately opposite.
The Eberstadt family was a prominent one in Germany, first in Worms and then in Mannheim. Ferdinand Eberstadt, father of Max and Elizabeth, was mayor of Worms, and possibly Germany’s first Jewish mayor. The wealthy family had extensive contacts in artistic circles. Max Eberstadt moved to London in the late 1870s or early 1880s, where he became secretary to Ernest (later Sir Ernest) Cassel, the merchant banker and financier. The Eberstadts maintained their social and artistic interests in London, where Elizabeth Lewis created a salon of painters, writers, politicians and lawyers. Following Max’s sudden illness and death in January 1891, Elizabeth asked her close friend, Edward Burne-Jones, to design a tomb for her brother. Max Eberstadt was also commemorated by his friends, the musician George Henschel, who dedicated his ‘Music to Shakespeare’s Hamlet’ to him in 1892, and the poet John Payne, in a sonnet entitled ‘To Max Eberstadt in Willesden Cemetery’.
Edward (later Sir Edward) Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was one of the leading artists of the late C19 Pre-Raphaelite movement. Besides painting, Burne-Jones engaged in a wide variety of design work, notably in the field of stained glass. The cut branch motif which features on Eberstadt’s tomb – one frequently found on Jewish funerary monuments, indicating a life cut short – recalls the Whitelands Cross which he designed, at John Ruskin’s request, for Whitelands College in 1883. His funerary commissions were few, the most celebrated being the tomb of his patron Frederick Leyland (d 1902) in Brompton Cemetery (listed at Grade II*). The design for Eberstadt’s tomb is now held by the Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums, having been given by Elizabeth’s daughter Katie, the recipient of Burne-Jones’s ‘Letters to Katie’, now in the British Museum.
Tomb of Max Eberstadt, 1891, designed by Edward Burne-Jones, in Willesden Jewish Cemetery. The design of the sombre ledger slab conforms with Jewish custom, which discourages ostentation in burial, whilst incorporating restrained but sophisticated design elements.
MATERIALS: the tomb is made of stone, the face now having a reddish hue. The central roundel, and a band following the south, west and north margins of the tomb are of darker grey stone. The decoration and lettering is in lead, the lettering now largely lost, or displaced.
DESCRIPTION: a rectangular ledger, of two steps with chamfered edges, resting on a low plinth. The maker’s name is marked on the plinth: ‘MONUMENTAL Co KENSAL GREEN’. The surface of the tomb has an asymmetrical design, with a large central roundel bearing the curvilinear motif of a cut branch, probably laurel. The inscription runs round three sides of the tomb, with Hebrew lettering below, and English above, in Gothic script. The inscription is now largely illegible, although the design drawing indicates that this includes Eberstadt’s name and dates, and the Biblical texts 1 Samuel 29:6, “Surely as the Lord liveth thou has been upright… for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto this day”, and Proverbs 27:19, “As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man’. This is confirmed by the legible final words on the tomb itself, which read ‘[...] the heart of man to man’.

In order to prevent complicated developments in the Covid-19 epidemic, the City Center for Disease Control will carry out a random sampling of covid-19 for passengers arriving to Ho Chi Minh City from Noi Bai, Da Nang, Phu Quoc airports and staff working at Tan Son Nhat International Airport have contact with passengers (both arrival and departure stations). This is an activity in the community surveillance plan, enhancing the prevention of covid-19 epidemic after the holiday when new cases appear in the community.
Passengers need to arrive at the airport early to complete the airline procedures, to avoid congestion and unfortunate flight misses. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly comply with the regulations on mandatory medical declaration before the flight, wear mask from the time you enter the station and throughout the flight. The medical declaration can be made within 24 hours from the departure time, at the link https://tokhaiyte.vn/, https://kekhaiyte.vn/, or mobile application. Guests who have not made a medical declaration online will not be allowed to check in and do security checks (passengers can refer to the medical declaration instructions here: https://www.facebook.com/PacificAirlinesFanpage/posts/4167947999924043)

Philanthropy’s support of veterans causes has been spotty, even as the needs of veterans have grown. So it’s a big deal that Craigslist founder Craig Newmark has emerged as a major new giver in this space.
While violent conflict can torpedo a range of goals pursued by philanthropy, ensuring peace and stability is too often a sideline concern for funders. Here’s why that needs to change—and what any grantmaker can do right now.
More foundations are looking to back social movements these days, but grantmaking in this space can be tricky. A guest contributor draws on years of experience to offer some candid advice to funders.
The risk of nuclear weapons use has been rising, but few funders focus on this threat, which can seem abstract and for which it’s hard to show impact. What will it take to draw new money into this critical space?
Two donors giving for global peace and security argue that nonprofits in this field need to get more sophisticated to attract greater funding—and that embracing business practices can help.
Even as the international climate has grown ever more tense, most foundations remain uninterested in military and foreign policy. IP Editor David Callahan takes a deep dive into funding trends in this space.
The bad news: A growing array of strongman leaders are curtailing democratic freedoms worldwide. The good news: Human rights funders are giving more than ever and embracing new strategies.
When the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land in 2015, many advocates worried there’d be a falloff of funding. Now, it’s clear that this didn’t happen, according to the latest data.
A new study sheds light on how funders working overseas (and at home) can navigate complex local situations and do a better job of boosting grassroots efforts to make change.
Grantmaking to prevent war and foster peace adds up to less than 1 percent of total foundation giving. The good news? Funders in this critical space punch well above their weight.
A record number of people were killed last year trying to protect the environment around the world. We look at what some funders are doing to provide better security.
As the Democratic Republic of the Congo teeters on the brink of a new conflagration, two longtime funders working there tell us how they're responding. Many foundations investing in Africa also have a lot a stake as this crisis heats up.
While the media faces unprecedented political attacks in the U.S., reporters are being killed in record numbers worldwide. More grant money is flowing in response to the growing hostility and violence.
When Hewlett launched its cybersecurity initiative in 2014, a key premise was that civil society needed a stronger voice on these critical issues. That's now more obvious—and the foundation is expanding its work.
Over 20 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance in Yemen and 8 million are said to be "one step away from starvation." What are U.S. funders doing here? Not much.
The current funding landscape for LGBT rights funding has been on a steady increase for the past 10 years or so. The problem is that funding has historically failed to address the needs of intersex and trans communities. Is the tide turning?
While the widespread problem of modern slavery still scares off many funders, more donors have come into this space lately—including the founders of a wealthy publishing company we'd never heard of.
The billionaire is giving millions to universities to promote a less interventionist U.S. foreign policy. It's a ripe moment for such grantmaking, with the public weary of war and an "America First" populist in office.
Despite the critical role that local actors play in tackling violence and building sustainable peace, only a small fraction of peacebuilding funding goes to local organizations. Here's how to change that.
While few top U.S. foundations are paying attention to a campaign of genocidal violence in Myanmar, a cadre of small and determined grantmakers are deeply engaged in this crisis.
George Clooney's effort to promote peace in Africa is a case study of effective celebrity philanthropy. He focuses on overlooked niches and commits both his star power and real money to moving the needle.
These are nerve wracking times for U.S. advocates working to combat human trafficking. But grants keep flowing from key funders, including support for novel approaches to the problem in cities.
Ted Turner's $1 billion pledge to U.N. causes in 1997 ushered in a new era of big philanthropy. Twenty years later, we look at what this gift achieved.
Chris Stone is out as president of OSF. What led to his departure from one of the world's largest foundations? And what challenges, internal and external, does OSF face as it confronts a new era of authoritarianism?
The situation on the Korean peninsula is increasingly scary. What can philanthropy realistically do to help shape outcomes here? And which funders are on the case?
Even as wars rage on multiple continents, it can be hard for funders to know how or where to give to promote global security. A longtime donor weighs in on the need for new research and analysis.
Systems thinking is getting a lot of attention these days. For Humanity United, it's provided a way to approach human rights and security issues that can seem overwhelming and intractable.
The Enough Project has pioneered an innovative approach to preventing mass atrocities and addressing corruption and famine. What's it doing and where does its funding come from?
While Microsoft's global philanthropy is mainly focused on closing the digital divide, it sees another place where technology can make a difference—human rights—and just launched new work with the U.N.

July 15, 2010 FDC meeting
- 727 B.C. status
- production planning
- wire stringing design
- rohacell ring production
- Electronics: update (Fernando)
- Cathode foil: update (Roger)
- Cathode frame prototyping
- Full-scale prototype tests
Participants: Eugene, Fernando, Glenn, Roger, Mark, Casey, Beni, Simon, and Lubomir.
- The PR for the clean room is signed and out for bid. Ron Bartek is working on the HVAC, estimating to have it by early September. For our planning we assume we will have the clean room at the beginning of October.
- Lubomir included in the Fast Track file the production of the one-layer prototype which will take 2.5 weeks if having 8 technicians. This includes one wire and two cathode layers. Suppose we start on Oct.4 we will be ready with the prototype on Oct.20. Then, we can start with the mass production at the beginning of November. This answers Fernando's questions when we will need the PCBs. Fernando also asked if we have the 8 technicians needed for the job. Eugene answered, we would have to hire new techs. It will be difficult because the term will be only for one year, but probably we will need some of them for the constructions in the hall, as well. This will be synchronized later when it will be clear when we will have the clean room.
- No news from Bill about the design of the wire stringing fixtures. He wanted to use the strongbacks that are at IUCF: Lubomir tried to contact Keith Solberg from IUCF, without success so far. In this line, the system for wire position measurements was recovered at UVA, they are testing it right now at UVA. We will have to find a way to bring it here. They plan also to improve their system for tension measurements, based on exciting the wires by induction from an electrode and looking for the resonance frequency. Glenn suggested to talk to Mac Mestayer from Hall B about their system. Fernando said that the problem with the Hall B system is that you need to make connections to both ends of the wire. In our case this will be difficult especially for the field wires.
- The templates for the rohacell arcs are ready. The two Liping's students that were supposed to work on this project are working in the moment on the PRIMEX experiment. However, Lubomir talked to Ashot: we may use the students when they are not busy, will be discussed again tomorrow. We will need also a gluing template, Bill will get it made by the machine shop.
- Fernando: we expect the first PCBs next week. It turned out that the HV capacitors (rated for 4kV) are not available in the moment, and there's a lead time of 12 weeks if we want to order them. Instead there are 3kV capacitors available. Fernando asked if this is acceptable. Eugene mentioned the problems with the FCAL capacitors and asked if we can wait for the original capacitors that were used already in the prototype. Fernando: we will need the capacitors in August to proceed with the stuffing of the PCBs; 3kV and 4kV capacitors are really the same type (different from the FCAL ones) just rated for different HV. We don't expect to put HV more than 3kV for sure. Eugene suggested to do extensive tests of the 3kV capacitors at the working HV.
- Cathode foils: Roger showed us a plastic cylinder and a paper sample he received from the company to be used for transporting the foils. Mark said this paper should work (he had bad experience before with a sticky on one side paper). Fernando and Glenn suggested possible improvements: placing caps on the cylinder ends, using two cylinders with the foil in between. There are also other questions that need to be iterated with the company, like how many foils will be rolled on one cylinder. Roger will further communicate with the company to improve the packaging, while Mark and Casey will exercise packing using the company's paper. Roger is also checking the Gerber files and will send them soon to the company for quotation.
- We have now two (one of each type) new design cathode frames machined in our machine shop. There was a problem with the vacuum fixture during the machining of one of the frames. According to Bill the procedure will change and this will not reoccur. Mark and Casey will prototype the new flapping design (to improve the grounding), using the foils that we have now. Roger will give them drawings to cut the flaps according to the new design. Mark and Casey will also improve the procedure of gluing the foil to the transfer ring so that there's extra length to be used for the flaps.
Full-scale prototype test results
- Beni explained the procedure he used to calculate the wire resolution. The top two wire planes are read out, which wires are parallel. He plots the difference of the distances calculated from the drift times of the two layers as a function of the angle alpha (a drawing explaining this is attached above). He extracts the resolution for angles close to zero and gets about 200microns. The resolution is getting better if applying angle corrections. There's still a dependence of the corrected difference on the angle. Possible explanation: the time to distance relation used was for the standard field/sense voltages and now we have zero voltage on the field wires (otherwise it trips).
- Fernando asked if we are happy with the present gain and dynamic range of the pre-amps. Lubomir: in principle we can adjust the HV to correspond to the dynamic range of the cards but it affects also the resolution. Now we have the gain at the cathode cards of 2.6mV/fC which is the lowest value in the cathode gain range. It would be better to have also lower gains (like 2.3) possible. Part of the problem about choosing the working HV is that we suspect we have oxygen contamination that reduces the amplitude: up to factor of two effect for the longest drift distances. If this is the case, without contamination we could lower the HV by ~100V and have much narrower dynamic range.
- We still don't have all the hardware needed to set-up the oxygen measurement system. First, Casey and Mark will install wheels on the rack. Beni is still waiting for the flow controller.

Rowley on course for another term as T&T Prime Minister
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley was able to fend off a tough challenge from Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar to retain leadership of Trinidad and Tobago.
Rowley’s People’s National Movement (PNM) is projected to take home 22 of the 41 seats in the House of Representatives while Persad-Bissessar’s United National Congress (UNC) will have 19.
One consolation for the UNC was their ability to wrestle the Moruga/Tableland seat from the PNM.
During his victory speech, Rowley said: “Tonight against all odds, in a most difficult situation, the PNM has once again been called to service in the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.
“It has not been an easy task. It has not been an easy way but the PNM has stayed the course and once again we have been called to provide the people of Trinidad and Tobago with the good governance it expects from the People’s National Movement.”
Some hot button issues for the Rowley Administration was the coronavirus pandemic, the closure of the state’s oil and gas company Petrotrin and corruption.
The PNM may soon be looking for a new leader since Rowley said: “I am not one of these politicians who believe that when you come into office, you must go out feet first. I have places to go and people to see.”
“But more importantly I have a commitment to ensure that this is a period of transition in the PNM.”
He continued: “And as the longest serving member in the Parliament, who will continue to serve another term, I have a duty and a responsibility, during this term, to fashion the PNM’s future by ensuring that our young people are developed in such a way that when I am no longer in this position to announce an election [victory], the country will not be deprived of the leadership it deserves.
Persad-Bissessar has not conceded defeat since UNC candidates in at least three marginal seats have filed for recounts.
She however stated: “We have fought a very good fight. We did our best and we will continue to do our best for the country and for our constituents.”
Persad-Bissessar noted her party did well and could have done better.
A swearing in of Rowley’s new Government will not take place until the Elections and Boundaries Commission concludes the recount and males an election declaration.

GIRLS DIV. I Canfield bumped from tourney
The Cardinals, plagued by foul trouble, let their lead to Canton McKinley slip away.
By JOE SCALZO
VINDICATOR SPORTS STAFF
ALLIANCE -- Canfield High girls basketball coach Pat Pavlansky turned to his assistants midway through the fourth quarter and said, "If you've got any ideas, let me know. I don't have any."
By that time, it may have been too late.
After a strong first half, the Cardinals got into foul trouble in the second half -- which led to real trouble against Canton McKinley.
The Bulldogs made 24-of-25 free throws and rallied from a late third-quarter deficit to beat Canfield 61-50 in a Division I sectional Saturday at Alliance High School.
Wrong day to play: "They were better than us today," Pavlansky said. "If we play tomorrow, I like our chances, but we just didn't play our game today."
McKinley junior Treasure Humphries led the Bulldogs (13-9) with 23 points, eight rebounds and four steals. Junior Telly Jackson added 12 points and seven rebounds and junior Abby Gross had 10 points and seven rebounds.
"We play a really tough schedule with teams like Walsh Jesuit, Pickerington and Regina and that kind of prepares us for the tournament," Bulldog coach Curt Bucklew said. "You play good teams and hopefully it pays off."
Canfield junior Jill Vertanen led the Cardinals (15-6) with 20 points -- 15 in the first half -- and 10 rebounds. Senior Erin Martin -- who missed most of the third quarter after picking up her fourth foul -- added 16 points and six assists.
Turn of events: The Bulldogs jumped out to a 17-8 lead with 2:02 remaining in the first quarter and seemed to be in control. But Canfield answered with an 18-0 run, spanning more than six minutes, to take a 26-17 lead midway through the second quarter.
"That's when we started playing our game," said Pavlansky, whose team advanced to the Div. II state finals last year.
But McKinley didn't fold. Humphries scored four points in 10 seconds and later hit a 3-pointer to pull the Bulldogs within 32-28 at halftime.
Canfield held a 34-30 lead when Martin picked up her fourth foul with 4:48 remaining in the third. By the time she got back in to start the fourth, McKinley led 43-39 and was in the bonus the rest of the way.
"We make a run and Martin thinks she has to make a steal and she picks up her fourth," Pavlansky said. "We got their guard [Tyonna Vance] in foul trouble in the first half, but they did it to us in the second."
Canfield got no closer than six in the fourth quarter. McKinley hit all 18 of its free throw attempts in the second half.
Next season: The Cardinals lose three seniors, including starters Martin and Nicole Vlajkovich but will return three starters, including Vertanen, who had a standout game.
"We're very happy to have Jill back," Pavlansky said. "She's a great kid and doesn't get the credit she deserves. We've got a nice group returning."
McKinley advances to play North Canton Hoover next Thursday. The Bulldogs are the only team to beat Hoover this season.
"We're a better team than we were five or six games ago," Bucklew said. "But there's some good teams left."
