North Korea fired a short range missile into the sea off its east coast on Sunday. It's the second day in a row the rogue nation fired short range missiles for no apparent reason. Seems a little wasteful, doesn't it?
South Korean officials confirmed to Reuters and the Assoicated Press that North Korea fired a short-range missile into the sea for the second day in a row. North Korea fired three short range KN-02 missiles off the same coast on Saturday. It was mostly seen as a cry for attention. Today's firing must be the cherry on top.
Short range missiles can't for much further than 620 miles. And while the posturing about medium- and long-range nuclear warheads tightened tensions in the Korean peninsula in the first half of the year, North Korea's short-range missile testing is more common.
Still, considering tensions are still high, the tests are worrying some people. Things looked to be calming down in April when North Korea withdrew the medium-range Musudan missiles that were not so subtly positioned so they could reach South Korea, or American military bases in Guam. There were near daily threats of nuclear war, so even these short range missiles are drawing attention from western leaders who see the peninsula like an egg: it's always on the verge of cracking. U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti that NoKo's short range missile testing was a "provocative action," before urging them to return to the negotiating table with the west. "I hope North Korea will refrain from further such actions," Ban said. No one hold your breath waiting for that.

Poet and columnist Farhad Mazhar may not have been abducted, according to information received by the law enforcing agencies till now.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) A K M Shahidul Hoque told reporters on Saturday that as per information available to police, it appeared Farhad Mazhar had not been abducted.
"We think he was not abducted," the police boss said, adding that more information is needed to reach a final conclusion on the matter.
He came up with the observation in a seminar on Measures to Prevent Drug Abuse at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh (IDEB Bhaban) organised by Jamuna Bank Foundation on Saturday.
In reply to another question about fake drug case against Ashik, Daily Observer photojournalist, by police, the IGP said if they received any proof that it was a fake case, action would be taken against the responsible police officer.
There will be an investigation into the matter, he added.
Earlier on July 3, Farhad Mazhar was said to have been kidnapped by unknown miscreants from Adabar in the capital in the early hours.
Later, police found him aboard a 'Hanif Paribahan' bus at Nayapara in Abhaynagar upazila of Jessore district while he was returning to Dhaka from Khulna.

HOUSTON, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Legislators in more than half the states have passed Voter ID laws. Life of the Law, a national podcast produced by a team of investigative reporters and scholars finds these laws disproportionately impact minority voters. Texas Rep Jim Murphy says the state's voter ID law was passed to ensure, "one vote counts as much as the next." But a scholar from St. Mary's Univ says the intent of voter ID law in Texas was to, "prevent minorities from voting." Minority voters in Houston describe difficulties trying to secure voter IDs to go to the polls.
How will these voter ID laws affect the outcome of minority voting on Super Tuesday and the election of the next President?

Talk in the mainly Maori community of Murupara is all about who has won more than $12 million in Saturday's Lotto draw.
Murupara in the central Bay of Plenty has a population of about 2000 people.
The Murupara winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he had to ask his boss for the day off on Monday so he could travel to Wellington to claim the prize.
A former councillor for Murupara and Galatea, Jacob Te Kurapa, says people in the township are very happy the prize was won by a local, and not someone travelling through.
He says speculation was rife in the town on Sunday morning, with talk in the shops, text messages doing the rounds, and excited remarks on the social networking site Facebook.
"Speculation was rife amongst the community as to who had won the $12 million and whose house was going to be loaded all of a sudden with family and friends to celebrate their success."

Former Dunmow student volunteers in life-changing Africa project
- Credit: Archant
A former Helena Romanes student has just returned from a three-month volunteering project working with nomadic communities in Nigeria.
Twenty-year-old Becca Agar, from Felsted, lived and worked in Oke-Ero, in the Kwara State, teaching literacy to adults and children as part of a VSO ICS youth volunteering development project.
Becca, who begins her final year at Durham University this month studying English literature, said the experience was one not be to forgotten.
She said: “It was challenging, and very different to life in the UK, but we were very well received by people in the communities, who really welcomed us into their homes.
“It was a great opportunity and something I will never forget.”
Becca said the experience has inspired her to want to help people through charity work, and is now considering a career in international development.

Khama, The Great African Chief
|Title||Khama, The Great African Chief|
"Khama, The Great African Chief" is a biography of the famous African ruler, Khama III, who ruled the Bamangwato people of Botswana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written by John Charles Harris, a British colonial administrator who knew Khama personally, the book provides a detailed account of Khama's life and leadership, as well as his interactions with the British colonial authorities. Harris portrays Khama as a wise and benevolent leader who navigated the challenges of colonialism with great skill while remaining true to his people's traditions and values. The book also offers insights into the social and political dynamics of Botswana during this period and sheds light on the complex relationships between African rulers and European colonizers. Through its engaging narrative and vivid descriptions, "Khama, The Great African Chief" provides a valuable window into the history of southern Africa, and the struggles and achievements of its people in the face of colonialism and oppression.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, LOVED the outdoor bath. Place was keen and cosy. It does not have a 'Full kitchen' however despite the description so not the place if you would like to cook in. Room included a kettle, toaster, sink and microwave.
Great stay and very responsive organisers.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Magnolia Place. So close to everything. It was very clean and well equipped. It had everything we could possibly want for an extended family getaway. Highly recommend!

State of Play Sony
It’s no secret that PlayStation fans have been waiting for the PS Showcase for a while now. But their wait will be eased today.
The gaming giant announced yesterday that it will host a new State of Play today only. The SoP will only be around 20-minutes long and mostly focused on Japanese games.
State of Play
The stream will reveal gameplay footage of 10 games planned for PS4, PS5, and PS VR2; it will feature a handful of surprises as well. The show will go live at 6 p.m. EST to be streamed on YouTube and Twitch.
Sony didn’t reveal which games we can expect, and noting that they are all Japanese doesn’t exactly narrow it down. There are tons of upcoming Japanese games in development, with many exclusives.
The show could reveal Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth or Final Fantasy XVI . Capcom could reveal more about Resident Evil 4 Remake or Resident Evil Village Gold Edition. We could also see more of Exoprimal or Pragmata. There is a chance that none of them will be there, and the event will just focus on indie games. Though, I am sure many fans will be disappointed if that happens.
Sony could also show more information about God of War Ragnarok. I know that it’s not a Japanese game, but it is the only AAA first-party title coming this year to PlayStation. Sony needs to start its marketing campaign soon. Plus, fans have been starving for more gameplay footage.
PS5 users don’t have a lot of first-party exclusive games to look forward to. Other than GOW Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, and Wolverine, we don’t know what Sony’s studios are working on.
The publisher needs to hold a major showcase soon to reveal what other games they have in the works. For the last two years, the PlayStation Showcase took place in September. However, till now, we haven’t heard a word.

Currently, the state is facing a budget shortfall of $20 billion, equal to the Gross Domestic Product of oil-rich Bahrain. Think about that for a moment. Then, consider that according to a 2007 study by Philip Romero–a former RAND Corporation research economist, top economic adviser to former California Gov. Pete Wilson, and later the Dean of the University of Oregon School of Business–the gap between state services enjoyed by and tax revenue from illegal immigrants is between $10 and $38 billion.
Even on the conservative side, a 2004 study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform based on an analysis of data from the 2000 Census revealed that Californians were footing the bill for illegal immigrants at a total of $10.5 billion per year, or roughly $1,200 per non-illegal household in the state. From FAIR:
The more than $10.1 billion in costs incurred by California taxpayers is composed of outlays in the following areas:
- Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in California and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Californians spend approximately $7.7 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings. Nearly 15 percent of the K-12 public school students in California are children of illegal aliens.
- Health care. Uncompensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population amount to about $1.4 billion a year.
- Incarceration. The cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in California’s prisons and jails amounts to about $1.4 billion a year (not including related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
And that was in 2004. Things are getting worse. Quickly. Consider that the same study conducted by Philip Romero in 2007 was conducted a little more than a decade before under Gov. Wilson — at that time, the shortfall between state services enjoyed by illegals and tax revenue received from illegals was a mere $3.6 billion.
But if you ask Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, illegal immigrants “provide a great deal to the economic might” of California.
“There are a lot of benefits to [illegal] immigration,” he told CNS News in May. “More benefits than detriments, if you will.”
Actually, Mr. Mayor, at last count it seems as though Californians are looking at between $10 and $38 billion in detriments.
And, even better, here’s good ole’ Governor Moonbeam, promising that once he has the budget “solved”–good luck with that–one of the very first bills he will sign will ensure that illegal immigrants will be guaranteed college admission in California.
We have enough wealth to continue to have a great university and get every kid in this school that can qualify. And when I say ‘every young man and young woman,’ I mean everyone — whether they’re documented or not. If they went to school, they ought to be here.
And that will be one of the first bills I sign. Of course, I’m not going to sign any bills until we get the budget solved, and that may take me a couple of months.
Certainly, the state couldn’t force illegal immigrants to pay for schooling … why start now? Unfortunately, when it comes to the three-prong common sense approach to stemming the tide of illegal immigration–build a fence, shut down the magnets, enforce the laws currently on the books–California gets a failing grade for all three. Any fencing along the southern border is there because of the hard work of folks like Duncan Hunter, and yet California still has upwards of four million (five? six?) inhabitants who have broken the law just by stepping foot into the state in the first place.
Californians are going to wake up and smell the stupidity, right? They can actually feel the downward spiral by now, can’t they?
See for yourself. If you believe Reuters or Survey USA, Brown is actually leading Meg Whitman by four points only a fortnight away from the election. If you believe Scott Rasmussen, Brown is leading by six.
It’s inexplicable. It’s like Stockholm Syndrome. It’s like the battered wife who just keeps coming back for more, absolutely positive that her abusive husband will change. And in those cases, depending upon which Lifetime movie you’re watching, one of two things will inevitably occur: either the battered wife decides that the shiner she’s covering up with foundation will be the last and she introduces her scumbag husband to a sharp object of some sort, or she ends up dead in a bathtub at the hands of a psychotic spouse who just couldn’t stop at a broken orbital this time.
California has a choice. The state either elects a woman who has spent her entire life growing business and creating jobs, or it elects a washed-up, embittered has-been whose ideas for economic recovery is limited to strengthening a sector of the economy responsible for only three percent of the jobs in the Golden State. With that economic picture, it’s either kill or be killed. It’s either once again become a beacon of hope and shining example of prosperity for the United States of America, or start a chain reaction that could bring the entire nation to its knees.
Is California capable of being saved? We’ll know on the morning of November 3.


You would think that a party that has struggled to attract black voters would be extra careful when it comes to the distribution of material that could be construed as racist. That didn’t seem to be a concern for Chip Saltsman, who distributed a CD to RNC members that included the song, “Barack the Magic Negro.” Saltsman is a former chair of the Tennessee Republican Party and a top adviser to former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist; he most recently managed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaign. Click here if you haven’t heard the song. “I think most people recognize political satire when they see it,” Saltsman told CNN. “I think RNC members understand that.” Don’t get me wrong, I have a high threshold for political satire and for political comedy generally. That said, this little spectacle does nothing more than remind me of the sad history of how white Americans have used stereotypes as a means of racial control and as a means to maintaining a political system steeped in white supremacy. We can go back to Reconstruction for an example..
or even to the beginning of the twentieth century.
Given that there are still plenty of people in this country who continue to hold tight to their racist beliefs it is inexcusable that a prominent member of the Republican Party would distribute such a song. It’s one thing if a lard ass such as Rush Limbaugh wants to play it on his idiotic radio show, but intelligent people with even a modicum of good taste ought to steer clear of what is potentially hurtful and insulting to many. What I find most striking is that this individual apparently didn’t think twice about the broader historical context into which such a song must be placed. And the RNC – the party of Lincoln and emancipation – wonders why they struggle to attract African Americans.

WWE’s line of NXT figures have been a hit at Target stores since debuting in 2017. Some of the biggest names form NXTs past and present have had figures debut, and these waves will be no different. Former champions, future stars, and fan favorites will be in both Elite and basic form this spring. Mattel and WWE continue to be a perfect match, and hopefully distribution to Target stores improves with these waves.
Up first will be the long-awaited figures for everyone’s favorite now-defunct former NXT tag-team champions DIY. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa Basics will be coming in revision cases of wave 2 anytime now. Each comes with an WWE NXT chair and collectors card. Both figures look pretty great, and it will be nice to relive the heyday of DIY before Ciampa turned on Gargano last year.
Wave 3 of Basics will consist of two flashback figures in Paige and Xavier Woods, a weirdly colored suit version of Triple H, and debut figures for Roderick Strong and Bille Kay. All five figures will come with title belts, as well. All of the belts are the older versions and do not feature vac-metalization like their Elite counterparts. I missed getting the old NXT tag-team titles before, so it is cool to get another shot here. I have the Elite version of Paige already, so out of the four that is the only one I will probably be skipping. I need the Triple H for my triple H shelf, and the other three figures all look great.
Elite-wise, wave 3 is half flashbacks and half “current” stars. Alexander Rusev is awesome, and a lot of people only familiar with current main roster look will be shocked by this one. The shorter hair still throws me off whenever I see it. And talk about weird — Roman Reigns in shorts! I actually wish he still had this look on the main roster; he looks way more intimidating. Definitely more like a heel, though. Kudos to Mattel for using a cloth shirt, as well. The plastic ones almost never look right.
Newer Elites will be Bobby Roode and Ember Moon. Roode of course is on SmackDown, but he comes with the updated NXT championship, so he will be sought-after. Personally, I think he looks okay, but I will wait for an Elite that comes with his robe. The standout figure of all these is the Elite Ember Moon. Just an exceptional job here, from the dye job on the hair to the way they nailed her entrance gear. If she came with the NXT Women’s title, it would be perfect, since she is the current champ. But she won well after this figure was tooled, so we have to wait.
Yet again Mattel has given us great figures from NXT. These will be in stores in the Spring.

Trump has mismanaged the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in far greater jobs and businesses being lost than could have otherwise been the case. The pandemic triggered 22 million job losses, bringing the unemployment rate to rise to 15% in April. Research also suggests that during the first phase of the pandemic, over 100,000 small businesses closed down. Such a significant loss of employment led to a rise in the number of people receiving food stamps and visiting food banks. Trump’s unwillingness to take seriously the potential public health consequences of the pandemic lead to a surge in cases and deaths. Without significant further financial stimulus, the economy will not recover and millions will remain unemployed, having wider impacts on consumer goods industries.
Whilst an economic shock following the coronavirus outbreak was inevitable, Trump has overseen an impressive recovery in such a short period. Almost half of the jobs lost at the start of the pandemic have been recovered, and Trump wants to keep the economy as open as possible to prevent a second downturn. Prior to the pandemic, the US economy was making progress, and no administration could have predicted the outbreak of coronavirus. Trump is not responsible for the pandemic or the economic shock that followed - he has brought about a swift recovery that will continue. For more on this, refer to the argument 'Donald Trump has revitalised the American economy'.

Finally a study most of us can agree with, so crack open the Cabernet, and uncork the Merlot – because red wine before bed may help you lose weight. Yeah, you read that correctly.
According to two recent studies by Washington State University and Harvard Medical School, drinking two glasses of wine before bed can help with weight loss and obesity.
Wine can serve as a preventive measure against obesity. The 13-year Harvard University longitudinal study showed that women who drank two glasses of red wine a day had a 70% reduced risk of obesity compared to non-drinkers.
The Washington State University study showed that wine had properties which turned “white fat” into “beige fat,” which is much easier to burn off, thus helping fight obesity.
Red wine owes these transformative effects to a polyphenol called Resveratrol. Resveratrol can be found in the skins of grapes and is produced in response to injury, or when the plant is attacked by fungi, bacteria or other pathogens.
When consumed by humans, resveratrol has antioxidative properties that can help you to fight obesity, diabetes, improve the health of your heart and bones and even contribute to longevity.
Red wine is abundant in resveratrol, so indulging in some before bed is not only rewarding after a hard day of work and obligations, but also very healthy.
Why before bed, you may ask?

Our Pick: Pre-Game ML // Live ML
In 2020, the Seahawks are 1-0 after a loss with an attempt this week to double up on that record. In 2019, the team went 4-1 after a loss. Historically, Wilson is 32-8 after a loss in career. It’s safe to say Pete Carroll will have the Seahawks ready for a redemption. It’s noteworthy the Rams are also coming off a bye week after a loss away to the Dolphins led by Tua in his first start.
In 2020, the Rams are 3-0 when playing at home and the Seahawks are 2-2 when playing away. 2 of the 3 wins for the Rams came against teams with losing records — the Seahawks are 6-2 (first in the NFC West).
The Seahawks offense ranks third in the league with 415 yards per game on average while the Rams defense is second in league giving up just 291.9 yards per game. The Rams rank fifth in league in Sacks so look for the pass rush — more likely Wilson’s getaway ability to favor the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are also hoping to get back two running backs: Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde. Look for the running game to balance the recent pass heavy approach highlighting the dominant Metcalf.
Week 10 – November 15, 2020
Line: +105 | Over/Under: 54.5
Seattle Seahawks (6-2, 2-2 Away) at Los Angeles Rams (5-3, 3-0 Home)

Stories for the Rain and Snow
A Winter Reading List by Local Authors
As we step into the heart of winter here in the Great Wet North, the idea of bundling up in a heap of blankets, nestling up by the fire – or more likely the heater – and catching up on some much needed reading becomes all the more appealing. To help with any wintry reading endeavors you may be planning, we’ve put together a list of various books from local authors which are sure to be wonderful literary accomplices.
by Tracy Daugherty
Our first entry is a collection of short stories and novellas from novelist and OSU professor Tracy Daugherty. Linked together in theme and locale, the stories take place in the West Texas desert – an inhospitable place prone to strife and struggle for those within its reaches. Within these desert narratives, Daugherty explores the innately human ways in which people form connections, in spite of their often hostile surroundings.
by H.B. Cavalier, under the
pen name “Véva Perala”
The first novel published by Nowhere Press, an independent publisher local to Corvallis, “Farewell Everything” takes place in a world of “magical realism, waking from a dark age.” The narrative follows Osha Oloberon, a nineteen-year-old nomad and street performer on the run from his troubled past. Osha’s is the coming-of-age tale of an unlikely hero who must face the timeless and deeply human struggles of love, loss, grief, and death – all amidst a backdrop of war, mysticism, and climate change.
This newly published novel comes to us from Paul Turner, builder and owner of Corvallis’ own Darkside Theater. “*footnotes” takes place in the aftermath of a young woman’s suicide, examining its effects upon three generations of people who knew her. The novel explores how suicide and mental illness can shape an individual – creating an experience unique to each person or survivor, living with or in proximity to these challenges. A press release from the author reads, “This fictional account shares some of the lesser known aspects and challenges of mental illness. People who carry the weight of mental illness often feel they are insignificant, mere footnotes.”
Forces beyond comprehension come to haunt the residents of the quiet little town of Clearing, Oregon in this debut novel by Kate Hope Day. Both a thriller and a reflection on the communal, interconnected nature of life, the novel follows four neighbors who begin to experience visions of realities parallel to their own: potential twists and turns within their own lives.
by Keith Scribner
“Old Newgate Road” is a story of generational abuse, redemption, and one man’s attempts to set his family’s troubled past aright.
For fans of fantasy, “The Soft Fall” offers passage to the likes of ancient Roman mythology, with warring countries, and monsters rumored to stalk the outskirts of civilization. The story follows Dianna, a young woman who ventures into the forests near her home against the warnings of the other villagers, and becomes afflicted with the curse of lycanthropy by “demon wolves” that stalk the woods. Forced to hide her newfound form during every full moon, Dianna lives a double life. However, this all changes when she transforms during an attack on the village. Now held captive, Dianna finds herself without any friends to call upon and in dire need of escape.
by John Larison
A stoic sharpshooter in an untamed country races against a bloodthirsty militia to find her outlaw brother, all while struggling with the loss of her family. These are the central threads of Larison’s modern offering to the Western mythos, “Whisky When We’re Dry.” It’s a tale that explores the darker ramifications of the culture that “won the West,” told from the perspective of a seventeen-year-old girl by the name of Jessilyn Harney. As Jessilyn treks westward to track down the only family she has left, she’s forced to assume the identity of a man while working alongside unsavory peers. With his literary prowess, Larison spins a yarn of great violence, adversity, and true grit more than capable of engrossing its readers.
The Pioneer, by Bridget Tyler
A fast-paced tale of high stakes and family tragedy within a sci-fi frame, “The Pioneer” is the story of Jo Watson, a young girl whose family has just set foot on the Eden-like planet that is to become their new home. While determined to let go of her tragic past and begin anew, she stumbles upon a “secret that could destroy everything her family has worked for,” and is forced to choose between keeping her family safe or exposing the truth in order to preserve the fate of the pioneers.
Taking sci-fi in a different direction, this YA novel by Rosiee Thor explores themes of found family, queerness, and diversity, all while supplying plenty of fast-paced action and heartwarming character development. The story follows three protagonists, brought together by what seem to be contradictory goals: Anna Thatcher, a mechanic with an illegal clockwork heart who breaks the dystopian laws of the Commissioner in order to supply medical technology to the sick and dying; Nathaniel Fremont, the Commissioner’s son, who intends to capture Anna in order to earn the approval of his father; and Eliza, an assassin and spy dead set on learning the Commissioner’s secrets.
Fables and Futures: Biotechnology, Disability, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves,
by George Estreich
Rarely has any writer so elegantly transposed
This book is geared toward younger readers. It follows a pair of children, Ricky and Ellie, who travel to Portland on a weekend school exchange. While there, the children explore many of the natural habitats around the area, from city gardens to outskirt woodlands, developing an appreciation for the surprising amount of wildlife that has been incorporated into the city. Over the course of their adventures, the children are even able to contribute information to regional databases.
Any trip to a Corvallis Farmers’ Market makes plain the love that our community holds for its local farmers. Whether read with intentions of starting up one’s own farm, or simply with the desire to gain a better understanding of this integral part of Corvallis’ community, Stephenson’s work offers a comprehensive guide on the various aspects of farm life. From infrastructure, to budgeting, to agricultural sustainability, this book is a smooth and clear-cut guide to farm management.

The Sworn Financial Statement (SFS) made easy (sort of)
The Sworn Financial Statement (SFS) is an extremely important document in a dissolution of marriage proceeding. We cannot divide the marital estate until we know what the marital estate is, including your income, your assets and your debt. The rules require you to make full, honest and accurate disclosures, with severe penalties for failing to do so.
It looks harder than it is. In general, you have to take a financial snapshot of your life at that time. And nobody trusts you in divorce, which means that you have to provide supporting documentation for bills, etc.? ?
It is not meant to be perfect, although it should be accurate. People often exaggerate their expenses, but judges know they do, and good lawyers know where to look. It is far better to be accurate and as honest as you can be.
What about accurately valuing property? For most of the items we own, we don’t know what they are worth. A realtor can likely give you comparable prices based on houses in your area that have sold recently. Furniture, fixtures, and other household goods are valued as though you had to sell them today, at a garage sale or on Craigslist, not on the new purchase price. Cars are easy, because of the Kelly and NADA blue books. But many items must be valued as "unknown" because we don’t have an accurate figure. Guess too high, and you will stuck with the value. Guess too low and you look like you have stretched the truth.
With your SFS, you’re required to produce supporting documentation. People agonize over this, but it’s not hard. If you can get it, or you have it, you have to provide it. It’s easier and cheaper to do so than fight it. If your spouse has it, then just say that. Again, remember that the courts want you to err on the side of over-disclosing. At best, preparing your SFS is a painful, annoying, event.? But it is mandatory so you might as well do it right, and be accurate, rather than add to your pain by having the errors and omissions exposed at trial.

Tiger Woods sent a buzz throughout the sports world and turned the clock back when he briefly led the British Open on Sunday, but a double bogey-bogey stretch on the back nine ultimately doomed his quest for major number 15. In the end, he shot 71 to post five under and finish three shots behind playing partner Francesco Molinari, who posted a bogey-free 69 to win by two over Xander Schauffele, Kevin Kisner, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy.
Woods started his round four shots behind a trio at nine under—Jordan Spieth, Xander Schauffele and Kevin Kisner—but 20+ mph winds meant anything could happen in the most difficult conditions of the week. He started the round exactly how he needed to, with three pars followed by birdies at 4 and 6 to get to seven under. While Woods was getting off to a hot start, his fellow competitors were going the opposite direction. Spieth made a double-bogey 7 on the par-5 6th, while Kisner was three over through 4 and played 5-7 in four over to fall out of contention.
The 14-time major champion got into a bit of trouble by finding greenside bunkers on both the 8th and 9th holes, but he was able to get up and down both times to preserve momentum. He hit what appeared to be a round-defining—or tournament-defining or comeback-defining—shot on 10 after hitting 3-wood into a fairway bunker. Instead of pitching out and playing for par, he went ultra-aggressive and took a massive hack with a pitching wedge. The ball cleared the lip by a solid margin and finished near the front of the green, leading to an easy par.
It was then that Woods led by himself for a brief period, and it was the first time his name was atop the leaderboard on Sunday at a major since the 2011 Masters.
That surreal scenario turned out to be short-lived, as trouble presented itself again on 12 after his second shot bounded left and got a fortunate break by hitting a spectator and careening closer to the green. Like 11, he decided to go aggressive, attempting a high-risk flop shot over a bunker instead of playing safely past the pin and taking double bogey out of play. The flop didn’t reach the green, and he needed three putts from just off the putting surface and in the end, it was his first double bogey of the week.
"I did everything the way I thought I needed to do it to win the championship," Woods said of his aggressive decisions down the stretch. "There were a bunch of guys with a chance to win, and I was one of them.''
By that point, he had fallen one behind a swelling group of players bunched at six under, and that is the shot he will rue when looking back on a day that looked so unlikely just nine months ago.
Woods made another bogey after a wayward drive at the difficult 12th to fall two back, setting up an almost must-eagle scenario at the gettable par-5 14th if he was to have a realistic chance to win. He pulled his driver well left there and found hardpan but still had a relatively clean look at the green with a 9-iron. His second shot came into the green with no spin and kicked hard, racing well past the desired 14th hole and finishing closer to the 4th hole on the double-green complex, about 50 yards from the flag. He pitched from there but left it about 30 feet short, and at that point his electric comeback appeared to be all but over…but then he rammed it in to cut his deficit to one momentarily. Woods’s playing partner, Francesco Molinari, then ended his streak of 13 pars in a row with a birdie on 14 to take the lead at seven under and move two ahead of Tiger.
Solid pars on 15 and 16 meant Woods came to the penultimate hole two behind his Molinari and one behind Rory McIlory and Justin Rose, who shot 64-69 on the weekend to post six under after making the cut on the number. Woods got up-and-down for par on 17 after his approach spun into the wind, ballooned and fell woefully short.
In a bizarre moment on the 18th tee, a fan screamed right in the middle of Woods's backswing, but his drive still found the first cut on the right side. He hit a flighted wedge that ran out to six feet but missed the birdie effort on the low side. It is Woods's best finish in a major since the 2013 Open, and certainly another positive step in this comeback from the deepest depths.
"It was a blast,'' Woods said of his first time contending in a major in five years. "I was saying earlier that I need to try and keep it in perspective because the beginning of the year, if they'd have said you're playing The Open Championship, I would have said I'd be very lucky to do that.

that one day I will discover
that the world as I have coveted it
is there for the taking and always has been

which refused to see what it now sees
and drowns itself in for the sake of my redemption.

“REALizer,” a new tool from California brokerage and tech firm Tumlis Inc. that helps agents give their clients a better understanding of the market conditions surrounding a specific home at the neighborhood level, has launched in four California markets.
Tumlis, which launched as a brokerage that provides free lead generation and customer relationship management services to agents in March, is initially releasing the tool in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and the North San Francisco Bay Area with plans to expand nationwide.
REALizer will help agents shed light on how to price specific homes for sellers and where their value lies for buyers, Tumlis founder and CEO Tom Horvath told Inman News.
Horvath, who has worked as a residential and commercial broker in the San Francisco Bay Area for 35 years, wanted to figure out how to price homes and judge their market worth on a mass basis at a low cost. So he came up with Tumlis.
REALizer will help agents determine:
- The value of a home.
- How soon a buyer or seller should take action.
- How long a property will remain on the market at the current asking price.
- How the price of a home influences its days on market.
- Whether a neighborhood be hot or not in the future.
To accurately gauge a home’s worth, a platform needs relevant comparable properties, Horvath said. Using data like prices of recently sold homes and asking prices from multiple listing services and other data sources, REALizer does just that with some help from an agent.
Agents rate a target property’s location and views, the condition of its interior and the state of its exterior on a four-tier scale for each attribute.
Along with that qualitative info, agents enter in the type of home (whether condo or single-family, for example), how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has, and its square footage.
With that info, the REALizer engine compares the home with a minimum of four to five other comparable homes in the neighborhood to generate a snapshot of the average asking and sold prices of similar homes. It also shows how many similar properties are currently for sale and their average days on market.
The platform also allows agents to sit down with their clients and give them a statistical analysis of where a specific home fits into the market and how aggressively they should be pricing it, whether they’re a buyer or a seller, Horvath said.
By using a slider bar within the tool, agents can fine tune their qualitative assessment of a home, which influences the average asking price, estimated sold price and days on market Tumlis spits out for the home in question.
Each estimate comes with a four-star confidence rating that’s set depending on how confident the model is in the quality of the comps the model has available to it.
The new predictive analytics tool also provides chart-based visualizations for several indices for the year previous for comparable homes including price changes, market activity levels and inventory levels. Tumlis also provides a prediction of where each index is headed over the next several months.
Tumlis uses inventory as a predictor of velocity and velocity as a predictor of price, said Chris Butler, Tumlis’ chief operating officer.
REALizer incorporates several algorithms based on those three building blocks of a market’s status to asses the value of a home, Butler said.
The outcome is what Horvath calls “the crown jewel” of REALizer: the buyer and seller insights that the analytics engine provides for each property entered into the platform.
The insights provide info about the home’s market status, where Tumlis expects the market to go in relation to the home and those comparable to it, and a recommendation to a buyer or seller who wants to take action soon regardless of the market conditions.
What’s the difference between REALizer and the multitude of automatic home valuation and comparable market analysis tools out there?
As for AVMs, REALizer provides estimates for asking price, selling price and days on market for the total set of comparable homes the model picks out not just one, Horvath said.
Tumlis’ platform differs from CMAs in that it includes all relevant comparable homes that the tool’s algorithm picks out and doesn’t cherry pick some homes and neglect others that may have an important bearing on the market condition of a home, Horvath said.
Horvath says REALizer will soon benefit from the implementation of historic models with data it has dating back 20 years that will help it fine tune the tool’s accuracy.
“That’s where you get a real predictive model,” Horvath said.
In addition, Tumlis is working to pick out and display the specific attributes of a property that drive the predictive estimates for a home’s sold price and days on market, Horvath said.
In the coming weeks, REALizer will also begin providing insights for agents based on horizons of 30, 60 and 90 days, Butler said.
Tumlis uses its search platform and free agent lead-gen and CRM services to gather info to help tune REALizer, Butler said.
Tumlis will work as a brokerage in each of the markets it’s active in, Horvath said, but it will represent buy-side investors only.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated with comments from Tumlis CEO Tom Horvath describing how REALizer differs from automatic valuation models and comparative market analyses.

Owner Caleb Meyer (left) and gallery manager Stephanie Richards. by Jeremy Jones I recently witnessed a conversation between two women during an opening reception at the Carla Massoni Gallery in …
by Jeremy Jones
I recently witnessed a conversation between two women during an opening reception at the Carla Massoni Gallery in Chestertown, Md.. It was a moment that would make Chestnut Hill proud.
“Excuse me, but I love your ring,” said one woman to another. “Is that a Caleb Meyer?”
“Yes, yes it is,” the other woman replied. “My husband had it made for me for our 25th wedding anniversary.”
I had the pleasure of “introducing” Caleb Meyer to the community in a story for the Local when he first opened his shop at 8127 Germantown Ave. It was 1994, and the talented, ambitious young artisan was only 28 years-old.
Now, I have the honor of presenting Caleb Meyer and his handcrafted platinum and gold jewelry as the quintessence of what our Shop Local column is all about: highlighting an enterprise that features services or items exclusive to Chestnut Hill.
The exchange between the two women at Massoni Gallery reveals what it means to be an artist with a signature look. It is a rare accomplishment.
Logos, labels and initials are potent marketing tools, but would you be able to recognize many of today’s hot designers’ work without those prompts? Signature designs are born of a very select few, such as Coco Channel, Steuben, Tiffany, Harry Winston and Bulgari. Caleb Meyer is on his way to achieving equal regard.
Originally from Williamsport, Pa., and a graduate of Haverford College, Meyer learned his trade and his appreciation for American Craft from his father James Meyer, a nationally acclaimed jewelry artist, and his mother Anne, an equally accomplished potter.
Meyer apprenticed in his father’s shop where he mastered complex fabrication and forging techniques. It was during this apprenticeship that he realized goldsmithing allowed him to combine his love of creative design with his respect for skillful and meticulous technique.
“I think making jewelry has two different components: craftsmanship – how things are built, how they go together, what they are made of,” Meyer said, “and composition – the different aspects of the design of a piece, like visual balance, strength of composition, bold versus delicate, and finding the right design for the materials you’re working with.
“I have natural aptitude as a craftsman. It’s not ever just something that you do – it’s something that you understand, but becoming a designer and developing a trademark look takes a long time.”
The design vocabulary of that trademark look is first articulated by a uniquely delicate and fine bezel set – most bezel settings are heavy and inelegant. Additionally, Meyer’s design protects the stone and makes it more durable and more comfortable to wear.
Meyer is also known for his signature “platform setting,” used primarily for engagement rings, so the ring and the wedding band sit and fit together seamlessly.
Another element of the Meyer trademark-look is the asymmetrical presence of natural motifs of leaves and curls. His passionate play with asymmetry draws the observer in to take a closer look, and makes for a rewarding aha moment.
“Even though a lot of my work is asymmetrical, I want it to be balanced,” said Meyer. “It is a challenge that I love.”
The icing atop Meyer’s most breathtaking designs is the presence of antique-cut diamonds ordained by generations of history and culled from the finest sources.
“I love them, I love their light performance, I love the way they look in our jewelry,” Meyer said.
Each custom-designed piece has a hallmark bearing “CM,” and all of the jewelry is stamped with “CMS.”
The studio, now located at 8520 Germantown Ave., thrives on the open network between gallery and workshop.
“The connection between the workshop and the gallery is what makes our store unique because the customer has access to the actual craftsmen,” Meyer said.
The gallery is a symphony of fine American Craft. Handmade grace notes in woodwork, glass, sterling silver and pottery echo the voice of Wharton Esherick and the robust spirit of the American Craft movement.
“I want people to use and appreciate handmade items in their everyday life because I think it is enriching and rewarding,” Meyer said. “Being in the presence of beautiful things leads to contemplation and peace.”
Gallery manager Stephanie Richards is a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, with an eye for impeccable craftsmanship and superior design. She has been with Caleb Meyer Studio for 11 years, and was introduced to American Craft when she worked for Meyer’s father in his Williamsport studio, prior to moving to Philadelphia.
Meyer lives in Mt. Airy with his wife, Tina Diaz, an attorney, and their three children. The eldest will enter Stanford University this fall.
“What drives me most,” said Meyer about his work, “is enjoying people’s connection to beauty, to things they wear all the time. And that moment when you present a finished piece to a customer – it is a joy to watch them put it on. Their vision is realized and so is ours. It’s what keeps me going.”


All along it was expected a Rick would win the Louisiana primary.
The expectation early on was that the Rick in question would be Perry, since he was the governor of next-door Texas and had the endorsement of Gov. Bobby Jindal. But of course Perry’s campaign flamed out before the South Carolina primary, and at that point Louisiana became, for a time, wide open.
And as things played out Louisiana became an important primary for the first time in modern memory.
It is a consequential primary, for certain. It’s consequential because it finishes Newt Gingrich as a serious contender for the presidency.
Gingrich pulled out all the stops in an effort to win Louisiana, crisscrossing the state and getting good crowds. But with 66 percent reporting, he’s got just 16 percent of the vote and he’s a poor third behind Santorum’s 49 percent and Mitt Romney’s 26.
Gingrich no longer has a path to the nomination. Going forward it appears possible that he might not even affect the dynamics of the primary race and it won’t even matter whether he stays in or gets out.
The real question coming out of these results is whether Santorum’s win in Louisiana has any real importance on a national scale. He’s going to have to win in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania – he’s an underdog in Wisconsin and the favorite in his home state, and then it might set up Texas as the real showdown.
Santorum’s unfortunate quote about how the country might be better off with a second term of Obama than a first term of Romney, and his rather clunky walking-back of that quote didn’t affect him here. Nationally, the guess is he did himself some damage. And with a very small window of opportunity for him to beat Romney, he can’t afford to make statements that might alienate Republicans.
For example, even in Louisiana where Santorum won today exit polls show that Romney gets a strong plurality on the question of who’d be the strongest candidate against Barack Obama this fall. He seems to have closed the deal with conservatives as the standard-bearer in the party, and that makes him the Last Non-Romney Standing.
But it’s questionable, even with tonight’s big win, whether that will be enough.

The Black Death vividly and comprehensively brings to light the full horror of this uniquely catastrophic event that hastened the disintegration of an age.
A series of natural disasters in the Orient during the fourteenth century brought about the most devastating period of death and destruction in European history. The epidemic killed one-third of Europe's people over a period of three years, and the resulting social and economic upheaval was on a scale unparalleled in all of recorded history. Synthesizing the records of contemporary chroniclers and the work of later historians, Philip Ziegler offers a critically acclaimed overview of this crucial epoch in a single masterly volume.

The month of August brings not only the incredible heat of summer but also two important dates in the liturgical calendar: The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Memorial of the Martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist. Arguments could surely be made to link these two events theologically, however for the sake of this column we look to the Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio (1571-1610).
The struggle of genius sometimes takes form in chaotic lifestyles and troubled existences. Such was the case with Caravaggio. Plagued with an inability to lead a stable life coupled with a penchant for drinking and violent altercations, Caravaggio’s genius was always under the threat of his frivolous actions. His incredibly important patrons and momentous commissions however have afforded him the very worthy descriptor of one of the major influences to Baroque style painting. A perfect storm of his daring, risky behavior, and the Roman Catholic Church during Counter Reformation led to an onslaught of artistic commissions thusly gifting history with some of the greatest masterpieces ever conceived in art.
Caravaggio’s style was a blend of naturalism with a dramatic use of chiaroscuro, or “dark fading into light.” This sharp contrast lacked intermediate value as it shifted from dark to light, the results of which are breathtaking, unique portrayals of some of the most significant scenes from the Bible.
After gaining notable praise for his paintings Martyrdom of Saint Matthew and The Calling of Saint Matthew, Caravaggio’s commissions began to increase at an incredible rate. This success led to more trouble personally as well as an increased bravado which encouraged him to take bold risks in his artistic interpretation. One such instance of this heightened, brazen interpretation was with his painting, Death of a Virgin in which he depicted the Virgin Mary in death in human form, before her Assumption, rather than death and Assumption occurring simultaneously. This resulted in its removal just two days after its installation adorning its intended altar. Other famous works of Caravaggio during this period included The Crucifixion of Peter, St. Jerome, Judith Beheading Holofernes, and The Seven Works of Mercy.
It would be later in his career that he would paint one of his most notable works, which to our great benefit, resides in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. His painting John the Baptist (John in the Wilderness), 1604, is a haunting masterpiece of a biblical figure that Caravaggio visited artistically many times throughout his career. This infamous work possesses a “lunar-like” lighting, with dry, dead foliage, devoid of religious descriptors such as a halo, sheep, etc. The only indication of its religious nature is a thin cross made of a brown reed depicting Christ’s description of John as a “reed shaken by the wind.” John is seated, deep in thought, seemingly conflicted yet with a childlike quality implying a gentle innocence to his disposition. He is covered in a brilliant red robe that must be observed in person to truly appreciate its beauty.
Every time I have seen this painting at the Nelson I find myself captivated by its incredible ability to almost force induce a reflection to the person viewing it. It truly lends itself to the often described “magnetic quality” of John the Baptist.
Amid his construction of such masterpieces Caravaggio’s personal life continued to create drama as well. At yet another of his many violent altercations Caravaggio killed a man. This act would continue to haunt him for the rest of his life as he would flee from one place to another, dodging attempts on his life. After one attempt not only mistakenly pronounced him dead, but left his face disfigured, Caravaggio painted four more masterpieces including The Denial of Peter, The Martyrdom of Saint Ursula, Salome with the head of John the Baptist (where he depicted his own head atop the silver platter), and David with the Head of Goliath. Caravaggio would send the last two to Cardinal Scipione Bhorgese, nephew of Pope Paul V, as a sign of remorse in order to plea for a Papal pardon, thusly guaranteeing some peace from constant threats. While in route to be granted said pardon word reached the Pope that Caravaggio had died from a fever. Controversies swirled around his death with theories that he was poisoned topping the list. Recent investigations discovered high levels of lead in his bones, indicating that it may have very well been his medium that eventually killed him. Oil paints at that time contained high amounts of lead. It seems as though we will never officially know.
Despite these theories, the troubled life of Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio gave many precious gifts to the sacred canon of artworks, as his unique style gives us dramatic, strikingly beautiful works that will forever depict the ways in which we visualize some of the most notable subjects of the Bible. Caravaggio received a well-deserved resurgence in popularity in the 20th century recognizing his undeniable influence and contributions to the world of art. One small part of his indelible stamp hangs in our city’s beloved art museum for us to enjoy, reflect, and admire as we continue to remember the life of John the Baptist, specifically his martyrdom in August.

The CDCR said prisons are urged to follow normal release protocol if the credits move up a release date for an inmate.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced (CDCR) announced new programs that will allow for the early release of up to 8,000 inmates by the end of August to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 as outbreaks continue to flare up across the state prison system.
"These actions are taken to provide for the health and safety of the incarcerated population and staff," Ralph Diaz, Secretary for the CDCR, said in a press release on Friday. "We aim to implement these decompression measures in a way that aligns both public health and public safety."
Incarcerated people who have 180 days or less left on their sentence, are a low risk for violence, and are not serving time for a violent crime will be the first group of inmates eligible for early release.
The department said 4,800 inmates could be released by the end of July.
Inmates who have less than a year left on their sentence and have not committed a violent crime could also be eligible for release by the end of August if they're in one of the following state prisons: San Quentin State Prison, Central California Women's Facility, California Health Care Facility, California Institution for Men, California Institution for Women, California Medical Facility, Folsom State Prison and Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.
The CDCR will also implement a one-time Positive Programming Credit (PPC) award which will provide 12 weeks of credit to inmates who have "provided exceptional assistance in maintaining the safety and security of a prison" during the outbreak of COVID-19. Inmates who have been found guilty of serious Rules Violation Report between March 1 and July 5 will not receive the credit. Time credits will be applied by August 1.
Prisoners who are also deemed to have "high-risk" medical conditions will also be eligible for early release.
The department said all inmates will be tested for the virus within seven days of their release.
Officials are working with lawmakers and other agencies to help reintroduce the released people into society.
Officials say those who are currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole, or have been "condemned" with a death sentence will not be eligible for a reduced sentence.
The CDCR said prisons are urged to follow normal release protocol if the credits move up a release date for an inmate, including making notifications to the victims of the individuals.
This all comes amid a grim situation at San Quentin State Prison, where seven inmates have died from COVID-19, and more than 1,300 others have tested positive for the virus along with 200 staff members.
The early release will include inmates who were scheduled to be freed soon and those with health risks. To qualify inmates must:
Miriam Krinsky, Founder and Executive Director Fair and Just Prosecution, says that's a start but not enough.
"The longer we wait and allow this ticking time bomb to continue, the longer we endanger people behind those prison walls and individuals who work there," she said.
Those 30-years-old and older will be prioritized.
"Thousands of people are in prison that are over the age of 50 and have been there languishing with these long sentences that had nothing to do with public safety," said Jay Jordan, executive director of Californians for Safety and Justice.
Jordan urges the state to invest in reintegration programs.
"We need to say 'hey no more of 50 billion dollars a year, we are not going to allow adding to this trillion dollar spending spree that California has been on in terms of the justice system.' We need real solutions, we need to invest in things that stop crime," said Jordan.

The media tried to sell the Biden/Harris package as some kind of dream team. They were the anti-Trump/Pence solution to a presidency “hated” by America. They were the light in the darkness, the dynamic duo to “save” the country.
Wow, were they full of hot air.
We all know how Biden is crashing and burning. But his former enemy-turned-vice president is certainly not helping. In fact, she has done little to assist or support the administration from day one. She was given several jobs; none of which worked out. Now, a new report is suggesting she is trying to distance herself from Biden, as he crashes and burns.
Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly distanced herself from President Joe Biden, reducing the number of public appearances together since February.
For instance, the Daily Mail reported Harris held 18 public appearances with Biden in February…
Fast forward to October, Harris has thus far reduced her public appearances with Biden to one…
Harris’ public events with Biden have slowly been dropping since February. The following are the number of public events Harris has held with Biden since January, according to the Daily Mail:
- January – 9
- February – 18
- March – 13
- April – 10
- May – 5
- June – 5
- July – 8
- August – 5
- September – 1
- October – 1 [Source: Breitbart]
Ugg, that can’t be a coincidence. Biden tapped Harris to “fix” the border crisis back in the Spring. She did nothing, not even visiting the border she was supposed to be fixing. She did, though, travel around the world to visit government leaders.
During the Afghanistan crisis, she was practically MIA. She did not support or back the president, even as he was flailing in the water. That was probably because she previously boasted about supporting his half-baked plan to pull our troops.
Not that Harris would be able to do much by Biden’s side. She was one of the least effective members of the Senate. During the Democratic primary, she only received 2% support. Her most recent “contribution” to the administration—a video with kids about careers in space—was panned for hiring child actors instead of real students.
When on camera, Harris is clumsy, uninspiring, and downright foolish. She is best known for her nervous cackle, when asked tough questions. Her awkward laugh only makes her appear callous and disconnected from the struggles of real Americans.
Biden picked her because of her race and gender. But she is perhaps the worst representative for American women and people of color. And now, she is abandoning Biden when she could be helping. Perhaps she is more concerned with her future political prospects.
Sorry, Kamala, you hitched your wagon to Biden’s star. And you’ll go down with him.

No, they weren't giving away free samples at The Fresh Market on Camino Real the evening of Aug. 30.
The big crowd at the door was people coming to the annual Wine Gala the market has to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Some 250 people attended, a bigger crowd than expected, said Esther Swann, special events coordinator for the Greater Palm Beach County chapter.
"Our store holds a lot of people, so I never put a limit on this," said general manager Steve DiMaggio.
"Last year it was in Wellington, and people were upset," so they brought it back to this location, Swann said.
Once people were inside, the supermarket was closed for the rest of the night. Parents of children who have diabetes, chapter patrons such as board member Todd Hoffman, and members of the general public wandered among 10 tables. Premier Beverages served up sips of everything from $74.99 a bottle Brunello to Petit Sirahs going for $12.99.
This was heaven for Bonnie Sharpe, a volunteer for the chapter and a freelance sommelier, who was happy to give off-the-cuff wine reviews. Finger food and a carving station were among the eats. Major sponsors were The Fresh Market, A-Christian Glass & Mirror and First Southern Bank.
This isn't the only event the stores do for Juvenile Diabetes. The Fresh Markets in Boca, West Boca and Wellington are having a sidewalk food sale this weekend. The times are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday and they're serving up hot dogs, hamburgers, root beer floats and other picnic-style food.
The 17th annual sale with 100 percent of the proceedings going to JDRF is a national effort at all 107 locations, DiMaggio said.

10 august 2021 Impressive "Norma" In The Heart Of Strandzha
The last festival evening of the large-scale cultural forum "Opera of the Sanctuary" / August 6-8 /, organized by the State Opera - Burgas and Primorsko Municipality, put the code not only for a successful event in the heart of the mystical mountain Strandzha. The three-day festival was the apotheosis of the influential power of art, which, even presented in unusual conditions, is the most direct path to the Divine beginning. In such a sacred place, bearing the legends inscribed in every monolithic stone block, every tree, forest, star dome, all the magical reality of Nature, Vincenzo Bellini's white cant masterpiece "Norma" was perhaps the most impressive opera title presented among the natural decor of the Thracian sanctuary.
There was no weak component in the show, which tonight unfolded its ideological and artistic charge in the most beautiful, influential, and at the same time professionally padded way.
The legend of the Druids, the clash between duty and love, for honor beyond imagination, for the power of heart commands, for the symbolism and energy charge of self-sacrifice, was told through the means of musical-theatrical art in an incomparable and unique way.
All artists and musicians were completely merged with the overall conceptual concept of the directing adapted to natural conditions by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alexander Tekeliev / assistant directors - Lina Peeva and Petar Tiholov /. Soloists, orchestra / under the inspired baton of maestro Ivaylo Krinchev, concertmaster - Yordan Kovachev /, choir/conductor Nevena Mihaylova /, ballet/цchoreaography - Galina Kalcheva/ were merged in a spirit of unity with the messages of Bellini's magnificent music.
Extremely influential were: soprano Joanna Zhelezcheva - irresistible as the Gallic priestess Norma, who performs an emotional feat, mezzo-soprano Daniela Dyakova - arousing admiration in the construction of the dramatic image of Adaldjiza, dedicated to the faith, but chose the dictates of the heart, tenor Valeriy Georgiev stable as the Roman proconsul Polione, the bass Delyan Slavov - respectful and dignified in the image of the Gallic high priest Oroveso, the mezzo-soprano Kalina Popova - with a strong debut in the role of Clotilde, the tenor Lubomir Todorov - as Flavio, close to Polione.
Magnificent choir - balanced in sound and with a memorable artistic presence, beautifully sounding orchestra, stylish ballet, excellent technical support / all specialists "behind the scenes" from the technical services deserve admiration /, understanding, intelligent and excited large audience - all components of quality and an exciting spectacle in a magical place were available on Sunday night, August 8th.
