From a psychological perspective, character refers to how a person is, that is, we understand character as a set of traits that define the person as they are. In addition, it should be noted that personality is formed by the character and temperament of people.
Some authors affirm that the character can be modified throughout the life of the person, according to their experiences in relation to education, the environment, health, life experiences, among others.
Then, in this article: 11 types of character of a person, I will focus on explaining eleven different characters with the traits that can define a person.
1. Phlegmatic character
The first of the character types of a person is the phlegmatic character. People with a phlegmatic character tend to be very patient, a fact that leads them to be persevering and methodical when they want to achieve what they set out to do and, furthermore, they are indifferent to the possible difficulties that may arise.
However, these people have difficulties in making decisions since, although their opinions are independent, they tend to worry about the consequences of their actions that may appear in the long term.
There are other aspects that characterize people with a phlegmatic character, such as the fact that they are calm, controlled, introspective, very intelligent, open-minded people who care about their principles, among others.
2. Choleric character
People with choleric character are defined by a great facility to adapt to changes, they are usually in a good mood, although they can get angry quickly.
They are people with great intelligence and courage. Due to their ease in adapting to new situations, people with a choleric character are usually people who like changes, so they like to be active and go in search of new sensations.
For this reason they are not usually very patient or disciplined people, since they have a need for change that prevents or makes it difficult, this being the negative point of people with a choleric character.
These are people who often tend to exaggerate what happens to them, letting themselves be carried away by their impulses. In addition, this character characterizes people as impulsive, extroverted, active, innovative, excitable and talkative.
3. Serguine character
The third of the character types of a person is the sanguine character. People who are defined by a sanguine character are characterized by being calm and brave, although they also tend to be selfish, distrustful and cynical.
In addition, they are very practical people who are passionate about both work and money. They are also used to being good at abstract thinking, but on the contrary, they are not interested in deep conversations, but have a great preference for practical things and the present.(here and now).
People with a sanguine character tend to relate easily to other people, and also tend to have a great ability to understand difficult and complicated situations.
Finally, it should be noted that these are very liberal people in terms of their political ideology.
4. Apathetic character
People who have an apathetic character are usually people with a lack of interests and ideas. They also have difficulties relating to other people.
They are melancholic, closed, stubborn, passive, indifferent, lazy, difficult to get to know people, and they like routines. As for the emotions that apathetic people usually feel, they are generally negative and persistent emotions, that is, they last constantly over time.
However, people with an apathetic character are fine in solitude, therefore, their difficulties in relating to others are not a problem since they do not need the company of others to feel good and be happy.
5. Passionate character
People with a passionate character are more cautious than those with a choleric character, although they also tend to like movement and activity.
People with a passionate character are characterized by being aggressive, determined and giving great importance to honor, loyalty and/or objectivity.
People of passionate character tend to like order and tend to be politically conservative. These are people who tend to value traditions in great measure and usually show altruistic behavior with those people who are subjugated under their power.
6. Sentimental character
The sixth of the character types of a person is the sentimental character. As their name suggests, people with a sentimental character are characterized by the constant presence of a very strong sentimental and emotional component.
They tend to feel very powerful and strong but persistent emotions, whether negative or positive. Thus, these people tend to be observant, subjective, retrospective, obsessive, stubborn, idealistic and romantic.
In addition, they often have difficulties accepting changes and, generally, they are not comfortable with themselves.
7. Nervous character
People with a nervous character are people who tend to feel very strongly and powerfully everything that happens to them. They are very energetic, impulsive, playful, touchy, messy, undisciplined, and frivolous people.
People with this type of character tend to have difficulty making decisions, lose interest in anything easily and quickly, and often seek adventures and new experiences. Nervous people change their mood easily and tend to exaggerate everything that happens to them.
8. Amorphous character
The eighth of the character types of a person is the amorphous character. People with an amorphous character are mainly characterized by being lazy, messy, clumsy, calm, conformist, impressionable, they avoid efforts and tend to postpone the things they have to do for later ("I'll do it later", "I'd better leave it for tomorrow", etc.).
People with this type of character do not pay attention to the consequences they may have in the future, they only live in the present and, therefore, do not give much importance to the consequences of their actions, and they do what is fair and necessary to be able to live day-to-day trying to satisfy basic needs, such as eating and sleeping.
9. Insecure character
People with the insecure character type are usually people who have difficulties carrying out their actions, as their name says, they have personal and emotional insecurity and doubt their actions, whether they are correct or not, whether they will have negative consequences, among others.
There are different aspects that can characterize people who have an insecure character: people with this type of character have a great lack of self-confidence, they avoid breaking with routine and getting to know new things and situations.
They experience continuous problems in their personal relationships: reference is usually made to jealousy, mistrust, among others. This fact, on many occasions, leads to a low self-esteem of the person with an insecure character.
In people with this type of character, their thoughts are usually negative, they see the bad side of everything.
10. Obsessive character
The obsessive character is typical of people who usually perform many rituals and routines in order to reduce the anxiety that this would cause if those routines were not carried out.
They are usually characterized by being people who tend to worry too much about day-to-day problems and situations, they think about everything a lot (conversations, images, thoughts, situations...), to the point of not being able to control or stop these constant thoughts. That make me not stop thinking about things.
On some occasions, all this leads to a negative effect on the mood and behavior of people with this type of character. People with an obsessive character are usually perfectionists, maniacs, orderly, with an extreme need to clean both the things around them and their own body, among others.
However, it is important not to confuse obsessiveness with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
11. Sensitive character
Sensitive people tend to be very sensitive and with a high degree of sensitivity. Sensitive people have difficulty making decisions, they are affected by some strong sounds or smells, they show sensitivity to criticism what other people can do to them.
For this reason, others tend to tell them things in a softer and more tactful way, to prevent it from affecting them too much.
Other characteristics of sensitive people are having too much empathy, they are often very affected by other people's problems. They also prefer to work as a team, but without having to make the final decisions.
Finally, people with this character type show fear of risks. That is, they have a preference for not breaking with their daily situations and routines and not looking for new sensations and experiences.

Island Health is relocating the Covid vaccination clinic at the Aggie Hall in Ladysmith, due to the heatwave and a lack of air conditioning.
This site relocation will be affecting those with appointments on June 25, 26 and July 1, 2, and 3.
Island Health says the appointment date and time for those affected won’t change, they will just need to head 12km away to the Cedar Community Centre in Nanaimo for their jab.
Island Health says that those affected will be contacted about the change of location.
According to the Ladysmith Historical Society, the building was built in 1922 in seven weeks for around 35-hundred dollars, but air conditioning didn’t make the cut of features included.
The building has housed a Covid vaccination clinic since March 15, and they have permission to use it as such until September 15 of this year.
Island Health is also reminding those looking for their first dose, that walk-ins are accepted at the Cedar Community Centre, or other Island Health immunization clinics.

Just Mortgages’ self-employed division is now made up of more than 300 brokers.
The self-employed division is aimed at brokers who are looking for the independence that comes from being self-employed but value the support they get from being employed.
It was established in June 2016, with just three brokers and by December 2017 there were 81 advisers in the division. By September 2019 this had grown to over 200.
Carl Parker (pictured), national director of Just Mortgages self-employed division, said: “Brokers benefit from a dedicated sales manager to support them, and all the backup they need. When something like Covid-19 hits, the knowledge that they are part of something bigger is something that our brokers have particularly valued.
“At the same time, brokers are self-employed and have the freedom to take their business in whatever direction they want to achieve their own goals.
“Unlike other networks with self-employed arms, we don’t charge a monthly fee: we earn when brokers earn, so it’s in our interests to help them succeed.”

Shout! Factory has got the rights to the classic hit 80s sitcom Alf. This hilarious and amazing series ran on NBC from 1986 to 1990. That series also turned into an animated series.
Shout! Factory has also partnered with Alien Productions on the deal and the goal is to bring the Alf titles to digital entertainment platforms in the U.S. That contains the 102 episodes of the live-action series, the 26 episodes of ALF: The Animated Series, 21 episodes of the animated ALF Tales, and the TV movie Project: ALF.
Alf was created by Tom Patchett, and the story is about Gordon Shumway, a furry, wise-cracking alien from the planet Melmac who crash lands into the garage of the Tanner family. The Tanners give him a home and give him the nickname ALF, short for “Alien Life Form.”
It’s also said that the companies plan to create“new ALF-related content and launch digital media initiatives and domestic syndication in streaming, electronic sell-through and video on demand.” I’m not sure what that new content will be. It’s just explained that “Shout! Factory will leverage what it calls ‘unparalleled access’ to archived content and the original broadcast masters from Alien Productions in mounting an ‘aggressive rollout’ of pop-culture content related to ALF later this year.”
Jeffrey Peisch, Shout’s EVP of strategy and digital and SVP of programming and new business development, said in a statement, “I couldn’t be more excited that Shout! Factory will be marketing and distributing ALF and working with the series’ creators, Paul Fusco and Tom Patchett. ALF was an instant classic when it debuted on network television over 30 years ago, and the series stands the test of time and appeals to multiple generations.”
Shouts Gene Pao said, “This will not only give existing fans an opportunity to reengage with the show but also appeal to new viewers who missed the show’s initial run on broadcast television.”
Alien Productions partners Paul Fusco and Brian Patchett went on to say “The home-away-from-Melmac that ALF has been looking for. We’re looking forward to bringing you ALF in a totally new way — with new content, unseen art, and restored footage not seen in 30 years. This is the moment ALF fans have been waiting for.”
Alf was a brilliant show and I loved it so much which I was a kid and still watch it sometimes, the series ended in a seriously depressing way. It ended with ALF being captured by the US military’s Alien Task Force and detained. The show was super fun and the ending was super depressing.

VENGEROV'S VIEWS | Violinist Maxim Vengerov on Bowing Basics
In this, the fifth of eight teaching classes, violinist Maxim Vengerov discusses different bowing essentials
To help celebrate the launch of our new site, and the re-launch of Maxim Vengerov's new website, maximvengerov.com, over the coming weeks the superstar violinist, teacher, and conductor, will be guest presenting a series of exclusive teaching advice classes for our readers, teachers, and students everywhere.
Accompanied by helpful teaching videos that demonstrate key concepts, Maxim will cover a wide range of topics including sound, left and right-hand technique, bowing, breathing, harmony and structure, and interpretation.
In today’s fifth lesson, Maxim discusses different bowing essentials.
Join us over the coming weeks, and be sure to share the classes with your own students and friends, and let us know how Maxim’s advice has helped you on your journey to learn more.
If we compare string playing to singing, then our bow is like a singer’s lungs. However, the bow is a manmade object, with certain characteristics we need to work around. By understanding these, we can avoid being restricted by them, and even use them to our advantage. To help build a musical phrase, careful consideration of how to use the bow, and why, is essential - just as a singer decides how to control their breath and where to breathe.
Capturing all the subtleties of this art would need an entire book, and it requires many years of study to fully master. However, there are some fundamental principles to keep in mind. In this post, I will share with you a few ideas on how to approach using the characteristics of the bow to help you play a musical phrase as naturally as a vocalist can sing it.
How can the musical phrase influence the choice of bowing?
“The choice of bowing is mainly a question of musical priorities, and how you can use the bow to serve these.”
The bow is heavier at the frog and lighter at the tip. This means it is most natural to make a decrescendo on a down-bow, and a crescendo on an up-bow. Unless you compensate for the uneven weight distribution across the bow, by using bow speed or pressure, this crescendo/decrescendo is what will happen.
However, the most important guide is the musical phrase, not what the bow wants to do. So it is a compromise between what you would like to express in the music, and how you can use the bow characteristics to help you achieve this. This is why the choice of bowings is very important.
As an example: starting down-bow at the frog, the weight of the bow will provoke you to suggest an emphasis (e.g. an accent, downbeat, or a new beginning). You can use this to your advantage by choosing bowings so you arrive on a down-bow at the climax of a phrase, or when there is an accent. The weight will help you create the emphasis with minimal additional effort.
Conversely, this weight can work against you, for example, if you start a crescendo on a down-bow - this will provoke you to make a decrescendo as you go towards the lighter tip of the bow, or you must work twice as hard to compensate and make the crescendo.
By carefully considering the musical priorities, and choosing bowings to help you achieve these, you can work with the characteristics of the bow instead of against them, and save yourself a lot of additional effort.
How can bow distribution also help?
“Bow distribution is key to successful phrasing.”
Besides choosing where to play up- or down-bow, bow distribution is also very important: how much bow you use and which part of the bow. Thinking about this carefully and making wise choices can help you bring out many subtleties in the music.
Following on from the same example above: if you would like to avoid the emphasis which can happen starting down-bow at the frog, but it is not possible to choose bowings to play up-bow instead, you could instead start in the middle of the bow, and use less bow.
As another example: you can also use bow distribution to help you build a crescendo. Rather than giving everything away at the beginning by using too much bow, you can instead gradually increase the amount and speed of the bow, to build the intensity.
To help keep the music as your most important guide, I recommend putting the violin aside when you first learn a piece and studying the score - decide how you feel about it, where the phrasing leads, where the climaxes are, and so on. Then, based on this, you can choose bowings that will help you achieve these musical ideas. This approach will ensure you think beyond any limitations of the bow, and develop your technique.
What about bow changes?
“Smooth bow changes are essential to build a longer phrase.”
When you change bow from up to down or vice versa, there is a risk of losing the sound during the change. If we think about how we speak, we do not speak word by word - Otherwise It Would Sound A Bit Like This With An Accent On Every Word, and it would be hard to follow. The equivalent when we play is the break in the sound or small accent which can happen during a bow change. This presents the same danger of playing note by note, losing the connection between them, which makes it hard to build a musical phrase or convey the sense behind it.
Generally speaking, you should connect the bow as legato as possible, so you do not hear the change from one note to the next. The key to this is to maintain the same speed of the bow. Avoid “flicking” or an accelerated bow speed just before a bow change - everything must stay under your control. Use the fingers in your right hand, especially the pinky finger for bow changes at the frog. I will address this topic in further detail in Part 6 of this series.
When you play violin, or any instrument, always try to connect all notes, from one to the next - think ahead, and think in the direction of the phrase. The music lies in between the notes, and the connection between them. It is this continuous connection thatx sustains a longer phrase or musical idea.
I hope these recommendations for how to approach using the characteristics of the bow to your advantage will help you create phrasing as naturally and expressively as a singer can. Understanding and controlling these nuances will add to your playing many more musical possibilities. Always think about where in the bow you play, and why.

Starbuck was a rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1974 by Bruce Blackman and Bo Wagner. Starbuck’s debut single, “Moonlight Feels Right”, reached the #3 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts in 1976. Although the band never re-created the success of their debut, several of their songs did chart in the Billboard Top 100 and their 1977 release “Everybody Be Dancin'” reached #38.
From 1976 to 1980, the band toured with popular groups of the era including ELO, KC & the Sunshine Band, Hall & Oates and Boston. TV appearances included American Bandstand, The Merv Griffin Show, Dinah!, The Mike Douglas Show and Solid Gold.
The Ventures have had an indelible influence on a large number of musicians, both professionals and amateurs. Their instructional album, Play Guitar with the Ventures, was the first such record to chart on the Billboard Top LPs list, peaking at No. 96, and taught thousands of budding guitarists how to play the guitar.
John Fogerty, during his introduction of The Ventures at their Hall of Fame induction, said, “Walk, Don’t Run kicked open a whole movement in Rock and Roll… The sound of it became ‘surf music’ and the audacity of it empowered guitarists everywhere.” Gene Simmons was even an early member of the Ventures Fan Club and the following bands have been inspired by the Ventures:
The Beach Boys, Blondie, Dave and Ray Davies from The Kinks, Roger Fisher from Heart, Peter Frampton, The Go-Gos, John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival, Roger Glover from Deep Purple, George Harrison from The Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Robby Krieger from the Doors, Cyndi Lauper, Jeff Lynne from Electric Light Orchestra, Brian May from Queen, The Ramones, Max Weinberg from The E Street Band, Alan White from Yes and Ricky Wilson from the B-52s. Long enough list for ya?
I believe these are the last few albums I have from the group:
Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) were a British rock group from Birmingham who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. Despite early singles success in the United Kingdom, the band were initially more successful in the United States, billed as “The English guys with the big fiddles”. They soon gained a cult following despite lukewarm reviews back in their native United Kingdom. By the mid-1970s, they had become one of the biggest-selling acts in music.

What is stormwater?
Stormwater is rainwater or melted snow. Stormwater becomes runoff when it is unable to be absorbed into impervious surfaces, like streets, parking lots, and rooftops. When development happens, more stormwater runoff is generated and flows increase, ending up in creeks and waterways, rather than being filtered through the soil. Developed areas (such as towns and cities) tend to have a lot of impervious surfaces, and these areas generate more runoff than natural ground cover like forest or grasslands.
Why is stormwater important?
As stormwater runs across impervious surfaces, it picks substances that might be on the ground such as fuels, oils, dust from brake pads, animal waste, or debris like sediment and leaves. These substances contain pollutants that are harmful to our local creeks and rivers. Too much of these pollutants can hurt aquatic wildlife, cause foul odors, and even result in human illness when we use the creeks and rivers for recreation. Keeping our stormwater clean helps keep our creeks and rivers healthy, ensuring they remain a valuable asset for us and future generations.
Additionally, if not managed properly, stormwater runoff can accumulate, flow along unintended paths, and generally cause a variety of issues. Effective management of stormwater allows for appropriate asset maintenance and long-term planning.
What is an MS4?
MS4 is an acronym for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. The letter M stands for “Municipal” which means a local government such as a city or county. The “S4” represents the four words that start with the letter “S” (Separate Storm Sewer System). A separate storm sewer system is a collection of structures, such as pipes, ditches, and roadside inlets designed to collect stormwater and discharge it into local creeks and rivers. The word separate means it is not connected to the sanitary sewer system which collects human wastewater from inside a home and sends it to a sewage treatment facility or a private septic system.
What is an MS4 permit?
Stormwater runoff in East Liverpool is collected in an MS4 system and discharged primarily to the Ohio River. A permit from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) is required in order to maintain permission to send our stormwater to the river. This permit is called an MS4 permit. The East Liverpool MS4 is considered a small MS4, and our permission to discharge stormwater is granted by coverage under a state-wide permit specifically developed for small MS4 systems in Ohio (click to view the permit document OHQ000004).

A carillon is a musical instrument that is typically housed in the bell tower (or belfry) of a church or municipal building. The instrument consists of at least 23 cast bronze, cup-shaped bells, which are played serially to produce a melody, or sounded together to play a chord.Traditionally, carillons are played using a keyboard and pedal keyboard to trip the levers and wires attached to the bell clappers. Carillons of a more modern vintage are played digitally, or even utilize digital recordings in lieu of actual bells.
The last carillon I heard was this one, in Victoria, British Columbia, in January.
And here's a short, fun clip of the carillon at the University of Chicago, which takes requests.

For more than 70 years Make Mothers Matter has been working almost exclusively with volunteers whose work and commitment are second to none. But volunteers are becoming increasingly difficult to recruit and replace in case of departure – especially because mothers are becoming more professionally engaged …
To sustain its very existence, MMM wishes to have the financial means to hire employees, which would enable it to engage in long-term actions with serenity and confidence.
To this end, MMM is looking for institutions, foundations or companies to build long-term partnerships that benefit each party.
Supporting an NGO like MMM can help improve Corporate Social Responsibility well beyond the communication discourse and image that the company wants to give. Supporting an organization working with and for mothers is indeed a strong signal and a way to raise awareness and concretely engage its male and female employees on topics that are at the heart of MMM’s advocacy work, including:
Mothers at the heart of change for a culture of peace. Showcasing examples at family, community, national and international levels
The Secretary General of the EU Delegation of MMM has been speaking at an Round Table called “A business commitment for a better Work-Life Balance” on 22 March 2018 hosted by Maria Arena MEP and Agnes Jon

Vicki Johnson: When it comes to fertilizing your lawn, less is more
Excess fertilizer and pesticides used in synthetic and organic “weed and feed” products are responsible for the pollution of our steams, rivers, lakes, ponds and oceans. And those of us who over-feed our lawns and
gardens are a big part of the problem.
Packages will feature a set of numbers, such as “5-10-5.” These numbers refer to the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium within the product — the three main building blocks for plants. The better products also contain additional ingredients such as boron, copper, and other “trace elements” that plants need.
Just as it is unwise for us to rely on television and magazine advertising as primary sources of information and education for our personal health, we cannot rely on these sources for the best information for our gardens. After all, advertising campaigns strongly insinuate that all our lawn’s needs can be found in a single bag and all of our vegetable and flower’s needs can be found in one bottle or box. The truth is, just as no one single food source can supply the human body all that it needs to be healthy and strong, no single synthetic or organic fertilizer can supply all of the necessary elements that will help build and maintain healthy soil and plants.
Think for a moment; while it is true that we can get energy and some nutrition for our bodies from “junk food,” lawns also can grow green and plants produce flowers and fruits on a diet of chemicals. But a diet of junk food is a short-term, unhealthy approach to living and gardening. The human body and a garden will live and thrive longer on a diet of earth-based nutrients — food/fertilizers that are derived from natural sources.
For example: If your alarm clock failed you this morning and you did not have time to eat a good breakfast before you rushed off to work, maybe you grabbed a doughnut or bagel to eat in the car. Perhaps those simple carbs gave you the fuel to make it through the morning, but you know that a steady diet of doughnuts or bread alone is not good nutrition. The same principle applies to your garden. Pouring or spreading chemicals on your plants gives them instant fuel, but does nothing to feed the soil that will support your garden long term. Quite the opposite, in fact.
University researchers have concluded that many of the chemical ingredients used in synthetic fertilizers can actually harm the soil if used long-term — changing the ph balance and, in some cases, actually “binding up” nutrients in the soil, making them unusable to plants. Chemical fertilizers do not help build the soil’s fertility nor add water-retaining organic material that will support plants during times of drought. And since a diet of chemicals does not feed the soil, they must be used more frequently.
Creating a healthy garden is very similar to creating and maintaining our own physical health. We need good nutrition composed of a wide variety of essential elements found in the earth, air and water. The ideal diet for the garden is a blend of organic nutrients. Mulching with compost in the spring and fall, and applying only the necessary, natural fertilizers during the growing season.
For years,I have depended upon Espoma, a New Jersey company, for many organic products. Their user-friendly Web site has an excellent educational section called “Plant Food Basics.” It is one of the best online sources I have found for learning plant nutrition and how best to use fertilizers.
To save money and protect our water supply, use only the fertilizer that your lawn and garden actually needs, based on soil tests. When it comes to using fertilizer, more is definitely not better. Excess fertilizer is washed away in a rain storm or by irrigation. When these nutrients are carried away, they end up over-feeding the algae and other plant life in ponds and lakes, and causing harm to fish and other wildlife in the water.
Generally speaking, natural fertilizers break down more slowly than chemicals do, but in a drenching rain, even organic nutrients can dissolve too quickly and be flushed into streams and sewers.
So, test your soil — in your lawn as well as your garden — before you spend your money on products you may not actually need, and ask your favorite nursery owners about the natural, organic plant foods they offer.

regional power ofthe bishops orthe great abbots. 'Episcopal' Germany-which included some fifty of the sixty-seven dioceses where 'prince-bishops' reigned -was characterized by a large degree of autonomy from Rome and by a unity between political and religious structures which had endured for centuries. It covered a wide area in a mosaic of jurisdictions and ecclesiastical divisions, extending from the north-west to the south of Germany, and from the Rhine to Salzburg. Bishops, abbots, and priors all sat in the Imperial Diet, together with the princes and nobles from the minor dynasties and imperial cities. The great power of the bishops - all of noble birth and elected by the cathedral chapters -was increasingly marked by a sense of autonomy from Rome, especially after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The result was an ever stronger episcopalism, a position supported in the eighteenth century by the De statu ecclesiae (1763) of Justinus Febronius. At the same time, the region experienced a consolidation of certain secularization programmes, programmes that would be pursued during the Napoleonic occupationthroughto the dissolution ofthe ecclesiastic principalities.
While they remained active in both the religious life and the administration of their dioceses, the German bishops were also engaged in sponsoring the great architectural projects of Baroque Catholicism, ranging from churches and sanctuaries to secular buildings such as the palatial residence at Wiirzburg. Neither should one disregard the bishops' contributions to the figurative and musical arts of the age, of which prince-bishop Girolamo Colloredo's patronage of Mozart is only one example.
In east-central Europe, in the hereditary Habsburg domains and in the territories of the Bohemian and Hungarian thrones, the episcopacy strongly supported both the secular struggles against the Turks and the Protestants, and the creation of strong links between ecclesiastical institutions and the political power of the monarchy. Among the seventeenth-century bishops of the twelve dioceses in the hereditary domains, few made a mark in the spiritual and religious sphere. The typical 'Baroque' Austrian bishop could hardly be described as 'Tridentine', given his aristocratic origins and his involvement in diplomatic and administrative tasks in the service of the Habsburgs. A new type of bishop began to emerge, however, during the period of reforms in the early to mid-eighteenth century. They revealed a curious mixture of influences, both from Trent (as seen in the bishops' frequent appeals to the Council), and from the Enlightenment (as seen in their opposition to traditional expressions of popular religion, in the name of a 'rational' Christianity). In general agreement with state policies, as embodied in the Concessus in Publico-Ecclesiasticis of 1769, the bishops opposed devotional practices judged to be superstitious, such

27.5-inch wheels, long travel, aggressive geometry and kinematics... The CLASH is the 'do everything' bike - bike parks, enduro, big jump lines or outings pedal missions... It is exceedingly versatile!
As with our entire range, the geometry is the subject of our greatest attention:
- The uphill position is optimised thanks to an elongated top tube and a straighter seat angle.
- Its long front-end provides stability when everything is accelerating downhill. The short stem keeps a manoeuvrable and playful bike during slower parts of the ride.
- From the XS (27.5/26 wheels) to our adult models (S, M, L, XL) with 27.5-inch wheels, the CLASH is a very serious option for small and medium sized riders.
As 'Gravity' specialists, we know the importance of good kinematics that are suitable for the intended purpose of each of our bikes. An essential element for this year, the frame features a kinematic adjustment, just like on the FRS! This setting allows priority to either sensitivity (Sensitive) or dynamism (Dynamic):
- Sensitive mode for DH/Freeride use when you need comfort and grip
- Dynamic mode is ideal for smoother tracks, jump sessions with friends when you are looking for liveliness and play.
The CLASH - pure lines and a concentrate of technology. No compromises.
About the CLASH RIDE
With a Shiny Dirt or Chalk paint job and black components, the CLASH RIDE blends in beautifully with nature.
This RIDE model has everything you need suspension-wise:
- The ROCKSHOX Zeb fork with 38mm wide stanchions will give you all the precision you need to hold the line.
- The Super Deluxe Select R shock has settings that are as simple as they are effective.
This plush suspension combo provides comfort and performance on any type of terrain.
As for the rest of the components, they are carefully selected to represent what this CLASH is all about:
- SRAM SX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and 11-50t gearset help you tackle the toughest climbs.
- SRAM Guide T 4-piston brakes have a clean feel and are reliable.
- The KS Rage-I telescopic seat post provides real comfort and significant freedom of movement when you're on the way down.
- The MAXXIS Assegai and DHR II combo tyres perfectly match this bike and have an excellent compromise between lateral grip and roll.
Nothing is left to chance, just enjoy the CLASH.

Over the past few years, real estate investors have constantly discussed the “death of retail” - put another way, as a greater share of consumer activity occurs online, the need for large, big-box retail properties has dwindled.
On June 20-21, we attended the 2019 IFRS conference in London to stay informed on important regulatory issues affecting the insurance industry today.
This is a trend that has already begun this year, with major EM central banks already enacting rate cuts, or at least postponing planned rate hikes.
Executive summary of JPM's long-term capital market return assumptions
In a late-cycle, rising interest rate environment, duration can be overlooked. But looking at the bond market today, might it be worth giving duration a second chance?
Reaching for yield, which we define as buying bonds with wider spreads after controlling for sector and rating impacts, is a topic that frequently arises in the life insurance industry.
Executive Summary. Prolonged period of delevraging could mean low interest rates; subdued growth.


‘Pippin’ at The Fox
The national tour of the Tony Award-winning revival of “Pippin” plays at The Fox this coming week, just months after the show closed a two-year run on Broadway. Directed by Diane Paulus, who also directed the Broadway revival, won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Director. Music and lyrics are by Stephen Schwartz, who conceived the idea for the musical, and also wrote the music and lyrics for “Godspell,” “Wicked” and numerous other Broadway musicals and films.
The original production hit Broadway in 1973 and won numerous Tony Awards. I saw it in 1974, but there’s a lot of acrobatics in this version not seen originally. The revival won four 2013 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival.
The show features choreography in the style of Bob Fosse and acrobatics by Les 7 Doigts de la Main, the creative force behind the international tour of “Traces.”
“Pippin” is noted for many Broadway standards including “Corner of the Sky,” “Magic To Do,” “Glory,” “No Time at All,” “Morning Glow,” and “Love Song.”
If you’ve never seen Schwartz’s work live, perhaps you’ve seen that of his son, Scott Schwartz (the director, not the California actor), who directed a fantastic production of “Next to Normal” at the Alliance Theatre a couple of years ago. I would go see anything by either one of these creators.
Book by Roger O. Hirson, “Pippin” runs May 5 – May 10 at The Fox.

The SCRUB Act would help eliminate duplicative rules through retrospective review.
The House Judiciary Committee recently released draft legislation to address regulatory duplication. The Searching for and Cutting Regulations that are Unnecessarily Burdensome Act – known simply as the SCRUB Act – would establish an independent commission to examine rules that “are not justified by the benefits.” Scrutinizing duplication through retrospective review is a critically important task, but one that, to date, has only proceeded in piecemeal fashion.
The most significant regulatory burdens do not arise merely because of a single rule. Rather, businesses and individuals must confront the cumulative effects of a variety of regulations issued by different agencies across separate administrations. The problem is that we simply do not know the primary areas of regulatory accumulation and duplication. The public can decipher and analyze decades of tax data and the economic implications for certain rates and credits, but the regulatory world is practically a black box compared to fiscal policy.
At the very least, everyone interested in regulatory policy should want more information: more data on costs, benefits, distributional impacts, and employment effects. Are there certain regulations that impose huge barriers to innovation and obstacles for start-up companies? We generally do not know, and this is a problem that Congress and the administration must address.
All sides in the political and policy debate acknowledge at least some level of duplication in the federal government. For example, several U.S. Senators have established a bipartisan task force to “conduct a comprehensive review of federal regulations and reporting requirements affecting colleges and universities.” This task force makes sense because tuition has skyrocketed in the last decade and the paperwork burden the Department of Education has imposed on schools has increased from 43 million hours in fiscal year 2006 to more than 96 million hours in fiscal year 2011. Importantly, the task force wants to know more than just the broad numerical trends in paperwork, but actually seeks to find ways to reduce unnecessary burdens and costs.
The public knows that government duplication can take many forms. In federal spending, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found 17 areas of duplication, overlap, and fragmentation, from renewable energy to veterans’ employment. The cost of duplicative federal spending approaches $365 billion, according to one account of the GAO’s study.
Regulatory overlap also has a price. Based on the areas of overlap that the GAO identified, the American Action Forum (AAF) examined the regulatory implications of duplication. AAF found 642 million paperwork hours, $46 billion in costs, and 990 forms of federal overlap associated with the paperwork requirements in the 17 areas of government duplication that the GAO listed.
Obviously, sorting through this duplication, including the more than 174,000 pages in the Code of Federal Regulations, is a daunting process. But other developed countries are actively targeting past rules for amendment or repeal. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) in Paris recommends that all nations “conduct systematic programme reviews of the stock of significant regulation.” The OECD believes such retrospective review programs can “ensure that regulations remain up to date, cost justified, cost effective and consistent, and deliver the intended policy objectives.” Establishing a commission like the one proposed in the SCRUB Act will move the U.S. beyond its current framework toward a “consistent culture of retrospective review.”
The SCRUB Act’s proposed commission would address not only costs, but also carefully scrutinize the benefits of the rules it reviews. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently issued a rule that the agency anticipates will result in up to $52 million in environmental “disbenefits” from dirtier air and water. Under the current system, there is no guarantee this rule will be reviewed and amended.
The SCRUB Act would require a commission to examine rules where benefits may no longer justify the costs. By extension, rules that the commission finds that produce benefits that vastly exceed their costs are unlikely be repealed. Indeed, if the commission finds such rules, regulators should be able to learn better how to regulate in the future. Armed with knowledge of the actual effects of their regulations, regulatory officials can replicate the design of regulations that have continued to produce substantial net benefits, and they can avoid rules that continue to generate significant economic burdens for few, if any, benefits.
As far back as the Carter Administration, presidents have issued executive orders on regulatory reform, repeatedly calling on agencies to review regulations on the books to determine if they are still generating net benefits. Yet, executive order after executive order has left both progressives and conservatives outraged at the regulatory process. This is unfortunate because all serious policymakers, no matter their politics, should want as much information as possible about how our nation’s regulatory apparatus is working. Legislation like the SCRUB Act, which is designed to enhance our understanding of the regulatory world and reduce duplicative rules, should be applauded by everyone.
This essay is part of The Regulatory Review’s five-part series, Debating the Independent Retrospective Review of Regulations.

Dear Weave, just completed text communication with the support team. This is Veterinary Clinic and we have many clients' accounts with multiple owners (usually mom and dad) on ONE or multiple pet patients. Confusion comes along when we communicate with two owners for same pet patient obviously two owners will have two different phone numbers. Because text message thread will show the primary account holder name only, we sometimes do not know which owner we did talk to. In summary, multiple owners with different phone numbers on ONE pet creates confusion on text message thread cause message threads only shows primary account holder. So we do no now which owner did we talk to by looking at the owners name on the thread.
Suggestion: 1. Showing phone number near/under the name in the message thread, or 2. group chatting - this will fix the problem permanently.

Firstly, we say 'we' because we are a we. That didn't make sense did it? No. No, Sis, it didn't. I'm Zab, and she (the girl typing in italics) is Fern.
As we mentioned in our summary, this fic plays off the Grimm's version of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." Snow White was only seven years old when she ran into the woods. And we don't think much time passed before she got poisoned. She spent a great indefinite amount of time in the coffin. Then, the prince passes by and falls in love with a corpse-I mean Snow White. He doesn't kiss her. He carries her off because he needs to stare at her for the rest of his life. Anyway, she gets jostled, and the apple stuck in her throat comes loose. He proposes. They get married. Happily ever after, etc. This story is the consequence of such a hasty marriage.
A nine year-old girl walked up to her grandfather who was leaning against a well.
"Granpapa," she asked, "why does everyone say the queen is slow? She seems fast enough to me." Then the girl reconsidered her statement, "Well, now she is a little slow since she's gotten fat."
"Pregnant, Elise," Granpapa corrected. "She's pregnant."
"But Mummy's fa—pregnant. Nobody ever called her slow."
Granpapa sighed. He had hoped to sidestep Elise's question. Eh, he might as well just tell the truth. What could it hurt? Elise's mother would probably yell at him for this, but the little one needed to know eventually.
"The queen is only eight years old," Granpapa explained.
"But she's too big to be eight," the girl cried.
"Let me tell you a story." Granpapa shifted into a position which felt more suited for telling his grandchild a story. "When Queen Snow White was seven years old, her stepmother got jealous of her beauty and tried to kill her." He skipped over a few details, as they weren't entirely pertinent to the reason the queen's mind was stunted. "The wicked stepmother convinced Princess Snow White to eat a poisoned apple. The princess slept in a glass coffin for thirteen years until the prince, who is now king, found her."
Granpapa took a deep breath. Elise had edged up close to him, listening intently. "In the time she slept," he continued, "her body aged, but her mind did not. She looks like an adult, but she's not." Granpapa looked meaningfully into the little girl's eyes. "She acts like Hilda."
"Hilda?" Elise grimaced. The idea of a woman she looked up to acting like an annoying little sister was obviously repugnant.
"Yes," Granpapa affirmed. "Then, the very day they met, the prince married Snow White for her beauty, not realizing that he was marrying a child." He then chuckled, "He must have had the most interesting wedding night any man has ever had."
Elise's eyebrow's drew together. "Why's that?" She asked innocently.
"Oh, no reason."
A few hours walk from Elise's village stood an impressive palace. Standing beneath its shadow would make people dream of sumptuous furnishings, magnificent feasts, ornate apparel, and dignified nobles. Upon entering everything seems in its place. The servants bustling from chore to chore. Knights patrolling and standing guard. Nobility floating elegantly down the halls.
Over at the far end of castle was the chambers of the king and queen. Outside her personal room stood Queen Snow White. Her legendary ebony black hair softly framed her perfect snowy white complexion. A small smile effortlessly held her blood red lips. As fitting, her dress and jewels were lavish. Even with her protruding pregnant belly she was the picture of perfect beauty.
She leaned over scratched the ears of her favorite sheep. This sheep, Lucy, was a ball of fluff whose neck was fitted into an intricate golden collar. If this animal's wool grew any longer it would have to be sheared. Otherwise, the fluff would cross from cute and cuddly to overgrown and saggy. The people believed it would never be sheared again though. The queen had cried for days the last time Lucy's wool was cut. If the king was willing to allow a barn animal's presence in order to avoid conflict, he wasn't going to argue with letting the creature get a little ugly.
The king hurried into view. "My dear Snow White," he greeted, "your presence is required in the council chambers." He himself was delivering the message because the queen wouldn't listen to the page boys or even the knights who would normally do the deed. She was convinced that at least half of them were trying to tease her.
She perked up. "Can I make any decisions?"
"Not this time," he answered gently. This response might suggest that he would eventually let her make important decisions for the kingdom. Truth be told, he wasn't sure he would ever allow her that privilege. One time she tried to order the armies into pretty floral formations. Another time she wanted the emissaries to send children's toys to a neighboring kingdom as a token of good will. If that kingdom's royal family had small children, then perhaps the gift could have been appropriate—provided it was supplemented with treasures for adults. But, as it was, the rulers were trying to get their only child married off. Sending toys would have poked at a very sore wound. Those instances, along with similar daily occurrences, suggested that her mind was too young to handle delicate matters of court. Then there was that sheep. The king grimaced as his wife's dear pet left droppings on the ground.
Snow White pouted. "Darrel," she lengthened his name with whiny syllables. "I never get to do anything in court. It's so boring."
"My dear, I let you plan the feasts and festivals."
"Oh, a feast," she said dreamily. "That sounds good right now."
"You just ate," Darrel reminded even though he knew the statement would be of no use.
"But I'm hungry again. You know what I really want? I want pork chops." She closed her eyes, imagining the juicy taste. Her eyes flew open. "Oh," she squealed, "I want ice cream. Could I have ice cream, Darrel?"
Darrel repressed an exasperated sigh. "The weather won't be cold enough for at least another two months."
"You could take me into the mountains," she pleaded.
"Last time we did that, once you finally got it, you said the ice cream was the 'most disgusting thing' you had ever seen. Besides, we don't have the time to go into the mountains. We are needed in court." The king refrained from mentioning how close to giving birth she was. Snow White resented any comment about what would be dangerous in her condition.
"Alright, but let me bring Lucy."
"My dear, let's leave Lucy with a servant. You can play with her after the council." The king imagined with horror the idea of the animal bleating and soiling the polished marble. He shuddered at how disruptive the sheep would be. It would possibly be worse than Snow White's antics. The only reason he insisted on her presence was in hopes that she would gain maturity. More quickly.
Snow White stuck out her bottom lip.
"If you leave Lucy with a servant," Darrel negotiated, "then I'll see to it that you are provided with sweet meats throughout the council."
The queen sighed, "Alright."
"But, Granpapa," Elise said, "how does acting like Hilda make Queen Snow White slow?"
Granpapa unconsciously face-palmed.
"What's wrong?" Elise asked.
Granpapa realized that he had talked himself into a corner. The comparison of Hilda and Snow White was meant to be an innocent visualization. Now if he explained what he meant by 'slow,' then Elise would start saying that Granpapa thought Hilda was stupid. Even if he did manage to get around defining 'slow,' Elise was still going to use her new knowledge to insult her sister. The girls didn't along very well to begin with. Granpapa's daughter was going to be murderous. And rightfully so.

Abstract. This work describes an experimental investigation on the applicability of an injection-locked broad-area diode laser for laser cooling, which requires narrow-linewidth light. Unlike diode laser arrays, injection locked broad-area lasers have so far not been demonstrated to operate on a linewidth below 1MHz. Using a heterodyne technique, we show that the frequency of the master laser is tracked by the locked broad-area laser to within 2 kHz. This implies that when a narrow-linewidth laser is used as a master, an equally narrow-linewidth output can be obtained. Furthermore, we investigated practical aspects like ease of alignment, and tuning behavior.We conclude that an injection-locked broad-area laser can be an excellent laser source for applications requiring high-power narrow-linewidth laser light, like non-linear spectroscopy and laser cooling.

Gun Sanctuary Approved By Wasatch County Council
Last night (Wednesday), the Wasatch County Council voted in favor of becoming a second amendment sanctuary county.
Wasatch County Councilmember Kendall Crittenden sponsored the gun sanctuary ordinance. He said Uintah, Beaver, Wayne, and Iron Counties have similar regulations in place. Additionally, Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions have passed in multiple counties around the state.
The Wasatch County ordinance passed the County Council in a 5 to 2 vote, with Mark Nelson and Marilyn Crittenden voting against the declaration.
In the April 21 meeting, Kendall Crittenden (no relation to Marilyn) said the County Council formed a committee to work on the project. During the April meeting, the Council received dozens of public comments in favor of the county ordinance.
"Our August meeting of last year, we discussed having a committee consisting of three council members, myself, councilwoman Marilyn Crittenden and Councilmember Nelson, and we have three citizens on that committee, Scott Lewis, Sandy Hughes, and Ryan Hobbs. And then we also included Sheriff Rigby and a representative from the county attorney's office."
Wasatch County Sheriff Jared Rigby wrote the second amendment sanctuary ordinance 21-04. Rigby did not respond to KPCW for a comment for this story.
