HMA made from a specific materials may be need to strength when is subject to water in the pavement layers because of the ability of water to prevent the binder to not adhere to the aggregate and it will not to hold the pavement together which leads to rapid failure of the pavement .This is often referred to as stripping that it makes treatments such as enhance the pavement layers with certain materials from presence of water . Test methods are study to measure the resistance of different mixturesutilizing recycled aggregate to saturation periods and also to measure the significance of using theanti-stripping as additives. This research was in exposing the three types of asphalt, one 60% of recycled aggregate from asphalt mixture and the other 60% recycled aggregate from the concrete mix and third mix using 10% from wax as additive by weight of asphalt, to merging in water with different durations represented as (3, 7, 15, 28) days . Different experimental tests were also conducted and compared the results with virgin asphalt mixture for the same conditions. The tests used was (Marshall stability and flow), bulk density, indirect tensile strength, compressive strength, sensitivity to temperature, resilient modulus. The investigation was successful so it gave valuable results showing improved asphalt resistance to moisture damage when using recycled aggregate from previous mixes and provingthe wax effectiveness in increasing these resistance and improve HMA properties

Huh? “Invert” the image in post? Due to what, an upside down camera? What makes a DOF (depth of field?) kit so righteously important to the equation?
All the 35mm lens kits I have seen have the “inverted image” problem due to the physics of how 35mm film cameras work – The image captured on the film is inverted (same as your retina – except your brain flips the image). The pentaprism in an SLR does the flip for you.
Depth of field can be a very desired effect – If you are looking for a “film look”. It can help the flow of the story (like when the focus shifts from a person in the foreground to one further away) and make for very dramatic looking footage. Most folks want a broader depth of field for casual footage so more of the frame’s elements are in focus (why some even shooting with film use smaller apertures).

A film about a boy who cheats death so his family can once again enjoy the gift of music will warm hearts on Christmas Day.
Coco, from Toy Story makers Pixar Amination Studios, premieres on BBC1 in the afternoon as families gather for the first time in months.
It tells the story of 12-year-old Miguel, who is banned by his parents and granny from playing the guitar.
Miguel is transported to the Land of the Dead where he seeks the help of a long-departed ancestor, who the family believe abandoned them to pursue his own musical dreams.
A source said: “Miguel’s journey leads him to find out all about love, life, death, betrayal and, most of all, family. It’s an uplifting story, sure to go down well with viewers of all ages.”
The 2017 movie took £605million at the box office worldwide.
It went on to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2018.
A review in Empire raved of it: “Pixar has raised the animation bar again, with its most musical – and arguably most magical – film yet.
“If this is the afterlife we’re all headed to, don’t fear the reaper.”
More family fun beckons on Christmas morning as BBC1 screens Early Man.
The stop-motion animation by Wallace and Gromit makers Aardman follows a Stone Age tribe who have to defend their homeland from Bronze Age invaders in a bizarre winner-takes-all football match.
Other titles on the channel for the first time over the holidays include Spider-Man: Homecoming, Cars 3, Dunkirk and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Last year’s special feature How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming, will get another airing as well.
Over on BBC2, highlights include 2018 film The Happy Prince, based on the final days of literary giant Oscar Wilde, Rudolf Nureyev biopic The White Crow and Armando Iannucci’s satire The Death of Stalin.

Prof. John Roy Robert Searl is the inventor of the Searl Effect Generator concept; born May 2nd, 1932 in Berkshire, England. Prof. Searl was the exclusive Lead Consultant to SEG Magnetics, Inc. (SEGM), working closely with the SEG Team in San Diego County and living near the company premises up until his death on December 4, 2018; due to pneumonia and other debilitating health issues at the age of 86. SEGM is fully authorized and approved by the inventor to carry on leading the development of the SEG with Fernando D. Morris – CEO and his team, the most dedicated, knowledgeable and capable to continue his legacy towards commercialization of the SEG technology for a clean energy future. https://segmagnetics.com

Fair use is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use.
John Roy Robert Searl (born 2 May 1932) is the inventor of the Searl Effect Generator (SEG) and the Inverse Gravity Vehicle (IGV), both are open system (system theory) energy converting devices, utilizing linear motor technology with sets of multi-phased rollers riding on a magnetic bearing. An electrical autodidact, Searl conducted his initial experimental research and development from 1946 to 1956. The SEG successfully generated electricity, but also unexpectedly repelled itself from the earths gravity with a powerful lifting force; subsequently he was able to control it with the development of the IGV.
A repeating set of simple dreams spanning six years inspired John Searl to build the first SEG prototype. Convinced of their import, he diligently interpreted them, realizing they detailed the principles for creating a uniquely superior electrical generator, yielding massive forces of energy. His first attempts to prove his theory took place as an apprentice employee of BR Rewinds at Grays Inn Road, London. There he gained permission to use the company's facilities and all of the technical resources needed to make the device. In December of 1946, with all of the magnetic components manufactured to his specifications, he assembled the unique generator at his residence at 30 Crawley Rd, Haringey, London, UK.
When Searl first activated his device, the rollers (rotors) began to rotate around the plate (stator), generating a charge-pumping action on an open circuit configuration. At threshold speed, the device maintained its rotation with no additional energy input from the peripheral electromagnets. In the case of the original prototype, however, Searl had not provided a dampening mechanism, which caused a positive energy feedback loop to occur (circuit virtually closed) as the machine charged or ionized the air surrounding it, causing the device to accelerate. Eventually the generator experienced a severe drop in temperature inversely proportional to the increasing electric current as the electrical resistance decreased into lines predicted by the Pinch (plasma physics) effect. The random kinetic energy of the electrons became uniform in motion (physics), directly resulting in very high electron velocity, and thus the SEG quickly achieved superconductivity at extremely low temperatures. In this state, quantum tunneling electrons surged through the generator in the form of unimpeded Cooper pairs, resulting in very high negative potentials at the device's periphery.

It is necessary to create hospices in Bashkiria - Commissioner for Human Rights
UFA, 15 December 2016. /Bashinform News Agency, Galiya Nabieva/.
There are still no hospices in Bashkortostan. This problem was outlined at a meeting with journalists at the "Interfax-Volga" agency by the Commissioner for Human Rights in RB Rim Kayumov. The Commissioner for Human Rights considers that the medical institutions for the incurable (cancer) patients are necessary, where not only the conditions that facilitate suffering are created, but also moral support is rendered.
"I have already spoken and will continue to speak about the need to establish hospices for patients in the last stages of terminal cancer in our republic. If palliative care is actively developing, the solution of this issue leaves much to be desired ", said the Commissioner for Human Rights RB.
Rim Kayumov told about the experience of hospices in other regions, where they work in the framework of public-private partnership under the auspices of charitable funds. In Russia, their number is close to one hundred, although the need for them is much higher, the Commissioner believes.

– As Class 5A'a top-ranked team in the weekly coaches poll by The Denver Post, Highlands Ranch
boys basketball has garnered a certain level of respect around Colorado.
Perhaps telling, though, is that the Falcons haven't won everyone over just yet. Despite being the last undefeated team in the classification, two coaches did not vote for Highlands Ranch in the top spot last week. Human error or bias can't entirely be blamed, as even the computer-generated MaxPreps rankings have the Falcons No. 2 in 5A
Well, after running through a solid schedule in the season's opening month, Highlands Ranch (16-0) has not played a team with a winning record since beating Columbine on Dec. 21. That stretch of seven consecutive games against sub-.500 teams ends this week as the Falcons finally meet the other powers of the Continental League, the toughest contingent in the state.
Most certainly, this is what the doubters have been waiting for.
"Sure, I think that's fair," said Highlands Ranch coach Bob Caton. "We've been waiting, too. From here on out we have a lot tougher schedule. We know that."
After beating up on the bottom half of the top-heavy Continental, Highlands Ranch gets it first league test tonight against Legend (Parker)
, which was ranked No. 10 last week. Looming at the end of the week is a matchup against three-time defending champion and fifth-ranked Regis Jesuit (Aurora)
Down the stretch are three more contests against Top 10 teams: league games against ThunderRidge (Highlands Ranch)
and Chaparral (Parker)
and the season finale against perennial contender Denver East
. Chaparral and Denver East were the two teams that also earned a No. 1 vote.
The Falcons are just as excited about the prospects of the upcoming schedule.
"We've got two Top 10 teams, so it will be a good week," senior Austin Haldorson
said before practice Monday. "We've had a few tough games early, and (since) we have been practicing just as hard as if we had had hard games.
"Our focus is on Legend right now, but we are definitely excited for Regis and the rest of the season."
The 6-foot-9 Haldorson is one of the top players in the classification and the leader for an athletic Falcons team that has great size and a deep bench. They are at their best in transition with a bevy of ballhandlers and finishers, and they take particular pride in their defense.
Haldorson, who plans to play collegiately at Wyoming, is the key at both ends of the court. He averages a team-leading 16.9 points and 3.9 assists offensively, while collecting 9 rebounds and 3.3 blocks an outing defensively. Of note, he set a school record with 10 blocks last week against Castle View.
As a testament to his versatility, which pretty much applies to the entire Falcons roster, Haldorson frequently has the ball in his hands on the press break, can step outside and hit the 3-pointer and despite his size often plays out front when the Falcons drop into a zone defense.
"I played a lot of the big man role last year, and now I get the ball a lot more in my hands for dribbling especially," said Haldorson, who had offers from 10 Division I programs, including Nevada, Air Force and Denver. "This past summer I brought up the ball on my club team, practicing to get ready for college but I still need a lot of work."
The Falcons have been able to free up Haldorson because of the presence down low of Steve Donatell
(6-5), Austin Vahling
(6-7), Zach Braxton
(6-7), James Thomas
(6-5) and Connor Healy
(6-5). The sizable front line is as formidable as any in the state.
Donatell, who has verbally committed to play football at Wake Forest, is one of three Falcons scoring in double figures at 10.5 points. Senior guard Brett Brady
is second on the team at 15.5 points. He averaged only 4.5 points a season ago.
"From last year, I've just had to step up and provide more scoring and more ball handling, and be more of a leader than I used to," Brady said.
Haldorson, Brady and Donatell had much different roles last season when the Falcons advanced to the state semifinals behind Brett Olson, who is performing well in his freshman season at the University of Denver. Haldorson averaged only 6.3 points, Donatell just 5.1.
"Our three seniors, who were a main part of last year's team, have been great," Caton said. "We are a little more inexperienced overall than what last year's team was, though. We've had to put a bunch of pieces together.
"In certain ways, I'm a little surprised at where we are right now. I didn't foresee us being 16-0 now. I thought we might stub our toe here or there."
Caton cited the inside presence of Vahling, who played junior varsity last season, the rugged sophomore Braxton and speedy and diminutive point guard Renz Ragub
(5-5) as some of those key complementary pieces.
Also, added to an already quality bench five games ago were Healy and Isaiah Parros
, who stands 6-3. The duo, which is averaging more than 13 points combined, had to sit the first half of the season per state transfer rules after coming over from Castle View and Cherokee Trail, respectively.
It's obvious the affable Caton is confident in the makeup of his fifth team at Highlands Ranch. Any coach in the state would love to have that blend of size, speed and athleticism.
Still, he has seen a lot in his 30 years of coaching, which has included previous stops at Manual, Denver West, George Washington, Lincoln and Aurora Central. He has twice led teams to the state finals (GW in 2001, Aurora Central in 2007), but has come away without a title.
Both runner-up teams were seeded No. 1 in the tournament (Aurora Central entered the postseason undefeated), so Caton knows very well that the favorite doesn't always prevail.
"It takes a little luck to get wherever you are going to go," Caton said. "Whether it's the final eight, the final four or the finals, you have to get the right matchups and you can't have a bad game at the wrong time."
The Falcons haven't had one yet.

A BRITISH conman who lived the high life while on the run in Australia for a $380,000 fraud has been caught after Queensland police arrested him by chance during a random breath test.
Former London stockbroker Robert Taylor-Barefoot made it to Britain's "Most Wanted" list after he fled last year while on bail for a string of frauds in which he fleeced investors of their funds.
For more than 14 months he lived under the false name Sam Jeffers in Cairns in north Queensland.
He had set up an advertising firm advising how to maximise marketing prospects through social media and claimed to work closely with internet giants Google and Twitter and to be a close friend of Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
Suspicious officers later searched his room for an ID and found his passport with his real name under the bed.
Taylor-Barefoot, 34, appeared before the Old Bailey in London after being deported from Australia.
The 61/2-year sentence he had received in absentia after being found guilty of seven counts of fraud and one of conspiracy to defraud was reimposed, with an added two months for skipping bail.
The court heard the conman had lived the high life, with champagne sprees in London's West End, including a $25,000 bar bill from the club favoured by the royal princes, Mahiki. He spent more than $20,000 in a London strip club and $15,000 on a wedding.
British Police investigator Perry Sands said: "He ran a long way away but ultimately could not hide forever from his crimes". He said he was pleased he was back behind bars.

Fiery O'Reilly Slams 'Dubious' Authors of 'Misleading' New Book on Jesus
Bill O’Reilly tonight slammed the “dubious people” who wrote “misleading things” about Jesus in a new book.
“The Lost Gospel” claims that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had two children. But O’Reilly, author of “Killing Jesus,” says there is “absolutely no evidence” to back that claim.
“This stupid new book is a fraud and simply designed to make money. The national media should be ashamed for participating in that.”
Watch more above.

The Chicago Bulls, along with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets are now reportedly all in the mix for Kevin Love. Cleveland still appears to be the front-runner, but Chicago, if willing, can also put an enticing package together, especially if the Cavaliers insist on keeping number one overall pick Andrew Wiggins.
LAS VEGAS- Here at the Hard Rock Hotel, the Milwaukee Bucks are 250-1 to win next year’s NBA title, the longest odds in the league. They even surpass the tank-to-the-bank Philadelphia 76ers, whose top draft pick may sit out the entire regular season for the second consecutive year. But for people not named Jason Kidd, the Bucks aren’t playing for next season. With a pair of 19-year-old kids oozing with potential, showing their natural abilities on the UNLV campus, it’s easy to

With the NBA draft coming up, it is kind of fun to remember back to my draft day in 1981. It’s like going through your wedding album years later. But instead of the burgundy tuxedo and ruffled shirt, its 1980s hair and wide ties. Going into my senior year at Syracuse, I was a relatively unknown player. I had played behind All-American center Roosevelt Bouie and had just played my first season as the starter. Scouting was primitive by today’s standards.
Joel Embiid of Kansas has a broken foot and needs surgery. And now that piece of news has thrown everyone’s draft projections into disarray. Embiid was listed at No. 1 in Mock Draft 4.0, but he is not there in our latest edition. So does that mean the Cavs will not draft him? Perhaps not. The Cavs are now looking at trading down a couple of spots, believing that Embiid will still be available. And with the Philadelphia 76ers coveting Andrew Wiggins,
Nobody in America is going to bat quite as hard for David Blatt as myself and my staff.

He is just the fifth top overall draft pick to miss the All-Rookie team in 26 years. There were quite a few young rookies deserving of the

white chocolate cheesecake w/ cherries & double crust
12 oz. graham crackers, crushed fine
1 stick salted butter, melted
Tiny pinch of sea salt
4 - 8 oz. packages of cream cheese, room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
9 oz. white chocolate, chopped (use high quality white chocolate-see cook notes)
4 large eggs AND 2 egg yolks
1 ts good quality vanilla extract
cook notes: this makes a lot of crust for the 10-inch pan, but I like to have it thick, so if you don’t like it thick you could probably halve it. But with the remaining leftover crust I just put it in a bag and freeze or make a mini cheesecake. There will also be leftover cheesecake batter—haven’t figured out how to scale it down yet. But with the leftover crust and batter you can easily make 2 mini cheesecakes if you have the mini spring form pans. I do not have a mixer, I know, everyone always ask how I do it, but I do, been that way for decades. So I just use a food processer, works perfectly. Please use a high quality white chocolate, trust me it is worth it. Don’t use the Toll House white chips like I did once—they DO NOT melt, only turn into oil. Use high quality ones: like Lindt or Perugina. The next time I make this I think I would like to add in a pinch of cinnamon to the crust or even almond, just see what it would taste like.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a measuring cup, crack open the eggs and egg yolks, set aside until ready to use.
Spray a 10-inch springform pan with non stick spray. In a food processor grind up the graham crackers into a fine crumb. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, a pinch of salt, and the melted butter. Mix, then press into the bottom and partially up the sides of the spring form pan. (I use a flat bottomed glass to press it in evenly). Recipe & photos by Dawn Finicane of vanillakitchen.blogspot.com
Note: there will be some crumbs leftover; I normally use more crumbs than the average cheesecake because I love a thick crumb.
Bake for 12 minutes, set aside and let cool. Reduce the oven heat to 325°F.
I used my food processor to make the cheesecake batter—I suppose you could use a mixer, but I don’t have one (I know, weird). With the food processor, mix the cream cheese until smooth and lump free. Add in the sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Start on the white chocolate Ganache.
Bring the 1/2 cup of heavy cream to a gentle simmer over medium heat in a small sauce pan. Add in the white chocolate chunks and stir, keep stirring until the white chocolate is nice and melted. Once it looks like it’s just about melted, take off the heat, keep stirring a bit while letting it cool. Then add it to your cheesecake batter, slowly, by pouring it in with the food processor running. Once the white chocolate is combined then add in the eggs one at a time until all is mixed well. Then add in the vanilla extract.
Most people like to do a water bath for their cheesecake. I never do, I find all too annoying. But if you want to do this please feel free; it’s best to bake your cheesecake how ever you feel most comfortable.
I baked this cheesecake at 325°F for one hour then at 300°F for an additional 40 to 60 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then refrigerating for at least 6 hours.
Is nothing more than chopped up cherries (about ¾ lb to 1 lb of red or black cherries) with one freshly squeezed lemon, a few tablespoons of sugar (about 3 depending on how sweet or not sweet you like it); mix this in a sauté pan over low heat. Bring to a boil then add in about 1 tablespoon of sifted cornstarch to help thicken the sauce a bit. If you don’t sift the cornstarch you’ll get lumps in the sauce, not good. Sautee for about 10 minutes or so, until thick; remove from heat, let cool, then store in fridge to let it set up.

What are people doing to protect gray wolves?
We’ve helped hundreds of ranchers purchase turbo-fladry and livestock guard dogs, hire range riders and deploy scare devices to keep wolves away from livestock. We also monitor state and federal legislatures and wildlife agencies closely to track potential threats to wolf populations and recovery.
How was the GREY wolf saved?
Probably the best-known wolf recovery effort was the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in 1995 and 1996. After an absence of more than 50 years, the Service brought wild gray wolves from Canada to the Park and to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area in Idaho.
How can we protect wolves?
Adopt one of our wolves to help support that wolf and get photos, newsletters and more.
- Donate Goods and Services. Shop our Amazon wish list, donate a vehicle or find other ways to support the wolves!
- Bequests and Planned Giving. Create a legacy that will help save wolves.
How can we save the Mexican gray wolf?
“To conserve and ensure the survival of C. l. baileyi by maintaining a captive breeding program and re-establishing a viable, self-sustaining population of at least 100 Mexican wolves in the middle to high elevations of a 5,000-square mile area within the Mexican wolf’s historic range.”
How are wolves helpful to humans?
Reason #4: Wolf kills feed more animals than hunting by humans, since wolves scatter their carrion over the landscape. Wolf kills benefit (PDF) three times more species than human hunting kills. Wolves can help by reducing sick animals’ lifespans, in turn limiting the amount of time they can spread infections.
What would happen if wolves went extinct?
If wolves went extinct, the food chain would crumble. The elk and deer population would increase (see chart on next slide) and eat the cow and other livestock’s food. Then we, the Humans, would have a food shortage in beef and dairy and possibly shortages in other food products too.
When did wolves almost go extinct?
The gray wolf was almost extinct in the lower 48 states of the United States by the mid 1900s. Thanks to the Endangered Species Act, the gray wolf may be well on its way to recovery. Issues still remain as the wolf’s successful repopulation may signal an end to its full protection under federal laws.
Why are we killing wolves?
Humans kill wolves when they want to privatize nature. The American gray wolf represents a rare environmental miracle. But since the Trump administration delisted the animal under the Endangered Species Act last October, some states have declared open season on Canis lupus.
How many wolves are left in the world 2020?
There is no possibility of knowing exactly how many wolves there are in the world. However, scientists have estimated that around 200,000 to 250,000 wolves are inhabiting the world, with the majority of the species residing in the United States and about 50,000 gray wolves living in Canada.
How endangered is the Mexican wolf?
The Mexican gray wolf has been recognized as an endangered species since 1976 and about 300 individuals currently live in captivity between the United States and Mexico. Twenty years after gaining this endangered status, these rare predators were returned to the Southwest through a bi-national reintroduction program.
What would happen if the Jaguar went extinct?
If jaguars were to go extinct, the number of these animals would perhaps increase, which might change the current ecosystem, from what it is now, to a new ecosystem that will adjust to the species left. Apart from humans, another source of jaguar endangerment is habitat loss.
How do wolves maintain homeostasis?
Wolves maintain homeostasis through body structures and behaviors. Wolves are pack animals, where they tend to stay in groups of other wolves to help…

So, What Is It About "Rent," Anway?
April 15, 2009 - Phyllis Sigal
My daughter summed it up quite nicely after we enjoyed the opening night of "Rent" at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts in Pittsburgh.
It's just so good.
You still hear so much about the show that opened in 1996, and wonder what is so great about it. Then you see it, and you know what it is about "Rent" that keeps it fresh, keeps it popular, keeps it relevant.
For one, it's the music. What great songs have come out of that show ... "Rent," "One Song Glory," "Light My Candle," "Seasons of Love," "I'll Cover You" and my favorite, "Santa Fe."
It's the energy ... watching those dancers on stage is amazing. And the energy of the characters just living their lives.
It's the heart-wrenching sadness of loss, and the triumph of love and friendship. Those stories never go out of style.
Obviously the tale transcends time — the show is based on "La Boheme," written by Puccini in 1896 and set in 1830. Reading the synopsis, I am still amazed at the similarities ... down to the Americanized names of the French characters. In fact I did see the opera in Venice several years ago, and had it not been that I knew the story from "Rent," I'd have never understood what was going on!
The opening night audience for "Rent" at the Benedum was truly full of fans. When Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp, who both originated the roles at the New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway, came on stage, there were hoots and hollers all around. When Gwen Stewart belted her solo in "Seasons of Love," which she originated, also at New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway, the crowd went wild. And I got chills. You could tell a lot of people had seen "Rent" many times before — groupies for sure.
And seeing it with those original stars — wow. There really is something special about the original Broadway cast — as if the parts are THEIR parts, and everyone else just got to play it. (I sure would've loved to have seen Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel in their roles as Benny and Maureen.)
Along with Adam, Anthony and Gwenn, several other members of the touring cast have been in "Rent" on Broadway as well. And all of the cast members held their own for sure. Sometimes when there are "stars" or "notables" in a cast, you wonder if everyone else will measure up. Well, they did.
I remember seeing "Rent" for the first time in August of 2003 in the Nederlander Theatre. Many of the cast members were making their Broadway debut, and some had come from a touring company of "Rent," but none were originals. One interesting connection I discovered as I pored over my program from 2003 and my program from the Pittsburgh show: I found one name who was in both — Andy Senor. He played Angel — a drag queen, one of the main characters — on Broadway and is cast as "Steve, a man with a squeegee, a waiter and others" in the touring production. Unfortunately his understudy performed in the show I saw in Pittsburgh. I remember Angel on Broadway as being one of my favorite characters. Senor also understudies Angel in this touring production.
One interesting thing about attending a Broadway show this time of year is that the actors collect money as patrons exit the theater for Broadway Cares, a fund-raising effort for AIDS. So far, in just four weeks, this "Rent" production has raised about $220,000. At the end of the show, one of the lead performers usually comes out to talk about the cause.
At the opening night of "Rent," Anthony Rapp, who plays Mark, talked about the cause. He also auctioned off a "back-stage experience." A few lucky winners paid $700 each for the opportunity to come back to the show during its Pittsburgh run, hang out with the stage manager throughout the show and mingle a bit with the cast!
I got to put my couple of bucks in a bucket manned by Benny, the yuppy landlord. And for my husband's $20 donation, we got a program autographed by all of the cast members!
It's pretty cool to see the actors as people, and then to rub elbows with them on your way out the door.
It's always interesting, too, to read the bios of the actors to see where they've been before this particular show.
Mimi, played by Lexi Lawson, noted in her bio that she was a contestant on this season's "American Idol," but "left the show to honor a dream of playing the role of Mimi."
"Rent" will be at Pittsburgh's Benedum Center for the Performing Arts through April 19.
I'd go again if I could .... I'm thinking now that I have "Rent Radio" on my iPhone's Pandora application, am about to download the original Broadway cast recording and can't stop watching the little clip of the show on the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Web site, that maybe I'm an official "Rent" groupie now.
How do I love "Rent"? 525,600 ways ....

The cast of "Rent"

It was another one of those days on the Hill. With back-to-back press conferences this morning — first Democratic Reform czar Pierre Poilievre unsheathing his scalpel and pointing it at Elections Act, then the RCMP formally announcing charges against Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb — the communications monkeys in the opposition parties had more than enough to go off of for today’s Question Period.
But Thomas Mulcair limped into today’s showdown, launching with the days-old story about Veteran’s Affairs Minister Julian Fantino’s rousing mishaps in dealing with Canada’s ex-soldiers. He then jumped to allegations against the Communications Security Establishment Canada, and their eerie plot to surveil Canadians’ while on airport public wifi.
Well, the Prime Minister flung off that mud.
This government has done more for veterans…
CSEC does not spy on Canadian citizens…
And the opposition voted against those measures…
This was part of a modelling exercise…
Same talking points, different mouth.
It wasn’t until Trudeau took up the torch that we got some fresh meat. Why does this government want to strip Elections Canada of its oversight? Trudeau wanted to know.
Well Harper rose in his seat with all the power of a Furby on low batteries to tell the House that the Chief Electoral Officer, who would be killed and revived as the Commissioner of Canada Elections, would be much happier in his new home within the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. He did not explain why that would be the case — ostensibly, running off a frustratingly unenlightening press conference from Poilievre, it’s because a commissioner cannot be reasonably expected to police an office he is employed by.
What Trudeau did not get around to asking is why the government is insisting on stiffening rules on who can vote. Under the new Election Act reforms, voter information cards — the little white-and-red cards that come in the mail that seemingly everyone thinks constitutes proper identification — will not longer be accepted at the polls. Also getting cut is the ability for voters to swear an oath to vouch for an ID-less relative or friend. That is now long-gone, saving us from the scourge of evil election-stealing radicals dragging hordes of complicit grannies to the polls in an effort to steal the election. Thank god.
But those questions didn’t get asked by the Liberal leader.
Instead, next at the plate was Mulcair again, lamenting the charges laid against Harb and Brazeau this morning.
Specifically, Mulcair probed the conspicuously-missing mortgage fraud charges against Harb, the ones that failed to materialize in part because a certain Brunei diplomat with whom the former Liberal Senator may-or-may-not-have had a relationship with refused to testify, safe in her Embassy in China.
Well Mulcair would not let that stand, and demanded that Harper compel the government of Brunei to serve up its diplomat.
Harper put down that request gently and walked away, trying not to get any of its crazy on his nice suit.
From there, the day went downhill fast, with Democratic Reform critic Craig Scott and fancy-new-haircut-haver Poilievre jumping into the bear-pit on the Elections changes. It involved many mentions of “everyday citizens,” and an Elections Canada with “sharper teeth” with a “longer reach.”
Poilievre would take no lumps from the NDP who were concerned about disenfranchising voters. No lumps at all, thank you. We’ll stick to the everyday Canadians with long, sharp teeth.
Nicholson took some lateshow jabs on CSEC oversight, but assured the country that Our Government is protecting Canadians from terrorists, cyber-hackers and kidnappers.
While it’s not entirely clear how a spy agency tasked with intercepting the digital communications of foreign citizens can protect me from kidnapping, I sincere appreciate it. I really hate getting kidnapped.
The lowpoint of the backend of Question Period was watching neophyte MP Chrystia Freeland try to ask some question probably about the state of our economy, only to be completely swept under a wave of grumbling Conservative MPs. She tried in vain to rise above the sloshing tide of political cynicism, yet only managed to choke out some incomprehensible platitudes before being pulled under by the tide. Oh well.
A shining ray of light in the otherwise foggy trudggery of Tuesday’s back-and-forth was a question by NDP elder statesman Wayne Marston, who wanted to know what the Government of Canada was doing to help Canadian-Egyptian citizen and al-Jazeera journalist Mohamed Fahmy, who is in a Cairo prison facing deplorable conditions and an untreated injury, all because of some particularly flimsy allegations from that country’s coup government that he is a propagandist for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Consular Affairs, told Marston about as much as her office told me when I reached out — We are in touch with consular officials in Egypt, we have reached out to his family, we continue to monitor the situation.
The government’s silence on Fahmy’s situation is particularly conspicuous, and appears to be careful-treading around a new government in a country where new governments have been treated with tremendous skepticism.
Expect the opposition’s research monkeys to have gotten caught up by tomorrow, so we can get all of today’s non-answers, tomorrow!

Legendary Bosses are the epitomy of challenges in the world of Diep.io! They are strong enough and as characterized in the world around them to such a degree that the very fabric of the world shakes in their presence. Legendary Bosses are a massive force to be reckoned with, and can certainly not be taken down alone. It takes a group of a hundred-fold to bring down these massive feared foes to peace and unity. I present to you, the legends of the Realm... the Legendary Bosses.
- Archprophet - An analytical mastermind, and the prophet of Panzer, the Archprophet was his lord's original sealer before reading the tablets of the Tower of Gladii, and realizing his past mistakes. He birthed the Cult of Panzer, and became its unspoken leader, using the words and texts of ages past to guide his maniacal rule. He has spread fear into the hearts of millions, and has gathered many powerful allies to his cause: Free the Great Dark One from his chains.
- Nostradamus - An ancient and arcane golem made of gold and fashioned from obedience. An evil soul, a manifest of a deadly sin, powers and lives within this regal husk. Nostradamus is the cosmic guardian of the Archprophet's secret vault, which locks away all of his treasures, secrets, and sorrows. Nostradamus is greed manifested in a physical form. Shatter the armor and destroy thy evil! Remove the golden stake from the body of life, and relinquish tank-kind from the temptation brought out by this demonic entity.
- Dr. Lacus - The infamous man in the mountain, Dr. Lacus is a genius that has lived since The Old Era, just as the Archprophet had. A couple hundred years after the Dormancy Period, marking the beginning of The Middle Era, the Archprophet sought help from this mythical mad man who lived in a mountain not too far from the Tower of Gladii. And now, through a bondage in the stars imbued by Panzer himself, Dr. Lacus and the Archprophet formed a friendship, mutual trust, and have become unbreakable partners in leading the Cult. Dr. Lacus has created many machines and nightmare contraptions to halt the Tank Empire from victory, and he proves unkillable due to his power of precognition, granted to him by Panzer for his loyalty. Do the best thou can to scare him off... at least for a while.
- War Machine II - The upgraded and newer version of the original War Machine, the War Machine II is the result of years of trial and error by Dr. Lacus to create the perfect automaton that will surely end all who stand against him and the Cult of Panzer, since he has pledged allegiance to their cause. The War Machine II has many more parts, metal shields, even more lasers, things that explode, and multiple ways to end the same victim all at the same time back to back without even looking at them. Don't go poking around the Doctor's lab, and you shouldn't run into it. Of course, everyone wants to know.
- War Machine III - A last resort, in case everything went downhill for the Cult. Also created by Dr. Lacus, it is his most treasured creation and started work on it from day one of his introduction of the world of science. More lights, more weapons, and more metallic pieces of death than both the first and second War Machines combined. It's been kept a secret until somebody accidentally activated it early. As such, the Doctor was forced to reveal it to the world. Because this happening was so random, even its name is conjectural.
- Polygon Mother - It is unknown when this entity came into existence. All that we know is that she created the many Polygons floating around the realm. Panzer created everything else. She has control over every shape in the land, aided with her eight children, and hates the Necromancers who dare take the squares as slaves. Shes not too fond of The Lich either, but puts up with it. She will do anything to kill us because of how we treated the Polygons, even by manifesting herself as the colossal monster we call the Storm of Fragments. When we enter her sub-realm, it's time for us to prove who is in control over the Polygons...
- Others have coined their bosses as Legendary, but nope, they are wrong.
- These ones only pertain to The Tale of Diep.
- And as such, this page was created by ZathusTheMageV.
- These ones only pertain to The Tale of Diep.
- Every boss except the Archprophet and War Machine II so far was originally under another category.
- The Fallen King at one point was a Gladiator Boss. Then he became a Legendary Boss, before finally being lowered to Mega Boss, where he sits now.
- Nostradamus used to be an Event Boss.
- Dr. Lacus originally wasn't even going to be a boss, ha ha.
- War Machine III was promoted from Extended Tale of Diep to actual Tale of Diep.

Public Broadcasting Subsidy: Unnecessary and Irrational
January 3, 2011
Given that the federal budget is more than $1 trillion in the red and that deficits extend into the future as far as the eye can see, federal subsidies to public broadcasting understandably are on the table, says William F. Shughart II, a senior fellow at the Independent Institute.
- The best estimates suggest that, historically, about 15 percent to 20 percent of public broadcasting's operating expenses are financed by federal taxpayers.
- Over the last four years, private donations, both in cash and in kind, accounted for about 33 percent to 39 percent of the public media's annual revenue.
- State and local governments, foundations, colleges and universities, both public and private, contributed another 29 percent of the total.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) was established in 1967 at a time when three national television networks dominated the airwaves. Today, the broadcast media offer a diverse mix of content over the air, and via cable and satellite. Indeed, the History and Discovery channels, Public Radio International, American Public Media and SIRIUS satellite radio, among others, compete effectively with National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) -- and millions of Americans willingly pay for commercially distributed content.
If NPR and public television cannot survive in such an environment without taxpayer subsidies, they should be allowed to go the way of the dodo bird, says Shughart.

Kamal against return of awardsPublished: November 3, 2015
Refusing to join ‘anti-intolerance’ protest as part of which many popular personalities recently decided to return their awards, Kamal Haasan today said he will not return his National award.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, the ‘Ulaga Nayagan’ said, “Nothing will happen by returning these awards except you will insult government or people who gave award with love.”
He further stated: “I am not the one for intolerance. I tolerate all religions though I am not religious. Every five years we should debate intolerance.” Kamal also said “I think they should keep the award, make us proud and continue the fight.”
In Chennai on Monday, Kamal batted for Jallikattu and said that the ban against the traditional bull taming sport should be lifted soon. He said this after inaugurating a photo exhibition on Jallikattu at the Lalit Kala Academy at Egmore in Chennai.

Mary Seacole was 'way ahead of her time'
A statue in honour of the Crimean War heroine Mary Seacole is being built outside St Thomas' Hospital in London.
Author Malorie Blackman told Newsround: "If anyone deserves a statue, it's Mary Seacole".
Mary was a Jamaican woman who cared for many soldiers who were hurt in the Crimean War in the 19th century.
It will be the first statue in the UK to honour a black woman.
Ayshah has been speaking to Malorie to find out why she was so important.


text: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disease characterized by defects in the expression of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Gene therapy offers better hope for the treatment of CF. Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are capable of stable expression with low immunogenicity. Despite their potential in CF gene therapy, gene transfer efficiency by AAV is limited because of pathophysiological barriers in these patients. Although a few AAV serotypes have shown better transduction compared with the AAV2-based vectors, gene transfer efficiency in human airway epithelium has still not reached therapeutic levels. To engineer better AAV vectors for enhanced gene delivery in human airway epithelium, we developed and characterized mutant AAV vectors by genetic capsid modification, modeling the well-characterized AAV2 serotype. We genetically incorporated putative high-affinity peptide ligands to human airway epithelium on the GH loop region of AAV2 capsid protein. Six independent mutant AAV were constructed, containing peptide ligands previously reported to bind with high affinity for known and unknown receptors on human airway epithelial cells. The vectors were tested on nonairway cells and nonpolarized and polarized human airway epithelial cells for enhanced infectivity. One of the mutant vectors, with the peptide sequence THALWHT, not only showed the highest transduction in undifferentiated human airway epithelial cells but also indicated significant transduction in polarized cells. Interestingly, this modified vector was also able to infect cells independently of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan receptor. Incorporation of this ligand on other AAV serotypes, which have shown improved gene transfer efficiency in the human airway epithelium, may enhance the application of AAV vectors in CF gene therapy. © Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. 2008.

Judge Alfred Swersky announced Tuesday he plans to issue a formal opinion denying Citizens for Fauquier County’s request to obtain over 3,000 emails sent between town officials and Amazon representatives.
The request is related to Amazon's proposal to build a 220,000-square-foot, single-story data center in Warrenton at the intersection of Blackwell Road and Lee Highway behind Country Chevrolet. A vote on the proposal is expected Feb. 14.
“Due to time constraints, I am advising you of my opinion in this matter by email to be followed by a formal opinion letter,” Swersky told the Citizens for Fauquier County nonprofit and the town of Warrenton’s attorneys in an email.
“For the reasons I expressed at the hearing held on January 25, 2023, the relief sought by the Petitioner will be denied,” he added. “I interpret the word 'or' in Title 2.2, Section 3705.7 to mean 'and.' The statute, if interpreted otherwise, would be confusing and without any guidance as to which party would get to choose which officer would be exempt, and there is an absence of any guidance to a court as to which officer would be exempt.”
The nonprofit's lawsuit against the town of Warrenton alleged Town Clerk Stephen Clough violated the Virginia Freedom of Information Act by withholding 3,150 emails -- 3,142 by former town manager Brandie Schaeffer and eight by Mayor Carter Nevill -- which Clough said are immune to Freedom of Information Act requests under the state’s executive privilege clause.
CFFC requested the court expedite the hearing, arguing Schaeffer’s emails are a matter of public interest and should be made public before the Town Council votes on Amazon Data Services' request for a special-use permit to build the data center. A public hearing and possible vote is scheduled for Feb. 14 in the Fauquier High School auditorium.
Schaeffer left her position in Warrenton in July to go work for Amazon Web Services, the tech giant's data center arm.
In early January, Nevill handed over the eight emails to the nonprofit days before the town was scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 10.
Additionally, the nonprofit's legal counsel, Michael Brady of Whiteford, Taylor & Preston, said in a brief to the court that the town misunderstood the meaning of the conjunction “or” in Virginia Code 2.2-3705.7, which reads:
“Working papers and correspondence of the Office of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, or the Attorney General; the members of the General Assembly, the Division of Legislative Services, or the Clerks of the House of Delegates or the Senate of Virginia; the mayor or chief executive officer of any political subdivision of the Commonwealth; or the president or other chief executive officer of any public institution of higher education in the Commonwealth.”
Furthermore, the nonprofit contended that the “scope of the withholding” was too broad, and emails received by the town’s executive officer do not qualify as “working papers.”
Brady argued the law does not dually shield Schaeffer and Nevill from a Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, request. Instead, the word “or” designates that only one person may be eligible for an exemption, not the mayor and town manager.
Town Attorney Martin Crim told Swersky he should dismiss the case because the nonprofit had “misinterpreted” the law, arguing the nonprofit had no basis for its position.
Swersky met with the nonprofit and town’s legal counsel on Jan. 25 and asked for more clarity on any legal guidance or precedent that granted him the power to determine who is the chief executive.
Swersky said he would review several examples of emails the town withheld before issuing his opinion. It is unclear if the town’s legal counsel allowed the nonprofit to review sealed copies of the emails provided to the judge.
According to Swersky’s email, he said the “court cannot rewrite the statute” without guidance from the state legislature.
“Further, I find that the withholding of the documents under the chosen exemptions by the town are appropriate as examples of the types of documents that are being withheld,” Swersky said. “I recognize the small sample size; however, there is no indication of bad faith on the part of the town or its counsel. The documents will be held under seal by the Clerk until further order of this or any other appropriate court.”
Swersky denied Citizens for Fauquier County's claims for relief, including the following:
- The town produce all records not exempt by the law.
- The town waive all processing fees for gathering the records.
- For Clough to incur a $2,000 civil penalty “for each public record found to have been withheld in violation of VFOIA."
- The town to pay CFFC’s legal fees.
- Grant additional “legal and equitable relief.”
Mayor Carter Nevill said in a press release he appreciated the “hard work of staff in shouldering the burdens of this lawsuit” and thanked Swersky.
“I have always been confident in the Town’s faithful application of and adherence to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act,” he said.
Kevin Ramundo, president of Citizens for Fauquier County, told FauquierNow that his organization “continues to believe that our case is strong and laying out how the town illegally withheld 1000s of documents regarding its communications with Amazon.”
“We will withhold any further comment about the decision or options available to us until the judge provides a formal opinion,” he added.
Swersky said he would forward a formal letter to the nonprofit and the town of Warrenton’s attorneys “in the near future.”
Horrible problems here. From the top down. Personally don’t care about the data center. The deceptive lack of transparency within our local government is appalling! Will vote accordingly
Now we know what they were hiding: Information worth many weeks of legal time and resource investment to hide! Just assume it was disgusting and repellent and you'll get the right idea -- then vote accordingly.
Welcome to the future, NOVA politics.......SMH
Uh, I am going to be contrary. I see nothing wrong with the data center. These operations require less than 50 employees, the location is perfect and the taxes brought into Fauquier can only help the county's bottom line. Plus in the short term hundreds of construction jobs will be created.
Uh, did you read the article and the comments. This is entirely about the secrecy and lack of transparency surrounding negotiations of the project, and the fact that they are withholding information related to that debacle.....nobody is talking about whether or not they want the data center....at least not in this article/comment section.
This entire "affair" has a certain stink to it! Whatever happened to transparency?
This is beyond bizarre. Carter should resign and ALL of the emails need to be released. It's unbelievable that the Town could mess this up this bad.
There will be appeals, including at the polls, where incumbents will be less appealing for denying citizens a transparent government.
There most certainly is evidence of bad faith.
Why the secrecy if nothing to hide? Sorry Judge, a misapplication of discretion here. People's elected officials are to answer to the people, and the people have spoken loud and clear!
