Everyone seems to agree on one thing when it comes to Lori Saldaña, who’s running to become a county supervisor: She’s a fighter.
Supporters see that as a virtue: As a former three-term state assemblywoman, Saldaña supported environmental reforms and marriage equality before those were popular causes, and pushed legislation considered years ahead of its time.
But a growing and vocal group in Saldaña’s own Democratic Party see her combativeness as a liability, citing battles that have pitted her against likely allies and distracted from the causes she champions.
In her bid to replace termed-out County Supervisor Ron Roberts, who represents much of the city of San Diego, and to serve as a progressive voice on a board long dominated by Republicans, Saldaña has embraced the fighter image.
She promises to bring a different approach to a largely unified Republican-led institution long criticized for not investing more in social services. If elected, there’s a strong chance she’d be the only Democrat on the board – meaning she’d face an uphill battle to win over colleagues on new initiatives or policies.
“I think people want a fighter,” she said.
But Saldaña’s policy fights have been overshadowed the past few years by disputes over party and union endorsements. She failed to win votes from party insiders in an early endorsement vote last fall and the San Diego Democrats for Equality club recently deemed her “unacceptable” in a nearly unanimous vote of dozens of members.
“Look, Lori should be the Democratic nominee on paper, but the reality is that she has burned a series of bridges in ridiculous and abusive conflicts,” said Will Rodriguez-Kennedy, president of the Democrats for Equality. “Many, if not most, are of her own creation.”
Saldaña and her supporters say she’s simply not willing to play the political game.
She speaks at countless public meetings and on social media about issues such as untested rape kits and the needs of homeless San Diegans. In more recent years, she’s lobbied politicians as an activist rather than as a behind-the-scenes insider and for a time, as an independent mayoral candidate.
Saldaña’s political career began in 2004 with a surprise primary victory. Saldaña, a community college instructor who grew up in Clairemont, bested two fellow Democrats in a contentious state Assembly primary and then beat a former Republican assemblywoman that November.
After she took office, Saldaña said she prioritized connecting with constituents rather than politicians and lobbyists.
“I was very focused to be a good policymaker for my constituents – not because I’m focused on my next seat,” Saldaña said. “I ran because I saw problems in my community that I wanted to solve.”
Few of Saldaña’s own bills drew broad attention or acclaim.
Environmentalists did take notice of a 2006 bill that aimed to phase out certain hazardous materials in consumer electronics. The bill died in its first year. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a reworked version the next year.
Advocacy group Californians Against Waste named Saldaña its legislator of the year.
Mark Murray, the group’s executive director, said his organization was impressed with Saldaña’s commitment and believed it would have become law under another governor.
“She introduced that legislation back when it had zero chance of passage, before anyone was even paying attention to this issue,” Murray said.
In the end, Murray said, Saldaña’s legislation indirectly inspired reductions in hazardous materials.
Saldaña also drew kudos for efforts to help military families and veterans. She wrote legislation that made low-income military families eligible to apply for state-funded preschool and eased the transfer process for military families moving from elsewhere.
Saldaña got more attention in her final term in office.
In one of her proudest victories, Saldaña banded with fellow legislators in 2008 to corral votes to make Los Angeles Assemblywoman Karen Bass the first black woman to serve as speaker.
Bass then named Saldaña the state Assembly pro tempore, putting her in charge of managing floor debates and sessions.
Former Assemblywoman Noreen Evans, who befriended Saldaña in Sacramento, said Saldaña effectively managed Assembly floor debates and personalities.
“That is like herding feral cats, and she did it very well,” Evans said.
But any influence Saldaña might have gained in that post or as chair of the Legislative Women’s Caucus didn’t deliver a victory on her most high-profile piece of legislation.
In 2010, Saldaña introduced a controversial bill to ban open carrying of unloaded handguns.
Saldaña and her former staffers weathered protests. For a time, California Highway Patrol officers accompanied Saldaña to hearings, said Lucy Camarillo, Saldaña’s former chief of staff.
But the bill was derailed on Saldaña’s final night in office.
Then-Democratic Assembly Majority Leader Chuck Calderon refused to allow a final vote after the bill cleared the state Senate. Calderon, who did not respond to messages from Voice of San Diego, said at the time he wanted to ensure less controversial bills could go forward.
News stories documented heated confrontations between Saldaña and Calderon that evening.
Years later, Saldaña believes Calderon and then-Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, who both eyed the Assembly speaker post, punished her for supporting Bass. The following year, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a new version of the bill written by Portantino.
Portantino, through a spokeswoman, declined an interview request.
Evans said Saldaña shouldn’t be blamed for the loss. She said Saldaña’s ability to work with others in her leadership role and on budget talks during her time as an Assembly leader, in particular, showed she can team with others on important business.
But Evans and others acknowledge not all fellow lawmakers were fans of Saldaña.
“She’s not afraid to speak up for what she believes in,” Evans said. “That sometimes rubs people the wrong way when they believe in the status quo.”
But some of the folks who were rubbed the wrong way included prospective allies.
Chula Vista Mayor Mary Salas, then a state Assembly newcomer, was assigned to sit next to Saldaña when she was elected more than a decade ago. It didn’t go well.
Salas said Saldaña was often short with her and repeatedly turned away when she tried to greet her.
“I felt so uncomfortable sitting next to her that I asked to be moved,” said Salas, a fellow Democrat who hasn’t endorsed in the supervisors race.
Former state Assemblyman Marty Block, another San Diego Democrat who served with Saldaña, declined to comment on his dealings with Saldaña but spoke about his decision to endorse Saldaña’s opponent Nathan Fletcher, another former state lawmaker.
“I found him easier to work with and more collegial,” Block said, referring to Fletcher.
Saldaña said tensions with Salas and Block reflected her focus on her Assembly leadership role over helping them seek other offices or leadership posts.
Saldaña said she wishes she had developed closer relationships with fellow lawmakers but believes she was able to work effectively with most Republican and Democratic colleagues.
Saldaña’s supporters declare comments like Block and Salas’ sexist. They emphasize that Saldaña is reserved and, as one former staffer put it, “not your stereotypical schmoozy politician.”
“I wonder what people would say about her style if she were a man,” said Dale Kelly Bankhead, secretary-treasurer of the Working Families Council. “She is certainly a person of strong opinions and will happily share them with you, and has goals and a vision and pursues them.”
Bankhead is at the center of one Saldaña’s latest inter-party fights. The Working Families Council is a new labor group born from disputes surrounding a wave of discrimination and sexual assault allegations against powerful labor leader Mickey Kasparian.
Saldaña recently accepted an endorsement from the council that further splintered local union groups. The council has since sunk $50,000 into a political action committee to support Saldaña’s run for supervisor.
Saldaña has defended the endorsement and noted that while she is a sexual assault survivor, she believes Kasparian deserves due process.
That position, coupled with her approach to the scandal surrounding former Mayor Bob Filner, has turned off many local Democrats.
She endorsed Filner for mayor despite her report to a party leader that a handful of women had told her they’d been sexually harassed by Filner. She later criticized the party for its inaction.
Saldaña has said her Filner endorsement came at the behest of party leadership. Former San Diego County Democratic Party Chairman Jess Durfee has said Saldaña or her campaign, not the party, decided she should endorse Filner.
The dispute spurred Saldaña to leave the Democratic Party in September 2014. She returned to the party ahead of her run for county supervisor.
Saldaña’s position has also seemed to shift on Kasparian.
In January, Saldaña tweeted that she “had no plans” to accept money or support from the Working Families Council under Kasparian’s leadership. She had been one of dozens of women to call on Kasparian to resign last year.
A spokesman for Saldaña said the tweet simply meant there was no process or plan for a Working Families Council endorsement as of January.
Saldaña and the Working Families Council two months later touted an endorsement and emphasized Saldaña’s years-long commitment to progressive issues and causes. Her prime Democratic opponent, Fletcher, after all, served for years in the state Assembly as a Republican.
“She has a long history of being a committed progressive leader who gets things done and who has always stood by working people,” Bankhead said.

Meaning of “Ouch” by Bring Me The Horizon
Coming in at just under two minutes, “Ouch” is a short track, almost like an interlude. Also, the intro and bridge consist of basically one expression, “na”, being uttered repeatedly. However, Sykes states that this is his most-personal track yet. It revolves around his unsuccessful marriage to tattoo artist Hannah Snowdon and his take on the matter, looking back on it some two years after their divorce.
“Ouch” starts off with Sykes stating in French, “you killed my baby”. On the surface, this would sound like a reference to abortion. However, a more-accepted interpretation is that Sykes is alluding to the destruction of the relationship and/or is speaking to the Frenchman who his wife cheated with, with that action being the catalyst which ultimately led to the divorce.
The verse of the song is repeated twice though contains almost identical lyrics. In it, Oli says that he knew beforehand the relationship was doomed. He also makes mention of Hannah’s 2016 suicide attempt, which apparently had something to do with their relationship. Additionally, he recalls an event in which Snowdon’s paramour directly interfered in their marriage and basically levied the ultimate dis against him by referring to him as “the devil”. He also expressed astonishment that Snowdon would even sleep with a man like that.

Police officer caught in Ash liquor store video resigns
The police officer, who was placed on leave in April after he was caught in a video allowing government witness Jonathon Ash to sell liquor during a 24-hour curfew, has resigned from the Royal Bahamas Police Force.
Supt Fernander, who provided security detail for Ash under the witness protection program, had his unmarked white police vehicle parked in front of Made Men Sports Bar and stood behind the bar as customers purchased bottles of alcohol illegally while all other liquor stores were shut down for four months.
Fernander is now quitting the police force without facing criminal charges, unlike hundreds of Bahamians who have been arrested and charged with curfew violations including selling coconut water and leaving home during curfew to get water from the pump.
Instead of disciplining Fernander, who stood by and allowed Ash to commit multiple offenses, the senior command allowed the officer to resign from the police force so that he could collect his full pension.
A photo showed Ash handing the police officer something that appeared to be cash outside of the liquor store.
What message does this send to the average Bahamian who has been charged for violating curfew, which some noted attorneys argue is breaching Bahamians constitutional rights?
After they were exposed, Ash was convicted and fined $7,000 in April for breaching curfew while Supt. Fernander and Corporal Knowles, who was caught leaving the liquor store with hands full of alcohol, were placed on leave.
Now that Supt. Fernander has left the force, will Cpl. Knowles also get a slap on the wrist?
Authorities failed to charge Ash with operating the liquor store without a valid business license. The license for the business is in the name of the building’s dead owner, which makes it invalid.
Ash lied to the magistrate and told him he was only helping out a friend and had only been to the liquor store twice but he applied to the courts to have his truckloads of alcohol returned to him after Bahamas Customs raided the business because they could not find evidence that Ash had paid customs duty on the goods.

Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Krefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia share a historic connection: On October 6, 1683, 340 years ago, 13 Quaker and Mennonite families from Krefeld landed in Pennsylvania and founded Germantown. This event remains vivid through many traces to this day, with family ties spanning the Atlantic and centuries. The German-American friendship is still palpable, influencing each other’s way of life. Both cities reference each other, and both still have Mennonite communities.
The “Philadelphia Inquirer” and the “Rheinische Post,” regional and local media in Philadelphia and Krefeld, narrate this special city connection in a joint project called “Krephilly.” It explores the lives of people in Philadelphia and Krefeld who are part of this shared history. “Krephilly” tells the story of how American Krefeld is and how German Philadelphia is. It introduces individuals connected to each other’s city and delves into politics, landmarks, leisure, and culture: What defines Philadelphia and Krefeld today? “Krephilly” also explores the gripping history of people immigrating to a new, unknown world, driven by a longing for freedom. It commemorates a significant human achievement: German immigrants drafted the first anti-slavery petition.
Presented through images, text, and video on the “Philadelphia Inquirer” and “Rheinische Post” websites, social media, and newspapers, “Krephilly” demonstrates how cultural understanding, a quest for freedom, openness, and curiosity persist to this day. It allows readers to actively participate by sharing their thoughts and stories.

Sinn Féin Councillor for the Colin area, Stephen Magennis, slammed those responsible for leaving ‘a device’ at the Colin Road in Poleglass on Tuesday which he said has caused ‘significant disruption to the local community.’
He added: “This is a built up area with many people using a pathway nearby as a short cut which leads up to a school.
“So far the Footprints Women’s centre and its crèche, along with five family homes have had to be evacuated.
“Fortunately we have been able to get the Sally Gardens community centre open should anyone need it.
“This disruption is unacceptable and those who are responsible for this device need to explain to this community what it will achieve.”
Detective Inspector Stuart Griffin said: “This device had the capability to cause serious injury and was left in an open public area where anybody, including children, could have found it.
“I would ask anyone with information about this to contact their local police station on the non emergency number 101 or ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

While this book provides an ample tutorial of wireline data and wireless communications, we did not want to write yet another book on data communications or the basics of cellular wireless systems. Mobile VPN: Delivering Advanced Services in Next-Generation Wireless Systems covers only relevant topics and disciplines comprising Mobile VPN and other advanced wireless data service. Consequently, this book requires a reader to have basic education in computer science and electrical engineering. We also assume you have some exposure to the basics of data communications and cellular wireless concepts, as well as an understanding of OSI model and TCP/IP, and link layer technologies such as PPP, ATM, and Frame Relay.
Reading this book does not require a previous understanding of IP tunneling, wireless data communications, Wireless LAN fundamentals (although knowledge of regular LAN technology is still required), VPN concepts, data networking security, or next-generation cellular systems and services taxonomies. Those readers with a good understanding of these and other related technologies will find in-depth discussions on these and other related subjects especially useful. Sometimes even familiar and well-studied and documented subjects are presented in a new light of application to wireless and mobile VPN.
We tried to make this book useful for a wide audience of professionals and students in wireline and wireless data communications and networking, as well as representatives from other professions, such as investors and financial analysts wishing to gain proficiency in this subject. In particular: Chapters 6, 7, discussing the implementation of Mobile VPNs within particular wireless systems, and Chapter 9, discussing the future directions of wireless data services, offer comprehensive case studies and real-life examples of virtual private network deployments and address practical network design issues such as IP addressing strategies, VPN optimization methods, and practical wireless IP security. This makes this book especially useful to both wireless and wireline data network architects, IT managers, network administrators, and even corporate security officers involved in implementing of real-life systems.
Engineers and product managers involved into implementation and definition of products supporting MVPN functionalities will benefit from our in-depth descriptions of the functionalities of various elements required in next-generation cellular and WLAN systems to offer MVPN services. The analysis of business issues and future trends of MVPN field provided in the first and last chapters should be of special interest to product managers and other professional involved in the product feature decision making and market forecasting.

The St. Johns County Golf Course's new nine holes are open for business, but make sure you bring plenty of extra golf balls if you're thinking about playing a round.
The course snakes through a series of water hazards and woods, and you can lose your ball with almost any shot. But this reporter -- who played the course -- isn't exactly a pro. Besides, the challenge is the fun part.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Record Staff Writer Michael Reed was among the first players on the addition to the St. Johns County Golf Course. Here is his report.
The new holes cost $3.4 million and took almost a year and a half to build. They are mixed into the other 18 holes on the course located off State Road 207 near Interstate 95.
After the grand opening was delayed several months because weather conditions slowed construction, the big day finally came Wednesday.

Players putt on the fourth green.
By PETER WILLOTT, Staff
''We're very happy about it and ready for the public to play it,'' said Wes Tucker, course manager. ''I think they'll be very happy with it.''
With the new nine holes divided evenly between par threes, fours and fives, you have to dig deep into your arsenal because you face a variety of shots. Some of the differences of the new course are the ridges and mounds on the fairways.
''You get carried away with some of the mounding and it's hard to get the right depth,'' Tucker said. ''It's very deceptive.''
The mounds can also turn a good drive on the fairway into a difficult chip with the ball resting above your feet. Tucker said the course has more elevation changes than the older holes, which gives it character.
The greens have dramatic ledges in them as well, forcing either a well-
placed chip or a long up-or-downhill putt. Tucker said the ledges will soften in time.
The course officially opened after various county and St. Augustine officials participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Most played a round of golf afterward.
County Commission Chairman Marc Jacalone was the first to tee off. His drive soared over a marshy hazard and slightly left, but it looked like it landed nicely on the fairway.
Jacalone praised the course's success before his drive.
''Back in '88 when they opened the golf course, there were a lot of naysayers who said it wasn't going to make it,'' he said. ''In fact, it's just the opposite, and the golf course has done very well.''
The new course was built to accommodate the growing number of golfers.
County Administrator Ben Adams said 48,000 rounds were played in 1989 and 73,000 were played in 2000.
However, the green fees had to be raised to pay for the new holes.
During the peak season, January to April, the cost for an 18-round match with a cart will go from $29.50 to $36.32. On weekends throughout the rest of the year, the cost with a cart will go from $29.50 to $32.77. The price for weekdays during this time will remain at $16.50, but the extra $1.32 for a cart -- $11.32 instead of $10 -- will bring the total to $27.82.
The increases will take effect Oct. 1, but the course's newest addition can be played through Sept. 30 for the old rates.

Johnson & Johnson has beefed up its vision portfolio over the past few years, and the effort appears to be paying off.
Vision care sales reached $1.12 billion last quarter, up from $798 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of 34 percent when subtracting currency. When excluding that and an acquisition, revenue grew 9 percent, according to J.P. Morgan.
The company has invested in vision as it refines its medical device group, adding surgical products and a contact subscription service to its lineup of Acuvue contact lenses.
The result is one of the fastest-growing platforms for J&J, particularly in medical devices, said Ashley McEvoy, company group chair of consumer medical devices.
"I would say it really starts with the space of sight, and sight matters, we like to say. It's one of the largest and fastest growing segments in health care, and we think there's still a lot of unmet need," McEvoy said.
J&J entered the eye surgery space in 2016 when it announced it would acquire Abbott Medical Optics. The $4.33 billion deal was completed in early 2017 and gave J&J products for cataract surgery and laser refractive surgery, as well as consumer eye health.
"What (the vision team is) doing is really evolving the business model to better serve more patients, quite frankly, and create a much better customer experience behind some really modern and differentiated technology and ways to service patients," McEvoy said.
The demographics in the vision market are compelling, said Tom Frinzi, worldwide president of surgical at J&J Vision. Eye health represents an $80 billion market, the third largest behind cardiology and oncology, he said. An estimated 253 million people live with vision impairment.
People are living longer and more active lives. They are also undergoing cataract surgery at younger ages. By adding surgical products, J&J says it can now service patients young and old.
"If you just think of the broad-based portfolio, we have everything from prevention to correction and enhancement, all the way through to treatment, and there are not many companies that can bring that to bear on behalf of patients around the world," Frinzi said.
Despite its moves, J&J's vision business still contains gaps. It's not in the retina or glaucoma space, McEvoy said. The latter has seen innovation with minimally invasive surgery.
Glaucoma has typically been treated with eyedrops, an imperfect solution. New surgical options essentially drain fluid from patients' eyes to reduce pressure associated with the disease. J&J is looking at creating its own products in the space, as well as pursuing different strategic partners or acquisitions, McEvoy said.
The contact business still has room to grow, too.
Last quarter, worldwide contact lens sales increased to $807 million from $683 million, or about 14 percent when stripping out currency. When also excluding an acquisition, revenue grew 11 percent, according to J.P. Morgan.
J&J sees opportunities to add new customers and upgrade existing customers to more expensive lenses.
Less than 10 percent of people around the world who could wear contacts do, J&J said. In the U.S., a developed market, that number increases to 28 percent. In emerging markets, such China and Russia, it decreases to 7 percent and 11 percent, respectively.
Glasses being in fashion, misconceptions about who can use contacts and a general fear of putting something in one's eye are stunting new customer growth in developed markets, said Aldo Denti, vice president of global franchise development for J&J's eye health business.
But more people are switching from monthly reusable contacts to daily disposal lenses. Meanwhile, more people are choosing specialty lenses meant for people with astigmatism (a deviation from spherical curvature of the eye) or presbyopia (farsightedness).
Specialty contacts sales grew by double digits last year. They account for 30 to 35 percent of contact revenue, but that number should increase, J&J said.
Last week, the Food and Drug Administration approved J&J's light adaptive contacts. They use technology from Transitions Optical, the company behind the glasses that adjust based on brightness.
Within five years, McEvoy expects J&J to offer contact lenses that contain medication.
Vision remains a hot growth platform that's still in it's early days.
"And we will take full advantage of not just what the medical device capabilities bring to us, but the consumer capabilities, the pharma capabilities, the surgical and market access capabilities," she said. "I think what you're seeing is a little bit of a learning lab of what J&J looks like on our best day."

Though the World Tournament has been revived since 2006, Van Boening has not accepted his invite previously until now.
Van Boening has won a myriad of titles including the US Open 9-Ball, the International 10-Ball Championship, as well as many 8-Ball and Derby City One Pocket titles. But he is missing Straight Pool, the father of all other games. I asked him about his favorite games in order. “If I had to choose my favorite game, it would be barbox 8-Ball. There’s no luck. 10-Ball, 9-Ball…you have to be lucky after the break to get a good shot on the 1-Ball. One Pocket is a good game.” How about straight pool ? Shane shrugs his shoulders , “I’ll try it.”
One time he met Willie Mosconi with his grandfather. “Mosconi tells Shane, you can be the best in the world. And even implied better than him if he practiced”, said Gary. “But I don’t think Shane could beat Willie in his prime. Not yet. It was different games they both play, but Mosconi was pretty amazing. But I’d love to see Shane play 14.1. I think he could win that,too.”
Through additional support from such sponsors such as Olhausen Tables, Championship Cloth, Aramith Balls, Amsterdam Billiards, Pool & Billiard Magazine, Master Chalk, and now FURY Cues, the absolute best pool players from around the world will arrive on the birth country of 14.1 once more to attend this prestigious event. All to vie for the coveted title of greatest straight pool player in the world.
“As a USA manufacturer, Championship Cloth believes in supporting events on American soil. This is the second consecutive year we have been chosen as the Official Cloth of the event and we are thrilled at the player’s reception of the quality of our product. We welcome all the professionals from around the world to the World Tournament”, said Mike Serra ,Chairman of the BCA and Vice-President of Championship Cloth & Brands.

After a long winter of grey skies, white snow, and brown grass, we long for the fresh colors and tastes of spring! Our ancestors tired of stored potatoes, onions, and apples over the winter and cooked many wild greens as soon as they appeared. This added not only vital nutrients but also variety to their limited diet. While modern grocery stores sell produce from around the world and we are not quite so restricted, the price, taste, and quality of these imported foods often leave something to be desired.
In Central New York where I live (and earlier in warmer climates), the month of May brings fresh asparagus, rhubarb, spinach, and broccoli to the market. Now is the time when they will have the best value, taste and texture. No need to resist their perky, colorful allure! These vegetables are packed with nutrients and phytochemicals. For example, asparagus is high in folic acid and potassium, rhubarb is a good source of calcium, spinach is sky-high in vitamin A and provides vitamin C, and broccoli is a great source of vitamin C and good source of vitamin A.
Most vegetables are best enjoyed with limited heat and water, such as steaming and microwaving. However asparagus keeps its texture better when quickly roasted over high heat in a dry pan. Leftover vegetables (if there are any!) are great when tossed into a frittata, added to a cold salad, or stirred into soup. Enjoy each fresh vegetable frequently while it is in season and, when the next crop comes in, you will be ready for a change!

In the early 14th century Bologna was an intellectual centre of international character. The influence of manuscript miniatures of French style could be seen in some very original frescoes which were free of Tuscan influence, such as those of Vitale da Bologna and Tommaso da Modena.
In the 15th century Francesco Francia made popular the Umbrian gentleness in northern Italy. In the Mannerist period Francesco Primaticcio and Niccolò dell'Abbate played an important part in introducing the Mannerist landscape to France.
Generally the term Bolognese School denotes the school of Italian painting which in the 16th and 17th centuries was the centre of classicism as taught by the Carracci Academy. Distinguished Bolognese painters include Albani, Domenichino, Guercino, Lanfranco and Reni, several of them were influential in the development of the Baroque style in Rome.
In the most restricted sense, Bolognese school means the works produced and the theories expounded by the late 16th- and early 17th-century Italian painters Lodovico Carracci and his cousins, the brothers Agostino and Annibale Carracci. Although each was different in temperament and inclination, the three Carraccis cooperated in a number of early works, especially fresco cycles. Disturbed by the excesses of the Mannerist painters, they took it upon themselves to reform art through a process of research and experiment. Professing the superiority of direct observation, they drew from the actual model. Their clear, simple, direct pictures fit well the demands of the Counter-Reformation that in religious art there be no barriers between observer and object. Around 1585 the cousins formed the Accademia degli Incamminati (Academy of the Progressives) in order to foster their ideas and to train young painters.
The activity of the Bolognese school caught the attention of Cardinal Odoardo Farnese, and Annibale was invited to Rome in 1595 to decorate first the ceiling of the Camerino and later that of the Galleria in the Palazzo Farnese. A short time later Agostino joined his brother, as did a number of the Carracci pupils, among them Domenichino, Guido Reni, Albani, and Lanfranco. The result was that what had hitherto been an essentially regional movement became the most influential force in Italian Baroque painting. The complex of painted episodes on the vault of the Farnese Galleria, showing the loves of the pagan gods and goddesses, became the new "academy," and greatly influenced later masters. In addition to his work in the Palazzo Farnese, Annibale Carracci is credited with establishing the rules for the heroic landscape.
Lodovico never went to Rome but remained in Bologna where he continued to paint until his death. In 1622 Guido Reni returned to Bologna and became the leading painter there, and the Bolognese school after his arrival was ruled by Reni's tempered classicism.
The leading Bolognese painter of the first half of the 18th century was Giuseppe Maria Crespi. He was influenced mainly by the Carracci and Guercino, and by his visits to Venice, Parma, Pesaro and Urbino. His chiaroscuro and warm palette enhance a very personal sense of form and a frequently popular treatment of subjects.

Following on from Ke$ha’s seemingly unlikely (to her non-fans, anyway) cover of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”, Miley Cyrus has premiered the official music video for her own Bob Dylan cover “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go”, which is lifted from Amnesty International’s upcoming four-disc Bob Dylan tribute album, Chimes of Freedom.
The reaction to Miley’s cover has been, in some parts, one of patronizing shock and surprise. The Bostan Herald prefixed their review by mentioning how some people won’t like pop stars covering Dylan, before recommending the song and then warning readers not to actually watch the video, because: “The sight of Miley’s painted face singing “You’re Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go” is just too weird.” The confused reviewer then ended by calling it, “the best country ballad of this young decade.”
Meanwhile, MTV Buzzworthy launched into a big spiel about how Miley’s cover should be taken seriously, only half-jokingly asking readers not to laugh at the declaration.
Even the song’s producer Jeff Ayeroff had to explain the Miley cover in a statement, justifying it to those who have shown skepticism.
Some critics may be surprised, but I don’t know why. It was fairly obvious since Miley first unleashed her nasally voice all those years ago that she was built for the world of country, rock, and blues, rather than Top Forty Dr. Luke tunes. That was made all the more clear during her defining Gypsy Heart tour, where I was fortunate enough to see Miley slaying Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” and Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” live.
Hilary Duff will always be my favorite Disney diva, but Miley is probably the most talented one. Her “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” cover is truly stunning, and positions Cyrus exactly where she should be musically. And with country music being so big in America, a move into the genre could be the thing that revives Miley’s music career. It’s a win-win situation, so what’s the hold up?
Give us that country album, Milegend!


Joe Biden did not have any good reasons for hugging and shaking hands at strangers during Thursday’s event in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley.
“How long do you think people might have to wear masks again?” a reporter asked. Watch his response:
“Well, if you notice a lot of places people don’t have to wear masks,” Biden claimed. “Let’s get that straight.”
“The places where people have gotten vaccinated, where we have a high vaccination rate, people do not have to wear masks at all,” he went on. “Like some of you who were with me yesterday when I was up in Lehigh Valley, didn’t have to wear masks there.”
“Don’t have to mask if you come home to Delaware with me,” he added. “I know you love doing that. You don’t have to wear a mask.”
“The places people are probably going to have to wear masks in those communities where the high rate of unvaccinated stays high, and they don’t move,” he said. “They don’t move to getting vaccinated, but I think you’re going to find the patience of businesses and the patience of a lot of other people running thin because the fact is if you had high vaccination rates, we wouldn’t be in this spot right now.”
Biden’s claims don’t match reality, however. Biden was seen hugging and shaking hands with strangers in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Pres. Biden in Allentown, Pennsylvania, after remarks on manufacturing … pic.twitter.com/94yv6a2vt7— Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) July 28, 2021
Even CNN called Biden out for his “malarky” on what the guidance says.
Biden suggested that in New Castle, Delaware where he lives, the vaccine rates are high, so he didn’t need to wear a mask. Jake Tapper questioned if that was true.
“That’s not the case,” Kaitlan Collins replied. “The reason he did not have to wear a mask when he went there the other day is because they had a moderate level of transmission, not substantial or high. Which are the two levels. I don’t think most people know which area they live in. It changes as they update the guidance. It raises a lot of questions.”
“There at the end you saw the president grow quite animated,” she continued. “He was asked about what he did say not that long ago, if you have been vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask. He was saying what we’ve heard from a lot of health officials, which is they are working on a rolling basis with changing science and data and evidence here, and clearly the level of concern is real about the Delta variant. He said cases are going to go up. We have not heard that from him in a long time.”
CNN may try to make it seem like Biden is following the CDC’s new guidelines. Biden broke both the social distancing and mask protocols for indoor events. The CDC’s updated guidance has been used by the Capitol Physician and Speaker of the House to restore mask mandates for vaccinated persons.
The President of the United States should be a leader. His health should be considered one of his top priorities. Why should the American people care if the president doesn’t take the virus threat seriously?

The incidents of groping and molestation in flights are increasing at a high rate which is a matter of great concern in regard to the safety of women. Recently a man got arrested by the Guwahati police on the charges of s*xually harassing a woman on flight which was heading to Guwahati from Mumbai. This was the fourth case of s*xual harassment in the last two months and all of them involved the in-board passengers.
As per the reports, the woman who was seated on the aisle seat lowered the armrest and fell asleep after the lights got dimmed but when she woke up, she saw that the armrest was up and the passenger sitting next to her was leaning on her. She said that she found it a little weird as she remembered lowering down the armrest but she didn’t want to jump to conclusions so she waited a little.
After some time, her co-passenger touched her private parts. She wanted to scream but she froze; however, soon she gathered courage and as the passenger groped her next time, she shouted and switched on the lights. The man started apologizing as she told everyone what he was doing.
An FIR has been registered and the man was handed over to the Guwahati police, the woman thanked the airline, airport authorities, CISF and all those who helped in filing a case against the man.

Yesterday the designer’s career imploded as Dior fired him for making racist comments. The signs of trouble were there
Perhaps Natalie Portman’s condemnation — a rare example of a celebrity speaking out when there are commercial issues at stake — put the final nail in the coffin. Recently anointed a face of Parfums Christian Dior, the Oscar-winning actress yesterday issued a statement disassociating herself from John Galliano in the wake of the damning video showing him making anti- Semitic comments and praising Hitler.
“I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today,” stated Portman. “In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated

NTHU professor Jou has been researching the hazards of blue light for many years, warning us against the hazards of modern lighting and focusing on OLED lighting as the technology that enables low blue-light emission lighting.
Last month Huawei launched its P30 and P30 Pro smartphones (with a 6.1" 1080x2340 AMOLED on the P30 and a 6.47" 1080x2340 AMOLED on the P30 Pro). Reports from China suggested that Huawei adopted SDC AMOLED for the P30 and BOE-made panels on the P30 Pro.
According to Anandtech, who posted an extensive review of the P30 and P30, the supplier for the smaller 6.1" AMOLED on the P30 is indeed Samsung Display, but Huawei uses both LG Display and BOE as suppliesr for the large 6.47" AMOLED on the P30 Pro.
Only yesterday we reported that early reviews of the Galaxy Fold are very positive and that Samsung says there's overwhelming demand for the new foldable device - and today we have much less positive news.
At least 4 early Galaxy Fold reviewers report that only after one day of use, the screens on their devices broke. The Verge's Dieter Bohn says that a bump appeared on the crease of the phone, which quickly broke the screen - even though he did not perform any stress tests or anything - just normal phone use.
Samsung says there's overwhelming demand for the Galaxy Fold, T3 says it could truly change smartphone design
Samsung Display started to accept pre-orders for the Galaxy Fold a few days ago (April 14th) - and the company says it is already sold out due to "overwhelming demand" and it is no longer taking pre-orders
This is great news, especially as many questioned whether customers will be willing to pay $2,000 for a foldable smartphone. Of course Samsung's foldable OLED production capacity is limited so this demand may not be actually very high.
Google's 2017 Pixel 2 XL was one of the first phones to adopt LG Display's pOLEDs (6" 1440x2880) - and initial reviews of the display were rather dismal - as both reviewers and customers complained about bad color reproduction, graininess and problematic viewing angles. Many users also reported serious image retention issues.
In 2017, Google used Samsung's Super AMOLED displays in the smaller in 2017. This year, for the 2018 Google Pixel 3, Google chose SDC's 6.3" 1440x2960 Super AMOLED for the larger Pixel 3 XL - with proved to be a top-notch display. For the smaller Pixel 3, Google picked LG Display's 5.5" 1080x2160 - probably hoping that LGD managed to improve its displays - and most importantly its quality controls.
The Washington Post's Geoffrey A. Fowler posted an interesting article in which he details how new smartphones are under-performing older ones in terms of battery life. Geoffrey puts 12 smartphones to the same test, and checks which ones dies first.
It is interesting that the new 2018 smartphones under performs similar smartphones released in 2017. Geoffrey's conclusion is that new display technology - high resolution OLEDs, are the culprit. The main reasoning behind that is that the iPhone XR (with its LCD display) performs better than the iPhone XS, even though the XR has a smaller display.
A few days ago Huawei started shipping the Mate 20 Pro with its 6.39" 1440x3120 (538 PPI) AMOLED display made by BOE. The phone is only shipping in China at the moment, but some users are complaining about a green tint issue.
This seems to be a similar issue that happened on some of Apple's iPhone X OLED displays (which are produced by Samsung Display).
Display measurement experts Display Mate posted an in-depth review of the Google Pixel 3 XL 6.3" 1440x2960 AMOLED display. The display wins DisplayMate's highest ever Overall Display Assessment Grade of A+ together with a DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Award.
DisplayMate says that Google now joins Apple and Samsung as the top tier of smartphone displays. The Google 3 XL display is on par with the AMOLED display used in Samsung's Galaxy S9. Interestingly, it turns out that Samsung Display provides this 6.3" AMOLED display to the Pixel 3 XL, while LG Display is likely to be the supplier for the smaller 5.5" 1080x2160 display used in the Pixel 3.
Apple recently launched its latest smartwatch - the Watch Series 4. It seems that at least some customers are complaining about a strong blue off-angle blue tint on the new OLED display. Some of these customers say that the tint is stronger compared to previous generation Watch devices - and also stronger than the tint on the iPhone X and LG OLED TVs.
It's not clear whether this is a real issue or not at this stage - we only have heard of a few customers complaining so far. But this is interesting as Apple has adopted its new LTPO backplane technology in the Watch 4, which could be responsible for the stronger tint (Is this the beginning of LTPO-gate?). All previous Watch devices used flexible AMOLED displays made by LG Display. We do not know yet whether LGD is still the exclusive supplier, or whether Apple added Samsung Display as its second source (or even exclusive).
DisplayMate has posted a comprehensive review of the Apple iPhone XS Max display - a 6.5" 1242x2688 AMOLED display. DisplayMate has found that this display is highly impressive - with a close to text-book perfect calibration and performance. The display has been found to be on par with the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 display.
The high performance display led us to ask DisplayMate's Raymond Soneira about the producer of this display - and he confirms our estimation - the iPhone XS Max's display was produced by Samsung Display. In the past months we have heard many reports claiming that Apple contracted LG Display to produce this 6.5" AMOLED, and now we have proof that eventually Apple chose to keep Samsung as its exclusive supplier for Smartphone AMOLEDs, at least for now.

Profile Bio Text
Sarah Margaret Hagan (born May 24, 1984) is an American television and movie actress.
Hagan was born in Austin, Texas. She has been acting since the age of six, when her mother first signed her up for musical theater. Hagan was first involved with theater campanies such as Houston`s Playhouse 1960, the Houston Grand Opera (where she sang in the children`s chorus), the Crighton Playhouse, the Houston Music Hall and the Bitter Truth Theater. From there, she made her screen debut in the 1997 feature film Faith, where she played the title character at age 13; her TV debut came on an episode of the Calista Flockhart series Ally McBeal in 1999.
Hagan`s first major break came when she was cast in a recurring role as Millie Kentner on the short-lived NBC cult TV series Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000). Following that show`s cancellation, she was cast on the David Alan Grier NBC sitcom DAG, where she was originally slated to play Camilla Whitman, daughter of the US President; however, the role of Camilla was recast when the pilot episode was revamped before airing.
Following the lead of several fellow Freaks and Geeks cast members, Hagan then appeared in an episode of the short-lived Fox sitcom Undeclared in 2001. Her next roles were a bit part in the Jack Black movie Orange County and a guest role as Melissa in Boston Public in 2002. After that, she was cast as Amanda in the seventh and final season of the hit cult series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
In recent TV roles, Hagan appeared on the ABC medical drama Grey`s Anatomy as Devo, a teenage girl whose religious beliefs conflict with getting treatment for a heart condition she was diagnosed with; she appeared on the NBC drama Medium, playing a character named Suzannah, a friend of Allison`s (Patricia Arquette) who appeared in two dreams flashing back to Allison`s teen years; and she played the role of Patricia on an episode of the CBS legal drama Close to Home. She made her first venture into animation in 2007 when she played the voice of Lola Llama on an episode of the Cartoon Network series My Gym Partner`s a Monkey.
Hagan next appeared in the direct-to-DVD Warner Bros. comedy features Spring Breakdown (which was released on June 2, 2009), alongside Saturday Night Live cast members Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch; she plays Truvy, the friend of a college co-ed (Amber Tamblyn) who is also the daughter of a powerful senator. She will also portray Natalie in the upcoming comedy film Thunder Geniuses.

I’m putting together many of my notes from the Building an Online Presence for Writers class as well as the various blog posts I have done about online promotion and notes from the Near + Far book launch campaign in an e-book by the same name that I hope to release at the end of September or October, along with another e-book, Podcasting for Speculative Fiction Writers, written with Folly Blaine.
So far, it looks as though the Building an Online Presence book will be between 50 and 60 thousand words altogether, and include a number of screenshots. It’s aimed at both writers just beginning their careers and wanting to build their online presence as well as mid and later career writers who want to refine their online presence. Right now it’s a little under half-drafted, with about 27k laid out in the Scrivener project (which is GREAT for nonfiction works like this).
One of the things that I think will make it useful to writers is that I try to give you examples for the various concepts I talk about. I include all of the blog posts from the Near + Far book launch as well as screenshots showing the book’s presence on various social networking sites, and in each case provides some notes about SEO strategies, tags, images, All and other promotional considerations that affected the construction of the post. Getting a chance to see the campaign in action will be a valuable chance to see the concepts in action.
Topics that are covered include: building a fan base, the minimum web presence you should have as a writer, what to blog about, how to use social networks such as Facebook, G+, Pinterest, and Twitter to publicize your books, free tools that will help you maximize your online presence, maintaining your privacy, podcasting and videocasting, maintaining multiple identities on the Internet, how to write a press release for your book, how to take mobile devices into consideration when shaping your online presence, and how to measure your success at all of these in a way that will help you shape your Future strategy.
If you’re interested in signing up to be notified when the book comes out, please sign up here.

Chibbs is quite the little character. He loves car rides as much as most dogs. He walks on a leash and I didnt have to spend any time at all getting him used to the harness. He is very carefree. He loves to cuddle and sleep with my husband and I every night. He goes to assisted living facilities qith me and does so good with the residents. Hes a natural charmer. And such a ham! Lol my female dsh rescue loves him too....except she is 4 1/2 yts old and he just turned one so his playfullness level is a bit higher than hers and he annoys her sometimes. Bit they never fight, just play fight. I can say Chibbs, wanna go for a ride and he perks right up! He watches out the car window and after awhile he curls up on my lap. If we are traveling a very short distance he rides like that but if we are going in the city or driving far he is put in his carrier.

He said the university will be established in Sirsi for a comprehensive study of the environment, horticulture, agriculture, biodiversity, wildlife protection, population development, and economy in the district. The university will offer traditional education such as arts, commerce, and science degrees. He announced that a grant would be given in this budget for the establishment of this composite university.

Over 40% of voters think Democrats will try to impose socialist policies on U.S. if they win Senate
Less than one-third of those polled disagreed.
The Facts Inside Our Reporter’s Notebook
A plurality of voters think Democrats will attempt to install socialist policies across the country if they win control of the Senate next month, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
Forty-three percent of those surveyed said Democrats will "try to impose socialist policies on the nation" if they secure a majority of seats in the Senate following special elections in Georgia next month. Just 31% of voters felt otherwise, while 25% were unsure.
The two 2020 Senate races in Georgia were forced into runoffs after candidates in each of races failed on Nov. 3 to secure a majority of votes. Democrats, if they win both races, will have a 50-50 split in the now-GOP-controlled chamber. But Democrat Joe Biden's running-mate, Kamala Harris, would as vice president have the tie-breaking vote.
Georgia has become a political hotbed in the weeks since, with President Trump and Joe Biden each pushing aggressively for voters to turn out and elect their respective fellow party-members.
The survey was taken by 1,200 registered voters and conducted by Rasmussen from Dec. 10-12.

Bail set at $25k for Keene woman charged in friend’s hit-and-run death
Tracy A. Burroughs, 41, of Keene, was indicted on charges of negligent homicide, conduct after an accident and two counts of aggravated driving while intoxicated by the Cheshire County Superior Court Grand Jury on Jan. 31.
On Monday, Superior Court Judge John Kissinger set her bail at $25,000 cash.
She continues to be held at the Cheshire County House of Corrections. Her trial is scheduled to start May 24.
He was riding his bicycle home when the hit and run took place. According to the indictment, he suffered traumatic blunt force trauma, including a broken leg, a skull fracture and damage to his brain.
An indictment is not a ruling of guilt, but a determination by the grand jury that prosecutors have enough evidence to move forward with a trial.

“Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is an old school mystery set firmly in tech-loving, modern day San Francisco. Clay Jannon (former web designer) lands a job at a bookstore with very few patrons and even fewer purchases. His curiosity leads him to the discovery of a larger conspiracy at play, one exciting enough to rope in his best friend (CEO at a startup) and love interest (works at Google). As Clay and company unravel the puzzles of Mr. Penumbra's book shop, the story turns into a sort of nerdy heist, with real-life gadgets, secret societies, and a lot of things to say about the past, present, and future of reading. Sloan originally self-published Mr. Penumbra as a short story through Kindle Direct Publishing, before expanding it to its current form with a traditional print publisher--a fitting trajectory for a fast, fun story that has so wholly and enthusiastically embraced the tension between the digital and analog books. --Kevin Nguyen
If you are into technology and love bookstores, you will love this book. I liked the characters and the story during the first part of the story but then the second half kind of feel apart for me. I lost interest and it was a struggle for me to finish the book. I think the story was an interesting concept but the book lacked real mystery and action which I believe was the problem why I lost interest.

Quinta Do Crasto Colheita Port
Old Vines (several grape varieties)
Porto, Douro, Portugal
Quinta do Crasto Colheita is an old Tawny produced from a single year with grapes coming exclusively from the oldest vineyards of Quinta do Crasto. It ages in oak casks from the harvest year until it is bottled. This wine is a tribute from the 4th generation of the family to Fernando Moreira d’Almeida, son of the famous Port producer Constantino de Almeida, reflecting his wisdom in the elaboration of Port wines of excellence. An elegant beginning that leads way to a full-bodied palate, with a complex texture of fine tannins in perfect harmony with a vibrant aromatic profile. An engaging wine, with an elegant, long lingering finish.
- Old Vines (several grape varieties)
|Intensity||Light bodied||Full bodied|
The Duoro Valley in Portugal is one of the most improbable regions for grape growing in the wold. Sheer cliffs overlook the sleepy river as it cuts its way from Spain to the Atlantic and soils of crumbling, flaky schist withstand tortuously hot summers and skin-cracking winters. But clinging to the valley sides, at gasp-inducing angles, is the stunning vineyard of the Quinta do Crasto run by brothers Miguel and Tomas Roquette
The region is so beautiful that it is demarcated as a world heritage site. The quinta (Portuguese for ‘vineyard’) has been in the Roquette family for over a century and the ancient history of the site is signified in the name Crasto, coming from the latin castrum, a Roman fort or castle.
Location, location, location!
But it’s not just for the view that we import Crasto wines. The vineyard sits high-up on the northern side of the Douro, thus at a southerly aspect to the sun. The wines from just across the river tend to be more tannic and austere due to poorer sunlight, while the Crasto brother’s wines are deeper, fruitier and much more intense. This is why we visit any new vineyards that we work with. It is just so important to witness all those particulars that conspire to make a plot remarkable rather than just acceptable.
"Complex, vintage port is one of the wine world's most underrated luxuries. At around €150 a bottle, it represents a relative bargain compared to, for example, Bordeaux classed growths, like Chateau Lynch-Bages 2010 at around €384 a bottle. There is, however, one vintage port at a third of this price. This is Tawny Colheita, port aged in barrels rather than bottle, so the colour is leeched from deep red, to amber, producing glorious nutty, Christams cake tones. This from revered producer Crasto is a multi-layered delight, ideally served chilled and perfect for those cold autumn evenings."

The steep sides of the Douro valley are carved from flaky schist that traps the heat of the sun, concentrating the blistering heat of the Portuguese summers. What’s more, the lazy progress of the Douro river provides little relief from the heat. The minim
