Manuscript, Messianic Calculations Written by the Yismach Moshe, Omitted by His Grandson the Yitav Lev of Sighet in the Printed Version / Five Novellae Revealed to the Yismach Moshe in Dreams – With Glosses Handwritten by the Editors, His Descendants the Yitav Lev Rebbe of Sighet and Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum Rabbi of Laposch
Manuscript leaves, novellae of the Yismach Moshe which were being prepared for print, with the glosses of his descendants the Yitav Lev Rebbe of Sighet and Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum Rabbi of Laposch, with differences compared to the printed version and unpublished sections:
• Two manuscript leaves, aggadic novellae and homiletics on Torah portions, Neviim, Ketuvim and Megillot, by R. Moshe Teitelbaum Rabbi of Ujhel (Sátoraljaújhely) – the Yismach Moshe. Written by a scribe. With two glosses handwritten by Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum Rabbi of Sighet – the Yitav Lev, [Gorlitz? 1849-1851]; and with many glosses handwritten by Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum Rabbi of Laposch (Târgu Lăpuș), [Laposch, 1900s].
Two large-format leaves, written on both sides (two columns per page). Copying of the Yismach Moshe's novellae on Aggadah and homilies, in preparation for printing.
A section discussing the topic of Mashiach and the time of its coming is recorded at the end of the first leaf, continuing at the beginning of the second leaf. This section was published in the book Yismach Moshe, Parashat Ki Tissa. In the present manuscript, the Yismach Moshe reckons that the Final Redemption should take place in the 5500s (1740-1840). He explains that the time of the Redemption is alluded to by the letter Vav of G-d's name – the sixth century of the six millennium (i.e. 5500s), and the sixth year of one of the decades of that century (i.e. 5566, 5576, 5586 etc. – 1806, 1816, 1826). However, since this section was eventually printed only in 1851, after the dates indicated by the Yismach Moshe had already elapsed, the Yitav Lev placed it in parentheses to indicate that it should not be printed, and wrote instead: "And the exact time in that millennium is hidden to us". The Yitav Lev also wrote an introductory sentence to this section.
• Six leaves, aggadic novellae and homiletics, including five novellae revealed to the Yismach Moshe in his dreams. In most of them, the Yitav Lev added transition sentences in his handwriting, [Gorlitz? 1849-1851]; with many glosses handwritten by Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum Rabbi of Laposch, [Laposch, 1900s].
Six large-format leaves, written on both sides (two columns per page), copying of the novellae in Aggadah and homily of the Yismach Moshe, in preparation for printing. The leaves contain the following dreams:
1. On Motzaei Shavuot it was revealed to him that the Arizal lived 34 years in order to repair what Bilam damaged in the 34 years of his life. This was published in Yismach Moshe on the Torah, Parashat Balak. The section begins with a gloss handwritten by the Yitav Lev (who added the verse to which the section relates to).
This is one of the renowned dreams of the Yismach Moshe, and it is quoted and explained in many books, which discuss the various questions which arise from this dream. See enclosed material.
2. On the eve of Wednesday Parashat Bo 1794, the Yismach Moshe dreamed an answer to a difficulty raised by Tosafot on the topic of a stolen Lulav. This was published in the book Yismach Moshe on the Torah, Parashat Emor. With several transition sentences handwritten by the Yitav Lev. One of the sentences of the Yitav Lev was deleted and not printed (tears to some glosses, affecting text).
3. The Yismach Moshe was explained in his dream the reason for the saying of the sages, that G-d is more particular about the honor of the Tzaddik than His own honor. This was published after being edited in Yismach Moshe on the Torah, Parashat Behaalotecha. With a gloss handwritten by the Yitav Lev. In addition, at the end of this section there is an instruction for the editor handwritten by the Yitav Lev, as to the location of this section in the book.
4. A dream from Thursday night, Parashat Miketz, 5th night of Chanukah, Erev Rosh Chodesh Tevet 1801 in Shinova. This was published in Yismach Moshe on the Torah, Parashat Beshalach. With glosses handwritten by the Yitav Lev.
Another dream is mentioned further on the same page.
This leaf contains other passages with glosses handwritten by the Yitav Lev. Enclosed is the subsequent leaf (the leaves are numbered 11-12), also with glosses handwritten by the Yitav Lev.
5. It was revealed to the Yismach Moshe in a dream that the one who reads the Torah portion in public must first forgive everyone, so that he bears no grudge on any Jewish person. This was published in Yayin HaRekach by the Yismach Moshe, Orach Chaim section 141.
The writings of the Yismach Moshe contain many wondrous novellae revealed to him in dreams. As his great-grandson Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum Rabbi of Laposch writes in his book Tehillah LeMoshe: "His visions and dreams were wondrous, and he stated that his dreams are a form of prophecy, and several times he explained in his dream sharp and witty teachings".

Rebbe Moshe Teitelbaum Rabbi of Ujhel (Sátoraljaújhely; 1759-1841) was an illustrious Chassidic leader in Hungary and Galicia. An outstanding Torah scholar and G-dly Kabbalist, sharp and well versed in all facets of Torah, revealed as well as hidden. During his lifetime he was renowned as a holy G-dly man and a wonder-worker benefiting from Divine Inspiration. He first served as rabbi of Shinova (Sieniawa) from 1785-1808, and in 1808, was appointed rabbi of Ujhel and its region. At first, R. Moshe was an opponent of Chassidut, and in his youth, he travelled to Vilna to study Torah from the Gaon of Vilna (R. B. Landau, HaGaon HeChassid MiVilna, p. 291, in the name of R. Zalman Weber. The Klausenburg Rebbe cites an interesting testimony from that visit, which his great-grandfather the Yismach Moshe related about the conduct of the Gaon of Vilna with his disciples – Responsa Divrei Yatziv, Part IV, Yoreh De'ah, section 131). Over the years, R. Moshe gravitated towards Chassidut, influenced by his son-in-law R. Aryeh Leib Lifshitz of Vishnitsa, author of Responsa Aryeh D'Vei Ila'i, who convinced him to travel to the Chozeh of Lublin. There, R. Moshe saw revelations of Divine Inspiration, and became the Chozeh's close disciple, adhering to Chassidut and disseminating its doctrines. This transformation took place while he was still serving as rabbi of Shinova. He also travelled to the Ohev Yisrael of Apta. From 1815, R. Moshe began distributing amulets to those requiring salvation and "the pen cannot properly describe the wonders performed by those amulets". Reputedly, he deliberated whether to continue writing amulets until he heard a pronouncement from Heaven: "Do not fear for I am with you" (Tehillah LeMoshe). Until this day, most of the texts of amulets and "protections" in Ashkenazi countries are attributed to the Yismach Moshe, including the printed text of the "Protection for the infant and the mother" and "Protection from epidemic". The text of the renowned Kerestir amulets, inscribed by Chassidic rebbes for safeguarding home and property, also originates from him.
His published writings include the well-known books of homiletics – Yismach Moshe on the Torah, Megillot and on Talmudic Aggadot, Tefillah LeMoshe on Tehillim, Responsa Heshiv Moshe and other books. His book Maayan Tahor, with the laws of Niddah in Yiddish for Jewish women, was appended to many siddurim.
Rebbe Yekutiel Yehuda Teitelbaum – the Yitav Lev (1808-1883), son of R. Elazar Nisan Teitelbaum Rabbi of Sighet, and son-in-law of R. Moshe David Ashkenazi – rabbi of Tolcsva who immigrated to Safed. He was a close disciple of his grandfather the Yismach Moshe – Rebbe Moshe Teitelbaum Rabbi of Ujhel, who drew him especially close and disclosed to him Heavenly revelations which he had perceived with Divine inspiration. He was also a disciple of Rebbe Asher Yeshaya of Ropshitz. In 1833 (at the age of 25), he was appointed rabbi of Stropkov, and after the passing of his illustrious grandfather, he was selected to succeed him as rabbi of Ujhel. He was then appointed rabbi of Gorlitz (Gorlice), and later of Drohobych. In 1858, he went to serve as rabbi of Sighet (Sighetu Marmației), capital of the Maramureș region, and founded there a large yeshiva, which numbered at its zenith two hundred students. Amongst his renowned disciples from that time was R. Shlomo Leib Tabak author of Erech Shai and head of the Sighet Beit Din. His grandson attested that "he was a merciful father to his disciples, carrying them on his shoulders as a nurse carries a suckling, and overseeing each one individually to ensure they studied Torah in holiness and purity". In Sighet, he earnt worldwide renown, and thousands of Chassidim flocked to seek his counsel and wisdom, blessing and salvation. He was renowned for his exceptional holiness, and his grandson R. Yoel of Satmar attested that his holiness was never tainted. Numerous stories circulated of the wonders he performed, including incredible insights which were revealed to him with Divine Inspiration and through his exceptional wisdom. He was reputed in his generation as one who could read the minds of those standing before him, and amazing stories were told of this ability. His epitaph reads: "The renowned rabbi, he edified upstanding and reputable disciples, left behind valuable compositions". He is renowned for his books: Yitav Lev on the Torah, Yitav Panim on the Festivals, Rav Tuv on the Torah and Responsa Avnei Tzedek.
Rebbe Moshe David Teitelbaum (1855-1935), grandson and close disciple of the Yitav Lev of Sighet. Together with his grandfather, he published Tefillah LeMoshe on Tehillim by their ancestor the Yismach Moshe. In 1906-1908, he published two volumes of Yismach Moshe on Neviim, Ketuvim and other topics. Likewise, he edited and published some of the works of his grandfather the Yitav Lev. In 1882, he was appointed rabbi of Laposch (Târgu Lăpuş, present day: Romania). In his final years, he settled in the United States, where he served as the Volover Rebbe.
Throughout his life, the Yismach Moshe composed novellae on all parts of the Torah – Halachah, Aggadah, Derush and Chassidut. He wrote these novellae sporadically, on pieces of paper, rather than in an organized fashion. After his passing, his writings were given to the Yitav Lev, his grandson and disciple, who gave them to a scribe to be copied methodically. After the writings were copied, the Yitav Lev began editing and arranging the novellae according to topics. While he was editing them, he added glosses, introductory and transition sentences, and many sources. From these writings, the Yitav Lev printed the Yismach Moshe series on the Torah portions, between 1849-1861. In time, when the Yitav Lev became busy with his rabbinical position, his yeshiva and disseminating Torah to his many disciples, he handed over the rest of the writings to his son-in-law, R. Yisrael Yaakov Yukel Teitelbaum Rabbi of Gorlitz and to his grandson R. Moshe David Teitelbaum Rabbi of Laposch, for them to edit and arrange other works of the Yismach Moshe for print. R. Yisrael Yaakov Yukel Teitelbaum of Gorlitz edited Responsa Heshiv Moshe (Lviv, 1866). R. Moshe David Teitelbaum of Laposch edited Tefillah LeMoshe on Tehillim (Krakow, 1880), and in 1906 and 1908, he compiled and published two new volumes of Yismach Moshe, comprising a compilation of ten small works on Neviim, Ketuvim, Megillot, Aggadot and more.
These leaves were used in the preparation of several books of the Yismach Moshe, and show the initial stages of editing – prior to the rearrangement according to subjects – bearing the handwritten editing notes of his holy descendants.

text: Data Availability StatementThe authors declare that all data used in this study are available in the article and Additional files. the chemotherapy-driven increases in PTN/PTPRZ1 expression in TNBC cells were explored using microarray analysis, and the downstream mechanism was dissected with siRNA. Outcomes We confirmed the fact that appearance of PTPRZ1 and MK-0822 cost PTN was upregulated by chemotherapy, which noticeable transformation in expression decreased chemosensitivity by promoting tumour proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. CDKN1A was the important switch that governed the appearance of PTN/PTPRZ1 in TNBC cells getting chemotherapy. We further confirmed that the system of chemoresistance by chemotherapy-driven boosts in the CDKN1A/PTN/PTPRZ1 axis depended in the NF-B pathway. Conclusions Our research indicated that chemotherapy-driven boosts in the CDKN1A/PTN/PTPRZ1 axis play a crucial function in chemoresistance, which implies a book technique to enhance chemosensitivity in breasts cancer cells, in those of the triple-negative subtype specifically. strong course=”kwd-title” Keywords: Breasts cancer, Proteins tyrosine phosphatase receptor Z1, Pleiotrophin, Chemotherapy level of resistance, NF-B signalling pathway Background Breasts cancer may be the most common malignancy in females and a respected reason behind cancer-related death world-wide, MK-0822 cost while triple-negative breasts cancer (TNBC) is certainly a subtype of breasts cancers that typically includes a fairly poorer outcome weighed against other breasts cancers subtypes [1, 2]. The TNBC classification pertains to all tumours that absence the appearance from the endocrine receptors for oestrogen and progesterone (ER and PgR, respectively) as well as the aberrant appearance of HER2. Furthermore, TNBC typically comes with an inherently MK-0822 cost intense scientific behaviour and does not have recognized molecular goals for therapy . Even so, chemotherapy continues to be the most frequent treatment choice for sufferers with early-stage or advanced-stage TNBC . Around 30% of sufferers with high-grade TNBC possess a strong preliminary response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and obtain a pathologic comprehensive response (pCR); nevertheless, the level of resistance of TNBC to chemotherapy continues to be a major scientific problem since around 20% of sufferers with TNBC display development during NAC or soon after therapy because of drug level of resistance . As a result, understanding the molecular basis of chemotherapy and determining book molecular targets are crucial to enhancing chemotherapy efficiency in sufferers with TNBC. Lately, multiple lines of proof suggested the fact that appearance of pleiotrophin (PTN), which really is a secreted growth aspect that binds to receptor proteins tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPRZ1) to stimulate individual endothelial cell migration, is certainly connected with poor prognosis in a number of malignant tumours . Our prior study found that variance in the expression of PTPRZ1 was observed between recurrent TNBC tissue and nonrecurrent TNBC tissue, which indicated Mouse monoclonal to FCER2 that PTPRZ1 may be a novel risk factor for poor prognosis in TNBC . However, the precise mechanisms whereby PTN/PTPRZ1 signalling regulates the chemotherapy sensitivity of TNBC cells are not well comprehended. Our current studies showed that this expression of PTN and its receptor PTPRZ1 in human breast cancer tissue depended on whether the patient received chemotherapy, and chemotherapy-driven increases in PTN/PTPRZ1 signalling could inhibit chemotherapy responsiveness in TNBC cells. In the current work, mechanistic and functional studies were performed to thoroughly elucidate the molecular players MK-0822 cost involved in the PTN/PTPRZ1 signalling that regulates chemoresistance and to determine the potential functions of PTN/PTPRZ1 in chemotherapy resistance. Methods Microarray analysis of data from your GEPIA database and GEO database To investigate the expression levels of the same gene in breast cancer and normal tissues, we performed an analysis using the GEPIA database (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Evaluation, http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/index.html) , which contains 1085 breasts cancer tissue examples and 291 regular tissue examples. To evaluate the appearance degrees of the same gene in breasts cancer tissues before and after chemotherapy, we analysed a cohort in the GEO data source (“type”:”entrez-geo”,”attrs”:”text message”:”GSE87455″,”term_id”:”87455″GSE87455, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) that included.

Fans won’t look at Thursday’s Thumbs Up, Cancer Down 150 at the virtual Iowa Speedway and think of vintage Sage Karam.
But the NTT IndyCar Series driver won’t care.
Karam charged to second place following the final caution, and inherited the lead for the first time with four laps remaining when rookie Mike Rasiumus ran out of fuel, capturing his sixth win of the season in the Lionheart Retro Series presented by DMLC Racing Channel.
“It wasn’t pretty,” Karam said. “The race was hard. Dirty air was really bad. I got stuck in the back for a while, but was able to benefit from good pit stops and a couple of restarts. Really interesting race.”
Karam started 19th in the 29 car field following a qualifying mistake, and patiently worked his way into the top five. But the career series wins leader (12) seemed stuck in third until a restart following the sixth and final caution of the race on lap 134.
Karam had tried time and again to get around Tommy Rhyne, with the two even touching wheels on lap 133, but Rhyne continued to look like the stronger car until lap 142, when Karam made a sweeping move into turn one and was able to pull away from Rhyne.
Still, one of the hottest drivers in the league led the way, and despite having not pitted since lap 72, Rasimas continued to stay out well past the projected 75 lap fuel window, albeit with plenty of caution laps mixed in.
“I knew I was kinda racing Tommy Rhyne,” Karam said. “But then we kept getting yellows and I started to think ‘maybe Mike can make it now.’ I thought he was a lot worse on fuel than he actually was. When we got to five to go, I thought he was going to make it. I didn’t know until I saw him pull over, and it was a sigh of relief. I couldn’t get around him.”
Alas, it was not to be, as Rasimas continued to wait for one final yellow flag that never came. His Lotus 79 sputtered on the back stretch with four laps remaining, turning the lead - and the win - over to Karam.
“It just kept getting closer and closer and closer,” Rasimas said. “I just kept trying to save fuel when I could, trying to stretch it out. I needed one more yellow. I was actually pretty happy I got as far as I did. I had to try. It was the only way I was going to beat those super fast guys.”
Rhyne held on for second, even closing on Karam in the final two laps, but ran out of time. The finish was a career best for Rhyne.
“I was just going off the information my teammates could give me,” Rhyne said of being the first car to make the trip to pit road and make it to the end. “I thought if it went green, we would’ve won. It was just so hard to pass the leader, almost impossible.”
Bobby Mikes put on the show of the night, blowing past pole winner and early race favorite Dustin Wardlow (100 laps led) and points leader Ryan Otis in the final 20 laps. It was the best finish of the season for the two-time Retro Series race winner.
“It was an interesting race,” Mikes said after being involved in multiple cautions but surviving each. “I was just waiting for the tires to come in. It’s the age old 79 question, when will they come in? And they finally came in late and we were really good.”
Otis finished fourth, just ahead of a disappointed Wardlow.
18 drivers finished the race, with 15 on the lead lap.
Rasimas fell to 17th, three laps down, after coasting back into his pit stall to top off.
Karam closed the championship gap to 63 points back of Otis, the defending series champion. Lionel Calisto jumped to third in points, with Wardlow up two spots to fourth following Aaron Morgan’s late race crash. Morgan sits fifth, 161 points back of Otis.
The Lionheart Retro Series presented by DMLC Racing Channel takes three weeks off before returning on Thursday, September 17 at World Wide Technology Raceway, formerly Gateway Motorsports Park, outside St. Louis for the HyperX Gateway 150. The race can be seen live on the iRacing eSports Network and the Global SimRacing Channel at 10:35 p.m. EST.

By- Traci Taylor
Within focus, my grasp loosened
I lost the control within the tide
Swiftly the waves pulled me under.
Instinct is what kept me thriving
digging for the fight to continue on.
Promising myself to never live beneath the sea
Pressures of the ocean can be dangerous
Deceived within its beauty I let go
Finding my footing I rose above sea level-
learning to always look ahead, never behind.

A Communicable Itch- PolitiKOS at The Kraine
This weekend I went to check out PolitiKOS at Horse Trade’s Kraine Theatre in New York. This political theatre festival featured a play of mine, a short called “Coursing Upstream,” which I wrote after being inspired by the story of the New Jersey man whose mother is a Yanomami tribeswoman, although he grew up with his dad, an anthropologist who fell in love while researching the customs of the Yanomami. My play is about the dad’s decision to wed and start a family with a woman who is more comfortable hunting for scorpions in the jungle than squeezing papayas at the Parsippany Pathmark, and I really enjoyed working with director Christina Roussos and actors Jarel Davidow and Imran Sheikh on the play. Rehearsal was all about hashing out the questions in the play, figuring out our own thoughts on the ethics of bedding one’s research subject, of cutting off one’s children from your own culture, or of their mother’s culture, since the cultures are in such conflict as to be unable to exist in one body without prejudice or preference. I’d work with this crew any day of the week on any project basically.
The program of plays was curated by Israela Margalit, and the line-up reflected her thoughtful, dedicated approach. Aside from my own work, which I always like because I try to write what I want to see on stage, I particularly loved Dominique Morriseau’s monologue, “Jezelle the Gazelle,” from the perspective of a young girl running the biggest race of her life, which devastatingly turns out to be life or death. The engagement between Dominique Fishback, who played the title character, and the audience was sweet and delicious, like ripe fruit, like all the essence of childhood and innocence and hide and seek and first kisses and nicknames for neighborhood friends. It twists rather hard when her friends running the race with her are mistaken by police for other kids who were running from the scene of a crime, and the lovely feelings of nostalgia I had were replaced with a tight, hard, knot in my stomach. “Assignment: Washington,” by Arthur Kopit, a seriously funny play, was about a vampire who, with the help of his a high-profile psychiatrist, discovers that the government officials who he takes for victims are zombies. Larry Powell played the reluctant, but goofy vampire, and Jennifer Dorr White was his in-over-her-head psychiatrist.
The final performance of the night was a piece from The Living Theatre. I first experienced the Living Theatre on a pier on the West Side in 1992. In an odd turn of events, it turns out that a good friend of mine now was then part of that group, and performed in the rainy evening performance way back when. The play was about serious ideas at the same time as it was ridiculous in its presentation and ended with all of us, audience included, marching around carrying picket signs and chanting slogans while the whole procession was lit by theatre floods illegally plugged into a City lamppost. What I felt so clearly at the time was that as we all marched around in the jerry rigged light, audience and performers together, there was no one left to watch. We were all in it together. The light that lit our parade created a wall between us and the darkness, but the darkness was so real. We fended off the realm of darkness that encircled us with stolen light. I remembered that, my first experience with experimental theatre, when the Living Theatre began to take the stage.
The performers walked with heavy steps, stiff movements. They plodded onto the creaking floorboards. In the ensuing moments, each actor proceeded to have a difficult and overwhelming physical experience. These experiences appeared to be inspired by dread, foreboding, melancholy, some kind of witnessed horror perhaps. Adding a sense of the ridiculous to their dread there emerged among them some kind of communicable itch. The serious idea of witnessing, internalizing, and feeling paralyzed by the horror that we glimpse from afar every day of our cushy lives was countered by the absurdity of this itch. They scratched at themselves, pulled their hair, and the phrase “rend their garments” occurred to me. These actors were in agony, their faces contorted with grief, pain, the unbelievable terror of living in fear of death, or perhaps helplessness in the face of the death of others. They moaned, groaned, screamed. They lamented in wordless noises that grew louder until the room echoed with the sound of it.
Each actor was independently experiencing this gruesomeness, there was no communication between them, no acknowledgement of shared pain. They didn’t seem aware of each other at all. As I watched, the actors wordless, their movements and struggles growing more acute, I realized quite suddenly that I felt nothing. I felt no connection to any actor, to any feeling they were feeling. I was merely witnessing their agony from afar, from my cushy seat in the penultimate row.
The piece had all the frames of theatrical experimental high art. But like so much conceptual work, it seemed to be more interested in communicating an experience, and asked me to revere that communication, that it did in actually being present with me. There were no questions asked, there was no response required from the audience other than to witness the experience that was being experienced in front of us. No picket signs or song sheets were handed out, the need to scratch an unnamed itch did not reach me in my chair.
I was watching, not experiencing, I was listening, but there was nothing for me to hear. The actors continued, focused in on their own world, on communicating out from their own insides, while I sat in the circle of darkness. They were still having this whole thing happen to them, this whole thing that came out of each individual, this same thing wherein they were not even interacting with one another, and definitely not interacting with the audience. They were not sharing an experience with us, or a story with us, or giving us any context other than the atheist life void in which so much of contemporary theatre exists.
And as I was thinking these thoughts they were still lamenting, still throwing themselves about, while my thoughts kept moving, and my feelings refused to feel. There in the dark, outside of the circle of light, I felt nothing for these groaning people, nothing for their serious ideas, I only felt what surely they did not intend: the ridiculous. (If they did intend that, then brava, for real, great job, nailed it.)
I go to theatre with an open heart. As a rule, I come to theatre ready to be with the artists on stage, ready to hear what they have to say, to feel their story. I want nothing more than the work to fill my heart and mind. I came to this show the same way, even more so because my own art work was part of it. I felt like we were all on the same team, and I was even a little floored that my play was on the same program as the storied Living Theatre. I say all that by way of saying that what happened next was outside of my control.
I started to laugh. I knew I wasn’t supposed to laugh, but it was just so funny to have all these people on stage experiencing something that conveyed to me no meaning, no feeling, only the absurd— absurd that they were doing, absurd that I was watching. My laughter grew. Tears welled up and over and ran my mascara down my cheeks. My shoulders shook, I held my hand over my mouth and in retaliation my nose let loose a series of snorting laughs. By now the performers were in the throes of gruesome deaths, and surely no one could have heard my uncontrollable guffaws. Except for the guy behind me, who was also laughing. And a woman in the row ahead of me, who turned around and smiled. But other people glared at me, and I felt self-conscious that I was having the wrong experience. Still, I could not stop laughing.
In thinking further about this wrong experience, I have a greater understanding of what the deal is when I hear about great numbers of people who have been killed in places much further away that the stage and feel… bad about that, but not much in my heart, not that sharp pain of grief. Conversely, when I hear about one child killed or orphaned or one man shot down, or one woman or grandma killed or made ill, I can find myself devastated, by one death, where thousands do not touch my heart. The deaths of individual strangers stay painful. Every time I hear the agony of a mother’s grief in her radio broadcasted voice, I can’t handle my emotional reaction. I’m not the only person for whom this is a real phenomenon.
Without context, without individuality, without story, the mass death on stage did not reach me. Instead it was like watching a series of prat falls, or funniest home videos, or slips on banana peels. The horror that was being honestly experienced and portrayed by people not 50 feet from where I sat was so much hijinks to me. I am a human being who needs story, and context, even if I have to provide it for myself. And in this instance, within the frame of the theatre space, the frame of the stage, my awareness of Strasberg acting method and Bogart’s Viewpoints techniques, I felt the work they put in, and I respect that. But I have no reverence in theatre. Theatre is not my church, it is my home, and at home, I permit myself to react naturally.
So I didn’t stop myself from laughing.

MANNY PACQUIAO’S travel plans to Los Angeles were thrown into mayhem on Saturday, according to reports.
The boxer boarded a flight from the Philippines to Los Angeles but the plane was diverted to Japan due to a medical emergency.
Pacquiao and his team were then forced to stay at Haneda airport for three hours before having to fly back to Manila.
And according to Rapples, the 62-7 fighter then boarded another plan to America on Sunday.
He is set to begin training with Freddie Roach and strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune on Monday, but now will not have much time in between to rest from his travel.
Pacman is set to begin preparing for his fight with Errol Spence jr. at Wild Card Boxing gym in LA.
Spence jr. boasts a record of 27-0 with 21 knockouts and currently holds the WBC and IBF welterweight titles.
But Pacquiao also holds two belts, the WBA (Regular) welterweight title and the WBA (Super) welterweight title, which he won in his last fight against Keith Thurman in 2019.
So while he may work as a senator in the Philippine House of Representatives away from the ring, he will fancy his chances against Spence jr.

The pair will meet on August 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, which will be Pacquiao’s 23rd fight in the city.
There is not much to differentiate the duo according to Ryan Garcia, who predicted a knockout without picking a winner.
Garcia is all too aware of the strengths of Spence jr. after the 31-year-old beat him via unanimous decision at the end of last year.

Discussion in 'Mac mini' started by dogslobber, Oct 11, 2015.
Would you buy one?
If it can run OSX and OSX Server, then probably. For TM Backups, my small webserver needs, etc.
Of course it would also need to be priced considerably lower than the current base Mini OR if priced the same, would need to have some additional bells and whistles (i.e. multiple hard drives, different form factor).
No I wouldn't.
Q: "Would you buy a leprechaun-powered kitchen mixer?"
A: "I'll only start thinking about that question when there is more than a one in one billionth chance that such a thing will actually be made. Sorta like the ARM Mac Mini."
Who says there will be one? ARM isn't ready to run OSX. Even if they built one, there are all those apps written for Intel. I wouldn't consider one.
I think you mistyped "Apple TV" as "Mac Mini"
I'd love something like a Raspberry Pi but with a beefier CPU, builtin power supply and without the I/O bottlenecks of the Pi (everything goes via USB 2...) - would be great as a little 'home server' - but I don't think that's a priority for Apple.
Seriously, though, the obvious application for an ARM-based mac would be something like the MacBook, where the emphasis is on power consumption and heat, and where nobody is likely to buy one to run Adobe CS or Final Cut Pro...
ARM-based Macs aren't such a dumb idea: most recently-written software in ObjC would just re-compile, the problem would be getting the likes of Microsoft and Adobe to port their big 'legacy' Applications (but hands up who isn't now striving for a bit less MS and Adobe in their life?) The only reason there aren't any desktop-class ARMs is that there hasn't been a market for them... but they're now dabbling in ARM for servers. Of course, the original ~1987 ARM was a workstation-class chip that wiped the floor with it's contemporary the Intel 286 - but in those days, moreso than today, if it didn't run Windows, it wasn't getting in.
Yet Microsoft found a way to have apps working across their ARM and X86 machines with Windows 10. And Apple found away to make PowerPC apps work after the switch to Intel X86 (remember Rosetta?). Will everything work? No. but to say they won't work is a bit short sighted. And don't forget, Apple will make the ARM processors in the Mini if they did, so it isn't outside the realm for them to add some kind of X86 hardware translator? Think Transmeta back 10 years ago....
Do I think this will happen? Probably not. At least not anytime soon, but at this point (especially since Apple would build the processor), it is not outside the realm of possibility and the gap between possible and likely is shrinking by the year.
I wouldn't be surprised if Apple have OS X running on ARM in some locked back room somewhere off Infinite Loop (right next to the Intel-based iPad prototype)... Just as they always had OS X running on Intel.
...yes, so-called 'Modern' (or "the UI formerly known as 'Metro'") apps, not regular Windows application. Its probably fairer to say that Windows 10 desktop can also run mobile apps. MS's ARM-based products haven't exactly been a big success, partly because of the paucity of apps. AFAIK the MS Surface tablets are all Intel powered now. Problem is, Microsoft's main selling point is the ability to run regular Windows Apps.
However, in Apple's case, a Mac that could also run iOS Apps might be a winner that would outweigh the lack of some OS X apps, at least at the MacBook end of the market.
...and ditto when they went from 68k to PowerPC. However, that's easy when you're moving to a more powerful processor and (unless, maybe, you were coming from a top-of-the-range G5 cheesegrater) the move to Intel was an upgrade for most people. Of course, Apple could probably work with ARM to produce an Intel-killer if they really wanted to (but not trivial).
Only if the entry-level price is drastically reduced, since Intel Core i5 chips cost a fortune compared to Apple's A-chips.
Unless it will run the Mac OS and all my older applications, NO, I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
They have been having rumours of ARM prototypes in the lab for years now. Just as they had OSX on Intel well before was launch. I would not be at all surprised if they have this in the lab and working.
Would need to be able to run Intel Apps though as well and how well would it do that.
Other then as a good incentive to keep Intel CPU development going, couldn't see it happening though.
With the Core M being available and being pretty good then would personally see the Mini migrating to that rather then ARM. Biggest thing there would be cost.
Various NAS units run with ARM processors and yet, the better performing ones jumped over to Intel CPUs. There is a reason.
Not to offend author of the original OP, but why would one take steps backwards in technology? Until the ARM is on par with Intel, or for that matter AMD, it would remain an anemic performer. Perhaps a quad ARM processor makes sense when in use with a Sigma chip for a new Apple Entertainment puck (ATV done right).
Seriously people, understand your CPU history....
Putting a hardware X86 translator into a CPU has already been done (15 years ago!) and since Apple designs their only ARM CPU's, there is no reason they couldn't do this with the A10 (maybe call it A10+). It would be able to run all X86 (i.e. Intel) applications just fine and not be a software solution so it would be fairly fast. Before anyone points out that Transmeta CPU's were slow, they also didn't have the resources that Apple does....
Yes, a translator engine.
i'm rather waiting for ipad pro OSX version
Sure, providing it mimics the same if not better performance as a good i5 or i7 processor.
As long as it costs a lot less and can run my current applications as fast as my Core 2 Duo. Given the cost of Intel CPUs, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple could lower the price by USD$200 and still put two "A10" or an 8-core "A11" or something inside it. Could be twice as fast as the i5 for maybe 10~20% of the cost of the Intel CPU. Don't forget a Mac mini doesn't run on a battery and can have active cooling, like the Apple TV 4K. It could probably be clocked (much) higher than an iPad Pro.
If lower cost is the thing, the "low-end junk" Kaby Lake Pentium 'S' series chip runs about $85 (much, much above list price), but it's faster than the high-end i7 2014 Mini. However there's no chance for Apple to use a Pentium part, so you'll have to deal with much older and slower and more expensive i7 mobile part......
It's funny that everyone is concerned with MacOS, considering it probably won't exists 10 years from now.
I see Apple moving iOS (or some kind of hybrid built on iOS) to MacBooks and iMacs within that time period.
So no ARM Mac Mini (because three won't be another mini) but you'll definitely see Apple chips in MacBooks before too long. That is 100% guaranteed. Only a matter of time.
I guarantee you that Apple has a macOS port running on ARM, and has done since 2005-2007 or so.
How do i know this? Because iOS is essentially macOS with a different UI on it. macOS would have been running on ARM before iOS existed - in order for iOS to be developed.
So your "ARM isn't ready to run OS X" comment is kinda off base.
ARM processors have a history in desktop computers - the original ARM CPUs were designed to run in desktop workstations and back in the day they were way faster than PCs.
If it is cheaper and able to run those free software like libreoffice, firefox, macports, etc, I would.
I would agree... but let's be fair here. This thread has risen from the dead and you are quoting a post that was made two years ago. Maybe he has changed his mind since then?
It’d almost certainly be better while also a lot cooler/ more power efficient than the current 4th gen chips on offer...
Odds are it would also be able to run a lot of modern Mac-native software in ObjC or Swift that uses Apple frameworks once the publishers had (in effect, if not literally) re-compiled it with the "ARM support" checkbox ticked in Xcode.
The problem would be big applications stuffed with legacy code like Photoshop CS that reliably break every tine there is a MacOS x86 upgrade, let alone a change of processor architecture. Apple have used emulators and code translators in the past (for the 68k to PPC and PPC to x86 transitions) but that was usually accompanied by a significant jump in CPU power - X86 on any currently available ARM might be a bit sluggish.
Current ARMs probably cant compete with the more powerful desktop i5 and i7 chips - and while they have seen some applications in supercomputers I believe that is mainly as "control" processors for more exotic vector processors (much in the way that the "Cell" processor used in the PlayStation a few years back used PPC). However, that doesn't mean that workstation-class ARM chips couldn't be developed, and the brilliance of ARMs business model is that it allows 3rd parties to build 'pick'n'mix' chips or just license the architecture.
Overall - I think ARM-based Macs are a lot more feasible than some people think, although I still wouldn't hold my breath. Alsom as @throAU said - I'd be very, very surprised if Apple don't have MacOS running on an ARM in some back room somewhere.
Meanwhile - how many ARM processors are there already in a modern Mac? I think its been established that there's one in the touchbar, there's probably one in the SSD...?
Seem to recall seeing an article somewhere re: they do have lab machines on ARM.
Apple did release the ARM MacOS kernel this week as open-source:


Osborne Clarke’s immigration team, together with its in-house client technology team, Osborne Clarke Solutions (“OC Solutions”), has launched a case management platform to make managing the employee immigration process significantly more efficient. Through the platform, businesses can manage the process from start to finish on a global scale. The case management platform has been adopted by OVO Energy for all of its immigration matters.
The platform, part of a suite of products from OC Solutions, has been created using cloud-based technology and delivers value by saving investment in costly software. It is completely customisable and can be adapted to suit any business. Simple and easy-to-use, it has the following features:
- One central location: Business can manage everything in one place from start to finish, saving time and money
- Interactive dashboard: To show the latest documents and upcoming deadlines specific to active immigration cases
- New case creation: Osborne Clarke can be easily instructed in new matters (both visas and licence reporting) and tailored questions mean all relevant information can be provided in one step, saving time by avoiding back and forth emails
- Live case tracking tool: An online instruction and case milestone reporting dashboard to save having to check case status. Automated emails are sent at each stage to confirm and keep parties updated
- Sponsor licence management and tracking facility: This ensures compliance with the essential UKVI requirements, which if breached can lead to a loss of the licence (and all migrant workers, fines, possible criminal sanctions and reputation damage
- Case deadline management and reminders: Automated reminders to help prevent visas expiring or key dates being missed. The consequences of missing a deadline can lead to individuals not being able to remain and being barred for up to 10 years
- Case calendar: To show key dates for each case and licence actions
- Integrated knowledge platform: Allows Osborne Clarke to share knowledge and useful reference guides. This allows changes in policies and concessions to be quickly communicated during these times of significant change and upheaval
- Secure document sharing: The ability to securely share documents on each matter or relating to the sponsor licence, and ensure documents are retained for future reference and compliance requirements
- Designed to grow with the client: The platform is not just UK focused – it can work for any number of jurisdictions and manage all global mobility matters
We needed a solution which would speed things up and ensure key steps weren’t missed” – Natasha McArthur, Talent Acquisition Director at OVO Energy
Natasha McArthur, Talent Acquisition Director at OVO Energy said:
“The process we had in place to manage our immigration matters wasn’t optimal. We needed a solution which would speed things up and ensure key steps weren’t missed. Enter Osborne Clarke – the Solutions team’s knowledge of HighQ, combined with the Immigration team’s legal expertise allowed them to create a bespoke tool which is easy-to-use and integrates seamlessly into our business. If you are struggling to make a particular process more efficient, and are looking for technology to provide an easier way, I would highly recommend working with Osborne Clarke”.

'Dobro Man' Tut Taylor dies
Tut Taylor, "The Flatpickin' Dobro Man" who played on John Hartford's groundbreaking LP "Aereo-Plain" and helped open Nashville bluegrass hot spot The Old Time Pickin' Parlor in the early 1970s, died Thursday morning at the Wilkes Regional Medical Center in North Carolina. He was 91.
Robert Arthur Taylor, Sr. was born in Milledgeville, Ga., on Nov. 20, 1923. His parents reportedly paid the woman who delivered him in collard greens. He grew up in a musical family, and as a child he played the mandolin. He started learning how to play the Dobro in his early teens after hearing Bashful Brother Oswald play the instrument on the radio.
Unlike other Dobro players, who use fingerpicks, Mr. Taylor used a flatpick.
"He did everything different," said longtime friend and Dobro virtuoso Jerry Douglas. "He held the bar in an unorthodox way and he used a flatpick, but he was a guy who could keep up (with other musicians). He could play all the rolls that three-fingered players would do, but with a flatpick."
Story continues below photo
Mr. Taylor would play recreationally through the late 1950s; his first professional recording gig was playing the Dobro on Porter Wagoner's 1964 album "Bluegrass Story." In the '60s, Mr. Taylor would play with The Folkswingers, a band that included Glen Campbell and members of The Dillards, and The Dixie Gentlemen.
When Mr. Taylor relocated to Nashville in the late 1960s, he, Randy Wood and George Gruhn opened the instrument shop GTR, a predecessor to Gruhn Guitars.
Later, Mr. Taylor, Wood and Grant Boatwright would open The Old Time Pickin' Parlor, which became a hotspot for bluegrass musicians from 1971-77. Guests such as Sam Bush, Clarence White, John Hartford and Bob Dylan would drop by, jam and listen to music. (An attempt by Mr. Taylor and his family to revive the Pickin' Parlor in the early 2000s was unsuccessful; the venue closed in 2002.)
Along with Norman Blake, Vassar Clements and Randy Scruggs, Mr. Taylor backed Hartford on his iconic 1971 album "Aereo-Plain," which influenced countless progressive bluegrass musicians. As Douglas wrote in the liner notes of the 2010 Tut Taylor tribute album "Southern Filibuster," the "playful and irreverent" songs Hartford and the Aereo-Plain band delivered on that album "defined an era, taking the acoustic community by storm."
"When I think of Tut, I think of that John Hartford song 'Vamp in the Middle,'" explains Dobro player Rob Ickes. "There were some great Dobro fills that had this country-blues sound. I think that was the innate sound Tut had in his soul."
Story continues below video
Mr. Taylor would go on to produce albums by Bashful Brother Oswald, Norman Blake and Mark O'Connor. In 1994, Mr. Taylor and Douglas co-produced "The Great Dobro Sessions," an album that included a top-notch lineup of Dobro players. It would go on to win a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.
Over the course of his career, Mr. Taylor would also release several albums under his own name, including his 1964 debut "12 String Dobro" and 1972's "Friar Tut," which landed him in the Dobro Players' Hall of Fame.
Ickes mentioned that he and a number of other Dobro players had recently contributed to a new album of hymns that Mr. Taylor was hoping to release this year. Son Mark Taylor says he plans to release that album — titled "Oconee," after the Oconee River his father grew up near — as a tribute to his father and best friend.
Mr. Taylor was a regular at the annual North Carolina roots music festival MerleFest. He was slated to perform at this year's festival, which begins in two weeks. Said Douglas, "Tut was an institution at MerleFest. Everybody loved him. He'll really be missed."
Mr. Taylor is survived by four sons, three daughters, 16 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. A visitation will be held on Friday from 7-9 p.m. at Miller Funeral Service in Wilkesboro, N.C.

In honor of the fact that our trip is 18 days away and we have 18 participants, check out our “Who We Are” tab to get quick bios on our participants.
While we’re still in the planning stages and there’s not a lot of trip details to report, there’s a book that I want to share. It’s a book that I was given by a friend right before I left for a mission trip last summer. She’d just finished reading it and she said that I should give it a try.
Written by Richard Stearns, President of World Vision in the United States, “The Hole in Our Gospel: What does God Expect of Us” is a book that every Christian should consider. The premise is blindingly simple and comes from James 2: 14-18 which say:
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
Stearns recounts his own struggle with faith and his decision to eventually leave Lenox and and join World Vision at a significant pay cut. The book is honest and doesn’t push any agenda other than doing God’s work.
I hope that as we travel to Haiti, that we can show our faith through our deeds.
We will be visiting a town called Cange, Haiti which is located about 2 hours by vehicle from the capital city of Port-Au-Prince. Haiti is located on the island of Hispaniola, between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. Haiti occupies one-third of the island; the rest belongs to the Dominican Republic.
According to the World Factbook, published by the United States CIA, Haiti has the worst malnutrition (nearly half of the population is chronically undernourished), the highest rates of infant and maternal mortality, and the worst AIDS epidemic in the Americas. Whereas the infant mortality rate in the United States is 5.98 deaths per 100,000 live births, the rate for Haiti is 52.44 deaths per 100,00 live births.
95 percent of Haiti’s population is black; the other 5 percent is mulatto or white. Over 80 percent of the population identifies as Roman Catholic with another 16 percent identifying as Protestant (Baptist 10%, Pentecostal 4%, Adventist 1%).
Cangeis a small village located in the Central Plateau of the country. It sets on the edge of Lake Peligre which was created by a large hydroelectric dam. Cange is home to an organization called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health, which services the people of Haiti. Created in 1985, the clinic “[features] a 104-bed, full-service hospital with an infectious disease center, … a women’s health clinic, … a laboratory, a pharmaceutical warehouse, a Red Cross blood bank, and a dozen schools.”
As you can see, there is need in this community and we are excited in our mission to play a small role.
To try to imagine how each of 18 different young adults arrived at this opportunity is next to impossible. We are diverse and we each carry our own story; however, for the next month (and possibly for the rest of our lives) our experiences will overlap and will bring us together. We were each graciously chosen for our unique talents, abilities, and life experiences — not only by the search committee but by God.
Isaiah 6:8 says “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
It shows a lot of faith to apply for a mission trip with a group of people you may have never met before. There’s not a safety net of having your friends or people from your church there. You enter into this on blind faith that this is what God wants from you. You look at him and say those words from Isaiah — send me to do YOUR will. I think that’s a powerful choice to go where God leads without knowing what will happen.
We met for the first time on Saturday to get the details of our trip. It was our first opportunity to gather any information on the people who’d be going with us. Granted, I knew from looking at the email addresses of my fellow attendees that one of them is a “six foot beast” and that several attend Appalachian State but I had no real idea as to who I’d be meeting. When I walked in, everyone was smiling and welcoming.
The majority of our time was spent learning about where we’d be going and getting the itinerary for our trip. We met the team and introduced ourselves before really diving into the project. I felt really empowered by the fact that the project wasn’t completely laid out before us, that we had the power to use our knowledge to impact what we’d be doing.
This blog will chronicle our trip. Please join us on this adventure.

NEW ARTIST FINDS: BRONCHO
In a time where we tend to stray farther and farther away from guitar-driven rock and towards electropop everything, it’s always a welcomed surprise to stumbled upon a band like Oklahoma’s BRONCHO (yes—it is supposed to be in all caps). Members Ryan Lindsey, Nathan Price, and Ben King have been making music together since 2010, and have just released their sophomore album, Just Enough Hip To Be Woman, that’s packed with lo-fi power pop anthems that will keep you coming back for more. The guys first got some attention from having their song, “It’s On,” featured in the season 3 premier of HBO’s Girls which served as the perfect introduction to the band’s style. If you’re into power pop bands like The Cars or garage rock revivalists like The Strokes, then BRONCHO is definitely worth checking out!

I imagine their latest single, “Class Historian,” is what it would sound like if Phoenix and A-Ha had a child...a very catchy, radio-friendly child— The song is an interesting blend of punchy, 80’s-sounding guitar riffs and modern indie, sing-a-long style vocals. The trio throws you into their infectious chorus of “doot-doot-doot…” right off the bat and it will be ingrained into your head in no time. The video itself is also fittingly 80’s with its lo-fi and fuzzy video footage of the guys and strangely intriguing women.
BRONCHO - WHAT
“What” shows off the band’s knack for writing awesomely catchy, groovy garage rock and I totally love it. Lead singer Ryan Lindsey sassily croons on this track, singing “wha-a-at” over chugging bass and stop-and-go, jangly guitar riffs that will easily fill that power-pop void in your life. It’s definitely one of my favorite track’s of theirs and I can’t get enough of it.
Since I’m sure you’ve fallen in love with these guys, be sure to show them your support by liking their Facebook page and tell ‘em BitCandy sent ya! And if you need even more awesome new music in your life, then head on over here.

HARWICH — For Sale: School. 78,833 square feet. Valued at more than $10 million. Gym, auditorium, cafeteria, classrooms, and much more.
The following former or current Cape schools are being
considered for other purposes:
It won't likely be quite that bold an advertisement, or that high an asking price, but a town advisory committee hopes to have a request for proposals for the sale of the Harwich Middle School ready for selectmen by this week.
Town Planner David Spitz said he is working on the final draft of the bid request and will submit it to members of the Middle School Repurpose Committee for their consideration at their meeting Monday. The committee would then decide whether to approve it and send it on to selectmen.
In August, the initial notice that the property could be for sale drew three solid inquiries, Spitz said. One proposal was for senior housing, one for affordable housing, and a third for condominium units with at least 25 percent classified as affordable.
The middle school is still in use by Harwich students. But part of Harwich's agreement with Chatham to create the Monomoy Regional School District specified that the school be closed and that control revert back to the town when the new regional high school opens in September. Chatham's current combined high school and middle school building will then become the regional middle school.
Selectmen haven't yet decided on whether they will sell or lease the school, said Chairman Angelo La Mantia. The repurpose committee has determined that selling the school would avoid the considerable costs of maintaining it and protecting it from vandalism.
"The goal of the committee is to be there within two to three days after the new school opens with a signed agreement (for the middle school) so the town doesn't have to put money into decommissioning," said Interim Town Administrator Robert Lawton.
Smaller vacant schools in other towns cost $15,000 to $30,000 a year in heat and other maintenance expenses and still deteriorate quickly. The cost of insurance alone on an empty building can be expensive, said Robin Wilkins, the former chairman of the repurposing committee, now president of the board of directors at the Harwich Ecumenical Council for Housing.
"Insurance on (vacant buildings), liability insurance, is a budget item you don't want to look at," Wilkins said.
There is great need for affordable and senior housing, Wilkins said. HECH currently has a waiting list of 120 families and individuals looking for affordable housing. At nearly 80,000 square feet, the Harwich Middle School is more than twice as big as Yarmouth's John Simpkins Elementary School, which is scheduled to open in February as a 65-unit affordable senior housing complex.
The Harwich school shares a 13.3-acre lot with the town's elementary school. Assessed by the town at nearly $10.4 million, the middle school was originally built as Harwich High School in 1937, and was substantially expanded and renovated in 1990 and had the roof replaced and other repairs in 1998. A building department review of records and an inspection this past July determined the building and the electrical, fire protection, alarm and other mechanical systems were in good condition, according to town records.
Spitz and Lawton said no sale price had yet been determined for the Harwich building. Other items to be ironed out would be the ownership and maintenance of the septic system, which is currently shared by both the middle and elementary schools. The leaching field is located under the athletic fields, which Spitz said would remain with the elementary school. He thought the 13.3 acres of land might be evenly divided between the two buildings but said that had yet to be determined.
The town likely would ask bidders how they would want to handle those matters as part of their proposal, Lawton said. While the sale price hasn't been determined, it is unlikely to be anywhere near the assessed value if other similar projects are any indicator.
Any sales agreement would have to be approved at town meeting, likely in the spring of 2014, Lawton said.
Those wishing to convert schools to affordable or senior housing often use state aid and would need a substantial reduction from the assessed value to make them work financially. For instance, Lawton was the Yarmouth Town Administrator when the Simpkins school was decommissioned and eventually sold for $563,100, a fraction of its assessed value of $2.8 million. But the sales price is only one part of the equation, town officials say. Making 57 of the 65 units into affordable senior housing benefits the town in several ways.
Most towns need affordable family, singles and senior rental units, but they typically have to subsidize those projects by giving away the land, explained Yarmouth Community Development assistant Mary Waygan.
The Simpkins school brought in $563,000 in revenue, and also created taxable property out of what had been exempt from taxation. It also ended maintenance costs, which can be substantial. Vacant buildings deteriorate rapidly and the Simpkins school, once valued at $4 million, had declined to a little under $2.8 million by 2012.
"It's a win-win-win," Waygan said.

Monkey: Journey to the West is a stage adaptation of the 16th Century Chinese novel Journey to the West, by Wu Cheng'en. It was conceived and created by the Chinese actor and director Chen Shi-zheng, together with the British musician Damon Albarn and British artist Jamie Hewlett. However, the original idea came from Jean-Luc Choplin, head of the Chatelet Theatre in Paris .
The production received its world premiere as the opening show of the inaugural Manchester International Festival, on June 28, 2007 at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, where it ran until July 7. It was subsequently staged at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris between September 26 and October 13 2007. The production received its U.S. premiere at the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, SC in May 2008. A further run was planned for the Berlin Staatsoper in July 2008, but instead took place at the London Royal Opera House.
Billed as a "circus opera", the show is Hewlett and Albarn's first major collaboration since Gorillaz. Albarn composed the musical score while Hewlett designed the visual concept, set and costumes. The adaptation for stage has been written by Shi-zheng, who also directs the production. Dramaturgy is by David Greenspan. The show features Chinese singers and 70 Chinese acrobats and martial artists. The orchestra put together for the production includes members of the UK Chinese Music Ensemble (led by Cheng Yu), Demon Strings and Sense of Sound.
In addition to the production, the Manchester International Festival also ran a programme of educational workshops in local schools, in partnership with the Chinese Arts Centre. In the programme, local children were introduced to the tale of Journey to the West, and learnt about various aspects of Chinese culture, music and dance, including mask-making, puppet-making, Tai Chi and Kung Fu.
Hewlett and Albarn included characters from Monkey: Journey to the West in an animation sequence titled "Journey to the East." The BBC used the sequence to introduce coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing.
Monkey hatches from a stone egg and makes his home in the forest. Over time, he becomes obsessed with seeking immortality, and travels the world to find a teacher. He finds Subodhi in the Mountain of Heart and Mind, who gives him the name Sun Wu Kong - the Monkey with the Realisation of Emptiness.
Monkey dives into the Eastern Sea and comes across the Crystal Palace of the Old Dragon King, where he requests to be given a weapon. He is given a magical iron rod, and the Old Dragon King is also cowed into giving him his helmet, armour and shoes.
Monkey travels to heaven to demand recognition of his newfound power. There he finds seven fairies preparing a banquet for the birthday of the Queen Mother of Heaven. Incensed that he has not been invited, he begins to eat the Queen Mother's magical heavenly peaches, and fights off each of her divine guests who try to prevent this. The Queen Mother then calls upon Buddha to deal with Monkey.
Buddha presents Monkey with the challenge of escaping his palm. Monkey is unable to do so, and so he is imprisoned by Buddha.
Five hundred years later, Guan Yin chooses Tripitaka to go on a mission to bring back the Holy Scriptures from India. Pigsy, Sandy, the Dragon Prince (who is transformed into Tripitaka's white horse for the journey) and Monkey (released by Tripitaka from his prison) are chosen to accompany him.
Believing she can achieve immortality by eating Tripitaka's flesh, the White Skeleton Demon adopts disguises in an attempt to fool Tripitaka and his companions. Monkey sees through the disguises, and on each occasion kills the White Skeleton Demon. Tripitaka, however, is horrified by Monkey's display of violence and expels him from the group.
Tripitaka and the other pilgrims travel to the cave of the Spider Woman, who tries to seduce Tripitaka. Pigsy is distracted by the Spider Woman's sexy companions, allowing the Spider Woman to trap Tripitaka. Sandy rushes off to find Monkey, who then defeats the Spider Woman. Feeling sorry for expelling Monkey, Tripitaka asks Monkey to rejoin the group and so he does.
The group travels to a volcano. The only way to pass is to extinguish the volcano using a magic fan belonging to Princess Iron Fan. She refuses to give the fan, and at first Monkey is unable to defeat her. With help from Guan Yin, he transforms himself into a bee, which the Princess swallows, and Monkey is able to defeat her from inside. He claims the fan, and the group continues on its journey.
The group arrives in paradise, and is given the scriptures by Buddha. Tripitaka is created Buddha of the Purest Merit. Pigsy is made Janitor of the Altars. Sandy becomes a Golden-bodied Arhat. The white horse becomes the Dragon prince once more. Monkey is made Buddha Victorious in Strife.
The soundtrack is only based upon, but not a direct recording of the musical. It entered the UK Albums Chart at #5 on release and Number 1# on the UK indie chart. The track Monkey Bee entered the Top 200 UK Singles Chart based on downloads alone at #196.

CT experts weigh in on the impact of the digital world on youth mental health
While users say social media and digital devices are vital for staying connected, research indicates potential negative effects, particularly for young users. Connecticut community leaders, health care providers and politicians are all trying to address the issue.
Johanna Rincon, the executive director of Girls on the Run, launched a mission in 2016 to boost the confidence of teen and pre-teen girls and get them active offline. Her after-school program, designed for third to eighth graders, focuses on the journey of training them to run a 5K.
Operating in various towns, Rincon said she has noticed a rise in mental health issues among girls, pointing to their constant use of social media and electronic devices. Rincon said despite these challenges, her organization provides physical and mental health programs.
“I think is a really great place that for 90 minutes [to] two hours, we know that these girls are having something that is stimulating them, that is bringing them up, instead of making them feel insecure,” she said.
According to Rincon, one-third of Girls on the Run members identify as people of color, and 45% receive scholarships. A recent Pew Research Center study indicates that screen media usage varies significantly among Gen Z and social media users from different ethnic groups. Notably, 87% of Black teens use TikTok, surpassing Hispanic teens at 71% and white teens at 62%.
Meanwhile, teen girls of all ethnicities are more likely than boys to report using TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, leaving them more vulnerable to content on those platforms.
“Social media and electronic devices are designed to be addictive," said Dr. Melissa Otero, a clinical psychologist in Greenwich, Connecticut, who specializes in anxiety, child or adolescent issues and parenting.
In a world where digital devices have become integral to daily life, she emphasized the impact of social media on children's self-esteem. Otero said the addictive nature of social media triggers dopamine responses with positive comments and creates reward pathways that can affect mental well-being.
“When we are scrolling endlessly, past photos, and captions and lights, there's also constant ads and notifications that are popping up that are competing for your attention," Otero said. "That actually shrinks parts of the brain that are associated with maintaining concentration.”
Otero explained that the constant use of social media alters a child's brain structure and function. This impact extends to attention spans, memory processes, and social-emotional responses, she said, all factors interconnected through neuroplasticity.
"The companies that make these devices, and design these platforms, want us online as much as possible," Otero said.
Because of this, when it comes to parents trying to limit screen time, she said "it feels like an uphill battle in many cases."
Who can help teens and children mitigate online risks?
During a West Hartford school roundtable this week, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut pushed to approve the Online Kids Safety Act. Students shared how they worry about the long-term effects of using social media, starting when they were just 11 years old. Some students voiced concerns about impacts on physical appearance, peer pressure, bullying and eating disorders.
Online safety is an issue that resonates with many Latino parents. A 2020 study by Pew Research Center shows Hispanic parents are more likely than white parents to believe the government and tech companies should do more to protect kids online.
West Hartford Public Schools Superintendent Paul Vicinus said parents are concerned about children using social media and digital devices starting in elementary school.
“We have conversations with families about this. We host workshops as early as elementary school in fifth grade, but certainly through middle school," Vicinus said. "[We're] trying to support parents with an understanding of social media and engage them in this kind of a world that really is different for many of us than what we grew up with."
A recent study by Dr. Amrit Kumar Jha, assistant professor of psychology at Lalit Narayan Mithila University in India, indicates that younger generations that have grown up online are at high risk. Generation Alpha, born in and after 2010, has rapidly impacted consumerism and technology trends, shaping decisions and influencing their millennial parents' priorities. While these children display tech-savvy traits, Jha found they are susceptible to psychosocial and developmental concerns like the development of narcissism, ambiguity intolerance, impulsivity, attention-seeking and risk-taking behavior.
Otero acknowledges parents' daunting task in navigating the online world and stresses the importance of setting boundaries, encouraging cautious navigation, considering age-appropriate devices, and having clear guidelines for a healthy online environment.
“Parents need to remember that we are the adults, especially for elementary-aged children," she said. "You have to set these boundaries and house rules about what your little one can do or not do.”


What is the bolt pattern on a 5 lug trailer wheel?
The industry standard bolt pattern is 5 lug on 4.5″ (545) with 5 lug on 5″ (550) following in second.
Are all 5 lug trailer wheels the same pattern?
Common 5 Bolt Patterns for Trailer Wheels The most common 5 bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2. However, 5 bolt patterns also come 5 on 4-3/4, 5 on 5, and 5 on 5-1/2. It is important to know the bolt pattern before you buy new wheels to ensure a proper fit.
How do you measure wheels on a 5 bolt trailer?
Measuring 5-Bolt Trailer Wheels Measure a five bolt wheel from the edge of one bolt hole, skip one bolt hole and then the center of the next hole. In this case the ruler is not across the center of the wheel and you measure from the edge of one to the center of the other.
How do you measure a trailer rim?
The way you would measure it is you would measure from the center of this one wheel all the way to the edge of the wheel or the hole across from it. So in this case if you measure from the center all the way across to the edge of the wheel it is 4-1/2 inches, so this bolt pattern would be 5 on 4-1/2.
What is 5×5 bolt pattern in metric?
In the same way we may calculate the following bolt pattern in inches, 5×5, to metric, which will be 5 times 25.4 = 127 (bolt pattern = 5×127).
Are trailer rims the same as truck rims?
A trailer has a zero offset to promote even tread wear as a trailer’s loads are usually heavier than that of the vehicle’s. The difference in offset between a vehicle’s wheel and a trailer’s wheels id going to lead to improper tire placement. Specifically the wheel is going to stick out too far.
How wide are trailer rims?
15″ Trailer Rims. 15” trailer wheels are frequently used on boat trailers, car haulers, construction trailers, enclosed trailers, and camper trailers. These wheels come in 15×5” and 15×6” options, with 5-lug and 6-lug patterns.
What will 5×127 wheels fit?
Bolt pattern 5×127 What cars have a 5×127 bolt pattern?

What size wheels have a 5 on 5 bolt pattern?
If that distance is 3 inches, you have a 5 on 5. If it’s 3-1/4 inches, you have a 5 on 5-1/2. If it IS a 5 on 5-1/2, we do offer a 10 x 6 rim with that bolt pattern as part # AM20053. The only wheels we offer with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern would be a 15 inch rim like # AM20428. Since a 15 inch wheel almost certainly wouldn’t view full answer…

Nova & Sparky
Review by The Enthusiast
Nova’s Ark is the first in a series of robot-themed children’s books by beloved author/illustrator David Kirk. Kirk is best known for his Miss Spider series. At the turn of the century, Kirk integrated his love of robots (by some accounts he has built and sold his own robot toys for years) and lush painting style into the realm of CGI graphics. For Nova’s Ark, Kirk first painted the pages, then consulted with a CGI outfit to build and render he images in 3d. The results are beautiful.
Trendmasters produced two Nova playsets and an electronic toy a decade ago. I've seen these toys kicking around on the secondary market for years. While the second-most important descriptor, “magnetic,” was attached to the playsets, I held off. I am, above all, a modern robot guy. I certainly appreciate the classic robot aesthetic, but I don’t really connect with designs from the pre-super-robot era. Nova and his world are steeped in the mid-century design ethos, closer to the retro-futuristic art-deco Pixar Robots than the Post-Modern gloom of my generation. Still, it’s a magnetic robot set, and one canny Ebay seller had the good sense to snap a few gorgeous pics of the actual product, so I bit the bullet. I’m glad I did.
The Nova and Sparky set is packaged in a saturated window box. Millions of awful wire-ties hold the figures inside.
The first thing which occurs to me is how amazing the finishes are. The rich gold paint has an automotive feel to it. I like the rivet and panel detailing.
Nova’s play value more or less lives up to his looks. My only gripe is that the elbows don’t bend. Everything else does, though, including a waist joint.
Sparky is a less dynamic figure. The magnetic legs are grooved so that they don’t move once you’ve plugged them in. Sparky’s head is a delightfully psychedelic assemblage.
All of Nova and Sparky’s limbs are attached magnetically. Interchangeability is actually an important part of the story, so the gimmick is appropriate.
As with all modern magnetic toys, the magnetic strength is too weak. That said, you can still have fun with it, and the addition of the other set improves the possibilities.
Though the joints don’t allow for it, I can’t help but attempt a Jeeg-Like centaur mode.
I’m happy I dug into the Nova universe. Nova’s obviously a real labor of love, and I can’t help but be charmed by the whole thing.

Environment and Tourism Minister pays visit to ChinaEnvironment
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Minister of Environment and Tourism N.Tserenbat paid a visit to Gansu province of the People’s Republic of China between July 28 and August 2.
During his visit, Minister N.Tserenbat held bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart Luo Shugang and expressed his wishes to strengthen bilateral tourism cooperation. Minister also attended the opening of the 4th Silk Road International Cultural Expo and 9th Dunhuang Tour-Silk Road International Tourism Festival.
The cultural expo and tour being held under the theme ‘Prosperity over Poverty: Culture and Tourism for New Vitality of Silk Road’ unveiled on July 30 in Hezuo city, capital of Gannan Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Gansu province. Over 30 cultural activities will be held across 14 cities in Gansu province within the frames of the expo. The month-long event is aimed at promoting people-to-people exchanges and integrate culture with tourism along the Silk Road.
China’s Gansu province doesn’t only boast a wide range of natural wonders, but is also renowned for its rich diversity of historical and cultural heritage. As a major stopover on the ancient Silk Road, Gansu witnessed the convergence of various cultures and has inherited a spirit of inclusiveness from the ancient trade route.
According to Minister Luo Shugang, since last year, the annual growth rate of both the number of tourist arrivals and tourism revenue in Gansu province has exceeded 25 percent.
In his speech at the opening ceremony, N.Tserenbat underlined that the core of building a close and mutually-beneficial cooperation relationship should be fully respecting the originality of local culture and protecting the tangible and intangible cultural heritage, as well as preserving traditional values of local community.
He further emphasized that in order to attract more international visitors, Mongolia is striving to upgrade its tourism industry, taking specific measures including improving infrastructure and enhancing the quality of service in the tourism industry. "Tourism can offer opportunities for people to share and communicate," he noted.
A total of 800 guests from over 30 countries, including China’s Minister of Culture and Tourism Luo Shugang, Minister of Environment and Tourism of Mongolia N.Tserenbat and Executive Director of the United Nations World Tourism Organization Zhu Shanzhong attended the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was followed by a concert titled ‘Nine-colored Shambhala Night’ featuring the performances by ethnic groups at Gannan Grand Theatre. On the second day of the event, a number of events including the international travel operators conference, exhibition of tourism products and ethnic food festival were held. One of the remarkable events was the arts festival held at the open field in Dangzhou Grassland near Hezuo city. More than 6,500 local artists and 700 horses participated in the performances with unique local cultural characteristics. The event continued with the tours through the remarkable places of Gansu province in three three different routes.
This year, the Silk Road International Cultural Expo has opened in Hezuo city of Gannan prefecture and will conclude in Dunhuang, while the previous three sessions of the event entirely took place in Dunhuang.
