In the summer of 2005 the children at the Beachwood School Age Center enjoyed activities involving respect, responsibility, caring, fairness, trust and bullying prevention. They spent time with the local 4-H branch and learned about sign language with guide dogs, showing visitors how a guide dog responds to its companion. The children also worked with their families overseas and with all aspects of the world peace effort. Working with military families for the kids make the differce.

my heart to help children. Five years ago I was working at the Military Childcare center, at the Beachwood School age Center, at Fort Lewis, Washington, and ran across a program on line, that I adapted to working children three -eight. Many of the children face problems of sadness and with the program, Character Counts!, they are involved and begin to really belong. Now I have even babies in this.

CIVILIAN CLOTHING 3/17/11
In general, civilian clothing
accoutrements must adhere to the same standards as for military
Fabric should be 100% linen or wool, or cotton or silk with prior
Any exposed stitching should be done by hand. The following
are very rudimentary, and you are strongly urged to DO SOME RESEARCH,
on decoration and jewelry, before making your clothing. The
best books to consult are Roman Clothing and Fashion by A.T.
and The World of Roman Costume by Judith Lynn Sebesta and
Bonfante (see the Bibliography
This page has been sadly
neglected, but I am attempting to remedy that! Yes, we definitely
need more clear photos of garments and details. Sorry,
sorry... But remember that we veterans are happy to loan books
and expertise. And we are more than happy to loan clothing to new
The TUNICA is the basic women's garment, made from two panels of linen or fine wool at least 30 to 40 inches wide--generally from elbow to elbow--and reaching to the ankles when belted. In its traditional form it is sleeveless, and the top edges are not sewn together but rather fastened every few inches by little knots of fabric or possibly small buttons of some sort, leading to the modern term "gap-sleeved" tunic. The fabric is gathered in at these points, and apparently normal brooches or fibulae were not used as fasteners. The knots sometimes look like they are held by thread wrapped around the base, and in other depictions seem to be more disc-shaped. If they are buttons, they are not used with buttonholes since the front and back panels of the tunic touch at the fastenings but do not overlap. From three to five fastening points on each side seems to be common, with as many as seven. Nearly any appropriate color of fabric may be used, and there may be a wide band of a different color at the hem.
There was also a much simpler form of tunica, very similar to a man's tunica, being sewn up the sides and along the top, and having short sleeves (six to eight inches long). It can be worn belted or unbelted. This was most often seen on lower-class or merchant-class women, freedwomen, slaves, and young girls. Like the gap-sleeved tunica it may be any reasonable color, and may have a contrasting band at the hem. Alternatively, it may have clavi, a pair of narrow vertical stripes front and back which reach from the top to the hem. The clavi are about an inch or so wide, and can be from 10 to 20 inches apart (typically equidistant from each other and the sides of the tunica, but not always). They were probably woven into the fabric originally (and most likely ran across the grain of the fabric since the selvege edges were used to form the top edge and hem), but may be sewn on for our purposes.
The STOLA is the traditional distinctive garment of a married Roman woman or matron, worn over a gap-sleeved tunica. At the top, the fabric is gathered into a pair of straps or narrow bands which go over the shoulders, causing the neck opening to form a V-shape--it appears that the neck opening is simply a vertical slit, rather than horizontal. This is just one theory out of several, however! The strap over each shoulder could be a loop of cord, with the top corner of the body panel pulled through one end of the loop, folded over, and sewn in place. Or the fabric itself might simply be gathered on either side of the vertical neck slit, fixed at the center by a narrow band wrapped around. The stola was properly long enough to cover the feet, and it is worn with a belt high under the bust. By the first century AD, the stola is apparently falling out of everyday use, though it is still perfectly acceptable for our uses, and was probably quite common at formal or ceremonial occasions.
An undertunic, probably
can be worn with the short-sleeved tunica, but not with the gap-sleeved
tunica. It can be seen at the neck, and would presumably be white
|| The PALLA (left) is a
wrap, at least 5' by 9'. It is roughly the female equivalent to a
man's toga, but was always worn by a decent woman in public, and could
be put on in a number of ways. Various wraps or cloaks were
also worn, but like the palla these were draped or wrapped but not
pinned. (Photo copyright Jane Walker.)
The STROPHIUM is the
It is a band of soft linen or wool 6" to 8" wide (or a folded wider
enough to go around the body a number of times (six or seven for best

wrapping the ends around and tucking them in at the back again.
is scarce, however, and pins or ties may have been used.
HAIRSTYLES were amazingly varied. While upper-class women favored elaborate arrangements of curls and tiers, simpler hairdos involved coiled braids or a bun at the back. Wigs were used, and those made with red or blond hair were desirably exotic. Traditionally, girls and women tied their hair back with thin woolen bands called vittae, which were considered spiritual protection. Mature Roman women would always cover their heads with a veil or part of the palla when out in public.
For women participating with
Legio XX, there is also the option of Celtic, British, or Germanic
clothing. Here we have a few excellent sources from bog finds,
plus artwork and Roman descriptions. While the basic garment is
still a simple tunic reaching to the feet, there is also the peplos,
basically a very large tube of fabric with the top section folded down
almost to the waist. The dress is pinned at the shoulders with a
pair of fibulae, and belted at the waist. At least one bog find
consists of a woolen skirt apparently worn over a linen tunic or shirt
(which did not survive).
One major difference from Roman
clothing is that provincials used a lot of patterned fabrics.
Stripes, checks, and plaids were all common, though reenactors tend to
over-emphasize this. Solid colors were common as well! Try
to avoid modern Scottish clan tartans, which were not invented until
the 19th century. Narrow tablet-woven woolen strips were used as
borders or belts. Edges or hems, especially on cloaks, can
be fringed, either by simply unravelling the edge of the fabric, or by
unravelling a separate strip of fabric and sewing it on, or by creating
a fringe by sewing yarn into the edge of the fabric.
Over the tunic or dress is
often a cloak, either rectangular and woolen, or a trapezoid made of
hide (goat, sheep, deer, cow, etc.). The furry side can be worn
in or out, depending on need. The feet can be wrapped in squares
of linen or wool, or even fur, or fabric socks can be made, reaching
anywhere from ankle to knee.
As stated above, put a little thought and research into your clothing in order to get the look that matches the portrayal you want. A proper matron in Rome would not dress like the wife of a soldier in Britain, though in between those two extremes there may be quite a bit of overlap or mixing possible.

|The civilian TUNIC is identical to the military one, but can be any reasonable color. The most common style seems to have been sleeveless with a slit neck opening. Senators wore a white tunic with 2 broad (3" wide) vertical purple stripes (clavi), running from shoulder (at the end of the neck slit) to hem, front and back. Equestrians were permitted to wear narrow (1") purple clavi. These stripes are also seen on tunics of common people or even slaves, in colors other than purple on white.

The SUBLIGACULUM is a loincloth worn as underwear. It can be a simple breechclout, a strip of cloth c. 6" to 12" wide passing under the crotch and hung over a belt at front and back, or it could be a rectangle with ties at the corners. The latter style may also be called a perizoma. Gladiators are seen wearing something like trunks or shorts with an apron-like effect at the front. How common any form of underwear might have been is unknown.

In the Republic the toga was roughly semi-circular, c. 12 feet long by 6 feet wide, but by the Empire it had become even larger. Its exact shape is not known, but it may have been a sort of ellipse roughly 10 feet wide and 15 feet long or more (see below). It is folded lengthwise into the traditional semi-circular shape before putting it on. With the straight or folded edge upwards, it is held across the wearer's back, and one end is draped over the left shoulder so that it hangs down in front to about mid-shin. The rest of the toga is passed under the right arm and back up over the left shoulder, and the pleats and folds neatly arranged. The Imperial toga can be partly unfolded under the right arm, and at the front part of it can be pulled out from underneath to form a pocket called the "sinus". Generally the left hand must be held in place as shown, even gripping the diagonal edge of the toga, or it will fall off the shoulder. The right hand is free to gesture.

There was a wide variety of shoes and sandals for men and women. Most were constructed like military caligae, with a one-piece upper nailed between layers of the sole. Many had large open-work areas made by cutting or punching circles, triangles, squares, ovals, etc., in rows or grid-like patterns. Others were more enclosed, having only holes for the laces. Some very dainty women's and children's shoes still had thick nailed soles.
Some shoes had a one- or two-piece upper of soft leather which enclosed the foot like a modern shoe. The edges were nailed between the sole layers. Traditionally, those worn by patricians, senators, and magistrates were called calcei, while common people wore perones. But there is much confusion in terminology and most shoes which have nailed soles and are not caligae or sandals are referred to as calcei. "Calcei senatorii" had soft leather uppers and were secured by wide straps which passed under the foot and crisscrossed up the lower leg. They were red with small ivory crescents attached. Equestrians are shown wearing an identical style, but apparently black in color.
One-piece shoes called

Sandals were generally called soleae, and had nailed or stitched
It is possible that heavy nailed shoes were for outdoor wear, while
sandals and carbatinae were worn "around the house". (Also see Leatherworking
Besides open-work on the leather, shoes and sandals could be dyed, tooled, embossed, or even have gilded designs.

Socks (udones) were sewn of woven cloth, and could be worn for warmth or as decorative items. In the latter case they would be brightly colored so as to show through the ornate open-work of the shoes, and might leave the toes and heel exposed. Socks worn strictly for warmth were more likely fully closed and not necessarily so colorful (see Cold-Weather Clothing page). A child's sock made of woven wool was found at Vindolanda, http://vindolanda.csad.ox.ac.uk:8080/exhibition/people-2.shtml#sock. Fancy shoes could also have a colorful cloth lining, eliminating the need for socks.

Highlights from Sotheby's Islamic, South Asian, and Middle Eastern week in London. (AN Photo/Tamara Turki)
Collection exhibited in London as part of auction house’s Islamic, South Asian, Middle Eastern week
Exhibition works include 20th-century MENA art, 19th-century orientalist paintings, historical artifacts from Islamic world
LONDON: An auction of almost 100 works of Middle Eastern art from Abdulrahman Al-Zayani, one of the region’s leading collectors, on Tuesday sold for nearly $2.9 million at Sotheby’s London.
Titled “Testimony of a Journey: The Al-Zayani Collection,” the collection featured an eclectic mix of themes, mediums, and aesthetics produced over the last century by artists from Egypt, Turkiye, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and North Africa.
In a statement, the Al-Zayani family said: “As we open the doors to our collection, the overarching sense is that these pieces were acquired with love, and we are excited for them to go to new homes where they will be discovered and appreciated anew.”
Prior to the live auction, the entire collection was showcased by Sotheby’s from April 20 to 25 at London galleries as part of its Islamic, South Asian, and Middle Eastern week.
The pieces had been expected to fetch around $1.4 million in the auction but were sold for more than double the pre-auction estimates.
The five-day exhibition also presented highlights from four auctions of sought-after works from across centuries and continents.
“41 Kere (41 Times) (41 works)” by Ardan Ozmenoglu from “Testimony of a Journey: The Al-Zayani Collection"
During the collection’s private viewing on Sunday, all eyes were on “41 Kere (41 Times) (41 works)” by Ardan Ozmenoglu. The colorful light installation reiterates the Turkish loanword of Masha-Allah, an Arabic expression commonly used to convey praise or appreciation of beauty.
However, the Al-Zayani collection shined brightly both as individual pieces as well as a cohesive ensemble assembled on the gallery walls. It is further amplified by works from the 20th-century art, Middle East auction in the room next door.
“Look At Me In Colour” by Hassan Hajjaj from the 20th Century Art / Middle East auction. (Sotheby’s)
The curated selection displayed a breadth of creativity from the time period, including modern Iranian art, contemporary paintings by female artists, and a mixed media work by Moroccan Hassan Hajjaj.
According to Sotheby’s, the sale is led by an important painting by A
ref El-Rayess from his iconic desert series produced while he was living in Jeddah.
“The Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem” by Carl Cowen Schirm from the Orientalist Sale. (Sotheby’s)
Meanwhile, the schism between East and West is bridged in Sotheby’s Orientalist sale. It included 19th- and early 20th-century paintings of North Africa, the Levant, Arabia, and the Ottoman world by renowned artists such as Rudolf Ernst, Frederick Arthur Bridgman, and Jean-Leon Gerome.
The auction house said: “The beautiful and intriguing architecture and landscapes appealed to the Western market for many decades.”
From depictions of historical landmarks, such as Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, to representations of bustling marketplaces in Tashkent, the art serves as a valuable historical record of the region.
And chronicling back as early as 1861, the “Arts of the Islamic World and India” auction exhibited a variety of rare artifacts including an important Mamluk genealogical scroll, and a monumental Kufic Qur’an leaf.

Judge’s Disallowance of Single Interrogatory Results in Reversal of Summary Judgment
Court of Appeal’s Majority Finds Triable Issue As to Whether Lenders That Accessed Consumer Reports Were Making ‘Firm Offer of Credit’
By a MetNews Staff Writer
Div. Three of the Fourth District Court of Appeal, in a 2-1 decision, yesterday reversed a summary judgment in favor of two lenders that were sued by a consumer over accessing her credit reports without her consent, holding that the trial judge erred in denying a motion to compel a response to an interrogatory which might have given the plaintiff the evidence she needed to prevail.
At issue was whether the conduct of accessing credit reports and sending out solicitations to those with good credit was authorized by Civil Code §1785.11(b)(2) which permits such access where a lender intends to make a “firm offer of credit to the consumer.” The defendants—CashCall, Inc. and LoanMe, Inc.—insisted that in sending a solicitation to the plaintiff, they did intend to deposit funds in her account if she accepted the offer.
In the absence of such an intent, a consumer whose records have been examined can recover civil penalties up to $2,500 for each privacy breach.
The interrogatory which Orange Superior Court Judge Walter P. Schwarm said the defendants did not need to answer asked “how many of the consumers were actually given loans” among those who were sent solicitations.
The majority opinion was authored by Justice Eileen C. Moore and joined in by Acting Presiding Justice William W. Bedsworth. Justice Richard M. Aronson dissented.
“We think this interrogatory was highly relevant to the lenders’ intent. That is, the answer would have provided circumstantial evidence relevant to the issue of whether the lenders intended to honor the proposed loan terms if consumers such as Sosa accepted the mailed offers.”
“Indeed, the trial court’s rulings dealt a ‘one-two punch’ to her lawsuit: the court first prohibited Sosa from obtaining relevant evidence; then the court dismissed her case, in part, for lack of relevant evidence.”
In his dissent, Aronson insisted that Schwarm “did not err in concluding the interrogatory was overbroad and irrelevant because a response would not show the lenders did not make a bona fide offer of credit to Sosa.”
“The lenders expressly guaranteed they would honor the credit offers if Sosa continued to meet the prescreening qualifications. The mailed offers stated the loan amount “will be electronically deposited’ upon approval verification.”
The jurist said that “based solely on the mailed offers, the lenders met their initial burden to show they would have honored the offer if Sosa had accepted and remained qualified” and that the burden then shifted to Sosa to show the existence of a disputed fact. She failed to meet that burden, he opined, declaring:
“There simply is no basis to conclude there is a triable issue on whether the lenders would have honored their mailed offer when Sosa presented no evidence she or anyone else accepted the offer but were rejected by the lenders.”
The case is Sousa v. CashCall, Inc., 2020 S.O.S. 2326.

'Stay hydrated, stay cool and stay safe': Austin, Travis County officials warn of heat risks
Austin has been under an excessive heat warning, putting residents — especially those most vulnerable — at risk for heat-related illnesses.
Temperatures have been at or near 100 degrees, and with no end in sight, Austin and other cities in the area have offered places like rec centers and libraries as cooling centers to give people some relief.
Austin and Travis County officials said the city is helping residents prepare by spreading awareness about signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses and offering tips about how to stay safe while outdoors.
Robert Luckritz, chief of Austin-Travis County EMS, said paramedics have been out making sure people in the community get the help they need.
“Our community health paramedic team has been working very diligently,” he said “They are actively participating in reaching out to the most vulnerable in the community — both unhoused individuals and others they encounter every day, ensuring they have adequate water, ensuring they are aware of all the cooling centers that are available and the bus routes they can take to get there.”
Paramedics have seen a dramatic increase in calls for heat-related emergencies. Since April 1, he said, ATCEMS has recorded 166 heat-related incidents — 92 of those in June alone. Eighty-eight have occurred in the last two weeks.
Triple-digit temperatures are expected throughout the summer, and officials offer residents these tips to stay safe:
- Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water.
- Look before you lock: make sure kids and pets are not in the car before locking it.
- Check in on people: elderly friends, family members and neighbors.
- Protect yourself: wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, apply and reapply sunscreen, and take breaks in the shade.
Ken Snipes, director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management for the city, said when the heat index reaches well above 100 degrees it poses a risk to everyone.
“We encourage Austinites to stay hydrated, stay cool, and stay safe in these conditions,” he said. “And to be aware of what to do if you come across someone who may be showing signs of a heat illness.”
Heat stroke symptoms can include confusion; loss of consciousness; and hot, red, dry or damp skin. Heat exhaustion, which can progress to a stroke, present as cool, pale, clammy skin, weakness, dizziness, heavy sweating, and nausea or vomiting.
“We all need to understand, and it’s important to understand, the signs and symptoms of heat-related illness,” Luckritz said.
Austin Energy interim General Manager Stuart Reilly said crews are on standby to respond immediately to outages, but said they are not expected at this time. Residents are still being encouraged to conserve energy to lighten the load on the grid.
Homeowners and renters can help by turning up thermostats a few degrees, keeping curtains drawn and blinds closed to reduce the amount of sunlight, unplugging appliances not in use and turning off lights when not in the room.
“I want people to take this seriously,” County Judge Andy Brown said. “There are simple precautions you can take at home. And if you have to go outside, drink plenty of water, take breaks and listen to your body.”

Back in DC, or more specifically, Bethesda. An easy flight over, though not comfortable with what felt like cramped Economy Plus (how did they make it less wide) and guy next to me with wide shoulders. Fortunately Kendall had the window, so I could lean from the middle over to her side slightly.
It was nice to be able to listen to music un-interrupted throughout the flight, and read on the iPad from board to de-plane. I could get used to that, and I think the flight attendants already have. They didn't even do much of a landing check, leaving my seat reclined slightly and not noticing. I suspect that airplane flights will be inconsistent and somewhat slack from here on out as headphones remain in people's ears.
We arrived late, and were slow to get out of Dulles and slow to get a car. We hit the hotel around 10:30, and most kitchens were closed. Fortunately we found a bar a couple blocks down that we walked to and had a late night burger. I really didn't think about the dinner portion of our trip, but Kendall didn't complain.
It was hard to get up this morning, and I struggled to get up at 7 to work out, but I felt better afterwards. Need to remember that tomorrow. I let Kendall sleep in until 8:30 when we met my Mom for breakfast.
Now Kendall has a grandma day, shopping and stuff while I work a bit and speak. Looking like a good trip so far.

The senior judge who examined the activities of serial killer Dr Harold Shipman said there is "still a risk of a deliberate killing going unrecognised".
In 2003 Dame Janet Smith recommended establishing medical examiners to independently scrutinise all deaths.
They are to be rolled out in England and Wales this year, but there is no date set for Northern Ireland.
Dame Janet said she did not believe patient killings such as the Shipman murders had occurred, but had concerns there could still be a cover-up under the current death certification process in Northern Ireland.
In an interview with BBC News NI, she said: "The deliberate killing of a patient is thankfully very rare.
"It is however a fact that the health service sometimes closes ranks in the face of criticism and is prepared to cover-up failings in the system and in the conduct of medical professionals."
She added: "I don't want to sound alarmist and I'm not saying there is another Shipman out there.
"But the medical examiner system was also designed to detect the cover-up of medical negligence, which I'm sorry to say is not uncommon, as a number of high-profile health inquiries have proved in recent years."
How are deaths investigated in Northern Ireland?
If the cause of death is unknown or is caused by violence or negligence it is usually referred to the coroner for further investigation.
When someone is believed to have died of natural causes, a doctor completes a certificate stating the cause of death.
However, there is currently no independent verification that this cause of death is appropriate or correct in Northern Ireland.
Dame Janet's comments come a year on from the publication of the Hyponatraemia Inquiry report, the largest healthcare inquiry in Northern Ireland's history.
It examined the deaths of five children in Northern Ireland hospitals.
The Hyponatraemia Inquiry found there was a "cover-up", but no suggestion of deliberate medical wrongdoing.
It found some deaths were not referred to the coroner immediately to "avoid scrutiny".
That inquiry also recommended the establishment of medical examiners here.
But examiners cannot be introduced without legislation being passed by the Northern Ireland Assembly, which collapsed in January 2017.
Commenting on the delay Dame Janet said: "From what I read in the newspapers there is no immediate prospect of the restoration of Stormont and Brexit continues to dominate political debate.
"To set up a truly independent medical examiner's office you need funding and political will. Without the Stormont executive it's going to be, I would have thought, impossible to set up in Northern Ireland."
She added: "The Hyponatraemia Inquiry was yet another healthcare inquiry which found that families had been treated badly and concerns about their loved ones' deaths had been rubbished.
"The pattern is always the same and without the safeguard of a medical examiner, I'm afraid to say, there is a risk of medical mistakes remaining undetected. Very little has changed since my recommendations from 2003."
A spokesperson for the Department of Heath said: "The introduction of an independent medical examiner will have implications for policy areas across government departments and will require new legislation and appropriate infrastructure to support it."
What has changed since Shipman?
The Shipman Inquiry looked at the deaths of 494 of Harold Shipman's patients over a 24-year period from 1974 to 1998.
Following the public inquiry into the Harold Shipman deaths, Dame Janet Smith recommended establishing independent medical examiners, employed by local authorities, to examine all deaths not reported to a coroner.
The UK government has announced plans to have a national medical examiner service operational in England and Wales from April 2019.
However Dame Janet said she was sceptical about whether or not the service would be ready by April this year and raised concerns about how independent it would be.
A spokesperson for the UK Department of Health said independence would be ensured by the fact that service was being overseen by a National Medical Examiner that would be "completely independent of the organisations whose patients' deaths are being scrutinised".

from Toronto, before she nibbled away at another bite
of white cheddar. "I don't think I've ever had

destination for Americans, lies in the central to
southern coastline of the Atlantic Ocean. Its neighbor

numbers around four million, thanks to its open-door
immigration policy, is steeped with European ancestry,

as it's never too hot or too cold, although high winds,
seasoned with the purest of air, sometimes ride in
from the Atlantic and mingle with breezes scented
with peppery eucalyptus and pine.
While just a few thousand feet of the ancient waters
of the Rio de la Plata separate the western edge of
Uruguay from Argentina, the two countries are nothing
if not worlds apart. While Argentina is fast, popping,
and sizzling with energy, Uruguay offers a quiet,

is also becoming a center for wine. The climate, with
its cool evenings and warm days, is perfect for growing
grapes, and the boutique wine industry - and in some
cases, as with Narbona, the cheese industry - has
really exploded over the past few years. With the
backdrop of vineyards heavy with chardonnay and Shiraz
grapes dappling the sun-baked hillsides around the

idyllic for long bicycling or hiking jaunts. In the

brightly woven against the gossamer-blue sky. Since
there is little or no traffic - except the occasional
rattle of a horse and cart as it hobbles down the
terra cotta clay roads - listen carefully, for in
the distance, the forest trembles with the calls of

Of course, you need a place to stay as you explore

but with the American dollar at a premium, you can
pamper yourself at a full-service resort and spa like
the Four Seasons, which is set directly on the Rio

The Four Seasons is the quintessential South American
experience. Set deeply amid tall pines and fragrant
eucalyptus, the woods are also stippled with an occasional

The vast acreage of the Four Seasons, with its world-class
(and toe-curling!) spa, golf course that seems destined
to be one of the world's best, and back-to-nature
outdoor showers, is the perfect place for learning
about more about local birds, trees, and flowers.
Drawing luminaries such as Robert Duvall, the resort
is a great home base for exploring Uruguay's river

On Reddit, a brand fresh MCU poster has leaked, showcasing an all-new and improved Avengers crew. The image features several fan-favorite characters in their new outfits, including Thor, Jane Foster, and several others.
The image, shared on Reddit, depicts Spider-Man alongside a new Avengers team that includes Shang-Chi, Kamala Khan — aka Ms. Marvel, Okoye, Groot, The Wasp, Star-Lord, Thor and Jane Foster. In the background, Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man can also be seen.
The image of Thor has been completely redesigned. It appears that Thor has given up on the silver plates and chainmail sleeves in favor of a more modern appearance. Instead, he is seen wearing gold-plated chest armor with patches of navy blue and wielding Stormbreaker, his new weapon for Mjølnir.
It appears that Foster, who has long been rumored to take up the position as Thor’s “right-hand woman,” has taken over for Thor. Jane Foster will become the new Thor and use Mjolnir to battle alongside her Asgardian boyfriend, according to reports.
Aside from the stronger protection, Thor and Jane are also seen wearing matching helmets in silver and gold, which are purposefully reminiscent of the Asgardian warriors that came before them and represent the power of gods.
Thor and Jane may steal the show, but eagle-eyed fans may notice that Black Panther’s body can be seen on the right-hand side of the poster, suggesting that his legacy will continue — without Chadwick Boseman.
The Black Panther suit appears to be the same as seen in Avengers: Endgame, with minor modifications.
Are you excited about seeing Thor and Jane in action when Thor: Love and Thunder releases on July 8, 2022? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Show synopsis Constance Lindsay Skinner (1877-1939) was a Canadian writer, critic, historian and editor. While little is known of her childhood, much of the history and many of the novels and stories she wrote in later years were related to the northwest, Canada, and the gold rush. Between 1902 and 1907 she moved from California to New York City, where she expanded her repertoire to include plays and criticism. She was a regular theatre critic for the New York Herald Tribune. While it is unclear when her first novel was published, by 1917, one of her novels, Good-Morning Rosamond!, had been adapted into a three act comedy and performed at the Shubert Theatre. In 1936 Skinner became the architect and first editor of the Rivers of America Series. In an essay published in the early volumes of the series she described it as being an exploration and interpretation of American folk life through the history, exploration, and flow of Americaas rivers. Originally conceived as 24 volumes, Skinner died at her desk, editing the sixth volume in the series, The Hudson, by Carl Carmer. The series would eventually reach 65 volumes.

Manila (AFP) – The Philippine economy grew 6.7 percent in 2017, remaining one of Asia’s best performers despite a weaker business process outsourcing industry, the government announced Tuesday.
Government spending ensured the country remained one of Asia’s fastest-growing major economies, behind only China and Vietnam, Economic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia told reporters.
However he said last year’s growth was slower than the 6.9 percent gross domestic product (GDP) rise in 2016, when consumer spending was boosted during elections that propelled President Rodrigo Duterte to power.
But the 2017 figure was “a good performance”, Pernia said, with China having reported 6.9 percent 2017 GDP growth last week and Vietnam achieving a 10-year-high expansion of 6.81 percent over the same period.
Philippine economic growth in the three months to December 2017 was at an annualised 6.6 percent clip, slower than the previous quarter’s 7.0 percent pace.
The business processing outsourcing industry, worth $23 billion and employing 1.15 million people, was a “major contributing factor to this decline”, Pernia said.
The sector, which has become a major pillar of the Philippine economy, includes call centres and offices that carry out such functions for overseas companies as accounting, medical and legal transcription, software design, animation and even architecture.
Industry officials said investment fell 31.3 percent year-on-year in the three months to last June, with threats by US President Donald Trump to bring back jobs outsourced abroad cited as a key factor.
There was also concern in the Philippines that automation and artificial intelligence could eventually steal call-centre jobs.
The Philippines’ fourth quarter growth was marginally lower than market expectations, said Sanjay Mathur, chief Southeast Asia and India economist for ANZ Research, adding the trade balance in the last two months of 2017 also deteriorated.
“The prospects for growth in the Philippines remain solid,” Mathur said, citing the passage last month of Duterte’s tax reform programme designed to raise funds for infrastructure spending.
State spending should reinforce already strong domestic demand, Mathur added.
Pernia said the government remained confident it would hit its growth target range of 7-8 percent this year, powered by Duterte’s vow to raise spending on transport, energy, and water supply infrastructure.

FROM a smartphone app that scans your vital signs to doctors treating their far distant patients through "face time" on their tablets or computers, technology is changing the way thousands of Australians access health care.
General Practitioner Ashley Collins is stationed more than 1000 kilometres from his patient but he can get a blood pressure reading without laying a hand on the company director.
Using a video link and a portable machine owned by the patient he can measure blood glucose, pulse rate, body temperature, cholesterol and even get an ECG measurement.
When he's completed his diagnosis he faxes a script to the chemist nearest his patient.
Dr Collins, from Temorah in central western NSW, uses a specialised computer to deliver this care but from next year he says patients will be able to do this from their mobile phone.
Already there are new devices including ultrasounds, ECG monitors, mirocroscopes and dermatascopes that can view skin cancers and blood pressure monitors that can be plugged into a smartphone.
A picture of an inner ear or throat taken on a smart phone can help a doctor diagnose and infection.
One app even allows you to scan your vital signs just by placing the phone on your forehead to measure heart rate, and body temperature.
DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY TO ACCESS HEALTH CARE? COMMENT BELOW
Telemedicine Australia GP Dr Collins is part of a network of 15 general practitioners and 270 specialists providing telemedicine to thousands of patients around Australia.
There is no Medicare rebate for the GP service he provides at a cost of $50 a session, a problem he thinks Medicare and health funds should remedy.
However, for those living outside a metropolitan area, a consultation with one of the 270 specialists connected to the service is free because it is covered by Medicare.
From next year he says telemedicine will be even easier to access, and families will be able to do everything from booking a doctors consultation to talking to the GP via facetiae, paying for the consult on their phone.
"You'll be able to do it while you're on a camping holiday, take an image of a child's sore throat, take their temperature on the phone and talk to the doctor who can send a script to the nearest chemist," he says.
Health fund Medibank is offering a similar service, connecting patients living outside metropolitan areas with around 40 specialists.
Anywhere Healthcare started in November 2012 and is close to providing its 1,500th consultation.
Telehealth was given a kickstart by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard who made Medicare rebates for the service the centrepiece of her 2010 election campaign.
Since the program began in June 2011 there have been over 70,000 telehealth consultations.
Medibanks' director of Online Care is predicting that his service will treat 12,000 patients in 2014-15.
Telemedicine Australia tries to provide a consult with a GP within 15 minutes of a patient requesting a service.
Anywhere Healthcare says some patients have to wait only two weeks to talk to a specialist when the typical wait for a face to face consult could be months.
Patients using telehealth save money and time because rural patients can avoid costly drives that might take hours to get to a big city specialist.
It's also saving the health system millions of dollars.
A Griffith University Study found a telepaediatric service provided by the Royal Children's Hospital in Brisbane to the towns of Mackay and Hervey Bay saved Queensland Health $600,000.
Another service that provided telehealth to 110 cancer patients living in Mount Isa saved $418,000.

A Delightful, Resourceful ‘Figaro’
This article is from the archive of The New York Sun before the launch of its new website in 2022. The Sun has neither altered nor updated such articles but will seek to correct any errors, mis-categorizations or other problems introduced during transfer.
Turning the corner of East Houston and the Bowery Saturday evening, I ran smack dab into a long line of prospective ticket buyers who appeared to be waiting to enter the Amato Opera for its current production of “The Marriage of Figaro.” Closer examination revealed they were actually attempting to attend the rock joint just next door, but I doubt seriously that any of them saw a better show. Amato’s “Figaro” turned out to be not only in good fun, but also — wonder of wonders — quite funny as well.
Now in its 59th season, Amato Opera is a throwback to New York’s roots. This Victorian dollhouse of a theater — actually in a basement — is remarkable for its miniature proportions, and the resident company, with a flair for the ingenious, is notable for utilizing every square inch of available space and every iota of valuable human resource: The usher dressed in 18th-century costume is both charming and also a member of the chorus. This is the opera equivalent to off-off-Broadway theater, in a neighborhood inextricably linked to the great Yiddish productions of the mid-19th through mid-20th centuries.
The tiny stage sits atop the small orchestra, Bayreuth style, so the strains of the instrumental have a certain faraway quality. The accompaniment is long on piano reduction (and in this particular case, harpsichord introduction) and thin but well-executed orchestration. Due to the proximity of the performers onstage, both direction and stage business are intricate, jewel-like constructions. This “Figaro” uses its claustrophobia to decided advantage. When Cherubino and Susanna hide from the Count in the boudoir of the Countess, the written hilarity is augmented by the almost ludicrous lack of space: Cherubino becomes a lumpy part of the sitting area of the one chair and eventually dives out of the window, as if following some immutable law of physics.
The Metropolitan Opera is making a lot of noise during this current off-season about its new production of “The Barber of Seville,” touting that some of its action may spill out onto the lip of the audience. At Amato, this is standard practice, as the characters often enter not from backstage, but rather from the stairway to the entrance of the theater itself. This night, Figaro led all of the women in the chorus through the entire crowd and they departed one by one, singing right into the ears of those in the aisle seats.The listener became part of the action. There is simply no fourth wall at the Amato Opera.
The troupe is part of a truly democratic repertory company. (Cast members come out and talk with the public during intermissions — try doing that uptown.) There are no less than six different Figaros for this present run of 12 performances. Tynan Davis as Cherubino provided the scene with the most satirical bite and the warmest sense of jocularity when, at the end of Act One, he was propelled into the army by the sardonic Nathan Hull’s Figaro, whose “non, piu andrai” — or whatever they would call it in this odd English version — proved, after an unfortunate false start, masterful. This was a terribly amusing scene, with the perky Mary Huhmann as Susanna marching along with a broom handle and a towel unfurled with flying colors, and oh that music!
All of the vocal performances were competent and some, like Ms. Huhmann’s, were excellent. But one player deserves special mention. Erik Kroncke’s Dr. Bartolo was full-voiced, richly resonant, and remarkably in character. His is a bass of astounding depth and warm timbre. Also, the comic timing of the Marcellina, Helen Van Tine, was impressive.
Although the overall experience at the Amato Opera Saturday evening was an enjoyable one, I do have a bone to pick with the troupe. Could Mozart have written a great opera to an English libretto? Of course, but this text is in Italian and Mozart geared all of his musical phrasings and constructions to encompass and adorn the particular lyrical poetry of Lorenzo Da Ponte. For the Amato, an Italian house after all, to bother with a translation — however atypical for the troupe — seemed positively heretical. It was as if they didn’t employ their fine orchestra for the overture and played a recording instead. Oh wait, that is exactly what they did.
Until October 15 (319 Bowery, at East 2nd Street, 212-228-8200).


Nikki Blonsky's father was released from jail after he was arrested for attacking former ANTM contestant Bianca Golden's mother at a Turks and Caicos airport. Nikki Blonsky and Bianca Golden were arrested after the incident. Bianca Golden's mother was seriously injured and was air lifted to a Miami hospital.
A day after Carl Blonsky, father of “Hairspray” star Nikki Blonsky, was released from jail, a new account has emerged of the fight between the Blonskys and former “America’s Next Top Model” contender, Bianca Golden.
Watch the aftermath of the Turks & Caicos fight video on youtube.
Michael Griffith, an attorney for the Blonskys told Access Hollywood their version of the July 30 airport brawl that included Carl Blonsky, his daughter Nikki, Bianca Golden, and Bianca’s mother, Elaine Golden.
He said Nikki Blonsky claimed the fight started when she told “ANTM” model Bianca Golden that she was holding the seats for her parents. Golden allegedly approached Blonsky, sticking her finger in her face, and called her a “white b--ch.” Nikki Blonsky claimed Golden punched her four times in the side of the head.
Following the alleged punching, Nikki’s brother got involved in the fight and Bianca’s mother, Elaine Golden, allegedly began choking Nikki Blonsky. Carl Blonsky attempted to break up the fight, according to the Blonskys’ lawyer.
“Nikki Blonsky was the victim of an unprovoked attack by the Goldens,” Griffith told Access.
He said they have 13 independent witnesses who saw the brawl.
Griffith confirmed to Access that Carl Blonsky has returned to New York after pleading not guilty to grievous bodily harm, which carries a maximum punishment of five years. He was released on $3,000 cash bail. Carl Blonsky was initially denied bail by a lower Turks and Caicos court. An appeal to the Turks and Caicos Supreme Court overturned the earlier ruling, Turks and Caicos Police Sergeant Calvin Chase told Access. source
Nikki Blonsky's dad is going to have to stew in jail -- a jail on Turks & Caicos, sure, but still a jail -- for a couple more weeks.
The judge in Providenciales Magistrates' Court just ruled that Carl Blonsky will have to wait until August 19 for bail. We were told earlier that Carl was going to argue that he needed to get back to the US because he has multiple health problems. Guess that didn't convince the judge.
Nikki was not in T&C for the hearing. The victim of Carl's alleged attack, model Bianca Golden's mother Eleine, has been released from a Miami ICU but is suffering from some major issues, like memory loss, a broken nose, and a "slurred left side."
And how's this for bitchtastic: the Blonsky family's lawyer says that Bianca's mom is goosing her injury status to help grease the wheels for a new lawsuit. Stay tuned. source


This paper presents the definition of lower deck elevation (LDE) of fixed offshore platforms in Mexican part of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), which were applied in the Mexican code for design and assessment of fixed offshore structures NRF-003-PEMEX-2007. This was obtained as a result of a decision methodology developed here, an optimization algorithm composed of an objective minimization function subject to a safety restriction and by the application of a set of real structural maintenance and equipment replacement costs. Platform projected service life dependent total costs of LDE contemplate expected costs of structural and equipment maintenance after the occurrence of tropical cyclones and northers, and the expected cost of equipment mobilization. This work regards a group of offshore platforms in the Bay of Campeche whose elevation lies between 15.85 and 19.10 m above mean sea level, as well as recent metocean hazard information. Similar expected values of total costs due to maintenance and repair were obtained, while safety constrains demand the LDE not to be less than +19.10 m.

What would a Deep State hit be without Hillary Clinton, the most crooked woman in Washington DC?
The Russian collusion canard failed so Adam Schiff, a Deep State snitch and their stenographers in the media are attacking President Trump with a new whistleblower ‘scandal.’
This new Deep State hit began effervescing last week when House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) subpoenaed Acting DNI Joseph Maguire and accused him of illegally withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress that could potentially be ‘covering up the president’s misconduct’ over a phone call he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Democrat-Deep State cabal is alleging Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani sought to manipulate the Ukrainian government into assisting Trump win the 2020 presidential election.
Joe Biden previously had Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired because he was investigating Joe Biden’s son Hunter — Giuliani asked the Ukrainian government to investigate Biden and now all of a sudden it’s Trump’s scandal.
And now the Democrats want a transcript of President Trump’s phone call with Zelensky.
The real scandal is that President Trump is being spied on and the legislative branch is trying to access his privileged and private conversations with foreign leaders with the help of a Deep State snitch.
Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Thursday appeared before the House Intelligence Panel in a closed-door, classified setting to testify about the whistleblower complaint.
According to a leak to CNN, IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Thursday said during his testimony to the House Intel Committee that he could not disclose details in the whistleblower complaint because the Justice Department said it was outside his jurisdiction being that he is in ODNI [Office of Director of National Intelligence].
The Trump Administration asserted executive privilege over the whistleblower complaint and now the media is spinning a new narrative that Trump is seeking the help of a foreign power to win in 2020 — and Hillary Clinton is helping push that narrative.
Like clockwork, Hillary Clinton jumped into the fray and attacked President Trump and accused him of ‘asking a foreign power’ to help him win a presidential election, AGAIN.
The president asked a foreign power to help him win an election.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 20, 2019
Hillary Clinton in 2016 asked many foreign countries to help her win the presidential election — and she still lost.
Hillary’s aides went to the Ukrainian embassy and got ‘dirt’ on Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort which was eventually used to put Manafort in prison.
Crooked Hillary also paid millions of dollar to a former British spy to compile a fake Russia dossier which she used to spy on her political opponent, Donald Trump.
President Trump defended himself again on Friday and slammed “Little Adam Schiff” and “highly partisan” whistleblowers seeking to harm his presidency.
….statement. Strange that with so many other people hearing or knowing of the perfectly fine and respectful conversation, that they would not have also come forward. Do you know the reason why they did not? Because there was nothing said wrong, it was pitch perfect!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2019
