A Chat With: "Noises Off" Director Dr. Alan Litsey
A Chat With: "Noises Off" Director Dr. Alan Litsey
For Immediate Release
Jan. 10, 2017
An interview with Dr. Alan Litsey, director and longtime BSC professor of theatre arts. The production, which is in three acts, will hit the stage Jan. 26-28 at 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 29 at 2:30 p.m. at the College Theatre as part of an Exploration Term class. Litsey will conduct a Provost's Forum “Noises Off: Speak Louder than Words” with company members on Tuesday, Jan. 24, at 11 a.m. at the College Theatre/Mainstage. Tickets are on sale.
Why did you choose this particular production for the 2017 E-Term project?
Noises Off is great fun and one of the most hilarious comedies ever written for the theatre.
Would you expand on the storyline of Noises Off being a play within a play?
When we meet the characters in Noises Off, they are surviving a late evening final dress rehearsal of a farce called Nothing On. Patience is thinning and tempers are rising. In Act Two, the company has been on the road for a month. But this time, the action is seen from backstage during an unfortunate performance of the play. Romantic jealousy, fatigue, and human frailty elevate the play's conflict. Missed opportunities, missed entrances, mistakes, and mishaps really “puts the FUN in dysFUNctional.”
Any surprises in the play for those who've seen the movie?
BSC's company brings unique, comic creativity to our production. There's nothing to rival Noises Off in a live performance, especially with BSC's talented students.
What's it been like for you working with this cast of students?
Inspiring. The entire company hit the ground running on Jan. 3. I have the privilege of collaborating with amazing student technicians, designers, and actors every day. Learning about the play and all its possibilities with our company is a director's dream.
Why is Noises Off considered a comedy classic?
The play within a play has been a beloved convention for generations. Noises Off is chock-full of recognizable human frailty, passion, slapstick humor, and word play. The play delights and surprises audiences brilliantly. Just when you think things could not go any further awry, more comic calamity greets this production of Nothing On. We are fascinated by “what can go wrong” in human endeavors. Backstage drama happens everywhere. The setting of this play happens to be the theatre. And it is delicious fun.
How many students are involved in the E-Term production?
Thirty students serve as technicians, designers, and actors. A unique aspect of E-Term is that students frequently wear more than one hat. For example, Darby Burgess is co-costume designer in collaboration with costumer Patti Manning in the morning hours, and performs the character of Brooke in afternoon rehearsals. Jackson Massey is props crew head, but also plays the character of Selsdon. Lighting designer Colton Hinderliter is working full time with his crew. Sarah Walker as stage manager keep us on track, and publicity manager Charlie Freeman has designed a plan to reach out across campus. (View names of full cast and creative team below.)
What usually goes through your head right before students take the stage for a performance?
As the company prepares to open, I'm excited to discover what we will learn about the play when we share our work with an audience.
Are there any unique challenges to putting on this production, other than the short time to prepare it?
A great deal of preparation goes on prior to January. Faculty, staff, and student leaders had already completed extensive work. Shannon Hickey serves as assistant director. Shannon and I had met with designers, and each other, prior to January. BSC Professor of Theatre Matthew Mielke had completed his set design in November; co-costume designers Patti Manning and senior Darby Burgess had also completed their design prior to E-Term.
Do you have a favorite scene from the play?
We're still in the early phases of rehearsal, so I'm very excited to see what students will bring to each scene. Noises Offshows how backstage drama can become an obstacle to bringing our best forward. I think that's a timely struggle, especially in today's heightened world of exaggeration, duplicity, and mixed messages.
How will the stage be transformed for this production?
The audience can see an onstage final dress rehearsal of the play within a play, Nothing On, as well as a very problematic performance from the perspective of backstage, supported unique stage revolve system. BSC's faculty, staff, and student designers are creating a colorful world for our topsy-turvy comedy to inhabit. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience this rip-snorter of a classic. The performances will be remarkable!

Home ImprovementDoor Lock Problems and How to Fix Them
You may also like:
A uPVC door is always a good solution for your home. Not only will it give your property a more modern look, especially if you decide to combine it with matching windows, but you will also get to experience a long list of benefits like an unlimited range of designs, noise isolation, security, etc.
But like all things, uPVC doors can develop problems over time and have weak spots. In this article, we are going to talk probably about the most common issue – why your uPVC door won’t lock when closed.
You see, uPVC doors aren’t like ordinary doors. They require more attention in terms of maintenance and certain issues may arise over time, including the door not being able to lock properly or the key spinning in the lock.
Weird as it sounds, the weather can actually be the reason why you have troubles properly closing your uPVC door. Basically, when it gets a bit warmer or colder than normal outside, the door starts to shrink, contract, and then – expand. It’s only by 1mm or 2mm, but that’s quite enough. Changes in temperature also speed up the process of uPVC door drop, but more on then in a bit.
How to fix it?
If your uPVC door isn’t closing properly due to weather conditions, one of the things you can do is wait for the temperatures to get back to normal. We understand that this isn’t the best-case scenario, especially regarding the security of your home. You can also try wetting a piece of cloth with cold or hot water, depending on if your door expanded or shrunk, and applying it to its surface.
This is probably the most common reason why your uPVC won’t lock when closed. What happens is that the locking points keep misaligning, making the door harder to open and close.
How to fix it?
In order to realign a dropped door, you have to adjust the hinges. That said, there isn’t only one type of hinges, but three – flag hinges, t-hinges, and butt hinges. And that’s not even all of it – each type of hinge has a different sort of adjuster that moves the door in a specific direction. Don’t worry – it’s not as complicated as it sounds. Now, here is what you need to do in order to fix each type:
Flag hinges have 3 sorts of adjustments: a height, lateral, and compression adjuster. As you’ve probably already guessed it, we are going to be working with the height adjuster. You will find the part located on the bottom section of the hinge, hidden under a removable plastic cap.
Now, what you are going to need for the job is a 5 mm Allen wrench. Insert the wrench into the adjuster and start turning it clockwise until the door lifts up back to its place. Once you are done, try to lock the door. If you still have a hard time closing it, adjust the height again. Make sure to adjust all of the hinges.
Similar to the flag hinge, t-hinges also have different kinds of adjusters – a height and lateral one. Basically, what you have to do is, like for the flag hinges, locate height adjuster and turn it until the door is in the right position. Again, don’t forget to adjust the height of the other hinges, too.
If you have an older uPVC door model, chances are it does have butt hinges. And do you know what butt hinge DON’T have? Height adjusters. In translation – if your door has dropped, you’ll have to reinstall the whole thing to fix it, and that can be only done by a professional.
A uPVC door locking mechanism is a very intricate and capricious thing. Over time it becomes weak and can break from the pressure of everyday use.
How to fix it? Once it breaks, you need to change it, so to make sure that doesn’t happen. Keep the lock well-lubed with WD-40 and don’t apply force when raising the handle.
Like we said earlier, some types of uPVC door repairs you can actually do yourself, while others are best left to be performed only by a professional. A broken lock mechanism falls exactly into that category. You can read more about why that’s a complex issue in our guide below.
Another very common issue is a faulty key cylinder. Such a problem can lead to not being able to lock the door properly or ending up with a stuck key. If the second has already happened to you, check our in-depth article on how to get out a key stuck in the lock.
How to fix it? Try a lubricant such as WD-40. It can penetrate and loosen the internal workings of the stuck cylinder. You might have to spray several times until the lubricant manages to penetrate deep enough to the root of the problem. However, it’s also possible that it won’t work and you’d have to change the entire lock.
If you’ve recently had a new key made, it could be poorly cut and thus causing problems inside the lock. Or maybe you’ve had a new cylinder fitted, but the spindle has been cut too short. If the key cannot turn at all, you’re either using the wrong one or an interior snib could have been engaged by accident.
How to fix it? Don’t use force, that will likely break the key while it’s still inside the lock. Try to spray some WD-40 in the lock to see if you will manage to turn and get the key out.
Trying to repair a uPVC door that won’t lock is hard, and frankly – sometimes impossible. So, no matter if your door has dropped or the locking mechanism decided to break, don’t worry as we’ve got a solution for every problem. Don’t bother yourself trying to figure out what type of door hinges you have and book our door repair services for a quick and easy fix.

A third-generation coal miner and Morgantown native, Benjamin M. Statler began his career as a laborer with Consolidation Coal in 1969 and worked the night shift while pursuing his bachelor's degree in mining engineering at West Virginia University.
He rose through the ranks at CONSOL to become senior vice president of mining in 1996. He later started his own mining company, PinnOak Resources LLC, acquiring assets from U.S. Steel Corporation. He currently serves as co-founder and chief executive officer of Gulf Coast Capital Partners, a private investment firm founded in 2008, which is focused on acquiring and providing capital to middle market companies in special situations.
In 2012, Statler and his wife, Jo, pledged $34 million to the College — the largest single gift commitment ever to the University and to a college; $11 million of the donation qualified for a match from the state's Research Trust Fund, making the total value of the naming gift $45 million.
Over the years, the Statlers have supported many WVU initiatives including the comprehensive breast cancer program at WVU's Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center; the new Erickson Alumni Center building; the Basketball Practice Facility and other Athletics capital improvements, including the Coliseum scoreboards. The direct impact of their lifetime of support to WVU is nearly $60 million.
The Statlers have received numerous honors, including Most Loyal West Virginians, the WVU Foundation's Outstanding Philanthropists Award, and the Milan Puskar Award. In 2009, they each received honorary doctorates from WVU during commencement ceremonies.
Statler is a member of the West Virginia University's Foundation Board of Directors and serves as a member of the College's Visiting Committee. He also is a member of the College's leadership team for the "A State of Minds" fund raising campaign.

Brad Pitt Lends His Voice For Joe Biden Campaign Ad - Check Out His Narration!
Brad Pitt is not only a supporter of Joe Biden for president, he is actually actively participating in the Biden-Harris campaign as well! The actor has lent his voice to a new presidential campaign ad that ran during game four of the World Series last night!
That’s right! The Hollywood superstar was the one who narrated the 60-seconds-long ad that shows the Democratic nominee meeting American citizens, shaking their hands and just listening to their ideas and worries.
As for Brad Pitt, he narrates over the footage that ‘America is a place for everyone. Those who chose this country, those who fought for it, some Republicans, some Democrats, and most just somewhere in between. Americans are looking for the same thing - someone who understands their hopes, their dreams, their pain, to listen, to bring people together, to get up every day and work to make life better for families like yours.’
This comes only a day after Brad's ex, and fellow actress Jennifer Aniston, took to her platform to reveal that she had voted for Joe Biden.
The Friends star decided to mail in her ballot early and took this opportunity to also drag independent candidate, rapper Kanye West, reminding people, in a PS, that voting for him is ‘irresponsible’ and ‘not funny.’
‘I voted for them because now this country's more divided than ever. Right now, a few men in power decide what women can and cannot do with their bodies. Our current President's decided that racism is a non issue. He has repeatedly and publicly ignored science... and too many people have died. The whole thing isn’t about one candidate or one single issue, it’s about the future of this country and of the world. Vote for equal human rights, for love, and for decency,’ Aniston wrote in the caption.

TROUBLE IN TIBET – HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA IN US HOSPITAL FOR PROSTATE TREATMENT
Trouble in Tibet troubles my heart. I have several serious concerns about Tibet, the Land, the people, and Government. The Institution of Dalai Lama is Tibet’s Government and it was forced into exile in March, 1959. Tibetans living in exile have the opportunity to participate in elections and choose their own representatives who run Tibetan Government-in-Exile. Tibetans living in occupied Tibet have no access to Government that represents Tibetan people. The global community of nations should not waste any more time and take action to uplift Tibetans from their troubles.

Dalai Lama enters US hospital
The Dalai Lama entered the Mayo Clinic in the American state of Minnesota earlier this week. The Buddhist spiritual leader from Tibet is 80-years-old and checked-in to the hospital for a medical exam Sunday, according to VOANews.com.
The Dalai Lama has received medical care at the Mayo Clinic before. The clinic said last week that he was having his yearly examination, but released no other details.
The Buddhist leader’s office published a statement on its website Friday. It said the Dalai Lama canceled appearances he planned for next month. His doctors said he should rest for the next several weeks.
The statement did not give further information about the condition of the Dalai Lama.
“We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this decision and apologize to all the people who have worked so hard in organizing the visit, as well as to the public,” his office said.
The Dalai Lama planned to visit Salt Lake City, Utah, Philadelphia,Pennsylvania and the University of Colorado in Boulder.
Last week, the Dalai Lama spoke to the British Broadcasting Corporation about the future. He talked about the kind of person he would like as his replacement.
He told the BBC he would accept a female as the Dalai Lama, but only if she is good-looking. He said: “The face must be very, very attractive. Otherwise, not much use.”
The BBC asked the Dalai Lama if he was serious when he said a woman must be attractive if she is to be named the Dalai Lama. The religious leader seemed to say he was. He later made a joke about his own looks: “I’m Bob Doughty”.

Harper: Obama power plan costly for Mississippi
The Supreme Court recently hit the pause button on what could be the single most costly government regulation in the history of our country. In a 5-4 decision, the justices ordered that implementation of President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan stop until a lower court determines whether the president’s signature environmental agenda item is in fact legal. While the legality of forcing the plan on every state in the nation is in question, the rule itself is just plain bad policy for Mississippi.
How does the Clean Power Plan negatively affect Mississippi families? It’s simple: by raising our electric bills. From a more technical aspect, the plan threatens electricity reliability and affordability by impacting Mississippi’s current power plant mix (think shutting down coal plants) through further regulation of carbon dioxide emissions. Imagine that — the Environmental Protection Agency wants to place more restrictions on us.
It’s not that we shouldn’t be concerned about our environment; we absolutely should. As Mississippians, we have a proud history of taking care of our environment and being conservationists. We all want clean air and water and we want to preserve our environment for the future of our children, but we also have to use common sense to balance a clean environment with economic development and the cost of keeping our lights on. It seems that every time the EPA finalizes a rule or regulation, it sets out to expand it. That makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Mississippi business and industry to comply and plan for the future. It’s hard to hit the bullseye when the target is constantly moving.
Although the Clean Power Plan will have a negative impact on the entire country, it affects Mississippi even more severely than most states. Utility companies and electric power associations in Mississippi have made significant financial investments to reduce CO2 emissions over the last several years. These investments have resulted in our state being ranked as the 13th best CO2 emission state in 2012. No credit was given for that progress. In fact, we’re punished for the progress that we have made. The EPA wants Mississippi to make a cut so drastic that we’ll have nearly the highest cost recovery in the country — a cost that will be paid for by Mississippi families.
Twenty-seven states have sued the federal government over the Clean Power Plan. Last year, Mississippi’s congressional delegation made our objections known to the Obama administration. The U.S. House and Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 24 last December to block the plan. Obama vetoed the resolution in an effort to save his agenda item. And while a veto might have stalled our progress, there are still battles to be fought.
So while the Supreme Court ruling to pause the implementation of the Clean Power Plan is good news, I won’t be satisfied until it is no longer a threat to Mississippi families and businesses. That might take an act of Congress with a Republican in the White House to approve it.
Gregg Harper is a fourth-term Republican lawmaker for the 3rd Congressional District of Mississippi.

All Songs +1: Beach House Talks About Their New Song
There's a new album coming from Beach House, the dreamy Baltimore-based duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally. That album, called Depression Cherry, comes out on Sub Pop on Aug. 28. Today we get to hear a first song from the album, called "Sparks," and Bob Boilen interviewed Beach House about it.
This week marks the mid-point of 2015, and the All Songs Considered team is ready to take stock. On this week's show, we share our favorite music from debut albums released in the first half of this year. It's only June, but we picked the music we're already eyeing for our year-end lists in December.
Melbourne guitarist and singer Courtney Barnett has been an NPR Music favorite since I caught three of her performances at New York's CMJ Music Festival in 2013. Her blend of witty lyricism and deadpan delivery made for two excellent EPs, and this year a full-length that will surely end up at the very top of my year-end list, Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. Barnett just wrapped up a sold-out tour in support of the album, and I invited her to stop by between D.C. shows to act as our Guest DJ for this week's episode of All Songs Considered. I saw both of Barnett's shows at the 9:30 Club, and the crowds were full of younger fans, but also many of their parents. It's clear from the music she picked to play on our show that her musical sensibility, like her sound, spans decades. The influential artists Courtney Barnett discovered as a kid — Australian folk and rock bands, Wilco, Talking Heads — came to her through family and friends young and old, in school and at shows. Words are often at heart of those songs. It's no surprise for someone who writes such amazing, conversational lyrics, but Barnett is huge fun to talk to, and she was excited to talk about the music that the loves, not just the music she makes.
London poet, playwright, and hip-hop artist Kate Tempest was Bob Boilen's favorite discovery from the SXSW festival this year. Her gripping performance style and obvious commitment to connecting deeply with her audience led Bob to her stunning 2014 record, Everybody Down, a searing but empathetic character study of three young Londoners. We asked Tempest to be our guest DJ on this week's episode of All Songs Considered to find out the story behind her stories. Unsurprisingly, the songs by other musicians that she chose to play point feature sharp, contemplative lyrics and artists who have never compromised their work in the name of popularity or commercial success. From a life-changing experience with the rapper RZA to the Dylan that woke her up to the power of words, the music Tempest talks about on our show is all about the ways music can break down walls to communicate directly with whoever's listening.
New Music from Dan Auerbach, Joan Shelley, Beauty Pill, More
On this week's episode of All Songs Considered, we've got an album announcement from a new band featuring Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and song premieres from Widowspeak and Joan Shelley. We've also got an incredible story, one that surrounds the latest release from D.C. band Beauty Pill. The album, Beauty Pill Describes Things As They Are, was made following bandleader Chad Clark's brush with death, but Clark doesn't just tell his own story on the album's songs. The song we play on the show, "Steven and Tiwonge," is a profound tale of two more real-life people that's every bit as urgent and meaningful as Clark's own struggle
Much has been written about the technology behind music streaming services, and about how much they cost (or don't) for listeners and make (or don't) for artists. But what about the actual, daily experience of listening in the age of the stream? For our show this week, Bob is joined in the studio by Jacob Ganz, who created Streaming At The Tipping Point, an NPR Music series about streaming services and how they're changing the way we find, consume, own and archive our music. The conversation takes on what we gain and lose when we have an unprecedented amount of music at our fingertips, but none of it is tangible. Both Bob and Jacob tell stories of physical album artwork leading to musical discovery (Bob's of Led Zeppelin, Jacob's of Portuguese artist Lô Borges), which leads to the question, how can a forward-looking digital service preserve the best parts of the past? We've got some ideas — Spotify can thank us later.
The amps on All Songs Considered this week never dip lower than 11. Bob is joined in the studio by a sleep-deprived Katie Presley, who just moved across the country in a packed truck and has the road trip anthem to prove it, along with NPR Music's Lars Gotrich, who brings us a brooding, multihyphenate premiere and a small explosion of rocket-fueled punk. Bob has the return of a beloved songwriter we've missed for several years, and a perfectly-named debut. These songs don't all have light subject matter — a terrifying bout of sleep paralysis informed one of this week's artists and another track grapples with identity and familial connectedness — but their energy never flags. It's shaping up to be a summer of music brewed at full strength.
On this week's All Songs Considered, Bob is joined in the studio by NPR Music's Katie Presley and Jacob Ganz and the crew sets its sights on discovery. None of the musicians featured in this episode have ever been played on All Songs before — we set out to find artists aiming for different musical targets than we're used to. We found a piercing look at anxiety in the face of romantic revelation, an R&B/dance hybrid that spans more genres than it does minutes, an unflappable retort to unforgivable behavior and a song that sounds like the soundtrack to an '80s prom ... for ghosts. Nobody else is doing what these six artists are doing, and we can't wait to see where each of them goes from here.
Even if you don't know anything about jazz, it's quite possible you've heard the music of saxophonist Kamasi Washington: That's him on the latest albums by Kendrick Lamar and Flying Lotus. But that's only the very tip of his iceberg. His new album The Epic, just released on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, is a 3-CD, nearly three-hour effort performed by a 10-piece band, strings and a choir. For this week's All Songs +1 podcast, Bob Boilen is joined by NPR Music producer Patrick Jarenwattananon, who works on the Jazz Night In America radio show and webcast series, to discuss the new album
What song makes you cry? It could be "Adagio for Strings," but it could also be "Highway to Hell." As you'll learn on this week's All Songs Considered, the music that gets us weeping can have as much, or more, to do with association than with composition. Last week we sent out a request for songs that make our listeners cry. After reading (and sniffling) through more than 7,000 responses, we've pulled ourselves together and are ready to share a few.

The Importance of Helpline Services
In today’s fast-paced and often stressful world, many individuals face various challenges that can leave them feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Whether it’s mental health issues, relationship problems, financial difficulties, or any other personal crisis, having someone to turn to for support and guidance is invaluable. This is where contact hotlines, such as the one with the number 61001116, play a crucial role in providing a lifeline to those in need.
Confidentiality and Anonymity
One of the most significant advantages of contact hotlines is the assurance of confidentiality and anonymity. When individuals are going through difficult times, they may be hesitant to discuss their problems openly. The hotline offers a safe and non-judgmental space where callers can share their concerns without fear of repercussions or their identity being revealed. This sense of security allows people to be more honest about their struggles, facilitating a more effective conversation and providing appropriate support.
Another crucial aspect of helpline services is their availability around the clock. Life doesn’t adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule, and emergencies or crises can occur at any time. The hotline’s 24/7 support ensures that help is just a phone call away, regardless of the time of day or night. This accessibility is essential for individuals in distress who may feel isolated or overwhelmed during non-business hours. The knowledge that someone is always there to listen and offer assistance can provide immense relief and comfort.
Trained and Empathetic Volunteers
Hotlines like the one with the number 61001116 are staffed by dedicated volunteers who have undergone rigorous training to handle a wide range of situations. These individuals possess the skills and knowledge required to listen actively, empathize with callers, and guide them towards resources and solutions. Their non-judgmental and compassionate approach helps create a supportive environment in which callers feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate their challenges.
Referrals and Resources
While contact hotlines offer immediate emotional support, they also provide valuable referrals and resources that can assist individuals in addressing their specific needs. Whether it’s directing callers to mental health professionals, counseling services, legal advisors, or financial assistance programs, helpline operators have access to a wealth of information and can guide callers towards appropriate help. These referrals and resources can be a vital stepping stone towards resolving issues and finding long-term solutions.
Lived Experience and Personal Connection
What sets contact hotlines apart from other forms of support is the provision of lived experience and personal connection.

The badass Coastie who leapt aboard a moving narco sub will receive an award
That Coast Guardsman who banged on the hatch of a semi-submersible to catch a couple of alleged cartel drug runners in a viral video is now up for an award, the top enlisted Coast Guardsman said Wednesday.
"We will definitely recognize that person" with an appropriate award, said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard Jason Vanderhaven.
Vanderhaven made the remark at a Pentagon news conference with other senior enlisted officers on a range of issues. He did not say when or where the award would be given or what type of award it would be. Coast Guard awards are similar to those in the Navy.
The Coastie in the dramatic video has yet to be identified, but he performed a "tremendous feat of bravery" in leaping onto the semi-submersible and rushing forward to bang on the hatch, Vanderhaven said.
The incident took place June 17, 2019, in the Eastern Pacific when two rigid-hulled inflatables from the Coast Guard Cutter Munro, out of Alameda, California, caught up to the semi-submersible.
After demands to stop were ignored, a Coast Guard boarding team jumped onto the moving vessel and arrested the alleged drug runners.
The capture of the semi-submersible was one of 14 interdictions carried out by the Munro and two other cutters off the coasts of Mexico and Central and South America between May and July 2019, according to the Coast Guard.
The interdictions resulted in the confiscation of "39,000 pounds of cocaine and 933 pounds of marijuana, worth a combined estimated total of $569 million," according to the service.

The inside story of how The Village People shot the Navy's most controversial recruiting video onboard an active warship
The video opens innocently enough. A bell sounds as we gaze onto a U.S. Navy frigate, safely docked at port at Naval Base San Diego. A cadre of sailors, dressed in "crackerjack" style enlisted dress uniforms and hauling duffel bags over their shoulders, stride up a gangplank aboard the vessel. The officer on deck greets them with a blast of a boatswain's call. It could be the opening scene of a recruitment video for the greatest naval force on the planet.
Then the rhythmic clapping begins.
This is no recruitment video. It's 'In The Navy,' the legendary 1979 hit from disco queens The Village People, shot aboard the very real Knox-class USS Reasoner (FF-1063) frigate. And one of those five Navy sailors who strode up that gangplank during filming was Ronald Beck, at the time a legal yeoman and witness to one of the strangest collisions between the U.S. military and pop culture of the 20th century.
"They picked the ship and they picked us, I don't know why," Beck, who left the Navy in 1982, told Task & Purpose in a phone interview from his Texas home in October. "I was just lucky to be one of 'em picked."
Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Tuesday casually brushed aside the disturbing news that, holy shit, MORE THAN 100 ISIS FIGHTERS HAVE ESCAPED FROM JAIL.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Esper essentially turned this fact into a positive, no doubt impressing public relations and political talking heads everywhere with some truly masterful spin.
"Of the 11,000 or so detainees that were imprisoned in northeast Syria, we've only had reports that a little more than a hundred have escaped," Esper said, adding that the Syrian Democratic Forces were continuing to guard prisons, and the Pentagon had not "seen this big prison break that we all expected."
Well, I feel better. How about you?
On Wednesday, the top U.S. envoy in charge of the global coalition to defeat ISIS said much the same, while adding another cherry on top: The United States has no idea where those 100+ fighters went.
A senior administration official told reporters on Wednesday the White House's understanding is that the SDF continues to keep the "vast majority" of ISIS fighters under "lock and key."
"It's obviously a fluid situation on the ground that we're monitoring closely," the official said, adding that released fighters will be "hunted down and recaptured." The official said it was Turkey's responsibility to do so.
President Trump expressed optimism on Wednesday about what was happening on the ground in northeast Syria, when he announced that a ceasefire between Turkey and the Kurds was expected to be made permanent.
"Turkey, Syria, and all forms of the Kurds have been fighting for centuries," Trump said. "We have done them a great service and we've done a great job for all of them — and now we're getting out."
The president boasted that the U.S.-brokered ceasefire had saved the lives of tens of thousands of Kurds "without spilling one drop of American blood."
Kade Kurita, the 20-year-old West Point cadet who had been missing since Friday evening, was found dead on Tuesday night, the U.S. Military Academy announced early Wednesday morning.
"We are grieving this loss and our thoughts and prayers go out to Cadet Kurita's family and friends," Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, superintendent of West Point, said in the release.
The U.S. Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon effort looked a lot more possible this week as the three competing weapons firms displayed their prototype 6.8mm rifles and automatic rifles at the 2019 Association of the United States Army's annual meeting.
Just two months ago, the Army selected General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems inc., Textron Systems and Sig Sauer Inc. for the final phase of the NGSW effort — one of the service's top modernization priorities to replace the 5.56mm M4A1 carbine and the M249 squad automatic weapon in infantry and other close-combat units.
Army officials, as well as the companies in competition, have been guarded about specific details, but the end result will equip combat squads with weapons that fire a specially designed 6.8mm projectile, capable of penetrating enemy body armor at ranges well beyond the current M855A1 5.56mm round.
There have previously been glimpses of weapons from two firms, but this year's AUSA was the first time all three competitors displayed their prototype weapons, which are distinctly different from one another.


A report in The Nation last week spoke of pressure on members of the National Assembly Committee on Constitution Review to create new states. Already, as many as 57 requests are pending before the legislature.
As I understand it some elements within the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Presidency see this as some sort of trump card that could give them an edge in national elections next year.
Whatever may be the selfish calculations driving it, the push for new states is nothing short of scandalous. The bulk of the existing 36 states are insolvent. Most of them cannot pay workers’ salaries. Lots cannot survive without the monthly hand out from the Federation Account.
The performance of these entities has exposed the limit to which state creation can be a tool for developing the country. Much of what passes for development activities begin and end in these one-street state capitals.
This is not just about the ingenuity of governors in imposing more tax burdens on hapless citizens in the name of generating internal revenue. It is about the fact that the cash from the center cannot carry the lumbering bureaucracies and expense outlets that would come with the so-called new states. All reasonable people should oppose this nonsense.

How appropriate that on this Remembrance Day, when we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, comes news that Cuban blogger and activist Yoani Sánchez is out of jail and blogging once again. Sanchez has been arrested and detained on two occasions during the last month.
When Sanchez was freed, she tweeted to her 355,423 followers, “Once again I can walk along the streets of Havana after being detained for several hours. I am fine. Thanks for your support!”
Sometimes we take for granted our freedom of expression. But one doesn’t have to look far to see others for whom such a freedom is a luxury they don’t have, but one for which they continue to fight.

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin highlighted his attempts to speak with lawmakers about the border crisis Monday on “Special Report.”
BILL MELUGIN: A lot of people who didn’t want to talk about the border. Some wouldn’t look us in the eye. We wanted to talk to Ayanna Pressley. She was one of the politicians who falsely smeared the horseback border patrol agents, did so a few weeks ago on the one-year anniversary. Wanted to talk to Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the homeland security committee. He said he had a speech to go to. Wouldn’t talk to us. Obviously we wanted to get Secretary Mayorkas. Reached out to DHS the week before we were out here. Gave them a heads-up that we were going to be here asked him for an interview. DHS never replied to us, so we went to him. Wanted to see if he would say anything about the border. And apparently couldn’t spare a few seconds.
BORDER OFFICIALS COUNT 599,000 ‘GOTAWAY’ MIGRANTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2022: SOURCE
[The numbers on the border] they keep getting worse. We set the record last year fiscal year 2021, 1.7 million illegal crossings. We just broke the record again this year, fiscal year 2022- 2.1 million crossings so far. We are waiting for the September numbers. And now the got away numbers are shooting through the roof as well. We just finished this fiscal year with 599,000 known gotaways according to CBP sources. That’s 50,000 people a month sneaking past our border patrol without ever getting caught.

A pent-up urge to travel is driving tourist numbers in southern Europe back to pre-pandemic highs. But understaffed resorts and gridlocked airports are frustrating the desire of many holidaymakers for a stress-free break in the sun.
Acute high-season labour shortages caused by an exodus of workers during a virtual shutdown of the industry in 2020, and only a partial recovery last year, are forcing tourism operators in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal to offer better pay and conditions, raise prices and cut services.
“The era of fast, frequent and cheap holidays is over,” said Cristina Siza Vieira, executive vice-president of the Portuguese Hoteliers Association, adding that workers “are often finding they can earn more in jobs that leave their evenings and weekends free.” Hotel owners on Portugal’s Algarve coast said a lack of staff has forced them to turn down wedding and baptism parties, suspend beach shuttles and spa massages for guests and cut bar and restaurant opening hours.
More than 400,000 tourism industry vacancies need to be filled across the southern eurozone countries, according to estimates by local organisations and trade unions. The staff shortages have stretched many hotels and restaurants to the limit and forced others to close. Tourists flying into southern European resorts are also bearing the brunt of spiralling jet fuel costs and severe disruption at many airports.
Marina Lalli, president of Italy’s National Federation of Travel and Tourism Industries, said labour shortages had become the “number one problem” facing the sector after many workers who were placed on furlough or lost their jobs during the pandemic decided to leave the sector.
Tourism jobs in Europe fell 9.3 per cent in 2020, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, with the outbreak of the Omicron coronavirus variant in late 2021 restricting demand for new employees.
Many have moved into deliveries, ride-sharing, construction, warehousing and other areas less affected by seasonality or the risk of another wave of Covid-19, said Siza Vieira.
The pandemic was a “hammer blow” for the tourism sector in Barcelona, said Kate Preston, who was forced to close three of the eight restaurants she ran in the Catalan city. Reducing her employees from about 150 to 110 who work five-day weeks, she has managed to avoid serious staff shortages. But many former tourism workers had found “other ways of making a living”, she added.
Working in tourism can be “really stressful”, said Lalli, with some employees “doing jobs that years ago would have been done by several people”. Many staff returning to the sector wanted to work half shifts and not at night or weekends, she said.
George Valsamis, chief executive of Secret Hotels, a boutique chain on the Greek island of Santorini, has struggled to fill vacancies this season.
“What we are experiencing [with staff shortages] is a result of overtourism. The Greek islands do not have the ability to service so many people,” he said. More than 50,000 of the 250,000 jobs required to staff the country’s hotels remain vacant, according to the Greek Tourism Confederation.
Competition for workers is fierce and normal experience and training requirements are often being waived. Overstretched employees are used to working long shifts seven days a week, but Greek tourist bodies have also highlighted a deterioration in workers’ housing, particularly on holiday islands such as Mykonos and Santorini where the local pool of workers is small and most accommodation is rented out to tourists.
“We fought through the ‘year zero’ of tourism in 2020 and again in 2021 to help companies survive and prevent job destruction,” said María Frontera, president of the Hoteliers Association of Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands. “Now we have to address the issues of recruitment, training and retention of talent.”
The pandemic has highlighted longstanding structural imbalances in the sector’s labour market, said Inmaculada Benito, head of tourism at the CEOE, Spain’s main employers’ organisation, including ageing populations. “For every 100 people who retire from the sector, only 80 enter,” she said.
Operators across Europe also complain of labour laws and union rigidities that can, for example, prevent a kitchen worker being transferred to housekeeping.
Officials say peak summer tourist numbers are returning to 2019 levels in most of southern Europe, with holidaymakers undeterred by the impact of soaring inflation. “The wish to travel is strong and tourists are not overly concerned about prices,” said Benito. “This helps lessen the impact of staff shortages on revenue. But reductions in services generally lead to lower prices.”
The industry is pressing governments to ease visa regulations to facilitate the entry of overseas workers, chiefly from Latin America and north Africa. “Europe won’t survive without immigrants,” said Siza Vieira.
The long-term solutions to labour shortages lie in better pay and conditions, training and structured careers, said companies and tourism officials.
José Theotónio, chief executive of Pestana, Portugal’s largest hotel chain with operations in 14 countries, said offering staff health insurance, career progression and training programmes helped the group hire more than 1,000 new workers in Portugal alone this year.
Politicians in countries who depend on tourism have also stressed the need to improve conditions in the sector. “Tourism must be attractive not only to visitors, but also to workers,” Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told industry executives at a conference last month. “This points to better wages and working conditions.”

How to Build a Plane While Flying
December 17, 2019 | By Alexandra Goforth
Graham Cobb, president and chief executive officer at the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce, isn’t concerned with creating new experiences. He’s taking advantage of what already exists in Northwest Arkansas – lucky as we are to be one of the best places to live, work and play – according to several national sources.
Cobb’s strategy? Connecting businesses and telling their stories to showcase a region rich with art, culture, cycling and culinary experiences. An entrepreneur at heart, Cobb doesn’t have time for a fixed, 500-page strategic plan. Rather, he builds the plane while flying. Strategic innovation, disrupting thinking and a “fail fast and fail forward” attitude have won Cobb national recognition for the chamber's economic development campaign: #BecauseBentonville.
Cobb and Blake Woolsey, president of Blake Communications and former senior vice president at Mitchell, recently hosted “A Strategy Story: Intentionally growing communities in unique ways,” a pop-up program sponsored by Walton College Executive Education in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas.
Woolsey’s father was the first to teach her the expression “building the plane as you fly.” The expression is meant to encompass both the risk and the uncertainty of innovation. Cobb and Woolsey work closely with local executives and businesses to embrace change and empower others to get involved, encouraging community leaders to gather and “complement, not compete.”
The theme of embracing change was reflected in the setting itself: Haxton Road Studios. The studio is a part of the Haxton District in downtown Bentonville, a development project “where art and business collide.” Neil Greenhaw, owner of Haxton Road Studios, has brought his business from a 500-square-foot home studio to a creative, collaborative space for the arts. Greenhaw believes Bentonville “will be in the history books for the arts,” and he is proud that his studio has played a small part in the city’s growing art and business community. With globally renowned mega-projects nearby, including the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and a host of award-winning Ropeswing Hospitality Group properties, Haxton Road Studios exists within a much larger economic movement in the region, a shift Greenhaw says brought his business from “dirt road to downtown.” Dilapidated buildings are becoming exciting new businesses and communal spaces where architecture, art, culture and varied immersive experiences are improving the quality of life for residents in Northwest Arkansas -- putting Northwest Arkansas on the map for professionals looking for an alternative to congested metro regions.
According to Cobb, the Walton family is heavily invested in the development of their home region. The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, founded by Alice Walton and the Walton Family Foundation, has served as an anchor project for economic growth and development. The museum has been described as a catalyst for the diversification, revitalization and development of downtown Bentonville. The extensive urban development and economic growth that has taken place within the last decade is undeniable. Rolling farmlands and old manufacturing plants have morphed into world-renowned facilities and experiences. For Cobb, the cosmopolitan experience in a small-town is both enchanting and “back to the future-esque.”
Social value plays an important role in Bentonville’s economic development strategies. The #BecauseBentonville campaign, recently recognized by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives as one of the top economic development projects in the country, tells the story of Northwest Arkansas. The campaign promotes local businesses that incorporate an active, artistic and adventurous lifestyle in their business models. This approach is commonplace in Bentonville, Cobb noted, for a reason. It started with the legacy founders of the Bentonville community, namely Sam Walton, whom Cobb describes as an “adventurepreneur.” Cobb hopes to attract a new generation of adventurepreneurs to the region and recognizes that quality of life is an important driver of economic growth but comes with challenges. Cobb and Woolsey tackle these challenges head on.
Customer needs are changing faster than ever, and even Walmart is experiencing disruption from constant change. As Cobb notes: “If we aren’t improving, then we are going backwards.”
Cobb and Woolsey recommend taking a new approach to strategic planning. Cobb stopped looking to the Chamber of Commerce’s mission statement and started asking “what, why and how” the mission statement can build a 21st century economic and strategic plan for growth and development. The first lesson? A strategic plan is living and breathing; evolving as it is lived. You have to build the plane while you are flying it.
Moving away from the traditional five-year plan, Cobb and Woolsey prefer to create a “one-page dashboard” with short-term plans, quantifiable measures and frequent progress reviews. Woolsey emphasized the sense of urgency that is essential to understanding and adapting to change, asking executives to consider what change means for their business, what it means moving forward and how it affects their priority stakeholders. Adopting a 12- to 18-month forecast through which businesses clearly define their aspirations helps to facilitate long-term growth while remaining relevant, innovative and flexible in a rapidly diversifying ecosystem. This approach to economic, business and community needs seems to be working well for Northwest Arkansas, especially Bentonville.
Bentonville sustains an increasing rate of economic development, population growth and median household incomes that consistently surpass national averages. Data from the 2017 U.S. Census revealed a 3.68 percent increase in the median household income from $76,447 in 2016 to $79,259 in 2017. Exponential growth continued between 2017 and 2018. The 2018 Annual Development Report. from the City of Bentonville revealed a four percent increase in population, a 25 percent increase in the valuation of all building permits (a total value of around $500 million), a 62 percent increase in residential permits (a total value of $304.5 million) and a 59 percent increase in the commercial project completion rate, with 46 projects completed in fiscal year 2018.
With big projects to look forward to, including a new 12-month pilot program spearheaded by the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce focused on inclusive entrepreneurship and increasing access to capital, mentors and training for under-represented communities, and long-anticipated Crystal Bridges satellite facility, The Momentary opening in February, Cobb and Woolsey say they don’t see the plane landing anytime soon.
Cobb and Woolsey encourage the community to embrace change, asking executives to consider the culture they are creating in their business and how they are asking their team to be present and to think about the future. To better serve his community, Cobb partners with industry and subject-matter experts, involves reliable, stable brands like the Walton College (an important source of new talent and knowledge on the latest in business strategies) and meets regularly with community thought leaders, including major stakeholders from Crystal Bridges, the Walton Family Foundation and the Bentonville School District. A reinvigorated focus on collaboration, innovation and executive education will help drive the intentional growth of unique communities in Northwest Arkansas.
“Seeking buy-in on the strategy?" To learn more about the techniques and approaches of strategic conversations, the implications of current economic development campaigns and how to take a vision from concept to living product, attend one of the Walton College Executive Education’s pop-up programs or enroll in one of the many training opportunities in marketing and communications, strategy and management, entrepreneurship and innovation, or leadership and finance to receive expertly tailored business solutions for you and your business.


The Plea Bargaining Blog is dedicated to scholarship, articles and news regarding plea bargaining in criminal cases in the United States and around the world. On average, 95% of all criminal cases are resolved through plea bargains. As such, it is an integral part of the criminal justice system worthy of continuous examination and discussion. The purpose of this blog is to further our understanding of the plea bargaining machine and its role in the criminal justice system.
The Quest for Finality: Five Stories of White Collar Criminal Prosecution
I recently posted my new article entitled "The Quest for Finality: Five Stories of White Collar Criminal Prosecution" on SSRN for free download. The article examines various negative outgrowths of our quest for finality in the criminal justice system, including our tendency to value finality over accuracy. In valuing finality over accuracy, plea bargaining stands center stage. Though this article focuses on the larger issue of "finality," it includes a lengthy discussion of plea bargaining and its role in our criminal justices system and might be of interest to readers of the blog.
Below is the article's full abstract. A free copy of the article is available for download by clicking here.
Lucian E. Dervan, The Quest for Finality: Five Stories of White Collar
Criminal Prosecution, 4 Wake Forest Journal of Law & Policy 91 (2014)
In this symposium article, Professor Dervan examines the issue of finality and sentencing. In considering this issue, he argues that prosecutors, defendants, and society as a whole are drawn to the concept of finality in various ways during criminal adjudications. Further, far from an aspirational summit, he argues that some outgrowths of this quest for finality could be destructive and, in fact, obstructive to some of the larger goals of our criminal justice system, including the pursuit of truth and the protection of the innocent.
Given the potential abstraction of these issues, Professor Dervan decided to discuss the possible consequences of our quest for finality through examination of specific cases. Therefore, the article examines five stories of white collar criminal prosecution. The five stories are ones in which the players sought to achieve finality in different ways and in which finality came in different forms. Despite their differences, however, the stories do share important commonalities.
First, the stories demonstrate that we must be careful not to value finality over accuracy. As an example, though plea bargaining offers both the prosecution and the defense a mechanism by which to reach sentencing finality, it must not be used to mask unfounded criminal cases or offer overpowering incentives to innocent defendants to falsely confess in return for a promise of leniency. Second, the stories remind us that the government must be careful not to confuse achieving a victorious sentencing finality with achieving a just one. Too often today, the government proceeds after indictment as though winning a sentence at any cost is worth any price. Third, the stories reveal that, in many ways, the quest for true finality in criminal cases is fleeting. While we have long been aware of the lingering collateral consequences present even after a sentence is concluded, we now must also recognize that even those who are acquitted face significant collateral consequences from indictment itself.
According to the Korea Times , South Korea is considering implementation of a plea bargaining system, and the lead prosecutor has stated that the system would initially be utilized for corruption cases. If these plans move forward, this will offer a unique opportunity to observe a criminal justice system's implementation of plea bargaining from the beginning. The prosecution is seeking to adopt plea-bargaining for corruption cases. Prosecutor General Lim Chae-jin stressed the importance of criminal law reform, including the introduction of a plea bargaining system, at the prosecution's 60th anniversary ceremony held in southern Seoul, Friday. "It is time for Korea's judiciary to adopt plea-bargaining to a limited extent, such as in bribery cases, in order to effectively punish corruption, which is getting more complex,'' Lim said. Plea-bargaining is an agreement whereby the prosecution offers a lighter punishment to a criminal suspect in exchange for admitting
Below is a link to an excellent piece that appeared last night on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver . The show has been focusing a lot on criminal justice issues lately. This particular piece on public defenders includes discussion of plea bargaining and innocence, including the story of Erma Faye Stewart . Hopefully, the show will soon have a piece devoted exclusively to the plea bargaining issue.
Readers of this blog will be interested to listen to the recently released podcast from The Pursuit entitled "Pressured to Plead Guilty." In the podcast, I offer thoughts on the role of plea bargaining in the modern American criminal justice system. The podcast also features Clark Neily (Vice President for Criminal Justice at the Cato Institute), Kevin Ring (President of Families Against Mandatory Minimums), and Molly Gill (Vice President of Policy at Families Against Mandatory Minimums). The podcast does a wonderful job of weaving together policy considerations and the history of plea bargaining with the story of Kevin Ring's difficult decision whether to take a plea deal in return for a significant offer of leniency. Thank you to Landry Ayres and the Cato Institute for putting together such an informative and engaging discussion of plea bargaining. It was an honor to appear on the program. As I said in my closing thoughts during the podcast, "[W]e think

It is no doubt that WWE and AEW have been in constant war for viewership in the past years. Just look at what was called the “Wednesday Night Wars” referring to the time when WWE and WCW were going head to head on mondays. Only difference is that it was AEW’s Dynamite vs WWE’s NXT.
AEW’s President, Tony Khan, recently took to Twitter and lashed out on FOX. In case you didn’t know, FOX is the current channel that is hosting WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown. So Khan went ahead and bashed FOX saying that AEW had more views in key demos than any of their FOX News shows for the past 6 weeks. Please note that key demos do not include all the viewerships, as the name says, it’s a key demographic that usually represents the target of advertisers and industries.
Here are some of Tony Khan’s Tweets:
This is huge as the war between WWE and AEW as well as FOX vs TNT is being more and more talked about in the wrestling world. People keep wondering how far the little war of words between the brands is going to go but we can be sure to see more Tweets like these ones in the future.

It was a winning game. It's a witty, fantastically virtuosic and self-confident image. A glossary, a genealogy of the Medici family, and a bibliography complete this publication. No warranties are made express or implied about the accuracy, timeliness, merit, or value of the information provided. This is an important volume, if a bit dry in writing technique.
It was paired with its life-study on panel, the Chicago short-bust version cat. This fully illustrated volume also features Elizabeth Cropper's thought-provoking essay Pontormo and Bronzino in Philadelphia: A Double Portrait, which explores the rich cultural and artistic background behind these artists portraiture. An essay by Mark S. A tour driver for Mike Heron lived in Philadelphia and in the middle of moving picked me up at rush hour at the the round about below the museum with his friend in a big Uhaul and we drove all over the city - a tour only a local could give. He lived alone in a room reached by a ladder that he could pull up after him. He stands in three-quarters profile, stripped to his underpants, a quizzical look on his face, and one hand, index finger extended, pointing straight out at the viewer, or, rather, at his reflected self. This deformity is also consistent with what is known about the medical history of Cosimo I and with the skeletal remains of his left hand.
No wonder the salonlike room here of portraits by the two artists feels like an A-list party of exceptional personalities. The work by Pontormo has undergone a delicate restoration and technical study, the results of which are celebrated in this exhibition. Male portraits grouped on the opposite wall trace the development and the close artistic relationship of the two artists. All of this comes through in the 20 drawings that form the expressive soul of the Philadelphia show, organized by Carl Brandon Strehlke, adjunct curator of the museum's John. Pontormo wasn't winsome nuts; he was spooky nuts. The modest space facilitated scrutiny of individual works and ready comparison between panels.
Pontormo, Bronzino, and the Medici The Transformation of the Renaissance Portrait in Florence Carl Brandon Strehlke with essays by Elizabeth Cropper and Mark S. Price - each take a direction of the investigation of this period and the manner in which it affected the paintings and art in general in the Medici empire. Tucker, Irma Passeri, Ken Sutherland, and Beth A. In a separate undertaking, the two-year-long conservation and technical analysis of the Museums splendid portrait by Pontormo of Duke Alessandro de Medici, by our paintings conservation department, has led to another important exhibition, organized by Carl Brandon Strehlke, Adjunct Curator of the John G. Strehlkes long-awaited catalogue of Italian painting from the late medieval and early Renaissance period in the Museum. Not all the drawings exhibited were dedicated portrait studies, and comments here mostly concern those drawings linked to exhibited or existing portraits.
About this Item: Penn State University Press, 2004. Grady Harp I've always had a fascination for renaissance paintings, architecture and the Medici and treked all over Europe to see as much as I could. The pathological evidence supports the conclusion that Pontormo's Halberdier is Cosimo I as a young man and that the painting was done around 1537 when Cosimo first became Duke. Luciano Berti and Janet Cox-Rearick plausibly proposed long ago that this sheet served Pontormo to compose the idealized, posthumous Maria Salviati cat. The two Philadelphia portraits offer fascinating private views of important rulers of Renaissance Florence. Co-published with the Philadelphia Museum of Art This book accompanies an exhibition of the same name held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art upon the completion of conservation of Pontormo's famous portrait of Duke Alessandro de' Medici.
Tucker and colleagues discusses findings from the recent conservation of Pontormo's portrait of Alessandro. This fully illustrated volume also features Elizabeth CropperÃ¢ÂÂs thought-provoking essay Ã¢ÂÂPontormo and Bronzino in Philadelphia: A Double Portrait,Ã¢ÂÂ which explores the rich cultural and artistic background behind these artistsÃ¢ÂÂ portraiture. May show signs of minor shelf wear and contain limited notes and highlighting. Central to the exhibitions focus are two portraits from the Museums collection by the great 16th-century Florentine masters Pontormo and Bronzino, depicting the Dukes Alessandro and Cosimo I de Medici. The technical accounts by Tucker and his assistants admirably clarify Pontormo's working methods and technique.
Price discusses findings from the recent conservation of Pontormo's portrait of Alessandro. In many ways it is a study of the perfect classicism of the Renaissance painters as that technique of perfection fell into the hands of the Mannerists - Mannerism was the art movement that took place immediately after the Renaissance during the 16th century that provided the bridge to the Baroque era of painting. This book takes the former approach and it is indeed a valuable book for art historians and reference book for art history students and those particularly fond of the 1600s Italy. This sequence gives the dress a unique texture that can be understood as a fingerprint of a master's characteristic technique of the period Strehlke 2004. Centering on Pontormo's painting and Agnolo Bronzino's equally renowned depiction of another Medici duke, Cosimo I, the exhibition of som Co-published with the Philadelphia Museum of Art This book accompanies an exhibition of the same name held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art upon the completion of conservation of Pontormo's famous portrait of Duke Alessandro de' Medici. A genealogy of the Medici family, a glossary, and a bibliography complete this publication.
Pontormo, by contrast, was unreliable, mercurial and, one senses even without Vasari's description, emotion-driven and fundamentally private, which is not the same thing as crazy. This is a portrayal from life, however, and it does not resemble either Giuliano, Duke of Nemours 1479—1516 or Giuliano di Piero il Gottoso 1453—78. These three portraits show the hands of Cosimo in approximately the same position as the Halberdier's hand, thus allowing a meaningful comparison. The catalogue is provided with a useful glossary and index. Across the room, a pensive woman, not young, watches over an equally pensive small child. An essay by Mark S. It also suggests his association with letterati.
In addition to extensive bibliography at the end of each essay, there are pages of reference aides including a major glossary and a well composed genealogy of the di Medici family that greatly enhances the value of the book. . While there are well reproduced images of the paintings being discussed, some of which are in the exhibition, and many photographs in black and white of important details of discussion, the overall impression of this book is one of scholarly completeness. The present study is intended to help resolve this controversy by providing evidence, based on pathological criteria, for the identification of Pontormo's Halberdier. This exhibition addresses the public and private nature of portraiture and the elevation of drawing in 16th century Florentine art through a careful selection of paintings and drawings from both American and European collections as well as coins, medals, and prints. Portraits in the sixteenth century embodied talismanic engagement—with love, awe, and even, on occasion, fear bound up with the impact on the spectator of a painted persona.

British Waterways met with London Boaters this week. BW identified a number of areas where they are looking at improving facilities. These include reinstalling water points at Islington and Kensal and a possible new point at Mile End. They asked for suggestions of where new rubbish points could be provided that have road access for them. There were discussions about recycling, sanitary facilities and compost toilets, the range of areas where BW are willing to provide free 10 week moorings outside the central restricted area. There was also a suggestion of providing an exception from the 14 day rule for boaters who wished to continue to move this summer.
Following closures on the K&A and GU canals, BW has alerted boaters to the drought conditions that may affect boating during 2012, through their Waterscape website. Vince Moran, BW's Operations Director said that It is no secret that parts of England have had the driest year for over 100 years which may pose problems for a proportion of our canal network.....


Sick or injured city employees will soon be able to visit a city-financed health clinic, after a Thursday Augusta Commission decision proponents expect will save the city up to $1 million in its first year.
In a 7-1 vote, with Commissioner Alvin Mason opposed, J.R. Hatney abstaining and Grady Smith absent, the group approved a selection committee’s recommendation of Healthstat, Inc., to run the clinic, in a location expected on city-owned property that’s yet to be determined.
Lisa Kelley of Wells Fargo Insurance Services, the city’s health insurance consultant, said in a presentation to commissioners that savings from the clinic would begin almost immediately, as it reduces spending and employees’ overall health improves.
Kelley said the city paid $1 million in claims last year for employees’ visits with medical specialists, often the wrong ones. “Your employees don’t know where to go,” she said.
With proper implementation, Kelley said the clinic will save $1 million the first year, even after the $550,000 annual cost of HealthStat, which the selection committee chose over bidder Health to You.
“It sounds like a very good deal to me,” Mayor Deke Copenhaver said, with Commissioner Bill Lockett asking how employees could be enticed to use the clinic.
Kelley said the best way was to make it free for all employees covered under the city’s health plan. Use of the clinic also will advance Augusta’s potential to become self-insured, a move that could save the city some of the $20 million it spends annually on employee health benefits, said Kelley, who also is evaluating when the city might adopt a self-funded health insurance pool rather than a provider such as Blue Cross Blue Shield.
“I think if we are going to look at going to self-insured, this is the way we are going to get there,” Commissioner Jerry Brigham said.
Commissioner Matt Aitken, who made the motion to approve the clinic, said his employer had an on-site clinic that worked well.
In other business, the commission delayed action on more than 100 pages of documents related to the new Augusta Convention Center parking deck. On a motion from Brigham, the group agreed to consider the documents at an upcoming Finance Committee

I can’t quite believe it, but I’m writing this blog post on the two year anniversary of us arriving in New Zealand! To mark this milestone, I’ve decided to compile a bit of a visual best of; photos that capture my top 10 New Zealand memories and experiences from the past couple of years. Many of these are destinations that have already featured on the blog, but I’m so behind on my writing that there are several new places I want to shine a spotlight on too. (I promise upcoming posts on all of them!)
I consider New Zealand my adoptive country in many ways, but of course I’m hardly a local. So with that caveat, here are my very favourite New Zealand highlights in no particular order.
Recently we decided to drop plans for a one-off, whirlwind tour of South Island in favour of multiple, shorter hops across the Cook Strait. I’ve been so remiss with the blog lately that I’ve already got a backlog of several such trips to catch up on! I’m going to strike while this particular iron is hot, though, and share our most recent trip: exploring the Mackenzie District in all its sweeping mountainous glory. Read on for some ideas for things to do in Mount Cook and Tekapo.
After acquiring a housesitting placement for the first time, we headed east from Auckland to Tauranga. We felt much more at home than we had during our workaways and consequently stopped being tourists for a while! There were some little adventures, though, so continuing my run of “places we saw a little of, but not enough to warrant a long narrative”, here’s 3 things to do in Tauranga, New Zealand…
