Marriott’s Lincolnshire Theatre
One of the most valuable functions that a nonprofit, institutionally based theater can perform is the revival and reinvestigation of neglected, historically interesting works. The Court Theatre’s staging of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s 1929 musical Happy End, produced in conjunction with the University of Chicago’s New Music Ensemble, is just such a venture. But sometimes a neglected work is neglected for good reason: in the case of Happy End, the reason is an almost arrogantly slipshod script.
From the beginning, Happy End was a problem show. Brecht and Weill embarked on it as a follow-up to their enormously successful The Threepenny Opera of 1928. Like Threepenny, Happy End was to be a witty amalgam of sex, violence, and socially conscious sarcasm. But during the writing period, Brecht came under other, sometimes conflicting influences. For one thing, he married his lover, the actress Helene Weigel, and hurriedly rewrote the script to give her a juicier role, reassigning to her lines originally written for the hero. (As a result, the actor playing the hero walked out during rehearsals and had to be replaced.) More seriously, Brecht was moving into the most passionate–and most dogmatic–phase of his involvement with communism, and he was working on other, more ideological projects at the same time as he was supposed to be concocting the commercial Happy End. The result was a tempestuous and difficult production process–during one rehearsal, an actor screamed at Brecht “You were supposed to write a play, not come here and shit on the stage!”–and finally, a work that satisfied neither audiences nor critics nor the author himself. Brecht sought to disown the work by officially attributing it to one “Dorothy Lane”; unofficially, Brecht said the script was adapted by his longtime collaborator, Elisabeth Hauptmann, from a short story by American writer Dorothy Lane that had appeared in the American magazine J and L Weekly. The whole thing was a hoax–there’s no evidence that Lane, her story, or the magazine ever existed–but Hauptmann was willing to take the rap; only after Brecht’s death did she acknowledge that she didn’t write Happy End. Brecht did take credit for the lyrics, but only at the insistence of the composer, Kurt Weill; the show’s best lyrics had in fact been written and even performed several years before Happy End hit the boards for its short, ill-fated run.
In a sense, Elisabeth Hauptmann did deserve credit for coauthorship. She stepped in to try to fix some problems when Brecht’s other activities interfered, and she did the lion’s share of the research for this play, intended to be an indictment of the relationship between business and religion. Brecht’s contempt for the church was well known; here his target was the Salvation Army, which celebrated its 100th anniversary the year Happy End was written. It was Brecht and Hauptmann’s observation (later expressed more forcefully in the play Saint Joan of the Stockyards) that while professing allegiance to God, the Salvation Army was in fact a collaborator with big business in perpetuating the plight of the poor: by offering meager nourishment and religious homilies to the needy, the Salvation Army was deterring the development of political awareness among them; thus the financial support the Salvation Army received from corporate charities was no accident.
It was with this point of view that Brecht went to work on Happy End, the story of a Salvation Army lieutenant who falls in love and in league with a vicious gangster (organized crime being, here as in The Threepenny Opera, a sardonic substitute for the businessmen and politicians whom Brecht saw as the real enemies of society). But torn by personal pressures and ideological doubts, he failed to produce a script that even began to live up to this provocative theme. Happy End starts out well enough, with a chorus of saints and sinners, mobsters and missionaries, singing a hosanna to the kings of commerce–the Fords and the Rockefellers, “the buyers and the sellers.” But all too quickly, the action degenerates into a silly, superficial portrait of cute crooks and repressed religionists. With its uneven mix of melodrama and farce, and a dollop of flaccid sex jokes thrown in for bad measure (one crook is named Wurlitzer, which opens the door for a stream of stupid organ jokes), the script also loses touch with the theme of redemption implicit in its love story, as “Hallelujah Lil” and Bill Cracker turn their backs on their equally immoral professions–religion and crime–to join forces against “the big gang that keeps the safes locked.”
Worst of all is the play’s climax, with its sudden burst of Marxist propaganda that bears so little relation to the rest of the play that it seems like a student spoof of Brecht rather than the real thing. “Robbing a bank is no crime compared to owning one,” declares the Fly, the mysterious crime queen whose efforts to rub out Bill fuel the script’s messy subplot. It’s a wryly funny line, and the comfortable Court Theatre audience laughs indulgently; but it has no basis in what has led up to it, and so no bite.
What does have bite in Happy End is the score–though here, again, the songs have virtually nothing to do with the script. The best songs aren’t even set in the exaggerated, shoot-’em-up Chicago that Brecht chose as the locale for the play; they are sailors’ songs, filled with references to shipwrecks and seductions in southeast Asia. Brecht was fascinated by the exotic east, and by the writing of Rudyard Kipling, poet of the British colonial experience. Happy End’s best song, “Surabaya Johnny”–surely one of the greatest love songs in musical theater–is in fact an adaptation of a Kipling poem. A desperately sad yet ironically distanced ballad about a girl hung up on a ne’er-do-well sailor, the song is used here by Lil to express her emotional confusion, torn as she is between her religious devotion and her desire for Bill.
There are other fine songs in the score, too; those who think of the Brecht-Weill collaboration mainly in terms of “Mack the Knife” will find unexpected gems in Weill’s pungent harmonies, deliciously oily chromatic melodies and abrasively brilliant orchestrations.
The unevenness in quality between the script and the songs is unfortunately mirrored in Court Theatre’s production. The score is capably played by a center-stage band conducted crisply by Barbara Schubert; and the singing is generally strong, certainly in the choral numbers that open and close the show. (An old show-business maxim says that a strong first and last impression will overcome a great deal of bad work in between, and that’s certainly true here.)
But dramatically, Happy End is a major disappointment. Linda Brovsky’s direction has a museumlike quality, a studied seriousness that is all too common on the regional opera circuit, where she has built her reputation; occasionally she tries to goose the energy with a hyperactively staged song, but the result is just cluttered movement that further obscures the already hard-to-understand lyrics (for which blame the acoustics, some of the singers’ diction, and Michael Feingold’s frequently mushy English adaptation).
As for the acting, it’s mostly devoid of any individual personality or commitment to the material. One isn’t supposed to believe in the characters in a Brecht play–that, in Brecht’s view, would interfere with understanding the issues–but one must believe in the actors themselves, in their belief in the lesson the play teaches. The half-baked script is largely to blame here, but more astute direction could have solved some of the problem. Ann Arvia, who plays Lil, is a beautiful singer but not much of an actor; like many opera singers trying to be dramatically powerful, she delivers her big “Surabaya Johnny” number with a determined intensity that has no real guts behind it. Shannon Cochran, who on past occasions has proved she can act as well as sing, might have made a much better Lil; as the Fly, the role Brecht hastily added for his wife, she is outfitted with a bad Lotte Lenya accent and pseudosalacious movement that is just ridiculous. David Nisbet, as the converted killer Bill Cracker, garbles many of his lines in a misguided effort to sound tough and gritty; Larry Russo, in the role of an Oriental mob leader originally played by Peter Lorre under Brecht’s direction, poses prettily but is dead as a doornail on the inside.
Only Marilynn Bogetich, as the prim Salvation Army major who runs Lil put of the fold, comes off reasonably well among the leads. As for the ensemble–playing gangsters, cops, missionaries, and other lowlifes–they have no sense of danger or despair. Even in a misguided effort like Happy End, Brecht’s company of actors could communicate a sense of artistic and political principle and purpose. The cast of Happy End at Court, apparently helped by neither the playwright nor the director, seem mainly concerned with getting their lines out and being at the right place at the right time.
Part of the problem with Happy End–a problem Brecht grappled with throughout his career, and the problem that made him mistrust the popular success of The Threepenny Opera–is how to deliver a political message in an essentially bourgeois medium such as musical theater. Interestingly, a better solution is found at the north-suburban Marriott’s Lincolnshire Theatre, currently presenting the William Hauptman-Roger Miller show Big River.
The answer is people. Brecht might not have agreed, but theater is essentially about people–just as political messages are only as strong as their relevance to people. In Big River, the musical-comedy adaptation of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, one gentle shrug of confusion as Huck Finn grapples with his “guilt” over helping a slave escape contains more meaning than three acts of Happy End; one Christian woman’s expression of outrage at the abolitionist movement tells a story of religious hypocrisy that Brecht’s whole army of “soldiers of God” couldn’t convey. And the unsettled voice of the woman behind me whispering to her companion, “This is musical comedy?” as she watched a black woman weep at being separated from her sister registered more understanding than the tepid, indulgent laughter of the Happy End audience in response to Brecht’s slapped-on sloganeering.
The strength of Hauptman’s storytheater script–its emphasis on human beings–is enhanced in this production by the stripped-down, in-the-round staging by David H. Bell. On Broadway and in the national touring version that came to Arie Crown Theatre a few seasons back, Big River was a show about scenery–the panoramic background painting of the winding Mississippi River that serves as the story’s metaphor for Huck’s journey to self-awareness. But this lean and likable production dispenses with such elaborate trappings and concentrates on the actors. As a result, Twain’s story–with its ironic look at social and religious pieties, its evocation of the horrors of slavery, and its poignant depiction of the hard-won friendship between the illiterate white-trash boy Huck and the runaway slave Jim–emerges clearly and convincingly.
William Akey, a supporting-cast stalwart of previous Marriott productions, is wonderfully natural as Huck; Michael Lofton is a sweet-spirited, operatic-voiced Jim. Skipp Sudduth, looking like a Lynyrd Skynyrd leftover as Huck’s ornery Pap, offers a sad and scary portrait of the ravages of alcohol and ignorance. Susan Moniz and Mary Ernster, two of the best musical-theater actresses in town, add immensely to the show in their brief but telling roles as the unwanted but irresistible women in Huck’s young life. And though it didn’t produce any lasting hits, Roger Miller’s warmhearted and conversational country-gospel score is worth another listen.

TOKYO, March 1 (UPI) -- Japan's consumer prices January fell for the third straight month, dropping 0.2 percent and pointing to the persistence of deflation, data indicated Friday.
The year-on-year January decline was blamed mainly on a drop in the prices of household durable goods, including air conditioners, putting further pressure on overall prices, the government said Friday.
The core consumer price index, excluding fresh food, stood at 99.1 against the 2010 base of 100, Kyodo News reported.
The government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made it its top priority to lift the economy out of its deflation-induced recession through a number of stimulus measures. Recently, Japan's central bank doubled its inflation target to 2 percent.
Last year marked the fourth consecutive year of deflation. Such a phenomenon of falling prices hurts the overall economy as consumers refrain from purchases in anticipation of additional price cuts, which hits demand and forces businesses to cut expenses and employment, creating a spiraling effect.
Stimulus measures have brought down the value of the yen against other major currencies, which should help boost exports.

Lookout House struggles with mice
Signing up for a theme house sounds like a lot of fun and a way for students to give back to the community. However, the students living in Lookout House are paying more than what they bargained for. Since the students moved in two years ago, they have been overrun by mice.
The signs of a mouse infestation appeared soon after they moved in. Now they hear scurrying and scratching in the walls of the house while they sleep. The mice pop out of nowhere and run across the floor while the disgusted students are cooking or doing homework.
Shi Almont, one of the residents of Lookout, said, “We hear them in the trash cans under the sink sometimes. Also, a couple weeks ago, my roommate had banana bread sitting on her nightstand in her room. She woke up in the morning to find it laying on the ground with a hole chewed through it.”
Katelyn Derby also expressed her distress about the rampaging mice. Derby said, “We’ve had clear evidence of mice in our house for months with no real improvement,” Derby said. “It makes it difficult at night knowing that there are little rodents crawling around when you sleep.”
The students contacted Campus Life about the situation, but, Almont said, Campus Life set up numerous traps to no avail. The mice still roam the house.
“The mice have lived in Lookout much longer than we have—the house belongs to them now.”
Mice are not the only problem that they have had to endure.
Almont said that when they first moved into the house there was a gaping hole in the basement’s bathroom wall.
Almont had contacted Campus Life and it patched the hole, but a few days later an oppressive odor developed.
Maintenance opened the hole back up only to find numerous dead rabbits trapped inside—the suspects who chewed the hole in the first place.
Maintenance fixed the rabbit problem at by installing a plastic cap on a ventilation tube leading outside.
To compensate the students for the two-year-long rodent problem, Campus Life reduced their housing cost.
“I’m not sure what more can be done to help the matter,” Almont said. “But either way, it’s disgusting that we’re living with mice eating our food and crawling around in our bedrooms while we sleep. This isn’t what I signed up for—nor is it what I agreed to pay for—when I decided to live in a theme house.”

I know the prices of everything have gone up, but wowzer! $16.67 + tax for a single burger no cheese, fries and a small coke... Oh and a handful of "free" peanuts. I came here to work but no wifi for customers. Really? Good food but I'll think twice over the price next time and will keep on driving if I need wifi for a working lunch.
Of all the Five Guys we've been to in the world, this location has THE best burger. I totally enjoyed my visit.If you like potato salad, try mayonnaise on your hot fries. You'll be amazed.
Always good and a few dollars more then McDonald's or burger king's not so legit ingredients.
Terrible management and customer service, so please be advised. Quentin, the Gm, literally argued with me for 15 minutes over their milkshake machine being defective & even his own employees noticed it before handing me the machine and the best they can do is "make another one". I didn't even want a refund just wanted fries instead but he refused. Sh*tty workplace and management. Never going there again.
Burgers were good. But the fries were TERRIBLE. Old and hard to chew, not fresh at all. Service was not real good.
The staff is always very friendly, and the restaurant is clean both inside and out in the parking lot. The food is better than the average fast food place, but not good enough to justify the insane price.
Great burgers and always hot, fresh and made to order !! Love the Cajun fries with their spicy kick !
Not a bad place to eat at Five Guys it was hot and fresh and the order was pretty fast but a lot of people said that Five Guys was real good it was good but it was not the best burger I have ever ate but still keep up the good work let's go
Best burgers you could get and very fast at making them. ?
Food was very good. I didn't need three pieces of cheese on the 2 burgers. One slice of cheese would be enough.
Great hamburger joint but be careful for this location.Ordered online and arrived on time. They make my shake while I waited but handed me something I would never call a shake. Milk water. Then told me the machine was running low on mix. What happen to good service and good product and adding more mix. It will be a while before I go back to this location. Lazy employees.
Friendly staff!! Great made to order burgers and fries... worth the wait!
Great burgers with a myriad of toppings available. Fresh cut fries are good and they give you a ton of them. A small order easily serves three to four people. Be aware that the regular burgers actually two patties. If you want just one then order the small burger, which is plenty. Pro tip, all the toppings are free of charge except for cheese and bacon. However, if you get bacon or cheese you can get extra bacon and extra cheese for no extra charge! I have not had their milkshakes but I would like to try one. I understand not all stores have a milkshake machine. They serve hot dogs too, but I've never had one - it's called Five Guys burgers and fries for a reason.
Good food best burgers yummmmmmy lol shakes and fries really good
Usually excellent burgers and fries. 12/11 stopped by on my way home, around 930. Apparently onions and pickles look exactly alike. ? Not too much but definitely not the taste platform Im expected. ? Definitely not worth the $16 either.

The vermiculite mineral deposit near Libby, Montana was mined from the 1920's to 1990. During this period, the Libby mine was a major source of the nation's vermiculite, which was used in a variety of applications such as loose-fill insulation, additives to potting soil, packing materials for hazardous chemicals, and many others. Asbestiform amphiboles occur in veins throughout the deposit and it is difficult to separate all asbestos from the vermiculite. This paper illustrates the unusual electrostatic properties of the fibrous amphibole shows that the fibrous amphibole also occurs intergrown in the vermiculite, between the layers of the vermiculite sheet silicate. The reflectance spectral properties of geologic materials from the Libby region are also presented and it is shown how reflectance spectroscopy can be used as a rapid assessment tool to detect the amphiboles. This report also discusses some limitations of this tool.

Fresh Produce has taken up residence at a 1,340-square-foot space at 66 Newtown Lane in East Hampton through mid-October. The extended engagement will allow the brand to learn about East End consumers, including Manhattanites, as it considers opening a store in the region. New York is among the top five locations for online purchases on the brand’s e-commerce site, with a 30 percent sales increase year-over-year.
“Fresh Produce could represent the contrast between consumers’ bustling lives in New York. We could help them relieve their stress,” said Cindy Keizman, chief merchandising and operations manager. “We’re all about the comforts of beach life, a coastal feel and nature. We reflect our values in all touch points.”
In addition to an exclusive Hamptons collection created for the pop-up, Fresh Produce features accessories — a new category — with jewelry, handbags, scarves and small leather goods. “We’re in conversations to expand into beauty next year,” said Keizman. “Products will be sustainable and with a focus on natural ingredients and fewer chemicals. It will have antiaging [properties], and color will definitely be key.”
Fresh Produce is approaching the home category with its proprietary prints, and exploring licensing opportunities for paper products and tabletop, among other things.
Celebrating its 35th anniversary this month, Fresh Produce is conscious of the passage of time. “We’re recalibrating our age to understand where our customer is going,” said Keizman, noting that the pop-up appeals to a new set of customers in their early to mid-Thirties, which is younger than Fresh Produce’s core 45- to 55-year-old client.
“We bring the emotions of what women really want from a dream vacation into everyday life,” said Keizman said. “It’s color and the beach and the resort lifestyle incorporated into everyday fashion. It’s not just aspects of design, but also quality.
Mary Ellen and Thom Vernon, who met on the Kansas State University track team, moved to Long Beach, Calif., and founded Fresh Produce during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Mary Ellen silk screened bright-colored T-shirts and made custom jewelry, which she and Thom sold in the parking lot across the street from the Coliseum. After selling $40,000 worth of products in three weeks, the Vernons decided to quit their day jobs and launch their own apparel business.
“We’re using sustainability methods, new dye techniques and garment washes. We transform garments with prints, which is what we’re known for,” Keizman said. “There’s a lot more hand-embellished and embroidered items in the collection. We’re able to maintain our price points because we’re conscious of our vertical operations. We’re able to react quickly. About 80 percent of the collection is made in the U.S.
“By next year we’ll make decisions about overlapping and opening multiple pop-up shops,” Keizman said. “Spring 2020 will give us a good indication of how many we can manage. The pop-ups could be a new channel for us. We could explore different demographics.”
Fresh Produce operates 16 stores, and five Handpicked franchise units. The brand’s wholesale accounts include Macy’s and Dillard’s as well as small coastal boutiques.
With a contemporary coastal design, including a pristine white backdrop, Shaker elements, woven carpets, natural and distressed painted wood and industrial elements, the Fresh Produce unit in East Hampton is anchored by an apothecary and accessories products.
“Once customers find us, they tend to be consumers for life,” Keizman said.

Marathon Asset Management LP, a hedge-fund operator that manages about $10.5 billion, is betting prices will fall in the high-yield, high-risk bond market because interest rates and defaults probably will rise.
Treasuries rose for a third day as DoubleLine Capital LP’s Jeffrey Gundlach said yields are poised to fall further and Pacific Investment Management Co.’s Bill Gross cut his holdings of U.S. government-related debt.
Treasuries climbed with gold while U.S. stocks erased losses as investors weighed developments in Ukraine while concern intensified that slowing growth in China will hurt demand. Oil retreated on rising U.S. supplies.
Treasuries rose a second day as demand at the government’s auction of $30 billion in three-year notes was bolstered by the highest yields in six months and investors seeking a haven in the world’s most liquid assets.
After reporting its worst quarterly sales drop in almost 15 years, RadioShack Corp. is as good as defaulted in the eyes of credit investors, according to Moody’s Corp.’s capital markets research group.
Fidelity Investments’ John Carlson and DoubleLine Capital LP’s Luz Padilla pursue different strategies in their emerging-market debt funds. One thing they have in common is buying bonds denominated in U.S. dollars.

What does nursing mean to me? Nursing means helping people heal, meeting their needs while they are in your care, listening to concerns, protecting them from harm, and educating them how to care for themselves while treating them with dignity, compassion and respect and giving of yourself to the care of people and community. It is having compassion for people and their health and being a humanitarian, making sure they receive the best care possible. Nurses must also treat families of patients with kindness, realizing they are going through a stressful situation also. Nursing is a responsibility to provide the best care regardless of the patient’s age, race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or their past.
As nurses we need to advise our patients carefully about any healthcare decisions making but should never override patient rights. Although abortion is a crime in our personal belief we still need to provide a competent care to the patients. I believe nurses should practice the nursing methods by using the APIE process in order to solve the ethical dilemmas at work. As for abortion till today it’s still a debatable issue. It can be ethical or not ethical.
Native American beliefs are deeply rooted in their culture. They believe everything surrounding them is holy, from the largest mountain, to the smallest organism. Also, Native Americans believe that a lesson can be found in all things and everything has a purpose. To sum up the main focus of their Spirituality, it is all about honor, true love, and respect. (EarthLink)
One ways to do that is by the “teaching back” or “show me” method. Having patient repeat to their care doctor or nurse until they do it correctly. This way it justified by the prospect of much better understanding and adherence (Juckett, 2013). It is also important to truly understand the culture when caring for the population. For the Hispanic population, many believed that using herbal medicine would help relieve all diseases.
Cultural Competency Simply put, the United States is a diverse country. It is common knowledge that this a country founded upon immigration. Moreover, with the advancements in transportation and the growing trends toward globalization this course is more than likely to continue – barring any radical governmental intervention. That is why cultural competency is so vital, especially when it comes to healthcare. Because the sad fact is, not all ethnic groups receive the same level of care (Kittler, Sucher & Nelms, 2017).
We see that the support of family is so important that it can even replace the treatment to some extent. We know that there still remain plenty of problems that are beyond medical standers. We also become aware of the drawback of the medical system. That is lack of the quality of the treat process.
They should be good communicators, and actually listen to their patients, or families concerns, empathize, and provide clear concise information. An important value a healthcare worker should also embody is altruism. Nurses and medical professionals need prioritize their patients’ needs, without any regard for rewards or benefits. A persons’ health and welfare needs to be priority to a nurse, no matter what the situation. Josie’s Story highlighted the importance of altruism, and the need for nurses and doctors to take a step back and truly listen.
Although it’s impossible for a human to constantly have “agape” love, it is possible for God to love us unconditionally (Kierkegaard). In return, people like Phoenix from the story may view God as loving her unconditionally. So, as a Christian, it would be her responsibility essentially to be selfless and loving towards her grandson. Along with that idea, by the end of the story all she wanted to do was give her grandson his medicine so he would feel better. In a journal article titled, “Religion in Public Health-Care Institutions,” it stated in the introduction, “Attention to health and healing is a part of all the world’s
W-7 – PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES 1. I chose these competences because as a nurse it is vital to maintain professional boundaries and still be able to provide the therapeutic care without personally getting attached to patients. 2. From the article I learned that it is ok to be present with your patient, and caring about what they might be going through as you provide necessary care and support, but not to excessively worrying about a patient in your personal life/home” (p. 407) 3.
In addition, respecting the clients ' wishes to talk and explore is the important aspect. As an ethical consideration, nurses must respect the wishes of those patients who refuse to talk (ONMC 2011). Sometimes nurses may not understand why client refused, but always they have a reason based on their belief and experience. Each patient requires respect as a unique human being (Henderson 2001).
As a nurse, we have to be caring and compassionate. It has to come from within. We have to use the knowledge and skills we have developed to be able to show support for our patients and their families. There will be difficult days that we may have to give uncomfortable news to our patients or even share joy with them. With each day it brings about new and different encounters.
The popularized concept that Native American people have a “mystical” spirituality and live in harmony with nature is yet another taboo myth. Native Americans do believe in living in harmony with all elements as well as balance and harmony of spirit, mind, body and the environment. This belief also provides the Native American culture with a holistic approach to medicine. Health issues and solutions are typically seen as spiritually based and cared for without western medical interventions. This cultural custom directly affects treatment and how long an individual goes before being treated by a speech pathologist or audiologist.
Whites and Indians (An Analysis of the way the Indians lived to the way the Whites live) Benedict is considered by most to have been the first Indian historian which would make her the first white historian as well. She wrote many books in her time and History contains The Pueblos of New Mexico. Ruth spent a lot of time telling where a lot of the indians were located, what they did with their lives, what their rituals were and a lot of other things as well.
Introduction “Health characterized by Ralph Waldo Emerson is the, “complete mental, social, and physical well-being, and not just the absence of disease or infirmity.” American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are a diverse group of people who have overcome a lot to get to where they are today. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2013, “there were roughly 5.2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives living in the US” (“American Indian & ANP”). American Indians/Alaska Natives have a unique relationship with the federal government due to historic conflict and following treaties (“American Indian & ANP”).
Health Crises in the Native American Population For hundreds of years, Native Americans have had to face many hardships in their lives. These hardships include drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, and diseases. Due to these reasons, Native Americans have an average life expectancy of 73.7 years; 4.4 years shorter than the average white American (“Indian Health Services…”). Native American communities face huge challenges because of chronic health conditions such as type two diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and mental illness.

Little of lasting historical consequence occurred in the year 1733. France declared war on the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. America’s first Freemason’s lodge opened in Boston. Georgia was founded at the site where Savannah exists today. The British passed the Molasses Act, taxing the syrupy substance, earning the enmity of American colonists and fanning the flames that would lead to the War of Independence. The French and Spanish Bourbon kings sealed the Treaty of the Escorial — signed at and named for the traditional residence of Spanish royalty, which lends its moniker to Escorial wool, shorn from Antipodean sheep descended from the Spanish king’s flocks.
One of the few natural fibres that’s even softer and more luxurious than Escorial wool is cashmere — and (yes, patience please, we’re getting to the point) it is this textile that is the speciality of Lanificio Fratelli Piacenza.
Founded in 1733, the same year as the aforementioned historical happenings, for almost three centuries Fratelli Piacenza has milled and dealt in noble fibres from its base in Italy’s textiles mecca, Biella. Piacenza belongs to the elite group known as the International Hénokiens Society, whose members are all family-run firms boasting at least two centuries of history. Today, CEO Carlo Piacenza represents the 13th generation of the family to helm the business, which creates pieces under the name Piacenza Cashmere. Members of the 14th generation have already begun training from the ground up at the factory in Pollone. Milling the finest cashmere, camelhair, vicuna, alpaca, mohair, wool and silk, and producing an exclusive line of garments and accessories, Fratelli Piacenza now employs more than 200 staff and reaps annual revenue in excess of €40 million. We’d love to report that the company arose from humble beginnings, but the fact is, it’s done a brisk trade since its earliest days. This thriving artisanal business got its start when Pietro Francesco Piacenza and his son Giovanni Francesco established a wool mill almost 300 years ago. An immediate success, by 1757, their factory employed 100 people.

Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears has filed a petition to end his daughter's controversial conservatorship, which he has been at the helm of since 2008.
According to CNN, legal documents show Jamie cited his daughter's two emotional court testimonies from earlier this year, in which she called the conservatorship "abusive" and said she wanted to see her dad "jailed" for his role in it.
"Recent events related to this conservatorship have called into question whether circumstances have changed to such an extent that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist," the petition stated.
"As Mr Spears has said again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter. If Ms Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr Spears believes that she should get that chance."
The unexpected twist in the messy legal battle comes after Jamie agreed he would step down from his role as conservator last month to avoid a drawn-out public feud with his pop star daughter. At the time, he insisted there were no grounds for his dismissal, and claimed he had been the target of "unjustified attacks".
Britney has previously declared she will not perform again while he rather remains in control of her affairs, calling the arrangement "f**king cruelty". She went on to tell the Los Angeles Superior Court that her father "ruined her life" and "loved" to hear her in pain, insisting she wanted to press charges of "conservatorship abuse".
Jamie has repeatedly denied the allegations of abuse made against him, and at one stage asked for an investigation to be launched into Britney's claims, which included being drugged against her will and being unable to get her IUD removed to prevent her from falling pregnant.
"Ms Spears has told this court that she wants control of her life back without the safety rails of a conservatorship. She wants to be able to make decisions regarding her own medical care, deciding when, where and how often to get therapy," the filing from Jamie continued.
"She wants to control the money she has made from her career and spend it without supervision or oversight. She wants to be able to get married and have a baby, if she so chooses. In short, she wants to live her life as she chooses without the constraints of a conservator or court proceeding."

The identity of Banksy, the ever-elusive graffiti artist who has risen to superstar status over the past 20 years, is still unknown to the general public.
But that hasn't stopped him from selling art pieces for millions of dollars, compiling books of his work, and making documentary films about his escapades, all while becoming a household name the world over.
He just pulled off another stunt, shredding one of his paintings after it sold for $1.4 million.
We put together a list of some of Banksy's most clever and brilliant pieces to refresh your memory.
Christian Storm contributed to an earlier version of this article.
In 2018, one of Banksy's most famous works, "Girl With Balloon," was sold at auction. Then it shredded itself.
The work slid into a shredder hidden in the painting's frame, apparently missed by the aucioneer employees who analyzed the condition of the work.
A Sotheby's spokesperson told INSIDER that the artist's studio told the auction house not to remove the frame, considering a part of the artwork.

NGOs could benefit the province, without embarking on political activities supporting separatism or violating agreements.
Indonesia still opens its door to NGOs that want to operate in Papua, as long as they benefit the people without involvement in politics and commercial activities, an official says.
Sunu M. Soemarno, director for Socio-Culture and International Organizations at the Foreign Ministry, said the government through an inter-department meeting including his office, the Social Services Ministry and intelligence bodies, police and the State Secretariat, will decide and review whether NGOs can help build Papua.
If the meeting found that NGOs could benefit the province, without embarking on political activities supporting separatism or violating agreements agreed upon beforehand with ministry partners, the government would hand out permits or extend permits to NGOs.
“We have approved the operation of 14 foreign NGOs in Papua while we expand scope of operations for two others based on this criteria.” Soemarno told the press.
Regarding the ban against a Dutch funding organization, Cordaid to operate in Papua, based on input from other departments, the organization had violated its agreement with its government partner, the Social Services Ministry.
Cordaid has been being a shareholder of Bank Andara and sponsoring the participation of a community group in the Initiatives for International Dialogue (IID), a forum that supports secessionist movements in southern Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines and Indonesia.
The Indonesia government requested Cordaid, which has operated for 30 years in Indonesia, to hand over ongoing projects to its local partners and not expand the scope of the projects or extend deadlines.
Cordaid, however, could reapply for the permit, and provide evidence to the Social Services Ministry that the organization had no intention of supporting separatism, and that its operation in Indonesia had provided many benefits to Papuans.
Cordaid said in its letter to the Social Services Ministry that it never supported separatist activities, while asserting it had gradually relinquished its 10 percent share in Andara.

- The company plans to scale this initiative to at least 300 brands by the end of the year.
- Swiggy has 100 such brands on its platform that were co-created with 95 restaurant partners across 13 cities.
- Larger restaurants have been working with Swiggy and Zomato to build delivery only brands at the right price point.
As a part of the agreement, Swiggy promises restaurants that it will share data on supply gaps in the area, closely work with menu designing, packaging, pricing and eventually co-promote the brands on its platform in exchange for exclusivity, a variable consulting commission, and delivery fees. This consulting commission that Swiggy charges range between 5-8%, according to brands that ET spoke to.
“We work closely with these top restaurants, and take joint accountability for the success of a brand launched under this program," Vishal Bhatia, CEO, New Supply, Swiggy told ET.
These brands operate out of the restaurant partners' existing dine-in facilities and the brand ownership remains with the restaurant. “This initiative generates roughly 15% additional revenue for us from an existing kitchen facility,” said Kabir Advani, Managing Partner, Berco’s Restaurant who runs House of Chow virtual brand on the platform.
The move comes in at a time when Swiggy has been under the scanner by restaurant partners for running its own private labels which brands argue have an unfair advantage over their operations. It is also considered one of the avenues for the company to scale its revenue without asset-heavy investments.
Swiggy currently has 100 such brands on its platform that were co-created with 95 restaurant partners across 13 cities. The company plans to scale this initiative to at least 300 brands by the end of the year.
“Our kitchens at the dine-in restaurants are fully equipped and run by experienced chefs who are trained in multiple cuisines,” said Gurupreet Singh Bali, Managing Partner, Gilly’s Restobar who runs Kitchens of Punjab delivery only brand on the platform, and one of Swiggy’s first pilot customers. “We realized that growth could come out of negligible additional investment leading to better utilization of our existing resources through delivery,” he said.
As food delivery scales, building supply of delivery-only brands is critical to offer choice at all price points and cuisines. Swiggy has aimed at solving this supply gap with a bunch of initiatives including developing infrastructure for delivery-only brands to operate with a lower capital investment, introducing private label brands, as well as co-launching brands.
“While Swiggy Access facilitates the expansion of restaurant brands across locations, BrandWorks helps restaurant partners expand their brand portfolio using existing kitchen space and culinary abilities,” Bhatia said.
The larger restaurant ecosystem has also been closely working with Swiggy and Zomato to build delivery only brands at the right price point ET had earlier reported. Some of the delivery-only brands include Impresario's Boss Burger, Hung-Li and Del Italia, Azure Hospitality-incubated Rollmaal and Speedy Chow, deGustibus' Neel ki Biryani, Indigo Burger Project and the soon-to-be-launched Mandarin Monkey, along with The Olive Group's Olive Pizzeria.

Kylie Jenner Shows Off Her Curves In New Bathing Suit Photos On Girls Tropical Vacation
Kylie Jenner and her best girlfriends are taking some time away from the hustle of their busy lives and enjoying a tropical vacation. Of course, Stormi is with the gang who posted gorgeous photos of themselves in an idyllic setting. Kylie uploaded several photos with a background full of white, fluffy clouds set against a deep blue sky while the youngest member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan posed in a vivid orange and yellow bathing suit.
The tropical vacation comes as the United States is beset with an arctic freeze and winter won't begin until December 21. Joining Kylie on the get-away is Sofia Richie, Anastasia "Stassi" Karanikolaou, Yris Palmer, and Victoria Villarroel.
E! News spoke to a source who dished upon the all-girl getaway.
"Everyone is planning on relaxing and being low-key. There isn't much to do on the island besides hanging out on the beach, pool, eat, and drink. All the girls love having 'girl time' together catching up and they are enjoying hanging out with Stormi and Yris' daughter."
You may see the photos of Kylie posing in her bikini that she shared with her 151.1 million Instagram followers below.
Kylie looked gorgeous in her fire-hot bikini and wore a thin gold, belly chain that draped low across her waist. The vacation comes after Kylie Jenner and her ex, Travis Scott, sparked rumors that they were back together. Tabloids were buzzing that Kylie Jenner and Drake were romantically involved, yet Kylie, Stormi, and her girlfriends showed up at his Astroworld Fest where they were seen singing, smiling, and dancing .
Reports surfaced saying that Travis Scott called Kylie Jenner his "beautiful wife" during his performance, though a video clip of him saying this hasn't surfaced. Still, the report went viral and sparked rumors that the two were back together. If they are back together, he certainly didn't join Kylie on her girls' only tropical-paradise get-away.
What do you think of Kylie Jenner's bathing suit? The photo is blowing up social media and going viral, as most of Kylie Jenner's bikini shots do. The photos have more than 7.6 million likes compared to the picture of Kylie Jenner in a clinging, pink fabric that has over 2 million likes.


Robbie Robertson: Robbie Robertson
[Hip-O 2006 CD] [Ultradisc cover] [CD cover]
Robbie Robertson's first solo album, released eleven years after the Band called it quits at "The Last Waltz", found the
singer-guitarist mining radically new territory. Hiring Daniel Lanois as coproducer, Robertson crafted an album that owed
very little to the Band's roots-Americana sound. Instead Robertson opted for a quirky, enigmatic modern approach, using
drum programs, the stick, and guest musicians such as U2, Peter Gabriel, and Bill Dillon. If the album had a weakness, it
was in the vocal department. Robertson had only sung lead on a couple of songs with the Band. His reedy ghost of a voice
can be quite effective but wears a bit thin over the course of a whole album. Ultimately that is a minor complaint, as the
songwriting, arrangements, playing, and sound-painting are superb. Highlights: "Broken Arrow" and "Somewhere Down
the Crazy River."
Hip-O (a reissues label in the Universal family) released an expensive 2-CD set with Robbie Robertson and Robbie's 1991 CD Storyville in October 2005, with bonus tracks. On this two-fer, the Robbie Robertson CD is extended with "Christmas (Must Be Tonight)" (Robbie's version from the Scrooged soundtrack) and a gospel remix of the 12" version of "Testimony", by Georgio Moroder. The Storyville CD has the bonus tracks "Storyville" and "The Far Lonely Cry Of Trains," plus interview segments from Robertson.
Videos"Fallen Angel"/"Showdown at Big Sky" (56kb/s)
The videos for the songs "Fallen Angel" and "Showdown at Big Sky"
were filmed at the Marmon Ranch in New Mexico USA near the Acoma Pueblo.
"Showdown at Big Sky" was also filmed in Sky City at the Acoma Pueblo. I was
on the crew that filmed both of these videos in October of 1987. Sky City
is an extremely sacred place to the Acoma Indians and they had never
allowed anyone to film anything there. Due to Robbie's Indian heritage and
the quality of the script, after lengthy negotiations, we were able to
film there for two days. It was an amazing experience.

The Malik Report
from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
“I think we’ve done a lot of good things,” coach Mike Babcock said. “I think we’re a way better team than we were. We’re way quicker. We skate, our young kids are good players. We need a few more of our veterans to be better than they’ve been and we’ll be fine.”
They have gotten a tremendous boost from young forwards Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar, each of whom has 24 points. Nyquist has nine goals in his past 10 games and 14 for the season. Tatar has 13 goals....
“It’s encouraging to see these young guys that really have taken steps in their development,” defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. “That’s made us a faster team and a better team.”
They need more consistent play from goaltender Jimmy Howard and better defense.
If they make a move before the March 5 trade deadline, they’re more apt to pursue a top-four defenseman than a forward. But the pickings are slim, and to acquire any player the soon-to-be capped out Red Wings would need to shed an equal amount of salary. That will make it tough to deal.
If they have to make do with what they have, that’s fine by them.
“I think we’ve been playing a lot better the last 10 games, going the right way,” Zetterberg said. “Hopefully we get some guys back after the break. We’re going to have a fun run all the way into the postseason.”
What looked like a promising effort turned out to be an utter bullshit game. The Red Wings go into the Olympic break still far behind the Bolts and still in "Wild Card" instead of division playoff spots thanks to a combination of poor play during key points of the game and dreadful refereeing or the lack thereof on the game-winner--despite Jonathan Ericsson and Niklas Kronwall looking and playing inept on the Killorn goal, Ericsson's stick was held 2 separate times and Kronwall's stick was held on the goal itself (Glendening's stick being grabbed, held and tugged out of his hands by Tampa was fine though)--and as such, the Red Wings blew a pair of one-goal leads end ended up losing 4-2 to Tampa Bay on Saturday night.
Stephen Weiss will start skating with Whalers on Tues. and if all goes well will play couple games in Grand Rapids weekend of Feb. 21-23.
Riley Sheahan will be reassigned to Grand Rapids during Olympic break (next game is Friday). To be determined if he'll be back after break.
Luke Glendening said he's not eligible to play in Grand Rapids until NHL players resume skating on 2-19. He'll go to GR then and play.
added 1:31pm, Mark Masters of TSN tweets...
Babcock on staying focused before OLY break: "It takes the same amount of time to do it right as to do it wrong. We’re here anyway …"
Babcock: "We’re not going anywhere until the game’s over so why wouldn’t we play well?"
The beat writers report no lineup changes tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning, same group as Thursday.
Ansar Khan of Mlive with a report on Datsyuk and Ericsson today after practice,
“Looks like everybody fast, ice is so small, goalie so big, net so small,” Datsyuk said after practice Friday. “I hope everybody slow down and be careful with my age.”
Datsyuk played on the wing with Darren Helm and Daniel Alfredsson. He might move back to center on Saturday.
“We played him on the wall because he wanted to,” Babcock said. “He practiced in the middle today, but I think he’s going to play on the wall again tomorrow. We’ll just see how he does.”
Said Datsyuk: “It’s first game I played in one month, it’s a little easier to play on the wing. But I’m hoping I play tomorrow at center.”
Asked if he thinks he can handle more minutes, Datsyuk said, “That’s coach priority. If he trusts me more I’ll play more minutes.”
Ansar Khan tweets,
Wings practicing at the Tampa Times Forum. Skating with same lines: Nyquist-Zetterberg-Abdelkader, Datsyuk-Helm-Alfredsson
Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco, Andersson-Glendening-Miller. Eaves, Cleary and Bertuzzi also skating.
added 1:08pm, Khan...
On defense, Weiss is skating in place of Ericsson. No word yet on why Ericsson isn't practicing. But other pairs intact: 27-65 and 23-2.
added 1:34pm, Khan again,
Babcock said Ericsson had maintenance day and expected to play tomorrow.
The Detroit Red Wings' 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers started out as a wash and finished as a heart-attack-inducing thriller, but as the Wings try to solidify at least some sort of playoff footing heading into the Olympic break, I'll take the atrial fibrillation ahead of a day set aside to promote women's heart health.
This time the Red Wings at least flipped the script against a team that's become a nemesis of sorts--and a team that the Wings hopefully won't play again until next season--by out-shooting the Panthers by a wide, wide margin but getting scored on first instead of surrendering a lead, with Scottie Upshall's breakaway goal 19:34 into the 1st (Howard leans to the right, Upshall scores through the left pad) ruining a dominant 11-to-2 shot disparity and incredibly strong first period effort by the Wings.
A slightly tentatative Pavel Datsyuk and company didn't waiver, however, and Daniel Alfredsson scored a helluva top-shelf goal off a fine exchange with Henrik Zetterberg, who didn't get an assist, and a set of passes and rebound retrievals, respectively, by Niklas Kronwall and Justin Abdelkader 6:30 into the 2nd:
from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
“Sooner or later I needed to start,” Datsyuk said after the morning skate. “I’ve been waiting enough.”
It was Datsyuk’s decision. He is the captain of the Russian Olympic team and wanted to play in a couple of games before heading to Sochi, Russia, on Sunday.
“I just hope we’re doing the right thing,” coach Mike Babcock said. “I hope we’re not bringing him back just because it’s the Olympics. I hope he’s actually ready and we’re going to find out tonight. One thing about getting back on the ice, you can’t hide out there.
“It’s in his country, he wants to play bad, but he’s a smart guy, he isn’t going to jeopardize his career over something like this. Makes no sense. So we got to trust him. Same way it happens all the time. You trust them. In the end they make the decision. That’s what injured players do.”
Asked how he feels, Datsyuk said, “It’s hard to say but when game starts, I start to more feel it and then I can say. But now it’s OK.”
Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco, Andersson-Glendening-Miller. Looks like Eaves, Cleary, Bertuzzi are scratched, assuming Datsyuk ready.
added 12:00pm, Khan says Babcock notes Datsyuk is in tonight, Eaves on stand-by just in case.

Before travelling for business or pleasure pet parents find themselves with a difficult decision to make. Where can they find the best care for their pup when business or travel take them away? Uneducated about what is available, many people put their pet in a kennel. The question is, why would you pay a high price to lock your pup in a cage and run the risk of placing them with unknown, sometimes unwell and hostile pups? More and more pet parents are choosing Mad Paws' pet minders as a safe alternative Pet Hosting in Hartley NSW to meet the needs of their pups for the following reasons:
Stable Routine - Before you spend a dime, we ask that you set up a meeting with your pet minder and educate them on your pup's daily routine. The sitter will keep on your pup's schedule making them comfortable, and keeping them healthy.
Nothing Quite Like Home - Pet Hosting gives your pup a temporary home away from home. Pet Hosting locations will remind them of the home they are accustomed to.
No Cages – The last place you want to leave your pup is behind bars in a kennel, which can compound stress for your pup and create worry for you. With a pet minder in a caring home environment your pet will be free and happy.
Affordable – Pet Hosting can meet your budget because you have a vast variety of pet minders to choose from. This gives you more options than kennel care, options of quality care that will not break your bank.
Personal Attention – The quantity and quality of time your pet minder gives your pup cannot be matched in a kennel. In Pet Hosting your pet will not be an animal to be checked on periodically, but instead will be interacting, playing and hanging out with a trusted and reliable caregiver/friend and will be a part of their home activity.
Health – There is no comparison between kennels and Mad Paw’s Pet Hosting when it comes to protecting your pup's health. Physically and mentally your pup gets more attention, more exercise, and more personal interaction with a loving caregiver. With Pet Hosting you not only avoid unknown people, but also keep animals with questionable behavior and health issues from having any interaction with your beloved pup.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Kobe Steel Ltd admitted on Tuesday its data fraud has been going on nearly five decades and also revealed new cases of cheating, highlighting the challenges facing the 112-year-old company mired in compliance failures and malfeasance. Kobe Steel President and CEO Hiroya Kawasaki attends a news conference in Tokyo, Japan March 6, 2018. REUTERS/Toru HanaiJapan’s third-biggest steelmaker said its CEO will step down to take responsibility for the widespread data fraud scandal that came to light last year, although doubts remain over its corporate culture and the possibility of future fines. Kobe Steel, which supplies steel parts to manufacturers of cars, planes and trains around the world, admitted last year to supplying products with falsified specifications to about 500 customers, throwing global supply chains into turmoil. The company, in announcing the results from a four-month-long investigation by an external committee, said it had also found new cases of impropriety, widening the total of affected clients to 605, including 222 customers overseas. “I feel heavy responsibility as our data falsification has caused trouble to so many customers,” the resigning CEO and chairman, Hiroya Kawasaki, told a news conference. “I’ve offered my resignation ... as I think preventive measures should be done under a new management,” he said. Kawasaki will leave his post on April 1, with his successor to be decided soon by the board, the company said. Inappropriate actions were widespread, and were carried out with the knowledge and involvement of many, including management, the company said. Kobe Steel also announced the resignation of Executive Vice President Akira Kaneko and temporary pay cuts for up to 80 percent of all internal directors and executive officers. The case was one of the country’s biggest industrial scandals in recent memory, which set off a rash of malfeasance revelations by other Japanese heavyweights, hitting the country’s reputation for manufacturing excellence. Kobe Steel President and CEO Hiroya Kawasaki attends a news conference in Tokyo, Japan March 6, 2018. REUTERS/Toru HanaiIn the past several months, Mitsubishi Materials Corp, Toray Industries and Ube Industries have also admitted to product data fabrication while automakers Nissan Motor and Subaru Corp have revealed incorrect final inspection procedures. PROBLEMS LONG ENTRENCHED Kobe Steel said the data cheating started at least as early as the 1970s, based on testimony from multiple sources interviewed by the external investigation team. The company mapped out various preventive measures, including setting up an external committee to oversee quality issues, but those familiar with the company say its problems are entrenched. “What you see is a pattern, a culture,” said Steven Bleistein, CEO of Tokyo-based consultancy Relansa. “Company culture is something that a leader creates, so the very least you have to do is to remove the leader and the people who were complicit, from the CEO downwards.” Kobe Steel has had a series of scandals in the last dozen years, including taking part in bid-rigging for a bridge project in 2005, failing to report income to tax authorities in 2008, 2011 and

Absolutely dreadful game!,
This review is from: Mass Effect (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I bought this in great anticipation of a great sci-fi RPG/FPS, and boy was I dissapointed! - I really do wonder about the sort of people who have given this game positive reviews - have they never played Half-Life, Gears of War, Bioshock etc? I admire the attempt to try to bring a new dimension to this type of game, but the execution of it is very poor. The graphics here are clunky and jerky, the controls are irritating beyond belief, the shooting action is just woefully bad, and just as you are starting to get into it, along comes a cut-scene with a load of terible acting and stupid story lines which just get in the way. The scenery and environment are like something from a PS1 games in 1996.
I'd put this game in the same category as that rubbish Lost Planet thing. Avoid!

what game were you playing? No offence but it sounds as though you wouldnt know your arse from your elbow! Half-life, Gears of war and Bio-shock aren't RPG's in anysense of the word so to compare Mass Effect to them is a pretty dumb thing to do. Maybe you should stay away from RPGs as they all have " stupid story lines which just get in the way ". For everyone else, if you enjoyed games like knights of the old republic you wont go wrong with this game. All the so called faults soon pale once you start to get into the game and running this game on an Elite through a 42" 1080p TV looks amazing.
