CHICAGO — Only two more episodes of “The Last Dance” remain after Sunday night. The long-awaited documentary about Michael Jordan and the Bulls has aired the last month with rave reviews and huge ratings.
The seventh episode covered several heavy topics including the murder of Jordan’s father, his first retirement and his attempt at a baseball career. Episode eight looks at the infamous “I’m back” fax, his physical confrontation with Steve Kerr and the record-breaking 1996 season that sparked another three-peat.
Here are just some of the highlights:
Teammates feared Jordan on the court
Being the best player in the world does not mean you are the nicest guy. Several teammates talked about Jordan’s intense leadership style to the point that some actually feared him. Of course, they all agree that style was necessary to be great and he never asked anything he would not do himself. Jordan makes no apologies for being “a tyrant.” He says all he wanted to do was win and have his teammates be a part of it.
Jordan turned into a “vampire” during Space Jam shoot
Michael Jordan’s transition from baseball back to basketball is even more impressive because he was also shooting a movie. Jordan worked 12-hour days Monday-Saturday and still made time to work out. Warner Brothers built him a full-size court and training facility on-set where he invited the best players in the world for pick-up games. BJ Armstrong says the games provided Jordan scouting reports on everyone before the season. The games lasted until 10 p.m., even though Jordan had a 6 a.m., call-time for the “Space Jam” movie. Reggie Miller says, “I don’t know how he did it. This dude is like a vampire, for real.”
Jordan laughs off Payton’s recollection of ’96 Finals
The Bulls 72-win season ended with another championship in 1996. They took the first three games against the Seattle Supersonics, and closed it out in Game 6 on Father’s Day. Gary Payton credits the Sonics’ turnaround in games 4 and 5 to him switching to Jordan with a physical style of defense. You must watch Jordan’s response to Payton’s claim; “I had no problem with ‘The Glove.’ I had a lot of other things on my mind.”
“The Last Dance” concludes with episodes 9 and 10 on ESPN next Sunday night, and will cover the end of the Bulls dynasty.

For some women, a period can be more than just uncomfortable. There are a number of menstrual problems that could affect women. These range from irregular periods to excessive bleeding and premenstrual syndrome. The good news is that homeopathy can be used to effectively treat these problems. Homeopathy is a holistic form of treatment that addresses the root cause of the problem instead of the symptoms. Additionally, it has negligible side effects.
Here are a few homeopathic forms of treatment for menstrual problems:
- Sepia: Sepia can be used to treat late menstruation as well as scanty blood flow. It is also helpful is the period is accompanied by pain and a sense of weight in the pelvic area and lower back. This can also be used to treat irritability and depression.
- Pulsatilla: Pulsatilla is helpful in cases where menstrual bleeding causes substantial weight fluctuations, bloating and water retention. It can also be used to treat irregular periods and scanty or excess blood flow. Pulsatilla is also used as a form of treatment for the severe griping pains that can accompany menstrual flow.
- Cimicifuga: This is used to treat irregular periods and painful periods. It also treats mental unrest, nervousness and irritability triggered by menstruation.
- Lycopodium: In some cases, delayed menses can last longer than normal and have an abnormally heavy blood flow. In such cases, lycopodium is an effective homeopathic remedy.
- Belladonna: Excessive menstrual bleeding and early menses can be treated with belladonna. This type of menses is also accompanied by intense pain that is relieved by standing and cramps in the back and arms. Belladonna is also extremely useful in acute cases of endometriosis and inflammation of the ovaries.
- Creosote: Excessive blood flow that is intermittent and preceded by abdominal bloating can be treated using Creosote. This blood flow is usually dark brown in colour and accompanied by an offensive odor. Creosote can also be used against ulcerations in the female genital organs, burning pain and soreness.
- Helonias: Pain extending from the back of the uterus and loss of muscle strength in the genital organs can be treated with helonias. It can also be used to treat leucorrhoea or dark, offensive vaginal discharge as well as displacement of the uterus.
When prescribing medication for a menstrual problem, a homeopathic doctor not only looks at the symptoms presented but also the personality and lifestyle of the patient. Hence what suits one person may not have the same effect on another. Hence, if you are facing a menstrual problem, it is best to consult a doctor at the earliest.

An area courtroom in Kolkata despatched West Bengal cupboard minister Partha Chatterjee to two-day custody of the Enforcement Directorate. The minister was arrested after being questioned for practically 26 hours by the central probe company.
The Trinamool Congress on Saturday mentioned it can punish West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee if he’s discovered responsible, hours after he was arrested in reference to the instructor recruitment rip-off.
“We’re watching the situation & have faith in judiciary. TMC will not tolerate any discrepancy or malpractice in party or in govt. TMC will act after the judiciary comes out with its verdict,” West Bengal minister Firhad Hakim mentioned at a presser.
However, the TMC chief accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of vendetta politics. “In today’s situation, it seems like ED is being run by BJP. If Suvendu Adhikari is saying that a lot of things are going to be found in the future even before ED is giving any statement. It means that ED is politically influenced by BJP,” ANI quoted the Bengal minister.

ZHUKOVSKY (Moscow region), August 26. /TASS/. Ukrainian company Motor Sich manufacturing engines for aircraft and helicopters loses about $200 million annually due the ban on exports of military products to Russia, the company’s president told TASS on Wednesday.
"We see no obstacles either in Ukraine or in Russia, but we work exclusively in the civilian sector. There is a ban on military cooperation, we have lost certain volumes - 20%, which amounts to $200 million per year," Vyacheslav Boguslayev said.
He noted though that "80% had remained - both aircraft and helicopters, for example, the Antonov AN-148, AN-158 and AN-178." "We manufacture new engines for them, which are allowed, such as TV3-117. We sell engines for helicopters under commercial contracts of the Russian Helicopters company. We are strictly controlled, but no one prohibits that," Boguslayev added.

Sunday, March 25th. The fifth Sunday of Lent.
This morning I was in the Episcopal 101 class at Saint Luke’s. The priest teaching it came into the room, and I immediately sensed that something was wrong. I can’t tell you what made me think this. Something about him seemed heavy. As if he was carrying a burden of some kind. Of course, he has to go ahead and teach his class, not matter what’s going on. And he must lead several worship services on Sunday, regardless of what is happening in his own life.
I was instantly alarmed and concerned for him. I kept watching him closely throughout the class. He read from his notes and talked to us as if everything was normal. But I continued to have a sense or feeling that something was not right. Later, in worship, I watched him at the front. It seemed to me that his head hung a little lower than usual. Something seemed amiss.
I couldn’t get him out of my mind.
It so happens that of the three priests at Saint Luke’s, it was his turn to read the gospel. This is a big deal in the Episcopal Church. There is an entire procession just for this part of the service. The verger leads the way down the aisle, followed by young people with a cross and candles and a boy or girl carrying a gilded Bible held aloft. Everyone in the congregation turns respectfully, following the scriptures down the aisle. When I saw this priest lifting his eyes to the scriptures to read them, I began to weep quietly to myself. Tears ran down my cheeks. I was imaging him carrying some lonely burden of his own, perhaps a spiritual burden of doubt or uncertainty. And yet, here he was faithfully being our spiritual shepherd nonetheless.
It was pure projection. I was projecting my own experiences onto him.
I don’t know this man well enough to be able to spot subtle emotional cues in his behavior. And it’s not realistic for me to have such strong feelings with such intimate details about someone I hardly know. I feel fairly certain that I was projecting upon him what was, in fact, a rather common occurrence for me when I was a minister.
Unless sometimes we make mystical connections with others based on shared experiences. Unless my own Sundays of teaching and preaching when I was depressed and filled with doubts makes me particularly sensitive to subtle cues of this nature. Unless maybe the Spirit of God sometimes whispers into our hearts and urges us to reach out to someone in need.
I wrote this man a little note during church and slipped it into his hand in the narthex (foyer) after the service. I did not mention the details of my feelings about him, since I have no reason to trust those feelings and in fact am suspicious of them. I simply said that I felt moved to keep him in prayer and would be thinking about him during the day and counting my thoughts as constant prayers. That’s all you need to say in a note like this, really.
Because then it doesn’t matter whether it was projection or the Spirit of the Living God. Because prayers offered for others are a goodness beyond the limitations of our small hearts.

Quality management is key to organizational success, and as certain management style shows its effectiveness, more people tend to explore and learn about it. For example, great interest exists among managers from around the world to learn about Japanese management because of the great success of the Japanese companies.
Throughout history, various schools of management have succeeded one after another in attracting the attention of the world’s management readers.
In this column, we will try to shed some light on a relatively obscure management school that far outperformed, more than its contemporaries, and left indelible marks on the minds of innumerable researchers, leaders and managers that followed.
The success of the early Muslims was achieved so rapidly, yet many of its legacy are lasting until today. This historically unique success induced many western scholars to acknowledge Prophet Muhammad as the most influential man in history.
Islaam is a universal religion for all mankind. It is, therefore, not restricted to any nation, race, or gender. Moreover, human beings are social by nature. They need to cooperate with one another in order to be able to survive. Islam stresses cooperation and the sense of collectiveness.
As a matter of fact, Islaam cannot be practiced by any individual in isolation. Islaam is indeed a collective religion. The Qur'an either addresses the Muslims as a group or addresses all mankind. Reading the Qur'an, we find a multitude of expressions like 'O you who believe.... or O Mankind! ….
Islaam requires Muslims to be united together and warns against division: "And hold fast, all together to the rope of Allaah, and be not divided among yourselves…” (Q3[Aal-Imraan]:I03)
Muslims have to work in organized groups for the collective effort of a group of people is always better and more effective than the arithmetic sum of their individuals. "The hand of Allaah is with the group." (Tirmidhi) This hadeeth further lends support to the importance of achieving a certain goal, otherwise it loses its raison de 'etre.
When A1laah orderd Muslims to form a group 'or an organization from among them. He specifies the purpose of the organization, which was calling for good enjoining right and forbidding evil, Allaah says: "let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is evil.... "(Q3[Aal-lmraa]: 104)
Stoner and Freeman defined an organization as two or more individuals that work together in a structured way to achieve a specific goal or set of goals. In the 15th century CE, Al-Qurtubi stated in his explanation of the Quran that the ummah or community is a group of people with a mission and he suggested that a nation without a mission couldn't call itself an ummah.
Daft defined an organisation as a group of people working together to achieve common goals. Stressing the importance goals, Morehead and Griffin stated: "The definition of purpose gives the organization reasons to exist. In effect it answers the question "what business are you in."
With this understanding of the importance of the purpose, we can conclude that collective work, or organized work, is a means of the purpose and that it is not an end in itself. An organization pools together resources and skills that would otherwise be incapable of producing the desired results.
Gibson, lvancevich and Donnelly stated: "Organsation exist for one reason: they can accomplish things that we cannot accomplish individually. Thus, it matters little whether the goal is to make a profit, provide an education, foster religion, improve health care, put a man on the moon, the organisation should get the job done.
Organisations are characterized by their goal or a set of goals and while they are made of a group of people and their future goals. This is because organizations create a setting in which we spend most of our lives. Organisations have provided great services to humanity. Most of the services and product that are available to us are outcomes of organizations.
Education, transportation, food, clothing, appliances, housing, and entertainment are all outcomes of organsations. Without organsations, humanity would not be able to afford the comforts that it is enjoying now.
Generally, the more people get organized, the more productive a country becomes. Nevertheless there are many organizations that have caused a lot of harm to humanity, such organizations include fascist and racist organizations, drug traffickers and other criminal organizations.
Islaam forbids individual or collective cooperation for a wrong goal. Islaam commands us to cooperate together only on beneficial endeaveours. Allaah said: ".Help one another unto righteousness and pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep your duty to Allah is severe in punishment…. " (Q5[Maidah]:2)
Organisations should have plans or specific courses of actions to achieve their objectives and goals. Further, pursuing plans require the organizations to have certain internal processes and certain authority relationships. The pillars of any collective effort are authority, responsibility and accountability. However, the real foundation of any organisation is its culture.

The Tory leader joined cross-party condemnation of former ministers who were caught in an undercover "sting" operation for a television documentary.
Labour was forced to rush forward promises to enforce a compulsory register of lobbying planned in its election manifesto.
But Mr Cameron said the claims raised wider questions about whether the MPs had broken sleaze rules and urged the Prime Minister to probe potential breaches within the Government itself.
"These are shocking allegations. I have been warning for some time that lobbying would be the next scandal to hit politics," the Tory leader said.
All of the MPs filmed, including former cabinet ministers Stephen Byers, Patricia Hewitt and Geoff Hoon, denied any wrongdoing and insisted they had breached no rules.
But Cabinet ministers said the behaviour of former colleagues had been "appalling" and "ridiculous" and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg called it "very, very sleazy".
Mr Byers was among retiring MPs interviewed by an undercover reporter posing as the representative of a fictitious US lobbying firm.
He told an undercover reporter he had secured secret deals with ministers, could get confidential information from Number 10 and was able to help firms involved in price fixing get around the law.
The Sunday Times, which carried out the interviews with Channel 4's Dispatches programme, said Mr Byers, who held several key cabinet portfolios such as trade and transport, wanted 5,000 a day.
The North Tyneside MP retracted his claims – insisting he had "never lobbied ministers on behalf of commercial interests" and had exaggerated his influence. But there were immediate demands by opposition parties and a trade union for an inquiry into a series of policy changes that Mr Byers, who called himself "a cab for hire", said he had secured.
Among Mr Byers's boasts was that he had come to a secret deal with Transport Secretary Lord Adonis over the termination of a rail franchise contract and that Business Secretary Lord Mandelson had got regulations on food labelling amended after he intervened for a supermarket giant.
All parties firmly denied the claims but the Tories and Liberal Democrats said they would table a series of Parliamentary questions seeking clarification.
Mr Byers also faces being reported to the Commons sleaze watchdog but said he was "confident" he would be cleared by any investigation.
Ms Hewitt, a former health secretary, said she "completely rejected" the suggestion that she helped obtain a key seat on a Government advisory group for a client paying her 3,000 a day.
The work under discussion would have been taken up after she stepped down as an MP, she pointed out.
Mr Hoon was reported to have wanted a 3,000 a day to turn his political knowledge and contacts "into something that frankly makes money".
An Commons committee called more than a year ago for a compulsory detailed register of all lobbying to be overseen by a powerful watchdog.

Grand Junction police are investigating the death of a 50 year old man when a car he was working on apparently fell on him. It happened yesterday around noon on Darby Drive in Fruitvale. Police aren't releasing the name of the man until family are notified.
Waiting time for a background check to buy a gun in Colorado is going up, even though the number of requests is going down. The Denver Post says wait-time right now is 9-days, for a process usually taking just minutes. The process became backlogged following a massive rush to purchase guns.
3rd District Congressman Scott Tipton is putting in his two cents on yesterday's Fiscal Cliff vote. Tipton says the bill raises taxes on American families and businesses and increases the size of government without any spending reforms to address the $16.3 trillion national debt. Tipton says the Senate ignored meaningful legislation passed last August that would have avoided tax hikes and put into place a pathway to a simpler and fairer tax code. Tipton voted against yesterday's legislation.
Colorado Senator Mark Udall voted for the fiscal cliff legislation passed yesterday which includes extending the Wind Production Tax Credit Udall has been fighting for. He says it protects thousands of jobs across the country including 5,000 in Colorado. Udall says the bill addresses a series of automatic tax increases for the middle class, but he's calling for a longer term, comprehensive deal on the deficit when Congress returns to work this year.

The chair of the new Committee on Rural and Community Development has committed to creating a counter balance to the capital.
Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Carey, has been appointed by An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to lead the new Joint Oireachtas Committee.
Deputy Carey said the Committee will ensure rural Ireland will play an active role in the nation’s future growth.
Deputy Carey said: “As a TD from a rural county with a strong involvement in community development throughout my time as a public representative, I am delighted to have been given this opportunity to chair the Oireachtas committee on Rural and Community Development.
It’s my strong belief that national policy must compliment both regional and rural policy. It’s critical for our country’s future that the imbalance created by a dominant Dublin is tackled through complementary regional and rural polices designed to create a counter balance to the capital. This type of approach will benefit not just rural Ireland but Dublin as well.”
“I am acutely aware that rural communities have suffered disproportionately from the economic downturn and I believe that the benefits of the recovery should be targeted at helping rural Ireland play an active role in the nation’s future growth. In this respect, the implementation of the Government’s Action Plan for Rural Development is vital,” Deputy Carey said.
“I am looking forward to this new challenge and I am wholly committed to ensuring the Committee’s work has a positive and beneficial impact on rural and community life,” he added.
Deputy Carey has served as a member of the joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection, the British and Irish Parliamentary Assembly and the Dáil Committee on Procedures and Privileges.
He is former Fine Gael Spokesman on Juvenile Justice and Deputy Government Chief whip.

The lights are on
The third installment of the world's premier military sandbox series is nearly ready to deploy, and we've got the screens and trailer to prove it.
Arma 3 follows in the footsteps of Arma 2, offering powerful tools to run your multiplayer server just the way you like with up to 100 or more players battling for supremacy over enormous islands.
Arma 3 comes out this fall on PC.
Visit our E3 News Headquarters for all the stories from the show.
Server box is up and running in eager anticipation for the full map. Cannot wait to get my hands on the full island!
I love arma to death. Even though i have the alpha. I'm waiting to continue playing it until the game is fully launched. The reason is not just because of the bugs, but 99% of the servers are freaking wasteland.
They need to get rid of the wasteland servers that don't have activity on them for over 72hrs and have dedicated servers for the core MP game modes like sector control and public realism units to have their own dedicated servers for people who may or may not be part of a realism unit such as the 15th MEU Reaslism Unit so the can play the multiplayer as realistically as possible.
//end rant. lol
Either way the game is amazing and the trailer looks phenomenal.
I've been in the alpha since they released it,a ton of servers are empty but the ones with people in them are a ton of fun.
This is so awesome, kinda what would be the baby of Ghost Recon and Battlefield
I've been watching this game for a while now, but unfortunately I can't afford a decent PC rig. :(
Looks really cool, would love to see it on next-gen consoles!
Pretty intense alright. Such an upgrade From A2...
I wonder if they will bring DayZ to ARMA III?

Delightful straight ahead jazz that you can mellow out to but really don’t have to. While the players on board might not be household names yet, they certainly should be. Well worth it.

Lady Gaga takes James Corden's place on The Late Late Show - WATCH
The audience of The Late Late Show were surprised when Lady Gaga walked out to host the show instead of the shows usual host James Corden.
On last nights The Late Late Show Lady Gaga walked out and took control. The voice over introduced the show and welcomed "James Corden out" but instead Lady Gaga appeared in a glittery gold dress.
Initially she hushes the live audience before acting as James by saying, "I get it, I get it. You love my show. Hello ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the show."
Her hosting skills were really on point as she starts the show by telling a joke as "Lady Haha." Her joke is obviously about Donald Trump who is starting a news broadcast on Facebook, she compares it to broadcasting her concerts with the difference being "instead of their being Little Monsters there will be an actual monster."
Sadly, she is then interrupted by James who comes running out in a shirt and underwear.
The two have a lighthearted shady argument as James shouts, "People love my monolog! They look forward to it all day."
Gaga is quick with a comeback as she disses James saying, "Thats not what it said on Twitter."
James then tells Gaga to go but after the audience boo him he asks her to come back and sit with the band for the night.
The clip then cuts to Gaga asking Matt LeBlanc "Who would you rather Rachel or Monica?" A question we've always wanted to know. You'll have to watch the clip to find out his answer.
She then ends the show by singing a song from her new album Joanne.

Bota Box, the nation’s leading eco-friendly wine producer of premium 3-liter varietals, unveils Nighthawk Black, a distinct new addition to the Bota Box portfolio. -I just about cried when Matt told me how many calories were in one of his home brews. For the sake of full disclosure, I often have a box of red and a box of white floating around the house. Some scientists believe it has to do with the antioxidants in red wine, but personally, I think the x factor is the daily ritual of unwinding at the end of the day, be it with a frosty brew, a dark red, or a spot of green tea. A 4 oz. glass of red or white wine will almost always be under 100 calories, depending on the grape variety. I keep my Saturdays open for experimenting with new brew at the bar, but having a Bota Box of Chardonnay at the ready in my apartment has definitely been a great way for me and the girlfriend to unwind and keep the knotches stagnant on my belt.

Adidas produces more than 400 million pair of shoes a year. Making new materials is not doing good for the environment. Hence, Adidas has other plans in mind. Experts claim that there will be more plastics in oceans than fishes in the coming 30 years. Furthermore, another study reveals that 90% of seabirds are consuming plastic waste.
These pollutions in the ocean and by the beaches are dangerous for humans and sea livings. So, Adidas is taking the initiative to stop some of the rubbish from reaching the ocean. Adidas is working with environmental organization Parley for the Oceans to transform marine pollution into sportswear, sneakers, and sports shoes. In 2019, Adidas made over 11 million pairs of shoes with plastic waste from the ocean. The partnership with Parley for the Oceans prevented 2,810 tons of plastic from the oceans.
How are the shoes made?
The process kickstarts at the beach where Parley and partners collect rubbish from coastal areas. Then the plastic is sent to the processing plant. The plant uses recovered plastic for their work. A normal recycling facility receives caps and rings from bottles. Following that, the processing plant washes and dehydrates the waste, which changes into plastic flakes. The plastic flakes are cut into small resin pellets. Lastly, the final form of plastic waste, a form of polyester yarn is used to make upper parts of shoes and jerseys. This material provides the same performance and comfort for users. Plus, polyester uses lesser water and chemicals.
Adidas is making more than 40% of its apparel with recycled polyester to date. College football, basketball, baseball, and the Australian Open is making clothes made of ocean plastic. However, this does not decrease the pollution effectively. The sportswear giant suggests consumers wash their clothes when needed only and fill the washing machine each time.
Besides that, Adidas is making a new effort called The Futurecraft Loop, which recycles old shoes to be remade as new ones. This development will be available from 2021. With compliance from Parley for the Oceans, Adidas is making new products from available waste materials. Sustaining a better future is proven to be possible with these efforts.

Ventilation is necessary in buildings to remove 'stale' air and replace it with 'fresh' air.
This helps to:
- Moderate internal temperatures.
- Reduce the accumulation of moisture, odours and other gases that can build up during occupied periods.
- Create air movement which improves the comfort of occupants.
Very broadly, ventilation in buildings can be classified as 'natural' or 'mechanical'.
- Mechanical (or 'forced') ventilation tends to be driven by fans.
- Natural ventilation is driven by 'natural' pressure differences from one part of the building to another. Natural ventilation can be wind driven, or buoyancy driven. For more information see Natural ventilation.
- The building is too deep to ventilate from the perimeter.
- Local air quality is poor, for example if a building is next to a busy road.
- Local noise levels mean that windows cannot be opened.
- The local urban structure is very dense and shelters the building from the wind.
- Air cooling or air conditioning systems mean that windows cannot be opened.
- Privacy or security requirements prevent windows being opened.
- Internal partitions block air paths.
- The creation of draughts adjacent to openings.
NB Some of these issues can be avoided or mitigated by careful siting and design of buildings.
The term 'assisted ventilation' typically refers to systems where fresh air enters a building through windows or other openings, but is extracted by continuously running fans.
'Trickle ventilation', 'slot ventilators' or 'background' ventilation can be necessary in modern buildings, (which tend to be designed to be almost completely sealed from the outside to reduce heat loss or gain) so that problems such as condensation, are avoided when openings are closed.
This tendency to 'seal' modern buildings can also adversely affect occupant comfort, as generally, occupants feel more comfortable if there is some air movement (as long as draughts are not created). This situation can be mitigated by heat recovery ventilation (HRV). This permits increased ventilation rates by recovering heat from extract air and using it to pre-heat incoming fresh air using counter-flow heat exchangers. Heat recovery is increasingly common in mechanical ventilation systems. It is also possible, although complicated with some natural ventilation systems.
Ventilation systems may also include heating, cooling, filtration and humidity control. The acronym HVAC refers to Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning. The phrase 'air conditioning' refers to the process of conditioning the temperature and humidity (and sometimes the quality) of air before using it to ventilate a building. Air conditioning and cooling are not the same, although the terms are often used synonymously by non-professionals.
Rates of ventilation in buildings can be expressed in terms of air change rates (the number of times that the volume of air in a space is changed per hour) or litres per second. The ventilation rate will be determined by the type and size of space and the way it is occupied (for example, the number of occupants, sources of heat, moisture, odour, contaminants and so on). Ventilation in buildings is regulated by Part F of the building regulations.
Whilst there are simple 'rules of thumb' that can be used to design straight-forward ventilation systems, more complex systems may require analysis using environmental design software. Modelling air flow patterns is particularly complex requiring the use of computational fluid dynamics software. This is complicated further by the interaction of ventilation systems with thermal mass, solar radiation and so on. Whilst there are software packages that can be used for this sort of analysis, the results they produce are very dependent on the way that models are set up, and this requires a great deal of expertise and experience.

I have to admit that I’m not the biggest fan HonkFest, the festival of activist street bands that takes over my neighborhood once per year. It’s mostly because I live so close to Davis Square that I hear the bands all day long if I try to stay in my house. Because I also have to admit that when I leave my house and actively participate in HonkFest, I get it. It’s really energizing and positive.
Today, I got out of my house and participated in HonkFest 2018, which seems particularly poignant on this charged day when Justice Kavanaugh was sworn in to the Supreme Court. I bought a t-shirt to support HonkFest.

Is there an American writer more interesting both as a writer and as a person than Mark Twain? Some may be more compelling in one category or the other, but as a combination Twain is hard to beat.
Consider not only what he said and wrote, but what he did and was and endured. He was Southerner, Northerner, Westerner and New England Yankee, a wanderer whose travels were no escape from the hammer-blows of numerous sorrows, including the deaths of his beloved wife, Livy, and three of his four children.
He was a printer's apprentice, riverboat pilot, Confederate soldier, gold prospector, newspaperman, lecturer, businessman and bankrupt. "I have been an author for 20 years," he wrote to one inquirer, "and an ass for 55."
The sheer interestingness of Twain's life is what comes through in this heavily illustrated biography, which is a tie-in to the Ken Burns' Twain documentary on PBS. The book is relatively short and light, but not necessarily slight; it gives a good idea of the man and his times, as in its discussion of the long gestation of Huckleberry Finn.
Thus, while the biography is more than just pictures accompanied by text, the illustrations lend great appeal. Some have not often been published before, such as the really candid Kodak snapshots taken of him on his round-the-world tour.
Twain lived through the flowering of the photography age, so his life is fairly extensively recorded on film, from teenager to funeral. In addition there are many other engaging illustrations, including lecture programs, manuscripts and the sprightly Norman Rockwell paintings for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
In an essay herein, novelist Russell Banks remarks on Twain's refusal to age: "He feels modern -- like our contemporary, almost." What William Dean Howells said after attending Twain's funeral remains true today: He is "the Lincoln of our literature."
Still, has anyone ever read Tom Sawyer Abroad? Anyone, that is, aside from when it was first published in 1894 and today's scholars?
If you haven't, here's your chance, though -- fair warning -- it gives ammunition to those who criticize the inclusivist policies of the Library of America in publishing the lesser works of our great writers and the better works of our less great writers. The present volume is the sixth and final one in the library's collection of Mark Twain's writings, and if it's not the bottom of the barrel, you can see it from here.
Yet it's an intriguing barrel. Even at his weakest, it is impossible for Twain to be uninteresting, and it's good to have all the works of our literary giants available. (This one is being issued in time to ride the coattails of Burns' PBS documentary on Twain.)
Tom Sawyer Abroad is a sprightly, novella-length tale. The title notwithstanding, it is not a sequel to Tom Sawyer, but takes off from the closing pages of Huckleberry Finn, with Tom, Huck and the ex-slave, Jim, going off on further adventures.
This time, the place of the raft is taken by a hot-air balloon and that of the river (representing a place of safety) by the sky. In the balloon, they travel from St. Louis to Africa, where they get into a number of scrapes.
The language is fresh, vigorous, and inventive, and there are numerous flashes of Twainian humor, but it has to be admitted that Abroad is but a pale reflection of the characters and story of Huckleberry Finn. The focus is on Tom, to whom a less innocent Huck and a more simple-minded Jim play straight men. The trip has little purpose other than to let Tom show off, and it ends abruptly.
The same criticisms, but in spades, for Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896). It is even shorter than Abroad, Jim is absent from it, Huck is just sort of along for the ride, and the "detective story" part is disappointing.
The Gilded Age is probably the most generally recognized title in this collection. Indeed, the title may be the most memorable thing about the book, because it gave a name to the postwar Grant period in -- and about -- which it was written.
Published in 1873, it was written in collaboration with Twain's neighbor, Charles Dudley Warner. Though overlong and oddly plotted, it is not at all bad reading, being in a sense the Babbitt of its day, in that its central character, Col. Sellers, is a brazen promoter in the way that Babbitt is a booster (though Babbitt does not have Sellers' bent for rascality).
Twain continued to use the Sellers character in several other forms through the years, including the novel An American Claimant (1892), also collected here.
By far the best and most interesting novel in the collection is No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger. This is not The Mysterious Stranger that has been read for decades, which Twain's executor and editor pulled together from his manuscripts, written from 1897 to 1908, and published in 1916. That version is widely considered fraudulent. This text, established by the Mark Twain Project at the University of California in 1969, is believed to be closest to what Twain intended.
No. 44 is a most strange and wondrous work. Like all of Twain's major writings, it is concerned with the past, in this case Austria in 1490, when a mysterious young stranger shows up at a print shop and becomes an apprentice.
When asked, he says he is called "Number 44, New Series 864,962," and the strange moniker is only the beginning of disruptions he causes -- chiefly through his unearthly niceness. Using him as a sort of fulcrum, Twain launches into a wildly imaginative inquiry into themes and concepts that bedeviled him all his life: religion, the soul, freedom, identity, dreams, dream-life (that is, might this life be but a dream?).
"Nothing exists; all is a dream," No. 44 says at the end. "God -- man -- the world -- the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars: a dream, all a dream, they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space -- and you!"
It is really quite chilling, and far different from the cub pilot on the Mississippi or the anatomist of the central concern of American life, racism. It harks back to Rabelais and Cervantes and looks forward to Freud and Joyce.
And it is proof that even toward the end of his life, Mark Twain the writer and thinker could be at the top of his form.


CES 2013 saw Audi reveal a number of new lighting technologies which will make some major aesthetic changes to automotive design.
We see the progressive “Swarm” technology enforced on the vehicle’s sides. Adopting OLED technology, the lights are replaced with a large continuous light panel of countless flickering light waves, which synchronize the vehicle with its speed and movement. “Laser Tail Light,” provides drivers with good visibility behind them even in challenging weather conditions. Additionally, a fan-shaped laser trail beams downwards to the road, prompting drivers to keep their sufficient distance.

Salam Ramadan from Ansan, Korea
Indonesian migrant workers and Indonesian community in Ansan were celebrating the Ramadan with a concert. In line with the current issues, we also made the concert into an outlet to collect some donation for our beloved friend, Benro, who's diagnosed with cancer...and also...we waved the awareness among our fellow members about the current issue happening in Gaza. Save the Palestine movement was also one of the highlights of the concert.
Since it's carried out in an open air stage next to Ansan Migrant Center, lots of people did come in and participated in the event.
Our friend, ms. Uswariyah, was interviewing one of the directors of Ansan Migrant Center during the event.
As for me...the selfie-freak....., Aris, me, and Awan...were selfie-ing ourselves with the concert as the background.
Crowds. Music overheard. Bazaar. Ramadan. Summer. Fun. Togetherness.
All in one.
