Castelnau de Montmirail
By: Admin|Published on: Nov 17, 2011|Categories: History, Where to Go| 0 comments
Perched high above the valley of the Vère, overlooking the vineyards of Gaillac, stands the village of Castenau de Montmirail, classed as one of the most beautiful villages of France.
The village was founded in 1241 under the name of "Castelnou" – new castle, "de Montmirail" – an admirable mountain of beauty, or a place where a watch can be kept over the surrounding countryside, although there is evidence of a much earlier Gallo-Roman settlement on the spot.
Raymond VII, count of Toulouse, ordered the building of the village in 1220, basically to keep a close eye on the people of the area in one place.
Attacks on the surrounding countryside, by the armies of The Black Prince, were rife during the 100 Years War – although they didn't dare attack the stonghold at Castenou de Montmirail.
During the Wars of Religion, Castelnou de Montmirail welcomed Catholics who were chased from Gaillac by the majority Protestants, which led to attacks by the armies of Captain Bruniquel in 1587.
Legend states that a woman collecting water from the well, saw the armies approaching and raised the alarm in order that the villagers were able to prepare the defences, resisting the attack by Bruniquel.
There was a château in the village, the crumbling remains were destroyed in 1819.
The church of Notre-Dame de L'Assomption, dating from 15th and 16th century, is not to be missed, especially for the beautifully painted frescoes on the ceiling depicting the life of The Virgin Mary and the cross of immense value dating from 1341, encrusted with precious stones, fragments of the Cross of Jesus Christ and other relics of the Apostles. The cross was made in Albi by a jeweller and finished by a master jeweller in Toulouse.
Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir visited the village, there is a plaque that commemorates this with an inscription by Simone de Beauvoir: "Sartre preferred stones (or buildings) and trees, my plans took his tatstes into account. Sometimes walking, sometimes by bus, we visited the towns and villages, abbeys and castles. One evening we took a crowded little bus which took us to Castelnau de Montmirail. It was raining as we left the bus in the square, surrounded by arched, covered walkways. Sartre turned to me and said that he had now had enough of being mad."
Of the six original gateways that lead from the village to the ramparts, three remain – the others having been destroyed during th French Revolution.
The architecture of the village varies between cut stone to half-timbered houses, overhanging the main square, mainly dating from the 15th and 16th century.
There is an imposing pillar in the main square called "Le Pillori", where livestock were tied 24 hours being killed and butchered, but also where adulterous women and marauders were also put on show for all to see.
Further on, the "Fontaine des Canelles" which i originally a Gallo-Roman spring, but which has the date 1597 inscribed into the stone and two shells signifying St Jacques de Compostelle.
There is plenty of room for car-parking around the ramparts for visitors, where the views over the surrounding countryside are truly stunning.
If you are in the area, don't forget to visit Cordes sur Ciel (see our post on this), Gaillac, Albi and the beautiful villages in the immediate vicinity.

Q: Cookie management with persistence PEAR's HTTP_Request2 - I've got a HTTP_Request2_CookieJar object that I wish to save for a later session.
The manual for HTTP_Request2 says it implements the serializable interface. The source the manual refers to does indeed show implementations of the serialize() and unserialize() contracts.
But that source is Feb 2011. The latest August 2011 source no longer implements the serializable interface.
Serializing the object with using PHP's serialize()/unserialize() appears to be a nightmare from some searching I've done on it.
The nice thing about HTTP_Request2's cookie jar was it automatically handled cookies during the session, but I need them to persist between sessions and don't really want to have to spend a night writing pages of code to do so.
Is there an easiest path to take here?

A: By default, session cookies are not serialized.  You must call serializeSessionCookies(true) on the CookieJar object before serializing.  See HTTP_Request2_CookieJar::serializeSessionCookies.
The code for serializing:353 and unserializing:376 is present in March 2012, so maybe the developer put it back in.

A: I'd like to note the question gives misleading info.
HTTP_Request2_CookieJar implemented Serializable interface from the very beginning and this was never removed, see this SVN annotation.

Robert Lentz of Business Management Daily took on this greeting and phrased it in different ways.
"Good weekend?" says you don't care about details. You are just being nice, Lentz wrote in an article published Aug. 7, 2016, in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"Did you have a good weekend?" That conveys more courtesy, Lentz writes.
"Did you do anything interesting this weekend?" commits you to a conversation, writes Lentz.
"What did you do this weekend" demonstrates actual interest in someone's life, according to Lentz.
We greet each other in different ways for different reasons. Sometimes, we really don't want to know how someone is, or what they have done, but ask anyway, just to be nice.
Other times, we genuinely want to know how someone is doing, or what cool things they have done, and really want to talk to them.
It's not just how one greets people. It's how one responds to a greeting.
If someone asks how you are, do you respond positively and with enthusiasm?
If someone asks you what you did over the weekend, do you proceed to tell them in great detail, whether you think they want to know or not?
Greetings, and responses to them, don't just have different meanings, they say a lot about people.
If things aren't going well in your life, do you want to dump your problems onto others, or do you want others to think all is well with you?
It's best to have an attitude of gratitude. It's best not only to be positive and enthusiastic around others, but to actually feel that way.
Sometimes, when you are going through a rough patch, it takes work to remain positive. A rule of thumb here is to always think about the GOOD things in your life, to get you through those rough patches. It may be easier said than done, but it can be done.
If you ask someone how he or she is doing, or how his or her weekend was, take a genuine interest in what they say, and invite conversation. Sometimes, that one conversation could uplift you, especially if you have hit a rough patch.
If you've hit a financial rough patch, there are many solutions out there. Message me if you want to know about one of the best. You'll learn about lots of happy people who've built great relationships and solved their financial issues.
Happiness can take work, but it is well worth it. The next time someone asks how your weekend was, respond with enthusiasm and be curious about how that person's was.
That may not only brighten your day, but it might enhance your life.
During their working years, women tend to earn less than men.
When they retire, women are more likely to live in poverty.
So says an article by Adam Allington of the Associated Press, published in the July 11, 2016, edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Women who raised children and cared for the sick and elderly family members often take what savings and income they have and spend it on something other than their own retirement security, Allington writes.
He quotes the National Institute on Retirement Security, which reports that women are 80 percent more likely than men to be impoverished at age 65 and older. Women 75 to 79 are three times more likely, Allington writes.
"I've had jobs that included a 401(k) and I was able to put some money aside every month," Allington quotes Marsha Hall, 60. "But then I would get laid off and have to cash out the 401(k) to have money to live on," he quotes Hall, who was born and raised in Detroit, is divorced and has no children.
Hall works part time as a file clerk, and she and her siblings chip in to care for their 75-year-old mother, Allington writes.
"If it wasn't for Section 8 (a housing subsidy), I don't know where I'd be living," Allington quotes Hall.
Many men also have undergone a layoff in the last few years. Many families have lost their homes and have had to liquidate some, if not all, of their retirement savings.
Some see themselves scraping together a living via Social Security, part-time or even full-time jobs well into their golden years – presuming they can find those. For many, trying to reproduce the income they had in a job they lost is nearly impossible, as they see it.
Fortunately, there are solutions out there that can produce an income – even a better income than one has ever had – that don't involve subsidies, or working at a traditional W-2 job in your golden years, and allow a person to help others do the same. For one of the best, message me.
Traditionally, women have borne the brunt of caregiving. They have also, in many cases, had to take off some work time to have children.
Much research has shown that, in general, they have also earned cents on the dollar vs. men.
These phenomena may have put women behind in earnings, thereby putting them behind in terms of retirement savings.
But both men and women are facing what Hall has faced in recent years: layoffs and not being able to replace a lost job with one that yields as good or better income than what was lost.
It's important for everyone to have a Plan B in case the worst happens. If you have a good job, stay with it and save as much of your income as you can. Invest those savings well, with the help of a trusted adviser. If life forces you to take a break from work, try not to deplete those savings, though that may be easier said than done.
Most of all, make a secure retirement a priority in your life by spending less and saving more.
"Managing multigenerational workforces is an art in itself," says a quote from Harvard Business School.
"Young workers want to make a quick impact, the middle generation needs to believe in the mission and the older employees don't like ambivalence. Your move," the quote continues.
Eric Harvey and Silvana Clark have compiled a book titled "Boomers vs. Millennials: Listen, Learn and Succeed Together." Half the book is written from the viewpoint of the millennials. The second half is written from the viewpoint of the boomers.
There is no right or wrong on either side, the authors argue. It's just a matter of how different age groups see the world.
Millennials are tech whizzes. Boomers? Not so much. Millennials want things to happen quickly. They want to get immediately recognized for everything they do. They need constant feedback, the book says.
Boomers are a little more patient. They can be left alone without much feedback to get their jobs done.
Millennials look for a good work-life balance. Boomers can, and have, put their jobs first in many cases.
Regardless of your age group, we all want work to be rewarding. We all want to be paid fairly for what we do. We all want the time to have a full life and we all want to have enough in our elder years to feel comfortable about retirement.
Too often, jobs lack some of those provisions. Chances are, if you are paid well, you are working long hours. You are putting the rest of your life on hold to keep those paychecks flowing.
If you are not paid well, unless you have a certain degree of personal satisfaction from your work, chances are you are not happy.
It's always good to find something good in any job, lest you do something rash and quit.
Boomers, and workers who are even older, have grown up with some degree of job security. Generally, if one worked hard and stayed out of trouble, he or she advanced at work. Millennials probably will not have that. They will go from job to job — sometimes by their own choosing, sometimes not — looking for the ideal situation.
Employers have to understand this phenomenon if they want to keep good people. The Harvey and Silvana book provides some insight to employers, as well as employees, to understand those from different generations.
If you are a millennial, and you bounce from job to job looking for the ideal, wouldn't it be nice to have an income that is not dependent on a traditional, W-2 job? If you are a boomer, and approaching retirement age, wouldn't it be nice to have an income that will augment what you will get when you retire? Wouldn't each generation like to leave a legacy of helping others? In any case, you may find an answer at www.bign.com/pbilodeau.
We all have different needs. We may not always understand the folks from our children's or our parents' generation. But we all must work and live in the same world. It's best if we try to empathize with each other, rather than criticize each other.
No one is right or wrong, the authors contend. So let's accept each other for who we are, and try to understand where each is coming from. All will be more productive in that case.


Taking a chance and making a change in life does not always come easy. There are the finical aspects of it as well as the psychological aspects, but California native Amanda Tjan has been able to conquer that and more. Tjan attended Boston College and while there studied abroad in Madrid. " I fell in love with the city," she said. " I wanted to come back." And after graduating in 2011, that's exactly what she did. She moved to Madrid to teach English and continued to fall in love with the city. " With the city, and not a boy," she clarified. Always a fan of fashion, Tjan noticed, "in Madrid- and Spain in general- they're about 2 years behind as far as fashion goes and there's not a lot of variation." So she took it upon herself to change that and start her own jewelry line: Manda Unchained.
"Manda in Spanish is the command form for the word to demand. The idea of Manda Unchained is to demand what you want, to be bold and feel free to break out of your chains and to be a confident strong woman," Tjan explains. In addition to her women empowerment message, she is also starting to do men's pieces as well. For two years, she taught English in Madrid and at the same time met local designers, shop owners, and people in the fashion industry who helped her with her own dreams. "My friend has a store that's pretty well known in Madrid and she was like 'I'll sell your ring bracelets' and so I started out with that." Her products soon expanded into a variety of jewelry pieces all inspired from her travels and the different cultures she's experienced. "I was born in Southern California, and since then I've lived in Boston, New York, and now Madrid. Each place has taught me something different and formed a part of my personality and style, which I think is reflected in my jewelry." Now when she travels, she is constantly looking for new stones and different elements to use in her pieces as well as taking things she sees and reinterpreting them into her own original design.
So what does Tjan have in store next? Exactly that: a store. "I'm hoping that in the next 10 years I'll have my own jewelry showroom that'll also have a collection of clothing from local designers that I like." "I'm also looking to move to different cities to grow as a designer." With plans to grow her jewelry line within the next two to five years and the goal of opening a store in ten, we have no doubt Tjan is on her way to continued success. She overcame her fears and found her niche in fashion while making fashion forward moves in Spain. Now that's true confidence. Tell us how you are breaking the mold in the comments below.


The stories of students and children who are the victims of child abuse rarely intersect in published works for a variety of reasons, including a lasting social stigma which constitutes the child and adult as suspect, because of what they survived. Children who have abuse in their backgrounds are frequently thought to be unable to transition to the professional world, through the long years necessary to finish college, and are often thought to be incapable of the feats of self-control and adaptation which are a part of academic success. They are treated and spoken of as permanently ruined adults, condemned to a life which is profoundly impaired. This is a collection of stories of children who died as a result, and the few who've made it into academia and the professional world— what it costs the adult and child to be here. In this collection, my own story and the stories of others are presented not as a cautionary tale, or even a tale of the exceptional person, but as the attempt to demonstrate the unique problems academia and the professional world offers people like me. This is the attempt to offer the victims of child abuse a narrative which demonstrates the challenges and the horrors of these experiences, and offers a pattern which victims can use to get out of the places where they are trapped. This collection is for the lost, with love, from someone who has been there.

CREATING CHANGE
At Carlyle, we invest for impact across all of our businesses. From due diligence through exit, our approach at Carlyle has always been to partner with management teams to improve all aspects of a business. We do this because we believe that building better businesses generates lasting value creation, which has been the focus of Carlyle since our founding.
The Impact of Better Businesses
We Build Better Businesses
In close partnership with all of our businesses, we are focused on building sustainable businesses by:
Creating diverse and inclusive teams that make better decisions
Ensuring employees are healthy, engaged, productive and have the right skills for their jobs
Integrating tailored ESG plans to reduce risk and drive value
Navigating the challenges and opportunities of climate change and the energy transition
Playing a vital role in local communities
Sustainability at Carlyle
ESG considerations play an increasing role in our investment processes. Our commitment to sustainability influences strategy, brings new ideas for operational efficiency and helps unlock value. Pursuing tailored ESG strategies that focus on material issues for individual businesses is one way we're driving impact at our portfolio companies.
In addition to our work with portfolio companies, we're equally committed to sustainability within our firm. In 2018, we became the first major private investment firm to operate on a carbon-neutral basis.
Impact at Carlyle Our Covid-19 Response
Results In Numbers
We work collaboratively across funds, industries and geographies to bring success to our partners.
Pension funds are our largest group of investors, representing almost half of our investor base.
$190+ billion in investment gains over 30 years
Our funds have generated more than $180 billion in investment gains over 30+ years, which have helped provide retirement security for teachers, police officers, firemen and other public and corporate-sector employees.
960,000 people globally
We work to improve and grow our active portfolio companies, which employ more than 960,000 people globally.
Diverse Boards
As a result of multiple years of investment, we are making progress on the composition of the boards of our portfolio companies. In 2016, we created a goal within our US corporate private equity business to have diverse boards for all of our majority-owned company boards within 2 years of taking control of the company. At the time, 38% of eligible boards met the goal. Four years later, that figure has risen to 88% overall and 100% in our flagship US Buyout funds. And in 2020, we expanded our portfolio company diversity goal to achieve 30% diversity of all directors in corporate private equity controlled companies around the world by 2023.
In 2021, Carlyle secured the largest ESG-linked private equity credit facility in the US for $4.1 billion and the first facility to focus exclusively on advancing board diversity. Carlyle structured this revolving credit facility for its Americas corporate private equity funds with the price of debt directly tied to the firm's previously set goal of having 30% diverse directors on the boards of Carlyle corporate private equity controlled companies within two years of ownership.
Carlyle will continue its efforts to work closely with its portfolio companies to achieve its board diversity goal, with measurable KPIs. Learn more here.

CARDINAL RENEWABLES
Electricity generation is one of the largest sources of global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 28% of U.S. emissions alone – almost two-thirds of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels. As renewable energy costs continue to fall, regulations tighten, and the energy transition accelerates, however, there is a large and growing investment opportunity in building the renewable energy capacity required to power a lower-carbon US electricity grid.
Learn about how our Carlyle Renewable and Sustainable Energy Platform helped establish Cardinal Renewables and:
Develop and sell solar power generation assets across the US;
Model out total potential carbon emissions abatement capacity of specific projects; and
Open up distinctive opportunities to drive forward the energy transition
JEANOLOGIA
We track ESG data so that we can make better investment decisions and build better, more sustainable businesses. Carlyle Europe Partners is in its fourth year of tracking material, bespoke ESG key performance indicators (KPIs) across its portfolio companies, which has led to even more use cases than we originally envisioned. One of those companies is Jeanologia, a Valencia, Spain-based portfolio company at the forefront of sustainable and eco-efficient technologies for manufacturing denim, which focuses on significantly reducing the amount of water and chemical usage in finishing processes.
Learn about how Carlyle Europe Partners collaborated with Jeanologia to:
Track a series of material ESG KPIs that range from energy management to employee health and safety;
Save roughly 10.7 million cubic meters of water; and
Link funded debt directly to specific ESG criteria
In early 2019, when our deal team was looking into an investment in Weiman, they saw a strong operation and a leader in all manner of specialty cleaning products for the home. Our ESG team identified the key growth area for the company: a more-intentional focus on sustainable and safe-to-use products, in response to evolving consumer demand. The investment team agreed, and put a sustainability expert with a background in chemical engineering on the Company's Board of Directors from the outset.
Learn about how our ESG team partnered with Weiman on:
Getting product lines certified for their environmental attributes;
Identifying and purchasing Bio-Kleen, a line of products that use enzymes to clean as opposed to harsh solvents; and
Reducing the company's manufacturing footprint
HIREVUE
Diversity is a central priority for many companies – however, businesses frequently struggle to find ways to expand their hiring pipeline, find more diverse candidates, and reduce unconscious bias in hiring decisions. HireVue's core business model helps solve these challenges.
Carlyle Partners VII partnered with HireVue, a tech company which provides virtual interviewing and assessment technologies to help companies find the most qualified and diverse candidates more quickly. The effectiveness of the technology is core to HireVue's value proposition, which has several unique components:
HireVue's tech platform helps companies cast a wider net: instead of only sending recruiters to top tier universities for example, HireVue customers can screen video interviews from a wider array of potential applicants – their customers see up to 2x more candidates because they're not limited by geography or scheduling issues
HireVue creates a more consistent process: traditional screening practices, such as resume scans, are inconsistent. Structuring the interview process from the start brings consistency and fairness resulting in better, more inclusive hiring
And finally, HireVue reduces unconscious bias: HireVue's technology seeks to eliminate unreliable and inconsistent variables, such as which university or college was attended or grade-point average, neither of which has been proven to be predictive of job success

PCAOB adopts rules on communication between audit committees, external auditors
A new auditing standard approved unanimously Wednesday by the PCAOB is designed to encourage two-way, effective communication between external auditors and audit committees during public company audits.
With the aim of improving audit quality, the PCAOB approved Auditing Standard (AS) No. 16, Communications With Audit Committees, and amendments to other PCAOB standards. AS 16 describes interactions a public company auditor will be required to have with the audit committee.
AS 16 supersedes AU Sec. 310, Appointment of the Independent Auditor, and AU Sec. 380, Communication With Audit Committees. AU Sec. 380 referred to communication between auditors and audit committees as incidental to the audit. The new standard makes it clear that communication is essential to a high-quality audit.
The PCAOB has no jurisdiction over audit committees, so the standard's requirements are aimed strictly at external auditors. The new standard requires auditors to:
Establish the understanding of the terms of the audit engagement with the audit committee. The terms of the engagement must be recorded in an engagement letter. Previously, AU Sec. 310 had required the understanding to be established with company management rather than the audit committee.
Provide audit committees with an overview of the overall audit strategy, including the timing of the audit, significant risks the auditor identified, and significant changes to the planned audit strategy or risks.
Provide information about others involved in the audit, including internal auditors or other independent public accounting firms.
Give information regarding the company's accounting policies, practices, estimates, and significant unusual transactions.
Provide an evaluation of the quality of the company's financial reporting, including conclusions regarding critical accounting estimates and the company's financial statement presentation; difficult or contentious matters for which the auditor consulted outside the engagement team; the auditor's evaluation of the company's ability to continue as a going concern; and difficulties encountered in performing the audit.
As with all PCAOB standards, AS 16 must be approved by the SEC. The SEC also must determine whether the standard should apply to emerging growth companies as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012, P.L. 112-106; the PCAOB recommended that such companies be required to apply the standard.
If approved by the SEC, the standard would be effective for public company audits of fiscal periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2012.
PCAOB Chairman James Doty said the standard appropriately describes best practices that the PCAOB has learned from experience and advice.
"I believe the standard moves the auditor's communication with the audit committee away from compliance checklists, decisively in the direction of meaningful, effective interchange," Doty said during a public meeting. "We have taken care to avoid miring both the auditor and the audit committee in minutiae."
Cindy Fornelli, executive director of the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ), which is affiliated with the AICPA, said effective and engaged audit committees, through their oversight of the external auditor, play a critical role in serving the interests of investors and establishing good corporate governance.
"The CAQ supports efforts to enhance the effectiveness of audit committees, including two-way communications with the external auditor, to further assist audit committees in fulfilling their statutory responsibilities on behalf of investors," Fornelli said.
Cathy Lego, independent audit committee chair of California-based tech companies SanDisk Corp. and Lam Research Corp., said the communication required by the standard already is taking place in many cases. She said audit committees started having such communication with auditors years ago, and added that good, honest communication helps build trust between the audit committee and the external auditor.
"The more there's the trust, the earlier you see something that could be a problem, and that's what you want," Lego said. "You don't want to wait until there's required communication."
The PCAOB has been developing the standard for more than two years. It was proposed March 29, 2010, and reproposed Dec. 20, 2011, after the PCAOB received feedback from stakeholders.
In crafting AS 16, the PCAOB sought to:
Develop a standard that's scalable to the size and complexity of a company, so less communication would be required of auditors of smaller, less complex companies.
Retain existing communication requirements.
Focus communication on significant matters.

This is the type of vegan fish filet we used for this recipe. Patrik who eat fish when close to the ocean, was surprised about how good they make this vegan fish with considering of both consistence and smell.
Dry the fish file and add salt, pepper and some flour on both sides.

Human beings desire frameworks. The birth of language, both written and spoken, was driven by our need to create a framework for our thoughts, a common scaffolding upon which we can share our ideas, and a way for us to understand each other. Human beings also desire tools. This desire drove the birth of modern technology and global communication networks. We eagerly build these tools, using them to extend and augment ourselves. They allow us to interact with and manipulate the world in ways never before imagined. Our tools and frameworks define how we see ourselves and they define how we see the world as we shape it around us.
New media lives at the intersection of all these tools and frameworks, coalescing as a new language of digital imagery and symbols, a new constellation of technological tools for building global communities and sharing knowledge. But at the end of the day, we are still human beings. We are bound by our biology and our evolutionary roots.
Our minds developed over millennia as we strove to survive in a physical world that was mysterious and challenging, which is of course why we developed such a strong desire to create tools and frameworks in the first place–to help us understand and shape the physical world. This is why the new media of virtual worlds is so compelling.
Immersing ourselves perceptually in virtual world environments initially seems like the ultimate detachment from what it means to be human. It seems like a synthetic imitation, without substance yet simulating substance, our identities embodied as avatars walking across the streets of cities that do not exist. Yet, there is a deep resonance in this perception. We understand virtual worlds as we understand the physical world. We understand the idea of people and places within those worlds. Something ancient in our minds silently clicks into place and our minds begin to interpret the virtual world as real. It feels real and we feel real within it.
Virtual worlds exist today most commonly as video games. They also exist as open-ended creative platforms without predefined goals. As a canvas for new media expression, they provide new opportunities for engaging people in perceptually immersive experiences. New languages for storytelling and artistic expression unfold with new affordances. Advances in technology will only make these virtual worlds more perceptually immersive.
We will eventually be able to lose ourselves in environments that fully engage all of our senses. At some future point in time, we will not be able to tell the difference between the virtual experiences and the physical ones. Distinctions between virtual and real will be meaningless.
In this way, the virtual world metaphor will collapse into a new shared reality. As we approach that point, we will be coming full circle: back to fulfilling our basic human desires to explore, understand, and shape the world around us, back to our needs to explore new worlds with other people, back to what makes us most human.

Friedrich "Fritz" Ruß (alternative Schreibweise Fritz Russ; * 31. März 1864 in Wien, Kaisertum Österreich; † 18. April 1934 in Berlin) war ein österreichischer Theater- und Filmschauspieler beim deutschen Stummfilm.

Leben und Wirken
Ruß stand bereits im Alter von acht Jahren mit Kinderrollen auf der Bühne, in Wiens Theater in der Josefstadt. Noch im selben Jahre 1872 gastierte er mit einer speziellen Kindertruppe erstmals in Deutschland und bereiste Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, München sowie das im k.u.k.-Reich gelegene Prag. Mit 18 Jahren trat Fritz Ruß als Profischauspieler sein erstes Festengagement an und spielte am Wiener Volkstheater an der Seite von Rudolf Schildkraut. Nach zwei Jahren dort wurde er zum Militär eingezogen und diente dort die damals üblichen drei Jahre. In dieser Zeit wurde er auch für Darbietungen an den kaiserlichen Hof abkommandiert und sang vor Kaiser Franz-Joseph und dessen Sohn Kronprinz Rudolf von Habsburg. Als Begleitung konnte Ruß auf Operetten- und Walzerkönig Carl Michael Ziehrer zurückgreifen.

Wieder zurück im Zivilleben, wurde Ruß nach Pressburg (heute: Bratislava) geholt wo er den jungen Max Reinhardt kennen lernte. Schließlich erhielt Fritz Ruß zur Jahrhundertwende sein erstes Berliner Festengagement, das ihn ans Metropol-Theater der deutschen Hauptstadt brachte. Dabei trat er in musikalischen Stücken à la "Die Rose von Stambul" auf und spielte zumeist komische Chargen. Weitere Berliner Theater, an denen Ruß in der Folgezeit wirkte, waren das Trianon-Theater, das Lessing-Theater und das Kleine Theater.

Noch vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg stieß Fritz Ruß zum Film und wurde anfänglich vor allem von Harry Piel besetzt, im Laufe des Ersten Weltkriegs griff auch Franz Hofer auf Russ zurück. 1919 spielte er den Leibfiaker Bratfisch in Rolf Randolfs umstrittenen Mayerling-Film, zu Beginn der 1920er Jahre arbeitete Russ erneut mit Piel zusammen. Mit der Rolle eines Clowns in einem Zirkusdrama beendete Fritz Russ im Winter 1927/28 seine Kinotätigkeit.

CTE and R&DC join hands in transforming researches into publishable outputs
The College of Teacher Education (CTE) in collaboration with the Research and Development Center (R&DC) organized a research capacity-building seminarworkshop on November 10, 2012 at the University of the Cordilleras.
It aims to transform research outputs done by faculty members and non-teaching staff into journal articles ready for publication. This activity is a response to the high demand of research output publications in universities all over the world, thus, a way to enhance the capacity of UC in research. This is in line with the University and &DC's mission to maximize the benefit of the University's scholarly research by advancing fundamental knowledge to improve instruction and access to quality of life.
The seminar-workshop was facilitated by Dr. Constantino D. Ballena from De La Salle University - Dasmariñas. He is the President of the Philippine Association for Graduate Education (PAGE) IV-A Chapter and the Editor of the PAGE IV-A refereed research publication. Dr. Ballena is also being tapped by various HEIs and agencies in the country as a resource speaker discussing about research publications and refereeing, in addition to his engagements in research paper publications and presentations here and abroad.
More than 50 participants from the different colleges attended the RCBA in the university including deans, department heads, faculty members, faculty researchers, and research class teachers. Each of them was enlightened by the information discussed while stimulated their minds in the workshops given. The activity lasted for eight fruitful hours with the discussion of the parts of publishable research journal articles and the corresponding workshop in each topic. The seminar-workshop's aim to provide faculty researchers with the technical-knowhow and guidelines for writing and publishing a research output in a peer-reviewed journal has been attained after the lecture and application.
Despite the participants' call for a better and stronger support from the university regarding the research undertakings, funding, and incentives, faculty researchers are still motivated to push forward in attaining the research and development mission and vision if given the chance and resources. It was also reflected in their sentiments that research can be done through breaking disciplinal boundaries and comfort zones for the aim of developing knowledge. The R&DC then assures of more institutional research capability-building activities to be organized regularly.
Project Guheat: The UC Experience
The Geospatial Assessment and Modelling of Urban Heat Islands in Philippine Cities (Project GUHeat) aims to assess the development of urban heat islands in rapidly urbanizing and highly urbanized cities in the Philippines and develop models for estimating land surface temperatures (LST) and predicting urban heat islands (UHIs) by relating LST with environmental factors including land use - land cover distribution. This project is funded by the Innovation Council (Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, & Emerging Technology Research & Development of DOST (DOST-PCIEERD) and is implemented by the University of the Philippines Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (UP TCAGP).

The e-learning is the use of new multimedia technologies and the Internet to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and services as well as remote exchanges and collaboration. Also we can say that e-learning is an online access to learning resources, anywhere and anytime.
The e-learning has its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: easy and quick accessibility anytime and from anywhere, easier distribution of the course materials, reduced cost of the production and distribution of the course materials, immediate feedback when using online homework, quiz, and testing, self-pacing, the asynchronous way, allows each student (slow or quick) to study at his own pace and speed so it increases satisfaction and reduces stress, e-learning presents different styles and facilitates learning through a variety of activities, easy to join forum discussions anytime, or meeting classmates and instructors remotely in chat rooms, it moves faster because the students can skip activities or materials they already understand and jump to new issues, possibility of communication and interactivity between students and supervisors in online courses.
Disadvantages: e-learning requires technology infrastructure which may not be available (computers, broadband internet connection), it requires computer skills and sometimes files and software management which could be complex for beginner students, some students might get lost or confused about elearning activities, some students might feel lonely and isolated from their instructor and classmates, lack of human contact or face-to-face interaction with the instructor and other classmates, some students may fail due to bad study habits or low motivation.
There is a need to refresh and enrich primary education teaching using occasional e-learning activities to raise and maintain pupils' activities, motivation and interests, to modernize teaching using the contemporary information and communication technologies. To achieve this, however, the teachers should be motivated and able to prepare the online e-learning content.
Even if they aren't familiar with technology and consequently don't feel comfortable with it, each teacher should give it a try to transform teaching and learning as it is worth doing. As a first step you can start by talking to your colleagues who are teaching with technology.
By the application of the e-learning in the primary education the pupils are getting the fundamental and necessary knowledge for their future lifelong learning in this continuously changing world. The e-learning fosters lifelong learning and by its application both the pupils and the teachers are more prepared for their future professional requirements and challenges. The information and communication technology is present in almost every human activity. This fact has to be taken into account and acknowledged also in the primary education using the information and information technology and the Internet as ordinary learning tools. However, this does not mean that every lesson should be done online and/or using information and communication technology. The e-learning should be present as occasional, refreshing, enriching, interesting, and different activity in the processes of teaching and learning.
Before you start using technology, be sure that you really need to use it. After all, our main goal is not to enable our students to use technology but to develop a love of learning and self-direction so that they can ultimately become life-long learners. Therefore, we should plan lessons and activities that would get them excited about learning and encourage them to go out and learn more on their own. Otherwise, using technology for the sake of being a tech-savvy teacher will be a waste of time.
The technology you are using must be in line with the curriculum and your students' learning needs and goals. Therefore, you need to find the best tool that will support your lesson and your students' learning while you are blending technology into your lesson plans.
Make sure the technology you are using supports higher order thinking skills and help you develop a spirit of inquiry and problem solving.
The main focus in education today is about learning, not about technology. All the tools and handbooks mentioned are the means to help us create more exciting, engaging, and ultimately, more effective learning for our students. As teachers we should continuously be learning, implementing, refining, and effectively integrating technology to enrich and extend the curriculum, to enhance and accelerate the types of learning that support the development of our students' proficiency in the era of creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, leadership, and communication.

'West Side Story' First Look: The Jets and The Sharks Strike A Pose
By eelyajekiM | @ | June 17th, 2019 at 1:35 pm
20th Century Fox has released its first look at Steven Spielberg's adaptation of 1957's West Side Story. Based on the Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise film of the same name starring Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer, this latest iteration of the beloved musical, which takes inspiration from Romeo and Juliet, pairs Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler as Tony and Maria, respectively. And now we can have an idea of what to expect from the film just by looking at the setting and costume design. Check out the official image here below.

Steven Spielberg's 'West Side Story' Finds Its Maria In NJ High School Student Rachel Zegler
Steven Spielberg's West Side Story has found its actress to play Maria opposite Ansel Elgort's Tony.
It's been confirmed that New Jersey high school student Rachel Zegler will be playing the iconic role of Maria, the love interest of Tony, who is a member of a rival street gang. Natalie Wood played Maria in the 1961 original. The film was ahead of its time and one of the few to feature a richly diverse cast that had people of color in lead roles. It was one that helped Rita Moreno, who played Anita in the original and has a role in this new take on the story, to become the iconic figure that she is now.
Obviously with a film like West Side Story, any talent that is brought into the film will need to be able to sing. And before you question whether or not Zegler can sing, I suggest you take a look at the video of her singing a cover of "Shallows" from A Star Is Born. It left me floored. Check out who will be joining Zegler on the cast and the video, below.

Priests Martyred during the Cristero War who were Members of the Knights of Columbus
Leave a comment June 18, 2019 Larry Peterson
Cristero War Priest executed www.hereodote.net
The Cristero War in Mexico is counted among the darkest times in the history of that nation. More than 90,000 Mexicans lost their lives; almost 57,000 died under government authority and more than 30,000 Cristeros, including the thousands that supported them.
On May 21, 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized 25 saints and martyrs who died in that war. Most of them were Catholic priests including six who were members of the Knights of Columbus. Among the Cristeros, there were more than 70 members of the Knights of Columbus who died fighting for their faith and freedom during the Cristero War. What follows is a short history of three of the priests.
Saint Jose Maria Robles Hurtado; He was born in 1888, entered the seminary at the age of twelve, and was ordained a priest in 1913. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus; Council #1979 (council inactive).
St. Jose loved being a priest and used his exceptional writing skills to create pamphlets and lesson books about Jesus and His Sacred Heart. He had such devotion to the Sacred Heart that some referred to him as the "Madman of the Sacred Heart."
In 1923, Father Robles Hurtado organized thousands of Catholics and had them come to central Mexico to erect a giant cross in honor of Jesus. The cornerstone was placed, but the government stopped any further action. When President Calles came to power in 1924, he already knew of the "Madman—" and was not about to have any of his "anti-government" influence affecting the people.
Father Hurtado was leading a family in prayer at their home when soldiers kicked down the door and arrested him for 'violating the law." The date was June 25, 1927. He was immediately sentenced to be hanged. The next morning, standing under an oak tree, Father Jose Robles Hurtado graciously placed the rope around his own neck so no one else would feel responsible. He forgave his executioners, and then he was hanged. Most of the soldiers wept as he died.
Saint Mateo Correa Magallanes: Father Correa Magallanes was born in Tepechitian, Mexico on July 23, 1866. He attended seminary at Zacatecas and was ordained a priest in 1893. He was a member of Knights of Columbus Council #2140 in Zacatecas.
In 1927, Father Correa was arrested by soldiers as he was bringing Holy Viaticum to an invalid woman. When he saw the soldiers coming, he immediately consumed the consecrated Host to avoid it being desecrated. He was taken to a nearby jail.
Several days had passed when an officer, General Eulogio Ortiz, gave the priest permission to hear the confessions of the prisoners. Father Correa gladly did this. When he was finished, he was taken into a room, and the general demanded that he tell them what the prisoners had told him or die. Father Correa adamantly refused. He said, "You may do so, but you ignore the fact, General, that a priest must keep the secret of confession. I am ready to die."
The next morning he was taken to a nearby cemetery and shot to death.
Saint Rodrigo Aguilar Aleman: Father Rodrigo was born in Sayaulo, Jalisco, on February 13, 1875. He studied for the priesthood at the Seminary of Zapotlan el Grande and was ordained a priest on January 4, 1903. He was a member of Knights of Columbus Council #2330 in Guzman, Mexico.
On October 27, 1927, a large contingent of soldiers arrived in the town of Ejutla. They were led by the feared general, Juan Izaguirre. Word of their arrival had given the seminarians time to flee. Father Rodrigo stayed behind to burn all seminarian records so the soldiers would not find them. He was captured by the soldiers. When asked who he was, he said forcefully and without hesitation, "I am a priest."
General Izaguiree wanted to make an example of Father Rodrigo, so he ordered him hanged in the central square of Ejutla He was led to a large mango tree, but Father Rodrigo took charge. He blessed the rope that would be used to hang him. Then he pardoned his executioners and the other soldiers. One of them asked him to answer the question, "Long live who?"
They wanted him to say, "Long live the Supreme Government." This would save his life. He did not hesitate with his response. He quickly said, "Long live Christ the King and Our Lady of Guadalupe." They pulled him up and lowered him asking him again. He gave the same answer. The third time, now barely able to speak, he gave the same answer. This time he was left hanging and died.
These saints are a shining example for all of us, and we pray that we might display the same courage they did if ever faced with injury or death because of our precious faith.

Are you a Will County, IL parent who is getting divorced or splitting up with your partner? If so, you need to protect your child custody rights. Whether you are separating on amicable terms, or ending a very difficult and contentious relationship, it is imperative that you have a skilled legal representative by your side.
At the law office of Demetrios N. Dalmares & Associates, Ltd., our top-rated Frankfort child custody lawyers have deep experience serving Illinois parents in a wide range of child custody and visitation cases. If you need legal advice, please reach out to our team today for immediate assistance with your case.
While still frequently used colloquially, the term 'child custody' has been phased out of official proceedings in Illinois. Instead, the state refers to custody and visitation issues as the 'allocation of parental responsibilities'. Illinois strongly favors joint custody and shared parenting whenever it is possible. Though, there are certainly still cases in which sole custody can be awarded.
Recent Illinois reforms also require divorcing parents to create a workable 'parenting plan'. This plan is a legally binding agreement that outlines each party's legal rights and responsibilities, and that deals with some general logistical issues. You need a parenting plan that best protects your interests. Our experienced Frankfort, IL child custody lawyers are ready to help you craft the ideal parenting plan.
As a parent, your wishes come second. To get the best possible results in your child custody case, you and your Frankfort family law attorney will need to build a strong case that demonstrates that you can provide the healthiest environment for your child. If you can prove that your desired custody & visitation arrangement is best for your kids, you will be able to prevail in your dispute.

Just received an email from cromb@tpg.com.au telling me that my emails have been archived 'due to subsequent verification failure'. Is this genuine? Is that a TPG person?
...and now a few minutes later, the same thing purporting to be from 'gndoug75@tpg.com.au!
We have had a few reports of these emails in the last 24 hours.
Please ignore these email's as TPG as a company would not ask for these customer details out of the blue.
I will try and get an example email so i can post in the community to make people aware.
Thanks for your reply. I suspected as much. I did not click on any link, so did not see any request for details. But these were odd because they appeared to use genuine tpg customer addresses, (but not 'support@' although they said support).
I have similar ones. If you read the body of the text, the poor use of English gives it away. Also at the bottom it is usually signed dtp or something like that. The fact that it has a name then @tpg.com.au is a give away. TPG don't use names in their emails.
