Gordis 22 – The State of Israel in the Summer of 2020
August 20, 2021 Episodetribetalkconnection
Dr. Daniel Gordis explores whether the clock is ticking away on a two state solution, the meaning of settlements, and the Israeli relationship with American Jews. He discusses why it is important to have a basic understanding of Israeli history to be able to form an opinion and why Israel should be held accountable to the same standards to which the world holds every other country.

Gordis 21 – The Obama and Trump Years
Dr. Daniel Gordis examines Israel's relationship with President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump and the Middle East events that shaped those relationships. He explores then Secretary of State John Kerry's attempt at peace during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge, the U.S. negotiated Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran, Netanyahu's address to the joint session of Congress and Israeli thoughts about it all. Dr. Gordis also discusses President Trump's moving of the U.S. embassy, recognition of Israel's annexation of the Golan, the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA, its withdrawal from Syria, its refusal to respond to Iranian attacks on the Saudi oil fields and its failed peace plan.
Gordis 20 – Israel in the late 1990's and early 2000's
Dr. Daniel Gordis examines the tumultuous events of Israel's political history of the early 2000's. This time period includes the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon and moving to the Camp David peace talks with President Bill Clinton, the four years of the second intifada, construction of the security wall, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza and the election of Hamas.
Gordis 19 – Inside Israeli Society By 1980's and 90's
Dr. Daniel Gordis explores the rebirth of the Jewish people in Israel. He examines the status of womens' rights, Mizrahi rights, and LGBTQ+ rights. He also discusses the role of the ultra orthodox in Israeli society, the renaissance of Jewish thought, the explosion of Jewish literature and theatre as seen through its books and television shows.
Gordis 18 – Beginnings of the Palestinian Peace Process
Beginning in 1974, with Arafat's "olive branch and gun" speech to the United Nations and its "zionism is racism" 1975 resolution, Israel began to understand its position on the world stage. Dr. Daniel Gordis examines the Palestinian peace process from all angles including the creation of Hamas, Jordan renouncing its claim to the west bank, the first intifada, the Oslo Accords, the 1994 peace treaty with Jordan and the1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin.
Gordis 17 – The Decade after the Yom Kippur War
Dr. Daniel Gordis explores the myriad changes that occur in Israel during the decade following the Yom Kippur War. From the resignation of Golda Meir, to the rise of the Likud party, peace with Egypt, the prevention of a nuclear reactor in Iraq to the Lebanon war. Dr. Gordis examines how these events impact the country.
Gordis 16 – Israel Post-1967 War through Yom Kippur War
Dr. Daniel Gordis explores the six year period between June 1967 and October 1973 and the false sense of security and confidence felt by members of the young state. He also discusses the 1973 Yom Kippur War, poses the question of who actually wins the war? Despite winning militarily, does Israel lose spiritually? To this very day, has Israel recovered from the Yom Kippur War?
Gordis 15 – The 1967 War
Dr. Daniel Gordis explores the concept of pan-Arabism, the 1967 war and the factors that cause Israel to begin to look like the modern day Israel we know today. Dr. Gordis discusses the events leading to the war, including the input of the British, French and Americans, as well as the six days of the war, and the results of that war. Finally, he touches on the 1987 debate as to whether to return captured land and the resulting burden of having "occupied" land that exists to this day.
Gordis 14 – Israel in the Early 1960's
The 1960's in Israel begin with the arrest and capture of the notorious Nazi, Adolf Eichman. In this episode, Dr. Daniel Gordis explores how Eichman's trial affected the Israeli people and the Jewish community as a whole as well as the American Jewish leaders' response to this. The 1960's also brought Israel's development of nuclear capabilities, and in 1964, the creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) for the purpose of the destruction of the Jewish State.
Gordis 13 – Israel's Foreign Policy in the 1950's
In the early 1950's, a newly independent Israel found itself with porous borders in which there were tens of thousands of cross border incursions each year. In this episode, Dr. Daniel Gordis explores how this, along with the Sinai campaign of 1956, influenced Israel's foreign policy with respect to its Arab neighbors, as well as the psyche of the Israeli people at that time.

More Secrets
November 11, 2012 Yolande Brener
© Alexis Percival, from Unwrapped Series
When I offered to model for Alexis Percival's Unwrapped series last year, I hardly knew her. But I had seen some pictures from the series at a group show in Harlem and their simple elegance drew me to the wall.
I wanted to know more about Alexis's work and I thought that modeling for her would be a good way. As she offered me a glass of wine and Ricky, her fluffy cat, purred around my ankles, I felt that posing and revealing my secret was as natural as sharing a pot of tea.
"At the outset I didn't ask my friends to do it," said Alexis, "because I didn't think they'd want to reveal their secrets to a friend, but actually I know everyone in the project with the exception of a handful and most of them became friends later."
The photographs show people peeling bandages away from sections of their uncovered skin. The words on the bandages reveal a different secret for each person.
"I used bandages because I anticipated it being something that could be a wound," said Alexis, "perhaps more painful secrets than a lot of them have been."
"The models don't have to be naked," said Alexis. "A lot of people don't understand that. I don't choose the secret and I don't choose the body part."
One of the models is Alexis's mother.
"When she [my mother] arrived for the shoot, she just took off all her clothes and said, whatever you need. The models have come in prepared and they're generally very open."
Alexis doesn't feature in the series herself because, "I definitely do [have secrets], but I'm not sharing them here. That's not because I don't want to reveal anything about myself in my photography. A lot of my earlier photographs featured me. I saw this as a marker of my evolution."
So far most of the models are women, but Alexis is starting to photograph more men for the project. I asked whether she thought men would be more reticent about revealing their secrets.
"Some people are more secretive than others, men or women," she said. "Just because someone decides to participate does not mean they have decided to really share a true secret."
These works and others will be for sale at Asali Yoga's art show and reception on December 14th.
If you would like to participate in the Unwrapped Series, please contact Alexis Percival at alexis@apercival.com.

St George Coptic Orthodox Church (Coptic:  // transliteration: ti.eklyseya en.remenkimi en.orthodoxos ente fi.ethowab Gewargios) is one of the oldest Coptic Orthodox churches in North America. It is one of over 200 Coptic Orthodox Churches in the United States.

History
St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Brooklyn, New York, was founded as the second Coptic parish in New York City, and was incorporated by 1973 with only 60 families at the time. The first one was actually St. Mary & St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church in Ridgewood, Queens, and, like St. George Church, there were many others to follow. Somewhat farther east, in Long Island, St. Abraam Coptic Orthodox Church was founded by the late 70's to serve the congregation in that region. However, one of the more prominent parishes that was recently founded is St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church, the first Coptic church that was established in densely populated borough of Manhattan.

Although St. George Church was officially established as of 1973, the first liturgy was actually celebrated on December 31, 1972, after the current building was bought from the American Baptist Church.

Priests
Fr. Mina K. Yanni served as priest for St. George Church from its early foundations until the present. Pope Shenouda III elevated Fr. Mina to the rank of Archpriest on August 16, 1978. Two other priests were eventually ordained and serve St. George Church alongside Fr. Mina. Fr. Armia Taofiles, who has served since Nov. 2000, as well as Fr. Luke Awad, who became priest as of 2005, and Father Gabriel Assad that was ordained in 2015 and is the 4th priest in this church. In January 2018, Fr. Armia was elevated to the rank of Archpriest. In February 2018, both Fr. Michael Dosse and Fr. Samwel Hanna were then ordained to be the fifth and sixth priests of this church. There have been pastors at St. George Church up until the present.

Expansion
Even as St. George Church mainly served those who settled in Brooklyn, other areas were outreached over the years. Surrounding areas in New York's other boroughs as well as some parts of New Jersey were outreached until churches were built there.

The building at the eastern corner of 11th Avenue and 67th Street in Dyker Heights, being one of the few structures in North America that was bought by the Copts from the beginning of the congregation's establishment, was expanded and redeveloped multiple times:

The first expansion occurred in 1984, when a new church was built bearing the name of Saint Mina the Miracle Worker. It was established with a seating capacity of about 40 people.
The second expansion occurred in 1986 to increase the seating capacity of St. George Church from 180 to 250.
The third expansion started out in 1996, when new Sunday School classes were built in the traditional Coptic style. This expansion was much larger than the first one and took longer to finish.
The project was completed by 1998 to further increase the capacity for 500 people and also to make some other additions.

Publications
St. George Church published many of the first Coptic Orthodox publications in North America. These publications include the Coptic Calendar, launched in 1977, as well as the first Agpeya that was translated into English (using the original Coptic texts). Several of Pope Shenouda's books, lectures, and sermons were republished by the church and sent to various places.

On March 20, 1994 the Virgin Mary was said to have blessed St. George Church by seeping holy oil from one of her icons. A special place was constructed for this icon in the church building, which is visited by many Copts and non-Copts as well.

Today
Pope Shenouda III visited the congregation three times before its consecration on April 14, 1977, second on April 20, 1989 and on March 12, 1992. Pope Shenouda eventually consecrated the church on Sunday, September 6, 1998.

There are currently over 600 Coptic families served by St. George's Church alone with several others belonging to other Coptic Orthodox congregations throughout New York.

Defining phenotype
Having divided the formation of the phenotype into a patterning node and non-heritable nodes, I want to spend some time discussing what is and isn't part of the phenotype.
The phenotype is the interface of an object with its environment. Everything, even rocks, have a phenotype. It is probably useful to use a somewhat philosophical concept of the "phenotype" being the sum of all aspects of the organism that interacts with the environment, or conceptually a gestalt concept of the totality of the organism's appearance behavior and physiology.
Such a concept of phenotype is not particularly useful, thus, it is convenient to divide the phenotype into "characters" or "traits" (I will use the two more or less interchangeably). A trait is a measurable aspect of the phenotype that is of interest to us. Thus, for example, many flowers have ultraviolet nectar guides that attract pollinators. Humans were unable to detect ultraviolet radiation until it was discovered by Johann Ritter in 1801 (http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/classroom_activities/ritter_bio.html). Basically, the distinction I am making between phenotype and trait means that nectar guides were always part of the phenotype of flowers, but didn't become traits until 1801, when humans were able to detect them. Finally, given that a trait is a particular measurable aspect of the phenotype, I will use the term "trait state" (or character state) to refer to the value that a given individual has for a particular trait. Thus, for the trait "height" my trait state is five feet five inches.
Aspects of the phenotype obviously include those traits that are of interest to evolutionary biologists, such as body weight, running speed, amylase activity, foraging behavior, but also traits that are generally not of interest because they are ephemeral, or have little chance of being heritable. Examples of the latter would include such things as the time since the last meal, what that meal was, tattoos, and other body art, and the color clothes a person wears. We don't normally think of these as "traits"; however, an important aspect of the phenotype are non-heritable changes, such as adding a person tattoo, or whether or not a lizard has lost its tail.
My definition of evolution is about the gain and loss of individuals. This raises an issue about traits that change over time. Many of these traits will be of trivial interest. For example whether you are inhaling or exhaling would seem to be part, if perhaps an uninteresting part, of your phenotype at any given moment. On the other hand, weight is clearly part of the phenotype of an organism, and it can fluctuate with development and time. The question is how to deal with traits that change, whether slowly or quickly. My own solution, and maybe other have a different solution, is to think of an individual's phenotype as a vector through time. In this view every trait has two values, the trait value, and the age at which the trait was measured. Thus, we could measure body weight at age 6, 18, and 32. These would all presumably be different. We could also number of fingers on the left hand, and discover that in nearly all cases this was constant. In the finger number example, while the time element is technically there, there is little reason to keep track of it.
When I talk about multilevel selection it will also be useful to think of the phenotype as including some aspects of the social environment. For example, there will be times when the size of the group an individual experiences can be treated as a trait of the individual. This is best left for a later discussion, briefly, however, these supra-individual level traits will be useful to consider when features of the group affects an individual's fitness
It is worth discussing genes at this point as an example of what is and isn't part of the phenotype. In particular, genes actually have three more or less independent functions.
First, they are passed from parent to offspring, and they carry with them information. This is traditionally what one thinks of when referring casually to genes. Basically genes are units of heritable information that is passed vertically between generations. It is worth noting that as we have gotten a better handle on the structure of the genome, the concept of what a gene really is has become less clear. That is, a gene is a strip of DNA, but it may be DNA that is transcribed and translated into a protein, DNA that is transcribed into the many of the various RNA's without being translated into a protein, or it might be one of the many controlling elements. For our purposes it really doesn't matter, the first function is that it is information that is passed from parent to offspring.
Second, genes are part of the patterning node, and as such they participate in the formation of the phenotype. This is a distinct function from the inheritance aspect, a point that is made very obvious by the single celled Prtotist, Paramecium. Paramecium have two nuclei, a micronucleus and a macronucleus. Briefly, the micronucleus is reserved for reproduction, and is only used for transmitting information when the cell divides. On the other hand, the macronucleus has multiple copies of the genome, and functions in protein synthesis and the management of the cell. In animals we have only a single nucleus that functions both for information transfer and protein synthesis; however, even here there are cells that become "polytene" meaning that they have multiple copies of the genome. These tend to be cells that will no longer divide, but have a heavy protein synthesis load, such as salivary gland cells in Drosophila, and liver cells in humans.
Figure: Drawing of a Paramecium (http://www.flickr.com/photos/worldworldworld/4095866648/sizes/o/in/photostream/). The micro nucleus, which divides when the cell divides, transmits information between the mother and daughter cell. The macronucleus has multiple copies of the genome and produces the proteins and RNA that interact with the environment to produce the phenotype.
The third aspect of genes is that they are part of the phenotype. That is, they are traits of an individual since they have a sequence, and a position in the chromosome. As such they have to be considered part of the phenotype. For example, there are circumstances in which we might want to identify and select animals with a particular allele at a particular locus. In this case we are in fact selecting for those animals that have the trait state of having the desired gene sequence at the locus of interest. Typically we are selecting for individuals with certain alleles because we hope it will have a desired effect on some other trait; however, this is correctly viewed as a "correlated response to selection". That is, we are selecting individuals with the desired gene sequence, and the phenotype changes because it is correlated with the genic phenotype. (I have not talked about it, so this has to remain an aside; however, notice that even in this case selection is on individuals, not genes. With the exception of transposable elements I have not been able to come up with a single example that can legitimately be called "genic selection". I will talk about this when I discuss selection.)
Thus, in summary, the gene sequence, and corollaries such as the location of a band on a gel, can be considered to be part of the phenotype. The information that the gene carries, and its function in the patterning node in creating other characteristics of the organism is not part of the phenotype.

Premier League: Is Chelsea Champions Elect?
Author: Raphael Minter
The English #Premier League took a different twist on matchday 24 after leaders Chelsea humiliated Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in a 3-1 score line thanks to goals from Marcos Alonso, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas with Olivier Giroud bagging a consolation later in the game.
This was a game of much importance to Arsenal and a win would have undoubtedly cut the lead to six points and could have given Arsene Wenger and his charges the much needed boost for the rest of the month of February as matches in the Champions League are fast approaching.
With Chelsea's dominance and no European matches on the cards, is Conte's men Champions elect?
When Antonio Conte brought in his favored 3-4-3 formation in September after being whitewashed against Arsenal at the Emirates stadium, many people doubted if he can survive with this formation in the Premier League. Fast forward four months later and Conte leads the Premier League with a huge margin of nine points with the second placed team not the traditional Arsenal, Manchester United or Manchester City but Tottenham Hotspur - a team that finished third in the 2015/16 Premier League season.
Chelsea played two matches in just five days against Liverpool and Arsenal and was able to come out with four points out of six whiles' title chasers Liverpool and Arsenal lost five and six points respectively. This was a week where football fans thought Chelsea would have slipped up for other teams to close the gap so that the league would have been more competitive heading into the latter part of the Premier League soon but none of them came to fruition.
Premier League: Is Chelsea's title to lose after Liverpool's inconsistency and Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City's European ambitions
Chelsea has been the Leicester City of last season because of non-participation in any European competition. Whiles Arsenal has an eye on Bayern Munich's performance in the German Bundesliga and Pep Guardiola travels to watch Monaco play Paris Saint Germain at Parc de Princes whiles Mourinho fights for consistency in the Premier League with a quest to winning his second UEFA Cup with a game against Saint Etienne in mind, Conte has nothing to aim for and waits for the FA Cup to resume.
Luck has been on Chelsea's side and players such as Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante has carried the team on their shoulders. With the psychological turmoil of being eliminated from European competitions looming for competing teams and Liverpool's lack of consistency, Chelsea are champions-elect and it would only take a miracle for Conte and his men to lose their grip in the chase for the title.

The vet tech schools in Arizona offer a good beginning for a rewarding future for students who love animals and are interested in animal health. Veterinary technician schools prepare students to take careers in the animal health industry and train them to find work in animal clinics. Veterinary technicians work under the veterinarians just like nurses who work with doctors. They perform duties ranging from filling prescriptions to assisting in surgeries. There is a high demand for vet techs and naturally there is a demand for the schools offering these programs. In Arizona you have several options to do your vet tech program.
Before enrolling for a vet tech program, you should try your hand by working for a veterinarian. You should see what a vet tech does and whether you will enjoy that career. You can try working at a zoo, farm, small animal practice and emergency hospital.
Choose a school and submit an application. The Arizona state allows you to apply if you have completed a two-year degree program or if you have worked as a veterinary assistant for two years. Veterinary assistants bathe, feed and medicate animals under the supervision of veterinarians or veterinary technicians.
Take the test: You are expected to take and clear the veterinary technician exam that is given twice a year by the Arizona Medical Examining Board.
After getting the certificate, you can find a job as a vet tech.
In order to maintain your certification, the Arizona law requires you to be of good moral character. You may jeopardize your certification if you use drugs, drink, steal or if you are incompetent.
Laboratory work like collecting tissue and blood samples, and taking x-rays.
Assisting licensed veterinarians to perform animal surgeries.
These advanced topics are generally covered in associate and bachelor's degree programs.
You can be employed as a vet tech in Arizona only if you have obtained a certificate from one of the vet tech schools in Arizona. You are expected to take and clear the test, and obtain the certificate given by Arizona Medical Examining Board.
The interactive chart above is a visual representation of the annual salary of Arizona veterinary technicians compared to the national annual salaries, all based on the latest May 2013 Occupational Employment Statistics figures released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
By combining your love of animals with what you do for a living, you not only enrich the quality of your life, you also have a positive impact on the lives of animals.

A common programming interface for multiple types of document processing systems. An object interface is defined that includes properties, methods, and events that are applicable to multiple types of document processing systems. For a particular document processing system of a particular type, an instance of the object interface is established, and an application program controls overall operations of the document processing system by setting values of properties in the object interface, invoking methods in the object interface, and responding to events reported via the object interface. System specific track drivers handle system specific interface requirements and interact with an application program via an instance of the object interface. The single application programming interface promotes ease of development for application programs and some reuse of code.

Move Closer An Intimate Philosophy of Art
By John Armstrong
A bridge to the satisfactions available in the art gallery.
Arts Review by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
The seasoned art critic speaks in reverent terms of the painting or sculpture that draws out his praise. Or she condemns a piece of art as derivative or visually appalling. But what of the ordinary person? What kinds of satisfaction are available in the art gallery? This is the question at the heart of this salutary book by John Armstrong, director of the Aesthetic Programme of the School for Advanced Study at the University of London. "Art matters," he writes, "in virtue of the kind of experience it invites the spectator into."
Armstrong believes there are certain qualities or powers that we can all draw upon to move closer to painting and architecture. In his creative assessments of three dozen works, including a church in Rome, a row of Gothic arches, Henri Matisse's "Draped Nude," and James Abbott McNeill Whistler's "Nocturne in Blue and Gold: Old Battersea Bridge," he spells out the uses of affection, analysis, memory, and contemplation.
One of the most important faculties we can call upon in our appreciation of art is reverie, which Armstrong defines as "a mode of introducing personal material into a picture or a building; it brings an abundance of thoughts and feelings into play. It also forces us from merely following routine assumptions." We can also use our imagination to see the variety of ways things have been put together.
By far the most helpful suggestion in this intimate philosophy of art is Armstrong's delineation of the process of perceptual contemplation of an object — noticing details, seeing relations between parts, seeing the whole as the whole, the lingering caress, and mutual absorption. Move Closer is a user-friendly resource for anyone who wants to move beyond just staring at a work of art.

"By your endurance you will gain your lives" (v19). Jesus taught that the value of our lives extends far beyond our years on earth. Everything that is given to God, everything that is redeemable by Christ, will be saved (v28-26); the rest will perish. This perspective changes what we invest in, how we work, what we care about, and how we face persecution or suffering. The "poor widow" gave everything she had because her heart was guided by the eternal values of the kingdom of God (v4).
"This will be your opportunity to bear witness" (v13). If our hearts are set on Christ, everything we say and do bears witness to Him.


Over the last 5 days, immigration officials conducted sweeps in Reno and Las Vegas, detaining 87 immigrants identified as threats to public safety. Most of the immigrants, who come from at least 9 different countries, have been charged with several criminal offenses, while those with outstanding deportation orders or have a history of illegal entry are reportedly to be removed immediately.
For those not facing criminal charges, they are set to appear in an immigration court and process for administrative removal.
The mass arrests come in the wake of widespread deportation raids that commenced during the start of the year. Naturally, these sweeps didn't sit well with immigration activists, who have criticized the Obama administration for unfairly targeting undocumented immigrants.
Meanwhile, President Obama announced last week that immigration officials would conduct another round of deportation raids that would run for 30 days.
Of the 22 immigrant detainees arrested in Reno, many of whom whose have not been disclosed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of privacy laws, include a 33-year-old Mexican native with a checkered history of drug trafficking, DUI, and domestic violence. Another Mexican national, age 19, was found to have a history of robbery and resisting arrest.
On the other hand, authorities have released the identities of 3 detainees in Las Vegas, one of whom is a Mexican national, age 55, with a history of moving and pushing heroin. Another is also a Mexican national, age 57, who was sentenced to 4 to 10 years of prison for lewdness with a child under 14. Lastly, authorities arrested a Salvador national, age 47, with several prior convictions, such as a statutory sexual seduction conviction.
Immigration officials have been operating under a direct order from the White House to apprehend immigrants with a history of violence and criminal charges since at least 2014. That same year, President Obama announced an executive order that would extend deportation relief to undocumented immigrant parents, whose children have attained citizenship or permanent legal resident status.
At the same time, Secretary Jeh Johnson of the Department of Homeland Security issued a memo stating the agency's priorities were immigrants who posed a threat to public safety, as well as border and national security.

Prognostic value of urinary protein in primary systemic amyloidosis (AL).
Dysproteinemia Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota 55905.
In 153 patients with biopsy-proven primary systemic amyloidosis (AL), serum creatinine level correlated with median survival (creatinine less than or equal to 115 mumol/L [1.3 mg/dL], 2.56 months; creatinine greater than 115 mumol/L [1.3 mg/dL], 14.9 months; P = 0.007). The 24-hour urine total protein excretion was not correlated with survival. Patients who excreted monoclonal lambda light chains in the urine had an inferior survival (12 months) compared with those with kappa (30 months) or no monoclonal protein (35 months) in the urine (P = 0.01). The presence of lambda monoclonal protein was not associated with a higher median creatinine level. A monoclonal protein was detected in the urine in 76% of patients; when patients with more than 1 g of protein in the urine were studied, however, a monoclonal protein was detectable in 86%. The overall kappa-lambda ratio was 1:2.56, but as the urinary protein loss increased, the kappa-lambda ratio shifted to 1:4.7 for those with more than 3 g of protein in the urine.

Home H.I.M. Advice Teaching of His Imperial Majesty | Call to the People
Teaching of His Imperial Majesty | Call to the People
In connection with these achievements, when we enquire into the origins of the attempt of man to utilize this knowledge and go beyond these to extend the directions of his enquiry without limit, we find the reason for all these to be the desire of man to be diligent and to widen the horizon of his knowledge.
The present high standard of development has been achieved through the accumulation of knowledge from time immemorial. We would like Our people to realize that this is not something that has been accomplished at one stage nor by coincidence, nor has this stage been reached in one generation, but is the result of the toil, fortitude and sacrifices of succeeding generations. We have been prompted to refer briefly to the history of civilization because it is Our constant endeavor that all Ethiopians, in their attempt to satisfy their material needs, to invigorate their energy, eradicate idleness and generate an unceasing desire for better and more things, shall elevate their standard of living to that of the people inhabiting other parts of the world and be able to spare for others. It is a fact that the knowledge and wealth that We had inherited from our ancestors which has been plundered and lost, could be excavated and discovered. But what we possess today has been initiated and established in Our lifetime.
As We hold Our people in great affection so do they entertain great feelings of affection towards Us. As a father should bequeath not only wealth to his children but also provide them with proper education so that they may have a richer and fuller life, so should it be the duty of those for whom much has been done to show gratitude. Therefore, let us unite Our efforts to show in deeds what We profess in words. Aug. 29, 1959

There are fresh new exhibits to explore in the galleries at Tucson International Airport.
Photographer Patricia Katchur and multi-media sculptor Tim Diggles share the Upper Link Gallery, adjacent to the Frontier Airlines ticket counter, through February 18, 2011.
In the Lower Link Gallery, adjacent to bag belt #7, you'll find Dreamscapes, which includes encaustic paintings by Karon Leigh, ceramic sculpture by Philip Bellomo, and abstract paintings by Mishcka O'Connor. This show continues through February 11, 2011.
Read about the artists and see more of their work on the Tucson International Airport website.
And while you're at Tucson Airport, be sure to look around for other temporary exhibits and all the great permanent art in the airport, including this great piece by John Davis titled Closet Under the Stairs.
If you happen to be traveling to or through Tucson International Airport (TUS) anytime soon, make sure to build in some extra time to see the art.
Work by more than 40 regional artists is scattered throughout the airport and there are three galleries that display temporary exhibits.
Two new exhibits recently opened.
In the airport's Center Gallery, Diana Creighton's whimsical oil paintings from her Animal World Series are on exhibit through March 31. Many of these paintings feature anthropomorphic animals and humans just going about everyday business.
The second new exhibit (on display next to the Security B checkpoint through May 31, 2010) is work by Anne Simmons-Myers. The landscape photographs of Japan and Sri Lanka are from her series Prior Vision.
An expert in 'alternative processes,' the 19th and early 20th century methods of making photographs, Simmons-Myers combines the old with the new by abrading, over painting and burnishing straight digital photographs.
Look here for more information about the current exhibits on display at Tucson International Airport. And if you see some great art at an airport, let us know so we can tell others.
From now through the end of December, 2009, the Center Gallery at Tucson International Airport (TUS) is featuring Lines.Space.Color, enamel paintings and sculpture by Tucson artist Steven Derks.
The exhibit includes two of Derks' steel sculptures made of items he's rescued from junkyards and scrap metal bins and Gridspace (below) made of 52 12" by 12" panels.
There's plenty of other art around Tucson International Airport: in addition to several other temporary exhibit spaces, the airport owns more than 40 permanent works by area artists.
To see what's there – and what's where – download one of the airport's brand new art brochures.
The newest art exhibit at Tucscon International Airport (TUS) is called Mystical Journey and features the work of three Tucson painters: Sue Betanzos, Catherine Eyde, and Janet Miller.
These works, and others, are on display in the Upper Link Gallery at Tucson International Airport. Enjoy!

La Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira 1991 è stata la 13ª edizione di tale edizione, l'annuale incontro di apertura della stagione calcistica portoghese che vede di fronte i vincitori della Primeira Divisão della stagione precedente e della Taça de Portugal (o la finalista di quest'ultima in caso il vincitore di campionato e coppa coincidano).

Nella Supercoppa del 1991 si affrontarono il Benfica (campione della Primeira Divisão 1990-91) e il Porto, detentore della Taça de Portugal.

L'incontro di andata, giocatosi allo stadio da Luz del Benfica, vede i padroni di casa imporsi 2-1. Nel ritorno allo Stadio das Antas il Porto vince 1-0 e costringe le due squadre a giocarsi la partita di ripetizione in campo neutro.

Il match decisivo, disputato il 9 settembre 1992 sul campo neutro dello Stadio Città di Coimbra, vede vincere il Porto 4-3 ai calci di rigore. Per i Dragões si tratta del sesto successo in Supercoppa.

How To Stream The 2017 SAG Awards
If you feel like there's an awards show happening every week then your feelings are correct because it's awards season (aka the best time of the year). With the Golden Globes and People Choice Awards now out of the way, it's on to the Screen Actors Guild Awards. This year the event will be airing live on Sunday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. ET on both TBS and TNT. However, if you don't have a TV at your disposable, here's how to stream the 2017 SAG Awards so you don't miss a moment of all the fun.
Both TBS and TNT have a live-stream for their channel's programming so all you have to do is tune into either one of their sites at the start of the SAG Awards and you're all set. Unfortunately, as is the case for most channels' live-stream services, you will need a cable subscription to log in to watch. If you don't have a cable subscription or access to someone's that you can borrow, there sadly doesn't seem to be any other way to live-stream the event, so it may be time to start making friends with someone who has TV. You definitely won't want to miss out on this year's SAG Awards. All the stars will be out for this one and Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton will be presenting comedian and respected actress, Lily Tomlin, with the SAG Life Achievement Award for her outstanding achievements in entertainment along with her humanitarian efforts. Also, it's always just a really fun night.
Similar to the Golden Globes, the SAG awards gives 13 awards in both film and television and two SAG Awards Honors for Stunt Ensembles. Nominees for film include Ryan Gosling, Andrew Garfield, Denzel Washington, Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Natalie Portman, Emma Stone, Mahershala Ali, Dev Patel, Viola Davis, and Octavia Spencer. In television, nominees include the likes of Sterling K. Brown, Peter Dinklage, Rami Malek, Millie Bobby Brown, Claire Foy, Winona Ryder, Tituss Burgess, Anthony Anderson, Jeffrey Tambor, Ellie Kemper, Uzo Aduba, and Courtney B. Vance.
Unsurprisingly the Oscar nominees are leading the pack with multiple nominations for Manchester by the Sea, Fences, and Moonlight. Netflix snagged a decent amount of nominations as well for The Crown, House of Cards, and Stranger Things. HBO also grabbed a few for Westworld and Game of Thrones, while The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story continues to dominate every awards show.
Fans will definitely want to tune in to see who walks away with the awards this year, so if you can't stream it just make sure you find another way to watch and fast. This is a night you won't want to miss.

Q: SSH-Key not recognized "receive packet: type 51" in Gitlab-CE In my installation of Gitlab Community Edition 14.8.2, clone/push/etc.-actions do not work via SSH. The same actions via HTTPS work as usual. Also SSH actions on gitlab.com work as usual. Multiple users, whose SSH-keys worked a few weeks ago have this problem.
Users log in via LDAP. The server runs Ubuntu 20.04.
Gitlab Docs recommend ssh -Tvvv git@example.com. When I do this for my own domain, I get this:
[...]
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering public key: /home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519 ED25519 SHA256:a5B[...]
debug3: send packet: type 50
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
debug3: receive packet: type 51

The authentication process ends there. When I do it for gitlab.com the receive packet is 60 instead of 51. And I get successful authentication.
Tried solutions

*

*The SSH-keys are found in .ssh/authorized_keys on the server and show up in web-GUI. Which differs from descriptions for this bug.

*I created a fresh VM where I followed the guide Gitlab work with SSH. The symptoms didn't change.

*The git config user.name is set to LDAP username, user.email to the corresponding mail address.

*On the client, permissions are set: .ssh/ to rwx------, .ssh/*.pub to rw-r--r-- and .ssh/* to rw-------

*type 51 means the server rejected the client key. So I tried looking at the server logs:

*api_json.log, is mentioned in log section of Gitlab Docs. But to me it seems, it only logs successful actions (I can be wrong though). Also it seems impossible to increase the verbosity of API logging.

*SSH daemon logs only connections on port 22, not the ones by Gitlab

*Adding the ~/.ssh/config form this answer gives: kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer. Which seems to tell, the issue is on the server side

I don't know what to do now. As SSH works on gitlab.com, there has to be a solution for this. Could someone help me out to find it?
As I'm not quite sure, what exactly goes wrong, any help to find that out would also be greatly appreciated.
Versions:
GitLab 14.8.2
GitLab Shell 13.23.2
GitLab Workhorse v14.8.2

A: I just encountered the issue, and our problem was that the local git account had the wrong home directory in /etc/passwd. This was due to a gitlab.rb SNAFU due to our use of NFS for some of the data.
Because of that the ~.ssh dir was not in the right location, so no keys were available.

MANCHESTER, NH – In memory of September 11, the Currier Museum of Art has installed a targeted exhibition of images of the day and its consequences. Famous war photographer Jim Nachtwey was at his home near the World Trade Center and took remarkable photographs of the scenes of destruction and struggle. They are accompanied by a painting by Upper Valley artist Reginald Vessey, who photographed with remarkable intensity one of the commemorative fences erected in the region.
Each of us has our own memory and understanding of past events, and we invite visitors to see what these artists have created.
The exhibition will be on display until October 31.

James Nachtwey (born 1948, Syracuse, NY) graduated from Dartmouth College in 1970 and began his career as a documentary photographer in 1980. He has photographed historical events such as the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, the war in Chechnya, civil unrest in Northern Ireland. , the genocide in Rwanda, the liberation struggle in South Africa, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the earthquake in Nepal. Some of Nachtwey's most compelling works are images of the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City, the wars that followed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the challenges faced by soldiers returning from those wars.

Fitbit sees diabetes management as one of the next big opportunities to pounce on. It recently invested $6 million in Sano, a company that makes a coin-size glucose monitor, and partnered with diabetes management company One Drop. Oh, and it's working with Dexcom to let Fitbit Ionic users track their glucose levels (via the Dexcom G5 sensor) on the smartwatch.
Now, it's partnering with American healthcare insurer UnitedHealthcare on a type 2 diabetes management pilot program. Participants will be given either a Fitbit Charge 2 or Ionic, which they'll use along with a Dexcom monitor, to see how their activity levels are impacting their glucose levels.
Physical activity is an important part of managing blood glucose levels, but it can also put diabetics at risk of hypoglycemia, so keeping an eye on activity levels is beneficial. Participants will get personalized coaching to help them increase glucose control and minimize medications.
Fitbit said diabetes is an "important area of focus" for the company right now. More than 29 million people in the US suffer from the condition, and tech giants including Apple are looking at ways to tackle it. Rumors abound that companies are trying to solve non-invasive glucose monitoring, but that could be years away. Until then, management will be key.

Inaugural Class of Graduating Medical Students Celebrates Match Day
All 40 students graduating from the UC Riverside School of Medicine were matched for a residency program
By Iqbal Pittalwala on March 17, 2017
The inaugural Class of 2017 celebrated Match Day on March 17, 2017. Carrie Rosema
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The Grand Parisian Ballroom at the Mission Inn Hotel in downtown Riverside erupted with cries of joy at 9 a.m. today, "Match Day," when the inaugural graduating class of students in the School of Medicine at the University of California, Riverside opened envelopes that informed them of where they found their residency positions at hospitals and health systems, and where they would spend their next few years.
On Match Day thousands of medical students in the country learn where they have matched for a residency program. Not all students find matches. But all 40 students of the Class of 2017 in the UC Riverside medical school were matched for a residency program, and will start their medical careers this summer. Further, there are no unfilled spots in any of the residency training programs beginning this summer for which the UCR School of Medicine holds the accreditation.
"I've been at this ceremony for more than 15 years, but I have to tell you this inaugural class of 2017 matched 100 percent, which is a marvelous feat," said Deborah Deas, M.D., M.P.H, the Mark and Pam Rubin Dean and Chief Executive Officer for Clinical Affairs at the medical school. "I offer my sincere congratulations to the Class of 2017 because they chose to step up as trailblazers for our medical school. They believed in what we promised, and we delivered."

The first public medical school created in California in more than 40 years, the School of Medicine will graduate its first class of students this summer. Thirty-three of the 40 students who matched today will be staying in California for their residency; 10 matched in residency programs in inland Southern California.

Deas noted that the Class of 2017 handled its journey to Match Day with extraordinary grace.
"Now you are about to pursue yet another journey in your medical career," she said. "When you get to your residency programs you will represent the UCR School of Medicine and distinguish yourself with the values of this medical school: inclusion, integrity, innovation, excellence, accountability, and respect."
Neal Schiller, Ph.D., the medical school's senior associate dean for student affairs, said he would forever remember three occasions associated with the Class of 2017.
"First, your white coat ceremony; second, Match Day; and third, your graduation ceremony," he said. "We are most proud of you."
Just before 9 a.m. today, the Class of 2017 walked up to a stage to pick up their envelopes and gifts. They then returned to their families and friends. At precisely 9 a.m., they joined thousands of other graduating medical students nationwide in ripping open envelopes to read perhaps the most important letter of their lives.
The privilege to continue to stay true to the medical school's mission is what makes Sarah Gόmez excited about having been accepted into the family medicine residency program at Desert Regional Medical Center.
"That residency program also has amazing faculty and residents who, I feel, will really support my learning and this journey I am about to embark on," she said.
"I am so excited to be going to UC Davis and staying in California," said Jaire Saunders, who matched with the physical medicine and rehabilitation residency program. "It is where my family wanted me to go and where I wanted to go. I couldn't be happier."

For student Leila Magistrado today was "the most amazing day" of her life.
"I am so proud to be a part of the UCR School of Medicine inaugural class and I feel well prepared for my OB/GYN residency program at Baylor," she said.
Emma Simmons, M.D., the medical school's associate dean for student affairs stressed that all 40 students had tough decisions to make for Match Day.
"They had many choices for where to go for their future careers," she said. "And they all did remarkably well. This day brings back fond memories for me. My husband and I participated in the Match as a couple, and were very excited to get our first choice."
Paul Lyons, M.D., senior associate dean for medical education, noted that today marked the culmination of more than a decade of planning for the medical school.
"A lot of effort went into realizing this day," he said. "Today we celebrate the hopes and dreams of numerous people – our students, our faculty and staff. We shall forever remember this first Match Day for UCR."

College students learn to face adversity with resilience.
When Molly Fobian looked into the gleaming eyes of her newborn girl, she knew all the struggles of the past nine months had been worth it.
Nearly every college student faces challenges as they move away from home, adjusting to new responsibilities in an unfamiliar environment. For Fobian, this transition was further complicated by an unplanned pregnancy.
Determined to stay positive as she balanced schoolwork with prenatal care earlier this year, Fobian enrolled in "Resiliency and Your College Experience"—a UI health and human physiology course in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences that teaches practical coping skills to help students adapt to life's inevitable hardships. Through the course, Fobian gained support to persevere through her final semester at Iowa, graduate with a degree in enterprise leadership, and find an event planning job in Colorado.
"When you're young, you feel like it's the end of the world if one bad thing happens. This class taught me that I'm so blessed with the life that I have and the people in it," says Fobian, who graduated in May and welcomed Mia Joye in June. "I'm blessed to even have the opportunity to go to college."
At the start of the semester, students learn that 75 percent of their peers admit to being stressed, whether it be from rigorous academic demands, peer pressure, or financial concerns. Resiliency is the psychological strength that allows people like Fobian to bounce back from such problems rather than see ripples in their plans as insurmountable obstacles.
Research shows that highly resilient people have a clear advantage when facing adversity. Though "Resiliency and Your College Experience" has been previously taught as psychological theory, it has been tailored this year to meet undergraduates' needs and offer real-world advice for dealing with everything from breakups to roommate troubles. The revamp comes at a time when university counselors nationwide have reported an alarming rise in students who seem unable to cope with even the slightest setback, such as a bad grade on an exam. Used to their parents' intervention, many millennials later struggle to solve problems on their own.
Resilient people are flexible and quick to adapt. They don't disengage from their problems or become consumed by their feelings, but delay processing their emotions to more effectively find solutions instead of exploding, imploding, or blaming others. Such an approach allows them to persevere with grit and determination, despite the circumstance. Believing success is on the horizon—and that failure is often par for the course for those with big dreams—resilient people develop a positive attitude that's more gracious to themselves and patient with challenges along the way. As former Apple CEO Steve Jobs once said, "If I'm not failing, I'm not succeeding."
While resiliency comes more naturally to some people, it's not just a characteristic gifted to people at birth; it's a set of skills that can be developed by anyone over time. Such flourishment is the goal of "Resiliency and Your College Experience," where students like Fobian learn practical skills at a crucial time in their development to support lifelong growth and well-being. "For many of them, this is the first time they'll hit those bumps in life," says course instructor Catherine Solie, "and it's not going to get easier."
Regardless of their background, undergrads in the class discover that nearly every life challenge—from receiving a speeding ticket to dealing with a noisy neighbor—offers the opportunity to problem-solve and cultivate perseverance. Students learn to look at their trials from a fresh perspective in order to build self-esteem, communicate better in conflict situations, and develop an optimistic outlook on life. Course instructor Christina Nash, 03BA, says, "Students always think of resiliency in terms of dramatic life-changing experiences, but little things can make a resilient person, too—like failing a test and how you come back from that."
During the semester, professors introduce the latest psychological research and TED Talks from luminaries like former U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords. They also share SMART advice to set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Students then practice applying these concepts toward their personal struggles. Fobian says using this method to set financial goals helped her avoid self-pity and gain confidence in her ability to be a good mother.
"Resiliency and Your College Experience" provides a welcome change of pace from the typical UI course, offering an intimate class size of 18 where students can easily interact and support one another in problem-solving exercises. They learn to establish values, own their mistakes, and consider others' viewpoints in order to develop greater resiliency. In one class session, a student confesses he's given his roommate the silent treatment for leaving dirty dishes in the sink. Classmates share ideas to help him address the problem directly without further escalating tensions: to step back and reassess, listen to both the roommate's verbal and nonverbal cues, and respond with a spirit of reconciliation. They later follow up to see how the situation has improved with better communication. Instructors also encourage him and other participants to be willing to seek help and take advantage of the many resources the UI offers to support students, such as counseling, academic advising, and the Career Center.
"When you're young, you feel like it's the end of the world if one bad thing happens. This class taught me that I'm so blessed with the life that I have and the people in it."
— Molly Fobian
During one class period at the Field House, students put their problem-solving skills to the test through a series of experiential learning exercises. Instructors first challenge students to line up in order of their birthdays without saying a word. Many use hand gestures to communicate the month and date in which they were born, although confusion arises as some messages are lost in translation.
Later, the class splits into teams to build towers with the unwieldy materials of balloons and tape—where students' natural resiliency and adaptation skills are on full display. Only half of the balloon towers stand upright. When the class reconvenes oreflect on its approach to this challenge, one student shares how prior experience building balloon sculptures for family birthday parties helped her lead the group to victory. While she applied practical intelligence to the situation, others took an analytical or creative approach to problem-solving. One student whose initial strategy didn't work admits, "I just wanted to give up," but her willingness to switch to a new plan helped her team move forward.
While these exercises help students understand their reactions to adversity, another class project invites them to learn from the life experiences of others. For their final project, students report on a resilient person in their lives and how they overcame a difficult situation. One student picks a single mom balancing two jobs, seeing her in a new light after realizing all of the sacrifices she made to provide for her children. Others choose friends who have overcome abuse, illness, or the death of a parent.
"Resiliency and Your College Experience" instructor Catherine Solie says she's inspired by the growth she sees in students over the course of the semester as they tackle adversity head-on and challenge the "stigma with college students that they're unengaged, that they don't care, that they only think of themselves." Defying all stereotypes, undergrads in this class show an investment not only in their personal growth, but in one another as they build coping skills that will prove useful for the rest of their lives.

Which innovation is right when you have too many ideas?
Focusing on single trends can mire you in tactics. Modelling how those trends collide can lead to big strategic opportunities.
Kerry Foods is the number one supplier of Chilled Ready Meals (CRM) to major retailers. These consist of customer brands, with some licensed brands (e.g. Sharwoods) and tertiary brands (e.g. the City Kitchen range in Tesco). CRM is a very fast-moving category driven by expertise and innovation.
Historically, Kerry had innovated by cuisine rather than by consumer need. While consumer needs have been met in the past by putting cuisine first, there was a danger that innovation could detach itself from consumer need and an excessive re-invention of recipes, packaging and technology could become a downward spiral.
We defined the question to answer as: How best to combine Inspiration and Relevance?
No successful idea follows a single trend in a linear way. Every successful idea, in any market, is a collision of two or more trends.
We interviewed the innovation and category management teams and focused on colliding macro consumer trends in order to give consumer relevance and big picture context for innovation ideas.
Using our model of the six macro trends, which we have updated annually over the past twelve years, we explored the implications of trend-collisions for CRM, answering questions such as: what kind of brand promise could exploit the collision of the three macro trends we define as 'Pleasure & Quality', 'Convenience & Value' and 'Ethics and The Environment'?
Based on above process we created an 'Innovation House' for Kerry's CRM business, consisting of ten bespoke innovation platforms which were subsequently verified by research. All of Kerry's product and brand innovation is being built on these platforms.
For example, Kerry developed the Hungry Joe's range for Asda on what is defined as the 'Value and Values' innovation platform. Asda mums want to feed their families tasty, nutritious, value for money food without artificial ingredients. The new range of products and tertiary brand developed by Kerry revitalised Asda's flagging frozen food business and spans both frozen and chilled.
