The Samsung Galaxy Pocket is a budget offering from Samsung, which aims to scrape the bottom of the Android barrel by luring users into the smartphone game for cheap.
In our review of the HTC Evo 4G LTE, we noted that the Sprint Wireless exclusive smartphone one ups its AT&T relative – the HTC One X, on a couple of instances. The bigger, 2000 mAh battery is one of the Evo features, which is certain to make the owners of its polycarbonate bodied relative jealous.
We wanted to publish the HTC One S review as soon as possible so we had to do without the battery test (which takes a lot of time to complete). It's done now and we're ready to share it with you – especially since HTC doesn't quote official numbers for the One S battery life.
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G for T-Mobile has a rather impressive spec sheet, which means that its battery will have a lot of features to power. And while its 1750 mAh capacity is a noticeable improvement over the 1500 mAh found in the original I9000, it now has an extra CPU core, faster 3G network, as well as NFC to deal with.

I'm putting finishing touches on a presentation I'll be making at the Washington Museum Association conference this week about objects museums have that they rarely or never show to the public.
One of the treasures I'll be featuring is Amelia Earhart's flight jacket.
Not the one she was wearing on that last flight, of course, but one she clearly treasured.
The jacket is in the collection of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming (formerly the Buffalo Bill Historical Center) and there are photographs from the 1920s and 1930s showing her wearing jackets that look just like this one.
According to the museum, Earhart wore this jacket during a two week visit to a friend's Wyoming ranch in 1934, when she an her husband were on a delayed honeymoon – and when they asked the friend to begin building a cabin for them on property they'd purchased in the Cowboy State.
In 1937, as Earhart was preparing for what would become her final flight, she began sending personal possessions – including this coat – out to Wyoming to have for use in her cabin.
But, as we know, Earhart and and her navigator, Frederick Noonan, vanished over the South Pacific on July 2, 1937.
That cabin never got finished and the jacket ended up in storage at the museum.

Zoltan Istvan Gyurko, professionally known as Zoltan Istvan (born March 30, 1973), is an American transhumanist, journalist, entrepreneur, political candidate, and futurist.

Formerly a reporter for the National Geographic Channel, Istvan now writes futurist, transhumanist, secular and political-themed articles for major media, including The New York Times. He believes transhumanism will grow into a mainstream social movement in this decade. Istvan is the author of The Transhumanist Wager, a philosophical science fiction novel.

In late 2014, Istvan announced he was running for President of the United States in the 2016 election. He ran for his own Transhumanist Party to raise awareness for transhumanist politics issues but did not place his name on any state ballot. Later, in 2017, Istvan ran for Governor of California in the 2018 election as a member of the Libertarian Party. In 2019, Istvan ran for the Republican Party's nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election against President Donald Trump.

Early life and education
Zoltan Istvan was born in Los Angeles in 1973 to his Hungarian immigrant parents Ilona and Steven (István) Gyurko. He was a nationally ranked swimmer and waterpolo player in his youth. Istvan later graduated from Columbia University in New York City with a degree in philosophy and religion. During his freshman year, Istvan was arrested by undercover cops for selling $80 worth of marijuana to fellow students. His arrest and subsequent felony conviction, which was later dismissed and expunged, influenced how he views the U.S. government's war on drugs.

Career

Early career
Istvan was an online and on-camera reporter for the National Geographic Channel. His writings have appeared in a blog of the San Francisco Chronicle, and Outside. His work has been covered in publications such as The Huffington Post. Istvan's coverage of the war in Kashmir was made into a documentary, Pawns of Paradise, distributed by Janson Media. Australia's The Age has acquired non-exclusive Australian rights to the show.

According to Istvan, he invented, pioneered and popularized the extreme sport of volcano boarding.

Istvan is an entrepreneur who works in real estate. He also owns vineyard properties in Mendoza, Argentina, Bordeaux, France, and California's Napa Valley. Istvan owns a 68 acre island in Nova Scotia, Canada in the Atlantic Ocean.

Futurist career
After publishing The Transhumanist Wager, Istvan began actively promoting transhumanism and other futurist issues via speeches, media interviews, activism and his writings.

Istvan's writings and ideas on transhumanism, philosophy, atheism and futurist issues have been featured in major media      Istvan has also written for Gizmodo, New Scientist, Salon, TechCrunch, The Daily Dot, International Business Times Singularity University's Singularity Hub, TechInsider, Newsweek, Futurism and Slate.

Istvan gives talks on futurist and transhumanist topics, which include speeches at the World Bank, World Economic Forum (Global Future Council), Congreso Futuro, Moogfest, the World Future Society's annual conference, and Financial Times Camp Alphaville conference.

He appeared in the 2016 documentary The Future of Work and Death.

2016 presidential campaign
In October 2014, Istvan announced that he was "in the very early stages of preparing a campaign to try to run" for U.S. President in 2016. He stated that his goals would be to support scientists in "overcoming human death and aging within 15–20 years" to encourage Americans to embrace "radical technology and science" and to set up safeguards against dangers including potential abuse of such technology.

In October and November 2014 interviews, Istvan explained that he aimed to unify the transhumanist community, which otherwise was splintered, and to establish a single voice. He said great changes in society could happen and that Transhumanism could provide ideas, safeguards and policies. He said the aim for a Transhumanist Party would be to get onto as many state ballots as possible.

In March 2015, Istvan reported progress in organizing a campaign and explained his wish to get major candidates to address issues. He hoped to be included in some debates, at least with third parties. He himself had funded nearly all of his campaign's expenses to date and he noted donations were needed.

Istvan helped to publicize his campaign in late 2015 by driving a bus shaped like a casket—the "Immortality Bus"—across the United States. Istvan planned the bus tour to raise awareness of life extension. At the end of the Immortality Bus tour, Istvan delivered a "Transhumanist Bill of Rights" to the U.S. Capitol. His 20-point platform includes a universal basic income, increased funding for space travel and taking money from the military and putting it into science and medicine.

In February 2016, it was reported that Istvan was likely to vote Democrat, placing himself "somewhere between Bernie and Hillary in terms of political ideologies", but later in 2016 he also wrote articles supporting Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson. On October 15, 2016, Istvan stated on his social media accounts that he would be voting for himself.

Istvan was not on the ballot in any state, though he claimed to have substantial potential write-in backers.

2018 California gubernatorial campaign
Istvan emphasized science, technology, longevity, transhumanism and Libertarian values in his California gubernatorial run, along with support for basic income. He suggested basic income could be paid for without raising taxes through a "Federal Land Dividend". Under this program, the government would allocate monthly payments to households by leasing out federal land. In his debut editorial for Reason magazine, he argued that reparations for harm caused to marijuana users during the federal government's War on Drugs may be appropriate. He suggested reparations could be paid as tax credits or through the sale of federal lands, so as not to put further burden associated with the drug war on taxpayers.

2020 presidential campaign
In December 2017, Istvan announced he was considering running for the Libertarian Party's Presidential nomination. In March 2019 during an interview on the Bread and Circuses podcast, Istvan told Caleb Salvatore and Nick Koehler that he was again considering a run for President. Istvan announced a run for the Republican nomination on November 19.

Philosophy
Istvan states that in the 21st century, as modern man confronts the finitude of life, everyone faces a Transhumanist Wager, a concept that is explored in his science fiction novel of the same name. The Transhumanist Wager follows from a life philosophy Istvan calls Teleological Egocentric Functionalism (TEF). Istvan summarizes the Transhumanist Wager as follows:

Istvan is the creator of the concepts of Theistcideism, Omnipotism, the AI Imperative, the Singularity Disparity, Speciation Syndrome, Post-earthism, Delayed Fertility Advantage, and Jethro's Window, a possible solution to the Fermi Paradox. Istvan is also a populizer of AI Day, the transhumanist olympics, the Jesus Singularity, cryothanasia a robot AI President, and quantum archaeology (technological resurrection). Istvan proposed and developed the concept of a Longevity Peace Prize at the XPRIZE Foundation in 2019. Writing for The New York Times opinion section, Istvan argued conservatives should consider supporting artificial wombs to move the abortion debate forward. Istvan also argued to allow surfing during the Covid lockdowns in The New York Times Opinion section.

Istvan authored an article entitled "Transhumanism and Theistcideism" for publication in Pandeism: An Anthology (2017). Istvan wrote the short fictional story "The Jesus Singularity" on a religious AI that goes rogue and destroys the world. It was published in Vice magazine.

Istvan has a chip implanted in his hand and consulted with the U.S. Navy on broad about the use of the implant in humans. According to Istvan's novel, the three laws of Transhumanism are:

 A transhumanist must safeguard one's own existence above all else.
 A transhumanist must strive to achieve omnipotence as expediently as possible—so long as one's actions do not conflict with the First Law.
 A transhumanist must safeguard value in the universe—so long as one's actions do not conflict with the First and Second Laws.

Transhumanist community reception
Within the transhumanist community, reactions to Istvan's U.S. Transhumanist Party have ranged from enthusiastic to sharply critical. Some transhumanist critics, such as Peter Rothman, have questioned whether the Transhumanist Party adds value to the overall goals of transhumanism.

Personal life
Istvan resides in Mill Valley, California with his wife, who is a physician, and his daughters. He identifies as an atheist.

In February 2015, he helped launch BiZoHa, the world's first free-thinker orphanage, in Mukhoya, Kasese district, western Uganda. Istvan's promotional article on the topic in Vice's Motherboard, helped a GoFundMe campaign to achieve success in raising $5,820 to provide funding for the orphanage.

Prenuptial agreements have hit the headlines again with the recent announcement by Amazon boss Jeff Bezos of his divorce from wife Mackenzie. With a reported worth of USD 136 billion, and apparently no prenuptial agreement in place, Mackenzie Bezos stands to become the world's richest woman.
What may be more significant is that, as well as his wealth, Bezos will have to split his shares in Amazon with his wife. Most of Bezos' worth is in the form of Amazon stock, a reported 80 million shares estimated to be circa 16% of the company. Interestingly, the 50/50 split would make Bezos' wife one of the largest shareholders in Amazon. Equally, Bezos may be forced to sell off some of his shares to fulfil an equal split for the divorce.
It has been widely reported that the couple had no prenuptial agreement in place. A prenuptial agreement can protect business interests so that the business is not divided and subject to the control or involvement of a former spouse once divorced.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are formal written agreements that set out a couple's rights to property and responsibilities in the event of a death or divorce. Although they were once seen as an 'American' idea, or something only for the rich and famous, prenups have become far more commonplace in the UK in recent years.
Prenuptial agreements (prenups) set out the ownership of a couple's assets. This includes properties, money, shares etc. The agreement defines which are jointly owned and which are solely owned and then sets out how they will be divided in the event of a marriage breakdown.
Although not legally binding in England & Wales, prenups are taken into serious consideration by the courts. Ideally, when drawing up a prenup there should be separate solicitors advising both sides to ensure fairness. A properly drafted, fair agreement will be taken into consideration by the courts and will withstand any subsequent challenge.
There are many sensible reasons why someone may wish to sign a prenup. It could be to protect an interest in an owned business, or to protect inherited money. It could be to protect inheritance rights for children from a previous relationship, or perhaps there are assets that would be difficult to split 50/50.
Whatever the reason for drafting a prenup, you should ensure that it is drafted by solicitors with expertise in this area. Contact our Family Law experts for more information on drawing up a Prenuptial agreement or, if you are already married, speak to one of our experts about a post nuptial agreement.


"I decided to work with PublishNation and was delighted to see my first book reaching number 1 in the Amazon rankings.
The PN team were incredibly helpful right across the board. Initially I planned to just have them turn the manuscript into a book for my friends and family, but quickly realised that if I used their expertise it might become something bigger. They created the cover, found an expert to give me some great guidance, ran a very cheap, but very effective marketing campaign and even gave me some thoughts on how to set this book up as a foundation for the next one.
If you dream of seeing your book idea becoming a reality then I would be absolutely confident in recommending David and his team. I would also say that if you believe you can write then you probably can and the only way to write a book is to get on the computer and start writing.
The simple act of creating my book has been tremendously exciting and fulfilling, and working with PublishNation has made it into far more than I ever thought possible."
"The service I received from David at PublishNation was extremely professional. I can honestly say nothing seemed too much trouble. Both of my books have been done really quickly and both the covers and writing has been portrayed exactly as I wished it to be. I will be using PublishNation in the future and feel this is a great company to work with to self-publish. I recommend them to every writer I know, such a brilliant service."
Victoria June Badrock My Best Friend Has Hairy Feet!
"It is a major challenge to acquire the appropriate back-up and support to convert an author's title into the format required by the market place. It's all the more of an uphill task when dealing with multiple titles. Having been frustrated and confused by several on line services, I consulted David Morrison at PublishNation and suddenly got that: 'This guy knows what he's talking about,' feeling. Here's exactly what budding authors are looking for: a service that does what it says on the tin, that maintains its quiet command and professionalism when you as an author might be panicking and being precious (as we do). In the whole process of preparing 'The Bear, the Dragon and the Wolf,' 'Mindfields' and 'Hippies, Vandals and an Alien called Pete,' PublishNation were exemplary in their communications, problem solving, preparation and empathy with the authors' visions for their work. If we wished to find a better service, we'd be very hard pressed. We recommend PublishNation highly and we'll be using its services for new titles as they come to fruition. Thanks very much for the excellent service."
"Having trudged through many publishing websites offering their often expensive or complicated services I came across PublishNation with its offer to do it all for £125. I wondered what the catch would be. THERE IS NO CATCH. I have just published my first book exactly 30 days after my initial approach to David Morrison at PublishNation.
I cannot begin to express how impressed and grateful I am for the service I received from David; every email was responded to personally within 24 hours, every question was answered and every problem solved with an efficiency and professionalism beyond comparison. I would urge anyone considering publishing their work not to delay in contacting PublishNation, I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"When I first opted to go down the self-publishing route, I had investigated going about this process myself. But after seeing what was involved I decided (my computer skills being almost non-existent) it would be better to look for an e-book publisher, to format and do all the necessary work for me.
After many weeks of looking through numerous e-book publishing sites, what they had to offer, how much it costs and other various intricate details involved. I made a shortlist of different publishers. But the one I kept returning to constantly was PublishNation. I liked what they had to offer also the sincere comments of past satisfied customers. I was not disappointed.
I phoned PublishNation and spoke to David Morrison, their main contact. He was always extremely helpful, patiently answering my queries and questions, sorting out minor problems were dealt with immediately. I am absolutely thrilled with my book, Timescan: Science Fiction Short Stories which is published in paperback and kindle formats.
You can have absolute confidence that PublishNation will treat your book with the greatest respect. They offer an extremely professional service. I have been very happy with PublishNation and would recommend them to anyone wishing to self-publish their book."

My current position is a professor of civil engineering, Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Pavement and Infrastructure management, Norman W. McLeod Professor in Sustainable Pavement Engineering and Director of the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology at the University of Waterloo. In these roles, my responsibilities include the establishment and management of a multi-million-dollar state-of-the-art laboratory and field-test facility, supervision of staff and students, leadership on several major projects and involvement in several national and international professional committees. I also participate in the construction and monitoring of over 50 satellite test sections across Canada at airports and on various roads.
My research involves making pavement for both roads and runways that is longer lasting, safer, more cost effective and sustainable. This involves incorporating climate change into design tools and developing better life cycle assessment management tools. I also teach courses in transportation, pavement engineering and infrastructure management to graduate and undergraduate students.
I pursued engineering because I liked math and science and I knew an engineering degree was very marketable. I was attracted to the fact that it was a professional program where there was a demand. Once in the program, I realized just how interesting the profession was. I also really liked the application of science to real-world problems and knowing that my work impacted the quality of life for Canadians. Having been a practicing engineer for 20 years, I can see the impact of my work both in Canada and around the globe, particularly in the developing world. Engineering is a wonderful career, as you learn to solve technically complex problems that can have huge impacts on the planet.
There are a lot of things that I like about my job. I really enjoy mentoring and coaching students and young professionals. It is wonderful when you work with someone who goes on to be very successful and happy in their career and life. I also enjoy my interactions with research partners in the public and private sectors. I have had the opportunity to work with other professionals to advance state-of-the-practice both nationally and internationally, and enjoy serving on professional committees and boards, as this provides an opportunity to impact engineering practice and policy development. My job is challenging and rewarding.
My research laboratory will be open to students in Grade 6, 7 and 8 for a tour and demonstration as part of the Engineering Explorations event organized by Waterloo Engineering's outreach team, demonstrating the potential benefits of our research and encouraging youth to pursue engineering careers. In addition, I will speak at a seminar at a local library, and participate in a panel session organized by Waterloo Engineering's Women in Engineering (WIE) committee on the topic of Maternity Leave and Your Engineering Career.
Engineering is a wonderful career choice, especially if you enjoy math and science. It is challenging and stimulating, as you are often tasked with solving problems that require innovation, creativity and new ideas. Your work directly impacts society and is thus very important. To be successful in engineering, you must have a good attitude and be willing to work hard, which will result in a very rewarding and satisfying career. I strongly believe in promoting women in engineering, as diversity in every profession brings different perspectives that can be very helpful in solving problems. I have always felt that this different perspective has been an advantage for me.

ENTERPRISE — CARES Act checks for Wallowa County businesses are ready to be picked up, county Commissioner Susan Roberts announced Wednesday, Jan. 6.
Although the county had 90 days from Dec. 28 to disburse the funds after the commissioners formally approved cutting the checks, they were able to complete the process quickly.
"People got on it and got the checks all completed and all ready to go," Roberts said. A lot of folks asked if they could pick them up and I'll mail what's left."
She said recipients who have been notified can pick up their checks at her office on the third floor of the Wallowa County Courthouse through Friday, Jan. 8. After that, the remaining checks will be mailed.
Last month, the county commissioners approved the disbursement of $563,232 in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funds to county businesses that could show economic damage largely stemming from gubernatorial executive orders that mandated shutdowns of businesses during the pandemic. The commissioners developed an application form, based on state and local requirements, and received 75 applications. Of that number, 67 were approved.

The CJ Cup: Rickie Fowler (63) leads Rory McIlroy (62) heading into final round
Long-time rivals Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy are looking forward to a Sunday showdown at The CJ Cup in Las Vegas. Fowler's 63 earned him a two-shot lead over McIlroy, whose 62 was his best score for over two years
By Keith Jackson
Rory McIlroy (62) and Abraham Ancer (63) inspired each other to superb rounds as they stormed into contention on day three of The CJ Cup in Las Vegas.
Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy lit up the third day of The CJ Cup and set up an enticing final-round showdown in Las Vegas.
McIlroy posted his best score since 2019 when he rolled in a 20-foot putt for eagle at the last for a 10-under 62 which earned him the clubhouse lead on 19 under, but he ended the day two off the lead when Fowler roared in with a 63.
Fowler arrived at The Summit Club ranked 128th in the world after back-to-back missed cuts, and his tie for eighth at the PGA Championship represents his only top-10 finish of the year.

But the hugely popular 32-year-old launched himself into prime position to collect a sixth PGA Tour title with a sublime performance, carding nine birdies to edge ahead of long-time rival McIlroy at the top of the leaderboard.
Rory McIlroy eagled the last for a brilliant 62
"It's just been a long time coming," said Fowler, without a victory since the Phoenix Open 33 months ago. "I haven't been in this position a whole lot in the last couple years.
"So to feel the emotions again on the back nine being around, and then in the lead, dealing with that again and making sure that I was going through the right process and committing to what I was ultimately trying to do, it was great to see that I was still executing and hitting the shots that I wanted to.
"It was just a solid round of golf today. I started with two solid rounds the first two days, so three days are done. I can't do anything about that, it's 18 holes of golf tomorrow and a whole new day."
Fowler has tumbled to 128th in the world rankings
Fowler will be relishing the prospect of going head-to-head with a similarly resurgent McIlroy, who warmed his putter with an eight-footer to save par at the second before holing from a variety of ranges as he birdied six of the next seven holes.
McIlroy found birdies harder to come by after the turn, although he did pick up further shots at 12 and 14 before two meaty blows found the heart of the green at the par-five last, and the putt for a closing three was never in doubt.
"I guess I birdied the holes that I should birdie on the back nine, and the eagle on the last was a little bit of a bonus," said McIlroy, who has kept a bogey-free card for his last two rounds. "After the front nine, I did what I needed to do on the back nine. I probably felt like I left a couple out there, but I'm not going to complain.

"On a course like this you're going to have stretches where you're going to play good golf and hit good shots and maybe just not hole the putts. I played an eight-hole stretch yesterday in even par, I made eight pars in row, and it was nice to finish with a birdie last night.
"Then today I played a stretch of golf, played nine holes in six under and all of a sudden you feel a little better about yourself. The big thing is I've played the last two days keeping it in the short stuff and I haven't made any bogeys. That's huge.
"I can't remember the last time I played a round of golf without a bogey and now I've played two rounds in a row, so that's nice to see."
McIlroy was also pleased that the work he has been putting in on the mental aspect of his game is reaping rewards, and he will be brimming with confidence when he locks horns with Fowler on Sunday.
McIlroy raced to the turn in 30 with five straight birdies
"It's an exciting day ahead for me," he added. "I'm working on a few things in my game not necessarily swing related, but more mental stuff, routine, visualisation, things that I've done pretty well this week for three days.
"But it's exciting to try to do those things when you're under a little more pressure tomorrow and you're trying to win a golf tournament. So I'm excited to see how that goes."
Fowler and McIlroy will be joined in Sunday's final group by Abraham Ancer, who enjoyed the shot of the week on Friday when he made a stunning albatross at the long 14th but had to settle for "just" an eagle a day later after drilling another classy second to six feet.
The Mexican hit back from a bogey at 16 with two closing birdies to cap a 63 to move to 18 under, a score later matched by Robert Streb (65) and Adam Scott (67).

Tyrrell Hatton began the back nine with bogeys at 10 and 11 before reviving his challenge with birdies at the 14th and 15th and he also produced a high-quality finish, hammering a 258-yard second to five feet and knocking in the putt for eagle and a 67.
His three at the last lifted him to 17 under along with halfway leader Keith Mitchell, who plummeted down the leaderboard with consecutive double-bogey sixes just before the turn as he stumbled to a disappointing 73.

Seurat's Circus Sideshow
17 Feb — 29 May 2017 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, United States
Louis Hayet (French, Pontoise 1864-1940 Cormeilles-en-Parisis), Fair at Night, the Sideshow (Fête foraine la nuit, la parade), 1888, Oil on canvas, 28 3/4 x 36 1/4 in. (73 x 92 cm). Association des Amis du Petit Palais, Geneva
Taking as its focus one of The Met's most captivating masterpieces, this thematic exhibition affords a unique context for appreciating the heritage and allure of Circus Sideshow (Parade de cirque), painted in 1887–88, by Georges Seurat (1859–91). Anchored by a remarkable group of related works by Seurat that fully illuminates the lineage of the motif in his inimitable conté crayon drawings, the presentation explores the fascination the sideshow subject held for other artists in the 19th century, ranging from the great caricaturist Honoré Daumier at mid-century to the young Pablo Picasso at the fin de siècle. This rich visual narrative unfolds in a provocative display of more than 100 paintings, drawings, prints, period posters, and illustrated journals, supplemented by musical instruments and an array of documentary material intended to give a vivid sense of the seasonal fairs and traveling circuses of the day. Among the highlights is Fernand Pelez's epic Grimaces and Misery—The Saltimbanques (Petit Palais, Paris), of exactly the same date as Seurat's magisterial work and, with its life-size performers aligned in friezelike formation across a 20-foot stage, a match for his ambition. Seurat's Circus Sideshow will be on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from February 17 to May 29, 2017.
Circus Sideshow is one of only a half-dozen major figure compositions that date to Seurat's short career. More compact in scale and more evocative in expression than his other scenes of modern life—which he regarded as "toiles de lutte" (canvases of combat)—the painting effectively announced the Neo-Impressionist's next line of attack on old guard turf, signaling a shift in focus away from the sunlit banks of the Seine to the heart of urban Paris. Circus Sideshow initiated a final trio of works devoted to popular entertainment and led the fray as the first to tackle a nighttime setting with the benefit of his innovative technique, alternatively called pointillism or divisionism (the former term emphasizing the dotted brushwork, the latter, the theory behind separating, or dividing, color into discrete touches that would retain their integrity and brilliance). It was his singular experiment in painting outdoor, artificial illumination. The result is disarming. In relying on his finely tuned approach to evoke the effects of ethereal, penumbral light in this evening fairground scene of the Corvi Circus troupe and their public at the Gingerbread Fair in Paris, Seurat produced his most mysterious painting. From the time it debuted at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in 1888, it has unfailingly intrigued, perplexed, and mesmerized its viewers. Seurat's closest associates, seemingly dumbstruck, largely confined their spare remarks to its novelty as a "nocturnal effect." The laconic artist never mentioned the picture.
Circus Sideshow depicts the free, teaser entertainment set up outside the circus tent to entice passersby to purchase tickets—known in French as a parade and loosely translated as the "come-on" or sideshow. At far right, customers queue up on the stairs to the box office. On the makeshift stage, under the misty glow of nine twinkling gaslights, five musicians, a ringmaster, and clown play to the assembled crowd of onlookers whose assorted hats add a wry and rhythmic note to the foreground of this austere and rigorously geometric composition. As viewers, we observe the show—as if from the rear of the audience, a part of the crowd.
Seurat took a raucous spectacle that depended on direct appeal, the banter of barkers and rousing music, jostling crowds, and makeshift structures, and he silenced the noise, rendered the staging taut and ordered, hieratic and symmetrical, exquisitely measured and classically calm. Enveloped by the hazy gloom of night, the players and public are presented with the solemnity of an ancient ritual.
For all its uncommon beauty and striking invention, Circus Sideshow courts conventions and associations that were commonplace in representations of the parade. Throughout the 19th century it had been a stock motif in popular print culture, notably for social and political caricature, where it became an acute device for parodying politicians, who like saltimbanques, are trying to sell something. During the 1880s, the parade subject gained ground: it was given a contemporary edge by popular illustrators; it was painted with riveting descriptive detail by artists who sought success at the annual Paris Salon with works that had broad appeal; and it was mined, with spirited stylistic rivalry, by artists who jockeyed for position in the avant-garde. In the 1890s, the great era of the poster, the subject attracted a new wave of creative talents eager to establish their reputations through success in the commercial world. The poster was modern printing technology's extension of the time-honored parade; both functioned to pull the public into the show. The presentation brings this rich illustrated history to bear on Seurat's Circus Sideshow in a context designed to elucidate the genesis of his composition and to puzzle out the sources and parallels for his haunting and enigmatic work.
The exhibition is organized chronologically, with Circus Sideshow at center stage. It will be displayed in tandem with 17 works by Seurat that exceptionally reunite the painting with the conté crayon drawings most closely related to his conception, including preparatory studies, independent sheets that trace his exploration of the motif, and the glorious café-concert drawings that were shown alongside the picture at the Salon des Indépendants in 1888. The same venue featured Seurat's Models (Poseuses), now in The Barnes Foundation (and precluded from travel), which will be represented in the exhibition by the gemlike small version (private collection). This core group of works is seen with relation to contemporaneous images of the Corvi Circus and the Gingerbread Fair, offering a keen sense of time and place.
As the exhibition will highlight, through loans from nearly 50 public and private collections, Seurat's choice of subject attracted a steady stream of artists in the 19th century—from caricaturists, popular illustrators, and poster designers to painters of like ambition—determined to make their mark on the Paris art scene. Daumier, who set a powerful precedent at mid-century, is handsomely represented by satirical lithographs, as well as pithy paintings and watercolors that chart the saga of itinerant circus performers dependent on the fickle whims of the public. His pace-setting imagery and initiatives find a recurrent echo throughout the exhibition, which is punctuated by a veritable encore performance in the cast of players showcased in graphic works by Henri-Gabriel Ibels dating to the early 1890s.
The appeal the parade motif held for Seurat's Parisian contemporaries will be seen to great effect. In addition to works by other vanguard artists, such as Louis Anquetin, Emile Bernard, Pierre Bonnard, Jules Chéret, Louis Hayet, Lucien Pissarro, and Paul Signac, or those on the cusp, such as Jean-Louis Forain and Jean-François Raffaëlli, the presentation features recently rediscovered pictures shown in the Paris Salons of 1884 and 1885, long lost from sight by artists little-known today, as well as the unprecedented showing in the United States of Fernand Pelez's monumental Grimaces and Misery—The Saltimbanques (Petit Palais, Paris), which was on view at the Salon of 1888, the same spring as Seurat's brooding masterpiece debuted at the Salon des Indépendants.
As a reminder that the "show goes on," the exhibition ends with early works by two artists who continued to explore the parade and its timeless portrayal of the pathos of comic spectacle well into the 20th century: Picasso's moody nighttime scene, Fairground Stall (Museu Picasso, Barcelona), painted on his first visit to Paris in 1900, and Georges Rouault's bravura Sideshow (Parade) of ca. 1907-10 (Centre Pompidou, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris).
Seurat's Circus Sideshow may be seen as the natural successor to exhibitions that have had as their focus other great paintings by the Neo-Impressionist artist: Seurat and The Bathers in 1997 at the National Gallery, London, and Seurat and the Making of La Grande Jatte at The Art Institute of Chicago in 2004. The scale and scope of The Met's presentation have been tailored to vivify a painting that is smaller in size and highly evocative in subject. The current one-venue show may also be appreciated with relation to other recent projects, such as Cézanne's Card Players (2011), Madame Cézanne (2014–15), and Van Gogh: Irises and Roses (2015) that have likewise furnished a fresh context for appreciating the heritage of best-known and loved 19th-century paintings in The Met's collection.

Chances are if a kitchen is used daily, as most are, there will be messes. And, unfortunately, some of those messes happen on the beautiful new granite counter that was recently installed in the kitchen. To keep that counter looking as striking as the day it was installed here are a few tips and cleaning items to keep on hand for cleaning.
Crumbs on dark colored granite are incredibly hard to see.
If unsure whether granite was recently sealed or not, try the water trick. Add a few drops of water onto the counter and watch what they do. If a counter is well-sealed the water will bead in a few drops and can easily be wiped up with a soft cloth. If the water droplets do not bead, then it will need to be. Make an appointment quickly so it can be done quickly and stains can be avoided.
Wipe the crumbs and other debris off the counter.
Daily use of a clean microfiber cloth to brush the dirt that is nearly invisible to the eye off the counter. Move appliances and brush the dust and dirt around them as well. Depending on the color of the granite crumbs may be easily visible, such as on white, but if granite is a brown or gray color the dust and crumbs blend in easily.
To avoid having your counters stained by wine, spaghetti sauce, Kool-Aide or other liquids or solids that can stain, wipe spills up immediately. The liquid will not have time to try to seep under the surface of the counter.
Recently sealed counters 'bead' water.
There are varying ideas on what cleaners to use. There are specialty granite cleaners that can be purchased at most retailers or online, but a simpler plan is to use a pH balanced mild and gentle dish soap. While some dish soaps are also antibacterial as well, this is not necessary as granite is relatively impervious to bacteria as it doesn't seep into deeper layers (this is again, why the counter should continue to be well-sealed). A little bit of dish soap and hot water mixed on a soft microfiber cloth will clean the counter without scratching the surface and keep that granite gleaming. Cleaners such as bleach, lemon, lime, vinegar or Windex can weaken the sealer, so they should be avoided.
A soft cloth is the best tool to use for cleaning the counter.
For the same reason, chemicals shouldn't be used frequently on granite, abrasive and scratchy sponges should also be avoided. Soft microfiber cloths are generally the best bet and after a round of wet cleaning a dry cloth should be used for buffing and drying the counter.
If the granite needs to be disinfected a simple and inexpensive 1:1 ratio of water and 91% isopropyl alcohol can be sprayed on the counter. Simply mix, spray and let sit for three to five minutes. The counter can then be wiped off with a microfiber towel and will be sanitized enough to hold a baby's pacifier.


You don't agree with the judge's decision.
There is evidence that wasn't presented during the initial proceedings.
There were errors in how the law was applied in the case.
There were mishandled legal procedures during the initial proceedings.
The facts were misrepresented in the original case.
An appeal traditionally starts with the original lower court where the case originated. All parties in a case are able to file an appeal if they disagree with the initial ruling of the court. The party that lost the claim is the appellant and the party opposing the appeal is the appellee.
A Notice of Appeal must be filed with the correct court to continue with appeal proceedings. A Notice of Appeal states the intent to appeal and the reason for filing an appeal, which must be outlined in detail. An experienced Chicago attorney can help you fine tune your appeal and get the wording in order. There are also deadlines to contend with as well as jurisdiction issues that must be taken into consideration as the appeal process begins.
Affirm the judgement of the original court and let it stand.
Modify the court's original decision.
Reversal of the court's original decision.
Send the case back to the original lower court for additional review.
Send the case back to the original court to allow them to correct oversights.
The Appellate Court may decide that it is in the best interests of the parties involved in the case to review and even rehear the entire case. If this occurs, you will need an experienced Chicago lawyer to guide you through the process. The Appellate Court may decide to allow informal proceeding where the case may be dismissed. The court may determine that the original ruling was unconstitutional or may rehear the entire case and issue a new verdict. The final decision of the Appellate Court is presented in a formal notice to the trial court.
The appeal process can be complex and involves several specific requirements and procedures that must be followed. A Chicago attorney experienced with filing appeals can guide you through the process and explain what all is involved. An attorney experienced with appeals can also review your grounds for appeal and determine your odds of a successful appeal.

Track Premiere and Interview: Japanese Thrash Metallers Gyze Seek to Export "Asian Chaos"
July 3, 2019 Shawn Macomber
Interviews, News, Track Premiere Gyze, Marty Friedman, Thrash Metal.
Japanese melodic death-tinged thrashers Gyze are on a mission to transform an album title into a worldwide movement — and with the imminent release of the ferocious and unique Asian Chaos it's difficult to see this Hokkaido quartet as anything other than conquerers-in-waiting.
Today we've got an exclusive stream of a new track from Asian Chaos, "Japanese Elegy," as well as a fascinating interview with guitarist/vocalist/mastermind Ryoji Shinomoto. (For more info and to keep up with the band via its robust social media presence, visit the official website.)
From the cover artwork to the unremitting attack of the songs, Asian Chaos appears to strive to intertwine two traditions — that of the Samurai as well as your country's well-documented affinity for hard rock and extreme metal. Am I interpreting that correctly?
Gyze has been active overseas in many different ways — starting with a debut release via an Italian record company in 2013 and later co-operating with a big German booking agency. We've performed on big international festivals such as 70000 tons of Metal, Summer Breeze, and Leyendas del Rock, and even supporting Battle Beast on their long Europe tour. Every time performing overseas we were thinking "What is our unique weapon on the world metal market?" And then I realized it is our Japanese origin that can distinguish us from thousands of other bands. That's why even in the artwork I decided to make an accent on a recognizable symbol of Japan — a strong and noble warrior Samurai.
I also wanted our new album to become a flagbearer of Oriental Metal so I tried my best to compose the unique music that has never been heard before.
Do you think Asian metal has not quite gotten its due yet?
What can I say? If we're talking about metal my answer would be…both yes and no. If compared to the really famous foreign bands Japanese metal bands really seem a little weaker. There are such big and famous bands like X JAPAN and Babymetal is pretty popular. However, among metal fans, there are many who say those are not really metal bands.
I can say we're definitely lacking core-class bands here. It seems like Japan is a country of two categories: We have a few really big bands and tons of unknown artists only.And there are many bands who try to copy the western style and almost no bands playing something really unique and original.
That's why with Asian Chaos I tried to achieve the first in the world correct fusion of Japan and Metal. It's not only about instruments and image. It's also about the music scales and composing level.
Well, Japan getting Marty Friedman to relocate there seems like a pretty huge coup!
I thought Marty Friedman is Japanese, isn't he?! (Laughs)
Do you remember the first records that sparked your love for the heavier side of music? How did you go from fan to creator?
My love for metal started with Kiss. In other words, 70s rock got things going. And eventually, I started listening to the Metal of the 80s — Metallica, Iron Maiden — and [from there] ended up getting into the Scandinavian death and speed metal of the 90s. However, now I prefer Classical, Folk and Film music. When I was in my teens I wanted to write my own music so I naturally started composing.
Did you and your two brother take this journey together or did one lead and the other follow?
Probably, I played the captain on board the GYZE ship and that's how we were sailing. But we all experienced the same excitement, hardships, passion, I think.
What's the origin story of Gyze? How did you link up with the members outside of the Shinomoto find one another?
First, when I was 18 years old I had my solo album released from a small company as a solo guitarist. But it wasn't enough for me so I invited my brother and my middle-school friend and created a band. Unfortunately, our first bassist got in jail and thus quit the band. Luckily, it happened before our official debut so it didn't affect the band and its future. At that point, Aruta entered Gyze. And three of us — Shuji, Aruta and me — had been working together for quite a while.
However, with this release and on we have my guitar teacher Shinkai with us so Gyze became a twin-guitar band. Shinkai is a professional music teacher, recording engineer as well as a keyboard arranger. We really needed two guitarists to perform Gyze music and until now the computer was performing the second part. I wanted to have real sound and boost the performance thus I added a guitarist to our line-up.
Is the sound we hear on Asian Chaos the one you initially set out to summon or did things shift and evolve naturally as you played together?
When creating Asian Chaos I knew what I wanted to achieve. I had many songs waiting to be finished and released, but I chose those that had the most Japanese feel to them for the strongest impact. Also, I invited the oldest Japanese traditional orchestra Gagaku with my friend Yohei Nakagawa to take part in the recording. And I also included female vocals part to the title track having my wife Stacy sing for us.
Moreover, my good friend Marc Hudson, the vocalist of DragonForce, performs guest vocals on one of the songs.
What's the plan after the record drops?
After the release, first of all, we'll go on Japan tour. Then we'll bring our show to Mexico as we had to cancel our gigs there last year. After that we're really hoping to bring Gyze music to the U.S. and Europe with a long tour. In America, we have performed only on 70000ton of Metal yet so we'd really want to tour North America—on the ship. (Laughs)

USC/CLEMSON
River Rat Rants
Bryce Steele
SAF Bryce Steele (6-2 200) of Alexandria, VA will be one of the most hotly pursued players in the country at his position in the 2021 class. Over the weekend he named a top ten list from his many offers. USC made the group along with Penn State, MIchigan, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, Notre Dame, Maryland, Ohio State and West Virginia. Some of the offering schools who did not make the cut are Virginia, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, PItt and Boston College.
The Gamecocks and head coach Will Muschamp have had a long relationship with Steele and he didn't forget that when he sat down to pick out his ten most wanted.
"I first camped there two summers ago before they offered, and after camp, coach Muschamp personally came up to me and told me that they will be recruiting me until the day I sign with a school and that hopefully it'd be them," Steele said. "I camped again this past summer and I also went to watch them play Alabama. One thing I love about the Gamecocks is the relationship I have with the coaching staff. We talk on a regular basis. What got them in my top 10 is that it's a good academic school, big time SEC football, and they seem to play their players early."
Over the summer Steele also visited Michigan, Ohio State, North Carolina and Notre Dame. He is scheduled for an unofficial visit to Ohio State November 23rd for the Penn State game and he plans to visit Michigan the following week for the Ohio State game.

Hans-Wolfgang Pfeifer (* 18. Mai 1931 in Frankfurt am Main; † 3. Juli 2002 ebenda) war ein deutscher Verleger. Er war mehrere Jahrzehnte Geschäftsführer der FAZ.

Pfeifer trat nach dem Jurastudium 1960 einer Anwaltssozietät in Frankfurt bei, eröffnete aber später seine eigene Anwaltspraxis. Nach insgesamt acht Jahren Rechtsanwaltstätigkeit wurde er 1968 zum Geschäftsführer der FAZ ernannt. Nach vier Jahren wurde er schließlich zum Vorsitzenden der Geschäftsführung gewählt. Er engagierte sich nicht nur für die Belange seiner Zeitung, sondern für die Interessen der Zeitungsverlage insgesamt. Er war Mitglied des Verbands Hessischer Zeitungsverleger (VHZV) und wurde 1973 in dessen Vorstand gewählt. Von 1979 bis 1991 war er an der Spitze des Landesverbands. Zugleich gehörte er drei Jahre lang dem Präsidium des Bundesverbands Deutscher Zeitungsverleger (BDZV) an. Am 1. April 1994 übernahm Dietmar Kablitz seine Stelle als Geschäftsführer der FAZ.

ALBANY — New York became the first state to implement a ban on the sale of flavored e-cigarettes Tuesday as concerns grow over a recent spate of vaping illnesses and rising use among teens.
At the direction of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the state's Public Health and Health Planning Council approved emergency regulations in a majority vote that followed more than two hours of public comment from vape shop owners who warned it will force them to close their businesses and push ex-smokers back to traditional cigarettes.
The ban — which outlaws the possession, manufacture, distribution and sale of all flavors except tobacco and menthol — takes effect immediately and will expire in 90 days unless it is renewed by the council or approved via legislation.
"It is undeniable that vaping companies are deliberately using flavors like bubblegum, Captain Crunch and cotton candy to get young people hooked on e-cigarettes — it's a public health crisis and it ends today," Cuomo said. "New York is not waiting for the federal government to act, and by banning flavored e-cigarettes we are safeguarding the public health and helping prevent countless young people from forming costly, unhealthy and potentially deadly life-long habits."
Michigan announced earlier this month that it would ban flavored e-cigarette products, becoming the first state to announce its intention to ban the nicotine-based products. That ban does not go into effect until Oct. 2, however.
In New York, the decision to exempt menthol flavored e-cigarettes was criticized by 18 health and parent organizations who say youth will now turn to menthol as their flavor of choice.
"Menthol is the new mango," said Kevin O'Flaherty, director of the Northeast region for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "If you want that to be the permitted flavor for kids in New York state then you should pass this policy as written."
State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker called for the menthol exemption, citing data that suggests the menthol flavor has helped smokers of traditional menthol cigarettes to quit. He said Tuesday that his team is still considering whether to include menthol in the ban, and that the governor's office has asked him to come up with a decision within the next two weeks.
The state Department of Health will provide retailers with an approximately two-week grace period before conducting visits to enforce the flavor ban beginning Oct. 4. Local health departments and the department's district offices will handle enforcement.
Retailers who violate the ban will face fines of up to $2,000 per violation, which is defined as each unit of flavored e-liquid or product containing e-liquid that is possessed, manufactured, sold or offered for sale.
State health officials said the ban on possession applies only to retailers and not to teenagers and adults who may already have flavored products in their possession.
"The alarmingly high numbers of young people in New York state who are using vape products is nothing short of a public health crisis," Zucker said. "These regulations are a part of many critical steps we are taking to combat this disturbing trend. We will continue to be aggressive in our efforts to prevent nicotine addiction and bad marketing practices under Gov. Cuomo's leadership."
Dozens of people showed up to the state Health Department's regional offices in Albany, Rochester, Buffalo and New York City on Tuesday to speak out against the emergency regulations.
Vape shop owners said flavored products make up at least 90 percent of their sales, and said they're already hearing from customers who say they're worried they will go back to using traditional cigarettes once flavors are banned.
"Millions of lives are at risk because of this knee-jerk reaction by the governor's office," said Spike Babaian, technical analysis director for the New York State Vaping Association, which said it plans to take legal action to fight the ban.
Vaping advocates also accused the state of scapegoating the industry for this summer's rash of serious respiratory illnesses that have killed seven people nationwide and hospitalized hundreds.
The illnesses, they say, are the fault of black-market companies making THC oils. While federal and state health investigators say there is a potential link to high levels of vitamin E acetate found in black-market THC cartridges, they have also not ruled out that other ingredients may be at play in patients who were using both cannabis and nicotine-based vape products.
At least one member of the voting panel said Tuesday they felt the emergency regulations were conflating the issues of rising youth vaping rates and the rash of illnesses.
"I'm sorry, I'm just not convinced this is an emergency in the full sense of an emergency," said Dr. Glenn Martin, an associate dean at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, who added that rising youth use is an "extraordinarily important public health issue" that he believes can be solved through a more comprehensive approach.
He and one other member of the voting panel — Howard Berliner, of Service Employees International Union — voted against the ban.
Since the state Department of Health began tracking e-cigarette use in 2014, the number of high schoolers who've admitted to vaping in the last 30 days has increased 160 percent from 10.5 percent in 2014 to 27.4 percent in 2018. Among seniors, the number is even higher at 40 percent.
Officials have also expressed concern that the state's youth smoking rate has crept up in recent years following years of declines. Just 4.8 percent of New York youth smoke traditional combustible cigarettes, one of the lowest rates in the nation. That's up from 4.3 percent in 2016, however.
Dr. Lawrence Brown, an addiction medicine specialist based in New York City and voting member of the panel, said he was concerned about the ban's potential to harm smokers trying to quit, but that the data on adolescent use was "persuasive" enough to demand action.
"I'm a bit concerned about doing nothing," he said.
As the vote was announced, members of the audience called panel members "murderers" who were accepting "blood money" from Big Tobacco, referencing a claim that harm to the vaping industry serves only to benefit tobacco companies who manufacture smoking cessation products.

That by betrothal, the mind or spirit of the one is prepared for union with the mind or spirit of the other, or, what is the same thing, the love of the one with the love of the other, is evident from the arguments presented in the preceding article. It should be mentioned in addition, that on conjugial love is inscribed the following...

The case is this: When a man is being reformed, which is effected by combats and temptations, such evil spirits are associated with him as excite nothing but his things of knowledge and reason [scientifica ejus et rationalia]; and spirits that excite cupidities are kept entirely away from him. For there are two kinds of evil spirits, those who act upon man's reasonings, and those who act upon...
875. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. That this signifies that nothing of the good and truth of faith could yet take root, is evident from the signification of a "dove" as being the truth of faith, and from the signification of "rest for the sole of the foot" as being to take root. The reason that it could not take root is told in what follows, namely, that...

The chief part of representative wor...
2636. Abraham was a son of a hundred years. That this signifies a full state of unition, is evident from the signification of a "hundred," as being what is full (concerning which presently); and from the signification of "years," as being state (see n. 482, 487, 488, 493, 893); here, a state of unition. What a full state of unition of the Lord's Divine with His Human is, or wha...
2786. And went unto the place of which God told him. That this signifies His state at that time according to perception, is evident from the signification of "place," as being state (see n. 1273-1277, 1376-1381, 2625); and from the signification of "God saying," as being to perceive from the Divine (n. 2769, 2778). As regards the state itself, it is described in this verse, tha...
3195. And he dwelt in the land of the south. That this signifies consequently in Divine light, is evident from the signification of "dwelling," as being to live (see n. 1293), and as being predicated of good (n. 2268, 2451, 2712); and from the signification of the "land of the south," as being Divine light; for the "south" signifies light, and indeed the light of inte...
3894. It was said above (n. 3892), that the respirations of angels and spirits are altogether according to their states of love and of the derivative faith.

7849. In which they shall eat it. That this signifies enjoyment, is evident from the signification of "eating," as being appropriation (see n. 3168, 3513, 4745), but here enjoyment, because a state of initiation is treated of. The case herein is this: when those who before the Lord's coming had been detained in custody in the lower earth (n. 6854, 6914, 7091, 7828) were to be liberated,...

8029. From what has already been occasionally related about the state of man after death, it is evident that there are few who at once enter heaven when they come into the other life; but that they stay for some time beneath heaven, in order that the things belonging to earthly and bodily loves, which they have brought with them from the world, may be removed, and they may thus be prepared to be c...
8054. And it shall be when Jehovah shall have brought thee unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. That this signifies the region of heaven occupied by those who are in evil and falsity, is evident from the signification of "the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite," as being...
8179. Why criest thou unto Me? That this signifies that there was no need of intercession, is evident from the signification of "crying unto Jehovah," as being to intercede, namely, for liberation from temptation. Hence "Why criest thou unto Me?" denotes why dost thou intercede when there is no need of intercession? and therefore it follows, "speak unto the sons of Israel,...
8181. That they set forward. That this signifies what follows on continuously even until they are prepared, is evident from the signification of "setting forward," as being what is successive and continuous (see n. 4375, 4554, 4585, 5996); for thereby is signified that they were not to cry out, that is, to supplicate, but that the journey was to be continued to the sea Suph, and afterwar...
8313. Pain hath laid hold of the inhabitants of Philistia. That this signifies despair of enlarging their dominion on the part of those who are in faith separate from good, is evident from the signification of "pain," as being despair on account of their being no longer able to enlarge their dominion (of which below); and from the signification of "the inhabitants of Philistia,"...

Q: Showing that $i^n=0$ when $i$ is the imaginary unit and $n$ is infinite Let be the sum:
$$\begin{align}
s&= i+i^2+i^3+\cdots+i^n\\
 &= i-1-i+1+i-\cdots\\
 &=(1+i)(1-1+1-1+\cdots)
\end{align}$$
As Grandi's sum is equal to $1/2$, so: $s=\frac12(1+i)$.
But, $s$ is also a geometric series, so:
$s=\displaystyle\frac{(1-i^{(n+1)})}{(1-i)}$
So:
$$\frac12(1+i) = \frac{(1-i^{(n+1)})}{(1-i)}$$
Which means:
$$1-i^{(n+1)}=\frac{(1+i)(1-i)} 2=1$$
So $i^n=0$ when $n$ is infinite.

A: The given series is divergent.
If you want to apply  Cesàro summation you must proceed as follows
$$s_n=\sum _{k=1}^n i^k=\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{i}{2}\right) \left(-1+i^n\right)$$
$$a_m=\sum _{n=1}^m s_n=-\frac{1}{2} i \left(i^m-(1+i) m-1\right)$$
and finally
$$S=\underset{m\to \infty }{\text{lim}}\frac{a_m}{m}=-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{i}{2}$$

Book Review: Redlined
Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at 1:17PM
Redlined. Linda Gartz. She Writes Press, April 3, 2018, Trade Paperback and E-book, 256 pages.
Reviewed by Roger Prosise.
Redlined, by Linda Gartz, is a luminously written memoir of a white family that lived in West Garfield Park, on the west side of Chicago. The Gartz family managed rental properties for more than four decades, starting in 1949. They rented the apartments in their six flat and the bedrooms in the apartment in which they resided. Linda's grandparents worked sixteen-hour days to make ends meet and to get ahead a little. Selbststandig, the German term for being self-sufficient, and racism, are themes of the book.
Gartz's memoir focuses on her family's experience of the transformation of their neighborhood from white to black, and the racism and riots that came along with this change. An abundance of the Gartz Family letters and diaries are used to tell her family's tale. The author also employs her own research on segregation, which describes how blacks were being systematically kept out of white neighborhoods. She is enlightening about how this segregation had detrimental consequences for black renters and white property owners.
Redlined allows the reader to experience the impact of racism, as well as the struggles of living with someone with a mental illness—her grandmother was psychotic and lived with the family for fifteen years. It is also a beautiful coming of age story of a girl who grew up in racially charged and economically challenging times. Gartz provides authentic and honest details of herself and her family, and even includes her own friendships and games such as the dunk tank at the Riverview Amusement Park, which came to be called racially offensive names. Her memoir includes a love story, the obvious being the author's relationship with her boyfriend/husband, but a more compelling love story is the author's relationship with her mother and father.
Redlined is a family's journey through turbulent times, and it brings a personal perspective of life during the '50s and '60s, times of tremendous racial unrest. It is a wonderful read and would appeal to people interested in Chicago history, racial integration, coming of age stories, love stories, and stories that give a realistic look at life with a mentally-ill family member. I enjoyed this memoir, particularly the combination of authentic story-telling and research that provided some of the backstory. The author's honesty and vulnerability make it a compelling read and draws the reader into the story.

Will you need a synopsis for Pitch Wars? I'm not going to lie. You may need one. Many mentors might ask for one to make that final mentee decision.
I get it. I hate writing synopses. But, unfortunately, it's a necessary evil. Agents and editors may ask you for one. Get yours ready right after you finish your manuscript. Some writers do one before they even write the book. I can't do that because I never follow an outline. So I thought I'd share with you how I do my synopses. Here's a simplified formula. I hope it helps you tackle that dreaded synopsis.
1st Part (1 paragraph) – The hook.
What makes your story unique? Find that special something that sets your story apart from all the other stories out there with similar premises. Your manuscript about the bonds of friendship isn't special enough. But put the friends in a moon station or on a deserted island where they have to trust each other to survive and you have something unique.
2nd Part (1 paragraph) – Act I. The slice of life.
It's simply your character's life before a door closes forever on the main character and life as they knew it changes.
3rd Part (1 to 2 paragraphs) – Act II. Inciting incident. No going back.
Start with your Inciting incident. How do you find the inciting Incident? The inciting incident takes the character from Act 1 of the story into Act 2. Your inciting incident should follow the "slice of life." It's the point of no return. Your character hasn't a choice to go back to his or her normal life. She has no choice but to move forward.
4th Part (1 to 2 paragraphs) – Act III. All seems lost. The climax.
Make sure to define the stakes in the story and add the road map to the climax. Keep it clean and on the main plot.
5th Part (1 paragraph) – Closing. Wrap it up and give the ending.
Yes, you give the ending of the story. You can also add that it's a standalone with series potential if you want.
Add what is unique about your story. That something cool that makes an agent/editor want to make an offer.
Don't be vague. No teasers. The agent/editor must know everything important in the story.
Don't add backstory or subplots.
Your synopsis should always be written in third-person, present tense no matter the tense or POV of your novel.
Keep your synopsis to around 500 -1000 words. A one-page synopsis is single-spaced with breaks between paragraphs. Two-pages or more should be double-spaced and formatted like a manuscript.
