We founded Archest s.r.l. limited company in 2006 following the merging of Artech and Terratest design workshops. The Artech workshops was established in 2004 by a team of professional united since 1991 in the SPI company (Engineering and Architecture service company). The Terratest design workshops was established in 1974 and with time it has matured a remarkable experience in the design and managament of public and private works.
We are an independent company of planners, designers, technical specialist, engineers and consultants with a remarkable experience in the design and management of public and private works.
We offer a broad range of professional services with a height level of quality and in straight coordination between the different specializations.
We create and develop our projects through active cooperation of different high-level professional resources whose skills and experience are in the fields of Architecture, Urban Planning, Engineering and Infrastructure, and Territorial Planning.
Archest Team considers the development of research (technological innovation, architectural quality and sustainability) one of the main approaches to architectural design and engineering.
Archest considers that sustainable approach is to realize zero emission of carbon buildings and architectural quality, urban and social development of buildings designed and built, integrated principles from the very early project phases (concept design) and developed during the project until its construction.
Archest deals with architectural and engineering competitions, taking part in numerous projects and monitoring with very careful integration in the landscape, architecture and urban-environment, architectural and design solutions for the consistency of the concepts of sustainability.
Our Company joints technical and professional resources with height level of skillness, with primary competences in the fields of Architecture, Infrastructures and Engineering for the Design and Consultancy.We will provide complete project solutions, for either public or private clients, from conceptual through working drawings up to the as-built documents, that integrate specific experiences and skills on different specialist branches, as Buildings such as: residential, schools, hospitals and office building, industrial and production plants, sport facilities, urbanizations and city infrastructures, road and rail networks, bridges.We are able to manage complex work teams, consisting of our basic structure and including also non-resident professionals with specific skills and/or operating in the concerned territory, as well as indicated by the Client, so as to improve the necessary co-ordination and synergies. Activities are organized into different working divisions, integrated and coordinated when it is needed: Architecture: Our architect team have a primary experience in building design, either conceptual, basic and detail, site supervision, with the warranty for an hight level af architectural quality and a a particular attention on suitability and low needs of energy.Infrastructures: Our engineers have a deep skinless in bridges, rails and roads design either conceptual, basic and detail supervision.Engineering: Structural, M&EP, conceptual, basic and detail design, general working documentation supervision of projects, construction management, procurement management: tender documents, contract management, general supervision, all this services are made also for architecture and infrastructures projects.
Archest's working groups are "BIM oriented" and follow training courses, for improvement and updating, in "Building Information Modeling" field to have a better interoperability and integration among different expertise and with external partners.
Progressive building services design involves different engineering skills and Archest has experts in all the disciplines needed to design even the most complex of buildings. The disciplines work closely together within multi-disciplinary design groups, in order to achieve the high degree of integration and co-ordination essential to facilitate the construction process. Fine buildings are created when the aesthetic, functional and technical aspirations are in balance and future operational considerations and maintenance requirements have been considered from the outset. Archest designers are involved in some of most innovative yet practical buildings in existence today.
The pressure for efficiency and buildability in construction has never been so intense. Ever-increasing regulatory and site constraints coupled with the move towards more sculpted architecture have placed new demands on building designers. Archest's role as structural engineers is to find optimum solutions. With experience and expertise gained from working with some of the world's most demanding blue-chip clients, our structural engineering team can meet the challenge. We take a 'whole-building solution' approach to structural engineering, supporting and challenging the design team to balance the demands of cost, value and programme. This is while keeping the client and project team fully informed, through continuous dialogue, of the implications of alternative design options. Buildability and sustainability go hand-in-hand throughout the design process. Our knowledge of the construction process and our good working relationships with contractors ensure that construction techniques and logistics inform the design from the earliest stages, reducing wastage of materials and time. With our we help to create buildings that are less costly both to the client and the environment over their lifetime.
Infrastructure's design brings together many of the skills and services available in Archest, from geotechnics, bridge design, rail and highway design. Major infrastructure projects, involve significant investment and require solutions that are cost-effective, efficient, sustainable and delivered in an environment in which risks are managed. Our infrastructure design engineers bring state of the art knowledge in design and materials, included providing comprehensive services from survey, geotechnical/soils, preliminary/final design including hydraulic analysis, environmental permitting, utility and ROW issues. We typically investigate all options for innovative solutions to reduce cost in design, permitting and construction inspection and future maintenance.
Archest believe in "Design and Delivery". In order to assure that our work is of the highest standard, Archest is certified to ISO 9001:2000 by the leading certification body, released by SGS advisor.
Archest is also certified to design in the Russia an Kazakh territory and to have a design company with a local permission.

"Ensure austerity can never happen again," 120 local leaders tell Corbyn
120 Labour mayors and council leaders have written to Jeremy Corbyn today asking for local government to be prioritised in the new party manifesto.
The local government leaders are urging Labour to promise not only that it would end austerity but also that it would put in place measures to "ensure it can never happen again".
Their letter was sent just ahead of Labour's 'Clause V' meeting, which will be attended by national executive committee members, shadow cabinet members and senior trade union representatives.
Taking place on Saturday, the crunch meeting is expected to scrutinise and sign off the draft manifesto text before it is released likely early next week.
Update, 4.30pm: Local government spokesperson Andrew Gwynne has replied to the letter on Corbyn's behalf. Gwynne has promised to reverse cuts, as well as "develop a fully funded social care model", offer "emergency funding" to councils most effected by austerity, introduce a 'Barnett Formula for the North', devolve housing and other powers. The full text is below.
Below is the full text of the letter from local government leaders.
We are writing in response to your call for ideas to ensure the next Labour government can genuinely rebuild and transform our country and our society. As Labour councillors and mayors we will be giving everything we can to elect a Labour government because this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to permanently shift power out of Westminster and into the hands of local people.
We are writing to you ahead of Labour's 'Clause V' manifesto meeting to ask that our manifesto reflects the vital importance of local government to delivering the real change that it will promise. As Labour councillors and mayors we are closer to the people than any other part of our movement, and as Labour's leaders in local government we have practical experience of running public services and delivering for our communities. Solutions to most the biggest challenges of domestic policy – building the houses we need, providing decent care for our ageing population, and tackling the climate change crisis – all run through local government. Labour will only be able to deliver the change our country needs with the help of local councils and metro mayors.
But since 2010 councils have been systematically stripped of the funding and powers we require just to run the basic services we all rely on. We stand ready to work with the next Labour government to deliver radical and people-focused policies – but if Labour is to truly put power in the hands of local people, it is absolutely vital that our manifesto commits to restoring the funding councils need, to forging a new compact with local government based on mutual respect, and to devolving power and responsibility to our villages, towns, cities, and regions.
Ending austerity in local government
Local government has suffered the deepest cuts of any part of government since 2010 – councils have lost 60p out of every £1 in funding that the last Labour government gave to councils (£16bn). Labour's manifesto must commit to truly ending austerity in local government by committing to restore this funding over the course of the next parliament.
One of the next Labour government's first tasks will be to confirm the Local Government Funding settlement for 2020/21, which has been delayed by the general election. It is vital that our manifesto commits to using this settlement to make an emergency investment into three key crisis areas: children's services, adult social care, and homelessness.
Ending austerity is vital, but Labour must also ensure it can never happen again. Our broken political system enabled the Tories to make savage cuts to local public services and to asset strip local communities for over a decade without the consent of local people. The manifesto must include a pledge to introduce a review of Local Government Finance, co-produced with local government, in order to establish a fairer and more progressive system of property taxes, and to establish a mechanism to ensure that revenue is appropriately redistributed according to local need. Labour should legislate to guarantee councils can access sustainable funding, with multi-year settlements allowing them to plan for the future and move spending towards early intervention services that will reduce demand in the future.
A new partnership with local government
Councils are responsible for the public services that matter to everyone. 44% of the commitments in the 2017 manifesto fell either directly or indirectly on English local government to deliver, and our new manifesto will place a similar burden on councils to deliver. But councils are not a delivery arm of national government. We are democratic, transparent, and accountable, and closer to their communities than any civil servant or minister in London could ever be.
Labour councillors share your vision of making our country a fairer and more hopeful place, and will work hard to make it a reality. If the next Labour government is to meet the expectations it has created, it will need to forge common purpose with all local councils and develop a new relationship with councils based on mutual respect and partnership. The manifesto must include a commitment to introduce a Local Government Commission, representing a new compact between national, regional, and local government. The Commission should be made up of councillors from every region, every authority type, and every major political party, and be given a formal role in the domestic policy-making process, to make better, more effective legislation and ensure that policies governing local services can be implemented at the frontline of delivery.
Devolving the power to tackle our biggest common challenges
Solutions to the biggest challenges of domestic policy – building the houses we need, providing decent care for our ageing population, and tackling the grave threat of climate change – all run through local government. Councils carry out extraordinary work already in these areas but they have been held back by a lack of powers and resources. Taking decisions over how to run local services closer to where people live is key to improving them and saving money. If the next Labour government follows through with the promise to devolve powers and resources to local communities, they will be rewarded with councils delivering more quickly, with deeper impact, and in a more cost-effective way than any Whitehall initiative could ever achieve.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland already have a significant say over everything from health services to skills and transport, yet many of England's communities are still desperate for the same freedoms. A Devolution Bill, co-produced through the Local Government Commission, should lay the framework for a new constitutional settlement between national, regional, and local government based on mutual respect, and underpinned by a compact that respects the independence, autonomy, and equality of regional and local government and puts local people and communities at the heart of decision making.
We believe these three strategic commitments – to restore the funding councils need, to forge a new compact with local government based on mutual respect, and to devolve power to the local level – are genuinely crucial to the next Labour government's ability to deliver real change, but there are also a range of other important policy priorities for councils which we have summarised in the attached document.
This is truly a once-in-a-generation election, and the manifesto is our opportunity to set out how a radical Labour government will empower councils and regions, and permanently shift power out of Westminster and into the hands of local people. We would urge you to ensure this opportunity isn't missed. As Labour councillors and mayors we are proud to be campaigning hard to ensure a Labour victory, and stand ready to help you to transform our country for the better.

Below is the full text of Andrew Gwynne's response.
Thank you for the letter you sent to Jeremy, he has asked me to reply on his behalf.
I firstly want to repeat what I said in my recent email to all Labour councillors.
As we head into a general election, we want to extend our thanks for all your hard work and for the support you have given to my team over the past two and a half years since I became shadow Communities secretary.
We know that you know the effect of a decade of Tory failure. Cuts to councils have stripped services to the bone. Under immense pressure though, you have fought the Tories and Lib Dems and stood up for your communities.
For many people politics is too distant from them – too many of the decisions that impact on their lives are made in Whitehall and do not reflect local needs and priorities. Under the Tories responsibility for a greater number of costly services has been devolved to local authorities. However, the funding from central government to deliver the kind of projects communities require has been sorely lacking. Tory cuts are hitting the most deprived areas hardest. Nine of the top 10 of the most deprived councils in England have seen cuts of almost three times the national average. This is having a devastating impact on local public services. By 2025 local government will face a further funding gap of £8 billion just to maintain local services at their current level.
It's time for real change. Labour will give local government the funding it needs to deliver the services local communities require and expect. We will develop a fully funded social care model and will commit to emergency funding to support local councils which have faced drastic cuts to their budgets thanks to this Tory Government. Labour will make council tax fairer and introduce a 'Barnett Formula for the North' to deal with regional funding disparities, so that the economic recovery benefits everyone all over the country.
Labour's plan will help tackle the housing crisis in local areas by devolving powers and funding to get Britain building. We will give local areas greater control over transport so councils can ensure that they meet the needs of their communities. We will also give local communities greater control over their high streets, with powers to decide whether to limit the number of gambling establishments, payday lenders and fast food outlets.
I want to end as I began. You are an inspiration to our movement. A movement which over the next five weeks will draw on your example and showcase the best of what Labour can deliver. More investment in councils, schools and hospitals. Stronger new powers to fix our broken housing market. More police on our streets to tackle knife and other forms of crime. And yes a commitment to put Brexit behind us with a new better Labour deal that's put to the people to let them decide so can move on in the country's best interest rather than rushing a decision what will effect generations to come.
Good luck to those of you standing. Thank you to all of you for all the campaigning you have and will do. Let's deliver a Labour government for the many and not the few.

This gift brought together art and helping hands.
The Robinhood Foundation is New York City's largest poverty fighting organization. At their annual gala they give out a custom bag to hold the many gifts the sponsors donate and thank the contributors.
Axis needed to create a bag that had style, function, and met a specific price point. This year, we provided a custom cooler, which also held the additional sponsor gifts.
In addition, Robinhood partnered with fashion designer Mara Hoffman to create a custom towel to pair with the cooler. Axis produced the original design of high quality towels to be given out with the bag.
Axis did the fulfillment and need to deliver the bags complete to the Javits center on the day of the event. This helped streamline all processes and freed up some of the staff on the day of the event.
The response from Robinhood was FANTASTIC. The recipients were thrilled with their bag, towel, and other assorted gifts.

Spirit Airlines Reaches Deal With Pilots to Avoid Layoffs

Some pilots for Spirit Airlines will take a voluntary leave of absence or have their work schedule temporarily reduced as its union reached an agreement with the carrier to avoid layoffs.
Almost 600 of Spirit's estimated 2,500 pilots were at risk of being furloughed, according to the financial publication The Motley Fool.

Airline Passenger Violence Down So Far in 2022, But...
It was welcome news for the battered airline industry, which has seen a precipitous drop in demand for travel since the coronavirus pandemic hit in February. Airlines were able to muddle through the spring and summer after accepting a total of $50 billion in aid through the CARES Act stimulus package in March.
One of the provisions of the CARES Act was that carriers could not involuntary furlough or lay off employees until October 1. That restriction expires in five weeks and, by some estimates, nearly 70,000 airline workers in the U.S. could lose their jobs.
The Motley Fool noted that it is vital to avoid layoffs but especially so for pilots. Furloughed pilots need to undergo an extensive and costly retraining process when they are recalled to work. Depending on the amount of time they are furloughed, some pilots might not be able to return as quickly as others when demand returns.
Spirit and its chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association reached the agreement earlier this week. The voluntary leaves by pilots mainly cover the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. Other than heavy holiday travel around Thanksgiving and Christmas, these are generally weaker parts of the flying year.
The hope, The Motley Fool noted, is that air travel demand will recover sufficiently by next spring and certainly by next summer.

Q: Not able to print after upgrade to 18.04 LTS I performed a "do-release-upgrade" a few days ago from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS. After the upgrade I wasn't able to print. Printing worked before the upgrade.
Printer: Brother MFC-J625DW (connected via WiFi with static IP address 10.0.0.3)
Computer: Lenovo ThinkPad T410 (connected to same network as printer; pinged for confirmation)
When I print a test page, the system notifies me that the job was submitted and completed, but the printer doesn't do anything.
I have looked through logs, but I don't really know which messages are pertinent to the situation.
I've managed to fix this problem with past upgrades, but I'm stumped by this one. Any ideas?

A: I'm going to answer my own question in case it helps anyone.
I found this thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2404947 and did an autoremove, upgrade, and reboot. I logged back in and successfully printed a test page.

I just hooked the wrong cable to the high hat, and was delighted to find the result! Some of you may already be aware of this, but connecting a different speed of clock pulse to the envelope and then the drum, ends up offsetting the emphasis on the beats. All this time, I have been playing with the drums, thinking "there has to be a way to add a little bit of movement that I am just overlooking" and today I just fell face first on the answer I have included my [accidental] example below so anyone who isn't aware can check it out too!

The impeccable craftsmanship erases any sign of the human hand; the sculpture is machine like in its perfection. The light spilling in from the skylight on the ceiling illuminates the fabric creating an ephemeral feeling, as if we are looking at a space that is no longer attainable, even heavenly. The weightlessness of the nylon blurs the lines between object and memory.
Above the divide an upright gate floats, identically mirrored with the gate below, its reflection veiled by equidistant strips of nylon, attached seamlessly across the space, only visible through the haze of teal translucent fabric. The space is meditative, as if looking at a reflection in water; the structure is permeable and porous, allowing the viewer to see all the way through the sculpture.
I am drawn to this image because of its seamless formal qualities. The impeccable attention to detail allows me to enter a space that is purposeful, and believable. I believe that this gate once existed in the world, and view its seclusion in this new space with a sense of longing. It is a reflection, both physically and conceptually. The choice of material also draws me to this piece. The way the light hits the nylon illuminating the sculpture creates a stunning blue glow. The glow turns the structure into a dreamscape for me, evoking a sacred, transient space to reflect on.

Q: Nashorn Javascript engine using cpu by loading classes after a minute? Using Java8u60, nashorn
The objective is to have approx 2000 function-objects interact with each their own API object every 500 msec. Each script being approx 5 to 20 lines of code.
What i see is that after the initial burst of CPU usage used for compiling the script it is running quite nicely. But after approximately a minute, there is another burst of CPU usage and a massive amount of classes are being loaded.
I would like to know why this is happening (because it was already compiled right?), and what ways there are to influence this phenomenon.
Below, the effect as seen by using JvisualVM.
Initially:

After a minute approx 10000 classes are loaded. See the cpu usage and spike in right-bottom corner graph:

Some details:
Each function-object has its own SimpleScriptContext.
I use Swingworkers to firstly compile and on next invocations execute the compiled function.
I have a ScriptEngine instance per thread (Swingworkers use a pool of 10 threads hardcoded in JDK) in the hope that compiling doesn't block other threads.
Each SwingWorker instance executes a single CompiledScript for all function-objects having the same script-text only once and then exits.(There are approx 30 unique scripts.)
These SwingWorkers are instantiated and executed every 500msec.
This is the code i use for executing a function-object:
/*
 * test for script change, if so, recompile
 */
if (e.cCompiledScript == null) {
  /* compile once, but don't when an error is not cleared */
  if (runner.cErrorString == null) {
    e.initCompiledScript(runner.getScript());
  }
} else {
  /* run the CompiledScript in the (shared)engine with the provided private context */
  e.cCompiledScript.eval(runner.getScriptContext());
}

Cher Addresses Britney Spears' Controversial Conservatorship: "Everyone Heard Stories"
The hashtag #FreeBritney has been going around for quite some time as fans fight to free Britney Spears from her conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears. Her father has allegedly been in charge of her entire career and life. This is because she has been deemed unable to care for herself. Rumors allege that Britney is in this conservatorship against her will.
Celebrities like Cher have spoken out on the #FreeBritney movement, essentially confirming the rumors. "She worked hard, was the Golden Goose, made lots of money, now she's the cash cow. Does anyone who's making money off her being sick want her well!? Someone who doesn't want anything from her should look into her doctor and her meds."

🦆🦆🦆……Is It a Duck⁉ https://t.co/hniE8yFrHZ
— Cher (@cher) August 26, 2020
Cher tweeted this in response to an article stating that Britney's younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, wanted to gain control of her big sister's assets. Someone responded to Cher, saying, "She has been working here in Las Vegas doing show after show. If she can work day in and day out, she can control her own affairs. It is sad that they take advantage of her and the court should help free her from these greedy family members."
RELATED: Britney Spears Addresses Serious Rumors Surrounding Her Mental Health And Family
Cher would respond to this tweet, saying, "Everyone in Vegas heard stories." Earlier this year, Cher had also questioned why Britney continues to work if she apparently still needed a conservator to look after her money and career choices.
Jamie Spears calls the movement "a joke"
Everyone in Vegas heard Stories
Britney has been under conservatorship since 2008 when she had a mental breakdown. The court approved of her father, Jamie, taking full control over her fortune and other big decisions in her life. The conservatorship was extended until 2021 even though an attorney told the court that the singer was "strongly opposed" to this.
In an interview, Jamie calls the #FreeBritney movement a joke. "All these conspiracy theorists don't know anything," he says. "The world don't have a clue. It's up to the court of California to decide what's best for my daughter. It's no one else's business."
LOS ANGELES – JUL 22: Britney Spears at the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Premiere at the TCL Chinese Theater IMAX on July 22, 2019 in Los Angeles, CA / Carrie-nelson/IMAGECOLLECT
The #FreeBritney movement began as a result of "the alleged abuse of power and violation of human rights Spears has endured under a conservatorship by her father and the mismanagement of Lou Taylor, who was responsible for initiating the conservatorship." This is according to Wikipedia. For a closer look into the #FreeBritney movement, watch the video below.

Search engines are the fundamental method people use to access the website – sites that appear first for common searches like, "pizza near me" or "running shoes" get a lot of traffic and make a ton of sales. If you want an easy way to drive a lot of new customers to your site, search engines are the way to go. Big companies have entire firms dedicated to making sure they appear on top. Without a professional team helping you out, it is really hard to compete.
The major way businesses acquire brand recognition and become household names in their community is by learning how to use social media to their advantage and make people share their products and commodities. The problem is that many consumers are hostile to businesses and their social media accounts, and there are a lot of stories about social media strategies actually making a business worse off, and in some cases, even driving it to the brink of bankruptcy. An agency will be able to make your accounts appear more organic and your posts more appealing.
SEO is a mix of marketing, software development, and copywriting. It's impossible for a person to have all of those skills, so any personal effort will unavoidably fall short and will be lacking in some areas. While this doesn't mean you won't see any benefits, it shows that you can do much better with a professional company. An experienced company has computer masters, insightful marketers, and also creative, competent writers. You'll be sure each part of the process is taken care of by qualified and specialized employees.
Moz Pro costs $179 per month, Ahref costs $399 dollars per month for three users, and there a plethora of SEO tools that don't even have a personal plan and only deal with agencies and big businesses. Buying just one tool to assist you with your personal SEO efforts will cost you a fortune, and you usually need at least two or three to get a complete insight into how to manage SEO and optimize your content. This is another area where SEO companies are much better. Any agency worth its salt would have access to multiple SEO tools, and it would be able to generate detailed reports and statistics for you, that you won't be able to get any other way.
They won't just give you complex statistics and let you fend for yourself! An SEO agency will help you interpret the results of your marketing campaigns and breakdown the demographics and niches that drive your organic traffic. You'll have an intelligent business solution, with products that are popular among your customers, and what demographics do you need to target to drive profit up. An agency will help you to turn all the data into data, and you know what they say – knowledge is power.


One of the great shocks and scandals of the Regency period was the introduction of the waltz. It become popular in Vienna in the 1780s, but didn't make its first appearance in England until 1810.
And it wasn't met with a warm reception.
Considered indecent and disreputable, even by the 'fast' set of Regency society, it became the subject of diatribes and caricatures. It wasn't until later in the period, after the Napoleonic Wars, that it became more generally acceptable. Princess Lieven acted as something like an ambassador of respectability, and smoothed its introduction into polite company. The strict Lady Patronesses of Almack's (perhaps not coincidentally, Princess Lieven can be counted among them) eventually allowed it to be danced in their esteemed Assembly Rooms.
And while respectability and acceptability are difficult to down, by the time Emma was published in 1815, Jane Austen must have considered it suitable enough if one of her heroines was dancing it.

Hackers steal 8 GB of data from Italian anti-cybercrime unit
Evidence servers of the Italian National Anti-Cybercrime Center for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure (CNAIPIC) have been breached and some its contents published by a group of hackers calling themselves "Legion of Anonymous Doom", who apparently got on board the AntiSec campaign.
The group has made clear that its sitting on around eight GB of stolen data and that it plans to release it all.
The data dump waiting to be released apparently contains also documents stolen from the Australian Ministry of Defense, various big Russian companies such as Gazprom, a number of embassies and consulates situated in Ukraine, the Nepalese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Egyptian Ministry of Transport and Communication, the US Department of Agriculture and hundreds of attorneys and government agencies, and others.
"This corrupted organization gathered all the evidence from the seized property of suspected computer professional entertainers and utilized it over many years to conduct illegal operations with foreign intelligence agencies and oligarchy to facilitate their lust for power and money, they never used obtained evidence to really support ongoing investigations," writes the group.
According to the BBC, among the documents released in this "prerelease" are those depicting CNAIPIC's internal management structure and a list of the stolen documents.
CNAIPIC has still not commented on the veracity of these claims.

Trump On Putin Being A 'Killer:' 'You Think Our Country Is So Innocent?' [VIDEO]
Kaitlan Collins White House Correspondent
February 05, 2017 12:16 PM ET
President Trump repeated his sentiment that he has respect for Vladimir Putin.
(Photo: Fox News screen grab)
In an interview with Bill O'Reilly that will air ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, the president said America is not "so innocent" when he was asked about the Russian leader's murderous reputation.
"I do respect him," Trump said. "Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean I'll get along with them. He's a leader of his country. I say it's better to get along with Russia than not. If Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all around the world, major fight. That's a good thing."
"But, [Putin] is a killer," O'Reilly said.
"There are a lot of killers," Trump responded. "We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?"
During the interview, Trump maintained his claim that between three and five million people voted illegally in the presidential election.
"Many people have come out and said I am right," Trump said.
"We can be babies, but you take a look at the registration. You have illegals, you have dead people, you have this. It's really a bad situation."

After listening to many messages, we need to uprightly ask ourselves these questions: 1. What is gospel to you? 2. How precious is this gospel to you? (are you willing to give up your personal desires just to pursue it? How much do you need it?) 3. Are you bound to this gospel like the silken fetter? A real and progressive faith-living is one that is constantly experiencing AND confirming the work of Holy Spirit inside us. To a born again man, the gospel is not mere knowledge but the heart of God, i.e. constantly loving, tearing down the old self and rebuilding the new thinking and living system in us. This is because the working of God in people He loves is like "Silken fetters", "binding" our hearts to His love and leading, so that we are walking closer and closer with Him, and desiring to be in sync with His heart more and more. Therefore, ask yourself, is the gospel you have come to know - one that is truly binding? A gospel that is truly binding is not cheap nor easy, instead, it is priceless, the truth, and sometimes giving us difficult moments and putting us in paradoxical situations - yet with it comes the glory of God, crown of life and inner strength from the power of Holy Spirit to walk through each difficult moments.


Professor Michael Froomkin is seeking to hire law students to help manage a major conference on legal and policy issues relating to robotics, to be held at the University of Miami School of Law on April 19 & 20. There is intellectual work to be done to set up the event, and also some administrative duties, although the law school staff will handle the majority of those duties.
The job involves a smaller amount of work now, and a larger amount of work in the weeks leading up to the event. The candidates who fill these slots would be asked to attend and assist with the conference, for example liaising with speakers, and summarizing events online, on Twitter and other media.
The job pays $13.00 per hour.

as themes are quietly reprised.
toward peace or something like it?
to an orchestra stripped of wind and drum?
Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings was a favorite of mine before Platoon and before it became our national anthem of grief and catharsis during the public mourning of the 9.11 losses. I find it still a great comfort. I heard it in the background recently during a newscast covering another vigil for victims.
Really well done... Well made.
Fantastic rendering of this monumental piece of music.
Thank you, Steve. Means a lot to me.
These words take me to a better place. I enjoy this piece more with every read.
" . . . the calm this time . . . "
Amazing. I know I left a comment and faved, but the comment has vanished. I recall it was something about how you got inside the music and revealed some of its inner secrets. You did, of course.
toward peace or something like it?"
Thank you, James. Barber composed many wonderful pieces seldom heard now.
Thank you, Sally, for your response.
Thanks, Mathew. There is a place somewhere in the inner workings of Fictionaut that holds many messages as electronic hostages.
Thank you, Sam. I have to credit a friend for some of the re-working of this, and the link.
i've never liked barber. i like this piece much more.
Thank you, John. Coming from a superior musician, high praise, indeed.
J. Mykell, I appreciate your kind use of "cathartic" very much.
Thank you, Foster. Ekphrasis is a fine way to open the channels to available wavelengths.
Thank you very much, Frankie, Quirina and James.
Profound meditation on the music.
Thank you for reading it, Beate.
coming to this, finally, late but...nevertheless i've arrived. fantastic piece of work. faved.
Also one of my top five favorite classical pieces. Well done capturing it, Gary.
Excellent piece! I'm not a Barber fan, mostly listen to Baroque, especially Vivaldi, Bach, Corelli, Telemann, Purcell, the rest of the gang; but Barber was bigger than himself in this piece that you so gently and elegantly write about. But the poem, of course, should be good without either knowledge or appreciation of the music -- and it is! Thanks.
Thanks, Willie. I am very charmed by the Baroque gang as well. I suspect that God, when It chooses to exist, listens to Bach.
Beautiful poem Gary. For those of us of a certain age, it became the dirge of national grief after the Kennedy assassination when it was played for four days without stop.
Well written poem on a stunning piece. Fun fact: Barber's "Adagio" is a smaller part of a larger work--String Quartet, Op. 11.
Thank you, Amanda. It's interesting how pieces from pieces can be re-arranged, transcribed, re-orchestrated and transformed.
"to an orchestra stripped of wind and drum "
Wonderful. It's difficult to write about music respectfully but not too respectfully and you've done it.
Thank you, Marcus. I appreciate the reading.
I favorite this and would also like to favorite Marcus's comment, as he said what I wanted to say, more or less.
masterful manipulation of sound and pause and tone to create a powerful effect, and question.
My brain had a pleasantly difficult time deciphering all the stimuli in this piece,really took me a few times of reading through it along with the Adagio itself to really grasp it.
Barber has always been one of my favorite composers -- and this captures his music as I have never been able to put into words. Stunning, and perfect.
Like Adagio.. words that blend in harmony with existence.
Thank you for making me laugh this morning with your comment on my piece.
Sad , yet some how, "returns us, purified."
I love the imagery and sounds in this, especially 'shatters and spills everything'; I always love the image of shattering, and this line is great, with 'spill', giving the shattered things a more fluid feel.
The inevitability of the song being used for a future tragedy is the inevitability of future tragedy. Poignant.
An extraordinary ekphrastic poem! I love the Adagio, and you capture not only its core, but our core when we hear it, when we realize what music does, can do, to us, and the work it inspires.
Thank you, Tantra, Tyler, Kyle, Phillip, Linda, A., Steven, and Phillip.

Royal Southern Brotherhood | El Jebel Shrine | 2/9/2013 | Review
Article Contributed by Dave Papuga | Published on Monday, February 11, 2013
Saturday night's Mardi Gras Celebration in Denver featured a supergroup that epitomizes New Orleans style southern rock and roll. The Royal Southern Brotherhood, featuring Devon Allman (guit/vox), Cyril Neville (percussion/vox), Mike Zito (guit/vox), Charlie Wooten (bass) and Yonrico Scott (drums) were the perfect band to headline such an event. All proceeds benefited Blue Star Connection, an organization that provides access and ownership of musical instruments, and musical therapy, to young people with health challenges. In addition to an evening also featuring sets by young blues guitar sensation Austin Young and Tommy Malone of the Subdudes, the music was preceded by a silent auction and a formal sit-down dinner. A righteous band for a righteous cause, and a lovely venue (El Jebel Event Center in Denver) to boot.
Allman (son of Gregg) can belt, just like the old man, and he made this apparent from the get-go. The band got the evening off on the right foot with "Fired Up," from their debut, self-titled release. Allman also previewed "Don't Set Me Free" and "Time Machine," from solo debut, Turquoise, which drops this Tuesday.
If you came for the vocals, Neville and Allman delivered. These two could take the cake on the "best new vocal duo," no sweat. They took turns on the lead vocals, from tune to tune, and came together for a really cool cover of the Grateful Dead's "Fire on the Mountain," bayou style. Zito is no slouch himself on vocals. One might assume that a guitar player of his caliber needn't bother approaching the mic, but stand corrected, the mans got pipes, and there was no denying the fact after he ran through the evenings performance of "Way About You." It should also be noted that he played some really quality slide on the aforementioned Dead cover and on "Sweet Jelly Donut," which also showcased Neville's Norlins-style vocals.
If you came to get your doors blown off by southern-flavored riffs, they had you covered as well. Zito and Allman are pros, swapping on epic lead after epic lead, and filling the Denver hall full of merciless guitar work. The solos took on a life of their own- crying and burning and trading and winding. It was the kind of shit that makes you wish you had your own rock band.
Scott owns the pocket. The guy is just on time, driving like a city plow truck down I-25, clearing the lane for the guitars to put the hammer down. And thankfully so, because someone had to hold it down each time Allman and Zito took the liberty of launching solos out into space (which, fortunately, happened quite often).
Bassist Charlie Wooten is not happy simply riding out the groove- this guys lines could easily stand-alone...and eventually they did, as Allman, Neville and Zito left the stage. Wooten threw down some action, some Jaco (Pastorius)-style shit—really turning it up outside of the confines of a song structure. He whipped through blinding intricacies and fast, funky, techy grooves that emptied into a drum solo which, simply put, let anyone who wasn't previously hip to the magnitude of Scott, know the business. All anyone could see for the next five minutes was a whirl of tracers as he tore ass from coast-to-coast across his drum kit.
The term "supergroup" can surely carry a hefty stereotype of egotism and dysfunction with it, but not here. There was nothing but smiles and camaraderie up on that stage, and the vibes came through the music just about exactly perfect.

Britain Breaks Free
Well this is interesting. Scotland votes to stay in the UK and the UK votes to leave the European Union. Finally Britain awakes. There is a lot of absurd doom and gloom rhetoric complaining about their decision to abort the fraud but I will clarify the step forward. Everybody likes free trade and everybody wants to prosper. The problem with most of these trade agreements is that they have nothing to do with free trade and everything to do with giving up sovereignty.
After signing a treaty supporting a European Union, with no Constitution or Charter of Rights that binds future governments by law to protect civil liberty, what guarantee do you have that new Union remains a free republic as opposed to a galactic empire so to speak? With no Constitution or Charter of Rights you have absolutely no protection whatsoever. Civil liberty is lost and so is the Free Republic. So stop the doom and gloom nonsense. None of us are that stupid.
Holland has already expressed valid concerns to this Galactic Empire in the EU. Another one of the concerns is Banking fraud. Ireland was finally beginning to prosper. Then all of a sudden they were surprisingly hit with a huge bank fraud similar to Greece. The Irish are smart. Screw them over and they will not forget. A star hasn't fallen. It just broke free.
The Globalists in Brussels and elsewhere are going to fight this tooth and nail, of that you can be sure. Already the EU has taken the trouble to say that until Britain actually leaves, they are still bound by all EU laws and regulations, and they are whipping up the panic level to increase pressure for a second vote. Let us hope they do not succeed, and that Britain will in fact secede.
Dennis Watson June 25, 2016 at 11:09 AM
No doubt the fraudsters will cry the sky is falling so they can steal Britain's cash and liberty. This time it's not Hitler it's an invasion of deception.
Dr John Smythe June 25, 2016 at 11:44 AM
If one takes the time to examine the referendum results, it was the large metropolitan cities that voted to stay; just like the Quebec referendum.
One can barely imagine the threats of economic uncertainty told to employees in large firms to scare them into voting to stay.
The media is trying to pull out all the stops and whine and moan about how a second referendum needs to be conducted - yet, if they would have had the results reversed, they would have been adamant there was a clear and solid choice to stay and that decision must be respected. Period.
Hopefully this will give other countrys' the incentive they need as well to stand up for themselves.

As a proud western Canadian . I am so happy to see Brittain free of her socialist chains . Now to replace the libs in Ottawa...
Could the west ever break free ? U imagine how awesome it could be . All that vlcrown land . For u and for me
Dennis Watson June 25, 2016 at 5:14 PM
I'm not sure how the West separating would create more land. Although I agree the sky certainly wouldn't fall if Quebec or the West separated I do think we would be diminished one without the other. Diversity makes us strong.
To a point, yes, but only if those who make up the totality of the body politic are united by a shared vision, shared beliefs, and shared standards which surpass their individual origins. The FFL takes in recruits from the world over, but they all pledge their loyalty to the Legion, not to France. "Legio Patria Nostra", the legion is our homeland. That, and the American melting pot of past years is the way in which diversity is a strength. "From many, one."
If not, diversity is a weakness that allows ruthless politicians and other movers and shakers to achieve their thievery and corruption more easily, there is less resistance as the whole of the people are not united behind anything. How many hyphen-Canadians think of themselves as Canadians first and foremost? Damn few I'll tell you, and if they say that when you ask it's mostly because they know it's the expected answer.
Part of where Canada (and Europe) are right now is because they fell hok/line/sinker for the Leftist/Globalist version of diversity. I can promise you that a good bit of the Brexit vote going the way it did was because of the EU immigration policies that GB has had rammed down it's throat to the point where there are Muzzy area's the police don't go except in force. Germany, France, Belgium, all the same. They have been invaded, and they know it, and they want their country back. If you think the Globalists in Brussels at EU HQ didn't know exactly what they were doing, you're mistaken.
Dr John Smythe June 25, 2016 at 9:02 PM
The failed concept of "multiCULTuralism" is the model that Canada has been trying to shove down the throats of the populace since the first Trudeau was in office.
As much as it might seem, on the surface, like a good idea, it only ends being an hollow token where individuals are allowed to wear some clothing and cook some food. It is truly a superficial tokenism.
So what then does it do? (http://archives.sspx.org/against_sound_bites/multiculturalism.htm)
PS - Note that Dinesh D'Souza is cited a few times in the above article.
Since nature abhors a vacuum, if the West did separate (ask Doug Christie about the success of that campaign) the vacuum left would allow even more liberalism, as we saw in the French "revolution" to grasp its claws and talons into our society.
Dennis Watson June 25, 2016 at 10:49 PM
As far as I'm concerned this whole multiculturalism hate is nazi fascism. This is the wrong blog to promote that kind of hate. My parents raised me differently. They taught me to respect and cherish cultural diversity and from what I've seen in my years of travel around the world is that they were right. I do not believe in the Adolf Hitler model. We fought that kind of hate in the war for a reason. I believe in the Hamilton model because I am proud to be a Canadian. This is not the American melting pot. This is the great Canadian Mosaic and we have every reason to be proud of it:

The Guardian article on Saturday may have said it best, "if you got money, you vote in.....if you haven't got money, you vote out".
the bureaucratic rules certainly didn't help the E.U.'s position in G.B. and some of them were down right weird.
some preliminary analysis of the voting reflects aging baby boomers wanted out, younger people wanted to stay. Those living in large centres who were doing well, wanted to stay, but in poor areas, they wanted out. In my opinion much of this can be laid at the door of the Conservatives who year after year had cut health, education, housing, etc. For those not part of the "good life", the arrival of more people in the country didn't seem like a good idea. With so little they weren't into "sharing". Income inequity doesn't help anyone and in this case may have contributed to the "exit".
its hard to get ahead in a country which is classist and then hampered by a poor education system.
The campaigns run by some "leavers" were racist in nature blaming foreigners for everything and anything. However, if you look at history and at those such as Mosley and Enoch Powell all that changed were the dates and the names.
Part of the problem is the E.U. expanded into countries which were not on a level playing field with the original 6 countries. The expansion worked for corporations who were able to move capital easily to benefit from lower salaried workers in former eastern block countries.
You can not blame people for wanting a better life and given movement was free, they moved.
The exit by GB may cause other countries to vote to leave. Some former eastern block countries may say they want to, but they have benefited from the infrastructure upgrades provided by the E.U. Then they didn't want to participate in the allocation of refugees. the original 6 may be getting tired of "carrying the load" and decide to leave.
A country needs to control its own borders. the e.u. changed that.
G.B. with its social problems, people at the bottom of the economic scale had had enough and weren't prepared to "share". Had Cameron not dismantled the social system, who knows people might not have been so angry that they wanted to leave the E.U. They had to blame some one or something for their plight and its not always fun to have to blame yourself for voting into office a government which doesn't have the interests of the average worker in mind, only the financial elite.
Dennis Watson June 26, 2016 at 5:44 AM
There is a lot of speculation about this and that but the clear results show that England and Wales overwhelmingly voted to leave. It was almost a blackout while Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay.
I'm a little bit surprised about Northern Ireland. When I was living there concerns were raised then about the possibility of joining with the EU which would mean the border between the North and South would drop and Ireland would finally become a nation once again. Unfortunately the opposite would be true. Not only would Northern Ireland no longer be a nation, Scotland and England would cease to be one as well.
The EU fraud is scamming both the rich and the poor with false propaganda. It's like the propaganda war over the Ukraine. It's driven by the intelligence community because it is tied to the banking fraud which the intelligence community is neck deep in. Ripping off taxpayers by stealing their money and their liberty.
Let us hope that one of the side effects of the well deserved death of the EU is that Ireland shall once again be one nation.
That too is problematic. In Northern Ireland 49% want to cut ties with England and join the Republic but 51% do not.
Yeti June 26, 2016 at 7:40 AM
My comment about western separation and crown land . Let me explain . It is my opinion . That of the west left confederation . All the current land owned now by the crown . Would be opened up for development and homesteading . This would be a huge boom for hard working westerners
I see. But if the West was to separate, wouldn't all that crown land become owned by the new government of the West? Putting all that crown land in the hands of someone like Christy Clark is kind of scary.
It's reminiscent of public assets becoming private then disappearing just like in Greece. Reminds me of a Mel Gibson quote in the movie the Patriot: "Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a King can."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEUEAloFdkc
Fair enough . I don't see someone like Christy clark having any say in a free west tho. I would think the western capital would go to calgary . I can see a good life of saw mills farms and oil wells . Everyone would be well employed . I really don't see a downside . Lazy hippies cam starve for all I care
One would think someone from Alberta would be much more fiscally responsible and better suited to govern. Unfortunately, Stephen Harper was from Alberta. He was no Preston Manning. He was just as bad as Brian Mulroney. Tax and spend for his buddies in corporate monopolies. He did not support a free market nor was he fiscally responsible.
Also I would hope any new western government would be open for business . Gotta agree with u about Gibson and the Patriot tho. If that's how it played out and we just switched one inept worthless leftist government . For another worthless tax and spend liberal government . Yes we would still be over the barrel so to speak
Business is good. Corporate Monopolies are bad. We need to support a free market. Fiscal responsibility is important. Some people just don't get it.
Maggie Bernet June 27, 2016 at 8:00 PM
Now, lets get this Global Revolution started, well overdue
Stop listening, reading watching the CPM Corporate Paid Media
The Deliberate Dumbing Down of the World works way to well, lets wake-up while we still have a place to wake up to.
Brussels is more corrupt then imaginable - so is our own Government, from local to provincial and last but not least federal.
We got the people power, why for crying out loud don't we use it?
Lets All stand up and their Game is over
Because they have enforcers bought and equipped with your own money, many of whom are confused about why they are in the position they are. They joined "to help people" but if they don't do what they are told at roll call, they're out of a job and their family goes hungry. They were selected because they were willing to use force. Sometimes (against criminals) this is appropriate but there are those among them who want to move up that are not above being used by the powers that be for their ends if they get something out of the deal. These are Law Enforcement Officers, but not Peace Officers. Those are the people you will face if you take to the streets to tear down the corruption that has taken root while you were pursuing your own day to day life, and not paying attention. There are more of you than of them, but you were disarmed years ago "for your own protection". Do you see now who's protection it really was for? It was for THEIR protection, from YOU. They knew this day might come, when you'd had enough, and they wanted you ill equipped to resist if that day ever came. Suckers.....
It is said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. People in Canada are more apathetic than vigilant, far too slow to speak up, (don't want to be like those Americans you know) and quite frankly were very easily used by the politicians of the last 45-50 years.
You get the government you are willing to accept. It must be asked, why were you willing to accept this? Why was Gordon Campbell not tarred and feathered when he and his cronies stole BC Hydro? When agricultural land was reclassified and sold to crooked developers, where were you? When drug dealers stand openly in the streets selling their poison, did you attack these predators as a decent civilized person should? You did none of these things. "Not your problem." Yes it is, IT'S YOUR FAULT. You allowed the thieves and the charlatans to do what they wanted with no EFFECTIVE resistance. Maybe you said what Baaaah-d (sheeple sound) people they were. So what, do you think they care for your opinion? And IF anyone attacked these predators and parasites, you would probably agree with your oppressors when they cried out that they were being victimized.
Go back to watching TV, stuffing your face and paying your taxes slave, and let your betters rule you.

The opening minutes of the game were back and forth as neither team could find the back of the net, but eventually the Pelicans broke through and took a 7-1 lead into halftime, thanks in part to an impressive performance from junior Jenna Donohue, who recorded four goals, six draw controls, three assists, and two ground balls by the end of the game. Senior co-captains Maddie Corsetti (three goals) and Abby Kuhns (three goals) also had big games for the Pelicans.
On the defensive end, sophomore Grace Murphy scooped up three ground balls and forced a caused turnover while junior goalkeeper Gisele Todd had four interceptions from the cage.
The Pelicans will rest over the weekend before a three-game Founders League stretch next week, beginning with a game at Ethel Walker on Monday, April 15, at 4:45 p.m.

The phytoplankton onset following the spring ice break-up in Adélie Land, East Antarctica, was studied along a short transect, from 400 m off the continent to 5 km offshore, during the austral summer of 2002. Eight days after the ice break-up, some large colonial and solitary diatom cells, known to be associated with land-fast ice and present in downward fluxes, were unable to adapt in ice-free waters, while some other solitary and short-colony forming taxa (e.g., Fragilariopsis curta, F. cylindrus) did develop. Pelagic species were becoming more abundant offshore, replacing the typical sympagic (ice-associated) taxa. Archaeomonad cysts, usually associated with sea ice, were recorded in the surface waters nearshore. Rough weather restricted the data set, but we were able to confirm that some microalgae may be reliable sea-ice indicators and that seeding by sea ice only concerns a few taxa in this coastal area of East Antarctica.
