Il cappero (Capparis spinosa L., 1753) è un piccolo arbusto o suffrutice ramificato a portamento prostrato-ricadente della famiglia Capparaceae. Della pianta si consumano i boccioli, detti capperi, e più raramente i frutti, noti come cucunci o frutti di cappero. Entrambi si conservano sott'olio, sotto aceto o sotto sale.

Descrizione

Il portamento è cespitoso, con fusto subito ramificato e rami lignificati solo nella parte basale, spesso molto lunghi, dapprima eretti, poi striscianti o ricadenti.

Le foglie sono alterne e picciolate, a lamina subrotonda e a margine intero, glabre o finemente pelose, di consistenza carnosa. La forma della lamina è ovata, il margine è liscio, le nervature sono pennate e non è una foglia composta. Il nome dato alla specie è dovuto alla presenza, alla base del picciolo, di due stipole trasformate in spine. Nella varietà inermis, la più comune, le stipole sono erbacee e cadono precocemente.

I fiori sono solitari, ascellari, lungamente peduncolati, vistosi. Calice e corolla sono tetrameri, composti rispettivamente da 4 sepali verdi e 4 petali bianchi. L'androceo è composto da numerosi stami rosso-violacei, provvisti di filamenti molto lunghi. L'ovario è supero, con stimma sessile.

Il frutto è una capsula oblunga e verde, a forma di fuso, portata da un peduncolo di 2–3 cm, fusiforme e carnosa, con polpa di colore rosaceo. Contiene numerosi semi reniformi, neri o giallastri, di 1–2 mm di dimensioni. A maturità si apre con una fessura longitudinale. Comunemente i frutti sono chiamati cucunci o cocunci.

Tassonomia
Secondo il sistema Cronquist la famiglia delle Capparaceae apparteneva all'ordine Capparales; l'Angiosperm Phylogeny Group la assegna all'ordine dei Brassicales sin dalla classificazione APG III.

Ciclo fenologico
La pianta entra in riposo durante i mesi freddi. In piena primavera riprende l'attività vegetativa e fiorisce nei mesi di maggio e giugno. La fioritura si protrae durante l'estate in condizioni di umidità favorevoli e in tarda estate riprende d'intensità per diminuire progressivamente al sopraggiungere dell'autunno.

Distribuzione e habitat
Il cappero è coltivato fin dall'antichità ed è diffuso in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo e in Asia occidentale fino all'Oman. È spontaneo solo su substrati calcarei: nel suo ambiente naturale cresce sulle rupi calcaree, nelle falesie, su vecchie mura, formando spesso cespi con rami ricadenti lunghi anche diversi metri. È una pianta eliofila e xerofila con esigenze idriche limitatissime.

Note colturali
Pur essendo una pianta rupicola, il cappero trae vantaggio dalla coltivazione in piena terra e irrigato moderatamente ha uno sviluppo più rigoglioso, producendo fiori da maggio a ottobre. Si propaga per seme o preferibilmente per talee. La talea si esegue in estate, prelevando un pezzo di 7–10 cm di un ramo legnoso di 2-3 anni d'età, quindi lo si pone in una cassetta riempita di torba e sabbia.

Per favorire la radicazione è consigliato l'uso di polveri radicanti. Formatesi le radici, si prelevano le piantine e si invasano singolarmente in vasetti di circa 10 cm di diametro. La propagazione per seme è difficoltosa dato che la germinazione dei semi è buona solo se i semi sono seminati immediatamente dalla raccolta dai frutti, è invece molto difficoltosa (germinabilità del 5 - 10%) quando entrano in dormienza (cioè si essiccano), la preparazione con semi in acqua calda e poi in ammollo per qualche giorno aumenta la germinabilità. La possibilità di germinazione aumenta anche qualora la semina venga eseguita nei mesi invernali (dicembre - gennaio).

Si semina in cassette, riempite di torba e sabbia, lasciate all'aperto nel periodo estivo e riparate in autunno–inverno. Nella primavera successiva si può trapiantare la nuova pianta direttamente nel terreno o singolarmente in un vaso. La semina può avvenire anche direttamente nelle fessure di muri a secco ben esposti al sole in autunno. Occorre però inserire i semi pressati in una manciata di muschio che proteggerà il seme durante l'inverno e lo terrà umido, altra soluzione: inserire dei semi dentro un fico maturo, o in una zolletta di fango pressato inserendo poi il tutto nella fessura del muro. Le piantine nasceranno verso maggio-giugno.

Utilizzi

Culinario

Le proprietà aromatiche sono contenute nei boccioli del fiore, comunemente chiamati capperi. Utilizzati in gastronomia da millenni, si raccolgono ancora chiusi e si conservano in macerazione sotto sale o sotto aceto. I capperi sono solitamente usati per aromatizzare le pietanze e si sposano bene con una grande varietà di cibi: dalla carne, al pesce, alla pasta.

Il frutto, di sapore simile ma più delicato del cappero, è detto cucuncio, cocuncio o capperone e si trova in commercio sotto sale, sott'olio o sotto aceto. È usato tradizionalmente nella cucina eoliana per condire piatti di pesce. Gli eoliani usano anche dissalare i cucunci o i capperi e consumarli al pari di una qualsiasi verdura, di solito in insalata. In ambito culinario vengono utilizzate anche le giovani foglie come insalata, previa cottura per pochi minuti in acqua bollente.

L'ampia diffusione in Sicilia e l'uso tradizionale che se ne fa nella cucina siciliana hanno portato i capperi ad essere inseriti nella lista dei prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali italiani (PAT) del Ministero delle politiche agricole alimentari e forestali (MiPAAF) come prodotto tipico siciliano.
Il Cappero di Pantelleria ha invece ottenuto l'Indicazione geografica protetta (IGP). Fin dall'antichità è diffusa la credenza che attribuisce proprietà afrodisiache al cappero.

Medicinale
I capperi contengono più quercetina in rapporto al peso di ogni altra pianta. In erboristeria è utilizzata la corteccia della radice. I principi attivi hanno proprietà diuretiche e protettrici dei vasi sanguigni. Può essere utilizzata nella cura della gotta, delle emorroidi, delle varici. Un infuso preparato con radici di cappero e germogli giovani era utilizzato in medicina popolare per alleviare i reumatismi.

In 1854 Renoir began work as a painter in a porcelain factory in Paris, gaining experience with the light, fresh colors that were to distinguish his Impressionist work and also learning the importance of good craftsmanship. His predilection towards light-hearted themes was also influenced by the great Rococco masters, whose works he studied in the Louvre. In 1862 he entered the studio of Gleyre and there formed a lasting friendship with Monet, Sisley, and Bazille. He painted with them in the Barbizon district and became a leading member of the group of Impressionists who met at the Café Guerbois. His relationship with Monet was particularly close at this time, and their paintings of the beauty spot called La Grenouillère done in 1869 (an example by Renoir is in the National Museum, Stockholm) are regarded as the classic early statements of the Impressionist style.
Like Monet, Renoir endured much hardship early in his career, but he began to achieve success as a portraitist in the late 1870s and was freed from financial worries after the dealer Paul Durand-Ruel began buying his work regularly in 1881. By this time Auguste Renoir had 'travelled as far as Impressionism could take me', and a visit to Italy in 1881-82 inspired him to seek a greater sense of solidarity in his work. The change in attitude is seen in The Umbrellas (National Gallery, London), which was evidently begun before the visit to Italy and finished afterwards; the two little girls on the right are painted with the feathery brush-strokes characteristic of his Impressionist manner, but the figures on the left are done in a crisper and drier style, with duller coloring. After a period of experimentation with what he called his `manière aigre', his harsh or sour manner, in the mid 1880s, he developed a softer and more supple kind of handling. At the same time he turned from contemporary themes to more timeless subjects, particularly nudes, but also pictures of young girls in unspecific settings.
As his style became grander and simpler he also took up mythological subjects (The Judgement of Paris; Hiroshima Museum of Art; 1913-14), and the female type he preferred became more mature and ample. In the 1890s Renoir began to suffer from rheumatism, and from 1903 (by which time he was world-famous) he lived in the warmth of the south of France. The rheumatism eventually crippled him, by 1912 he was confined to a wheelchair, but he continued to paint until the end of his life, and in his last years he also took up sculpture, directing assistants, usually Richard Guino, a pupil of Maillol, to act as his hands (Venus Victorious; Tate, London; 1914).
Auguste Renoir is perhaps the best-loved of all the Impressionists, for his subjects—pretty children, flowers, beautiful scenes, above all lovely women—have instant appeal, and he communicated the joy he took in them with great directness. `Why shouldn't art be pretty?', he said, `There are enough unpleasant things in the world.' He was one of the great worshippers of the female form, and he said `I never think I have finished a nude until I think I could pinch it.' One of his sons, the celebrated film director Jean Renoir (1894-1979), wrote a lively and touching biography, Renoir, My Father, in 1962.

Bradley commends Senate Finance Committee vote to pass NH Health Protection Plan reauthorization
March 28, 2016 by Periklis Karoutas in Press Releases, Uncategorized
Concord, NH -The Senate Finance Committee today voted ought to pass on HB 1696, a bill to reauthorize the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan for two years. Without this legislation, the current plan is set to end in December 2016.
Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) issued a statement following the Finance Committees vote on HB 1696.
"I want to thank the Senators who voted for HB 1696 today because it means we are one step closer to providing continuity of care through access to private health insurance for 48,000 New Hampshire citizens currently part of the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan.
"The program has allowed more than 6,000 individuals access to critical substance abuse treatment programs amidst a heroin crisis in our state that is the most significant public health emergency in recent memory. This program has also significantly reduced the cost of uncompensated care at hospitals by nearly $150 million, which has put a break on the rise of health insurance costs for New Hampshire citizens since it began 18 months ago."
"This new legislation has strengthened taxpayer protections and ensures that any funding for the program is outside of the State's general fund, and is in no way supported by taxpayer dollars."
"We've built this plan in HB 1696 to be reflective of the original intent of the program, which means we have a New Hampshire specific plan that provides access by low income families to private health insurance using federal dollars and I believe it is the right thing to do for New Hampshire citizens."
The Senate will vote on HB 1696 this Thursday during Session.

Q: Implement a simple lookAt-like camera in Direct2D I'm making a small game with Direct2D in C++ and I'm in the point where I need a camera because some levels are bigger than the screen width and height so that the player can see all the level.
So my question is how to implement a camera system in Direct2D?

A: ID2D1RenderTarget::SetTransform can be used to implement a 2D camera.  All drawing operations will first apply the transform, which is a 3x2 matrix and therefore fully capable of representing a camera with translation, rotation, scale, and skew (though you probably shouldn't let your camera skew the scene).  As for how to generate the matrix, look at the helper functions in the D2D1::Matrix3x2F class and check out this article on applying transforms.
As for an actual look-at camera, if you want to have look-at coordinate c in the center of a target of size s, you would set the translation to (s / 2) - c.

Q: Unable to loop the files to perform diff in python I am new to python. I am writing a python script to find the diff between 2 html file1: beta.vidup.me-log-2016-09-21-17:43:28.html and file2: beta.vidup.me-log-2016-09-21-17:47:48.html.
To give an idea about my file organization: I have 2 directories 2016-09-21 and 2016-09-22. file1: beta.vidup.me-log-2016-09-21-17:43:28.html is present in dir1 and file2: beta.vidup.me-log-2016-09-21-17:47:48.html is present in dir2.
Below is my snippet:
dir1 = raw_input("Enter date of Archive folder to compare with in format yyyy-mm-dd---->\n")
dir2 = raw_input("Enter date of folder to compare in format yyyy-mm-dd----->\n")

now = datetime.now()
folder_output = '/home/diff_output/{}'.format(now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))

mkdir(folder_output)

fname1 = '/home/output/%s/beta.vidup.me-log-2016-09-21-17:43:28.html'%dir1
fname2 = '/home/output/%s/beta.vidup.me-log-2016-09-21-17:47:48.html'%dir2

# Open file for reading in text mode (default mode)
f1 = open(fname1)
f2 = open(fname2)

cmd = "diff "+fname1+'\t'+fname2
curl = subprocess.Popen(cmd,shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

file_data = curl.stdout.read()
print file_data

fname1.close()
fname2.close()

I wish to perform diff using the subprocess module only.
I want my code to take fname1 from dir1 and fname2 from dir2 and perform the diff and output it to a folder and Loop back to pick the next file in dir1 for fname1 and next file from dir2 for fname2 and perform the diff again.
Thanks for your time and advice in advance.

A: Below are the functions you need with examples. Merge them using the logic with for loop.
You can use subprocess.check_output() to get output from the command. Try:
cmd = ["diff", fname1, +fname2]
output = subprocess.check_output(cmd)
print output

if you want to write this to file:
with open('/paht/to/file', 'w+') as f:
    f.write(output)

In order to get list of files in directory, use listdir(), isfile and join functions of os module. For example:
from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
only_files = [f for f in listdir('path') if isfile(join('path', f))]
# only_files will contain list of all files in 'path' path

As you mentioned, you don't have much idea on loop. To give you the basic idea on how your loop should work. Below is the example (instead of copying, try to understand each line. it'll be helpful for you in future):
for f1, f2 in zip(file_list_1, file_list_2): # takes first, second, etc files corresponding to each list
    output = subprocess.check_output(['diff', f1, f2]) # generate diff of both file
    with open('diff-{}-{}'.format(f1, f2), 'w+') as f:
        f.write(output)  # write the diff to third file

Modify the above logic as per your requirement.

NOWs: Simulacra by Elín Hansdóttir
15 December - 04 February 2016 / Nows

Elín Hansdóttir, Simulacra 9, 2016. Photograph, 80 x 120 cm. Courtesy of the artist and i8 Gallery, Reykjavik
Elín Hansdóttir: Simulacra
i8 Gallery | Tryggvagata 16 | 101 Reykjavik | Iceland
In Simulacra, artist Elín Hansdóttir radically alters the gallery space and then returns it to its original state with only photographs serving as evidence. When viewers enter the gallery they see nine nearly identical photographs depicting a prosaic scene – a bouquet of flowers. Upon closer inspection, however, the scene becomes strange, as the flowers are depicted hovering in the center of the gallery where the building's support column is located, literally defying gravity and logic. And as viewers scan one photograph after another the flowers seem to devolve from a state of bloom to death, as if the deterioration within a Dutch still painting has been divided into cells for a stopmotion animation film.
To create this illusion Hansdóttir used techniques derived from the early years of Hollywood cinema, which she innovated for her own purposes. In this installation she photographed a bouquet of flowers over a period of one month and from these images painted glass mattes, which she installed around the gallery's column. The artist then photographed the column, which, courtesy of the matte paintings around it, seemed to disappear. The glass mattes were then removed. Upon entering the gallery viewers will anxiously look from the photographs on the wall to the site they depict, finding only a support column in the gallery but expecting more. Whether miracle or a trick, these photographs at i8 depict an event that interrupts the scene of normality, and such events, as Alain Badiou notes, reveal the multiplicity that lies at the foundation of reality, shaking our sense of continuity.
As in prior installations by this artist the viewer serves as a catalyst. In Trace (2010), for example, viewers scan the wall like a film projector, piecing together still images into a coherent narrative. Similarly, in Path (2008) viewers walk down a corridor as they attempt to assemble a host of discrete and ungrounded experiences into a phenomenological whole. And in Suspension of Disbelief (2015) Hansdóttir introduces the glass matte technique, thereby obliging viewers to composite installation with representational imagery. While she continues in this manner Simulacra is more about time than space. It is also more layered and more explicitly about history. It thus compels viewers to do a different kind of work than her previous installations do. If un lieu de mémoire is a spatial marker indicating a mnemonic absence, this installation comes at the problem of memory from multiple angles. The artist's layered process serves as an index to the different rhythms that once infused daily life—the quick clip of stop-motion cinema, the languorous stillness of the still life painting, the "decisive moment" of photography, and the timelessness of religious symbolism. Conversely, these invoked rhythms suggest that the contemporary gallery—with its white walls, cement floor, and central support column—buries memory. Such memories reemerge in Simulacra uninvited.

NOWs: Sophia Pompéry: Texture, 2016 at The Pan Tadeusz Museum ILLEGIBILITY.PALIMPSESTS Opening: Friday, 16 December 2016, 6 PM The phenomenon of illegibility and the accumulation of layers of script is the subject of the new temporary exhibition at the Pan Tadeusz Museum. The exhibition includes works e.g. by Andrzej Bednarczyk, Irma Blank, Zbigniew Libera, Sophia Pompéry and Andrzej Szewczyk. Most of us have experienced writing down a note which is later illegible, even to ourselves; it has occurred to almost everyone that we failed to decipher someone else's scribbling, or have come across a system of signs that we couldn't understand. How do we feel then: irritated, helpless, powerless? Or perhaps, in those conditions, when the desire for meaning evades us so blatantly, do we discover perception of different kind, where the script becomes a material phenomenon in itself, a fascinating ornament, a code without information? We see scripts which are visible, but not legible. The notion of a palimpsest appears to be closely related to illegibility. This term describes a manuscript written on previously used material. A palimpsest involves layers of overwritten script, in which the old layers eventually begin to reappear from below the new, making the writing less legible, if at all. I would certainly describe the exhibition at the Pan Tadeusz Museum in Wrocław as a palimpsest in itself, because it was developed on the basis of the first "layer", namely the exhibition "Illegibility. The Contexts of Script", which took place at the Art Stations Foundation by Grażyna Kulczyk in Poznań (February – May 2016). Yet the nature of a palimpsest involves a continuous process, hence the exhibition in Wrocław carries a different title and includes an expanded set of works. The works collected at the Illegibility – Palimpsests exhibition are located not only in the temporary exhibition space, but also seamlessly infiltrate the rooms of the permanent exhibition at the Pan Tadeusz Museum. The opening of the exhibition, on Friday 16 December at 6 PM, includes a performance by Ewa Partum from her Active Poetry series (free entry). *** Artists: Andrzej Bednarczyk, Jan Berdyszak, Marcin Berdyszak, Irma Blank, Witosław Czerwonka, Małgorzata Dawidek, Irmina Felińska, Katarzyna Giełżyńska, Krzysztof Gliszczyński, Roma Hałat, Jakub Jasiukiewicz, Sasaguchi Kazz, Hacer Kıroğlu, Piotr Korzeniowski, Andrzej Leśnik, Zbigniew Libera, Navid Nuur, Franciszek Orłowski, Michał Martychowiec, Ewa Partum, Ireneusz Pierzgalski, Sophia Pompéry, Ketty La Rocca, Antoni Starczewski, Tamás St. Auby, Zbigniew Sałaj, Andrzej Szewczyk, Jan Tarasin, Endre Tót, Marian Warzecha, Marek Wasilewski, Bogdan Wojtasiak Curator: Dr hab.

These complex environments are further activated by Korb's rituals in which the spectator is guided through a ceremonial interaction with the various sculptures and objects. With each exhibition space representing a different stage of consciousness, the spectator experiences Kaya Cynara as a successively developing relationship between virtual and actual, nature and technology, inside and outside. Korb's work reflects on the ontological convergence of these myriad spheres within our hyper-mediated present and the generative role of the human within this complex ecosystem.

In the spring of 1914, seventy-five years old and two years into retirement, the Reverend Joseph Hopkins Twichell lived quietly on Woodland Street in Hartford, enjoying his fame by association with Mark Twain, now dead for four years, and his own satisfying fame as pastor emeritus of Asylum Hill Congregational Church. He was a man who loved anniversaries, and it was only incurable deafness and exhaustion from unaccustomed grief and loss that had prevented him from reaching the fifty-year mark at the brownstone church on Asylum Avenue. His beloved wife, Harmony, had died four years before in the same month that he lost Samuel L. Clemens. His shock of hair and prominent mustache were a vivid white; sometimes the newspapers said he resembled Mark Twain, but combed.
His life was now largely circumscribed by his Italianate white-clapboard house, his upstairs study with the mounted oar from Yale days and the saddle from war days, and his back lawn with its copse of silver birch trees. An unmarried daughter, Susan Twichell, took care of him, and he basked in the visits of his other eight children, some of whom brought husbands, wives, and grandchildren to vary his days. The closing in of his life had also brought Twichell's retirement from the Corporation of Yale University. He had been elected in 1874 and eventually became its senior member. When he retired, Twichell put aside his aversion to honorary degrees at his fellow corporators' insistence and became a doctor of divinity. Newspaper reporters often sought him out, and he trotted out much-exercised Mark Twain stories: how Clemens had visited Harriet Beecher Stowe with his collar absent-mindedly open, then sent a butler with the tie to make the visit complete; how the two men chatted with the Prince of Wales in Bad Nauheim, Clemens flourishing his ragged black umbrella in the royal visage for emphasis; and how Clemens complained, one Sunday morning at Asylum Hill Church, that Twichell's sermon had been too interesting and kept him from his own thoughts. "I know what you want of me," Twichell told a New York Sun reporter,"—that is, to tell you about Mark Twain." So he was uncomfortable on this April day in 1914 to hear J. Olin Howe, a reporter from the Boston Evening Transcript, add a question about a violent and disturbing incident from Twichell's student days.
A decade before he met Clemens, Twichell had been involved in a Yale town-gown riot in which a fireman was killed, and the reporter asked if the incident had affected him enough to lead to his entering the ministry. "No," Twichell told the reporter, "I'm not aware that that incident had any important bearing on my future. I had intended to go into the ministry. Oh yes, the story is true enough. And the fireman died. I didn't fire the shot, though."
"That was a long time ago," he added. "I've never talked about it."
It was a long time ago, fifty-six years. On a winter evening in February 1858, about a dozen Yale College students stood on High Street, on the edge of the college campus, where the spires and castellations of modern Gothic contrasted with the utilitarian brick of the eighteenth century.
The students faced five or six town boys, themselves young enough to be college students if they had only had the means and schooling. But these were workmen of New Haven, volunteer firemen guarding the wide door of Fountain Company Number Two, blacksmiths and joiners, gilders and marble cutters, laborers and mechanics in the city's carriage manufacturing trade. In the previous months, they had been prodded to anger by the students marching New Haven's elm-shadowed streets singing college songs—solemn university hymns like Gaudeamus Igitur and rowdier ditties like "We Don't Care a Darn While We're at Yale." The students were members of an eating club, the Crocodiles, and took their meals at Mrs. Maria Bishop's house just around the corner, which meant they had to pass the engine house six times a day. Habit bred anger. The firemen believed the singing was meant to annoy them as they tended and washed their new pump engine, and that the students had tried to disrupt a fire company banquet celebrating the new engine by blowing a horn. This Tuesday evening they were sure the students had rattled a club along the firehouse's picket fence as a taunt.
The night before, as the students passed the engine house, the youngest and most bellicose of the volunteers, William Miles, had doused student Eugene Smith with water from a bucket. Smith's fashionable shawl was soaked, along with his low-crowned, wide-brimmed hat. (It was a style popular among Yale students for its associations with the popular Protestant rebel Louis Kossuth of Hungary. Yale students, then as now, had a taste for combining the revolutionary with the stylish.) Miles, the fire company's steward, had wryly claimed the soaking was a mistake—he was only tossing out water after cleaning the engine, he said. In one version of the story, Smith vowed he would come back the next day for a fight.
Now it was the next evening, and Smith was back. He stood with his friend Joseph Twichell, known to classmates for his jet-black hair, gray eyes, and easily tanned skin as "Injun Joe," in the group facing the firemen. Twichell, like Miles, was nineteen years old. He was the son of a small-town Connecticut deacon who had attended school only briefly as a boy, but had become wealthy enough from his tannery and carriage hardware business to send his son to train at Yale with the sons of judges, college presidents, and bankers in the class of 1859. The students may well have rattled a club along the firemen's fence: they had prepared for a fight. At least three of the group—Twichell, Smith, and their friend Edward Carrington—had armed themselves with pistols. Carrington, one of the top intellects of the class of 1859, had distributed the pistols during the noon meal. Miles, for his part, had also grabbed up weapons: a battered brass speaking horn in one hand, and a heavy iron hose wrench in the other.
The confrontation began when Miles emerged from the station to challenge the students, but now things were calming down. It seemed that it all might end in a truce. Twichell tried to be a conciliator, walking straight up to Miles in the gathering evening and trying to get him to agree that the students had the right to sing in the street. Miles may have conveyed a grudging agreement. Twichell felt superior to the young fireman in front of him. He later wrote his father that he and his friends had always treated the firemen with respect, "passing by with contempt many indignities which we could not have brooked from equals." Twichell, one witness later said, put his hand on Miles's shoulder in a gesture of friendship.
At that moment fireman reinforcements arrived down High Street, evening up the odds. "Now damn them, let them have it," Miles shouted, and he raised the brass horn and struck Twichell a blow on the shoulder. Twichell ducked and warded it off with his arm, the horn clattering to the pavement. Miles raised the iron wrench, but a shot was fired among the milling boys, and then more shots. Dim forms collided in the night. A knife came out and slashed shreds in a fireman's shirt.
An article about the confrontation appeared in the February 13th, 1858 edition of the Hartford Courant.
The fire crew turned and ran to the engine house. Inside, Miles staggered against the company's assistant foreman, Jerome W. Hayward, and said, "I am shot." Hayward settled Miles in a chair and looked for a wound. "I guess you ain't shot," he said, but Miles said, "It's down a little lower." Hayward later testified, "I looked further and sure enough there was a hole there. It was on the right side near his back bone, in the small of the back." Doctors called to the engine house could not extract the bullet, which was believed to have entered Miles's stomach. Miles spent the next day and a half dying in unbearable pain.
Over the next two months a coroner's jury called witnesses in the case, and the Yale administration, led by President Theodore Dwight Woolsey and the faculty, found itself both protecting the students from the town's fury and trying to see that justice was done. Advised by two top-flight attorneys, the students pleaded the Fifth Amendment and pledged among themselves that they would never reveal who killed Miles. The coroner's jury could not gather enough evidence to bring charges. But one professor, Thomas Thacher, played detective, and learned that Twichell, Smith, and Carrington had all been armed; the three were suspended for much of the spring. Indignant at being made an example, they enjoyed the savor of shared persecution.
"I did not fire a shot," Twichell reported to his father in a letter written the day Miles died. "I was the person who was first struck and narrowly escaped a second blow." The letter to his father was full of injured innocence and deep religious feeling. The shooting of Miles had been an act of self-defense, he told Edward Twichell, the same thing he told the Boston reporter fifty-six years later. When Twichell recalled this period later in life, he did not speak of Miles's death but of the intense spiritual revival that was its backdrop. It was as though the death of a man was an incidental event in a great drama of salvation that was occupying the country. Even late in life, he remembered this as a time of comradeship, study, athletics, and piety. There were "evidences that the goodness of God has touched the hearts of many," he wrote his father.
...It is true the fireman died, as the old minister told the reporter. The reporter had good instincts when he suggested the killing might have had something to do with Twichell's entering the ministry, despite Twichell's insistence that he had already planned on the course. Correspondence of the time makes it clear that he did not make that decision until after he graduated from Yale. It was there in the college riot in the dark that the man Twichell was born, far from the landscape of his childhood, a place of light and truth by comparison.

Ryan defends Ashley saying, 'People have to realize being 'The Bachelorette' is hard. And he claims that it was wrong of bad boy Bentley to prey on her!
Bachelorette Ashley Hebert may have broken Ryan Park's heart more than once, but he doesn't hold it against her. Instead, Ryan chooses to defend Ashley. He thinks it's horrible that people like Bentley Williams are attacking Ashley for her insecurities!
"People give their opinions and what not, but what people have to realize is being The Bachelorette is hard," Ryan says during a conference call, July 28. "There's consistent — so much scrutiny."
Ryan knows that people are bound to see your flaws, especially when you star on The Bachelorette. "You have to be on everyday, all day long. I guess whatever flaws I humanly have or whatever — I get tendencies, if they're even called flaws — are going to be magnified exponentially," he explains. "It's no secret that Ashley has — she's just a normal girl that came from a small town and gets catapulted into the spotlight, and it's no secret that yeah, she has insecurity and some of her self confidence can be somewhat low."
"But it's just unfortunate that she's been attacked so badly for her insecurities and then the elephant in the room, Bentley, and how he preyed on that unfortunately," he continues.
And even though Ryan didn't end up with Ashley himself, he is happy that she has found someone to take care of her. "That's why whoever ends up with her, whether it be J.P. [Rosebaum] or Ben [Flajnik], I believe that either one of those gentlemen will help make her feel stronger about herself," he says.
Ryan's glad that Ashley was The Bachelorette over any other girl. "I care for her deeply and I'm very happy it was her, so," he shares.

By admin , in Money , at December 13, 2017
Paramount Network is adding a sketch comedy to its development slate. The network, which will replace Spike on Jan. 18, has teamed with Latino digital-media company mitú for Browntown, a half-hour sketch comedy series aimed at Latino millenials.
It is part of the efforts by Paramount Net, whose goal is to become a general entertainment network, to expand the scope of its original offerings to include all types of shows – dramas, comedies, non-scripted half- hours, docuseries, documentaries and sports. With Browntown, the network also is targeting the underserved young Latino audiences in the U.S.
Browntown, which is now in development, is based on a format by mitú co-founder Doug Greiff. It will be set in a fictional, predominantly Latino neighborhood designed to reflect today's diverse America, and will feature a multicultural cast of emerging comics, improv actors, popular social influencers and celebrity cameos. Each half-hour episode will feature recurring characters from the Browntown neighborhood, and revolve around a central theme designed to bring awareness and celebrate issues that are especially relevant to Latino youth in America. Episodes will consist of studio-based sketches, digital shorts, music parodies, animated shorts, and more. Cast details to be announced at a later date.
Greiff and fellow mitú co-founder Beatriz Acevedo will executive produce the series. The project comes on the heels of mitú's announcement last week of the restructuring of its development, production and talent teams led by former Universal/One Race Films executive David Ortiz, and is part of the company's efforts to double down on development and long-form content.

British households face disposable income fall
British households will have £43bn less cash available for essential spending between April and June, as the UK slides into its deepest recession in decades.
Disposable income earned by UK households, once it has been adjusted for tax and benefits, will be 17% lower in the second quarter of this year, according to analysis from the Centre for Economics and Business Research consultancy.
The CEBR has calculated the monthly hit to disposable incomes will reach £14.2bn per month, meaning a monthly fall of £515 per household as workers lose their jobs, accept reduced pay or hours, or are placed on furlough.
Economic data due this week is expected to show early signs of the pandemics impact on the economy, even before workers income is fully hit. UK retail sales are expected to have fallen by up to 10% in March.
"These numbers are likely to be awful, supermarket food sales notwithstanding," said Michael Hewson of CMC Markets. While food sales surged in the runup to the lockdown, demand ..

Novotel Phu Quoc is located in Cua Lap with a beautiful beachfront location. The hotel offers wide range of luxurious room types and high standard services that help you have a perfect holiday when staying here.
Novotel Phu Quoc was the first internationally managed property on the island to receive this accolade. VNAT sets rigorous standards for its star ratings, with five stars denoting the highest possible standards of physical facilities, service quality, and ability to meet diverse demands.
Lee Pearce, the resort's general manager, said Phu Quoc is a destination with boundless potential and limitless opportunities. As the only international five-star resort on the island, the Novotel is positioned to capture an emerging, upscale segment of the island's tourism market.
"We are confident that the investment of CEO Group, the resort's owner, will pay dividends as the island continues to grow. Indeed, as the nearby airport continues to increase uplift, both domestically and with the addition of new international flights, the prospect for our resort to be at the center of the emergence of this destination is tremendous," Pearce noted.
With total investment capital of nearly VND5 trillion, the resort has 366 rooms and beach-front villas, two swimming pools, two restaurants, two bars, a gym, a spa, a kid's club and a 60,000 square meter landscaped garden.
Novotel Phu Quoc, which has been operational since early this year, is situated on Truong (long) Beach and is 15 minutes away from Phu Quoc International Airport.


Depending on the nature of your business, it might be wise to impress clients when you take long trips for meetings. That could mean putting them up in a fancy hotel and treating them to an expensive meal. It could also mean making sure you create the best impression with your hire car. That is what we'll focus on during this article. You might have to drive your clients around during the trip, and so you want to make the best impression possible. We'll show you how to select a hire car that will blow them away.
There are thousands of different models you could hire from most manufacturers. So, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding something that offers style and sophistication. Exotic car rental is always a good idea, but you need to refrain from sporting colors. As you can see from the image attached to this post. Ferrari models and those from similar brands can look stunning in darker and more professional shades. You will stand out on the roads in a machine like that regardless of the color. So, there is no need to select the common reds and yellows we always see. Get something blue, gray, or black for the best results when trying to impress your clients.
Before you hire your car, it's vital that you do some research into the reliability of the model. The last thing you want is an expensive supercar that is going to breakdown as soon as you collect your client. Of course, you can't predict the future, and so there is no way of knowing if something will go wrong. However, the reviews and ratings you'll find online can give you a basic idea of how the models perform as a whole.
Lastly, you will want to get something fast and comfortable. We all know that traveling faster than the speed limit is illegal. However, there are no laws relating to how long you should spend reaching the speed limit. Get something that can do naught to sixty in less than six seconds if you want to stun your clients. Also, you should always pay a little more to get the premium interior solutions. Presuming you have to travel a long distance, leather seats are going to make a lot of difference.
The only other things you need to think about relate to space, fuel economy, and safety records. Never hire a car without first researching how experts rate it for safety. Most of the models on the market today perform well, but there are lots of obscure editions out there. Ferrari only made around five-hundred 430 models for general sale. That means you probably wouldn't hear too much about common issues through alternative means. All the information you require is freely available online.
Those of you who want to save the planet are in the wrong game. You won't find an economical car that will create the response you're after. Most of the best models around today have two, three, or even four-liter engines. So, your eco-warrior ambitions need to take a back seat.

So another interview of Utada! Man, she's been busy lately, the promotion sure is going a lot better than back in 2004 with "Exodus". The interview is can be found here on Asiance Magazine. If you're fast, you can see here all over the front page.
The interview is really nice, again more on her as a person than just her music. They talk about her life in New York, Tokyo, humidity (yes, humidity), a bit about her going to college and her skincare products if you're interested. And I have to say, her skin really does look good actually. They also have a new picture of her here. So check out the interview!

How different economies plan to bounce back from Coronavirus
And what are the differences in alternative countries across the globe?
The impact of the coronavirus has been pronounced this year, with the global economy poised to contract by 4.9% by the end of 2020.
Developed economies such as the UK and the US have been hit particularly hard, with the former contracting by a staggering 19.8% in Q2 alone and experiencing the worst slump of any major economy.
But how are economies looking to balance an effective pandemic response with responsible economic management, and what are the differences in alternative countries across the globe?
Coronavirus has turned into a rampant and seemingly unstoppable pandemic in the States, with this region unique in that it has yet to experience a tangible decline in infection rates and fatalities.
This is arguably due to the lack of a coordinated and organized response at federal level, resulting in more 15.7 million cases and an estimated 293,000 fatalities as of December 11th.
However, there is hope in the form of President elect Joe Biden, who has promised to coordinate a nationwide pandemic response while simultaneously investing in renewed green infrastructure, housing and a more inclusive economy.
Referred to as the "Build Back Better" economic recovery plan, Biden's ambitious initiative would cost in excess of $7 trillion and potentially create 10 million clean energy jobs as a way of boosting an ailing economy.
Interestingly, Boris Johnson has used a similar slogan to announce his own green industrial revolution, with the Prime Minister having recently set out a 10-point plan that would mobilize £12 billion in public investment and support up to 250,000 British jobs.
However, the impact of the UK's coronavirus response (including national and tiered lockdown measures) is currently being compounded by Brexit, with the pound continuing to depreciate as the prospect of a no-deal exit begins to impact the GBP in the forex market.
With this in mind, the government is becoming more preoccupied with preserving existing businesses and industries as the end of the year approaches, with the costly furlough having already been extended to the end of March and quarter one in 2021.
The extent of UK borrowing may also delay Boris Johnson's plans to create a greener economy, with 2021 likely to be one of consolidation, minimal growth and recovery.
Here are advantages of globalization.
We close with Asia, which was the first to feel the socio-economic impact of the virus (particularly during Q1) but has managed to embark on a robust recovery during the second half of 2020.
This growth and positive sentiment are set to extend into 2021, with nominal, positive growth expected to return in the first quarter of next year. No nation embodies this better than China, with this economy now set to grow by 2.1% this year (up from the 1.8% forecast in September) and a further 7.7% next year.
Of course, this recovery has been boosted by the experience garnered by Asian nations during the SARS outbreak at the turn of the century, as individual economies shut down quickly while international borders were also closed with immediate effect.
As a result, confidence and productivity has returned to key sectors such as manufacturing and exports, while the subsequent reopening of international borders in early 2021 will also boost fast-growing Southeast Asian nations.

UK's web infrastructure 'will limit' widget TVs
By Marc Chacksfield 2009-06-22T10:27:00.172Z TV
ARM unimpressed by government's 2Mbps speed pledge
Digital Britain broadband pledge not enough
Web-integrated TV sets took a step in the right direction today, with the announcement that ARM processors have been chosen by LG to power its next batch of internet-connected TVs.
Unfortunately for consumers, it looks like the UK's web infrastructure may limit the potential of widget televisions.
Speaking to TechRadar, Jim Wallace, in charge of Home Segment Marketing at ARM, gave his thoughts on last week's 'broadband for all' pledge from the government's Digital Britain report.
"I would like more [than 2Mbps], as that rate will limit the experience for watching HD content on the web. This type of speed limits what you can actually do," he explained.
More speed, better experience
Ideally, Wallace told us, broadband speeds should be around five times higher than the government's pledge for consumers to get the best from their widget TVs.
"The ARM technology demands as much as possible," says Wallace.
"The more speed you can get, the better experience you will have. So, something like 10Mbps would be the ideal speed for [these] TVs, but the more the merrier."
It's not just about connectivity, however, content will be the key for web-connected TVs to hit the mainstream.
Wallace explains: "I was just in Canada last week and the rate of connected TVs in households is growing dramatically. This is obviously great, but it is the content that really matters."
He continues: "Video on demand technology has been around for a while on cable boxes. So the technology for this is already here and consumers are aware of that. But this notion of watching what you want when you want is only going to get better, with things like linking to YouTube, where you can choose exactly what to watch, is going to be key."

Experimental results concerning the behavior of the contrast threshold are given as obtained from about 100,000 responses of the same subject.
The circular test spot of size d between 6.6′ and 8° was projected 7° nasal from the fovea. Green light was used for background and test spot. The stimulus exposure t was varied between 0.02 and 1 second.
So long as d and t are small, the behavior of ΔB/B agrees with the explanation of de Vries: ΔB~B12. The dependence of the sensitivity of the eye on B is calculated from the precise shape of the curve for ΔB as a function of B for these combinations of d and t. The result does not contradict direct measurements of the sensitivity.

6 Broadcaster Press August 4, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com Reining In Regulators BY REP. KRISTI NOEM $1.88 trillion – that's how much federal regulations cost hardworking Americans overall in 2014 alone. $14,976 – that's how much, on average, those regulations cost each of us individually. 500 – that's approximately how many new regulations costing more than $100 million annually have gone into effect since President Obama took office. No matter how you add the numbers up, it is too much. This administration and the federal bureaucracy it controls must be reined in. Period. On July 29, the House of Representatives passed legislation that aims to provide more congressional oversight over the federal regulatory process. More specifically, the REINS Act, which is legislation I cosponsored, would require Congress to approve any regulation that costs the economy more than $100 million annually. That may seem like a high bar, but approximately 80 regulations would have tripped that threshold last year alone. A number of these regulations are derived by the EPA. For instance, last June, the EPA released new greenhouse gas emission standards that apply to new as well as existing power plants. According to an October 2014 study by NERA Economic Consulting, the EPA's proposal could cost consumers and businesses as much as $41 billion per year. Additionally, the Heritage Foundation estimates that by 2030, the costs could rise to a total income loss of more than $7,000 per person. We all want to preserve our environment for future generations, but in a state like South Dakota, the costs associated with a regulation like this could prove devastating. Families in South Dakota that earn less than $50,000 per year already spend one-fifth of their aftertax income on energy costs, which is double the national average. Many can't afford to pay even more. Of course, the EPA's upcharges don't end there. I've heard from many South Dakotans about their concerns with a new "Waters of the U.S." definition that the EPA released. It grossly expands the agency's reach, giving them regulatory authority over many streams, ditches, sloughs, and even areas that are only wet seasonally. The expanded authority would empower them to fine property owners tens of thousands of dollars per violation – per day. The EPA is eager to utilize this authority too. Last year – before the expansion was finalized – the agency threatened to go after a Wyoming farmer for digging a stock dam on his own property. He explains they threatened a $75,000-a-day fine. After heavy pressure from Wyoming's congressional delegation, the EPA backed down. Even so, no farmer, rancher, or citizen should have to endure those unnecessary headaches at the hand of an overzealous federal agency. I share con- cerns that this story won't be the last. Federal regulators shouldn't be able to operate in a bubble. It's time they are forced to think twice before finalizing ill-considered, needlessly costly and simply unnecessary regulations. That is what the REINS Act intends to do. I'm hopeful we can see this necessary legislation move forward in the Senate and make its way to the President's desk. You deserve greater accountability. Tyler Madsen Recieves Scholarship SUBMITTED PHOTO SUBMITTED PHOTO WOLF FAMILY REUNION HELD: The 2015 Wolf Family Reunion was held on July 24, 25, and 26, 2015 at Howard, S.D.
