3 Because you can combine a visit to the Uffizi Gallery and the Vasari Corridor and access two extraordinary places by booking online one single tour
A new tour that will allow you to discover, accompanied by an expert guide, a place of incredible charm, that is usually closed to the public ... the Vasari Corridor in Florence, Italy is a charming secret passage made 5 centuries ago by the Medici family, which connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti. Besides the tickets and visit of the Vasari Corridor, the itinerary includes the entry and the guided visit to the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most visited and renowned Italian museums worldwide.
The Vasari Corridor tour begins with a stroll on the Ponte Vecchio, one of the symbols of Florence, where you will get an initial overview of the Vasari Corridor and enjoy breathtaking views of the Arno River.
The Florence Vasari Corridor tour continues with a visit to the wonderful Uffizi Gallery, a must for those who want to know the city: thanks to our tour 'Uffizi Galleria and Vasari Corridor', you can avoid long queues at the entrance and make the most of your time.
The Uffizi Gallery, built from the mid 1500s, contains some of the most precious works of art in the world: its splendid frescoed rooms house masterpieces by Mantegna, Giotto, Raffaello, Masaccio, Tintoretto, Canaletto, Giorgione, Gentile da Fabriano, Bellini, Tiepolo, Caravaggio, Cimabue, Botticelli and many other famous artists.
Our guide will accompany you to discover this beautiful building - characterized by long corridors and large rooms - and the wonderful works kept inside. We are talking about masterpieces such as La Primavera, the famous painting by Botticelli in 1482, the Adoration of the Kings by Leonardo da Vinci, the painting of Venus of Urbino by Titian and the Double Portrait of the Dukes of Urbino, the work of Piero della Francesca portraying spouses Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza.
On the first floor of the Uffizi Gallery another important section, the Cabinet of Drawings and Prints is located: with more than 150 thousand drawings by Italian and foreign artists from the 14th century to the present day, the exhibition is considered one of the richest and most important international graphic collections.
If you want to admire the most important works of the gallery with the valuable support of an experienced and prepared guide, book on line our tour: the visit to the Uffizi Museum and the Vasari Corridor will give you unforgettable emotions!
The Vasari Corridor walking tour continues with a visit to one of the most charming parts of Florence, the Vasari Corridor, a narrow secret passageway wanted by the Medici that connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti, passing over the Ponte Vecchio.
The long Vasari path in Florence, approximately 1 km, was built in just five months by the architect Giorgio Vasari from Arezzo, from whom it takes its name, and by order of Cosimo I de 'Medici: with the Vasari Corridor on the Ponte Vecchio, the nobleman wanted to offer an alternative route to allow the Grand Dukes to move from their residence to the government palace in complete safety. The work also served to give further prestige to the Medici family as the idea of creating an elevated walkway turned out to be very innovative for that period.
The Vasari Corridor is part of the Uffizi Gallery, and there is direct access from the first floor of the historic building through a normal door: the curious thing is that a lot of visitors from the gallery cannot imagine that over the anonymous passage a priceless treasure is hiding...
It should be noted that because this extraordinary place is usually closed to the public: the Vasari Corrido guided tour take place only with early reservations.
Does the idea of visiting a rarely accessible place – and for this reason making it more fascinating and mysterious - attract you? If the answer is yes, do not waste time and book our Vasari Corridor tour! Admire the amazing works of the Uffizi combined with an exciting visit to the Vasari Corridor!
Crossing the threshold for the Uffizi Vasari Corridor, you will have the impression of being in a parallel dimension: the narrow and quiet hallway will make you breathe an almost surreal atmosphere, completely different from that of the adjacent Uffizi Gallery.
The Vasari Corridor guided tour will allow you to enjoy some of the many works of art housed within it: in addition to the vast collection of Vasari Corridor self-portraits, there are also some fine paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery.
A tour to the Vasari Corridor in Florence is a really exciting experience: you will be fascinated by the wonderful view of the Arno River and, through one of the windows that exist along the walls of the Vasari Corridor, you will see the interior of the Chiesa di Santa Felicità. Just how the Medici used to do to assist to religious functions without being seen!

Gay man who fled Afghanistan aged 10 told by Home Office he could be sent back
A gay man has been told by the Home Office he could be removed to Afghanistan.
Bella Sankey, director of Detention Action, revealed on Wednesday (25 August) that they are working with an undocumented gay Afghan called Ahmad, who has spent the last eight months in detention in the UK.
Ahmad, 29, has been living in the UK since he was just 10 years old, when he arrived as an unaccompanied minor – but he remains in detention and was told just last week that his removal to Afghanistan is "pending" by the Home Office.
The letter was issued despite the fact that the Taliban has seized control in Afghanistan, according to The Times. The extremist military group is known for its harsh approach to women, LGBT+ people and countless others. Under its strict approach to Sharia law, gay men could be stoned to death or crushed by towering walls as punishment for their sexuality.
Speaking to PinkNews, Sankey said Ahmad's case is "not uncommon at all".
"It's a very typical case for us, that somebody came to the UK as an unaccompanied child – lots of Afghan children and teenagers have come since the UK and US invasion in 2001 – Ahmad came when he was 10.
"What happens to people in his situation is they get put in the care system because they are lone children and there are no parents, and then when they reach 18 the Home Office starts removal proceedings against them."
Asylum seekers who have fled Afghanistan could be targeted by the Taliban if returned
Sankey said the practice is "very problematic" for the likes of Ahmad, who grew up in the UK. "The reason he's come is he clearly doesn't have the protection that a child needed in Afghanistan, so I would really question the practice full stop of trying to remove people, children, that come as refugees.
"But this has been standard fare for the Home Office for years and it's obviously not just Afghanistan, it's any country in the world."
Reports from Afghanistan suggest that the Taliban is already introducing its strict version of Sharia law, which could see huge swathes of people executed – including LGBT+ people. And Sankey says that the UK's actions are putting people at risk.

"I think anyone that has travelled to the UK to claim asylum, whether or not they were a Taliban target at the time, would absolutely be a Taliban target now," Sankey said.
"We're hearing that extended family members and interpreters have been executed, so just imagine someone that's travelled all the way to the UK and tried to seek refuge from the Taliban and all of their family members as well."
The Home Office has announced a programme to bring vulnerable Afghans to safety in the UK, with plans to welcome 5,000 refugees in the first year. However, activist groups have been critical of the lack of action surrounding LGBT+ asylum seekers specifically, while others have suggested that the targets are insufficient.
The Home Office have been gravely complicit in these people now facing very real fears for their lives
"Frankly, we don't think what's being offered by the Home Office at the moment is good enough at all," Sankey said. "Five thousand people in the first year doesn't nearly cover the people that they've forcibly removed and we've had no indications that they would seek to prioritise these people – as I say, that will include LGBTQI people who are now fearful for their lives in Kabul. So we think that the Home Office have been gravely complicit in these people now facing very real fears for their lives."

Sankey hopes Ahmad's story shines a light on the "huge discretionary power" the Home Office has when it comes to detention of migrants. "One of the big problems we have with the system is there's no time-limit on detentions. People can languish there for months and years."
Needless to say, sending LGBT+ people back to Afghanistan under Taliban rule would be detrimental. "You can't conceive of a more dangerous situation," Sankey said. "Anybody that's been involved in the liberalising of society is now hugely at risk of torture, execution – it doesn't get more serious."
New legislation could make the situation even worse for asylum seekers
The situation is not good for asylum seekers in the UK right now, but Sankey expects things to become even worse. Legislation is currently making its way through parliament that would "criminalise and deny asylum to anybody that arrives here through any means to claim protection but doesn't come on an official resettlement scheme".
"This is insane, it's unlawful, the UN has spoken out against it. It's absolutely madness, it breaches the Refugee Convention, but it's Priti Patel's flagship law that she's trying to bring forward to deal with the boat crossings," Sankey said.
"What that means – and there's no two ways about it – if an LGBTQI person in Kabul today or the provinces manages somehow to get out of the country by paying smugglers, getting over a land border, if this is law is passed, they would have committed a criminal offence. They wouldn't be allowed to make an asylum claim – it would be deemed inadmissible because of the mode in which they arrived – and they would then be liable to indefinite immigration detention, including in an offshore detention facility in the way that Australia has done and the UK is now exploring.
"You just see the massive contradiction here at the heart of Home Office policy making. It's totally irrational, totally unreasonable, unlawful. You really can't overstate how bad this is."
Detention Action is now hoping members of parliament will vote against the legislation to ensure that refugees have safe passage to the UK in light of the worsening situation in Afghanistan.
"This is legislation that's going through that's going to have such a huge effect on potentially thousands of Afghans yet to arrive, including LGBTQI people, but also LGBTQI people from all over the world."

Shotgun Lovesongs (Kobo eBook)
By Nickolas Butler
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Impressively original." —The New York Times
"Sparkles in every way. A love letter to the open lonely American heartland…A must-read." —People
"The kind of book that restores your faith in humanity." —Toronto Star
Welcome to Little Wing.
It's a place like hundreds of others, nothing special, really. But for four friends**—all born and raised in this small Wisconsin town—**it is home. And now they are men, coming into their own or struggling to do so.
One of them never left, still working the family farm that has been tilled for generations. But others felt the need to move on, with varying degrees of success. One trades commodities, another took to the rodeo circuit, and one of them even hit it big as a rock star. And then there's Beth, a woman who has meant something special in each of their lives.
Now all four are brought together for a wedding. Little Wing seems even smaller than before. While lifelong bonds are still strong, there are stresses**—**among the friends, between husbands and wives. There will be heartbreak, but there will also be hope, healing, even heroism as these memorable people learn the true meaning of adult friendship and love.
Seldom has the American heartland been so richly and accurately portrayed. Though the town may have changed, the one thing that hasn't is the beauty of the Wisconsin farmland, the lure of which, in Nickolas Butler's hands, emerges as a vibrant character in the story. Shotgun Lovesongs is that rare work of fiction that evokes a specific time and place yet movingly describes the universal human condition. It is, in short, a truly remarkable book**—**a novel that once read will never be forgotten.

Q: Running multiple for loops in batch file Below is my requirement

*

*My vbs file will call a batch with 5 parameters where one of the parameter is path of xml file

*Inside the batch file, I want to run 3 FOR loops sequentially

*First FOR loop will check all xml file starts with text*.xml and post the content into internal website using curl command

*Second FOR loop will check all xml file starts with encrypted*xml and convert into encrypted format and store it as encrypted*.txt (same name of xml) using openssl

*Third FOR loop will post the encrypted file into internal website using curl command.

Below is my code where %1 is path of the file. Reason for using cd.. twice because my openssl.exe is stored in that path and it will work only when we run it from the location where it kept.
@ECHO OFF
cd %1

::********* First Loop. Posting Plain text

SET i=1

for %%f in (Plaintext*.xml) do (
call :PTCURL "%%f" "%~2" "%~3" %~4

GOTO PLAINTEXTDONE

:PTCURL
curl -X POST  --insecure --data-urlencode xmlInput@Plaintext%i%.xml %2 >>%3 2>&1

Echo Success %4 Plaintext%i%
set /A i+=1
)
::********* First Loop Ends

::********* Second Loop. Encryption

:PLAINTEXTDONE

cd..
cd..

SET j=1

SET Path=%1\Encrypted_*.xml

for /R %%f in (%Path%) do (
call :OPENSSL "%%f"

GOTO PLAINTEXTDONE

:OPENSSL

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -K %5 -iv %6 -in %%f | openssl enc -e -base64 > %%f.txt

Echo Success %4 Encrypted%j%
set /A j+=1
)

::********* Second Loop Ends

::********* Third Loop Ends

SET k=1

for /f "tokens=2 delims=_." %%f in ('dir Encrypted_*.xml /b') do call :ECCURL "%%f" "%~5" "%~6" %2
GOTO PLAINTEXTDONE

:ECCURL

curl -X POST \ --insecure -H "x-cbg-encrypted-content: true" -H "x-cbg-partner-id: %%f" -H "x-cbg-rsa-encrypted-aes-key: %5" -H "x-cbg-aes-iv: %6" --data-urlencode xmlInput@%%f %2

Echo Success %4 Plaintext%i%
set /A k+=1
Pause:

:DONE

Here what I need is
- How to run For Loop one after another
- In third loop I need to pass file name with path in --data-urlencode xmlInput@%%f. How can pass file name with path and specific word of the file?
- Need a review and correction of my above code as its failing at first stage itself

A: The first problem I see is that you have functions inside of a for loop. You can't do that. They need to be outside of any loop. I always put them at the bottom of the script. Make sure you end your main block of code with exit /b or goto :eof so it doesn't fall through to the function calls with no parameters.
This should get you closer:
@ECHO OFF
setlocal

cd %1

set "scurl=curl -X POST  --insecure --data-urlencode xmlInput@"

for %%f in (Plaintext*.xml) do (
  '%scurl% %%~nxf %2 ^>^>%3 2^>&1'
  Echo Success %4 %%~nf
)

SET "sPath=%1\Encrypted_*.xml"

for /R %%f in (%sPath%) do (
    'openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -K %5 -iv %6 -in %%f ^| openssl enc -e -base64 > %%f.txt'
     Echo Success %4 %%~nf
)

for /f "tokens=2 delims=_." %%f in ('dir Encrypted_*.xml /b') do (
    'curl -X POST \ --insecure -H "x-cbg-encrypted-content: true" -H "x-cbg-partner-id: %%~nxf" -H "x-cbg-rsa-encrypted-aes-key: %5" -H "x-cbg-aes-iv: %6" --data-urlencode xmlInput@%%~nxf %2'
    Echo Success %4 %%~nf

Last Days at Big K
Coffee table book, 250pp 130gsm silk paper,
with over 200 photographs & text by Roger Tiley, and an introduction by Carwyn Donovan, also featuring two poems by Mick Westwood
RRP £24.95 + P+P
This book is a limited edition title and pre orders are strongly advised.
This book tells the story of miners who worked at the last deep coal mine in the UK; Kellingley Colliery, North Yorkshire.
Roger Tiley captures life underground, photographing the characters who worked on the coal face. Also included, is the last two weeks of life above ground, until the pit closed on 18 December 2015. 'That was a very sad day' Roger recollects. 'I sat in my van at the end of the day and shed a few tears. The miners at Big K were very special people. I respect each and every one of them; they made me so welcome, they are legends.'
Roger captured the march the next morning and the last pit party in the evening. 'I felt that I was intruding, but the pictures will tell a very poignant story for future generations. I think the miners and their families understood that'.
Mixed in with images of former miners finding new work, Roger visits the Durham Miners' Gala, to capture the spirit of men and their families marching with their lodge banners held high; a proud symbol of trade unionism and solidarity.
Since the mine closed, Kellingley has become a labyrinth of twisted metal, as the complex structures are unsympathetically demolished; the landscape will loose it's iconic towers and surrounding industrial architecture forever.
There is no happy ending to the images in this book, but they are pictures that show the true meaning of comradeship, friendship, humour and respect amongst the working class.
This book is dedicated to the men who lost their lives at the Big K.
The Gender Journey
Nant Hir no2


Signs of positive influences affecting imports of bulk commodities into a number of countries around the world are still evident. But indications of negative changes are also very prominent, potentially offsetting much of the growth elsewhere. As a result, there is only restrained optimism for continuation of the upwards trend in global seaborne dry bulk trade.
The world economy's evolution is not providing much support. Recent (September) calculations by the OECD organization confirmed that world GDP growth in 2016 is likely to be slightly below last year's sluggish 3.1% pace, at 2.9%, and next year any improvement probably will be modest. Global economic activity is described as remaining in a "low-growth trap".
One encouraging dry bulk trade feature is the continued expansion of soya movements, included in the 'grain' category. As shown by the figures in table 1, world trade (mostly seaborne) in soyabeans and meal is estimated to have grown by 6% in the 2015/16 marketing year which has just ended, to 195mt (million tonnes). US Dept of Agriculture forecasts point to a further 4% increase in the next twelve months.
Strongly growing soyabeans imports into China, which reached an estimated 82.5mt in the past twelve months, are boosting the global total. Additional imports into a wide range of other countries contribute as well. In 2015/16 this strength was accompanied by a robust 5% rise in world wheat and coarse grains trade to 354mt but, in the year now starting, a 2% reduction in that segment is likely, based on USDA figures.
Despite subdued steel production in key raw materials importing countries this year, iron ore trade has benefited from greatly increased purchases by Chinese buyers. In the first eight months of 2016, imports of iron ore into China were 57mt or 9% higher than seen in last year's same period, at 670mt.
Steel production weakness in the EU, Japan and South Korea has greatly restrained raw materials requirements recently. There has been an absence of growth in China's steel output also, but other factors have raised iron ore imports, including increasing stocks and further substitution of ore from domestic mines with foreign supplies. However, it is uncertain whether this strong trend will persist over the months ahead.
Positive news about coal trade is less visible. While imports into some countries are growing and appear set to continue enlarging, possibly for many years, most of the major buyers are seeing downwards pressure on consumption and import demand, with environmental policy influences having a big impact.
During the next few years, several countries in southeast Asia could become larger importers of steam coal. Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam in particular are seen as rapidly expanding markets amid growth in coal-fired power station capacity already under way and greater reliance on foreign coal supplies.
Following another increase in seaborne steel products trade last year, prospects for 2016 are difficult to assess. Some estimates point to a flat outcome. One positive element is Imports into the EU, which have risen very rapidly and, together with falling exports, were reflected in European steel production weakness. Conversely, steel imports into the USA, another major market, were 25% lower at 17.1mt in this year's first seven months.
A bulk carrier fleet size group likely to see minimal growth in 2016 is the panamax segment, which comprises about one quarter of the entire fleet.
Although newbuilding deliveries could increase, compared with last year, higher scrapping probably will offset a larger proportion, as shown in table 2. The result is expected to be only a minimal 1% increase in Panamax bulk carrier deadweight capacity.


From the very beginning of classical music, the violin has played an extremely prominent role in all orchestral music. In fact, the violin section plays much of the melody in every piece of classical orchestra music you're likely to hear.
Whereas a piano has 88 sets of strings, a violin has only 4. These strings stretch all the way down the length of the instrument, fastened on top by the pegs and on the bottom by the tailpiece. From the pegs at the top, the strings make a long journey over a small piece of wood (called the nut), down the fingerboard, and over a bridge-like piece of wood (called, logically, the bridge), to Grandmother's house (the tailpiece).
A violin with a bow.
Originally, these strings were made of catgut — just as the strings of tennis rackets sometimes are. The reason is that catgut, stretchable to different lengths, makes a wonderful, pleasing sound.
Nowadays, very few players use catgut. Metal strings are standard on violins today.
In addition to strings, every violin has another piece of essential equipment: the bow. The violinist draws the bow across the strings of the instrument to produce musical tones. The reason for the name bow is historical — it used to be more curved, somewhat like an archery bow.
Between the ends of the wooden bow is stretched a bunch of horse's hair. Horse's hair can draw a beautiful sound out of a piece of catgut.
To give their violin bows better traction on the strings, violinists regularly wipe rosin over the hair on their bows. Rosin is a chalky powder that comes in the form of an amber-colored, often circular block, about the size of a silver dollar. It greatly enhances the sound that a violin can produce; no violinist would be caught without rosin.
Producing a superior violin takes an almost magical, alchemical combination of materials, workmanship, varnish, baking, aging, and luck. Accordingly, good violins are staggeringly expensive: Many a musician must make the choice between buying a violin and buying a house.
You're standing onstage, in a packed concert hall all tuned up and ready to play Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, with the great Vladimir Horowitz as piano accompanist, a fact that is doubly amazing because (1) you've never had a single violin lesson, and (2) Vladimir Horowitz is dead. Many a nightmare has begun this way.
At this moment, the question in your head is probably this: How do you play this thing?
To understand how string playing works, try a little experiment. Go get a long rubber band.
Sit on the floor, place your feet about 18 inches apart, and stretch the band tightly between your big toes. Now reach over and twang it. See what kind of pitch it makes.
Next, grasp the rubber band firmly in the middle, exactly half the distance between one big toe and the other. With your other hand, twang it again. Notice that you're really twanging either one half of the elastic or the other. Now the band makes the same note — but it's higher somehow, right? In fact, the note you played was an octave higher than the original pitch.
If you pinch your rubber band so that only half of it vibrates, the sound produced is exactly one octave higher than the original sound.
When you tuned up a moment ago, you were tuning the open strings — defining the notes they make when you draw the bow across them.
Suppose you just drew the bow across the open A string, creating, of course, a perfect A. Now suppose you want to play the note A one octave higher than the original A. As in the rubber-band experiment, you simply put your finger firmly over the string exactly halfway from one end to the other. This placement effectively cuts the string length in half. Only the part between your finger and the bridge vibrates as you draw your bow across the string. Voilà! One octave higher.
Now, say you don't want to go up quite so high. In that case, you shouldn't shorten the string so much. Instead, place your finger a bit closer to the peg and farther from the bridge, such that when you draw the bow, two-thirds of the string can vibrate. This placement creates a different note — in this case, a perfect E.
All the notes on the violin are produced this way. You effectively shorten the string with your left hand's fingers, making the notes higher. Your right hand holds the bow. Through years of practice, violinists learn exactly where to put each left-hand finger to get each note.


Perceptual effects of social salience: evidence from self-prioritization effects on perceptual matching.
Sui J., He X., Humphreys GW.
We present novel evidence showing that new self-relevant visual associations can affect performance in simple shape recognition tasks. Participants associated labels for themselves, other people, or neutral terms with geometric shapes and then immediately judged whether subsequent label-shape pairings were matched. Across 4 experiments there was a reliable self-prioritization benefit on response times and perceptual sensitivity that remained across different presentation contexts (with self, best friend, and unfamiliar others in Experiment 1; with self, best friend, and neutral terms, and with self, mother, and neutral terms in Experiments 2A and 2B, respectively. Control studies in Experiment 3 indicated that the results did not reflect the length, concreteness, or familiarity of the words. The self-prioritization effect on shape matching also increased when stimuli were degraded (self shapes showing weaker effects of degradation) in Experiment 4A, consistent with self-information modulating perceptual processing. A similar effect was found when people associated different reward values to the shape in Experiment 4B. The results indicate that associating a stimulus to the self modulates its subsequent perceptual processing, and this may operate by self-associated shapes automatically evoking the reward system.

Transfer News: Napoli rekindle interest in Arsenal star Kieran Tierney

Latest Opinions
Napoli have reportedly set their sights on Arsenal star Kieran Tierney once again as they look for reinforcements for the left-back berth.
According to Daily Telegraph, Napoli are eyeing a shock and perhaps unrealistic move for Kieran Tierney. The Arsenal defender has been identified as one of the long-term options for the Serie A outfit, who are looking to add more quality in their left-back department following their struggles in the ongoing campaign.
Although the Partenopei are unlikely to make a move for Tierney in the ongoing transfer window, they could make him a priority target in the summer. As for the January window, they have set their sights on a loan deal for Chelsea outcast Emerson Palmieri as a short-term option in the said position.
Napoli are known to be keen admirers for Tierney for quite a long time now. In fact, they were linked with a move for the former Celtic star in the summer of 2019 but were beaten by Arsenal as the Gunners took full advantage of the cultural and financial advantages provided by the Premier League for the young left-back.
The player himself has enjoyed a good spell at the Emirates despite the fair share of mediocrity regarding Arsenal's overall team performances. He has grown in confidence and has looked at home in the English top-flight. Under Arteta, in particular, the Scot has transformed himself into a more versatile defender, notably playing as a centre-back for a chunk of last season.

In the ongoing campaign, Tierney has managed to survive the injury scares and has been an ever-present figure in the starting lineup, having mustered almost 1,700 minutes of footballing action for Arsenal in all competitions.
His contributions have been quite important for Arsenal as well, with the 23-year-old notably registering the assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's late goal in the recent 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the FA Cup third round.
Therefore, Napoli's interest in Tierney could prove to be a futile one as the Scottish international is considered as one of Arsenal's most crucial players. He is, in fact, the only reliable option at left-back currently, following the January departure of Sead Kolasinac, who has rejoined FC Schalke on a short-term loan deal.
While Tierney is perhaps not a realistic option for Napoli, we might see two other Arsenal defenders in Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis soon be making their way to Serie A as they have been reportedly targeted by Genoa this month. It will be interesting to see how this transfer saga takes shape as Arteta looks to offload most of the fringe players, but Tierney should stay put at the club.

Hofstra, SCCC share $116,300 in grants to help entrepreneurs
Hofstra University's Entrepreneurial Assistance Program will receive $81,465 from Empire State Development. Credit: Chuck Fadely
By James T. Madore james.madore@newsday.com Updated August 2, 2017 6:00 AM
Programs at Hofstra University and Suffolk County Community College will share grants of nearly $163,000 to help aspiring small-business owners, officials said.
Each school's Entrepreneurial Assistance Program will receive $81,465 from Empire State Development, New York's primary business-aid agency.
The funds will pay for counselors and others who aid people interested in starting a small business. Counselors provide training on how to write a business plan, obtain loans and other financing, and manage a company.
Hofstra secured its first state grant for this purpose in 1990, SCCC in 1994. To date, Hofstra has received $2.7 million for its entrepreneur program; SCCC $866,400, records show.

Bette Yee, statewide director of the Entrepreneurial Assistance Program, said last week the program also helps minority- and women-owned businesses become certified to compete for government contracts and veterans wanting to start businesses.
The program "is especially important to the economically distressed areas where there are high levels of unemployment," she said.

Fares becoming outrageous says union
Increases to train fares beginning in the New Year have been condemned by ASLEF general secretary Mick Whelan.
Mick says there appears to be a concerted effort by rail companies and government to drive commuters off the rails. 'Last year Philip Hammond said the railways were becoming 'a rich man's toy'. These fare rises appear to be an effort to make his prediction a fact.'
Mick says the railway is essential to business, important for the environment, central to providing clean freight transport and - 'although this seems to be forgotten' - a major public service.'
'All this is at stake,' he says, 'because of company greed and government avarice.'

Blog #16 - Red Beans and Rice
Residents of selected areas in New Orleans were allowed back into the city this weekend for the first time since Hurricane Katrina to see their homes, or what was left of them. The Red Cross opened six feeding stations in those areas today, Sunday October 2, to provide supplies, food and water to the returning residents.
Three of us from Public Affairs drove down to the city on Saturday to cover the opening of the feeding stations - Tom our photographer, Jack Papp our team leader, and I. We had heard that the traffic returning to the city was heavy on I-10 out of Baton Rouge so we headed east on I-12 and then cut south on I-55 to pick up I-10 west of Kenner. We then did a repeat of the route that Tom and I had taken a few days earlier - off at the Canal Street exit from I-610 and through the military checkpoint there.
"Is the curfew still in effect?" I asked the National Guardsman at the checkpoint after he had checked my Red Cross credentials and waived us through.
"Yes, the 6:00 p.m. curfew is still in effect," he said. "But don't worry about it. You won't have any trouble," he added.
Canal was flooded at one point and we had to make a detour up on the embankment to get around it, but otherwise the trip down to the French Quarter was uneventful. When we got to Claiborne Street we started to see traffic lights working and there had been some cleanup of debris and ruined cars. The boat was still sitting in the median north of Claiborne, and the town still had the look of an abandoned movie set after some Japanese monster had gone through.
A place to stay
We are staying at the Quarter House on Chartes Street, just off Canal. It is a B&B, but without the breakfast. Two Red Cross Rapid Response staff are staying here and have invited us to stay with them. This is lucky, since a hotel room is not to be h ad for any money and we were not looking forward to staying in one of the shelters available with no air conditioning, food or water. There is a little traffic in the French Quarter now as people are starting to move back in, but we still have no problem in finding a parking spot right in front.
There are large dumpsters everywhere. The air smells like standing in a landfill. We decide it is garbage, decayed things and mold that we smell. It fills our nostrils and we carry the smell on our clothes. It is hot and very humid, and I feel limp just walking down the street. When Penny lived here she never got used to the humidity, even after a neighbor told her; "This isn't humid. Just think of it as velvet fingers caressing your body."
There is no one in the lobby as we brought our bags in from the cars, and the hotel seems deserted although supposedly it is full. The elevator smells like someone had given themselves a home permanent in it. I expect it has been disinfected and that is the chemical odor we smell.
We will be sharing a large suite, with a bedroom, bath, living room and small kitchen. There is power and the air conditioning works. The water is OK to shower in but not to drink, so we have brought several cases of drinking water and some MREs and trail lunches to eat. The living room has two couches with fold-out beds. We talk the guard at the Holiday Inn next door into letting us park our cars in their garage, and also to letting we "borrow" some extra towels. In our wandering around the hotel we find the chambermaids' linen closet and pick up enough sheets for the beds. It is just like camping out, except with air conditioning.
Bourbon Street is full of people and a number of bars and restaurants are open. There are a few places with live music going. Most of the revelers are emergency workers here on the recovery effort. I see T-shirts from fire departments and police departments from all around the country. If the curfew is at 6:00 p.m. no one seems to follow it, even though several humvees with troops are circulating.
We find a restaurant that is open and, after a short wait, are seated. Desiree oyster house has a Cajun buffet with red beans and rice, blackened catfish, gumbo, and pecan pie. They are using paper plates and utensils, and drinks served in plastic cups, and the meal is $23.00 but it is good and filling. We spot several media crews from the networks.
Jack and Tom head down Bourbon to enjoy the sights and take pictures, and the rest of us head back to the B&B. We lay out our plan for tomorrow to cover the six feeding sites and turn in. It is a late night after a long day.
Red Cross distribution sites
Areas of the city open to residents is being done on the basis of zip codes. In each of the six zip code areas the Red Cross has picked a site where a distribution station will be set up starting Sunday and continuing daily for several weeks. The crew of 20 Red Cross volunteers at each site distributes drinking water, food, cleaning supplies, plastic bags and buckets, face masks, diapers and baby formula from 8 large box trucks. There is a crew of nurses and mental health councilors at each site to help people as well.
Each site opens at 10:00 a.m., and the people in the neighborhood start arriving soon after. They are allowed to take whatever they need, and the Red Cross volunteers help them carry the items to their cars. It is good to see so many smiling, grateful faces, but it is sad to know that each of them has a tough road ahead of them to bring their lives back into some sort of normalcy.
Every person there has a story. This is the first time for most of them that they have been able to return to their homes, and many of them are in shock over what they have found. Homes have been flooded, windows and roofs destroyed, and everywhere there is mildew and mold from the water that covered the homes and their contents.
"My refrigerator was full of rotten, spoiled food and I'll never be able to get it clean to use again," one lady told me. "But the waiting list for a new one is more than a month. What am I going to do?"
The Public Affairs staff is assigned to different distribution sites to help answer the questions that people have and also to handle any media that show up. Channel 26, the local ABC affiliate shows up at one site, and NBC is at another, but media attention is very low. Later we look at the ABC story on the evening news and it is very fair.
People want to know where the emergency financial assistance is available and we have developed a list of places in the areas to tell people about. I am able to locate a nurse from the California Association of Nurses who is working with local hospitals and clinics to offer free tetanus shots, and we pass this information along as well. The Red Cross nurses at the distribution sites pass out literature warning of the dangers of black mold, tetanus, and the other hazards that working in the damaged houses presents.
The distribution was to have continued until 3:00 p.m., but by 2:00 p.m. the trucks were completely empty. Everything had been given out. We tell people that the sites will be here every day, and when they need more supplies to come by. The clean up effort will be long and hard, and it is gratifying to know that we are helping in this small way.
New England faces
At the Red Cross distribution site I met members of Easy Company of the New Hampshire National Guard from Concord, NH. Lt. Joshua Pierce and Sgt First Class Kevin Dugrenier told me about their deployment to Louisiana as part of the Katrina relief effort. They have just arrived, and are already feeling the effects of the heat and humidity here in New Orleans. They are providing security for the distribution site, but thankfully there are no incidents and everything runs smoothly.
I have run into two of the Portland Red Cross volunteers in the last couple of days. John Eder was at a client financial assistance center in Baton Rouge that opened on Thursday. He was there distributing funds to people who were victims of Hurricane Katrina and was part of the Red Cross effort that has given more than $34 million to nearly 47,000 families in Louisiana alone.
We went over to Bourbon Street to find a place to eat supper. On a side street we came across a restaurant where the owner was out on the sidewalk with a huge tureen of red beans and rice. He was handing out bowls of it for free, and we stopped and had some. Later we stopped at the Five O'clock Grill for a beef brisket sandwich and a beer. A group of familiar faces came in and sat down near us. John Lyons from Portland and some of the crew from the Slidell shelter were there on their day off, and John was able to bring me up to speed on the changes at the shelter since I'd last been there.
On the way back from the distribution site I stopped by Arden Stitzell's place in the French Quarter. I called her, and she suggested I ring the doorbell. Her landlord answered and let me in. I gave him my phone to talk with Arden and he told her how her place had survived the hurricane. She is planning on returning on Friday and resuming her life here. I brought in a case of water and some MRE's so she'll have something when she gets here.
Tomorrow (Monday) I will work at one of the distribution sites till about noon, then will visit with the principal of the Jefferson Elementary School about pairing them with Sebago Elementary. Then I am off to Slidell to pick up Raggs and back to Baton Rouge to pack my bags for my flight back on Tuesday.

2010s: An Eventful Decade for American Independents
At the end of 2008, the Wall Street-generated economic collapse blew a deflating hole in the Film Indie cash cow. 2009 saw the consequent slashing of staff at the mini-majors, the closing of many companies and a pullback by the content-clueless hedge funders. The result was a low output of indies in 2009, although what films were made were made for the right reasons rather than simply a desire to make another faux-indie TV movie to satisfy desperate distributors. So the decade started there, at a solemn hushed, funeral-like Sundance 2010, one that was also a refreshing, offbeat event for […]

Happiness is Overrated: A New Book Examines the Arthouse Sub-genre, "the Feel-Bad Film"
This summer I have brutalized myself with one challenging theater drama after another, and I have been utterly enriched by the truthful and uncompromising bleakness of these experiences. Stephen Karam's Tony-award winning The Humans is a play about a family that comes together in a crummy New York City apartment to share secrets of infidelity, sickness, aging, unemployment and just overall sadness. It ends not with a resounding "chin up" march into sunlight but with a cinematic, dialogue-free, horrific sequence that plunges us even deeper into the dark than when it started. Watching the play in a crowded theater is […]

TV is Not the New Film
As much as I love Breaking Bad, The Wire, Mad Men and Twin Peaks, as great and as groundbreaking as those shows were, they still are not cinema. The recent explosion of quality long-form cable series has taken the TV form to a new level of artistry and craftsmanship. A show like Mad Men is not only thrilling because of its commentary on its era, but because of the zeitgeist energy created by everyone watching the show, talking about it and sharing opinions on social media. Today, perhaps more than ever, a new season of a quality show becomes a […]

TIFF: Nathaniel Dorsky's Song and Spring and Peter Hutton's Three Landscapes
Through my late teens, my Sunday mass of choice was the 1pm. I was lucky to belong to Catholic parish that was built in the turn of the century; I loved the dark wood, red velvet, shadowy vibe and how it contrasted to the sunny bustle out on the street. Later in life, as I gained the courage to face reality without a dogmatic crutch, I still longed for that peaceful hour spent in quiet reflection in the middle of the day. At 1pm this Sunday, a TIFF 150-seat theater was filled with a festival audience that remained totally still […]

One of the more anticipated films of a very strong Wavelengths section, Ben Rivers and Ben Russell's A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness unspooled Saturday night to a packed house at the Art Gallery of Ontario's Jackman Hall. A true collaborative effort by two major filmmakers, the feature follows a black guitar player, Robert A.A. Lowe, from a northern Finland commune through a solitary journey across a lake into an isolated wilderness to the climactic scene on a stage in Estonia, where he performs with a black metal band. The film is less of a character study than it is the […]

USA TODAY High School Sports' second annual Best High School Football Rivalry competition has crowned a new champion - and once again, a pair of small towns emerged as the nation's best. The North Carolina rivalry of Louisburg and Bunn - towns with a combined population of 3,700 - managed 1,046,667 votes in the monthlong contest.
Louisburg vs. Bunn received 823,907 votes in the final round alone, outracing the New Mexico rivalry of Las Cruces vs. Mayfield down the stretch. In all, 3,828,522 votes were cast in the competition.
"It feels good that our two communities worked together like this to win something on a national level," Louisburg principal Freda Clifton said. "A lot of people in our communities have been here for their entire lives. Everyone is just so excited."
The rivalry was born immediately when Louisburg High School opened in 1961, and it reaches into all sports. In fact, on Wednesday, the day the rivalry was crowned a national champion, the teams will meet in basketball at the local college. The basketball game had to be moved to the college gym to accomodate the large crowds.
Louisburg-Bunn won its state round with 19,003 votes, and took its regional with 203,757 votes. The national round featured nine other rivalries: Leominster vs. Fitchburg in Massachusetts, Westfield vs. Plainfield in New Jersey, Wausau East vs. Wausau West in Wisconsin, Norfolk Catholic vs. Pierce in Nebraska, Upsala-Swanville vs. Royalton in Minnesota, Las Cruces vs. Mayfield in New Mexico and Mater Dei vs. Servite in California, Douglas vs. Bisbee in Arizona and Warner Robins vs. Northside in Georgia.
The New Mexico rivalry led much of the national round until a late run by North Carolina. The North Carolina rivalry receives $5,000 to be split evenly between the two schools, with other prizes going to all of the national finalists.
USA TODAY High School Sports selected five high school football rivalries in each state and Washington, D.C. after more than a month of conversations with local media and other state/school officials with high school football expertise. From there, the fans decide which rivalry emerges from a list of 255 - more than 100 more rivalries overall than a year ago. The state round ran from Nov. 18-27, with the Massachusetts' rivalry of Leominster vs. Fitchburg receiving the most votes nationally. The regional round opened Dec. 2 and closed with eight regional winners and two wildcards moving onto the finals. The New Mexico rivalry garnered the most votes nationally in the regional round with 220,459.
The "Best Of" contest series launched in November 2012 with the first best high school football rivalry competition, won by Brookfield vs. Marceline in Missouri. The teams celebrated their national title rivalry on Sept. 13 in Brookfield.
In January, Hartford (Vt.) was crowned as the People's Champion high school football team. And the monster of them all – the top high school mascot last spring – was won by the Centralia (Ill.) Orphans after 80 million total votes were cast during the competition. Last month, the best high school football coach competition crowned Philip Haywood of Belfry (Ky.) as its champion.
Must be at least 13 years old to vote. There is no limit to the number of times a person can vote as long as the Best High School Football Rivalry rules are followed.
USA TODAY High School Sports begins its Best High School Football Rivalry competition at 12 p.m. ET Monday, Nov. 18 with 255 coaches – five per state and Washington D.C. - in the state round, which ends at 12 p.m. ET Nov. 27. The 51 winners will advance to the second round, where they will be divided among eight regions. The regional round will begin at 12 p.m. ET Dec. 2 and ends at 12 p.m. ET Dec. 10. The eight winners - along with the two highest vote-getters that did not win a regional - advance to a national round, which begins at 12 p.m. ET Dec. 11 and ends at 12 p.m. ET Dec. 18.
The athletic departments of the winning rivalry – based off the number of votes in the final round – will receive $5,000 to be split evenly between the schools. Second through 10th places also receive cash prizes.

IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, WHAT DO THE BEST MOVERS DO
By Andrew April 26, 2022 Updated: September 3, 2022 No Comments5 Mins Read
You've used packers and movers services or movers and removal in United Arab Emirate supplied by movers and packers in Dubai UAE. if you've ever movers and removal in united Arab emirate, ever delivered products to family and friends around United Arab Emirate, or even ordered something online.
Consider the steps you took to get here. You most likely spoke with a company to have your belongings transported or provided your address details to an online movers in United Arab Emirate when ordering new shoes, and then you were most likely given an online tracker to track your movers and removal in United Arab Emirate, and finally your goods arrived at the destination you requested. For us, that's about it. The internal process of our belongings being loaded onto a packers and movers service and secured is something we seldom think about. We have no reason to do so. However, like with anything, it's always a good idea to know what's going on so you can ask the correct questions when necessary.
It's critical that you continue reading if you've chosen movers and removal in United Arab Emirates or packers and movers services from movers and removal in United Arab Emirates.
When a container for movers and packers in dubai arrives at your place for cargo loading, a certain level of preparation is required. These will ensure that the freight loading process runs smoothly and safely. Lashing equipment and cell guides are installed in the under deck compartments of container ships to aid in better stowage during shipping. The efficient stowing and lashing of movers and removals in the United Arab Emirates is critical for the container's equilibrium and balance, as well as the cargo's safety during transportation. Deck officers must ensure that they have prepared ahead of time for cargo container stowage since the importance of proper cargo loading cannot be overstated.
The suggestions below will explain what has to be done to make that happen, including preparing a container of movers and removals in the United Arab Emirates and ensuring that it is ready to release its cargo at a destination. Location:
Bilge alarms must be tested on a regular basis to guarantee that they work when needed. There is no excuse for forgetting the fact that they must be in operating order. Before the movers and removal in United Arab Emirates may berth, the bilges must be fully emptied as well.
Long before the ship arrives in port, another task must be accomplished: determining a good and efficient ballast plan. Fuel consumption will also play a vital role in arranging the de-ballasting and ballasting procedures, taking them into consideration, according to the pre-arrival condition of the movers and removal in United Arab Emirates.
• Twist locks, lashing bars, and turnbuckles must be provided to secure the containers. They must be in sufficient and enough supply.
Everyone working in the unloading and loading of goods in the UAE should be familiar with the numerous movers in United Arab Emirate equipment that are utilized on a container. If you don't, you'll end up with cargo damage or worse.
Best Mover in UAE and movers and removals in UAE currently in charge of cargo operations must keep lasing bars safe and avoid any damage to them or the hatch covers while containers are loaded.
Twist locks and movers in the United Arab Emirates must be oiled at all times to ensure that they continue to function properly for as long as feasible.
• If you come across any damaged lashing equipment, replace it as soon as possible to avoid any problems.
You should also make sure you have adequate lighting when moving and removal in the United Arab Emirates to the ship. On deck, including the catwalks and the lashing bridge, it must have more than ample lighting. If any lights are out before arriving at the port, make sure they are replaced and fixed, as this will help keep things safe during the loading and unloading procedures.
• If you have any reefer containers that need to be loaded, make sure that all of the reefer plugs are operational, as well as the extra connections, so that you may load them to their full capacity.
Make sure you have enough actuator poles and spanners on hand for dock employees who are doing the loading and unloading.
• Hatch covers must be prominently marked for easy identification if they are out of gauge.
• You must also keep the cargo hold ventilator fans in good working order and maintain them properly. This will protect goods from mildew and other problems while also giving enough air for the crew and other people involved in loading and unloading.

Betania Chrisitan Centre
The Betania Christian Centre had its beginnings in the early 1950's when a great number of Italians migrated to Australia. Some of these Italian migrants who shared a common evangelical, Christian faith began to meet in each other's homes.
This fellowship grew over the years and in 1967, an Italian speaking missionary was sent from the USA by the Christian Churches of North America (CCNA) to care for this group. The CCNA continued to financially support the minister until the church's congregation was able to support a full-time minister.
During the 1980's, the church introduced bilingual services to cater for second generation Italians and other English speaking persons. Currently the members of Betania Christian Centre are a blend of many cultural/linguistic backgrounds. Services and activities are held to cater for all members of its congregation.
To implement the vision of preaching the Gospel to all people throughout Australia, the Christian Churches of Australia (CCA) was formed which was linked to the CCNA. The Betania Christian Centre is the Head Office of the CCA.
Since its inception in 1979, the CCA has experienced growth, both in terms of the number of churches being established throughout Australia, and also in the number of people being reached with the message of the Gospel.
While the main vision of the church is to reach people in Adelaide and Australia with the message of the Gospel, the desire is also to reach communities throughout the world with the message of the Gospel.

0:12Skip to 0 minutes and 12 secondsThe Game of Global Futures invites you to imagine coalescences, that is, the coming together of unexpected connections. What I want you to do is tell a story that's both imaginative and plausible, and also search through the offerings from your colleagues and find the very best stories that are being told. And I want you to post these stories to our Facebook page-- Environmental Humanities at UNSW. So I'm going to give you a secret mission, and it could be anything from "create a revolution with the coalition of at least two unlikely allies," or it could be "force the scattering of a group, human or otherwise, that already has health and autonomy in its own territory."
0:46Skip to 0 minutes and 46 secondsIn addition to the mission, I'm going to give you some image cards, and you can interpret those however you like. So what you've got here is a foetus, a tree, and Fidel Castro. What I've got is what looks like poppies, a Bible, and a frog. So my mission here is force the scattering of a group, human or otherwise. So what you want to do is of these three images you've got, pick one to discard. So in my case, I'm going to discard the poppies. I've got a Holy Bible here. I've got a frog. I could tell a story that's way too plausible, like something that's already happening.
1:20Skip to 1 minute and 20 secondsYou might also tell a more imaginative story, that's not about what's already happening, but a coalescence that could become in the future. So if we were telling these stories amongst ourselves with friends at home, we would be building on your story and creating a shared world. What we're going to do for this gameplay, though, since you're uploading videos from your computers, I want you to be listening to other people's games and building on their worlds, and trying to figure out what their secret missions are. What you want to be doing is creating this shared universe of basically plausible coalescences that are imaginative and that are pushing the bounds of realism and realistic possibility.
Now, let's try our hands at some storytelling of our own.
In this step, Eben Kirksey and Karin Bolender introduce the Game of Global Futures, an imaginative storytelling exercise that explores the power of connections and coalescences.
The purpose of the game, in the words of game authors Anna Tsing and Elizabeth Pollman, is to explore how "unexpected connections can make new things come into being…Futures of all sorts are forged in the contingencies of strange connections." Central to gameplay is the creation of what Tsing and Pollman refer to as a "coalescence" — "the historical force that arises from a transformative coming together of disparate groups, institutions, or things" [1]. Consider that a true coalescence or coming together of two elements should leave both elements transformed.
We invite you to play the game to practice your storytelling skills and create imaginative narratives to help rethink our collective global futures.
To play the game, you will first be given a secret mission, such as: "Create a revolution with a coalition of at least two unlikely allies" or "Force the scattering of a group (human or otherwise) that currently has health and autonomy in its own territory." Then you will be asked to tell stories — pushing the bounds of realism and realistic possibility — that accomplish the goal.
For an example of a story in the Game of Global Futures, watch this video uploaded by Anne Maree Kreller, an Environmental Humanities student at UNSW Australia.
Other stories by UNSW students in Environmental Humanities, including a follow up story by Anne, are on our Facebook page.
In the next step, you can take a turn at playing the game.

Stevens, Berry Sweep Landmark Conference Women's Soccer Awards
Taylor Stevens Colleen Berry
Juniors Taylor Stevens (Yardley, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) and Colleen Berry (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) led the way as The University of Scranton women's soccer team posted a key victory over the weekend. As a result, the duo has earned the Landmark Conference Athlete of the Week awards for women's soccer.
Stevens was named Offensive Athlete of the Week after she had a goal and an assist in the 3-0 victory over Susquehanna at Fitzpatrick Field on Saturday. Berry earned the Defensive Athlete of the Week honor for making five saves in the match, earning her seventh shutout of the season.
The win was a key one for Scranton, which entered the match tied for first in the Landmark Conference with both Susquehanna and Juniata. The win, coupled with a Juniata loss, gave the Royals sole possession of first place. Scranton also entered the game ranked fifth in the United Soccer Coaches' Mid-Atlantic Region rankings, one spot ahead of Susquehanna.
Stevens broke the ice with a goal in the 16th minute. After the Royals held that 1-0 lead into halftime, she delivered a perfect corner kick for an assist on a goal by junior Jamie Hreniuk (West Caldwell, N.J./James Caldwell) in the 60th minute that doubled Scranton's lead.
Berry preserved the shutout with four first-half saves and one more in the second half. She has allowed just one goal in the last six matches.
The women's soccer team is back in action on Wednesday, Oct. 11, when the Royals travel to Madison, N.J. for a Landmark Conference match against Drew at 7 p.m.
