A Midsummer Night's Dream: Shakespeare in the Courtyard
Posted on May 18, 2022 by Ada Bartels Leave a comment
Dreams became reality on May 12th and 14th, as the Apex Peak Players brought new life to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, making for three wondrous renditions of the classic tale. In a night of music, theatrics, and laughs, the group brought a certain magic to their performance.
The unique stage, which was intricately woven into the courtyard's landscape, set the production apart by creating an interactive viewing experience that matched the play's lush natural setting. From scene to scene, the audience was immersed in the flowery language of the Bard as they followed the characters through the winding campus, emulating the twists and turns of the enchanted forest. Ornamented with colorful lights, flourishing shrubbery, and even an eccentric Volkswagen, the show maximized its space, successfully marrying the bohemian counterculture of the 1970s with the rich romanticism of the Elizabethan era.
The blending of these two time periods only furthered the message of the show, as the characters rebel against marital tradition, echoing the departure from societal convention common amongst the youth population in the seventies. Songs from this time were employed to connect the viewer to the decade, while further drawing this comparison. As unlikely as it may seem from a modern perspective, artists such as Simon and Garfunkel and John Denver (whose work was featured in the production) have been seen as controversial in the past by conservative groups, thereby further connecting the nonconformity of the characters to the context of the setting. Additionally, the implications of hippie culture present in the two protagonists' wardrobe (Hermia and Lysander) create a stark contrast against the more traditional mid-century garb of characters that adhere to convention, thus emphasizing their defiance towards authority. Meanwhile, the more fantastical characters in the show, the fairies, are completely disconnected from the modern attire of their mortal counterparts, highlighting the differences in their ways of life.
The cast was not alone in their efforts to add whimsy to their performances. They were accompanied by children related to those in the Apex High School community. These younger actors were cast to play the roles of the fairy court, and their addition further contributed to the otherwordly ambiance of the production, through their height and vocal range. The Peak Players learned from these students, as they developed valuable leadership skills through collaboration and assistance throughout the course of the production. Additionally, they were able to observe the growth of these actors before their very eyes as they witnessed the confidence of the children swell.
As evidenced by their variety in age, on an individual level, the performers are completely different. However, when perceived in action, they work together in perfect synchronization. To achieve this effect, the Peak Players made sure to prioritize the more pressing elements of the acting process, such as line memorization and blocking. It was after this that the group focused on smaller details, thereby perfecting their craft. To properly interpret their characters, the actors took various approaches. They utilized analytical resources on Shakespearean language and poured over their lines extensively. Furthermore, they developed a comedic tone within their performance through thorough analysis of the play's context, which in turn led to the development of distinctive, personified characters. Hunter Dennan (playing the role of Bottom) states, "Making sure you understand every joke is extremely important to the delivery. Heightening the physicality of my character during certain scenes also added to the comedic value of the show." But perhaps the most crucial part of the cast's process was working together. Ava Cobb (playing the roles of Hippolyta and Titania) elaborates on this, stating, "We were supportive and spent free time observing and giving feedback on others' scenes or discussing our characters' motivations and tactics with each other to better understand points in the show and how our cast mates were interpreting them." This positive feedback loop fostered a collaborative environment, which only strengthened the connectivity that was imperative to the production's success.
The show was a learning experience for the actors and their audience alike. Exposure to classic literature through the art of performance enriches the viewer's mind by presenting a more digestible way to absorb such content. For the actors themselves, they have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of complex literary content through thorough observation of the script with which they were presented. Moreover, the actors were able to improve their craft and cultivate an appreciation for Shakespeare's work.
The show's closing also marked the last chapter in the high school careers of several seniors in the troupe, providing a bittersweet conclusion to an otherwise lighthearted show. Preston Smith, Aryana Figueroa, Joey Klieman, Rebecca Rager, Mathew Lyktey, Barbara Zboichyk, Jared Hernandez, and Dylan Schneider (a member of the band) gave their last bows, on what all considered to be a successful production. The sendoff was emotional for all, but the cast was thankful to end on a high note.
Overall, Apex High's interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream was well thought out and exhibited a great deal of creativity. From context, to set, to the acting itself, the show succeeded in providing an intricate, entertaining experience for its audience; as well as a touching final hurrah for its seniors.

Q: What is the Long term stability of NVMe or SSD stored data? Background:
We need ready access to 30TB of audio data, although only a small fraction of it is ever requested for playback, that playback needs to be done immediately even for multi-year old data. The data resides in a SAN of multiple arrays and a nightly backup is performed on new data. Some data is also removed every night as well. Since both are write events, call it 20GB a night. The overall trend is more new data is written than old data is removed.
Weekly Patrol Reads(PR) and Consistancy Checking(CC) account for most of the disk activity on the arrays, other than them just spinning until they fail.
Question:
I'm trying to figure out if the if the disk based SAN should be replaced with one using using NVMe, what RAID level to consider and if it makes sense to reduce the frequency of PR or CC activity for the VNAND technology?
It is my understanding, what kills the VNAND is writes, and we would be writing way less data than the daily minimum on most drives even considering the consistency checking.
I have been able to find almost no testing of RAID 5/6 on NVMe or even SSD in general. I'm after primarily long term availability.
Research:
Most of the other questions on this topic predate NVMe technology and are 6-7 years old. This one is an exception but doesn't really cover this scenario either.

A: By using SSDs over HDDs you will get some power benefit and likely have a reliability benefit (enterprise grade SSDs are far more reliable than enterprise grade HDDs). There is no issue with the nand endurance especially not at the level of activities that you have and even at higher levels the endurance is not a real issue. You can most likely also go for the relatively cheaper read-optimized drives (with 0.3 DWPD) and have no worries with regard to the disk endurance.
The only question in such a use case is if the cost of the drives warrants the power and reliability advantages.
As for the reliability/availability, all enterprise grade SSDs I've seen advertise MTBF of 2 million hours and those I've worked with have exceeded that mark. The opposing side is that all enterprise grade HDDs claim 1.2M hours of MTBF and none got even halfway there so you will see a big reliability jump upwards with the move. Again, if it's really worth it for the cost or not is your calculation to make.
My qualification here is that I worked on enterprise storage systems involving HDDs and SSDs and worked on the hardware/software integration and was deeply involved in the reliability of the combined systems. The data sets I relied on are private so there is no open research that I can point to though.

A: Flash storage is still too new for there to be any good at-scale studies into long-term longevity to rely on. So far, the indications of SLC and MLC flash looks good, and seems to give you as good or better longevity as spinning rust. TLC and especially QLC flash is way too new to make any qualified predictions about, but they could reasonably be expected to provide worse longevity than SLC and MLC flash.
Personally, I wouldn't move from spinners to flash for longevity reasons, but possibly for other reasons such as performance. Instead, I'd look into the integrity features of the storage management system, and make sure it can properly deal with partially lost or corrupted data. ZFS is possibly the leader in this respect.

A: Electrical charges fading also kills NAND.  Probably very slowly on a good solid state, but noticeable after time.  Quite different from magnetic spindles which hold data for 10 years or more. If they spin up again, that is.
Look up reliability data as a function of bytes written, hours spinning, and other metrics. Vendor specs as well as any public data sets. Replace drives whenever they show wear. Especially near the end of their warranty, maybe 3 years old.
Use different media for your backups than online data. If the primary storage is solid state, use tape or magnetic spindles for the protection storage.
Reevaulate archive media at least every 10 years. Transfer old backups you care about to whatever the current protection media is.
Being a good archivist is not specific to the media type or redundancy scheme, storage evolves over time. There is not one answer here, even for similar performance, availability, and cost requirements.

Six people, pets displaced after fire in Omaha neighborhood
Crews arrived Saturday night at an attached garage fire that spread to a home in Omaha. Smoke detectors helped get everyone out near North 110th Cir. One person was taken to the hospital and at this time, their condition is unknown. Six people are displaced along with several pets. The cause of the fire is considered an accident, a space heater placed close to combustible materials. The fire was under control in under 10 minutes. OPPD responded and disconnected the service. There's an estimated dollar loss of $52,500.

Multiple agencies battle house fire in Eddyville
Multiple agencies combined to put out a house fire in Eddyville on Monday. At approximately 1:00 p.m., Eddyville Fire responded to a structure fire at 907 Central Avenue. Shortly after their arrival, mutual aid was requested from Oconto, Miller and Callaway Fire Departments. Radio station KCNI/KBBN reported that heavy smoke could be seen coming from a west window on the upper flood of the two-story home. Due to the fire being located on the upper portion of the home, fire crews appeared to be taking a defensive stance spraying water through windows of the upper and lower floors. At the location of the home, no fire hydrants were available to use, so water tanker crews had to leave the scene and refill the trucks just outside of Eddyville. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

House fire in Omaha displaces two people
Two people have been displaced after a fire Saturday in an Omaha neighborhood. Crews went to a home near North 47th Street and determined the fire was an accident from an electrical event. The two people were told by a neighbor of smoke coming from the roof and were home at the time, according to the release. There are reports of heavy damage to the roof and kitchen. Crews were able to find the fire in the attic and got the fire under control in 10 minutes. The two were able to get out of the home as crews put out the fire.
Crews responded to structure fire near St. Paul
A home sustained damage following a fire Thursday morning near St. Paul. According to the St. Paul Volunteer Fire Department, crews were called shortly before 4:15 a.m. to a structure fire on Hardy Road, southeast of St. Paul. The fire department said the structure was fully engulfed, with flames coming through the doors and windows. Fire crews then fought a defensive attack due to the possibility of the roof collapsing and the large amount of ammunition going off inside. There were no injuries to residents or firefighters as a result of the fire. The Nebraska State Fire Marshal was on scene investigating and ruled that the cause of the fire was a heating pad on the couch. Elba Fire and Rescue, Dannebrog Fire, Boelus Fire and Rescue, Farwell Fire and St. Libory Fire and EMS also responded to the fire.

Crews respond to diesel spill after truck hits semi in downtown Lincoln
One of Downtown Lincoln's busiest streets is back open after a large diesel spill following a crash late Wednesday night. It all happened just before 10 p.m. at 9th & O Streets. Battalion Chief Mark Majors with Lincoln Fire & Rescue tells 10/11 NOW crews were called out to the scene after a minor crash between a pickup and a semi. Chief Majors says the pickup struck a full diesel fuel tank on the semi. He says that resulted in 40-50 gallons of fuel to spill all over the intersection. LFR was on scene for nearly two-hours to clean up the mess, leading to the complete closure of O Street between 9th & 10th. The intersection of 9th & O was also closed for a time, with traffic being diverted away from the intersection.

The ACM suspects that the companies made agreements to keep the price for ship fuel artificially high. Several companies working in the triangle between the ports of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Antwerp, Belgium are under investigation. Dozens of bunker sector companies are active in that region.
The investigation was launched based on a tip from the Public Prosecutor. The ACM already visited several companies, and will continue the investigation in the coming months. Companies found guilty of forming a cartel can be fined up to 40 percent of global sales, according to ANP. The persons who lead a cartel can be fined up to 900 thousand euros.
The bunker sector is responsible for producing, trading, storing and transporting gas oil and fuel oil.

The Knott's Berry Farm (KBF) Discussion Thread
P. 639: Montezooma's Revenge major renovations announced!
By Crazy4Coasters!,

KNOTT'S ANNOUNCES NEW INTERACTIVE 4-D ATTRACTION FOR 2015
Voyage To The Iron Reef Will Submerge Guests Under The Boardwalk In An Interactive Media-Based 4-D Adventure To Save The Theme Park
Buena Park, Calif. (November 13, 2014) – Knott's Berry Farm announced plans for a spectacular new interactive 4-D attraction for 2015, Voyage to the Iron Reef. Opening spring 2015, Voyage to the Iron Reef adds high-tech fun for everyone as guests save Knott's from mysterious creatures emerging from the seas beneath the Boardwalk in a cutting edge media-based battle.
Ever since construction crews finished expanding the Boardwalk Pier in 2013, guests have happily enjoyed the many new attractions like Coast Rider and Surfside Gliders. But all that activity on the Boardwalk shores has reawakened a mystic lair in the depths below, filled with creatures who have risen up to wreak havoc on the classic So Cal theme park.
The Queen of the Kraken and her aquatic army have surfaced to feed on the steel of any attraction within their grasps. Their unquenchable appetite for coaster metal has turned these creatures into swimming mechanical monsters unlike anything ever seen on the ocean floor.
Guests who have what it takes to become brave deep sea navigators will climb aboard four-person submarine-inspired ride vehicles and embark on the four-minute gaming adventure into the Iron Reef. Equipped with an interactive freeze ray, guests will aim for ballooning puffer fish, an iron clad octopus and other exciting 3-D creatures as they attempt to blast the most sea life and save Knott's from a watery doom.
Through enchanting underwater forests, disorienting ocean current tunnels, and mysterious mechanical wreckage, high definition 3-D animation will surround guests at every turn. Along the way, the submarines navigate 600 feet of track and 11 scenes featuring hundreds of media-based creatures and live action special effects.
Altogether, it's an interactive voyage that features a different experience every time and reacts to the actions and accuracy of the guests onboard. Following the thrilling finale, the number of creatures taken is digitally displayed onboard and in the undock area.
Montreal-based Triotech, the multi-sensory attraction developer that animated the popular Wonder Mountain's Guardian at Canada's Wonderland, is the creator behind the groundbreaking gaming system and animation for Voyage to the Iron Reef.
"Triotech is thrilled to cooperate with Knott's team and bring our media-based interactive dark ride to Southern California, an area with a rich attraction and entertainment heritage. We feel that guests of all ages will enjoy this unique attraction," said Ernest Yale, Triotech's President and CEO.
Knott's is well prepared to integrate new technologies into traditional dark ride experiences. Next year will mark the third consecutive year the park has reintroduced spectacular and unique family attractions. Both the Timber Mountain Log Ride and Calico Mine Ride recently delighted guests after both underwent extensive technological and special effect upgrades, reestablishing Knott's as a destination renowned for premier theme park experiences.
The future home of Voyage to the Iron Reef is hallowed ground for Knott's enthusiasts. In 1975, the show building was originally the site of the wacky and whimsical Knott's Bear-y Tales. Designed by legendary theme park designer Rolly Crump, Knott's Bear-y Tales transported guests to a county fair filled with anthropomorphized frogs, owls, and bears. In 1987, dinosaurs once again ruled the earth as Knott's Bear-y Tales transformed into Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, capturing the imagination of a new generation of fans.
"The same commitment to storytelling and dedication to incorporating the most cutting edge ride technologies that made Knott's Bear-y Tales and Kingdom of the Dinosaurs so popular is what has driven the Iron Reef creative process," said Raffi Kaprelyan, vice president and general manager of Knott's Berry Farm. "The technology showcased in Iron Reef will honor the legacy of the attractions that preceded it, and propel the on-ride experience into the 21st century."
Voyage to the Iron Reef is the centerpiece of an exciting 2015 at Knott's Berry Farm.

From the information it does not seem like this will contain any coaster elements like Wonder Mountain's Guardian did due it's 600ft track length. In addition to that the building may not be setup for anything like the finale on WMG.
Really excited for this though as Guardian was a great ride and the story for this does seem quite interesting.

I'm happy the old Kingdom of the Dinosaurs building is being used again for what looks like it will be a fantastic new ride. After going for so long with that building being complete closed off, no doubt there will be fond memories of what used to be as we discover all that is new once the ride is ready and open.
KOD will not return, neither will Bear-y Tales, and that's fine. We will always have our memories. What's most important is that Knott's will have a killer state-of-the-art immersive experience. One that is sure to draw crowds and give a new generation a chance to make the same kinds of memories that we did with Iron Reef's predecessors all those years ago.
I knew something like this was coming, but it looks great based on the pictures and description, and it will be a great addition for Knott's. I think it's interesting that we're starting to see more themed attractions at Cedar Fair parks. I'm usually not the biggest fan of theming, but these dark rides seem to really please the GP, so I think they're good investments and will be successful in the long run.

Wow. I really wish more theme park fans thought this way!
I'm pretty excited too, to see something new going in that space.

Yes! I'm so excited for this ride! For some reason I really love Triotech rides. Congrats to both KBF and Triotech, this ride will be amazing!
OrlandoGuy
Love the concept and the fact that Cedar Fair is branching out trying new things. But that name really doesn't roll off the tongue at all, does it? This should be a great addition to one of Cedar Fair's more well-rounded parks, hopefully being next door to Disneyland will motivate them to really up the ante on this one and make it a much-improved version of Guardian.
SharkTums
Love that Knott's is getting a dark ride back! I think the theme sounds kind of cool! I get that some people may think it's cheesy but the more I think about it the more I like it. I'm sure KT is holding out hope for an Ocean Sunfish somewhere in the ride!
^I feel the same way. I remember Knott's being in the doldrums a few years back, but they've really been improving over the last two years (starting with the upgrades to the log ride).
But that name really doesn't roll off the tongue at all, does it?
I kind of felt that "Voyage to the Iron Reef" was sort of a spiritual homage to the "Kingdom of the Dinosaurs" name in a way. I'm probably just reading too much into it.
I love the Steampunk look.

This looks like a fantastic addition to the park. In particular, I just love the design and art direction.
I'll be the first in line to buy a full-size poster of those tentacles wrapped around Supreme Scream and Sky Cabin.

^^ Wow. KoD has been closed forever and they're whining. At least the Maelstrom idiots were losing a ride that was still operational.
I can't wait to ride this! Not a whole lot of details about the ride system yet but it seems like this is different from Wonder Mountain's Guardian in that it's a more traditional dark ride style (a la the Sally Corp dark rides) with everyone facing the same direction rather than back to back. I'm sure the vehicles will be on a swivel, though!
VegasBaby
Very excited for the new dark ride, I think the concept art looks amazing. Knott's did a first class job with the TMLR and CMR renovations and it sounds like Voyage will be on the cutting edge of dark ride technology. I also like that the ride will incorporate the existing Knott's rides into the story and not just be some random underwater excursion. I was really encouraged when I read about Ouimet's 5 year plan for the Knott's and I think this ride will be a great addition to the park. Hopefully a killer new coaster and another slide complex for Soak City are next parts of the plan, but I trust that Ouimet and Raffi will continue to make the right decisions for the park.

This looks wonderful. Kingdom of the Dinosaurs was my favorite ride at Knott's growing up. I'm so happy to see what looks like a worthy successor take it's place after all these years. Did people honestly expect them to bring back Beary-Tales or KOD?
Also, the octopus art makes me nostalgic for Hammerhead. Am I the only one?

Also, I love the art design for this ride, hopefully the actual video and themeing matches that quality.

^Maybe whats inside the ride itself? Or a totally unrelated project.
disney4me2001
Same here! It has a very "Sharknado" vibe to it! I would love it if they sold this art as a wall poster or print! I'd also like to see them do pins inspired by the art, like maybe Supreme Scream with a tentacle around it and the Iron Reef logo at the bottom of the pin (yes, I collect the Knott's pins!).
Also- does this art remind anyone of Seaside Heights in New Jersey (still too soon)?
Nope, you're not the only one! I loved Hammerhead, and I wish it was still there! It may not have been necessarily popular, but in my opinion it was one of the best themed flat rides!
I remember that there was a fountain at the base of Hammerhead, and after it closed a couple of the mermaids were moved to Perilous Plunge (and were then removed when that area was redone). If Knott's still has them, it would be cool if they found a new home inside of Iron Reef!
These are the mermaids I'm talking about- they were part of a larger fountain when Hammerhead was around.
Another mermaid (and a fish).
The important thing to note is the word "wind" is nowhere in the title.

When does the construction for the underground show building start?
I'm really excited for this ride & I have to love that picture of Kraken attacking the Boardwalk. Saving Knotts from monsters sounds like a blast, especially it being four minutes. I'm sure this is a ride I'll want to ride over & over again.

Snapshot: Renault India has cited the continuous increase in the input and freight costs as the major reasons behind the increment.
Renault, the French automaker has joined the list of manufacturers to announce the hike in the prices of its vehicles from January 2018 in India. Various auto manufacturers like Tata Motors, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Honda have announced the same.
Renault India has cited the continuous increase in the input and freight costs as the major reasons behind the increment. Accordingly, the decision has been taken to partially offset its impact on the company's growth in future.
The increase will witness the rise in the prices of Renault Kwid, Renault Duster and Renault Lodgy. However, the prices of the newly launched SUV, Renault Captur, will be completely unaffected by the increment of the prices in the next year.
Renault's newest launch, the Captur SUV entered the Indian market in October this year and has been warmly welcomed in the Indian market. The crossover-ish designed SUV, Renault Captur, looks appealing with its curvy body along with flared arch wheels. It is offered in both, petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol variant derives its power from a 1.5-litre motor that develops a maximum power output of 108 bhp and a peak torque of 142 Nm. On the other hand, the diesel version is driven by a 1.5-litre K9K unit that manages to produce a maximum power output of 109 bhp against a peak torque of 240 Nm. It has been priced starting at Rs. 10 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base model and goes up to Rs. 14.06 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the top-end trim.
Renault India has already reported in October that it will be expanding the Kwid family in the near future. It has been working on a CMF-A+ based compact MPV that is most likely to arrive next year. Moreover, an electric variant of Renault Kwid is also scheduled to see its light in the country by 2022.

Q: Knox Gateway database connector Is it possible to write DB connector using Knox Provider extension?
I want Knox to expose endpoint in response to which Knox would put to or get from database records.

A: Depends on how you want to connect and what functionality you want to add. Currently, Knox support HTTP and Websockets protocols so if you are using JDBC to connect then that will not work. If you are using JDBC over HTTP (e.g. beeline) then that might work. Here are few links to Knox documentation

Sometimes it's hard enough to agree on what to have for dinner, much less try to design a home with your significant other. Finding home furnishings that you both love can be a challenge, but with a little compromise and creativity, it is definitely possible to find stylistic harmony under the same roof!
Here are a few ways to get past your differences and design a home that reflects both of your personalities and style preferences.
Find out what is most important to your partner.
Is it comfort? Color? Shape? Fabric versus leather? Price? Sit down and discuss what you both want and why. If your color preferences are extremely different, pick a gender-neutral color for bigger upholstered furniture pieces or window treatments. A few bold color accessories can highlight personal preferences – males typically prefer the neutral leathers and hardwoods, and women can add their own style with throw pillows, linens, and other accent pieces. Try mixing rustic styles with sleek, sensual fabrics, or contemporary furnishings with earthy, soft colors and textiles.
Give your partner the respect of listening to his or her point of view, because he or she has to live there too! You should both feel comfortable and happy with the furnishings in your home. Thankfully, with the range of options available at every price point, couples can find furniture to combine both of their preferences.
If you're just starting out and need to furnish you entire home, focus on one or two rooms at a time. This will help keep you both on the same page about what you need to shop for and help you see progress in your home more quickly. After you come to a consensus about the style of a certain piece, let your spouse do what he or she does best.
Women tend to enjoy doing some legwork at home, first by going through magazines and looking for ideas, searching for items online, comparing prices, and enjoying the shopping process in general. This helps men too, because they appreciate the more targeted approach to shopping and will be more helpful in making final decisions when you're actually in the store.
There's no rule that says all your furniture needs to be the same style – having an eclectic blend of home furnishings is perfectly acceptable. If you both like a particular item, buy it! Combining your styles will make your home a unique place that is a reflection of both of you.
Many furniture stores offer such benefits as interior design consulting, room planning guides and product brochures. Working with a designer can help you coordinate new furniture with your existing pieces, or they can help you design your home from the ground up and find solutions that will please both of you.
Having a designer's assistance not only can help you choose the right piece of furniture for your room, but he or she can help you and your spouse with space planning, traffic flow, color schemes, and coordinating fabrics. Designers also can help you find unique solutions to any unusual room layouts or space challenges you may be facing. They also have access to hundreds of catalogs of furnishings that are not on the store's showroom floor, giving you options that you may never have considered otherwise.
In other words, they can take your home from looking like a mish-mash of items to a complete "look" that works together seamlessly.
Your home is the place where you should be able to relax, recharge, be yourself, and nurture each other. Furnishing a home that allows you to do those things together should be a fun and rewarding experience. Enjoy the process of creating a home that is uniquely you!

Students and community members gathered in front of Silent Tree yesterday afternoon to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Organized by members of the Native American Student Association (NASA), the event was a part of a UC-wide action against the pipeline.
"I want to thank all of you for coming to this place, at this time," said Stan Rodriguez, linguist, community elder and a member of the Santa Ysabel Band of the Iipay Nation.
Burgundy Fletcher, Vice President of the Native American Student Alliance and one of the organizers, was happy to see students attend and support the action.
"We found out last year that the UC system invests, directly and indirectly, in the Dakota Access [Pipeline]," Fletcher said. The University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP) currently holds bonds in Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco Logistics, two companies involved in the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Apart from criticizing the DAPL, Fletcher criticized the campus for not doing more to encourage outreach and retention for Native students.
After organizers and community members spoke, they handed the megaphone over to students who wanted to speak. Speakers were encouraged to relate their words back to the marginalization of Native Americans.
Hamoun Dolatshahi, one of the organizers for the recent protest against President Trump's executive order on immigration, spoke in support of the action.
Francisco Ferreyra, Environmental Sustainability Officer at the UC Student Association, helped organize the UC-wide action. The event was organized "In a direct response to the Trump administration memorandum that advised the Army Corps of Engineers to abandon the Environmental Impact Statement ordered by President Obama," said Ferreyra.
Ferreyra expressed that actions would not stop until plans for finishing the pipeline are abandoned and the UC system divests fully from any DAPL-affiliated organizations.

History of the Canal
The Basingstoke Canal was conceived as an economical means of transportation for the development of agriculture in central Hampshire. The first route to be surveyed in 1769 was a line northwards to the Thames at Monkey Island, Bray, but the engineering problems proved it would be too costly. In 1776 a 44-mile route eastwards from Basingstoke, to link with the River Wey Navigation and the Thames at Weybridge, was considered.
The route included a loop round Greywell Hill that took the canal up to Rotherwick, with a short arm going to Turgis Green, but this met with opposition from the owner of nearby Tylney Hall. As a result, a decision was made to tunnel through Greywell Hill rather than go round it, and this route, reduced to 37 miles, was approved by an Act of Parliament (right) in 1778.
However work did not commence until nine years later owing to financial restraints as a result of the costly War of American Independence.

Leading flexible packaging company Uflex is investing Rs 1,800 crore (about $284 million) to grow its output and add new products as demand for packaging material rises in India amid changing retail patterns.
The Noida-headquartered company will invest Rs 550 crore in setting up a plant in Sanand, Gujarat, to make packaging materials for liquid products. R.K. Jain, Uflex Ltd's group president for corporate finance and accounts, said land has been acquired for the facility, which will be operational in April 2017 and employ about 800 people.
The Gujarat factory will produce seven billion packs per year for liquid products such as energy drinks, milk and juices, and about 90 per cent of the output will be used for the domestic market, Jain told BW Businessworld in an interview. Uflex manufactures both packaging materials and equipment and is a market leader in India in the segment. A big chunk of its supplies goes to the food and beverage industry. Uflex has manufacturing facilities in Noida in Uttar Pradesh, Malanpur in Madhya Pradesh and in Jammu. Overseas facilities are located in Dubai, Egypt, Mexico, Poland and North America. Jain said the company is growing its overseas business as well.


Alongside the sha'ir, and often as his poetic apprentice, was the rawi or reciter.
The job of the rawi was to learn the poems by heart and to recite them with explanations and probably often with embellishments.
The measuring unit of seas is known as "taf'īlah", and every sea contains a certain number of taf'ilas which the poet has to observe in every verse (bayt) of the poem.
For example, Tufayl trained 'Awas ibn Hajar, 'Awas trained Zuhayr, Zuhayr trained his son Ka`b, Ka`b trained al-Hutay'ah, al-Hutay'ah trained Jamil Buthaynah and Jamil trained Kuthayyir `Azza.
Among the most famous poets of the pre-Islamic era are Imru' al-Qais, Samaw'al ibn 'Adiya, al-Nabigha, Tarafa, Zuhayr bin Abi Sulma, and Antarah ibn Shaddad.
While such poets were identified closely with their own tribes, others, such as al-A'sha, were known for their wanderings in search of work from whoever needed poetry.
The very best of these early poems were collected in the 8th century as the Mu'allaqat meaning "the hung poems" (because they were hung on or in the Kaaba) and the Mufaddaliyat meaning al-Mufaddal's examination or anthology.
Al-Akhfash, a student of al-Farahidi, later added one more meter to make them sixteen.
The meters of the rhythmical poetry are known in Arabic as "seas" (buḥūr).
There are several characteristics that distinguish pre-Islamic poetry from the poetry of later times.
One of these characteristics is that in pre-Islamic poetry more attention was given to the eloquence and the wording of the verse than to the poem as whole.
The sha'ir represented an individual tribe's prestige and importance in the Arabian peninsula, and mock battles in poetry or zajal would stand in lieu of real wars.
'Ukaz, a market town not far from Mecca, would play host to a regular poetry festival where the craft of the sha'irs would be exhibited.
Modern poetry, on the other hand, deviated from classical poetry in its content, style, structure, rhyme and topics.

Brussel Sprouts with Lemon Pasta | Naturally.
Today I spent five hours in the kitchen. I can't tell you how much I needed that. I have eaten out far too much in the past couple of weeks but now I have a month off, I have no excuse.
I went to Chicago yesterday for a lovely (and please, put a sarcastic tone on lovely) day of shopping. I forgot how much I miss living in "civilization." I got to go to a mall, Crate and Barrel, Binny's, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods. I spent far too much money but it felt so good to go shopping. My college town has a Wal-mart, the end.
This pasta is super simple to make and taste amazing on a blustery winter day! If you can't find lemon pasta, just add some lemon zest to the cooking brussel sprouts.
Cook pasta according to package. If you are unable to find lemon pasta, use regular and add lemon zest to brussel sprout mixture.
While pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until for one minute and add in brussel sprouts. Cook until brussel sprouts are tender, about 8-10 minutes.. Toss in walnuts (and additional lemon zest if using). Continue to cook for two more minutes.
In a bowl combine drained pasta, brussel sprouts, and remaining tablespoon of oil. Top with additional lemon zest and/or parmesan cheese.

Turks in Denmark, also referred to as Turkish Danes or Danish Turks (; ) refers to ethnic Turkish people living in Denmark. They currently form the largest ethnic minority group in the country; thus, the Turks are the second largest ethnic group in Denmark, after the ethnic Danish people. The majority of Danish Turks descend from the Republic of Turkey; however, there has also been significant Turkish migration from other post-Ottoman countries including ethnic Turkish communities which have come to Denmark from the Balkans (e.g. from Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Romania), the island of Cyprus, and more recently Iraq and Syria.

History
At the end of the 1950s Denmark required a high labour demand which triggered labour immigration mainly from Turkey and Yugoslavia; consequently, alongside the Turkish migrants from Turkey, there was also a substantial number of Balkan Turks (e.g. Romanian Turks, Bosnian Turks etc) who arrived in Denmark. More recently, Iraqi Turks and Syrian Turks have also migrated to Denmark since the European migrant crisis.

Demographics
In 2008, a report published by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation stated that there was 70,000 people of Turkish origin who were Muslims. Thus, the Turks were the largest Danish Muslim population and accounted for 35% of the 200,000 Muslims. In 2015 the Turkish Danish population was around 75,000.

The majority of Turkish Danish people descend from Turkey; however, some have also arrived from other post-Ottoman countries. For example, there was approximately 2,000 Turkish Iraqi immigrants in Denmark in 2010 (excluding descendants).

Culture

Language

Within the home environment the mother tongue is most dominant and children are expected to speak Turkish. However, Danish is spoken outside the home creating a bilingual identity.

Religion

The majority of Turks regard themselves as Muslims. They worship their religion mainly within their own Turkish community and are subdivided mainly by political or religious differences. The Diyanet supports mosque associations in Denmark and controls the majority of the religious organisations used by the community. The "Danish Turkish Islamic Foundation" () is part of the Diyanet and is the largest Muslim organisation in Denmark. The Diyanet's major competing Islamic networks are the Millî Görüş as well as the Alevi association.

In 2008 a report published by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation estimated that the Danish Turks formed 70,000 out of a total of 200,000 Muslims in the country. Hence, one-third of the country's Muslims were of Turkish origin.
