Blow For Man City Ajax Starlet Agrees To Join PSG De Jong seems destined to become Ajax's most expensive sale ever - beating the £35m that Tottenham had to pay for Davinson Sanchez past year .
The news, according to a New York Post/Reuters report, is the latest expansion of the concept which began with one Amazon Go store in Seattle.
According to a Friday report from Reuters, the e-commerce giant is looking at "top USA airports" for new Amazon Go locations, where customers scan their smartphones at a turnstile to enter, and then cameras identify what they can take from the shelves.
Amazon is in talks with management at various major airports to bring its cashier-less shopping experience called Amazon Go to the millions of fliers in the USA.
Amazon Go stores would certainly stand-out from other airport retailers. However, if Amazon Go is to make the leap, it would need to convince concession officials that its technology would work in an airport environment.
State Department official warned that Moscow must release the Ukrainian sailors or face growing consequences. Pahon said the plane had 17-member crew from the 55th Wing based at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
"I am looking forward to moving forward with the Amazon Go technology at the airport", San Jose airport's information technology manager wrote following a meeting with Amazon in an email acquired by Reuters.
Reuters was told by officials from both LAX and SJC that no further correspondence has taken place since June, and that if Amazon wants its stores in their airports, it will have to go through the same bidding process as everyone else. Amazon declined to comment to Reuters.
It's unclear how many airports Amazon may be targeting, nor whether it is eyeing any destinations outside of the US.
"Think about how you can expose your brand", the person familiar with the matter said, on condition of anonymity. What is more, many airports are publicly run and require would-be concessionaires to put in public bids for retail space. "You'll be able to build broad awareness just being in a dozen of the best airports". A concessions manager for Dallas Fort Worth International Airport even contacted the vice president of Amazon Go regarding becoming "the first Airport Amazon Go location" back in September, CNBC reported.

Having only three PRCA events during the final week of October may sound scary, but the Halloween-season action was as sweet as usual with $288,783 in prize money up for grabs.
The fastest times and highest scores might not always make the record book, but they make a lasting memory for fans and competitors. With about 650 PRCA competitions across the Western Hemisphere each year, there are plenty of opportunities to make a memorable ride.
Although the prize money differs from one competition to the next, the judging remains consistent across the board.
In addition to the fame that comes with winning the most prize money, each ride was a chance to be the best of the week. Here's a look at the highest scores and fastest times for each event during that period.
Two bareback riders scored 87 points each at the Cinch World's Toughest Rodeo in Indianapolis this week. Tanner Aus made his ride during the Oct. 24 bonus round on Three Hills Rodeo's Big Show.
Blake Smith equaled Aus' performance, and it wasn't the first time this season Smith had an impressive ride. For the second week in a row, the bareback rider had one of the highest-scored rides of the week. On Oct. 19, he scored 85 points on Powder River Rodeo's Joker at the NILE ProRodeo in Billings, Mont. Then on Oct. 25, he made an 87-point ride on Three Hills Rodeo's Fantasia in Indianapolis. He returned for the bonus round that same day and scored yet another 87-point ride on Three Hills Rodeo's Rocky.
The fastest steer wrestling runs of the week both happened in the second round of the RAM Mountain States Circuit Finals Rodeo in Loveland, Colo., Oct. 26. Beau Clark and Kalane Anders both clocked in at 3.6 seconds to split the win for the round.
Team ropers Garett Chick and J.W. Borrego made a 4.9-second run at the RAM MSCFR Oct. 26.
Saddle bronc rider Jake Finlay nailed two 87-point rides this week, both in Indianapolis, Oct. 26. His first ride came on Three Hills Rodeo's Prom Night, before duplicating it the same day in the bonus round on Three Hills Rodeo's All Country.
Tuf Cooper made a 7.5-second run in tie-down roping at The San Angelo (Texas) 65th Annual Cinch Roping Fiesta, Oct. 27.
Barrel racer Ivy Conrado clocked in at 15.40 seconds at the RAM MSCFR Oct. 27.
Steer roper Garrett made an 11.3-second run in San Angelo, Oct. 28.
Bull rider Clayton Sellars made an 89-point ride on Three Hills Rodeo's Gypsy Wind during the Oct. 26 bonus round at Indianapolis.

Pierre Zakrzewski: Our Man in…
Kabul. Syria. Kashmir. Leopardstown. Caracas. Baghdad. Sudan. Liberia. Kyiv.
St. Conleth's College is used to having 'far-flung' alumni, with impromptu Past Pupil reunions regularly springing up all over the globe, but Pierre Zakrzewski must have set the record for geographical variety during his incredible but all-too-short life and career. But wherever Pierre was calling from, the voice and the essential personality remained the same: warm and sincere, humble yet inspirational.
Dublin 1987
Ronan O'Kelly, Captain of the Class of 1984, has a well-earned reputation as being a one-man 'nanny state'. Some Class Captains shirk their post-graduation duties of maintaining contact with their classmates, as the years pile up along with children and dogs and ex-spouses; some do a half-decent job of keeping everyone in the loop and then corralling them quinquennially into their Past Pupil Dinner; and then there is Ronan, a.k.a. 'Mr. St. Conleth's, Junior'. Long before 'Find-My-Phone' and tracking apps, Ronan would know the location of every single member of his graduating class, at any time, all the time, with one significant exception: Pierre Zakrzewski. The funny thing is that Ronan and Pierre were the best of friends from the time they met in Fifth Form, sometime in the 1970's, until the fateful news last week. An odd couple, perhaps, the insurance man and the ultimate insurance risk, but they were united by an unabashed enthusiasm for life and an appreciation for the role St. Conleth's played in setting that spark and nurturing the flame.
The Class of 1984 (Pierre is in the back row, third from right.)
Over the years, Pierre did show up in person at many of the Class of 1984 informal Christmas drinks sessions, but there would also be times that a phone call would have to do: Pierre's warm voice and infectious enthusiasm spilling through a crackling line. Inevitably, Pierre would be crouched in his curb side 'office' risking his life to bring light to some dark dealings in a unfashionable corner of the globe and, just as inevitably, Pierre would pass it off as if he were just working the late shift at a car-parts factory in Potsdam. No name-dropping, and no holier-than-thou condescension, but with each visit and call, Ronan and the other classmates and friends would glean a bit more of Pierre's life out there in the real world: titbits both thrilling and terrifying.
Venezuela February 2019 – telling ROK that he couldn't make it back to the PPU Dinner.
Afghanistan, Syria, Kashmir… no, not your typical 'gap year' locations: Pierre was not some hipster adventurer, merely going off-piste for the sake of personal gratification or to spur the jealousy of friends who were stuck for a week with half board at Kelly's of Rosslare, instead. Pierre was a true professional, and tributes elsewhere attest to his dedication and skill with the camera and his ability to adapt and persevere despite the almost comically complicated conditions of being a freelancer in the world's least hospitable hotspots. After Pierre's death, Fox News waxed poetically and truthfully of the esteem with which he was held by his colleagues: not just for his professionalism but for his winning personality, too. Perhaps in an industry known for cut-throat screen preening, Pierre's warmth and honesty stood out all the more. But Pierre was more than the stereotypical friendly, chatty Irishman. Last year, he played a key role in getting Afghan freelance associates and their families out of the country after the abrupt U.S. withdrawal and, in December, he was awarded the "Unsung Hero" award during the FOX News Media Spotlight Awards. What Pierre did in Kabul for both friends and strangers, he also did in Syria, in Kashmir, in Sudan…. he always got 'that shot' for the newsreel, but the essence of the man came to the fore before and after the camera was rolling: a passion for people and for doing the right thing by them.
South Sudan 2018
Some people pass away and the tributes and platitudes pass away soon afterwards. With Pierre, it has been, and will be, quite different. The testaments, the memories and the stories have just multiplied and mushroomed in the days since his passing: how could one man have touched so many lives? Well, we have just a few more to add to the legacy of the man with the fondness for moustaches and motorcycles and making people better about themselves.
Marie-Ange, Pierre's mother, attests to his difficult start in life: 'Pierre was a very premature baby, born a few days before the seventh month and spent two months in hospital. We were told he would not walk, or speak.' So much for the prophetic abilities of paediatricians! After learning to walk and talk quite well, Pierre joined his brothers Stash, Nicholas and Gregoire at St. Conleth's and took full part in the academic and social life of the school: his keynote speech at the 2004 Past Pupil Dinner attested to this, and how such Conlethian legends as Kevin Kelleher, Louis Feutren and Paul Mullins helped shape and sharpen his zest for life and adventure. And of course, the camaraderie and friendship of classmates, such as Ronan and Stephen O'Dea and Ronan Hingerty, also played their part: Pierre may have 'marched to a different drummer' but he never walked alone.
Afghanistan March 2020
Upon graduation Pierre tried Arts at UCD for a short time but he quickly realised that the subtle thrills of the BA were not for him and so began his wanderings with purpose. Ronan relates how Pierre turned up at an early gathering of '84ers with a cool-looking hiker's rucksack, packed full of… bricks. Pierre was trying out his gear on a Dalkey-Howth pilgrimage, with a dogleg to a cold storage unit in Sandyford, where the new cold-weather sleeping bag was getting a try-out. Pure Pierre. And then he was gone. But the stories drifted back, sometimes with the man himself, sometimes through the close network of friends… and we don't mean of the Facebook variety. Pierre's famous climbing of approximately 75% of Everest is typical: inveterate adventurer that he was, his decency and sense of humanity were deeper, and Pierre balked at the waste of money to be spent on oxygen for the summit and mere self-aggrandisement. He instead spent his money and time on, depending on the relater of the tale, either helping a fellow climber down or repatriating the body of one who had fallen: knowing Pierre, he probably did both. Imagine how beneficial to this regular gang who were negotiating career progression and mortgages and normal lives were the tales of Pierre? Besieged and targeted in Kashmir for documenting human rights abuses. Stuck to the seat of a motorcycle, retracing his family's journey from war-torn Poland. Embedded with the first tanks rolling into Baghdad. Poised for the white smoke in Rome. Bivouacked on the shores of the Blue Nile. Hunkered down east of Kyiv.
The tragedy of and triumph of Pierre's last chapter has a particular resonance with Conlethians. We have all been schooled on how Bernard Sheppard inauspiciously opened the doors of the school on the very day in September 1939 on which World War II started, but it was always used in rhetorical contrast: look how we were different, look how far we have come. Pierre's passing has brought that story to the fore, again. While Mr. Sheppard was embarking on a brave new adventure in education, Pierre's father's family was fleeing for their lives from the horrors of war. This heritage played an important part in how Pierre lived his live and chose his life's work. The suffering of the victim of war and the plight of the refugee were nearly always the focus of his camera and his passion. Our last glimpse of Pierre was sent last Sunday from the eastern outskirts of Kyiv, mere hours before his death. There is no irony but only tragedy and triumph in the circumstances of Pierre's passing: once again he was doing what he loved for the people whom he loved, that is… everyone.
Ukraine, last Sunday 11:30am


The Annual Renaissance Faire will be held on May 6th through the 7th, 2000. This is a change from the normal one date faire. We have stretched it by suggestion of the vendors and performers. Let's just hope we don't die for it. It also has been moved from the DMZ to north campus at Lytle Field. This was also by suggestion. We are very excited about this years faire not only for the changes but for the cast, crew, and script.
The Plot: Two twins brothers declare themselves to have better taste than the other. The noble lord fancies the court players while his brother enjoys the simpler lifestyle of the peasant traveling troupe. Both are set to proove the other wrong. Thusly the faire begins. Both troupes will do performances during the day. The conflict will climax when the two troupes prepare to do their scenes only to be set on the same stage. Hilarity ensues and the conflict is resolved by way of.....you'll have to come to find out. I can't give away everything.
The Entertainment: The traveling and court players will present various theatrical performances during the day. Minstrels will be wandering the faire grounds. Magicians will fill us with wonder. A mock trial of a wench, who will remain nameless, will be done. Storytellers will entertain us. The House of Temptation's Middle Eastern Dance Troupe will tempt us. And much more to be added.
The Vendors: Many vendors will be gracing us with their presence.
Eclectasy - oils, garb, etc.

Q: The isomorphisms between two vector spaces Let $V$ and $W$ be two vector spaces over real number field, if they are isomorphic as vector spaces over rational number field, are they isomorphic as real  vector spaces ?

A: Hint: Of course you know that $\Bbb R$ is not isomorphic to $\Bbb R\times\Bbb R$ as $\Bbb R$ vector spaces.
Did you check to see what the $\Bbb Q$ dimensions of both of those spaces would be?

A: No. $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{R}^2$ are isomorphic as vector spaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ but not as vector spaces over $\mathbb{R}$.

Home Medicine Diabetes Do women's personality traits affect their risk of diabetes?
In a recent study published in the journal Menopause, researchers examined whether personality traits are associated with the risk of diabetes in postmenopausal women.
Diabetes affects more than 30 million Americans to this date. The risk of diabetes increases with age, and type 2 diabetes is the most common type. Adults account for about 90-94% of all type 2 diabetes diagnosed cases. Body weight, family history of diabetes, race/ethnicity, and physical activity are all risk factors in developing diabetes.
In a recent study published in the Journal of The North American Menopause Society, researchers reviewed whether personality traits were linked to the risk of diabetes in postmenopausal women. Researchers gathered data from 139,924 postmenopausal women without diabetes at the beginning of the study and followed them for 14 years. The women all ranged from ages 50 to 79 years, and all came from the Women's Health Initiative.
Researchers found that during the 14 years of follow-up, 19,240 women enrolled in the study developed type 2 diabetes. Researchers compared women that were least optimistic with those that were optimistic and found those with the most optimism had a 12% lower risk of diabetes. The results also show women that expressed negative emotions had a 9% and 17% higher risk of diabetes. The connection with the risk of diabetes was stronger in obese women than non-obese women.
Women with low optimism, high negativity and high hostility were at a higher risk of diabetes than those with high optimism. Researchers mentioned the use of personality traits in helping to identify women at higher risks for developing diabetes and provide them with a more personalized education and treatment and prevention strategies.

This image series continues the theme of Arcadia, but takes the idea of narrative further linked to the video game: Dreamfall and Australian Aboriginal mythology of The Dreamtime. But the narrative was very much driven by the printmaking process and the way the collagraph prints turned out. In the heat of the heatwave and given the textural nature of the collagraph plate it was not always possible to predict what would print, where the ink would dry fastest and how the textures would work. The plate was also quite fragile despite three coats of shellac and so I removed ink through doing multiple prints rather than cleaning. Then collaged the parts of the prints I liked onto a backing of card.
In general I am pleased with the aesthetic of images 2 and 3. For the first image 'Arcadia' I prefer the digital version. I would also like to take the project further with a more explicit narrative and more images.
The design originated in photo screen print experiments based on one of the photos of the Cambridge Grand Arcade from Project 5.1. The process used is described in Screenprinting. When rotated and inverted and overlaid these produces some very interesting images : temples, fields.
From these I started exploring the idea of 'Arcadia' for an imaginative collaged monotype – see digital experiments below.
As I searched further on the Internet about the idea of Arcadia I found it has also been a common element in modern Science Fiction and Computer Games. During a Google search on 'Arcadia' and further research from the Wikipedia page Arcadia I came across Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. This Norwegian game conceived by Ragnar Tornquist. takes place in the parallel universes of Arcadia as the primordial original world representing fantasy, dreams and magic and Stark, as our world of science and technology. It has a strong female protagonist, April Ryan, an 18-year-old art student living in Stark, identified as a 'Shifter' capable of movement between these worlds, and tasked with restoring their essential Balance.
The theme then developed with the printmaking process into a narrative series of A2 prints from a displayboard cut collagraph with carborundum using different colours, papers and collaged elements. These were loosely inspired by Dreamfall and Game of Thrones aesthetic.
I had originally intended one large A2 monoprint based on the screenprints.
I used this as the basis for a collagraph plate using a card cutting and carborundum technique I learned from Charles Shearer at a workshop at Curwen Print Centre.
I traced the image from digital printouts and made the collagraph plate using different depths of cut and filling the deepest cuts with carborundum. I liked the spiky forms in the middle of the image that look like deer or wings that became more pronounced in the tracing removing the colour detail from the digital image.
As I was working on this there was a lot on the news about global warming, forest fires and warnings of global catastrophe. So instead of one image I thought I would try a narrative series of variations from the image as 'fall from arcadia' or 'The Dreaming' drawing on aboriginal mythology and art I had been looking at in the British Museum as well as Dreamfall. Suggested more by the image I now had than trying to follow any definite story.
This image was more like the original concept – bright colours with temples, meadows, live creatures. I started with yellow and a mix of Phthalo Green. Then tried adding a little magenta. An interesting discovery was to use water with the caligo inks – this produces a wash effect that looks like wind or clouds. I then started to cut out and collage the different elements together to make the image more interesting and 3-dimensional.
The final image adds some gold on the temple. I originally intended and designed the collage with the temple at the bottom. But then found the top was too stark. Maybe a narrative of the conjoined figures in the gold temple at the bottom moving up through the forest to a bleak future at the top?
I tried the image the other way up and find this more positive as an image with a shrine of gold and happy couple at the top. The collage itself is more texturally interesting and less blotchy than the photographed image below.
This second image is influenced by the television coverage of global warming and a creeping pessimism about the future. It uses a darker green print (not shown here) collaged with magenta cartridge and tissue paper prints. Here the deer are fleeing away – empty temple and strong-arm oil refinery and lost people wandering about at the top.
I originally intended this image to have the temple at the bottom is bleaker with its empty temple and the robotic figures at the top. I worked quite hard on little narrative vignettes with the image this way up. I did later consider turning the image upside down to be consistent with the other two images. The effect is more menacing and I like the downward diagonals. But as a series I found having all three images the same way up a bit boring, and I lost the little narrative vignettes.
This final image combines Prussian Blue prints of the plate with tissue paper abstracts that I have been collecting from cleaning plates and rollers. I cut through the cartridge paper print into a stencilled image and cut out the crow shape from the more rainbow hosho paper print to put on top.
I then selected parts of the recycling tissue paper prints at the back to make narrative elements.
I again considered different ways up, and cut out the crow experimenting with different positions with the title 'Age of Crow'.
But in the end I abandoned the idea – partly because it would have been difficult to properly collage the thin fragile tissue paper crow over the collage (better done as an iPad digital collage). But also because when I looked again after a break I actually preferred the plain geometry and the back-images without. Now entitled 'Age of Ice'.


The Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC) is dedicated to the study, interpretation, and preservation of archeological resources within the National Park System, particularly within the Midwest Region of the National Park Service. Upon request, MWAC also works with parks in other regions of the National Park Service, as well as with units in other Federal agencies.
Archeological research takes place for a variety of reasons, using a wide range of methods and techniques. MWAC activities range from inventory investigations, aimed at identifying previously unrecorded archeological sites in parks, to data recovery investigations design to salvage data from known sites that are unavoidably threatened with damage or destruction. In addition to traditional methods of archeological survey and excavation, MWAC staff frequently apply techniques of geophysical exploration such as magnetic field intensity surveys, electrical resistivity surveys, and others.
Much research is also conducted in the office, using data archived from decades of previous archeological work in the parks. MWAC professionals commonly combine geospatial, historic, and archival data to develop research proposals for new projects, to conduct analyses on field data from current projects, and to address novel research questions as stand-alone projects.


Online education is a multimillion-dollar industry that will not go away any time soon.
In the U.S. alone, there are around six million students who are enrolled in online higher education classes. This number does not include the millions of high school and elementary school children who might need tutoring too.
With this growth in education online also comes the opportunity to teach and/or tutor online. And indeed, there is money to be made by becoming an online tutor.
But how do I find positions to become an online tutor?
Do I need a teaching degree?
If you clicked over to read this post, chances are you would like to have the questions above answered. Well, you are in the right place!
In this post, we will talk about how to get paid to be an online tutor even if you're brand new and just starting out.
Whether you are choosing to tutor on a full-time or part-time basis, it is important that you choose an area of expertise.
What exactly do you teach? English? Math? French? Do you help people pass standardized tests like the SAT or MCAT?
When people are looking for tutors online, they are looking for someone with specific knowledge who can help them crush that particular subject.
Thus it is important to decide which subject you want to focus on. Doing so will help you market yourself better and help you get paid faster.
What you majored in or are majoring in during college.
Which subjects you have done well in.
If you are a language student, chances are you might be good at becoming a language tutor. If you get As in all your required and elective math classes, chances are that you might be an excellent math tutor.
While a teaching degree or license is not required to become an online tutor, it certainly does not hurt to have one.
Once you have chosen a topic you're comfortable with tutoring in, the next step is to find some clients!
The lowest hanging fruit when it comes to finding tutoring clients is to sign up on tutoring websites and create a profile.
Several of these websites require that you take a subject test proving your proficiency in the subject. Once you have done that, the website will allow you to start taking on clients.
Another way for you to find clients is to leverage Craigslist.
Because of the local nature of Craigslist, you could either post an ad for your online tutoring services or you could find someone who is looking for you.
If you are serious about becoming a well-paid online tutor, optimize your LinkedIn profile for it.
As you continue to grow, you will realize that most of your business comes from word-of-mouth marketing.
By optimizing your LinkedIn profile for your expertise and interacting on the platform, you stay top-of-mind. This way, if any of your connections on LinkedIn are looking for tutor for their child or a friend's child, you will come to mind and thus will get the referral.
This is because they could become your very first clients.
The beautiful thing about tutoring online is that you will not need to get out of your house.
What is essential, however, is that you have a computer with a stable Internet connection. You will also need a webcam so that you can have a face-to-face conversation with your clients/students. Most webcams these days have in-built microphones that are excellent.
However, if you wanted to pick up an extra microphone, I highly recommend getting the Blue Snowball or Blue Yeti microphones for crisp sound.
This entire post is about how to get paid to be an online tutor. So now that you have chosen a subject area to be a master and gotten your clients, how do you get paid?
If you are primarily finding clients through the websites like the ones we listed above, it is going to be different for each website.
In most instances, you will enter in how many hours you tutored and get paid your hourly rate via direct deposit into your bank account or through PayPal.
If you are getting your clients independently, sending in an invoice after each session is one way to go about it.
In a business, reviews are everything. Get enough bad reviews and nobody will want to do business with you. Get good reviews and you might never even have to pitch your services because of all of the referral business.
Wyzant.com, for instance, allows people to leave you reviews. If you are tutoring a lot but not getting reviews, ask your students to sign in and leave you some.
Online tutoring can become a profitable source of income for you whether you want to do it on a part-time or full-time basis.
In this post, we covered how to get paid to be an online tutor. You can start implementing these tips today. So get to it!

Cork City Council issue tidal flood warning as Storm Sebastien makes it's way to Ireland
Be very careful as heavy rain and gale force winds are coming
Cork City Council have issued a tidal flood warning as the remnants of Storm Sebastien makes it's way to Ireland.
Met Eireann are predicting heavy rain and gale force winds on Tuesday, which in turn could raise the risk of flooding in parts of the country.
Cork is expected to be particularly affected by the tail end of Sebastien.
"Cork City Council wish to advise that there will be a period of very high astronomical Spring Tides from Tuesday 26th November until Wednesday 27th November," a Cork City Council spokesman said.

"A tidal surge and periodic strong southerly/south-easterly winds are also predicted over the next few days. These factors combined will result in tide levels higher than the natural tide levels.
"From Tuesday morning until Wednesday evening, prior to and after these tides, there is a significant risk of tidal flooding in the City.
"Householders and Businesses should take Precautionary Measures to protect property."
The council are also warning that certain low-lying areas will be hit worst by the awful weather.
The spokesman continued: "It is likely that flooding will occur in the low lying areas of the City Centre in particular on Morrison's Quay, Fr. Mathew Quay, Fr. Mathew Street, Union Quay, Trinity Bridge, South Terrace, Lavitts Quay, Kyrls Street, Kyrls Quay, Crosses Green, Sharman Crawford St and Wandesford Quay.

BAE Systems to enhance US Navy's maritime operations and flight safety&nbspsystems
The US Navy has awarded BAE Systems a prime contractor position on a new contract to enhance maritime operations and flight safety systems aboard new construction aircraft carriers and large deck amphibious ships, to include refuelling and complex overhaul ships.
BAE Systems was one of three contractors awarded the opportunity to bid on future integration, engineering, assembly, testing, and installation focused task orders awarded throughout an eight-year ordering period. The work will be performed to enhance a variety of distributed systems that provide network capabilities, communications, command and control, intelligence, and non-tactical data management.
A majority of the work awarded will take place near the US Navy's Test and Integration Facility Complex, alternatively known as the C4I-System Innovation Facility, located at Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic in Charleston, SC.
Additional work is slated for shipyards in Pascagoula, MS; Newport News, VA; and Norfolk, VA.
Mark Keeler, Vice President and General Manager of BAE Systems' Integrated Defense Solutions business, said: "As a leading systems integrator, we continuously seek to broaden our support to the US Navy to advance its C5ISR capabilities.
"We are working with our defence customers to innovate our approach to systems development to better meet their ever evolving mission requirements in alignment with construction and modernisation priorities."

I'm not suggesting that at all, it would still be horrible either way, regardless of rather or not they're real groups. As for the book, the writer clearly wanted people to read it, and the few who have tried to carry out some the things it describe, the Oklahoma city bombing is one such example.
Zheyno Sep 15, 2020
I doubt Oklahoma City Bombing had any to do with the book and more out of revenge for the Waco Massacre. And plus this line you're drawing includes stories such as "V for Vendetta"
No, I mention because Timothy McVeigh was inspired by it and the book described an event very similar to what happened in the real world...
"As he drove toward the Murrah Federal Building in the Ryder truck, McVeigh carried with him an envelope containing pages from The Turner Diaries – a fictional account of white supremacists who ignite a revolution by blowing up the FBI headquarters at 9:15 one morning using a truck bomb." - from Wikipedia article on the event. Very curious why McVeigh would take pages of the book with him when he did his attack.
It might have been Feds planting evidence trying to deter attention away from Waco. These are the same people who have, time and time again played dirty to advance an neoliberal capitalist agenda.
Besides McVeigh's anger for the government came from how he was treated in the military and after, not from overtly racial reasons.
Sure they did, if that's the case then explain the other Neo-Nazis (one of which being the Order, a real-life Neo-Nazi group who murdered a Jewish radio host) who used the book as an influence, face it, its' a Neo-Nazi "book" (a very pisspoor book at that) that has sense inspired, and the FBI was caught off guard by this attack but the nature of it did remind them of the book in question.
Even if it is the case, then religious books would carry the same stigma of promoting "evil". But they don't, unless being labeled so by a state or state backed institution.
If one cannot draw a line without making exceptions, then should be no line. For artistic expression differs from one individual to another and can only be appreciated through self-discovery.
I get that, but religious texts are often open for interpretation, that's why we have so many different sects within every major religion in the world, there's not that much room for interpretation, especially with the writer's open Neo-Nazi beliefs and his... well... hatried of literally anyone who doesn't share his beliefs or looks like him, I mean, he clearly hates Neo-Confederates, KKK and other supremacists largely because they're not Neo-Nazis, and I got that from his book which is expressed via his written Neo-Nazi organization, known as... the Organization... Neo-Nazis aren't that creative when it comes to names apparently... Especially a Neo-Nazi who hates everyone.
The President of America is often labeled a nazi, yet he isn't behaving like described. Could that term be open to interpretation as well?

About 3 times in the last week, I've been reminded of my UWP & Me blog from a couple of years ago. Last week, I actually had a girl who I'd never met say, "Oh you're a blogger. Yeah, I don't read many blogs; I used to read a blog written by a lady who went back to college, but she stopped going to school. She was really funny." I was all like..."Hey, that was ME!"
I, too, miss the UWP & Me blog. I loved going to school! But as much as I loved learning new things in class, I really loved the constant reminder that living is learning too! Going back to school, helped my realize I didn't need a degree to do great things.
These are some of my favorite posts from UWP & Me. Enjoy!
Day 3, Day 5, Day 27, Day 23, Semester 2 Day 2, Semester 2 Day 8, Day 19, Semester 2 Day 6.
But apparently, I need to be going to school to get inspired to write funny things! Anyone feel like paying my tuition?!

THERE ARE NO ATHIESTS IN FOXHOLES
Every B-17 crew had a photo just like this
_"There are no atheists in foxholes." (Attributed to Ernie Pyle)
A Foggia story
At MacDill Field, near Tampa, Florida, I met my co-pilot, navigator, engineer, radio operator, tail gunner, ball turret gunner, and two waist gunners. We spent the next six weeks training together. Then on to our port of embarkation, Savannah, Georgia, where we got a brand new B-17G to fly to our combat destination. It had a great new-aeroplane smell. After a few days getting to know it, we flew to Bangor, Maine where we got "sealed" orders. We knew it would be either England and the 8th Air Force, or Italy and the 15th, but we could not open the orders until out of the continental US.
As soon as we were airborne everyone clamored to know our destination, but sticking to the book, I waited until our navigator, Ardrah "Ike" Buddin, announced that we were over Canada, opened the envelope and on the intercom announced that we were headed for Italy.
Other crews had the same orders but we flew individually and at each stop would meet, eat, shower, compare flights, and sleep. First stop out of U.S.A. was Goose Bay, Labrador, then the Azores, then Rabat, Tunisia, then Cairo, Egypt, then Gioia, Italy, and finally Foggia, where we set up a tent with officers of another crew, pilot, Roy Arndt, co-pilot, William McDougal, navigator, Eugene Cowen. Our enlisted crews, six men each, had two tents directly across the unpaved company street.
The first night we gravitated to a toufa stone hut that served as the officers' bar. Those with their final mission to go, the 35th of 35, got toasted. A bombardier being toasted held his drink so shakily, wine slopped out. A captain, Caduceus on his shirt showing he was a flight surgeon, said, "Poor bastard has only one more mission or I'd ground him."
The day before our first mission, Ike, my navigator, needled Roy Arndt, who was a professed atheist.
"Wait until you see flak exploding. You'll start believing in God."
Arndt, from Wisconsin, taciturn to the point of sullen, said nothing. We were waked for our mission at four in the morning. That evening after returning, Arndt looked at Ike and said, "I'm still an atheist."

SCR network map for V1.4-V1.5
The Stepford County Railway, more commonly referred to as SCR, is a heavy rail system that serves as the primary rail network for Stepford County, spanning most of the county and other regions. The first section of the SCR opened on the 25th of November 2017, and the network has grown rapidly since then to link various districts and areas.
The SCR network is owned by Network Rail and Transport For Stepford, which manages most stations on the network as of Version 1.7. keeps services flowing smoothly, and assists staff members in train traffic control.
As of October 2020, the SCR network has 61 stations in full operation, spread across four lines. There are 50 routes in which trains run on, with more routes being put into service in the near future.
2 Operations
2.1 Jobs
2.2 Train Identification
2.3 Safety Measures
The founder, Charlie_RBX (then named MAGICMOVIESTEAM1) , opened up SCR to the public on the 25th of November 2017, with Stepford Connect being the first and only operator. The only route and train were Stepford Central (named Stepford Town at the time) <> Port Benton and the Class 700, respectively. Later that year, Stepford Connect spread its services to the suburbs of Benton. This sub-operator was named WaterLine due to its close proximity to the River Ben along its Port Benton - Greenslade section. The development of SCR between late 2017 and April of 2018 was very stagnant. On the 21st of April, the biggest update yet, called The Big Update, changed the complete foundation and fabric that the system of SCR was built upon. From this point forward, it is noteworthy that SCR, as a game, has ascended out of the Beta stage and is now in Version 1.0. Version 1.1 introduced 13 new stations to SCR, as well as a new operator; AirLink, which held its grand opening on New Year's Eve of 2018. AirLink now carries passengers between Stepford Central and Stepford Airport Central in just under 10 minutes, compared to 15 minutes via Stepford Connect. About a month later, in February 2019, Terminals 1, 2 and 3 were added. At the end of April, Version 1.2 was released, adding 6 new stations, 4 of which were made by Mattyx2013, the new Operations Director (now former PDV). In mid-May, Version 1.3 was released with the new Class 158 and Class 508, the first trains to have proper interiors and working doors. Throughout the year, more and more of the trains on the network were upgraded to Next Generation. In mid-December, Version 1.4 was released, which included a new operator, Stepford Express, and also the new extension to Llyn-by-the-Sea, made up of eight new stations. In May 2020, Version 1.5 was released with a new role, Guard, and this update introduced brand new liveries for Stepford Connect and Waterline. At the end of May, a sneak-peek showed that SCR is changing its logo. Version 1.6 was released in June 2020 with a new extension to Willowfield on Stepford Connect, along with the Morganstown Shuttle on Waterline. A full rebrand has been made to those two operators' fleets, and some existing stations have been upgraded. In October 2020, Version 1.7 was released and brought the Stepford Express rebrand and extension to Morganstown, rebuilt Class 801, Upper Staploe being put back into service, renovated stations, new uniforms, and a redo of the manual signalling system.
For more information about the history of SCR, see Timeline of Events. For information about list of updates to the game, see Changelog. The old map is on the right.
The main part of the railway is driving. It would however not be complete without Dispatchers, Guards and Signallers controlling the network. Everyone in SCR starts as a Trainee Driver after joining the group, and ranks up the roles to be able to dispatch, guard and signal by going through training sessions and application processes. Supervisors+ supervise their corresponding Members to ensure that they are working in a proper manner.
Train Identification
Before The Big Update, the railway solely relied on the numbering of the trains to identify them (e.g. 357001, 707028), until SCR implemented the Headcode system. This new identification system allows dispatchers, guards and signallers to communicate information regarding trains more efficiently, and also solve problems and delays.
In order to avoid collisions between trains, SCR operates with over 800 fully functional 4-aspect signals (more than 315 signals added after the Llyn extension). The signals can be controlled by Signallers. A great majority of these signals are also fitted with another aspect that simultaneously lights up when the signal is at amber. This aspect shows a white "45," which advises drivers to drive at 45 miles per hour, which is the optimal speed to be at for a train to brake for a potential danger aspect. However, in order to drive effectively, drivers need a system to notify them of the next signal's state. The Automatic Warning System (AWS) takes care of this issue. When the AWS recognizes a non-Proceed signal ahead, a yellow circle with an exclamation mark appears on the train driver's HUD, alongside with a loud beep sound. This tells the driver to slow down and prepare for a stop. The driver must click it or press Q on their keyboard to accept the warning within six seconds. When the driver fails to acknowledge the warning or stop before passing a signal at Danger/red, the Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) triggers an emergency brake for the train to forcefully stop the train.
In the Version 1.1 update, a new speed limit indicator was installed on the driver's HUD, which relays the speed limit to the driver of the train on the section of track they are driving on.
About 2 months later, a new signal indicator was installed on the driver's HUD, which tells the driver what the next signal will be.
In February 2020, with the release of Version 1.4.1, new shunt signals were introduced at Faymere Green TMD. 2 white lights mean proceed and 2 red mean stop.
Stepford County Railway, like most other ROBLOX games, is met with a number of criticism, including:
Before 1.0, admins ran the servers. Many players criticized them as they were very strict. They would kick you for petty reasons such as skipping a station, not setting your destination properly, and more. At one point in a very early version, they had forbidden users to drive a train to Port Benton even that station was opened.
A lot of users criticized SCR for stealing models. Many trains were taken from yrrebRBLX and sold as game passes in SCR. However, yrrebRBLX later officially joined the SCR development, meaning that he may have given SCR permission to use the models.
Some have accused TramLink of being vaporware. As of V1.7, since most TramLink stations have been demolished, plus part of its tracks are covered with weeds, this might represent that TramLink is officially cancelled.
SCR is often criticized for never listening to its players about changes that they make to the game, or players' suggestions towards the game's development.
In the past, SCR was often criticized for its very bad quality scenery and decal spam. This is becoming less and less prevalent due to rebrands, renovations, and rebuilds of existing trains started to improve lot of the bad scenery and decal spam on trains.
SCR is often criticized for being a very laggy game because the script of the game is not written to handle devices that don't have high amounts of RAM.
Before Version 1.4 was released, SCR came under fire for letting the entire Llyn Extension being leaked. Eventually, the SCR Beta Tester programme was terminated to stop the leaks.
With many updates, SCR has been criticized for an update cycle, where a feature is sneak-peaked, the community then blamed for rumors and a feature being delayed. This is part of a photo that is posted by people on general social medias.
For its moderation system, SCR is often criticized for banning/kicking/warning players without good reason. Although heavily disputed, multiple members were speculated to have had their promotions revoked as they were accused of leaking information to outside sources and subsequently banned or demoted without evidence. SCR denies this.
Some trains (if laggy) either fling players next to them all over the station or even out of the station and far away, or glitches players that are standing on the platform into the train, which is annoying for players, especially dispatchers.
The 1.7.1 update is criticised for being rushed and broken, such as doors opening on the wrong side, the inability to change ends at terminuses and the on board train information screen for being bugged.
SCR is also criticised for stealing sounds from Armstrong Powerhouse, which can be heard on the looping Class 465 sounds.

Van Buskirk, J and Roxburgh, A and Bruno, RB and Burns, L, Drugs and the Internet, Sydney: National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, Australia (2014) [Contract Report]
To date the availability of illicit drugs in Australia has largely been examined through household surveys and interviews with people who use drugs; indicators such as drug seizures and arrests; and analyses of hospital admissions and drug-related deaths. However, over the past decade the Internet has developed as an additional source of information for discussion about and purchase of drugs (Walsh, 2011). In particular, the advent of the Silk Road in 2011 as an online marketplace, broadened out the availability of new psychoactive substances (NPS) and other more conventional illicit substances (such as cannabis and MDMA). After the closure of the Silk Road in October 2013, multiple new marketplaces emerged to take its place (Van Buskirk, Roxburgh, Farrell, & Burns, 2014a). Most recently the closure of Silk Road 2.0 and a large international law enforcement operation in November 2014 (dubbed Operation Onymous) have seen major changes in remaining dark web marketplaces.
This bulletin is the fourth in a series by the Drug Trends Unit that provides analysis of trends over time in the availability and type of substances sold via the internet to Australia. The current bulletin reports for the time period July 2014 to December 2014.

Der findes et stjernebillede ved navn Søslangen.
 For virkelige slanger der lever i havet, se havslange.

En søslange (lindorm, hesteål eller ålehest) er stort slange- eller dragelignende fabeldyr, der ifølge folketroen lever i en sø eller et hav; især om den meget omtalte Nessie i Loch Ness-søen i Skotland. Et andet kendt eksempel er Midgårdsormen i norrøn mytologi. Søslanger beskrives i Norge i Hamarkrøniken og af Olaus Magnus og Peder Claussøn Friis i 1500-tallet, og af biskop i Bergen Erik Pontoppidan den yngre og Hans Egede i 1700-tallet. I norske sagn optræder søslangen nogle gange sammen med et andet søuhyre, der kaldes havhesten.

Søslangen har form som en kæmpeslange med eller uden ben og lever i søer, voldgrave eller i havet. Beskrivelser af søslanger dukker af og til op i medierne som en nyhedshistorie. Som heraldisk figur har en lindorm dog større lighed med en drage; dog har lindormen altid kun to ben, hvorimod en heraldisk drage kan have enten to eller fire ben.

Søslangen i Snåsa

Historikeren Gerhard Schøning beskrev tre søslanger i Snåsavatnet i sin rejsebeskrivelse fra 1770'erne. Sognepræst Svend Busch Brun beskrev en søslange i Om Sneaasen fra 1817. I 1991 blev søslangen midlertidig værnet af fylkesmanden i Nord-Trøndelag. I 2007 blev den efter en navnekonkurrence tildelt navnet Kudulla efter Snåsavandets gamle navn, Kudulen. Søslangen blev observeret tæt på af Einar Sandnes i 2005. Han nåede også at fotografere, hvad han mente, måtte være skabningen.

Søslangen i Seljord
I Seljordsvannet i Norge observerede man i 1750 noget, der tolkes som en søslange, og som fra 1989 er afbildet på Seljords kommunevåben. I oktober 2011 åbnede Seljord et udsigtstårn ved vandet. Det var herfra, det i juli 2012 lykkedes for den syttenårige Lisbeth Vefall at optage en video af fænomenet, der på folkemunde har fået navnet Selma.

Søslangen i Hamar

Hamarkrøniken er en kort skildring af ukendt forfatter fra omkring 1550 af Hamar bispesæde og købstad i katolsk tid; første gang udgivet i 1774. Her berettes også om den nat, da alle klokkerne og orgelværket i Hamar domkirke angiveligt gik af sig selv omkring midnat. Biskoppen så ud, og opdagede, at domkirken og koret var oplyst som ved højlys dag. Også klokkerne i klosteret og Korskirken kimede af sig selv, og det spøgte i selve bispegården, som om to krigshære sloges, så vægterne og folkene var skrækslagne. En kolossal søslange lod sig se midt på dagen ude i Mjøsa, og syntes at strække sig fra Helgøya ind til kongens land. Så viste en stor tyr sig, han strakte sig fra Gillundstøen i Stange sogn og ind på øen; han syntes at gå på vandet, lige hurtigt som en pil fra en stålbue. Dag efter dag sås nu mange søslanger i Mjøsa. Til sidst kom den største af dem alle, frygtelig at skue i sine mange farver. Ligesom en hest havde han en sort manke, der hang ned på halsen. Han lå længe på skæret, så en af biskoppens mænd sneg sig ind på ham og skød pile i øjnene på ham, så der flød grønt ud af uhyrets øje og hoved. Vandet omkring ham blev grønt af det, og en stor del drev ind til Hamar. Men den følgende nat kom kraftig regn og storm, så han drev ind på øen. Han lugtede hæsligt, og biskoppen bød, at hver gård på egnen skulle sende en voksen mand til at få søslangen brændt. Hver huggede og slæbte og bar, som bedst han kunne, og smed brænde på "ormen" og brændte ham op, så meget det var muligt. Benraden efter uhyret lå i mange år på stranden, indtil nogle tyskere tog de bedste af hans knogler med. Selv den mindste af søslangens rygknogler kunne knapt bæres af en stærk mand. Mange hundrede ladninger brænde var gået med, før stanken forsvandt.

Søslanger i Romsdalsfjorden
I Norge er Romsdalsfjorden det sted, hvor de fleste påståede observationer af søslanger har fundet sted. Den første, vi kender til, skriver sig fra den danske biskop i Bergen, Erik Pontoppidan den yngre, som i 1752 fortalte, at han havde været i kontakt med en kaptajn, der i 1746 havde set en søslange. Kaptajnen blev nu opfordret til at bevidne oplevelsen i Bergen byting. Der fortalte han, at undervejs fra Trondheim til Molde havde hans mandskab set en søslange ved Julnæsset. De vendte skuden for at følge efter uhyret, men "ormen" var hurtigere i vendingen. Kaptajnen ladede sin bøsse og skød; men selv om vandet blev rødt, hvor søslangen dukkede, var han ikke mere at se. Kaptajnen beskrev hovedet som på en hest, med en lang, hvid manke. Uhyrets længde var usikker; men man så angiveligt 7-8 bugtninger over vandfladen, når han svømmede. I Romsdal havde folk forskellige opfattelse af søslanger. I Måndalen fortæller sagnet, at nogle hugorme forvandles til søslanger, når de har bidt sju kreste å sju heie (= "syv kristne og syv hedninge", altså "syv mennesker og syv køer"). En anden tro gik ud på, at hugorme gradvis vokser sig så store, at de ikke kan leve på land, men søger ud i vandet. Ifølge en historie fra indsøen Fosterlågen havde nogle mænd fra Kristiansund forsøgt at fange en søslange der ved at fæste en stor jernkrog til en tømmerstok med en jernlænke. Som agn benyttede de en halv skinke; men den gik søslangen ikke på. I Romsdalsfjorden var søslangen imidlertid så almindelig forekommende, at en tysk naturforsker i 1861 skrev, at der i Molde mellem ti personer altid var én, som kunne sværge på, at han havde set "ormen". Sommeren 1845 hørte provst Deinboll i Molde fra tre pålidelige mænd i byen, at de havde ligget på fjorden lige udenfor Molde for at fiske, da pludselig en 15 m lang søslange kom glidende forbi båden. Den ene greb bøssen og skød, og "ormen" rejste sit hoved, hvæsede og skød så fart lige mod båden. Mændene nåede lige at redde sig i land. Provsten fik historien ind i Romsdal Budstikke, og mente, der burde udloves en præmie til den, der kunne fange søslangen. Som egnet jagtredskab foreslo han en harpun dyppet i blåsyre. Unionskongen Oscar 2. ville gerne have fat i en søslange, og fik udrustet et fartøj med et par romsdølinge som "ormeskyttere". I flere måneder sejlede de forgæves op og ned langs kysten.

Petter Dass' digt om søslangen
Præsten Petter Dass skrev:
Om Søe-Ormen veed jeg ey nogen Beskeedjeg haver ham aldrig med Øynene seed.
Begierer ey heller den Ære;dog kiender jeg mange, som mig have sagt,
hvis ord jeg òg giver sandfærdig Magt,han maa ret forfærdelig være.

Happy Village Officially Sells For $1.5 Million — But Dive Bar's Renovation On Hold 'For One Last Summer'
"We're going to run it as-is for the next six months," said Andrew Miller, one of the bar's new owners. "We're cognizant of the connection people have with this place."

Happy Village is located at 1059 N. Wolcott Ave.

EAST VILLAGE — After several months of back-and-forth between longtime owner Cherlyn Pilch, Chicago-based Out to Lunch Hospitality and residents of the East Village neighborhood, Happy Village has officially changed hands and will re-open Saturday under new ownership.
Out to Lunch bought the building from Pilch on April 3 for $1.5 million, company partner Andrew Miller said.
An additional $1.5 million, he said, is budgeted for renovations that will bring the 1870s-era building "up to city code" and transform the bar into a restaurant.
Miller closed Happy Village this week for a few minor pieces of upkeep; he's added ice wells behind the bar, for example. Standing inside the bar this week, Miller said he's aware of the deep love people have for Happy Village as a dive bar — its $2 Hamm's, its dark wooden paneling, its no-frills ping pong room.
That's why he's holding off on major renovations until after the 2019 summer season.
"We're going to run it as-is for the next six months. … Give people one last summer to come by, hang out and say goodbye," Miller said. "We're cognizant of the connection people have with this place."
Returning Happy Village to its roots
Known for its serene back patio and indoor rec room, Happy Village at 1059 N. Wolcott Ave. was founded by Pilch's parents in 1964 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014.
That was nearly 100 years after the building was first constructed in the 1870s as a "tied house" — a saloon that only carried one specific brewery's beer — for Chicago-based Peter Hand Brewery.
Nestled in within the heart of the quiet, tree-lined East Village neighborhood, the bar began as an all-purpose establishment, Miller said: Polish sausage for lunch, dinner parties in the banquet hall and 7 a.m. whiskey shots for factory workers coming off the graveyard shift.
Happy Village was an important meeting place for the neighborhood during an era when the East Village and Ukrainian Village were populated by Eastern European immigrant families, Miller said.

The serene and heavily landscaped back patio at Happy Village features a koi pond.
Through the years, the neighborhood changed — and so did Happy Village. At one point, the Pilch family stopped serving restaurant-style food and instead introduced a walk-up hot dog stand. Eventually they stopped food service altogether.
For the past 15 years or so, Miller said, Happy Village has existed as it is today — a low-key, cash-only watering hole with cheap beer and plastic patio chairs, a quintessential "dive" bar. The banquet hall was converted into the ping-pong room.
Under his leadership, the bar will maintain its current spirit, Miller said.
"It was built as a tavern," Miller said. "For us to have the opportunity to buy an old tavern and turn it back into a tavern is incredible."
Yes, Out to Lunch will expand the beverage menu to include $5 Aperol spritzes on Saturdays and Sundays, bottles of wine and classic cocktails. But the bartenders — three of whom are returning staff, Miller said — will continue to sell cheap beer and shots.

Miller described Happy Village's bartenders as "living encyclopedias": people who know the neighbors and the neighborhood better than anyone else.
And after the new owners of nearby dive Gold Star Bar fired their employees via text message, Miller told Eater Chicago, "I didn't want that to be written about me."
"You don't mess with that," he told Block Club. "They know the place. They know the neighborhood."

Passion for Happy Village was evident on Monday, as supporters came out to hear the plans for the mainstay bar's future.
The Out to Lunch staff, Miller added, "goes to dive bars," and they are aware of what's at stake here. As the summer goes on, he plans to collect photographs from the Pilch family and anyone else who visited Happy Village through the years and frame the photos for the walls.
Because the building is so historic, Out to Lunch's proposed renovations will be overseen by the city's Landmarks Commission.
"I love dive bars," he said. "The difference is when you're trying to buy a building, and the building costs $1.5 million. … You can't buy this building for $1.5 million and sell $2 Hamm's and $2 shots."
A long road to change
It was three years ago, Miller said, when he first began talking with Pilch about buying the bar.
Miller said Pilch liked his vision of returning the space to its family original concept: a kid-friendly restaurant that could serve all the needs of the neighborhood.
His ideas included restoring a kitchen and reducing the size of the back patio by adding a plant-filled glass solarium — all in the aim, Miller said, of attracting more of the neighborhood to the restaurant, the couples "pushing babies in strollers" and "walking their dogs."
"We're trying to do it the right way," Miller said. "We're trying to see it from her eyes."
But actually buying the bar from Pilch proved to be a long, arduous task.
For starters, before a sale could be initiated, Pilch needed Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) to lift a liquor moratorium that had gone into effect after her bar was founded.
Related: Happy Village Sale And Renovation Gets Support Of Neighbors After Retiring Owner Makes Her Pitch
To do that, she needed the support of her neighbors — many of whom defiantly said during a heated August 2018 meeting that they liked Happy Village the way it was.
A longtime regular shouted out that an all seasons, glass-enclosed solarium structure planned for half of the back of the patio would be "stupid."
With her attorney Dimitrios G. Christopoulos standing behind her, an earnest Happy Village owner Cherlyn Pilch urges the crowd to have an open mind about her plan to sell the bar.
Last October, Pilch addressed a packed room of impassioned residents and bar regulars at The Mitz, 1019 N. Wolcott Ave., and delivered her plea for support:
"I am the one that kept that bar stable for 55 years this Nov. 15. I am asking for your support with these fine gentlemen and ladies, to achieve another step, a greater step, a more sophisticated step for Happy Village and the corner," Pilch said. "With all due respect, please give this new company and my lawyer the respect, and hear them out and please come with an open mind."
Neighbors ended up voting to support Pilch.
A 15-point plan of operation — a legally-binding document often used by neighbors to protect themselves from the actions of a new business — was presented to the East Village Association.
On April 3, Pilch finally sold her bar and two adjacent buildings at 1057-1059 N. Wolcott Ave. to Out To Lunch Hospitality.
'Keeping the spirit of the place alive'
In addition to offering a tavern and restaurant, Out to Lunch plans to rehabilitate the 1057 N. Wolcott Ave. building (currently Happy Village's recreation/ping pong room) and sell the lot.
Outside, the patio's koi pond will remain, but the plastic patio furniture will be replaced and the lighting will get an upgrade.
Miller removed the giant "wedding"-sized canopy and plans to put smaller umbrellas at each table, so people can decide whether or not they want shade. (Patrons can still order pizza from other restaurants to their patio tables.)

A sketch of plans for Happy Village and neighboring building.
Behind the bar, Out to Lunch's beverage director, Miranda Breedlove, will introduce house-made juices and syrups, wine and classic cocktails. Customers will also have glasses to sip from, as opposed to plastic cups, Miller said.
The East Village Association will also continue to host monthly meetings at the bar, Miller said.
As for the major renovations set to begin after the summer season?
Inside, Miller plans to knock down two different drop ceilings to reveal what he believes could be the building's original 14-foot white embossed ceilings.
The upstairs will offer additional seating with an original bricked-in fire place. As patrons walk up the stairs, they'll be able to see framed photographs of the building through the centuries.
Miller also plans to strip back the dark wood paneling. Behind the wall across from the bar, he said, is an original arched window. Removing the paneling currently covering the area around the front door will reveal 130-year-old wrought iron castings, he added.
"A lot of these decisions are keeping the spirit of the place alive," Miller said.
Until then, Happy Village fans have a few months to get in one more round of ping pong.

Looking to secure O365? PowerShell can be your friend.
While Microsoft Office 365 ("O365") has become enormously popular as an application for businesses of all sizes, it has also created significant opportunities for cyber criminals to mount what are now known as Business Email Compromise attacks. These typically begin with fraudulent emails that are cleverly designed to gain access to email systems and thereby enable the thieves to gain an understanding of the flow of money within an enterprise – and then tap into it.
BEC attacks are costing businesses billions of dollars annually and are showing no signs of abating. With cyber thieves showing enormous agility in adapting to security measures, it is up to administrators to take measures to ensure that their O365 environments are secure. Fortunately, Microsoft includes a number of features that can be useful in strengthening defenses against attacks, including built-in logging and reporting functionality to help monitor the security of user accounts.
Yet most of the necessary work in bolstering O365 security involves a blurred mix of terminology and overlapping features that often don't make themselves readily apparent. This is where, in our experience, administrators can get enormous value from using Windows PowerShell, a scripting language that can automate and simplify any tedious task for administrators.
The Crypsis white paper available at the link below explores some of the ways PowerShell can be used to help secure O365, with a focus on Exchange. It discusses logging capabilities, multi-factor authentication, mailbox client access settings and policies, and access rules. While a subset of these features can be applied through the administrative portal, PowerShell can make the administration and validation of them exponentially more accessible, especially for multi-domain tenants or large environments. In fact, several of the controls and features in O365 actually require the use of PowerShell.
Give it a look and let us know if you have questions.

How Primal are you: I was thinking in terms of "paleo," actually. But, I found this website and I really like it. It seems to have a cerebral approach, lots of solid information, and to be free of "bro-science". Whatever, you want to call it, though, I just started less than a week ago--unsurprisingly, I'm very enthusiastic about it after feeling the change in my body after the second day alone. Anyway-- let's say 90% because my sole "cheat" is that I'm still going to sneak a few alcoholic drinks here and there. Not quite ready to give that up yet.
Do you consume dairy: at the moment, none except grass-fed butter (and only for cooking, not slathering on things). After I've been at it for at least a month, I may try reintroducing high quality dairy such as organic full fat Greek yogurt or kefir, "just to see if it makes me feel any different."
Do you drink coffee or tea: almost any kind of tea imaginable, unsweetened. Coffee gives me the jitters, but I occasionally treat myself to a very small half-cup type portion, black or for a real treat, a touch of raw honey stirred in.
Motivator for switching to Primal: it was to get rid of the "dad-bod" that has come to plague my physique in recent years, but now that I'm seeing how awesome my body feels, I'm looking forward to seeing where that goes! Also, just in general, the crushing steel grip of control that the craving to overindulge in food has held over me for so long. Simply put, I got sick of it and decided to finally take real action.
Favorite exercise: whichever one I just finished just now :-) For serious, I want to emphasize low-rep, to-fail strength training. I admittedly have some work to do in getting serious about this, but I know that my improved physical health resulting from the paleo/primal way of eating will be an extremely helpful factor along the way.
Favorite Primal food: really, I can choose anything I want?? Give me some wild-caught scallops the size of ping pong balls, sauteed in grassfed butter, olive oil, and garlic!!
Best part about being Primal: I still keep saying "paleo"--oh well, the name isn't what's really important. My favorite part is the newfound mental freedom and sense of simplicity. I never realized just how much mental energy I was wasting and how much I was stressing myself out with all the myriad internal negotiations-- the little "but surely I can have just one [whatever crap food] if..." calculations. It's a load off my mind that I hadn't even realized was on it. I don't eat [x] because it's not part of the plan--that's it, done, onto the next thing!
How Primal are you: not sure yet. just starting out 2 weeks in.
Do you drink coffee or tea: fresh colombian and americano.
Motivator for switching to Primal: Type 2 diabetic. and committed to getting off insulin.
Favorite exercise: running round the kitchen cooking.
Worst part about being Primal: Nothing. i love it.

It has been a very bad 3 years that I have been away. Breast cancer, many surgeries and congestive heart failure (chemo the gift that keeps on giving ) have taken their toll but I am ready to get back into Primal/Keto as I always feel my best eating ancestral.
Look forward to getting to know the Mark's Daily Apple family again.
I would think that the leaves are more a whole food than the liquid.
Coming back here after a number of years.
I had a heart attack in December 2016 and its been a long slog toward recovery. The good news is that I have finally detoxed from the beta blockers and blood thinners - which means I am also waking up to extent of my crap health situation.
Currently have zero fitness and am about 50 lbs (23 kgs) overweight.
So I am here to make some foundational changes and happy about the potential.
How Primal are you: very, kind of. Im more low carb high fat, with influence from Primal, Bulletproof and keto.
Motivator for switching to Primal: Im really getting into keto now and I really admire and enjoy learning from Mark.

On the day of, his staff made me feel at ease and the procedure itself was virtually painless. Afterwards I was able to drive myself directly to my sons little league baseball game and carried on as usual. My bruising lasted exactly two weeks, just as I was told. Overall I am happy with my experience . Dr. Song and his staff are top notch. Did I mention I am completely happy with the results after only 4 weeks? I would definitely recommend their services.
It seems the older I get, the more cellulite that I have. I was embarrassed about this and didn't want to wear shorts, let alone a bathing suit. I had searched for treatments to help repair this and that led me to Dr. Song. I am beyond satisfied with the Cellfina treatment and the way the procedure was handled. Dr. Song is very personable and never makes you feel rushed. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a more confident outlook about their bodies.
I can't say enough great things about Dr. Mark Song and his staff! Not only were they incredibly attentive and thoughtful but genuinely respectful and passionate about their work. I recently had the new Cellfina treatment to remove cellulite and couldn't be happier. Like so many woman, I've been so self-conscience about my back-side for most of my life and felt that there was basically nothing I could do about it. I'm so excited about the results so far (and I'm told I should expect it only to get better!!). The procedure and recovery were relatively easy, some moments of discomfort as a local anesthesia is administered over multiple places and then some soreness for a few days afterwards, but so worth it! Thanks again to Dr. Song and his amazing staff for making it such a great experience.
I recently had the new Cellfina treatment through Dr. Song- First off the procedure was quick, relatively painless and so far the results have been amazing. Secondly Dr. Song and his awesome staff were amazing from consultation to post op. They were incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, thorough and made me feel very comfortable with not only the procedure but expectations pre and post op. I would highly recommend the Cellfina treatment and proud to offer my review and recommendation to Dr. Song and his staff.
Cellfina…honestly sounded too good to be true. A quick and long lasting treatment to get rid of those not so cute dimples? Yes, please! No major discomfort. To be honest, the most painful part of the whole things was probably having to look at a blown up picture of my "before" bare bottom. Ha! The biggest surprise was that immediately after the procedure, my deepest dimples were gone. From all the information I read before having the procedure done, it just gets better over time. Dr. Song made sure to check on me several times and even gave me his cell phone number in case of any emergency. NO doctors do that anymore! This is a 5-star review because Dr. Song, his staff and the procedures they perform are VERY deserving. I cannot recommend him enough.

Challenging Falklands/Malvinas' Veterans In The Present: An Interview with Lola Arias
By Debora Baldelli | 10 April, 2018
Lola Arias is an artist in the broadest sense possible. She is a writer, a theatre director, a film director, a musician and a performer. She experiences different artistic processes, and sometimes all together. This is the case with Minefield, a play to be presented at ¡Viva! Festival this April. Minefield is part of a project that began as an art installation in 2013, became a play in 2016 and since then a film and a book in 2017.
She says: "It is strange how it forms and it is always growing, that is also something that I am interested in my artistic practice. You are doing something with a community, with a group of people, and you are finding different artistic (expressions) with the same people. In a way, you are developing something bigger than just one work of art, more like a whole experience for the group." Minefield, which had its opening at the Royal Court Theatre, in London, has already been to 30 cities in Europe, Latin America and is also going to Japan.
It is a project that reunites Argentine and British veterans from the Falklands/Malvinas war to explore what remains of the war in their heads 34 years later. Minefield looks into the marks left by war, the relationship between experience and fiction and ways of representing memory.
We spoke about Minefield's creative process, initially about how she selected the participants, whom she refuses to call "non-actors" as the press usually mentions. She remarks: "it's strange when people say non-actors or non-professional actors because in fact for me they are professionals because they have been performing for two years non-stop all over the world, but of course the special thing is that they are performing something that is not a role, they are performing nevertheless, but they don't perform a role, they don't play a character, but their own stories."
So, how did you select the performers for Minefield?
The process of finding the performers for this show was quite special because I was not only looking for people who had a story, but people who could perform in a play, or could play music, which is also very important in this project. [I was looking for people] who could be part of a whole community that was going to create an art project together, because it is not only about making a play, but being part of a social experiment that is to put together former enemies coming from two countries and invite them to share their experience for a long time, to make an art piece.
So, I was doing auditions in Buenos Aires and London. I interviewed around 70 veterans. I did workshops in London and Buenos Aires with smaller groups of veterans and them I chose the six that were going to meet in Buenos Aires.
How was the process of asking these veterans to get in touch with all these memories to create a narrative?
It was a way to find new perspectives on what happened to them, and also to confront themselves with their former memories and it was also a way to rediscover their own stories, to hear the missing parts, to be able to be emphatic towards the suffering of the other. I think it was a very life-changing experience for some of them.
Was there anything surprising in the creative process, something that you didn't expect at all?
Even though I was very curious about what happened on the British side I think I had a prejudice that the Argentinian soldiers were mainly not professional soldiers, just people who finished high school and they were obliged to do the military service and then they were sent to war. 70% of the people who went to war were just 18 years old kid who had nine months of training. So, I thought, these are the people who suffered the most. But when I met the British soldiers, I was surprised to see that even though they were professional soldiers, they suffered a lot. In a way, nobody is really prepared for the experience of war. Somehow this was also for me a discovery of the piece.
Here is an excerpt from Minefield:
How was it to show the play in Argentina and in England in terms of reception and reaction from the public?
The opening was at the Royal Court Theatre, in London, a theatre known for new playwriting but they never had what they call non-professional actors on stage. And they almost never had subtitles, so they are used to perform only plays translated into English and this is a bilingual piece, but it went amazingly well. I think for the British audience it was a discovery to hear the stories of the British and the Argentinian veterans and people were very emotional about the piece.
When we showed it in Buenos Aires some people were a bit reluctant, because of course, it is an open wound for the Argentinian society. Some people were asking themselves why am I coming here to the theatre to clap the British soldiers who killed other soldiers. So, it was much more of a challenge. Some people even came to the show with signs saying, "The Malvinas are Argentinian", which is very interesting to see how people use the theatre also as space as to demonstrate their thoughts and ideas. It was a very emotional moment and a very cathartic moment also for the Argentinian society to have this chance to talk to them, to hear the stories of the other side.
About Theatre of War, your first film also working with the veterans. Did you start the film together with the play?
The idea was from the very beginning a parallel project. So, I started the film together with the theatre project. I was filming the auditions to find the protagonists because I wanted to do a film. So, I was doing the two things at the same time and it was very complicated because it wasn't a backstage film or a film that shows how do you do a theatre play. In fact, when you see the film you don't know that it had been a play with the same protagonists, there are no references to the play. There is no moment where you see them like on stage rehearsing. But of course, there are several scenes, situations that are in both, in the film and in the play. I think the film shows more a process of how to reconstruct a memory and it starts with the audition to find the protagonists, then it goes to their first encounters. So, there is a whole process of trying different ways on how to reconstruct the memories of the war. It is more like an essay on how to transform the experience. And I think the play, because it has this present time, it is not so much like a play… it is always saying like "I am here" and this is present and we are here and this is the encounter. So, I think the play works in a different way because it shows that this community is alive now and you can see them performing together and you see it happening right here and right now.
[You can see an excerpt from Theatre of War here]
What is your next project?
I am working now on a project opening in June 2018 with Syrian and Germans performers in a Theatre in Munich. We are working on the reconstruction of a case of a man who got no asylum in Germany, in the process that he is going through right now. We are not reconstructing something from the past. We are reconstructing a person who is struggling right now with bureaucracy in Germany because he is not being recognized as a refugee. The project is about truth and credibility at the present time, in a time where everybody is turning their backs on the people in need and how people judge others, the story of others. Are we able to hear the stories of the other? How do we decide what is true or a lie? And somehow, he will share the material of his case and we will perform it with professional actors, but he will be also on stage. We are starting rehearsing in April. It is called "What they want to hear".
Minefield will be performed at ¡Viva! 2018 in Manchester from Thursday 12th until Saturday 14th April. More details and tickets at homemcr.org/production/minefield
