Stevo Pendarovski my Pen – Pal from University American College from Skopje has been skeptical about "the movie industry's potentials to portray realistically event in the war-torn countries, simply because no movie has ever come close to life". He explains that "numerous articles have been written on the contradiction between the organizational cultures of military and journalism, sharpening in the times of crises".
But, the look upon the third element, very potent on the battlefield – mentality of terrorists is often absent from the analytical triangle. "My basic point of departure is that regardless of the known differences between the soldiers and journalists, their symbiosis is necessary for confronting the common opponent", said Pendarovski. According to him, "embedded journalism is a must for uncovering the truth in the war zones and for up-close and personal human stories, as well".
Although, "for investigative journalist to be "embedded" in the hostile terrorist environment it certainly asks for securing back-up from military intelligence whose core is fundamentally different, but not hostile to journalists".
Pendarovski believes "it is very difficult to imagine successful penetration of journalists up to the inner terrorist circles without overt/covert support by the intelligence agencies. In my view, the operational key is providing alignment by the so-called friendly services because they have the ownership over the processes on the local level". Unfortunately, "loyalty to their ethic kin is often stronger then achieving strategic goals for their country or reaching out to liberty and democracy", comments Pendarovski on the topic of the movie A Mighty Heart.
Despite the promises of the USA President Barack Obama to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center on Cuba on March this year, he signed new executive order to continue with the military trials at the Navy base. Number of detainees currently held in Guantanamo is 172, according the 28 February, 2011 fact sheet Guantanamo by numbers of the nonprofit organization Human Right First that works on implementation and promotion on universal human rights and freedoms.
Khalid Sheikh Mohhamed is a Kuwaiti in the USA custody in Guantanamo for alleged acts of terrorism, mass murder of civilians and he is among 172 prisoners of Guantanamo Bay Detention Center. After his imprisonment at Guantanamo, Khalid Sheikh Mohhamed confessed that he organized and beheaded the Wall Street Journal, reporter Daniel Pearl in January 2002, Miami Herald published on their on line page Associated Press article Report faults Pakistan's Pearl murder investigation by Ashraf Khan and Nahal Toosi.
They wrote that "he is held at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. military prison, and the confession is believed to have come during interrogation that included waterboarding". AP article posted on January 20, 2011 in Miami Herald online page brought the findings and results of the Pearl Project that "four men imprisoned for killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl were not present during his beheading but were convicted of murder because Pakistani authorities knowingly relied on perjured testimony and ignored other leads".
The investigative effort called Pearl Project is joint result of the commitment of his former colleague Asra Q. Nomani, students and professors from George Town University and Washington D.C. and the Center for Pubic Integrity. The genuine idea to combine professional and academic work on serous journalism investigation of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Karachi in 2002 was modeled by the three decade ago old investigative reporting project into the murder of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles.
Nomani and Barbara Feiman Todd, the director of journalism at Georgetown University visited Phoenix in 2007 to attend annual conference of Investigative Reporters and Editors, the world's largest association of investigative journalist and to copy from the Arizona project for Don Bolles. She recalls on the Web page of the project the conference was convenient because of the presence of Randall Bennet, formerly the regional security officer for the State Department at the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, was going to be stateside in Phoenix.
"Randall and I had gotten to know each other during the horrible weeks after Danny had been kipped. Randall was a compelling figure, straight out of central casting, the kind of guy who comes to mind when you hear words like "swagger," and in fact, he had been portrayed in Hollywood's version of Danny's story. I wanted Barbara to meet him", recalls Nomani.
In spite of the Hollywood emotional movie portraits of the last days of Daniel Pearl in Pakistan before he was kidnapped – the investigative journalism in the Pearl Project discovers other elements important to what happened In Karachi with the former WSJ journalist and reporter.
The Pearl Project findings disclosure problems of criminal justice system in Pakistan and question, sometimes, the high level of trust that the USA officials have in Pakistan authorities. "From one isolated murder case", Pearl's friend and colleague, Nomani, admits the project grow up "to a study of various important issues".
The truth left behind, inside the kidnaping and murder of Daniel Pearl Web page prepared by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalism brings key findings and continues the work on Pearl's investigation in Pakistan before his kidnaping. Nomani gives the importance of the Pearl's Project to "uncover and untangle militancy, Islamic extremism, and terrorism in Pakistan, with foreign policy implications much larger than we imagined when we first began".
There is an important story in the case of Daniel Pearl investigative work in Pakistan. "Years later, Danny's case offers important lessons to the Obama administration as it grapples with its policy toward Pakistan as a safe haven for Taliban, Al Qaeda, and militant fighters that U.S. forces face in the war in Afghanistan. Danny's case was a harbinger of the issues U.S. national security officials are grappling to understand today", emphasized Nomani.
Wall Street Journal online page dedicated to their former reporter and journalist kidnaped allegedly by the Al-Qaeda members in Pakistan gives the facts on the case. Daniel Pearl " disappeared in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Jan. 23 after embarking for what he believed was an interview with a prominent figure in the country's Islamic movement".
After four days, a new group "The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistan Sovereignty" introduced the requirements "for release of Pakistani nationals being held by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the wake of the military campaign in Afghanistan, as well as Pakistan being detained in the U.S. as terrorism suspects". The group that was not known of the USA authorities asked "for the U.S. to turn over F-16 fighter jets purchased by Pakistan in the late 1980s but never delivered because of U.S. sanctions related to Islamabad's nuclear-weapons program".
The death of relevant journalist from the influential newspaper, his Jewish origin, politics, terrorism, Guantanamo, Taliban's, dysfunctional judicial system in Pakistan – enough intrigues for Hollywood. A Mighty Heart movie from 2007, directed by the English director Michael Winterbottom with Angelina Jolie, Dan Futterman and Irfan Kan in a manner of speaking tell us on franatic search of Mariane Pearl, to locate his husband Daniel Pearl. Winterbottom drives the movie with the emotions and portraits the Wall Street reporter through the eyes of his wife and her book on Pearl dedicated to their children.
However, one of the closest associates to Pearl, Nomani wrote an article in the Washington Post on June 24, 2007 titled A Mighty Shame. "For me, watching the movie was like having people enter my home, rearrange the furniture and reprogram my memory. I'd known it was a gamble when I agreed to help with a Hollywood version of Danny's kidnapping, but I'd done it because I thought the movie had the potential to be meaningful", admits Nomani in the Washington Post article.
This article was the reason Nomani to receive a call in late June 2007 from Marian Crompley from the Oklahoma City based Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation with the offer to support financially the Pearl Project.
Couple of years latter, the findings of this investigative journalism project reveals "serious issues that have relevance today to U.S. policy and America's war in Afghanistan: the emergence of a "Punjabi Taliban, made up of militants from the Pakistani province of Punjab; the role of Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, as a safe haven for militants; and the nexus between the Pakistani militancy and Al Qaeda".
Bloody Sunday occurred on January 30th, 1972 in Derry, Northern Ireland, whereas a Northern Ireland civil rights association held a march ending in twenty-six unarmed civilians being shot by British soldiers. Many people were killed in this event including thirteen males seven of which were teenagers. This event revealed the civil unrest the United Kingdom was facing and educated many people about the conflict between the British and the people of Northern Ireland. In 2002, a film by the title Bloody Sunday, directed by Paul Greengrass, produced by Granada Television (IMDb) about the 1972 shooting in Derry was released. The focus of this essay is to analyze the position of the film, how the genre of "mockumentary" achieves a feeling of utter reality, and press coverage of the Northern Ireland conflict.
The film, Bloody Sunday is a great depiction of the tragedy that unfolded on January 30th, 1972, but is the film really fair? Does it convey the truth as the events unfolded on both sides of the conflict? According to a review of the film by The New York Times, Elvis Mitchell who critiques the film states, "it would be a mistake to say it has the even-handedness of a down-the-middle docudrama, because "Sunday" is clearly on the side of the 15,000 Irish-Catholic demonstrators who turned out to make a nonviolent point about their grievances at what they saw as discrimination by the Protestant majority in the Ulster Government." Mitchell makes the claim that the film sides with that of the Irish-Catholics. It is clear to see in the film that the director creates a sense of empathy for the audience towards the Catholic protesters and creates a villainous image towards the British soldiers.
The film also focuses on the main character Ivan Cooper, who is a Member of Parliament as he tries to maintain a peaceful march. His good intentions were illustrated within the film and allows for viewers to emotionally connect with him creating a slight bias by the director. Nevertheless, there are instances in the film where many mischievous teenagers engage in violent attacks against the British soldiers such as throwing rocks, which gives the audience a slight sense of compassion for the British soldiers that in a way may justify the shots fired from them. The film Bloody Sunday, is fair in the way the event unfolded and how it portrayed both sides of the conflict.
Bloody Sunday is a drama that gives a picture of exactly what occurred that day. Nonetheless, some may classify it as a mockumentary. A mockumentary is a type of film in which fictitious events are presented in a documentary format. Furthermore, Webster defines mockumentary as a facetious or satirical work (as a film) presented in the style of a documentary. An example of a mockumentary is the Blair Witch Project. When audiences first seen the film many of them thought the film was actual footage captured on video. It was said that the three individuals in the film were never seen after they captured video of these horrific events; however, their footage was located a year later. Mockumentaries achieve a sense of utter reality by producing films that seem to be real in the eyes of the audience, and the Blair Witch Project is a great example of that. Many believed it to be real until it was later announced it was fictitious. This was done by filming in real time that in turn eluded it to be perceived as reality. In the case of Bloody Sunday, due to the events really occurring in 1972 in Derry, the film is more in the documentary genre rather than the mockumentary genre of film.
The Northern Ireland conflicts have been going on for many years and have sparked a lot of attention. How does the press cover the conflict? Is it fair or is one side supported more so than the other. This is a debate that is hard to solve. The television stations of Britain and the Irish Republic are widely, if not patchily, available across Northern Ireland and many argue there are biases by the media from both the Nationalist and the Unionists sides (Herbert 5). The media has been blamed for instigating and creating tension between the Catholics and the Protestants. The Irish and British governments have gone as far to ban voices of members of people named to be apart of terrorist organizations but this has been avoided by having actors simply say what they want.
It is mind boggling to understand why there is so much conflict between two groups of people whose religious views promote peace. Whether it is a religious conflict or merely a political and social conflict in the name of civil rights is unclear. What is clear is that people from different religions have been in conflict with one another since the beginning of civilization; therefore it is not rational to make judgment against the conflict in Northern Ireland but to better understand the rational behind the Northern Irish and the rest of the United Kingdom.

As for the last link, I have to get back to my outgoing quotation on terrorism. Considering this quotation while reading the Channel 5 news report, I believe the word terrorism does not fit well here. As far as I see it, the man who tried to turn of waste water treatment operating systems might be considered a "crazy" in a theoretical sense, who is neither part of an organisation nor had the goal to spread an ideology or revolt against the establishment.
I do believe that the term terrorism suffers from a lack of understanding and comprehensiveness about the theoretical concept of its very meaning. It seems to be that terrorism has been used to describe the intensity, lethality, cruelty or abnormality of a certain illegal behaviour of somebody or a group of people. Unfortunately, this leads to certain misperception among the society about what is actually terrorism. If a society has a misperception on certain things, it might cause wrong reactions, i.e. public policies.
Although this article does not really stress the term "terrorism" as the other articles do, it points to a quite important sub-term within the terrorism concept: state-sponsored terrorism. The question arises though: what to do and who to blame? State-sponsored terrorism can appear in basically two forms: intrinsically and extrinsically. Intrinsically means, that the state (government or regime) uses the method terrorism against its own people. This can be witnessed for example in Iraq prior to 2003, Libya over many decades, Afghanistan under Taliban rule or even partly in Burma. Unfortunately, this form of terrorism is hard to come by due to the recognition of every state's sovereignty.
Extrinsically, means that a state funds, supports and supplements terrorist groups abroad in order to achieve political or military goals. Examples are numerous, i.e. Iran and Hamas, North Korea and Syria, Pakistan and Kashmir and Libya and Northern Ireland. The cases of actual terrorism are mostly deadlier, although less numerous. As can be seen in the case of Libya and Northern Ireland, the motivation for states to do so, is mainly economical nature (i.e. arms trades, export market etc.) and only secondary of ideological nature.
As hard as it might be to counter such form of terrorism, I believe it is the task of the whole international community to reduce arms trades to a minimum. Obama talks a lot about reducing nuclear weapons, although conventional weapons have proven to be far more lethal and devastating than anything else in the world. And if somebody paid attention to the latest news in and around Libya, this concern is strengthened: The German intelligence service raises concerns that Al-Qaeda becomes stronger in the Maghreb due to the ongoing war in Libya and the constant arms flow in the country.
Taking this into account while reading the first link you send me, led me to the conclusion that Mexican drug cartels are technically not a terrorist organization. I believe it is due to their criminal organization and purpose that they fall out of the definition of a classical terrorist group. They do not seek for public attention in order to change the state of mind of the population. They rather try to fight other drug cartels for their goal of supremacy within the drug market. Terrorist groups, as Schmid puts it, strive for an ideological goal and thus choose their targets randomly. As I understand the procedure of drug cartels, they choose their victims with precision (e.g. the FBI agent mentioned in the article) in order to iron out hindrances.

Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures
by Nate Andrews - September 12, 2011, 6:13 pm PDT
Discuss in talkback!
Mama takes her formula to the great outdoors, with a few changes.
Mama's already burgeoning list of hobbies, activities and teachable skills will be receiving a significant addendum with her latest batch of lighthearted mini-games in Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures.
As the title suggests, the successful series, known for its simulation-through-mini-game recipe and myriad spin-offs, is expanding Mama's inexhaustible zest for activities into the previously untapped nature market for this umpteenth iteration. As with many of the previous Mama games, Outdoor Adventures relies heavily on the DS's stylus and touchscreen as a means of completing the various activities and games it dishes out in the wilderness setting. In an expansion of the series' gameplay, however, the island and camp site occupied by Mama and her family—Papa, son Ringo, and daughter Ichigo—serve as hubs for further points of exploration.
While the game's large assortment of mini-games—over 100 in all—is still presented in a traditional, non-contextual format from the menu screen, the new focus present in Camping Mama is its quasi-adventure mode. After choosing one of Mama's children to play as, the player is able to visit the previously mentioned hubs to play through the thirty-eight available levels.
Once an area is chosen, Mama doles out sundry tasks and chores to the player, which can be completed within the confines of the respective environment. This swath of land is presented in an overhead view reminiscent of Pokemon or the 2D Legend of Zelda games. Exploring and interacting with each area, as well as completing Mama's requests, is incorporated into opening up opportunities for new activities and mini-games, such as chopping wood, crafting, rock climbing, spelunking, and even cooking, as well as collecting insects, fossils, treasure and other items, many of which are funneled into the in-game scrap book.

Colleen Roche, the press secretary to Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, announced yesterday that she planned to resign but would remain for several months while she finds another job.
''This has been the most rewarding, challenging and important job that I've ever done,'' Ms. Roche said, ''and a very difficult job to leave. I'm doing it to spend more time at home with my family, my husband.'' Ms. Roche joined the administration in 1995 as a deputy press secretary, and was appointed to the top job two months later.
Ms. Roche is responsible for the Mayor's daily dealings with the press, a tense job that during Mr. Giuliani's administration has often involved presenting unpopular positions, deflecting unwanted attention and helping to prepare quick responses to politically charged questions.
Her days at City Hall often begin at 7 A.M., and end late at night when she stops by the press room to say good night to any reporter who might remain.
Ms. Roche, 40, had been the spokeswoman for the District Attorney of Manhattan, Robert M. Morgenthau. She said she hopes to remain in public relations, only in the corporate sector.
''My wildest dream would be to do something involving sports,'' she said.


What If You Cannot Afford CAR T-Cells?
The hallmark of an antigen-specific response is when T cells recognize and attack an invading pathogen. This same phenomenon occurs in some but not all cancers. The process of neoplasia, which is the development of abnormal cell genomes, results in production and expression of neoantigens that elicit a similar T-cell–mediated response. Once activated against specific antigens, T cells will consume cells that express the antigen until all are eliminated or the T-cell response is turned off via checkpoints.
As the lead story in our upcoming September issue of Oncology Business Management will discuss, a new industry is forming based on our ability to block such checkpoints and enable the antigen-specific T cells to remain active; finish off malignant cells; and, potentially, cure the patient. However, not all tumors express antigens for which a complementary T-cell receptor may conveniently exist to initiate an antigen-specific immune response. Sometimes there are just too many tumor cells for in vivo T-cell generation to succeed. To overcome these limitations, scientists began to manipulate T cells through gene therapy in the early 1980s, leading to the development of functional chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells in 1989.
To have a specific antigen receptor expressed on the surface of a T cell, genetic engineers created DNA constructs that coded for monoclonal antibodies and inserted them into T-cell DNA using retroviral carriers. Once translated into the DNA, the monoclonal antibody expressed a receptor on the T-cell surface with specificity to the antigen expressed by a target malignant cell. Clinical trials have shown CAR T cells to be highly effective in eliminating cancer cells in some patients and seemingly curing those whose malignancy had failed all prior therapies, including bone marrow transplant. There are drawbacks to this therapy. Severe and life-threatening toxicities have occurred because the CAR T cells released cytokines that caused extensive tissue damage; in some cases, the CAR T cells recognized antigens on vital organs such as the heart and attacked, resulting in the death of the patient. However, there is no doubt that for select patients, CAR T cells will be the only real hope for cure of an otherwise incurable disease.
One can only imagine how complex and expensive it will be to mass-produce these cells for clinical use. So, despite all the excitement and anticipation, there is a growing anxiety among payers and providers: "What will CAR T cells cost?" Early estimates are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Soon, the warning bell will ring, and everyone will demand explanations for why these modified cells cost so much. Will this be another example of a high-flying technology that is overused and won't add value to healthcare? I think not, but we must be cautious. The expense and complexity of this therapy demand that it work most of the time and replace another costly procedure—bone marrow transplantation. It is comforting to know that manufacturers of these products are considering value-based reimbursements, requiring payment only if the therapy eradicates all detectable cancer cells. In addition, this product must eliminate the need for other products and services so that revenues and expenses stay in balance. In prior days, if you could not afford a car, you walked. Here, you may not be able to not afford a CAR T cell if your life depends on it, so we must find a place for CAR T cells in our healthcare budgets.

The Lost Symbol
Mystery,
Before The Da Vinci Code became the best-selling adult novel of all time — before the adventures of tweedy symbologist Robert Langdon enchanted 81 million readers worldwide and became a blockbuster franchise starring Tom Hanks — Dan Brown was already at work on the sequel. That was more than seven years ago. Since then, Brown has become a millionaire several hundred times over, been unsuccessfully sued twice for plagiarism, and generally hung around in the air like a piñata for sneering critics. His long-awaited follow-up The Lost Symbol arrives draped in a richly designed jacket full of winking symbols and codes. The author knows there are some who will see only a big red bull's-eye beneath his name. "The Da Vinci Code had the audacity to park at number one for a little bit too long," says Brown. "And it became very en vogue just to trash my books."
Some people seriously love to hate on the man. Salman Rushdie publicly dismissed The Da Vinci Code as "a novel so bad that it gives bad novels a bad name." Stephen King, speaking to University of Maine graduates, urged young people to seek out literature that wasn't like Brown's "intellectual equivalent of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese." But, his critics notwithstanding, Brown's Mac & Cheese has managed to delight a healthy portion of the planet. A Dan Brown thriller is fun, fast, and unsexy, and it makes you want to spend a Saturday in a museum or, better yet, splurge on an all-inclusive trip to Italy. The man himself is not hip, and does not aspire to be. His taste for turtlenecks, for instance, was much maligned during the promotion of The Da Vinci Code. They have since been replaced by simple dress shirts, though Brown has held tight to his tweed jackets and penny loafers. "I'm a white, preppy geek," he says unapologetically. "Forgive me." He aims for amused imperviousness when his public image and professional work are attacked. "But, yes, of course it hurts."
If you're wondering why Brown has been absent from the public eye for so many years — why The Lost Symbol was so long in gestating — it's because the former prep-school English teacher had made himself a promise. "I will not write a lame follow-up," he insisted. "It could take me 20 years. But I will never turn in a book that I'm not happy with." Brown pauses. "Four years ago I wasn't happy with the book. Five years ago I wasn't happy with the book." Finally, amid a flurry of articles trumpeting the terrifically pleasant 45-year-old author as the white knight come to resuscitate a wheezing publishing industry, he felt ready to return. "And if the book weren't good," he says confidently, "I'd be terrified."
A week before publication, Doubleday was in a state of frantic lockdown. Only a handful of people on the 19th floor of the Manhattan publishing house had read The Lost Symbol. Any journalist given a sneak peek had to sign a nondisclosure agreement, relinquish cell phone and BlackBerry, and read the 509-page book in one marathon sitting. Armed guards surrounded the publisher's warehouse where the 5 million-plus copies waited to be unleashed on the world.
"You do not want to be caught stealing this book," Brown says the next day, clearly tickled by the amount of breathless hoopla. He's sitting on the fourth floor of the library at the elite prep school Phillips Exeter, where he can contort his body to point out his New Hampshire childhood home in the distance. His father had a storied career in the school's mathematics department, and he himself spent a couple of years teaching English here.
Brown and his wife, Blythe, who is 12 years his senior and aids tremendously in his book research, live a few towns over from Exeter. The couple met in Los Angeles when Brown was pursuing an ill-fated songwriting career, and are now building an architectural dream house full of secret passageways and bookcases and cavernous rooms laden with codes. They live on land they call the Isle of Langdonia, a tribute to the character who made such extravagances possible. The couple have no children, though Brown likes to think of his novels as his kids. "They're always out there getting in trouble," he jokes. "They never do what you want."

inability to eat very much. If we eat too much we might vomit and feel unwell. However, prolonged vomiting needs addressing.
Rarely, it can be a sign of preeclampsia. If vomiting is accompanied by headaches, swelling, and fatigue, it is important to get checked out as soon as possible. If preeclampsia is not treated it can be fatal for mother and baby.
If it is close to the due date or there have been prolonged abdominal cramps, it could be a sign of labor. Kids Center reminds us that if there are some weeks before the due date it's important to seek medical attention. Preterm babies and mother need some attention that only a hospital can provide.
Sometimes even late into pregnancy, expectant mothers might still be experiencing morning sickness in the third trimester. Whilst this is unpleasant and debilitating, it is not dangerous for the baby and it will take all the nutrients it needs providing some food and liquid is kept down. If this becomes severe it might be necessary to go to the hospital to be fed intravenously.

The insanity defense is considered one of the most controversial, most misunderstood, and least straightforward subjects in the American legal system. Disorder in the Court: Morality, Myth, and the Insanity Defense traces the US legal standards for the insanity defense as they have evolved from 1843, when they were first codified in England, to 1984, when the US government attempted to revise them through the Insanity Defense Reform Act. Throughout this period "insanity" existed primarily as a legal term rather than a medical one; yet the testimony of psychiatric experts is required in cases in which an insanity defense is raised.
Alden examines landmark court cases such as the trial of Daniel McNaughtan, Durham v. United States, and the trial of John Hinckley Jr. that signal the major shifts in the legal definitions of the insanity defense. Combining archival, textual, and rhetorical analysis, Alden offers a close reading of texts including trial transcripts, appellate court opinions, and relevant medical literature from the time period. She contextualizes these analyses through popular texts—for example, newspaper articles and editorials—showing that while all societies have maintained some version of mental illness as a mitigating factor in their penal systems, the insanity defense has always been fraught with controversy.
Andrea L. Alden is an assistant professor of English at Grand Canyon University.


Hello everyone, I am Curio Uchiha. I have made several Sites much like this one in the past with only one cutting it close to being this big. At first these forums were owned by a couple who i consider my good friends and when they backed out of it due to lack of time i took over and this was at our old location (Which was on freeforums, but we switched to Forumotion due to the ability to create your site to the way you like without paying a cent). I have been in this business since 2009 starting with a different Naruto rp. However that Naruto rp wasn't anything like this and was a bit more complex, but that site has been gone for years so its time for the future.

10 things you should do this March
The most fun shows, events and exhibitions on this month. By Luciana Bellini and Beatriz Choi
This month it's all about spring flowers, Americana and Disney joy. We bring you the very best things to do in London this March...
Marimo Images
Where's the nicest place in London to enjoy the first signs of spring? Petersham Nurseries, of course, where you can buy everything you need to bring your garden back to life. And if you need some help figuring out how to do that, sign up for their Grow Your Own Cut Flower Patch workshop with Georgie Newbery on 21 March. You'll get tips on colour, scent and how to make sure you have flowers all year round, plus a prosecco-filled lunch at the Petersham café (tbh, it's worth it for the food alone). Chatsworth is holding its largest exhibition to date, House Style: Five Centuries of Fashion at Chatsworth, from 25 March. Curated by US Vogue's editor-at-large Hamish Bowles, the exhibition will bring to life some of the most captivating women from the Cavendish family, including Bess of Hardwick, one of the 16th century's most powerful women, the 18th-century 'Empress of Fashion' Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and the Mitford sisters. London Design Week is back from 12 to 17 March - head to the Design Centre to have a snoop around the brands and designers on show before taking a well-earned break at Tatler's pop-up restaurant. Want even more design and Tatler-branded food? Make a trip to the BADA Fair from 15 to 21 March and don't forget to check out the Tatler Dining Room while you're there. And Bluebird are hosting a series of cinema screenings throughout March of some of their favourite films, like Bridget Jones's Baby and Wedding Crashers - tickets include a welcome drink and two-course meal. Our top pick? Pretty Woman on 15 March.
Following the collapse of the stock market, the Great Depression in Thirties America was a time of widespread economic and social gloom, and the general mood was one of uncertainty and despair (sound familiar?). Artists like Edward Hopper and Grant Wood captured that mood in their atmospheric paintings, and Hopper's Gas (1940) and Wood's iconic American Gothic (1930), which is crossing the pond for the first time ever, are among a selection of works currently on show at the RA as part of America after the Fall: Painting in the 1930s. Until 4 June.
The finest Scottish-inspired deliveries for a Burns Night feast
Although there'll be no raucous parties this year, you can still enjoy a spectacular Burns supper at home
The British Museum continues the Yankee art theme in an exhibition about American pop art - think Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Robert Rauschenberg - with The American Dream: Pop to the Present, from 9 March until 18 June.
And lastly, if you fancy something more colourful, head over to the Victoria Miro gallery to see Do Ho Suh: Passage/s, where Suh has painstakingly recreated spaces he has lived in through candy-coloured fabric installations. Fascinating stuff. Until 18 March.
Disney Enterprises
There's been a lot of hype about the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast (out 17 March) - will Emma Watson live up to the Belle of our childhood dreams? How will they recreate the singing teapot? And, most importantly, will we fancy Dan Stevens more as the beast or as the prince? And new documentary Dancer (out 10 March) tells the story of maverick Ukrainian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin, who took the dance world by storm after becoming the Royal Ballet's youngest ever principal aged 19, only to walk away from it all at the peak of his success aged 25.
The most fabulous homes in the capital are set to get more expensive this year
Mansions in London's prime enclaves are in high-demand among the super-rich, with sales rising by up to 15 per cent
To celebrate International Women's Day on 8 March, Jimmy Choo Presents has teamed up with UN Women UK and Curzon Cinemas to host a series of film screenings throughout the month to showcase the work and stories of women. Films include A Quiet Passion on 8 March and Lady Macbeth on 22 March, as well as Their Finest on 29 March, with a post-screening discussion with the film's star, Bill Nighy. Oh, and did we mention your ticket also includes a glass of Nyetimber and a mini-tub of Green & Black's ice cream?

4J & YMCA talking site location
News by Ted TaylorPosted on 03/14/2014
This news just in today from School District 4J:
The Eugene School District and the Eugene Family YMCA are moving forward to consider if the Roosevelt Middle School site could also be the Y's future home.
Superintendent Shelley Berman is recommending that the Eugene School Board initiate a public process to consider whether to sell, lease or trade a portion of the Roosevelt Middle School site to the Y. The district is planning to replace Roosevelt Middle School by constructing a new school west of the current building. Once the older building is removed from the southwest corner of Hilyard Street and East 24th Avenue, the district could either convert the area to soccer fields or offer up to seven acres to the YMCA for recreation facilities.
"Roosevelt and the YMCA could be great next door neighbors," said Berman. "We both see advantages for our students, families and the community. It's now time to put this idea on the table for both organizations."
The Y provides youth activity programs in schools throughout Eugene as well as at their south Eugene facility. "We have long partnered with the school district to help kids be healthy, active, and engaged in positive and enriching activities," said Julie Grossman, associate executive director for the Y. "Moving forward with plans to replace our aging facilities will ensure that the Y can continue that mission and expand services to kids and families for years to come."
Initial design concepts for a new Roosevelt Middle School building will be presented for community comment at a public meeting Tuesday, April 1 from 5:30-7 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Some options will show a footprint and parking for a new YMCA while other options will show soccer fields instead. A YMCA facility would be compatible with current PL-Public Lands zoning of the property.
In the coming weeks, the Eugene School Board will consider expanding the criteria used in deciding whether to sell, trade or lease district property as well as whether to move ahead to offer property to the Y. A public hearing on the proposal to offer a portion of the Roosevelt site to the YMCA will be scheduled for May 7 and the school board will make on decision on May 21, under the timeline that will be presented at the Wednesday, March 19 school board meeting. The terms of any sale, lease or property exchange would then be negotiated, however, both parties expect to discuss the parameters for such an agreement over the next two months. A final agreement could be ready for school district and YMCA approval in June.

It's been the hottest stock market in the world, gaining over 40% in the first couple months of the year.
Anyway, it's finally experiencing the phenomenon known as gravity.
The EGX 30 Price Return Index is off 1% today, following a 1.9% drop yesterday. In fact, it's fallen every day since Wednesday.
As you can see in the chart via Bloomberg, it's still up incredibly this year, but it's good to see the laws up what-goes-up-most-come-down still apply.
It's worth noting that all through the runup, analysts have been scratching their heads, wondering why it was doing so well.
It's well known that the economy is in shambles, and that the government is running out of foreign exchange reserves. But in 2012, so far, one big theme has been the re-risking of global markets. And so a market that got trashed in 2011 -- as Egypt's did -- was a natural candidate for a severe bounceback.

Airlines oppose Abuja airport closure
Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja
The Federal Government on Thursday explained to aviation stakeholders why the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja must be shut for six weeks beginning from March 8 in order to carry out repairs on its runway and taxi ways.
But despite the explanation made by the Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, at a stakeholders' meeting, the Airline Operators of Nigeria, an umbrella body for carriers in the country, opposed the move by the government to shut the NAIA.
The Federal Government had earlier stated that during the closure of the Abuja airport, passenger traffic and flight activities would be diverted to the Kaduna International Airport for the six-week period, a development that would lead to the screening of air travellers twice, in Abuja and Kaduna.
In a bid to get the inputs of stakeholders, the Federal Government convened an industry-wide meeting on Thursday, which had in attendance different security agencies' officials, representatives of foreign embassies in Nigeria, international airline operators and their domestic counterparts, legislators, the governments of Kaduna, Kwara and Niger states, as well as other participants.
However, in its submission after an elaborate presentation by the minister, the AON declared that it was in support of the rehabilitation of the NAIA runway, but stressed that the facility should be repaired at night without necessarily shutting down the airport completely for six weeks.
Speaking on behalf of the airline operators, the Chairman, AON, Capt. Nogie Meggison, argued that the Kaduna airport might not be ready to carry the volume of traffic that hits Abuja on a daily basis, among other issues.
He said, "We are in total support of the rehabilitation of the Abuja runway, which is long overdue and is becoming a safety issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. But the AON, on the other side, is of the view that shutting the runway is not the best for now.
"We believe that the runway can be repaired at night, like what is done in other countries. A case study is the Gatwick Airport, which handles 400,000 passengers annually, far higher than what Abuja handles. Or alternatively, the runway in Abuja is 3,900 metres and if you split it into two, you will get roughly 2,000 metres."
Meggison added, "With 2,000 metres of runway, they can fix one side for three or four weeks and come back to the other side. With 2,000 metres of runway, a 737 aircraft can comfortably get into it for a one-hour flight; and a DRJ, Dash-8 and domestic carriers can come in. International carriers can go to Lagos and Kano, and we distribute for them, like what is done anywhere in the world."
"We also believe that Kaduna may not be too ready for this and for the volume of passengers that will be coming through that airport."
In response to the AON's position, the minister said the government would have worked at night on the Abuja airport if the level of dilapidation of the facility was just on the surface of the runway and taxi ways.
Sirika said, "But right now, all the four-level structures on that runway are completely gone. It is completely dilapidated. What was done in Gatwick was done for six months, but we are doing six weeks of closure to be able to attend to the critical parts of that runway.
"This working at night without disruption of flights is what we have been doing for 14 years on that runway and we have been achieving the same result. To stop spending billions and getting the same result, we engaged a wide range of engineers, who advised that it be closed and a complete and thorough job be done on the runway."
The minister explained that the lifespan of the Abuja runway had been exceeded by 14 years without adequate maintenance as opposed to that of the Gatwick Airport, which receives constant maintenance.
He stressed that the Abuja runway might be forced to shut down on its own, as was the case of the Port Harcourt airport runway some years ago, a development that grounded flight activities in the state for two and half years.
On logistics being put in place for travellers to use the Kaduna airport, Sirika said N1.1bn had been approved by the Federal Government for its rehabilitation and that work on the facility would be completed before March 8.
He said Abuja passengers would board free buses to and from the Kaduna airport, adding that security would be provided by aviation security personnel, police, Ministry of Defence, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Kaduna State Government.
Sirika explained that military and police officers would be stationed on the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway during the six-week period, and that there would be train and helicopter services for passengers who could afford them.
On claims that the United Kingdom High Commission in Nigeria would close its services during the period, the minister stated this was a lie, adding that he had met with the personnel of the high commission and they had refuted the allegation.

Gambling with Belief: Revealing Character through Religious Advisors, Prophets and Fanatics
June 10, 2015 July 27, 2015 jstueart
(For more of these Explorations of Faith in Science Fiction and Fantasy, see Wrestling with Gods blog where this was first published)
[SPOILERS if you have not yet seen last Sunday's Game of Thrones episode "Dance of Dragons"]
Sunday's Game of Thrones shocked many with its depiction of a father who decides to sacrifice his only daughter and heir to his name in order to Win the Throne. George RR Martin may not have put it in his books yet—but he did tell the showrunners, DB Weiss and Dan Benioff, that this was definitely coming. I don't want to address the level of violence in the show. I think its characters are appropriate to their world. We have seen beheadings, slayings, burnings, stabbings, as well as rape, mutilation, etc. from good and bad characters. This is the world Martin has written, so by those rules this is how our characters react to crisis and achieve goals. It is profound then that level, compassionate heads are in short supply these days (and being mounted on spikes every season). I count Tyrion, Doran, Jon, Samwell, Varys, Margeary, Olenna, and a handful of others as being the people I would listen to if I lived in Game of Thrones. The Hound and Dario might have the most practical means of getting through this world alive, but I wouldn't want to become them, so I wouldn't want them as advisors.
Who one listens to—having good advisors—is a form of power, no different than a Valyrian sword, I will say. We all cheered when Dany and Tyrion met because, frankly, Dany could use some good advisors. Her decisions have been erratic–as she seeks to maintain power in a desperately sinking cultural situation.
I want to highlight three "gods" or specifically, three "speakers" for their gods who have become either advisors or powerful people themselves, and ask questions about the ideas that Martin brings out (or the showrunners highlight). I want to look at how an author might use religion or faith in his or her work to mirror, echo, or highlight something in our own culture.
The High Sparrow, Melissandre and Jaquen all follow their respective gods–but they also determine what messages of those gods get heard and acted upon. Being the spokesperson for a "god" comes with advantages. No one can question you because YOU alone have the red phone to your god–so you can interpret which sins to go after, who to confront, how to judge, and what to do.
Also the Authority for these spokespeople rests not in Kings or Queens but in the god that only you can interpret… and which has no accountability. As bad as Kings and Queens are–there are ways to get them out of power. There are ways to make them responsible for their crimes. (As we see in Westeros though, fair courts haven't been invented yet.)
Gods utilise armies and weapons. Cersei armed the Faith Militant. We can all agree that arming the Faith Militant was a stupid move for Cersei: faith-driven people with weapons do not make a reasonable or controllable group. Jaquen and the Faceless Men have poison–but they are hired by people. Melissandre has fire and magic (but also Stannis' army to back her up). Each group has a weapon and an army to enforce their will–er, um…their god's will–but they need outside help: High Sparrow needed Cersei to arm them; Jaquen needs to be hired; Melissandre needs Stannis' army.
I don't think the High Sparrow, Jaquen nor Melissandre are complex characters—meaning they aren't that interesting to me. Who IS interesting: the people who listen to them. Cersei, Stannis, Arya. All are listening to these "religious" prophets and receiving advice in the same way that Dany (when or if she comes back from her Dragon ride) will from Tyrion, as Jon receives advice from Samwell. Those two advisors' strength is knowledge, not belief. A key difference.
Note: I'm not saying that belief is inherently good or bad, but it is a gamble. I will be the first to say that as a Christian, I gamble on God. Leave that to me; I don't ask you to make the same gamble unless you want to. But it is a gamble. And the gambler—THAT PERSON—is the interesting one. Not the mouthpiece prophet, but the listener.
Advisors aren't just strategists–though that's interesting too—but characters use them to way moral choices, and that's fascinating. Tyrion and Samwell seem to be some of the few advisors that have a moral centre and they are pitted against those brilliant advisors who have no moral consideration for the people they affect.
I suppose we approach spiritual advisors because we want morality as part of our decisions, sometimes. Though Melisandre has never offered morality on her resume. Jaquen and High Sparrow offer justice as their reason. Melisandre offers power–and the fulfillment of a destiny to Stannis.
Stannis received advice from Melissandre (who serves the Red God) Sunday to kill his daughter in order to help his troops have victory. Having a god ask for you to sacrifice your child is not new to Martin's Game of Thrones. This brings back allusions to Abraham's ALMOST slaughter of Isaac on God's command, Jephthah's sacrifice of his daughter because of his own promise, and Agamemnon's sacrifice of Iphigenia during the war on Troy in obedience to the gods of winds and weather. But it's that moment when a character asks him/herself WHO they are listening to interpret the words of their god, or WHICH god they are listening to—when reason and rationality come back and ask if this faith or this god is making a world a better place or if things are getting worse for people around you. Now, honestly, for Stannis, things were looking great until Ramsay torched some supplies. But were they looking Shireen-bad—like bad enough to sacrifice your daughter? Good god, Melissandre is in service to the FIRE GOD—could she not have come up with some freakin warmth for them?
Weiss and Benioff made the suggestion in their behind the scenes look at the episode that they felt like they were asking the question: what if your advisor/ god is wrong? What if you sacrifice your daughter and your daughter dies for nothing? What about Blackwater—that wasn't a success! Could this be another Blackwater?
Stannis' advisors amount to one—Melissandre– his own personal Rasputin— and he is a weaker ruler because of it. But it is revealing him as a character. It is not revealing Melissandre. She doesn't change. Only Stannis. We see him waver–we see him choose, regret, get angry. There's US—there's the human who is torn by belief. Not the true believer but the one who needs advice learning that listening too closely–without reason—can get you lost.
The High Sparrow, for all his Francis of Assisi garb and claiming to be cleansing the realm, has turned into his own hypocrite—taking power to take down the powerful, letting his personal vendetta against the rich control his interpretation of the Seven Gods. While no one was unhappy that Cersei got thrown into jail–it wasn't just. She was caught in a trap (of her own making) and now the worst people are in charge, worse than Cersei, because you can't negotiate with them. Their advisor—their god–is out of the room and they speak for him. You cannot circumvent them to find out what the god is saying yourself.
Cersei arming them, listening to them, says so much about Cersei—and once she is in jail–her development as a character becomes more sympathetic and deeply nuanced. I don't care about the High Sparrow—but I care about the character who listened to him.
Jaquen serves Death–in his many faces. As head of an assassin's guild, he doesn't determine who is worthy of justice and death on his own. He is paid. A sellsword with poison. He's not going to change. But Arya–who is being trained by the Faceless Men to become an assassin has her own agenda. She doesn't want to be a hired assassin, I believe. She wants to learn the trade so that she can go rogue—and THAT's fascinating. Watching her waver between trying to get the approval of Jaquen and to accomplish her own deep mission, to avenge her family, is wonderful.
So, religion can be a powerful narrative device—because:
a) those who are its spokespeople influence characters who are looking for good advice.
b) that advice and that influence reveal character
c) that struggle for reason in the midst of the religion reveals character
d) the rejection of that advice can also reveal character
In the end, Mace Tyrell tells the Iron Bank that all usury and lending of money is a gamble—you don't know what will pay off. Advice is the same way—but advice tinged with religion reveals deep fears, prejudices, alignments, vulnerabilities in a way that no other advisor/advisee relationship can. There's a god on one end of this, we think—and we are desperate to hear that god–believing THAT advice trumps all others and assures us of getting what we need.
Whose advice do you gamble on? And what's your way of discovering if you need to change advisors? Do you ever rely on spiritual advice, or spiritual guidance?

Die Großherzoglich-Badische Grabkapelle im Fasanengarten in Karlsruhe wurde 1889–1896 von Hermann Hemberger nach Vorentwürfen von Franz Baer und Friedrich Hemberger in der Karlsruher Oststadt erbaut.

Geschichte

Auftraggeber waren der badische Großherzog Friedrich I. und seine Gemahlin Luise von Preußen: Anlass dafür war der frühe Tod ihres jüngsten Sohnes Ludwig Wilhelm. Die Eltern wünschten sich, seiner fern vom Lärm der Stadt "in der Abgeschiedenheit des tiefen Waldfriedens" gedenken zu können. Denn bislang waren die badischen Herrscher in der Schlosskirche St. Michael in Pforzheim oder in der Gruft der Karlsruher Stadtkirche beigesetzt worden – Orte, die vom Großherzogspaar ohne öffentliches Aufsehen nicht zu besuchen waren.

Die Grabkapelle liegt in der Lärchenallee des Hardtwalds, am Rande des Fasanengartens zwischen Adenauerring und Klosterweg, gegenüber dem Hans-Dickmann-Kolleg. Sie zählt zu den stimmungsvollsten Monumenten der badischen Geschichte.

Das Äußere der Grabkapelle ist mit seinen Proportionen und dem betont hohen Vierungsturm auf Fernsicht ausgerichtet. Fialen, Wasserspeier und Drachenfiguren, fantasievolle Arbeiten des Karlsruher Bildhauers Sauer, schmücken den Bau.

Der lichtdurchflutete Innenraum der Oberkirche wird durch übereinanderstehende Säulenreihen geprägt, wovon die obere Reihe aus schwarz schimmerndem Labrador gearbeitet ist. Sie tragen Sandsteinkonsolen und ein hölzernes Tonnengewölbe mit kunstvollen Gurtbögen. Vier Engelsköpfe aus lichtgelbem Kalkstein beleben die Vierung. Überall sind Schmuckformen wie Laubfriese und Laubkapitelle zu finden. In den Blättern des Apsisfrieses verstecken sich steinerne Eidechsen. Hermann Volz stattete die Oberkirche mit marmornen Prachtgräbern für Prinz Ludwig Wilhelm, Großherzog Friedrich I. und seine Gemahlin Luise von Preußen aus.

Von der Oberkirche führen breite Treppenstufen in die Gruft hinunter. Hinter einem zweiteiligen, schmiedeeisernen Tor öffnet sich ein heller und freundlicher Raum.
In diesem befinden sich 18 Särge; die letzte Beisetzung war 1952.

Die Großherzogliche Grabkapelle zählt zu den landeseigenen Monumenten und wird von der Einrichtung Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten Baden-Württemberg betreut. Seit 2011 kann die Oberkirche von April bis Oktober zu den betreffenden Öffnungszeiten besichtigt werden. Die Gruft ist nur im Rahmen von Sonderführungen zu besichtigen.

Liste der in der Gruft Bestatteten
Sortiert nach Todesjahr; die vor 1888 verstorbenen Familienmitglieder wurden ursprünglich in der Gruft der Evangelischen Stadtkirche Karlsruhe bestattet und erst infolge des Zweiten Weltkrieges in die Grabkapelle überführt:

 Großherzog Ludwig I. von Baden (1763–1830)
 Henriette von Baden (1833–1834), Tochter des Prinzen Wilhelm
 Großherzog Leopold von Baden (1790–1852)
 Großherzog Ludwig II. von Baden (1824–1858)
 Prinz Wilhelm von Baden (1792–1859)
 Elisabeth Alexandrine von Württemberg (1802–1864), Ehefrau von Prinz Wilhelm

 Prinz Maximilian von Baden (1796–1882)
 Prinz Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden (1865–1888)
 Prinzessin Pauline Elisabeth von Baden (1835–1891)
 Prinz Wilhelm von Baden (1829–1897), nach Salem überführt
 Prinz Karl von Baden (1832–1906)

 Rosalie Gräfin von Rhena geborene Freiin von Beust (1845–1908), Ehefrau von Prinz Karl
 Friedrich Graf von Rhena (1877–1908)
 Luise von Preußen (1838–1923), Gemahlin Friedrichs I.

Book Review | The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff #bookreview #pamjenoff
Genre: Historical Fiction, WWII
🍊🍊🍊🍊/5
Captivating. Heart-wrenching. Emotional.
Pam Jenoff is one of my favorite historical fiction authors and The Kommandants Girl and The Diplomats Wife are books I always recommend.
In her latest title, we visit London, Scotland and France in 1943-1946. The main character is Eleanor, a secretary at the SOE (Special Operation Executive) a clandestine British intelligence agency. One thing leads to another and she is tasked with recruiting and training female operatives to spy, send radio transmissions and risk their lives for the war effort.
She is a strong female lead and she is protective of "her girls". She isn't the warmest character but that is intentional.
Aside from the danger and intrigue that the girls go through which is heart stopping- there's a secondary storyline (that begins a few years after Eleanor's story begins) of a found briefcase full of pictures of women. The woman, Grace is curious about the photographs and begins a mission to find out who these women were, beginning with Marie, one of Eleanor's operatives. I was impressed by how the two storylines connected.
This was historical fiction based on actual events, and the author's portrayal of Eleanor, Marie and Grace's experiences was powerful and memorable. I was completely immersed in the plot and was pleased with the story's outcome.
Goodreads | Amazon
Pam is the author of several novels, including her most recent The Orphan's Tale, an instant New York Times bestseller. Pam was born in Maryland and raised outside Philadelphia. She attended George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and Cambridge University in England. Upon receiving her master's in history from Cambridge, she accepted an appointment as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Army. The position provided a unique opportunity to witness and participate in operations at the most senior levels of government, including helping the families of the Pan Am Flight 103 victims secure their memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, observing recovery efforts at the site of the Oklahoma City bombing and attending ceremonies to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of World War II at sites such as Bastogne and Corregidor.
Following her work at the Pentagon, Jenoff moved to the State Department. In 1996 she was assigned to the U.S. Consulate in Krakow, Poland. It was during this period that Pam developed her expertise in Polish-Jewish relations and the Holocaust. Working on matters such as preservation of Auschwitz and the restitution of Jewish property in Poland, Jenoff developed close relations with the surviving Jewish community.
Having left the Foreign Service in 1998 to attend law school at the University of Pennsylvania, Jenoff is now employed as an attorney in Philadelphia.
Pam is the author of The Kommandant's Girl, which was an international bestseller and nominated for a Quill award, as well as The Diplomat's Wife and Almost Home.

I loved this one as well. It was so emotional and gut wrenching. Terrific review, Jaymi!
Thank you 😊 Have you read any of her others?
I did. I read her The Kommandant's Girl and The Orphan's Tale both of which I really liked. She is very talented for sure!

Q: Why does $x^2 \equiv 2 \pmod{5}$ have no solution? Can someone explain why $x^2 \equiv 2 \pmod{5}$ has no solution other than trial and error?
So I've shown that modulo 5, we have $0^2 \equiv 0, 1^2 \equiv 1, 2^2 \equiv 4, 3^2 \equiv 4, 4^2 \equiv 1$ and I'm seeing that it doesn't look like there is a solution but what is the actual reason? Since I can't go through infinitely many numbers.

A: Yes, because every integer is of one of the forms:
$$5k,5k\pm1, 5k\pm2, k\in\Bbb Z$$
and we get:
$$(5k)^2=25k^2\equiv0\pmod5$$
$$(5k\pm1)^2=25k^2\pm10k+1\equiv1\pmod5$$
$$(5k\pm2)^2=25k^2\pm20k+4\equiv4\pmod5$$
None of these are $\equiv2\pmod5$, so no solutions exist

A: You have already shown what you need. Every integer is of the form $0, 1, 2, 3$, or $4$ modulo $5$, and  $0^2$ mod $5 = 0$, $1^2$ mod $5 = 1$, $2^2$ mod $5 = 4$, $3^2$ mod $5 = 4$, and $4^2$ mod $5 = 1$, so we know that there is no integer $x$ for which $x^2 \equiv 2(mod\;5)$ i.e. $x^2(mod\;5) \neq 2$ for all integers $x$.

A: Since there are only 5 elements in ${\mathbb Z}_5$, we can just try all 5 of them:
$0^2=0, 1^2=1, 2^2=4, 3^2=9\equiv 4\pmod{5}, 4^2=16\equiv 1 \pmod{5}$. So none of them when squared gives us $2 \pmod{5}$

A: Well every integer ends with 0 or 1 or 2 or...or 9.
So $x^2$ ends with 0 or 1 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 9,
so $x^2$ cannot be 2 modulo 5.

30 Days of Classical, Day 11: Uniquely American
Classical Music Features Bob Christiansen ·	 Sep 11, 2015
Listen 30 Days of Classical, Day 11
Aaron Copland Mickey Adair
Aaron Copland's genius was the ability to capture in his music the very essence of America; whether it was the wild, Wild West, city traffic on a Sunday afternoon, spring on a farm in Appalachia or everyday life in a small town in New England at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Thornton Wilder wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, "Our Town" in 1938. Two years later, a film drawn from that play provided the musical canvas that Aaron Copland painted on.
Just listen to his music and you will hear the sound of a place you grew up, (or maybe where you would have liked to have grown up). Copland later arranged a brief concert suite from his original film score.
"Our Town" is a gentle story of life and love and loss, and is uniquely American.

Birmingham Improv Festival is bringing 100 performers to city as it returns this month
Staff Reporter October 3, 2018 Birmingham Improv Festival is bringing 100 performers to city as it returns this month2018-10-03T18:54:03+00:00
Birmingham Improv Festival 2018 will welcome over 100 performers to the city between Friday 26th October to Saturday 3rd November.

Birmingham Improvisation Festival 2018 will welcome over 100 performers to the Blue Orange Theatre and Birmingham Repertory Theatre from Friday 26th October to Saturday 3rd November.
Now firmly on the festival map, this year's event sees a range of performers visiting the city from across the UK and internationally including New York, Edinburgh, London, Bristol, Ireland, Nottingham; alongside home-grown Troupes from Birmingham – now seen as a seedbed for improv talent!
Highlights for this year include the return of the West End's Olivier award-winning improv musical Showstopper!, Birmingham's Jumprov – the UK's first ethnically diverse Improvisational Theatre Company – BBC Radio 4 and Edinburgh's sell-out Superstars Austentatious; and the hilarious Neil Curran+1 (organiser of Ireland's own Improv Festival) who will select at random a member of the audience to perform with him.
As well as live performances the festival proudly presents a line-up of informative, creative and fun improv workshops led by professionals
London's Concept Album make their festival debut with an entire new album improvised live, while North Coast will be bringing "mind blowing" Hip Hop Improv comedy direct from New York.
London's Castles in the Air are set to improvise stories in the spirit of the films of Hayao Miyazaki, and Society of Strange aim to bring a seasonal touch to the festival with Halloween mystery and horror; while Birmingham's very own Box of Frogs will perform at the city's popular Glee Club.
As well as live performances the festival proudly presents a line-up of informative, creative and fun improv workshops led by professionals who will be performing across the 9 days.
Impromptu Shakespeare will be creating the scenes Shakespeare never wrote
The workshops include Neil Curran with You're Doing it Wrong! a chance to work with one of Ireland's best improvisors focussing on what not to do in improv; Spontaneous Potter who present Find the Fun, Ruin the Plot! to find the fun in improvising narrative longform, while Impromptu Shakespeare will be creating 'the scenes Shakespeare never wrote'.
The festival is particularly chuffed too be showcasing North Coast, especially from New York, who will present an Intro to Hip Hop Improv and a chance to set yourself up, find your flow, and weave your rapped verses in and out of your improv scene-work.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or an enthusiastic beginner, these workshops have something for every taste and talent.
