Vladimir (), baptismal name: Vasily Nikiforovich Bogoyavlensky (; 1 January 1848 – ), was a bishop of the Russian Orthodox Church. He was appointed the position of Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna between 1898–1912, Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga between 1912–1915, and Metropolitan of Kiev and Gallich between 1915–1918. Murdered by Bolshevik soldiers in 1918, Metropolitan Vladimir was glorified as a Hieromartyr by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1998.

He was Primus (chairman) of the Holy Synod (1912-1917).

Priesthood
Born to a family of a clergyman in Tambov Governorate, Vasili Bogoyavlensky graduated from a seminary in Tambov and Kiev Theological Academy. He then returned to Tambov to teach at his alma mater. In 1882, Vasili was ordained a priest in a town of Kozlov in Tambov Guberniya. On the death of his wife and child in 1886, he was tonsured (took monastic vows) being given the religious name of Vladimir, and was appointed igumen (abbot) of the Trinity Monastery in that same town.

Bishop of Samara and Stavropolsk
In 1888, Igumen Vladimir was sent to St Petersburg as a vicar to assist the Metropolitan and was thereafter consecrated as a bishop. He was soon assigned to preach in Samara. When the country was afflicted by the epidemic of cholera and crop failure, he called upon the clergy and laity to help the needy and often conducted moliebens himself, beseeching the Lord to deliver people from calamities.

For six years, from 1892, Vladimir administered the Georgian Exarchate, paying special attention to the spiritual enlightenment of the multiethnic Orthodox population of the Caucasus, and opening new churches and parish schools.

Metropolitan of Moscow and Kolomna
In 1898, Bishop Vladimir was summoned to Moscow where he was appointed Metropolitan of Moscow. During the events of October 1905, Metropolitan Vladimir wrote an address entitled, "What should we do during these troubled days?" (Что нам делать в эти тревожные наши дни?) and ordered that it be read aloud to the people in all of the churches in and around Moscow. In this address, he told the people of Moscow about the "criminal" and "anti-Christian" intentions of those who had compiled The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Metropolitan Vladimir's address made a huge impression on those who confessed Russian Orthodoxy. He himself read his speech in the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. Assessing the Protocols, Vladimir directly associated its authors' "monstrous" intentions with the revolutionary events in Russia, examining the then-ongoing social disturbance in the Russian society from a religious, not political, point of view. He urged the Eastern Orthodox people to stand up against the Anti-Christ.

Metropolitan of St. Petersburg and Ladoga
Upon the death of the Metropolitan Anthony of Saint Petersburg in 1912, Metropolitan Vladimir was chosen to fill this post. His successful career in this city, however, came to an end because he had been criticizing Grigori Rasputin's influence on the Church.

Metropolitan of Kiev and Galich
In December 1915, Vladimir was sent away to Kiev. He was Metropolitan of Kiev and Gallich from 1915 to 1918. A few months after the October Revolution, Metropolitan Vladimir was arrested by five Red Army soldiers on  when the army of Muravyov swept through Ukraine and in front of his monks was immediately executed and his body mutilated.

Metropolitan Vladimir was glorified (canonized) as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church on October 4, 1998. His feast day is celebrated on January 25, the date of his martyrdom. The Russian Orthodox Church follows the traditional Julian Calendar in determining feast day; currently, January 25 falls on February 7 of the modern Gregorian Calendar. He was the first bishop to suffer as a New Martyr under the Soviets.

Exam stress is not new. The most effective strategies for managing exam stress tend not to be new either. However try explaining that to a teenager who rolls their eyes and sighs at the pathetic lack of originality shown by their despairing parents. Finding solutions to exam stress that they have not come across a dozen times before and that are not gimmicks is not easy. That's why we like Sian Rowland's approaches which were featured as a TES Pick earlier this year. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/tackling-exam-stress-three-ways-11598979.
For example, Sian suggests that the student starts by picking the three things that are the main causes of their exam stress.This helps the student to break down their anxieties. The simple act of defining the causes can help make the overwhelming sense of anxiety become less daunting. (They may not even be able to think of 3 causes!). When they have done that, have them come up with 3 simple actions they can take right now to help tackle each source of their exam stress – you may have to help them with this. Looking at practical solutions also helps alleviate the anxiety as the student sees that they can actually do something about it. They are no longer just dwelling on a huge, indeterminate weight but taking action about specific, defined and therefore more manageable issues.

United States: Open Bar? Shot At Dismissal Of Cocktail-Themed Drinks Suit Now On The Rocks
by Angela M. Spivey , Andrew Garner Phillips , Alan F. Pryor and Katherine Wheeler Gamsey
What's in a name? A rosé made of malt beverage would smell as sweet, wouldn't it? Our Food & Beverage Team investigates a class action in Missouri that has survived a motion to dismiss and could change how ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages are labeled.
The overall appearance could deceive a reasonable consumer
The type of alcohol matters and affects how much a consumer will pay
The plaintiffs are at continual risk of future injury
With ready-to-drink (RTD) alcoholic beverages continuing to gain popularity, it appears the plaintiff's bar is ready to take its shot at RTD producers. Although many are aware of a putative class action in New York federal court challenging a national brewer's "Ritas" RTD product line, few have taken note of an identical suit in Missouri federal district court brought by the same plaintiff's firm: Browning v. Anheuser-Busch LLC, No. 4:20-cv-00889 (W.D. Mo. May 13, 2021). In a significant development for the alcohol industry, that federal court recently denied a motion to dismiss claims challenging the alcohol used in cocktail-themed malt beverages.
The plaintiffs filed a proposed class action challenging the packaging and advertising of the defendant's Ritas RTD alcoholic beverages. Relying on product names like "Margarita," "Mojito," and "Rosé," the plaintiffs claimed they thought the drinks contained distilled spirits or wine. But the beverages do not; they are actually flavored malt beverages and contain one disclaimer on the bottom of the packaging that the RTD products are "malt beverages." Full of undistilled ire, the plaintiffs brought claims for violations of Missouri's consumer protection law, fraud, breach of warranty, and unjust enrichment.
The defendant moved to dismiss the complaint, a spirited attempt the court largely denied. Focusing on the Missouri consumer protection claim, the court first held that the plaintiffs alleged with particularity that the "overall appearance" of the Ritas beverages could deceive a reasonable consumer into believing the products contained distilled spirits or wine. The plaintiffs alleged that the use of the names "Margarita," "Mojito," and "Rosé," images of cocktail and wine glasses, and an ad campaign featuring a woman in a wine cellar could mislead a reasonable consumer to believe that the drinks include tequila, rum, or wine. The district court agreed, and in doing so, rejected the defendant's argument that no reasonable consumer could be deceived because Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau regulations allow the use of cocktail names for malt beverages. It found that this regulation applies only to the extent that the beverage is not misleading.
The district court was equally unimpressed with the argument that whether the drinks contained distilled spirits or wine is not material to reasonable consumers, holding that the plaintiffs sufficiently alleged that the type of alcohol matters to consumers and affects how much consumers are willing to pay. The district court relied on similar reasoning to deny dismissal of the plaintiffs' fraud and breach of warranty claims. The district court took special note of the breach of warranty claims, concluding that the plaintiffs were not required to provide pre-suit notice and that the beverages' packaging and advertisements could plausibly constitute a promise that the beverages contained distilled spirits or wine. The district court also rejected the defendant's arguments for dismissal of the unjust enrichment claim, holding that the plaintiffs could plead the claim in the alternative and the plaintiffs' allegation that the brewer received revenue from the purchases was sufficient to allege the conferral of a benefit.
Finally, the district court rejected the arguments that the plaintiffs did not have standing for injunctive relief because there was no possible future injury, concluding that the plaintiffs are continually at risk of being deceived and thus could suffer future injury. It also concluded that the plaintiffs had standing to assert claims about products they didn't purchase because those products were similar enough to the products the plaintiffs did purchase.
The district court's ruling is a sobering reminder to producers of RTD alcoholic beverages to carefully consider how they name, package, and advertise their beverages and the type of alcohol contained in them. While the case law in this space still in its very early stages, this opinion suggests that a small "malt beverage" disclosure may not offer much protection—at least at the pleading stage—if a product's labeling and marketing arguably evoke an authentic cocktail. Perhaps more prominent disclosures about the type of alcohol contained in the products—or express disclaimers, for example, that the Margarita product "does not contain distilled spirits or wine"—would have given the district court greater pause. The broader takeaway is that technical accuracy in food and beverage labeling is not a silver-bullet defense if other elements of the packaging or marketing—the "overall appearance"—could plausibly confuse consumers.

Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, schooner trade was a well-developed system of maritime transport for commodities such as grain, lumber, and iron. The schooner trade was as critical to the development of the Great Lakes region as covered wagons were to the Far West and paddle wheel steamers were to the South.
Theodore J. Karamanski shares with the reader the stories of the men and women who sailed on the schooners, their labor issues and strikes, the role of the schooner in the maritime economy along the Lake Michigan basin, and the factors that led to the eventual demise of that economy in the early twentieth century. Karamanski has put together historical accounts from newspaper clippings, historical society archives, and government documents to provide one of the few available histories of schooners.
Schooner Passage will interest scholars and students of Great Lakes and American history as well as the general reader interested in nineteenth-century western expansion.
Theodore Karamanski is Associate Professor of History at Loyola University of Chicago.
Schooner Passage is the best work on this subject published to date. [Karamanski] does a fine job of weaving together personal recollections of Great Lakes mariners with contemporary history. Excellent original illustrations and a number of previously unpublished photographs help us to begin to understand life on the lakes. This book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who is interested in the Great Lakes.
Schooner Passage is a broad and comprehensive examination of the schooner's role on Lake Michigan throughout the nineteenth and into the early twentieth century.... [Karamanski] demonstrates a masterful command of sources using manuscripts, secondary sources, and even archaeological evidence to weave a fascinating tale of social and technological history.

Alicia Knoedler named Miami's Vice President for Research & Innovation
September 15, 2020 September 14, 2020 Research & Innovation StaffLeave a comment
Alicia Knoedler
Alicia Knoedler will become Miami University's vice president for research and innovation (VPRI) on Nov. 1.
She is the former executive associate vice president for research and executive director of the Center for Research Program Development and Enrichment at the University of Oklahoma.
Knoedler will replace Michael Crowder, associate provost and dean of the Graduate School, who is leading the Office of Research and Innovation on an interim basis.
Jason Osborne, Miami's provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, said Knoedler specializes in crafting, leading and implementing initiatives of strategic value to research across all disciplines and a diverse range of research organizations.
"Dr. Knoedler is a national leader in developing university-based research enterprises and talent. She has had substantial success in helping individuals craft career-long scholarship trajectories, has a strong record of supporting underserved disciplines like the arts and humanities, and has led efforts to diversify research leadership nationally," Osborne said. "I believe she will quickly empower our faculty, staff and students toward more competitive, successful and impactful research programs, fellowships and awards."
Prior to her positions at the University of Oklahoma, she served to develop and grow research capacity within various roles at Pennsylvania State University and the University of Notre Dame.
Knoedler wrote in her cover letter for the position that she has cultivated and leveraged nontraditional opportunities in developing her approach to research leadership. She recently served as the director of team innovation within Exaptive, Inc.
"What appeals to me about the VPRI position at Miami University are the needs for a holistic approach to strategically advance research/scholarship/creative activity, innovate in areas of research support and operations, embolden researchers at all levels to pursue research challenges of significant relevance and value across a variety of contexts and stakeholders, and assist in the production of and advocacy for collective research outcomes," she wrote.
Knoedler earned a bachelor's degree psychology from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and a master's and doctorate in cognitive psychology from Purdue University. Her research interests focus on various memory processes and optimal conditions for remembering as well as dynamic team behaviors and the contributions of team translators as catalysts within research teams.
Osborne noted that over the course of her career, Knoedler has developed a number of programs in support of the development and expansion of research, scholarship and creative activity.
She co-led Oklahoma's statewide collaborative EPSCoR Track 1 Research Infrastructure Improvement Award, funded by the National Science Foundation, which focused on the socio-ecological approaches to studying climate variability in Oklahoma.
Knoedler also served on the Oklahoma Governor's Science and Technology Council, which reports to the Oklahoma secretary for science and technology.
In service and leadership to research development at the national level, Knoedler is a founding member, former member of the board of directors and was president and immediate past-president of the National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP). She was recently named one of 13 NORDP inaugural fellows.
Knoedler has collaborated with the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities' (APLU) Council on Research to develop and lead training, professional development and leadership opportunities for senior research leaders and those aspiring to such positions.
She is a member of the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s business and operations advisory committee and vice chair of the NSF-wide committee on equal opportunities in science and engineering, drawing a connection between the NSF's commitment to broadening participation and the commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging from audiences, institutions and organizations across the nation.

Two Miami University researchers receive NSF RAPID grant to develop coronavirus-attacking materials
May 7, 2020 May 6, 2020 Research & Innovation StaffLeave a comment
Materials will help limit indirect contact transmission of COVID-19
Two Miami University researchers in protein, polymer and materials chemistry received a Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a project that will address the spread of the novel coronavirus.
They received $181,849 to develop materials that can be used to prevent indirect contact transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.
Dominik Konkolewicz and Rick Page, both associate professors of chemistry and biochemistry, are the primary and co-investigators of the project.
Reduce indirect contact transmission of COVID-19
The virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic is especially concerning for indirect contact transmission, since it can remain active on various surfaces for extended periods of time, Konkolewicz said.
If a person infected with COVID-19 deposits active viral particles (droplets or aerosols) on frequently touched surfaces, the disease can be transmitted if an uninfected person picks up the active viruses from the contaminated surface.
In this way, the disease can be spread even if the two individuals do not ever come in direct contact with each other. Since the virus can remain active on surfaces for days, there is an increased risk of indirect contact transmission.
To help limit this, Konkolewicz and Page will develop materials that can capture and inactivate the coronavirus on surfaces.
Capture and inactivate the virus
Through their work in synthetic polymer chemistry and protein chemistry, the researchers plan two complementary approaches in developing coronavirus-attacking materials:
Inactivate: One approach is to disrupt the lipid layer/lipid envelope in the coronavirus. This lipid envelope is critical to the structure of the virus and also to its infection mechanism. "If we disrupt the lipids, we can inactivate the coronavirus, such that it cannot infect a new individual," Konkolewicz said. (Handwashing with soap is one example of disrupting the lipid layer to inactivate the virus).
Capture: The other approach is to capture and trap the coronavirus spike proteins within the synthetic material. This way the virus cannot leave and provide a path for a new infection.
Combined: The researchers will also develop materials with both capture and inactivation capabilities. This two-pronged approach tethers the virus to the surface to allow for increased opportunities to attack and inactivate it, Page said.
The new materials they develop could be adapted or coated onto existing high touch surfaces to limit indirect contact transmission, Konkolewicz said. The polymers will form a tough network to ensure the material performs for an extended period of time.
Konkolewicz and Page will also develop content on the importance of polymer materials in healthcare applications. This will be distributed through YouTube channels for accessibility to the public.
About the researchers
Konkolewicz researches responsive, or "smart" polymer materials and materials that contain both synthetic and biological components. He was awarded an NSF CAREER Award for self-healing polymers in 2018. He was named a 2018 Young Investigator by the American Chemical Society-Polymer, Materials Science, and Engineering section and he received the 2018 Polymer Chemistry Emerging Investigator Award. He and his research team have multiple research collaborations with colleagues in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. He was named a Miami University Junior Faculty Scholar in 2018.
Follow Konkolewicz on Twitter @PolyKonkol.
Page researches the structure, dynamics and mechanisms of action for proteins in a range of biologic and synthetic systems. He was named a Miami University Junior Faculty Scholar in 2016. He received an NSF Career grant in 2016 for his research on protein quality control. In 2018 he received a five-year MIRA (Maximizing Investigator's Research Award) — one of Miami's first two — that supports his research projects on protein quality control and antibiotic resistance. He has multiple research collaborations with colleagues in chemistry, biochemistry and bioengineering.

NSF RAPID grants
The grant for "RAPID: Viral Particle Disrupting and Sequestering Polymer Materials applied to Coronaviruses," will support the research of Page and Konkolewicz for one year and support three graduate students.
RAPID grants give the NSF a way to help fight the pandemic by supporting scientists doing relevant work across many disciplines, according to the foundation. They may be funded for up to $200,000 and up to one year in duration, with an average award size of $89,000.
In March Congress gave NSF an extra $75 million in the CARES Act stimulus funding to spend on research projects that will help "prevent, prepare for, and respond" to the novel coronavirus.

Miami University professor Mike Crowder named interim VPRI
April 21, 2020 April 14, 2020 Research & Innovation StaffLeave a comment
Mike Crowder, professor and chair of Miami University's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has been named both Dean of the Graduate School and Interim Vice President of Research & Innovation (VPRI) by Provost Jason Osborne. Both appointments are effective July 1.
Although it had been previously announced that the positions of Dean of the Graduate School and VPRI would be separated, it became necessary to postpone the VPRI search that was underway when, on March 16, President Greg Crawford announced that most Miami personnel would begin working remotely as a measure to help mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. As the search for a new Dean of the Graduate School had been completed by this time, Provost Osborne elected to simultaneously name the Dean and Interim VPRI. The provost intends to resume the search for a permanent VPRI as conditions allow.
Osborne said Crowder's significant success with external funding, his mentorship of graduate and undergraduate students in his lab and his leadership of a large, research-active department — a role he has held since 2013 — made him a great choice to fill this role on an interim basis. With an active research program focused on metalloenzymes, antibiotic resistance, metal ion homeostasis, and inhibitor design, Crowder has been awarded more than $7 million in external grants.
Crowder will be working closely with current VPRI Jim Oris until Oris' retirement on June 30.

Miami donates protective gear to area health care facilities
Area health care workers benefited from donations of personal protective equipment (PPE) collected across Miami University's Oxford and Regionals campuses last week.
As Miami faculty and staff closed down campus laboratory facilities in preparation for Gov. Mike DeWine's (Miami '69) stay-at-home order last week, unused protective gear was collected for donation to health care workers.
Most of the items were sent to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, UC Health, the Butler County Board of Health, Mercy Health-Fairfield and the Atrium Medical Center.
Rick Page, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry, led a departmentwide collection of supplies from research labs and teaching labs. The department donated:
More than 125,000 gloves and 750 goggles to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and UC Health
The Miami University police department donated items including:
10 boxes of gloves (250 per box)
196 N95 respirators
Dennis Tobin, associate professor of art, said Miami's ceramics studio commonly uses N95 respirators as they mix their own clay and glazes from raw materials. He donated:
120 N95 respirators to Oxford's McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital/TriHealth
Mercy Health and Atrium Medical Center contacted Miami University Regionals about the availability of PPE to spare, said Cathy Bishop-Clark, Regionals dean. Laboratory coordinators collected supplies, and Perry Richardson, senior director of media and community relations, delivered a car full of items to each facility.
The Regionals also collected cleaning and sanitizing supplies (wipes, paper towels, tissues) to donate to the Hamilton police department.
Jeff Johnson, director of environmental health and safety, collected items from the animal care facility and departments across the Oxford campus, including biology, kinesiology and health, psychology and chemical, paper and biomedical engineering.
"We had about four full pickup truck loads of materials," Johnson said. He and University Fire Marshall Rick Dusha picked up the items which were then centrally stored by Robin Parker, general counsel for Miami, until they were donated.
Jim Oris, vice president for research and innovation, helped coordinate the campuswide collection of PPE. He extended his thanks to everyone involved with this effort.
"I am proud to work for a place like this. The campus is beautiful, but the people make it special," he said.
A list provided by Oris' office for additional items donated includes:
790 boxes of gloves (80,000 pairs)
3,130 surgical masks
1,100 surgical caps
782 goggles
355 shoe covers
200 surgical gowns

Ghirza è il nome moderno di un'antica città di epoca romana, nella provincia d'Africa, a sud-ovest di Leptis Magna.

La città era situata in un'area semidesertica dell'interno, sullo uadi Ghirza, a 5 km dalla sua confluenza nello uadi Zemzem, e si sviluppò a partire dalla fine del II secolo d.C., in seguito all'organizzazione del Limes Tripolitano sotto l'imperatore Settimio Severo.

La città è forse identificabile con quella di Gereisa, riportata dal geografo Claudio Tolomeo nella zona della Sirte. Nel IV secolo vi ebbe sede la maggiore guarnigione di contadini-soldati (limitanei) e i nomi riportati nelle iscrizioni sulle tombe testimoniano che gli abitanti erano di origine indigena, pur adottando lingua, nomi e costumi romani.

Vennero costruite dighe e cisterne, che consentirono lo sfruttamento agricolo, e fattorie fortificate (centenaria) che facevano parte dell'organizzazione del limes. Nella città si conservano i resti di un tempio, forse dedicato al dio libico Gurzil.

I resti meglio conservati appartengono a due necropoli, a nord e a sud, con mausolei riccamente decorati in uno stile che mescola elementi romani e indigeni (in particolare le rappresentazioni di cacce e di attività agricole). I mausolei vennero realizzati con blocchi di calcare locale.

La città venne in seguito abbandonata nel primo medioevo.

Necropoli nord

Nella necropoli settentrionale, situata a circa 500 m ad ovest del centro cittadino, si conservano i resti di sette tombe in forma di tempio, datate tra l'inizio del IV e l'inizio del V secolo d.C. La maggior parte dei rilievi sono oggi conservati presso i musei di Leptis Magna e di Tripoli.

La tomba A conserva due camere funerarie su un alto basamento circondate da un colonnato con capitelli compositi su cui poggia un architrave dorico. Sulla facciata il fregio reca un'Iscrizione latina tra due aquile, che menziona i defunti (Marchius Nasif e Marchia Mathlich) a cui l'edificio è stato dedicato dai figli (Marchius Nimira e Fydel). Sul basamento sono presenti rilievi: due busti femminili, due contadini con un bue e un leone che attacca un altro animale. La tomba è datata all'inizio del IV secolo.

La tomba B ha una camera funeraria circondata da colonne con capitelli corinzi, sormontate da archi monolitici in pietra invece che da architravi. Fu costruita nel primo quarto del IV secolo da Marchius Metusan per i suoi genitori, Flavia Thesylgum e Marchius Fydel (il quale aveva in precedenza dedicato la tomba A ai propri genitori insieme al fratello). Un rilievo sopra la falsa porta mostra un capo tribù su un carro che riceve doni, mentre altri rilievi raffigurano scene di caccia.

La tomba C, simile alla B, fu edificata da Marchius Nimmire e Maccurasan per i propri genitori, Marchius Chullam e Varnychsin ed è datato probabilmente al secondo quarto del IV secolo. Si conservano i rilievi del fregio sopra gli archi sul lato ovest (un uomo che suona un'arpa, uno che reca un'anfora e un altro che sta cibando dei dromedari) e sul lato sud (un uomo che sta annaffiando i campi, muli, palme e scene di caccia).

Le tombe D-G sono meno conservate ad eccezione di alcuni rilievi che permettono una possibile datazione nel V secolo.

Necropoli sud

Nella necropoli meridionale, situata a circa 2 km ad ovest dal centro cittadino si conservano i resti di tombe a forma di obelisco, a tre piani, secondo la tradizione fenicio-punica. Le tombe sono prive di iscrizioni e sono state attribuite ad un secondo clan della città. La decorazione con pilastri angolari dell'alto basamento riprende gli ordini classici, mentre i rilievi hanno temi e stile indigeno.

Le due tombe meglio conservate sono la tomba A e il secondo piano di un altro mausoleo (tomba NN), che costituisce il secondo piano ricostruito di uno degli altri mausolei. Altri resti (rilievi e parti di edificio) sono conservati nel Museo di Tripoli.

The rental units in this postmodern apartment complex on Roosevelt Island were in need of some interior upgrades to continue to compete with fierce rental competition nearby. We started with a model apartment to show prospective renters the updated interiors. For a dramatic transformation throughout the unit, existing oak parquet flooring is sanded and refinished with a white pickling stain. Door trim & hardware is also replaced in contrasting grey and black to break away of a more typical white with brushed metal rental apartment standard. The footprint of the kitchen was slightly expanded and opened up to the adjacent living room by removing overhead cabinets and a small wall that previously divided the spaces. New cabinet space is found in a floor to ceiling pantry that also houses the microwave and dishwasher out of view from the living room. Other major appliances such as the refrigerator and range were selected in new sleek white finishes that minimize contrast next to the custom mill-work. A custom island raised off the floor on legs appears more as a floating piece of furniture which further accommodates the new fluid spatial connection between the living room and kitchen. In the bathroom a custom vanity echoes the design of the kitchen mill-work and provides similar visual lightness in small space. The floors and walls of the bathroom feature white marble tile with contrasting grey marble trim. New plumbing fixtures in timeless and practical forms with a polished chrome finish adorn the bathroom sink and shower. The new trim, fixtures & finishes, combined with minimal but effective spatial changes to the kitchen and living spaces, demonstrate how this postmodern rental unit can rise to the level of newer neighboring rental and even condo developments.

John McCain Funeral Transcript Leaked
by David Swanson
Joe Biden:
Today Senator John McCain is being buried together with the young woman who leaked the transcript of these funeral proceedings. John would have been honored to know that he was posthumously connected to such swift and cost-saving justice in protection of our national security — which I think should more than compensate for his being buried together with someone he would have referred to as lowlife scum. Can I get a Praise Jesus?
John McCain and I worked together with many of you and I believe every single media outlet that has been permitted into this holy cathedral today to launch and prolong a war in which we did so much damage to the world in so many ways, that my own son was killed by our open burning of all kinds of toxic waste, and I've barely even registered that fact. Hell, it'll be years before it occurs to me that a lot of Iraqi people probably died too. I'm sorry, I shouldn't use that word in a church. I mean Iraqi lowlife scum.
John was my friend and a genuine humanitarian. I'll tell you a story. [Shouts of "Noooo! Nooooo!"] A short one. It's a short one. I once showed John my plan to cut Iraq up into three different countries. And I could tell that John thought it was the worst idea since the United Nations, but — and this tells you how much he cared about humanity — he told me he'd back my nutty scheme because he was my friend. The world has lost a true statesman, who certainly would have made a better president than some, er, some, I mean, sometimes I say too much. Please welcome our next speaker.
George W. Bush:
John McCain was a serious public servant and a jokester. I've never told this story before. Remember that slideshow I made where I was hunting under my desk for weapons of mass destruction? I couldn't keep a straight face, because — even though you couldn't see it, John was hiding under the desk holding up my Saddam Hussein voodoo doll, making it dance around and sing. I think it was singing John's favorite Beach Boys song. You know the one, Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb . . . Wow, did John love bombs. You know Ronald Reagan banned the Beach Boys from the Fourth of July in Washington, but John was never a partisan or an idea tree, I mean idea log. He crossed party wires. You know he himself bombed thousands of Vietgooks before being taken hostage and held for ransom by the terrorists. I think about that sometimes when I'm painting myself in the bathtub, and I remember how many times John and I pretended to ban torture, even though it was already a crime, when actually we were creating loopholes for the CIA to do the tough job that it's tough to put food on your family. It's . . . no . . . no, Dick, I have not turned the earpiece off I'm just not listening to your fat . . . uh, somebody else is up now.
Barack Obama:
My fellow Americans, John McCain is less appreciated by non-Americans, and that tells you how far we have left still to go in bringing the world up to a better understanding. Let me be clear, John was willing to do what needed to be done, even if it made him enemies. He embraced terrorists, jihadists, and Nazis as needed to destabilize the world and fuel anti-American hostility, or failing that, sell, well, so many weapons you wouldn't believe it. One time I promised Senator McCain that we would heavily bomb Syria, and then I backed off. And how did John react? Did he threaten to rip off my head and defecate down my throat? Well, yes, yes he did. But he didn't actually do it. Because John was a true American, and that's not who we are. And that's a key lesson I learned from John over the years: almost nothing we regularly do is who we are. And I stand here before you today for everything I never did. Miss me yet?
Oleh Tyahnybok:
Senator McCain cannot be replaced but he will need to be. With some people you just have to say the word Nazi and they'll abandon the cause of freedom. The current U.S. president follows John McCain's legacy in working beyond that unfair taboo. [Loud Boos!] Oh shut up. You will not replace us! And what's with sticking me up here between a Muslim and a Jew, is this a joke? I was his friend! I was . . . [scuffle].
Charles Schumer:
I'll be brief. I believe that we should rename this cathedral for Senator John McCain, and I believe that when we visit here we should pray to him. I believe — What the?
Donald Trump:
Step aside. Loser. Am I right? You people don't love John McCain for all the bad bad ideas these losers are praising him for. You love him because he had a little spat with me, just like the Fake News. Right? I'm the only one, the only one who can make you love John McCain. You should be thanking me. That's right. Where are you going? Throw those people out who are leaving! I'll pay your legal fees! Do it!

Sustainability at Swedish Match
At Swedish Match, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that ethical business practices are maintained within our own company and in our relationships with all outside parties.
Swedish Match is committed to sound business ethics in all our business activities and relations with stakeholders, both within our own operations and when interacting with third parties. We build relationships through honesty and integrity. We are committed to comply with all laws and regulations, and where we deem appropriate, to maintain a higher standard than required, in the countries in which we operate. We believe that business relationships, when built on common values, mutual respect and trust, are important to our long term success.
The scope of this focus area is our own operations as well as our relationships with third parties; suppliers, distributors, retail customers, and consumers.
Ethical business practice fully embraced and integrated into our corporate culture.
Zero level of incidents rooted in non-ethical business behavior.
Responsible marketing with 100 percent compliance with our policy to exclusively market to adult consumers.
Our Code of Conduct represents the commitment of Swedish Match and of all its employees to conduct business activities in a responsible manner, consistent with applicable laws and regulations. It applies to all employees within the Swedish Match Group, regardless of location or role.
As part of our activities to help ensure awareness of the Code of Conduct and to find out whether our employees have reviewed or been informed about the Code of Conduct, we conduct periodic employee surveys. Mandatory training on the Code of Conduct is done through e-learning to supplement town hall meetings and similar events. Employees without e-mail accounts, hourly employees and consultants receive training related to the Code of Conduct in group sessions. All employees are to participate in the training on an ongoing basis. Matters addressed in the Code of Conduct are continuously communicated to employees through, for example, the Company's Intranet.
Business Ethics Council and Procurement Council
The Business Ethics Council and Procurement Council target enhancement within general business ethics matters and assurance of adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct. With the responsibility of the sustainability area decentralized to the Company's divisions, the councils are designated to assist in the coordination of activities and best practice sharing.
Corruption and bribery
At Swedish Match we have zero tolerance towards corruption and bribery. Swedish Match shall not participate in, or through third parties, endorse any corrupt practices. This is clearly stated in the Code of Conduct. Raising awareness and knowledge in these areas within our organization is of high importance and relevant employees are required to complete a specific e-learning on the subject. The e-learning is also open to anyone else within the organization.
It is our belief that healthy competition contributes to increased business opportunities, improvement of economic performance and the reduction of cost for products and services. Competition between competitors shall be conducted in a fair manner and in compliance with competition laws. Our legal departments support the divisions on compliance with the relevant legislation when entering into agreements with our counterparties and performing market activities.
All employees within sales and marketing as well as management teams throughout the Group are continuously trained within fair competition. E-learning programs and tailor-made compliance manuals are also used to educate personnel within this area and will continue to be used targeting employees within e.g. sales and marketing, procurement as well as research and development.
Money laundering is prohibited by Swedish Match in line with the anti-money laundering laws of various countries. Money laundering is a global problem with potentially very serious consequences. Swedish Match remains vigilant to this concern in our business relations and acts diligently to prevent our products from being used for money laundering. E-learning on anti-money laundering is required for relevant employees within the organization.
Raising concerns and the whistleblower function
To further secure sound business ethics within the organization, we encourage all employees to speak up if they become aware of behavior that is not in line with the Code of Conduct. When raising a concern, employees can always contact their managers, their manger's immediate manager, division heads, or the HR or legal departments. Swedish Match also has a whistleblower function that provides employees with the opportunity to report suspicion of non-compliance with the Code of Conduct to the Chairman of the Audit Committee when applicable. All raised concerns are treated seriously and investigated. Appropriate actions are taken in cases of misconduct. All expectations raised and actions are reported to the Audit Committee. External auditors are also present at the time of these reports.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct reflects Swedish Match's Code of Conduct and specifies what we expect and require from our suppliers in terms of employment and labor practices, workplace practices, ethical business practices and environmental management practices. Requirements are based on and comply with international conventions and guidelines1). The Supplier Code of Conduct forms the basis for our relationship with suppliers and is an integral part of most of our significant business agreements.
Swedish Match strives to work with suppliers who have a healthy long term financial position and chooses suppliers who also support Swedish Match's requirements regarding ethical business practices and other sustainability aspects.
We are in frequent and recurring dialogue with our suppliers on our fundamental values. Activities include communication of requirements in the Supplier Code of Conduct, follow-up on adherence through supplier assessments and audits as well as further dialogue on priority issues to ensure continued improvement. The overall aim is to proactively increase our further dialogue with suppliers on topics with regard to sustainability.
1) The international conventions and guidelines referred to here are the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the ILO Conventions (No's. 001, 014, 029, 030, 087, 098, 100, 105, 106, 111, 138 and 182), and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Corporations.
"Adult only Tobacco and Nicotine" policy
For tobacco and nicotine containing products, Swedish Match has an "Adult only policy" which firmly states that all such products shall only be marketed and sold to adults of legal tobacco age in each market. If the legal tobacco age in any market is below 18, Swedish Match shall still adhere to a policy of 18 years of age or over. This means that we shall not direct any marketing, advertising or promotion of tobacco and other nicotine containing products to persons under the age of 18 or the legal tobacco age if it is higher. We are committed to educating, informing and cooperating with retailers, distributors and public officials to prevent the underage use of tobacco and other nicotine containing products. Where it is legal, we may sell and market our products online and use face to face marketing and sampling, but only to age verified adults.
Source: Swedish Match Code of Conduct
Responsible marketing
Swedish Match is committed to marketing our products responsibly, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or high ethical standards if no such regulation is in place. For tobacco and nicotine containing products, we have an "Adult only policy" which means that we shall not direct any marketing of tobacco and other nicotine containing products to persons under the age of 18 (or the legal tobacco age in those areas where the legal age is over 18).
In relation to the innovative and emerging category tobacco-free nicotine pouches, which unlike e.g. tobacco products can fall outside the scope of sector specific legislation, Swedish Match is supporting and complying with initiatives for transparent and responsible self-regulation within the scope of industry agreements. We also provide clear information to the consumers about the health effects of our nicotine products and that the products are only intended for adults.
We have in place, and continuously improve, internal routines and processes in order to ensure legally compliant and responsible marketing. Our marketing material in general, and that relating to our tobacco and nicotine containing products in particular, is subject to strict internal approval procedures. Training of our employees and close cooperation between different internal functions are key elements. To implement our standards and to prevent the underage use of nicotine containing products, we are also committed to educating, informing and cooperating with retailers, distributors and public officials.
Tailored-made training sessions in the working-at-home environment featuring several important topics included in the Code of Conduct.
Launch of Distributor Code of Conduct, applicable in markets identified as higher risk areas from a business ethics perspective.
The Code of Conduct was updated with clarifying language and additional examples of the Company's values and ethical standards.
The Company policy framework was revised and updated to reflect current requirements on compliance throughout the Group.
Swedish Match terminated an agreement with one of its suppliers due to findings of non-compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct.
To further ensure that our ethical business practice is fully embraced in our operations, as of October 2020 all consultants on contracts with a duration of more than three months are required to complete the training on the Code of Conduct and other relevant e-learning. This expanded coverage resulted in the share of employees that had completed the training being flat at 97 percent in 2020. Reaching 100 percent will continue to be a high priority during 2021.
Eight Code of Conduct concerns have been raised and evaluated in 2020. Some of these issues required actions and that new routines be put in place, while others were found unsubstantiated and required no further actions.
Continued efforts have been made to raise awareness among relevant employees on critical topics which for instance increased participation in the trainings compared to 2019. In the past four years, Swedish Match did not incur any fines or settlements related to anti-competitive practices nor was involved in any ongoing investigations. Regarding corruption and bribery, the Company is currently not involved in any ongoing cases and has not had any confirmed cases in the past four years.
In 2020, Swedish Match has ensured that all of the Company's significant suppliers of direct material have committed to the principles of Swedish Match Supplier Code of Conduct. All suppliers of raw tobacco are included and each is viewed as an individual supplier per country. The suppliers have either signed our Supplier Code of Conduct or have their own Codes of Conduct and mechanisms which are broadly similar to our Supplier Code of Conduct.

We are accustomed to taking household furnishings for granted, seeing them as comfortable—and comforting. Shi Jinsong reinvents them as dangerous, threatening: lethal weapons lurking in every room. Design 2007—Instruments of Torture (2007) is an entertainment unit transformed into a multi-purpose guillotine, with a blade in the TV screen, finger-sized holes on the console, and larger holes in the speakers for a neck, arm or leg. Baby Stroller—Sickle Edition (2007) is part of the artist's mock Na Zha line of baby products, named for a mythical imp whom Shi Jinsong describes as "a human made of weapons". Designed to resemble a cut-up artillery shell, it is adorned with vicious-looking spikes and razor-sharp blades. The artist got the idea for the collection after his daughter was born in 1999. All parents want to prepare their children for success in the adult world, he thought. Given the violence, egotism and greed of contemporary society, the ideal baby walker would have to combine armour plating, lethal weaponry, and designer chic.


The semester is now well underway and with it a number of ILT's workshops, seminars, and events. However, things are only just getting started! As we hurtle towards the mid-semester break, now is a great time to highlight some of the professional development events ILT will be hosting soon and throughout 2017.
O-Week is a busy, fun time for most first year students and those in the Business School are no exception. However, some students made time to attend a series of four Maths Essentials Workshops, part of a new initiative that I'm running. The workshops are part of the academic skills development offered to students by the Business School's Innovative Learning and Teaching team, in conjunction with Economics, Statistics and Accounting, and Finance.

Charleston Police Shooting
Leave a Comment / Short Rants / By Tom O'Connell / April 9, 2015 April 9, 2015
Regarding the Charleston police shooting: "The Fleeing Felon Rule" – a lot depends on what went on before the shots were fired, which is not on tape. Now it is revealed that there was a passenger in the car. This may not turn out to be a slam dunk case.
"Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable."
Fleeing Felons and Deadly Force
Tom O'Connell
Thomas M. O'Connell is the former Senior Litigation Counsel and Chief of the Narcotics and Violent Crimes Section of the United States Attorney's Office in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to his 13 years in the Las Vegas U.S. Attorneys Office, he served for 8 years in the Northern District of California. Tom retired in 2013 and relocated back to Las Vegas. Since then, he has helped trained Las Vegas Metro, North Las Vegas and Henderson police, and U.S. Probation. He's addressed inmates at High Desert State Prison and guest lectured at both UNLV and Boyd School of Law.


But where, exactly, is the heart of the home? What corridor pumps life into this beloved sanctuary? In which room do delicious feasts originate, ready to spread joy and life to eager smiles? Where do friends and loved ones gather for cherished moments of laughter and great meals? Home is a place where everyone is family, where love lurks in every crevice. The special place where the days start and end with nourishing meals for hungry souls. The heart of the home is surely the kitchen.
With each new year, dedicated designers strive to bring art and genius together for an innovative display of the latest design trends. Whether it be color, lighting, or storage, each year brings the opportunity to invigorate and improve the design world. We are excited to show you what the kitchen's got cooking for 2018.
The dance between black and white continues to be a staple in kitchen trends. The bold contrast between the two shades brings both harmony and balance. The two pallets have always been a classic match, and their blended shades continue to thrive as a popular kitchen trend. The wide ranges of grays, updated up with subtle undertones of color, are part of Farrow & Ball's "new neutrals" collection. Beautifully coordinated palettes, act as backdrops for contrasting punches of color. As gray evolves into the world of innovation, color trends may have a new king this year.
Clutter undoubtedly slows us down. It is hard to function efficiently when the gears in your life are clogged. An environment plagued by clutter has been linked to depression, anxiety, and even memory loss! Having a kitchen with inefficient storage or space usage will surely end in a messy nightmare.
No matter the size of the family, or the size of the kitchen, storage is a concern in every kitchen. That's why it is no surprise that innovative, sleek, and storage efficient multi-tiered drawers continue as a growing kitchen trend. These beautifully crafted designs don't just capture the eyes, they capture the clutter.
Clutter does not just come in the form of stuff, but it also walks as general structures (i.e. too many people in your work zone!) Creative space planning has always been the key to improving flow and function, and will always be in style.
One current kitchen trend that we especially love designing is the mixture of different materials for cabinets, countertops, and metals. A sparkling quartz slab brushing up against a textured oak will warm up any kitchen and offers practicality and a touch of bling. Hints of brass cabinetry hardware compliment the clean aesthetics of stainless appliances. The balance of elements makes for inviting partnerships for a unique and personalized result. The more the merrier.
Contrast is everything, and when correlated to light, a story begins to unfold. Abstract shapes that lay stamped on the floor begin to swirl and hypnotize with astonishment, as contemporary wood grain melts from a solid black marble. Traditional methods of brickwork splice majestically with modernism when introduced with a new pattern. As all are absorbed and reflected off the calming white hues that surround the scene, this kitchen trend could be on Broadway!
As passionate designers, our eyes brim with excitement each year with the coming of new kitchen trends. The innovations in technology and artistic vision are gems that we hold close to our hearts, and such things fuel our dedication to achieve exquisite form and innovative function in each and every custom cabinet.
The kitchen is the home of the heart, so let us cherish it like our own.

Q: JS code for autocomplete while box checked We need to enable auto-complete on this form.  Whenever the checkbox is checked, the code should automatically copy the values from Shipping Name and Shipping Zip into the Billing Name and Billing Zip. If the checkbox is unchecked, the Billing Name and Billing Zip should go blank.

HTML Code

  <form>
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Shipping Information</legend>
        Name:
        <input type = "text" name = "shipName" id = "shippingName"         required>

        Zip code:
        <input type = "text" name = "shipZip" id = "shippingZip" pattern = "[0-9]{5}" required>

    </fieldset>
    <input type="checkbox" id="same" name="same" onchange= "billingFunction()"/>
    Is the Billing Information the Same?

    <fieldset>
        <legend>Billing Information</legend>
        Name:
        <input type = "text" name = "billName" id = "billingName" required>

        Zip code:
        <input type = "text" name = "billZip" id = "billingZip" pattern =       "[0-9]{5}" required>

    </fieldset>
        <input type = "submit" value = "Verify"/>
   </form>

JS Code

function billingFunction(){
 var bn, bz, sn, sz;
 if (document.getElementById('same').checked){
   bn = document.getElementById('billingName').text;
   sn = document.getElementById('shippingName').text;
   bz = document.getElementById('billingZip').text;
   sz = document.getElementById('shippingZip').text;
   bn = sn;
   bz = sz;
   }
 }

A: This should work:
function billingFunction(){
 var bn, bz, sn, sz;
 bn = document.getElementById('billingName');
 bz = document.getElementById('billingZip');
 if (document.getElementById('same').checked){
   sn = document.getElementById('shippingName').value;
   sz = document.getElementById('shippingZip').value;
   bn.value = sn;
   bz.value = sz;
 } else {
   bn.value = '';
   bz.value = '';
 }
}

A: If you can use jquery you can simplify the function like this.
$('#same').change(function(){
 var name, zip;
 if ($('#same').prop('checked')){
   name = $('#shippingName').val();
   zip = $('#shippingZip').val();
 }
 $('#billingName').val(name);
 $('#billingZip').val(zip);
});

Vegetable Juice vs Green Powder: Which is better for you?
We all know dark, leafy green vegetables are good for us. Every day, studies and articles tout the nutritional benefits of consuming foods like kale, spinach and broccoli, which are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium, and low in carbohydrates, sodium and cholesterol. In other words, we understand why they're called superfoods.
Nutraceuticals vs Supplements and "Functional Foods" – What's the Difference Anyways?
Can you tell the difference between a functional food, a dietary supplement and a nutraceutical? Most people are aware that what they eat affects their vitality and lifespan, but have no idea where the line between food and drugs really lies. As we've discovered, the definition of nutraceuticals vs supplements and functional foods overlap quite a bit, but each retains its own niche in the modern food industry.
Changing the modern food production system can feel like a Herculean feat from the outset, but, as author and investigative journalist Michael Pollan says, we can do it every time we eat.


This is a beautiful window showing Jesus walking on the water. His Disciples were in a boat on the sea of Galilee when a storm came up and they were afraid. Jesus came totem walking on the water and said unto them "It is I; be not afraid".
To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of Frederic Ernest Wade, November 21, 1881 - August 29, 1949, and Helen Wade Wightman, August 11, 1921 - October 14, 1942.
Paul wrote "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity". When our Bible was translated in 1611, the word "charity" had the meaning we now give to the word "love"
The woman in this window is expressing love in its simplest terms, the act of nourishing her family or friends.

Bolt pc game free download
The attack on the central headquarters of the PDF referred to as La Comandancia touched off several fires, one of which destroyed most of the adjoining and heavily populated El Chorrillo neighborhood in downtown Panama City.
However, Penny and Bolt survive and discover Calico's new arctic base with a large rocket in the center. But upon entering, Penny notices micro-focusing mirrors and realizes that it is her father's satellite instead of a warhead. All too late as Calico seals the entrance and, to Bolt's horror, launches it with Penny inside screaming for help. Bolt then jumps onto the rocket and dismantles it in mid-flight, crashing it into the snow. They sank Noriega's boat and destroyed his jet, at a cost of four killed and nine wounded.
Military operations continued for several weeks, mainly against military units of the Panamanian army. The U. The two then ventured to Calico's harbor in China, they find it out through a computer system where they discover a ship full of warheads. Just then, Calico arrives at the harbor, enraged to find Penny still alive, and even more so as he watches his prized freight ship sink to the bottom, thanks to Bolt, who then pursues Calico, escaping in his car to a nearby train station. He arrives at the station and boards his train, closely followed by Penny and her dog.
Just as the duo finally corners the doctor, he slips into a hidden room and escaped on his private jet. Not before Penny secures a homing beacon onto the hull, leading them right back to Calico's base. The report of the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff maintains that the music was used principally to prevent parabolic microphones from being used to eavesdrop on negotiations, and not as a psychological weapon based around Noriega's supposed loathing of rock music.
Noriega finally surrendered to the U. Bolt for PC. Penny and Bolt trace his jet back to his main base, where Penny's father is being held. However, upon arriving, Calico tests his new weapon on Bolt, draining him of his powers and strength and capturing Penny, due to her emotions getting in the way of the mission.
Once Penny is inside, he explains his plan to use Penny's father's micro focusing mirror-equipped satellites to bounce a beam around the Earth and neutralize all atomic weaponry except for his own, meaning he can nuke anyone, when he wants, how he wants. And as he leaves, he violently kicks Bolt's cage proving Penny of her limited knowledge.
However, during this, Penny maneuvers her way out of her hand bindings. While some U. Marine units continued their deployment, others that had been deployed since 3 October , began returning on 12 January Along with units of the rd Infantry Brigade, th Airborne Infantry, and 59th Engineer Company Sapper 16th Military Police Brigade, these units continued «police» patrols throughout Panama City and areas west of the canal to restore law and order and support the newly installed government under the moniker «Operation Promote Liberty».
Another was Kilo Co. Once free, she attempts to find her father to save Bolt. Unfortunately, she is only captured by Calico once again, just as Bolt regains his powers and Penny sabotages the control panel, however, raising the bridge so Bolt could reach her. Once he does, Penny escapes from her guard captors yet again and launched a pre-prepared, rocket powered cart at the main power generator which Bolt exposed. Then, using what power remains in the generator, Calico duels with Bolt, using powerful lightning bursts.

Q: How can a thread attempt to call the wait() method in a monitor it doesnt own the lock of (thus throwing IllegalMonitorStateException) To my understanding, the thread needs to own the lock to even enter the synchronized block with the wait() call. How is it possible that it does so without owning the lock?
public synchronized void daten_ablegen(Client c) throws InterruptedException {
        System.out.println("Client " + c.ID + " will Daten ablegen");

        while (sicherungswunsch || (anzahlClients >= maxClients)) {
            System.out.println(c.ID + " sleeps.");
            c.wait();
        }

        anzahlClients++;

        System.out.println(anzahlClients + " Clients legen Daten ab.");
    }

The above code throws IllegalMonitorStateException when more than one thread tries to call daten_ablegen(). However I would expect a thread to either not enter the method or enter it WITH the lock acquired and then successfully go to sleep.
(I can post the entire project that is my homework, I just dont want to add unecessary stuff)

A: As @Gardener pointed out in the comments, calling wait() on the client doesn't work in this case, since the lock the thread would hold in that moment belongs to the Server object (the class the above code is in), not the client. That explains why the IllegalMonitorStateException is thrown.

Google Play Store Download Google Play Store on Huawei Phones via VMOS PRO
Download Google Play Store on Huawei Phones via VMOS PRO
A new method to install GMS and Google Play Store on Huawei Phones is now available. Using the VMOS PRO, you can get Google Play on any Huawei handset.
The only way to install Google apps on Huawei Smartphones was by visiting different .apk solution websites. These methods are now slowly fading away.
Fortunately, there is another way to make Google apps work on Huawei Smartphones and it's as easy as clicking a few buttons. All you have to do is just install a free app called VMOS Pro and you're done, you can now access the Google Play Store and install any Android app from there. Of course, installing Android apps from the Google Play store will require you to sign in with your Gmail account.

Huawei – How it became the leading smartphone maker
Formed in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, a former engineer in the People's Liberation Army, Huawei is said to have over 170,000 employees.
The company is now one of the largest in the world when it comes to the manufacturing of telecommunications equipment.
When the company was first founded, it was focused on manufacturing phone switches but over the years has expanded to include building telecommunications networks, providing operational and consulting services and equipment to China, and also manufacturing mobile devices for the consumer market.
Pronounced "hwah-way," it's a multinational Chinese technology titan that's the world leader in equipment for wireless telecommunication networks and the No. 2 seller of smartphones globally (behind Samsung).
Huawei also makes switches, routers and fiber-optic and undersea cables that help make up the worldwide internet. Oh, and it's in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, semiconductors and software. It's as if you rolled Apple, AT&T, Amazon Web Services, plus a bit of Google and Microsoft, into one.
We're talking more than 180,000 employees in more than 170 countries, and revenue of more than $100 billion a year (about the same as Boeing). But really, there's no good U.S. comparison.
Huawei's technology is an important part of the next-generation wireless technology 5G currently in development. Which is one reason it keeps popping up in the news.
Huawei's entry into the mobile phone market in Europe came in the shape of the the Honor phone in 2014.
The US Ban on Huawei – The end of everything Google for Huawei
As a result of a ban on trading with the US, Huawei can't preload new release phones with Google apps like Maps and YouTube, the Google Play Store or Google Assistant.
Pre-May 2019 Huawei and Honor phones will continue to get security updates and current devices that due to get Android 10 will still get it. Huawei laptops will get all the Windows updates in the traditional manner.
But newly released Huawei phones can't use Google services and this is set to be a long-term issue. Note this doesn't apply to any P30 Series handsets including the P30 Pro New Edition (May 2020) which is, essentially, an upgraded P30 Pro rather than a new phone.
About the Google Play Services
Google Play Services are also called GMS or Google Framework. These services are responsible for running all the Google Applications on your phone. Be it the Play Store, Gmail, Google Calendar, or any other Google App, you will always need the Google Mobile Services on your phone first. If you somehow get the GMS running on your phone, you can eventually install all the Google Apps too. There have been numerous GMS solutions for the Huawei phones including the GMSanzhuangqi APK that we posted earlier on our website. However, with time, all these solutions come to end as Google tightens the restrictions put on the Huawei phones. A new solution called the VMOS PRO has emerged now. And with the help of VMOS Pro, we can once again enjoy the Google Play Store on Huawei smartphones.
VMOS PRO
VMOS stands for virtual machine operating system. It basically runs a virtual Android on your Android phone. Consider it running a virtual version of MacOS or Windows on your PC. When you will run VMOS PRO on your Huawei phone, it will launch another Android instance, and inside that instance, the Google Play Store and Services will work fine which will ultimately let you run all GMS related apps on your Huawei phone. The method to install VMOS PRO is like installing any other application. The method is going to be manual. Follow the easy instructions given below to install VMOS PRO on your Huawei Phone and get the Google Play Store up and running once again.
How to Install Google Play Store on Huawei Phones – VMOS PRO method
Download and Install VMOS Pro on your Huawei smartphone device, it will be an Apk suite – You can find VMOS Pro here.
Open the file in your downloads (on the Huawei phone) and allow your browser to download from an external source.
After the installation is complete Confirm and Enter VMOS Pro.
Authorize ALL the options and turn on Draw over other apps.
ALLOW >> ALLOW ONLY WHILE IN USE >>Experience the google.
Wait until the ROM VMOS PRO Install and booted.
Click on the play Store and Sign in with your Gmail account.
Now you can install any apps from the Play Store on your newest Huawei smartphone including the Huawei P40 and Mate 40 series.
Since the US Ban on Huawei smartphones, all the latest Huawei smartphones do not have Google apps pre-installed on them. There have been various methods until now to download and use the PlayStore suite. These methods have worked for some time. Now, this method is being floated (VMOS Pro app) and looks to be working fine on the new smartphones.
