I saw a few loose pages in an Etsy shop (called Sensorium, click here for more) of this amazing Gershwin Song Book (which is cool enough) illustrated by the legendary Milton Glaser (which is amazing!) published in 1960 and had to find out more.
I searched out an inexpensive & complete song book, in beautiful condition at Abe Books and eeeeeeeeeeeee….it's really lovely. Below are a just few more images from the song book. Yet, there are many more throughout the song book. Yum.

I love the Gershwins! That reminds me, I need to finish framing the sheet music I got at a rummage sale at which I used to volunteer staff. They are great sources for old records too.
Man, I wish my work was as good as Glaser's! The more familiar I become with his work, the more I see that he was not only an influence on me as a kid without me knowing who he was, but a hue influence on my more direct influences, even today.
And agreed, the Gershwin's can't be beat. Tip top stuff all around and a great pairing of musical & visual talents.
Thank you for introducing me to Glaser's work.
It just gave me a burst of inspiration.
I look forward to discovering more.

Q: Remove class from all div elements I have a group of topics. I'm trying to loop through them and add the class "glow" to them one at a time depending on the seconds I specify. When one element gets glow, the previous element should no longer glow.

Introduction and Overview

Topic 6

Topic 8

Elements

Conclusion

This is how I'm defining the seconds intervals for them to glow. So when one glows, the rest should no longer glow.
$.glowElements([
    {target: "#fade1", seconds: 4},
    {target: "#fade2", seconds: 9},
    {target: "#fade3", seconds: 20},
    {target: "#fade4", seconds: 22},
    {target: "#fade5", seconds: 23},
    {target: "#fade5", seconds: 24}
]);

And my code that processes the glow:
$.glowElements = function(list){
    if(!USE_AUDIO){ return; }

    $(list).each(function(index, element){
        // remove all glows first
        $(".row > div").removeClass("glow");

        timers.push(setTimeout(function(){
            $(element.target).addClass("glow");
        },element.seconds * 1000));
    });
}

My $(".row > div").removeClass("glow"); is not working? Any ideas?

A: Easy way
$(".glow").removeClass("glow");

and then add
$(element.target).addClass("glow");

Effect of gene-targeted mutation in TNF receptor (p55) on contact hypersensitivity and ultraviolet B-induced immunosuppression.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine. TNF-alpha has been implicated in the pathogenesis of delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions such as allergic contact hypersensitivity and has been suggested as a mediator of ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced immunosuppression. Conflicting reports, however, exist concerning the effects of TNF-alpha on contact hypersensitivity (CHS). To determine the role of TNF-alpha in the generation and regulation of CHS, gene-targeted mutant mice lacking TNF-receptor (p55) gene (TNF-R1(-) mice) were treated with dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) to induce CHS. TNF-R1(-) mice showed significant hyperresponsiveness in CHS (152.8 +/- 20.9%, p < 0.025) compared with normal syngeneic mice (C57BL/6) assessed by ear swelling. To determine whether UVB can induce suppression in TNF-R1(-) mice, mice were irradiated on the shaved abdomen with 96 mj/cm2 UVB and 3 days later they were painted with 0.5% DNFB (sensitization dose), followed 5 days later with 0.2% DNFB to the left ear (challenge dose). Significant suppression of CHS was observed both locally (sensitization on irradiated site) and systemically (sensitization on unirradiated site) in UVB-irradiated TNF-R1(-) mice as well as in normal mice. To rule out possible signaling through p75 TNF-R, the mice were treated with anti-TNF-alpha Ab (V1q), which can neutralize any TNF effects through either receptor. V1q had no effect on these phenomena observed in TNF-R1(-) mice. These results suggest that TNF-alpha plays a regulatory role in CHS but is not required to induce UVB-mediated immunosuppression.

Afghanistan By TOLOnews.com - Edited:
Afghanistan Celebrates Independence Day
Today, Sunday, August 19, thousands of Afghans around the country will celebrate the 99th anniversary of Independence Day.
Official ceremonies will take place in various parts of the country and thousands of families and friends will spend the day together to mark the event.
In addition, a new flag, the biggest in the country, will be hoisted on Wazir Akbar Khan hill in Kabul.
Over the past few days, banners and flags have been erected throughout the city while in Jalalabad the town's center was draped in neon lights – which brought cheer to thousands of residents in the war-weary city.
Security is however expected to be tight in cities, particularly in Kabul – where the official ceremony will be held.
This national holiday honors Shah Amanullah Khan's defeat of the British Empire in 1919 and the founding of the nation.
In the lead up to Independence Day, dozens of flag sellers have been walking the streets of Kabul and other cities, selling their wares.
Although Afghanistan was never part of the British Empire, it gained its independence from Britain after the signing of the Anglo-Afghan Treaty in 1919 – a treaty that granted complete neutral relations between Afghanistan and Britain.
And although not having been part of the British Empire, Britain fought three wars in the country.
The first Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842) led to the defeat of the entire British-led Indian invaders by Afghan forces under Abdur Akbar Khan. The second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880) first saw the British defeated in the Battle of Kandahar only for them to emerge victors – which led to Abdur Rahman Khan becoming the new emir.
This ushered in a new era of friendly British-Afghan relations. Following this war, the British were given control of Afghanistan's foreign affairs in exchange for protection against the Russians and Persians.
In 1901 Abdur Rahman Khan's son, Habibullah, succeeded him.
Habibullah was a relatively reform-minded ruler who attempted to modernize his country. During his reign he worked to bring modern medicine and other technology to Afghanistan and worked to put in place progressive reforms in his country.
He was assassinated while on a hunting trip in Laghman Province on February 20, 1919. His brother Nasrullah Khan briefly succeeded him as emir and held power for a week before being ousted and imprisoned by Amanullah Khan, Habibullah's third son.
However, the third Anglo-Afghan War started the same year and resulted in the British giving up control of Afghanistan's foreign affairs in 1921.
Within a few months, the new emir had gained the allegiance of most tribal leaders and established control over the cities.
Amanullah's ten years of reign initiated a period of dramatic change in Afghanistan in both foreign and domestic politics. Starting in May 1919 when he won complete independence in the month-long Third Anglo-Afghan War with Britain, Amanullah altered foreign policy in his new relations with external powers and transformed domestic politics with his social, political, and economic reforms.
Although his reign ended abruptly, he achieved some notable successes.
Before final negotiations were concluded in 1921 on the foreign policy issue, however, Afghanistan had already begun to establish its own foreign policy, including diplomatic relations with the new government in the Soviet Union in 1919.
During the 1920s, Afghanistan established diplomatic relations with most major countries, and Amanullah officially became king in 1923.
On 14 January 1929, Amanullah abdicated and fled to neighboring British India while Afghanistan fell into a civil war. From British India he went to Europe where he died in Zürich, Switzerland, in 1960.

The Lovers are an important card in the tarot deck. As anyone can guess, they have the most significance to matters dealing with relationships, because there are two of them and they are representative of relationships. This card is the seventh card in a standard tarot deck and is numbered 6 because the fool is usually considered the first, but is left unnumbered or as a zero in practice. When the lovers are drawn in a tarot spread, it can mean several things, but most of them relate to an important choice, so you would do well to continue reading in order to get a real grip on what this card means for you.
The chariot is the 8th card in a tarot deck and is numbered seven due to the fact that the fool is one of the major arcana, and being either numbered zero, or left unnumbered, it is considered the first. While drawings always differ, the standard chariot card is usually depicted as a soldier of some sort being drawn in a chariot by beasts. In the case of more traditional decks, these beats are sphinxes, being rooted in Egyptian tradition, but whatever they are depicted as, the chariot card is still very significant and this is why it is considered part of the 22 major arcana.
The justice card is the 9th card (or the 12th card depending on the tarot style) in a deck of tarot cards and is numbered either 8 or 11 depending on the deck. It is one off from the true number of the card since the fool is the first card in a tarot deck and is numbered either zero, or left unnumbered depending on the deck. The justice and strength cards switch between numbers 11 and 8 on a deck because throughout so many different styles of tarot play, they have been so equally interchanged that it is hard to trace any meaning to what the true numbering should be for each of them.
The Hermit is numbered 9 in a standard tarot deck and is one of those cards that you can get a good sense of the meaning of by simply reading the name. The Hermit is an important card because; as you can tell from the name, it symbolizes solitude and singularity. The hermit is usually depicted as a tall man in a robe. He carries a staff in one hand and in the other he carries a lantern which is probably to help light his way since it is implied that he lives in a cave.
The wheel of fortune card is numbered ten in the tarot deck and is one of the major arcana. The idea of the card is one of the oldest in all of tarot and is modeled after the wheel that the Greek goddess Fortuna was said to carry. The card itself usually features a sphinx like creature atop a wheel that has many different ancient symbols on it. These symbols usually differ depending on the type of deck and the mythology that the deck is modeled after. If you would like to know what the card means in your own spread, read on.
Strength is usually the 11th card in a tarot deck and is one of the major arcana. In some decks, such as the one compiled by Waite, a famous tarot interpreter, it switches placement with the 8th card in the deck, justice. This is because Waite designed his by astrological norms and interpretations. Both are considered entirely correct despite the fact that this does create differences and confusion. Oddly enough, on the card, the character depicted is usually a woman rather than a strong male figure, who would have normally been associated with power during the time that tarot was created.
The hanged man is a card that is numbered twelve in the tarot deck, and usually seems to have somewhat of an ominous appearance. When the term hanged man comes to mind, people generally associate that with an image of a man hanging down after execution, but actually this man is literally hanging upside down. Sometimes it is from a beam, and other times it is from an actual cross, though he is not in crucifixion stance. But what is the meaning of the hanged man, keep reading to find out.

Nina Semyonovna Youshkevitch (7 December 1920 – 3 November 1998) was a Franco-Russian ballet dancer and teacher. After a notable dancing career an injury forced her retirement, and she became a prominent ballet teacher and choreographer.
From 1978 until shortly before her death, she ran her own school, the Nina Youshkevitch Ballet Workshop in New York City.

Early life and education
She was born in Odesa, Soviet Ukraine, on 7 December 1920, the daughter of the playwright and novelist Semyon Yushkevich and his second wife, Anastasia Solomonovna Youshkevitch, née Selinger. Her sister was lyric soprano Natalia Semyonovna Youshkevitch. The family left war-torn Ukraine in 1921, settling in Paris where they became French citizens. Youshkevitch trained with former ballerinas of the Mariinsky Theatre Olga Preobrajenska, and Lubov Egorova, and with French choreographer and ballet master Leo Staats. She also studied at the École du Louvre; and graduated in piano from the Conservatoire de Paris.

Dancing career
Youshkevitch was a protegee of Bronislava Nijinska, who in 1930 brought her into the corps de ballet of the Opéra Russe à Paris. Staats also employed her in works that he staged for the summer season on the Côte d'Azure, including ballets on a floating, open-air stage; and in the Walpurgisnacht ballet in Faust, at the Nice Opera. In 1934, Youshkevitch joined the Théâtre de la Danse Nijinska where she made her debut as La Dame en Bleu in the ballet Les Biches; performed as the Bride in Le Baiser de la Fée; and danced en travesti among the men in Nijinska's Bolero. Along with other members of Nijinska's company, Youshkevitch went on to join the Ballets Russes for its 1934 Monte Carlo season. There she danced the Waltz in Les Sylphides, and appeared among the Amazones and Russian peasants in Nijinska's Variations.

Youshkevitch was a principal dancer on the Ballets Russes' first tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1936–1937. Here she starred as the Princess in Nijinska's ballet Les Cent Baisers, as Odette in Le Lac des Cygnes, and as Aurora in Aurora's Wedding. She danced the role of the Principal Nymph in Vaslav Nijinsky's L'Après-midi d'un faune; appeared as Action in Léonide Massine's Les Présages; and played leading roles in Massine's Les Contes Russes and in Michel Fokine's Carnaval and Les Sylphides. British dance critic Arnold Haskell, who accompanied the tour, wrote of her: "As a dancer the most astonishing was Nina Youchkevitch...she has an unusual sense of music and the grand manner that made her performances in Aurora's Wedding and The Swan Lake absolutely unforgettable...Among the younger dancers of this company she is the one obvious hundred percent classical ballerina."

She followed her mentor, Nijinska, to Poland in 1937, where the latter founded the Balet Polski aka Les Ballets Polonais aka The Polish Ballets. In this company, which won Grand Prix for performance and for choreography at the Exposition Internationale in Paris that year, Youshkevitch created principal roles in the ballets Concerto de Chopin, Apollon et la Belle, and Le Rappel. The troupe went on to perform in London and in Berlin. Youshkevitch remained with the company after Nijinska's departure, performing with them at the 1939 World's Fair in New York City.

Narrowly escaping from Poland before the Nazi invasion, Youshkevitch returned to Paris. Nijinska invited her to reprise her role in Chopin Concerto at the Hollywood Bowl in 1940. Though Nijinska's telegram did not reach her until the concert had already taken place, it enabled Youshkevitch to receive a visa to travel to America; and she performed again in Chopin Concerto at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in 1942. In the United States, she toured with the Polish company of Felix Sadowski; and performed with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet. She appeared as Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty, sponsored by the San Francisco Russian Opera and Ballet Association in 1945. Billed as the first full-length production of Petipa's ballet in the United States, in three acts and a prologue; it was the first full-length Sleeping Beauty on the West Coast.

Teaching and choreography career
After retiring from the stage because of an injury, Youshkevitch began teaching at Nijinska's Hollywood Dance Studio; and at the Carnegie Hall studios in New York. She founded her own concert group called The Nina Youshkevitch Ballet Workshop, in New York City. After her marriage, she taught for 13 years at Wayne State College, in Wayne, Nebraska. She opened her own dance school, also called the Nina Youshkevitch Ballet Workshop, in New York City in 1978; and continued to teach there until shortly before her death. Among her students was Jennie Somogyi, later a principal with New York City Ballet.

In 1990, Youshkevitch assisted Irina Nijinska, in reviving the Bride's Variation from Le Baiser de la Fée, at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. In 1995, working from notations, Youshkevitch revived Bronislava Nijinska's ballet Bolero for the Oakland Ballet, in California. She went on to revive Chopin Concerto for the students of Goucher College, in Towson, Maryland, in 1995–1996; and staged the ballet's second movement pas de deux for the Oakland Ballet in 1997. She was preparing to stage the full Chopin Concerto for the Oakland Ballet when she died.

Personal life
She married Robert Johnson, and they had one son, who in 1998 was dance critic for The Newark Star-Ledger. She died in Manhattan, at Roosevelt Hospital, on 3 November 1998.

One of North Dakota's most spectacular sights to behold has now become accessible to the adventurous public. The Pembina Gorge now features a motorized and non-motorized trail system, operating as a state recreation area, managed by the North Dakota Parks and Recreation department.
"We want to get people out into the woods, to develop an appreciation of the Pembina Gorge," says Mike Duerre, the state recreation area site manager there. "So, building trails and developing access really helps develop that appreciation," he says, adding that safety and security for trail users is a high priority.
The motorized trail for all-terrain vehicles is encompassed in a 22 mile loop, with 15.5 miles of trails in the Pembina Gorge. There is a six-mile hiking trail into the gorge, and a 1.5 mile trail into the Tetrault Woods area of the gorge.
The Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area headquarters and visitor center is located in the Frost Fire Mountain ski lodge, seven miles west of Walhalla.
United Communications, based in Langdon, provides the fiber optic broadband connection to this location. This internet service to the Pembina Gorge is part of the overall United Communications plan to achieve fiber optic buildout across its service territory.
"We're building out the fiber optic, and trying to do a few exchanges every year," says Ross Feil, United Communications facility manager. "Last year we completed the Landon exchange, which would be the western part of the Pembina Gorge, on the west side of the Pembina River. This year we're doing the Walhalla exchange, and that's where the majority of the gorge is located,"
Feil says plowing ground to lay the fiber optic cable is done through collaborations with counties and townships, utilizing existing rights of way, and drilling/trenching methods that minimize impacts on the exceptional terrain in the Pembina Gorge region.
FCC's Rosenworcel visits Mandan school

Last month, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel visited North Dakota, accompanied by U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp. One of the stops they made was at the Mandan Middle School. While there, Roseworcel joined nearly 60 8th grade science students for a Skype conversation with Dr. Karen Nyberg, the only graduate of the University of North Dakota to have explored space. The session reinforced how high-speed internet in schools helps enable students to access more education resources and information, and increase learning.
The visit highlighted the importance of E-Rate, a federal program run by the FCC that enables schools and libraries in rural states and small cities to build out reliable high-speed internet and improve educational opportunities for students. Mandan Middle School has received E-Rate funds for several years to build out its high-speed wireless internet capabilities, enabling them to have the real-time, live conversation with a NASA astronaut in Houston.
"E-Rate is the nation's largest education technology program," said Rosenworcel. "Thanks to recent changes to the program, E-Rate helps provide schools in North Dakota and the rest of the country with the broadband and Wi-Fi connectivity they need to prepare our students for the digital future."
"Commissioner Rosenworcel and I saw that firsthand the 8th graders in Mandan concluding a semester of studying space by Skyping with a NASA astronaut located in Houston – 1,400 miles from Mandan," Heitkamp said.


It was set to premiere at TIFF, but not anymore. Lionsgate has announced that in a "preemptive deal prior to the start" of TIFF, they've acquired the release rights to Maggie, an "apocalyptic thriller" (read: zombie movie) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin and Joely Richardson. The film was set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival late in the fest next month, but with an early 2015 release planned, they've decided to pull it from the fest (the film's original listing is now gone). Whether this upsets you or not, the good news is that it will still be released in theaters… eventually. Some photos from the film below.
"We're delighted to continue our relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turns in a performance that marks a dramatic departure from his action persona, and partner with our friends at Lotus Entertainment on a film that will resonate with thriller aficionados everywhere," stated Lionsgate's COO Steve Beeks. Bill Johnson and Jim Seibel, Co-Chairs of Lotus Entertainment, producers on the film, added: "Maggie takes the zombie genre in exciting new directions, and it offers something for everyone – star power, horror, suspense and riveting performances that will keep moviegoers on the edge of their seats." Silver Reel and Gold Star Films financed the film which Lionsgate will release theatrically in North America in early 2015.
From the press release: The film tells the story of a deadly zombie virus that has put a plague on the world. When Maggie, a vivacious young woman becomes infected, her father brings her home to let her be with their family. As Maggie's condition worsens, their relationship is tested, a father's love holding on stronger than the disease. This heart-wrenching twist on the zombie apocalypse puts a human face on an inexplicable horror. Stay tuned for updates and a trailer before the release next year. We're definitely curious about this.
There are films playing at TIFF, which open weeks or even days after the screening. I don't see why Maggie couldn't have still premiered at the festival, even though Lionsgate has now bought the rights and plans to release it next year.
I am very interested to witness Arnold's performance in this. I know he has it in him to reign in the cheese.
this has very much my attention but Arnold playing a dad with no ak47 on his Lap is asking for trouble because he can't act! But hey I like Zombie movies so I will watch it anyway!
Saying Schwarzenegger "can't act" is a pretty empty statement. Even his action films had many moments of subtlety and nuance that a true non-actor couldn't have pulled off. I don't think a slower, more dramatic role with a supernatural connection, is at all beyond him. That said, the plot itself sounds disturbing.
I am very curious about this movie even if I think swarzenegger can't act. I can look beyond that. But my opinion stays. It's a monument of action movies but realy no actor. After 30 years of Hollywood you still his hear austrian accent, says enough for me.

Ambedkar memorial to be built in Mhow
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has urged the Ministry of Defence to hand over the land that surrounds the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar memorial in Mhow
Tabish Balabhadra January 1, 2015
MHOW (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has urged the Ministry of Defence to hand over the land that surrounds the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar memorial in Mhow. The state government wants 4.52 acres of land around the memorial in Ambedkar's birthplace and is ready to hand over an equal area of revenue land to the ministry in return. A large number of people assemble on this piece of land on 14 April, the birth anniversary of Ambedkar, every year. There is no other appropriate place for the grand memorial that the state government plans to build. The Madhya Pradesh government also plans to organize Ambedkar Mahakumbh in Mhow and Ravidas Mahakumbh in Ujjain. Many Dalit organizations have welcomed the move of the state government.

From the Journals of a Lifetime
Before Asya and I were married, we decided to keep a daily record of our lives. Of course we won't keep it up. I do need a notebook journal record of some sort, and this may be it. Asya is like nothing I ever anticipated or even hoped for. She's priceless.
"They will more than arrive there, every one."
A Sunday afternoon walk to the river with Asya. In this industrial kitchen of Long Island City, where the factories lie scrubbed and waiting in the sun like so many pots and pans hung up to dry, there is a weariness in the air. The river is not the sluice of New York harbor it usually is, but a pallid turgid stream breaking weakly against neglected docks and piers and river dumps.
Sunday: the fog over the river and the long line of yellow lamps all along the subway line near the "project," where Italians live in modern art slums, cut and parcelled like cheap dresses in a factory. The Italians play an old game with a few balls and a hole in the ground. It just needs a little earth, a wall, a gutter for us to play a game!
I remember the sadness of Sunday because I was so terrified of school the next day —the waiting, the fear before the soul returns to its treadmill, the fear of stammering in class the next day as my mother stammered when she was afraid. And when was she not afraid, even as she passed the fear on to me? She could not speak my English, and I hated falling into her Yiddish, it was so broken with her fear, her grief over everything she had left full of dark Poland, Jew hating Poland. Even when there was no school I wanted not to leave the sand at Coney Island as the beach emptied and I could still look to another world in the water.
Sunday: the walk to Highland Park out of Brownsville and East New York, out of everything I knew to the wonderful line of yellow lamps across the embankment before the park — the dumped eanh we used to climb over to the playing grounds, where the boys played a last game of touch football in the twilight, and we would sit on the benches near the reservoir, petting so madly as the lights of the YMCA spread out before us, challenging us, that I came, astonished to ecstasy by the weights in my body falling from tier to tier.
Sunday: playing Bach duets with Anne, my partner in the violin section of the Franklin K. Lane High School orchestra. Then her mother's Polish cups of tea. The sharp reproving taste of lemon in my mouth as we go over French irregular verbs for tomorrow. Sunday: Highland Park and the reservoir around which my teacher Julian Aaronson and I walked, dis secting the first stories I wrote in high school. Sunday: always Highland Park and the trees in shadow, the flower garden we could barely see in the growing dark. Darkness, the darkness! And then the walk through the Italian neighborhood to home — the butcher shops busy of a Jewish Sunday — the pushcarts lining Belmont Avenue, Cousin Sophie's old room with a bed and a table for me to write on and the fragrance of Sophie still where she had kept her dresses behind a curtain, forever bring her back. And sitting there, looking out on Sutter Avenue and thinking Israel! Israel! Why have you forsaken me! Sunday: the long remembered waiting and then Nancy's rhinestone dress as we huddled together against the wall of the toilet, hoping her parents would not return too soon. Sunday: the waiting, the waiting for the next day, the benches in Highland Park, the cold, the kitchen sink, the water in the reservoir.
Every once in a while some token —a sentence in a book, a voice heard, will recall for me the fresh instant delight in American landscape and culture that I felt when I really got into On Native Grounds, The sentence this morning, fresh as a spring wind, comes from Constance Rourke's book on Audubon, on the sudden realization that his ornithology showed a national sense of scale, that like Whitman he was a great voice of American nationality.
I recall the excitement under which I lived for weeks in 1939, when I knew that I had this passionate and even technical interest in images of the American past. Thomas Eakins, always a hero to my spirit. I would walk up and down the "American" rooms of the Metropolitan Museum taking in the portraits of solemn Colonial and Revolutionary figures—dull glazed transcriptions of a Sunday morning in ye olde Flatbush 1836. Images that brought back the delight I had taken even as a boy in old narratives of American discovery, the indomitable Henry Hudson always at the center—in life stories of Americans at all times and in all conditions. As a college student during the depression, one of my jobs for the National Youth Administration ($15 a month) was to comb the Dictionary of American Biography for southerners who had graduated from college before the Civil War. I never got tired of reading their stories. I have never been able to express the excitement I get from "Americana," from Constance Rourke's saying "the poet of American nationality" —from the very names Cope, James, Peirce, Dickinson, Roebling in Lewis Mumford's The Brown Decades—from Thomas Beer's Hanna and The Mauve Decade—from the letters of William James. To think of Albert Pinkham Ryder and Henry James, of Emerson and Whitman and Dickinson in the same breath, as it were, gives me extraordinary satisfaction. Makers and movers and thinkers —observers in the profoundest sense. I loved to think of America as an idea, to remember the adventure and the purity, the heroism and the salt,
Of course I love all this from the outside, as the first native son after so many generations of mudflat Russian Jews who never saw America. But my personal need is great, my inquiry is urgent.
His name is Howard Nott Doughty, and he comes from a family so long settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts that they are still in touch with their English cousins. They don't, it seems, quite approve of these cousins across the sea, who are so backward in the way of our advanced American ways that in sending over some silver spoons as a wedding present, they neglected to add the bride's initials to the groom's.
At Harvard in the twenties (he was born in 1904), he was with Lincoln Kirstein and Varian Fry, one of those advanced undergraduates who put out Hound & horn, that great founding journal of American modernism. Tall, rangy, languidly humorous about his descent in the world, he is still the proud Yankee and is writing a biography of his distant kinsman Francis Parkman. He is so glad to meet up with another literary bloke in dreary Long Island City that he has taken to presenting me with rare editions inscribed to me in It tench — Mo by Dick illustrated by Rockwell Kent and Madame de La Fayette's beautiful little seventeenth century novel. La Princesse de Clèves, the story of the exquisite heroine's overcoming the temptation to illicit passion.
The question about this Yankee patrician and kindly friend is what is he doing in Long Island City? He is teaching at the Police Academy! Why he is fallen this low is a question around which he genially circles without ever telling me anything. Until the other day, when he said, as if exasperated, "Of course you know Tm homosexual." Of course I hadn't known any such thing, and probably exasperated him even more by having nothing whatever to say on the subject.
He is married, with a daughter, and is regularly unwell. He suffers such spasms from colitis, which he offhandedly describes as "a stress disease," that he frequently doubles up as he is talking to me. What interests me is his stoical sense of failure, his clearly having a "failing," as his ancestors might have said.
He is interested in me because of my book, but my being a Jew seems to be a problem to him. His feisty little wife Binx laughs in a knowing way as she makes "jokes" about Jews. These pass over me like air, since despite her malice on the subject, I never quite know what she is talking about. In his turn, Howard seems to feel that my being a Jew is a terrible loss to me. This bothers him a lot. The other day, assuming for no reason that I observe the dietary laws, he came by not only with his usual gift of a book but with a bag of oysters that he carefully shucked and cleaned, then to my amazement hotly demanded that I eat them right then and there.
Thinking of John Dewey this morning. Some weeks ago, as I was walking to the subway after my day at the Forty-second Street library, I saw Dewey on Lexington Avenue with a woman I took to be his daughter. I looked at him with affection and pleasure that I had recognized him. He stared back. After half a block I looked back. He was still staring, talking to his daughter as if to say, "Now, when did I have him in my classes?"
I was thinking of Dewey because my impression of his career and significance is different from that of students of his philosophy alone. For me Dewey represents more than the pragmatic adaptable twentieth century intelligence that was going to fit philosophy to the scientific age. He really speaks with the security and serenity of a vanished world. I think not of his lack of elegance, the clumsy handiwork of his style, but of his nobility, his steadiness, the work of immense quiet usefulness, the moral achievement that constitutes his life.
Passing under our kitchen window on my way home from the subway at Borough Hall, I loved to look up at Asya standing in the window in the last light, preparing our evening meal. And then all the ease and charm of our young marriage would unfold for me, right there on Clinton Street, before I got to our front door on Remsen.
Brooklyn Heights, 1938: the downtown streets dense with traffic for Brooklyn Bridge on a winter's day, and lined with churches, banks, courts, municipal offices, stationers, the old Brooklyn central library on Montague Street, the main offices of Brooklyn Union Gas, the one big street clock in the neigh borhood, lawyers on Court Street hungrily bunched together but looking to grab any passerby who could be turned into a client. The air was resonant with bailiffs, city marshals, lined legal paper foolscap size. But in the center of the center, one room and a kitchen, fifty a month, we had our love.
The minute I left the house for the Forty-second Street library and my excited all day reading in American writers for my first book, I could feel in an instant flush of delight how that grid of dark radiating lines, offices, marble bank fronts, subway openings, the elevated on Fulton Street and the trolleys for the bridge —how all that dark, busily official and end less hum of topmost Brooklyn life —enclosed us, enclosed us tight. So that at night, as we lay on our just made up sofa bed listening to a Haydn cello concerto on WQXR against the fits and starts of city traffic, we had a delicious sense of being alone and all to ourselves on one sluggishly turning flywheel of the city. In the sudden stillness of a Sunday night, one shining cross in the venerable church across the street (Brooklyn, the city of churches) burned at our windows.
None of that belonged to us —not the documents being turned over all day, not the proprietary New England airs Brooklyn Heights still gave itself as we walked down Remsen Street to the harbor against a solid line of classic brownstones. Beautiful wooden doors with exquisitely etched glass inserts. At night, you could often see the hall light, and even the curve of the stairs as they mounted. Another world, another world! I could write about the mansion dominating Columbia Heights that figured in Ernest Poole's The Harbor (or so I guessed), but I could not imagine myself in it.
All this before the Esplanade. At the end of Remsen Street, however, you could wedge through the fence to face the great jeweled breast of Manhattan floating on the water. Now everything was ours —the cobblestones leading down to the piers under the old "Japanese" iron bridge at the end of Montague Street, the iron doored warehouses, the freighters tied up below with one small light in the rigging, and, out there to the right, above all and mastering all, the great Brooklyn Bridge itself. Everything on Columbia Heights was related for me to the bridge's hard leaping and thrusting glory. The immigrant John Roebling had dreamed it; the immigrant's son Washington had built it after the dreamer was struck by the Fulton Street ferry the bridge was going to replace. And here, right on Columbia Heights, Hart Crane had written the only lines that could match John Roebling's dream:
O harp and altar, of the fury fused,
(How could mere toil align thy choiring strings!)
Terrific threshold of the prophet's pledge,
Prayer of pariah, and the lover's cry —
We were radicals; our friends Richard and Felice Hofstadter on one side of Montague Street, Richard and Eleanor Rovere, Bertram D. Wolfe and his wife, Ella, on the other. The depression lasted until the war. Hitler was on our heads day and night. Franco was killing his own people with the help of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. It was inconceivable that anyone intelligent and of good will was not on our side, along with Auden, Malraux, Silone, Orwell, Hemingway, Dos Passos, Steinbeck, Wilson, Farrell and every young writer, scholar, painter and medical student we knew. It was 1938. Thirteen men from City College —students, faculty, alumni —were to die in Spain.
At 68 Montague Street Bert Wolfe (an early leader of the American Communist Party, long since expelled as a Lovesto neite, a right deviationist) and his jolly wife covered a wall with photographs of their old comrades and friends from many countries in (O holy word) the "movement." The central photograph was of Lenin, looking (it seemed to me) at all the others with his usual disapproval of anyone not up to his harsh standards. There was also a lot of Mexico on the wall. The Wolfes had been close to Diego Rivera (whose life he was writing when he was not writing Three Who Made a Revolution) and his stormy painter wife Frida Kahlo.
Bert and Ella of course ended up, like so many other exhausted radicals and neocons, at the Hoover Institution in Palo Alto. Bert died there. Forty years later, when I was at Stanford's Center for Advanced Studies, I was happy to see Ella, as delightful as ever, but was not prepared to see in Palo Alto the same lineup of photographs I had seen forty years before at 68 Montague Street. Lenin still looked disapprovingly at everyone else. Living amid the Hoover Institution's remarkable collection of documents relating to the international Communist movement, Ella was more awash than ever in her old history. Just as she had joked in 1938 that a Comintern congress had no delegate from the jungle because "they couldn't find a Jew willing to wear a nose ring," so now she laughingly reported Trotsky's affair with Frida Kahlo and of how she had given him up as "that tiresome old man."
The thirties were an age of faith, for a time, and a great many people I knew and knew of were soldiers of faith. We alone were pure. The only evil in the world was Fascism. That took care of all other things, like our personal lives.
I came home from the library one afternoon, radiantly happy, to find Asya face down on the floor, sobbing in anger, uselessly hitting the floor with her fists. The excessive smell of fresh paint in the newly occupied flat hit me as I bent to her. She had just had a visit from her mother, whose only way of dealing with a charmingly errant husband was to harangue Asya to the point of hysteria.
Her parents were Jews who proudly let me know that they considered themselves Russian "intelligentsia" and condescended to my easily subdued parents because they spoke Yiddish to each other. There was not a thing about the U.S.S.R. that Asya's parents did not declare holy, perfect and adorable. The mother amused me —only her pretensions were amusing—by wearing severe suits and routinely choosing a straight kitchen chair to sit in with a fixed frown —I never saw her smile —rather than the wing chair that was our one luxury. This showed her contempt for "bourgeois" frippery. Otherwise she was an absolute terror, always on the attack. She just could not manage her husband. Often enough she could not even locate him.
Everything about Asya's parents was strange to me. The mother's cruelty to her children — Asya had a younger brother who was to succumb at an early age to the unbearable stress his mother dumped on him —went hand in hand with an idolatry of Stalin that made me laugh. Asya's father and I were fond of each other; he even confided that his terrible wife had a sexual hold on him that explained his inability to tear himself away from her. He loved his daughter madly and loved me even when, like my friend Richard Hofstadter, I jeered at such political orthodoxy.
The Hofstadters were another left wing couple in marital disarray, but here the problem was startlingly, openly one of rival careers. The unstoppable Felice (only cancer would stop her at twenty-nine after she had borne a son she typically named Dan after "the smallest and most belligerent tribe in Israel") had come down from a prominent medical family in Buffalo as if she expected New York to fall at her feet. And it damned near did. At first the Hofstadters in their rough lodgings over a bakery on Montague Street were so poor that Felice seriously tried to get Dick work in a nightclub as a stand up comic. We all howled when he did his imitation of FDR and of the Ozark farmer whose daughter had fallen into the well. "Must get her out of there one of these days."
Before long Felice, starting only as a researcher for the medical columnist on Time, was writing the medical column. Women had traditionally been restricted to research for writers exclusively male. But of course Felice broke through all that. She was irresistible in her ability not only to accept and affirm but to display her various loyalties. Only robustly left wing Felice could have decided on living so close to the harbor so that she could keep up with members of the Norwegian Seamen's Union. They would wander in of a Saturday afternoon for a taste of Felice's famous cholent, the Sabbath dish prepared by Orthodox Jews before the Sabbath, when no cooking is allowed.
Felice publicly loved being Jewish, as she publicly flourished feeding her "comrade" Norwegian seamen, shining to advantage as one of the first women writers on Time. When she left her office high up in the Chrysler Building of a Saturday night (working the weekend "for Luce" was routine), she never seemed surprised to be greeted by the many male friends waiting to take her out for dinner. She carried in every step the pride, the gusto, and for me the very romance that comes with sudden success for the young in New York, and which from that time forward remains embodied for me in the Chrysler Building itself, rising up there over Forty-second Street like the only true New York cathedral, its shining spire scraping the sky all right and challenging it to find another so confident in its potency and silver beauty. And this in the midst of a depression, weighing down millions, a whole quarter of the American working class unemployed, that aroused all Felice's scorn and indignation as a radical.
After uneasily trying this and that, Dick was in graduate school at Columbia and began writing Social Darwinism in American Thought as I was lurching into On Native Grounds, We were soon doing our reading side by side in the great Reading Room 315 of the Forty-second Street library. He was never an outspoken and public personality like his wife —not even when he was recognized as one of the most significant contemporary American historians. But not uninfluenced by his early Marxism, he had attained an intellectual certainty that won me, along with the gift for mimicry he displayed in private. The mimicry—of all possible American characters but always returning to that central presence, the President of the United States, who in our eyes was just not doing enough—was the voice of his essential skepticism. His German background Lutheran mother had died early, his Polish Jewish father had given his gift for Yiddish an irresistible turn. Between two such worlds —who would have guessed that the middle name of this former Lutheran altar boy was Irving!— he had become the amused outsider who looked Gentile, was married to a Jew and whose friends were regularly Jews.
I was linked to Richard Hofstadter by our passion for America as history. America was more than the radical alienation, the critical edge we brought to it. When Dick read aloud from Mencken's unforgettable portrait of William Jennings Bryan at the Scopes trial in Tennessee, when he laughingly quoted Mr. Dooley on Theodore Roosevelt's looking all teeth—"Teddy bit his way to the platform" in an ecstasy of enjoyment that someone else equally relished every little bit of the American scene. Dick would say of Columbia University that he loved observing it as "a society." In the same way I was fascinated by the depression crowds jostling us in Room 315 as we did our reading, the mass of impatient, often clearly troubled unemployed people in the Automat across the street on Forty-second Street where we often gobbled our lunch at the stand up table before going off to a local pool parlor to play Ping Pong. We had left our books and notes on one of the golden library tables under a note —BACK SOON. PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB. —I would sit back
All the while Dick was quietly preparing himself for the great career that was to end all too soon in 1970 of leukemia. Felice was growing more restive. I was not prepared to understand—not until it cut my own life in half—the urgency of rebellion that erupted in the Hofstadters' public quarrels over the way she drove their new car. Their increasingly prosperous and fashionable lifestyle made the Hofstadters as a couple less fun than they had been in their old Bohemian lodgings in Brooklyn Heights. Felice loved being important to Time more than she could ever love Time itself. Writing up a frightful industrial accident in which a worker had been pressed to death by a machine, she had thought it clever to write that the victim could now be slipped under a door. On her way home she felt horrified by her callousness, rushed back to the office to change the piece and found the managing editor roundly congratulating her.
Felice was ambitious, morally sensitive to a degree, but she was not as serious as she thought, not a serious thinker like her husband. She wanted to be a novelist, she wanted to be acclaimed, she wanted, she wanted! When I could not respond as expected to her one published novel, of intense social content, the roof fell in. I never saw her again. As the war was ending, she became deadly ill. Dick, looking after her, sitting by her side in a darkened room, began The American Political Tradition in the dark, on a yellow pad, not always able to see his words.

The first nine shortlists for the 2019 Oscars have been announced – and Black Panther has paved the way with four nominations.
The Marvel favourite has bagged nods for make-up and hairstyling, original score, original song and visual effects.
This comes just days after Black Panther was put up for Best Picture at this year's Golden Globes too.
Basically, Wakanda is bringing it to awards season this year – even if they make it through only one of the shortlist categories.
It appears that Marvel in general has got an early lead in the competition with Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and The Wasp also being recognised from the franchise.
As well as both joining Black Panther in the Visual Effects Category, Avengers: Infinity War has also been short-listed in the Original Score.
Other early runners include Bohemian Rhapsody for Make-Up and Hair, Mary Poppins Returns for Visual Effects, Original Score and two Original Songs, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg documentary RBG, for Original Song and Documentary Feature.
These nine shortlists will be now be reduced in size for the final nominations lists, which will be announced at the beginning of next year.
The full nominations for the 91st Academy Awards will be announced on 22 January 2019, and the ceremony will be held on 24 February at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The 91st Oscars Ceremony will air on CBS in the US, and on Sky in the UK.

Is there Really a Top Secret Fat Loss Secret?
Losing fat is not easy: you need to have a regimen that is tailored to your needs, budget, and body type. You need to follow this regimen faithfully, and if you do get out of the regimen, you need to find yourself a way to get back in immediately. You need to pay top dollar for some diets or exercise routines that will let you lose your fats. Thanks to technology and the rising demand for fitness and trimness, people are always on the lookout for fat loss secrets and strategies, and laboratories, scientists, nutritionists, and physicians are only too happy to oblige.
There are many different regimens available out there that will help you lose fat, and there are many different things that you can do to keep yourself fit and trim. Is there really a top secret fat loss secret that no one has discovered yet?
The problem with a lot of fat loss regimens is that a lot of people take for granted that a regimen is tailored specifically for them. What they don't realize, or maybe what they don't remember, is that every single human being on this planet is unique and different, down to the very sequence of our DNA. This means that we all have our own bodily quirks and specific metabolic mechanisms to keep us running.
Of course, there are general routines in metabolism that apply to everyone, but every single pathway has its own speed, its own enzymatic efficiency, and its own products that may or may not have errors.
This means that your body is different from everybody else's, in one way or another, so you can't easily generalize one persons experience to fit your own. You cannot say that once something doesn't work for other people, it won't work for you. There just might be something out there for your needs, and you might not have found it!
In other words, there may not be a single fat loss secret that we haven't unearthed. What there may be are different ways to lose fats. You can try exercising, and there are different exercise routines that you can try, from low impact Pilates and Yoga, to higher impact workouts like kickboxing and capoeira.
There are different diets that you can try, from the popular and expensive South Beach Diet, to the infamous Atkins Diet. What is important is you know the risks involved in any of these methods, and you have consulted with your doctor and nutritionist first before trying out any of them.

Venezuela brigade: a unique experience
Jim McIlroy
Coral Wynter
"Brilliant, fantastic, inspiring … Never shaken so many hands in one day", commented Pat Rogers, a Brisbane staff member of the Electrical Trades Union, after experiencing the May Day march of more than 1 million workers in Caracas during the Australian trade union solidarity brigade to Venezuela in April-May last year. People in Australia will have the opportunity to join a May Day brigade to Venezuela again this year, from April 30 to May 9, organised by the Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network (AVSN).
Like last year, participants in the 2007 May Day brigade will meet with unions and workers' organisations, visit factories under cogestion (workers' co-management), educational bodies, missions (social projects) and other groups involved in the Bolivarian revolution that is transforming the Venezuelan social system in the direction of "socialism of the 21st century".
At the end of last year, another group of 36 people from Australia, New Zealand and Europe participated in a presidential election brigade to Venezuela, from November 25 to December 6. More than 120 people have joined one of the five AVSN-sponsored brigades in the last two years.
Participants in the brigade last December were able to observe the crucial Venezuelan presidential election, which resulted in the return, with 63% of the vote, of socialist president Hugo Chavez. The brigadistas had the unique experience of joining some 2.5 million Venezuelans at Chavez's final election rally in Caracas on November 26.
The packed brigade itinerary included visits to the Bolivarian University, the Catia endogenous zone (incorporating workers' cooperatives), the historic Barrio January 23 and community television station Catia TV, all in Caracas. It also included meetings with the Civic-Military Bolivarian Front, the national women's organisation INAMUJER, the revolutionary youth organisation Frente Francisco de Miranda, and a parliamentary leader of the Communist Party of Venezuela.
The brigade separated into two groups to visit the regional towns of Coro and Barquisimeto, to meet with representatives of communal councils, education and health missions and agricultural cooperatives. They also had discussions with prominent commentators on the Bolivarian revolutionary process.
These kinds of exciting events will be part of the agenda for the May Day brigade this year. The deadline for registering for the May Day brigade is February 28.

Briefing — Enabling the California Cancer Registry to Measure and Improve Care
Each year, approximately 140,000 Californians are diagnosed with cancer — about 16 people an hour. Yet little information exists about variations in the quality of cancer care to help guide families' decisions about where to get that care. The lack of information also hinders providers, payers, policymakers, and others from making informed decisions and improving the quality of care.
In 2013, CHCF convened an expert workgroup to explore how the California Cancer Registry, the statewide population-based cancer surveillance system, could be used to measure, publicly report, and thereby improve the quality of care.
CHCF hosted a Sacramento briefing to discuss the panel's work, including three recommendations and model legislation put forth to enable the registry to expand its focus beyond public health surveillance to include cancer care quality measurement and public reporting. The workgroup has charted a path for California to lead the nation in using state-based registries to track and improve cancer care. An accompanying issue brief was released.
The speakers are:
Douglas Blayney, MD, Ann & John Doerr Medical Director and Associate Director for Clinical Care, Stanford Cancer Institute; Professor of Medicine (oncology), Associate Division Chief of Medical Oncology, Stanford University
Dennis Deapen, DrPH, Professor of Preventive Medicine, Division of Epidemiology and Director, Los Angeles Cancer Surveillance Program, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California
Sandra Hernández, MD, President and CEO, California Health Care Foundation (moderator)
Robert Hiatt, MD, PhD, Workgroup Chair, Professor and Chair, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Associate Director for Population Sciences, and Leader, Cancer Control Program, Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California, San Francisco
Elizabeth Imholz, JD, Director, Special Projects, Consumers Union

Religious tensions flare again at Istanbul landmark Hagia Sophia
Perched on the tip of Istanbul's historic peninsula, Hagia Sophia ― with its spectacular dome, elegant curves and towering minarets ― is an iconic sight for millions of tourists visiting the city each year.
But should it be a mosque, a church or a museum?
The 1,500-year-old complex overlooking the Bosphorus is at the heart of a bitter dispute over its fate after Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc called for it to be converted back into a Muslim place of worship.

His comments, though not official policy, have added to concerns over what critics say is the government's increasing efforts to impose Islamic values on secular Turkish society.
And the Byzantine monument could become a political hot potato for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is seeking to shore up flagging support among conservative Muslims ahead of elections next year.
Hagia Sophia, which in Greek means "Holy Wisdom," was built in the sixth century and served as an Orthodox church for centuries ― and as the seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople ― before being converted to a mosque by the Ottomans in the 1400s.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish republic, declared it a museum in 1934 and it opened the following year.
"We are looking at a sad Hagia Sophia, but hopefully we will see it smiling again soon," Arinc said earlier this month.
Greece, whose territory was once part of the Ottoman empire and is often at odds with Turkey over religious issues, reacted furiously, saying such comments offended the religious feelings of millions of Christians.
Mihail Vasiliadis, editor-in-chief of Istanbul-based Greek daily Apoyevmatini, says Hagia Sophia is an important symbol for the entire Orthodox Christian community.
"There are some who have been seeing a sad Hagia Sophia for more than 500 years and they are the ones who want to see it returned as a church," he told AFP.
Istanbul's tiny Greek community, which numbers just a few thousand, is already irked over the issue of Ankara's insistence on reciprocal steps from Athens to improve their religious rights.
"There is no need to add salt to the wound," Vasiliadis said.
Last month, Greece flatly rejected the idea of reviving two mosques in Athens in return for the reopening of an Orthodox clergy school in Turkey.
Two other churches that also bear the name Hagia Sophia have recently been turned into mosques in Turkey.
There are already an estimated 83,000 mosques across the country ― up around seven percent since Erdogan took office 11 years ago.
Istanbul itself has around 3,000, including the stunning 17th century Blue Mosque just a short distance from Hagia Sophia.
For devout Muslims, however, opening Hagia Sophia for worship is also about paying a homage to Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the Ottoman emperor who turned it into a mosque following the conquest of Constantinople and joined the first prayers in 1453.
The nationalist Islamist Great Union Party (BBP) has staged several demonstrations to seek a repeal of the ban on Muslim prayers in Hagia Sophia, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site encompassing the Byzantine and Ottoman treasures of old Istanbul.
Armed with a land registry certificate dated 1936 that describes the complex as a mosque, BBP deputy leader Bayram Karacan claimed that its conversion into a museum was illegal.
"The fact that Hagia Sophia is a museum has never been accepted by the Turkish people … restoring it as a mosque would be akin to reclaiming sovereignty over it," Karacan said.
Outside Hagia Sophia, visitors and local residents were divided over the possible conversion of the monument, described by UNESCO as one of the historic quarter's "unique architectural masterpieces."
"We have plenty of mosques here and many of them are empty. Who will fill all these mosques if it is converted? Tourists will not come here anymore," said 52-year-old shop owner Fehmi Simsek.
Emerging from Hagia Sophia, 23-year-old German tourist Tamara said the complex was a testament to Istanbul's historical and religious importance throughout the centuries.
"Why would you want to change such a remarkable building?"
Historian Ahmet Kuyas of Galatasaray University in Istanbul said the debate could be linked to Turkey's upcoming elections, with local polls in March, a presidential ballot in August and parliamentary elections in 2015.
Erdogan, nicknamed the "Sultan," has frequently touched a nerve over his conservative religious policies, including crackdowns on the sale and advertising of alcohol and allowing women working in the public service to wear Islamic headscarves.
"Turning Hagia Sophia into a mosque would be another blow to secular Turkey," Kuyas said, describing the site as "a symbol of universal peace, peace between nations, between religions."
Sevda, a veiled Turkish woman, said it would be more accessible to all as a mosque, as currently there was a fee to enter the museum.
"It belongs to us and therefore it should be a mosque," added her companion Kubra.
A visitor from Spain who gave his name only as Alex said he did not object to a change in the status as long as people could still visit.
"It is a beautiful place that everyone should see," he added.

I'm another one who is not getting orange in this blend, or cream really. What I DO get is a vaguely fruity, vaguely woody scent which dries into a lovely soft mixture of sweetness, fruitiness and spice/woods. It's all very well blended, and very soft - unfortunately, that's the downfall of this scent as well. It has very little throw or lasting power. As pleasant as it is, I doubt after 15 minutes that any but me can smell it (and that's with my nose to my arm).
This is a lot drier and greener than I was expecting. I don't know what "brown amber" is, but to me this smells like musk and dried grass. It has a bitter and astrigent quality to it which makes this a less "comfortable" kind of musk and more of a soapy kind of musk.
This is very straight forward, it's pomegranate wine. I don't get the other notes for some reason, lotus tends to be very strong on me but here it's just not showing up. It's very pretty - wine with a nice juicy tone to it. THe pomegranate tends to fade by the dry down though and what's left is really a soft wine scent.
Does what it says on the tin! Seriously The Lion is THE poster child of spiced amber. And it is EXACTLY what it says it is - softly spiced amber. Perfectly unisex, perfectly lovely.
TKO is way foody to me - very much like one of those vanilla lemon cookies sprinkled with powder sugar BUT with lavender added to it. Lavender is definitely dominant here and then there is a foody vanilla and something with a lemony edge. It's pleasant, but there is also something slightly "off" to my nose in it's drydown. A sort of out-of-place herbal smell behind the foody scent.
This is WAY more wine-y than I was expecting - it's wine and then it's soft soft spices. But mostly it's like POW! WINE! - if you've smelled any wine BPAL blend, you know what to expect of their wine note - almost astringent going on, potent but mellows out into a softer, softly spiced wine note later on. This is exactly that BUT with added spice. It's pleasant, will make a nice scent around the cold months.
This is exactly what I was expecting - earthy patchouli and rose. It's warm and has that lovely bite that patchouli has, but is equally backed by the rose (which has a bit of a powdery quality here). Not for me because of the rose, but lovely all the same!
This is such a pretty scent - it starts off as bright lime, juicy and tart. It's backed by some soft herbal greens which really ground it and tie together well with the musk. It's very pretty. The problem is that it lasts for all of 5 minutes on my skin. Even with my nose parked right on my skin I can barely smell anything after a few minutes. Such a shame too, because this is yum otherwise!
This goes on strangely fruity for some reason but that very quickly dissipates and the remaining scent is no doubt the masculine version of Obatala. It's almost exactly Obatala except for underneath the lovely clean shea scent is a softly woody herbed background. It makes me think of a mixture of Obatala and Buck Moon, so of course I love this. Even though it's the "male" version of Obatala, much LIKE Obatala it is a very gender neutral scent and could be worn by anyone. It's very lovely.
This goes on very green but also with a strong punch of rose. After a few minutes it's definitely softer than it starts, but it's also still quite predominantly rose with a very fern-y background and a tiny bit of powdery herbal-ness from the lavender.
Definitely a morpher on me - it goes on very tangy - for lack of a better word - and pungent, but definitely not floral. It has an oddly bitter quality to it at first. As it dries, it establishes itself more as a floral and becomes a heady and strong white floral bouquet backed by the masculine hint of whiskey. Predominantely floral though. Goes on strangely bitter but morphs quickly into a white floral bouquet with an edge of soapiness and a faint masculine/spiced whiskey behind it.
This scent was not quite as foody or rich as I think I was expecting, but still very nice. The apricot is there but a bit more subtle, the real stand out note is the cherry to me. It's a bit on the tart side, not a real deep, rich cherry. There is a sort of vanilla-y pastry note in the background too, which helps these fruity notes stick a bit. It's pretty straightforward as a scent, doesn't morph much. I think it's lovely enough to warrant keeping around and letting it age a bit. I think a little time aging will probably show this to be a really lovely scent!
My great grandma used to keep these old fashioned rose soaps in her bathroom. This smells like that - rose soap.

Q: Python: How do you sort the contents of a .txt file in numerical order? I have some trouble making a code that arranges a .txt file in numerical order.
The problem I'm having is when ordering numbers 77, 45, 85, 100 in the .txt file it orders it as 100, 45, 77, 85; 100 being the lowest.
Not sure how I would correct that as I want 100 to be the highest.
This is what I have so far:
import csv
import operator

sample = open("score.txt")
csv1 = csv.reader(sample, delimiter=',')
sort = sorted(csv1, key=operator.itemgetter(1))
for eachline in sort:
    print eachline

A: Like budder says, try to convert your elements to int or float. Assuming that your are working with integers you can change your key in  sorted() func:
sort = sorted(csv1, key=lambda x : int(x[1]))

A: You need to sort them numerically instead of alphabetically.
Try this:
sort = sorted(csv1, key=lambda item: int(item[1]))

A: The entries need to first be converted to integers to be correctly sorted.
score.txt
312
148
17
108

python
with open('score.txt', 'r') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
numbers = [int(e.strip()) for e in lines]
numbers.sort()
print numbers

#[17, 108, 148, 312]
