If you do a ad hoc in field, give the ability to assign it to a crew from the phone.
Once photos are taken you can have a crew follow up on it and the take photos (ie digital punch list).
Then crew would see work order on their phone and also could login to direct.pruvan.com to see the photos taken on that Project.
Good idea Gary, We are looking into how we would implement this.

Louie Puroll Gets Fired for Lying
It has been a mostly hellish ride for Louie Puroll, fired last week as a range deputy by Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu for lying.
Puroll's name was unknown to most before he said a gang of drug smugglers attacked him with semiautomatic weapons April 30, 2010, in the desert between Casa Grande and Gila Bend.
Puroll's name made big news that night when Babeu spoke of the deputy's "ambush" by the smugglers in the Vekol Valley, about four miles south of Interstate 8. The 53-year-old had suffered a minor flesh wound during the attack, and the sheriff said Puroll managed to retreat to safety as he returned fire with his M-16 rifle and a handgun.
Almost everybody's first thoughts were with the deputy and how lucky he must have been to escape a potentially fatal clash relatively unscathed.
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — shot Saturday in Tucson along with 19 others, six of whom are dead — issued a press release after the Puroll incident that summed up the mood of a majority of Arizonans.
"What will it take?" she asked. "Who else will be shot? How much more violence must we endure before the federal government secures our border? These are the questions that Arizonans are asking after [the] shooting of Deputy Puroll by suspected drug smugglers. We want answers, and we want them now."
But more questions than answers arose in the next several days, most of them directed at New Times from law enforcement sources in the Phoenix area and elsewhere: Why, they asked, hadn't Pinal County authorities been able to arrest any of the alleged shooters, and why hadn't they found any of the bales of marijuana that Puroll said the men had been toting?
More questions emerged as the Pinal County Sheriff's Office and the Arizona Department of Public Safety (which processed the crime scene) released respective investigative reports, asking why there were so few expended shell casings from bullets that possibly could have been fired at the deputy?
The story of Puroll's shooting came one week after Governor Jan Brewer's signing of Arizona Senate Bill 1070, which called for the harshest restrictions ever on illegal immigrants (the law has been challenged legally, and it remains tied up in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.)
The deputy became a folk hero to many, both in Arizona and nationally, and a symbol of everything that's wrong about the federal government's approach to policing the border (even if the clash occurred about 85 miles north of the line).
Puroll's emotionally charged words to police dispatchers shortly after he called in to say he'd been shot — "Tell my wife I love her" — endeared him to many, including his sheriff, whose national profile increased dramatically in the aftermath. Sheriff Babeu became a mainstay on Fox News following the Puroll shooting.
New Times' initial reporting on the incident led to a May 3 blog post (four days after the shooting) in which it was noted that there was "no evidence at this point that suggests Deputy Puroll is anything but a stellar peace officer. But questions quietly have arisen among some law enforcement types about the bizarre incident in the desert."
Sheriff Babeu held a press conference in response to the post — which compared the incident to that of a Phoenix police officer who staged his own shooting ("A Shot in the Dark," March 25, 2002). The sheriff released recordings of Puroll's calls to dispatchers after the clash and gave a detailed description of the deputy's account.
"There's no doubt in my mind that this happened," the sheriff said.
A few weeks later, New Times quoted a cop familiar with details of the crime scene. "That whole scene was just not right," the officer said, adding that DPS investigators had "found zero evidence supporting [Puroll's] recollections of the incident."
Pinal County sheriff's investigators' probe into what happened in the desert was, at best, tepid. Their interview of Deputy Puroll in early May was devoid of anything approaching a hard question.
On September 23, New Times published "Pinalcchio," a lengthy examination of the Puroll shooting case. The piece raised numerous questions about his account and about the less-than-thorough investigation by his PCSO peers.
In that story, a pair of veteran forensic pathologists who, at this newspaper's request, studied photographs of Puroll's gunshot wound said it looked like a contact or near-contact wound. If true, that would have rebutted the deputy's account of getting shot from a distance.
Sheriff Babeu blasted New Times as a "conspiracy-driven" newspaper and for supposedly "hiring" the pathologists, Drs. Michael Baden and Werner Spitz — even though the experts had provided their opinions without financial compensation. But media pressure eventually forced the sheriff to order his investigators to belatedly send the bloody T-shirt worn by Puroll during the alleged shootout to the state's crime lab for examination.
In early October, Babeu convened the media in Florence to announce (live on CNN) that the lab's testing had revealed the lack of any gunshot residue on the T-shirt.
That told the sheriff, seemingly once and for all, that Puroll hadn't shot himself, even though many more questions about his truthfulness remained unanswered.
"This case is over," Babeu said, "and I think the reporter behind all this should apologize."
Deputy Puroll also spoke to the media during that news conference, showing a feisty disposition and a quick wit.
As the writer of the stories in which experts questioned his account of what had happened in the Vekol Valley, I introduced myself to the deputy after the press conference.
"So you're the one who called me a liar," he said.
We sat at a table and spoke for about a half-hour. Puroll jotted down his e-mail address and agreed to answer whatever I had to ask whenever we could work out the logistics.
A few weeks later, we met at a truck-stop restaurant off Interstate 10 near Eloy.
The interview was four hours long and covered a number of topics, the most relevant of which made it into New Times' next story on the case, "Whitewash," November 25.
In the interview, Puroll said members of infamous Mexican drug cartels had attempted to bribe him, sounding serious when he said it.
The deputy also claimed a friend of his had offered to murder me because of my less-than-favorable analysis of Puroll's account of the shooting.
I gave Puroll opportunities in the days after he made that statement to amend or retract it. But he chose not to, instead saying that his pal "probably" hadn't been serious about the apparently off-the-cuff offer to commit homicide.
The PCSO suspended the deputy shortly after the story, which prompted the 14-year department veteran's firing last week after the office's Professional Standards Bureau investigators sustained each of 10 allegations against Puroll, including that the deputy had been "untruthful."
After the firing, Sheriff Babeu said he still believes Puroll's story about getting shot by a drug smuggler in the Vekol Valley but conceded that the deputy told tall tales about the death threat and about meeting repeatedly with cartel members.
Puroll must have offended his department by lying to internal affairs investigators, since lying to a reporter may be stupid but presumably not against PCSO regulations.
The release noted that Puroll plans to contest his firing.
Under Arizona law, the agency is barred from releasing the internal affairs report authored by Detective Rob Evans until appeals are exhausted.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office's Professional Standards Bureau sustained each of 10 allegations against Louie Puroll, including that the deputy had been "untruthful."

[email protected]: Speakers raise medical ID theft policy awareness
Joseph Conn
A pair of health information management leaders from Boston presented some provider-level rare data on medical identity theft this week during the 81st annual convention of the American Health Information Management Association in Grapevine, Texas.
Mark Haas, manager of health information services at 907-bed Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and Shanda Brown, information systems project manager at the hospital, spoke with authority that attempts at medical identity theft appear to be on the rise at their hospital.
In 2006, after passage of a state healthcare reform law that required residents to have health insurance, Massachusetts General saw a number of patients coming forward wanting to clear up discrepancies in their medical records and, in effect, admitting they had received care there under different identities, according to Haas. In response, the hospital information systems department led in the formation of a cross-departmental data integrity committee.
The hospital's data integrity committee meets monthly and, among other things, developed "red flag" policies and procedures to identify and thwart medical identity theft attempts while the patient is still at the hospital.
Haas said that the committee's role is to help promulgate policy and educate hospital workers about some telltale signs of possible medical identity theft so they can look out for it while they are interacting with patients. The policy also provides workers with specific guidelines on what to do when they suspect someone may be trying to obtain medical care under a false identity.
Haas said it is only natural that health information management workers take the lead in this new area of information technology.
"We believe this is a very good thing, raising awareness about this," Haas said. "We also think this is a good thing for HIM. If we become the patient identification experts, we have a seat at the table where the problem exists, at the front end. That will make all of our lives easier."
According to protocols established by the data integrity committee, "We will be the first person at Mass General that anybody calls if they expect an incidence of medical identity theft is going on."
Here is the Massachusetts General data thus far: In 2006, there were 16 red-flag incidents reported through the program, Haas said. By 2007, there were 23; in 2008, 42; and through just the first six months of this year, 43.
On closer inspection, about a quarter of the red-flag incidents panned out to be true cases of medical identity theft, Haas said. In retrospective analysis, the red-flag program identifies and prevents on the front end about half of the medical identity theft cases at the hospital, Haas said.
Often, medical identity theft incidents involve large claims. One patient's bill at Massachusetts General was about $42,000. Another's was $35,000. A third case, $28,000.
And money isn't the only issue.
One woman came into the hospital to have an appendectomy, Brown said, using the identity and insurance coverage of a cousin, who happened to be accompanying the patient that day. The patient's cousin also had received care previously at Massachusetts General. Her scheme wasn't discovered until the appendectomy patient's blood type didn't match that of her cousin's in medical records from a prior visit.
When a red flag is raised, Brown said, "We'll start a track for a patient investigation. That information is being fed back in real time while the patient is still there." The other track is to continue to provide patient care, she said.
The health information management investigation might include going back to the registrar who handled information gathering when the patient was admitted to review what questions were asked and how they were asked. For example, the registrar might be queried as to whether the patient had been asked to provide a street address and ZIP code, or did the registrar allow the computer system to populate the new admission record from existing data in the system.
Insurance fraud, drug seeking and immigration issues were the top three categories of medical identity theft cases at Massachusetts General, Haas said, but the research hospital uncovered a fourth category a few years ago. The hospital detected a patient who appeared multiple times under different names trying to collect $600 payments for participation in a research trial. The patient did not want to report the money on his taxes, Haas said.
"If you do training at your hospital, don't leave research out of the discussion," Haas said.
Pam Dixon is the founder of the not-for-profit World Privacy Forum, which in 2006 focused national attention on the problem with a 56-page report that concluded medical identity theft remains "the least studied and most poorly documented of the cluster of identity theft crimes."
Three years later, Dixon said the Massachusetts General disclosure of its own statistics on medical identity theft investigations may be unique.
"I have not heard of a provider willingly giving out numbers before," Dixon said. "What I found interesting is their numbers are growing so much. If you graphed this, it goes up sharply."

The Game Fanatics
Whenever it's fully embracing its detective murder mystery identity, Judgment is a fantastic gritty action experience that takes Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios' formula into a refreshing new direction. The characters are likeable, the central mystery is intriguing, and even when it leans back on its own established formula, the gameplay remains satisfying and fun.
Róbert Herda
Judgment won't change your mind about the output of the Ryu Ga Gotoku studio. However, if you're already a fan and you enjoy modern crime stories as well, you can't go wrong here.
Ethan Willard
We Got This Covered
Judgment is a weird, wild, and absolutely absurd journey through the streets of Kamurocho. While the mechanics can be clunky, and there are a few instances of gross writing, it's an excellent game to pick up and get lost in.
Tristan Ogilvie
Judgment is a superficial detective experience, but an extremely good Yakuza one.
No Recommendation / Blank
Sega's spin-off has a few ideas of its own as it takes a detective's perspective on Kamurocho, though it all ends up feeling a little flat.
Easy Allies
A fun spin-off that takes some of the best parts of Yakuza and weaves a story that's at least as compelling – even if a lot of gameplay elements are becoming overfamiliar at this point.
Despite the fantastic story, Judgment stops short of being a must-play thanks to its shallow and unfulfilling crime-solving gameplay.
Jeff Cork
Judgment is a Yakuza game in all but name, offering the same dizzying array of action, side content, and a lengthy (and convoluted) story
Edmond Tran
Lovable characters and an intriguing mystery-drama elevate this otherwise run-of-the-mill Ryu ga Gotoku joint.
Jeffrey Parkin
Unscored
This is the same city, just seen from a very different perspective.
Caty McCarthy
Judgment is very much a Yakuza game in detective clothing, but with some clever twists and a killer mystery at the center, it ends up feeling surprisingly distinct. While some of the detective-specific mechanical additions are a drag, everything else vibes really well with the familiar Kamurocho setting. It's easily the best of the recent line of Dragon Engine-developed games in the series—even without Kiryu Kazuma at the center, and even without a karaoke minigame.
Jason Faulkner
Judgment is still an excellent game, despite some of the issues I have. Unfortunately, this is a title that is somewhat held back by its lustrous pedigree, but it has one of the best stories in the franchise, and there's still a ton of things it has going in its favor.
I appreciate that the Yakuza studio wanted to try something different with Judgment, even if the biggest deviations are the absence of the bankable character Kazuma Kiryu and the addition of some detective busywork. Given that said work is typically brief, this is an easy one to recommend to Ryu Ga Gotoku acolytes and folks with patience.
Judgment is the best entry to the Yakuza series for new players. Introducing new characters and storylines, detective mechanics, an amazing minigame selection (including classics such as Virtua Fighter 5, Space Harrier or Fantasy Zone) and, for the first time, spanish subtitles.
Aran Suddi
Judgment is another great Japanese crime drama that will grab your attention as the stakes get bigger and bigger, but it's not quite on par with the Yakuza series. Some of the private detective busywork could make way for more of RGG Studio's trademark goofiness to cut through the seriousness of the main story, but anyone who has any interest in Far East crime dramas or the Yakuza series should pick Judgment up. Judgment has been judged and has been found worth playing.
Alessandra Borgonovo
IGN Italy
Regardless some flaws, Judgment holds up even when compared to the best entries in the Yakuza series, on both narrative and gameplay side.
Javi Andrés
IGN Spain
Sega has released too many Yakuza games continued in the West, and this Judgment is mostly like them stories and gameplay. However, the plot with Yagami is exciting and investigating every corner of Kamurocho makes the game richer. A perfect first step for a new player. A different perspective for the fans.
Chris White
Judgment is a new direction for Ryu Ga Gotoku, and whilst it isn't on the same level of Yakuza just yet, there's plenty of room to grow.
Colm Ahern
VideoGamer
Judgment tinkers with the Yakuza template enough that it provides something for fans, as well as those who have always thought about visiting Kamurocho.

IATSE deal clears path for production
Hollywood's below-the-line unions and the media congloms have reached a tentative agreement on a new three-year master contract — with less than four months to go before the current pact ends on July 31.
The tentative pact was announced Friday, five weeks after talks started between the Intl. Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. If ratified by members, the new West Coast IATSE deal would go into effect on Aug. 1.
Key issue had been how to deal with the anticipated funding shortfall of more than $400 million in the pension and health plans with a $1 per hour increase to the health plan contribution, a 20% increase over the current hourly contribution rate of $5 per hour. The union made a key concession in agreeing to the first-ever premiums for health plan coverage — $25 per month for participants with one dependent and $50 for those with two or more dependents.
"Our goals going into these negotiations have been met," said IATSE president Matthew Loeb in a message to members. "We were successful in maintaining the pensions of our retirees. We achieved wage increases in each year of the agreement of 2%. The health and pension benefits that we have worked so hard for over the years have been protected and will not be reduced."
The AMPTP, which serves as the bargaining arm for the companies, said in a statement: "We understand how important health and pension benefits are to Hollywood crew members and their families and the risk posed by the projected shortfall in funding those benefits. We worked diligently with IATSE to resolve the funding crisis and keep these plans financially sound and a vital resource for participants."
The tentative agreement was reached late Thursday following a two-week break in the talks, which had been under a news blackout.
"The second round of negotiations has resulted in a fair deal that will provide employment stability, protect our health and pension plans and provide for wage increases in a fragile economy," Loeb said.
The IATSE leader said in his message that in exchange for closing the funding shortfall and the 2% annual wage increases, IATSE has agreed to concessions including an expansion of the 30-mile "studio zone" in Los Angeles; provisions in productions made for home video; and a re-allocation of 30.5 cents per hour from the Individual Account Plan to the Active Health Plan in order to help stabilize that plan during what he termed a "national health care crisis."
Loeb also noted, "Monies have been moved from the health to IAP in the past and it was necessary to do this to rebalance contributions since the health plan is now suffering." In late 2010 and early 2011 health-care costs became a dominant component in negotiations for the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, the Directors Guild of America and the Writers Guild of America. Those deals included 2% hikes in minimums, while the chief gain in each was an increase of 1.5¢ per dollar in employer contributions to the pension and health plans.
For the first time, the IATSE West Coast locals were negotiating jointly with Local 399 of the Intl. Brotherhood of Teamsters and four other Basic Crafts unions on healthcare and retirement issues while holding separate bargaining on the remainder of their contracts. The Teamsters-Basic Crafts contract talks have not been concluded — though the framework's now in place for the pension and health provisions.
IATSE and the Teamsters have been scaling up activity since last fall to heighten membership awareness on the specifics of rising health-care costs with a series of explanatory sessions for members.
Directors Guild of America president Taylor Hackford congratulated IATSE in a statement: "We applaud the IATSE negotiations committee for achieving a tentative new master contract that addresses key issues for its members, and we look forward to studying the details of the tentative agreement closely."
The IATSE deal covers 15 locals on the West Coast encompassing more than 20,000 members.
The Teamsters Local 399 covers about 3,200 drivers in 13 Western states and about 1,000 basic craft workers, while The two unions entered into a formal alliance in August 2010 — two weeks after Teamster Local 399 drivers reached a deal with the AMPTP and synched up its contract expiration with the IATSE deal.

Kuehn Malvezzi on liberating institutional design from all that is "dark, serious, and deeply moral"
Text by Laura Raskin
This spring, Berlin-based architects Johannes Kuehn, Wilfried Kuehn, and Simona Malvezzi asked Harvard Graduate School of Design students to imagine a new kind of museum for the 21st century, one that acknowledges, even if it rejects, the history and structure of the modern museum. For this, Kuehn Malvezzi's three principals connected the students with a client of sorts: German collector Julia Stoschek, who has been showing her private collection of performance and time-based art since 2007. Kuehn Malvezzi is not currently working with Stoschek, but the firm renovated a 1907 industrial building in Düsseldorf for part of her collection. Their work for curators, collectors, artists, and art institutions has constituted much of their portfolio since their founding in 2001. Last year, they converted the Prinzessinnenpalais on Berlin's Unter den Linden Boulevard into a new cultural venue for Deutsche Bank's considerable art collection. And they won the design competition for Montreal's redesigned Insectarium, now under construction.
In an introduction to the visiting critics' recent lecture at the GSD, Mark Lee, chair of the department of architecture, quoted Viennese essayist Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and related that von Hofmannsthal never felt any conflict "between the dark, serious, deeply moral Teutonic ideal, and the spritely, festive, Latin asceticism" of Vienna at the end of the 19th century. Kuehn Malvezzi's work similarly grapples with combining playfulness and gravity. Their House of One project—a mosque, synagogue, and church under the same roof—will be built on the historic foundations of one of Berlin's earliest churches, and they are collaborating with the artist Michael Riedel on a new facade for the Moderne Galerie in Saarbrücken, Germany. We spoke with Wilfried Kuehn about their studio and recent projects.
Kuehn Malvezzi's collaboration with artist Michael Riedel on a new facade for the Moderne Galerie in Saarbrücken, Germany.
Why did you choose to focus on museology for your GSD studio?
Should the museum move away from the treasure house and toward a space where it's not so much the precious object at the center, but rather the experience between visitors? We are now witnessing the fact that more and more private collectors have a lot of important work in storage and we have this huge amount of art that is not public. The class collaborated with collector Julia Stoschek, who owns the largest digital art collection in Germany and is expanding quite rapidly. She collects video and time-based media and shows them in Düsseldorf and Berlin. She's very interested in the fact that the museum could become a space that is less driven by the objects. We interacted via Skype and then our students visited her in Berlin.
A project like this challenges the whole notion of fundamentalism. It's risky to be avant-garde and not conform to the anxieties and darkest emotions available.

We challenged the students with conceptual art texts on the role of the museum in society, feminist discourse in the '60s and '70s, and art being an experience that is liberating and political, rather than just objectified. They surprised us with spaces we are not accustomed to seeing as art spaces.
The firm has a long tradition of working with artists and within the art world. Is that something you deliberately sought out?
We have been collecting art and working with artists on buildings, so our relations are manifold. I see in art not so much an addition to architecture as a tool and method to think about architecture. We have done many art and building projects where you can't disentangle the two. This is something that architects don't usually like to do, because it basically diminishes their role in many eyes. We have never thought about our role like this. We have always thought that the maximum experience is to come together with other arts. We think this is very contemporary once again because of the specialization that took place in the 20th century and the alienation of all the different fields of knowledge that need to be reassembled. And we have a good way forward with art and architecture.
Concept elevation for House of One in Berlin, by Kuehn Malvezzi
Why do you think your entry for the House of One won the competition?
Our three sacred spaces are all on one level without being the same—they are three individual extruded shapes that come from the historical floor plan. They are equal but not the same. This was what the three clergymen intuitively wanted. The other entries had less of a conceptual approach to the relationship between the three religions.
What have been your conversations around acts of terrorism that happen all too often in religious spaces? How did that play into your design and conversations if at all?
It is a conversation that took place, of course—you cannot avoid it. A project like this challenges the whole notion of fundamentalism. It's true that you have to provide minimum levels of security in order to make it a public building, but also there is the very strong idea that if we make a building that is high security through and through—like a shelter or bunker—then it would not express the idea of House of One anymore. You have to expose yourself to a certain degree and accept risk. It's risky to be avant-garde and not conform to the anxieties and darkest emotions available.
Another project, the Insectarium in Montreal, seems very different on the surface than your other work.
The Insectarium is the largest insect museum in North America. It is one of my favorite projects and one that the firm has been working on for many years. They are starting construction now [the museum is currently closed and will reopen in 2021]. It's a scientific and museological space centered on biodiversity—which is such an important theme. The whole idea of the museum is that architecture and museology meld, which is something very rare. This is why we did it. Our design brings visitors underground and then they emerge into a glass vivarium with live butterflies. Even in the cold Montreal winters you'll be in a tropical garden. It's a very experiential "parcours." The space will develop into an important hub for artistic and scientific encounters.
How would you characterize the core of your work right now?
The question of how society can live together, especially in artificial places such as the metropolis, is our theme now. We have to confront diverse societies in concentrated places. Somehow we have to find a way to live together. In the House of One, for example, each religion maintains their own identity and also reaches out to say, "We want to actively live our differences." The same openness and interest in the other has to be our way of living in cities. If we don't win that challenge, it will be very problematic to live on planet Earth, which is too small to avoid each other.

Jonah Bolden's dream of playing in the NBA is a step closer after the Philadelphia 76ers signed him to a 4-year deal, per Yahoo's Shams Charnia. The deal is reported to include a 3rd and 4th year team option.
Measuring in at 6-foot-10, Bolden is a modern-day textbook big. He may need to add strength and size to his frame, but his lateral quickness and shot blocking instincts could see him impact the floor on the defensive end. He fits the style of the play the 76ers look to employ of positionless basketball.
Bolden was selected with the 36th pick in the 2017 draft and showed plenty of promise in the 2017 NBA Summer League.
Jonah Bolden says NOT TODAY, SIR! Bolden with 9 points, 4 rebounds & 4 blocks in his Summer League debut.
After not making the 76ers 2017/18 roster, he signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv, where he played in 29 Euroleague games last season.
Bolden shot 31.9 percent on 2.5 three-point attempts per game. As seen in his past Summer League, he needs to make some tweaks to his jumper, but he looks capable of offering spacing at the five spot.
Entering the 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas there was an air of expectation that Bolden would continue to see his stock rise, but inconsistencies in his game appeared – this may have come down to a long season in the Euroleague. If this is the case, then a couple of months rest could be the best thing for the big man.
We saw some improvements and changes to his game from 12 months before though; Bolden showed the ability to handle the ball in transition and make fast, quality decisions when distributing the ball.
According to Yahoo's Shams Charnia, Richaun Holmes has been traded to the Phoenix Suns to make way Bolden on the 76ers roster.


In 1984, a man was killed in Fall River, MA. The man was stabbed to death, which was witnessed by three people. These eyewitnesses told police that the victim was seen with a 5'7" black man before the stabbing took place. One informant told police that two men, both white and about 6'0", had confessed to a woman regarding the crime. When the police brought in the woman for questioning, she insisted that the two men had come over just after the time of the murder but then stated that neither had confessed to the murder.
Police interrogated the woman for six days, using threats and intimidation. These threats included taking her children away from her and charging her as an accessory to murder. Finally, she stated that the two men had confessed to her. In court, the woman testified to this and the police told a grand jury that the woman's previous statement was not significantly different than her testimony. Her statements made up the bulk of Sullivan's case. He was convicted even though the earlier eyewitness descriptions were not mentioned. In 1986 he was sentenced to life in prison.
After the conviction, the woman recanted her statements and revealed that the confession had been coerced. Her interview tape was examined, and the conviction was reversed. Sullivan was retried in 1990 and acquitted of all charges.

Aretas I (arab.: حارثة, Haretat) – pierwszy znany z imienia król Nabatejczyków z roku 168 p.n.e.

Jego imię jest wspomniane w Piśmie Świętym. Należąca do Starego Testamentu Druga Księga Machabejska podaje, że w czasie walk o najwyższy urząd religijny i władzę nad Judeą były arcykapłan Jazon uległ obecnemu arcykapłanowi Menelaosowi oraz uciekł do kraju Ammonitów. Został on oskarżony sądownie przez Aretasa, władcę Arabów za rzeź, jakiej się dopuścił na mieszkańcach Jerozolimy. Jazon uciekał jak zbieg z kraju do kraju, aż znalazł się u Lacedemończyków. Tam ostatecznie zmarł (2 Mch, 5,8-10).

Aretas I wspominany jest także na inskrypcji z Elusy datowanej na pierwszą połowę II wieku p.n.e. Informuje ona, że "Jest to miejsce, które Nutairu wybudował dla Aretasa, króla Nabatejczyków".

Badacze są podzieleni, co do imienia jego następcy:
 (?)Malichus z około roku 144 p.n.e.
 Rabel I z około roku 140 p.n.e. Inni badacze tego króla umieszczają w pierwszej połowie I w. p.n.e., uważając go za syna Aretasa II.

The first way I styled this turtleneck is just with high waisted jeans and a belt, I love wearing a turtleneck by itself because it always makes your figure look super nice.
The second way I styled my turtle neck was with some amazing high waisted corduroy purple pants and a small cropped tank top. This look is slightly more dressy and a perfect outfit for thanksgiving.
The last way I styled my turtle neck was more sporty/ casual. I paired a grey nike tee with some grey joggers, I love the combo of turtlenecks and t-shirts, it creates the perfect way to wear your favorite tees even when its 30 degrees outside.
1. The first Item I found was this AMAZING and vintage Lee sports Miami Dolphins sweatshirt. This sweatshirt is complete with patches and the world "dolphins" On the back. I bought this for a whopping 6.97! Score for sure.
2. The next item I picked up was a great basic piece that was actually on my list of things I wanted to find at the thrift! The perfect plain white turtleneck! With winter quickly approaching turtlenecks are an essential piece to my wardrobe. They are perfect to throw under sweatshirts, tshirts, or just alone with a nice pair of jeans or a skirt. This was only about $2.00!
3. The third Item I found was this Glorious long sleeved champion tee shirt. I'm always on the lookout for some good champion pieces so when I saw this I immediately had to grab it.
6. The last item I picked up from the thrift were these amazing pair of BRAND NEW vans, now finding BRAND new shoes at the thrift store is such a dream I can barely fathom my good luck this day!
Happy thrifting to all and If you read this post, thank you so much:) and give me a follow!
If you were a teen in the late 90's and early 00's there's a very high chance you remember dELiA*s catalogs. You likely remember flipping through the pages and ogling at the cute graphic tees and comical yet adorable and perfectly stylish jewelry. Although for me… I was not a teen in the 90's more like I was born in the late 90's. I missed the whole baggy carpenter jeans and baby tees but lucky for me fashion always comes full circle. I should know.. Ive been borrowing clothes from my moms closet as they come back in style for years now! Fyi, if you haven't raided your moms closet yet I highly recommend doing so… Its like your own personal 80's thrift store right inside your home! My mom always said she was keeping her old clothes for when they came back into style, Who would have guessed shed be right! As for me I shopped at my local dELiA*s during my Junior high- Early high school years. My friends and I would venture to our local mall straight to the dELiA*s inside in order to get our perfect outfits for the birthday party or dinner plans we had later that night. Soon after beginning our Highschool careers the dELiA*s inside the mall had shut down. Soon to be replaced by a shiny new shoe store. And that, that was the end of dELiA*s as I knew it. That was until I came across a certain article on Bustle Informing me of the great revival of the clothing brand that once was. And who other to revive it than Dolls Kill.
Above shows A dELiA*s catalogue page from their spring break collection of 1998 vs a Photo of the revival by dolls kill. Dolls kill, known for their out of the box style and different approach to women's fashion in my eyes was the perfect candidate for this legendary revival. If you haven't spent a few hours scrolling through all of what the dolls kill website has to offer I suggest you do so. Yes you might find yourself breaking the bank for some new platform boots or a crazy coat you just have to have, but if that's a risk your willing to take, forge on and on my friend. Dolls kill breaks all the rules and more so makes their own. They have forged their own path in the fashion industry showing us that women are a flying powerful force and that we are each our own, with our own traits and ways we fight our battles.
After looking through each Catalogue page of vintage dELiA*s this website had to offer I decided the fashion they displayed was of a much simpler time. Although I could go on an be such a typical Gen x-er and explain how I'd much rather had been born in the 80's but…. you've heard it all before. SO instead of wishing you were born in a simpler time why not try to make the time you were born in more simple.
This summer I had the pleasure of making my way to sunny California, Venice beach specifically. I arrived in LAX for the first time and was utterly surprised by how big and insane LAX truly was. The second I stepped out of the airport and breathed that fresh ocean air I felt at home once again. See, this isn't my first time visiting the sunshine state. I had ventured to San Diego once before and cherished every second of it. I guess the thing about California is the draw it has. The place will draw you in and you wont ever want to leave, from the sandy beaches to the blue skies and perfect temperatures, to the personalities, culture, and opportunities. The vast coastlines and the mountainous terrain, there is no shortage of activities to participate in.
My time Spent in Venice Beach was short lived but by no means shortly enjoyed, I loved walking the board walk and capturing all the characters in my memory forever. I thoroughly enjoyed walking the beach in the nighttime, capturing complete solitude and peacefulness. I also LOVED the hotel we stayed in, It was called the Ellison suites. If you are looking for an authentic Venice beach experience this is it. The murals on the side of the building, rooftop views, vintage décor, and walking distance from the beach itself all come together to make an amazing Venice beach experience.

Das Seckauer Becken ist ein nördlich des österreichischen Murtales gelegenes inneralpines Becken. Hauptort ist Seckau. Im Südwesten schließt das Aichfeld an.

Geologisch liegt es an der Grenze der Nördlichen Kalkalpen zu der Grauwackenzone und ist ein Teil der Norischen Senke.

Geschichte
Das fruchtbare und wasserreiche Tal in der Weststeiermark war bereits in der vorrömischen Eisenzeit dicht besiedelt und gehörte zum Regnum Noricum, dem die Norische Senke ihren Namen verdankt. Neben der Landwirtschaft spielten damals vor allem die Tonerdevorkommen für die Herstellung von Keramik eine Rolle. Auch Eisenerzvorkommen fanden sich in der Gegend. Nach dem Zerfall des römischen Reiches kam das Tal in der Zeit der Völkerwanderung zunächst unter slawischen Einfluss, bis sich im 8. und 9. Jahrhundert dort deutsche Siedler niederließen. Um 1140 entstand das Benediktinerkloster Seckau. Örtliche Vorkommen von Sandstein erleichterten die Errichtung der großzügig dimensionierten klerikalen Einrichtungen.

Heute
Noch heute ist das Tal überwiegend land- und forstwirtschaftlich geprägt. Als weiterer wirtschaftlich bedeutender Faktor kam der Tourismus hinzu. Geologische Untersuchungen in den 1970er Jahren wiesen das Vorhandensein von Kohleflözen und Kohlegas nach, die jedoch nicht ausgebeutet werden.

Durch das Becken führt der Fernwanderweg Via Alpina (violett), der in diesem Bereich teilweise einem uralten Handelsweg von der Ostsee zur Adria folgt, der sogenannten Bernsteinroute.

At HOME in the REMOTE!!!
This Spring we will emphasize stories, poems and narratives that grapple with the idea of building a HOME in the FAR places of the WEST. Focusing on both historical and contemporary settings, especially our own immediate region of the High Plains, we will read authors that explore their relationships with this landscape, history and culture. A fundamental question that we will be addressing all semester is how does "place" affect who we are as people, and how we think of "home" within these remote spaces, and the art that speaks to those concerns. We will explore many entertaining, engaging, thought-provoking works from prominent writers of the West. This course will help you learn not only more about the region we live in, but about yourself!
*While primarily an on-campus "face to face" course, for those who cannot make it to campus or who have course conflicts, you can complete the course online. All the classroom sessions will be recorded with our ZOOM meeting tool, and students who are at a distance may have the opportunity to actually join the course in real time, if the technology permits. Students unable to meet on campus complete additional writing exercises to make up for the missed classroom sessions.

After the 1:2 defeat in Skopje, Renova failed again to convert the possession and pressure on the opponents goal and ended the Euro journey with another defeat. Israeli club Bnei Sakhnin won with 1:0.
Renova had nothing to lose after the 1:2 defeat from Skopje and went to Israel with an imperative to win and qualify for the next stage of the Intertoto Cup. The motivation was big, because Spanish giants Deportiva La Coruna waited the winner from the duel between Renova and Bnei Sakhnin.
Renova was more active in the return leg and had the possesion and tried to create chances on Bnei Sakhnin's goal but failed to creat any serios chance that can be converted in goal. In the 17th minute, Hamed Rannaim scored a wonderful goal from 25 meters. This goal brought big lead for Bnei Sakhnin on aggregate after which both teams lowered the tempo and settled with the result.

A liberal tragedy
By cutting itself off from its Christian roots, liberalism has become shrill and dogmatic
By Edward Skidelsky
Liberalism is facing a crisis. This judgment may seem extreme, given the current confidence of liberal rhetoric. Back in 1988, many liberals felt inhibited from condemning the fatwa against Salman Rushdie for fear of displaying "cultural imperialism." Who has felt any such inhibition in relation to the Taleban? Commentators openly condemn Islam as "anti-progressive." Such sentiments would have been unprintable 15 years ago. A new consensus has emerged, uniting the bellicosity of the right and the political correctness of the left. It is embodied in Tony Blair.
Yet the recent upsurge of confidence hides a deeper anxiety. We proclaim to the world the values of equality, liberty and toleration, but we have no idea on what authority we proclaim them. The older liberalism had no anxieties on this count. It derived its principles either from Christian tradition or else from the supposed attributes of human nature. Both these sources of justification have fallen into disrepute. Human rights are held to be a universal possession, not the patrimony of Christians. Yet these universal human rights are no longer grounded in a universal human nature. The classical conception of man as a rational animal, separated by an unbridgeable gulf from other animals, is condemned as "speciesism." The dominant modern theory of human nature is purely biological. It is concerned with those characteristics that we share with animals. It provides no basis for human rights.
Thus rights are no longer deduced, either theologically or philosophically. They are proclaimed. Fiat has replaced argument. Our faith in our own civilisation is without rational foundation. This accounts for the shrill, dogmatic tone of modern liberalism. Classical liberalism, as exemplified by Tocqueville, Mill and Isaiah Berlin, was discursive and philosophical. It tried to engage its opponents, to appeal to their reason and humanity. It could afford the luxury of argument, because it rested securely on an idea of human nature as benevolent and reasonable. Modern liberalism does not rest on any such conception. What is left is a set of legal claims, advanced in peremptory fashion, with no appeal to common reason. Liberalism, in short, is no longer particularly liberal.
One of the best recent attempts to restore to liberalism some of its former depth has been Larry Siedentop's influential Democracy in Europe. Siedentop argues that if liberalism is to recover its true identity it must acknowledge its roots in Christian faith. Christianity proclaims that the individual is more than whatever social position he happens to occupy, that his relationship with God constitutes a "primary" identity in contrast to other "secondary" identities: "there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian… but Christ is all, and in all." All existing social relations are thus open to criticism; none is ultimate. Siedentop sees this principle working itself out in European history, undermining the moral foundations first of slavery and then of serfdom. Christianity endowed Europe with "a kind of constitution, a sense of the limits of the legitimate use of public power, limits established by moral rights."
Yet if liberalism is the inheritor of Christianity, why is it so reluctant to acknowledge its debt? Why have the liberal movements of the last 200 years been secular in inspiration? Siedentop regards the separation of liberalism from Christianity as an unfortunate accident. The church-particularly the Catholic church-became identified with "the stratified society based on privilege." It thereby violated its own principle of "equal liberty." Henceforth this principle took a secular form.
Yet the estrangement of liberalism from Christianity was surely more than an accident. It followed an inexorable logic. The universalism of the Christian proclamation had to burst the bounds of Christian doctrine and ritual. Christianity, to be true to itself, had to transcend itself. No one saw this with greater clarity than the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Just as Christianity had transcended the exclusivity of Judaism, opening up salvation to Jew and gentile alike, so it must now, argued Bonhoeffer, transcend its own exclusivity. Bonhoeffer saw that the church had not risen to the challenge of the age. In its confrontation with totalitarianism, it had sacrificed the universal cause of humanity to the preservation of its privileges. It became nothing more than one corporation among others. Bonhoeffer was executed by the Nazis. He died, appropriately, not as a Christian martyr but as a political dissident.
Christianity's fate, then, is to abolish itself, to dissolve into liberalism. But is this fate happy or tragic? And can liberalism itself survive, once severed from its Christian roots? Does it have an independent source of life, or is it living off its religious inheritance? Siedentop himself is optimistic. Liberalism, he writes, is a "purged" form of Christianity, preserving the ethical content of Christianity while discarding its mythological form. Christianity is a preliminary, an imperfect first shot at liberal constitutionalism. It was Hegel who first defended Christianity as a prototype of the constitutional state. Writing after the horrors of Jacobinism, his aim was to make liberals conscious of their debt to the past, thereby encouraging a more peaceful transition from tradition to modernity. Siedentop's aim is similar. Like Hegel, he is in no doubt that religion belongs to the infancy of the human race.
But these theories betray a shallow conception of religion. Liberalism is not the essence or fulfilment of Christianity; it is its shadow. It substitutes for the concrete life of faith a set of abstract formulae. It is a sketch, an outline, a pr?cis of religion. If Christianity is poetry, then liberalism is the prose translation. Christianity is first and foremost a narrative. It tells the story of man's fall, his bondage to sin and the law, his redemption from sin and the law and his restoration to grace. This narrative is no mere allegory; it is the primary reality of our lives. Liberalism extracts from this narrative a few catchphrases-"freedom," "dignity," "equality"-and sets them up as ultimate principles. These phrases have become a secular litany; they are incanted endlessly at international summits. But detached from the context which once gave them meaning, they appear increasingly arbitrary.
A good example of this is the anti-racism movement of recent years. The original US civil-rights movement was religious in inspiration; it drew its strength from the Christian vision of human brotherhood. But its modern inheritor is resoundingly secular. It is no longer inspired by a positive vision of humanity, but-as the designation "anti-racism" suggests-by the merely negative goal of "eliminating discrimination." Yet in the absence of any positive ideal, the justification for this negative goal is no longer clear. Human equality is a religious, or at least a metaphysical proposition. Natural science offers it no unambiguous support. Even if the races are equal in intelligence-and it is not clear that they are-this is no more than a biological fact. It carries no implications for moral or civic equality.
Because our civilisation no longer rests on a positive ideal, it can define itself only negatively. This accounts for the increasing prominence of the holocaust in political rhetoric. Holocaust memorials and remembrance days are the rites of a new state religion. Like all state religions, it aims to create unity. But we are joined, not in the worship of an ultimate good, but in the execration of an ultimate evil.
The cult of the holocaust signifies the negative character of our civilisation. Liberal freedom has become nothing more than "freedom from…" tradition, from authority, from Nazism. But in the absence of any positive ideal to support it, the liberal proclamation of individual freedom looks increasingly like a mere licence to selfishness. That is often how it seems to members of other cultures; this is what they mean by the "decadence" of the west. Religious freedom, by contrast, is what Berlin termed "positive freedom." It denotes not only absence of constraint but a positive ideal of holiness. The ultimate Christian ideal is not freedom but love. Without love, freedom is empty self-assertion. If the liberal ideal of freedom is to represent something more than licence, then it must recover its original religious meaning.
But how? Christianity had to secularise itself in obedience to its own fundamental principle of universality. Today, this moral imperative has been joined by practical considerations. With non-Christian minorities living within their borders, western states can hardly return to Christian confession. In a world divided by religious strife, only a secular form of liberalism can underpin international order.
Thus the fate of liberalism is-in the precise sense the word-tragic. A tragic fate is one that proceeds not from external and accidental causes, but according to an inexorable internal logic. This is precisely the situation of liberalism. It must sever itself from its historical roots in Christianity, yet in doing so it severs itself from the source of its own life. Liberalism must follow a course that leads directly to its own atrophy. It must extirpate itself.

Why I chose to study classics

Hi there, in this video we're going to talk about RGB versus CMYK. You might have come across this, you might have not. It's kind of essential, I guess, to understand the basics, so let's cover them quickly.
So when you're setting up a new document you're given the option to pick RGB or CMYK. So if I go to 'Print', and pick one of the defaults it's going to-- you might not have this viewable, you might have to click 'Advanced Options'. By default it's going to go to CMYK. If I go something like Web, or Film, or pretty much, any of the other ones, and I pick one of these, it's going to default to RGB. So RGB is a color which is Red, Green, and Blue. Basically those are the colors used for screens to display color.
So my laptop in front of me right now uses a mixture of Red, Green, and Blue to generate the colors that we see, but we know that if we use our printer, the one on our desk, if we have a look, it's going to use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, that's CMYK, it uses those colors to mix together. The big difference is, RGB has a secret ingredient, it has light, luminescence. It has light coming out of the screen that allows it to generate more colors than CMYK can. You'd probably have tried it before, you've printed an image that looked great on screen, but the print's a bit washed out because your screen has light coming out of it, whereas the paper from your printer has no lights. So it's a different kind of color mode. RGB is a bigger gamut of color, CMYK is a smaller one.
Now why would you use both? Basically RGB, as a rule is probably your best one to use for everything at the moment. Especially if you're going to use something that's going out via email, or via website. Even if it's going to print, it's probably going to be dual use, so many things, are these days, you'd probably going to want to use it for both your website, to be downloaded, and to be going to commercial print. If it's something you're creating like a postcard that's going to commercial print only, you might want to consider using CMYK, but in that case as well, my experience is that most modern printers will expect RGB. They've got some cool reps and ways of kind of making, I guess, getting the most out of their CMYK. So often, just use RGB, it's going to be your-- if you're unsure, just use RGB. If you're a little bit more professional, you probably know this already then. And you can use CMYK.
Now, let's have a little look at the differences between the two. Let's go to 'File', 'Open'. In here there's one called 'Colors.ai', open that up. So this my RGB document, how do I know? The easiest way, up in the tab here, you can see, it's RGB. The way to change it, let's say I want to be in CMYK, I can go to 'File', there's one called 'Document Color Mode'. You can see, I've ticked RGB. Watch what happens when I change to CMYK. Watch the colors, watching the colors. They wash out quite a bit. It's giving you representation now of what it would look like in CMYK. Now if you're only going to commercial print and they've asked for CMYK there's no point being in RGB, but if you're like me, I often dual use things, I'll use it for all sorts of things. I'll start in RGB, and often just send it to the printer in RGB, and depending on your printer, they've got really good ways of converting it to CMYK to try and restore some of those colors. I hope that's giving you a little bit of understanding of CMYK and RGB.
So the rules are, my basic kind of rules are, use RGB and send it around, it works fine. It works on digital, and works good for printing to local kind of printers. Even my office printer accepts in RGB better, and processes it nicer than if I send them a proper CMYK official version. But you need to know the difference between the two. Some printers will demand CMYK, and that's fine, that's the way they work. So just make sure you're working in CMYK. You might have to have two versions of the document, one in RGB for digital, and another one in CMYK. All right, let's get into some more exciting stuff about color. Let's get into the next video.

Settling the Frontier: Urban Development in America's Borderlands, 1600–1830
Joseph P. Alessi
Westholme Publishing, 2020
The Role of Indigenous People in the Founding of America's First Major Border Towns
In 1811, while escorting members of John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company up the Columbia River, their Chinookan guide refused to advance beyond a particular point that marked a boundary between his people and another indigenous group. Long before European contact, Native Americans created and maintained recognized borders, ranging from family hunting and fishing properties to larger tribal territories to vast river valley regions. Within the confines of these respective borders, the native population often established permanent settlements that acted as the venues for the major political, economic, and social activities that took place in virtually every part of precolonial North America. It was the location of these native settlements that played a major role in the establishment of the first European, and later, American frontier towns.
In Settling the Frontier: Urban Development in America's Borderlands, 1600–1830, historian Joseph P. Alessi examines how the Pecos, Mohawk, Ohioan, and Chinook tribal communities aided Europeans and Americans in the founding of five of America's earliest border towns—Santa Fe (New Mexico), Fort Amsterdam (New York City), Fort Orange (Albany, New York), Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), and Fort Astoria (Portland, Oregon). Filling a void in scholarship about the role of Native American communities in the settlement of North America, Alessi reveals that, although often resistant to European and American progress or abused by it, Indians played an integral role in motivating and assisting Europeans with the establishment of frontier towns. In addition to the location of these towns, the native population was often crucial to the survival of the settlers in unfamiliar and unforgiving environments. As a result, these new towns became the logistical and economic vanguards for even greater development and exploitation of North America.
