Recently, Mayor Ostenburg and the Board of Trustees took official action to establish a Park Forest Veterans Commission. The Park Forest Veterans Commission aims to study all matters impacting the quality of life for area veterans in the hopes of again making Park Forest a community of first choice for servicemen and women. Additionally, the Commission will report findings, make recommendations to elected officials, and assist in the coordination of veterans programming. The Veterans Commission will consist of the following:
Nine members of the community will make-up the commission.
Appointees will be representative of veterans serving as far back as World War II up to present-day conflicts.
Appointments will be in staggered three-year terms. Original appointments to the Veterans Commission will include three appointments to one-year terms, three appointments to two-year terms, and three appointments to three-year terms.
A chairperson and vice chairperson shall be appointed annually.

DePaul University Art Museum, 935 West Fullerton, Chicago
'Liminal Infrastructure' – Through August 9
A massive shipping container rolled through Chicago last fall, but instead of carrying cargo, it was taking stunning photographs of the city and its surrounding waterways. The resulting images are part of the exhibition, 'Liminal Infrastructure,' that will be on display at the DePaul Art Museum through August 9. Organized in collaboration with the Chicago Humanities Festival, the photographs were created using one of the world's largest pinhole cameras, the Liminal Camera, by artists Lauren Bon, Richard Nielsen and Tristan Duke during their exploration of the Great Lakes region last October. The exhibition will include large-scale photographs of the Chicago landscape, measuring up to 8 feet on the longest side, according to Harris. The dramatic proportions are uniquely suited for extreme horizontal and vertical photos. Perfect for the prairie city that gave birth to the skyscraper, he said. The photos on display are part of the latest chapter of the Liminal Camera's expedition across the Great Lakes region. During the Chicago Humanities Festival last fall, the artists invited people inside the Liminal Camera to experience the camera obscura technique in action and to see how they perform the photographic process. On May 14 at 4:30 p.m., the artists will recount their experience and unveil the photographs they took with the Liminal Camera in and around Chicago last fall. A public reception will follow beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event is part of the Chicago Humanities Festival 2015 spring schedule and is free and open to the public. The DePaul Art Museum is located just east of the CTA's Fullerton 'L' stop, is open Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. For more on the DePaul Art Museum's upcoming exhibitions and events, call 773-325-7506 or visit http://bit.ly/DPAM15.
'Glowing Wavelengths In Between' – Through August 9
The DePaul Art Museum will be artist Sonja Thomsen's 'Glowing Wavelengths In Between,' through August 9. In her exhibition, Thomsen utilizes an array of materials that refract and reflect light as means to creative discovery. The resulting pieces are vibrant color photographs, immersive photographic murals and faceted metallic sculptures. Thomsen's layered works create an interactive experience for the viewer that provokes an awareness of light, space and time. The exhibit is free and open to the public. The DePaul Art Museum is located just east of the CTA's Fullerton 'L' stop, is open Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

National Veterans Art Museum, 4041 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago
NVAM to Observe Memorial Day 2015 with New Exhibition – Through August 28
The National Veterans Art Museum (NVAM) will exhibit The Joe Bonham Project through August 28. The Joe Bonham Project aims to keep the dedication, sacrifices and indomitable spirit of our wounded warriors present and accounted for with more than a hundred drawings and illustrations created during the time spent patients at VA Hospitals throughout the United States. The Joe Bonham Project is named after the central character in Dalton Trumbo's 1938 novel Johnny Got His Gun. Joe loses all his limbs and his face to an artillery explosion, yet survives only to be eventually 'warehoused' beyond human interaction. Featuring artwork created in a variety of media by fifteen combat and civilian artists, The Joe Bonham Project seeks to show the real face of war and its aftermath to the public with images that portray the realities and human consequences of combat. Several of the artists in The Joe Bonham Project are seasoned war artists including Michael Fay, Richard Johnson, Steve Mumford, Kristopher Battles, Victor Juhasz, Roman Genn, and Robert Bates. Other artists, such as Jeffery Fisher, Fred Harper, Jess Ruliffson, Ray Alma, Bill Harris, and Josh Korenblat, have friends and family who have, or are currently serving in the armed forces. Working primarily at in-patient surgical shock-trauma wards, these artists have spent significant amounts of time with some of the most physically battle damaged soldiers, sailors and Marines. Most have endured multiple traumatic amputation injuries and disfiguring facial wounds, and will endure months of operations and challenging physical therapy. With them on this journey back to wholeness are often equally traumatized family members. All have volunteered to be sketched. For additional information, call 312-326-0270 or visit: www.nvam.org.
'The Things They Carried' – Permanent Exhibit
The National Veterans Art Museum reopened its permanent exhibit 'The Things They Carried' in a brand new gallery space meant to be more immersive for viewers. Inspired by Tim O'Brien's book 'The Things They Carried,' this exhibit serves as a visual companion that illustrates the narrative with fine art and photography from veterans that lived the stories in the novel. Much like the book, the exhibit explores the concept of storytelling and questions how one might share the story of the Vietnam experience. The exhibit takes as its central question "how to tell a true war story" and prompts viewers to consider their personal stories and contemplate how they might share their own narratives. By literally incorporating the essential elements of storytelling: Who, Where, When, and What, 'The Things They Carried' begins by chronicling the Vietnam conflict through first-hand visual accounts and descriptions. The exhibit culminates in the re-creation of an authentic Vietnam-era tented shelter to bring viewers into the intimate physical experience of sleeping, living and working in the field during that time. With artworks and objects created and collected by over twenty Vietnam veteran artists, 'The Things They Carried' also provides visual interpretations to viewers, illustrating the war by those who were there. This form of pictorial storytelling offers insights into the individual personalities of those who served, where they were in Vietnam both geographically and environmentally, and what the cultural climate of the time looked like. Representations and artifacts come together in 'The Things They Carried' to offer an individuated and holistic presentation of the social and historical context of the Vietnam War. With didactic guides and lesson plans that accompany the artwork and artifacts, visitors of all ages can gain a better understanding of "how to tell a true war story" as explored in Tim O'Brien's book, as well as explore possibilities and benefits of personal storytelling. Featured artists include László Kondor, Dean Sharp, Charles Shobe, William Myles, James McJunkin, John Hosier, Michael Harac, and Arthur Jacobs. The Museum is open Tuesdays – Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and offers free admission year-round. For additional information, call 312-326-0270 or visit: www.nvam.org.

Now, in a new exhibit that runs through Aug. 28 at Roosevelt University's Gage Gallery, the public can experience what the golden age of photography and design once was like at one of the nation's leading alternative weeklies, the Chicago Reader. Featuring 80 black-and-white photographs taken between 1971 and 2004 by more than a dozen photographers who were freelancers for the Chicago Reader during its golden age, the exhibit is the largest group photo show ever presented at Gage. More than just a photo exhibit, Chicago Reader in Black & White features famous layouts from the alternative weekly including "Faces of AIDS," which was an in-depth, four-page look at AIDS hospice care in Chicago at the height of the AIDS crisis. A short documentary with the views of 14 former freelance Chicago Reader photographers also is part of the exhibit. The exhibit is the final installation in Gage Gallery's yearlong Above the Fold: 10 Decades of Chicago Photojournalism series that is sponsored by Roosevelt's College of Arts and Sciences and made possible by the generosity of donor Susan Rubnitz.

Open Auditions for 'Play On!' – July 8 & 9
The PAC Rats Theatre Company of SSC will hold open auditions for the hilarious Rick Abbot comedy, Play On! The auditions will take place on July 8th and 9th beginning at 7:00 p.m. Readings will be held in the Kindig Performing Arts Center on the college's Main Campus in South Holland. Amateur dramatics takes a good-natured ribbing in this behind-the-scenes comedy about the perils of community theatre. A theatre troupe is mounting of a local playwright's original murder mystery. With no royalty fees to pay, the company thinks it got a great deal until the playwright continues to interrupt the rehearsal process with constant rewrites and changes. To add to the problems, the cast and crew are starting to get on each other's nerves. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show with bickering actors, bumbling crew and backstage romances in full swing; Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is opening night where anything that can go wrong does. Director Catherine Hundt of Thornton, will cast 10 ensemble actors of all colors and sizes, ranging in age from 18 to 70 plus. Hundt is planning evening rehearsals. Performances are scheduled for September 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 2015. Auditions are open to all community members as well as SSC students. Appointments and prepared audition materials are not necessary. Auditioners will read from scenes, which will be available at the time of auditions. Copies of the script are on reserve in the SSC Library. Everyone is welcome to attend both auditions. Auditioners must also be prepared to list all conflicts with the rehearsal schedule. In addition to acting talent, the PAC Rats are also looking for volunteers who want to try their hands backstage. "Putting on a play takes a lot of hands," said Hundt. "We hope that those who aren't ready to step on stage will enjoy painting and building scenery, sewing costumes or making props."

Menkaure came to the throne in 2490 BC after a short rule of the Pharaoh Baka (the last legitimate successor of Sneferu). Menkaure inherited a kingdom weaken from the inside and drained because of expensive monumental tombs of his predeccessors, but also because of folk uprising and religious and dynasty fights. Also the royal power lost its status, therefore he had to renew the previous position of the Pharaoh - God after his coming to the throne.
Pyramid of Menkaure "Divine is Menkaure" far smaller than his predeccessors. It is of less quality, but according to some reports it was the most beautiful pyramid in the whole necropolis. It consisted of 2 types of facing, the first 15 meters were made of red Aswan granite and the upper portion was cased with white limestone. The original facing was preserved till 16th century.
The pyramid of Menkaure occupied the area of scant ¼ of Khafre's pyramid in comparison with previous pyramids, it means 1.179 ha. Menkaure's pyramid is situated to the north-south, the lenght of original sides is 108.61 meters and doesn't vary much from recent 104.6 meters. Its original height wasn't far higher neither - original height was 66.45 meters against recent 62.18 meters. The top of the pyramid seems to be cut off, analogous to the neighbouring pyramids. Its angle of wall incline is 51º 20".
The complex in the pyramid's surroundings was built in 2 phases. Limestone was used in the first phase (Menkaure was still alive at that time) and dried bricks were used in the second one (finished by Shepseskaf). The chantry temple didn't adjoin to the pyramid and was finished hurriedly. Remains of a chapel built under Shepseskaf rule are situated between it and the pyramid. He also let build a covered ramp, which didn't go out of the chantry temple interior as usual. The temple was settled in the past and under the 5th dynasty rule it was damaged seriously with stormwater.

Q: Why is $2^{n}-1=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k$? Recently I discovered that $2^{n}-1=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k$. As I don't have a math background, please tell me what this is called and a proof of why this is the case.

A: It isn't.
$2^n - 1 = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k$ or equivalently $2^n = 1 + \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k$.
The offset of $1$ is important and unavoidable.
As for why, I STRONGLY suggest you play around with it on your own until you make up your own "aha" moment that works for you.
Trust me... you will have one.
.... but .... this one was mine:
$2^n = 2*2^{n-1} =$
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-1} = $
$2^{n-1} + 2*2^{n-2} =$
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + 2^{n-2} =$
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + 2*2^{n-3} = $
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + 2^{n-3} + 2^{n-3} =$
........
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + 2^{n-3} +..... + 8 + 4 + 2 + 2=$
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + 2^{n-3} +..... + 8 + 4 + 2 +1+1=$
$(2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + 2^{n-3} +..... + 8 + 4 + 2 +1)+1=$
$(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k) + 1$.
That was my "aha" moment...
Ohter people have this one:
$1 + (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + .........  + 2^{n-1}) = $
$(1 + 1) + (2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ........ + 2^{n-1}) =$
$2 + (2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ....... + 2^{n-1})=$
$(2 + 2) + (4 + 8 + 16 + ....... + 2^{n-1}) =$
$4 + (4 + 8 + 16 + ......  +2^{n-1}) = $
$(4+4) + (8 + 16 + ...... + 2^{n-1}) =$
$8 + (8 + 16 + ..... + 2^{n-1}) = $
$(8+8) + (16 + ...... + 2^{n-1}) =$
$16 + (16 + ... + 2^{n-1})=$
$(16 + 16) + (..... + 2^{n-1}) = $
$32 + (.... + 2^{n-1})=$.
.... now clearly we can do this indefinately as each step is just ....
$2^k + (2^k + 2^{k+1} + .....) = $
$(2^k +2^k) + (2^{k+1} + ..... ) = $
$2*2^k + (2^{k+1} + ....) =$
$2^{k+1} + (2^{k+1} + ...) =$.
and it is "so clear it is obvious to anyone but a complete dope" that we just adding up two copies of a power of two... which is two times the power of two .... which is two the the next power of two.... which we then combine with the next....
So we just do that until we get to the end....
$2^{n-3} + (2^{n-3} + 2^{n-2} + 2^{n-1})=$
$(2^{n-3} + 2^{n-3}) + (2^{n-2} + 2^{n-1})=$
$2*2^{n-3} +  (2^{n-2} + 2^{n-1})=$
$2^{n-2} + (2^{n-2} + 2^{n-1})=$
$(2^{n-2} + 2^{n-2}) + 2^{n-1}=$
$2*2^{n-2} + 2^{n-1} =$
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-1} =$
$2*2^{n-1} =$
$2^n$.
So ........
$1 + \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k = 2^n$.
That's my aha way of looking at it.
....
And  there are others.
find yours
.....
A common but subtle idea is $(2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + ...... + 2 + 1)=$
$1 \cdot (2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + ...... + 2 + 1)=$
$(2-1)(2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + ...... + 2 + 1)=$
$(2^n + 2^{n-1} + ..... + 4 + 2) -(2^{n-1} + 2^{n-2} + ...... + 2 + 1)=$
$2^n + (2^{n-1} + ..... + 4 + 2) - (2^{n-1} + ..... + 4 + 2) - 1=$
$2^n -1$
That works for some...

A: Has anyone ever seen this proof anywhere? ( Different to geometric series proof)
in base 2: $$\underbrace{11\cdots 11}_{n\text{}} = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k$$
the next number after $\underbrace{11\cdots 11}_{n\text{}} $ is ${1\underbrace{0\cdots 0}_{n\text{}}} = 2^n$
so
$\underbrace{11\cdots 11}_{n\text{}} +1  = 2^n$
or
$\underbrace{11\cdots 11}_{n\text{}} = 2^n -1$
$$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k  = 2^n -1$$
so in base $x$ we get
$$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} x^k  = x^n -1$$
with the additional benefit of having defined the next number in any base (integer, complex, matrix etc. )

A: As Hayden has pointed out, the correct expression is $2^n-1=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} 2^k.$
So to see this, let's first name the sum $S:=1+2^1+\dots+2^{n-2}+2^{n-1}.$
The 'trick' is to multiply the sum by $1$ in a clever way such that we can cancel some terms. Since $2=2-1$, we can say this:
$$
S=1+2^1+\dots+2^{n-2}+2^{n-1}\\
\implies\\
1\times S = \left(2-1\right)\times \left(1+2^1+\dots+2^{n-2}+2^{n-1}\right)\\
S=2\times\left(1+2^1+\dots+2^{n-2}+2^{n-1}\right)\\
-1\times\left(1+2^1+\dots+2^{n-2}+2^{n-1}\right)\\
= \left(2^1+2^2+\dots+2^{n-1}+2^{n}\right)\\
-\left(1+2^1+\dots+2^{n-2}+2^{n-1}\right)\\
= 2^n-1.
$$
Hope this helps!
Stay safe

A: For all positive integer $n$ :$$\begin{align}2^n&=\sum_{k=0}^{n}2^k-\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k&&=(1+2+\cdots+2^{n-1}+2^n)-(1+2+\cdots+2^{n-1})\\[1ex]&=1+\sum_{k=1}^{n}2^k-\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k&&=1+(2+\cdots+2^{n-1}+2^n)-(1+2+\cdots+2^{n-1})\\[1ex]&=1+2\sum_{k=1}^n2^{k-1}-\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k&&=1+2(1+2+\cdots+2^{n-1})-(1+2+\cdots+2^{n-1})\\[1ex]&=1+2\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k-\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k\\[1ex]&=1+\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k&&=1+(1+2+\cdots+2^{n-1})\\[3ex]\therefore\quad\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}2^k&=2^n-1\end{align}$$

A: This is an observation I made myself as a kid and I proved a version of the formula. It's quite easy to do. This is called a geometric series. You start with a first term, then the rule is that the next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a fixed constant. The individual terms are called a geometric "sequence", but the sum of all the terms from first to last (in a finite list of terms) is called a geometric series.
The formula is easy to prove. The usual notation for the constant number you multiply each term by is $r$, denoting the "common ratio".
Let's say we have the series: $S(n) = 1 + r + r^2 + r^3 + ...+ r^{n-2} + r^{n-1}$. (series 1)
Note that the argument on the left is $n$ because you're summing $n$ terms on the right.
Now, let's multiply every individual term in the series by $r$. Note that this has the effect of multiplying the entire series by $r$.
$rS(n) = r + r^2 + r^3 + ... r^{n-1} + r^{n}$. (series $2$)
What happens if you take the old series and subtract it from the new one (series $2$ - series $1$)? Note that only the first term in the series $1$ and the last term in series $2$ are "unmatched" and will therefore "survive". All the middle terms vanish.
So you're left with: $rS(n) - S(n)= r^n - 1$
Rearrange that to: $S(n) = \frac{r^n-1}{r-1}$, and you've got your geometric series sum formula. If you put $r = 2$ into that formula, you will reproduce your original observation (with the small correction that others have mentioned), but of course, this is applicable to all $r$.
Note that in the usual statement of the formula, they assume the first term to be $a$ rather than $1$ as I stipulated above. This simply has the effect of mutiplying the entire series by $a$, so the formula is most often stated in texts as $S(n) = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$. Not that relevant to your specific question here, but I thought you should know, in order to avoid confusion in the future.

A: Well, here is a simple proof using telescopic sums :
Let $ n $ be a positive integer, we have the following : $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{2^{k}}=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{2^{k}\left(2-1\right)}=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{\left(2^{k+1}-2^{k}\right)}=2^{n}-1 $$

A: This is called a geometric series.  One way to prove the formula is mathematical induction.
First we check the formula (corrected the left side with $-1)$  for $n=1$:  indeed, $2^1-1=2^0.$
Now we assume it's true for $n=m$ (i.e., $2^m-1=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{m-1}2^k$),
and we show it's then true for $n=m+1$:
$2^{m+1}-1=2^m+2^m-1=2^m+\sum\limits_{k=0}^{m-1}2^k=\sum\limits_{k=0}^{m}2^k.$
Therefore, it's true for $n=1, n=1+1=2, n=2+1=3, n=3+1=4, \dots$

Q: change network 'Use packet data' API Possible Solutions here : How to disable Mobile Data on Android
In http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.html we see how we can query different network availability. is there a way to tell the device to not use GPRS/ other data?
Want a way to do what happens in the settings/Wireless and networks/Mobile networks when you toggle 'Use packet data'

Want API to disable the cellular one, not the WIFI. WIFI is already off. Want it to remain off. goal is to give a quicker UI to switch 'Use packet data' off and on, without changing anything else via my application which the user can keep a shortcut too or configure to switch of packet data at certain times of the day or under other conditions

A: If the wifi connection is established, it will get precedence over cellular networks like 2G and 3G. Once the wifi connection is broken, the android system will look for cellular connection if it is enabled and connected.
You can use the following code to disable/enable wifi adapter on the android
private void networkChangeTest() {

    if(wifiManager.isWifiEnabled()) {
        wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
    } else wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);

}

If the wifi is enabled it will be switched off and if it is enabled, it will be switched on. When the wifi is disabled, the android system will automatically shift to cellular data connection.
Only one data connection(wifi/cellular) can be active at one time on the android system.
Update :
This link shows how to enable/disable packet(cellular) data option :

Wealden District Council > Licences and Registers > Licensing > Taxi and private hire licensing > Dual Driver Licences > Apply for a Dual Driver Licence > Dual Drivers and Immigration Act 2016
Dual Drivers and Immigration Act 2016
The Immigration Act 2016 introduces new sanctions to tackle illegal migration and illegal working.
Since 12 July 2016:
It has been a criminal offence to work in the UK illegally, with the consequence that wages paid to illegal workers may be seized as the proceeds of crime.
The offence of employing an illegal worker has been strengthened, so that it is possible to prosecute employers who employ someone they know, or have reasonable cause to believe, is an illegal worker. They also now face a maximum custodial sentence of five years.
From 1 December 2016:
There will be a power to close premises for up to 48 hours if an employer operating at the premises repeatedly flouts the law by employing illegal workers, and immigration officers will be able to apply to the court for a compliance order which may impose special measures on the employer to prevent illegal working.
Private hire and hackney carriage licence applications will be subject to immigration checks. This will prevent licences being issued to anyone who does not have the right to work in the UK.
Preventing illegal working in the private hire and hackney carriage sector
From 1 December 2016, immigration checks will be a mandatory part of the licensing regime for taxis and private hire vehicles, under section 37 and Schedule 5 to the Act. Applicants will need to provide evidence of their right to work in the UK, and licences will not be issued to those who do not have the right to work. Where immigration permission is time-limited, a licence will not be issued for a period that exceeds this period. Where the holder of a licence breaches immigration laws, this will be grounds to review, suspend or revoke a licence. If immigration permission is cut short, the holder of the licence will be committing an offence if they do not return the licence to the licensing authority, for which they may be fined.
The offence of illegal working
It is now a criminal offence to work illegally in the UK, as a result of section 34 of the Act. A person commits this offence if they are subject to UK immigration control and work when they know, or have reasonable cause to believe, that they have no permission to do so.
As well as work under a contract of employment, the offence of illegal working also applies to self-employment, and covers both informal as well as formal working arrangements.
The new offence enables wages from illegal working to be seized as the proceeds of crime. In England and Wales, the offence carries a maximum penalty of six months' imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

Love, Again: The Wisdom of Unexpected Romance (Hardcover)
By Eve Pell
In "Love, Again, " Eve Pell beautifully and thoughtfully concludes that life experience adds dimensions to the art of connection and that we all stand to learn something from unexpected romance.
"How do old people meet new loves?"
Eve Pell was 68 when she convinced a friend to set her up with Sam Hirabayashi. Ten years her senior, Sam, a fellow runner, was handsome and sweet. Soon Eve and Sam were plunged into a giddy romance that began with a movie date. It was crazy, Pell writes. It was wonderful.
Pell wrote about their romance in a "New York Times" Modern Love column and received a wave of responses from people who recognized their own stories in hers. This thing, this late-in-life love: It's growing, it's everywhere, and it's transformative.
In staggering numbers, old people are meeting and falling in love in senior living facilities, in retirement homes, in bars, in grocery stores, on cruise ships, on the Internet brazenly, quietly, unexpectedly. People once written off as too old for intimacy are having romances, beginning intense affairs once thought to be for the young.
Part memoir, part journey to a new frontier, "Love, Again" is illuminating and heartwarming. Speaking with poets and artists, a retired nurse and a retired coach, environmentalists, philanthropists, and teachers couples whose partners ages range from 61 to 96 Pell reports on their relationships, from saying hello to knowing they d found the one, from blending routines and traditions to overcoming judgments and challenges. These widows, widowers, divorces, and never-marrieds open up about old love versus young, the thrill of sex, and the looming shadow of mortality.
At the core of this book is wisdom: what we all can learn from the experience, regardless of age.
Fall in love with who someone is now not who they someday might be.
Always be honest, but don t feel pressure to share everything.
And most of all: The heart can continue to expand.
Advance praise for "Love, Again"
A heartwarming, eye-opening, life-affirming journey to the finalfrontier of romance, this is a beautiful book about the possibility of late-in-life love and the life-changing lessons we all can learn from those who have been lucky enough to find it. Katie Couric
Eve Pell scareer as an investigative reporter served her in discovering such couples and learning their stories, which, along with her own love story, she imparts with fluency and zest. "Love, Again" is a joy to read, full of humor and heart and sweet collective wisdom, a book for all ages. Susan Trott, author of the Holy Man Trilogy
I remarried at 75 and have followed one hundred marriages from age 50 on. Eve Pell knows what she is talking about. Her book is touching, eye-opening, inspiring, and wise. In addition, it is beautifully written. George E. Vaillant, M.D., author of "Triumphs of Experience: The Men of the Harvard Grant Study"
In this inspiring exploration of fifteen late-in-life romances, Eve Pell illustrates the human appetite and capacity for romantic love at any age. As these men and women widowed and divorced, gay and straight share their stories of forging deep connections in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and, yes, 90s, they deliver a heartwarming message: We are never too old for new love. Jill Smolowe, author of "Four Funerals and a Wedding: Resilience in a Time of Grief.
Eve Pell is the author of the acclaimed memoir "We Used to Own the Bronx," in which she detailed her upbringing in a prestigious New York family and how she left that world of privilege for a career as an investigative reporter. She went on to report for three award-winning PBS documentaries and is an award-winning writer published in the "San Francisco Chronicle, The Nation, Ms., Runner s World," and other publications. She is a former staff reporter at the Center for Investigative Reporting, taught journalism at San Francisco State University, and has won gold medals in international senior track and field competitions. She lives in San Francisco."

Wielkie oczy () – amerykański film biograficzny z 2014 roku w reżyserii Tima Burtona o życiu amerykańskiej malarki Margaret Keane. Scenariusz opracowali Scott Alexander i Larry Karaszewski.

W głosowaniu na forum internetowego serwisu Movie Database film zdobył 7 na 10 gwiazdek.

Fabuła
Walter Keane uważa się za artystę. Stał się słynny dzięki obrazom, przedstawiającym dzieci z poważnym, smutnym, zamyślonym wyrazem twarzy i charakterystycznymi "wielkimi oczami". Przedstawiał się jako ich twórca. Obrazy były sygnowane u dołu podpisem "KEANE". Postaci dzieci z "wielkimi oczami" pojawiały się masowo jako reprodukcje, w czasopismach, na kartkach pocztowych itp. W. Keane rozpoczął masową produkcję wydruków obrazów. Można je było kupić w supermarketach i na stacjach benzynowych. Obrazy olejne zamawiali bogaci przedsiębiorcy, politycy, gwiazdy show-biznesu. W. Keane stał się celebrytą, gwiazdą talk-show, wywiadów telewizyjnych, artykułów prasowych i spotkań organizacji charytatywnych. Otworzył własną galerię, urządzał przyjęcia dla wpływowych i znanych osób. Jednak prawdziwą autorką tych popularnych obrazów była jego żona, Margaret Keane, która jak niewolnik, w tajemnicy, w ukrytej pracowni malarskiej (tak to Walter zorganizował) je malowała. Pewnego dnia wyjawiła prawdę opinii publicznej. Sprawa znalazła się w sądzie. Podczas rozprawy, nie mogąc dojść prawdy, sędzia zarządził swego rodzaju test: obydwoje, Walter i Margaret, otrzymali identyczne przybory malarskie i na sali sądowej mieli namalować portret dziecka z "wielkimi oczami". Margaret namalowała, Walterowi przeszkodziła "dawna kontuzja ramienia". Nie namalował niczego.

Hospital helps keep high school athletes healthy
MARY BRADBERRY
For more than a decade, Englewood Community Hospital has been offering free annual physicals to local students who participate in school sports.
On May 21, more than 350 boys and girls lined up in front of the Suncoast Auditorium, awaiting their chance to be examined and approved to play the sport of their choice.
The process has been streamlined over the years and now the wait is reasonable and the examinations are run with organization and precision. Three doctors, three physical therapists, an assortment of nurses, school staff and athletic coaches all contribute their time to give each student a thorough exam.
Once inside the auditorium, students were weighed and measured. Then they move on to have their blood pressure and vision tested. One by one, they step behind screened areas where a doctor completes the physical. The final step is an examination by a physical therapist to be sure their range of motion is normal.
Although the cost of a physical varies from physician to physician, Jim Sproul, public information officer for the hospital, estimated that each student received a minimum of $100 worth of medical attention that evening, a financial benefit that did not go unnoticed by the parents of these young athletes.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to make sure that everything's OK," said Sherri Cicchella, whose 15-year-old daughter Karisa plans to participate in basketball, volleyball and track and field at Lemon Bay High School next year. "It's important that kids get checked out before they play. I usually go to our family doctor, but this is great," she said.
Tom Catanzarite, Lemon Bay High School's athletic director, was first in line for a blood pressure check. "This is absolutely great, wonderful. For some folks, getting their kids annual physicals would be cost-prohibitive," he said.
Dale Dear waited for his daughter, Jennifer, outside the auditorium. "This is the best thing they (the hospital) do," he said.
On April 14 the hospital was named one of the nation's top 100 in overall care by the Solucient Institute, a health care information company (see Page 12).
The hospital also offers blood pressure screenings, orthopedic screenings, educational programs and support groups.
