Zumba is a Latin inspired dance fitness class. It incorporates Latin and world styles of dance, some pop classics and recent chart music, creating a dynamic fitness system. The cardio-based dance movements are really easy-to-follow and work to sculpt and tone the entire body without you even realising you are exercising.
I CAN'T DANCE WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO DO ZUMBA?
Zumba is suitable for dancers and non-dancers alike. Zumba provides a non-intimidating opportunity for non-dancers and new exercisers to participate in group exercise.
Please wear comfortable loose clothing and trainers, any sports or leisurewear that you feel comfortable in. Footwear- Normal trainers are fine. However cross training style shoes are also suitable as they provide the cushion and medial lateral support needed for side-to-side movements. Shoes with less grip on the sole so you can move easily are ideal but must still have enough arch and ankle support.
Just plenty of water, a towel, friends and family.
WHAT WILL ZUMBA DO FOR ME?
It will help you to lose weight if you need to; provide all over toning, improve fitness levels and it's so much fun it should make you smile. Aside from its heart-health benefits, Zumba provides a workout for the whole body. From head and shoulder rolls that loosen up the neck and warm up the upper body, to footwork that strengthens and stretches calves and ankles, this fitness method touches on nearly every muscle and joint. Even those who are just learning the dance steps will find themselves waking up the day after a Zumba class with a definitive post-workout feeling.
Hips and abs receive particular attention in the Latin dance style, and as with many dance exercise classes, thighs and bums often end up being sore the day after class.
Just 5 or 10 minutes before the class so you can get prepared.
HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I DO ZUMBA?
Once a week is a good start but for the best results, two to three times per week. Remember, any exercise is better than sitting at home. I can guarentee you will feel 100% better after a class.


Aluminium rafter supported hip bars are long lasting and durable glazing bars. They screw down and connect directly into the timber frame, prevent rain from leaking through the glazing, and they help support the weight of the glazing and frame.
The use of aluminium means that these bars are lightweight so are easy to install, but they are also corrosion proof and rust resistant. Installation is made even easier with the snap-on upper profile. This plastic profile has an umbrella style design, forcing water down the roof of the conservatory and into the guttering, and because these sections simply snap on, it negates the need to apply extra fittings.
At Glazing Systems, we stock a selection of widths and lengths of aluminium hip bar, all competitively priced, and we also offer additional end caps, along with the polycarbonate sheeting you need for your roof. Browse the site or contact us with any questions or queries you have about the products we sell or the services we offer.
Aluminium hip bars are made using an aluminium core, as well as aluminium components. Aluminium is preferred because it is lightweight but is very strong. It will take the weight of double-glazed glass or thick polycarbonate sheeting and, despite these benefits, it is light and easy to install, giving you the best of both worlds.
The aluminium rafter supported hip bars attach directly to the timber frame of the building. This gives them greater strength and rigidity than self-supporting bars. Rafter supported beams are advised where a beam is present and accessible, and also for use with glass panes and with some heavier polycarbonate sheets.
End caps ensure that the bars and frames are stable and secure. They are attached to the end of the glazing bar, which means that they are prone to the elements. Plastic caps can become damaged and they can warp and bend in certain weather conditions. Aluminium end caps, one of which is included with every rafter supported hip bar purchase, are stronger, more durable, and are less likely to become badly damaged. We also sell additional end caps separately, giving you access to everything you need for your glazing installation.
Every installation has different requirements, including the size of the glazing panels or polycarbonate sheets. Buy the wrong dimension or size of glazing bar and you could be left with bars that simply won't attach or with holes and gaps in your glazing installation, that will lead to leaks and other potential problems with the conservatory. We can also supply the bars in any standard RAL colour, and we stock white and brown as standard and for quick delivery.
Aluminium rafter supported hip bars are an essential component to the glazing of any conservatory, orangery, or other outbuilding. Buy today from Glazing Systems for competitive pricing and a high quality service. Alternatively, if you have questions, call us on 01942 871183 or email sales@glazingsystems.co.uk and one of our knowledgeable and professional team will answer your questions.


Motzer R, Penkov K, Haanen J, et al.
In a single-group, phase 1b trial, avelumab plus axitinib resulted in objective responses in patients with advanced renal-cell carcinoma. This phase 3 trial involving previously untreated patients with advanced renal-cell carcinoma compared avelumab plusaxitinib with the standard-of-care sunitinib.
We randomly assigned patients in a 1:1 ratio to receive avelumab (10 mg per kilogram of body weight) intravenously every 2 weeks plus axitinib (5 mg) orally twice daily or sunitinib (50 mg) orally once daily for 4 weeks (6-week cycle). The two independent primary end points were progression-free survival and overall survival among patients with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive tumors. A key secondary end point was progression-free survival in the overall population; other end points included objective response and safety.
A total of 886 patients were assigned to receive avelumab plus axitinib (442 patients) or sunitinib (444 patients). Among the 560 patients with PD-L1-positive tumors (63.2%), the median progression-free survival was 13.8 months with avelumab plus axitinib, as compared with 7.2 months with sunitinib (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.47 to 0.79; P<0.001); in the overall population, the median progression-free survival was 13.8 months, as compared with 8.4 months (hazard ratio, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.84; P<0.001). Among the patients with PD-L1-positive tumors, the objective response rate was 55.2% with avelumab plus axitinib and 25.5% with sunitinib; at a median follow-up for overall survival of 11.6 months and 10.7 months in the two groups, 37 patients and 44 patients had died, respectively. Adverse events during treatment occurred in 99.5% of patients in the avelumab-plus-axitinib group and in 99.3% of patients in the sunitinib group; these events were grade 3 or higher in 71.2% and 71.5% of the patients in the respective groups.
Progression-free survival was significantly longer with avelumab plus axitinib than with sunitinib among patients who received these agents as first-line treatment for advanced renal-cell carcinoma.

Both Beauty and Horror: Water & Salt by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha
Reviewed By Jenna Lê
Water & Salt is the debut collection of Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, an American poet of Palestinian, Jordanian, and Syrian descent. The collection takes its title from Tuffaha's ode to the thousands of Palestinian prisoners who, in 2014, undertook a hunger strike during which they refused to let anything except water and salt cross their lips. The poem, characteristic of Tuffaha's interest in the capacity of language to convey both beauty and horror, quickly settles into a sort of chant, rhythmically enumerating the freedoms the hunger-strikers yearn for:
we claim the freedom
to turn stone into sunlight streaming through your jails
to sip water and salt like sacrament
to own our bodies and the land beneath them
to breathe the air on both sides of the wall
to wait and wait….
Just as the reader's ear becomes habituated to the drumbeat of this anaphoric list of liberties, the poem takes an unforeseen leap at its conclusion. Through the wizardry of poetry, the water and salt of the hunger-strikers' meager meals are transformed into the water and salt of a "crashing wave," an act of God that brings the Palestinians' longings to fruition:
…a crashing wave
of water and salt you never saw coming, this cleansing,
how we have become the ocean.
"We have become the ocean": in this sudden disorienting shift from unrealized infinitives to the present perfect tense, the poem transcends list to become lyric.
Tuffaha's verse is rich with subtle verbal maneuvers of this kind, which she uses in her deeply felt efforts to illuminate the ills currently besieging the lands of her ancestors and the waves of refugees those ills have produced. In her poetry, she alludes to, and thereby aligns herself with, poetic predecessors as far-flung as Naomi Shihab Nye (another American poet with Palestinian roots) and Bei Dao, a Chinese poet persecuted for his alleged political affiliations and forced to live in exile. Tuffaha's verse is generally much more direct than Bei Dao's in its approach to political topics, however—her lines longer and more prone to relax into the contours of impassioned speech. In "Newsworthy," for example, Tuffaha uses angry, biting sarcasm to prod readers to rethink the axiom that news coverage ought always to accord equal weight to all points of view in the name of "nuance" and "balance":
see for example the brown-skinned boy
slender limbs running across the street
a rock in his hand….
if you feel a bit unsettled by the chaos unfolding on his street
the smoke billowing from fires all around him
the tank pouring out armed soldiers
at the vanishing point where he aims
steady yourself with the thought
of the damage the rock could conceivably do….
a tank isn't necessarily a bad thing a semi-automatic
weapon aimed at a child maybe isn't
Given Tuffaha's preoccupation with themes of political injustice and exile, her choice to allude to Bei Dao makes sense, but I would argue that Tuffaha's poems bear a stronger kinship to the long-ago epics of the Near East: observe her penchant for recurring epithets à la Homer's "rosy-fingered dawn" (the phrase "stone walls the color of my skin," or some variant of it, appears in Water & Salt no less than four times), and her soft spot for the ancient literary device of anaphora. Anaphora is used to great effect not only in the collection's title poem but also in the powerful "Mountain, Stone," which seems to be in conversation with Warsan Shire's "The Birth Name," as it advises parents on how to name their children:
Do not name your daughters Shaymaa,
courage will march them
into the bullet path of dictators.
Do not name them Sundus,
the garden of paradise calls out to its marigolds….
Tuffaha's poems overflow with the love of language that is so often a defining characteristic of people who are fluent in more than one tongue. In her poems about mothering young children, like "The Whole Point" and "Many Hats," Tuffaha shows a particular fascination with how youngsters acquire language: "I knew to lean in to the quiet and listen, / to learn their language before they could speak it," she says in "The Whole Point," and in "Many Hats," she celebrates how for a six-year-old "the world's magic is still within reach / and language can rise and reveal it."
Tuffaha's passion for words is also evident in the lush, ornate diction of the poem "Rules for Recitation" ("linger in the plush velvet of consonants, / turn the vowels over and over in the light of song"), a tribute to grade school teachers in the poem "Copybooks," and the comparative linguistics practiced in the poems "Translation," "Dhayaa'," and "Tu'burni."
In "Dhayaa'," Tuffaha compares the Arabic and English words for loss, inviting readers who have a Whorfian bent of mind to draw conclusions about how loss is experienced differently in different parts of the world:
In my language
the word for loss is a wide-open cry,
a gaping endless possibility.
In English loss sounds like one shuddering blow to the heart….
"Tu'burni" is a poem that begins similarly, introducing readers to a Syrian word for which no exact one-word English translation exists. Tu'burni, according to the poem's explanatory epigraph, "translates as 'bury me' and means 'I love you so much I hope I'm the one that dies first." This word, the poem goes on to explain, is a "dark prayer" encompassing the old wisdom that "children should bury their elders," not the other way around. Just as the reader is starting to be lulled into comfort by the gentle scene the poem paints of a grandmother laughingly using the word tu'burni to express affection for her granddaughter, the poem takes a sudden turn, fluidly veering into grimness:
In my grandmother's old
Damascus neighborhood,
slender-limbed boys and girls
scrubbed clean of war's detritus
sleep soundlessly
in shrouds against the stone wall of a classroom.
The dark prayer,
unanswered,
burns to white ash….
In a volta not unlike the one that marks the ending of the title poem "Water & Salt," Tuffaha harnesses the legerdemain of lyric to link love and grief, anger and hope. Her poetry is a timely reminder that we should not let ourselves be lulled into complacency by the rhythms of the everyday, that each and every one of us readers is part of a bigger, more complex, multilingual, interconnected whole.

Home Entertainment James Gunn Once Again In The Director's Chair—Will Helm Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn Once Again In The Director's Chair—Will Helm Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3
In what appears to be a reconciliation of differences, Marvel and Disney Studios announce they have hired James Gunn back.
Tracy Few
Member Mar 15, 2019 02:05 pm
source: The Denver Channel
Marvel fans were reeling earlier today when it was announced that James Gunn will once again head up the Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise. Yes, it would seem that he has indeed officially been hired back—and too right I say!
However, what fans did not know that long before Marvel and Disney severed ties with Gunn over the surfacing of decades-old tweets, there was talk that he might not have at that time planned to return, to begin with.
It seems that only after Marvel had him locked in for GOTG 3, did the as mentioned above decade old tweets seem to gain more momentum in the online social media juggernaut. As a result, it is being said that Disney is actually the one who decided to let Gunn go, although Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige agreed as well.
As for the third installment in the iconic franchise, the last few months have certainly taken a significant toll. The film was initially targeted to begin production last year, however, after Gunn's firing, Marvel Studios found itself not only scrambling to find a director but also stated they would totally rework Gunn's script as well.
There were a massive amount of rumors and speculation as to who Feige would replace Gunn with, but they were just that—rumors and speculations. No one was ever officially hired, and the film was just left hanging in limbo.
Fans had hoped that Disney, Marvel, and Gunn would come to terms and hammer out an agreement, however when it was announced that Gunn had been hired to direct and write the Suicide Squad sequel over at Warner Brothers for DC, fans hopes all but faded.
It is worth noting that even though Marvel and Disney handled the Gunn firing in the manner in which they did, Gunn remained mute about the whole situation. He never took the specifics of the case to social media, nor did he even present his view on the matter. Now that he has been officially re-hired he hopped back onto Twitter to thank the fans and all those individuals who supported and believed in him.
Now that Gunn is back in the director's chair, it will be interesting to see how this will affect and where it will lead GOTG 3. We do know that unfortunately instead of playing a significant part in the kicking off of Phase 4 of the MCU, the film may actually serve in wrapping up the phase instead.
So, what's the verdict—you decide.
Did Marvel and Disney realize their mistake, almost too late, and decide to cut their losses while they could?

« Should I buy a media e-mail list?
When do you Start Marketing Your Book?
1) You need a distribution strategy (whether POD or off-set - just the logistics are different) - how sad is it to create great buzz - and you don't have your book anyplace where the trade and consumers can get it for your anxious buyers. Big lost sales and a waste of $$ on the publicist.
2) To engage a trade distributor (assuming you are doing print runs) you must have a written marketing plan for them.
3) You have to make sure that your product is top notch - or a publicist won't take it - their reputation is on the line with every book they recommend to their media contacts. that is what you are really paying for - who they know.
4) You have to make sure that your price is competitive with other books in your genre or no amount of publicity will create the sales that you expect.
5) You need a good media kit for the publicist to use as a basis for the publicity she/he will create for you - or you can pay the publicist to do that work for you.
When I can "have it my way" - which isn't often (<: - I prefer to work on the book at least 6 months ahead of the pub date - you really need that much time to get the marketing/distribution/pricing plans together, apply to distributors, get their paperwork done, get their sales team representing your book to the chains, the chains place their advance orders, you know how many to print and ship to them, they have to get them in stores - all prior to your pub date.
A website is another activity that should be done as early as possible - you can use it to begin creating advance buzz for your book, have a media room where the media can learn about your book (cover art, pictures from the book, pub date, etc.) and a place to post your media coverage as it comes in. You can post your Table of contents, a sample chapter, do a blog, and so on - lots you can do to start building that platform waaayyy ahead of the book.
You also need your publicist in place with your media kit to do pre-pub reviewers 3-4 months minimum before pub date (required time), get early copies out to large magazines with long lead times, and then when the time gets closer, do newspapers, blogs, websites, and short cycle magazines.
WHEW!!! See why it takes 6 months? Oh - and YOU have to follow-up on all this to maximize the impact.
Of course all of this is predicated on your goals for your project, the amount of resources (time & money) you can devote to your book and any constraints that your life situation imposes on you (don't want to do live appearances or maybe radio terrifies you, etc.).
So give your book a chance – start early and plan your marketing just as carefully as you planned your words on the page.

Hello, Carol. Thanks for input on Margie Boule's site.
I'm teaching English here in Korea (I retired from teaching 7/09 in Oregon) and this is my second contract in Korea (first was in 2000).
I have a dream: I was trained in the Riggs explicit phonics technique and I became a believer–a believer that this system could save billions of hours of learning time for native speakers and foreign learners.
riggsinst.org is their webpage, but it is not convincing.
You have to see it to believe me that this program is 1000% better than any phonics program currently used in public schools in America.
I do not casually spout "conspiracy theory" but can you check this out??
All my documentation is on Mediafire.com.
I'm writing a book, too, but have no dreams of paper publication. e-book is ok and more practical.
I would like to know how to communicate with members of the Oregon Education Association–can you help?
Hi Mary - I know that changes in education need to happen on many levels - your area of passion is one of a whole list. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to move the Titanic with any speed. The problem is that you need to get "people with power" on your bandwagon - your senators, representatives, OEA officials. This doesn't happen easily, but it is what must be done. I don't have any magic bullets that you don't have - write to them, lobby them, get face-to-face meetings with them.
I don't think the textbook people are conspiring against you - they just do what they've always done to make money as publishers. Publishing is in crisis - watch carefully what is happening and you may see an opportunity.
Thanks for being a concerned citizen - I wish I had some good answers for you, but I just don't.
Here is the email for the president and executive director of OEA - I would start there.

SACRAMENTO - A firefighter battling the largest wildfire in California history was killed last month when thousands of gallons of flame-suppressing liquid were dropped from an aircraft flying barely above the treetops because spotters mistakenly sent it on a route too close to the ground, according to state investigation findings released Friday
The pilot and a supervisor flying ahead in a small guide plane led the giant modified Boeing 747 nearly into the trees on Aug. 13 because the pilots failed to recognize that there was a hill in the flight path, according to the Green Sheet report by the state's firefighting agency.

Because of the near ground-level release, the retardant struck with such force it uprooted an 87-foot tree that fell on Matthew Burchett, a 42-year-old battalion chief from Utah helping with the Mendocino Complex Fire north of San Francisco.
Another large tree was snapped by the force of nearly 20,000 gallons of liquid and three firefighters were injured, one seriously.
Global SuperTanker Services LLC, which operated the 747, said in a statement that it thought the area was clear of firefighters and "acted within procedural and operational parameters."
Two supervisors — one in the air and one on the ground — potentially face discipline or loss of their current positions because of multiple compounding mistakes, said Cliff Allen, president of the union representing California's wildland firefighters.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Scott McLean said there are ongoing internal investigations into what went wrong.
"We definitely don't want this to ever happen again," McLean said.
The 747 was flying only 100 feet above the treetops, at least 100 feet too low, officials said. The goal is to fly high enough for the retardant to disperse and fall like rain, but at such a low level they said the slurry would have hit the trees at nearly the same speed as the aircraft — more than 160 mph.
The guide pilot "made a 'show me' run" for the 747 pilot over the intended path for the retardant drop, and marked the path for the jet with a smoke trail, according to the report.
"Obscured by heavy vegetation and unknown to the (747) pilot, a rise in elevation occurred along the flight path." The ground sloped up about 170 feet in the middle of what otherwise was a flat area, according to the report.
The guide planes have two people aboard, a pilot and an "air tactical supervisor," a specially trained firefighter who directs the pilots of both the guide plane and the airtanker trailing behind.
"He laid down the line and he was directing the tanker and the tanker was following direction," said Allen, the union president.
McLean said spotters have a difficult job because "the ground is very deceptive and very hard to read."
The retardant drops were intended to help secure a firebreak cut through the trees by a bulldozer to stop advancing flames. Burchett and the other three firefighters were working on the hill next to the firebreak when the drop was announced over a radio and firefighters were told to "Clear the area out."
The four did not respond to the warning, though the report says that "when personnel are working under a tree canopy, supervisors must ensure the drop path is cleared."
Allen said the supervisor could face discipline for not getting an acknowledgement that the firefighters were evacuating.
It is not uncommon to have firefighters under retardant drops, McLean said, though he could not say if the four firefighters knew they were in the flight path or why they didn't acknowledge or act on the radioed warning.
A firefighter who can't move out of the way is trained to lie spread-eagled, face down, toward the oncoming aircraft, one hand holding the top of the helmet as it takes the brunt of the impact from the falling slurry and air turbulence that can threaten to lift a firefighter off the ground.
Burchett, a suburban Salt Lake City firefighter, was crushed by the uprooted tree, while the others were stuck by falling tree debris. Two had deep muscle contusions and ligament damage. One also suffered broken ribs, while the fourth firefighter had scratches and abrasions.

This Week in Port Phillip 1841: February 8-15
Posted on February 18, 2016 | 2 Comments
HENRY DENDY ARRIVES
During this week Mr Henry Dendy arrived from England, bearing an entitlement to select 5120 acres of Port Phillip land under the Special Survey legislation that had been enacted in England. This legislation enabled prospective settlers, while in England, to pre-purchase a general entitlement to land at one pound per acre, pay for it in England, then come out to Australia to select the specific land that he wanted to buy. When news of this scheme reached New South Wales (and particularly Port Phillip as its most rapidly expanding frontier), Gipps, La Trobe and local purchasers were horrified at the thought of the best land being gobbled up before their eyes. Gipps quickly passed regulations in March 1841 to restrict Special Surveys to land more than 5 miles from the closest surveyed township, and to limit waterfront purchases to only 1 mile of 4 square miles of purchases, to avoid whole riverbanks being monopolized by one purchaser. After Gipps severely criticized the scheme to the Colonial Office, it was abandoned in August 1841. Nonetheless, in these short months eight Special Surveys were instituted, three in what is now suburban Melbourne: Frederick Unwin's Special Survey in Templestowe, Henry Elgar's survey in Box Hill, and Henry Dendy- whose arrival was noted on 12 February 1841- who snaffled what is now prime blue-ribbon residential land in Brighton.
THE FIRST G.P.O IS COMMENCED
Initially John Batman took care of the mail deliveries, but in 1841 a dedicated post office building was commenced on the corner of Bourke and Elizabeth Streets, the site of the building that we still call the GPO even though it has been turned into shopping. It included an eight room cottage for the postmaster (which seems rather generous) and a lobby and offices facing Bourke Street. As time went on, it suffered from the frequent flooding of Elizabeth Street but in February 1841, the good people of Melbourne were very pleased with the building which they felt reflected credit on Mr Rattenbury, the Clerk of Public Works. They were particularly pleased at the design for the inward-mail post boxes:
The plan adopted in America with so much advantage will be introduced of having a set of pigeon holes corresponding with the letters of the alphabet, which will be painted on the panes of one of the windows, so that any person going to the office may, by looking into the pigeon hole opposite the initial of his surname, be enabled to perceive whether there be any letters therein, and if none, of course he need not delay or trouble the postmaster by making enquiries.
NUISANCE DOGS
The Port Phillip Herald applauded the decision by the magistrates that stray dogs should be killed, but didn't like the way it was implemented:
A number of those quadrupeds, which were destroyed about a fortnight since, were thrown upon a heap at the bottom of Elizabeth-street and loosely covered with earth. The consequence has been that they were speedily disinterred by the pigs and the stench arising from the mass of putrefaction has been insufferable
AN EXTREME CASE OF CHARITY
Settlers traveling to New South Wales without the bonds of family and neighbours from 'home' were vulnerable if their plans for a new life were disrupted by death or illness.
We rejoice that it is seldom our duty to revert to cases of poverty in Melbourne, but an instance has come under our notice of pecuniary distress, under circumstances which irresistibly urge upon us the necessity of appealing to the public sympathy. By one of the late vessels from England there arrived a Mr McLean, his wife and seven children, and eight days after their arrival Mr McLean died, leaving his family totally unprovided for. Mrs McLean is an entire stranger, without a friend or the means of subsistence and to add to her distress she is on the eve of her confinement. She is at present in a wretched hovel, in the rear of Mr Ley's the Watchmaker, and only prevented from starving by some slender support furnished by the neighbours. Under the circumstances we trust the feeling of humanity is too strong in the breasts of our fellow colonists to require greater excitement than that produced by the mere mention of the case to ensure some assistance. Even a shilling will be of service, and there are few amongst us who could not spare something to mitigate the suffering of an unfortunate stranger amongst us. (PPH 12 Feb 1841)
HOW'S THE WEATHER?
Hot, actually. It surprises me, given that many of the new members of Port Phillip Society came direct from 'home',that there weren't more complaints about the weather and particularly about the heat. Also, given that white settlement in Melbourne had only started six years earlier, there must have been a degree of learning still going on about the weather patterns.
But at this time in 1841, the weather was so exceptional that it attracted the attention of the Port Phillip Herald of 16 February:
During the last few days the inhabitants of Melbourne have experienced some of the most intensely hot weather that has ever been experienced by the settlers in Australia Felix; the atmosphere has been dry and oppressive, accompanied by heat so well-known and so much dreaded. We have been informed that on Saturday evening the thermometer stood at 100 degrees in the shade at Mr Mills' brewery, and since Wednesday it has never been below 93 during the day. The want of rain has been severely felt in the interior; in some places we are informed, not a blade of grass can be seen, and the most fearful consequences to the stock &c is anticipated, if the ground does not receive timely moisture. A storm passed over the town on the afternoon of Thursday with successions of [most?] vivid lightning, accompanied by peals of the most startling thunder; the electric [fluid?] struck a tree on the summit of the Eastern Hill and deposited it in several parts of the bark; a man who was standing near narrowly escaped with his life.

I love this series and was worried, unnecessarily it seems, that it might be curtailed by your travels (which I trust are proving enjoyable). Don't you think they may have found somewhere a bit further out of town than the bottom of Elizabeth St, which is in any case a creek, to bury their dead dogs.

Thank you! I fell behind a bit because I was so busy blogging at the Increasing Sunshine site that I was too tired to compile a "This Week". Pigs and dogs seem to be rather a theme in early Port Phillip!

Home Killers Why Do Females Fall For Serial Killers?
Why Do Females Fall For Serial Killers?

Not long after the February 2018 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, hundreds of teenaged girls started sending love letters to the alleged shooter as he awaited trial in prison. According to media reports, the letters – over 200 of them – contained flattery, encouragement, and even scantily-clad photographs.
It's hard to believe, but even men accused of the most heinous crimes often have legions of devoted fans. Ted Bundy, Steven Avery, Chris Watts and Charles Manson are just a few examples of convicted murderers who, despite killing women, have received love letters from other women while they were behind bars.
The reasons for this are complex, says Sarah Hewitt, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Middletown, CT.
For some women, Hewitt says, trauma can play a part. "When a woman has a history of trauma that is related to violence, their level of normalcy around violence is higher," Hewitt explains. "Women who come from families where violence or crime is the norm can be attracted to men who engage in similar behaviors, even if they're more extreme."
Women also tend to be socialized as caretakers, Hewitt adds. While men might be repelled by a woman's criminal past, women are more likely to see men incarcerated or on death row as potential partners who they can care for and emotionally "save."
Another draw, says Hewitt, is the ability to control. "Since these men have lost their physical freedom, it's easier for women to 'trust' them," she says. "Women who have a history of traumatic relationships, either with parents or significant others, where they have interpreted loss as rejection, can be attracted to men in prison because the men physically cannot leave them."
Dr. Damian Jacob M. Sendler is a Harvard-educated forensic sexologist and principal research investigator at the Felnett Health Research Foundation who studies women who seek out long-term relationships with men in prison. And though there is a "wide range" of crimes that these women find attractive, Sendler says, "murderers tend to score the most interest and admiration."
The reason for this is two-fold, according to Sendler. "About half of our female participants had difficulties growing up," Sendler says. "On the one hand, these women want to help these men achieve their potential. "On the other hand, these women hope to find their soulmate, someone they can relate to based on life's negative experiences."
A small subset of these women, says Sendler, have something called hybristophilia, where a person is genuinely sexually aroused by the thought of someone committing a crime. Not all women who write letters to men in prison have hybristophilia, however, and simply having a relationship with someone behind bars doesn't make someone a hybristophiliac.
"People with this type of paraphilia seek to fulfill their desire to love a much stronger and more dominant partner," Sendler says. "Criminals are viewed as strong, fearless, and indifferent toward the law or social norms. Many women, and some men, idealize criminals and murderers as the type of person who can give them support. It's like a fetish."
Are men also attracted to women behind bars for murder? It doesn't happen often, says Sendler.
"I am sure that there are men who find female criminals attractive," he says. "The biggest difference between how women and men fall in love with criminals is that women seek to take care of the 'sinful,' while men are willing to forgive a criminal record only when they thing that the woman acted in some sort of self-defense."

According to media reports, the letters– over 200 of them— included flattery, motivation, and even scantily-clad photos.
It's tough to think, however even males implicated of the most abhorrent criminal offenses typically have legions of dedicated fans. Ted Bundy, Steven Avery, Chris Watts and Charles Manson are simply a couple of examples of founded guilty killers who, regardless of eliminating females, have actually gotten love letters from other females while they lagged bars.
The factors for this are intricate, states Sarah Hewitt, a certified marital relationship and household therapist in Middletown, CT.
For some females, Hewitt states, injury can play a part. "When a female has a history of injury that relates to violence, their level of normalcy around violence is greater," Hewitt describes. "Females who originate from households where violence or criminal offense is the standard can be brought in to males who participate in comparable habits, even if they're more severe."
Females likewise tend to be interacted socially as caretakers, Hewitt includes. While males may be fended off by a female's criminal past, females are most likely to see males put behind bars or on death row as possible partners who they can look after and mentally "conserve."
Another draw, states Hewitt, is the capability to manage. "Because these males have actually lost their physical liberty, it's simpler for females to 'rely on' them," she states. "Females who have a history of terrible relationships, either with moms and dads or loved ones, where they have actually analyzed loss as rejection, can be brought in to males in jail since the males physically can not leave them."
(************ )Dr. Damian Jacob M. Sendler is a Harvard-educated forensic sexologist and primary research study private investigator at the Felnett Health Research study Structure who studies females who look for long-lasting relationships with males in jail. And though there is a "large range" of criminal offenses that these females discover appealing, Sendler states, "killers tend to score the most interest and adoration."
The factor for this is two-fold, according to Sendler. " About half of our woman individuals had troubles maturing," Sendler states. "On the one hand, these females wish to assist these males attain their capacity. "On the other hand, these females want to discover their soulmate, somebody they can connect to based upon life's unfavorable experiences."
A little subset of these females, states Sendler, have actually something called hybristophilia, where an individual is truly sexually excited by the idea of somebody dedicating a criminal offense. Not all females who compose letters to males in jail have hybristophilia, nevertheless, and just having a relationship with somebody behind bars does not make somebody a hybristophiliac.
" Individuals with this kind of paraphilia look for to meet their desire to like a much more powerful and more dominant partner," Sendler states. "Crooks are considered as strong, brave, and indifferent towards the law or social standards. Numerous females, and some males, idealize wrongdoers and killers as the kind of individual who can provide support. It resembles a fetish."
Are males likewise brought in to females behind bars for murder? It does not take place typically, states Sendler.
" I make sure that there are males who discover female wrongdoers appealing," he states. "The greatest distinction in between how females and males fall for wrongdoers is that females look for to look after the 'wicked,' while males want to forgive a rap sheet just when they thing that the lady acted in some sort of self-defense."

Тульська наступальна операція — проводилася протягом 6-16 грудня 1941 року силами лівого крила Західного фронту та є частиною Московської стратегічної наступальної операції.

Загальні дані та передумови
Протягом жовтня-грудня 1941 року Тула знаходилася в напівоточенні за постійного артилерійського та мінометного обстрілу, авіанальотів та танкових і піхотних атак. Утримання Тули було одним із факторів, який вплинув на перебіг боїв під Москвою, відтягнувши сюди чималу кількість нацистських військ.

5 грудня 2-га німецька танкова армія, частини якої були розкидані на 350-кілометровому фронті, переходить до оборони. Виснаживши можливості до наступу, німецькі сили відходять з небезпечного виступу, що утворився на північний схід від Тули, на рубіж залізниця Тула-Вузлова — річка Дон. Біля Веньова знаходилися 3-тя та 4-та танкові дивізії 24-го мотокорпусу під керівництвом генерала Лео Гайр фон Швепенбурга та 17-та танкова дивізія 47-го моторизованого корпусу генерала Йоахіма Лемельзена. Німецькі фланги зі сходу прикривали дві піхотні, дві моторизовані та 17-та танкова дивізії.

10-та радянська армія на початок наступу знаходилася в некомплектному стані; для поставленого завдання — оточення німецьких частин — не вистачало моторизованих, танкових та кавалерійських частин. В її складі були малочисельні 57-ма полковника І. І. Мурова та 75-та полковника В. О. Конинського кавалерійські дивізії, які в ході операції використовувалися як прикриття на зчленуванні з радянськими частинами на лівому боці фронту. Основу армії склали 7 стрілецьких дивізій, які формувалися на території Московського військового округу — 330-та, 322-га стрілецька полковника П. І. Філімонова, 328-ма полковника П. А. Єреміна, 324-та генерал-майора Н. І. Кирюхіна, 326-та полковника В. С. Андреєва та додатково введені 323-тя полковника І. О. Гарцева й 325-та полковника М. Б. Ібянського, сформовані в Орловському військовому окрузі. Сюди ж направлялися щойно вийшлі з оточення 239-та стрілецька та 41-ша кавалерійська дивізії.

49-та радянська армія перед початком операції поповнилася 19-ю, 26-ю, 30-ю та 34-ю стрілецькими бригадами. В її підпорядкування перейшла 133-тя стрілецька дивізія із складу 1-ї ударної армії.

1-й гвардійський корпус, що мав діяти в складі 10-ї армії, через відсутність достатньої кількості транспортних засобів не був перекинутий і наступати почав зі своїх старих оборонних рубежів. Для прориву до призначеного місця кавкорпусу довелося пробиватися через відступаюче від Веньова ударне угрупування армії Гудеріана.

Загалом сили лівого флангу Західного фронту мали деяку перевагу над нацистськими в кількості особового складу — загалом нараховувалося до 100 тисяч військових, але — в радянських джерелах наводиться співвідношення в артилерії 1 : 1,5, по танках — в 3 рази менше. Разом в наступі брало участь 16 стрілецьких, 6 кавалерійських дивізій та близько 100 танків. Рубіж оборони перед наступом проходив по лінії від Тули на Мордвес — Срібні Ставки — Михайлов — Чернава.

Початок наступу
6 грудня після підходу підкріплень радянські війська під Тулою переходять в наступ із завданням розбити нацистські сили на цьому напрямі та зірвати можливість обходу Москви з півдня. 10-та армія мала напрямок наступу по лінії Рязань — Михайлов — Сталіногорськ. Тут оборону тримала німецька 10-та моторизована дивізія, її фронт оборони сягав 100 кілометрів.

Вночі з 5 на 6 грудня біля Алексина частини 238-ї стрілецької дивізії зайняли населені пункти Савіно, Казначеєво та Морген Рот, наступного дня ця частина вела там обороні бої.

330-та стрілецька дивізія полковника Г. Д. Соколова 10-ї армії П. І. Голикова наступає на Михайлов, після нічного бою на ранок місто було зайняте. Того ж дня зайняте місто Срібні Ставки, частини 10-ї армії вийшли до станції Гагарін.

112-та танкова та 340-ва танкові дивізії із 510-м полком 154-ї стрілецької дивізії наступали від райцентру Лаптєве на німецьке угрупування, котре вийшло в район Крюково — Руднєво — Кострово — Тісницьке та перерізало автомобільну і залізничну дороги Тула — Москва.

8 грудня переходять в наступ всі частини 50-ї радянської армії з лінії Площанка — Федоровка — Михалково — Ново-Тульський — Колодезна, 1-й кавкорпус тримав оборону Студенець — Ісаково — Причаль. Праве крило Південно-Західного фронту наступало поблизу Єльця. 258-ма стрілецька дивізія за 2 дні боїв з 296-ю німецькою піхотною дивізією знищили понад 500 вояків противника. 219-та стрілецька дивізія в нічному бою зайняла Нижнє Єлькіно і Пірово.

Армія Гудеріана відходить в загальному напрямку на Вузлову, Богородицьк, далі на Сухиничі.

Протягом 8-10 грудня радянська 10-та армія в постійних боях відкинула нацистські сили вглибину до 70 кілометрів та підходить до Дону. 50-та армія до кінця 10 грудня прорвалася вглиб німецьких оборонних ліній на 4-16 кілометрів, де їй протистояв добре підготований до оборони німецький 24-й моторизований корпус. Через потужний опір 50-та армія не справилася із поставленим завданням — перерізати шляхи відходу частин 2-ї танкової армії Гудеріана з району Веньов — Михайлов. 10-та армія Голикова наступає на Сталіногорськ, перерізала залізницю Кашира — Павелець.

9 грудня 1-й гвардійський кавалерійський корпус П. О. Белова спільними діями з 9-ю танковою бригадою займає Веньов, до ночі 10 грудня його передові частини були на підступах до Сталіногорська. Разом з тим темпи наступу радянських військ виявилися недостатніми для оточення нацистських військ, відступаючих з-під Веньова та Тули. До цього долучилися і погані розвідувальні дані, зокрема, 328-ма стрілецька дивізія весь день намагалася вибити німців з села Гремяче, та тільки увечері обійшли село з півночі та півдня, після чого опір був придушений. 258-ма стрілецька дивізія вела бої за Площанку і Помогалово. 290-та стрілецька дивізія вела цілоденні вуличні бої в Ямнах.

За 3 дні боїв 49-та армія пройшла вглиб німецьких укріплень на 10-20 кілометрів, зайняла Алексин, захопила плацдарми на лівому березі Оки, північніше Таруси та біля Алексина. На кінець 10 грудня армія займала фронт Альошня — Коптєво — Татьєво — Прудноє — Петеліно — Тепле.

50-та армія Болдіна наступала в районі Щокіно і тут зустрілася з найбільш запеклим опором — німецьке командування не бажало допустити проходження радянських військ на шосе Тула — Орел та запобігти можливому оточенню.

10 грудня 2-га гвардійська кавдивізія вела бої за Сталіногорськ, головні сили корпусу вийшли до Урусово — Пожилки. Невдалий штурм 10-ю армією Західного фронту на Богородицьк, 50-ю — на Щокіно, німецький 2-й танковий корпус зумів відвести сили з «мішка» східніше Тули. Частини 10-ї армії вийшли до Дона північніше Сталіногорська та на підступи до міста Єпіфань. З"єднання 50-ї армії досягли річки Упи південніше Тули.

What's in a vote? Power but not full moral control
November 7, 2004 — 9.03pm
After the defeat of Spain's government in March, The Economist ran a story headed "One down, three to go?" Would George Bush, John Howard and Tony Blair follow Spain's Jose Maria Aznar into defeat?
Well, we have the answers "no" and "no" - with one election to come. Bush and Howard have not just been re-elected but convincingly so.
Spruikers for each have been quick to declare that now the people have spoken, these leaders' stances - especially on Iraq - have been vindicated (although Iraq figured minimally in our election).
The line quickly becomes: the winner does not just have majority support but what he has done is judged to be right by virtue of having won that support, and critics have had their case destroyed.
For example, all those who worried about alleged lies in Australian politics are being derided as not just out of touch with what drives the ordinary voter (often true) but as preoccupied with things that don't matter (not true).
Winners write the history but let's not allow the spruikers' triumphalism to blow away clear thinking.
There are two issues worth exploring. One is the extent to which a resounding election victory gives a government a "mandate" to do what it wants. The second is whether the people's judgement makes a policy intrinsically correct, or in the national interest.
There are no absolutes in the debate about mandates; the case can be argued every which way.
Consider the sale of the rest of Telstra. Does Howard have a mandate for this?
Yes, I'd say. He's won control of both houses of Parliament. Selling Telstra was up there in his election platform. The informed voter knew what was coming; there was no deceit.
If you wanted to be devil's advocate, however, you could say a majority has opposed Telstra's sale in polls over years, and people may return a government even though they don't like a particular policy.
But for practical purposes, a government that wins from the people the untramelled power to pass its legislation can reasonably argue it has a broad mandate to get through anything that is in its election program.
Mark Latham acknowledges this, saying Howard will be "exercising his mandate according to his priorities".
Voters, when they marked their ballots, had every opportunity to know the Howard Government had ambitious plans for tougher industrial relations, media deregulation, reduced eligibility for the disability pension, and retention of our troops in Iraq.
Possibly, many weren't actively endorsing any of these. They were simply saying they didn't trust Latham. But the effect of voting against Latham was to vote in favour of allowing the Government to pursue its agenda. No one can complain now.
Various minor parties and players who've held the Senate balance of power have claimed their own "mandate" to unpick, amend or defeat legislation, despite having only a small slice of the vote.
This time, any problem of allegedly conflicting mandates is academic: after July 1 Labor and the small players won't have the numbers to block anything.
Bush put one view of mandate after his re-election. "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style".
Bush's critics fear his win could reinforce his tendency to foreign policy adventurism, although there will be very strong pressures (not least the stretched commitment in Iraq) to contain this.
It's flawed reasoning to think that because those advocating or opposing certain policies lose an election, that loss has automatically made their stances wrong. The correctness and appropriateness of policies have to be judged independently (although, politically, it's obviously no good being right but not able to convince people).
Quite a few voters would in retrospect believe the decision to prosecute the Vietnam war was disastrous, although they voted for pro-war governments at the time.
Many who believed when the Iraq war was launched that it was justified (on the basis of weapons of mass destruction) and the best course, have a different view after what's happened since the Americans "won".
As for "truth in government": that the concern expressed by many of the so-called "elites" received little look-in in the Australian election does not make that issue unimportant to the health of our democratic system. It simply says voters' focus wasn't on it.
"The people always get it right," Mark Latham said after his election loss, sounding as though he had to say it but didn't believe it. Parties that fail, whether the Labor Party here or the Democratic Party in the US, immediately have to start talking about the task of remaking themselves.
In Australia, the conventional and no doubt correct wisdom is that Labor lost because people didn't trust Latham and were scared about interest rates. Labor has said the obvious - that it must improve its economic credentials.
Commentaries out of America, however, are observing that the new moral and values agenda played a significant part in Bush's victory - translated into issues such as abortion and opposition to gay marriages.
The moral agenda has not hit Australia in any robust manner yet, although we are suddenly having a debate about abortion, and a pale version of the evangelical religious right has emerged and will probably get stronger.
The present discussion about abortion is very different from its American counterpart. It came after, not before, the election, and
if it ever came to a parliamentary vote, it would be on conscience grounds, the appropriate way to handle core moral questions.
What we don't want in Australia is the partisan political argument dragged significantly onto a set of moral issues.
It's a delicate line, though. Values issues are likely to become more central, and the political process is one obvious avenue for such debates. But for these issues to be used as front-line weapons on the political battleground would be a destructive development. (We saw a taste of this in the Government's pre-election legislation to outlaw gay marriages.)
Political leadership is about striking a balance between leading and following public opinion, between doing what's needed to win but also governing for all. The people speak in elections, and the essence of democracy is to respect their voice. But to jump from that to investing their decision with some quality of infallibility about all sorts of things is to be deluded by one's own propaganda.


Background: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening manifestation of Marfan's syndrome. Preliminary evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with aortic disease in Marfan's syndrome. Objectives: To study the effect of OSA on aortic events in Marfan's syndrome. Methods: In patients with Marfan's syndrome, a sleep study was performed at baseline and OSA was defined as >5 events of apnea/hypopnea (A+H) per hour in bed. Operation because of progressive aortic dilatation and death because of aortic rupture were defined as 'aortic events'. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to compare event-free survival in patients with and without OSA. Cox regression models were used to explore the effects of covariates on event-free survival. Results: Data from 44 patients (mean age 37.4 years, 30 females) were available for analysis; 15 patients (34.1%) had OSA. The median follow-up time was 29 (interquartile range 24-36) months. Five patients had an aortic event within the follow-up time. Median event-free survival was 51.6 months. Event-free survival was significantly shorter in patients with OSA compared to patients without OSA (p = 0.012). In univariate analysis, A+H was associated with aortic events [hazard ratio (HR) 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.18, p = 0.023]. Taking the interaction between BMI and A+H into account increased the HR for A+H (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.003-3.048, p = 0.049). This association was no longer significant when other covariates were forced into the multivariate analysis. Conclusions: These data suggest that aortic event-free survival may be shorter in patients with Marfan's syndrome and OSA compared to patients without OSA, but more data from well-designed studies are needed to prove this association.

Whatnot Studio
The Whatnot Studio is a progressive educational platform focused on creative inquiry and iteration. The year-long course enables students to hone their voice as individual designers while working as a team to execute a thematic collection of highly refined and relevant work for public exhibition.
The 2019 Whatnot Studio critically engages the concept of obsolescence. An original collection of designed objects will be exhibited at Wanted Design as part of NYC x Design Week, May 16-20, 2019 in Industry City, Brooklyn. The objects that surround us provide unique insight into the world in which we live. An object's relevance can be linked to the social, cultural, and economic context in which it was imagined, produced, and used. The 17th century monteith bowl which was used to chill drinking glasses and the nearly extinct public pay phone are just two examples of objects that have become irrelevant through complex advances in technologies and shifts in politics, economics, and cultural values writ large. Objects including printer cartridges, smart phones, and plastic seals on products like electric toothbrushes and razors represent strategic and planned examples of designed obsolescence ubiquitous in our contemporary context.
Pete Oyler is a product and furniture designer. He joined the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Designed Objects program in 2016 and teaches studio classes that explore the contemporary landscape of design and exhibition. As an educator Oyler is particularly interested in design semiotics and in the potential of three-dimensional objects to incite imaginative curiosity. Oyler co-founded the award-winning furniture studio Assembly Design with Interior Designer Nora Mattingly in 2012 and produces work for larger volume production under his own name. His work explores the intersections of design, craft, contemporary culture, and history, and his studio practice emphasizes both traditional and experimental approaches to a wide range of materials and methods of production. Oyler's work has been exhibited and recognized (inter)nationally. Recent publications include The New York Times, Elle Décor, Dwell, Ideat, Modern Painters, and Wallpaper.
Jonah Takagi received a BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002. After several years of life on the road as a touring musician, Jonah launched his studio, Atelier Takagi, in 2010. He has exhibited work throughout Europe and America and counts among his clients such brands as Kvadrat (Denmark), Roll and Hill (United States), Le Klint (Denmark), Umbra Shift (Canada), Matter (United States), La Chance (France), and Hem (Sweden).
For more than 150 years, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has been a leader in educating the world's most influential artists, designers, and scholars. Located in downtown Chicago with a fine arts graduate program consistently ranking among the top programs in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, SAIC provides an interdisciplinary approach to art and design as well as world-class resources, including the Art Institute of Chicago museum, on-campus galleries, and state-of-the-art facilities. SAIC's undergraduate, graduate, and post-baccalaureate students have the freedom to take risks and create the bold ideas that transform Chicago and the world—as seen through notable alumni and faculty such as Michelle Grabner, David Sedaris, Elizabeth Murray, Richard Hunt, Georgia O'Keeffe, Cynthia Rowley, Nick Cave, Jeff Koons, and LeRoy Neiman.
Designed Objects
The Designed Objects programs at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago focus on the critical rethinking of objects and the changing relationship between things, ideas, users, and contexts. It provides a creative and intellectual context in which designed things are examined, reconfigured and reimagined. The Whatnot collection is created through the External Partnerships Studios, which are year-long classes offered by the Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects (AIADO) at SAIC.
