Judy liked the Johnny Depp movie, "Edward Scissorhands," which was the inspiration for this quilt. Judy's notes say that the full size version of this quilt was made for the Lowell auction and started 9/14/1992. There is a quilt show and auction at the New England Quilt Museum but there was no further information in Judy's files.
Quilt was started 9/14/1992 and finished 10/11/1992.

ValeurThis interesting surname is derived from the Old English pre 7th Century personal name Bicca from 'becca' meaning 'pickaxe', 'mattock'. Secondly, it may be an East Ashkenazic name being the German or English spelling of the East Yidish 'bik', Polish 'byk', or Russian 'byk', all meaning 'ox' or 'bull', one of the many ornamental names taken from the animal kingdom. The personal name dates back to the late 13th Century and recordings include Bike (1273) 'The Hundred Rolls of Essex', and Bike le Clerk (1273) 'The Hundred Rolls of Essex'. The surname first appears at the end of the 13th Century, (see below). London church recordings include one William Bye who married Jone Chapman on January 18th 1554, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, and Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac Bicke, was christened on June 17th 1602, at St. James, Clerkenwell. Anne Bick was christened on July 28th 1633, also at St. James, Clerkenwell. One J. Bick, aged 24, a famine emigrant, sailed from Liverpool aboard the 'Waterloo' bound for New York on May 22nd 1847. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter Bike, which was dated 1273, The Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire, during the reign of King Edward 1, 'The Hammer of the Scots', 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

New York Democratic Candidate Says Israel 'Is Not A Jewish Democracy' In Debate
October 24, 2018 By Alyssa Fisher
Antonio Delgado
Democratic congressional candidate Antonio Delgado stunned the crowd when he said during a debate Monday in New York's Hudson Valley that Israel "is not a Jewish democracy" because of its settlements, the New York Post reported.
"As currently constructed, you know, Israel is not a Jewish democracy. Those settlements make it so that it can't be. So, we've got to have a two-state solution," Delgado said.
Delgado's opponent, Republican incumbent Rep. John Faso, sounded surprised, according to the Post.
"Israel is not a democracy? Israel is a strong democracy," he answered back during the debate in Albany. "It is a vibrant democracy. It has a vibrant free enterprise system. It has a vibrant agricultural system, culture. Israel is a democracy."
Delgado said he stood by his statement in a rebuttal.
"I said it is not a Jewish democracy," he said. "Meaning that given the fact that we have settlements currently in the region, it is not deemed a nation of Jewish democracy until we deal with the settlements. Until we deal with the settlements we will have that issue."
Delgado tried to clarify his remarks in a statement to Jewish Insider: "As I made clear in the debate and in my statements throughout this campaign, I have a deep personal and family connection to the state of Israel. As a member of Congress, I will do everything in my power to ensure it's security is safeguarded, which is also profoundly in America's national interest. I am committed to a two-state solution—a Jewish state of Israel and a sovereign Palestinian State—because it is the only way for Israel to fulfill its own aspirations to remain a Jewish democracy for future generations."
The race between Delgado and Faso is close — the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Faso is in the lead by 1 percentage point.
"He clearly misspoke, he just screwed up. The Republicans will jump on this," a Democratic insider told the Post.
Zionist Organization of America president Mort Klein told the Post that Delgado was "absurdly wrong. Everyone in Israel, including Arabs and Christians,have a right to vote and fully participate in Israeli society including being members of the Knesset."

Chat bots are the latest tech trend that will go nowhere
Peter Nowak	May 12, 2016 No Comments
By: Peter Nowak
GoogleKayvan Shoaye RadkayvanshrHi-Tech Development Group LLCChat bots are the latest tech trend that will go nowhere2016-05-12 12:00:37Author Google+ Page
Bots, bots, bots, bots, bots. Welcome to the technology world's latest trend. Move over wearables, step aside connected home – it's time for bots to have their moment in the sun.
Bots – or, more specifically, quasi-intelligent automated chat bots for popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp and WeChat that users "talk" to via text – are all the rage thanks mainly to Facebook and Microsoft.
Last month, Facebook devoted much of its annual F8 developers conference to talking about the coming wave of bots. Microsoft did the same a few weeks earlier when it detailed plans to incorporate chat bots into Skype.
If the two tech giants are to be believed, bots that can engage in spontaneous conversations will soon be handling everything from companies' online customer service to scheduling meetings and even booking our travel.
As with many tech trends, such as wearables and the connected home, there is a good deal of hype distorting reality. When it comes to bots specifically, there's a higher-than-usual chance that the hype will in fact outweigh the technology's actual utility, at least in the near future.
"It's a little bit overblown," says Rollo Carpenter, a veteran chat bot programmer. Mr Carpenter's Cleverbot, launched in 2003 and available on the web and as a smartphone app, has been a finalist in the Loebner Prize, an annual competition that gauges the believability of chat bots.
Mr Carpenter says the technology required to make a bot appear to think spontaneously, and therefore ably answer users' questions on the fly, is still a long way away despite decades of work by programmers like himself.
Users who try the bots now being rolled out by the likes of Facebook are therefore likely to be disappointed and those poor experiences will colour their overall opinion of the technology, he says.
It's already happening. Writers for technology sites The Verge and Gizmodo who have tested Facebook Messenger's weather and news-delivering bots have referred to them, respectively, as "the slowest way to use the internet", and "frustrating and useless".
Microsoft, meanwhile, ended up with egg on its face in March after its Tay bot turned racist, sexist and homophobic after only a day on Twitter.
"In order to do these things properly, we need a truer form of [artificial intelligence] or at least a truer form of machine understanding of language, which is not a solved problem at the moment," Mr Carpenter says.
Part of the issue lies in the motivations of the companies involved. Facebook and Microsoft desperately want to be players in smartphone software, but both have lost out to Apple and Google's Android, which control the ecosystem through their respective app stores.
Facebook and Microsoft would like their bot stores to be the next app stores. Such platforms could indeed be big because they can cater to all smartphone users. Facebook, for example, could sell all manner of chat bots to iPhone and Android users, since they wouldn't be married to a specific operating system.
The stats are somewhat supportive of the scheme.
The US-based tracking firm comScore estimates that close to two-thirds of smartphone users download zero new apps each month. The harsh truth for many businesses is that they're wasting their resources on developing apps, since so few people are downloading them.
Messaging apps, on the other hand, are experiencing explosive growth. Facebook Messenger has more than 800 million users while WhatsApp, purchased by Facebook in 2014, has a billion. Most chat services weren't even around a few years ago, which makes them the fastest-growing products ever.
Facebook and Microsoft are thus trying to convince businesses that their bots – and not apps – are the better way to get the attention of smartphone users.
Mr Carpenter doesn't believe it will work. When it comes to AI assistants, consumers are looking for a multi-pronged, uber-capable option like Scarlett Johansson's character Samantha in the film Her, not dozens of limited single-purpose bots.
In that vein, Google and Apple are on a better course with their respective assistants. While neither Google Now nor Siri works perfectly yet, their holistic approaches are better than the singular strategies from Facebook and Microsoft.
"The perfect bot merges the ability to understand what's out there on the web, and that can do things for you on the web, with chatting with you," Mr Carpenter says. "It's the key to the whole concept and they're not attempting to do that at all."

God of, see EROS; Goddess of, see PHRODITE and VENUS.
An ancient Italian goddess of voluptuous delight and of gardens, vineyards, and vintages, originally connected with Venus, and therefore often called Venus Libitina. She was also regarded as the goddess of death and of the departed, and was therefore afterwards identified with Proserpina. By an ancient ordinance, ascribed originally to Servius Tullus, for every person who died in Rome a piece of money was deposited in her temple. Everything requisite for burials was kept there, and had to be bought or borrowed from it.
A nocturnal festival in honour of a divinity, especially that of the Bona Dea, at which originally only married women were allowed to be present. In imperial times, when the presence of men was permitted, a nocturnal festival to Venus was also instituted. Such a festival, extending over three nights in the spring, is referred to in an anonymous poem called the Pervigilium Veneris, of the 2nd or 3rd century A.D. It consists of ninety-three trochaic septenarii separated into unequal strophae by the recurring refrain, Cras amet qui nunquam amavit, quique amavit cras amet. It celebrates in a lively strain the power of Venus, particularly as displayed in springtime, lauding her as the giver of life to all, and as the ancestress and patroness of Rome.
A wine festival kept by the Romans in honour of Jupiter twice every year: (1) on April 23rd (Vinalia priora), when the wine of the previous year was broached, and a libation from it poured on the sod; and (2) on August 19th (Vinalia rustica, the country festival of wine), when sacrifice was made for the ripening grapes. With both festivals was associated the worship of Venus, who, as goddess of gardens, had vineyards also under her protection.
An old Italian goddess, of Sabine origin, but also much worshipped in Etruria. She seems originally to have been regarded in the same light as Flora, Libera, and Venus. The Greeks called her a goddess of flowers; on coins she is represented as a girl in the bloom of youth, with flowers in her hair. She was also worshipped as the goddess of emancipation from slavery. She had a very celebrated shrine at the foot of Mount Soracte in Etruria, where the whole neighbourbood used to bring her rich votive offerings and the firstfruits of the field. The annual festivals served as fairs, such was the crowd of people who flocked to them. The mythical king Erulus of Praeneste was regarded as her son. He had three lives, and had to be slain three times by Evander in consequence.
Games with dice were of high antiquity and very popular among the Greeks. They were usually played on a board with a vessel called a tower (pyrgos, turricula, fritillus, etc.), narrower at the top than at the bottom, and fitted inside with gradually diminishing shelves. There were two kinds of games. In the first, three dice (kybos, tessera), and in later times two were used. These were shaped like our dice and were marked on the opposite sides with the dote 1-6, 2-5, 3-4. The game was decided by the highest throw, and each throw had a special name. The best (3 or 4 x 6) was called Aphrodite or Venus, the worst (3 x 1) the dog (kyon or canis). In the second, four dice (astragalos or talus) were used, made of the bones of oxen, sheep or goats, or imitations of them in metal or ivory. They had four long sides, two of which, one concave and the other convex, were broad, and the other two narrow, one being more contracted than the other, and two pointed ends, on which they could not stand, and which therefore were not counted. The two broad sides were marked 3 and 4; of the narrow sides the contracted one was marked 6, and the wider one 1, so that 2 and 5 were wanting. As in the other game, so here, every possible throw had its name. The luckiest throw (Venus) was four different numbers, 1, 3, 4, 6; the unluckiest (canis) four aces. Dicing as a game of hazard was early forbidden in Rome, and only allowed at the Saturnalia. The penalty was a fine and infamia. The aediles were responsible for preventing dicing in taverns. If a private individual allowed it in his house, he had no legal remedy for any irregularities that might occur. In spite of this, dicing was quite common at drinking bouts, especially under the empire. Indeed some emperors, e.g. Claudius, were passionate players. Others however did their best to check the evil. Justinian went so far as to allow a claim for the recovery of money lost at play.
The Latin personification of concord or harmony, especially among Roman citizens. Shrines were repeatedly erected to Concordia during the republican period after the cessation of civil dissensions. The earliest was dedicated by Camillus in 367 B.C. The goddess Concordia was also invoked, together with Janus, Salus, and Pax, at the family festival of the Caristia, on the 30th March, and, with Venus and Fortuna, by married women on the 1st of April (see MANES). During the imperial period Concordia Augusta was worshipped as the protectress of harmony, especially of matrimonial agreement; in the emperor's household.
A deity of generation and fecundity worshipped in Syrian Hierapolis under the name Atargatis, whom the later Greeks and the Romans simply called the Syrian goddess. From the time of the sovereignty of the Seleucidae, when the ancient paganism was highly honoured in Hierapolis, the worship of this goddess spread among the Greeks, and from them found its way to Rome (where she had a temple in the days of the Empire) and to other parts of Italy, and still farther west. The old idea of her attributes had so widened in the course of time that she shared those of Juno, Venus, Rhea, Cybele, Minerva, Diana, the Parcae, and other goddesses. She is represented on Roman monuments, seated on a throne between two lions. Her priests were generally eunuchs. They were in the habit of making excursions into Greece and Italy to extend the worship of the goddess by means of ecstatic dances and prophecies, and to collect pious alms for her sanctuary.
The Greek goddess of love. Her attributes combine, with Hellenic conceptions, a great many features of Eastern, especially Phoenician, origin, which the Greeks must have grafted on to their native notions in very old times. This double nature appears immediately in the contradictory tales of her origin. To the oldest Greeks she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione (and is sometimes called that name herself); yet from a very early time she appears as Aphro-geneia, the "foamborn" (see URANUS), as Anadyomene, "she who rises" out of the sea, and steps ashore on Cyprus, which had been colonized by Phoenicians time out of mind; even as back as Homer she is Kypris, the Cyprian. The same transmarine and Eastern origin of her worship is evidenced by the legend of the isle of Cythera, on which she was supposed to have first landed out of a sea-shell. Again, the common conception of her as goddess of love limits her agency to the sphere of human life. But she is, at the same time, a power of nature, living and working in the three elements of air, earth, and water. As goddess of the shifting gale and changeful sky, she is Aphrodite Urania, the "heavenly," and at many placesin Greece and Asia her temples crowned the heights and headlands; witness the citadels of Thebes and Corinth, and Mount Eryx in Sicily. As goddess of storm and lightning, she was represented armed, as at Sparta and Cythera; and this perhaps explains why she was associated with Are (Mars) both in worship and in legend, and worshipped as a goddess of victory. The moral conception of Aphrodite Urania as goddess of the higher and purer love, especially wedded love and fruitfulness, as opposed to mere sensual lust, was but slowly developed in the course of ages. As goddess of the sea and maritime traffic, especially of calm seas and prosperous voyages, she was widely worshipped by sailors and fishermen at ports and on seacoasts, often as the goddess of calm, while Poseidon was the god of disturbance Next, as regards the life of the earth, she is the goddess of gardens and groves, of Spring and its bounties, especially tender plants and flowers, as the rose and myrtle; hence, as the fruitful and bountiful, she was worshipped most of all at that season of the year in which her birth from the sea was celebrated at Paphos in Cyprus (comp. cut). But to this, her time of joyful action, is opposed a season of sorrow, when her creations wither and die: a sentiment expressed in her inconsolable grief for her beloved ADONIS (q.v.), the symbol of vegetation perishing in its prime. In the life of gods and men, she shows her power as the golden, sweetly smiling godess of beauty and love, which she knows to kindle or to keep away. She outshines all the goddesses in grace and loveliness; in her girdle she wears united all the magic charms that can bewitch the wisest man and subdue the very gods. Her retinue consists of Eros (Cupid), the Hours, the Graces, Peitho (persuasion), Pothos and Himeros (personifications of longing and yearning). By uniting the generations in the bond of love, she becomes a goddess of marriage and family life, and the consequent kinship of the whole community. As such she had formerly been worshipped at Athens under the name of Pandemos (- all the people's), as being a goddess of the whole country. By a regulation of Solon, the name acquired a very different sense, branding her as goddess of prostitution; then it was that the new and higher meaning was imported into the word Urania. In later times, the worship of Aphrodite as the goddess of mere sensual love made rapid strides, and in particular districts assumed forms more and more immoral, in imitation of the services performed to love-goddesses in the East, especially at Corinth, where large bands of girls were consecrated as slaves to the service of the gods and the practice of prostitution. And later still, the worship of Astarte, the Syrian Aphrodite, performed by eunuchs, spread all over Greece. In the Greek myths Aphrodite appears occasionally as the wife of Hephaestus. Her love adventures with Ares are notorious. From these sprang Eros and Anteros, Harmonia, the wife of Cadmus, and Deimos and Phobos (fear and alarm), attendants on their father. By Anchises she was the mother of Eneas. The head-quarters of her worship were Paphos, Amathus, and Idalion (all in Cyprus), Cnidus in Dorian Asia Minor, Corinth, the island of Cythera, and Eryx in Sicily. As mother of Harmonia, she was a guardian deity of Thebes. Among plants, the myrtle, the rose, and the apple were specially sacred to her as goddess of love; amongst animals, the ram, he-goat, bare, dove, sparrow, and other creatures of amorous nature (the ram and dove being widely-current symbols of great antiquity); as sea-goddess, the swan, mussels, and dolphin; as Urania, the tortoise. In ancient art, in which Aphrodite is one of the favourite subjects, she is represented in a higher or lower aspect, according as the artist's aim was to exhibit Urania or the popular goddess of love. In the earlier works of art she usually appears clothed but in later ones more or less undraped; either as rising from the sea or leaving the bath, or (as in later times) merely as an ideal of female beauty. In the course of time the divine element disappeared, and the presentation became more and more ordinary. While the older sculptures show the sturdier forms, the taste of later times leans more and more to softer, weaker outlines. Most renowned in ancient times were the statue at Cnidus by Praxiteles (a copy of which is now at Munich, see fig. 2), and the painting of Aphrodite Anadyomene by Apelles. Of original statues preserved to us, the most famous are the Aphrodite of Melos (Milo, see fig. 3) now at Paris, and that of Capua at Naples, both of which bring out the loftier aspect of the goddess, and the Medicean Venus at Florence, the work of a late Attic sculptor, Cleomenes, in the delicate forms of face and body that pleased a younger age. On the identification of Aphrodite with the Roman goddess of love, see VENUS.
With Jupiter the principal deity of the inhabitants of Italy, and therefore honoured with particular reverence by the Latins and Romans from the very earliest times, especially as the latter regarded him as the father of Romulus, the founder of Rome. He was held to be the son of Juno, who bore him in consequence of touching a wonderful spring-flower, and the husband of Nerio or Nerlene, a goddess of strength. Through the emphasising of one of his attributes he gradually came to be considered as, above all, the god of war; for originally he is at the same time one of the mightiest gods of nature, who accords fertility and protection to fields and herds. The first month of the old Roman year was dedicated to him as the fertilizing god of spring; in the very ancient chant of the Arval brothers (q.v.), at the May-day festival of the Dea Dia, the help and protection of Mars were demanded. In earlier times he was also invoked at the hallowing of the fields (See AMBARVALIA), that he might bless the family, the field and the cattle, and keep off sickness, bad weather, and all else that did harm. (Cp. ROBIGUS.) In later times the names of Ceres and Bacchus were substituted for his on this particular occasion. At the festival on 15th October (see below) a horse was sacrificed to him to insure the fair growth of the seed that had been sown. As god of war he had the special name Gradixus, the strider, from the rapid march in battle 1 (Cp. QUIRINUS), and his symbols were the ravenous wolf, the prophetic and warlike woodpecker, and the lance. When war broke out, the general solemnly invoked his aid, by smiting his holy lance and the holy shields (ancilia -see ANCILE) with the cry, Mars, awake! (Mars vigila!) Many sacrifices were also offered to him during the campaign and before battle; and in his name military honours were conferred. The Field of Mars (Campus Martius) was dedicated to him as the patron god of warlike exercises; contests with battle-steeds, called Equirria, were there held in his honour on the 27th February, 14th March, and 15th October. On the last-mentioned day the horse on the right of the victorious team was sacrificed on his altar in the Field of Mars; it was known as the horse of October (October equus), and its blood was collected and preserved in the temple of Vesta, and used at the Palilia for purposes of purification. The cult of Mars was entrusted to a special priest, the flamen Martialis (see FLAMEN), and the college of the Salii (q.v.), which worshipped him more particularly as god of war. His principal festival was in March, the month sacred to him. As early as the time of king Tullus Hostilius, Pavor and Pallor, Fear and Pallor, are said to have been worshipped as his companions in the fight, in sanctuaries of their own. Augustus caused him to be honoured in a new form, as Mars Ultor (avenger of Caesar), in the magnificent temple in the Forum Augusti, consecrated B.C. 2, where statues of him and of Venus, as the two divine ancestors of the Julian family, were set up. In later times he was identified completely with the Greek Ares (q.v.).
Son of Anchises and Aphrodite. Born on the mountains of Ida, he is brought up till his fifth year by his brother-in-law Alcathous, or, according to another story, by the nymphs of Ida, and after his father's misfortune becomes ruler of Dardanos. Though near of kin to the royal house of Troy, he is in no hurry to help Priam till his own cattle are carried off by Achilles. Yet he is highly esteemed at Troy for his piety, prudence, and valour; and gods come to his assistance in battle. Thus Aphrodite and Apollo shield him when his life is threatened by Diomed, and Poseidon snatches him out of the combat with Achilles. But Priam does not love him, for he and his are destined hereafter to rule the Trojans. The story of his escape at the fall of Troy is told in several ways: one is, that he bravely cut his way through the enemy to the fastnesses of Ida; another, that, like Antenor, he was spared by the Greeks because he had always counselled peace and the surrender of Helena; a third, that he made his escape in the general confusion. The older legend represents him as staying in the country, forming a new kingdom out of the wreck of the Teucrian people, and handing it down to his posterity. Indeed several townships on Ida always claimed him as their founder. The story of his emigrating, freely or under compulsion from the Greeks, and founding a new kingdom beyond seas, is clearly of post-Homeric date. In the earlier legend he is represented as settling not very far from home; then they extended his wanderings to match those of Odysseus, always pushing the limit of his voyagings farther and farther west. The poet Stesichorus (about 600 B.C.) is, so far as we know, the first who brings him to Italy. Later, in face of the fast rising power of Rome, the Greeks conceived the notion that Aeneas must have settled in Latium and become the ancestor of these Romans. This had become a settled conviction in their minds by the beginning of the 3rd century B.C., when Timaeeus, in the Roman interest, completed the Legend of Aeneas, making room in it for Latian and Roman traditions; and at Rome it was soon taken up and developed into a dogma of the state religion, representing the antagonism between Greece and Rome, the new Troy. From that time verse and prose endeavoured to bring the various places with which the name of Aeneas was connected into historic and geographic harmony, now building on a bare resemblance of names, now following kindred tables and the holy places of Aphrodite Aineias, a goddess of sea and seafaring, whose temples were generally found on the coasts. Thus by degrees the story took in the main the shape so familiar to us in Vergil's Aeneid. Aeneas flees from the flames of Troy, bearing on his shoulders the stricken Anchises with the Penates, leading his boy Ascanius and followed by his wife Creusa (who is lost on the way), till he comes to Mount Ida. There he gathers the remnant of the Trojans in twenty ships, and sails by way of Thrace and Delos to Crete, imagining that to be the destination assigned him by Apollo. But driven thence by pestilence, and warned in a dream that Italy is his goal, be is first carried out of his course to Epirus, and then makes his way to Sicily, where his father dies. He has just set out to cross to the mainland, when a hurricane raised by his enemy Juno casts him on the coast of Carthage. Here Juno and Venus have agreed that he shall marry Dido; but at Jupiter's command he secretly quits Africa, and having touched at Sicily, Cumae, and Caieta. (Gaeta), arrives, after seven years' wandering, at the Tiber's mouth. Latinus, king of Latium, gives him leave to build a town, and betroths to him his daughter Lavinia. Turnus, king of the Rutuli, to whom she had been promised before, takes up arms in alliance with Mezentius of Caere; in twenty days the war is ended by Aeneas defeating both. According to another version (not Vergil's), he disappeared after the victory on the Numicius, and was worshipped as the god Jupiter Indiges. The Roman version, in its earliest forms, as we see it in Naevius and Ennius, brought Aeneas almost into contact with the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus being regarded as children of his daughter Ilia by the god Mars. In later times, to fill up duly the space between the Fall of Troy and the Founding of Rome, the line of Alban kings, descended from Silvius, his son by Lavinia, was inserted between him and Romulus.

50 YEARS "LIVING DIVANI" 1969-2019
This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of "Living Divani", a company from "Anzano del Parco" (Como) known for the pure and clear image of its upholstery collection and accessories, which along an original trajectory has been transformed into a top-of-the-range brand with a strong international reputation. A story of perfectionism, lightness of form and savoir-faire: the year was 1969 when Luigi Bestetti and Renata Pozzoli start their married life and their professional project at the same time. After an experience in the family business, which produced classic and modern furniture, Luigi decided to drop everything to pursue his dream with Renata: a brand of their own, able to fully reflect their avant-garde vision. The 1970s run fast, with the acquisition of the land where the company's main headquarters are located today, the first international trade agreements, participation in fairs and the creation of models that have become part of the collective imagination (the Boston, King and Lucky sofas). With the arrival of the 1980s, the company dedicated itself with greater determination to the development of the Italian market, more complex to manage due to the request to diversify the models, to guarantee a wider offer in terms of fabrics and leathers.
The meeting that marked the contemporary history of "Living Divani" was certainly the one with the architect Piero Lissoni, art director of the brand since 1989. Under his direction, an extraordinary material and visual production began, passing from catalogs, productions, invitations made with the contribution of a creative team that involves Graph.x for the graphics, Tommaso Sartori for photography and Elisa Ossino Studio for styling.

Is Iraq's Shia revival over?
Iraq's anti-government Shia protests underline a bigger problem than just political turmoil and public frustration
Salah Nasrawi , Saturday 28 Jul 2018

Iraq's Shia-led government of Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi has reacted swiftly and forcefully to quell street demonstrations in the largely Shia-dominated southern provinces of the country that were protesting against state dysfunction and corruption and demanding jobs and public services.
The problem is not simply that the security forces have ruthlessly cracked down on angry protesters, but that the demonstrations have highlighted growing reservations by Iraq's Shias towards their poor leadership more than 15 years after the majority Shias obtained power following the fall of the former Sunni-dominated regime in the US-led invasion in 2003.
The widening cracks within Shia ranks cast a long shadow over the political empowerment of Iraq's Shias, or what has long been touted as a Shia revival, and they reinforce speculation about the limitations of the community's rise in state and nation-building in Iraq.
Moreover, the outcome of the standoff will determine the future of Shia rule in Iraq and will also have a huge impact on the sectarian power balance across the Middle East that has been inflicted by a deepening Shia-Sunni divide.
The protests in Iraq started on 8 July against politicians blamed for failing to deliver basic services and jobs to the oil-rich province of Basra and other largely Shia-populated southern cities that have been crumbling under years of corruption, mismanagement and neglect.
Several protesters were killed and hundreds of others were wounded in nearly three weeks of demonstrations as the government sent in US-trained anti-riot troops to quash the rioting which it blamed on "infiltrators."
Shia militia leaders also accused the protesters of serving foreign agendas and trying to undermine the war against the Islamic State (IS) terror group.
Soon the public protests moved to the capital Baghdad as the demonstrators escalated their demands to include the ousting of the ruling political parties and broadening their resistance to the Shia-led government.
The moves come as Iraq's embattled political class grapples with one of Iraq's worst crises since 2003 over the controversial results of the 12 May elections, now being contested by several groups.
The elections saw a low turnout, especially in the Shia-populated provinces which signalled their increasing disillusionment with the Shia political elites that have been monopolising power since 2003.
The revolt in Iraq's southern cities has also underscored how the political shift in Iraq in favour of its Shia majority has failed to advance the Shias' historic quest for justice primarily because of internal mismanagement and not necessarily because of resistance by "others."
Historically speaking, Shia Muslims have been denied access to political power for centuries. In Iraq, the Shias' narrative says that the community h Saddam Hussein as been treated as being made up of second-class citizens since the modern Iraqi state came into being after the First World War.
Iraq's Shia wheel of fortune, however, turned with the US-led invasion and the collapse of the Sunni-dominated regime of former dictator Saddam Hussein when the Shias seized the opportunity to take power in the country.
The Shia takeover in post-2003 Iraq also triggered a broader Shia rise in the Middle East that upset the regional sectarian balance and sparked Sunni rejection.
In the wake of the US-led invasion, however, important questions arose: would the newly empowered Shia leadership keep Iraq united and maintain its national identity and would it succeed in rebuilding Iraq as a modern state?
Would the new Shia rulers seize the opportunity to establish an egalitarian society rather than try to redress past injustices to the Shias alone?
The future of Iraq seemed to hinge on the answers to these questions. Yet, as more than a decade of Shia experience in government has showed, the Shia elites that drew on their community's majority in power were ill-prepared for the job, let alone the gigantic task of state-building in Iraq.
Huge sums of money coming from oil resources and international aid continued to be squandered or siphoned off by corrupt politicians, and the Iraqi people stood to lose everything as a result of corruption and dysfunctions.
However, the ineffective Shia political class continued to grab as much authority as it could, circumventing the constitution and the principles of power-sharing and consensus democracy and marginalising the country's Sunnis, Kurds, and even many in the Shia community.
The ethnic and sect-based quota system that was initiated after 2003 created a social environment favourable to political sectarianism, and this deepened communal divisions and triggered continued conflicts.
From their ghetto in the formidable government Green Zone in Baghdad, the Shia political elites used state resources and every instrument at their disposal, in particular the country's huge oil money and massive security forces, to monopolise power and exclude the rest of Iraq's communities and individuals.
Power-grabbing and exclusion went hand-in-hand with wanton corruption and flagrant inefficiency to produce the worst governments Iraq has had since its foundation in 1921.
Despite billions of dollars pouring into the state coffers annually, Iraqis have been sinking into poverty, deprivation and unemployment. Public healthcare and other services have drastically declined owing to shortages of funding and corruption.
Electricity and drinking water supplies have been painfully scarce even in the capital Baghdad, while they are more severely lacking in the provinces and even in the Shia heartlands.
More importantly, the Iraqi Shia ruling elites have failed in their strategic management of post-Saddam Iraq. Since they came to power, they have showed that they have no strategic plans for state-building and have been improvising as they go along.
The manner in which the ruling Shia oligarchy has been handling the present revolt is raising serious doubts even among Shias as to whether it is perhaps aiming to rock the foundations of the first government the Iraqi Shias have managed to establish in their history.
The way Al-Abadi's government has dealt with the movements in the southern provinces and the suppression of the protesters shows how the dysfunctional Shia-led regime has been incapable of morphing into a state that can represent the Shias and respect their voices and protect their rights.
After the Shia ruling groups, Iraq's mostly Islamic-oriented parties have imposed their own religiously and politically conservative agendas and alienated secularists and liberal Shias. They have also ordered their security forces and militias to turn their guns on the Shia protesters.
The results of turning against their own constituencies this time around could be fateful and have historic consequences as far as the Iraqi Shias are concerned.
Today, the question of the performance of the Shia leadership and its failure in state-building is fundamentally a matter of the Iraqi Shias' future. The key question is whether the present leadership in fact constitutes a danger to the survival of the Iraqi Shias.
As the Iraqi Shia elites lose support from their constituencies and continue to lack legitimacy and fail to build consensus, their governmental mechanisms will be increasingly raked over the coals.
Some 56 per cent of eligible voters in Iraq, mostly in Shia-dominated constituencies, boycotted the May elections in a clear message of rejection of their political class that has dominated the parliament and the government in post-Saddam Iraq.
When the protesters come in throngs to the Shia-populated cities shouting slogans of down with the political parties, burning their offices and attacking local government premises, the stakes are high that frustration with the ruling elites has reached boiling point.
Put in a larger perspective, Iraq's Shia elites have not only failed in building a normal state but have also turned Iraq into a natural breeding ground for mismanagement, corruption and terrorism.
In a broader historical and geopolitical context, the empowerment of the Iraqi Shias after 14 centuries of Sunni rule, once hailed as a Shia revival, has now been put into reverse.

I'm curious as to whether you've heard seen anything as of mid-July as to Martin Necas Youth Jersey the performance of Cordarrelle Patterson.UP NEXT http://www.officialnewjerseydevils.com/Adidas-Mirco-Mueller-Jersey Florida Atlantic: The Mirco Mueller Jersey Owls travel to the University of Alabama-Birmingham on Thursday.Much like their parent team, the defending Calder Cup Champion Grand Rapids Griffins are getting off to a slow start.The former Elan Chalon player out of France was selected by the Rockets 25th overall in the 2014 NBA Draft.Coach Nick Nurse said he wouldn't mind if Leonard played in Sunday's All-Star Game.
They played last Sunday in south Florida and the Heat won behind 40 points from Wade, 19 coming in the fourth http://www.carolinahurricanesofficialonline.com/Adidas-Martin-Necas-Jersey quarter.Currently Buchholz, who has been limited to 14 starts, is tied with Toronto's Dennis Lamp, who went 11 with a 3 ERA in 1985.That might not seem like a big deal, and it admittedly seems hard to believe hiring Beltran would push the Yankees across the finish line in acquiring Machado.Harrison Barnes added 14 points, and DeAndre Jordan chipped in 11 points and 12 rebounds.The under is 6 in the last 8 meetings.
He pay a few compliments to Bogut saying he will add some knowledge since he's been on the team before and he looks forward to having him on the team.I appreciate you for producing the effective, trusted, educational and easy guidance on your topic to Kate.So many people are going to have doubts about what I can do, Griffin said at the combine, where he also benched 225 pounds 20 times with a prosthetic on his left arm.He has totaled 145 hits and he has driven in 54 men in 570 at bats.Beyond exacerbating the stomach irritation issue, too much acidity can wear away at your tooth enamel and even harm your esophagus, he says.Both parties have apologized.

8 Ways to Look Amazing For Girls Two to three graphic tees.The bolder the better.You'll want bright colors with designs that stand out. Three to four solid v necks or regular t shirts.They're basic, and classic.Super easy to accessorize too. One to two tunics.These long shirts are great over leggings or skinny jeans.Get bright colors, and beaded ones are great.Make sure the tunic is long enough to be qualified as a tunic, but short enough not to be qualified as a dress. One vest.Black or gray are the best colors, and michael kors outlet online pin striped navy seems to be popular too.Forever 21 has a great selection, and inexpensive too. Four to five jackets/ hoodies.Get most of them in bright colors, and the rest in darker colors.Roxy has the best hoodies in my opinion, but hollister, a and aeropostale are great as well. Five to six tanks tops is a good idea.Get one in white, one in black, one in light pink, and the rest on any color that looks good on you. Four to five pairs of jeans in different varieties.Get one pair distressed, one pair bleached, one light wash, one dark wash, just make sure they're different.Sure, if you find a pair of really great jeans you should buy two pairs, but you don't want to look like you wear the same pants everyday.Keep it interesting! Two or three pairs of shorts, depending on how warm it is where you live, is normally best.Get one pair in denim for sure, the other could be khaki or something like that. A denim skirt, at least one, two or three is good too, should michael kors sale online be something you buy. Two to four pairs of leggings is good depending on how often you wear them.I suggest one pair of gray, one of black, and one pair of white leggings should always be available, but leggings are coming back in fun colors and designs.Look for a pair you love, and buy them. One or two more skirts may be good, depending on how girly you are. Invest in a trench coat like jacket.It should be long and tie around the waist.They're super cute as a coat, or just over a t shirt and denim leggings.In my opinion, black wool is the best type. One to two summer dresses is a good investment.Throughout the year they can be changed entirely by adding a jacket and leggings, or maybe a scarf. One pair of khaki or cargo pants is a good idea.Sometimes the best ones come from the guys section, actually, so keep your eyes open.Trust me, nobody will know where you got your pants. Two to four pairs of sweat pants or lounging pants are great for when you slept in late and don't feel like wearing anything uncomfortable.Even though it's fun to look fabulous, the focus of school is supposed to be learning, not attracting guys and making other girls jealous.Just enhance your natural beauty with mascara, lip gloss, foundation and concealer.Try to find a foundation with spf 15+.If not, use sunscreen.Proceed with caution if you choose to use blush, eye shadow and/or eye liner.A little goes a long way with these products, which are usually best reserved for formal events and dates.Wear spf!Eyes:Eye shadow is primarily intended for formal events, however, it may be used sparingly with neutral colors like brown and beige and even gold and still be school appropriate.Decide what you are comfortable with and what your parents are comfortable with(Sometimes it's good to listen to them;They're not always trying to ruin your style even though it can often feel that way).If you curl your lashes, curl them before you apply mascara.If you have naturally curled lashes, don't curl them more.Find a face wash/skin system that is right for you.Recommended brands include proactive, clean and clear, and neutrogena.The generic brands of these are available too, and some generics work better than the brand name items!Also, make sure you find a moisturizer that works for your skin type.If you're oily, don't go with a really heavy one, opt for a lighter one instead.And if your skin is dry, go with something a little thicker, richer, and creamier to keep your skin hydrated.If you feel you have bushy eyebrows, and you want them gone, either pluck, thread or wax.I prefer plucking, as it is easier, safer, and can be done more easily from home. Don't buy something if you're not going to wear it.If you're a tomboy, don't buy a bunch of skirts and dresses.If you are girly, then buy more flats and high heels than sneakers.Never buy something just because your friends have it. Do not ever tan at a tanning booth!Sure it gives you beautiful skin now, but look at lindsay lohan.Later your skin isn't so beautiful and skin cancer.That's the last thing you want.Tan with bronzer and from a bottle. Have a signature item.Anything, it doesn't matter.Be it a bag you carry everyday or a necklace you never take off, just have something people look at and think of you. Everyone will be shopping in august, and the worst thing is when someone has the same outfit as you.To get more original things, shop more in july. Become a member of your favorite store for discounts and sale notifications. Dress how you normally would throughout the school year on the first day.If you know you'll be wearing sweats and t shirts all year, don't show up the first day dressed up in a skirts and fancy blouse, and vice versa. If you want something, such as ugg boots, but can't afford them, don't be afraid to buy a knock off.To get the best http://www.cassiopia.co.uk/ knock off, first try on the actual brands item.As you've tried on the uggs, you'll know which knock off feels the most and looks the most like the real thing.

Feds add hate crime charges against suspect in Lakewood, NJ rampage
Dan Alexander Published: April 20, 2022
Dion Marsh during an appearance in Ocean County Superior Court 4/20/22 (Asbury Park Press)
The man who went on a violent rampage in Lakewood and Jackson on April 8 was charged with federal hate crimes Wednesday as he made another profanity-filled appearance in court.
Dion Marsh, 27, of Manchester, was charged with four counts of violating the federal Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act and one count of carjacking in connection with the attack that started with the carjacking of a vehicle he used to run over three pedestrians over the course of several hours. All three victims were Orthodox Jews.
The complaint against Marsh recounted the events of that Friday hours before the Jewish Sabbath. The attack hospitalized all three men with serious injuries. One lost a large amount of blood after being stabbed in the torso with a steak knife.
Marsh explained his actions as something that "had to be done" because Hasidic Jews are "the real devils," according to the complaint.
Under the Byrd Act, Dion is charged with willfully causing bodily injury to four victims and attempting to kill and cause injuries with dangerous weapons to three of them, all because they were Jewish.
Each hate crime charge carries a statutory maximum term of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was named in honor of two men killed in 1998. Shepard was gay while Byrd was beaten to death by white supremacists. The act passed in 2009 expanded the scope of hate crime laws.

New charges from the Ocean County prosecutor
The charges came as Marsh was in Ocean County Superior Court for a profanity-filled detention hearing where he was formally charged with terrorism, attempted carjacking, attempted kidnapping and three additional counts each of bias intimidation and attempted murder.
Judge Guy P. Ryan had to mute Marsh as the defendant told him to "shut the f**k up," dropped several F-bombs and talked over the judge.
He told his public defender to leave when she appeared during the hearing, according to the Asbury Park Press' coverage of the hearing.
"Call Dion, call Tyrone, call Simpson. I'm done with this bulls**t," Dion yelled at the judge during his online appearance.

The 2002-2003 New Jersey Nets: The last time the NBA Finals came through NJ
In 2012 the Nets made their Brooklyn debut, but before that, New Jersey was the home of the Nets dating back to 1977.
The franchise was born in 1967, under the name the New Jersey Americans. They played their games in Teaneck as part of the American Basketball Association. One year later they moved to Long Island, becoming the New York Nets.
It was there the team won two ABA championships in 1973-74 and 1975-76. The very next year the Nets, along with three other basketball franchises, were absorbed into the NBA as part of a merger deal, abolishing the ABA.
When the Nets first moved to New Jersey, they played their home games at the Rutgers Athletic Center in Piscataway. Then in 1981, they moved into the home many of us remember them in the most, the Brendan Byrne Arena in the Meadowlands in East Rutherford (later named the Continental Airlines Arena, then Izod center).
After years of losing, The Nets made it to two straight NBA Finals in 2001-02 and 2002-03. In 2002-03, the final time they sniffed the championship, the team lost to the San Antonio Spurs.
It would be the last time the Nets sniffed the title, but their efforts added them to New Jersey lore forever.
These are the best hiking spots in New Jersey
A trip to New Jersey doesn't have to be all about the beach. Our state has some incredible trails, waterfalls, and lakes to enjoy.
From the Pine Barrens to the Appalachian Trail to the hidden gems of New Jersey, you have plenty of options for a great hike. Hiking is such a great way to spend time outdoors and enjoy nature, plus it's a great workout.
Before you go out on the trails and explore some of our listeners' suggestions, I have some tips on hiking etiquette from the American Hiking Society.
If you are going downhill and run into an uphill hiker, step to the side and give the uphill hiker space. A hiker going uphill has the right of way unless they stop to catch their breath.
Always stay on the trail, you may see side paths, unless they are marked as an official trail, steer clear of them. By going off-trail you may cause damage to the ecosystems around the trail, the plants, and wildlife that live there.
You also do not want to disturb the wildlife you encounter, just keep your distance from the wildlife and continue hiking.
Bicyclists should yield to hikers and horses. Hikers should also yield to horses, but I'm not sure how many horses you will encounter on the trails in New Jersey.
If you are thinking of bringing your dog on your hike, they should be leashed, and make sure to clean up all pet waste.
Lastly, be mindful of the weather, if the trail is too muddy, it's probably best to save your hike for another day.
I asked our listeners for their suggestions of the best hiking spots in New Jersey, check out their suggestions:
