Bitwa pod Casciną – planowany fresk Michała Anioła, który miał znajdować się w Sali Wielkiej Rady (Salone dei Cinquecento) we florenckim Pałac Vecchio. Buonarroti nie zrealizował samego fresku, jednakże wykonał w latach ok. 1505-1506 karton do niego, który później zaginął, znany z kopii i rysunków studyjnych, spośród których najlepsza jest ta autorstwa Aristotile da Sangallo datowana na ok. 1542 r. i znajdująca się w zbiorach hrabiego Leicester w Holkham Hall w Norfolk (który jest także posiadaczem Kodeksu Leicester Leonarda da Vinci).

Historia dzieła
Na początku XVI w. dożywotni chorąży Pier Soderini postanowił zlecić wykonanie dekoracji wielkiej sali w Palazzo Vecchio, której budowę zlecił Savanarola w 1494 r. w związku ze swoją reformą dotyczącą uczestnictwa w rządzie miejskim; zgodnie z promowanymi przez siebie zasadami Palazzo Vecchio był jeszcze w czasach Michała Anioła niemal całkowicie oddarty z jakichkolwiek ozdób, do tego stopnia, że przypominał surowością bardziej klasztor, niż reprezentacyjna siedzibę władz miejskich. Dzięki szczęśliwemu zbiegowi okoliczności dwóch największych mistrzów florenckich przebywało jednocześnie we Florencji po odniesieniu wielkich sukcesów w innych państwach włoskich. Soderini zdołał zaangażować do pracy zarówno Michała Anioła, jak i Leonarda da Vinci. Tematem dzieł miały być zwycięstwa odniesione przez republikańską armię florencką nad wrogami miasta, co miało gloryfikować odrodzoną Republikę Florencką i jej zwycięstwa nad wrogami, odniesione dzięki boskiemu wsparciu i odwadze obywateli miasta.

W kwietniu 1503 r. powierzono Leonardowi wykonanie fresku przedstawiającego Bitwę pod Anghiari stoczoną 29 czerwca 1440 r. z wojskami Sforzów, po czym da Vinci szybko przystąpił do pracy, opracowując jednocześnie specyficzna technikę – enkaustyczną – której zastosowanie znał z pism Pliniusza; technika ta okazała się jednak kompletnie nieodpowiednia, zaś jej zastosowanie doprowadziło do nieodwracalnego zniszczenia zaawansowanych prac nad częścią malowidła znajdującego się już na murze. W grudniu 1503 r. Leonardo zawiesił pracę nad dziełem i nigdy więcej nie podjął jej ponownie.

W drugiej połowie 1504 r. Soderini zaangażował Michała Anioła do wykonania projektu drugiego malowidła z przedstawieniem bitwy pod Casciną z 29 lipca 1364 r. stoczonej z Pizańczykami, przebieg której znano z relacji Giovanniego Villani. Episodem bitwy, który Buonarroti szczególnie zaakcentował w swoim projekcie jest moment, gdy oddziały Florencji zajęły przyczółek w odległości 6 mil od Pizy na przedmieściach Càsciny (wł. "ne' borghi di Càscina)i z powodu parnej pogody znaczna część wojowników musiała zdjąć swoje uzbrojenie i wykąpać się w Arno, kiedy nagle Mario Donati, widząc szykujący się atak wojsk Pizy wszczął alarm: Florentczycy szybko z powrotem założyli na siebie uzbrojenie i pod wodzą Galeotta Malatesty ruszyli do wali, z której wyszli zwycięsko.

Zlecony temat pozwolił Buonarrotiemu na przedstawienie jednego ze swoich ulubionych tematów, czyli obnażonych ciał (wł. ignudi) kłębiących się w spiralnych pozach. Artysta zaczął pracę nad freskiem od wykonania kartonu, który jak wynika z jednego z jego listów z 1525 r. miał być gotowy do marca 1505 r.; Condivi i Vasari wspominają zaś o okresie kilka miesięcy późniejszym, niewykluczone (jak wskazują na to inne przesłanki), że ukończenie projektu nastąpiło w rzeczywistości w listopadzie 1506 r. Projekt był przechowywany w jednym z pokoi Ospedale di Sant'Onofrio, gdzie został namalowany; tam też został pozostawiony przez Michała Anioła podczas wyjazdu do Bolonii w 1507 i stamtąd do Rzymu w 1508, dokąd udał się celem naprawienia stosunków z papieżem Juliuszem II.

Projekt sam w sobie został uznany za dzieło sztuki i stał się obiektem licznych studiów artystycznych; w 1508 r. karton został przeniesiony do sali, dla której był projektowany fresk, następnie eksponowano go w kościele Santa Maria Novella do 1512 r., wreszcie ok. 1515 r. projekt przeniesiono do palazzo Medici. W nim z powodu ogromnego zainteresowania i licznych przenosin był już ok. 1550 r. podzielony na części, które następnie trafiły do różnych właścicieli i uległy zniszczeniu w nieznanych okolicznościach. Vasari wspomina o obsesyjnym zainteresowaniu projektem jakie wykazywał młody Baccio Bandinelli, który próbując bezskutecznie dorównać sile i dynamizmowi oryginału zdobył klucz palazzo Medici, aby studiować go dniem i nocą, wreszcie wykradł je i zniszczył w przypływie furii spowodowanej niemożnością dorównania Michałowi Aniołowi.

Dawniej historycy byli przekonani także o tym, że Buonarroti zaczął realizację fresku na ścianie (opinię tą podzielał Charles de Tolnay, 1943-1960), trzeba jednak przyznać, że mowa w zasadzie o nakreśleniu szkicu, nad którym prace zostały szybko przerwane, zaś ich efekt uległ zamalowaniu lub wręcz całkowitemu zniszczeniu w trakcie prac budowlanych przeprowadzanych w Salone dei Cinquecento przez Vasariego w latach sześćdziesiątych XVI w.

Rysunki studyjne i kopie
Atrybucja i datowanie wielu dzieł jest trudne; do najważniejszych należą:

 Studium postaci (pióro i pędzelek na kartoniem, 42 × 28 cm), 1504-1505, w zbiorach British Museum w Londynie
 rysunek pleców nagiego mężczyzny (pióro i ołóek na papierze, 40,8x28,4 cm), Casa Buonarroti, Florencja
 Studium bitwy (kreda i ostrze srebrne na papierze, 23,5 × 35,6 cm), 1505-1506, Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe, Florencja
 Studium nagiego żołnierza z pałką (40,5 × 22,6 cm), 1504-1506, Teylers Museum, Haarlem
 Studium nagiego żołnierza (40,4 × 26 cm), 1505, Teylers Museum, Haarlem
 Scena bitwy (pióro i tusz na kartonie, 17,9 × 25,1 cm), 1504, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
 Piechur i jeździec (pióro i węgiel na papierze, 27 × 18,5 cm), 1504, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
 Nagi młodzieniec (węgiel i biel ołowiana na papierze, 27,2 × 19,9 cm), Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Wiedeń.

Istnieje wiele kopii części dzieła, wśród których za najlepszą uchodzi kopia centralnej części autorstwa Aristotele da Sangallo z ok. 1542 r. znajdująca się obecnie w angielskim Holkham Hall.

Opis i styl
Wilde badając dawny wygląd Salone dei Cinquecento doszedł do wniosku, że bardziej prawdopodobne jest, iż malowidła znajdowały się na tej samej ścianie wschodniej, niż na przeciwległych końcach sali; ściana ta miałaby być jego zdaniem dawniej podzielona na dwa oflankowane pola o wymiarach ok. 7x17,5 metrów (5/6 × 18 m zdaniem Grohna): po prawej stronie miał się znaleźć fresk Leonarda, zaś po lewej Michała Anioła.
Rekonstrukcja projektu Buonarrotiego stała się przedmiotem wielu badań i hipotez. Zdaniem Köhlera (1907) w centrum obrazu powinien znaleźć się żołnierz, po lewej stronie którego miałyby znaleźć się grupy jeźdźców poświadczone przez rysunki w zbiorach londyńskich i oksfordzkich; Thode (1908-1913) dokonał rekonstrukcji zakładając, że po bokach znajdowali się wojownicy, jedni w biegu, inni przedstawieni w trakcie wsiadania na konie.

Na jednym z rysunków znajdujących się obecnie w zbiorach Galerii Uffizi widoczna jest grupa centralna, jednakże bez przedstawienia postaci poskręcanych i poplątanych znanych z kopii da Sangalla. Jest to być może zależne od tego faktu, że Michał Anioł podjął ponownie pracę nad projektem po powrocie z Rzymu w 1506 r., gdzie podjął studia nad starożytną rzeźbą, zwłaszcza nad Grupą Laokona wydobytą w jego obecności 14 czerwca 1506 r.

North Dakota's Courts Overstepped Their Authority by Halting Evictions
April 6, 2020 | by Rob Port
MINOT, N.D. — The North Dakota Supreme Court is operating under new leadership at the moment. Chief Justice Jon Jensen was appointed to the Supreme Court by Burgum in 2017. He was seated as chief justice in January.
His comments to the media at the time are revealing.
"I think judges like to help people," Jensen said. "And I think you're no longer an advocate but you're in some ways finding the legal solution, but the solution."
That's not correct.
The job of the judge isn't to find a solution. It is to apply the law, as created by the legislative and executive branches, to a specific situation.

"This situation here is really hurtful, and it [is]really painful to the people of the BVI," a resident sadly muttered during the Speak Out BVI talk-show on 18 July, hours after BVI Airways – the airline Government injected $7M into announced that it was broke and unable to deliver the eagerly anticipated flights to and from Miami.
The shocking news echoed throughout the Territory culling disappointment, and sadness as many remarked that the situation is a Territorial embarrassment. The perceived humiliation stems from the fact that the announcement of the BVI Airways arrangement was touted by the government as a 'game-changer" and heavily promoted beyond the Territory's shores.
Signs of trouble in the arrangement were slightly obvious months after the grand announcement as deadlines were missed, and both the company and government became tight-lipped about a flight date.
However, that silence on flight date information was broken by the Miami International Airport. MIA in anticipation of the flights distributed more than three press releases that globally proclaimed that BVI Airways was going to commence flying on22 July.
The uncertainty about the flights was further propelled as BVI Airways issued a press release last week announcing that government was not meeting its obligations. That announcement prompted a brief response from Premier and Minister for Finance Dr. the Hon. D. Orlando Smith to counter with a statement that demanded the company commence service.
Things became even more concerning as Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Andrew Fahie in a statement last week announced that a cow would faster jump over the moon than the airline would fly.
Finally, the speculations of whether BVI Airways would fly or not came to a shocking end on Tuesday as the company via an open letter to the BVI public announced that they are unable to offer the 'game-changing' service that was advertised.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE $7MILLION?
However, the airline maintained that the blame for the present no-flight situation should not fall squarely on its shoulders because it did its part. "We have the planes, the organization and have secured all the difficult regulatory approvals. However, improvements to the airport required under our contract to meet basic commercially acceptable standards for processing passenger volume of this size have not been completed," the letter stated.
"Passengers cannot be expected to wait in line for two hours to get through the security and immigration; this would be disastrous. The current system is antiquated and barely works for low density flights," BVI Airways further explained.
As grim as the staff dismissal and flight uncertainty announcement is, BVI Airways is still holding a glimmer of hope that government would respond favorably. In fact, the company stated: "Hopefully this will be a very short-term situation as we continue to work through remaining issues with the government and will be able to commence flights shortly," BVI Airways said.
The disappointing news from BVI Airways inspired Hon. Fahie to quote a popular calypso song as he lamented that the situation is no laughing matter.
"This is an ongoing pattern of wreckless and irresponsible financial management that can only be directed to one office. This entire situation will be examined further," Hon. Fahie added.
The President of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) which is the main opposition party in the Terriotry also weighed in on the BVI Airways matter cautioning that the situation may end up in a court of law.
The VIP President, Natalio Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru announced that the matter is quite serious: "From the look they (BVI Airways) are trying to assert some sort of leverage over the government, but it is certainly a serious situation," he said while making a guest appearance on the Speak out BVI programme.
Wheatley said that the arrangement surrounding the BVI Airways/BVI Govt seems more like a startup than a subsidy, which Premier Smith said that it was: "From my standpoint, I would say that it was a poorly conceived idea. This is just from my standpoint. The government called this a subsidy — from my knowledge of subsidizing airlines normally you have an airline that is already in operation, and the government simply buys seats. That's my understanding of how subsidization works in the airline business," Wheatley explained.
"This is more like a startup. You giving a grant to start up a business which is rather strange because the government doesn't own shares in it; from my stand-point this is quite irregular. You see government put in money into an airline in this manner most times the government owns shares which means you have some type of controlling interest in the airline, but in this you have no controlling interest you essentially gave a grant and now they are saying that the money is finished and they can't run the route and trust me BVI airways would have looked at the contract very carefully," he added.
The majority of the callers told host Douglas Wheatley that they are unhappy with the turn of events, and pondered what could be done. One caller noted that he was perplexed at BVI Airways mention that government did not meet its end of the agreement: "You telling me that we have waited so long for this airline to officially fly, and at this point and time we are talking about not being ready on the government side! Whatever the case is it's not feeling good. It really is not feeling good. If you care about our islands if you care about our people – the whole Virgin Islands you would admit that this is painful. Not only because we are not going to be able to fly at this point in time, but we can't afford more financial implications as we are right now," the resident said in a sad tone.
Since the letter was released many in the community members are questioning why Government initially chose BVI Airways over VI Airlink a local company that reportedly already had the necessary travel clearances, and planes.
As of 19 July, when this article was written there was no official response from the Smith government regarding the BVI Airways announcement. However, in his 10 July midterm report the BVI Premier noted that the process of solving the Territory's air lift problems has been challenging.
Some frequent travellers and tourists have confirmed that the St. Thomas airport link is quite satisfactory and that they see no point in a BVI-subsidized airline or a BVI airport expansion; many local people said that we are heading for trouble.

Job Losses, Falling House Prices: Canada's New Mortgage Rules Will Sting
You just lost 21% of your homebuying power.
Daniel Tencer
Business Editor, HuffPost Canada
Oct 19, 2017, 11:52 AM EDT | Updated Oct 20, 2017
Canada's banking regulator, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), this week announced yet another tightening of Canada's mortgage rules.
Starting January 1, borrowers of traditional mortgages (those with a 20-per-cent or more down payment) will be required to pass a "stress test" to ensure they can afford higher mortgage rates.
They will now have to qualify at a mortgage rate that is two percentage points higher than the one they're being offered, or at the Bank of Canada's posted rate (currently at 4.89 per cent) — whichever is higher.
Watch: Not enough young Canadians to support high house prices, CMHC says
That's on top of the stress test introduced for uninsured mortgages last year. It means that all mortgages in Canada are now subject to a stress test.
And it's on top, of course, of the foreign buyers' taxes introduced in the greater Toronto and Vancouver regions.
The industry is worried about this latest mortgage move, as it affects a majority of new mortgage issuances in Canada. Tim Hudak, the head of the Ontario Real Estate Association, said the cumulative effect of all the new rules amounts to "a war on homebuyers."
What's Going On In Housing?
Our weekly newsletter delivers the news and analysis you need on Canada's housing market. Sign up below and don't miss an issue.
But there is good reason for these moves, whether they are a war or not. As house prices have risen, Canadians have accumulated the highest household debt burden of any G7 country.
Global financial institutions are raising the alarm. The Bank for International Settlements has identified Canada as one of the top candidates for a debt crisis. UBS's Housing Bubble Index ranks Toronto as the world's riskiest housing market.
So it's not without reason that regulators are trying to tamp down the amount of debt Canadians are taking on. All the same, these new rules are going to have a notable impact on the housing market. Here's what the experts say is in store for the housing market under the new rules.
Your homebuying power will be reduced by around 21%
According to calculations from mortgage comparison site Ratehub.ca, the new stress test will reduce the amount of home you can afford by around 21 per cent.
Currently, a household with an income of $100,000 can afford a house worth around $706,000, assuming a 25-year mortgage at 2.89 per cent. Under the new rules, that household would only be able to afford a house valued at $571,000.
House prices and sales will fall
According to TD Bank senior economist Brian DePratto, the new mortgage rules will depress demand for housing by about 5 to 10 per cent, and will push prices downwards by 2 to 4 per cent.
Still, "these changes should help enhance the resilience of the Canadian banking system in a rising interest rate environment," DePratto wrote in a client note this week.
It will hit move-up buyers
Last year's mortgage rule changes targeted insured mortgages with less than 20 per cent down, meaning the impact fell mostly on first-time home buyers. But the new rules will hit "move-up" buyers who are upgrading to a better home.
"Some will not be able to get the home they had intended and will withdraw from the market," said Phil Soper, CEO of Royal LePage. "Others may look to less expensive properties, driving activity and prices in the lower-end of the market."
Borrowers could be pushed into higher-rate mortgages
A greater number of Canadians will find themselves unable to land a mortgage with one of the conventional lenders, and some of those may turn to alternative lenders who offer higher mortgage rates, writes Robert McLister, founder of RateSpy.com.
"If you have a higher debt load, weak credit and/or less provable income, get ready to pay the piper," he wrote.
If that were to happen, it would essentially mean the new mortgage rules backfired to an extent, as it would mean more, rather than less, risky borrowing.
That's "not something that would be a positive development," OSFI head Jeremy Rudin said recently. Well, at least the banking regulator is aware of the risk.
It could harm job growth
According to Will Dunning, chief economist at Mortgage Professionals Canada, if this policy reduces housing activity by 10 to 15 per cent, it will mean there will be 100,000 to 150,000 fewer jobs in the economy than there otherwise would have been.
That may be one of the reasons why Dunning has called on Finance Minister Bill Morneau to intervene and stop OSFI's rule changes.
OSFI stress test would tip GTA hsg mkt into decline. Just imagine the carnage it will do elsewhere. It's coming. Morneau better intervene.

In 1940, just four years after NWF was founded, Shirley Temple served as an honorary chairman of Wildlife Week, and helped promote our collectible conservation stamps, seen below in a photo from our archives. These stamps played a huge role in establishing a connection between artists and conservationists, and in building National Wildlife Federation in its early years. Eventually NWF issued stamps featuring more than 1,000 species and raised millions of dollars for wildlife conservation.
In the 1970s, she joined us again, and served two years on National Wildlife Federation's Board of Directors.

Monday's mp3: Huun Huur Tu's Throaty Roar
There's no separating the cultural mystique of Tuva from the famous throat-singing styles the small Central Asian semi-nation is known for. The sound of vocal overtones -- often sung in imitation of natural sounds and animal calls -- is eerie, fascinating, and exotic to the western ear. These sounds entranced American physicist Richard Feynman, bluesman Paul Pena (documented in the film Genghis Blues), and many others. And one of the main ambassadors of the sound over the years has been the group Huun Huur Tu.
According to a great biography on khomus.com, Huun Huur Tu started in 1992 as a quartet called Kungurtuk with Kaigal-ool Khovalyg, Alexander Bapa, his brother Sayan Bapa, and Albert Kuvezin (later of Yat-Kha). On a visit to the USA in 1993, Huun Huur Tu came to know and begin collaborations with musicians including Ry Cooder, The Chieftains, the Kronos Quartet, and Frank Zappa.
All of which brings us to the two CDs at hand today, both of which pay tribute to traditional Tuvan music, which highlighting influences that the band found in their global travels.
Legend (Jaro Medien, 2010), is a sublime album of music recorded live in Belgrade in 2004 with The Bulgarian Voices Angelite and Moscow Arts Trio. The two CDs reprise material recorded on the two studio collaborations, Fly, Fly, My Sadness (1996) and Mountain Tale (1998). It's a beautiful, slow, soulful recording of skilled artists exploring the similarities and differences of their neighboring cultures.
More recent is the Huun Huur Tu album Ancestors Call (World Village, 2010). I love the ambiguity of the title: Is "call" a noun or verb? That ambiguity seems appropriate for a group that steeps its music in tradition, yet has no problem mixing in the syrup of modernity, particularly in their choices of collaborators (check out Bahamut with Hazmat Modine or Eternal with Carmen Rizzo, for example).
Says Sayan Bapa, one of HHT's founders:
We do not have plans or strategies for creating the music. We let it come through us, and follow where it leads.
Where's it leading? Compare this track from the new album to the music in the video below -- the same song from their 1994 album The Orphan's Lament -- and you'll get some idea of the band's changes over the past 15 years. This is living, breathing, modern folk music. You may be over the "wow" factor that accompanies one's initial exposure to Tuvan singing, but this album will affirm your excitement for a fascinating musical tradition brilliantly updated.

Hey everyone! I was asked by the very lovely Mimi Leinbach to be a guest designer for the new scrapbook company Want2Scrap for the month of April. Want2Scrap specializes in the manufacturing of their own line of bling, acrylic and chipboard albums, as well as laser designs and ribbon.
The project I want to share today is a mini album using the Assorted Rectangle Acrylic Album. Every year I tell myself I am going to create a mini album to document our annual family vacation to Ocean City, NJ and every year it somehow doesn't happen. So this year I decided to create my album ahead of time and now I am ahead of the game! LOL I really liked how the pages of the album were all different sizes and it was a lot of fun to see how each page layered on top of the other for the overall look. Of course I used lots of bling throughout the album as well to accent my die cuts and stickers.
this album is so sweet!
Adorable! I need to scrap ahead of time for the summer too!
Ok. That album is FANTASTIC. You just amaze me!


Castle c.1938, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.
Okinawan Karate-do is a fighting style over 500 years in the making. Okinawa, known then as the Ryukyu Islands, was originally three kingdoms; Chuzan, Nanzan and Hokuzan. After the kingdoms were united in 1429 by King Sho Hashi, sometimes known as King Shoshin, a decree was announced, prohibiting the use of weapons by the island people. In 1609, the Shimazu clan of Satsuma in Mainland Japan invaded the Ryukyu islands, and again imposed the decree prohibiting the use of weapons. Between these two incidents, the island people began to develop a form of martial arts called simply Te(hand) or To-te(Chinese Hand), a form of martial arts of Chinese origin currently unknown to mainland Japan. To keep it hidden, To-Te was practiced in secret. They began to develop their techniques into solo dance-like forms called kata, which allowed them to hide their practice, while continuing to develop punching, kicking, grappling and throwing techniques.
Another pronunciation of the word To-te was kara-te. In the late 1800's, Te was incorporated into the Okinawan school education programs, and the kanji (Japanese characters) for kara was changed from meaning China to meaning empty; thus, karate (empty hand) was born.
Originally there were two forms of karate-do named Shuri-te and Naha-te, after the regions in which they originated. The Shuri-te style was primarily developed by Master Anko Itosu, and went on to become the modern style Shorin-ryu. Naha-te was primarily developed by Master Kanryo Higaonna (also pronounced Higashionna) and later went on to become Goju-ryu, the style we practice at Sho Rei Shobu Kan today. For more information, please view the next page, history of Goju-ryu karate.

Chicago Park District Partners with Illinois Farmers to Produce Hand Sanitizer to Combat COVID-19
Heather Atkinson 04.10.20 isasvg Article
This article was originally published by the Chicago Park District.
The Chicago Park District is partnering with the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) checkoff program to produce hand sanitizer to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among the District's workforce and City first responders. The hand sanitizer will be used by Park District Staff and other professionals who continue to perform essential functions during the State of Illinois' stay at home order.
"The safety of our employees is paramount," said CPD General Superintendent Michael Kelly. "Due to the sweeping spread of the novel coronavirus, there is a global shortage of vital sanitation products. This unprecedented time calls for innovative solutions. Rather than wait indefinitely for products to become available, risking the safety of our workforce and the public, we decided to produce it ourselves."
The Chicago Park District is currently producing 600 gallons of alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Production of the hand sanitizer follows World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for antiseptic hand rub containing isopropyl alcohol, glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, and purified water. Glycerin is the main by-product derived from the production of biodiesel and is made from soybeans grown in Illinois.
ISA is contributing to the effort by helping secure raw materials and packaging needed for production.
"Illinois soybean producers are proud to partner with the Chicago Park District to alleviate stress on needed resources like sanitizer during this pandemic," says ISA Chief Executive Officer John Lumpe. "We're neighbors helping neighbors because, at the end of the day, we're all in this together."
The Chicago Park District began hand sanitizer productions last week and has already started distribution among its workers. Park staff will carry smaller 6-ounce bottles of sanitizer on hand, larger 32-ounce bottles will be placed at fixed positions and in CPD vehicles. Gallon sized bottles will be used to refill smaller containers.
The Chicago Park District also uses biodiesel made from recycled soybean oil to fuel equipment such as lawnmowers, beachcombers and refuse haulers. Darling Ingredients donates used cooking oil to the CPD program. In fact, the District is a member of the B20 Club, a partnership between ISA and the American Lung Association that recognizes Illinois-based fleets committed to operating with biodiesel blends of 20 percent or higher.
Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) checkoff and membership programs represent more than 43,000 soybean growers in Illinois. The checkoff funds market development, soybean innovation and profitability efforts, issues analysis, communications and education. Membership and advocacy efforts support Illinois soybean farmer interests in local areas, Springfield and Washington, D.C., through the Illinois Soybean Growers. ISA programs are designed to ensure Illinois soy is the highest quality, most dependable, sustainable and competitive in the marketplace. For more information, visit the website www.ilsoy.org.
The Chicago Park District has served Chicago residents for more than 85 years. It is a Gold Medal Award-winning organization, which recognizes excellence in park and recreation management across the nation.
For more information about the Chicago Park District's more than 8,800 acres of parkland, more than 600 parks, 26 miles of lakefront, 12 museums, two world-class conservatories, 16 historic lagoons, nearly 50 nature areas, thousands of special events, sports and entertainment programs, please visit www.chicagoparkdistrict.com or contact the Chicago Park District at 312/742.PLAY or 312/747.2001 (TTY).

A Thrive, Not Just Survive Mindset
Illinois Opportunities are Rife for Specialty Soybean Markets
U.S. Poultry Partnership Pays Off in Mexico
In Illinois, corn and soybean organizations are working together to build demand for crops the state's farmers raise. One of the ways the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) checkoff program and Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB) complement each other is through promoting poultry exports to Mexico. Both groups support the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council (USAPEEC).
Conservation Success Requires Working Farm Partnerships
In Illinois, half of all farmland is owned by a non-operating landowner. To achieve watershed and landscape conservation objectives, such as those in the Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (NLRS) in Illinois, requires improved conservation outcomes on rented farmland.

Harbor paid $21,000 to lift derelict tug that sank in snowstorm
Courtesy of the Port and Harbors Department
Port Director Steve Miller (left) and harbor employee Chris Smith pump out a listing boat in Shoemaker Bay on Jan. 2 after heavy snow, rain and frigid temperatures led to a problem with the vessel's "sea chest," a pipe between a ship's side and a valve in the hull for draining water. (The department blacked out the name of the vessel in the photograph.)
Earlier this month, a derelict tug boat, the Bee, went down in Shoemaker Bay, and five other vessels almost did, after heavy snow loads and single-digit temperatures weighted down Wrangell.
The harbor department impounded the 60-foot Bee in September, Port Director Steve Miller said Friday. His staff had been checking it twice a day but "something broke on the boat that allowed some more water than our pumps could handle," he said.
The boat went down on Jan. 5 after heavy snowfall earlier this month.
It took $21,000 to recover the Bee, Miller said.
"We know who (the owner) is, but it will t...

For most RVers, the best cure for spring fever is getting their RV or motorhome ready for the first camping trip of the season. The promise of hotter weather and longer days signals the time to prep the home away from home for another spring and summer full of family fun on the open highway.
To get the most out of your RV this season, follow our tips for preparing your RV for camping season.
Inspect the Outside of Your Rig. Your tires get a workout every season and are susceptible to damage caused by changes in climate. Look at them closely for cracks in the sidewalls and between treads. Replace any tires that have seen better days. Check the tire pressure on all tires, including the spare, and make sure the reading on the pressure gage meets the manufacturer's recommendations. While you are outside, take a close look at the caulking around windows, doors, vents and seams, and repair any cracks, so water will not leak inside.
Test the Awning. Open your awning and examine the fabric for tears and holes. If extending the awning seems more difficult than usual, take your RV to your dealer's service department to have the spring tension adjusted. Do not attempt to adjust the spring yourself.
Service Batteries and LP Items. Make an appointment with your RV dealer's service department to check and maintain your RV's batteries and products that use LP gas. Have a professional perform a load test on the batteries and replace them if necessary. A professional service technician should also test for and repair any LP leaks.
Check the Refrigerator. Vacuuming the back of the unit is a good way to keep it running efficiently. While you are back there, look for rust on the cooling unit and burner flap, and take it to a servicer if you find any corrosion. Make sure the inside is clean also, then turn it on and let it run for several hours to see if it is cooling properly.
Inspect the Sewage Dump Hoses. Because dump hoses have a limited lifespan, check them for tears and holes, and replace them if needed.
Maintain Security Devices. Replace the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and make sure your fire extinguishers are in good working order.
Evict Critters. Unfortunately, your RV or motorhome provides great winter shelter for rodents and spiders. Check inside and out for signs that unwanted guests have taken up residence. Open outside compartments, and look for spider webs and debris. Inside, open cabinets, and look for droppings and other evidence of pests. Remove anything you find.
The time you spend getting your RV ready for camping season is time well spent if it means peace of mind that lets you relax and enjoy friends, family and the RV life! Get your RV ready today, and enjoy the spring camping season!

A Polish court this week sentenced three men for up to four years in prison after the men accidentally stole a van full of dead bodies . A coroner assistant was driving the Mercedes Sprinter van from Berlin to a crematorium in the town of Meissen, Germany. The driver stopped at a "car park" to wash his hands and when he returned, the van was gone. The three men who stole the van were unaware that it contained 12 German corpses that were on their way to be cremated. When the thieves discovered the bodies in the back of the van, they promptly dumped the coffins in a nearby forest where they were later discovered, "strewn around the forest" but intact and still in their coffins.

The devastating effects of the Russian 'ban on methadone' are being felt in Crimea, with as many as 20 former Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) patients having died since it's implementation.
According to a report from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), not only have up to 20 former patients died, countless others are suffering from untreated diseases such as HIV/AIDs and Hepatitis, while others still are trying to flee the area in a desperate bid to find the life saving treatment elsewhere.
Data from Canadian studies has shown that the percentages of people who inject drugs with a used needle have varied from just under 9%, up to 27%. Unfortunately, needles are far from the only item being reused or shared.
Cookers, filters, sterile water, ascorbic acid and tourniquets are among some of the other popular items that are being used on more than one occasion and/or shared amongst the sexual partners, family and friends of intravenous drug users.
While advocates of harm reduction initiatives have long cited the critical need for the distribution of clean, sterile supplies to intravenous drug users; educating and informing users regarding the dangerous practice of supply sharing, as well as its risks is crucial in order to prevent the further spread of communicable diseases and infection.
More frightening news coming out of Russia. The drafting of a new bill proposes that HIV positive patients, as well as those with other dangerous diseases be required to submit to fingerprinting, which would then be contributed to and stored in a national database.

Round Up: Is effective in killing a wide variety of plants, including grasses and broadleaf and woody plants. Roundup is one of the safest weed killers available when it's used correctly. One of the reasons for this is because Roundup deactivates upon contact with soil and is degraded by micro organisms.

Betsoft Gaming signs deal with Pinnacle
Betsoft Gaming, Malta-based casino and gaming service provider, has inked a deal with the well-known online betting firm Pinnacle. Betsoft will offer its complete collection of popular slot games to Pinnacle as part of this deal.
The partnership covers the full Betsoft product range, including the much sought-after Slots3 series, and will enhance both companies' positions in the markets where Pinnacle offers igaming experiences.
Founded in 1998, Pinnacle is currently celebrating 20 years in business – all informed by a set of consistent principles.
With commitments to offering the best odds, and to place no artificial limits on winning players, the company has become a well-loved brand in more than 200 countries.
As well as traditional sports betting, Pinnacle is recognised as a leader in esports; it embraced the emerging market early, taking its first esports bet in 2010, and was this year recognised by Gaming Intelligence as 'eSports Operator of the Year', with more than eight million esports bets placed to date.
Pinnacle also offers slots, live casino, and table games in several key European markets. Developments in this area were the catalysts behind the company's decision to work with Betsoft.
Caroline Danielsson, account manager at Betsoft explained: "Pinnacle has a longstanding reputation for player satisfaction in sports and esports betting, so when it began to significantly improve the quality and variety of its slot games, the company chose its partners carefully.
"We are proud to see Betsoft's games added to Pinnacle's carefully-curated portfolio, and we are confident that players will find our standards of quality and choice compelling."
Under the agreement, Pinnacle will also gain access to new Betsoft games as they become available – something that will support the company's strategic growth plans in appropriate regulated markets.
Pinnacle CEO Paris Smith explained: "Betsoft is one of the most recognisable names in the igaming industry, and we are thrilled to be working with them. Today and tomorrow, we want to offer our players the best possible experiences: that means embracing the newest innovations, and integrating the best and most popular games.
"We strongly believe that our partnership with Betsoft will be essential in achieving all those aims, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship between our two businesses."

1. Om. O Bhagavad Gita, with which Partha was illumined by Lord Narayana Himself, and which was composed within the Mahabharata by the ancient sage, Vyasa, O Divine Mother, the destroyer of rebirth, the showerer of the nectar of Advaita, and consisting of eighteen discourses�upon Thee, O Gita, O affectionate Mother, I meditate!
Yena twayaa bhaaratatailapoornah prajwaalito jnaanamayah pradeepah.
2. Salutations unto thee, O Vyasa, of broad intellect and with eyes like the petals of a full-blown lotus, by whom the lamp of knowledge, filled with the oil of the Mahabharata, has been lighted!
3. Salutations to Lord Krishna, the Parijata or the Kalpataru or the bestower of all desires for those who take refuge in Him, the holder of the whip in one hand, the holder of the symbol of divine knowledge and the milker of the divine nectar of the Bhagavad Gita!
Paartho vatsah sudheer bhoktaa dugdham geetaamritam mahat.
5. I salute Sri Krishna, the world-teacher, son of Vasudeva, the destroyer of Kamsa and Chanura, the supreme bliss of Devaki!
Sotteernaa khalu paandavai rananadee kaivartakah keshavah.
6. With Kesava as the helmsman, verily was crossed by the Pandavas the battle-river, whose banks were Bhishma and Drona, whose water was Jayadratha, whose blue lotus was the king of Gandhara, whose crocodile was Salya, whose current was Kripa, whose billow was Karna, whose terrible alligators were Vikarna and Asvatthama, whose whirlpool was Duryodhana.
7. May this lotus of the Mahabharata, born in the lake of the words of Vyasa, sweet with the fragrance of the meaning of the Gita, with many stories as its stamens, fully opened by the discourses of Hari, the destroyer of the sins of Kali, and drunk joyously by the bees of good men in the world, become day by day the bestower of good to us!
8. I salute that Madhava, the source of supreme bliss, whose Grace makes the dumb eloquent and the cripple cross mountains!
Yasyaantam na viduh suraasuraganaa devaaya tasmai namah.
9. Salutations to that God whom Brahma, Indra, Varuna, Rudra and the Maruts praise with divine hymns, of whom the Sama-chanters sing by the Vedas and their Angas (in the Pada and Krama methods), and by the Upanishads; whom the Yogis see with their minds absorbed in Him through meditation, and whose ends the hosts of Devas and Asuras know not!

He has developed over 150 sites gathered from a diverse range of locations from Pakistan to the New Zealands subantarctic Campbell Island. The tree-ring data has all been lodged on the public database administered by NOAA (www.) of which he has been an advisory committee member since 2005. Recent developments have been a 500-year drought atlas for eastern Australia and New Zealand as well as the reconstruction of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) for the last 1200 years. Another major research focus has been the development of subfossil tree-ring chronologies that have helped improve the accuracy and precision of the radiocarbon calibration curve. His contribution has been recognised by being elected as a member of the IntCal Radiocarbon Calibration Working Group in 2017.

Australovenator is a type of carnivorous dinosaur that once roamed Australia over 95 million years ago.
In an exciting quest to find out more about this theropod dinosaur, the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum, in collaboration with the University of New England are using ANSTO's Australian Synchrotron in Victoria to conduct high resolution 3D X-ray imaging of the femur of Australovenator to study its internal bone structure, to hopefully reveal how it lived.
Using its flagship beamline technology, ANSTO scientists will discover more about this dinosaur through the use of Imaging and Medical beamline (IMBL).
IMBL delivers the world's widest synchrotron X-ray 'beam', which is perfect for analysing fossil relics of Australia's prehistoric past.
ANSTO's CEO, Dr Adi Paterson, said this was yet another wonderful use of Australia's Synchrotron.
"It is great to see the kids get so excited about science," he said.
"ANSTO works to get young people more involved in the wonders, discoveries and opportunities that science has to offer, and events like today can start a lifelong interest or career," he said.
Students from the John Monash Science School were fortunate enough to examine the femur of Australovenator, the 95 million year old dinosaur, as it was being scanned at ANSTO's Synchrotron.
"IMBL is only a few of its type and it's great to be able to show off both the femur fossil and the scientific techniques we use to high school students with an interest in science," Dr Bevitt said.
"Thousands of scientists from industry and academia benefit from gaining access to state of- the-art instruments every year."

Mets' rotation outduels Phillies in crucial three-game set
August 14, 2022 Alex Reich
Vincent Carchietta/USA TODAY
The Phillies took a trip to Flushing on Friday night and the game was the outcome that Philadelphia sports fans were looking for—a huge win. They got the job done with a victory against one of the best pitchers in the league, Max Scherzer. Unfortunately, things did not go well from there. The lack of offense from the Phillies made any quality pitching useless, and the Mets were able to soar to victory in the final two games in New York.
Phillies starting pitcher, Ranger Suarez did an excellent job as he pitched seven innings, giving up only three hits and one earned run.
Bryson Stott gave the Phillies an electric boost as he hit a double that bounced off the right-field wall. Moments later, Alec Bohm came to bat and hit a single to right center and scored Stott.
The scoring was very quiet from the bottom of the second to the tenth inning as Suarez and Scherzer were in a competitive pitcher's duel that limited both offenses. And if it wasn't for Mark Cahna's sacrifice fly in the second inning, Ranger Suarez and the Phillies could have shut out the Mets to start the series.
Instead, the game was tied after nine innings.
In the bottom of the tenth, Mychal Givens came in to pitch for the Mets. Alec Bohm faced Givens and stroked one to right field and scored Bryson Stott to give the Phillies a 2-1 edge.
The Phillies won, 2-1, and took game one of three thanks to a gutsy performance by David Robertson.
On Saturday night, the Phillies tried to battle out the most talented pitcher in the major leagues, Jacob DeGrom. He had an excellent night making the Phillies offense stay off-balanced by mixing his slider and fastball. The Mets edged the Phillies in a very tight game.
Phillies starter Aaron Nola was terrific on the mound Saturday evening. Nola retired seventeen straight Mets at one point. He ended up going eight innings as he was electric while he allowed four hits, walked one batter, and struck out eight on ninety-six pitches. It was easily one of Nola's best outings in any start he made this season.
The only run that the Phillies allowed, which happened in the bottom of the first, was a single by Pete Alonso that scored Starling Marte to put the Mets in the driver's seat.
The Phillies' bats had an off night as you Phillies fans could see They couldn't produce in the majority of their at-bats, the Mets beat them to it and scored first.
In game three, the Mets and Phillies faced off in the rubber match of their three-game series, and it didn't go well at all for the Phillies. The Mets cruised through the game and beat the Phils and won the series.
Zach Wheeler started for the Phillies and it became a nightmare in a blink of an eye, as the Mets pulled the trigger and loaded runs onto the scoreboard early in the game. Wheeler went six innings, allowed six earned runs, and struck out five batters.
The Phillies' offensive game was terrible. Swings and misses were happening at a rapid pace, and the Phillies were hitless with runners in scoring position.
No need to worry
Should Phillies fans worry more about this series loss? No, the season is far from overt.
The Phillies faced two generational talents in Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom. And game three was nothing more than a bump in the road, something that even the best teams will face. If they can hit better in their games next weekend versus the Mets, then it'll be a whole new ballgame.
Have the Phillies found a new leadoff hitter?
Bryson Stott was very impressive as he finished the game going 3-for-4, with a double, hit by pitch, and two singles. His contact on hitting is continuing to be stellar in big moments when the Phillies offense needs it most against more talented teams like the Mets. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out for Stott. He has the capabilities to be a leadoff hitter, but some are not convinced that he is ready for such an important task this early in his major league career.
The Phillies will face the Reds at Great American Ballpark beginning Monday.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — It took almost 29 minutes of Saturday's game for No. 17 Duke to have a player reach a double-figure point total.
And it simply didn't matter with the Blue Devils.
Mark Mitchell scored 15 points and Kyle Filipowski posted 13 points and 10 rebounds for the freshman's fifth double-double in Duke's 75-59 victory over Boston College in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.
The Blue Devils (8-2), who shot 52.8% from the field, are unbeaten in six home games under first-year coach Jon Scheyer. Jacob Grandison added 10 points off the bench.
Filipowski said it was "amazing" to see everybody "being so selfless and sharing the ball."
Duke has had a player reach 20 points just once this season, yet they're averaging more than 72 points per game.
"This team is built for that," Grandison said of the variety of scorers. "I don't think any of us cares what way we have to do it."
CJ Penha scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, Jaeden Zackery tacked on 14 points and reserve Devin McGlockton had 10 points for Boston College (5-4), which has lost eight straight to Duke. The Eagles have dropped consecutive games for the first time this season.
Duke broke free with several scoring runs, including an 11-0 burst that stretched the margin to 58-37 near the midway mark of the second half.
"We knew it was capable of happening when you play here if you're not sharp with the ball," Boston College coach Earl Grant said of Duke's runs.
Reserves Ryan Young and Grandison, a pair of transfers from Big Ten Conference teams, combined for 12 of Duke's first 20 points.
"Using our depth is a big thing," Scheyer said. "We have to continue to figure out who has the hot hand that day. … The ability to play differently with different lineups, I think, is really an advantage."
The Blue Devils led 35-23 at halftime, with Boston College checking in at 27.3% shooting from the field.
Boston College guard Makai Ashton-Langford was limited to less than nine minutes because of a right hamstring injury.
"Not having Makai was a huge (impact)," Grant said. "His ability to calm down his teammates anytime it gets hectic."
SCHEYER SHINING
Scheyer was in charge on the Duke sideline two seasons ago when Boston College last visited. With Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski in quarantine, he oversaw the Blue Devils' 83-82 victory in a mostly empty arena during the pandemic that January night.
SUPER SUB
Grandison has scored in double figures in four games. He has come off the bench in every game after starting more than half of his team's games in his previous four seasons — two with Holy Cross and the past two with Illinois.
"What really matters is win, win, win," Grandison said.
Grandison now has 60 career games with double-figure point totals.
Boston College: The Eagles didn't sustain offense and it was the third game when they failed to reach the 60-point mark. The Eagles have gone nearly three years since last defeating a ranked team and might not have another chance until Duke visits Jan. 7.
Duke: The Blue Devils, who are reigning ACC regular-season champions, showcased various sources of offense and they regularly worked the ball into the lane to set up quality shots. Filipowski's two free throws with 11:29 to play gave the Blue Devils their first player in double figures.
Boston College fell to 0-13 all-time at Cameron Indoor Stadium. … This was Duke's fourth ACC opener against Boston College. The Blue Devils have won three of those.

However, the width of the bottle is not too big which means that it does not occupy much space and hence can be easily packed into an over-night bag as well.

Серпины (, сокращение от , «ингибиторы сериновых протеаз») — группа белков, которые имеют определённое структурное сходство между собой и многие из которых ингибируют сериновые протеазы, то есть протеазы, имеющие серин в активном центре.

Введение
Изначально этим термином обозначали класс белков, специфически ингибирующие определённые сериновые протеазы (например, антитромбин — серпин, специфически ингибирующий сериновую протеазу тромбин). Однако позже оказалось, что некоторые белки, структурно сходные с серпинами, не обладают ингибиторной активностью (например, основной белок яичного белка овальбумин), но тем не менее они также отнесены к серпинам.

Классификация
В 2001 году была опубликована классификация серпинов, по которой 500 белков, отнесённых к серпинам, были разделены на 16 кладов (групп, возникших из одного предшественника). См. (Silverman et al.) в Библиографии.

Основные представители класса
Следующие белки относятся к классу серпинов:

 Сериновые протеазы:
 Альфа-антитрипсин;
 Альфа-антихимотрипсин;
 Альфа-антиплазмин (ингибитор фибринолиза);
 Антитромбин (ингибитор коагуляции, в частности фактора X, фактора IX и тромбина;
 C1-ингибитор;
 Нейросерпин;
 Ингибитор активатора плазминогена-1 и Ингибитор активатора плазминогена-2 (ингибитор фибринолиза);
 Ингибитор белок Z-подобной протеазы (ZPI, инактивирует фактор X и фактор XI)

 Связывающие глобулины и другие белки:
Транскортин
Тироксин-связывающий глобулин
Ангиотензин
 Овальбумин

If you've long considered chicken breast to be bland or boring, think again. Using bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts is a game changer. Follow this simple recipe, and you will have a moist, juicy chicken dish, oozing with flavor. If your herb collection is a little sparse or you have a specific one you prefer, you can easily swap out the fresh herbs as you like for dill, chives, or even rosemary. One bit of this, and you'll never do chicken breast any other way!
Season the outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Place your Stargazer Cast Iron skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add the chicken, skin-side down to skillet and allow to brown, 5-10 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the skillet from oven. Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.
Place the skillet back over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and cook until melted. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of pan. Add stock and cook for 10-15 minutes, until sauce is thickened and reduced.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook until melted. Stir in parsley and thyme and cook for another minute. Taste and adjust as desired. Transfer to serving plates and serve warm.
