Another 3 Dozen Coronavirus Deaths in L.A. County
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Los Angeles County has crossed the 3,000 mark in coronavirus fatalities, but health officials announced another round of business reopenings, including nail salons, bars, tattoo parlors and card rooms.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Thursday announced 36 more deaths due COVID-19, although two of those fatalities were reported Wednesday by health officials in Long Beach and Pasadena. The new fatalities lifted the countywide death toll to 3,027.
The county also confirmed another 1,051 cases, while Long Beach reported 105 more and Pasadena added 16, giving the county an overall total of 78,348.
As of Thursday, there were 1,429 people hospitalized in the county, with 29% of those patients in intensive care units.
The county Thursday again loosened its coronavirus health restrictions, allowing more businesses to reopen beginning Friday, provided they meet required safety protocols. The businesses cleared to reopen are:
-- card rooms, satellite wagering facilities and racetracks with no spectators;
-- personal care services such as nail salons, tattoo parlors, body art studios, piercing shops, massage therapy, skin care and cosmetology business; and
-- bars, wineries, breweries and tasting rooms.
County officials stressed the need for individual businesses to meet required protocols before reopening. Employers and customers will be required to wear face coverings when around other people and maintain social distancing of at least six feet.
Los Angeles County has had a long-standing order requiring residents to wear masks whenever they are mingling with other people outside of their own households. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday codified that order statewide, mandating face masks for people in practically all situations when they are outside of their homes and near other people.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday afternoon that five more workers at the SoFi Stadium construction site in Inglewood had tested positive for the virus. According to The Times, two of them were working on the 6,000-seat performance venue attached to the stadium, while another was working on the stadium's video board, another working in the pump house for an artificial lake and another working in the "Trailer Complex NFL Conference Room.''
The stadium is listed on the county Department of Public Health website as a congregate setting being investigated due to multiple positive cases. As of Thursday, the stadium was listed on the website as having 13 positive cases, with the five new cases reported by The Times boosting that number to 18.
The number of people hospitalized in Los Angeles County has slowly risen over the course of the week, but not dramatically. County health director Barbara Ferrer said Wednesday that the number has been generally holding steady, and is down dramatically from the early days of the pandemic.
Dr. Christina Ghaly, the county's health services director, said the local transmission rate has also remained stable, and there was no immediate fear of hospitals being overwhelmed with patients.
The rate of people who are tested who wind up being positive for COVID-19 is also holding steady at 8%, officials said.
But they warned that people should not get complacent -- stressing the virus is still spreading in the community and residents need to keep taking precautions, even as the economy reopens.
"Given that the vast majority of those living in Los Angeles County are still susceptible to COVID-19 and the infection, we need to rely on a refined set of practices that allow us to get back to work and back to living our lives safely,'' Ghaly said.


WASHINGTON — The American Coatings Association (ACA) presented a series of awards recognizing both professionals and students for their innovative work in coatings technology at the association's 2019 CoatingsTech Conference. The conference, held April 8-10 in Cleveland, featured the CoatingsTech Best Paper Award, Mattiello Memorial Award and Student Poster Session Awards. The conference award presentations took place the morning of April 9, the second day of the technical conference.
Held every two years, the CoatingsTech Conference provides coatings professionals an opportunity to review innovative technologies and applications shaping the industry, as well as regulatory trends and networking opportunities.
The CoatingsTech Best Paper Award was presented to Dr. Linqian Feng, Senior Scientist for Eastman Chemical Co.'s Coatings Application Research Group, for her paper titled, "From Fundamentals to Applications: Understanding BPA-Non-Intent Resin Technology in Food Contact Metal Packaging Coatings." Feng addressed how Eastman applied a suite of methods and analysis techniques — from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cathodic disbanding, to mechanical properties, hydrolytic stability and solvent extraction properties — for a resin development strategy for novel non-BPA resins in metal packaging coating applications.
Dr. Michael Diebold, who delivered the conference's Mattiello Memorial Lecture, received the Joseph J. Mattiello Lecture Award. Diebold, Technical Fellow, R&D, at Chemours Co., delivered a lecture titled, "Optimizing the Benefits of TiO2 in Paints." The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to science, technology, and/or engineering related to the coatings industry, honoring its namesake, Joseph J. Mattiello, who did much to expand the application of science in the decorative and protective coatings field. Diebold was selected for the award through a peer-nomination process. Over the course of his career, a major focus of his attention has been improving paint opacity by optimizing light scattering.
Two Student Poster Awards were given to students involved in coatings research, who presented their findings during the CoatingsTech Conference's poster competition. This forum offered a non-commercial arena for new ideas and techniques, and a showcase for preliminary results related to chemistry, engineering, human relationship, or other disciplines fundamental to paint, coatings, varnish, lacquer, or related protective and decorative coatings.


If you're looking for a life partner, chances are you want someone who's honest, loyal, thoughtful and caring. But what about the subtler details? Here are 12 less than obvious traits that women who are looking for a keeper should keep in mind when looking for husband material.
A man worth keeping is secure about himself and will not only support your success, but also celebrate it. He will praise your efforts and be there to lend an ear when you fall. He will share in your joys and be there to help pick you up. Your success will be about you, not about him.
2. He values gender equality.
He is comfortable in the kitchen and doesn't feel emasculated by running the vacuum. He can handle you mowing the yard, changing the oil, or washing the vehicles. He can be a bread-winner or a stay at home father. A man's true views on gender roles often tell a lot about his personality and relationship style.
Men who aren't so great about doing their fair share around the house claim that they don't see dishes in the sink, scattered toys or clothes on the floor. Men who notice details in their environment have that extra bit of awareness needed to be full contributors in a household.
4. He likes to dream, and sometime big.
Does your guy dream about the perfect vacation, the second house on the beach, a house full of kids or any other fabulous plans? Thinking and dreaming big suggests that he has goals, ambitions and fun in his future. If he's all about practicality and simple stability he might not be the guy to help you fulfill your wildest dreams and fantasies. Life's too short for that.
5. He is a realistic optimist.
Sick kids, sleepless nights, financial stress, aging parents and your own mortality can chip away at anyone's optimism. A partner who is a natural optimist can help you through those tough times with big doses of hope, laughter and a big picture outlook on life.
6. He uses the word "we".
When speaking about future plans he includes you in them. You know that he is serious about you and not just having fun for the moment.
7. He lives like an adult.
He has his own apartment or house, no roommate situations, is settled in his career and is done with his party days.
8. He treats you like a lady.
The way he treats people, including his friends and family, especially his mother, is a good indicator of what kind of husband he will be.
10. He remembers the little things.
Any guy will remember your birthday. The guy who remembers the little things, especially, is a true keeper. If he's paying attention to the little things you say and do, you can be sure he won't ignore things that are important to you.
11. He offers to help without you asking.
If he is willing to go out of his way to help you, without you having to ask, you'll know he truly cares about you. You'll be able to count on him as a true partner.
12. He's attracted to you (with or without the extra 10 pounds).
Our bodies change over time, especially post-pregnancy. If you've found a guy who loves your body in any form, you'll feel much more secure in the relationship over the long term.

What Occupation? New Generation of Palestinian Writers Shifts Focus From Politics to 'Life Itself'
Young Arabic-language writers in Israel are tackling the Palestinian predicament from their own point of view rather than obsessing about the Nakba

"We are not a reading people, and there are light years between civilization and us," my high school principal in Kafr Raina in the Lower Galilee would say over the loudspeaker once a week before we entered our morning classes. This statement seeped into the consciousness of the sleepy students and shaped their view of reality. Although the school library was big, it was pretty quiet.

The teachers also perpetuated the saying "the Arab people are not a reading people." They stood helpless in front of us with Arab literature curricula that hadn't been refreshed for years. They were stuck with boring, modernist Egyptian literature.
"If I had sufficed with what I learned in school, I would have been illiterate," says Hisham Nafaa, a writer and journalist from Beit Jann who lives in Haifa. "I don't think the Education Ministry understands that part of its job is to provide culture to Arab society."

The writer Ala Hlehel, who lives in Acre, thought that change was finally coming. "A person in the Education Ministry, who is among those responsible for the Arab literature curriculum in the Arab high schools, called me and said they wanted to introduce two of my short novels," he says. "I agreed. It made me happy that Palestinian students would get to know my work."
Months later, the same person called back and apologized. "'There is sex in your book,' he told me. 'It's impossible to add it to the curriculum.'"
Hlehel's experience won't surprise any Arab high school graduate in Israel. Everyone knows that the material in the curriculum is outdated, that the libraries are filled mainly with encyclopedias and reference books, and that the teachers have no authority to teach anything beyond the basic demands.
It wasn't always so. During the British Mandate from 1920 to 1948, Arab high society enjoyed a thriving cultural scene in Jaffa, Haifa and Jerusalem. It consisted of theaters, opera houses, cinemas and newspapers. It was cut short by the events of the Nakba (Catastrophe) – when more than 700,000 Arabs fled or were expelled from their homes during the 1947-49 war.
The elite who took part in culture fled or were expelled, and the people left behind lived for years under military rule; they largely became a society of laborers in a Jewish economy.
But the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War actually caused a rise in cultural consumption, mainly literary. Hlehel points to two factors: the opening of the border with the West Bank and the establishment of printing presses.
"The printing-press owners would travel to the West Bank, bring back one copy of every book, reproduce them and sell them," he says." For better or worse, those unauthorized copies made a significant contribution to the Arab literature industry in Israel. On the one hand, the publishers in Arab countries often desisted from lawsuits out of fear of a normalization with Israel, and on the other the people got used to these books' cheap prices and refused to pay more."
The power of the Communist Party, known as Maki, in the Arab community also contributed to the flourishing of the written word.
"Even before 1948, the party received broad financial support from the Soviet Union," Hlehel says. Maki bought printing presses and founded magazines as well as a newspaper, the Haifa-based Al-Ittihad, which is still in circulation.
"This mechanism created a cohort of journalists who lived and breathed the Arabic language, and raised within it a generation of writers," he says. Examples include Mahmoud Darwish (1941-2008), an icon of Palestinian culture, and the poet and Knesset member Tawfiq Ziad (1929-1994).
Dr. Basilius Bawardi, a senior lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, tends to agree. "The Nakba put literature into a tragic, national framework. Darwish said, 'Save us from this cruel love,'" Bawardi says, referring to a statement that first appeared in a local paper in 1968 and in the London-based newspaper Al-Arab in 1977.
"But the era continued, and we still couldn't join the Palestinian literary movement, which included the Palestinian existence living within it. I ask myself sometimes what value there is today to the things that were written by the children of the rocks [Palestinian children during the first intifada]. Nothing. On the other hand, Palestinian literature with other dimensions like that of Samih Al-Qasim and Mahmoud Darwish is still relevant."

Other newspapers like Panorama (which currently operates the popular website Panet), Al-Sonara and Kol al-Arab were founded in the late 1980s in Israel. Literary creative lagged, but it seems change is slowly happening. In recent years, a generation of young Palestinian writers has begun to write about the Palestinian predicament from their point of view, about "life itself."
There are writers like Hisham Nafaa, whose book "Delicate Collapse" describes the experience of writing, and Majd Kayyal, whose debut book this year "The Tragedy of Sayed Matar" describes Palestinian existence seven decades after the Nakba and puts women front and center. There's also Ali Muasi, whose poetry book "If There Hadn't Been an Apple" discusses political and personal issues, and Asmaa Azaiza, who writes about her personal life in two books of poetry. They all talk about the experiences of young people who grew up in Israel, the third generation of the Nakba, who only know pre-1948 Palestine through the eyes of their grandparents.
This generation realized that literature dedicated only to the conflict prevents taking a stand against other issues like patriarchy or homophobia. "A writer sometimes needs to 'burn the flag,'" Hlehel says. "He cares as a writer. If my people are doing good things, I'll write about them. If they're doing bad things, I'll l criticize them. A writer for a cause can't be under the umbrella of a party or leader."
Hisham Nafaa.
While the generation of young writers reads newspapers and Arab literature, these outlets aren't the main artery of their creativity. They write about themselves or their lives, while the Israel in which they live only fills a technical aspect in their creativity.
According to Bawardi, a changing of the guard is underway, after which Palestinian writing will be able to expand its borders. "This is a problem reflected in the literature," he says. He calls it "the worrying schizophrenia."
As he puts it: "On the one hand, I call for liberation from the occupation, and on the other hand I'm patriarchal and conservative. I see the light in the new generation. We're still in a struggle between the old and the new, between conservative tradition and liberation. The new generation creates an atmosphere of exchanging ideas whose goal is to transition us from these two aspects."
Bawardi believes that some of the conservativism in the literature lies in the rural nature of Palestinian society. "There was no process of urbanization as there should have been, and without the experience of the city, which contains all the conflicts of life, and which constitutes the gamut of experiences, opportunities and contradictions, there is insufficient cultural development," he says.
Hlehel also mentions the movement of people to the big cities as a trigger for a creative process. "There is no big scene, and we have no good cadre of artists," he says. "There are cultural islands that are created with the move to cities like Haifa and Jaffa, but it has yet to ripen completely. There's a certain fanaticism in the villages, and it's hard to be creative there."
The young voices who represent the rare islands of culture (some of whom refused to talk to Haaretz for political reasons) are forced to cope with a lack of bookstores, publishers and financial support perpetuating the sad state of Palestinian literature in Israel. "Our life isn't easy and doesn't lack existential cares," Nafaa says, "but I believe that culture and literature will improve us as a society if we put them at the center of affairs."
The current generation is also forced to suffer skepticism abroad. There are no major Arabic-language publishers in Israel. "A Lebanese publisher was supposed to release my first novel in 2009. I had already signed a contract," Nafaa says. "But they simply disappeared on me and stopped answering my letters."
Later he approached a smaller publisher that was also Lebanese. "When I read their answer I started crying," he says. Referring to Israelis who identify as Palestinians, he said the publisher wrote back: "We love and appreciate you all, but we can't work with someone who holds an Israeli passport."
After his two attempts failed, Nafaa published his books with local presses. "The furthest I got in distribution was the novels that reached Ramallah," he says. "I don't think that's terrible because this is my target audience, but I would have liked more exposure."
"It bothers me that they treat us like black sheep," Nafaa adds. "It's nice that we have our own characteristics, but I also want exposure for my work, and to be treated like everyone else in the Arab world. I don't exist for a Lebanese publisher, not as a writer, not as a name, not as a text. We're stuck in this place because we have an iron curtain between us and the Arab world."
Hlehel and Nafaa note that economic factors also pose an obstacle to anyone who wants to write. "We have no official body dealing with culture," Hlehel says. "We have no Culture Ministry of our own, and the oversight committee that should deal with us is too busy with who's being more patriotic than the other."
Nafaa adds: "You have to understand that we need to provide the writer with the most fitting conditions for writing a book. The culture branch in the oversight committee can help."
For the time being, private money comes into play. The A.M. Qattan Foundation has awarded prizes to Palestinian writers both in the West Bank and Israel for 15 years. It has also helped them get name recognition in Arab countries. The foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 1993 in England and now operates out of Ramallah. Prize winners include Asmaa Azaiza and Majd Kayyal as well as Hlehel.

In the seventh episode of "The Filmmaker," a dramatic series written by Sayed Kashua, the protagonist Kateb (Yousef Sweid) participates in a writers' conference in Italy to which he's invited as the Israeli representative. At the conference, pro-Palestinian activists accuse him of normalizing the occupation and collaborating with the Zionist state. The question that the episode raises is what makes literature Palestinian literature?
"Sayed is a Palestinian writer, period," says Hlehel, a close friend of Kashua. "I remember he once said he would write a book in Arabic. He would call me up all depressed and tell me, 'Ala, I'm despondent, I stare for hours at the screen and don't manage to write anything." According to Hlehel, what defines a work as Palestinian isn't the language in which it's written, or the writer's political opinions, but rather his identity.
"The fact that Hebrew is a politically charged language for us doesn't mean that the author who writes in it isn't Palestinian," Hlehel says. "Even in the Koran there are over 100 words whose origin is Greek. Languages are dynamic. It's important that you feel comfortable with the language, and that you have a storytelling talent. Even if you only write your own story, you're writing it from a Palestinian place. The Palestinian story isn't only checkpoints and stones."

A researcher at BYU, my alma mater, found in a study that 44% of people are "larks" like me, another 32% are "owls" and 24% are undifferentiated.
Dr. Jeffry H. Larson, who graduated a year before I did, also found that people whose rhythms are mismatched are far more likely to argue and to do so more often.
Researchers at Harvard and the University of Utah found that this can also impact when people are most likely to lie.
Further, researchers at the University of Washington, Johns Hopkins and Georgetown have found that when energy wanes, as it does later in the day for "larks" and earlier for "owls," is also the time of day overall when people are more likely to be unethical.
For some time now, researchers have studied what they call "social jetlag" and found correlations to our chronology. This is what some people feel when they go back to work on Monday or after a vacation.
It is also something that many college graduates are about to experience as they shift into the workforce.
Studies of "presenteeism" (present in body but not in mind,) note that it costs nearly $80 billion in annual lost productivity.
Human performance decreases at night by 5%-15%. Interestingly, turnover drops by more than half when employees are able to modify a select a schedule compared to when mandated.
Some research has found links between "owls" and smoking and obesity. Other research has found that "owls" are also potentially more creative and possibly have slightly higher IQs.
It isn't likely that a person can change their chronology, and there are some well documented health reasons for why we sleep and fast at night.
Flex time is a solution but so is encouraging people in the workforce to be more conscious and respectful of the ebb and flow of their own energy as well as that of others so that they take on big projects when they are operating with high energy.
It may be that teams should be assembled, in part, using compatibility in this regard as criteria.
Years ago, during my four-decade career as a community marketing executive, I set a rule that people who helped me protect my calendar could set no more than one meeting for me in the morning and one in the afternoon without first clearing an exception.
This is what Dr. Christine Carter at UC-Berkley, the author of the new book The Sweet Spot: How to Find Your Groove at Home and Work, calls the "minimum effective dose" strategy.
I can also see in hindsight, how some people who are unethical and savvy at manipulation, probably took care to select meeting times where the potential for unethical outcomes was most probable.

Q: Split columns in R by space delimiter I have a dataset in the following format
{r}
Name Start               End
Abc  01/05/2015 00:00    01/06/2015 00:00
bbb  05/04/2015 00:00    05/05/2015 00:00

I would like to convert this data frame in the following format
{r}
Name Start      End        Month
Abc  01/05/2015 01/06/2015 January
bbb  05/04/2015 05/05/2015 May

Essentially, I would like to split the columns based by a space delimiter and then convert each date to a month.
The name of my data frame is ba. Initially the date column was a factor and I converted it into a character. The I tried using strsplit().
{r}
ba$time <- strsplit(ba$Start," ")

and I get this output c("01/05/2016", "00:00")
Can someone please help me with this.

A: We loop through the 2nd and 3rd columns ('Start', 'End') using lapply, match one or more space (\\s+) followed by characters till the end of the string and replace it with '', assign the output back.  Create the "Month" column by converting the 'Start' to Date class, extract the month using format.
ba[2:3] <- lapply(ba[2:3], sub, pattern="\\s+.*", replacement="")
ba$Month <- format(as.Date(ba$Start, format='%m/%d/%Y'), '%B')
ba
#  Name      Start        End     Month
#1  Abc 01/05/2015 01/06/2015   January
#2  bbb 05/04/2015 05/05/2015       May

Friends of Marija approached her one day asking her to attend a special family gathering in which they had planned to consecrate all generations of their family, from the oldest to the youngest, to Our Lady. They wanted to do this in the presence of Our Lady in an apparition. Marija was overjoyed in seeing Our Lady's reaction to this consecration. She excitedly told the family that Our Lady had said, "You will never regret this consecration. Your children will never regret this consecration. Your children's children, all your generations, will never regret this consecration". Whether you are here with your family, or are the only believer in your family, make this consecration from your heart, and you will see, in the futurem that you will never regret it!

5 Women At The Forefront Of Blockchain Technology Speaking At New York Blockchain Week
Rachel Wolfson Contributor
I write about crypto, women in crypto and blockchain technology.
New York, USA - 03 24 2018: Fifth Avenue in Manhattan with yellow taxi cabs and people. Fifth Avenue in New York City known for its luxury retail shops.
High demand has remained in place for talent in tech, but reports show that only 20% of those in tech-related fields are female. As emphasis to increase female presence in the blockchain space gathers momentum, strong leaders are emerging to map out and establish frameworks that are both easy to adopt and highly sustainable. Below are a few areas in blockchain where women are directly pushing the industry forward.
Each of the women mentioned will also be speaking next month during New York Blockchain Week, a weeklong gathering of leaders and newcomers in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space. New York Blockchain Week is centered around Consensus, an event hosted by CoinDesk that has been taking place in New York since 2015. New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) will partner with CoinDesk for the third time to host New York Blockchain Week. Blockchain Week NYC is expected to draw thousands from the global blockchain industry as New York City continues to grow as a major market for blockchain jobs and innovation.
Legislative Reform
After more than two decades on Wall Street, Caitlin Long co-founded the Wyoming Blockchain Coalition. As the state made efforts to become more innovative, they honed in on ways to implement economic diversification. The result, spearheaded by Long, is sweeping reform, creating legislative parameters that give blockchain the opportunity to flourish. Among the numerous new bills that have been enacted in Wyoming is HB101, providing for the maintenance of corporate records of Wyoming entities via blockchain.
"The developments in Wyoming over the past year have been so positive for both the industry and Wyoming. We are paving the way for how to provide clarity to blockchain developers about what's legal and what's not," said Long, who will speak more about Wyoming's new legislation at Fluidity Summit.
Educating Future Leaders
Donna Redel has been a driving force for a generation in the evolution of finance's governance and performance. Following her tenure as the chairman at COMEX, CTO for Prudential Securities, and Managing Director and Board member at the World Economic Forum, her focus is now on educating future leaders. Redel is a professor at Fordham Law, teaching courses on blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and is a leading advocate for the financial literacy of women.
"Several industries stand to benefit dramatically from blockchain technology. Ensuring that our youth, particularly our young women, understand the historical context of these industries is the foundation of our future success," said Redel, who will speak about leadership for the industry at Ethereal Summit.
Codifying Compliance
A critical component to successfully integrate blockchain technology is to ensure that those building financial applications have a strong understanding of the regulation of pertinent markets and how to navigate them. Alice Henshaw is an industry-leading Solidity engineer who creates smart contracts that can be written to automatically satisfy regulatory compliance requirements for digital assets. A computer science graduate of Oxford University, Henshaw has designed and implemented smart contract systems responsible for more than $100M in blockchain-based transaction volume.
"As more assets are tokenized it's important to remember that they are subject to many of the same regulations as their physical counterparts. With blockchain we can encode compliance into the assets themselves, thereby making illegal transactions impossible to carry out," said Henshaw.
Institutional Adoption
Factora is a recent arrival to the blockchain scene, a team with extensive experience in both structured finance and blockchain technology on a mission to upgrade financial infrastructure. Annelise Osborne is a member of the executive team and a veteran of highly respected financial firms including Moody's. Her industry experience contributes to the company's unique perspective to ensure blockchain technology is developed with the end users in mind.
"This technology presents legacy financial structures a unique opportunity to truly evolve—the time is now to create the correct blueprint for this evolution both in the near term and for generations to come," Osborne told me.
Translating blockchain's benefits such that stakeholders at firms can easily visualize how it will improve daily business processes all the way up to helping shape strategy is another central factor in facilitating adoption of the technology. Kim Cope is a founding member of CryptoKitties and Blockchain Product Manager at Dapper Labs, with a mission to bring blockchain its first billion users. She works closely with companies and governments in developing their own blockchain strategies to make on-chain efficiencies accessible to a mainstream audience.
"This technology is so versatile and powerful, but if it's ever going to be effectively implemented, it needs to be designed for mainstream audiences. For mainstream audiences to embrace this technology, it needs to be presented in terms those audiences understand," said Cope, who will speak more about this at Strongurl BLunch / Token Summit.

2020 Toyota Highlander Limited Changes, Price, Interior, News, Design – The Toyota Highlander is restored for the present year, acquiring an organisation new 8-10-acceleration transmission, a current V6 motor, new clip ranges and well-balanced arranging. A large arrangement of self-confidence innovations along with can get the possibility to be ordinary gadgets. This coming year indicates the root significant enhance to the Highlander considering the method in which it ultimately was really very last these days made in 2017. The 2020 Highlander can provide a progression of upgrades that will help it to keep on continuing to keep its dominating aggressiveness in a school that is viewed as the best suited in the industrial centre.
Safety-mindful buyers will be happy to find out there is a shortage of security improvements comprised of as frequent models on each and every of the 2020 Toyota Highlander. We totally have already been inspired with the Highlander, together with the overhauls for 2020 will most likely than not tension its remaining as among the very best 3-drive hybrids near to the business. The adversaries continue to be to increment, by and through. The Honda Pilot was entirely patched up in 2014, with broadened refinement along with an auto like voyaging personality, while the gutsy Ford Tourist was Furthermore revived just a year in the earlier. In several locations, the great and sturdy Guide clear of Durango and smart Ford Explorer provides explicit attention.
Dazzle put sticking with has wound up becoming typical on the XLE, Minimal, as well as Little Platinum (in the prior it was not instantly reachable about the XLE). The critical Minimal Platinum review will most likely be designed with a 360-verification see video camera as standard rigging, and moreover, all Highlanders will, without a doubt, be created with 4 Frequent new serials bring units (in 2015's plan acquired merely a single). Despite the proven fact that exterior is changed for 2020, the lodge is attached considering that the outbound object. It is substance amazing is forceful for the school, although it disillusions genuine leading of the line. Nearly, it executes astoundingly correctly; a great deal required to a one particular-of-a-kind incorporated the owner on the dashboard that, as a particular circumstance. Could job as a quieting location for cell phones as nicely as many other tiny personal centres not to mention the shockingly massive adding out proprietor underneath the game playing method armrest.
The 2020 Toyota Highlander is genuinely a 3-press small measurements hybrid provided in LE, LE Additionally, XLE, SE, Restricted and moreover, Small Platinum conditioned can vary. Seven-tourist sitting down is regular on the LE, LE And what is much more, and XLE, even though 7-explorer sitting down (which incorporate up coming-drive chief's chairs as an alternative of a 3-guy or woman work desk) is low-necessary on the Minimal and also Constrained Platinum. Understand that the appropriate Highlander Crossbreed is evaluated as a remain solitary. New for 2017 concentration is the SE minimise education, with a lot more strenuous revocation, 19-in. Comes to an end as well as darkish outdoors surface area places conditioned issues. An in-work self-sufficient of the points offered in each cut period is not right away reachable, despite, but recorded right here are just a part of the changes for 2020.
The constant powertrain for the 2020 Toyota Highlander continues getting a 2.7-litre 4-pipe, more than most likely looking at the 185 hp in the organisation 2016 model. That motor remains mated to a 6-tempo auto. More than this may be Toyota's familiar 3.5-litre V-6, which by and by consists of especially gas infusions and, ideally, will basic principle the 270 HP the motor delivers in the 2016 variant. The V-6 arrives requirement with the 8-price vehicle. Close to the most significant level of the collection is the Highlander Crossbreed, which employs the V-6 as the key getting rid of perspective in spite of should have a combined end result about 280 Hewlett Packard. This choice is dependant on an in digital agreement oversaw CVT. A 3.5-litre V6 is additionally available in the LE and furthermore regular on the vast majority of other trims. For 2020, this motor has sincerely been amazingly changed by getting more possible as well as execute romance.
Prices have generally not been disclosed, whatever the case, the Indiana-created 2020 Toyota Highlander collection will contact base in car dealerships this drop. It can without a doubt do combat within of a creating alongside quickly propelling area, combining it with setting up kinds such as the Ford Explorer, Honda Preliminary and also Nissan Pathfinder, in spite of all-new competition made-up of the Mazda CX-9 or even more GMC Acadia.


Stony Brook University has a large campus on the north shore of Long Island in New York state. The campus is comprised of approximately 1,039 acres and includes world-class research and sports facilities. There are several other campuses including a Manhattan Campus, a Southampton campus and a research park. In addition, the university is one of the joint managers of the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Along with Princeton, Stanford and the University of California, they manage this world-class laboratory that promotes research collaboration. The school was founded in 1947 and is one of the State University of New York's four University centers. It has also been ranked in the top 1 percent of higher education institutions in the world on a prestigious list curated by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
Stony Brook University has been awarded accreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The university received its first accreditation from this awarding body in 1957.
Students should check with their intended department or major to learn more about other application requirements that are particular to a field of study. Students should be reminded that even if they are not accepted into their major upon admission, they can reapply to join the program after the requirements have been met.
The application requirements for entry into the Graduate School are more clearly defined than they are in undergraduate programs. Stony Brook University requires the completion of an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution. They also require that each applicant submits a GPA of at least 3.0 on the 4.0 scale. Students will be required to provide the official transcripts from their most recent undergraduate degrees alongside their application. Students applying to the Graduate School are also required to submit letters of recommendation. Depending on their field of study, they may also be required to submit GRE test scores.
Tuition at Stony Brook University is estimated to reach $6,470 for undergraduates that are residents in the state of New York. Out of state and international students will pay approximately $21,550 in tuition for each academic year. These costs do not include fees that are set at $2,388. They also do not include room, board, personal expenses or individual course materials such as books.
Students who are participating in a graduate program at Stony Brook University will be assessed a tuition fee of $10,870 per academic year if they are a resident of the state of New York. If the student is an out of state resident or is an international student, the tuition fee is $22,210 per academic year. Tuition is not inclusive of a $1,541 fee or of accommodation, personal expenses or ancillary costs of certain courses.
Stony Brook University prides itself on its affordability, especially compared to similarly ranked institutions. This allows students to graduate with smaller amounts of debt and with less likelihood of defaulting on a loan. As a result, Stony Brook University has been named to several lists of affordable top universities including Kiplinger's list of 35 Best Values and the U.S. News & World Report's list of top 100 universities.
While Stony Brook University offers more than 200 academic programs for students, many students choose to enroll in programs within the sciences. The most popular majors undertaken as an undergraduate degree at Stony Brook University include Biology, Health Science, Business Management and Computer Science. A science focus is not surprising when students consider the science and business facilities available at the school.
Between the national laboratories, the business incubators, and the highly respected faculty, the school has become a center for science on the eastern seaboard. 98% of the school's faculty hold doctoral degrees within their fields. The staff at the university are also responsible for at least 1,990 different inventions as well as over 500 U.S. patents. The faculty are also active in mentorships. As a result, the university has become an excellent incubator for emerging talent in science.
Student life is further compounded by the proximity to both the coast and the world class opportunities offered by New York City, which is only 60 miles away. The campus is home to only 15,385 undergraduates which helps ensure small class sizes and fewer restraints on resources.
One of the most important parts of the student experience is the quality of education provided at an affordable tuition rate. The university shares facilities with schools whose tuition is as much as 10 times the tuition rate for New York residents at Stony Brook University. Having access to world-class facilities with a smaller financial burden provides benefits to students both during their studies after.
Students from Stony Brook University are less likely to default on their student loans after graduation. They also graduate with debt that is significantly lower than the national average. Beyond this, almost 90% of the most recent graduates from Stony Brook University are now either employed or furthering their studies. The return on the student's small financial investment is estimated to be at $1 million over 30 years.
Stony Brook University offers students the ability to study with leading researchers at world-class institutions without leaving them with significant financial burdens.


Have you ever been to Rios carnival?
What was it like? Best bits? Good/bad experiences? How far in advance did you have to book? Was it expensive?
All is in the summary really, would love to see photos and just hear your experiences of the carnival really! I am planning on being there for march 2011, baring in mind ive never been to south america before..do you think its a good way to immerse myself? Is there any advise or things you wish you'd known before you went?
Here are some blogs which may interest you.
Rio Carnival 2008 - the warm-up!
I have been to Rio De Janeiro five times as well! Rio Carnaval is the greatest show on earth. I would definitely recommend you visit this city and go for Rio Carnaval. The official language in Brazil is Portuguese so I would brush up on that language before you go. Don't worry, it is not necessary for you to be fluent to have a good time, but if you some some basic stuff before hand, that would help.


When people think about negotiation, bluffing is one of the first techniques that comes to mind. While it is effective, I have to tell you upfront that it's not a technique I utilize. It is a bit too deceptive for my tastes and, quite frankly, the risks outweigh the rewards. I wouldn't utilize this technique even if I didn't have ethical concerns.
However, despite this, it's important to make sure that you know as many negotiation strategies and tactics as possible, even if you don't plan on using the strategy yourself. Why? Because other people will use these tactics against you and you need to be prepared.
Bluffing is a threat a person makes to do something that they don't actually plan on doing. Essentially, it's one of the many versions of a lie. The reason why bluffing is effective is that it creates pressure on the other side. As a result, the threatened party gives the bluffer something to alleviate the pressure.
There should always be a give and take in negotiation. Think of negotiation like a dance, you go back and forth constantly giving and taking. Bluffing creates an imbalance in the natural negotiation relationship because, since the threat behind the bluff was untrue, there was no give, there was only take.
As you dig deeper you'll realize that bluffing actually is an incredibly high-risk maneuver. The bluffers seek short-term gain and lose sight of the potential losses. When bluffs fail, they fail epically and can create serious problems for you going forward.
Credibility is established through consistency and followthrough. If you decide to bluff and the other party calls you on a bluff, you are left exposed and you lose credibility. This loss of credibility results in damage to your reputation. If you behave badly in business, it is unlikely that the other side is going to keep that fact to themself.
When you develop a reputation for lying or bluffing in negotiations. You don't just lose credibility; your words lose persuasive value.
Here's an example: Imagine that a Company is in dire need of legal representation but they got so caught up in their business that they lost track of the court deadline. Now they're in a situation where they need to appear in court in less than two weeks and they still haven't found an attorney to handle their case. Because of this, and due to the complexity of the case, they need to retain an attorney within the next two days. The CEO has a budget of $4,500 for legal matters and the lawyer would be willing to accept a retainer of $4,100. Given the time constraints, the CEO was only able to get a meeting with one attorney who would be willing to take the case. The conversation below is an example of the CEO bluffing in an attempt to get a lower quote.
After hearing that question "what's the lowest you'd be willing to go" the lawyer realized that the statement "we wouldn't be willing to go any lower than $3,600" was a bluff. If that were truly their baseline, why would the CEO ask that question? Now the lawyer has reason not only to be skeptical of the baseline presented by the CEO, the lawyer is also questioning whether there were other offers. Although she came to the negotiation table with flexibility, the lawyer's strongest move right now is to hold at the original $4,800 offer and wait to see if the CEO comes back. If the CEO comes back, the balance of power has shifted strongly in favor of the attorney. Confident that she is the only attorney in talks with the Company, she can take her time knowing that as time ticks by, their need for an attorney gets greater. Because of this shift in power she is now more likely to get the retainer she wants and deserves.
Although bluffing is a powerful tool, there are other similar tools you could use that have the same level of efficacy with lower risk.
Instead of bluffing I offer warnings. What's the difference between bluffing and warning? Follow through.
When I warn people I alert them to the specific ramifications of their actions. I do this by using a technique called a warning sandwich.
3. Close with something positive/constructive/truthful.
4. I then invite them to continue negotiating.
This essentially accomplishes the same goal as a bluff; however, it does so without the risks associated with bluffing. If the Lawyer walks away, that's the end of the negotiation. Considering the budget constraints, $4,800 was simply not a deal that was feasible. If the negotiation continues, the CEO didn't lose any credibility, persuasive power, or suffer damage to her credibility.
How do you protect yourself against a bluffer?
If this is the first time you've heard me say this, it will certainly not be the last. When you listen to people in negotiations always ask yourself if what they are saying is actual information in the form of verifiable facts or if it is simply a collection of words meant to influence you.
All of this was said to persuade the lawyer but none of it was bolstered by verifiable, objective fact. These statements are examples of influence, not information. Never allow yourself to change your position based solely on statements made to influence you.
People will legitimize their bluffs with confidence. Never let someone else's confidence persuade you. A study of jurors revealed that confident witnesses are more likely to be seen as credible but studies have demonstrated that confidence doesn't lead to higher accuracy. Ask yourself, is confidence information or influence?
Hostility and anger are emotions that people use to intimidate. You should be skeptical if someone demonstrates hostility and aggression that is coupled with a threat. Think about it, if someone is apparently furious with you and threatens to exercise a better offer, why would they still be talking to you? Why would they not simply leave and accept the better offer?
1. You've put them in time out. It gives them the opportunity to cool off.
2. You've given them the opportunity to reevaluate their threat and come back to negotiate in good faith.
How do you protect yourself from a bluff?
When someone is bluffing you have three choices.
1. Know your options- knowing your alternatives gives you confidence and relieves anxiety. If someone is threatening to walk away because a certain price doesn't work for you it's okay, because you know what you're going to do if a deal doesn't go through. In most scenarios it's not going to ruin your life or career. When you know this beforehand you'll feel more confident letting go of a bad deal. So if someone is bluffing and you are willing to let them, you are essentially calling them on their bluff. If they subsequently come back to the negotiating table, you have significantly more leverage because you know they need the deal more than they initially led on.
2. Take your time- Remember that bluffs create pressure. When you're under pressure you'll make mistakes. Expose the bluff- ask open-ended questions to show that you know it's not true.
3. Ignore the bluff (my personal favorite)- do you know why I don't talk to the ghost in my bedroom? Because there is no ghost in my bedroom! It doesn't exist. Why would I engage with something that isn't real? Similarly, if someone hits me with a bluff, if I've done my research, I should be reasonably certain that it doesn't exist and can therefore be ignored. Also, the more you engage with a bluff, the more "real" it becomes. By engaging with the bluff you are inadvertently giving it more credibility and power.
Dealing with bluffs and threats is never easy. When you are in the moment it can be really scary; I get that. Trust me, if you take your time and implement these techniques, I guarantee that you're going to have better outcomes.

Acerca de Christopher Cross
It's unclear whether or not the term "wimp rock" was born shortly after Christopher Cross released "Sailing" in 1980, but his ultra-Lite production values and wispy falsetto make a pretty good case for the argument. A string of airy hits with unbelievably perfect hooks culminated in the immortal "Arthur's Theme (the Best That You Can Do)" a #1 smash from the soundtrack to the fun-lovin'-est depiction of a fatal disease (alcoholism) ever shot. Cross' music defined the cocaine-riddled transition of America from the free-for-all of the Disco Era to the paranoid hangover of the '80s. The songs are tastefully extravagant and dripping with '70s pseudo-liberal inspiration, air-tight studio craft, and Beatles-via-Bob Welch melodies. While the passage of time may not have been so kind to Cross' credibility as an artist, the fact of his uncommon ability with a hook remains in these instant atmosphere-inducing, unforgettable songs.

Q: How to insert formatting directives into a string-appending command? The \additem command appends an item to a comma-separated list, and \mylist typesets that list.
Works:
\documentclass {article}
\newcommand\mylist {\relax}

\newcommand\additem [1]
{\edef\mylist
 {\mylist
  \if\mylist\relax\else
   ,
  \fi
  #1}}

\begin {document}
\additem {a}
\additem {b}
\additem {c}
\mylist
\end {document}

Now, I want to make each item bold, but not the comma. However, if I replace #1 with, say, \textbf{#1}, I get this error:
! Undefined control sequence.
\GenericError  ...
                                                    #4  \errhelp \@err@     ...
l.15 \additem {a}

What is wrong with my code? How can I make each item bold?
Doesn't work:
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand\mylist{\relax}

\newcommand\additem [1]
{\edef\mylist
 {\mylist
  \if\mylist\relax\else
   ,
  \fi
  \textbf{#1}}}

\begin {document}

\additem {a}
\additem {b}
\additem {c}

\mylist

\end {document}

A: You have to use \protected@edef (and fix the test for emptyness)
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand\mylist{}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\additem [1]
{\protected@edef\mylist
 {\mylist
  \if\relax\detokenize\expandafter{\mylist}\relax\else
   ,
  \fi
  \textbf{#1}}}
\makeatother

\begin {document}

\additem {a}
\additem {b}
\additem {c}

\mylist

\end {document}

Commands like \textbf don't survive \edef, because they must perform assignments. You could use \noexpand\textbf, but adding more complex items to your list would lead to the same problem (try \additem{\'a}).
Using \protected@edef neutralizes the problems with such commands. Moreover, the test \if\mylist\relax is wrong to begin with: in your original version (without \textbf), doing \additem{aa}\additem{b} would give funny results. Here I use a test for emptyness derived from How to check if a macro value is empty or will not create text with plain TeX conditionals? (with the change that we need to look at the first level expansion of \mylist).
Another version with xparse that allows for more than one list and is free from this problem because it doesn't use \edef.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{xparse}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\NewDocumentCommand{\additem}{O{default}m}
 {
  \clist_if_exist:cF { l_eduardo_list_#1_clist }
   {

A: Your problem is that the adding of new item is done via \edef but the macro \textbf is not simply expandable in \edef. It is much better to do adding new items to a list without \edef. Then all curious macros can be as parameter of \additem, i.e. an added item. You can correct your definition in such way:
\def\mylist{}
\def\additem#1{\ifx\mylist\empty \def\mylist{#1}\else
   \expandafter\def\expandafter\mylist\expandafter{\mylist, #1}\fi
}

Of course, if you need to have items in bold then you can replace #1 to {\bf#1} at two places in the macro body (or, if you really use LaTeX then you can use LaTeX specific \textbf{#1}).

Kognitív disszonancia: amikor utálom a buzikat meg a másokat úgy általában, valaki viszont rámutat, hogy az egyik kedvenc énekesem (Freddy Mercury) egyszerre volt meleg és zanzibári származású. Ilyenkor el kéne rajta gondolkodnom, hogy igazam van-e, amikor általában utálom a melegeket és a máshonnan érkezetteket, de ezzel én kényelmetlen helyzetbe kerülnék, mert esetleg meg kéne kerdőjeleznem a saját hitrendszerem, horribile dictu: akár még változtatnom is kéne rajta.

![/images/kognitivdisszonancia.jpg]({{ site.baseurl }}/images/kognitivdisszonancia.jpg)

Ezért a válasz, ha a könnyebb utat választom az átértékelés helyett:

- hülye, aki ezt felvetette, egy rohadt liberális (azt is utálom, aki miatt gondolkodnom kéne)
- ő is buzi, de ő más (relativizálom)
- én nem is vagyok kirekesztő, csak csinálják otthon a négy fal között (elhitetem magammal, hogy nincs is disszonancia)
- nem is tiltották ki a melegeket Ásotthalomról, csak ne akarjanak egyenlő emberek lenni; ő nem is volt muszlim, hanem párszi, ő stb. (tagadok)
- "mindenki ilyen, ez Magyarország!" ( a világot hibáztatom a saját felelősségem felismerése helyett)

Vagy elgondolkodom, hogy tényleg igazam van-e. Az a nehezebb út, de eredményesebb.


Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art, small volume cone-beam CT (computed tomography) technology that provides highly accurate, 3-D radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning and treatment of disease. This allows three-dimensional visualization of teeth, bone, sinuses and surrounding structures with minimal radiation to the patient, enabling a level of anatomical accuracy and patient care not possible with 2-D technologies (regular dental x-rays). Dr. Blanco uses the CBCT to plan implant cases, in order to place the implant in the most ideal location, prosthetically driven which means with the final restoration in mind and to avoid getting too close to the sinuses, nerves, other teeth, etc. Dr. Blanco fabricates a computer generated surgical guide to place the implants, which makes the surgery very accurate and fast.
With the addition of cone-beam CT technology to our office, our practice is committed to providing innovative, high-quality, patient care.


Accessibility is commonly viewed as a dry formal requirement absent of any real beneficiary. It is all too often tacked on as reluctant "polish".
In this talk we will blur the line between people with disabilities and "able-bodied" people and see how everybody benefits from inclusive design, and how good decisions from the start leave us with a more aesthetic product that is usable in more ways than we could have initially imagined.
We will use user interfaces in GNOME as a case study for good and inclusive design.

Veteran Sports Writer Mike Monroe Flexes Spurs Knowledge
by Manuel Solis
Triumph Books
From Jonathan Abrams' engaging analysis of the prep-to-pro generation in Boys Among Men to Mike Carey's haunting biography of renegade baller Marvin "Bad News" Barnes, 2016 has been a strong year for quality basketball writing. As opening night of the NBA season rapidly approaches, veteran scribe Mike Monroe offers the perfect primer for Spurs faithful, aptly titled 100 Things Spurs Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.
Clocking in at a brisk 278 pages, Monroe's new book features colorful profiles of the most memorable personalities in Spurs history, while chronicling the franchise's unforgettable moments. Admittedly and rightly so, the majority of Monroe's focus is spent on the celebrated exploits of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, David Robinson, and George Gervin, who he recognizes as "the five most important players in franchise history," along with Gregg Popovich who he dubs "the most important head coach."
Monroe excels when exploring the origins of the Spurs in San Anto, which he attributes to "shared plates of enchiladas and bottles of cold beer" with the team's former director of media relations Wayne Witt. For every Red McCombs and Angelo Drossos, there's a Jack Ankerson, whose love for the Oakland Raiders led to the Spurs silver and black color scheme, or Eulalia Ramon, who suggested the team name via a fan contest.
Current Spurs including Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Danny Green are given their due and fan favorites from over the years ranging from Malik Rose, to Stephen Jackson, and yes, Dennis Rodman share a glimpse of the spotlight. Monroe attributes Rodman's departure to a promise made by Popovich to Brigadier General Robert McDermott when Pop was hired to coach the Spurs.
A longtime fixture on press row in San Antonio, Monroe has covered every NBA Finals game that the Spurs have appeared in. He documented Tim Duncan's inaugural campaign in NBA Rookie Experience for NBA Publications, and in 2014, he became just the second recipient of the Professional Basketball Writers Association's Phil Jasner Lifetime Achievement Award.
Regarded by fellow reporters as an authority on Spurs history, Monroe shares his encyclopedic basketball knowledge in straightforward digestible doses, with flashes of over five decades covering pro hoops expertly parsed. Packed with stats, an "Ultimate Spurs Fan Trivia Quiz," and a recurring bucket list of sorts, 100 Things Spurs Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die offers vibrant basketball nostalgia for casual and die-hard Spurs enthusiasts alike.

Blood Pressure Home > Generic Brevibloc
Brevibloc (esmolol) is currently available as a generic. The ready-to-use IV bags and the 20 mg per mL strength are not in generic form at this time, but generic 10 mg per mL in 10 mL vials are available. The FDA has determined that all generic Brevibloc products are equivalent to the brand-name medication, although they may contain different inactive ingredients.
Is a Generic Version of Brevibloc Available?
Brevibloc® (esmolol hydrochloride) is a prescription medication that belongs to a group of medications known as beta blockers. It is a very short-acting medication that is given by IV in emergency situations or during surgery in order to control rapid heart rates, irregular heart rhythms, and high blood pressure.
Brand-name Brevibloc is made by Baxter Healthcare Corporation. The patents for this medication have expired, however, and generic versions of Brevibloc are now available.
Strengths of Generic Brevibloc
Generic Brevibloc is available in one strength -- esmolol hydrochloride 10 mg per mL in 10 mL vials. The other strengths or forms of Brevibloc (20 mg per mL or the ready-to-use IV bags) are not available in generic form at this time.
Who Makes the Generic Versions?
A few different companies make a generic version of Brevibloc, such as:
APP Pharmaceuticals, LLC
Bedford Laboratories
Bioniche Pharma.
Is Generic Esmolol as Good as Brevibloc?
All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications and assigns each generic a rating. An "AP" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic medication is equivalent to a brand-name medication. All of the generic esmolol versions currently available have an "AP" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to Brevibloc.
However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers or dyes or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities.

Led by the Bibliothèque Mazarine in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes, the Department of Manuscripts at the BnF and the Centre Jean Mabillon (ENC), this project aims to virtually reconstruct Cardinal Richelieu's collection (1300 manuscripts, 6150 early printed books), with identifications of the texts and links to any existing digitizations of the books. Digital editions of the early inventories of the collection, which are held at both the Bibliothèque Mazarine and the BnF and have already been digitized, are also planned.
Catalogues and Booklists of Ecclesiastical Libraries under the Ancien Régime (14th-18th Centuries)
Led by the Archives nationales (France) in partnership with the section de Codicologie, histoire des bibliothèques et héraldique at the IRHT (CNRS), this second project will extend the first corpus, through the inclusion of library inventories of religious institutions at the time of the French Revolution in addition to earlier documents of a different nature (wills, bequests, post-mortem inventories) concerning the same type of institutions, the Parisian colleges in particular.
Catalogues of Ecclesiastical Libraries Confiscated During the French Revolution (1770-1797)
Led by the Archives nationales (France) in partnership with the section de Codicologie, histoire des bibliothèques et héraldique at the IRHT (CNRS), this project aims to construct a corpus of the catalogues of the ecclesiastical libraries that were dismantled during the French Revolution. The manuscripts and early printed books were dispersed during this period and are held today in many different cultural heritage institutions. The goal is to be able to virtually reconstruct these collections and to provide researchers with the means to identify not only the previous owners but also the books themselves.
CRIICO (CR2I Centre Ouest: Digitisation of the Catalogues Régionaux des Incunables, for the Centre, Pays de la Loire, Poitou-Charentes et Limousin, Basse Normandie Regions)
Led by the Bibliothèque municipale à vocation régionale d'Orléans in partnership with the Centre d'études supérieures de la Renaissance – Bibliothèques Virtuelles Humanistes, la Bibliothèque Municipale de Blois, la Bibliothèque Municipale d'Angers, the Bibliothèque patrimoniale des Quatre Piliers in Bourges, the Réseau des Médiathèques et des Archives du Mans and the Médiathèque François-Mitterrand in Poitiers, this project will continue the retroconversion of the Catalogues Régionaux des Incunables, undertaken by the CESR (Tours). The choice of catalogues to be digitised (Centre, Pays de la Loire, Poitou-Charentes et Limousin, Basse Normandie) will cover a large part of Northwestern France and will also provide an opportunity to update the oldest catalogues (Centre et Pays de la Loire).
Horae Pictavenses: Study of the Origin and Provenance of Poitevin Manuscripts through Text and Image
Led by the Médiathèque François-Mitterrand du Grand Poitiers in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes, Teklia and the Espace Mendes France, this project proposes to combine automated image analysis with detailed scientific study in order to develop a virtual library for the historical province of Poitou and provide in-depth analysis of the circulation of books through the identification of their origins and provenance.
Humanist Culture in Franche-Comté, 15th to 17th Centuries
Led by the Bibliothèque et les archives municipales de Besançon in partnership with the Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l'Antiquité at the Université de Franche-Comté, this project will study the the very diverse collections held by scholars in Franche-Comté, which are largely unexplored: their texts (manuscripts, incunabula, early printed books), their bookplates and the entirety of their annotations, in addition to their collections of old coins, will be studied.
Humanist Libraries in the Loire Valley (BHLi)
Led by the Bibliothèque municipale d'Angers in partnership with the Médiathèque Louis-Aragon of Le Mans (project lead in 2016), the Bibliothèque du Prytanée militaire La Flèche, the Bibliothèque diocésaine du Mans, the Société d'Agriculture, Sciences et Arts de la Sarthe, the Centre d'études supérieures de la Renaissance – Bibliothèques Virtuelles Humanistes, the École nationale des chartes and the History Department of the Université du Maine, this project aims to make a number of remarkable manuscripts and early printed books available to a wide audience. These works, dating from the late 15th century to the end of the reign of Louis XIII of France, are currently held in various libraries in Le Mans and Angers, as well as the Bibliothèque La Flèche.
La Boétie and Montaigne: Private Libraries in Aquitaine
Led by the Bibliothèque municipale de Bordeaux in partnership with the Bibliothèques Virtuelles Humanistes (CESR), the Médiathèque Condorcet de Libourne, the Bibliothèque municipale de Périgueux and the Bibliothèque universitaire de Lettres (SCD Bordeaux III), this project will contribute to the knowledge and understanding of private libraries during the Renaissance, through the digitisation of La Boétie's library following the discovery of a sub-collection of books which belonged to him, most notably within Montaigne's own library.
Led by the Bibliothèque Mazarine in partnership with the Centre Jean Mabillon (ENC), the Pôle Document numérique at the MRSH de Caen and the Department of Manuscripts at the BnF, this project proposes an online critical edition of the catalogue records for Mazarin's library (1602-1661), which will allow for a virtual reconstruction of the collection, advanced searching of the content and the identification and location of those manuscripts and early printed books which subsist today. The project focusses on the inventory of the library which was drawn up in 1661, in the weeks following Mazarin's death (27,000 printed books and just over 2,000 manuscripts).
Online Benedictine Library of Saint-Amand Abbey (8th-18th Centuries)
Led by the Bibliothèque municipale de Valenciennes in partnership with the Centre Jean Mabillon (ENC), the Institut d'Histoire Moderne et Contemporaine (CNRS), the Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS), the Faculté des arts et des sciences de l'Université de Montréal and the Laboratoire CALHISTE de l'Université de Valenciennes et du Hainaut-Cambrésis, this project will reconstruct and produce a digital online edition of the library catalogue of the former Saint-Amand Benedictine Abbey (also called Elnone Abbey) from its origins through to the end of the Ancien Régime. An estimated total of 350 manuscripts and 3000 early printed books are still in existence today, of perhaps 10,000 books total at the time of confiscation during the French Revolution.
Online Library of the Dominicans of Toulouse
Led by the Bibliothèque municipale de Toulouse in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes, this project aims to study the library of the first major establishment of the Dominican order, which was founded in Toulouse in 1215 and existed until 1789.
Provenance Information on French Library Collections
Led by the Bibliothèque de l'Institut de France in partnership with the bibliothèque de la Cour de cassation, the Bibliothèque Mazarine, the bibliothèque du Ministère des Affaires étrangères, the Bibliothèques municipales de Besançon, de Lyon et de Nancy, the Réserve des livres rares at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, the CESR, the Centre Gabriel Naudé, the Institut d'histoire du livre and the Service commun de documentation du CNAM (Pôle patrimoine), this project will develop a joint online tool that draws together provenance information on the manuscripts and printed books (primarily those printed between 1450 and 1830) held at regional, university and specialised libraries in France.
Saint-Bertin, Cultural Centre from the 7th to 18th Centuries: Constitution, Preservation, Diffusion, Use of Knowledge
Led by the Bibliothèque d'Agglomération de Saint-Omer in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes (CNRS) and the Bibliothèque municipale de Boulogne sur Mer – Bibliothèque des Annonciades, this project will edit, analyse and digitise the abbey's old catalogues as well as 577 medieval and 16th-century manuscripts which were once a part of the Saint-Bertin Abbey library in Saint-Omer.
The Abbey Library of Saint-Martin de Sées (11th-18th C.): Reconstruction and Description
Led by the Médiathèque de la Communauté urbaine d'Alençon in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes, this project aims to digitise and catalogue the manuscripts, incunabula and early printed books that once belonged to the library of the benedictine abbey Saint-Martin de Sées.
The Illustrated Book in Lyon (1480-1600)
Led by the Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon in partnership with the Institut d'Histoire de la Pensée Classique, the Groupe Renaissance et Âge Classique, the Faculty of Mediæval and Modern Languages (Oxford University) and The Warburg Institute, this project aims to study and describe illustrated books published in Lyon during the Renaissance; to index illustrated books printed in Lyon that are now held at the Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon, at other libraries in the Lyon region or in Oxford at the Bodleian and college libraries; and to describe the digital images of these illustrations in an iconographic database using the classification system of the Warburg Institute Photographic Collection.
Virtual Library of Clairvaux — 1472
Led by the Médiathèque du Grand Troyes in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes (CNRS), this project will provide access to the subsisting manuscripts which were once a part of the medieval library of Clairvaux through a high performance virtual library (designed primarily for researchers) and a website for the general public.
Led by the Bibliothèque patrimoniale d'Avranches in partnership with the Centre de recherches archéologiques et historiques anciennes et médiévales — Centre Michel de Boüard, the Pôle Document numérique and the Office Universitaire d'Études Normandes (MRSH de Caen), this project will digitise 88 manuscripts that once belonged to the Mont Saint-Michel Abbey library and are now held at the Bibliothèque municipale d'Avranches. This operation will complete the previous digitisation campaigns and will enrich the Virtual Library of Mont Saint-Michel.
Virtual Reconstruction of the Medieval Libraries of Chartres
Led by the Médiathèque l'Apostrophe de Chartres in partnership with the Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes, the Direction des Affaires Culturelles de la région Centre and the Bibliothèque nationale de France, this porject aims to reconstruct Chartres' medieval library through the digitisation of this exceptional collection, which includes many manuscripts from the schools of Chartres from the 9th through 12th centuries. This collection, which was saved from the wreckage in May 1944, will also be widely accessible: the images and data will be made available through a number of different portals, including Biblissima, the BVMM and Chartres Public Libraries.
Biblissima benefits from State funding managed by the ANR within the "Investissements d'avenir" programme, reference ANR-11-EQPX-0007.
