Trump wins Nevada primary in less than a minute.
Discussion in 'Politics, Religion, Social Issues' started by AdonisSMU, Feb 23, 2016.
wow! What a KING! I still disagree with him on encryption.
He'll win the nomination easily. The other candidates have all wasted their time. This is coming from a Sanders supporter.

Basically! I don't know why the are even bothering. Ted Cruz is a sleaze. Rubio isn't ready for the job.

The thing about politicians is that they are actually representing other people. Those "people" may only be oil tycoons or wall street bankers, but still that representation limits what they can say and do. Trump is NOT a politician. The only person he represents is his own narcissistic self. Do you think he actually cares how this country is run? **** no! The man just wants to raise his social standing. He may be a billionaire, but he's still not even among the top 100 richest people in the world. Being President would make him the single most important man in the world, and ensure his name in the history books. Trump will whore himself for that prize.

To think it is all about prestige is just crazy. You can look up videos from almost 20 years ago where he talks about politics and the good he could do for this country with his ideas. Citing that he is not even in the top 100 explains your point of view and your rating system, not his.
This one went just like SC, quick! Get use to it. Sorry if he does not meet your qualifications, the rest of the country does not agree with you.

And exactly what policy position was Mr Trump laying out when he cited a dubious legend of General Pershing executing 49 men with bullets dipped in pigs blood, misrepresenting it as historical fact?
Whatever policies Trump laid out 20 years ago aren't what are driving voters to the polls. It's his rhetoric. Rhetoric which has some disturbingly fascist and warmongering undertones.
"The rest of the country"? I'm pretty sure we're still going through the primaries.
Did you just get bullet points from a slanted media source that you need this explained to you? Watch the video. If you cannot conclude that his stance is to be tough and vigilant then I can't help you.
Oh give me a break. I know Trump has given some political stances in the distant past. Some of which conservative voters might not agree with if they actually knew. This is NOT what is driving his poll numbers. What is driving people to vote for Trump, at least in the Republican primary, is his rhetoric! Rhetoric which goes far beyond just "tough", straight into the realm of fascism. Trump is appealing to the absolute worst aspects of humanity.
You are entitled to your opinion but I can tell you with certainty that you do not understand the Trump supporter, they are much more aware than you know. Rhetoric, really, come on, that is so last month, that's just personality, personality that people obviously like.
Any person in position of power has a little narcissistic touch in their ego. Trump was ridiculed from the get go even before his announcement for the presidency, and is constantly misquoted by MSM to portray him as an extremist and racist. It is no surprise that the left and the right good old boys club is afraid of him, as their sycophants MSM try in vain to destroy his chances.
He is far from being a racist, I have met him, dealt with him, he is very quick thinking and honest. He definitely knows bull when he hears it though..Genius of Trump - Trumping MSM in their own game, then they give him even more free MSM coverage ! LOL. - never a dull moment.
.He is clearly a leader with fairly good knowledge of politics. While I am sure he has still some things to learn which will come by hiring the best people with the best skills, I am not too worried about his being in the White House, nor am I worried about his motives and his patriotism - which I cannot say for Hillary at all.
Septembersrain, tgara, Dsching and 2 others like this.
Telling a crowd that he's going to make Mexico pay for a wall is not personality. It's pandering. Politicians do this all the time of course, but again Trump has nothing to hold him back.
He's certainly not patriotic enough to keep his money in the US.
Actually his economic plan is to keep money in the USA - not give it away to enemies with apologies..
Well the wall.. thats a little off the top IMO, as patrols in the right amount with no stand down orders would probably do it.
He knows how to rile up the crowd both for and against him on stage.
What I would suggest is to watch one on one interviews with him, even with CNN. His stage persona is different than his off stage persona which is equally different than his work or at home persona.
Funny you should say fascism, when he is the only one talking about having been against the war and is against perpetual war... He is talking about trying to solve the problem quickly and efficiently - terror at home, terrorists on the battlefield, then trade and diplomacy with all including Russia.
see if ANY of the other warmonger candidates ever say the same.
If you understand the psychology of Trump, he knows what he is up against - the industrial military complex, that is why he says *I am the most military minded person* when he is on stage. He is not in anybody's pocket like Clinton, and going against the IMC from the get go could literally mean suicide...as in Kennedy style suicide.
The question is does this really surprise anyone?
Its not being "given away to enemies" and why would companies do this?
Or do you think trump can actually go trough with cutting the US of of world trade and be a protectionists state once more? Yeah thats going to work in the global age.
In all 3 he makes little to no sense. Not anything close enough to actually think "this will be a good president" you simply have no clue what he stands for.
Afte the war started he did have concern on the costs.
As for what he plans to do as president (more important) trump has said he is going to hit ISIS "as hard so they wont know what hit them" he wants to force iraq into paying the US back (how else then by force are you going to do this) force iran and north korea to obey whatever the US wants .
So he has plans for at least 4 armed conflicts, 1 with a nuclear power.
If he was against war, which he cleary is not, on the contrary he states he wants to got to war AND he stated the military should be stronger and the US doesnt spend enough on defense.
So if you actually listen if he does talk about policy he is actually completly for the MIC and they without a doubt would love to see him elected.
What's going to happen next will make a HUUUGE difference. The GOP is scared of Trump and the voters voice is clear. The GOP has picked Rubio and that's why Rubio has come on strong lately. If the GOP swaps Rubio in for Trump with some brokered deal, you'll see an uproar.
Dems. Hillary is having a hard time when she should've an easy pass. Bernie is making Hillary spend her money and she's forced to beg for more in states other than where the contest is. Bernie is forcing the bad of Hillary out early on within her own party. Hillary's most popular Google word is liar. She's not trustworthy or likable.
GOP: Trump has pretty much always been the front runner and the margins are HUUUUGE. He doesn't have a money problem like Hillary. His Google words include honesty as one of the most common.
The key factors at this point are the FBI and that federal judge that just found a NEW reason to go after Hillary.
How many candidates have EVER won the presidency while under FBI investigation?
Thats believeing in the trump BS.
Trump has higher negatives then clinton and no matter what nominee the democrats have they can find lots of support against trump, everywhere.
Trump on the other hand will have a hard time getting conservative voters behind him as he's simply not a conservative. He'll get pumeled from both sides.
Money wise in 2008 the same argument was used that obama had spent a lot against clinton and he crushed the gop in funds gathering in the general election.
As for the FBI investigation: of no importance but that trump will bring it up in every interveiw as he simple has little to no actual platform to run on.
As for honesty: trump lies in just about every speech he gives, take his stance on the war in iraq: total BS . There isnt 1 source that supports his version and actual several that show he was for the war not against.
The stats on voter turnout say that Dems are staying home by a huge percentage and GOP is coming out in HUUUGE numbers.
Hillary is NOT motivating her party in general and Bernie followers in specific.
Trump is motivating his party in general and will pull people from Hillary's party. He'll be the ONLY outsider left, Hillary's argument that her gender automatically makes her an outsider is a joke.
Does Hillary actually think that her gender alone makes her a Washington outsider? Really?
I think you're underestimating the right and their dislike of Clinton. I also think you're not looking the diversity of people Trump is pulling from he beat an Evangelical with Evangelicals. Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich are done there's no niche that they can carve he's pulling them all.
It's going to be Trump v Clinton/Sanders he'll crucify Clinton and it'll be just deserts for her but Sanders can play the victim when the knives come out.
Trump = unstoppable. Much to the dismay of all those (previously) in sufficient power, left or right, to prematurely railroad a candidate by whatever devious means and regardless the money thrown at it.
Say what you want about Trump, but he knows how to appeal to/manage the electorate. Whether he'll be (or be a good) President is a topic for after November. I'm only surprised it took this long for a guy with a life in big business to see the opportunity to game/finesse a political landscape designed towards those qualities. We all reap what we so (even Trump, too). I find the Questions surrounding the future of the GOP and Democratic parties to be a giant issue if Trump wins nomination, or the Presidency. Fascinating times...what he represents is far more radical than anything Sanders' Campaign is proposing. He just doesn't give a s*** about anyone, it's just a question of in what % to whom.
The old playbook that had been used for many years is that you run to the side of your party for the nom, then to the center for the general.
This is what Jeb! did. He started out classic GOP and it failed badly. Trump is running in the GOP and has views from the start that'll carry him in the general.
This is why the GOP is upset, he doesn't seem 'Right enough' from the start and they are concerned. If they dump on Trump, they run the risk of losing the general.
What's going on right now is they are testing Rubio as the one to come from behind. He doesn't have much time left and the core of the party is at odds.
It's really an interesting race because the party would like to see Rubio, but the people inside and outside the party want Trump. When either Rubio or Cruz gets out (assuming they do before Trump) you'll see if the votes go to Trump or not. If they go in fair numbers to Trump, it'll be too late for anything but a dump Trump to stop Trump.
The advantage goes to Trump to keep them both in because of at least 2 things. They (Cruz, Rubio) have limited funds and Trump is pulling down the delegates. Trump needs to be concerned about the GOP trying to dump him which would happen either very soon or at the final moment.
Means little with so many candidates . Again trumps negative numbers are very high meaning a lot of people are not going to vote for him.
If the choice is trump vs clinton they will vote for her. Scaring voters with airhead trump is the perfect pitch.
Trump motivating is his part? What party would that be? Not the GOP who dislike him, you remember he even threaneted when they didnt start to treat him better he would run as a third candidate and give the electiosn to the democrats?
Pull in democrats? what are you smoking?
Donald Trump may be winning in most GOP polls, but according to a Gallup analysis, he also has the most negative image out of any Republican candidates in the eyes of Democrats and independents.
Trump's net favorability is minus 70 points among Democrats and minus 27 among independents."
You do realise that this outsider BS is just for some republicans? Democrats and most independants want someone with a program thats actually knows whats he's doing, thats not trump.
I doubt that, once the actual camapign start TRump will be buried under all the stupid **** he says until everyone realises what a complete and total clown he is.

Yes, I admit I don't understand the Trump supporters in Nevada parading around in their white sheets with Trump signs last night. Are they these aware voters you speak of?
According to Public Policy Polling, for example, 70 percent of Trump voters in South Carolina would prefer the Confederate battle flag to have remained aloft on their statehouse grounds, and 38 percent wish the South had won the Civil War. Meanwhile, a national YouGov poll found that 20 percent of Trump voters disagreed with the executive order which freed slaves in states that were in rebellion against the federal government—that is, the Emancipation Proclamation.


The Month of Celebrating approaches and with it comes a warm (or cold!) atmosphere between fellow Neopians, followed by several activities of merrymaking and gift-giving. This is the time of the year to sit back and enjoy a warm cup of borovan as you listen to different Neopets singing soothing songs, and it is also the time to be going out and chucking snowballs at your friends!
There are just so many things to do all month long, so I've decided to create a list to help you and your friends make the absolute most out of this merry month. You can choose to do one activity per day, do everything in one go, or do everything again and again every day!
It doesn't matter if you're young or old, snowball fights will always, always be fun. Who doesn't love pelting their friends with giant balls of snow? Be careful for the counterattack though!
It's one thing to build a fort out of mattresses and pillows. It's a whole different thing when you build a grand castle made of solid ice that leaves your friends in awe. This will also help you gain a huge advantage is those snowball fights.
The skating rink in Happy Valley is always available to all pets, and if you've never ice skated before, now's the perfect time to learn! Just be careful not to hit the other Neopets... or that tree.
You may be thinking, "Ice Cream? During the winter?", but have you actually tried it yet? There's a reason there's an Ice Cream cart in Happy Valley, and it's not the abundance of snow or ice.
Feeling lucky? If so, why not head on over to the Scratchcard Kiosk and see if you can win anything. Who knows, you just might hit the jackpot?
7) Explore the Ice Caves!
With a friend, of course. Venturing alone can be dangerous, but also more thrilling at the same time! If you are scared or inexperienced, you can always ask Hannah the adventurer to help guide you.
Ask your friends to tag along and go walk the streets of Neopia while singing fun songs! Watch as the different citizens look upon you and smile with glee, and maybe even join you in your singing!
Whether you see them everyday or only have a few chances in a year to be with them, now is as good a time as any to be spending some precious moments with your beloved family.
The weather can get really cold during this month. Keep warm with a nice steaming cup of borovan or coffee, and maybe even have a few marshmallows while you're at it. Yum!
Remember that there are some less fortunate Neopians out there who can't afford their own toys. Help spread the cheer by donating some of the ones that you don't use anymore. They're sure to bring smiles wherever they arrive.
If you haven't had time all year to do some reading, well here's your chance. Grab your favorite novel (or comic) and sit down comfortably by the fireplace. Nothing beats reading something new!
It's tiring and difficult, but it will all be worth it in the end. The view you get when you're at the top is simply breathtaking. Imagine looking at most of Neopia and seeing all the different lands all at once. Hey, you can even see your house from here!
The snowy holidays wouldn't be complete if you didn't ski down a slope at least once! Even if you've never did it before, it's quite simple to learn and you'll be sliding down the mountainside in no time!
He'll be sleeping all month long, so you might think this is your perfect opportunity to try and take some his treasure, right? Well, why not try something different this year? Instead of taking something from him, leave him a gift. When he sees it after his slumber, who knows, he might stop blasting you the next time he sees you.
You might be thinking that it's a drag to do something for someone else, especially when you could be doing something more exciting instead, but where's the harm in doing a little favor for the Snow Faerie? Who knows, she might just give you a really cool present in return!
That Abominable Snowball is just sooooo cute! You know you just have to have one. Or maybe four. Be sure to take care of them afterwards as each petpet is a big responsibility!
With all this playing around outside, it's nice to take a step back and relax within the comforts of your own neohome. Make even more fun memories by calling your friends: it's never dull when you've got friends around.
This is a busy time of the year for the Soup Faerie, and she could use a few extra hands. Help spread the cheer by giving soup to the Neopians who really need it, and see their faces light up as they fill their bellies with some tasty broths prepared by the delightful Soup Faerie.
The Month of Celebrating just isn't complete without giving gifts to all of your friends, neighbors, and even random strangers! From the time you buy something from a shop, all the way until you finish wrapping it and are now ready to give it, gift-giving is a truly magical process that makes both the giver and receiver feel pretty good no matter what items were given out.
Everything you'll need to know about your Neopet!


On occasion I get an equity or a few from the travelers, who are asking me about how far the World Disney is. The answer is relevant. For some people, such as myself, it is very close. Florida is a small state, that I drive across West East and back quite often. For those who love the road trips and adventure, the drive is perfect. It is taking you through the Alligator Alley. The name of the road is there for a reason. Not only you can visit the Everglades on your way, but maybe spot a nice looking alligator, sunbathing in the tropical lush. For those who do not like to drive, adventure and exploration it is highly advisable to get the accommodation in Orlando.
World Disney is number one destination of the entire world. It is every traveler's dream. No matter your age, everyone should experience the magic of Walt Disney World at least once in their lifetime! There are no words to describe the sheer joy on my children's and grandchildren's faces when they actually got to meet their favorite princesses and characters!
Research Disney special offers a few months before you plan to take your vacation. Special Disney deals often have a "book by" date. Do your homework before you go and prepare a basic itinerary. Find out the early/late magic hours and parade and special show times for each park, and investigate dining options in each park including character dining. Make reservations before you go so you aren't disappointed because they have no availability, or you can't be seated until 10pm, which is two hours past your 6 year old's bed time. A little bit of pre-planning on your part, makes your vacation very enjoyable. Use Disney transportation as much as possible.
World Disney always a 'must visit' when in Orlando as I can guarantee there is something new that has been added since my last visit. 'It's a Small World' reminds us of the reality of living; Pirates of the Caribbean and Swiss Family Robinson are historical.
It is a world of fantasy filled with four completely different theme parks namely – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot & Hollywood Studios , which are really full of fun. So, enjoy the exciting rides, attractions & characters and had unbelievable experience of magic & adventure..
Life is full of magic!

Gatwick airport is one of a few major airports in the city of London and is the second busiest airport in the United Kingdom. It has two terminals namely the North and the South with single runway. Each year the airport handles more than 40 million passengers travelling for leisure and business purposes, whether it is international or domestic flights.
During the travel between London Gatwick airport and other parts of UK, travellers should opt for the best, comfortable and reliable taxi service to make their life easy.
There are many Gatwick airport taxi transfer firms available to hire. Most people tend to get confused or rather embark on black taxis without knowing about what additional features minicab service providers have to offer. In general people travelling to and from an airport will always look for an easy mode of transportation, especially, when they have to save time and also consider comfort. Considering the fact that there are a number of airport transfer providers with their own advantages and disadvantages, here are some useful tips that will help you to identify the best airport taxi service in London.
Few of the most important key points to be noted when booking a taxi are reliability, liability, cost factor, service benefits, reviews and customer support.
Whether you are on your vacation or a business trip, anyone who lands at the airport would be willing to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Private hire minicabs are the service which collects the passenger right from the arrivals hall and transfers them to their destination without making them feel exhausted.
Private hire Gatwick airport pickups London is the best option when it comes to travelling as a large group or when accompanied with elders or little children.
The service provider needs to be associated with a registered firm under the governance of The Public Carriage Office.
Most of the minicab transfer service providers have their own websites, apps and much more. Gatwick airport taxi service providers offer transparent pricing with an option to prepay which will take the frustration of searching for cash machines and currency exchange kiosk`s at the last minute.
A Meet and Greet service is one of the best options that many minicab services offer and prior to that they monitor the flight landing time to ensure drivers wait for your collection on time. Infant, child or booster seats are available upon prior request, and with the option to choose the type of vehicle that better suits your needs.
How do reviews help you choose the best minicab service?
As the majority of minicab service providers in London do have their appearance in social blogging sites, giving you an opportunity to understand how good or bad a company treats their customers.
A majority of service providers do not provide 24/7 customer support. This has to be a must when booking due to the nature of business involved. Having 24/7 contact helpline should be essential in order to resolve your doubts and queries at anytime.

Q: Use worksheet name as a variable in a lookup I have 2 workbooks with 60 plus worksheets. I need to copy data from one workbook to the other but would like to capture and use the worksheet name within the cell.
This is because when I create the workbook I make a master worksheet and then copy it 60 plus times. The above would make the cell ref for each worksheet the corresponding worksheet cell in the other file.

A: The Question
I'm guessing that you have two workbooks (i.e., Microsoft Excel .xls spreadsheet files);
let's call them Master.xls and Book2.xls.  And [Master.xls]Sheet1 contains
              A                       B                       C
1   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!A1   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!B1   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!C1   ...
2   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!A2   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!B2   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!C2   ...

and the problem is that,
when you create [Master.xls]Sheet2 as a copy of [Master.xls]Sheet1, it also gets
              A                       B                       C
1   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!A1   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!B1   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!C1   ...
2   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!A2   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!B2   =[Book2.xls]Sheet1!C2   ...

but you want the cells in [Master.xls]Sheet2 to be referencing [Book2.xls]Sheet2 rather than [Book2.xls]Sheet1.
The Answer
Establish a "helper cell"; let's say Z1 – somewhere that's out of the way.
(You don't really need to have this "helper cell",
but things will be much messier if you don't.)
Fill it with a formula that evaluates to the name of the current sheet, as documented in
Is it possible to get the sheetname?, such as
=MID(CELL("filename"), FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1, 256)

Then set the cells in Master.xls to
=INDIRECT("[Book2.xls]" & $Z$1 & "!R" & ROW() & "C" & COLUMN(),  FALSE)

Explanation
[Master.xls]Sheet42!Z1 evaluates to Sheet42, so,
in every cell in [Master.xls]Sheet42,
the first two terms of the first argument to INDIRECT
will evaluate to [Book2.xls]Sheet42.
And, in cell S17 (for example) of any sheet,
ROW() will evaluate to 17 and COLUMN() will evaluate to 19,
and so the last four terms add up to !R17C19.
Put it all together and you've got
=INDIRECT("[Book2.xls]Sheet42!R17C19",  FALSE)

When the second argument to INDIRECT is FALSE,
it interprets strings like R17C19 to mean S17;
so this is equivalent to
=INDIRECT("[Book2.xls]Sheet42!S17")

which is equivalent to
=[Book2.xls]Sheet42!S17

Few people consider before searching for their volunteer experience that they might be needing a work permit or special entry visa and in some cases get deported out of the country not being able to return this country for a very long time (if ever).
It is still widely believed by many that volunteering in most countries can be done without a work permit. This is especially the case for volunteers who are from the United States of America, Canada, the European Union countries, Australia and New Zealand as they are used to be able to enter most countries for travelling without needing a special entry visa.
For example for a person from the United Kingdom it is very easy to enter Canada as a tourist and receive a 6 months visitor stamp in your passport. Some think that after entering Canada they are then allowed to start volunteering as a visitor up to six.
Canadian Immigration is however very clear on this in almost all cases volunteering requires a work permit even if you are unpaid and volunteering at a charity. One of the few exceptions is for example if you volunteer for religious purposes but even then a work permit might be required.
Any volunteer work with wildlife, people, ranches, farms, charities in Canada does require a work permit. As part of our service and program fees we assist our volunteers with the work permit application and we have had a 100% success rate.
Even when volunteering in Guyana a work permit is required. However as Guyana has very few embassies abroad all volunteer work permits are applied for after arrival in Guyana. We make this very simple for our volunteers and they are not involved in the process (most likely the work permit will not be received until the volunteer is already back home).
Of course there are other countries who do not require a work permit to volunteer abroad which in some cases can be purely because there is no alternative for volunteers in place like in Canada. Some other countries will allow volunteering without a work permit only for a few specific countries for a certain maximum duration (the length of your visitor visa in most cases).
It is therefore highly recommend that you do some research before you volunteer abroad as being rejected at the border is not only costly but also a very unpleasant experience.
If you would like to go abroad and join a volunteer opportunity feel free to contact us regarding any visa related questions.


North Shields Crusaders hosted Newcastle Ravens in the league in a match that took place in rain and snow on a bitter winter's day.
The first score came from the visitors as they capitalised on a mistake by Crusaders to score under the posts.
But they hit back with a try from Jack Rendles before taking the lead through Adam Eglin's first try for the club to make it 10-7.
Then Peter Finlay crossed over for a try with Matthew Padden adding the conversion.
The final score of the half was a try for Chris Allott with Padden adding the extras to give a half-time score of 24-7.
In the second half Crusaders scored two further tries from Gavin Duffy and Leon Van-Zandvliet on his debut. Padden successful with one of the conversion attempts to make the final score 36-7.
The man of the match decision was awarded to Eglin on his first start for Criusaders, as he got the nod with Richard Sampson and Tony Jordan the others in contention.
Next week Crusaders are away to Novos Centurions, 2.15pm kick-off.

Break the Divide. Change Your Molecules with Circus: A Conversation with Programmer Monique Martin
Circus News

Circus News Monitor and Blog
Social Circus
Meet the Organization North America Spotlight
April 23, 2019 May 1, 2019 Madeline HoakInterview, Meet the Presenter
In our new series called Meet the Presenter-Tag, we explore the world of circus arts programming with different presenters and programmers from around the world, delving in to the particulars of their region, and learning more about their specialty and the industry standards that they help to develop. At the end of each featured interview with the presenter, we will ask them to recommend the next presenter or programmer to be featured.
It made my day to speak with Monique Martin, Director of Programming, at Harlem Stage. We spoke at length about her role as a contemporary circus advocate, the art form, economics, and audiences. Martin has brought contemporary circus to NYC's Summer Stage program, has created touring connections for international companies with North American programmers and is dedicated to making circus accessible. If there's anything to know about Martin, it is that presenters like her are a vital link in the progress of North American contemporary circus.
Madeline Hoak: Let's start at the beginning. Who are you, how did you get here and what's your relationship to contemporary circus?
Bindlestiff Family Circus at Summer Stage Festival in Marcus Garvey park in Harlem
Monique Martin: I am Monique Martin, and I am the Director of Programing here at Harlem Stage. This is a new position for me. I've been here for almost two years. Prior to my post here, I was with Summer Stage for ten years, and it was during my time at Summer Stage that I was introduced to contemporary circus. Actually,re-introduced to circus because, as I fell in love with one company — which was The 7 fingers, which is one of my favorites — in my research I realized that Gypsy Snider is from the Bay area, where I'm from, and my family went to see her family's Pickle Family Circus. So I actually grew up seeing street performers, public art and circus. So this idea of public performance and accessible performance was something that really resonated with me.
I was introduced to contemporary circus through the Quebec government and traveling to Montreal Complètement Cirque Festival. There was support for North American presenters to help us understand this art form and experience this festival. I went up in 2011, and fell in love with the form. I met exciting programmers from around the world, and the North American cohort [of programmers] was able to network and talk about it. I learned from those who had already done it. I was literally was on fire. So from there, I was on a quest to gobble up everything I could and travel to see work.
Awaln' Art Festival in Marrakech, Morocco
In 2012, I wrote a grant to research circus in London….I traveled to Paris for a circus festival. There I met a producer from Morocco and traveled to his festival. In a very short amount of time I was seeing a lot of circus…In 2013, I introduced circus to Summer Stage. I presented Race Horse Company from Finland at Marcus Garvey park in Harlem, which was fabulous…, [and] North American artists because I always wanted to present artists from here. One, because I was reminded of my own history with the art form with my family and two, I had already presented Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and other artists to do circle shows in Circle Park at the Summer Stage. I never wanted to leave them behind or leave them out of the conversation. So then the word started to get out. There's this woman who's dragging people to the circus!
I was very proud to be able to present circus at Summer Stage for free. The leadership there was not supportive. I had to fight for circus. They didn't see the value in it. Because, I think, it still lacks that understanding.
MH: What are presenters afraid of when they think about booking contemporary circus?
MM: I think a big part of their fear is a lack of understanding of the rigging and of the safety. "What type of insurance do we need to get?" There is a lot of fear around that. It is something that you actually have to just go through. It's very difficult to explain it to a presenter, or to have their production person talk to the artist because many of the artists are not from here. When you're receiving technical plans in centimeters and meters and you have to translate it. A lot of folks don't want to do that heavy lifting.
MH: What smooths the road between presenters, bookers, technicians and artists? What can everybody do to facilitate that conversation?
MM: We still are finding answers to that question. The basic answer is you have to do it. You have to make mistakes and fail and learn from them because that's going to happen. That is my response to, "How do you get past it?" You have to do it. Don't do what I did and start with a big show. Do a small show. You can even do a show in your lobby. Or a show in front of your building as people are coming in. There's so many artists — whether it's a hula hoop artist or a rope artist or juggler — that can do that.
MH: And circus is versatile enough that it can be put into all those places. That's great advice, "Just start small."
MM: And it gives your audience [an introduction to the form], because that's your 3rd big hurdle: who's coming? Why would they come? A lot of our presenters are nervous. How do I communicate to my marketing department what this is so they can sell it? That was something coming from Summer Stage I didn't have to worry about because it's a free festival. For me that's where circus belongs… when you see circus around the world it's for everybody. Economics don't separate who has access to it, and that's something that we should try to maintain in some kind of way.
MH: What other differences do you see between American circus and circus abroad?
MM: I feel like devised work and creating new work in this country is very different than it is in other countries because people have gotten ripped off, and we live in a litigious society in this country. In other places we're all working towards the greater good…that I feel US artists need to figure out a way to contend with. We don't have the acculturation of generosity in the same way. Circus isn't respected in this country in the same way it is in other places. A lot of presenters see it only for families and not something that is sophisticated and beautiful and rigorous.
We've spent so much effort in creating the delineation between artists and audience…there's a divide. Circus breaks that divide.
MH: What does circus do for audiences?
MM: It ignites the imagination in young and old. Because of the risk factor I believe it inspires people to take risks. In whatever way, whether that is a physical risk or that is an emotional risk or an intellectual risk. It sets a framework and an atmosphere of pushing past your limitations, and that vibrates thought the audience…that doesn't mean you're going to go home and try to do that, but it does change something in your molecular system…it's just so joyful. In the times that we're living in this country and around the world of borders and xenophobia and all the -isms, circus is an equalizing art form. It really doesn't have that hierarchy that you find in other kinds of work. And that for me, is what propelled my advocacy–I just want everyone to experience it. I want people to feel like they're part of a community… [In circus] you are collectively cheering for the person, especially when they make a mistake. Like when that juggler adds that 7th pin and they drop one. Everybody wants them to win. In other art forms you enjoy it, but you're not as invested. We've spent so much effort in creating the delineation between artists and audience…there's a divide. Circus breaks that divide.
This is one of the things I love about circus artists. They care so deeply about the audience experience. You leave feeling like it couldn't have happened without you.
And indeed, circus cannot happen without each element: creators, performers, presenters, spaces and audiences. A huge thanks to Monique Martin for her enthusiasm and dedication to contemporary circus programming in the United States!
Keep your eyes and ears perked for news about Martin's next project! She is creating her first circus production which centers on black music as medicine, a healing force. Lake Placid Center for the Arts has granted Monique a residency for the production.
Martin recommends we speak to Kiki Muukkonen to continue our Meet the Presenter series. Kiki is the Artistic Director of Subcase in Sweden.

When doing an exterior paint job it is important to follow these proper steps.
First of all you have to establish the general condition of your exterior and if any materials need to be replaced due to deterioration. If so make the replacements needed be it fascia board ,soffitt or siding whatever the case may be. When replacing fascia board or garage door surround I typically use treated lumber for durability but if you use treated lumber you need to allow it at least a day to dry out before applying a heavy coat of oil base primer . Many primer manufacturers say that they make a Latex primer for bare wood that is just as good but fact of the matter is that only oil base primer can seal out the natural occurring oils in the replacement lumber so do not be deceived. Oil base primer is messy, smelly and expensive but you do not want to have a peeling situation and in fact it will occur in a matter of months without proper priming as I just specified. You do not want to have to re do your work and in my case most of the time I give a seven year warranty against peeling at Nagel Construction Ltd. And have never been called back due to any weathering and these tips are the key to success.
Latex paint cannot and will not ever bond to oils of any kind in the wood so Oil Primer is a must, oil based primer is the only oil base anything that will allow Latex paint to bond to it. For siding I usually use Hardi Plank siding for long lasting beauty and it will not deteriorate with weather or time. It has a factory primer on it Already and is ready to paint as long as you paint it within a satisfactory amount of time.
After all your replacement is done the final prep work which is most important is all penetrations must be sealed with caulk, spackling , putty, etc. No moisture can get behind your painted areas ever because it will release it from the surface that is painted. I usually go with a top quality 50 year warranty Elastomeric caulk on all my outside finishes for elasticity and durability. There is none better in my opinion.
We use nothing but the best coatings and products in every project we do. We do not ever cut corners on materials because it in turn can and will potentially sacrifice your reputation. After 27 years in business, that is Never An Option.
When painting an exterior in any climate I use a sheen or gloss of some kind. Flat paint is the least expensive and that is why it is commonly used by most companies but what most people do not realize is that it is porous so when it is exposed to moisture or precipitation the building materials that it is supposed to be protecting do get wet and stay wet longer as a result of the flat paint. Do not let your contractor use flat paint on your exterior, if you want a flat finish make them use a Matte finish not flat paint. Do not go with the most inexpensive bid because it will 99 percent of the time be the worst quality. If you do not have the money to go with a reputable company then wait till you can afford to hire someone with a proven track record.
We at Nagel also except all major credit cards through PayPal so you are covered with not only a quality job but your security remains safe with them as well. Do your research before hiring your contractor and you will get the end result of a long lasting, expert paint or Remodeling job.

Every concrete job is different. When removing a slab you have to get all of it removed before you truly know your next plan of action. If the ground it is low after excavation it has to be brought up to grade with sand or base to make sure it is a flat plane to pour on. If there are tree roots they have to be extracted before pouring to make sure that they do not grow and destroy or damage the new slab. Finally, they make different what is call PSI levels for concrete . This is the different strengths of concrete according to your application, location and purpose for the concrete. Make sure a proper amount of rebar is used in your pour to give structural strength as well.
I watch remodeling shows on television after having 38 years in construction and it blows my mind to see the number of times that they pour concrete without a single bit of steel in the pour. Tying the steel is an expensive,time consuming,back breaking part of the process that is the most important of all of the job for a long lasting, durable product that you are paying for and deserve as a consumer. A slab or foundation of any kind will not stand the test of time without steel in it. It is guaranteed to crack. That is why it is so crucial to call Nagel Construction Ltd. in Seabrook,Clear Lake,Nassau Bay for the concrete that you desire and deserve.
Do not be caught short and not know it. It is important that your concrete look perfect but in the case of concrete the corners that they cut will be poured over and you will never see that you do not have proper steel in your pour till sometimes years later when you have to pay to do it all over again because it has broken into so many pieces.
We have 27 years of happy satisfied customers that still use no one but us and for that we are grateful. Our customers are everything to us and we show it daily in our performance, reputation and savings to our customers.
God bless this great nation of ours and may we continue to prosper.

From fish to fine ale on Fossgate
Fossgate has many handsome buildings. Here's one of them. Its fancy frontage is lavishly adorned, topped with an eagle, and proudly proclaims that the building dates from 1898. I've taken photos of it several times over the years. But never paid much attention to the ground-floor level. In recent memory it was Fellini's, then Leila's tearooms, and more recently still it's been empty.
Back in May, passing the place while heading for the Army and Navy Stores, I noticed for the first time its interesting interior. (Pictured through the glass of the shop windows, with the door reflected, not the clearest view.)
I would have described these as tiles, but on further thought, they must be glazed bricks. They're in repeating patterns in various colours. This is the lower part.
Along the top of the wall, above an area of plain white, blue bands and green in a repeating pattern.
On a later wander with a friend past this shop we were discussing whether they could be an original feature, dating from 1898. They made me think of the 1930s, rather than the late 19th century. I also wondered if they related to the sale of food, back then, early 20th century/late 19th. Why else would you have such a 'clinical' surface? Clinical in the sense of being easy to clean, but fancy at the same time, with these carefully-planned coloured patterns.
It's nice to find you were right, isn't it. According to old directories and other sources 11-12 Fossgate was a fishmonger's shop.
Even better, our local archives have a photo. From around 1900, according to www.imagineyork.co.uk (Photo: © City of York Council). Possibly celebrating the opening of the premises — it's hard to see why else someone would take a photo of a fish shop, however ornate its frontage.
Note the tiling in the geometric pattern, on the right-hand side of the photo.
And it's still there. The same section of wall, looking rather battered now from a century of weathering and people passing through. But still recognisable. Alterations on the ground floor level in the intervening 100 years or so made a side entrance alongside the 20th century shopfront, with a doorway set back a little from the pavement, which has left this section exposed. Inside the shop it has been better protected.
And will remain so, judging by this photo, taken last month (Photo: Tom Baker, @Tommyhop):
The building is reopening later this month as The Hop, an Ossett Brewery bar.
From fresh fish to the finest ales.
But it's not open yet, so let's have a look at an old directory listing, from 1895, showing that Mr Waudby the fishmonger originally had premises further up Fossgate, at '6½':
Hard to be sure now where this was, as the top part of Fossgate was demolished when Stonebow was created. But there was Mr Waudby in his 'half' premises, and he got rich enough to build the fine place we now know as 11-12 Fossgate.
While we're waiting for the bar to open, let's have a look at that impressive frontage again.
The official record for this Listed Building includes a description of this particularly impressive part of its exterior: 'Scrolled pediment to centre bay has moulded eagle finial, and tympanum incorporating date, monogram of YAC and the York City shield of arms embedded in palm fronds.'
I wondered what 'YAC' could stand for.
I don't think that says YAC. It's a W and an H, isn't it. 'William Henry Waudby'. You can imagine him: 'I want scrolls, palm fronds, big tympanum, the date up there, my initials in the middle, really grand. Oh, and an eagle, I want an eagle, right at the top there.'
So if you're popping in to The Hop on Fossgate, to enjoy its fine ales, raise a glass to William Henry Waudby, won't you. Hop-based beverages aren't my thing, but if the 'finest wines available to humanity' are also available I'll raise a glass in honour of his fish, fine frontage, fancy brick, and that eagle.

Absolutely fascinating stuff, excellent detective work and I think you are right about Mr Wauby's anagrammed tympanum! I look forward to visiting The Hop and seeing how they incorporate the glazed bricks into the bar. Thanks again
Exactly why I LOVE your website.
Excellent work. :-)

Q: How to mapping subdomain to port on Nginx? In our system, each tenant has their own page at specific port:
Tenant 1000 -> https://[ip]:1000
Tenant 1001 -> https://[ip]:1001
Tenant 1xxx -> https://[ip]:1xxx

Now we want access to these instances via subdomain:
https://t1000.mydomain.com
https://t1001.mydomain.com
https://t1xxx.mydomain.com

So my question is: how to config Nginx to map subdomain into port dynamically?
https://t1000.mydomain.com -> https://[ip]:1000
https://t1001.mydomain.com -> https://[ip]:1001
https://t1xxx.mydomain.com -> https://[ip]:1xxx

A: I finally found a way to do this:
server {
    listen 80;

    server_name ~^t(?<port>[^.]+)\.mydomain\.com$;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:$port;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

Gender gap for lung cancer rates narrowing
(NORTHBROOK, IL, March 7, 2005) - Results of the most comprehensive analysis to date of the impact of gender differences in lung cancer incidence in the United States indicate that lung cancer rates among men are on the decline, while the rate in women remains steady. A new study in the March issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest Physicians, shows that, in addition to the unequal incidence of lung cancer in men and women, there are other gender-linked differences, including subtype of lung cancer and survival rate.
"Traditionally, lung cancer has been viewed as a disease of older male smokers, but that is not necessarily the case," said the study's author, Gregory P. Kalemkerian, MD, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, MI. "This data supports the fact that lung cancer is becoming a bigger problem in women every year. If these current trends continue, in 10 to 15 years, the incidence of lung cancer will be identical for women and men."
Researchers from the University of Michigan Medical Center and Wayne State University analyzed data of 228,572 patients (81,843 women and 146,729 men) with lung cancer who were registered in the national, population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 1974 and 1999. Researchers found that the incidence of lung cancer in men reached a peak in 1984, when 72.5 of every 100,000 men had the disease, then declined to 47 per 100,000 men in 1991. In sharp contrast, the incidence of lung cancer in women continued to rise to a peak with 33.1 per 100,000 women in 1991, and then remained relatively stable at 30.2 to 32.3 per 100,000 women from 1992 to 1999. These variations have resulted in a male/female incidence ratio change from 3.56:1 in 1975 to 1.5:1 in 1999. For both men and women, the median age of diagnosis was 66 years. Women made up 40.9% of patients under the age of 50 but only 35.4% of patients over the age of 50.

Recently, OPP laid charges against truckers during 24-hour blitz and on- going blitzes are expected.
Police partnered with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and stopped a total of 1,692 trucks and laid 697 charges. Some of the charges included speeding, defective equipment, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes and carrying insecure loads.
Saskatchewan's Crown insurance company said in an internal memo sent to driving instructors, that a mandatory training plan should be in place by next year.
The memo from Saskatchewan Government Insurance said details are still being worked out, but the curriculum is to include at least 70 hours of training in the classroom, yard and behind the wheel. The SGI has been working with the industry ad training schools and the company has commended Ontario's approach.
In Ontario, drivers must undergo a minimum of 103.5 hours of mandatory training. Drivers must be able to show they can handle a loaded truck on major highways before they can get their licences.
At Canada Heavy Equipment College, we go above and beyond the minimum requirements with 200 hours of classroom, yard and behind the wheel training.


This is a book to be read aloud. Read it the first time for the sounds in the magical text. Go through it the second time and observe the pictures. Then read it again and allow the text and illustrations to become one. There is a wonderful bouncing rhyme and rhythm to the text. The illustrations appear to move in time with the rhymes due to the perfect translation in pictures by Polly Dunbar, who also illustrated the late Margaret Mahy's Down the Back of the Chair and Bubble Trouble.
The man from the land of Fandango has a tricolour jacket and a hat with a tassel, he 'bingles and bangles and bounces' (like the text).The bears and the bison join his dance, and the baboons make music with their bassoons, while 'the kangaroos come with a hop and a bound'.
The book is full of movement and sound, animals, and children. There are drinks and cake, dreams and dancing, and a wonderful play of consonants and vowels. This delightful and entertaining publication has a gorgeous jacket identical to the cover. It shows the man from the land of Fandango, 'who only appears, every five hundred years, so you'd better be home when he calls'. It will be enjoyed by the 5+ age group when read alone, read to, or read together with someone else.


I believe that we don't always appreciate the small things in life.
I have asked some incredibly special people in my life to send me TEN things that make them really ridiculously happy.
I had to start with my soul sister, my best friend and the girl who knows me better than I know myself sometimes, so in other words, my earth Angel: Karolina Sky.

6. Shoes!! Buying shoes, trying on shoes, looking at shoes…I LOVE SHOES!

On a whim I posted something on Instagram the night of the football game, but in hindsight, I wonder if my caption implies something that isn't the whole truth.
My caption implies, or actually states out loud, that I was abandoned by the rest of the family on a night when many families get together with friends to have a party, of sorts.
In fact, this is not the whole truth.
You see, Sunday evenings are busy in this household. The girl child has a 2-hour baseball practice at a local gym (it's off-season training), and my partner has shinny around the same time, a hockey game with a bunch of local dads at an outdoor rink here in the neighbourhood. They both leave around the dinner hour, which coincided with the football game starting.
I dropped off the girl and got back before kickoff, to a teenager plugged into his phone chatting with friends. He asked me about the chicken bites, so I put some in the oven and sat down beside him. I half listened to his chatter with his friends but I kept an eye on my phone, reading random stuff while watching the game in front of me.
After a while, he went downstairs, probably to plug into fortnite or whatever. It sounded like he was on group chat, I'm sure that's what they ended up doing.
That's when I posted the picture. And called it abandonment.
But here I am this morning, thinking about this whole comfort zone business I mentioned the other day. My mind keeps going back to the whole abandonment issue.
Why did I feel abandoned?
Or, if I didn't feel it, why did I say it? Am I trying to evoke a response from the internet?
Alternately, is the feeling of [ implied ] abandonment, which leads to a desired solitude (for me, often), part of the comfort zone I find myself trying to push beyond?
Here's the strange thing: I don't mind being alone. I often choose it, too. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy socializing. I do. I just don't do it very often.
When life is busy and all about obligations and kids and chores, one tends to crave the solitude that comes so rarely, no?
Tell me the truth…are there times when everything is finally done, you find yourself choosing the alone option over the bonding option with someone? Choosing a corner away from them to be alone with your thoughts, as a way of recharging?
I appreciate all the comments that came back on yesterday's post, but if you come here waiting for me to give you answers, I am sorry to disappoint you.
Which shouldn't stop you from contributing. Please do, if you have something to share.
I seem to spend most of my time building escape routes from life, which I suppose is the exact opposite of what you're describing here.
It is a sad affair. We are individuals, not family oriented\pack mammals. Yet, we go against nature and contract bind ourselves to another(s) not just the partner, but our offspring. Being animals, we still relish the hunt. (that explains the worlds fascination with social media and romance apps and just why most relationiships end, not with death, but by deceit) I have always felt alone trough life, since childhood thru adulthood. Only time in life my lonelineless placated, was alas, when I indulged the inner wolf. I dont crave the freedom (too much) but only that feeling of acomplishment, and those initial steps in the foolishness of romance, the only way I found in life to deceive loneliness.
We evolved and settled, but deep inside us the hunt endures.
Interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing it here.
It's the feeling of being alone, nothing to worry about. It's the same feeling you will have when they are grown and moved out of the house.
Okay this is going to be hard to explain … I love having my family around the house active with noises but then I love my own time alone reading writing etc.. then when there is that moment where everyone is out and about and here I sit and I too feel abandoned . I think it's a mom thing .. we want are family around but then want some quiet time then get it and it's an awkward thing … I hope this made sense ?
I like it when they're not here but only for so long…like you said, after a while I want them back. But not too long…lol. Crazy, us moms!
Yes you understood and you explained it perfect . Exactly it lol Crazy hmm nahh lol let me just say as they become adults it's the same feeling always a mom . Don't be too hard on yourself I think your a great mom.
I totally get the "alone" thing. I feel it even without having kids' demands on my time. At other times, I need to be with my friends and family. I think that's normal.
I'm a tad bit confused as to what the actual question or questions are. Earlier in the post you said you wanted to talk about comfort zones. I'm not sure how comfort zones ties in with getting stuck in a rut and how they both tie in with choosing alone time vs bonding.
Alone time vs bonding – I live for alone time! Sometimes I feel guilty leaving my Mom in the living room alone to read her book or watch TV, but I don't get a lot of alone time so I force myself to indulge now and then. I think it's very important to have it.
I enjoy my alone time and find it productive. You are not alone. Sometimes I crave a secret room where I can rent for the month and hide away and write.
I think it may be a parent thing. Much as I enjoy spending time with the kids, I do look forward to that moment when they are all in bed and I can sit back without anyone wanting my attention.
I have probably always been a bit like this — needing time to myself — but it has become more noticeable with children because their activities tend to set the rhythm of the day/evening.
I think the parent thing is a huge component.
I'm not certain about whether it's a female thing, but I told my husband two nights ago that I wanted a week off from everyone …and hurt his feelings.
He thought I ought to want to spend a week off with him at least.
Perhaps it's an introvert thing? I feel overstimulated from everyone NEEDING me.
I am not all up on the current "self-care" thing, but I think what you are describing is that. As a mom (you, not me) it is important to find time for yourself and recharge. Lots is asked of mothers and you can't complete your "job" if you aren't fully rested, recharged, etc. There should be no guilt, no shame, for taking care of you. Enjoy it!
Self care is a whole thing these days, isn't it…I think I do a decent enough job of it. Some days/weeks are worse, or better, than others. Thank you for your contribution.
