James Nunnally signed a two-year contract with the Wolves on Tuesday.
Nunnally spent four years playing in college at UC Santa Barbara before bouncing around multiple summer league teams and 10-day contracts. The 28-year-old spent the last two seasons playing in the EuroLeague and will finally get a true shot to make an NBA impact with 30-40 games potentially. Plus we all know coach Tom Thibodeau loves vets. However, he can be safely ignored in fantasy for now in most leagues.


What Can't go in a Skip?
You must not fill the skip above the height of the sides of the skip. You want to keep the contents level, not a mound.

Make whatever it is that you are being accused of seem to be small and insignificant.
Talk about all the other more critical things. Emphasize what is really important. Spend little time talking about the matter being questioned, as if it is not worth it.
Make the other person seem fussy and picky. Say they are making a fuss over a mere trifle. Toss your head. Maybe patronize them a little.
Oh, for goodness sake! What's the fuss about? That's hardly worth bothering about, is it?
Hah! Is that all it is. I thought there was something really wrong, like when we forgot the luggage. Remember that?
Are you ok? You tend to get picky when something else is bothering you. Come on, what's up?
Minimization is the reverse of amplification, which makes things larger than they are. A further principle is one of contrast, where the thing made small seems smaller in comparison with other things. Amplifying those other things further only serves to make the criticism seem even smaller.
As a species, we seem prone to exaggeration, for example in the way we polarize issues and arguments, and stereotype of one another. This separation is a part of the process of recognition, classification and naming.
Minimizing the issue and making the other person seem fussy is effectively a counterattack, deflecting the real issue by provoking them into defending themselves and so moving away from the original accusation.


keep your deeds finer than barley flour.
Nonviolence shows up as not pushing your agendas, leaving silences when the client needs silences, and by changing what you're doing to accommodate what's happening for the client, what "wants to happen". It also shows by not pushing yourself, not trying too hard. Your nonviolence makes mindfulness easier for the client and encourages trust.
Being present could be a principle. It shows up as focusing on present experience and not reacting to stories the client may be telling, and by not entering into speculation, interpretation and explanation. It shows up in tracking and noticing indicators, all the nonverbal aspects of the client's expression that indicate attitudes and beliefs. It is also knowing what you are experiencing in the moment. It is being aware of and able to respond to subtle changes that the client may not even be aware of.
Organicity is about the essential qualities of living beings: complexity, organization, adaptive capacity, sensitivity, movement, internality, consciousness and having a self of a particular nature. It's about being alive. (We deal with the products of the world's tendency to generate parts out of wholes made up of units connected together by communication. It is this that makes the body a living thing, which acts as if it had a mind —which indeed it does. — Gregory Bateson) It is the attempt to understand the essential differences between living beings and mechanical devices. (2) It shows up in therapy as respect for the other as a whole, complex, sensitive being, with a true interior: feelings, needs, preferences and ideas. It shows itself in not molding the client to the process, but just the opposite. (3) We are part of the unfolding processes, but we are not the sole makers of it. It is an interaction where the client's needs and experiences as primary. As Lao Tzu has it, the best leader follows. Organicity shows up as a deep awareness of the other's freedom to be and to chose. Without a sense of the client's organicity, we wouldn't know that we are only a small part of the change process and that much of what happens is what the client is making happen out of his or her own courage, will and sensitivity. Honoring that is organicity.
It is a sense of connection that derives from such things as limbic resonance, mirror neurons, oxytocin and the social engagement system. It shows up in therapy through the therapists wordless understanding of the client's experience and the powerful influence of the therapist's state of mind on the client's process. It shows up when the therapist feels what the client is feeling. It is shared pain and sympathetic joy. It shows up as the ability to create cooperation and intimacy.
Mind-body wholeness is the principle that asserts the unity of mind and body.
It shows up in therapy through the extensive interrelating of bodily sensations, gestures, etc., and their connection to beliefs, memories and emotions. It shows up as the therapist's constant tracking of nonverbal expressions and his or her understanding these as expressions of the mind.
Mindfulness is self-observing without interference. It shows up in all those little experiments that help make the unconscious conscious. It shows as a preference for quiet and acceptance, for understanding and consciousness rather than power and force, and as a deep desire for freedom.
Being loving is another principle. Loving kindness, generosity, ease, acceptance, understanding, lightness, playfulness, sympathy, humor—all are parts of being loving and all show up in therapy.
Consciousness is limited. The habits that support ordinary conversation are very old and stable. New habits, which take the focus away from thinking about and responding to what is being said to noticing all kinds of nonverbal expressions, should be practiced.
Creating a sense of spaciousness as the context for the relationship.
Patience and acceptance of the client's way of being allow the necessary time and freedom for the client to begin to express deeper and deeper aspects of himself or herself. Noticing what wants to happen and having the ability to easily change direction within the process, based on what the client needs at any given moment, should be practiced. Cultivating comfort with long silences is also good.
Support for mindfulness through recognizing the different states of mind of the client.
Interactions with a client in mindfulness requires a quieter, more delicate manner of speaking and timing. The emotional connection with the client is at once more intimate and somehow less personal. It is a matter of speaking to someone who is not primarily focused on you, but on himself or herself. So, we must speak without interrupting that internal, passive focus of attention which is mindfulness.
Cultivating your own loving state of mind that can be felt by the client at the deeper levels of his or her mind.
Practice finding things about the client that inspire your caring or just make you feel good, the less abstract the better. Clients were all once innocent children, in need of love and protection. The signs of those needs can still be seen in almost everyone. Respond to those.
Seeing meaning in nonverbal expressions and the nonverbal confirmations of verbal expressions.
We are searching for the beliefs that inform the client's reality in order to help bring the nonconscious ones into consciousness, not by interpretation, but by experiments in mindfulness. For that, we have to create hypotheses about what those beliefs are and for that, we must be able to read meaning into nonverbal behaviors and to create nonverbal experiments out of verbal ideas. ("…. only a radical change in what the world means to us would constitute a change in what the world is." —David Bohm) We are helping clients to change their realities and for that we need to change what their world means. So, we have to practice getting meanings from the ordinary flow of human exchange.
Your own growth into full personhood is the main practice. Nietzsche said, "become who you are!" Similarly, Dolly Parton said, "Know who you are and do it on purpose!" These are wise injunctions. Learn about yourself as you practice. Gather the deep experiences that therapy promotes. Treasure the understanding of yourself and others that emerge. Take chances! Be an active, intimate part of every session. For all of this that you do, you will receive… a life of warmth and wakefulness.
"Understand the expression' finer than barley flour' to mean to adopt what is virtuous and avoid what is evil, with respect for the law of cause and effect, with attention to the smallest detail." This, and the quote above, are from Integrating View and Conduct by Tulku Urgyen Rimpoche, found in The Dzogchen Primer edited by Marcia Binder Schmidt.
Somehow, out of the deterministic levels of chemistry and physics, a property called "being alive" emerges and another called "being conscious and having a self" emerges in some organisms, including humans. These ideas are not so simple: self, consciousness. They are debated as vigorously now as they have ever been. The greatest gains in understanding them is coming from neurology. I would recommend two books: Phantoms in the Brain by V.S. Ramachandran and i of the vortex by Rudolpho Llinás.
This is showing up in physics as an essential characteristic of reality.

One study reiterates that there is no association between violent gaming in adolescence and violent behavior in adulthood. When the latter is baptized Growing Up With Grand Theft Auto: A 10-Year Study of the Longitudinal Growth of Violent Video Game Among AdolescentsNotably, it started 10 years ago with a large focus group of 500 participants, whose average age at that point was 14 years.

Those who played violent games for a long time in their youth could not see any noticeable increase in their aggressiveness, nor did those who played them in very small quantities. Conversely, researchers believe that some children may have used these titles as a means of managing anxiety. According to the responses obtained through questionnaires, three main groups appear: the first played a lot of violent games when he was young, before decreasing the practice with age (4%); The second played these games moderately before starting more sustained training (23%). After all, the last group played very little there, before that too, to improve practice through aging (73%). As a result, Group 2 seems to show the highest levels of aggression while the other two show no noticeable difference.

This Model Defied Medical Odds, Now She's Defying Beauty Standards

Naomi Watts Launches Menopause Brand Stripes Because Menopause Isn't A Dirty Word
There's no doubt that the modeling industry follows a strict beauty standard. From skin tone to body type, we've been used to seeing the same kinds of people over and over again in the media.
However, most of us know that models aren't usually a faithful representation of the diverse group of people we see in our day-to-day lives. Thankfully, people like Lucy Beall are breaking down barriers so that people from all walks of life are represented in the media.
Lucy Beall Was Born With Epidermolysis Bullosa
At just 24 years old, Lucy Beall is an established academic, advocate, and professional model. She's built a resume worthy of someone far beyond her years. Yet, when she was born, her family wasn't certain that she would make it to adulthood.
Beall was born with a rare genetic condition called epidermolysis bullosa, often referred to as EB. The condition causes painful blisters to form at just the slightest touch. The condition only affects about 200 people in the United States every year, and many babies born with EB die in infancy. However, despite her prognosis, Beall survived.
"I grew up knowing that my condition didn't just mean a more difficult life, but possibly a shorter one, and it was a very heavy burden," Beall told People. "I want people to see that I'm so much more than just my scars."

Beall spent a large portion of her childhood in and out of hospital rooms, wrapped in bandages, and undergoing surgeries. Today, the Texas native lives in London and is pursuing her second master's degree. She's posed for Vogue Italia and has walked the runways of London Fashion Week.
Lucy Beall Works To Raise EB Awareness
It's clear that Beall has turned her tough hand into something extraordinary. However, she's never stopped advocating for those affected by EB. In 2019, Beall began posing on Instagram, showing the world the beauty of her scars.
"I decided to confront the negative feelings I had about my body and turn them into something positive," Beall explained to People. "I wish I could go back and tell my teenage self that in a few years, the legs I hated so much would get me into Vogue."
Through her Instagram account—which has amassed over 20,000 followers—Beall has taught many people about her condition. She often uses the platform to promote and raise money for EB charities like DEBRA UK and the EB Research Partnership. "I hope my efforts can improve the daily lives of people with EB and raise funds for the medical necessities," Beall insisted.
Beall and her family even created their own foundation, the Beall Family Endowed Fund for EB. According to the foundation's website, their goal is to ease the massive financial burden for families of children who live with EB.
Beall is a shining example that people with EB are so much more than their disease. Through her work, Beall proves that true beauty extends far beyond the cookie-cutter model we're used to.

With this article we wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The works of art on this web page are exhibited in Ethnographic Museum of Croatia's capital Zagreb until January 20th 2015.
Straw work is a unique naive art form which originates from the rich folk art of the Bunjevci-Croats settled in the north of Bačka.
Its origins can be traced to the female shepherds who guarded cattle on stubble after harvest more than 100 years ago. To make time shorter, they made rings and different ornaments (beads) by entwining the golden wheat fibres.
During Dužijanca, a working family celebrating the end of wheat harvest, beads were used to decorate the attires of the young and during the church ceremony of experssing gratitude to God, golden tiaras of crowns were brought to the altar in token of gratitude.
In Tavankut, a village near the town Subotica, the self-taught women nourish and preserve this naive art skill by entwining beads and making paintings out of straw which portray specific motifs and themes from the life of the Bunjevci-Croats.
A special incentive to this art form is given by the First naive straw work colony founded in 1986 which continues to gather new generations of naive straw artists every year. The fact which makes this art form unique in the world is its three-dimensional effect and the specific way of entwining preserved in its original form.
The authentic naive art form of straw artists from Tavankut is filled with specific poetics induced by the material itself. The paintings made by entwining and creating reliefs, linear sequencing of the straw and pasting it on the surface, portray the sights of the plain, salaši (roughly - farms) or homes and customs of the Bunjevci-Croats in a miraculous combinations of reality and imagination.
The works of these artists have been exhibited around the world and have attracted significant interest of experts and naive art lovers. The most valuable works are preserved in Tavankut while many others have found their place in the collections of the archdiocese of Subotica, Subotica Municipal Museum, church and private collections in Croatia and many other parts of the world, even in the Vatican.
Many thanks to Mr. Ladislav Suknović, Tavankut, for kindly providing us with this text.
The main settling of Bunjevci into western Backa began in 1686 under the leadership of the Franciscans. So that the Vienna Royal house could have an army against the Turks, they gave the Bunjevci land, under the condition that they fight for the Emperor's army. Accepting that agreement, the Bunjevci began to settle in two main groups. The first settlers in 1686 were guided by the Franciscans, while the other group in 1687 were lead by the Bunjevac leaders Dujam Markovic and Juraj Vidakovic. They in the most part moved into northern and central Backa, while some moved into the Baranja, Pecs, and the Csongarad zupanijas. Their fighters were under the command of their captains, Luka Sucic, Dujam Markovic, and Juraj Vidakovic immediately passed into the emperor's army which were a big factor in pressing the Turks out of Backa.
After the Peace of Karlovci in 1699, the Turks abandoned Backa, when the refugee police was organized, the Bunjevci costituted a considerable part of it. Faced with the frequent attacks by the Turks, they almost had to face another more greater peril. They were on the side of the emperor during the rebellion of Ferenc Rakoczyi in 1703, and they fought the more powerful Hungarian Kurucs, and suffered heavy losses so that a substantial part of the population had to move almost all the way to Srijem, while the Kurucs overran and horribly depopulated Backa.
After the liberation of Buda (1686) the Bunjevci had repaired what the Turks had damaged. No the added speed of Rakoczyi's bandits, the so called Kukucs who expelled the Catholics. Fr. Jerko Guganovic had, in 1702 taken his faithful to Petrovaradin, where in that strong fortress they had lived for seven years. Afterwards the people had returned to rebuild their destroyed homes.
It is a false assumption to say that the Bunjevci and Sokci Croatians were never Orthodox Christians. On the contrary, it is true that in 1899 that 1,200 Roman Catholic Sokci converted to Orthodoxy in Santovo.
With the organization of a regular church administration, a new era had begin for the Bunjevci Croats.
After the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the Bunjevci took their schools under control. In the meanwhile, the Bunjevci's professors and teachers were dispersed, and in their places came mostly Serbs. The Bunjevacki and Sokacki Croats had to wage a tough battle for their rights, with the collapse of "Yugoslavia" in 1941 entered a new phase. In Communist "Yugoslavia" Serbianism came in many waves, when in all the schools of Vojvodina Serbian and th cyrillic script were introduced.
The first educational and societal organizations were formed in the latter half of the 19th century. "Pucka kasina" existed in Subotica from 1878. The orgnaizers wanted to call it "Bunjevacka Pucka kasina", but the Hungarian government would not allow it. The organization carried out work in the national and educational fields, and with it, gave material help to students. They publishen an almanac entitled "Klasje nasih ravni". Bishop Budanovic founded in 1934, "Subotica Matica", for whom a building was bought by the "Bunjevacke prosvjetne Matice". This instituation worked with the Zagreb organization "The St. Jerome Society", to distribute their books among the people, and had its own publications, among whom Subotica Newspaper, and the Subotica Morningstar calender.
Societal life began to flourish in many organizations, which the more prominent ones were: Subotica Circle (founded 1895), The Catholic Reading Room of St. Vitus (founded 1905), The Catholic Reading Room of St. (founded 1910), The Bunjevac Humanitarian Organization (Subotica, 1919), The Catholic Reading Room of St. Roko, The Croatian Educational Society "Neven" (1920), The Croatian Choir Society "Neven" (founded 1920), The Bunjevacko momacko Kolo (founded 1920) and others. In Sombor the prominent ones were: The Croatian Cultural Society "Miroljub", and the Croatian Choir Society "Miroljub". In all Bunjevac parishes there were societies of Catholic action, importantly Krizari and Krizarice. Subotica, Durdin, Zednik, Tavankut, Sombor and Bajmok had Croatian halls. Among the athletic clubs, the most respected was Backa, which was formed in 1901.
The Bunjevac's folklore traits has many characteristics, which are found in other Croatian regions.
The Costume is more or less taken from others during the time of Maria Theresa, however there were so many peoples, that the Bunjevci gave it their own characteristics which distingushed them from their Hungarian, German and Serbian neighbors. The men wear a hat, vest short coat, pants and boots. In winter they wear a fur cap, sheepskin coat, and sometimes they wore, during the year, a cloak with the national colors. Today only the shepards wear it. Before they wore very wide underpants under their boots.
The woman's costume consists of a shawl on the head, many times with gold interweaving. Married women wear under their shawls a small hat. With that they wear a blouse (leves), long and wide dresses, so that they can look carry them easily and look better, around their waists they wore belts. Slippers were worn at home, the men's out of leather, and the woman's out of silk or velvet, commonly interwoven with gold or silk. A large scarf around the neck, made out of silk, wool or velvet, commonly with a decorative weave. At the dance, a woman would wear a long wide silk ribbon, which the men would hold onto. The material for the costume was factory produced.
The women once wore shirts with puffed sleeves, which were embroidered with a certain type of weave from the domestic linen called "thin", the women's vest was silk, with gold hemming, and silver buttons. Their overcoats were mostly out of fur. The so-called "white costume" was worn on saturday nights when the girls went out, handmade white dresses, and the girl was bare headed. Sunday until noon, the girls were in overcoats, and afterwards they went to dances in their vests.
Of the handicrafts today, only the weaving aprons and bedsheets which cover only small beds, was preserved. In the second half of the last century, bags with the national colors were woven, as well as napkins, and linen for shirts, etc.
Fortunetelling is fairly widespread, particularly among the women. Most of the time it is harming someone with a curse or if they cast a spell. They will predict which will come first, a girl or boy, children, aven livestock, particularly at the younger ages. Men have to be particularly cautious, particularly those who have thick, connected eyebrows, because they may predict as well.
Spells are cast through some bewitched object, which is usually placed at a crossroads, and will harm a particular individual, or whomever who crosses it. For example, money is rubbed in a wound, and the money is thrown over the head on the crossroads. Whoever takes it or walks on it, will be full of wounds, etc. With a corpse it is tradition that someone mourns. Only a cousin or one of the people present are allowed to mourn.
The oldest writers who worked among the Bunjevci called their language the same name as other writes in other Croatian regions. Fr. Mihajlo Radnic said that he wrote in a Slavic-Bosnian language or an Illyrian idiom; Antun Jospi Knezovic calls his language Illyrian-Slavic; Fr. Emerick Pavic, Illyrian or dalmatian; Fr. Grgur Pestalic, Slavic; Ivan Ambrozovic, Dalmatian, etc. Meanwhile like other Croats, the Bunjevci called their language Croatian long before the First World War. The Bunjevci speak a Stokavian Ikavian dialect like the other Croats who speak Ikavian.
The early Bunjevac writers from the very beginning used the Latin script. In the writing of letters they were under the influence of the Italians, Germans, and Hungarians. The diacritic marks were used when they were introduced into Croatian literature. A phonetic grammar was introduced in the Bunjevac literature by Fr. Lovro Braculjevic in 1730. In the preface of his book Uzao Serafinske goruce ljubavi (Budapest 1730), he corrects the way of writing: "Alie lipse, i pofahljiene pisati onako, kakose govori; jer stogodje od vise, nie fahljeno, vec kudjeno" this was written one hundred years before Vuk Karadzic.
The national songs of the Bunjevci had the same origins as the other Croatian groups. The inspiration of the songs mostly originated in the bloody battles with the Ottomans. The gifted national singers sang about the important events in the lives of their people and were sung at all parties and gatherings. The songs were passed on orally among the people. That's how they maintained their ownership.
Judging by thier contents, some songs had origins from their earlier homes. When the Bunjevci came into the northern areas, they brought with them thraditional weath and thier songs. Most songs originated from their new homes. The main heroes of these songs were the celebrated Captains from the Sucic and the Vidakovic houses. They also preserve some important events from our recent past. Even though there are many beautiful songs among them, nevertheless many of them are not as nice as the ones from their old homes.
After the defeat of Rakoczyi's rebellion (1711), the Bunjevci began to return to their abandoned homes. However, many wars and later contagious diseases decreased their numbers. During the time Maria Theresa, came better times, and the blossoming of materal weath from all sides.
Many Bunjevci for their war service became enobled and became political and communal heads of Backa. Here was the beginning of political municipalities in northen and central Backa with exclusive Bunjevac characteristics. Subotica as the main Bunjevac settlement was proclaimed priveledge in 1743 a cameral city and received posession of 12 wild lands, which are today a source of weath, and Sombor which in 1749 was awarded the priviledge of a free royal town.
However Subotica was not satisfied with these arrangements, and worked for complete freedom from municipal rule. That battle lasted for thirty years, and ended in 1779, when Subotica became a free royal city, and in honor of the Queen, received the name of Maria Theresopolis. From then on, Subotica began to develop quickly. Likewise, other important Bunjevac settlements began to bloom; Backi Aljmas, Baja, Bajmok, Bikic (Bacs-Bokod), Gara, Kacmar, Cantavir, St. Moravica, Lemesi (Nemes Militics), etc.
In that time, central and northen Backa were populated exclusively by Bunjevci, who governed in the whole of the Zupanija. Their position was secured even the, when at the end of the 18th century the Germans, and later the Hungarians began to settle.
Other events happened in the 19th century, with the Hungarian national revival. The Hungarians began to sucessfully endeavor to assimilate other peoples, so that Hungary would have a Hungarian majority. For even greater sucess of this plan, they began to systematically colonize Potis and central Backa with Hungarians. This mixing of Hungarians and Bunjevci meant the first step in denationalizing the Bunjevci. In particular, many Bunjevci in central Backa were denationalized, among them a portion of the nobility and the majority of the intellectuals.
It was against this situation that the Bunjevci met the Hungarian revolution of 1848. Under the circumstances, the Bunjevci in most part sided with the Hungarians. During the riegn of absolutism, when the Hungarians did not have any influence in public life in Vojvodina, the Bunjevci did not feel any threat of denationalization. However, after the agreement between Vienna and Budapest (1867) the Hungarians, through education attempted to assimilate the Bunjevci, which had a fierce reaction by Ivan Antunovic and others.
The First World War only strengthened the national conciousness of the Bunjevci. At the end of the war, they held a national convention in Subotica Oct 10, 1918, on the foundation of self determination, arrived at a decision to become a constituent part of the state of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, while Oct 25, 1918 in Novi Sad, together with Serbs, Slovaks and Ruthenians announced the formal secession of Vojvodina from Hungary.
In the new state the Bunjevci were well aware of their Croatian origins and fought against the asprirations of the "Greater Serabians" who negated the Croatian heritage of the Bunjevci. That battle continued until the collapse of the first "Yugoslavia" in 1941, and resumed in the new Communist "Yugoslavia".
Bunjevci and Sokci, who in 1241 arrived in their present day regions, found there an older Slavic element. The new settlers and the old inhabitants were from the beginning members of the Catholic church.
The Franciscans of the Bosnia Vicariat are mentioned as the first spiritual caretakers of the Bunjevci and Sokci. In 1260 Fransican monastaries are mentioned in: Bac, Darda, Monostor, and Buda, and in 1400 the monastery in Baja. Fr. Ivan from Baja was a Bosnian Vicar from 1438-1444. Fr. Fabian from Bac, received from Pope Eugene IV the authority of the Inquisition, and was a Bosnian Vicar from 1445-1447. After the Battle of Mohacs the Fransicans with their believers bear great expulsions. In Budim, Fr. Andrija Ilocanin falls into Turkish hands. Fr. Djuro Milovan continues in 1535 as a confessor to the Bunjevci in Szeged.
In 1643 in Karasevo the Guardian is Fr. Ivan Dezmanic, and Fr. Stipancic in Lipa. In 1647, Fr. Solo Barilovic is the Guardian in Secen, where the "Dalmatian" clerics ended Bogumil studies. Fr. Martin Ibrisimovic, the Bishop of Belgrade handed out the sacred affirmation in 1647 in Martonos, Bajmok, Jankovac, Santovo, Backi Breg, Koluta, Sombor, Bac, and Bukin, as did in 1656, Fr. Rafo Jambrehovic in Pecs, and Fr. Stjepan Milic in Tukulija.
However the religious situation was in those times, the letter of Fr. Mihajlo Radinic, which he as the provincial sent to Rome the is the best example of the situation in Backa. He states "For 4 years our province is dying. Many of our brothers have been killed. Many have been imprisioned in prisons and have died. Our monasteries and churches are in ruins, religious objects have perished. We will maybe move any day now. We have been hiding for many days and nights in the thic forests, and there is no one in these surroundings who will comfort and fill our spirits."
The same Fr. Mihajlo Radinic was in 1686 the main organizer of the last movement of the Bunjevci in their territories. Fr. Andrija from Dubocac, was distingushed for his spiritual work, took over the move in 1693 and became the Guardian in Buda.
After the liberation of Buda (1686), the Bunjevci repaired what the Turks had destroyed. On the fast onslaught by Rakoczyi's bandits the so-called Kuruci expelled the Catholics. Fr, Jerko Guganovic took his believers to Petrovaradin in 1702, where they lived in that strong fortress for seven years. Afterwards the people had returned home, where they rebuilt their destroyed homes.
It is a false assumption to state that the Bunjevci were ever Orthodox Christians. It is true, however that in 1899 in Santovo, 1200 Catholic Sokci converted to Orthodoxy.
The organization of the a regular church administration began a new era for the Croatian Bunjevci.
Until the so-called peace at Karlovac(Karlowitz), the Bunjevci were in their composition, narrowly tied to the remaining Croatian regions which were under the Ottoman Empire, but in particular with Slavonia and Bosnia. The same dialect and the same books were used by the Bunjevci as well as the Slavonci and Bosanci. The old ties among them were not severed, even when the Bunjevac regions were incorporated into the Hungarian state. Kacic's "Pleasant Conversation" and Reljkovic's "Satire" were favorite reading among the Bunjevci. During the Croatian national revival, Bunjevci were followers of (Ljudevit) Gaj, and some of (Ban Josip) Jelacic. Afterwards, Bishop Antunovic supported active ties with Bishop Storssmayer, Ban Mazuranic, Franjo Racki, and other Croatian patriots. He enticed Captain Murgic to write about the Bunjevci in Lika.
Despite great persecution, the Bunjevci supported their books and newspapers, and also accepted books from Zagreb, books from Matica Hrvatska, the St. Jerome's Society, and the Young Spititual Choir. In return, they ordered an edition of Bunjevacka Vila, and later Neven to the Banovina. Some Zagreb writers were frequent contributors to the Bunjevci's newspapers. In 1904, Ban Mazuranic, Dr. Alaupovic, and other Croatian notables, visited the Bunjevci in Subotica.
In 1913, an association for Bunjevci and other Croatian university students called "Antunovic" was founded in Budapest. The Pest Acedemic Society "Perun", had Bunjevci among its members. Ante Evetovic (Miroljub), the poet, praised the Croatian name, and was well known throughout the Croatian regions.
From November 10, 1918, when the Croatian Bunjevci carried the Croatian flag through Subotica, the mutual ties between the Bunjevci and other Croats have grown stronger. The biggest manefestation of the unity between the Bunjevci and their Croat brothers was the majestic celebration in Subotica on August 14-16, 1936, as a rememberance of the 250 anniversary of the settling of one group of Bunjevci.

Monday, In line with an ongoing civil investigation of the Trump family's business practices, New York Attorney General Letitia James has subpoenaed for Fraud Inquiry, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump. The two children of former President Trump.
Monday, As part of a civil inquiry, the New York Attorney General Letitia James has subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump
The Trump's Issue
The New York State attorney general's office, which subpoenaed Donald J. Trump last month as part of a civil probe into his business activities, is now seeking to question two of his adult children, the court issued a document on Monday.
The lawsuit stemmed from a disagreement between members of the Trump family and investigators over their testimony in the case. Furthermore, the participation of Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, the former president's children, was exposed in court records filed on Monday as the Trump Organization sought to block Letitia James' lawyers from questioning the former president and his children.
In early January, the attorney general's office sought to interrogate Donald Trump under oath, despite the former president's counsel filing a federal lawsuit in December to stop the investigation and protect him from having to testify.
The former President Trump has slammed Attorney General Letitia James' integrity and the inquiry she is leading, accusing her of being driven by personal animosity and political aspirations. The defense attorney of Trump Alina Habba said in a statement that Letitia James is the single most unethical Attorney General this nation has ever seen. The manner she has militarized her position via her political witch hunt defies all prosecutorial principles and infringes on fundamental constitutional liberties
The Fraud Investigation Remains Unknown
The exact scope of James' fraud investigation remains unknown, but her investigators have been collaborating with a parallel criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office, which has been looking into allegations of business, insurance, bank, and tax fraud and has been led by Cyrus Vance Jr. until recently.
The attorney general's office stated that it is seeking sworn testimony from Trump and that it would fight any efforts to get the subpoenas thrown out. spokeswoman Fabien Levy said, "Despite the Trump Organization's repeated efforts to stall our inquiry, we are certain that our inquiries will be addressed and the truth will be revealed because no one is above the law,".

WB&B Executive Search is recognized as the Nation's leading retained executive search firm with a focus on diversity and inclusion [FORTUNE, Crain's, The Wall Street Journal]. Founded 40 years ago, WB&B Executive Search is a Hispanic-owned minority business enterprise. According to The Conference Board, by the early 1990's, WB&B Executive Search had achieved the highest record of success in "courting" qualified top performers reflective of inclusion to the management ranks in academia, not-for-profit organizations, corporate America, and government agencies. This record of success continues.
Its founding mission "broke the mold" by mandating highly qualified women, LGBT, veterans and people of color be included in every candidate slate, regardless of whether or not there was a specific client request.

Apple Turns Topsy for Twitter Data
Apple spent more than $200 million to acquire Topsy Labs Inc., a social media analytics company that focuses on the analysis of Twitter's global conversation. This means Apple wants to have a greater share of the social life, but why?
Topsy uses special analytics tools that perform various functions, including measuring the exposure of campaigns or events, finding influential people on particular subjects and deciphering the frequency at which a given term is tweeted. It can track 95 percent of tweets by country of origin.
There are currently about 500 million tweets a day, and Topsy has had access to the "fire hose" since 2006. The company analyzes the information accessed and resells it to different customers. Only a few Twitter partners have such complete access to the stream of tweets.
This means it is unlikely that Topsy and Apple could have reached the agreement without receiving a nod from Twitter. However, neither Twitter nor Topsy has given any comment about the issue.
Analysts are still scratching their heads in an attempt to uncover the reason behind Apple's interest in Topsy. However, they note that the insights from Topsy are relevant to such Apple services as the iAd advertising platform, Siri voice assistant and iTunes media store. For example, Apple can use Topsy's analysis to recommend TV shows, movies and songs to iTunes users. The engineering knowledge gained could also be used to glean similar insights from various data sets.
Taking a closer look at what users are interested in will help Apple have a better understanding of their affinities. According to Altimeter Group's Susan Etlinger, an industry analyst, Twitter is streamlined toward understanding conversations revolving around entertainment.
This understanding can help Apple in its online advertising efforts, especially concerning its online streaming-music service called iTunes Radio. The data that Topsy collects can also benefit different Apple partners, including iOS app developers, advertisers in iAd and media companies that deliver relevant content to the iTunes stores.
These apple partners would enjoy better access to real-time data. The acquisition gives Apple the opportunity to help these partners improve their marketing efforts.
Apple launched iAd in 2010 as a way of selling ads within iOS apps for iPods, iPads and iPhones. However, marketers have not embraced it warmly so far. At first, the company wanted advertisers to invest at least $1 million per iAd campaign, but it has lowered the amount to $100,000.
Topsy can help Apple monitor what consumers say about its products in social media, including the iAd platform. The company's technology would also be useful in refining Siri voice assistant's search feature.

Safeguarding your hearing is a lot like eating the right way. It's difficult to know where to start even though it sounds like a smart idea. If there aren't any apparent noise dangers and you don't consider your daily environment to be particularly noisy, this is especially true. But your ears and senses can be stressed by everyday living, so your auditory acuity can be maintained if you practice these tips.
The most basic and sensible way that you can safeguard your ears is to protect your ears. This means taking basic steps to reduce the amount of loud and harmful noises you're subjected to.
Neither form of hearing protection is inherently better than the other. Each style has its positive aspects. Your choice of hearing protection should, most notably, feel comfortable.
But how do you know when to use hearing protection? We're used to associating dangerous noise with painful noise. But much lower volumes of sound can damage your ears than you might realize. After just a couple hours, for instance, the sounds of traffic are enough to damage your hearing. A vital step in protecting your hearing, then, is knowing when sound becomes harmful.
95-100 dB: This is the typical level of your earbuds or the level of farm equipment. This volume of noise becomes harmful after 15-20 minutes.
Over 100 dB: Your hearing can be very quickly injured by this. Injury is done in around thirty seconds with anything over this threshold. As an example, jet engines and rock concerts will injure your ears in 30 seconds.
85 decibels (dB): This volume of sound is hazardous after about two hours of exposure. Your hairdryer or a busy city street are both circumstances where you will find this level of sound.
Now that we have a basic idea of what levels of sound could be dangerous, we can take some precautions to ensure we minimize our exposure. The trick is that, once you're out in the real world, it can be difficult to gauge what's loud and what isn't.
Having a dynamic sound meter with you will help you evaluate everything you're hearing in decibels, so you'll have a much better idea of what harmful levels really sound like in your daily life.
A smartphone with earbuds is normally the way people listen to music nowadays. Your hearing is put at risk with this combination. Your hearing can be significantly damaged if you set your earbuds to high over a long period of time.
That's why safeguarding your hearing means keeping a sharp eye on your volume management. In order to drown out noises elsewhere, you should not raise the volume. in order to make sure that volume doesn't get too high, we suggest using volume configurations or app settings.
If your hearing begins to wane, earbuds can become a negative feedback loop; you could find yourself consistently raising the volume of your earbuds in order to compensate for your declining hearing, doing more damage to your ears in the process.
Generating data that can be used for both diagnostic applications and for treatment can best be achieved by scheduling a hearing examination and screening. This will give you a little extra context for future hearing choices and ear protection.
It would be ideal if you could always protect your ears without any problems. But there will always be difficulties. So whenever you can and as often as possible, safeguard your ears. You should also have your ears tested regularly. Hopefully, these guidelines will help you get a good start.

YOURS is a global organization that acts to make the world's roads safe for youth.
Our History Beliefs and Values Operational Details
Our Partners Our Staff Supervisory Board
YOURS is a direct follow-up of the United Nations World Youth Assembly for Road Safety in 2007. More than 400 young people from over a 100 countries gathered to discuss the global road safety crisis and how young people can be part of the solution. One of the main wishes of the World Youth Ambassadors was the creation of a global youth-led organization that would lead a global youth movement for road safety. After a full year of planning and preparations under the auspices of the World Health Organization, YOURS was officially launched November 2009 during the opening ceremony of the First Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety in Moscow, Russia, and started its activities early 2010.
In 2010, YOURS became also an official member of the United Nation Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC), the body for road safety issues through the UN system. Our work is fully supported by the World Health Organization and is a valuable long-term partner.
At the beginning, YOURS received a generous start-up grant from Michelin, who is a Founding Member of YOURS and has been a supporter of our work since the inception in 2009. Michelin and YOURS have a long-term partnership and are working together to improve the road safety for young people worldwide.
"We need a revolution for
action on road safety."
"The world has five years to deliver the most ambitious road safety target ever set: to halve road deaths and injuries globally. Surely we must look to young people to lead and energize this revolution."
Floor Lieshout
Founder / Executive Director - YOURS
Young people have a right to be adequately informed, consulted and empowered on road safety. YOURS believes that youth themselves have a vital role to help save lives on the world's roads. After all, this is the biggest threat to their lives. Young people can do so much to contribute. Is there any group better placed to act as role models, lead peer education, raise awareness, mobilize communities and advocate for change? Therefore we believe:
It is unacceptable that youth continue to die and get injured on the world´s roads. Knowing that:
Road traffic injuries are the #1 killer of young people aged 15-29
The Global Goals has a specific road safety target: by 2020, halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents
In order to reach the road safety target by 2020, we strongly believe:
in the high potential of youth to lead a road safety revolution
it is essential to empower young people to take action
in meaningful youth participation in all phases and levels of decision-making
in peer-to-peer communication to inform youth and indirectly the community at large
in taking a positive approach that focuses on the value of life
YOURS is a global youth organization that acts to make the world's roads safe for youth.

As Tea Partiers are hammered for their debt intransigence, four S.C. freshmen are being hailed at home.
The aftermath of the debt-ceiling debate hasn't been kind to some members of the Tea Party. Movement standard-bearers like Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) have been heckled in town-hall meetings back home. Standard & Poor's downgrade of the nation's credit rating was widely seen as targeted at conservative intransigence on budgetary matters. And nationwide, record numbers of voters say the Tea Party is a negative influence on politics—even as support sinks.
But in South Carolina, where all seven Republican members voted against the final debt deal and an earlier deal backed by fellow Republican Speaker John Boehner, the debate has made heroes of four freshmen representatives: Tim Scott, Mick Mulvaney, Jeff Duncan, and Trey Gowdy. The first-termers' refusal to bend to their party's leadership in the face of intense pressure appears to be a turning point for the men, both as politicians and as friends.
Their bond deepened after Scott, already a Tea Party rock star before his election, invited the other three to visit the Port of Charleston, the economic heart of his district. Similar visits in the other three districts soon followed, and they also have appeared at each other's fundraisers. Duncan and Scott live together; all men are between 44 and 46; Gowdy, who turns 47 later this month, "is the senior citizen," Mulvaney jokes. Although their earlier votes had differed on key measures, including the joint-strike fighter engine, they often functioned as a team.
Nonetheless, the debt-ceiling vote constituted a crucial test. After Boehner was forced to withdraw a vote on his plan when he lacked votes, Republican leaders sprang into action, employing a combination of emotional persuasion, intellectual argument, and good, old-fashioned political arm-twisting to get a majority.
What that pressure entailed depends on whom you ask, but it was apparently intense, with targeted representatives filing in and out of Boehner's office during pizza-fueled late-night sessions. With earmarks now banned, leaders can't buy off members with juicy appropriations as they used to. Mulvaney says there was plenty of pressure, implied or explicit, about committee assignments and fundraising help from the national party, while Gowdy says he wasn't worried about arm-twisting but struggled with the knowledge that he was disappointing leaders he looks up to. Duncan says the most intense approbation came not from Boehner and his team but from other Republicans who backed the deal and were upset by the South Carolinians' stand. While all four say they felt their relationship with the speaker was strengthened by the ordeal, Scott concedes that there were hard feelings among some rank-and-file members of the GOP caucus.
The four found safety and support in each other. "There were times when the four of us were sitting in a room staring at each other and thinking, 'Are we the only ones? Are we missing something?'" Gowdy says. The leadership hoped to flip at least one of the five South Carolinians (the other is Rep. Joe Wilson of "You lie!" fame) but ultimately failed to do so. "They didn't split us up that night, and if they didn't split us then, I don't think they will," Mulvaney says.
The final decision to oppose the plan was a matter of putting constituents before leaders, the group says, and without a commitment to Cut, Cap, and Balance, the Four Freshmen were out. "'I voted that way because Mr. Boehner asked me to' is not a good answer back home," Mulvaney says.
Indeed, the nay may be a career-preserving vote for all four. The state's conservatives are taking no prisoners: in 2010 South Carolinians turned out Bob Inglis, a Republican with a lifetime rating of 93 from the American Conservative Union. They voted down Gresham Barrett, the gubernatorial frontrunner, in retribution for his vote in favor of TARP in the House. Gowdy, who took Inglis' seat, and Duncan both faced primary opponents who had Tea Party support.
Woodard and other sources say word in the state is that Sen. Jim DeMint, one of the more strident Tea Party voices, reminded the four on the eve of the vote that they would likely face challenges from the right if they voted yes, suggesting that they might not have the backing of the state's most powerful figure if that happened. DeMint's office did not respond to a request for comment, and Scott and Mulvaney did not respond to a query about the issue. Duncan said he would not discuss private meetings within the delegation, and a spokesman for Gowdy said his vote was decided prior to the meeting and that the group discussed strategy for a proposed balanced-budget amendment.
That's not to say everyone is happy. Some moderate Republicans remain unsettled about the hard-right direction the state's delegation has taken. In Charleston, the Post and Courier published an editorial gently rapping the holdouts' knuckles for their failure "to recognize a victory when they see it." And there have been some upset calls to congressional offices, although each of the four said the vast majority of feedback had been positive.
But there could be less hyperbolic but more concrete ramifications. With federal spending slashed, states and municipalities will be under more pressure, and South Carolina already has one of the nation's highest unemployment rates, at 10.5 percent. John Spratt, former chairman of the powerful House Budget Committee, represented the state for 28 years in Congress before losing to Mulvaney in 2010. He criticizes the vote both on economic grounds—"given when happened in the stock market, the death of that debt-ceiling measure, coupled with the S&P report, it could have been catastrophic for the economy"—and political grounds.
As for the Four Freshmen, they're not too worried about it. Speaking from recess, they said returning home to widespread support was validating and made them feel good about their future as a team. But with the men's names floated for loftier offices—whether Senate or perhaps the governor's mansion in Columbia—what does the future hold? "I think ultimately we won't form a band or anything like that—we don't have that kind of talent," Scott deadpans.

    //
}

}
PLease guys really need your help

A: There are 2 ways to do this: one is declare route as resource:
Route::resource("member", "MemberController");

Or:
Route::post('store', 'MemberController@store')->name("member.store");

The first one get automatically the name like "member.store", "member.index", etc.
The second one the name that you have declared before at routes.php.

Knife crime sentence extended under new policy

ANYONE arrested with a knife in Scotland's town and city centres will be prosecuted before a Sheriff and jury, from today.
The move will result in a potential increase of a maximum prison term from one year to four years.
The strengthened prosecution policy for anyone found in possession of a knife in town and city centres has been introduced as a result of a successful pilot over the Christmas and New Year festive period aimed at deterring knife offences and reducing violence.
The maximum sentence for carrying a knife is now four years Photo:Murray M. Carter
At the end of last year a 'zero tolerance' crackdown on knife carrying in Scotland's town and city centres was enforced by the police between 12 December 2011 and 23 January 2012.
The Crown Office initiative followed the strengthening of the prosecution policy for those found in possession of a knife; on licensed premises; when local gang involvement is probable; on public transport or at a bus or train station: which was announced in July 2011 by the Lord Advocate.
The six-week pilot provided a snapshot of knife related crime and demonstrated the value in making the tougher action a permanent feature of the fight to deter violence and protect communities.
The number of knife crime offences reported to the prosecution service during the pilot was down to 212 – a reduction by 18% from the same period the previous year.
Of those offences committed within a town or city centre 58 offenders were placed on petition and face more serious penalties.
The Lord Advocate, Frank Mulholland QC said: "I am pleased to see that the prosecution service's zero tolerance policy to knife crime has resulted in a reduction in the number of cases reported to the COPFS over the same period as last year.
"From today the zero tolerance policy towards those who commit such offences in our town and city centres will be a permanent part of our prosecution policy. As I said at the outset of the crackdown, success can be measured by the prevention of just one act of violence.
"I can also reassure the public that the prosecution service will continue to work with the police and others to deter violence and protect communities."

September 16, 2018, 11:32 AM · I have met numerous musical colleagues, married to each other, who brushed off the idea that their own musical talent may have rubbed off on their children. These professionals, many of them orchestra players, tend to downplay their own level of talent because the music business has a way of humbling us all. Even those who have a warm, generous tone and can sight read with ease wonder why they can't do more, or, as crazy as it sounds, even do it at all.
I love the idea of talent, that something in us eases the process that defines music. When I first played in an orchestra at the age of eight, my ear rang while the music swirled around me. Some elements of talent were at play. However, when I played out of tune as I crossed strings, the talent I needed was missing. Some children saw the fingerboard as a series of evenly spaced grids; they had the talent that was hiding from me.
Young musicians with natural ability play a rhythm and their train of thought is as it should be: first of all, their ears hear the correct rhythm, then the bow and the left fingers obey their ears. Even a rubato in the ensemble is factored in. The beat has personality; it absorbs the emotion and the motion of all the accompanying voices. It goes well beyond the hollowness of a metronome. It is a beat with benefits.
The good news is that elements of talent can be taught. Even though I kept playing out of tune for years, or my rubatos were rather misshaped, the solutions were inside of me, but were just out of reach. Repressed talent in all of us can be awakened. It takes a teacher that explains the natural properties of music and technique. In the case of the fingerboard, Dr. Suzuki recognized the universal problem that children played the first finger on the A string and the adjacent first finger on the D string out of tune. He published a book called Quint Etudes to address the problem. That knowledge came naturally to a few, but for the rest of us, it needed to be explained.
Talent is the application of thought, logic, and experience. It is the opposite of inadequate explanations and wishful thinking that unfortunately has fueled our performances since we were young children. Our accumulated knowledge slowly and steadily takes our shortcomings and repressed talents from their hiding places and reverses the course of making the same mistakes over and over. Will power and conscious thought are significant tools that a musician brings to his instrument and ensemble. When a teacher admonishes a student to not think, just play, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
The first time I shifted felt like a near-death experience. My lack of eye-hand coordination as a child (couldn't throw a ball to save my life) somehow didn't stop me from playing the violin. I had a sufficient amount of "musical eye-hand-ear coordination" to do pretty well. I was not prepared for shifting, let alone playing off the string. When I shifted for the first time to third position, I instantly developed the crutch of letting the palm of my hand touch the shoulder of the violin. That lasted several years. Not entirely a bad habit, it helped me survive what might have been an abject fear of shifting. It didn't matter that much that my left wrist was hard as a rock and my hand was rather inflexible. I needed to get out of first position, and it did the trick. I was in Wohlfahrt opus 45, third position. I was on my way, baby.
A shift is neither hesitant nor overly cautious. It sets up the motion as inevitable and matter-of-fact. If you shift and you anticipate failure, you will slow down and not finish the motion until you're sure the pitch is correct.
Lead with the bow; of the two hands, the right has the easier job during a shift. An assertive and decisive bow arm will not disappoint you. So what if the shift is out of tune. If you figure out how sharp or flat you are, and by how much, you can fix it the next time.
Know the intervals before you leap. If one finger in the hand position is lost, chances are the finger you're shifting to will not land accurately.
Shifting is very much like playing hopscotch, but the spaces are more narrowly defined.
To firm up the trajectory and the landing, feel a magnetic pull between the fingertip and the fingerboard target. The ringing of the pitch in your ear should be closely connected to the sensation of hearing the pitch sounded from the violin.
Itzhak Perlman spoke eloquently about the fact that he wasn't a child prodigy but was fortunately blessed with talent. He made the point that many prodigies hit a brick wall when it comes to developing the flexibility and artistry that come with maturity. Even prodigies need to learn the skills that talent and experience reveal to each of us.
When a player works for hours and doesn't improve, he needs to change his perspective. If he's practicing shifts slowly, without rhythmic assertiveness and confidence, the whole exercise could be pointless. On the other hand, if he places the shift in a musical context, the hand and arm will seem to move themselves.
Even for the finest players, each has his Achilles' heel. By accepting that all musical and technical decisions are based on the underlying talent that defines music, amazing growth and unlimited possibilities will be the outcome.
September 19, 2018 at 10:33 PM · In the midst of reading about competitions and wunderkinds, it's refreshing to be reminded about balancing talent and hard work. It's also good to remember that each of us has some degree of talent that we must work to uncover. Your posts are always thoughtful, inspiring, and well written. Thank you!
September 20, 2018 at 12:34 PM · Thank you! Whenever I hit a brick wall in my practicing, I let myself free-associate. I let my mind wander, and the solution is more likely to come to me. This is especially true in musical matters, where lots of possibities can percolate. This type of practicing leads to more colors and shapes of phrases in my playing.


#Solar #Energy Infrastructure in Africa was the main topic of discussion at the POWER-GEN and DistribuTECH conference in Johannesburg, Africa from July 17-19 of this year. The three-day event hosted leaders and innovators in the solar and renewable energy fields to discuss solar power solutions that will help elevate Africa's overall utility infrastructure.
Through keynote speeches from #solar power and renewable #energy experts, along with presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, this event successfully brought together experts across multiple fields to discuss the future of Africa's renewable energy and infrastructure.
One man in particular named Lawrence Jones, the Vice President of International Markets at the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), was a standout at the conference for several different reasons, and one of the top experts in solar energy in attendance. In an interview conducted by Ashley Theron, the senior content editor for Smart Energy International (SEI), Jones described how Africa can work to build integrated solar power infrastructure within Africa.
His primary concern is the relationship between public and private parties within the solar power community and including the customer in these partnerships. Based on solar and renewable energy trends that Jones has observed, there is a need to incorporate and emphasize the customers that will directly benefit and utilize Africa's solar power. Jones goes on to describe that demographic shifts have influenced his current focus, as trends in solar power usage have shown this to be a relevant and pressing concern, particularly in terms of how solar power infrastructure will be built and where. Additionally, Jones mentioned that urbanization is another primary focus, mentioning that solar energy involves more than just one facet of urban structure.
Jones remarked that we, "have to look at energy in the context of water, transportation, [and] agriculture," and that solar energy infrastructure, if applied and created correctly, can satisfy multiple needs for the population. This becomes particularly important in the context of the future of solar energy in Africa, as estimates now state that by 2050 the world population will increase by another 2 billion people. This conference and the leaders that comprise the greatest minds in solar energy and renewable energy resources have both the challenge and the opportunity to forefront integrated innovations in the realm of solar power and potentially revolutionize solar power utility, not just in Africa, but for the world.
The optimism Jones holds for the future is apparent. He was confident as he detailed his vision of how the solar energy landscape might appear by 2050. According to Jones, a diversified structure that incorporates multiple elements of energy utility and production will be needed in order to satisfy the energy needs of a booming population. In terms of infrastructure itself, Jones envisions a diverse system made up of both smaller solar power energy infrastructures as well as larger ones.
The primary principles that Jones mentioned that help him continually realize and carry out the vision of an integrated solar energy structure and system include reliability, sustainability, and affordability. Solar power in general satisfies these needs, but Jones takes these principles into consideration specifically in regard to infrastructure. Plans for a diverse system of both smaller and larger solar energy plants, as well as centralized and decentralized plants will allow for great utility and energy distribution.
Jones addressed the need for the "right regulatory framework," and emphasized that now is the time to drift away from merely acknowledging this overall need for proper infrastructure and organization and proceed forward with solutions. Looking towards potential future problems, Jones stated that there will be a need for vigilance moving forward in terms of evolutions of technology and potentially harmful technology disruptions. His focus is on remaining abreast to the consequences of technology, whether intended or not.
Having the right business framework, to Jones, is the solution to avoiding as many negative consequences of solar power infrastructure integration as possible. The correct business model will be critical so that solar power and other solar energy resources are properly utilized, distributed, and managed.
The next POWER-GEN and DistribuTECH Conference will take place in May of 2019.


Well, I'll try to explain this in my own words, based on my time spent, doing what we do here.
The short description would be "We learn how to solve current and future problems with creative mobile solutions ". This involves human-centered design, user experience, how to work with different teams, experience based learning, which is learning through reflection on doing... to explain this in a more fun but still informative way, we decided to create a video that goes through some of the core assets of the mobile creative program. It was a fun and interesting project, we got in many discussions of what the word "mobile" really means, what mobile creatives really do, and what the experience of Hyper Island is for each and one of us. In the end, for me, it is about getting a mindset that is unique for the industry that we are in.

EAST COAST ROAD TRIP , CHAPTER 36: IN WHICH WE ARE INSPECTED Day 35: Truro, NS & Noel, NS. Heading out from Halifax this morning,...
Falling for Nova Scotia

EAST COAST ROAD TRIP, CHAPTER 36:
IN WHICH WE ARE INSPECTED
Day 35: Truro, NS & Noel, NS. Heading out from Halifax this morning, our top priority task before we did any letterboxing or sightseeing was mailing a birthday card to our niece Whitney. We were driving toward Truro, our first destination, when we saw a sign indicating that the town of Stewiacke has a special claim to fame.
Located at the 45th parallel north, Stewiacke (pop. 1,421) is said to sit halfway between the equator and the north pole. Sounded pretty cool, so we stopped at the local post office and mailed the card with the special "45th" postmark. Later we realized that there are also quite a few communities in the U.S. that share this distinction (as well as in the rest of the world, of course), but Stewiacke just made it seem really special.
At the head of the Cobequid Bay, Truro (pop. 11,765) calls itself the hub city because of its central location in the province and the confluence of roads and rail lines that crisscross there. Scattered through the downtown area are a collection of 36 unique sculptures depicting the figures important in the heritage of the town. The sculptures were carved from diseased trees when Dutch Elm struck and many fine specimens had to be chopped. They turned an environmental disaster into a town decoration.
The jewel of Truro has to be the 1,000-acre Victoria Park in the heart of the city. The park was developed by the citizens of Truro in 1903 as a memorial to Susan Lynds who donated some 25 acres of land to the city including two waterfalls and valley below. Since then, the park has been enlarged by gift and purchase to nearly 1,000 acres.
Bisected by a dramatic gorge, the park is heavily wooded with old growth trees. A network of challenging hiking and walking trails through the forest include extensive boardwalks and stairs to prevent visitors from falling down the steep hillsides and to protect the ravine from from pedestrian-induced erosion.
Victoria Park trail
Leaving the park, we spotted a local mushing on his scooter. When he saw me taking a photo, he told us that his dog, a Bouvier des Flandres, is just a pup. The breed originated in France, where they were used as herding dogs and for general farm work, including pulling carts.
Bill and his trainee
This puppy currently weighs 100 pounds, which will increase to about 175 when he's fully grown. We forgot to ask the man whether Fido has been fitted for a saddle.
Our last stop of the day was Burncoat Head Park in Noel, NS. Like its nearby neighbor Fundy, Cobequid Bay experiences extreme tide shifts. In fact Burncoat Head claims to have obtained the endorsement of the world record keepers at Guinness: "Burncoat Head in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia has the greatest average tide at 47.5 feet and an extreme range of 53.6 feet."
Burncoat Head Park
At low tide, there's said to be great fossil-hunting along the rocky red cliffs. We arrived when the tide was high, so all we found was a letterbox near the Burncoat lighthouse. As we arrived at the lighthouse, the official ambassador jumped down from his observation post atop a picnic table and came over to greet us.
Ken and the Burncoat lighthouse welcome committee
Once he checked us out thoroughly, we were approved to enter the lighthouse, and he accompanied us inside. The college student working as a summer intern at the park said that he is a "neighborhood" cat who hangs out at the lighthouse in the summer season. Since the nearest houses were quite a distance away, he must be very dedicated to his work.
Miles driven: 154

For spectroscopy, a broad sweep of wavelengths is used to stimulate vibrations, electron transitions, and other processes, thus probing the world of atoms and molecules. However, one lesser-used form of light is the terahertz region. Lying on the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and microwaves, this radiation does have the right frequency to excite molecular vibrations. Unfortunately, its long wavelength makes it impossible to focus beams onto a single molecule by conventional optics. Only large ensembles of molecules can be studied.
Recently, a team led by The University of Tokyo's Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) found a way around this problem. They showed that terahertz radiation can indeed detect the motion of individual molecules, overcoming the classical diffraction limit for focusing light beams. In fact, the method was sensitive enough to measure the tunneling of a single electron. The team showcased a single-molecule transistor: two adjacent metal electrodes, the source and the drain of the transistor, are placed on a thin silicon wafer in a bowtie shape. Then, single molecules – in this case C60 – are deposited in the sub-nanometer gaps between the source and drain. The electrodes act as antennas to tightly focus the terahertz beam onto the isolated fullerenes.
"The fullerenes absorb the focused terahertz radiation, making them oscillate around their center-of-mass," explains Shaoqing Du. "The ultrafast molecular oscillation raises the electric current in the transistor, on top of its inherent conductivity." Although this current change is minuscule on the order of femto-amps it can be precisely measured with the same electrodes used to trap the molecules. In this way, two vibrational peaks at around 0.5 and 1 THz were plotted.
In fact, the measurement is sensitive enough to measure a slight splitting of the absorption peaks, caused by adding or subtracting only one electron. When C60 oscillates on a metal surface, its vibrational quantum can be absorbed by an electron in the metal electrode. Thus stimulated, the electron tunnels into the C60 molecule. The resulting negatively charged C60 molecule vibrates at a slightly lower frequency than neutral C60, thus absorbing a different frequency of terahertz radiation.
