Flerungen (auch Fleringen, früher Vlederingen o. ä.) ist der Name eines erloschenen niederländisch-westfälischen Adelsgeschlechts.

Geschichte

Das Geschlecht stammt aus der niederländischen Bauernschaft Fleringen, heute ein Ortsteil von Tubbergen, in der Provinz Overijssel. Dort besaßen die Herren von Vlederingen im 14. Jahrhundert das Rittergut Herinckhave.

Bereits 1133 erscheint ein Hugo de Fledre in einer von Rudolf von Steinfurt ausgestellten Urkunde. 1252 erklärte Sophia, Priorin des Klosters Weerselo, dass Hermannus de Vletheringe ein Haus an den Konvent verkauft hatte. Ein Hof te Vlederingen kommt urkundlich erst 1337 im Lehnsregister von Otto III. von Bentheim vor.

Hermann van Vlederingen, Burgmann von Goor, wird um 1310 genannt. Seine Tochter Mechtild war mit Jacob Swartecop verheiratet. Hadewych (Hedwig), eine weitere Tochter, die um 1383 einen Zehnten in Albergen, Fleringen und Zenderen als Lehen des Bischofs von Utrecht besaß, heiratete Arend Grubbe. Sie verstarb vermutlich 1384. Ein namentlich nicht bekannter Sohn Hermanns hatte drei Söhne: Hermann, Hugo und Johann. Hugo (van Versene geheeten) van Vlederinghe war 1405 Richter in Ootmarsum. Johann trat 1439 urkundlich auf. Hermann wiederum hatte einen Sohn namens Dirk van Vledringen, der mit Hadewych van Eschendorp verheiratet war. Die Eheleute saßen auf Herinckhave. Ihr Sohn hieß wie sein Großvater Hermann. Er trat 1449 dem Deutschen Orden bei. Weder von ihm noch von seinem Vater oder seinen Großonkeln sind weitere Nachkommen bekannt. Haus Herinckhave fiel dadurch an die Grubbe. 1457 wurde Hermann Grubbe mit dem Haus belehnt.

Das Wappen der Herren von Flerungen findet sich am Chorgestühl der Prämonstratenserstiftskirche Cappenberg in Selm. Dort wurde es als Teil der Ahnentafel der Steveninck angebracht. Nach dieser Ahnentafel war eine von Flerungen um 1450 mit einem von Hövell verheiratet.

Wappen
Blasonierung: In Schwarz drei rechtsschräge goldene Balken, jeder mit drei roten Wecken belegt. Auf dem Helm zwei Wedel von schwarzen Fahnenfedern mit goldenen Griffen. Die Helmdecken sind rot-golden.

How Should CFOs Leverage Treasury in 2019?
As we turn the corner on 2018, most CFOs will be focused on the simultaneous tasks of helping their chief executives to exploit the opportunities that come with a booming economy, while also buffering their organizations from the risk of potential economic deceleration, increased FX and interest rate volatility, and an ever growing regulatory and compliance burden. As a result, CFOs will inevitably expect their treasury functions to provide practical and strategic advice to help with all of these elements.

Us Weekly gives Ivanka Trump credit for failing
It's time to end this awful access journalism trope.
By Jeff Guo@_jeffguo Jun 7, 2017, 3:40pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Us Weekly gives Ivanka Trump credit for failing
To understand one of the key shortcomings of the press, consider the esteem that reporters routinely lavish on Ivanka Trump, the favored presidential daughter who has somehow fashioned herself as the good cop to her father's bad cop.
The narrative of Ivanka as a moderating influence on her father's crueler impulses suffered another setback last Thursday, when the president announced, over her objections, that United States would pull out of the Paris accord, a major climate change agreement. For that, CNN awarded her its "Worst Week in Washington."
It didn't take long for the press to resume fawning over her. Us Weekly splashed Ivanka on its newest cover this week, praising her for "balancing her personal ideals with love and loyalty for her father."
The full article is not out yet, but from the snippet released so far, the cover story will likely retread the same myths about Ivanka as a competent advocate. "Ivanka is the best woman for the job," Us Weekly gushes, describing her as a "skilled negotiator" who knows "just how to work [Trump] — stating her case calmly and directly."
In tone, the tabloid magazine's fawning profile doesn't sound all that different from sections of Politico's Ivanka story last week, which was laden with blind quotes defending her failure to sway her father on climate change. According to one explanation, it was "unrealistic and unfair" to expect that Ivanka would "single-handedly change her father's position away from long-standing Republican orthodoxy."
Another excuse was that Ivanka hadn't really been trying. According to "people close to the first daughter and her husband" (read: their friends), Ivanka's attention was on women's issues, while her husband's attention was on the Middle East — and that "climate change was never their focus." Of course, that contradicts an earlier Politico story — headlined "Ivanka Trump, climate czar?" — which claimed that Ivanka wanted to make climate change "one of her signature issues."
Meanwhile, the soft-focus stories keep coming. A widely ridiculed CNN story last week described Ivanka as "America's most powerful Jewish woman" for no other reason, apparently, than the fact that she is Jewish and the daughter of the president. This, in spite of the Trump administration's documented weirdness about the Holocaust, including a statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day that never mentioned Jewish people.
On child care and parental leave, the issues that Ivanka seems to be most passionate about, her sole victory has been to slip a modest family leave program into Trump's latest budget proposal. Even here, Ivanka has gotten more than her fair share of the credit in the press. A CNN story Tuesday described a new think tank report on paid family leave as a "big boost for Ivanka's paid parental leave plan" — as if scholars on the left and right hadn't been pushing this idea for years, long before Ivanka put her stamp on it.
Ivanka's political efforts might best be described as an extension of her brand, which was always about breezy, cosmopolitan affluence. To the extent that certain political views were necessary to complete that image, Ivanka seems to have done the minimum amount of advocacy necessary in her role as a member of Trump's inner circle.
It's worth noting that Ivanka has an advice book out now, full of vague or otherwise impractical tips that are best understood as an exercise in burnishing her image as a successful, professional woman. The book can be seen as a metaphor for her political efforts: Ineffective at best, but a savvy branding campaign.
Ivanka's efforts at self-promotion have neatly lined up with the media's own demand for characters. The relentlessly optimistic coverage of Ivanka speaks to an instinct to frame the world in moral terms: Much of political coverage is storytelling, and too often, people are slotted either as heroes or villains, forces for good or for evil.
It helps that Ivanka "possesses a type of beauty that often passes as moral uprightness," as the New Yorker's Jia Tolentino puts it — the kind of beauty that sells magazine covers, that invites people to give her endless free passes. The press was always going to find someone in the White House to cheer, and why not Ivanka? At least she looks the part of the protagonist.

Info for Tchaikovsky: Ballet Suites
Before Tchaikovsky, most ballet music served primarily as an accompaniment; it needed to be modestly characterful, rhythmically straightforward stuff that wouldn't distract the audience from the dancers, or make the dancers forget their steps. Tchaikovsky changed all that, creating music that was the equal of the physical movements onstage, and that could be listened to and enjoyed for its own sake. This album collects suites of highlights from all three of the composer's ballets: 'The Sleeping Beauty,' 'Swan Lake,' and 'The Nutcracker.' Cellist/conductor Mstislav Rostropovich has always had a strong affinity for Tchaikovsky's music, and this is perhaps his finest achievement on record. You'll probably never get the chance to hear the Berlin Philharmonic play in the orchestra pit of your favorite ballet company, but this recording gives an idea of just how fabulous it would be if you did. These performances soar and swing so magically, you might have the urge to dig those toe shoes out of the back of the closet.
'Rostropovich's triptych of Tchaikovsky ballet suites is very special. His account of The Nutcracker is enchanting... The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake selections are hardly less distinguished...' (The Penguin Guide)
"Shortly after recording these three ballet suites in 1978, Mstislav Rostropovich likened conducting the Berlin Philharmonic to driving a locomotive. You get on, and you go where it takes you, he said--but in this case, the orchestra went where he wanted it to go. The playing is magnificent, but it is the characterization, the things Rostropovich gets the players to do that they wouldn't otherwise have done, that makes these accounts so memorable. As you listen, you are transported to a different world, for no conductor understands Tchaikovsky's soul better than Rostropovich. The delicacy is amazing, the power overwhelming; the analog recording captures it all in outstanding fashion." (Ted Libbey)

The Asia Tour
born in Liverpool in 1955, assumed the post of chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker and artistic director of the Berliner Philharmonie in September 2002.
After studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London he took on various engagements in England and the USA, where he was principal guest conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1980 Simon Rattle was appointed principal conductor and artistic adviser of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO). He became the orchestra's music director in 1990 and remained with the ensemble until 1998.
In addition to the CBSO, Simon Rattle continued to conduct leading orchestras in the USA and Europe, enjoying long-term collaborations with such ensembles as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic. In May 2002 he recorded the complete Beethoven symphonies with the Vienna Philharmonic and joined forces with Alfred Brendel to record a boxed set of the Beethoven piano concertos. Since October 1992 Simon Rattle has been principal guest conductor of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and artistic adviser to the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.
Since his operatic debut at the 1977 Glyndebourne Festival, Simon Rattle has continued to conduct opera regularly. He has appeared at opera houses in Paris, Amsterdam and London, and in January 2005 he was invited to the Wiener Staatsoper for the first time, where he conducted Richard Wagner's Parsifal. In April 2008 he made his debut at the Staatsoper Berlin, conducting Claude Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande in a revival of the Ruth Berghaus production. In December 2010 he made his Metropolitan Opera New York debut with Pelléas et Mélisande.
Simon Rattle has led the Berliner Philharmoniker in staged productions of Ludwig van Beethoven's Fidelio, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Così fan tutte, Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes and Claude Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande, Salome by Richard Strauss and George Bizet's Carmen as well as a concert performance of Mozart's Idomeneo at the Salzburg Easter Festival. Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen was presented at Salzburg in a co-production with the Aix-en-Provence Festival, beginning with Das Rheingold in 2007, followed by Die Walküre in 2008 and Siegfried in 2009, with Götterdämmerung completing the cycle in 2010.
Before being appointed chief conductor of the orchestra, Simon Rattle had already collaborated with the Berliner Philharmoniker over a period of 15 years. His conducting debut with the ensemble took place on 14 November 1987 with a performance of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 6. He continued to lead the orchestra on a regular basis, conducting repertoire ranging from Jean-Philippe Rameau to world premieres.
Simon Rattle has an exclusive recording contract with EMI; together they have produced more than 70 recordings with the CBSO and other orchestras. He inspired the British television series Leaving Home (Channel 4), which brings 20th-century orchestral music to the general public. The series is also available in Germany on DVD and won an award in 1997. Rattle's recording partnership with the Berliner Philharmoniker began with recordings of Franz Liszt's Faust Symphony and Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 10 in Deryck Cooke's performing version. These were followed by Arnold Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder and Mahler's Fifth Symphony in 2002, Ludwig van Beethoven's Fidelio in 2003 and Olivier Messiaen's Éclairs sur l'au-delà in 2004. In the same year, the Berliner Philharmoniker produced its first independent recording, Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps, which formed the soundtrack for the film Rhythm Is It! 2005 brought releases of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, a collection of orchestral songs by Benjamin Britten with Ian Bostridge and Antonín Dvořák's symphonic poems. Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in C major, Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben and Der Bürger als Edelmann, Gustav Holst's The Planets, with Colin Matthews's Pluto and compositions on asteroids by Kaija Saariaho, Brett Dean, Matthias Pintscher and Mark-Anthony Turnage, were released in 2006, as well as a collaboration with Krystian Zimerman as soloist in Johannes Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 1 (on Deutsche Grammophon).
The 2007 recording of Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem with the Rundfunkchor Berlin and soloists Thomas Quasthoff and Dorothea Röschmann received a Grammy Award in February 2008. A Haydn concert of Symphonies No. 87 – 92, recorded live in the Berlin Philharmonie in February 2007, was released the following August. The live recording of the 2007 New Year's Eve concert, with Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky/Ravel and Borodin's Second Symphony and Polovtsian Dances, appeared on the market one week later. In March 2008 the live CD of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 9, recorded in the Philharmonie in October of the previous year, was released. The recording of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms and Symphony in C, released in June 2008, won a Grammy as "Best Choral Performance" in February 2009. Sir Simon Rattle's recent releases include Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major and Maurice Ravel's one-act opera L'Enfant et les sortilèges and Ma Mère l'Oye, recorded live in concert at the Philharmonie in September 2008. The recording of Johannes Brahms's four symphonies was released in Germany in August 2009, and Peter Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker was released in September 2010. Mahler's Symphony No. 2 was published in Spring 2011. The recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's St Matthew Passion in a ritualisation by Peter Sellars, which was performed in April 2010 in the Philharmonie, was released on DVD and Blu-ray in Spring 2012. Furthermore a CD (EMI) with the live recording of a Philharmoniker concert in February 2012 featuring Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 in the performing edition of the fourth movement completed from the manuscripts by Samale-Phillips-Cohrs-Mazzuca is available since May 2012.
In 1994 Simon Rattle was knighted by the Queen of England and has since received numerous distinctions. In 1996 the Toepfer Foundation in Hamburg awarded him the Shakespeare Prize; in 1997 he received the Albert Medal from the Royal Society of Arts in recognition of his extraordinary service to music, his activities in music education and his contributions to the musical community, all of which are important aspects of his work in Berlin. Since assuming his post as artistic director of the Philharmonic in September 2002, he has taken the orchestra in new directions with the Education Programme of the Berliner Philharmoniker. He has been honoured many times for his commitment to music education. In May 2005 he was awarded the Schiller Special Prize by the city of Mannheim, and in Spring 2007 he received the Golden Camera and the Urania Medal.

How to Add or Remove Section Breaks in MS Word
Know How to Organise Your Word Documents More Professionally
by Qurat-ul-Ain March 15, 2021, 8:05 am
Including section breaks in a long document makes it easier for the reader to navigate. Here's how you can add or remove section breaks in a Word document.
Microsoft Word has done wonders for us when it comes to the editorial department. With a wide range of functionalities, it allows us to create the perfect document in a jiffy. Among the many features that we can access in Microsoft Word, the one that eases readability in a document has to be the section break. By introducing section and page breaks, the workflow becomes much easier.
Why do You Need Section and Page Breaks?
In a long document, introducing partitions in different parts comes in real handy and makes it easy for the reader to go through the document. For this purpose, section and partition page breaks are used.
Page and section breaks are mostly used when jumping to the next topic of discussion in a long document or introducing a new chapter in the book. A section page basically distinguishes some part of the text visually to provide an enhanced reading experience.
How to Insert a Section or Page Break
In order to insert a section or a page break, you must first choose the place where you want to insert it in a text.
Place your cursor in the document to indicate where you want the specific section to end and the next one to begin.
Go to the top of the page and click on 'Insert'.
It will open a list of options. Click on 'Break'.
Next, choose the type of section break you want to introduce.
Alternatively, click on 'Layout'.
Proceed to the options and choose 'Breaks'.
Similarly, choose the type of break you want to insert.
How to Remove a Section or Page Break
1. Start by displaying all the breaks inserted in a document.
2. Choose the section break you want to remove by highlighting it with your cursor.
3. Press the 'Delete' or 'Backspace' key on your keyboard.
The section break will be removed and the text will be formatted according to the next section.
Adding or removing section breaks in your Word document can help you better organize your text and get more control as far as formatting is concerned.

Ash Genial Wedge Sneakers are another option with all of your favorite summer styles.
Heidi Klum shows us yet another way to don a wedge sneaker as these retro-feeling Ash Genial Sneakers could easily be worn with another hot summer style – denim overalls. The deliberate scuffing creates a lived-in feel and even though these shoes are quite modern, the white rubber sole with red and blue stripes is definitely a bit vintage inspired. This season, your spring sneaker style should definitely include these white sneakers from Ash!
One thing is certain this season, white sneakers from Ash can easily be worn with all of your favorite spring garb, including shorts, jeans and more. Although not shown, any of these styles would be fun paired with a casual black knit maxi skirt or a basic tank top. The look is sporty and stylish, giving you yet one more way to don these sneakers!

Schindler offering comprises IOT-enabled elevator and escalator operations, preventive maintenance, and innovative building access systems including facial recognition and mobile access.
Hong Kong – 19 October 2018. On 18 October, 2018 Schindler hosted a technology event in Hong Kong to introduce revolutionary IOT solutions aimed at answering the city's needs for smart mobility. Schindler gave its guests a glimpse of all that can be achieved by capitalizing on the power of digital technology.
Schindler Hong Kong Introduces Revolutionary IOT Solutions From left to right: Noky Wong – Managing Director of Schindler Hong Kong Lifts Ltd., Robert Seakins - President of Schindler Asia Pacific, Y.K. Pang – Deputy Managing Director of Jardine Matheson Ltd., Jujudhan Jena – CEO of Jardine Schindler Group, Markus Staudenmann – CEO of Schindler Digital Group.
While Hong Kong's building transportation system currently ranks as one of the best in the world, Hong Kong's Smart City Blueprint highlights that more investment in innovation and technology is required to ensure the city will rightfully maintain its status as a world-class Smart City.
For the last 10 years, Schindler has been working on building a digital platform that will bring elevators and escalators to life. This technology, named Schindler Ahead, makes use of a powerful IOT-platform to analyze cloud-based data in real time, so that potential issues can be anticipated and resolved before they occur. It also provides operators and building managers with real time status reports, and tailored apps that enable them to check on operational performance and commercial data to better manage their equipment portfolio.
Innovations from the Schindler Ahead partner ecosystem ensures the equipment is future-proof through regular Over The Air (OTA) updates via the Schindler Cloud. With continuous updates and the use of technologies such as firewalls, program encapsulation and encryption techniques, Schindler Ahead complies with the highest standards of data privacy such as ISO 2700X and the National Institute of Standards to ensure the security of the equipment data.
As described by guest speaker, Eric Pang, Deputy Director / Trading Services of Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, "with the advance in communication technology, lifts and escalators can be connected to the internet or the cloud – becoming part of the "Internet of Things - IoT", thereby making it possible to continuously monitor the operating status of the equipment. With emerging innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, deep learning, etc., performance as well as end-of-life failure can be precisely predicted, allowing repairs or replacements be done ahead of breakdown."
In addition, Schindler has also developed intelligent access solutions, including myPORT, a unique smartphone-based service that provides building users with higher security and offers seamless personalized transit within buildings, as well as facial recognition access systems for greater convenience of movement.
Customers explore Schindler Ahead and the latest Schindler IoT innovations.
"Schindler Ahead is the game changer for our industry. It brings intrinsic value to our customers with considerably higher uptime, and provides real time detailed insights to building owners and facility managers from connected elevators and escalators. Coupled with advanced analytics, and machine learning, it offers convenience and creates a superior passenger experience", said Markus Staudenmann, CEO, Schindler Digital Group Limited.
Schindler Ahead and other Schindler digital innovations have already been successfully adopted in major developments around the world, including Hong Kong and Singapore.
"At Jardine Schindler, we see Hong Kong as an innovation hub and a lead market for digitization. Over the last decade, Schindler's cutting-edge technologies have delivered valuable solutions to our customers. Powerful insights gained from Schindler Ahead today will revolutionize service quality and optimize equipment performance. Looking to the future, Schindler's innovations will become a smart gateway to help our customers enhance their tenant and user experience as they spend more time transiting through the urban landscape" said Jujudhan Jena, CEO of Jardine Schindler Group.

Founded in Switzerland in 1874, the Schindler Group is a leading global provider of elevators, escalators and related services. Schindler mobility solutions move more than one billion people every day all over the world. Behind the company's success are over 60,000 employees in more than 100 countries.

Snighole is a local beauty spot situated in the valley of the River Ogden in the Lancashire village of Helmshore, near Haslingden in the Rossendale Valley. In the local dialect it is pronounced 'snig 'ole'.

The Ravenshore viaduct by Snighole is locally known as 'Little Blackpool', and was particularly popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century as a bathing place when people had neither the time or resources to travel far for their leisure. In the later part of the twentieth century the river suffered from serious pollution from local industry, although this is now very much improved. In the river close to the viaduct there are scratched drawings in the rocks dating back to the time when the area was much used by local bathers. The word snig is a local dialect term for eel. (Snig can also be a word for grass snake in parts of Lancashire.)

For students looking for entertaining films to watch, it can be difficult to find what you want in Whatcom Community College library's limited selection. But now the student council has teamed up with the library to expand the DVD collection.
The student council approved the library's request of $500 to purchase new DVDs. The library pledged to match every dollar allocated by the student council, for a total of $1,000 to purchase about 70 new DVDs, out of a list of 114, for general circulation.
Kiki Tommila, Collection Development librarian, says this came about when a student, Charles Pope, was looking for a film that the library did not have. As it happened, Pope is on the student council, and wanted to help expand their library.
Some of the titles include "The Birth of a Nation," "Fargo," and "The French Connection." Many of the films are used in various film classes, but not all the important films are able to be covered. Having these films in the library enables students to view them on their own time.
Tommila said that part of the reason, for the collaboration with the student council is that the library has limitations on what it can and cannot buy using their own budget.
"We have a policy, and things we buy have to fall into that policy," Tommila said. Anything the library purchases from the state budget it gets from the state must "directly support the curriculum or support research." These films don't qualify, as they are not a mandatory part of the curriculum. The library's part of the cost will be covered by proceeds of book sales.
Pope said he feels that international students would especially benefit from being able to study American culture through film, particularly documentaries. Likewise, American students could benefit from the international films being added to the collection.
Pope said that some of the films were his idea, and others were suggested by students, mainly his constituency. These suggestions were left at the circulation desk by students, and passed along to Tommila as well as emailed directly to her. The student council prioritized which films they would really like to see, and Tommila made the final decision.
There is interest, Pope said, in further expansion. He said he would like to see an even bigger expansion for the DVD collection in the near future. "For myself, it's much easier to check out videos from the library on campus than going to a video store," he said.
This article is well done with great quotes. I was wondering though where does the library get the movies? How much do the movies cost? Are the movies available to take home or stay in the library?

A Kelowna man has been arrested after an online threat was made against the city's mayor.
Colin Basran, who has been mayor of Kelowna since 2014, shared the violent threat that was made against him with his Instagram followers on Wednesday,
Kelowna man arrested after online threat made against mayor Back to video
The comment, which was posted on Facebook by a man identified as Bruce Edward Taylor, stated someone should "put a bullet in" Basran.
Kelowna RCMP, who were made aware of the post on Tuesday evening, have arrested a 52-year-old man in connection with the threat.
Police say the man, whose named has been withheld pending charges, was later released with strict conditions and is expected to appear in court on June 24.

Basran, a former TV journalist who was first elected to Kelowna city council in 2011, said the threat brought him to tears.
"I'm scared, angry, sad and everything in between. I put up with a lot of criticism at times, but threatening my safety is completely unacceptable! If this is the new norm for elected officials, I want no part of it," he said on Instagram.
At a press conference Wednesday, Basran said the bigger issue for him is preserving civility and a collective commitment to civil discourse.
"More than ever it's vital to challenge those who use personal attacks, online bullying, or vulgar language to stifle opposing points of view. This is not the behaviour that encourages a diverse and inclusive community we are all working so hard to build," he said.

Class of 1966's Splendid 50th Reunion:
Part 1, Friday's Golden Celebration
Class members and professors pose on the stairs of David Student Union after their outstanding dinner celebration. Row 1 (L-R) Dr. Jane Chambers, Dr. Barry Wood, Brenda Carney, Norman Blankenship, Joel Lewis, Charlie Snead, & Ellen Babb Melvin. Row 2 (L-R): Jim Paxton, Jim Collie, Wayne Rammell, & Marie Boudreau Smith. Row 3 (L-R): Buddy Spencer, Woody Compton, &Ted McFalls. CNU photo.
As the FEEDBACK in this issue shows, the 50th Reunion of CNC's Class of 1966 was a great success. The two-day celebration (May 13 & 14), held on the beautiful CNU campus, drew former students and faculty from near (the Peninsula) and far (Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the Carolinas). All of them and their guests were treated royally, as reflected in this sample of the numerous photos made by CNU's Alumni Relations staff during Friday evening's Golden Reunion Celebration in David Student Union.
During the Cocktail Hour, the attendees were visited by CNU President Paul Trible, who delivered a short speech of welcome and then interacted with the 1966 class members and guests. Those in the photo to the left are (L-R) Dr. Barry Wood, President Trible, Woody Compton, Dr. Jane Chambers, Buddy Spencer, & Wayne Rammell. Mr. Trible welcomed guest Jayne Spencer (R) with a hug, while Dr. Jane chatted with Jayne's husband, Buddy Spencer. The String Quartet, musicians from CNU's Music Department, provided music during this time.
In the left photo, Dr. Barry Wood (living now in Maryland) looks especially happy that the salads are being served. With him is class member Brenda Carney, who lives in Smithfield. The right photo shows Dalton and Norman Blankenship (from Honea Path, SC) pleased that their table decoration has a 1966 Trident yearbook photo of the Student Athletic Association officers. The seated youth in that black & white photo is Norman, who was the SAA president then.
Scott Millar (left photo), delivered the Welcome at the beginning of the Dinner Program. A 1985 alumnus of CNU (still CNC then), Scott is the Vice Rector of the University's Board of Visitors and Past President and current member of the Alumni Society Board. He is related to former faculty Dr. Al Millar (deceased) and Dr. Marshall Booker, both of whom encouraged him to attend CNC. Scott and his wife, Muriel, also a CNC alumna, awarded Honorary Alumni Certificates and Alumni Pins. Then each class member was pinned in a short ceremony. On the right you see Charlie Snead being pinned by his wife, Thommy. The Sneads live in Hendersonville, NC.
This first photo (left) shows the gold number 50 on the side table behind Dalton and Norman Blankenship. Decorations everywhere in the room, including fresh flowers on every table, added to the FIRST CLASS level of this Reunion Celebration. On the right is a photo (made by class member Ellen Babb Melvin) of the entree, featuring wonderful char-grilled filet mignons with bacon and smoky blue cheese sauce.
On the left in this first photo are Hamptonians Woody and Sue Compton and, at the back, Buddy and Jayne Spencer, residents of Tabb. On the right in the second photo are Wayne and Wanda Rammell, also from Hampton and, at the back, Joel and Gail Lewis, who live in Henrico and got into such bad traffic on I-64 East that it took them three hours to get to CNU. Alumnus of the Year in 2005 at ODU, after his wonderful time at his CNU reunion Joel now considers himself "a proud alumnus of both" CNU and ODU and has donated to the Alumni House and Cunningham Scholarship.
Dr. Barry Wood (Photo L) addresses the group, some of whom were his students fifty years ago. A short informative speech was also given by Dr. Jane and, at the conclusion of the feast, by Director of Alumni Relations Baxter Vendrick. A standing champagne toast to the Class of 1966 followed the meal's Third Course: Triple Chocolate Amaretto Mousse. In the second photo, you can see this wonderful dessert and the glasses of champagne. Charlie Snead (L) seems a little sleepy after the filet mignon feast. The ladies (L-R) are his wife, Thommy, and former classmates Ellen Babb Melvin and Marie Boudreau Smith, both of Hampton. The Sneads, who live in Hendersonville, NC, and Ellen, rarely miss the September Picnics of the First Decaders.
On display at the 1966 Reunion was this portrait of H. Westcott ("Scotty") Cunningham, by Agnes McMurran Johnson, a well-known Peninsula artist. Recently donated to CNU by the Cunningham family, it will be displayed in the Alumni House, along with other Cunningham memorabilia.
Amy Boykin and staff, of Trible Library, also provided an interesting collection of 1966 - related memorabilia for the Golden Celebration, including several issues of the Captain's Log, the 1966 Trident yearbook, a student directory and other items. The CNU Music Department provided entertainment during the evening: the String Quartet, during the Cocktail Hour, and during Dinner, individual soloists and the student singers CNU Voices. All in all, this 50th Reunion, like the three before it, was an unforgettable experience for all who attended.

Part 2, Saturday's Commencement
Class of 1966 members and professors posed in front of Luter Hall before Commencement 2016 began: (L - R) Jim Paxton, Dr. Barry Wood, Jim Collie, Norman Blankenship, Ellen Babb Melvin, Charlie Snead, and Dr. Jane Chambers. Except where otherwise stated, all photos here are by CNU's Alumni Relations staff.
The Golden Reunion good times continued on Saturday morning, May 14, although only five of the twelve honorees, plus the 2 professors, attended the commencement part of the reunion. The seven gathered at 9:00 a.m. inside the main entrance of Luter Hall, home of the School of Business, to enjoy a very nice continental breakfast and to don their academic regalia.
The left photo shows four happy people--(L- R) Dr. Jane, Jim Paxton, Dr. Barry, and Jim Collie--in front of Luter Hall's first floor staircase. The right photo, courtesy of Ellen Babb Melvin, shows how Luter's first floor entrance was transformed into an eatery for the honorees and their guests, with assorted Danish pastries, fresh fruits, and various breakfast beverages. Looking at the camera are (L- R): Jim Collie, Ellen Babb Melvin, and Charlie Snead and his wife, Thommy.
The first photo above shows all seven of us (L - R): Charlie Snead, Ellen Babb Melvin, Jim Paxton, Dr. Wood, Dr. Chambers, Norman Blankenship, and Jim Collie. The lady in pink behind Charlie is his wife, Thommy. The second photo is a delightful close-up of (L - R) Charlie, Ellen, and Jim Paxton.
As usual, our white canopy tent and chairs were located just a few steps from the entrance to Luter Hall, making it easy for us to go in and out of Luter if we needed to. A table with more food and beverages was next to the tent for those who wanted more to eat or drink. We had a view of the new Newport Hall on our left, with the commencement stage in front of it, plus a view of most of the 1,300 degree recipients and several hundred faculty seated near the stage. CNU estimated about 10,000 people attended the event..
In the left picture are professors emeriti Wood (L) and Chambers (R), with their almost-matching transition lens glasses. The lady partly in view behind them is Dalton Kelley Blankenship, wife of class member Norman Blankenship. In the right photo are Norman (L) and Jim Collie (R), standing during the academic procession.
High praise goes to CNU's Alumni Relations staff, who did so much both Friday and Saturday to make the Class of 1966 and their guests feel like royalty. These next two pictures include some of them. The left photo shows (first on left) Alumni Relations Officer Katie Monteith and her boss (last on right), Baxter Vendrick, Director of the Office of Alumni Relations, having fun with 1966 alumni Charlie and Ellen. The right photo, courtesy of Ellen, shows Ellen with sophomore Ken Kidd, a student intern with the Alumni Relations Office. Ellen wrote of him on Facebook: "He really looked out for me and I can't say enough about what a nice and thoughtful young man he was. He drove me all over the campus in a golf cart and led me to places I was supposed to be both last night [Friday] and today [Saturday]."
All in our little group stayed through most of the program, including the address by the speaker (left photo), Dr. Christopher Howard, President of Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh and former president of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. A Rhodes Scholar and Bronze Star recipient for his military service in Afghanistan, Dr. Howard delivered an animated speech with this message: "Be yourself. Be accountable. Be courageous." By the time the 1,300 degree recipients began moving toward the stage to receive their diplomas one by one (right photo), many of us (this author included) quietly returned to Luter to remove our academic regalia and leave--but with many warm memories of the 2016 Golden Reunion of the CNC Class of 1966.

This episode asks: what's the difference between designing for accessibility versus designing inclusively? To find the answers we look at everything from WordPress blogging software to the Xbox controller. We even start with some early lessons from, of all places, TV's "French Chef," Julia Child! Bon appetit!
A short but special bonus episode of Wireframe, recorded at Adobe MAX in Los Angeles, a.k.a. the world's largest creativity conference, which this year brought together more than 14,000 creative pros—designers, photographers, videographers, illustrators, artists, and more—all in one place. So it was an ideal opportunity to ask them: What does good design mean to you?


New Delhi -In another shocking case in New Delhi, a 35-year-old woman has alleged that she was sexually assaulted by three men in a moving car on Sunday post midnight, officials said on Monday. According to Indian media reports, the victim had hitched a ride with her sister to Delhi from Gurgaon when the incident took place.
Both the sisters are employees of a shopping mall in the Delhi suburb. The victim's sister got off at Okhla and while on her way to Sangam Vihar, the men in the car sexually assaulted her. A case has been registered against three persons.

        "Talk": 200
      }, {
        "Agent": "amy",
        "Talk": 400
      }, {
        "Agent": "GARY",
        "Talk": 900
      }, {
        "Agent": "kmahoney",
        "Talk": 3
      }
    }
  ]
}]

A: I did it this way and it does most of what I need without 'messy' sql.
  // all agents in set
  List<object> ops = m.GroupBy(x => x.Agent).ToList()
  .ConvertAll(c => (object)new { Agent = c.First().Agent});
  list = m
  .GroupBy(x => string.Format(@"""DateText"": {0}", x.DateText ))
  .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.ToList()
  .ConvertdictionaryAll(c => (object)new { Datetext = c.DateText,  Agent
  c.Agent, Talk = c.Talk  })));
  list.Add("keys", ops);

The keys for the Agents are in the last key of the dictionary.


What is the role of Ethereum Virtual Machine?
Ethereum Virtual Machine is designed to serve as a runtime environment for smart contracts based on Ethereum. As most cryptocurrency enthusiasts are well aware of, smart contracts are very popular these days. This technology can be used to automatically conduct transactions or perform specific actions on the Ethereum blockchain. Many people predict smart contracts will help revolutionize finance and other industries over the coming years.
Alright. Before going into Ethereum Virtual Machine, I'm going to divert your attention to Ethereum just for the sake of reference and to understand this special and unique type of Altcoin.
Ethereum is an open Blockchain platform which allows anyone, yes anyone who wants to bring a new flavour to the Ethereum Blockchain Network. Here people can use Decentralized applications that are specialised to run on the Blockchain technology. Yes, it is extremely cool and an innovative way to get people to invest their time and resource into the network. Ethereum is currently the 2nd best Cryptocurrency in the world. Like any other Cryptocurrency, no one can the central control neither anyone owns Ethereum. It is Decentralized and as it is open source, people can build a much-decentralized application from around the world in the network. On the other hand, it is extremely flexible and adaptable and has got an upper hand to the Bitcoin. It is the safest platform where people can easily create new applications on the Ethereum platform and anyone who gets into Ethereum Blockchain can have an access to these applications.
So what really is the Ethereum Virtual Machine in Ethereum?
Ethereum is a programmable Blockchain network that doesn't have a leash on its users, meaning, it is completely opposite from the Bitcoin Blockchain Network where users have a set of pre-defined operation. With and In Ethereum, users can create the operations of their own and of any complexity (limitless possibilities). Ethereum is not limited to Cryptocurrency, it serves as a platform that is designed for several and different types of Decentralized Blockchain applications.
The process makes computation on Ethereum a lot slower than the user. It is often expected that the massive parallelisation of computing across the entire Ethereum network will make computation faster but in reality, it is quite the opposite. Ethereum isn't just slower than on a "traditional computer" but also it is quite expensive. In order to maintain consensus across the Blockchain, Ethereum node run the EVM. On the other hand, the Decentralized consensus gives Ethereum an edge over fault tolerance, ensuring zero downtime and even makes the obvious data stored on the Blockchain unchangeable and along with this it also makes Ethereum censorship-resistant.
The Ethereum Virtual Machine is entirely focused on to provide security and execute untrustworthy code by computers all over the world. The EVM, on the other hand, ensures programs do not have access to each other's state and this furthermore ensures that communication can be established even if there aren't any potential interference.
You can search for Smart Contract in Askrypto and get an insight about what Smart Contract is.
The Ethereum Virtual Machine has been specifically designed to serve as a runtime environment for the Ethereum based Smart Contracts. Smart Contract has been a popular term among the Cryptocurrency enthusiasts ever since it came into being. One of the most curious stuff about Ethereum Virtual Machine which was a topic in the Yellow Paper which was drafted by Dr Gavin Wood says that the Ethereum project was built with an intention of introducing a sandbox type of an environment to sharpen the smart contract technology in the future. The entire thing is a clever and intuitive piece of design and coding and this might certainly help to elevate Ethereum and the smart contracts to the whole new level.
You'd be curious to know that the Ethereum Virtual Machine is entirely secluded as well as cut off from the rest of the main network to act as a perfect testing environment. So even if EVM is the heart and soul of the Ethereum it has its own job to conduct in the network itself. This is the reason why anyone who is willing to create a smart contract can make it happen using the EVM without anyone altering and affecting the main operations of the Ethereum Blockchain. This makes EVM a "learning environment" to build better, bigger and robust smart contracts.
Ethereum Virtual Machine has a bigger role to play in the future.

Generations of Aviators
First Officer Mike DeWalt first knew he wanted to be a pilot at the age of eight. His father, a 26-year career naval aviator, consciously took the time to bring his four sons onboard his aircraft when he could, instilling a love of aviation in his kids from the very beginning. Thanks to those inspirational trips to the flight deck, DeWalt and two of his brothers followed closely in their father's footsteps, taking on long naval careers before eventually taking a leap of their own into commercial aviation.
