La sonata per pianoforte n. 2 in fa maggiore, K. 280, fu scritta da Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart alla fine del 1774 e appartiene ad un ciclo di sei sonate per pianoforte (dalla K. 279 alla K. 284).

Il 2 novembre 1777 il compositore la eseguì nella casa di Christian Cannabich a Mannheim.

Caratteristiche
L'opera appare fortemente influenzata dalla Sonata per pianoforte in fa maggiore di Haydn, che era stata pubblicata nel 1773 e che Mozart potrebbe aver conosciuto durante il suo soggiorno a Vienna fra il luglio e il settembre di tale anno. Come la sonata di Haydn, anche quella di Mozart dispone di un movimento centrale in fa minore in ritmo di siciliana indicato come Adagio.

Il primo movimento, Allegro assai, in forma sonata, è alquanto virtuosistico e presenta un tema principale composto da vari motivi contrastanti; il secondo tema è in terzine ed è caratterizzato da alcuni cromatismi.

Il secondo movimento, Adagio, è particolarmente espressivo e precorre le più importanti composizioni in tonalità minore del Mozart maturo nelle sue espressioni di dolore e di angoscia.

Il movimento finale, Presto, in contrasto con la cupezza del precedente Adagio, ha carattere sereno e scherzoso.

The Greatest Show On Earth (1952) is an American drama movie starring Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde and Charlton Heston. It took place in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The film, produced, directed and narrated by Cecil B. DeMille, won the Academy Award for Best Picture. The storyline is supported by lavish production values, actual circus acts, documentary and behind-the-rings looks at the massive logistics effort which made big top circuses possible. The Greatest Show On Earth is also a book published in 2009 and written by British biologist Richard Dawkins. It explains the evidence for biological evolution. However, probably few people still know that The Greatest Show On Earth was also a rock band in the early seventies.
In 1970 this British rock band recorded two albums for the famous Harvest label: Horizons and The Going's Easy. They became well-known for their European hit Real Cool World. The band had been conceived by Harvest in an attempt to create a horn-based rock combo as a counterpart for American bands like Blood Sweat & Tears and Chicago. The band was also notable for its album covers designed by the artist group Hipgnosis. Recently both albums got a great remastered re-release by Esoteric Recordings with the usual liner notes and historic pictures.
Horizons and The Going's Easy contain fantastic music that probably will be enjoyed by many lovers of progressive rock. Since the band was meant to be a counterpart for the aforementioned American bands, the label requested the octet to find a new vocalist. This became the versatile Colin Horton-Jennings, who began to compose original songs, which would allow them to add new material to their live set. This was needed in order to replace the R&B covers that had previously dominated the live sets. Next to Colin Horton-Jennings (guitar, flute, bongos, vocals),The Greatest Show On Earth featured the talents of Dick Hanson (percussion, trumpet, flugelhorn), Ron Prudence (conga, drums), Garth Watt-Roy (guitar, vocals), Norman Watt-Roy (bass, vocals) and Mick Deacon (organ, piano, harpsichord, vocals).
Their debut album Horizons includes the single Real Cool World, but it has much more to offer. Beside the influences from Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago the music tends toward soul and rock, although the progressive rock elements are clearly present and made me think of bands like King Crimson and Alquin. Listen for example to the long fourteen-minute title track and you know what I mean. There's strong playing on the organ and the flute, and the many great guitar solos show that they cherished this musical style.
This can also be said about The Going's Easy, their second and final album. The light and airy Magic Woman Touch became later a hit single by The Hollies. Storytimes & Nursery Rhymes features some of the band's best vocal performances and can be considered to be the highlight on this album on which once again strong progressive rock elements come to the surface. The re-release of the second album contains two bonus tracks: Mountain Song and the single version of Magic Woman Touch. However, these tracks have no added value to the original album. Unfortunately this album had little to non-consumer or industry interest which resulted in the split up of the band in 1971. After the decease some of the musicians started to work with acts like Vinegar Joe, Graham Parker, The Darts, Suzi Quatro, Shaking Stevens and The Marmalade.
When you listen to the music of The Greatest Show On Earth nowadays, you'll discover that the band consisted of skilful musicians who could play all kinds of musical styles. Sure the music sounds most of the time rather outdated, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy Horizons and The Going's Easy. I certainly did because of the many prog rock influences that made me think of King Crimson and Alquin.

Good afternoon, blog readers and dress fans alike! How is everyone doing today? I couldn't be better, I have a new dress to tell you all about today. It has been way too long since I have had something up here resembling an outfit post, and I have to say, I felt my blog was missing out. That is all about to change because here is the newest to my ever-growing me-made dress collection, the Springtime in Paris dress.
Well, I found new fabric while making an unscheduled, out of town Wal-Mart trip a couple of Sundays ago, and couldn't wait to turn it into something beautiful. I just needed coffee creamer that day, and since it wasn't my regular Wal-Mart, I thought to take a detour through the fabric section. I saw this material and snatched it up right away. I was even prepared to wait as long as needed for someone to show up and cut it. (They never show up to cut material in a timely manner!) I was very surprised by the quality. It has some thickness to it, so even a white slip would be sufficient to wear underneath. It was part of what seemed like a new collection that the store had recently stocked, and all of it seemed like sturdy cotton material. I had to refrain from buying a little from each bolt. Wal-Mart, it has been awhile since you have made me a happy shopper.
I went with my Marilyn pattern and used the bodice material that I had planned for one of my other spring makes. I should still have enough for that one when I get to it. The red band was leftover from my black, white, and red quilt stash. I didn't add the side skirt panels because the way they were to be cut on the grain was not going to leave me enough bottom width, so I pulled out the skirt portion from my Monique dress pattern and used it instead. By doing this, I have just about a yard left of the material for something else. I am thinking maybe a fabric wallet or lined tote bag would work for the leftovers.
This particular pattern doesn't take me long to make at all. I cut it out Saturday night. Made the bodice Sunday evening, and finished the rest Monday morning. I ironed it at my friends house because she has a nicer iron than I do. I finally realized, it's not a lack of ironing skills that I have, just a cheap iron that won't get hot enough to press my material well enough. I have since added an iron to my shopping list.
In the future, I am gonna retrace this pattern out in a smaller size. I meant to do it the time before last, but just haven't gotten around to it. I don't know, but tracing patterns might just be as tedious to me as grading papers.
That's all I have to say about this one. But on the subject of making dresses, it is almost Me Made May, guys. I have been thinking about how many me mades I want to say I will wear this time around. My only concern is that I will undoubtedly wear the same things that I have in years past. But, I do have a lot of dresses that haven't been worn for it… More about that to come. For now, have a great weekend everyone!
I wish we had cute fabric like that at my Wal Mart! Adorable dress and thanks for stopping by and linking up!
Really cute outfit! I am visiting from Sew & Tell Saturdays.
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by and saying hi.
Pretty Dress! What a find from Wal-Mart! I love this dress style!
I saw that fabric at Wal-mart and love it! I was trying to figure out what I could make with it. I'm thinking maybe an apron. I love your dress!
I am visiting from Creative Mondays! I really love your dress! You are so lucky to be able to buy material at a supermarket, our equivalent, Asda, doesn't do that The material is soooo nice.
I LOVE this dress! I found your blog on God's Growing Garden today! I love modest and cute outfits. You do it well 🙂 You may like this: http://www.deeprootsathome.com/a-portrait-of-feminine-dress-from-church-to-wedding/ It is full of dresses~!
Thank you for stopping by and saying hi. I can't wait to check the link out, sounds like my kind of site. Thanks!
I adore these wonderful sketches of your skirt. Congrats!
Thanks! I am happy to hear that you like them.
I'm sorry for my delayed response. Thanks to you for sharing.
I love this dress, the print is so pretty!
I loved the print the second I saw it! If it wasn't going to be a dress, it had to be something that I would be able to look at from time to time.

Sir Richard Branson: Male Role Model
Role Model Traits
It is his extraordinary abilities as an entrepreneur, adventurer, futurist, environmentalist, and philanthropist that makes mega-billionaire Sir Richard Branson such a great role model for modern men.
Entrepreneur – Founder of the Virgin Group which is made up of more than 400 companies in the music, communication, beverage, and transportation industries.
Adventurer – Branson has traveled the world by air and sea on some of the most exciting, record-breaking adventures ever documented. He is one man who is living his life to the fullest and taking risks that lead to fulfilling experiences and achievements.
Environmentalist – Branson's efforts to help rid the world of the "greenhouse effect" has led him to be one of the most respected environmental leaders who is working to keep our planet clean and safe for generations to come.
Humanitarian – He has campaigned for the end of nuclear weapons worldwide, worked to end the genocide in Darfur, built schools in Africa and has helped tens of thousands of people worldwide through his efforts, donations and fundraising.
Sir Richard Branson was born into an aristocratic family and he could have had a very comfortable, affluent life with little effort on his part.
However, despite being born with dyslexia (a manageable but incurable learning disability), at a young age, his entrepreneurial spirit and "street smarts" allowed him to build a mega-billion dollar empire with a brand name that is recognized throughout most of the world.
His love of adventure has taken him on record-breaking journeys and his humanitarian passion has led him to strive to make the world a better place for all.
While his life has not been without controversy or setbacks, his philosophy to do whatever is necessary to follow his dreams can easily be recognized by the title of one of his best-selling books – "Screw It, Let's do It. Lessons in Life."
How often have you let naysayers, roadblocks, setbacks or a lack of confidence stop you from realizing your personal goals? If you have, then you should look to Richard Branson as a role model for the determination to persevere and succeed and see your dreams turn into reality. He is a interesting type of alpha male.
He uses alpha psychology and purpose to push through and "beat" other men. Contrary to the mistaken belief of many modern men, you don't have to be aggressive or overly arrogant to be an effective alpha male.
Barely into his twenties, Branson made deals with American record manufacturers to purchase some of their excess stock of music albums which he then sold out of the trunk (boot) of his car to individuals and then to retailers in England before starting a mail order discount record business.
He then opened his first Virgin record store in London. (The name "Virgin" was at the suggestion of an employee because they were all so young and new to the business.)
Although he was initially arrested for not paying his export tax on the discounted records, with his family's help, he paid off his tax debt and then set about lobbying to make changes to restrictions which had previously governed how low record sales could be discounted.
Selling highly discounted records turned his Virgin record store into a huge success which ultimately led to his opening thousands of other stores around the world.
With his growing fortune, he bought a country estate and built a recording studio where he discovered unconventional (but ultimately popular) musicians and groups that other labels wouldn't sign such as Culture Club, Mike Oldfield, and the Sex Pistols.
His diverse interests led him to start other businesses including Virgin Atlantic Airways, Virgin Cola, Virgin Vodka, Virgin Express, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Communications, Virgin Trains and Virgin Galactic among his many other enterprises.
While not all of his business ventures have been successful and he's often had to use his holdings in his more prosperous companies to support those that were floundering, he still has seen commercial triumph much more often than failure.
Branson's business interests were not the only type of conquests that he had sought. Although some adventures did not have an initially positive outcome, he persisted and has crossed the Atlantic by sailboat, floated above and around the world by hot air balloon and crossed the English Channel in an amphibious vehicle – all in record-breaking feats.
He also has engaged in a far range of other exciting escapades that most men would not dare.
No one is saying you should or even need to be reckless in your life to live each day to its fullest.
It is essential, however, that you sometimes take risks that might bring you benefit and attempt something exciting (even if it's just walking up to a beautiful woman and having a chat with her for a few minutes) to feel a rush of adrenaline and reap the rewards of knowing that you can do whatever you want to achieve in this life.
Often provocative in his approach but always inspiring and exciting to watch, Sir Richard Branson is willing to constantly strive to be better and go after all that he wants. He is quoted as saying, "My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them…from the perspective of wanting to live life to the fullest."
What huge challenges do you set for yourself? How do you strive to live the fullest life that you can and have the world become a better place just because you're living in it?
His Achievements
Worked with Nelson Mandela to found and fund the Group "The Elders" which includes leaders such as Desmund Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Mary Robinson and others whose purpose is to help solve world problems.
Founded and raises funds for Virgin Unite, his non-profit foundation, which provides education and start-up costs for small business owners in third world countries as well as provides scholarships, funds research, educates and helps to create a better world.
Hosted a gathering of world and business leaders including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales and Larry Page of Google to discuss ways to help stop global warming along and other environmental issues.
Was named in "Time Magazine's" list of the Top 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Was awarded the United Nations Correspondents Association Citizen of the World Awards for his environmental and humanitarian efforts.
He was awarded the Knight bachelor (which gives him the designation of Sir) by the Queen of England for his "services to entrepreneurship."

Quincy Jones: Male Role Model
Question: What Do You Say to a Woman After the Conversation Starter?
Richard branson is such an inpiration, people often think he has had life easy, which is not the case! He is dyslexic and even admitted being arrested. Despite this he used his alphamale traits to build a multi-billion empire. So what am I waiting for?
Dan Bacon

The universe rewards men who go after the deepest purpose in life. If you have an impulse to create something or work on a particular area of your life – do it. Follow the impulse. Don't wait until you've worked everything out or mapped out a giant plan. Just like Branson, you should start then follow through with determination.
Hey Dan Bacon, you should add yourself to the list of Male Role Models!
Dan Bacon used to be hopeless with women. He lacked confidence in himself and couldn't get women to like him. Despite being a good, honest guy, women just weren't interested.
When he created the controversial attraction techniques that he now teaches here at The Modern Man, beautiful women began flooding into his life and wanting to be with him.
Dan has already helped 1,000s of guys to get instant results with women (success stories) and he would love to help you too.
So, if you are sick and tired of not getting results with women and would like to try something new that is absolutely guaranteed to work for you, then get started here.

HomeTURKISH DRAMACan Yaman, the revelation about Francesca Chillemi: " She told me."
Can Yaman, the revelation about Francesca Chillemi: " She told me."
RIRI NANO February 13, 2022
The Turkish actor finally talks about his relationship with colleague Francesca Chillemi and the upcoming fiction. Let's find out what happened.
Can Yaman will be the protagonist of the new fiction "Viola come il mare" which is already making a lot of discussion during the filming. Along with the Turkish actor will be the talented Francesca Chillemi, a Sicilian actress known to the general public as the crazy Azzurra from Che Dio ci Aiuti. In recent months, there has been no lack of gossip about the possible relationship between the two actors, especially after the hot summer in the company of Diletta Leotta.
The rumors turned out to be completely fictitious considering that Chillemi is very much in love with her partner and their beautiful baby girl. The actor spoke to RTL 102.5 about his relationship with his colleague and said, "We get along very well, we have a wonderful relationship on the set. It will be the first time we will see Can acting completely in Italian. By now, the actor is a real star in Italy as well as being loved on social media by his fans.
Can Yaman: "Francesca said that I improved".
During filming on set, peaceful relationships between the actors are essential and on the set of Viola come il mare the good mood is not lacking. Yaman started Italian lessons and confessed, "Francesca told me that I improved a lot with Italian."
Besides being happy about his improvement on set, the Turkish actor also revealed some details about his character. He will play Francesco Demir, a hard-working policeman. This is the first time Can has stepped into this role and he said he was very happy to have been given this opportunity. "Francesco Demir is always very serious but at the same time he often has a ready joke, especially with women," says the actor and adds that he is sure the audience will like him a lot.
In short, on the set of Viola come il mare, the work is going very well and in part this is also due to the excellent relationship between the protagonists. Yaman will certainly have a lot to learn from Francesca Chillemi, who in recent years has amazed audiences with different and hilarious roles that have won everyone over.

Wear this set with an Indian outfit like a saree, lehenga choli or salwar kameez suit.


"Finding one's true purpose for most can be found while they are alive, but in Adam's case, it was death that brought his truth to life"
What's an un-dead fellow to do when he's been stitched together with the remnants of his deceased brethren? Well, one thing he could do is walk the earth until the cows come home or he can find his own destiny among-st the supernatural beings on earth. Fortunately for us, he chooses option number two and provides us with an interesting film to watch during this harsh winter weather.
"I, Frankenstein" is a film about a living being created by man that searches to find the purpose of his existence within a war between good and evil.
Aaron Eckhart stars as Adam/Frankenstein in this film and for what it's worth, he keeps us entertained. Now, this isn't normally the type of film we see him in, but it could possibly be a step in the right direction or at least something to broaden his career. As for his overall acting performance, it's what was expected, as he plays the role of an introverted, soulless capsule of flesh that searches for a higher purpose. Let's just say, before we can stake him as the next action superstar, he'll need to do a few more films in this genre to give an honest account of his abilities.
Now, as far as the plot of the film, it didn't get as deep as some of the older versions of Frankenstein, but it offered an updated stance on Frankenstein's plight. This version to begin with, appears a little more realistic than the ideology of the early 30s. For one, they definitely didn't have CG or the internet back then, so just the technology upgrade alone gives the film a serious face lift. Secondly, Eckhart's smooth, but tattered face is a far cry from the rugged blockhead make-up job that we endured in earlier versions of the film. This one is different, but it nods to it's predecessors.
The movie starts by briefly going into Frankenstein's creation and showing a bit of the tension between him and his creator, before jumping into the 21st century, where demons look like us and function as an organized group of radicals. Bill Nighy stars as Naberius, the head of the demons out to rule the world, while Miranda Otto plays the role of a Gargoyle queen, Leonore, whose here to protect us humans in the unseen battle of good and evil. So where does Frankenstein fit into all this? Well, let's simply state that the fact that he even exists shows both demons and gargoyles that there are somethings that will never be understood, no matter what supernatural gifts one may have.
Now, for the +'s in the film, the CG sequences we're awesome! Most of you, by now have seen the previews for "I Frankenstein and are aware that there are some man-size gargoyles flying around bringing righteous pain to an evil army. This type of visual eye-candy wouldn't have even happened back in the day, due to ancient filming techniques, as well as lack of insight on what attracts fans to an fantasy/action-film.
The supporting cast in the film did an excellent job of keeping the movie flowing, by offering additional action sequences and dialogue when needed, as a movie with just Frankenstein would have been rather drab. All in all this was an entertaining watch with enough action to keep us in our seats for the 92-minute presentation.
So to wrap this up, "I, Frankenstein" is recommended for fans of old school fantasy/horror, but more likely to be appreciated by Eckhart enthusiasts. This film is still in theaters and can be viewed in 2D or 3D, we watched the 3D, but we're sure the 2D would have been just as good.

KUKU.io is a cloud-based marketing solution that helps marketing and advertising agencies to manage their social media marketing operations. Key features include social media posting, analytics and team management tools.
KUKU.io allows users to schedule and edit posts on multiple networks simultaneously by providing them with a built-in content calendar. Marketers can also add hashtags,schedule posts, republish old content and tag users in specific posts. Teams can work in collaboration for editing, publishing and analyzing content together.
KUKU.io's analytics tools help users to track follower growth rate, engagement metrics, page clicks and more. Users can also generate and download activity reports containing dependencies between metrics depicted on charts. Supported social media networks include Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Telegram, VK and OK.
Services are offered on a monthly subscription basis that includes support via email, live chat, FAQs and video call through Skype.
When I realized my business needs a platform to publish at many social media chanels at ones, I did my research. ALL of the competitors looked so unnecessary complicated and stuffed with reports, data and were hard to navigate.
Kuku was the exact oposite of everything else. Everything is where you expect it to be in the menues. You have the amazing option to force some delay of your post, so that it doesn't show across all social medias at 14:00. It will show at this time on Facebook, then 5 minutes later on Twitter and so on.
The feature that I chose this app for is their unique function to publish on Instagram. Something no other competitor offered me, or they did but for double the money.
You have this beautiful calendar that lets you schedule your posts months in the future. And it even suggests best time to publish your content.
The sync with Instagram is sometimes not working correctly forcing you to make your post days earlier than what you planned. It needs some improvement.
KUKU.io does what it says. An extremely friendly and intuitive interface, but with exhaustive functionality. We are using a team plan for several content creators, which are not tech-related at all. And it still works for them like a charm. Post creation is very easy to use, analytics is easy to understand, simple but powerful. Time scheduling is also well thought trough in the team plan. We also grouping our social networks into what they call "channels" and can manage editor's access rights to particular channels separately. Support team is very friendly. Minuses? They don't have Instagram on their list yet (but promised to add it this year, hope they will). We also miss an ability to upload our content-plan from other sources, i.e. via API or CSV-tables), though I'm not sure if any competitors does have such an option. And for the team work it would be nice to have an opportunity to discuss and approve posts before they get in a wild. Probably these are very special needs of ours, cause besides them the tool is just great!
You can schedule posts in advance to save time, this can be done across a range of platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter etc).
Corrupting issue: If you post an article on social media using medium, the preview headline the comes up is corrupted by the KuKu platform. I alerted support of this issue. They were extremely rude and then at the end said 'we are not looking to solve this issue at this time'. I share a lot of industry news across work channels so this really reduced the value of the platform.
The Analytics don't work for LinkedIn and the ones for Twitter are the same as your would get from Twitter Analytics itself. So not much value added.
At wild Fusion, we us kuku.io to manage our business channel. We so much love the the option to select platform and scheduling.
I have started using Kuku.io since it was featured on Product hunt and I am loving it till now. The post scheduling on Multiple social networks including Facebook profile, page, group, LinkedIn page, LinkedIn Profile, Twitter is super easy. The analytics is also very powerful. The monthly subscription is also reasonable as compared to other similar tools. Count me a fan of Kuku. Thank you.
We've been dependent upon this tool and results have been awesome meeting to our requirements. Just go for it.


GeneHunter considers constraints as subgoals when searching for a solution. The Camping Trip example does this by comparing cells D8:D13 (Actual Percent of Diet) with cells C8:C13 (Recommended Percent of Diet). The comparison is listed as a constraint in the list of constraints as follows: $D$8:$D$13=$C$8:$C$13. If the sum of Actual Percent of Diet differs from the sum of Recommended Percent of Diet in a particular solution, GeneHunter attempts to find solutions where the sums are closer to each other. It may take a number of generations before solutions evolve in which the sums are actually close. The same is true for any soft constraint: early solutions may not meet the constraint very well. In fact, for some problems, a soft constraint may never be attained exactly.
In order that the user can have a single measurement of how good the Diet Quality is, we have included a Diet Quality percentage in cell G16. This has nothing to do with the functioning of the GA or the problem; it is just for information only. The Diet Quality percentage is calculated using the least squares method from statistics. The difference between the actual servings minus the recommended servings is computed and then squared for each food group. Squaring the error serves two purposes: it magnifies the larger errors and it offsets the cases where the differences are negative values (the square of a negative number is a positive number).
Taking the square root of values that were previously squared brings the error value back into the range of the original values. This value is subtracted from 1 in order to show the Diet Quality rather than a small diet error value.
You may want to experiment by varying the constraint on the minimum or maximum number of servings or by varying the Recommended Percent of Diet for each food group. Another experiment you can try is to use the Diet Quality percentage as the fitness function, which you will maximize. In this case, there will be no soft constraint, and we are assuming that cost is not a consideration.

Xi Says China Will Maintain 'Firm Grasp' On Hong Kong, Warns Against Separatism
October 20, 2017 RFA 0 Comments
By RFA
China will maintain "a firm grasp" on Hong Kong, and exercise full powers of governance in the former British colony, President Xi Jinping told delegates at the ruling Chinese Communist Party's 19th National Congress in Beijing on Wednesday.
Xi told delegates that Beijing's jurisdiction over the city, and the former Portuguese enclave of Macau, should not be shaken, amid concerns that the "one country, two systems" principle has already been diluted by repeated interventions in Hong Kong.
"We will develop and strengthen the ranks of patriots who love both our country and their regions," he said, adding that "patriots will be playing the principal role" in governing the city.
However, he stopped short of mentioning recent calls for independence in the city, focusing instead on the pro-independence movement in democratic Taiwan, which has never been ruled by his party.
"We will never allow anyone, any organization, or any political party, at any time or in any form, to separate any part of Chinese territory from China," he said.
Taiwan's mainland affairs council called the Communist Party congress' comments "regrettable", saying Beijing wouldn't win over the island's 23 million people" with this approach.
Pan-democratic politicians and rights activists in the Hong Kong, where courts recently sent three student leaders of the 2014 pro-democracy movement to jail, said Xi's comments don't bode well for the promises of "a high degree of autonomy" made to Hong Kong ahead of the 1997 handover.
And a series of high-profile interventions by China's parliament have cast doubts over Beijing's growing political influence in the city, which extended to stripping pro-democracy lawmakers of their seats in the Legislative Council, after their oaths of allegiance were ruled invalid.
High-level interventions
Democratic Party chairman Wu Chi-wai said Xi's words on Hong Kong suggest the central government's use of high-level interventions in the city's political life will only get more frequent in future.
"I think that Beijing is now thinking that it gets to define what 'one country, two systems' means, that it wants to distort the definition as understood by the people of Hong Kong and the international community," Wu told RFA.
"This is very, very dangerous, and it will send Hong Kong into a vicious circle, worsening tensions between Hong Kong and the central government, and giving the [city's] government even less room for maneuver," he said.
The erosion of Hong Kong's traditional freedoms of speech, publication, and judicial independence in recent years and a stalled timetable for full democracy in spite of the 2014 protest has coincided with growing talk of independence, and a renewed backlash from Beijing.
Some 40 percent of young people support the idea, compared with around 70 percent who oppose it across all age groups, according to recent opinion polls.
Wang Guangya, who until recently headed the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of China's cabinet, the State Council, said the idea of independence for Hong Kong is anathema to Beijing.
"The central government and the rest of mainland China are definitely behind Hong Kong and Macau's development … but President Xi made it clear in today's speech that the central government is drawing a red line," Wang said.
"That red line is, don't do anything that harms national sovereignty, security or economic development."
Eroding freedoms
But Regina Ip, who chairs the pro-Beijing New People's Party, said Beijing would be happy to leave the Hong Kong government to manage the issue, however.
"Provided that Hong Kong is able to keep these separatists sentiments at bay and help our young people understand that we are an integral part of the country … I see no reason why the central government will tighten up its policy on Hong Kong," she said.
But Civic Party leader Alvin Yeung dismissed such claims.
"There has been a gradual tightening of control over Hong Kong, whether by the central government or by its liaison office [in Hong Kong]," Yeung said. "So [Xi's] words make me feel that we are unlikely to see any loosening of restrictions in future."
Yeung blamed former chief executive Leung Chun-ying for exacerbating calls for independence during his tenure in the city's top job.
"I think that the person who created the situation should be the one to resolve it," he said. "This issue won't be resolved while the central and the Hong Kong governments …persist in using hardline tactics [to deal with it]."
Under the terms of the 1997 handover, Hong Kong was promised a high degree of autonomy and the maintenance of judicial independence, progress towards universal suffrage and traditional freedoms of speech, publication and association.
Democratic Party lawmaker Helena Wong called on Beijing to clarify what Xi meant by "full powers of governance," saying that the city's mini-constitution, the Basic Law, was designed to allow Hong Kong people to rule the city by themselves.
"According to the Basic Law, we are currently implementing one country, two systems, and Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong," Wong said. "That means that Hong Kong affairs should be managed by our own administration."
"But is there any limit to these 'full powers of governance'? If China interferes with Hong Kong's internal affairs, with its elections, then this is a serious breach of our jurisdiction."
And political affairs commentator Liu Ruishao warned that the space for public freedom of expression in the once-freewheeling city is also rapidly shrinking.
"If Beijing doesn't change its approach, the obstacles will remain, the red line will keep moving, and all the conflicts will still be there."
A recent report by the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China found that "the long-term viability of the 'one country, two systems' model … is increasingly uncertain given central government interference."
The oaths row "was the first time the [National People's Congress] standing committee] had preemptively ruled on a case under consideration by a local court, raising further concerns about Hong Kong's autonomy," the report said.

A combination of a poor tactical approach in the second half from the technical bench, inexperience and costly mistakes cost Zimbabwe's Warriors a very possible victory in their Gabon AFCON 2017 opening game against the Desert Foxes of Algeria, who rallied from behind to force a late 2-2 draw at the Stade de Franceville on Sunday night, 15 January 2017.
The Warriors of Zimbabwe put up a gutsy performance full of life and very attractive football, and against all expectations, outplayed Algeria in the first half, with star forward from CAF Champions 2016 winners Mamelodi Sundowns, leading the Zimbabwean assault on the Desert Foxes.
Zim were the first to force a corner kick in the 2nd minute from an attack involving the brilliant Billiat. From that corner which was well defended by Algeria, Billiat struck a well-timed volley which crashed against the upright to the Algerian keeper Rais Mbholi's left. A slight touch of the ball saved the day for Algeria.
Algeria hit back immediately with CAF Footballer of the year and reigning English PFA Player of the year Riyad Mahrez punishing the Zimbabweans with a curler which beat the badly positioned Tatenda Mukuruva, to take the lead in the 12th minute.
Zim lost Musona to what appears like a groin injury and many expected them to crumble, having lost their talisman. In the absence of suspended key midfielder Marvelous Nakamba, Musona was expected to provide creativity. All expected Zim to crumble, but team effort carried the day for the only representative from Southern Africa. A tactical substitution with Matthew Rusike took many by surprise. With benefit of hindsight, Pasuwa may realise that Evans Rusike might have been a better option. Pasuwa tactically got it wrong a few times throughout the match.
A brilliant movement on the left involving Golden Arrows of South African midfielder Danny Phiri, saw the man they call Deco feed attacking midfielder Kudakwashe Mahachi on the left. Mahachi subtracted his man before firing into the bottom corner for Zimbabwe's equaliser in the 18th minute.
Zimbabwe were in top gear from then on, running rings around the Algerian midfield with Mahachi, Captain Williard Katsande, Danny Phiri and Billiat dominant in that midfield.
Billiat was to force Mbholi into a save in the 22nd minute, before Bhasera was brought down in the box in the 29th minute, and Nyasha Mushekwi brilliantly sent Mbholi to give the Warriors a 2-1 lead.
Billiat was to be denied by Mbholi in the second half again.
Zimbabwe then made a mistake of taking the foot off the pedal and defended too deeply in their half, from where a number of stray passes in the second half gave warning sounds that Algeria were being set up nicely for heart-breaking equaliser.
Still the brilliance of Zimbabwe on the break was evident throughout the second half, but the Warriors were their own worst enemies, siting back and allowing the Algerians to come at them in numbers. Defending has not been this talented Warriors team's strength. The team thrives on putting opponents under pressure given their speed, agility, and the array of skilful players who can beat defences at will with pace such as Musona, Billiat and Mahachi, and Ndoro, when given a chance.
Substitute Cuthbert Malajila should have wrapped up the game for Zimbabwe, but a combination of perhaps selfishness and terrible finishing saw him missing a sitter in the 80th minute! He had Mahachi to simply lay the ball to for a simpler tap in than going for goal. For the umpteenth time, Mbholi came to the Desert Foxes' rescue.
In the 82nd minute, the Warriors sat back and allowed the dangerous Mahrez acres of space which he exploited to punish for Malajila's earlier howler from 25 metres to surprisingly beat Mukuruva. The Zimbabwean keeper Mukuruva should be embarrassed for letting in such a tame strike! Clearly the keeper did not prove to be team's strongest point that he was during the qualifiers. It was 2-2.
Pasuwa, again, made a substitution that many doubted in the 78th minute, replacing Mushekwi with Malajila. Perhaps the coach considered the Bidvest Wits striker's experience and workrate when he loses the ball, with the Warriors chasing the ball at that stage. Was Tendai Ndoro not a better option perhaps? The Orlando Pirates is clearly in great scoring form for his club, and proved he can score goals by netting twice in a friendly against Cameroon on 10 January in Yaound�, a match which ended 1-1, with Ndoro's second goal having been ruled for offside.
The coach will be happy to welcome back Nakamba from suspension in the next fixture against Senegal on the 19th January. And perhaps Musona's injury is not that serious and he might be back. Again, the wisdom of Pasuwa in starting with a player who was clearly unfit begs for answers. The Warriors coach has to do his homework and get his tactics right, especially his choice of players!
Welldone to the gallant fighters! Khama Billiat, birthday boy Katsande, Mahachi, Bhasera, Phiri gave hearty performances, and the entire team must be commended. The technical bench should come to the party in the next match.
Here are the log standings, with Senegal beating Tunisia 2-0 in the second Group B match played at the Stade de Franceville. Senegal lead standings, while Zimbabwe and Algeria share second spot. Tunisia anchor the log.

Supreme Court to Decide Whether Title VII Civil Rights Protections Should Extend to LGBT Employees
by Stephen J. Fleury, Jr., Esq. | May 7, 2019 | Articles, Insights, Labor and Employment, Media
The Supreme Court announced recently that it will hear three cases during its October 2019 Term in an attempt to resolve a split between lower courts as to whether lawsuits alleging employment discrimination based on an employee's sexual orientation or identity are actionable claims under Title VII.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency charged with enforcing Title VII, takes the position that sexual orientation discrimination is prohibited under the law. Several courts across the country have agreed with this position. However, under President Trump, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken the contrary position noting that, as defined under Title VII, "sex" does not refer to sexual orientation or gender identity. Several courts across the country have also agreed with this position, thus establishing the need for the Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue to establish a uniform interpretation.
Doe v. Parx Casino
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which governs appeals of federal court cases in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, has previously held that Title VII does not prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania recently reaffirmed this stance in the matter of Doe v. Parx Casino.
Doe v. Parx Casino involved a female table games dealer, who identifies as a lesbian with a "masculine gender expression," alleged she suffered discrimination and a hostile work environment as a result of derogatory comments by her coworkers. She was fired for alleged "negative interaction with a customer" and subsequently sued the casino claiming that her employment was terminated due to her sexual orientation.
The District Court dismissed her case without prejudice. However, the Court noted that claims of gender stereotyping, rather than sexual orientation discrimination claims, may potentially be actionable under Title VII.
Gender stereotyping is generalizing assigned attributes to men or women and stems from bias or how an individual is perceived. For example, a man who is harassed due to his feminine characteristics could claim gender stereotyping. This differs from discrimination based on sexual orientation, which is when an individual is subjected to harassment based on the gender to which they are attracted.
Impact on Pennsylvania
While sexual orientation discrimination claims are not presently actionable in the federal courts, Pennsylvania employers could still face liability for discrimination under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA). The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC), the state agency charged with enforcing the PHRA, takes the position that discrimination based on an employee's sexual orientation constitutes unlawful sex-based discrimination.
You can expect additional updates from our team as the Supreme Court hears the cases during its October Term and hands down decisions, bringing more clarity to this complex civil rights question. Saxton & Stump attorneys Richard L. Hackman and Stephen J. Fleury Jr. are available to discuss how your business may be impacted by this developing issue and how our Labor and Employment Law Group can help your organization devise an appropriate plan to mitigate workplace harassment and discrimination.

Could Dartmouth-North elect Nova Scotia's first openly gay MLA?
Originally published on GlobalNews.ca. Halifax, NS.
October, 2013.
HALIFAX – The riding with the lowest voter turnout in 2009 could be home to an election night first if Liberal Joanne Bernard wins the Dartmouth-North seat: she would be the first openly gay MLA in the province's history.
Bernard made headlines in September when she received homophobic hate mailtargeting her sexual orientation calling her "gross". In her candidate biography, Bernard mentions that she has been married to her wife Annette for almost five years.
On Sept. 23, Bernard responded to the hate mail by tweeting from her candidate Twitter account:
To the anonymous person who sent me hate mail today because I am openly gay, I will gladly represent your voice as well without prejudice.
— Joanne Bernard (@JoanneDNLIB) September 24, 2013
Bernard may be the first out-of-the-closet gay person in Nova Scotia's general election, but she isn't the first in Canada. New Democrat Svend Robinson became the first openly gay MP when he came out publicly in 1988 while serving in the Canadian House of Commons for Burnaby, B.C. Robinson went on to be elected and re-elected for seven consecutive terms, a span of more than two decades, and was a well known advocate for gay rights.
ABOVE: Joanne Bernard says she expected some backlash, but receiving a blatantly homophobic letter still wasn't easy
Also in British Columbia, Libby Davies because the first openly gay female MP serving in her riding of Vancouver East when she came out to the public in 2001.
Kathleen Wynne became the first openly gay premier when she assumed the office as the 25th Premier of Ontario in February of 2013.
But Nova Scotia is noticeably lacking in its history of openly gay politicians.
"I think we are more conservative thinking here in terms of gay and lesbian issues," Bernard said from her home on Tuesday.
She said candidates should be mentally prepared for reactions of ridicule and hate mail.
But in her case, the community response following the letter was overwhelming.
"I had strangers on my doorstep hug me and say you don't deserve this. Your wife doesn't deserve this. I'm so sorry that happened."
Scott Brison, the Liberal MP for Kings–Hants since 1997, has also received his share of negative backlash due to his sexual orientation. He married his partner Maxime Saint-Pierre in 2007.
In 2009, Brison sent out a Christmas card with a photo of him and his partner and their dog Simba, which was later reported in the Globe and Mail. After an onslaught of hateful and homophobic remarks, the Globe and Mail had to shut down the comments sections on the story.
Bernard said she doesn't believe in hiding who she is, but she was surprised going public with the letter inspired such an outpouring of support.
"If you can't be who you are, that says a lot about your character," she said. "I never planned on being a role model."
