UEFA Europa League matchday one brings together two clubs with close ties in German side Leipzig and Austrian neighbours Salzburg. The former are in the competition's group stage for the first time, having come through three qualifying rounds, while Salzburg, semi-finalists last season, are competing in the group stage for a record eighth time.
• Leipzig are yet to face Austrian opposition in Europe, but Salzburg have a decent record against teams from across the border. Last season they won in Germany for the first time, a 2-1 victory at Dortmund setting up an aggregate success by the same scoreline in the UEFA Europa League round of 16.
• Salzburg claimed back-to-back second-leg successes in Germany away to Eintracht Frankfurt and Karlsruhe en route to the 1993/94 UEFA Cup final, winning a penalty shoot-out in the quarter-final against the former after a 1-0 defeat and eliminating the latter on away goals after a 1-1 draw.
• Leipzig finished sixth in the 2017/18 Bundesliga to make it two European qualifications in a row, their debut continental campaign having ended in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals – eliminated by Marseille – after they finished third in their UEFA Champions League group.
• Having defeated Häcken of Sweden and Romania's Universitatea Craiova in the first two qualifying rounds this season, Leipzig needed a last-gasp penalty from Emil Forsberg to win their play-off 3-2 on aggregate against Ukrainian club Zorya Luhansk.
• That Zorya victory prolonged Leipzig's winning run at home in Europe to five matches, having been victorious in just one of their first four (D1 L2).
Top ten goals of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League season
• Champions of Austria for the fifth year running in 2017/18, Salzburg entered this season's UEFA Champions League in the third qualifying round, but their annual summer quest to reach the group stage ended in another near-miss as they surrendered a two-goal lead to lose out on away goals to Crvena zvezda in the play-offs (0-0 away, 2-2 home).
• Last season Salzburg enjoyed the most successful of their seven seasons in the UEFA Europa League proper, winning their group then eliminating Real Sociedad, Dortmund and Lazio before losing after extra time in the semi-final to Marseille.
• Until they went down 4-2 away to Lazio in the first leg of that 2017/18 quarter-final, Salzburg had gone 19 European games without defeat, ten of those on their travels (W5 D5). They have not conceded in their two away fixtures this term (W1 D1).
Links and trivia
• Salzburg coach Marco Rose was born in Leipzig and played professionally in Germany. His assistant Alexander Zickler is also German and was capped 12 times by the national team, playing for Dynamo Dresden and Bayern München.
• Current Leipzig players Péter Gulácsi, Dayot Upamecano, Stefan Ilsanker, Kevin Kampl, Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer have all previously played for Salzburg, while Smail Prevljak joined Salzburg from the German club in 2014. Leipzig coach Ralf Rangnick also worked for Salzburg as director of sport.
• Salzburg's André Ramalho (Leverkusen), Marin Pongračić (1860 München), Zlatko Junuzović (Werder Bremen) and Reinhold Yabo (Köln, Aachen, Karlsruhe, Bielefeld) have all played in Germany.
• Ilsanker and Sabitzer were selected alongside four Salzburg players – Cican Stankovic, Stefan Lainer, Andreas Ulmer and Xaver Schlager – in the latest Austrian national squad.
• Ralf Rangnick returned as RB Leipzig coach in the summer of 2018, having held the position in 2015/16 when he led the club into the Bundesliga. He has been the club's sporting director since 2012, his appointment having come after a premature departure from Schalke, where he was working for the second time following a highly successful sojourn at Hoffenheim during which he secured back-to-back promotions. He is set to be replaced as Leipzig coach by current Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann in 2019.
• Previously Salzburg's youth team boss, Marco Rose stepped up to the senior helm after Óscar García left in June 2017, having led the club to victory in the 2016/17 UEFA Youth League. A defender with home-town club Leipzig, Hannover and Mainz, he has been on Salzburg's coaching staff since 2013 and oversaw the club's fifth successive Austrian Bundesliga title as well as a run to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals during his debut campaign in the top job.

Biografie

Vladimir Voronin (având la naștere numele de "Bujeniță") s-a născut la 25 mai 1941 în satul Corjova din stânga Nistrului, aflat pe atunci în RSS Moldovenească. Mama sa, Palagheia Sârbu, era fiica lui Isidor Sârbu, refugiat în România din calea forțelor sovietice. Tatăl său, Nicolae Bujeniță, la fel de etnie român, a murit la începutul celui de-al doilea război mondial. Vladimir Voronin a fost crescut și educat de tatăl vitreg, tot cu numele Nicolae, care era un susținător al comunismului și care era întărit în funcția de colectivizare de către forțele comuniste raionale.

În anul 1961 a absolvit școala profesională cooperatistă din Chișinău și a început să lucreze în industria panificației. A fost membru al PCUS. Până în anul 1966 a fost șef al brutăriei din satul Criuleni. Între anii 1966-1971 a lucrat în funcția de director al Fabricii de Pâine din Dubăsari numit de Dumitru Ciutac.

În anul 1971 a absolvit Institutul Unional pentru Industria Alimentară. Ulterior va mai absolvi Academia de Științe Sociale de pe lângă Comitetul Central al Partidului Comunist al Uniunii Sovietice (1983) și apoi Academia Ministerului Afacerilor Interne al URSS (1991).

În următorii zece ani a activat în organele administrative de stat: comitetele executive raionale Dubăsari și Ungheni, Comitetul Executiv Orășenesc Ungheni. Din anul 1983 și până în anul 1985 ocupă funcțiile de inspector, șef adjunct al Secției organizare a CC al Partidului Comunist din Moldova. În anul 1985 este numit în funcție de șef de secție în Consiliul de Miniștri al RSSM.

Între anii 1985 și 1989 a lucrat în calitate de prim-secretar al Comitetului Orășenesc Tighina al Partidului Comunist din Moldova. În perioada 1989-1990 a ocupat funcția de ministru al afacerilor interne al Republicii Sovietice Socialiste Moldovenești, având gradul de general-maior de miliție.

Vladimir Voronin este unul dintre partizanii ideii comuniste. Membru PCUS. În anul 1993 devine copreședinte al Comitetului organizatoric al Partidului Comuniștilor din Republica Moldova. În anul 1994 este ales prim-secretar al Comitetului Central al Partidului Comuniștilor din Republica Moldova. La alegerile pentru funcția de Președinte al Republicii Moldova din anul 1996 a candidat la funcția de Președinte al Republicii Moldova.

A fost ales deputat în Sovietul Suprem al RSSM în legislaturile a X-a și a XI-a. În martie 1998 a fost ales deputat în Parlamentul Republicii Moldova de legislatura a XIV-a, membru al Biroului permanent al Parlamentului, președinte al Fracțiunii parlamentare a Partidului Comuniștilor din Republica Moldova. În perioada 22 iunie 1998 - 23 aprilie 2001, a fost membru în delegația Republicii Moldova la Adunarea Parlamentară a Consiliului Europei. În februarie 2001 a fost ales deputat în Parlamentul Republicii Moldova de legislatura a XV-a.

La data de 4 aprilie 2001 a fost ales Președinte al Republicii Moldova.

Vladimir Voronin a fost reales, la 4 aprilie 2005, în funcția de președinte al Republicii Moldova cu 75 voturi ale deputaților PCRM, PPCD, PDM și PSL. Două voturi au fost anulate, iar un singur vot a fost acordat academicianului Gheorghe Duca.

Începând cu 2003, Vladimir Voronin a afirmat în repetate rânduri că prioritatea esențială a politicii externe a Moldovei este procesul de integrare europeană, scopul esențial care trebuie atins fiind aderarea la Uniunea Europeană. În realitate, prin măsurile pe care le-a promovat, a compromis relațiile Republicii Moldova atât cu Uniunea Europeană, cu România ca țară membră a UE, dar și cu Rusia.

La data de 9 aprilie 2009 mandatul i-a expirat. La 12 mai 2009 a fost ales președinte al Parlamentului Republicii Moldova, cu votul a celor 60 de deputați PCRM. În același timp, Vladimir Voronin cumulează și postul de președinte în exercițiu al R. Moldova până la 7 iunie. Dacă până la această dată nu se va reuși alegerea președintelui, fiind necesare 61 de voturi, se vor anunța alegeri anticipate pentru toamnă. Opoziția democratică deține 41 de mandate - PL-15, PLDM-15, AMN-11 - liderii acestora, Mihai Ghimpu, Vlad Filat și respectiv Serafim Urechean au declarat de numeroase ori că nu vor vota un președinte propus de comuniști nici chiar dacă acesta ar "ar avea accent dâmbovițean" (declarația îi aparține lui Vlad Filat și face aluzie la Marian Lupu, fostul președinte la Parlamentului între 2005 și 2009).

Vladimir Voronin este căsătorit și are doi copii. Soția sa, Taisia Mihailovna, care este de origine ucraineană, este casnică. Fiul, Oleg, este președintele băncii FinComBank. Fiica, Valentina, este medic – terapeut, și lucrează la Spitalul Clinic Republican "Timofei Moșneaga" din Chișinău.

Voronin despre protestele de la 7 aprilie 2009:

Într-o investigație din 2009, ziarul "Timpul" scrie că în cei peste opt ani de președinție, Vladimir Voronin a acordat peste 2000 de distincții de stat, toate mergând către apropiații săi din electoratul PCRM ori către funcționarii oportuniști. Câteva zeci de comuniști și simpatizanți ai regimului au fost decorați, pe durata celor două mandate, de două sau chiar trei ori. În ajunul Zilei Independenței din 2009, dar și a plecării lui Voronin de la Președinție, acesta a mai acordat un număr de 42 de distincții celor care l-au servit.

Controverse
Pe data de 18 februarie 2012, la o manifestație organizată de PCRM, Vladimir Voronin, în fața a mii de oameni, a făcut o afirmație despre John Onoje, — care protesta împotriva Partidului Comuniștilor, aflându-se în partea opusă de drum — pentru care a fost acuzat de rasism: Acest fapt a fost adus în atenție de către Amnesty International Moldova, care a caracterizat acest fapt drept o discriminare rasială, de lezare a demnității umane.

Disney sought to ease tensions with the city of Anaheim last week by agreeing to give back a hotel subsidy worth $267 million over 20 years. But the conciliatory gesture could also save Disney many times that amount by exempting it from a voter-mandated wage hike.
Disneyland benefited from two such policies. The first is the $267 million discount on hotel taxes for a new 700-room luxury hotel slated for Downtown Disney. The amount of the subsidy represents a 70% rebate on the tax over 20 years. The second rebate is a city policy that would exempt Disneyland from any "entertainment tax" on theme park tickets that the city might choose to impose.
In a letter to the city on Aug. 21, Disneyland Resort president Josh D'Amaro asked the city to cancel both rebates. The Anaheim City Council complied on Tuesday night, voting 7-0 to terminate the agreements. The city has not weighed in on whether ending those subsidies will exempt Disneyland from the wage initiative, and is not expected to clarify the issue before voters go to the polls on Nov. 6.
The company also benefits from a 1996 deal under which Anaheim agreed to construct a $100 million parking garage for the Disney theme parks. Disney leases the garage from the city for $1 a year, and collects all of the parking revenue. But it does not appear that the arrangement qualifies as a "tax rebate" under the minimum wage initiative.
Subsidies have become a source of conflict with the city, as a new council majority has been critical of the agreements. The city recently told Disney that a change in the location of the planned luxury hotel would require a reauthorization of the tax rebate, which seemed in doubt.
Disney declined to say whether it believes that disclaiming the subsidies will exempt it from the wage initiative, and referred that question to the city.
"These tax incentive policies, which are successfully and widely used across the country to stimulate economic growth and development, unfortunately became counterproductive in Anaheim, prompting our decision to step away from them," the company said in a statement.
If Disney is exempt from the initiative, it could save more than $100 million a year, according to a rough analysis by Daniel Flaming, president of the Economic Roundtable. That benefit would dwarf the $13.4 million a year that Disney would have saved had it accepted the hotel tax rebate. The city has not conducted its own economic study on the ballot initiative, and Disney declined to comment on the economic effects.
Flaming co-authored a report in February, commissioned by the Coalition of Resort Labor Unions, that found the median Disneyland worker made just $11.15 per hour in 2017. The report raised alarms about the difficulties Disneyland workers face in affording basic necessities. Disneyland has challenged the report's methodology and conclusions.
About 30,000 people work at the theme parks and the three Disney hotels. The company reached a deal in July with 9,700 of its workers to increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour starting in January, and to $15.50 in June 2020. The company says it has made a similar offer to Unite Here Local 11, which represents another 2,700 workers. About 7,000 non-union workers will see wages increase to $15.75 on Dec. 30.
Ada Briceno, co-president of Local 11, said that 10,000 workers — including cooks, dishwashers and room attendants — have yet to reach an agreement and are still making close to the state's $11 minimum wage.
The union has also not reached a determination on whether it believes Disneyland will be exempt from the wage initiative. If it is exempt, that would negate almost all of the initiative's effect. It appears that the only other employers that would be compelled to pay the increase are a pair of nearby hotels now under construction, which have also been granted tax rebates.
"As the council and the union continue to drag their brand through the mud, they may decide it's not worth the investment," he said.


does anyone know if there's any traditions of the younger dryas impact? it's fairly recent but at the same time not sure what effects if any would be felt this far down.
Traditions of the Yuin people from the Shoalhaven region, near Nowra, to the south of Sydney, New South Wales, which describes an impacting meteor shower and airburst. According to the story the sky heaved and many stars fell to the Earth, flashing in the sky. A large reddish mass burst in the air, which made a deafening roar as debris was scattered across the region, and burnt holes were left in the ground.
I grew up here with lots of local indigenous kids and I've never heard this particular story, but maybe that's because it's initiated information.
I did some research on this myself a few years ago but wasn't able to find a lot..

The end of the year brings a final look back on the 2021-22 legislative session, when Senate Republicans led the effort to transition Pennsylvania from COVID-19 pandemic response to helping residents and employers get back to normal, productive lives.
On the economic front, Senate-passed budgets not only shielded Pennsylvanians from tax increases, they cut the Corporate Net Income Tax to attract employers to Pennsylvania, modernized expense deductions allowing small business owners more flexibility and tax planning opportunities, and provided tax incentives for small businesses to grow and invest in Pennsylvania.
Recognizing that economic prosperity is threatened in unsafe communities, we held public hearings over the summer of 2022 examining rising crime rates and hearing from law enforcement officers on ways to restore order.
Our schools were greatly impacted by the pandemic and lengthy closures, and some of the more important education measures we passed were those that got students back into the classroom after the pandemic, expanded educational opportunity and better prepared students for success. Read more of the 2021-22 recap here.
It's the duty of legislators to stand between Pennsylvania families and an overreaching, overtaxing executive branch. I will proudly take up that responsibility in the new session and offer our fellow citizens an alternative vision of freedom and prosperity.
I was pleased to join Boy Scout Troop 99 in Manheim Township earlier this month to celebrate the advancement of Jack Kline and Zach Fox to the rank of Eagle Scout.
To earn the designation of Eagle Scout, Jack coordinated a bone marrow registry campaign. He also served as patrol leader for his troop.
Zach constructed 10 birdhouses and installed them in Landis Woods in Manheim Township. He also served his troop as quartermaster and assistant senior patrol leader.
Congratulations and job well done to both of these young men! They should be proud of the work they've done to help others, and I hope they are inspired to continue that altruism throughout their lives.
On Christmas Eve, Catherine Emberger celebrated the momentous occasion of her 100th birthday. She worked at a machine shop during World War II and later served as a homemaker. After her children were grown, she worked at a flower shop near Downingtown before retiring. She also volunteered her time and talents with the Ephrata Public Library.
Mrs. Emberger was married to John Emberger for 56 years before his passing. She is the proud mother of three children and has been blessed with seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry has published an updated Unemployment Compensation Handbook, a guide to unemployment benefits.
Unemployment Compensation is a program designed to provide temporary income between jobs to workers who lost their job through no fault of their own: for example, due to a layoff, plant closure or lack of available work.
The handbook was designed to be easier to understand than previous versions and includes links to additional information on the Labor and Industry Department website.
You can help ensure Pennsylvania receives an accurate level of federal funding for broadband deployment.
Check out your address on the Federal Communications Commission broadband access map to see if the local internet access information is correct. The map shows all U.S. locations where fixed broadband service is or can be installed. Pennsylvania's federal funding for broadband deployment depends on map accuracy.
Pennsylvanians should submit challenges by Jan. 13, 2023. There are two ways to submit a challenge: by a single location, or in bulk. The location challenge can be completed by individual consumers utilizing the map itself. Bulk challengers will be required to use the Broadband Data Collection platform to submit information to the FCC.
Additional information about the Consumer Challenge Process can be found here, and additional information on the Bulk Challenge Process can be found here. A consumer may also challenge mobile data coverage through the FCC Speed Test App, a free application that can be downloaded from an Apple or Google Play Store.
The 2022-23 Veterans' Trust Fund (VTF) is accepting grant applications for programs and services benefiting Pennsylvania veterans.
The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) will award VTF grants to nonprofit organizations, veteran service organizations and county directors of veterans affairs across the state. Grant applications must be received no later than 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023.

Los Angeles Web Design rebuilt a website, including the logo and theme. They provided design, development, third-party integration, and SEO services and improved the backend to allow for easier editing.
The website alone as doubled business revenue since its launch. Los Angeles Web Design communicated in clear layman's terms and explained the development process in simple, easy-to-understand drawings and storyboards. They were exceptionally detail-oriented for both aesthetics and functionality.
Just Scent is a wholesale fragrance oil company, and we've been in business for almost 13 years. We sell candle supplies and soap supplies to crafters.
What business challenge were you trying to address with Los Angeles Web Design?
My biggest goal was to create a website that was not confusing. I have so many products and so many pages that my customers found it daunting to try to find something. When you're in the world of wholesalers, it's typically not a pretty site. I wanted it to be aesthetically pretty as well as very functional.
Los Angeles Web Design completely rebuilt my site, including the logo and theme. They helped with everything from the design, the development, third-party integrations, and the SEO [search engine optimization] side as well. They changed the structure and design of every single page. They also changed the back-end so it would be easier for me to add and edit products.
How did you come to work with Los Angeles Web Design?
I was on my shop host site looking to see who they recommended, and there were 10 website designers who worked with Lexicon. I actually called a couple of people and when I spoke to Alan [Dale, CEO at Los Angeles Web Design] and Louise [Manfe, vice president of marketing at Los Angeles Web Design], I just knew they were the right fit.
It cost between $10,000 and $15,000.
We have doubled our business since we launched the site in September without changing any other part of the business.
How did Los Angeles Web Design perform from a project management standpoint?
Los Angeles Web Design listened to what I had to say. They were sympathetic to my needs and very nice. They talked in terms that I could understand because I'm not a web person. They told me what they could do. They explained everything to me, and they had weekly drawings and updates of everything that they had been working on. I got little storyboards for every step. They were awesome.
What distinguishes Los Angeles Web Design from other providers?
They have such a great eye for all the details, not just making it aesthetically pretty, but the details in the functionality of the site. The details that I would never even have thought about. The color or fonts, the size of the pictures – they go into great detail about things that you would never even think to look at.
Is there anything Los Angeles Web Design could have improved or done differently?
I don't think they could have done anything to make it more successful, truly. I am 100% happy.
They build a beautiful site.


Based on the childhood game of Duck on a Rock, Naismith's original rules were developed in 1891 when he was working for the YMCA. Read more about the history of the game. And check out a new animated video on the original 13 rules here.
The Ball may be thrown in any direction by one or both hands.
The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).
A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for man who catches the ball when running, if he tries to stop.
The ball must be held by the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.
No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of the rule by any player shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole game, no substitute allowed.
A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of rules 3, 4, and such as described in rule 5.
When the ball goes out of bounds it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person first touching it. In case of a dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that team.
The referee shall be the judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made, and keep account of the goals, with any other duties that are usually performed by the referee.
The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with 5 minutes rest between.
The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In case of a draw, the game may be by mutual agreement, be continued until another goal is made.


For anyone interested in rocks, minerals, fossils, lapidary or other phases of Earth Science is welcome to apply for membership.
The Geology Club is an active organization composed of people of many interests and capabilities — teachers, retirees, geologists, hobbyists and others. It was organized in January 1962 at the request of interested people in the community seeking knowledge and direction in geology and related subjects. Anyone interested in rocks, minerals, fossils, lapidary or other phases of Earth Science is welcome to apply for membership.
Requirements for membership include an interest in learning and sharing. Annual dues provide partial support for the club's activities. Individual dues are $12.00. Additional members of the family may join at a reduced rate of $8.00.
Meetings are held in the museum, on the third Wednesday of each month from January—November. Each meeting is held at 7 pm, unless otherwise announced. Meetings include geology-related presentations, which are free and open to the public. Field trips, silent auctions, and bus trips occur frequently.
Some of the services provided for the museum and the community have included periodic rock, gem, and mineral shows; specimen identification; artifact ID and illustrated programs in and out of the Museum; and a small reference library for the Museum. Club members frequently are donors to the geology collections of the Museum and also often speak to school classes. Each year the club contributes to a scholarship for a college student in the geology field.
The Geology Club is affiliated with the Midwest Federation of Mineralogical and Geological Societies and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies.


It's officially National Doctors' Day. We kid you not, National Doctors' Day is real thing, and it honors the service of our medics. The holiday was observed for the first time on March 30, 1933, with the date selected to mark the anniversary of the first use of general anesthesia in surgery. National Doctors' Day didn't officially become a holiday until 1990, when President Bush made it so.

Midcentury Christmas at Renfrew Museum and Park
by Leisa McCracken | Nov 19, 2021
Tuesday November 23rd, 2021 * 7:00 PM
Presented by Dr. Leslie Goddard, Ph.D.
Kick off the holiday season with Renfrew as we remember back to the era of our last private residents, Edgar and Emma Nicodemus!
Christmas in America from the 1940s through the 1960s meant aluminum trees, department store Santas, and cartoon specials on TV.
Every kid in the suburbs had to have an Easy-Bake Oven, a G.I. Joe, or a Slinky.
The coolest houses had rotating color wheels for their trees.
Historian Leslie Goddard explores this optimistic era in a new illustrated lecture, using photographs, advertisements, greeting cards, and catalogs to explain why this era was such a turning point for how we celebrate the holidays.
Sign up for one of two ways to attend – Via Zoom/In-Person
The Wreathery Open House
Saturday December 4th &11th, 2021 * 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Wreath-maker, Phillip Lobaugh says: "This past spring I read an article in Country Gardens about the historic language of flowers…
If a flower arrangement can have a message, why not wreaths" For example, a wreath of pine, spruce and arborvitae decorated with poinsettias and holly berries would send this message: Be of good cheer, may our friendship be unchanging, your holiday filled with Christmas joy, and may you have hope when faced by adversity."
Or a wild grapevine wreath decorated with cedar, magnolia leaves, corn, wheat, oranges, lemons, and pineapple would say: "You are welcome and may your future be filled with riches and prosperity, generosity, dignity, strength, charity, sweetness, and zest."
Not only will there be wreaths of evergreen and grapevine, but also swags tabletop trees, decorated frames, greens for your own decorating and design, and grapevine snowmen. The beauty of local evergreens will be enhanced with ribbons in Christmas colors of red, gold, burgundy, and plaid, cones, berries, apples, and nuts.
Wreaths & Swags will be available at:
The Center of Balance
29 North Jefferson Street
Greencastle. PA 17225
Beginning November 18th, Open Thursday – Saturday

Natale Monferrato (* um 1603 in Venedig; † 23. April 1685 ebenda) war ein italienischer Organist, Komponist und Kapellmeister am Markusdom.

Leben
Natale Monferrato war ein Schüler Giovanni Rovettas im Orgelspiel und in Kontrapunktlehre. Nach dem Tod des Organisten Giovanni Pietro Berti (um 1590–1638) unterlag 1639 Monferrato Francesco Cavalli im Wettbewerb um den Posten des zweiten Organisten. Monferrato wurde kurze Zeit später als Sänger angestellt. Nachdem sein Lehrer Rovetta die Position des Kapellmeisters innehatte, wurde Monferrato 1647 Vize-Kapellmeister. Erst nach dem Tod von Cavalli 1676 wurde Monferrato erster Kapellmeister am Markusdom, ein Posten, den er bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1685 ausübte.

Neben seinen Tätigkeiten am Markusdom war Monferrato Chorregent am Ospedale dei Mendicanti und Kapellmeister an S. Giovanni Crisostomo, wo er auch seinen Wohnsitz hatte. In Sozietät mit Giuseppe Sala betrieb er einen Musikalienverlag, in dem die meisten seiner Kompositionen und die vieler anderer Komponisten gedruckt wurden, außerdem erteilte er privaten Cembalounterricht.

Monferratos wichtigstes Verdienst war die Reorganisation der Musikkapelle am Markusdom und die Schaffung strengerer Kriterien bei den Aufnahmeprüfungen. Als Folge dieser Qualitätssteigerung eiferten die verschiedenen Kapellen Europas um die besten venezianischen Sänger. Die Werke Monferratos entsprechen dem kirchenmusikalischen venezianischen Stil zu Beginn der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts und sind seinen Vorgängern Claudio Monteverdi und Giovanni Rovetta verpflichtet.

Werke (Auswahl)
 Salmi concertati (5–8-stimmig, 2 Violinen und Orgel), Op. 1, 1647
 Salmi (8-stimmig, (doppelchörig) und Orgel) Op. 2, 1653

Let's Talk About Pokemon Go's Newest Adaptation
October 18, 2018 Chris Amann Leave a comment
There's a new Pokemon game coming out for the Nintendo Switch, called "Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee!" If you aren't aware, it's basically a remake of the original Pokemon games with a few changes. The biggest ones have to do with wild Pokemon and the player's interactions with them. In previous iterations of the standard style, you would wander around in the grass until you spawned a random encounter with a Pokemon from wherever the grass is located. Then you fought the Pokemon until it was weak enough to be captured or you defeated it. Now, you actually see the Pokemon walking around and can pick which ones you encounter. Additionally, you catch them like you do in Pokemon Go. You use a berry if you want to, select your ball, wait for the circle to be the right size, and then attempt to throw the pokeball so it lands inside the circle. Then you either catch it or you don't. There's no battling involved, except with the occasional trainer.
This was one of the first things we learned about the new game and it upset a lot of people. More so even than the fact that it was a third remake of the first generation of Pokemon games. The change is a pretty big departure from the core games. Battling wild Pokemon in order to gain XP and level up is such a core element of the game that felt like spending money on this game would be a waste. Wandering around, training Pokemon, and collecting XP has always been a core aspect of the games for me because I use them primarily as a way of shutting my mind down for a few hours or as a way of quieting my mind when I can't sleep. That's going to be a lot harder to do when I actually need to look at the game and employ motion controls with any degree of accuracy since you only get XP if you catch the Pokemon. How am I supposed to just cruise through the game with an overpowered team if I can't dedicate a few mindless hours of battling wild Pokemon to each area between cities or gyms so my Pokemon stay above the curve by five to ten levels?
Thinking about it like that, it made it clear that this wasn't a game for me. News that has come out since then, about other things that will be different about Pokemon: Let's Go has made it clear that this game wasn't meant for me or anyone like me. This game was meant for people getting into Pokemon for the first time. Children who have had to try to pick up the games that are always at least partially targeted toward older audiences, casual gamers who want a quiet couch game that doesn't involve a lot of meta-analysis, or people who haven't really played many games before but have started now that Pokemon Go has proven so popular and accessible. It's a reintroduction to the series that somewhat mirrors the way the first game was simpler than all the ones since then.
For instance, Let's Go won't have eggs or breeding. All of the highly competitive aspects of the game that stem from that won't be present either. There will be no breeding for natures, IVs, or EVs. Egg moves, secret abilities, TM/HMs won't get passed down through generations to create the perfect Pokemon after a dozen hours of breeding, walking, and hatching. Now you need to catch the Pokemon or send them over from Pokemon Go if you want to try for a specific nature and all of that is more or less random. Sure, there are elements the game has that the originals did not, but it's stuff like playing little mini games with your Pokemon to make it like you more or handing over surplus Pokemon for candies that boost your Pokemon's stats (which actually maps pretty well to IV/EV stuff and the various stat-boosting items you could get when you inevitably wound up with more money than you knew what to do with). Everything they've added fits within the relatively simple and less competitive framework of the original game. Your only real competition are the friends you battle against using the system link or the game itself, most of which is pretty optional.
In order to entice the older, more competitive audience as well–and I'm willing to admit that this idea has gotten me interested in buying the game again–they're adding "Master Trainers" to the game. These trainers are the specific master trainer of one type of Pokemon and you will have to battle them with that specific Pokemon as well. Your Charizard will have to battle their Charizard, and it'll actually be a tough fight since their Pokemon will allegedly be specifically geared toward fighting its own species. Gyarados has been able to learn thunderbolt for a long time, but trying to beat one that knows that with another Gyarados? That sounds like an incredibly tough challenge that would require me to not only level up my Pokemon, but maximize its potential stats and find a way to give it an unbeatable set of moves. Which is exactly what most of the super-competitive Pokemon players where saying this set of games lacked. I'm not that competitive, but the idea of being declared a Pokemon Master after all these years sounds incredibly tempting, especially for my favorite Pokemon.
I'm still curious about how the game's going to go once it comes out, but the twin powers of nostalgia and disposable income have convinced me it's worth buying. I doubt I'll try to get anyone else to buy it and just make up for the lack of a trading partner with Pokemon Go, but I expect it'll be a good time now that I've started looking at it the right way. This isn't a remake, it's a reintroduction, and I think that's a great thing. I hope more people online start to see it for what it is as well.

Does anyone know of a guidance figure provided and a source of information, for the maximum number of people in a catchment area that an OTP should aim to service i.e. it's recommended to have 1 x OTP/10,000 people. SPHERE doesn't provide guidance on population numbers, rather it states, 'outpatient programme sites should be close to the targeted population to reduce the risks and costs associated with travelling long distances with young children and the risk of being displaced to them' and 'more than 90% of the target pop is within less than one day's return walk (including time for treatment) of the prog site'.
It varies a lot pending on expected caseload, set-up and design of the program (GAM rates know in the area, you can then calculate the amount of beneficiaries malnourished at the moment, and thus how many will need services, taking expected coverage into account).
The larger the team, the more beneficiaries can be seen by day, compared to OTP services integrated within the health service (and thus caseload each day should be lower). I always use the maximum 1 hour walk as a reference point when opening a program (although not always possible), but at the same time prefer linking nutrition services to health services and thus look at how many health posts etc... are present in the area. if this is an emergency response, mobile teams would be a good solution for the beginning.
I am not aware of any source that gives a number as it is dependent on so many factors, and varies enormously.
I hope this was of any help, and answered your question. I think more information is needed from you if you need a figure to for example develop a proposal.
Thanks Stein for your response. Completely agree with your appraisal of each situation and the requisite number of services, taking into consideration case load, existing health facilities, access etc. I just wanted to see if there was a proxy bench-mark or globally accepted standard out there for reference.

chilling behind the piano so no one has to watch me dance…
Hi, I'm Kaitlin.
In Massachusetts I became immersed in songwriting at the age of 10 hanging out at local coffee houses on weeknights. The talented folk musicians inspired me to start weaving my own stories into music. I'd always been passionate about singing and playing piano, but I then realised I was more exhilarated chucking the two together. After ten years living in New Zealand, I've moved to London to pursue that passion.
I recorded my first EP with Simon Berckelman (Philadelphia Grand Jury) in Berlin. Last year I travelled around performing in London, New York, and Los Angeles. While in London I began working with artist/producer James Yuill (Moshi Moshi) to create intricate alternative pop music with a hint of jazz and a twist of R&B, leading to the release of the System EP and now, the 41.9 EP!
My focus with songwriting is to explore those weird "in-between" emotions we always let pass us by. Things are never as simple as happy and sad; in love and heart-broken. Writing songs that people can empathise with on a very personal level is an important thing to do, it shows that we're not all so different. Music extends this relation and allows you to chill inside that atmosphere.
My other passions include math, sci-fi, silly cartoons, Formula 1, wasting hours scrolling through the depths of the internet, and telling jokes that I think will be really funny but turn out to not be that funny and then everyone is uncomfortable.

Michael Arthur Sayman (born August 24, 1996), is a Peruvian–Bolivian–American mobile application entrepreneur, software engineer, political activist, and author. He is best known for creating top-charting apps as a teenager to provide for his family during the Great Recession, as well as his subsequent work at Facebook. Described by Semana as "the most influential Latino in Silicon Valley", in 2019, Sayman was included on Forbes's 30 Under 30 list, and has additionally been featured at TED.

Sayman published his first app to the App Store (iOS) when he was 13 years old. He later gained recognition from Mark Zuckerberg with his launch of 4 Snaps, a turn-based photo game, in his junior year of high school. Zuckerberg then hired Sayman, becoming Facebook's "teen-in-residence" at 18, taking part in the creation of Instagram Stories. His success with mobile application development grew in his teenage years, generating millions in revenue as a high school student. At age 18, he was described by CNET as one of the 20 Latinos with the biggest influence in the tech industry.

Personal life
Michael was born in Miami, Florida in 1996 to Bolivian father Miguel Sayman and Peruvian mother Maria Cristina Gálvez Sayman. A large part of his life is defined by effects the Great Recession had on his childhood.

In 2010, when Sayman was 13 years old, his parents lost their jobs and were forced to foreclose their home. His mother considered having them move back to Peru. Sayman insisted they remain in the United States, and that he would pay for everything. Throughout his adolescence, he provided for his family via the money he earned publishing apps on the App Store. In an interview with People magazine regarding his teenage years, Sayman said there were moments in which he did not know how his family would be able to afford to buy food or pay the electricity bill.

In 2014, as tech companies were flying Sayman out to tour their campuses and speak at conferences, he still owed tuition to Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, the private high school he attended. The school refused to give him his graduation certificate due to his inability to pay the outstanding balance he owed.

In August 2018, Sayman publicly came out as gay in an interview with People en Español. He said in the interview that he chose to come out because he believed that "this will be able to help other Latinos who go through the same situation."

Programming career

Early career
Sayman taught himself programming through tutorials he found via Google.

In 2013, Sayman developed an app named "4 Snaps", a turn-based game that gave the user a choice of words, allowed them to take four pictures based on the word they picked, and then sent over to the opponent player to guess what the word was, based on the pictures taken. He released the app on August 8, 2013 and by the following year, the app had over one million downloads.

4 Snaps was received with mostly positive reviews. It peaked at No. 1 on the word games chart with a few million users.

Facebook (2014–17)
Sayman joined Facebook when he was 18. Mentored by Mark Zuckerberg, Sayman played a role within the company as the social network's "go-to teen" and as its "teen-in-residence" according to TED. Over the course of 3 years at the company, he worked on developing products for the teenage demographic. He helped the social-media company understand how his generation uses technology, advising on experimental products for teens and helping executives understand trends.

While working at Facebook, he launched Lifestage, a standalone, video-centric social app for high school students. The app was largely focused on the teenage demographic; anyone 22 or older is locked into only being able to see their own profile. When users signed up, with no need for a Facebook account, they would select their high school, and then see the video profiles from people at their school or ones nearby. Sayman released the app on August 19, 2016, for iOS devices in the United States. The app was met with criticism regarding its privacy model and compared to Snapchat and Yik Yak. Facebook pulled Lifestage from the app store and shut it down on August 4, 2017. Sayman left Facebook that same month.

Google
Sayman joined Google to work on its 'Assistant' project. Sayman worked on building a social-gaming startup within Google as part of the company's effort to create offspring companies from within the internet-search conglomerate.

At age 22 in 2019, Sayman's work at Google led to him being chosen to be on Forbes's 30 Under 30 list, a prestigious list of successful professionals under the age of 30. His entry on the list notes his experience as Facebook and his work on Google's "Assistant" function.

Post-Google (2020–)
In 2020, Sayman left his role at Google to join Roblox, a video game platform. Sayman has been described by Semana as "the most influential Latino in Silicon Valley". A memoir by Sayman, App Kid, that details his upbringing and family life was released in September 2021.

In 2022, microblogging platform Twitter hired Sayman to work in a product group called "0–1", focused on new features geared toward younger users.

DETAINED Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou has been granted C$10 million (US$7.5 million) bail by a Vancouver court, Reuters reports, amid intense anger from Chinese groups over her arrest a week ago.
The CFO will be monitored and face a curfew during the bail period, her attorney said, as a judge considers whether charges of fraudulent banking activity to sidestep US sanctions in Iran are strong enough to support her extradition south of the border.
President Donald Trump said that he is willing to intervene in the case if it would be in the interests of national security or furthering trade deal negotiations.
'If I think it's good for the country, if I think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made - which is a very important thing - what's good for national security - I would certainly intervene if I thought it was necessary,' President Trump told reporters.
A potentially significant development also came on Tuesday as reports broke that former Canadian diplomat Michael Kovrig had been detained in China and that his family and current employer were pushing for his release.

How Two Rabbis Stole Christmas Traditions To Invent Hanukkah As A Competing Jewish Holiday
December 11, 2020 By CFT Team -- 11 Comments
(Cincinnati.com) Two Cincinnati rabbis — who felt that Jews in America needed a holiday of their own to compete with Christmas — are responsible for contriving and popularizing Hanukkah in America, according to Dianne Ashton, a professor of religion studies at Rowan University:
In an editorial published by the independent media website, The Conversation, Ashton explains that outside of America, Hanukkah is regarded as a minor Jewish holiday.
In the decades after the Civil War, Rabbi Isaac M. Wise of Plum Street Temple and Rabbi Max Lilienthal of Mound Street Temple introduced Hanukkah festivals to their congregations and promoted them in their publications to Jews across the nation.
"Through their efforts, special Hanukkah events for children became standard in American synagogues," Ashton wrote.
Hanukkah, with its many variant spellings, is the Hebrew word for "dedication."
The holiday commemorates the re-dedication of the Jewish holy temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees, a group of Jewish rebel warriors led by Judah, liberated the temple from the Seleucid Empire in 165 B.C.
The temple's menorah was required to be lit every night. According to Jewish lore, only one flask of holy olive oil was found, enough to light for one day, yet the oil burned for eight days.
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month Kislev (which can fall in parts of November and December).
For eight days, candles are lit by a shamash ("helper") candle, adding one candle each day, to commemorate the miracle of the lights.
In her book, "Hanukkah in America: A History," Ashton reveals how Wise and Lilienthal, as leaders of Reform Judaism in America, reshaped the holiday to attract Jewish children to honor their heritage.
One obstacle, as they saw it, was that schools taught about American heroes like George Washington rather than ancient Jewish heroes in a far-off land…
Another obstacle was Christmas, which was gaining popularity in the late 19th century. Its traditions of songs and gift-giving were particularly enticing to children.
Inspired by the way Christian churches used Christmas to teach children about their religion, Lilienthal adopted the use of hymns, festivals and toys for Hanukkah.
"We must do something, too, to enliven our children," Lilienthal wrote in an editorial in 1876. "[They] shall have a grand and glorious Chanukah festival nicer than any Christmas festival."
Lilienthal created a festival where the Hanukkah story was told, candles were lit and candies and gifts were handed out to children. Wise also introduced the festivals to his congregation. Then they encouraged all Jews to do likewise.
"Chanukah is entirely neglected in so many of our Jewish families … [that] we [should] celebrate it publicly … in every congregation," Lilienthal wrote. "The children shall have it as a day of rejoicing [in] our religion. Chanukah can be celebrated to delight young and old."
In 1891, The Enquirer reported on the "Chanukkah" festivities planned in Cincinnati…
The Chanukkah Festival Society of the Poor would be held at Plum Street Temple where "over 500 children will be made happy with toys, candies and other good things."
Ashton concludes, "In its similarity to Christmas domestic gift-giving, Hanukkah makes Judaism attractive to children and … relatable to Jews' Christian neighbors …
"In America, this minor festival has attained major significance."
Not only is Hanakkah a completely fabricated holiday — like Afro-American affirmative action holiday, Kwanzaa — the notion that today's Jews are descendants of the ancient Israelites — and more specifically Judah and the Maccabees — is far more preposterous.
The Jews themselves admit to this impersonation in their own publications — according to the 1980 Jewish Almanac, "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew."
As Jewish-Israeli professor Shlomo Sand thoroughly demonstrated in his book, The Invention Of The Jewish People, the notion that today's Jews are descendants of King David is just that — a notion — a myth — wishful thinking.
And these two rabbis in Cincinnati contrived Hanukkah as a way of selling this fake babylonian mystery religion — Judaism — to young impressionable Jewish children — who are rewarded with gifts and gelt if they agree to go along with this impersonation.
As Jews have risen in preeminent power and wealth in America — to the point where they now "own the whole freaking country" — they naturally have used that ill-gotten power to legally abolish any suggestion of Christmas on public property while replacing it with their ersatz Hanukkah.
Read in their own words how Chabad-affiliated Jewish lawyers and corrupt judges have manipulated the law to allow Hanukkah displays on public property — while maintaining the ban on Christmas displays.
And then they have the chutzpah to now claim that there is now a "War on Hanukkah".

If the Jews lamp had oil for only one day , but burned for eight days, they had to have turned the wick down.
Or burned it only at night.

a second and final solution is coming to the world, sooner is better.
Skip Baker
Note: Hanukkah happened 40 YEARS BEFORE the "Jews joined the Judeans" and it was in 165 B.C. when the Maccabees (who were NOT Edomite Jews) "Cleansed the Sanctuary" thus fulfilling Daniel 8:14 at the end of the "2300 days." Jews did not "Join the Judeans" until 125 B.C. when King John Hyrcanus II of Judah, the last REAL High Priest and King of Judah, defeated the Edomite Jews in Idumea (Greek for Edom) in 125 B.C. To top that off, Hanukkah didn't happen on December 25th, as those lying demon seed Edomite Jews pretend.
Four years later, the Jews murdered King John and bribed the Romans to insert Herald the Edomite in as "King of Judea." That's HOW demon seed Edomite Jews "wormed their way" into OUR European Tribe of Judah! The jews don't have ONE DROP of Judah's blood in their satanic seed. Jews are the "Children of Esau Edom" and NOT of Jacob Israel as all the lying "Christian" WHORE pastors teach today! Skip.
Interesting theory, Skip, but have you read our series on Edom in Scripture? We be interested to hear your thoughts…

Jews have great 'Hanukkah'(dedication) for their Talmud that's why there fine liars & killers…
FYI: They calling anything 'festival of lights' is Also straight clone from the HINDU celebration of DIVALI…the jew the eternal thief
Hanukkah, the festival of dedication, is in Maccabees, but the 8-day oil miracle isn't! Josephus doesn't mention it either! It's only in the Talmud. No contemporary source mentions it. The 9-candle menorah, called the chanukiah, is fake news. Only the 7-candle one is in the Tanakh.
Alberticus
That which distinguishes CHRISTianity from the tribal faux religions is the human suffering and appeal to the downtrodden as opposed to Judaism and Islam with their appeal of conquest and oppression of non-members . Christianity was the religion of Slaves and the Poor because it promised Grace and Humanity.
The claim that "All religions are the same" is foolish.
The Jews made a deity of the law which, after all they wrote it, so they were deifying their own works. Christ made NEW by telling those who would listen that the law was in their hearts (i.e. the spiritual spark of divinity is in each and every one of us). Like any organized religion, Christ represented a heretic to the Jews hold over the people so he had to be killed and kill him they did.
The United States of America is the only nation in human history established by mostly Christian people, founded upon 2,000 years of Christian thought, Reformation preaching and NEW Testament Biblical Natural Law principles—and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law. This truth is easily observed within America's earliest history. Seventeen seventy-six represented the culmination of thousands of years of western civilization and the triumph not only of spirit, but of wisdom, philosophy, and reason.
Destroy Christianity …. to destroy all Human RIGHTS

If you want to know who is in charge, look at who you are not allowed to criticize…
They don't have one festival that isn't dedicated to defeating, or getting one over, another group of people. That's all you need to know.
Hanukkah is celebrated rather indifferently in the Israeli state but is observed with much more interest in the US — as competition for Christmas, in order to symbolically assert the supremacy of the jews over the rest of humanity.
The secret of Hanukkah was disclosed by Rabbi Levi Isaac ben Meir of Berdichev, a prominent eighteenth century legal authority. Rabbi Meir revealed a secret known only to a few: that lighting the hanukkah menorah does not commemorate the victory of the biblical Maccabees. The arcane traditional doctrine of the sages of the talmud concerning hanukkah is that it commemorates G_d's "delight in the jewish people" themselves, and their presumptuous and pretentious celebrations.
The secret teaching of hanukkah is that G_d supposedly provided a mythical eight days of oil not as a means of facilitating a victory, or of guaranteeing the successful completion of a sacred duty, but rather as a sign of G_d's continuing adoration of the jews, which all the rest of us are supposed to emulate, as we in fact do, whenever we allow a menorah to be erected where a Nativity scene is banned.
Hanukkah is talmudism's principal weapon for injecting the religion of the talmud into the civic life of America during the month of December, at a time when Chritianity and it's symbols, such as Nativity scenes are increasingly marginalized or banned completely from the public square in favor of menorah lightings, materialism, and the collective jingle of cash registers. The images of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are made to descend during the Christmas season while the Menorah and the judaic self worship it represents, rise.
In the religion of judaism the hanukkah menorah is the symbol of the supreme position which the talmudic people supposedly occupy in G_d's eyes. The hanukkah menorah is not a symbol of a biblical occurance. Hanukkah is a man made talmudic tradition intended for self-idolatry. It represents the victory not of the Maccabees over the pagans, but the selective memory of the rabbis over history. Hanukkah is an enduring commitment to the dark racial and religious conceit of the rabbinic and zionist jews disguised as a holiday light and cheer for all, and as such it is a kind of abbreviation for and asummation of the strange god of self adulation which is the central idol of the adherents of orthodox judaism and the central violation of the First Commandment of Exodus 20.3: Thou shalt not place false gods before me.

Stan: Day 1
By gabetheis
After being undecided on songs for our project throughout the semester, I finally settled on "Stan", Eminem's cautionary tale of fandom. One of my favorite hip-hop songs of all time, I was driven to adapt it into a video despite the fact that the song contains wrist cutting, car crashes, and Eminem. Oh, and it's six minutes long.
Despite these obstacles, I chose to push forward and launch production. Adapting "Stan" will be a challenging experience. The obvious thing to do would be to film some guy writing a letter for six minutes, but I wanted to expand on Stan's life and further develop his character by sprinkling in key moments from his life throughout the song. Today, I'll be shooting scenes between Stan and his girlfriend. We'll see how that goes.
