Looks Like The Last Dance Stole Blake Griffin's 'Go-To' Michael Jordan Story
Published: Sep. 20. 2020 8:57 AM
There's a lot to love about The Last Dance, but some of the most entertaining elements of the critically acclaimed docuseries have to be the personal stories from the various interviewees. From team practices and championship celebrations to Michael Jordan's golf outings and pre-game wagers with the security staff, there was no shortage of delightful anecdotes. There's one story that likely sticks out the most in both basketball fans and casual viewers' minds and, unfortunately for Blake Griffin, it was his favorite go-to story when describing his run-ins with Jordan.
Detroit Pistons star Blake Griffin, a Jordan brand athlete, has known the iconic Chicago Bull for some time now. As a result, he's been privy to some personal stories from Jordan's time as a player, which Griffin would then tell his friends. However, Michael Jordan would discuss Griffin's favorite story in depth on The Last Dance, and it's one that involves one of the Bulls' most eccentric players:
I've been a Jordan athlete for almost eight years now, and I've gotten to spend some time around him. And whenever tells stories, you're always really locked in. He's a great storyteller, and he told us the story about Dennis Rodman 'needing a vacation' in the middle of the season and going to Vegas. And for so long, that was like my go-to. People would be like, 'What's Jordan like?' And I'm like, 'Oh, I got something cool. Here's this story.' And I would just give them this Dennis Rodman story. And then as he started to tell this story during The Last Dance, I was just like, '[sigh].' I don't have that cool story, like my go-to story where everything was keyed up, so now I gotta think of something else.
Dennis Rodman's midseason "vacation" in Las Vegas was definitely a highlight of The Last Dance, which just scored a well-deserved Emmy win for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. Watching Jordan reminisce on the situation was almost as funny as the seemingly ageless Carmen Electra recalling her attempts to hide when Jordan came looking for Rodman in Vegas. With this, one can understand why Blake Griffin was a bit bummed when discussing the now-widely-known story on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Wow, Michael Jordan's The Last Dance Is Even Boosting A Singer's Record Sales
Griffin's response is one of the many interesting reactions to The Last Dance, as some of the players that appeared in the doc have since given their thoughts on it. For instance, Scottie Pippen seemed to mostly enjoy the series, which was contrary to previous reports that he was "livid" about the way he was depicted.
One person who did take issue with their depiction was former Chicago Bull Horace Grant. During The Last Dance, Jordan claimed that Grant leaked locker room information to journalist friend Sam Smith, which allegedly allowed him to write The Jordan Rules. Grant refuted the claims and asserted his belief that Jordan is only holding "a grudge."
Aside from Grant, reception to The Last Dance has been relatively positive, though it looks like Blake Griffin will have to find a new story to tell. But that shouldn't be too hard given that he's probably heard more than one Michael Jordan story in his time.
The Last Dance is currently streaming on both Netflix and ESPN+.

Tubœuf est une ancienne commune française du département de l'Orne, réunie à Saint-Michel-la-Forêt le  pour former Saint-Michel-Tubœuf.

Toponymie
Il s'agit d'un des nombreux noms de lieux basés sur le nom du bœuf. Il n'est pas exclu que Tubœuf puisse remonter à un sobriquet, peut être un nom d'homme médiéval pris absolument et signifiant le « tueur de bœufs ». En réalité, il s'agit plutôt d'un composé métaphorique tue bœuf qui désigne un abattoir cf. Matabiau (Haute-Garonne, Toulouse).

In 1993, Tundra Specialties was born with a single mission: We respond immediately to solve the needs of our customers, so that they can sustain and grow the relationships they have with theirs as measured by unparalleled service standards, ease of access, sense of trust, being a critical resource of knowledge and information, having an incessant drive to have fun, and the commitment to share.
CEO Michael Lewis moved to Boulder, Colorado to start a new company based on values. These values are based on ideals we all grew up with but tend to get lost in the shuffle of everyday life and business. Work ethically, share your gains, keep a sense of integrity, humility and respect are a few of them.
Starting with only 3 employees and our company values, our company has grown from a local Boulder company to an international distributor of more than 60,000 products. Our evolution is based on our customers' feedback. Over the years, we have released an annual catalog that has grown to over 400 pages. Our catalog is an excellent reference guide for equipment part breakdowns as well as a large selection of restaurant plumbing, smallwares, and equipment.
In 2005 we converted our extensive catalog to a comprehensive ecommerce website. This catapulted us into the national and international market. In 2008 we released the website you are currently visiting. We remain focused on uploading more products and information every day.
During these years some of our local restaurant chain customers expanded into national concepts. In addition, established national and international chains have discovered us and our unique ability to both open and replenish their restaurants.
Over time, detail and passion for our customer needs has created the Tundra you see today. If you have any questions even remotely related to the food service industry, give us a call at 888-388-6372 or use our live chat feature found at the top of this page.
That guy's name is Chris Tavano, and he's a former chef, so he has a lot of fancy words that he throws out sometimes, but "mise en place" (pronounced meez en plas) is a French phrase that refers to preparing your ingredients and supplies before starting to cook. It's the prep work that needs to be done so that when you begin to cook, the process is much easier.

Q: Getting Highest Z-Index value using jQuery.live to ensure ALL elements considered At risk of being told this is a duplicate question, I am trying to find out how to get the highest z-Index value of all the divs on a page INCLUDING those which have been created by jQuery.
The situation is, I have a toolTip div which sits at the top of the page and is populated onMouseover or onClick by jQuery based upon the trigger element.
I have a hidden div which onClick of a calling element shows up in a Lightbox style window which is given it's z-Index by jQuery. I need to be able to trigger my onMouseover toolTip from an element within this div, but it's currently showing behind it.
Clearly I could do it manually, but for future use I thought a computed method would be better...
Googling brought me to SO as usual, to this article
How can you figure out the highest z-index in your document?
From which I found
function findHighestZIndex(elem) {
    var elems = document.getElementsByTagName(elem);
    var highest = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {
        var zindex = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elems[i], null).getPropertyValue("z-index");
        if ((zindex > highest) && (zindex != 'auto')) {
            highest = zindex;
        }
    }
    return (highest * 1);
}

Which works fine for elements which have explicitly set z-Indexes by CSS.
However, not divs shown/populated by jQuery.
The function above ignores this modal window, presumably because the z-Index is programatically created?
I found this function also on SO
function getMaxZIndex() {
    var zIndexMax = 0;
    $('div').each(function () {
        if ($(this).css('z-index') > zIndexMax) zIndexMax = $(this).css('z-index');
    });
    return (zIndexMax * 1);
}

But for some reason that returns 'NAN'
I think I need to use 'live' somewhere in here, but not sure how to go about doing it.
Once again, apologies if anyone thinks this is a duplicate question, but the questions I've found here don't quite answer this issue.

A: .css('z-index') returns string
'100' > 0 //true
'auto' > '100' //true

as a result zIndexMax will most likely to be 'auto' and 'auto' * 1 is NaN
try this
function getMaxZIndex() {
    var zIndexMax = 0;
    $('div').each(function () {
        var z = parseInt($(this).css('z-index'));
        if (z > zIndexMax) zIndexMax = z;
    });
    return zIndexMax;
}

A: Just a heads-up. If you're using a Webkit-based browser (e.g: Chrome, Safari), $(element).css('z-index') will ALWAYS return the string auto and element.style.zIndex will NEVER return anything unless the selected element also has an explicit position CSS style. So, in addition to the advice provided by @W.T. above, be sure to declare a CSS position for any element whose z-index you want to reliably read into a numerical value via JavaScript.

A: Although the question is pretty old by now, I had a similar issue and wanted to point out that the jQuery UI Core now has a method zIndex that seems more convenient (given you can use the jQuery UI Core). You would still have to iterate through the elements but no need for parsing anymore.

This walking holiday takes you through three nature reserves in the regions of South Tyrol and Belluno, which are some of the most beautiful areas of the Dolomites with the former Olympic city of Cortina d'Ampezzo in the center. The Dolomites have not without reason become a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mountains that surround you, reach heights above 3,000 meters (9,842ft).
Along the way you will see mountain lakes, high peaks, green fields with grazing cows and goats and mountain huts in traditional style. You'll discover the fascinating Tre Cime, with the possibility to see them from different sides when you walk around these impressive rock formations.
The trip is an individual self-guided walking tour, where it is possible to choose between a shorter and a longer day walk. Depending on your fitness level, on some days you may prefer the harder long route and other days the shorter and easier one. Your luggage is transported from hotel to hotel, so you only have to carry your daypack.
- or Dobbiaco/Toblach in the Pusteria Valley.
Your walking holiday starts with a short transfer to the mountain lake Lago di Braies or Pragser Wildsee that will fascinate you with its turquoise water. Here you get the first impression of Prague Valley with dark coniferous forests against the white cliffs.
You continue to pastures of Rossalm and reach the plateau Pratopiazza / Plätzwiese where the mountains Dürrenstein and Hohe Gaisl rise. From here there are magnificent views. In the distance you will see the mountains Cristallo, Tofana and the world famous Three Peaks of Lavaredo.
If you do not wish to walk that far, you can choose a shorter route, which starts at the Tuscherhof Inn. You will follow the river Stolla and pass small mountain hotels and rock formations shaped by wind and water before you reach the grassy areas of Pratopiazza / Plätzwiese, for your overnight stay.
Today you can decide, whether you wish to walk the long or the short route. You can hike to the top of either Strudelkopf at 2,307m / 7,568ft (short) or Dürrenstein 2,839m / 9,314ft (long). Both are located in the Dolomites' largest nature reserve, Fanes Sennes Braies.
You start from Pratopiazza / Plätzwiese that, together with the mountains Croda Rossa / Hohe Gaisl and Kreuzkofelgruppe, is a lovely nature- and hiking area in the Dolomites. Along the way on both routes there are beautiful views of the Hohe Gaisl, Three Peaks of Lavaredos, Tofana and Monte Cristallo.
The hike continues over Pratopiazza / Plätzwiese and down through Knappenfuss Valley (Valle dei canopi) to the saddle Cimabanche / Gemark, which forms the border between South Tyrol and Belluno.
From here you can go directly to Cortina d'Ampezzo, or choose a longer route past the mountain hut Ra Stua and around the foot of the mountain Col Rosa, before you reach Cortina, located at the bottom of the valley between the mountains.
You will spend two nights in Cortina and can stroll around the streets, where little shops lie side by side with cozy cafes and restaurants.
The view from starting point of your walk is quite nice. The high peaks stretching high into the sky. The mountains Cristallo, Tofane, Fanes and Sorapiss play a significant role in this magnificent view.
The programme of the day includes a tour of the deep valley surrounded by these high mountains. Again, there are two choices between a shorter and a longer and higher walk.
On this day you will have a transfer to the nearby Lake Landro. Here the walking path takes you throught the Rienz valley, and leads you to the famous three peaks - Tre Cime, the most known rock formations of the Dolomites.
During the First World War there were fierce battles in this area between Italy and Austria-Hungary, and there are still historical traces of the past.
You will continue the walk to Rifugio Auronzo, from where you will grab a bus back to Dobbiaco/Niederdorf (the bus ticket is not included in the price and costs around 6-7 euros).
You can also get the morning transfer all the way to the Auronzo Rifugio, and from here walk around the Tre Cime, before catching the bus to Dobbiaco/Niederdorf.
The last stage of your hiking vacation brings you to a beautiful side valley of Pusteria Valley. From Versciaco / Vierschach take the cable car up to Monte Elmo / Helm Berg, from where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Sesto / Sexten mountains.
Hahnspiel, Sillian, Klammbach and Helmhang are some of the cabins you pass on the way before you end your walk in Sesto / Sexten. From here you will return to Dobbiaco / Toblach for the last overnight stay.
The slightly longer hiking trail also includes a walk past the cottages Hahnspiel, Sillian, Klammbach and Alpe Nemes before arriving at Kreuzbergpass/ Passo Monte Croce. From here you can get back by bus or train.
Your walking holiday is coming to an end and it is time to return home or continue to a new exciting destination.
On this tour you are on your own without a tour guide. We have arranged for overnight stays, directions, maps and other practical things, but you must arrange your own transportation to the tour starting point and back. You'll be briefed about the tour at arrival.
The walks as described in the itinerary are graded Level 2-3. It is possible to choose between shorter and longer day trips, where the altitude will vary. Depending on your fitness level you may choose the long option on some days and other days the shorter option. The short walks have an average walking time of 3-4 hours per day, and the long walks are about 5-7 hours of hiking a day (add breaks).
Your luggage will be transported from hotel to hotel, so you will only have to carry your day-pack.
There are direct flights to Venice or Innsbruck from most of the European airports.
From Venice Airport there are several options to get to Dobiacco/Toblach. On Rome2Rio you'll find all the different transportation options as well as the prices.
Should you arrive in Cortina too late to catch the last bus to Dobbiaco (typically at around 6-7pm), then we can arrange a transfer for you. The price is 60 euros for a car (max 8 people).
We can also arrange transfers from Venice Airport (Marco Polo or Treviso) all the way to Dobbiaco. The price is 240 euros for a car (max 8 people).
From Innsbruck there are fine rail connections via the Fortezza Dobbiaco. Find connections and prices here.
In case you arrive in your own car, it is possible to park close to the hotel, in an unattended parking lot. The tour starts and ends in the same place.
We have included a hearty breakfast in the hotels.
Lunches can be purchased at the hotel.
It is possible to upgrade to a half board and add dinner on the trip. This can be selected in the booking form.
Note: It is not possible to provide half board in Cortina, thus the selection of half board means that dinner is included for 5 days.
The overnight stays are at cozy 3-star and sometimes 4-star family-owned hotels.
Overnights in Dobbiaco / Toblach can also be in Villabassa / Niederdorf.
We can arrange extra nights for you in the Pusteria Valley.

Home » silver-screen » Horror » House
"You are cordially invited to spend an evening with Roger Cobb and his friends. Don't come alone! Horror has found a new home." House was a comedy horror film released in 1986. The movie starred William Katt as Roger Cobb and George Wendt as Harold Gorton. Although the movie received mixed reviews, it was a big financial success at the box office. It was popular enough to warrant several sequels: House 2: The Second Story (1987), House III: The Horror Show (1989), and House IV (1992).
In the original movie, Roger Cobb (Katt) is a horror novelist working on a new book. Things are not going very well for him as he has separated from his wife, his only son has disappeared, and his favorite Aunt has committed suicide. In an effort to isolate himself from his troubles and work on his novel, he moves into his Aunt's house, where he spent much time as a child. He soon finds himself having terrible nightmares, and strange things are happening in the house, like monsters, gremlins, and an old Vietnam era fellow soldier trying to kill him.
Soon, Roger discovers an entry into the netherworld in the bathroom medicine cabinet, and while peering in, he is pulled through by some unseen force. In the darkness, he finds his lost son, and both escape. In the end, Roger is able to battle his "demons", putting behind him his trouble Vietnam war memories.

Corps of Discovery's descendants reunite
Descendants of the members of the Lewis and Clark Voyage of Discovery gather Sunday for a group photo on the beach at Seaview, Wash. The reunion coincided with the bicentennial celebration of the journey.Tom Bennett / AP
Aug. 16, 2004, 4:07 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
By By Joseph P. Frazier
Inside tiny Fort Clatsop, they were together again. The Lewises were there. So were the Clarks, the Floyds, and the Charbonneaus, the Gass family, the Whiteheads and more.
Or at least their DNA was, some diluted across generations, some of it rock-solid.
Descendants of the members of the Lewis and Clark Voyage of Discovery gathered over the weekend on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, the western terminus of the voyage where the party of 33 spent the miserable winter of 1805-1806.
The reunion coincided with the three-year-long bicentennial celebration of the journey. Participants came from as near as nearby small towns and from as far as China and Nigeria.
Genealogist Sandi Hargrove was in charge of tracking all the relations down. "They'd say something like 'We've always been told we were related to so-and-so but they never told us how,"' he said.
Of the 740 people at the weekend reunion, 167 were descendants of Sgt. Patrick Gass, or of his close relatives.
"He lived to be 99, and I would have loved to have met him," said Sandra Shakel, a great-great granddaughter who lives in Placitas, N.M.
Bicentennial celebration
The nation is celebrating the bicentennial of the expedition's departure from the St. Louis region, when the explorers and a roughly 40-member crew set off to explore the Louisiana Territory and seek a Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean.
The explorers logged about 8,000 miles (13,300 kilometers) as they navigated the Missouri River, crossed the Rocky Mountains, reached the Pacific and returned with knowledge of the land and its natives.
Expedition members were mostly young, footloose enlisted men, and many simply evaporated into history, becoming as anonymous after the 28-month voyage as they were before it started.
Hargrove, who was president of two genealogical societies and taught the subject at Clatsop Community College in Astoria, said she was approached by groups preparing for the celebration of the voyage's 200th anniversary.
Five-year search
Her five-year search included attempts to find relatives of the Indian translator Sacajawea and her infant son, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, whose father was Toussaint Charbonneau, hired halfway through the voyage west as an interpreter.
Whether she has descendants is not clear. Jean-Baptiste died in 1866, and Sacajawea herself had at least one daughter. When and where Sacajawea died, and whether there were other children, is not clear.
In all, the project was able to document 1,669 relatives, using birth, death and marriage certificates, wills and other resources.
Meriwether Lewis, who died in 1809, had no known direct descendants, but 40 descendants of his close relatives were there. There were a few descendants of William Clark.
Larry Whitehouse, of Fort Worth, Texas, a direct descendant of Pvt. Joseph Whitehouse, stuck his head into the cramped rooms of the fort replica rebuilt 50 years ago from drawings and descriptions in Lewis and Clark's journals.
"It's really neat to imagine 200 years later, here we are," he said. "Can you imagine they were here doing this?"

The School Development Plans are key documents that state the school's priorities for the coming year, in the medium term and our long term aims. They are 'working documents' and will change and be updated as the year progresses. The school uses the plans to identify areas to target; the strategies that could be used to meet the goals; the cost and how we will know whether the targets have been met. They also include medium and long term aims which are more of a wishlist and usually dependant on a number of factors with funding being a main one.
The school plans are written by all teaching staff together and have been shared with school governors. Teachers meet weekly to see what has been done and what we need to do next. All subjects and key areas have a development plan and teachers are in charge of different areas within each subject, so we don't have subject leaders as such, but teachers work towards meeting the targets together. This means that teachers have an overview and impact on all areas of teaching and learning. It is very much a shared document in which items can be added and altered depending on what has happened or what will happen in the future. The plans by no means include everything that goes on in school (if something is not there it doesn't mean that we are not doing it!) but do make clear our current priorities.
If you have any questions about the plans please make an appointment with the office and we will be happy to answer them.

Digital Explorers Interview: Insights from the participants
In 2019, fifteen Nigerian software developers, quality assurance specialists and data scientists took up their new positions at various Lithuanian companies. They were the first "explorers" to enter the labour mobility scheme Digital Explorers which brings young ICT (Information and communications technology) specialists from Nigeria to Lithuania for a career advancement programme. Funded by the European Union (EU) through ICMPD's Mobility Partnership Facility (MPF), the initiative aimed to enhance the young specialists' skills and competencies while contributing to the development of relevant business networks in both countries
In 2019, fifteen Nigerian software developers, quality assurance specialists and data scientists took up their new positions at various Lithuanian companies. They were the first "explorers" to enter the labour mobility scheme Digital Explorers which brings young ICT (Information and communications technology) specialists from Nigeria to Lithuania for a career advancement programme. Funded by the European Union (EU) through ICMPD's Mobility Partnership Facility (MPF), the initiative aimed to enhance the young specialists' skills and competencies while contributing to the development of relevant business networks in both countries.
Today, upon completion of their placement, some have returned to Nigeria while others continue to live and work in Lithuania. Some continue their work at the same company, others changed employers. To understand and reflect on such diversity, we spoke to three explorers and a company representative – Mr. Dayo Okesola, currently working as a Solutions Architect at the United Bank for Africa (UBA) in Lagos, NIgeria; Ms. Ajibola Ladoja, Assistant Manager at Western Union in Vilnius, Lithuania; Mr. Godsman Omeire, Frontend Engineer at TeleSoftas in Kaunas, Lithuania; and his supervisor Mr. Gediminas Markevicius, Senior Frontend Developer and Platform Lead at Telesoftas in Kaunas, Lithuania.
By highlighting each participants' lived experience, this article seeks to uncover two main things: Digital Explorers' impact on individuals' skills and career advancement, and its possible broader implications for the upcoming EU plans for a Talent Partnership framework.
On the Digital Explorers project: how it added value to your personal and professional growth
"People say you're valued more as the manager when you have overseas work experience. Some would get a master's degree, some would get overseas work experience. That was necessary for me." For Dayo, the work experience in Lithuania helped his transition from a technical position into a managerial role in Nigeria. In addition to this step forward in his career, he was able to apply the hard and soft skills he gained through Digital Explorers to his current position. "I picked up a tool, Redmine [system software for project management], and I was able to set up Redmine here in my team in Nigeria until we transitioned into Jira." Another was good work ethics. "I remember one day in Lithuania, we just had a team meeting and had deadlines that we had to meet but two hours later my team lead shows up and says 'Dayo we're playing foosball and we need one more person.' So there's a balance, it's not just work work work work." Dayo has returned to Nigeria and currently works as the team lead at UBA. "When I got back to Nigeria I started doing the same. […] Around 5pm, everyone was gone, [so I said] 'you've been here since 7am, so you can go home and do whatever you need to do, because you made the best out of the day." Dayo said it was important for him to become an engineering manager that allows a decent work life balance.
For Gediminas, his journey to Abuja for the Digital Explorers hackathon, where Nigerian candidates were selected for participation in the programme, was an opportunity to enhance his understanding of a "completely different culture from Europe." He also added that the relationship with trainees as a supervisor helped him "grow as a person." Here, one can spot the formation of a unique cross-cultural relationship: Gediminas and Godsman were not only engaging as mentor and mentee, but as each other's cultural informants. The dynamic moved beyond workplace boundaries. Formally or informally, they both learned about how the other presented himself, interacted with others or perceived the society, and such a relationship – albeit intangible – is an asset that lasts.
On frameworks such as the EU Talent Partnerships: how they could add value to you, your company and your country, as well as possible challenges
"There is a lot of interest. [A] Lot of people get overseas remote jobs and [a] lot of people get to travel" said Dayo, confirming the potential interest towards Talent Partnerships. He also stressed how it could add value to companies and start-ups in Nigeria by saying "what they need is usually funding, but [also] more professionalism in understanding their economics, and their finances, understanding products, delivery, leveraging with other people." While he was positive about the already increasing interest and investment in the Nigerian ICT sector, he also agreed to the importance of connecting educational institutions to learn from each other, in order to train young graduates more effectively. "I think this is important today, because most people leave school and they begin on the job and then they start to figure out their lives" explained Dayo, comparing it to his generation where "leaving school I already knew what I needed to do."
"I'm torn two ways about it," said Ajibola, "because there is always the issue of brain drain. And to be candid, a lot of people would probably not return, at least for a while. But if you take that aside, look at the bigger picture, I think it is a really really great idea." While highlighting the importance of prevention measures against potential brain drain, she said "overall, individually I think it's great, I think I'm definitely a better person for taking this step that I took – it paid off. I think, for a lot of people to have the same experience that I have, it is awesome, brain drain or not. And they are not just going to be bettering the life of one person. Eventually they'll be bettering the life of a whole economy." Rightfully emphasising the difficulty of measuring the programme's long-term impacts on individuals, she nevertheless emphasised the programmes' trickle-down effect. "It's really great because it gives young children, especially […] the pride that Nigerians feel when you see a Nigerian in a top world international position […] It just gives you this belief, gives you the room to dream. These things you cannot measure. These are things that eventually open up an economy, and it forces the economy to change the way it looks at things."
Godsman explained that a strong training component within the Talent Partnership framework "would be very beneficial". Yet, he put this in perspective by saying that although he benefited from the training by trying "to be very flexible and tried not to hold [onto] old habits, it might not be the same for everybody." He further suggested "[it] would be a very good idea to have people trained, then maybe have people pass the training [exam] also – that way you know that they are in alignment with the company and it's going to be a very smooth transition." This remark calls attention to the necessity of systematic skills recognition procedures between the EU and its partner countries for labour mobility. In terms of potential challenges such as brain drain, Godsman cautiously remarked, "It's going to take a very long time for me to agree that the number of talents that are being exported from Nigeria is going to cause a brain drain." In addition, he highlights the increasing amount of opportunities within the country as well as the willingness of Nigerians to stay. For example, when Godsman shared his Digital Explorers experience with his personal network, they responded positively and showed interest, but not all of them were willing to move abroad. "They just want to be in Nigeria and they just want to have a decent job and live comfortably." Godsman also noted that universities and boot camps are "coming up with good curriculums to train people" concluding that if "people see opportunities" in the country and the high fertility rate continues, brain drain is less likely to happen.
Gediminas was involved in the meetups with companies and programme partners to explain the motivation level and skills of the Nigerian talents he saw during his visit in Abuja. When asked about the potential challenges that Talent Partnerships may face, Gediminas noted that companies could be "scared to try" but stressed "they need to see a working example to start to believe in that." He further highlighted the importance of "understanding that people come from different cultures" but also reflected on the different enabling environments companies have: "maybe it was easier because we [Telesoftas already] had people from abroad." On this matter he shared his own insight: "Sometimes I hear from other companies that if a person from a specific country fails somehow, they always have to remind [themselves] that the person from your country" fails too, yet "you still do some trade-offs."
The interviews revealed the importance of recognising and reflecting on all stakeholders' voices when setting up new policy frameworks for cooperation on migration. Therefore, when drawing up plans for the Talent Partnerships, taking into consideration the perspectives of final beneficiaries – whether they be talents, migrants or employees in both receiving societies and countries of origin – is key to ensure their successful implementation. "When you are looking at making this bigger, involve the people, alumni." said Ajibola, stressing the need to involve participants in the programmes' design process. "They have a perspective that you probably do not have, that you probably cannot see […] because they lived the life." Thus, since Talent Partnerships are likely to build upon pilot projects such as Digital Explorers, it can seek for a win-win-win model. A win for governments, the private sector, and the migrants themselves.

KC Streetcar Looks West to KU Med in Proposed New Study
Proposed Extension Would Cross State Line into Kansas
Kevin Collison
Published October 1st, 2021 at 7:35 AM

The Kansas City Streetcar Authority is considering a one-mile streetcar extension that would take passengers west on 39th Street from the new Main Street line and across the state line to KU Medical Center.
It also will explore extending a potential line east of Main along Linwood.
"We've talked in general as the Main Street extension moves forward to look at extending it beyond Main," Tom Gerend, executive director of the Streetcar Authority. "We're in the early phases of discussion.
"There's strong support and interest from parties and a formal request from KU Med."
University of Kansas Medical Center officials could not be reached for comment, but in a presentation to the Streetcar Authority board, their rationale was provided: "(Study) initiated in part by request from the University of Kansas Health System to look at improved connectivity with KU Med and regional medical complexes."
In other streetcar developments, Gerend said the cost of building the planned riverfront extension from the River Market to Berkley Riverfront Park has escalated from earlier estimates and will take longer to complete.
The estimated cost of the streetcar extension to the riverfront has risen 27% and the completion date pushed back to early 2025. (Map | KC Streetcar Authority)
The estimated cost of the one-half mile extension has risen 27%, from $20.2 million to $25.7 million, and will not be ready until early 2025. The authority had once projected an early 2024 completion.
The downtown line also continues to lag in ridership because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ridership is down on average about 50% compared to 2019 before the pandemic hit.
The board also was given a brief overview of a potential streetcar extension to North Kansas City.
As for the 39th Street study, Gunnar Hand, director of planning for the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, said the United Government is interested in participating.
"East-west connections have eroded over time," Hand said. "We see this as an opportunity to strengthen our connections to Kansas City, Missouri."
Hand said that an eventual streetcar stop on Rainbow Avenue would be the preferred option. That would take the extension through the heart of the medical district that includes University of Kansas health care professional schools and KU Hospital.
Building an east-west streetcar route has long been discussed, but in the context of Kansas City proper, not KCK. An attempt to expand the streetcar both along Main and to the east via Linwood Boulevard and Independence Avenue was defeated by voters in 2014.
The proposed 39th Street and Linwood joint study effort will require funding support from the KC Streetcar Authority, UG, KU Med and the KC Area Transportation Authority.
Streetcar ridership remains about 50% below its pre-pandemic level. (Kevin Collison | CityScene)
The concept has the support of Mayor Quinton Lucas as well, according to the Streetcar Authority, but the city is not being asked to participate financially.
The Streetcar Authority board authorized spending $75,000, but on the condition a similar amount comes from the other partners.
Gerend also raised the possibility of the streetcar line being extended east from Main on Linwood as far as Prospect, but that concept would not be explored in the new joint study. Still, it was welcomed by authority board member Michael Collins.
"An east-west route is critical," Collins said. "It's important to get more people included in the streetcar."
Any plan to extend the route west on 39th Street would bring the streetcar into new territory, both geographically and technically. The street is narrower and less densely developed than the current downtown line and the planned extension on Main to the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
"If you've driven on West 39th and with a streetcar there, obviously something has to give," said board member David Johnson.
"The public involvement would have to be huge and we'll have to go to stakeholders where they are."
Should the other partners agree to fund the study, it would likely begin early next year and take about one year to complete. Gerend raised the possibility a 39th Street extension could begin initially as a Bus Rapid Transit line and later phased to a streetcar.

Sargon of Akkad
Translated text available in: French
Akkadian Ruler
Sumerophile (Public Domain)
Sargon of Akkad (r. 2334 - 2279 BCE) was the king of the Akkadian Empire of Mesopotamia, the first multi-national empire in history, who united the disparate kingdoms of the region under a central authority. He is equally famous today as the father of the great poet-priestess Enheduanna (l. 2285-2250 BCE), the first author known by name in history.
Sargon (also known as Sargon the Great, Shar-Gani-Sharri, and Sarru-Kan, meaning "True King" or "Legitimate King") was born an illegitimate son of a "changeling", which could refer to a temple priestess of the goddess Innana (whose clergy were androgynous) and, according to the Sargon Legend (a cuneiform clay tablet purporting to be his biography) never knew his father. His mother could not reveal her pregnancy or keep the child, and so he was set adrift by her in a basket on the Euphrates River where he was later found by a man named Akki who was a gardener for Ur-Zababa, the King of the Sumerian city of Kish. From this very humble beginning, Sargon would rise to conquer all Mesopotamia.
The Akkadian Empire was the first political entity to make extensive and efficient use of bureaucracy and administration on a large scale and set the standard for future rulers and kingdoms. His story was long known throughout Mesopotamia where, in time, he came to be considered the greatest man who had ever lived, celebrated in glorious tales down through the Persian Empire, along with his grand-son Naram-Sin.
The historian Paul Kriwaczek sums up the impact Sargon had on later generations in Mesopotamia, writing, "for at least 1,500 years after his death, Sargon the Great, founder of the Akkadian Empire, was regarded as a semi-sacred figure, the patron saint of all subsequent empires in the Mesopotamian realm" (111). Even so, where he came from and even his actual name are unknown.
Early Life & Rise to Power
`Sargon' was not the name given him at birth but the throne name he chose for himself. It is a Semitic, not Sumerian, name and so it is generally accepted that he was a Semite. Nothing certain is known of Sargon's birth or younger years. In fact, although his name was among the most famous in antiquity, he was unknown to the modern world until 1870 when the archaeologist Sir Henry Rawlinson published the Legend of Sargon which he had found in the library of Ashurbanipal while excavating Nineveh in 1867. The Legend of Sargon reads:
My mother was a changeling, my father I knew not,
The brother of my father loved the hills,
My home was in the highlands, where the herbs grow.
My mother conceived me in secret, she gave birth to me in concealment.
She set me in a basket of rushes,
She sealed the lid with tar.
She cast me into the river, but it did not rise over me,
The water carried me to Akki, the drawer of water.
He lifted me out as he dipped his jar into the river,
He took me as his son, he raised me,
He made me his gardener. (Bauer, 95)
Although his name was among the most famous in antiquity, Sargon was unknown to the modern world until 1870 CE.
Akki adopted the boy and raised him as his own son. Sargon rose in stature at court to become the king's cup bearer. The historian Susan Wise Bauer notes that, "ancient cupbearers were not merely butlers. The Sumerian inscriptions do not describe the cupbearer's duties, but in Assyria, not too long afterwards, the cupbearer was second only to the king" (97).
In his capacity as cupbearer, Sargon had the king's trust but this was put to the test when a neighboring king, Lugalzagesi or Umma, embarked on a military campaign of conquest in the region. Ancient Mesopotamia (like ancient Greece) was dotted with many small city-states all of whom fought one another over fertile territory and water.
Lugalzagesi of Umma marched his army through the region of Sumer and conquered the city-states one by one, uniting all of them under his authority. He would be the first Sumerian king to accomplish this to any great extent; and the last Sumerian king before the rise of Akkad. He seems to have earlier agreed to leave Kish alone but, after conquering Uruk, he decided to move on Kish. Bauer writes how, "Ur-Zababa, learning that the army of the conqueror was approaching his city, grew so frightened that he `sprinkled his legs'"(97). He had grown suspicious of Sargon and, although there seems to be no evidence that the cupbearer had given him cause, decided to send him to Lugalzagesi ostensibly with an offer for peace.
Whether Ur-Zababa actually included in the message anything about terms and conditions is not known; what is known is that message asked Lugalzagesi to kill Sargon upon receiving it. For whatever reason, Lugalzagesi refused to comply and instead invited Sargon to join him. Together, they marched on Kish and took the city easily. Ur-Zababa escaped and went into hiding.
Precisely what happened next is unclear owing to the many legends which grew up around Sargon's life and reign over the centuries. It is possible that he had an affair with Lugalzagesi's wife at this point or that he was sent on a mission which he turned into the first engagement of his own conquest of the region. Whatever happened between him and Lugalzagesi, they were as quickly antagonists as they had been allies.
Sargon marched on Uruk and took it. Lugalzagesi marched his army from Kish to meet Sargon in battle and was defeated. Sargon then put him in chains, tied a rope around his neck, and took him to the city of Nippur, sacred to the god Enlil upon whom Lugalzagesi had relied, and forced him to march in humiliation through the Enlil's gate. Sargon chose for himself the goddess Ishtar (Inanna) for his divine protector and, with both Ur-Zababa and Lugalzagesi out of the way, proclaimed himself king of Kish and swiftly subdued the region of Sumer.

Military Campaigns & Empire Building
When Sargon overthrew Lugalzagesi and seized power he gained an already united kingdom which he could use to advantage in military campaigns to establish the first empire over all of Mesopotamia. He may have been helped in this by his own legend which established his humble backgrounds. As in later ages and other cultures, up to the present day, class distinctions in the Sumerian cities had led to a growing resentment by the lower class for the upper elite. The wealthiest citizens were able to take as much land as they could hold and the lower classes routinely felt disenfranchised.
Sargon's tale of his humble beginnings as a gardener would have appealed to the large numbers of working-class Sumerians who may have seen him as a liberator and reformer. Directly after his rise to power, however, the city-states and their ruling elite hardly accepted Sargon with grace and submission; they rebelled against their new ruler, and forced him to prove his legitimacy as king through military might.
After conquering Sumer, he either built a new city or renovated an older one, Akkad (also known as Agade) on the banks of the Euphrates River. This was a complete break with precedent in that, previously, the king of an existing city conquered another for the glory of the home city and the resources which would now be available. Sargon, on the other hand, conquered for no city, only for himself and, once he had control of the area, then built his own city to enjoy the benefits of conquest. Not content with what he had accomplished thus far, he set out again on campaign. Bauer writes:
With the Mesopotamian plain under his control, Sargon set out to build an empire that stretched beyond Mesopotamia. He led these soldiers in campaign after campaign: `Sargon, the king of Kish,' reads one of his tablets, `triumphed in thirty-four battles.' He crossed the Tigris and seized land from the Elamites. He fought his way north to the city of Mari, which he captured, and then pushed even further into the land of another Semitic tribe, wilder and more nomadic than his own Akkadians: the Amorites, who ranged across the land west of the Caspian Sea. Campaigning up the Tigris, he reached and conquered the little northern city of Ashur... After this, he ranged even farther north and asserted his rule over the equally small city of Nineveh...Sargon may even have invaded Asia Minor. (101)
He may also have taken Cyprus and claims to have marched to the Mediterranean Sea and sent ships as far away as India for trade. He marched throughout Mesopotamia conquering one city-state after another and expanded his empire as far as Lebanon and the Taurus mountains of Turkey and then went even further. He instituted military practices of combining different types of fighting forces in looser formations (to enable greater mobility and adaptability on the field) which became standard down through the time of Alexander the Great. He swept across the land with his army until he had formed the formed the first empire in the world. Kriwaczek writes:
There had been Mesopotamian heroes before of course. The famous kings of early Uruk, like Gilgamesh and his father Lugalbanda, were the protagonists of a series of fantastical accounts and tales of outlandish deeds that became mainstays of the Sumerian literary canon and were copied and recopied inscribal schools and palace scriptoria for centuries, sometimes millennia. But they belong to the age of mythology rather than heroic legend; they told of intimate intercourse with the gods, battles with fearful monsters, the search for immortality and extraordinary other-worldly adventures. With the advent of Sargon, his sons and grandsons, the tales become, not necessarily more believable, but at least centred on the here-and-now of earthly life. (113)
Inscription of the Birth of King Sargon of Akkad

The Akkadian Empire
Forming an empire is one thing; but keeping it operating is quite another. Still, in administration, Sargon proved himself as capable as he was in military conquest. In order to maintain his presence throughout his empire, Sargon strategically placed his best and most trusted men in positions of power in the various cities. The "Citizens of Akkad", as a later Babylonian text calls them, were the governors and administrators in over 65 different cities.
One of his inscriptions reads: "From the sea above to the sea below, the sons of Akkad held the chiefdoms of his cities" and Bauer notes how, "In this kingdom, the Sumerians rapidly found themselves living as foreigners in their own cities...When Sargon took over a city, it became an Akkadian stronghold, staffed with Akkadian officials and garrisoned with Akkadian troops (99). Sargon's placement of trusted officials drew the various regions more closely under his control.
Sargon also cleverly placed his daughter, Enheduanna, as High Priestess of Inanna at Ur and, through her, seems to have able to manipulate religious, political, and cultural affairs from afar. Enheduanna is recognized today as the world's first writer known by name and, from what is known of her life, she seems to have been a very capable and powerful administrator in addition to her literary talents.
The stability provided by this empire gave rise to the construction of roads, improved irrigation, a wider sphere of influence in trade, as well as developments in arts and sciences. The Akkadian Empire created the first postal system where clay tablets inscribed in cuneiform Akkadian script were wrapped in outer clay envelopes marked with the name and address of the recipient and the seal of the sender. These letters could not be opened except by the person they were intended for because there was no way to open the clay envelope save by breaking it, thus ensuring privacy in correspondence.
Sargon also standardized weights and measures for use in trade and daily commerce, initiated a system of taxation which was fair to all social classes, and engaged in numerous building projects such as the restoration of Babylon (which, according to some sources, he founded - though this claim has been repeatedly challenged). He also created, trained, and equipped a full-time army - at least in the city of Akkad - where, as an inscription reads, 5400 soldiers "ate bread daily" with the king. While this does not seem to be the kind of professional army later created by the Assyrian king Tilgath Pileser III, (as it seems it was neither year-round nor kept in a near-constant state of mobilization) it was a great advance over the armies of the past filled by unwilling conscripts.
Even with these improvements to the lives of the citizens of Mesopotamia, the people still rebelled against Akkadian rule. Throughout his life Sargon would continue to encounter uprisings as city-states asserted their autonomy and rose against the empire. As the centuries passed, however, whatever difficulties they had with Sargon's rule were forgotten and all that was remembered were his heroic feats and the `golden age' of the Akkadians. For the next 3,000 years the Babylonians would tell tales of the kings who rose against Sargon of Akkad and of his glorious victories, citing Sargon's own words from his purported autobiography:
In my old age of 55, all the lands revolted against me, and they besieged me in Agade but the old lion still had teeth and claws, I went forth to battle and defeated them: I knocked them over and destroyed their vast army. Now, any king who wants to call himself my equal, wherever I went, let him go!
According to the Sumerian king list, Sargon reigned for 56 years and died in old age of natural causes. If he had seemed larger than life to his people during his reign, he assumed an almost god-like status in death. Kriwaczek writes:
Up until now, civilization based itself upon the belief that humanity was created by gods for their own purposes. The cities, the repositories of civilization, were divine foundations, having started, we guess, as sacred pilgrimage centres. Each city was the creation and home of a particular god. It is as if `real life' was the one lived by the gods in the divine realm while what went on down here on earth was a largely irrelevant sideshow. The age of Sargon and Naram-Sin altered all that, switched the focus to the human world, and introduced a new conception of the meaning of the universe: one that made people rather than gods the principal subjects of the Mesopotamian story. Humanity was now in control. Men - and women - became rulers of their own destiny. To be sure, people were still pious, still presented sacrifices to the temples, offered the libations, performed the rites, invoked the gods' names at every opportunity. But the piety of the age now had a quite different flavour. (119)

Legend & Legacy
The legends which grew up around Sargon and his dynasty were still being written, copied, and performed in the last days of the Assyrian Empire (612 BCE) and the famous copper head of Sargon (found at Nineveh in 1931, making clear his importance to the Assyrians) is one of the most instantly recognizable works of Mesopotamian art. The story of the baby set forth in a basket on the river, who is found by nobility and grows up to be a great leader of his people, was used to great effect by the Hebrew scribe who borrowed it to write the biblical Book of Exodus and the story of the hero Moses.
Sargon's story is the tale of the hero who rises from obscure beginnings to save his people. Whether he was seen as this kind of savior by those who lived under his reign is doubtful considering the number of rebellions he had to put down but to those who came after him, those who lived under the occupation of the Gutians (described by scholar Samuel Noah Kramer as demoralizing, destructive, and "a ruthless, barbaric hoarde"), he and his dynasty represented the glorious age of hero-kings which was now gone.
The tales of Sargon are thought to have inspired the Sumerians to rise up and throw off the oppressive Gutian rule in c. 2046 BCE. Under the Sumerian kings Utu-Hegal and Ur-Nammu, the Gutians were driven from Sumer which allowed for the flourishing of the so-called Sumerian Renaissance (2047-1750 BCE). The great Sumerian kings of the Ur III Period, Ur-Nammu (reigned 2047-2030 BCE) and Shulgi of Ur (reigned 2029-1982 BCE) both patterned their public images after those of Sargon and Naram-Sin.
After Sargon's death, the empire passed to his son Rimush, who was forced to endure what his father had and put down the rebellions which contested his legitimacy. Rimush reigned for nine years and, when he died, the kingship passed to Sargon's other son, Manishtusu who ruled for the next fifteen years. Though both sons ruled well, the height of the Akkadian Empire was realized under Sargon's grandson, Naram-Sin. During his reign, the empire grew and flourished beyond the boundaries even Sargon had attained. After his death, his son Shar-Kali-Sharri became ruler and, at this time, the empire began to unravel as city-states broke away to form their own independent kingdoms.
Shar-Kali-Sarri waged almost continual war against the Elamites, the Amorites and the invading Gutians while trying to hold the empire together but, finally, it fell apart. The Gutian Invasion has been most commonly credited with the collapse of the Akkadian Empire and the Mesopotamian dark age which ensued and this was certainly the view of later Mesopotamian writers who portrayed the Gutians as destroyers of civilization.
Recent studies, however, suggest that it was most likely climate change which caused a famine and, perhaps, disruption in trade, weakening the empire to the point where the type of invasions and rebellions which were easily met and put down in the past could no longer be managed as effectively. Famine is alluded to in a later work known as The Curse of Agade (written c. 2047-1750 BCE) which tells of the destruction of Akkad by the will of the gods. Whether famine, invasion, the wrath of the gods, or all three, the city of Akkad fell, the great kings were gone, and the empire passed into the legends which would be told, re-told, written, and copied until the stories of what once was became all that was left of the Akkadian Empire of Sargon the Great.

SamMobile reports that Samsung launched a new 'secret' project code-named Project Valley (or Project V) that is a dual-screen device, probably a foldable phone.
We've seen some false reports from SamMobile before, but we've also seen some accurate ones. This one actually makes sense, and isn't really a surprise - Samsung has been promising a foldable phone towards the end of 2015 for almost two years now. Following the success of the GS6 Edge, it's highly likely that Samsung is developing mobile devices with even more innovative designs.
A foldable phone that opens up into a tablet may be a very useful device that may shake-up the entire mobile market, as it will truly converge two popular devices (phones and tablets) into a single device.


In the 120 years since the death of Charles Darwin (1809-1882), the English naturalist's lasting contribution to our understanding of Nature and of ourselves-natural selection-has been rejoiced and reviled, reformulated by some and rejected outright by others. While the mechanics of evolution by natural selection are far from being wholly understood even today, Darwin's impact on how the late 19th century saw-and sometimes defended-itself is undeniable. The task remains, however, to fully unveil the visual impact of Darwinism's renewed construction of self. PART, the online journal of the Art History Department of The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, is planning a special issue devoted to the notion of Art After Darwin, guest edited by Brian Edward Hack. PART is seeking art historical papers dealing with the late 19th- and early 20th-century visual implications of Darwinism following the publications of On the Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871). Art-related articles on Natural Selection, Genetics and Heredity, Ernst Haeckel's Monism, Spiritual Darwinism, Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy, Eugenics and Social Darwinism, Non-secular imagery in relation to Darwinism, Organic Architecture, Expressions and Emotion, Degeneration and Regeneration, and any other issues involving art's relationship to the biological sciences of the period are welcome. All students, recent graduates, and professionals of all disciplines are invited to submit articles, reviews, and practice articles (check submission guidelines to find out what your submission should be in).
Submissions for Art After Darwin should be mailed to: Brian Edward Hack, Art Department, Kingsborough Community College, 2001 Oriental Boulevard, Brooklyn, New York, 11235. Deadline for Submissions has been extended to JULY 31, 2003.
Hardcopies of the guidelines are available in the student lounge of the Art History Department of the CUNY Graduate Center or on the PART website (http://dsc.gc.cuny.edu/part/). Please note: incomplete submissions will be returned to the author at the author's expense. Please review the guidelines and the checklist carefully. Please do not call The Graduate Center Art Department office for information regarding PART. If you have any question about the Art after Darwin issue, please contact Brian Edward Hack directly at [email protected]. If you have suggestions for PART in general, or would like to get involved and join the PART editorial team, contact the managing editor, Caterina Pierre, at [email protected].
