Q: Use Shopify/draggable with Alpine.js x-for directive I'm trying to make the sortable plugin from Shopify working with Alpine.js but when I drag and drop the items, it generate the error in the console

"Alpine Error: 'ReferenceError: framework is not defined'
Expression: 'framework'
Element: "
springs

Here's a reproducible example
https://codepen.io/cbaconnier/pen/bGgxyWE?editors=1011

  <template x-for="framework in frameworks" :key="framework">

  </template>

I know there's some homemade dragable/sortable that have been done with Alpine.js but since I'm already using it with Livewire on this project and some other, it would be nice to also make it works.

A: Even though I would like to keep Shopify/draggable I have resigned to use SortableJS/Sortable that seems to works quit well.

  <template x-for="framework in frameworks" :key="framework">

Police say man who stabbed Hong Kong actor is schizophrenic

BEIJING (AP) — Police in southern China said the man who stabbed veteran Hong Kong actor Simon Yam at an event suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.
A 53-year-old man, surnamed Chen, was detained following the attack in the Zhongshan Huoju Development Zone in Guangdong province, police said Saturday evening.
Chen rushed the stage and stabbed the 64-year-old actor with a fruit knife during an opening celebration for a business venue where Yam was invited to speak.
Yam underwent a minor operation at a hospital in Zhongshan city, his manager Lester Mo said.
"He was stabbed in the tummy area and also got a cut on his right hand," Mo said. He was still being treated for injuries to the four fingers of his right hand.
Yam, who is also known by his Chinese name Yam Tat-wah, has appeared in more than 125 movies and 40 television series. He played the villain Chen Lo in the 2003 Hollywood film "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life."
Actor Wilson Cruz says a new documentary on the evolution of LGBTQ depictions on television is a "love letter" to the medium's power.
It's also a testament to how LGBTQ people and their allies harnessed TV to tell the community's stories, said Cruz, who along with actor-comedian Wanda Sykes was an executive producer for "Visible: Out on Television." The five-part documentary will be released Feb. 14 on the new Apple TV Plus streaming service.

Coronavirus: A guide to The Health Protection Regulations 2020
The Government has already passed a statutory instrument named The Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020 and is now looking to pass emergency legislation with a draft bill likely to be announced today. This could easily affect your ability to run your business as we all attempt to support one another in these difficult times.
The Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations will permit the Secretary of State, or a public health official, to detain and isolate any suspected individuals, or groups, considered to present a risk of spreading the virus. If necessary, the police can be used to enforce this order.
Any failure to cooperate with public health professionals will contravene these regulations and can result in enforced detention. Where necessary a police officer can use reasonable force and convey individuals (including children) to either a hospital, their home or another suitable facility. Prosecutions under these Regulations it will be dealt with in the Magistrates Court and could lead to a criminal record and a fine up to £1000.
How does COIVD-19 affect my business?
These Regulations are wide-ranging and could easily affect the movement of employees who have been asked to attend work premises to keep your business moving.
The Regulations may be interpreted widely enough to suspend any group gatherings, which could include your workforce, for any activity that is not deemed essential.
The Regulations do contain provisions for appeals to the Magistrates Court if the authorities make an error in judgment, so employers will have to be ready to help employees to challenge decisions given the fast-changing and unprecedented circumstances at play. The purpose of the Regulations is clearly to stop risky people movements which could jeopardise public health, so a lot will depend on the first interaction between the individual and the authorities.
The draft Coronavirus Bill, in its current form, will give wide-ranging powers to UK Border Force. This includes the ability to suspend operations at airports and ports across the country. Any business that relies on imports/exports for either supplies or to get products to market is likely to be affected by this legislation.
If you feel that your business or your employees may be affected by this legislation, please do not hesitate to contact our experts on the details below to discuss your concerns and help your business through this crisis.

Q: How does Nuxt generate static html from markdown file? This is most solution I found:
/// nuxt.config.js

export default {
  ......
  generate: {
    routes: fs.readdirSync('markdownDir').map(filename => {
      return {
        route: `/articles/${path.basename(filename, '.md')}`,
        content: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve('markdownDir', filename))
      }
    })
  },
}

/// _articleDetail.vue

<template>

</template>

It will generate all Html with article id,but those Html file dosen't contains the real markdown content.It's just like:
......

(I need markdown content here,Not by js!)

/_nuxt/844cb81.js has the real markdown content! I think it's will be bad in SEO.
So I want a solution that can directly generate html that contains origin markdown content.

A: Figured out,I have made a mistake.
all NuxtLink that points to article-detail page must be wrote in static,that means you can't write them like:
// the `loading` default is true

    loading...

    <NuxtLink v-for='id in idList' :to="'/article/'+id"/>

Seems that Nuxt have compiled .vue file in generating static routes,and only invoked asyncData() function,use default data to compile.

LGBT History Month: Lest we forget
February marks LGBT History Month in the United Kingdom. Let's not forget, then, that it was only in the early 2000s that employment laws regarding sexual orientation and gender identity began to evolve to where they are today.
LGBT History Month is a month-long annual observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, and the history of gay rights and related civil rights movements. It is observed annually in the United Kingdom to coincide with the abolition, in February 2003, of Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 which previously made it unlawful for local authorities to:
intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality; and
promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship.
It is also observed in the United States of America and other LGBT-progressive countries, and has been celebrated in the United Kingdom since February 2005, all with the intention of raising awareness of and combatting prejudice against what has been described as an otherwise substantially invisible minority.
In the employment context: historically
Historically, equal protection for LGBT people in the workplace was a very different story to where it is today. It was not until the Human Rights Act 1998 came into force in 2000 that employment protection for gay and lesbian people really started to develop. Prior to that, the European Court of Justice in Grant v South West Trains Ltd¸ and the Court of Appeal in Smith v Gardner Merchant, had held that the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 did not cover discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, meaning that sexual orientation was a justifiable ground for discrimination in the workplace. At that time, the United Kingdom also had a policy of excluding gay and lesbian people from the armed forces.
Case law, subsequent developments in public policy and the then government's consultation in relation to new anti-discrimination laws were instrumental in the creation and implementation of the Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003. These regulations came into effect in December 2003 and have since been replaced by the provisions of the Equality Act 2010, which consolidated all the many pieces of discrimination law within England and Wales, and came into force in October 2010.
From a gender identity perspective, similarly it was not until the very late 90s, with the passing of the Sex Discrimination (Gender Reassignment) Regulations 1999 (which amended the Sex Discrimination Act 1975), that any form of employment protection was afforded to transgender people. Such a thankful change in law was attributable to the European Court of Justice's decision in P v S and Cornwall County Council, which confirmed that the right not to be discriminated on the ground of sex should be extended to the right not to be discriminated because of circumstances arising out of gender reassignment; the decision to dismiss an employee on the ground that they intended to undergo, or had undergone, gender reassignment was to treat them unfavourably by comparison with persons of the sex to which they were deemed to belong before their gender reassignment.
In the employment context: today
Fortunately, most employers nowadays understand the need to comply with equality laws and workplace diversity is now accepted as a positive aim, with acknowledged business benefits. However, such a positive position depends upon a number of factors, including organisational culture, management practices, interpersonal relationships, awareness, respect and support. Most importantly though, discrimination, whether because of sexual orientation or otherwise, and in all of its guises, must be banished.
Today, the Equality Act 2010 prohibits direct sexual orientation discrimination, indirect sexual orientation discrimination, sexual orientation harassment and victimisation in the workplace, for both job applicants and those in employment (under a contract of employment, a contract of apprenticeship or a contract personally to do work). Similar protection is also afforded in the area of gender reassignment, for those who are proposing to undergo, is undergoing or has undergone a process (or part of a process) for the purpose of reassigning the person's sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex. In particular it is unlawful for an employer to:
discriminate directly by treating a job applicant or employee less favourably because of gender reassignment;
discriminate by treating an employee less favourably in relation to absences from work because of gender reassignment;
discriminate indirectly by applying a provision, criterion or practice that disadvantages transsexual job applicants or employees without objective justification;
subject a job applicant or employee to harassment related to gender reassignment, to harassment of a sexual nature, or to less favourable treatment because they reject or submit to harassment;
victimise a job applicant or employee because they have made or intend to make a discrimination complaint, or because they have done or intend to do other things in connection with the Equality Act 2010, such as raise complaints or grievances concerning their gender identity or their transitioning status.
Moving forward: continuous improvement
Diversity and openness in the workplace should be recognised, celebrated and promoted, not just through February each year but always. Employers should adopt a number of best practice initiatives, including:
committing themselves to promote equal opportunities in employment, regardless of LGBT status (as well as age, disability, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief and sex);
having in place equal opportunities and LGBT-supportive policies to ensure inclusion and the avoidance of discrimination in the workplace, and that these policies apply to all stages of the employment lifecycle, including recruitment, pay and benefits, terms and conditions, promotion and the termination of employment;
fostering LGBT-supportive workplace environments to ensure a more engaged workforce. Respect and acceptance throughout are key;
implementing diversity, culture and unconscious bias training, which will enable a more systematic and structured approach to the sharing of knowledge and awareness of the importance of diversity and inclusion;
establishing an LGBT employee network, allowing visibility and awareness;
having in place sufficient grievance policies and procedures for dealing with any complaints of discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation where such matters arise. Employees should be able to feel confident that their complaint will be dealt with seriously and that the process will be undertaken in confidence where appropriate;
having an open and tolerant mind to the wide and diverse workforce in society; failure to do so could result in missed opportunities to attract talent or the inability to retain good staff;
making conscious efforts to reassure staff of confidentiality of procedures and ensure that personal information is maintained in confidence. While some people are comfortable speaking about their LGBT status others are not; and
considering the use of an equal opportunities questionnaire as part of a recruitment exercise or an annual review process. Some people do see the inclusion of such questions as an indication of an employer's positive attitude towards equal opportunities.
Such LGBT-supportive policies will only go towards fostering a more engaged and productive workforce and employees having greater job satisfaction.
Employers are therefore encouraged to use February (but not only February), as a stepping stone at least, to promote not only LGBT History Month but celebrate their diverse workforces and all of their existing LGBT-supportive policies (and extend them wherever necessary). The aim is to properly raise awareness and combat any and all prejudice in this area. With commitment from the top, the LGBT population should never again be considered to be an invisible minority.

Making An Az Of Himself
March 18th, 2009 by Esther Inglis-Arkell | Tags: battle for the cowl, DC comics
Azrael is the member of the Batsquad I know least about. He was long gone, continuity-wise, by the time I started reading comics. The first issue of the new Azrael: Death's Dark Knight didn't make me regret that one bit.
It's not that the book is bad. It's just that I don't care for Azrael. I can't exactly pin down why. The guy's self-righteous, yes, but self-righteousness is Batman's stock in trade. And yes, he does go crazy and try to kill people pretty regularly, but Superman does that as well. Azrael actually succeeds in killing people, but of course, that's what the Secret Six do and I love them. That's what back-from-the-dead Jason Todd does, and I like him.
That's right. Old Azrael ranks below Jason Todd in the Bat hierarchy.

Man, I don't really know. I always thought his hallucinations of St. Dumas was pretty cool. The saint of Azrael's sect would show up in his visions and basically tell him how worthless he was before vanishing again, basically ruining Azrael's day.
by Dane March 18th, 2009 at 23:37 --reply
I like that he was in one of the worst-conceived Batman stories ever, and has had maybe two entire issues of combined middling to average quality over his entire existence!
I dunno about the new guy. I like that he's the Third Batman, but I don't know if I want to read the comic.
by david brothers March 18th, 2009 at 23:50 --reply
The original Azreal was awkwardly moved into position to basically be the darker, more Image-influenced Batman that folks in the mid-90s thought they wanted. His entire character was based around that premise and when they tried to spin him off as his own character after the fact they realized they'd failed to make him interesting. Only reason he lasted as long was because the then-Bat Editor was writing him.
Haven't read it, bhe premise of the new one seems to be taking two of the ideas from Morrison's Batman run (the last of the three Batcops and the cursed suit of armor from the Ressurection of Ras Al Ghul) and combining them. That right?
Kinda fitting, another "Dark Batman" taking up the mantle of Azreal. But I see it's written by Fabian Nicenza, which will mean the worst kind of continuity wank.

Other than that I got nothing.

The reason I liked Az was he was the blatant Batman fuck up. Batman came back and took the cowl from him and basically said "of my bad I guess it was stupid of me to ask you the stand in for me, you being a naive young adult with now life experience who has been brainwashed since birth to be an unthinking killing machine. I was supposed to help you not kill people. Well here's a couple of million in a swiss bank account, why don't you go find yourself away from Gotham" That basically was the premise of the first half of his series. He meet Ra Al Ghul, found out he was part monkey, meet is mom, fought the Order again and came close to kissing a girl. it went down hill when the quake crossover happened and he had to be tied to the Bat universe again. They introduced Nichals Sctrach who was supposed to be his Joker I guess. Scratch sucked but after that not bad he was in Gotham, Batman told him to fetch and he did, but then O'neil left new writer came in they decided to move him away from Gotham but never really came up with a valid reason so the end of the series was basically him outside of town slowly going crazy fighting the ghost of St. Dumas which was a plot point that was handled in the first part of the book. Really bad stuff, and when I say he went nowhere in the last couple of issues he really went nowhere.
I like Az for the same reason I like Tim Dick and Cass, They're apart of the Bat-Family. Batman need a Robin and to some extent they all fill this roll. I like the beginning when they're still new to the fold and Batman shows up in every issue to say you're doing good or you missed that,then slowly but surely they're out on they're own. But invetiably there comes an editorial manadate to make so and so they're own character. Tim moves to Keystone City. Dick gets his own city. So on and so forth. But with Az and the rest of them, after leaving Gotham, you're just Batman lite and a city that isn't a degenerate cesspool, and they become redundant.
Some people make the arguement that Gotham city doesn't need a whole Bat family to keep it safe, but looking at battle for the Cowl speaks differently.
by Tekkamansol March 19th, 2009 at 07:26 --reply
@Tekkamansol:
"The reason I liked Az was he was the blatant Batman fuck up."
Well, yes, I can see that. Stephanie Brown is my Bat fuck up of choice, though. I don't need another blond wannabe.
Battle for the Cowl seems to make the point that Gotham needs Batman, not a whole group. The minute Batman seems to be absent everything goes to hell, no matter how many other vigilantes are around.
by Esther Inglis-Arkell March 19th, 2009 at 12:58 --reply
That is true, Gotham need Batman, but Batman needs his crew. Well maybe it's a stretch but his crew is better when working with Batman. The beginning of the batgirl series where she's constantly trying to prove herself and Batman and Oracle awlays show up to tell her she's doing okay. From there you have Tim you proved to be capable on his on to the point where Batman is just there to show his still in Gotham but need not say anything about the way he operates. Azrael didn't get that chance until the very end because when he got his series they tried to distance him as far away from batman as possible. But when he finally got the "Agent of the Bat" tilte he was still capable. he wasn't Tim or Dick but that's why he was Azrael. Then Denny left and they just got rid of him terribly.
I like Spoiler too, I even liked her as Robin for a bit, but the one thing I always saw that writers did with her was make her stupid. Not an idiot but make it seem like she really didn't get why the work the bat family does is important. It was just stupid fun without ramafications. I think that's why people didn't like her. You'd have Tim and Bats saying this isn't a game and she just didn't get it. Also the issue where Batman stops her from being Robin after she has a run in with Zsasz and she trys to seriously hurt him to get away was weak.
It was like she was setup to fail, which of course she was so we could get War games, but still she didn't receive half the train Jason, Dick, or Tim got from Bats, so of course she won't be up to his standards.
Just like Huntress and Azrael.
Like an earlier commentator, I dug his costume (although in my case I'm talking about the old, original (?) one).
by West March 19th, 2009 at 14:44 --reply
Hm…too soon to tell. Wasn't planning to pick it up, but once I started reading it at the shop, I did get into it. Now I just want to know what happens next. Not sure it'd work as a monthly, but for a mini about the Third Batman, I am curious to see what becomes of him. I did find the scene funny when he's like, "Lose the bat symbol" and everyone just stutters a response in surprise to do what he wants. "Could it have been That was easy?" "And should we worry?" lol, Dunno much about the first Azrael beyond a few descriptions from people, but this new one is a lot more assertive than the first one.
Probably cuz I'm Catholic, but I am curious to see what they spin off from the "Dark Knight of God" angle here. I wasn't around during the first Azrael series nor was I around before the Huntress joined the Birds of Prey, so I haven't read of any characters that were motivated or influenced by their religion. I'm surprised Lane is catholic (or something like it), but whatever he is, the guy's definitely got a religious spin on him. More than anything, I'm just curious to see what Nicieza will do with regards to that. I had read an interview sometime ago where he said the book would have a Code of Da Vinci feel to it. My morbid curiosity wishes to see how badly this will go. The book does have all the signs of "wow, this is a bad idea that's gonna explode in everyone's faces in the worst way possible." lol, color me intrigued now.

This. This is why Jean-Paul is the best Bat-family member. He's a part-monkey raised by relious zealots who uses a sword made of fire. Awesome. Bring back Monkey-Bat!

created by Denny O'Neil
never checked out his solo series so that's all I got
by Nathan March 27th, 2009 at 00:14 --reply
Funnily, Azrael was one of my favorite heroes and I was annoyed that Denny O Neil supposedly killed him off in one of the crappiest cliffhangers ever-we were never told what became of his body.
To complicate things, we now have a new Azrael with no mention of the original one. I hope that the new guy will be interesting but I would have prefered if they brought back the original one and tell what became of him all this time. Perhaps maybe Jean Paul will return as either an ally or foil of Michael Lane.

This is a very powerful, strong word of warning to the Body of Christ, which God gave to me the other day. I have prayed over this fervently before sharing it in a video. Please pay attention. Please pray. And above all else, please repent!
If I appear nervous in this video, it is because I am. This is outside of my 'norm' and not something I normally do. Also, please share this so others can be warned as well. We haven't much time left!

I am hoping to find descendants of the family of John Hawksley (born about 1779; died 1857). He was a hairdresser in Nottingham. I am writing a book on his son, Edward John Hawksley (born 1807 or 1808), who emigrated from Nottingham in 1838 to Sydney, Australia, where he had a notable career in journalism and municipal government. Edward John Hawksley had siblings, one of whom was named Mary. Unfortunately, I have no portrait of Edward John Hawksley, and no copies of his correspondence with his Nottingham family. Edward John Hawksley died in Fiji in 1875.
I would like to discover more about this Hawksley family in Nottingham in the 18th and 19th centuries. I know that before he left Nottingham, Edward John Hawksley published a book of his poems, that he married Ann Bramley in 1832, that he served in the British Legion in the First Carlist (Spanish) War between 1835 and 1837, and that he converted to Roman Catholicism from Unitarianism. He probably taught in Nottingham schools, and contributed to the 'Nottingham Review'.
I would be most grateful for any leads you may be able to give me about this family, or better still, the address of any of its descendants. My email address is terry@terry-irving

FRIENDS & ASSOCIATES - 26 ORIGINAL FAKES. 2017.
Friends & Associates focuses on camaraderie in the Australian contemporary design discipline. With an interest in the possibilities of new knowledge, new design methods and approaches through collaboration, Friends & Associates looks to solidarity as the cornerstone in contemporary production.
Realised as a series of exhibitions and collaborative production outcomes Friends & Associates is an ongoing process-based project initiated by Dale Hardiman and Tom Skeehan launched in 2017.
26 ORIGINAL FAKES looks to the uncertified replica in contemporary Australian design practice to reconsider the value of the copy in both the creative & commercial markets.
Friends & Associates in collaboration with The National Gallery of Victoria invites the following 25 contemporary Australian designers to reconfigure and exhibit an existing replica design as a way to deconstruct how the design object is valued. Questioning how replica furniture draws focus to issues of authenticity, creative practice and the commercial market, the first realisation of Friends & Associates takes the theme 'Design Values' to consider how the design community can hack and reevaluate the replica.
Each participant was given a replica Jasper Morrison HAL Wood Chair. The original HAL Wood Chair was designed in 2010/2011, and is manufactured by VITRA in Switzerland. The HAL Wood Chair is now available as a replica from 10+ companies in Australia at varying price points, with the manufacturers origins unknown.

Q: Launch TexnicCenter from Mingw64 without starting multiple instances? I am using Git with Mingw64 under Windows 10, but I am new to Git/Linux/bash.
I would like to define a texniccenter command in the Mingw64 interpreter so that if I type
texniccenter my_file.tex

my_file.tex will open in the running instance of TexnicCenter if there is one, or in a new one if no instance is running. Based on an answer to Command to open file with git, I have created a file called texniccenter with the following content
#!/bin/sh
"C:\Program Files\TeXnicCenter\TeXnicCenter.exe" "$1" &

and I have saved it to "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin". This works fine, but starts a new instance of TexnicCenter every time. I have read that I have to use command-line option /ddecmd to prevent TexnicCenter from starting a new instance, but I am not sure where to put it in the above command. I have tried many combinations of quotes and slashes/backslashes to escape the slash in /ddecmd, but nothing has worked so far.
In case this matters, I am asking this question because I would like to configure Git to use TexnicCenter to show the content of a file from a specified commit. Based on an answer to https://superuser.com/questions/772269/how-can-i-pipe-console-output-directly-to-notepad, I would like to type
git show a_branch_name:my_file.tex | clip && texniccenter

but I have to define texniccenter first.

The Anti-Seismic Monument or Tangshan Earthquake Monument  is located in the eastern part of the center square in Tangshan City, and the Tangshan Earthquake Memorial Hall museum is on the western part of the square. The Monument Square measures 320 m long from east to west and 170 m wide from south to north, covering an area of 5.4 hectares. It is a monument to the city's dauntless spirit.

Description
The Anti-Seismic Monument is composed of main monument and a secondary monument. The main monument tells the heroic stories of earthquake relief. The secondary monument describes the history of the Tangshan earthquake in the form of ruins. The monument's pedestal is 3 m high and the body is 30 m high.

The body is composed by four trapezoidal pillars. The pillars symbolize the buildings which collapsed during the earthquake and the new architecture which soars above the horizon. The top of the pillars resembles four huge hands reaching the sky and symbolizing that "Mankind Can Conquer Nature." The four sides of monument's body include eight engravings which symbolize the support Tangshan received from other parts of China. The monument body is reinforced concrete, and the surface is granite. In the center is a frontispiece with the words "Tangshan Earthquake Monument," written by Hu Yaobang.

Das Fischerhäusl in Linz ist eines der ältesten Gebäude des früheren Fischerdorfes Alt-Urfahr und wurde 1642 erbaut.

Der Kern des Hauses stammt aus dem frühen 16. Jahrhundert. Gotische Fensterelemente und Gebäudeteile im Stil der Renaissance weisen auch heute noch darauf hin.

Im 19. Jahrhundert diente das direkt am Fluss gelegene Gebäude als Zollstation für die Donau. Zur Zeit des Jahrhunderthochwassers im Jahr 1954 gehörte das Gebäude der Konditor-Familie Stiftinger-Hoffelner und wurde dann einige Jahrzehnte lang als Lokal geführt.

Das Haus ist Eigentum der Stadtgemeinde Linz. Im April 2002 wurde der Gastronomiebetrieb nach dringend notwendig gewordenen Renovierungen unter neuem Betreiber wieder eröffnet. Das Haus war mit einem Aufwand von rund 654.000 Euro innerhalb eines halben Jahres saniert und grundlegend modernisiert worden. Nur vier Monate später, im August, richtete jedoch das große Hochwasser erheblichen Schaden an, für dessen Behebung mit 220.000 Euro erneut ein größerer Betrag ausgegeben wurde.

Thomas Wilson Steen was an educator, administrator, minister, and psychologist.
Early Life, Early Education, and Marriage
Thomas Wilson Steen was born on April 12, 1887, in Washington County, Iowa, United States of America. He was the son of Samuel Britton Steen and Emma Cooper Steen,1 who gave him a religious upbringing.2 His parents learned of Adventism through his maternal grandmother, Mary Jane Cooper (1833-1919), who had joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1858.3
Thomas completed his elementary studies at Stuart Academy in Iowa, USA. He began working for the SDA Church before he obtained his college degree, teaching from 1906-1907 at a newly established church school in Iron River, Michigan, USA.4 In 1910, he graduated from Emmanuel Missionary College (now Andrews University). That same year, he married Margaret Mallory, who graduated one year earlier from the same college and remained as a piano and Latin teacher.5 Thomas and Margaret had two girls, Rebekah6 and Ramira.7 Margaret worked alongside her husband in the educational field8 as a language and music teacher at Fox River Academy from 1910-19129 and at Adelphian Academy until 1918, when she moved with her husband to Brazil,10 taught piano and organ, and directed the music department at Brazil College (now UNASP-SP).11
Academy Director and College Administrator
Thomas Steen served as dean, treasurer, and teacher at Fox River Academy from 1910-1912,12 where he taught English, science,13 and history.14 He then served as director of Adelphian Academy in Michigan, USA, from 1913-1918.15 In both places, he dedicated his efforts to the structural and physical growth of the institutions.16 In 1918, his ministry changed as he accepted to go beyond his homeland and become the director of the newly-founded Adventist Seminary in São Paulo, Brazil (now UNASP-SP).17 Steen was the second to occupy that position, replacing the pioneer, John Lipke.18
In 1919, under Steen's administration, the theology program was reorganized. Up to that year, the program could not be recognized as a college degree because of the general nature of the curriculum's courses. As part of the restructuring of the curriculum, the theology degree launched as an official college degree, resulting in the Seminary's first graduation in 1922.19 At the same time, the college experienced an expansion and the construction of several new installations, such as the director's house, houses for workers, a new wing in the girl's dormitory,20 a laundry room, a bakery, a dairy farm,21 a woodworking shop, a dining room, and a kitchen.22 Additionally, Steen officiated the first Adventist Seminary Church baptism on December 27, 1919, with Pastor John Boehm.23
Ordination to the Ministry and Establishment of the James White Library
The time in which Steen was a director became essential to his future career. Having demonstrated his multiple managerial skills, he was entrusted with the management of two additional schools in the USA and three in South America.24 In 1928, the family returned to the USA. Steen directed Broadview College in Illinois, USA, from 1928-193425 and received his ordination to the ministry in January 1929.26
In addition, Steen completed his master's degree at Northwestern University 27 with a dissertation titled, "Commercial Industries in Private Schools and Colleges."28 Steen was the director of the Emmanuel Missionary College from 1934-1937.29 One of his main administrative achievements at the college was the building of the James White Library in 1936 as part of the institutional development plan.30
Higher Education, College President, and Psychologist
In 1939, he finished his doctorate degree at the University of Chicago31 with a thesis titled, "The Vocational Choices of Students Whose Religious Beliefs Limit Their Occupational Opportunities."32 He also enrolled in post-doctorate studies at the following institutions: Western Reserve University, Duke University, University of Tennessee, George Peabody College for Teachers, and Claremont Graduate School. Steen also majored in psychology and school administration at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. From 1939 on, he devoted a considerable amount of time to counseling and mental assessments.33
From 1939-1940, he worked as president of Washington Missionary College in Maryland, USA.34 He was then invited to serve in South America again, this time as president of River Plate College, Argentina, from 1940-1944. He also served as the director of Uruguay Adventist Academy from 1944-1945 and of Inca Union College in 1945, during which he taught several courses.35 In 1946, he returned to the USA to serve as president of Madison College in Tennessee until 1948. From then until 1955, he directed the departments of education and psychology at Southern Missionary College, Tennessee.
Steen devoted more time near the end of his career to the practice of psychology. In 1955, he joined Dr. Henry Adren, a psychiatrist at Washington D.C. Sanitarium, and worked as a clinical psychologist from 1955-1956. The following year, he transferred to Miller Medical Clinic in Pomona, California, while running his psychologist's office near his home in Loma Linda, California.36
Retirement and Contribution
In 1967, Dr. Thomas Wilson Steen retired due to eyesight failure.37 Steen and his wife moved to Loma Linda, where they lived until 1974. He then spent the last four years of his life in Berrien Springs, Michigan, where he lived with his daughter, Rebekah.38
Thomas Wilson Steen died at age 91 on November 29, 1978, in Pawating Hospital in Niles, Michigan, U.S.A., and was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery.39 In over 50 years of service to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, he significantly contributed to the field of education by teaching at and directing important Adventist educational institutions in South America and the United States of America.

Орвие́то () — город в Италии, на юго-западе региона Умбрия. Расположен на плоской вершине туфового останца вулканического происхождения.

Покровителем коммуны почитается святой Иосиф Обручник, празднование 19 марта.

Является членом движения «Медленный город».

История

Период этрусков
Античный город () был основан во времена этрусков и зачастую связывается с этрусским городом Велзна (Волсиния). Орвието был одним из важнейших центров этрусской цивилизации; входил в этрусский союз.

Римский период
Орвието был захвачен римлянами в III веке до нашей эры. После падения Римской империи город приобрёл особое значение: туда был переведён из Больсены , город удерживался готами и лангобардами до установления городского самоуправления (коммуны) в X веке. Связь города с папской властью была тесной, в X веке папа Бенедикт VII вместе с племянником Филиппо Альберичи посетил Орвието. Позднее, в 1016 году Альберичи поселился в городе и стал его .

Средневековый город
С 1201 года город имел самоуправление во главе с подеста. Три семьи играли важную роль в городе: Мональдески, Филипески и Альберичи. До наших дней сохранилась лишь семья Альберичи. Город стал одним из культурных центров, когда Фома Аквинский преподавал в местном университете (студиуме). Ныне в городе действует филиал университета Перуджи.

Папская территория
Город несколько столетий находился под папским контролем, а в 1860 году вошёл в состав объединённой Италии.

Достопримечательности города

Дуомо

Орвието славится своим готическим кафедральным собором. Точное название: Соборная базилика Вознесения Девы Марии () — римско-католическая базилика, посвящённая Вознесению Мадонны; ( — «Вознесённая»).

Проектирование собора приписывалось Арнольфо ди Камбио, однако в последнее время считается, что собор построен монахом Фра Бевиньяте из Перуджи. Сооружение началось в 1290 году. Украшенный мозаикой и барельефами фасад считается одним из шедевров позднего Средневековья, также следует отметить скульптуры работы Лоренцо Маитани (XIV век). Внутри собора в капелле Мадонны ди Сан-Брицио имеются фрески Фра Беато Анджелико и Луки Синьорелли на тему Апокалипсиса (1499—1502). В 1840-х годах собор реставрировали русские архитекторы А. И. Резанов, Н. Л. Бенуа и А. И. Кракау.

Папская резиденция

Долгое время город являлся папской территорией. Папа Бонифаций VIII был родом из Орвието и подарил свою статую для размещения на главных городских воротах. Это вызвало критику его противников.

В 1527 году во время осады Рима императором Священной Римской империи Карлом V папа Климент VII получил убежище в Орвието. По приказу Климента VII был построен колодец святого Патрика для обеспечения города водой в случае осады.

Этрусские развалины
В Орвието находятся этрусские развалины и остатки стены, которая существовала более 2000 лет назад. В городе находится этрусский некрополь Crocifisso di Tufo.

Подземный город
Под городом существует лабиринт пещер и тоннелей, прорытых в вулканических скальных породах. Подземный город долгое время был секретным. Ныне он открыт только для организованных групп.

LA's Kohn Gallery has just announced that it has added artist Lita Albuquerque to its roster. Best known for her work in the Light and Space and Land Art movements, Albuquerque has most recently shown at the Sixth International Cairo Biennale (where she took the top prize) and the Getty's Pacific Standard Time festival. The gallery is slated to give her a solo show on November 15, the subject of which will be Alburquerque's ambitious "Stellar Axis: Antarctica" project from 2006. The land art piece, which took the form of 99 blue spheres laid out across the South Pole to mirror the night sky above, was the first large-scale work made in Antarctica. Kohn will display photographs, film, objects and archive materials from the piece.

Etzebeth going nowhere
Eben Etzebeth is expected to remain at Western Province until the conclusion of his contract in 2016.
Reports first surfaced over the weekend that Toulon would go in for the Stormers and Springbok lock, and were hoping to sign him following the World Cup in England in 2015. The French-based club are set to lose fellow Springbok lock Bakkies Botha at the end of this season and owner, Mourad Boudjellal, has highlighted the 23-year-old Etzebeth as the perfect replacement.
Such reports have proved wide of the mark, with WP Rugby confirming it has received no such approach from Toulon.
'The report is news to us – Eben is contracted here until the end of 2016,' strategic communications manager Howard Kahn told SARugbymag.co.za.
Etzebeth, a product of the Western Province Rugby Institute, has played 33 times for the Springboks since making his debut in 2012. Having missed the whole of the 2014 Super Rugby season, he is expected to play a key role for the Stormers as well as the Boks in 2015.
Last month it was reported that Bath have made an approach to sign Duane Vermeulen, as European clubs look to take advantage of their financial positions to lure some of the southern hemisphere's best talent across the equator.

THE CAMPAIGN follows the people behind California's historic "No on 8" campaign to defend same-sex marriage through exclusive behind the scenes footage, interwoven with the national history of same-sex relationship recognition since the 1950s. The story focuses on an ensemble of five characters — Alison, Holli, Richard, Anne and Claudia — as they labor tirelessly to defeat Proposition 8, sacrificing time with the families they are fighting to protect. The film positions their efforts within the context of shifting legal and political landscapes, from Anita Bryant's "Save our Children," to the invention of the word "Domestic Partner" in San Francisco, to Pat Buchanan's declaration of a "culture war," and finally to the wave of marriage bans that swept 41 states across the nation. The shocking passage of Prop 8 in seemingly LGBT-friendly California changed the landscape forever, both for the US LGBT equality movement and for the individual activists who dropped what they were doing and threw themselves into the largest social issue campaign the us has ever seen. Featuring a beautiful score from the Kronos Quartet and Jacob Garchik, THE CAMPAIGN emerges as an unprecedented installment of LGBT social history and a signature documentary on one of the most pressing civil rights issues of our times.
Holli Banks
Holli has a theater background and the desire to keep spirits high among the volunteers. As Election Day nears and poll numbers appear grim, she is exasperated at what she sees as apathy in the community. "They're trying to write discrimination into the constitution! What could be more important?"
RICHARD LAMORI
At 75, Richard is a retired postal worker who has lived in the Castro district of San Francisco for decades. He volunteers for the campaign, and his jovial exterior is transformed when he talks about Prop 8 and his partner of 40 years who died a few years back. "How is our relationship any different?"
Alison Beck
Alison was among the first to get a marriage license in June 2008, and was married not long after in her parents' backyard. she throws herself into campaign work, as a volunteer organizing interfaith groups for "No on 8" out of her church in Berkeley.
ANNE MARKS
Anne's background is public policy and politics, and she leaves her job to work on the campaign as a field director for "No on 8". To her, the work is about building community, but it's also personal. She plans to marry her partner on election night, to celebrate Prop 8's defeat.
Dani (claudia) Gardner
Claudia is a college freshman and enthusiastic about diving into political work. During weekends back home, Claudia sees hundreds of "Yes on 8" posters and hears about the "evils of homosexuality" in church. A visit to a black and Christian forum for "No on 8" reassures that "I'm not the only one."

"Inspector Gamache has puzzled his way through 13 of Louise Penny's mysteries, and his 14th is an exceptional read. Penny brings us a mystery that will delight old-school mystery lovers (a storm, the reading of a will) as well as those who enjoy a fast-paced thriller (Gamache's plans involving the opioids he lost). The pacing is swift and the cast of characters from Three Pines is as charming and wonderful as always. The Kingdom of the Blind is easily one of the best of the series. Thank you, Louise Penny, for reminding us that kindness does exist in this mostly cruel world and that when utilized correctly, it can be inspiring and life-changing."
— William Carl, Wellesley Books, Wellesley, MA
The new Chief Inspector Gamache novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author.
When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the S ret du Qu bec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder.
None of them had ever met the elderly woman.
The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane?
When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing.
But it isn't the only menace Gamache is facing.
The investigation into what happened six months ago?the events that led to his suspension?has dragged on, into the dead of winter. And while most of the opioids he allowed to slip through his hands, in order to bring down the cartels, have been retrieved, there is one devastating exception.
Enough narcotic to kill thousands has disappeared into inner city Montreal. With the deadly drug about to hit the streets, Gamache races for answers.
As he uses increasingly audacious, even desperate, measures to retrieve the drug, Armand Gamache begins to see his own blind spots. And the terrible things hiding there.

Part of iittala's oldest line, this design was born 1932 but it remains just as fresh today thanks to its timeless values. Aino Aalto was the first to design glassware intended for daily use yet adaptable for modern product methods; like her husband, designer and architect Alvar Aalto, she was a true pioneer of functionalism. The ripples in the clear glass were inspired by a stone thrown in water, lending a simple yet stunning texture that is only more beautiful paired with iittala's refreshing 2014 color, Rain. Stackable and dishwasher-safe, these tumblers are perfect for juice, water, milk and more.

Delegate Hull's Richmond Report
June 13, 2007 4:07 PM by Tom Whipple
I had the pleasure of being invited to a preview screening on Monday of the new film for PBS by Ken Burns called "The War."
It is the story of World War II as described by eyewitnesses, seven veterans of that great conflict and their friends and family members.
Created by "Florentine Films," Burns' production company, it will be seen in multiple episodes similar to their 1989 series "The Civil War."
As with that magnificent production, "The War" was created in conjunction with WETA, Channel 26, which was the host of the preview event at the Library of Congress.
Also like "The Civil War," General Motors is the main underwriter of this production. It will air on PBS stations beginning on September 23.
The preview was part of a national community outreach effort by PBS that is financed by grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The outreach is done in conjunction with the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress, an effort to record the recollections of World War II veterans
Many World War II veterans were in attendance, including my guest for the evening, Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Yanick.
About 400 people were in attendance for the 45-minute preview that was shown in the auditorium of the beautiful Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress.
In comments before the screening, Ken Burns said that he and his production company have spent six years preparing for and producing the series.
He said that the series is about "the" war because that is how veterans of that world-wide conflict refer to it when they reluctantly talk about it.
Many people suggested to Burns that he do a series on World War II after "The Civil War" aired, but he said that he was reluctant to do so.
He did not want "Florentine Films" to be seen as a producer of documentaries solely about wars. But, he added, he changed his mind in 2001.
That was the year that his father, a World War II veteran, died and he learned that 1,000 of the over 6 million American veterans of the war are dying each day.
He was also spurred to look at World War II, he added, after he learned of the results of a study of American high school students.
The study showed that a majority of them mistakenly thought that the United States fought with Germany against the Soviet Union during the war.
He said that he felt he needed to record the recollections of our aging World War II veterans and set the record straight while they were still alive.
The film interweaves footage shot by military cameramen during and after battles with descriptions by veterans of what they experienced.
It initially focuses on four veterans from different corners of our country and shows their experiences and those of the people who lived in their communities.
Because complaints by the Hispanic community, a new section of the series adds the experiences of two Hispanic veterans and one native American veteran.
From the preview we saw, this production is an epic saga that will be every bit as riveting and enthralling as "The Civil War."
When it was over, there were few dry eyes in the audience and both Ken Burns and the veterans in the audience received standing ovations.
Changes in the General Assembly
Tuesday's Democratic and Republican primaries produced some surprising changes that will make the November General Assembly elections interesting.
On the Democratic side, two House incumbents were challenged. Dan Bowling of Southwest Virginia, endorsed by Governor Kaine, was able to fend off his challenger.
In Portsmouth, Johnny Joannou handily beat a competitor endorsed by Mark Warner, who apparently did not like Johnny's votes against several of his initiatives.
In the Senate, Delegate Don McEachin defeated 30-year incumbent Ben Lambert, who was hurt by his embrace of George Allen in last year's U.S. Senate race.
On the Republican side, two moderate GOP Senators were defeated: Brandon Bell in Southwest Virginia and Transportation Committee chairman Marty Williams in Virginia Beach.
Democrats think that they have a good chance of capturing these newly open districts in their goal to regain a majority by winning four new seats.
House Democrats need to take 11 seats from Republicans to regain a majority. While many doubt that it can happen, the political winds are blowing in our favor.

I am in Rio for the 7th annual Nestle Brasil Match Cup 2009 today through Sunday. It is pretty local but that is not to say it is not competitive. Amongst the competitors is Torben Grael, five time Olympic medalist and Star World Champion as well as, Robert Scheidt four time Olympic Medalist and Star World Champion and Xavier Rohart from France who is a two time Star World Champion and Bronze medalist from 2004. There are a many good local young sailors keen to beat one of the guys with all these titles.
After a press conference this morning, the teams went out for about 2 hours of training in the boats. At 1500 the flights started. There is a small fleet race component to this event and that is what they started with for the first four competitors.
There are 4 boats, but 8 competitors so we don't all race all the time. Unfortunately for us, we didn't get to race today as our first race is in the fourth flight and the race committee only got 2 flights in before the wind died. There is a womens division in the regatta and they sail in J-24's, while the men race in Bennetau First 40.7's.
My crew is a bunch of Star sailing friends and two young Brazilian kids. Ross MacDonald and his wife Marcia (a former 470 and Europe dinghy Olympian for Brazil), Flavio Marazzi and his crew Enrico de Maria (who finished 4th in Athens in 04). Then we have the two kids, Lucas Brun (son of Gastoa and nephew of Vince) who was part of the ABN Amro youth team in the 2006 Volvo Ocean Race and Thomas Low-Beer who is an up and coming 470 sailor for Brazil in 2012 and an engineering student here in Rio.
I started out my day today at 0600 with a run down Ipanema Beach. I found the most beautiful gym in the world. It is outdoor and on the beach. I am going tomorrow and will take pictures. Now I am off to my friend Alan Adler's house for a Bar-B-Q. Alan is another Star World Champ. There are 6 of us down here in this regatta! Alan is the promoter of this event and has another event this weekend in Sao Paolo with Maria Sharapova.


Newsday explores why so many former NFL players struggle while transitioning to life after football in this special report. Hear from former players including Wesley Walker, Boomer Esiason, Bruce Harper and more.
Nearly two years after giving preliminary approval to a settlement affecting former NFL players suffering from concussion-related problems, a federal judge gave her final approval Wednesday and cleared a major obstacle to allow thousands of ex-players to receive benefits.
Judge Anita S. Brody's 132-page settlement document, a copy of which was obtained by Newsday, details potential awards for former players dealing with problems related to head trauma, ranging from a maximum of $5 million for those afflicted with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) -- Lou Gehrig's Disease -- to a maximum of $1.5 million for ex-players suffering from other neurocognitive impairment.
The players could begin receiving the benefits this summer, but further appeals of the settlement would delay the distribution of any financial awards. Approximately 200 of the more than 5,000 former players who participated in the lawsuit already had filed appeals. The settlement covers all former players, not only those who participated in the lawsuit.
The lawyers hailed Brody's final approval as the culmination of years' worth of legal challenges against the NFL. As part of the settlement, the league is not required to declare any admission of liability regarding concussions suffered by former players.
"Nearly four years ago, retired NFL players embarked on a mission that many thought to be impossible: to obtain security and care for the devastating neurocognitive injuries they were experiencing,'' Seeger and Weiss said.
Former Eagles and Patriots fullback Kevin Turner, the plaintiffs' class representative who has been diagnosed with ALS, hailed the approval.
Brody initially balked at a $765-million settlement that was reached in August 2013, citing concerns that the money would be insufficient to cover all claims. The final agreement announced Wednesday has no financial cap.
NFL executive vice president and general counsel Jeff Pash said Brody's approval "powerfully underscores the fairness and propriety of this historic settlement. As a result of the settlement, retirees and their families will be eligible for prompt and substantial benefits and will avoid years of costly litigation that -- as Judge Brody's comprehensive opinion makes clear -- would have an uncertain prospect of success.
"We look forward to implementing the terms of the settlement and continuing to work with our players, coaches and medical staffs to enhance the safety and benefits of football."

1Can one use this product around the eye area?
Remescar Spider Veins can be used on the face. However, the skin around the eyes is very thin and sensitive. The product is safe to use on the face, but for the area around the eyes we suggest the customer start by using a very small amount. Also, making sure not to use the cream too close to the eyes so that the cream does not come in contact with the eyes.
2Can diabetic patients use our product?
Our Remescar products are intended to create a barrier over the skin, therefore they will act locally and not be absorbed by the body. Furthermore they don't contain any ingredients which would pose a risk for diabetic patients. Based on these facts the product can be used by diabetic patients.
3Can pregnant women or women who are currently breastfeeding apply this product on their face, abdomen and legs?
There are no contraindications for pregnant and/or breastfeeding women.
4Is Remescar Spider Veins waterproof?
Remescar Spider Veins form a transparent film over the treated area, which releases the active ingredients towards the skin. This barrier is not waterproof and we recommend applying the products twice daily.
5Once the spider vein has faded, do we need to continue using it? Will spider vein re-occur?
The instructions for use mention to use Remescar Spider Veins twice a day for 2 to 3 months, in order to see results. Microcirculation in the treated area will be improved, the spider veins will become less visible and the formation of new spider veins will be prevented. It is hard to predict how the treated area will evolve after ceasing treatment with Remescar Spider Veins. We believe that there will be a lasting effect, but this depends very much on individual factors (genetic predisposition, activities of the patient, etc.). There is always a possibility of developing new spider veins.
Spider veins are small dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin characterized as purple, blue or red lines. They are similar to varicose veins but are much thinner in diameter and not palpable.
6For application on abdomen or legs, should one apply body lotion after applying Remescar spider veins or vice versa?
Avoid using a topical cream and Remescar Spider Veins at the same time. It's advised to leave 30 minutes between both. Best is to apply Remescar Spider Vein first.
7For application on face, should one apply makeup after applying Remescar spider veins or vice versa?
It is better to apply Remescar Spider Veins first and makeup later, because the protective film which is formed by Remescar Spider Veins can release its active ingredients to the skin.
8Is there a maximum length of time that one can use Remescar spider veins for?
It is advised to use Remescar Spider Veins twice a day for 2 to 3 months, according to the instructions for use. However, application which extends the 3 months period should not cause any problems.
9Does Remescar spider veins have any contra-indications?
– In the case of vascular complications or varicose veins, consult a professional before use.
– Not to be used on dermatological conditions that disrupt the integrity of the skin (e.g. open wounds, third degree burns, acne, and eczema).
– Remescar Spider Veins is not sterile and must not be used as a wound dressing.
10Can one use if she is on blood thinning medication e.g. Warfarin?
There is no contra-indication, however we would suggest to first contact a professional in this case.
11Can anyone with skin conditions such as eczema psoriasis or any other dermatological condition use this product?
12Are there any allergy issues?
