In this two-hour workshop with Visiting Writer Amanda Auerbach, we will use common sayings as jumping-off points for our own poems.
By playing with idiomatic expressions, poets can break through common sense and create an opening for the more unexpected insights for which we go to poetry. In the words of Emily Dickinson, "And then a Plank in Reason, broke, / And I dropped down, and down, — / And hit a World at every plunge..." We will find inspiration in modern poets who use versions of common sayings to set up and then unsettle expectations.
Amanda Auerbach currently writes and teaches at the University of Iowa. Her first book of poems What Need Have We for Such as We is forthcoming from C&R Press in fall 2019. Her poems have appeared in The Paris Review, Boston Review, Fence, Denver Quarterly, Kenyon Review, Colorado Review, Conjunctions (online), Thrush Poetry Journal, and Poetry Northwest. In addition to writing poems, Amanda is also a scholar of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British literature, having earned her PhD in English from Harvard in 2018.
An ongoing free workshop series, Boulder Writes offers writers a place to discover their voice, explore new forms, and connect with other writers in a supportive community.


A GSCE in Art and Design requires that you have an adventurous and enquiring approach to art and design. The course encourages you to develop, to investigate, analyse and experiment, allowing you to express ideas, meaning and emotions in imaginative and creative artwork. Pupils should have a commitment to and a love of the subject and feel motivated to develop their visual skills and desire to build a comprehensive portfolio of artwork.
GCSE Art and Design develops the skills and knowledge that pupils have developed at Key Stage 3. There is an emphasis on the process of developing ideas and work which will be recorded in pupil's sketchbook/work journal. Each unit is assessed over 4 objectives which assess the ability to develop, review, record and present original ideas, meaning and feelings through art and design.
This consists of two pieces of coursework set by the teacher and will include research into and investigation of ideas, informed by contextual and cultural sources. Pupils will experiment with and develop skills in variety of media, techniques and processes including observational drawing, printmaking, painting, and digital media. Their supporting studies will lead to the completion a finished piece of artwork.
The externally set paper contains possible starting points from which pupils should develop and explore ideas over a period of eight weeks. At the end of this period pupils will sit a timed ten hour examination to produce a final piece/pieces of work. The preparatory and development work along with the final piece will then be submitted for assessment.
Throughout the course pupils will develop practical skills to express ideas and use visual language. As well as this pupils will be able to expand their skills in ICT, creative problem solving, analytic, investigative and interpretative capabilities. All these skills are essential in whatever courses or employment the pupil aspires to in later life. They will also have the opportunity to experience art first hand through gallery and studio visits and visiting artists and designers.
After completing Art and Design GCSE pupils can continue their studies in Art and Design through an A-level or BTEC National Diploma. Pupils may wish to do Art and Design GCSE to develop the skills mentioned above or to pursue a career in the rapidly expanding creative arts industry. In the current economic climate creative problem solving, research and development skills are considered priorities in many diverse industries, including engineering, marketing, science and commerce.


There are a number of bracket racing classes where electronic devices are not legal, and when index racing the use of a throttle stop might be needed. PRP has developed a simple but effective device that mounts directly to their already popular throttle bracket so you can control your throttle. Two jam nuts are loosened on an adjustable rod to roll the throttle cable either open or closed to find your perfect tune. Simple and easy adjustment allows for no more engine tuning, like "pulling timing out". All kit components are made from billet aluminum, and all hardware is stainless steel.
Does not come with spring end or cable end.


Sometimes I realise I had the exact same paper as you five minutes ago, which I had thrown away for being so immensely boring, but now that you have it, every article is compelling; there's no way I can survive the day without getting hold of another copy. But alas, it's never quite as pleasing when it's back in my humble hands.
Bloody hell, what an opener! I was completely enthralled. The suspense was killing me. I made a note of title and author.
It wasn't til I got off the train, playing the line over and over in my head that I realised that as a teaser, it was dull in the extreme. Of all the lines in the entire book, was that really the one they thought would make us tear back the cover and devour its insides?
But it had worked on me for a second. Because that's how I feel about any writings I don't have. The blurb on the back could have read anything else and I would have been just as intrigued.
As I perused upsidedownwardly the Electronic Waste Recyclying Act in the hands of the lovely gentleman opposite, I thought about what strange force was taking over me, why I felt impelled to read everything except the thing in my own hands. But I was distracted by an incredible piece that my neighbour was reading about how the weather this year is somewhat the same as it has been but different depending on region.
And besides, I can't help but feel that pretty much anything on the metro is fair game. Your medical forms (they x-rayed what?), your shopping list (margarine? really?), your PowerPoint presentation (in Dutch). (I seem to understand Dutch on the metro.) You brought it on here, I'm gonna have a look. That's why it's called public transport. This is no place to be private. Admit you're gonna be nose-to-nose and shoulder-to-shoulder, and turn the other cheek.
And FYI, when I occasionally manage to maintain interest in my own reading matter like the proper adult person I am sometimes able to impersonate, I am most magnanimous with my material. When I witness the familiar face-tilt from the corner of my eye, I will open the page wide so my neighbour can share. And at the risk of totally weirding you out I will wait for you to finish before I turn the page. I have even shared sweets and earphones with my metro neighbours to their surprise and (mostly) delight.
So please don't stress or tut. I truly intend you no harm. I'm your friendly, neighbourly over-the-shoulder-book-beholder. Could you just go back a page? Thanks x.

On this day in history, January 28, 1779, Fort Nashborough, now called Nashville, is founded during the American Revolution in response to Indian attacks on settlers in the area. After the Revolution began, many Cherokee and other tribes in the southeast joined the British against the Americans. Their motivation was to stop the American settlers' encroachment on their land.
The Cherokee, especially, played a huge role in the Revolution, particularly in Georgia and South Carolina. Not all Cherokee sided with the British, however. Many remained neutral and some were on the side of the Americans. Chief Dragging Canoe was the principal anti-American and anti-settler chief in the region.
Dragging Canoe led numerous attacks on settlements throughout what is now Tennessee and Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia and North and South Carolina. This conflict between American settlers and Chief Dragging Canoe and his allies stretched from 1776 when the Revolution began, to 1794 when peace was finally reached between the two sides. The whole time period is called the "Chickamauga Wars" and is named after the Chickamauga River where Dragging Canoe settled and had his base of operations.
What is now known as Tennessee was part of North Carolina at the outbreak of the Revolution. The mid-section of modern Tennessee had no permanent white settlements up to this point, although the region had been traveled thoroughly by traders and explorers. In 1775, Judge Richard Henderson of North Carolina purchased about two million acres of land from the Cherokee in what is now Kentucky and Tennessee, including the Nashville area. Dragging Canoe was firmly against the sale and mounted attacks on settlers coming into the area. Henderson's original plan was to create a 14th state known as Transylvania in the region, but the plan fell apart when Congress and the state of Virginia did not recognize the claim.
In early 1779, James Robertson and John Donelson brought the first white settlers to an area on the Cumberland River known as "French Lick." The name came from a previous French trading post nearby and from naturally occurring salt in the ground that animals would "lick," called a "salt lick." On January 28, 1779, the settlers built a 2 acre fort called Fort Nashborough, named after General Francis Nash, a North Carolina General who died at the Battle of Germantown.
Fort Nashborough would be renamed Nashville within a few years (to get rid of the British sounding "borough") and would suffer numerous Indian attacks for the next decade and a half until Dragging Canoe died in 1792. After this, his Indian coalition fell apart, a peace treaty was signed with the Cherokee and much of the remaining resistance was put down by the American army.
A reconstructed Fort Nashborough was built in downtown Nashville in 1930 by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The fort still stands today and has buildings constructed in the same way they were in the original fort. The fort is open for self-guided tours year round and has period actors appearing there at certain times to teach about frontier life.

Abominable Second Half Marks Another Crippling Loss
Za'Darius Smith Shockingly Spurns the Ravens Despite Reported Reunion With Former Team
Published on 19 March 2022, 00:16 -06:00
The New York Yankees were in the midst of a six-game winning streak before they fell to the Baltimore Orioles. With this outlier performance, their record at the end of July looked like it could be one win better than last year's team's mark. However, that wasn't quite how things would come together for most teams across Major League Baseball who had decent records coming into this past week and then took off with some serious firepower as both games and wins started piling on for them
The "who did the jazz lose to in the playoffs last year" is a question that has been asked many times. The Jazz lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and they also lost to the Houston Rockets.
On their current West Coast journey, the Chicago Bulls haven't having much fun.
Following a loss to the Sacramento Kings, the Bulls had an opportunity to bounce back with a big victory against the Utah Jazz. Despite another poor start offensively — a worrying trend in recent weeks — Chicago stayed in there and fought on defense. However, as the game slid away in the second half, familiar difficulties resurfaced.
The Bulls were scoreless in the last two quarters, allowing the Jazz to win 125-110. Worse, Chicago's defensive issues, which have been apparent for quite some time, remain unsolved.
The club of head coach Billy Donovan stays in the Eastern Conference's middle. However, the future seems to be dismal. The Bulls might wind up in the play-in event as well.
In a defeat against the Jazz, the Bulls let up 71 points in the second half.

Despite shooting 40% from the field in the first half, the Bulls were able to keep pace with the Jazz. Nine turnovers were forced by Chicago, with many of them leading to fast-break scores.
However, in the third quarter, the defensive effort started to dwindle.
Utah scored 35 points in the third session, despite Chicago forcing five more turnovers. The majority came from a red-hot Donovan Mitchell, who found his stride from beyond the arc.
Mitchell shot 7-of-9 from beyond the arc in the first quarter. The Bulls, to their credit, disputed a handful of those triples. Another was akin to a temperature check. Chicago, on the other hand, often allowed him just enough room to get his jumper off, alternating between drop coverage and hedging on screens.
Spida re-ignited the Jazz after the half, and the Bulls were unable to stop them in the fourth quarter.
After a 15-6 surge trimmed the Jazz's advantage to four points, Chicago seemed set to make things interesting. The Bulls, on the other hand, had forgotten how to get stops, much alone string them together. Utah ended the game with a 14-0 run of their own.
Chicago suffers from the same defensive flaws as the rest of the league.
The Bulls' failure to contain dribble penetration, notably from Clarkson and Mitchell, was correctly called out by Donovan. According to him, this resulted in trapping and ineffective rotations for open 3-point attempts or foul throws.
— K.C. Johnson (@KCJHoop) March 17, 2022
The Bulls could not have avoided several of Donovan Mitchell's triples, as previously stated. Off the dribble, he showed minimal hesitancy and quickly settled into a comfortable rhythm.
Nonetheless, Chicago's defensive plan has long had issues, as seen by the team's continuous collapse in the fourth quarter.
The pick-and-roll between Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert was too much for the Bulls to handle. As the screener, Gobert consistently sealed on-ball defenders, enabling Conley to get into the lane at whim and forcing help defenders to cut off drives, resulting in a slew of uncontested three-point shots.
Dribble drives also proved problematic. Billy Donovan said after the game (h/t K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago) that the inability to stop Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson from steamrolling to the bucket contributed to bad trapping and poor rotations.
Chicago did, in fact, have a problem with trapping. The Jazz replied by finding short rolls and stimulating ball movement as Nikola Vucevic started to hedge too long on pick-and-roll. The Bulls were unable to recover or figure out their rotations, resulting in a plethora of open shots from the perimeter.
Some of the items were just lazy. Because he was too preoccupied with whining to referees, Alex Caruso, who has established himself as a clear defensive standout, left Nickeil Alexander-Walker wide open for an open corner three-pointer on an inbounds play.
The Bulls will have to make changes at some time. Despite the fact that these issues have persisted for the most of the season, Chicago has failed to plan adequately.
The Bulls' continued defensive woes, as well as their continued fall in the league rankings, create a bleak picture.
Is it possible to slide all the way to the play-in?

The Chicago Bulls and the No. 1-seeded Miami Heat each had the same record heading into the All-Star break. Four weeks later, the Bulls had dropped to the Eastern Conference's No. 5 seed. Will the downward spiral ever come to an end?
The Bulls are in a dangerous situation. The good news is that second-year forward Patrick Williams, who rejoined the club soon after Caruso, may be close to returning. However, the bad currently exceeds the positive.
The Bulls are still figuring out how to deal with difficulties at the point of attack and can't defend against great offensive teams. They won't have an easy time winning, particularly because Lonzo Ball is still out of the defensive backcourt.
Furthermore, the teams chasing Chicago might gain ground down the stretch. The Toronto Raptors, who are seeded seventh, have already accomplished this. During its own West Coast journey, Toronto has won five straight games and is unbeaten. The Cleveland Cavaliers have dropped three of their last four games, but they have a relatively easy final stretch ahead of them and might benefit if Jarrett Allen returns before the season's finish.
It's not out of the question that the Bulls fall to the No. 7 seed. If that happens, they'll almost certainly face the Brooklyn Nets in a play-in game. That is a frightening prospect.
Chicago still has a chance to turn things around. The Bulls, on the other hand, haven't done anything to establish themselves as legitimate Eastern Conference contenders. Fans should brace themselves for the worst.

BOLO – Week of October 21, 2018
by Kristopher | Oct 22, 2018 | Bolo | 2 comments
An extremely eclectic list of books this week, so I have a good feeling you won't have any trouble finding something here that piques your interest. Happy Fall Reading.
Catriona McPherson – Go To My Grave (Minotaur, Hardcover, $26.99, 10/23/2018)
BOLO Books Comments:
Catriona McPherson is one of our best and most fearless storytellers. Her stand-alone suspense novels have proven to be anything but predictable, and this latest may just be her best yet. Firmly planted in the Gothic tradition, readers who long for the tales of Phyllis A. Whitney and Victoria Holt will find much to love here. I'm holding my review for a bit because a fan of the blog asked me to review the audiobook version of Go To My Grave, so I want to incorporate my thoughts on that format into my final review. But rest assured, I am not leaving you hanging. This is an excellent book and Catriona will be here at BOLO Books on Wednesday to talk a bit about more about the Gothic elements of this addictive novel.
Jacket Copy (Publisher's Description):
Donna Weaver has put everything she has into restoring The Breakers, an old bed and breakfast on a remote stretch of beach in Galloway. Now it sits waiting―freshly painted, richly furnished, filled with flowers―for the first guests to arrive.
But Donna's guests, a contentious group of estranged cousins, soon realize that they've been here before, years ago. Decades have passed, but that night still haunts them: a sixteenth birthday party that started with peach schnapps and ended with a girl walking into the sea.
Each of them had made a vow of silence: "lock it in a box, stitch my lips, and go to my grave."
But now someone has broken the pact. Amid the home-baked scones and lavish rooms, someone is playing games, locking boxes, stitching lips. And before the weekend is over, at least one of them will go to their grave.
Julie Hyzy – Virtual Sabotage (Calexia, Paperback, $16.00, 10/23/2018
The many, many fans of Julie Hyzy will be happy to see a new book from her, but they surely won't anticipate how unusual and original her new venture is. Stepping away from her typical cozy fare, Hyzy has written an incredibly modern and timely techno-thriller. In a time when we as a society are struggling to find ways for separate truth from fiction, Hyzy takes it one step further and presents readers with a compelling virtual world in a book that is the perfect blend of fascinating characters and breakneck plotting. (Fans of the recent television series, Reverie, will immediately connect with the technology at the core of this novel.)
Don't believe everything you think.
Kenna Ward is a "lifeguard for the brain," an envoy for Virtu-Tech, the preeminent virtual reality provider whose implants allow consumers to experience exhilarating imagined adventures—all while remaining perfectly safe.
Most of the time, that is.
In the rare instance when a participant mistakes an overwhelming situation as real, it's up to Ward to enter their scenario and pull them back to reality.
But when Ward's partner goes rogue and the system begins responding in odd and dangerous ways, she delves deeper, uncovering a sinister conspiracy to dominate not only the virtual reality world, but the real one as well. Ward must stop this devastating attack before there are no more independent minds left to control.
Jeff Abbott – The Three Beths (Grand Central, Hardcover, $26.00, 10/23/2018)
Unfortunately, I didn't receive a review galley for this book, but based on my love of Jeff Abbott's last book, Blame, I am confident about including this new release here. The buzz from others I know who have read it has been extremely positive and I for one am thrilled to see more male authors tackling domestic and psychological suspense themes in their work.
My mom would never leave me.
This has been Mariah Dunning's motto. Her compass. Her belief. So when she glimpses her mother–who's been missing for the past year–on the other side of a crowded food court, Mariah's conviction becomes stronger than ever. Or is she losing her mind?
An unlikely coincidence?
When Beth Dunning disappeared without a trace, suspicion for her murder-despite the lack of a body or any physical evidence-immediately fell upon Mariah's father. Until Mariah stumbles upon two other recent disappearances from Lakehaven. And all three women had the same name: Beth.
Or a sinister connection?
Mariah would give anything to find out what happened to her mother, and clear her father's name. But the truth may be more devastating than she could have imagined…
J. J. Hensely – Record Scratch (Down & Out, Paperback, $15.95, 10/22/2018)
The bond between crime fiction and music has always been strong. I feel like most crime fiction authors – especially those in the noir and hardboiled style – eventually come around to writing a book that merges music and murder. Here J. J. Hensley put his series character, Trevor Galloway, on the trail of a legendary musician who has more secrets than songs.
"There are two types of men you must fear in this world: Men who have everything to lose—and men like me."
It's a case Trevor Galloway doesn't want. It's certainly a case he doesn't need. The client—the sister of a murdered musician—seems a bit off. She expects Galloway to not only solve her brother's homicide, but recover a vinyl record she believes could ruin his reputation. Galloway knows he should walk away. He should simply reach over the desk, give back the envelope of cash that he admittedly needs, and walk away. However, when the client closes the meeting by putting a gun under her chin and pulling the trigger, his sense of obligation drags him down a path he may not be ready to travel.
As Galloway pieces together the final days of rock and roll legend Jimmy Spartan, he struggles to sort through his own issues, to include having the occasional hallucination. He's not certain how bad his condition has deteriorated, but when Galloway is attacked in broad daylight by men he assumed were figments of his imagination, he realizes the threat is real and his condition is putting him and anyone nearby at risk. The stoic demeanor that earned Galloway the nickname The Tin Man is tested as he reunites with an old flame, becomes entangled in a Secret Service investigation, and does battle with old enemies.
A story divided into twelve songs from Jimmy Spartan's final album.
Holly	on October 22, 2018 at 10:36 am
What a great week for books. I'm particularly looking forward to Go to My Grave and The Three Beths.
Kristopher	on October 22, 2018 at 12:45 pm
Go to My Grave is wonderful. I am hoping that I will have time to squeeze in The Three Beths at some point, but the schedule is very tight at the moment. We'll see.

LETTER: Time to enjoy your retirement, Jack
St. John's East MP Nick Whalen (left) and NDP candidate Jack Harris. - SaltWire File Photo
Way back in the summer of 1985, I worked on the campaign to elect Jack Harris, NDP to Ottawa and we won!
What a feeling that night at the old Battery Hotel where we, as volunteers, celebrated the win and Jack. Writing this now, I remember my walk home that lovely summer night after the celebrations; I really felt like my feet didn't touch the ground.
It's almost 35 years later and Jack has a stellar history as an opposition or third party member here in Newfoundland and Labrador and Ottawa.
And I'm 60 now and Jack is somewhat older than me. I'm retired now, too, and doing volunteer work; still using my education and experience from my 30+ years in health care. I've done some teaching and mentoring of people who have used the services where I have volunteered. It's been quite rewarding.
Thankfully, politics is changing; trying to be more progressive and inclusive, needing more young, but educated and experienced people, in politics. More women need and want to take up the political challenge, rightly so.
Jack, you had your turn over many, many years. You have done what you could.
Further, the days of white guys of privilege, like me and you, too, Jack, being fully in charge are eroding rapidly and the new generation is trying to do things better, inclusively and differently. It's far from perfect, as we are all imperfect people just trying to do our best. And, in my opinion, not all the blame for the bad political behaviour goes to men. Please remember how women in the NDP-NL treated Lorraine Michael and how the two very capable women and former federal cabinet ministers rendered themselves politically moot because they couldn't accept how other people do political business.
Yes, we can all strive to do better and eventually, maybe, we will.
So, that's why I'm supporting the Liberal incumbent in my riding and the man Jack wishes to challenge, Nick Whalen, MP.
Whalen is a young, intelligent, 40-year-old lawyer, married to a local N.L. physician and with a young family. Given the chance Whalen would be a good person in the federal cabinet, too, after the fall election, to more effectively represent N.L. issues than they are now.
But Jack b'y, I'm sorry to say you need to just get out of the way.
Get your ego in check, and retire, (I assume your pensions are healthier than mine) mentor or teach — the political science department at Memorial would be lucky to get you.
But your decision to feed your ego and run again as if anyone in opposition or the third party could really do anything for anyone, disappoints me greatly.
Your federal leader, I doubt, is ready to be prime minister. He does not captivate me at all, and does not seem to be any match for our young, vibrant, good on his feet, articulate PM Justin Trudeau. Trudeau quickly became statesman-like, held his own with other world leaders and surpassed "you-know-who" in how to do politics, and is obviously able to deal with huge international issues and internal party conflicts.
Your decision, Jack, in my opinion, to run yet again is so much more about you than us; and that to me is proof old school, last century-style politics.
Best of luck Whalen and Trudeau. I look forward to knocking on doors in my neighbourhood for you, as I did for Jack, in the name of more progressive, modern, inclusive of those who have previously been excluded, but not yet perfect, politics.
Geoff Chaulk,
Jack Harris to seek NDP candidacy in St. John's East

China's Story - William Griffis
◄ Previous Chapter
Primeval China
China is the oldest living nation in the world. Of all in the human family, her people have the longest story. To-day China is like an elderly gentleman, hale and hearty, despite his years, not liking to change and yet ready for new things. The danger is now that he may go too fast.
A wrinkled old man does not look like the rosy infant he once was. Yet "the child is father of the man." In going back four thousand years, we must not expect to find anything like the Chinese Empire of to-day. In size, population, manner of life, likes and dislikes, hopes and fears, the China of youth will not resemble the mighty nation of the twentieth century. There have been changes in food, dress, style of houses, government, and in religion, philosophy, belief, and opinions. China is neither inscrutable nor in a state of arrested development.
We shall study each age during the many dynasties, so as to distinguish the features of a society based always on land and labor, but ever developing with new inventions. Its great men and women, the novelties and characteristics of the times, the amusements and tastes of each era will be noted. We shall see that those things which we have always associated in our minds with China did not come all at once. The oldest of them were at one time new. Their introduction brought delightful surprise to those who liked and disgust to those who disliked them. In China, as in Europe, new things were always opposed by those who thought them harmful, and were welcomed by those who voted them good.
Chinese civilization, which seems to-day so fixed, and which our people imagine has always been very much the same as it is now, is in reality an affair of long and slow evolution. Not more different in their appearance to-day from their humble beginnings ages ago are the luscious peach, the splendid rose, the race-horse, the latest triumphs of science—yes, even our men and women—than are the Chinese gentleman and lady from their savage originals. The world of experience and the outlook of fortieth-century China are vastly other than those of her cradle days. In the far-off beginning of things Chinese there were no rice, wheat, oats, silk, cotton, tea, paper, porcelain, pagodas, priests, temples, idols, letters, writing, books, jade, ivory, kites, falconry, cormorant fishing, fire-crackers, or coins with a square hole in the middle. Then the men did not wear queues, nor did the women bind their feet to make them small. There was then no Buddhism, and very little folklore or legend. There was even a time, farther back, when the people knew nothing of fire, woven clothing, houses, medicine, domestic animals, musical instruments, the institution of marriage, or the measurement of time. The natives were savages as wild as were our own far-off ancestors in the caves of the geological ages. Then, instead of being full of tilled fields, tea-gardens, towns, and villages, China was one vast forest, with swamps tenanted by ferocious wild beasts.
The originals of the fantastic creatures now known only in mythology or fairyland then lived on the earth with the men who were the distant fathers of the Chinese people. Making allowance for what myth-makers and artists have done to change or embellish the reality, some of the so-called "mythical monsters" were once as real as are elephants and gorillas. Chinese wonder-tales contain little more of exaggeration than do those of our own forbears. Nor are the beliefs of the common people, in Canton and Mukden, one whit more absurd than those of our own fore fathers.
Science and the sure witness of writing, art, architecture, customs, and traditions, when critically studied, show that the Chinese have followed the course of nature. The great has developed out of the little, according to the divine formula of seed, blade, and ear. Nevertheless, most Chinese writers still follow the fashions of an earlier world of thought and ways of reasoning. They tell us that the golden age was in the unmeasured aeons of the past. They place the best time of the world millions of years back, in the interval between the beginnings of heaven and earth and the coming of Fu Hi, whom they honor as their own great civilizer. To them the past is more honorable than the modern age. In it lived holy and semi-divine beings.
Entering Chinese temples, we discern both the first heavenly beings and the initial human makers of society, and are at once struck with the peculiarities of native art. Naturally these first men are Chinese, to all appearances. Their expression, style of hair and headdress, their jewels and ornaments, the fashion of their clothes and boots are not what we should give to our ancestors.
Yet we are like the Chinese. Although we do not dress our Adam and Eve in anything but fig leaves, we make them in their faces look like people we meet on Broadway. The first man and woman would be represented with different color of skin, according as an American, an Indian, or a Mongol should picture them. So in Chinese art there are "Jewel Lords," the "Three Pure Ones," and Panku, the first man, besides the "god" of tides, of war, of agriculture, etc., who have faces, dress, and posture according to Chinese taste and propriety.
In a word, the Chinese do no more than do we with our far-off ancestors, heroes, saints, and mighty folk, whom we idealize as if they lived in London, Boston, or Chicago. When we understand the artist's method of representing faces, dress, drapery, clouds, trees, mountains, water, bridges, and whatever goes into the making of a picture, whether Chinese or European, we soon learn what ideas he would convey. We make a difference between what is real, or supposed to be real, and what is imaginary. We soon note what the painter or sculptor has added for effect, or to heighten interest, to give local color, or to make what he thinks will suit the taste of his patrons and give us something pretty or popular. Myths and fairy tales usually keep in what is pleasant and leave out what is disagreeable. This is art—the praise of life.
The Chinese have, therefore, little trouble in comprehending their own pictures, nor need we have, when we know the mind and method of the artists in Nanking or Amoy. By patiently studying Oriental art we learn much and enjoy a great deal, beside getting truth and understanding history much more clearly. Such a method, with text, picture, inscription, architecture, games, plays, and customs, is more satisfactory than reading newspapers or accepting what foreigners have guessed at. Such a plan we try to follow in this little book.
In telling the story of the oldest nation, it is not at all necessary to use many Chinese names or words. These sound uncouth to us, because in our minds they have no meaning or association of ideas. Only by turning Kung Fu Tse—that is, the learned Professor Kung—and the name of his pupil Meng Tse into Latin, do "Confucius " and "Mencius" sound familiar to our ears. We can tell the story of China better in simple English than by appearing learned in the use of odd terms and many dates.
The Chinese are just as human as we are. They are moved by the same feelings and stirred by the same passions. It is not his curious dress, long queue, shaven forehead, or heelless velvet shoes that make a Chinaman. Nor do bound feet, wobbly slippers with the toes turned up, and loose clothes, that are purposely made so as to hide the marks of sex, make a Chinese woman. Neither will mills and machine-shops, telephones, railways, aeroplanes, automobiles, or steel battleships make any difference in the deviltry or sainthood of China. A native would be still Chinese even if he adopted all our customs, fashions, manners, inventions, and varieties of religion. The real man and woman in the Middle Kingdom can be fully described in English.
In the past these people taught us a great many things, some of them so long ago that we have forgotten how they came to us. The Chinese have probably invented and originated more than any other people with whose history we are acquainted. The civilization of China is her own, while ours is only a new edition, revised and corrected, of former civilizations.
The names of this long-lived empire and grand-mother of many nations, historically the oldest State in the world, are numerous and suggestive. Her own people do not know or use the term China, or Chinese, yet this name occurs in the ancient books of India. Isaiah knew of "the land of Sinim." Of native names the most common, perhaps, means the Middle Kingdom, or the Central Empire, or the Central Flowery Land—that is, the civilized country surrounded by pupil and vassal nations. All other countries lie on the edge of the map, while China fills the page. Distant nations look like microbes, or parasites. "All under Heaven " means the Chinese Empire. It is often seen on bank-notes.
This method of atlas-making is not so very different from our own. We often give a page to one State, or even a county, and then in a similar space we represent all the Chinas. The empire holding one fourth of the human race is squeezed into a space that one could cover with a teacup, while Japan looks like a caterpillar.
Among the names which the natives themselves do not use, but are known in Europe, several forms of this word being found in the Bible, is Seres, meaning silk. Sinae means "the Chinas," having the idea of plurality, or of many countries. In Russia, Khitai or Khata became "Cathay," with which we are all familiar. Tennyson has said, "Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay." By this he meant a long, indefinite period without change.
Another name is Heavenly Dynasty, which some foreigners have translated Celestial Empire, but the odd term "Celestials " is not a native idea. The official name, used in Japan, as in China, means the Country Ruled by a Line of Rulers of Heavenly Origin. This notion is not exclusively Chinese. Europeans long believed that czars, emperors, and other rulers enjoy the special grace of the Deity, because of their form of government, teaching this as religious truth. As the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618–905) was one of the most celebrated in history, and very brilliant, a common name for China is the Hills (or the country) of Tang.
No one can understand China unless he knows the variation, in features and limbs, ideas and speech, mind and body, between the northern and the southern Chinese. They are quite as different as are English and Scotch. Only the southern Chinamen have thus far gone abroad in large numbers. In the south the people call themselves the Men of Tang, while in the north their favorite title is the Men of Han, after the famous dynasty B.C. 206–220 A.D. The people also speak of themselves as the Black-haired Race, or the Sons of Han. Their beloved home, in contrast with the outlying lands, is the Central Flowery Land. For the Country of the Hundred Families they get very homesick when abroad. When in a mood like that suggested by our "Hail Columbia," or Fourth of July, the Chinaman talks of the glorious Hia, an ancient dynasty. With loyal spirit, in order to compliment the present or Tsin (Pure) dynasty in Peking, they call their country the Great Pure Kingdom.
There are pious ways of speaking of China from a religious or exalted point of view. The Buddhists, who came from India, call it by the Hindoo name the Land of Dawn. The Mahometans, who entered from the West, speak of the Land of the East. When we want a Latin adjective meaning Chinese, we call the mixed writing common in Japan, Sinico-Japanese, and the peoples which have received Chinese culture the Sinitic nations. A man who is familiar with the Lingua Sinica, or Chinese language, is a sinologne, because learned in the wonderful script that the average American sees only on tea-boxes or in "Chinatown" of New York or San Francisco.
Nevertheless, Chinese characters, which speak to the eye, can be just as well used to write English or German as to express native thought. China has no alphabet based on sound, nor a syllabary like the Japanese or Ethiopic. Her writing consists of ideographs, which were once pictures of the objects represented, to which a sound was attached, so that the characters represent things or stand for words in themselves. Speaking to the eye, the Chinese written language is the richest in the world. It means even more in sight than in sound. There are no ideas in science, philosophy, or invention that cannot be expressed in Chinese script.
Let us, then, study China, allowing the Chinese as far as possible to speak for themselves.

Thursday thoughts - War & Germany 1933
At the moment I am reading the award winning novel by Australia's Anna Funder, "All That I Am," set in the 1930s, with cousins, Ruth Becker and Dora Fabian, and their respective lovers, Hans Wesemann and Ernst Toller (and Toller's wife Christine) – whose political agitating against Hitler and his Third Reich necessitate their hasty departure from Germany (people were arrested as soon as Hitler came to power) and their subsequent resettlement in London as refugees. So far it's a great read, which goes back and forth between Germany in 1933, New York in 1939 and Sydney in 2000.
more at Penguin
The story is inspired by the real life experiences of Funder's friend, Ruth Blatt, who spent five years in solitary confinement in a German prison before securing her passage to Australia (via Shanghai) in 1947. She lived the next fifty years of her life alone in a flat in Bondi Junction, and I know that Dora Fabian died in 1935, and Toller committed suicide in 1939, so it's not going to be a happy ending.
The story got me in, though, with Ruth's first sentence: "When Hitler came to power I was in the bath."
Such an unusual first sentence, don't you think, and one that had me thinking about Hitler and the strange power he had over the German people, and much of the world for some time. I have always been taught that WWII began in 1939, but for many German people, it started in January 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. So today, Anzac day, a day we remember those fallen in war, some images of pre-war from, 1933 Germany.

European Regulatory Agencies
Applied Clinical Trials
Applied Clinical Trials, Applied Clinical Trials-12-01-2005, Volume 0, Issue 0
Political and technical tensions in the EU.
The year 2005 has seen the European pharmaceutical environment become an even more complex combination of political and technical tensions.
At the political level, the European Commission has been trying to stimulate innovation and to promote an enterprise culture, in the face of persistent major divergences among EU member states about the right way for Europe to respond to the new pressures of globalization. These discussions have repeatedly degenerated into polarized views about whether Europe should focus on protecting the jobs it has, or on creating new ones—and are still, towards the end of the year, totally unresolved.
Although pharmaceuticals is demonstrably one of the most successful of Europe's industrial sectors and continues to create high-quality jobs, it is a victim of this strategic confusion. Thus the commission's announcement of a new industrial strategy for Europe, angled towards innovation and enterprise, ran straight into heavy fire from French President Jacques Chirac, determined to demonstrate to his electorate that he was going to make no concessions to a policy that did not pay as much attention to job protection as job creation.
Similarly, the ambitious earlier drafts of new commission strategies specifically for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology had to be watered down to a shadow of their initial aims to avoid offending sensitivities in key member states. As a result, both of these supposedly major plans turned out to be very little more than repetitions of earlier formulae adorned with lavish expressions of pious hope and empty rhetoric.
At the technical level, 2005 has been a challenging year for the European Medicines Agency in London. Its main responsibility remains unchanged: the protection and promotion of public and animal health, through the evaluation and supervision of medicines for human and veterinary use. The Agency continues to coordinate the evaluation and supervision of medicinal products throughout the EU, bringing together the scientific resources of the 25 EU member states in a network of 42 national competent authorities, and it has maintained its close cooperation with international partners.
The Agency marked its 10th anniversary in operation during the year, and saw the full entry into force of new legislation that is shaping its future development. At the same time it is having to cope with the emergence of new medical technologies and therapies; the increasing globalization of the pharmaceutical industry and its regulatory environment; the competitiveness of Europe's biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and health care industries; and the increased expectations of society on information access, communication, and transparency. At the last official count, it had about 360 staff members, and a network of some 3500 European experts underpins its scientific work and committees.
Particular attention has been given to reinforcing the safety of medicines, accelerating the availability of medicines to EU patients, and creating the right environment to stimulate research. These initiatives include implementation of the concept of risk management plans, expansion of the scope of medicines to be authorized through the EU's centralized procedure, and the establishment of accelerated assessment, conditional authorization, and compassionate use procedures, as well as procedures for authorization of biosimilar and generic products.
Similarly, and also at technical level, there is also continual expansion in the range of activities that the pharmaceutical unit in the commission covers. It continues to cover its classic areas of responsibility for health-related matters, such as marketing authorizations, clinical trials, blood- and plasma-derived medicines, vaccines, and good manufacturing practice. It retains a strong role in economic affairs too, overseeing competition policy, transparency of pricing and reimbursement, parallel imports, and penalties for noncompliance with EU rules. But it has had to take on additional or intensified tasks, ranging from orphan drugs and pediatric medicines to pharmacovigilance and international harmonization and cooperation, and from counterfeit medicines, pharmacogenetics, and human tissue engineering to making preparations for the accession of future member states to the EU.
At the same time, the staffing situation in the commission remains imperfect. There are only some 20 officials in the unit, and even a year after it lost its senior official (she was transferred to the private staff of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso), a permanent head of unit is still to be confirmed, and it remains under the leadership of only an acting head.

Stage 1 of Overwatch League is in the past. It had it's ups and downs and its own share of drama, but ultimately the London Spitfire came out on top. We are now four weeks into stage two and it seems like OWL is really starting to take on a life of it's own as a minor sports league- Competition and Drama a plenty. In the article we will be rounding up the news from the past few weeks from upsets and our predictions for the league, as well as all of the scandal, bans and fines that have taken place.
This Stage does not seem as cut and dry or as easy to predict as stage 1. In the signing window between stage one and two there have been player trades and pick ups that have shaken things up in some pretty exciting ways. London Spitfire, stage one champions, have notably sold both main tank player Fissure and projectile DPS specialist Rascal. Rascal was sold to Dallas Fuel, a team we will talk about later but sadly even a player as talented as Rascal doesn't seem to have made too much of an impact on that team, whereas Fissure has gone over to the LA Gladiators. Fissure is a player that was revered in Apex as a player in contention for the top tank player spot, along with the likes of Gesture who now plays for the London Spitfire. Fissure had been benched by the Spitfire since they had worked out what their premiere lineup formed of the best from GC Busan and Kongdoo Panthera, and in this last week of competition Fissure demonstrated that this was probably a mistake. After walking off of stage having secured a 4-0 victory against the stage champions and a previously dominant looking Spitfire, Fissure has taken over the internet with Memes of his dominance over his previous teammates popping up everywhere. It is easy to see why; Fissure has been hailed by casters in previous matches as having near flawless tank play on both Reinhardt and Winston. He is always in the right place at the right place at the right time, his game-sense is absolutely phenomenal and his ability to make individual plays as a tank is absolutely outstanding. Is the hype over Fissure justified? Will be prove to be the carry tank that the Gladiators need to prove themselves as the top western team? It is too early to say at this point. One thing is for sure, Fissure is definitely our player to watch as be looks to create a fissure between his team and the rest of the teams from the west.
Teams like the LA Valiant, Houston Outlaws and Boston Uprising are either looking inconsistent or are simply struggling a lot more this season. One would assume this is because of the Meta shift between stage one and two. Mercy is no longer queen of the game and so a lot more comps have become viable and map specific, meaning teams have to have a few more looks at as dominant a state as their preferred composition. The Valiant and the Outlaws have enough raw talent that you can probably assume they'll have the current wrinkles in their game sorted out by the end of this stage, although by then it could be too late and for the Outlaws especially it could take a player signing to solve their missing Tracer specialist issue. Unfortunately the Uprising seem to have really broken down the Mercy with dive play style but outside of that they are looking more than little shaky at times; some more solid tank play however and we could see the DPS firepower on this team allowed to shine.
Our top three picks for contenders to the throne are as follows:
1) New York XL. A team that is looking more consistently terrifying than anyone else in the league at the moment, and only taken down by the Philadelphia Fusion who are a team who's playstyle directly counters the NYXL's considered and surgical style. Saebyeolbe is continuing to prove that he could well be on a level above any other Tracer player in the League, and mayeb in the world, which is certainly a feather in the cap of the NYXL.
2) London Spitfire. The stage one champions are still looking dominant, which cracks in the armour only starting to show in more recent matches against some wild card opponents. We still place the Spitfire very highly and see no reason why we will not see this team of super humans in the playoffs to secure a second stage victory.
3) Wildcard! Philadelphia Fusion! This team swing wildly between looking like they could take any of the giants in the League down, to getting pushed to have to reverse sweep almost every team they play. They are a team with an extraordinary amount of potential and can look absolutely untouchable at times. If they can work out some of their weaknesses and solve some of their over aggression issues, they could absolutely be in contention to walk away with a stage victory in the inaugural season.
The Drama
As with any sporting league it seem that some of the players and coaches are incapable of behaving and following the example set by most of their peers and colleagues. For the sake of simplicity I will insert verbatim the outline of rule violation and sanctions against each offender below:
Timo "Taimou" Kettunen, of the Dallas Fuel, is fined $1,000 for using anti-gay slurs on his personal stream.
Tae-yeong "TaiRong" Kim, of the Houston Outlaws, has received a formal warning for posting an offensive meme on social media. After the incident, TaiRong issued an unprompted public apology, and made a donation to the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, actions which were taken into account when determining the judgment against him.
Ted "Silkthread" Wang, of the Los Angeles Valiant, is fined $1,000 for account sharing, a violation of the Blizzard End User License Agreement.
Félix "xQc" Lengyel, of the Dallas Fuel, is suspended for four matches, effective March 12, and fined $4,000. xQc repeatedly used an emote in a racially disparaging manner on the league's stream and on social media, and used disparaging language against Overwatch League casters and fellow players on social media and on his personal stream. Previously, xQc has been warned, fined, and suspended for similar infractions.
Obviously one of these offences is not on the level of the other three, Silkthread violating Blizzard End User License Agreement is not fantastic but honestly not the end of the world. TaiRong made what at the very least was a very tasteless and inappropriate joke (you can find it on twitter if you must but it will not be posted here) but his actions since have demonstrated a sense of personal responsibility that the League deem to be just compensation.
Taimou and xQc are both players from the Dallas Fuel and have both now done and said things on their stream that really are inexcusable, especially for people with their level of exposure and with the amount of young people that look up to them. xQc's recent actions especially have caused a slew of his fans to now take what was deems a racially insensitive action and turn it into a meme in the Twitch chat of the Overwatch League, which is very disappointing and led to a number of bans which makes the OWL twitch a far less friendly place to be. One would hope that the responsibility and influence that these players have dawns on them and some responsibility can be taken before things get out of hand like this again. Behaviour like this is unacceptable and it is at least positive to see the League deal with these issues.
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for OWL updates as Stage 2 unfolds! Feel free to join our discord below and to follow us on twitter! Let us know who you are supporting and who you think will walk away with the crown! GG!
Ezcarrot.
[EDIT] Since time of writing xQc has been released from the Dallas Fuel for his actions. This would seem to be a good move for both the League and for Lengyel, hopefully a return to full time streaming with mean that an xQc scandal a week is not the most talked about aspect of the League going forward and xQc can focus on things that make him happier. For more discussion on this topic go to @realEZCARROT on twitter and let me know your thoughts.

Q: Detect duplicated header in HTTP::Response I have a problem with a HTTP::Response Perl object from a remote server that sometimes returns the HTTP response with duplicated 'Content-Length' headers.
When this occurs, if the content-length value is '43215', when I read the header value with:
print ($response->header('Content-length'));

the result is:
4321543215

How can I detect if the header is duplicated and access to the real value?

A: From the fine manual for HTTP::Headers:

A multi-valued field will be returned as separate values in list context and will be
  concatenated with "," as separator in scalar context.

and this is list context:
print ($response->header('Content-length'))

So, $response->header() is returning both Content-length headers as a list and the result is, essentially:
print join('', 43215, 43215)

You can either use kork's $response->content_length() approach or grab all the Content-length headers in an array and use the first one as the length:
my @lengths = $response->header('Content-length');
my $length  = $lengths[0];

If you end up getting multiple Content-length headers and they're different then someone is very confused.

A: You cannot detect this, at least not reliably. You could of course split the header value in the middle and try to find out if the left value is equal to the right but when you got sizes like 4444, you don't know if it's duplicated or not. The only chance to fix this is fixing it in the upstream server that sends you duplicated headers.
You could maybe try to access the content length via the content_length property:
$response->content_length

Maybe this is aware of duplicate headers, but i did not try it.


#Notable people like any people die. The more notable they are, the more articles there are about them on the many Wikipedias.
Many issues resolve themselves when a person dies and consequently, death is a moment where Wikipedia articles are revisited.
When a recent death is registered on Wikidata, it makes sense to inform all the Wikipedias that have an article. The first thing that is needed is for Wikidata to be able to show these most recent deaths.


Supporting the construction of necessary infrastructure, contributes to the Commission's energy policy priorities of improving energy security, whilst giving consumers more choice, and spurring economic growth and jobs. These interconnections are also essential for renewable energy sources to thrive and make Europe world number one in renewable energy.
"Europe's energy system is moving fast from an energy system of the last century to a low-carbon, more digital and consumer-oriented one. The energy transition is well underway in Europe, with record levels of renewable energy and rapidly falling costs.
"Europe's energy infrastructure must develop in the same direction and with the same speed to fully support this energy transition towards a climate neutral Europe".
A climate neutral European economy at the horizon 2050 will be achieved only with an adequate and smart infrastructure ensuring optimal interconnection and sectoral integration.
Increased cross-border and regional cooperation will allow reaping the full benefits of the modernisation and transformation of Europe's economy.
The 2019 CEF Energy call for proposals will be open until 13 June 2019. To apply for CEF Energy funding, projects must first be designated Projects of Common Interest (PCIs). PCIs need to have a significant impact on at least two EU countries and must increase competitiveness, enhance the EU's energy security and contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection.
CEF-Energy envisages a total budget of €5.35 billion (£4.63 billion) for trans-European energy infrastructure for the period 2014-2020. In order to be eligible for a grant, a proposal has to be 'a project of common interest' (PCI).
When completed, the projects will each result in significant benefits for at least two Member States, enhance security of supply, contribute to market integration, and enhance competition, as well as reduce CO2 emissions.
The Union-wide list of Projects of Common Interest is updated every two years. The latest PCI list was published by the Commission in November 2017.
The CEF-Energy has allocated €3.4 billion (£2.94 billion) to PCIs to date.

Q: Joda Time: Invalid format. Data is malformed Trying to process this string with date and time:

I suspect my error is near the ZZZ parameter, but cannot solve it. I also tried the parameters ZZZZ, ZZ, but that didn't fix it.

A: This happens because the string you are trying to parse contains a T, which is not in the format string.
You are trying to parse a string which is in the standard ISO 8601 format. You do not need a custom date format string for this, because Joda Time already supports this format by default. Just do:
DateTime jodaTime = DateTime.parse(transactionDateValue);

A: Your Format must be:
DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ");

It must be exactly like the date string, with the fixed values escaped by single quotes and without additional blanks.
Also you have to use HHfor 24 hours Format. hh is 12 hours Format and it starts at 1 and Ends on 12

A rosca punho é um exercício de treinamento com pesos para o desenvolvimento apenas dos músculos flexores do punho do antebraço. Portanto, é um exercício isolado. Para melhor trabalho da região, esse exercício deve ser feito em combinação com a "rosca punho invertida" (também chamada extensão do punho) para garantir o desenvolvimento igual dos músculos flexores e extensores do punho.

A rosca punho pode ser realizada com um halter ou com as duas mãos segurando uma barra. Para executar uma flexão de punho sentado, o executante deve estar sentado em um banco com os joelhos flexionados e os antebraços apoiados na coxa, ou com os antebraços em um banco e as mãos penduradas na borda. A palma da mão deve estar voltada para cima e a mão deve estar livre para se mover completamente para cima e para baixo. No ponto de partida, o punho deve ser dobrado para trás, para que os dedos estejam quase apontando para o chão. Em movimento constante, o executante deve subir o peso usando os músculos do antebraço para elevar a mão o máximo possível. O antebraço em si deve permanecer apoiado na coxa. Em seguida, o peso deve ser abaixado lentamente de volta ao ponto inicial.

Para executar uma flexão de punho em pé, uma barra pode ser segurada nas duas mãos com as palmas voltadas para trás. A barra deve estar atrás do executante. O mesmo movimento deve ser realizado como na rosca punho sentado. A amplitude de movimento será menor, mas a rosca punho em pé oferece o benefício de fornecer o máximo de estresse aos músculos alvo na sua contração máxima.
