"Enamorado Por Primera Vez" (English: "In Love For the First Time") is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias from his second studio album, Vivir (1997). The song was written by Iglesias and produced by Rafael Pérez-Botija. It was released as the lead single from the album on 18 January 1997. A pop power ballad which he wrote when he was 18, the song is about the singer feeling like he is falling in love for the first time again. The song received positive reactions from three music journalists, although one critic wrote an unfavorable review of it.

The song was a recipient of an ASCAP Latin Award in 1998. Commercially, it debuted on top of the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, spending 12 weeks on this position. The song also reached number one on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay genre charts. On the year-end charts, it ended at the fourth and second positions on the Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts, respectively. The music video for "Enamorado Por Primera Vez" features Iglesias and a band performing the song and intersperses scenes with a woman in a bedroom.

Background and composition
In 1995, Iglesias released his eponymous debut album, which sold over 4.7 million copies worldwide and had five of its singles reach number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs in the US. In August 1996, El Informador reported that Iglesias was working on a follow-up album and it would be released in January the following year. The album's title of Vivir was revealed by Iglesias in December 1996, before it was eventually released on 28 January 1997. He also announced that the album was produced by Rafael Pérez-Botija and he had co-written its tracks with Roberto Morales. One of the songs Iglesias solely composed for Vivir was "Enamorado Por Primera Vez", which he penned when he was 18; it is a pop power ballad that features a guitar solo. Iglesias clarified that the song is not about falling in love for the first time, but rather "about the feelings one gets when they fall in love" and added: "It's always the same feeling. Each time you fall in love, it seems like the first time." The song was originally intended to be recorded for Enrique Iglesias, but Iglesias decided to hold it off until Vivir.

Promotion and reception
"Enamorado Por Primera Vez" was released as the lead single from the album on 18 January 1997. "Enamorado Por Primera Vez" was later included on Iglesias' compilation albums The Best Hits (1999) and Enrique Iglesias: 95/08 Éxitos (2008). A music video for the song was filmed which features Iglesias performing it with a band being interspersed with a woman in a bedroom. Writing for the San Antonio Express-News, Ramiro Burr remarked that the song has a "slow acoustic beginning before building with catchy choruses". La Prensa de San Antonio editor Diana Raquel called it a "beautiful ballad". Los 40 editor Noemi Fernández listed it as one of Iglesias' ten best songs. Mario Tarradell of the Houston Chronicle criticized the track as "empty, as innocuous as most of the hits from his career-launching release".

The track was recognized as one of the best-performing songs of the year on the Pop/Ballad field at the 1998 ASCAP Latin Awards. In the US, "Enamorado Por Primera Vez" debuted on top of the Hot Latin Songs chart, making it Iglesias's sixth number one song on the chart as well as the second song in the chart's history to debut at number one after "El Palo" by Juan Gabriel; the song spent 12 weeks on this position. The song also topped the Latin Pop Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay  genre charts, spending 11 weeks at the top of on this spot on the former chart, the longest-running number one song of the year. On the year-end charts, "Enamorado Por Primera Vez" ended 1997 as the fourth best-performing song of 1997 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and the second best-performing song on the Latin Pop Airplay chart after "Por Debajo de la Mesa" by Luis Miguel.

Q: zsh: What does hist_find_no_dups mean?
  HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS
         When searching for history entries in the line editor, do not display duplicates of a line previously found, even if  the  duplicates  are  not contiguous.

However, when I use Ctrl-p repeatedly, same command appears.
$ ls
$ pwd
$ ls
$ <Ctrl-p> => ls
  <Ctrl-p> => pwd
  <Ctrl-p> => ls  again!

zsh 5.0.5 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0)

A: hist_find_no_dups doesn't guarantee that all lines will by unique, you might be searching back through repeated pair of lines.
If you don't want to have duplicate lines  then look into hist_ignore_all_dups. It will stop repeated commands from appearing in your history file but it might introduce unexpected gaps - something to be aware of if you're reusing parts of your history.
Another option to look into is hist_ignore_dups. This prevents consecutive duplicates from being saved.
Last, but not least, there's hist_save_no_dups (ignores duplicates when writing history file) and hist_expire_dups_first, which will start removing repeating commands when limit of $HISTSIZE will be reached.

A: Ctrl-P is the same as up arrow, it allows you to access previous commands written in history.
HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS makes an effect when you search for previous commands by pressing Ctrl+R, it will skip duplicates.

HOLTZ, HELMUTH HEINRICH DIEDRICH (1833–1915). Helmuth Heinrich Diedrich Holtz, artist, sailor, and Union soldier, was born on January 1, 1833, to Johann Christian Helmuth and Margaretha Christine (Berg) Holtz in Kappeln, Schleswig. The elder Holtz was a hoop maker there, and apparently his son learned his father's trade. Young Helmuth became a sailor, perhaps in Germany, and in 1860 visited the Texas ports of Indianola and Matagorda. From the bay on board the barque Texana he sketched views of the two towns and a view of the hotel at Matagorda. Holtz apparently sent these three views back to Hamburg, where they were reproduced by Eduard Lang's lithographic establishment.

On October 6, 1862, Holtz enlisted in the Union Navy. He gave his profession as "sailor." He served as coxswain on the steam-powered gunboat Westfield, the flagship of Commander W. B. Renshaw, commanding officer of the Texas blockade. During the Confederate recapture of Galveston on January 1, 1863, the Westfield ran aground and blew up prematurely while Renshaw and several others were still on board trying to scuttle her to prevent her capture. A Union transport apparently saved Holtz.

After seeing this action, Holtz was assigned to the USS Estrella, another light-draft, steam-powered gunboat, at Bayou Teche, Louisiana. Two of his drawings of naval actions in Louisiana were reproduced as engravings in the May 30, 1863, issue of Harper's Weekly. His final duty with the navy was quartermaster work on the store bark USS J. C. Kuhn, from which he was honorably discharged at New Orleans on October 10, 1863. He next worked as a draftsman in the Engineer Office, Military Division of the Gulf, where he helped produce maps for Gen. Philip H. Sheridan.
After the war Holtz remained in New Orleans, where, on May 2, 1865, he married Babetta (Strumpf), widow of Richard Beer. He was listed variously in the city directories from 1866 until 1870 as an engineer, civil engineer, and grocer. Around 1871 he apparently returned to Schleswig, where Babetta died in 1875. He was working there as a hoop maker again when he married his second wife, Kazia Auguste Nicoline Lorenzen, on August 6, 1880. By 1886 the couple returned to New Orleans, where Holtz worked as a draftsman. In the directories for the year 1887–88 he is listed as a leveler with the city surveyor's office. Several months before his death in New Orleans on August 23, 1915, he completed a pension application in which he listed three children.

OMAHA — I don't remember how many years it had been since I attended a USBC/ABC Hall of Fame ceremony, but it was much too long ago.
That ended on Wednesday night when I saw the induction of the class of 2015 — Liz Johnson, Larry Laub, Gus Yannaras, Sam Lantto and the late Fritzie Rahn from Chicago.
The speeches were emotional, heartfelt, humorous and captivating. The USBC did a nice job preparing the video highlights of all the inductees.
I had met Johnson a few times and saw her make the match play finals at the PBA Tournament of Champions in Indianapolis this year. She is still clearly at the top of her game and well deserving of the honor.
Laub and Yannaras are old friends of mine from when I was on the PBA road staff. Ironically, I was also in attendance when Laub was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in 1985.
Yannaras and Lantto were honored for their outstanding performances in the ABC/USBC tournaments, and Rahn won eight titles in the USBC Women's Championships.
I sat at a table with Toby Contreras, a PBA champ from Kansas City, and we had a great time talking about his best tournaments on tour and some memorable and fun times we had with Laub off the lanes.
And there were bowling greats and other hall of fame bowlers all around us. I knew most of them, but had not seen some of them in many years.
I chatted with Virginia Norton, Fran Deken (who ran the women's pro tour for years), Les Zikes, Bill Spigner, Bob Hart, Betty Morris (Laub's wife), Lynda Norry Barnes, Jeff Richgels, Steve James, Elaine Hagin, Hazel McLeary, Sylvia Broyles, Wichita State coaches Gordon Vadakin and Mark Lewis, Rick Steelsmith and the Wisconsin group of Dale Traber, Lennie Boresch and Gary Daroszewski, who bowl with Yannaras.
Also in attendance were PBA stars Rhino Page, Mike Fagan and Kelly Kulick, old friends Rich Abboud and Paul Wolf, and some old friends from Texas who were attending the USBC Convention this week.
So it was great reconnecting with them and catching up on the good old days!
I just hope I don't have to wait another 20 or so years to attend another one of these events.

The 2020 Season, Week 3- Lions vs. Bowie State
Russell McLean / April 17, 2020
September 29, 2018: Bowie State player run on to the field during CIAA football action between Bowie State University and Winston-Salem State University in Bowie. Photo by: Chris Thompkins/Prince George's Sentinel
Greetings, Lion fans, and we here at The Wire hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. We're starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
In this edition of the 2020 season preview, we take a closer look at the Bowie State Bulldogs, who make the trek south to Commerce from Maryland for a 6 pm kickoff. The Bulldogs, CIAA conference champions in 2019, finished the season 11-1, with first round loss to a name that Lion fans are familiar with, Carson Newman. Let's break down the matchup.
2019 Record: 11-1, CIAA Conference Champions
Biggest Win: Fayetteville State, 23-7 (Conference Championship)
Biggest Loss: Carson Newman, 17-9 (First Round Division II Playoff)
Returning Starters: 7 Offense, 6 Defense
Points- 39.6 ppg
Rushing- 210.3 ypg
Passing- 212.6 ypg
Total- 422.9 ypg
Turnovers- 23
Returning Leaders-
Rushing- Jarome Johnson, QB, (6'1″ 170 lbs., Sr.) 113-1,177 yds. 12 TD Long 69
Calil Wilkins, RB, (5'8″ 205 lbs., Sr) 148-731 yds. 5 TD Long 56
Passing- Johnson 131-225-9 1,860 yds. 22 TD Long 80
Receiving- Darius Bowman, WR, (5'9″ 165 lbs., RS-Soph.) 17-284 yds., 10 TD Long 75
Montez Clay, WR, (5'11" 185 lbs., RS-Sr.) 16-250 yds., 4 TD Long 38
THE SKINNY-Johnson returns for his senior season as the main cog in the Bulldog offense. A dual threat quarterback much in the mold of Miklo Smalls, Johnson is very capable of making plays with his feet as well.
Bowie State loses their top three receivers from 2019, but return two very capable wideouts in Montez and Clay. They will certainly be a challenge with a balanced attack and the ability to put up a lot of point in a hurry.
DEFENSE-
Tackles- Joshua Pryor, DL, (6'4″ 280 lbs., RS-Jr.) 70 (35 solo), 13 sacks
Jordan Carter, LB, (5'11" 185 lbs., RS-Soph.) 39 (25 solo)
Chauncey Jackson, LB, (6'0″ 218 lbs., Sr.) 39 (20 solo)
Interceptions- Demetri Morsell, DB, (5'11" 170 lbs., Jr.) 9 3 TD's Long 92
THE SKINNY-Pryor returns as the anchor of the defense, Morsell is a big play ball hawk in the secondary, with 3 returns for touchdowns. They are an experienced and talented group that thrives on turning the opponent over.
SPECIAL TEAMS-
Punt Returns- Morsell- 9-19.3 yds. Long 24
Bowman- 6-17.3 yds. Long 39 1 TD
Kick Returns- Victor Olayinka, WR (5'10" 165 lbs., Soph.) 17-17.8 yds, Long 31
Raymond Boone, DB (6'0″ 195 lbs., RS-Soph.) 8-20.5 yds. Long 32
THE SKINNY-Bowie State is replacing both their punter and kicker this season. Morsell, Bowman, along with Olayinka and Boone, are very effective in the return game while not being particularly explosive.
THE LOW DOWN-AD Tim McMurray pulls a rabbit out of his hat and scheduled the Lions a great matchup, especially early in the year. Bowie State comes in off an outstanding season that resulted in a conference title and playoff berth. This will certainly help David Bailiff and his crew come playoff time, when the difference in seeding and hosting a game at home can be razor thin. The Lions, on the surface, have a tremendous advantage here. Bowie State makes the trek to Commerce on what surely will be a warm and sultry evening. In addition, the Bulldogs do not seem to be as strong as their record would indicate. Their collective record of their opponents in 2019 was 31-45, including playoffs. The offense is trying to replace their top three receivers from last year, and defensively, the Bulldogs thrive on turnovers. If the Lions are able to secure the ball, and play to their potential, they should win this one.

Tag Archives: Test team of the year
Eyes on the prize: the 2018 Elephant Sport cricket awards
December 13, 2018 News & FeaturesElyse Perry, James Anderson, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, ODI team of the year, Prithvi Shaw, Rashid Khan, Rishabh Pant, Sam Curran, Test team of the year, Virat KohliAmar Patel
As 2018 draws to a close, we reveal our pick of the cricketers who have had a huge impact on their sport in the past year.
Batsman of the Year: Virat Kohli (India)
It has been a year in which ball has dominated bat, especially in England, and only one top order batsman has looked a class above everyone else.
India skipper Virat Kohli endured a torrid time during India's last tour of England in 2014, when he had issues with poking at balls pitched just outside his off stump.
This meant that he had to work on his technique and in particular, the positioning of his feet, both inside and outside the batting crease.
The changes made by there 30-year-old benefitted him immensely as it has enabled him to consistently score runs in all three formats in 2018.
He went past 1,000 runs for third consecutive season, and is international cricket's leading scorer in 2018. Can he continue to dominate in Australia on India's current tour and in 2019?
Captain of the Year: Joe Root (England)
It has been an interesting year for the England Test skipper. Having lost the 2017-18 Ashes series down under, defeat in New Zealand was followed by a drawn home series with Pakistan, questions were asked about inconsistent decision-making in both Root's captaincy and batting.
During his first news conference as Test captain, he talked about wanting to make his team more aggressive in terms of the style of play, but there is a difference between being aggressive and reckless.
The series win against India was crucial for him as captain. Had England lost it, more questions would have been raised over his appointment, especially after the drawn Pakistan series.
But the 27-year-old proved the critics wrong by guiding England to a 4-1 home series win against India, who were the No.1 ranked team in Tests, followed by a first Test series victory in Sri Lanka in which they earned a 3-0 whitewash.
Bowler of the Year: James Anderson (England)
It has been another great year for England's highest wicket-taker in Test matches.
Anderson surpassed Glen McGrath's record of 563 wickets to become the most successful fast bowler in the longer format. It came when he knocked over Mohammad Shami to seal victory in the penultimate test of the summer against India at The Oval, and he went on to make it 565 in Sri Lanka.
His next target is former Indian leg spinner Anil Kumble, who is third on the all-time list with 619 wickets in 132 Tests. However, England's No.1 strike bowler is now 36 years old, so how long can he continue to thrive at the highest level?
All-Rounder of the Year: Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)
There are many contenders who can make a claim for being the best all-rounder of 2018, but we rarely see anyone from an associate nation who has the ability to become a high-quality player in the space of a calendar year.
Afghanistan have produced a mystery wrist spinner in Rashid Khan, who in his first season in the Indian Premier League bamboozled almost every batsman with his variation of deliveries.
Khan, 20, also played some crucial cameos with the bat to help his IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad post some scores which they could defend with their high-quality bowling attack.
It will be interesting to see how he adapts to red ball cricket, especially after Afghanistan played their first official Test against India early this year.
Fielder of The Year: Kane Williamson (New Zealand)
Great fielding is needed by bowlers to help them put batsmen under pressure, but before the Jonty Rhodes era, it was always ranked a poor third among the skills required to be a professional cricketer.
South Africa's Rhodes played a huge role in raising the standards of fielding, with his countless memorable diving catches and direct-hit run-outs.
Nowadays, most of the top teams have some really good athletic fielders, such as New Zealand captain Williamson, 28, who has taken some great catches this year.
The best of them came during the first Test against England where he took a fantastically acrobatic catch at gully to dismiss Stuart Broad.
Female Cricketer of the Year: Elyse Perry (Australia)
Women's cricket continued to make great strides in 2018, and nowhere was this more apparent than in an exciting 2018 Women's Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies.
Perry's Australia defeated Heather Knight's England in the final to claim their fourth World T20 title in the last five tournaments.
Perry, 28, is an all-rounder who bats right-handed and bowls right arm fast. In 2018, she became the first Aussie player – male or female – to notch up 100 international T20 matches.
Test and ODI Teams of the Year
Test: Joe Root (Eng, Captain), Aiden Markram (SA), Usman Khawaja (Aus) Virat Kohli (Ind), Jos Buttler WK (England, wkt), Ben Stokes (Eng), Adil Rashid (Eng), Jasprit Bumrah (Ind), James Anderson (Eng), Moeen Ali (Eng), Mohammad Abbas (Pak); 12th man Sam Curran (Eng).
ODI: Rohit Sharma (Ind), Jason Roy (Eng) Virat Kohli (Ind, Captain), Joe Root (Eng), Jos Buttler (Eng, wkt), AB de Villiers (SA), Ben Stokes (Eng), Kuldeep Yadav (Ind), Andrew Tye (Aus), Rashid Khan (Afg).
Sam Curran (England) Age: 20
Since making his Test debut in the second Test of the summer against Pakistan, Curran has played a huge role for England with both bat and ball, especially in the series against India.
The left-handed all-rounder played a pivotal role down the order, where made some useful scores to get England out of trouble, especially when their top order failed to produce.
It was he, along with Buttler and Stokes, who frustrated the Indian bowlers as they managed to get England out of a tricky situation and into a position of strength.
Curran also claimed some important wickets, including India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane. He scored a total of 272 runs, including two scores of 50 or more. His highest was 78, which he achieved in the first innings of the fourth Test at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton.
Although Curran had an average tour of Sri Lanka, he is surely one of the players to watch in 2019.
Prithvi Shaw (India) Age: 19
Indian cricket has been blessed with high-class and talented batsmen including the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Kohli. In terms of the next generation, Shaw is classed as one of the potential stars of the future.
He started his Test career against West Indies, scoring his maiden Test century in the first match in Rajkot in November. He was then selected for India's team to tour Australia but sprained his ankle in a practice match against a Cricket Australia XI.
This meant he missed out on an opportunity to play in the first Test in Adelaide. Will he be able to feature in any of the three remaining Tests down under?
Rishabh Pant (India) Age: 21
Another of India's future prospects is wicketkeeper batsman Pant. During India's victory in the first Test against the Aussies, Pant took 11 catches, which equals the highest number by a wicketkeeper in a Test match after AB de Villiers and former England gloveman Jack Russel.
Pant, who is usually associated with Twenty20, made his debut during the third Test against England at Trent Bridge in August 2018. He then scored a swashbuckling maiden Test century in the fifth Test of the England series at The Oval.
Although his ton was for a losing cause, his innings showed glimpses of the kind of talent he has to succeed in the game, especially in the one-day and T20 formats.
The left-hander has already made a great start to his career by achieving small milestones such as being the first Indian batsman to hit a six off his first ball in Test cricket.
What will 2019 bring for this exciting youngster?

"You need counseling," carries a negative connotation, just as "You've got a disease" does as well. In the medical profession, there's been a shift to preventative healthcare to keep the disease away in addition to the traditional care of the sick. This shift has had a major impact in the increase in longevity of the American people. Therefore, if you carry this same idea over in counseling, the result will be an improvement in the psychological and emotional well-being of the American people.
For example, don't wait until the emotional divorce has already taken place. Engage in counseling when times are rocky. Better yet if you're a young couple considering marriage, take a premarital class to start off with your best foot forward. On the other hand, if the divorce was inevitable, there's also professional help as well. If there are life issues such as marital strife, loss of a loved one, or family troubles, come on in to the Counseling Resource Center and talk to someone professionally. If there are areas of challenging life adjustments or psychological or emotional difficulties, come on in and experience caring professionals.
Counseling Resource Center is staffed by caring state licensed professional counselors who want to help.
For children, there is a state licensed play therapist on staff.
For adolescents, an age with many concerns; many of these concerns are addressed at Counseling Resource Center.
For adults, a wide range of counseling resources are available for men and women. Click on the topic for more information.

The Kyiv Opera group was formally established in the summer of 1867, and is the third oldest in Ukraine, after Odessa Opera and Lviv Opera.

The Kyiv Opera Company perform at the National Opera House of Ukraine named after Taras Shevchenko in Kyiv. The opera in 2 acts, Natalka Poltavka, was the last scheduled performance before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

History

Early history: 1867 - 20th century

Established in the summer of 1867 by Ferdinand Berger (? - 1875). Berger succeeded in inviting many talented singers, musicians, and conductors, and the city council (duma) had offered the newly created troupe to use the City Theatre (constructed in 1856, architect I. Shtrom) for their performances. Officially, the theatre was named the City Theatre but was most commonly referred to as the Russian Opera. The day of the first performance, November 8 (October 27 old style), 1867 was made a city holiday. The performance of the opera Askold's Tomb by Alexey Verstovsky was the troupe's debut. The initial success is attributed to the vocal talents of that time of O. Satagano-Gorchakova, F. L'vov, M. Agramov but also the captivating plot taken from some principal pages of the ancient history of the city.

Early performances were mostly Russian operas, including Ruslan and Ludmila by Mikhail Glinka, Rusalka by Alexander Dargomyzhsky, Maccabees by Anton Rubinstein and The Power of the Fiend by A. Serov, as well as translated European operas including The Barber of Seville by Rossini, The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart, Der Freischütz by Weber, Lucia di Lammermoor by Donizetti, and operas by Giuseppe Verdi, which became the favorite of the Kyivites.

On February 4, 1896, after a morning performance of Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky, a fire erupted from an unextinguished candle in the theatre. The fire consumed the whole building within several hours. One of the largest musical libraries in Europe along with numerous costumes and stage props of many performances were lost during the fire. After the fire of the City Theatre, the troupe performed on other stages for several years, including Bergonie's Theatre (now the National Theatre of Russian Drama named after Lesya Ukrainka), Solovtsov's Theatre (now the National Theatre named after Ivan Franko) and even on the arena of the famous Krutikov's Circus.

Early 20th century
After the fire, the City Council had announced the international competition to design a new building for the Opera Theatre in Kyiv. The winning proposal was by Victor Schröter. The exterior was designed in Neo-Renaissance style and had accounted for the needs of the actors and the spectators. The interior was redesigned in a classical style and called Viennese Modern. However, his greatest achievement is considered to be the stage - one of the largest in Europe designed to the latest engineering standards.

On , the solemn opening of the new premise of the theatre took place with a performance of cantata Kyiv by composer Wilhelm Hartweld (1859 - 1927) and a presentation of the opera Life for the Tsar by M. Glinka.

On , there was a performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's The Tale of Tsar Saltan at the Kyiv Opera House in the presence of the Tsar and his two oldest daughters, the Grand Duchesses Olga and Tatiana. The theater was occupied by 90 men posted as interior guards. During the intermission of a performance Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin was killed.
According to Alexander Spiridovich, after the second act "Stolypin was standing in front of the ramp separating the parterre from the orchestra, his back to the stage. On his right were Baron Freedericks and Gen. Suhkomlinov." His personal bodyguard had gone to smoke. Stolypin was shot twice, once in the arm and once in the chest by Dmitry Bogrov, a leftist revolutionary, trying to rehabilitate himself. Bogrov ran to one of the entries and was subsequently caught.  "He [Stolypin] turned toward the Imperial Box, then seeing the Tsar who had entered the box, he made a gesture with both hands to tell the Tsar to go back." The orchestra began to play "God Save the Tsar." The doctors hoped Stolypin would recover, but despite never losing consciousness, his condition deteriorated. The next day, the distressed Tsar knelt at Stolypin's hospital bedside and kept repeating the words "Forgive me". Stolypin died three days later.

In the first decade of the 20th century, the Kyiv Opera Theatre attracted the most outstanding Ukrainian and Russian singers, including O. Petlyash, P. Tsecevich, K. Voronets, M. Medvedev, K. Brun, O. Mosin and O. Kamionsky and famous opera stars from the West often came on tours. Several unusual for the time performances took place on the stage: Die Walkure by Wagner, Sadko by Rimsky-Korsakov and Mefistofele by Arrigo Boito.

Ukrainian state
In 1917, the opera house was used not only for art but also for congresses. In particular, in 1917 the Second All-Ukrainian Military Congress was held in the Opera House well known for the First Universal of the Ukrainian Central Council proclamation.

At the time Ukrainian State, the Kyiv Opera was called the Ukrainian Drama and Opera Theater . Operas were staged in Ukrainian translation, particularly in 1918 were staged: "Faust", "La Traviata", "Bohemia", "Madame Butterfly" and others. It was written in Ukrainian press that Ukrainian State Opera has every reason and potential to become one of the best theaters of its time, while warning that "Ukrainian State Opera should not repeat the history of Petrograd state theaters, which gave foreign culture and citizenship culture…" and stressing that it is necessary to "organize the work of the opera artistically strong, national and cultural".

Soviet time
After Ukraine was annexed by Soviet Union the theater was nationalized and named as K. Liebknecht State Opera House. In 1926 it was renamed as Kyiv State Academic Ukrainian Opera, and in 1934, when Kyiv was returned the capital status - Academic Opera and Ballet Theater of the USSR. In 1936 the theater was awarded Order of Lenin, and in 1939 was named after Taras Shevchenko.

According to the Decree of the People's Commissar of 1926 all the operas were performed in Ukrainian language. This inspired the establishment of the full value of Ukrainian culture and the Ukrainian language. The tradition of performing opera in Ukrainian translations succeeded until the early 1990s.

In 1981 the world premiere of a ballet based on the life of Olga of Kiev was performed to commemorate the 1500th anniversary of the city.

1990–2010s
In 1991–1999, the National Opera was headed by Anatoliy Mokrenko. At this time, the theater is gradually beginning to abandon Ukrainian-language translations, which was explained by economic difficulties and the need for touring activities for artists survival.

Swimmers brave the cold sea for Christmas Day dip
Swimmers have headed to the coast for Christmas Day dips across the country.
Donning a variety of Christmas hats, both humans and pets braved the cold waters.
Congregating at Portobello Beach in Edinburgh on Christmas morning, swimmers wore full elf outfits and tutus to jump into the ocean.
People also gathered at Tynemouth Beach in the North East, where similar Christmas costumes were worn by swimmers.
A group of women braved the chilly water together, holding hands as they entered the water.
However, due to bad conditions, the dip at Felixstowe, Suffolk was called off at the last minute, leaving many disappointed spectators and swimmers.
In a series of tweets, St Elizabeth's Hospice, which was hosting the event, said their Christmas Day Dip was been postponed due to windy weather.
The organisation tweeted they were advised that the safety of the participants in the sea could not be guaranteed due to the adverse conditions.
It tweeted: "We are so disappointed that we have to make a change like this so close to the event date.
"It is not a decision we have taken lightly and your safety will always be our number one priority".
They added that they knew the postponement would be a "huge disappointment to many" and that "attending the event is a family tradition and so many people were braving the cold in memory of their loved ones".
Saying it was "truly sorry" for the delay to the "iconic Christmas Day challenge", the charity confirmed that those who intended to take part will have their registrations automatically rolled over to the new date once confirmed.
They later posted that the advice came from Felixstowe volunteer coastal patrol rescue service.
Before the cancellation, two swimmers wearing full clown costumes did take the plunge for a splash in the sea.
Among those who arrived for the Felixstowe swim were people dressed as turkeys, penguins and elves.

I'm betting someone who has relocated their battery to the trunk or does mad autocrossing and has had to use deck screws and rtv to hold it in place now has an extra set of the battery hold down hardware for a 74 tii that I'm missing?
Do you mean just the little triangle shaped bracket that wedges it to the side or the entire battery tray platform?
I have a bolt and wedge, My 74 had no top bracket like modern cars.
Yes, that's what I'm looking for. Down the road I'll probably do something different, but this is a project car that I just need to get roadworthy for the short term.

4 Ensure Workplace Safety
Violence in the workplace is a growing concern. Assault, or the threat of assault, directed toward a worker on duty falls under the category of workplace violence. Stress, economic hardship and the inability to control anger are all contributing factors in this health and safety issue. Though OSHA and other state and government agencies offer practical guidelines about workplace violence, the role of a manager is crucial to its prevention.
One of the first steps in creating a violence prevention program in the workplace is identifying potentially hazardous locations. Managers committed to a safety program should conduct a security analysis of work areas as well as public areas. Review security measures for gaining entrance to the building, as well as into designated work areas. Identify areas that are vulnerable because of ineffective lighting, storage or use of harmful chemicals or equipment that could be used in the commission of a violent act.
Organize a Team
Should violence erupt in the workplace, managers need the assistance of a trained team of employees who are prepared to deal with the situation. Create a crises management team with members from human resources, risk management, security and any other area of expertise that will enhance the effectiveness of the team. Though the team will be on-call in the event of an incident, schedule regular meetings of the team to review workplace violence policies and plans of action. These policies and plans should be updated continuously based on operational changes or identification of potential security risks.
Be In Tune
Managers who are in tune with the staff will recognize behavior that is out of character. If an employee is manifesting erratic behavior, appears to be succumbing to undue pressure or exhibits frequent outbursts, it is time to step in and determine the cause for the behavior before an incident takes place. If the manager feels a potential exists for an incident, he should enlist the help of employee assistance personnel or other designated group. If the issue cannot be handled internally or the situation is deemed grave, contact outside law enforcement.
Facilitate Discussion
Conduct training seminars and round table discussions on the subject of workplace violence. Familiarize all employees with the company's workplace violence prevention programs. Practice safety plans and procedures with employees so everyone knows how to react in a situation. Review procedures for contacting emergency personnel and for evacuating the area. Identify designated safe zones.
Discuss the underlying causes of workplace violence and educate employees on available assistance should the need arise. Educating employees on signs to look for, action to take and policies to follow may aid in the diffusion of a potentially violent occurrence.

A COVID-19 vaccine has passed its first human trial. But is it the frontrunner?
Moderna Therapeutics has just entered phase two of its clinical trials. Here's how mRNA vaccines work and what the latest developments mean.

A promising coronavirus vaccine candidate cleared a key hurdle this week, when Moderna Therapeutics entered phase two of clinical trials. The move signals that the company's mRNA vaccine has passed its initial safety checks and has met an important milestone in bringing this drug closer to the public and commercial markets.
After almost five months of global deaths and economic shutdowns wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, people are anxiously awaiting a glimmer of hope for a return to normal routines. This partly explains the recent frenzy over results from Moderna and its frontrunner candidate, which moved from the company's lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to human trials in a record-setting 63 days.
On May 18, the biotech company had announced preliminary findings that healthy subjects had responded to its mRNA vaccine by producing "neutralising antibodies." Antibodies are the key sentinels made by the immune system to prevent infection by the coronavirus. Experts were quick to point out that the results applied to only eight people out of 45 in the trial, which is being conducted by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The company has not released sufficient information to gauge whether the phase one subjects had protective immune responses, which is widely considered by immunologists to involve more than simply producing antibodies.
But the details that Moderna did present, paired with the latest announcement, suggest that the company may be on its way to achieving something unprecedented: licensing the first mRNA vaccine for human use.

"The results are exciting, because they've got phase one data showing that the vaccine is safe, which is a big deal," says Ali Salem, a drug developer and professor at the University of Iowa's College of Pharmacy who is not involved in the Moderna trial.
The phase two trial will involve an estimated 600 participants spread across 10 sites and eight states. Those sites began screening for subjects last week, and if they qualify based on physical exams, some will receive immunisations starting this coming Monday. After this story initially published, Moderna confirmed via press release that the first participants in each age group of the trial—adults below and above age 55—have received doses of the company's candidate.
"Our principal investigators would easily say that these studies are the most important that they've done in their lifetimes," says Jaime Farra, a marketing director at the Alliance for Multispecialty Research, which is running a site in Newton, Kansas.
How mRNA vaccines emerged
Whenever a germ infects a body, our immune systems scramble to recognise and mount a response. Traditional vaccines take advantage of that response by injecting whole but inactive viruses, or their whole proteins, into our bodies, triggering an immune reaction. These vaccines take time to develop, in part because scientists must grow and inactivate an entire germ or its proteins in a specific way.
Messenger RNA is genetic material made of nucleic acid—the same stuff as our DNA—that travels throughout our cells, giving final instructions on which proteins to build to form the body's cellular architecture. In the early 1990s, scientists wondered what would happen if they manufactured pieces of viral DNA and mRNA and then injected them into human cells or lab animals. The hope was that the cells would take in the genetic snippets, make viral proteins, and trigger an immune response.
In theory, this method would allow scientists to make vaccines faster; instead of weeks, a candidate could be ready to test in hours or days. These vaccine candidates would also be more flexible and durable against germs that tend to evolve through mutation, such as coronaviruses, influenza, and HIV. This could help lead to a universal vaccine that would work against multiple strains of a virus, says Margaret Liu, chairman of the board for the International Society of Vaccines.
Thirty years ago, Liu was among the first wave of lab researchers to try to use DNA and mRNA vaccines; her early results with a universal DNA vaccine for influenza were the first to show protection and showed the most promise—at least in mice. Overall, the early days of DNA vaccines and mRNA vaccines showed repeated success in animal models, which is known as the "pre-clinical" stage of drug development, but then couldn't generate potent immune responses in humans.
"People thought, well, it must be because humans are bigger," Liu says. But that hypothesis lost support after successful DNA vaccines were developed for horses, fish, and California condors.
Meanwhile, mRNA vaccines struggled with weakened stability. Once inside the body, the mRNA from a vaccine breaks down faster than DNA, which also limits the immune potency. Additionally, mRNA can aggravate immune cells, causing adverse reactions. For years, these challenges sidelined mRNA vaccines and relegated DNA vaccines to veterinary medicine.
The pivot in progress
The narrative began to shift in 2005, when scientists at the University of Pennsylvania introduced slight chemical modifications to mRNA vaccines. These changes added durability and made the vaccines safer, causing fewer adverse immune responses.
"A lot of people started to look at mRNA as a therapeutic strategy for a variety of diseases," the University of Iowa's Salem says. One of these offshoots would become "ModeRNA Therapeutics," now known as Moderna, a company created in 2010 after Harvard researcher Derrick Rossi used modified mRNA to reprogram stem cells in a bid to treat cardiovascular disease.
Over the years, the company also came to rely on a popular tool for drug delivery called lipid nanoparticles. By packing genetic material inside a slippery pod made of oily lipids, these particles could more easily slide mRNA into cells, where it could go to work. With safer mRNA technology and better drug delivery, the company was able to expand its portfolio and pursue remedies for cancer and a range of infectious diseases, including the flu. But the major turning point arrived with the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
Dozens of crown-like spikes (red), which give coronaviruses their name, protrude from the surface of the virus and enable infection of a human cell.
After Zika emerged in 2015, laboratories rushed to find a suitable vaccine. Justin Richner, now an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, was part of a multi-university effort to conduct early research on mRNA vaccine candidates made by Moderna Therapeutics. Richner says the team honed the mRNA codes, which led one of Moderna's Zika vaccines into early human trials in 2016—where it stalled.
Moderna Therapeutics did not respond to multiple requests from National Geographic for an interview. But the company's corporate updates, which are not peer-reviewed, can yield clues about their progress with the COVID-19 vaccine. For example, while Moderna's May 18 announcement didn't provide hard numbers about how many antibodies were present in humans or mice after immunisation. But it did reveal that the first phase of its COVID-19 trial has apparently achieved its primary goal to determine the safest drug dosage.
"When you do a first-in-humans clinical trial, the utmost important information to get out is whether the vaccine is safe," says Maria Elena Bottazzi, associate dean at Baylor College of Medicine's National School of Tropical Medicine, who is not involved in the Moderna trial.

She adds that a better sign of success for Moderna may be something that hasn't yet been addressed by the company's statements: T-cells. Antibodies are only one branch of an immune response. T-cells are another. Both can form lasting protection on their own, but T-cells help make antibodies emerge. That matters because DNA and mRNA vaccines are better geared toward triggering T-cells, Bottazzi says, but assessing such a response is laborious and typically reserved for later phases of human trials.
Still, Moderna could have a long way to go. Phase two subjects are slated to be monitored for at least 15 months, though if early signs look good, the vaccine candidate could progress to its final stages later this year.
Regardless of whether Moderna succeeds, the world will need multiple versions to beat the pandemic. Globally, more than a hundred COVID-19 vaccine candidate trials are underway, and so far, multiple companies are reporting promising peer-reviewed results. Numerous bets are ultimately an advantage, because if any single vaccine candidate fails, the others remain to offer continued hope, Bottazzi says.

In honor of my trip to see my grandmother this weekend, I am posting on another recent trip...London! I have been to London several times BUT never when the sun was shining. Let me say that it is beautiful. While there, I spent some time on the famed Portobello Road which was a vintage (well some of it anyway) lovers paradise. Also, really great for street fashion but I was too shy to take picts so you'll have to enjoy these instead. Stay Posh!


For the first time in many years, city residents are banding together to combat crime.
second group has organized to patrol Koala Park.
Neither police nor the residents involved in the watch groups can recall how long it's been since the city's last neighborhood watch was organized or when it disbanded, only that it's been a long time.


customers (jackasses) at the garage sale today?
we had already spent the day together?
and consider just throwing a towel across my lap?
and decide to cook a frozen pizza instead?
I would tilt pizza paddle and drop pizza face down on floor?
What are the chances that I would invoke the 2 second rule?
maybe moving to LA post graduation?
and I'm not sure if that makes me happy or not.
I suppose any week we're all still here is a good one.
on some projects and solving "issues".
One issue is Justice falling down and up?
the stairs in the middle of the night.
A bevy of night lights has not solved the problem.
and no thrill for Miss Justice either.
waiting to be sanded, cleaned, painted and installed.
in the gap and the problem was solved.
You would think, wouldn't ya?
Except remember the other pooch that dwells here?
and passage was once again possible.
a loop of rope solves the problem at night.
a light scratching could be heard..
through the basket to get to me.
had total access to the house..
well except for the bathtubs.
and I find the dog hair remnants gross... so no tubs..
as they have four dog beds on the first floor.
Justice woke up, realized she was alone and started to howl.
some damn good cookies at the holidays..
learn to deal with it Howie.
My car was broken into (again).
I am NEVER going to have again.
The 2nd annual NEVER AGAIN sale is the 29th.
OK OK no excuses..I really don't know why?
The first couple piles, waiting to be sorted and priced.
My 20 year old ash tree is succumbing to some horrible disease that has struck the majority of ash in lala land, and I am so saddened by it's condition.
Sadder still will be me up in the tree with a chain saw.
stop thinking you can do anything?
for my scream or fall so that they can then call for help..
from across town or 2,000 miles away.
What? You see a flaw in my plan?
in several sizes, some may show up on Saturday.
oh, and play Tarzan in the ash tree.
Dearest son was here for the weekend.
Heavenly stuff to a Mama who misses him so.
I expected to see newsprint poking out a-la Depression.
He loved loves these shoes.
Then couldn't a second time..
to let me buy them anything.
But I wheedled and pulled out the big guns..
"But it will make me so happy to do this for you."
Off to the stores this morning.
Now I don't DO malls...EVER..
into the most dreaded of places.
I swear I've bought cars faster.
he could hop in his car and head back to LA.
I said let me shoot those shoes..
that these shoes sucked, no really..C'mon!
"Uh Mom, you know I'm still gonna wear these right?"
and bark at everyone going by.
I bet they think we're fierce.
us distracted so we wouldn't track through the wet.
since Sept 1st to see my pearls of wisdom.
This is an experiment you all should try.
So here are snippets from emails that I sent to family and friends.
After all these many years I am still trying to shape the person I will become. :D .. It's a lot of work!
Ya gotta love Peter O'Toole.
I think we should go to NYC for Christmas....hmmm?
Are you still jumping up and down?
If I'm awake for one more sunrise I may have to kill myself by sundown.
I had been asleep about an hour @6:36... I'm so tired today I could cry.
when they discover a pill that will keep you thin, I will be long gone, and am I gonna be ticked off!!!!
weeping weeping.....rips through my heart..but watching makes me feel that I have not forgotten, that I am respecting the suffering, the loss, that happened to so many thousands..does that make sense?
Pictures of a puppy will help.
Howie before he became incorrigible.
I don't care what the calendar or anyone else says.
I need it, I want it, I NEED it.
I want to turn off the annoying air and fans.
I want to burn candles everywhere.
I want to wear my wooly socks and flannel pj's.
as it does in the blaze of summer.
especially when Howie rocks the bed..
I don't care, it's what I want.
