Please Can The Ghosts of Christmas Change our Vice-Chancellor?
By Caspar Donnison on	 December 24, 2018 Opinion

In the past year Vice-Chancellor Christopher Snowden's pay of £423,000 has been criticised by students, staff, and politicians. You may think that this three-pronged condemnation – similar to the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who visited Scrooge on Christmas Eve – may have led to a change of heart in our VC. However, he has continued to earn this pay whilst simultaneously cutting dozens of staff jobs. If that is not a 21st century Christmas nightmare I don't know what is.

This adds yet another chapter to the long and embarrassing history of VC pay at Southampton. Since 2006, VC pay has increased 116%. Meanwhile, average staff pay has grown 30%, below the increase in the cost of living rise during this period. In 2015-16 we paid more to our VCs than any other university in the UK: £643,000 in total, including a pro rata £418,800 salary for Christopher Snowden, and an incredible pay-off to outgoing VC Don Nutbeam. The following year Snowden commented on his pay increase to £423,000 as "only the cost of living rise" at a student forum, a remark which led to shocked laughter and one that he no doubt regretted afterwards. The salary is also over 10 times average pay at the University of Southampton, and well in excess of 20 times more than the salary of the lowest paid member of staff. It also transpired that Snowden had sat on the very committee that decided his pay. Adding insult to our university community, earlier this year it was reported that executive expenses at Southampton totalled £400,000 in the previous two years, more than at any other university.

Why is this bad? It is surely a principle of leadership that in a time of difficulty the university manager and highest paid member of staff should find savings from cutting their own salary. But Snowden's actions showed no notion of shared sacrifice, with his salary remaining untouched last year, whilst dozens of staff lost their jobs and students continued to struggle with debt. As a result, university morale has been terrible. This was manifested in the both staff strikes over their pension scheme changes and over 90% of more than 2,000 students voting against the VCs "restructuring". With Snowden retiring next year, our new Vice-Chancellor needs at least one quality the previous one lacked: leadership.
The only argument given in defence of VC pay – that of the "competitive market" – is fallacious. It is argued that in a competitive and international job market you have to pay these salaries for the best talent. Firstly, I think that it is offensive to argue that the pool of talent for the job of VC is limited to those who are only willing to get out of bed each morning for £423,000. After he was visited by the Christmas ghosts Scrooge realised that there were more valuable things in life than money. Likewise, there are surely many suitable candidates for our next VC who would be motivated to do the job for reasons other than the size of their salary.
Secondly, the "competitive market" argument is not backed up by evidence. The most comprehensive economic study of VC pay and university performance, looking at 154 universities over 10 years, found that there was no causal link between VC pay and university performance. Instead, the authors suggested that the reason was a case of "keeping up with the Jones's" between universities: paying their VC more purely because other universities were doing the same. When we challenged Snowden on his salary last year he replied that he could have got a job in Australia for three times the pay. If VCs are making these statements, we should let them go to Australia and see who misses who the most.
Finally, these "competitive market" replies sound like the cold-hearted words of Ebenezer Scrooge, who put profit before everything else. Do we want universities to be run like businesses where profit is a higher goal than education? Snowden boasts of his recent bond scheme which raised millions for new buildings at Southampton, but is that what education is about? Many students and staff were unimpressed by the promise of new buildings when their own degree courses were not adequately resourced or supported. And who cares about a university getting bigger or raising more money if the students feel that the university is not being run for them? We have been warned of creeping privatisation before and it is corrupting the relationship between the student and the university. What is the point of a university experience if we are increasingly only considered as paying customers? Our new VC needs to be motivated by reasons other than personal profit.
To wrestle privatisation out of the corridors and lecture halls of our universities we need to learn from the Christmas ghosts' message to Scrooge. We need to argue that there are talented people who are motivated by important values besides a high salary. If there is no miracle from the spirits this Christmas then it will be down to students, staff, and politicians to bring about the necessary change at our universities in the New Year.

Channel One was a short-lived British television channel owned and operated by Virgin Media Television and then Sky plc. The channel was launched on 1 October 2007 at 21:00 on Freeview, Virgin Media and Sky as Virgin1, replacing Ftn. The channel broadcast 24 hours on cable, satellite and Freeview; a one-hour time-shift, Channel One +1, broadcast on cable and satellite.

BSkyB acquired the channel on 4 June 2010 and rebranded it as Channel One. On 15 September 2010, BSkyB announced that it would close Channel One and sister channels Bravo and Bravo 2. Channel One's Freeview space on the multiplex was used to launch Challenge there. Channel One closed on 1 February 2011 at 06:00 UTC, one month after Bravo and Bravo 2 closed. On the same day, it was replaced by Challenge on Freeview and Sky Atlantic on Sky.

History
It was announced in the summer of 2007 that Virgin Media Television was to launch the new channel. The network had previously expressed their interest in running a general entertainment channel to coincide with the relaunch on NTL: Telewest to Virgin Media. At first, the company stated that all of their other channels including Ftn, would still run as normal, but because of Ftn having a key Freeview primetime slot, this was later changed.

The channel was launched as Virgin1 at 21:00 on 1 October 2007 on all platforms (Freeview, Virgin Media and Sky) replacing former Virgin Media Television channel Ftn. Some media sources have claimed that it was intended to be in direct competition with British Sky Broadcasting's flagship channel, Sky1, which in August 2010 had a 0.8% share of the market compared with Virgin1's 0.7%.

On 20 February 2008, the channel moved from FTN's old slots on channels 153 and 154 on Sky and took over Bravo's slots on channels
121 and 122, which were placed higher up on the EPG. The next day, the channel went on to achieve its highest ratings thus far, with the season premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles which secured a 4.2% share of multi channel viewers.

On 27 April 2009, it was announced that Virgin1 (on Freeview) would move from multiplex D to multiplex A, allowing the channel to broadcast 24 hours a day. It's vacated slot was used to launch a time-shifted version of the channel which broadcast from 18:00 to 06:00. In Wales, it was only available from 09:00 to 19:00, with the +1 service only available from 19:00.

On 14 May 2009, Virgin Media Television announced plans to revamp the channel. On 9 June 2009, it underwent a rebranding with new idents, break bumpers and onscreen identity. As part of the rebrand a mascot called Red was introduced, a puppet character from the creator of the ITV Digital Monkey.

On 20 October 2009, the channel reduced its hours on Freeview to 09:00 – 03:00, allowing Tease Me TV to launch. The revocation of TMTV's licence in November 2010 freed up the bandwidth it used from Channel One, but it was left vacant until the closure of the channel.

From 30 October 2009, the channel briefly aired TNA iMPACT! at 21:00 (which was also shown on sister channel Bravo at the time). This was the first time wrestling has been aired on free television in the UK since 2001.

On 1 June 2010, the time-shifted version of the channel ceased broadcasting on Freeview channel 35, allowing Yesterday to extend its broadcast hours. The time-shifted service continued to operate on satellite and cable platforms, between 04:00 and 01:00 daily (the live Challenge Jackpot simulcast on Virgin1 between 00:00 and 03:00 was not time-shifted).

On 4 June 2010, British Sky Broadcasting and Virgin Media announced that they had reached an agreement for the acquisition by Sky of Virgin Media Television. Virgin1 was also a part of the deal, but was rebranded as Channel One on 3 September 2010, as the Virgin name wasn't licensed to Sky.

Timeshift channel
A 1-hour timeshift channel called Channel One +1 launched in September 2010.

Closure
On 15 September 2010, BSkyB announced that it would close Channel One and its sister channels Bravo and Bravo 2. Sky, having carried out a review of the VMTV channels, found that Channel One was too similar to Sky3, with which it sat alongside as a free to air channel on Freeview. Challenge would replace Channel One's former Freeview slot in turn, receiving a large boost in its programming budget. At 06:00 on 1 February 2011, Channel One ceased broadcasting on all platforms. The last programme was an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. Since its closure, many programmes, including sci-fi and drama programming, were incorporated into Sky's free-to-air channel, Pick, whilst premium programming was moved to Sky's pay TV channels.

Most watched broadcasts
The following is a list of the ten most watched shows on Channel One, based on Live +7 data supplied by BARB up to 18 October 2010.

Programming

The schedule for Channel One consisted of a mixture of American and British comedy, drama and factual programming, both acquired and commissioned. The channel was pitched between male-targeted channel Bravo and female-targeted channel Living. In addition to exclusive content, Channel One also showed some content from Living, Bravo and Challenge.

One of my favorite TV shows is, by far, The Golden Girls. The mix of very sarcastic humor with some underlaying deep thoughts makes it great. Most shows I watch and just laugh the whole way through.... the one I just got done watching was the opposite. Every now and then there is a show that just really leaves you thinking... and sometimes crying. This show ended with Sophia losing a very close friend of hers. She sat on the boardwalk with him all the time but he had alzheimers and his family was forced to send him to a relative in New York because they were not able to afford the care anymore.
The last few days have really left me thinking about things. I keep wondering why it is that I'm still alone... and I just want to cry and get frustrated that those who mean so much to me are not in my life anymore. I try my best to think positively about the future... maybe someone I know will turn into something more... maybe I'll find that great girl and it will be something magical like when Kim and I met. The thing that is so hard for me to accept is that sometimes people have to leave our lives and that what matters is how we remember those people. Just like Sophia chose to remember Alvin sitting on the bench in the boardwalk, it's up to chose how we remember the people that have left our lives, regardless of how or why they left.
I long so badly to have someone laughing and smiling at me... someone that I can make happy and they can make me happy... someone who is always there.... even if they are far away, just knowing that they are there and they do love you and always will.... I guess it's the memory of those people that were in my life that give me the hope of something coming.
I can't understand all of these feelings. I can't understand why it is that I am still single and that makes it hard because I often want to blame myself for something.... mainly because thats the easiest thing. I'm sure there are things I need to fix... but why am I still alone? People keep telling me that I am a great person and that anyone would be lucky to have me but why do they tell me that? Is it just because they don't know me or is it because it's easier to tell me something positive than to have to tell me something negative? I guess I'm not the tickle me elmo doll or the furby that everyone is fighting over.... and I can the positive spin to this is that thats not who I want to be. I'm the little stuffed dog back in the corner of the toy store... just sitting there and hoping that some kid is going to come along and want to buy me. If I was put in the front of the toy store, I probably would just be laughed at because no one sees a stuffed dog as being any fun... they want something flashy and complicated..... So the only thing I can do is to just sit there at the back of the store and hope.... shed a few tears in the mean time.... but at least I can look out into the whole store and watch people smile.... there is some hope to be had in that.... It makes me smile to see others smile... I just need to learn to be content being that lonely stuffed dog.
I don't really know if anyone understands when I'm in emotional pain.... and the last thing I want is for someone to tell me that they do. There is something missing from my life.... and the last thing I want is for someone to get religious on me and tell me that I need to fill the void with God and all of that stuff.... I know I need to continually work on my relationship with God.... but in Genesis, God created Eve because "it is not good for man to be alone" .. God knows us... God knows me... we need that special person in our lives -- its the way He created us. It's hard for me to understand why He hasnt provided that in my life but sometimes we're not supposed to understand. Most of the time it's because it's something that we aren't able to understand.
I'm trying to remember that God cares... I know that He does and that He always will... For now, all I can do is be that lonely stuffed puppy in the back of the store and just watch all the kids out there smiling.... It may be hard seeing everyone happy but it does ultimately feel good to see people that are happy and it does give a little bit of hope that someday soon, that will be me.

Andrew and I set out to experience Brentwood's famous CornFest last Saturday night. We got there around 7:45pm so we could get a prime seat for the evening fireworks at 9:45pm, but there was a long line wrapped around two blocks. It was taking people and hour and half wait to get in. So we went home and decided to try again on Sunday.
We got in on Sunday and here are a few pictures of the CornFest. We rode rides, ate corn, shopped at the booths (I am pictured talking with a woman about cruises), and went on a carnival ride. Too bad Andrew didn't capture us eating corn, but they were buttery and salty (not good for the camera). It was fun and we will set out earlier next year to beat the crowds.

Q: Sub-Select In hibernate criteria I have a sql table A with column names
name, id1, id2, val1

and a table B with column names
id1, id2, key1, key2

and this is my sql query
SELECT
  v1.id1,
  v1.id2
FROM (
       SELECT
         A.id1,
         A.id2,
         min(val1) AS x
       FROM A
         JOIN B ON A.id1 = B.id1 AND A.id2 = B.id2
       GROUP BY A.id1, A.id2
     ) AS v1
WHERE v1.x > 10

using the DetachedCriteria i was able to form the sub-query
DetachedCriteria subCriteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass(A_model.class);
subCriteria.createAlias("b", "b_model");
subCriteria.setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
                            .add(Projections.groupProperty("id1"))
.add(Projections.groupProperty("id2"))
.add(Projections.min("val1"),"x");

but i am facing a hard time in creating the outer query.
any suggestion how can i create the criteria for the above SQL?
Thanks in anticipation.

A: Sub-selects in the from clause are not supported by Hibernate for the time being. However, your query can be rewritten in a simpler and more efficient form by utilizing the HAVING clause:
SELECT A.id1, A.id2,
FROM A JOIN B ON A.id1 = B.id1 AND A.id2 = B.id2
GROUP BY A.id1, A.id2
HAVING min(val1) > 10

The above query can be easily ported to HQL or Criteria.

A: Consider creating a view for the data you need:
create view A_B_BY_ID1_AND_ID2 as
select A.id1,
       A.id2,
       min( val1 ) as x
from A
join B on A.id1 = B.id1 and A.id2 = B.id2
group by A.id1,
         A.id2

Then create a DTO to represent this data:
@Entity(table="A_B_BY_ID1_AND_ID2")
@Data //are you on board with lombok?
public class ABById1AndId2 {
    @Column
    private int x;
    @Column
    private int id1;
    @Column
    private int id2;
}

then access it like anything else:
session.createCriteria(ABById1AndId2.class).add(Restrictions.gt("x", 10)).list();

A: Select from Select is neither supported by HQL nor by Criteria object. The solution here would be Named Query.
@NamedNativeQueries({
    @NamedNativeQuery(
    name = "findV1",
    query = "SELECT
              v1.id1,
              v1.id2
            FROM (
                   SELECT
                     A.id1,
                     A.id2,
                     min(val1) AS x
                   FROM A
                     JOIN B ON A.id1 = B.id1 AND A.id2 = B.id2
                   GROUP BY A.id1, A.id2
                 ) AS v1
            WHERE v1.x > 10"
    )
})

21 foreign job trainees return to Seoul
Integrated News Registration date 05/07/2010 WriterSMG views4717
Seoul City marked the 10th anniversary of the launch of a program designed to offer job training for young people from Asian nations, as part of the city's efforts to raise its profile in Asia and provide educational opportunities for young people from its sister cities.
So far, 369 foreigners from 12 cities have completed the "Vocational Training Program for Young People in Foreign Sister Cities." This year, another 69 foreign young people are undergoing the job training in Seoul. Also this year, among the 369 graduates, 21 foreign job trainees were invited by Seoul City to participate in another program to improve their job skills from April 12 to 23.
The 21 graduates, who received job training from 2005 to 2006, are undergoing up-to-date vocational education in their fields at the city-affiliated Elim Vocational Training School in Gunpo, where they were educated four years ago, and getting a chance to experience Korea's development by touring municipal, industrial, and cultural sectors in the country.
On April 13, 14 and 17, the 21 graduates learned the latest technologies and trends in six fields: furniture, beauty, design, web design, auto repair, and cooking.
On April 15 and 16, they met the Seoul Vice Mayor I for Administrative Affairs and toured the city. From April 19, they toured plants of POSCO and Hyundai Motor as well as cultural sites in Gyeongju, Busan, and Jeju-do. The tour program in Seoul included Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Cheonggyecheon (Stream), Gwanghwamun Square, DMC, and Cheong Wa Dae Sarangbang.
"The 'Vocational Training Program for Young People in Foreign Sister Cities' is a sort of an international aid activity to let young people in sister cities find a new chance of life," said an official at Seoul City in charge of the program. "In the wake of the 10th anniversary of the launch of the project, we invited graduates who have been successful in their own country and provide them education for the latest technologies. It would also increase Seoul's brand awareness and bolster the nation's international competitiveness."

Special Award Recipients for the 37th Annual Saturn Awards: Feige, Darabont, Devlin, and Biehn
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films announces four special awards which will be bestowed at the 37th Annual Saturn Awards to Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios President), Frank Darabont (Walking Dead), Dean Devlin, and Michael Biehn.
By: M4PR
@SaturnAwards - June 23, 2011 in Burbank, CA
* Hollywood - California - US
May 23, 2011 - PRLog -- The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films has announced four special awards which will be bestowed at the upcoming 37th Annual Saturn Awards.
The organization will honor Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige with The Visionary Award for his exceptional work in producing successful films based on characters originating from the Marvel Comics Universe. Under Kevin's leadership, Marvel Studios has become a true leader in the production and release of quality genre entertainment. Beginning with the successful launch of Thor by Paramount Pictures, we will see the release of no fewer than three films this summer under the Marvel Studios banner. Previous Marvel Studios film releases include Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, Thor, the upcoming Captain America and next year's The Avengers. Past recipients of the Visionary Award are James Cameron and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Frank Darabont, the creator of the AMC hit television series, "The Walking Dead," will be receiving the coveted George Pal Memorial Award. Frank has successfully transcended the horror genre and created a gripping and powerful series, which takes place in a world besieged by a legion of zombies. The series debuted with high ratings and has maintained a high quality of writing and development of characters throughout the first season. Frank has written and directed episodes of this series. "The Walking Dead" has also been nominated for 6 Saturn Awards. The George Pal Memorial Award is bestowed upon a producer/director who has achieved, and brought quality to, genre entertainment in the tradition of filmmaker George Pal, who produced and/or directed such classic films as War of the Worlds and The Time Machine.
Dean Devlin will be receiving the Dr. Donald A. Reed Founder's Award named after our esteemed Founder, Dr. Donald A. Reed, who passed away ten years ago. Dean is a successful producer of big box office films including Independence Day, The Patriot, Godzilla, and Flyboys. He has also produced several successful television projects for TNT which includes "The Librarian," starring Noah Wyle. He is currently the Executive Producer of the highly successful series, "Leverage." Dean has been a strong supporter and champion of quality genre film and television his entire life. His love of the genre is on the same level as our late Founder and leader, Dr. Donald A. Reed. It is with great respect and affection that we honor Dean Devlin this year with this special award.
Michael Biehn, actor and science fiction/action icon, will be receiving the prestigious Life Career Award for a body of work that spans the galaxy -- whether he's Kyle Reese, a solider from the future, sent back to save Sarah Connor in James Cameron's "Terminator," fighting alongside Sigourney Weaver in "Aliens," diving into otherworldly mysteries of the deep in "The Abyss," Biehn's impactful performances stand toe-to-toe with the dazzling Special FX. His work has also transcended other genres such as the Westerns "Tombstone" and TV's "The Magnificent Seven," Thrillers like "Deadly Intentions" and "Rampage," as well as Action/Adventure and Horror such as "K2," "The Rock," and "Grindhouse." Next, he will be staring in the apocalyptic thriller "The Divide" and "The Victim" (alongside his wife, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, which he co-wrote/directed).
About The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Fantasy and Horror Films
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films was founded in 1972 by Dr. Donald A. Reed to honor, recognize, and promote quality genre entertainment. The Saturn Awards are known worldwide as the premier honor in the world of film, television, home entertainment, and local stage production.
This year's 37th Annual Saturn Awards will take place on June 23, at the Castaway in Burbank, California. Hosting again this year is comedian Jeffrey Ross. A special tribute will take place honoring founder Dr. Donald A. Reed. For more info, visit our website: www.saturnawards.org. Press Credentials will be accepted starting Monday, May 23, 2011.

Five Memorable Moments from NCECA's 2018 Conference
Don't miss this national conversation on craft in an increasingly tense and complex present.
Published on Sunday, March 18, 2018.
Megan Guerber
A view of Kyle and Kelly Phelps' "Honoring the Blue Collar Working Class" exhibition, on view at Standard Ceramic Supply during NCECA's 2018 conference.
"CrossCurrents: Clay and Culture," the 52nd conference organized by the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA), took over Pittsburgh this past week. The annual convening is a time for both critical thinking and celebration, with programming that ranges from discussions and lectures to live demonstrations and a dance party.
It's the type of event where FOMO is unavoidable – in a good way. There's simply so much going on that there is no way you can take it all in. And although the scheduled programming is relevant and inspiring – exploring topics such as social media, inclusion, and sustainability, sometimes the little moments in between big events (meeting someone new and talking about something unexpected, for example) are the most memorable.
Taking that into account, here is a list of my top five memorable moments from NCECA's 2018 conference:
1. Talking with Martha Vida from the Marks Project. She's on a mission to recover forgotten craft histories from 1946 to the present via a researchable online database of artists' stamps, chops, and signatures. She feels an urgency to record the marks of midcentury and regional makers, whose contributions to the field are at risk of disappearing. But she's also committed to inspiring emerging and mid-career makers to document their own work for the sake of the craftspeople and art historians of the future. "I'm concerned about the artists of today being a part of the legacies of tomorrow," she says.
2. Encountering Ibrahim Said's larger-than-life vessels in person. The works were part of the dynamic "Garden (Feast) of Paradise" exhibition, an exploration of objects for the table inspired by Islam and the Middle East, on view at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.
3. Meeting the 2018 NCECA Emerging Artists: Natalia Arbelaez, Adam Chau, Wade MacDonald, Janet Macpherson, Sara Parent-Ramos, and Andrew Leo Stansbury. Keep an eye peeled for these names, clay fans. You're about to see them everywhere.
4. Strolling through the exhibitions hosted at Standard Ceramic Supply in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. Kyle and Kelly Phelps' show "Honoring the Blue Collar Working Class," with sculptures displayed atop stacked boxes in the production facility, was particularly dramatic – especially with the churning, mechanical sounds of Standard Ceramic's machines echoing against them.
5. And last, but not least: meeting new friends.

Secret McQueen is back, and she's… well, she's hiding out at her grandma's house and licking her wounds. But that doesn't mean she isn't totally still a badass. She just needs to regroup. After all, she was nearly killed; her boyfriend(s?) found out she is part vampire; and she has been instructed to kill one of her only friends. Her life has been better. But her wallowing can last only so long before she's dragged back to New York to face the music.
There are so many things I like about this series. The world-building is great; and once Secret gets back to the Big Apple, the pacing is right on. I like the author's voice and the main character. But I am growing increasingly uncomfortable with the love triangle… Rectangle? Too many angles. I am down with Desmond, I really am. I could be ok with Holden. Hell, even Lucas. But all at the same time is squicking me out a bit. Granted, she doesn't sleep with them all, but she does get physical with them all on some level, all in the same night. I DO NOT WANT THIS, SIERRA DEAN. I am also bothered by the fact that none of the men are very bothered by this. Lucas sends Desmond to live with Secret! He is in love with her; he knows they are sleeping together… I am flummoxed!
Moving on. The non-romantic plot of the story is really quite good. The council wants her to kill Holden, but she knows that he is innocent. First, she must get to the bottom of the accusations, then figure out who is framing him and why. It's a tangled ride, filled with twists and turns, and it kept me riveted up until the end.
I was very satisfied by how it all worked out and once again, Sierra Dean drops a little bomb at the end. How could anyone NOT pick up the next book after reading this one? I just beg… please… let's start cutting down the romantic playing field. (*whispers*) please.
I <3 this series. I agree about cutting down the boyfriends. I'm torn between Desmond and Holden. Never was a Lucas fan. Sure he's hot but he can be a complete douche bag.


Handcrafted in Venice, CA using locally sourced dead-stock (leftover) fabrics, Late Sunday Afternoon creates upcycled scarves, ascots, pocket squares, and bandanas with a charitable, altruistic twist.
For every item they sell, Late Sunday Afternoon creates and gifts a blankie to a child in foster care. Simultaneously, the brand uses the fabric scraps from their products to create dog beds that are donated to a local animal shelter.
Throughout the retail store, the themes of social good and purchasing with a purpose are visually represented via a merchandising schematic that communicates a functional approach to an enlightened lifecycle.
An open sewing studio, to the left of the shop entrance, embodies the product values and process of craftsmanship. Each scarf is finished with stitching long in the corners and hand-tied with four knots to represent a blessing of love, happiness, adventure, and mystery for the person who wears the garment.
There's a casual genuineness to the vast quantity of accessory options and lifestyle products. We particularly love the private label products that promote positivity via Snuggle Tribe, Surf Club, or Future Creator messaging and the Late Sunday Afternoon "spirit animal Harvey the Dog-Bear" graphic. The message is global but the vibe is local.

Fin-De-Siecle Vienna - Schorske, Carl E.
"Not only is it a splendid exploration of several aspects of early modernism in their political context; it is an indicator ...of how the discipline of intellectual history is currently practiced by its most able and ambitious craftsmen. It is also a moving vindication of historical study itself, in the face of modernism's defiant suggestion that history is obsolete."
KlappentextA Pulitzer Prize Winner and landmark book from one of the truly original scholars of our time: a magnificent revelation of turn-of-the-century Vienna where out of a crisis of political and social disintegration so much of modern art and thought was born.
Carl E. Schorske was born in the Bronx and graduated from Columbia Colege and earned a master's degree from Harvard before serving in the Office of Strategic Services, a precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency, during World War II. He returned to Harvard for his Ph.D. He was a Dayton-Stockton Professor of History and has served as Director of European Cultural Studies at Princeton University. He was a recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and his book, Fin-de-Siècle Vienna won the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction. He died in 2015 at the age of 100.

Suffolk County Police Department
Police in New York say a missing woman was last in Grand Teton National Park prior to her last communication.
According to the Suffolk County, New York Police Department, Gabrielle Petito was reported missing by her family on September 11 at roughly 7 p.m.
According to her family, they were last in contact with the 22-year-old during the last week of August. Before that last communication, she was believed to have been in Grand Teton National Park.
Petito and a companion were traveling in a white 2012 Ford Transit van with Florida license plate QFTG03. The van has been recovered.
She's described as being white, 5'5" tall and weighs 110 lbs with blonde hair and blue eyes.
She also has several tattoos including one on her finger and one on her forearm that reads, "let it be."
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-22-TIPS.
All calls will remain anonymous.

The primary means of earning money for any social media site or internet based business entity is by selling ad space. Instagram's new feature IGTV was launched last year, ostensibly because of the fact that Facebook, Instagram's parent company, wanted a property that would be able to compete with the likes of YouTube in providing streaming based content that users would be able to take advantage of on a regular basis. This means that IGTV was obviously going to be pushed to advertisers at some point, and that is exactly what is now happening.
Instagram has started attempting to entice brands and media agencies along with marketing enterprises by showing IGTV to be prime marketing real estate all in all. The basic premise of their ad program will be that all content being streamed on IGTV is going to have ad breaks in the middle, much in the same manner as Facebook is providing on Facebook watch.
Instagram has been saying for quite some time now that it will give content creators on its platform the opportunity to monetize their content but hasn't really provided any real details up until this point. However, the fact that IGTV's ad breaks are going to be similar to those of Facebook might make it seem like the ad revenue split will be about the same as well. Facebook offers content creators a 55% share of the ad revenue which is far higher than what YouTube offers. This high revenue split is meant to entice creators into heading to Facebook instead of YouTube, and since IGTV is meant to topple YouTube's monopoly as well it seems likely that the revenue split will follow these kinds of guidelines as well.

The Rebis (from the Latin res bina, meaning dual or double matter) is the end product of the alchemical magnum opus or great work.

After one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head within a single body. The sun and moon correspond to the male and female halves, just as the Red King and White Queen are similarly associated.

The Rebis image appeared in the work Azoth of the Philosophers by Basil Valentine in 1613.

In popular culture
 The Rebis is a central element in the fourth season of the television series Castlevania.
 A perfect being of both masculine (sun) and feminine (moon) qualities, brought about by an eclipse, is used in the manga and 2009 anime of Fullmetal Alchemist.
 The angelic antagonist of the first season of the 2008 anime Black Butler is a rebis, whose two forms initially appear as separate characters.
 In the Italian series Gomorrah, Genny Savastano wears a t-shirt with a rebis illustration in the second and third season.
 In the video game Elden Ring, the Rebis is a recurring cosmological theme. The game heavily references the alchemical magnum opus, especially as depicted in Ripley's scroll.
 In The Witcher action video game trilogy, Rebis is an alchemical ingredient.
 One of the versions of DC Comics' Negative Man, a member of the Doom Patrol, was a fusion of a male and a female called Rebis.
 In the Moebius/Jodorowski graphic novel series The Incal, a major character is a "perfect androgynous" called Solune (Sunmoon in the English translation)
 The rebis is featured in the cover artwork for Mastodon's second EP, Lifesblood.

Home Bitcoin Millennials love bitcoin, now the baby boomers are joining in too
Millennials love bitcoin, now the baby boomers are joining in too
"OK boomer," the snarky bitcoin devotee tweeted at me, having read my last critical piece concerning what's increasingly becoming known as the "digital gold" in investment markets.
For the record, I'm not a boomer. I'm generation X. But it scarcely matters. What does is that the ranks of those comfortable with the virtual currency are growing.
Millennials are leading the charge. De Vere, a financial adviser, found that more than two-thirds (67 per cent) of the 700+ millennial clients it surveyed said that they preferred bitcoin as a safe-haven asset to gold.
They are increasingly dragging the gen-Xers and boomers who dominate the world government of money with them.
Bitcoin is "here to stay" said Rick Reider, BlackRock's chief investment officer of fixed income in an interview with CNBC last month. BlackRock is the world's biggest fund manager. Reider's views created quite the flutter, precisely because they have clout.
His boss, CEO Larry Fink, wondered earlier this week whether the crypto-currency could ultimately have an impact on the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. He was answering questions alongside Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of England at a Council on Foreign Relations digital symposium.
Fink's endorsement of bitcoin, if that's what it was, was tepid indeed. "You see these big giant moves every day. It's a thin market," he said. "Can it evolve into a global market? Possibly."
But that's still a very different take to the one he had in 2017, the last time Bitcoin scaled the heights it has reached today. Then he called it an "index of money laundering".
READ First Mover: For Bitcoin Prices, Inflation Headlines May Matter More Than the Reality - CoinDesk
JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon was more even more blunt. He branded bitcoin owners as "stupid" and said he wasn't going to talk about it any more.
The tide has turned since then. Janet Yellen, president-elect Joe Biden's proposed treasury secretary and a former governor of the US Federal Reserve, has said she's not a fan. Rumours of a crackdown before she even takes office have been doing the rounds. They are apt to batter the currency's (in)famously volatile price. In graphical form, it resembles one of the rollercoasters at Disney's shuttered LA theme park.
Bitcoin makes regulators nervous, and not just as a result of the potential for its misuse identified by Fink. Volatility breeds instability, and there's plenty enough of that to go around at the moment.
I'm nonetheless starting to wonder whether they might be on the wrong side of history, and whether I might be in the same boat.
The chief problem with bitcoin is the fact that it's wearing the emperor's new clothes.
What separates it from the gold millennials are turning their backs on is that the latter is an asset with physical form. It doesn't matter how complex and opaque your derivative linked to it is, you can ultimately trace it back to a lump of metal in a warehouse somewhere that you can see and feel, even potentially use.
Shares in quoted companies are backed by earnings, streams derived from products and services. Traditional currencies, like the dollar, the euro, even Britain's Brexit battered sterling, have a central bank standing behind them, are the units of exchange for physical economies.
READ Crypto Diverges: Bitcoin Dominance at 60%, Altcoins Face Major Capitulation Event - newsBTC
Crypto-currencies don't have any of that and despite the vast store of value built up in them it's still devilishly difficult to use them for anything other than trading.
But again, things are moving in their direction. PayPal, for example, recently announced plans to allow US users to buy, sell and hold bitcoin. They came with caveats and restrictions, which critics were quick to point out. It was nonetheless a significant move.
Back to that DeVere survey. What might explain it, what I think, and bitcoin's other sceptics, may have missed is a generational change in thinking. Bitcoin's decentralised store of value is essentially backed by an idea, or a belief. Those things were always powerful. They are becoming even more so in the digital world inhabited by millennials and the even more plugged in generation Z.
It's interesting to note that what may seem intangible to gen X parents, and boomer grandparents, are as real to their children as any physical product. Gen Z kids are as likely to spend their allowances on digital add ons like Fortnite skins or Fifa expansions in the way we bought Pokemon cards and stickers. They're deaf to the cries of "there's nothing there" hearing only the "well I suppose it's your money to waste". Except they don't see it as a waste.
As they get older and start accumulating assets and disposable income, bitcoin may well be among them. That's the lesson of DeVere's survey, which made not of the a huge generational wealth transfer that's on the way. Some $60tn (£44tn) is due to shift as the boomers die out and the millennials inherit.

I'm not personally about to start trading the thing – although I'm aware that the cookies I've picked up in the course of researching this piece mean I'm about to be bombarded with pestilential ads urging me to do just that. I've been writing about finance for a long time, and I've seen too many people getting badly hurt by too many crises and crashes.
But I also recall a whip-smart millennial colleague, who'd seen a few of those herself and whom I greatly respected, confessing that she wished she had started trading when bitcoin was last peaking.
The tide is moving and while I remain wary, I confess that it's taking me along with it.

Kamchatka port may become a part of Arctic transport line
Construction of a port on Kamchatka to serve cargo transported along the Northern Sea Route will be a part of an Arctic transport line, which unites Russian ports with ports in Asia, Europe and North America, Director General of Russia's Corporation for Kamchatka's Development Nikolai Pegin told an international conference in Moscow on Thursday.
Earlier, the Leningrad Region and Kamchatka agreed to organize a terminal for handling containers, transported along the Northern Sea Route. The terminal will be built in the Avacha Bay.
"By organizing [on Kamchatka] of a hub port with regular cargo lines, the [NSR] ports' turnover will grow up, the ports will get integrated into an Arctic transport line to ports of the Asia-Pacific Region, Europe and Northern America," he said.
The choice of the Avacha Bay is reasonable, he continued. The bay will be the most high-latitudinal unfreezing port on the Northern Sea Route, which will serve vessels year round. Thus, the expert said, the port will make NSR a part of the Arctic transport line.
Earlier, the Leningrad Region's Governor Alexander Drozdenko said the region negotiated new options to deliver containers from Asia along the Northern Sea Route, so that to transport them further on via the port of Rostock to Europe's other port terminals.
The sea terminal in Kamchatka's Avacha Bay will make easier reloading of cargo from heavy ice-class vessels onto lighter vessels to supply products to the Asia-Pacific Region.

Comparison Of 4 Diet Plans Shows Better Outcomes For Diet With Lowest Carbohydrate Intake
By News Staff | April 6th 2007 12:00 AM | Print | E-mail
Premenopausal women who were assigned to follow the Atkins diet for one year lost more weight when compared to women who were assigned to follow the Zone, Ornish and LEARN diets, according to a study in the March 7 issue of JAMA.
Overweight and obesity are well-documented problems in the United States. National dietary weight loss guidelines (a diet low in calories and fat, high in carbohydrates) have been challenged, particularly by supporters of low-carbohydrate diets. However, limited evidence has been available to effectively evaluate other diets, according to background information in the article.
Christopher D. Gardner, Ph.D., of Stanford University Medical School, Stanford, Calif., and colleagues examined the effects of four diets-3 popular and substantially different diets and 1 diet based on national guidelines-representing a spectrum of carbohydrate intake, on weight loss and related metabolic variables in overweight and obese premenopausal women. The diets were Atkins (very low in carbohydrate), Zone (low in carbohydrate), LEARN (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitudes, Relationships, and Nutrition; low in fat, high in carbohydrate, based on national guidelines), and Ornish (high in carbohydrate). The study, which included 311 overweight/obese (body mass index, 27-40) nondiabetic, premenopausal women, was conducted from February 2003 to October 2005. Participants were randomly assigned to follow for 12 months the Atkins (n = 77), Zone (n = 79), LEARN (n = 79), or Ornish (n = 76) diets and received weekly instruction for 2 months, then an additional 10-month follow-up.
Besides weight loss, the participants were also measured for lipid profile (low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels), percentage of body fat, waist-hip ratio, fasting insulin and glucose levels, and blood pressure. Outcomes were assessed at months 0, 2, 6, and 12.
The researchers found that weight loss was greater for women in the Atkins diet group compared with the other diet groups at one year. Average 12-month weight loss was 10.4 lbs for Atkins, 3.5 lbs. for Zone, 5.7 lbs. for LEARN, and 4.8 lbs. for Ornish. At 12 months, measurements for lipids and levels of insulin, glucose and blood pressure for the Atkins group were comparable with or more favorable than the other diet groups.
"Concerns about adverse metabolic effects of the Atkins diet were not substantiated within the 12-month study period. It could not be determined whether the benefits were attributable specifically to the low carbohydrate intake vs. other aspects of the diet (e.g., high protein intake). While questions remain about long-term effects and mechanisms, these findings have important implications for clinical practice and health care policy. Physicians whose patients initiate a low-carbohydrate diet can be reassured that weight loss is likely to be at least as large as for any other dietary pattern and that the lipid effects are unlikely to be of immediate concern. As with any diet, physicians should caution patients that long-term success requires permanent alterations in energy intake and energy expenditure, regardless of macronutrient content," the authors conclude.

Call Me American (Adapted for Young Adults) (Kobo eBook)
Adapted from the adult memoir, this gripping and acclaimed story follows one boy's journey into young adulthood, against the backdrop of civil war and his ultimate immigration to America, in search of a better life.
In Somalia, Abdi Nor Iftin grew up amidst a blend of cultures. His mother entertained him with vivid folktales and bold stories about her rural, nomadic upbrinding. As he grew older, he spent his days following his father, a basketball player, through the bustling street of the capital city of Mogadishu.
But when the threat of civil war reached Abdi's doorstep, his family was forced to flee to safety. Through the turbulent years of war, young Abdi found solace in popular American music and films. Nicknamed Abdi the American, he developed a proficiency for English that connected him--and his story--with news outlets and radio shows, and eventually gave him a shot at winning the annual U.S. visa lottery.
Abdi shares every part of his journey, and his courageous account reminds readers that everyone deserves the chance to build a brighter future for themselves.

Candidates in NA-133, Lahore are holding corner meetings and going door to door in order to enlist the support of maximum number of people as today (Friday) is the last day of electioneering for the by-election to be held in the constituency day after tomorrow (December 5), reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
An extremely close contest is expected between Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's (PML-N) Shaista Pervez Malik and Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) Aslam Gill.
There are as many as 254 polling stations in the constituency, out of which 200 are exclusively for men and women while 54 are mixed.
Elaborate security plan prepared
Meanwhile, the law-enforcement agencies (LEAs) have drawn up a security plan in view of the by-poll in NA-133 as six superintendents of police (SPs) as well as 14 deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) will perform their duties under the command of SSP Operations on the election day.
CCPO, Lahore has said that in all, over two thousand police officers and constables will provide security on the day.
"As many as 44 SHOs, 52 Dolphin Police personnel and seven teams of the Quick Response Unit will be deployed," he said, and added, "A special control room has been set up at Graduate College for Women, Township."
He went on to add that SPs and DSPs had been ordered to check the polling stations in order to provide foolproof security to them. "Apart from that, CCTV cameras have also been installed to keep an eye on miscreants," he elaborated.
Not a single person applied for postal ballot
Voters in the constituency are showing little interest in postal balloting as Returning Officer (RO) Syed Basit Ali Shah has not received a single application for the ballot papers so far.
According to the RO, civil and military officers, government as well as private department employees and prisoners living in the constituency could have submitted their applications by November 19, but not a single such application was received by the due date, showing there was not great enthusiasm in people about the by-poll. "Around 3, 000 postal ballot papers have been printed on the directives of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for the by-election in NA-133," he concluded.
