HISTORICAL INFORMATION » ART & ARCHITECTURE » ANGELA GONZALES
Making an Art of Science: High-Energy Artist Says Goodbye
Source: FermiNews Vol. 21 No. 16, August 14, 1998
by Mike Perricone, Office of Public Affairs
Art and science blend elegantly in the work of Fermilab artist Angela Gonzales, leaving a lasting impact on the Laboratory and all who pass through it. Angela Gonzales retires after 31 years of creating distinctive designs for Fermilab.
From the day she arrived in 1967, Angela Gonzales added to Fermilab's unique character by taking an abstract view of the concrete.
She asked, "Do industrial-style buildings have to be industrial gray in color?" She answered with a palette of blue, orange and yellow (even apple-green, in the early days) that was sure to arouse strong reactions but would never go unnoticed. Included was a row of propane tanks whose colors graduated from orange to yellow.
"They didn't have to be just obvious old gray things," said Nancy Peoples, wife of Fermilab Director John Peoples, who worked closely with Gonzales on art committees at the Lab from 1980 until Gonzales's retirement on July 31.
"Her choice of colors gave the Lab a really unique touch," Peoples continued. "It's such an individual style, and it removes the Lab from having just the usual conglomerate look of mundane plastic or concrete. It gives the Lab a feeling of being in touch with the arts as well as with the sciences."
Both parents were artists, meaning Gonzales was in touch with the arts beginning with her childhood in 1930s Germany. Her father's involvement in modern art, not favored by Hitler, forced the family to move around Europe. Gonzales has remained a committed traveler, visiting her elderly mother annually in Germany, and journeying to wide-flung destinations from Costa Rica to Egypt.
"She once brought me back a bottle of sand from the Sahara Desert," said Hazel Cramer, Gonzales's friend and fellow committee-member through her own 26-year career at the Lab.
Cramer recalled that Gonzales had worked at Cornell with Robert Wilson, the Lab's first director, and rejoined Wilson at Fermilab to work on the design for the site. She noted that in addition to being an accomplished abstract artist, working in a range of media from paint to ink to pencil, Gonzales was skilled at technical illustration and produced distinctive work for both experimenters and theorists. Her designs include the covers for many of the Lab's annual reports, including the commemoration of the Lab's 20th anniversary in 1987.
"She's also a very clever writer, although English is not her native language," Cramer added. "She's very widely-read, and she has a great deal of knowledge in many fields."
Peoples described Gonzales as having a keen eye for art and design, and holding high standards.
"She does not accept anything that she thinks is substandard," Peoples said.
Gonzales offered a blunt statement of those standards as recently as the holiday season of 1997, when the Wilson Hall atrium was decorated with a series of banners adapted from graphic representations of particle collisions.
Not amused, Gonzales wrote to FermiNews and quoted Goethe in giving her judgement: "Den Geschmack kann man nicht am Mittelgut bilden, sondern nur am Allervozueglichsten," which she translated as "(Good) taste cannot be achieved by learning from the mediocre (I add trash; there is not even much 'mediocre' left to go by) but only from the most excellent."
Cramer, who continues to serve on the Lab's Auditorium Committee after retirement, has known Gonzales since 1968, and remembers Gonzales's daughter as "a four-year-old crawling around on the floor and drawing pictures." But she wryly describes Gonzales as "not a people person."
"Like many artists, she's very involved with what she is doing at the moment," Cramer said. "I met her in 1968. I remember being introduced to her, and I said 'Hello,' and she said 'Hello,' but then she went right on talking (with someone else) as she often does."
"The next day I happened to see her at the Oak Brook shopping center. I said 'Hello' but she didn't say anything. Then she came back five minutes later, tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'I know who you are now. I can say hello.'"
Socializing and friendship were separate categories.
"If she's your friend, she is truly your friend," Cramer said. "She will not tolerate any criticism of a friend, even in a joking way."
After 31 years, Gonzales's work speaks forcefully of her contributions.
"A lot of her work will be around us, but her day-to-day input will be missing," said Peoples. "With her retirement, I think the Lab loses a lot. It's almost like losing some of its original soul."

Q: WP-ADMIN Redirect Loop We have a multisite running with about 6 sites.
3 of our sites are accessible through the wp-admin the other 3 aren't.
The browsers tells us that there are too many redirects going on. This only happens after we log in to the wp-admin. The wp-login page works fine.
We've had this issue before, solved the now working 3 sites with the following fix in our wp-config:
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

Also the front-end is working just fine, it's only the wp-admin having issues.
Background information:
Server: Nginx + Apache. Starts at Nginx but then redirects to Apache
SSL: enabled

A: According to the codex:

If WordPress is hosted behind a reverse proxy that provides SSL, but
  is hosted itself without SSL, these options will initially send any
  requests into an infinite redirect loop. To avoid this, you may
  configure WordPress to recognize the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO header
  (assuming you have properly configured the reverse proxy to set that
  header).

The following actions will solve the problem.
Add this to wp-config.php. (codex reference)
/* SSL Settings */
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

/* Turn HTTPS 'on' if HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO matches 'https' */
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], 'https') !== false) {
    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';
}

Reference

A: I had the same problem and could solve it. The problem was my admin user's capabilities were set to subscriber instead of administrator. Probably from a membership plugin.
In my database table wp_usermeta my admin-users
wp_capabilities were set to "a:1:{s:10:"subscriber";b:1;}"
I change it to "a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}" and I saw my Dashboard again.

A: In my case where I have the nginx ingress controller as a reverse proxy in kubernetes cluster where it do a TLS termination and wordpress instancess in pods served by http protocol and nginx instead apache engine, the redirection loop happens when I had in the location / {...} block try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string; instead try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

Powers/Abilities: Sundragon possesses cosmic powers which include flight, the ability to survive in space without need for oxygen, cosmic senses which can sense the distress of others, telepathy, various energy manipulation powers, and the ability to create a giant dragon composed of energy, which she sometimes uses to travel through space.
History: (Solo Avengers#16/2)- Pamela Douglas suddenly found herself suffering from unexplained outbursts, as she scribbled "hate them" repeatedly on notepads, and flew into fits of anger for no apparent reason. She also began to fear that her boyfriend Tom didn't love her because she was going mad. One night, she went into the washroom and shaved off all of her hair. After this, she was placed under the care of a doctor, who advised her to take a vacation, believing her to be suffering from stress. However, when she saw a billboard of a fetus while driving her car, she crashed it.
Pamela was now convinced that her irrational behavior was a result of her being pregnant, but the doctor's tests came back negative. Her paranoia continued, until one night she was attacked in her apartment by a giant hand. She ran from the building into the streets, where she was contacted telepathically by Heather Douglas, her cousin. Heather explained to Pamela that she had been the super-hero Moondragon, until the influence of the Dragon of the Moon corrupted her, and her body was destroyed battling the Defenders. The Eternals of Titan had cloned a new body for Heather on Titan, but Heather's soul had hidden itself within Pamela. Heather was now conscious enough to speak with Pamela, and directed her to enter her ship, Sensia II, which would bring her to Titan.
However, the entity responsible for the attack on Pamela returned, and proved to be Isaac Christians, formerly Moondragon's ally Gargoyle, his soul now confined to a crystal. Heather, speaking through Pamela, convinced Isaac to halt his attack and come with them to Titan, in the hopes that they could find a new life for him as well. He agreed, and Pamela placed the crystal around her neck.
(Solo Avengers#18/2)- Pamela enjoyed herself on Titan, often playing trivia games with their computer ISAAC, and games of chess with Mentor. She also learned more about Heather from her as her new body continued to grow. Pamela was attracted to the Eternal Demeityr, but Heather didn't approve of their relationship from the start.
On the day that Heather's new body was ready to be released, the Priests of Shao-Lom attempted to claim Heather for their monastary, but Heather and Pamela both refused, and were determined to depart Titan. As they set off into space, they were trapped in the tractor beam of a vessel operated by the Dance. Pamela found herself and Heather manipulated by the Dance in an attempt to use them in their bizarre experiments, but with Heather's prodding, Pamela was able to access her own innate psychic powers, and set them free. She also caused Demeityr to appear before them, and the Dance allowed them all to depart their ship.
(Solo Avengers#20/2)- Pamela, Heather, Isaac Christians and Demeityr met with Cloud, a reunion that went sour when Moondragon erupted in a fit of rage over being trapped in her still-growing new body. As Pamela and Demeityr set off to their quarters, Moondragon attacked them psychically, and tried to take Demeityr away from Pamela. When Pamela and Isaac confronted her, Moondragon cast all three of them out of the ship, to die in space. Pamela fell into a sun, but Cloud saved all three of them, and fully awakened Pamela's powers. Pamela adopted the new identity of Sundragon, having taken the power of a sun. The three of them forgave Moondragon, then set off to explore space together.
(Cosmic Powers Unlimited#2/3)- When Colony World#827 of the Rigellians was threatened by a vessel of the Dance, Sundragon came to their defense. She attempted to halt the Dance with a show of force, but they responded by knocking her aside. Sundragon responded with another attack which destroyed the Rigellian's computer systems, but did little to harm the Dance. She finally learned that the Dance's intention all along had been to prevent a comet from striking another planet, and destroyed the comet for the Dance. Exploring the planet, she found it barren of life, but as a Riegellian Recorder noted, it might one day have a grand destiny to play in the universe.
Comments: Created by Peter B. Gillis, Don Perlin and Jack Abel.
The opening chapter of Pamela's tale covered familiar ground for this Peter B. Gillis fan-- it reminded me a lot of his Warp stories, particularly the mental possession and seeming-madness elements.
Tom was Pamela Douglas' live-in boyfriend in Soho, and was a yuppie. He attempted to be supportive of her as she became possessed by Moondragon, but had no hope of comprehending what was going on.

Cole to leave Wanderers as Ibini & Borrello line up moves
Michael Huguenin
The last survivor from Western Sydney's first competitive game is on his way out, while two young wingers are reportedly set for moves abroad
Western Sydney Wanderers are set to release their last foundation player Shannon Cole, while Sydney FC's Bernie Ibini and Brisbane Roar's Brandon Borrello are reportedly on their way overseas.
The Wanderers announced on Tuesday that Cole will depart the A-League club after they host Shanghai SIPG in the AFC Champions League (ACL) on Wednesday night.
The versatile defender and midfielder was a vital figure in Western Sydney's ACL success in 2014 and was named in the competition's best XI that year, while he also played a part in the Wanderers' 2012-13 A-League premiership.
ACL 2017: Wanderers to host Shanghai SIPG
But the 32-year-old has barely featured this season with just six appearances in all competitions.
"It's been an amazing ride to go from day one when we were first brought together and to experience what we've gone through and help build the culture that we have now," Cole said in a statement.
"To do the thing I love and to do it for five years with a club that has already made history and is going to continue to grow and make a huge impact on Australian sport is something I'm very proud of.
"It just feels like a good time to part ways. Having been a part of the first phase of this club, experiencing success and failure and doing all that, being the last foundation player I think it's a good time to step away and let the club evolve to whatever it's going to be next."
Bernie Ibini, Sydney FC
Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph has reported Ibini - who missed Sydney's grand final win over Melbourne Victory due to a hamstring injury - is set to sign with Vancouver Whitecaps.
COMMENT: Sydney can't stop with Ninkovic resigning
Ibini, 24, was on loan to Sydney from Club Brugge this season and it is understood the Belgian outfit will sell the winger to the Whitecaps before the MLS transfer deadline on Tuesday.
While used almost exclusively off the bench by Sydney coach Graham Arnold this season, Ibini was a relatively constant figure as he made 20 A-League appearances and scored one goal after recovering from a major knee injury.
Brandon Borrello, Brisbane Roar
Borrello could be leaving Roar for Germany, with AAP reporting a 2. Bundesliga club has triggered a buyout clause in the winger's contract.
The 21-year-old has played 75 A-League matches for Brisbane, scoring 13 goals, including four in 25 games this season.
Thomas Broich to decide future soon Georgievski to leave Victory for Jets Sydney star Ninkovic re-signs O'Donovan & Izzo leave Mariners


The Viewing Room was added so that owners who wish to spend time with their beloved pet prior to cremation, could do so privately and undisturbed. For those who wish to witness the placing of their pet into the cremation unit, the Viewing Room is designed so that the blinds, once opened, afford the full view of the unit. Many owners have chosen this service not only so they can say their farewells but that they have the assurance that their pet is cremated alone as requested. Viewings are arranged in advance and usually performed in the mornings. Arrangements will be made to pick up your pet at your veterinary hospital or you may wish to bring him/her to us yourself. It is our intention to make this difficult time as effortlessly as possible for you, so allowing us the time to follow through with you wishes for your companion's final journey, will enable us to do so. For more information or to speak to one of our specialists, please call 407-886-2620.

Taking place across the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd August 2015, the local lads from Leicester and the DJ from north of the border will be joined by a host of music heavyweights to ensure V Festival sees out its second decade in style.
Joining the headliners across the two festival sites in Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Staffordshire will be a supporting cast of Britain's finest talent and biggest names.

Making his debut on top of the bill, Calvin Harris said:
"V Festival is always an incredible time and I can't wait to headline it this year. See you there!"
Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno, said:

Tom Jones, Little Mix and more added to British Summer Time Hyde Park
Fresh from the latest hit series of the BBC's The Voice, the incredible Sir Tom Jones headlines. Tom is one of Britain's greatest ever vocalists, with an illustrious history, stretching way back to the 1960s.
Sir Tom Jones:
"I love playing in Hyde Park, it's such a beautiful place and so many of the greats have played there. There is a real sense of musical history and a fantastic atmosphere that comes with playing in the middle of a great London park on a wonderful summer evening."
This summer, Boyzone return to the stage to perform their biggest hits. With 20 UK top 40 singles, 6 UK Number 1s and 5 Number 1 albums, along with 4 Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello for Best Contemporary Song, Ronan, Mikey, Shane and Keith are one of Ireland's most successful exports and best-loved bands.
Boyzone:
"There's no bigger gig than Hyde Park and no better day out than playing British Summer Time alongside Sir Tom Jones."

Office of Juvenile Parole & Transitional Services
The Office of Juvenile Parole and Transitional Services, (JP&TS) is a community-oriented service agency. We are dedicated to sharing responsibilities with our partners in the community to effect successful re-entry of adjudicated youth returning home by providing a balanced approach utilizing care, treatment, accountability, protection and enforcement.
It is estimated that over the next five years, thousands of youths will be released from the Juvenile Justice Commission's custody to communities throughout New Jersey. JP&TS provides parole supervision to these juvenile offenders and assists them as they transition to home, their neighborhoods and schools through a gradual, planned and purposeful "step-down" parole process. This process seeks to hold parolees accountable for their behavior while simultaneously maximizing opportunities to engage each parolee in a re-entry process that facilitates: family reunification; furthers the parolee's education; leads to the development of marketable skills; and the development of those normative skills, such as self-disciplined positive goal directed behavior, and moral values that will enable him or her to become a productive, contributing member of the community.
These goals are achieved through collaboration with other JJC organizational units, including the JJC's Offices of Education, Secure Care, and Community Programs and partnering with community-based service providers. Through these partnerships and collaborations, opportunities for successful re-entry are provided through the following.
"Inside – Outside" Programs and Services
Helping a juvenile prepare for re-entry and community parole supervision begins pre-release and involves a multi-system effort to ensure the individualized re-entry plan considers the risks to public safety and needs of the parolee to succeed on parole. When possible, juveniles are involved pre-release in vocational and employment training opportunities that will transfer outside of the JJC facility. The juvenile and his or her family are encouraged to participate in the re-entry planning process either in person or through the use of video-teleconferencing.
Transitional Services are provided to parolees with the goal of helping each parolee gradually transition home through a series of "step-down" supervised activities. These activities allow the parolee to practice the pro-social skills needed to successfully return to the neighborhood, home and school while under supervision in a variety of environments. Located throughout New Jersey, community-based transitional services include short-term transitional living facilities, day reporting centers, transitional schools, supportive employment opportunities, mentoring and interventions designed to address: gang reduction; family reunification; supporting substance abuse recovery and improving mental and emotional disorders.

Warriors center Draymond Green has been fined $25,000 for directing obscene language toward a fan during Golden State's 116-113 loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday at American Airlines Center, the NBA announced on Thursday.
The incident came with with 11:20 remaining in the fourth quarter as Mavs guard Spencer Dinwiddie prepared to shoot a free throw. Green had 12 points, six rebounds and four assists in the loss.
It's not the first time that Green has had problems with fans. During the Warriors playoff series vs. the Grizzlies in May, fans cheered after he went to go get an injury taken care of which led to him flipping them off as he walked off the court.
After the game, Green said that "It felt good to flip them off...I'm assuming the cheers were because they I knew I'd get fined. Great, I make $25M a year."
Green was fined $25,000 for that incident as well.

Vineyards and Chemicals Connected to high cancer rates in France
Big Wine, Climate / February 24, 2016 May 26, 2016
Once again corporate profits trump public health.
In Sonoma County, several groups have tried to get this legislation made into adopted regulations. One example is the Paul Hobb's expansion next to 5 schools in the Sebastopol area. He is a chemically intensive grape grower according to County pesticide reports and got away signing a MOU with the schools to advise them when he sprays so the playground and tables can be washed. According to neighbors he now sprays at night without notice. Paul Hobb's was listed in the PD wine pullout on how "sustainable" this industry is in Sonoma County as one of the "good guys".
http://napavalleyregister.com/news/opinion/mailbag/three-close-to-home-is-one-time-too-many/article_8d446392-4175-5fc0-9ba5-0497e77b8e13.html
Three close to home is one time too many
Christine Tittel
On Sunday, Feb. 14, a "marche blanche" — white march — took place in the center of Bordeaux in protest of pesticides following a two-hour French television documentary, viewed by 3 million, based on a leaked government database identifying the iconic wine region as one of the highest in pesticide use.
Hair samples of children from schools in the Gironde identified the presence of 40 dangerous chemicals. This comes on the heels of statistics showing that leukemia among children there is 20 percent higher than the French national average. In the premier sweet wine region of Sauternes, a whopping 500 percent higher!
Napa County has 22.8 children cancer deaths per 100,000 — a 69 percent rise between 2000 and 2012 — the highest in California and the second highest for adults with 488.9. Popular use pesticides have been linked to cancer, leukemia, kidney disease, Parkinson's and more. Napa County had 115 breast cancer cases and 20 deaths in 2014.
When will we Napa residents wake up?
According to industry reports, 20 similar pesticide agents are used in Bordeaux, Napa and Sonoma.
The California Legislature has enacted AB289/AB947 (Jackson), known as the Pesticide School Protection Zone Act, designed to protect schools from pesticide drift. We can all guess why Napa County has not followed its recommendations.
Though such data are not new, Napa county policies on these life and death issues, rather than mitigate, continue to exacerbate the problems.
Its promotion of more and more visitors (200,000 more annually over the past two years) who, along with the tens of thousands of low-paid commuters both the wine and hospitality industries employ, are major contributors to carbon emissions with their cars moving at a snail's pace in what has become an urban-like environment.
Mining and asphalt recycling operations at Syar spew carcinogen crystalline silica particles into the air, which drift Upvalley each and every morning with the inflow of the San Francisco Bay fog. Yet, the county is seriously considering its expansion, all in the proximity of no fewer than nine schools — never mind AB947 — and one hospital. Incredible as it is, in order to accommodate it, all new residences near Syar, including several hundred at Napa Pipe will be required to install 2.5 micron air-filtration systems. Opening windows if at all possible or outdoor activities, will be at one's own risk. Have we lost all sanity?
There are over 50 pending applications in the county for new wineries and winery expansions totaling 567,000 new visitors and 2.9 million gallons of wine, which according to the 75 percent rule, will require 6,000 more acres of Napa vineyards, all in the watershed areas in the hills as the valley floor is already planted. With them come more deforestation, car emissions, pesticides and vineyard burns. Remember, three out of four weeks in January 2014 were declared no-burn days.
Our watershed replenishes our wells and the aquifer from which we all drink and irrigate. From there the pesticides find their way into our produce, and animals. They accumulate ever so little by little in our systems until one day we get the news no one wants to hear.
Geothermal discharges, antimony and arsenic end up in the Napa River from overburdened sewage disposal infrastructures starting as far upriver as Calistoga. Yet, hospitality development is proceeding full steam to accommodate the ever-increasing demand solely fueled by county visitor policies. The Water Quality Board has been fining Calistoga year after year, ordering it to mitigate its violations. In the meantime, many families will face tragedy.
Waiting to isolate the specific causes of our unenviable cancer record from study to study is only a way to provide cover to our officials for not doing what we all know they need to do: Instead of accommodating the proliferation of pollutants, they must enact policies that will reduce them. All of them. Now!
In a Feb. 10 town hall meeting, Councilman Pedroza told the public that he is for "balance." When asked what he meant by balance, he said that there is a point beyond which growth disturbs the balance. Overuse of our infrastructure, traffic gridlock may be tolerated by some as inconvenience, but not cancer.
Mr. Pedroza's pro-growth voting record does not reflect the rhetoric. As the chair of the Board of Supervisors he has the opportunity to take the lead in changing direction. When the next of 50 applications for increased wine production and visitations (about two per week!) comes before his appointed planning commissioner or before himself on appeal, we will see if action will reflect sincerity.
When collusion between greed and campaign contributions weigh in on one side and the highest cancer rates in the state on the other, how many destroyed lives will it take to compel the supervisors to finally act on restoring balance?
Tittel lives in Calistoga.

Manfred Misselhorn (* 29. Juli 1938 in Fallersleben) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Ruderer.

Misselhorn belegte 1962 zusammen mit Helmut Schulz im Doppelzweier des RC Holzminden den dritten Platz bei den Deutschen Meisterschaften. 1963 startete Misselhorn mit Albrecht Müller im Doppelzweier des Ruderclubs Germania Düsseldorf 1904 und erreichte bei den Deutschen Meisterschaften den zweiten Platz hinter Josef Steffes-Mies und Jost Krause-Wichmann.

1964 bildeten Misselhorn und Müller einen Vierer ohne Steuermann zusammen mit Horst Effertz und Günter Schroers. Diese Crew gewann den deutschen Meistertitel und siegte bei den Europameisterschaften 1964 in Amsterdam vor den Dänen und den Italienern. Der deutsche Vierer war damit auch Favorit für die Olympische Regatta in Tokio. Dort siegten die Dänen, die deutsche Crew erreichte zwar das Finale, kam aber mit den Windverhältnissen nicht zurecht und belegte den sechsten Platz.

Misselhorn war zum Zeitpunkt seiner Olympiateilnahme bereits ausgebildeter Bauingenieur.

A Look Back to Lisa Marie Presley's Four Marriages and Turbulent Divorces
Elvis Presley's only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, has led a very interesting life.
She came into her own during the turbulent '80s when she pursued a career in music, just like her legendary father. But it has most often been due to her personal life that has landed her in the headlines. Presley had a rocky love life, with every attempt to be in a lasting and healthy relationship lead to a dead end.
Let's take a look back at Lisa Marie's four marriages and turbulent divorces.
Danny Keough
A post shared by 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻 & 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 ツ (@jacksonpresleylove) on Jul 12, 2020 at 2:11pm PDT
In 1988, Lisa Marie tied the knot for the first time. She married Chicago-born musician Danny Keough, who once was part of her backing band. The two got hitched at the Celebrity Center International of the Church of Scientology in West Hollywood, with only nine people watching them exchange vows.
The two were husband and wife for six years when they finalized their divorce in 1994. They had two children: a daughter, Danielle Riley Keough, and a son, Benjamin Storm Keough.
Riley, who was only six years old when her parents divorced, once revealed in an interview. "I grew up very privileged with my mother, but my dad didn't live like that. And I think experiencing both sides has been helpful. My father had mattresses on the floor of his apartments. He lived in cabins and trailer parks. He just didn't have much money."
She continued that her memories of growing up with her father were "so colorful and eccentric and fun. It was a good vibe, you know? When I was like eight, I told him, 'I want to grow up and be poor like you!' He was eating a bowl of cereal. I didn't realize how wildly offensive that was!"
Lisa Marie and Danny Keough have also remained close over the years. The singer-songwriter told Rolling Stone of Keough in 2003, "He's my absolute best friend in the world. The smartest thing I've ever done is have children with this man because I knew this is the one man I could be connected to for the rest of my life."

In 1994, just twenty days after finalizing her divorce from her first husband, Danny Keough, Lisa Marie Presley married Michael Jackson. However, most of the fans did not believe in the highly celebrated union. Most thought their marriage was arranged to give the king of pop some credibility after he was accused of molesting a minor. But Lisa Marie and Michael Jackson denied those allegations, claiming that they are very much in love.
Lisa Marie first met Michael Jackson back when her father, Elvis Presley, introduced her to the Jackson 5. She was just a little kid then, but she managed to stay in touch with Jackson. Their relationship started in 1992 after allegations against Jackson became public. So it was pretty natural for Jackson to develop an emotional dependency on Lisa Marie. And such a close connection made her fall in love with him.
"I believed he didn't do anything wrong, and that he was wrongly accused and, yes, I started falling for him. I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it," she said.
But despite such a wonderful beginning, their relationship didn't last. Lisa Marie filed for a divorce in 1996 due to personal differences.
During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said that she was especially angry with Jackson after their marriage ended. Lisa Marie revealed that Jackson chose fame and drugs above her, and that hurt. She said: "We were so united, and then, at some point, he pushed me out."
Several years after her divorce with Michael Jackson, Lisa Marie Presley once again gave love another try. She was engaged to singer John Oszajca until she met actor Nicholas Cage and the sparks flew between the pair.
The two went on to have an infamously short-lived marriage, which ended in Nicolas Cage filing for divorce after two years of marriage. Speaking to Larry King in 2003, Lisa Marie reflected on her relationship with the Hollywood star, saying: "It looked attractive like I could be equal. Similar situations, similar backgrounds."
"So we connected, we had a great connection. We were both a bit – we're sort of these gypsy spirited, you know, tyrannical pirates. And one pirate marries another they will sink the ship basically is what it comes down to."
She continued: "It was kind of one of those things where you marry someone hoping… to either stabilize [my life] or it's going to, you know, accentuate all that was going on prior to what was problematic. So it kind of did the latter, that's all."
Michael Lockwood
A post shared by People Magazine (@people) on Jun 28, 2016 at 2:50pm PDT
Lisa Marie's fourth marriage was to guitarist and music producer Michael Lockwood. Though it's her longest relationship to date, it's also the one that's causing her the most trouble, since it ended up into a nasty legal battle that still goes on.
Lisa Marie and Michael Lockwood tied the knot in 2006 to a traditional Japanese ceremony in Kyoto, Japan. They went on to have a pair of twin daughters together in 2008: Finley Aaron Love and Harper Vivienne Ann.
Unfortunately, Lisa Marie filed for divorce for a fourth time in 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. The story did not end well, because the two got entangled in a court case over spousal support and the custody of the children.

Territory Jerky hail from Alice Springs in the Top End of Australia and have been making jerky since 1983. Territory Jerky is trimmed, marinated and then smoked and air dried resulting in a thin, very dry jerky.
This review is of a 25 gram pack of the their HOT Beef Jerky.
Each piece was of similar thickness and proportions. Most probably due to the wood smoking it has an external crust almost similar to pork crackling. The flavouring appears to be dried into the meat through this outer layer. The dryness makes it resemble a small piece of wood/woodchip or bark.
External crust crumbles easily in your mouth. The first taste is very mild but quickly delivers a smoky intriguing meat taste. This is then followed with a very nice hit of chilli. Chilli heads will likely want this to be hotter however for the rest of you this heat is almost spot on. I can easily see this working with a pilsner style beer during a Sunday sesh. I would happily eat this again.
Advertised as 3/5 chillies, two chews in feeling the burn. Nice steady increase in temp. Very tolerable and consistent across multiple pieces.
At $4.50 for 25g, this product is quite high in price compared to other jerky. This is mainly due to the size/weight of the actual package. 25g is not a lot of jerky, but being so dry, it is quite light therefore there is still a reasonable amount.


Glamorous Kate Middleton wows in red gown at glitzy bash | HELLO!
It was all eyes on the Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, as she stepped out for a reception in Canada on Monday evening.
The royal wowed in a red Preen dress with an asymmetrical neckline. The beautiful gown is the British brand's Finella Midi Dress, and has a price tag of £1000.
Kate accessorised with the Queen's diamond maple leaf brooch, her red suede Miu Miu clutch and matching silettos. Her hair was tied in a low chignon, letting the dress take centre stage.
The glitzy bash in their honour was held at Government House in Victoria.
Kate's glamorous appearance came after a more dressed-down day for the Duchess.
The royal mastered laidback chic as she and Prince William arrived at the Great Bear Rainforest in Bella Bella, Canada.
The mother-of-two once again upped the style stakes, sporting a chic tailored jacket and jeans combination.
The tailored cream jacket was from Holland and Holland, and she paired it with black skinny jeans from one of her favourite high street shops, Zara, and a pair of brown knee-high boots.
When it came to her jewellery, she chose to champion a Canadian designer, opting for sparkling earrings from Pippa Small. It was her only choice of accessory, with the Duchess choosing not to carry a clutch or handbag.
We can't wait to see the rest of Kate's tour outfits – stay tuned!


Kariba's difficulties are more complicated. It has been nearly incapacitated by ongoing drought, which has lowered the reservoir's volume to twelve per cent of its usual capacity. But if the reservoir is refilled, the dam faces the possibility of collapse. It was built in the late nineteen-fifties, and in the years since water flowing through the dam's six floodgates has carved a three-hundred-foot-deep pit, or plunge pool, at its base. The plunge pool extends to within a hundred and thirty feet of the dam's foundation; if it reaches the foundation, the dam will collapse. That seems hard to imagine now, with the reservoir at a record-low level. But the Zambezi River Basin, on which the dam sits, is the most susceptible of Africa's thirteen basins to exceptional droughts and floods, and climate change is intensifying both.
Kariba's collapse, like Mosul's, would constitute an epochal event in the history of energy development—the dam industry's Chernobyl. The ensuing torrent would be four times bigger than the Zambezi's biggest recorded flood, in 1958, and would release enough water to knock over another major dam three hundred miles downstream, in Mozambique. At least three million people live in the flood's path; most would die or lose their crops or possessions. About forty per cent of the electricity-generating capacity of twelve southern African nations would be eliminated.
The dam, four hundred and twenty feet tall and nearly two thousand feet wide, was built with financing from the World Bank to provide power for the copper mines of what was then Northern Rhodesia. The designers intended to make the dam impervious to a one-in-ten-thousand-year flood, but their calculations were based on only three decades of Zambezi flow data—a period too short to permit credible forecasting. This flaw became apparent in 1957, when the site, still under construction, was hit with a flood bigger than the designers' worst-case projection. The planners hurriedly enlarged the spillway, but in 1958 the project was hit by another flood, twice as big as the previous one, so the spillway was expanded again. More recent projections, cited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, indicate that the Zambezi River Basin will experience still drier and more prolonged droughts and even bigger floods in years to come.
But "immediate" means decades, not years. "It takes a long time to carry out the necessary due diligence and secure the financing for a complex project like this," Munyaradzi Munodawafa, the chief executive of the Zambezi River Authority, which operates Kariba, told me in an e-mail. "We're looking at a fifteen- to twenty-year process, in which we are five years under way." To repair the dam, workers will enlarge the plunge pool downstream, to reduce erosion near the foundation. But it's not certain to work, and major flooding could occur before the repairs are completed.
The World Bank and other international financiers like dams because they seem to offer large-scale solutions to energy and water shortages. Kariba is just one of more than two thousand large dams in Africa; Zimbabwe, one of the world's poorest nations, has at least two hundred and fifty-four. But maintaining a dam is expensive—and much less popular than building one. Even in affluent countries such as the United States—whose dam infrastructure is in sufficient disrepair to have earned a "D" rating from the American Society of Civil Engineers, in 2013—maintenance is often neglected; it's not likely to fare better in impoverished, corruption-ridden countries such as Zimbabwe or Iraq. Dams can't be drained, and dismantling them can be as costly as building them. It's the trap of Industrial Age technology: once mechanized systems supplant natural ones, they must be managed in perpetuity, or else they break down.

Farnborough: First day order recap
By Alex Derber
July 16, 2018, (c) Airfinance Journal: Day One of Farnborough 2018 belonged firmly to Boeing in terms of firm orders, although the US manufacturer saved up many of its largest announcements from deals done earlier in the year. Airbus, meanwhile, almost achieved parity if one includes softer commitments from airlines and lessors, although there were some speculative deals, notably a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for 17 A350s from Starlux, a Taiwanese start-up not yet in business.
Other noteworthy deals included lessor Jackson Square Aviation's first new aircraft order and United decision to buy E175s rather than the newer E2 variant.

Indigo, India's market-leading airline
April 18, 2018, ©. Leeham News: Indigo started its operation 2006, offering low-cost air travel to the masses in India. The year after, Air India and Indian Airlines, the state-owned flag International and Domestic carrier, merged to form India's largest airline at the time, Air India.
By the end of 2010, Indigo passed Air India and by 2013 Jet Airways for domestic passenger market share, a position it has kept since.

Embraer thinks a business case can be made for turboprop, but nothing soon
March 12, 2018 © Leeham Co.: Embraer isn't planning any new airplane any time soon, but studies about a turboprop and an electric airplane are underway.
One concept of the Embraer turboprop under study.
The current focus is on introducing the Ejet-E2 into service, however. The E190-E2 goes into service next month. The E195-E2 follows next year and the E175-E2 in 2021.
Studies about the electric plane, with 50 passengers or less, perhaps are more esoteric than pending reality. Airbus and Boeing also are studying this concept.
The prospect of a turboprop may be more rooted in reality, however.
Current turboprop designs are aging.
Bombardier's exit from the turboprop market is considered likely.
Tough business case seen working with Bombardier exit.
The ATR is too small for some airlines.

Trump decertifies Iran nuke deal, throws Airbus, Boeing orders in doubt
Oct. 16, 2017, © Leeham Co.: President Donald Trump announced Friday he will decertify the Iran nuclear deal, throwing into doubt a host of related commercial deals, including huge aircraft orders.

Trump hasn't gone so far as to withdraw from the pact, but he still threatens to do so unless Congress makes changes he wants.
Here in the US, focus is, of course, on the commitment by Iran for Boeing aircraft—none of which are firm contracts, but "commitments" to order.
Of less focus here, if any, is on the outstanding orders placed by Iran for Airbus and ATR aircraft, which are subject to US licensing.
30 Boeing 777s, including 15 Classics are at stake.
50 Boeing 737 MAXes to Iran Air and 30 to Iran Asesman are also at stake.
ATR has 11 aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2018.
Airbus sold 114 A320s/321s, A330s and A350s to Iran Air. A few white tails already have been delivered.

Pratt & Whitney Canada monitors engines through FAST
Sept. 20, 2017, © Leeham Co., Montreal: Pratt & Whitney Canada FAST system monitoring for engines on regional airliners is also part of its general and corporate aviation and helicopter customer support.
FAST isn't an acronym. It describes the intent of quickly responding to issues that arise and to identify issues that are trending before these create a serviceability problem.
"We are continuing to develop the FAST system, which transmits health monitoring parameters and can reduce maintenance costs, Frederic Lefebvre, VP-Marketing for Regional Airlines, told LNC during our visit to PWC last week.

Pratt & Whitney Canada continues development of new airliner turboprop
Sept. 14, 2017, © Leeham Co., Montreal: The prospect of a clean-sheet design turboprop to replace the Bombardier Q400 and ATR series likely has moved to the right by two to three years,
Frederic Lefebvre, Pratt & Whitney Canada.
and the total market remains small, but Pratt & Whitney Canada is forging ahead with development of the next generation engine.
Update: Embraer is considering reentering the turboprop market, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The goal is to reduce fuel consumption by 15%-20% compared with today's ubiquitous PW127 and PW150, which continue to see reductions in fuel burn through product improvement packages.
Frederic Lefebvre, VP-Marketing for Regional Airlines, now sees development of the new turboprop slipping to 2022-2026 compared with previous forecasts of an EIS in 2020-2023.
The Next Generation Regional Turboprop (NGRT) has major challenges to improve upon the current generation of engines.
PWC sees a much larger market for a 90-seat turboprop than others.

Bombardier admits shortfall on Q400, CRJ, vows comeback
Sept. 13, 2017, © Leeham Co.: Bombardier wasn't "fully at the top of its game for focus and messaging on the Q400 and CRJ," a top official admitted Tuesday. But the company is "turning that around" and initial results were seen at last summer's Paris Air Show with a spurt of orders for the turboprop airliner.

A: Use can use LINQ query to get your result
int rowStart = worksheet.Dimension.Start.Row;
int rowEnd = worksheet.Dimension.End.Row;

string cellRange = rowStart.ToString() + ":" + rowEnd.ToString();

var searchCell =from cell in worksheet.Cells[cellRange] //you can define your own range of cells for lookup
                 where cell.Value.ToString() == "Total"
                 select cell.Start.Row;

int rowNum = searchCell.First();

A: You can get the cell address in which your string is.
            foreach (var worksheetCell in worksheet.Cells)

Richard Hennessy (Irlandais : Ristéard Ó hAonghusa), né en 1724 à Cill a Mhuilinn en Irlande et mort le  à Cognac, était un négociant jacobite, fondateur de l'entreprise de cognac Hennessy.

Une jeunesse au service du roi de France

Richard Hennessy naquit en 1724 à Cill a Mhuilinn (Killavullen), petit village dans le comté de Cork en Irlande, au sein d'une famille de la petite noblesse irlandaise descendant de sir Richard Nagle. Fils de James Hennessy, esq. de Ballymacmoy, et de Catherine Barrett, il quitta à 19 ans le comté de Cork pour échapper à l'oppression anglaise, à l'instar de milliers de jeunes catholiques de son pays. Il s'engagea dans la brigade irlandaise du roi de France et devint officier au régiment de Clare, au service de Louis XV. C'est peu après la bataille de Fontenoy, en 1745, qu'il découvrit la Charente. Par la suite, il connut divers déboires, et les vingt années qui précédèrent son investissement dans le négoce de l'eau-de-vie de Cognac s'apparentent à « un catalogue de frustrations et d'échecs ».

Du négoce à la production
En 1757, Richard Hennessy partit à Ostende pour se former au négoce auprès de son cousin Jacques. C'est lors de son retour en France, en 1765, qu'il décida de s'installer en Charente. Après avoir négocié l'aide de banquiers parisiens, il arriva dans cette région avec son épouse Hélène (née Barrett, par ailleurs tante d'Edmund Burke) et leur fils Jacques pour fonder, avec deux associés, Connelly et Arthur, sa propre maison de négoce en eaux-de-vie. Le commerce des eaux de vie connaissait alors un essor spectaculaire et les installations d'étrangers, notamment issus du monde britannique, dans le Cognaçais se multiplièrent au cours de la décennie 1760. Le marché irlandais notamment attirait les eaux de vie du continent, d'abord parce que les droits de douane y étaient bien inférieurs à ceux pratiqués en Grande-Bretagne, ensuite parce que les pénuries de rhum dues à la guerre de Sept Ans, jointes à une succession de mauvaises récoltes, « impliquait que le goût croissant pour l'alcool ne pourrait être satisfait que par l'augmentation des importations ».

Il élargit sa clientèle en expédiant les eaux-de-vie achetées à Cognac vers Londres, Dublin et les Flandres. Il comptait en outre des clients à la Cour du roi de France, tel le prince de Soubise, familier de la Charente. Cependant, la Maison Hennessy était encore d'une importance négligeable dans les années 1770, et Richard Hennessy quitta d'ailleurs la ville en 1776 pour s'installer à Bordeaux, où il avait des parents, comme distillateur, en association avec l'alderman George Boyd. Ce n'est que dans le contexte de la décennie révolutionnaire que « les Hennessy, jusqu'alors une maison mineure, accédèrent au rang de grands ». Deux alliances par mariage avec une maison plus ancienne et solidement établie, les Martell, permirent et entérinèrent à la fois cette promotion dans la dernière décennie du siècle.

De nos jours, l'entreprise fondée par Richard Hennessy est l'un des plus importantes acteurs des spiritueux de luxe dans le monde, .

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are constantly harshly judged by those who have no idea the life they live.
Being a fan of a celebrity is always a great time. I mean, they influence you and sometimes pave the way through hard times in your life.
But it's recently hit headlines that many (once again) have become possessive over people in the limelight who have a personal life. That's the key sentence, which means why are fans saying hateful things to Hailey Bieber.
The one Justin has chosen to love forever and eternity. I won't apologize when I say this but if you are one of these fans, it's time to take a step back and realize a few facts.
These may be harsh but if they can't say it, I will and yes, I don't matter to you.
You don't own Justin Bieber or any talent in the industry.
Let me just help save you some time.
That combined with the fact that they work in the entertainment industry means, this is a job. You know, as we go about our lives. I used to wake up and go to work at a hospital. I loved helping patients smile.
Positive Celebrity Exclusive: Daniel Radcliffe talks charity, his favorite role and more!
It's just like when you're told not to touch a cookie.
You end up find a way to get that damn cookie and if not, you can't stop thinking about it, right? Further, this can apply to many things in life.
Guys, at the end of the damn day they bleed the same blood you do and in the case of Justin Bieber and Haily Bieber, their relationship faces the very problems ours sometimes face with the added stress.
Could you imagine knowing the majority of the planet knows about you and your life?
Getting up every morning to do your job and help "entertain," but you run into horrible tabloids with false data or hateful comments?
That's just as hard as going to school when you know you made a mistake and everyone knew about it, or at least the most relatable one I can think of, judge me, I don't care.
Why can we not understand that "celebrities," have a private life, they deserve respect just as you do in life? In fact, how does it make you feel when someone hurts you with the power of words?
We've stated this once before but honestly, there are still those who do not get it.
You do not own Justin Bieber. Chances are you will likely never be his "love." But that is okay, I mean, he helped you with his talents.
You do not personally know Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, Ellen DeGeneres, Jimmy Fallon or even Tony freaking Hawk.
Positive Celebrity Exclusive: Brody Ray talks AGT, his transition and the LGBTQ community!
Therefore that's the understanding, they influence you, they make your life better.
Share how they make your life good, not what you think about their life. Nobody in this world likes negative people.
Celebrities are hired by companies to ENTERTAIN, they are not required to do anything outside of their work agreements but they do, why is that not enough?
Sigh, much love and blessed be.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber reschedule for family, not drama!
Celebrities are just like you, here's why!


There has never been a better time to become involved in a Neighbourhood Watch. The community will benefit from everyone joining their local Neighbourhood Watch Group or starting their own group.
The question is - what can you do about reducing the opportunity of crime?
Most of us lead busy lives and know that any spare time is at a premium.
However, you may find you do have a few hours to spare and can use them as a volunteer to join Neighbourhood Watch and this will benefit your local community.
It is generally accepted that crime reduction and crime prevention are most successful when they involve everybody, not just the Police.
Neighbourhood Watch has a large and most successful crime prevention organisation, it started in the UK in 1982 and would not have lasted that long had it not been so successful in keeping crime down.
Behind it lies a simple idea shared by millions of people getting together with your neighbours to take action can cut local crime'.
If you would like more information?
Please look at the Essex County Neighbourhood Watch website www.essexnhw.org.uk for details of your District Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators or email your full address to [email protected] and you will be contacted and it is hoped that you will be able to offer any time to join Neighbourhood Watch.
Essex County Neighbourhood Watch Association.
My first year as Chairman has been a challenging time and an enjoyable experience.
So what have I achieved in the past year?
The meetings are much more pro-active, they are more about what each District Co-ordinator has actioned since the previous meetings. I have kept my Chairman's report brief as a summary and updated was read out like today. I feel that it is the District Co-ordinator's meeting and it is their opportunity to keep us updated on what they have achieved and any new ideas too.
Guest speakers are left at the end of "business", and it is a more effective use of our time.
Also first on the Agenda are representatives of Essex Police and The Office of Police and Crime Commissioner so they can report and then, if they have other commitments, can leave. I hope they will be able to regularly attend our meetings in the months ahead.
Mike Hooper. Our Treasurer who has had a busy year and has been excellent in managing the accounts.
Peter Salmon Vice Chairman: He has worked tirelessly in registering ECNWA as a Charity, and I am delighted to say that due to his excellent efforts we are very close on being a registered Charity. He has attended various meetings throughout Essex and representing ECNWA at Crimestoppers meetings.
Sally-Ann Judd (Minute Secretary) she has been excellent in taking the minutes and they are on our Essex County NW website. Her time is appreciated as it must be a busy time at Essex Police.
Peter Fisk For all his excellent work re County Website which I hope that each District will make more effort to update their information.
Essex Police: We all have had many face to face meetings with Essex Police since May 2015.
This included attending Tasking meetings and planning of "Active Citizens" operations.
At the beginning of my first year as Chairman I did request that all Districts Co-ordinators should and they did have regular meetings with their Essex Police District Commanders and Neighbourhood Policing Teams.
Essex Police have had their funding drastically cut and have had to change their ways of operating to keep within their new budgets. Also in recent months Essex Police's priorities have been based on challenging and variable demands so we must support them in whatever way we can.
Since my election in 2015, I, as Chairman, have had more one to one meetings with Senior Police Officers, including ACC Mrs Wortley and ACC Mr. Mason, than the previous two Chairmen of ECNWA had in total over the past ten years. At all these meetings Essex Police knew that we are keen to do whatever we can, with whatever time we have, to work more effectively with them to reduce the opportunity of crime.
ESSEX COMMUNITY MESSAGING: At times this has been a little difficult for some of us to acknowledge any benefits but with Jeff Appleby now on board and the training of many NW members will make it more successful.
My theme for Essex County Neighbourhood Watch for 2016/2017 should be "Better Communication is the Key".
We must continue to send messages in whatever form to the community to reduce the opportunity of crime.
So using all media not only ECM, but also by email, websites, texts, and phones and also the old fashion way "talking" face to face.
Finally we must always continue to recognise those in the community who want a "piece of paper" and do not choose or are unable to have access to computers/broadband - it is Neighbourhood Watches responsibility to ensure they are never forgotten.
Clive Stewart, Chairman, Essex County NW Association, 27th July 2016.
