Does Easter celebrate a man, a savior, or a myth? Some say Jesus never existed and was a myth created by early Christians.
The Jesus debate: Man vs. myth
By John Blake, CNN
(CNN)– Timothy Freke was flipping through an old academic book when he came across a religious image that some would call obscene.
It was a drawing of a third-century amulet depicting a naked man nailed to a cross. The man was born of a virgin, preached about being "born again" and had risen from the dead after crucifixion, Freke says.
But the name on the amulet wasn't Jesus. It was a pseudonym for Osiris-Dionysus, a pagan god in ancient Mediterranean culture. Freke says the amulet was evidence of something that sounds like sacrilege – and some would say it is: that Jesus never existed. He was a myth created by first-century Jews who modeled him after other dying and resurrected pagan gods, says Freke, author of "The Jesus Mysteries: Was the 'Original Jesus' a Pagan God?"
"If I said to you that there was no real Good Samaritan, I don't think anyone would be outraged," says Freke, one of a group of mythicists who say Jesus never existed. "It's a teaching story. What we're saying is that the Jesus story is an allegory. It's a parable of the spiritual journey."
On Easter Sunday, millions of Christians worldwide mark the resurrection of Jesus. Though Christians clash over many issues, almost all agree that he existed.
But there is another view of Jesus that's been emerging, one that strikes at the heart of the Easter story. A number of authors and scholars say Jesus never existed. Such assertions could have been ignored in an earlier age. But in the age of the Internet and self-publishing, these arguments have gained enough traction that some of the world's leading New Testament scholars feel compelled to publicly take them on.
Most Jesus deniers are Internet kooks, says Bart D. Ehrman, a New Testament scholar who recently released a book devoted to the question called "Did Jesus Exist? The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth."
Your comments on Jesus deniers
He says Freke and others who deny Jesus' existence are conspiracy theorists trying to sell books.
"There are people out there who don't think the Holocaust happened, there wasn't a lone JFK assassin and Obama wasn't born in the U.S.," Ehrman says. "Among them are people who don't think Jesus existed."
Does it matter if Jesus existed?
Some Jesus mythicists say many New Testament scholars are intellectual snobs.
"I don't think I'm some Internet kook or Holocaust denier," says Robert Price, a former Baptist pastor who argues in "Deconstructing Jesus" that a historical Jesus probably didn't exist.
"They say I'm a bitter ex-fundamentalist. It's pathetic to see this character assassination. That's what people resort to when they don't have solid arguments."
The debate over Jesus' existence has led to a curious role reversal. Two of the New Testament scholars who are leading the way arguing for Jesus' existence have a reputation for attacking, not defending, traditional Christianity.
Ehrman, for example, is an agnostic who has written books that argue that virtually half of the New Testament is forged. Another defender of Jesus' existence is John Dominic Crossan, a New Testament scholar who has been called a heretic because his books challenge some traditional Christian teachings.
But as to the existence of Jesus, Crossan says, he's "certain."
He says some Jesus deniers may be people who have a problem with Christianity.
"It's a way of responding to something you don't like," Crossan says. "We can't say that Obama doesn't exist, but we can say that he's not an American. If we're talking about Obama in the future, there are people who might not only say he wasn't American, but he didn't even exist."
Does it even matter if Jesus existed? Can't people derive inspiration from his teachings whether he actually walked the Earth?
Crossan says Jesus' existence matters in the same way that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s existence mattered.
If King never existed, people would say his ideas are lovely, but they could never work in the real world, Crossan says.
It's the same with an historical Jesus, Crossan writes in his latest book, "The Power of Parable: How Fiction by Jesus Became Fiction about Jesus."
"The power of Jesus' historical life challenges his followers by proving at least one human being could cooperate fully with God. And if one, why not others? If some, why not all?"
The evidence against Jesus' existence
Those who argue against Jesus' existence make some of these points:
-The uncanny parallels between pagan stories in the ancient world and the stories of Jesus.
-No credible sources outside the Bible say Jesus existed.
-The Apostle Paul never referred to a historical Jesus.
Price, author of "Deconstructing Jesus," says the first-century Western world was full of stories of a martyred hero who is called a son of God.
"There are ancient novels from that period where the hero is condemned to the cross and even crucified, but he escapes and survives it," Price says. "That looks like Jesus."
Those who argue for the existence of Jesus often cite two external biblical sources: the Jewish historian Josephus who wrote about Jesus at the end of the first century and the Roman historian Tacitus, who wrote about Jesus at the start of the second century.
But some scholars say Josephus' passage was tampered with by later Christian authors. And Price says the two historians are not credible on Jesus.
"Josephus and Tacitus – they both thought Hercules was a true figure," Price says. "Both of them spoke of Hercules as a figure that existed."
Price concedes that there were plenty of mythical stories that were draped around historical figures like Caesar. But there's plenty of secular documentation to show Caesar existed.
"Everything we read about Jesus in the gospels conforms to the mythic hero," Price says. "There's nothing left over that indicates that he was a real historical figure."
Those who argue for the existence of Jesus cite another source: the testimony of the Apostle Paul and Jesus' early disciples. Paul even writes in one New Testament passage about meeting James, the brother of Jesus.
These early disciples not only believed Jesus was real but were willing to die for him. People don't die for myths, some biblical scholars say.
They will if the experience is powerful enough, says Richard Carrier, author of "Proving History."
Carrier says it's probable that Jesus never really existed and that early Christians experienced a mythic Jesus who came to them through visions and revelations.
Two of the most famous stories in the New Testament – the conversion of Paul and the stoning death of Stephen, one of the first Christian martyrs - show that people seized by religious visions are willing to die, Carrier says.
In both the Paul and Stephen stories, the writers say that they didn't see an actual Jesus but a heavenly vision of Jesus, Carrier says.
People "can have powerful religious experiences that don't correspond to reality," Carrier says.
"The perfect model is Paul himself," Carrier says. "He never met Jesus. Paul only had an encounter with this heavenly Jesus. Paul is completely converted by this religious experience, but no historical Jesus is needed for that to happen."
As for the passage where Paul says he met James, Jesus' brother, Carrier says:
"The problem with that is that all baptized Christians were considered brothers of the Lord."
The evidence for Jesus' existence
Some scholars who argue for the existence of Jesus says the New Testament mentions actual people and events that are substantiated by historical documents and archaeological discoveries.
Ehrman, author of "Did Jesus Exist?" scoffed at the notion that the ancient world was full of pagan stories about dying deities that rose again. Where's the proof? he asks.
Ehrman devoted an entire section of his book to critiquing Freke, the mythicist and author of "The Jesus Mysteries: Was the 'Original Jesus' a Pagan God?" who says there was an ancient Osiris-Dionysus figure who shares uncanny parallels to Jesus.
He says Freke can't offer any proof that an ancient Osiris figure was born on December 25, was crucified and rose again. He says Freke is citing 20th- and 19th-century writers who tossed out the same theories.
Ehrman says that when you read ancient stories about mythological figures like Hercules and Osiris, "there's nothing about them dying and rising again."
"He doesn't know much about ancient history," Ehrman says of Freke. "He's not a scholar. All he knows is what he's read in other conspiracy books."
Craig A. Evans, the author of "Jesus and His World: The Archaeological Evidence," says the notion that Paul gave his life for a mythical Jesus is absurd.
He says the New Testament clearly shows that Paul was an early enemy of the Christian church who sought to stamp out the burgeoning Jesus movement.
"Don't you think if you were in Paul's shoes, you would have quickly discovered that there was no Jesus?" Evans asks. "If there was no Jesus, then how did the movement start?"
Evans also dismissed the notion that early Christians blended or adopted pagan myths to create their own mythical Jesus. He says the first Christians were Jews who despised everything about pagan culture.
"For a lot of Jewish people, the pagan world was disgusting," Evans says. "I can't imagine [the Gospel writer] Matthew making up a story where he is drawing parallels between Jesus' birth and pagan stories about Zeus having sex with some fair maiden."
The words of Jesus also offer proof that he actually existed, Evans says. A vivid personality practically bursts from the pages of the New Testament: He speaks in riddles, talks about camels squeezing through the eye of a needle, weeps openly and even loses his temper.
Evans says he is a man who is undeniably Jewish, a genius who understands his culture but also transcends his tradition with gem-like parables.
"Who but Jesus could tell the Parable of the Good Samaritan?" Evans says. "Where does this bolt of lightning come from? You don't get this out of an Egyptian myth."
Those who argue against the existence of Jesus say they aren't trying to destroy people's faith.
"I don't have any desire to upset people," says Freke. "I do have a passion for the truth. … I don't think rational people in the 20th century can go down a road just on blind faith."
Yet Easter was never just about rationale.
The Easter stories about the resurrection are strange: Disciples don't recognize Jesus as they meet him on the road; he tells someone not to touch him; he eats fish in another.
In the Gospel of Matthew, a resurrected Jesus suddenly appears to a group of disciples and gives them this cryptic message:
"Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
And what did they see: a person, a pagan myth or a savior?
Albert Schweitzer, a 20th-century theologian and missionary, suggested that there will never be one answer to that question. He said that looking for Jesus in history is like looking down a well: You see only your own reflection.
The "real" Jesus, Schweitzer says, will remain "a stranger and an enigma," someone who is always ahead of us.

18 "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25 But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, 'THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'
This story is 2000 years old. I'd recommend giving it up if you're waiting for proof he existed in order for you to have faith. Personally, I find it compelling that ideas for the rights of women, rejection of pious leaders and totally new perspectives on freedom from guilt were discussed in vibrant modern terms in such ancient times. I'd focus first on the message regarding justice and forgiveness, if makes sense or not to you, then proceed with your own personal investigation.

!! Shame on CNN for posting this ridiculous article on Easter Sunday and attacking Christianity on this holiday !!
(CNN would never do this to any Jewish/Muslim holidays – luckily poor Christians are always forgiving)
Do like me and many others: *** CALL/E-MAIL CNN & COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS BS! ***
– Happy Easter everyone and may our Lord & Saviour bless us all who believe in him. –
jimtanker
You're right, I will email CNN. And let them know what a great job that they are doing. Thanks for the idea.
The Holy Collection plate will love you and keep you from harm and give you an afterlife. Just don't rock our boat in this one.
notheism
Why do you need people to call or complain, you have your "lord" on your side...
It's just an article. Half the country doesn't believe in God.
God can't be mocked.
If people don't believe, that is their choice/decision.
You could have and should have chosen a better day to post this story. Shame on you. If this were some Jewish holiday CNN would never let a story questioning some Jewish figure run on their holiday. Shame! Luckily us Christians are forgiving
And the bible says women should not speak in public. So STFU.
Dave, Central Illinois
Right you are! CNN doesn't have the guts to publish anything which would question Islam. That's because they are cowards. Christians are easy targets because, as a whole, we do not answer criticism with violance.
"People don't die for myths, some biblical scholars say."
So why did the highjackers do what they did again?
These people are clueless.

I could not agree more. Perhaps on Yom Kippur or during Ramadan CNN "News" could write about Moses or Muhammad being flakes too. Honestly, as a Christian, I am tired of being bullied by CNN.
Watch what anthropologists, archeologists and religious historians seeking the truth have to say about where god came from:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlnnWbkMlbg
In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it. – Abraham Lincoln
Atheists are so arrogant!
I am a humble Christian who believes that God personally communicates with me, and that I am so special to Him that He answers my prayers, and he has a special plan for me, and He has a superspecial afterlife waiting for me, and He will horribly torture people I don't agree with. Because I am humble.
Atheists are so arrogant that they believe they are only one person in 7,000,000,000, on a planet that is only one of probably billions throughout the universe. What arrogance, thinking they are such gods!
People aren't born Christian. They hear the Word, believe it and choose to follow Christ.
Someone once said "God doesn't have any grandchildren" (meaning: you aren't a Christian just because your parents were; it's a choice).
They hear it pounded in while they are still impressionable children who will believe anything that adults tell them.
YeahOk
@Atheists are so arrogant!
"He will horribly torture people I don't agree with."
Make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
"Atheists are so arrogant that they believe they are only one person in 7,000,000,000, on a planet that is only one of probably billions throughout the universe."
Ummm, are you saying I am more than one person in 7,000,000,000?
Logic is knocking
The selfish belief that the universe was created solely for us, makes a lot of sense. Since the dawn of man we have moved frim polytheism to monotheism. Life is dwindling away at the structure of theology. We are all Atheists my friend. You have just one more god than I.
JOE47Y
talk about arrogance, you must be the poster child for it. GOOD LUCK1
The gods of all organized religions, if true, would all be horribly unjust and evil deities to send billions of people to eternal suffering for choosing the wrong one or being born in the wrong place. Looking at organized religion objectively, they are myths from iron age societies that were trying to explain the world, and there is virtually no chance any one is truth.
Rationally speaking if there is a just god and an afterlife, you will be judged on how you live your life. Rejecting reason and deluding yourself in blind faith does not help your case.
You won't find the concept of eternal suffering for humans in the Bible. It doesn't exist. It was an invention, like so many inventions, of the Catholic church. Rev 20:12 "The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books." Oncethey are judged, they must atone for their own sins, and after that...the end.

Q: asp.net mvc: binding complex objects
*

*consider classic example: Product
and Category

*editing Product

*in dropdown Id of Category is
selected - Category mapped
as object with all fields empty
except Id

*when submitting Product edit form -
validation gives an error: "Category
name is required" (I have Required
attribute on Category Name property)

How deal with such errors if I want to use built-in validation (if (!ModelState.IsValid))?
Writing custom data binder which would fill all such id-only-objects with values from database comes to mind.
Do you have any other solutions for this problem?

A: You need to pass back your edited product and the category id. Then in you controller/repository get the category from the passed category id and set the category as the product category.
As the category is returned from the db (or wherever) all the properties should be propulates so you shouldn't get "Category name is required"
A quick example of what I mean:
[HTTPost]
public ActionResult Save(Product product, int? categoryId)
{
  Category category = GetCategory(categoryID);

  product.Category = category;

  if (ModelState.IsValid)
  {
    // Save etc.

Who Was Amelia Shepherd Engaged to on 'Private Practice'?
Wondering about Amelia Shepherd's life before Grey's Anatomy?
On Thursday, Grey's Anatomy aired an episode that hit all of us right in the feels, especially if you've seen the spinoff Private Practice. The truth is, if you haven't dedicated part of your life to see the spinoff series featuring Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh), then you might not understand the full depths of Caterina Scorsone's Amelia Shepherd, who appeared on the spinoff before her time on Grey's. In the most recent episode, Amelia revealed that her fiance died of an overdose, which ultimately made her decide to get clean and live. While Private Practice fans were left in a puddle of tears, many fans who have only watched the flagship series wondered who Amelia was engaged to before she married Owen (Kevin McKidd).
So who was the man Amelia was talking about in "I Want a New Drug"? Ryan Kerrigan, played by actor Wes Brown.
Amelia and Ryan met in season 5 of Private Practice, but his time on the show was short-lived, as he only appeared in 3 episodes. The couple met after a one-night stand. However, they fell for each other fast and decided to get clean together. However, after the pair decided to get high one last time together, Ryan overdosed.
While Amelia did say her peace about Ryan in the episode of Grey's, it's now clear just how much Betty's (Peyton Kennedy) storyline paralleled Amelia's in Private Practice and why it hit Amelia so hard after she found out that Betty's boyfriend died.
Now, all we can hope is that, like Amelia, Betty decides to live.
Are you surprised by Amelia's past?

A description of frogs and toads found in Tennessee.
Extractions: Rana catesbeiana Info: Bullfrogs are the largest frogs in the U.S. - typically 3.5 - 6 inches long. They are green to brown in color and are characterized by a ridge curving from behind the eye around the tympanum (the "ears"). Metamorphosis of tadpoles takes 1 to 2 years. They will eat almost anything they can fit into their mouths. Voice: ( WAV or AU file ) Described as a deep, bass "VRUU-UUM". (courtesy of Lang Elliot) Habitat: Bullfrogs live in medium to large permanent bodies of water (lakes or ponds) throughout Tennessee. Green Frog Rana clamitans Info: Green Frogs range in size between 2 and 3.5 inches long. They are green to brown in color, and are characterized by ridges around the tympanum and folds extending down the middle of the back. Metamorphosis of tadpoles takes several months. Voice: ( WAV or AU file ) Similar to the sound of a loose banjo string.
Extractions: Photos by Author Missouri toads and frogs are colorful, harmless, vocal and valuable. Our forests, prairies, rivers, swamps and marshes are home to a multitude of toads and frogs, but few people know how many varieties we have, how to tell them apart, or much about their natural history. Studying these animals and sharing their stories with fellow Missourians is one of the most pleasurable and rewarding aspects of my work. An egg mass from the wood frog Some tadpoles are beautifully colored (eastern gray treefrog). One often-asked question is: "What are the differences between toads and frogs?" While they are more similar than different, there are some basic distinctions. Toads have dry, warty skin, while frogs have smooth, wet kin. Toads do not have teeth; frogs have tiny teeth on both upper and lower jaws. Toads have shorter hind legs than most frogs. Toads hop, frogs jump. Female toads lay their eggs in long, parallel strings; female frogs-depending on the species-lay their eggs singly, in small clumps, in large clumps, or as a film of eggs on the water surface. Although most people would be hard-pressed to identify a variety of toads and frogs by the sounds they make, people generally are aware of the fact that these animals have voices and are interesting to listen to. A male toad or frog produces his call by a rapid back-and-forth movement of air over his vocal cords. When calling, a toad or frog will close its mouth and nasal openings and force air from its lungs over the vocal cords into the mouth cavity, then back over the vocal cords and into the lungs. Producing a sound in this "closed system" enables some anurans (toads and frogs) to vocalize under water. These animals use an enlarged throat or expandable vocal sac to resonate their calls.

True frogs The Savannah River Site, rich in wetlands, provides habitat for many species of anurans, the frogs and toads. Anurans all look similar: They are tail-less as adults, but they exhibit a variety of modifications that suit them for their different ways of life. True frogs have powerful hind legs with extensive webbing on their back feet for swimming. Treefrogs have sticky disks on their toes for climbing, and toads have a drier skin for a more terrestrial existence. Like their relatives, the salamanders, most frogs and toads exhibit a complex life cycle, beginning as an egg, hatching into an aquatic larva (a tadpole, which does have a tail), undergoing metamorphosis, and eventually leaving the water in the adult form. This process takes longer in some species than in others. Spadefoot toads, for example, often breed in temporary pools, so their development time must be brief to avoid drying. They metamorphose in just a few weeks. The more aquatic bullfrog drops her eggs in permanent waters, and the tadpoles may take as long as two years to complete development. Some of these animals are commonly encountered, but others are secretive, spending most of their time underground, in the water, or high in trees. The best time to observe the more inconspicuous frogs and toads is during breeding season. On warm spring and summer nights the wetlands of the SRS are humming with frog songs, as males call out to attract potential mates. Frogs and toads can be identified by their calls, which are unique to their species. Make sure to check out the calls here on our Web site.

Q: Office Fluent UI / DatePicker - onSelectDate does not send event as parameter I use the Datapicker component:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/datepicker
In one form i use multiple DatePicker components like startDate, endDate, etc.
I call the DatePicker components like this:
 <DatePicker
            label="Start date"
            id="dateFrom"
            name="dateFrom"
            onSelectDate={props.onChangeDatePicker}
            value={new Date(props.entity.datumFrom)}
          />

The documentation says that onSelectData callback function only gives a selected date as a parameter.
onSelectDate - (date: Date | null | undefined) => void
There is not event returned that would help me know which of the following datepickers was selected.
This functionality exists for example on the TextField component that has the method onChange:
onChange-
(event: React.FormEvent<HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement>, newValue?: string) => void
When i have the event i can call event.target.name and event.target.value to get the needed info.
Is there a way to get the event, or some other object so i can know which datepicker component was called?

A: try this:
  handleDateSelection = (e) => {
    console.log(e)
}

<DatePicker
        label="Start date"
        id="dateFrom"
        name="dateFrom"
        onSelectDate={this.handleDateSelection}
        value={new Date(props.entity.datumFrom)}

In the course of the last years, music videos have lost their impact on the development of popular culture. Music television channels such as MTV or VIVA were broadly received in the 1990s. Nowadays, television loses its influence since the internet has taken over many of its functions. Users are able to listen to their favourite music on video platforms as YouTube or via streaming softwares as Deezer or Spotify. Thus, there is no necessity for people to wait for their preferred music in front of a TV. In contrast to television channels, online platforms are not bound to a specified place but can be accessed anywhere. Although some TV channels are made available online, it is still more difficult to make use of them. Similarly, in the mid of the 1970s, radio loses influence as a medium of advertising. The inevitable next step was the introduction of the music video and own channels for that genre (Neumann-Braun and Schmidt 11).
To start with, one should find a definition for music video. Neumann-Braun and Schmidt say a music video is a "three to five-minute film in which a song (pop or rock) is visualized by different means" (10). Beyond that is the idea of stimulating both the optical and the acoustic attention. In music history, there have been several attempts to combine these two sensory impressions: ballet, dance scenes in operas etc. In his work Prometheus: The Poem of Fire, the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin included a colour organ. Each key had its own colour that he associated therewith. He was influenced by synaesthesia. This was a way to combine sound and image in art music in the beginning of the 20th century. Film music emulates today what programme music has paved the way for. Other key terms for this combination of senses are isomorphy, synchrony and analogy (Neumann-Braun and Schmidt 10).
According to Neumann-Braun and Schmidt there are three types of music videos. Firstly, the performance clips: the protagonist is seen in one or two scenes singing. Apart from performing the song, there is no action. Secondly, the narrative video: as the name tells, the plot of the song is staged around the interpreter. The narrator of the story and the singer are the same. The video just presents the story as a short film without commenting or adding a subtext. Thirdly, the concept video: here, the image and music are connected in an associative-illustrative way. The main concern is to transfer the star's personality. The message is the product, which is the star (Neumann-Braun and Schmidt 13). Nevertheless, there is a difference between music videos and film music. In music videos, the image follows the music whereas film music refers to a certain action in the film. Another aspect of music videos is the staging of the star (Neumann-Braun and Schmidt 20). This is a central element in the music video "Black or White" by Michael Jackson which will be discussed in the following.
For the first time, the music video "Black or White" was simultaneously screened on November 14, 1991 in 500 countries around the world. Immediately afterwards it was cut and mitigated due to controversial sexual scenes (Wenzel 49). Wenzel also divides the video into three parts (47): a surreal frame story and two main parts.
The surreal frame story consists of an American suburban family that sits in the living room consuming standard media products. The son listens to rock music on the radio. Since the volume seems to be too loud for the father, he shouts upstairs to his son to turn the volume down. The son does not follow his father's instructions and so the father steps into the room of his son and repeats his order. By slamming the door, he destroys a poster of Michael Jackson which was fixed at the back of the door. "This begins one of the recurring motifs in the video, that of breaking glass" (Burnett and Deivert 24). Angrily, the son wants to take revenge and pushes two big amplifiers into the living room, plugs in his electric guitar and turns the volume controller to "Are you nuts!?!". The child now plays a power chord according to which the father -along with his armchair- is blown through the roof of the house into the desert. There, he finds himself surrounded by dancers, but also by lions. Here, the second of recurring motifs is introduced, that of cats (Burnett and Deivert 25). This frame story is revisited about ten minutes later at the end of the music video with the Simpson family (Wenzel 47). Bart Simpson sits in front of the TV, his father joins him and tells him, "turn off that noise". Bart refuses and tells his father to "chill out", but Homer takes the remote control and turns off the TV (Burnett and Deivert 32). This mirrors the introductory scene.
The first main part shows similarities to the advertisement of the clothing company Benetton from 1991[1]. This is why Wenzel calls that part "Benetton-Sequence" (47). Michael Jackson dances and is surrounded by dancers that represent different ethnicities and skin colours (African, East-Asian, Indian, Native American and Russian). In the following, the video shows a black and a white baby that sit on a globe, Michael Jackson walking in front on flames, war and military tools as well as a rap scene. The latter is embedded in a "street corner society" (Wenzel 48). But, striking is the alienation. The people that hang around are starred by children. Even the rapper himself is played by a white boy who imitates his black, adult idol with a deep man's voice in the typical Afro-American rap genre (Keazor and Wübbena 228). Subsequently, Michael Jackson stands on the Statue of Liberty surrounded by a fantasy scenery including The Giza Sphinx, Hagia Sophia, Pamukkale, The Parthenon, Taj Mahal, St. Basil's Cathedral, Pyramids of Giza, Golden Gate Bridge, Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. The end of the first main part is a morphing scene in which faces of Asian, European and Latin-American people morph into one another.
The second main part contains only one scene, the so-called "Panther-Sequence". In this part, there is another morphing scene: a panther walks out of the film studios into an industrially looking area where it morphs into Jackson. He is no longer dressed in white, as he is in the "Benetton-Sequence", but in black. It is worth mentioning that there is no music at all during this scene. Jackson just dances and utters sounds and unarticulated screams (Wenzel 48). On the one hand his movements are smooth but on the other hand they are hard and edged as well. Moreover, Jackson insinuates masturbatory movements with enjoyment. Suddenly, the dance develops into a sally of anger. He destroys windows, a car and signs of a hotel. "Many of the glass-breaking sequences in the video are filmed in slow motion, including the originator of the motif, the breaking poster frame" (Burnett and Deivert 31). After this outbreak of violence he morphs back into a panther and walks away. What follows is the scene in the Simpsons' living-room. The video has a total length of 11 minutes.
Filmic specifics
To speak about the filmic specifics of the video "Black or White" means to talk about a complex structure. The director, John Landis, is famous in his field. He was also responsible for the production of the music video "Thriller", so it was conceivable that he exceeded the normal length for music videos (Keazor/Wübbena 226). A masterly move of director John Landis was to incorporate famous actors: Macaulay Culkin and George Wendt. Wendt was part of a series' cast, whereas Culkin became even more famous by playing Kevin in Home Alone. Both actors have been on TV in prominent programs at the beginning of the 1990s. Hereby, they do not only have a recognition value but also a certain function which will be discussed later (Keazor/Wübbena 226). The position of Jackson himself in the video is very obvious: he is the staged object, he is in the centre. The clothes, hairstyle, voice, moves, dancing etc. are characteristic for him (Mattern 154). Nevertheless, his face is rarely shown but never in close-up (Mattern 155).
The camera work is very explicit. Jackson is filmed from different but definite perspectives, in which he is the key element and the crucial point from the viewer's perspective. There are only few camera movements (zoom, panorama) and no extremes (close-up, total view). Most frequently Landis uses medium long short and medium short views. Moreover, the visual and auditive reception alternates, meaning the rhythm of the music fits to the change of scenes. The rap scene that lasts only 20 seconds consists of 28 different views. The camera movement is very fast and nearly elusive (Mattern 155). Most of the camera perspectives follow the phenomenon of observation. Right at the start of the video, there are very quick camera movements from space top down into a house (Wenzel 56). Often, the video works with tunnel views. The viewer is not acting but controlled by the objects themselves. It appears as the objects fly towards the camera perspective and one moment later they are behind it. Wenzel calls it "panoramic vs. analytic-distancing view" (57).
Another parameter that needs to be taken into account is time. Mattern subdivides the first main part into nine scenes. Each scenes does not last any longer that 18-24 seconds. Only scene 1 and 9 exceed this time frame, which also have longer camera moves and more narrative structures (48 and 30 seconds) (Mattern 155). In contrast to the main parts, the frame story takes up a lot of time. The actual song does not start until 1:50 minutes and ends at 06:20. The panther scene follows with a length of more than four minutes.
Furthermore, the video is full of symbolism which is also dramatized in terms of filmic elements. There are many circles in the video that stand for eternity, perfection but also for femininity (Mattern 157). The camera movements are also very circular, as the perspective circles around the two babies sitting on the globe. Another symbol is fire. Jackson walks through flames and thereby represents a brave person resisting the destruction. The camera is outside the fire but lets the viewer feel the heat by directly facing the flames (Mattern 157). Additionally, Jackson forms symbols with his body, for instance a cross which might stand for Jackson as a saviour in relation to Christian symbolism. Hurth analyses that Jackson is even more illustrated as a representative of a new Jesus. There are many visual expressions in his live-shows, such as rites to celebrate his appearance, flies through the air from above or self-dramatisation in terms of messianic self-fashioning to idolise him (Hurth 58). Moreover, he demands love from his disciples, for instance in his song Will you be there where parts of the lyrics ("love me... carry me... lift me up...") are repeated in a "call and response-liturgy" (Mattern 157). The camera moves underline this statement as they only concentrate on Jackson who is dressed in white in the first part. All ethnic dance groups form circles around Jackson. He is the middle of everything. Even at the end of the first part when he stands on the torch of the Statue of Liberty, he can be seen as the "centre of the world" (Mattern 155).
The costs of the production are very high due to one special effect which was quite new at that time. Directly before the "Panther-Sequence" starts, there is a 50 second morphing sequence. This technique became famous since it was used in the 1985 music video "Cry" by Godley & Creme. However, that video used a different technique. There, the different pictures are layered on top of each other and cross-faded, whereas in Jackson's video the faces literally morph into each other due to a modern technology. The innovative technique is not only money but also time consuming. One second of a morphing image needs four to five hours of work (Mattern 152). This morphing, however, implicates the quality and comparability of races. Moreover, the images break down cross-cultural borders and form a message (Keazor/Wübbena 229).
Media-reflective background
The following paragraphs try to explain why Wenzel says that the video "Black and White" can be seen as a "a media-reflexive piece of art" (56). A first criterion is the staging of media reality. For the viewer it is obvious that some scenes are constructed, e.g. scene in the steppe. Everybody can see the stage in the middle of the landscape where Jackson and his fellows dance on. Same is true for the end of the morphing-sequence. Directly after that last picture, the camera zooms out and the viewer sees the film studio with all the involved workers and hears the director say to one of the face models: "Cut, it's perfect, how do you do that?". "This ironic line delivered straight is part of the self-reflexive nature of the production, a meta film or meta video (Burnett and Deivert 28). Reality is modelled in a certain way and everybody is aware of that (Wenzel 57). Wenzel goes on and states that the viewer is in the role of a competent media recipient who knows the genre specific codes, film historical presets and media-technical potential. So, they are able to deal with the images and music in an objective and distanced way (64).
Secondly, one needs to go back to the intrinsic peculiarities of the genre music video. They are essential parts of popular subcultures and reflect the affiliation to an exclusive interpretation world. Here, meaning is created through montage which only members of a certain subculture understand. However, this exclusivity is also reflected (Wulff qtd. in Wenzel 53). The frame story of "Black and White" supports this thesis: the boy imitates the clothing of Jackson, and Jackson imitates the boy's air guitar playing in the video. Thereby, he offers the boy the admittance to a subcultural identity pool (Wenzel 53).
Thirdly, the frame story suggests the victory of children over their complaining parents who do not tolerate them and their medial preferences. This message is close to the "Home Alone" movie where Kevin, also played by Macaulay Culkin, wins against the stupid burglars. Children seem to have more competencies that adults (Mattern 149). The "Black or White"-Video tells us that a better world can only consist of self-confident children who are the basis for the equality of nations and races on earth. Similarly, Jackson promotes this in his song "We Are the World", describing a world that all people belong to, irrespective of race, skin colour, age, sex and appearance (Mattern 150). Beyond that, it is interesting that the advertisement of Benetton also includes children from every part of the world (Mattern 151).
Lastly, music videos have aesthetic expressions and so, they are a piece of art. Into the bargain, "Black or White" offers the viewer a synasethetic experience. Neither the understanding of the lyrics nor of the images are the concern of the video but, the realisation that everything is staged: Jackson himself, the sound, the dancers, the instrumental passages etc. (Mattern 158). Mattern also hints at the short segues between the scenes. The images of the old scene are picked up in the new scene, e.g. the dancing Russians become smaller and smaller and end up being dancers in a small tub that the babies play with (159). Also, there are certain references in "Black or White" that are "of narrow significance to a larger group, but are decodable for viewers with special interest. Burnett and Deivert argue that this is intended (22).
The controversy of the Panther-Sequence
The first screening of the video caused a great controversial debate. Concerning the video, it had consequences: there were two versions on the market afterwards. One version ended after the morphing scene, where the actual song ends. This version was broadcasted in the daily program of music video TV channels due to the sexual insinuations and the aggressive outbreak on Jackson at the end. More and more people did not seem to understand the meaning of the violence. Hence, the second version, called "The Complete Version", contained the panther sequence which had been modified in certain points. Burnett and Deivert explain the differences very explicitly why they will be quoted to a greater extent:
The first change is the appearance of a Nazi swastika on the front left side window of the car, as well as "Hitler lives" on the left back window. We then see that "Nigger go home" is written on the back window, and "no more wetbacks" on the windshield. The words "KKK rules" appear later in a shot on the window of the store. All these windows are smashed. After the final section with Bart Simpson, where the video normally ends with the TV shut off and a snowy screen, the text "prejudice is ignorance" is superimposed on a shot of Michael Jackson with his black hat (33).
Especially "Prejudice is Ignorance" can be seen on a meta level. Not only racism but also every prejudice and the wider focus beyond it are ignorance (Keazor and Wübbena 231). Keazor and Wübbena also see the direct aggression in the second main part as a complement to the first main part where it is restrained. Furthermore, they see the cut-off of the panther-sequence as a "mutilation". (230).
There are different opinions whether the modification of the "Panther-Sequence" was right or not and what the reasons for that were. One the one hand Wenzel claims that it was right to alter the video because the public at large wanted the destruction to make sense. Consequently, the destroyed objects needed to be assembled with racial paroles. Only then can the violence be understandable (Wenzel 65). Keazor and Wübbena have a contrary view. They say the modification was definitely not to legitimate the violence. The makers of the video only wanted to support and elucidate the message. Since the audience did not accept the previously given references, the video had to exaggerate boldly (Keazor and Wübbena 230). Nevertheless, both authors question whether the message is still the same as before the editing; the subtle and less apparent racism is not conspicuous anymore. Burnett and Deivert, however, state correctly that intertextuality is in the eye of the viewer. "Without the interpretation of the viewer, intertextuality ceases to exist" (35). Hence, every viewer needs to find his own way in dealing with the panther sequence and the present violence.
The cross-generational approach
At the first glance, the Simpsons' family and Macaulay Culkin do not share many characteristics. But, they both have a relation to Michael Jackson. Firstly, Culkin is the godfather of Jackson's son Prince Michael Jr. (Mattern 146). Secondly, Jackson was a great supporter of "The Simpsons". In 1991, he worked as the voice actor for a Jackson double which is a very self-ironic way of commenting on being stereotyped. But these two facts do not only explain why John Landis included both Culkin and the Simpsons in the music video of "Black or White".
At the end of the "Panther-Sequence", the viewer gets the impression as if the video is over now. However, the viewer needs to step back even one more level. Not the viewer, but Bart Simpson watches the music video in the first place. The viewer only watches Bart watching the video (Keazor and Wübbena 230). Symmetrically to the poster in the first frame story, Bart wears a t-shirt with the label "Michael Jackson". Both scenes focus on the abolition of colour bar and racism (Keazor and Wübbena 231). The connection to the first frame story with Culkin is evident in the following. Only when the Simpsons' scene appears, some questions concerning the Culkin scene are answered. They both work as a pendant. The characters in the first frame story seem to be cartoon-like figures that are transferred into realistic film version. The revenge of the boy played by Culkin is totally inordinate and more likely to be seen in a cartoon sequence. Nonetheless, the Simpsons' scene is rather untypical and tame for the series itself. Normally, Homer chokes his son in such situations where he refuses to follow his father's order (Keazor and Wübbena 244).
There are more parallelisms between the two frame stories. Keazor and Wübbena found out that the nose dive of the camera at the very beginning of "Black or White" is similar to the camera perspective in the opener of the Simpsons. There, one can see clouds at first, then Springfield. The camera rushes through the streets into the school where Bart needs to do an extra exercise. Before the boy in the first frame story plays his power chord on the guitar he says to his father, "Eat this!" This is also parallel to Bart's favourite saying "Eat my shorts!" (231).
Macaulay Culkin's and George Wendt's as well as Homer and Bart Simpson's confrontation represent the extreme forms of hope and frustration that Jacksons formulates in his song. John Landis chose actors from adult series, children's movies and cartoon series to attract young and old viewers. Thereby, he facilitates the wish of a cross-generational audience. Maybe there is also another hope articulated in between the lines, namely that generations explain the parts of the video to each other while watching it together.
It's hardly surprising that "Black or White" was first published immediately following an episode of "The Simpsons".

Q: how to move messages from one Gmail account to another I would like to create a backup of a Gmail account into another Gmail account. There could be many reasons why would someone like to do this, but in my case my Gmail account got full but instead of deleting messages would like to archive them in another account.
I was thinking about using POP3 / all / fetch from another account, but I would like to keep the folder structure and POP3 destroys it.
As far as I know IMAP would be the best way to keep the folder structure, but when I tried it with Thunderbird, it could not reliable copy messages from one IMAP to another IMAP.
Are there any script or software (preferably running on Windows, but I can run Virtualbox), what would mirror an IMAP account to another one reliably?

A: Gmail itself can do that, as in associating an account with another and automatically grabbing the emails from one account to the other.
Go to 'Mail Settings' --> 'Accounts and Import' tab. You should see:

Import mail and contacts: Import from Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL or other webmail or POP3 accounts.

which does that exactly. You can choose whether to leave the emails on the other account or not. And I think that's all you need.
The corresponding gmail help page

So, using a Google Apps account won't do that. What you can do is backup your mails locally somewhere and upload/restore them to the new account later.
I think Gmail backup fits you. Please take a look at its features and notice its flaws(ie can't handle labels that use characters other than [a-zA-Z0-9]) and also see this question related to having a Google Apps account.

Other than that, there is Gmail keeper that was made for Google Apps email users, as the site states. You may want to take a look at that.

Baez hits career homer No. 100 as Cubs rally past Mets
wsau June 24, 2019, 1:27 AM UTC
On a day for noteworthy home runs, Javier Baez made the 100th of his career one to savor, rallying the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory on Sunday over the visiting New York Mets. Baez's three-run shot in the eighth inning off Mets right-hander Seth Lugo helped prevent Chicago's first three-game losing streak at home this season. It was just the second home run for the Cubs in a four-game series against the Mets, while New York hit nine. The Mets' Pete Alonso also went deep, setting the club record for rookie home runs. A day after tying Darryl Strawberry's Mets rookie mark for homers, set in 1983, Alonso topped it Sunday with his 27th of the season, a game-tying shot to center field against Cubs

The following is a brief summation of the sounds and spirit of The Spring Standards. Born and bred in the Delaware Valley, this trio of songsters now call Brooklyn, New York their home, like much of their musical brethren. Comprised of a lass named Heather and two boys named James, the songs they Smith will Robb your heart, that much is Cleare. Brought up on the music of their elders, they drew much of their inspiration from those times, learning the power of song from artists you all know, The Beatles, James Taylor, Crosby, Stills and the other one.
Longtime friends and cohorts, by the time any of us had heard of them, they'd been working on their craft and crafting their works for many years under many names, with their passion for vocal harmony always in their foremost thoughts. It's fast upon a first listen to feel the power of their pipes, the James boys being blessed with throats of velvet, and Heather with the wind of a foghorn. Sure, they've got more than enough facilities for plucking strings and tapping keys, but they never did have much luck finding a drummer. No matter. One can stomp a floor cannon, the other on the sock cymbals, and with their one free hand, they can wallop a snare drum with the best of 'em. Problem solved, and we wouldn't know the difference.


This coming September, I've been invited to have a exhibition of my work titled "Threads of Thought" at the 21st Carrefour Européen du Patchwork / European Patchwork Meeting, a quilt festival that spans 4 villages of the Val d'Argent and draws 22,000 visitors from France and around the world. The festival will display 1200 to 1500 textile artworks, both traditional and contemporary.
Rhinetex, one of the largest wholesale supplier of patchwork and quilting suppliers in Europe, has generously offered to sponsor my exhibition!

Since I did a favorites post every single month of 2018, I thought it would be fun and go back through those posts and pick one from each month that I'm still in love with!
Mike and I started watching The Good Place on our honeymoon. We got through all of season one and caught up on season two during the week we were in Seattle. That's how good this show is! I can't say much because it will spoil the show but I love how they basically changed the show's premise for season two and how well it works. Plus the cast is amazing. This show is a must watch if you love a good laugh.
I love this series, I read the first book in November 2017 and was hooked. They are quick reads (less than 200 pages) but a really interesting take on fantasy. I loved how Seanan created the idea of how these different worlds are connected to our own and what happens to the children who stumble through the doorways into them. I finished the third book in February 2018 and now I'm just waiting for the fourth book to come out this month!
I've been listening to the BibRave podcast since the summer of 2017 and it's a great podcast. Tons of information about running and lots of fun topics. I've even re-listened to a couple of the podcasts because of the great information.
Besides running (of course!) this has been my favorite form of cardio. It's been a while since I've taken a group fitness class but I'm loving my Monday spin class. It's a great way to get my heart rate up without the impact of running. Plus I can easily zone out and not worry about keeping track of where I am.
My nails have been growing out amazingly (and not breaking) so I was painting them more often than not in 2018. It's just a fun little bit of self-care I can do that doesn't cost a ton of money or time.
Mike, Vinnie and I had so much fun hiking on our June camping trip and also went out to Afton for a family hike. We can't wait for spring to come so we can get out on some more hikes! Especially now that we have a Minnesota State Park sticker for the next year and there are so many great hikes within a couple hours of driving.
I first heard about Ologies when Allie Ward started being on Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend. And it still took about a month for me to start listening to Ologies; a choice that I now regret because I love the show! It's a great mixture of science and comedy as Allie interviews different people about their field of studies. I've never been so interested to learn about slugs as when I saw it was the topic of an episode.
I don't read a ton of urban fantasy but when I saw this in the RBDigital audiobook app, I decided to give it a shot. I loved it and I've almost finished books two and three in August! I'm getting the next book soon to read, I had to request it via interlibrary loan since my library doesn't have it at all.

Aim is to lead Delhi Capitals to IPL title: Rishabh Pant
New Delhi: Delhi Capitals Captain Rishabh Pant, says his aim is to lead his side to win the IPL title this season
"We haven't won a title yet and I will try my level best to get a title this year. We've been playing nicely as a team from last two-three years and our preparations are going on well." he said
"Everyone looks in great frame of mind. Everyone is giving their 100 percent and is happy in the team environment, and that's what you want as a Captain," Pant was quoted as saying in a media release.
The 23-year-old wicket keeper-batsman who has scored 2,079 runs in 68 IPL matches, said that he is excited to lead the Delhi Capitals in this year and looking forward to making the most of the opportunity.
Pant acknowledged the influence of Head Coach Ricky Ponting on the team saying " He(Ricky) has been so amazing for us in the last two-three years.
He brings energy to the team and as a player when you see your coach and you're thinking this is the man from whom you can learn a lot, then nothing is better than that.
" Hopefully, we will cross the line this year, with the help of Ricky and the whole team."
Pant said he is really looking forward to going toe-to-toe against MS Dhoni in Delhi Capitals' first encounter against Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on 10 April .
"My first match as Captain will be against Mahi bhai. It will be a good experience for me as I have learned a lot from him. I have my own experience as a player as well.
I'll apply my own experience and the learnings from Dhoni, and try to do something different against CSK," Pant added

Dahiya confident of his team's continuing winning ways in IPL
October 11, 2020 Newsroom24x7 Network	Leave a comment
Vijay Dahiya
New Delhi: Delhi Capitals Head Scout Vijay Dahiya on Saturday exuded confidence of his team continuing with their winning ways as they take on four time champion Mumbai Indian in their seventh match of the IPL on Sunday in Abu Dhabi.
Talking to Delhi Capitals media cell in Dubai ,Dahiya said. "I think it's going to be a tough game because we are playing back to back matches, and the last two have been the kind of games that have taken a lot out of us.
"If you look, the numbers don't really suggest the margin, but it has taken a lot out of the players mentally and physically. Mumbai is a top-class side, there's no doubt about that. They have won the championship many times, so I'm expecting a good game against them and that's what you want in this kind of competition – to play against the best."
"I won't be predicting anything at this point, but I know that if we play to our strengths, we are good enough to challenge or beat anyone and that's what the whole idea is about – play to your strengths, the opposition will keep changing.
"We do respect whoever we meet in this tournament, but yes, more and more emphasis is on ourselves, and to just execute whatever we are practicing in the nets and planning in our meetings. If we can do that, we will get the desired results," he added.
Asked about the demands of playing back-to-back matches, Delhi Capitals media release quoted Dahiya as saying "I guess there's no doubt about back-to-back matches proving to be challenging. Barring Dubai, the travel for us is over two hours for each match, and that's the main challenge you have here".
Otherwise, when you are playing back home in India, there's more air-time, and you end up getting up early and then traveling to another city. So I think it's comparatively less taxing on your body here, and doesn't push you to the limits compared to what happens when you play in India."
"But yes, it is still demanding because we have different grounds, different mindsets, different surfaces and tough conditions. However, I believe our team is up for any kind of challenges thrown at them," he admitted.
Talking about team's performance against Rajasthan, Dahiya said, "It was a team game played by the individuals – you play your role, you play your part or sometimes you do something extraordinary, and this is the whole crux of this team.
This is what team is all about, that's what our boys are doing. I mean we are not dependent on one person, every game you see a different individual steps up, raises his hand and delivers for the team and that's what the whole quality of any team." HSB

Delhi Capitals suffer a jolt as spinner Amit Mishra is ruled out of IPL due to injury
October 5, 2020 Newsroom24x7 Network	Leave a comment
New Delhi: Delhi Capitals' IPL campaign suffered a jolt with its experienced leg-spinner Amit Mishra being ruled out for the rest of the season due to an injury to his bowling hand.
According to Delhi Capitals's press release, the 37-year old spinner, who has played in all 13 seasons and has a tally of 160 wickets, the second highest in league history, sustained a flexor tendon injury to the right finger of his right hand while attempting to take a return catch of Kolkata Knight Riders' Nitish Rana on Saturday.
Mishra, who has three hat-tricks in IPL, has played three games this season, picking up three wickets. He could bowl just two overs in the game against KKR due to the injury.
The spinner will now consult with a specialist over the next few days to determine the most appropriate course of management for this unfortunate injury.

Delhi Capitals has enough firepower to be title contender this time: All-rounder Axar Patel
September 15, 2020 Newsroom24x7 Network	Leave a comment
New Delhi: All-rounder Axar Patel believes that Delhi Capitals has enough firepower to be a serious contender for the title in the 13th Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) commencing in UAE from 19 September.
Talking to Delhi Capitals media cell in Dubai, the 26-year old all-rounder said the presence of seasoned campaigners like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan will provide the team stability and the experience to be a title contender.
"With the new changes, I think the squad looks good. With fast bowlers, spinners and all-rounders, we have covered all the bases and I think we can become champions this time. Everyone looks positive in the nets and we all are in good shape." he said
The spinner, slowly adapting to the new normal of cricket, talked about the challenges of the new rules in the game and the IPL bio-bubble,
"Obviously, with no crowd, we'll feel empty. Then, the saliva ban is going to make a big difference for the bowlers. During initial practice sessions, I was being conscious of not using saliva or sweat on the ball. So, these are the challenges which we will have to be wary of" .
"Nevertheless, the positive thing is that at least we will have action-packed cricket after a long time, which is a good thing for not only us, but also for India. Everyone will enjoy the game with a different frame of mind which will be really exciting." he opined
"We are feeling a little bad that we can't enjoy the matches with our friends. After every two days, tests are being conducted. We can't go out anywhere and we can't sit for more than 15 minutes in anyone's room, so these things are challenging, but slowly we are getting used to it." Delhi Capitals media release from Dubai quoted Axar Patel as saying.
About the match against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday, he said, "First of all, it feels really good to be back playing on the ground after being off from cricket for a long time due to lockdown.
"Since we are in the tournament week, it feels really good and the boys are in a positive mind frame. I feel I am practicing with a positive mindset. I have ticked all the boxes in bowling, batting and fielding, so I think I have prepared well enough." He added.

Young, PA (2008). The Culture Based Model: A framework for designers and visual ID languages. In L.Botturi & T. Stubbs (Eds.), Handbook of visual languages for instructional design: Theories and practices (pp.52-75). Hershey, PA: IGI Global.
Young reiterates her culture based model (OGoBiblios 47) and provides some guidance for its application in the Visual ID languages context. In this article, she more specifically articulates how her historical and linguistic analysis of instructional design products designed by and for African-Americans provided an empirical basis for her culture based model: "a treasure of themes and concepts related to culture were found in these materials and classified as cultural remnants… The cultural remnants found in these instructional products were generalized to meet the design needs of cross cultural audiences and this translation resulted in [the culture based model] (p.59). As part of the ID-TABLET framework, she lists 25 elements that "can be used to understand, define or evaluate the target audience" in three categories: anthropology of culture, psychology of culture and science of culture (p.64).

President-elect Donald Trump took aim Monday morning at the F-35 program, a fleet of fighter jets produced by Lockheed Martin that sustains thousands of jobs in the Fort Worth area.
"The F-35 program and cost is out of control," Trump tweeted. "Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th."
Within the first couple of hours of the market opening Monday, Lockheed Martin's stock had fallen by more than 4 percent. The F-35 program provides about 38,900 direct and indirect jobs in Texas and has a $3.4 billion economic impact on the state.

The Center for Reproductive Rights sued the state Monday over Texas' rules requiring health care facilities to bury or cremate fetal remains.
Gov. Greg Abbott, who directed the state health agency to propose the rules, said they are meant to uphold the dignity of the unborn fetus instead of treating it as medical waste. Opponents claim the rules attempt to attribute "personhood" to a fetus and could limit access for women seeking an abortion.
Dallas Animal Services failed to adequately handle drugs, inspect and secure its shelter and respond to dangerous animals in recent years, according to a new city audit.
Animal Commission Chairman Peter Brodsky said that the report bolstered his belief that the department was mismanaged and shows that the city made the right decision in recently replacing senior management.

Luxury department store Forty Five Ten held a lavish gala on Friday night to celebrate the opening of its new downtown location. Attendees included model Brooklyn Decker, actress China Chow, burlesque star Dita von Teese and chef Thomas Keller.
The department store represents a huge jolt of energy for the early stages of a downtown renaissance, reporter Maria Halkias writes. It's another layer to the changes brought about by developer Tim Headington, who knew to build a luxury hotel a block from the iconic Adolphus, and Dallas' Neiman Marcus, which had the patience and strength to alone anchor a lifeless downtown for decades.
