Brooklyn Museum debuts immersive retrospective of French artist JR
An urban artist whose snapshots of anonymous individuals have made him a global celebrity, French photographer JR presents a retrospective of his grand vision on Friday in New York, his first major show in North America.
The selection of his pieces spanning two decades, by no means encompasses the entirety of his vast oeuvre — but it offers an invaluable insight into his unique perspective on the impermanent, transitory nature of existence.
"From the beginning, as someone who works in the ephemeral, outside, I've always tried to document in order to preserve a trace," JR said ahead of the launch of "JR: Chronicles," on display at the Brooklyn Museum for the next seven months.
The exhibition showcases some of his black-and-white photographs alongside colour images of the photos in-situ, being enjoyed by the public on the streets.
"These traces, gradually, have become sometimes more interesting than the outdoor projects because they show how people have reacted to the installations," JR said.
"It gives the temperature of a place, almost like a sociological study of different contexts in which I can install these works."
An enigmatic master of spectacle whose work delights Instagram, JR demonstrates in his retrospective that he is an artist with genuine depth beneath the shiny surfaces.
From photos plastered on walls around Paris to an enormous fresco representing more than 1,000 New Yorkers, "all of these projects are linked to each other," said the artist, sporting his signature hat and black sunglasses.
"The best thing about my street art is that it encourages people to meet," added the 36-year-old, who has been working at his craft for 20 years.
Since the beginning of his career, when he photographed youths in the tough Parisian suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, JR has been inclined to remain in the shadows, allowing his subjects the limelight that many artists crave for themselves.
In projects such as "Women are Heroes," "The Wrinkles of the City" and "Inside Out," he showcases "the invisible" — often giving voice to the voiceless, and shining a light on those who walk through life largely unnoticed.
'Sociological study' –
"I've been living in New York for nine years and presenting my work for the first time like this is an incredible blessing," he said.
The show, which bears a similarity to a recent exhibit at Paris's Maison Europeenne de la Photographie, belies the wider public's perception of JR's oeuvre.
In addition to photography it features videos, montages and animations, and visitors can download a smartphone app with video explanations of his projects.
"We decided to create an exhibition that focuses very specifically on his collaborations with communities and picturing communities," said Drew Sawyer, who curated the show with Sharon Matt Atkins.
"By focusing on his community collaborations, it really gets that point across."
JR's flirtation with different media has made it possible to take his street art — he recently showed a giant photo of a child looking over a wall at the US-Mexican border — into museums and galleries.
From Rio to the Louvre, JR thinks big, with concepts that take considerable preparation.
Though he's far from his days as a teenage graffiti artist, the multimedia boundary-pusher says the way he works "hasn't really changed."
JR has already started to work on other projects, including one in an American prison that came together just a few days ago.
He says a frenetic workflow, made possible by efficient printmaking techniques and relying on a small team, is the reason he has been so prolific for so long.
"It permits me to continue to work like I'm 16 years old," he said. "To decide on a whim to go work on one street or another." — AFP

investigative media, is more sinister than one would expect. Through direct expressions of Masters' concern we see how the public is stimulated and deluded by masses of entertainment and propaganda, the cry for bad news is so inert in our society, that the concept of Masters exposition stories would not mediate to the mass media.
The level of manipulation of the news is alarming when brought to our attention, Masters goes on further to explore why this news is manipulated, to our ill-surprise, it is manipulated for the very people who watch it, the public. The escalating sensationalism and violence that the media embellishes to is what Masters argues to be, what the public want, "the massage is hard to avoid: [the public] want blood, their own blood". This is one of his major concerns, as a journalist, he wants to illuminate the factors that establish modern journalism, the condescending truths and untruths that deliver entertainment over morals.
Chris Master incorporates the 'duty of journalists [as] to reshape information and get that information to the public', while this is important and periodically essential, it is his broad knowledge tells us that 'the best journalism is the journalism to challenge the orthodox, respectfully challenge the public opinion and occasionally deliver bad news'(pg 5). While this is almost evident in Masters' book, but the fact he did not deliver these stories that seem perfectly fit for 'today's journalism' he attains a kind of benevolence, and consideration for his subjects. As seen in his anonymity, which shows the reader how it is not worth the social and media torment of the journalistic process. Quite powerfully he delivers the calming words that many of us already know, perhaps by our own nature or experience: 'In order for there to be good journalism, journalists need to find a balance between what they want to present and what the public wants'.
Masters derived this perhaps in light of his prior work on Four Corners, he almost uses this as an epitome of good journalism, not only does he relate, but as those of us who have seen the program, would understand the link he makes to a good journalist in pursuit of truth in a story, however contrary to the subject and quite often against public orthodox. It is this line of journalism that Masters incorporates to establish as the 'better journalism', something I quite frankly see as self-lifting response to his own tainted standard, and I use the word tainted in response to his failure in the eyes for the public as a diminishing journalist who no longer reports to the masses. This can be seen as a criticism of society that is constantly filtering out 'good journalist', hoverer I agree more thoroughly about the ignorance of the public being important, and that some news 'should not be told'.
Continuing from my point of Masters self elevating writing style, which is neither totally good nor bad, this is because he conveys himself as an educated and experienced, which undoubtedly stimulates the need and value of knowledge which I can not but help agree. This 'collective wisdom' that is investigative journalism differs from simple reporting of facts, it is the pursuit of truth. This is one of his 'journalistic ethics' and one he establishes as a valued on for a good journalist. He does this through his expository conventions, his selection of detail, specifically in his anonymity of his subjects, whether individuals or industries. This is effectively protecting both his source form harm and retaliation, while the 'cover is blown' on the issue. One such reason, perhaps a more experienced choice, is his own protection from defamation and litigation, which we can see form his context of many court cases on the issue, can quite sufficiently 'break' you if your facts are not correct.

Audi A6 50 TFSI e 17.9kWh Quattro Sport 4dr S Tronic Review
Enquire with a dealer on the A6 today
The A6 is quiet, spacious and an impressive luxury car all round, and will also cost you far less than most rivals. Granted, it's not the most enjoyable car in the class to drive, but it's up there with the most comfortable, which is arguably more important.
Entry-level Sport trim is all you really need, with electric front seats, four-way lumbar adjustment, LED headlights, 18in alloy wheels, leather seat trim, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, ambient LED interior lighting and keyless start. The standard infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat-nav, Bluetooth, a DAB radio, an 10.1in touchscreen and a punchy 10-speaker stereo.
This plug-in hybrid version of the A6 makes a lot of sense as a company car, thanks to its tiny official CO2 emissions. What's more, it can travel for up to 34 miles on fully electric power, and when the petrol engine is needed, it springs into life quite quickly and very smoothly to give 0-62mph in 6.2sec. The brakes are more precise than those of many plug-in hybrids, too, but you will need to plug the car in frequently to get anywhere near its official fuel economy.

It is nothing but coziness that every home owner expects from their house. It is the thing defines the harmony of the family members living inside. In this case, living in countryside must be an optional choice, but it is preferable for people loving serenity. Once you are interested to stay in the suburb, then a luxury country house with a warm and cozy interior is ready to be selected.
A heartbreaking house nests on the sloping snowy hill covered with pure white snow on the roof. It looks great even to lush upon snowy land with the golden lighting system. Facing rare pine trees in the front side makes the outlook fresh. Designed with wood trim for the wall and also some parts of stone foundation makes the interior bit warmer to defend from the cold attack from outside.
It is a quite large house with snowy mountains view in the backyard. Everyday ice-skating on the yard is possible to stimulate your adrenaline. Double large log pillars in the front side act as the entrance gate leading to the wooden door.
To enjoy the peak of a mountain covered with white snow, it is the foyer living space takes part. White sofa design framed with black metal material elegantly stands facing the small rectangle coffee table before giant stone fireplace mantel. Anyway, the pine trees frame the mountainous view perfectly. Capturing every moment in the warm living space is great with the giant log pillars.
Thanks to the large glass window to give free natural light during the day. Double height ceiling design fills the interior greatly with awesome loft idea. Rustic kitchen with stony cabinet looks gorgeous and supportable to stand in the polar side of the earth. The combination of stone and wooden material in this house is outrageously wonderful. If the lower side looks perfect in rustic style, the loft exhibits bit luxurious outlook. Awesome!


Standard and Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its long-term counterparty credit rating on the Tunisian bank, Banque Tuniso-Koweitienne de Developpement (BTKD) to 'BB' from 'BB+'. The outlook is stable.
The rating action reflects the impact on BTKD's business and financial profiles of its planned expansion into the competitive field of commercial banking. It also reflects the difficult situation experienced by the Tunisian tourism sector, which represents a large portion of BTKD's loan portfolio.
The rating remains supported by the joint ownership of the bank by the Republic of Tunisia (foreign currency rating: BBB/Stable/A-3) and the State of Kuwait (foreign currency rating: A+/Stable/A-1+) and expected forthcoming shareholder support. It also reflects BTKD's high level of capital and capable management. With an adjusted equity to risk-weighted assets of 38% at year-end 2002, BTKD's capitalisation is considered adequate in light of its risk profile and its concentrated portfolio.
A modest player in the Tunisian banking market with an estimated market share of about 2%, BTKD is transforming itself into a full-fledged bank from a specialised development bank in order to comply with the new regulation that ended the distinction between commercial banks and development banks in Tunisia . "The success of this challenging strategy in an increasingly competitive banking market is uncertain," says Standard & Poor's credit analyst Taos Fudji. The absence of retail funding puts BTKD at a disadvantage to commercial banks, and the pressure on interest spreads from the disappearance of the protective regulatory environment and intensifying competition have structurally reduced BTKD's profitability.
"While the difficulties of the Tunisian tourism industry are expected to weigh on BTKD's performance in the near future, profitability is expected to stabilize in the medium term, as the bank benefits from an improving macro-economic environment and from the gradual growth of its commercial banking activities," adds Fudji.

Facts about Yoda
What species is Yoda and other questions
When people generally think who is the coolest person in the Star Wars universe they often think of Han chilling out with Greedo or Lando dealing with some immense stress when he realises the shield is still up but I'm pretty sure a lot of fans think master Yoda is one of the coolest characters in the films.
He was pretty chilled out when he took on Count Dooku. He wasn't too phased as he took on Darth Sidius and he was fairly nonchalant when he realised Anakin had turned.
Of course that's arguable...
We first met the green goblin in Empire as a funny little dude trying to steal Luke Skywalker's lunch only to reveal himself as the fabled Yoda. The Yoda, it turns out, who was one of the greatest Jedi to have ever lived and ultimately perhaps one of the few Jedi to actually alter the course of the history of the realm he lived.
While it might be hard to unlearn what you may have leaned about Yoda, here's some interesting facts and stories about his development, his place in the Star Wars canon and some of his most memorable quotes.
Puppeteer and film director Frank Oz is the voice for the most famous little green guy in cinema history.
Famously Oz also the voice of the Muppet's Miss Piggy, It was because of Oz's talents that he developed with Jim Henson that saw him get the call up.
A very early draft of the script of Empire saw suggested that Luke Skywalker would travel to the 'Bog' Planet where he would encounter a frog-like Jedi named Minch, who teaches him the ways of the force. That's right, Yoda was frog-like and was going to be called Minch!
Yoda's species has never been mentioned. In official records he is simply an 'unknown species'.
Yoda died when he was 900 years old having lived a long life of training many Jedi, including most of the ones found in all the films at one stage or another.
The little master is 66 cm tall. As a comparison, R2D2 stands taller at 96 cm!
For the prequel Attack of the Clones, Yoda was performed by Oz.The next two prequels featured a CGI Yoda and the DVD release of Clones saw a CGI version replace the puppet.
While many think Yoda had Darth Sidious beaten in his famous duel in Revenge of the Sith, it was actually Mace Windu, a former student of Yoda who firmly beat the Sith Lord (of course Anakin came in and ruined it all..)
Oz returned for The Last Jedi to bring back the character. On screen Yoda was a mix of CGA and puppetry.
When Yoda puts his hand on his head in Revenge of the Sith, this is a nod to famed director, and major influence on George Lucas, Akira Kurosawa.
Yoda is famous for his phrasing and his zen like quotes. Here's a selection of the best:
Do or do not. There is no try.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hmmm?
There is another...

"Through the fear of being real, through the fear of being really you…" Tones on Tail – Go!
When I was in college (the first time around, in the 90's) I spent most of my time doing only a few things. Singing, drinking coffee, working a crap job or two in the customer service industry, and going to bars. Since then, not much has changed, but the frequency at which I do these things has. I am a once every couple weeks bar attendee now. My 38 year old body cannot handle the drinking that my 20 year old body could. It takes me several days to recover from a really crazy night, and now that I have more important goals, it depresses me to no end when I am distracted from work because of this kind of stupid sickness. That is why last night was such a big deal.
The club was packed. Wall to wall people after only a short time open and they mostly stuck it out until the end. I knew it would be well attended, but I had no idea it would be THIS full. This, was the Continental Reunion at the Town Ballroom. Ides of March be damned, we came to party! It struck me instantly upon walking in, as "Head Like A Hole" blared from the room that was deemed "upstairs" that this would be a great night. If all the people that were in attendance at this reunion were all at the continental together, at the same time, Jessie would have had to start making people wait in a rope line. Not even half of the people there would have fit inside the continental. Although it was good to have such a large venue to hold the event, one always wishes they could be in the original building. Alas, the building is gone, but the memories live on.
The screens were playing videos with neon swooshes over them, just like they used to. After spending a bit of time dancing in the "upstairs" room (Nitzer Ebb, Ministry, Sisters of Mercy) we made our way back through the crowd to the concert venue. As we walked through the doors and up the small staircase the first sight was the sign from the stage. Bud must have kept it and there it was in all it's glory – THE CONTINENTAL – we are back.
The Continental was not just a bar and we honestly do not need the space to bring the scene back to life. Yes, the place itself is missed, but the memories and the people that still persist are all we need to have a proper Continental in 2013. Last night was proof. The smell of clove cigarettes, incense, sweat, and pizza that hit you when you walk through the doors was EXACTLY the same as 1995 or 1985. The people dancing with themselves on the dance floor (even without mirrors and lighted ceiling) paint a picture of the original place. The music blaring from the speakers in all the areas of the club, bring back a flood of late nights spent traipsing up and down the staircase, from the concert downstairs and the favourite bartender to the dance floor upstairs with the excellent dj to the elevated patio that could disassemble and send us plunging to our deaths at any moment. The music persists. The senses take in all that was and still is, through the people that lived it and continue on.
If we could do this every year, it would do us all good. The generations that attended the Continental are now ranging in age from late 30's to early 60's (with a sprinkling of younger and older for good measure) and we cannot keep up the outings to a club the way we used to. Sure, maybe happy hour on Fridays, but 4 or 5 nights a week until 4am? Not gonna happen. But one weekend in March every year, that is totally doable. One weekend to bring back the music, the dancing, the drinking, the community. In the end that is what it is really all about. Community. We still have it, we just do not have a space like the Continental to gather. Technology has changed the ways in which we interact and that is why Generation x was the last to really enjoy venues like the Continental. We still liked to gather and interact with each other in the real world. That meant everything to us. To feel a connection with another person, or with a song, or with a place. Not just a computer.
Don't get me wrong – I love the internet as much as anyone, maybe even more, but I also love to gather in public with other humans. Sounds trivial, but true. To be in public, having a discourse, sharing a meal, sharing a glass of wine, sharing our lives – this is what gathering is about. Chatting online and on mobile phones is convenient, but nothing replaces in person communication. Nothing replaces dancing on a floor that is jam packed. Nothing replaces that feeling of oneness when everyone moves in unison to that one specific part of the song – "so what!". Nothing replaces screaming the lyrics out at the top of your lungs with every other person around you. Nothing replaces interaction, reaction. Nothing. And it never will. So – where is the next Continental? Where is that place that those of us who are not that young anymore can gather to really feel alive and as one? I don't have an answer for you now, but I hope to find it soon. Otherwise, the writer and I might be hightailing it out of Buffalo once we get our ultimate degrees. Move to a place that feels like we can be a part of the community. We want for that place to be Buffalo and after last night there is a glimmer of hope. Keep the dream alive.

Files had to be collected by several custodians and quickly transferred to computers that the review team would use.
There were approximately $4 billion USD in claims against the law firm's client, a financial services firm. Loss of the case could negatively impact the potential future sale of the financial services firm. In addition, the law firm faced extremely tight deadlines and penalties if it failed to complete the review on time.
In litigation regarding a complex business transaction matter, the client sought to show evidence of fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. The case involved the discovery of documents held by more than 150 custodians in multiple countries.
The client, a bank, needed approximately 500,000 mortgage files reviewed within a 10-week time frame in preparation for foreclosure filings. If not completed on time, the bank would have been noncompliant with government regulations and incurred sanctions from the US federal agency.
The law firm's client faced potential sanctions for data loss in relation to legal hold demands in the litigation. To avoid sanctions, the law firm needed to assist its client in data recovery and defense of its data storage practices.
Pretrial preparation involved reviewing a large number of electronic and print documents. The law firm had already hired a third party to handle document collection and processing, but the scope and complexity of the project required a team of industry experts to conduct the actual review.
Because the law firm's client was planning to merge with a major competitor, the matter had to be resolved quickly. The client could not staff the number of lawyers necessary to complete the document review on time.
The client needed to complete a first-pass review of 200,000 documents within a four-to-six-week window.

"To get success in exams and tests people believe that a student must possess sharp mind. Although it is true but it is not entirely true since along with the student, the coach or the instructor must also be well qualified and educated. I feel blessed that I was acquainted with this Killexams.com where I met such great educators who taught me how to clear my LSAT admission test and got me through them with a breeze. I thank them with the bottom of my heart."
"One of most complicated task is to choose best study material for certification exam. I never had enough faith in myself and therefore thought I wouldnt get into my favorite university since I didnt have enough things to study from. This killexams.com came into the picture and my perspective changed. I was able to get fully prepared and I nailed my test with their help. Thank you."
This is my first time that I took this service. I feel very confident in Java Beans Project. I prepare my java using questions and answers with test engine softare by killexams.com team.
"me passed this exam with killexams question set. i did not having much time to prepare, I purchased this questions answers and test engine, and this was the best professional decision I ever made. I got through the exam easily, even though its not an easy one. Yet this included all recent questions, and I got many of them on the exam, and was able to figure out the rest, based on my experience. I guess it was as close to a no-brainer as an IT exam can get. So yes, killexams is just as good as they say it is. "
"Joining killexams.com felt like getting the greatest adventure of my life. I was so excited because I knew that now I would be able to pass my C_TSCM52_66 exam and will be the first in my organization that has this qualification. I was right and using the online resources over here I actually passed my test and was able to make everyone proud. It was a happy feeling and I recommend that any other student who wants to feel like Im feeling must give this killexams.com a fair chance."
"It is not the first time I am using killexams, I have tried their materials for a few vendors examinations, and havent failed once. I fully rely on this preparation. This time, I also had some technical problems with my computer, so I had to contact their customer support to double check something. Theyve been great and have helped me sort things out, although the problem was on my end, not their software."

Viivi Luik (* 6. November 1946 im Dorf Tänassilma, Gemeinde Viiratsi/Kreis Viljandi) ist eine estnische Schriftstellerin und Lyrikerin.

Ausbildung
Viivi Luik wurde in eine bäuerliche Familie geboren. Sie besuchte die Grundschule in Tänassilma, die Mittelstufe in Kalme (Gemeinde Rõngu) und das Gymnasium in Tallinn. Ab 1965 war sie in Tallinn als Bibliothekarin und Archivarin tätig. Seit 1967 lebt sie dort, unterbrochen von längeren Auslandsaufenthalten (Finnland, Deutschland, Lettland, Schweden), als freiberufliche Schriftstellerin.

Lyrik
Bereits 1962 hatte Viivi Luik erste Gedichte veröffentlicht. 1965 folgte ihr erstes Buch. Bis zu ihrem 40. Geburtstag hat sie etwa 400 Gedichte verfasst. Ihre Romane befassen sich mit den Zuständen und Stimmungen während der Sowjetzeit. Seit 1967 war sie als freie Schriftstellerin tätig, die besonders in den 1990er Jahren verschiedene Stipendien wahrnahm. Heute gehört Viivi Luik zu den bedeutendsten und international bekanntesten estnischen Lyrikerinnen der Gegenwart. Immer wieder geht es in ihrem Werk um soziale Spannungen und fragile zwischenmenschliche Netze. Die Verbindung zum ländlichen Estland ist stets präsent.

1988 wurde ihr der Juhan Liiv-Lyrikpreis verliehen. 1992 erhielt sie den Kulturpreis des estnischen Staates.

Prosa
Im Frühjahr 1985 erschien für viele überraschend ihr Romandebüt Seitsmes rahukevad (deutsch Der siebte Friedensfrühling, 1991), in dem in eindringlicher Sprache eine Kindheit im Stalinismus beschrieben wird. Der Roman wurde in über zehn Sprachen übersetzt und machte die Autorin auch außerhalb Estlands bekannt. Sechs Jahre später legte Viivi Luik ihren zweiten Roman vor, Ajaloo ilu (deutsch Die Schönheit der Geschichte, 1995). Der Roman behandelt das Jahr 1968 und die Erfahrungen junger estnischer Intellektueller vor dem Hintergrund der Hippiebewegung und des Einmarsches der sowjetischen Truppen in Prag.

The idea was to just head to the studio with some fun clothes from her closet that Kathi and her picked out prior to the shoot. The theme was "Emily's Closet". Originally we were going to shoot "in" her closet, but… so much stuff it wasn't really a great idea ☺ She has a LOT of clothes!
In the end we had such a fun time. Emily has such a great personality and she is a pleasure to shoot with. Here are some of the shots we got along with the banner she ended up with for her blog.

Ruby And The Romantics – The Pride Of Akron
September 16, 2018 September 18, 2018 by BG, posted in Blues, Boomers, Music, Oldies, Seniors, Video
You wouldn't normally think of Akron, Ohio, an average Midwestern city, as the birthplace of a R&B group with a number-one hit in the 1960's, but that's exactly what happened when Ruby and the Romantics hit the top. Their 1963 recording of "Our Day Will Come" was a huge success, topping the charts in the U.S. and finding overseas success too.
Ruby Nash attended high school in Akron, and although she was not necessarily looking toward a professional career, she did enjoy singing with her friends. They often entertained at local dances and talent shows, and she eventually caught the eye of Leroy Fann, an Akron entertainer who had already had some experience as a part of various singing groups. He asked Ruby to sing from time to time with him and his buddies George Lee, Ronald Mosely, and Ed Roberts, and it soon led to an audition for Kapp Records, a New York company.
Kapp named the group Ruby and the Romantics, and for their first record the combo convinced their record producers to let them perform a song that had been intended for the label's star vocalist, Jack Jones, a crooner who had Grammy-winning hits like "Lollypops and Roses" and "Wives and Lovers". As it turned out, the song — "Our Day Will Come" — became a huge hit for the new group, reaching number-one on the charts.
The song was by far the group's biggest hit and earned them a Grammy, but they would later find some success with songs like "My Summer Love" and "Hey There Lonely Boy" before eventually going their separate ways in 1971.
But the success of Ruby and the Romantics can't be measured by the number of hits they generated. The style and sound of their music was admired by many of their contemporaries, who appreciated their silky-smooth harmonies, ranging from tenor to deep bass. They furnished inspiration to a wide variety of ensembles like the Temptations, the Carpenters, Martha & The Vandellas, and even Donny and Marie Osmond. On top of that, their big song — "Our Day Will Come — has been recorded by more than sixty other artists, including Frankie Valli, Cher, Bobby Darin, Pat Boone, Nancy Wilson, the Supremes, and many others.
Ruby and the Romantics were unusual in that the group remained stable during their decade-long existence, rather than suffering the volatility that led many others to change personnel regularly. Since the breakup, not a lot was heard from the group's members, but all of the Romantics have now passed on by natural causes. Ruby is still alive at last report and living in Akron. Neither she nor any of the group's members (or their heirs) have received any royalties from their records.

Always one of my favorites. Even added it to my repertoire when I was playing keyboards as a single act back in those days. Couldn't quite compete with Ruby and the gang vocally so played it as an instrumental! 🙂
Actually wasn't familiar at all with their version of "Hey There Lonely Boy" so thanks for including it in your post…

Intriguing to hear that little snippet from your wild past, Alan. I bet you've got some tales to tell.:)

Composite-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become a well-established element in researchers' multivariate analysis methods toolbox (Hair, Black, Babin, & Anderson 2018).
Mainstream marketing often implicitly built on neoclassical economics, and ended up viewing the market as an a priori, self-generating reality (Ellis et al. 2010), which is "given" and outside the control of the firm (Coviello and Joseph 2012). Thus, the market orientation and marketing capabilities literature was traditionally dominated by sense-and-respond discussions (Morgan 2012), where the job of marketing was to generate better understanding of the market and help the organization to respond to this understanding.
The use and communication of sensory information mediated by /delivered via the latest in new technologies is a subject that challenges researchers in human-computer interaction (HCI), psychology, and marketing. Researchers in HCI try to develop interactions and technologies that stimulate the user's senses by means of novel digital interfaces. Marketing researchers are interested in innovating on, and improving the, multisensory experience online. Experimental psychology, on the other hand, seeks to understand how processes such as perception, attention and/or judgments, express, and are influenced by, these new technologies. By working together, these disciplines may facilitate the development of theories of consumer-relevant multisensory perception and action, and broaden the scope of multisensory experience design. In this Special Issue, we want to create an interdisciplinary research space in which to discuss the scope of Multisensory Consumer-Computer Interaction. We want to put the consumer at the heart of experience design by considering his/her senses and sensory needs. Our ultimate goal is to develop an interdisciplinary research agenda on the topic.


It's been an intense few episodes since the midseason finale, however, it's felt like this back half of the season has been in a holding pattern, waiting for something to happen but something did happen right at the end as it usually does.
Michaela felt guilty about Tegan so she texted her against Asher's wishes as it would make her look even more suspicious. Bonnie had been working hard to protect Denver but he didn't seem grateful. Annalise was working hard to get a restless Laurel released from the hospital. She was also worried about Frank who kept Dominic's still ringing phone as it may lead back to them. She pleaded to Nate about the hard drive though he claimed to not know where it was.
Meanwhile, Annalise still has her class action case so she tasked Connor, Oliver, and Asher to work on it as a way to put their minds elsewhere. Laurel found a petition that could be filed to get her out but Annalise claimed to have already filed in and failed but it was a lie to keep her in the hospital. She didn't know why Laurel gave birth prematurely and wanted to be sure that it wasn't because of something she did to herself.
The sort of return of Wes via the voicemail message brought on some feelings within Annalise as she returned to his apartment. Denver told Bonnie to stay away from the Keating 4 but she couldn't so she asked for Nate's help with Asher. Someone at the law firm saw him and Asher have an altercation earlier that evening. Oliver had been monitoring Simon by hacking into the hospital because he still felt guilty about what happened. He went to visit Simon and apologize. Asher consoled him by telling him to repress what he was feeling.
Frank urged Annalise to mend her relationship with Bonnie so Annalise went to Bonnie's so they can air their grievances. We all know what caused Laurel's baby's premature birth and now she knows and shared it with Michaela who then shared it with Annalise and Frank. Nate got stonewalled by Tegan when he tried to get more information from Caplan & Gold.
Isaac thought he was done with Annalise but she showed up at his office to convince him to see Laurel. He wasn't exactly thrilled to see her. She told him that this was all about saving herself. While going through cases for the class action, Asher found one who shared the same name as Nate. Michaela ambushed Tegan who told her that she should be more scared about what may come. Denver warned Jorge about Bonnie. Isaac got Laurel released.
Finally, Annalise and Frank played Wes' voicemail for Laurel. The number that had been calling Dominic's phone was her supposedly crazy mother.
Overall, this was a good episode that didn't really advance the plot for the back half of the season but it explored some new connections between the characters while raising a few more questions. What's the connection between Wes and Dominic, Laurel's mother and Dominic, and Nate and the class action client they found. What does Tegan know The scene between Annalise and Bonnie was the highlight of the episode. It's nice to see them bring back the class action subplot but it kind of felt shoehorned in along with everything else. It can't all be about Laurel and her baby, however, that storyline has been much better.


Sachin Tendulkar once happened to play for Pakistan before he started playing for India!!! Yes, it is true. This incident took place during a practice match between the rival nations India and Pakistan at the Brabourne Stadium in 1987. Tendulkar came onto the field as a substitute fielder for Pakistan.
Bishen Singh Bedi once forfeited an ODI match between India and Pakistan simply because of too much use of the bouncer deliveries by the Pakistani fast bowlers especially, Sarfraz Nawaz! India just needed 23 runs from 14 balls with 8 wickets in hand when this incident happened.
The Indian cricket team is the only team to have been dismissed fully twice in a single day of a test match. This happened against England at Old Trafford in 1952.
The 1984-85 seasons' 2nd One Day International between India and Pakistan at Sialkot, Pakistan. India was at a score of 210 runs for the loss of 3 wickets with Dilip Vengsarkar on the crease at a score of 94*. Match was duly announced to be abandoned after hearing the news of the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi being assassinated.
The first ever international match took place in 1844, in New York between the United States and Canada. It was won by Canada.
When Australia toured England for the first time in 1868, each player wore a different colored cap, in order for the public to identify them.
The first test match was one between Australia and England. The test match took place in Melbourne between 15 – 19 March 1877.

What Is A Class Proceeding?
The law firms of Flaherty McCarthy LLP and Waddell Phillips P.C. have commenced a multi-million dollar proposed Class Proceeding against LIVANOVA PLC, SORIN GROUP DEUTSCHLAND GMBH and SORIN GROUP USA, INC. seeking damages arising from the negligent design, testing, marketing and sale of the defendants' Sorin 3T System. This is a medical device regulated in Canada pursuant to the Medical Devices Regulation, SOR/98-282, which is a Regulation to the Food and Drugs Act, RSC 1985, c F 27.The Sorin 3T System is used during cardiac surgery to regulate blood temperature by circulating water through tubes into a heat exchanger where blood is pumped into separate chambers during surgery. As the water passes through the water tanks and other areas it is aerosolized into a vapor. The Plaintiff alleges that this vapor containing NTM which exits from the device and is pushed into the ambient air of the operating room through the System's exhaust fan. When placed in an operating room, the contaminated vapor from the System directly enters the sterile surgical field and the patient's open body through their open surgical site.The primary bacteria at issue, inter alia, M. Chimaera and M. Abscessus, are subspecies of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium ("NTM") that occurs naturally in the environment and rarely causes illness. NTM poses a unique risk to patients whose organs and chest cavities are directly exposed to the bacteria during surgery. Because NTM is a slow growing bacterium, it generally takes anywhere from two weeks to five years before manifestation of an NTM infection, which most commonly results in pulmonary or cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of NTM infection are frequently non specific and may include any of the following: fever, pain, heat or pus around a surgical incision, wound healing issues, night sweats, joint and muscle pain, weight loss, and fatigue. The diagnosis of an NTM infection requires targeted culturing and/or molecular diagnostic testing. While an NTM infection diagnosed early on may be successfully treated with a series of antibiotics, there is a significant risk of death in cases with delayed diagnoses and/or in individuals with considerably weakened immune systems.
A copy of the Fourth Amended Statement of Claim can be found here. The allegations contained in the Statement of Claim have not yet been proven in Court.
An application for funding for this action was heard by the Class Proceedings Fund on April 18, 2018. The funding application was successful. The Class Proceedings Fund will provide some funding for the costs of disbursements incurred in prosecuting the case, and will provide an indemnity to the plaintiffs for any adverse cost awards made by the court. In exchange, the Fund will be entitled to receive 10% of the net proceeds of any judgment or settlement achieved for the class.
We have prepared a PowerPoint Presentation which provides further important information to Class Members which can be found here.
This matter was certified as a class proceeding by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 21, 2021. The ORDER and REASONS FOR DECISION can be accessed here.
The Court approved this LONG-FORM NOTICE in ENGLISH and FRENCH advising you of the certification and the right of any class member to opt-out of the class proceeding.
Class Counsel has also released this PRESS RELEASE to provide further notice.
CBC's The National aired a report on January 19, 2022 regarding the Livanova (Sorin) 3T Heater-Cooler Unit.
As a class member, you do not have to do anything more to be involved in this lawsuit. You will be a member of the class unless you choose to opt-out in accordance with the Order of the Court.
If you have been diagnosed with an M Chimaera infection, or are concerned that you may have been infected, then please contact us so that we can add you to the list of interested and affected class members to ensure that you will get direct notice of significant steps in the proceeding as the case progresses.

В этой статье перечислены все бомбардиры каждой страны на чемпионатах мира по футболу. Числа в зелёных ячейках означают, что игрок закончил турнир лучшим (или одним из лучших бомбардиров) чемпионата мира.

Всего на чемпионатах мира было забито более 2300 голов (без учёта послематчевых пенальти). Первый гол на чемпионатах мира забил француз Люсьен Лоран на чемпионате мира 1930. Более 1200 футболистов хотя бы раз забивали на этом турнире, однако игроков, забивших хотя бы 5 мячей, только 90.

Лучшим бомбардиром первого чемпионата мира по футболу 1930 в Уругвае стал аргентинец Гильермо Стабиле, забивший 8 мячей. С тех пор больше Стабиле забило только 22 футболиста: первым побил результат аргентинца венгр Шандор Кочиш: на чемпионате мира 1954 Кочиш, в составе знаменитой Золотой команды, отличился 11 раз. На следующем чемпионате рекорд Кочиша побил Жюст Фонтен: 13 голов в шести играх. На чемпионате мира 1970 года Герд Мюллер забил 10 голов, и, отличившись ещё четырежды на следующем турнире (включая гол в финальном матче против Нидерландов), возглавил общий список. Его рекорд продержался более 30 лет, пока бразилец Роналдо не забил 15 голов в период с 1998 по 2006 год. В период с 2002 по 2014 Мирослав Клозе отличился 16 раз, что позволило ему возглавить общий список бомбардиров.

Из 90 игроков, забивших как минимум 5 голов на чемпионатах мира, только у пяти футболистов средний показатель превышает 2 гола за игру: Шандор Кочиш, Жюст Фонтен, Гильермо Стабиле, Йозеф Хюги и Олег Саленко; на чемпионате мира 1938 в своей единственной игре на турнире поляк Эрнест Вилимовский отличился четырежды. Эти 90 игроков представляют 30 футбольных сборных (при этом тринадцать игроков представляют Бразилию, а ещё четырнадцать — Германию). В общей сложности 60 игроков представляют УЕФА (Европа), 26 — КОНМЕБОЛ (Южная Америка), по одному представителю от Камеруна, Ганы, Австралии и США.

Жюст Фонтен — рекордсмен по количеству голов на одном турнире (тринадцать голов в 1958 году). В 1962 году шесть игроков стали лучшими бомбардирами турнира, забив всего четыре мяча каждый. Всего 29 футболистов становились лучшими бомбардирами чемпионатов мира, при этом никто не становился лучшим бомбардиров дважды. Девять из них забили как минимум 7 мячей на турнире, за исключением Жаирзиньо, который, имея в своём активе семь голов, так и не стал лучшим бомбардиров, уступив Герду Мюллеру (10 голов).

Restaurant Review: Dolce Italia
By Jack Winner , Herald-Tribune
/ Monday, March 28, 2011
Run by a charming couple from Ischia, an island off the coast of Naples, Dolce Italia — sweet Italy — opened several months ago on Superior Avenue in the Gulf Gate section of town. The restaurant is small and unpretentious, consisting of a deli counter on one side, five or six tables, and a long pumpkin-colored wall on the other side, where several paintings depicting scenes from Ischia hang.
This unpretentiousness carries over to the menu, which is not extensive, but relies on daily specials posted on a slate blackboard to spice it up. The simplicity that characterizes the cooking here reminds diners that real Italian cooking — the kind one finds in Italy — relies on fresh ingredients and minimal fuss in preparation. This not cooking of the "bury it in cheese and tomato" sort, but rather an excellent demonstration of how less is more.
The Antipasto all'Italiani ($6.99) reminded me of ones I had had in Italy, a simple presentation of prosciutto, salami, boiled ham and provolone cheese fanned out around some artichoke hearts. That's it. But the cold cuts were all high quality, the salami especially good with a spicy edge to it.
The other antipasto selections follow in the vein: Caprese ($6.50) with tomato, mozzarella and basil, and Melazane alla Parmigiana ($6), or as we know it, eggplant parmesan.
Pasta dishes follow the tried and true — Lasagna ($9.99), Manicotti ($8), even a Spaghetti with Meatballs ($10), but the prices are astonishingly low given the quality of the cooking, which is very good, indeed.
Spaghetti alla Puttanesca ($10.99) provides a perfect example. This wickedly named dish — prostitute's spaghetti — has various explanations for its name: its simplicity, or because it can be made quickly, or because it uses ingredients mostly already in the kitchen. Whatever the explanation, the dish is a common one in southern Italy and is characterized by its simplicity and robustness.
The ingredients are basic and pungent: roughly chopped tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, black olives, capers, perhaps some hot pepper flakes, fresh basil or oregano. That's what Dolce Italia offered, quickly cooked to retain the freshness of each element and mixed in with spaghetti. The result is a wonderfully gratifying dish, the kind that works on almost all the senses: the lovely display of the ingredients, the smell of garlic and basil, the potent flavor of these, along with the olives and capers, the resilient chewiness of the pasta.
Raviolini with Mushrooms ($14.99) released a heady billow of aromas when cut into, deep and earthy, smells matched by the taste of the stuffing. As with the spaghetti, the pasta itself was excellent, cooked just al dente, and with a simple marinara sauce to balance the concentrated flavor of the mushrooms.
The colorful duo of Paglia e Fieno ($17.99) — literally straw and hay — consists of yellow and green (from spinach) tagliatelle, a wide, flat pasta that this evening was served with mussels out of the shell. The mussels were tender and good-sized, joined on the plate by mushrooms and some chopped tomato and a good dose of garlic, all eminently edible.
Those looking for a Secondo Piatto will find Chicken ($12.99) done in three different styles — picatta, cacciatore and pizzaiola.
For dessert I couldn't pass up the Baba al Rum ($4), sponge cake soaked in rum and served with whipped cream or ice cream. It's one of those guilty pleasure treats, and mine left me happily guilty. A Tirmisú ($4) also hit the spot very nicely.
The owners at Dolce Italia work both the kitchen — with just one assistant from what I could tell — and the front of the house, so expect service to be a bit leisurely, but also expect it to be warm and accommodating. There's a small selection of wines, and the owners will help you with that, too.

Overshadowed by scandal, Trump calls for López's release in Venezuela
February 17, 2017 Kevin Lees Leave a comment
Before Thursday's jaw-dropping 77-minute free-form press conference, US president Donald Trump made a rare foray into Latin American politics on Wednesday night, publicly calling for the release of Leopoldo López, a Venezuelan opposition leader imprisoned by the chavista government since 2014.
It was a surprising move by Trump, who was having dinner Wednesday night with López's wife, Lilian Tintori, and Florida senator Marco Rubio. Trump joins many figures from across the political spectrum over the last three years, including former US president Barack Obama and Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy, who renewed calls to release López on Thursday.
López, on the third anniversary of his arrest, is now at the heart of the Venezuelan opposition struggle in its daunting task of removing an increasingly undemocratic chavista regime through democratic means. Despite Trump's call on Twitter to free López, a Venezuelan appeals court upheld the opposition leader's sentence Thursday morning, and foreign minister Delcy Rodríguez chided Trump in response.
In February 2014, when protestors were already taking to the streets against Maduro's government (and when the economic situation, though dire, was far better than today), López was leading the way calling for peaceful protests in hopes of toppling the government through show of popular disapproval. Those protests, however, turned deadly when police deployed lethal force against the protesters and 43 people died. López was promptly arrested and, months later in September 2015, found guilty of public incitement of violence. His imprisonment is widely considered to be politically motivated by international groups and figures ranging from the United Nations to the Dalai Lama, and his arrest was one of the reasons why the South American trading bloc, MERCOSUR, suspended Venezuela's membership in December 2016, citing problems with human rights and the rule of law.
