Seattle, WA–Inaugurating a season highlighted by the orchestra's commitment to empower and nurture aspiring young musicians and that continues the theme of innovation and exploration for which the orchestra has been celebrated in recent years, Music Director Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony will continue to explore diverse repertoire and engage with Seattle's creative community through innovative concerts and in-depth community and education programs. The season begins on September 19 and runs through July 2016.
Ludovic Morlot leads the orchestra in 12 Masterworks programs this season with performances of core orchestral repertoire including Mahler's Symphony No. 1, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 4, Beethoven's Symphonies Nos. 3, 4 and 7, and Fauré's Requiem. In a programming philosophy that pairs standard repertoire with rarely heard orchestral works, the Orchestra's Masterworks season also includes the U.S. premiere of Silvestrov's Symphony No. 8, Berio's Sinfonia featuring vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth, Messiaen's Poèmes pour Mi, Martinů's Symphony No. 4 and Dutilleux's Timbres, espace, mouvement.
Ludovic Morlot and the Orchestra held the Seattle Symphony Piano Competition this month, with the final three rounds taking place from September 15–18 in Seattle. The local community was invited to take part in the competition by attending all three rounds and casting its vote for the Audience Favorite Award. Through a unique competition featuring French-American repertoire, and the requirement of improvisation in a world-premiere, jazz-like solo piece by Northwest native and Young Concert Artist alumnus Kenji Bunch, the Symphony sought to promote and recognize distinctive up-and-coming pianists eager to embrace its vision for innovation, contemporary music and creative programming. The Symphony partnered with Young Concert Artists and Washington Performing Arts to offer winners a comprehensive overview and guidance on navigating the changing landscape of an international performance career. Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet served as Chair of the jury, which also included Music Director Ludovic Morlot, Seattle Symphony Principal Cello and Young Concert Artist alumnus Efe Baltacıgil, Young Concert Artists Director of Artist Management Monica J. Felkel, Washington Performing Arts Director of Programming Samantha Pollack, First Chair Promotion Project Manager James Egelhofer, and Seattle Symphony President & CEO Simon Woods. The winning pianist received a $10,000 cash prize and an opportunity to perform with the Seattle Symphony during the 2016–2017 season.
The Seattle Symphony will premiere nine commissions and co-commissions in the season. A new work (co-commission with the National Orchestra of Belgium) by Giya Kancheli, entitled Nu.Mu.Zu for Orchestra, will receive its U.S. premiere on the November 5–7 Masterworks program. Also on Masterworks from June 9-11 is the U.S. premiere of a new work by Anna Clyne, co-commissioned with the National Orchestre d'Ile de France. The season's two Sonic Evolution concerts on October 26 and May 16 will highlight three commissions by American composers Wayne Horvitz, William Brittelle and Michael Gordon. The October concert will feature the world premiere of Those Who Remain by Horvitz, and the May concert will feature a new work by William Brittelle and the World Premiere of The Unchanging Sea for Piano and Orchestra by Michael Gordon. Three new works by University of Washington composers Richard Karpen, Joël-François Durand, and Huck Hodge will be premiered on the late-night [untitled] concert on October 23.
Principal Guest Conductor Thomas Dausgaard, in his second season with the Orchestra, returns to conduct the Seattle Symphony's first-ever performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 10 (Cooke version), Schoenberg's Transfigured Night and Nielsen's Symphony No. 4, which is performed in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Nielsen's birth.
In a special collaboration, Seattle Symphony Media will release the live recording of sound sculptor Trimpin's Above, Below, and In Between which premiered during the late-night [untitled] concert in May 2015. The piece was part of a site-specific sound installation commissioned by the Symphony and was installed in the Grand Lobby of Benaroya Hall. The release coincides with Trimpin's exhibition at Seattle's Winston Wächter Gallery and will be released via vinyl and digital download only. In February the label will release the next volume of orchestral works by Charles Ives. This follows a recording of the composer's Symphony No. 2 that was released in March of 2014. The upcoming release will include a live performance of Symphony No. 4 at Benaroya Hall from the 2014–2015 season, and studio recordings of Central Park in the Dark, The Unanswered Question and Symphony No. 3. The Orchestra will continue to survey and release Ives' orchestral works in the current and coming seasons. In May the label will release live recordings of Stravinsky's Petrushka from a sensational run on Masterworks in the 2014–2015 season, and Debussy's La Boîte à Joujoux.
In August 2016, in commemoration of what would have been Henri Dutilleux's 100th birthday, Ludovic Morlot and Seattle Symphony Media will release the third and final volume of a three-disc, multi-year recording project of a comprehensive survey of the composer's orchestral works. Volume 1, which was released in 2014 and included Symphony No. 1, Tout un monde lointain with cellist Xavier Phillips, and The Shadows of Time for 3 Children's Voices and Orchestra, received three Grammy nominations earlier this year. Volume 2 featured the violin concerto L'arbre des songes (The Tree of Dreams) with violinist Augustin Hadelich, and electrifying live performances of Symphony No. 2 and Métaboles. The final volume will include studio recordings of Sur le même accord, Mystère de l'instant and Les Citations, as well as a live performance of Timbres, espace, mouvement which will take place on the Masterworks series April 28 and 30 in 2016.
The Symphony's cross-genre Sonic Evolution is expanding into two concerts in the 2015–2016 season, in celebration of Seattle's rich musical and cultural heritage. The first, titled Under the Influence," will be conducted by Ludovic Morlot and co-presented with the Earshot Jazz Festival on October 29. The performance features Derek Bermel's Migration Series, Concerto for Jazz Band and Orchestra, which was inspired by painter Jacob Lawrence's The Migration Series, depicting the migration of African Americans from the rural south to the urban north in the early 20th century. Joining the orchestra for this work is the award-winning Roosevelt High School Jazz Band. Additionally, Seattle-based guitarist Bill Frisell and the orchestra will give the world premiere of local composer Wayne Horvitz' Symphony No. 1. Seattle vocalist Shaprece closes the program with new orchestral arrangements of her music, a soulful blend of modern jazz, R&B and electronica.
The second Sonic Evolution concert, "This is Indie!" will be co-presented with the Seattle International Film Festival on May 13. The concert introduces two world premieres including Michael Gordon's The Unchanging Sea for Piano and Orchestra, featuring pianist and multimedia artist Tomoko Mukaiyama, which will be performed alongside a new film created by indie filmmaker Bill Morrison using historical footage of Seattle; and a world premiere by William Brittelle which blends classical and indie-pop. Additionally, composers William Brittelle, Ryan Brown and Elliot Cole will together create new compositions for Seattle's Fly Moon Royalty, known for their unique mix of blues, hip-hop and electronica.
The 2015–2016 season of [untitled], the late-night contemporary concerts in the relaxed atmosphere of the Samuel & Althea Stroum Grand Lobby, consists entirely of American music. The series opens on October 23 with three world premieres by University of Washington composers Richard Karpen, Juan Pampin and Huck Hodge. In February, the Seattle Symphony dedicates an [untitled] performance to renowned visual artist Robert Rauschenberg whose massive Echo hangs in the Grand Lobby, including works by his musical contemporaries John Cage and Earle Brown as well as Christian Wolff's For Bob and Morton Feldman's Rothko Chapel. The series closes on April 23 with John Luther Adams' In the White Silence, which evokes sub-Arctic winter over its hypnotic 70 minute duration.
The Seattle Symphony's extensive education and community initiatives reach more than 65,000 people each year through a variety of programs tailored to meet the needs of various audiences, schools and communities. Its Community Connections program for nonprofit organizations allows diverse communities to attend Symphony performances for free, attend pre-concert workshops, and participate in in-depth creative projects. In the 2014–2015 season Community Connections gave away more than 1,800 concert tickets and in the coming season will collaborate with more than 50 organizations who serve the underserved in the Puget Sound region. Projects such as the Lullaby Project, a partnership with Mary's Place, a day shelter for mothers and their children who are homeless or are in transition, provides a support network for the mothers as they each create a personal lullaby for their children. Other collaborations with organizations such as Path with Art, Mockingbird Society, Lighthouse for the Blind, Southeast Seattle Senior Center and Full Life Care have brought Symphony musicians and teaching artists to various communities throughout the city to engage an underserved demographic.
In the 2015–2016 season the Symphony's school-day concerts will again follow the curriculum of Link Up, a national program of Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute. Serving 9,500 students grades 3 to 5 from over 100 schools in 25 districts, these performances give students the opportunity to sing and play their recorders along with the orchestra from their seats, In addition, Seattle Symphony's Soundbridge, one of the few dedicated education spaces amongst American symphony orchestra halls, hosts workshops for preschools and elementary schools weekly, including Musical Storytime, Orchestra Families, Songwriting: State Songs and Science of Sound.
An avid advocate for music education in schools and mentoring young musicians, Ludovic Morlot participates in many different facets of the Orchestra's education projects. Through initiatives such as the launch of the first-ever Seattle Symphony Piano Competition, five or six community and Side-by-Side concerts with local high school and youth orchestras which are free to the public, the annual Merriman Family Young Composers Workshop, the annual Young Artists Auditions where young musicians are chosen to perform with the orchestra, Morlot and the Orchestra have redoubled their commitment to mentor the next generation of young conductors and musicians within the region. Since 2013 Ludovic Morlot has served as Chair of Orchestral Conducting Studies in the University of Washington's School of Music. In this capacity, he makes five to seven appearances at the University each year, leading classes and seminars in conducting. Students in the program also attend Seattle Symphony rehearsals throughout the season as part of their training under Morlot.
The Seattle Symphony is one of America's leading symphony orchestras and is internationally acclaimed for its innovative programming and extensive recording history. Under the leadership of Music Director Ludovic Morlot since September 2011, the Symphony was founded in 1903 and is heard from September through July by more than 500,000 people through live performances and radio broadcasts. It performs in one of the finest modern concert halls in the world — the acoustically superb Benaroya Hall — in downtown Seattle. Its extensive education and community engagement programs reach over 65,000 children and adults each year. The Seattle Symphony has a deep commitment to new music, commissioning many works by living composers each season, including John Luther Adams' recent Become Ocean, which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Music. The orchestra has made more than 150 recordings and has received 18 Grammy nominations, two Emmy Awards and numerous other accolades. In 2014 the Symphony launched its in-house recording label, Seattle Symphony Media.

ISB alumnus and Vice- President WhatsApp, Neeraj Arora institutes a Perpetual Scholarship
New Delhi: The Indian School of Business (ISB) today announced that its alumnus Neeraj Arora, Vice President at WhatsApp has instituted a perpetual merit-cum-need based scholarship for a deserving woman student of its flagship Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP).
The first recipient of the scholarship is Salini Tiwari, a dental surgeon from the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, who has done a commendable job in improving the healthcare facilities and support to the inhabitants of the islands. Salini has been serving in the community and district hospitals in rural areas of north and middle of Andaman raising awareness for oral diseases in surrounding villages in the islands. She has also devised a computerised system of record collection and data storage which is extensively used in these institutes.
This is the second such scholarship from an individual ISB alumnus. The first being the Phoenix Nurture India scholarship instituted by Amit Khanna, alumnus, and Founder, Phoenix Holdings, who has awarded ten scholarships over the years supporting students who are the sole earning members in their families.
Making the announcement, Rajendra Srivastava, Dean, ISB said," Our alumni are the true 'owners' of the ISB and it is heartening to see an increasing number of them come forward in making world-class education accessible to deserving young students. We are thankful to Neeraj, Amit, and the others, as these scholarships will ensure that meritorious students will not miss a deserving opportunity due to financial constraints. Every such contribution will allow us to attract the best of talent and nurture them for the future. We are proud of our alumni for their efforts in bringing about change that will make a meaningful impact on the industry and the larger society."
Titled the "Jagannath Arora Scholarship", Neeraj has instituted this scholarship to fulfill his father's aspiration to support talented and deserving young women professionals pursue a career of their choice. Speaking about the scholarship and his association with ISB, Neeraj Arora said, ''ISB was the place that gave me the basics of how to build a company. It also opened up opportunities for me to look at functions that I had no direct experience in before I went to study there. My alma mater holds a special place in my life — not only did I learn a lot, I also became part of a network that I have relied on and benefitted from, over the years. So to make the school even stronger, I would like to give back and will continue to do so in the coming years."
Thanks to the increasing number of ISB alumni moving into the upper echelons of corporate management, with over 450 of them holding CXO titles, and 400 co-founders of start-ups, ISB is witnessing a steady increase in funding support from its alumni body. As a result, the ISB alumni endowment fund has recorded a 300 % increase over the last three years and stands at 11 crores as on date. Several of the School's alumni are coming forward to support meritorious students so that they do not miss out on opportunities due to lack of resources. In addition, every graduating class leaves behind a gift for the School ranging from support for infrastructure to scholarships for the future generations, among others. Apart from this, ISB alumni contribute in different ways from admissions to placements, research, and projects and most importantly play an active role in supporting the School's growth trajectory.
About the ISB Alumni Network
Today, ISB has a very strong alumni base of approximately 8,500 spread across 41 countries and a wide spectrum of sectors such as management consulting, technology, finance, real estate, media, manufacturing, IT, telecom, automobile, energy, and healthcare. The network is increasing at over 1,000 per year, which will make it the strongest management network across the world.

Do you want to train your dog with safe collar that will help you to make your dog more obedient?
If so, this Martingale Siberian Husky Collaris what you need! It is designed og rustproof brass and soft yet strong leather part. Large buckle makes the process of leash attaching more easy. The collar is suitable for daily wearing.
This martingale collar is made with two loops which are connected with O-ring to attach a lead. When your dog tries to pull his head out of the collar, the tension on the leash pulls the collar taut, which makes escaping almost impossible. When adjusted properly the dog is never choked. The collar stays snug around the dog's neck (just behind the ears) until the pressure is made.
When not engaged by a taunt leash, fits looser than usual collars, lessening fur breakage, tangles, and skin irritation from too tight collars.
This martingale collar gives a more humane way of behavior correction than a choke collar. It is recommended by most authoritative trainers for obedience training.
Relieves pressure on your Husky's trachea by translating a tug on the leash to even pressure around the neck instead of direct pressure on the front of the neck.
Prevents escape of scared, aggressive, or excited dogs by fixedly contracting the entire collar when the dog pulls in any direction.

And then there is the term weed. So what is the difference between cannabis, marijuana, hemp and weed? Cannabis is the real name for the plant. The main strains for marijuana are Indica, Sativa, and Ruderalis. Indica is the couch stuff that makes you tired and mellow. In Greek Cannabis means flowering herb. So where did the confusion come from?
There is so much misconception out there even from industry professionals. even people who write books about the industry talk about cannabis and hemp as though there's something to be different between them. so no wonder people are confused. the fact is cannabis is hemp. let me explain further so you can understand where the possible confusion comes in. Cannabis is a species of a plant and includes all aspects of the plant. you are aware that cannabis can get you high and the cannabis plant has different strains. the cannabis strains that get you high is referred to as marijuana. so what happens is most people use the word cannabis and hemp interchangeably. that is where the confusion comes from. Cannabis has strains that are bred for industrial use. these cannabis strains do not get you high and are commonly referred to as hemp. the international definition of ham as opposed to marijuana was born in 1971. it was developed by a Canadian researcher and scientist named Ernest Small. in 1971 he published a little known book but a very influential one called the, "species problem." Scientist small acknowledge there is no scientific point in which a cannabinoid could be distinguished between hemp and cannabis. mean the strains had a little difference between cannabinoid strains that could get you high and industrial strains that had no Psychological affect. To define this he decided to draw an arbitrary line on the continuum of cannabis types that said a 0.3% THC in a sifted batch of flower was the difference between hemp and marijuana.
On one hand you have cannabis as a plant species and then you have strains that only have trace amounts of THC which is referred to as Hemp. This batch of hemp doesn't have enough of the THC or content that gets you high. If you smoke that you won't get high because there is not enough THC in the Hemp flower. And then you have cannabis strains that have high amounts of THC which we call marijuana. And a bunch of other names such as pot, dope, ganja, reefer, herb, weed, mary jane and so on.
The difference is in the amount of THC in the flower produced by the strain. If there is more than 0.3 percent then we call it marijuana. If there is less than 0.3 percent THC it's referred to Hemp and can be used for industrial purposes.

England's defeat to the United States in the Fifa Women's World Cup semi-final has become the UK's most-watched television programme so far this year.
I was at England's semi-final and it felt like an ending for the Lionesses but the beginning of a new era
Viewing figures showed a peak audience of around 11.7m on Tuesday night, which well exceeded the Lionesses' quarter-final fixture versus Norway when around 7.6m fans tuned in.
England suffered a noble 2-1 defeat to the US, a side which many believe to be the finest women's football team in history.

Manager Phil Neville said of the performance: "I've told them no tears tonight. I'm proud. They have touched the hearts of the nation.
"I couldn't ask for more. We had the time of our lives."
Viewing figures for the matches climbed steadily as England progressed through the competition. On 9 June, when the Lionesses played Scotland, 6.1m watched on. A week later, 6.9m saw England beat Cameroon 3-0.
Many have suggested the 2019 World Cup has marked a turning point for the women's game. As well as television success, stadiums have been far fuller than in previous years. But there's a way to go, and many are calling for sporting bodies to deliver greater funding.
Former Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn said this year's tournament has moved women's football from an "Olympic-type sport" to the mainstream.

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "What's been so different and great about this tournament is the sheer number of people watching the Lionesses on TV.
"It's moved from being an interesting Olympic-type sport to an absolute mainstream sport. The importance of that is that adds attraction, it pulls girls and women into playing.

"At the top end, what will make the product of the Women's Super League more attractive is getting more exposure in the millions – so being on terrestrial TV is important – making sure the games are played in the elite stadiums that the men play in, and continuing to improve the quality of the football.
"At the end of the day it's a leisure pursuit and if people see great quality football being played then they'll come and watch it."
England have one more game to come, and will play Sweden or the Netherlands in Saturday's third-place play-off.

I read an interesting article recently about beating the winter blues. I was then reminded the next day, when a boost of sunshine elevated my spirits in a noticeable way, that "winter blues" is a catch phrase for a spectrum of mood related changes that affect many of us in winter months. As a naturopath, I work with patients to physiologically support their neuroendocrine (the complex interplay between our brain and hormones) system. Now as a psychotherapy student under supervision, I look at the social and psychological implications of these mood changes. Both these options would be ideal for someone who is feeling that the quality of their life is being notably impacted by the change of season.
For others who may feel "winter blues" to a lesser extent – I have listed a few lifestyle ideas to help increase the pep in your step until our longer days and warmer temperatures fill our spirits once again.
Brighten your environment: using a light box / SAD lamp for 30 minutes a day has shown to be highly affected in some studies on SAD ( a clinical diagnosis of seasonally related depressive symptoms). Sit close to Windows and draw open curtains when possible.
Eat for Mood: speaking to a naturopath or nutritionist to help support mood through diet can be a great support. Simple carbohydrates like sugar can provide short term boosts but longer term patterns of mood instability. Alternatively increasing proteins and in particular tryptophan and tyrosine containing foods can help boost mood.
Exercise: A 2005 study by Harvard university suggests fast walking 35 minutes daily 5 days a week to improve mild to moderate depressive symptoms. Exercising under brighter light may also improve general mental health and social functioning according to a preliminary study on exercise and mental health.
Get Outside: Being outside and in nature when possible can help improve focus and lower stress levels. So add a layer and bundle up!
Get Involved: Social isolation in cold winter months can add to poor sense of wellbeing. Make social arrangements or find volunteer or charity groups to be involved with as a way to boost spirits and outlook.
We know that babies often can't communicate their needs clearly, and this makes it difficult to assess a new situation or environment. If it's your baby's first winter, you might be having a worrisome time deciding how to dress your infant for the cold, wet, windy (and sometimes unpredictable) weather we've been having.
Many parents' intuitive move is to bundle, bundle, bundle. This is understandable, since babies are temperature-sensitive and their immune systems are still developing. They also don't have much hair, making their heads highly exposed to the elements. We must remember however, that overheating is a real risk for young, sensitive babies, whether it's in the car seat, stroller or crib.
You're right to keep your baby warm and dry, and to take special care to protect infant hands, feet, faces and heads. Make sure that your baby's ears are covered to avoid the risk of an ear infection. Always cover hands and feet properly, but don't necessarily use these as an indication of your baby's temperature. Babies' have different circulatory systems than adults, so testing their fingers or toes to the touch isn't always an accurate way to tell if your child is feeling chilly.
While you should take your baby's warmth seriously, you should also be mindful of overheating. Watch for signs that your baby or toddler is uncomfortable. He or she might tug at blankets and clothing, squirm and display reddened skin. Layering is a smart way to prepare for uncertain temperatures. This way, if you notice your baby overheating, you can easily remove a blanket or sweater. This is especially prudent if you're on the go, and transitioning your baby between indoor and outdoor temperatures.
Be careful when swaddling as well. In the car, this can trap heat and raise your baby's internal temperature. If you notice your baby fussing in the car and showing a flushed face, check that you haven't overdressed or over wrapped. Remember that you can always add layers before taking your child out of the car.
Lastly, in wet, wintery weather it's important to not only dress for warmth, but to keep your baby dry. Choose water-resistant fabrics when buying snowsuits, coats, mitts, and stroller covers. Remove damp clothes immediately when you come into the house –this means both you and baby. One of the most important factors for ensuring your baby is well taken care of is keeping YOU, the caregiver, healthy too! So always take a moment before you walk out the door to ensure that you've protected your hands and ears, and are dressed suitably.
Wishing you and your little ones health through the rest of winter!

Rowing and Yachting In Barcelona
Written by Brian S
by Brian S
One of the most popular activities in Barcelona is maritime sailing, yachting, and rowing, particularly in competitions. With its clear access into the Mediterranean, Barcelona has multiple clubs that take it seriously and train hard to be the best in their sport on the water. They are part of Barcelona's sporting culture – inland and at sea – and many locals and tourists come by every year to these clubs for a class with the best in getting involved in the boating/rowing culture.

Since 1994, the CPMO hosts multiple annual regattas, such as the summer race, Christmas race, and solitary race, and other social activities for club members, including multiple cruises to different destinations. People can become members of the club, which provides benefits to the club's official partners. They are based at Olympic Port and race every Sunday as the more modern, open club that many people can join.
Real Club Maritimo de Barcelona
A members-only yacht club, it was established in 1881 and is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the country. In their history, they have won over a thousand competitions domestically and internationally, including the first Olympic medal for Spain in 1932, when member Santiago Amat won a bronze in single-person sailing. Based at Barcelona harbor, it stands close to rivals Reial Club Nàutic de Barcelona. The club has 251 docks for yachts and a dry dock to repair sail and motor boats. The club gives sailing and water sports courses as part of their mission to expand the popularity of sailing and rowing to people of all ages.
Reial Club Nàutic de Barcelona
The rival of Real Club Maritimo de Barcelona, they were founded in 1902 and is acclaimed for their work ethic in competitive races in the city and their work with other clubs, "to develop the fondness for maritime sports, to perform sail and rowing regattas and to promote the progress of shipbuilding." They are for both adults and children, giving them the desire to love the waters as much as they do in this fun, recreational activity. Even though it is a rigorous activity, this challenges people in a positive sense, connecting them to a different kind of enjoyment they never thought was possible.

These water sports are as connected to the cultural identity of Catalonia as football is to the entire country of Spain. Any place with a depth of reach as Barcelona has with athletics on both land and sea makes that place a large hub for an all-encompassing field of different events – such as the 1992 Summer Olympics. In the field of maritime activities, these clubs take pride in what they do and what they have done in the past and happily show it off to others who want to know the tricks of the trade.

George P. Bush's Last Stand at the Alamo
A plan to fix the historic site could have propelled the political scion to glory. Instead it's become his biggest battle.

The Battle of the Alamo concluded on March 6, 1836. Nine months and two weeks later, the Congress of the Republic created the General Land Office, the oldest state agency still in existence, to manage the land Sam Houston's men had won. They are two of the oldest totems of Texan identity there are, and these days they have the same custodian: land commissioner George P. Bush, the only member of one of the most successful political dynasties in American history who currently holds office.
When Bush ran for the office, in 2014, effectively unopposed, the Land Office seemed to suit his needs perfectly. It's a place where it's easy for a commissioner to leave an imprint, which is one reason why it's consistently been used as a stepping-stone to higher office. Every land commissioner since 1971 has run for another job at the end of his time at the GLO, and everyone expected the same of Bush, the son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush. Young, handsome, and half-Hispanic, he seemed to offer something different to a Republican Party increasingly eager to diversify its voting base.
He also had, waiting for him, the perfect project for an aspiring Texas politician: fixing the Alamo. For years there had been biting criticism of the way the Daughters of the Republic of Texas managed the state's most sacred site. In his first year in office, Bush kicked out the DRT and took full control. The GLO, working with the City of San Antonio, generated a plan to reclaim much of the original footprint of the Alamo mission by purchasing local buildings and decluttering the area. The tourist traps and the Ripley's Believe It or Not! would go, and the Shrine of Texas Liberty would be given a more reverential setting.
But over the past few years, that redevelopment plan has backfired. While Bush has struggled to contain other problems at his agency, public discontent about his Alamo blueprint has grown from a fringe movement to a wider phenomenon, one that now includes a variety of conservative activists who've never had much truck with Bush anyway.
Even so, the future of the Bush dynasty still seemed secure until Jerry Patterson, a cocksure and consistently well-armed ex-Marine pilot who ran the agency from 2003 to 2015, decided in early December to challenge Bush in this year's Republican primary, joining two other similarly discontented candidates. The absolute last place a politician wants to stand is between Texans and their national myths, and Bush's career now depends on convincing Texas conservatives he's one of them. He'll find out if he's done so when Republican primary voters cast their ballots on March 6, the 182nd anniversary of the battle.

In July 2015 Bush summoned employees of the General Land Office to an unusual meeting. Though Bush had coasted into office the year before over token opposition, it had been a rocky few months. Shortly after accepting a job as Bush's chief of staff, Trey Newton, the consultant whom Bush had called "our Karl Rove," left the agency under unclear circumstances, depriving Bush of his political adviser. Bush struggled with what he saw as the overly compartmentalized nature of the agency, which had been organized firmly in Patterson's image. That summer, Bush announced what he termed an urgent "reboot" of the agency.
The GLO, Bush said in a speech to his staff, was beset by "many threats, asymmetric threats." And the menace that troubled the agency didn't come from outsiders. "The real threat, really, is internal," he said. His chief clerk, Anne Idsal, took to the podium to lay out Bush's new plan: the Land Office would become like "an agile special forces of Texas government," she said, a "team of teams" that would "break out floors as it breaks down walls." Staff cuts would be coming, as would salary decreases.
"The reaction to the idea that there were enemies within the agency was crippling to morale and the functioning of the agency," said Chris Elam, a veteran state Republican party operative who worked for the GLO under both Patterson and Bush. There was clearly fat to cut, Elam said, but Bush's use of the term "threat" was puzzling to everybody in the room. The message seemed to be that Patterson's imprint on the agency was now a problem.
Waves of resignations and terminations followed. Disgruntled employees started leaking to the media, which produced a string of stories about trouble at the agency. There were other unforced errors; at the end of his first year, in a video conference call with supporters of his father's unraveling presidential campaign, he regretfully noted that he was "stuck here in Texas" instead of campaigning in Iowa. He contrasted the importance of Jeb's race with "running for dogcatcher like I did in Texas," a remark that spread widely.

Remember the hog Carcass Storage Facility!
The Alamo hasn't always been a place of reverence. In 1877, French businessman Honore Grenet turned the nearby long barrack into a grocery—and used the Alamo's chapel to string up and store hog carcasses.
But Bush still had the Alamo redevelopment initiative, an opportunity to make all of that irrelevant. The principle of that plan—to turn the Alamo into a memorial worthy of the name—had wide backing, and it had to be done soon. In 2014, British singer Phil Collins, a longtime Alamo history buff, donated his haul of Alamo artifacts to the state, with the proviso that a suitable home for them be built within seven years. The new plan, unveiled last year, would approximate the original boundaries of the mission as it existed during the battle, swallowing up much of the surrounding concrete-clad Alamo Plaza, and build a gleaming new museum with a rooftop garden and nearby canals.
The Land Office brought on historical preservation experts from a Philadelphia design firm, who approached the Alamo as a historical site instead of a place of popular imagination. To many Alamo enthusiasts, like Rick Range, a retired firefighter who's running alongside Bush and Patterson in the primary, that was the first mistake, "calling in all these out-of-state so-called experts who knew nothing about the Alamo, nothing about what it means to Texas." Range and his friends particularly objected to the tall glass walls the designers proposed installing in the plaza to mark the footprint of the original complex, preferring instead stone walls approximating the ones the defenders used. They especially objected to the fact that the plan proposed moving the Alamo cenotaph, the marble-and-granite column that lists the names of deceased defenders, closer to where the defenders' bodies are believed to have been burned. To some, the proposal evoked the ongoing debate about what to do about prominent Confederate memorials. Range calls Bush's plan a "gross monstrosity," the result of an excessively "politically correct environment," and has labeled Bush a "carpetbagger."
The debate over the plan sharpened, and Bush was slow to react. At a protest in October, one speaker decried Bush as part of a cabal that "want[s] to destroy our Western sense of identity." The GLO has launched an extensive public relations campaign to counter these attacks—Range built a website at savethealamo.us; the agency built one at savethealamo.com—and courted conservative kingmakers, with mixed results. The glass wall disappeared from the plan, and the agency sought to reassure people that the cenotaph would stay in some form. In October, Bush gave a speech at the Alamo, flanked by "Come and Take It" flags—which reference the Battle of Gonzales, not the Alamo—in which he promised that "this shrine will continue to be a place where 1836 lives and breathes every single day."
None of that was enough for protesters like Range. "He cannot be trusted with the future of the Alamo," he said of Bush. "He's flip-flopped more times than a catfish stranded on the bank of a river."
Bush and Patterson's campaigns are about as mismatched as the Texian and Mexican armies: Bush had almost $3.4 million in the bank at the end of last year, to Patterson's $95,000. (Though Patterson had only been a declared candidate for a few weeks.) But in the past few years, the key element in the Republican primary has been the countless small town halls and candidate forums held by Republican clubs around the state, where candidates appeal directly to the grass roots. Patterson has attended more than a dozen. Bush is opting out.
When Wesley Lloyd, the president of the McLennan County Republican Club, in Waco, reached out to Bush's campaign in December about hosting him at a candidate forum in February, a scheduler emailed back that the commissioner had scheduling conflicts, citing his involvement in Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts. "I don't think we will be able to schedule this at this time," she said. Lloyd's puzzled response: "I didn't give [the campaign] the list of potential dates." Bush isn't talking to the press much either; an effort to interview him for this story was declined by his campaign manager.
Outside a McDonald's somewhere between San Antonio and Austin, while his campaign volunteers are loading up on Quarter Pounders, Patterson tells me that he regrets stepping down from the Land Office in the first place. "This agency is important to me. The people who work there are important to me," he said. Back in 2013, Bush came to see him and said, " 'If you're not gonna run for office, I'm gonna run for it,' " Patterson recalls. "And I said, 'Well, he doesn't know anything yet, but that's fine.' "
Patterson regards Bush as "a very nice man" but a little undefinable. As Bush was inheriting the agency, Patterson tried to spend some time with his successor, to no avail. "I said, 'Let's go to lunch, let's get a beer,' and he never wanted to.
"My first inclination that he wasn't gonna be a sterling leader was when he had his hundred-days press conference, and it was a press conference that the press could not attend," Patterson said. "They had it on Periscope. That's some kind of app or something." Bush claimed then that he had "cleaned up contracting" at the agency. The implication that the agency had been crooked under Patterson didn't please Patterson at all.
Patterson's campaign literature is decked out with Alamo iconography, but he's focusing just as much on the GLO's response to Harvey as he is on the Alamo. The Land Office, which took some responsibility for disaster recovery efforts under Patterson, has been slow out of the gate after Harvey. (In September the GLO announced that it would help run a program to make temporary repairs to damaged homes, but by mid-December it had fixed only two homes.) Bush's initial staff cuts included senior members of the agency's disaster recovery team, who had had less to do after Hurricane Ike recovery efforts had wound down.
Range and Davey Edwards, a land surveyor who's the fourth candidate in the race, are unlikely to pose a significant threat to Bush, but if they keep anyone from getting a majority, they may help Patterson force Bush into a runoff, where insurgent candidates generally do well. (Range has said he would support Patterson in a runoff.) That said, Patterson has made a lot of enemies over the years. After he came in a distant fourth in his 2014 primary race for lieutenant governor, he angered many Republicans when he sent state news media a pile of opposition research on the victor, Dan Patrick, which included medical records. It remains to be seen how many hurt feelings persist from that episode.
That is, if anyone cares to remember it at all. You can always count on Texans to go for the better story. The real source of Bush's problems, opponents say, is that he has so far failed to understand the signs and symbols of this state—the foundation of the story—and that may now cost him everything. If George P. Bush survives, it will likely be because sometime in the next few weeks he learns something important about telling his own story.

Our GLO has never been managed better than it was under Jerry Patterson. He knows the state as well as anyone, after flying his own plane from one corner to the next. His team took charge after Ike and mitigated the suffering. Bush before Harvey, as you point out, sliced we'll paid, knowledgeable staff and then bragged about cutting fat from the budget. Cutting proven experts to save a dollar is like cutting the primary leadership from a fire or police department. That looks good on the books, but comes back to bite you in the ass during crisis situations. Did George P. think we were never going to have another hurricane? He needs to go; Patterson needs to take back over.
Dan on the River
I suspect the Bush money machine will steamroll Jerry Patterson, but there are a couple of more candidates in the race so it might boil down to a run off. I'll be voting for Patterson.
And what's the deal with Dan Patrick? He's buying TV ads like he had a real threat running against him. Is his war chest so big he has to spend the money??
He wants to stifle any possible opposition among his own party as well as Democrats (who are already pretty well neutered in this state).
I realize that George P was born in Houston, but he feels like a carpetbagger to me. The Daughters of the Republic of Texas was a fantastic steward of the Alamo. I flat out do not like what Bush is doing.
He is less of a carpet bagger than his Uncle and Grandpa. At least he went to college in Texas. Perhaps he could not qualify for Yale..
Mark Machado
For the life of me I can't understand spending 450 million on redesigning the Alamo. The entire city of San Antonio has grown around the Alamo. Kind of hard to make it some "authentic" experience when it is in the heart of our downtown. So they are saying that 450 million isn't needed for anything else besides widow dressing for the Alamo? Leave the Alamo alone.
stormyseaward
Might not want to build those actual stone walls, guys.
It will just be proof that Mexicans can get over them.
The aptly named "P" IS a carpetbagger. Just another Bush come to Texas to build his personal fiefdom and create a money base to seek higher office. I can't abide that dynasty and registered as a Republican in these primaries solely for the purpose of casting a vote for Jerry Patterson and against any more Bushies. We got to step on this entitled snake before "P's" handlers groom him for the Governor's Mansion or worse.
Damn. "P" skates by again. I registered as a republican primary voter for naught! The shame and restrictions will linger for at least a year now, maybe two!
Dicky Neely
Jeb Bush was once called "the smart one" of the Bush brothers. That was a rather doubtful appellation and there is no danger of that ever applying to his son George P.

Farmer Raimondas Neverdauskas grows alpacas near Šiauliai. Having brought these exotic animals by plane from Chile, Raimondas became the first alpaca grower in the area. All is for the exclusive wool of these animals: being six times warmer than sheep's wool, alpaca wool is considered one of the finest. Many want to see and palm the exotic animals. So, Raimondas' alpacas frequently travel: the farmer takes them to the holidays and exhibitions. This requires the car which can fit large animals. In order to obtain it, the farmer addressed Šiaulių bankas. See Raimondas' history in the video clip.

Q: gsap, revert animation after play I'd like to play an animation with gsap, but after it has finished playing, I want to reset it. Like after playing that animation, reset, after it is finished. Without clicking anywhere or calculating the play time, sleeping or waiting the process. Just simply something like:
TweenLite.to(thing, 1, {x:'-20px'}).reset();

(ideally, there is no reset call in gsap.. how to acieve this?)
I can't get it to work with .seek(), .time(), .pause().
Those always interrupt the animation.
Preferable I want to use a simple TweenLite, or if it has to, a TimelineLite.
Im searching / looking for it since hours..

A: There are many ways to do it, but here's a simple one:
TweenLite.to(thing, 1, {x:-20, onComplete:function() {
    this.pause(0); //seeks the tween (this) to 0 (playhead's starting position) and pauses immediately.
}});

Does that help?

Fort McHenry is a historical American pentagonal-shaped fort on the Maryland coast located outside of Baltimore. Built in 1798, the fort became famous in the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812 when the fort successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from an attack by the British navy against all odds. The Battle of Baltimore was the defining moment of the War of 1812. The British were riding a slew of victories and after burning Washington D.C., they set their eyes on Baltimore.
After the land assault on Baltimore was stalled by the American ground defenses, it was now up to the British navy. If the navy ships could get into the harbor to assist the British ground troops, Baltimore would surely fall. However, standing between the British ships and Baltimore was Fort McHenry with its 1,000 troops commanded by Major George Armistead. Thus began one of the longest bombardments in American history. The men were out in the open with no bomb proofs or shelters to protect the soldiers during the attack. A dry moat, about three to four feet deep surrounding the fort was the only place that offered any semblance of protection.
British ships pummelled Fort McHenry with cannons that had a longer range than the ones at the fort, keeping them at a safe distance. Major Armistead commanded his men to continue firing shots back at the ships, to let the inhabitants and defenders in Baltimore know that they would not surrender. After believing they had an inevitable victory, the British naval ships began moving in closer to the fort to strengthen their attack. Once the ships had come within range of the fort guns, Major Armistead ordered an open fire which pushed the ships back after much damage. After an unsuccessful change of attack tactics, the navy retreated, leaving Baltimore and Fort McHenry still standing. The morning of the retreat, a large 30 by 42 foot flag replaced the smaller flag that had flown during the bombardment, signaling the victory over the British. The dramatic events inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem "Defense of Fort McHenry" which later became the National Anthem.
Fort McHenry also played a part in World War l and World War ll. It was designated a national park in 1925, and in 1939 was redesignated a "National Monument and Historic Shrine". Admission to the fort is free for individuals under 16 and $15 for ages 16+. The grounds are open from 9AM - 5PM.

Classes for our Powderpig parents and friends are available on the weekends and are coordinated with the children's lesson times. These classes have an instructor with a small group of students who work in a format of small group instruction and individual directed practice. This provides the flexibility necessary to allow students to work on particular skills and move between groups when skills and experience dictate. This assures adult students the opportunity to learn at their own pace.
The Adult Lessons begin 15 minutes after the children's classes start and end 15 minutes before the children get out. This allows you a 15 minute buffer before and after both morning and afternoon "sessions" so you will have time to get your Powderpigs into classes and then get ready for your own lesson without having to rush.
The cost for the "Adults Unlimited" classes will be $300 for the Friday evening session (1½ hours for nine weeks), and $375 for the Saturday or Sunday session (3 hours for nine weeks). Parkas are not included in the adult program.
Good equipment is just as important for our adult Powderpigs as it is for our younger Powderpigs. A visit to your favorite snow sport store is a good first step. If you are skiing on skis you have used before, taking your skis in to get them checked out, tuned up and the bindings checked is also a very good idea. Both the Alpine Hut and Gerk's Ski and Spoke as well as Edge and Spoke provide these services and do a fine job! As with the kid's equipment, the earlier you visit these stores, the less congested they will be and the more individual attention you will receive.
NOTE: Adult lessons are structured for beginner and intermediate skiers. If you are seeking advanced or skill specific lessons please email us (Jennifer@Powderpigs.com).

Jamia violence: Court dismisses complaint against Sisodia
Published: Oct 09,202008:54 PM by IANS
The court further said that the allegations made in the complaint does not even prima facie relate to ingredients required for attracting the section for intention to cause riots.
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Friday dismissed a criminal complaint filed against Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for allegedly spreading fake news that Delhi Police personnel set a DTC bus on fire during the violence at Jamia area in December, on the grounds that no cognizable offence is prima facie made out.
Advocate Alakh Alok Srivastava had moved the Rouse Avenue Court seeking a direction to the Delhi Police to register an FIR against Sisodia for intent to cause riot, provoke breach of peace and public mischief under the Indian Penal Code.
Dismissing the complaint, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Pahuja noted that no previous sanction has been obtained by the complainant from the competent authority to prosecute Sisodia for the offences alleged in the complaint.
For prosecution of Sisodia, prior sanction from the competent authority i.e. Central government is required as per law. In view of that, the court added: "Hence, in view of the settled position of law, the application and the complaint deserves to be dismissed being not tenable in the eyes of law."
"No cognizable offence prima facie made out as per contents of complaint. Accordingly, on merits also, the application as well as the complaint deserves to be dismissed."
In the complaint, Srivastava had quoted two of Sisodia's Hindi tweets, one of which state: "BJP is setting fire to Delhi due to the fear of defeat in elections. AAP is against any kind of violence. See by yourself in this video, how fire is being set under the protection of the police."
The other read: "It should be probed what these men in uniform were putting on the bus with yellow and white cans before it was set on fire. On whose direction was it done? It is clear from the photos that BJP had asked the police to set (buses) on fire."
Praying for FIR to be registered, the complainant told the court that the tweets created a mistrust of the police amongst the public and Sisodia, being a responsible figure, tried to malign the police's image with the sole intention to incite violence and promote disharmony, hatred between different groups and also to provoke breach of peace.
According to the court's order, the Delhi Police had also denied Sisodia's allegations and clarified in an official statement that its personnel were dousing the flames, by putting water on the bus which was put on fire by the rioters, hence, the utterance made by respondent by way of his tweets were baseless and false.
At least, three DTC buses were set on fire in the Bharat Nagar area of the national capital on December 15 after a demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) turned violent in the area.

UP health worker's death not due to Covid jab: Report
Despite Covid, India serious about infra development: Modi
SC: Delhi Police to decide whether farmers be allowed in city to protest


Integrated Water Services (IWS) have recently invited all Year 7 pupils to design a Health and Safety themed poster and slogan to form part of our new safety campaign. The competition was launched during a 'safety on site' assembly for Year 7 at St Michael's High School.
As part of IWS's commitment to the local communities in which they work, the local team was keen to assist the school in raising the children's awareness of health and safety in the workplace and on site. The aim of the campaign is to display and rotate the winning posters throughout the IWS network of sites to maximise exposure. The posters will encourage everyone to stop or change works if they feel something is unsafe or likely to cause harm to themselves or others.
The assembly was delivered as an interactive learning experience which included some of the children trying on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in order for them to understand why the use of PPE is so important on construction sites and in everyday life.
Year 7 did not disappoint and IWS received over 50 entries to the competition, with Managing Director Steve Suffolk and Health and Safety Manager Claire Morgan selecting the winners.
Lelleah Bryan took home the £100 first prize with her 'Safety Sophie' concept. Steve and Claire were particularly impressed with the messages Lelleah put across in her design. The runners-up were Jessica Andrews and Madelaine Priest, each being presented with £50 vouchers.
Two other entries from Ellie Siverns and Kiera Grigg picked up highly commended awards through the sheer time and effort that had gone into their entries. Both students were presented with £25 vouchers.
Employee engagement is vital in helping us achieve and maintain the excellent standards we set ourselves. Steve Suffolk, Managing Director of IWS Mechanical and Electrical, said: "As a local business this competition is a great way to engage with young people to promote the importance of health and safety, not only at work but in general.
We would like to congratulate Lelleah on winning the poster competition. Her design was well thought through and showcases key messages that will be reinforced to the IWS workforce through the display of her poster.
Head of Year 7, Stuart Dix said, "I am very proud of Lelleah's achievement. Her winning design was wonderful and really encompassed the whole ethos of the competition. The children learned some important lessons about staying safe in and around construction sites. They thoroughly enjoyed being able to try on the protective clothing and have made a real effort with their safety posters".

Still Life with a Bowl of Strawberries, a Spray of Gooseberries, Asparagus and a Plum
Adriaen Coorte
1659/64 - in or after 1707
Oil on paper on canvas
Signed; Dated
Gift from the collection of Willem Baron van Dedem, 2017
Room 17a
(Room closed)
Still Life with Strawberries, Gooseberries and Asparagus
This is a typical example of the small but exquisitely executed still-life paintings which were Adriaen Coorte's specialism. He used a dark background and dramatic lighting to highlight the contrast between different shapes and surfaces, such as the translucence of ripe gooseberries and the musty sheen on the plum.
The high degree of precision gives the impression of a realistic scene – you might assume it has been painted from life. But this can't have been the case, because the food depicted here would not have been available at the same time. Asparagus spears are cut in May; strawberries usually ripen from June; gooseberries are picked in early July and plums in August.
Compositions which belied seasonal availability in this way were common in Dutch still-life and flower paintings, however. There was a long tradition of artists working from studio drawings rather than painting direct from nature.
Adriaen Coorte is one of those unusual artists whose work was forgotten after his death and then rediscovered centuries later. This is a typical example of the small, exquisitely executed still-life paintings in which he specialised, and which only started to be appreciated again in the early twentieth century. The National Gallery owns just this example and acquired it only recently, in 2015.
The formula Coorte followed most often – as here – was to depict fruit, nuts, vegetables or shells set on the edge of a stone shelf. He used a dark background and dramatic lighting to create strong highlights and deep shadows, an effect which emphasises the contrast between the smooth finish and sharp edges of the stone and the softer curves of his subject. He was highly skilled at rendering the textures of natural surfaces, like the translucence of ripe gooseberries, the tiny pocks in the skins of the strawberries and the musty sheen on the plum. The curled, bug-nibbled edges of the leaves are also depicted with painstaking delicacy.
This high degree of precision gives the impression of a realistic scene – you might assume it has been painted from life. But this can't have been the case, because the food depicted would not have been available at the same time. Asparagus spears are cut in May; strawberries (these are small wild ones) can ripen as early as May, but June is much more likely; gooseberries are picked from early July; and it's very unlikely that you would have found a ripe plum in seventeenth-century Holland before August.
Compositions which belied seasonal availability in this way were common in Dutch still-life and flower paintings, however. There was a long tradition of artists working from studio drawings and oil studies, and they were adept at reusing the same references. Indeed Coorte painted what seems to be the same bunch of asparagus several times – there is a version in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, for example – and the bowl of strawberries appears in at least two other pictures.
This particular combination is unique in Coorte's work. There may be no significance in his choice other than the aesthetic appeal of the different textures, and the strong, clear red and green colour contrasts. But a neat sequence does emerge from his selection: asparagus spears shoot directly from the earth, strawberries grow a few centimetres above it, gooseberry bushes mature at about one metre high and plums hang highest of all. Perhaps in his highly controlled, pared down way, Coorte was hinting at the rich variety which emerged from the market gardens and orchards of the Netherlands from soil to tree between May and August each year.
