FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR 1870 - 1871, Uniforms and Equipment of the German and French Armies, by Markus Stein, Gerhard Bauer, Louis Delpérier, Laurent Mirouze & Christophe Pommier.
FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR 1870 - 1871, Uniforms and Equipment of the German and French Armies.
Markus Stein & Gerhard Bauer (volume 1)
Louis Delpérier, Laurent Mirouze & Christophe Pommier (volume 2)
The last of the so-called 'German wars of unification' began in July 1870. With Prussia marched not only the troops of the north German states, but from the very beginning the armies of all other German states, including the south German kingdoms. By September 1870 this 'multinational' power, initially consisting of three armies, was able to force the Imperial French Army to retreat from the borders in a series of costly battles and finally defeat it at Sedan and encircle it in Metz. After Napoleon III abdicated, the French Republic proclaimed on 4th September continued the struggle. A war of princes became a people's war, which in many ways anticipated the wars of the 20th century, including partisan warfare and the shooting of civilians.
The war of 1870–71 began disappearing from public consciousness in Germany even before 1945. What remain today are at best vague ideas of colourful, harmless battles and the name Otto von Bismarck. Forgotten, however, are not only the real suffering by the soldiers of both sides and the civilian population, but also knowledge about the appearance of the two opposing armies. In the Franco-Prussian War, German armies for the last time fought in different uniforms and, contrary to popular opinion, did not form a 'universal' army of spiked helmets. As the German armies continued wearing their uniforms after the war ended, more trophies from this war made their way into museums than contemporary German uniforms and pieces of equipment. In this volume, therefore, it is not just the original pieces held in public and private collections that are illustrated and described. They are combined with historical photographs, paintings and images to create for the first time a comprehensive compendium concerning the organisation and uniforms of the German field armies of the war of 1870–71. It is complemented by a book about the French armies of the Empire and the Republic.
Although it is less obvious than in Germany, since the two World Wars the conflict of 1870 has largely been forgotten in France. However, few events have been more decisive in the history of this country. The reign of Napoleon III had raised France to the status of a great power in the Europe of 1860. 'Master on land' at the end of the Crimean and Italian wars, by means of external operations carried out on a global scale, France followed closely behind Great Britain to become a 'master of the seas'. Nonetheless, this prosperous country, once again dominant, declared war on Prussia and paid for it by losing its continental pre-eminence forever. Additionally, the defeat allowed a bourgeois, rural and moderate republic to gain a lasting hold during this major political and social upheaval.
With the help of collections that, despite the richness of this national heritage, have often been difficult to present, this book aims to revive the incredible diversity of the French armies of 1870. This diversity is illustrated in the ranks of the imperial army defeated during that summer, with the Imperial Guard, its elite regiments and the units of the African army. It is also visible in the regiments de Marche (provisional), Mobiles, National Guards and Francs-Tireurs, that is to say the armies of the National Defence, which continued the war during the republican phase of the conflict. Ultimately, the uniforms, equipment, paintings and photographs presented in this work make it possible to examine more closely the soldier's daily life, the prevalent military values, the ideas of the time, and undoubtedly also a part of France's national identity.

Super Bowl 36 Rematch?
It's a Sunday evening with chilling temperatures outside. 100,000 people screaming down into the ground below. The night of February 3rd has finally arrived. People all over the nation waiting for the two heavy-weight offenses to duel in the Mercedes Benz Stadium.

Lombardi Trophy
The number two offense led by Sean McVay faces off against the number four offense led by Tom Brady. Everyone has been waiting for this matchup for two weeks now! This season New England carried doubters the entire year. They went a surprising 11-5 and started the season 1-2. Brady and Co. lost to the Dolphins, Titans, and Lions which put the doubt in everyone's head. This wasn't the New England Patriots everyone was used to. But now, they are here. "America's worst nightmare is back," as one analysis says.
On the other side of the ball is the dominating, high flying, remarkable, Los Angeles Rams. No team has managed to stop the Rams offense from putting up remarkable numbers. They've stomped on any team and take advantages of the defenses. Goff and the Rams read the defenses and hurt them on the ground, through the middle, and down deep. But it's not the offense that has fans and analysts projecting the Rams to win. It is LA's defense carried by defensive linemen, Aaron Donald. The Rams All-Pro Aaron Donald lead the league in sacks with 20.5 which set the season sacks record by a defensive tackle.

Todd Gurley II Running the Ball
In the postseason, New England has not allowed a single sack to any team. They also haven't given up any turnovers to the opposing team. New England has been nothing shy of lights out in the postseason. Belichick has managed to involve the ground game in the postseason averaging 161.7 yards and destroying any team in front of them. Belichick is known for how well he schemes against upcoming teams and creating the best possible game plan available. Brady is 5-5 in the super bowl and Belichick is 5-3 whereas Jared Goff and Sean McVay have, well, no super bowl appearances.
Bill Belichick Calling Plays
The patriots stomp the rams in experience and are looking forward to taking home their sixth super bowl title. But the Rams are coming in red hot looking to take revenge on the Patriots and take back what was theirs in 2001 where they had a crushing loss to the Patriots 17-20. Will McVay be the youngest coach to ever win a super bowl in NFL history? Or will it be the old time vets Brady and Belichick thing an NFL record for most super bowl wins in NFL history. It all comes down to February 3rd!

Toyota to expand Japanese plants in preparation for hydrogen mass production
Toyota is to build a new unit at its Honsha plant in Japan to accommodate the mass production of hydrogen fuel cell stacks.
The company's Shimoyama factory will also gain a new line to manufacture high-pressure hydrogen tanks as the company looks to build on the technology already introduced in its Mirai model. The fuel cell stack is the component in an FCEV which generates electricity from a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, powering the car with zero harmful exhaust emissions.
The ability to mass-produce these components at scale is a critical part of reducing system costs, therefore helping to make fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) widely available, according to a statement released by the carmaker.
To increase fuel cell stack output, Toyota will move production within its Honsha plant to a new eight-floor, high-tech facility, close to the site of the company's original car factory, which opened in 1938.
Production of high-pressure hydrogen tanks will be handled by a new, dedicated line to be added to the nearby Shimoyama plant. Previously, tanks were assembled at Honsha on a smaller scale. They are made of extra-thick carbon fibre and are built to withstand major impacts.
Construction is underway at Shimoyama, and the exterior of the new building at Honsha has been completed, ready for the interior to be fitted out. Further details will be announced later, ahead of operations starting around 2020.
Fuel cells are now a mature technology and ready for wider distribution. Toyota took the market lead in introducing a mass-produced fuel cell saloon, Mirai, in December 2014 and since then annual production and sales have increased each year, from around 700 vehicles in 2015 to about 2,000 in 2016 and approximately 3,000 in 2017.
To encourage the more widespread use of hydrogen-powered, zero emission vehicles, they need to be made more popular and widely available by the 2020s. Toyota aims to sell 30,000 FCEVs annually from around that time.
At present, the Mirai is sold in 11 countries: Japan, the USA and nine countries in Europe, including the UK. To help develop an environment that will allow FCEVs to be sold in more markets in the future, demonstration tests of Mirai are underway in Australia, Canada and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Toyota is examining the demand for FCEVs while continuing to help with initiatives to promote hydrogen infrastructure development.
In Japan, Toyota aims to reach sales of at least 1,000 FCEVs per month and more than 10,000 annually from around 2020. Sales regions in the country will be expanded from the current four major metropolitan areas to make the car accessible to more customers.
In the future, Toyota will expand its FCEV product range and continue to strengthen product appeal, aiming to bring vehicle costs down. It will also keep working with the Toyota Group and other companies to develop a hydrogen supply infrastructure and build a low-carbon hydrogen supply chain. Through these and other initiatives, the company is playing an active part in bringing about a hydrogen-based society.


The Freefly MoVI M5 accessory that on-the-go cinematographers love most is the MōVI Ring. This bundled accessory offer starts with the MōVI Ring, but also adds the Toad in the Hole Quick Release, Male Toad Adapter, and a Right Angle HDMI cable.
A savings of $210 compared to buying each item individually!
The MōVI Ring is a lightweight, rigid carbon fiber frame designed to provide additional points of contact for an operator holding the MōVI M5, M10, or M15. The MōVI Ring can either mount directly to the MōVI M5, M10, or M15 but also works in combination with the Toad In The Hole accessory.
The Toad In The Hole Quick Release is a sleek, lightweight, low-profile quick release unit, which provides an easy mount and release solution for your MōVI. It allows the operator to remove the MōVI from the handle assembly and attach to any other method of filming carrier, such as a crane, jib, or car mount (with a Toad installed) in a matter of seconds. Fiddling around with alignment is not required when engaging the Quick Release - just attach and rotate to the desired angle (from 0-360°) for shooting. The Quick Release uses a clamp to secure the MōVI. This clamp, along with the secondary release button, are used to release the MōVI.
The new, super-flexible Freefly Right Angle Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable is designed to send an HDMI signal from a camera with Mini HDMI Out to a monitor on the MōVI's top handlebar without the stiffness and weight of a traditional HDMI cable.

Q: Integrar nodejs (frontend) e C ,Erlang, Go...(backend) Estou com um sistema para ser desenvolvido que vai precisar lidar com uma grande quantidade de requisições simultâneas, onde cada uma dessas requisições vai, provavelmente, envolver alguma tarefa que exige bastante processamento.
Pesquisando por meios de como lidar com essa situação eu cheguei a conclusão (óbvia?) de que a solução seria delegar tarefas que exigem mais processamento pra um programa escrito numa linguagem adequada para tal.
Leigo como sou, tive a ideia de substituir o PHP por nodejs e deixar que o servidor redirecione as requisições para páginas e elementos estáticos para o nodejs, e depois da página carregada qualquer tarefa pesada seria requisitada via ajax e o servidor redirecionaria essas requisições para os programas escritos em uma linguagem compilada.
Gostaria de:
1 - Opiniões. Essa é realmente uma decisão inteligente? Viável?
2 - Como eu poderia fazer essa integração entre as duas, ou mais, linguagens?
Obs.: Sei programar em PHP. As outras linguagens envolveriam estudos, e/ou contratações.
A ideia de trocar o PHP por nodejs veio de algumas pesquisas que indicaram maior eficiência desse último em lidar com requisições simultâneas, caso eu esteja equivocado, por favor me avisem.
Obrigado

A: Existem algumas possibilidades para trabalhar com requisições que exigem processamento pesado. Vou basear minha resposta supondo que você está utilizando nodejs como frontend server.
Primeiro você terá que decidir se a requisição que exige processamento será síncrona (usuário espera resposta do servidor) ou assíncrona ( usuário envia a requisição e esquece dela... em algum momento o servidor termina de processar e manda uma notificação para o cliente, por websocket ou long pooling do cliente).
Baseado na resposta da pergunta anterior a arquitetura do seu back será diferente. Se você escolher fazer síncrono, terá que garantir que a resposta não irá demorar muito para ser gerada. Portanto acho que a melhor opção nesse caso é fazer uma biblioteca compilada e fazer um wrapper pra ela para o nodejs e fazer a chamada direto no node. No caso de ter escolhido a opção assíncrona. Você poderá optar por utilizar filas para distribuir a carga de processamento para outros processos e deixar o servidor nodejs livre pra entender outras requisições.
Ao utilizar uma fila o nodejs jogaria as mensagens contendo as informações necessárias para fazer o processamento para dentro da fila e outros processos (Workers) estariam monitorando a fila para pegar essas mensagens e de fato fazer o processamento.
Você pode também utilizar filas com requisições síncronas, mas terá que garantir que você sempre tenha workers suficiente para dar vazão a fila rapidamente.
Alguns exemplos de filas seriam: Zeromq, RabbitMQ, IronMQ, SQS(AWS)... Existem muitas outras, tem que ver qual preenche melhor os seus requisitos.
Algumas vantagens da abordagem com filas são:

*

*Desacoplamento entre os módulos

*Fácil de escalar

*A maior parte das filas possuem uma interface http, o que torna simple utiliza-las em qualquer linguagem. (ZeroMQ sendo uma excessão por ser uma biblioteca e não um programa, mas possui wrapper para muitas linguagens então dá na mesma).

*Filas amortecem o impacto de picos de requisições.

Quanto a parte de síncrono vs assíncrono vou aprofundar um pouco mais para não gerar dúvidas.
Existem dois níveis em que você deve escolher se a chamada será assíncrona ou síncrona. Primeiro nível é a requisição do cliente para o servidor. O cliente vai esperar a resposta ou ele vai fazer a requisição e ir fazer outras coisas enquanto o servidor processa ela? Segundo nível é como o servidor vai tratar a própria operação q ele deve fazer ao receber uma requisição. no caso de síncrona o servidor será capaz de atender uma requisição por processo/thread. no caso de assíncrona o servidor é capaz de atender várias requisições por thread.
No caso do node por ser javascript e possuir apenas uma thread que executa seu código, a linguagem te força a utilizar as operações do servidor que necessitam de I/O assincronamente. Acabou que esse modelo consegue atender mais requisições do que o modelo síncrono + uma requisição por thread.
Quando perguntei sobre a requisição ser assíncrona ou síncrona no seu caso, estava me referindo a primeira opção e não a segunda. Como vc usa node todas as suas operações internas do servidor que utilizam I/O serão assíncronas. O que você deve decidir é se o seu usuário receberá a resposta dele na hora, com a resposta da requisição HTTP que ele fizer, ou depois,  seguindo uma das 3 opções:

*

*Consultando o servidor com pooling pra saber se a operação já foi completada.

*Recebendo uma notificação via websocket.

*Quando der refresh da página.

From Toronto to Tocumen Copa are starting direct flights in June - fantastic but still getting across Panama city is a frustration.
Another option, and we intend to do this next time we visit beautiful Morrillio and settle a few cheap beers(cheap only in price) with Ron is Air Canada direct from Toronto to San Jose Costa Rica (believe it or not with Air Chance it is C$416 Tango style), transfer to a puddle hopper and fly direct onto David - from David hopefully the drive to Morrillio will be quicker and less eventful - Ron says it is a more scenic drive and should be less painful.
Panama City - actually most major cities - traffic jam - Grrrrrr!!
 If anyone has a humorous travel experience or suggestions(backed by experience - he,he) on how to get to paradise within the above constraints please share them with everyone - there is bound to be someone out there who knows how to do this better!!!

In Its Feud With Donald Trump, Fox News Makes Journalism A Low Priority
Posted by Ellen -7834.60pc on January 31, 2016 · Flag
Nothing has underscored Fox News' disregard for journalistic principles like its feud with Donald Trump. Oh, the network has grumbled about them every now and then but mostly Fox has attempted to deal with Trump as a political colleague and given him a pass on his attempts to manipulate the press, often with vile attacks on Fox's own Megyn Kelly.
I've written repeatedly about Fox's anemic defense once Trump began attacking. In the immediate aftermath of the first Fox News Republican debate that started it all, CEO Roger Ailes ran from the heat, making the not-very-plausible claim that he had nothing to do with the controversial debate questions. Finally, after several weeks of personal attacks on Kelly, Ailes weakly asked for an apology, saying, "Donald Trump rarely apologizes, although in this case, he should."
Meanwhile, most of the rest of the Fox talking heads were slobbering over Trump, without a care for how he was treating Kelly.
It all came to a head last week when Fox released a statement mocking Trump's complaints about Kelly moderating the next Fox News debate:
"We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings."
There's been some debate as to whether or not that was the right tone for Fox to have taken (Trump became so offended, he definitively dropped out of the debate) but what's indisputable is that Fox was mocking Trump's political chops. That's bad enough for a news network. But perhaps worse, the politics seemed to have driven any and all thoughts about journalism out of the picture.
The same mindset was shown during Bill O'Reilly's jaw-dropping interview with Trump. O'Reilly futilely lectured and cajoled Trump to reconsider his decision by arguing that it would be good for his candidacy. O'Reilly showed almost no concern about Trump's attempts to dictate to a news network nor about his attacks on Kelly. In fact, O'Reilly urged Trump "to let 'em have it right between the eyes" if he didn't like a question.
On today's Reliable Sources, Mediaite founder Dan Abrams laughably lauded Fox because, in his mind, "Roger Ailes got to stand up to Trump and he got to defend Megyn Kelly."
Fortunately, later in the show, The Baltimore Sun's media critic, David Zurawik came out with the truth:
ZURAWIK: Back in August, I started hammering Fox, …saying they should have been much stronger in their defense of [Kelly]. They had the journalistic high ground and Trump was a hot dog and they should have come at him the way they did when Juan Williams was fired by NPR. It was tribal the way they came out in his defense. They didn't do that.
In fairness, Ailes put out a statement. But they didn't rally around her that way because they – and I believe it was because they didn't want to alienate Trump, they wanted him on their other shows for ratings and it was a big mistake. And for Dan and some of these people now to say, "Oh, Ailes made this big statement on behalf of journalism" – no, he should have done it in August, September, October, November and December and shut this guy down.
Host Brian Stelter asked if Ailes shouldn't get some credit for doing it now.
Short answer: no.
Zurawik: I think now he had no choice and he took the wrong tone. He should have come out, journalistic high ground, saying, "You know what? Remember when Barack Obama said we couldn't cover events at the White House because we weren't a journalistic institution? And we fought him?" And by the way, I fought on behalf of Fox for that. "Well, now Donald Trump can't tell us who our moderators are gonna be." Same principle, same journalistic principle. He didn't do it that way. He did it with a snarky, sophomoric, dinky, little doofus remark thing they put out of the press office.
Meanwhile, the Fox/Trump feud continues. As the discussion noted, Fox's pandering and attacking Trump has not stopped him from driving a wedge through the conservative community that Fox has so long dominated.
Where things stand now, as per Stelter: "Above the surface, there might be sort of a tenuous truce now between Fox and Trump. He was on Fox News Sunday this morning. But under the surface, there is a whole lot of animosity, a lot of bitterness on both sides. And, of course, Trump continues to use Twitter to take swings at the network."
Wowza.

FYI, Ellen, at the end of Sunday night's special pre-Iowa "Special Report," Bret Baier rendered the Fox slogan as, "fair, balanced and unfraid." Oh, my. What do you suppose that refers to?
I have no idea if this was a one-time thing or it's the official new slogan since the blow-up with Trump because I almost never make it all the way through a Fox show to the end, but keep an eye out for it.
And btw, nary a discouraging word about Trump was said during the double-length "political panel" of Brit Hume, Steve Hayes (two of the "establishment" types the Trump-lovin' GOP base has been complaining about), A.B. Stoddard, who seems to be there for her contrarian views about everything, and of course, from perpetual Trump fanboy Charles Hurt of the Wash. Examiner.

Aisles has gotta be feeling his age about now. Between Murdoch's sons on one side and the Donald on the other. He probably feels like, "Ya can't trust anybody under 70!!".


There has been no global warming now for 17 years and nine months.
According to the RSS satellite data, whose value for April 2014 is just in, the global warming trend in the 17 years 9 years since August 1996 is zero. The 212 months without global warming represents more than half the 423-month satellite data record, which began in January 1979. No one now in high school has lived through global warming.
Add to that this chart of sea ice extent where the Antarctic sea ice extent is growing and well outside, not just the average extent for 1981-2010 but now way more than 2 standard deviations.
Part of East Antarctica is more vulnerable than expected to a thaw that could trigger an unstoppable slide of ice into the ocean and raise world sea levels for thousands of years, a new study shows.
Antarctica, the size of the United States and Mexico combined, holds enough ice to raise sea levels by some 57 metres if it ever all melted.
"It sounds plausible," Tony Payne, a professor of glaciology at Bristol University who was not involved in the study, said of the findings. The region is not an immediate threat, he said, but "could contribute metres to sea level rise over thousands of years".
Ice melts at temperatures above zero degrees celsius…even in summer the temperature at the South Pole averages -25.9 for the highs and the warmest ever in summer it was still -7. The chances of all of Antarctica melting away is bloody sero, and yet these muppets still go on about scenarios that cannot and will not ever exist.
In any case even if their nightmare, catastrophic scenario was true it would take 200 years for it to happen…you don't think humanity would find a solution in that time?

Selected Adlib Address at the Inauguration of the Hun Sen-Chhnuon Meanchei Junior College in the District of Preah Net Preah, Banteay Meanchei Province
… This is a another opportunity that I have been given consideration and appreciation by our people and monks in the district of Chhnuon Meanchei and all these will be a source of encouragement for me to continue to improve our country's from a state of scarcity to that of progress. I wish to seek an understanding of our people in Banteay Meanchei as I have not come to this province earlier. I wish to also apologise our people who have been living along the national road 6 from Poipet to Siemreap because of the time consuming road construction in comparison to other roads in the country. I would not escape my responsibility whenever and wherever development has not been timely. In fact the part of national road 6 between Poipet and Siemreap was once renovated but again it was brought down to the state of destruction once again. Now we have been provided with financial assistance to rehabilitate the road and once it is rehabilitated, maintaining it will be an issue for us.
… The groundbreaking ceremony would be taking place just weeks away as we have collected in all about US$ 75 million from ADB, OPEC and the counterpart fund provided by the Royal Government of Cambodia. In fact our aim to rehabilitate this section of the national road 6 has failed three times already. First, HE Khi Taing Lim introduced a construction company to me. He then signed a contract with the company and after few machines was brought in, no works had been achieved and we annulled the agreement with the company. Second, another company signed in but again we dismissed it. We annulled one more company before they came into agreement and I had instructed HE Keat Chhon to speed up negotiation with the ADB and OPEC. While we are in the bidding process, I would instruct that the Ministry of Economy and Finance provide maintenance fund of the section of the national road 6.
… I have many requests to attend to in this province but let me solve some of them and the rest should be addressed later. One of the commune heads from this province, Mr. Uch Prak, has made his need heard in one of the CPP Extraordinary Plenum and his need was school buildings. That was why I had sent three schools here in the beginning. Later on there was a need to bring the school to a level of Junior College and the CPP's provincial committee decided to purchase more land and level it so that more school buildings could be built. I used to say that we have to make good investment in human resource as "gold dug from the ground could be sold out, but never could that from the brain." In order to guarantee that an economy will be knowledge- and know-how-based, education is the right thing to start with.
… As HE Governor Thach Khorn and HE Deputy Governor An Sum said, Banteay Meanchei has been the province born at the end of the wars. The province went through the first war period between 1970 and 1975, the second war period between 1975 and 1979 and the last one between 1979 and 1993. We may also say between 1993 and 1998 was also one of the hard periods. As of present the whole Kingdom is no more a fighting but developing place because of the realization of the win-win policy. On this occasion I am proudly noting that "Cambodia is enjoying fully its peace and is making steps of development on the path of democracy and pluralism." In days to come we will have an electoral campaign started." Therefore I would like to take this solemn opportunity to make an appeal to the authorities of all levels to closely monitor the installation of party signs because flying by helicopter to all over our country, I noticed that some party signs were supported by small wood and they were not strong enough to keep the signs standing in face of win. So if any party signs are about to fall, HE Governor and provincial authorities should notify the party heads reinstall them.
… There should not be any groundless blames of one party trying to bring down the others' and if it happens as the Prime Minister I would be concerned. All the 23 parties have the rights to hang up their party signs but they should consult and seek agreement from our people first if they want to have their signs hung up in front of the people's house. I bring this matter into concern because in my duty as the Prime Minister I have to control the situation so that a neutral, secure, safe environment could be attained for a free, fair, just, non-violent and threat-free and intimidation-free election.
On that occasion Samdech Hun Sen offered an electric generator and its accessories to the pagoda od Phalkirisambat, four million Riel each to the pagodas of Prasat Srah Chhnuor, Pur Keo, Antungsar, Purmeas and Spean Kam, a set of computers and printers and thirty sewing machines plus an electric generator and solar energized lighting system to the Hun Sen-Chhnuon Meanchei Junior College, a school building of five classrooms and a set of computers and printers, TVs, an electric generator and accessories, a sewing class building with fifty sewing machines and solar lighting system to the Junior College of Chub Vari, a school building of five classrooms to the Primary School of Poi Samraong, a school building of six classrooms to the Primary School of Rum Peak, a school building of six classrooms to the Primary School of Samraong Thum, a school building of five classrooms to the Primary School of Sreh Lech, a school building of six classrooms to the Primary School of Choeung Keav, a school building of five classrooms to the College of Thmor Puok, a school building of six classrooms to the College of Komping Puoy, a school building of five classrooms to the Primary School of Svay Sar, a school building of five classrooms to the Junior College of Phkoam, a two storey school building of 16 classrooms with fifty sewing machines to the Hun Sen-Mungkulborei College and various other offers.

You only have to spend a few moments on social media to see how all of us love looking back at our childhood and young adulthood. So much like springtime, life was new and almost everything was a first in our lives. Somehow the newness of life leaves a lasting impression on all of us.
Remembering is good for us. It reminds us how far we've come and what we have overcome. It also reminds of us the people, the places and the times we enjoyed with family and friends. We can remember when we were in our "prime." You know, when you looked your best and felt your best and did amazing things.
The older we get, the more memories we have of yesterday. I love looking back on the springs in my own past and all the wonders of the blossoming flowers and trees and children and animals. Now that I'm a granny, I don't have to look back too far to enjoy sweet memories. Those grandkids are growing up so fast! I have to put my thinking cap on just to remember how old each one is today. No, I don't have dementia yet but I do have 10 grandkids and four of them are teenagers!
Our small town hosts a Kite Day once a year and I've been taking the grandkids since they were babies. It gives me such a thrill. Remembering the joy they had watching their homemade kites soar through the beautiful spring sky is something I will always remember. I chased them around with my camera and I'm so glad I did. I have more trouble now doing that with my arthritis so those photos are gold to me.
What fond memories do you have of spring times past?
Sharing those memories can be the most fun. I often tell my grandkids about their parents when they were young. With spring in the air, plans for summer camps and day trips have been popular with my grands. I shared with a few of my grands about when my oldest went off to Boys Scout Camp and I had to make him take a bar of soap, wash cloth and a towel along. When I went to pick him up, I had to walk the grounds of that camp. The dirt was six inches thick and the consistency of talcum powder. When I found Isaac, he had turned the same color as the dirt! I asked him why he didn't use his wash items.
I can't imagine what he might have looked like had he not used that stuff.
The spring times of my childhood always included walking in the tall grass. We lived way out in the country and the many rains brought green to everything you could see. The creek would overflow and the wildflowers would begin to bloom. I would bring huge armfuls of those wildflowers back home to my mama. I loved splashing along the creekside and wading in as far as I could. I don't believe I've ever felt freer than I did on those days. Just me, my dog and a beautiful world to explore to my heart's content.
Sit down with your older loved one and ask them about the spring times in their past. You will enjoy the stories and they will love telling them. Even if they have mild to moderate dementia, they'll most likely be able to remember those special days when they were young and springtime was in the air.


The Missouri House has adopted legislation calling for the abandonment of Common Core educational standards.
The House approved legislation sponsored by Representative Kurt Bahr of O'Fallon that would require the development of new academic performance standards "in place of the common core state standards."
The legislation, House Bill 1490, was endorsed by the House on a vote of 132-19, and has now been heard by the Senate Education Committee.
Representative Bahr's bill was considerably reworked during debate on the House floor. His original bill would have prohibited the State Board of Education from implementing the Common Core State Standards."
The State Board of Education voted in 2009 to implement the controversial Common Core standards. The Board's decision followed unilateral action by Governor Jay Nixon to enlist Missouri in the Common Core national consortium.
The Common Core standards have been pioneered by the National Governors Association in concert with the Council of Chief State School Officers. They have been vehemently opposed by many social conservatives and proponents of local control of public education.
Under the revised bill approved by the House, the State Board of Education will be required to appoint "work groups" by October 1st of this year. The work groups would be charged with the development of new statewide academic performance standards.
The new recommended standards must be submitted to the State Board of Education by October 1st of 2015. The State Education Board would then be responsible for adopting and implementing new educational standards to take effect for the 2016-2017 school year.
Eight different work groups would be established covering the subject areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and history and governments.
The 14 members of each work group would be selected from teachers's organizations, school boards, and school administrators. The Governor, Lt. Governor, and legislative leaders would also make appointments. Each work group would include four parents of students currently enrolled in the public schools.
The Senate Education Committee has already heard similar legislation sponsored by Senator John Lamping of St. Louis County.
"The intent of the legislation is to begin an open and transparent process to ultimately adopt Missouri standards," Lamping says. "It was because of the lack of openness and transparency that we are where we are today."
The subject of student religious freedom reached a flash point in the Potosi School District in Washington County this past week when two high school students claim they were told that their Bibles were not welcome at school.
15-year old Kiela English was reportedly walking down a hallway at Potosi High School with a friend with their Bibles open. English says they were discussing a passage from Scripture. She says that a teacher then approached them and told them that "this wasn't the place" for a Bible and that they had to put it away, and that "they can't be pushing their religion on people."
The incident prompted a vigorous viral reponse and media coverage after English's mother, Angela English, posted news of the incident on Facebook. "I was outraged. They weren't pushing religion. They were two friends walking down the hallway. There's so many other things at school [teachers] could be looking for, but they targeted two girls with a Bible."
Students responded to the incident by bringing their Bibles to school en masse the following day. "We asked the children to bring their Bibles and carry them--not to preach or shove religion in anyone's face--but to show they have the right to carry the Bible," said Angela English.
"When I dropped my daughter off at school, there were kids waving their Bibles at us," Angela English observed. "I told my daughter that if anyone gives her any problems, that she should tell them she wants her mother present."
Kiela's friend, who remains unidentified, states that she has been written up in the past for reading her Bible at school.
Potosi R-3 Superintendent Randy Davis says they are investigating the recent incident. "We have absolutely no problem with students bringing their Bible. We firmly believe in freedom of religion and students practicing their religion and their faith...We would have no concern with that at all."
If the incident occurred as alleged, it would be an oppressive violation of the students' First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. Federal courts have made clear that students do not shed their rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion at the schoolhouse door.
The incident would also be a violation of the religious freedom provisions of the Missouri Constitution. Missouri voters approved a religious liberty amendment in August of 2012 that states that public school students have the "right to free exercise of religious expression, without interference, as long as such prayer or other expression is private and voluntary..."
This latest controversy illustrates the importance of passing legislation currently being debated by the Missouri General Assembly called the "Religious Student Liberties Act." Sponsored by Representative Elijah Haahr, House Bill 1303 was approved by the Missouri House by a vote of 131-16. The proposal will be heard in the Senate Education Committee tomorrow.
The bill would guarantee that students may engage in religious activities or religious expression before, during, and after the school day "in the same manner and to the same extent that students may engage in nonreligious activities or expression..." Public school students would be expressly prohibited from "discriminating against students or parents on the basis of a religious viewpoint or religious expression."
Incidents like that which reportedly occurred at Potosi High School are often the result of misunderstanding by public school teachers and administrators. They falsely misconstrue the constitutional theory of the "separation of church and state" to require the exclusion of any form of religious expression from public school activities or public school facilities.
Representative Haahr's bill would be of tremendous benefit in this regard. It would encourage school districts to establish formal policies to spell out for the benefit of staff members and students the scope of the religious liberties enjoyed by students in their local schools.
We encourage you to contact your state senator to request their vote for House Bill 1303. There are four weeks left in the legislative session, and it is important that this bill receive expedited attention by the Missouri Senate.

Laura Leeson
Laura Leeson is a WBFF Pro Bikini Athlete. She earned her Pro Card during her first 2 years of competing, by winning the WBFF World Championships in 2014.
But it hasn't been an easy ride – Laura's suffered from self-image issues, which caused unhealthy eating habits and over-training.
This is her story:
"Sport and training have always been a massive part of my life since such an early age and I wouldn't have it any other way, it's a lifestyle."
Full Name: Laura Leeson
Weight Height Nationality Profession

Nationality English
Profession WBFF Pro Bikini Athlete, Personal Trainer
Alias Laura Madge
"I take regular progress pictures as I find this is the best way to see improvements."
2013 UKBFF MuscleTalk Championships, Bedford – 1st
2014 WBFF World Championships, Las Vegas – 1st (Pro Card)
"I was a gymnast from ages 5 to 23, I had to retire due to a tear in my rotator cuff – I was utterly devastated by this, so I turned my focus to the gym."
Born and raised in England, Laura began practising gymnastics from the age of 5. She grew to love this sport, and dedicated all of her teenage years to developing her talent.
By the time she was in her early twenties, Laura had become a high-level gymnast; at this point, her family believed that she would become a professional.
At the age of 23, Laura suffered an accident during a gymnastics performance. She tore her rotator cuff, unable to continue her passion.
Devastated, Laura turned her attention to training in the gym – hopeful of rehabilitating her shoulder to return to gymnastics.
After focusing her energy into recovering from her injury, Laura soon fell in-love with weight lifting. Although she'd always had a lean figure due to the demanding nature of gymnastics, she added muscle mass and toned her body.
Not long after, her friends began to notice her incredible progression in the gym; they started encouraging her to consider entering bodybuilding shows.
With this in mind, Laura stepped up her game, in order to get ready for life as a bikini athlete.
First Competition
After a year of intense preparation, Laura was ready for her first competition. She entered the 2013 UKBFF MuscleTalk Championships at Bedford, in the Bodyfitness category.
Laura's determination and hard work paid off. Her figure impressed the judges, and she placed 1st in her debut show.
This victory made the former gymnast realize that she could make a name for herself in the fitness industry.
Laura spent the next 6 months continuing her fast progression in the gym, beginning to lift bigger weights – intent on bringing a better package to her next competition.
Her success in her first competition had gained her access into the WBFF World Championships – and also a chance at winning the elusive Pro Card.
Almost a year after her debut performance, Laura stepped on stage at the 2014 WBFF Worlds in Las Vegas; with her sights set on becoming a professional bikini athlete.
She surpassed all expectations for a new-comer by beating more experienced bodybuilders, and placing first. But that wasn't all.
By winning the international competition, Laura earned her Pro Card.
The former gymnast had become a professional WBFF athlete during the first 2 years of her competitive career – an impressive achievement. But the rigorous preparation and mental stress took it's toll on Laura.
She began suffering from self-image problems, becoming depressed that she couldn't maintain her stage-ready figure all-year-round. Laura became obsessive about eating clean, and for a short period, her life was swallowed by her dedication to bodybuilding.
At this point, Laura's partner began to realize the extent of her issues, and started to help her overcome her problems.
Over time, Laura recovered from the toxic period of her life – thanks to the help of her partner. She stopped weighing food and allowed herself cheat meals once a week.
Now that she was back-on-track on her fitness journey, Laura wanted to help others get fit and prepare for shows in a healthy manner; she didn't want anyone to make the same mistakes as herself.
In 2015, the WBFF Pro began coaching aspiring bikini athletes, using her website as a tool to reach people around the world. By 2016, she's successfully prepped numerous competitors, even helping them earn Pro Cards themselves.
"I have stopped taking so many 'selfies'. This was a massive part of my problem as I was using these pictures to get positive attention and feedback which was a massive part of what was fueling my negative behaviour towards my bodyfat and nutrition."
"I only listen to music whilst doing cardio as the beat of the music helps me to keep going, whilst helping me to "zone out'."
Laura aims to lift weights in the gym 5 days per week to further develop and maintain her incredible figure. Her favorite exercises are; deadlifts, squats, and pull-ups.
In terms of cardio, Laura mixes things up so she doesn't get bored of a certain exercise. She'll perform LISS (low intensity steady state) cardio on an empty stomach, or HIIT (high intensity interval training) to keep her metabolism high.
"I have stopped weighing and prepping my food. I still eat healthy 90% of the time but if I want a biscuit I can now have one without beating myself up."
Laura knows the importance of eating healthy and clean, but also the negative effects that a seriously strict diet can have. She aims to eat 4 meals a day, to keep her body fuelled to grow – however, she lets herself enjoy some treats, when she has cravings.
Her diet consists of mainly lean proteins, green vegetables, complex carbs, and healthy fats. Here's a list of the foods she eats on a daily basis:
"I take progress pictures to remind myself of where I have come from in such a short space of time."
Laura's main influences are her friends, family, and partner – she credits them, especially her partner, in helping her to overcome difficult situations in her life.
However, she states that her main motivation comes from within:
"Yes I do set myself goals, I think this is so important as it gives you drive and motivation."
What we can learn from Laura Leeson
Laura's story has taught us to never take anything too seriously. She made her diet too strict and over-trained herself in the gym, to the point of exhaustion; this caused her self-image issues.
However, Laura's determination to succeed is inspirational. Her work ethic resulted in her winning the WBFF World Championship and earning her Pro Card during her first two years of competing.

"Secret Jewish government" plans atomic bomb on Japan

Syrian drama series, broadcast on Al-Manar (Hezbollah), Nov. 18, 2003; Channel 2 TV (Iran), Sept. 2009: "Before we establish [the state] and finish the [world] War, we have to settle the account with Japan. I asked our people in America to put pressure on President Truman to use the atomic bomb for the first time."

The title, Lord, is the translation of three Greek words Kurios is by far the most frequent word used. It means authority and lordship as the result of ownership "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor. 6:20). Despotes , another word used, but only twice used of Christ. (See 2 Pet. 2:1; Jude 4.) It is derived from deo , to bind, and pous , the foot. It has the meaning of unlimited despotic authority, which surely the Lord is entitled to. Thirdly, there is the word, Rabboni , which is the Aramaic for the Hebrew Rabbi , meaning my Master or Teacher. This occurs twice, once being translated, Lord (Mark 10:51), and once transliterated, which means "express the words of one language in the alphabetic characters of another" (John 20:16).
Then, again, take the title, Master . It is thrice the translation of the word, Karim . Twice we are reminded in the epistles that we have a Master in heaven. Everyone, the most exalted in this world should be in subjection to the Lord. In our treatment of those whom we may employ, we should never forget the fact that we have a Master in heaven. May we ever do His holy will. Despotes is five times translated Master as applying to the Lord. Otkodespotes (that is master of a house ) is applied by the Lord to Himself in parables that he enunciated. Epistates occurs five times as addressed to the Lord, and means Superintendent or Commander. Didaekalos occurs fifty-eight times, twice explained as meaning Rabbi. This word means Teacher , or, as we should say, Doctor . Our Lord, you may remember, sat among the doctors of the law, asking them questions, when a youth. Kathegetes means a Guide or Leader , and is used three times, the Lord applying the title to Himself in Matthew 23:8, 10. Then we have the title Rabbi , the Hebrew term for Teacher, transliterated into the Greek, as well as the Aramaic Rabboni .
There is in all this a practical challenge to the heart of every Christian as to how far the Lord is really Lord to him or her in daily life and in every way. It is possible to be content to receive the blessings of the gospel, and yet to live self-centred and selfish lives, and not allow the Lord to be our Lord, our Master, our blessed Despot, our Guide, our Leader. If this question is raised in our hearts the study of these titles of our Lord will not have been in vain.
We come now to the titles, "Jesus Christ," and "Christ Jesus." Of course the word, "Jesus," is not a title, but His personal name. All others are titles. This we shall refer to later.
The expression, "Jesus Christ," varies in its significance in the Gospels and the Epistles. In the Gospels it sets forth "Jesus"  as the Christ, the Anointed of God. The emphasis is laid on His name, "Jesus," but explaining that He is the promised "Christ." This expression only occurs four times in the Gospels.
In the Epistles it conveys the meaning that the One who was on earth in humiliation is now the glorified, ascended Christ. This is set forth in Peter's Pentecostal sermon, when he exclaimed, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36). He was both Lord and Christ when on earth, but the titles take on a new significance once He is the ascended glorified One at God's right hand.
When we come to the titles, "Christ Jesus," in that order, the thought begins with Christ in glory, but that the blessed One there is "Jesus." This expression connects itself with the unfolding of the truths of Christianity in a remarkable way. "Redemption . . . is in Christ Jesus"; "the love of God. . . is in Christ Jesus"; we are "sanctified in Christ Jesus"; "our liberty. . . we have in Christ Jesus"; the believer is in "heavenly places in Christ Jesus"; "we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works"; God's "eternal purpose" is "in Christ Jesus"; "the high calling of God" is "in Christ Jesus"; the believer's "riches of glory" are "in Christ Jesus." And so the list might be extended with profit.
It is a great moment in the life of the believer when His thoughts are centred in glory, and our blessings and standing and joys are connected with "Christ Jesus," the One who has established Christianity in His own blessed Person. It was not, and could not be, till He took His place on high that the Holy Spirit could be given, and the body of Christ be formed upon the earth.
It is significant that the Gospels never use these titles in this order. Only once in Acts is it used, and even there it is a question whether the Divine name should not be "Jesus" without any addition (Acts 19:4).
It might be mentioned here that the title "Christ" is the Greek rendering of the Hebrew word "Messiah." The title in both languages means " The Anointed ." In the Old Testament we get three classes of persons anointed: the king for the kingly office; the priest for the priestly office; and the prophet for the prophetic office. The Lord was THE Anointed, to carry out the will of God, anointed to be the Saviour, the Revealer of the Father, THE Prophet; THE Priest; THE King; the Son of Man, with worldwide dominion; the Messiah, the King of the Jews; the King of kings, and Lord of lords, not a King among kings, inter alia , but a King OF kings. All that the world will ever know of blessing flows from THE Anointed One. The precious ointment was poured upon Aaron's head, ran down to his beard, and descended to the skirts of his garments (Ps. 133:2), so all blessing flows from the position that our Lord has got as THE Messiah or Christ, THE Anointed. How securely the glory of God lies in those pierced hands.
Take the salutations at the beginning of the Epistles.
" Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ " (Rom. 1:7).
" Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ " (1 Cor. 1:3).
" Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ " (2 Cor. 1:3).
" Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ " (Gal. 1:3).
So we might go through all the Pauline epistles, and find this salutation substantially repeated in each epistle, save that in those addressed to individuals "mercy" is added to peace and grace.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all," is practically the ending of all the Pauline epistles.
We have indicated enough to lead some, we trust, to follow up this interesting study for themselves.
There is, however, one important observation to be made before we leave this subject. The name of Jesus is of high meaning, "Jehovah Saviour"—Jehovah the name of God in covenant blessing with His people, yet it was the name given to our Lord when He humbled Himself, coming into this world as a Bondman, in order to die for the glory of God, and that He might be the Saviour, never less than "God, blessed for ever" (Rom. 9:5), but having the name, Saviour, woven into it, by virtue of His atoning sacrifice on the cross. The disciples, be it carefully observed, never addressed the blessed Lord by this name, but always as Lord or Master. We have no record of anyone addressing Him by this name, the glory and moral dignity of His person would preserve from undue familiarity. So we read, "Thou shalt call His name Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21).
Now turn to the beginning of 1 Corinthians 12 and we shall find a needed warning, and as much needed this day as then, as to spiritual manifestations. These are ever of two kinds, spiritual or demoniac, that is either of the Holy Spirit of God, or of demons, that is spiritism in its various forms, including Christian Science, and all the sects that deny "Jesus Christ come in flesh," and refuse the atoning character of His death.
Evil spirits will speak of "Jesus," but refuse to acknowledge Him as Lord. When you find professed religious leaders chary of speaking of Jesus as Lord, you may well be careful as to their teaching. "No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost" (1 Cor. 12:3). It may be that men may take that title on their lips to deceive, but no man can really say that Jesus is the Lord save by the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes we find true Christians speaking little of our Lord under the titles of "Christ Jesus," or "the Lord Jesus Christ," and much of "Jesus" and "Jesus Christ." In such cases it often means a defective knowledge of the truth concerning this subject as presented in the Scriptures.
We would beseech our Christian readers to weigh this matter over. We have ever felt the power of the full name, "Lord Jesus Christ," as it falls from the lips of the Lord's servants in testimony, and more especially in these days of spiritual slackness and apathy.
The title, Son of Man, is a deeply interesting one. This is a title that was ever on the Lord's lips as He testified of Himself as recorded in the Gospels.
Adam had dominion over all flesh given to him by God, but soon fell and forfeited this position. There have been futile attempts made in this direction by conquerors such as Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and will be made in the future day by the head of the revived Roman Empire, signs of which are very assertive at this present time, but no one shall occupy that place save our blessed Lord Jesus Christ. The title carries with it the thought of universal headship and dominion.
It is interesting that over eighty times is the prophet Ezekiel addressed as "son of man." Eighty-four times out of the eighty-eight times this title is found in the New Testament, it falls from the lips of the Lord Himself.
There is this important difference, however, between the title as referring to Ezekiel and to the Lord. In the Old Testament when used of a human being it never has the article, thus rendering the expression a description rather than a title, that is to say it emphasizes that Ezekiel was a human being. In the New Testament the title always has the article, emphasizing that it is indeed a title, the very highest as far as earthly dominion could go.
It is twice referred to in the Old Testament, once in Psalm 8, quoted in Hebrews 2:5-9, ascribing universal dominion to the Lord, and again in Daniel 7:9-14, where the Son of Man is spoken of as "given. . . dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion. . . an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed" (v. 14).
How touching then, in contrast to this, is the Lord's saying that the foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head; the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins; the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they said, "Behold a gluttonous Man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners"; the Son of man is the Sower of the good seed of the kingdom of heaven; the Son of man asks the question, "Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?" And the blessed answer is given, the revelation of the Father to the soul of Peter, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath; the Son of man came not to be ministered to but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many; the Son of man was to be betrayed, crucified, to rise again; the Son of man walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks (Rev. 2 and 3); the Son of man will appear on the clouds, and set up His kingdom, and the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth as the waters cover the sea.
 For simplicity's sake in this article we will refer to titles only, though ever bearing in mind that "Jesus" was our Lord's personal name.

Pitt Arts 20th Anniversary: Spurring Love of the Arts, Regardless of Major
By Lindsey Neyland
Pitt History
In a few short years, Pitt junior Jonathan Kenneson will embark on a career in engineering. While his strong academic record and internship experience have positioned him for success, it's his love for and commitment to the arts—nurtured at Pitt—that will truly set him apart from his peers.
"The arts are one of my most cherished hobbies," he said. "My love for the arts has increased my leadership abilities and opened my mind to new ideas and ways of thinking. Once I enter the workforce as an engineer, I will be working in a team setting—and being open-minded to my teammates' ideas will help us work together and accomplish more as a team."
Kenneson's experiences capture the mission of Pitt Arts, which has worked over the last 20 years to imbue all students—regardless of major—with an appreciation of the arts that will make them not only better professionals, but also better people.
"The arts get us thinking, make us laugh, and cause us to question the world around us," said Annabelle Clippinger, Pitt Arts director. "The arts help us build a diverse community, beautify our world, and nurture our spirit."
Indeed, during a time when many are questioning the value of the liberal arts and humanities, the University of Pittsburgh has christened the 2015-16 academic year "The Year of the Humanities in the University."
A number of Pitt students have already embraced the idea, branching out from their majors to explore Pitt Arts' Arts Encounters, the Cheap Seats program, Artful Wednesdays, and Free Museum Visits. For example, 36 percent of students participating in the Arts Encounters program are majoring in the hard sciences; and almost 16 percent of participants are engineering majors—the same percentage as the number of students majoring in the humanities or fine arts. The Arts Encounters program offers students free tickets, transportation, a catered reception, and the opportunity to meet performers following some shows in Downtown's Cultural District.
Through the Free Museum Visits program, students enjoy free admission to local arts destinations, including the Carnegie Museum of Arts and Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Phipps Conservatory, and the Andy Warhol Museum. This past year, more than 65,000 student visits were tallied.
Meanwhile, 2015 marks the 13th year of Artful Wednesdays, which include free performances and lunch for students in Nordy's Place on campus. The program also helps local musicians and artists expand their fan base. And Pitt Arts' Cheap Seats program continues to provide easy, affordable access to the arts to faculty, staff, and students.
"The city is our campus, and we are connecting students to the arts in the city," Clippinger said. "By forging these valuable connections, Pitt Arts is contributing to the retention of students here at Pitt."
While many students are drawn to Pitt Arts because of an existing love for theater, music, or visual art, other students develop an appreciation over time—often because of one arts encounter that makes an impression.
"Before arriving on campus, some of our students have been thoroughly underexposed to the arts," said Clippinger. "But all it takes is one experience to get students to stretch their thinking—whether it's analyzing an abstract painting or visiting the opera for the first time. To me, that's the most exciting aspect of my job—the growth that happens around the arts."

Homicidols Best: Daemon's Top Ten Favorite Idol Songs of All Time
August 24, 2022 August 27, 2022 / DAEMON / 3 Comments
Cal proposed this project some time ago. "Let's all come up with our ten favorite idol songs," he said. "It'll be fun," he said. It's actually a pretty agonizing experience. Getting the list down to about 25 or 30 favorite songs isn't too difficult, but whittling it down from there becomes extraordinarily painful. You can see that, in the end, I copped out and included an extra 10 songs that I couldn't bear not to mention. I'm doing a terrible job at selling this, because the whole point of this intro is to try to talk you into going through the exercise yourself.
Please complete this Google Form to tell us your ten favorite idol songs, and why. Entries that are fit to print will be featured here on this very blog. The last thing we want is for Homicidols to exist as an echo chamber of Team's crappy tastes and opinions (no matter how erudite and correct they may be), so please let us know what you think.

RAY to Suspend Activities
May 27, 2022 May 28, 2022 / DAEMON
Mere days after dropping one of the best albums of 2022, RAY have announced that they will be ending their current system and suspending activities.
【現体制終了・活動休止のお知らせ】
7/23 or 24予定の現体制ラストワンマンをもってRAYは活動休止期間に入る事をお知らせ致します。5/28からは月日が活動復帰、甲斐の復帰は調整中です。また並行して新メンバーオーディションを開催し、9〜10月に新体制お披露目予定です。詳細は画像を一読下さい。 pic.twitter.com/qhdXOHr7pm

The Contenders: Team Homicidols Best of 2022 (So Far)
We lost so many veteran and A-list talents last year that there were thoughts that 2022 would have a dearth of compelling new chika idol releases. To our surprise, the first several months of this new year have instead seen veteran idols producing some of their best ever work while new units have been dropping captivating releases from the word, "Go!" We usually wait until much later in the year to start tossing around contenders for "Best of the Year" nods, but Team Homicidols is finding ourselves so overwhelmed by the volume, diversity and quality of new music that we felt it was important to make some mid-year citations for posterity.
A Late Valentines RAY Present
February 16, 2022 February 15, 2022 / Cal
RAY were on time, we were the tardy ones! Can we make it up to you by showing you their new music video for "TEST?"
RAY is Having a "moment"
January 22, 2022 January 22, 2022 / DAEMON
RAY has been the center of a flurry of activity in this week that will be capped by their fourth one-man live. This includes yesterday's drop of the MV for "moment", a new song composed by "Almighty Omnidirectional Pop Group" Couple (who are definitely worth checking out).
The 50 Greatest Alternative Idol Albums of the Last Decade: #11 – 20
July 30, 2021 August 6, 2021 / DAEMON / 2 Comments
We have reached the second-to-last week of our Top 50 countdown featuring the albums that placed 11 – 20 plus one honorable mention that didn't quite make the final list of 50.
"Why the honorable mentions?", no one asked, "Why not just make it a top 55 or 60?"
There are a few reasons such as we had to draw a line somewhere, and also because we wanted to respect our quasi-democratic process. The primary reason though is because, when we first took a look at the final top 50, we were surprised by a few things that weren't there. This week's honorable mention is a prime case in point:
A Yellow RAY of Sunshine For You!
May 25, 2021 May 26, 2021 / supremenothing
Spring is here and new life is emerging from the Earth (It really is!) and the days are nice and long! We're gearing up for summer with (hopefully) significantly less Covid-ness and I for one, am longing for a new soundtrack for the humid nights I'm driving around with my windows down. What's it gonna be? I'm sure you all have multiple things you're anticipating, and here's the newest hat thrown into the summer soundtrack sweepstakes…
The glorious genre-spanning etherial beings of light that we know as RAY are streaking across the heavens with a new four-song single release simply called "Yellow"! This announcement alone is a stop-the-presses level of importance as it is, but the wonderfully generous souls behind RAY have been gracious enough to give you (for a limited time) a complete listen to all four tracks! You're now excused if you want to cut me off here and go listen immediately, after all, I'm as excited as you are and understand fully..

You Review Things: RAY | "Pink"
August 25, 2020 / Homicidol Maniac
Once again actually by Viz Major!
When ・・・・・・・・・ (vocalized as "Dots" or "Dots Tokyo") emerged onto the idol scene in late 2016 with their shoegaze music and unorthodox presentation, it was a surprisingly much needed breath of fresh air from the saturated market of overcolored aesthetics and systematic cheerful, yet often contrived, songs predominant in idol culture. Along with this new approach to the genres of music that idols perform, the group attached an eccentric mythos to their profile, implementing things like all members are named ・(a single dot) but have nicknames that change every so often and go by themes such as vegetables or even infrastructures (one member was nicknamed "Konbini", the Japanese word for "convenience store"). Visors were worn over the eyes of the members to conceal their identities, which established them as both an innovative and mysterious idol group. They quickly gained fans in not only the idol spectrum, but also among fans of shoegaze and indie rock outside of the J-pop music sphere, and in 2018 released their debut album『 』(a title with no words but actually 9 half-width spaces), which proved to be one of the best albums of that year. Unfortunately, the following year the inevitable fate which many idols have succumbed to was met, and the group was dissolved after performing a final one-man live at Tokyo Kinema Club on March 24, 2019.

Have You Heard The Good News Of RAY?
April 16, 2020 April 18, 2020 / supremenothing
The glorious RAY posted on their twitter to look forward to an upcoming announcement, which sounded very promising for once, as opposed to all the downtrodden news we've gotten recently. "Yes please o' etherial shoegazing idols , give us something good!! We need this!!", we were all thinking to ourselves…
And so today, (Which is is actually now yesterday as of this publishing.) the good news was delivered! Have you heard? Listen and listen well, those who believe, and welcome to the light, those of you who are new…
Yes, Sweet Hipster Moses, RAY is releasing their first album!! I swear the sun came out and bathed the Earth is a pink glow while the Corona virus cowered a little today. Everything just got a little better. And oh, guess what else? For a limited amount of time, the album in it's entirety is uploaded on YouTube, to let you taste the rainbow a little bit early!
Maybe before I say anything more about the details, I'll leave the embed right here and let you dive in. So go ahead, breathe in, and savor a full preview of RAY's very first full-length album, entitled "Pink"…
RAY Want To Spend "The End Of The World With You"…
February 25, 2020 July 6, 2020 / supremenothing
This dropped a few days ago, but it was simply too good to let slip past the radar. Shoegaze idols RAY, (Successors to the now-legendary group with no with no real name save for a row of dots) are still not a year old, but have already made a huge impression with a dose of effortless charisma and incredibly strong musical collaborations with top-tier talent.
Their first EP release "Blue" was a near-perfect collection of songs that revealed a sky's-the-limit potential. We've been treated to MVs for "Butterfly Effect" and "Meteor", and now there's a more low-key video for the closing track, "The End Of The World With You"…
https://twitter.com/_RAY_world/status/1230809425134227457?
As the tweet above explains, this MV offers us a retrospective of the group's upward trajectory since their inception, including most notably their acclaimed show in Taiwan. Let's have a look!


Ohio's workers are essential to the growth of our economy. Since its inception, the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation has been helping private and public employers protect their employees in the workplace. The premiums paid by these employers go towards offering important safety services and resources in cases of job-related injuries.
The BWC announced this year that it will be refunding $1.5 billion to Ohio's businesses and employers, its fourth rebate since 2013. This latest rebate brings the total that BWC has saved employers since 2011 to $8 billion, which has a real impact on Ohio's economy across communities.
The BWC is able to make these returns because of safer work environments that have resulted in a reduction in insurance claims, investment returns which have yielded higher numbers than expected, and responsible fiscal management combined with a strong economy. Many eligible employers have already received their checks, which equal 85 percent of their premium for the policy year ending June 30, 2017 (calendar year 2016 for public employers). Make sure to check your mail again and then contact BWC if you did not receive your check.
For the 89th House District, private and public employers in Ottawa County will receive more than $2.5 million and those in Erie County will receive more than $5.5 million. Businesses in these counties can use these additional resources to continue growing their operations and help bolster our state's economy at large.
This move by BWC is not only welcome news to employers, but it is good, responsible policy. Considering its financial strength, BWC's position to give back to public and private employers will ultimately benefit the state as a whole, giving businesses back their earnings spent on premiums and creating greater job security for Ohioans.

Q: Exit bash script within while loop How do you exit a script from within a find piped while loop?
E.g. following exit just exits the piped subshell:
find some_directory -type d|while read dir_name; do
  if [ -w "$dir_name" ]; then
    exit 1
  fi
done

A: You can check the return status of the pipe:
if ! find some_directory -type d|while read dir_name; do
  if [ -w "$dir_name" ]; then
    exit 1
  fi
done; then exit 1; fi

Or, more simply:
 find some_directory -type d|while read dir_name; do
      [ -w "$dir_name" ] && exit 1
    done || exit 1

A: In bash an exit invoked in a subprocess will exit the subprocess but not the parent process.
In OP's code the pipeline - find | while - will run the while (and the subsequent exit invocation) within a subprocess, so if/when the exit 1 is invoked the subprocess will be exited but not the parent process.
To allow the exit to apply at the top level we need to insure the while is not run within a subprocess.  Expanding on 123's comment:
while read -r dir_name; do
  if [ -w "$dir_name" ]; then
    exit 1
  fi
done < <(find some_directory -type d)

Note that the <( ) construct ("process substitution") is not available in all shells, or even in bash when it's in sh-compatibility mode (i.e. when it's invoked as sh or /bin/sh). So be sure to use an explicit bash shebang (like #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/env bash) in your script, and don't override it by running the script with the sh command.


Northwest Austin Real Estate - buy - sell - invest: Northwest Austin Homes: Believe it or Not, North and Northwest Austin Real Estate is a SELLERS MARKET!
Northwest Austin Homes: Believe it or Not, North and Northwest Austin Real Estate is a SELLERS MARKET!
North and Northwest Austin Real Estate: North and Northwest Austin Real Estate is a Sellers Market!
1. What do you mean buyers market or sellers market? Well, when it comes to purchasing anything, the price depends on the simple factors of supply and demand. If the supply is up and the demand is down for homes, prices will drop to entice the few buyers out there. On the other hand, if the demand is up and the supply of homes is down, like in NW Austin right now, prices will generally be higher because the market will allow a higher price to sell the more desired product, in this case Houses in Northwest Austin.
2. How do you define a buyers market or sellers market? The market is defined generally by looking at how many months of inventory are available within a specific market. In other words, if homes continue to sell at the same rate that they have for the past few months, how long would it take to diminish the supply of homes without adding new listings to the market. If there is less than six months of inventory it is considered a sellers market, If there is more than six months of inventory, it is considered a buyers market.
3. Lets look at info from the Austin Board of Realtors MLS to see what is going on with Northwest Austin Homes. I am looking at Homes that fall within the boundaries of areas NW and 1N. There are 660 total listings. That breaks down to 216 active listings, 85 pending listings and 358 listings sold in the last six months. This includes homes of all, conditions, sizes, ages and price ranges in North and Northwest Austin. Based on the last six months, we have about 3-4 months of inventory!!! What does that mean? It means that North and Northwest Austin are Sellers Markets!
4. Now lets look at homes that are in the "average sales price range for homes in North and Northwest Austin. I would say that is anywhere from $150,000 to $300,000. There are 377 total listings. That breaks down to 92 active listings, 54 pending listings and 231 listings sold in the last six months. Based on those numbers, in the average price range of homes in North and Northwest Austin, there is just over two months of inventory. That is definitely a sellers market!
5. This all means that as a seller you could possibly sell your home for more money today than you could have in the past. House values in North and Northwest Austin continue to go up and the demand is there to support it.
This all adds up to a very interesting time for buyers and sellers of Homes in North or NW Austin because if you listen to the news or even most REALTORS, they would encourage sellers to wait but, what would you wait for? Homes are selling. This doesn't mean that it is a bad time to buy. There are plenty of homes on the market that are being sold by homeowners that are scared, misinformed, or desperate to sell their home. That adds up to a deal. I definitely feel for people that are going through something in their life that make is necessary to sell, but it is not a time to panic. There are misinformed REALTORS giving their scared clients even scarier advice. There are serious deals available.
The people that I have been working with to list and sell their homes know what I am talking about. Last week I closed a deal on a house that I had listed in the Balcones Woods subdivision in North Austin. I do an immense amount of homework when I list a home. When we listed the home at $300,000 I got responses from REALTORS that "specialize in the area" that said it was overpriced and I would not be able to put a deal together anywhere close to that price. Well, long story short, they were wrong. We put together a deal in less than a week for a sales price that is very close to the asking price without paying any of the buyers closing costs and not allowing any money for repairs...one week! If my client was working with one of those REALTORS, it would have sold in a week but for quite a bit less. The seller couldn't be happier with the deal that was put together. I don't have a crystal ball but it is important to be educated on factual information and when you employ a professional to sell your home, make sure they know the facts!
If you are trying to decide if now is the right time to sell, lets look at the facts and get you more money for your home. Contact me today and we can talk about it.
If you are thinking about buying a home, now is a great time. Lets find a deal for you.
