Robert Stark talks to Ashley Messinger about Roger Blackstone & The Politics of AESTHETICS
Roger Blackstone is a fictional presidential candidate in Robert Stark's novel Journey to Vapor Island.
Ashley's article Roger Blackstone: The Politics of Aesthetics
Roger Blackstone's ideology as a psychedelic futurist form of social nationalism
Roger Blackstone utilizing capitalism as a real estate mogul to rise to power
Roger Blackstone's Utopian visions in contrast with Trump who has been a major disappointment
Roger Blackstone's campaign commercial
"Advancing civilization and furthering human progress" implies a rejection of the NRx reading of history (inverted Whig view) and assumes that some forms of progress are actually meaningful
Basing political ideology on aesthetic values
New Urbanism and the necessity of creating aesthetically pleasant living spaces
The idea that simple libertarianism is just not enough and we need to create intentional communities for every possible group
The 1980's Retro Futuristic theme; "Neon Nationalism"
Roger Blackstone's idea of making humans, rather than just art and architecture, the subject of aesthetic concern
Roger's Blackstone's economic views and support for a basic income
The power to completely re-engineer the human genome to enhance human potential(Transhumanism)
The book The Chemical Muse about the prevalence of drugs(especially entheogens) in pre-modern societies, and the importance of drug use to a lot of artists and anti-conformists
Roger Blackstone's father Alistair and his manifesto "Why The True Aristocrat Must Rule"
The notion of a natural aristocracy(ex. Ralph Waldo Emerson and HL Mencken)
The term "Aristocratic Radicalism" pops up, which has been used to describe Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy
Similarities to Alistair Crowley's concept of "Aristocratic Communism," where society is geared towards empowering those who are naturally non-conformists, artists, and intellectuals
There is some evidence that Alistair is sympathetic to distributive economic philosophies, because capitalism has this stifling effect on the creative class
The mock presidential debate scene where Noam has to represent Roger Blackstone against the Democrat, Republican, and Libertarian
The growing trend of political fusionism
The importance of using fiction to influence political discourse

Elton John Detroit 2/8/22 Ticket Information
Elton John Detroit tickets can be purchased here where you'll find a fantastic selection of Little Caesars Arena concert tickets.
About Elton John
Reginald Kenneth Dwight may not be the name you know him by, but you surely do know him -- Sir Elton Hercules John, that is.
Having sold more than 250 million albums worldwide, he's one of the most successful artists of all time and he's not quite finished.
Among his greatest achievements was 1997's "Candle in the Wind" which sold more than 37 millions copies making it the top-selling single of all time.
John began pounding the keys at the age of 3 and was playing by ear within a year with formal tutelage starting at age 7. When he was 11, he earned a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music where he was able to play by ear a four-page Handel composition after hearing it only once.
It was when he answered an ad in New Musical Express, that Dwight was connected with lyricist Bernie Taupin who would become his lifelong writing partner. Their first collaboration, "Scarecrow," was recorded in 1967, before they even met in person. By then, Reggie had transitioned into Elton.
The John/Taupin team became staff songwriters for DJM Records in 1968, churning out tunes for stars of the day, like Lulu and Roger Cook. They eventually began composing songs for John to record. Their first release, Empty Sky, garnered favorable reviews and lackluster sales.
Recruiting Paul Buckmaster as musical arranger for the next outing, the eponymously titled Elton John which spawned the team's first Top 100 single in the U.S. -- "Bord... Read more

The USA has some of the best employment opportunities in the world so it's little surprise that many immigrants choose to relocate to the USA to progress their career.
Some individuals opt to move to the USA on a permanent basis whilst others simply stay for a temporary period in order to gain a new perspective and valuable experience.
A USA business visa can come in many different formats and the type you need will depend on your intentions when you arrive.
You may simply be planning on traveling to the USA to conduct business; perhaps setting up some important meetings, hooking up with valuable contacts or sourcing suppliers. If this is the case a temporary USA business visa will be all that's needed.
A temporary USA business visa is broken down according to the reason for your planned arrival and what you plan on doing once you enter the country. Each category of the temporary USA business visa has certain conditions attached which specify what rules must be met. For example, for a conference, meeting, trade show or business event, the individual must receive no remuneration from a US-based company. Similarly, an investor looking for a business venture under a temporary USA business visa may survey potential sites, or seek out the appropriate place to rent a property. They cannot however remain in the country to go on to manage the business once it is up and running.
If you want to enter the country on a USA business visa but cannot meet the eligibility criteria under category B1 you could still qualify under a different section.
Working in the USA on a temporary basis, and being employed or remunerated by a US-based company usually means that a worker visa is required. This can still be issued on a temporary basis but usually requires the prospective employer to also file a petition with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
However, if you are looking solely for a USA business visa but plan on working more than the category B1 allows, or you can't meet the conditions of issue, you may need to apply for an immigrant visa. This type of visa allows individuals to not only remain to conduct business as necessary, but also permits them to seek work on either a skilled or unskilled basis from a US-based company.
If you aren't sure what type of USA visa is right for your circumstances, you may prefer to seek help from an immigration consultant to get advice and assistance with your application.

Data Coordination and Integration Center for LINCS-BD2K
Schuerer, Stephan C (CoPI)
Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For this project we will establish the Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) for the Library of Integrated Network-based Signatures (LINC) program as part of the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative. The Center will have four major components: Integrated Knowledge Environment (IKE), Consortium Coordination and Administration (CCA), Data Science Research (DSR) and Community Training and Outreach (CTO). The Center will construct a high-capacity scalable IKE enabling federated access, intuitive querying and integrative analysis and visualization across all LINCS resources and many additional external data types from other relevant resources. The Center will perform, support, and fund several Internal and external DSR projects, addressing various data integration and intracellular molecular regulatory network challenges. The CTO efforts will establish several educational programs including a LINCS MOOC, summer undergraduate research program, initiate and support diverse collaborative projects leveraging LINCS resources, and systematically disseminate LINCS data and tools via a variety of mechanisms. The organizational structure of the Center will include a strong CCA that will support and manage the Center goals and deliverables, and coordinate activities across the LINCS and BD2K programs. The IKE resources will build on the infrastructure, analysis tools and data that we have already established in the LINCS pilot and transition phases, thus minimizing executional risks. The Center brings together a proven team of computational experts with several years of experience with LINCS data and complementary expertise: Drs. Ma'ayan, Schurer, and Medvedovic will develop and deploy a next generation computational infrastructure, develop novel analysis tools and methods enabling researchers to glean new insights from integrative models of biological systems to link complex diseases/phenotypes with drugs and the pathways that those drugs target in different cells and tissues. The project will play a key role to transform and accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutics and improve diagnostics for significantly advancing human health.

The 1,830 Km pipeline, which was built by the China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC), runs through central Uzbekistan and southern Kazakhstan before reaching China. Line C complements two other pipelines, Line A and Line B. A fourth pipeline, Line D, is scheduled to begin construction in December.
Currently, Line C transports 7 billion cubic meters (cm) of natural gas across Central Asia into China. The CNPC predicts that Line C will eventually transport over 25 billion cm of natural gas by the end of next year. Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are projected to supply over 10 billion cm of natural gas while Kazakhstan will contribute roughly 5 billion cm.
The construction of Line C and D illustrate the deepening economic ties between China and Central Asia. China is continuously depending on Central Asia for its energy needs. Central Asia will be supplying over 40 percent of natural gas imports to China when Line D is fully functioning by 2020.
China is fostering close economic ties with Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan, but is also enriching the poorer nations of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Line D, which will originate in Turkmenistan and end in China, will run through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan allowing these countries to collect substantial transit fees from China.
China is increasing its foothold and presence in Central Asia with the creation of Line D. Line D will be the longest and most expensive of the China-Central Asia pipelines covering over 7,000 Km. China could potentially be designing Line D to run through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in order to diversify the routing of its various pipelines.
Overall, China continues to increase its presence in Central Asia through the construction of lucrative and expansive pipelines which stretch across Central Asia. China is now in the process of diversifying the routes and origins of their natural gas pipelines in order to decrease geopolitical risk and increase their influence across Central Asia.
Very interesting, the demand is still outstripping supply even with Line D in the works.

ED MCKEON: New England and the Old South
Published 12:00 am EDT, Tuesday, June 7, 2011
I was sitting at the bar of the Fish Market in downtown Birmingham pondering the menu when the woman next to me recommended the Athenian Snapper.
"The owner is Greek," she said. "It's the best thing in the house."
I ordered it, and she was right, spicy snapper smothered in onions, peppers, olives and feta cheese.
I was stuck in Birmingham. It was my second trip to the city in two weeks, and when I arrived at the airport that afternoon I was informed that all flights to Atlanta were cancelled because of severe storms. Having just driven through one of those storms on my way from Montgomery, I was just as happy not to get off the ground. And having spent several days surveying tornado damage near Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, I had a newly healthy respect for the power of weather.
So, having decided to make the best of a bad situation, I was enjoying the Athenian Snapper, which had been preceded by a half dozen Gulf oysters. At the Fish Market, a half dozen equals eight.
The dinner recommendation was the beginning of a dinner-long conversation about Birmingham with a lifelong resident.
I asked the population of Birmingham, and the woman guessed a million, but she was quickly corrected by the bartender, the son of the restaurant owner.
Turns out, Birmingham proper is only home to a couple of hundred thousand, but when counting the surrounding suburbs, the population reaches a couple million.
Birmingham is a city which prospered in the nineteenth century, and through the earlier 20th century as a center of iron ore mining, and refinement into steel. It far outstripped its neighbors to the East (Atlanta) and the West (New Orleans), with a booming city surrounding a major rail spur.
"Somehow, we never figured out how to transition that power into the 20th century," the Birmingham native explained.
Birmingham, of course, arrived in the mid-20th century lexicon in the most unfortunate way, as it struggled with institutional segregation, and decades of cultural and social bigotry which was not shed easily, nor without ugly violence.
Today, residents talk in hushed tones about those times, expressing, almost apologetically, that they are not proud of those days. Only a former Baptist minister who sought his pastoral duties at the height of the struggles in Selma, was willing to explain the pains the troubled time brought to his parish.
When I asked why she still lived in Birmingham, the woman explained that she liked the town which had seen better days.
"It's coming back," she said, pointing to the hundreds of new condos and lofts which have been built around the looming presence of the giant University of Alabama Birmingham Medical Center downtown.
"We've got a great symphony, and some terrific restaurants, as you can see," she said.
"And it's not Atlanta," she said.
I ventured that Birmingham was not unlike Hartford, a city that boomed in the nineteenth century but that had been eclipsed by the neighboring metropolises of New York and Boston. Hartford was, and is, not without its own racial troubles.
"We have chowder," I said. "But we don't have gumbo like this, or biscuits and gravy, or barbecue. And maybe it's better for my heart that we don't."
"Don't get me wrong," she said. "I love to visit Atlanta and New Orleans."
And I Boston and New York.
"But Birmingham is home," she said.
In my head, I heard Randy Newman's voice, "Birmingham, Birmingham. Greatest city in Alabam..."
His song is a complex love song to a city rife with complicated problems, and homespun joys.
I guess it's possible to love an imperfect city. In fact, maybe it's more probable to love an imperfect city than to find passion for a the planned perfection of a gated community or a suburban subdivision.

We have used VRBO a number of times and I can say this is the best rental we have enjoyed. Exactly as pictured and described. Peter and Joy have a very nice home. The view of a gorgeous bay could not be better. Fantastic views of the tide going way out and back in twice a day. Our group, two couples and one of our adult children, had a great time. We loved the ping pong table, the bay window, the comfortable beds with great linens and fluffy pillows, and the kitchen. The entire property is squeaky clean. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basics for cooking and serving. Plus there we lots of extras like cooking oil, coffee filters, sugar, spices etc. I will make a suggestion for future renters. Visit the home before going to the store so you can buy what you need. Hannaford Supermarket is about 20 minutes away. For instance, we had to buy toilet paper, paper towels along with our breakfast/lunch foods. Also the coffee filters there were too small (2 instead of 4) for the Mr. Coffee maker. Finally be sure to enter the correct town (Tremont) for the home into your GPS because there is an identical address in another small town very nearby. Overall an excellent value and we will stay there again.
Perfect spot to gather 3 high school friends along with spouses and catch up. Easy/convenient drive to Bar Harbor, Arcadia National Park and watching sunsets at Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse. Our hosts, Joy and Peter, were responsive to our questions and needs. We would highly recommend their Cove's Edge property to anyone interested in visiting Maine.
When we first arrived at Cove's Edge our children were so excited that this property was right on the water that they ran to the beach before we even entered the house. The house was clean and provided everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. The Ping Pong table was a huge hit with our family and we had many tournaments to see who was the best. We enjoyed the view that the cottage offered and we even saw a seal in the cove one evening. My daughter loved going out at low tide to look for shells and other things left in the sand. We loved our stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
Excellent poperty. We loved the bay windows overlooking tje water. Very private with great local seafood. Definitely a great place to revisit.
Nice house, beautiful location, well-stocked. I think the owner should inform guests BEFORE booking that the tap water is in sufficiently treated so really shouldn't be consumed. Except for that, I highly recommend this place.
This place is amazing! Feels very comfortable and home-y, and really is well stocked in terms of kitchen supplies, games, grill, towels, and more! The location is very quiet and STUNNING, a little bit of a ways (half hour or so) to Bar Harbor/Acadia entrances, but very manageable. Beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, and everything was very well thought-of. I would come back here again in a heartbeat!
We stayed here for our first trip to Maine and to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We loved that we were close to all the amazing things to do in Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, but also far enough away from the crowds around Bar Harbor. We couldn't believe how quiet and peaceful it was watching the amazing sunsets at this house.
Wonderful place to be while visiting Maine!!!
We enjoyed our home in Maine so much. Jill and Peter were very accommodating and shared a lot of local tips and information with us prior to our visit. We had the entire cove to ourselves whenever we took to the water. It was so peaceful! Great sunsets from the house and great places to sit down and read a book. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was easy to navigate and use! The landscape and flowers around this home are so beautiful as well. Location is great because you are in the quiet area of Mount Desert Island, but you are also not a far drive from anything on the island.
Right on the water, beautiful views, lovely clean cottage, great proximity to lots of fun and relaxing activities. Couldn't ask for more!
Four couples spent time at Blue Heron Seaside Cottage and very much enjoyed our stay. The home is even nicer than the photos. Beautiful views of the cove, well furnished, comfortable and cozy. Everything we needed was available at our finger tips. We loved the screened porch! An easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Blue Heron was a welcome place to spend our evenings together with good food and great friends! Thank you Joy and Peter.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your home. It was everything that we hoped it would be and more. The weather was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed exploring Acadia and the little surrounding towns on Mt. Desert Island. Then, after a day out and about, it was nice to come back to your place and just relax. The sunsets were beautiful. The lobster at Thurston's was great. You have been great to work with. Thank you for the use of your home, it is one that we will surely plan on coming back to again.


Getting kids to read can be difficult. There are so many distractions that keep them from wanting to pick up a book and read. I know my boys would much rather play video games or watch television than read a book. However, I've found that my kids love comic books and graphic novels.
I've found that more and more authors of children's books are opting for a graphic novel style and I honestly love it. They are heavily illustrated and just plain fun to run. My boys can read through an entire series in a weekend. I think graphic novels are a gateway to heavier reading. My son went from Captain Underpants to Harry Potter within a year. He still loves graphic novels and comics (so does my husband) but he appreciates the stories in more classic books now.
These are a fun series of books by Jeffery Brown that combine a bit of science, history and humor. This is a fun book that tells the store of 2 cave kids and their life 40,000 years ago.
Again written by Jeffrey Brown, the Star Wars Academy series takes you on a jounry to a middle school in a galaxy far, far away. This is a fun series that captures the realities most kids can relate to at school.
Dav Pilkey is probably most well know for writing the Captain Underpants series, which we love. Dog Man is a sort of spin off of George and Harold's comic book creations. Dog Man is part dog, part man and all super hero.
If your kids love video games or if you love classic games like Super Mario then this is a great book. This is a collection of comics that originally ran in the Nintendo Power magazine.
Video game books are a favorite, especially when they are unofficial. The Diary of an 8-bit Warrior series is a creative journal of a young Minecraft villager.
If you want to know the history of all of the Legend of Zelda games read these books. They are read right to left (Japanese style) but are in English.
The Teen Titans have a TV show, a movie and tons of comics and graphic novels. This super hero team has crazy adventures and hilarious banter.
Science Comics combine graphic novels and science. Kids learn about in-depth science subject through a comic books style writing.
These are just a few of our favorites. There are so many other great graphic novels and comic books that kids can enjoy reading. We also have a comic book subscription at our local comic book store for kid friendly comics.

Effects of randomly distributed impurities on conductance, spin polarization and electron localization in realistic gated semiconductor quantum point contacts (QPCs) have been simulated numerically. To this end density functional theory in local spin-density approximation (LSDA) has been used. In the case when the donor layer is embedded far from the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) the electrostatic confinement potential exhibits the conventional parabolic form, and thus the usual ballistic transport phenomena take place both in the devices with split gates alone and with an additional metallic gate on the top. In the opposite case, i.e., when the randomly distributed donors are placed not far away from the 2DEG layer, there are drastic changes like the localization of electrons in the vicinity of confinement potential minima which give rise to fluctuations in conductance and resonances. The conductance as a function of the voltage applied to the top gate for asymmetrically charged split gates has been calculated. In this case resonances in conductance caused by randomly distributed donors are shifted and decrease in amplitude while the anomalies caused by interaction effects remain unmodified. It has been also shown that for a wide QPC the polarization can appear in the form of stripes. The importance of partial ionization of the random donors and the possibility of short range order among the ionized donors are emphasized.The motivation for this work is to critically evaluate the nature of impurities and how to guide the design of high-mobility devices.
and donor layer is 10 nm and voltage between split gates is -1.6 V.

Chloë Grace Moretz Says Her Louis C.K. Film Should Just 'Go Away'
Chloë Grace Moretz says I Love You, Daddy, Louis C.K.'s scrapped controversial film featuring the actress, should never see the big screen.
"I think it should just kind of go away, honestly," the If I Stay star, 21, tells the New York Times.
The Toronto Film Festival movie was originally purchased for $5 million by indie distributor The Orchard, however when reports of Louis C.K.'s alleged sexual misconduct broke, the company pulled the plug.
Moretz was set to co-star with C.K., 50, who financed, co-wrote and directed the film.
"Of course, it's devastating to put time into a project and have it disappear," she continued. "But at the same time, this movement is so powerful and so progressive that I'm just happy to be in communication with everyone and to see the big change in the face of the industry, which I think is very, very real."
The movie followed a 17-year-old girl who forms a romantic attachment to a 68-year-old director, and stirred controversy prior to the allegations against C.K. for his character's use of the N-word and jokes about child rape.
Shortly after news of the allegations, the Kick-Ass actress distanced herself from the film.
"I do not condone sexual misconduct and, in light of the allegations, will not be promoting the movie further," she told the Los Angeles Times in November.
Moretz now hopes to use her experience dealing with C.K.'s sexual misconduct allegations as a way to discuss the broader issue of sexual harassment.
"I could single-in and talk about my experience, but I think it's more important to talk about the entire movement as a whole," Moretz told Variety at the Sundance Film Festival.
In a New York Times article published in November, four female comedians claimed that C.K. had masturbated in front of them, while a fifth claimed he masturbated while speaking with her on the phone. The comedian responded with a lengthy statement in which he admitted that "these stories are true."
He added, "The hardest regret to live with is what you've done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them … I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen."

Avalon's batch ingest feature provides a method of building one or more media items at a time from uploaded content and metadata outside the user interface. A batch ingest is started by uploading an ingest package consisting of one manifest file and zero or more content files to the Avalon dropbox. For your convenience there is a demo ingest package available to download and import into test systems. Follow the instructions below to ensure a
successful batch upload.
When a new collection is created, Avalon creates a subdirectory with the name of that collection (substituting underscores for any blanks), beneath the Avalon dropbox directory. The package (manifest file and associated content files) must be uploaded
to that collection
-named subdirectory or in a subdirectory beneath it. All items included in a single ingest package will be uploaded to the same collection. The following is a very simple package that has been uploaded:
Image Modified
The manifest file is a spreadsheet (xls, xlsx, csv, or ods) containing the metadata for the items to be created, as well as the names of the content files that make up each item. In this case, the manifest file is named batch_manifest.xlsx.
See batch_manifest_template
.xlsx for an Excel example file. Required fields are in bold.
Note: Neither the spreadsheet filename nor any folder/directory names above it can have blanks in them–substitute underscores.
Row 1, Column B contains the submitter's email address (or username, depending on how your system is set up) to be used for notifications and exceptions
. The submitter's email or user name must be listed as a manager, editor, or depositor for the collection in which this batch is deposited in the Avalon dropbox.
Row 2 specifies the names of the metadata fields supplied in the following rows.
Title,
Date Issued, and File are required. These fields are shown in bold in the Excel example file. Each subsequent row represents a single media item to be created. Metadata values are specified first, followed by a list of content files to be attached to each item. Note: Make sure none of the field names in row 2 have leading or trailing blanks, or the field names will not be recognized by Avalon and will report an error.
Content files listed in the manifest file must have the correct path noted for where those files are located in the Avalon dropbox, relative to the manifest file. Additionally, all content files must include a file extension. If necessary, include any directories or subdirectories (note the paths listed in columns
E and
G in the above example).
Required fields include "Title", "Date Issued" and "File" (bolded below and in .xls template). Exception: If "Bibliographic ID" ingest is used, only "file name" is then required
Main contributors are the primary persons or bodies associated with the creation of the content. Main contributors will be included in search results display and aggregated for browsing access. At this time there is no ability to specify a main contributor as a corporate body. When possible, use the Library of Congress Name Authority File.
In addition to the descriptive fields, there are
operational fields for the items(s) being ingested:
publish, enter value of "Yes".
Whether the item will appear in search/browse results for end users. Use this field to prevent users from discovering
items that would be confusing outside some externally-determined context (such as video figures for a research paper or audio clips contextualized in an Omeka exhibit). Hidden items can also provide "security by obscurity" when it is desirable to provide easy access but you don't want to publicize the availability of the items.
There are also several fields that describe the media file(s) that are part of the ingested item. These fields must be repeated for each attached file:
The batch ingest process will verify that the package is complete (i.e., all content files specified in the manifest are present and not open by any other processes) before attempting to ingest. If the package is incomplete, it will be skipped and returned to on a subsequent pass.
Date Ingested
This represents the date the item was ingested into Avalon Media System.
This date will not be visible within the user interface to normal users.
For system administrators and collection managers, a Limit By facet with these values will be available for search/browse.
If this column is not included, Date Ingested will automatically be set to the day on which the ingest process is completed by Avalon.
Include a valid date with format 2015-12-31 in this column to override the value being automatically set by the system.
Please note that files must match this convention strictly; extra periods are not allowed. filename.test.high.mp4 is invalid; filename.high.mp4 is valid.
Image Added
The Batch Ingest Package can include XML structure files. One structure XML file can be attached per media file. See the demo ingest package at the top of this page for an example structural XML file included in a batch.
For more information about structure files (schema expectations and examples), see Adding Structure to Files Using the Graphical XML Editor.
Adding caption files via batch
The Batch Ingest Package can include WebVTT or WebSRT captions files. One captions file per media file. If the manifest lists a file named test.mp4, it will look for a captions file named test.mp4.vtt. If one is found, it will be attached to the media file as captions. This captions file can be updated or removed later via the user interface "Structure" tab in Avalon.
Each batch will generate 2 emails to the
user listed at the top of the manifest.
Once Avalon detects the presence of an unprocessed manifest file, it will first verify that the necessary metadata columns are present in the manifest and that the file is not broken. At this stage, only the manifest file itself and not the metadata listed in the manifest has been validated.
If the manifest is incomplete or includes errors, such as invalid metadata values, only items that are valid (metadata which is valid, media file paths which are valid) will be created. An email will be sent to the email address specified in the manifest detailing the outcome, whether successful or not, listed in the manifest.
If a Bibliographic ID is provided for a resource but fails to process, the error email will only indicate that required fields are missing and will not indicate that the Bibliographic ID failed or was invalid.
To re-run a completed batch, follow the instructions in the email sent by the system after the batch is fully processed. It will contain a special filename that can be used to run the batch job again.

Jesus gave "keys" of the kingdom./kindom "to Peter and to community as a whole"
In Matthew 16:18-19 and Matthew 18: 18, Jesus gave the "keys" to the Kingdom/Kindom of God to Peter and to the community.
Gary Wills, Pultizer prize winning author, sums up the scholarship: " But Jesus, in the same gospel, gives the same power not to Peter exclusively but to the followers as a body: 'In truth I tell you (hymin, plural) that whatever you tie on earth will have been tied in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven "( Mt. 18:18).
"From this Augustine concluded that Peter is just ' a representative of the church'- and in fact the community as a whole had the power to include or exclude members in the early gatherings."
Gary Wills, What Jesus Meant, pp. 80-81.
emphasized -- so the church was built on the faith of believing Christians.
any law, at any time, at any moment.
many in the church today, that we need to change."
--Bishop Tom Gumbleton This homily was given at St. Hilary Parish, Detroit, Mich.
"...maybe God is calling us to a profound change and that is something that I think about this week because just a few days ago, -- a week ago now -- there was another ordination of a woman to the priesthood that happened in Lexington, Kentucky.
"Maybe if we think about this, pray over this, and maybe within our church if we really entered into dialogue with women and come to experience how they experience "I'm being called by God" just as honestly and with as much prayerfulness as any man who was ever called to the priesthood. Maybe if we listen to them, look at their faith, the love that they have for our church and for the ministry, maybe if we engaged in dialogue, we would see that yes, God has planted a seed where women have a role of leadership. "
" ... Victoria Rue hopes her trip to Indonesia will plant a seed that eventually sees the> ordination of this country's first female priest... ""Women have been thought of as evil, sinful and lustful, as representing only the body and not the spirit."" Rue, who is also a lecturing professor of comparative religion and women's studies at California's San Jose University, said women have been systematically excluded from positions of power in the Church."
Let us be glad and rejoice that a new day has begun for dialogue for justice for women in the church. One of the major outcomes of the meeting between Fr. Roy Bourgeois and his Maryknoll Community is that there will be a continued dialogue on women's ordination in the Roman Catholic Church. This presents an opportunity for Roman Catholic Womenpriests to share their experience of a renewed priesthood with religious orders and our brother priests and bishops. May this endeavor lead us forward into the Gospel Equality, (the kindom) that Jesus modelled. It is our hope that our brother bishops and priests follow Fr. Roy's prophetic witness!
When I met Janice Sevre-Duszynska years ago in the SOA Watch movement, she spoke about her journey of faith and her call to be ordained in the Catholic church.
That day has arrived. And we are here to share in her joy and to support Janice in her call to the priesthood.
As we know, the ordination of women in the Catholic church is a controversial issue. Ten years ago I wrote the following letter to my Maryknoll community about why women should be ordained. It was published in the Maryknoll newsletter under the headline "No One Likes a Bully."
In prison one has a lot of time for long thoughts and long prayers. Among my thoughts has been the issue of the ordination of women in the Catholic church. Years ago, while in the military, I felt called to the priesthood and entered Maryknoll. Today I have women friends who say God is calling them to the priesthood. Who are we to judge their calling? As people of faith, we believe that a person's call to ministry is initiated by God and is something sacred. Who among us has the right to tamper with God's call?
In my 26 years as a priest, it is my experience that we need the wisdom, sensitivity, experiences, compassion and courage of women in the priesthood if our church is to be healthy and complete. Sexism is a sin. However, [according to] the idea of Joan Chittister, the problem is not so much with sexism as it is with the perception of God held by those who oppose the ordination of women. As people of faith we profess that God is all powerful and the source of life. Yet, when it comes to women being ordained, it seems that opponents are saying that this same God who is all powerful and created the heavens and the earth and can bring the dead back to life, somehow, cannot empower a woman to be a priest. Suddenly, we as men believe God becomes powerless when women approach the altar to celebrate Mass. I am in prison for protesting the training of Latin American soldiers at the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA). The SOA is about men in Latin America who abuse their power in order to control the lives of others. They cause people to suffer and are seen as bullies. There are also bullies in prison who cause fear and threaten to punish those who speak out.
Now I have been a Catholic priest for 36 years and I must say, more than ever before, I am convinced that women should be ordained in the Catholic church.The hierarchy will say, "It is the tradition of the church not to ordain women." I grew up in a small town in Louisiana and often heard, "It is the tradition of the South to have segregated schools." It was also "the tradition" in our Catholic church to have the Black members seated in the last five pews of the church. No matter how hard we may try to justify discrimination, in the end, it is always wrong and immoral. As Reverend Nancy Taylor of Boston put it, "Prejudice in liturgical clothing is still prejudice."
We can go to the Scriptures and find numerous passages that support the ordination of women in the church. In Romans 16:7, we read that in the early church of Rome, a woman named Junias is described by Paul as "an apostle" who was imprisoned for spreading the faith. In Galatians 3:26-28, we read, "It is through faith that you are God's sons and daughters. . There is neither male nor female. In Christ Jesus you are all one." And in the Gospels we read that after Jesus was crucified, he chose to appear first to Mary Magdalene and other women. Jesus told the women to go and bring the news of resurrection to the men who, out of fear, were hiding behind locked doors.
Janice has been very active in the SOA Watch movement. As a high school teacher, she participated in a nonviolent protest against the SOA and was sent to prison for three months. Janice and the more than 250 others in our movement who have gone to prison are called, "Prisoners of Conscience."Conscience is something very sacred. It gives us a sense of right and wrong and urges us to do the right thing. Conscience is what compelled Franz Jagerstatter to refuse to enlist in Hitler's army. On this day, August 9, 1943, this humble farmer was executed for following his conscience. Conscience is what compelled Rosa Parks to say, "No, I cannot sit in the back of the bus anymore." Conscience is what compels Janice Sevre-Duszynska and the other women to say, "No, we cannot deny our call from God to the priesthood." And it is our conscience that compels us to be here today. How can we speak out against the injustice of our country's foreign policy in Latin America and Iraq if we are silent about the injustice of our church here at home? Janice, all of us present in this church today, and the many who cannot be here, support you and walk in solidarity with you in the struggle for peace, justice and equality.
May our loving God bless you in your ministry and journey of faith.

Here's the paintings that will be on exhibit!
Hope those in the Los Angeles area can stop in for the opening or during the two weeks exhibit will be up. For others who will be in the area from March 15th to the 30th, please try to stop by Tonali Studio to view the exhibit in celebration of Womyn in Mind - a celebration of collectives and organizations across the Eastside of Los Angeles for Women's History Month.


Its discovery in this ancient "sea monster" - an ichthyosaur - appears to confirm the animal was warm-blooded, a rarity in reptiles.
The ichthyosaur's outer layer is still somewhat flexible and retains evidence of the animal's camouflage pattern.
The reptile was counter-shaded - darker on the upper side and light on the underside. This counter-balances the shading effects of natural light, making the animal more difficult to see.
"Ichthyosaurs are interesting because they have many traits in common with dolphins, but are not at all closely related to those sea-dwelling mammals," said co-author Mary Schweitzer, professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University (NCSU).
Their similar appearance suggests that ichthyosaurs and whales evolved similar strategies to adapt to marine life - an example of convergent evolution.
Prof Schweitzer said: "They have many features in common with living marine reptiles like sea turtles, but we know from the fossil record that they gave live birth, which is associated with warm-bloodedness."
Most reptiles today are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperature is determined by the warmth of their surroundings. Blubber helps some marine animals maintain a high body temperature regardless of the ocean water temperature.
Co-author Johan Lindgren, from Lund University in Sweden, told BBC News: "Blubber is found in living marine mammals but notably also adult individuals of the leatherback sea turtle. Its primary role in all of these animals seems to be insulation, and the leatherback is unique in many aspects.
Image caption Comparisons between artificially matured modern porpoise blubber and skin and the equivalent from a fossil ichthyosaur.
"It has metabolic rates that are higher than are those of typical reptiles, and a suite of measures for heat retention and control, and collectively these enable adult leatherbacks to venture into cold water environments.
"So, ichthyosaurs were able to control their body temperature at least as well as leatherbacks, but then it is hard to say if they were fully endothermic (warm-blooded) or not."
The researchers identified the blubber and skin remains on a well-preserved ichthyosaur specimen held by the Urweltmuseum Hauff in Germany. It was discovered in Holzmaden quarry, in the country's south-west, which has produced many other well-preserved fossils from the Jurassic Period.
The fossil was subjected to an exhaustive analysis of its microscopic structure and molecular composition.
"Both the body outline and remnants of internal organs are clearly visible," said co-author Johan Lindgren, from Lund University in Sweden.
"Remarkably, the fossil is so well-preserved that it is possible to observe individual cellular layers within its skin."
The researchers identified cell-like microstructures which probably held pigment, and an internal organ thought to be the animal's liver.
The blubber-like material contained fragments of fatty acid molecules.
"This is the first direct, chemical evidence for warm-bloodedness in an ichthyosaur, because blubber is a feature of warm-blooded animals," said Prof Schweitzer.
To provide additional support for this idea, the researchers artificially matured the blubber of a modern porpoise, exposing it to high temperatures and pressures - as it would be during the process of fossilisation.
The resulting "matured" porpoise blubber shared many features with the fossilised version.
As for the ichthyosaur's skin, the camouflage pattern would have provided protection from Jurassic predators such as flying pterosaurs, attacking from above, and pliosaurs (even bigger marine reptiles), which would have attacked from below.
Dr Lindgren said: "Given the density of pigment cells, and the fact that they occur in both the epidermis and dermis, we hypothesise that ichthyosaurs had a really dark dorsal (upper) skin, which is also what you see in many extant whales that are deep divers (as ichthyosaurs) and venture into cold, arctic regions (as did ichthyosaurs).
"A melanic (dark) colouration would benefit ichthyosaurs as a UV protection while at the sea surface, but could perhaps also help ichthyosaurs thermoregulate as is the case in the leatherback sea turtle."
Losing the scales and evolving smooth skin would also have helped ichthyosaurs manoeuvre more easily underwater.
Johan Lindgren said the still-flexible skin meant the specimen must have been fossilised so fast that organic molecules were trapped inside the mineral component of the fossil.
"Soft tissues, such as skin, have hitherto been considered to be so labile (easily broken down) that the only way they can survive is via full replacement by minerals. However, as it turns out, when these minerals are removed, some of the original organics remain," Dr Lindgren explained.


David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest has become less a book and more of a baton used to whack lesser intellectuals with. "Oh," smart people say, "you haven't read Infinite Jest?" No, I have not and, frankly, I don't want to. I have other books I want to read, including ones about cowboys, and ones that contain jokes.
I have neither the time nor interest to take on Wallace's behemoth magnum opus, and that is a knock against it. I'm sure it's a wonderful book deserving of its renown. Still, not going to read it. What I have read, however, are these quotes from it. They're must more manageable, and very enjoyable.
1. You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.
2. Try to learn to let what is unfair teach you.
3. …logical validity is not a guarantee of truth.
4. I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it.
5. That there is such a thing as raw, unalloyed, agendaless kindness. That it is possible to fall asleep during an anxiety attack. That concentrating on anything is very hard work.
6. …almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of 'psst' that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer.
7. Everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else.
8. Sarcasm and jokes were often the bottle in which clinical depressives sent out their most plangent screams for someone to care and help them.
9. God seems to have a kind of laid-back management style I'm not crazy about.
10. The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
Have you seen The Guardian's list of the 100 Best Novels Written in English? Put together by writer Robert McCrum, the list is pretty comprehensive; but, if you ask The Guardian's readers–it has its flaws.
The Guardian's avid readers were quick to critique every aspect of McCrum's list, including his methodology (McCrum limited himself to one book per author) and the list's diversity (readers noted a lack of women authors, authors of color, Irish authors, Nigerian authors, Indian authors, and even Canadian authors.) Individual authors omitted include David Foster Wallace and Kurt Vonnegut. The angry readers have a point; looking at the list, it's hard not to notice the prevalence of white, British, male authors.
The Guardian has taken all of this criticism in stride, and they've come up with a pretty charming way to appease their readers: the publication is inviting all of its critics and fans to contribute their own nominations.
You can write up your own nomination on the Guardian's website. The Guardian is asking for the book title, author, and an explanation as to why it deserves to be included. The publication is also asking for the name of the book you'd boot from the list to make room, so you'll have to make some tough choices if you want to nominate a novel!
You can play puppeteer with the Guardian's list here, and you can view the original list of 100 novels here. What will you be adding to the list?

Barcelona do not want to sell Coutinho – Agent
Veselin Trajkovic in La Liga, Transfer News & Rumours 4 Jul 2019
Despite numerous reports claiming they do, Barcelona apparently aren't looking to sell Philippe Coutinho this summer.
Since his €160 million move from Liverpool last January, the playmaker hasn't been able to show his true quality or secure a place in the starting XI at the Catalan club, despite the departure of Neymar six months earlier and numerous injury issues of winger Ousmane Dembele. He has been linked with a move away, with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and even Liverpool reportedly interested. More recently, reports claimed that a swap-deal with Paris Saint-Germain involving Neymar's return to the Camp Nou was on the cards.
But as relayed by Sky Sports, the Brazilian's representative Kia Joorabchian told RMC Sport that he had spoken with Barcelona sporting director Pep Segura who assured him the club have no intention of parting ways with Coutinho this summer. He also said that there hadn't been any contact from the Ligue 1 champions at all.

La Fratta è una località del comune italiano di Sinalunga, nella provincia di Siena, in Toscana.

Geografia fisica
Situata nella pianura alle pendici delle colline che limitano parte occidentale della Val di Chiana senese, si trova a pochi chilometri dal capoluogo comunale.

Storia
L'odierno borgo sorge all'interno di una storica tenuta, nata su quella che fu una delle più importanti strade dell'antica Roma: la via consolare Cassia e, più precisamente, a metà tra le mansiones (sorta di stazione di posta) Manliana e ad Mensulas.

La prima notizia certa sulla tenuta si ha nel 1208, attraverso l'imposizione di una tassa da parte del governo della Repubblica di Siena; nel XIV secolo invece si attesta l'esistenza di due chiese, una dedicata a San Giovanni, l'altra a San Lorentino de Fratta, entrambe sostituite dalla nuova cappella di San Michele.

In questa tenuta nacque, nel corso del XIII secolo, il noto brigante e nobile ghibellino Ghino di Tacco, al tempo ricercato dalla Repubblica di Siena.

Vi è stato girato il film del 2019 Pinocchio di Matteo Garrone.

Mark Carney: E For Exports?
Mark Carney has received mixed results on his report card amidst the one-year anniversary of his stewardship of the Bank of England (BoE). Sentiments have largely been positive, with some concern over Carney's communication of the iterations of BoE forward guidance plans presented in the last year.
Chancellor George Osborne's plans for a £1-trillion UK export market by 2020 seem to be more unlikely as the deadline approaches. Although Carney has succeeded in pulling the UK economy out of a recession, improving inflation levels and strengthening sterling, it could be argued that his achievements are hindering UK exports.
The strengthened sterling has dealt a direct blow to UK export competitiveness. This makes UK exports more expensive for overseas buyers to purchase – a problem that is particularly pertinent in the Eurozone, the UK's largest export market, with a weakened euro making it difficult for buyers to purchase UK goods and services.
"The UK's economic fortune does not necessarily need to impede UK export growth," says Carl Hasty, Director of international payments specialist Smart Currency Business. "In guiding the UK from recession to growth, Carney has managed to wow the markets into a strong sterling.
"However, the negative effects of this on UK exports are a short-term problem. We need to look at this in the longer-term: a strong UK economy should help UK productivity. We can produce more in order to supply overseas markets – and not just in the Eurozone. Trade agreements and proximity make it easier to trade with Eurozone buyers, but UK exporters should not discount the potential profits from trading with other export markets, too.
"The unlikeliness that we'll reach the £1-trillion exports target isn't a consequence of Carney's policies. It is largely due to a lack of awareness amongst UK exporters about the possibilities that are available to them.
"There exists a considerable amount of support for UK companies wishing to export for the first time or to expand their overseas sales activity. Businesses need to be made aware of this and to grab it with both hands.

Dale Hunter Resigns: Former Caps Coach Says Decision 'Right For Me And My Family'
By Samuel Chamberlain May 14, 2012, 12:56pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Dale Hunter Resigns: Former Caps Coach Says Decision 'Right For Me And My Family'
Former Washington Capitals coach Dale Hunter told the media that he made the decision to resign as the club's head coach after a night's sleep and discussions with his family.
Hunter informed Capitals General Manager George McPhee of his decision to step down Monday morning, less than 48 hours after the Capitals lost to the New York Rangers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
"It was a tough decision," Hunter said. "But it was the right one for me and my family ... I want to go back to the farm, the team [the OHL's London Knights], and the family."
The Knights are scheduled to begin round-robin play in the four-team Memorial Cup Friday night in Shawinigan, Quebec, Canada.
During his 74 games as Washington's head coach, the Capitals became known as a defense-first team that relied on strong goaltending, physical defensive play, and self-sacrifice in making the playoffs.
"I'm proud of these guys for sacrificing and doing what it takes to win," said Hunter. "We came up a goal short [against the Rangers], but not for a lack of effort."
Hunter also appeared to slam the door on the possibility of a return to NHL coaching, saying simply, "I'm going home."

Drag & Drop WordPress Themes?
The drag and drop functionality has been part of WordPress for quite a while – mostly seen in customizing the widgets section of any installed theme. Widgets can easily be dragged and dropped for them to be hidden or displayed on the theme's sidebar or footer. But what if that functionality was applied as a whole and customizing the whole theme would just simply entail dragging and dropping only those elements you will really use without having to mess around with any code at all?
With PageLines' drag and drop framework, that functionality is now a reality. PageLines' cutting-edge and ambitious approach to changing the way websites are built is commendable. Although it installs as a theme in WordPress, it brings with it all the features and options of Pagelines and integrates seamlessly with WordPress' powerful content management system.
The recent release of Pagelines version 2.0 has even more revolutionized website customization. One major change is that in 2.0, Pagelines is now the first major framework based on a responsive grid. This means that the framework itself is responsive and will respond to any device size, big or small.
More options for Page-by-Page and Section customization including 30 sections to add feature sliders, carousels, hero sliders, boxes, banners, mastheads, etc.
2.0 includes a non-destructive Framework upgrades feature that even allows you to revert back to a previous version in case your site runs into issues.
Building a website has always been intimidating especially for non-coders. The fear of messing up a whole site by just missing a dot or a quotation mark is enough to paralyze non-tech savvy website owners from doing even the simplest editing. Pagelines intuitive and easy to use interface is friendly enough to use by non-geeks – dragging and dropping is almost like child's play. Yet it is also powerful enough to execute complex tasks advanced coders will appreciate.
Pagelines might have very well stumbled into a business model that will make creating websites accessible for all.
This looks awesome. I can't wait to check it out more. Finally someone thought of a great way to make it easier.
