Lütke Uentrup (Hochdeutsch: Klein Uentrop) war bis 1930 eine sehr kleine, aber eigenständige Gemeinde nördlich der Lippe und gegenüber von (Hamm-)Uentrop im damaligen Kreis Beckum in der preußischen Provinz Westfalen. Das ehemalige Gemeindegebiet wurde dann der Gemeinde Lippborg als Bauernschaft zugeschlagen. Diese gehört heute wiederum zur Gemeinde Lippetal im Kreis Soest in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Das Dorf Uentrop liegt auf der südlichen, märkischen Seite. Lütke Uentrop liegt auf der nördlichen münsterländischen Seite der Lippe. Allerdings wurde Uentrop durch den Münsterschen Bischof als Siedlungskette u. a. mit Dolberg-Uentrop-Lippborg gegründet. Historisch führte dies zu einem langen Rechtsstreit. Eine Erklärung könnte sein, dass die Lippe weiter südlich verlief oder dass die Dorfansiedlung von der nördlichen Seite, d. h. Lütke Uentrop, auf die südliche Seite verlegt wurde.

Eine Verlegung der Siedlungsstelle von Niederbrüggen, nördlich, nach Hamm, südlich der Lippe, fand auch nach einer Auseinandersetzung statt.

Geografie
Die Gemeinde Lütke Uentrup umfasste eine Fläche von 6,8 km². Sie hatte keinen dörflichen Siedlungskern, sondern bestand aus den einzelnen Höfen einer alten Bauerschaft. Ein Großteil des ehemaligen Gemeindegebiets wird vom Uentruper Wald eingenommen, der von der Bundesautobahn 2 durchquert wird. Im Süden grenzte die Gemeinde an die Lippe.

Geschichte
Lütke Uentrup war eine alte Bauerschaft, die nach der Napoleonischen Zeit zunächst zur Bürgermeisterei Beckum im 1816 gegründeten Kreis Beckum gehörte. Mit der Einführung der Westfälischen Landgemeindeordnung wurde Lütke Uentrup 1844 zu einer Gemeinde im Amt Beckum des Kreises Beckum.

Am 1. April 1930 wurde das seit jeher sehr bevölkerungsarme Lütke Uentrup in die Gemeinde Lippborg eingemeindet. Lippborg wiederum wurde 1969 Teil der Gemeinde Lippetal im Kreis Soest.

Creation stories and epics have performed enormous and essential tasks for human societies. They have explained the universe and defined the meaning of existence. They have entertained us and introduced us to extraordinary events and individuals. Some of these narratives have done their work with such grace and power that they have long outlived the civilizations that first gave them voice. They may also have travelled thousands of miles from their homes. Some of us share the values and beliefs taught in the creation stories and epics of people who died centuries before we were born, who spoke languages we shall never understand, and who lived in places we shall never visit.
Viewed from the perspective of modern historical studies, creation stories offer evidence about religious and cultural belief systems and cosmologies. Epics also deserve our attention, for they relate the adventures and achievements of heroic figures in a culture. Both kinds of narratives can also be important clues for historians and students of history who want to understand and explain the formation of group identity, social relationships, definitions of ethical behavior, and the construction of gender roles and class hierarchies. Some tales may contain elements of both creation stories and epics, offering explanations of the cosmos as well as narratives of the deeds of key individuals.
This portion of the site offers pathways into three texts: the Epic of Gilgamesh, the book of Genesis, and the Popol Vuh. It also includes questions about each of these narratives along with links to other stories and suggestions for further study. You may begin with the Introduction and then proceed to one of the texts, or you may go directly to one of the texts, if you prefer.
I wish to thank Nancy Fitch for her help in setting up this part of the website.

Yakovlev Yak-4 (in caratteri cirillici Яковлев Як-4), bombardiere leggero a corto raggio sviluppato in Unione Sovietica nei primi anni quaranta e progettato dall'OKB 115 Jakovlev diretto da Aleksandr Sergeevič Jakovlev.

Derivato dal precedente Yak-2, era un aereo monoplano ad ala bassa e bimotore; venne utilizzato dalla Voyenno-Vozdushnye Sily, l'aeronautica militare sovietica, durante la seconda guerra mondiale.

Storia del progetto
Nato nell'estate del 1940 come versione migliorata dello Yakovlev BB-22, e quindi a sua volta denominato BB-22bis, il bimotore realizzato dall'OKB Yakovlev avrebbe ricevuto la denominazione finale come Yak-4 solamente nel dicembre dello stesso anno, in occasione della revisione complessiva del sistema di nomenclatura utilizzato dalla V-VS.

La modifica principale consisteva nell'impiego dei più potenti motori Klimov M-105 in sostituzione degli originari M-103, ma vennero introdotte numerose modifiche strutturali ed aerodinamiche grazie alle quali Jakovlev contava di superare i difetti evidenziati dalla prima versione del bombardiere. Venne perciò modificata l'ala, al cui interno furono installati ulteriori serbatoi di carburante in aggiunta a quelli preesistenti, variata la struttura del carrello d'atterraggio, le cui unità principali passarono alla configurazione con ruote gemelle, ed infine ulteriormente rivista la cabina di pilotaggio già oggetto di precedenti interventi di modifica.

Il BB-22bis entrò in produzione presso il GAZ-81 nel novembre del 1940, soppiantando sulle linee di montaggio il modello originario, per quanto presentasse ancora problemi di stabilità che ne facevano, almeno a pieno carico, un velivolo che solo i piloti più esperti potevano condurre in sicurezza. A produzione già in corso vennero introdotte modifiche alle rastrelliere alari rendendole idonee al trasporto di bombe più pesanti e di serbatoi supplementari di carburante sganciabili.

Sebbene alcune fonti indichino in 600 il numero di esemplari di Yak-2 e Yak-4 complessivamente costruiti, altri attribuiscono al costruttore una ricostruzione non veritiera dei numeri che si attesterebbero invece a circa 200 unità complessivamente costruite, numero da suddividere equamente tra i due diversi modelli.

Tecnica

Cellula

Lo Yak-4 manteneva inalterata l'impostazione del predecessore: era un velivolo bimotore ad ala bassa e la sua fusoliera aveva sezione ovale e struttura mista. La parte anteriore e centrale della fusoliera aveva struttura a semiguscio, con rivestimento lavorante in compensato su quattro correntini e undici ordinate, con la parte inferiore integrata nell'ala, anch'essa in legno e costruita in un unico pezzo assemblato su due robusti longheroni e trentatré centine con rivestimento lavorante in compensato.

La cabina di pilotaggio vedeva il pilota ed il navigatore (cui spettavano anche compiti di mitragliere) disposti in tandem sotto un'unica cappottina vetrata; rispetto allo Yak-2 la superficie vetrata era stata ampliata anche verso la parte inferiore della fusoliera, al fine di garantire una maggiore visuale al pilota.

La zona posteriore della fusoliera aveva struttura in tubi d'acciaio saldati, a formare una travatura reticolare secondo lo schema "Warren" imbullonata all'estremità posteriore della parte lignea centrale e ricoperta in lega leggera, mentre era stata abbandonata la struttura secondaria collassabile in volo, caratteristica dello Yak-2.

L'ala sosteneva le gondole dei motori, allungate posteriormente a sporgere oltre il bordo di uscita, su cui, da entrambi i lati delle gondole, si estendevano ipersostentatori con struttura in duralluminio e rivestimento in tela. Rispetto allo Yak-2 vennero ricavati serbatoi supplementari di carburante integrati nella struttura all'estremità delle ali, ciascuno della capienza di 90 litri.

Gli impennaggi erano del tipo a doppia deriva in duralluminio.

Il carrello d'atterraggio era di tipo triciclo posteriore, con gli elementi anteriori dotati di doppia ruota ed imperniati all'interno delle gondole motore, entro cui si ritraevano ruotando all'indietro. In posizione retratta, le ruote del carrello anteriore sporgevano parzialmente delle gondole motore al fine di facilitare gli atterraggi d'emergenza a carrello retratto. Nel cono di coda della fusoliera, era alloggiato un ruotino di tipo sterzante, anch'esso retraibile.

Motore
Principale elemento di discontinuità rispetto allo Yak-2 era costituito dall'impiego di una coppia di motori Klimov M-105 in luogo degli M-103 precedenti; dotato di compressore (di tipo meccanico) a doppia velocità e di doppia valvola d'aspirazione per ogni cilindro, l'M-105 era un motore a dodici cilindri a V raffreddati a liquido, in grado di sviluppare la potenza di 1 050 hp (pari a 783 kW). In considerazione dei problemi di surriscaldamento incontrati, rispetto allo Yak-2 vennero rivisti gli impianti di alimentazione e raffreddamento dei motori.

Armamento
La parte centrale della fusoliera dello Yak-4 incorporava un vano bombe interno nel quale potevano essere sistemate quattro bombe FAB-100 da 100 kg ciascuna oppure venti bombe di minori dimensioni, inoltre era prevista la possibilità di trasportare altre due FAB-100 in rastrelliere subalari. Nel corso della produzione le rastrelliere vennero modificate al fine di poter trasportare anche bombe FAB-250 (da 250 kg), portando la capacità offensiva teorica ad un massimo di 900 kg di bombe.

L'armamento difensivo era costituito da due mitragliatrici ShKAS calibro 7,62 mm, camerate per il munizionamento 7,62 × 54 mm R: una disposta in posizione fissa nella prua dell'aereo e dotata di 450 proiettili, l'altra, brandeggiabile dalla postazione del navigatore, era fornita di 1 000 proiettili.

Impiego operativo
Le ultime consegne degli Yak-4 avvennero nel mese di aprile del 1941 ed alla vigilia dell'Operazione Barbarossa erano 24 gli esemplari in servizio presso il 314º ed il 316º Reggimento da Ricognizione ed il 136º Reggimento da Bombardamento, inquadrati nel distretto militare di Kiev anche se i tempi di consegna, a ridosso dell'inizio della guerra non avevano consentito l'acclimatamento degli equipaggi con il nuovo velivolo.

All'inizio dell'invasione tedesca gli Yak-4 vennero impiegati in missioni di ricognizione in ragione della loro velocità superiore a quella degli altri aerei sovietici disponibili e in diverse occasioni si dimostrarono in grado di sfuggire all'intercettazione da parte dei Messerschmitt Bf 109E, ma alla sera del 10 giugno 1941, dopo aver svolto complessivamente 127 missioni, gli esemplari in condizioni operative si erano ridotti a non più di sei o sette. Altri Yak-4 erano inquadrati nel 3º Corpo Aereo da Bombardamento a lungo raggio e parteciparono, insieme ad alcuni Ilyushin DB-3, ad un raid contro il ponte sulla Beresina.

Dei circa cento esemplari costruiti complessivamente solamente una trentina risultavano ancora in linea all'inizio del mese di ottobre del 1941, dispersi presso diversi reparti (10º, 44º, 48º e 53º Reggimento da Bombardamento a medio raggio e 53º Reggimento a corto raggio), mentre, da racconti di testimoni oculari, sembrerebbe almeno uno Yak-4 sia sopravvissuto integro al conflitto.

Impact-based forecasting informs anticipatory action
As the economic and human impacts of extreme weather and climate change increase, forecasts not just of what the weather will BE, but of what the weather will DO are vital to save lives and livelihoods.
As a result, there is a paradigm shift towards impact-based forecasting, driven by the international meteorological and humanitarian community and facilitated by leaps in science and technology.
"Over the last 50 years there has been a five-fold increase in recorded weather, climate and water-related hazards, with long-lasting socio-economic consequences. The number of deaths has decreased thanks to increased availability of accurate and timely warnings. But it is still unnecessarily high, as a result of lack of understanding of potential impacts," says Cyrille Honoré, Director, Disaster Risk Reduction and Public Services Branch at the World Meteorological Organization.
"This needs to change," he says.
WMO has consequently expanded its Guidelines on Multi-hazard Impact-based Forecast and Warning Services, first produced in 2015 as a standard reference text.
The guidance provides practical information and case studies on how to move from weather forecasts and warnings issued by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services to the provision of impact-based forecast and warning services of multiple cascading hazards (for instance a tropical cyclone, which triggers flooding, storm surge, wind damage, impacts on infrastructure, transport and energy and on health systems).

SBI puts NPAs worth Rs 424 crore on sale via auction
IANS9 April 2019 9:51 AM GMT
New Delhi: State-run State Bank of India (SBI) said on Tuesday that it has put non-performing assets (NPAs or bad loans) worth Rs 423.67 crore on auction to recover unpaid dues.
The accounts -- Kamachi Industries owes Rs 364.80 crore and SNS Starch has Rs 58.87 crore due - to SBI, the bank said. The bidding for these properties will start on April 25.
SBI, the country's largest lender, has been active as well on NPA recovery channels outside the insolvency process .
The bank is looking to sell all of these stressed assets on a 100 per cent cash-basis, but the actual realisation will depend on the reserve price and bids received from the buyers.
The SBI has seen its asset quality improve in the current fiscal. The percentage of its net NPAs eased to 3.95 per cent in the third quarter of the last fiscal, from 4.84 per cent in the previous quarter.
Last month, the bank had put NPAs worth Rs 6,169 crore on auction.

New Myrtle Beach seasonal flights from HIA start in May
It's better than driving.
Harrisburg International Airport Executive Director Tim Edwards underscored that point Tuesday as HIA and Allegiant Air announced new flights to Myrtle Beach.
Given the 500-plus miles of asphalt which separate Central Pennsylvania from South Carolina, Edwards believes the pitch will resonate with midstate travelers who already flock to the resort for sandy beaches and golf courses.
The trips will operate twice weekly from May 19 through Sept. 18.
"Now you can spend more time on the beach and less in the car," Edwards said.
Myrtle Beach will be Allegiant's fourth nonstop destination from HIA. The growing Las Vegas-based budget carrier already served Orlando (Sanford), St. Petersburg and Punta Gorda in Florida.
"Allegiant is excited to give Harrisburg travelers the chance to visit Myrtle Beach nonstop for much less," said Allegiant COO Jude Bricker. "We're confident that travelers will enjoy planning their ultra-low-cost summer vacations with us to take advantage of all that Myrtle Beach has to offer."
Edwards said nearly 300,000 passengers have flown on Allegiant services from the airport since 2012, at an average one-way price of $66 per ticket.
"New airline service is very difficult to secure, especially from the smaller markets, like Harrisburg," Edwards said. "Most of the airlines are focusing their new opportunities on larger markets or international routes."
That, Edwards said, is a factor of the many airline mergers in recent years, "so there are fewer opportunities out there for airports to secure more airline service."
And that, he added, is why officials hope passengers will take advantage of the new service, giving Allegiant more reasons to do business in Harrisburg.
"Use it or lose it," Edwards said.
In addition to Allegiant, HIA is served by Air Canada, American, Delta and United, with nonstop service to Philadelphia, Washington (Dulles), Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Charlotte and Atlanta.

Center for the Arts and Humanities
The Black Extra/ordinary
Organized by Christina Knight
Haverford College, VCAM (Visual Culture, Arts, and Media)
"…because we are only usually singular, only the one, in an extraordinariness that from one point of view obscures suffering…and rarely 'singular' or 'one' in our putatively visible suffering or vulnerability despite that being, for some, all that there is to be seen"
–Christina Sharpe In the Wake: On Blackness and Being
This symposium, to take place on October 6-7th 2017, in Haverford College's new VCAM facility, will center on blackness and visuality. In presenting work related to historical archives, social media, fine arts and other arenas, The Black Extra/ordinary will explore the poles of black representation, which too often telescope from spectacular accomplishment to mundane suffering with little attention to all that falls between.
Beginning on the evening of the 6th with a performative keynote address by Philly-based performance artist Jaamil Kosoko, day two of The Black Extra/ordinary will bring together artists, scholars and curators, primarily from the greater Philadelphia area, to workshop new approaches to the study, curation and imaging of blackness. The second day will conclude with an artist-led walk-through of Sadie Barnette's Dear 1968,… exhibition at Haverford's Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery.
All events are free and open to the public. The Black Extra/ordinary is sponsored by the Interdisciplinary Minor in Visual Studies, VCAM (Visual Culture, Arts, and Media), the John B. Hurford '60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and its Tuttle Creative Residencies Program, and the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery.

White State | Black Mind
Performance Keynote and Discussion with Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, and IMMA
Moderated by Christina Knight, Ph.D
7:00-8:15 p.m.
Founders Common Room
"We do know, however, what blackness indicates: existence without standing in the modern world system. To be black is to exist in exchange without being a party to exchange. Being black is belonging to a state organized according to its ignorance of your perspective - a state that does not, that cannot, know your mind.... It is a kind of invisibility."
- Bryan Wagner, Disturbing the Peace: Black Culture and the Police Power after Slavery
Performance and other forms of creative practice can reimagine or reframe the world, but how does performance as an activist practice help us foreground and work through structural and systemic forms of violence and oppression, in particular as these relate to Black identities? What might queer, oblique and alternative readings of society reveal about the intricacies and multiplicities of Blackness? Jaamil Olawale Kosoko with collaborators IMMA and Jeremy Toussaint Baptiste discuss these issues and more with scholar Christina Knight.
This presentation will include a preview screening of the film White State | Black Mind: The Making of #negrophobia as well as an excerpt from Kosoko's newest work Séancers scheduled to premiere Dec. 6-9, 2017 at Abrons Arts Center in New York City. Come and join us for a discussion about Kosoko's work and some of the broader critical issues and stakes it raises. (Please note: The film includes brief nudity and performance texts may include mature language).
White State | Black Mind is made possible through generous residency support from Haverford College, Bennington College, and the University of Sussex, Brighton with additional producing support from Sara Jane Bailes and funding support from the Princeton Arts Fellowship and independent donors and friends of Jaamil Olawale Kosoko. The film is edited by Marica De Michele with sound mixing by Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste.
All events in VCAM Object Study/Media Production Classroom 201 unless otherwise noted.
8:30–9 a.m.
9–10:30 a.m.
Panel One: Black (Self) Fashion(ing)
Moderator: Lindsay Reckson: Assistant Professor of English, Haverford College
Imani Roach, "Good to Me as I Am to You: Soul moves from Detroit '67 to Aretha's fur." Equal parts cultural criticism, artist's talk and homage, this paper explores the tactical interplay of restraint and abandon in soul performance as exemplified by Aretha Franklin. Reading her recent penchant for a dramatically discarded fur coat through her virtuosic recordings of the late 1960s, I consider the capacity and limitations of her body as both sonic vessel and liberatory figure.
Tanisha Ford, "Excessorizing: Black Girls, Violence, and the Pleasures of Getting Dressed." Ford will discuss her new project on the pleasure and violence of getting dressed. Centering her presentation on Dajerria Becton, the Texas teenager who was brutally assaulted by officer Eric Casebolt on June 5, 2015, she will examine the power of the emotional and the role that trauma plays in how black girls and femmes remember their clothes and how they experience being dressed. Despite (and because of) this cycle of pleasure and violence, she contends, they continue to innovate with clothing, accessories, and hairstyling--often delighting in their own "excess."
10:30–10:45 a.m.
10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m.
Panel Two: Displaying Diaspora: Blackness and Museums
Moderator: Juli Grigsby, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College
Brittany Webb, "Black Skin, White Gaze: On Visuality and Racialized Space." Many institutions devoted to the collecting, researching and exhibiting of Black visual culture in the United States have origins tied to mid-twentieth century intellectual and political activism. These institutions were formed in response to the absence of Black exhibitions in major mainstream exhibiting spaces and designed to center Black history, subjectivity and creative production in their displays and in their target audiences. In this era of neoliberal cultural consumption, where diversity is now big business for most major institutions, I want to consider the ways current options for consuming Black visual culture has impacted the work of Black institutions, affecting how exhibitions presented in these spaces are read by their viewing audiences.
Monique Scott, "Exhibiting the African Imaginary." Museums have long constructed an imaginary Africa through the reductive, metonymic and deeply embedded colonial context of the traditional anthropological exhibition. In this talk, Scott will share the research for her first book, Envisioning African Origins (2007). That work considered how visitors to exhibitions in New York City, London and Nairobi often continue to view African origins through the lens of color-coded narratives of progress from bestial African prehistory to a civilized European present. She also found that the sources of these teleological assumptions were complicated and dynamic, a product of culturally-encoded exhibition media and the cultural preconceptions that museum visitors bring with them to exhibitions, including those derived from the racial folklore circulating outside the museum that continues to stigmatize African peoples as bestial spectacle. Scott also considers how new exhibitions of African objects in Philadelphia's art and anthropology museums both reaffirm and resist traditional approaches to exhibiting the African imaginary.
12:15–1:45 p.m.
VCAM Community Kitchen & Presentation Lounge
1:45–3:15 p.m.
Panel Three: Black Visual Art and the Political Imaginary
Moderator: William Williams, Audrey A. and John L. Dusseau Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Fine Arts, Haverford College
Kelli Morgan, "'A Far More Familiar Figure': How Curatorial Conversations Extend Well Beyond the Museum." In this piece, Dr. Kelli Morgan, the Winston and Carolyn Lowe Fellow for Diversity in the Fine Arts at the Penn Academy of the Fine Arts, will discuss the cultural studies and social justice basis of her curatorial practice. Through specific examples from various exhibitions and programs she's organized, Morgan shows how historic works of American art present much more than meets the eye.
Raél Jero Salley, "Looking After Freedom: Dreams, Imagination, and Everyday Life." The color, line, shape, mass, scale and composition of Looking After Freedom in art and visual culture is the story of this paper presentation. Central to this account is address to recent artworks by South African artists Dineo Seshee Bopape, Kemang Wa Lehulere, Zanele Muholi, and Mohau Modisekeng, which simultaneously acknowledge a (supposedly) universal sense of the distinction between abstract and concrete forms, while offering something else altogether: subjects that flicker in and out of graspable sight. This paper will examine the ways in which these artist's pictures may be interpreted as "flickering" between extraordinary abstract forms and ordinary, mundane realisms. It will begin to suggest how critical artworks offer a substantive and independent alternative to the assumptions of critical archives that contextualize the works and their subjects in history. In this way, the artists' contemporary visual practices participate in an ongoing, previous dialogue with a contemporary passed (and past), and subjects once again made relevant although they had been relegated to the past or to memory. My intention is to position dream work and critical imagination as promising bases for shaping looking, after freedom, so I address the complex activity of imagination, medium and body in visual imagery in ways that help to support my claim that no study of contemporary art in or out of Africa can afford to skirt these crucial issues.
3:15–4 p.m.

Dear 1968,... Exhibition Walk-Through with Artist Sadie Barnette & Concluding Reception
Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, Whitehead Campus Center
In Dear 1968,… artist Sadie Barnette mines personal and political histories using family photographs, recent drawings, and selections from the 500-page file that the FBI amassed after her father joined the Black Panther Party in 1968.
This immersive reimagining of the family album demonstrates that Barnette's family story is not theirs alone. Examining the fraught relationship between the personal and the political, the everyday and the otherworldly, the past and the present, she reveals that the injustices of 1968 have not yet been relegated to the pages of history, but live on in new forms today.
Dear 1968,… originated at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis and was curated by Francesca Wilmott, associate curator. Support for its presentation at Haverford College is provided by The John B. Hurford '60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery.

William Williams
"Something happened here," you might say to yourself as you look at William Williams's photographs. Somehow, the sun soaked porch in his 1995 photo of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House is haunted by the echo of creaking floorboards where the author walked. Pictures of the Orantange River or springs in Delaware where once soldiers camped seem pregnant with stories. The viewer is obliged to re-examine the influence of terrain and architecture on the course of history when looking at Mr. Williams's photograph of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood room. Did Lincoln dream of becoming President after putting out a lamp after some late night reading? Is greatness stuck in the space between those rough beams? How could so much change be contained within such a tiny structure? Did Lincoln have any idea of the journey he was setting out on when he last passed through that sliver of a door? Mr. Williams's photos ask these questions, and in so doing bring ordinary life to larger-than-life history. Curiously, this transaction does not diminish the heroes, on which it focuses, but instead makes their achievements all the more remarkable. We can see how similar to us they were in the matter of fact aspects of life. And we can begin to wonder about what greatness, what capacity for change, and what power to pursue justice we may contain. The Esther Klein Gallery and the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, Smith College, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio have all mounted solo exhibitions of Mr. Williams's work. His photographs have also been included in exhibitions at Historic Yellow Springs in Pennsylvania, the Baltimore Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Tampa Museum in Florida and the Princeton University Museum. Mr. Williams's photographs are on permanent exhibition at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. His photographs are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art Washington among others. He has been honored with a grant from the Ford Foundation and fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Pew Fellowships in the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Massachusetts Council on the Arts. Mr. Williams has also received numerous faculty research grants from Haverford College, where he has been a professor of Fine Arts since 1978 and Curator of Photography since 1981.

Additionally, Knight is working on a new project that examines the influences of drag culture on contemporary black art.


Stuck behind the four inter-crossing panels that form Moderat's backdrop, opener and fellow Berliner Anstam is visible as little more than a backlit shadow. Unperturbed, he jitters around, explaining that the next song is about Terry Gilliam. Cinematic references are obvious in the music, as grandiose themes are dismantled under pounding drums and noises bleeding into the mix. Only when his set ends to I realize I've spent the entirety of it trying to come up with anagrams of Anstam (spoiler: turns out there are none).
I am trying to deal with this personal crisis as Moderat shuffle on stage. Not by any means the most charismatic of musicians, they do seem in good spirits as Sascha Ring attempts some of the worst stage banter I have ever heard in my life (excerpt: "We are finally in Copenhagen. I hope you will like that fact."). Three men behind workstations, like a mutilated Kraftwerk, the band relies on multiple layers of lights and projections behind them to give some visual life to the music.
Unsurprisingly, the setlist consists mainly of tracks from their second album, but the live interpretation of these tracks has a different set of values. In such a large space many of the more subtle or quiet sections of the album are completely lost, and throughout the set they are steadily eliminated in favour of straightforward club beats. This isn't so much music for dancing as it is for standing-awkwardly-with-phone-in-one-hand-and-other-hand-punching-the-air.
Sasha Ring is also allowed much more space for vocals, which on the album generally signal the least interesting tracks. Live, however, they seem to garner the greatest response from the audience, perhaps because they provide the most palpable connection between band and audience. The evening is sold out, but most people in the crowd seem to be spending more time taking pictures of each other than listening to the music. Once again, during the break before the encore, I snap back into reality and discover I have spent the last hour looking at the ceiling and making a mental list of thing I have to do next week.


In the Martinoire industrial estate, one of the world's leading providers of transport and logistical services – and the main supplier of France's largest mail order company located nearby – has had a 42,000 sq. m. logistical and office platform built. The first building was delivered in 2009 and the second one in 2011.


SOFI SP8-F universal programmer supports high-speed programming of nearly all 24/25/93/BR90 chips. In the number of supportive serial memories and the writing speed, it greatly exceeds most general and similar special programmers that cost over 1000 RMB. It has a unique function of ISP online programming and supports more chips with continuous software upgrade. With exquisite shells made through professional mould opening and with advanced software/hardware design.
Three types SOFI SP8 series programmers: SP8-A, SP8-B and SP8-F. SP8 is special programmers with the highest speed for programming serial memories (Note 1), the most types of supportive devices (Note 2) and the highest performance/price ratio in China. It fully satisfies the needs of home appliance and digit maintenance, engineering research and development, and mass production in factories.
Adopts 40PIN gilded ZIF socket for wide/narrow dual purposes.
Can be directly applied to inline chips with eight to sixteen pins.
Can directly use any general adapter, with a pin width of either 300mil or 600mil.
Can directly use an adapter with up to 40 pins.
SP8 was originally designed with a 16-pin ZIF socket (the left figure below), which was found later to support only 300mil chips and adapters. However, adapters available in the market are basically 600mil, and thus cannot insert into a 16-pin ZIF socket, which limits the application of such SP8. Based on this reason, SOFI decisively modified its moulds and adopted 40-pin narrow applicable ZIF socket.
The whole SP8 series has special ISP interfaces buffered with special chips, and supports 2.0V~5.5V target boards (chips).
ISP power supply has protection function against over-current and short circuit, automatically detects the supply situation of target boards and thus avoids power supply conflicts.
It can be used to online upgrade of main-board BIOS (application example: Use SP8-A programmer to upgrade online BIOS of MSI MS-7392 main-board.
Both SP8-B and SP8-F support online high-speed mass production, but only SP8-F has the function of offline mass production, which is very applicable to mass programming memories and thus saves much costs for equipment purchase and labor.
In programming, operators do not have to operate the computer, but only continuously put in and get out chips.
You can connect several programmers to one computer for synchronous and asynchronous high-speed programming. Plug and write. No synchronous waiting. Top speed and high efficiency.


don't guess they are doing the rolls anymore. but they did respond quickly with 1 8x10 sheet of the window frosting film.
yep, that was my thoughts after reading your previous post. I'm sure the thoughts in the beginning was for them to give each shop a few samples , mayb even up to $100 in samples that would turn around to $1000s in orders from these shops. but if like you said, floods of hobbyists got all they could for free .then only ordered minimums in return , def makes for a huge flop in that marketing idea. with me being a newbie.....I just ordered samples of stuff I haven't tried, plan on trying it out, making a display sample and hopefully turn it into profit for all.

DOAC in COVID-19: Yes or No?
Schutgens, Roger E.

It is commonly known that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exposes patients at increased risk for thrombosis. Prevalences range from 2.6% to 35.3% from earlier reports and despite adequate thromboprophylaxis symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in 4.4% of patients, ischemic stroke in 2.5%, and myocardial infarction in 1.1%.1 Available evidence suggests that the coagulopathy associated with COVID-19 is a combination of low-grade disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and localized pulmonary thrombotic microangiopathy.2 Current guidelines recommend thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in all hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The American College of Chest Physicians suggests prophylactic dose LMWH in all patients, while the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis also suggests half-therapeutic dose in patients at high risk.1
Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) drugs are now standard of treatment in venous thrombosis and atrial fibrillation. Therefore, the chance of hospital admission for patients already treated with a DOAC is increasing. Even more so, treatment of COVID-19 related pulmonary embolism with a DOAC is done in many clinics. But what is the current evidence of their use in COVID-19?
DOAC and cytochrome P450
DOACs interact with P-glycoprotein and/or cytochrome P450 (CYP)-based metabolic pathways. Many classes of drugs cause drug-drug interactions, in such a way modifying the DOAC pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile and causing a remarkable decrease or increase of their anticoagulant action. Indeed, antiviral drugs such as remdesivir are substrates of CYP 3A4, CYP 2D6, and CYP 2C8. Dexamethasone is also an inducer of CYP3A4. The multiple drug-drug interactions (antiviral, antibiotics, antihypertensive, bronchodilators, and immunosuppressive drugs), in addition to metabolic alterations that are induced by the acute disease, can cause an unpredictable and unstable DOAC anticoagulant effect, exposing patients to the risk of uncontrolled bleeding or thrombotic complications.3 In addition, acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection is frequent, with an incidence of about 3%–15% that increases up to 50% in most severe patients such as those admitted in intensive care units.4
An Italian report analyzed 1039 patients hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia and candidates for antiviral therapy, of whom 32 were on treatment with a DOAC.5 In 12 patients, the DOAC was continued during treatment with antiviral drugs. For each patient, C-trough DOAC level was compared with the one measured at a thrombosis center before hospitalization, where a structured follow-up is applied. In all 12 examined patients, an alarming increase in DOAC plasma levels compared with prehospitalization was observed after hospital admission (Figure 1).
Changes in C-trough levels (ng/mL) of DOAC in 12 patients with COVID-19. Figure from Testa et al.5 COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; DOAC = direct oral anticoagulant.
Disease-drug interaction
The immune response, with interleukin (IL)-6 in the core of its network of mediators, is a hallmark of COVID-19 pathogenesis.6 This implicates that COVID-19 itself will have an impact on the CYP regulation. In the latter review, it is strongly postulated that CYPs metabolic activity will be inevitably altered, mostly down-regulated, during the course of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (SARS-CoV-2), resulting in a clearance-related pharmacokinetic interaction with the administered drugs.
Blocking the IL-6 receptor (tocilizumab or sarilumab) is therefore focus of research. Current published reports show mixed effects of tocilizumab on the outcome in COVID-19. Very recently, the REMAP CAP platform reported encouraging results on mortality on 2000 patients,7 which might lead to more use of tocilizumab in severe COVID-19 patients in the near future. The same is true for IL-1 blockade (anakinra).
DOAC: stop or start?
There are currently no clinical data on safety or efficacy of DOAC use in COVID-19 patients. There is one retrospective cohort study that acted as a simulation intention-to-treat trial on the effect of anticoagulation therapy chosen in the first 48 hours of hospitalization in 3625 inpatients.8 A significant decrease in mortality with prophylactic use of apixaban (odds ratio [OR] = 0.46, P = 0.001) and enoxaparin (OR = 0.49, P = 0.001) was seen. Therapeutic apixaban was also associated with decreased mortality (OR = 0.57, P = 0.006) but was not more beneficial than prophylactic use when analyzed over the entire cohort or within D-dimer stratified categories.
Patients admitted with COVID-19 using DOAC at home
In light of the above, DOACs should theoretically be stopped and switched to an alternative anticoagulation drug in patients admitted with COVID-19 who are candidates for antiviral or anti-IL6/IL1 therapy. The same goes for the concomitant use of dexamethasone. As the effect of dexamethasone on the CYP system lasts for a week, DOACs might be restarted again after discharge with a minimum of 1 week after stopping dexamethasone. As the risk of interactions between drugs differs with the type of DOAC, it seems that dabigatran may be the DOAC with the lowest risk of interactions with COVID-19 drugs that are metabolized via cytochrome P450.9
Patients admitted with COVID-19 who develop thrombosis during admission
Whether newly diagnosed venous thrombosis during COVID-19 should be treated with a DOAC or not is unknown. Recently, the ISTH DIC subcommittee published a communication on anticoagulation in COVID10: there was no mentioning of the use of DOACs. In fact, a comparison of 7 recently published guidelines on this topic indicates that nowhere DOAC is considered to be a preferable option.11 In patients treated with dexamethasone, antiviral therapy or anti-IL6/1, it is therefore sensible to use LMWH or UFH, which can be switched to a DOAC later on.
The use of DOACs in hospitalized COVID-19 patients is not straightforward. There is ample evidence that both COVID-19 disease and its related treatments have an impact on the cytochrome P450 pathways. This, in turn, might cause decreased or increased anticoagulation activity. As alternative methods (including LMWH) are widely available, it seems wise at this point to stop, convert, or not start DOACs in these patients until more clinical data support their use.

One of the best way of treating the common cold would be to consume Vitamin C laden fruits and juices. Lemons and lime are just two of the fruits which are normally loaded with Vitamin C, and you can treat yourself to a glass of lemon or lime juice laced with a few drops of honey. Oranges may be too sweet and are thus best switched with either lemon or lime. Ginger is also very effective in the treatment of the common cold. Homemade ginger tea is very simple to make. You only need to boil a few strips or slices of fresh ginger for a few minutes and then take it as a tea. For flavor you can add a very scant amount of brown sugar or organic honey.
2. Mix the following ingredients and drink 2 spoons of this syrup after you've eaten your meal: lemon juice, a tablespoon of brandy and honey.
3. Add a few spoons of whiskey and honey to a cup of tea. Mix it well until the whiskey sinks down to the bottom of the cup and drink it.
4. Mix ginger, honey and a clove of garlic and drink it. It should be done on a daily basis until the cold is over.
5. Put a bit of salt on a radish and eat it. Might not be very tasty but it's a common remedy.
6. A hot water bath is very good for nasal congestion relief.
7. Mix garlic oil with onion juice in warm water and drink it. If you want to make the taste better then add a tablespoon of honey to it.
8. Chicken noodle soup is very good for nasal congestion.
9. A green Chinese tea is known to be a common cold remedy.
10. Chamomile tea is very good for fever.


Ramakrishna didn't reply to Vivekananda's question. After a few days Ramakrishna called upon Vivekananda and handed him a parcel to be delivered at a nearby village a few hours away by the sea route.
Early morning the boat and sailor would be ready and all he needed to do was to go to the village and deliver the parcel to the designated person.
Vivekananda agreed and decided to start early. He found the boat and the sailor ready to put out to sea. Suddenly, upon sitting in the boat, Vivekananda realized that he didn't know the road to the village. He inquired of the sailor who had no clue, either. Vivekananda decided to go back to his guru to ask him the shortest way to the village.

Spartan Cappie Review Published on Cincinnati.com!
We have a published writer! Emily Bruns' review of Cincinnati Christian School's production of A Curious Savage was featured amongst eight other Cappie Critics in the area on Cincinnati.com. This is the first year that Spartans have joined the Cappies and to have one of our own featured on Cincinnati.com is great!


Sources say Rex Henry was running for tribal council, trying to get casino money used for things like schools, housing, elder care, language revitalization, and jobs training. There is little information available on Henry's death and any resulting investigation.
There is not much information available. Here is a roundup.
An inmate was found dead at the Neshoba County Jail Tuesday morning.
Authorities say 53-year-old Rexdale Henry of Philadelphia was found by officers just after 10 a.m. He was last seen alive around 9:30.
An autopsy is being performed and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is looking into the death.
Helping with the family's independent probe are civil-rights activists John Steele, a close friend of Henry's, and Diane Nash, a cofounder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, as well as Syracuse University law professors Janis McDonald and Paula Johnson of the school's Cold Case Justice Initiative.
"At a time when the nation is focused on the terrible circumstances of the brutal death of Sandra Bland, it is critical to expose the many ways in which Black Americans, Native Americans and other minorities are being arrested for minor charges and end up dead in jail cells," McDonald said in a statement.
Perhaps the lack of coverage is itself newsworthy.


Broadly speaking, "genre" is a classification concept. A genre is a recurring and recognized pattern of communication that has a specific name. The web hosts many recognised genres, such as FAQs, press releases, product descriptions, instructions, guides, e-magazines, blogs, professional profiles, how-tos, web ads and reviews. Each of these genres serves a number of communicative and social purposes and carries additional contextual information that helps the reader interpret the content. Can web genres be identified and detected automatically? Which computational models have been tried out so far in automatic genre identification research? How well do they perform? In this talk, I will present and discuss the latest findings in automatic genre identification and suggest viable future directions.

Q: Only importing up to the maximum value of one of my columns I am using matplotlib and numpy, and I am making graphs. The data format I am using is .csv. In the csv file I am using there are three columns. I wonder, is there a way to only import data up until the peak/lowest values of one of my columns?
Context: I am using Langmuir troughs with lipid monolayers and compressing and expanding barriers to increase/decrease the area
I am trying to plot pressure and fluorescence against the area. However, the program that takes this data performs a complete cycle of compression and expansion and I cannot stop the data collection simply when the trough is at its minimum area. So I would like to have Python only import until the area value gets to its lowest point.
example of how my data looks
Area    | Presure | Intensity
12500   |3        | 1
11500   |6        | 12
etc     |8        |25
3000    |12       |38
3500    |19       |54      <==want it to stop importing here
4500    |16       |47
Is this possible??
I have added what Phi has put and It doesn't seem to be working? I still get all of the values included into my graphs code looks like this
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("C:\\Users\\Owner\\Desktop\\Thunberg,Dametre\\5-29 Data and
movies\\New folder (2)\\Data 2.csv", sep=',')
rowmin = df.area.idxmax()
df[:(1 + rowmin)]
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()
area, pressure, pixel = np.loadtxt
("C:\\Users\\Owner\\Desktop\\Thunberg,Dametre\\5-29 Data and movies\\New
folder
(2)\\Data 2.csv", delimiter=",", skiprows=1, unpack=True)
plt.plot(area,pressure, label='area/pressure!',color='b')

plt.xlabel('area', color='b')
plt.ylabel('Pressure', color='b')
ax1.tick_params('y', colors='b')
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
this ax2 creates a second x axis
ax2.set_ylabel('Intensity (measured by average pixel value)', color='r')
this labels the secondary axis and chooses its color
ax2.tick_params('y', colors='r')
this Chooses the color of the ticks in the axis
ax2.plot(area,pixel, color='r')
this is what actually plots the second graph of area vs intensity
plt.title('Kibron Trough Pressure-Area-Intensity Graph')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

A: Before reading the whole file, you cannot be sure which value is the highest. The simpler solution is to read the whole file and then drop rows.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('yourfile.csv', sep=',')
rowmax = df.Intensity.idxmax()
df[:(1 + rowmax)]

A: My understanding is that the file is changing in time so that you want to be able to check if minimum was detected. Think you can do this if you watch for file changes. Below I provide the simplest approach but you could "fortify" it by adding some time-outs.
import os
import numpy as np
stat_prev = os.stat(fname)
while True:
    data = np.genfromtxt(fname, dtype=np.int, delimiter=',', names=True)
    min_idx = np.argmin(data['Area'])
    if min_idx < len(data) - 1 and data['Area'][min_idx] < data['Area'][min_idx+1]:
        data = data[:min_idx + 1] # <-- remove +1 if min row is the last one
        break # exit main loop;
    # wait for the file to change
    stat_now = os.stat(fname)
    while stat_prev == stat_now: # add some time-out, if you want
        stat_prev = os.stat(fname)

Also, if do not want a structured array and just a simple array, then you can convert data to a simple array using this recipe:
data.view(data.dtype[0]).reshape(data.shape + (-1,))

We are providing products that intelligently humour their owners by satirically hinting to shared emotional needs, thus supporting comic relief, offering consolation, and contributing to the combative strength needed for positive change.
Essentially, Complicated Needs is meant to be a label for sceptical minds facing the crises and griefs of finite existence in an indifferent universe. For existentialists, humanists, eccentrics and philosophers of living, all with a sense of humour, all on the quest for a more fulfilled life. Hopefully, Complicated Needs is for you. If this sounds rather stilted in the context of an online gift shop, that's okay. You may still be happy to have found a place to check out if ever in need for an unusual gift for that upcoming birthday party next Saturday.
