To Theo van Gogh. Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Friday, 3 January 1890.
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised by a visit from Mr Salles who, I believe, had had a letter from you. I was completely well when he came so we were able to talk calmly. But I'm most confused that he should have put himself out for me, the more so because I hope that I've regained my presence of mind for a while. For the moment it seems to me that the best thing will be to carry on here. I'll see what Mr Peyron says when I have a chance to speak to him; he'll probably say that he absolutely cannot guarantee anything in advance, which seems quite right to me.
the same field of the reaper from this summer3 and can be a pendant to it; I think that one will set off the other.
Please don't look at them without putting them on stretching frames and framing them in white.
That's to say, you'll remove the nails from other canvases and mount these on the stretching frames, one by one if you like, to appreciate the effect. For the colourings absolutely need to be set off by the white frame to judge the ensemble. Thus the rain, the grey olive trees, one can scarcely see them without the frame.
This will somewhat fill the hole left by the canvases that have gone off to the Vingtistes – you must ask Tanguy to remove the nails from other canvases and to mount these on stretching frames so that they dry all the way through.
In your previous letter19 you talk of Hugo's drawings – I've just seen a volume of Michelet's (illustrated) Histoire de France. I saw admirable drawings in it by Vierge which were completely like something by Victor Hugo, astonishing things.20 Do you know that? When you see Mr Lauzet ask him if he knows them, there's also a resemblance with Hervier's talent,21 but more complete, with 1r:4 more dramatic figures and effects – it also resembles the illustrations for The life of Frederick the Great by Menzel.22 Most curious.
I think that Vierge has also gone to Charenton,23 but how that fellow has worked. At one time Boggs had a magnificent wood engraving of his, probably published by L'Illustration, Sea-bathing – a crowd of men and women24 – drawing in the manner of Doré, who one day did precisely the same subject very well on a page also published by L'Illustration25 – but then with Vierge there's Daumier's rich execution in full.
Write to me if you can soon after receiving the canvases. Good handshake in thought to you and your wife.
On the basis of letter 836 of 4 January, in which Vincent says that he also wrote to Theo the day before – this must have been the present letter – we have dated this letter to Friday, 3 January 1890.
1. As emerges from letter 838, this consignment also contained a drawing: Fountain in the garden of the asylum (F 1531 / JH 1705 ).
2. Ploughed field with a man carrying a bundle of straw (F 641 / JH 1795 ).
3. Van Gogh is referring to Reaper (F 617 / JH 1753 ) and the repetition Reaper (F 618 / JH 1773 ), which he had sent to Theo at the end of September (see letter 805).
4. The work sent was Ravine (F 662 / JH 1804 ).
5. The painting that still had to dry was Ravine (F 661 / JH 1871 ).
6. The Alpilles with a hut (F 622 / JH 1766 ) was already at Theo's; regarding the consignment, see letter 805.
7. The painting for Mrs van Gogh and Willemien was Women picking olives (F 655 / JH 1869 ). See letter 827, n. 13.
8. This repetition is Women picking olives (F 656 / JH 1870 ).
9. The first study, painted on the spot, is Women picking olives (F 654 / JH 1868 ).
10. Wheatfields with a tree and mountains (F 721 / JH 1864 ).
11. Olive grove (F 586 / JH 1854 ).
12. Olive pickers (F 587 / JH 1853 ).
13. These two paintings are Olive grove (F 707 / JH 1857 ) and Olive grove (F 708 / JH 1855 ).
14. The study from nature is Road menders ('The tall plane trees') (F 657 / JH 1860 ). See letter 824, n. 13. The street was called Cours Est (now boulevard Mirabeau).
15. The repetition is Road menders ('The tall plane trees') (F 658 / JH 1861 ); this version was executed less hastily and more of the depiction has been worked out in detail.
16. Diggers (after Millet) (F 648 / JH 1833 ). For the print, see letter 805, n. 7.
17. Evening (after Millet) (F 647 /JH 1834 ). For the print, La veillée (The evening), see letters 805, n. 10 and 37, n. 16.
18. Rain (F 650 / JH 1839 ).
19. This was letter 830.
20. Daniel Urrabieta Vierge had illustrated all nineteen volumes of Michelet's Histoire de France (1876-1878). One example is the print engraved by Clément Edouard Bellenger: 'Il fit égorger un frère de Bernard et jeter sa soeur dans la Saône' (He had a brother of Bernard strangled and his sister thrown in the Saône). Ill. 1395 . See J. Michelet, Histoire de France. Nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée. Avec illustrations par Vierge. Tome deuxième. Paris 1876, between pp. 12-13.
21. The lithographs and etchings of Adolphe Hervier portray, often by way of caricature, the daily life of Parisians and peasant folk alike. The Album Hervier, published in 1888, contained 43 plates drawn and etched between 1840 and 1860.
22. For Kugler's Geschichte Friedrichs des Großen, with illustrations by Menzel, see letter 133, n. 19.
23. In 1881 Daniel Urrabieta Vierge had a stroke, after which he could not speak, draw or paint for two years. Nothing has been found about his supposed stay in the lunatic asylum of Charenton. Cf. Jules de Marthold, Daniel de Vierge. Sa vie, son oeuvre. Paris 1906.
24. This beach scene has not been traced.
25. For Doré's Sea bathing , see letter 267, n. 35.

U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Appeal of Coal Exec Convicted in 29 Miner Deaths
FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint分享Charleston (W.V.) Gazette:The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship's appeal of his criminal mine safety conviction, the court announced Tuesday.Justices turned down Blankenship's petition, including it on a weekly order list of more than 200 cases in which a request for a "writ of certiorari" — the type of order in which the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case — was denied without any reason given or further comment offered.In doing so, the court allowed to stand Blankenship's conviction for conspiracy to violate federal mine safety and health standards at Massey's Upper Big Branch Mine, where 29 miners died in an April 5, 2010 explosion."We are pleased with but not surprised by the Supreme Court's decision to deny the Blankenship petition," said U.S. Attorney Carol Casto. "Now, hopefully, the families of those lost and others impacted by the UBB explosion and long history of safety violations can find some closure and begin the long and difficult process of healing."Two years ago this month, jurors in U.S. District Court in Charleston began hearing testimony against Blankenship in the high-profile case involving charges against a coal executive who was once one of the region's most powerful figures in a trial that focused on the rampant safety violations at Upper Big Branch in the months leading up to West Virginia's worst coal-mining disaster in a generation.Blankenship, 67, was convicted of conspiracy to violate safety rules and then sentenced by U.S. District Judge Irene C. Berger to pay a $250,000 fine and spend one year in prison, both the maximum allowed under current federal law that classifies criminal mine safety violations as misdemeanors. Blankenship completed his one-year prison sentence in early May, and is currently serving his one year of supervised release. Berger recently modified the terms of Blankenship's supervised release so that he could report to probation officials in Las Vegas, where he now lives.Earlier this year, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond affirmed Blankenship's conviction.Blankenship had argued on appeal that Berger incorrectly instructed the trial jury that Blankenship's "reckless disregard" of federal mine safety standards amounted to the criminal willfulness needed for a conviction and that Berger was wrong to deny the defense the chance for a second cross-examination of former Massey official Chris Blanchard, a major government witness. Coal industry lobby groups from West Virginia, Ohio and Illinois had warned that Blankenship's conviction would pave the way for coal executives to be prosecuted for making "tough decisions" necessary to "operate a successful company."More: US Supreme Court won't hear Don Blankenship's appeal U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Appeal of Coal Exec Convicted in 29 Miner Deaths read more

German pension law passes despite Green party opposition
The law introducing defined contribution pension plans without guarantees to Germany has passed the larger house of parliament, the Bundestag.The Betriebsrentenstärkungsgesetz (BRSG) was passed on Thursday with the votes of the government coalition, comprised of the social democratic party SPD and the conservative parties CDU/CSU.Against expectations, both opposition parties – the Green party coalition Bündnis 90/Die Grünen and the left-wing Die Linke – rejected the legal draft as agreed on by the government last week. The vote by the Green delegates came as a surprise because party representatives had agreed to the law in a preliminary vote in a parliamentary committee meeting the night before. The BRSG will for the first time allow the creation of defined contribution pension schemes – also called defined ambition plans – which can be set up by collective bargaining agreements.Only companies signed up to these agreements will be able to set up the new plans.However, all companies in Germany will be required to pay money they saved through salary sacrifice arrangements (Entgeltumwandlung) back into those plans.The Greens and other critics feared this and other changes might increase the burden on smaller companies.Insurers move to offer BRSG-friendly platformDuring the long negotiations on the BRSG over the past year, insurance companies had led the opposition to the ban on guarantees for the new plans. However, it now seems some have found a way to get a slice of the new pension cake.Five small mutual insurers announced yesterday that they were to join forces and create a pension platform. The so-called "Rentenwerk" is to be set up to provide companies and unions with flexible pension solutions to be implemented under the new law.Germany's national competition regulator still has to approve the collaboration between Barmenia, Debeka, Gothaer, HUK-COBURG, and Die Stuttgarter.The BRSG itself still has to pass the smaller house of the German parliament, the Bundesrat, in its last session before the summer on 7 July.It is expected that the representatives of the German provinces in the Bundesrat will approve the draft.However, analysts have said the Green parties' approval could be crucial in getting the green light from provinces where the party is part of a regional government coalition.Stephan Oecking, partner at Mercer Germany, called on the companies and unions that will have to negotiate the new pension plans to "make full and quick use of the full range of new possibilities".Reiner Schwinger, managing director at Willis Towers Watson Germany, added: "The new framework will fill the current white spots in the German pension landscape."Fred Marchlewski, managing director at Aon Hewitt Germany, summed up: "Occupational pensions will become more attractive overall, but also more complex." read more

Summit tackles issue of plastics in ocean
A crowd of students watched as Cassandra Davis, a representative of the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, held up two identical jars, one with several moon jellyfish and the other with a plastic bag. Davis said that though humans could tell the two jars apart, on the open ocean it might not be so easy for the sea turtles that may confuse the plastic with their prey."They're going to be drifting along, often in the same currents," Davis said. "When they are out in the ocean current, they look and act like jellies. It's easy to see the confusion when you hold them side by side." The demonstration took place at the Plastic Bag Ban Summit, hosted in the Trojan Ballroom on Wednesday afternoon by the Benioff Ocean Initiative at UC Santa Barbara in conjunction with the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The summit included a panel discussion on the ways plastic waste manifests in the ocean ecosystem and its impact on humans, as well as what actions need to be taken to address the pollution.The Aquarium of the Pacific is hoping to raise awareness by using the jars to demonstrate just how easy it is for marine life to become confused and ingest plastic. Davis said that even if the sea turtles do not directly eat the plastic, the jellies on which they feed may. The plastic, and the chemicals from it, stay in the system of the jellyfish, then travel up the food chain until they reach the animals at the top.This makes humans vulnerable as well, Davis said. Most plastic remains in the stomach of fish, posing a threat to people who consume this part of the fish. Furthermore, schooling fish, like sardines, are caught and ground into feed for domesticated animals, making it possible for the plastic contaminants to enter the human body through chicken. Jennifer Brandon, a Ph.D. candidate who is researching microplastics through the SCRIPPS Institute of Oceanography, said that one of the biggest misconceptions about plastic waste pollution in the ocean is that it takes the form of a large island of trash in the middle of the ocean. The reality is that garbage patches, which tend to occur at convergence points of major currents, only consist of a few large pieces of plastic waste. The rest is what has been called "microplastic.""Most of the plastic in the ocean is very small," Brandon said. "Ninety percent are smaller than a quarter of an inch, but we started to realize that these pieces are even more dangerous. They are much harder to clean up and much easier to eat."Brandon said that an increasing number of bottom-feeders have been found with plastic in their stomachs, which can impact predators at the top of the food chain. Studies conducted by the SCRIPPS Ocean Institute have found that about 34 percent of gooseneck barnacles examined had plastic in their guts. In South America, these organisms are considered a delicacy, creating a direct path for plastic to be ingested by humans.Other studies have been conducted on copepods, one of the most abundant organisms in the world. In an experimental setting, they have been proven to eat plastic, and Brandon said that because they are one of the key building blocks for the entire oceanic food chain, the implications could be devastating.According to Brandon, plastic smaller than one-third of a millimeter across escapes most nets, making it difficult to measure how much of it is actually in the ocean. Because of the tendency for plastic to break down into infinitely smaller pieces, it is possible that this form of plastic, called "nanoplastic," is the most prevalent. Roland Geyer, an associate professor at UC Santa Barbara's Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, said that there are also studies being conducted to determine which countries contribute most to the plastic problem. "Out of the top 20 countries, 18 are South Asian," Geyer said. "This is because they have high a population density along with recent economic development, so they use a lot more plastic, especially in packaging. They also don't have the infrastructure to deal with plastic waste. It's the perfect storm." The United States also appears in the top 20, due to its large population and coastal areas. Panelists agreed that California has pioneered the way for increased environmental regulation, inspiring the laws of other states as well as across the globe, but said that issues in combatting plastic pollution still remain. For example, plastics are currently manufactured to withstand whatever they are being used for, making it very difficult to dispose of them properly. To address this problem, panelists emphasized that the solution may need to come from the industries that manufacture plastics, rather than relying on the government. read more

Maryland's highest court, in Oliveira, et al. v. Sugarman, et al., 152 A.3d 728 (2017), reviewed the lower court's ruling on whether or not the modified business judgment rule established in Boland v. Boland, 423 Md. 296 (2011), applies to a disinterested and independent board of directors' decision to deny a shareholder litigation demand. According to the Court of Appeals, the answer is no.
The common law or tradition business judgment rule provides that courts may apply a presumption of disinterestedness, independence, and reasonable decision making to all business decisions made by a corporate board of directors. The reason for this presumption is so the corporate directors are protected from liability when the majority of directors act prudently and in good faith. Maryland has codified this common law rule in the Maryland Annotated Code, Corporations and Associations Article 2-405.1. In order to obtain judicial review of a board's business decision under the business judgment rule, shareholder must file a derivative claim.
Derivative claims are claims that exclusively belong to the corporation. The shareholder is merely operating to enforce a corporate right that the corporation has failed to assert on its own behalf. In these lawsuits, the corporation is the real party in interest and the shareholder is considered a nominal plaintiff. The converse to a derivative claim is a direct claim. Direct claims are claims that are exclusive to the stockholders of a corporation. To establish a direct claim, a shareholder must allege he has suffered an injury that is separate from any harm suffered by the corporation, and the remedy sought will benefit the shareholder as an individual.
Before instituting a derivative lawsuit, procedure requires the shareholder first make a demand that the board of directors take action. This condition is required because a derivative lawsuit calls into question the managerial control of the board of directors and the demand requirement provides the directors with an opportunity to first exercise their reasonable business judgment. If a board's decision is to deny a shareholder demand, to overcome the presumption of reasonableness of the business judgment rule, the shareholder must assert facts that suggest the corporate directors did not act in accordance with the rule. The burden is on the party challenging the decision to rebut the presumption.
The Boland case established an exception to the application of the business judgment rule to a board's decision to deny a shareholder's litigation demand. Known as the modified business judgment rule, the Court of Appeals held when a board of directors consisting of a majority of interested directors utilizes a special litigation committee ("SLC") to evaluate a litigation demand, courts will not presume the SLC acted with proper judgment. The burden of proof under these scenarios is shifted to the corporation to put forth evidence that the SLC acted independently, in good faith and followed reasonable with reasonable procedures. This modified business judgment rule is considered to be an enhanced standard.
An interested director is defined as a board member that expects to derive personal financial benefit from a transaction or decision as opposed to a benefit which will run to the corporation or all stockholders generally. If a majority of the board is interested, then the board has the ability to appoint a SLC composed of independent, disinterested directors. These disinterested directors can be appointed from either inside the corporation or specially appointed from outside the corporation and vested with the authority to render a corporate decision and decide to accept or deny a shareholder's litigation demand.
In Boland, the board of directors stood to benefit from the decision being challenged by the shareholders, therefore, the court decided to impose the burden on the board of directors to prove the elected SLC was disinterested. The court's ruling stems from the fact that when an interested board appoints the SLC, there is a possibility that the SLC could be tainted and that the SLC is merely serving as a puppet for the interested board. A tainted board is not entitled to full presumption of the business judgment rule.
Keeping in mind the principles of Boland, the Maryland Court of Appeals in Oliveira affirmed that the enhanced standard of the modified business judgment rule will not be applied to all instances where a board denies a shareholder litigation demand, but only in the cases where the majority of the board consist of interested directors. In the cases where the board is disinterested and independent, the traditional business judgment rule will apply since there is an absence of any concern regarding the SLC's independence and good faith with a truly disinterested board.

Favorite Thing About SEO Leaving my local competitors wondering how we rank higher in the SERPs!
Great WBF, as usual. Very rich and chock full of great useful content! I particularly like your tip to search "keyword"site:your-domain to find places to build internal "link love". I've been thinking I've been needing to build those links but have been to lazy to manually read through all my old content. Thanks again!
Ruth – Nice job on your Whiteboard Friday! Good stuff to implement. At our eye care office, we tend to just think about our target demographic (Women, age 25-55). But we really need to target the different "personas", as you say. We may have a potential customer looking for a specific brand of sunglasses, whereas another patient is just looking to get their pink eye treated, and yet another maybe just wants to learn about what causes blurry vision.
So we need to work on targeting keywords and creating UX for each one of these personas. Thanks for making us think about this!
By the way, the still image of the whiteboard is a great idea, and really works well!
I am an optometrist in Casper, WY. I am fairly new to SEO, doing it on my own. Check this out, please... Search for "eye exam casper wy" As of this writing, I (frontier eye care) am ranking in organic AND local. My eye exam page is not my home page. How did I do this? I don't know! Perhaps there is just very little competition for this particular search? Any ideas? I would love to be able to replicate this for "optometrist" , "eye doctor" , "eyeglasses" and other keywords!
Great Whiteboard Friday! The topic of local search is super relevant to me, since I am an optometrist and owner of an optical shop. So I'm always trying to make sure we're staying on top of the SERPs.
Of course, ultimately, our biggest generator of new patients is word-of-mouth. So we do everything we can to make ourselves "remarkable" (See Seth Godin's 'Purple Cow'), and we often have ecstatic patients who rave about the practice to their friends. (Which, of course, we love!) Our frustration is getting these folks to review on Google+. Somehow, it seems many folks are reluctant to create a Google+ account (or are confused about how to do so.) Any ideas or suggestions on how to convert those happy patients/ customers into Google+ reviewers without seeming pushy or anxious?
Please keep up posts about Local Search. We can't get enough! Thanks again!
Until now, I've been blogging about eye care tips, new lines of eyewear we carry, or local events that we sponsor (RCS, right?). Something that Mackenzie Fogelson said in her recent post (about attracting customers with content) resonated with me: "Even though you may be one of your company's biggest fans, you are not your target audience. If you want to attract customers to your brand and your community, your content needs to reflect the fact that you understand your customer. That you've actually thought about and considered the challenges they face which make your product or service a necessity in their lives." …or at least interesting to them, right?!
You've inspired me to be a bit more creative and ask the questions that might pique the readers' interest and/or helps them out. I particularly like your ideas about how eyes develop (and how that determines nearsightedness or farsightedness) and the "science" of choosing eyewear.
I was also planning a blog post announcing that we now carry Oakley eyewear. But now, I'm thinking it should be a post about what makes Oakleys so special/ more expensive. Perhaps some insight into the technology of their lens coatings, or maybe a history of the company… See, you've got me thinking!
So, thanks again! Now, I'm off to the research phase!

Beginning with the walk while establishing a positive attitude toward training, the pup and young dog are taught persistence in moving around the ring. Considerations for formal conditioning are given and suggestions for types of work at the appropriate growth stages are discussed.
The physical state of the dog in consideration of weight, age and level of condition are discussed. The judges expectations during show presentation in relation to weight and physical condition are discussed with detailed video examples. Preparation for endurance work, the importance of the trot for conditioning and common training methods are demonstrated. Getting started and then building the dog up is covered as well as understanding the signs of over work.
Understanding aerobic vs anaerobic exercise and the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers is discussed in determining the type of work the dog requires to achieve condition. Methods of road work and the pros and cons of interval training are detailed to safely build your dog into hard, fit condition for the rigors fo the Sv style ring.
Understanding preparation for show day, teamwork through double handling and tips for how best to show the dog are included. The remainder of the show day are covered; the stand for exam, the gaiting phase, the off-lead run and handling tips and showing the dog to his best are emphasized.

The Foreign Policy Research Institute, or FPRI, previews the movements and events that will shape the South Caucasus in 2017. For Georgia, the relationship between the ruling party and the opposition is the most important. Georgian Dream has a constitutional majority; the opposition is fragmented, especially after the split of the national movement. According to Maia Otarashvili, a research fellow at the FPRI, the split will create two strong opposition parties, rather than one. We'll see.
Josh Kucera, the South Caucasus editor at EurasiaNet, is working on a series of pieces about Eurasia and the borders between the two continents. This piece for Slate magazine is about Georgia and its confusing status between Europe and Asia. Kucera travels by ferry across the Black Sea from Bulgaria to Batumi, then around Georgia by marshrutka. He meditates on Georgia's history and its relationships with both Europe and Asia, and meets a lot of memorable people along the way. This is a long read that is definitely worth your time and attention.
In a separate piece for EurasiaNet, Josh Kucera covers the release of Giorgi Tsertsvadze, who is out of prison but still could be extradited to Russia. Kucera is optimistic he won't be sent to Russia, however, given his importance to Georgia's state interests.
Joseph Jorjoliani writes for the Huffington Post about Georgia's foreign policy in the current atmosphere of uncertainty.

The country lost its Freedom House status as an electoral democracy in 2009, but got it back in 2013, following the 2012 parliamentary elections. In this year's report, Georgia gets a 3 out of 7 on both political rights and civil liberties, with one being the highest and seven the lowest.

Foreign Policy covers the renewed Russian assault on Ukrainian government forces near the town of Avdiyivka. This week, roughly a dozen Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and civilians have been evacuated from the area. It's the first major international test of the Donald Trump administration. The Russian assault started just a day after Trump and Putin spoke over the phone for the first time, talking about forming an alliance to defeat Daesh. A Pentagon official told Foreign Policy that they expected Russia to get more aggressive in order to see what Trump will let them get away with.
"The Georgian Orthodox Church is wildly corrupt." Really? Most Georgian Orthodox Christians and many Orthodox Christians around the world would disagree with you — including myself. I spend a lot of time in Georgia. Mark, it seems that you delight in running negative stories about His Holiness and the Georgian Orthodox Church, the rock of faith for the Georgian people. I wonder why? An institution may be flawed, but the Church established by Christ is without blemish. I don't want to deal in rumors. Prayer is what's needed for Metropolitan Serapime and this situation — which sounds as if it's certainly caused dissent. Disappointed again in your podcast.

Fried chicken aficionados flocked to the original Frenchy's location at Scott and Wheeler on Monday, lining up 15 cars deep for a last taste of the Third Ward institution's creole staples before the flagship restaurant is razed to make way for an expansion of neighboring Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.
Frenchy's President Percy "King" Creuzot III plans to fill the last orders at the original 3919 Scott location on New Year's Day and open a temporary location two blocks south at Blodgett and Scott on Friday. A permanent replacement for the flagship will break ground soon two blocks to the north, at Scott and Alabama.
Those drawn in by word of the 1969 flagship's impending last suppers included first-time visitor John Hoffman, a Georgia native who loves soul food but had never been to Frenchy's. He dropped $30 on white- and dark-meat chicken, catfish, a sausage po' boy, greens, red beans and rice, chicken-and-shrimp gumbo and fries before driving back to Jersey Village.
Also present was Third Ward native Carl Jenkins, who went to Frenchy's countless times after football games at his alma maters, Yates High School and Texas Southern University, and stopped by every time he visited home during the 15 years he worked in Los Angeles.
Frenchy's has numerous restaurants across the region, but patrons — kids in sweatpants, men in suits, nurses in scrubs and many others — said the original is special.
Longtime Montrose resident Debbi Griffith echoed that sentiment. She spent 57 minutes in the drive-through Monday but was unphased, grinning as she took video and pictures with her phone to document the experience.
Griffith was so intent on memorializing her visit on Instagram that she forgot to pay and had to be chased down by a Frenchy's employee before she turned onto Scott.
"King" Creuzot, the son of the chain's founder, said such worries are misplaced.
"We know how to keep it the same, and it will be the same," he said.
His son, Percy "PC" Creuzot IV, was more to the point.
Michael Lyle, a Hampton University student in Houston during winter break, said he trusts the food will be just as good during his next trip home.
"King" Creuzot has said some fans told him he was crazy to close his flagship eatery, but he said it was an easy decision to facilitate the church's good work.
Frenchy's sold its property to Wheeler last summer to make way for a multimillion-dollar plan to enlarge the church sanctuary to seat 3,500 worshippers and add areas for educational and recreational ministries.

Tanzania: Sauti za Busara fest downscaling in 2021
By Lucy Ilado
Published under the Creative Commons Licence
Sauti za Busara (SzB) is one of the few African music festivals that held an in-person event in 2020. This was just before COVID-19 restrictions on international travel and public gatherings were introduced around the world in March and April.
Sauti za Busara festival director Yusuf Mahmoud.
The organisers have now announced that the 2021 edition will go ahead but with a modified programme, new dates and a reduced number of performances. The organisers announced in June that the 18th edition would be held between 11 and 14 February 2021 in Stone Town, Zanzibar. However, due to the prevailing uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated challenges in raising sponsorships, the festival will now take place on 12 and 13 February, while a number 'Busara Xtra' community-organised events will be held across Zanzibar from 7 to 14 February.
Nonetheless, the organisers have promised an exciting programme with a significant focus on artists and audiences from the East African region. The full line-up will be announced in October and will boast artists from Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Reunion, Ghana, Morocco and Algeria.
Busara Promotions CEO and festival director Yusuf Mahmoud told Music In Africa that the idea to reduce the number of days for the sake of having an economically viable event was first discussed by the Busara Promotions board and management during a special meeting held in June. In addition, the festival will be forced to lay off a number of its crew and workers. Each year, the festival employs more than 800 people, prioritising local personnel for crucial roles in artist management, administration, media, security, cleaning, technical, ticketing and merchandise.
"Most of our crew are local Tanzanians," Mahmoud says. "Also many more are indirectly employed because of the event happening, such as food and drinks vendors, hotel and restaurant staff, motorbike and taxi drivers, tour operators, equipment providers, community police and so on. With a smaller event in 2021, sadly the jobs created will be fewer, though still significant."
The decision, Mahmoud says, will inevitably have ripple effects on the Zanzibari economy. An analysis of the festival's 17 years of existence found an economic impact of $90m.
SzB is arguably one of the best-known music festivals on the African continent. It was listed by the BBC as one Africa's seven best music festivals to see. The annual fest attracts thousands of international tourists annually, who support the event's existence via the local tourism and hospitality sector.
"Although flights and hotels are now beginning to reopen, responses from local business owners we spoke with, who previously supported the festival, say that due to massive losses, they will be unable to contribute this time," Mahmoud said. "We will have to rely on partnerships with embassies and donors. We pray that they will support by understanding the role Sauti za Busara 2021 can play in Zanzibar's social, cultural and economic recovery."
Next year's edition will also see the festival launch the Our Environment, Our Life campaign to increase awareness of the dangers of ocean pollution, single-use plastic, deforestation, overfishing and other regional concerns.
"Freshwater sources rapidly diminish, while new luxury resorts offer baths and infinity pools for their guests. Education and awareness-raising campaigns will highlight some of these hazards. Although our festival alone cannot make great changes to society, wherever possible, we try to set an example and promote dialogue, change attitudes and encourage action for a fairer and more sustainable world."
Above all, Mahmoud is passionate about lobbying the government to support local artists. He echoes the frustration of many stakeholders in the African music industry on the challenge of securing government financing, especially now that income has been significantly reduced.
"After the general elections in October, Zanzibar will have new leadership. We can achieve more when our voices are unified, at local, national and regional levels. However, for government authorities to support music and culture, artists and cultural organisations will need to better demonstrate and prove with unquestionable data how we impact society."
If the COVID-19 pandemic brought the bustling music industry to a standstill, it certainly hasn't stifled the public's thirst for live music. Mahmoud says news of the festival going ahead, despite a reduced number of days, has been met with enthusiasm. Uncertain as these times may be, people are looking forward to "enjoying live music under East African skies," he said.
The organisers are now working with the local authorities on the steps that need to be taken to ensure the safety of artists, attendees and the community at large.
Early bird supersaver tickets are available from 1 September 2020 here with a 50% discount for African nationals and East Africa residents. Become a sponsor or partner here.

Q: How can I use Numerical-Methods to solve that equation ... Use the Newton-Raphson iteration method (NR) to find one positive root ( Xr > 0 ) of the equation $ X^3 +X -1 =0 $ ??

A: Approach outline:
A plot (courtesy of Wolfram-Alpha) of the function shows:

Choose a starting point, say:
$$x_0 = 1$$
Write the Newton Iteration formula as:
$$x_{n+1} = x_n - \dfrac{f(x)}{f'(x)} = x_n - \dfrac{x_n^3 + x_n -1}{3 x_n^2 + 1}$$
Write out the iterates $x_0, x_1, x_2, \ldots$ and find:
$$x_5 = 0.682328$$

A: Yes. Set $f(x)=x^3+x-1$ and iterate with the Newton Raphson formula:
$$ x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}. $$ You need to guess a value for $x_0$ to start the iteration. Also, $f'(x_n)$ is the derivative of your function $f$ evaluated at $x_n$. If your iterations don't converge, try a different starting value $x_0$.
Hope this helps some.
Cheers,
Paul Safier

U.S.::
BY Alison Broinowski
Who Are The Terrorists, Iran or The US?
In April 2014 John Howard surprised an audience in Sydney by saying that war with Iran would be next. He didn't know then about Syria but his alarming prediction about Iran looks like coming true.
On 8 April, President Trump designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization, the first such US decision about part of another government. Mike Pompeo explained it was because Iran uses terrorism as 'a tool of statecraft'. In the US definition, a terrorist organization engages in 'activities that involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life…intimidate or coerce a civilian population…influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion…and mass destruction' ̶ a description that better fits American than Iranian behavior. If terrorism is coercive violence against a civilian population, then what the US and its allies have been doing in the Middle East at least since 2001 amounts to state terrorism. Iran at once responded by naming CENTCOM a supporter of terrorism.
Iran has no modern history of aggression, while US invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, and its support of the Saudi assault on Yemen, would expose the US to the indictment before the International Criminal Court, not that the US would recognize it. The State Department claims that the Revolutionary Guard was responsible for more than 600 US deaths in Iraq, for supporting proxy militia elsewhere in the region, and for using the war in Syria to establish a strategic military base from which to threaten Israel. The US itself has caused many more deaths, built military bases in Syria, and supports proxy militia. It has done everything it accuses Iran of, except threaten Israel.
Israel, as always, is at the core of contention between the US and Iran. Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly got Trump to designate the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization just before his re-election. Netanyahu – and no doubt Trump's son in law, who is his special advisor on Israel – was behind the US exit from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran, moving its embassy to Jerusalem, and endorsing Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights and its settlements on the West Bank (Elijah J. Magnier, 'Iran allies in the Middle East: the trigger finger is ready in case of US-Israeli war', American Herald Tribune, 12 April 2019).
Iran has grievances of long standing against the US, including for the overthrow of Mossadeq in 1954 and the shooting down of an Iranian civilian aircraft by USS Vincennes in 1988. For its part, the US has always wanted revenge against Iran for the humiliating capture and imprisonment of its diplomats in Tehran in 1979, and for numerous activities of Hezbollah, including against Israel. In 1982, an Israeli war plot that influenced American intentions was revealed in a Hebrew journal (Directions, February). The Yinon plan, named after its author, an Israeli Foreign Ministry official, was a long-term project to ensure that no state in the Middle East could threaten Israel, by successively overthrowing Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. In the 1990s American neo-conservatives expanded the Yinon plan to take advantage of the weakness of Russia and destabilize seven states in the Middle East in five years: Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria (Wesley Clark, Democracy Now, 3 October 2007. Michel Chossudovsky, 'Imperial Conquest: America's "Long War" against Humanity,' Global Research, 29 January 2014). In 1997, Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote that America's intention to prevent the rise of any challenger nation, especially Russia and China, could extend to 'perhaps Iran' (The Grand Chessboard, 1997). How the neocons put that intention into action is described by James Mann in Rise of the Vulcans (2004).
In 2001 the long-anticipated invasion of Iraq was an agenda item for the very first cabinet meeting held by George W Bush (Ron Suskind, biography of Paul O'Neill, cit. James O'Neill, 'Lessons from the Iraq War: A Reappraisal', Pearls & Irritations, 7 January 2017). Afghanistan was attacked in October 2001 and Iraq in March 2003. The destabilization program continued in Libya with support from Hillary Clinton, who as Obama's Secretary of State was aggressively hostile to Iran. So was President Trump, whose seven countries targeted for the anti-Muslim visa ban (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen) merely replaced Lebanon with Yemen in the neo-cons' list. Sudan and Somalia have no government worth the name, and Syria is a mess. Iran is the last to be 'destabilised'.
If the Iranians Really Wanted Peace, They'd Move Their Country!
Trump Imagines a Quick US War with No Plan B, but Overlooks Iran's Possible Plan B
The Coming Catastrophe
Pentagon officials are reportedly hesitant about war with Iran, whose outcome could be much worse than the Iraq imbroglio. But on 8 May 2018 Trump announced the US withdrawal from the JCPOA and imposed sanctions on countries trading with Iran, ostensibly to force Iran to cease developing ballistic missiles and supporting militants in the region. Iran responded by burning the stars and stripes inside the Majlis and launching rockets from Syria at Israeli military targets. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei advised Iranians 'Don't trust America'. Together, Pompeo and John Bolton (who 'never saw a war he didn't like') now appear to be ratcheting up anti-Iran propaganda and getting Americans ready for another war. But to access the funds, it can't be a new war, which might fall foul of the War Powers Act (1973). It has to be the same 'war on terror' which Congress approved in 2001. Hence the designation of the Republican Guard as a terrorist organization.
Australian Ministers must know what the US is planning. What have they told Washinton Australia will do? Whatever the provocation, the ANZUS alliance does not oblige us to attack Iran, a country which does not threaten Australia and is not in the 'Pacific area'. If we don't want more illegal wars, more refugees, and more terrorism, we should be making that clear. But the prospects for independent Australian policy decisions are not good. Morrison nearly fell for the proposal by one foreign affairs expert, Dave Sharma, about moving Australia's embassy to Jerusalem. He is standing again, and would not be likely to oppose war with Iran. Shorten has lost another expert, Melissa Parke, who told the truth about the apartheid state that Israel has become. She would oppose a war, and her advice will be missed.

Marking the 20th anniversary of the film adaption of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Aspen is toasting the late and legendary writer Hunter S. Thompson.
His iconic tale of journalist Raoul Duke and attorney Dr. Gonzo's darkly comic drug-assisted journey to the ugly heart of Nixon-era America was first published in 1971. The contemporary classic film adaptation by director Terry Gilliam, with Johnny Depp as Duke and Benicio Del Toro as his attorney — alongside a cavalcade of inspired cameo appearances, including Thompson himself — arrived in theaters in May 1998.
Aspen Film is hosting an anniversary screening at the Wheeler Opera House on Friday night, followed by a Q-and-A with Thompson's wife, Anita.
"This story is a journey that is about the 'we,'" she said in a New Year's Day interview at Owl Farm in Woody Creek. "About not trying to do everything on their own. That's such an important message right now."
On a bookshelf behind her in the living room sat a commemorative clapper board from the film shoot, signed to Hunter Thompson from Depp (who writes "Why have you cursed me?"), Del Toro ("…and we have Magnums!") and Gilliam ("We are all going down together — no survivors!"). A photo of the marquee at the film's premiere at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, inscribed by the author, is on a nearby shelf. Both are on view in a preserved Owl Farm compound that Anita Thompson now operates as a private museum, and where she is working to establish a residency program for writers and musicians.
Proceeds from the anniversary screening will benefit Aspen Film and The Gonzo Foundation, also run by Anita Thompson, which funds scholarships for military veterans to attend Columbia University (the "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" author attended Columbia after his service in the U.S. Air Force).
Depp, in preparation for his role as the fictionalized Hunter, lived in the basement at Owl Farm in the spring of 1997. He stayed across the hall from what Thompson called "the war room," the study where he'd meticulously polished "Vegas" — based on an actual trip to Sin City with attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta — after writing an initial draft in a Los Angeles hotel. The tales of Depp's time embedded at Owl Farm have become the stuff of local lore in the two decades since. (Former Pitkin County Sheriff and "Kitchen Readings" co-author Bob Braudis will join Anita Thompson on stage at the Wheeler on Friday to share some of his memories).
The actor studied Thompson's speech and mannerisms and received personal lessons in Thompson's driving style — which was notoriously skilled but decidedly non-traditional — by whipping around Aspen in Thompson's "Red Shark" convertible. Preparing his cinematic doppelganger, Thompson, a diligent self-archivist, also dug up hotel receipts and menus and unpublished notes from the actual Vegas trip for Depp to study. He loaned Depp the Red Shark for the film along with the clothes he wore in Vegas — his signature patchwork jacket and safari hat, Hawaiian shirts and a batch of TarGard cigarette holders. And Thompson, in the kitchen at Owl Farm, himself shaved Depp's head down to a bald pate to match his own from the "Fear and Loathing" era to complete the actor's transformation.
Depp first made contact two years earlier during a 1995 visit to Aspen with then-girlfriend Kate Moss. The pair were drinking at the Woody Creek Tavern, the story goes, and asked — through a mutual Woody Creek friend — if they could meet Depp's favorite living writer. Thompson made his way to the Tavern and greeted Depp by ceremoniously bopping him on the head with a cattle prod. The group then headed back to Owl Farm, where Depp detonated a Thompson-constructed bomb in the yard by firing a pistol at it. Thus, the pair's enduring friendship and creative partnership was sealed.
Months later, the pair of Kentucky natives attended a Louisville event honoring Thompson. The author was ceremoniously bequeathed a key to the city. Both he and Depp were made official Kentucky colonels. (Thompson thereafter referred to the actor as "Colonel Depp.")
"No one has enough money to pay for the experience I've had on this movie," Depp said in 1998 production notes for the film. "To be able to spend the amount of time I did with Hunter, and then to work with Terry, Benicio and the incredible company of actors and crew."
Though not a box office hit, in the two decades since its premiere the film has attained cult classic status and has received a prestigious Criterion Collection release. Thompson's literary legacy, meanwhile, has grown in stature in the 14 years since his death by suicide. Anita Thompson noted that recent years have brought a steady stream of dissertations, books and attention from academia. While his role as a political activist — both here in Pitkin County from the 1970 "Freak Power" campaign onward and nationally against authoritarianism from the Nixon years through the Bush eras — has been increasingly recognized.
The film has provided a pop culture entry point to that work for young people.
"After a writer dies, there's no guarantee that their work will continue to live," Anita Thompson said. "Anything to get a new generation or a new person introduced to Hunter's work will make the world a better place. Once they read a page of Hunter's work, they gain confidence — I've seen that over and over and over again. … Having this movie celebrated is an indication of that and it will introduce someone to Hunter's work that's never been introduced before."
The wild drug-fueled ride of the film version and its generous doses of booze and blow and acid (and amyls and ether and "uppers, downers, screamers, laughers," etc.) may overshadow some of the incisive Nixon-era political messages from the book.
"The movie is more about the lifestyle, but if you pay attention you'll see that it's about the activism and staying on your own path," Anita Thompson said.
The often-quoted "wave speech" from the book, for example, gets reverent treatment in Gilliam's film. This poignant elegy for '60s idealism is narrated in voiceover by Depp's Duke as he works on his typewriter in a dim-lit hotel room with The Youngbloods' "Let's Get Together" playing in the background, with flashes of Flower Power-era San Francisco on-screen.
How to handle the speech was among the last straws for Thompson before the dismissal of director Alex Cox from the film. Cox had been attached to "Fear and Loathing" before Gilliam signed on. After some rough-and-tumble creative battles with studios and producers — and a long, tortured development process that extended back to the 1970s with a revolving door of directors and actors — Cox and Thompson split over the treatment of the wave speech.
"Alex Cox had a drug-addled view of the wave speech, which was not the point at all," Anita Thompson recalled. "Hunter always called it 'the crown jewel.' Cox didn't get it. But Terry Gilliam did and Johnny did. It comes through."
Gilliam, the visionary Monty Python alum whose pre-"Vegas" work included "Brazil" and "12 Monkeys," brought the book's hallucinatory visions to the big screen — miraculously capturing "Vegas" iconography from the bats overhead in the desert to the lizard people in a Vegas casino. The original New York Times review described the visual aesthetic as "splendiferous funhouse terror" and called the film "the closest sensory approximation of an acid trip ever achieved by a mainstream movie."
"My guess is that today's audience wants this film desperately," Gilliam said upon the movie's release. "I think they need it. That's why I've been referring to 'Fear and Loathing' as a cinematic enema for the '90s — just clean out the system."
Thompson famously balked at attending the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, writing to Depp to try to stop Gilliam and Universal from marketing it as a drug movie ("Airports are hard enough for me now," Thompson wrote at the time).
Depp's portrayal of Raoul Duke is an exaggerated caricature of Thompson, like artist Ralph Steadman's illustrations for the book. Some of the added flourishes in the film — like lashing out at wait staff — bothered the author, Anita Thompson recalled.
"Hunter loved Johnny, but he was insulted by the way that Johnny depicted him," she said, recalling with a chuckle: "Hunter said, 'If somebody acted that way in my presence I'd hit them over the head with a chair.'"
The author's misgivings about the portrayal didn't dull their friendship, however. It continued through Thompson's death, when Depp funded Thompson's funeral and fulfilled his wish to have his ashes fired out of a massive canon behind Owl Farm, and since then as Depp has purchased and preserved Thompson's papers and personal archive (along with reprising his role as a fictionalized Thompson in the 2011 film version of Thompson's novel "The Rum Diary").
The author also appreciated the power of the film medium in popular culture, and the influence of having a generational talent like Depp bringing the fictionalized Thompson to life on the big screen.
"He recognized Johnny's influence on an entire generation and on people who wouldn't have otherwise read Hunter's work," Anita Thompson recalled.
This weekend she'll be celebrating that influence, this one-of-a-kind film and the rare opportunity for the gonzo faithful to gather in Aspen to see it on a big screen.
"It's great that they're putting it on the silver screen again," Anita said, "so that we can all watch it together as a community at the Wheeler."
