Ед I Рудий (; 1058/1060 — 23 березня 1103) — герцог Бургундії у 1079—1103 роках.

Біографія

Молоді роки
Походив з династії Капетингів. Син Генріха Донцеля та Сибілли (доньки Баранґе Рамона І, графа Барселони). При народженні отримав ім'я Ед. Його батько помер між 1072 та 1074 роками, а мати у 1074 році. Після цього сприяв братові Гуго здобути право на бургундську спадщину. У 1077 році його брат Гуго I призначив Еда намісником герцогства під час свого походу до Піренеїв. У 1078 році Ед оженився на доньці пфальцграфа Бургундії.

Герцог
У 1079 році після зречення старшого брата Гуго I отримав владу над герцогством Буругундія. Після цього додав до свого імені Боррель на честь діда по матері. Відзначився грабіжницькими наїздами на сусідніх феодалів та подорожуючих герцогством, зокрема Ансельма Кентерберійського. У 1080 році виступив на допомогу Філіппу I, королю Франції, проти бунтівного феодала Гуго I де Пюїзе.

У 1087 році разом з братами Генріхом і Робертом виступив на допомогу Альфонсо VI, королю Кастилії і Леону, та Санчо I, королю Арагону, які протистояли Альморавідам. Втім, того ж року в битві при Туделі війська християн зазнали поразки. В подальшому з успіхом бився проти мусульман, зокрема 1090 року сприяв обороні Толедо від військ Алі ібн Юсуфа.

У 1098 році надав значні кошти задля зведення першого цистерціанського абатства в Бургундії — Сіто.

В 1100 році Ед I разом з Етьєном де Блуа і Гуго I де Вермандуа приєднався до учасників Першого Хрестового походу, перед тим призначивши старшого сина намісником герцогства. Але зазнав поразки у битві при Гераклеї і потрапив в полон до сельджуків. Герцог Бургундії помер в 1102 році в Тарсі в Кілікії. Поховано в абатстві Сіто, капелі Св. Георга.

Родина
Дружина — Сибілла (1065—1101), донька Вільгельма, графа Бургундії.

Діти:
 Гуго (1084—1143), герцог Бургундії у 1102—1143 роках;
 Генріх (1087—1125), чернець і абат Сіто;

This is Part 2 of our show recorded Tuesday, February 6, 2018.
We had so much fun, and this trip isn't over yet… on to the parade tomorrow!
THE EAGLES WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!
The Philadelphia Eagles have won Super Bowl LII and are your NFL Champions!!
The Eagles went into Minnesota the underdog for the third playoff game in a row, this time going against the New England Patriots. This time backup quarterback was going against the superior Tom Brady. Eagles head coach was going against the superior Bill Belichick. The Eagles were going against the superior Patriots.
They beat the odds, and completed an unreal season, winning their first Super Bowl.
We discuss the emotions of the win, Steve talks about his experiences in Minneapolis during his trip to the big game, and we talk about what things are like and how things will change now that the Eagles are now NFL world champions.
What a great time to be an Eagles fan.
This is the week. This is what we have waited for. This is what the team worked for. This is the outcome of the #1 seed in the NFC. This is what they overcame to beat the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings.
The Eagles and Patriots are in Minneapolis now. The opening ceremony, of sorts, kicked off yesterday. Then the excitement started. Our co-host Steve is going to the game, leaving Thursday. Todd and Chuck are staying at home, or watching with friends. Eagles fans are flying into Minneapolis or Philadelphia from all over the world to just be near when it happens.
We are just days away now.
THE EAGLES ARE IN THE SUPER BOWL!!!
The Philadelphia Eagles are in the Super Bowl!
The Eagles hosted the NFC Championship at the Linc in Philly and destroyed the Minnesota Vikings 38-7.
The Eagles are in the Super Bowl!!
After the Vikings drove down the field and scored a touchdown, the Eagles didn't back down. The Offense clicked. The Defense clicked. The Vikings were completely shut down the remaining 55 minutes of the game, and the Eagles went on to score 38 unanswered points in what became a blowout win.
The fans were so loud in the stadium. In the fourth quarter of the game, it became a party atmosphere as the realization came that the shoe would not drop, and the Eagles luck would run out. We were going to win the NFC Championship, we were going to beat the Minnesota Vikings, and our Eagles, who fought so hard, maintained their composure and class and "next man up" attitude for the entire season, were going to the big game on an international stage.
The NFC Divisional Playoffs at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia had all the markers that the underdog Eagles would be beaten by the Atlanta Falcons at home. The Vegas oddsmakers thought so, the sports analysts thought so.
The trouble for all of them, and the Falcons, was the Eagles organization and fans didn't think so.
The Eagles go on to beat the Falcons 15-10 in what was a Defensive struggle throughout. The fans in the stadium were louder than I've ever heard them, they stepped up, and believed. Coach Doug Pederson worked up a game plan that worked. Nick Foles did what Nick Foles does, and didn't try to be Carson Wentz. The Offensive Line was in control, protected Foles, and moved the Defense for the runners. The Eagles Defense, though, stepped up huge. The scheme met what the Falcons threw at them. They kept the defending NFC Champions to only ten points in a playoff game. Think about that.
Now the Eagles are playing, at home, in the NFC Championship.
This Sunday evening, the Eagles invite the Minnesota Vikings into The Linc. The Eagles will be underdogs again.


Chad Knight's heroic performance unseated four-time defending state champions Amity Regional 5-1 Saturday. The sophomore's two-run homer was the go-ahead hit for Staples. He also pitched a complete game to propel the Wildcats to their first state title since 2001. He allowed five hits. And Ruden Report's Dave Ruden says that he retired the final 11 of 14 batters he faced.
This nomination was submitted by Sharon Sandstrom and former UChoose Student-Athlete of the Week Mikey Buscetto via our nomination form at cptv.org/uchoose. The junior carried Waterford to a state Baseball championship Friday night shutting out Lewis Mills Regional (Burlington) 4-0, while striking out 15 and walking one. He allowed two hits. And he hit an RBI double in the game. Burrows hit a solo homer in a semifinals victory Wednesday over St. Joseph. The 6'2", 180-pound righty is committed to the University of Connecticut.
The senior pitched Holy Cross to their third consecutive state title Friday night in a 4-0 shutout of St. Paul Catholic (Bristol). She struck out 13 and allowed just three hits. Lawton has been a major part of this run for Holy Cross. In the three championship games, Lawton pitched all three and has allowed no runs and just six hits, while striking out 38!
The senior, perhaps the most decorated Connecticut Boys Lacrosse player ever, finished his career with seven goals to push Darien to its fourth-straight state title (54th consecutive win overall). The Blue Wave beat Cheshire 16-3. Lindley finished the season with 133 points—a Darien single-season record. He graduates to the Loyola University (Maryland) Men's Lacrosse team with an 89-3 record as a High School Lacrosse player.
On Saturday, the Hornets captured their first-ever Girls Lacrosse championship by knocking off Pomperaug Regional (Southbury) 15-8. The junior scored an unbelievable 15 goals the past two games: nine goals versus top-seeded East Lyme in the semis and six goals vs. No. 2 Pomperaug in the finals.
On Wednesday at the Connecticut Tennis Center in New Haven, Lexi DeNucci, a senior at Glastonbury High School, won her second consecutive Girls Singles Tennis CIAC Open Championship. She beat Stonington's Gabby Dellacono 6-1, 6-3.


In 1914, the British army had 14,000 men in cycle regiments and battalions, increasing to 20,000 by the end of the war. When the Americans entered the war in 1917, they shipped 26,407 bicycles with them to France. They did not have any established bicycle corps, the bikes – and also harley-Davidson m,motorcycles – being available as required.


A Xeuss 2.0 UHR SAXS/WAXS equipment was installed in spring 2016 in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Sheffield.
Testimony of Dr Oleksandr Mykhaylyk, Senior Scientist, Head of Soft Matter AnalyticaL Laboratory (SMALL) where the instrument is installed.
"We are currently at the stage of learning and testing the instrument and at the moment we have seven users representing different laboratories from Chemistry, Physics and Materials Engineering.
Having more than 15 years experience in SAXS with both synchrotron and laboratory experiments we always wanted to have a facility of this kind which would enable us to perform most of our measurements here in Sheffield with an access 24/7/365. A combination of MetalJet X-ray source, new 3D X-ray mirrors, scatterless slits and Pilatus 1M detector put us in a position where we can easily run SAXS measurements with resolution 0.001 Å-1 in the SMALL lab.
Moreover, a design of the instrument provides us with the opportunity to run most of X-ray scattering experiments including SAXS/WAXS/GiSAXS/GiWAXS/X-ray reflectometry.
"Sheffield is a centre of excellence for research in the fields of polymer science, soft matter and colloids and there is a number of groups at the Faculties of Science, Engineering and Medicine working across the field. Research interests include: copolymer self-assembly, hybrid latexes, colloidal nanocomposite particles, copolymer thin films, paint and ink-jet pigments, polymer crystallization, polymer liquid crystals, organic solar films, flow-induced phenomena (e.g. orientation, crystallisation, phase transitions), lubricants, lipids and biopolymers. In all this cases small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is an essential characterisation technique.
More information on the equipment can be found in the Xeuss 2.0 webpage. For more information on MetalJet sources, please click here.

"The Red Bean Grows in the South"
Faurschou Foundation, New York
Christian Viveros-Fauné | Kulchur Vulture
Viveros-Fauné is Artland's inaugural Chief Critic and the contributor of this regular column. Based in New York City, he writes primarily about exhibitions and the cultural landscape there. His articles also feature Artland's revolutionary 3D exhibition tours that enable the viewer to pay compelling virtual visits to actual exhibition spaces in support of the texts.
"It grew in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps and it was the only tree that grew out of cement." That sentence, lifted from the pages of Betty Smith's 1943 coming of age classic A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, shades and enlightens the Faurschou Foundation's recent update of a former shoe factory located in deepest Greenpoint. Once a hardscrabble location where only the hardiest artists ventured, Brooklyn's decidedly gentrified precinct now plays host to New York's newest private museum.
Like J. Tomilson Hill's Hill Art Foundation and Glenn Fuhrman's FLAG Art Foundation, both in Chelsea, and Peter Brant's Brant Foundation in the East Village, Faurschou New York is the brainchild of a deep-pocketed businessman: the Danish dealer-turned-philanthropist Jens Faurschou. Before coming to Brooklyn, he opened two similar spaces in Beijing and Copenhagen and a "biannual pop-up space" in Venice. Seventy-six years after the publication of Smith's novel and just seven years after Lena Dunham's Girls branded North Brooklyn the world's hipster stomping grounds, the Borough of Trees is finally having its Frick Collection closeup.

Housed inside a sleekly renovated 12,000 square foot warehouse, Faurschou's new museum has kicked off activities in high disruptor style. Its inaugural exhibition features the work of 17 mostly blue chip artists, several large-scale installations and two major video works. Titled "The Red Bean Grows In the South" after a Chinese Tang Dynasty poem—like Smith's novel it channels both love lost and endurance—the show displays several storerooms of pricey objects (as befits a tony private collection) while addressing a number of critical global issues (in ways that recall the wokest public institutions). Thank Faurschou's covetousness for the paradox: he clearly believes in an enlightened definition of trophy art that includes works that pulse with themes of social justice.

"The exhibition is chock full of what sociologist Max Weber would term elective affinities: accidental kinships that crackle across time and space with both installations and discrete objects"
Organized around a loose conceit the gallery press release says invokes "conceptual themes such as violence, war, politics, idealism, and escapism, as well as hope, dreams, desire, lust, and longing," Faurschou's first NYC outing also reflects a core concern of the foundation—its relationship with China, and its longstanding desire to engage Western audiences with works and themes from Asia. No surprise, then, that "Red Bean" opens with Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang's Argo-like boat sculpture A Boat With Dreams (2008). Lit up and suspended like a paper lantern, it shares space with Danish-Vietnamese conceptualist Danh Vo's remix of an American anthropologist's Vietnam War era photographs, and New York-based Alison Saar's carved wood and nail-studded version of Michelangelo's idealized captive in Dying Slave (1989).
The Ozymandias Parade (1985), Ed Kienholz and Nancy Reddin Kienholz. Installation view of the exhibition "The Red Bean Grows in the South", Faurschou New York, 2019. Photo by Tom Powel Imaging, © Faurschou Foundation.
The exhibition is chock full of what sociologist Max Weber would term elective affinities: accidental kinships that crackle across time and space with both installations and discrete objects. A central room gives pride of place to The Ozymandias Parade (1985), a massive tableaux by Edward and Nancy Reddin Keinholz that features 687 blinking lights, carousel horses, a mirrored triangular platform and a pair of upside down figures in military garb. It shares space with four works by painter Yu Hong from her suite Witness to Growth. The Chinese artist's multi-panel paintings combine news photographs—an image of the charred aftermath of Tiananmen Square, another of Donald Trump being admonished by leaders of the G7—with realistic canvases depicting scenes from her own life.
Works by Georg Baselitz and Paul McCarthy. Installation view of the exhibition "The Red Bean Grows in the South", Faurschou New York, 2019. Photo by Tom Powel Imaging, © Faurschou Foundation.
An adjoining room includes a 1981-82 Robert Rauschenberg assemblage that juxtaposes images of bombed out ruins and the shark smiles of bent timber saws with Yoko Ono's war-torn 2003 video-collage accompaniment to Happy Xmas (War Is Over), the 1971 anti-war anthem she and John Lennon slyly dressed up as easy listening treacle. Another gallery combines a 1965 Georg Baselitz painting, Mit Roter Fahne (With a Red Flag), depicting a tattered soldier returning home from the front with CSSC Frederic Remington Charles Bronson (2014-16), a topsy-turvy Paul McCarthy sculpture that does double duty as an over-the-top parody and middle finger to America's Far West mythos.
Works by (left to right) Cecily Brown, Louise Bourgeois, Tracy Emin and Ai Weiwei. Installation view of the exhibition "The Red Bean Grows in the South", Faurschou New York, 2019. Photo by Tom Powel Imaging, © Faurschou Foundation.
Elsewhere, galleries feature first-rate artworks by Anselm Kiefer, Christian Lemmerz, Louise Bourgeois, Cecily Brown, Omer Fast, Tracy Emin and Ai Weiwei. If all that symbolic firepower wasn't enough, there's a bonus prize. "Red Bean" includes the first ever New York museum showing of Richard Mosse's Incoming (2014-2017), an immersive three-channel video that captures the world's global migration crisis with a camera normally used for battlefield surveillance. Avoid the lines for Incoming at SFMOMA and Washington D.C.'s National Gallery, while taking in Brooklyn's newest art destination.
The wrap-up? A red bean tree grows in Greenpoint. If Faurschou New York's inaugural exhibition is any indication, more strange and wonderful fruit will follow.

Pastor Greg Laurie Welcomes Kanye West to 'The Family of God'
Prominent pastor Greg Laurie has penned an open letter to rapper Kanye West, who has recently released a gospel album titled "Jesus is King." The pastor shared his letter via FaithWire and welcomed the famous musician into the family of God. He also offered advice on how Kanye can continue his life of devotion.
Laurie, who serves as the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California, started his letter by commending Kanye for using his "considerable platform" and influence to spread the word about his newfound faith.
The pastor shared that he is reaching out to the musician after listening to his new album, which dropped just over a week ago. Laurie also referenced a recent interview where Kanye spoke about his album and his faith. The pastor admitted that he had never met the famous musician, but he decided to take it upon himself to offer some advice.
According to Laurie, Kanye must read the Bible every day. Upon listening to the songs in "Jesus is King," the pastor admitted that Kanye probably already heeds this advice. "Reading the Bible is like waking up to a personal text from God in the morning. The Bible is God's very word to us. It's alive and powerful and will help you to grow in your new spiritual life," he said.
Next, the pastor told Kanye that he needs to pray. "The objective of prayer is not to move God my way, but to move me His way! So, when you have burdens, or concerns, or worries or needs, commit them to the Lord in prayer — and trust that He will listen to you," he said.
Kanye admitted in the past that he found his way to the Lord after suffering a lot of hardships. He publicly suffered a meltdown just a few years ago, after his wife, Kim Kardashian West, was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
The next piece of advice is perhaps an invitation to get in touch. Laurie asked Kanye to find a home church and find a pastor. It is unclear if Laurie is volunteering himself, but he certainly made it clear that Kanye should be conducting his extremely popular Sunday Service with the guidance of a pastor. "Every believer needs a home church and they need a pastor," he said.
Finally, Laurie encouraged Kanye to share his faith. He admitted that again, Kanye is already doing this really well on his own. He warned Kanye about detractors and those who will mock his faith. Being a celebrity, Kanye is not a stranger to criticism. However, the pastor says that "sometimes it will be people who identify as Christians that will nit-pick and critique you instead of pray for you."
The full text of the open letter is available on FaithWire.

For the longest time, I (and the fans) have been waiting on some new ScHoolboy Q music, in preparation for his major label debut album, Oxymoron (no date of release yet). On TDE's 'Behind The Scenes' video with Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q was having a studio session in New York, and the song that was being played sounded dope, but it was brief. Well…a couple of days later, that song has surfaced. A story about his rugged roots on Hoover selling drugs and whatnot (he's not shy about it), SBQ joined forces with Ajax's own famed producer, Boi-1da, on what is the first single from his album. This is hype, and please play with caution – you might hurt someone. Enjoy.

Demi Lovato is currently facing a lawsuit brought against her by indie rock outfit Sleigh Bells. The duo claim elements of her 2015 song "Stars" are similar enough to their 2010 track "Infinity Guitars" to warrant copyright infringement.
Sleigh Bells members Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller filed the complaint today (August 22) and name Lovato, UMG Recordings and the track's producers Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub as the case's defendants, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"A comparison of the two songs reveals that, at the very least, the combination of the hand claps and bass drum, structured as 3 quarter beats and a rest, with the bass drum providing a counter-rhythm to the hand claps, is at least substantially similar in both works," says the band's complaint. "This infringing material repeats throughout the Defendants' song."
They claim the track's sonic similarities "transcend the realm of coincidence."
At the time, the song's producers — Falk and Yacoub — released a statement to Billboard, denying they'd sampled Sleigh Bells.
Listen to the two songs below and let us know if you think Sleigh Bells have a case.


AMSTERDAM The number of reported incidents of euthanasia has dropped by 15 percent during the past four years, but it is suspected the actual "mercy killing" figure is double the amount of recorded cases.
The five regional commissions responsible for checking to see if doctors comply with the regulations laid out in the euthanasia law received about 1,882 reports last year, about 330 less than the reported cases in 1999, the first year the commissions issued an annual report.
Some 12 doctors have been cited by the commissions in the past four years for not complying with all the regulations, but to date none have received a summons from the public prosecutor.
This year's annual report by the commissions, published on 29 April, is the first since the new euthanasia law came into force on 1 April 2002. The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalise euthanasia, but the practise was tolerated for many years prior to this.
Under the new law, the specialist commissions rather than the public prosecutor's department decide whether doctors have compiled with the rules. This measure was intended to give doctors more legal certainty.
But many doctors still do not trust the commissions and get annoyed and worried when the commission seeks additional information about specific cases.
The chairperson for the national body encompassing the five commissions, Reina de Valk, believes that this suspicion might distort the official euthanasia figures. De Valk said the actual number of cases might be double the recorded figure.
"Time is needed to win the confidence of doctors," she said.
The Health Ministry is currently examining ways to tackle the number of unreported cases, newspaper De Volkskrant reported.
Meanwhile, the increased attention for prescribing painkillers might also have helped reduce the number of euthanasia cases.
Over the past four years, 12 doctors have been referred to the public prosecutor. Some cases have been investigated, but no cases have come to court as most cases referred to alleged procedural failures, rather than deliberate attempts to flout the law.

Proyecto Latina – January 2012
Paloma Martinez-Cruz, Ph.D., Photo by Thelma Uranga
The Proyecto Latina Reading Series is excited to kick off the year with our first feature, writer Paloma Martinez-Cruz. She will be reading from her new book Women and Knowledge in Mesoamerica: From East L.A. to Anahuac (University of Arizona Press, 2011). The book focuses on the medicine traditions of Mesoamerican women that constitute a hemispheric intellectual lineage that thrives despite the legacy of colonization.
Beginning with the pursuit of Chicana models of intellectual agency, Women and Knowledge in Mesoamerica is narrated as a journey to decolonize the mind in order to open up to the possibility of non-Western knowledge flows that prevailing analytical authorities have deemed "unintelligible." Starting in East L.A., the centrality of Mesoamerican women healers can be observed in the literature of the Chicano movement and beyond.

Year-end reivew: Who were the creative risk takers?
A year ago Diana Pando provided a year-end review and five tips for the creative tool box–exercises to tone our artistic muscle. After all, being a productive and dynamic artist takes the same attention and discipline an athlete might dedicate to a sport. A look at the 2011 roster of featured artists at our Proyecto Latina Reading Series, and the work they presented is proof of the time and dedication that this group of women invest in their art. Month after month, from comedic to somber each featured artist presented her work with a lot of heart and passion. I had the privilege to witness many moments of courage and vulnerability as these women took creative risks on the Proyecto Latina stage.
What follows is a quick snapshot of our third Mondays in 2011:
January: Sandra Delgado shared a lyrical monologue that weaved family history and of the art of perfume making.
February: Xenia Ruiz shared excerpts from her novel, a memoir and her most recent manuscript.
March: Awilda Lyse Gonzalez shared short stories and poems on identity, her experience as a single mom, and issues that effect women and our communities.
April: For National Poetry Month we featured Yolanda Nieves who read from her book The Spoken Body.
May: Kansas City writer Xanath Carranza presented poetry and narratives in English, Spanish and Nahuatl. We also had work on display from visual artist Maria Esther Leon.
June: Gwen La Roka infused us with plenty of laughter with her comedy.
July: Claudia Martinez brought more humor with her improv and comedy.
August: Natalie Marlena Goodnow visiting from Austin, Texas presented her solo play Mud Offerings.
September: Jazmin Corona exhibited photography and read a memoir piece.
October: Stephanie Manriquez delivered a multi-media presentation on the challenges that drive her to create.
November: A tad bitter-sweet year-end when our feature Kelly Norman Ellis cancelled because she was sick and unable to present but that didn't keep us from selecting a few poems from her book to share.
After the November Proyecto Latina Reading Series our team went out for celebratory drinks to toast to another successful year of creating literary and artistic programs in Chicago's Southside communities of Little Village, Pilsen and Bridgeport. We got down to business and on a cocktail napkin drafted a wish-list of 2012 calendar of features.
As I write this we are extending invitations–as soon as we have logistics confirmed we will be sharing our calendar. As always, if you have someone you think deserves the spotlight drop us a line: info@proyectolatina.org.
See you in 2012! Remember to save the date for the next Proyecto Latina, 01/16/12 @ 7 p.m. Details coming soon.

10.17.11: Spotlight on multi-media maven Stephanie Manriquez
photo credit: Thelma Uranga
Sometimes we like to go "backstage" and scout out the Latina talent in the wings–the people with the skills to make those in the spotlight shine a little brighter. These are the shyer counterparts to limelight lovers and often the work they do is equally amazing and just as important. We are pretty excited to hear that Stephanie Manriquez, the Proyecto Latina feature in October will be arriving with a multi-media presentation of her work. Our reading series continues to tour the south side and we are thrilled to be returning to the Carlos and Dominguez Fine Arts Gallery. As always the Chisme Box will be taking your confessional and gossipy bits. We want to know what you've been working on so make sure to ask about Open mic sign-up if you plan to participate.

Stephanie Manriquez is a writer and an independent radio producer, a cultural worker and social activist. A native of Mexico City where she also obtained a degree in Marketing from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional at the age of sixteen. In 2001 she moved to the Chicago and began her work with public radio— during her tenure at Radio Arte, WRTE Chicago, she participated in programs such as Homofrecuencia ultimately becoming a co-producer, Chronicles of an Announced Interview and Polyforum —a program dedicated to the local arts scene and recognized for its original direction and production
While working at Radio Arte, Stephanie satisfied her quest for shedding light on social justice issues that affect the Latino communities such as the anti-immigrant movement here in the United States.
Due to a lack of contemporary spaces within the Latino communities in Chicago and in conjuction with other independent artists she decided to organize the first Festival of Latino Electronic Music in 2007. This summer marked its 4th anniversary with over 13 Latin American artists of international stature that imparted workshops and conducted discussions on digital, experimental and audiovisual art plus presented electronic music of different genres.
She has participated with audio pieces and/or audio documentaries at many sites such as the National Museum of Mexican Art, Pilsen Open Studios and in a compilation of audio work from CONACULTA Chihuahua with her piece titled, Tribute to Juarez Women.
Currently she collaborates with several publications such as El Extra Newspaper, Chi-remezcla, Pilsen Portal and Revista Contratiempo. As part of her collaboration with Contratiempo (2008) and as member of their editorial team (2010), she sharpens her focus on issues of the Pilsen community, its art and its people.

The Chisme box will also be there waiting for your friendly and anonymous chismes.
This month we are thrilled to feature nuestra Comadre Ydalmi Noriega. We met Ydalmi a few years ago at one of the first Comadrazos she organized in Chicago. Since then she has been coming to Proyecto Latina and you can only imagine how ecstatic we were when she told us she was working on a novel.
About our feature: Ydalmi Noriega is a writer who explores characters' struggles with identity and purpose through fiction. Each day these characters negotiate the balance between responsibility and pleasure. She is currently working on a novel titled Crudes that is narrated by a 10-year-old boy whose family leaves their soon-to-be-foreclosed home. It examines the building of identity through consumerism and the different manifestations of ownership in our daily lives.
Ydalmi studied economics and fiction writing and works crunching numbers for a staffing firm downtown. This way she is able to devote evenings, or very early mornings when the gods of discipline smile upon her, to writing. She has lived in Chicago for eight years where every day un cafecito con leche a las tres de la tarde keeps her connected to home in Rincon, Puerto Rico.

Overcoming the Challenges of Genetic Test Identification for Billing & Reimbursement
Mon. September 21, 2020
The Genetic Health Information Network Summit has become a forum for influential leaders across healthcare to articulate practical challenges and brainstorm solutions to enable precision medicine. One recurring theme of these events (summarized here) is the ambiguity in the systems used to identify genetic tests for billing, adjudication, and reimbursement.
It is no secret that the genetic testing market has grown quickly. This creates a number of challenges, one of which is that the consensus on how these tests should be billed has not kept pace. Coding variation, price variation, and time-consuming efforts related to billing and payment in this space remain high. These practical challenges limit the potential of genomic medicine.
With the goal of analyzing this problem and identifying practical solutions, Concert worked with fellow Summit organizers to host a webinar featuring leading experts in the space. Summarized here are key observations from the event and updates about cross-stakeholder solutions emerging from events like it.
What does the problem look like today?
Genetic test identification, coding, billing, and reimbursement is not a new problem, but it has evolved. Key updates and observations from the webinar include:
The connection between payment and regulatory agencies has gotten tighter. Multiple organizations are impacted when test codes are established, so they need to collaborate.
Coding has become granular and complex in response to a sharply rising genetic testing market. Without a taxonomy to organize and relate codes and code sets to one another, things can get confusing.
Definitions and frameworks are not shared between clinicians, labs, and payers. With no shared language, consensus on how to make the system work lags.
Not all challenges of genetic testing are about coding. Adjacent issues include finding scientific evidence or clinical practice guidelines to make a determination about a genetic test. And, what is "enough"?
A complete recording of the webinar can be found here.
These observations highlight challenges that are complex, and that cannot be solved by any one stakeholder. The intent of Summit events are to inform solutions that foster cross-stakeholder collaboration. One such solution, designed by Concert Genetics with input from Summit participants, may be of interest in the context of this conversation.
A practical solution for laboratories and commercial health plans
Laboratories and health plans have long needed an efficient method to agree upon how tests will be coded, priced, and covered. As multi-gene panels (billed with multiple codes) have proliferated, this need has intensified. Combing input from key stakeholders with its unique data and software, the team at Concert has designed an innovative approach whereby health plans establish a reimbursement policy that brings laboratories billing for genetic and molecular testing together with the health plan to agree to a set of test-specific coding recommendations.
In the case of this policy, the recommendations are generated by the Concert Coding Engine. This process aims to improve the clarity of linkages between the specific tests offered by laboratories and the billing codes associated with those tests, to bring consistency and reliability to the billing and reimbursement process. This clarity sets the stage for more predictable and efficient payment processes–benefiting all involved.
About the Concert Coding Engine
Launched in September 2019, the Concert Coding Engine is a data-driven coding tool for genetic testing, built to address transparency and efficiency gaps in the space. It aims to drive predictable reimbursement, consistent application of medical policy, and accurate determination of insurance coverage and price by following basic principles and assumptions:
There should be one correct, agreed-upon way to code each genetic test on the market.
Creating a set of unambiguous, standardized data requires a deep understanding of tests, codes, and data gaps.
A unifying coding method should be integrated into the existing healthcare system, not created outside of it.
A solution must be widely available, balanced with a business model to continue ongoing support of the tool.
The Coding Engine uses Concert's detailed database as its ground truth for tests and test attributes. Driven by an algorithm, the Coding Engine follows a logic that maps tests to codes, building crosswalks between previously isolated and ambiguous data sets, pictured here.
Needless to say, more work remains to implement this (or any) solution on a market-wide basis. But the hope of the Concert team, in both helping organize the Summit and developing solutions like this one, is that the rate at which high-quality and high-value precision medicine is delivered through the U.S. healthcare system will continue to accelerate.
Challenges of genetic test identification for billing and reimbursement are persistent and evolving. Addressing them necessitates dialogue between stakeholders to build mutual understanding, definitions, and policy. The current system continues to function on fragmented, disconnected data that is inconsistently applied. Only when these data can be disambiguated, organized, connected, and integrated into existing systems can valuable insights be gained to bring transparency and improve patient outcomes through genomic medicine.
Coding Variability in Genetic Testing provides a detailed view of how the extent to which similar genetic tests are billed using different combinations of codes, and how this affects test pricing.
A Coding Solution for Genetic Testing offers more details on the methodology and coding logic flow. Concert maintains a commitment to working with all stakeholders to improve the Coding Engine over time.

This morning a new baby boy has joined my brother and sister-in-laws family. It's always so exciting to have new babies and to give them new things. So this new baby boy is getting my newly finished quilt.
I've decided to call it Sea Glass, because those colored fabrics remind me of of the green glass buoys everyone but me seems to have. And I want some! This time I machine appliqued with a blanket stitch instead of needle turn. I think I prefer the look of needle turn, but you can't ignore the speed of machine applique and the contrasting thread makes it interesting.
I then decided to hand quilt everything else to make the quilt soft to wrap a new baby in. I love the ornate machine quilts, but there is something very... down to earth I guess about hand quilting. I hand quilted around each petal in grey to give some emphasis with the stitching. I love how the dotted line turned out, then used white for a more subtle approach for the background.
So there you go, the newest project, Sea Glass, going to our new family member. We love him already.
The pattern should take less than a year this time!
Oh my, Patti. This is beautiful!
This is beautiful! I can't wait to make it! Just bought the pattern today!
I love these fabrics! I've been wanting to make a quilt for my bedroom in shades of turquoise and yellow, do you mind sharing what you used here?
Hi I have purchased this pattern on Craftsy. I found three of the four fabrics but need some of the center dark turquoise from George Courey. Do you have any idea where I could find this fabric? Thank you so much!
Hi there. I just purchased your Sea Glass pattern (just love it!, I have a query - do you need to use a walking foot while doing the blanket stitching around the appliqué?
I used a walking foot. I'm not that skilled in the free motion quilting department. Ha!
Did you use steam-a-seam on the applique? If so, does it make it stiff?
I did use a fusible web product on half of the appliqué, lapel glue on some, pins on others. I was experimenting. I didn't notice that the fusible web made it too stiff. The blanket still felt nice.
Your quilt is very beautiful the colors are outstanding the way it all came together. Great Job.
I love this! Beautifully done in every respect. Is it raw edge appliqué of did you turn it by hand before machine blanket stitching?
It is raw edge. But I encourage everyone to do what they are comfortable with.
Love this quilt it's beautiful. What fabric did you use?
George Courey Brook Impression Turquoise.
I can't find this last fabric anywhere online so just choose a more monochromatic turquoise.
I have just purchased this pattern. My daughter is wanting this to be a king size quilt. Has anyone made this in a King? If so could you please let me know how much fabric you got.
Is the king version made in sections or are you appliqueing onto a whole cloth??
Yes, I like to use a whole cloth and the direction are for that. However, you can totally piece together your own backing before you apply the petals. I have done that as well.


When I learned my husband was up for a significant promotion at his work, my first instinct was—regrettably—not excitement. Instead, fear and doubt filled me.
Although the intellectual side of my brain was excited for Luke to advance his career in a job he loves, the emotional side knew it would require a great deal of his time and energy. I was anxious about how our marriage would stand up to that kind of strain and anxious about where a promotion might eventually lead. We've been through less-than-ideal jobs, prayers answered with "No," and discontented dwelling in forests of question marks. We have only grown together through all of those situations, but this seemed like something new I wasn't sure I had the skills to handle.
When I feel that kind of worry coursing through my mind and emotions, no amount of talking it out—no matter how many vanilla lattes may be involved—is going to cut it. I must write, and I won't admit here how many journals I have filled through the years. My typical journal entry is a prayer, usually spilling out all the worries and fears crowding my mind, then making some requests about how I think the situation should be resolved. If I write long enough, I may manage to end with some form of, "…but I will be content with what You make happen because You know best." Sometimes, that's just how life works for us Type-A planners.

2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Mille Miglia 417
2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Mille Miglia 417 Reviews
The Mercedes Benz SL will be re-styled shortly, but before a comprehensive facelift repairs its aesthetic problems, the organization is starting this Mille Miglia 417 special version, which pays homage to some caption. This is a modern day interpretation of the 300SL that was pushed at the 1955 Mille Miglia from the American John Fitch and his co-driver Kurt Gessl to an amazing fifth position overall. A series production automobile, that Mercedes ended well forward of several cars.
It is difficult to blow off this special variant of today's SL. Offered just in matte-black, it comes completely with black wheels measuring 19-inches up front and 20-inches in the rear. In and outside, the Mille Miglia 417 is littered with red accents. It is maybe not unobtrusive, but it's nicely performed.
Open-top motoring is a portion of the SL's attractiveness, and we took advantage of each chance to reduce its retractable-hardtop. But dropping the best needs preparation: Whereas some opponents' electricity tops may be used while going at rates up to 30 miles per hour, this one operates just at creeping rates or when at a stand-still.
Top up or down, the SL550 Mille Miglia 417 seems competitive, which is quick: 60-mph comes up in just over four seconds, based on Mercedes, also it could reach a regulated 155 mph. The sound-track, nevertheless, could be more fascinating. When you take your foot off the accelerator, the popping in the exhaust does not just sound as fiery as in an AMG--think of tin cans slamming together, and you get an concept. And while the accelerator mapping is too competitive, the seven-speed automated in this SL550 feels slack by comparison.
We loathed the driver-support systems. In lively driving and lane-catching in town, the SL over repeatedly worried it was about to crash--and mechanically employed full braking. This, obviously, produced our driver appear to be a idiot and gave these behind us the feeling that individuals intentionally brake-examined them. Our test auto managed just an signaled 14 mpg in our treatment, even though our time with this particular Benz, which took place (normally) in Italy, contained lots of hard-driving and triple-digit rates. Motorists in the US will certainly do considerably better.
On the open-road, we were amazed by the SL's directional stability and steering precision. And despite its enormous wheels, this SL possesses enough comfortable journey quality. Right in the limitation, but the changeover between under- and lead is a little more dramatic than one might expect from an automobile that is otherwise fairly composed. The SL63 AMG is more persuasive when it involves difficult driving.
Really, if we were in the marketplace for an SL, we would strive difficult to think of the additional $30K or so that different this special version in the more strong and totally better SL63 AMG (or go all out for an AMG GT). But like all special versions, the Mille Miglia 417 h AS its distinctive allure. Down the street, it could well turn into a collector's item, though it probably will not actually be as sought after as the automobile from which it attracts inspiration.

Q: Highest Variable Value on Every Page I am writing a document where each paragraph is categorized. I'm encoding the category as a simple numeric variable: 1, 2, 3, &c. On each page I want to know and possibly display the highest category value of any content on the page. I'm using a simple counter and wrapping each paragraph in a macro that updates the counter value if the paragraph category is higher than anything encountered so far. I'm resetting the counter every page using either everypage or everyshi. So far it almost works.
Also, I really, really don't want paragraphs to be broken across pages. When I set
\widowpenalties 1 10000

to try to enforce this, the category counter behaves in the strangest way. This strange behavior is my trouble.
The page category counter always resets two paragraphs too late into the next page. I'm completely mystified. Can anyone please shed light on this?
I'll happily accept suggestions of other ways to accomplish what I want, too.
Here is a not-very-minimal working example. It's 9 pages long. There are four pages at the beginning that show the behavior without setting widowpenalties. Then there's a separation page before four more identical pages with widowpenalties turned up to 10,000.
When you run the code, each paragraph is marked with two like 2-1 The first number is the highest category yet encountered on that page and the second number is that paragraph's category. To see the odd behavior, notice that n page 2, you'll see the first two paragraphs marked 1-1 but on page 7 you'll see the exact same two paragraphs marked 3-1.

The food industry parallels with life. Not that other industries don't, but there are certain concepts that just align with living a fulfilling life.
I often allude to the "stereotypical chef" in my blog posts. However, while Gordon Ramsey is being glorified on TV, not many real life kitchen environments are portrayed correctly to the public.
Have you ever been to restaurants like Per Se and Eleven Madison? If you've never been, you haven't witnessed the well-oiled machine. Course after course comes out on time, delivered to your table at its peak, ready to be devoured immediately. So many cogs and wheels turning and firing at just the exact time they need to, making your experience as seamless as possible.
In a perfect world, that would be happening every moment. In the restaurant industry, that's surely never the case. Things are wildly predictably unpredictable. Just like in "real" life.
There is always a challenge waiting to be met, whether your sauté guy never showed up, your purveyor delivered frozen pizzas instead of potatoes (actually happened), or you get slammed in the kitchen with several large parties at once. You are always on your toes, ready for the next wrench to be throw into your well-oiled machine. Just like life.
Precise communication is key in these instances, and always helps pull us out of the weeds. This forces us as human beings to be pretty good at going with the flow and adapting to change. Just like life.
Nothing is ever as it seems, so we've learned to realize that in life as well.
Change is not bad. While most fear change, wrenches in your day almost always yield important valuable lessons. Being able to adapt and learn quickly is a blessing. It's what every good chef/baker/cook learns—and it's what life teaches us all.
We find this lesson a corner stone we've built Ability 2 Work upon. Teaching the population least known for its ability to change and flexibility the need for this skill to feel happier in your life.
Here at Baker's Treat, things are always changing. Sometimes expected, sometimes not expected. We're constantly changing and tailoring things to excellence, and we believe stagnancy in unacceptable. The unexpected? Well the pizzas instead of potatoes definitely did happen. But working with our Ability 2 Work apprentices and working with the public yield many unexpected challenges.
Sometimes a student is having a challenging day and is on the verge of melting down, while lunch rush has just hit, we're somehow out of pork roll (yes, horribly un-new jersey of us), and someone accidently poured all of the flour for their recipe all over the floor. Our heads are spinning, yet we center ourselves (deep breaths are BIG here), walkie each other and everything gets sorted out in the fastest way possible. There is no yelling, no anger—in fact lots of chuckles through our crazy moments—humor gets us through. It's very UN "TV" esque.
The most important part? Is that no matter how crazy our days get, we always get to end them with high-fives, smiles, laughter, and getting to see our differently-abled students blossom into these beautiful bright and happy adults. And that is the biggest blessing of all. Just like in 'real' life.
And the food shows it. Join us for 'life' at Baker's Treat, I promise it will put a smile on your face, joy in your heart and love in your tummies.

studying medicine in the Czech Republic?
I'm Czech, studying the Palacky University, currently the 2nd year out of 6.
How do you like it in Prague? Are you in Czech or in English Progamme?
I was accepted to Prague too, but I chose Olomouc because it was closer to home, and my mom studied there too, so she was highly reccomending it.
Prague is ok. It's a nice, little charming city but frankly, after having stayed here for 3 years, I just wanna go back home. I'm in the English program.
How is Olomouc? I do have 2 friends studying there but I haven't really been in touch with them for a long time now.
Economy played the role when choosing the school, too.
Do you speak Czech, already? I know few 3rd year English program students and they spoke a bit Czech, not much, but enough to survive here.
Where are you from? What made you choose the Czech Republic? I'm always curious about this, I know some people are here because of the government scholarship, some pay the tuition themselves.
Do you like Czech people, culture etc? I know that for some, especially muslim, students it's quite a culture shock.
I'm from the US and I chose this university because I never actually did a bachelor's degree (i.e. college). I wanted to go to med school directly (little did I know back then that I had a huge price to pay.) But I am really satisfied with the university as I've learnt a lot over the years. The profs. are also quite good, which makes things a lot better.
I do like certain aspects of Czech culture (like the fact that they're quite family oriented.) I'm not really a fan of Czech food or rather the Bohemian cuisine as I find it quite limited in choice (but I do love gulash, svickova, blbovina, and a few other dishes.) I also don't mind being around Czech people...well most of them. I've had some awkward/bad encounters but I guess these sorts of people are ubiquitous in every country. And if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? How's 2nd year working out for you?
Is the American med system very different? I've heard they have only one semester of anatomy, but not like here, they learn only the anatomy, nothing else at that time. I don't know what to think of it ... I'd probably go crazy from studying only the anatomy all the time.
I like the 2 - 3 semesters here better.
I don't know much about other subjects, since anatomy used to be my main worry until now.
Will your title be recognised? Or will you have to do some additional exams in the US?
We had 3 semesters of anatomy, and this semester, so much pressure has been lifted ... but I can't bring myself to study ... now, it's mainly biochemistry and physiology and I want to take the biochemistry first (because I don't like it and I find it more difficult, and I always took the most difficult exams first).
Actually American medical schools are rather diverse. Some of them follow the block system while others don't. Some use the PBL (problem based learning) approach, while others stick to the traditional approach.
The title we receive here is CR (MuDr.) is equivalent to MD but one does have to undergo the USMLE Steps (3 steps) + ECFMG certification and also getting licensure from the state.
2nd year was a lot harder than the first. I had a tough time with Biochem in the beginning but everything turned out fine in the end. Physiology is a lot harder mainly because it's such a vast subject. But I really loved it.
And you're right, Germany is undergoing a huge shortage of doctors at the moment (and this trend is said to continue for the next few years). I'm actually looking into the Netherlands or Scandinavia as my alternative (in case I don't get into the US).
I am a 16 year old US student with a 3.45 GPA and a drive to make it to the czech republic. I am very nervous about the entrance exam to charles university. Any tips or tricks you can please teach me so i do not fail in my life? Please and thank you!
I am very interested in applying to a couple of the czech universities and have a couple of questions to ask!
1) Apart from passing the tests, what other entry requirements are needed?
2) I am currently taking British A levels and I am taking biology, chemistry and maths. And I was just wondering, do I definitely need to take maths?
3) Do I have to get certain grades in my A levels to get a place?
4) Do the universities give you an interview?
5) How early can you take the tests and how long do I need to prepare for them?
Thank you so much! How hard was the test? I am in the US so i will have to take the test In New York. Where are you from?
I'm thinking about applying to the university in Prague. Is it worth it? I lived in France for a couple of years and wasn't accepted for the medical course... they asked me to send all the certificates from Millersville University of Pennsylvania where I studied before.. I couldn't do it..
If you are planning to return to the US, you should know that there were too few IMG's from the Czech Republic to be included in ECFMG data on US Matches.
Hi, does anyone know what needs to be on the school leaving certificate?
What was the major price which you had to pay? The limited residency options? The tedious process of returning to North America? Is pathology an option for an IMG returning to North America?

Study reveals how renegade protein interrupts brain cell function in Alzheimer's disease
Dozens of molecules may tangle up with rogue bundles of tau, a protein that normally gives nerve fibers structure, to cause brain cell damage that contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, a new study shows. Neuroscientists have previously found that tau can become toxic when extra chemical molecules accumulate with its structure in the brain, causing it
Gene-network analysis is a valuable new tool for understanding Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is known to involve interactions among many different genes, making it difficult to pinpoint the specific mechanisms. But now, researchers from Japan have found a new way to identify genes implicated in neurodegeneration in AD. In a study published this month in Human Molecular Genetics, researchers from Osaka University, Niigata University, and
Australia unprepared to move future Alzheimer's treatment into rapid clinical use

Depression symptoms in Alzheimer's could be signs for cognitive decline
BOSTON -Increasingly, Alzheimer's disease (AD) research has focused on the preclinical stage, when people have biological evidence of AD but no or minimal symptoms, and when interventions might have the potential to prevent future decline of older adults. Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have shed important new light on this area, reporting in a
Having a paying job may help fend off Alzheimer's disease in women
A new study has shed light on a possible risk factor for Alzheimer's disease in women: not having a job. Dr. Elizabeth R. Mayeda, assistant professor of epidemiology at UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health, conducted a study on later-life cognitive health in women and found that working women showed a slower decrease in memory

Epilepsy drugs linked to increased risk of suicidal behavior, particularly in young people: Review of treatment guidelines needed, suggest researchers
Treatment with gabapentinoids — a group of drugs used for epilepsy, nerve pain and anxiety disorders — is associated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviour, unintentional overdose, injuries, and road traffic incidents, finds a study from Sweden published by The BMJ today. Prescriptions have risen steeply in recent years, and gabapentinoids are among the
Anti hypertensive drug use was associated with a decreased dementia risk
Various clinical trials indicate what effects can be expected from standardized intervention programs on the basis of existing evidence. Little is known about the way in which such programs can be implemented in actual care practice. However, it may be possible to use data from clinical practice to estimate the potential of drug prescriptions to
Broken brain cells repaired in dementia mouse model: If translated to humans, results suggest new directions for combating cognitive decline in elderly
Dysfunctional neurons in the hippocampus of adult female mice modeling dementia can be repaired and reconnected to distant parts of the brain, reports a new study published in JNeurosci. The similarity between the mouse model and the human condition underscores the therapeutic potential of targeting these cells in dementia patients. The hippocampus generates new brain
Dementia warning: Common sign of Alzheimer's you may be missing – and it happens at home
Dementia is the name given to a group of symptoms linked to an ongoing decline in brain function, according to the NHS.
