On Salman Rushdie's Devotion to the Art of Fiction
This Week on the History of Literature Podcast
with Jacke Wilson
By History of Literature
For tens of thousands of years, human beings have been using fictional devices to shape their worlds and communicate with one another. Four thousand years ago they began writing down these stories, and a great flourishing of human achievement began. We know it today as literature, a term broad enough to encompass everything from ancient epic poetry to contemporary novels. How did literature develop? What forms has it taken? And what can we learn from engaging with these works today? Hosted by Jacke Wilson, an amateur scholar with a lifelong passion for literature, The History of Literature takes a fresh look at some of the most compelling examples of creative genius the world has ever known.
Salman Rushdie became famous in the literary world in 1981, when his second novel Midnight's Children became a bestseller and won the Booker Prize. By the end of that decade, he was perhaps the most famous author in the world, as the fatwa calling for his execution made global headlines. Throughout these years, and despite nearly unimaginable circumstances, Rushdie has continued his devotion to the art of fiction, producing a dozen novels in addition to short stories and works of nonfiction. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at the life, works, and outlook of Salman Rushdie.

Readers of Ask the Agent know I'm suspicious of the seemingly endless stream of publishing tips that you read in writers publications, blogs, and workshops. Given my skepticism about this kind of shorthand advice, my tips tend to be framed with a lot of ironic and self-deprecating humor. And I also try to be realistic to the point of blunt. This blog is not for the faint of heart. Those seeking flittery feel-good inspiration will likely be uncomfortable here.
But there is one tip that is as indisputable and immutable as a law of physics. That is: first impressions count. And your first paragraph will be the agent's first (and possibly) last impression of your work. So it better be better than good.
When I started working with fiction, I found that I usually could decide by the end of the first paragraph if a writer had talent. I was a little ashamed of this, so I asked around with other agents and editors. They agreed. This is not to say that I can tell by the end of the first paragraph whether a book is publishable. If the first paragraph makes me fall in love, I'll keep reading until that first blush of romance disappears. It usually does at some point. Sometimes in the second paragraph. Sometimes on page 100. Only rarely do I find myself reading the last line at 3 in the morning crying like a baby. But when that happens, it makes everything all worthwhile.
First impressions with an agent are no different than anything else in life. If you were going for an interview at Knopf, you probably wouldn't show up wearing a NASCAR t-shirt and a John Deere hat. (Unless, you were looking for a job as an editor of a new imprint on ironic detachment.) If your first paragraph is characterized by clunky style, pretentious and flowery figures of speech, clichés, literary throat clearing, descriptions of the weather, clumsy efforts to shoehorn backstory into the narrative, or other stylistic bads, it's going to take a lot of brilliant writing to dispel that first impression. And chances are editors and agents aren't going to afford you that much more time.
This may seem harsh and unforgiving, but here's my advice. Make that first paragraph sparkling and brilliant. And after that, make the second paragraph sparkling and brilliant.

Do You Have to Change Your Oil Every 3,000 Miles?
To quickly answer the inquiry posed in this article's title, NO! Modern vehicles do not need to have their crankcase lubricant exchanged every 3,000 miles. However, there are caveats and you need to be aware of them. We'll explore these in greater detail after the jump so go ahead and click the link. We'll wait for you.
These days the 3,000-mile oil-change interval is generally unnecessary, but this hasn't stopped garages and repair shops from perpetuating the myth. And why shouldn't they? It keeps you coming back for regular service.
Frank Donnelly, senior manager for Mopar maintenance portfolio said the 3,000-mile period is "certainly relevant, just not on cars produced today," although he also said there are plenty of vehicles on the road that still require new oil according to that interval.
In decades past when carburetors were de rigueur, fuel dilution of the lubricant was an issue and something that necessitated regular changes. Fortunately the greater precision of fuel injection alleviates this problem.
Crankcase breathing was also not a strong suit of older engines. Moisture could accumulate in the lubricant, potentially causing nasty sludge to buildup.
And if all of that wasn't enough, oils of the past simply weren't as good as the ones available today. This is true of both high-end synthetic and good old conventional. The science of lubrication is miles ahead of where it once was.
"[Conventional] oil is better than it used to be," said Ed Newman, advertising manager at Amsoil Inc., though he said it's still more volatile than synthetic so it "boils off quite a bit," which is the reason it tends to get thicker over time. Additionally heat is a killer of dinosaur-based lubricants. "It does cause conventional oils to have issues, oxidation being the primary one."
Ensuring drivers get the most out of their oil, many manufacturers including Chrysler have introduced systems that monitor a battery of vehicle parameters to determine how much life is left in the lubricant. Some of these data points include temperature, engine load, idle time and number of cold starts. "Those are the inputs that are driving the indicator," said Donnelly.
Obviously your engine's oil isn't going to last as long as if you regularly tow a horse trailer up a mountain in stop-and-go traffic as it would if you commuted to work on a flat, empty highway at steady speeds. If your driving habits put you in the latter category Donnelly said "you're going to be at the longer end of the interval," which for Chrysler can be as much as 10,000 miles or more. If you're in the former camp of severe-duty users, plan on changing the oil more frequently. "The low end of it is 4,000 miles," he said.
But what about durability? Donnelly said, "It's safe to do. We're not giving up the performance of the engine to accomplish this. It really is based on the advancements of both the oil and the engine."
The result of this computerized monitoring is beneficial to drivers and the environment. "We're able to reduce the time and money that customers have to spend maintaining their vehicles," said Donnelly, which in today's hectic world can be a godsend. Also, fewer trips to the shop reduce waste oil, which is good for Mother Earth.
Still, if you drive little and under ideal circumstances they do recommend you change the oil on occasion. "We do ask customers to make sure they go in once a year," said Donnelly. This is important because the additives in lubricant can break down over time. Things like detergents, anti-foaming agents, corrosion inhibitors, friction modifiers and more can all degrade. Modern engine oil goes far beyond simple refined crude; it's loaded with more ingredients and chemicals than a TV dinner, though probably fewer preservatives and a lot less MSG.
To Infiniti and Beyond (or at Least 25,000 Miles)
But there's another way to reduce maintenance and extend your vehicle's oil-drain intervals, especially if it's older and lacks a monitoring system. Instead of relying on computerized sensors and algorithms you can simply use a more advanced lubricant.
There are numerous high-end synthetic oils on the market today and many of them promise to last for thousands and thousands of miles. One of the most well known of these is Amzoil. Their flagship Signature Series lubricant is rated to last for a whopping 25,000 miles or one year. That's like driving the entire circumference of the earth's equator without changing the oil.
"The way motor oil is formulated, it's a base stock and then additives," said Newman, noting that what differentiates their products is the extra chemicals they put in. "The additives play a role and what we've always done is have beefier additives packages."
Newman said, "We're a private company," adding that their publicly traded rivals are always looking for ways to improve margins for their shareholders. "Amsoil has a different target," he said, "to be the best."
Interestingly, the company was founded by a former fighter pilot. Newman said the benefits of synthetic lubricants were really discovered by these top-gun fliers back in the 1950s and '60s. During the wintertime he said their aircraft performed just fine in cold conditions but their vehicles were another story. "All these pilots would come back and see that their cars wouldn't start," because the oil had thickened so much.
Still, it wasn't an easy task adapting a synthetic lubricant from aviation to automotive applications. It took Amsoil 10 years of work. Newman said seal swell and other issues had to be addressed before they could offer it on the market ...

As far as a Prius, this is my 2nd Prius. I get my car serviced at the dealer I bought it from. They used synthetic oil and change my oil and filter every 10K miles. I rotate my tires every 5K. I drive on paved streets only......Hope this helps.......

Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp
Located deep in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in western Uganda, this intimate lodge offers luxury in the midst of one of Africa's most amazing natural environments.
Located deep in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in western Uganda, this intimate lodge offers luxury in the midst of one of Africa's most amazing natural environments. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Bwindi is one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth including 113 species of mammals (including a herd of the rare forest elephant), 200 species of butterfly and over 360 species of birds. In addition, Bwindi is home to seven species of primates of which the most endangered is the elusive mountain gorilla. Only 700 of these magnificent animals remain worldwide and Bwindi is home to just over half of them.
Gorilla Forest Camp has a bar and dining cottage as well as a natural raised platform for open-air dining. At night, a traditional African campfire is lit where the gorilla briefings take place. Cuisine and service has been described as the best in Uganda. Experienced guides will accompany you on your gorilla trekking where a maximum of eight visitors are allowed to each gorilla family group. Tracking can take anything between half an hour and up to nine hours dependent on the family you are visiting. You will also be trekking at altitudes of 5200 feet so a good level of fitness is required.
Perfect luxury base to go gorilla tracking
Other activities on offer include bird watching, forest tracking and visits to the local market and villages
Eight spacious tents on raised wooden platforms with en suite bathrooms
A superb mini spa offering various treatments and massages
Children are welcome at the camp but only children aged 15 and above are able to track the gorillas

Have you noticed a trend that elected government officials are abdicating "oversight" responsibilities, particularly at the federal level? Now we see this questionable practice creeping into local government.
It is my understanding Otsego County has no specific county-run program to provide housing to the homeless and that it is considering approving a millage proposal to provide direct taxpayer funding to the Friendship Housing Center, a private entity, with no apparent "strings" to protect taxpayers.
We need not discuss the merits of whether providing shelter to the homeless is a governmental function. Rather, the debate needs to be focused on whether private entities requesting taxpayer funding should be required to provide some assurances the taxpayer's money is well spent.
1. How many and what percentage of those receiving benefits/services from the private entity in Otsego County are actually residents (prior to seeking services) of our county?
2. How many served by the private entity are nonresidents of the state of Michigan?
3. That the board determine prior to approving any expenditure or millage request to a private entity that the services and benefits provided are for the exclusive use of Otsego County residents.
4. Where no state or federal license is required to operate the private entity that the board determines what governmental oversight is present to ensure any services provided are not duplicative of other federal/state/county programs.
5. That the board determines whether the services/benefits provided by the private entity are subject to cost/benefit analysis.
6. All ownership interests in the private entity must be disclosed.
7. The private entity shall disclose all grants/funds received from any state/federal programs.
8. All wages/salaries of employees, managers and administrators must be disclosed.
a. That the county board of commissioners hold a majority of seats on the private entity's board of directors.
b. That the county board of commissioners file yearly liens on the private entity's assets in the amount of total taxpayer funds expended.
10. Based upon demographics of those actually receiving benefits/services are Otsego County taxpayers carrying too great a financial proportion of the costs that should more appropriately carried by state and/or federal funding sources?
I don't believe it is appropriate for the board to be a conduit providing taxpayer funds to a private entity without appropriate oversight. I hope you feel the same way and will present your views at the board meeting on Tuesday, July 23, (9:30 a.m., multipurpose room, J. Richard Yuill Alpine Center, 800 Livingston Blvd.).
I should note I have forwarded to the Friendship Housing Center under separate cover my donation in an effort to show that not all who are against unprotected tax funds going to private entities are against the homeless.


Blended learning, the teaching practice that combines teaching methods from both face-to-face and online learning, is an established, rapidly growing instructional model that is proving highly effective in helping institutions address the challenges of limited resources and the expectations of 21st century learners. Whether it is extending classroom instruction beyond the normal hours, supporting credit recovery programs, enhancing teacher professional development or delivering enriched learning opportunities for accelerated students, blended learning models are increasingly common practice across the curriculum for students and teachers alike.
Strategic uses of technology as colleges tap the capabilities of the learning management systems to support a wider range of instructional programs.
The intent of AIA Campus Connect programme is to showcase this blended learning model's potential and ignite faculty and students with new conversations about Integrated Automation learning and relevance to career needs in Industry.

You are here: Sustainability
Net zero by 2040
In 2021, Urenco announced its commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040 as part of The Climate Pledge (partner organisation of the UN's Race to Zero Campaign). The pledge calls on signatories to reach net zero carbon emissions 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement's 2050 target.
We are proud to have joined more than 300 other companies who have committed to this pledge, playing our part in achieving the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. This will involve:
Measuring and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions on a regular basis.
Implementing decarbonisation strategies in line with the targets of the Paris Agreement, including efficiency improvements, using more renewable energy, reducing materials usage and other carbon emission elimination strategies.
Taking action to neutralise any remaining emissions with additional, quantifiable, real, permanent, and socially beneficial offsets to achieve net zero annual carbon emissions by 2040.
This commitment is a key element of Urenco's Sustainability Strategy and a further demonstration that sustainability is firmly embedded within Urenco as one of our core values. From the valuable contribution we make to the low carbon economy to the socially responsible way we conduct our business, sustainability shapes our customer partnerships and guides our decision-making at all levels.
"We believe that nuclear power should and can play an important role in the clean energy transition. Achieving a sustainable energy system and meeting ambitious climate targets will be much harder without existing nuclear power and investment in new nuclear. We are supporting this through our production of fuel for carbon free electricity generation, and we are also strongly committed to reducing our own carbon emissions through our membership of and participation in The Climate Pledge."
- Boris Schucht, Urenco's Chief Executive Officer

Gösta Hjälmeby kom som femåring till Rösa i Skede församling utanför Vetlanda i Småland. Efter realexamen i Vetlanda arbetade han under nio år på Sparbanken där varefter han fick anställning hos småhustillverkaren Myresjöhus som ansvarig för försäljning i Vetlandaområdet. Här upptäckte han att det fanns marknad för fler aktörer och startade tillsammans med sin äldre bror Karl-Åke Hjälmeby och Kenneth Almqvist husfabriken Nordiska Trähus i Vrigstad i Småland 1969.

Med två anställda plus de tre ägarna och en omsättning på två miljoner första året expanderade företaget snabbt och hade på 1980-talet 180 anställda och en omsättning på 150 miljoner. Som den drivande kraften i trion var Gösta Hjälmeby VD för företaget från starten fram till 1986 då han i stället blev arbetande styrelseordförande. Vid denna tid var Nordiska Trähus en av de sju största hustillverkarna i landet. Han flyttade sedan till Falkenberg och startade företaget Skre AB.

Hjälmeby har också varit politiskt engagerad inom dåvarande Kristen Demokratisk Samling (KDS). Han satt under flera valperioder i fullmäktigeförsamlingarna för såväl Sävsjö kommun som Jönköpings läns landsting. Vidare har han haft styrelseuppdrag i Sveriges trähustillverkares riksförbund, dåvarande Sparbanken Alfa och Samspar. Han är frikyrkligt engagerad och var under många år sångledare i Vrigstads pingstförsamling.

Han gifte sig första gången 1962 med Berit Hjälmeby (1940–1982) och andra gången 1984 med Anita Hjälmeby (född 1938). Han har tre söner, födda 1962, 1966 och 1968.

Virus (WNV). Both horses were treated and have recovered uneventfully. The first case, reported on August 6, occurred in RM 222 (Craik). The latter case, reported on August 12, occurred in RM 4 (Coalfield).
Horse owners and their veterinarians are reminded that WNV remains a risk in many parts of the province.
Although Culex tarsalis numbers have been declining in our traps, the warm evening temperatures are still causing some 2nd generation Culex tarsalis females and other species to remain active and biting. The arrival of the 2nd generation was delayed this year and was caused in part by the late spring and cool weather we encountered at the end of July. We may continue to see some more positive pools and we still have the potential to see infections going into the Labour Day long weekend. The forecasted trend to cooler temperatures next week will certainly limit mosquito activity to the warmer afternoon and early evening period. Furthermore, people will start to cover up more consistently as the evening and night-time temperatures cool off. Fortunately the overall all level of virus cycling in birds and mosquitoes has been delayed and limited this year, and the risk of acquiring a WNV infection has been lower than in previous years.
As we enter September and early fall, people should continue to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes, at least until we get a hard frost. There are still a few mosquitoes that will be active on warm days and evenings, including Culiseta inornata and Aedes vexans. Although these are potential carriers of WNV, particularly in high activity years, they are not particularly competent vectors for human disease.


Let's go back, if you will, to 1974. Yikes, indeed! That's 33 years ago. Well, I was 26, and my first husband and I had just bought our first house, a 900 square foot poured concrete palace on Penetang Street. We loved it and our neighbours and the east end captured our hearts.
I was also the editor of The Banner, Barrie's privately owned weekly newspaper.
Anyway, our little house had one bedroom... sort of a Noddy house, if you are a Noddy story fan. The bedroom was the only room on the second floor with one dormer window that looked out onto the street. And that's where we were when the phone rang about 2 am one Tuesday morning.
Now, I must back up a little... Mondays were always busy for me since I covered City Council meetings at the old city hall. The meetings were very long, usually wrapping up around 11 pm. I would go home, fire up the Smith Corona portable, and pound out as many stories as I could. Then I'd grab an hour or two of sleep and grab my film and articles and head over to the office to start laying out the news portions of that week's newspaper.
So, when the phone rang, I was in hour one of my two-hours of sleep for that night.
Husband #1 answered the phone which was on the other side of the room. He came back and jostled me. "Donna, the mayor wants you on the phone!"
I didn't believe him. Thought he was joking. I opened one eye and looked at my alarm clock. 2:05 am. I rolled over and went back to sleep. I think I might have even told him off.
He jostled me again. "Donna! It's really the mayor. You have to get up and answer the phone. She's waiting. Honest!"
I squinted across the room. Indeed, the handset was off the cradle (no cordless phones in those days, or answering machines, other than first husbands).
I got up--bone weary--and grabbed the side edge of a newspaper (for note-taking) and went to the phone.
It was Dorian Parker. Dorian had been a fervent alderman for Ward Four (Allandale). She was like a bulldog for her constituents. She was shameless in her demands for Ward Four. She was protective of her ward and she knew how to fight.
She also knew how to phone.
When I read the front page today of Dorian's death Sunday it gave me pause to remember her. While her performance as mayor (the city's second female mayor, after Marjorie Hamilton) wasn't visionary, it was certainly solid.
Dorian served two terms as mayor. She fought some battles that she won. She fought some battles that she lost. At the end of her second term, she lost to Ross Archer, another Ward Four alderman.
Barrie was a small city in those days, mired in potential growth issues, the economic threat of outskirt malls, annexation of agricultural land, and the need for balanced budgets and rainy day money.
As an alderman Dorian lead the pack when the Barrie Country Club put its land up for sale and moved to its spacious facility on St Vincent St half way to Midhurst. Their 80 acre parcel of land, complete with treed ravines and gentle slopes was certainly being sought by developers. Dorian thought it should remain pristine and passive, quietly reflective of nature. As an alderman she could see ahead to the time when 80 acres of nature would be a real jewel at the heart of the city. And she was right. Sunnidale Park has remained an important solace in our city llights. The Country Clubhouse became a gathering place for weddings (it was one of the few places before the Southshore Community Centre was built). It was a fitting tribute that the building was re-named the Dorian Parker Centre a few years ago.
Dorian made a rare public appearance recently to fight the installation of a water reservoir in the park. It's one of the battles she lost.
She was opinionated. She worked hard. She worked really hard as mayor. It was her full time job. She raised two kids from a modest bungalow on Marcus St. She was an Allandale girl... all the way.
As people gather this week to attend visitations, to reflect on people served and people gone, Dorian's passing will give us an opportunity to look back. In many ways, Dorian lead this city when it was at a crossroads between growing up and staying small. Those were difficult decisions, fraught with unharnessed opinions that often did not reach consensus.
Dorian seldom laughed. She took her life and her role in this community very seriously. She did the very best that she could do.

Pork Producers to be Eligible for Restructuring Loans
Markets Industry and legislation Policy and regulation Government and regulatory
6 October 2009, at 11:05am
CANADA - The Canadian Pork Council is confident most Canadian pork producers will be eligible for loans being made available under a new restructuring plan being offered by the federal government for the Canadian pork industry, writes Bruce Cochrane.
Last week Ottawa unveiled details of a comprehensive restructuring plan for Canadian pork producers originally announced in August.
The plan includes funding for domestic and international pork promotion, a loan program to allow producers to restructure outstanding debt and a program under which struggling producers will be able to exit the industry.
CPC public relations manager Gary Stordy notes information on the package is available through the Canadian Pork Council web site and the provincial organizations are also expected make details available to their producers.
Gary Stordy-Canadian Pork Council
There's two main programs that are being offered to producers.
Right now there's the loan program that will essentially allow producers to deal with their liquidity crisis on the farm and we do believe that a majority of the producers will be eligible for that program.
Unfortunately there's going to be some producers that are just not going to be able to accommodate additional debt and may not be eligible for this loan.
That's where the Hog Farm Transition Program should come into play.
It's essentially a tender process where a producer will send a tender in for what they may require to set aside production for three years.
The intent of that is to capture producers who may not have been eligible for a loan and allow them to apply for this transition program, receive some funding underneath the program and at least readjust their production to perhaps return to the industry in three years.
Application forms for the loan program were made available beginning yesterday and application forms for the Hog Farm Transition Program will be available beginning 8 October.

What to Expect For Chrome OS at Google I/O 2018: Improved Android Support, New Chromebooks
Karthik Iyer -
Karthik Iyer
Last Updated: May 6, 2018 4:09 pm
Google's big developer conference starts next Tuesday, May 8. Like always, Google's new version of Android is expected to be the biggest announcement. However, you can also expect the company to make some other announcements about the software features that are headed to its ecosystem, including Android Auto, Android P, Android TV, Chrome OS, Google Assistant, etc.
As you can see from the event schedule page, Chromebooks have a dedicated session this time around called "What's new in Android apps for Chrome OS." So, while the Android P announcement is expected to take the center stage at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, we're also expecting the company to bring something new to the table for Chrome OS.
Android apps for Chrome OS
But what exactly is Google planning to announce? Well, there are a lot of speculations around but it is expected that Google might bring Android apps to older Chromebooks as well. That's right, the biggest thing to happen to Chrome OS in the last few years has been the introduction of Android apps onto Chrome OS-powered devices. It is expected that even more Chromebooks including the older ones and obviously the new ones will definitely have Play Store support.
We also expect better support for multi-tasking of apps i.e. window management, and scaling, which some apps have an issue with at the moment. Finally, Android apps on Chromebook could get the same app icon shortcuts that you are used to on the phone.
New Chromebooks
Now coming to the hardware side of things, it is expected that Google might introduce some new hardware including the first Chromebook with a 4K display. Also, considering the fact that Apple has already launched an education-focused product, it is expected that Google might flaunt some of its new Chromebooks to attract some attention.
Google is also expected to showcase some tablets running on Chrome OS. ICYMI, Acer has already launched the first Chromebook Tab 10, the world's first tablet running Chrome OS (seen above). So, we won't be surprised to see a wave of tablets being shown off at the event, along with more info about detachables coming to Chrome OS.
Fuchsia OS?
Google's long-rumored Fuchsia OS, Google's homegrown OS alongside Android and Chrome, is expected to make some sort of appearance as well. Of course this is purely speculative, however, it'll be interesting to see if Google will speak more about this OS that is said to combine Chrome and Android. But since Fuchsia raises more questions than it answers, it's probably fair to assume that we won't see an official announcement, but there could be hints dropped in other developer sessions at I/O.
With that being said, the most important and probably the most interesting thing to watch will the opening keynote itself. It is scheduled for May 8, and we'll be covering all the major announcements from the keynote as it unfolds.

Solar energy is an inexhaustible and easily used resource for DHW production and heating. It preserves the environment and delivers significant energy savings.
The Fiorini range of thermal solar systems is divided into complete solar kits, Aquasun and Combisun, and individual components for solar power systems.
The Aquasun solar kits are used to produce domestic hot water whilst the Combisun solar kits produce DHW and supplement heating. Both solutions can be sized and built on the basis of the envisaged usage demand.
To create a tailored solar power system, Fiorini can supply the individual components such as: solar panels, pump units, solar control units and accessories.
Fiorini solar power systems produce DHW and heat by using the sun's energy.
By installing numerous solar panels on a roof, a pump unit and a tank, you can create a complete solar power system. The solar panels absorb solar energy, the pump unit circulates the fluid, the tank handles the heat exchange between the heated fluid and the domestic water supply.
The sun heats the fluid in the solar panels. With the pump unit, the heated fluid reaches the tank and heats the water flowing through the coil which performs the exchanger function.
The heated water is now available for domestic use or heating.

The Raider Review
Black Panther Dominates at the Box Office
Image Courtesy of Marvel
Natalie Valiente, Staff Writer
Black Panther, the movie we all have been waiting for was released on February 16, 2018. Selling at a record- breaking $200 million dollars in box offices – just for it's three day weekend debut – was rated 7.9 out of 10 on IMDb and earned a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Many viewers highly anticipated the release date due to the fact that the cast was composed of primarily African Americans and people of color, something Marvel is hoping to expand on. Some of the main actors were Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, and Lupita Nyong'o.
*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*
The story begins following the event in Captain America: Civil War where king T'Chaka was killed leaving his son, T'Challa, as well as his superhero alter ego, Black Panther, to the throne. T'Challa returns to Wakanda, an incredibly advanced a country isolated from the rest of the world, to be crowned king. Wakanda is also home to Vibranium, a rare ore that is used for most of the country's technology and weapons. Back in the United States, Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) works with Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) to steal Vibranium which they intend to sell. In a turn of events Erik kills Klaue, flies to Wakanda, and challenges King T'Challa to the throne, revealing that he is in fact entitled to the crown since his father was King T'Chaka's brother. Now King T'Challa has to protect his country and regain the throne
Senior Jaylen Mathews said he bought tickets the week before because he "knew that seats were going to to go fast." After watching the movie he says it was "worth the wait." Junior Olivia Hubbard said that it was "about time a diverse cast is featured in a superhero movie." She also mentioned going to watch the movie a second time.
In my opinion, Black Panther was another great Marvel movie. It was interesting to see a main character who wasn't white. It was definitely action-packed and filled with complex conflicts within many characters. After staying for the post credits, I am excited to see how Black Panther will connect with Avengers: Infinity War in May. The movie is worth the watch.

Formulation and Development
The ADAIR formulation was developed in close collaboration with Lonza®, an international formulation and commercial drug manufacturing expert.


The handling of the edges within a landscape painting can be subconsciously intimidating to an artist, which can have a subsequent effect on how product is applied. When the elements that make up the subject matter of a scene are visually recognized, we intellectually understand that they are separated from one another—that there is space between them, even though they may overlap; unless, of course, they are composed of flat objects next to, or on top off, each other, like pieces of paper.
My pastel landscape painting, Morning Impressions (12 x 9), was started with a detailed pencil drawing. I followed that with a wet serendipitous watercolor underpainting, applied without fear of going over edges. Finally, I applied pastel in bits and pieces for resolution.
The human desire to communicate has brought about language and ultimately symbolic marks that represent words. When these marks are properly arranged, they communicate the intentions of the author. Drawing shares a similar notion. The artist's use of line to symbolize a shape is his or her calligraphy. It's amazing how a few marks on a surface can be identifiable to a viewer. It's important, though, for the representational painter to remember that value (the representation of light and dark) and color are also present in every scene. Line is a useful tool and one that can be accentuated for stylistic purposes, but it is the one thing we use as artists that does not exist in nature. Even a power line, draped between two poles, will appear and disappear, depending on what it is next to. It is the contrast of surrounding shapes that creates the appearance of things. A useful exercise to practice this is to focus on the negative spaces (shapes) surrounding things. This breaks the obsession with identifying things and ultimately produces a more realistic portrayal of the scene.
Make It, Break It: Childhood coloring books may have been delightful to play with but they also instilled a notion that we have to stay within the lines. Breaking free from this impulse is hard. If we go outside of the lines, we may lose what it is. One way I have overcome this is to nurture the need for control by very accurately drawing the subject matter onto my painting surface. Once I have, I let go of it by smearing pastel or wet mixed-media across the drawing. This serendipitous underpainting sets the stage for the bits and pieces of additional pastel. It is the old painting mantra: Make it, break it, and then make it again.
Stop Being So Edgy: Once we become aware of edge intimidation, it seems that it should be relatively easy to overcome. But knowing it happens and attempting to alter how our hand responds when painting doesn't always arrest the situation. In actuality, edge intimidation is so deeply ingrained, it is one of the hardest obstacles for painters to overcome. By focusing in the beginning of a landscape painting on the negative spaces, instead of outlines, and allowing elements to smear together instead of being harshly outlined, you will break free of your edgy habits. Maybe an old painting dog can learn new tricks!

An inconsistent, struggling global economy has caused many businesses throughout the world the put off growth for the time being, however, firms throughout Canada are still looking to seek out potential funding opportunities, according to recent data compiled by the Business Development Bank of Canada.
Recent BDC statistics showed that during the fiscal year 2012, its clients borrowed a total of $3.8 billion in loans and subordinate financing. By working to secure funding, expansion is clearly on the minds of many small businesses in Canada. Researching Toronto storage solutions is one of the considerations business owners undertake in the city as they look to add more inventory.
"BDC clients have shown resilience through difficult economic times and, as a whole, improved their financial positions," said Jean-René Halde, president and CEO of the BDC. "The fundamental good news is that our clients, the entrepreneurs who are creating and growing businesses in Canada, are doing well."
Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy throughout the world, and by opening up funding opportunities for them, the BDC is hoping to stimulate more growth.

Robert John Page (Llwynypia, 1974. szeptember 3. –) walesi válogatott labdarúgó, edző.

Pályafutása

Klubcsapatokban
1993-ban került a Watford felnőtt keretébe saját nevelésű játékosként. Kenny Jackett menedzser irányítása alatt alapemberré nőtte ki magát a klubban, majd az 1997–98-as szezonban Graham Taylor vezetőedzővel megnyerték a másodosztályt. 1999–2000-es szezonban megválasztották a klub legjobb játékosává. 2001 augusztusában kölcsönbe került a Sheffield United, majd a következő hónapban végleg szerződtették. 2004 júliusában ingyen igazolt a Cardiff City csapatába.  Lennie Lawrence irányítása alatt többnyire csak a kispadon kapott lehetőséget. 2005 februárjában a Coventry City szerződtette. Nem sokkal később térdsérülést szenvedett. A 2005–06-os szezont követően csípőműtéten esett át. 2006 szeptemberében meghosszabbította a szerződését a klubbal, majd novemberben csapatkapitánnyá nevezték ki. 2008 januárjában a Huddersfield Town igazolta le. 2008 májusában a Chesterfieldhez írt alá. 2009 júliusában játékos-edzői ajánlatot kapott a Port Vale csapatától, de ezt nem fogadta el. 2011 márciusában visszavonult.

A válogatottban
41 alkalommal képviselte felnőtt szinten a válogatottat és ebből egyszer, mint csapatkapitány. 2006 szeptemberében jelentette be visszavonulását a válogatottól.

Menedzserként
2011 júliusában elfogadta a Port Vale ajánlatát és az ifjúsági részlegen kezdett el munkába állni. 2012 májusában az első csapat edzői stábjából Geoff Horsfield visszavonult és őt léptették a helyére. Többször is felvetődött a neve a Wimbledon és a Sheffield United menedzsereként. 2013. szeptember 22-én ideiglenesen őt nevezték ki a Port Vale menedzserének. Első mérkőzésén a Tranmere Rovers ellen 1–0-ra nyert a csapata. 2014 júliusában végleges kinevezést kapott.

2016. május 19-én a Northampton Town három évre szerződtette. Első hat mérkőzésén veretlenek lettek és a hónap menedzserének is megválasztották. 2017 január elején menesztették. Ugyanebben a hónapban csatlakozott a Nottingham Forest edzői stábjához. Március 15-én kinevezték a walesi ifjúsági válogatottak élére és négy évre írt alá. 2019 augusztusában a felnőtt válogatottnál nevezték ki Ryan Giggs segédedzőjének.

2020. november 3-án Giggset felfüggesztették, családi erőszak vádjával vették őrizetbe és ideiglenesen ő vette át a válogatott irányítását. Az Amerikai Egyesült Államok elleni 0–0-ra végződő barátságos mérkőzésen debütált, majd az UEFA Nemzetek Ligájában Írország és Finnország ellen megnyert mérkőzéseket követően feljutottak a B ligából. 2021 áprilisában Giggset még mindig nem mentették fel, így megerősítették, hogy az elhalasztott 2020-as labdarúgó-Európa-bajnokságon Page fog irányítani. Az A csoportban a második helyen végeztek és továbbjutottak. Az egyenes kieséses szakaszban Dánia ellen 4–0-ra kikaptak és kiestek.

A 2022-es labdarúgó-világbajnokság-selejtezőjében az E csoportban a második helyen végeztek, ami azt jelentette, hogy pótselejtezőn kellett részt venniük. Ausztriát 2–1-re, míg Ukrajnát 1–0-ra győzték le, így kvalifikálták magukat 1958 után másodszor. 2022 szeptemberáben Giggs lemondott és őt nevezték ki ténylegesen szövetségi kapitánynak. Négy évre írt alá. A 2022-es labdarúgó-világbajnokságon a B csoport utolsó helyén végeztek egy ponttal.

Nike enjoyed broad-based currency-neutral growth in all its geographic segments except emerging markets.
Nike (NYSE:NKE) reported results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 after the market close Thursday. The sports apparel titan's revenue and earnings came in above Wall Street's expectations.
Nike's revenue rose 5%, to $7.8 billion, slightly above consensus estimates of $7.69 billion. On a currency-neutral basis, Nike's sales growth was a more impressive 13%. Helping to fuel that growth was a currency-neutral 13% increase in Nike brand revenue, to $7.4 billion, and a 14% jump in Converse revenue, to $435 million.
Nike enjoyed broad-based currency-neutral growth in all its geographic segments except emerging markets, which fell 3%, including double-digit growth in North America (14%), Western Europe (17%), Central & Eastern Europe (20%), Greater China (20%), and Japan (19%).
Higher average selling prices and strong growth in Nike's higher-margin Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) business benefited gross margin, which rose 60 basis points, to 46.2%. That improved profitability, combined with a lower effective tax rate, led to a 24% surge in net income, to $865 million, with share buybacks helping Nike's EPS rise 26%, to $0.98 -- well above analysts' estimates of $0.83.
The 2015 full-year results were equally impressive. Fiscal 2015 revenues rose 10%, to $30.6 billion, and 14% excluding currency changes. Nike's DTC business continues to be a bright spot, with DTC revenues leaping 29% on a currency-neutral basis, to $6.6 billion, driven by new store openings, 16% comparable-store sales growth, and a 59% surge in online sales.
Higher gross margin and lower taxes also benefited full-year results. All told, fiscal 2015 earnings per share rose an impressive 25%, to $3.70.
Nike's worldwide futures orders scheduled for delivery through November 2015 totaled $13.5 billion. That represents year-over-year growth of 2%, and 13% on a currency-neutral basis.
"Fiscal 2015 was an outstanding year for NIKE," added CEO Mark Parker. "Our consistent growth is fueled by our connection to the consumer and our ability to deliver innovation at an unprecedented pace and scale. At no time in our history has the growth potential been greater for NIKE."
With a brand as strong as Nike's, and so many growth opportunities still ahead, it's easy to see why Nike's management is so optimistic.

Jake's Story
Whitney's Story
Why Coaching
We Are... Living By Design
Committing is the only path to success.
Jake met Whitney while she was in the midst of her fight to improve her life and immediately fell in love with her willingness to embrace discomfort as the fuel for growth. He had been divorced a few years before and was in the process of rediscovering himself and his passion for life. Inspired by Whitney's success finding freedom from anxiety, fear, and self-doubt, Jake decided to put his 20 years of teaching experience to work so that others could end their suffering as well. A lifetime of team sports, rock climbing, surfing, backpacking, and fitness combined with a mastery of distilling complicated situations into simple concepts makes Jake uniquely qualified to coach people through tough life changes.
""Jake is one of those people you want around when things get tough. He has an ability to take an overwhelming situation (or a very big mountain) and make it manageable and even fun. He taught me that anything is possible if you just start taking steps forward. Instead of sitting and thinking about how difficult the task is, if you just keep moving, you will be that much closer to success. Jake's words to simply "put a little trail behind you" have helped me get through some long miles in the mountains and in my life. He is truly an inspiration and one of a kind."
— Monica: Redondo Beach, CA
Jake was a Division I athlete at Loyola Marymount University until 1997 and has been in love with coaching ever since. His mind makes valuable connections between training for sports and training for life – he believes that, "Knowledge, commitment, and reps are the key no matter what you're training for." Jake lives this stuff – he strives to live life right and he has learned a quite a bit along the way. He has earned teaching credentials in both California in addition to his Life Coach Certification (Expert Level), but his experience learning to live life courageously is what he loves to share most of all.
""…Perhaps most importantly, Jake has taught me to take opportunities to be bold and adventurous, and also to retreat and reflect on what God is doing and what He is speaking into my life - because of that, I trust Jake with the tough things of life.""
— Ryan: Troy, TX
Jake has climbed 14,000 foot peaks, surfed 11 foot waves in Australia, won collegiate volleyball tournaments, and competed at the highest level of beach volleyball, but if you ask him, he will tell you that his greatest achievement is that he put himself in a position to show up for the love of his life and now pushes himself to thrive in his marriage. He is grateful everyday and his passion is to help others be able to show up the same way in their own lives!
""I couldn't believe it. I knew he had been divorced a few years back, but he showed no signs of being jaded or hindered emotionally. That is extremely attractive.""
— Whintey (His Wife)

Poetry at Columbia College Chicago in 2006. He was a John Woods Scholar at Western Michigan University's Prague Summer Program, and his work has been nominated for multiple Pushcarts. His poems have appeared in journals such as Gulf Coast, Fourteen Hills, Hayden's Ferry, Hunger Mountain, Linebreak, Prairie Schooner,and Nashville Review.He and his wife Lynn live in Annapolis, Maryland, with their son, Robin.

The irony of the title of this book, Hearsay, is that Christopher Ankney's poems are deeply rooted in the mysteries and pain of firsthand experience. The specter of the absent father haunts this work, as it did the poet's childhood, and makes clear for us the consequence of such a loss: "the disappeared make us doubt what we are." Art is Ankney's journey through the dark, so to speak, his passage to reconciliation, self-worth. It took bravery and determination to write these poems. I felt, by the end, that his hard lessons were also my own.
Christopher Ankney's poems burn with lyrical longing. In language precise yet sinuous, he remembers a father lost to water and a childhood in Ohio. He remembers how death tethers us to life, how life tethers us to love and to family. Tight and melodic, his lines braid tenderness and hurt but they also pulsate with ravishing images: 'the fiery glitter/of the river's midnight-blue road.' Reminiscent of Jack Gilbert and late James Wright, Ankney's poems grant readers the gift of proximity to longing and to endurance. It's a riveting debut.

Byzantine Coins Found during the Excavations at Perge
Oğuz Tekin, Istanbul University, Summer Fellow 2006
The ancient city of Perge in Pamphylia is situated approximately fifteen kilometers to the east of Antalya. Excavations and surveys at Perge first began in 1946 and, except for some short interruptions, have continued up to the present day. The total number of coins found in the 60 year excavation period is about 3000, approximately one-third of them Byzantine. Since much of the excavated area is Roman and early Byzantine in date, so the majority of coins found are naturally Roman and Early Byzantine.
As a summer fellow, I carried out library research at Dumbarton Oaks, using primarily the volumes of the Catalogue of the Byzantine Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection, as well as the catalogue of Byzantine coins in the Bibliothèque Nationale. I was able to make identifications of some problematic coins and complete the most important part of my catalogue. As a result of my research, some conclusions can be formulated about the Byzantine coins found at Perge. All the Byzantine coins from Perge (about 1000) are bronze, and most of them are folles. No gold and silver Byzantine coins were found. The major mints for Perge are Constantinople and Antioch. Most of the Byzantine coins found during the excavations are dated between the early sixh century AD and the first quarter of the seventh century AD, i.e., covering a total period of one hundred years. So they extend from the reign of Justin Ⅰ (518–527) to Heraclius (610–641) without interruption. After a long break, coins start to reappear from the tenth century, i.e., anonymous folles (mostly classes A2, B, C, and D). Thus, the Byzantine coins found at Perge form two separate chronological groups; the first group of coins belongs to the successive reigns of seven Byzantine emperors: Justin Ⅰ, Justinian Ⅰ, Justin Ⅱ, Tiberius Ⅱ, Maurice Tiberius, Phocas, and Heraclius. The second group of coins belongs to the tenth–eleventh centuries (anonymous folles). So there is a period of nearly 300 years for which no Byzantine coins were found in the excavations. One may thus conclude that there was no circulation of Byzantine coins in the region between the second half of the seventh century and the tenth century.


WASHINGTON - The Pentagon said late Monday, airstrikes against ISIS targets have begun.
"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time. The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief."
President Obama promised action against ISIS in a national address two weeks ago.

P2P traffic on the wane
By Marc Chacksfield 2008-09-03T11:50:00.246Z
But it still accounts for 25% of internet traffic
iPlayer stemming the flow of P2P traffic
New statistics by British internet service provider PlusNet shows that peer-to-peer traffic on the internet is dropping.
While P2P traffic takes up 25.9 per cent of all internet traffic whizzing through ISP PlusNet, this is down from last year.
PlusNet has revealed that while last year the total amount of P2P info was 13.4TB a day last year it has been lowered to 12.2TB a day this year.
Less filesharing
PlusNet thinks that it may not just be justice being served to people using P2P networks illegally, but because of the influx of streaming video on the web.
"It may be that services like iPlayer and 4OD are turning customers away from P2P downloads," said Dave Tomlinson of PlusNet back in June.
"Or it could be stories like the filesharing letters or the proposed three strikes policy that is changing peoples' thinking."
Video streaming in the UK now accounts for 6.6 per cent of PlusNet's traffic, with the likes of BBC's iPlayer driving this traffic.
This figured was boosted even more recently with the Olympics, where PlusNet saw another surge in video streaming.

Prada's Popular Nylon Bags To Be Made Using Only Yarns From Recycled Plastic Waste(Forbes)
The article first appeared on the Forbes.
Luxury fashion brand Prada has announced a brand new sustainability initiative: All of its popular nylon products will now made using ECONYL, a regenerated nylon fabric that's obtained through "the recycling and purification process of plastic waste collected from oceans, fishing nets, and textile fibre waste," taking effect in 2021. The announcement is the result of a partnership between the Italian company and the textile yarn producer Aquafil.
As part of the new initiative, Prada has released a new capsule collection called Re-Nylon, a line of classic bags and accessories made using ECONYL. The Prada Re-Nylon range is made up of six styles for men and women, including a belt bag, shoulder bag, tote bag, duffle and two backpacks. A percentage of proceeds from the capsule will be donated to an undisclosed project related to environmental sustainability, according to the company.
"I'm very excited to announce the launch of the Prada Re-Nylon collection. Our ultimate goal will be to convert all Prada virgin nylon into Re-Nylon by the end of 2021," said Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group's head of marketing and communications in a statement. "This project highlights our continued efforts towards promoting a responsible business. This collection will allow us to make our contribution and create products without using new resources."
Miuccia Prada's signature use of the black Pocone nylon fabric that she introduced in the 1980s with her best-selling backpacks and accessories became the precursor to her successful ready-to-wear line of nylon jackets, dresses and skirts that debuted on the runway in 1994. Soon afterward, the Italian designer launched Linea Rossa (or Prada Sport), a collection of athletic-infused functional gear and apparel, many of which were rendered in that technical nylon material. Prada was very much ahead of her time, as the activewear-meets-luxury concept that's pervading fashion today continues to flourish.

Германско-молдавские отношения — двусторонние дипломатические отношения между Германией и Молдавией.

История
С 1814 по 1940 год так называемые бессарабские немцы жили на территориях современной Украины и Молдавии.

14 декабря 1991 года Германия стала одной из первых стран, признавшей независимость Молдавии. 30 апреля 1992 года были установлены дипломатические отношения между Молдавией и Германией. Германия открыла посольство в Кишинёве 2 ноября 1992 года, а Молдавия открыла посольство в Бонне 28 марта 1995 года.

В мае 2006 года президент Молдавии Владимир Воронин посетил Германию, где провёл переговоры с федеральным канцлером Германии Ангелой Меркель. Ангела Меркель на встрече заявила, что Германия заинтересована в мирном и более быстром урегулировании Приднестровском конфликте при участии Европейского союза, а также добавила, что экономический аспект двустороннего германско-молдавского сотрудничества имеет огромный потенциал. В октябре 2006 года председатель Бундестага Норберт Ламмерт посетил с официальным визитом Республику Молдова.

26 июня 2008 года Бундестаг, путём голосования большинства депутатов, поддержал заявку Молдавии на вступление в Европейский союз.

Гидо Вестервелле посетил Молдову в июне 2010 года в качестве первого министра иностранных дел Германии. Канцлер совершила первый визит в Молдову 22 августа 2012 года и встретилась с премьер-министром Молдовы Владимиром Филатом в Кишинёве.

Экономические отношения
Германия является одним из важнейших торговых партнеров Молдавии. В 2017 году Германия стала четвертым по величине импортёром молдавских товаров и пятым по величине экспортером товаров в эту страну. Германские компании осуществляют крупные прямые иностранные инвестиции в Молдавию, в частности, в автомобильную промышленность.

Дипломатические представительства
У Германии имеется посольство в Кишинёве. Молдавия имеет посольство в Берлине, генеральное консульство во Франкфурте-на-Майне, а также почётное консульство в Гамбурге.
