Rihanna Reveals How She Created A $1.7 billion Fortune—And Became The World's Richest Female Musician (EXCLUSIVE)
"Work, work, work, work, work, work."
That's the opening line of Rihanna's 2016 dance hall anthem titled, appropriately, Work. It could also serve as her personal motto. Famous first as a singer, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, 31, has since evolved into a style icon and makeup entrepreneur—and soon she'll be the first black woman in charge of a major luxury fashion house.
All those efforts add up to a $600 million fortune, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world, ahead of the likes of Madonna ($570 million), Céline Dion ($450 million) and Beyoncé ($400 million). Most of that comes not from music but from her partnership with LVMH, the French luxury goods giant run by billionaire Bernard Arnault.
Rihanna (pronounced "Ri-ann-ah," not "Ri-ah-nah," as she recently clarified) and LVMH co-own the makeup brand Fenty Beauty. It launched in September 2017 at Sephora, another LVMH brand, and online at FentyBeauty.com, quickly becoming a viral success. Fenty Beauty racked up a reported $100 million in sales in its first few weeks, propelled by Rihanna's fame and 71 million Instagram followers.
The entire personal care industry in America has grown huge in recent years. According to Grand View Research, it could swell to more than $200 billion in sales by 2025, up from closer to $130 billion in 2016. The market saw a record 134 M&A deals last year, including P&G's $250 million purchase of 10-year-old First Aid Beauty. Perhaps the most telling data point:
11 of the 80 women on Forbes' list of the Richest Self-Made Women made their money in beauty or skin care products. Many did what Rihanna did, turn to the low-cost marketing opportunity presented by social media. That works best for existing celebrities, as Kylie Jenner and her Kylie Cosmetics proved out, who can push their new products at their existing followers.

To make a healthy smoothie, use low fat milk or yogurt. Use the whole fruit to get the most benefit from the fiber. Remove the peel only if necessary, such as when using oranges, watermelon, papaya, mangoes, bananas and the like.... Set up your kitchen for making the best smoothies—from choosing the right blender to stocking your kitchen with healthy ingredients for homemade smoothies. Smoothies are refreshing and delicious. And most of the time, they're also super-healthy.
The size of your blender, the components as well as the amount of smoothie you want to make will determine how much water you will use. Mangos, bananas, etc. tend to make smoothies thicker while melons, which already contain water, will add moisture to your smoothie to make the blend uniform.
Although most of us can make a perfectly drinkable smoothie and might think it's a matter of switching on the blender, making a healthy one and an interesting balance is something that a method like this can help you hone your skills. I think it is too easy to fall into a sameness (and then get bored and stop trying to make smoothies part of your routine), so this was a good exercise.


This feature would be really nice in Thunderbird mail searches!
I think FTS4 is better for search, as you can do stemming, don't want substring matches and don't care about regular expression.
Anyways, FTS4 module can search using only a prefix of the keyword, ie. key*, matches both keys and keyword. So inserting a * where the cursor is located, and incremental search with FTS4 would make sense.
I'm not familiar with the code base, and/or current search speed in thunderbird, so performance could still be an issue.

Something Worth Sharing: Evangelism Reclaimed
"Most Episcopalians think they don't like evangelism," says the Rev. Whitney Rice, associate rector of St. Francis In-the-Fields in Zionsville. "And that's because their image of evangelism is coercive, exploitative: 'Bible-thumpers' and televangelists.
"And no wonder they shy away from that," she says. "Shying away from that is actually a really good spiritual instinct. And so, we're trying to teach that evangelism is not what you think it is. All of those negative exploitative coercive practices are Christian malpractice, and not evangelism. Evangelism with integrity is about spiritual intimacy, it's about going to the deep places of life with one another and sharing what God is doing in our lives in those places."

In early 2018, Rice and Brendan O'Sullivan-Hale, the diocese's canon to the ordinary for administration and evangelism, were awarded a $4,700 evangelism grant from the Episcopal Church for a project that will "comprehensively reimagine evangelism" in the diocese.
Local evangelism efforts received another boost when 12 members of the diocese, representing four parishes, attended Evangelism Matters: The Episcopal Evangelism Conference, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
"It is so nice to know that, as a diocese, we are building a nucleus of diocesan leaders who are invested in this work of evangelism," says the Rev. Julia Whitworth, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Indianapolis, who attended the conference. "That's powerful. We have good news in this diocese – and part of that is our awesome new bishop — and I'm pleased that we're taking that seriously."
Rice, who is offering a teaching series for lay and clergy leaders across the diocese called "Evangelism with Integrity," was happy to find people from across the church grappling with the same issues that she and her colleagues are facing in Indianapolis. "I found a lot of similar themes were rising to the top," she says. "That was really encouraging, because for me, it feels like the Episcopal Church is finding a way to do evangelism that's true to our identity and our culture, while still being a little risky and brave enough to go a little further than we have before." The first "Evangelism with Integrity" workshop took place at Trinity Episcopal Church in Bloomington on May 9, with approximately 30 priests and deacons in attendance. Sessions for lay and clergy teams will be held around the diocese in the summer and fall.
In Cleveland Heights, Rice attended a workshop called, "Creating Third Spaces as Evangelistic Hubs." "It was about turning the model of hospitality and welcoming on its head a little bit, because hospitality and welcoming still places the inviter in a place of power," she says. "We discussed approaching evangelism less as 'Come in here and let us talk to you' and more as 'Go out there and be with people and take risks,'" she says. "It was about getting less attached to our buildings, our familiar spaces, our familiar liturgies, our familiar everything, and asking ourselves, 'What is God doing outside of what we already know?' That's really important, and it's hard for anybody, and hard for Episcopalians."
One theme that recurred frequently at the conference was the link between evangelism and discipleship. Workshop leaders said that helping Episcopalians to grow in their faith is essential in helping them to articulate that faith. The conference offered practical ideas for this kind of work that could be taken home and, in some cases, put to use immediately.
Leigh Ann Naas, a lay leader from Trinity, Indianapolis was driving home from the conference with Whitworth, her rector, when they learned that the speaker scheduled for their Sunday adult forum couldn't make it. "So, we thought, 'Well, why don't we share what we learned?'" Naas says. "So we used the 'share your story model' that was presented during the Evangelism 101 training session."
The exercise Naas and Whitworth used is called "Welcome to the Feast," and starts by breaking the audience into pairs and asking them to share stories of memorable meals. This leads to deeper conversation about what is important to each person, and where they see God at work in these stories.
"It went really well," Naas says. "We encouraged people to pair with those they didn't know that well, so there were great little one-on-one conversations happening throughout our parish hall. And then we got done at 12:15, but many people stayed in their one-on-one conversation and continued chatting. No one was in a hurry to leave."
Whitworth soon carried out a similar storytelling approach during a meeting with adult and youth confirmands. She asked each person to tell a story about something beautiful they encountered in the previous week. "And the most incredible stories came up," Naas says. "I ended up using the same approach in my discipleship small group that Monday. It is sometimes hard to say, 'How has God been active in your life this week?' But when you hear a story about something beautiful that happened, and you can respond by saying, 'I see God in that'—that becomes an easier entry into that conversation."
The Rev. Suzanne Wille, rector of All Saints in Indianapolis, also put lessons from the conference to use right away. "I attended a workshop called 'Knowing Our Story, So We Can Tell Our Story: Scripture Engagement in Your Congregation,'" Wille says.
During this workshop, the Rev. Scott Gunn, executive director of Forward Movement, led a simple Bible study. Together, the group read a passage, summarized it, and then answered the questions, "What sticks out to you? And what questions do you have?" Gunn then asked, "Where do you see yourself in the story?"
The exercise took about 10 minutes and, as opposed to using the lectionary, Gunn suggested reading through a book of the Bible. "That way, there's a sense of the arc of the whole — not just little bits and pieces," Wille says. "That was a great session, and I immediately started that practice on Monday at my vestry meeting. I said, 'We're doing this, and after Easter we're going to read Acts together. However long it takes us, we will read the entire book of Acts as a vestry, because if you don't place yourself in the story, you don't have much to share.' And they loved it!"
Some attendees said the conference was evidence of a shift in the Episcopal Church's sense of itself. "We in the Episcopal Church have something that's really worth sharing, and we believe in Jesus, we love Jesus and now, we're going to talk about Jesus," Wille says. "That feels major to me.
"There was a woman sitting next to me during one session, and she said she felt like she was being 'unshackled' by this conference. I said, 'Wow, that's really strong language. What do you mean?' And she said, 'It just felt like for years, we just weren't allowed to talk about Jesus.' What does that say about us? That we didn't want to talk about Jesus for all these years?"
Rice, too, felt something significant happened in Cleveland Heights. "During the conference, we talked about how the words 'evangelism' and 'angel' share the same Greek root, and how the first thing angels or messengers say is 'Do not be afraid,'" she says. "I felt like I was watching people lose fear. Their fear was being reduced. And I thought, 'That is evangelism itself. Any practice or encounter or interaction that we do or participate in that reduces fear, that's evangelism. And I felt like the whole conference did that. I saw people getting more confident. And I thought, 'This is so much what I want for our clergy and lay leaders in this diocese.'"

Die Münsterland war ein Ende 1960 in Dienst gestelltes deutsches Frachtschiff der HAPAG-Reederei, das zusammen mit anderen Schiffen von 1967 bis 1975 im Großen Bittersee im Sueskanal festsaß.

Geschichte
Die Münsterland wurde von 1959 bis 1960 als Frachtmotorschiff auf der Deutschen Werft in Hamburg-Finkenwerder gebaut. Am 7. Januar 1961 trat das zur Saarland-Klasse zählende Schiff seine Jungfernreise im Australiendienst an, auf dem es auch sieben Jahre später noch eingesetzt war.

Am 5. Juni 1967 fuhr die Münsterland unter Kapitän Karl Hoffmann in einem Konvoi von 14 Frachtschiffen von Port Taufiq bei Sues kommend den Sueskanal nordwärts, als der Sechstagekrieg ausbrach. Die Schiffe gingen im Großen Bittersee, der breitesten Stelle im Kanal, vor Anker. Da in der Folge der Kanal durch absichtliche Schiffsversenkungen blockiert wurde, lagen die Schiffe auf unbestimmte Zeit fest.

Die wegen des allgegenwärtigen Staubs als Gelbe Flotte bezeichneten Schiffe wurden nicht in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, obwohl sie zeitweise im Kampfgebiet lagen. Ein Teil der Mannschaften konnte nach einigen Wochen die Schiffe verlassen, der Rest wurde regelmäßig ausgetauscht. Auf den Schiffen und zwischen den Besatzungen entwickelte sich ein ausgeprägtes Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl. Im Herbst 1967 wurde von den Besatzungen der Schiffe auf der Melampus die "Great Bitter Lake Association" gegründet, eine Vereinigung mit dem Ziel der Förderung der Freundschaft und der gegenseitigen Hilfe.

Zur Kostenreduktion wurden die Schiffe ab 1969 in Gruppen (MüWiNiKiEs, LedMelAga und DjaBiPorSt) zusammengefasst, die jeweils von einer einzigen Besatzung von etwa zehn Mann betreut wurden. Zur Gruppe der Münsterland zählten neben der deutschen Nordwind noch ein französisches und zwei schwedische Schiffe. In dieser Zeit entstand eine Reihe von handgemalten Briefmarken mit den Gruppennamen der Schiffe, welche von der ägyptischen Post anerkannt wurden. Die so freigemachten Briefe stellen gesuchte Sammlerstücke dar. Während der achtjährigen Liegezeit in den Bitterseen brach 1973 der Jom-Kippur-Krieg aus, in dessen Verlauf der etwas abseits ankernde amerikanische Frachter African Glen von israelischen Kampfjets versenkt wurde, da er von ägyptischen Soldaten als Beobachtungsposten genutzt wurde.

Über die Jahre hielt die Rumpfmannschaft das Schiff soweit in Stand, dass die Münsterland bei der Wiedereröffnung des Kanals am 7. Mai 1975 aus eigener Kraft den Suezkanal verlassen konnte. Die Münsterland kam am 24. Mai 1975 nach sieben Jahren, 11 Monaten und 2 Tagen unter großer öffentlicher Anteilnahme in Hamburg an. Sie wurde überholt und weiter im Ostasiendienst eingesetzt.

Das Schiff wurde am  21. Juni 1978 nach Griechenland verkauft und unter dem Namen Münsterlandes weiter betrieben. Nachdem es am 2. Januar 1983 in Trincomalee aufgelegt wurde, wurde es am 17. November im Schlepp nach Kaohsiung, Taiwan, transportiert. Im Dezember 1983 wurde es in die Volksrepublik China nach Fuzhou, Provinz Fujian, geschleppt und ab März 1984 abgewrackt.

Rezeption
Im Mai 2020 führte das Zenith-Magazin ein Interview mit Jürgen Katzler, der von Juni bis Dezember 1969 Kapitän auf der Münsterland war. Er beschrieb, dass die Besatzungen den Krieg zwischen Ägypten und Israel direkt miterlebt hatten und Luftkämpfe über den Schiffen stattfanden. Er beschrieb den Aufenthalt als einen internationalen "Verbund der Kameradschaft" und erzählte von Fußballspielen an Bord und allwöchentlichen Segelregatten.

Chinese High Speed Rail Leapfrog Development
Publication: China Brief Volume: 14 Issue: 13
By: Clark Edward Barrett

CHR3 trains under construction at Tangshan factory (Source: Railway Gazette)
Since serious Chinese planning of high-speed rail (HSR) networks began in the 1990s under the guidance of the Ministry of Railways (MoR), rail planners have sought to create independently trademarkable Chinese brands capable of competing in global markets in addition to confronting domestic transport inefficiencies and improving air pollution. This success of this effort to absorb foreign technology has implications for world railway markets, but also serves a case study of China's approach to technology acquisition.
Previous Chinese participation in the world HSR market was limited due to the inferiority of its technology relative to established Western and Japanese manufacturers despite lower labor and resource costs and favorable government financing. However, China appears to have pursued a "technology for market access" strategy to enhance the global competitiveness of domestic HSR companies. These policies and the modus operandi of the Chinese government are explicitly stated in official documents and state media which detail the use of technology transfer agreements as a key component in realizing technology development goals.
Poorly formulated technology transfer agreements may constitute more of a threat to the competitiveness of Western enterprises (particularly ones reliant on high-technology which consume significant amounts of capital and resources in research and development) than that from Chinese cyber economic espionage. The latter is primarily associated with obtaining knowledge such as patents and technical schematics, whereas the former often involves training the receiving party in how to skillfully exploit the knowledge. This not only potentially accelerates rival product development but also reduces financial and time costs of process optimization.
Chinese train-makers and civil engineering companies are now building, participating in or contemplating bidding for HSR construction projects in South America, the US, Saudi Arabia and Russia. In October 2013, State council premier Li Keqiang signed a railway cooperation memorandum of understanding with Thailand, followed by an exhibition of Chinese railway manufactures in Romania in November 2013 attended by 16 leaders from Eastern Europe (Xinhua, May 8). China is also involved in HSR construction in a Turkish project worth $1.27 billion (People's Daily, January 18) and has signed $3.1 billion worth of deals with Nigeria (Xinhua, May 8). The greatest market potential, however, is in Asia. The Asia Development Bank estimates that $8 trillion dollars will be spent on infrastructure in the region up to 2020. To facilitate Chinese domination of this market, China published an initiative to found an Asian infrastructure investment bank which will provide funds and support for ASEAN countries (China Daily, October 28, 2013).
Clear Plans for Technology Export
From the beginning, Chinese media and government sources were explicit that China planned to compete with established train manufactures in their home markets and around the world. In 2006, Xinhua, writing about the locomotive technology introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation project protocol described a 3-stage process: complete analysis of foreign technologies and materials, simulation and testing to assimilate crux technologies, followed by re-innovation to achieve independently manufactured Chinese high-speed rail systems (Xinhua, August 3, 2006).
The development trajectory of Chinese HSR has been guided by the "Mid-to-Long-Term Railway Development Plan," which states that the ultimate rail development goal (in addition to improvements in national infrastructure) is the creation of independently competitive international Chinese HSR brands. Chinese companies would master advanced technologies obtained through technology transfers and re-innovate using national research institutes to enhance the country's domestic manufacturing capacity (Xinhua, April 29, 2007).
The "China High Speed Train United Action Plan Cooperation Agreement" signed between the Ministry of Science (MoS) and the MoR on February 26, 2008 (PRC Science and Technology Ministry, February 27, 2008) specified that both would cooperate to:
Develop key technologies to create a network capable of supporting train speeds of 350 kph and higher.
Establish independent intellectual property rights and improve international competitiveness.
Export technology.
The MoS invested nearly 10 billion RMB ($1.6 billion) in the plan, bringing together 25 universities, 11 research institutes, 51 national laboratories and engineering research centers with participation from the 863 and 973 national high technology research and development programs (Science and Technology Daily, September 6, 2010). The MoR also mobilized universities and colleges, science research centers and manufacturers to work on the "locomotive introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation program" (People's Daily, September 5, 2008).
Chinese HSR Contracts
Despite its plans for global expansion, China has been able to leverage the size of its market to achieve sinification of important foreign technologies through technology transfer agreements. In 2003, when the State Council resolved to build the Beijing-Shanghai line, it found that Chinese companies lacked the capacity to fulfill HSR development objectives. According to MoR spokesman Zhang Shuguang, China might have needed more than a decade to catch up with developed nations due to the cost and difficulty of improving domestic technology (Xinhua, April 29, 2007). Instead, China used the size of its market to demand foreign technology transfer and realize development objectives through digestion, absorption and re-innovation (yinjin xiaohua xishou zai chuangxin) of foreign technology. China would use flexible negotiation tactics, such as inviting simultaneous bids for important equipment from foreign companies allowing China to shop around for the best deal (huo bi san jia).
On June 17, 2004, the MoR launched the first round of bidding for 200 km/h rail technology. The State Council stipulated that the economic benefits of foreign participation must primarily accrue to China and not foreign economies (Xinhua, March 4, 2010) with technology transfer a priority aim to assist China in the development of indigenous designs.
Criteria imposed by the MoR included competitive pricing and that companies awarded contracts be legally registered in the PRC, comprehensively transfer key technology to Chinese enterprises and use a Chinese trademark on the finished product. While foreign partners might provide technical services and training, Chinese companies must ultimately be able to function without the partnership (National Technology and Equipment Network, March 18, 2010). Chinese entities were free to choose foreign partners, but foreign firms were required to pre-bid and sign technology transfer agreements with domestic manufacturers (Xinhua September 4, 2004). The State Council also stipulated that foreign companies must transfer not only existing technology to China, but also subsequent improvements (Xinhua, March 4, 2010).
Alstom (France), Siemens (Germany), Bombardier (Canada) and a Japanese consortium led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries all submitted bids. All had to adapt their HSR train-sets to China's own common standard and assemble units through local joint ventures, or cooperate with Chinese manufacturers under the direction of the MoR (People's Daily, September 5, 2008).
Bombardier, through its joint venture with CSR Sifang won an order for 40 train sets based on its Regina design. These were re-named CRH1A and delivered in 2006 (Bombardier). Alstom, with CNR's Changchun Railway Vehicles, won an order for 60 train-sets designated CRH5, based on the New Pendolino developed by Alstom-Ferroviaria in Italy. Siemens offered the Velaro E to Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd for a "sky-high" price of 350 million RMB ($56 million) per train-set and demanded €390 million ($530 million) for technology transfers. Additionally, Siemens did not respond to as many as 50 items on the tender (Xinhua, March 4, 2010). According to the People's Daily, the elimination of Siemens from the first bidding round (allegedly) led to the collapse of the company's share price and the firing of its negotiating team in China (People's Daily, September 2, 2008). In 2005, Siemens returned to tender for 350 km/h+ train contracts subject to more severe conditions, agreeing to lower its prices and comprehensively transfer technology (Xinhua, March 4, 2010). In November 2005, Siemens reached an agreement with the MoR, entering into joint ventures with Changchun Railway Vehicles and Tangshan Railway Vehicle Co, (both CNR subsidiaries) and was awarded sixty 300 km/h train orders. It supplied the technology for the CRH3C, based on the ICE3 design, to CNR's Tangshan.
Initially Japanese participation in bidding was led by a Nippon-Sharyo consortium, but Hitachi and Nippon-Sharyo refused to sell railway technology. China then opened negotiations with Kawasaki, over the objections of other Japanese companies. At the same time, a Chinese web campaign demanded a boycott of Japanese train manufacturers as a protest over wartime atrocities. Nonetheless, the MoR decided that excluding Japanese companies would weaken competition between bidders (Xinhua, March 4, 2010).
In October 2004, Kawasaki and the MoR signed an export and technology transfer agreement with China ordering 60 high-speed train sets from Kawasaki based on its E2 Series Shinkansen for a total of 9.3 billion RMB ($1.5 billion) (Xinhua, March 4, 2010). The contract provisions also stipulated that a certain number of key technologies would be transferred to China. Kawasaki evidently believed that this technology would be used only in the domestic market. Three of the train sets would be completed in Japan and delivered completed, another six would be handed over and assembled by the Chinese party. A further 51 would be manufactured by Qingdao Sifang with transferred technology. The modified Kawasaki E2 series Shinkansen was renamed the CRH2A. In 2008 (two years into the partnership), CSR ended its cooperation with Kawasaki and began independently building CRH2B, CRH2C and CRH2E models at its Sifang plant and designated the technology for export (Financial Times, July 8, 2010).
Kawasaki accused China's high-speed rail project of patent theft, believing that its agreement with China restricted the export of transferred technology (Japan Daily, April 15, 2013). This claim was denied by the MoR, which countered that re-innovation had made the product distinctively Chinese (China Daily, July 8, 2011). According to CSR president Zhang Chongqing, CSR "made the bold move of forming a systemic development platform for high-speed locomotives and further upgrading its design and manufacturing technology. Later, CSR began to independently develop high-speed CRH trains with a maximum velocity of 350 km/h, which began production in December 2007" (China Pictorial, July 1,2010).
Kawasaki's complaints have been supported by similar statements from Alstrom that Chinese companies are now competing for export contracts using foreign technology. Alstrom's Asia-Pacific managing director claims that: "Around 90 percent of the [HSR] technology the Chinese currently are using is derived from their partnerships or equipment developed by foreign companies" (Financial Times, April 6, 2010).
In a 2011 interview with the Financial Times, Alstrom chief executive Patrick Kron accused Siemens of inadvertently allowing key technical know-how to leak out to Chinese companies through a HSR partnership (Financial Times, October 31, 2011). Kron asserted that Alstom, unlike Siemens or Kawasaki, had been careful not to engage in Chinese joint ventures or collaborations that involved giving up key technology. "You should ask Mr. [Peter] Löscher [Siemens chief executive] whether he is satisfied…I have no problem with the general issue of business partnerships in China, but you have to do this in a pragmatic way. In collaborative ventures it is not mandatory to give away technology."
Not all perceptions of operating in the Chinese market are negative however. Zhang Jianwei, President of Bombardier China, stated that when Bombardier entered the Chinese market (in 1998) it was active in promoting comprehensive, systematic technology transfer: "whatever technology Bombardier has, whatever the China market needs, there is no need to ask. Bombardier transfers advanced and mature technology to China, which we do not treat as an experimental market" (People's Daily, March 16th 2007).
China appears to be practicing a "technology for market access" policy in order to achieve development goals defined by the country's leadership. This tactic is remarkably similar to the "technology for resources" strategy seemingly pursued by China in relation to rare earth resources which was challenged by the EU, US and Japan at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2012. The complainants charged that China's restrictive practices were in violation of its protocol of accession to the WTO and other international agreements, an accusation upheld by the judgment of the dispute settlement panel in March 2014 (WTO, March 26).
Chinese government technology strategy (as exemplified for high speed rail) and favorable financing, combined with domestic labor arbitrage advantages, have led the former deputy governor of the People's Bank of China to predict that China's market share of manufacturing of advanced machinery could climb from 8 percent in 2010 to 30 percent of global exports by 2020 (Wall Street Journal, November 17, 2010). China's method of high-technology development therefore may have serious repercussions for the future competitiveness of innovation-driven economies such as the United States, Japan and the European Union.

Welence wondrous as baseball Redmen double Carabins, extend win streak to five
Tyler Welence of Ridgewood, N.J., continued his torrid pace and collected three hits and as many runs batted in as the McGill men's baseball team doubled the Montreal Carabins 4-2 at Gary Carter Field in Trudeau Park, Wednesday.
Shortstop Tyler Welence had three hits and three RBIs in the baseball Redmen's 4-2 win over the Montreal Carabins.
By Earl Zukerman
Tyler Welence of Ridgewood, N.J., continued his torrid pace and collected three hits and as many runs batted in as the McGill men's baseball team doubled the Montreal Carabins 4-2 at Gary Carter Field in Trudeau Park, Wednesday.
The result extended McGill's unblemished record to five consecutive victories in the Canadian Collegiate Baseball Association.
Welence, a six-foot, 180-pound shortstop who leads the league with a spectacular .706 batting average, went 3-for-4 at the plate, singled in the third inning and doubled in the first and fourth innings. Over his five games, he is 12-for-17 batting with a pair of walks and 11 RBIs.
Teammate Zachary Aaron, a junior infielder from Montreal, contributed to the Redmen offence with a 2-for-3 performance at the plate and one run scored.
McGill starting pitcher Adriano Petrangelo, a science sophomore from Montreal, collected the victory, allowing just two earned runs on seven hits. He posted eight strikeouts and no walks over six innings of work. Veteran closer Simon Ehrmantraut, a senior from Vancouver, B.C., put away the final three outs to record the save.
The Redmen took an early lead with a two-run rally in the first inning on an RBI-double by Welence and a groundout by Montrealer Jamie Fuoco. After extended that to 4-0 in the fourth inning, the Carabins scored twice in the fifth on a two-run double by Samuel Groleau, who finished with a pair of RBIs on two hits. He singled in the third inning and doubled in the fifth inning.
Gabriel De Lisi was charged with the loss. He allowed four runs on seven hits, walked two and struck out six over six inning.
McGill, which sits atop the CCBA Northern Division with a 5-0 record, will put their win streak on the line against cellar-dwelling Ottawa (0-4) with an afternoon doubleheader scheduled for Saturday at Lake Road Park in suburban Dollard des Ormeaux. The first game is slated for a 12 noon start.

Burnsville Dentist - Nancy H. Holm, D.D.S.
Been Awhile? No need for embarrassment or lectures - we are here to HELP!
Welcome to our office! It is our pleasure to provide you all the help that you need to accomplish a beautiful smile—one that reflects a complete commitment to your total dental health. Not just for today, but for the longer life expectancy and the healthy, youthful quality of life we all hope for? It takes more than hope, however-- it takes pro-active choices NOW: The type of dentistry you choose today will impact where your dental and overall health will be, 20 years from now…Don't take your choice lightly!
Ever wonder if your dental office has your long-term, best interests in mind, or just those of your "dental insurance company?" Complete diagnosis and treatment takes time. So does involving the patient in decisions that affect their own individual health needs and ultimately their dental health future. With increased pressure due to heavy discounting from the big insurance companies, many dental practices have moved to a "high volume" practice model. This serves the insurance company well, shifting the focus to doing "the least amount possible" for each person, in order to push more people through the system. Those short-term fixes will lead to problems down the road, and they tend to multiply, in terms of cost, hassle, and compromised results. No wonder many medical and dental offices are feeling more like McDonalds than a patient-focused health service environment.
How can you tell you are really being taken care of? Here is what our team-members agree we would look for in a dental practice if any one of us ever moved away and could no longer be treated here at Dr Holm's office.

Anna Weesner: Light and Stone
c)i emerged from a very practical need – finding performers for works when Kyle and I were students at Penn. What emerged was a collective of composers and players interested in pushing the limits of performance, but also engaging with music's deep questions of historicality and ontology. I was studying with Anna Weesner through this, and c)i ended up playing some of her music a few times, specifically Light and Stone. As is much of Anna's music, it's quite coloristic and mimetic in the best sense; diverse musical patterns mirroring the branching paths of nature. This performance is from a 2008 concert exploring these ideas called root, branch, crystal, at our second home, Tenri Cultural Institute.
I love this painting by Seurat, in we see the worker, as he comes between the light and the stone, making shadows between the light and the stone. Just work that happens to lead to beauty.

On Sciarrino's Centauro Marino
This week we're sharing a piece from c)i's first CD, Group Theory, a disc that featured two long-time members Steve Beck and Sumi Kudo. That's actually the crew that played my first Piano Quartet on my 'Some Consequences…' CD for 2018. I just saw King Crimson at Radio City last month, so I'm very temped to call that c)i III (which would mean we're at c)i V now (welcome, once again Dan and Caleb!).
But c)i's relationship to the piece is much older than that. We were playing it within a few years of our formation, and it was one of the pieces that made us commit to the instrumentation of string trio, clarinet, and piano, and some echoes of the piece are definitely present in my Quintet l'homme armé, my first piece for that power quintet. The instrumental colors are, as always with Sciarrino, perfect in all ways;- intricate but also quite simple in many ways, and the feu d'artifice, as showy as they might seem in the moment, are impeccably balanced to amplify the impact of the form. This is always a piece that is a tight 9, but always feels to me to be 20 minutes or more, like I've been pulled out of the timeline and put back in not quite in the right place. Quintet l'homme armé plays a similar game of balance, and has a similar utilization of pianissimo- Centauro Marino punctuates its own zero-point matrix with sharp, inelastic collisions, while my quintet finds crosses the skein of pulse and density into a quietistic isorhythm, a reflection on the surpassing enthalpy of certain strategies of music making.
Quietism is the right word for the Sciarrino, despite the (irregular) interruptions. We performed that as the last piece on one of my favorite show from that classic c)i III period. We were in the vast cavernous space of the old Washington Square Church, all dust and must and holy resonance. I remember walking out into the night, some autumn evening in Manhattan, in the subtle brûit of a less tidy, constructed by less rebuilt Manhattan, and thought about how that churn had sanctified our little show, puzzled people, spiders listening at least as much to the vibrations of their was as to the who, and church-mice living their church-mice lives. We walked out into the evening and as we walked down the steps to the sidewalk, Kyle turned to me and said "Quiet. It's the new loud."
On Mario Davidovsky's Quartetto #4
Like many of those who knew him and his work, I have been thinking of Mario Davidovsky often since his passing on August 23. Nothing speaks more powerfully than the music itself, but since counter)induction has been such a strong advocate for his music, and we have a platform on which to explore and share ideas, I wanted to take this opportunity to spend time listening to a c)i performance of one his pieces that I wasn't previously very familiar with, and discovered their excellent live recording of his Quartetto #4 for clarinet and string trio.
c)i's performance of Davidovsky's Quartetto #4 for clarinet, violin, viola, and cello beautifully captures many of the hallmarks that I listen for when I hear his music. His characteristic electronic music type analogues that he "re-orchestrated" for acoustic instruments are tightly woven and spring to life like sonic Rube Goldberg machines. Some great examples: the composite gesture of a Bartok pizzicato revealing a sustained tone at 0:18, creating a hybrid timbre; at 8:17 the high squeals followed by a skittering downward murmur (one could imagine these sounds trailing away across the stereo field in a spatialized speaker set up); at 11:18 the final burst of bombast, with a fleet clarinet gesture followed by a trill that sounds like tolling bells. c)i's performance also does a wonderful job of bringing out Davidovsky's compositional juggling act of contrasting characters, balancing the unfolding rhetorical argument while allowing each motive to evolve and change over the course of the piece.
In Quartetto #4, this motivic journey is heard most clearly through the evolution of the clarinet's voice, which frequently retreats back to somber material between more active sections. In the introduction, Davidovsky lays out many of the characters that will be developed later in the piece, the whole of the commedia deIl'arte as he liked to say. Melodrama and sudden expressions of extroversion are very much a feature of his music and the players execute these with requisite energy but retain precision. I've noticed a consistent pattern in Davidovsky's music of tempering those outbursts with introverted material directly afterward. We hear this in the contrast between the climactic material from ca. 10:00-10:36 and the tender music that directly follows, or also in the subsequent passionate passage from 10:55 to 11:24 and the eerie calm of the lone clarinet that comes on its heels. This ability to turn on a dime really makes Davidovsky's music come alive and gives dimension to the multi-layered expressive component in his music. c)i's performance is a compelling version of a powerfully lyrical piece that is late Davidovsky chamber writing at its best.

my name is Jessica and I come from Taiwan. I'm currently in the second semester of my master studies and have just started working at Fintiba 3 weeks ago. For the first 7 months of my stay in Germany, I have realized that leaving home, family and friends to live and study in a foreign country is really not an easy task. There are so many expected and unexpected things that I have to learn and get used to before I see Germany as my second home. So for those who want to turn a new page in life and be well prepared for the journey ahead in Germany, this post is for you!
Have you ever wondered who is working on that awesome product or service behind the scene?
That is pretty much how I felt after getting my blocking confirmation within 3 days- impressed! Therefore, when "Fintiba X-MAS Hunt" event was organized a few months ago, I decided to take this opportunity to learn more about the people and story behind the company.
At the event, friendly employees welcomed us with enthusiasm as well as lots of food and drinks, which quickly made me feel at home. The CEO told us how the company was originally founded and its intention to minimize the time- consuming and bureaucratic process of block account opening. It is also important to mention that it is well recognized by the German foreign office for its contribution to making Germany more attractive to foreign students.
The event "Fintiba X-MAS Hunt" was a hunting game where participants compete in teams by accomplishing things written on the challenge list. After the crazy hunting game where we traveled around the city to complete funny missions, everyone finally gathered around at the Christmas market for a nice cup of Glühwein. The cofounders told us that the mission of the company is to help students and professionals abroad get their VISA for Germany and that they are glad every time when they know they have changed someone's life and career path by doing so.
On my way home, even though exhausted, I was very inspired. I couldn't help but think about ways to introduce Fintiba to more people in need and potential services it could develop for internationals in the future. That was when I realized: I don't want my Fintiba journey to end yet.
Two months later, I rang the doorbell of their Frankfurt office once again. However, this time not with my cheesy "Merry Kissmas" sweater on but with excitement, passion and goal to contribute to the Fintiba family.
And so my Fintiba journey continues!
Why Have I Decided to Study in Germany?
One of the best things about studying in Germany is traveling! Germany shares borders with nine other countries: Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands- which makes it easy to bounce from one country to another over weekends! Not to mention the fact that with a student card, you can not only get discounts on transportation but also cheaper tickets to museums, concerts and many other tourist resorts!
Many companies in Germany work closely with universities and research institutions in application-oriented research and development. Additionally, corporations often offer internships and part-time positions for qualified students who are willing to gain work experiences as well as finance their own studies. Therefore, many educational institutions in Germany emphasize the importance of putting theory into practice, making German diploma one of the most renowned degrees worldwide!
VISA Application – Need a block account ASAP?
I chose Fintiba as my block account service provider because its account opening process is much easier and faster (approx. 1-3 days) in comparison to traditional banks. For example, since there were no Deutschebank branches for individuals in Taiwan, applicants are required to send all documents to Hamburg via the embassy, thus the account opening will take approx. 4- 6 weeks. With Fintiba, on the other hand, the block account was set up within a day! The account opening process is digitized, I simply had to fill out forms, upload documents and go through video legitimation online, all of which were quite enjoyable with clear instructions and modern interfaces. In conclusion, even though I have not tried other block account service providers, but I had a very positive user experience with Fintiba and can recommend them to you.
Health insurance is mandatory in Germany by law. Beside different insurance requirements for people of different profession, age, and period of stay, there are also 2 types of insurance company you could choose from: private or public. Thus, it was one of the most confusing and urgent matters for me in the beginning of my stay. In order to ease the struggle, Fintiba Plus Package (Block Account+ Health Insurance) was invented! With it, internationals can save the trouble and easily get individualized and officially approved insurance package with just a click!
Any Alternative for Expensive Rent Deposit?
I had no experience in renting a room or apartment until I moved to Germany, but I know that paying 2-3 months of rent as deposit is common here. Therefore, horrible stories such as landlord vanishing without returning the rent deposit or landlord losing contact right after rent deposit was transferred all freaked me out. As one day I certainly will have to move out of the school dorms, I have to face this issue sooner or later. Fortunately, Fintiba recently introduced the "Rent Deposit Insurance" which is an alternative to paying the usual rent deposit. By paying 5% of the deposit as premium annually, the guarantee certificate issued by the underwriting agency can be used to replace rent deposit. Therefore, it will increase tenant's overall financial security and liquidity!
In the beginning of the semester, I learned that some of the tenants in the school dorms had to pay fines of up to €300 for not maintaining their mattresses tidy. However, those tenants did not think the claim was justified so they eventually hired a lawyer to fight for their rights. Things like this are terrifying to me because of the language barrier, unfamiliarity with local regulations and high expenses of lawyer fee. In this case, liability insurance could come in handy because one of its functions is to protect its customer against unjustified claims. Besides that, it also covers personal or object related damages, protects against loss of keys, covers damages to your apartment, rental vehicle and many more. Therefore, it is one of the most popular voluntary insurances in Germany!


Looking at the Qantas Club entry on Wikipedia, it says, "Platinum Qantas Frequent Flyers are able to access The Qantas Club at any time, regardless of whether they are flying that day."
I'm looking down the barrel of Platinum level, and if it's a barrel of beer (or champagne), that's fine by me.
However I can't find any reference to this on the Qantas site, and either I'm not looking hard enough or it's a furphy, possibly some benefit now reclining comfortably in the nest of the dodo.
It's true...I remember reading it in the brochure.
The link in the "Ultimate Qantas Guide" (sticky) to "Lounge access at a glance" no longer works, but it used to show that Platinums had access at any time.
Looks like that webpage has been removed.
A PDF version of that webpage I took in 2005 is attached.
Statistically, I am sure I visit my local Qantas Club more often as a non-flyer than when I am flying. Its a great benefit, and you can still take in guests when not flying.
"When visiting an international Qantas Club lounge, you are able to invite one guest each time you visit. Both you and your guest need to be travelling together further that day on a Qantas or British Airways flight. Platinum Frequent Flyers and their guest are welcome in the lounge, even when not travelling on Qantas or British Airways."
The above link is accessible from "flying with us -> Qantas Club"
"When visiting an international Qantas Club lounge, you are able to invite one guest each time you visit. Both you and your guest need to be travelling together further that day on a Qantas or British Airways flight. Platinum Frequent Flyers and their guest are welcome in the lounge, even when not travelling on Qantas or British Airways.
That seems pretty straightforward for International lounges, where you've got to be travelling somewhere just to get airside. But what about Domestic lounges, where all I need do is go through security?
I have several versions of the QF WP guide in my possession and the actual text in relation to domestic access in this regard varies with each edition, the only constant being one of being non specific or vague in this regard.
Well my employer has put me on Virgin as few times (not Deathstar yet ) and the QANTAS club has gratefully supplied me with some nice HPs and the like.
That was one of the nice features of the Ansett Golden Wing lounge - access at any time even when not flying.
I have, however, accessed MEL and BNE domestic QP's while waiting for colleagues.
I agree - I remember reading it in the brochure in the heady days of WP status. Now I'm just a SG on the way down. My youngest daughter is a SG on the way up and recently we talked her way in to SYD T2 lounge as my wife and I were waiting for flight back to ABX. But the Lounge dragon was the charmable type. Would that my daughter had been Plat.
Like all things even if the rules say otherwise in practice things can be different.
If you whip out your card and head straight to the quick check machines the assumption is you are about to get a boarding pass.


The PR Verdict: "A" (Gold Star!) for Katie Holmes and her stealth divorce bomb.
TomKat–Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes–are now officially over. Just like that. The surprising announcement that Holmes had started divorce proceedings seemed to catch her actor husband Cruise off guard. The filing was made on Thursday afternoon; the media went crazy on Friday. What happens now?
Was the split expected? The gossip magazines had not speculated about Cruise's third marriage in any meaningful way (despite ongoing low-level chatter). Cruise showed up alone at the recent premieres of his latest film Rock of Ages with no significant adverse comment. With the media off guard, the time for Holmes to file was now. At least on the PR front, this was minimally damaging, given the couple's notoriety.
The PR Verdict: "A" (Gold Star!) for Katie Holmes, whose divorce strategy is like a precision bomb. Taking the media by surprise means that phase one of the divorce agenda is owned by Homes, hands down.
The PR Takeaway: Quick precision bombing has its advantages. Making a sudden filing before the weekend, while not making substantive comments keeps the scandal level relatively low. Holmes followed the template of her soon-to-be-ex-husband's own divorce from second wife Nicole Kidman: no comment, no explanation–the PR exercise equivalent to ripping the band aid off quickly. No one ever really got to the bottom of the Kidman/Cruise divorce in part because it seemed so unexpected. The explanations this time around might be just as elusive.
Will Katie Holmes's sudden, stealth divorce bomb shatter the media's speculative attack? Give us your PR Verdict, below.


It is Sunday. This is no ordinary Sunday as Golden Week has set its galleon sails and reached into Okinawa once again. I have taken Monday off, which means I now have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday , Wednesday, Thursday for self indulgence. Yay Japan! I intend to exploit this opportunity to the maximum of sensuality.
What can be more sensual than clambering into the Scaffie with a fresh wind blowing offshore. Guys, you have to remember that Okinawa is a delightfully warm place. The sea is warm, the wind is warm, my heart is warm. This means Tshirt and shorts sailing.
The wind fills the sail and off we go across the turquoise lagoon. Sailing boats need lots of adjustments, whether or not said adjustments make much difference to the performance of the boat is moot. However I am unhappy with the overall way the rigging is like at and so, a couple of kilometers out, I tighten the downhaul.
Never has life been so good – good wind, no work, warmth.
Oriental Turtle Dove. Nothing to do with the main narrative.
So, every time I mention to an Okinawan that I have a boat they say "Whoa cosmic! You can fish." Fishing is deep rooted in the Ryukyuan psyche. I feel pressure to fish. I mean I really want to fit in, you know, be one of the lads. So, out past the reef I cast my sea anchor, as what I bought in the best shop in the world in California, over the side and start off on a slow drift.
Thank you for your sea anchor, California.
I hate fishing. It is the antithesis of sailing. All the fiddling about, my eyes are weak I cannot see the knots, all the tangles, all the boredom, all the sitting around on the sea rather than the swoop and glide. Hey, I actually do not want to kill any pretty fish. I mean I can pay someone to do that and buy amazing fish at the store.
Anyway I manage a few minutes.
Who am I trying to fool? After 15 minutes or so of role play, I reel in and I pull in the very effective drogue.
The whole time I was fishing, I was smelling the breeze and thinking what fun it would be to career around the lagoon, to shoot over the reef, to finagle the rig to get maximum performance.
I raise sail and get back to what I really like.
Back on land, I admire my Hibisci, of which I am inordinately proud.
Japan does it right (life). Not golden but yellow, a wagtail, migrating North from Malta last week, landed on our boat 0100, black night 20 knot headwind. Exhausted, went to sleep in my elbow. After an hour we put it in a box and released it in Syracuse harbour next morning. We felt Franciscan.
It will rescue you in the Coloseum one of these days. Hope you had a good trip. Sounds windy.
