Alexandria Proposed Budget for bikes & pedestrians
The WashCycle blog discusses the Alexandria City Managers budget proposal relating to bikes and pedestrian on their blog, :
Alexandria City Manager Rashad Young has proposed a FY 2014 budget that includes $600,000 for Capital Bikeshare expansion in 2014 and another $1,395,000 worth of expansion planned through 2022.
In 2013, work to identify station locations beyond the initial eight stations will be completed. The program will expand to Carlyle and Del Ray over the next several years through a combination of funding sources include CMAQ/RSTP funding, private (development) capital contributions, and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) funding.
In addition, there is
$500,000 for an update to the 2008 Bicycle Master Plan
$0 for the Wilkes Street Bikeway, because no more local funding is needed. The project should go out to bid this year
$1,317,602 for the Holmes Run Bike Trail upgrade, with work to begin in mid to late 2014.
$500,000 in 2015 for a study of the feasibility of building a tunnel connection under the freight rail tracks from the Braddock Road station itself as recommended in the Braddock Metro Neighborhood Plan. Completion of the tunnel would provide a new station entry from the west, minimizing the distance pedestrians must walk to access the station from the west. Currently, pedestrians must walk south to the Braddock Road underpass to reach the station. In addition, the plan recommends studying a potential future pedestrian-bike connection and a potential walking route connection to the northern gateway
$3,500,000 over the next four years for the Old Cameron Run Trail. This project will construct a shared-use path between Eisenhower Avenue near Telegraph Road to on-oad bicycle facilities that link to the Mt. Vernon Trail, addressing a major gap in the city's proposed "Green Crescent" trail system and ultimately providing a key link in the bicycle and pedestrian multimodal transportation system.
$3,200,00 for FY 2017-18 for a shared-use path along Backlick Run from Boothe Park west to the Fairfax County line. Once complete, the trail will help better connect the far west side of the City with the Mount Vernon Trail, and the existing trail network in the Ben Brennan Park and Eisenhower Valley.
$1,000,000 for the construction of safety improvements at the Mt Vernon Avenue/Russell Road Intersection in 2015-16.
$500,000 in FY 2023 for design and engineering funding for the construction of a multimodal bridge from the Van Dorn Metro Station to Pickett Street.
$275,000 in FY 2014 for Safe Routes to Schools.
$7,870,000 for complete streets over the next 10 years.
$180,000 a year for shared-use path improvements and $10,000 a year for trail maintenance.
$350,000 spread over 3 out-years for bicycle parking at the city's Metrorail and transit stations.
$450,000 this year to construct safety improvements on the Mount Vernon Trail where trail width and conflicts with vehicles make non-motorized travel unsafe. Preliminary engineering for this project began in 2011. A property survey has been completed, and the next step will be to move the project to the 30% design phase. Right-of-ways may be needed and the plans for the Gen-On property may affect the project. Construction is not expected to begin until at least FY 2015.

Atlanta, GA, September 08, 2016 –( PR.com )– Pontifex University offers a unique approach to higher Catholic education by forming students in the way of beauty so they might renew traditional Catholic culture. Expert faculty, include highly respected Catholic artists, teach all courses online. Regional workshops are planned around the US, Italy and Holy Land, which include special access to the Vatican museum and the restoration workshops as well as an optional graduation Mass in the Vatican. The Masters of Sacred Arts (MSA) degree is a groundbreaking combination of theory and practice. In addition to the study of theology, philosophy, architecture, film, music and art, students have mentored hands on studio work in drawing, iconography, painting and sculpture. This two year program is perfect for artists, architects, priests, seminarians, religious, educators, laity, patrons of the arts and anyone looking to create beauty as a sign of hope in todays world. Pontifex programs are established on the premise that in all genuine Catholic education, the ultimate Educator is God Himself. As Pius XI stated, the aim of a Christian education is "to form the supernatural man who thinks, judges and acts constantly and consistently in accordance with right reason illumined by the supernatural light." The goal of Pontifex is to guide students along the path, the Way of Beauty, which leads to the supernatural transformation in Christ, so equipping one to serve Him. The MSA program was designed by Provost David Clayton previously Artist-in-Residence at Thomas More College of Liberal Arts whose book, the Way of Beauty, published by Angelico Press in 2015, contains the principles utilized by Pontifex University. "The launching of the MSA program at Pontifex is the culmination of 20 years research," Clayton said. "It all began when, as a recent convert, I decided to become an artist and couldnt find anywhere to give me the training I wanted.

How climate change is leading to a rise in violence in the Sahel (Al Jazeera)
More than 1.3 million people have been plunged into extreme poverty in the Sahel, as the Belt of Africa experiences its deepest recession since independence due to COVID-19.
Long before the pandemic, the Western Sahel was being reshaped by climate change. Farmers and herders have been clashing over fertile land and, lacking opportunities, many young people have been recruited to violent groups. Ornella Moderan, the head of the Sahel programme at the Institute for Security Studies, explains why.
And Fairtrade Foundation CEO Michael Gidney talks to Al Jazeera about the effect climate change is having on the 1.8 million farmers his non-profit organisation works with.

Has France failed in the Sahel? (Al Jazeera)
A spat between the French and Malian governments is threatening to derail a fragile alliance against armed groups in the Sahel region of North Africa.
Last month, Mali's interim prime minister accused France of abandonment over its decision to reduce its military presence in the region.
French President Emmanuel Macron called the comments "unacceptable", and later disparaged the Malian government's efforts to secure parts of the country.
On Tuesday, Mali summoned France's ambassador and expressed "indignation" over Macron's words.
Tensions between the two countries were already high before the dispute – after reports surfaced that Mali was in talks to hire Russian mercenaries for security.
So, what are the risks?

Lil Xan Is the Unlikely Inspiration for Getting Kids off Xanax
2018-01-18 16:53 in MusicWords By Kyle Hodge
When you hear the name Lil Xan, one might think that he's the poster child for taking Xanax, but you'd couldn't be more wrong. He earned his nickname before he started making music due to his fondness for hip-hop's drug of the moment, but he quit Xanax and wrote "Betrayed," in which he makes his position quite clear: "Xans don't make you / Xans gon' take you / Xans gon' fake you / And Xans gon' betray you."
It comes at a particularly critical time in hip-hop.
The drug itself has had a huge presence in the rap game within the past year. Young Thug and B.O.B. dropped a hit called "Xantastic," Lil Peep tragically lost his life from a drug overdose, which led to upcoming rappers Lil Pump and Smokepurpp to publicly state that they won't be using the drug anymore.
Xan's decision to quit taking the drug that earned him his nickname was partially inspired by Peep's death. He sees the impact that the tragic incident is having on the rap community and decided to step up and take action.
In 2018, Xan is one of the many newcomers speaking out against drug use in the music industry. The California rapper and his entourage called Xanarchy have been pushing the anti-xanax movement heavy. "I get messages from fans everyday, by the hundreds, telling me how much I helped them get off xans," he tell us.
His hit single "Betrayal" laid the groundwork for the movement. It's a slow-burning, hook-driven cut originally uploaded to SoundCloud, but is now one of the biggest songs in the country thanks to its powerful message.
Lil Xan, who's only 21-years-old, just started taking music seriously a few months ago. He breaks down his sound as "a product of who I am." He continues, "I like playful beats, xylophones, whimsical sounds of Bobby Johnson productions. It's a product of me; me being a little immature sometimes and childish."
However, he's starting to move away from the typical trap sound and towards a murkier, dream-like sound. "From the beginning up to now, I feel like I've evolved like crazy." His upcoming album will be the proof. "It will show them that I don't make that mumble shit anymore. I've got so much to show the world."
You can watch the full video above to hear Lil Xan discuss more about the progression of his sound, the anti-xanax movement, and what's next for him and the Xanarchy group.
For more on Lil Xan, watch him share the best advice he's ever received from Kendrick Lamar.

Q: How can I use jQuery to remove more than one string from HTML? I have this jQuery to remove the first option group:
var topicSelectHtml = $('#TopicID')
    .clone()
    .find("optgroup:first")
    .remove().end().html();

From the following HTML:
<select name="TopicID" id="TopicID">
   <optgroup label="Admin">
      <option value="0000">All Topics</option>
   </optgroup>
   <optgroup label="AA">
      <option value="05**">a</option>
      <option value="0505">b</option>
      <option value="0510">c</option>
   </optgroup>
   <optgroup label="BB">
      <option value="10**">d</option>
      <option value="1005">e</option>
   </optgroup>
</select>

Is there a way I can also make it so the options that have a value ending in "**" are also removed?

A: You can use jQuery's ends with selector:
var topicSelectHtml = $('#TopicID')
    .clone()
    .find("optgroup:first").remove().end()
    .find("option[value$='**']").remove().end().html();

About Nutmeg:
Nutmeg and mace became known in Europe comparatively late because of the very limited geographical distribution of the nutmeg tree. Only in the 11. th century it was introduced to European markets by Arab traders; it was first used chiefly for flavouring beer (see gale). The spice was thought to originate from India.
Although nutmeg was available in Europe since the 13. th century, significant trade started not before the 16. th century, when Portuguese ships sailed to India and further, to the famed Spice Islands (Moluccas), today the Maluku province in Eastern Indonesia. During the 17. th century, the Dutch succeeded in monopolizing the nutmeg trade, as they did with cloves. Keeping the monopoly was easy as the Banda islands, the only place where nutmeg grows naturally, were so tiny and isolated.
Naturally, nutmeg is limited to the Banda Islands, a tiny archipelago in Eastern Indonesia (Moluccas). Main producing countries today are Indonesia (East Indian Nutmeg) and Grenada (West Indian Nutmeg); while Indonesian nutmegs are mainly exported to Europe and Asia, Grenada nutmeg mostly finds its way into the USA.
Sensory quality
Both spices are strongly aromatic, resinous and warm in taste. Mace is generally said to have a finer aroma than nutmeg, but the difference is small. Nutmeg quickly loses its fragrance when ground; therefore, the necessary amount should be grated from a whole nut immediately before usage.

Q: Using the comment "pro tip" increases the risk of not getting notified about responses by new users Most experienced users know that if you post a comment then the author / editors will receive the comment automatically without the use of the @use(ername) notation. These same users know that they must include the @use notation if they respond to a comment made by a non author / editor.
However, it seems that many new users see that a comment is left w/o the @use notation, so they assume that they can respond to the comment, and the commenter will be notified, without that notation.
I've accidentally noticed that this happens quite often (going back to look at something else in a post that I have commented on).
Just something I've noticed. Not sure how many people don't receive comments because of this.... When I remember I often include the @use notation even if responding to a new author / editor just to encourage them to respond in kind.
Anyway, not sure that this is a question or request per se, but it is an issue. It could be solved by forcing the @use notation always, though I don't necessarily like that idea.
I just went back through my comments, and in the past day I was written 3 comments that were meant for me, but the author didn't use the @use notation, so I wouldn't have gotten them.

A: There's a specific workaround now in place for the example you cited in the screenshot.

*

*post owner comments on own post

*if there are existing comments by one other user

*the new comment will notify the one other user, regardless of whether @user was specified

This allows for better conversations between the owner and a single other user, as this auto-notify behavior will continue until another user comments.

A: If someone needs to be taught how to do this stuff, they should actually be taught how to do it and not simply given a "hint". There's so many ways that we can demonstrate how to use comment replies, but without users actually learning the ins and outs of the system, observation alone will always be sufficient to learning how to use it.
This is the same kind of problem as the fact that we see a lot of "@Downvoters" and "@OP", the people who may use @Yi to respond to Yi Jiang, people who try to reply to multiple users, as well as proper @ syntax that is directed at someone who hasn't even participated in the discussion at all. And, far less frequently, people who don't realize your name is not spelled the way they think it is.
So if you see a new user reply to you without the syntax, feel free to give them a link to the rules. It'll be far better than assuming they'll catch on.

A: What about a link "reply to this comment" below each comment that automatically adds the @user notation to the comments text-box? By the way, I am not taking about a thread system, just a link that takes care of this specific issue (adding the user name). This will also help avoiding spelling issues.

1Wall to move premises and double workforce
A Blackpool-based wall mural designer and distributor is looking to double its workforce following the acquisition of larger premises.
1Wall, which was established in 2012 and is owned by brothers Scott and Gavin Jones, recently secured a funding package of £340,000 to support a move to Kincraig Court in Blackpool. The deal was facilitated by Andy Nurse, relationship manager at Yorkshire Bank's Business and Private Banking Centre in Preston.
The brothers identified a gap in the market for quality yet affordable wall murals while working at their established family owned wallpaper and home furnishing business.
The duo began with a trade launch of just 12 mural designs but the success of the product was evident when major retailers like Argos and Wilkinsons said they were interested in placing orders.
Integral to 1Wall's success has been securing a number of major licensing agreements from brands such as LIFE magazine, Moto GP, DreamWorks, VW and Discovery Channel. The business, which has 13 employees, currently sells more than 300 mural designs and turnover for this year was £2.1m.
After just three years in business, 1Wall now retails to more than 600 independent interior stores across the UK and exports its products internationally to more than 30 countries. Most recently the company secured a deal with B&Q to supply a range of exclusive designs to all of its UK stores.
Director Scott Jones said: "We had outgrown our old premises and it was beginning to restrict our business ambitions because we simply didn't have the room to store large orders. Moving to these new premises will allow the business to grow in new directions and we are grateful to Yorkshire Bank for the support. The expansion also means we are looking to double our workforce to meet demand across all areas of our business."
He continued: "We're continually innovating to keep ahead of interior trends and to ensure that we're creating the right products. Maps have always been an incredibly popular line for us and in January this year, we launched a new concept called creative collage, which brings something completely new to the market. We are now also looking into creating bespoke designs and sizes in response to customer demand."
Ian Hardman, head of Yorkshire Bank's Business and Private Banking Centre in Preston, said: "The Jones family have been longstanding customers of Yorkshire Bank and we are thrilled to be able to support Scott and Gavin – the next generation of this entrepreneurial family – as they enter a significant landmark in their business plan.
"Our specialist knowledge of and focus on different sectors helps to bring a challenge to the market, giving small and medium sized business the speed and flexibility they require to fulfil their growth ambitions."
Yorkshire Bank recently launched a series of lending initiatives for UK businesses, designed to encourage growth for new and existing customers. As well as capital-free periods for up to five years, the Bank has also introduced high percentage funding for businesses to purchase trading premises. Yorkshire Bank has strengthened its support for UK SMEs by becoming the first to partner with the British Business Bank under its ENABLE Guarantees scheme. Up to £125m of new lending by Yorkshire Bank will help more small businesses achieve their growth ambitions.

History of MCBI
On October 22, 1974, Businessman and former pastor, Richard Beals met with three area pastors, Jack Smith from Mildred Bible Chapel, Dr. Paul Hendricks from First Presbyterian in Brainerd, and Lowell Holmgren from Nisswa Community church about the possibility of having a Christian radio station in the Brainerd Lakes Area. They began to pray for open doors. Richard Beals had worked for Northwestern College in Minneapolis prior to moving back to the lakes area and understood the longing of other Twin Cities summer residents to have Christian radio here as well as at home. Interested Businessmen met in November of that year for an organizational meeting and to file with the FCC for a Class A FM radio frequency and elect the first Board of Directors.
There was much prayer that went into asking God to provide direction and funding to bring this dream into reality. Early in 1975 Minnesota Christian Broadcasters, Inc. was incorporated as a 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation and by March of 1977 an application was filed with the FCC for the radio frequency. A construction permit was granted in December of that year. Richard Beals along with his wife, Mildred, traveled to area churches and met in homes of interested individuals and many gave in order to pay for the start-up cost of the radio ministry.
In March of 1978, Mike Heuberger was hired as General Manager and moved his young family to Pequot Lakes and began the preparation for sign-on. His previous broadcast experience of the beginning days of radio station WBCL in Fort Wayne, Indiana, helped as programming was established and staff hired for KTIG. Businessmen and founding Board Members, Gilroy Arvig and Jim Brunes made studio space available in the Arvig Telephone Company building and tower space on the tower. This helped during the early years until listeners were able to fully support this new ministry. Sign-on day was April 30, 1978 for 3,000 watt KTIG which broadcast from 6 a.m. until midnight.
In February, 1980 a translator was added to extend the signal into Walker and in 1982 translators were added in Little Falls and Wadena and later in Park Rapids and Pierz. Land was purchased and the current MCBI office and studio building was constructed with the dedication of the new facility in March of 1983. The broadcast hours were extended to 24 hours in December of 1985. In June of 1990 KTIG increased the signal strength to 6,000 watts and then a change in frequency from 100.1 to 102.7 allowed for power to be increased to a 50,000 watt signal.
In November of 1997, Minnesota Christian Broadcasters purchased the studios, equipment and frequency of 91.5, a 800 watt station KCFB FM in St Cloud. The building was later sold and broadcasting operations were moved to Pequot Lakes which provided for the expansion of KCFB to 15,000 watts in November of 1999.
The Board of Directors and station personnel have changed from time to time through the years, but the vision and purpose has remained the same: "To provide programming based on God's Word that will cultivate within each Central Minnesota listener a desire to know and follow Jesus Christ."

Physiognomonics (Greek: Φυσιογνωμονικά; Latin: Physiognomonica) is an Ancient Greek pseudo-Aristotelian treatise on physiognomy attributed to Aristotle (and part of the Corpus Aristotelicum).
Ancient physiognomy before the Physiognomonics
Although Physiognomonics is the earliest work surviving in Greek devoted to the subject, texts preserved on clay tablets provide evidence of physiognomy manuals from the First Babylonian dynasty, containing divinatory case studies of the ominous significance of various bodily dispositions. At this point physiognomy is "a specific, already theorized, branch of knowledge" and the heir of a long-developed technical tradition.[1]
While loosely physiognomic ways of thinking are present in Greek literature as early as Homer, physiognomy proper is not known before the classical period. The term physiognomonia first appears in the fifth-century BC Hippocratic treatise Epidemics (II.5.1). Physiognomy was mentioned in a work by Antisthenes on the Sophists, which provides evidence of its recognition as an art (techne).[1]
In Aristotle's time, physiognomics was acknowledged as an art (techne) with its own skilled practitioners (technitai), as we see from a reference in Generation of Animals (IV.3):[1]
Then people say that the child has the head of a ram or a bull, and so on with other animals, as that a calf has the head of a child or a sheep that of an ox. All these monsters result from the causes stated above, but they are none of the things they are said to be; there is only some similarity, such as may arise even where there is no defect of growth. Hence often jesters compare someone who is not beautiful to a goat breathing fire, or again to a ram butting, and a certain physiognomist reduced all faces to those of two or three animals, and his arguments often prevailed on people. (trans. Pratt rev. Barnes)
Already in antiquity, physiognomy's pretensions to a "scientific" foundation were questioned and debated. It had connections to medicine, but also to magic and divination.[1]
The treatise
Structure and content
The treatise is divided into sections on theory (805a1-808b10) and method (808b11-814b9). The connections between bodily features and character are treated in detail, cataloguing, for example, twelve kinds of nose, and the distinctive features of the cinaedus.[2]
Connections to Aristotle
The pseudo-Aristotelian treatise begins with an allusion to Aristotle's Prior Analytics (II.27, on the body-soul correlation), and many of the physiognomic connections discussed are mentioned specifically in the History of Animals.[2]
The author's systematic scheme of physiognomic relationships was not adopted by later writers on the subject; the proliferation of incompatible teachings had "the cumulative effect of undermining the authority of the profession as a whole."[2]

The 5 Ages of Man in Greek Mythology
It is from the Greek poet Hesiod that we first get an account of the successive ages of humanity in Greek myth. Hesiod divided the ages of man into five different ages, and we're living in the last one.
When Cronus was still in power, the golden age prevailed. Like the gods, people lived a blissful life without sorrow and misery. They were free from ailments and lived in constant health. The earth gave them gifts and produce to enjoy, and herds grazed on the meadows in their service. Free and unforced, they interacted with the gods. After a long and happy life, they passed away as if in a painless sleep.
The Silver Age
After this generation, the heavenly gods created another less perfect race, the family of the silver age. They could neither match in body nor soul with the golden generation. They were in constant conflict with each other and neglected the worship of the gods. Zeus destroyed them in his anger and hid them underground.
The Copper Age
The third age was the copper age. It was tough and strong and warlike people. The war was their craft and their joy, their hearts were hard as stone and their bodies possessed incredible strength. But no matter how mighty they were, they could not escape death. They too descended to Hades.
The Heroic Age
When this family had also perished, Zeus called a fourth generation alive, which was better and more just than the former. It was the age of the heroes. It was these heroes who fought in the wars of Troy and Thebes. When they died, Zeus gave them a dwelling at the farthest edge of the earth, on the Blessed Islands, where Cronus reigns. There they lead a carefree and blissful life.
The Iron Age
The fifth age is the Iron Age. Life is trouble and endless misery. No one cares about custom or right. The reverence for the parents and the elders is gone. The fidelity between guests and friends has disappeared. Relatives and friends are in bloody battles with each other. Nothing but a bottomless misfortune is left to man. This is the last age, the one we're living in right now.
Morals in the Myth
There's something about us humans and nostalgia or the longing for the past, a past which we deemed was better than the depraved times of today. This tendency of the mind seems to be as old as history itself. Whether you look at the Vedas in the Indian subcontinent, or at Hellas as in the works of Hesiod and Homer, there is a longing and reverence towards the generations of the past, the ancestors.
We live in the age of trouble and misery, the Iron age, in Hindu myth, there is a similar notion about the kaliyuga, which we're currently in. The "Kali" of Kali Yuga means "strife", "discord", "quarrel" or "contention", which is quite similar to the description that Hesiod gave of the Iron Age.

AU celebrates women
Ashland Times Gazette
By COURTNEY ALBON
T-G Staff Writer
Going green doesn't have to be an inconvenience, Patricia Saunders told a group of about 80 women Friday in Ashland University's Accent Room.
Saunders, an AU biology professor, offered tips for choosing a more natural, eco-friendly lifestyle as part of AU's third annual Accent On Women. The event, which this year included presentations about fashion, gardening and entrepreneurship, is about celebrating women.
Holly Finks, AU's first lady and one of the event's founders, said the event is meant to remind women how much they mean to society.
"It think events like this demonstrate to (women) that they are worthy and encourages them to remind other women in their lives of their worth," Finks said.
The event also falls the day before graduation when alumni and trustee's and their spouses are in town.
Jane Frank of Ashland, an AU alumna, brought her friend, Jo Kaufman, to the event. Both women said they found the presentations to be helpful and expect to use some of the tips.
Kaufman said she found a session on landscaping and curb appeal hosted by Willo'Dell Nursery general manager Susie Quinn particularly helpful.
"It was very helpful to just have some simple ideas that we could incorporate," Kaufman said.
During the fashion presentation, Nancy A. Morris, associate professor of family and consumer sciences, had participants use paper plates, duct tape and other household products to construct a "murse" -- a purse for men -- to hold the items their husbands ask them to carry in their bags.
Frank said the activity was fun, but she's not sure her husband would be interested.
"I can tell you that my husband would never carry a purse of any kind," Frank said.
A portion of the registration fee for this year's event will go toward starting an endowment fund.

"They discredited the entire Indiana judiciary."
by Jon Guze
That's what the Indiana Supreme Court said about three lower court judges who were involved in a brawl at an Indianapolis White Castle last spring. The South Bend Tribune has the story:
Three Indiana judges … have been suspended without pay after the Indiana Supreme Court determined they committed judicial misconduct.
In an opinion issued Tuesday, the court said judges Bradley Jacobs, Andrew Adams and Sabrina Bell "engaged in judicial misconduct by appearing in public in an intoxicated state and behaving in an injudicious manner and by becoming involved in a verbal altercation."
Adams' blood-alcohol level was approximately 0.157 upon admission to the hospital, and Jacobs' was approximately 0.13, according to the opinion. Bell's blood alcohol level was not tested, "but she was intoxicated enough that she lacks any memory of the incident," per the opinion. …
All three judges received suspensions but will eventually return to their offices. …
"Respondents' actions were not merely embarrassing on a personal level; they discredited the entire Indiana judiciary," the court said in the opinion. …
The judges traveled to Indianapolis on April 30 to attend a judicial conference the next day. Around 3 a.m. May 1, the judges, along with a magistrate who was not involved in the fight, tried to enter the Red Garter Gentleman's Club in Downtown, but it was closed.
They went to the nearby White Castle at 55 W. South St. instead.
Adams, Jacobs and Bell were standing outside the restaurant when Alfredo Vazquez and Brandon Kaiser drove past the trio in a blue SUV. According to charging documents from the Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications, either Kaiser or Vazquez yelled something out the window, which prompted Bell to give the middle finger to the men. …
Vazquez, according to the charges, parked his SUV. After he and Kaiser exited the vehicle, a verbal altercation ensued, court documents said. It then turned violent when Adams and Jacobs moved toward Vazquez and Kaiser, the commission said.
Adams and Vazquez both hit and kicked each other, according to court documents, while Jacobs and Kaiser mostly wrestled on the ground. "At one point, Judge Jacobs was on top of Kaiser and had him contained on the ground," the charging documents said.
Vazquez then tried to get Jacobs off of Kaiser, the commission said. As Jacobs began to get up, Vazquez started fighting him, court documents said.
After Kaiser began to sit up, Adams kicked him in the back, the commission said. Kaiser then pulled out a gun and shot Adams in the stomach, according to court documents. The commission says Kaiser then "went over to Judge Jacobs and Vazquez and fired two more shots at Judge Jacobs in the chest."
Kaiser and Vazquez then allegedly fled the scene.
Makes you wonder about the judicial conference they were attending, but, all in all, I'm impressed with the fighting spirit of those Indiana Judges.

Margaux Fitoussi Humanities
A Specter Haunting South Africa': Cuba's Symbolic Importance in the South African Anti-Apartheid Struggle, 1975-1991
Revolutionary Cuba provided international support and financial assistance to the liberation movements throughout southern African. Cuba's foreign policy of international revolution and its liberation discourse crossed boundaries erected by the apartheid state and influenced the South African emancipation movement. Despite a strong public rapport between Cuba and anti-Apartheid leaders, the majority of research on Cubas foreign policy towards Africa has excluded South Africa. Drawing on archival research conducted at the University of Cape Town and South African national archives, Margaux hopes to contribute to the analysis of Cuba's symbolic significance to the anti-Apartheid struggle. She will trace the origin of Cuba's involvement in the South Africa liberation movement beginning in 1975 with Cuba's increase of support to African revolutionary movements and ending in 1991 with Nelson Mandelas visit to Cuba.

Ali Unique - what do we bring that is unique to VictorY!'s Training?
Learning should be fun and more than exams, portfolios, certificates or competencies. It should be relevant to life, broaden your knowledge base and make a difference. Learning should have personal meaning or it is something we do just because we are told to do it.
Learning should also add value to an organisation, more value than making sure the B-BBEE Scorecard or Annual Skills Plan is covered as best we can.
Learning is an investment - for the organisation & for the learner.
The Ali's Travels theme makes the training fun, interesting, challenging and anti-bias when we tackle sensitive issues such as elections, culture, gender and age in the training room. The learners step outside of their own thinking and look at the world with fresh eyes.
The learners "travels" to 10 different countries all over the world during one training cycle.
The learner resources consist of more than JUST a training manual - they get a training bag with a full set of stationery + a dictionary (relevant to the subject) + reading books + posters & videos & audio mp3 player - as determined by the type of training methodology followed.
Excursions consists of an external full day trip to a local attraction, by bus and meals included PLUS a smaller, more personal in-house experience for each client individually.
Assessment & Graduations are treated as very special and important occasions in the life of a learner AND organisation.
They have a story of their own and it is the theme around which all training happens. Visit Ali's Travels page to read about their story.
Learners are provided with resources throughout the training cycle - it keeps it exciting and a sense of anticipation of "What are we going to get next"..
The VictorY! training programmes include a number of special workshops relevant to what is happening in real life. The elections is one of them.
All learners are expected to complete a placement assessment before training & we end the training with a special graduation in front of the managers.
Ali's Travels visit countries all over the world in the training - over a five cycle period. This means that a learner will not visit the same country twice.
Our facilitators are very special and chosen for their skill, as well as their passion for developing people. They go the extra mile for their learners.
Our clients are as special as our learners and we continually strive to make the training initiatives running as smooth as possible for you.
We implement different training strategies, ranging from face-to-face; mentoring while self-studying; visual & audio lessons to go with the workbooks, to dealing with all the admin, recruiting and coaching | mentoring out of school youth on a learnership, and more.
In 2016 we have introduced a system where all documentation, registers, contracts, agreements, invoicing, certificates are uploaded onto a cloud based webpage - unique to each client and password protected by the client.
We partner with community projects | NGOs | Social Services initiatives all over South Africa. This gives us the edge to offer learnerships to our work less youth through client companies. A five way commitment between the learner - training provider - community - business & SETA.
Photos are taken through a training cycle - from individual student photos to action shots, excursions, examinations, graduations. These photo records are burned onto a CD that is given to the client to use on their websites, annual reports, newsletters etc. We will also load these onto the client's cloud based webpage.
All documentation, info, records, certificates are loaded onto the client's VictorY! page for ease of access.
AkukhanYa has partnered with community projects throughout South Africa as part of our Learnership Initiative.
Each client is provided with a CD with all the students photos taken in training to use for their website or marketing.
This is a beautiful video - even though it is advertising Bell's - demonstrating why we are passionate about our training.
These unique aspects are not restricted to our AET training programmes only, but are threads through all our training. They can be excluded to streamline the cost of the training, but that does take away the richness and special aspects of the learning experience for the students.

USA committed to Northern Ireland's success, says Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton
Queen's University Belfast's Chancellor, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton has said that the new Biden administration in the USA is committed to the success of Northern Ireland economically and politically.
Pictured L-R are: US Consul General Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau and Queen's University Belfast Chancellor, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She was speaking at an 'in conversation' event on US politics, organised by Queen's, in partnership with University College London's Centre on US Politics, with support from the US Department of State.
During the event, entitled "Beyond Decision 2020", Secretary Clinton was in conversation with US Consul General Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau reflecting on her political career, the view of America in the world and the new Biden-Harris Administration, the importance of Northern Ireland and the broader UK, and the key role of women and diversity in politics today.
Speaking about the new administration and the importance of Northern Ireland, Secretary Clinton commented: "I think there will be a very keen focus on what happens in Northern Ireland. The commitment to the Northern Ireland peace process was bipartisan, it was supported by the very active Irish-American community in America, by Irish-America elected officials on both sides of the isle, so there is a real sense of investment and it's not just emotional, it's political, and it's even financial.
"One of the things we tried to do in concert with the Good Friday Agreement was to encourage more American investment and when I was Secretary of State I even had an Envoy committed to economic activity that could create more jobs for the people of Northern Ireland. There is a very deep sense of connection with Northern Ireland and I know that the Biden Administration, the people who are in it, will be very attuned to what's happening there, and will play whatever role they constructively can play in trying to make sure whatever problems Brexit has brought to the situation on the island and between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and the water barrier between the island and the UK.
"We need to be encouraging the resolution of any kind of artificial barrier and anything that undermines the Good Friday Agreement and I know the Biden-Harris Administration will certainly pay attention to that."
Professor Ian Greer, President and Vice-Chancellor of Queen's University Belfast said: "At Queen's we are committed to facilitating debate and discussion on key issues impacting society. We were delighted to work in partnership on this event and with US Consul General Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau.
"I am very grateful to our Chancellor, Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, for sharing her thoughts with us on these key issues during this virtual event and I am looking forward to a time when we can welcome her back to Belfast in person as Chancellor of Queen's."
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton is an internationally recognised public servant, former Secretary of State, Senator and First Lady.
Secretary Clinton has strong links with Queen's and Northern Ireland, especially because of her outstanding contribution to peace and reconciliation. In 2018, she received an Honorary Degree from the University for her exceptional public service.
Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton is Queen's University's 11th and first female Chancellor.
Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau assumed her duties as US Consul General in Belfast in September 2018.

Royal gran Carole's baby shower range: Kate's mum promotes party firm's goods days before birth
Days before grandchild is due, gran Carole promotes baby-shower range
Mrs Middleton's goodies come in pink and blue in case the sex is unknown
Items in the range include a £2.79 set of party cups and straws for £3.49
Multi-millionaire was criticised for 'tacky' merchandise at Diamond Jubilee
By Rebecca English Royal Correspondent For The Daily Mail
The timing is surely a coincidence – three days before her daughter is due to give birth to another royal baby, Carole Middleton is busy promoting her party firm's baby-shower goodies.
The mother of the Duchess of Cambridge emailed customers of her Party Pieces firm yesterday, recommending the Chevron Divine tablewear range for parents-to-be.
Mrs Middleton, 60, who has previously been accused of cashing in after her daughter Kate married Prince William, wrote: 'I love a range that fits so many different gatherings. Chevron Divine is just that, and it's great for a baby shower.'
The mother of the Duchess of Cambridge emailed customers of her Party Pieces firm yesterday, re commending the Chevron Divine tablewear range for parents-to-be
And, in keeping with news that William and Kate do not know the sex of their baby – the fourth in line to the throne, she adds: 'It teams blue and pink together – perfect if you don't know what sex the baby is
And, in keeping with news that William and Kate do not know the sex of their baby – the fourth in line to the throne, she adds: 'It teams blue and pink together – perfect if you don't know what sex the baby is.'
The cheapest item in the range is a £2.79 set of party cups. It also includes straws for £3.49 and cake bunting at £7.69. Mrs Middleton started Party Pieces at home more than 25 years ago and its success has made her a multi-millionaire. But it was criticised for bringing out tacky merchandise for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, such as Corgi-themed scratchcards.
However, friends point out that the firm was set up years before the future king began dating Kate, and as head of one of Britain's leading party goods suppliers Mrs Middleton would not be doing her job if she failed to mark major royal events.

How James Blunt will serenade Kate as she gives birth: As... Six weeks of paternity leave, Wills? You'll send Kate crazy... 'I wish she would change her hair!' Duchess of Cambridge... Kate's baby bunker: Fun days out at the petting farm, cosy...
Her advice was no doubt inspired by personal experience as both Prince William and Kate insist they have chosen not to find out the sex of their son or daughter in advance.
The baby, who is fourth in line to the throne, is due on Saturday but barriers are already in place outside of the private Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where the Duchess is due to give birth, just in case the new little prince or princess decides to make an appearance in the next day or so.
Amusingly, the Party Pieces website also publishes advice on how to hold a 'gender neutral baby event', which advises using decorations in yellow, red or silver

'As long as you avoid pink and blue in a theme, you've got a great choice to choose from,' it says helpfully, adding (with a nod to Pippa Middleton's much maligned first book, Celebrate, which was accused of rather stating the obvious): 'Ask people to RSVP you. Knowing numbers will help you plan better.'

Sandra has just returned to work after a period away. Upon returning she learns that not only will she be likely dismissed, but that the income from her position will be used to provide a bonus for her co-workers. Sandra races against time over the course of the weekend to convince each of her fellow employees, who will ultimately decide if she is to stay or go, to sacrifice their much-needed bonuses so she can keep her job. With each encounter, Sandra is brought into a different world with unexpected results in this powerful statement on community solidarity.
Guest speaker for this screening will be Austin Chronicle Film Reviewer Josh Kupecki.
Ciné-Club is a non-profit and non-commercial event proposed by Alliance Française, a self-financed, 501c(3) non-profit organization. It is made possible with support from Institut Français, Austin Film Society and YOU!

Have you tried our Octo Pie?
I'm warning you. It's rather sly.
Its eight, long tentacles lie in wait.
As you dig in, it moves your plate.
It tickles you, then wraps you tight.
You're lucky if you get a bite.
It suckers you--makes you a fool.
You won't believe the ridicule!
Or you won't even get a lick.
No, Octo Pie's not easy to eat.
May I suggest a Tarantula Treat?

Top notch Arts education facility in Hendersonville. Fully vetted, professional, licensed instructors in a unique 200 year old historic mansion.
The Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center (The MACC) is Sumner County's first arts museum of its kind and is an inspiring addition to the Greater Nashville's Arts and Museums community.
Our mission is to collect, preserve and interpret local and regional art, and present exhibits of regional, national and international importance. History, arts, education, and community will remain an ever-present commitment to the Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center.
The MACC is located in the beautiful historic mansion on Gallatin Road in Hendersonville. Formerly known as Hendersonville Arts Council, it is being transformed into a magnificent art gallery and museum, and is set to become a destination in the region for those interested in the visual and performing arts.
Monthaven was originally part of 640 acres granted to Henry Rule for service in the Revolutionary War. Built in the early 1800s and used as a Civil War field hospital, the mansion was named Liberty Hall when LB Fite took up residence after the war. In 1936, it was bought by Nashville businessman Mont Bliss Comer, becoming his "getaway" and quickly coined "Monts Haven." After Mont's death, his family remained in the mansion and sold it in the late 1980s to a development company who deeded the mansion to the city of Hendersonville to be used for the arts.
By April 2017, The MACC had new goals of presenting special exhibitions of regional, national, and international artists, continuing to grow the arts education programs, and maintaining the museum's rich history and heritage.
Today Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center exists to create a vibrant art, educational, and cultural experience for people of all ages and to maintain Monthaven as a Historical Landmark.
With a new vision and re-branding on the horizon, The MACC is on the fast-track towards success of becoming Middle Tennessee's premier gallery and museum destination.

early proof of concept research
Since 2007 the Firefly Foundation has donated $400,000 to The Tanz Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases to support their work in finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease.
Funding from Firefly is applied to early phase, proof-of-concept research with a focus on Alzheimer's and Lewy body disease, under the supervision of Dr. Peter St George-Hyslop, a professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Neurology, and Director, Center for Research in Neurodegenerative Disease at the University of Toronto.
The Tanz Centre is one of the leaders in neurodegenerative disease research publications in the United States and Europe. The Centre's articles are heavily cited by researchers and experts, demonstrating the extraordinary impact of its research on these diseases.
a message from dr. paul fraser
Principal Investigator at the CRND
The Firefly funds were used for two projects that addressed both the early diagnosis and potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease. The first involves the development of a new imaging technique to specifically detect amyloid deposits in the brain as these represent to first stages of the disease and we may be able to identify at risk individuals who can be treated before memory loss sets in. The second project looked at how the brain regenerates nerve cells with the view to enhancing the regenerative process and repair the damaged areas of the brain in individuals with late stage Alzheimer's disease.
One of the most difficult things in research is to get financial support for new or high risk endeavors as most funding agencies require preliminary data even if the underlying idea is considered to be highly innovative. The wonderful thing about the Firefly funding is that it is essentially seed money which allows us to explore these new areas of research and take chances that are otherwise impossible to do. The findings from the two Firefly projects have now been leveraged into a large internationally-funded research grant, enabled a doctoral student to win a prestigious Vanier Scholarship, and made it possible for a postdoctoral fellow to secure a faculty position as an Assistant Professor.

I recently acquired this classic album on vinyl and it is a welcomed walk down memory lane. Origin of Symmetry is a powerful statement by a band that, at the time, was relatively new and still finding their way. Muse packed musicianship, vocal ability, heavy riffage and melodic tunes into their second album, making it stand out as an essential album of the early 21st Century.
Before I even put Origin of Symmetry on the turntable, the cover and the inserts intrigued me. Opening the gate-fold of the double LP, artworks by various artists litter the housing all titled 'Origin of Symmetry'. This imaginative idea compliments the album making even the cover exciting and unique, which is exactly what Muse is, this is further outlined in the music.
The first track 'New Born' kicks off the album with a hypnotic piano riff provided by Matthew Bellamy, then Christopher Wolstenholme's fuzzy bass further adds to the repetitive nature. This fuzzy bass tone is prominent throughout the album forming what would be a signature Muse feature. Dominic Howard enters on the drums and Muse is in full swing, smashing out a viscous lick. The riff game is strong throughout Origin of Symmetry showing a heavier, rock influence that Muse possesses.
An absolute highlight of the entire album is the haunting and memorable vocal performance by Bellamy. With such a unique and intense voice, it catches the ear from the outset. As one gets further into the album, the appreciation for his musicianship and ability is easily recognized. Bellamy's vocals come to a head in 'Micro Cuts', his falsetto is commanding and psychotic. The delivery is fitting and appropriate given the lyrical themes are dark, deep and haunting.
As I put the second LP on the record player, I prepared for 'Citizen Erased', which is an epic Muse creation starting heavy and riff based, then delving into different territory. The use of effects and spacey keyboards add texture and depth to this bold musical creation. This song in particular indicates the sound Muse had started to develop, which was a sophisticated and larger scale of composition.
Almost closing the album is a tremendous, and now famous, cover of 'Feeling Good' composed originally by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. This is a new take on an old classic and is done with such taste and understanding, again showcasing Bellamy's trained vocals. Every time I hear this 'Feeling Good' rendition I think back to when I saw Muse at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in 2007, for the Black Holes and Revelations Tour. In the third verse Bellamy sang through a megaphone to get the same tone that had been captured on the recording. This is the magnificence of this album; most songs lend themselves to a live environment with ease. I can picture songs like 'Hyper Music', 'Plug In Baby' and 'Bliss' being performed live and an audience going crazy, just by listening to the record. This live nature is truly magical considering the album was produced in 2001, and is an indication of an incredible band.
Origin of Symmetry is a dark and beautiful album by one of the greatest bands of the past 15 years. Each song flows into each other making a tremendous record full of exciting and unique characteristics that is only Muse. With originality at the forefront, take a journey back to the beginnings of Muse for the love of music, and discover why they have become one of the biggest bands in the world.

The two constants in life are taxes and death...on Game of Thrones and now, one ambitious project has crafted an algorithm to determine the likeliness of a character surviving all six episodes of the upcoming season. Essentially, a scientific data team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) used machine learning to develop the algorithm, which factors in a character's information such as the house they belong to and the characters they align themselves with.
Using the algorithm, the team suggests Daenerys is nearly guaranteed to survive the season, with the algorithm spitting out a 0.9 percent chance of dying. Rounding out the top five of characters "less likely to die," are Tyrion Lannister (2.5 percent), Varys (3.2 percent), Samwell Tarly (3.3 percent), and Jaime Lannister (4.0 percent).
On the other side of the coin, Sir Bronn is nearly guaranteed to kick the bucket with the highest "death rating" out of the bunch at 93.5 percent. Other characters likely to die according to the TUM algorithm include Gregor Clegane (80.3 percent), Sansa Stark (73.3 percent), Bran Stark (57.8 percent), and Sandor Clegane (47.5 percent).
It's a super interesting project and the university has dedicated an entire website to the matter, complete with a full character database that you can search to see the various survivability rates. It should be noted that the academic outfit did a similar procedure in 2016 and that time around, Daenerys had a 95 percent chance of dying. If you've continued following the show, you'll know that the Mother of Dragons is alive and well.
Game of Thrones airs Sunday nights at 9/8 p.m. Central on HBO.
