Culture- What is it?
What is Culture?
The other night Marte, Damola and I attended an art gallery with some new Ethiopian friends, and went out with them for dinner and drinks afterwards. Dinner and drinks quickly turned into a passionate debate about Beyonce politics, westernization of Ethiopian culture, western Hip Hop and entertainment media in relation to Ethiopia and Africa at large, and Feminism. There was yelling, dramatic hand gestures, laughter, anger, happiness, and enlightenment all encompassed into this very complicated and important conversation.
Not one of us in this conversation had the same racial, ethnic and national experience. Being a diverse group of people engaging in these topics, made each of our opinions very distinctive from one another. The underlying question of all of our debates, one that kept coming up was "what is culture". Over and over again we would say "well in our culture…" or "well that isn't (insert ethnicity here) culture!" or "well this idea/establishment/person will/has ruined (insert ethnicity here) culture". But when I walked away the biggest question I was left with was, what is culture, who decides what culture is, who decides what culture evolves into, and maybe more importantly, who decides what culture isn't and what it doesn't evolve into?
Throughout our debate our new friends were telling us about older or traditional Ethiopian culture and the newer one, which they attributed to modernization and an implied westernization. One example of this is the nightclub "Jolly" here in Ethiopia. I have frequented this place once, and I can say it is almost exactly like a New York City nightclub. Our friends told us that Jolly had previously been a traditional place for locals. It was a place where local politicians and activists came to discuss issues that were present in their local villages. Recently Jolly was inherited by the previous owner's son, and he turned this place into a nightclub. One of our friends had told us a story of how her dad had taken the whole family to Jolly wanting to show them where he used to go with his family and friends to discuss current events, and was surprised and dismayed to find that it is now a nightclub where his family could not enter.
Two of our new friends told us how this is exactly how modernization (and an implied westernization) is ruining Ethiopia. The first, of many, complaints on new Jolly were of its advertisement. Jolly's advertisements are all of a hyper-sexualized woman, enticing men and women. The advertisement itself sets a standard of the women and men who can attend this club. They told us that women must be hypersexualized, wearing small and tight dresses, and men should look masculine. Interestingly, a western definition of masculine, wearing western clothing (button up, slacks, dress shoes – not traditional), and appear as if they have money and status. Our friends hated this. They said this goes against what Ethiopia is about; women aren't supposed to be hyper-sexualized, and that isn't what being a Ethiopian man is about.
Another example of this was the artist The Weekend. To my surprise, The Weekend is Ethiopian! For those of you who don't know him, he is a Canadian born, American R&B artist who is known for his extremely sexual lyrics that quite graphically describes sexual experiences, where, more often than not, the woman is a sexual object. More frankly, he makes "baby-making" music. Recently, he made an announcement that he is going to release an album featuring Ethiopian music. To two of our new friends (the same two who criticized Jolly's modernization) this was absurd. How can a man who represents sex and humans in all the ways Ethiopian culture resists, create an Ethiopia-centered album? Won't he taint Ethiopian culture just as Jolly is?
Another one of our Ethiopian friends had a counter argument however. She basically questioned who are we to decide what is today's Ethiopian culture. Some people say Jolly and The Weekend and his new album are modern Ethiopian culture. How can we say that there is only one culture? Moreover, she said that she thinks that it can be OK to have these nuanced ideas, despite your thoughts and opinions on it, as long as you teach newer generations that those aren't the only forms of Ethiopian culture.
She raised a great point. It is a problem that western culture, economics, governance etc., is essentialized and often emulated by non-western countries, but when does something get attributed to the local culture/state/economics etc., and not attributed to the west? Don't get me wrong, I am all for criticizing the West and acknowledging that colonization and imperialism has created this duality within developing states, where feminized tradition is at war with hyper-masculine modernization. What I am wondering is that, in our critiques of western cultural imperialism, aren't we still putting the west at the center of all change, oppression, discussion etc.? Culture is an ever-changing and evolving thing; why can't Jolly just be a new form of Ethiopian culture?
This is an interesting debate, which for us lasted until 1AM. Who is to say what is truly "Ethiopian culture"? I can relate to this; when I think of my own country of India I see how modernization has created and solidified a hyper-masculinized patriarchal state. I attribute this to westernization. I am continuously saying, "that's not 'real' Indian culture that is the westernized version of our culture". By this I mean that post-colonization India changed a lot, including imposing a lot of western-originated patriarchal culture and policies. So yes, if we take history into account modernization is, unfortunately, westernization, but is it just that?
These questions don't have a specific answer. Developing countries are not doing one or the other, they are doing it all at once. It is wrong to solely look at countries as either resisting or emulating the west because that rhetoric keeps the west the center of change and non-change. Non-western nations are simultaneously resisting and emulating the west, and they are creating their own new culture and tradition independent from the west. It is all happening, and that is crucial in creating a post-colonial identity. And just as our contrarian friend had pointed out, nuances will come, some that emulate the west, some that doesn't, but that's what culture does. Globalization has been happening for years, before colonization ever happened; it is natural. What we can do is understand history, where these ideas came from, so that we can make an informed decision on how to create our and our state's identity.


On January 6 the Befana did not miss a stop and arrived at the new offices of the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan. She parked her broom and pulled Italian candies and chocolates and … yes, even coal out of her bag. The visit of the Befana was welcomed by many families of the Dante and BBNC, who spent an afternoon with bingo, Mercante in Fiera and the story of the Befana. For this wonderful afternoon, we thank Marianna who, with her smile and her sweetness, listened and embraced children and adults by renewing and spreading the message of the Epiphany that is a symbol of internationalism and self-giving.

College Hunks' Stephen Bienko Honored By IFA
The following content is courtesy of the IFA, with minor edits by College Hunks.
College Hunks Hauling Junk Franchisee Stephen Bienko, of Fairfield, NJ, was honored recently by the International Franchise Association with its annual Franchisee of the Year Award.
Franchise Owner/Operators representing 36 franchise systems were recognized during the IFA's 14th Annual Public Affairs Conference for their outstanding performance and the contributions they have made to enhance the growth and development of franchising. Stephen owns the North Jersey location along with one in Nashville, TN.
"The franchising community is an important part of the U.S. economy due to the hard work of franchisees," said IFA Chairman Steve Romaniello, Managing Director, Roark Capital Group. "The IFA is proud to recognize the outstanding efforts of Stephen Bienko with the Franchisee of the Year Award and thank him not only for [his] work to promote franchising, but for the contributions [he makes] every day to showcase how local business owners propel the economy in communities across the country."
The Franchisee of the Year Award is a major component of the IFA's Public Affairs Conference, which brings more than 400 franchise business leaders together in Washington, D.C. to carry the key messages of franchising to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. During the two-day event, franchise industry leaders met with over 200 congressional offices about issues important to the future of franchising such as tax certainty, healthcare reform, immigration and access to credit. The Public Affairs Conference is a powerful way to help forward IFA's advocacy efforts and further increase awareness about how franchising can contribute to economic recovery and job growth. The event is supported by founding sponsor ADP Small Business Services.
During their visit to Washington, IFA members highlighted the economic impact of franchising. According to a study conducted for the IFA Educational Foundation by PricewaterhouseCoopers on the economic impact of franchising, there are more than 825,000 franchised businesses in operation across the country, which is indirectly responsible for providing 18 million jobs and generating $2.1 trillion in economic output.
"As Washington works to strengthen and renew our economy, lawmakers should remember that franchising counts in local communities all across the country," Romaniello said. "With sound regulatory policies, franchise businesses can create the jobs necessary for sustained economic recovery and growth."

Find a Treasure at Padre Island National Seashore
"I didn't know we had a national park here!"
You have no idea how many times I've heard that since arriving last summer at Padre Island National Seashore. I'm an intern, a Centennial Volunteer Ambassador, charged with community outreach in advance of the National Park Service's 100th anniversary this August.
It's understandable that Padre Island is a mystery to some. The National Seashore is a 30-minute drive from Corpus Christi and along the way there are a number of free beaches, while a park pass for the seashore costs $10. But people are starting to come around. Our Mardi Gras Parade, for example, opened a lot of eyes — which pop even further when folks get to the seashore.
People tend to think of us as a typical beach: sand, water, maybe some dolphins. Once they step into our visitor center, however, they're greeted by a saltwater tank filled with tri-colored sea anemones that resemble electric carnations, and amazing puffer fish — a cute but lethal cross between a porcupine and a balloon.
From there, in our Hidden Treasures program, we walk down to the beach and explore a shoreline teeming with tiny jellyfish, ghost crabs, minnows and more. That's about when the "wow" moment happens, as our guests gaze out at the Gulf of Mexico and start to imagine all the other marine life out there and beyond. Then I hear another frequently repeated statement: "This is the coolest thing I've ever seen!"
Much the way our park rangers use little creatures to hint at the vast diversity of Earth's oceans, I use Padre Island National Seashore to illustrate the infinite grandeur of America's national parks. After all, the Park Service's centennial campaign is called "Find Your Park." These lands — mountains and geysers, caverns and cliff dwellings, and, yes, stunning seashores — have been preserved for your wonder. And there's nothing like nature to renew the soul. Just ask anyone who has watched a sea turtle hatchling crawl into the surf.
Nesting season is just about to begin, and I'm now training to go down island, find turtle nests and collect eggs for incubation. We do this to increase the survival rate. The species most commonly found nesting here, the Kemp's ridley, is the world's most endangered sea turtle species, although the tide is turning. Dr. Donna Shaver, the chief of the Division of Sea Turtle Science and Recovery at Padre Island, is recognized around the world for spurring these creatures' comeback. Like me, Dr. Shaver came to the seashore as an intern with the Student Conservation Association, a nonprofit that provides young adults with opportunities to make a difference on public lands and even start a career. Given the acclaimed staff and programs at Padre Island, I couldn't pass this up.
I started last summer, just in time to assist with the first releases of the season. I had to obtain a permit before I could hold these fragile, protected creatures. The size of an Oreo, they fit in the palm of your hand, and as I showed my hatchling to visitors, young and old alike, you should have seen their faces light up.
It was an incredible experience for me, too. I began to realize the effect I had on everything around me. I thought about how I could better treat the natural world around me. I focused on what I could do to make this sea turtle, the one in my hands, one of the lucky hatchlings who would make it.

Currently the concentrations of ozone in the atmosphere across Europe are regularly exceeding levels that are predicted to result in adverse effects on vegetation (e.g. crop yield losses, visible leaf injury).
The ICP Vegetation programme, managed by CEH, coordinates research on the harmful effects of ozone pollution on European vegetation. New critical ozone levels, specific to vegetation and growing conditions, have been included in UN transboundary air pollution policies.
Levels of ozone pollution in the air can adversely affect large areas of European vegetation, causing, for example, leaf damage and reduced root growth, crop yields and tolerance of drought.
The ICP Vegetation programme is investigating the impacts of air pollutants on vegetation. It forms part of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Convention (UNECE) on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (LRTAP).
The programme involves scientists in 33 European countries plus the USA and Canada. It is coordinated from the UK by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) at Bangor.
Knowing the ozone concentration in the air provides only a partial picture of its potential for damage. The gas's impact varies according to the vegetation type - some species are more sensitive than others. Different amounts of ozone are taken up by different species through the pores in the leaf surface (stomata) under different climatic and soil conditions.
Through the ICP Vegetation programme, scientists have undertaken a comprehensive assessment of ozone's impacts on crops and natural ecosystems across Europe. Maps of stomatal flux were found to be better at predicting the occurrence of ozone damage to vegetation seen in the field than maps that were based on ozone concentration. Worryingly, the data gathered has confirmed that ozone levels in the air are harming vegetation across most of Europe: Ozone injury has been detected at every site in the pan-European network including in the UK.
You can read more about the experimental facilities here.
Following two international workshops in 2009-10 that were chaired by Dr Gina Mills of CEH, new critical levels for ozone were set. These levels were presented to the UN LRTAP Convention and have been incorporated into UN policy on transboundary air pollution. This has a direct impact on Food Security of the UK. As a result the critical levels for ozone were revised with the introduction of ten policy-relevant indicators based on the biologically relevant ozone flux to the leaf. The programme will assess the economic losses caused by ozone effects on crop yield in the UK. It is anticipated that the data analysis being conducted for this report will result in new climate-relevant critical levels. In addition, CEH undertake knowledge exchange activities to raise awareness of the problem directly with UK farmers.

Members of the 120-hour club reflect on their time dancing at Dance Marathon
Lauren Duquette/Daily Senior Staffer
Matthew Choi, Assistant Campus Editor
When Emily Halpern first signed up for Dance Marathon four years ago, she thought it was mandatory.
"Might as well get it over with my freshman year, and if I hate it, I never have to do it again," the Weinberg senior said.
She now is one of 111 seniors in the 120-hour club, she said, and wouldn't have it any other way.
The 120-hour club consists of seniors who have danced each of their four years at NU. Some planned on dancing all four years while for others, like Halpern, it just happened. While dancing her freshman year, Halpern realized DM is more than a fun activity, she said, and saw the community that arises from working for a common cause.
"Once you do it once, you realize how incredible it is and that's what fuels you to keep going," Halpern said. "You realize how amazing of an effort it is, and I think it's one of the only things on campus in which an entire community comes to surround one cause that's bigger than all of us, and that's what so powerful about DM."
Several motivators push students to join the 120-hour club. For McCormick senior David Olodort, gaining different positive experiences each year motivated him to continue dancing through his time at NU.
Olodort first signed up with his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, for Dance Marathon 2013. One of the emcees that year, Demetri Elias, was in his fraternity and encouraged him and his pledge class to participate. He knew from the beginning that he wanted to dance all four years, he said, and first appreciated the camaraderie with his fraternity-sorority team. Now he is a senior, and he values teaching new dancers on his team a love for DM and learning about the causes they work for.
"I don't think it was ever about the title of 120-hour club," Olodort said. "It's not like something you'd put on your resume or care about at the end of the day. Every year it became a more and more reflective experience for me, and so that's why I wanted to keep it to the end."
Sharing their love of DM with new dancers has been a tradition Olodort and McCormick senior Jack McCartney will always remember fondly, McCartney said. Olodort and McCartney are co-leaders of their fraternity-sorority team with Kappa Kappa Gamma.
"It has been a really cool experience in mentorship, and I'm beginning to realize how much more important it's been for me as I've gone through it over the years," Olodort said. "Now that I've been able to bond with those freshmen and hopefully instill in them, not just a love for DM, but much more importantly, this idea of fundraising on the community level and doing it with your friends or your family — I think it's really cool."
The mix of spending quality time with friends and working toward a good cause is what encourages McCormick senior Jason Vignolo to dance every year. Though he fundraises for months before DM, hearing about DM's impact from the beneficiaries is when it really hits home, Vignolo said.
"Someone from Blessings in a Backpack said she regularly has kids who are saying, 'Because of these backpacks, I get to eat on weekends or I get to sleep at night because I'm not hungry,'" Vignolo said. "That's obviously really nice to hear that you're indirectly doing something like that."
Several members of 120-hour club said keeping a positive attitude is the key to powering through the 30 hours each year. Vignolo said he reminds himself if he can get through the previous year, he can get through this one.
Olodort offered similar advice for new dancers. Though DM may have a reputation of being an unpleasant and grueling experience, he said that is often because people go in expecting a bad time.
"Of course if you're standing on your feet dancing for 30 hours, at some point you're going to feel tired, fatigued and in pain. That's a part of it," Olodort said. "If people approach it being optimistic and understanding that, yes, they're going to be tired, but they're doing it for a good cause, they're doing it with good friends, and they're going to be boosted up."

High-scoring Norwin hockey focusing on team defense
By: Joe Sager
Sunday, December 15, 2019 | 11:52 AM
Norwin's hockey team is confident it can put the puck in the net.
After all, the Knights offense ranked second in PIHL Class A with 60 goals through nine games.
Norwin's 29 goals against put it in the middle of the pack, but the team wants improvement.
"We have the offense down, but we want to focus on team defense," captain Jake Dally said. "We've been doing OK, but, looking at the opponents to come, we want to keep doing better to solidify our spot at the top of the league."
The Knights (8-1) are pleased with the play of regular defensemen Jacob Meyer, Devin Barrett, Nate Feczko, Nate Good and Ashton Yemc and goaltenders Sam Coll and Eric Miscampbell, who have shared duties.
"Our goaltenders have been working really hard as well as our defensemen," coach Adam Tokarski said. "They're doing a good job keeping guys to the outside."
The forwards coming back to help has been a point of emphasis.
"It's the role of the seniors to show the underclassmen how to do that and play as part of the team," Dally said. "It's getting better as the season progresses and the chemistry improves."
Improving defensive responsibility is one of the keys to the strong start.
"A lot of players underestimate backchecking, but it's one the more important parts of the game," Tokarski said. "When the younger players see one of the older guys do it, it'll make them get back and get that puck, too."
The team's top line of Mason Pivarnik, Logan Connelly and Dally sets the tone with its two-way game. The line produced 83 points through the first nine games.
"They are working really well together," Tokarski said. "They just have a knack for scoring."
Dally (10 goals, 18 assists) and Pivarnik (12, 16) were tied at 28 points, and Connelly (13, 14) was right behind with 27.
"I attribute a lot of my success to the wingers I have. It's just a solid line. We've continued to develop chemistry from last year throughout this year," Dally said. "It's a ton of fun to see us have success but also to see the other lines contribute and be successful as well."
The Knights hardly are a one-line team. Ten others have scored at least one goal, and all of its regular forwards have at least a point.
"It's nice to get some depth scoring every once in a while," Dally said.
The other lines have shifted throughout the season, too.
"They understand it's a long season," Tokarski said. "Every practice, they are trying to work on chemistry with other guys to be able to work with anyone on the ice because we know injuries are inevitable, and we'll need different people to step up at different times."
Norwin hopes to keep racking up points after the holiday break.
"The end goal is the Penguins Cup," Dally said. "But we want to take one game at a time since each team offers unique challenges to overcome."

You know it's time to diet when you push away from the table and the table moves.
Fun how well predication works. But then again, the drop is rather constant. Plus, each data point is the mean of measuring weight in the morning and evening (which sometimes deviate hugely — after all, it's warm and I drink a lot of water). And yeah, the graphic fucks with you — the y-axis starts with 75 kg (not even my target weight). This is one of those cases in which a manipulated y-axis is actually helpful. Otherwise, I would have quit after a few days.
It's wont go this way forever, I have a clear goal when I stop, but seeing the change was really important for my self-efficacy. I can actually actively influence my weight — at least for a while. Same with noticing just how strongly the weight measurement can vary — mostly depending on water intake. Two measurements per day help, but more would likely be better (more reliable).
Dashboard in Apple Numbers — showing the kcal balance and a few other pieces of information.
Of course, I did make some assumptions that are likely wrong, and some values will be off (most packaging does not mention the amount of fiber). I'm no nutritionist and it shows. This playing with my body is actually a just-for-fun project (it's for science, dammit ;-)).
huge tables of food and drinks with kcal and nutrition values (found online).

Designing our game by drawing a flow chart before programming. In this chapter, we will make the design for a Hangman game. This game is more complicated than our �... 13/06/2013�� Hello, I am fairly new to C# and I have this hangman game pretty much working. The only thing I need help with is adding "lives" to the game. Something which would exit the game if the player goes beyond their limit.
Create Your Own Hangman Game. Hangman is a popular game used by teachers to hone the vocabulary and spelling skills of their students. Offline, this educational game is played by drawing blank letters for the chosen word on a paper & letting players guess the letters.... So my first issue is that the first time errors > 1 the line is drawn but then disappear and reappear with the second line at errrors > 2. I don't know how I can make the first line stay on the frame.
The reason is bc you are blocking the main drawing loop with your while loop in line 40. Just comment it out and you will see the updating of the correct words happening as well as the hangman shape appearing as one keep missing the proper guess.
The variable stages is a list filled with strings you will use to draw your hangman. When Python prints each string in the stages list on a new line, a picture of a hangman forms. The variable rletters is a list containing each character in the variable word that keeps track of which letters are left to guess.
Instead of hangman, play melting snowman. Draw a snowman on the board. Every incorrect guess erases a body part. If there is still a snowman on the board at the end, the class wins.

The Book Thief Blu-ray Review
Actors: Sophie Nélisse, Kelly Macdonald, Michael Shannon, Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson
Format: AC-3, Blu-ray, Dolby, DTS Surround Sound, Dubbed, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen
Language: English (DTS 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1)
Dubbed: French, Spanish
Studio: 20th Century Fox
For a film about the Holocaust narrated by death, The Book Thief was less depressing than I was anticipating. It is still far from being a feel-good family film, but at least manages to handle the difficult subject manner with an adequate amount of restraint. This often comes at the expense of realism, blurring the lines between true story and fantasy more than is often permitted with this material, resulting in something mostly family-friendly despite difficult content.
The film follows a young orphaned girl named Liesel (Sophie Nélisse), who is adopted by a German couple (Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson) during World War II. She arrives illiterate and alone, but manages to make a number of friends in the war-torn community. Liesel is also forced to face large issues involving the war when she discovers her new parents are hoping for their own country to be defeated in the battles, even hiding an injured Jewish man named Max (Ben Schnetzer) in their basement.
If The Book Thief were the only reference, it would be a safe assumption that a majority of German people were against Hitler and the Nazi-regime. Despite the secrecy of Liesel's basement brother, it seems that most of her neighbors and classmates are sympathetic to the Jewish population being weeded out. There are exceptions, and these make for the film's easiest one-dimensional villains. In short, I would be more likely to recommend this film to a child being introduced to the horrors of the Holocaust than I would someone who has seen any previous attempts to depict the atrocity on film.
The Blu-ray release also comes with a digital copy and a handful of special features. There are a few deleted scenes, along with a four-part making-of featurette.
Entertainment Value: 8/10
Historical Significance: 5/10
Special Features: 6.5/10

Quick phrases feature now rolling out to Google Assistant
Oliver Cragg / Android Authority
The Google Assistant's quick set feature is now available on some Android devices.
The feature allows users to skip the "Ok / Hey Google" hotword to answer calls or close alarms.
There's no need to say hello to the Google Assistant before answering a call or closing an alarm. The voice assistant now has quick sentences, a feature that allows users to issue commands without saying "Hey Google".
As first described in September, quick phrases allow the Assistant to respond to commands without the need for a hotword. Above all, XDA developer describes how these commands can be as short as a word to control phone calls or alarms. For example, users can command "reply" or "decline" to incoming phone calls without additional wake-up prompts. The same goes for alarms. The barking of "Snooze" or "Stop" delays or cancels the ringtone. Google is also reportedly planning several additional commands to control music, timers, and smart home items, take notes, and set reminders.
It's an excellent addition for anyone looking for instant voice control or for those moments when devices are out of range. Of course, someone yelling "Please answer your phone" from across the room could accidentally answer your call. Mumbling that "slumber" while half asleep may not be a good way to get to work on time. Essentially, you want to use quick sentences with discretion.
See also: Basic Google Assistant Commands You Should Know
Those who use "Hey Google" to say hello to the Assistant may also find the new feature irritating. More than three in four readers in a recent survey admitted using "please" and "thank you" when talking to their voice assistants. Understandably, single word commands can be a little short for some.
XDAMishaal Rahman notes that the feature was spotted on a Pixel 3 XL running Android 12 Beta, but Google hasn't officially announced the feature's availability yet. However, we can expect fast sentences to be spread across more devices in the coming weeks.

Dobřenec () je malá vesnice, část města Mašťov v okrese Chomutov. Nachází se asi 3 km na jihozápad od Mašťova.

Dobřenec je také název katastrálního území o rozloze 4,91 km². V jižní části katastrálního území stávala malá vesnice Emanuelův Dvůr, která zanikla v sedmdesátých letech dvacátého století vysídlením.

Název
Název vesnice je zdrobněním odvozen z osobního jména Dobřeň, což také pravděpodobně byla původní varianta názvu osady. V historických pramenech se jméno vyskytuje ve tvarech: de Dobrsenz (1281), in Dobrzienczi (1401), in Dobrzinczi (1455), ve vsi Dobrzeny (1542), w Dobrženczy (1545), Doberencz (1593), Dobrzenicz (1615), Dobrentz (1654) nebo Dobrenz (1787).

Historie

První písemná zmínka o vesnici pochází z roku 1281 a zmiňuje ji jako sídlo Předoty z Dobřence (Pyrsedote de Dobrsenz). Do šestnáctého století vesnice patřila k mašťovskému panství, poté do sedmnáctého století k Doupovu a Neprobylicím. Podle berní ruly z roku 1654 žili ve vesnici po třicetileté válce jen čtyři sedláci a devět chalupníků, kteří obdělávali padesát strychů půdy a dalších osmdesát zůstávalo ladem. Měli celkem dvacet potahů a chovali jedenáct krav, 24 jalovic, třináct ovcí, 24 prasat a jedenáct koz. O sto let později zde kromě zemědělců pracovali také kovář, hrnčíř a mlynář v pronajatém panském mlýně. Ve čtyřicátých letech devatenáctého století měla vesnice 139 obyvatel, byla v ní hospoda a kaple Nejsvětější Trojice na návsi. Patřila také k významným producentům medu. Od roku 1732 Dobřenec tvořil součást krásnodvorského panství, u kterého zůstal až do zrušení patrimoniální správy.

Od roku 1850 patřil Dobřenec jako samostatná obec do doupovského okresu, ale o osmnáct let později byl převeden do okresu Kadaň. Jako místní část k němu patřil Emanuelův Dvůr a od roku 1869 také Konice. V padesátých letech dvacátého století obec ztratila samosprávu a stala se místní částí Podbořanského Rohozce a od roku 1961 patří k Mašťovu.

Po skončení druhé světové války byla většina obyvatel vystěhována a vesnici se nepovedlo dosídlit ani na polovinu předválečného stavu. Pokles počtu obyvatel pokračoval po zřízení vojenského újezdu Hradiště. Přestože byla ve vesnici postavena nová drůbežárna, kravín a mechanizační stanice zemědělské techniky, nedařilo se přilákat obyvatele ani výstavbou čtyř nových obytných domů. Život ve vesnici totiž znepříjemňovaly časté průjezdy zemědělských strojů a vojenské techniky, ale také nedostatek služeb. V roce 1969 zde fungoval jen kiosek s občerstvením a jídelna státního statku. Prodej běžného zboží zajišťovala pojízdná prodejna, která přijížděla jen dvakrát týdně.

Jalový Dvůr
K Dobřenci patřil také Jalový Dvůr () zmiňovaný již v roce 1455, jehož zříceniny se nachází necelý jeden kilometr na severovýchod od vesnice (již v katastrálním území Sedlec u Radonic). Kromě vlastního hospodářského dvora zde stál další obytný dům a v roce 1930 v nich žilo celkem deset lidí.

Přírodní poměry
Jižně od vesnice protéká potok Leska, jehož voda částečně napájí Dobřenecký rybník. Rybník poskytuje útočiště bohaté populaci obojživelníků (kuňka obecná, skokan ostronosý) a řadě ptačích druhů. Z nich se vyskytují hýl rudý, moták pochop, rákosník velký, orlovec říční, potápka černokrká a bukač velký.

Obyvatelstvo
Při sčítání lidu v roce 1921 zde žilo 147 obyvatel (z toho 69 mužů), kteří byli kromě dvou cizinců německé národnosti a všichni patřili k římskokatolické církvi. Podle sčítání lidu z roku 1930 měla vesnice 146 obyvatel německé národnosti a římskokatolického vyznání.

Pamětihodnosti
Dobřenec patří k malému počtu vesnic v oblasti Doupovských hor, které se dochovaly, i přes demolici zástavby na jižní straně návsi, v relativně nenarušené podobě. Jádrem vsi je protáhlá trojúhelníková náves, jejíž západní stranu uzavíral druhotně rozparcelovaný hospodářský dvůr (čp. 1, 19 a 24). Rozděleny byly také některé usedlosti na severní straně návsi. Drobnější chalupnická zástavba zaujala parcely podél cest na východním i západním konci vesnice.

Nejstaršími domy se zděným přízemím a hrázděným patrem jsou usedlosti čp. 11 a 23. Mladší zděná zástavba pochází ze druhé poloviny devatenáctého století a první třetiny dvacátého století. Z ní vyniká dům čp. 6 s eklektickou výzdobou štítového průčelí. Hmotový rozsah a částečně i střídmé fasády se dochovaly na domech čp. 4, 5, 17, 25, 26 a 27. U některých usedlostí se zachovaly hospodářské stavby postavené z místního čediče a výjimečně i pilířové stodoly.

Na návsi stojí kaple Nejsvětější Trojice s obdélníkovým půdorysem, barokním portálem a věžičkou vybíhající z hřebenu střechy.

Man Has Dinner With His Future Mother-In-Law, Then She Uncovers 20 Year Secret
By Christina Cordova
There are some couple's who know they're meant to be together, others who believe that they were destined to be together and then there is Ed and Heidi Savitt.
The young couple first met in 2011, back when they were both students at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. Ed had moved into a student house that Heidi had previously occupied, and he needed help with the dryer, so he texted Heidi to see how to get it to work. Since that fateful text was sent, they became inseparable, and eventually, their courtship led to wedding bells. They got married this past summer, at the young age of 26.
Facebook/Heidi Alice Savitt Source: Facebook/Heidi Alice Savitt
However, their story had only just begun.
Apparently, when Heidi's mom, Kay Parker, first met Ed, she got a suspicious sensation that she knew him somehow. There was something about him that she just couldn't put her finger on, and try as she might, she couldn't figure out what that thing was. She wanted to get to the bottom of it, so she decided to put out her feelers.
At a dinner party in which Ed's mom, Fiona, was also attending, Kay decided to mention in passing a story about a family sailing trip to Turkey when Heidi was just 6. Heidi had a cute "holiday boyfriend," Kay recalled, one whose name also happened to be Ed. "The two cuties played together and held hands during the entire two-week break in Turkey!" she exclaimed! Though Fiona did agree that it was a coincidence and even smashed her wineglass at the name thing, she didn't give it much thought for the rest of the night. Kay, however, did, and when she got home, she decided she was going to get to the bottom of this once and for all.
The next day, Kay went digging in the attic for old photographs of Heidi. In her stack of Heidi photos, she found something she would never have expected: a photo of Heidi and Ed taken 20 years earlier. Kay showed Heidi, who had forgotten about her childhood romance (as most children do), what she'd uncovered, and Heidi's eyes went wide with surprise.
Facebook/Preston Local News Source: Facebook/Preston Local News
Standing next to her was six-year-old Ed, and his face was still recognizable even with his adorably unfashionable bowl haircut. Heidi told the Daily Mail:
"I was screaming, it was just unreal. It's crazy to think we could have got married, shared our lives together, but then never found out about this."
And when Kay showed Fiona what she'd found, the groom's mother shrieked and yelled, "Oh my goodness, that's Ed!"
Heidi, who never put much stock in fate, has since changed her stance. As evidenced by the photograph, taken 20 years earlier, it became clear to Heidi that fate must have worked its magic and brought her and Ed together.
Kay believes that when Heidi and Ed met all those years later at the university, they must have somehow realized that they had met before and that they shared an incredible experience together, which she believes is what likely drove them together. Heidi agrees, and she says that the moment she met Ed, she knew he was the one.
Heidi and Ed's incredible story proves that fate has a way of bringing people together, even if it does take 20 years to do so.

Next time you're strolling by the Boardwalk pizza window at Disney World, feel free to stop by for a meal using your Disney Dining Plan credits!
Dine at nearby outdoor tables or get your Boardwalk meal to go.
Let us know if you'll use your dining credits at the Boardwalk Pizza Window! We want to hear your comments — chime in below!
Not that I use the dining plan, but I love me some Boardwalk Pizza!
I really did not like the pizza from Boardwalk the last two times we went. I even ordered a whole pizza last time. I have enjoyed it in the past but not the last two times….
Pizza – talking my language now. I didn't get over to sample on my last WDW trip. How did that NOT happen?!!
Deej — Ha ha! You're a fan of the BW pizza eh?
Bret — Thanks for the review. I think I'm even less likely to get it now that Via Napoli is so close by.
CM — I know! The calzones were awesome!
question… how big is the pie? How many slices is it cut into? where does it fall on the wdw pizza scale? with pizza planet being on one end of the scale and via napoli holding down the other side of the scale? I will leave it up to you to assign the values to the scale. Thanks!
Depending on the size of the pizza, the 2 CS credits for a whole pizza doesn't seem like a bad deal, expecially when you consider getting one delivered to your room in the value resorts will cost you 2 TS credits.
Seriously can use 2 QS credits for a whole pizza? Is that a full-sized pizza? That's SO much more food than using 1 QS credit for just a slice! I'll definitely do that if it's a full-sized pizza, since I'll be with someone I can share it with!
They are open 12 noon to 12 midnight according to the menu in the photo above.

It is so imporant to have Eavestrough cleaning / gutter cleaning regularly done. The trees in Ajax mature and quickly cause the eavestrough / gutter system to require cleaning.

Have you ever looked into a simple eavestrough repair / gutter repair in Ajax and been recommended that everything be replaced? Not too many companies want to bother with eavestourgh / gutter repairs, especially for smaller locations like Ajax. There is more money to be made replacing versus repairing the eavestroughs / gutters. If you do prefer to have them repaired, expect a very high eavestrough / gutter repair price tag.

There are very, very few decent Eavestrough protection / gutter guard systems on the market for Ajax residents. Most just do not work well at all.

Did you know that different types of debris require a different type of eavestrough / gutter guard? There is no perfect product for every situation. Toronto Clear View Window Cleaning has been selected and trusted to install an exclusive, patented eavestrough / gutter protection system made in the United States where they too have four extreme seasons. There is a version that can do what you need them to do. The best part is that Toronto Clear View Window Cleaning charges 50% less than the Suggested Retail Price!

Abetti est un cratère d'impact sur la face visible de la Lune qui a la particularité d'avoir été submergé par une mare lunaire. Il a donc l'aspect d'un cratère fantôme, n'est visible que par sa couronne qui forme une légère excroissance en forme d'anneau à la surface de la Lune. Le nom fut officiellement adopté par l'Union astronomique internationale (UAI) en 1976, en référence à Antonio Abetti (1846-1928) et Giorgio Abetti (1882-1982).

Localisation

Cratères satellites
Les cratères dits satellites sont de petits cratères situés à proximité du cratère principal, ils sont nommés du même nom mais accompagnés d'une lettre majuscule complémentaire (même si la formation de ces cratères est indépendante de la formation du cratère principal). Par convention, ces caractéristiques sont indiquées sur les cartes lunaires en plaçant la lettre sur le point le plus proche du cratère principal. Liste des cratères satellites de Abetti :

As Malaysia's government responded to the 1997–98 financial crisis, the global financial community criticised its measures as bail outs for politically-influential corporate interests. When the economy recovered strongly in 1999 and 2000, Malaysian leaders claimed that their policies, including the capital controls so widely criticised at the time, were in fact responsible for recovery. This book sets the record straight: refuting both sets of claims, and bringing a refreshing new perspective on the crisis and its aftermath. With clear and concise arguments, this book sheds new light on the Asian crisis and government policy responses, with emphases on its capital controls as well as corporate, bank and debt restructuring exercises. Written in accessible prose, together with chronologies of events and case studies, this book will appeal to general readers and those who wish to better understand economic policy issues in Malaysia and the region.

Peruvian farmer sues German utility RWE over dangers related to glacial melting
For the first time, a company responsible for climate change faces legal charges in Europe
Today, the Peruvian farmer and mountain guide Saúl Luciano Lliuya is filing a lawsuit against the German utility RWE at the Regional Court in Essen, Germany. The reason: The energy company's immense emissions threaten his family, his property as well as a large part of his home city of Huaraz. Climate change has caused the glacial lake to quickly grow in size, making it a risk for the Andean city of 120,000.

G7 leaders have a chance to create climate of confidence on energy transition
G7 Summit: NGOs to leaders
On the eve of the G7 Summit in Elmau, Germany, NGOs from all seven member countries call on their leaders to send a strong signal that the era of fossil fuels is over. As the world's largest industrialised countries, the G7 have a global responsibility to go further and faster to address climate change through rapid decarbonisation of their economies and providing support to the poorest.
Melting glaciers: Peruvian requests German utility RWE to pay for protective measures
It is the first time in Europe that one of the world's largest polluters is prompted to pay for the safety of a person at risk of climate change consequences
A person affected by climate change has made the unprecedented move to launch a claim against a European carbon major, demanding that the company contribute to urgently needed protective measures: Peruvian citizen Saúl Luciano Lliuya, with the help of the renowned environmental lawyer Dr. Roda Verheyen (Hamburg), demands payment for safety works from German utility RWE. Mr Luciano Lliuya's property as well as large parts of his hometown Huaraz are prone to a so-called glacial lake outburst flood from Lake Palcacocha located upstream from the city.
Climate Change Performance Index: Global Shift Needs Further Action
Global CO2 emissions rise at lower rates, giving some reason to hope for limiting climate change | Canada and Australia worst performers of all industrialised countries
Global emissions have reached a new peak, but recent developments indicate a new readiness for action on climate protection. This is the message of the 10th edition of the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI); a ranking of the climate protection performance of the 58 highest emitters worldwide published by Germanwatch and CAN Europe at the UN Climate Conference in Lima today. "We see global trends, indicating promising shifts in some of the most relevant sectors for climate protection", said Jan Burck (Germanwatch), author of the Index.
New Climate Action Programme: Germany taking emissions reduction seriously again
Still, several open questions need to be clarified
Germanwatch views a new landmark decision by the German federal government as a crucial but not entirely sufficient signal towards the UN climate negotiations in Lima/Peru. Today, the German federal government decided upon additional emission reduction measures that shall guarantee that Germany reaches its 2020 greenhouse gas reduction goal of 40% below the 1990 level.
Global Climate Risk Index 2015: Philippines, Cambodia and India most affected during the last year
Germanwatch launches the Index at the onset of the Climate Summit in Lima: Countries of the host region among the most distressed by extreme events
The Philippines, Cambodia and India were most affected by extreme weather events in 2013. This is the result of this year's Global Climate Risk Index, presented by Germanwatch. "We all remember the images of the catastrophic Typhoon Haiyan, which wiped out entire regions and took the lives of more than 6000," said Sönke Kreft, author of the study and Team Leader for International Climate Policy at Germanwatch. "Climate change must be controlled so that the future will not bring more of these record-breaking catastrophes."
Climate Change Performance Index: Emissions are rising - but there is a glimmer of hope
Canada and Australia are the worst performers of all industrialised countries
The new edition of the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) was released by Germanwatch and CAN Europe in Warsaw at the UN climate talks today. The results show emissions worldwide have climbed to a new peak and no single country is yet on track to prevent dangerous climate change. "Unexpectedly, for the first time our Index also draws a cautious picture of hope", says Jan Burck, the author of the Index that ranks the climate protection performance of the 58 highest emitters worldwide. "We see positive signals towards a slow down in the increase in global CO2 emissions. And China - the world's biggest emitter - improved its performance in climate protection."
Germanwatch Climate Risk Index 2014: Haiti, Philippines and Pakistan most affected
Major share of economic and human burden of weather catastrophes on developing countries (press release english)
Overshadowed by the ongoing human catastrophe in the Philippines, Germanwatch presented the 9th annual Global Climate Risk Index at the onset of the Climate Summit in Warsaw. "The index shows that the most severe weather related catastrophes in 2012 occurred in Haiti, Philippines and Pakistan", says Sönke Kreft, Team Leader International Climate Policy at Germanwatch and co-author of the index. "The landfall of Hurricane Sandy in the US dominated international news in October 2012. Yet, it was Haiti - the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere - that suffered the greatest losses from the same event."
High Emissions - Low Ambitions
Germanwatch's Climate Change Performance Index published at Doha's climate talks
In a time of heavily increasing greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel investments, the light at the end of the tunnel cannot yet be seen. The eighth annual Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), which was published at the Doha climate talks today by Germanwatch and the Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, ranks the climate protection performance of the 58 highest emitters worldwide. For the first time, the index used deforestation data, which resulted in a rankings drop of countries with high forest emissions such as Brazil and Indonesia. Once again, no country made it into the first three spots on the list due to a lack of ambition to reach the goal of keeping global warming below 2 degree Celsius.

Loss and damage from extreme weather events: Asian developing countries hit hardest in 2011
Germanwatch publishes new Global Climate Risk Index at COP18 in Doha
Most damages resulting from weather extremes are often not recognised by international media, unlike Sandy's destruction at the U.S. east coast a few weeks ago. But in 2011, poorer developing countries have been hit much harder in average, according to the new edition of the Germanwatch Global Climate Risk Index. The ranking, which was presented today at the UN climate summit in Doha, concludes that Thailand, Cambodia, Pakistan and El Salvador are on top of those countries that suffered most from extreme weather events in 2011.

Q: Latest version of RSelenium and Firefox When I try to open the RSelenium I receive this error
[1] "Connecting to remote server"
Error:   Summary: UnknownError
     Detail: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
     class: org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException

The version of Firefox I have is
Firefox version: 480b10

According to this I tried to update the server version
library("RSelenium")
startServer()
unlink(system.file("bin", package = "RSelenium"), recursive = T)
checkForServer(update = TRUE)
remDr <- remoteDriver()
Sys.sleep(5)
remDr$open()
Sys.sleep(5)

but the problem still exist. Does anyone face this problem? Any possible solution?

A: From Firefox 48 on-wards the gecko driver/ marionette will be needed to run Firefox with Selenium.
If you have Firefox 48 you can run the gecko driver as follows:
Refer to the guidelines

*

*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/WebDriver

*Download the relevant gecko driver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

*Add it to your PATH or refer to the location when starting binary (see below)

# get beta selenium standalone

RSelenium::checkForServer(beta = TRUE)
# assume gecko driver is not in our path (assume windows and we downloaded to docs folder)
# if the driver is in your PATH the javaargs call is not needed
selServ <- RSelenium::startServer(javaargs = c("-Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=\"C:/Users/john/Documents/geckodriver.exe\""))
remDr <- remoteDriver(extraCapabilities = list(marionette = TRUE))
remDr$open()
....
....
remDr$close()
selServ$stop()

The above currently requires the dev version of RSelenium. Alternatively you can download the Selenium binary from http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html . Pick the 3.0 beta 2 binary to currently run with Firefox 48. Run the binary
java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=C:/Users/john/Documents/geckodriver.exe -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0-beta2.jar

If you followed the Super Bowl this year you know that the opposing head coaches were brothers.
Made the game a little more interesting for us lady-folk who don't normally follow along throughout the season.
And it made our days events a little more entertaining as well...though it was all pretty exciting without the added twist.
The hubs and his little brother got together a bunch of guys for some pre-pro-game-flag-football-action. The sidelines were filled with fans and little boys who were playing there own versoin of the game. Some voting took place for best players, best play, etc. And T-shirts were handed out to commemorate the affair.
Of course we had to wrap things up with too much food and a fabulous Superbowl get together with a tiny bit of wagering, on the important things like "will Beyonce's hair be crimped, straight, or curly?".
Hats of to the hubs and his bro...they put the whole thing together.
i can hear the suppression in your voice as you downplay how "adorable" this little event was. you are right to do so...this must become a tradition! so sad i couldn't be at one little part of it but i did predict that Beyonce's hair was crimped...i took the point, though it was a bit of the stretch. love this pics...thank you!!

Review: Family on Screen: The Wind in the Willows
To provide some escapism and light relief from the prevailing news reports surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, the producers of the West End 2017 production of The Wind in the Willows are streaming the show online for free. Whilst I appreciate the attempt to bring the magic of theatre to the comfort of one's home, this production with its bumpy and dull storyline and unlikeable, arrogant protagonist, partnered with buffering Wi-Fi, leaves something to be desired.

Review: Dear Evan Hansen @ Noël Coward Theatre, West End
"Dear Evan Hansen,
Today is going to be a good day and here's why…"
After winning six Tony Awards in 2017, a West End run for Dear Evan Hansen became a highly anticipated inevitability – even more so because it's a creation of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the minds behind La La Land and The Greatest Showman. The show grapples with teen suicide and mental health by following Evan Hansen, a lonely high-schooler with (nearly) crippling social anxiety, whose bully, Connor Murphy, kills himself. Through unfortunate coincidence, Evan is caught up in the aftermath when Murphy's parents are convinced he was their son's best friend. He falls into perpetuating and expanding this fabrication of friendship as he grows closer to the family, goes viral online, and his dreams start to come true. But with everything built on the world wide web of lies, can Evan handle it? Continue reading Review: Dear Evan Hansen @ Noël Coward Theatre, West End

Retreating to the pages of a good book, it is widely acknowledged, can provide the reader with a welcome escape from the stresses of the world. It is an aid to making sense of the chaos, and it seems that in today's climate, against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and political upheaval, the life-affirming power of reading has never been so vital. It is no coincidence that book sales rose by eight per cent to £3 billion in the UK last year, reportedly the highest level since 2012 – people are looking for authenticity, the reassurance of the familiar. Indeed, in spite of the seemingly inexorable march of new technology and all the advances that have been made in the digital sphere, our emotional attachment to the tactility and smell of a weighty tome is not to be underestimated.
Blackwell argues that the growing appeal of farmers' markets, of the foraging of food and the sourcing of ingredients, of the resurgence of vinyl and our current predilection for bare wooden floorboards and exposed materials in interiors, is a statement about the current state of the world. And given that we spend much of our lives poring over digital screens, communicating in a virtual bubble, is it any wonder that we crave the antithesis of this?
"Find me 500 books that say something about me or my property"
Blackwell's bias is perhaps understandable given his family's connection to books. Set up in 1879 by Philip Blackwell's great-grandfather, Blackwell's in Oxford has faithfully served scholars as an academic and specialist book retailer for more than 150 years, establishing a room in its basement that has been accredited as housing the world's largest single display of books. The Blackwell family is still involved in the business, although Philip himself stood down as CEO of the bookselling arm in 2006. Put on two years' gardening leave, Blackwell decided to travel and it was while luxuriating in some of the most amazing hotels in the world that the entrepreneur hit upon his next business idea – Ultimate Library.
Fascinated by the ability of authors to provide their readers with a sense of place, Blackwell began to hunt out such literature in the libraries of hotels he was staying in and ended up sorely disappointed. With that, the seed for Ultimate Library was sown, and the company now helps hotels, resorts, private residences and retail spaces build bespoke book collections that reflect their local neighbourhood.
To ensure that a book collection makes the correct statement and reflects what Blackwell likes to call 'intelligent luxury', Ultimate Library ensures that a percentage of the books it provides are used or second-hand. Not only does this add an air of authenticity but, as Blackwell points out, there are great books that are no longer in print which can only be bought second-hand.
One final particularly pleasing aspect of the business is that Ultimate Library also engages on a philanthropic level, working with hotels and resorts to identify schools and projects in their local community that might benefit from a donation of books. It is a scheme Blackwell is keen to extend to the private clients he works with, offering those who are cash-rich but time-poor an opportunity to give something back in a meaningful way.
A noble dream perhaps, but one that, given the growth of Ultimate Library, seems entirely achievable.

Q: UI templating library built in LitElement I'm looking for a UI components/templating library that's built with LitElement. I've already checked Aybolit (https://github.com/web-padawan/aybolit) but it has very limited number of components. I need a library like Carbon design systems but built with LitElement.
If there's any library that is Lightweight, Built with LitElement and have a considerable number of components available then please do suggest.

A: It really shouldn't matter whether web components are implemented with LitElement if they meet your other requirements. If Carbon had a set of standard, interoperable web components built with another library, they should be fine to use from within components built with LitElement.
As it turns out though, Carbon's web components implementation is built with LitElement : https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-custom-elements
Does that work for you?

A: The best library by far done with lit-element and lightweight is Material

Best of Carson City
Lahontan Valley
Obituary: Edwin (Eddie) Henry Haase
Ed was born and raised in Carson Valley to Henry and Alice Haase on May 4, 1935. He was a truck driver for Bing Materials for nearly 40 years. A man of few words, his love and dedication for the ranch, the valley, his family and friends spoke volumes. When he wasn't driving a truck he was cutting hay and endless other tasks required at his at Circle H Ranch in Gardnerville. Ed was a Charter member of the Douglas County Sheriff's Posse and assisted in countless search and rescues. He served in the national guard. Ed could build, fix and repair anything, he and son Derik could be found almost every weekend building or repairing something in the garage on the ranch. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and never missed opening day at Topaz Lake. He is survived by wife, Sue Haase, married 45 years; son, Derik Henry Haase; granddaughter Lea Haase; sisters, Irene Marshall and Katherine Custis, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Debby Byers.
On be-half of Sue, son, Derik and the rest of the family, we would like to invite you to a celebration of Ed's life this Saturday at 11AM at the 3/4 Circle H Ranch, 1350 Dresslerville Rd. Gardnerville 89410. It will be a pot-luck, so bring a dish if you have time. We will be outside, in the pasture area, just like Ed would want it.

Part two of the ALLIANZ trilogy takes place this week with the top nine on the Challenge Tour Rankings, led by current Number One Andrew Butterfield, heading the field assembled for the ALLIANZ EurOpen de Lyon.
Three years ago Julien Guerrier was preparing the Open Championship where lined up alongside Henrik Stenson and Adam Scott. This week, at the ALLIANZ EurOpen de Lyon, he hopes to take another step towards joining them on The European Tour.
Frenchman Alexandre Kaleka launched his professional career with a stunning eight under par 63 to share the early first round lead with Scot Andrew McArthur in the ALLIANZ EurOpen de Lyon.


One of the foundational fraud challenges that an institution faces — identity proofing — must be tailored to the risks inherent in the channel, market, product type, scenario, and threat environment. In the complex financial ecosystem of 2017, a bifurcated model of identity verification and authentication fails to meet the needs of accountholders or financial institutions. Accordingly, a much more holistic approach is needed to take into account a richer array of context around the identity and behavior of the consumer. In this report, Javelin examines how FIs can best manage identity proofing across different key use cases and provides a guide for selecting the most effective identity proofing platform based on functionality, innovation, and the ability to tailor the product to the needs of the business.
How can financial institutions effectively manage identity throughout the entire customer lifecycle?
What factors should financial institutions take into account when designing their identity proofing process?
How are fraudsters adapting their tactics to circumvent current anti-fraud measures?
What identity proofing vendors offer the widest array of capabilities suited to addressing current and emerging fraud threats?
For this scorecard, Javelin included 23 vendors that agreed to participate and complete a self-evaluation with details around their submitted products' capabilities in verifying the identity of individuals both at account opening and throughout the customer relationship. For vendors with multiple products, only those that were submitted and relevant to identity proofing were considered in the scorecard. Javelin independently verified vendor capabilities against publicly available information, where it was available. Rankings are not a reflection of the full breadth of capabilities of any particular vendor.
Each criteria in the scorecard was weighted according to Javelin's assessment of its relevance in addressing current and emerging fraud schemes, as well as its ability to facilitate positive customer experience in digital channels. Overall score was calculated as a composite of the three categories, with Functional accounting for 60% of total points, Innovative accounting for 20%, Tailored accounting for 20%.
