Useful facts
With over half a million inhabitants, Leipzig is one of the two largest cities (along with Dresden) in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. In its 800 years of recorded history, Leipzig emerged as a city of classical music, trade fairs, academic education, and - recently - modern arts. Due to its rich cultural heritage, Leipzig today presents itself as a confident and genuinely international city at the heart of eastern Germany. This truly international approach manifests itself in all layers of life, ranging from the warm welcome Leipzig's citizens tend to give their international guests to renowned institutions like the Leipzig International School.
Famous musicians like Johann Sebastian Bach, Robert Schumann, and Felix Mendelssohn were active in Leipzig. You can still see their influence in town, for example in St. Thomas Church where Bach worked as choirmaster of the church's Boys Choir between 1723 and 1750, and where, today, the famous Thomaner Choir still performs his works twice a week.
Leipzig's reputation as a city of trade fairs looks back on more than 500 years of history: In 1997, the fair proudly celebrated the 500th anniversary of being granted the "Imperial Right to Hold Trade Fairs". Always a prosperous town, Leipzig had emerged as one of the wealthiest cities in Germany by the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the Leipzig Book Fair and the International Automobile Fair are amongst the most popular and internationally successful annual trade fairs of the city.
Several universities, colleges, and academies make Leipzig a very attractive city to study and work. Founded in 1409, Leipzig University has produced numerous notable individuals like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, Richard Wagner, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Werner Heisenberg. Today, the staff and student body at the University exceeds 35,000. Leipzig further hosts the University of Applied Sciences 'HTWK' and the Academy of Visual Arts 'HGB', as well as several non-university research institutes - including three different Max Planck Institutes.
Economically, Leipzig is an important logistical center, with its infrastructural location at the very center of Europe, and with access to an international airport, railway system, and motorways. Significant industry has settled near Leipzig, including Amazon, BMW and DHL.
During recent years, Leipzig has also become the center of modern art in Europe. Leipzig's old Baumwollspinnerei district - formerly the biggest cotton mill of continental Europe - today houses more than eighty artists and many galleries, providing the heart of the versatile modern art scene of the city. Famous representatives of Leipzig's impressive recent impact upon modern art, commonly named 'New Leipzig School of Painting', include Neo Rauch and several of his students from the Leipzig Academy.
With its many parks, forests, canals and lakes, Leipzig is a perfect place for recreation, sports, and leisure time, and offers plenty of opportunities for social life. Your life in this lovely city will be full of surprises - as Goethe put it more lyrically exactly 200 years ago: 'My Leipzig's dear to me! It's a little Paris, and educates its people.'

Welcome back to the newly launched website; From High Heels to High Chairs. After a lot of love from Crisp Digital, here we are and excited to be back!
From High Heels to High Chairs was born in 2016, 18-months after the birth of my first child and only 4 months after the arrival of baby number 2.
Before kids, in my "High Heels" days, I had many illusions on what parenting might look like. I had the privilege of being a step mum to 2 boys (now 20 and 15 years old), I'd had a successful career in IT and I had, shortly before, embarked upon a childhood dream of becoming a lawyer, which I loved. I was in control. The Husband and I enjoyed nights out, a tidy home and at least one holiday a year stepchild-free and travelling light. I also had plenty of high heels as I had no need to run after small children (or at all in fact, other than in the gym – I had time to do that too!) and handbags that were perfectly suited just to my own belongings without the need for baby wipes, nappies or poop bags!
Not to just throw another parenting blog into the mix (although that's exactly what this is), I always felt that there was a space for an honest account of parenting experiences whilst juggling work and running a business, kids, a husband, social life and a household. Having always been a little reserved on how I'm feeling/doing, motherhood has rather bought me down to earth, with a bump (to say the least) and taught me, amongst many other things, humility!
There are up days, there are down days and there is everything in between. I realise now that my expectations of motherhood were a far reach from the realities and that I was clearly on my own planet! Some days, I'm very happy there. Some days I feel like I've got it nailed, on others I wonder how much therapy my children will need once they're adults. Some days I just want to cry about nothing in particular but through exhaustion, exasperation, excitement, or just because someone says something nice! And all in between running a business, a household, a Husband!
So, with all that mind, here you'll find my musings. Perhaps it'll be therapy (for me), some camaraderie (for us all), tips and tricks, business, shopping, travel and food. Lots and lots of food (I love to cook and eat!). And whatever else takes my fancy on this journey of enlightenment and self-discovery that is motherhood!

Migraine remains one of the biggest clinical case to be solved among the non-communicable diseases, second to low back pain for disability caused as reported by the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016. Despite this, its genetics roots are still unknown. Its evolution in chronic forms hits 2–4% of the population and causes a form so far defined Medication Overuse Headache (MOH), whose pathophysiological basis have not been explained by many dedicated studies. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 has not recognized MOH as independent entity, but as a sequela of Chronic Migraine. This concept, already reported in previous studies, has been confirmed by the efficacy of OnabotulinumtoxinA in Chronic Migraine independently from the presence of MOH. The consistency of the current definitions of both Medication Overuse Headache and Chronic Migraine itself might be re-read on the basis of new evidences.

Aftermath 2017 (1): JOWST giving Norway back their pride
In the upcoming days, we take a look at the aftermath of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. After not reaching the final in Stockholm, Norway has booked a top 10 place once again. JOWST gave the Norwegians back their pride at Eurovision.
Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Norway has finished in the top ten six times. However, after the disappointing result of Agnete, this one felt really necessary. Before Eurovision, JOWST already told us: "Last year there was a lot a attention by the press. The song was really good, but it was unfortunate that she got sick. But now Norway is back again, we are happy to be here and grab the moment."
With 189 points and a fifth place in the semi final, qualification turned out to never be a question this year. The icing on the cake came in the final, where Norway sneaked up above The Netherlands for a top 10 result.
After returning home Aleksander Walman and JOWST told that once they heard that they were able to reach a tenth place, they were initially a little disappointed. But the feeling was replaced by a pride in landing among the top ten when they realized that Portugal won. Salvador Sobral made a strong impression on them. They were very touched when it was performed.
"We have both had a dream of standing on stage and performing music," they say. Now they are going to work on a new song. "When we woke up, we discovered that our song was on a eighth spot on Spotify in Norway and in a twelfth spot on Spotify in Lithuania and also a good location in Iceland. He thinks it's fun that the song has been downloaded outside Norway as well."

BPU Awarded Money For Its Manufacturing Clean Energy Proposal
WNYNewsNow Stock Image.JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU) has been awarded $750,000 in support by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) for its "Manufacturing Clean Energy in the Southern Tier" proposal. Officials say the BPU-led program is designed to facilitate innovation focusing on climate technology company formation, enhance regional workforce development, create jobs in the growing sector and strengthen connections among manufacturers across the Western Southern Tier counties of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany.Awarded under NYSERDA's "Accelerate the Southern Tier" program opportunity, which seeks to boost the formation and growth of early-stage innovation in the Southern Tier to help New York State advance its climate and clean energy goals and continues development of the region to help foster growth of climate technology businesses."We are very pleased that New York State leadership recognizes that significant investment in climate technology manufacturing will benefit existing Jamestown-area companies as well as to help attract new companies to the region," says BPU General Manager David Leathers. "This BPU-led program supports our western New York legacy as a manufacturing powerhouse in the State and speaks to our potential as a climate technology manufacturing resource for decades to come." The Manufacturing Clean Energy in the Southern Tier project will encompass four initiatives:Climate Technology Studies designed to evaluate the regional and individual manufacturer's potential to enter the climate technology manufacturing market in the Western Southern Tier.Climate Technology Workforce Development which will augment training and educational programming at Jamestown Community College.Climate Technology Manufacturing Conference and Tradeshow held in Jamestown and designed to attract manufacturing interests from across the country. The campaign promoting the Western Southern Tier's status as a climate technology manufacturing hub for the expanding domestic supply chain."Climate technology businesses provide a bright future for innovative manufacturers and, in the Western Southern Tier, we're poised to capitalize on that future," adds Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist. "The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities stands as one of the most important economic development assets in our region. With our partners, this award will help us identify our shared potential to augment climate technology manufacturing, promote the region as a climate technology 'hub' and contribute locally to a 21st Century workforce.""Jamestown and Chautauqua County businesses can only benefit from a program designed to augment our successful local companies and attract new partners, new ideas and new investment," states Todd Tranum, Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce president and chief executive officer. "Doing so now, at a time of critical need for our region, exemplifies our relentless determination to build a better future.""The Gebbie Foundation looks forward to being a part of bringing a Climate Technology Conference and Tradeshow to the Jamestown area as soon as it is safe and prudent to do so," says Greg Edwards, Chief Executive Officer at the Gebbie Foundation. "In keeping with the Foundation's strategic focus of revitalizing downtown Jamestown, we invest in community and economic development projects such as this, that draw further investment from public and private partners. By becoming known as an ideal conference and convention location, we can attract people to our region to experience all the area has to offer."This effort complements New York State's national-leading climate and clean energy goals as outlined in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act to lower greenhouse gas emissions 85 percent by 2050. The Accelerate Southern Tier Awards complements other State innovation and economic development initiatives such as the 76West Clean Energy Business Competition and Southern Tier Soaring.76West recently awarded $2.5 million to four companies, to expand operations in the region, and previous competition finalists and semifinalists have successfully integrated themselves, raising $51 million in private capital, making multimillion-dollar investments in property and equipment in the region while spending more than $1.7 million on key suppliers.Workforce training through Jamestown Community College (JCC) will increase the number of available skilled workers with knowledge of clean energy-specific technologies."Jamestown Community College is pleased to be part of the Manufacturing the Climate Technology Future in the Southern Tier consortium in partnership with the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities, which calls for a four-pronged initiative designed to facilitate climate technology company formation, growth, recruitment, and job creation across the Western Southern Tier counties," says JCC President Daniel DeMarte."JCC's specific role in this initiative," continues DeMarte, "is to develop a Climate Technology program comprised of fundamental courses in residential and commercial electricity as well as more advanced offerings in Building Automation Systems focusing on the installation, repair, and maintenance of computer-based systems designed to control a building's mechanical and electrical equipment including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and energy management systems. Courses will be available beginning fall 2021."Students in JCC's program can also benefit from scholarship support from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation (CRCF)."The CRCF is proud of its heritage administering over 300 scholarship funds to local students," explains the Foundation's Executive Director, Tory Irgang. "This partnership will offer our local students access to unique training and education for good paying jobs in this growing sector of our economy."The intended impact from the program will extend beyond Jamestown's borders across Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties."With more Americans working in climate technology-related industries than ever before, job growth in this sector continues to exceed expectations," notes Mark Geise, Deputy County Executive for Economic Development and CEO of the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA). "The CCIDA and our counterparts in the Western Southern Tier—a region with more than 330 manufacturers responsible for more than $7.5 billion dollars of commerce—see tremendous value in making smart investments in climate technology manufacturing."Boosting manufacturers across the three counties is a significant goal of the program. Through individual manufacturing studies evaluating value-added investments in climate technology to a conference and tradeshow event meant to connect local firms with national investors and potential partners, new ideas and new jobs are on the agenda."Emerging climate technologies and the long-term trend toward sustainable climate technology solutions presents myriad opportunities for manufacturers across the Western Southern Tier," says Tim Piazza, talent pipeline and apprenticeship coordinator at the Manufacturing Association of the Southern Tier (MAST). "From individual studies analyzing a manufacturer's potential to efficiently enter the climate technology supply chain, to conferences and shared marketing designed to draw attention to the region, the program's benefits are substantial.""I'm so proud of the JBPU and City of Jamestown team members who led the successful application process, along with a long list of local and regional community partners," says Leathers. "This grant award outcome is recognition of a tremendous example of preparedness, teamwork and collaboration."Supporters of the proposal include: the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce, the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, the Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth, Chautauqua County Visitors' Bureau, Chautauqua County Education Coalition, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, the City of Jamestown Department of Development, the Gebbie Foundation, Jamestown Community College, Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, the Manufacturer's Association of the Southern Tier, and the Small Business Development Center.

Bolivia's FELCN Combats Drug Traffickers in the Amazon Region
Bolivia's Special Force in the War on Drugs (FELCN) is intensifying security operations –"fighting organizations of organized crime throughout Bolivia's Amazon," in the words of FELCN chief Mario Centellas. Nevertheless, their efforts span the whole of Bolivia, where there were 762 active gangs in 2013 according to the National Public Safety Observatory. Most of those criminal organizations are concentrated in the Departments of La Paz, Santa Cruz, and Cochabamba; some are street gangs, while others are larger and more sophisticated organized crime groups. Consequently, they've registered several successful operations in the region in recent months. Even as criminal organizations work across Bolivia's borders, Bolivia is fighting back by cooperating with other countries in the region. They've been busy. From January through October 31, of this year, antinarcotic agents with the FELCN have performed 11,286 operations in the Amazon region and throughout the country. During that time they've detained 2,920 people suspected of drug trafficking activities, eradicated 9,457 hectares of coca crops and seized 175 tons of drugs. That's up from the 118 tons of drugs throughout 2013. Successful anti-drug operations Some of those groups are Colombian. In Bolivia, Colombian drug traffickers can produce a kilo of high-quality cocaine from Peruvian base for less than US$2,000. That same kilo in Buenos Aires or Sao Paulo is worth up to US $8,000. Various Colombian drug trafficking groups – as well as groups from Brazil – operate in remote areas of the Amazon region, where they produce and transport significant quantities of drugs, weapons, and also engage in human trafficking. Among other missions, FELCN members perform daily patrols to locate and destroy clandestine drug labs, in addition to aerial operations and drug seizures. For example, in joint operations, the FELCN and Peruvian security forces seized 16 aircraft from January to mid-November. Meanwhile, Colombian and Brazilian security forces have conducted successful security operations to protect their borders, sometimes using advanced technologies such as aerial surveillance.

By Dialogo November 21, 2014 During that operation they also arrested four suspects: Paraguayan national Wilder David, Brazilian national Joao Carlos L.C.; Peruvian national José V.S.; and Gary R.A., a Bolivian national. Their drug ring was storing the cocaine, which they had brought into Bolivia from Perú, at a ranch; from there, they planned on transporting it to Paraguay, Brazil, and Europe. Before the security operation broke up the scheme, drug gang pilots were transporting cocaine in four to six flights a day, according to La Prensa. For example, in joint operations, the FELCN and Peruvian security forces seized 16 aircraft from January to mid-November. Meanwhile, Colombian and Brazilian security forces have conducted successful security operations to protect their borders, sometimes using advanced technologies such as aerial surveillance. The FELCN and other security forces focus much of their attention on three key areas where organized crime groups transport drugs from Perú into Bolivia: San Martin, Puno, and VRAEM regions. These are areas where drug traffickers operate production centers and process cocaine base paste, which they later refine in the country's northern regions. For example, the FELCN seized a model C-210 G Cessna aircraft and 102 kilograms of cocaine in the Department of Beni on October 12 . The aircraft was registered in Paraguay. Even as criminal organizations work across Bolivia's borders, Bolivia is fighting back by cooperating with other countries in the region. Such technologies, while "expensive at the outset, can lead to large savings for the state in the medium term," said Carlos Mendoza Mora, a security consultant with Strategic Project Consulting, a private firm in Mexico City. He added that focusing the FELCN's efforts in border regions is an effective strategy, which provides "viability and security" to civilians in those areas.

'No nightlife' says PM as Italy starts to party
'Defying death' In order to encourage more outside seating – because the virus can spread more readily in enclosed spaces – Italy has eliminated a tax paid by cafes and restaurants for tables on the street. "In exchange, we ask them for a little additional effort to avoid gatherings and possible contagions," Bergamo's Gori said.Crowded street parties represent "a real withdrawal from reality", psychoanalyst Caterina Tabasso told the Repubblica newspaper."Young people often defy death and these crowded aperitifs can be an example of a sense of omnipotence."Italy's police, who until now have been charged with keeping people inside their homes, are now expected to perform more frequent patrols of popular nightlife areas.Fines can range from 400 euros to 3,000 euros ($438 to $3,288).Padua Police Commissioner Isabella Fusiello told the Stampa newspaper on Thursday that it was not just for the police to keep things under control. "Those who run public establishments also have responsibilities," Fusiello said, saying that bar owners risked having their licences revoked. Rome bar owner Pulcinelli said his biggest fear was fines, but that he didn't have any way to make people respect social distancing. "Tonight, all the bars in Trastevere will be open," Pulcinelli said, adding it would be at its peak. "I think the police presence will be impressive." Antonio Decaro, the mayor of Bari, suggested that cafe and bar owners deliver a mask with every cocktail."It's unreal to think that law enforcement can control every citizen," Decaro said. They worry that crowds of mostly young people celebrating their freedom from quarantine may bring about another rise in infections of a disease that has already killed more than 32,000. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who took a tough line at the start of the crisis by putting his country of 60 million people under lockdown in early March, sounded like a nagging parent on Thursday as he spoke to parliament."It's not the time for parties, nightlife or gatherings," Conte said. "During this phase, more than ever it's fundamental to respect security distances and wear masks, where necessary." The sun is shining and it feels like summer. For many Italians, that means one thing — Aperol spritzes at a terrace cafe with friends. But just days after most coronavirus lockdown restrictions were lifted, authorities are saying not so fast. From Palermo to Turin, images of partygoers gathering in piazzas and outside bars have caused panic among regional leaders and mayors. 'Moment of freedom' In the northern city of Padua, photos of dozens of young people packed together without masks outside a bar raised the ire of regional president Luca Zaia."In 10 days, I'll see the infection rates. If they rise, we'll close bars, restaurants, beaches and we'll lock ourselves back up again," he warned. "No one wants to ban spritzes but I'm asking that we avoid gatherings and we wear masks until June 2."Zaia said his Veneto region planned to make a short film showing "what it means to go for a spritz without a mask".Similar scenes with hundreds of young people have been seen in Palermo in Sicily, in Turin in the northwest and Bari in the south, among other cities. In Rome, a bar owner in the popular nightlife zone of Trastevere, Alessandro Pulcinelli, told AFP that young people out at night have been lingering until about 1:00 am. "They think they've done everything they needed to and now it's the moment of freedom," said Pulcinelli. "They've got masks, but they don't wear them. It's hard to drink and talk with them." On the eve of the reopening of restaurants and bars, the mayor of Bergamo, an epicenter of the virus in the northern region of Lombardy, said he had already seen "so many people who are not careful enough" during a walk through the city. "Are hundreds of deaths in our city not enough? Do we want to find ourselves in trouble once again in a month?" Mayor Giorgio Gori wrote Sunday on his Facebook page.In Lombardy, masks in public are mandatory. Topics : read more
FIFA estimates Covid-19 will cost global soccer $11 billion
"In particular in South America, many on account of their relative means and the spring to autumn season," he said.Last month European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli predicted lost revenue of four billion euros over two years for its member clubs.Each national association can request a FIFA grant of $1million ($2mn for confederations) plus $500,000 for women's soccer.Loans are available to national associations up to a maximum value of $5mn ($4mn for confederations).Rehn was at pains to stress that unlike in the past it was imperative the money made available by FIFA "is being used for the right purposes"."Corruption has no room in soccer," he stated."Good governance is at the heart of this Covid-19 relief fund," he said."We have made this clear to member associations. I know some member associations have complained about heavy compliance procedures – I'm quite used to that. We do require full compliance and we have been working with globally-known auditing companies."He gave some examples of how the relief fund is already being put into use, like in Thailand, where it has helped restart the national league competition, including coronavirus testing, but also to implement video assistant referee (VAR) technology.Mexico spent its entire $1.5million grant on its national women's league, and in Brazil the funds are supporting the testing program in the women's competition.And in Uruguay, the money has helped the federation re-hire staff it had been forced to lay off, who were crucial to its effective operation. FIFA on Wednesday put the cost of Covid-19 on soccer around the world at $11 billion in lost revenue.The pandemic has already led to over 150 soccer associations to seek financial help from the $1.5 billion emergency relief fund set up by soccer's governing body.Olli Rehn, chairman of FIFA's coronavirus steering committee, laid bare for the first time the true financial impact the virus has had on the game through fixture list chaos, empty stadiums and loss of TV rights revenue. "It's a huge number and it covers the football economy in its entirety, including all youth academies," Rehn, a Finnish politician and governor of the Bank of Finland, told a press conference."This will impact next year as well, there is a carry over.""That is why this Covid-19 relief fund is not time-bound – they may request loans later on if they need to," Rehn, who is also independent deputy chairman of the FIFA Governance Committee, said.He said that while Europe was hit hardest in terms of absolute cost, it was the associations outside Europe which "have suffered more".

New Reds Manager
David Bell was named the new Reds Manager. How do you think he will do? On the plus side, he is a native of Cincinnati. He graduated from Moeller High School in 1990, and he is the grandson of Gus Bell who played for the Reds and is now in their front office. He also has worked in the Reds organization at different times.On the negative side, he was not successful as a Reds minor league manager. He has no major league managing experience. When the Reds have gone within their organization for managers in the past, they have not been successful.I would have preferred they keep Jim Riggleman, but he lost his chance when the Reds finished so poorly this year. I would have liked Joe Girardi, but I am sure after going to college in Chicago and managing in New York, Cincinnati would not have been a good fit for him. read more
Knock A Hand in Troytown contention
The nine-year-old, a confirmed mud-lover, has been quoted at 16-1 by the sponsors in the 100,000 euro handicap. The ante-post favourite is Tony Martin's Gallant Oscar, a winner over hurdles at Navan earlier this month for Ruby Walsh. Richard Lee's Knock A Hand is the sole British-trained representative among 36 remaining in the Ladbrokes Troytown Chase at Navan on Sunday. Martin last won the famous handicap in 2007 with Royal County Star. Gordon Elliott appears to have a very strong hand having left in top-weight Cause Of Causes, Chicago Grey, Bless the Wings, Plan A, Vasco Du Mee and Balbriggan as he bids to win the race for the first time. Other notable entries include the likes of He'llberemembered and trainer Paul Fahey said: "He has never won over three miles before, but I don't think the trip will be a problem for him. "He likes it around Navan and he won his bumper there and he has placed in some good handicaps around there. "It is hard to find races for him, but he won well the last day over hurdles at Thurles and he has been in good form since, so he should give a good account of himself. "The soft ground will be fine for him." Hayley O'Connor of Ladbrokes, said: "It's great to continue our association with the historic Troytown Chase at Navan. It looks to be a very competitive renewal at this stage which such a coveted prize on offer and we look forward to a fantastic day on Sunday." Press Association read more
Taylor Washburn wins Tour du Lac in close finish

The Latest: Amiens asks for relegation review
Share This StoryFacebookTwitteremailPrintLinkedinRedditThe Latest on the effects of the new coronavirus outbreak on sports around the world:___Amiens is asking the French soccer league to review its decision to relegate the club from the country's top flight following the early termination of the season because of the coronavirus pandemic. Associated Press It's looking for a new host for the European trampoline championships to replace Sweden. That event has been moved from this month to spring 2021.___The head of English soccer says he does not expect crowds to be allowed back into matches "any time soon."The Premier League and other soccer competitions in England have been suspended two months during the coronavirus pandemic.The English Football Association, which owns Wembley Stadium and runs the national teams, is cutting its annual budget by 75 million pounds ($93 million) as it tries to offset a potential "worst-case scenario" deficit of 300 million pounds over the next four years. ___The search is on for a new host for the women's European gymnastics championships.European Gymnastics, the continental governing body, says that France isn't able to host the championships if they're rescheduled to the fall of 2020, so the "call for a new host is open."The championships were meant to take place in Paris from April 29 through May 3 as a tune-up ahead of the Olympics but were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. European Gymnastics is still hoping to stage them on a new date.European Gymnastics says the men's European championships will remain in host nation Azerbaijan on rescheduled dates later this year, and the rhythmic gymnastics championships will stay in Ukraine. The team from northern France has started a petition to "demand justice for this far-reaching decision which goes against fairness in sport."Amiens was in 19th place in the 20-team Ligue 1, above only Toulouse, when sport around the world was brought to a halt in March due to the pandemic. The French league season was canceled last week under orders from the government.Amiens had 10 games left to play and was four points behind 18th-place Nimes. The bottom two teams are automatically relegated in France.Amiens says the "fairest choice" would be to expand Ligue 1 and make it a 22-team division for the 2020-21 season.The club is asking "supporters from Amiens and lovers of football" to support its initiative, which "would make football and sport grow." The Latest: Amiens asks for relegation review May 4, 2020 FA chairman Greg Clarke says "with social distancing in place for some time to come we do face substantial changes to the whole football ecosystem."In a letter to the FA Council, Clarke says "it's hard to foresee crowds of fans – who are the lifeblood of the game – returning to matches any time soon."The English Football League, which operates the three professional divisions below the Premier League, has told clubs games might be played without fans until 2021.The Premier League is trying to find a way of restarting next month.

UPDATE: I'm so sorry to tell you that Clauss Bakery & Cafe has closed. I will have sweet memories of their coconut cream pie forever. If you have a replacement suggestion, please let me know.
When traveling the interstate highways, dining choices are pretty much limited to fast food and truck stops. We prefer to off-ramp toward small towns in search of eateries that cater to local folk. That's how we found Clauss Bakery and Café in downtown Rensselaer, Indiana, about mid-way between Chicago and Indianapolis. It's a route we drive a few times a year.
Welcome to Clauss Bakery & Café in Renssalaer, Indiana.
As you head into town on Washington Street, Clauss' storefront establishment is on the main square across from the courthouse. The interior is reminiscent of a farmhouse kitchen, with linoleum floors, laminated tabletops and the comforting smells of freshly baked bread. The bakery cases near the front door are filled with sweet temptations, practically insuring diners can't resist taking home a treat or more.
Loads of fresh veggie from the salad bar.
The menu is comprised of light fare, mostly sandwiches, soups and pastries. Daily specials are handwritten on a whiteboard. Every day, there's a lunchtime salad bar and, on certain days, a baked potato bar or taco bar. The bakery selections include bread, dinner rolls, cookies, cakes and pie. Soup and pulled pork are available in bulk. Everything is made daily for eating in or for carrying out. Prices are reasonable, with sandwiches are in the $5 to $6 range.
My lunch reco: Egg salad on freshly baked white bread.
The bakery, a town mainstay for decades, was struggling back in December 2004 when Rex and Tammy Clauss decided to buy it. Rex had been working in the insurance industry and was burned out. They didn't have any experience running a bakery, but no matter. They hired a former employee to teach them.
These days Rex is the baker. He also makes a tangy vegetable soup on Fridays. He starts at midnight and works until dawn, when he goes home to get a little sleep. Then he returns to greet the day's customers. Tammy decorates wedding and graduation cakes and keeps the books.
A lesson for life, from Clauss Bakery & Café.
The hours are hard, but the people are wonderful, Tammy told us. Even during the overnight shifts, Rex has company. The town's insomniacs know they can wander in for coffee and a chat.
As for my favorites: Egg salad on homemade white bread and coconut crème pie.

Love finding hidden gems like this. Looks yummy!


We are a group of graduate students and postdocs doing theoretical and computational research on chemical reaction and vibrational dynamics of molecules, molecular clusters and molecular solids and fluids. The key input to these studies is an accurate, high-dimensional potential energy surface. This is obtained by fitting tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of ab initio electronic energies using linear least squares fits in a basis of special polynomials that are invariant to permutations of like atoms. To date, roughly 55 such potentials have been developed by our group.
Current work is on the unimolecular dissociation of the Criegee intermediate, CH3CHOO, roaming, water clusters, hcl/water clusters, liquid water, hydrated hydronium, hydrated ion pairs, methane hydrate clathrates. Many of these projects are done in collaboration with prominent experimental groups.
We also develop new methods and software, such as the code MULTIMODE and software to generate the permutationally invariant polynomials.

The Corporation of America
By Jack Hoffman
When the Founding Fathers sat down to draw up how the new nation – America – would be governed, they settled on a form of government (a republic) that would be guided by a document that would protect all rights of its citizens. When the Constitution and Bill of Rights were finally signed, we became the Republic of the U.S.
Contrast the framer's vision of a republic with that of a democracy. In a democracy, the majority rules, either directly or through its elected representatives, with no oversight. Thomas Jefferson feared that law written by the majority under a democracy in power would lack any regard for the basic rights of all citizens. That, in turn, could lead to what the framers feared most – a monarchy.
Nowhere in either of those precious and brilliant documents will you find democracy. A democracy and a republic are as different as apples and oranges.
The new republic would be governed by a preset document that would spell out the rights of all, e.g. the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. It would have a judiciary branch to rule against any law written by a congress that was not constitutional.
Can you imagine The Battle Hymn of The Democracy?
Today, this government is not what Jefferson (the author) envisioned, a free republic.
Welcome to Corporate America – a nation governed by an oligarchy, a country ruled by a few – corporations. In 1999 the Clinton Administration, along with some Democrats and Conservative Republicans, pushed to pass the Financial Services Modernization Act. In a few words, the Clinton crew eliminated all the reform legislation that Roosvelt introduced to control the banking powers.
The banks got what they wanted: little or no regulation. With no oversight and freedom from regulations, mergers that violated all existing anti-trust laws flourished. Derivatives that gave Wall Street new unregulated institutions like hedge funds made the banks even more powerful and wealthy.
Larry Summers, who is one of the chief economic advisers to President Barack Obama, and Neal Wolin, who is now Assistant Secretary in the treasury, were the architects of those un- regulatory Clinton Administration laws back in 1999. It's just been revealed that Mr. Summers last year alone earned over $2 million in speaking fees from many of the banks that got TARP money. He also earned almost $3 million last year from D.F. Shaw, a leading hedge fund. The stories go on.'
From 1973 through 1985, the U.S. financial sector accounted for about 16% of the GNP (Gross National Product). In the 1990s, it went from 21% to 30%. In this decade, it soared to over 41% of a GNP that is $14 trillion. That's almost $6 trillion in services these barons of Wall Street produced. Citi Bank just three years ago had a 35% return on their capital investment, the largest in the world.
Over the years as their wealth increased, their power over Congress became well documented. To protect their private fiefdoms, financial institutions spent $5 billion in the last 10 years paying off a Congress that was more than willing to write the laws favorable to them and scrapping laws that were not.
Hank Greenberg, former founder of A.I.G., was once quoted saying that he wanted to create not just the largest insurance company in the world, but also the wealthiest. A corporation so large that it would become invincible and protected from any regulations, using his power as a threat. Here is a good question: if all these investment houses were so smart, why insure trillions of dollars in mortgages with a company that was un-regulated and free from any oversight? All these smart fellows of Wall Street were so arrogant, knowing that if they were losing money they could play a chicken game with a government they had in their pockets. They weren't so wrong.
I once wrote here that no civilization ruled by a corrupt government could ever survive without fair and just laws. If the representative's laws were sold and even written by those with the money and power this government will not last long. How right Jefferson was when he said every 20 years a revolution might be necessary. How prophetic was the guy?!
Sadly, we all need the banks, the military industrial complex, Silicon Valley. Homeowners who need a mortgage, and what is unfortunate they are the fiduciaries of our life-long savings like 401 and pensions that they gambled away with greater odds of losing than a Las Vegas casino. What we don't need is the way they are now structured, and we need to get rid of the criminals that have defrauded us all.
While Congress and the media played a kabuki dance for one week over the $150 million in bonuses that the AIG crooks took for themselves, the real story was being overshadowed: the $80 billion A.I.G. used to pay claims to all the major players who played that debt-swap game of mortgages The money ($20 billion) was paid to six foreign banks and several US banks. Bank of America and Merrill Lynch carved up almost $40 billion in bonus money just before they announced Merrill was broke and just before the take over by Bank of America in December. BAC also used TARP money for the buy-out of Merrill, as reported several months ago by yours truly.
While congress debated bailout money for General Motors, they wanted workers to renegotiate contracts already renegotiated the year before. They never asked that of all those bankers, and I mean all those who were getting bonus money, along with TARP funding, that they should renegotiate. They never mentioned bondholders. Why should they? Workers vs. boards of banks? Are you dreaming? How many bank executives were moved out under Obama? Zero. Surprise, surprise! Many of the board members at General Motors sit on the board of Bank of America.
Talk about a symbiotic relationship. Just think about this: Summers, Geithner and several others in this administration favored de-regulation now they want regulation. Am I in some Wonderland? Wake me when it's over.
Elizabeth Warren chairperson of the Tarp Commission that is overseeing how all this money was spent has testified to congress that nothing will work unless we break the major banks and the officers who think they are the new untouchable. Something I have always advocated. She has also criticized treasury for holding back certain information.
And Geithner wants one trillion dollars more.
Obama recently told the bankers to cut all that bonus crap and those reckless financial games. If you don't- "I am the only one between you and the pitchforks". Will he have the strength and cajones to fight congress and do the right thing- break them up?
While writing this I couldn't help thinking of another oligarchy that ruled Worcester from the 40s' to the late 60s'. Their vision of a controlled Worcester can be seen today in a deserted parcel of land that sits on Madison Ave that was once called Wyman and Gordon.

I've just returned back home from the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets 2016 Spring Conference where I was one of three featured poets, along with Ed Bok Lee and Kao Kalia Yang, both of whom I haven't seen in nearly 8 years. I also had a chance to meet the wonderful Soham Patel, whose work I look forward to seeing much more in the years ahead.
I'm grateful to everyone who came to attend, and applaud all of the hard work and tireless hours that went into putting on such a wonderful event. As I heard so many of the members reading their poetry, I was struck by the diversity of styles and subject matter, the deep spiritual resonances, the flourishing of imagination and tradition, and the wonderful humor and musicality of the language that's very distinctive in Wisconsin poetry.
As I've discussed so often, to me, poetry isn't just about words on a page or sounds in an ear, but it's souls talking to souls, and that was fully present in Madison this weekend. It was a delight to catch up with so many people and to share in the conversations with them about what it meant to be a poet in the modern day.
I enjoyed having a chance to look at so many of the books the Fellowship has brought into the world, and there was much to this event that I will take back with me. I will be strongly encouraging Lao American writers in the future to consider this model of trust, of harmony, of community as we gather in celebration of our shared journeys.
There's still so much to process, and I'll be writing of this more in the coming months ahead, but I was happy to see a spirit of inclusion, a commitment to both formal forms and experimental ones. I extend my appreciation to Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets president Jan Chronister for her wonderful work to ensure there's space in the organization for so many varieties of poets.
Both emerging poets and established poets had a chance to have their say and to present their pieces to the entire Fellowship. It was a great intergenerational experience filled with great fun and touching exchanges.
I managed to catch up with F.J. Bergmann for the second time in a year since ConVergence in Minneapolis, and it was exciting to see many of her new ventures including the debut of Jeanie Tomasko's Violet Hours. Readers could also pick up a copy of the Science Fiction Poetry Association's 2016 Rhysling Anthology to see some of the poems the SFPA have been excited about.
It's fitting that we saw the close to National Poetry Month and the beginning of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month the next day with this weekend. I was honored that so many of these fine Wisconsin poets bought my books to add to their collection, down to my very last copies. I hope they all enjoy Tanon Sai Jai and DEMONSTRA.
During the course of this year's conference I read the now rarely-performed "How To Build A Boat," from my out-of-print book BARROW, but also "Japonisme, Laoisme," "What Kills A Man," "In the Beginning," "On A Stairway In Luang Prabang," "The Last War Poem," and sections of "The Dream Highway of Ms. Mannivongsa." As I prefaced it on several occasions, my poetic concern is centered on the question of how we cultivate not only memory and spirit in our poetry, but how do we also help the next generation see a future wherein, they, too, are present.
Kao Kalia Yang read some truly stunning passages from her newest book, The Song Poet, a fine followup to her debut classic The Latehomecomer and I am reminded why I regret the physical distances between poets must be so great, so often. But I hope many more will take the time to read her words and be transformed by them.
Ed Bok Lee read a wonderful set of poems that spoke to the theme of this year's conference, "Crossing Borders," and shared inspiring words that I know all of the poets in the room appreciated. If you haven't gotten your copy of his award-winning book Whorled, be sure to do so immediately.
Tim Yu couldn't be there this weekend, but still, his immense presence was felt throughout the conference. His book 100 Chinese Silences has my heartfelt endorsement. Soham Patel stepped in graciously to moderate a wonderful conversation between Ed, Kao Kalia, and I with the Fellowship. We touched upon some wonderful questions about inclusion and participation in poetry, and who were excited about in the coming years ahead. Naturally, among those we specifically cited were the Lao American poet Krysada Panusith Phounsiri and the Hmong American poets Khaty Xiong and Mai Der Vang.
A very big thanks goes to James Roberts who invited me to this year's conference. James took me on a fantastic tour of Madison from a poet's view, and we also had a fine visit at WORT, where I had a chance to speak on air with Jonathan Zarov, discussing everything from the London Summer Games to the role of science fiction poetry in the lives of refugees in diaspora. We also had a fun conversation of cheeseteaks and brats that didn't make it on the air. But I hope all of my readers take the chance to listen to WORT whenever they're in Madison.
At WORT I also met a new fan, Kai Brito, who came to see us at the conference. I was very happy to see Kai take the plunge as a first-time judge for the WFOP 2016 Poetry Slam. He was a natural at it! Kai brings an amazing light and energy to any room he's in. I wish him well in all of his endeavors.
I'm also going to close this short post up with a quick shoutout to the wonderful sponsors of this year's conference who helped the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, including Hmong Globe, Les Figues Press, Pickle Barrel Press, Lao Laan Xang, Coffee House Press, and Sahtu Press.
I hope you all keep inspired and creating for many more years to come!

I am writing to enquirer about the junior version of Matilda the Musical. Is there an expected release date to order the perusal and or acquire the rental rights? Noticed several articles on the development and haven't seen any recent information. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Can you provide this for Newsies?

Vivo X60 and X60 Pro live photos reveal the design in full glory
Author: Marco Lancaster
On December 29, Vivo will be unveiling its highly-anticipated Vivo X60 series. We believe that this will be the last smartphone launch of 2020, and we can say that it will close the year with style. Over the previous weeks, we saw extensive leaks revealing the specifications of the upcoming smartphones. Today, live images of Vivo X60 and X60 Pro surfaced on the Weibo database. It reveals the design of the handsets in all glory.
The Vivo X60 has a flat panel with a top-centered punch-hole cutout serving as a house for the selfie snapper. The Vivo X60 Pro will bring a curved display which also comes with a centrally-aligned punch-hole camera. According to leaks, both handsets come with AMOLED displays just like the devices that came before them. However, the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro come with thin bezels at the top and bottom. Moreover, both handsets will bring OriginOS software straight out of the box. That's Vivo new software skin based on Android 11.
A powerful camera setup powered by ZEISS
The rear design is similar, but still more refined than the one found in the Vivo X50 series. The vanilla Vivo X60 has a triple rear camera setup whereas the Vivo X60 Pro boasts a Quad-Camera array. According to recent leaks, the X60 has a primary 48MP camera, a 13MP ultrawide, and a 13MP portrait lens. The setup on the X60 Pro is similar, but there is a fourth 8MP periscope zoom lens offering 5x Optical Zoom and up to 60x digital zoom.
Vivo already revealed that the camera setup on both phones is made in collaboration with ZEISS. This name is well known in the camera department, and we believe that it will add a lot of appeal to the camera-centric series. The bottom part of the handsets includes a SIM-tray, microphone, USB Type-C port, and speaker grille.

Another interesting fact is that both handsets will bring the Samsung Exynos 1080 chipset. This is a powerful Octa-Core chipset featuring the latest Cortex-A78 cores and based on the power-efficient 5nm architecture. The X60 series will be made of the first devices featuring this chipset which is set to be present in a lot of Samsung 5G devices next year.
In addition to the images, an unboxing video surfaced in Weibo. It gives us a last glimpse of the Vivo X60 Pro ahead of its release. Considering the number of leaks, we don't expect many surprises to come on December 29.
