Car sales reports have been released and sales data indicates it was a slow month for many foreign automakers.
Compiled by Consumer Reports, sales figures for Nissan dropped 9 percent compared to the same month last year, Subaru posted a sales decline of 15 percent after several months of positive growth and Toyota moved 28 percent fewer units in year-over-year sales figures.
The news source says most foreign car manufacturers attributed the decline to supply issues resulting from the Japanese earthquake. South Korea-based Hyundai and Kia had no such problems, with Hyundai selling 10,000 more units last month compared to May 2010, according to Consumer Reports.
Domestic manufacturers also had a prosperous May, as sales figures were steady for Ford and General Motors, while Chrysler posted a 10 percent increase in sales, the source reports. Some of the best selling models were Chrysler's Compass, Grand Cherokee and Patriot.
Whether a car is foreign or domestic built may indirectly factor into auto insurance premiums, as insurers consider a car's make and model when assessing rates.


Exposure to environmental agents can affect a number of adverse immunological outcomes, including changes in the incidence of infectious disease.
Diethylstilbestrol (DES), dexamethasone (DEX), cyclophosphamide, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are immunosuppressive chemicals that can induce similar pathophysiological end points in the thymus; however, the mechanism of toxicity is different for each compound.
We examined differential gene expression in the spleen and thymus following chemical exposure and correlated these changes with alterations in functional immune end points and our knowledge of the known mechanisms of action. RNA from the spleen and thymus has been analyzed using Illumina Sentrix arrays and BeadStudio software.
Preliminary data suggest that DES induced the greatest number of gene changes in the spleen, while DEX induced the most changes in the thymus. In both spleen and thymus, genomic analysis revealed gene expression changes that were common to multiple chemicals and that may be associated with xenobiotic-induced immune system perturbations, including alterations in genes associated with apoptosis, antigen processing and presentation, and response to biotic stimulus.
This was particularly evident in the thymus, where there were many similarities in the expression profiles, as well as gene alterations unique to a single compound. In contrast, expression profiles in spleen were more distinct. The category of genes most profoundly affected by all four chemicals was response to biotic stimulus: there were both clusters of genes modulated by multiple chemicals and genes altered by a single chemical. The distinct gene profiles may specifically relate to cellular targets and mechanism of action.

CAGE responds to accusations in Daily Mail and Huffington Post
The Daily Mail and Huffington Post have recently published articles criticising the National Union of Students (NUS) for inviting CAGE outreach director Moazzam Begg to speak at several events next month as part of a campaign against the government's failing counter-terrorism programme PREVENT.
The articles reported several inaccuracies about CAGE, which we deal with below.
Huffington Post: The group was harshly criticised and accused of being "ISIS apologists" following the conference, where Qureshi described Emwazi as a "person [who]… would never hurt a single person".
Daily Mail: "Cage first hit the headlines in February when a senior figure described Islamic State beheader Jihadi John as a 'beautiful, kind man'."
These statements about CAGE's position are simply false. The words used by CAGE Research Director, Asim Qureshi, referred to the Mohammed Emwazi of 2011 as a "beautiful man…extremely kind, extremely gentle, extremely soft-spoken…". This was before the Syrian conflict began and even well before the creation of ISIS. This description is clearly not in reference to an alleged killer of innocents including aid workers.
We continue to call for open debate on the reasons people are turning to violence. Part of this process is to try to understand in a dispassionate and evidence-based manner the trajectory of individuals who have engaged in acts of political violence.
CAGE does not support terrorism in any form. This is underlined by the fact that our outreach director Moazzam Begg offered at a crucial point to negotiate for Alan Henning's release, but the British government refused his offer of assistance.
Daily Mail: "Through Begg, Cage developed links with the radical preacher and Al Qaeda cheerleader Anwar al-Awlaki and campaigned for his release from detention in Yemen."
CAGE's position was that it campaigned for Anwar al-Awlaki when he was detained without charge in line with the remit of its work. Since his release CAGE was however opposed to a number of positions that he took, despite not agreeing with the order by President Obama to have him targeted for assassination. CAGE's positions on Awlaki are important due to the organisation consistently asking questions of the efficacy of counter-terrorism policy.
Awlaki's case is an important one to analyse, as questions must be asked about the role that his detention without charge and torture played in his subsequent desire to join those affiliated to al-Qaeda. These issues are crucial to debate in a public manner with full transparency, as CAGE feels this is the best way to understand how to keep communities safe.
Our full report into al-Awlaki's detention and killing is available here
Daily Mail: "Cage's bank accounts were frozen after intervention from the Treasury."
The Treasury has written to us on more than one occasion confirming that we are not a designated organisation saying that "CAGE is not nor has it ever been subject to financial restriction imposed by the Treasury".
[Rupert Sutton, director of Student Rights said:] "Until the NUS stops working with groups like CAGE, or parroting extremist narratives on Prevent, it will continue to be part of the problem on campuses."
The National Union of Students (NUS) itself and several student unions have condemned 'Student Rights' an "insidious" organisation whose work has led to "witch hunts" against Muslims.
Student Rights has seen its support haemorrhaging in recent years. With several members of it's own board members quitting, including the Liberal Democrat MP Tom Brake. This comes as several student unions passed anti-Student Rights motions questioning the legitimacy of a group without any student representation.
More recently the sovereign policy making body of NUS passed a resolution to as far as is practical, not engage with the PREVENT strategy, to oppose the Counter Terrorism and Security Act and actively work to cut PREVENT funded initiatives.
NUS also "reaffirmed opposition to PREVENT, and to work with civil liberties organisations working to challenge it". With a commitment to work "alongside civil liberties groups including CAGE, lobby the government to repeal it [Counter Terrorism and Security Act] immediately."
CAGE welcomes this position as it will avoid the alienation of Muslim communities and sends a powerful message to students that all groups need to work together in countering the narrative that Muslims are a threat to society instead of equal partners committed to creating a more equal, just and fair society for all.
CAGE will continue to assert the need for an open and fair discussion looking at root causes of political violence, with a view to seeking solutions to end the cycles of violence that characterise the War on Terror. These unfounded accusations demonstrate a concern by vested interests that our position holds credible merit.
(NOTE: CAGE represents cases of individuals based on the remit of our work. Supporting a case does not mean we agree with the views or actions of the individual. Content published on CAGE may not reflect the official position of our organisation.)

President Trump is likely to put off moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem -- he's expected to sign a waiver at the end of the month that will keep the embassy in Tel Aviv for the time being.
Is Trump reconsidering moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel?
Mr. Trump spoke with Egypt's President al Sisi on Monday, and among the topics discussed was the impact of moving the embassy. This call was not on the White House schedule or readout, and the White House spokespeople seemed unaware of the call, but CBS News has confirmed that it took place. It was hastily arranged, and Mr. Trump initiated it, according to a White House official and the Egyptian government. The two will meet again in Saudi Arabia this weekend.
A growing number of diplomats from the region, as well as U.S. sources, are telling me that Trump will sign the waiver at the end of the month that keeps the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv. Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, Congress called for and funded the relocation of the embassy to Jerusalem, for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. However, the law has never been implemented - Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have signed waivers based on national security interests. They have also seen it as an infringement by the legislative branch on the president's constitutional authority.
Jerusalem remains disputed territory and most U.N. states, including the U.S., do not recognize Israel's ownership of east Jerusalem, which it claimed after the 1967 War. This is the reason foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv.
The PLO claims sovereignty over east Jerusalem. Israel claims sovereignty over the entirety of the city.
Mr. Trump has sought counsel from both Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah on the issue. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump asked King Abdullah about the impact of potentially moving the embassy to Jerusalem. A White House official confirmed these details but the Jordanian government declined to comment.
The White House has not yet announced President Trump's decision on the issue, which is sure to come up during his trip this week to the region.

It becomes an afterthought. You throw it on while you pore over stats and specs for this winter's ski gear. It's the layer you wear when you go shopping for your new parka. It's seen the four corners of the Earth, the inside of your local grocery, innumerable National Parks, and more happy hours than any of us will admit.
It's your fleece. The only thing more ubiquitous than a fleece jacket (or vest) is the near universal attitude of indifference we have toward them.
For those old enough to remember, there was a time when you peacocked your fleece jacket as the mark of a true outdoorsperson. Things were a little bulkier back then and this may have turned the tide of public opinion for a spell. But in the 2000's, fleece technology and performance has advanced to the point where we know manufacturers by name (we're talking to you, Polartec). Top brands tout its inclusion as a premium selling point.
Been up close and personal to every element Mother Nature and her cohort (i.e. you) have been able to conjure up. Water (rain, river trips, morning surf sessions), earth (mountain biking, gardening), fire (see above), and air (the wind on a sailboat, the crisp breeze when summiting a peak).
Be loud, be proud and make peace with your fleece. It's here to stay and you know that makes you as happy as a two-year old hearing he can bring his woobie on the road trip. We celebrate the humble fleece – the workhorse of the closet and the backpack and the commuter – with our new, reformulated Nikwax Polar Proof.
With a few ounces in the wash, Polar Proof breathes new life into your fleece. It won't add weight or change the appearance, but the specialized formulation adds water repellency to an otherwise sponge-like fabric. Polar Proof also maintains the crucial air gap between the knit and the weave that is the essence of the highly breathable, warmth-to-weight comfort of fleece.
Your fleece has been around long enough that some cultures would consider you legally bound by default. But we know you're bound by love and we want to ensure you have a long, happy future together. We're Nikwax: it's what we do.

Even before we packed to return home, M. was trying to come to grips with what had happened. "I don't like change," she admitted. She had not been down the canyon since Sunday morning, when it was still smokey, and could only imagine what her favorite patch of the San Isabel National Forest would look like.
When I lived as a boy in Rapid City, South Dakota, one of Dad's favorite hunting spots was the McVey Burn, site of a large fire in 1939. I remember it as a mixture of forest and open areas, in contrast to the rest of the heavily wooded Black Hills, where "scientific forestry" and fire suppression had created a landscape much more wooded that that of the previous century.
The largest mule deer buck I ever shot lived on the brushy Poverty Mountain Burn in Frémont County, about seven years after the fire--great deer habitat. Just driving through the Hayman Burn southwest of Denver (site of the 137,760-acre Hayman Fire in 2002), you can see new meadows, abundant summer wildflowers, and a landscape that in many ways is more interesting than the thick forest that was there before.
That doesn't mean I expect everything to be wonderful. Some steep slopes are now bare, which means they can erode. The Hayman Fire burned over mostly decomposed granite soil, and that stuff erodes if you look at it cross-eyed. Erosion into streams and reservoirs and across roads was a major post-fire concern, and a lot of money was spent on various temporary structures to control it. The soils here tend to be more clayey, yet strong thunderstorms could produce mud flows and washouts. I am curious to see if any plants will sprout before autumn.
Salvage logging, if it occurs, would be on a small scale, I think. I do not anticipate a political fight over logging. This part of the San Isabel NF never produced much timber, and it has not been managed for it. Slopes are steep, and the ponderosa pines and Douglas firs tended to be slow-growing and skinny--again, partly due to fire suppresison. Occasionally you do find on the lower slopes big stumps of trees cut in the late 19th century, when the woods must have been more "open".
As for the trees, Gambel oak ("oak brush") will regenerate from its roots most of the time. Ponderosa pine will re-seed itself, creating new stands of too-thick trees, although in some places there won't be many seed trees left. The piñon pine in the lower foothills might come back, but much more slowly. Douglas fir and some white fir might come back in the moister places. Junipers can re-seed too, slowly. Rocky Mountain and one-seed junipers are basically gasoline on a stick: they burn fiercely and their fallen needles usually burn right down to the underlying soil ("mineral soil"), whereas a layer of pine needles often will not burn all the way through. It depends on the intensity of the fire.
That said, I expect to see fire scars that last for decades. Because this is not a timber-producing area, I do not expect the Forest Service to be replanting trees. The reproduction will be whatever happens on its own, most likely. If I am wrong about that, I will blog about it!
Today's report: Fire grew 500 acres, but it is 40-percent contained. In other words, they have a fire line dug around that much.

A raft of new motoring laws has been introduced in the first half of 2018, with more likely to be on their way. Keeping track of all the changes can be tricky, whether you're a driver or work in the motor trade. However, if you fall foul of these regulations, not only could you invalidate your insurance policy, you could face a hefty fine or even a prison sentence. So, what do you need to be aware of when driving on the UK's roads?
Learner Drivers on the Motorway – The Latest Driving Law to Change
From 4 June 2018, "test-ready" learner drivers can take driving lessons on the UK's motorways. Any learner wanting to take advantage of this change will need to be accompanied by a driving instructor and in a dual-controlled car.
When it comes to motorway driving, it's also worth noting that the government is rumoured to be introducing fixed fines and penalties for motorists driving in lanes marked as closed using red "X"s. Rule-flouters will be identified via smart motorways' roadside cameras. The regulations were initially said to be scheduled for implementation during the spring, but no further details have emerged.
2018's Car Tax Regulations – Bad News for Diesel Vehicle Drivers
In April 2018, the government introduced new car tax regulations to reduce the number of high polluting vehicles on the road and improve air quality. Firstly, they increased road tax – also known as Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) – for new diesel vehicles bought on or after 1 April 2018. While the additional charges only apply for one year, the change means that anyone buying a new car which produces between 111 and 130 g/km of CO2 will need to pay an extra £300, for example, while buying a car that produces 171 and 225 g/km of CO2 will cost you £500 more. You'll also pay additional taxes if your new vehicle costs more than £40,000, regardless of whether it's a petrol or diesel car. That's certainly something to think about before asking your dealer to take the trade plates off that luxurious new car you've been coveting.
The second part of the new car tax rules apply to diesel company cars available under Benefit-in-Kind schemes. The diesel tax supplement paid by motorists paying Benefit-in-Kind rates for diesel cars registered on or after January 1998 rose by 1 per cent on 6 April this year.
Theoretically, these charges don't apply to cars that meet the Real Driving Emissions, stage 2 (RDE2) emissions standard due to come into force in 2021. However, at present, no diesel vehicles on the market do.
MOT Changes – New Tests and Fault Categories
Changes were made to the MOT for new and used cars in May 2018. Owners of diesel vehicles were hit the hardest; the level of emissions deemed to be acceptable has been lowered and any vehicle fitted with a diesel particulate filter now automatically fails the test if it emits visible smoke.
Both diesel and petrol-powered vehicles must undergo new tests, including brake disc checks. Faults now fall into three categories – minor, major and dangerous. If a vehicle has a major or a dangerous fault, it will automatically fail.
There was some good news for drivers of vintage vehicles, cars registered in or before 1978 don't now need MOT certificates at all.
Other Changes That Could Be on Their Way
Other driving law changes currently under discussion include nationwide fines for drivers who park their vehicles on pavements and the introduction of "graduated driving licences", which would place restrictions on the types of vehicles that motorists can drive and how they can use them for the first two years after they have passed their tests.

Water — it's the tasteless, natural, solution to everything from weight loss to wrinkles, headaches, constipation, clear skin and fatigue.
But for many of us the mere thought of downing the recommended two to three litres a day has us heading for the nearest coffee machine.
If you're not one of those in the habit of tucking a bottle of artisan water under your arm every time you leave the house, there are other ways to keep dehydration at bay, according to some of our leading health and nutrition experts.
Contrary to popular belief, all beverages contribute to your total daily fluid intake — be that coffee, tea, juices, broths, soups or low-fat milk, according to Remede naturopathic nutritionist Jan Purser.
"Surprisingly there are still many people out there who don't drink an adequate amount of water or who simply don't like the taste and are looking for other more palatable alternatives, " Ms Purser says.
"Adding a dash of juice, a slice of lemon or lime or a sprig of mint or cucumber can improve the taste of water for people who are seeking hydration but who simply don't like the taste of tap water, " Ms Purser says.
"Mineral and soda water with a low sodium content, herbal teas and even tea and coffee in moderate amounts all contribute to your total fluid intake."
Ms Purser says although water intake depends on body size and energy output, two to three litres of water per day is commonly suggested as the ideal level for optimal hydration.
Nutrition Works sports dietitian Emily Eaton suggests eating fruits and vegetables with a high water content to boost your overall fluid intake, or supplementing water intake with soups, broths and low-fat milk, which is made up predominantly of water.
Ms Eaton says that for those of us who don't manage to drink the recommended amount of water, snacking on water-rich fruits such as melons, oranges, peaches, blueberries and pineapples and vegetables such as celery, cucumber, lettuce, broccoli, tomato and spinach can provide the body with supplementary fluid, with the added bonus of delivering extra minerals, antioxidants and fibre.
She says unless you're doing 90 or more minutes of vigorous exercise, there is no real need for calorie-laden sports drinks, even after a particularly intense game of soccer or football.
"Soft drinks and energy drinks really have no place in a healthy diet and juices should be viewed as an occasional treat again because of their high sugar content, and they're often stripped of their beneficial fibre during the extraction process, " Ms Eaton says.
She says diet soft drinks, which many see as a healthier alternative to calorie-laden soft drinks, are often full of additives and can wreak havoc on the teeth if consumed on a regular basis without adding any nutritional value.
There are 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 600ml bottle of soft drink, nine in the same size sport drink and seven teaspoons in a 250ml energy drink? A soft drink per day can add up to 6.5kg of weight gain in one year. And if you drink a 600ml bottle of fruit drink per day you're consuming a whopping 23kg of sugar a year.
Thirsty for more
Top up your water intake without reaching for the tap.
1. Up your intake of water-rich fruit and vegetables such as melons, oranges, pineapple, celery, cucumber, broccoli and spinach.
2. Boost your fluid intake with soups and broths in winter and tasty salads in summer — lettuce has one of the highest water contents of all fruit and vegetables.
3. Low-fat milk and yoghurt both contain high levels of water and are a nutritious way of adding more water to your diet.
4. Sip herbal teas daily to boost fluid levels with a side of antioxidants.
5. Moderate tea and coffee consumption can boost your fluid level but beware of their diuretic effect when consumed in excess.
6. For those partaking in vigorous prolonged exercise, go for low-sugar sports drinks with a low-carbohydrate content to replace electrolytes and rehydrate.
7. Avoid diet drinks, soft drinks, energy drinks, cordials, vitamin water, fruit juice and some sports drinks as they are often laden with calories and additives.

Urban Studies and Planning
Interdisciplinary Dual Degrees
Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability (PALS)
Research & Creative Practice
MAPP Alumni
Maryland's built environment school
PhD in Urban and Regional Planning and Design
The PhD in Urban and Regional Planning and Design is a 39-credit program that prepares students to teach at the university level in departments of urban planning, architecture, historic preservation, landscape architecture, or real estate development. The program will qualify graduates to conduct research and participate in high-level decision making in the public, private, and non-profit sectors.
The PhD program is highly selective and individualized. Adequately prepared students will generally need four semesters of formal coursework leading to comprehensive exams and all students are expected to spend a minimum of two years in residence. Students admitted to the PhD Program are expected to have completed a master's degree in a related field including (but not limited to) urban planning, architecture, historic preservation, or landscape architecture. Students are expected to enter the PhD program with two semesters of graduate level quantitative research methods.
The PhD program is integral to the University of Maryland's National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education and our nationally recognized Architecture, Urban Studies and Planning, Historic Preservation, and Real Estate Development Programs. These affiliations enable our students to take advantage of a rich interdisciplinary environment.
Fields of Specialization
Students are expected to develop two fields of specialization, a major and a minor field. The following major fields are based on the University of Maryland faculty's particular strengths. However, other fields can be developed with the guidance and approval of the faculty mentor.
This field includes the theoretical underpinnings of land use and the segregation of uses, as well as the study of the theory, history, and practice of policies intended to regulate the amount, pace, location, pattern, and quality of growth in U.S. metropolitan areas. This includes the study of legal and constitutional issues, public costs and benefits, the role of externalities, political conflicts, equity concerns, and socioeconomic impacts of zoning, and other forms of land regulation and growth management.
Urban Spatial Structure
Students in this specialization will study the factors that determine and influence urban and regional spatial structure. Of special interest is the role that changing technology plays in shaping urban form.
Students in this specialization will focus on the theory and practice of local urban and regional economic development, including the study of theories of regional growth, intra-national population migration, business location decisions, and community development. This field also includes the study of economic development politics.
International Planning
This specialization explores the urbanization dynamics in other countries, particularly the third world. Students in this specialization explore planning, urban spatial structure, historic preservation, and urban design challenges in the newly industrializing countries and the newly independent states of Eastern Europe, and how the political, social, cultural, and economic conditions within and among regions and countries affect the development, design and implementation of plans. Within the proposed PhD program there will be special emphasis on the relationship between social, cultural, and economic conditions and improving the quality of urban life.
This specialization includes the study of both historical and contemporary issues of design in an urban environment, including the means by which urban form and design is regulated through codes, guidelines, and review processes. Students in this specialization will explore the relationship between buildings, culture, context, the urban condition, and their influence on the making of the urban form. This field includes an emphasis on the relationship between human behavior and built form and also encompasses a special focus on design strategies and initiatives that revitalize cities and mitigate urban sprawl. It also includes the exploration of how sprawl and growth management can– and do– inform urban design.
Urban Community Social Development
This specialization focuses on revitalizing the central city to make it a more attractive place to live and work, and to slow the outward migration that necessitates suburban growth management. This specialization gives special attention to the social and cultural character of communities, in addition to their physical and economic requirements, and concentrates on developing strategies to draw more people to central city communities. Because concern about declining schools, fears about safety, and anxiety about racial differences are three strong forces motivating outward movement, education, public safety, and race relations will be central to this study.
Comprehensive Exams Policy
Doctoral students are required to take a set of written comprehensive exams shortly after completion of their coursework. To pass the exams, students must demonstrate a mastery of advanced planning and design theory, and the important work in their major and minor fields. At least four faculty members serve on the exam committee of which two must be from the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. The examining committee will include the student's advisor, at least two additional members familiar with the student's major or minor fields, and the student's planning theory professor. The selection of the committee is made by the student, with the approval of the student's advisor. The comprehensive exam is a three-day take-home exam.
To prepare for the examination, students are required to prepare a reading list for their chosen major and minor fields, plus urban planning theory, in consultation with their advisor and committee members. This reading list will reflect the agreed-upon scope of work that students are expected to know for the exam. All of the committee members must review this reading list and agree that it includes the relevant, important work in the students' chosen fields.
Each committee member should write one question in the area of each student's major or minor field. The committee member may write several questions among which the student should select one. The advisor should collect all questions from the committee members, review the questions for clarity, comprehensiveness, and fairness, and pass the exam to the student. Generally, the total exam includes two questions from the major field, one question from the minor field, and a planning theory question. At the end of three days (72 hours), the student should return the exam to his/her advisor. The advisor will pass the exam to the committee.
The questions will be graded by the committee, with each committee member responsible for grading the question they asked. The advisor is responsible for reading and grading all questions. The examining committee should take no longer than two weeks to assess the exam. The options are (1) pass, (2) rewrite, or (3) fail. A student may receive a pass, rewrite, or fail on each question separately. Students are allowed to rewrite a question one time only. Only one committee member is required for a decision to rewrite. At least two faculty members must concur if a failing grade is given. The case where the student fails one or more questions constitutes an exam failure. Once successfully passing the comprehensive exam, students must complete the required paperwork to be formally admitted to candidacy.
Students must complete and pass their comprehensive exam before they advance to candidacy and begin to take URSP899 dissertation research courses. Click here to fill out the application for advancement to candidacy.
The dissertation must demonstrate the ability to do independent research on an original topic approved by the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and the graduate program.
The student will assemble a dissertation committee made up of at least five faculty members with expertise in the student's proposed research area. According to the university requirement: "The Committee must consist of a minimum of five members; additional committee members may be required or invited to serve at the discretion of the program. All members of the Dissertation Examining Committee must be members of the Graduate Faculty of the University of Maryland under one of the following membership categories: Regular Member; Adjunct Member; Special Member. At least three of the committee members must be Regular Members of the University of Maryland Graduate Faculty." Once a prospectus is finished, it must be approved and signed off by the student's PhD committee. Students will orally defend their dissertation proposal. The oral defense is informal. Students are expected to propose planning-related research and theory construction, which will lead to significant, original, and relevant contributions to the field. The core course Advanced Planning and Design Theory is designed to assist students in the preparation of a thesis proposal.

The Master and Margarita Chapter 7 Summary & Analysis
Styopa Likhodeev, Berlioz's flat mate and director of the Variety theater, wakes with a terrible hangover. The narrator tells the reader that there has been something strange over the last couple of years about this particular apartment, no. 50 in a building on Sadovaya Street—a number of its various lodgers have been disappearing. The housekeeper suspected "sorcery" to be the cause, before she, too, went missing. Soon after, Berlioz and Styopa moved in with their wives.
Bulgakov's description of the goings-on at apartment no. 50 cut close to the bone in terms of what he could get away with writing. The disappearances are clearly indicative of state-sponsored exile and murder under Stalin's regime but can't be explicitly stated as such. The idea that sorcery is to blame here actually hints at the clandestine operations of the secret police, who are an unseen, almost supernatural, presence in the novel.
Styopa, suffering under the weight of his headache, tries to call out for Berlioz to bring him aspirin. He opens eyes, shocked to discover a strange man in his room, dressed in a black and wearing a beret.
Like Pontius Pilate, Styopa has a headache. There is a gentle suggestion that this might be a side effect of being in the presence of Satan (Woland). That said, it might also just be a result of the indulgent behavior of a man enjoying his position as the head of the theater.
The stranger explains that he has been waiting for an hour for Styopa to wake up—apparently the two men had arranged to have a meeting. "Here I am!" says the stranger. Styopa remembers nothing of the sort. The stranger tells Styopa that the only cure for his hangover is to take "like with like"—to drink some more vodka. Styopa looks around the room, amazed to see that the stranger has prepared a tray with bread, caviar, mushrooms, and vodka.
The reader rarely sees Woland in transition between two places; instead, he is more likely to just appear. Styopa is understandably shocked to see an unknown man in his room. Though seemingly a fairly throwaway comment, perhaps Woland's suggestion that Styopa take "like with like" is a hint at the motivations of his overall project—to use deception, manipulation and dishonesty to highlight how these traits are already operational in society.
Memories of the night before start to return to Styopa as he eats the breakfast and drinks the vodka—but none of them chime with the stranger that he sees before him. Sensing Styopa's confusion, the stranger announces who he is: "Professor of black magic Woland."
Woland presentation of himself as a practitioner of black magic highlights his use of spectacle in fulfilling his mission. He plays on people's fears, but also enjoys the idea that they might explain strange events away as mere "magic" (i.e. tricks).
Woland proceeds to recount the previous day's events for Styopa. Apparently, Woland had visited Styopa and agreed a contract for seven performances at the Variety theatre. This meeting, says Woland, was arrange so that they could go through the details. Woland had arrived to find Styopa asleep and, rather than wake him there and then, sent out the housekeeper, Grunya, to fetch breakfast for Styopa.
Woland takes advantage of Styopa's fragile state of mind to re-write events that have already happened, mimicking the authoritarian tendency to do the same.
Styopa asks to look at the contract. When Woland produces the document, Styopa is amazed to see his signature on there, alongside that of the Variety findirector," Rimsky. Woland's signature is on there too, verifying his receipt of ten thousand roubles.
Styopa finds it hard to argue with the sight of his signature on a contract, gesturing to the importance of bureaucracy in the Soviet Union.
Styopa decides to telephone Rimsky to check if what Woland says is true. Rimsky confirms that Styopa had indeed approved and signed the contract yesterday, and adds that the posters for the shows are nearly ready. As Styopa turns to look in the mirror, he notices a tall man (Koroviev) wearing a pince-nez that seems to disappear suddenly—and a black cat.
With Rimsky confirming Woland's account of the day before, Styopa is forced to believe that the error is his. This is part of an overall pattern of Wol'nd's, which uses official bureaucracy to bring about his fantastical aims. The two characters Styopa notices are Koroviev and Behemoth.
Styopa calls out to Grunya to ask what the black cat and the tall man are doing in the apartment. Woland responds, saying they are with him, and that he has sent Grunya off for a vacation. The two new figures are now in Styopa's bedroom. Styopa can't believe his eyes: the huge black cat seems to be drinking vodka and eating mushrooms from the tray. Woland reassures him—this is his retinue.
Grunya, like the apartment's previous inhabitants, has been "disappeared." Behemoth's indulgence in food and drink is subtly reminiscent of the preceding scene at Griboedov's. Woland does not use aggressive tactics to manipulate events, instead destabilizing his targets' minds and instilling them with fear.
The tall man with the pince-nez talks with a goatish voice, telling Styopa off for drinking too much and abusing his position in aid of "liaisons with women." A fourth character appears: a short, broad-shouldered man, "with a bowler hat on his head and a fang sticking out of his mouth … and with flaming red hair." This man carries on the other's line of discussion, saying he can't understand how Styopa "got to be a director."
Until this point, the reader has had little sense of Styopa's own wrongdoings—if any. Koroviev's comments show that the gang's targeting of Styopa is directly linked to his own behavior (as was Berlioz's). Essentially, it boils down to Styopa being a self-serving individual who, like the Griboedov writers, abuses his state-endorsed position. The new character is Azazello.
Suddenly the cat shouts "Scat!" Styopa feels a knock on the head and loses consciousness, thinking that perhaps he is dying. But he doesn't die; instead, he wakes up on a jetty in Yalta, a far-away coastal town. Styopa asks a stranger where he is; he passes out when he hears the answer.
The supernatural transportation of Styopa mimics the "disappearing" of people who do not stick to the Soviet script. The comedy of Styopa's punishment allows Bulgakov to show gesture towards state exile and murder while avoiding making it too obvious.

Snow, frigid temparetures blanket South; Oxford to Shreveport get measurable snow
Published 8:10 am Tuesday, January 16, 2018
The snow is still coming down in North Mississippi this morning, closing schools and delaying the opening of essential businesses like banks.
Oxford, in the heart of North Mississippi, had about 1 inch on the ground as of 8 a.m. this morning and it was still forecast to snow another 1 to 2 hours, giving a likely snow total is 1.5 to 2 inches — the largest of this season.
Complicating the situation are frigid temperatures, with a high of just 22 degrees and a forecast low tonight of 7.
Snow falling in Louisiana during the pre-dawn hours prompted the closure of multiple interstates as a winter weather system took aim at other states across the Deep South, forecasters said.
The National Weather Service on Tuesday issued winter storm warnings in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi.
Winter weather advisories covered most of Alabama and much of Georgia. Several school districts across the region canceled classes.
Snow was falling before dawn Tuesday in Louisiana and Mississippi, and was expected to move into Alabama and Georgia later Tuesday.
In Louisiana, state officials said both lanes of Interstate 49 in the Shreveport area were closed early Tuesday. Parts of I-20 and I-220 were also closed.
In Jackson, Mississippi, city offices were closed. Up to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) of snow was possible in Mississippi's Delta region.
In Alabama, schools were closing or altering operating hours Tuesday as far south as south Alabama, and numerous businesses and government offices closed because of the threat. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has declared a state of emergency.
Alabama officials were trying to avoid a repeat of four years ago, when a winter storm blanketed central Alabama and left motorists stranded on roads in metro Birmingham for hours. Teachers and students camped out in schools.
Forecasters aren't predicting a large amount of snow for Alabama — just 2 inches (5 centimeters) or less with more in spots. But they say temperatures steadily falling into the teens could freeze anything that comes down.

The demolition of the Amcor paper factory in Alphington is looking like a war zone. The destruction of this site is making way for a housing development but in the meantime it's making some great subject matter for photographers.
Greg Wayn has been photographing there periodically and his panoramas capture the epic scale of this site. You can see more work posted on his Photoworks blog.
Some people just never give up. At age 83, the esteemed photographer Duane Michals has recently produced a new portfolio.
You can see the complete folio on the DC Moore gallery website.
Michals at work in his tiny workspace.
This handsome picture was made by the great Australian photographer Harold Cazneaux. It's a finely balanced play of abstract shapes and it came out of a plum job.
In the early 1930s, Cazneaux was given the best commission one could imagine: shoot all of BHP's industrial and mining installations throughout Australia in your own way. He was given a year or more to do it and the results were to be published in prestige jubilee publication in 1934. The resulting book, which I once bought for just one dollar, was full of his images in beautiful duotone printing on textured paper.
By the 1930s, Cazneaux was our most eminent photographer. He had won international attention for his Pictorialist photographs, was the first to hold a solo exhibition of photographs, had established an art photography movement, and was well known as a society portraitist and landscape artist. The BHP assignment rounded out his CV with industrial photographs of great beauty.
One of the marks of this work is the way it applies Pictorialist aesthetics to a subject normally associated with the hard modern look of the Bauhaus style. Where Cazneaux emphasized smoke and haze as a way of screening the harsh realities of industry, the German photographers emphasized the brutal steel and concrete as forming a new machine art. To illustrate this, just compare these relatively soft images with the later industrial work of Wolfgang Sievers who was trained in a Bauhaus-style photography school in Berlin.
This is the invitation card for my new exhibition, opening next Wednesday, August 12. After Words is a group exhibition, the fourth annual show with five of my former students. Each year during meetings we pitch titles to the group until we all agree, then that becomes the theme for the next show.
After Words is a good title as it's broad enough and narrow enough to allow for individual interpretation. My work is a series of close ups of a decayed prayer book found decades ago in a tip. The words in the text are broken up making a sort of landscape of paper and word fragments.
I've used a 10×8 camera, the largest film format, and made scans of the details within the negatives. Greg Wayn has given me technical assistance, notably in capturing the colour toning used by photographer Olivia Parker in her Signs of Life project.
After Words is opening at Tacit Contemporary Art on August 12 at 6.30pm, 312 Johnston St, Abbotsford.

Home › Vehicles › All › 1955 STUDEBAKER SPEEDSTER
1955 STUDEBAKER SPEEDSTER
Manufacturer: Studebaker
Model: President
Engine: 418 Passmaster
Style: 2-door hardtop
Radio: Yes
Air-conditioning: No
History: This rust-free Speedster has been restored in Scottsdale, Arizona by a well-respected and long-established shop. Mechanicals were thoroughly attended to and most chrome and gold plating was redone. Taillights and exhaust tips are NOS. The correct leather interior and paint were done 10 years ago and can attest to the proper care this car has been given since then.
Chevrolet had finally put its small block V8 engine into the Corvette and had shown Corvette-based concepts wearing Oldsmobile and Pontiac badges and styling cues. Ford had introduced its new two-seat Thuderbird. Chrysler didn't have a production sports car but had unveiled concepts for the genre including the Special Sports Coupe, the Falcon, the Dodge Granada, the Firearrow series, and the Plymouth Explorer.
Kaiser had actually beaten GM in the fiberglass body-building race with its sliding-door sports car, the Darrin. Were that not enough, Jaguar's XK120 was tearing up country roads and road racing tracks. And, of course, there were MGs (TDs and the new TF), Triumphs, Porsche 356s, and 250 GT and 375 America Ferraris.
By the mid-1950s, sports cars — or at least two-seaters that looked like sports cars — were all the rage among America's post-war driving enthusiasts.
Studebaker was desperate to participate, though the historic but financially struggling automaker from South Bend, Indiana, simply couldn't afford to tool up an all-new and purpose-built model. So it did the next best thing. It rolled out the Studebaker Speedster, a car built only for the 1955 model year.
"They built 2,215 of them," said car collector Gordon Apker. They built them because of the Corvette, Thunderbird, Jaguar XK120, and Kaiser Darrin. Everyone was building a sports car, so Studebaker decided to build a sports car too, but it didn't have a budget for it, so it took its top of the line model, the President, and tweaked it.
In 1955, Studebaker returned the President model to its lineup for the first time since 1942. But instead of an upright, big-fendered, pre-war car, the new President was a Raymond Loewy-designed car, available as a 4-door sedan, a 2-door coupe or as the low-slung, 2-door Speedster.
Presidents were powered by a 175 horsepower, 259.2 cid. V8 engine. However, for the special Speedster version of the car, the engine was tuned to provide 185 horsepower and 258 ft-lb of torque while breathing through a 4-barrel Carter carburetor and exhaling through a dual exhaust system.
The standard equipment list allowed buyers to choose either an automatic or overdrive transmission. The car also came with power steering and brakes, an 8-tube radio, tinted glass, 2-speed windshield window wipers, Speedster badges with checkered flag emblems and more. (Cars built in South Bend wore Speedster badges, while those built in Los Angeles had President and Speedster insignia on their quarter panels.)
Inside, the Speedster had a very special engine-turned dashboard — much like some historic Duesenbergs had featured — with a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a needle that could point to 8,000 rpm. Seats were covered with quilted leather.
To enhance the Speedster's visual appeal, it had a Crown Vic-style basket handle over its roof panel, a gold-plated hood ornament, and was available in half a dozen 2-tone and even two 3-tone paint combinations.
The most memorable of those color combinations was a Hialeah Green and Sun Valley Yellow duo known as "Lemon and Lime," which is the paint scheme of this Speedster.
This car would make an excellent addition to a photo shoot, special event, commercial, or movie production. Just click Get Quote or call (423) 479-5353 today.

Titus Community Review – Legit or Huge Scam?
Thank you for taking the time to read our Titus Community review. Be sure to know every bit about cryptocurrency on our review page. It's very important to be sure on what business you get into.
Headed by CEO of Titus Community Maxim Moneta, it operates in the cryptocurrency niche.
According to the corporate bio of Moneta in Titus Community, he hails from Ukraine.
However, for the past five years Moneta has lived in Stockholm, Sweden, where he was involved in many startup IT projects.
Seemingly, Titus Community is not managed from Sweden. However, the company seems to have companies in multiple European jurisdictions.
The operating company in the Titus sphere is Titus Community.
Both the community and networking model is important in the generation of various distributors able to connect online and offline merchants to the world of Titus Coin.
The connected companies will join the loyalty program of Titus Community and offer many discounts and cash backs.
Titus Community Ltd is operated by the 30% of the profits from these services and profits are advanced to the Titus Invest Ltd.
Titus Invest Ltd is registered in Malta and holds the Intellectual Properties and 100% of the Titus Community Ltd shares.
Maddox Business Services Ltd in London, UK owns 90% of Titus Invest Ltd and the remaining 10% is shared with VIP Coin Sparkassa Financial union.
VIP Coin Sparkassa, a Swedish Financial Union, is controlled by the Swedish Financial Inspection according to the law (2004:296).
It seems too extreme for an MLM company.
It is an external service appointed by Titus Community and Titus Invest in order to deliver sales activities, compliance services, payment services, and operational functions.
Fennas Finance was first seen in the year 2015. It appeared as a part of the ponzi scheme of the Ichon Sachs Ltd.
Since the ownership of Ichon Sachs Ltd is also unknown, probably Fennas Finance was a suspicious payment processor run by anonymous persons.
Also, things get murky as Elena Anguelova Chipkovenska, Henning Witte, and Tor Anders Petteroe are listed as board members according to Swedish incorporation records for VIP Coin Sparkassa.
Tor Andres is the Towah Group's CEO, a man responsible for loss of millions of dollars in ponzi scheme in the past.
Recently, Harald Ekker, the owner of Towah launched Crowbridge Global, his own ponzi scheme.
An investigation into the Towah Group was opened in 2013 by Norway's FSA. However, it seems like no action was taken against the owner. Ekker and Petteroe still remain.
There is no clue as to who Anguelova is but she is the Russian/Ukrainian connection between Fennas Finance and Towah.
In Swedish, Moderbolag means parent company. It means Anders is the owner of Fennas Finance and it points out that he was also the man behind Ichon Sachs Ltd.
This appears as a crucial link as VIP Coin Sparkassa is behind the sale of Titus Coins to the affiliates of Titus Community.
As stated, VIP Coin Sparkassa was granted 200 million Titus coins. The coins were to be sold the Titus Community members.
In other words, Anders controls all the money coming in and going out of Titus Community.
The remaining things are for mere show.
It reveals why the corporate structure of Titus Community appears like an organized crime organization instead of a legitimate MLM company.
Read further to know about the MLM opportunity of Titus Community.
No retail products or services are offered by Titus Community. The affiliates are only able to market the affiliate membership of Titus Community.
The affiliates of Titus Community signs up and invest in Titus Coins.
Ambassador JR: Invests €200 to get 200 Titus Coins.
Ambassador: Invests €1000 to get 1000 Titus Coins.
As the affiliates of Titus Community employ others who make investment, commissions are paid.
The recruitment commissions are paid down to 2 levels of recruitment using a unilevel structure.
Level 1 (personally employed affiliates): A commission of 15% on invested funds.
Level 2: A commission of 10% on invested funds.
The affiliates of Titus Community who invest at the Ambassador level also taks part in the Titan Ambassador Pool.
15% of company-wide invested funds build Titan the Ambassador Pool which is divided among all the affiliates of Titus Ambassador level.
Income potential through the compensation plan of Titus Community is the main difference between the two positions.
Though Titus Coin is marked with the typical cliché, 'we are better than bitcoin,' it is not currently publicly tradeable.
Titus Coin is mentioned as a digital currency which can be transacted instantly.
Titus Community aim to introduce a merchant network through which the affiliates will be able to use Titus Coins.
However, the harsh truth is, no legitimate merchant will accept ponzi points introduced by serial scammers.
The affiliates of Titus Community are sold Titus Coins by Towah Group at a rate of €1 per coin.
As the number of merchants who are affiliated expand, there will be an increase in the use of Titus Coins.
The coin value will increase with increased use of coin, but it will also lead to the increase of bonuses paid to the members.
In theory it sounds nice. But who will attach their legitimate business to ponzi points?
In the future, Titus Coin might go public which will push the value of coin higher.
Nevertheless, with affiliates as the only interested parties, Titus Coin will eventually see its downfall like every MLM ponzi scheme.
Towah Group is selling the affiliates of Titus Community a dream.
The company accepts real cash for valueless points on the promise of future value and offers the commissions of investors to employ fresh investors.
It is a new opportunity but it is more or less the same with Petteroe and the Towah Group swindlers.

With Queen Elizabeth's record-breaking reign in the news, it's an opportune time to celebrate all the artists who thrived during her tenure. Accordingly, Drawing's exhibition of the month for September is "Pastoral to Pop: 20th-Century Britain on Paper," on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, through February 21. The show includes more than 50 British prints and drawings, highlighting the richness and variety of British art from the past century.
The earliest works in the exhibition come from a time when Impressionism was still fresh, and the exhibition progresses through several Modernist movements, eventually leading to Pop Art, which exploded in Britain in the early 1960s. Among the artists on view are Lucian Freud, Cyril Power, Richard Hamilton, Patrick Caulfield, Gillian Ayres and David Hockney.
Below is a small sample of some of the British prints and drawings in this lively drawing exhibition. For more information, visit the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. And to stay abreast of drawing exhibitions and other great museum shows, subscribe to Drawing magazine.

NORDIC GUIDE 2021
Interview	6 Nov, 2021
Interview: Rikke Storm Overgaard, Restaurant Moment
How big part of the menu is locally sourced produce? Max 250 kilometers from the restaurant.
95-99%. That said, although we firmly believe that sustainable gastronomy should take "what grows nearby" as the point of departure for our food, we are also convinced that one must carefully investigate every product to understand its impact. We believe sustainable choices should be based on evidence and knowledge rather than a simple "one size fits all" (e.g., that distance is the only relevant perspective). We intend to create new gastronomy with sustainability at the center – where chefs and other people create food based on what is available where they are – with an understanding of and interest in working with nature rather than dominating it.
What efforts are being made – and what safety nets are in place – to avoid or capture discrimination, bullying, and verbal and physical abuse, which can result in mental illness among employees?
We take our time to listen to all staff members' needs, and as a group, we support each other. The restaurant owner, Rikke, is in the restaurant almost every day and sees it as part of her job that everybody – from the most to the least central staff members – is happy. Moment works as a "family," and no internal fights or fractioning is accepted.
Tell us about your view on sustainability when it comes to beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
We import much of our wine to know the producer, and we serve so-called natural wine only. Wine is a perfect example of a typically highly manipulated product from an often very polluting industry where we (in a non-preaching way) have a chance to inform guests how to make more sustainable and healthy choices. Some of our wines may appear unusual to the typical restaurant guest; some do not – as it is a point in and of itself to show that doing things naturally does not involve one specific style or taste. We also offer fermented juices that we make ourselves – small quantities at the time, and we never try to repeat a "recipe." The juices are fermented using, e.g., kombucha or water kefir, and the products are, of course, selected the same way as the products available to the kitchen – from our garden and the immediate nature

The ESDA 2017 Charity Golf Day was held on 6 September 2017 at the Glendower Golf Course. The day was filled with fun, and some serious golf in which numerous companies sent teams to participate.
The day culminated in the evening dinner and prizegiving ceremony, where a host of prizes were handed out to various players and teams. And just to confirm that golf is no longer a man's game, the evening's MC, John Rogers, noted that the award for the longest drive of the day went to a female golfer.
Following the prizegiving, Rogers held a combination of a raffle and auction where he distributed the many prizes companies in the security industry donated for the event. The prizes ranged from upmarket bottles of wine to a R2000 Takealot voucher. Then there were goodie bags, vouchers for a free round of golf for two people and a stunning flatscreen HD television, which all quickly found their way to new owners.
The big news of the day, however, was the charity which was all in aid of The Soweto Animal Rescue and Advisory Centre (SARAC). Jerry Selwane is the founder of SARAC and was there on the day to introduce a furry friend to the game of golf.
SARAC has grown from humble beginnings in Naledi, Soweto, to owning its own premises in Zuurbekom. It provides support to the poorer community in Soweto, helping to provide them with dog food, sterilisation of pets, veterinary care, vaccinations and dipping. Unless the circumstances are dire, SARAC avoids removing animals, preferring to educate the owner, improve the animal's life, and then monitor the situation. School and community workshops are arranged to teach animal husbandry (how to care for animals).
In addition, SARAC is an animal shelter for stray, abused and abandoned animals, which are rehabilitated and rehomed. SARAC also has the assistance of Jerry's Rangers, community children who help on outreaches and are 'watchdogs' in the community, reporting any animal cruelty.
At the end of the evening, the charity day proved a roaring success and a total of R24 000 was donated to SARAC (the final total reached R35 000 when all donations were received), much to Jerry's delight.
A word of thanks is due to everyone who made the day a success, and to Linda de Beer (www.whitecliffs.co.za), who donated her time to ensure the event and the golfers were all captured in her photographs.


World number one struggles to an opening round of 73 in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Rory McIlroy suffered a Ryder Cup hangover as he struggled to an opening round of 73 in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
The world number one, who helped Europe ease to victory over the United States last weekend, made one birdie and two bogeys at Carnoustie, one of the three Scottish courses hosting the tournament.
Scotland's Stephen Gallacher, who lost both his matches at the Ryder Cup, found his form with a four-under-par 68, four shots behind leader Oliver Wilson of England.
Victorious Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley had to settle for a 72 on his return to action after masterminding the win over the US at Gleneagles.
Frenchman Victor Dubuisson, who contributed 2 1/2 points to Europe's victory as a rookie, opened with a 71, three shots better than another struggling Ryder Cup team mate, Martin Kaymer of Germany.
Former British Open champion Padraig Harrington carded a 66 to climb to joint third place on the leaderboard, level with fellow Irishman Shane Lowry, one stroke behind Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin and two adrift of Wilson.

Episode of the Week: Meet Jonas Quinn
SG-1 says goodbye to one of its own. Rewatch with us this week!
Episodes | June 6, 2016
JUNE IS JONAS QUINN MONTH!
SG-1: Season Five
First Aired: May 10, 2002
Daniel Jackson is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation while visiting an alien civilization that is building a weapon of mass destruction.
Our rewatch of favorite moments in Stargate history continues! Each month we'll pick a theme, and feature a key episode every week. Join us by watching the episode this week, and then head to GateWorld Forum (or posting below) to talk about it!
Welcome To The Team …
Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec) is a member of the Kelownans, a human species whose technology level is about on par with World War II-era Europe and the United States.
The Kelownans are actually one of three rival nations on the same planet, which they eventually got together and decided to name Langara.
Langara is one of those rare planets with a high amount of the rare element naquadria — much more powerful than regular naquadah, the element that the Stargates are made out of, and which powers much Goa'uld technology.
Jonas sought asylum from his government for a time, during which he served as a member of the SG-1 team.
… But his long-term goal is the health and security of his people, which brought him back home to help them take their place in the larger galaxy Jonas had seen first-hand.
"Meridian" Facts:
As Stargate SG-1 wrapped up its fifth and final year on Showtime and prepared to head to basic cable, fans were stunned by the news (first shared by executive producer Brad Wright during a convention appearance) that co-star and fan favorite Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) was leaving the series. Why? Shanks wanted to try other things, and expressed a general disappointment with how his character was being used in recent years.
The ascension storyline presented the writers with a real opportunity: Daniel's character could actually be killed off in dramatic and heroic fashion … and yet at the same time the groundwork could be laid to potentially bring him back one day. Ascension also brought the ever-inquisitive archaeologist a look at the mysteries of the Ancients to which he had dedicated his life.
Jonas (Corin Nemec) was introduced in the episode to lay the groundwork for his return as a main cast member in Season Six — the first main cast change the show experienced. The fan reaction was swift and severe, with many Daniel fans rallying for Shanks' return and coming out against his replacement. The fact that Daniel had died as a result of Jonas' own cowardice certainly didn't make things any easier — though Jonas would devote himself to making up for his mistakes.
Although the ascended Oma Desala had been introduced back in Season Three ("Maternal Instinct"), this is the first appearance of actress Mel Harris in the role.
"Meridian" is the first episode directed by William Waring, who joined the show as a camera operator in Season Five. Waring would direct 13 episodes of SG-1 plus 16 hours of Atlantis and 9 of SGU.

Yes, let's celebrating all the characters in Stargate and Jonas has an interesting story arc. However, Meridian is for me and many SG1 fans the saddest episode in the whole franchise since Daniel dies–a terrible death–and ascends. It was not the best way to introduce a new interesting character to the show and not the best way to celebrate him here. Please, be mindful to the fact that Daniel Jackson was a central character in the movie and the show and much beloved by fans.
I loved the addition of Jonas to the show. I thought he added a needed refreshing change.
Joe Friday
I always felt bad that we didn't see more of Jonas after he returned home. Especially when SGU did an episode on Langara and Jonas wasn't even mentioned.
Solstice0612 – I don't see any disrespect to Daniel here, which seems to be what your post implies. And he was not "much beloved" by me. He was just a member of the team to me, and I liked others far better. :)
Mrja84
I love this episode and I love Jonas. This was really the time that I joined the series full-time since it would no longer be on Showtime (which never knew until a few years later). I had been catching it in syndication land prior. This is not disrespectful to Daniel or his fans. This marks Jona's debut and love it or hate it, Jonas debuted here. I actually LOVE that Jonas' actions caused such an impact. That meant the character had a good arc set for him. He's actually my favorite along with Mitchell since they both were new to… Read more »

Q: Jquery Element Usage
Possible Duplicate:
How to get a DOM Element from a JQuery Selector

I know using normal javascript i can do
formitem.validity.valid

or
formitem.checkValidity();

How do i use Jquery to call these functions?
Below im using a custom attribute selector to get my element but cant seem to use it like below...
$('[data-dependID=pobText]').validity.valid

or
$('[data-dependID=pobText]').formitem.checkValidity();

Simple but how do i do this?

A: Use Get,
i.e.
$('[data-dependID=pobText]').get(0).formitem.checkValidity();

A: You need to get DOM Node for that:
$('[data-dependID=pobText]').get(0).validity.valid;
$('[data-dependID=pobText]').get(0).formitem.checkValidity();

A: Use .get(n) to get the nth element as a DOM object, or just [n]
$('selector').get(n).foo

or
$('selector')[n].foo

A: jQuery calls to the DOM return an array-like object and so you can access the DOM elements in the "array" by an index. The get() method does the same thing, only that it encapsulates this in a function call (which is an overhead).
Better use the index instead:
$('[data-dependID=pobText]')[n].validity.valid;
$('[data-dependID=pobText]')[n].checkValidity();

Tech Insider: Samsung Galaxy S9, Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro, Moto G6 Plus
Today in Tech Insider: Samsung will hold the announcement of Galaxy S9 in virtual reality; Moto G6 Plus will be released in five different colors; Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro characteristics and renderers are in the network.
Samsung will hold the announcement of Galaxy S9 in virtual reality
In the new version of Unpacked from Samsung appeared the announcement of the presentation of the new flagships Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus. Already on February 25, anyone can evaluate the appearance of smartphones with the help of virtual reality, but enthusiasts from the XDA website opened the contents of the APK-file and activated the presentation ahead of time. This didn't create a sensation – Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus in the application are shown exactly the same as we imagined it.
Two "live" photos from the retailer Cườngmobile confirmed that Samsung will continue to use the proprietary superstructure Knox to create a secure environment in Android. Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus will receive a preinstalled operating system Android 8.0 Oreo.
Another interesting leak was the official video from Samsung, which hinted at the impact resistance of Galaxy S9. In the story, the owner drops the phone, and no one can catch him. It's possible that the line will get advanced protective properties with a resistance to fall, like LG G6 a year earlier.
Sources from South Korea told that Samsung will open pre-order for new items on February 28 and dispatch smartphones to future owners in the period from 9 to 15 of March.
The start of sales is scheduled on March 16.
Moto G6 Plus will be released in five different colors
Resource Android Headlines published a render with five different colors of the back cover of the new budget smartphone Moto G6 Plus. It's made of glass and metal, which gives an impression of premium. The novelty debuts in silver, gold, white, blue and azure colors.
Moto G6 Plus runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, is equipped with a battery for 3,250 mAh and Android 8 Oreo operating system. This and other new items of Moto will be shown on MWC 2018.
Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro characteristics and renderings are in the network
Roland Quandt published high-quality renderings and detailed specifications of the new tablet computer Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro. From the usual M5, it will be different with a case with a keyboard for convenient work with documents. In addition, the device will support the stylus M-Pen and LTE.
The case of Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro will be made of metal. We are waiting for a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, 4 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB ROM, Kirin 960 processor, 4 980 mAh battery and Android 8.0 Oreo operating system.
The expected price is € 520.
