>armed protesters gathered in Richmond today to protest against tyrant Ralph Northam. Northam, governor of Virginia, is best known for his love of wearing blackface and his hatred of minorities being able to protect themselves. Pic related, it is Northam. Is he the one wearing black face or is he the one dressed in the Klan robe? No one knows, but really is either of them any better?

Fundraiser to push button at Trump Plaza demolition canceled after owner objects
Anonymous Mon 18 Jan 2021 21:45:46 No.772883 ViewReplyOriginalReport
https://www.nj.com/atlantic/2021/01/fundraiser-to-push-button-at-trump-plaza-demo-canceled-after-owner-objects.html
Pushing the button to implode the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City will no longer be up for auction, after the building's current owners objected, those involved told NJ Advance Media.
The auction was canceled after lawyers for IEP AC Plaza LLC, a subsidiary company of Ichan Enterprises, which owns the building, said they were unaware of the fundraiser and demanded it stop, Joseph Bodnar, owner of Bodnar's Auction, said Monday morning.
"I said, well, this is news to me because we were led to believe by the mayor's office that this was all copacetic, and we never even thought to reach out to find out any information on like, what the legalities are," Bodnar said.
Ichan Enterprises cited safety concerns for wanting to nix the fundraiser, Bodnar said, and were unwilling to find a compromise.
"All we need is someone to be there on a walkie-talkie to give us a countdown so the person can push a fake button and make it feel like they're actually pushing the button— we weren't asking for them to push the actual detonator or anything of that nature," Bodnar said.
After two weeks of back and forth with attorneys for Ichan Enterprises, Bodnar was hit with a cease and desist letter and forced to remove the fundraiser.
Bodnar said communication with Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small's office also broke down after Ichan Enterprises got involved.
"The last contact I had with the mayor's about a week and a half ago, and he swore that this was going to go through and that we would come to some kind of agreement," but the agreement never came, Bodnar said.
Small did not return multiple requests for comment from NJ Advance Media.
The cancellation of the fundraiser is a hit to the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City, which has ramped up operations to serve one of the hardest hit communities in American during the coronavirus pandemic. Small had hoped the fundraiser could generate $1 million for the charity.
"If there is any time that the Club needs support, it is now. Losing the potential funding this event could have provided to the Club is truly a shame, it is a sincere loss for our next generation," Stephanie Koch, the C.E.O. of the organization, said in a statement sent to NJ Advance Media.
Previously an after school program, the Club had expanded its hours to allow children to do virtual schooling from their centers and provide hot meals.
The bidding was already at $175,000 less than a week before a live auction, with the potential to top $500,000, Bodnar said.
"That's a lot of money that could have changed the lives of a lot of children in the town, and it's just a shame all the way around that it couldn't get together," Bodnar said.
Pre-implosion demolition work is well underway on the building, which closed to the public in 2014. An implosion date had been set for Jan. 29, but Small told the Press of Atlantic City it would be pushed back to some time in February.
>Don't ask for permission to hold fundraiser
>Company notices and shuts it down
>Complain to news in effort to publicly shame the company
They should have cleared this with everyone involved before offering it. Absolutely shoddy job by Bodnar's.

Major NRA donor to challenge gun group's bankruptcy over alleged fraud
Complaint could stop top NRA executives from discharging a substantial portion of the organisation's debts
A major donor to the National Rifle Association is poised to challenge key aspects of the gun group's bankruptcy filing, in an attempt to hold executives accountable for allegedly having defrauded their members of millions of dollars to support their own lavish lifestyles.
Dave Dell'Aquila, a former tech company boss who has donated more than $100,000 to the NRA, told the Guardian on Saturday he was preparing to lodge a complaint in US bankruptcy court in Dallas, Texas. If successful, it could stop top NRA executives discharging a substantial portion of the organisation's debts.
NRA files for bankruptcy and seeks to incorporate in Texas
It could also stop Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's controversial longtime chief executive, avoiding ongoing lawsuits that allege he defrauded the pro-gun group's members to pay for luxury travel to the Bahamas and Europe and high-end Zegna suits.
LaPierre has denied the allegations of financial impropriety, insisting in a letter to NRA members that the group is "well-governed, financially solvent and committed to good governance".
Dell'Aquila's complaint, likely to be brought within the next few weeks, would use a provision of the bankruptcy code to prevent the NRA from sidestepping more than $60m of debt on grounds it was improperly incurred. The law stipulates that debts acquired through malfeasance can be deemed by the court to be an exception to bankruptcy arrangements.

BLM activist inside Capitol claims he was 'documenting' riots
>theeeeeeeeeeeeeere goes the narrative......
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/anti-trump-activist-entered-capitol-wednesday
John Sullivan has previously called for 'revolution' and to 'rip Trump' out of his office.
An anti-Trump activist who once said he wanted to "rip" the president out of office entered the Capitol Building Wednesday alongside a mob of pro-Trump protesters, but he said he was just there to "document" it.
"There's this narrative going around right now that Antifa was the people there causing the riots, causing the tension, they were the only people breaking into the Capitol, and I wanted to be able to tell a part of history and show that that was anything but the case," John Sullivan, the founder of Utah-based Insurgence USA, told Fox News Thursday.
Insurgence USA describes itself as "the revolution." It began protesting racial injustice in policing last year following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
In August 2020 remarks to a small crowd at a Washington, D.C., intersection, Sullivan pointed to the nearby White House and unleashed a torrent of violent rhetoric. "We ... about to burn this s--- down," he said. "We gotta ... rip Trump right out of that office right there," he continued, adding, "We ain't about ... waiting until the next election." He then led the crowd in a chant of, "It's time for revolution." Video of his remarks, which include graphic language, can be found here.Sullivan told Fox News he didn't notice other activists inside the building. But he added that he couldn't know for sure without speaking to everyone individually.
"As far as being able to understand who is in the crowd, based on being around protests a lot … I didn't see any people who were originally at BLM protests," he said.Sullivan says he was standing near Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt when she was shot and killed in the Capitol, and video appears to show him on the scene.

thought you guys love Fox since they are all antitrump now. I still laugh wondering what you shills are going to whine about when the sole focus of your ire has left the building?

NYC man arrested on Capitol riot charges freed on $100K bond
NEW YORK (AP) — The son of a New York City judge who was arrested by the FBI on charges that he was among the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol was ordered Tuesday by a different judge to stay away from Washington.
Aaron Mostofsky, 34, was picked up at his brother's home in Brooklyn on Tuesday morning, about a week after he was seen inside the Capitol wearing a fur costume and a police vest he is accused of stealing during the mayhem.
At a teleconference hearing in federal court in Brooklyn, Mostofsky's lawyer argued that the evidence didn't back up the accusations. Mostofsky was released on $100,000 bond but banned from traveling Washington except for purposes of prosecution of his case there.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Josh Hafetz told a magistrate judge in Brooklyn federal court that the government would agree to Mostofsky's release even though it was "deeply troubled by the conduct of the defendant" in a "mob attack."
The charges include a felony count of theft of government property — a bulletproof police vest worth $1,905 and a riot shield valued at $265.
Court papers show how investigators are combing through internet communications to identify alleged offenders like Mostofsky, who referred to himself as a "caveman" eager to protest the presidential election results.
FBI agents were seen on a social media clip posted Tuesday appearing to remove part of his fur getup from the residence where he was arrested.
Mostofsky's unusual garb made him stand out from the crowd of camouflage-wearing, flag-waving marauders. At one point, he was photographed sitting on a bench near the Senate chamber holding a stick and the riot shield, which he said he picked up off the floor.

A left-wing activist charged for his alleged participation in the Capitol Hill riot maintains control of his Twitter and YouTube accounts, Fox News has learned.
John Sullivan, 26, recorded an up-close video of a woman's fatal shooting during the Jan. 6 Capitol siege and can allegedly be heard egging on protesters in a video he shared on his YouTube and Twitter accounts under the pseudonym Jayden X.
Sullivan is accused of taking part and encouraging rioters as they swept through the building. He allegedly wore a gas mask and had a knife at the time of the siege, court papers show. He can be heard telling rioters that "We got to get this s--- burned," and "it's our house m------------," according to an affidavit signed by FBI Special Agent Matthew Foulger.

Trump will leave office with his lowest approval rating ever.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/16/us/politics/trump-approval-rating.html
Throughout four years of scandals and investigations, President Trump has maintained an approval rating that rarely budged from a 10-point band between 35 and 45 percent. Nothing he could say, do or tweet appeared to dramatically change public opinion of him.
But the events of Jan. 6 — when a violent mob of Trump supporters incited by the president stormed the Capitol — appear to have damaged him in his final days in office in a way that finally moved the needle.
Mr. Trump is set to depart office on Wednesday with an approval rating of 29 percent, the lowest of his presidency, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center.
About 75 percent of the public said Mr. Trump bore some responsibility for the violence and destruction of Jan. 6, which put the lives of the vice president and members of Congress at risk and resulted in five deaths, according to the survey.
And his behavior since the election — a period during which he has repeatedly tried to contest his loss, relied on conspiracy theorists for advice, encouraged supporters who do not view President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. as legitimate, and refused to concede — has cost Mr. Trump support even with those individuals who have loyally supported him up until now.
According to Pew, the share of his supporters who described his conduct as "poor" has doubled, from 10 percent to 20 percent, over the past two months.
Mr. Biden, in contrast, has benefited from how he has handled the transition period. About 64 percent of voters said they had a positive opinion of his conduct since the November election. The majority of voters said they also approved of his cabinet selections.
>The polls didn't fail as badly as you think they did.
They failed SPECTACULARLY. This is completely undeniable.
Yes, it is a state. A state with ludicrous election laws.
That image strikes me. It really is a downfall of a once interesting 80s celebrity into a failure.
>California is an American State like any other.
If you ignore the fact that it's economy is the 5th largest in the world compared to every other country. The Federal tax revenue from CA and NY literally keep most of the red States from looking more like northern Mexico than they already do. States like MS, AL, LA, AR, OK, etc. would entirely collapse w/o the largess from blue states. But like ungrateful children, they whine about blue States being, get this, socialist, lol!
>They failed SPECTACULARLY. This is completely undeniable
The polls did not fail. Pollsters failed. The election in 2016 in particular did not follow the specific data trends that have traditionally been used to predict elections. The polls were not wrong. You know absolutely nothing about polls or how they're used. About a week before the 2016 election it was predicted that, when corrected for most unknown variables, Trump had about a 20-25% chance of winning. He ended up winning. If I tell you that you only have a 20% chance of winning a bet and then you win that doesn't make the data incorrect. It just means the thing that had a 20% chance of happening happened. Statistically unlikely things happen all the time. This is basic statistics, anon. Please, stop pretending like you have any idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Far Right Wing Propaganda Site Breitbart Plunges Into Their Own Civil War Over Trump's Failed Coup
Anonymous Sat 16 Jan 2021 20:21:52 No.771423 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
https://www.thedailybeast.com/breitbart-staffers-clashed-over-blaming-trump-for-capitol-riot-leaked-chats-show
Editors and reporters at the staunchly pro-Trump conservative outlet Breitbart News privately clashed over whether President Donald Trump was to blame for last week's deadly Capitol riot, according to internal messages reviewed by The Daily Beast.
"I am just not feeling charitable AT ALL," international news editor Frances Martel posted to Slack the morning after the rioting that left five people dead, including a police officer. "Destroy Trump."
Martel lamented that Trump's support for the MAGA mob had undone a decade's worth of conservative politics, leaving the Republican Party "in shambles" and dimming the right-wing movement's prospects.
"He set us back like 10 years," Martel wrote. "We have worked so hard to promote our values, values that made him president when he hawked them, and now he does this, leaving everything in shambles? Nah, destroy him. Let it be a lesson to every other 'populist.'"
Breitbart, like other outlets closely tied to Trump, has shied away from ever directly criticizing him, especially for his election-fraud lies and heated rhetoric leading up to the deadly riot. But the internal chat messages demonstrate that anger over the outgoing president's role in inciting the MAGA mob has reached even the Trumpiest strongholds of right-wing media.
"I do blame Trump for all of this," wrote senior editor-at-large Rebecca Mansour at one point, before referring to rioter Ashli Babbitt, a QAnon supporter who was fatally shot by Capitol police as she attempted to break into the Speaker's Lobby. "Her death is on him as far I'm concerned."
"[Trump] and the campaign also gave legitimacy to Lin Wood and others who were far more explicit in riling people up," Breitbart reporter Chris Tomlinson added at another point.

The amount of schizo word salad in this post is impressive
One reason for the GOP's (and Trump's) embrace of Evangelicals is that they've paved the way for a base of utter zombies who willingly and rabidly support, financially and emotionally, megachurch "preachers" as divine cult leaders. It culminated in Trump installing spiritual advisors in the WH who preach "Christian Prosperity Gospel," who stand on the stage in front of a crowd of tens of thousands of dimwits not to mention the millions of slack jawed early stage dementia riddled boomers watching on TV, convincing them to donate all of their assets to them and Jesus will return that wealth to them 10 fold.
It was a simple transition for these millions to embrace the Dear Leader Trump, as the second coming of Christ who will save them from them stinky, pedophile, atheist, muslim, buddhist, hindu, devil worshipping, agnostic, catholic, hispanic, black, feminist, gay, wiccan, communist, socialist, democrats.

Woman Arrested For Impersonating Officer, Fleeing Police At Capitol Checkpoint
https://wjla.com/news/local/connecticut-woman-63-arrested-for-impersonating-an-officer-at-inauguration-checkpoint
A woman has been arrested by D.C. police for the false impersonation of an officer, failure to obey an officer and fleeing from a law enforcement officer at an Inauguration checkpoint.
Police say 63-year-old Linda MaGovern, of Connecticut, approached the perimeter checkpoint at First and Columbus Circle NE on Saturday around 8:45 a.m.
She was, according to the incident report, "displaying a round metallic object later identified as a Military Police Challenge Coin" and "stated she was a law enforcement officer and a part of the presidential cabinet."
Police say she was told to park her car, turn it off and to show her driver's license. At that point, they say, she began to drive forward. Officers say they told her to stop, but she fled northbound on Columbus Circle NE. Eventually, she was stopped on Massachusettes Avenue and placed under arrest.
She was transported to United Medical Center for evaluation and then to the United States Capitol Police Department at 119 D Street for processing.
Security in D.C. has intensified severely ahead of Inauguration Day. Tall fencing surrounds the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall is closed to the general public, and Mayor Muriel Bowser asked people not to visit. Some 25,000 National Guard troops from around the country were due in the city by early in the week.
On Friday, a Virginia man was also arrested after being stopped at a checkpoint with an unregistered gun and more than 500 rounds of ammunition.
That excuse is dried up after January 6th. She is in the high end of trump supporter intelligence.
oh I thought quote "anyone participating in a riot where public property damage occurred should be charged with aiding whoever did the actual damage
>One crazy person does crazy thing
>One crazy person happens to be a member of a gigantic group of crazy people who have consistently done increasingly crazy things for the past four years
>This is reflective of all people in that group
>everyone is rioting
They should be charged. You do understand that's not everyone right? There are plenty of people who were smart enough to stay home and not chimp out, either in the streets or in the capital.
>implying this is some sorta political purge and not just consequences falling on the heads of idiots.

follow me home: My Schizophrenic Cupboards..
And this try at organizing?
Let's say that any attempt to catch 50 things falling simultaneously from high shelves failed miserably. I remembered other things that had been bothering me during that day and decided to channel my inner-child, and throw a mini fit screaming, unnecessary tantrum. Yes, nothing is quite as soul-cleansing as picking up millions of cookie decorations while yelling words that could make a sailor call for his mommy. It was not one of my shining moments as a mom. Or a grown-up.
While it seems silly to throw such a fit over a baking cupboard, please know that there are many serious things our family has had to deal with over the last few weeks. I just happen to be the type of person who has to find control and order SOMEWHERE. If it has to be keeping up an unorganized piece of kitchen furniture, then so be it.
The man and I walked off some of my steam that afternoon at Lowe's -or as my older children like to call it, "The most boring store put upon the face of the earth."
I picked the finials up with my idea filed away. They had two black and two white ones in stock. I needed all white, but knew I could spray paint the black ones. For heaven's sake. We were at LOWE's- One has a right to think of home improvement. Correct? .
Anywhoo, I've always wanted glass on those cupboard doors. What better way to HAVE to keep the cupboards organized? We had talked about the idea many times before. Truth be told, I talked about them many times. The man would just nod, praying I would think of something else. We I had even considered cutting out the centers of the doors and replacing them with glass. For five minutes. Neither of us have that much patience nor DIY talent. That's okay, because IKEA had beautiful glass doors that were pretty inexpensive and just the right size. We thought it over and when the man's mom called us last week from IKEA (angels singing,) we decided to go for it and have her pick up the doors.
Love the cabinets. You are so creative.
Your adorable! Okay, so "the man" would beg to differ right now, but I still think you are! How beautiful are these cabinets??!!

You got it!!! Now get back here and fix up this house of mine! It NEEDS you!!! :) And, well...not just that, but I need a visit from ya! Soon! I have a feeling a few others would agree.

I like! I love the 'feet'. Nice touch!
It turned out great! The feet add such a wonderful touch, something my feeble brain could never have imagined. You should start a business, Shel. Sheesh!
Who would have thought that out of such a crappy situation you would end up with the most beautiful cabinets? Just perfect, and how I love the feet. Well done Michele! You are a wonderful story-teller and I laughed out loud quite a fews times. Thank you for sharing and making me smile.

What You Get from the Start Gate
In the fall of 1996 I picked up four race horses from Delaware Park. The next spring they were all eventing, and by the fall of 1997 three of them were going preliminary and qualified for a CCI*. Only two could go, both did it easily, and the third went around his first CCI* the next spring.. Needless to say, all three were sold soon thereafter. The fourth horse evented training level and then took me to the A jumper shows in the 4'0" - 4'3" preliminary division before he was sold.
How was that possible? I start my homebreds at age 3 and am lucky to have them going training level when they're five. These horses were all uneducated four and five year-olds when I bought them at the track.
The answer, I believe, lies in the foundation that horses get on the track. Here is some of what you get from the start, but don't really have to pay for:
They have been ridden daily and are quite willing to go forward, so they rarely buck or rear. Instead, they GO, which I most definitely prefer. Somebody already spent a lot of money getting them broke, and most of the farms that start race horses do a pretty good job.
They already have developed into athletes. They have a kind of strength and confidence that unraced four, five and six year olds rarely display. Carrying a rider around a preliminary cross country course is no big deal physically for a horse that has raced.
Their soundness is proven. Studies have shown that bone density and ligament strength is greater in young horses that have been stressed to a limited degree. If they have stayed sound through a racing career, they are, in my experience, more likely to stay sound as sport horses than a young horse that has never done hard work.
They have been desensitized. That seems ludicrous to say of animals that are so fit and wired for flight that many of them jig everywhere they go, but consider the chaos of the paddock before they run, of the start gate, of the morning workouts on a crowded track. They have also been poked, prodded, wrapped, groomed, bathed, and shipped until they actually take comfort in all of it.
They have detailed race records and the names of past owners. This shows whether they were laid off for long periods or were sound enough to maintain a regular schedule. It explains the decision to retire the horse. You know the history. If you buy a horse directly from the track you can see for yourself his physical and emotional condition under stress.

Abstract: We present Searn, an algorithm for integrating search and learning to solve complex structured prediction problems such as those that occur in natural language, speech, computational biology, and vision. Searn is a meta-algorithm that transforms these complex problems into simple classification problems to which any binary classifier may be applied. Unlike current algorithms for structured learning that require decomposition of both the loss function and the feature functions over the predicted structure, Searn is able to learn prediction functions for any loss function and any class of features. Moreover, Searn comes with a strong, natural theoretical guarantee: good performance on the derived classification problems implies good performance on the structured prediction problem.

Pigments made from natural minerals are rare and expansible, but its colors are indispensable for the Japanese style painting. There are two kinds of mineral pigments: natural pigments and artificial pigments.
1.	Select minerals that suitable for pigments and crush them into fragments.
2.	Screen out the fragments and reduce them to a fine powder.
3.	Remove impurities through elutriate process and sort powders by the size of its grain.
4.	Remove impurities again and dry under moderate humid condition.
Blue Verditer - produced from azurite. Nowadays, brightly colored natural blue verditer is less commonly available.
Green Verditer - produced from malachite. It is made out of copper carbonate and hydroxide copper.
Distemper is the colors produced from argillaceous soils through levigate process. Compared to minimal pigments, it have a fine texture to mix and paint easily and have a wide range of colors. It is the basic color for the Japanese painting.
In the old times, distemper are proceeded only from natural ingredients but nowadays, sun fast pigments and dyes are mixed with whiting and white clay to provide wide range of colors. Although the name and shades of colors vary based on manufacturers, most of the colors contain Japanese taste.
1.	Crush ingredients in to fragments, and mix with water to remove impurities. Repeat the procedure to distillate ingredients.
2.	Mix ingredients or heat to produce color.
3.	Fit in large pot and wash with water.
4.	Fill pigments on board and dry in the sun or dry under natural condition.
Yellow Ocher - Produced from weathered soil containing weathered ironstone and feldspar. It is one of the colors that been used since ancient times.
Vermillion Ocher - Red brown color produced from iron oxide. High-quality vermilion ocher has deep color that resembles stubbed vermillion.
Red Ocher - Reddish brown color produced from soil containing iron oxide and small amount of manganese.
Whiting - From ancient times, whiting was one of the essential colors that used in Japanese Painting. It has various uses from white color to mixing with other colors. The main ingredients are calcium carbonate and contain small amount of phosphoric acid carbonate. The materials are produced from oyster shells and clamshells, which are weathered for long time, crushed into fragments, remove imperfections, and dried in the sun. Although the names of the product differ by manufactures, whiting that are finely processed are high graded from tokkyu (highest quality), first to fourth grade, and moriage (low quality for raising groundwork).
Kirikane is a technique for decorating Buddhist sculptures and paintings that has developed in Heian Period.
Cut gold and silver leaves into thin lines, tiny triangles or squares are carefully arranged by brush and glue on to sculpture and/or paintings, creating precise and subtle ornaments.
This technique was brought back from Tang China through Asuka to Nara era. Inheriting aesthetic of aristocratic culture, it reached its apogee in around 12 Century. Buddhist sculptures and paintings have fine Kirikane ornaments in that time such as Shaka Nyorai in Jingoji, Kyoto, which is the finest Nyorai paintings in Heian era.
Later, Kirikane technique declined with Buddhist art, as aesthetic values change with the politics shift from noble to samurai. After early modern period, the technique was scanty inherited by small number of artisans with the patronage of East and West Hongwanji temples of Jodoshinshu School.
It became known to society after Sayoko Eri designated as a Living National Treasure in Kirikane. In the early Showa period, the number of artisans declined to several people but in the postwar period, people appear to pick up the technique or willing to inherit the technique.

Q: C# List.Find method - how can I pass a value into the predicate? I can't work out how to do a "find" on a List I have based on use of a value that I'll pass in at run time.  If you see my below code, I want to be able to find the CustomClass in the List for which it's Path parameter is equal to X, where X will be defined at run time.
Any ideas how to do such a find on a List? Or is this not possible without writing an iterator and doing the find manually?  In which case perhaps there is a key'ed collection I should look at using instead?
   private List<CustomClass> files;

   public void someMethod()
  {
       Uri u= new Uri(www.test.com);
       CustomClass cc = this.files.find( matchesUri(u) );  // WON'T LET ME DO THIS
  }

   private static bool matchesUri(List<CustomClass> cc, Uri _u)
    {
        return cc.Path == _u;           }

public class CustomClass
{
    private Uri path;

    public Uri Path
    {
        get { return this.path; }
        set { this.path = value; }
    }
}

PS.  I must admit I don't quite follow the predicate stuff in the doco at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x0b5b5bc.aspx

A: Use a lambda:
 Uri u = new Uri("www.test.com");
 CustomClass cc = this.files.Find(cc => cc.Path == u);

or if you still want a named method:
static bool matchesUri(CustomClass cc, Uri _u)
{
    return cc.Path == _u;
}

 Uri u = new Uri("www.test.com");
 CustomClass cc = this.files.Find(cc => matchesUri(cc, u));

A: You can write
CustomClass cc = this.files.Find( p=> p.Path == u );

The Find() method returns null if no element was found that matches the predicate.

A: For completeness sake only, here is what you would do if you didn't want to use a lambda:
// Predicate must be a method with a single parameter,
// so we must pass the other parameter in constructor

public class UriMatcher
{
    private readonly Uri _u;
    public UriMatcher(Uri u)
    {
        _u = u;
    }

    // Match is Predicate<CustomClass>
    public bool Match(CustomClass cc)
    {
        return cc.Path == _u;
    }
}

And then use it as:
public void someMethod()
{
    Uri u = new Uri("www.test.com");
    UriMatcher matcher = new UriMatcher(u);
    CustomClass cc = this.files.Find(matcher.Match);
}

Note that you are passing a reference to a method, not the result of the method -- Match vs Match().
Check this thread also: Predicate Delegates in C#.

A: public void someMethod()
{
    Uri u= new Uri("www.test.com");
    CustomClass cc = this.files.find( p => { return p.Path == u; } );
}

A: Try using anonymous method for search and use any local variable you wish inside of it.  If that is not satisfactory, call out your normally defined delegate method.

A: .NET 2.0 answer using an anonymous delegate (note that this only works for C#, VB.NET does not have anonymous delegates).
public void someMethod()
{
  Uri u= new Uri("www.test.com");
  CustomClass cc = this.files.find(delegate(CustomClass oTemp) { return oTemp.Path == u;});
}

A: In Pavel's post marked as answer, I think the line:
CustomClass cc = this.files.Find(cc => cc.Path == u);

should be instead like:
CustomClass cc = this.files.Find(cc2 => cc2.Path == u);

This is because the expresion to the left of => is a variable definition (the type is inferred from the expression) - The compiler would gives a redefinition error otherwise.
This expression can also be written with an explicit definition as:
CustomClass cc = this.files.Find((CustomClass  cc2) => cc2.Path == u);

A: Here is a solution that I used. I needed to pass several arguments and didn't want to use anything that would prevent me from editing the method during runtime, so I came up with this.
Obviously if you wanted to you could change it to a generic method (right term?) using type arguments. This also gets around the problem of lambdas in a method. Not sure if that applies to anonymous methods as well or not, but it is already separate so no big deal.
I don't know whether the reflection would have a performance hit or not.
private Predicate<ItemData> FindItemData(string search, string fieldName)
{
    var field = typeof(ItemData).GetField(fieldName);
    return delegate(ItemData item) { return (string)field.GetValue(item) == search; };
}

//in another method...
itemlist.Find(FindItemData(e.Row[2].ToString(), "ItemName"));

By the time Gainsborough left Bath for London three years before this portrait, his style had become looser and more expressive and his portraits less formal. This change is evident here in the freely painted satin gown and powdered hair of Lady Clarges and the blurring of her harp-playing fingers.
Eighteen-year-old Louisa Skrine's portrait was painted for Sir Thomas Clarges the year after their marriage. Brought up at Warleigh Manor near Bath, Louisa became an important patron of musicians.


High Tide for the Financial Sector?
What Goldman taketh away, Goldman giveth. That appears to be the motto of the past few days, with Fraudulent Friday now a distant memory as the market basks in the warm glow of yet another solid quarter from the good ship GS.
Obviously, the financial sector generally has been helped by favourable market conditions, which have boosted sellside trading revenues (if not, alas, the performance of your average macro directional punter.) And in fairness to GS, their effective tax rate of 33% was no doubt higher than that of many of their most strident critics. No more 1% tax rate bonanzas in this environment!
Still….Macro Man has to wonder if we're now at the top for financials, whether the tide is high and set to roll back out. Over the past year, the SPX has returned 42%….a handsome return, to be sure, but trounced by the financial sector's nearly 58%.
Friday's SEC announcement was perhaps only the opening salvo of a popular and regulatory backlash, however. The Obama administration is clearly aiming to wheel out some sort of financial reform package, no matter how flawed, to parade in front of voters ahead of midterm elections.
In the UK, meanwhile, Greedy BankersTM are about the only subject on which Moe, Larry, and Curly can agree. It's not a question of whether to tax Greedy BankersTM back to the Stone Age…..it's how.
And now, enter the IMF. Tired of waiting for that phone call from Athens and too timid to take on the challenge of international currency politics, the Fund has now proposed a suite of broad-sweeping financial levies and taxation. While the IMF's call for universal compliance is unlikely to be met (check out the history of OPEC compliance, for example), it nevertheless offers a strong suggestion that after more than two years of being on the receiving end of public largesse, the financial sector (and banks in particular) may now face pressure to become net contributors.

Pump It Up Extra
Arcade Video game published 20 years ago by Andamiro
Pump It Up Extra © 2001 Andamiro Company, Limited.
As it is another Korean release, this version should be considered another successor of The Perfect Collection, not from The Premiere.
This version is quite unique : it changed Crazy's name to Extra Expert (or XX for short), introduced a brand new interface, a new Double challenge (the XX Double) and the hold arrows. As it is a Korean release, the Nonstop Remix mode returned.
On the new interface, the blue arrows choose the songs as usual, but the red arrows change the game mode. With a single credit one can play songs from any mode (considering the limitations like Double modes only being available when there's only one person playing, and Battle mode only being available when there are two players). Like in The Premiere, the center arrow is used to confirm the selection.
TECHNICAL/MACHINE PICT.
MK3 Arcade System
Pump It Up Extra was released on Januray 20, 2001 by F2 System, an Andamiro affiliate which also produced in 2000 the Techno Motion dance simulation game.
Two of the songs from this version are signed by F2 System: 'Holiday' and 'Can Can'. Can Can, which now has an artist of Radezky since its inclusion on Prex 3, appears in the KPOP section of Exceed, despite being produced specifically for Pump It Up. It has since been moved to the Banya channel in Exceed.

I'm 34. Started playing when I was 14 years old.
Morris acoustic guitar Made in Japan.
And keyboards for simple things (using vst).
My actual favourite is the Nesher 6 strings all solid acoustic guitar.
Exchange ideas with other musicians about their work, have opinions about my music, and information about recording and production to improve my work... and collaborations.
CSNY... Neil Young is an old influence, but my starting point was Zeppelin and Floyd music. But there's a lot more, mostly folk and progressive rock.
"Mundo verde". It was a band with drums, bass, acoustic and vocals and I played electric guitar. All original songs.
I think Floyd's Division Bell. Never tired of listen it.
On vacations... Taking a break in a long trail to an (almost) desert beach. Worth it, and good inspiration for new music.
My view of David Gilmour show here in Brazil today! :-) Awesome!
My home recording place... On the walls, a self made absorber. Styrofoam for the shape, filled with acrylic foam, and a black fabric.
One take recording of this classic.
The lady wants to know (Michael Franks cover) Always wanted to sing a Michael Franks song, but the problem was to produce a backing track (too difficult!). Then I found this karaoke style backing track on youtube, and it's not that bad haha... so I just recorded the vocals. Lyrics: Daddy plays the ashtray. Baby starts to cry. The Lady wants to know The reason why Daddy's just like Coltrane. Baby's just like Miles. The Lady's just like heaven When she smiles. And the Lady wants to know She wants to know the reason Got to know the reason why. This man has got to go This man is always leavin' How he hates to say goodbye. But what she doesn't know Is there really is no reason There really is no reason why. Daddy he hates airplane. Baby loves to fly. And the Lady wants to know The reason why. Daddy's just like Coltrane. Baby's just like Miles. The Lady's just like heaven When she smiles.
Tomlin - Thoughts of tomorrow The year is ending and we start to think about future again... But the lyrics is about how we live more and more in the future these days, suffering with a constant anxiety, and feeling that we are always missing something, and trying to fix the problems of the world behind the smartphone screen. Thoughts of tomorrow Changing my mind The world keep on changing Leaving us behind Meanings and feelings Lost in the way Decisions in anger Accepting the fate Watching our past Turn to stone Thinking that happiness Is something more Thoughts of tomorrow I see it in your face A world full of sorrow That you want embrace A paper flying in the street The news I don't want to see The world keep on changing Leaving me behind Watching our past Turn to stone Thinking that happiness Is something more Turning away All instruments and vocals by Tomlin. Video is a footage from my yard.
Just now - John Martyn (cover) Searching back through the friends I've known Sometimes sad for the way it's grown Ranging up and ranging out And trying to change my ways about There's a place in the leaf, a place in the bow I've found a place for me Just now, just now Just now. Moving on with every word Moving with all the words I heard Turning the wheel as fast as I can Turning the wheel to make me a man There's a man in the moon, a man in the sea Growing strong, there's a man in me Just now just now Just now. No behind and no before There's no need to worry any more Happy then, happy now There's always a way to get happy somehow Friend on the road, friend in the home A better friend now than I've ever known Just now, just now Just now. Searching back for the friends I've known Sometimes sad for the way it's grown Changing up and ranging out And trying to change my ways about There's a place in the leaf, a place in the bow I've found a place for me Just now, just now Just now, just now.
Lotta love - Neil Young (acoustic cover version) Simple acoustic version of Neil's "Lotta Love". The track is well known from Nicolette Larson cover in 1978. Lotta Love (Neil Young) It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are. It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far. So if you look in my direction And we don't see eye to eye, My heart needs protection And so do I. It's gonna take a lotta love To get us thru the night. It's gonna take a lotta love To make things work out right. So if you are out there waitin' I hope you show up soon, 'Cause my heart needs relatin' Not solitude. Gotta lotta love Gotta lotta love. It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are. It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far. It's gonna take a lotta love To change the way things are. It's gonna take a lotta love Or we won't get too far.
Collab with our friend Staffan! He recorded voices and acoustic guitar and sent it to me some months ago. So I played a electric bass, and added some strings and brass to it. It was nice that he enjoyed the arrangements in the first auditions. Since we collaborate for some years now, and I think I already know what he expect. Nice synergy! hope you enjoy it. We both like a lot this album, and it was really a joy to work in this version.
Gordon Lightfoot - Beautiful (cover version) Happy new year everyone! :-) Long time I don't post something. This is a video I did in my home studio playing this Lightfoot's song, not so well known but I like the chords progression and melody. I've changed some chords to add a different vibe for thevoice/guitar arrangement (the original have some more elements). I confess I don't feel much comfortable in front of the camera haha... But I will make some more takes like this, perhaps I will be more confident in the next attempts.
Deja Vu- Collaboration with Anneliek Beex, Janice Zamb and Harry Thompson. Anne asked me some weeks ago if I would like to join them in this collaboration. After some changes in Jan's lyrics it was suitable for me to sing, and here it is! :-) Hope you enjoy!
Reelin in the years - Steely Dan Karaoke time with my friend Mauricio Garay hehe... Nice song by Steely Dan. Mauricio found a great backing track and we decided to record the vocals to it. Mauricio worked out the main vocals and I did the backing vocals/harmonies, sent the track to Maurcio for the mix. It was fun to figure out that harmonies, and a pleausre to work with Maurcio! Enjoy! Lead Vocal and mixing: Mauricio Garay Chorus and all background Vocals : Jony Tomelin Instrumentation: Recisio Steely Dan is an American jazz rock band whose music also blends elements of crossover jazz, latin music, blue-eyed soul, R&B, boogie, and pop. Founded by core members Walter Becker (guitars, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen (keyboards, lead vocals) in 1972, the band enjoyed critical and commercial success starting from the early 1970s until breaking up in 1981. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies". Steely Dan reunited in 1993 and has toured steadily ever since All Rights belong to the owner.
DALLAS - A song by Steely Dan. Poco recorded it to their 1975 album, Head Over Heels.
Somewhere (original) - Jony Tomelin You know that I've been waiting for so long For something you don't understand And while the river flows in this small town I walk in the streets through the dawn Lights in the park, Shades that I can't remember A stranger sitting in a bench Thinking about you... I couldn't realize the time passing by The colours of the dawn reflecting the sky And while I watch the past the night is gone And I know that I should go... The wine and that old guitar I ask you: Where are your friends? You said: they are living their own lives somewhere Far from my eyes the bird flies alone I couldn't realize the time passing by The colours of the dawn reflecting the sky And while I watch the past the night is gone And I know that I should go... Away... -- All instruments by Jony Tomelin. Produced by Jony Tomelin (2016) Intruments recorded: Octave Mandolin, Acoustic guitar, Resonator guitar, Bass, Drums, Strings (keyboard).
Valerie Hall asked me to help her developing one of her old songs. After receive some of demos, we decided to work in this track, "Winner". The idea was to make something more rock oriented, 90's feel. So I recorded e-drums in my roland v-kit, and it was an experience since I don't play drums (I have this kit for recordings with friends in my studio). Then I recorded the other instruments, bass, guitars, keys... And sent the backing track to Valerie. She returned the vocals track and I worked out the mix. And finally, she worked out the video. I'm glad I could help her with her original song! Sorry for not being around here these days to support your works. I hope I can up more songs soon and listen the new songs. :-) Hope you enjoy.
WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS - with Staffan Fenander (Sweden), Tiago Cardozo (Brazil) and Alberto Schweder (Brazil). Staffan Fenander: Harmonica and Lap Steel. Alberto Schweder: Trombone. Tiago Cardozo: Drums. Jony Tomelin: Acoustic guitars, resonator guitar, bass, vocals and production.
IF YOU GO AWAY Once again I catch myself looking at the riverflow Floating memories, time, trees shaking in the wind Echoes from the past when I was younger, when I was there Looking at the things we've done, it seems easy to say Thinking about where I've been No one here will know if I just go way Once again I am here thinking about the future And the seeds that I threw away through the window You and I could be fine together you know But the life showed us another way to go Thinking about a free way Thinking about what you said No one here will know if I just go away And if you go forever I will never know I will just find, I'll try a way and grow old To find a way and grow old Once again I'm singing songs to myself and no one will know.
ON THE ROAD (original) On the horizon, I see some white clouds, But my thoughts are so grey Driving fast, but watching all around I think it's going to rain So many times, I tried to understand Believe in what you said I watch the city lights so far away It's the end of my day I remember the taste of the wine Lift the spirit so high Beside the river, the grass was so green Was not hard to be free And you know, there's a reason to live. When all the things comes close to the end Then we see what we're missing It is hard to deal with the choices driving fast Looking over the shoulders Spending time watching pictures on the walls Never painting something new Waiting hours stuck on the road In the glass, morning dew But you know, there's a reason to live And you know that we got to be free And you know you are asking for help But you cannot find the time To do the things you love Watch the sun looking down upon the hill Another point of view So find a reason to drive and go ahead I cannot do it for you In the morning clouds close to the ground But the road is clear enough The grass is greener and if you look again You will see the way to go And you know you got a reason to live You know, that you got to be free And you know you are asking for help But you need to have some time To do the things you love.
SOLITARY BIRD (Original) This is a song I wrote to collaborate with my old friend Marlon Janke. But now he is sick and can't play guitar or sing... He is fighting with a Leukemia. So I finished the song and left as a instrumental short piece. Hoping he can get better soon to play and create new songs again. http://www.fandalism.com/marlonjke It have 3 acoustic guitars: 6 strings standard tuning, a resonator guitar playing the melody parts, and a 6 strings in nashville tuning in the mid parts.
500 MILES Weeks ago while watching the movie "Inside Llewyn Davis", about a folk singer in the 60's, I found so many nice folk songs, one of them was this old song interpreted by Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan. Also knowing the Peter Paul and Mary version, and Joan Baez live version singing with the audience, I found that this could be a good song to try a collaboration with many people singing together. So I asked some of my friends that are involved with folk music and thought could suit in the vocals parts of the harmonies. In addition, it was a chance to my wife play a simple classic viola part I wrote to her (she is a beginner), I filled the strings parts with the keyboard. Here is the crew: Jony Tomelin - vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboard and production. Valerie Hall Eberlee - vocals and video. http://www.fandalism.com/valerieh - Otawa, Canada. George Martin – vocals http://www.fandalism.com/shargram - Hamilton, South Lanakshire. Steve Ladonga - vocals and uke. http://www.fandalism.com/ladanky - Sacramento, California. Marlon Janke - vocals. - http://www.fandalism.com/marlonjke - Brazil Schanna Marquardt – viola - http://www.fandalism.com/schanna - Brazil. I enjoyed a lot the process of recording. Valerie spent some valuable time searching free pics to the video. These photos in the video were the work of talented photographers: Credit where credit is due...

Walk On The Ocean (Cover) A song by toad the wet sprocket. This is a great collaboration I was lucky to be in. Started the idea with Valerie, and at some point we asked Tedd if he could add something to the middle part, bu the goes forward and worked out a great background instrumental, and mixed it perfectly. The nice pictures are from Valerie, she made a great job on this video. Hope you like it! Jony Tomelin main vocals and acoustic guitar. Tedd VanWagner bass, lap steel, guitar synth and drum programming. Valerie Hall Eberlee backing vocals, all photography and video creation.

BIRDS (Neil Young) - My version with acoustic guitar/vocals. Lyrics: Lover there will be another one Who'll hover over you beneath the sun Tomorrow see the things that never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over. Nestled in your wings my little one This special morning brings another sun Tomorrow see the things that never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over.
LIBERDADE (freedom) (Original) Another song recording during the vacations in december, in portuguese. It talks about some thoughts about freedom and what it means these days... Freedom Freedom no one knows the definition, definition Freedom you think it is renewal, rise Freedom is not having to decide Freedom is not having to give up You know this don't exists for us Freedom is the opposite of information, formation Freedom I know is only illusion, only vision Freedom is part of the solution Freedom without opinion You know this don't exists for us We are tied together without freedom, freedom Behind the "happiness walls" there is no freedom, freedom But who knows can control your freedom, freedom Who knows your weakness "thirst" for freedom, freedom Freedom no one knows the definition, definition Freedom you think it is renewal, rise Freedom is not having anywhere to go Freedom is to decide to stop listening You know this don't exists for us Freedom is opposed to continuation, construction Freedom is to see the world without correlation, relationship Freedom is to be against Freedom is living contradiction You know this don't exists for us ... don't. Liberdade Liberdade ninguém sabe a definição, definição Liberdade você pensa que é renovação, ascensão Liberdade é não ter que decidir Liberdade é não ter do que desistir Você sabe não existe para nós Liberdade é o contrário de informação, formação Liberdade que conheço é só ilusão, só visão Liberdade faz parte da solução Liberdade sem formar opinião Você sabe não existe para nós Estamos amarrados uns aos outros sem liberdade, liberdade Atrás dos muros da felicidade não há liberdade, liberdade Mas quem sabe pode controlar a tua liberdade, liberdade Quem conhece tua fraqueza sede pela liberdade, liberdade Liberdade ninguém sabe a definição, definição Liberdade você pensa que é renovação, ascensão Liberdade é não ter pra onde ir Liberdade é decidir parar de ouvir Você sabe não existe para nós Liberdade é contrário de continuação, construção Liberdade é ver o mundo sem correlação, relação Liberdade é estar na contramão Liberdade é viver contradição Você sabe não existe para nós... não.
Way to blue - Nick Drake (cover in collaboration with Staffan Fenander). Staffan asked me if I could do string arrangements for this fantastic music from Drake. But since I'm a newbie on keyboards, it took me a long time to get something that pleased me (it's still something from a beginner, of course, hehe ...). The idea was to add a background and not directly follow the original arrangement that is much more complex. Staffan, thanks for the opportunity, it was a really interesting and a great result. Staffan has this particular way of play the songs and is quite beautiful acoustic and vocals, and it was nice to be able to contribute to this record.
NO QUARTER ( a version) My version of the classic Zep No Quarter. My reference is the acoustic version from Unledded's Plant & Page, but I recorded it in a lower tune: CGFCGC. Craviola 12 strings, Fender Resonator for some details and electric bass.
DAYLIGHT AGAIN - Crosby Stills and Nash (version with Craviola 12 strings).
Place to be - Nick Drake cover Our tribute to this great and underated folk musician. Willard Ribeiro: Vocals Jony Tomelin: Acoustic guitar and vocals Another great time recording and drinking beer with my buddy Willard Ribeiro, hehe... Lyrics: When I was younger, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older see it face to face And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place. And I was green, greener than the hill Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be. And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day is done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you.
Happy together - The turtles (version) - A great and funny collaboration with Staffan Fenander and Marlon Janke. Marlon Janke: Trumpet "fluegelhorn". Staffan Fenander: Lead vocals. Jony Tomelin: Backing vocals, guitars, arrangement and production. Staffan asked me months ago about recording a version of this 1967 hit by The Turtles. So after other collaborations in progress, we decided to work it out. I started here with the background arrangement: drums, bass and organ sounds. I asked Marlon if he was interested in record a trumpet, so he came to my place to record it. So, I've sent the half made track to Staffan, he recorded the vocals track and returned me the file. After this, I recorded guitars and the backing vocals. In the final part we have three melodies of trumpets, and 5 voices on the chorus, hehe... The backing vocals are so well melted in the original track that I couldn't work it out, so I made my own harmony over the Staffan's lead vocals. I'm very happy it worked! :-) I was curious about how our voices could work in a more full arrangement. Also thanks for Marlon for the excellent and tasteful trumpet sounds, it makes all the difference. So, hope you enjoy!
The sound of silence - Simon & Garfunkel cover - Johnny's Garden I would like to dedicate this track to my friend Yvalain, who always said my voice was similar to Paul Simon... hehe... Also thanks to Lajos "Louis" Rankl, a great friend I discovered here. He always help me with production tips, so I'm always learning a bit more with him. Willard Ribeiro: Acoustic guitar and vocals. Jony Tomelin: Bass guitar and vocals, production. Lyrics: Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed By the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs That voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach to you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon God they made And the sign flashed out it's warning And the words that it was forming And the sign said "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence.
Coming back to life - Pink Floyd (version). All instruments and production by Michel Gypen: (http://fandalism.com/stratochel) Michel uploaded a version of this song with a piano playing the vocals melody. So, I decided to ask him to send me the track to try to sing (it's my favourite post Waters PF album). I sent the vocals file back, he remixed.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN - Crosby, Stills Nash and Young. Another collaboration with Willard Ribeiro in our "Johnny's Garden" project, revisiting the 70's and 60's folk.

Christian Man Claims Native American Statue On License Plate Violates His Freedom Of Religion, Sues Oklahoma
By Rika Christensen on June 15, 2013 10:30 pm ·
A Christian man has won the right to sue the state of Oklahoma on the basis of freedom of religion, due to its depiction of a particular sculpture on its standard license plate. The picture, which is of the statue known as "Sacred Rain Arrow," was sculpted by the late Oklahoma artist Allan Houser, and is part of Oklahoma's heritage. However, the plaintiff, Pastor Keith Cressman, argued that having the plate on his car implies that he approves of belief systems that run contrary to Christianity.
The lone dissenting opinion in the 10th Circuit Court's 2-1 ruling said that Cressman did not successfully prove his case that the image promotes pantheism, animism, and other types of belief systems, and that people in general were not necessarily likely to perceive the image the same way as Cressman. The majority opinion stated otherwise, and noted that Cressman's only option to the standard plate was to purchase a more expensive novelty plate, making this an infringement on his religious freedom.
Cressman originally filed the lawsuit in 2011, and saw the case dismissed. However, in 2012, the 10th Circuit reinstated it, giving Cressman back his lawsuit.
This is quite typical of Christians who seem to think their freedoms are under some type of massive attack in the public sector. Texas governor Rick Perry recently signed a bill into law allowing public schools to display "traditional" Christmas symbols, saying, "Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion." While the bill does appear to make attempts to encompass winter symbols of all faiths, government endorsement of faith, any faith, violates the Establishment Clause.
Kentucky's governor recently vetoed a bill that would have, more or less, allowed people to ignore laws they felt were in contravention of their religious beliefs. This bill was in response to increasing opposition to granting the LGBT community the same rights against discrimination that everyone else is supposed to enjoy, but the vague language would have allowed people to do what they wanted solely on the basis of a "sincerely held belief." Washington State is currently working on a similar law.
Running a search in Google for "Christian oppression in America" turns up lots of results debunking the idea, but also some results explaining just how American Christians are losing their freedoms and being subject to persecution. Rep. Stan Lee, of Kentucky, cried that "they" were trying to take God out of everything, and pointed to the Pledge of Allegiance as an example of that and asking, "You don't think your religious freedom's under attack?"
Then there's David Brody, talking about how people who stand up for Biblical values and traditions (specifically, traditional marriage) are ridiculed more than those in the LGBT community, and that evangelicals are becoming a scorned minority, the way that gays "used to be." (They still are in many circles.)
One has to wonder what Cressman, and others, would have done had Oklahoma's plate had an indirectly Christian symbol on it, and an atheist, a Muslim, a Jew, a Pagan, or just someone who saw the wrongness of it, tried to sue on the basis of freedom of religion. It's likely that they would be screaming about how the lawsuit was just another example of people trying to force their beliefs onto Christians, and how so-called Christian persecution in America is worsening.

Robin Leach, best known as the host of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," has died at age 76. The celebrity columnist's family confirmed the news in a statement Friday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leach had a stroke in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and was hospitalized in Las Vegas since Nov. 21. Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist John Katsilometes said Leach had a second stroke Monday. Leach also worked as a celebrity columnist at the publication.
Born Aug. 29, 1941, Leach got his start in media sending information about Harrow County School for Boys in Middlesex, England, where he attended school, to the local newspaper. He was hired at that paper, The Harrow Observer, at 15 when he graduated from school. He later worked at the Daily Mail and moved to New York in 1963, writing for Ladies Home Journal, People and New York Daily News.
After writing for publications, starting a magazine and becoming entertainment editor of The Star, Leach got into television in 1980 with CNN's "People Tonight." In 1981, he helped launch "Entertainment Tonight," working as a correspondent until 1984, when he created "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" with Al Masini.
"Lifestyles" became a hit, running from 1984 to 1995 and making Leach a millionaire in his own right. The series focused on the lavish and expensive tastes of moguls, entertainers and athletes. The early reality show paved the way for shows like "MTV Cribs," VH1's "The Fabulous Life Of...," "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and more.

Cool as it sounded, though, I was a little sceptical. Volcanic sand made into fabric? Then I saw 37.5 has dozens of partners making products with its material, including some very big names like Adidas, Salomon and Tommy Bahama.
I tried out products made with 37.5 technology including an Adidas performance jacket and Buffy comforter.
Clearly, there must be something to it. So I decided to give 37.5 a shot to see if products made with its technology live up to the claims.
First up was a comforter from Buffy. This one had serious potential right out of the gate, because Buffy comforters are animal cruelty-free. No down... That's a big plus in my house, which is full of vegetarians, vegan product fans and animal lovers. Buffy comforters also minimize waste, using eucalyptus fibers instead of water-intensive cotton, and microfiber made from recycled PET bottles. And --more importantly for the purposes of this article-- they use 37.5 technology for temperature-adjusting comfort.
That last point was key for me. My wife is always cold at night, while I am usually hot. As a result, she often sleeps with an electric blanket in addition to our existing blankets and comforter, while I usually kick all but a sheet off.
The Buffy comforter arrived vacuum packed and quickly expanded to a fluffy white expanse. While it's promoted as being light, I actually felt it had a comforting weight. Not heavy, but it had a premium heft to it. We put a duvet cover over it and quickly found that it was not only incredibly warm, but sometimes too warm. Even for my wife, and in the 65-degrees (Fahrenheit) temperature I keep the house for sleeping.
Buffy comforter goes from flat vacuum pack to thick and fluffy.
Then it dawned on me that we'd put the Buffy comforter inside a cotton duvet. I touched base with a rep and they confirmed my suspicions that temperature adjusting ability of the 37.5 material is being effectively blocked by that layer of heavy cotton. There are companies that make covers and sheets with 37.5 technology, but not having any of those handy, we removed the duvet and blankets and tried sleeping with just the Buffy comforter.
I own a lot of fleece performance jackets. I work from home and keep the temperature low during the day (at least during heating season, which is about eight months of the year here) to save energy and because I naturally run hot. A pair of shorts, a tee-shirt and a fleece jacket are pretty much my uniform. They're comfortable and when I wander outside to do yard work, walk the dogs or go on a hike, I can easily lose the jacket.
And I usually do lose the jacket, because I quickly get hot and even with perspiration wicking fabric any moderately strenuous physical activity means that jacket is going to need to be washed.
Even in cooler months, I often come home from a hike in the woods with the fleece jacket I left with rolled up in a sweaty ball in my backpack. Comfortably cool at rest does not equate to comfortable with some exertion, and moisture wicking may help to keep your skin dry but doesn't mean the jacket itself won't become damp and unpleasant smelling.
Adidas is prominently featuring its use of 37.5 technology.
The Adidas Terrex Stockhorn jacket says it uses 37.5 activated carbon fleece for moisture release, temperature control and odor resistance. I wore the review sample daily for weeks. Indoors, the temperature ranged from 65 to 70 degrees during the day, outdoors it varied from below zero to the mid-sixties. That's not overly hot (winter was still wrapping up here), but I wore the jacket during some fairly strenuous physical activity, including time on the treadmill, doing pushups, shovelling snow and some minor home renovations that included a lot of lifting and going up and down multiple flights of stairs.
My regular performance fleece jackets would have been off in favor of a tee-shirt in minutes. The Adidas Terrex Stockhorn jacket stayed on. It wasn't "wicking" sweat to keep things dry, I simply wasn't sweating with it on, period. It consistently kept me at a comfortable temperature (including toasty warm when I was outside in the cold). It passed the smell test, despite several weeks of wear without washing.
I was also sent a pair of socks from 37.5 itself. They were comfortable and --as advertised-- kept my feet from sweating or getting cold (remember this is Canada in winter) on long walks.
So what is the science behind what 37.5's technology does, and what makes it different from what else is out there?
The company says its microporous active particles --made from those natural substances-- combine a large surface area with energy absorption, which is perfect for trapping moisture. The active particles are embedded in material. When the wearer is hot, they remove perspiration while it's still in the vapor stage, before it becomes liquid sweat. That has a cooling effect. When the wearer is cold, the particles help to trap infrared energy emitted by the body, keeping them warm.
Instead of wicking away sweat (something 37.5 looks at as less of a feature than a failure of clothing to manage humidity next to the wearer's skin), clothing and bedding made with this material prevents the sweat from happening in the first place. Besides the implications for personal comfort, this can reduce the frequency of washing required --saving energy.
Most of these wicking fabrics don't improve performance and only last a few washes. Much of it 'comes out in the wash', contaminating our waste water with chemicals that just don't need to be there. 37.5 Technology is derived from natural materials and is permanently embedded so the performance doesn't disappear with washing.
Based on my personal evaluation of products using its technology, I'm convinced that it works. And with 49 partners signed on to date, clearly the clothing and bedding industry sees something there as well. Check the company's website out for a more detailed overview of the tech involved, plus a full listing of companies offering products made with 37.5 technology.
Disclosure: 37.5 provided review products for evaluation but had no input into this post.

Mingəçevir Azerbajdzsán negyedik legnagyobb városa, a 2018. évi népszámláláskor körülbelül 104 500 lakossal. A város Azerbajdzsán közigazgatási részét képezi. Egykor Kaukázusi Albaniához tartozott.

Fekvése
Bakutól 323 km-re és 17 km-re a Baku–Tbiliszi-vasútvonaltól. Földrajzilag a régió a köztársaság közepén helyezkedik el, a Kura folyó mindkét oldalán.

Földrajza, éghajlata
Mingəçevir 55 méter tengerszint feletti magasságban helyezkedik el a Bozdag hegylánc délkeleti lábánál, 55 méter tengerszint feletti magasságban, a Mingəçevir víztározó szélén az Azerbajdzsán közép-Kura-Araz alföldjén.

A város enyhe és meleg zónában épült, meleg és száraz nyarakkal és enyhe telekkel rendelkezik. Az éves átlaghőmérséklet 14-15 °C, a legmagasabb hőmérséklet 42 °C (július–augusztus) és a legalacsonyabb hőmérséklet -10 °C (január–február). Az átlagos csapadékmennyiség 250–300 mm.

Története

A térség évezredek óta lakott, de a jelenlegi várost 1948-ban alapították, részben a második világháború alatt itt fogvatartott német katonák által. Annak ellenére, hogy Mingəçevir fiatal város, a mai város helye már ősidők óta lakott hely volt, története a neolit kortól (i. e. 3000) a 17. századig terjed.

1871-ben AI Berje, a kaukázusi régészeti bizottság elnöke volt az, aki először szolgáltatott régészeti információkat a területről Szentpéterváron, a régészek második kongresszusán. Ezt követően a város sok éven át elkerülte a régészek figyelmét, a régészeti kutatásokat csak az 1930-as évek közepén folytatták Mingəçevirben, a vízerőmű építésének részeként. A kutatásokat 1935-ben kezdték meg Pakhomov professzor vezetése alatt. Az ekkor végzett kutatások alkalmával két ősi települést és temetőt fedeztek fel, amelyek különféle sírokból álltak. A második világháború megakadályozta a kutatás befejezését.

A háború után azonnal megkezdődött a vízerőmű építése. Ez Mingəçevir régészeti kutatásának kezdete. A régészeti ásatásokat 1946 áprilisától 1953 augusztusáig az SM Azonos Qaziyev vezetésével végezte régészek egy csoportja a vízerőmű építésével kapcsolatban, az Azerbajdzsán Tudományos Akadémia legfelső tanácsának döntése alapján. A feltárások során 20 000 történelmi emléket - sírokat, eszközöket, a mindennapi élethez kapcsolódó dolgokat, ékszereket stb. találtak, amelyek időrendi sorrendben tükrözték a történeti periódusokat.

A kaukázusi alban ábécé legrégibb írásbeli emlékei és más régészeti leletek bizonyították, hogy Mingəçevir 5000 éve lakott hely. Ezen leletek többségét jelenleg az azerbajdzsáni Történeti Múzeumban mutatják be, míg egy részét a helyi Történeti Múzeumban tárolják.

A történelem sok tényt tud az ősi Mingəçevirről. A történelmi források szerint heves csata zajlott Pompej római parancsnok hadereje és Oris albán kormányzó hadserege között, éppen a jelenlegi gát területén, a Kura folyó partján, i. e. 1. században. A történeti tények azt is bizonyítják, hogy az ősi Selyemút áthaladt a városon.

A 17. században élt, neves török utazó, Evlija Cselebi is írt a városról, és nagy településnek írta le a Kura folyó jobb partján, a Bozdag-hegy közelében. Elmondása szerint a településen számos mecset, selyem és selyemszövet gyártó műhely, fürdőház stb. volt található. Az onnan haladó úgynevezett "hírvivő út" összekapcsolta egymással a keleti országokba és azerbajdzsáni Saki, Qabala, Samaxi, Barda, Beylaqan városokba vezető utakat.

A mai Mingəçevir
A mai Mingəçevir 1948-ban kapta meg város státuszát. A város népessége jelenleg 120 000, köztük 20 000 Karabakból és a megszállt szomszédos körzetekből lakóhelyüket elhagyni kényszerült ember.

A város a Kura folyó mindkét partján fekszik, mely egy 1515 km hosszú folyó, a Dél-Kaukázus legnagyobb és leghosszabb folyója. (A folyó Törökországban ered, átfolyik Grúzián és Azerbajdzsánon, a Kaszpi-tenger felé.)

A város az elmúlt 54 évben gyorsan fejlődött. Jelenleg az ország negyedik városának tekintik mind gazdasági potenciálját, mind a lakosok számát tekintve. Energia és ipar, tudomány, oktatás és kultúra szempontjából a köztársaság egyik legfontosabb városa. A munkaképes emberek száma Mingəçevirben 53 000, míg a munkában ténylegesen részt vevők száma 16 000. A kisvállalkozásokat foglalkoztató személyek száma 4000 fő.

Gazdasága

2008-tól a városban működik a Mingəçevir halgazdaság, amely háromféle halat, pontyot, ezüst pontyot és tokot nevel.

A Mingəçevir-gát, a Mingəçevir-víztároló és a Mingəçevir-vízerőmű építése 1953-ban fejeződött be. A vízerőművek talajgátja, amelynek teljes kapacitása 15,6 köbkilométer, az egyik legmagasabb gát Európában, amelyet locsolás céljából építettek.  A víztározó a kerülettől 3 km-re északnyugatra helyezkedik el. A tározó hossza 70 km, szélessége 3–18 km, a legmélyebb pont körülbelül 75 méter és a teljes terület 605 km².

A Kura folyón kívül a tározó a 172 km hosszú Felső-Qarabag-csatorna és a 123 km hosszú Felső-Sirvan-csatorna két csatornáját táplálja. Ezeket a csatornákat 10 000 négyzetkilométernyi terület öntözésére használják Mil, Mugan és Sirvan sztyeppjein. A Varvara tározó és a Varvara vízerőmű 20 km-re keletre fekszik a Kura folyó Mingəçevir tározójától. A Varvara vízerőmű energiablokkjainak térfogata 16 MW.

SOPHIE ROWLEY (1986-)
Pair of tapestries model Khadi Fray
Manufactured by Sophie Rowley
Produced in exclusive for SIDE GALLERY
Berlin, 2020
Handloomed burnt orange cotton
47,24 in x 47,24 in
'Khadi Frays' is a series of textile wall pieces Sophie Rowley developed during a recent one-year stay in India. They are inspired by the Khadi Spirit, an Indian term which describes the state of illimitable patience.
In 'Khadi Frays', the repetitive actions of conventional handweaving techniques were reversed. Instead of building up the material thread by thread, a solid block of multiple weaves forms the starting point. Each layer undergoes a carefully calculated destructive process, during which over 10 000 threads are patiently removed, leaving frayed finishes behind. Through eating into these material blocks, multi-dimensional textures are created, gradually dwindling down to the base layer. The differences in weight and tension of the warp and weft lead to subtle variations in shade and dependent upon the perspective angle, reflections on the surfaces occur.
Through this technique simplistic and modest materials were transformed into intricate arrangements and elegant wall pieces, endeavouring to give a modern twist to textile craft. The experiments with stencils led to three different design outcomes made from natural canvas cloths, rough linen fabrics and cottons hand-dyed in Indian tumeric.
Exhibited at Casavells - Side Gallery, Season 2020
Exhibited at Collectible Fair, Mar 04 2020 - Mar 08 2020
New Zealander born designer Sophie Rowley (b. 1986) obtained her B.A. in Fashion and Textile design from HTW Berlin in 2011, and, having interned with Alexander McQueen and Diane von Furstenburg, completed an MA in Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in London in 2014. After graduating she worked for British designer Faye Toogood in London then for and Godrej and Boyce in India. In 2017 she returned to Berlin to set-up her own design practice.
In her work Rowley reveals hidden aesthetics of everyday matter through the experimentation with process, craft and material. She collaborates with the industry by developing bespoke studies and concepts for targeted applications of new materials. Through research and experimentation, she pushes the physicality of materials to their limits, revealing new features and hidden unexpected aesthetics. Using a wide range of techniques, her approach focuses on sustainability and innovative material development.
Her most iconic collection is her 'Khadi Frays'. The series of textile wall pieces were developed by the designer during a one-year residency in India. They are inspired by the Khadi Spirit, an Indian term which describes the state of illimitable patience. In 'Khadi Frays', the repetitive actions of conventional handweaving techniques was reversed. Instead of building up the material thread by thread, a solid block of multiple weaves forms the starting point. Each layer undergoes a carefully calculated destructive process, during which over 10,000 threads are patiently removed, leaving a frayed finish behind. Through eating into these material blocks, multi-dimensional textures are created, gradually dwindling down to the base layer. The differences in weight and tension of the warp and weft lead to subtle variations in shade and dependent upon the perspective angle, reflections on the surfaces occur. Through this technique simplistic and modest materials were transformed into intricate arrangements and elegant wall pieces, endeavoring to give a modern twist to textile craft. The experiments with stencils led to different design outcomes made from natural canvas cloths, rough linen fabrics and cottons hand-dyed in Indian turmeric. Rowley and her 'Khadi Frays' series were selected as finalists for the renown LOEWE craft prize in 2019.
Another important collection by Sophie, was her Material Illusions series. The concept brought together a collection of conventional waste materials which, having undergone a range of craft and experimental techniques, came to appear "nature-simulating". With these bespoke material studies and concepts, she helped brands repurpose their own waste in unique and experimental ways, which look beyond the standard aesthetics often associated with recycled materials.
A continuation of her Material Illusions series was her Bahia denim collection. Rowley was commissioned by Nissan in 2014 to develop her Bahia material into a dashboard, which was showcased in a Tokyo as part of an exhibition focused on innovative materials. Material Illusions won the Surface category of New Design Britain Awards 2015, and in the same year, Rowley was commissioned by David Chipperfield Architects to create bespoke material study for the Water Bar at Selfridges department store, London.
Her work is featured in Radical Matter: Rethinking Materials for a Sustainable Future, published by Thames & Hudson in 2018, and was exhibited as part of Poème Brut at Design Museum Gent in the same year.
CASAVELLS 2020
JUN 2020 - SEP 2020
CASAVELLS is a unique almost hidden space in the Catalonian region of L'Empordà, set in an antique masía (farmhouse) from XVIII century that brings together a harmonic coexistence be- tween art, craft and design. Committed to innovation and tradition, the gallery collects, preserves, and promotes modern and contemporary art and design, whilst exploring ideas across cultures through dynamic curatorial initiatives and collaborations. Casavells 2020 combined a younger generation of designers born after 1980, exploring new techniques, materials and sensations of the design world. Alongside the display of cutting edge colorful organic forms, the 2020 edit dedicated a room to a collective exhibition of craft including works by contemporary basket makers from around the world, promoting and preserving ancient techniques, as well as experimenting with new and innovative weaves.
COLLECTIBLE FAIR
BOOTH 0_3
