Spring 2023 VAP Series
Peter Welz - February 1, 2023
Online | 11:45am - 1:00pm
Peter Welz, lives and works in Berlin. He has been exhibiting in the most prestigious institutions and galleries worldwide, such as the Musée du Louvre and the Centre Pompidou.
Since the late 1990s, he has developed a kinetic approach to the human figure – through video installation he has been expressing the movement of bodies.
His work is characterized by multimedia choreographic installations that include sculpture, painting, video and dance. Since 2005 Welz has been working on the Portrait series,
a study on five subjects: Francis Bacon, Casa Malaparte, Michelangelo Antonioni, AA Bronson & Douglas Gordon.
Samantha Nye - February 15, 2023
Rhoden Arts Center | 11:45am - 1:00pm
Samantha Nye is a painter, video and installation artist living in Philadelphia.
For the first decade of her life, she was a relatively unsuccessful child model.
At five years old she remembers her mother driving her to South Beach casting offices as she energetically rehearsed the line, "Hello, my name is Samantha Nye, and I'm 7 years old... This is my right profile..."
She often performed seven.
She learned early about performance and identity. Her work reframes seduction through reenactments of 1960s pop culture. Her paintings, videos, and installations highlight aging bodies, celebrate queer kinship, and facilitate an intergenerational dialogue about sexuality and pleasure.
Samantha currently has a large-scale video installation at the Arnhem Museum in The Netherlands. In 2022 she had multiple international installations in Korea, and multiple cities in The Netherlands and opened a solo painting show, Attractive People Doing Attractive Things In Attractive Places, at Candice Madey Gallery, NYC. In 2021, her solo video installation My Heart's In A Whirl at The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, was written about in The Boston Globe, BOMB Magazine, The Brooklyn Rail and was included in the "Best of 2021" in the Boston Art Review. She subsequently had a painting acquired by The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and was included in a group show called New Light: Encounters and Connections. Her international press includes De Volkskrant, Metropolis M, Trouw, and Het Parool.

Rania Matar - March 15, 2023
From Personal to Universal: the Photography of Rania Matar
As a Lebanese-born American artist and mother, Matar has dedicated her photographic practice to exploring both sides of her cross-cultural experience, and personal narrative. Her work addresses issues of personal and collective identity, through photographs of girls and women in the United States where she lives and in the Middle East where she is from.
Throughout her work, she seeks to focus on our essence, our physicality, and on the commonalities that make us human, to emphasize underlying similarities rather than apparent differences. Her photographs reveal the beauty in our shared humanity – in the universal as well as personal experience of women encountering the challenges of growing up regardless of background.
Matar is a recipient of the 2018 Guggenheim Fellowship, and a 2022 Leica Women Foto Project Award.

Stories from the Visiting Artist Program
"The most important thing I have learned is what it feels like when my voice and decisions have power. The choices Lily, Marley, and I make about who we will invite is a responsibility that far outweighs the administrative work in the background. We are not only representing PAFA and our student body, we are also helping to create the art world we want to be part of." –Kristy Jane (Low-Res MFA '22), VAP coordinator
Graduate Students Lead Visiting Artist Program to Benefit PAFA Community
"Visiting artists like Haley Josephs have come into my studio and I lost my mind. It was such an incredible experience; you get a total random chance to meet an artist you've been following for years. Usually these programs are not run by students, so it's really exciting to be able to have that agency in school." – Claudia Valenti (MFA '20), previous VAP coordinator

Léon François Comerre (10 October 1850 – 20 February 1916) was a French academic painter, famous for his portraits of beautiful women and Oriental themes.

Life

Comerre was born in Trélon, in the Département du Nord, the son of a schoolteacher. He moved to Lille with his family in 1853. From an early age he showed an interest in art and became a student of Alphonse Colas at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lille, winning a gold medal in 1867. From 1868 a grant from the Département du Nord allowed him to continue his studies in Paris at the famous École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in the studio of Alexandre Cabanel. There he came under the influence of orientalism.

Comerre first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1871 and went on to win prizes there in 1875 and 1881. In 1875, he won the Grand Prix de Rome for his painting "L'Ange annonçant aux bergers la naissance du Christ" (The Angel announcing the birth of Christ to the shepherds). This led to a scholarship at the French Academy in Rome from January 1876 to December 1879. In 1885 he won a prize at the "Exposition Universelle" in Antwerp. He also won prestigious art prizes in the USA (1876) and Australia (1881 and 1897). He became a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1903.

He exhibited in London at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and in Glasgow at the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.

In 1884, he moved to Vésinet, a suburb of Paris, where he remained until his death in 1916.

His wife Jacqueline Comerre-Paton was also a painter. His nephew was the renowned artist Albert Gleizes.

A catalogue raisonné of Comerre's work was published in 1980 by Les Presses Artistiques, Paris.

Major works

1875: L'Annonce aux bergers
1878: Jézabel dévorée par les chiens

Getting ready for 14 for brunch Easter, this Sunday!
Three for Lunch in the Ladies Parlor. My Old Historic House.
Curtains in My Tree and Gina from , Gina @ VictoriaWannaBe. Gina said my blog is the reason she started blogging. Janice and I had dogs in common, hers was a Pug and mine was a Beagle, but they were both named, "Sissy." Janice first came to my house a few years back during our fall festival. It was a surprise, she came to the door and didn't say a word. Then I soon said, well I know you. She has been here several times since. Gina came the next fall, but she introduced herself upon entrance. He have been blogger friends ever since.
A few weeks back Janice emailed and said that she and Gina would like to come for a visit during spring break. Seems those two have become friends as well and they both live in Columbia ,Mo. I said, of course you should come and I'll will make lunch.
Having three for lunch is hard to do in a large dinning room and make it feel intimate. So I had the ideal to set up a small table in the Ladies Parlor. I carried a walnut, Victorian, flip top, card table down from the second floor stair landing. It was a perfect size for three and still room for a center piece . My first thought was to do a Easter theme. Possibly use my, hand blown glass, Victorian Easter Eggs. Gina saw my collection some years back and now has a collection of her own. But, after I tried and tied, I could never make the eggs work just right. I started out with green Easter basket grass and eggs. Was not enough. Tried cut glass containers, full of eggs. Too busy. Went with a candy bunny, nothing. Even tried a sterling silver English egg coddle with glass eggs, So I scraped the egg idea and went with cherubs, instead. I have a large collection of porcelain cherubs on a walnut eterge in my guest bed room. At the last minute I added some open red roses and a centerpiece was born.
The weather was not perfect. In fact in rained the night before and started again latter that day. It was a little damp and cold, so I was forced to turn up the heat. They arrived on time, and after hugs and saying Hello to Buddy, whom they had not formally meet, we settled down for lunch.
I made a homemade quiche. It was full of spring onions, green peppers and country sage sausage. Along side I served a fresh green salad and fresh strawberries. I also had home made sticky rolls, that I made the night before. I served peach tea. I sent them home with homemade Easter cookies, bunnies and chicks.
After lunch and a look around the house, where we tried to take selfies, played with Buddy, chased Buddy out of the left overs, took more pictures and then we went for a ride all around Pike County. I took my camera so I could share some of the sights, but when I tried to take the first picture, I realized I had no chip in the camera. I wanted to show Gina and Janice some of the old plantation homes in and about the area where I live. Gina took some pictures, so she might share someday.
Helps to take your finger off of the camera.
We ended up at the antique mall where I sell stuff and work part time. Buddy went along for the ride. Gina found some Victorian treasures to take home with her. Latter they left, Buddy had a walk and I retired, half dead, as the old man, ain't what he used to be.
Hope you enjoy the tour and lunch. Come anytime, give me a little warning and I will cook up a mess of something. Hope you all are ready for Easter, it will be here in a little over a week. I am having 14 for mid day meal. Have to start getting it all ready tomorrow. Takes awhile. Open the table, add leaves. iron tablecloth and napkins, get out all the dishes, glasses and silver. Wash them and set the table. I am using the glass Victorian eggs with Easter grass, jonquils, candy bunnies and malted eggs If you would like to see the eggs before then, check out a former blog about them. What comes first, chicken or the egg, my old historic house BlogSpot.
Gina brought the little French wire patio furniture to me as a hostess gift. She is a doll house person too.
They both wanted to snitch these, but I kept a watchful eye.
Come anytime for a tour. I will always leave the lights on and Buddy is more than glad to give a kiss. HAPPY EASTER!

DON'T CHAT TO MAN..
Grime fans appreciate good drama, but things have been incredibly dull lately. Watching the f@*kery between Jammer and Lethal B the last few weeks has been somewhat painful and entertaining at the same time. Their dispute, reignited recently, apparently goes back to around the time when Bizzle's "Pow" came out. They've have been going back and forth, trading insults, making threats, doing a bunch of unsurprising ish MCs do these days via Grime Daily/youtube. Take a look at Jammer here, drunk and shirtless telling everybody to suck their mum –

BLACK STARS BRING SUMMER HEAT…
DVA – Bullet A Go Gly (featuring Badness, Riko, Flowdan, and Killer P)
Major new, buyable 12″/mp3 release from Keysound Recordings. DVA keeps it raw and defiant, and all the MCs here are extra tuff. I just can't tell you how great I think this is right now, but I'll try. It is just perfect, extremely exciting, and aggressive grime we just can't get enough of. The release also contains an excellent remix from Dusk + Blackdown.
P Money and ??? – Fruit & Veg (DigitalRip)
Another amazing tune – this one is tough, but also quite funny at the same time. The audio quality is poor, but the jam knocks hard regardless. In a very tense atmosphere constructed by the producer (whose name we don't know), two MCs (P Money and and another MC whose name we don't know either) throw insults and accusations at apples, mangos, oranges, peas, carrots, broccolis, etc. The attacks and accusations are particularly vicious, especially the ones directed at grapes and berries. (more…)

Welcome to our new series – No Rest For The Wicked – here, we will post new and old exciting grime-related goodies (music, youtubery, et cetera) mostly on Sundays and Fridays. First of all, let's get something clear – grime is not dead. It is in a far more resilient position than most of us might think. Some of us stopped paying attention in 2006/7, our attention shifted elsewhere, and leading grime artists contributed to the demotivation and undermining of an otherwise hungry and enthusiastic audience (fans and critics.) Well, the audience became detached and drifted elsewhere. Some taking the funky train, some narrowing or broadening their listening/soundscapes, concentrating on other music. We stopped listening listening, but the music keeps on… last year we had excellent/nearly classic albums from Durtty Goodz, Kano, some classic tapes from Jammer and Trim.
More recently, there's a new generation of grime MC's coming up – young and hungry fire spittas flooding the virtual grime market with freestyle videos, mixtapes, and one-off tracks you'll find in forums and on mixshows. Along with the new batch of MC's are some recently created and re-structured sites to document the creativity and passion of the younger generation/the new jacks, some of whom seem to be refreshingly unconcerned with making bland, repetitive funky, club music, and songs with dances, and they seemed to be embracing that raw energy and that interesting space once occupied by the pioneers and luminaries, some of whom are now admittedly/increasingly/mostly making "commercial grime." On these sites, along with new, up and coming MC's, contents from the more established artists are also abundant.
Tim Westwood has been an ardent supporter of fresh talents, and of grime in general, and showcasing new music on his two shows on Radio 1 and 1Xtra – check his YouTube channel for loads of exclusive freestyles and performances. The young producer Bless Beats is the midst of all this, and he's not crumbling at all under the pressure. He mostly makes beats for established "commerical grime" artists (radio-friendly grime artists who are hitting the charts with funky/danceable grime tunes) but also maintains links to fresh, young artists looking to create raw, innovative grime. He gets shouts and respect from most of the young'ns not just because of his success, but more so because of his age. The situation is quite interesting, the position Bless holds at the moment… the pressure to create more chart topping numbers and embrace success creating R&B/pop songs, or start making beats for artist who might never make it pass Rinse.fm, Westwood, or their street and internet albums/fame. He's very good at what he does, so he just might keep working that line for years to come, as you can hear on the following track, which will appear on his up coming album –
Bless Beats – Let It Out feat. Donaeo, Wretch 32, and Double S

Q: why does withColumn on dataframe in pyspark mess up dataframe I have a dataframe with the following schema:
last_year_df.printSchema()
root
|-- invNum: string (nullable = true)
|-- custNum: string (nullable = true)
|-- entprsNum: string (nullable = true)
|-- billTp: string (nullable = true)
|-- invAmtUSD: string (nullable = true)
|-- invRevenueTp: string (nullable = true)
|-- entryDt: string (nullable = true)
|-- dueDt: string (nullable = true)
|-- settledDt: string (nullable = true)
|-- days_to_settle: integer (nullable = true)

I can do show() on the fields and describe() on days_to settle fine.
I want to adjust days to settle by the following function.
def days_adjust(days):
    if days < 0:
        ret_days = 0
    elif days > 120:
        ret_days = 120
    else:
        ret_days = days
    return ret_days

adjust_udf = udf(days_adjust, IntegerType())
last_year_df = last_year_df.withColumn("days_to_settle_adjusted",adjust_udf(last_year_df['days_to_settle']))
#last_year_df = last_year_df.withColumn("days_to_settle_adjusted", last_year_df['days_to_settle'] + 100)

last_year_df.select("settledDt").show()

After the withColumn with the udf, any action I try on the dataframe gives an error.  If I do the commented withColumn without the udf, the dataframe is fine after.  Here is the error:

Death Row Exoneree's Nonprofit Organization Robbed
By Innocence Staff
Resurrection After Exoneration, an Innocence Network project founded in 2007 by death row exoneree John Thompson, was burglarized early Sunday morning.
Intruders broke into the organization's New Orleans office and made off with many valuables, including job-training supplies, computers and other electronics. Police are currently investigating the incident.
The organization, which provides services for individuals upon release from prison to facilitate a successful transition back into society, faces a huge economic setback as a result of this incident.
A fundraising page has been set up and donations can be made to help the nonprofit organization recover from this debilitating loss. You can make your tax-deductable donation here.

Born in Sydney in 1965. My parents were journalists so there were always 'colourful characters' dropping in for dinner. As a kid I loved to impersonate these people. Even then I must've enjoyed observing the human condition. Life took a downturn when I was in 5th class and my mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She battled cancer for 10 years and died just after my 19th birthday. I think spending so much time in hospitals and around the sick must've been the reason I decided to become a nurse. No one else in my family had followed a medical path. I trained at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in the days of 'hospital training' and later specialized in Oncology which is the care of cancer patients. The area I really liked was Bone Marrow Transplantation. I was head chemotherapy sister at the University College Hospital in London. They had the biggest transplant unit in Europe. I loved nursing. The people I met and cared for were an endless source of inspiration enabling me to develop an empathy with the human condition, its frailties and spirit. Nursing probably made me a better writer. I didn't write a word till I was 35 years old!!! Yes, almost one foot in the grave! In 2000 I did a Creative Writing Course via correspondence whilst recovering from Glandular Fever. I loved it, so straight after I did another course, at Sydney University with Libby Gleeson. It was with Libby that I found out about the Australian Society of Authors Mentorship program. My application to the ASA's program was successful and Garry Crew was my mentor. The day I opened the letter to say I'd been successful was such an exciting one. I remember how much I screamed – my kids remember too! My first novel 'White Lies' was written during the mentorship and Lothian published it in 2002. It was made a CBCA notable book for 2003. I was on my way to really becoming a writer and since then I haven't stopped.

«Swinging on a Star» () — американская популярная песня, написанная композитором Джеймсом Ван Хьюзеном и поэтом-песенником Ральфом Блейном. Впервые её исполнил Бинг Кросби (при участии вокального квартета «The Williams Brothers») в музыкальном фильме «Идти своим путём» (1944).

В фильме один из трудных подростков признаётся, что очень не хочет идти в школу. В ответ главный герой, отец О'Мэлли поёт назидательную песню, где в шутливом ключе обрисовывает перспективу нерадивых, с одной стороны, и «звёздную» судьбу трудолюбивых и самостоятельных, с другой. Заключительная мораль: Не все обезьяны в зоопарке, с некоторыми из них ты встречаешься каждый день. Так что смотри, всё зависит от тебя: ты можешь стать лучше, чем теперь, ты можешь покачаться на звезде.

Песня «Swinging on a star», как и другая песня из того же фильма, «Silent Night», стали хитами Бинга Кросби. Песня «Swinging on a Star» в 1944 году 9 недель продержалась на 1-м месте в американских песенных рейтингах. В марте 1945 года она удостоилась «Оскара» в номинации «Лучшая песня». В 2002 году песню приняли в Зал славы премии «Грэмми».

За роль отца О'Мэлли Кросби получил «Оскар» в номинации «Лучшая мужская роль».

Песню записывали более 200 раз. Американский институт киноискусства поместил эту песню (в версии из фильма 1944 года «Идти своим путём») на 37-е место своего списка ста лучших песен из американских кинофильмов.

Hundreds of people marched to the Statehouse steps Wednesday afternoon for the Idaho Child Abuse Prevention Rally.
On the steps of the Capitol Building, speakers talked about issues affecting children inside and outside of the home, as well as on the internet.
"Approximately 20 new children appear on these porn sites every month - these are child pornography sites," said Victor Dominguez, with the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Coalition. "Many are kidnapped or sold into sex.
"It's estimated that 34,000 Idaho children receive an internet solicitation annually," he added.
Another speaker, social worker Melissa Bernier, said part of the problem is systemic.
"In my almost 20 years in child welfare, it's been my experience that we as a system tend to be more reactionary than preventative," Bernier said. "After something has happened, we come in as a system, but we lack services to support resources and families to prevent something from happening - to stand up for children and families."
A wide range of organizations helped plan Wednesday's rally, including St. Luke's, the Idaho Children's Trust Fund, Faces of Hope, the Nampa Family Justice Center, and a statewide network of children's advocacy centers.

Dmitry Bivol expects a great fight against Joe Smith Jr.
Main NewsMar 4, 2019by Clive Bernath
Main_Event_crowd 1200 v 800.jpg
Dmitry Bivol knows that Joe Smith Jr. is coming to rip his title away from him – and the WBA Light-Heavyweight king says that will make for a great fight when he defends his belt at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY on Saturday, March 9.
Bivol (15-0 11 KOs) puts his strap on the line for the fifth time and it's been smooth sailing since he destroyed Trent Broadhurst inside a round in his first defense in November 2017. The Russian has put Sullivan Barrera, Isaac Chilemba and Jean Pascal to the sword since that win in Monaco, and now the hard-hitting Russian goes head to head with Smith Jr (24-2 20KOs).
The Long Island man fights for his first World title against Bivol, and the 29 year old has vowed to pour everything out of himself to land the crown – and the defending champ believes that their styles will gel for a great clash.
"He's a strong guy," said Bivol. "I saw his fight against Bernard Hopkins, and he's really strong. He has the same age like me, he's young. But he has some minus points like many fighters that I will use to my advantage for my win. He moves forward a lot. This is a good challenge for me, to stop him. "I saw in his eyes when I met him, he wanted my belt. And I'm glad, because only that way it can make a good fight."
"We are both of different styles. When two guys meet in the ring with different styles in boxing, it usually makes a good fight. I think it will be a good fight for boxing fans. "To be honest, I don't think about the belt. I just think about who my opponent is, and what he can show me in the ring. All I think about is how I should beat him. In my sight, I feel like I should just beat him. Of course, the belt is good for history, but I only think about my opponent."

Scott Matthew Parker (* 13. října 1980, Londýn, Anglie) je bývalý anglický fotbalista, po skončení aktivní kariéry fotbalový trenér. Byl též součástí anglického národního týmu, se kterým si zahrál mimo jiné na Euro 2012. Ve své kariéře hrál za 5 londýnských klubů a v Premier League nasbíral více než 300 startů.

Od roku 2019 do roku 2021 trénoval anglický klub Fulham. Od roku 2021 do roku 2022 působil jako trenér jiného anglického klubu AFC Bournemouth.

Kariéra
Parker se narodil v londýnské čtvrti Lambeth a v deseti letech nastoupil do akademie Chaltonu. Do prvního týmu se dostal v roce 1997 a zůstal tam až do roku 2004. Celkem za Charlton odehrál 145 zápasů a vstřelil 10 gólů. Díky svým výkonům si vysloužil přestup do Chelsea FC, která za něj zaplatila 10 milionů liber. U Blues podepsal Parker smlouvu na čtyři a půl roku, jenže zde nakonec neodehrál ani 30 utkání. V sezoně 2004-05 Chelsea získala mistrovský titul, který je Parkerovi také počítán, ale v této sezoně odehrál pouhé 4 ligové zápasy. V létě 2005 se střední záložník stěhoval na sever - do Newcastlu za 6,5 milionu liber. Během tohoto angažmá odehrál třetí zápas za národní tým, ale od té doby se na soupisku Albionu nedostal. Až v roce 2011. Po dvou sezonách se Parker vrátil zpět do Londýna, kde ho koupil West Ham za 7 milionů. Zde odehrál výborné čtyři sezony, během kterých se stal oporou týmu, ale po sestupu v roce 2011 odešel do Tottenhamu, ke si ho vyhlédl trenér Harry Redknapp. Sezona 2011-12 se dá považovat za jeho životní, kdy se stal jasnou oporou Tottenhamu, který se během sezony nacházel na příčkách zajišťujících účast v Lize mistrů. Za své skvělé výkony se dostal zpět do reprezentace, kde odehrál v roce 2011 sedm utkání, a nakonec se dostal i do týmu pro Euro 2012. V létě 2013 přestoupil do Fulhamu, v pořadí již pátého londýnského klubu, za který hrál.

Reprezentace
Scott Parker reprezentoval Anglii v každém výběru od 15 let. První zápas za Albion odehrál 16. listopadu 2003 proti Dánsku, když střídal v 66. minutě tehdy osmnáctiletého Wayna Rooneyho. V letech 2003-2006 odehrál pouhé 3 zápasy, až v roce 2011 se zařadil do základní sestavy a odehrál 7 utkání. V roce 2012 byl Royem Hodgsonem nominován na Euro, kde odehrál v základní sestavě všechna tři utkání ve skupině a pomohl k výhrám nad Ukrajinou, Švédskem a remíze s Francií. Ve čtvrtfinále proti Itálii odehrál 93 minut, poté byl vystřídán Jordanem Hendersonem, Anglie však nakonec vypadla na penalty 2-4.

Epigenetic processes in the male germline (2014)
Abstract Sperm undergo some of the most extensive chromatin modifications seen in mammalian biology. During male germline development, paternal DNA methylation marks are erased and established on a global scale through waves of demethylation and de novo methylation. As spermatogenesis progresses, the majority of the histones are removed and replaced by protamines, enabling a tighter packaging of the DNA and transcriptional shutdown. Following fertilisation, the paternal genome is rapidly reactivated, actively demethylated, the protamines are replaced with histones and the embryonic genome is activated. The development of new assays, made possible by high-throughput sequencing technology, has resulted in the revisiting of what was considered settled science regarding the state of DNA packaging in mammalian spermatozoa. Researchers have discovered that not all histones are replaced by protamines and, in certain experiments, various species of RNA have been detected in what was previously considered transcriptionally quiescent spermatozoa. Most controversially, several groups have suggested that environmental modifications of the epigenetic state of spermatozoa may operate as a non-DNA-based form of inheritance, a process known as 'transgenerational epigenetic inheritance'. Other developments in the field include the increased focus on the involvement of short RNAs, such as microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs and piwi-interacting RNAs. There has also been an accumulation of evidence illustrating associations between defects in sperm DNA packaging and disease and fertility. In this paper we review the literature, recent findings and areas of controversy associated with epigenetic processes in the male germline, focusing on DNA methylation dynamics, non-coding RNAs, the biology of sperm chromatin packaging and transgenerational inheritance.

Former Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith would have to move to the city before running for mayor
By Jessica Anderson
Chief T.J. Smith, the lead Baltimore Police spokesman, has announced his resignation, effective immediately. (Kevin Richardson / Baltimore Sun video)
Former Baltimore Police spokesman T.J. Smith hasn't said exactly what his plans are since abruptly leaving the department last week, but it could involve house hunting.
Former Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis, Smith's former boss who was fired by Mayor Catherine E. Pugh in January, has said Smith should try his hand at politics and run for mayor in the 2020 election.
But before Smith could run for any political office in Baltimore, the current Baltimore County resident would have to move.
To run for mayor, candidates must be 25 years old and be "a resident and qualified voter of Baltimore City for at least 1 year preceding the election," according to the state board of elections. That requirement is also true if he were to run for city council, city council president, or comptroller. The next city primary is set for April 28, 2020 and the general election is Nov. 3, 2020.
T.J. Smith for Baltimore mayor? Ex-Police Commissioner Kevin Davis calls for spokesman to run
By Colin Campbell
Smith, 41, said he's been planning for some time to buy a home in Northwest Baltimore, where he grew up and still has family.
When asked if he were considering running for office in Baltimore, he said, "I'm listening to all the citizens of Baltimore."
"I'm honored," that people are considering him for office, he said, adding that he wants to remain involved in the city.
Smith said the response from residents shows that many appreciated his work for the police department, where he said he gave them "real talk" during some of the department's most trying times.

"T.J. exudes all of the personal characteristics of a leader. The thing he'd do most for Baltimore would be to pull Baltimore together," Davis said previously about his endorsement, which he made on the CW Baltimore's "Square Off" show on Sunday.
"I'm enjoying my next phase, whatever that might be," Smith said Sunday. "I'm going to support our current administration. My full support is behind Mayor Catherine Pugh. ... If she succeeds, we all succeed."
He said that he will "probably not" stay in law enforcement. For now, he said, he's planning to relax through the holidays, spending time with his son.

Residency requirements have become contentious in city campaigns. During the recent primary for the Baltimore state's attorney's race, a judge threw out separate lawsuits against candidates Ivan Bates and Thiru Vignarajah that alleged the candidates did not live in Baltimore. State law requires a candidate for state's attorney to have lived two continuous years in the city before an election.

Being involved in a car accident is not a fun experience. There is usually some vehicle damage and sometimes a physical injury. Many times it is truly an accident where no one is at fault. Other times you are at fault but were not trying to be malicious or reckless. Perhaps you were trying to pass someone and cut it a little close. In other instances maybe your mind was elsewhere and you did not stop in time for the car in front of you when it slammed on its brakes. These situations arguably do not form the requisite intent to reckless driving. However, police officers and state troopers will write reckless driving tickets for accidents even if they did not see the accident.
A single car accident with no witnesses or other evidence is not reckless driving. The case law is clear on that issue. However, many times, police officers and troopers will appear on the scene of an accident and issue a reckless driving charge simply because there is some damage. After all, the charge only requires driving in a manner as to endanger life, limb, or property. Since the property is damaged it must be reckless driving to them. However, in Powers v. Commonwealth, it was held that the mere happening of an accident is not reckless driving. In that case, the damage was severe. There were vehicle impressions on the road for over 840 feet, two trees 20 feet apart were debarked, the vehicle was in a ditch off the highway, and the engine was thrown 36 feet from the car. Notwithstanding all of the damage, the court found the Defendant not guilty of reckless driving because there was no way to determine what had caused the accident. Rather, the Defendant could have fallen ill or have been met with a sudden emergency. That case was decided almost 50 years ago and we still use it today with success.
It should be noted that just because there were no witnesses to an accident does not mean an automatic acquittal of a reckless driving charge. Remember, if any statements were made to the officer regarding speed or other distractions, it can become difficult to say "we don't know what happened in this case Judge." For example, if it's snowing out, you are driving a little sports car, the speed limit is 50 mph but you are driving 65 mph (and tell that speed to the officer) around a curve and strike someone or hit a tree, that could be reckless driving. While on a normal dry day that speed may be just fine, on a snowy day, that could be too fast given the weather. Each reckless driving case involving an accident is different.
Minor accidents have a wide array of possible outcomes in court. If there is a witness (usually the other driver), then there will either be a trial or, if appropriate, a plea deal reached with your attorney and the prosecutor. In cases where the officer did not see the accident but there is another driver involved, these types of cases are ripe for trial. It becomes a "he said, she said" type of case. With all things being equal among the parties, many Judges will find the Defendant not guilty of the charge. If the Judge finds a lesser degree of culpability (i.e. guilt), the Judge may find the Defendant guilty of the lesser offense of Improper Driving. Every case is different.
Over the years it has become clear that many insurance companies will find fault or no fault for their insured on their own investigation irrespective of what happens in court. We have had clients' insurance companies contact them before court to advise that they are not being held at fault for the accident (and that the court result won't matter). In other cases, even if the client is awaiting trial on their reckless driving charge, the insurance companies have already decided their insured will be held responsible for the accident. Other times, there is just no way to know what the insurance company will do.
One thing is clear, it is best to plead not guilty in accident cases where there is a charge of reckless driving. Even if the client is clearly at fault and would be found guilty by the Judge, pleading "not guilty" would at least preserve the question of fault for insurance purposes. They will do their own analysis and have to parse through what they have from their client's statement and that of the other driver. All things being equal, when they look at the court proceeding, they can see their insured plead "not guilty." After all, when analyzing fault, what are they to think when their insured says the accident is not their fault but then plead guilty in court. It is better to stay consistent in that case.
In accident cases in Fairfax County, you will have a right to have a trial. However, the first court date is generally not the trial if there is another driver involved. Rather, if you plead "not guilty," the Judge will continue the case to a later date that other driver will be subpoenaed to appear for that next court date for the trial. It will be at that time you should be prepared for trial.
In the event you wish to plead guilty at the first court hearing, there will be no trial date. Instead, the Judge will either find you guilty of the charge or, sometimes, find you guilty of a lesser offense. However, it is never advisable to simply plead guilty in reckless driving cases that involve an accident.
Whether you wish to have a trial or wish to enter a guilty plea in your reckless driving case, it is important to have a lawyer. Remember, not all accident cases are reckless driving in Fairfax County. Some are ripe for plea deals to lesser offenses while others are perfect for trial. It is not advisable to appear for trial without a lawyer because it will be the officer (and sometimes the other driver) against you. In some cases, it will be both the officer and the other driver against you. This is not a fair fight but it could be made more fair with the right help.

If ever there was a list of Australian terroirs, Clare Valley would be near the top. Its location an hour north of Adelaide, its latitude and heat degree days (over the growing season) suggest a very hot clime suited to reds, yet white wines prevail. Taut, lime-sherbet Rieslings with fine minerality and ageing capacity are the region's most famous product, followed by Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

If ever there was a list of Australian terroirs, Clare Valley would be near the top. Its geographical position an hour north of Adelaide, its latitude and heat degree days (over the growing season) suggest a very hot clime suited to reds. Yet white wines prevail as these factors are offset by an average altitude of 398m (versus Geisenheim at 100m), low relative humidity (37 percent versus 56 percent), high sunshine hours, significant continentality levels (albeit less Geisenheim), cooling south-westerly sea breezes and prime, low, fertile red loam over marly limestone and shale soils set in cooling hill pockets. Irrigation is strictly controlled and less called for in the dry climate.
Taut lime-sherbet Rieslings with fine minerality and ageing capacity are the region's most famous product, followed by Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The town of Clare, founded by Irishman Edward Gleeson in 1840, first prospered on the back of copper mining, then a wheat and wine boom during the late 1800s. Vines were first planted in 1853 by an itinerant Cornishman at a site near present-day Watervale, and Birks Wendouree was founded before the century was over. The corporates moved in during the 1960s dry-wine boom, although there remains a core group of small, family-owned estates.
Recommended Producers: Grosset and Jim Barry Wines are among the leading exponents of the Clare Valley style.

2015 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling Clare Valley
Grosset has built up a reputation as one of Australia's best producers, particularly acknowledged as Australia's king of Riesling, an iconic estate that has almost single-handedly been responsible for the renaissance of Clare Valley Riesling. The likes of Hugh Johnson quoted as saying that it is "One of Australia's best small wineries, producing delicious Riesling". In Robert Parker's view, "It is one of the finest New World Rieslings money can buy". Jeffrey Grosset, an oenology graduate, gained vast experience with large Australian wine companies, such as Lindemans, before starting his own winery in 1981 in the historic township of Auburn, in the Clare Valley, Australia. The winery is based in a picturesque old butter and ice factor.
These vineyards have the most advanced vine canopy management in the region and the virtual absence of chemicals in pest and disease control is unique. Jeffrey Grosset has been held in such high esteem amongst his peers for his work with the Riesling grape that back in 1998 he won the accolade of 'Riesling Winemaker of the Year' in Hamburg, Germany.
A testament to his winemaking efforts, is his Polish hill Riesling being rated in the Langton's classification as exceptional (only 17 wines in total and only 3 of these being white wine make this grade) alongside other iconic wines such as Penfolds Grange and Clarendon hills Astralis. The 2015 vintage marks the 35th anniversary of his winery which was established in 1981.
The Polish Hill displays a hint of lime juice, lemon grass, lifted floral aromatics of orange blossom, more open than other Polish Hill Rieslings I have had in the past. As refined as ever on the nose, this wine displays amazing poise that is tightly coiled around a steely, chalky backbone. The palate is refined and linear, persistent, deep and long, a lovely grape pith grip on the tannins. Great care and attention has been given to this wine and it shows in its depth of flavour. The refinement of this wine makes it approachable now but will effortlessly age over the next 10 years, the patient amongst you will be rewarded.
The eight hectare Polish Hill vineyard is at 460 metres altitude and is just five kilometres from Springvale. Its infertile, shaley soil is slightly acidic and its topsoil has a clay and shale crust. As the vines have to work harder than those at Springvale, it produces smaller, distinctly flavoured and concentrated berries.
It's the explosive flavours of the Grosset Polish Hill 2016 that distinguish this vintage with power and tremendous intensity of flavour. The bouquet has lavender, a touch of lime and some minerally notes while the palate has surprising generosity, lime juice characters and some characteristic chalkiness. It is tight, uber-fine with steely structure, before a dry finish featuring pure natural acidity and hints of schisty mineralogy.
While there's no doubting its longevity, there will be many who will love this Polish Hill in its youth. Ageing Potential: 6-15 years, up to 20 years
A personal favourite of mine and the Riesling that opened my eyes to this wonderful grape, it would be easy to get misty eyed and assume this is great. Thankfully, the 2017 lives up to its billing and might be one of the best wines Jeff Grosset has ever made. Taut with vibrant citrus, especially the lime lead character that Clare is famous for, this is ultra-steely and mineral, seeming to go on forever. Sensational stuff. This will benefit from 5 or 6 years in the cellar to open up. Sign me up for at least a case! Drink 2022 to 2030+.
2017 Grosset Springvale Riesling, Watervale, Clare Valley,
Almost translucent in the glass, the nose reveals a delicate floral bouquet of elderflower and white rose petals, complemented by a soft white peach character. The palate is pleasingly balanced with a slightly rounded texture, a lemon tinged acidity running neatly through it, carrying flavours of greengage and orange zest throughout. A light styled Riesling which is crisp and clean, and rather moreish on the long finish. Attractive for drinking in its youth yet will offer enjoyment over the coming 5-7 years; drink from 2018 – 2025.

2017 Watervale, Claire Valley Riesling, Mount Horrocks
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 The Armagh Shiraz flaunts a gorgeous aromatic red and black fruit core intermingled with clove, chocolate box, and eucalyptus aromas that are still very primary. Bottled under screw cap, it has a really fine palate that is very elegant yet powerful. With vibrant acid, firm and very fine tannins, the flavors are rich and layered with spices coming through on the long finish. Drink it from 2015 to 2030+.

These chocolates really bring me back to my love of maths! If only teachers were also chocolatiers... learning maths with an abacus like this would really have grabbed my focus! Only thing is....  i would only have learnt my subtractions!!! chocolate!!


This is just the antidote for all those stories about helpless damsels in distress waiting for a prince to rescue them. Please, give our girls more bold and brave heroines like Margaret. I love sneaking books like these into my daughter's book bag and watch her reading them when we get home!
Brave Margaret is from Ireland and she can cast a spear as well as a herring net. She longs to travel beyond the wide sea. She talks a travelling sailor into taking her with him on his voyage in exchange for her cattle. On the journey many strange and terrible things happen. This story has the feeling of myth with sea serpents, giants and a hag. Where it differs from most myths I know is that the hero of the tale is a woman. Well worth checking out.
Every year, in the northern hemisphere spring, thousands of animals from all over the world journey to the Arctic. Grey whales from Mexico, teens from Antarctica and caribou from Canada all head north to eat, feed and breed.
Join wildlife author Nick Dowson and award-winning illustrator Patrick Benson on this epic journey.
This is the true story of Ishaq, a young boy who lived in Baghdad in the ninth century. At that time the west was struggling in the dark ages while in the east, scholars discovered and translated the works of the great Greek philosophers. Ishaq becomes a scholar like his father and travels far to collect manuscripts for the house of wisdom. The House of Wisdom was the centre of new ideas and learning, drawing scholars from all over the works.
I loved the glimpse into another culture and time that this book offered. As a lover of books, I wish that I could have visited or worked in the House of Widsom.
This book is one in a great new series featuring famous Australians who helped create Australia. I'm really excited that there are such fabulous books available for young Australians to learn about their history. As a kid I can remember being frustrated by the emphasis in books on the northern hemisphere experience.
In Meet Captain Cook, we learn about the famous explorer's life as well as his epic voyage to discover and map the east coast of New Holland. Did you know that 58 animals went on the trip along with the rest of the crew and their supplies?
Shirley Hughes is another of my favourite author / illustrators. Daisy Saves the Day is a good picture book for older readers curious about what things used to be like for children. As well as a glimpse into the past, it is also a great story. Daisy Dobbs is sent far from home by her mother to be a scullery maid. Although Daisy works very hard, she isn't very good at housework and longs to be able to go to school again. This could be a good book to read to kids who are having a hard time at school. Perhaps things aren't so bad for them after all!
This lovely book tells the story of how the secret of silk was smuggled out of China by a young princess. Her parents arranged a marriage for her with the Prince of a nearby desert kingdom. She was young and did not want to leave home. Her maid buried within her elaborate hairdo the seeds of the mulberry tree and the eggs of the silk worm so she would have something from home to comfort her.
This gorgeous book was originally published in 2005 in Maria Parr's native Norwegian. I am so glad it was translated into English. If you are wondering what the book is like, think modern day Pippi Longstocking, only to my mind, much funnier. I read this one myself before giving it to my daughter and laughed aloud, a lot!
Lena Lid and Trille Yttergard are next door neighbours with wild imaginations. As Lena leads Trille from one mad-cap adventure to another, Trille wonders if he is Lena's best friend. Through the adventures of Lena and Trille, Maria Parr has captured the way in which children think and the way that the adults in their lives respond to them. The characters in this story are depicted with humour, insight and sensitivity. This story is a beautiful depiction of what growing up is like - full of laughs, heartache and wonder. You may want to read this book with younger readers as it deals with the death of a loved one and mentions war.


The web has evolved into a complex "organism" which, to some, appears to have a life of its own. As the Internet has evolved, so too have online marketers and publishers. The dot-com balloon is said to have burst but savvy publishers have grabbed the coat tails of the Google search monster and employ Google AdSense on content-rich websites. Google AdSense, a pioneer for providing content-sensitive advertisements, has been a boon to webmasters looking for alternatives to amortize their web trafffic.
The concept is simple: The publisher or webmaster inserts a java script into a website. Each time the page is accessed, the java script pulls advertisements from Google's AdSense program. The ads are targeted and related to the content contained on the web page serving the ad. If a web surfer clicks on an advertisement served from Google, the webmaster serving the ad earns a portion of the money that the advertiser is paying Google for the click.
While Google's initial system was fairly rudimentary, only providing publishers the option of displaying a handful of advertising formats, the technology behind even the first ads was anything but simplistic. The technology used to employ Google AdSense goes far beyond simple keyword or category matching. A complex algorithm is used to determine the content contained on the web page serving the ad. Once the content is assessed, and appropriate ads that contain related content are served.
Google has come a long way in understanding the needs of publishers and webmasters. Google now offers a system that allows full ad customization. Webmasters can choose from twelve text ad formats and can customize Google advertisements to complement their website and fit into existing webpage layout. The options provided allow webmasters to select and create custom color palettes that match an existing website's color scheme, making the ads a much more natural fit.
Podcasting Tools – http://www.podcasting-tools.com .
Google recently took a huge step forward, providing publishers the ability to track their earnings based on webmaster-defined channels. Recent improvements to the Google AdSense reporting have resulted in webmasters having the capability to monitor an ad's performance with customizable online reports that can detail page impressions, clicks and click-through rates. Webmasters now have the ability to track specific ad formats, colors and pages within a website. Webmasters can quickly spot and track trends. The new flexible reporting tools allows webmasters to group web pages by URL, domain, ad type or category, providing webmasters insight into what pages, ads and domains are performing the best.

Gardel
By Richard Brookhiser
The New Yorker, August 21, 1989 P. 26
Talk story about the life of Argentine entertainer Carlos Gardel, who died in 1935, & about a program in his honor at the United Nations. In 1935, at the age of 44, Gardel, an Argentine singer, composer and movie star, died, at the height of his career, in a plane crash in Colombia. The day before the 54th anniversary of that event, the Amigos del Tango en Nueva York, held a commemoration of Gardel in the Dag Hammarskjold Auditorium at the United Nations. Though Gardel became a national hero in Argentina, he was born in Toulouse France, the illegitimate son of Berthe Gardes, an ironing-woman. In 1893, mother & child immigrated to Buenos Aires & he was exposed early to the musical form that was to make him famous & that he was to transform. The tango had been developing as a dance in Buenos Aires since the 19th century, but Gardel was the first composer to use the rhythmas asvehicle for popular song. As a result, he became, in the words of an English-language biographer, Simon Collier, "Latin America's first superstar of light entertainment." By the '30s, Gardel had an immense reputation in the Spanish-speaking world, and a considerable one in France as well. His main asset, however, was his voice: light, suave & given to expressive, well-shaped phrases. At the time of his death, he was on the verge of success in America... Even now, fresh flowers appear on his tomb in Chacarita Cemetery in Buenos Aires every day; a lighted cigarette is often placed in the hand of the statue. (He was an incorrigible smoker.) Tells about the program, & about the Amigos del Tango... As writer left, he wondered whether there would be Prince commemorations in Buenos Aires sometime late in the 21st century.

Q: PM2 listening on port 443 shows EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::443 I have a Node/Express server running on an AWS Lightsail instance with PM2 as a process manager. The server is currently listening on port 4000. The IP address for the instance is attached to a subdomain that has a valid SSL certificate and automatically redirects from HTTP to HTTPS. Visiting https://example.com at the moment shows the 'Congratulations! You are now running Bitnami Node.js 12.18.3 in the Cloud." page.
Currently, all the Express endpoints are only accessible through http://example.com:4000/endpoint, but I want the Express app to run on port 443 so that the endpoints are accessible immediately on https://example.com/endpoint.
I read that PM2 is able to listen on ports 80 and 443 and tried the method mentioned in the documentation, but whenever I change the port number in the .env file to 443 and reload the app using pm2 reload app, I get the following error:
0|app    | Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::443

App.js
const express = require('express');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');

const app = express();
app.use(express.json()); // for parsing POST bodies
dotenv.config();

app.get("/hello", (req, res) => res.send("Hello World!"));

app.listen(process.env.PORT, () => {
    console.log(` App listening on port ${process.env.PORT}!`);
});

.env
PORT=443

Edit:
pm2 status output

A: Unfortunately I wasn't able to use Nginx, but instead used Apache's virtual hosts config to redirect all traffic from ports 443 to 4000. More info here.

A: you console error stats port is already being used, give a try changing PORT=8282 and see if this solves, however, if the problem still persists then move your dotenv configuration at the top require('dotenv').config().
