By Lada Vukić
Translated from the Croatian by Christina Pribićević-Zorić
Ten-year-old Emil lives with his mother in a rented flat in an unnamed European city. While she works hard in a low-paid job, Emil struggles to understand school work, abstract maths and the motivations of the adults that surround him, He is a special boy who talks to some people normally while with others is fully or partially mute. His uncle Jakov thinks that everything to do with Emil is about intimacy and trust and searches for a way to get close to him, while blind Professor Antun delights in his acute, almost magical hearing abilities and the local drug dealer connives to take advantage of the boy's guilelessness.
Special Needs reads like a modern-day To Kill a Mockingbird, where the heart-breaking truth of life is narrated through the voice of an innocent child. With the perception and skill of an artist in charge of her craft, the author has created for us the unforgettable character of Emil, who understands everything and yet is so rarely understood.
"Special Needs' true strength is the tightly controlled narrative, preserved beautifully in Christina Pribichevich-Zorić's confident translation. Vukić never loses the voice of her young protagonist, maintaining the authenticity and appeal of Emil and his uniquely matter-of-fact worldview, while letting his self-awareness to begin to slowly evolve as the story turns in an unexpected direction. This work, her first, which won the V.B.Z. award as the best unpublished novel of 2016, is steady, strong, and a subtly different take on the exceptional child narrator, one that may be of particular interest to those who have spent time with the extraordinary ordinary people who see the world in a way that exposes truths we so often pretend to ignore."

Curto, Vincenzo F. (2013) Wearable chemo/bio-sensors for sweat sensing in sports applications: combining micro-fluidics and novel materials. PhD thesis, Dublin City University.
In the last decade, we have witnessed an exponential growth in the area of clinical diagnostic but surprisingly little has been done on the development of wearable chemo/bio-sensors in the field of sports science. In particular, the use of wearable wireless sensors capable of analysing sweat during physical exercise can provide access to new information sources that can be used to optimise and manage athletes' performance. Lab-on-a-Chip technology provides a fascinating opportunity for the development of such wearable sensors. In this thesis two different colorimetric wearable microfluidic devices for real- time pH sensing were developed and used during athlete training activity. In one case a textile-based microfluidic platform employing cotton capillarity to drive sweat toward the pH sensitive area is presented that avoids the use of bulky fluid handling apparatus, i.e. pumps. The second case presents a wearable micro-fluidic device based on the use of pH responsive ionogels to obtain real-time sweat pH measurements through photo analysis of their colour variation. The thesis also presents the first example of sweat lactate sensing using an organic electrochemical transistor incorporating an ionogel as solid-state electrolyte. In this chapter, optimization of the lactate oxidase stability when dissolved in number of hydrated ionic liquids is investigated. Finally, a new fabrication protocol for paper-based microfluidic technology is presented, which may have important implications for future applications such as low-cost diagnostics and chemical sensing technologies.

There's no shortage of malls in Taipei to window shop in and same goes for the food courts, since most malls have a food court somewhere in their basement. Q Square is a newer mall that some might not have discovered yet, but definitely worth checking out. Easily accessible by MRT, it is even connected underground through the walkways at the Taipei Main Station stop.
The snapshots of the QSqaure food court are from a few years ago and I know since I've been there recently that it's gone through some changes since then. There's two sides to the basement floor- one side with the traditional square of food court fast food eats, plastic bento displays and plenty of seating and then the other side with mini stations of bakeries and cafes like Richard Blanc, Cloudy Cupcakes, Ariel Le Cafe and Movenpick.
There's also plenty of sit down restaurants if you don't want to bother with the food court, but during peak dining hours there's often a wait- ramen, curry, tempura udon sets.
Japanese bakeries like Yamazaki to stock up on some freshly baked sweet bread.
Jasons Supermarket if you need to pick up some fresh fruit or gourmet items as a local or tourist.
My friend didn't have as good luck with the Hainan Chicken rice which was lacking in chicken, instead fluffed up with shredded cabbage.
This cold soba/udon tempura combo was also a surprise in value and size, but sadly I think the Japanese shop was changed into a different store and menu on my most recent visit.
Or stick to Taiwanese eats with sticky rice ba zhang and wonton soup.
One souvenir that I've turned friends onto is the kimchi flavored popcorn from Planet Popcorn. Ask for samples if you spot this stand- it's kind of addictive with a spicy, sweet and slightly sour kick. My friends usually take home a bucket or two. There are plenty of other flavors- classic kettle corn, chocolate, cheese, caramel or wasabi.
Skip these cream puffs- I bought a box as a gift and disliked their frosting like filling and soft puff.
Lots to explore at Q Square- there's also restaurants like NY Bagel and Alleycats on the 1st floor; Ariel Le Cafe on the 2nd floor, and a whole floor of restaurants on the 4th floor including Crystal Spoon, Momo Paradise, Eat Together buffet and Vieshow theaters for movie watchers.
Oh yeah, there's shopping too!
Decked out in chandeliers, pink and even a carousel horse at the entrance, it would be hard not to notice Joy's Creperie passing by.
The decor uses the Dazzling Cafe template- a sort of modern romantic living room for all your besties, for the young afternoon tea crowd armed with camera phones to capture every detail and miniature eiffel towers to pose with.
Because of the awkward location of Joy's Creperie, along Keelung Road, near the freeway entrance, some might miss it even though it's quite close to the Taipei City Hall MRT exit. On the day I was there, I was surprised a the number of office workers and guys that were there.
The English and Chinese menu offers about six savory galettes and a dozen dessert crepes, with pictures for most items. The teas, juices, coffees and drinks are around NT$130-160, which is a bit of blackmail since they are mandatory, and not more than a glass.
The french cheese, egg and ham galette (NT$240) was decent and a good size, though the ham tasted like Futong slices from Costco.
My fruit tea was a bit of a disappointment compared to the fresh fruit teas I've had at other places filled with chunks of fruit and flavor.
The ratatouille with smoked sausage (NT$260) had a sweet tomato sauce, but the sausages tasted more Taiwanese than French. It looked more bountiful piled atop the center of the galette, but made it harder to split- we had to scoop the sauce and sausages to each side to eat it.
Classic salad galette (NT$180) came with a honey mustard type dressing.
The dessert crepes were also not what I was used to what I've eaten in the US and Toronto. The randomly named Merry Go Round Strawberry Lover crepe (NT$240) comes with fat strawberries top the crepe, lots of syrup and a scoop of ice cream. It seemed a bit disjointed and while it was pretty, I would have preferred the strawberries with nutella or caramel instead of strawberry syrup (which they said wasn't a choice).
The almond with salty caramel crepe (NT$180) didn't have strong accents of salt to play off the caramel- it tasted like it looks caramel sauce with crunchy bits. Having eaten at Creperie La Bretagne not too long before Joy's Creperie, I'd have to say Creperie La Bretagne's dessert crepes are more special and caramelized.
Joy's Creperie is very charming space and those who don't have other crepe experiences to compare it to might be satisfied with the experience, but the minimum drink charge might keep some from going again.
Cold and rainy night in Taipei and you're tired of hotpot or Grandma's got a little cold and you want to bring some food to her... where to go? Gwoo is the answer to those needing hearty chicken soup that will warm you up from head to toe.
Opened in 2007, the space still feels fairly new with the wood and brick design and can seat large groups up to 10 at their round tables in the main dining area. Private rooms are also available. Service and food is fairly quick.
A jumble of Chinese characters in a Chinese-only menu with too many dishes to choose from can make for a confusing dining experience in Taipei. But don't let that deter you from trying some of the good eats in Taipei like GWoo. If you are desperate, you can study the collage of photos outside their restaurant of some of their more popular eats (or take a pic of it on your phone) to refer to avoid any confusion. Or just bring someone who can read Chinese, since that's what I do.
The centerpiece and must order of the meal is the signature chicken soup. You can order the original version, or if you order the soup with mushrooms or cabbage and tofu, they'll serve it the original first and then add hot water and the vegetables for the second round.
The Gwoo chicken soup comes in a huge ceramic clay pot, steaming and full of chicken falling off the bone as the result for being cooked for hours. Comes in small, medium and large sizes, depending on how many people you need to feed- menu prices for the original soup range from NT$360 feeding 1-2 people, jumps to NT$1400 feeding 3-4 people and NT$2400 feeding 4-6 people. Prices get more expensive from adding tofu and cabbage to mushrooms to bamboo/pith and then shark fin being the most expensive. I've also ordered to-go from them, and the soup comes bundled in a large enough plastic bowl and double bagged to ensure no leakage.
The broth is so "thick" that an ultra thin layer forms to coat the soup when you don't drink the soup right away and the cooler air touches the soup.
The meat is so tender, unlike some chicken soups which have all the juice cooked out of the meat. If we were in the states, there'd be some noodles floating around it. But since we're in Asia, you can order some puffed rice squares (NT$15/2) to dip in it.
Now that I've been there quite a few times, here is my usual must orders. These dishes also come in small, medium and large sizes depending on how big your group is, but I usually order medium for these since I like these dishes.
Scallion pancakes and string beans - the string beans are a bit more fried and greasy here than I've had it in other places, but they are addictive tucked and rolled up inside the scallion cake. I also wrap the pork inside the pancakes too.
Sometimes we'll also get the stir fried noodles which sometimes comes heavy on the onions.
You can see once they add the cabbage and tofu after everyone has had a bowl of the original chicken soup, they also add hot water and the soup is not as rich.
Fresh fruit to end the meal.
So the next time I'm craving chicken noodle soup, you know where I'll be.

The Continental Op
kevinburtonsmith	Detective, Film, Hall of Fame, Short Stories, Television, Uncategorized	 August 16, 2018 September 8, 2020
Created by Dashiell Hammett
(aka "Peter Collinson)
"I first heard Personville called Poisonville by a red-haired mucker named Hickey Dewey in the Big Ship in Butte."
— the beginning of Red Harvest
He may be often mistakenly billed as "the first private eye", (that honour goes to John Daly Carroll's Three Gun Terry) but, for all intents and purposes, Dashiell Hammett's nameless detective for The Continental Detective Agency, popularly known as THE CONTINENTAL OP, is THE MAN!
There's no beating around the bush here. Sure, Carroll's Race Williams, a contemporary, was more popular, but he was always a bit of a cartoon. No, if we want to pin down the reason the P.I. genre even existed as something more than a few pulp tales with some urban Tarzans and their death-spitting roscoes, we'll have to place the blame directly on Mr. Hammett and his earthshaking creation. Without the Op, it's likely nothing else, not Chandler or Macdonald, Parker or Grafton, would be quite the same.
Simply put, that short, squat, middle-aged manhunter who didn't even have a name was the real deal. The terse tone, the casual violence, the cold, methodical professional, the cool pragmatism wrapped around a code of honor he would live — or die — for. That's what made the Op so special.
He appeared in countless short stories in the then nascent Black Mask (1929) and in just two novels, both originally serialized in that magazine. The first, the gloriously violent Red Harvest, was included by Time Magazine on a list of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005.
Hammett, of course, also gave us Nick and Nora Charles and Sam Spade. In the forties, long after he'd traded in the typewriter Hammett even dusted off the Continental Op character for a few bucks. He tinkered with him a bit, bulked him up, gave him a name and a secretary and sold him to a radio show, Brad Runyon, The Fat Man.
"I like being a detective, like the work. And liking work makes you want to do it as well as you can. Otherwise there'd be no sense to it."
"I had never shot a woman before. I feel queer about it."
OH, YEAH?
For all the hoopla Red Harvest has raised over the years, it should be noted that some fans consider Blood Money (1943) to be Hammett's true first novel, predating Red Harvest by two years, while others consider it a mere publisher's concoction. It originally appeared as two short stories in Black Mask in 1927 as "The Big Knockover" and "$106,000 Blood Money," but the two stories weren't published together as a novel until 1943, with little involvement from Hammett (except, of course, for cashing the cheques). He didn't think much of it as a novel and "not worthy of salvage." In fact, a decade earlier he had turned down a similar offer to release it as such.
UNDER OATH
"Hammett was spare, hard-boiled, but he did over and over what only the best writers can ever do. He wrote scenes that seemed never to have been written before."
— Raymond Chandler
"Yeah, sure, Red Harvest is a classic. But The Big Knockover is more fun. Hammett's first try at novel-length fiction is two interconnected novellas, ("The Big Knockover" and "$106,000 Blood Money"). He packs his story with colorful criminals, possibly more of them than in any other crime story by anyone. He brings back crooks from his own short stories, uses at least one real-life thug as a character, and even names two rogues "Holmes" and "Vance" after Sherlock Holmes and Philo Vance. The ending is particularly bleak, even if not quite a knockout. Hammett would learn how to do that later."

ROADHOUSE NIGHTS
(aka "The River Inn)
(1930, Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation)
Screenplay by Garrett Fort
Story by Ben Hecht
Based on the novel Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett
Director: Hobart Henley
Produced by Walter Wanger
Music: Sammy Fain and Jay Gorney
Lyrics: E.Y. Harburg and Irving Kahal
Starring Helen Morgan, Fred Kohler, Jimmy Durante, Charles Ruggles, Leo Donnelly, Tammany Young, Joe King, Lou Clayton, Eddie Jackson
Evidently this has very little to do with Hammett's novel, and instead is a musical comedy concerning reporters trying to get the goods on a gangster.
THE HOUSE ON TURK STREET | Buy the video |Buy the DVD
aka ""No Good Deed"
(2002, Seven Arts Pictures)
Shooting Began: July 17, 2001 in Montreal
Based on the short story "House on Turk Street by Dashiell Hammett
Adapted by Christopher Canaan and Steve Barancik
Directed by Bob Rafelson
Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Milla Jovovich, Stellan Skarsgard, Doug Hutchison
Another blown opportunity. In this one, Jackson is a San Francisco cop (not a private eye), long overdue for a vacation, who tries to help a friend find his missing daughter. But no good deed goes unpunished, and he's soon up against an international ring of bond thieves, led by Jovovich and Skarsgard. A cat and mouse game ensues. There's some talent at work here. Director Bob Rafelson did The Postman Always Rings Twice, Black Widow, Blood and Wine and Five Easy Pieces, and Steve Barancik did The Last Seduction. And Jackson was in Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and, uh, Shaft. So why is this so bad?
THE DAIN CURSE | Buy the video | Buy the DVD | Buy the DVD
6-hour serialized TV movie, later released as a two-hour version
Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett
Teleplay by Robert Lenski
Directed by E.W. Swackhamer
Starring James Coburn as HAMILTON NASH (The Continental Op in the book)
Also starringHector Elizondo, Jason Miller, Jean Simmons, Paul Stewart , Beatrice Straight, Nancy Addison, Tom Bower, David Canary, Beeson Carroll, Martin Cassidy, Brian Davies
"Except for the fact that the setting was changed from San Francisco to Baltimore (Hammett's birthplace), this was very faithful to the book. It even won an Edgar for Best Mystery Teleplay Special. Coburn's performance as the Op was very good. However, there were changes. The Op was given a name, Hamilton Nash, which is Dashiell Hammett spelled sideways. Sort of. And the tall, mustachioed, sliver-haired Coburn was obviously cast less for his physical resemblance to Hammett's character than to Hammett himself. I didn't regard this as an invalid interpretation, however, since it always seemed to me that the Op was Hammett's fictional alter ego, anyway. Interestingly, the more Hammett removed himself from his lead character (i.e. the Op is a first-person narrator; Spade and Beaumont are observed from a very objective third person viewpoint), the closer the character came to resembling Hammett physically. A very condensed version of the 6-hour miniseries was later released on video." (Jim Doherty)
"The Dickerson Agency? No." (Kevin Burton Smith)
(1994, Showtime)
An episode of Showtime anthology, Fallen Angels, originally broadcast sometime in 1993-94.
Based on the short story by Dashiell Hammett
Screenplay by Donald Westlake
Starring Christopher Lloyd as THE CONTINENTAL OP
and Darren McGavin as The Old Man
"Tonight's double-helping of Fallen Angels brought a Hammett and a Woolrich story. The Hammett was 'Fly Paper', which was, imo, v. well done (though theaction, I think, was shifted from SF to LA). Screenplay by Donald Westlake, and the Op was played by Jim from Taxi!! The twist (not the wandering daughter, but the moll) was quite well played too, but maybe because Hammett gave her some good lines." (EddieDugan)"Don Westlake wrote the script, which was fine. But they cast Christopher Lloyd as The Op and Darren McGavin as the old man when, obviously, they should have ignored their ages and reversed the roles. (Dick Lochte)
ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE
(No, really!)
(1970, East Hampton, Long Island, NY)
Adapted by Kenneth Cavender
Presented at The John Drew Theater
Presented by The Yale Repertory Summer Theater
Starring Louis Plante as The Continental Op
Presented as a one-act play; part of a double bill which went under the name Cops and Horrors. The other play was Dracula by Bram Stoker. yuo may have heard of it.
RED HARVEST: THE OPERA
Music and libretto by Sean Carson
Believe it or not, Sean Carson, a one-time grad student in music composition at NYU, and a lifelong Hammett fan, wrote (or maybe is still writing) an opera based on Hammett's Red Harvest. One scene (based on the chapter called "Laudanum") has already been presented in workshop form in New York City. The full-length version, when it's completed, should be about an hour and 15 minutes, scored for 7 instruments, with 6 singing roles.
According to Sean, "One of the things that bugs me about a lot of opera is that it has a lot of emotion, but not much plot. That's one of the reasons I thought Hammett would be a good choice. Emotion is important to a certain point — it's part of the drama — but one reason that operas are boring for so many folks is that relatively little happens over a couple of hours. In fact, Hammett's flat, terse style is one of the things that attracted me musically. It's rhythmic and abrupt, rather than mellifluous. It's descriptive, rather than sentimental. All these things make it perfect for an American opera (at least from my perspective) – we're a "get to the point" kind of people. Also, I think that music can provide whatever emotional and character-related themes are necessary to illustrate what's happening below the surface of the novel."
Unfortunately, the project seems to be about as dead as Miles Archer. I haven't heard from Sean since 2003 or so. But you never know. I guess it won't really be over until the Fat Man sings…

Many go online to further engage with content seen on TV; men and women and adults of different ages do so in different ways
NEW YORK, March 30, 2011
NEW YORK, March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketers are increasingly spending time, money and creativity to reach their audiences in non-traditional ways. A recent 24/7 Wall St./Harris Poll on Social Media and Television set out to see if these efforts are paying off. It found that many Americans are participating in this type of interactions. Among online U.S. adults, two in five say they have gone online or utilized social media to comment, post, watch or read
something about a television show or program (43%). Among these 80-some million people, a third say they have done so after watching a TV show or program (33%) and fewer say they have done so either before watching (18%) or while watching (17%) a TV show or program.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100517/NY06256LOGO )
These are some of the findings of a new 24/7 Wall St./ Harris Poll survey of 2,526 U.S. adults surveyed online between March 11 and 15, 2011 by Harris Interactive.
Younger online adults are much more likely to take part in these activities than are older people -- six in ten of those 18-34 say they have engaged with TV programs in this way (59%), compared to fewer adults aged 35-44 (40%), 45-54 (36%) and 55 and older (28%) who say the same. When adults are doing these things also varies by age. Three in ten of those 18-34 years (31%) say they have gone online to do these activities while watching a TV program, compared to very few adults 55 and older who have done the same (5%). Adults 55 and older, on the other hand, are most likely to go online after seeing a TV program (22%) if they are going to go online at all.
This poll also finds that:
* Half of adults who engage with TV shows or programs online (53%) do so in an individual forum such as by posting on their own or a friend's Facebook page, Twitter account or blog, 44% do so on a website or page created by the TV content provider such as a TV network's Facebook page or website, and a third (33%) do so on a separate media outlet's site, such as an entertainment or news site;
* Women are more likely than men to engage in an individual forum (57% vs. 50%), while men are more likely than women to do so on a separate media outlet's site (38% vs. 27%);
* Younger adults are more likely than those older to engage individually while older adults are somewhat more likely to do so on a site or page created by the content provider;
* Two in five online adults are a fan or a follower of a TV network, program or show on Facebook or Twitter (39%) while the same number are not (41%); one in five do not use Facebook or Twitter (20%);
* Three quarters of adults who engage with TV programs or shows online say that it provides more information, which is an important reason why they do it (76%), two thirds say the analysis or summary is important to them (68%) or it's a source of additional entertainment, which is important (67%); half say that it's important that they engage with other viewers (51%);
* All age groups are equally likely to place importance on finding additional information online (between 75% and 77%), but younger adults are more likely to place importance on engaging with other viewers (54% of those 18-34 and 56% of those 35-44 compared to 40% of those 55 and older); and,
* Among the online adults who do not comment, post, watch, view or read anything about TV programs or shows online, six in ten say it's because they don't want or need to (60%), a third say they don't think about it (34%), one in five say they don't have the time (20%) and fewer list privacy (12%) or other reasons (7%).
Many TV networks, programs and shows are investing in websites, online programming and social media outreach to further capture and engage their audiences, and, most online adults are aware of these efforts – almost six in ten say that when watching a program on television they are aware of additional material available online (57%). However, depending on who a marketer wants to target, they might be well advised to focus their efforts accordingly since this poll makes clear that different groups sign online in different ways, and at different times.

A mail from Daily Kos: Join the Fight to Protect Social Security
Orikinla Osinachi,
President Obama has appointed a bipartisan commission to develop recommendations to balance the budget. For whatever reason, the commission is loaded with Blue Dogs and Republican opponents of Social Security. For example, the Republican co-chair of the commission, Alan Simpson, recently insulted an advocate for women's rights by saying Social Security is like a welfare "milk cow with 310 million tits." Seriously.
And that's not all Simpson has said. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) has put together a website with Simpson's most offensive quotes. The website has a game where you try and tell Simpson's real quotes from fake ones. Play the game, and join the fight to protect Social Security, here:
Click here to see what Alan Simpson said about Americans who depend on Social Security.
Many members of the deficit commission are multi-millionaires and corporate CEOs who are out of touch with America. Some members of the commission have suggested cutting health care for veterans in order to preserve expensive weapons deals for defense contractors. A majority of the members of the commission favor gambling some, or all, Social Security funds on Wall Street.
In November, the commission will make its recommendations. In December, Congress is expected to vote on the recommendation without allowing any amendments. Before the commission releases its recommendations, we need to defend Social Security recipients from Wall Street, and veterans from defense contractors, by discrediting Alan Simpson's campaign to cut those vital programs.
To do this, click here to learn more about Alan Simpson, share his quotes with your friends, and join the fight to protect Social Security.
Thanks for all you do,

A Letter from President Barack Obama
A Letter from President Barack Obama:
When you and I set out on this journey three years ago, we knew that ours would be a lengthy struggle to build a new foundation for this country -- one that would require squaring off against the special interests who had spent decades stacking the deck in their favor.
Today, it is clear that you have shifted the odds.
This morning, I signed into law a bill that represents the most sweeping reforms of Wall Street since the Great Depression, and the toughest consumer financial protections this nation has ever seen. I know that I am able to do so only because the tens of thousands of volunteers who make up the backbone of this movement overcame the most potent attack ads and the most powerful lobbying the special interests could put forward.
Our special-interest opponents and their Republican allies have now set their sights on the elections in November as their best chance to overturn the historic progress we've made together.
Organizing for America counts entirely on supporters like you to fight back -- no special interests, no corporate PACs. To keep making change and to defend the change we have already won, we need you -- and at least 8 other people in Keller -- to contribute so we have the resources necessary going into the election.
Please donate $5 today and help Organizing for America lay the groundwork for the fights ahead.
Because of Wall Street reform, we will ensure that Americans applying for a credit card, a mortgage, or a student loan will never again be asked to sign their name under pages of confusing fine print. We will crack down on abusive lending practices and make sure that lenders don't cheat the system -- and create a new watchdog to enforce these consumer protections.
And we will put an end to taxpayer-funded bailouts, giving us the ability to wind down any large financial institution if it should ever fail.
The passage of Wall Street reform is at the forefront of the change we seek, and it will provide a foundation for a stronger and safer economy.
It is a foundation built upon the progress of the Recovery Act, which has turned 22 months of job losses into six consecutive months of private-sector job growth. And it is a foundation reinforced by the historic health reform we passed this spring, which is already giving new benefits to more than 100 million Americans, ushering another 1 million Americans into coverage by next year.
But today's victory is not where our fight ends.
Organizing for America and I will move forward in the months ahead on the tough fights we have yet to finish -- even if cynics say we should wait until after the fall elections. This movement has never catered to the conventional wisdom of Washington. And we have fought to ensure that our progress is never held hostage by our politics.
You and I did not build this movement to win one election. We did not come together to pass one single piece of legislation. We are fighting for nothing less than a new foundation for our country -- and that work is not complete. As we face the challenges ahead, I am relying on you to stand with me.

Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps at 63rd Cannes Film Festival
Michael Douglas is back in his Oscar®-winning role as one of the screen's most notorious villains, Gordon Gekko. Emerging from a lengthy prison stint, Gekko finds himself on the outside of a world he once dominated. Looking to repair his damaged relationship with his daughter Winnie, Gekko forms an alliance with her fiancé Jacob (Shia LaBeouf). But can Jacob and Winnie really trust the ex-financial titan, whose relentless efforts to redefine himself in a different era have unexpected consequences.
One of the most anticipated Out of Competition films at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival is Oliver Stone's Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, the sequel to his 1987 Academy Award-winning film Wall Street. Famous actor Michael Douglas returned to reprise his role as Gordon Gekko, but Shia LaBeouf is not actually another Charlie Sheen of the first Wall Street. The film is highly rated as one of the seven films to watch out for at the prestigious film fiesta. Supple magazine will join others at the Cannes on Friday where the Publisher Hope Obioma Opara is already expected to promote our inaugural Eko International Film Festival (EKOIFF) as we prepare to host the film world in the mega city of Lagos this summer.

President Barack Obama Needs Support for Wall Street Reform
President Barack Obama has called for support for his populist proposal for financial regulatory reform. The Wall Street Reform will end misappropriation of funds by reckless Wall Street speculators who are gambling with the savings of shareholders and manipulating the loopholes in the financial system to exploit and rip-off ignorant depositors and investors. The revolutionary reform is to save American taxpayers from being asked to bail out big banks again when the cookie crumbles, to save Main Street from the greedy king-pins and lobbyists of Wall Street; to protect consumers and American families and prevent future meltdown.
The following is the e-mail from President Obama on the importance, relevance and significance of the imperative Wall Street Reform.
It has now been well over a year since the near collapse of our entire financial system that cost the nation more than 8 million jobs. To this day, hard-working families struggle to make ends meet.
We've made strides -- businesses are starting to hire, Americans are finding jobs, and neighbors who had given up looking are returning to the job market with new hope. But the flaws in our financial system that led to this crisis remain unresolved.
Wall Street titans still recklessly speculate with borrowed money. Big banks and credit card companies stack the deck to earn millions while far too many middle-class families, who have done everything right, can barely pay their bills or save for a better future.
We cannot delay action any longer. It is time to hold the big banks accountable to the people they serve, establish the strongest consumer protections in our nation's history -- and ensure that taxpayers will never again be forced to bail out big banks because they are "too big to fail."
That is what Wall Street reform will achieve, why I am so committed to making it happen, and why I'm asking for your help today.
Please stand with me to show your support for Wall Street reform.
We know that without enforceable, commonsense rules to check abuse and protect families, markets are not truly free. Wall Street reform will foster a strong and vibrant financial sector so that businesses can get loans; families can afford mortgages; entrepreneurs can find the capital to start a new company, sell a new product, or offer a new service.
Consumer financial protections are currently spread across seven different government agencies. Wall Street reform will create one single Consumer Financial Protection Agency -- tasked with preventing predatory practices and making sure you get the clear information, not fine print, needed to avoid ballooning mortgage payments or credit card rate hikes.
Reform will provide crucial new oversight, give shareholders a say on salaries and bonuses, and create new tools to break up failing financial firms so that taxpayers aren't forced into another unfair bailout. And reform will keep our economy secure by ensuring that no single firm can bring down the whole financial system.
With so much at stake, it is not surprising that allies of the big banks and Wall Street lenders have already launched a multi-million-dollar ad campaign to fight these changes. Arm-twisting lobbyists are already storming Capitol Hill, seeking to undermine the strong bipartisan foundation of reform with loopholes and exemptions for the most egregious abusers of consumers.
I won't accept anything short of the full protection that our citizens deserve and our economy needs. It's a fight worth having, and it is a fight we can win -- if we stand up and speak out together.
So I'm asking you to join me, starting today, by adding your name as a strong supporter of Wall Street reform:

I like this a lot. One thing that bothers me is how you say "Information widely considered to be interesting...." What is the determinant of that? I'd like a better scheme, or at least a few more guidelines/criteria, because while I know what you're getting at this is so vague it can undermine a lot of the rest of the policy if someone wants to argue hard with it. -- evkl (need to talk?) 14:14, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
I think TROM added that one. What I think it means is, that the trivia may or maynot be interesting depending on others view.... You can add more if you want.--ForceFire 06:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, that was mine. I was sure I'd replied to this too.... hmm..... Anyway, that remark was meant for the everyday, general trivia that one usually finds and has no problem with. Like I said (or meant, at least), the true trivium that has no place on the rest of the page. Administrators, and some of the more regular users, know what's suitable and not. I trust their judgment. If it's as contrived as hell, then of course it won't be accepted. —darklordtrom 04:32, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Is it any better? What else needs to be added?--ForceFire 10:05, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't want to touch your userpage, but you need to undo what you did to the headers. We don't use the level one headers, they're too big. Any page you see with those headers needs to be changed. --electAbuzzzz 11:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Oh, right. You could've done it yourself if you wanted. I won't Bite.--ForceFire 12:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Sprite Trivia
What trivia is not worth mentioning?
Game-based trivia
Sprites: Just because?
There really needs to be a proper reason for this rule. There are some Pokemon that have very notable sprite trivia listed, which cannot be against a policy "just because". XVuvuzela2010X 22:59, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
From what I've been told, it's because readers can just look up and see the sprites to see the differences in some. We don't need to be told "The color changed between Generations" or something similar when we can just see that on the sprites (AKA: No need to state the obvious). :P I agree that Jynx would be an exception, and there are exceptions on occasion, but why Nosepass? ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ 23:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Nosepass is mentioned because it was depicted as being gray, and round-edged in Gen III, and while its main sprites were corrected in Gen IV, its menu sprite was never changed, and still depicts this error as of Gen V.
XVuvuzela2010X 23:15, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Oh, well it's that sort of thing that is considered obvious. People can see its color scheme was changed by just looking at it. :D I was saying Jynx was an exception because of the controversy that surrounded the Pokémon, that they changed her colors. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ 23:19, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
I did think that may be the case. But there are also quite a few pages that state if a Pokemon recieved a new sprite or palette change, for example, Forretress:
Forretress is one of the few Pokémon not native to Sinnoh to have its sprite changed in Platinum
We also mention Arbok and Mantyke's patterns, though these are also mentioned in their Pokedex entries. I just think that it would be best for the rules to be clearly state which things are and are not notable, to avoid users adding the wrong things. XVuvuzela2010X 23:35, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Laziness. that is all. I would've explained, but I was too lazy.--ForceFire 07:12, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Should there be a rule stating which types of trivia are more important, and thus should be placed higher up than other pieces of trivia? Rather than just being jumbled up like they are now. XVuvuzela2010X 00:28, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Anyone there? It would certainly make it look more tidy. XVuvuzela2010X 13:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I kinda got it listed. But I'm not sure which would be important than the other. I just put the species-based trivia at the top since I assume that is the most added trivia around the wiki. You can add suggestion if you want to.--ForceFire 03:07, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Where Trivia should be Placed.
I think it should also be mentioned where certain trivia should be placed. A great example is the fact that "Who's That Pokémon?" was skipped in BW003 should only be mentioned in the BW003 article rather than both the BW003 article and the "Who's That Pokémon?" article since the trivia is about something that happened specifically in BW003. Whereas, the fact that "Who's That Pokémon?" (finally) returns in the Best Wishes! series should only be mentioned in the "Who's That Pokémon?" article rather than both it and the Best Wishes! series article. Catch my drift? --Landfish7 21:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Just my opinion
Personally I love Trivia, I absorb it like a sponge, but even I agree with removing stuff like "generation x, x, and x, all introduced 5 pokémon that start with the letter q". It could cause someone's mind to explode trying to absorb all the useless trivia. I like trivia that compares the games to the anime, for example how a character seems to be like a certain trainer class, or how an anime character is in the games as a npc (not counting main characters and gym leaders which are obvious). Personally, this seems like a good policy, and should be implemented, maybe minor changes could be made, but with the large amount of Trivia in almost every article it needs to be implemented as soon as possible. (preferably before we're allowed to add Trivia again) I have a habit of wanting to post Trivia a lot, and once I can add it again, this would be really helpful to prevent me posting unnoteworthy Trivia. Angelicwitch93 20:37, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
A new rule?
Along with creating a userpage, adding trivia appears to be a main reason new users join Bulbapedia. So, in light of the current Trivia ban, I have an idea. Ban all new users from adding trivia. They can get to add trivia at the same time they are granted the ability to edit their userpage. When (or to be more realistic, if) the current trivia rule is removed, there is going to be a surge in trivia adding, due to its inevitible build up over the months. New users are supposed to ask on the talk page first, though they never do. If they violate the rule, be harsh and instantly block them for a day. XVuvuzela2010X 01:13, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I don't think bulbapedia will let this policy get away with using the word "stupid". Can you replace it with a word like silly? Mothim will rule all! 03:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC) 10:25 p. m. December 27 2011 ET

Q: Multiline && combinator operator for command chaining in batch file I see that this operator is used in windows (and might be Linux?) to chain/combine multiple commands in one line. Commands are executed one after another, as long as preceding complete successfully (exit code 0).
However, I do not understand if it can be used in batch file, where you specify commands one after another, one command per line. How do you achieve the same effect in this case? How do you split cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 into multiple lines? How do you terminate
cmd1
cmd2
cmd3

as soon as first command fails?
I would also like to know the name of the operator to find the answer to questions like this myself later.

A: In GNU/Linux I can split the command cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 into multiple lines in (e.g. for readability) in a script file like this:
cmd1 &&
cmd2 &&
cmd3

A: cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3

can be written in multiple lines as
cmd1
if not errorlevel 1 cmd2
if not errorlevel 1 cmd3

where each command execution will depend on the result of the previous one

A: The difference between them is:
cmd1
cmd2
cmd3

will fire each command individually and allows for the termination of the batch job if you hit Ctrl + c before one finishes.
Where as
cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3

will launch the commands one after the other, but, without looking at the script/in one go.
For further example,
Take the first example, if you edit the script whilst cmd1 is running and change cmd2 to cmd3, it will load cmd3 when cmd1 has finished.
On Linux, if I do ifdown eth0 I will lose my ssh session, so, instead I do ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 to chain the commands.
If you want to do something with regards to fails, you should look at if statements and switches along with return codes and errorlevels. Linky .

A: How does && work?

However, I do not understand if it can be used in batch file, where you specify commands one after another, one command per line

The rest of this answer is for Windows batch files.

How do you split cmd1 && cmd2 && cmd3 into multiple lines?
The commands can be split using if and %errorlevel%
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
cmd1
if !ERRORLEVEL! equ 0 (
  cmd2
  if !ERRORLEVEL! equ 0 (
    cmd3
    )
  )

I would also like to know the name of the operator &&
The && operator is one of two Conditional Operators. The other is ||.

commandA && commandB      Run commandA, if it succeeds then run
  commandB
commandA || commandB      Run commandA, if it fails then run
  commandB

Source Redirection

Further Reading

*

*An A-Z Index of the Windows CMD command line - An excellent reference for all things Windows cmd line related.

*EnableDelayedExpansion - Delayed Expansion will cause variables to be expanded at execution time rather than at parse time.

*%Errorlevel% - Almost all applications and utilities will set an exit code when they complete/terminate.

*if - Conditionally perform a command.

*redirection - Redirection operators

A: For batch file, you need adding a ^ delimiter after each conditional operation && (or ||). For instance:
echo 1 && ^
echo 2 && ^
copy >null && ^
echo 4

On Veterans Day, November 11, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt will appear on the Mall at a spot between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial to break ground for the long-delayed World War II Memorial. The grandiose, triumphal design of the memorial has been criticized widely on aesthetic grounds–it reminds many of the work of Albert Speer, Hitler's favorite architect. But there's a bigger problem: The memorial will break up the country's most important site for protest demonstrations.
This is where 250,000 people gathered to hear Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963. This is where half a million people gathered for the Vietnam Moratorium demonstration in 1969 to sing "Give Peace a Chance." This is where the AIDS quilt–the 40,000-plus panels covering the equivalent of sixteen football fields that commemorates people who have died from AIDS–has been displayed regularly since 1987. This is where the Million Man March met in 1995, the Promise Keepers gathered in 1997 and the Million Mom March against gun violence rallied this past May.
The memorial will occupy 7.4 acres. In that space a private organization headed by Bob Dole plans to build a granite plaza that will include two triumphal arches, each as high as a four-story building, and fifty-six marble columns, each seventeen feet tall and decorated with bronze funeral wreaths and huge eagle sculptures.
Stopping the plan now won't be easy. Originally, the American Battle Monuments Commission selected a site near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. But J. Carter Brown, the chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts, objected that it was "unacceptable" to "tuck [the memorial] away in the woods." The commission approved the Mall plan in late September, in a 7-to-5 vote.
Defenders of the plan argue that the site and design selection process have taken longer than World War II itself and that the memorial should be built now, before all the veterans are dead. But memorials like this are not built for the participants in the events that are commemorated. Memorials are supposed to help posterity remember and honor its forebears. The Lincoln Memorial wasn't even begun until 1914, half a century after Lincoln's death.
Babbitt has the power to overrule the commission, but that's unlikely, given the Clinton Administration's eagerness to please veterans. An organization called the National Coalition to Save Our Mall (www.savethemall.org) mounted a legal challenge in early October based on a historic-preservation argument. The suit refers to a 1986 law establishing criteria for decisions made by the Secretary of the Interior and other agencies, among them the requirement that plans for new historical monuments must "protect, to the maximum extent practicable, open space and existing public use." Open space for public use–where Americans can gather by the hundreds of thousands to address their government–is precisely what this monstrosity will destroy.

I originally published the story below on October 19, 2013. Wei Koh from Revolution Magazine just published an amazing story about Hammer, which I very, very, very highly recommend you read if you are interested in understanding what makes Panerai tick.
Hammer (Alan) mentioned to me, in a personal conversation, that after spending some personal time with Angelo Bonati, he was in awe. Hammer said "Angelo Bonati is really the most amazing man I've ever met. To be able to achieve so much and keep going so strong for 2 decades? He's truly a champion!"
The above mentioned Panerai brotherhood story is an incredibly inspirational story, while being extremely heartwarming, as well as offering tremendous insight into the spiritual power of humanity, and I hope as we all begin this new year, it inspires you as deeply as it inspired me. Happy 2014 to Hammer, and all my fellow Paneristi readers!!! It's going to be a great ride!!!!
Two of the worlds Panerai's greatest experts met in person for the first time on October 4th in Singapore, right before a huge Singaporean GTG. This first photo appears courtesey of Revolution Magazine, and it features Angelo Bonati, CEO of Panerai, pictured on the left, with leading Panerai Collector, Alan Bloore, best known by his online handle of HAMMER. Angelo Bonati and HAMMER have corresponded over the internet for the last decade and a half, and they just met in person for the first time.
Note: If you look closely, you can see that Mr. Bonati and HAMMER are both wearing Historic Radiomir Panerai 1940 cases. It appears Mr. Bonati is wearing the PAM 514 and HAMMER is wearing a PAM 532. It appears that Panerai is really focusing energy on models with the 1940 Historic case, which is awesome in my opinion. Why? The 1940 Historic case is based on the vintage Panerai Radiomir Reference 6154, which has the most beautiful watch case/body ever made.
Yeu Huan took this next photo of HAMMER and Mr. Bonati discussing a Panerai watch. HAMMER is a complete, dyed-in-the-wool, knock-down, drag-out Panerai FANATIC of the highest order. He has one of the most amazing vintage and Panerai watch collections on earth, and owns what is likely the most beautiful vintage Panerai watch ever made, which is a Reference 6154, Small Egiziano.
HAMMER's heartwarming Panerai story is like no other. He was originally a big Rolex collector, and still is, but when he discovered vintage Panerai watches, he fell madly in love with the brand, and was mesmerized by their timeless masculine design and stunning beauty.
HAMMER was in a serious Jet Skiing accident in 2006, which caused him to be paralyzed from the chest down. HAMMER said that Panerai saved his life, and gave him a reason to live after he had almost given up on life after his terrible accident. He said his great fellow Paneristi pals gave him so much love and caring that they inspired him to want to live and heal, and be the best he could be. The image above appears courtesy of Revolution Magazine, and they have a great article with more detail and photos on their website.
Angelo Bonati, on behalf of the entire Panerai community gave his pal HAMMER a gift of a very special Panerai "0000" prototype, of the all new PAM00532, which features the "PANERISTI FOREVER" designation on the back.
Volker Wiegmann is great pals with Hammer, and he was on hand to take the amazing shot below that compares HAMMER's new PAM 532 with an HAMMER's vintage Reference 6154, and it is remarkable how great and similar side-by-side.
Volker Wiegmann is from Austria and Hammer is from Australia, and they are pictured below, and as I mentioned, they are great pals. Volker is another absolute Panerai fanatic and leading world expert on Vintage Panerai. Volker and his research partner, Ralf Ehlers have written several amazing vintage Panerai books, which you can find at www.VintagePanerai.com.

(-) Darters and sculpins
Sunfish, bass, large perches, trout
(-) Brown
3 inches or less
6-12 inches
Prairie rivers and streams
(-) Reservoirs and lakes
Etheostoma, Percina, Ammocrypta, and Crystallaria spp.
Darters have been described as the hummingbirds of the fish world: colorful, small, and quick. Missouri has about 44 different types of darters. They are most diverse in the fast, clear, rocky streams of the Ozarks.
Logperch
Percina caprodes
The logperch occurs in small- to medium-sized rivers and along gravel shorelines in reservoirs. Our largest darter has a distinctly conical snout that overhangs the mouth, and 15 to 20 vertical dark bars on a light background.
Longnose Darter
Percina nasuta
The longnose darter is slender, with a series of 10 to 15 small, indistinct, dark blotches or bars along the midside. It is endangered in Missouri, today known only from the St. Francis River and Lake Wappapello. Historically, it occurred in the White River.
Sander vitreus
MDC has been stocking walleye, a popular game fish, in lakes and reservoirs including Stockton, Lake of the Ozarks, Bull Shoals, and numerous other reservoirs.
Three-Toed Amphiuma
Amphiuma tridactylum
The three-toed amphiuma is an eel-like, completely aquatic salamander. It has very small fore- and hind limbs, each with three very small toes. In Missouri it's found only in the Bootheel region.
Western Lesser Siren
Siren intermedia nettingi
The western lesser siren is an eel-like, aquatic salamander with external gills, small eyes, small forelimbs with four toes, and no hind limbs. In Missouri, it's found mostly in the Bootheel and northward near the Mississippi River.
About Fishes in Missouri
Missouri has more than 200 kinds of fish, more than are found in most neighboring states. Fishes live in water, breathe with gills, and have fins instead of legs. Most are covered with scales. Most fish in Missouri "look" like fish and could never be confused with anything else. True, lampreys and eels have snakelike bodies — but they also have fins and smooth, slimy skin, which snakes do not.

can anyone please tell why i am facing this . i pasted this code from http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/flow_interview_class.htm

A: The line in the example code: public Flow.Interview.doubler myFlow {get; set;} needs to be modified with the unique name of your flow. doubler is the name of the flow which is used in the example.
For instance if you created a flow called ModemTroubleShooting in your code you would reference it as:
public Flow.Interview.ModemTroubleShooting myFlow {get; set;}

and
myFlow = new Flow.Interview.ModemTroubleshooting(myMap);

Trump Fed chief candidates say ambitious growth targets can be met
Hoover Institution paper says 3% GDP target can be met
Kevin Warsh (left) and Glenn Hubbard are possible candidates to lead the Federal Reserve.
It looks like the starting gun has been sounded on the race to become the next chair of the Federal Reserve, with three leading candidates co-authoring an article that says the Trump administration's economic ambitions are achievable.
John Cogan, Glenn Hubbard, John Taylor and Kevin Warsh combined on a paper for the conservative Hoover Institution "on the prospects for higher economic growth." Hubbard — dean of Columbia University's business school and Mitt Romney's former chief economic adviser; Taylor — the Stanford University professor who was a former undersecretary at the Treasury Department; and Warsh — a former governor at the Fed — are all considering possible candidates to lead the Fed.
Gary Cohn, the director of the National Economic Council, is both leading the Fed search and a top contender to replace the current chief, Janet Yellen, according to published reports. Yellen's term expires in February.
In the Hoover paper, the authors say the nation's economic policies are the primary cause of both the productivity slowdown and what they call "the poorly performing labor market." High taxes — particularly on businesses — costly regulations, debt-financed government spending and "the lack of a clear monetary strategy" have weighed on both business investment as well the supply and demand for labor.
The authors say the Trump administration's tax reform plans would raise both productivity and employment.
"These needed reforms would help turn the recent upswing in animal spirits into a significant improvement in economic activity by resetting long-term higher economic growth expectations," the authors say.
Regulatory reform would also boost net returns to investment as well as reduce barriers to employment, they say.
Slowing entitlement spending to the rate of inflation plus population growth would free up resources for more private-sector investments, they added.
Doing all that could lead to an economy capable of 3% annual GDP growth, compared with the 1.8% the Congressional Budget Office forecasts, they added. They attribute 0.7 percentage points of the difference to better labor productivity as well as a 0.5 point from an assumption the labor-force participation rate will remain constant instead of declining.
Yellen, in testimony to Congress last week, called the 3% growth target "challenging" to meet.
The benefits of the landmark small-business relief program designed at the height of the pandemic mostly went to business owners rather than its employees, a study from leading economists finds.

The Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was formed on 1st November 2020 by Bishop Paul Swarbrick, Bishop of Lancaster. Our parish is the most northerly parish within the Diocese of Lancaster and brought together the former parishes of Our Lady of Eden, Cumbrian Martyrs, Sacred Heart of Jesus and St Augustine. Now together as one parish community we journey together to know, love and serve the Living Lord Jesus.
Our parish is made up of six churches where our community worships, prays, is formed and sent for mission. The six churches are Our Lady & St Wilfrid, Our Lady & St Joseph, St Bede, St Margaret Mary, Christ the King and St Augustine.
Our parish sustains the Catholic community of Carlisle and the surrounding towns and villages in their lives of faith. Our churches remain places where we can all come and encounter the Living Lord Jesus, where we can come and be encouraged and built up to be bearers of the Gospel to those around us.
Our parish is served by three priests: Canon Luiz Ruscillo, Fr Paul Harrison and Fr Oliver Siandele and assisted by Deacon Bill Kirkley. The Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Mary continue to reside at St Gabriel's Convent on Victoria Place.
Within our parish there are three Catholic Primary Schools: St Bede, St Cuthbert and St Margaret Mary and a Catholic High School, St John Henry Newman. The Cumberland Infirmary, Brampton Cottage Hospital, Eden Valley Hospice, Carleton Clinic and the various Care Homes are routinely visited by priests and parishioners, to bring the Sacraments and Christian fraternity to those who are sick and in need.
We invite and encourage you to explore, discover and visit our Parish.

A group of four teachers from Collier County have been selected to take part in a Turkish Study Tour this summer.
On Sunday, the group will depart southwest Florida bound for Turkey. The trip, co-sponsored by the Naples Council of World Affairs and the Turkish Cultural Foundation, will give teachers the opportunity to learn about Turkish music and cuisine, the arts of paper marbling, Ebru, and world-famous tile making at the Iznik Foundation.
A total of 84 educators from 21 U.S. cities have been selected to visit Turkey. Divided into three groups, the teachers will visit a variety of Turkish public and private schools while traveling to the cities of Istanbul, Bursa, Edirne, Ephesus, Sivas, Konya, Cappadocia and Ankara, as well as other cities and sites.
