To say that the Syrian Civil War has changed the fabric of the greater Aleppo metro area would be an understatement, yet one aspect of it that should receive more attention is the growing influence and evolving status of Aleppo’s Palestinians within Syrian loyalist society. Granted, Russian influence over the Liwa al Quds militia from Aleppo became the subject of discussion in 20161.“Russian influence evident in Palestinian militia in Syria” : Long War Journal after its role in combat operations in East Aleppo. But because of the way Syrian loyalist society is structured, battlefield success alone is no guarantee for networks and communities to be elevated within Syrian society. For example, despite successfully holding their areas at the front line with Idlib, the Hama National Defence Forces (NDF) remain relatively unknown, for now. By comparison, the Qomhana–based Tiger Forces, another group whose home community was almost completely overrun in the last major Hama offensive, remain well regarded.
Unlike other groups similar to the Hama based NDF previously mentioned, Palestinian armed groups have generally seen a rise in visibility and standing. Part of this is due to their larger size and willingness to deploy hundreds of kilometres away from their core areas to places like the deserts of Eastern Syria2.Photo of Liwa al Quds fighters in Deir ez-Zor : Liwa al Quds Facebook page. The Palestine Liberation Army (PLA), supported by Russian advisers, has deployed sizeable units under the command of its flag rank officers to Eastern Hama away from Palestinian communities 3.https://goo.gl/uWnQ1Ato fight against the local Islamic State (IS) pocket. The PLA as an organisation dates back to the formation of the armed wing of the PLO in 1964. In Syria, the PLA is made up of several units including numbered battalions and what are called recon forces. While this Syrian branch of the PLA still wear uniforms sporting distinct Palestinian insignia, they were considered even before the war as tied to the Syrian Arab Army and have remained so. 4. https://scontent.fsof2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/23737613_162076034391851_770590076091395954_o.jpg?oh=e5a2c77ee1d80fd38d3519f2fe6c4fd4&oe=5AF6A8CA 5. https://scontent.fsof2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/23621289_162076067725181_7724472441781090747_n.jpg?oh=c853b98772199392a00c3534694c752e&oe=5AF3DC7C As part of this deployment, significant efforts were made to further cement links between Damascus and the pro-Assad Palestinian groups. Russia has also spent some effort on fostering links with the Palestinian militias, as evidenced by Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov’s visit6.facebook.com/…6655437528/1471995352881317 : Liwa al Quds Facebook page to the commander of the Liwa al Quds. Something better-informed readers will take note of is that the two are accompanied by the local intelligence branch’s Brigadier General, whose presence suggests that the event is significant to a lot more of the local of the factions and organisations in both Aleppo and Syria as a whole. The intelligence branches themselves to this day retain a considerable if subtle and at times almost completely ignored influence within Syria and the communities they oversee. Due to its status, the Palestine Liberation Army and its high command also gets airtime via interviews and reports about it on Syrian state TV, and of late this has been supplemented with better weaponry for their units.
One of the most important benefits that helped elevate the Palestinians of Syria was a pre-existing one whose prominence grew as the war progressed. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) assistance program, which has been ongoing for over 50 years, spent in 2016 a total of 1.36 billion USD based on their yearly financial overview of unaudited operational spending data.18.https://www.unrwa.org/sites/default/files/content/resources/2016_annual_operational_report_web.pdf : UNRWA Funding for Syria fell short of their targets, at 235 million USD being provided by donors out of a program-mandated 414 million. While the sum is not overtly large, given the scale of the overall economic downturn brought on by the war that is now in its 7th year, even this amount is considerable for Syria.
Al – Nairab Camp News throughout the area as well as schools23.https://www.facebook.com/narab.sy1/posts/868678693294503 : Al – Nairab Camp News and clinics run24.https://www.unrwa.org/where-we-work/syria/neirab-camp : UNRWA whose operational expenses are covered by the UNRWA program.
This has to be compared with the bleak career opportunities for Syrians in Aleppo, as the city remains largely without power25.https://www.nfac-sy.net/news/19125 and its sugar and textile industries that provided for it pre-war are now facing trouble even getting off the ground again. And in comparison the base income for registered Palestinians from UNRWA adds a considerable boost to their income to the point it’s somewhat comparable to Syrian state wages. Incentives also exist for Assad’s financial sector to help facilitate the agency’s disbursement of funds as the UNRWA program has no other choice but to buy SYP from the State as there are not a lot of entities with access to SYP in such quantities and it needs access to bank branches in Syria to reach recipients which again leads to pro-Assad entities as the financial sector remains under Damascus’ control. In essence, the financial aid that is paid out to registered Palestinians in Syria is a net USD surplus to Assad’s FX reserves due to the state-dominated banking system. A simple way to understand why this influx of foreign currency is important is to look at the goods that Syria is currently forced to import that include wheat, oil and even gas at times 26.http://alwatan.sy/archives/88898 but at the same time it no longer has products it can reliably export besides niche food items for expats living in Germany or other European countries.27.http://uk.businessinsider.com/r-made-in-syria-refugees-in-germany-drive-exports-from-home-2017-11 So that foreign currency coming into Syrian banks can be bought by the state using SYP and then be used to pay for these key imports. To dismiss allegations of pure favouritism on behalf of the agency, it must also be pointed out that this is a long-running program that had the same tasks of providing assistance, education and combating poverty in the Palestinian camps throughout the region, not just Syria. That being said, it also has to be understood that the program is quite open about its cooperation with Damascus. While it is a program that provides aid to struggling Palestinian communities to do so also means that it works within their established political networks and political alliances in the various countries — which in a conflict like Syria, has greater implications.
As the war progresses, Western Aleppo’s prospects continue to fall short of Damascus’ promises, as can be seen from testimonials on the prices for using amps, this refers to power generators that people pay to provide their homes with electricity.28.https://www.facebook.com/AleppoNews.sy3/posts/1738741409753278 : Aleppo News However, the Palestinian minority in the eastern outskirts of the city appear to be gaining ground through a combination of military contributions, establishing liaison links with Russia and with the assistance provided by existing aid programs that now offer a substitute for the salaries and services that Damascus is struggling to provide. In some ways, the Palestinian community in Eastern Aleppo has grown into a state within the state; a city-state entity that seems more prosperous than its surroundings and cannot be easily dismantled, but also one that still needs the expanded infrastructure of Syria which remains under the control of Assad and his Baath-dominated state institutions.

“Black hat” is a big buzzword in search engine optimization. Let’s look into this term and how it applies to content writing: Black hat SEO refers to aggressive manipulation of search engine and SEO guidelines in order to improve a website’s search engine rankings. Such an SEO approach often prioritizes a website’s search rankings over user experience and exclusively has short-term goals for websites. Those practicing black hat SEO are likely in it for a quick buck without any thought for long-term consequences. Google and other search engines regularly hand down severe search ranking punishments to black-hat companies and websites. The topic of black hat SEO cannot be done justice in one short article. For now, the focus will be on black hat practices in content writing. For everyone fighting the good, white-hat fight, here are some bad practices to avoid: –Duplicate Content Writing. Many new content writers enter the field directly out of college. These writers are wary of the prospect of plagiarism when writing articles—and they should be.
It is one thing to cite sources when writing content. Many content writers find it unthinkable to write an article without sources! But honest, white-hat content writers know that passing off someone else’s content writing, research, or journalism as one’s own original information is a black-hat practice that can land a writer and a website in hot water. –Keyword Stuffing. This is exactly what it sounds like: cramming an SEO article with excessive keywords. Keywords, of course, are search terms that websites are vying for—for instance, a company that sells all types of board games will likely be interested in keywords like “monopoly game” or “where to buy monopoly.” In the past, some search engines didn’t mind content articles that were essentially glorified lists of keywords. Sentences were at times disrupted by an unnecessary insertion of a keyword. But search engines are constantly adapting to prioritize user experience, and since nobody enjoys reading blocks of keywords, content articles now need to prioritize good writing! Websites are sometimes penalized for obvious keyword stuffing.
-“Quantity over Quality” Content Writing. Most content writers do not set out to write the Great American Content Article twelve times a day. Everyone in the field has rushed to crank out an article here and there. But the practice of releasing diluted, copy-pasted caricatures of actual articles is strictly black hat. Taking bits of information from a few places and tossing it together is an example of a black hat writing practice. Bloating an article’s word count with unneeded and nonsensical words is another. Don’t do these things! Penalties for black hat SEO can be severe, so stay on the right side of SEO ethics. Write the white-hat way to produce better content and avoid any trouble!

We hadn’t planned to visit Tallinn by foot but as the van had run into some major mechanical issues we ended up being in Helsinki for 10 days. After seeing all the sights and the van still not being ready, it seemed like something was luring us to Estonia, especially when we saw that the Eckero Line ferry were offering a special sale to spend a day in Tallinn.
After booking the crossing, we woke up early the next day for our mini holiday adventure and headed to Helsinki West Terminal to make the two hour fifteen minute crossing to Tallinn. The ferry is known as a booze cruise and we could see why. People were going crazy for the cheaper drink prices and every beer came with a shot!
Arriving into the Port of Tallinn at 9.30am, we set off to the Old Town, a UNESCO world heritage site only a 10 minute walk away. We entered past Fat Margaret’s tower (we aren’t sure why it’s nicknamed this!) and the cobbled streets. Instantly we could feel a difference from the Scandinavian countries, there were lots of muted orange and yellow tone buildings and a real buzz in the atmosphere. We later found out that Real Madrid were playing Atheltico Madrid that evening in Tallinn which could explain just why it was so busy.
As we had limited time, we decided to see as many sights as possible. After a quick panini and coffee off Town Hall Square we meandered to the Tallinn City Museum, which was informative. Mooching towards St Olav’s Church we stumbled across a free medieval walking tour #talesoftallinn which we decided to join. It was the best walking tour we’ve been on, the two guides were so enthusiastic and full of interesting facts about the gothic architecture and what happened during medieval times in this area. We laughed a lot and followed the tour round to the end, the sites we visited after St Olav included the House of the Blackheads and the figure of Old Thomas, placed on top of the Town Hall spire.
Lunch consisted of a dish called “Grandma’s Stew” and a couple of beers, we were disappointed by our lunch choice, we really wanted to experience typical Estonian food, whilst the food was tasty, it was a tiny portion and the service wasn’t great.
Once refuelled, we decided we wanted to see more of the Old Town and there definitely isn’t a lack of sights to see! We ventured up the hill to the church of Alexander Nevsky which is a grand church that has a different style to the rest of the sights here. A trip to a city for us wouldn’t have been complete without us climbing to a nice view and we had read that the best one was from the top of St Olav’s. It was with the €2 and 232 steps to the observation area, we were rewarded with a beautiful view over The Old Town and the terracotta roofs and colourful buildings. It was interesting to see the Kuldjala tower and walls that were built in the medieval times to protect the town.
With time drawing on it was time for us to make our way back to the ferry, in all we rather enjoyed our day in Tallinn, it had a lovely charm and fabulous sights to see.

Researchers have identified a genetic mutation responsible for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in Central Asian Shepherd dogs.
In Central Asian Shepherd (CAS) dogs, a pathological variant of the COL7A1 gene causes a rare and serious skin disease called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), according to a study recently published in PLoS One.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare, heritable skin disease affecting humans, dogs, and other species. It is characterized by cleavage at the dermo-epidermal junction, leading to fragility of the skin and mucus membranes, blisters, and skin erosions. EB has several subtypes, such as RDEB, differentiated by level of cleavage at the junction (eg, within the lamina lucida, below the lamina densa).
To date, 4 of the 19 recessive or dominant EB genes identified in humans—including COL7A1, which codes for the protein regulating collagen VII assembly—are reportedly associated with canine EB. Mutations of these 19 genes disrupt normal development of basement membrane structural proteins. Previous studies have reported COL7A1 mutations in human dystrophic EB. The current study reported the cases of 2 CAS puppies with severe RDEB.
From a litter of 8 CAS puppies born to healthy parents, 2 littermates presented with severe skin and oral mucosa lesions soon after birth. The puppies were euthanized due to poor prognosis and were then necropsied.
Following necropsy, samples were processed for histological examination. All samples were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Skin samples underwent periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining to identify dermo-epidermal cleavage. To detect basement membrane collagen VII, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed with a COL7A1 antibody on skin samples from the affected CAS puppies and age-matched puppies from different breeds (‘control’ puppies) that had died of other causes.
Whole genome sequencing was performed on 1 of the affected CAS puppies. Also, blood samples were collected from the affected puppies’ healthy littermates and parents, as well as other non-EB CAS dogs.
Other sampled tissues (internal organs and brain) did not demonstrate EB-related pathologic changes.
Whole genome sequencing identified a COL7A1 variant in one of the affected CAS puppies. This variant resulted in a premature stop codon in the gene, likely leading to production of non-functional COL7A1 protein and a subsequent lack of collagen VII assembly in the basement membrane.
Because the puppies’ parents were healthy, researchers suspected a recessive mode of disease inheritance. To confirm this suspicion, they genotyped the COL7A1 variant in the other affected puppy, along with the puppies’ parents, healthy littermates, and other non-EB CAS dogs. Genotyping results demonstrated that the parents and healthy littermates were heterozygous carriers and the 2 affected puppies were homozygous recessive for the COL7A1 mutation.
Although no treatment exists for EB, researchers believe that gene therapy to restore epithelial collagen VII production is a potential treatment option for RDEB.

CAJUN CAVIAR is owned and operated by the wives of three renowned chefs, with one of the trio being a chef herself. Their shared love for fine foods and the South makes CAJun Caviar a natural fit for these three friends.
Alden Lagasse is a quintessential southern lady. She is a native of Mississippi, being born and reared on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, with family connections throughout the state, from the Gulf Coast to the Mississippi Delta.
It is serendipitous that Alden Lovelace met Emeril Lagasse in New Orleans, one of the world’s greatest food cities! Alden and Emeril married in New Orleans in 2000, and together with their zest for life, their adventure of food and wine began. Having grown up in the South, Alden has always had an instinctive passion for hospitality and entertaining. She considers this heritage a great foundation that has enhanced her life as the wife of a renowned, celebrated chef, and as the mother of a bustling household.
Born in the town of Westbrook, Connecticut, Amy Hollister Wilson grew up surrounded by the culinary influences of her grandfather, mother and brother who all owned restaurants in the New England area. She graduated from Quinnipiac University with her Bachelors Degree in Marketing and a Masters of Business Administration. Since 2004 Amy has had a career in pharmaceutical sales.
Amy moved to New Orleans after meeting Chef Chris Wilson, Culinary Director at Emeril’s Homebase. They married in 2012 and now have two children together. Amy is also the proud step-mother of Chris' 11-year-old son. In 2016, Amy decided to use her sales and business experience, as well as her passion for fine foods and champagne, to leave her mark on the culinary world by joining the Cajun Caviar trio.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Chef Alison Vega-Knoll was naturally drawn to cooking from a young age, when her French grandmother taught her to appreciate the art of blending traditional French cooking with the rich, Creole flavors of the Crescent City. As her palate matured Alison gained an appreciation for Mediterranean flavors, marrying them with Louisiana’s indigenous foods, including soft shell crabs, crawfish, shrimp, Gulf fish and regional sausages. Alison’s culinary skills have won her much acclaim in New Orleans, where she owned and operated Vegas Tapas Café, and also on the Caribbean island of Antigua, where she founded The Larder.
Returning to New Orleans was a natural choice for Alison and her husband Drew. Both wanted to be close to family and they felt the tug of the New Orleans culinary industry. Opening Station 6, an amalgamation of both family and favorite New Orleans recipes, Alison and Drew have achieved a lifelong dream of raising a family in New Orleans while sharing their passion for food.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to a new and different sun.
If you follow my posts, you know that seeing the sun rise every morning at the back of my home completely energizes me. I am completely inspired by the rising sun. I can not recall a day at home where I have missed the sun rise. The entire living space in my home is made of all glass. The rear of the home faces due east and the front of the homes faces due west.
As soon as the sun starts to rise, it first shows it's warm rays of light on Coffeepot Rock, I can see the reverse sunrise in the west as the shadows disappear off Coffeepot Rock. All I have to do is turn my head to see the actual rising sun and capture that moment in time. It makes me feel alive! Every day, I take a moment to reflect on my blessings and that is my inspiration to tackle the rest of the day.
My husband and myself have always loved the desert. Living close to the beach in SoCal, we had a lot of overcast days. When we went to the desert, whether it was Palm Springs or Lake Havasu we felt different. We realized we are "sun people".
Within the last two years, my husband found a prism from one of his old telescopes and decided to place it on the ledge to capture the rising sun. Because both of us watch the sun rise everyday, we watch the sun change position from north to south or south to north as the year moves on. This prism would help trace that route. Each day, a slight change is visible. Once the sun rises above the roof line, the prism effect disappears.
We fell in love with this home over 15 years ago after looking for homes for 3 years. I thought our REALTOR® was going to give up on us. But that is another story. Little did I realize this wonderful experience we would get everyday. The sun actually knocks on our door and let's us know, "I am here"!

What a great way to start each day, Sheri. And your pictures/videos never disappoint!
I love your entry and the quote is perfect illustration your inspiration! The video is spectacular like always! Merry Christmas!
Sheri, your sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous, especially with your backgrounds!
I like that picture with the prism of light. In my own house Ihave crystals that hang in the window of my dining bay. They throw rainbows all over my kitchen, dining, and living room floors. Also, I have a hallway, which acts as a portal for sunlight between the dates of Decemeber 19th and December 27th each year. It reminds me a little of Stonehenge!
I woke up at 2AM this morning, as my wife was just going to bed. I'm thrilled to watch the sunrise. It has been awhile since my wife has seen one.
I love your quote selection and your video.
You are lucky to live and work in such a beautiful area.
As if just living in Sedona wouldn't be enough, it sounds like your perfect home was worth waiting for... the perfect design and orientation to watch the sunrise and sunset every day! It's so interesting that you can follow the daily shift of the suns path with the prism. Thanks so much for your post Sheri. Merry Christmas Eve!
I don't mind the cold of the North Dakota climate Sheri Sperry - MCNE® because we too have a lot of sunlight. On those rare occassions that we have 3 or more overcast days I do find it depressing so like yourself I too am inspired by the sun.
Sheri, what a fabulous story you shared with us. Your sunrises and sunsets are incredible. It was well worth the wait to find the perfect home! Have a very Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Sheri! I have seen your love for sunrises in your posts! It's like taking a big healthy vitamin every day!
I wanted to stop by this morning, Sheri, to wish you and your family the Merriest of Christmases. May your day be filled with bright blessings!
I imagine this is energizing - and relaxing - and I love the prism. Great idea. We stayed with Ron and Alexandra Seigel at a home in Glen Ellen, CA that had the same - sunrises from the back - sunsets from the front and plenty of glass to enjoy both. It was quite spectacular and there was about an hour a day when you could see both the sun rising and the moon setting. Magical moments.

text: We examined the effect of biochar on the water-soluble arsenic (As) concentration and the extent of organochlorine degradation in a co-contaminated historic sheep-dip soil during a 180-d glasshouse incubation experiment. Soil microbial activity, bacterial community and structure diversity were also investigated. Biochar made from willow feedstock (Salix sp) was pyrolysed at 350 or 550°C and added to soil at rates of 10 g kg-1 and 20 g kg-1 (representing 30 t ha-1 and 60 t ha-1). The isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) alpha-HCH and gamma-HCH (lindane), underwent 10-fold and 4-fold reductions in concentration as a function of biochar treatment. Biochar also resulted in a significant reduction in soil DDT levels (P < 0.01), and increased the DDE:DDT ratio. Soil microbial activity was significantly increased (P < 0.01) under all biochar treatments after 60 days of treatment compared to the control. 16S amplicon sequencing revealed that biochar-amended soil contained more members of the Chryseobacterium, Flavobacterium, Dyadobacter and Pseudomonadaceae which are known bioremediators of hydrocarbons. We hypothesise that a recorded short-term reduction in the soluble As concentration due to biochar amendment allowed native soil microbial communities to overcome As-related stress. We propose that increased microbiological activity (dehydrogenase activity) due to biochar amendment was responsible for enhanced degradation of organochlorines in the soil. Biochar therefore partially overcame the co-contaminant effect of As, allowing for enhanced natural attenuation of organochlorines in soil.

Not surprisingly, due its popularity and great reputation, champagne is considered to be a popular gift for the holiday seasons—Christmas, in particular, but also Valentine’s Day and New Year’s presents. But does champagne really make a good gift, for the holidays or otherwise?

Johannesburg – Political parties contesting this year’s general elections will on Wednesday sign the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) code of conduct.
”The ceremony is in compliance with the Electoral Act which requires contesting political parties for the 2019 national and provincial elections to publicly commit to upholding the provisions and the purpose of the code of conduct,” the IEC said in a statement.
South Africans will head to the polls on May 8 and the electoral commission says there are 262 registered parties in its books.
The final list of parties fulfilling requirements to contest the elections will be made public after the signing ceremony.
These include paying a R200 000 deposit to contest national elections and R45 000 for each provincial election contested and the submission of candidate lists. Parties receive their deposits back if they win a seat in the national assembly or the provincial legislature. Any money from deposits forfeited accrues to the National Revenue Fund.
The IEC received a record 30 532 applications from South Africans living abroad to cast their vote at the country’s 121 foreign missions. At least 29 334 were approved and the expatriates will cast their ballots on April 27.

Is This What We Want From Our State?
Where are our priorities, Iowa?
Two news stories that grabbed the headlines in Iowa last week leave me shaking my head and asking, is this really what we want from our state government?
The first was news that the Iowa Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman has eliminated virtually all travel by its employees to nursing homes and assisted living centers across the state.
The reason given was deep budget cuts forced on the agency by the Iowa Legislature this year. The agency operates on a state budget of $1.3 million, plus $400,000 from the federal government. Lawmakers cut the budget by about $500,000.
The agency responded by eliminating travel, the biggest expense after salaries. Last fiscal year, employees made 5,000 visits to Iowa care facilities. This fiscal year, which began July 1, those visits won’t be made.
The ombudsman’s staff won’t be meeting with residents of care centers and talking with their relatives. The ombudsman’s staff won’t be able to investigate complaints of abuse or neglect of these seniors in person. They won’t be able to provide training to workers in the care centers.
A friend of mine, John Hale, is an advocate for senior citizens. His reaction to the budget cuts was blistering.
“The Iowans charged with protecting the health, safety and rights of residents in Iowa nursing homes can no longer go to these places in person to thoroughly investigate complaints and fully advocate for residents,” Hale told the Des Moines Register.
Iowans should be furious about this, too. Our state has one of the highest percentages of senior citizens. The 53,000 people who live in care centers are our parents, our aunts and uncles, our grandparents, and family friends.
Even before the ombudsman’s budget was gutted, Iowa ranked last among the states in the percentage of nursing homes the ombudsman’s staff visited each quarter. Just 12 percent of nursing homes received a visit. Embarrassingly, the national average was 67 percent.
This isn’t the only area of the state budget affecting vulnerable Iowans that suffered massive cuts from the Legislature this year.
Funding was eliminated for public health programs for people diagnosed with epilepsy and for children with autism. Money was eliminated for programs that provided vision screenings in our schools and hearing aids for children (unlike many states, Iowa does not require health insurers to cover these costs).
He is correct. State government has the money. The issue is how officials have chosen to use that money.
Through actions by the Legislature, the state has 373 different tax credits, tax exemptions, deductions and exclusions that help businesses and people reduce their tax bills. Those have drained $12 billion in potential state revenue each year from Iowa’s $7 billion state budget.
We saw an example of one of those ways last week.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority and city of Waukee provided $213 million in tax incentives to Apple Inc., the giant electronics company, in return for building a computer data center in the Des Moines suburb.
These incentives have become just another form of welfare — corporate welfare. But instead of going to businesses that need help, Iowa hands out these freebies to companies that are fully capable of paying their own way.
The company has annual revenues of about $220 billion. Iowa’s state government, on the other hand, collects about $9 billion per year.
And while the state scrambled to chop millions of dollars from the budget to finish the 2015-16 fiscal year in the black, Apple is setting on a savings account that totals about $250 billion.
That means you could operate Iowa state government for 35 years just with the money Apple has on hand today.
The data center will cost $1.4 billion to build and equip. Fifty people will work there and will make an average of $29 per hour. Fifty jobs. The typical Hy-Vee supermarket employs that many people full-time.
Many Iowa businesses must pay the state’s 6 percent sales tax whenever they buy a computer. Apple won’t have to pay sales tax on thousands of computer servers that will fill its data center.
That one gift alone will save Apple $36 million.
But that $36 million in lost state tax revenue is one reason there won’t be representatives from the long-term care ombudsman visiting nursing homes and other care centers in Iowa this year.
But the governor, like her predecessors, both Ds and Rs, fails to acknowledge what the chairman of the Iowa House Appropriations Committee knows to be true. Representative Pat Grassley, a Republican, said lawmakers need to revisit these tax credits and other tax carve-outs because they are eating away at the state’s tax revenues.
These handouts to some of the biggest and wealthiest corporations are preventing the state from looking out for some of the neediest and most vulnerable people in our state.
I hope that’s not the priority Iowans want.
This IowaWatch Connection podcast examines Iowa’s tax breaks for new businesses after a recent deal to bring a new Apple Inc. center to Waukee. Good deal or not?

Writer wants to be clear that taxpayers will not be asked to pay for rodeo relocation.
I would like to clear up a few misconceptions that I heard at the Community Hall meeting on Thursday evening.
First of all, thank you to all of the Ashcroft citizens who turned out to voice their opinions regarding the Ashcroft Rodeo relocation. I heard several comments from people who were concerned that the Ashcroft Rodeo would be a burden on the taxpayers. The Ashcroft Rodeo has always been self-sufficient. We have applied for provincial and federal grant money whenever we have had a large expense to cover, and we run each year’s rodeo from the funds that we collect from the previous year’s rodeo. We have funds to cover the move of the rodeo grounds already.
It was heartwarming to hear that the majority of people at the meeting do not want to lose the Ashcroft Rodeo. Everyone must realize that to keep our rodeo, it must go to where there is an available space. As I pointed out in my address, the Ashcroft Rodeo Assn. will do all that we can to keep the rodeo grounds pleasing to the eye, and in tune with the surroundings, wherever it would be placed.
Now we all will have to wait to see what Village Council can come up with.
On behalf of the Ashcroft Rodeo Assn.

It’s official. Petersburg is now a borough.
The state’s Division of Elections certified the town’s borough vote Thursday January 3rd and the final results did not changed from the initial counts in December. The final tally is 782 votes in favor and 600 opposed.
The certification marks the official beginning of the Petersburg borough, a new municipality encompassing 3,829 square miles of land and water in central Southeast Alaska.
Brent Williams, a local government specialist with the state’s Local Boundary Commission, said all the requirements have been met. “The city of Petersburg is dissolved and the borough is formed. There’s no other announcement. The two things that were required have been done,” Williams said, noting those last two requirements were approval by the voters and by the federal government. “The Department of Justice had to notify us that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has been complied with and we received such a letter. The second thing is that certification had to be approved of the legally required voter approval of the commission’s final decision from the director of elections and we did receive notification from elections that the results have been certified,” Williams said.
The Local Boundary Commission decided last summer that’s Petersburg petition for a new borough met state standards, although the commission approved a different northern boundary than originally sought by Petersburg. The city and borough of Juneau submitted a petition seeking to annex some of the territory on the northern end of Petersburg’s proposed borough and has appealed the boundary commission’s decision in court. That case is still pending.
Meanwhile, Petersburg becomes the 19th organized borough in the state of Alaska. And the first meeting of the Petersburg Borough Assembly is this Monday, January 7 at 7:00 p.m.

By Caleb Loehrer The Garden Island | Monday, April 15, 2019, 12:05 a.m.
A Hawaii union representative was charged in federal court on Thursday with falsifying financial records to inflate his wages and embezzling $1,575 in union funds.
Charles Kimo Brown, 60, a resident of Mililani, Oahu, was indicted on two embezzlement counts and two counts of falsifying union documents. If convicted on all charges, Brown could face up to 12 years in prison.
According to the indictment, Brown worked as an executive officer from 2009 to 2014 with the Hawaii Longshore Division, a labor organization headquartered in Honolulu that represents about 1,000 dock workers throughout the state. As secretary-treasurer, Brown was responsible for maintaining all the union division’s records and correspondence and was charged with overseeing its financial matters.
Aside from his duties as union treasurer, Brown worked as a machine operator with a business the indictment refers to only as “Company A.” But because he “essentially worked full time for the union,” the longshore division compensated him at a rate equal to the amount Brown would have earned from his regular employer, according to the indictment.
The charges against Brown are based on wage voucher forms the indictment says “did not accurately reflect” Brown’s lost work hours based on records kept by his regular employer. Brown resigned from his position with the union shortly after submitting the allegedly fraudulent vouchers in April 2014.
This case is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S Attorney Rebecca A. Perlmutter for the district of Hawaii.

Mobile SD Sample Player FEATURES: Add mono or stereo samples via standard SD card (sold separately) 8 velocity-sensitive and pressure-sensitive pads USB MIDI plus standard MIDI inputs and outputs Also controls computer MIDI software and outboard MIDI gear Drag-and-drop sample kit editor for Mac® and PC included Built-in library of popular sounds and samples Includes additional free Akai Pro loop library download Tune, add reverb, and save sample sets for easy recall (2) Balanced 1/4-inch outputs (6.35mm) 1/8-inch headphone output (3.5mm) SPECS Audio Outputs: (2) TRS 1/4" (balanced), (1) 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone MIDI I/O: MIDI over USB, 5-Pin DIN via 1/8" (3.5mm) MIDI in and out (cable included) Pads: 8 velocity sensitive Sounds: 21 internal (virtually unlimited via sd card) Sounds Accessible via Pads: 8 Polyphony: 8-voice Panning: 9-position user programmable Other Features: Reverb and sample tune and 3 different trigger types. Power: Input 5VDC 1000mA via USB Weight: 1lb ( 0.45kg) Dimensions (W x D x H): 11.6" x 4" x 1.3"
What is the MPX8 Editor?
The MPX8 Editor can create, load, and save a.KIT file, which can be loaded to the MPX8 from an SD card. Each .KIT file represents each pad’s sample location, name, tuning, reverb level, trigger type, volume level, panning, and MIDI note number.
The MPX8 is connected to the computer, and the MPX8 Editor is launched. What do I do now?
The MPX8 and the MPX8 Editor do not communicate, and USB connection of the MPX8 will not affect how the MPX8 Editor works. Remember, the MPX8 Editor can create, load, and save .KIT files, which can be loaded to the MPX8 from the SD card inserted in the MPX8's SD card slot. USB connection of the MPX8 will allow you to play the MPX8, using MIDI, with a program of your choice (like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or MPC Software) or with an instrument plugin (like SONiVOX Vocalizer Pro or AIR Loom).
Does the MPX8 Editor read .KIT files directly from the MPX8?
No. A computer will not read files from an SD card inserted into the SD card slot on an MPX8. SD card directories can be managed by using a USB SD card reader or an available SD card reading port on a computer. The MPX8 Editor can create, save, and load .KIT files directly on an SD card.
How should .WAV and .KIT files be organized on the SD card used with the MPX8?
WAV files should be on the root level of the SD card. The root of a drive means the very first directory. .KIT files should only be in a folder titled "KITS", which exists on the root level of the SD card.
Can I convert audio files to .WAV format using the MPX8 Editor?
No. Sample files must be 16-bit, mono or stereo WAVs. They can have a sample rate of 48, 44.1, 32, 22.05, or 11.205 KHz.
I can't read the names of sample files on the MPX8 display because the sample name has too many characters.
The editor will display the full names of your sample files, so even if the file names are longer than eight characters, you'll still know exactly which samples you're loading onto each pad (if you want to rename the sample file so that it appears completely on the MPX8 display, just locate the sample file on the SD card, and rename the file manually).
Is there any setup needed to use the MPX8 Editor?
Prior to using the editor, insert the SD card into the MPX8’s SD card slot. This will create the KITS folder and create the first user kit on the card.
Why won’t the MPX8 load the samples in the Akai Loop Library?
Please update your MPX8 to firmware version [v1.0.01]. This free update is found in the Docs & Downloads tab on the product’s page. Release notes and instructions to load this new firmware to the MPX8 is included with the download.

Several studies have found this is effective against many of the over-growths of bacteria families seen in CFS, unfortunately it also impacts E.Coli which CFSers are low in. This herb was found to be as potent as ciprofloxacin, gentamycin, kanamycin, ofloxacin and cephalexin. This superior performance was reported in another study of 66 herbs. It has no adverse effects on the growth of the lactic acid-producing bacteria.
Personally, I found that it caused a significant cognitive improvement within days. I was doing a capsule of Mutaflor with it daily.
Haritaki is a rejuvenative, laxative (unripe), astringent (ripe), anthelmintic, nervine, expectorant, tonic, carminative, and appetite stimulant. It is used in people who have leprosy (including skin disorders), anemia, narcosis, piles, chronic, intermittent fever,heart disease, diarrhea, anorexia, cough and excessive secretion of mucus, and a range of other complaints and symptoms. According to the Bhavaprakasha, Haritaki was derived from a drop of nectar from Indra’s cup. Haritaki is used to mitigate Vata and eliminate ama (toxins), indicated by constipation, a thick greyish tongue coating, abdominal pain and distension, foul feces and breath, flatulence, weakness, and a slow pulse. The fresh fruit is dipana and the powdered dried fruit made into a paste and taken with jaggery is malashodhana, removing impurities and wastes from the body. Haritaki is an effective purgative when taken as a powder, but when the whole dried fruit is boiled the resulting decoction is grahi, useful in the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery. The fresh or reconstituted fruit taken before meals stimulates digestion, whereas if taken with meals it increases intelligence, nourishes the senses and purifies the digestive and genitourinary tract. Taken after meals Haritaki treats diseases caused by the aggravation of Vayu, Pitta and Kapha as a result of unwholesome food and drinks. Haritaki is a rasayana to Vata, increasing awareness, and has a nourishing, restorative effect on the central nervous system. Haritaki improves digestion, promotes the absorption of nutrients, and regulates colon function.

Welcome to Pizza D'Oro! You'll love this old-school Italian eatery with red-checkered tablecloths and cozy leather booths. It's so old-fashioned it even has a gumball machine.
Since 1978, Pizza D'Oro has been making some of the best and biggest pizzas in Southern California. That's over 40 years!
Known for their tasty pizza pies and huge portions, this is one SoCal eatery where you will not leave hungry.
With a pizza this big, you can order a half and half so that everyone in the group will have their favorite toppings.
When you're feeding a big crowd, you can order up to a 28-inch pizza. That will get you 54 pieces of pizza to savor. That sure is a whole lotta pizza!
In addition to giant pizza pies, you can also order pizza by the slice at Pizza D'Oro. Based on the looks of it, the size of this slice is quite large as well. This could be an entire meal!
If you're short on time you can always order a slice to go. Be prepared, as the slices are so big they almost don't fit in the box!
Or go ahead and add a hearty salad to your meal to get your daily veggies. The salads are almost as big as the pizzas and are loaded with all of your favorite fresh toppings.
More than just a pizzeria, you can also order all of your favorite Italian specialties. From spaghetti to garlic bread, and even a bottle of Chianti, this place has everything.
As if a big pizza wasn't enough, they also make novelty pizzas that will make quite a statement. Perhaps you'd like a heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day?
Or maybe you need a pizza that spells out a special message? We think this "I'm sorry" pizza is a great way to apologize.
With multiple locations in SoCal, you can get your pizza fix at Pizza D'oro anytime you like. Located in Costa Mesa at 1145 Baker St, Costa Mesa, CA 92626; In Huntington Beach at 5046, 8468 Indianapolis Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92646; In Fountain Valley at 10585 Slater Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708.

"Heiliges Herz" definitely takes no prisoners. This album is like a never ending fast track, a blind mania, a shot right through which makes no compromises.
Alexander Kaschte who best represents heinous lunacy in the German-speaking realm has once again managed to lead his aficionados to a frightening place where misanthropy, isolation and mere destructiveness prevail. However, this time the effect is not evoked by orchestral and electric sounds. "Heiliges Herz" is metaphorically dressed in an impenetrable garment made from black metal.
SAMSAS TRAUM - hitherto been without a drummer- now has a world famous musician in the ranks: Ex-CRADLE OF FILTH-drummer and AT THE GATES founding member ADRIAN ERLANDSSON. The famous Gothenburg STUDIO FREDMAN is responsible for the mix and FREDERIK NORDSTRÖM, who has successfully produced DIMMU BORGIR, DARK TRANQUILLITY, IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY and OPETH helped to make the bombastic and towering sound of "Heiliges Herz". The mastering was done by PETER IN DE BETOU in Stockholm’s mastering studio TAILORMAID (masterings for ENSLAVED, HYPOCRISY, KATATONIA, MARDUK, UNLEASHED and WATAIN) and guarantees that nothing is left to be desired on this album.

I’m leaving for Boston shortly in order to attend what promises to be a really interesting symposium organized by the Boston College Law Review on Owning Standards. I think that the conference organizers and moderators (Profs. Lawrence Cunningham, Joe Liu and Fred Yen) have done something very clever: they’ve identified an important but under-theorized topic and are focusing attention on it. Not only do I get to see a bunch of smart and nice folks, but I hope to learn a lot too. And the weather forecast says it will only be cold at night.

I am so glad that the study of standards has gone beyond IETF-swooning.

N+B Architectes have designed a new house located in Montferrier sur Lez, France.
Situated in a pine forest on a plot with a steep, the first job was the creation of an enabling environment for the establishment of a home. The slope is both the first constraint and the major asset of the place to embrace an open landscape on the horizon.
Two axes marked two choices in the site making : Firstly, the accompaniment of the slope, in order to work on the establishment of regular level. Like terraces in the landscape, a journey consisted by Corten steel sheets is created to accompany the arrival at home while building the landscape discovery. Then, the choice of the sequence was made.
Rather than revealing the entire surrounding landscape, the choice is made to develop, in the house, a scenario that consists several stories where each sequence present a new discovery. Three built undulating bodies take place in the slope and stretch as slender overhanging the landscape. Interconnected by a simple entity, new spaces are made possible by the establishment of protected terraces and outdoor spaces.
To enjoy the view without creating overheating effect, a specific work setting thickness of the ends is made. So at each end of the rolling bodies expansion of the facade is made, constitute and protected by large sun breezes that can be opened fully with a rotation system : Wider in South to ensure that sun protection, the thickness in the North provide a visual filter protecting the privacy of the place.
The materiality of the stone creating an imbalance in the door overhang, combined with large bay windows protected by wooden sun breezes offer a simple writing stating the spatial quality and value of a specified environment.

This smooth, jelly-textured highlighter blends into the skin for a luminous, glowing skin effect. The versatile jelly formula makes it the perfect multi-use highlighter -- it can be worn alone, over makeup, or mixed into foundation. It applies wet, and dries to a long-wearing glowy finish.
Use alone, or mix a small amount into foundation for a dewy glow.
Apply to cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow with fingertips or a sponge.
Jelly Highlighter is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 29.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gordo from These highlighters are AWESOME!!! These are the first jelly highlighters I've tried, I like them so much. I thought they would be sticky and difficult to blend and apply but I was so wrong. They have a smooth texture, and they blend out easy and you can sheer them out or make them blinding. They're really beautiful. Oh they set pretty fast so make it snappy when applying.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sabrinariott from Gives “chicken skin” I bought this after I saw it was JS approved. I was so excited to try it and really wanted to love it. I usually use powder foundation and thought this would be a good change of pace. Unfortunately , I tried this product and it resulted in my foundation “breaking up” around my pores (I was usuing the elf flawless finish foundation actually). Commonly known as “chicken skin”, it looked blotchy and gross. The shine wasn’t nice.. kinda. I got “cloud” and while the sheen itself is very bright, when its not being directly hit by light or sun it reveals its natural, darker, rose-ish color. This unfortunately is actually pretty dark, so if you have any type of fairness to your skin it may look like “dirt” when not being hit by light or sun. Honestly I’m shocked to have had this experience after all the 5 star reviews, but at least it was only a few bucks and I WILL be trying out “bubbly” now that it’s back in stock, hopefully with better results.
Rated 5 out of 5 by emily424 from amazing! such a pretty highlight. works really well on natural skin alone or on a full face of makeup. works even better with powder highlighter layered on top of it. really nice natural glow, but can be built up to be blinding.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stardazzle97 from Incredibly light! Purchased a month ago and I still have so much of it less because I don’t need to apply a lot to shine. Also very light on my sensitive skin and not irritating at all. Prefer Jelly Highlighter over regular highlight. Absolutely LOVE!
Rated 5 out of 5 by crystalove34 from My new favorite glow I just bought this in the shade cloud and it's the most beautiful glow I've ever seen. Worth it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by NMK1072 from Highly Impressed with Dew & Cloud I admit I was highly skeptical of these jelly highlighters when they first came out, so I bought both Dew (gold) and Cloud (rose) at Ulta so I could return in case I did not like them. So far I have been unduly impressed by both for different reasons: Dew really matches the gold/yellow undertones in my skin, so I have that overall subtle candle-lit glow; Cloud, on the other hand, gives off more of a brighter highlight, although I can't tell much of a difference on camera. After a little experimenting, I find the best application is dabbing them with my fingers on top of my foundation and right before I use my elf primer-infused blush. I dab along my cheek and brow bones, forehead and nose. The highlighters go on wet and dry down to a beautiful soft finish on my skin, so I don't feel them at all and they both have staying power for several hours. Not to mention, they are very buildable. I was really concerned that they would really show every line, crease and pore on my face, but—if anything—I look like I have more of an airbrushed appearance which is exactly what I wanted. My only caveat is that I wish there were more colors such as peach, bronze, pink, etc.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melixoxo from Good drugstore highlighter!! This is honestly so good for a nice face highlighter. The glitters are fine and leave a definite shine. Only slight downside is that it does dry to quick but if blended with your foundation itll leave a nice dewy glow. I also have combination skin and have a hard time finding a face highlighter without leaving a greasy finish. Love this!
I wouldn't say it is lighter, it is a different tone. They are all bright highlighters, if you want to diffuse the look a bit, wear it under your foundation. The color cloud is more cool toned, the color dew is more warm. I suggest going to Ulta, or wherever you purchase your elf products from and picking up both colors to try. Especially if you are going to be photographed. Just do a trial makeup run, one highlighter on each side of your face and see which you prefer. I hope this helps a bit!

If you use your car often, either for business or personal reasons, you should always ensure it is in pristine working condition. Doing so will not only extend the life of your car, but also improve its value and functionality. Most importantly, it will ensure your car is safe to operate, reducing your chances of being involved in a car accident.
To this end, one of your resolutions for 2019 should be to take better care of your car. With that in mind, here are four New Year’s Resolutions for your car to get you started.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that a car’s windshield plays several important functions. Specifically, it prevents flying debris and the elements from getting inside your vehicle. It preserves a car’s structural integrity. This function is especially essential in a roll-over accident, preventing you from being crushed.
Additionally, it helps keep a car’s occupants safe inside of the car in the event of a head-on collision. Because of this, you should ensure your car’s windshield is free from any damage, including a small crack or chip. This is particularly important because if left unattended, a small crack or chip will eventually grow and spread across the entire windshield, causing you to replace the entire windshield.
To prevent a small crack or chip from getting progressively larger over time, you should get a qualified windshield repair technician to repair it. According to auto glass experts, if you have a maximum of three cracks or chips measuring six inches or smaller, you should hire an experienced windshield repair service to repair car’s windshield.
However, if the damage is in front of a sensor or camera, windshield repair may not be possible, meaning you would need to replace the windshield. Remember, in most states, it is illegal to drive with a damaged windshield, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
Your car needs regular maintenance checks as well as oil changes to keep running smoothly. Such inspections will help you catch small issues early before they turn into major problems, helping you avoid potentially expensive repairs in the future.
If you notice any leaks while performing an oil change, get a qualified auto mechanic to fix the leak as soon as possible. At the same time, schedule regular tune-ups for your car as recommended by the manufacturer.
Simply put, a tune-up is one of the key maintenance procedures. It entails checking and adjusting all of the systems in your car that affects its combustion process. To find out what other regular maintenance procedures your car requires to run smoothly, consult your owner’s manual.
A typical car has several locks including boot, ignition, and door locks, among others. Of course, the main function of your car’s locking system is security, granting access only to authorized persons. For this reason, you should ensure the system is working properly. If it is not working as it should, hire a qualified auto locksmith to look at it and carry out the necessary repairs.
Contrary to popular belief, idling is not the best way to warm up your car’s engine. In fact, unnecessary idling not only wastes gas, but it’s also bad for the environment. Specifically, idling for about 10 minutes a day releases nearly a quarter-tonne of carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Additionally, it increases your annual gas bill by at least $80. For these reasons, you should avoid unnecessary idling in 2018.
As part of your New Year’s resolutions for your car, ensure your car’s windshield is free from any damage, schedule regular maintenance and tune-ups for your car, avoid unnecessary idling, and ensure your car’s locking system is working properly.

From now until November 10, Lollapalooza is asking fans to "be the booking agent" and submit the top five artists they'd like to play the fest in 2010, slated for August 6-8. There's no limitations - they're asking for suggestions that span "monster headliners to bands we’ve never even heard of -- from rock to avant-garde, indie to hip-hop, and all the sounds in between." The form also asks participants for any other suggestions, so now's the time to speak up here. Don't forget to include your favorite Chicago-based indie acts, who could always use a stronger presence on the bill.
What do you think? Who do you most want to see in the 2010 lineup?
Nice idea but I find it hard to believe they're actually going to take anybody's comments into account. Seems more like a PR thing.

SWAG salutes the sadly departed comedy legend Robin Williams, who was found dead at his home at the age of 63 on August 11. Although Popeye was not a success, it was his first ever film role and we offer here a clip from it since it represents his Maltese connection. The production was filmed here in 1980. Indeed, Popeye Village is actually the film set from that movie. RIP to a brilliant comic actor who made all of us here at SWAG laugh whether he was playing an alien from the planet Ork or a singing and dancing nanny - with some fine, oscar-winning serious performances thrown in for good measure.
SWAG spoke to Narcy Calamatta, who worked with Robin Williams during the filming of Popeye. We asked him if he had any fond memories of the late comedy legend.
“When Robin Williams was in Malta filming Popeye, there was a conflict with the Director, Robert Altman. I wanted to keep Popeye Village as a tourist attraction, but Robert Altman didn’t trust me. He told me I wanted to use it for another film, but I insisted I was looking forward to a Popeye 2.

You get a clue of what pesticides are in the 1947 law “regulating” their use in the United States. The law, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, says pesticides are chemicals designed to control (destroy, mitigate, repel) insects, fungi, rodents and weeds. Then the law opens loopholes and unleashes a barrage of technical terms and vague sentences as if the matter of pesticides is as normal as apple pie. You get the impression farming is impossible without them.
But are pesticides normal? In fact, should most of them exist at all?
It’s true some kind of pest control substances like sulfur have been in existence for millennia. Homer talks of disinfecting Odysseus’ palace with sulfur. And my father used sulfur to fight disease in his grapevines.
The Eastern Roman Empire included most of the territory of the empire of Alexander the Great. It lasted for more than a millennium.
In the sixth century, Greek became the official language of this Eurasian empire. Whatever Greek treasures survived the violence of the Christianization of Europe in the fourth century, one could find them in medieval Greece. However, the power, wealth and influence of this Greek state made it a bone of contention. The Turks, the Slavs, and Western Europeans wanted what it had.
In the seventh century, the Arabs took over Egypt and Syria. However the wars between Greeks and Arabs lasted for a long time.
The Turks conquered most of Asia Minor in late eleventh century. In 1204, Western Christian Crusaders dismembered medieval Greece. In fact, Venetians appointed their own emperor in Constantinople, the capital of the empire.
I have been studying the ancient Greeks for most of my life. I took graduate classes in ancient and medieval Greek history and wrote my doctoral dissertation on a scholar who also went deep in his studies of ancient Greek culture, especially medicine.
This man, Adamantios Koraes, 1748-1833, became the golden link between ancient and modern Greece. He edited Greek classical texts that became textbooks in Greek schools. He spread his knowledge and patriotism, becoming the father of the Greek Revolution.
Koraes grew up in a country ruled by Turks, so his passion for ancient Greece was a passion of life and death. He lived the Turkish humiliations and the corruption necessary for survival. He probably told himself he had to get away from the Turks or die. A Dutch pastor taught him Latin and encouraged him to go to “enlightened” Europe.
Future historians will have a say on the Donald Trump administration. Was it average or more hegemonic and plutocratic than its predecessors? Trump threatens adversaries with wars of “fire and fury.” He claims he is a billionaire. He hired billionaires for his cabinet.
Future historians will probably question the foolishness of American democracy giving the president, all presidents, more power than any emperor ever had. This is as convincing an argument as one can make that the United States is an empire dressed in democratic clothes.

It’s back! Zach Ryan shreds next to audience members at the Bunkhouse’s reopening.
When the Bunkhouse Saloon closed in July without warning, it felt like a major blow to the music scene—but less than four months later, its doors are open once again. Now operated by former Artifice bartender Jillian Tedrow, the Downtown venue is back for a third go-round and it could be stronger than ever.
It opened to a packed house on Friday night, and the room was primed for hometown heroes Paige Overton and Jack Evan Johnson. The latter recently returned from Australia, and his bluesy, classic rock-tinged set was one of his strongest to date. Also back in Vegas—but just visiting—was Nashville export Zach Ryan and his band The Wanderers, performing new material that showcased the ex-Vegas songwriter’s grittier, more developed sound.
The new Bunkhouse, which features the same general configuration and sound system from its previous incarnation, has undergone a few noticeable changes. There are flatscreen TVs above the bar. The walls have returned to their original (pre-Downtown Project-era) stucco-orange, a heartfelt homage to the spot’s roots. Christmas lights hang over the stage. There’s AstroTurf on the back patio. The women’s restroom (finally) has mirrors. Patrons can enter from the 11th Street gate (or the alley on the opposite end). And the beer list has had quite the revamp (hello, Horny Goat Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter!). Though no food was served on night one, we’re anxious to see what Eat/Chow chef Natalie Young has in store for the bar’s kitchen.
More changes are expected over time, and though there’s no telling exactly how different Bunkhouse 3.0 will be, judging from Friday’s reception, the venue once more has a promising future.
