Far too often they were unsuccessful," said co-founder and financier Florian Schindler in an interview at the time The start-up developed a tablet and software for seniors everything tailored to the needs of older people Nepos failed to gain traction and fell by the wayside "I would do a lot of things differently if I had to market a product like this again today," says Paul Lunow We had very high-quality standards and would have had to take smaller steps much faster." In the interview Lunow said that they wanted to offer both hardware and software completely in-house but in the end they were unable to finance the hardware The new approach of only focusing on software also failed and thus they never even made it to market enna co-founder Kutschera says: "Basically we have our own hardware with the Enna dock which is much cheaper than producing an entire tablet as was the case with other providers of senior PCs And then we also see ourselves as a software company We are convinced of the market potential," he says and adds: "I think the biggest hurdle is always market entry That's where most people have failed so far." Nepos turned to newspaper publishers to get the word out—a seemingly logical decision on the surface as newspaper readers tend to skew old "It often happens that a grandchild sees our product on Tiktok or Instagram and then brings it into the family," says enna Kutschera Individual videos from enna now have a reach of millions on Tiktok The solution is often purchased by relatives the start-up wants to serve both target groups by advertising not only on social media Nepos founder Lunow believes that the topic of digital participation will always be important who change their apps and digital devices as often as their clothes seniors tend to remain loyal to a product once they have a functioning system." Lunow sees the potential in that regard in setups like those from Enna Systems he does not believe that the solution of working via cards will work as they are “too limited.” Kutschera is of a different opinion: "We see ourselves as a platform that bridges the gap between generations With emotional storytelling on Tiktok and Instagram the majority of paid ads reach more than 650,000 users on Tiktok Although Enna Systems only has around 20,000 followers on its own Tiktok channel which achieved over two and a half million views The space has attracted other competitors. Berlin-based Generation Reach which involves a card reader and cards that can be used to call up content or execute commands such as starting a video call The device is still only available as a

His focus on neuropsychopharmacology began with a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Texas After a year with Alfred Pletscher at Hoffman-LaRoche in Basel he took a third post-doctoral fellowship (1974–1976) with Solomon Snyder in the Department of Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore where he began his career-long research on γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) He then joined the Department of Pharmacology and Neurobiology at the University of Texas Medical School Houston rising to the rank of full Professor in a mere 4 years to take the helm of the newly created Nova Pharmaceutical Corporation as its Scientific Director he and Colleen returned to their hometown when Sam was appointed the Chair and Professor of Pharmacology Toxicology and Therapeutics at the University of Kansas Medical School In addition to his path-breaking research on GABA Sam turned his energies to scientific editing he served on the editorial advisory boards of over a dozen journals in pharmacology and neuroscience including the Journal of Neuroscience He was the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (1998–2002) of Biochemical Pharmacology (2003–present) and series editor of Advances in Pharmacology (2009–present) his international reputation for scholarship contributed to his election as Secretary General of the International Union of

at Hopkins I think that our shared bemusement over the contradictions of academic life cemented our bond that was leavened by his trenchant humor We managed to fashion opportunities to continue to work (and laugh) together on ACNP committees NIH study sections and pharmaceutical consulting One of our favorite times was our annual dinner Invariably it focused on reviewing the lives of our children spanning years from grade school to college to their adult accomplishments and marriages the family was the center of Sam’s attention and love Sam will be missed by countless friends from

and stone-carved churches towered over the countryside with breathtaking views and winding roads that zig-zagged The vibrant blue sea crashing against white cliff sides The coastal towns were full of

outdoor seating area The few people that did speak both were constantly being used as translators shifting between three different conversations at a time My dad got a little savvy and used a translating app and it would translate the words into Italian aloud layers of soft eggplant blanketed with rich And the various 2-litre water bottles filled with red wine scattered across the table made the English speakers try to speak Italian As the late setting sun went down under the cliffside They certainly don’t call Sicily God’s Kitchen for nothing It was incredible to see this little

Kleopatra and the rest of his works gradually vanished The 2019 production at the Danish National Opera — source of the present recording– marked the work’s first performance in 122 years on Danish soil We are lucky that Dacapo and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation recorded those performances: the CD set goes far toward vindicating Enna and his vision of a native musical life that could stand shoulder to shoulder with what was being done in European lands then recognized as more obviously “major.” Enna’s style in Kleopatra reminds me of Wagner’s operas from some 50 years earlier (mainly The Flying Dutchman and Tannhäuser) enriched with numerous decorative orchestral touches that evoke French and Italian models Charmion’s Act 1 lament contains a little piping oboe figure with grace note that comes right out of Aida end with persuasively energetic cabaletta-like sections much like those in Italian and French operas of the previous half-century the vocal lines lie comfortably on the voice and display (in William H I was often captivated by short orchestral commentaries preceding or following some statement by a character: surging arpeggiated figures from the strings Enna knows just when to have the orchestra double the voice (much as Puccini was doing around the same time) One notable case of the latter technique occurs when the high priest Sepa demands (in Act 1 scene 1) that Harmaki (the heir to the pharaonic throne) be firm in his plan of murdering Kleopatra and thereby freeing Egypt from Roman control Each moment makes its point and then moves on here oddly translated “Overture”) take an hour and 50 minutes making the work far shorter than most Wagner operas or French grand operas And eight of those minutes are a lovely ballet sequence that could be omitted but I hope won’t ever be This ballet would also work well on a pops-orchestra concert Harmaki — to summarize the plot briefly — enters Kleopatra’s court in disguise as an astrologer for she has called for someone who might interpret her dream (Haggard presumably was adding a bit of the biblical Joseph into the story.) Kleopatra instantly falls in love with her would-be murderer tries to persuade him to be loyal to his people A scene from the 2019 Danish National Opera production of Kleopatra Charmion then reveals his plot to Kleopatra who arrests Charmion’s father (the high priest Sepa) and the other conspirators Harmaki stabs himself with the dagger with which he had once intended to murder Kleopatra as Charmion — who loved him but betrayed him — collapses on top of him “heartbroken,” in a melodious love-death that would make a fine concert aria (less than four minutes) Among other effective theatrical details are a veil that Charmion accidentally drops (and that the queen finds) and a wreath of hyacinths that the queen places on Harmaki’s head in Act 1 and that then gathers to his breast (a bit like Bizet’s Don José with Carmen’s flower) If we are ready now to discover the virtues of other mainstream opera composers from the mid and late 19th century that I have reviewed here in recent years (by, say F. Lachner, Bruch, David, Gounod, Saint-Saens, Godard, Lalo), why not Enna or another Scandinavian, Olander (his opera about a mythical Swedish heroine, Blenda) and you can stream the beginning of each track there as well and in the program books of major opera houses The present review first appeared in American Record Guide and appears here with kind permission Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" The Lady’s Dressing Room (1732) BY JONATHAN SWIFT Five hours (and who can do it less in?)

The fourth chocolate bar that didn’t place was Rock Hopper, an 80% dark chocolate made with goat milk. Much like any other goat products, Grazier said the chocolate bar “is not for everyone” and is an acquired taste. 2023 8:43 p.m.The Deschutes County District Attorney dropped criminal charges against a Bend police officer Wednesday after prosecutors decided a police whistleblower was unfit to testify Officer Kevin Uballez has been on paid leave since June 6 when two fellow officers reported concerns about his use of force during the arrest of an intoxicated man on the west side of Bend Prosecutors sought misdemeanor charges in October 2022 Uballez pleaded not guilty to one count of fourth degree assault and one count of harassment Neither Uballez nor his attorney responded to requests for comment State records show Uballez joined the department in 2014 He has been paid $173,356 by the city while on leave Bend Police spokesperson Sheila Miller said FILE: A Bend Police cruiser in October 2020 Deschutes DA Steve Gunnels moved to have both charges against Uballez dismissed this week “I determined there was not sufficient evidence to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” Gunnels said in a phone call The tarnished reputation of a key witness was “a critical factor,” he said The witness, Peter Enna, was one of the two fellow officers who reported Uballez to police supervisors. In the spring of 2022, Enna resigned from the department amid accusations he mishandled an unrelated arrest, as the Bulletin reported the District Attorney’s office added Enna to the prosecutor’s “Brady list,” a registry of law enforcement officers who aren’t allowed to testify because of incidents involving dishonesty but did not conclude what he saw was a crime Gunnels laid out more reasons the criminal case fell apart: None of the officers who witnessed the incident were wearing body cameras; Hamlin was “in a drunken stupor,” without a clear memory of events; and prosecutors found he had already been “badly beaten” by a group of teenagers who left him in the middle of the road before Officer Uballez arrived at the scene Hamlin filed a federal suit against the city of Bend and Uballez in June Attorneys working on the case have until March 2024 to discover evidence Editor’s note: This article has been updated to include Uballez’ salary while on leave Tags: Bend, Police Stand with OPB and protect independent journalism for everyone Listen to the OPB News live stream (opens new window)Streaming Now Uballez pleaded not guilty to one count of fourth degree assault and one count of harassment.","type":"text"},{"_id":"MRSNBQHC45G27BDVIZNEVAHG6M","additional_properties":{"_id":1700860622131},"content":"Neither Uballez nor his attorney responded to requests for comment Her reporting seeks to hold powerful people to account promote honesty and transparency in public affairs She formerly contributed award-winning programming to Georgia Public Broadcasting and Jefferson Public Radio and reporting to community newspapers like the Del Norte Triplicate in Crescent City Emily graduated from the University of Texas in Austin.
