Bomberg 1968 Review
Words By Zach Weiss
Most brands that seemingly come out of nowhere tend to take a subtle approach to their entry into the watch market. An ad here, a viral campaign there, but not usually a full on marketing assault. Well, Bomberg, whom we ran a brief intro to not long ago, appeared out of the void and isn't taking a back seat on building brand awareness. In Basel this year, though they were not in one of the official halls, Bomberg managed to obtain adverts all over the city, including a full wrap around some of the trams that lead from the main train station to the BaselWorld convention center. And with one look at their watches and marketing materials, which include aggressive maxims and photos of tattooed boxers, you can tell that subtlety is not in their brand DNA.
Yet despite this go-for-the-jugular approach, Bomberg does not plan on being available in the US in the near future. In fact, their current primary focus is on distribution in Central and South America. So, if you happen to live in the states and fall in love with the watch in the review to follow, sorry buddy, but you'll have to find a creative way to get your watch. That being said, non-US distributed watches do tend to show up on watch forums from time to time if the watch is popular enough.
Anyway, none of this would matter if the watches were dull, and I can assure you, love it or hate, the 1968 is not a dull watch. This vintage inspired bullhead chronograph is one of the most aggressive watches we've come across, with a case design that is utterly unique and a dial that seems like it belongs on the dash of a muscle car. Bomberg sent us over 2 version of the watch to take a look at, a steel version that runs $625 and a PVD version that goes for $675. Both feature Miyota OS11 Quartz chronograph movements, domed mineral crystals with sapphire coating, leather straps and not even a drop of modesty.

Lume: Yes
Lens: Domed Sapphire
Strap: Leather
Water Res.: 100m
Thickness: 15 – 18.5mm

When you first see the 1968 there is a moment of confusion. You see the somewhat classic shape (cylindrical center with lugs on either side) but the proportions are all off. The top lugs are stubby and the bottom lugs are wildly long. The crowns are on top and the dial seems to lean towards you. Take a look at it from the side and things only get weirder, as the line of the bezel is at about a 10 degree angle from where you expect and the bottom of the case and lugs have a single continuous curve that looks more aggressive than aesthetic. It's as though the watch was filtered through a Dalí painting, where it melted and distorted.
In fact, the watch doesn't really make sense until it is on your wrist. Only then do you realize that the bizarre case design is about fitting the watch on your wrist. The curve on the bottom allows the watch to hug your wrist tightly, the angled dial allows the wrist to be turned less in order for the dial to be seen and the snubbed top lugs allow for easier access to the 12 o'clock mounted pushers.
For those new to the concept, this is called a bullhead, which as the name of the watch indicates, was a somewhat popular case design in the mid to late 60's and perhaps into the 70's. Brands such as Omega, Tissot, Seiko and many more had (mechanical) bullheads in their lines that were often inspired by motorsports. There currently seems to be a trend towards this design as several brands have released bullheads this year, including Omega and Tag Heuer. The cool thing about a bullhead is that if you take the watch off your wrist, you can hold it in your hand and use it like a stop watch. Bomberg did a great job implementing this by allowing for the half of the strap that attaches at the top to fall away easily. Other than that, they are just very unique and often a bit bizarre.
The case itself measures 44mm in diameter, 18.5mm at its thickest point and 15 at its thinnest. The lug-to-lug is 54mm, but that is a bit deceptive as the asymmetrical design and dramatic curvature of the case bottom makes it wear differently than other watches, so it seems shorter than 54mm. The watch also features a 22mm lug width, though given the design, I think you'll only be able to use Bomberg straps on the watch. The case has minimal finishing on it. Perhaps this was smart as anything additional could just drive the case over the top, but I felt that there could have been more done. The watch features beveling along the edge of the lugs, which is nice, but the big slab of steel that is the side of the central case felt too unadorned.
The case assembly is actually very interesting in that the lugs are part of the screw in case back rather than the central case. Thus, it seems as though it would have been possible to have differing finishes between the two. That being said the matte black PVD model felt more complete. The PVD, which is well applied, gives the wild curves of the watch a meaner and more aggressive feel. The steel version feels very closely inspired by automobiles, but the PVD version has touches of fighter jets and stealth helicopters.
The crown at 12 has a nice knurling to it that is both attractive and allows it to be more easily grasped and a Bomberg logo on top. Part of me wishes it were screw-down, given how exposed the crown is and that you are unlikely to use it often as this is a quartz watch. The chrono-pushers at 11 and 1 are both oval shaped, polished on top and satin on the side. They suit the look of the watch, but they don't feel as sturdy as the rest of the case. Though this likely has more to do with the movement, the pushers do not have a satisfying click when engaging, pausing or resetting the chronograph.
Once you get past the case, if you are capable, you can move on to the dial, which offers yet another slew of intriguing elements. At a glance, the dial of the 1968 is without a doubt very busy. In fact, that tends to be the first thing people say when they see it. The primary index, which is focused on minutes/seconds, consists solely of large digits in a strong font, and a large Bomber logo at 0/60. This index immediately calls to mind tachometers and other dashboard gauges. While the digits are a bit oversized, I don't think they would work smaller. This is an aggressive watch by nature, and anything delicate would look inappropriate in contrast to the case design. On the periphery of the dial is an angled chapter ring that displays a tachymeter, also reinforcing the racing theme.
Moving to the center of the dial, things get quite interesting. Rather than simply printing the sub-dials on the main dial, or impressing them in, they added a molded plate with various textures and surfaces to create something more dynamic. On the 3 o'clock side, you have the active seconds hand which sits within the plate, under the highest surface. The index for the seconds is broken up in a strange way, where 60 – 25 are outside of the inner dial, but 30 and 45 are within. On the 9 side is the 60 minute chronograph totalizer. Unlike the rest of this plate, the index of this dial is on angled ring. This visually distinguishes it from the rest of the dial, which helps with visual organization.
On the center of the plate is a partial hour index. They designed it to basically look like the hour index was there, but that the active seconds and 60-minute totalizer cut through it. The partial index has numerals for 12 and 6 and marker 11, 1, 5 and 7. It's not a particularly functional index, and perhaps adds to the sense of business, but I imagine without it the center would have felt bare. One very nice detail on the dial is the placement of the date window. It is nested under part of the curve of the active seconds dial. I honestly didn't realize it was there until I examined the dial closely, which is nice as it manages to be a discreet functional element.
The hands of the 1968 are strong and masculine without being over the top. The hour and minute hands are straight sword style, which are half skeletonized/ half lumed and the active seconds hand is a small steel roman sword style without lume. The chronograph seconds is a straight stick hand with a rectangle of lume towards the tip. On the steel model this hand is orange while on the PVD model it is white. Lastly, the 60-minute totalizer hand is a very simple straight sword of polished steel. There is lume present in the main minute/hour index, on the minute and hour hands and on the chronograph seconds counter. All in all, the lume is pretty weak on these watches. One interesting thing, however, is that on the steel watch the lume is pale green while on the PVD it is pale blue.
The 1968's are fitted with Miyota OS11 quartz chronograph movements. This is a simple bi-compax chronograph movement with date and a stated accuracy of +/- 20 seconds a month and a battery life of approximately 3 years. In my time of using the watch, I experienced no issues with the movement in terms of loss or gain of time. While I understand the necessity to use a quartz chronograph on a watch in this price range (yes, I do wish they would use a SeaGull ST19 on this, but that is unlikely to happen), I do think that with the existence of mecha-quartz movements, such as seen on the Techné Sparrow Hawk II, there are better options that would make the chronograph more functional. Also, as stated before, the watch doesn't have a satisfying click when engaging or resetting the chronograph, and actually has no click when pausing.
Straps and Wearability
The 1968s come mounted on very nice rally style straps that are designed specifically to fit this watch. The leather is very soft and comfortable, and the construction seems to be good. An interesting detail of the straps is that rather than perforating all the way through to get that telltale rally strap look, they did a perforated top layer only. This definitely gets the style of a rally strap across, but has its own unique character as well. Both straps are also fitted with a Bomberg buckle, which is beautifully designed. It's a fairly chunky buckle with some interesting flared curves and tapers. However, the nicest thing about the buckle is that when the watch in on the wrist, the buckle sits flush against the strap, continuing the natural curve of the leather.
As I had said before, the watch doesn't really make sense until you put it on. When you strap the watch on, you realize that the form is driven by the shape of the wrist in a very literal way. The contour of the bottom of the lugs and caseback wraps around the wrist, gripping it tightly. The shorter top lugs and longer bottom lugs make the dial and bulk of the case sit off center, towards the top of your wrist when looking at the watch. As such, the weight of the watch is in a strange place that makes the watch feel like it is going to rotate over the side of your wrist. The contoured case, however, keeps it in place.
While I appreciate the intention here and certainly the effort to do something different, I did not find it particularly comfortable. It is hard to ignore the sensation of the watch touching so much surface area of your wrist, and the off center weight makes it feel like it is going to slip over the side of your wrist even though it isn't. That being said, like a very heavy dive watch, it is possible that you will simply get used to that feeling after a couple of days/weeks. It is also entirely possible that you simply will not have the same reaction I did.
Apart from this, the watch is pretty wild looking when on your wrist. First off, it's very big and tall. At 18.5mm at the top edge, this watch towers on the wrist. The long, fang-like, bottom lugs are striking to say the least, and the generally dramatic asymmetrical tilt of the dial gives the watch a strange profile. And that's not to say it's bad looking. In fact, it's pretty awesome, if it's a look you like. Wrist presence doesn't quite describe; wrist shock is more apt. This isn't a watch for those who don't like to be noticed. It's a conversation starter and a design that elicits strong reactions. I
In steel, the colors and tan strap give the watch a somewhat lighter and softer appearance. Though there is nothing vintage about the shape and feel of the watch, the mix of pale green, orange and silver does emote a 60's aesthetic. Conversely, the matte black PVD is mean and modern. The black makes it much sleeker and seemingly a drop smaller. It's hard to say which is more appealing. On one hand, I find the colors of the steel version make it more wearable with a normal outfit. On the other, the attitude of the black version is hard to match.
The Bomberg 1968 isn't a watch for everyone. It's a love it or leave it design that doesn't compromise on its boldness. It's big, dramatic and kind of crazy looking. Frankly, it's a good thing that it's polarizing, that means the design was pushed far enough. Whenever brands try to please everyone, they end up with something a touch bland. The 1968 is anything but. As far build and execution goes, for the most part everything is spot on; the dial is clean and sharp, the case is rugged. The crown and pushers leave a bit to be desired and I do wish they had mixed up the finishing a bit on the large slab sides of the case, but that's not a deal breaker.
For $625 and $675, these are pushing the limit of what a quartz chronograph without special functionality can cost, but you can clearly see and feel the value in other areas. That being said, as I had mentioned in the intro, Bomberg has an aggressive marketing campaign in the works and these prices are retail, so they actually are lower than what many other brands would charge. Either way, they're not available in the US currently, so don't run to your local store to pick one up.
Lastly, it's worth noting that they make 39mm and automatic 3-hand versions. I had a brief chance to see them in Basel, and yes, the 39mm is more tame and more suitable for thinner wristed individuals. The automatic version, which is powered by a Miyota 8215, keeps much of the same aesthetic, though is a drop more tame since it lacks some of the sub-dials.

I love, are they planning a auto version?
w&w says:
Yes! Actually, there already is one though it is not a chronograph… I updated the last paragraph to include a link and some details.
That is one seriously over-compensating watch.
Interesting asymetrical side profile though.

I like the look of the case and how it looks on the wrist but the main thing is where can i buy it. So far i had no luck finding online retailers.

The worst of right-wing commentator and potential Texas GOP chairman Allen West
Written by Eric Hananoki
Melissa Joskow / Media Matters
Update (7/8/19): West announced that he has "decided to explore the opportunity to be the next chairman of the Republican Party of Texas."
Right-wing pundit Allen West is expected to announce that he plans to run for political office in his newly adopted state of Texas. West has a long history of pushing smears, lies, and toxic rhetoric, especially against Muslims.
West served in the U.S. Army but was "stripped of his command" in 2003 after he pleaded "guilty to assaulting an Iraqi detainee during interrogation," according to The Boston Globe. Gen. James Mattis, President Donald Trump's former secretary of defense, reportedly criticized West as a "commander who has lost his moral balance or has watched too many Hollywood movies." West became a one-term congressman in 2011 and subsequently joined the media as a political commentator. He has also served on the board of the National Rifle Association, which is now plagued by infighting and allegations of financial misdeeds.
West has repeatedly used toxic rhetoric about a variety of topics. He called President Barack Obama an "Islamist" and "disgusting racist"; said the "Democrat Party is an anti-Semitic party"; and falsely accused dozens of congressional Democrats of being "members of the Communist Party." He claimed that Islam "is not a religion" and "we need to have individuals stand up and say that," and his Facebook page posted (and later removed) an image that claimed Trump had chosen Mattis as his defense secretary to "exterminate Muslims." He also questioned the "loyalties" of Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), a Purple Heart recipient, and said feminists are "neutering American men and bringing us to the point of this incredible weakness."
On June 17, West wrote on his website that "folks have called upon me to consider three opportunities here in this next election cycle: run for US Senate, run for US Congressional District 32 (where I have lived since moving to the Dallas area), or run for Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas" and that on July 3, he'll announce "the opportunity that I will endeavor to pursue."
Here is a summary of West's toxic rhetoric (much of the following information was published by Media Matters in December 2016):
West's toxic history as a military commander and commentator
West was "stripped of his command after pleading guilty to assaulting an Iraqi detainee." The Boston Globe noted in 2003 that West was "stripped of his command after pleading guilty to assaulting an Iraqi detainee during interrogation. ... The military said that during an interrogation of an Iraqi police officer Aug. 20 near the village of Taji, north of Baghdad, West fired his pistol near the head of the prisoner, threatened to kill him, and allowed his troops to beat the man." [Boston Globe, 12/14/03; Media Matters, 2/8/10]
Mattis reportedly called West a "commander who has lost his moral balance or has watched too many Hollywood movies." Roll Call noted that Mattis reportedly criticized West for his actions as a commander:
West drew Mattis' scrutiny after he was reprimanded for firing a weapon near the head of prisoner he was interrogating while he was an artillery battalion commander in Iraq in 2003.
In putting together documents to prepare his Marines for deployment to Iraq, Mattis pointed to the case of West as a "commander who has lost his moral balance or has watched too many Hollywood movies," defense writer Thomas Ricks wrote in his book "Fiasco." [Roll Call, 12/6/16]
West left conservative website after he reportedly "had an anti-Semitic exchange with a staffer, calling her a 'Jewish American princess.'" West left the conservative website PJ Media after, according to BuzzFeed, West had "an altercation with a female staffer in which he allegedly called her a 'Jewish American princess.' ... Asked specifically whether he referred to the employee as a 'Jewish American princess,' West said simply, 'There was an exchange, that's all.'" [BuzzFeed, 9/26/13]
West heavily plagiarized a viral internet story. In a piece attacking the Obama administration for purportedly ignoring the deaths of law enforcement officers, West plagiarized from a viral internet story. He lifted at least six paragraphs (including typos) from the story, which was previously posted on sites like Yahoo! Answers, Free Republic, Facebook, and the comments section of various websites. [Media Matters, 12/12/14]
West questioned the "loyalties" of decorated veteran and Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth. During a 2014 appearance on a conservative radio show, West said of decorated veteran Tammy Duckworth and her position on the Obama administration's response to the 2012 Benghazi attack: "I just don't know where her loyalties lie. You know, for her to have been a veteran, a wounded warrior for the United States Army, she should know that this is not the right thing. And hopefully, you know, she will remember the oath of office that she took as an Army officer and not the allegiance I guess she believes she has to the liberal progressives of the Democrat Party." [Media Matters, 5/22/14]
West: Islam "is not a religion" and "we need to have individuals stand up and say that." West claimed, "Islam is a totalitarian theocratic political ideology, it is not a religion.

West called Obama and Holder "vile and disgusting racists." West wrote of Obama and then-Attorney General Eric Holder: "How long will it be before 'you people' realize you have elevated someone to the office of president who abjectly despises you -- not to mention his henchman Holder. Combined they are the most vile and disgusting racists." [AllenBWest.com, 1/14/14, via Media Matters]
West: "Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist." West wrote on his website that Obama "is purposefully enabling the Islamist cause" and concluded: "Sorry, but I can only explain this one way: Barack Hussein Obama is an Islamist in his foreign policy perspectives and supports their cause. You can go back and listen to his 2009 speech in Cairo, where Muslim Brotherhood associates were seated front and center." West repeated his claim in the media, telling Boston Herald Radio that "deep down inside, you know, Barack Hussein Obama has an Islamist sympathy. ... I don't understand where this president's loyalties lie, and I have to ask the question, whose side is he on?" [AllenBWest.com, 8/13/14, via Media Matters; Boston Herald Radio, Trending Now, 8/19/14]
West's response to whether Obama is a Muslim: "The president has an Eastern orientation, I'll put it that way."

West compared Democrats to Nazis and called media "complicit." West told reporters in December 2011: "If Joseph Goebbels was around, he'd be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine. ... Let's be honest, you know, some of the people in the media are complicit with this and enabling them to get that type of message out." [Media Matters, 5/17/13]

West responded by telling members of the armed forces to disobey their orders. He wrote: "Barack Hussein Obama took out his pen and ordered our Military to enlist illegal aliens. In other words, this charlatan has allowed those who have disrespected our Constitution and are not citizens to take an oath to support and defend the very document, our rule of law, of which they are in violation." He added: "This is an illegal order and should not be followed by our Military." [Media Matters, 9/26/14]
West invoked slavery to attack Democrats. West has claimed that Democrats are keeping black voters on a "plantation." He also said that "the Democratic appetite for ever-increasing redistributionary handouts is in fact the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today" and Obama would "rather you be his slave." [Media Matters, 5/17/13]
West agreed with radio host that "Khmer Rouge feminists" are attempting a "coup" against the military.

[Media Matters, 5/12/14]
West: Obama "purposefully creating drama" like Malaysia Airlines MH17 crash. West wrote on his website:
Sadly, hundreds of Ukrainians and 298 souls on MH17 have paid the price for the weakness and abject cowardice of Obama's "flexibility."
And here in America we quibble over a lawsuit against this charlatan.
The blood on Vladimir Putin's hands was poured by Barack Obama who is indirectly responsible, accountable and no different than Neville Chamberlain's weakness in the face of the 20th Century maniacal dictator Adolf Hitler.
So much for no drama Obama. He is purposefully creating drama globally. [AllenBWest.com, 7/18/14, via Media Matters]
West has pushed anti-immigrant rhetoric. West has warned that illegal immigration is like an "invasion into your country." He's also accused Democratic officials of being "almost treasonous" by inviting undocumented immigrants to attend a hearing on the DREAM Act. [Media Matters, 5/17/13]

West said that a group of Black women graduating from West Point who raised their fists in a photo is akin to "white male cadets ... taking a picture with a Confederate flag." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 5/11/16]
West claimed that God has climate change "under control." In response to people saying that human activity is causing climate change, West said in October 2018: "There's a creator that's got this under control. But what they're doing is they're delegitimizing, they're undermining the sovereignty of the creator." [Media Matters, 12/29/18]

Recordkeeping requirements under the OSH Act of 1970 for employees supplied by a temporary help service.
Mr. Richard L. Cutshall
Manpower Temporary Services
22 North Seventh Street
Dear Mr. Cutshall:
I am writing in response to your letter of August 3 requesting clarification of the recordkeeping requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 for employees supplied by a temporary help service.
The primary factor to be considered in determining who should record work-related injuries and illnesses of contract employees is who supervises these workers on a day-to-day basis. Thus, if the contract employees are subject to the supervision of the using firm, the using firm must keep the records for these personnel. (See question and answer A-2, page 24 of the enclosed Recordkeeping Guidelines for Occupational Injures and Illnesses.) Additionally, the degree of supervision necessary to require maintenance of injury/illness records is stated on page 24, question and answer A-1..."employee status generally exists when the employer supervises not only the output, product or result to be accomplished by the person's work, but also the details, means, methods, and processes by which the work objective is accomplished."
If it is determined that the using firm is required to record the injury/illness experience for these employees, the hours of work (exposure hours) for these workers should also be included in the firm's records. (See question and answer A-3 on page 25.)
We are currently reevaluating the effectiveness of this requirement and other criteria in anticipation of a revision of the guidelines within the next year.
It is the intent of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to develop one set of guidelines that are comprehensible, that will meet the needs of employers of all sizes throughout the private sector, and that will produce accurate and consistent nationwide data. I would hope that you will participate in our efforts toward its development.
If we at BLS can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact my staff at Area Code: 202-272-3462.
William M. Eisenberg
Assistant Commissioner for Safety,
Health and Working Conditions

Very few bands evoke such awe and inspiration than this Swedish act driven by the now legendary talent of Peter Bjärgö. ARCANA have been pillars and always at the forefront of the so called Neo Classical / Heavenly Voices movement with their poignant, ethereal and medieval inspired music since their very first album, Dark Age Of Reason was released in 1996 on Sweden's Cold Meat Industry label on which they subsequently released 3 other albums, Cantar De Procella (1997) ...The Last Embrace (2000) and Inner Pale Sun (2002) making ARCANA one of the most regarded and praised act on the label. Sorrowful strings, Doomsday horns and trumpets, massive percussion and snares, bells, Dulcimer all interlaced with exquisite Male and Female voices create a quite singular atmosphere of grandeur and of melancholy for times long gone... ARCANA's music leaves hardly no one indifferent, it's able to touch and move in ways very few acts have been able to achieve, it's music is timeless and rediscovering these albums years later certainly proves this...now sold out for some years we are pleased to present these classic albums together in a special format.
This 4CD box set includes the first 4 albums with bonus tracks taken from various compilations and mini albums covering the early days of this unique act. The first 3 albums have also been carefully ReMastered, "Dark Age Of Reason" by Peter Bjärgö and the "Cantar De Procella" and "...The Last Embrace" albums by Frederic Arbour.
Limited edition of 2000 copies. 4 CDs housed in separate sleeves, 40 pages Booklet relating Arcana's early days all packaged in a rigid cardboard box.

Maybe Jagr, a 41-year-old who often makes self-deprecating jokes about his advanced age,Wholesale MLB Jerseys had caught a chill after the Bruins hung on for a 1-0 victory Friday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins China NHL Jerseys More likely,new style jerseys he wanted to remind himself -- and everyone else -- that the Bruins have not accomplished anything yet.
Tuukka Rask grabbed the final shot in his big glove as the buzzer sounded, sealing the Beats Br Dr Dre stunning sweep of the suddenly powerless Pittsburgh Penguins.All Rask needed was one goal of offensive support from his Bruins teammates to get Boston back in the Stanley Cup finals.Defenseman Adam McQuaid snapped a third-period tie, and Rask did the rest as the Bruins beat the Penguins 1-0 to complete a sweep of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night.They did it by allowing the NHL's highest-scoring team just two goals in four games - with Rask posting shutouts in the opener and the clincher.Boston's defense showed it could score as well when McQuaid provided the only offense the Bruins needed at 5:01 of the third period.I think first and foremost, we're obviously trying to be solid defensively, Cheap MBT Sandals sale who had one goal in 32 regular-season games but two in the playoffs, said of the defensemen. It obviously feels good. It feels good to be able to contribute that way when you don't normally.You look at so many great efforts we had from guys. The last 10 minutes of the game, guys were all over the ice, doing whatever it took to preserve that goal.McQuaid's goal sparked a chant of We want the Cup! from the capacity crowd. At the end of the game, the Bruins were one step closer to another title.Boston will face either the Chicago Blackhawks or Los Angeles Kings when the Bruins shoot for their second Stanley Cup championship in three years.Chicago leads the Western Conference series 3-1 and can advance to the finals with a home win on Saturday night. If the Blackhawks get there, it will set up the first finals matchup of Original Six NHL franchises since 1979.In the last minute, with goalie Tomas Vokoun removed for an extra skater, the Cheap NFL Jerseys kept the pressure on Rask. Pittsburgh's final shot, a 40-footer from the center of the zone from Jarome Iginla, was plucked out of the air by Rask.Seconds later, he was surrounded by ecstatic teammates.It's just a scramble, Rask said. You can't see anything, and people are laying everywhere.Iginla had turned down a trade from Calgary to Boston before being dealt to Pittsburgh because he thought the Penguins had a better chance to win the Cup, but that turned out to be wrong.The Penguins never led in the series.I just didn't play very well, he said. That's when you want to play your best for the team.Iginla and offensive stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin got no points in the series.I don't feel like they totally shut us down, Crosby said. I feel like we got chances, but Michael Kors Handbags made some big saves.McQuaid scored on a 45-foot slap shot from the right over the Vokoun's glove.We were a little sluggish the first two periods, Bruins forward Milan Lucic said, and we said, 'We have to win a period to win a series.'They did just that.The top-seeded Penguins were trying to overcome both the disciplined defense of the fourth-seeded Bruins and history. Only three teams had lost a series after winning the first three games. The last was the Bruins in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia Flyers.The Penguins felt they were put together to win the Stanley Cup. That's our expectation from Day One, coach Dan Bylsma said. You're going to look at this as a missed opportunity.Pittsburgh was swept for the first time in 47 series. The last team to do it to the Penguins was Boston in 1979.The Penguins also lost the first three games of their opening-round series last year against Philadelphia before being eliminated in six games.

Trans-Labrador
Hopkinsville, Kentucky
At a cemetery just outside Hopkinsville, Kentucky, waiting for the world to change. It's 1:29 pm, and if I look through my welding goggles, our bright green sun is slowly being eaten.
I was inspired to pull in because I saw the two bikes, but now I see there are people everywhere among the gravestones and trees.
There are fields on all sides, though I'm not sure of what.
The bite gets bigger, but I am reluctant to stare — I don't think my goggles are strong enough.
Last time I watched a solar eclipse, I used a pinhole projection and traced the shadows on a page. That was only a partial eclipse, though — there hasn't been a total eclipse in the U.S. since 1979. I didn't know that until the other day; I'd almost taken this one for granted.
Nothing has changed yet, down here.
Totality is scheduled for 2:25 pm, EST.
The sun looks like a green cartoon crescent moon.
One of the bikers shows me how it looks through a proper 12 welding glass — mine is less, still too bright. But I have two lenses, so when I pull them out and stack them together, now I've got something.
Lenses off, the light is weird, the grass seems supersaturated, the world on Instagram.
Unreal light now, uncanny shadows. The whole world seems wrong.
The guy from Connecticut lets me look through the welding plate and the crescent looks bright, sharp and glorious.
Someone spots the crescents, and calls out. Every dapple of light fallen through the trees has turned into a pinhole projection of the sliver of the sun. It is unexpected and crazy to see, suddenly we are all running around and looking at the ground and exclaiming, finding glowing crescents everywhere, hundreds, thousands waving on the grass, the pavement, the hoods of cars. It's as if the laws of light no longer apply and have whimsically been rewritten by a wry god. At least, the laws as us monkeys understand them.
It gets darker. It gets colder. Everything gets weirder.
When totality comes, it comes on an exponential curve, not instant but nearly, with a silent "pop." Darker – darker – DARKER – GONE.
The sun is gone and there is a ring in the sky, a halo, and it is not the color of the sun. It is cold, blueish, it seems to be throwing out feathers, faint rays of a holy aura — it's hard to tell.
There are two stars (or planets?) in the sky now, on opposite sides, roughly 2/3 of the way up from the horizon, one in the northeast, one in the southwest.
Some kind of bugs start up in force — katydids, one guy says.
The colors of the sunset ring the graveyard, 360 degrees around us at the horizon — sunset on all the land, the night of another world above us.
Whatever that thing is in the sky, it doesn't belong here.
The thing with the shadows is hard to shake. They get darker, sharper, weirder — fair enough, you can't trust the shadows. But when they fill with crescents — what the fuck? If, during an eclipse, the light through the trees pinhole-cameras the crescent sun, then does that mean it's always doing that — when we think sunlight is just shining through the leaves, is the pattern on the ground actually made up of a thousand suns, bobbing and waving, and we just can't see it? Is a tree shadow really something painted by a thousand microsuns around a negative-space tree? Do we even understand shadows in the first place?
Don't trust the shadows.
Two and a half minutes or so, we hang there in that moment of the weird, frightened and joyous, rapt and confused, trying to see everything, trying to understand.
The world lights up as quickly as it went dark. The crack of light that appears in the edge of the ring is electric blue, or indigo, or indescribable.
Then it becomes the sun, and we can't look at it anymore.
I saw an image of the eclipse on TV afterward, by accident, and I wish I could wipe it out of my head. It's the same old image we've all seen many times, it's the picture of an eclipse. It's on t-shirts, even.
Why is it better,why is it more, to actually see it?
Some things you just have to be there for. Try to describe to someone who's never eaten what's great about food.
An image of a thing is not the thing. Our eyes are stronger than that, they see deeper, and our minds see with more than our eyes. I don't know how many senses deep an eclipse goes, but I'd guess it's most of them, even the ones we haven't named yet.
If you pull back the framing device of science, the mind buckles. You can't even see it coming — the sun is so bright that even when partially eclipsed, you still can't look at it, but if you do it still looks like the sun, still seems like the same flashy-wobbly-pulsing disc. At 1/4 obscured, 1/2, even when there's just a sliver remaining, it still looks like the sun.
In the meantime, though, the world has gotten weird, and you don't know why. the colors have changed, the world has filled with magic, and the shadows have come alive.
If you're really observant, you'll see secret symbols in the shadows, hidden writing that shifts and changes.
Then the world turns to night, the stars come out, and the sun is gone.
What's in it's place is not the sun. It is not the color of the sun — even the ring of light that is there is not of the sun. It's not the moon, because it doesn't look like the moon, and anyway the moon wasn't there a minute ago, there's no reason it would be there now.
What's there is a holy ring cast by an angry god, a ring of unknown portent. Or it's a dark eye that has fallen out of hyperspace, the darkest eye, ringed with light unlike any you have ever seen, but in general character no unlike an iris.
I loved our little graveyard crew, just the right mix of solitary and sharing, quiet and thrilled. We kept to ourselves, and we shared information and experienced this together, all at the same time. It was just the right size and just the right place.
I saw the eclipse and I couldn't tell you how big it was or how long it lasted; if I'd been a scribe tasked with recording it, I'd have fucked it all up.
I swear our group was on the verge of screaming the whole time.
It's a taste of what it would be like to stand on an alien world, an Earth-like world that isn't Earth, where the colors are different because the spectrum of light is different because what's in the sky is different.
Your cell phone can't photograph this, so put it down. Set aside everything else, too. We're going someplace new, and you can't bring much with you.

We are halfway through this years Super Rugby competition and I am between a rock and a hard place on where we could see out teams ending.
Luckily due to the crooked SANZAAR system we will atleast have one team in the playoffs. The conference winner will automatically be awarded a home quarter final spot.
Now the rest of the spots are for the teams with the highest log position overall meaning from four to eight will get into the playoffs.
At the moment the way our teams are performing it looks more likely that we will only have one team in that playoffs but we can even loose that if the Jaguares manage to end on the top spot in our conference.
Here is what the teams have left for the season.
Reds(H) Stormers(A), Waratahs(H), Crusaders(H), Rebels(A), Brumbies(A), Blues(A), Highlanders(A) and Lions(H).
The Sharks have for now the top spot but they still have to tour and they will have to face the Tahs, Saders, Chiefs and Jaguares on the road.
They also have the Stormers away at Newlands and with their inconsistency again this year it is up to the betting men and woman to back them staying on top.
They will have to win these home games which lately seems a problem for the Durban outfit.
They will also have to target atleast two wins overseas as well.
The Lions also have still a tough schedule with Brumbies, Chiefs Crusaders and Waratahs on tour.
The best case for them looks to target the Brumbies and Chiefs, but both teams have been improving the last couple of weeks and at home they will be a s difficult as the Crusaders and Tahs.
I just can not see the Stormers getting close to the playoffs. They will have to almost win all their games to catch up as this weekend looks like another defeat against the Rebels.
The Bulls will also struggle for me to get into the playoffs and need to win some away games to get in. With the current injury list of the Bulls I just can not see them staying with the leading pack.
So at the end we have the Lions and Sharks that looks the best options to make the playoffs, but not even that is a given.

8mins Hank Azaria will no longer voice Apu on The Simpsons
Manpreet Kaur banned for four years
Kolkata, April 09, 2019 22:29 IST

A National Anti-Doping Agency disciplinary panel has handed a four-year suspension to Asian champion woman shot putter Manpreet Kaur for testing positive on four occasions over 84 days in 2017.
Manpreet had returned positive tests for an anabolic steroid (metenolone) in the Asian Grand Prix (in Jinhua, China, April 24) and for a stimulant (dimephylbutylamine) in the Federation Cup (Patiala, June 1), Asian championships (Bhubaneswar, July 6) and National inter-state championships (Guntur, July 16).
Considering the four adverse analytical findings as one anti-doping rule violation, the panel rejected the athlete's plea of sabotage and contamination of food supplements on the ground that she "has failed to establish the way in which the prohibited substance entered her body".
Also, the panel, in its order on March 29, did not find any "exceptional circumstances and/ or evidence submitted which could justify the assumption of the lack of intention".
The panel suspended Manpreet from July 20, 2017, the date of her provisional suspension, and ordered disqualification of all her competitive results, including her National mark of 18.86m achieved in Jinhua, from the date of sample collection.
Manpreet has appealed for a reduction of her period of suspension. However, she will still lose all her results in the above mentioned period.

Q: How to get Signed 32-bit integer place value number mathematically? I have a number (ideally I would like to do this for any place value).
Int32 _num = 2147483647;

And I would like to get the millions place value (7)?
I can sell out and say
 Int32 _num = 2147483647;
 string str_num = _num.ToString().Substring(3).Remove(1);

Or,
int millions = (_num / 1000000) % 10;

There must be a way to get the 7 in the millions spot without doing any Substrings,Removes or Modulus ?

A: Like this:
int millions = (_num / 1000000) % 10;

A: You can divide, and then just get the ten. (2147483647 / 1000000) % 10

A: Since the question was changed to not include the modulus operator:
(num / 1000000) - (num / 10000000)*10

Though since that involves extra operations, it is more expensive that just using % and less intuitive.

"The House with the Stained-Glass Window" by Żanna Słoniowska: On the Changing City of Lviv, a Family and Art
I have mentioned two books by MacLehose Press before—In the Café of Lost Youth by Patrick Modiano and The Sorrows of Mexico: An Indictment of their Country's Failings by 7 Exceptional Writers—both were amazing. The same publishing house recently released a book called The House with the Stained-Glass Window by Polish novelist and journalist Żanna Słoniowska (translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones).
Słoniowska was born in Lviv, Ukraine in 1978, and attended the Ukrainian Academy of Printing. She moved to Poland in 2002. She lives in Krakow and (I suppose) holds a doctorate from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Warsaw. She is the winner of at least two big Polish awards: Znak Publishers' Literary Prize and the Conrad Award.
The House with the Stained-Glass Window by Żanna Słoniowska translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones (2017, MacLehose Press)
The House with the Stained-Glass Window is a very well-written novel, and a little complicated, which is why I feel I must share the official description:
In 1989, Marianna, the beautiful star soprano at the Lviv opera, is shot dead in the street as she leads the Ukrainian citizens in their protest against Soviet power. Only eleven years old at the time, her daughter tells the story of their family before and after that critical moment – including, ten years later, her own passionate affair with an older, married man.
Just like their home city of Lviv, which stands at the crossroads of nations and cultures, the women in this family have had turbulent lives, scarred by war and political turmoil, but also by their own inability to show each other their feelings. Lyrically told, this is the story of a young girl's emotional, sexual, artistic and political awakening as she matures under the influence of her relatives, her mother's former lover, her city and its fortunes.
Set across a difficult century, The House with the Stained-Glass Window depicts the changing face of Lviv (also known by the names Lwów, Lvov, Lemberg and others) as it is claimed by different political powers—Austria-Hungary, Poland, the Soviet Union, Ukraine. The novel closes in 2014 with the Euromaidan Protests.
Żanna Słoniowska on Authors' Reading Month 2016, Wrocław, Poland by User "Rafał Komorowski", CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikipedia
Entangled in these currents are four women—Marianna the opera singer, Marianna's daughter (a painter), Marianna's mother and Marianna's grandmother. They hardly come across as being terrifically brave or pure. They are messy, often struggling with relationships and attachments that go nowhere; they frequently fail to communicate with and convince each other of their passions and deepest desires. But running through the tumult—domestic and social—is the artistic impulse, passing from one generation to another. It is an activity that injects some order into the chaos. And the shining and glittering stained-glass window that hangs in the house of the women of this story becomes something of a redeeming force, pointing out to a sort of transcendence, a state of being that is greater and higher than the surrounding situation.
I would highly recommend this novel to those interested in Central and Eastern Europe—for it is thorough (and over that, luminously poetic) in its examination of the history and culture of this region.
Read a few excerpts:
My great-granma was an unsuccessful opera singer, my granma was an unsuccessful painter, my mother was a successful opera singer, I would be a successful painter, my daughter would be an unsuccessful opera singer or a successful painter, her daughter, depending what my daughter chose, would be either a successful opera singer or a successful painter, lack of success times lack of success equals success, like in mathematics. We are like Russian dolls, one in the belly of another, it's not entirely clear who is inside whom, all that's apparent is who is alive, and who is not, we are like Russian dolls transpierced by a single shot, but I used to think Great-Granma wasn't in this chain. She was an unsuccessful opera singer, so my grandmother is an unsuccessful painter, but my mother, although she was a prima donna, is now dead.

The art school was located in a large residential building; at the time nobody knew that a few years later it would fall into ruin, and everything would be evacuated from it, including the shabby cinema on the ground floor, which would mean it could be quite officially demolished. Soon it would be joined by the Soviet Union, and they'd fall apart in parallel, in a race – nothing could save them from a hideous death right at the heart of the city, though the building would outlive the empire. Just before its demise, the young people would cover it in colourful slogans; later on, the city would miss it, like somebody missing a front tooth, except that no-one would know if the gap it had left was a sad, senile one, or a temporary one between milk and permanent teeth.
"The art school was located in a large residential building; at the time nobody knew that a few years later it would fall into ruin…" (Photo: Pixabay)
The topography of our flat was fixed for good: just as the seas, mountains and deserts never change their position on the map, so the position of the furniture, fittings and domestic appliances was immovable in our house. This permanence of objects was probably a response to the instability of human fate.
"…just as the seas, mountains and deserts never change their position on the map…" (Photo: Pixabay)
"…For me, the stained-glass window on your stairwell is the city's final cultural membrane. If that tears, nothing is going to save it."

Q: midi2audio/FluidSynth: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified I am using the python package midi2audio to translate a midi file into a WAV.
Running:
filepath = 'C:/Users/Jack/Documents/GaTech/Research/Code/Data/Midi/C4/test12.mid'
soundfont = 'C:/Users/Jack/Downloads/weedsgm3.sf2'
fs = FluidSynth(soundfont)

if os.path.isfile(filepath):
   print('The File Exists')
else:
   print('The File does not exist')

fs.midi_to_audio(filepath, 'output.wav')

Outputs:
The File Exists
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

To be clear the error is referencing the file specified in filepath and not soundfont. There is little documentation on the package so I am not sure what to do.
Has anyone with experience with midi2audio experienced the same issue and know what is the root of the problem?

A: fs = FluidSynth()

This creates a FluidSynth object, with the default values for all the constructor's parameters.
FluidSynth(sample_rate=22050)

This creates a second FluidSynth object. The object reference is not assigned to any variable, so it is thrown away immediately.
FluidSynth(soundfont)

And a third object.
fs.midi_to_audio(filepath, 'output.wav')

The object referenced by fs uses the default sound font and the default sample rate.
You have to give all the parameters to the constructor at once:
fs = FluidSynth(sound_font=soundfont, sample_rate=22050)

(And it might be a good idea to specify the full path to the output file.)

World's first fully interactive virtual museum is just a click away
The Virtual Online Museum of Art is open all the time and from anywhere in the world
Sunday, December 13, 2020 By Christy Yoong
While art institutions across the world have developed virtual spaces to contend with the restrictions resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, the Virtual Online Museum of Art (VOMA), which opened in August, lets you visit anytime and from anywhere.
Curated by London-based art dealer Lee Cavaliere, the digital space features masterpieces on loan from international institutions such as Musée d'Orsay, Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. Among the art works you will 'find' in this fully interactive virtual museum are Édouard Manet's Olympia, currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights and Caravaggio's The Incredulity of Saint Thomas.
Each artwork is presented in high resolution and accompanied by related media and references to enrich your visit. VOMA also plans to present commissioned artworks by international contemporary artists as part of its newly-launched Digital Firsts Commission Programme. The inaugural recipient of the Digital Firsts Commission, Kenya-born multimedia artist Phoebe Boswell, will debut her latest piece along with a soundscape by Scottish-Nigerian singer-songwriter Bumi Thomas in VOMA's Artist Space.
British artist Stuart Semple, who conceived VOMA, said in a statement: "I believe art should be for everyone. The Internet is the most inclusive and democratic public space we have, and it's time we had a digital museum-style institution ready to inspire and connect online audiences with great art,"
Semple partnered with a global team of architects, CGI designers, gaming experts and curators to create a digital building that can adapt to any specific time zone or geographic location. Additionally, a community feature also gives you the opportunity to see routes taken by other visitors, read their reviews and even link up with friends visiting at the same time.
