The Peerless Prognosticator is ON THE AIR!!! -- Game 70: Capitals at Penguins, March 12th
The Washington Capitals embark on their penultimate road trip of the season this week, and where better to start it than a trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins? Tuesday's meetings of the clubs will be the fourth and final meeting of the regular season. In the three games to date, the Caps have a 1-1-1 record, all three games settled by a single goal. If history is a guide, the game in Pittsburgh will feature wide open offense. In the last six games in Steel City, the winning team had six or more goals four times (the Penguins in each instance), and the teams combined for 55 goals, the Pens enjoying a 31-24 margin.
If the Caps are going to end this trend, this club seems best positioned to do it, going into the contest on a seven-game winning streak and allowing only 14 goals in the process. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is slowly cementing their place in the postseason. The Pens are 5-1-1 in their last seven games, including a win over the Boston Bruins on Sunday night that ended the Bruins' points streak at 19 games, pushing them into third place in the Metropolitan Division and four points clear of the ninth-place Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Pittsburgh has been a good, if not especially dominant team on home ice this season. They are one of 11 teams with 20 wins on home ice, but their 20-12-2 record is tied for 12th in standing points earned with four other teams. The 117 goals scored on home ice ranks ninth in the league. Of that goal total, Jake Guentzel has 18, far and away the leading goal scorer for the club on home ice this season (five more than Phil Kessel). He certainly has a knack for finding the back of the net, dating back to his days at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where he posted 42 goals in 108 games over three seasons. He moved up to record 23 goals in 44 games over two seasons with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL.
Guentzel has not missed a beat with the big club, putting up 72 goals in 191 games over three seasons. His 34 goals this season shattered the career-best he recorded last season (22). He has been clutch, too, posting another 23 goals in only 37 postseason games with the Pens, seven of those being game-winners. He will bear watching in this games, since the Pens are 9-2-2 in the 13 games in which he scored a goal on home ice this season. That includes a pair of goals against the Caps in a 7-6 overtime win in the Pens' season opener on October 4th. Guentzel is 2-4-6, even, in eight career games against Washington.
Injuries have plagued the Penguin defense this season. Of the 69 games played by Pittsburgh to date, only three defensemen have dressed for 60 or more games, and only one – Jack Johnson – has dressed for all of them. Johnson is among the more controversial free agent signings in recent years, if by "controversial," one means "what were they thinking?" What would possess a team to sign a 31-year old defenseman to a five-year/$16.25 million contract, coming off an 11-point season (in 77 games) with a career plus-minus rating of minus-109 and iffy performance metrics? Surely, Pens fans had issues with the deal.
One thing that Johnson could provide, and has provided, is durability. In each of his first 11 seasons he averaged more than 20 minutes per game and more than 23 minutes per game in the 711 games in which he appeared. Last season, his last of seven seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets, was the first in which he dipped below 20 minutes per game (19:33). But he remains a comparatively weak possession player, continuing an uninterrupted string of seasons in his NHL career under 50 percent in shot attempts-for percentage at even strength and in minus relative Corsi-for at even strength for the 12th time in 13 seasons. And, his plus-minus at the game-to-game level is a confirming indicator of success in that the results are unsurprising. Pittsburgh is 20-0-2 in the 22 games in which he was a plus player, 3-15-4 in the 22 games in which he was a minus player. Johnson is 5-9-14, minus-4, in 27 career games against the Caps.
Matt Murray fits squarely in the middle of the rankings of NHL goaltenders this season. His 2.77 goals against average ranks 17th among 35 goalies with at least 1,750 minutes played, and his .917 save percentage ranks ninth in that group. Those numbers square with his career 2.63 goals against average and his .917 save percentage. But he has had his ups and down. Six times in 38 appearances he allowed five or more goals, while 11 times he has allowed one or fewer, including four shutouts that ties a career high.
If Murray gets the call for this game, it will be his 150th NHL game, and he will become the eighth goaltender in Penguin history to reach that mark. He already ranks fourth on the all-time franchise list in wins (91), despite this being only his fourth season with the club. That .917 career save percentage ranks first in franchise history among Penguin goalies with at least 50 games played, and his 2.63 goals against average ranks third in that group, behind Marc-Andre Fleury (2.58) and Brent Johnson (2.61). Murray has been hot over the last month, going 8-2-2, 2.37, .932, with one shutout in 12 appearances. On the other hand, his home record this season leaves something to be desired. He is 10-8-0, 3.26, .902, with two shutouts on home ice this season. In ten career appearances against the Capitals, Murray is 6-4-0, 3.62, .885.
1. Pittsburgh has had some odd struggles with numbers at home. The 106 goals allowed is sixth-most on home ice this season, and they have been out-shot at home, 1168-1117.
2. The Pens have an odd special teams double. They have the fifth-worst penalty kill on home ice this season (75.3 percent), and no team has allowed more shorthanded goals against on home ice (seven). On the latter number, they also have seven shorthanded goals scored on home ice, second most in the league.
3. Pittsburgh has taken 11 major penalties on home ice this season. Only Boston has taken more on home ice (16).
4. Has Pittsburgh become a "heavy" team, or are they getting the benefit of generous hometown scoring? Whether one or the other, they have been credited with 1,163 hits this season on home ice, most in the league, and by a wide margin (Vegas has 1,101 in one more game played).
5. No team has recorded fewer one-goal decisions on home ice this season than the Pens. They have done so nine times (tied with Columbus and Los Angeles) and have posted a 5-2-2 record in those games. They have won four of their last five one-goal decisions at home, two of them in overtime.
1. The Caps have 11 decisions by one goal on the road this season, tied for fifth-fewest in the league. They are 9-0-2 in those games, including a 7-6 overtime loss to the Pens in October. They are one of four teams this season not to have lost a one-goal decision in regulation on the road.
2. Washington could stand to be tighter with the puck on the road. They have been charged with 377 giveaways away from home, second-highest total in the league (Florida: 399).
3. Only Tampa Bay has a better shooting percentage on the road this season (11.0 percent) than the Caps (10.9 percent).
4. Only Los Angeles and Dallas have had fewer power play chances in road games (84 apiece) than the Caps this season (85).
5. Washington has 94 even strength goals scored in 34 road games, the second-highest total of even strength goals scored on the road this season (Toronto: 97). Only Carolina and Nashville have more empty net goals scored on the road (eight and nine, respectively) than the Caps (seven, tied with three other teams).
Pittsburgh: Phil Kessel
Phil Kessel is one of the top goal scorers of his era. Since he came into the league in the 2006-2007 season, he is one of ten players with 350 or more goals, tied for ninth on the list with Chicago's Patrick Kane (352). Only three players over that span have more seasons with at least 30 goals than Kessel (six): Alex Ovechkin (13), Sidney Crosby (eight), and Jarome Iginla (seven). The odd part of all of that goal scoring prowess is that Kessel has never had a 40-goal season, hitting 37 goals twice, in 2011-2012 and in 2013-2014, both with Toronto. The strangeness extends to his stay in Pittsburgh. He is on a pace to finish this season with 26 goals, which would make three seasons in four that he did not reach the 30-goal mark.
But dig a bit deeper into those numbers. What he has sacrificed in his goal totals, he has more than made up for in his power play assists. His next power play helper will be his 20th this season and would give him three straight seasons with 20 or more power play assists. Before that streak, he never had more than 17 power play assists in 10 seasons. That puts him in a position to finish the season with at least 70 points (he has 68), which would be the fifth time he topped that number and the third with the Penguins. He has had some problems lately, though, going 1-10-11, minus-8, over his last 18 games. When he scored a goal against Columbus last Thursday, it snapped a 16-game streak without a goal. Kessel is 11-21-32, minus-7, in 46 career games against the Capitals.
Washington: Braden Holtby
In one respect, goaltender Braden Holtby has had a bounceback year from last season. Last year, he had an even strength save percentage of .914, the worst of his career. So far this season, he has an even strength save percentage of .920. It is not at the level he produced in his first seven seasons, over which he did not have a season with an even strength save percentage under .928, but it is an improvement. On the other hand, his shorthanded save percentage of .840 is his worst since 2011-2012, and in that season he faced only 25 shots while shorthanded.
There is something else to consider over the arc of his career as the season is winding down. Holtby is unbeaten in four decisions in March so far. He has stopped 94 of 100 shots, that .940 save percentage being his best March of his career since his first season (.962 in six games) and a considerable improvement over the .897 save percentage he posted last March, the worst of his career. It is part of a longer run of solid play for Holtby, who is 8-4-1, 2.31, .925, with one shutout over his last 13 appearances. He could use some of that high-end performance in this game. The Pens are the only team in the league against which Holtby has suffered ten regular season losses in regulation. He is 9-10-3, 2.96, .911, with two shutouts in 23 career games against Pittsburgh.
We should be long past the whole "Ovechkin vs. Crosby" angle in this series, but that is always going to be the headline theme as long as Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby skate for these teams. But so often, these contests, both in the regular season and in the playoffs, turn on the efforts of the support players. Consider that over the last two seasons, John Carlson is tied with Ovechkin for the team lead in points against Pittsburgh (seven), and even as an unlikely a source as defenseman Christian Djoos is tied for fifth on the team in points against the Pens (four). On the other side, one should not overlook those such as Patric Hornqvist (five points), Bryan Rust (four) or Justin Schultz (three) in the seven games played between the teams. Winning is a team effort in which the stars shine, but also a product of contributions up and down the roster. Both of these teams share that trait. It is one of the things that makes this rivalry so compelling.

International Game Technology (IGT) has announced the publication of its 11th annual Sustainability Report, demonstrating its drive to create value globally, increase its socially responsible corporate citizenship, and report on its activities transparently.
This year's report features 2017 data showing IGT's achievements in generating value for each of its stakeholder groups, including employees, customers, communities, and suppliers. Among the key issues highlighted in the report is 'Fostering Responsible Gaming' which IGT described as vital to the sustainability of the industry and the safety of players. "To support safe and responsible gaming environments, IGT adopts industry best practices and applies international standards," said the report.
The company's responsible gaming goals include promoting protective tools to prevent problem gambling; supporting responsible gaming organisations that address problem gambling; and preventing underage gambling. The report also describes how IGT's products, systems, and portals include player protection and security tools to safeguard player interests and address regulators' concerns.
The report applies the latest Sustainability Reporting Standards issued by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which are the most widespread international standards used by organisations to report their sustainability impact and performance. These standards require submission and analysis of comprehensive data regarding a wide range of corporate social responsibility indicators. In addition, IGT voluntarily retained independent third-party auditor EY for a limited assurance engagement to verify the contents of the report.
The 2017 report is available here.

Ubuntu is about showing humanity to one another: it captures the spirit of being human.
As a productive, happy and agile community, we welcome new ideas in our complex and challenging work field. We seek to improve every day, creating the future while learning in the present from the past. We foster collaboration between groups of different needs, interests and skills. Diversity makes us stronger and unites us. And we seek collaboration from those who enhance that diversity.
Our Code of Conduct exists to ensure that the diversity we stand for leads to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge all prejudices that could jeopardise the participation of any person within or connected to our community and work.
Our Code of Conduct is a guideline on how to behave in public and in private whenever our actions at work or the choices we make privately, will be judged. And judged they will be. We expect the behaviour embraced in our code to be honoured by everyone who represents GreenDreamCompany formally and informally, everyone who claims affiliation with us and everyone who participates directly with us.
Everything we do affects others. Others rely upon our activities, as we in return depend on the work of others. We are part of a chain. Every decision can be taken reasonably independently, but when making decisions we should consider the effect on our colleagues and all others involved.
The contribution of every colleague and everyone involved is very important. Disagreement is no excuse for poor manners. We work together to resolve conflicts, assume good intentions and do our best to act in an emphatic fashion. We do not allow frustration to turn into personal attacks. A community where people feel uncomfortable or even threatened is not a productive one.
It is better to do something and make a mistake than it is to opt to do nothing. When we make mistakes, we take responsibility for them. If someone has been harmed or offended, we listen carefully and respectfully, and work to right the wrong.
What we create, is the sum of many dreams. We cannot achieve this alone. It needs collaboration between a diversity of disciplines and teams that also have their own goals and visions.
The total creation is the result of the sum of many parts and the added value of the collaboration. Therefore each part needs to know and understand their own contribution and its importance to the whole. Collaboration improves the quality of our work. Internally and externally, we celebrate good collaboration. Openness, transparency and communication are vital. Informing the public in a manner that allows them to be connected and contribute is also important.
Disagreements, social and technical, are part of life. Also within organizations. Constructive disagreements are very useful, best ideas often come from a different point of view. Nonconstructive disagreements are not welcome. We expect our community to resolve disagreements by seeking advice from colleagues. If they cannot solve the issue, the matter will be scaled to the leaders, who can mediate and provide clarity and direction.
Nobody is expected to be perfect in our community. Consulting colleagues in early stages avoids many problems later, so questions are encouraged. We expect all to be responsive and helpful if requested to advise; next time it could be you seeking consultation.
When somebody leaves the company, or the project is being handed over to another colleague, even for a holiday period or temporary leave, we ask that this is done in a way that minimizes disruption or delay to our projects. Notice should be given in advance and time taken to create a smooth handover to a colleague.
We all lead by example, in debate and in action. We encourage new members of our community to feel empowered to lead to take action, and to experiment when they feel innovation could improve work and projects. Leadership can be exercised by anyone simply by taking action, there is no need to wait for formal recognition when the opportunity to lead in a respectful and constructive way presents itself.
Leadership is not an award, right or title: it is a privilege, a responsibility and a mandate. A leader will only retain their authority as long as they retain the support of those who delegated that authority to them. We delegate decision making, governance and leadership from all our departments, to the most able and engaged colleagues.
We gather opinions, data and commitments from concerned parties before taking a decision. We expect leaders to help teams come to a decision in a reasonable time, to seek guidance or be willing to take the decision themselves when consensus is lacking and to take responsibility for implementation. There is no guarantee of making a perfect decision every time. We prefer to err, to learn, and to err less in the future, than to postpone action indefinitely.
We recognize that a project works better when we trust the teams closest to a problem to make the decision required to resolve the problem. Ultimately, if a decision taken by those with the responsibility is supported by the project governance, it will stand. None of us expects to agree with every decision, and we value highly the ability to stand by the project and help it deliver even on the occasion when we ourselves may personally prefer a different route.
A leader's foremost goal is the success of the team. A leader is being judged by the success of the team. A leader knows when to act and when to step back. They know when to delegate and when to take it upon themselves.
A good leader does not seek the limelight, but celebrates team members for the work they do. Leaders may be more visible than members of the team; good leaders use that visibility to highlight the great work of others.
Leadership occasionally requires bold decisions that will not be widely understood, consensual or popular. We value the courage to take such decisions where they enable projects to move forward faster than they could if complete consensus was required. Nevertheless, boldness demands consideration: take bold decisions, but do so mindful of the challenges they present for others and work to soften adverse impacts. Early and clear communication of changes and the reasons for them is as important as the implementation of the change itself.
We expect all to be aware when they may be conflicted due to employment, projects, investments or other activities they are involved in, abstaining from or delegating decisions that may be seen to be self-interested. We expect all, and leaders especially, to act with the goal of making life better for all involved.
Where there is even just the possibility of a conflict of interest being perceived, details should be shared with Ubuntu Impact Investments. When in doubt, ask for a second opinion. Perceived conflicts of interests are as important to address as actual conflicts of interest. As the qualified decision maker, act to ensure that decisions are credible even if they must occasionally be unpopular, difficult or more favorable to the interests of one group over another.
This Code is neither exhaustive nor complete. It is not a rulebook. It serves to distil our common understanding of a collaborative, shared environment and goals. We expect it to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter.

A monastery in a valley referred to as the "Valley of Happiness", situated at the confluence of the Želivka and Trnávka Rivers, was founded by Přemyslid Prince Soběslav I and his wife Adléta in 1139 for Benedictine monks who came from the Sázava monastery.
Želiv 122
39444 Želiv
region Pelhřimov
www.zeliv.eu
Not long after, they were replaced by Premonstratensian monks. The turbulent times of the Hussite wars brought about sieges and exploitation of the monastery. Subsequently, when the monastery was seized by the Trčkas of Lípa, Trčkův Castle, which is still there today, was built.
Religious life was restored in Želiv in 1622 and the monastery resumed its three original missions: spiritual, cultural, and economic. Redevelopment after another devastating fire that occurred in 1712 was undertaken by Jan Santini Aichel. An essential part of the monastery is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, with two towers on the facade and a valuace Baroque interior décor.
In 1950, the communists closed the monastery down and interned 464 priests and monks there; their names have been inscribed on the monastery's walls since 2013. The monastic community resumed its work in 1991. Today, the monastery offers not only religious services, but also takes visitors on tours of the grounds, provides accommodation and even brews its own beer. A unique experience is taking a tour of the local brewery.

Understanding God's Grace and Kindness has everything to do with how we view life, and how we treat people as we reach our world.
Our presentation and our demonstration of the Good News is based on our perception of God's nature and character—how we view, experience, and see Him.
If we only see Him as a severe God…we may have a tendency to be severe toward ourselves and others.
If we only see Him as kind we may not have proper honor for God's holiness and nature.
We hold these truths in tension. If we were to choose which side to fall upon it would be to fall upon the merciful kind side. All who fell at the feet of Jesus received mercy, grace, salvation, and healing.
The Principle—Freely give, as you have received. Have we received love, mercy, and forgiveness? Then we should willingly, and gracefully, extend His love and kindness to others.

2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty - What's New?
If you love or just need a heavy-duty truck for work or play, the odds are good you've driven a Ford at some point. Ford trucks simply do everything better and for that matter… bigger! It comes as no surprise to Southern California Ford Dealers that the upcoming 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty will be packed with next-level power, capability, and technology. Though it won't hit showrooms until later in the fall, we thought this would be a perfect time to take a first look at the heavy-duty truck that is sure to make some serious waves across Southern California.
Powertrain Upgrades
The 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty, which will come with three engine options, picks up where the 2019 models left off when it comes to power. Returning for 2020 are the 6.2-liter are the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 engines. The 6.7-liter Power Stroke gets an upgrade with a new 36,000-psi fuel
injection system with all-new injectors that will help deliver more power and torque while controlling noise levels and optimizing combustion. The big news is the addition of the all-new Ford-designed and Ford-built 7.3-liter V8 engine. This new engine, which will come with all-new cam-in-block, overhead valve architecture, will be the most powerful gas V8 in its class, and rumor has it, it could even exceed 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque. No matter which engine you chose, you'll be able to pair it with the all-new 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. This transmission promises a wider gear ratio span that will be able to handle even the most challenging towing conditions. It will also come with selectable drive modes including normal, tow/haul, slippery, and deep sand and snow. Speaking of towing, initial reports say that the 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty will offer its highest-ever conventional, gooseneck, and fifth-wheel towing and payload ratings ever.
Technology to Improve Productivity
At Southern California Ford Dealers, we've always respected the fact that Ford doesn't add technology to their trucks just to prove they can. The 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty continues that trend by adding some exciting new hi-tech features that help increase productivity. Perhaps the most impressive addition for 2020 is the class-exclusive new Pro Trailer Backup Assist. This modern tool helps owners tow larger trailers with accuracy and ease. Drivers can take their hands off the wheel and use the Pro Trailer Backup Assist knob and the standard reverse camera to guide trailers on the street or at the worksite. This new feature will work in combination with all trailer styles, even the always-challenging gooseneck trailers. Other major available and standard driver-assist technology features include:
FordPass Connect with embedded 4G LTE modem with Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices,
Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage monitors
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Wireless charging and USB-C ports
Style Upgrades
When it comes to style, the 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty will not disappoint. You'll be the envy of all your friends and co-workers thanks to the uniquely designed high-airflow grille, LED headlamps, and a bold new bumper. The interior of the 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty will feature available Onyx Argento wood, leather-wrapped instrument panel topper, wrapped door armrests, and Miko suede headliner.
How Southern California Ford Dealers Can Help
While we don't have all the final specs about the 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty, we believe that it will be at the top of the 2020 heavy-duty truck class. To learn more about what to expect from this or any of the other 2020 Ford trucks, feel free to contact your local Southern California Ford Dealers.

Impact Energies has been acquired by Persistent Energy Partners, a party to the former E+Co.. Impact Energies works to supply "nano-loans" for small-scale solar systems, like solar lanterns in Ghana. It is estimated that the value of the acquisition was seven figures, which is an indicator of the increased value of small-scale solar companies in underserved markets.
A new solar model is proving to be successful with consumers as well as investors in Kenya. M-Kopa Solar, a solar system that specializes in supplying renewable energy to off grid households, has secured a Ksh 1.72 billion debt facility (almost $20M USD) from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation among others. In addition, M-KOPA Solar is partnering with Safaricom to expand payment options through M-PESA.
For-profit social enterprise d.light has announced the completion of an $11 million Series C financing. The company manufactures and distributes solar lighting and power products in the developing world. With a compilation of large impact investors contributing to their funding, d.light has raised a total of $40 million in capital from some of the biggest name investors in impact investing, including Acumen Fund and Omidyar Network.
Our portfolio company, Simpa Networks, which raised $2M from Asian Development Bank and others last year, has built its brand around innovative product financing that makes solar energy affordable to BoP consumers. After a small initial down payment for the solar system, customers activate the system in small incremental payments until the full price is paid off and the energy is free for the rest of its life. Based on this method of "solar leases", Simpa Networks is able to deliver reliable renewable energy to low-income households and maintain a sustainable business model. We're pleased to see Simpa recognized for its innovation on global platforms like The Guardian.

The Rockfordian who changed history
Unless you're a schoolkid or an archaeologist, you probably have never heard of James Henry Breasted—or at least, you've forgotten who he was and that's a shame. It's not a shame that you've forgotten, necessarily, but that his contributions to society are largely overlooked. Check out the video below to find out what this famous Rockfordian discovered that changed the world: (Follow Our City, Our Story or the City of Rockford's Vimeo page -where I found this- for more amazi
USS Rockford sunk infamous Japanese Submarine
Before I start, who knew Rockford had a ship named after it?? I mean, it's honestly not that surprising considering our WWII manufacturing hub-ness, but still this is pretty cool. Longer than a football field, the USS Rockford (PF-45) was built in Los Angeles between 1943 and 1944 to serve as a patrol frigate in the Pacific. There, she saw battle time. Only a week after reporting to the Pacific Fleet, on her way to Australia, the USS Rockford spotted a Japanese submarine. She


ehovah remembered what he had told Sarah, and he did as he had promised. So Sarah had a son, and when the child grew up, Abraham made a great feast on the day that he was weaned. But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian and of Abraham playing with her son Isaac. And she said to Abraham, "Drive out this slave girl and her son, for the son of this slave girl shall not be heir with my son Isaac." This request was very displeasing to Abraham because the boy was his son. But Jehovah said to Abraham, "Do not be displeased because of the boy and because of your slave girl. Listen to all that Sarah says to you, for Isaac only and his children shall bear your name. But I will also make of the son of the slave girl a great nation, because he is your son."
Then Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar; and he put the boy upon her shoulder and sent her away. So she set out and wandered in the desert of Beersheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she left the child under one of the desert shrubs and went a short distance away and sat down opposite him, for she said, "Let me not see the child die."
While she sat there, the boy began to cry; and Jehovah heard the cry of the boy, and said, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for Jehovah has heard the cry of the boy. Rise, lift him up, and hold him fast by the hand, for I will make him a great nation." And Jehovah opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. Then she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
And Jehovah cared for the boy; and when he grew up, he lived in the wilderness of Paran and became a bowman. And his mother secured a wife for him from Egypt.

In the 1930s, a small town named Agloe suddenly began appearing on the maps of New York. It was positioned near an unmarked dirt road that led from Roscoe to Rockland, and near to Beaverkill. That road was neither visited by anyone nor was it popularly known, and very few people, if any, outside of the mapmakers' company, knew that the town of Agloe didn't even exist.
Agloe was a copyright trap—a century old trick mapmakers and dictionary makers have been using to catch copycats. When companies create a map, they perform all the hard work on it, including examining the right spellings, placing the cities in the right spot on the map, etc., and they need to protect their work. So they add small traps to the map—a fake street, a fantasy town. When another company steals their map, the original creators are able to take their competitors to court by pointing out the fake places that shouldn't be on the map.
That's what Otto G. Lindberg, director of the General Drafting Co., and his assistant, Ernest Alpers, did in the 1930s when they were making a road map in the state of New York. They created a fictitious place called "Agloe." The name was arrived by mixing the initials of their names.
After a few years, another well-known map organization, Rand McNally issued its native New York state map and in that exact same spot, the made up town 'Agloe' was showcased. Lindberg and Alpers rejoiced at the presence of Agloe on the map—they had caught Rand McNally red-handed, but Rand McNally's lawyers were not amused.
The lawyers stated that their officials visited that very spot and found a building named 'Agloe General Store', which proved the place was real. Later it came to the knowledge that, the store obtained its name from a map distributed by Esso, which in turn was obtained from Lindberg and Alpers. The store owner figured that if Esso declared that place was called Agloe, then they would call their stores the same. And that's how a made-up place became real, but only briefly. 'Agloe General Store' doesn't exist anymore.
Surprisingly, as recently as three years ago, Agloe appeared in Google Maps at the same location as it did more than eighty years ago, but it has since been removed. In 2014, the US Geological Survey unofficially added Agloe to the Geographic Names Information System.

Man Mailed Himself Home in a Box From Australia–Now He's Looking for the Pals Who Helped Him
Brian Robson
Homesickness is a malady with only one known cure. Going home. But sometimes the circumstances are against you. When that happens, people can resort to some pretty bizarre schemes to get themselves back where they long to be.
At age 19, an unhappy Brian Robson was working in Melbourne, Australia but sorely pining for his native Wales. He was so eager to get home, in fact, he had himself loaded into a crate with the goal of being shipped home to Cardiff.
Back in 1964, Robson had signed on for an assisted immigration program. His way was paid by the Australian government and in return, he was committed to a two-year gig with Victorian Railways.
Robson regretted the deal almost immediately, but if he didn't live up to the contract, he'd be obligated to pay back close to GBP800 in expenses spent getting him there.
Not having the dough to repay the debt, Robson had to come up with an alternative solution. He and two of his work buddies, Paul and John, hatched a "top secret" plan of simply mailing him home.
Paul typed up the appropriate freight paperwork. Next, the trio secured a 3'x 3′ x 2′ wooden crate and made sure it had air holes in it so Robson could breathe.
Equipped only with a bottle of water, an empty bottle ("for obvious reasons"), a pillow, hammer, flashlight, and a small bag, Robson settled in for what was to be a 36-hour journey to London, and then on to Cardiff from there via more traditional means of transportation.
After nailing the lid closed, his sidekicks marked the box "FRAGILE" and "THIS SIDE UP" but as with many a best-laid plan, this one was fated to go awry.
Robson soon found himself being handled with anything but care. The three-day trip turned into a marathon five-day odyssey, 24 excruciating hours of which, he spent upside down.
As the grueling ordeal wore on, Robson considered calling it quits, but in the end, decided to soldier on. "I played with the idea for a few seconds and convinced myself, Look, you've done all this. You cannot embarrass yourself now. You're going ahead with it and that's it," Robson told the host CBC's As It Happens Carol Off.
When the pretty much numb Robson finally landed, he found himself not in London, but in Los Angeles, where he managed to alert workers to his presence with the beam of his flashlight.
While severely dehydrated and pretty banged up, when he was released from the confines of his crate, Robson was delighted to have survived the journey.
CHECK OUT: Watch the Lifesaving Moment a Man Topples Backwards Off a Balcony–But a Bystander Catches His Foot
Of course, as an undocumented immigrant arriving via freight, he did get a thorough once over from U.S. officials, but after hearing Robson's tale of homesick blues, he was sent home post-haste–only this time, as a first-class passenger courtesy of Pan American Airline.
"The Americans, the FBI, the CIA, and everything else, they were brilliant. I mean, I fell in love with America, because I've never been treated so well," told Off. "Everybody there really looked after me. And they just thought, Oh, it's this silly kid getting himself into trouble."
Once home, Robson's story did receive its share of press, but he refused to reveal the names of his accomplices because he didn't want to get them in hot water. Now, however, with the debut of a book chronicling his adventures The Crate Escape out next month from Austin Macauley Publishers, Robson believes that statute of limitations has likely expired on anything criminal, and he'd love to get back together with his old mates to share a pint.
The trouble is, he can't remember his buddies' last names. Robson said he tried to contact his mates once he'd gotten home, but never heard back. "I really don't remember where they came from in Ireland," Robson told the BBC. "We used to joke about their wonderful Irish accents. They were both the same age as me. I know they went to school together in Ireland but memories fade over 56 years. I mean, they know how I got on. They must have done because the publicity was worldwide but I have no idea what happened to them."
Now that the cat is finally out of the bag, Robson is hopeful for a reunion. "If I met them again, I'd just like to say that I'm sorry I got them into this and that I missed them when I came back," he told the BBC. "I'd like to buy them a drink."
While shipping yourself home in a crate is certainly a unique and highly unrecommended mode of travel, the same year that Robson stowed away as cargo, an Australian stranded in London pulled off the stunt in reverse.

After washing out at the Olympic tryouts, to add insult to injury, javelin thrower Reg Spiers had his wallet stolen. Flat broke, he enlisted the help of a friend to mail himself home–collect–in a slightly larger box than Robson's, with interior straps to keep him secure.
Suffering only one brutal layover in Mumbai, Spiers arrived in Perth 36 hours later, hardly worse for the wear. After exiting the crate and the airport–pinching a beer along the way–he put on a fresh suit of clothes and hitchhiked home.

I truly feel that no-one else could have done what you did, under difficult circumstances, and produced the same final production.
We decided to use your service over the two other funeral videographer I phoned as you just seemed to care more about how this was affecting us as a family. That compassion you showed from the first call and as I came to know you and your passion to help families going through the worst time of their lives, was evident from the first call I made to you.
On the day you were so conscientious, discreet, supportive and you captured so many things. The editing was truly a masterpiece and we have something we can look back on not only to watch the funeral but the special family good times videos what we're added in by you. I truly feel that no one else could have done what you did, under difficult circumstances, and produced the same final production.
From the bottom of our heart. You have our thanks.

The Offshore Raiding Craft (ORC) is a small, fast boat used by the Royal Marines for troop insertion, and patrols. The ORC is primarily used when undertaking strategic raiding missions, where speed and covertness is desired. However, it is equally capable when conducting larger scale amphibious operations alongside the larger and more traditional LCACs, LCUs and LCVPs.

There are two variants of the ORC:
 Mid Console Variant (MCV),  the Fire Support Variant
 Aft Console Variant (ACV),  the Troop Carrying Variant

No one could argue that Wilson Pickett was not one of the top soul singers of the 60's. He was born in Prattville, Alabama in 1941 and sang in gospel groups both before and after he moved to Detroit with his family at age 14. In 1961 he was recruited by a local R&B group known as The Falcons and stayed with them for two years before venturing off on his own. After recording some songs that were minor hits with Lloyd Price's Double-'L label, he signed with Atlantic Records. Initially meeting with little success, Jerry Wexler of Atlantic sent him to Memphis to work with producer and guitar player Steve Cropper at Stax Records.
In Memphis Wilson Pickett began to sing with one of the top back-up groups of all-time, Booker T and the MG's. A short time later, in 1965 he reached the pop charts with his first successful crossover In The Midnight Hour, which he co-wrote with Steve Cropper. Cropper and Eddie Floyd gave him his next hit song: 634-5789 [Soulsville USA], and he was on his way.
Picking up the nickname "The Wicked Pickett," next up was a cover of Land Of 1000 Dances, which proved to be his most successful record on the pop charts [he continued to be huge on the R&B charts as well]. He recorded songs in Memphis, in Muscle Shoals and in Miami. In 1967 his Funky Broadway went top ten.
The Wicked Pickett recorded many, many songs, among them Mustang Sally in 1966 and Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You as late as 1971. He was hugely popular on the R&B Charts and had a great deal of success on the pop charts as well, although he never had a #1 pop song.
Wilson Pickett took his rightful position in the Rock-and-Roll Hall Of Fame in 1991. Later in life he suffered from some health problems and died from a heart attack on January 19, 2006.

Annexation gasification: will there be enough Crimea, the Russian gas?
December 29, 2016 IMMEconomics
Annexed Crimea on December 27 annexed to the gas transportation system of Russia through a pipeline across the Kerch Strait. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that four years on the Peninsula will be built and rekonstruiruet 70 kilometers of pipelines, two and a half thousand of gas pipelines and eight pumping stations. According to him, it needs to provide the energy needs of the Peninsula.
Member of the Supervisory Board of the Ukrainian Institute of energy strategies Yuriy Korolchuk believes that Russia is supplying gas to Crimea, actually trying to solve the problem with electricity:
— In the Crimea has traditionally used natural gas for industry, heating of apartments and private houses. Ukraine supplied about one billion cubic meters, and is extracted "Chernomorneftegaz". Before the annexation, the company reached the figure of two billion cubic meters, that is, in fact, in 2013, the Crimea became self-sufficient in terms of gas. Now Chernomorneftegaz reduces oil on the continental shelf of the Black sea, and deliveries from Russia are planning to increase. It's cheaper than to invest in the development of new deposits, and after the energy blockade of the Russian gas is needed primarily for work heat and energy supply of the Crimea.
Yuri Korolchuk said that Moscow does not skimp on energy "gifts" for Crimea for more important reasons than the comfort of the Crimeans:
— If we take into account of the laying of the supply cable on the bottom of the Kerch Strait, Russia has invested in "energy independence" of the Crimea, about 700-800 million dollars. In addition, it is necessary to create the infrastructure on the Peninsula to both gas and electricity was much feeding, and the process is ongoing. Russia is important to show that the supply of Crimea for her important and successful project that it is implemented to the end. This question, of course, not economic and not social and political, a question of prestige.
The Deputy of the Kremlin-controlled Crimean Parliament Pyotr Zaporozhets: "I believe that the budget deficit is one such moment — gasification of the Crimea. Putin said it would be until 2020 to keep on monitoring the gasification, but in the budget it laid a total of 83 million rubles. This is a strange disproportion. Either the money is provided in the Russian budget, or the funds will be allocated on the basis of a surplus in our budget."
A leading analyst of the Russian national energy security Fund Igor Yushkov recalled that Russia has long been ready to supply gas to the South:
— The supply of the Crimea will not lead to deficit for the South of Russia, because there, and so were preparing infrastructure for the pumping of gas via the Turkish stream: straight from the Yamal Peninsula to Anapa brought a capacity of 32 billion cubic meters. In fact, the gas pipeline to Crimea is just his branch. In such circumstances, to produce more gas from Black sea shelf really too difficult and expensive. In Russia itself to remote regions to build a system for the liquefaction of gas, which in this form can be sent anywhere. Organize something similar for the Crimea is not yet clear. It is possible that the Peninsula would be enough supplies through the new pipeline, but I would watch carefully how the gas down to specific points in the Crimea.

ГЕС Tysso II — гідроелектростанція на півдні Норвегії майже за вісім десятків кілометрів на південний схід від Бергену. Знаходячись малою ГЕС Håvardsvatn (5 МВт, вище по сточищі) та ГЕС Оксла, входить до складу гідровузла у сточищі річки Tysso, котра тече до Sorfjorden (протяжна південна затока Гардангер-фіорду).

В своїй роботі станція використовує п'ять значних водосховищ:

- Tyssevatnet, розташоване на самій Tysso. Ця водойма має корисний об'єм 52 млн м3, що забезпечується коливанням рівня між позначками 1307 та 1333 метра НРМ;

- Nedsta Nonsskorvatnet, яка знаходиться на лівій притоці Tysso річці Nybuåi (впадає на ділянці водосховища Рінгедалсватнет). Окрім епонімної водойми воно включило озера Ovra Havardsvatnet, Nedstra Havardsvatnet і Kvannanuttjomane та має корисний об'єм 130 млн м3, чому відповідає коливання поверхні між 1208 та 1264 метра НРМ;

- розташоване нижче на тій же Nybuåi сховище Nedra Nybuvatnet з корисним об'ємом 24,8  млн м3 та разташуванням поверхні в діапазоні від 1162,2 до 1190,5 метра НРМ;

- Breiavatnet, створене на Breidåni, лівій притоці Nybuåi. Воно має корисний об'єм у 88,2 млн м3 та коливання поверхні між позначками 1188 та 1233,4 метра НРМ;

- Langavatnet, яке розташовується на іншій лівій притоці Nybuåi річці Kystfelt та є найбільшим резервуаром системи. Його корисний об'єм становить 189 млн м3, чому відповідає зміна рівня між 1155 та 1190 метрів НРМ.

Ресурс із Nedsta Nonsskorvatnet  проходить через зазначену вище малу ГЕС Håvardsvatn після чого прямує до Nedra Nybuvatnet. Сюди ж по тунелю довжиною 2 км передається ресурс із Breiavatnet. Також із Nedra Nybuvatnet тунелем довжиною 4 км з'єднане Langavatnet, що, враховуючи їх дуже схожий діапазон коливань, дозволяє здійснювати маневр ресурсом.

Головний дериваційний тунель прямує від Nedra Nybuvatnet по правобережжю Tysso. Довжина траси до машинного залу складає понад 12 км, при цьому отримують додатковий ресурс із:

- водозабору на Slet (впадає праворуч до сховища Рінгедалсватнет);

- водозабору на Tysso, через який зокрема надходить вода із розташованого вище резервуару  Tyssevatnet;

- так само розташованого на Tysso озера Tyssehylen, рівень поверхні якого коливається між 1160,7 та 1161,7 метра НРМ. Цей недостатньо високий показник змушує використовувати для підкачки насосну станцію Tyssehøl потужністю 0,5 МВт;

- водозабору на Endaåi (впадає праворуч до Рінгедалсватнет);

- водозабору на Floråni (ще один правий доплив Рінгедалсватнет).

Основне обладнання станції становлять дві турбіни типу Пелтон потужністю по 112 МВт (первісно мали потужність по 97 МВт), які використовують напір у 725 метрів та забезпечують виробництво 1069 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік.

Відпрацьована вода відводиться до Рінгедалсватнет.

When did we last have 200 twitchers trying to view a rare bird in Dunnington? The Pine Bunting should not have been here at all. It breeds in Siberia and usually winters in central Asia with a few coming further west but very rarely this far. So we were fortunate to have one mix in with a local flock of yellowhammers, especially if you happened to see it. What has this to do with Hagg Wood? We expect that the establishment of some groves in the wood, and the planting of suitable vegetation will green the floor of the wood and attract insects, butterflies and birds. Not necessarily rarities but more the usual woodland birds that are becoming scarcer in the UK. It will not be long before the first of the summer migrants arrive, so keep your eyes and ears open. Some are more often heard than seen. There might be a rare one among them! Urban Buzz York, the Butterfly Conservation, and our ecological adviser Martin Hammond have been very helpful in suggesting the vegetation that would be suitable in the glades.
During our next Hagg Wood working party on March 4th we shall be planting in the glades, so come along and plant a tree.
As mentioned in our Spring Newsletter, the Conservation Volunteers have cleared further areas of invasive brambles in the Bluebell area that should create an even more magnificent display of bluebells than previously.
On Monday March 20th at 7.30 pm in the Reading Room, Terry Weston will be giving his popular annual photographic show, this year entitled "Namibia & Its Wildlife".
The dates for our next Woodland Working parties are March 4th and 11th, and April 1st. Meet at 10am at the wood end of Intake Lane. We aim to finish at 1pm. Strong boots or wellies and good gardening gloves are recommended. Please join us and help make the wood better for us all.
Our next work party is on Saturday 11h March and we would be delighted to see any new volunteers. We meet at 10.00 am at the top of Intake Lane and work until 1.00 pm with a break midway, but even help for just an hour would be appreciated. Bring gloves if you can, and wear stout shoes or wellies. All the necessary tools are provided.

Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu. (jap. ) ist eine Manga-Serie von Hashigo Sakurabi, die seit 2013 in Japan erscheint. Die Boys-Love-Serie wurde als Hörspiel und Anime-Fernsehserie adaptiert, letztere erschien auf Deutsch als - Dakaichi - My Number 1.

Handlung
Der Schauspieler Takato Saijō () ist in der Branche seit er ein kleines Kind war, spielt in Serien, Filmen und modelt. Er wurde fünf Jahre lang zum begehrtesten Mann gewählt, bis er durch den Neuaufsteiger Junta Azumaya () abgelöst wurde. Takato ist nicht nur darüber verärgert, sondern hat zu allem Übel eine Rolle in einem Film, in der Junta die Hauptrolle erhalten hat. Junta hatte von ihm bei einer früheren Produktion Hilfe bekommen und sieht Takato als Vorbild, während der lieber deutlich machen möchte, dass er als der erfahrenere über ihm steht. Takato bemerkt jedoch, dass Junta mit seiner lebhaften und charmanten Art die Herzen der Menschen um ihn herum viel leichter gewinnen kann, als er mit seiner kühlen Distanziertheit. Als sie sich dann nach den Dreharbeiten betrinken, gesteht ihm Junta, dass Takato nicht nur sein Vorbild ist, sondern er sich in ihn verliebt hat. Er drängt Takato dazu, mit ihm Sex zu haben, bis dieser schließlich nachgibt. Auch in den kommenden Tagen drängt Junta Takato, auch am Abend Zeit mit ihm zu verbringen und der kann sich kaum dagegen wehren – wegen Juntas Aufdringlichkeit und Charme und weil das Filmteam und sein Manager einen guten Kontakt zwischen den Schauspielern eher unterstützen. Als dann Junta nach einiger Zeit plötzlich wegen einer Krankheit distanziert ist, merkt auch Takato, wie viel Gefallen er an dem jungen Mann gefunden hat und wie er ihm nun fehlt.

Bei einem neuen Stück arbeitet Takato mit Chihiro Ayagi zusammen, der weniger erfahren ist als er und sich seine Rollen vor allem durch Affären verschafft. Bei den Proben findet Chihiro Gefallen an Takato und erkennt, dass der sich unerwartet leicht verführen lässt. An einem Abend lässt Chihiro Takato sich betrinken und nimmt ihn mit zu sich. Takato ist am nächsten Morgen entsetzt, dass er die Nacht mit einem anderen Mann verbracht hat und macht sich Vorwürfe. Auch Junta ist verärgert, drängt Chihiro, seinen Freund in Ruhe zu lassen und droht ihm schließlich, seine Affären auffliegen zu lassen. Der gibt widerwillig nach und offenbart, dass in der Nacht nichts zwischen ihm und dem betrunkenen Takato gelaufen ist, was diesen erleichtert. Das Stück mit den beiden wird ein großer Erfolg und Chihiro erkennt, wie viel er von seinem älteren Kollegen lernen konnte.

Während die beiden Männer ihre Beziehung leidenschaftlich – vor allem Junta – weiterführen, wird Takato für eine erfolgversprechende Filmproduktion verpflichtet. Doch deren Regisseur nimmt es nicht hin, dass irgendeiner seiner Schauspieler Affären hat. Eine Kollegin von Takato wurde wegen einer in der Klatschpresse veröffentlichten Liebelei bereits ersetzt. So versuchen die beiden Männer vorsichtiger zu sein. Dennoch gelingt es einem Fotografen, verräterische Bilder von ihnen zu machen. Das harmloseste und nur das Auffangen bei einem Treppensturz zeigende, auf dem nur Takato zu erkennen ist, leitet er an die Presse weiter. Der Fotograf will Takato mit den anderen Bildern erpressen, ihm weitere Gefallen zu tun. Um Junta zu schützen, dessen Talent Takato mittlerweile bewundert und viel größer empfindet als sein eigenes, trennt er sich von ihm. Junta ist überrascht und enttäuscht und Takato fällt es in der Zeit danach schwer, ohne Junta zu leben. Der erfährt über seine Agentur von dem Fotografen. Junta lässt ihn, um Takato zu schützen, ein Bild von ihm bei einer Verabredung mit einer bekannten Schauspielerin machen, mit der Junta gerade arbeitet. Die Aufmerksamkeit ist bei der neuen Enthüllung und der Fotograf fordert keine weitere Gegenleistung von Takato. Der aber ist noch mehr davon niedergeschlagen, dass Junta so schnell eine neue Beziehung gefunden hat. Doch kurz darauf lässt Junta von seinem Filmteam öffentlichkeitswirksam verbreiten, dass die "Verabredung" nur eine Probe für den Film war. Die Glaubwürdigkeit des Klatschmagazins und des Fotografen wird ruiniert und auch die früheren Enthüllungen in Zweifel gezogen. Takato kehrt zu Junta zurück – beide haben einander vermisst und wollen nun für immer zusammen bleiben.

Wieniawski Henryk Wieniawski
Henryk Wieniawski ([vʲɛˈɲafskʲi]; 10 July 1835 – 31 March 1880) was a Polish violinist and composer.
Top Works
Wieniawski: Légende, Op.17 Composer 1860
Wieniawski: Violin Concerto No.2, Op.22 Composer 1856-1862
Wieniawski: Polonaise de concert, Op.4 Composer 1852
Wieniawski: Violin Concerto No.1, Op.14 Composer 1852
Wieniawski: Fantasia on Themes from 'Faust', Op.20 Composer 1865
Wieniawski: Souvenir de Moscou, Op.6 Composer 1853
Wieniawski: Polonaise brillante No.2, Op.21 Composer
Henryk Wieniawski was born in Lublin, Congress Poland. His father, Tobiasz Pietruszka (Wolf Helman), was the son of a Jewish barber named Herschel Meyer Helman, from the Jewish Lublin neighbourhood of Wieniawa, when barbers were also practising dentists, healers, and bloodletters. Wolf Helman, also known as Tobiasz Pietruszka, changed his name to Tadeusz Wieniawski, taking on the name of his neighbourhood to blend into his Polish environment better. Prior to obtaining his medical degree, he had converted to Catholicism. He married Regina Wolff, the daughter of a noted Jewish physician from Warsaw, and out of this marriage Henryk was born. His talent for playing the violin was recognised early, and in 1843 he was accepted by the Paris Conservatoire, where special exceptions were made to admit him, as he wasn't French and was only nine years old. After graduation, Henryk toured extensively and gave many recitals, where he was often accompanied by his brother Józef on piano. In 1847, he published his first opus, a Grand Caprice Fantastique, the start of a catalogue of 24 opus numbers.
When his engagement to Isabella Hampton was opposed by her parents, Wieniawski wrote Légende, Op. 17; this work helped her parents change their mind, and the couple married in 1860.
At the invitation of Anton Rubinstein, Wieniawski moved to St. Petersburg, where he lived from 1860 to 1872, taught many violin students, and led the Russian Musical Society's orchestra and string quartet. From 1872 to 1874, Wieniawski toured the United States with Rubinstein. Wieniawski replaced Henri Vieuxtemps as violin professor at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles in 1875.
During his residence in Brussels, Wieniawski's health declined, and he often had to stop in the middle of his concerts. He started a tour of Russia in 1879 but was unable to complete it, and was taken to a hospital in Odessa after a concert. On 14 February 1880, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's patroness Nadezhda von Meck took him into her home and provided him with medical attention. His friends also arranged a benefit concert to help provide for his family. He died in Moscow a few weeks later from a heart attack and was interred in the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw.
His daughter Régine Wieniawski, born in Brussels the year before his death, also became a composer. She published her early works as "Irène Wieniawska," but after marrying Sir Aubrey Dean Paul and becoming a British subject, she used the pseudonym "Poldowski."[3] Another daughter, Henriette, would go on to marry Joseph Holland Loring in 1904, who was among the victims of the Titanic disaster.
Wieniawski was a player in the Beethoven Quartet Society in London, where he also performed on viola.
Henryk Wieniawski was considered a violinist of great ability and wrote some very important works in the violin repertoire, including two technically demanding violin concertos, the second of which (in D minor, 1862) is more often performed than the first (in F-sharp minor, 1853). His L'École moderne: 10 Études-caprices is a very well known work for aspiring violinists. His Scherzo-Tarantelle, Op.16 and Légende, Op.17 are also frequently performed works. He also wrote two popular mazurkas for solo violin and piano accompaniment (the second one, Obertas, in G major), using techniques such as left-hand pizzicato, harmonics, large leaps, and many double stops.
Wieniawski was given a number of posthumous honours. His portrait appeared on a postage stamp of Poland in 1952 and again in 1957. A 100 złoty coin was issued in 1979 bearing his image.
What is commonly called the "Russian bow grip" is sometimes called the "Wieniawski bow grip", as Wieniawski taught his students his own kind of very rigid bowing technique (like the Russian grip) that allowed him to play what he called a "devil's staccato" with ease. This "devil's staccato" was used to discipline students' technique.[clarification needed]
The first violin competition named after Wieniawski took place in Warsaw in 1935. Ginette Neveu took first prize, David Oistrakh second, and Henri Temianka third. The International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition has been held every five years since 1952.
