Four Freemasons conquer the Five Peaks Challenge to raise over £2,200 for charity
Four Freemasons took on the 'Five Peaks Challenge' in September 2018 to raise over £2,200 for the charity Dogs for Good
The challenge entailed climbing and descending the highest peaks of the home nations of England (Scafell Pike), Wales (Snowdon), Scotland (Ben Nevis) and Northern Ireland (Slieve Donard), and the highest peak in the Republic of Ireland (Carrauntoohil). In just five days, the four members, all in their fifties, drove 1,800 miles and climbed over 10,000 metres.
The four members who completed the task were: Stuart Lutes, Charity Steward of La Belle Sauvage Lodge No. 3095 in London, Mark O'Shaughnessy and Jeff Wall, Secretary and Junior Deacon respectively of Bodina Lodge No. 9121 in Hertfordshire, and Eddie Higgins, of Mariners' Lodge No. 168 in Guernsey.
Dogs for Good is a life-transforming charity, creating partnerships between people living with disability, including children with autism, and specially-trained assistance dogs.
So far, over £1,700 has been raised by online donations with La Belle Sauvage Lodge boosting this by making a generous donation of £500.

Simone said: 'With the help of Freemasons and their vehicles around the country, I'm on a mission to raise the profile of our work and raise more funds to reach more children whose lives could be transformed by the technology we can provide.'
We'll be updating this page regularly, including images, as Simone continues on her epic quest.
Day 14 – Thursday 7 June

Day 6 – Wednesday 30 May

Simone began day four by driving an Aston Martin DB9 to the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare with help from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Somerset. A 1928 MG Riley saloon then took Simone to her next port of call, Clifton Suspension Bridge where the Provincial Grand Lodge of Bristol had a 1966 Austin Mini Cooper waiting to take her to Caen Hill Locks.

Quarterly Communication
Order of Service to Masonry Citation for W Bro Keith Gilbert, PSGD
Bro Keith Gilbert was made a Mason in November, 1972, at the age of 27, in Radius Lodge, No. 5474, in London, and was installed as Master of Skelmersdale Lodge, No. 1380 in West Lancashire in 1984. He has at various times been a member of eight other Lodges and has served as Master of five of them. He was exalted into the Royal Arch in Bedeword Chapter, No. 7274 in Warwickshire in 1976, and served as First Principal of Harpenden Chapter, No. 4314 in Hertfordshire in 1995. He is, or has been, a member of three other Chapters. He remains active in Hertfordshire as Secretary of a Lodge, Scribe E of a Chapter and Immediate Past Master of the Province's Lodge of Installed Masters.
Bro Gilbert was appointed a Provincial Grand Steward in Hertfordshire in 1995 and held various other offices in that Province before he became Provincial Grand Secretary in 2004. On relinquishing that office in 2011 he was appointed an Assistant Provincial Grand Master, holding that office for four years. Bro Gilbert holds the rank of Past Senior Grand Deacon in the Craft, and Past Grand Standard Bearer in the Royal Arch. He also served as a Grand Steward on the nomination of Globe Lodge, No. 23 in 2014.
In 2015 Bro Gilbert was appointed as the unpaid Team Leader for the Tercentenary Planning Committee, which reported direct to the Board of General Purposes. He was therefore directly responsible for coordinating all the Tercentenary events throughout the Provinces and Districts, as well as linking in and coordinating the requirements of our guests from the many Grand Lodges around the world, and masterminding and planning all administrative matters for the period 29th to 31st October 2017.
He selected and built up a team with great skill and they worked well with him. He planned everything well in advance and in great detail, endeavouring to ensure that nothing was missed. Initially he would spend about two days a week in the office, but that gradually increased until 2017 when he spent most working days at Freemasons' Hall.
That all the Tercentenary events went so smoothly was down to the outstanding determination and dedication of Bro Gilbert over a three-year period of intense and detailed hard work. For ensuring the success of Grand Lodge's Tercentenary celebrations, Bro Gilbert is awarded the Grand Master's Order of Service to Masonry.

Kilimanjaro climb for children's hospital
Dale Murphy, from Gorhambury Lodge, No. 8745, Province of Hertfordshire, is all set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in February, raising vital funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Hertfordshire launches appeal
The Province of Hertfordshire has launched its 2019 Festival Appeal for the RMTGB at a series of dedicated events. The five-year appeal will see the Province's five thousand six hundred Freemasons aim towards a final Festival target of £3 million.
The donations will be used to fund the RMTGB's core work of supporting around two thousand children and young people from masonic families in financial hardship each year, in addition to grants made through its Stepping Stones scheme. In Hertfordshire alone, more than one hundred and seventy children have been supported during the past five years.
Launching the appeal, Provincial Grand Master Paul Gower said: 'I hope that the Freemasons of "Happy Hertfordshire" will produce a sum worthy of our Province, and so enable the RMTGB to continue its work of relieving hardship in the families of our less fortunate brethren.'

Disability charity DEMAND seeks help from Hertfordshire masons
Step change for Chelsea
Hertfordshire Freemasons have helped put a smile on the face of 10-year-old Chelsea, from Hatfield, who was born with cerebral palsy and has limited movement. Her grandfather had raised enough money to buy a frame to enable her to learn to walk, but despite the aid for her legs, Chelsea was unable to control the position of her head and upper body, making it awkward and painful to move.
Specialist charity DEMAND sought help from Hertfordshire masons, whose £1,000 donation enabled a bespoke head rest and shoulder brace to feature in the frame's design, meaning Chelsea is now able to walk more easily.

Christmas lights at Croxley Green raise £60k since 1978
A suburban home in Croxley Green, near Watford in Hertfordshire, has for years been a mecca for families from miles around as W Bro Dave Edwards festoons the whole of his house with Christmas lights
This November Dave, a longtime member of Croxley Green Lodge No. 8636, moved into the limelight himself, as he was first selected by Heart Radio someone who has made a significant contribution to the local Hertfordshire community. Then he saw the switching on of his own lights recorded for all to see on Channel Five television.
There is no doubt among the thousands who have visited his home in Lancing Way that the award was well deserved. Over the years Dave's lights have not only brought pleasure but have contributed tens of thousands of pounds to numerous charities. Indeed, since he first started in 1978 Dave has raised more than £60,000.
This festive season, however, not only did he see his own lights switched on – he was also chosen to switch on the whole of the Christmas lights in Watford.
'When you think of all the important people who live in and around Watford, I really felt very proud,' Dave said. 'But I was just as proud when we had 700 people outside my own home for our big switch on!'
His all-lit-up home will be featured on Channel Five television at 9pm on December 19th.

Hertfordshire Lodge of the Legion lays wreath at Liberator Memorial in Cheshunt
Hertfordshire Lodge of the Legion No. 9827, based in Cheshunt, ensures that as many war memorials as possible throughout Hertfordshire have a poppy wreath laid on Remembrance Sunday each year
In all, members of the lodge lay more than 60 wreaths each year. The first wreath-laying ceremony for this year took place at the Liberator Memorial, by Lt Ellis Way, Cheshunt, on November 2. This was attended by civic leaders, local MPs and councillors, in addition to the Royal British Legion, USAF guard of honour and a three-gun salute from USAF Mildenhall, along with the new Hertfordshire Provincial Grand Master Paul Gower, who laid the wreath on behalf of the Lodge and numerous brethren.
On the 12th August 1944, what was then the small town of Cheshunt was saved from a catastrophic disaster that would have cost many of the local citizens their lives.
An American B24 'Liberator' aircraft from the 392nd Bomber Command, based in Wendling, Norfolk, on route to Germany was involved in a mid air incident above the town.
The aircraft, under the command of Lt John D. Ellis, fell from the sky and was steered away from Cheshunt, crash landing just outside the town. The B24 Bomber was fully laden and exploded on impact, killing all ten crew members on board.
The memorial was constructed and unveiled on the 22nd January 2011 at Lieutenant Ellis Way, named after Lt John D. Ellis, through the tireless work and commitment of Ernie Havis a veteran and Royal British Legion local representative.
At a ceremony on the 12th August this year two flagpoles with the Union flag and Stars and Stripes were erected and dedicated to the site by Col Travis A. Willis, USAF Air Attaché from USA.
The Lodge of Legion is instrumental in ensuring that the ten crew members are honoured each year.

Quinnipiac: Biden and Harris Statistically Tied for First Place
Posted by -NO AUTHOR- | Jul 2, 2019 | Breitbart News | 0 |
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has vaulted into the top tier of Democrat candidates with a stunning 13-point post-debate leap, virtually tying Joe Biden (D) for first place, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released Tuesday.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 554 Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters June 28 – July 1. According to the poll, Harris's aggressive debate performance paid off, showing 20 percent support and placing her firmly in second place among the crowded field of candidates. However, with a margin of error of +/- 5 percentage points, she is statistically tied with former Vice President Joe Biden, who is experiencing his most narrow lead yet with 22 percent support.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) barely edges out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for third place in the poll, with 14 percent to Sanders' 13.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) follows Sanders in a distant fifth, garnering only four percent support.
As Quinnipiac notes, these results reveal a significant shift in the last three weeks.
This compares to a June 11, 2019 Quinnipiac University Poll which had Biden at 30 percent, Sanders getting 19 percent, Warren with 15 percent, Buttigieg at 8 percent, and Harris with 7 percent.
"Round 1 of the Democratic debates puts Senator Kamala Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden on two different trajectories, as support for Harris surges but continues to slip for Biden," Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Mary Snow said, adding that his lead has "evaporated."
"There are other red flags for him in areas where he still leads, including double digit drops among Democrats and Democratic leaners who view him as the best leader, or as the best candidate to defeat President Trump in 2020," she added.
Despite Harris's surge, Democrat voters still consider Biden their best bet at successfully challenging President Trump.
Democrats and Democratic leaners were also asked which candidate they thought had the best chance of winning against President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, regardless of who they support in the primary. Biden tops the field with 42 percent, which is a drop from the 56 percent that he received on April 30. Harris comes in a distant second with 14 percent in today's poll, up from 2 percent in April. Sanders receives 13 percent, and no other candidate reaches double digits.
The current Real Clear Politics average shows Harris gaining on Warren and Sanders, with 13.4 percent to Warren's 13.8 and Sanders' 15.2.

Q: I am trying to show a string in label with diffrent color how to perform this..? IDE = Visual Studio 2010
Language = c# .net
Technology = windows forms application

Hi,
i am having 3 labels
Label1 details:
label1.text = "Team1";
label1.forecolor = Color.yellow;

Label2 details:
label2.text = "Team1";
label2.forecolor = Color.green;

Label3 details:
label3.text = "Team1";
label3.forecolor = Color.grey;

Now, What i am trying is this :
label4.text = "Match between " + label1.text+ " and " +label2.text+ " at " +label3.text         ;

But the output of this i am getting all the labels in same color  which is set to     label4.
and i want it to be displayed in different color.
I have tried this solution to put the different labels in form but it is getting     overlapped.
so is there any way to concatenate labels..?
Any suggestions ?

A: If you are inclined, you can create a UserControl and override its OnPaint function to draw these 3 chunks of text in different colors using GDI+. All it would take is a simple DrawString call.
e.Graphics.DrawString("LabelText", this.Font, Brushes.Red, new Point(100, 100));

You can then expose 3 public properties to control the 3 chunks of text and optionally 3 color properties to control chunk's color. Note that you need to create SolidBrush from those colors in OnPaint because that's what DrawString expects, like this:
using(SolidColorBrush br = new SolidColorBrush(mColor1)
    e.Graphics.DrawString("LabelText", this.Font, br, new Point(100, 100));

Full code:
public partial class MultiColorLabel : Label
{
    public MultiColorLabel()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public string Text1 { get; set; }
    public string Text2 { get; set; }
    public string Text3 { get; set; }

    public Color Color1 { get; set; }
    public Color Color2 { get; set; }
    public Color Color3 { get; set; }

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnPaint(e);

        var g = e.Graphics;

        e.Graphics.DrawString("Match between ", this.Font, Brushes.Black, 0, 0);
        var sz = g.MeasureString("Match between ", this.Font).Width;

        using (SolidBrush sb = new SolidBrush(Color1))
            e.Graphics.DrawString(Text1, this.Font, sb, sz, 0);

        sz += g.MeasureString(Text1, this.Font).Width;

        e.Graphics.DrawString(" and ", this.Font, Brushes.Black, sz, 0);
        sz += g.MeasureString(" and ", this.Font).Width;

        using (SolidBrush sb = new SolidBrush(Color2))
            e.Graphics.DrawString(Text2, this.Font, sb, sz, 0);

        sz += g.MeasureString(Text2, this.Font).Width;

        e.Graphics.DrawString(" at ", this.Font, Brushes.Black, sz, 0);
        sz += g.MeasureString(" at ", this.Font).Width;

        using (SolidBrush sb = new SolidBrush(Color3))
            e.Graphics.DrawString(Text3, this.Font, sb, sz, 0);
    }
}

Here's the snapshot:

A: Label.Text is only return a string not any format. So all of text here will have the same color of label4. You need add your labels in a pannel control instead.

A: Problem : you are just assigning the Text of other Label controls, so it only displays the Text but other properties like (ForeColor) wont be applied.
Solution : in my opinion i don't think that displaying multiple colurs for single Label String is possible directly.
So you can either develop your own User Control to dispaly Text in multiple controls.
or
You can use RichTextBox control.

A: Text` will not return a the whole label, it will only return the text(string) of that label. If you want to do what you wanted go and read some posts about Graphics.

Home/hong kong, publishing/Blast from the past, and repeating history: the first books we published
I was making space in the storeroom this week for new books coming in, and I pulled a box down from the top rack of shelving. What a surprise. It contained a few copies of the first two books we ever published, back in 2002 and 2003.
My first thought was that I hadn't seen these for ages, and didn't know we still had any. My second thought was: have I been doing this for 18 years?
These books were HK Cheap Eats by Nicole Lade and Adventures with Kids by Sarah Woods. Both were small-format books to be used as hip-pocket guides for exploring Hong Kong. They both more or less sold out within a year of being printed, and this lucky start encouraged me to carry on with publishing. Much later, I would find out that a 100% hit rate is not normal; if these first two had not done well, I likely would have stopped there and found something different to do.
Why isn't Nicole's name on the front cover of her book? I have no idea. I didn't know what I was doing then.
HK Cheap Eats was the first of the two to come out. It was a fun guide to Hong Kong's budget dining scene of restaurants, cafes and dai pai dongs, with the criteria for inclusion being places where you could get a meal for HK$60. This was easy to achieve when the ubiquitous Hong Kong-style tea set was taken into consideration, and the book listed more than 250 eateries. It was conceived as a sort of antidote to the Michelin guide.
The timing of this discovery made me think. HK Cheap Eats was published in December 2002, and then, just two months later, SARS hit Hong Kong. Suddenly everyone was wearing masks. Many people skipped town. The city streets were quieter than I had ever seen them. Those heaving restaurants, hotels and markets were now almost empty. When it came around to the autumn of 2003, we started planning a second edition, and began calling around the restaurants to find out whether their menus had changed. Instead we got a lot of wrong-number dialling tones. About half of the places listed in the book had closed.
Here we are in 2020, and Covid-19 has dealt a similar blow to the city's hospitality trade. Let's hope that widespread immunity is on the menu for 2021.

These are some of Drew Monkman's favourite nature and environment books; the others he recommends this week are e-books.
Drew Monkman: Nature books for this time of crisis in Peterborough and the Kawarthas
Writers can help us explore nature through their words
By Drew MonkmanContributing Columnist
Special to The Examiner
Fri., May 15, 2020timer7 min. read
"Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting."
- Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese"
From all accounts, nature seems to be doing just fine as human activity has been dialed down in recent months. In fact, the pandemic seems to be inspiring many of us to pay more attention to the natural world than we normally would. The interest I've seen in birds this spring on social media surpasses anything I can recall.
It has also garnered considerable press coverage, including a feature article in the Globe and Mail. Brenda Ibey, owner of the Avant-Garden Shop in Peterborough, says she's amazed not only by soaring bird seed sales but by the number of people who are getting into feeding birds for the first time.
Given the gift of time we now enjoy, I thought I'd propose some of my favourite nature and environment books, both recent and classic. The following titles not only describe the wonders of this troubled planet but will help us to consider what kind of future we want. If there is one idea that runs through all of these books, it's the importance of a new story for humankind - a guiding story in which everyone's needs are met without ransacking the natural world, our mental and physical health, and the prosperity of future generations.
"BRAIDING SWEETGRASS: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants," by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2013)
When I ask people to name their favourite nature books, Braiding Sweetgrass is one of the first they mention. The author is both a biology professor and a member of the Potawatomi First Nation. Writing from both perspectives, Kimmerer explains in beautiful prose the interdependence of people and the natural world - especially the plant world - and that we need a much more reciprocal relationship with nature. She shows how other living beings - from asters and goldenrod all the way to sweetgrass - have so much to teach us and offer so much sustenance.Quote: "Live as if your children's future matters, take care of the land as if our lives and the lives of all our relatives depend on it. Because they do."
"THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE: Surviving the Climate Crisis," by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac (2020)
The authors, who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement, are two of my favourite thinkers when it comes to climate change. What I like most is their sense of optimism. So many of the solutions to climate change are available now if we choose to adopt them, hence the book's title. They lay out 10 actions we can all take, starting with the importance of seeing oneself as a citizen as opposed to a consumer. I also recommend the authors' podcast called "Outrage and Optimism," much of which now focuses on how the current pandemic can inform action on climate change. Quote: "In times of profound suffering and great need, we rise to the occasion . That impulse to gather in a circle of care for one another must be extended to our efforts to address the climate crisis."
"OUT OF THE WRECKAGE: A New Politics for an Age of Crisis," by George Monbiot (2018)
Monbiot, a political activist and well-known columnist at The Guardian newspaper, explains how a toxic ideology rules the world - one of extreme competition and individualism. He argues that this is a misrepresentation of human nature and one that inflicts huge damage. What we need is a new story that reflects our true co-operative and altruistic nature - a side of humankind we're seeing right now in the inspiring mutual aid during this pandemic.
Monbiot believes that such a story can re-engage people in politics - a politics of belonging - and in creating a better world. He shows how both democracy and economic life can be radically reorganized and that neo-liberal forces that wreaked havoc on our lives can be thwarted. Quote: "The old world, which once looked stable, even immutable, is collapsing. A new era has begun, loaded with hazard if we fail to respond, charged with promise if we seize the moment."
"THE OVERSTORY," by Richard Powers (2019)
This is an impassioned fictional work of environmental activism and resistance that evokes on every page the wonder and newest science about trees. Powers explains how interconnected and resourceful trees are in ways that are almost invisible to us. It is also the story of nine people whose life experiences allow them to see this amazing "overstory" and bring them together to try to stop the destruction of forests and the natural world in general. Quote: ""The best arguments in the world won't change a person's mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story."
"A SAND COUNTY ALMANAC," by Aldo Leopold (1949)
More than any other book, "A Sand County Almanac" launched the modern conservation movement. Leopold, an American ecologist, writes in lyrical prose of his love for land, nature, and seasonal change in his Wisconsin home. The book begins with an actual almanac covering each month of the year in nature. It concludes with essays on conservation, including Leopold's most influential essay, "The Land Ethic." Quote: "A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."
"A YEAR IN THE MAINE WOODS," by Bernd Heinrich (1994)
This quirky book is one of my very favourites. Heinrich, a biology professor at the University of Vermont, recounts the fulfilment of a dream he'd always had: to spend an entire year at his wilderness cabin in Maine. You'll want to do the same. The book is about slowing down, paying close attention, and really getting to know the plants and animals of one small place through the seasons - the sounds, smells, and species of each month. It actually inspired me to write my first book, "Nature's Year in the Kawarthas." Quote: "Many of us are like sleepwalkers here, because we notice so little."
"NEW AND SELECTED POEMS: Volume One," by Mary Oliver (1992)
I love to turn to the poetry of Mary Oliver as a source of inspiration and contemplation about nature. Her poems are both companions and daily meditations. Oliver's poetry is firmly anchored in place - a place that often evokes the Kawarthas - and is eminently accessible to the general poetry reader. Like Heinrich, her poems reflect someone who is really paying attention. This volume contains her classics like "Wild Geese" quoted above.
"WOLVES: Ryders in the Whirlwind," by Gordon Harrison (2019)
Harrison is one of our best local writers. In his new book, he tells the story of a wolf called Big Red - an eastern wolf he actually came to know on his Haliburton property - who must make a perilous journey home across Algonquin Park. In the process, we learn not only about wolves and their fraught relationship with humans but also about the other animals and plants with which they share the same ecosystem. Harrison combines his personal anecdotes with lessons from thinkers such as Charles Darwin. The book is available at the Avant-Garden Shop. Quote: "All life forms are composites; we call the result evolution. Humans now wish to apply this nonsense of racial purity, which has poisoned entire civilizations, to the genus Canis, both wolf and dog."
"HOW TO RAISE A WILD CHILD: The Art and Science of Falling in Love with Nature," by Scott Sampson (2015)
This book emphasizes the importance of nature mentors and how to become one yourself. You need not be a nature expert - just a source of enthusiasm, support, and learning to become a good storyteller. Children will value what you value, so start noticing and appreciating nature yourself. Sampson also explains the importance of unstructured outdoor play, risk-taking, and asking questions. He argues that kids need to know the story of how the Universe began and how evolution explains everything we see around us in living nature - including ourselves. Quote: "At their best, stories are priceless word-jewels with the power to create, sustain, and transform worlds . Think about you, the nature mentor, as storyteller."
"THE COMPLETE UP NORTH: A Guide to Ontario's Wilderness from Black Flies to the Northern Lights," by Doug Bennet and Tim Tiner (2010) This book is an entertaining field guide to the plants and animals of Central Ontario. A mix of science and trivia about plants, mammals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles, the sky - pretty much everything that would catch your attention when out in nature or even in your backyard. For example, what are those hundreds of little holes in the trunks of birch and hemlock trees? What constellation is that? What's the whole story with these blackflies? This is a book that every cottager, camper, and hiker should have.

Climate crisis news
Yuval Noah Harari, the international bestselling author of "Sapiens," was a recent guest on the "Outrage and Optimism" podcast mentioned above.
When asked about the pandemic, he said he's very encouraged by the apparent change in attitude by so many politicians and much of the public when it comes to science.
"We're seeing that people all over the world are turning to the scientists as the best authority on what to do . I hope that this spirit will carry on even after this immediate crisis is over and that when scientists warn us about climate change, we will take it as seriously as we now take what they say about the pandemic. And, it's a much bigger danger than COVID-19. It's ecological collapse. Hopefully, this is a necessary wake-up call for humanity."

text:
After leaving the mountain Jesus and his disciples made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know, because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, 'The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.' But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.
They came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, 'What were you arguing about on the road?' They said nothing because they had been arguing which of them was the greatest. So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.' He then took a little child, set him in front of them, put his arms round him, and said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.'
Mk 9:30-37
Jesus foretells his death and resurrection for the second time. The prophecy is still confusing and frightening to the disciples, who rather expected Jesus to establish a glorious temporal kingdom of which they would have a part.
On their way back to Capernaum the disciples are swept up by vain ambition and debate between themselves as to who among them would be the greatest. Jesus mildly rebukes them and teaches that greatness in God's eyes is measured by humility and service to others. 'If anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all' (v.35). It was only when Jesus rebuked them that the disciples were aware that ambitious thoughts and aspirations had got the better of them. As future leaders of the Church, the apostles must resist aspirations for worldly honour and attention in order to serve Christ more faithfully and effectively.
This call to humility and service is echoed in a prayer from St Ignatius of Loyola:
To give and to not count the cost.
To fight and to not heed the wounds.
To labour and not to seek rest.
To serve and to not seek reward, except to do thy will.
The child in this passage provides an image of who should be served and the spirit needed to perform such service. According to St. John Chrysostom (Homily on Matthew 58), the very sight of the boy was intended to persuade the disciples to humility and simplicity, for this little one was free of envy and vainglory and from a desire for superiority. Welcoming innocent children with affection is tantamount to serving both Jesus and the Father.
Jesus' remark 'Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not me, but the one who sent me' is similar to his call 'Whatever you do to the least of mine, you do it to me' in challenging us to be true witnesses to God's love in the world.

Q: Help with proof of Euler's criterion Problem

This problem is about finding square roots modulo a prime $p$.
(a) Prove that $x^2 \equiv y^2 \pmod p$ if and only if $x \equiv y \pmod p$ or $x \equiv -y \pmod p$.
An integer $x$ is called a square root of $n$ mod $p$ when $x^2 \equiv n \pmod p$. An integer with a square root is called a square mod $p$. Assume that $p$ is an odd prime and $n \not \equiv 0 \pmod p$. It turns out there is a simple test we can perform to see if $n$ is a square mod $p$:
Euler's Criterion
i. If $n$ is a square modulo $p$, then $n^{(p-1)/2} \equiv 1 \pmod p$.
ii. If $n$ is not a square modulo $p$, then $n^{(p-1)/2} \equiv -1 \pmod p$.
(b) Prove Case (i) of Euler's Criterion.
(c) Prove Case (ii) of Euler's Criterion.

Solution
(a) Prove both directions of the if and only if:

*

*Assume that $x^2 \equiv y^2 \pmod p$. Then:

$$\begin{align}
  &x^2 - y^2 \equiv 0 \pmod p \\
  &\Rightarrow(x+y)(x-y) \equiv 0 \pmod p \\
  &\Rightarrow p\text{ | }(x+y)(x-y) \\
  &\Rightarrow [p\text{ | }(x+y)]\text{ or }[p\text{ | }(x-y)] &\text{(since }p\text{ is prime)} \\
  &\Rightarrow [x+y \equiv 0 \pmod p]\text{ or }[x-y \equiv 0 \pmod p] \\
  &\Rightarrow [x \equiv -y \pmod p]\text{ or }[x \equiv y \pmod p]
  \end{align}$$

*Assume that $x\equiv y \pmod p$ or $x\equiv -y \pmod p$. In both cases, squaring both sides gives $x^2\equiv y^2 \pmod p$.

(b) Assume that $x^2 \equiv n \pmod p$ for some $x, n, p$.
Since $n \not \equiv 0 \pmod p$ and $p$ is prime, $n$ and $p$ are relatively prime. Then, $x^2$ and $p$ are also relatively prime. Therefore, $x$ must be relatively prime to $p$. Then, by Fermat's theorem, $x^{p - 1} \equiv 1 \pmod p$. So:
$$\textrm{rem}(n^{(p-1)/2}, p) = \mathrm{rem}((x^2)^{(p-1)/2}, p) = \mathrm{rem}(x^{p-1}, p) = 1,$$
which proves (i).
(c) Assume that $n$ is not a square modulo $p$.
Since $n$ and $p$ are relatively prime, by Fermat's theorem, $n^{p - 1} \equiv 1 \pmod p$. Since $p$ is odd, $p - 1$ is even, so this can be rewritten as:
$$(n^{(p - 1)/2})^2 \equiv 1 \pmod p.$$
Then, from (a), it must be the case that either $n^{(p - 1)/2} \equiv 1 \pmod p$ or $n^{(p - 1)/2} \equiv -1 \pmod p$.
I got stuck at this point. I don't know how to infer, from the above facts, that $n^{(p-1)/2} \equiv -1 \pmod p$. Any hints on how to proceed?

A: Let $g$ be a primitive root in modulo $p$. Then for an integer $x$ relatively prime to $n$ we have, $x\equiv g^i$(mod $p$), for some $i=1,2,\dots,p-1$. Similarly since, $gcd(n,p)=1$, so there are some $j=1,2,\dots,p-1$ such that $n\equiv g^j$(mod $p$).
Now, there is an integer $x$ relatively prime to $p$ satisfying $x^2\equiv n$(mod $p$) if and only if,
$g^{2i}\equiv g^j$ (mod $p$)
$\Leftrightarrow$ $2i\equiv j$ (mod $p-1$)$\dots$ (1)
Hence $n$ is a quadratic residue in module $p$
$\Leftrightarrow$ (1) has a solution in $i$.
$\Leftrightarrow$ $gcd(2,p-1)=2$ divides $j$.
Now if $2|j$ then $j=2t$ for some integer t. Then
$n^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv (g^t)^{p-1} \equiv 1$ (mod $p$).
Next, if 2 does not divide $j$ then $\frac{p-1}{2}j$ is not a multiple of $p-1$. So
$n^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv g^{\frac{p-1}{2}j} \not\equiv 1$ (mod $p$). [ Since $g$ is primitive in module $p$ so $g^s\equiv 1$ (mod $p$) for $s=p-1$ but not for any $s=1,\dots,p-2$.]
Now from (a) then we have, $n^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv -1$ (mod $p$).
Hence $n$ is quadratic residue module $p$ or not according to, $n^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv 1$ or, $n^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv -1$.


The entire oven appears to be working except for the actual heating process .One can hear a clicking sound when the heating is supposed to begin.
+ it's hard to find the parts for this baby.
I have repaired more than one microwaveand find that it generally is not the magnetron tube that goes bad. What usually happens is simply a blown fuse. This repair involves taking the cover off and finding the circuit board.Even on cheap ovens the fuse is usually in a holder instead of soldered in so it is simply a matter of either checking for continuity in the fuse with a multimeter( this will tell you if the fuse is the problem) or removing it and taking it to your local Radio Shack and having them find you the correct replacment, snapping it in and reassemling the unit. Hope this helps.
Fuses don't just blow, there's a reason. Microwaves can kill you so please make sure your life insurance is in good standing before attempting a repair.
I appreciate your comment Mayer;very true that fuses only blow for a reason. This can be simply an overloaded curcuit or an electrical fault in the oven itself. I will stress that unless you have electrical(high voltage) experience, you should NEVER EVER open up the case!I can't stress this enough! Often though,the fuse blows from an overloaded circuit(too many devices on the circuit)in which case it can be a fairly easy repair. As w/all high voltage A/C appliances do not go there if you are not knowledgeable.Thanks again Mayer for the one up!
Fuses always go for a reason BUT very old fuses have been known to just fail because of inrush current like my 30 year old GE microwave!
In fact fuses do get "tired" over time.
If the fuse of the glass tubular variety, the appearance of the blown fuse will tell you whether it may be a nuisance failure or something more serious.
If the fuse wire is sagged or molten but mostly intact, the former is likely. If the inside of the glass tube has a black/metallic deposit all over it, it means that the fuse blew out because of a drastic overload - severe enough to evaporate the fuse wire. In such cases, don't even bother replacing the fuse - check the circuit first.

Logicomix: An Epic Search For Truth by Apostolos Doxiadis and Christos Papadimitriou is a graphic novel that presents itself as historical fiction, or fictional history of the logic behind mathematics. The book is fantastic and definitely worth a read by anyone who is a lover of logic, math, graphic novels, programming, computer science, or anything else, really. Apostolos and Christos did an excellent job in introducing a lot of basic concepts and how some of those concepts came to being. Of course, some of the material is fictionalized, but that doesn't stop the book at being an good resource on getting started to know some of the people who made things happen in the principles of mathematics.
I don't really have a lot of notes. Instead, I'll list here some of the topics and people in the book.
Methodical, step-by-step procedure described in terms of totally unambiguous instructions, which starts at a specified initial condition and terminates with the desired outcome.
Agreed-upon first principles that don't require proof.
1) Any consistent axiomatic system for arithmetic, in the form developed in the Principia, must of necessity by incomplete.
2) If such a system were to prove its own consistency it would be inconsistent.
Philosophy of mathematics that is based on the belief that intuition and time are fundamental to mathematics.
The belief that logic is founded on mathematics, and not the other way around.
The study of methodical thinking, deduction, and demonstration.
Synonym with predicate logic and first-order logic.
Extremely influential but controversial work by Alfred Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. It attempted to salvage Frege's work which was decimated by Russell's Paradox.
The process of arriving at the logical verification of a mathematical or logical statement, starting from a set of agreed-upon first principles.
If it does contain itself, it follows that it is one of the sets which don't contain themselves, and thus cannot contain itself.
If it doesn't contain itself, then it does not have the property of not containing itself, and thus does contain itself.
The quality of a statement of referring to itself.
The study of collections of objects united by a common property.
Ludwig Wittgenstein's solution of "all the problems of philosophy".
One of Greek's most influential philosophers.
Contributed greatly to systematization and exposition of logic.
Great contributor to logic in mathematics.
Developed the idea that logical propositions can be expressed in a purely symbolic language which allows them to be manipulated by operations similaty to the operations of elementary arithmetic.
"and", "or", and "not" can be traced back to his work.
Made a great deal of progress in set theory.
Theorem that set of all real numbers is uncountable, but set of all rational numbers is countable.
Proved that Cantor's Contiuum Hypothesis is consistent with the axioms of set theory.
One of the greatest mathematicians in history.
Pioneered many methods of proofs.
Famous cries of "In mathematics, there is no ignorabimus" (no "we shall not know").
Most important logician after Aristotle and before Boole.
Created a notation for first-order logic and a system of axioms for arithmetic, that is still in use.
The greatest mathematician of his time, and the last universal mathematician.
Made many contributions to many different fields in mathematics.
Main character in the book (or one of).
One of the greatest contributors in mathematical logic, along Aristotle, Boole, Frege, and Godel.
Creator of Turing Machines - whether, given a logical system, there is an algorithm for deciding whether a proposition is provable within the system or not (his answer is "no").
Contributor to many areas of mathematics.
Called "the last of the great mathematicians".
One of the first great computer scientists.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine Organs
The Cathedral Basilica is graced with two organs that assist in leading worship every day of the year and provide wonderful capabilities for weddings and recitals.
Upon entering the church, the instrument that one sees framing the reredos in the Cathedral chancel is a Casavant Frères pipe organ, Opus 3821, installed in 2003. Its 56 ranks of pipes are played from a three manual console which sits to the right rear of the chancel. The organ console can be moved and placed in front of the altar for organ concerts and recitals.
A second organ is located in the choir gallery at the rear of the nave of the Cathedral. Installed in 2015 after the renovation of the church for the 450th Anniversary of the Parish, the Colby-Walker organ is a 70-rank digital instrument played from the three manual console. This instrument has complete resources of its own, and also is capable of playing and combining with the Casavant Frères pipe organ in the chancel.
The Cathedral Basilica welcomes all visitors to come and pray and enjoy our beautiful church. If you are a member of a group that would like to visit the nation's First Catholic Parish please let us know how we can help.

Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies affecting about 2% of the population according to a 2004 national telephone survey, including 2.5% of adults and 0.5% of children. More recent US estimates from 2011 noted 1.3% of children had reported shellfish allergy. Shellfish allergy is an IgE antibody-mediated reaction to proteins found in crustacean or mollusk family shellfish, and is a common cause of anaphylaxis of foods. In one study reviewing causes of adult anaphylaxis, in 133 episodes of anaphylaxis 45 (34%) were stated to be due to shellfish allergy. Shellfish allergy may be most common in Asian countries.
Allergy to shellfish can develop at any age, and has been reported to have developed in individuals who may have been able to safely eat shellfish in the past (though this is rare). Unfortunately, allergy to shellfish is usually life-long and not commonly outgrown. Strict avoidance of shellfish is recommended.
There are two families of shellfish—molluscs (including hard shell bivalves clam, oyster, scallop, mussel; cephalopods squid, octopus; and gastropods abalone, snail, and whelk) and soft shell (arthropod crustacean species crab, lobster, prawn, shrimp, langoustine, crawfish). Crustacean allergy is more common, and only crustacean shellfish are required to be listed on labels in the US per FALCPA (not mollusk, and this is an important distinction to understand). The protein in crustacean shellfish is different than fin fish, and thus shellfish allergic individuals generally can eat fin fish. However, care should be taken to avoid cross-contamination.
Skin testing may be recommended in the evaluation of a shellfish allergy. These results must be interpreted cautiously due to the risk of cross-reactivity within the mollusk or crustacean family is common, and between dust mite and shellfish. The major protein that causes allergy in shellfish allergic individuals is called tropomyosin. This is highly shared among both species of shellfish, and also in the shells of invertebrates such as the common dust mite (which are also arthropods). Molluscs also contain other allergens such as myosin heavy chain, haemocyanin, amylase, and arginine kinase.
Tropomyosin cross-reactivity has actually caused positive crustacean shellfish allergen testing among religiously observant individuals who do not eat shellfish (e.g. Orthodox Jewish individuals). Therefore, one must be very careful not to over-interpret an isolated positive shellfish test if the history does not support a potential reaction had occurred from eating shellfish. The strength of shellfish protein cross-reactivity explains a common observation that one may test positive to multiple species within the crustacean family, or mollusk family. However, as is the case described with tree nut, some of these tests may be falsely positive, and the tests do not necessarily mean that these foods will cause a reaction. There is some risk of clinically reacting to another crustacean (or mollusk) member if there is allergy to one member, but there is less risk of clinical cross-reactivity between crustaceans and mollusks (though this still occurs in some).
In addition to skin testing and/or blood work (food specific IgE antibody) to evaluate a potential reaction to shellfish, an oral food challenge (OFC) may be necessary in some instances, as noted above. Examples of how to use OFC for evaluating shellfish allergy include making sure that a shellfish allergy can be distinguished from shellfish poisoning, to identify which particular agent a person reacts to (if the history is unclear or the person recognizes multiple shellfish), and to evaluate for exercise dependent food induced anaphylaxis. An OFC is performed in a clinical setting with a board certified allergist, which is a highly useful procedure to rule in, or rule out, the presence of a food allergy. Please consult with a board certified allergist for further information on the diagnosis of a food allergy, or whether the allergic individual should continue to avoid shellfish.
It is also recommended, like all patients with food allergy, that individuals with food allergy have two epinephrine auto-injectors available to them at all times.
Read all product labels prior to the consumption of a new food product. According to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA), food products with the advisory statements such as "may contain" or "manufactured in facility that process" on a package are voluntary. These statements are one in the same and manufacturers are not required to include these advisory statements. Whether or not the statement appears on a product has no baring on the safety. The absence of the statement does not necessarily mean that products may have not been exposed to cross contact. Cross-contact is when a food item has been manufactured on a shared equipment with an allergen. It's recommended that you contact the manufacturer and ask specific questions about a product to confirm its safety. Foods labeled as "kosher" will not contain any shellfish products.
Cross-contact (sometimes referred to as cross contamination) occurs when the protein from a food one is allergic to contaminates a normally safe food. This can happen during preparation, cooking, or serving. Due to the risk of cross contact individuals with a shellfish allergy may wish to avoid seafood restaurants or those that offer dishes made with shellfish. For example, pans used to make a shrimp scampi dish that are not carefully cleaned with soap and hot water could potentially transfer shrimp to another dish. As well, shrimp or other shellfish simply cannot be "removed" from a salad and the same salad re-served—that dish is contaminated. Be careful with laminated menus, surfaces, reusable place-settings, and on-table condiments at restaurants that serve shellfish that could be touched and contaminated, and then not washed. As always, clear communication with restaurant staff is key to avoid a reaction caused by cross-contact. Such individuals must also be very careful when ordering fish from a fish market to avoid the risk of contamination in the display and packaging.
The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) mandates that the labels of foods containing major food allergens, including crustacean shellfish declare the allergen in plain language; however, this does not apply to mollusks.
Shellfish is not often hidden, but may be an ingredient in Asian dishes and in stuffing (ie oyster stuffing). It may also be found in pet food, nutritional supplements, and fertilizers. Imitation shellfish (surimi) may contain shellfish or used shellfish as flavoring. Cross-contact, as mentioned earlier, in restaurants from common utensils, cooking pans and oils may also occur.
Did you know that people who are allergic to shellfish are NOT at any increased risk of allergic reactions to iodine or radiocontrast media? This is one of the largest myths that still persist, costing the healthcare system millions of dollars.
It is rare, but possible, for aerosolized shellfish allergen, to cause symptoms. This can happen from cooking and smelling vapors, or from restaurant workers or shellfish processers with frequent close exposure to these items.

Alqosch, auch Alqusch (, , ), ist eine assyrische Stadt im Irak. Sie befindet sich etwa 30 km nördlich von Mosul in der Ninive-Ebene der gleichnamigen Provinz. Der Name Alqosch ist aramäisch und bedeutet "Der Gott der Rechtschaffenheit". Die Stadt gehört seit 2003 zu den umstrittenen Gebieten des Nordiraks.

Geschichte
Die Geschichte des Ortes reicht zurück bis zum alten assyrischen Reich, eventuell noch weiter zurück. Die erste Erwähnung von Alqosch findet sich in der Zeit von Sanherib etwa 750 v. Chr., in Form von Wandmalereien in Sanheribs Palast, der in Tel Qwenjeq entdeckt wurde.

Alqosch gilt als eine der ältesten christlichen Ortschaften Iraks, und laut Überlieferung wurde es bereits durch den Einfluss des Apostels Thomas im 1. Jahrhundert christlich. Die Bevölkerung gehörte lange Zeit der Assyrischen Kirche des Ostens an, doch schloss sie sich mit dem Schisma von 1553 an die neu gegründete, mit Rom unierte Chaldäisch-katholische Kirche an. Von 1553 bis 1804 war das Kloster Rabban Hormizd Residenz des chaldäischen Katholikos-Patriarchen in der "Eliya-Linie" ("Patriarchat der Ebene") von Eliya VII. (1558–1591) bis Eliya XIII. Ischoʿyahb (1778–1804), aus der auch Yohannan VIII. Hormizd, später Patriarch von Babylon (1780–1830), hervorging. Die christliche Kleinstadt erlebte in ihrer Geschichte viele Angriffe und Plünderungen, wobei besonders das 16., 17. und 19. Jahrhundert genannt werden. 1828 starben in Alqosch 700 Menschen an der Pest. 1832 fiel der Leiter des Klosters Rabban Hormizd, Pater Gabriel Dambo, einem Mord zum Opfer. Zahlreiche Tote gab es auch bei der einer Hungersnot im Jahre 1879.

1960 wurde die Kirche Mar Gorgis in Alqosch Kathedrale des neu errichteten chaldäisch-katholischen Bistums Alqosch (Dioecesis Alquoshensis Chaldæorum), das neben der Stadt Alqosch den nördlichen Teil der Ninive-Ebene umfasst. Alqosch gehört zu den christlichen Orten der Ninive-Ebene, die 2014 bis 2017 nicht vom Daesch (IS) eingenommen wurden, so dass die Stadt unversehrt blieb und ihre Bewohner nicht fliehen mussten. Stattdessen nahm Alqosch Flüchtlinge auf, neben 500 christlichen auch 150 muslimische Familien.

Bei der Verteidigung der Stadt gegen Daesch im Jahre 2014 spielte der chaldäische Bürgermeister von Alqosch, Fayez Abed Jawahreh, in einem Bündnis mit christlichen und kurdischen Milizen eine entscheidende Rolle. Am 16. Juli 2017 – kurz vor dem geplanten Unabhängigkeitsreferendum in Irakisch-Kurdistan am 25. September 2017 – wurde Bürgermeister Fayez Abed Jawahreh (in manchen Meldungen Abdul Micha oder al-Jahwary genannt) nach Korruptionsvorwürfen auf Weisung von Baschar al-Kiki, dem Leiter des Provinzrates Ninive und Mitglied der Kurdischen Demokratischen Partei (KDP) des kurdischen Präsidenten Masud Barzani, abgesetzt und das KDP-Mitglied Adel Amin Omar als Nachfolger eingesetzt. Es kam zu heftigen Protesten aus der christlichen Bevölkerung der Stadt. Zu den Opponenten des KDP-Vorgehens gehörte unter anderen der christliche irakische Parlamentarier Yonadam Kanna, Generalsekretär der Assyrischen Demokratischen Bewegung. Daraufhin wählte der Gemeinderat von Alqosch, dem 4 KDP-Mitglieder von insgesamt 6 Ratsleuten angehören, am 27. Juli 2017 einstimmig die 1982 geborene chaldäische Ökonomin und Managerin Lara Yussif Zara (auch Lara Yousif Zara), die ebenfalls der KDP angehört, zur Bürgermeisterin. Mit der Wahl Zaras wurde erstmals in der Geschichte Iraks eine christliche Frau Bürgermeisterin. (Die Hauptstadt Bagdad hatte bereits ab 2015 eine Bürgermeisterin, Zekra Mohammed Alusch, die allerdings Muslimin ist.) Auch gegen die Wahl Zaras gab es jedoch mehrere Demonstrationen, auf denen auch irakische Fahnen und Transparente für einen Verbleib der Ninive-Ebene bei Irak und außerhalb Kurdistans gezeigt wurden. Am 15. Juli 2018 wurde Fayez Abed Jawahreh von kurdischen Polizeikräften in Haft genommen.

Bevölkerung

Alqosch hat sich auch 2019/2020 seine großenteils christliche Bevölkerung wahren können. Laut 2020 erschienener Studie von Kirche in Not sind die 6000 Einwohner Alqoschs in ihrer großen Mehrheit Christen. Hier ist praktisch ausschließlich die Chaldäisch-katholische Kirche präsent, deren Mitglieder sich als Chaldäer bezeichnen. Von den Christen in der Ninive-Ebene spricht wiederum eine große Mehrheit Surith ("Syrisch", Ost-Aramäisch). Von ihrer ethnischen Gruppe her werden die Syrisch/Aramäisch sprechenden Bewohner Alqoschs und anderer Orte oft auch als Assyrer ("Chaldean-rite Assyrians [...] in Alqosh") bezeichnet.

Sehenswürdigkeiten

In der Altstadt Alqoschs befinden sich die chaldäische Georgskathedrale (Mar Gorgis, ), die ebenfalls chaldäische Kirche Mar Micha () und das Mausoleum des jüdischen Propheten Nahum (). Etwa 2 km nordöstlich in den Bergen steht das Kloster Rabban Hormizd () und weniger als 1 km östlich das Kloster Unserer Frau der Saaten (), beide ebenso chaldäisch-katholisch.

Etwa 3 km westlich der Stadt befindet sich die Ruine von Schayro Meliktha.

Die Felswohnungen von Alqosch sind entlang der Berghänge, bis hin zur Spitze des Plateaus, verteilt. Sie sind ähnlich dekoriert wie die der anderen Kolonien der Stadt Ninive.

Identifikation mit Elkosch

Elkosch, der Geburtsort des Propheten Nahum, könnte gemäß der These von Austen Henry Layard mit dem heutigen Alqosch identisch sein, da sich in dessen Nähe nicht nur assyrische Felsbilder befinden, sondern in dessen Nachbarort Raban Hormuzd auch ein berühmtes Kloster mit den Gräbern christlicher Heiliger seinen Sitz hat. Layard, der die Gegend 1847 bereiste, schrieb hierzu:  Layard besuchte das Grab persönlich, bemerkte aber weiter:  Gegen diese These spricht, dass die Gegebenheiten nicht zu den Angaben passen, die Nahum in seinem Buch von seiner Heimat macht.

Michael Feinstein, I Happen to Like New York
Posted by Sarah Downs | Aug 11, 2019 | Reviews
By Sarah Downs
Michael Feinstein has a confession to make. He loves New York – and he doesn't care who knows it! In I Happen to Like New York Feinstein celebrates this dear old dirty town in all its glory (sights! lights! nights!), with a perfectly curated show that is as easygoing as its structure is precise. Youthful and effervescent, Feinstein is ageless. He is a consummate performer, singing with such confidence and lack of affectation you are immediately drawn in. He forces nothing, maintaining his authenticity even in those quiet moments that can so easily feel manipulative.
Feinstein also pays homage to another cabaret icon, Bobby Short, an original proponent of what he called the Great American Song. Short held court at the Cafe Carlyle for 37 years until his death in 2005, defining cabaret in New York City throughout the 1970s and 80's,
Running nearly an hour and a half, the evening still felt too brief. Feinstein bounced onstage to the tune of "Another Hundred People" from Stephen Sondheim's Company, instantly evoking the craziness of New York City in the image of crowded subway trains. Then it was on to Broadway. It's not just that the Great White Way is central to cabaret; it's central to New York City. Indeed, what show about New York would be complete without "The Lullaby of Broadway" from 42nd Street.
For the first week of his engagement, Feinstein is sharing the stage with the legendary Marilyn Maye. Every inch the glamorous café doyenne in her elegant sequins, Maye has gravitas and humor in equal measure. She adds another layer of sparkle and depth to the evening. Her interpretation of "If He Walked Into My Life" from Mame was heartbreaking.
Marilyn Maye
I Happen to Like New York has a little bit of everything, jazz standards, Burt Bachrach even Billy Joel. Nothing is off limits. Feinstein successfully harmonizes unlikely musical bedfellows, such as James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" eliding into Bachrach's "One Less Bell to Answer." He keeps an optimistic tone going throughout in songs like Cole Porter's "From This Moment On" and even a display of his virtuosity at the keyboard in a surprising, joyful boogie-woogie number with Maye.
The arrangements are killer, including a wonderfully detailed 'Broadway Medley' that effortlessly weaves together what feels like a dozen individual songs. The music has been scrutinized down to the precise measure that most effectively leads us seamlessly from one idea to the next. Every note paints a picture.
All of the arrangements have a neatness that reflects meticulous attention to detail and musicianship. I so appreciated the frisson of the final sextet from Leonard Bernstein's On The Town that Feinstein interpolated into the lead-in to "Somewhere" from West Side Story. Talk about ageless. This is a song as relevant today as it was in 1957. Feinstein sings it with simple delicacy, holding us all enrapt.
When he first hit the scene in the 80's Michael Feinstein introduced the Great American Songbook to a new generation, reinvigorating the cabaret world. You can still feel the wonder of discovery after all these years. He brings joy to the stage and a song to the heart. Resistance is futile.
Michael Feinstein, I Happen to Like New York, at Feinstein's/54 Below, 254 West 54th St., August 6th – 23rd, with special guests as follows: August 6-13 – Marilyn Maye; August 15-20, Melissa Manchester; August 21-23 Jackie Evancho. For tickets go to www.54below.com

The great ironies
One of the great ironies of World War I was that Kaiser Wilhelm who built this great battle fleet to rival the British Navy never got to put it to real good use. Other than the inconclusive Battle Of Jutland the surface fleet sat out the war primarily. It was those U-Boats that in this war and the next were the primary weapon of the German Navy. Which brings us to this film. A plan calling for a U-Boat or two is drafted by the German Naval Command in which U-Boat Captain Conrad Veidt is to make his way to Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands where the British fleet is anchored. Veidt puts ashore where he makes contact with a pair of British traitors, a cashiered captain Sebastian Shaw and a newly assigned schoolteacher in the region Valerie Hobson. When the fleet sails she will give Veidt instructions how to avoid the mine fields come in and do a Pearl Harbor on the fleet. Veidt is a most honorable sort, he wears a coat over his naval uniform as he does not wish to be shot as a spy. Of course when cornered he does ditch the uniform for another garb, the better to continue his activities as The Spy In Black. All however is not as it seems and history tells us such an event did not happen in World War I. Veidt, Hobson, and Shaw really care this film with their performances. Down in the cast one that stands out is Cyril Raymond as a nosy country parson who gets too curious for his own good. This film is a rarity in that Germans are not shown as intrinsically evil. That would change on both sides of the pond shortly.

Good war thriller
Interesting in that it has a German lead, played by a German actor, who you actually sympathise with. Very much not a jingoistic war film, and not what you would expect. Veidt stands out in this as a an actor, his experience really shines through and he comes across as a more realistic, where some of the British actor comes across as 2D. Nice character study of a professional officer who sticks by his code, despite the circumstances. Atmospheric and well made, solid British war spy flick.

A must-see for those who love Michael Powell and/or Conrad Veidt
The Spy in Black (1939) seems like it would be your standard spy thriller with a heaping helping of Allied propaganda, but it is much more than that. It's as much a humanist dramedy as it is an espionage picture. The World War I setting allows Conrad Veidt's German submarine captain to be honorable, charming, and even romantic, despite his status as "the enemy." Valerie Hobson is understated and effective as the English double agent who finds herself falling for Veidt against her better judgement. The sexual tension between them is palpable, bringing an erotic energy to already tense scenes between them. The movie ends on a note of melancholy, with a sense of weariness that humaneness and tenderness mean nothing in the face of war. This is one of director Michael Powell's earlier efforts and you can see even now his magic. I would not put TSIB in the same category as The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, or my personal favorite The Red Shoes, but it is an above average movie well worth your time. And of course, fans of Conrad Veidt-- well, you won't want to miss out either.


Federal subsidies to small businesses didn't make sense in the 1950s and it doesn't make sense today.
The SBA does this by guaranteeing loans issued by private lenders for up to 85 percent of losses in the event that loan recipients default. As a result of the guarantee, lenders are more willing to lend money to riskier applicants because the SBA — and thus taxpayers — is ultimately responsible for the bulk of any losses.


Nairobi — Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region is expected to perform well according to analysts at Cytonn Investments.
Key risks remain difficult business conditions and poor infrastructure, reliance on commodity exports, political tension in some countries and debt sustainability due to high levels of public debt in most economies in the region.
According to the analyst's stock markets valuations remain attractive for long-term investors.
SSA economic growth remained relatively strong in 2018.
This is according to the World Bank as preliminary data indicates that the region recorded a 2.7 percent GDP growth in 2018, a rise from 2.3 percent recorded in 2017.
In East Africa, a rebound in growth was recorded in Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya, which grew by 7.7 percent, 6.8 percent and 6 percent, respectively, as at the third quarter of 2018 driven by improved agricultural performance attributed to improved weather conditions.
A slowdown was however recorded in Tanzania mainly underpinned by an unfavorable investment climate following President John Magufuli's stringent policy changes.
In Western Africa, several countries recorded growths of 6. Percent and above which include Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, and Senegal.
There was however subdued growth in other countries in the region such as Nigeria with the subdued growth being attributed to a decline in oil production, which was due to pipeline closures during the period.
In the Southern Africa region, growth was subdued in South Africa and Angola, which are the two major economies in the region.
Growth in Angola, the region's second largest oil exporter was dampened by reduced oil output following the maturity of key oil fields.
