'The Walking Dead': Two roads diverged in a wood, and we took the wrong one
By Therese Odell on March 22, 2016 at 3:30 PM
"Twice as Far"
Just three buddies out for a stroll. What could possibly go wrong? (AMC)
If you're looking for the previous episode, you can find it right here: "The Same Boat."
Following their raid on the Sanctuary, Alexandria has fallen into a steady routine:
Pantry Lady takes inventory of the pantry
Gabriel patrols the grounds
Dr. Mullet and Sasha guard the walls, nod at each other knowingly
Morgan practices Jedi-ing with his Jedi stick
Carol prays with her new rosary beads, smokes, hangs out with that Tobin guy
Meanwhile, Morgan has been spending his time building a prison cell, explaining to an incredulous Rick that it will "give [him] choices next time."
Daryl tinkers with his bike on which he finds a toy soldier — the same toy soldier that D guy was whittling before he betrayed Daryl and stole his bike and crossbow. Daryl and Carol share a smoke and she asks if the people in "the burnt forest" were the ones that took the motorcycle after he saved them. Daryl grunts that he should have killed them. As it will turn out, he's not wrong. Daryl then asks Carol what the people who took her and Maggie did to them, and Carol tells him "nothing," but she doesn't mean it, not really.
Elsewhere, Rosita is sleeping with that worthless Spencer guy, but she's not into him. He practically begs her to have dinner, and she's like, "UGH, FINE, WHATEVER, JUST QUIT TALKING TO ME."
(crushable.com)
After Spencer goes away, Dr. Denise approaches Rosita and suggests that rather than do their daily training, she has another idea: when she fled D.C., she noticed there was an apothecary in a nearby strip mall and she thinks there might still be drugs there. How about Rosita and Daryl escort her back there, and they can stock up on some much-needed meds? Rosita and Daryl are skeptical about taking her outside of the walls, but she's insistent that if they don't take her, she'll go alone, so they're like, "FINE. GET IN THE TRUCK."
Also out on a little jaunt: Abraham and Dr. Mullet, who has pulled his signature mullet back into a ponytail. EVERYTHING I KNOW IS WRONG. UP IS DOWN. DOWN IS UP. RICK IS EVIL. CAROL DOESN'T WANT TO KILL. DR. MULLET NO LONGER HAS A MULLET. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.
The change has shaken Abraham, too, who wonders what the hairdo is all about, and Dr. Mullet explains that this is Stage Two: he's changing, adapting, surviving.

R.I.P. mullet.
Dr. Mullet leads Abraham to their destination: a forge where Dr. Mullet plans to create new bullets. Both Alexandria and Hilltop have limited supplies, so why not create new ones? Abraham is duly impressed! However, it doesn't last long. When Viserys the Walker comes stumbling out from the back of the building…
… Dr. Mullet calls "dibs," only to have his machete bounce off of Viserys' iron helmet. After stumbling around with Viserys for a while, Dr. Mullet very nearly gets his face eaten before Abraham steps in to finish what Khal Drogo started. However, Dr. Mullet is not appreciative of the assist, insisting that HE CALLED DIBS. With that, Dr. Mullet thanks Abraham for his protection, but Abraham's services are no longer required. Abraham is all, "WELL FINE THEN," before stomping away.
Over on Dr. Denise's adventure with Daryl and Rosita, they drive along in the truck (whose stick shift proves to be the one thing Daryl can't handle), until they arrive to a point in the road blocked by a fallen tree. Forced to go on foot, Dr. Denise points out that according to the map, taking the road would be twice as far as following the railroad tracks, but Daryl's not having it. NO RAILROAD TRACKS. But I guess because she's all depressed after being dumped by Abraham, Rosita opts to take the tracks alone.
Eventually, the trio meet back up and pry their way into Edison's apothecary which is filled with reading glasses and clothes and baby pictures under the front counter. When Daryl and Rosita break into the back pharmacy area, something starts thumping in the next room, and Daryl and Rosita dismiss it as a trapped walker.
However, Dr. Dummy decides to go investigate and walks into literally one of the creepiest scenes in The Walking Dead history: a small room littered with children's books, an empty playpen, a de-jawed walker with a cast on her leg, the words "HUSH HUSH HUSH…" written repeatedly on the walls, and a small tub filled with a viscous red-black liquid and one tiny toddler's shoe.
(reddit.com)
Reasonably, Dr. Denise backs out of this nightmare and instead uses her time going through the keychain display until she finds one she likes: Dennis. Later, she explains to Daryl that it was her twin brother's name: her drunk parents that naming their twins Denise/Dennis would be a hilarious life-long joke. She then goes on to describe her brother as brave and angry, and Daryl can relate.
And then Daryl decides to take the railroad tracks back.
Along the way, Dr. Denise spots in a car a cooler being ferociously guarded by a walker, but DAMMIT, TARA NEEDS A SODA! and decides to take her chances. She opens the passenger door, the walker lunges and manages to knock her to the ground, but unlike Dr. Mullet, Dr. Denise is successful in stabbing her attacker in the head. Getting up, Dr. Denise throws up her oatmeal breakfast right onto her glasses, but even despite this is all, "THAT WAS AWESOME!" And her take-home prize? One can of orange soda.
Rosita wonders if she's seriously so stupid as to risk her life for a Fanta, and Dr. Denise begins giving this whole big pep talk about how she needed to face her fears and she should have gone with Tara on her run and she asked Daryl to come with her on this run because he reminds her of her brother, and she asked Rosita to come because she knows Rosita is alone but wants her to know how strong she is. They are strong, smart, good people and if they don't wake up …
… and that's when she's shot through the eye with a crossbow's arrow. Daryl's crossbow.
Daryl and Rosita quickly realize they are outnumbered by a group led by the guy who stole Daryl's bike and crossbow, and, even worse, somehow this group has Dr. Mullet. Abraham, meanwhile, is hiding out behind some barrels, being sneaky.
As the crossbow/bike thief (whose face is now half-burnt) orders his men to take Daryl and Rosita's weapons, he explains to Daryl that he's still getting used to the crossbow, "she kicks like a bitch," before adding that he wasn't actually aiming for Dr. Denise. Daryl mumbles that he should have killed him back in the woods, and Two Face is like, "Yeah, probably," before introducing himself as Dwight. Dwight then explains that Daryl and Rosita are going to take them back to their community and allow them to take whatever and whomever they'd like, or they are going to start killing them one by one, starting with Dr. Mullet.
Dr. Mullet, however, has different ideas and yells that if they're going to start killing people, they should start with the guy hiding behind the oil barrels. But when Dwight's men go to investigate, Dr. Mullet takes the opportunity to bite Dwight's manbits. NOM NOM NOM, and Daryl and Rosita are able to grab their weapons. Shooting all the Saviors, shooting all the Saviors, shooting all the Saviors. And somewhere in the chaos, Dr. Mullet is shot in the side. Soon, Dwight and what remains of his men decide it's not worth having their manpieces chomped off and flee back from whence they came, leaving Daryl's crossbow behind.
Rosita manages to stop Daryl from chasing after them, and instead, he, Abraham and Rosita carry Dr. Mullet back to safety.
Dr. Mullet recovers in the infirmary, in part thanks to the antibiotics Dr. Denise led them to. Once awake, Dr. Mullet tells Abraham that he wasn't really trying to get him killed, and Abraham congratulates Dr. Mullet on knowing how to "bite a [manpart]," before welcoming him to "Stage Two."
Abraham then marches outside and heads to Sasha's, where he declares he's ready to spend 30 years with her. LOL LOL OK.
Meanwhile, Daryl buries Dr. Denise with her Dennis keychain.
R.I.P. Dr. Denise. Merritt Wever, I knew you wouldn't be long for this show, you're too good an actress, but I didn't expect you to be taken so soon. ~sob~
You deserved better, Dr. Denise. (Gene Page/AMC)
And all of this is apparently too much for Carol who leaves a note for Tobin to find reading:
I wish it didn't have to end, not this way. It was never my intention to hurt you, but it's how it has to be. We have so much here – people, food, medicine, walls, everything we need to live. But what we have other people want, too – and that will never change. If we survive this threat and it's not over, another one will be back to take its place, to take what we have. I love you all here. I do. And I'd have to kill for you. And I can't. I won't. Rick sent me away and I wasn't ever gonna come back, but everything happened and I wound up staying. But I can't anymore. I can't love anyone because I can't kill for anyone. So I'm going, like I always should have. Don't come after me, please.
WELL, JUST SUPER. SOMEONE GO GET HER, PLEASE.
I don't have a whole heck of a lot to add about this particular episode, in part because it really is just another piece amping up the escalating tensions between Team Rick and the Saviors. That said, so far? The Saviors don't seem like much of threat. Consider: according to The Walking Dead wikia, Daryl, Rosita and Abraham killed at least 7 Saviors in this episode; Maggie and Carol killed 8 Saviors in the previous episode, and Rick killed 1; Team Rick killed at least 24 Saviors in the raid on the Sanctuary; and Daryl, Abraham and Sasha killed 6 Saviors in their first run-in with them. This is a lot of Saviors! How big can this group be? And considering the Saviors have killed one Dr. Lady to Team Rick's 46 (!!!!) Saviors it hardly seems like a fair fight. I understand that Negan is supposed to be "the greatest TV villain ever" and perhaps the writers are lulling us and Team Rick into a false sense of superiority and security. But they are really going to have to do something spectacular to make Negan and the Saviors be scarier than the likes of Rick and Carol right about now.
A quick note: though it might be obvious, even though they didn't identify themselves as such, yes, those guys who killed Dr. Denise were most likely Saviors. For one, the writers have not to this point given us multiple enemies at once. But more importantly, Dwight follows the same pattern as all the other Saviors we've met and heard about: they kill one person to make their point, demand to know where Team Rick is living, and announce that they are going to take what they want from them. (They also follow the same pattern as the other Saviors in being easily killed by Team Rick, but I digress.)
So, what's the deal with Dwight? Wasn't he running away from someone when we first met him, maybe the Saviors? And why is his face now burnt? Good questions! And the answers come from the comics, so scroll over if you don't mind being spoiled (and I actually discussed some of this before we knew Dwight was Dwight, so apologies if it feels repetitive):
As you probably know, Daryl doesn't exist in the comics, so the whole scene where the bike and crossbow are stolen in the burnt woods never happened. We don't actually meet Dwight in the comics until the equivalent of this episode;, except there, he kills Abraham with the crossbow (that is actually his), and he captures Dr. Mullet who takes him to the Alexandria gates. There, Dr. Mullet bites Dwight, and Team Rick is able to fire upon the Saviors and drive them away. This point is interesting, mostly because as of this point on the show the Saviors still have no idea where Alexandria is. But we know that Negan's coming, which means on the show the Saviors probably end up capturing someone — or following someone — who leads them back to Alexandria. Carol? Daryl?
In the comics, Dwight eventually turns against Negan, and reveals to Team Rick that when he and his wife, Sherry, joined the Saviors, Sherry volunteered to become one of Negan's "wives" to better Dwight's position in the group. However, one night she snuck back to Dwight and slept with him. When Negan learned of this, he burned Dwight's face with an iron. This is one of the reasons Dwight eventually betrays Negan, and takes over the leadership of the Saviors. In the show, we meet Dwight when he and two women are running from a group who appear to be Saviors. The assumption by the comic readers who recognized him as Dwight was that he was trying to run away with two of Negan's wives. If that's the case, we can fill in some of the blanks: after he leaves with Daryl's stuff he was caught by the Saviors, they took the bike, let him keep the crossbow and burned his face — but didn't kill him — as punishment. Which, to be fair, does provide some interesting insight into Negan and how he deals with his followers. As for the rest, we'll have to wait and see where Dwight goes from here.
The only other thing I would point out about this episode was the abundance of child and childhood imagery in this episode: Daryl discovers that toy soldier on his bike; Rosita complains about having to "babysit" Denise; obviously all the pictures of the child, the children's books, the playpen, and the toddler's shoe in that nightmare room; and Dr. Mullet's exchange with Abraham was very much like a petulant toddler who WANTS TO DO IT HIMSELF — which was similar to Dr. Denise's own journey to prove that she is also capable of defending herself.
I don't know that there is anything particularly significant about all the childhood symbolism other than to be unsettling. Children represent innocence, hope, vulnerability, and in this world those things are in short supply. Particularly in the apothecary, the remnants of childhood reflect a world gone horribly, horribly wrong. It could be argued that the childhood motif is meant to underscore Dr. Mullet and Dr. Denise's desires to be active rather than passive: to be able to defend themselves rather than always need to be protected, like a child. But other than that? I think it was intended just to set the mood. One creepy, creepy mood.
Only two episodes left!
Who will Negan's first victim be on 'The Walking Dead'?

Rick returns to Alexandria and reports this news, and the townsfolk formulate a dangerous plan to release the walkers and lead them some 20 miles away.
Against Glenn's direct order, Nicholas volunteers to help. This will later have significant implications for everyone involved.

Before Rick and his people can release the walkers, the walkers release themselves, and Rick and the Alexandrians are forced to enact the plan without the benefit of a practice run. A few red shirts are killed in the woods, but otherwise the plan works pretty well ... until a loud horn begins blaring from the direction of Alexandria, drawing the attention of half the horde of walkers who begin shuffling towards the community.

Carney announces $60M Opportunity Funding Initiative for disadvantaged students
Submitted News
Gov. John Carney, Delaware Education Secretary Susan Bunting and education advocates announced Jan. 15 a three-year, $60 million Opportunity Funding initiative to target resources toward Delaware's disadvantaged students.
This program, for the first time in Delaware, will provide weighted funding for low-income and English learner students in schools across Delaware. Every Delaware school district will receive a per-pupil appropriation for each English learner and low-income student they educate. In the next three years, the Delaware Department of Education will work with district and school leaders, community representatives, parents and educators to evaluate how districts are using the funding and to measure the progress of these students.
"Delaware is one of only a handful of states that does not target additional resources for low-income and English learner students — students who we know need additional resources to reach their fullest potential. This Opportunity Funding initiative will change that," said Carney. "Despite the efforts of committed educators and school leaders, many of these students are not getting the education they deserve. If we expect all Delaware children to have access to a world-class education, this is an issue that we can't afford to ignore. Every child, regardless of their background, can learn and deserves every opportunity to succeed."
The program initially will be funded with a mix of ongoing and one-time funding in Carney's fiscal 2020 budget proposal. The $20 million annually could be used by districts to fund additional reading and math specialists, counselors, trauma-informed training, after-school programming and smaller class sizes, among other potential uses. District spending plans must be approved by the Department of Education, and spending authorized under the initiative must directly benefit low-income and English learner students.
The Department of Education will work with an independent entity to evaluate results under the new initiative, and a separate commission of community leaders, parents and educators will help evaluate the program's success and spotlight best practices to achieve results for these students.
"As a former superintendent, I can tell you how valued this extra funding will be by our schools. Our English learners and our students from low-income families need more support," said Bunting. "We long have been one of only a handful of states that doesn't give additional funding for these students. Thank you to Gov. Carney for making sure that changes today."

In everyday conversation, "epic" is often slang for superb or excellent. The term is also applied to productions on a large or grandiose scale (novels, movies).
The modern use is a metaphorical extension of its basic meaning, a literary genre consisting of an extended verse narrative. In the Western tradition, the first great epics were Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The term is also applied to similar narratives in other traditions -- for example, the Indian Mahabharata. Even in literary criticism, one sometimes finds it used for works which do not strictly qualify -- for example, Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself."
Non-literary uses like "epic movie" or "epic event" are common in advertising and occasionally appear even in formal prose.

U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem
This coming week the United States of America will officially move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The selected date, May 14, 2018, comes exactly 70 years after the declaration of the establishment of the modern state of Israel with its capital in Jerusalem.
On May 14, 1948, the longing of the Jewish people for the return to Zion, memorialized in its prayers and literature for almost two thousand years, had finally become a reality. Within hours of its nascent existence the country was attacked by all the surrounding Arab nations whose declared intention was to "drive the Jews into the sea."
The decision by the United States to recognize Jerusalem last December as the legal and eternal capital of Israel, and the follow-up move of the American embassy to Israel's capital city in the coming days, will open up the path for greater recognition of the Jewish state and its designated capital by nations of the world.
By giving these nations diplomatic cover to follow the courageous lead of the United States they can now recognize Jerusalem as the national capital of Israel and accordingly, relocate their respective embassies to Jerusalem, and just as importantly pursue closer relations with the Jewish state.
Guatemala, one of the first states to recognize Israel after its declaration of nationhood in 1948, has already announced its intention to move its embassy to Jerusalem the day after the American move. Many other states are now contemplating moving their respective embassies there in the not too distant future.
For all of Israel's modern existence the Arabs of Palestine have rejected the reality of the Jewish State and cling to the fantasy that they can undo this historical fact and dismantle any Jewish presence in the Middle East. This delusion is the single most significant factor why every Israeli concession to the Palestinian Arabs has been rejected and every peace negotiation has failed.
All the blame for the failed peace negotiations and complete rejection of the reality of Israel cannot be placed solely on the shoulders of the Arab world. The majority of the nations of the world, following the leadership of the West (with the exception for the most part of the United States and a few other smaller nations), have encouraged the continued Arab delusion that the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland can be reversed.
They have been able to play out this diplomatic dance mostly under the banner of a hypocritical and corrupt United Nations, who originally embraced Zionism as the legitimate aspiration of the Jewish people, only to later condemn it as racism. They have looked the other way as terrorism against Israel and the Jewish people grew and did not see it as a menace to civilization itself until they themselves became victims of these barbaric acts.
Thankfully, the world view is changing as Israel is recognized as a role model for many young nations as a free and democratic society where human rights and equality are embraced, where Jewish nationalism has created a society that seeks peace and improvement of the lives of not only its own people, but to bring the benefits of their achievements to the world at large.
The American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital sends a clear message to the world that Israel is here to stay, and that it has taken its proper place among the global family of nations. As all the failed wars against the Jewish state in its 70 years of existence have demonstrated, those who continue to oppose Israel's existence are engaging upon an exercise in futility whose efforts will be relegated to a minor footnote of history.

As the buildings will be a pair of buildings either side of the pier, this is what they would look like as a pair
Four styles of Roof to consider
Comments to shotleypier@gmail.com are welcomed
Setback for Pier as Planning Permission Refused
Our application was actually recommended for approval and had widespread support to help us move the project forward. The discussion was illogical at times, and the Babergh Solicitor kept telling objecting councillors the reasons they were giving were not valid in planning law. After the vote of 7 against 6, the 7 councillors struggled for 11 minutes to give reasons that could be put in the council minutes. We have been advised we have good grounds for appeal. Following the many emails and comments from investors, the Board is weighing up next steps, looking at whether to appeal and whether to revise the plans. Most of the 38 objections came from the Sailing Club next door, and the small vocal group who have objected to every stage of our project. We have been approached by the Marina to have talks with them and other local businesses, and as ever, we are always ready to listen to opinions. Investors are very welcome to give opinions to the volunteers, either by chatting or by emailing shotleypier@gmail.com We have been shortlisted for 3 major grants, all of them require planning permission to be in place before they make an award, so we need to progress to planning permission as soon as possible. Mis-information was spread that we intended to open an 84 seater restaurant, and this clearly influenced councillors who believed we were trying to steal trade from the nearby pub and marina. It was hard to stomach the comment from Councillor Busby that our volunteers would ruin other local traders when we all feel that extra visitors will benefit all traders there, and we have no intention of serving restaurant meals, only light refreshments. Tables and chairs are not only for eating at ! Some people have said why not just repair the pier without a building on it? The proposed buildings are not going to be on the pier, they would be on decking alongside the pier, we hoped for a workshop for volunteer maintenance of the pier, plus a visitor centre as is normal on a pier, to enable us to hold pier-related activities. The kind of activity our Visitor Centre expects to have: Leaning on the railings to bird watch Junior craft activities in the school holidays to enjoy the pier Creative leisure such as art and photography Enjoying looking at the views while strolling or sitting inside…
Memoir of the Pier
We are seeking to interview people who have memories of the Pier. The Board has always wanted to celebrate the personal stories of people who care about the pier. We've teamed up with author Robert Ashton, for whom this will be his 20th published book. As a child Robert lived at Brantham and so used to visit the pier himself more than 50 years ago. His book will be an exploration into the pier's past, its present, and the hopes people have for its future. He's describing the book, which will be titled 'River of Hope' as a collective biography, sharing the stories of those he meets or speaks to, both by design and also by chance. Robert takes his inspiration from George Ewart Evans, who wrote about rural Suffolk before the Great War. He too wrote the stories of people he met, capturing them before they were lost. Robert is currently researching the book and conducting interviews, some face to face and some over the phone. If you would like to share your story about the pier, please contact Robert by email, robert@robertashton.co.uk or get in touch with us and we'll make an introduction. He hopes to have the interviews completed by mid-September, so that the book can be published in time for Christmas. The book will be a fundraiser for the pier, as well hope, as spreading word about why this project is so important. Contact robert@robertashton.co.uk
Share Certificates go to Holland
As share certificates start to be issued to our 520 investors, one special group in Holland were having a very special family reunion, and our volunteer Casper took the opportunity to present certificates to all those he had persuaded to take part Clan Holland as we call them, are all related to Casper de Boer who has lived in Shotley for many years, becoming a well known dutch settler. He has enthusiastically introduced the idea of sharing ownership of the pier with his clan, and we are looking forward to putting a cluster of celebratory plaques up for them. Here is the family video of Casper presenting the share certificates to his relatives in Holland, thank you all for your kind support of our community project.

Pope Michael IV of Alexandria, also known as Khail IV, 68th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.

He was initially a monk at the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great in Scetes. He later went to a place near Singar, where he lived in a cave for more than 20 years. On 12 Paopi, 809 A.M. (9 October 1092 AD), he was ordained Pope of Alexandria. He was known for his love of the poor and needy, and for spending the church money on paying the Jizya for those Copts who could not afford to pay it, so that they could keep their Christianity.

The Arabic historian al-Makin is quoted by later historians as recounting that Pope Michael IV made a journey to Ethiopia to ask that country's Emperor to allow the Nile to flood to its normal levels, which would end the current famine. Trimingham dismisses this as only a legend.

Michael IV departed on 30 Pashons, 818 A.M. (25 May 1102 AD) He remained on the Throne of Saint Mark for 9 years, 7 months, and 17 days.

I have a registered version of FM7 as well as Astro 1.0. However, as they are older versions, I cannot install on my Win7 machine. My question is if I purchase the upgrades, will they install without having the older versions on my machine? Or do I need to purchase the non-upgrade versions?
Hi Deej, Yes, the upgrades will install without the older version present. They are full installers.
Thanks! That's all I needed to know.

This 60' Aeromotor LS-42 tower featured a 7'x7' steel cab. It was originally erected on Windbeam Mountain in 1920. In 1971, it was relocated to Ringwood State Park using National Guard and volunteer labor. It was subsequently destroyed by vandals. The remains were removed to Ramapo Mountain State Forest and rebuilt beginning in 1983.

Ancient Ink
Book by Lars Krutak, Ancient Ink Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Ancient Ink books, The desire to alter and adorn the human body is universal. While specific forms of body decoration, and the underlying motivations, vary according to region, culture, and era, all human societies have engaged in practices designed to augment and enhance their natural appearance. Tattooing, the process of inserting pigment into the skin to create permanent designs and patterns, appears on human mummies by 3200 BCE and was practiced by ancient cultures throughout the world. Ancient Ink, the first book dedicated to the archaeological study of tattooing, presents new research from across the globe examining tattooed human remains, tattoo tools, and ancient art. It contributes to our understanding of the antiquity, durability, and significance of tattooing and human body decoration and illuminates how different societies have used their skin to construct their identities. Ancient Ink connects ancient body art traditions to modern culture through Indigenous communities and the work of contemporary tattoo artists.

Roosevelt Island's NYC Council Member Ben Kallos announced at last night's Town Hall Meeting the formation of a NYPD Explorers Program on Roosevelt Island for residents 14 - 20 years of age.
The Law Enforcement Explorers Program is coming to Roosevelt Island in a partnership between the 114th Precinct, the Public Safety Department and Council Member Ben Kallos' Office, it was announced today. After a 20-year-old was shot in the abdomen on April 25 in the Roosevelt Landings Complex, stakeholders came together to find a safe and productive outlet for young Roosevelt Islanders. A May 27 event at Good Shepherd Center at 7 p.m., co-sponsored by Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright, the 114th Precinct, RIOC and the Public Safety Department will introduce the community to the Law Enforcement Explorers and young people sign up.
The NYPD Law Enforcement Explorers is an educational program for New Yorkers ages 14-20 aimed towards community service and laying the groundwork for a career in law enforcement. Students learn from the five experience areas: Life Skills, Service Learning, Character Education, Leadership Experience, and Career. Roosevelt Island youth will be transported to and from the 114th Precinct for the program, which will meet regularly. There are also opportunities to apply for additional programming. Each Explorer program has an Officer as an on-site Post Advisor, and there are about 4,000 posts across New York City. It only costs $24/year, which makes it a low-cost and effective way to prepare teenagers for college and career.
"Mentorship and training from NYPD Law Enforcement Explorers is our answer to recent gun violence on Roosevelt Island. We are providing youth ages 14 to 20 with programming that will set them on a path to free or low-cost college and a career. Answering violence with compassion will lift our community and our youth," said Council Member Ben Kallos.
"We are excited to partner with our local elected officials and the 114th Precinct to bring the NYPD Explorers Program to Roosevelt Island. The initiative will help facilitate a broader understanding of law enforcement services and will provide for opportunities for our island youth to work closely with officers from our Public Safety Department and the NYPD. Participants will not only gain a working knowledge of law enforcement work, but will also have the opportunity to learn about the importance of service and giving back to their community," said Charlene Indelicato, President and Chief Executive Officer, Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation.
The NYPD Law Enforcement Explorers is one of the Department's best community programs geared towards our youth. The program is geared for individuals aged 14-20 looking to pursue a career in law enforcement. The 114 Precinct in conjunction with Councilmember Ben Kallos and Roosevelt Island Public Safety is very proud to host the first Roosevelt Island NYPD Explorer initiative. We are looking to target our Roosevelt Island youth. Anyone interested please join us on May 27," said Captain Peter Fortune, Commanding Officer of the 114th Precinct.
"During my tenure with the NYPD, I commanded three (3) Patrol Precincts, each of which had an Explorer Post, giving me an opportunity to see the benefits of Exploring first hand. A sense of belonging, accomplishment, and good citizenship are a few of those benefits. I look forward to working with our local elected officials, the 114th Precinct, and our Public Safety Department in affording this opportunity to the younger people of Roosevelt Island," said John McManus, Roosevelt Island Director of Public Safety.
"The RIRA Public Safety Committee supports the creation of services for this population, believing that if engaged in productive activities, with purposeful direction, there will be an improvement in the quality of life of all. We support this initiative," said Erin Feely-Nahem, Chair of the Roosevelt Island Residents Association Public Safety Committee.

Kallos flyer calls for meeting in the past, March 27. A typo?
March 27, 2015 was a Friday. May 27, 2015 is a Wednesday.
The meeting is on May 27. Kallos says it on video and in press release. The March date on flyer is incorrect.


Over the last few days there has been a lot of discussion on related lines. Many people have been writing about the UI changes in Leopard and the iPhone, and what impact they will have on the traditional Mac UI.
The iPhone is not just a new platform, it's an entirely new set of rules for interface design. That is what struck me the most once the actual iPhone demos started. There are no windows, no close/minimize/zoom widgets, no checkboxes, no radio buttons, no scroll bars, no nothing.
Yes, there are features that look and act sort of like the traditional GUI widgets from desktop OSes. For example, there's this vestigial little scrolling thing on the side of some screens (see, I was going to say "windows"), but it appears to simply be a visual indicator of scroll position. The actual scrolling is done by flicking your finger as if the entire screen is a big plank of wood floating on the water. Flick anywhere and whoosh, watch it glide. This is no scroll bar.
Anyway, back on topic, the iPhone will definitely be a new frontier for developers. This is the most exciting part of the iPhone for me: a whole new set of rules for a new kind of UI. Who knows where it could lead—maybe even back to the Mac, some day. But as in the real frontier days, expect some hard river crossings, cholera, dysentery, and maybe, if we're lucky, a bounty of wild fruit.
I'm not going to argue with John: he's much smarter than me, and I agree with him (which makes him that much smarter, right?). But I can't help but point out that its a little bit ironic that John, who has long been a stickler for UI consistency, is now looking forward to the day when these new UI paradigms come to the Mac, cavalierly tossing aside the existing HIG. Of course, you can make the argument that new UI paradigms are appropriate when new HI input and output devices come on the scene. But I also believe that this argument applies equally well to the paradigm shift brought on by the Web and from Flash in particular.
Doesn't sound much like the current HIG, does it? Of course, Wil isn't the kind of developer who keeps a copy of the HIG in his bedside drawer. Delicious Library definitely takes liberties with those guidelines, but it does so to bring a better experience. Not coincidentally, that better experience definitely took some of its cues from the Web.
Functionality-wise, Time Machine is a banal program — a content-version-control system that makes periodic, automated backups of a computer's hard drive.
But Apple's take on the age-old task of incremental backups features a 3-D visual browser that allows users to move forward and backward through time using a virtual "time tunnel" reminiscent of a Doctor Who title sequence. It's completely unlike any interface currently used in Mac OS X.
Finally, see this article on Blackfriar's Marketing where they predict a core animation overhaul of the entire Mac OS UI.
I bring up all these examples not to decry Apple's efforts, but to point out how much such efforts are needed to bring the Mac UI paradigm in line with the needs of today's applications and today's hardware. Nor am I trying to give Flash credit for all the UI innovations in the iPhone or Leopard: Apple is doing fantastic work these days and the iPhone in particularly looks truly ground-breaking. But I also want to make sure that when people look at these new products, that they realize what its influences truly were.
In any event, I'm greatly anticipating Monday's keynote to see what Apple's cooked up and how it might impact third party developers big and small.

Police call for US diplomat's wife to be returned to UK over teen's death
Louise Burne
Police are calling for a US diplomat's wife to be extradited back to the UK so that she can be questioned over the death of a British teenager.
Harry Dunn, 19, was killed in August when his motorbike collided with a car that was coming out of a US Airforce military base in Northamptonshire.
The wife of the US Diplomat, who currently has immunity in the case, was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road when her car collided with Harry's motorbike.

She later left the UK under diplomatic immunity.
However, police in the UK have now written to the American Embassy, asking for the woman to be returned to the UK.
They are also asking that her immunity be waived.

Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, families of diplomats have immunity from being arrested or detained.
A spokesperson for Harry Dunn's parents says that the British police have asked US forces to waive the woman's immunity but 'the answer has always come back as no'.
Harry's family recently told Sky News that their family is devastated following his death.

'She's a left a family in complete ruin,' Harry's mother Charlotte told the broadcaster.
'We are utterly shocked and appalled that someone is allowed to get on a plane and go home and avoid our justice system'.

Charlotte also told ITV News that the family is prepared to travel to the US to pursue matters there if they have to.
It is believed that the family will meet with British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab this week to figure out if they can bring the diplomat's wife back to the UK.

It's Superman! by Tom De Haven
It's Superman! by Tom De Haven (2005)
Coming of age in rural 1930s America with unusual skills like X-ray vision and the power to stop bullets, Clark Kent takes us along on his coming-of-age journey of self-discovery. Covering years (May 1935 through February 1938), the story takes him from Smallville to New York (Metropolis). A Young Clark Kent, newly hired "Daily Planet" reporter; Lois Lane; and evil criminal mastermind Alexander "Lex" Luthor come to life in It's Superman! This is a fascinating idea. The story is as inventive and thrilling as it is touching and wise.

Sandeep Patil - India's Most Impactful Batsman In the 1983 World Cup Fairytale
Only Kapil Dev had a higher strike rate than Patil for all batsmen who scored at least 200 runs in the tournament. The average strike rate of these batsmen was 66.36.
Last Updated:June 25, 2021, 07:23 IST
Nikhil Narain
He was at Number 16 in Runs Tally. He had the third-lowest batting average amongst the 19 batsmen who scored a minimum of 200 runs in the tournament.
Three Indian batsmen had a higher aggregate – Kapil Dev, Yashpal Sharma and Mohinder Amarnath.
And yet, according to Impact Index – a holistic and comprehensive cricket analytical system which gives context to every match and performance, it was Sandeep Patil, who was not only India's most impactful batsman of the 1983 World Cup but also the second-highest impact batsman, after Viv Richards who scored 151 runs more than him in the tournament!
Patil did not score any big runs – he managed just 216 runs in 8 innings at a modest average of 30.85 including two fifties in the tournament. But what stood out was the timing and context of his performances and the rapid rate at which he scored his runs.
In India's tournament opener against the two-time defending World Cup holders, West Indies, at Manchester, Patil came in to bat at 46 for 2, steadied the innings with a useful 30-run stand with Amarnath before adding 49 with Yashpal Sharma. His 36 off 52 deliveries laid the foundation for Sharma and the all-rounders to take India to a respectable total and then pull off a great upset – against probably the greatest team in cricket history. This win gave India the self-belief and momentum early in the tournament.

Chasing a modest 156 against Zimbabwe at Leicester, India were in a bit of bother at 32 for 2, again having lost both their openers – Gavaskar and Srikkanth early. Zimbabwe had upset Australia in the previous encounter at Trent Bridge and were no pushovers. Patil joined Amarnath and counter-attacked smashing 7 fours and a six effectively sealing the match for India with a 54-ball 50.
In a virtual Quarter-Final against Australia at Chelmsford, Patil again walked out and joined Sharma with India in trouble having lost the big 3 with just 65 on the board. The duo did what they knew best – they were aggressive and they took on the likes of Thomson, Lawson and Hogg – adding a quickfire 53 for the fourth-wicket. Patil's 25-ball 30 gave the innings the necessary momentum and useful contributions from the middle and lower order took India to a respectable 247, which ultimately proved too much for Australia.

Patil wasn't done yet. He had reserved his best for the big stage – the semi-final! It was a high pressure match against the fancied home team at Manchester. Chasing 214 for a historic win, India lost their Mr Dependable – Amarnath for a patient 46 with the score at 142. India still had the upper hand, but had to cope with the pressure of chasing in the semi-final in front of a home crowd – there was tension in the air.
And once again, it was left to the pair of Sharma and Patil to take India home. They did not disappoint with Patil playing the role of the aggressor. He hammered an unbeaten 51 off just 32 deliveries including 8 boundaries and put together a match-winning 63 for the fourth-wicket with Sharma. India had beaten the hosts to enter the World Cup Final.
What separated Patil from the other batsmen in the match was his attitude and courage and the sheer audacity to take the attack to the opposition bowlers. While Patil scored at a strike rate of 159.37, the average strike rate of all the other batsmen in the match was a mere 50.6! This means he had scored his runs at three times the pace as the other batsmen in the match – this was no ordinary achievement!
In fact, this was the second-highest strike rate innings (for any score of 50 or more) in the tournament. But Imran Khan's 56 off 33 deliveries came against a weak Sri Lankan team in Sawnsea at the beginning of the tournament. In contrast, Patil produced his best in the knockouts against a strong home team.
His contribution in the final is again not given the credit it deserves. 27 off 29 deliveries when seen in isolation does not make much of an impact. But when we account for context everything changes. Coming in to bat at 90 for 3, Patil did not get bogged down even as wickets fell around him. He kept the scoreboard ticking and took India to 153 before being the eighth batsman to fall.
The four batsmen before him scored at a collective strike rate of 42.54 – this suggested the going was tough against the likes of Holding, Garner, Roberts and Marshall. But this did not deter Patil whose strike rate at 93.1 was more than double of the four before him. The lower-order added a few invaluable runs and India managed to scrape through to 183. The rest is history!
So, Patil was India's second-highest scorer scoring at a much higher rate than other Indian batsmen in the two biggest matches of the tournament and probably Indian cricket history! That cannot be a coincidence!
Three qualities defined Patil's performance during the World Cup. He chipped in with useful contributions often coming out to bat under pressure when the team had lost early wickets.
Secondly and most significantly, he scored at a rate much higher than the match norm as is also reflective in his strike rate of 90 in the tournament – even higher than the great Richards (81.19)! Only Kapil Dev had a higher strike rate than Patil for all batsmen who scored at least 200 runs in the tournament. The average strike rate of these batsmen was 66.36. This shows his mindset and confidence as much as it highlights the phenomenal rate at which Patil was scoring his runs in the tournament. Patil had a career strike rate of 82.17 much higher than the standard of his times of 70.12 (for batting positions 3-6 where he batted).
He also exhibited a unique quality to produce his best in the biggest matches – contributing in all the three knockouts – with a defining performance in the semi-final and a supporting one in the virtual quarter-final and final.
Incidentally, this big-match temperament was not new to him – he had scored a match-winning 64 off just 55 deliveries against England in the series decider at Cuttack in January,1982. Characteristic of him, he came out to bat with the fall of early wickets and counter-attacked with Gavaskar holding fort at one end.
Add to his big-match play and ability to score at a faster pace, was his remarkable consistency in the tournament. He failed just twice in 8 matches.
While Kapil Dev's unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe, Yashpal Sharma's top-scores in 3 big matches, Amarnath's all-round show in the semi-final and final and Binny's 18 wickets do get their due recognition, the cricketing world has somehow forgotten the remarkable performances of Sandeep Patil in the 1983 World Cup.
Time he gets his due.

OLD COLONY MEMORIAL
Plymouth North volleyball hovering around .500 at midpoint of season
Plymouth North volleyball picked up a league win Monday over Marshfield.
David Wolcott Jr.
PLYMOUTH - There are always peaks and valleys to a season. The key is to keep the peaks in control and don't let the valleys get so deep that you can't pull yourself out of them.
After losing many of their starters from last season's strong team to graduation and having expected key cog of this year's group transfer to a prep school, the Plymouth North volleyball team knew they'd have a long road ahead of them this season. But with a 5-5 record at the midpoint of the season, things could definitely be worse for the Blue Eagles as they try to earn a spot in the Division 2 bracket of the new statewide post-season tournament.
North went on the road Monday and played well in a straight-set victory over Marshfield High. Things were a tougher Wednesday in a crossover game against a good Pembroke High squad, a match the Eagles lost by the score of 3-1.
"We've had some ups and downs with a couple of injuries early in the season that we had to work through, but I'd have to say that overall I'm happy with the way that we have looked so far," Eagles Head Coach Jane Burt said. "I see them starting to get into a little bit of a groove right now. I think our communication is improving, which is key in volleyball, and our serving continues to be really good."
And good team chemistry is always a plus, Burt said. "This group gets along together very nicely. Whether you are in the game or on the sidelines, they are all cheering and pulling for one another to do well."
As the second half of the season kicked into gear Thursday night at home against so-far undefeated Hingham High, there are some things Burt sees the need to improve for North to challenge some of the top teams in the Patriot League.
"I think we need to improve our hitting. We're strong there, but I see that kind of talent there where I think we can be stronger," Burt said.
Plymouth North raced out to a 3-0 start to the season with wins over Sandwich and two straight victories over Middleborough, In the last couple of weeks they picked up wins over Scituate and Marshfield. They've struggled against some of the top teams in the league with losses to Hanover, Whitman-Hanson, North Quincy, Duxbury, and most recently, Pembroke.
After Thursday's match with Hingham, the Eagles will fly across town to take on Plymouth South. They'll then travel to Silver Lake on Wednesday, and finally, they come home on Friday to host Quincy. Wins are key right now as the Eagles try to secure one of the 32 available seeds in the new state-wide state tournament.
