Q: Blazor: Select all option in dropdown So I pretty much have a dropdown (for filterting purposes) currently where you can select a fruit from a list which is pretty much a list which contains FruitDtos, and it works perfectly fine.
However, I would like to add an "All" option, but I'm unsure how to do that.
It looks like this in the .razor file:
                <Addon AddonType="AddonType.Body">
                    <Select TValue="int" SelectedValue="@SelectedListValue" SelectedValueChanged="@OnFruitChanged">
                        @foreach (FruitDto item in _fruitsList)
                        {
                            <SelectItem Disabled="@(item.FruitId == 0)" Value="@item.FruitId">@item.Name</SelectItem>
                        }
                    </Select>
                </Addon>

So _fruitsList contains all of the FruitDtos. Is there a way I can let the user select all of them at once? Tbh, I mostly want this option because right now you need to refresh the page in order to "deselect"/remove the filter.
int SelectedListValue { get; set; }
[Parameter] public FruitDto Fruit { get; set; }
        private async Task OnFruitChanged(int newValue)
        {
            SelectedListValue = newValue;

            Fruit = _fruitsList.Find(s => s.FruitId == newValue);
            await FruitChanged.InvokeAsync(Fruit);
            StateHasChanged();
        }

FruitDto just contains a string Name and int FruitId.

A: Blazorise's Select component offers a "Multiple" option as well. That might work well for what you are asking. Note that I did remove the Disabled attribute as I'm not sure how that was being used.
.razor:
<Select TValue="int" Multiple="true" SelectedValuesChanged="@OnFruitChanged">
    @foreach (FruitDto item in _fruitsList)
    {
        <SelectItem Value="@item.FruitId">@item.Name</SelectItem>
    }
</Select>

.cs:
protected List<int> SelectedListValues { get; set; }

protected void OnFruitChanged(IReadOnlyList<int> newValues)
{
    SelectedListValues = newValues.ToList();
}

If you want to clear the list, you could add a button "Clear Filters" which would have on OnClick to clear the list as well.

Accomplished local actor Shá Cage is presenting a three-part series of original works around the idea of identity. Last night I was fortunate to witness the world premiere of the second piece in the series, entitled U/G/L/Y, at Intermedia Arts as part of their Catalyst program. It's a truly unique and original creation, combining the arts of movement, storytelling, music, video, poetry, and visual art to explore the idea of beauty, particularly in women, particularly in women of color, but relatable on some level to all of us who live in this world. Shá's performance is, as always, powerful and moving, and she leaves the audience with plenty to think about.
Shá tells the stories of many women, easily slipping into their skin and bringing each of them specifically to life on stage. The stories are varied, some playful, some devastating, all told with the rawness of truth. At first it's a bit unclear on the surface how all of the stories relate to each other, but in the end they all sort of fall together to inform this idea of ugly vs. beautiful, ideas that are really just social constructs most of with struggle to break free of on a daily basis. The piece also incorporates video of women speaking about what they see and think when they look in the mirror, thoughts which are their own yet feel universal. When we look in the mirror, our eyes are typically drawn to our flaws, things that other people might not even notice. But as the women in the video look deeper, they are able to see the beauty in themselves beyond the supposed flaws.
I was completely fascinated watching Shá create little pieces of art on the floor with what I thought was sand, but later learned is actually grits (I'm from Minnesota, I don't think I've ever seen uncooked grits before). I have no idea what it means, but it's beautiful to watch. She also uses movement and dance, the rhythm of speaking, recorded voice, and a live violinist (Katherine Pehrson, with recorded music by Chastity Brown) to further develop the theme. This is more than just theater, it's performance art. It doesn't all make sense from a literal viewpoint, but it's not supposed to, it's supposed to engender thoughts and feelings and emotions, which is exactly what it does (judging from my own reaction as well as the very responsive audience).
It's interesting that this show is playing the same weekend that Park Square is opening The Color Purple, a story about a woman who is told she's ugly from the time she's a young girl. Through her long life journey, she's eventually able to recognize and own her own beauty, identity, and place in the world, singing "Most of all, I'm thankful for loving who I really am. I'm beautiful. Yes I'm beautiful, and I'm here." Shá's piece speaks to this same idea in a really unique and profound way.
Only two performances of U/G/L/Y at Intermedia Arts remain, after which it will embark on a world tour.

Chastity Brown was the artist for most of the pre-recorded music. Katherine Pehrson was the live violinist.
Thanks Katherine, I made the correction.

Commenter, if i may, allow me to give you a little advice. do not tell me what the ideals were for the West. Do not tell me what it "stands for". and most importantly, DO NOT TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS! you see, my friend, these "ideals" (namely, democracy and freedom of speech) are only that: ideals. today, where is my freedom of speech? if I want to tell people and preach to them in public about the reality of Islam, and their obligations as Muslims, and the Truth about the war on "terror", and if i preached with the mindset that I have "freedom of speech", then I would be arrested! I would be arrested because of what? because of preaching? because of expressing the Truth about my way of life? no, Commenter, The West does not stand for these things. the West stands for one thing and one thing only: secularism. the West stands for love of this world, and hatred of death. the West stands for people to forget about religion (seperation of Church and state, supposedly) in their politics, the West wants people to live for this world and not give a darn about the next. the West (namely America) is nothing but a disguised hypocrisy, as Malcom X said.
Now you want to talk freedom? fine. what freedom is available in America? letting women dress like whores in public and letting men defile them? throwing away the sanctity of marriage by allowing "gay marriage"? oh and lets not forget the most fun one: lets loan someone some money and make them pay back more than we lent them! Interest, my friend, is quite a wonderful feeling, isn't it? you want to talk about opression? the West and America opresses you in this world. they opress you against reality. they make you feel that it is right to put forth all your effort in the way of this life, and then all of a sudden, you're dead. you're dead, and you have to answer to God as to what you did with your life. you have to face Him on Judgement Day and tell him why you lived in and supported a system which violated His rules on marriage. you will have to tell Him why you lived in and supported a system where the honor of women was destroyed and they were encouraged to dress in a manner that only asked men to defile them. you will have to answer to Him as to why you accepted a system which worked for this world, and these people, instead of the next world, and God. only then will you realize how much you were opressed in this world. only then will you understand that the so-called "happier lives" you mention you lived were nothing but lies, and you will be left at the mercy of God. and on that day, my friend, you will not be questioned by God because you lived "a happy life being yourself", you will be questioned because you lived a life that he didnt want you to live.
You are not here to serve yourself. you are here because God put you here, and you owe Him (and only Him) your obedience and submission. This is the teaching of Islam, and this is the evil it fights against. I hope that maybe you might free your mind from the narrowness of this world into the vastness of the next. my regards.

Third Eye The Hard Way
What happens when you get shot between the eyes?
In the case of Joseph L. Greenstein, professionally known as The Mighty Atom, it seems to have opened his Third Eye.
The bullet "flattened out against his forehead."
He had been told by the strongman "Champion Volanko" that he was "different" than other men.
The bullet in the forehead made The Mighty Atom remember Volanko's words.
He had been bending horseshoes as part of his own strongman act, but now he realized he could take it to the next level.
He started tearing them in two.
According to "Joseph L. Greenstein, 'Mighty Atom'," The New York Times, Oct. 9, 1977 …
"Joseph L. Greenstein, a five-foot-four-and-a-half, 145-pound vaudevillian and strong man who was known as 'the Mighty Atom,' died yesterday at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center. He was 84 years old and lived in Brooklyn.
"Mr. Greenstein was noted for performances such as pulling a 32-ton truck and holding back an airplane with his hair. He also bit iron chains in half with his teeth and crushed steel bars over various parts of his body."
He's been called "the mightiest little man to have ever walked the earth."
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) claimed The Mighty Atom was Samson in a past life.
According to Nitty-Gritty …
"The art of bearing pain is necessary for strength. You find this in your soldiers. Those that could bear the pain longer than those who could not survived longer. Those who could not had to take a great deal of chemicals to deaden the pain, and they lost the organs from damage. Those that could bear the pain without chemicals, those organs survived, and they did not have to amputate."
"Utilizing pain for consciousness is a self-imposed nitrogenous action."
"Yogananda's brother was a strongman who used the principle of the wedge to perform many of his feats of strength."
"The wedge is where the unstoppable force meets the immovable object."
"With all your strength' is your breath. Oxygen induces rhythm, vital movement, timing."
My martial arts instructor stood erect and asked anyone in our class to push him off balance.
None of us succeeded, even the black belts, and certainly not the no-belts like me.
Using only his index fingers, and not leaning into me the slightest, he bulldozed me entirely across the room and up against the wall.
He poked me in the gut with both fingers, knocking the wind out of me, and admonished, "Learn to breathe!"

I wonder how the seals in the Arctic get their vitamin D.
Do they swim to San Diego every day to sunbathe, then swim back every night so Eskimo hunters can get their vitamin D?

Who really won at the Monsanto trial in San Francisco?
Whoever won, it wasn't We the People.
Driving from Carpinteria to San Rafael, Roberta complained, "I have to go to the bathroom."
I said, "Tell Adano and he'll pull over." (Adano Ley was in his truck in front of us.)
"How?" she asked.
"Mentally," I said.
She closed her eyes and asked.
Adano pulled over at the next exit.

This is the best we can do. Let's face it, we have very little to work with. Garbage in, garbage out.

This pub in Tameside is celebrating Christmas in May for everyone who missed out last year
Christmas has come early in Tameside
Stamford Arms / Facebook
A Stalybridge pub has been celebrating the festivities of Christmas in May.
Okay, this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the idea behind the premature celebrations makes a lot of sense.
As you will remember all too well, the Christmas cheer in 2020 was a little sparse – thanks to a third spike of COVID-19, families and friends were unable to meet in pubs or restaurants to celebrate the festive period, and new regulations announced just two days before the big day meant they could only see each other in homes, places of worship or outdoors.
Pubs in Greater Manchester were already closed before Christmas, with the region facing Tier 3 restrictions.
The region was then moved up to Tier 4 on December 30th, before a third national lockdown came into effect just 6 days later.
Pubs were finally able to reopen their doors last month, and most owners were quick to remove the dusty decorations from their last orders in December.
But the Stamford Arms had a different idea entirely.
The Tameside pub had asked its punters back in January if they should relive the festive season once it was finally able to reopen, and the answer was a resounding yes.
Rebecca Jones, who runs The Stamford Arms with her husband James, told the Manchester Evening News: "We were a little bit gutted when we found out we couldn't open at Christmas.
"I was getting a lot of messages from customers saying 'the pub looks lovely, we can't believe we can't come, we feel like we're missing out'."
Since the pub reopened its doors on May 17th, the Christmas tree and decorations have remained in place, and familiar Christmas classics have been playing over the speakers.
Guests have even been able to wear party hats and pull crackers as they tuck into full turkey dinners and Christmas puddings.
Rebecca said: "They [the customers] have loved the Christmas theme, they've come in with friends and family that they might not have seen.
"They've been able to come out and enjoy themselves, have a few drinks, and do what they would have done at Christmas.
"We've had a few comments from customers saying they feel more Christmassy now than they did at Christmas."
The pub's week of Christmas has been a roaring success, with the pub's diary full of bookings last weekend.
And if enough people want it, Rebecca hasn't ruled out making 'mid-year Christmas' a regular fixture on the calendar. To make your own booking, you can visit the Stamford Arms website here.

Footage of the incident shows a teenager been dragged along the floor
New footage has emerged showing the dramatic moment a mass brawl involving '100 school kids' broke out in the Piccadilly Gardens McDonald's.
At around 5pm on Friday evening (January 14th), a large group of teenagers descended upon the fast food restaurant and began fighting, causing crowds to gather and security and police to intervene.
Two of the teenagers had seemingly started fighting in the restaurant, which ultimately encouraged the crowd to gather and join in.
The shocking brawl was caught on camera, with the footage showing one person being dragged across the floor, while others screamed and fell among the crowds.
Police attended the scene and arrested a sixteen-year-old, who has since been released under investigation.
A dispersal order – giving police the power to disperse crowds and individuals from an area to prevent public nuisance – was put in place around Piccadilly Gardens until last night.
In a statement over the weekend, GMP said: "Police were called to Piccadilly Gardens at 5pm last night, Friday, to reports of a disturbance, involving a large number of young people.
"Officers attended, and found that a group of around 100 young people, mostly school children, were involved in fighting.
"During the incident, a number of missiles were thrown at officers, and some police equipment has been damaged beyond repair.
"A sixteen-year-old was arrested on suspicion of affray and has been released under investigation."
Supt Critchley added: "This kind of anti-social behaviour, which caused a huge amount of disruption for members of the public trying to get home on a Friday, as well as businesses, will not be tolerated.
"I acknowledge that a lot of those involved last night are young, and may have been easily swept up in what was happening, however due to the disruption caused, we will be working to identify all those involved using CCTV as well as officer's body worn video footage, and hold them accountable.
"It's worth noting that a number of those involved were wearing school uniform at the time.
"If you or anyone you know may have seen anything that could help with our enquiries, or have CCTV or dash-cam footage of the area at the time, please get in touch with police."
Anyone with information can contact GMP via their website or by calling 101, quoting log number 2054 of 14/01/22.

248 G. Eridani
248 G. Eridani Facts
248 G. Eridani's star type is giant star that can be located in the constellation of Eridanus. The description is based on the spectral class.
248 G. Eridani is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
Based on the spectral type (B7III) of the star, the star's colour is blue .
248 G. Eridani's Alternative Names
The Gould star designation is one that was designed by American astronomer, Benjamin Apthorp Gould. Gould stars are predominantly in the Southern and Equatorial constellations but do appear in northern constellations such as Bootes and Orion. The star has the designation 248 G. Eridani. There are no stars with a Gould designation in Ursa Major for example.
BD number is the number that the star was filed under in the Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung, a star catalogue that was put together by the Bonn Observatory between 1859 to 1903. The star's BD Number is BD-03 830.
Location of 248 G. Eridani
The location of the giant star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For 248 G. Eridani, the location is 04h 36m 01.67 and -03° 36` 41.8 .
Radial Velocity and Proper Motion of 248 G. Eridani
248 G. Eridani Luminosity
Physical Properties (Colour, Temperature) of 248 G. Eridani
248 G. Eridani Colour and Temperature
248 G. Eridani has a spectral type of B7III. This means the star is a blue giant star. The star has a B-V Colour Index of -0.1 which means the star's temperature has been calculated using information from Morgans @ Uni.edu at being 11,677 Kelvin.
248 G. Eridani Radius
248 G. Eridani Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes
248 G. Eridani has an apparent magnitude of 6.34 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. If you used the 1997 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -0.80 If you used the 2007 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -0.66. Magnitude, whether it be apparent/visual or absolute magnitude is measured by a number, the smaller the number, the brighter the Star is. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. A faint star will have a high number.
Distance to 248 G. Eridani
Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 3.73 which gave the calculated distance to 248 G. Eridani as 874.43 light years away from Earth or 268.10 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 874.43 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
In 2007, Hipparcos data was revised with a new parallax of 3.98 which put 248 G. Eridani at a distance of 819.51 light years or 251.26 parsecs. It should not be taken as though the star is moving closer or further away from us. It is purely that the distance was recalculated.
Additional 248 G. Eridani Facts and Figures
Primary / Proper / Traditional Name 248 G. Eridani
Alternative Names HD 29227, HIP 21428, BD-03 830

Today in Toronto: Elegant Beasts and Yo-Yo Ma
By Toronto Life | May 30, 2012
By Toronto Life | 05/30/2012
Elegant Beasts It might not occur to readers of Andrew Davidson's 2009 novel The Gargoyle that breakdancing is the best medium for bringing the story to the stage, but that's the counter-intuitive route the Larchaud Dance Project has taken. The tale features a wild, lusty sculptress and the grotesque beasts she creates with her fiery kiln, so the aggressive choreography is entirely appropriate. Find out more »
Yo – Yo Ma The name is practically synonymous with cello and has been since Ma's performance debut at the age of five. For this concert he's dipping into his past, performing the first piece he did with the TSO more than three decades ago: Elgar's Cello Concerto. The program looks forward, too, with a new work Ma commissioned from the Uzbek composer Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky. Peter Oundjian conducts. Find out more »

GOOD-BYE OLD SOURDOUGH
The Old Prospector is passing, and with him much of the Romance of the West, much also of real value
GUY MORTON December 1 1922
GOOD-BYE OLD SOURDOUGH GUY MORTON December 1 1922
GUY MORTON
EACH year, for more than a quarter of a century now, at that time in the fall when the snows crept down from the mountain tops into the valleys and flooded the whole world with white, "Next-Year" Macklin had come to this precise spot in the trail and looked down upon the city below him.
Behind him were the tangled hill-lands, with their myriad draws and valleys and ravines, and with their countless mountain slopes which would take every day of a thousand lifetimes to follow to their uttermost ends. Before him was the city, with the first thin film of snow upon it.
"Next-Year" placed a hand upon the flank of his cayuse with a gesture which was almost affection, and he spoke cheeringly.
"Buck up, you old Dog Ear," he bantered.
"All we gotta do is just stick it for a few more miles now; and then, you old worn-out pinto, if they wake you up to-night with the band playing, you'll know it's for me."
Macklin tramped on, with his form bent beneath the burden upon his shoulders, and from time to time he tried to ease the weight upon the back of the cayuse, as they followed the draw into the trail leading to that city cupped there in the lap of the encircling hills. On and on they tramped, and at length they came to the fringe of the city; the iron heels of "Next Year's" boots left a dull, ringing voice behind them as they struck the outlying pavements; a street-car clanged its way past; and as they drew closer and closer to the end of their journey, the shoulders of "Next-Year" Macklin grew straighter and straighter.
Twilight came, and the dusk began to creep about them; then from the thin sprinkling of people along the sidewalks, a voice reached out:
"Well, if that ain't Next-Year Mack, back from the hills. Did you make it this time, Mack, or is it still Next Year?"
Macklin, with the pressure of this moment pounding at his heart, stared back in silence. He stared until the other man laughed through the dusk, and until the bantering voice broke out
"It's tough luck, Mack. But I hear the hills were hard to work this yerr; too many fires, and the snow came early.... But, Mack, you sure will strike it next year.. . "
Macklin nodded sharply.
"I got it now!" he said, hoarsely. Then a moment later he nodded towards that curious burden upon the back of his cayuse. "Yes, Bill, I got it at last. There's no more next-year forme."
'T'HERE was something in the voice which caused Bill Rentier to step from the sidewalk and take Macklin's hand in a sudden grip. Then he turned about and began to trudge through the thin layer of snow at the side of the grizzled one.
"We had better take this side street; it's shorter," Rentier said, at length. "Now, what is if! More copper; or perhaps silver?"
"Next-Year" Macklin's voice was still hoarse when he spoke the one word, rent with its magic:
Silence for a moment, while their crunching feet cut through the snow.
"Gold?" Rentier repeated the word, quite calmly, as his glance took in the queer pack upon the back of the cayuse, and as it wandered in time to that lump upon Macklin's shoulder. Then he shook his head, somewhat sadly. "No, it can't be placer gold. Placer gold doesn't mean a small pack which nearly breaks a cayuse's back. No, Next-Year, that stuff in the bags must be ore; and that means you have struck ore gold instead of placer gold."
The hoarseness had been startled out of Macklin's voice as he exclaimed, in reply:
"Jumpin' Jerusalem! Isn't gold enough?
What does it matter whether it's ore gold or placer? It's gold, I tell you, Bill. Don't you understand that? Gold! The stuff I've been breaking my back for, for more than half my life. Gold, and I've got it at last, way up there in the hills. God, Bill!
There's a mountain of it. And, Bill, I'll let you in on it. You've played the game with me in the past. I never did have any head for business, but you've always give
me a lot of straight tips in the past; so I'll let you in on half my mountain of gold. Bill, you do all the business, and I'm guessin' there'll be enough gold for two..." Macklin's words poured out in a thin whisper of excitement, but something in the unresponsiveness of his companion seemed to dull his enthusiasm, to dim the fires of faith which had flamed up there among the hills. Then he went on, more calmly:
"....What's wrong, Bill? You don't seem to warm up. I'd kinda figured that mabbe the band would come out to-night when the town heard of my strike; but if it's that, if you're thinking we'd better keep it quiet, I don't mind—not so much."
AS YET, Bill Rentier's glance still roved over those strange packs. "Ore gold," he repeated, in his sorrowing way.
"Bill, you don't mean that the world don't want no more gold?" Macklin exclaimed, as something strange in Rentier's manner reached him. "You don't mean that something's happened while I was up in the hills, something so that gold ain't worth anything no more?"
"Yes," Rentier returned quietly. "Something has happened since you made your last find; though it isn't quite what you have said. Suppose you come down to my place for the night, and we'll talk it over."
So they talked it over in the Rentlër home, and while they talked, Macklin forgot all about the town band; and long before the evening was over the mercury of his high hopes had dribbled and sagged its way down through the tortuous stream of life, until in the end, "Next-Year" Macklin was looking out upon the world through gloomy eyes instead of through cheering ones.
Next day the city News carried a half column about the recent gold find of "Mr. Thomas Macklin, one of our oldest prospectors"; but it was more bitter than triumphant. A few clipped paragraphs will show the trend of the editorial mind, and will show, as well, just why the fires of hope were burning low in the brain of "Next-Year" Macklin.
".... There can be no doubt about the exceedingly high grade of the ore which Mr. Macklin brought to the city last night, for already it has undergone the inspection of the local analyst; and Mr. Macklin's integrity is too well established to permit anyone to doubt his statement that there is a whole mountain of ore of similar grade.
"Under the conditions which prevailed ten years ago, Mr. Macklin's friends would be carrying him about the city on their shoulders to-day, and his standing as a prosperous and successful citizen would have been established over night. Ten years ago, within a few hours of reaching the city with such ore in his possession, Mr. Macklin would doubtless have been the holder of a check for many thousands of dollars, and he could either have bonded his mine, or could have sold his claim outright. But now it seems that the Macklin Red Deer Mine is just one more undeveloped property added to the thousands of claims which have already been recorded around the city and all through the southern portion of British Columbia; and we presume that the prospect of the property being opened up and developed during the next quarter of a century will have to be added to the already long list of shattered hopes which have left the mining operations in this portion of Canada in a stagnant condition.
"Still, we understand that Mr. William Rentier is taking an active interest in the Macklin mine, and if that is the case, we can rest assured that some action will be secured, if such be possible."
Through the dull grey days of the thickening winter, "Next-Year" Macklin sat and watched the fires of hope grow duller and duller in his wondering brain, and wherever he went he was received less with an air of triumph than with one of commiseration.
"Hard lines," was the consolation of Dunk Revue, proprietor of the main hotel, which but a few years ago had seen the spilling of gold-dust upon its bars, and which had been the rendezvous of all the plungers and wild-catters and mining promoters for a score of miles about. Now the bar was forlorn, and only an occasional, mild-mannered tourist slipped through the doorway and sipped his ginger ale through a straw.
"Hard lines," repeated Dunk Revue, "ten years ago we would have given you a banquet. You could have had the best room in the hotel, as long as you wanted it, with everything charged against the time when you got your money. But how times have changed! If you're looking for a job to pull you through the winter. Continued on page 57
Good-bye, Old Sourdough
Continued from page 15
Mack, I can squeeze you in as extra bellboy, though we don't need one at this time of the year. It's for old time's sake, you know."
"Next Year" Macklin, with the vision of the old years, and of that gold-find up in the mountains still fresh in his brain, nodded sadly. . , .
"I'll take it, Dunk," he said. Things aren't what I expected to find them. Bui Rentier said he'd carry me through the winter, but I don't want him to have to do that. He isn't getting any money out of the mine; I've seen the letters which come through, and there hasn t been any body so much as nibbled at it yet. Yes, Dunk, I'll carry the ice-water all winter,
for my meals and a grub-stake next spring."
So hopeful Macklin, with a mountain of gold recorded in his name, steadied himself for the job of jumping to his feet every time some flitting traveller pressed the button for another glass of ice-water; and while he tried to get, a grip upon this new shocking phase of life, Bill Rentier was struggling to interest some financial man in the Mountain of Gold.
But when spring came, a new grubstake was not his sole financial need. A sum¡ ming up of the situation with Bill Rentier disclosed that fact.
"Things are not what they were a few years ago," Rentier was forced to admit.
"You remember the time, Mack, when all a fellow like you bad to do was to come into town with a few good samples of ore and they didn't have to be gold either— and there was always somebody ready to slip you a thousand or two."
"Next Year" jerked his head restlessly, and one eye seemed to be turned constantly upon the slumbering mountains.
"Don't I know it!" he exclaimed, "I've got six mines tied up that way; bonded, they call it. I got my first stake on them, but the Lord only knows when I'll get anything more. Six mines, and there isn't one of them being worked. I'm sort of thinking that, the fellows I bonded them to, have bonded them to somebody else, and they're just sitting down like I am, waiting for that somebody else to work them. Don't look to me like I'd live long enough to get anything out of those mines. But what am I going to do with that pile of gold up at the Red Deer, Bill?"
FROM the way Bill Rentier toyed with his ear, it was obvious that the problem had occasioned him considerable thought.
"There are two things you can do," he concluded. "You can bond it like you bonded your copper and silver mines, though I haven't found anybody to advance any money yet. It's harder to get money out of anybody on a bonded gold mine to-day than it was on lead ten years ago.. . Or if you don't do that, you can go in and prove the mine."
"Next-Year" Macklin knew all too well the significance of that; but in spite of the toil and the seeming impossibility of it, his eyes kept straying to those points where the snow had already melted from the mountain tops.
"It costs a bunch of money to prove a gold mine," Rentier went on. "But you see this letter from the Oberley Corporation of New York. They're sending an engineer in here next spring, to look over all the proved mines; and then they're going to pick out one to work. Per-
Macklin reflected solemnly.
"I wouldn't bond the Red Deer to anybody, unless I got enough out of it to keep me the rest of my days, which I can't do; so I'm stuck there. And I can't prove the mine, because I haven't got the money to do it. I'm in an awful fix, Bill." Through the years which he had watched the hopeful operations of "Next-Year" Macklin, Bill Rentier had come to understand, something of the lure which had taken the older man year after year along that trail which melted into the mountains. He knew much of the life the man had led; and now that a slight stoop was creeping into Macklin's big frame, he could see a little of the tragedy which lay there just back of the sombre eyes.
"I don't suppose you've managed to save any money?" Rentier asked, knowing the hopelessness of that even before he asked.
For Macklin, typical sourdough that he was, had tramped the mountains since his mere boyhood, and since the bonding of those half dozen mines which had brought him an odd thousand or so each, nothing of importance had ever come into the man's life. Somehow or other he had struggled along, year after year, prospecting the wild sweeps of the mountains through the summers, picking up odd jobs here and there through the winter; and each spring he had gone out grubstaked by some citizen or other who had been willing to bet the price of Macklin's summer outfit that "Next-Year" would come back with the sobriquet swept from him forever.
AS HE looked into Macklin's wrinkled face, Rentier knew the folly of his own question. For the man's whole life had been passed in spending every last dollar which came to his fingers, to meet the barest needs of a summer in the mountains. And the winters? In some haphazard manner they had cared for themselves.
"You would need a couple of thousand this summer alone, perhaps more," Rentier spoke slowly. "I will let you have it, Mack."
Macklin's bony fingers closed about the other's hand in wordless thanks; and so they parted.
"Next-Year" Macklin spent the summer at he'idragging task of proving the Red Deer mine. He chiseled and tunneled and bored, to the limit of one man's endurance; then he sent for a helper; and in the
¥all. when Rentier's two thousand dollars had gone into the rock, as so many hundreds of other thousands have gone through the passing of a few years, he returned to that city cupped there in the hollow of the hills.
Dunk Revue took him on again, to help meet the whimsical needs of careless travelers, and even while the old prospector carried baggage and ice-water to the rooms of the transients, he was counting the days until the time when that engineer from the Oberley Corporation would visit the district to look over all the proved and half-proved mines splayed out among the hills, and then, perhaps, to choose one of them. There were a score or more of such mines, which had gnawed their way into the rocky breast of the mountains; and when "Next-Year" Macklin came to a grey day and looked solemnly out across the whitened hills, he knew quite well that there were mines which had been proved much deeper than his.
Then in time came the engineer, and the feverish summer's wait, and the sinking of another thousand of Rentier's money into the rock in the frantic hope of cutting deeper and laying bare more of the vein of gold than might be lying bare in some other mine.
The engineer was brisk, youthful, commercialized. He had a score of mines to examine in this district, a score more somewhere else. He had a reputation to make for himself, not in the finding of gold or in the proving of mines, but in working out cold, mathematical facts and demonstrating to the directors of the Oberley concern that a definite mine somewhere could be operated more economically than could all others.
He was so brisk that he quite overlooked the stoop in Macklin's frame; he was so young that he caught nothing of the story of the past which lay slumbering back of the man's roving eyes.
"/^OOD mine here, Macklin," he proVJ nounced in the end. "You're an old timer, I see; but you know how to sink a shaft just the same. Not half deep enough, of course. The vein may sink on you, or die, or anything else, a half dozen yards farther on. But you've got a prospect, Macklin. Just keep at it . . . Oh, I would say that if you spend another ten or fifteen thousand on it, you might show up something big enough for us to look at. Lots of ore; yes. Looks like it; and would grade high stuff. But there is just a chance that it might die on us, you know; and there is so much stuff we are certain of that we haven't time these days to take a chance."
"You might come in and test it out yourselves," Macklin began; but the other laughed breezily.
"Haven't time for that sort of thing these days. We leave that work to you. Sorry, old chap. But keep plugging; perhaps we'll be wanting another mine in a few years from now. We're taking the White Eagle up the line a ways, but it may fool us. Can't tell."
So "Next Year" Macklin went back to the bell-hopping job in Dunk Revue's establishment, and each spring, for three years in succession, Bill Rentier advanced another thousand or fraction of it, for the deepening of the shaft in the Red Deer Mine. Things still had a bright side; for there was the White Eagle which the Oberley people had turned into a successful mine.
Then came the slump. Even the White Eagle closed down.
"I'm thinking, Mack, that we're through," Rentier faced the situation. "We've put five thousand in the Red Deer. We know the gold ore is there, in paying streaks; but we're only one pair of fifty in this city alone, and goodness only knows how many hundreds there must be if you take in the whole of British Columbia. No, Mack, we're too small; the day of the small miner is gone. If you haven't enough money to prove a mine, open up the seams and lay them bare for the big investor to come along and look at, you might just as well stay off the job."
"How do they think an old sourdough like me is ever going to do that?" Macklin demanded impatiently, as he thought of his mountain of gold.
Since Rentier had no answer, "NextYear" went back once more to the pursuit of the ice-pitcher and the club-bag, and L-st summer he was still there. In the spring, there were some evidences of conditions improving; and Bill Rentier,
though he has been sadly in need of that five thousand in the past few years, was scurrying about trying to raise an extra thousand or two to sink that shaft a bit deeper in the Red Deer Mine. A small gang came in and began tinkering about the White Eagle, as though the machinery were to be put in order for another
BUT no matter what happens, it wil be too late for "Next-Year" Macklin. His shoulders are badly bent now; he spends long hours staring out across the trail which leads to the mystery of the mountains far beyond; and he has taken at times to kicking stray club-bags the moment their owners are out of sight. Dunk Revue caught him at it once last summer, but for the life of him, the man could not help but think of that mountain of gold lying off there undeveloped, and with its owner subjected to all the passing whims of stray travelers.
"I wouldn't do that, Mack," Dunk said, as he put a hand on the old man's shoulder. "You know, that every grip might be owned by another engineer sent in here to open up a mine somewhere." "Next-Year" Macklin paused in his labor of hate, considered the point, then nodded slowly.
"You're right, Dunk,'' he said, "but what good will it ever do me?"
He is quiet and subdued now; he gives no trouble; but occasionally, when a lone traveler seems to be idling about the corridor of the hotel, he sidles up to him, and, if the man is sympathetic, there is told once more the queer story of the mountain of gold, which is waiting up there in the rolling hills for the man with the courage to make of it a key to the treasure vaults of the world.
ALL stories, we are told, should have a cheerful ending. That is all very well for fiction; but fact stories have a habit of ending the way the world decrees. It would have been nice to see "NextYear" Macklin get some reward for his labors; but the thing could not be done. Besides, he is only one of scores, perhaps hundreds, of his kind who dot the province once famed as the land of the sourdough. And for the most part, they appear to be "Next-Year" Macklins. They are weary of the fruitless labor; they are dying out; and in the place of the old picturesque sourdough there is rising up a new generation who know him not.
Getting down to cold statements, it means that the sourdough is passing; the old prospector will soon be a thing of the past because of the conditions which caught Macklin in their grip. Macklin is not a person of fiction; he is a real living being, though bent now beneath the burdens of the world and the years. The time seems to have arrived when there is no longer any reward, even a flitting one, for the old style of prospectors who did so much for the locating of mines in the early days; and as a result, the younger generation, seeing and understanding these facts, are refusing for the most part to go in for the life of a prospector. It was a gambler's chance anyway. If he struck it in the old days, somebody would come along free-handed and pass over a few thousand dollars. But now, if he strikes it, he gets nowhere. They tell him to develop the mine, and he has not the means to do it. So he is drawing near the end of his vision of hope.
BUT the prospectors are doing what they can to fight the situation. They organized some years ago.
"We do feel that we are being cast aside," said J. W. Mulholland, President for the past four years of the British Columbia 'rospectors' Protective Association; "Where our numbers used to be in the thousands, they are now in the hundreds. Why? Because we are being driven out by conditions."
That seems reasonable; for how can any prospector spend all his funds to keep himself in the hills, and still have the necessary thousands left to develop his mine after he has found it?
The answer? The prospectors have it; and they are going to put it up to the Canadian Government. For, they say, unless the Government steps in and helps, first thing they know there will be no prospectors, and there will be no new mines to be opened up. So, with the passing of the sourdough, it looks as though the Government would in time be faced with the problem of doing its own
■ prospecting, or of giving some financial assistance to those who have located suitable claims, but who lack the means I to put them on the market.
"Let the prospector go in on salary, for I the Government?" you ask; and the hands go up in horror at the thought.
"Nothing like that," they protest. "The work of the prospector is the work of the love of the wilds, and the lure of wealth Which comes first? Come to think of it, I guess it's the lure, and not the wealth, i You could never get the right kind of a man to go into the mountains on salary and prospect. He might loaf and eat up supplies. But prospect? Ah, that takes the man who loves the hills."
Then what is the answer?
Let the Government chip in and open up the genuine claims once the sourdough has found them; let the Government be the intermediary between the financelesa prospector and the big mining corporations which, in these days of fevered life, brush all things aside unless the mineral is lying there before the naked eye; let the Government encourage, but not pauper-
But perhaps, after all, Ottawa might have something to say about that.

BBC programme to give insight into life of 'heart hero' Dáithí Mac Gábhann
Viewers will be given an insight into the lives of his parents as well as key moments including little Dáithí's first day at school
Orlaith Clinton
A new BBC documentary airing on Monday will give an insight into the life of Dáithí Mac Gabhann - West Belfast's 'heart hero'.
The Ballymurphy tot is currently on the routine waiting list for a heart transplant after being born with a very rare condition known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome .
Croí Briste, meaning Broken Heart in Irish, is a new 30-minute observational documentary which highlights the issue of organ donation through the story of the three-year-old Belfast boy.
Dáithí is among the 200 children born every year in Northern Ireland with a heart condition and is also among the children who require a donor heart in order to survive.
Every year around 15 people die in Northern Ireland while waiting for an organ transplant. Dáithí's parents Máirtín Mac Gabhann and Seph Ní Mhealláin are among those raising awareness of the need for more people to sign up to the NHS organ donation register through their Donate 4 Dáithí campaign.
The mini-doc follows the family for 18 months, from the beginning of their campaign until Dáithí's first day at school in October 2019, a day his parents had wished for when he was born.
Viewers are given an insight into the lives of parents of a sick child, never knowing what each day will bring and always waiting for the phone call that could save their child's life.

Speaking to Belfast Live after the filming, Máirtín said they were delighted with the documentary after being in two minds whether to go ahead with it.
He said: "When Gráinne at the BBC approached us to do the programme we weren't entirely sure but decided that it was in our best interests and Dáithí's because we want the programme to spread as much awareness as possible for NHS Organ Donation, and hope that more people will join the register and have the chat.
"We've seen the programme and are really happy with the job that Gráinne and Michael have done. It's only a 30 minute documentary and it flew through while watching it but it shows the journey in a light that hasn't been shown before.
"It's full of up, downs and even arounds, but we really hope that it makes an impact and that people will consider joining the register and supporting organ donation.

"The facts and figures are very important, but when you see a child like Dáithí fighting for his life at stages, and then knowing that his only chance at this time is the gift of a new heart. When you see his wee personality and development throughout, we hope it makes a bigger impact than just sharing facts and figures."
Croí Briste was made for BBC Gaeilge by Clean Slate Productions with support from NI Screen's Irish Language Broadcast Fund, and will be broadcast on BBC Two NI on Monday January 13 at 10pm.

Joy Reid calls out SCOTUS for vaccine mandate ruling
MSNBC host Joy Reid criticized the six conservative Supreme Court justices who voted against President Joe Biden's federal mandate issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in November, requiring that businesses with 100 or more employees employ staffs vaccinated against COVID-19 or have weekly tests.
OSHA's mandate in November would have made exceptions for workers with religious objections and/or those who don't make close contact with other people as part of their jobs. A federal lawsuit, National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor, quickly made its way up to the highest court in the land.

(Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images)
Reid was discussing Thursday's decision with Democratic California Rep. Raul Ruiz and attorney/MSNBC contributor Neal Katyal, former principal deputy solicitor general of the United States, on her weekday show, The ReidOut.
"The administration had made an estimate that, it would, that the mandate would result in 22 million people getting vaccinated and prevent 250,000 hospitalizations," Reid told him, per Mediaite. "The usual six voted the way we would expect them to vote, the six right-wingers. At this point, Neal, have they not just simply stated, by their actions, that they are more in favor of right-wing politics, the kind of DeSantis-style right-wing politics than they are in favor of saving lives? They don't care if that causes less people to die, clearly."
Those who voted against the mandate were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas.
Katyal called it "a really dark day for the court and for the country," noting that he, earlier Thursday, had unsucessfully argued a case before the high court concerning veterans' benefits.
Reid told Katyal "it is hard to think of them as anything other than right-wing ideologues."
"They should all have right-wing talk radio shows," she added. "They are not justices in the great tradition of Supreme Court justices. They're just politicians. As far as I'm concerned, I see nothing what they're doing that I can possibly respect. It's sad what's happening to this country."
Reid had railed against the Supreme Court on Twitter, writing, "So to review: in Right Wing America, per their SCOTUS and various elected officials, you cannot:
But you CAN:
-Amass a personal arsenal
-Freely spread a virus, even to the vulnerable
-Ignore congressional subpoenas (if you're a Republican), and
-Try to violently overturn an election
Am I missing anything?
— Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy) Reid 😷 (@JoyAnnReid) January 13, 2022
-Protect workers, students or any kids at all from COVID
-Teach history that's not a hagiography of slaveowners,
-Read Toni Morrison at school, or
-Vote, unless Republicans say so."
She added, in an other tweet, "But you CAN:
According to CNN, while the Supreme Court blocked the vaccine mandate for major businesses, it did allow one for certain health-care workers to go into effect. It would include health-care workers at hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs.

The portrait may look more realistic if the smooth skin-effect is removed from the eyes, mouth, and perhaps, the tip of the nose. Compare the eyes below. If you want to apply the effect to just part of the photograph, go to Masking a Layer .
The skin retouching is recommended if pimples, spots and light reflections let the skin looks restless and unclean. The effect of the retouching is silky-smooth skin that will look even more natural. The effect of the retouching is silky-smooth skin that will look even more natural.
Sometimes after I bring my photo in Photoshop, though, the skin still doesn't look 'creamy' or warm enough, so I usually warm up the photo with levels or curves. But sometimes by the time I get the skin warmed up to where I want it, the rest of the image is too warm. Even if I painted in the 'warmth,' things like eyebrows and shadows on the face can have too much of an orange tint.

IAPA announces that Ecuador has "the worst 'gag law' of America"
The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) said that after two years into force of the Communication Act of Ecuador, this "is the worst 'gag law' of America." And called upon the international community and the Assembly of the OAS to advise "the flagrant outrage of the government of Rafael Correa against the public's right to be informed, against the free work of journalists and independent media."
The IAPA cited that from 270 processes between 2013 and February this year, 231 were against private media and 142 of them were due to complaints from authorities and officials.

South LA woman indicted on sex trafficking charges
by City News Service March 15, 2018 October 26, 2021
The U.S. Attorney's office announced this week the indictment of a South Los Angeles woman–who describes herself on social media as "The Most Hated Hoe in LA''–on federal sex trafficking charges that include allegations that she used the internet to solicit two underage girls to engage in prostitution, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
Melanie Denae Williams, who uses the moniker "Pretty Hoe'' on several social media platforms, was named in a five-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles. The indictment specifically alleges one count of sex trafficking an adult by force, fraud, or coercion; two counts of sex trafficking of a minor; and two counts of enticement of a minor to engage in prostitution.
Williams, 22, has been held without bond in a federal lockup since she was taken into custody on Feb. 7 pursuant to a criminal complaint that followed her initial Christmas Eve arrest by local authorities, according to federal prosecutors.
The affidavit in support of the complaint outlines Williams' alleged abuse of a woman she had recruited via social media to work as a prostitute. Williams allegedly ordered the unnamed victim to strip off her clothes, and then threw bleach on the woman and beat her with her hands and a broomstick, according to the affidavit.
Williams is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow in federal court in downtown Los Angeles.
If convicted of any of the charges in the indictment, Williams would face a potential life sentence. Each of the five charges carries a mandatory minimum sentence. The charge of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion carries a mandatory penalty of 15 years, and each of the four counts related to minors carries a mandatory minimum of 10 years behind bars, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
