FROM McLAREN TO A COP CAR SPECIAL - LEYBURN SPRINTS RAFFLES ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME TRACK RIDES

LEYBURN (Queensland) - Can you imagine riding in a McLaren or Lotus sports car, an Audi quattro rally beast, an 820 horsepower Falcon GT or even an ex-police pursuit drag racer? Some lucky spectators are in for the experience of a lifetime as winners of an amazing competition at the Historic Leyburn Sprints next month.
Raffles to win passenger "hot laps" in these rare and exotic cars on the Leyburn 1.0-kilometre street course will be held throughout the 18-19 August Sprints weekend.
Sprints President Tricia Chant says the event's traditional ride raffle has been upgraded into a major spectator attraction this year.
"For the price of a $5 ticket, we're offering Sprints spectators the unique chance to ride in some truly incredible cars. I can't think of another event in the country that offers an experience like this and I'd like to thank the drivers for making their cars available,"Mrs Chant said.

SABAKAT-LOTUS REVIVES A RACY HISTORY WITH LEYBURN DEBUT

LEYBURN (Queensland) - It was disguised under the name Sabakat and around 60 years ago had a decidedly racy history, but now one of the first Lotus competition cars is returning home to the Darling Downs for its debut in the Historic Leyburn Sprints next month.
The appearance of the 1957 single-seater among more than 200 historic, classic and performance cars entered for the 23rd annual Sprints on 18-19 August will revive stories of its alleged smuggling into Australia, grand prix history, a spectacularly fiery demise and eventual re-creation.
The Sabakat, to be driven by owner Mike Gosbell, is a Lotus 12, the model that launched the British manufacturer's first foray into Formula 1 and Formula 2 racing in 1957.
NEW TROPHY BOOSTS LEYBURN'S YOUNGEST DRIVERS

LEYBURN (Queensland) - The Historic Leyburn Sprints, one of Australia's favourite classic motorsport events, will use its heritage to help boost the careers of the youngest racing drivers at this year's 23rd event in August.
From this year, the Sprints will award the perpetual Ann Collins Memorial Trophy for the fastest driver aged 16 and under on the 1.0 kilometre street course.
The award will honour the former President of the Sprints organising committee Ann Collins, who passed away earlier this year leaving a legacy of strong commitment to the community-run event and to the futures of young people.
"Ann was the inaugural President of the Sprints organising committee and a tireless worker in the small community of Leyburn. Coming from a racing family, she particularly had an interest in encouraging young drivers to enter motorsport as a healthy, positive activity with strong family values and a pro-active approach to everyday road safety,"current President Tricia Chant said.
"She would be thrilled to know the Ann Collins Memorial Trophy has been created to promote the values she believed in."

LEYBURN (Queensland) - Queensland's Motor Sport Event of the Year, the Historic Leyburn Sprints, has been given increased funding to boost regional tourism under the Tourism and Events Queensland's (TEQ) Queensland Destination Events Program (QDEP).
The $25,000 funding, up from $20,000 last year, continues TEQ's long-standing support of the popular, round-the-houses time trials, which will be staged for the 23rd time this year on 18-19 August.
The money will be used for marketing and promotion aimed at attracting more spectators to the event and the Southern Queensland Country host region.

LEYBURN (Queensland) - The annual Historic Leyburn Sprints, which celebrates the 1949 Australian Grand Prix, has been named the Queensland Motor Sport Event of the Year.
The win was announced at the CAMS State Motor Sport Awards in Brisbane on Friday night.
The community-run Sprints attracts more than 200 historic, classic and late-model performance cars and up to 15,000 spectators every year to compete on a closed street course in the tiny Darling Downs town.
Since its founding in 1996, the community-organised event has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local groups and projects.

DGAP-Adhoc: PNE AG: PNE plans to expand its own operations to up to 500 MW by the end of 2023
DGAP-Ad-hoc: PNE AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous
PNE AG: PNE plans to expand its own operations to up to 500 MW by the end of 2023
Publication of an insider information according to Art. 17 EU-Market-Abuse-Regulation (MAR)
Cuxhaven, March 18, 2020. The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of PNE AG due to changed framework conditions and favourable financing options have decided to strengthen PNE AG"s in-house operation of wind farms and to no longer pursue current selling efforts with regard to the PNE AG wind farm portfolio, such as the proposed "wind farm portfolio 2020". It is planned to expand in-house operation of wind farms to up to 500 MW by the end of 2023. However, PNE will continue the marketing of individual wind farm projects. With such a strengthening of in-house operations, sales and earnings are likely to be stable and the volatility of results will be reduced before the strategically targeted point in time from 2023.
The results of the 2019 financial year and the liquidity level of around euro 112 million in the Group at the end of 2019 contributed to the decision by the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board of PNE AG. In 2019, PNE Group achieved EBITDA of approx. euro 31.6 million and EBIT of approx. euro 19.0 million. The guidance for Group EBITDA of euro 25 to 30 million and the guidance for the Group EBIT of euro 15 to 20 million in the 2019 fiscal year were both achieved and slightly exceeded as regards EBITDA.

Georg Holzer (* 9. März 1957 in Wien) ist ein österreichischer Slawist und Indogermanist.

Leben
Nach der Matura 1975 studierte Holzer an der Universität Wien Slawistik und Indogermanistik, u. a. bei Radoslav Katičić und Manfred Mayrhofer, und wurde dort 1982 promoviert. Von 1980 bis 1983 war er als Lektor für deutsche Sprache an der Universität Zagreb, anschließend als Assistent am Institut für Slawistik der Universität Wien tätig. 1990 habilitierte er sich mit der Arbeit Entlehnungen aus einer bisher unbekannten indogermanischen Sprache im Urslawischen und Urbaltischen. Seit 1990 ist er außerordentlicher Professor für Slawistik an der Universität Wien und lehrt an kroatischen Universitäten.

1995 trat Holzer mit einer neuen Theorie über den Entwicklungsstand der protoslawischen Sprache um 600 n. Chr. hervor. Die weitreichenden Aussagen auf vergleichsweise schmaler empirischer Basis haben nach anfänglicher Skepsis innerhalb der Slawistik weithin Anerkennung gefunden.

Holzer absolvierte Forschungsaufenthalte in Zagreb (1996 und 2000), Breslau (1999), Ljubljana (2002) und Krakau (2003).

Er ist Autor des 2002 erschienenen Artikels Urslawisch im Lexikon der Sprachen des europäischen Ostens, das Teil der seit 2000 im Auftrag des österreichischen Wissenschaftsministeriums online publizierten Enzyklopädie des europäischen Ostens (EEO) ist.

Holzer gibt die Buchreihe Schriften über Sprachen und Texte heraus, in der bisher (Stand 2021) 13 Bände erschienen sind. Er ist zugleich Autor des ersten Bandes dieser Reihe (Das Erschließen unbelegter Sprachen, Wien 1996).

Zudem leitete Holzer ab 1. Januar 2001 das Forschungsprojekt Die Sprache des mittelalterlichen Slawentums in Österreich der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin Angela Bergermayer). Im Zuge dieses Projektes wurde ein Glossar der mittelalterlichen slawischen Wörter erstellt, die sich im namenkundlichen Material Österreichs belegen lassen. Nach jedem Eintrag wurden die urkundlichen Nennungen des (eingedeutschten) slawischen Wortes, der heutige Ortsname und dessen Lokalisierung angeführt.

Mitgliedschaften
Von 1996 bis zu ihrer Auflösung 2011 war Holzer Mitglied der Balkan-Kommission der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Seit 2008 ist er korrespondierendes Mitglied der Kroatischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und Künste (HAZU). 2016 wählte ihn die neu gegründete Österreichische Gesellschaft für Kroatistik zu ihrem ersten Vorsitzenden.

Album Review: End Boss — "They Seek My Head"
April 7, 2022 April 6, 2022 Chris
This is why metal can be so exciting. This is why, at their best (which admittedly can be rare) metal fans are a breed apart, never content to stick to the mainstream path, always finding the hidden corners and crevices where great music is being created. I don't know if you normally think of New Zealand as a hotbed of metal activity, particularly for sludge and doom, but one listen to They Seek My Head, the debut from Wellington band End Boss has me thinking there's something in the water and we should all be paying attention.
Crafted over a period of months during New Zealand's lockdown, They Seek My Head feels like a statement of intent – there's zero ambiguity as to what the band wants to accomplish. And that is to rock hard, taking a cross section of hard stoner rock and injecting a sludgy doom rhythm behind some serious vocals courtesy of lead singer E.J. Thorpe. She has a classic, deep (not low) tone that reminds me of the excitement I had the first time I heard a band like King Witch, where the music punishes as the volcano melody carries the emotion to new heights. Thorpe deftly maneuvers her voice between some nasty riffage from guitarists Greg Broadmore and Christian Pierce. Take a song like the blistering "Nail and Tooth" where the tempo is elevated and the chugging is fierce. Rather than match that cadence Thorpe slows it down, riding the wave with a sonorous croon that has your head matching her pace instead of everyone else.
But if you're going to start somewhere with They Seek My Head, it might as well be at the beginning. Everything you need to know about End Boss are on the first two tracks. "Heart of the Sickle" is a whopper of an introduction, starting off with bare guitar before moving into a pulverizing riff made more thunderous with Nathan Hickey of Beastwars behind the kit. When the chorus comes in Thorpe layers waves of background vocals that envelop her leads and give this thick, syrupy feel that transitions into a snarling, nasty section. The sludge is here, and it is thick.
On the other side of the coin is "Punished" which is trimmed of all the fat, leveling the landscape in a brisk three minutes and fifty seconds. It's the moment where the guitars threaten to overtake Thorpe's voice, and then it rises again in intensity. The song moves mountains, and drips with the weight of the punishment we put as much on ourselves as we do on others.
There is a weight, a staying power with all the songs on They Seek My Head, an inexorable draw from beginning to end during its 33 minutes. In that time I found myself vigorously moving along to every verse, nodding to every chorus, and generally moved by how assured a debut End Boss have put out. I can't wait to see this thing get some legs, for the band to grow into a mammoth of metal, and to see what else is brewing on the other side of the world.
They Seek My Head will be available April 8 on Rough Peel Records. For more information on End Boss, check out their Facebook and Instagram pages.

Q: JQuery form validation conflict I am using the Jquery form validation library:
jquery-validate.js
When the user submits the form I slide down a div which has a check box which has to be chekced in order to proceed:
if(!$('#agreeConfirm').is(':checked')){

     alert('Please tick to agree to our terms and conditions');
     $('.termsAgree').slideDown();
     return true;

}

This works in so much as the form is not submitted and the alert displays along with the slideDown which presents the check box. However if one of the select options has not be selected by the user the form submits (although the message 'This field is required' does appear. If I comment out my lines above the correct behavior is observed.
My validation code structure is as follows:
$("form#register").validate({

 rules:{

       name:{
           required: true,
           number: false
       },

       .....

       add1:{
       required: true
       }

 }

});

$('form#register').submit(function(){

     ...

     if(!$('#agreeConfirm').is(':checked')){

         alert('Please tick to agree to our terms and conditions');
         $('.termsAgree').slideDown();
         return false;

     }

}

Thanks in advance.

A: You can add a rule for the checkbox in the form validate method for the field. Look this.

A: You should not be using a whole separate submit handler function when using the jQuery Validate plugin.  It's redundant and the cause of your conflict.  The plugin is already automatically "handling" the submit event...
The plugin has a submitHandler callback function that you would use for anything that needs to be done when a valid form is submitted.
Something more like this...
$("form#register").validate({
     rules:{
        name:{
            required: true,
            number: false
        },

       .....

        add1:{
            required: true
        }
    },
    submitHandler: function(form) {
        // something to do when the form is valid
        if(!$('#agreeConfirm').is(':checked')){
            alert('Please tick to agree to our terms and conditions');
            $('.termsAgree').slideDown();
            form.submit();
        };
        return false;
    },
    invalidHandler: function(event, validator) {
        // something to do when validation fails
    }
});

SERVPRO was amazing. I called and left a message one morning and Aaron immediately called me back and asked how he could help. He stayed in touch providing 1st knowledge and then assistance. He was patient through the process, showed up at an insurance adjuster appointment when I told him about it last minute. Worked with us, kept us updated, did what he said he was going to do. In life, you know when you have stumbled upon something good. SERVPRO of Northeast Ft. Worth is not good, they were great! Highly recommend.
So very happy with the great service that they provided!
1) they asked me before spraying their citrus spray if we had any sensitivities to smell. When I asked if they would mind using my Thieves household cleaner instead, they didn't hesitate to say yes!
2) they sweetly listened to my 4 year old talk their ear off as they worked, & even watched her tumble on the bounce house before they left for a few minutes (& and acted as if they enjoyed it).
They were super easy and a joy to work with!
SERVPRO was there to help my husband and I move out all of our furniture and clean up after a very large remodeling job. Great service, very professional.
So appreciated the quick, excellent service from SERVPRO Northeast Fort Worth, I had a huge coffee stain in my carpet that is gone! The carpet looks brand new! Thanks guys!
The guys at SERVPRO did an awesome job of cleaning our office's carpets. We had spilled coffee and they were able to quickly clean it up and make our carpets look new again.

Q: How do I access an MS Access database from Oracle? Configured access from Oracle to MS Access.
Oracle XE 11.2.0.2.
Microsoft Access 2010
There are two INSERTS (insert into table that is residing in MS ACCESS db) operations. One of them is using pl\sql variables, another one is not.
First insert:
insert into SomeTable@MSADB("ID", "Name")
  values(l_ID, l_Name);

Second one:
insert into SomeTable@MSADB("ID", "Name")
  values(123, 'SomeName');

In a case of second insert, all is fine. But first one gives an error "HYC00 NativeError=106 optional feature not implemented". I just can't understand why this is happening and how to solve this problem.
Bind variables(execute immediate) didn't solve this problem. DBMS_HS_PASSTHROUGH.BIND_VARIABLE didn't solve this problem either.
Only solution I see is embedding those variables into a string and then execute it.
Are there another solutions to force the first insert to work?
Thank you.

A: There was a known issue in the Oracle 11g client with the ODBC driver connecting to excel workbooks and it was giving the same error.  Oracle released Patch 7009291 to address that issue so you might take a look at that patch to see if it will address the access issue as well.
You can also enable DG4ODBC tracing to see what is going on and identify if this is a similar issue to the excel one.  Tracing is enabled by setting in your init.ora file HS_FDS_TRACE_LEBVEL=255 The trace file is then found in your \hs\trace

In general, we pay monthly benefits to people who are unable to work for a year or more, or who have a condition expected to end in death. The disability must be so severe the worker cannot work, considering age, education and experience.
If you think you may be eligible to receive disability benefits and would like to apply , you can use our online application.
What types of income does the SSA consider?
Earned Income is wages, net earnings from self–employment, certain royalties, honoraria, and sheltered workshop payments.
Unearned Income is all income that is not earned, such as Social Security benefits, pensions, State disability payments, unemployment benefits, interest income, and cash from friends and relatives.
In–Kind Income is food or shelter that you get for free or less than its fair market value.
Deemed Income is the part of the income of your spouse with whom you live, your parent(s) with whom you live, or your sponsor (if you are an alien), which we use to compute your SSI benefit amount.
So are some things not considered income. Yes!
certain exclusions on Indian trust fund payments paid to American Indians who are members of a federally recognized tribe.
Ok so wait, what if I have things that aren't considered income, and aren't resources… How do I know that the SSA is accounting for these things in my favor? The SSA accounts for the income, and those things that are not considered income by creating a bottom line chart, called "Countable Income." Countable income is the amount left over after eliminating from consideration all items that are not income; and then applying all appropriate exclusions to the items that are income. Countable income is determined on a calendar month basis. It is the amount actually subtracted from the maximum Federal benefit to determine your eligibility, and to compute your monthly payment amount. There are a bunch of income exclusions that exist. One of the most popular ones is the student earned income exclusion. The student earned income exclusion has maximum amounts which increase with the cost of living as measured by the COLA (cost of living adjustment). This exclusion applies to a blind or disabled child who is a student regularly attending school, college, university, or a course of vocational or technical training.
Ok cool, so then what are not considered resources, or rather, not counted as a resource?
EXCEPTION: Cash reimbursements of expenses already paid for by the person are evaluated under the regular income and resources rules.
Some trusts (See the SSI Spotlight on Trusts).
So, they add up your income and resources, and if they are too much for the statute, then you are financially ineligible for the SSI program. The next elements to meet are the 5 step sequential elements. I will summarize those after we complete what the eligibility requirements are for SSDI.
Social security disability insurance benefits, or SSDI, are all about people who work over the table, pay taxes, and have worked recently enough to still be insured when they become severely disabled. Ok so first thing, the earned quarters of coverage layout, then the, were they disabled while still insured analysis. First, know what a quarter of coverage (QC) is, being a Title II Federal coin. Like a quarter to a gumball machine that bestows a benefit upon you. Candy.
So, as you work, you earn quarters of coverage, which become more expensive as time goes on…so for example, in 2017, a quarter of coverage is worth $1,300 of earned income that you pay taxes on. So, if you shovel, mop, answer phones, take temperatures, whatever, and pay taxes on it, every $1,300 that you earn equates to 1 quarter of coverage. You can earn up to 4 per year. So, 4 QCs at $1,300 each equates to: $5,200 of earned and paid taxes on income. Now, as you get older, you need more quarters of coverage. A cute, yet limited chart will show you how many QCs you need as you age.
So, yes, if you are younger than thirty, they have a special 10 QC rule and such, but what you really need to get from this chart, is that as you age, the amount of QCs go up.
Ok so why the heck do I need these QC's anyways. So long as you have enough of them for your age, you are INSURED. Well, why do I care about being insured? If you are insured, it means, if you are found disabled during whenever you were insured, then you can go onto the higher paying disability program, known as SSDI. So SSDI requires these QCs, and if you have enough during a certain age, like you had 24 quarters of coverage when you were 46, then you are officially insured. This means you get to go on SSDI, which pays on average around $1,200, as opposed to SSI, which pays around $735 (2017). Ok now we know the differences between the eligibility requirements for SSI and SSDI. Cool, now we need to know their shared elements, aka their medical eligibility requirements.
You must be earning under substantial gainful activity (SGA) per month (2017 $1,170).
You must have a disability that has lasted 12 months, will last 12 months, or will be terminal.
You must have medical equivalency to a pre-defined list of disabilities, or go through a residual functional capacity analysis.
You must not be able to do the work you did within the past 15 years.
You must not be able to do relevant transferrable skilled work, or unskilled work.
These are the major eligibility requirements for the social security disability programs, being SSI and SSDI.

Bobby Fischer, the iconoclastic genius who was one of the greatest chess players the world has ever seen, died on Thursday in a hospital in Reykjavik, Iceland. He was 64.
Gardar Sverrisson, a family friend who lived in the same apartment building in Reykjavik as Mr. Fischer, confirmed the death but gave no cause. Mr. Fischer had been dealing for some time with an unspecified illness.
Mr. Fischer, the most powerful American player in history, had moved to Iceland in 2005. He had emerged briefly in 1992 from a mysterious seclusion that had lasted two decades and defied an American ban on conducting business in wartorn Yugoslavia to play a $5 million match against his old nemesis, the Russian-born grandmaster Boris Spassky.
After he won handily, he dropped out of sight again, living alone. He avoided arrest on American charges over his Yugoslavia appearance and stayed in touch with his few friends in the United States by telephone, compelling them to keep his secrets or risk his rejection.
He lived in Budapest — and possibly the Philippines and Switzerland — and emerged now and then on radio stations in Iceland, Hungary and the Philippines to rant in increasingly belligerent terms against the United States and against Jews.
Mr. Fischer's 1992 victory against Mr. Spassky was a sad reprise of his most glorious triumph. It was in summer 1972, in a match played in Reykjavik, that Mr. Fischer wrested the world championship from Mr. Spassky, becoming the first — and as yet only — American to win the title, which Russian-born players had held for more than four decades.
Mr. Fischer won with such brilliance and dramatic flair that he became an icon, an unassailable representative of greatness in the world of competitive games, much as Babe Ruth had been and Michael Jordan would become.
In July 2004, he was seized by the Japanese authorities when he tried to board a plane from Japan to Manila and was accused of trying to leave the country on an invalid passport. He was detained in prison for nine months while the various governments, as well as a staunch group of supporters in the chess world, tried to resolve the issue.
In 1999, in a series of telephone interviews he gave to a radio station in the Philippines, he rambled angrily and profanely about an international Jewish conspiracy, which he said was bent on destroying him personally and the world generally.
Through July and most of August, the attention of the world was riveted on the Spassky-Fischer match. Americans who didn't know a Ruy Lopez from a Poisoned Pawn watched a hitherto unknown commentator named Shelby Lyman explain each game on public television. All this was Mr. Fischer's doing. Bobby Fischer the rebel, the enfant-terrible, the tantrum-thrower, the uncompromising savage of the chess board, had captured the imagination of the world. Because of him, for the first time in the United States, the game, with all its arcana and intimations of nerdiness, was cool. And when it was over, he walked away with a winner's purse of $250,000, a sum that staggered anyone ever associated with chess. When Mr. Spassky won the world championship, his prize was $1,400.
Mr. Fischer's victory was widely seen as a symbolic triumph for Democracy over Communism, and it turned the new champion into an unlikely American hero. He was invited to the White House by President Richard M. Nixon, interviewed on television, hounded by journalists, wooed unsuccessfully by commercial interests. Sales of chess sets skyrocketed; so did fees for chess lessons, as scores of poverty-stricken chess players benefited from the cachet that Mr. Fischer had conferred on them.
But Mr. Fischer was incapable of sustaining himself in the limelight, and by the beginning of 1973, he had withdrawn into the weird, contrarian solitude he more or less maintained for the remainder of his life. Over the years, he turned down huge financial offers to play, among them a bid of $1.4 million from the Hilton Corporation to defend his title in Las Vegas and even larger sums from dictators like Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines and the Shah of Iran to compete in their countries. He said the money wasn't enough.
At the same time, he tithed to the Worldwide Church of God, a fringe church he had become involved with beginning in the early 1960s. The church followed Hebrew dietary laws and Sabbath proscriptions and believed in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. For a time, Mr. Fischer lived in Pasadena, Calif., the church's home base, or nearby Los Angeles, where he was said to spend his time replaying chess games and reading Nazi literature. There were reports that he was destitute, though the state of Mr. Fischer's finances was never very clear.
In chess circles, rumors surfaced intermittently that he was playing, that he was training, that he was about to make a comeback. He invented a new kind of chess clock, which automatically rewarded players for moving quickly toward the end of the game, restoring time each time a move is made. He began railing to other chess players that computers, with their ability to analyze deeply into a position, had ruined the mystery of chess, making it knowable. He advocated a variation on the game in which the pieces on the back rank, at the start, are lined up randomly rather than in their prescribed formation. But he did not emerge publicly until 1992, when he accepted the offer to play against Mr. Spassky again on an island in the Adriatic.
A man of narrow interests but great intellectual gifts — he reportedly had an I.Q. of 181 — Mr. Fischer was a hugely demanding personality (some said charismatic, some merely infuriating) who felt his prowess as a chess player entitled him to exorbitant privilege. For much of his life, he fought imperiously on behalf of that entitlement, demanding uncompromising loyalty from his supporters, concessions from his opponents, special treatment from tournament organizers and unalloyed respect from the world at large. It was an outlook that became ever more skewed as his life went on. In the end his self-involvement was his undoing, isolating him from all but the most obsequious chess-world worshipers.
Robert James Fischer was born in Chicago on March 9, 1943. His father, a German-born physicist named Gerard, Gerhard or Gerhardt Fischer — his name appears variously spelled — and his mother, the former Regina Wender, divorced when Bobby was 2. Shortly thereafter, the elder Fischer left the United States and his family for good, and Bobby and his older sister, Joan, were reared by their mother, a Swiss-born registered nurse and schoolteacher.
Regina Fischer moved her young family first to California and then to Arizona before settling in a Brooklyn walkup, where Bobby grew up. The strong-willed Mrs. Fischer, who would later study medicine and become a political activist on behalf of pacifist causes both in the United States and Europe, had an uneven influence on her willful son.
When he was a teenager, she tried to dissuade him from concentrating solely on chess. "She keeps in my hair and I don't like people in my hair, so I had to get rid of her," Mr. Fischer once told a reporter. But she also helped raise money for her son to compete in international tournaments and even picketed the White House in an appeal for aid to the American delegation at the 1960 Chess Olympics. Still, after the Spassky championship match, when her son spoke of his admiration for Mr. Nixon, she campaigned vigorously for Senator George S. McGovern, Mr. Nixon's opponent in the 1972 Presidential election.
Mrs. Fischer was Jewish; her son developed a hatred against Jews that became more virulent as he grew older. Nonetheless, mother and son evidently kept in touch over the years, and when she died in 1997, Mr. Fischer was said to have been distraught. His sister died soon afterward, and acquaintances of Mr. Fischer speculated that the two losses further taxed his fragile hold on rationality. Having never married or had children, Bobby Fischer leaves no immediate survivors.
He was fiercely competitive — some said he was driven by an abject fear of losing. At the chessboard he possessed the pitilessness of a tyrant — "I love to see them squirm," he once said of his opponents. From early on, he buttressed his penchant for original thinking with monumental study, and he became known for his mastery of the game's literature. "Practice! Study! Talent!" was his formula for success. In a short time he would become incomparable at all phases of chess, from openings to endgames, and though renowned as an attacker, he was, like Garry Kasparov after him, an underrated, even brilliant defensive strategist.
The King's Gambit — an opening strategy in which White sacrifices a kingside pawn to get a quick attack — had long been dismissed as too risky and romantic, seductive only to the blindly attack-minded.

Recent hammer highlights from Modern first editions to Eagle comics
A selection of stand-out results achieved at auctions in the UK and abroad.
Crushed by ice
A striking image titled Critical Position of HMS Investigator on the North Coast of Baring Island is among the best known plates from Samuel Gurney Cresswell's A Series of Eight Sketches... of the HMS Investigator, Capt. M'Clure, during the Discovery of the North West Passage.
Published in large atlas folio form in 1854, the map and eight plates depict events in the progress of a West-East expedition from the Bering Strait to the Davis Strait in 1850-53. The wreck of the Investigator, abandoned by McClure and his men after it was crushed by ice, was located by Canadian archaeologists in 2010.
This copy, rated by Castlecomer, Ireland, auctioneer Fonsie Mealy as extremely fine, edged past the high estimate to sell at €24,000 (£20,160) on December 13.
Touch of glass
Tall and thin, as befits the subject matter, the very rare work shown above is a 1760, third, enlarged edition of The Plate-Glass Book...
In Toovey's book sale in West Sussex on October 4 this copy, in a bumped, scuffed, rubbed and now splitting, but nonetheless original calf binding, was bid to £380.
The work of an un-named 'Glass-House Clerk', it offers in extensive tabular form the values of finished looking glasses, together with the cost of grinding, polishing, silvering and cutting, and much more besides. A 'Complete Appraiser' section also offers instructions on the valuation of kitchen and household furniture. The work was first issued in 1757.
Mockingbird first
A signed and inscribed 1960 first of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird reached $22,500 (£17,855) at PBA Galleries in San Francisco on October 6. The jacket had a few faults – a little rubbing, staining, a small tape repair and so on – but it was unrestored and there was the all-important inscription, To Adam Khan, with best wishes, Harper Lee.
What made it extra special, however, was an accompanying typed letter in which Harper Lee replied to Ali Khan, the man who had sent the book to her and asked that she inscribe it for his son. At the bottom of the letter, she has written in ink: In view of the fact that you did not send return postage, I am returning this package 1st class instead of express mail. H.L.
Wright at night
Thomas Wright (1711-86), a teacher of navigation and a land surveyor, had from a young age tried to find an explanation of what he saw in the night skies that would accommodate both his religious beliefs and scientific understanding.
His ideas were crystallised in his 1750 work An original theory or new hypothesis of the universe, founded upon the laws of nature, and solving by mathematical principles the general phaenomena of the visible creation; and particularly the Via Lactea.
A total of 32 engraved plates, among them several fine mezzotints, illustrate the work including the image of the Milky Way pictured above. It is taken from a copy in a contemporary binding of mottled calf gilt that doubled the previous best for the work at auction when it sold for £15,000 at Forum Auctions in London on September 22.
Eagle eyed
This pre-publication proof copy of the very first issue of the Eagle was offered by Comic Book Auctions on June 12.
It was run off at Sun Printers in Watford to check registration and colour balance before the main production run was initiated by Eric Bemrose in Liverpool, where a new Rotogravure print-line had been specially installed. Worn and untrimmed, it shows roller marks and cost notes to the margins of the front page, but it sold well at £620.
Chuffed with a record
Published in 1945, The Three Railway Engines was the very first of the much-loved railway books of the Rev Wilbert Awdry. A Dominic Winter sale of July 20-21 offered a remarkably fine copy.
The cream cloth covers were a little bowed and the jacket, showing Edward, Gordon and Henry, slightly rubbed and dusty, but it was generally in excellent condition and sold at a treble-estimate and record £1600.
Another 25 books, all set on the island of Sodor, followed before Awdry's son Christopher, for whom the stories had originally been created, took over and added another 16 – the last being published in 2011.
European animal attractions
A rare anamorphic map celebrating the 1856 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the Crimean War was sold for £4000 by Dominic Winter in South Cerney, near Cirencester, on January 25.
The work of Tom Onwhyn and published by Rock Brothers & Payne, the map's most striking figure is the Russian Bear, seen lifting its bloody paw off the Crimean peninsula.
Italy is depicted as a mad dog in convulsions, being strangled by a collar labelled 'popery', Poland is depicted as a gravestone with 'Defunct nationality' engraved upon it and Austria is a double-headed ass.
This 19 x 24in (48 x 62cm) map was still in its soiled and frayed pictorial wrappers, and has a description key to the verso of a now detached upper cover.
Natural history pioneer
Illustrated with 36 hand-coloured plates by and after George Catton, Animals drawn from Nature and Engraved in Aquatint was printed in 1788. It is considered the earliest use of aquatint for a work on natural history.
In a first edition copy sold for a record £7500 at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh on August 31, the plates are mounted on blanks and framed within ink and wash borders with the captions added in ink. It carries the armorial bookplate of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester.
Catton was taught by his father (Charles Catton the Younger, a coach painter to George III) and admitted to the RA Schools in 1775. He worked as a landscape artist and as a book illustrator before emigrating to North America in 1804 where he settled at a farm on the River Hudson.
Gilt gifted
A single sheet of gilt embossed and coloured paper produced c.1760 in Augsburg by Johann Carl Munck sold for £720 at Roseberys in south London on September 6 as part of the Hans and Tanya Schmoller collection.
Printing brocade paper involved thick metal plates or rollers to press patterns of golf leaf into sheets of paper. Only few complete and undamaged sheets have survived, with this example showing the name of the maker in the frame, and the place of manufacture and a serial number.
Hans Schmoller (1916-85) was a typographer at Penguin from 1949 and went on to become head of production and director. Among his major achievements were the Buildings of England series and the Pelican History of Art.
Baseball novel pitch
Pitched at $600-900 but scoring a 'home run' at $8000 (£6170) in a Bonhams New York sale of September 21 was a copy of the first novel devoted exclusively to baseball.
Noah Brooks' Our Base Ball Club and How it won the Championship was published by EP Dutton in 1884. The copy offered in New York was a good one in only faintly soiled and edge rubbed pictorial cloth. Illustrated with 10 full-page wood engraved plates, it also features an introduction by Albert Spalding, a successful pitcher with the Chicago White Stockings who later became president of the club and co-founder of the Spalding sporting goods company.
Shepard classics
The original pencil sketches from the 1931 EH Shepard-illustrated edition of The Wind in the Willows appear on the market only occasionally. A diminutive example showing Mole and Ratty in nightwear was included in Sworders' Books & Maps sale in Stansted Mountfitchet on September 27. It is thought to relate to the passage: 'A terribly sleepy Mole had to be escorted upstairs by his considerate host, to the best bedroom, where he soon laid his head on his pillow in great peace and contentment.'
The reverse of the little drawing, measuring 5 x 4½in (12 x 11cm), is inscribed with Shepard's home address. It sold for £15,400 (estimate £6000-10,000).
Climbing sale heights
Edmund Thomas Coleman, one of the original members of the Alpine Club, climbed Mont Blanc twice. He gives an account of one of those ascents in the text of the slim folio Scenes from the Snow-Fields: Illustrations of the Upper Ice World from Sketches made on the Spot. However, it is the 12 chomolitho plates after the author's own paintings that make this 1859 work so desirable.
The copy offered as part of a single-owner collection of travel books at Swann Auction Galleries, New York, on October 18 showed foxing to the text leaves and some dampstaining along the fore-edges of the plates but only three other copies have come to auction in the last 20 or so years. This one made a record $13,000 (£10,570).
Snowy on the moon
On a marché sur la Lune, or as it became known in English, Explorers on the Moon, was the 15th of Hergé's Tintin books to be published. The artwork shown above was first seen on April 1, 1953, during the tale's serialisation in the journal Tintin, and appeared the following year in the 1954 bookform edition.
Tintin, his dog Milou (Snowy in the English language editions), Captain Haddock and, in one image, Professor Tournesol (Professor Calculus), experience the ups and downs of the moon's very different gravitational effect.
In an Artcurial sale on November 19 called simply The World of Hergé – Tintin's Creator, it sold for €1.25m (£1.07m) – a record for a single-page artwork by Hergé.
Auction expectation
Sold for $40,000 (£32,520) in a Leslie Hindman sale in Chicago on November 2 was a copy of a well-known Dickensian rarity: a three-decker, first bookform edition of Great Expectations in the original violet and gilt cloth bindings.
Most examples of this 1861 edition, limited to just 1000 copies, went to circulating libraries and the inevitable consequences of frequent, sometimes rough handling has meant that well preserved copies are now hard to find.
The Hindman example was a fifth impression copy from that first edition run.
Made of cheese?
Two extraordinarily fine and exceptionally rare early engravings of the moon sold for £100,000 at Christie's on December 1. The pair of 'Lunar Planispheres' showing the moon in a flat light, and a hypothetical oblique light, was produced in 1805-06 by John Russell.
As a painter Russell is best known for his portrait work. The astronomer William Herschel, whom he painted holding a stellar chart following his discovery of Venus, was the friend who supplied the powerful telescope that he needed for his observations.
Anne Frank poem
An album leaf bearing a greeting and an eight-line poem in Anne Frank's hand sold at €140,000 (£119,660) in the Haarlem salerooms of Bubb Kuyper on November 22.
Dated March 28, 1942, just three months before Anne and her family went into hiding in the 'Achterhuis', the lines are written and signed on a leaf from a poezie album, or friendship book, and are addressed to a schoolfriend, Christiane, nicknamed Cri-Cri, who died in 2006.
Mahler record breaker
A record for any musical manuscript was set at Sotheby's Bond Street on November 29 when the complete score for Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 2, 'Resurrection', sold for £3.9m. Running to 232 pages and written in the composer's distinctive hand throughout, the manuscript reveals Mahler's compositional process through a series of deletions, alterations and annotations, many in blue crayon.
It came to auction from the estate of the American economist and businessman, Gilbert Kaplan (1941-2016), who had become infatuated with the symphony after hearing it performed at New York's Carnegie Hall in 1965.
He later realised his dream of conducting the piece with the world's greatest orchestras, recording it with both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic.

La casa del Poeta Trágico (también llamada La casa Homérica o La casa de la Ilíada) es una típica vivienda romana del siglo II a. C. ubicada en Pompeya, Italia. Esta domus es famosa por sus refinados suelos de mosaico y por sus frescos, que describen escenas de la mitología griega.

Historia

Descubierta en noviembre de 1824 por el arqueólogo Antonio Bonucci, la casa del Poeta Trágico ha despertado el interés de investigadores y escritores durante generaciones. Aunque el domus no es de gran tamaño, su decoración interior es abundante y de mayor calidad que la de otros frescos y mosaicos de la antigua Pompeya. Este contraste entre las dimensiones de la casa y la importancia de su ornamentación ha hecho plantear muchas incógnitas sobre la vida de sus propietarios. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre los miembros de la familia, los cuales probablemente fallecieron durante la erupción del monte Vesubio en 79.

Localización

En la actualidad, para facilitar la localización de los edificios en el plano, Pompeya se divide en nueve regiones, las cuales a su vez se distribuyen en ínsulas. La casa del Poeta Trágico está situada en la Regio VI, Insula 8; en la zona noroeste de la ciudad, al norte del foro. La vivienda se emplazaba en la Vía di Nola (actualmente Via delle Terme), una de las calles más importantes de Pompeya, que unía el foro con la Vía de las Tumbas. Tiene además otra entrada lateral desde el Vicolo della Fullonica. Enfrente del acceso principal de la vivienda y al lado opuesto de la calle se encuentra el edificio de las termas del foro.

Descripción de la planta

Como en la mayoría de las viviendas romanas de la época, la casa del Poeta Trágico está dividida en dos grandes áreas principales, una pública y otra privada. La parte delantera de la casa, orientada al sur, constituye la zona pública. Tiene un acceso central y dos grandes espacios situados a ambos lados del mismo, con muros abiertos hacia la calle (2) (véase plano). Estas habitaciones estarían destinadas a la actividad comercial de los habitantes de la casa (tabernae), o menos probablemente al alojamiento de los sirvientes. A través de la entrada principal se accede a un corredor estrecho o vestíbulo (1), al final del cual se sitúa el atrio (3), la estancia más decorada de toda la domus. En este patio abierto se ubica el impluvium, un estanque rectangular rehundido en el suelo bajo un techo abierto o compluvium, cuya función era la de recoger el agua de lluvia para ser utilizada por los miembros de la casa. En la parte norte del impluvium había una fuente para extraer agua del estanque. En el lado opuesto del atrio se encuentra el tablinum (8), una segunda estancia pública abierta.

Desde estas áreas principales se distribuyen otras habitaciones más pequeñas y privadas, que constituyen la segunda zona de la casa. A lo largo del muro oeste de la vivienda se disponen una serie de cubicula o dormitorios (6). Al lado opuesto del atrio se suceden un pequeño vestuario (4), otro cubiculum (6), un ala o habitación de servicio del comedor (7), y un oecus o pequeño comedor (12). La cara norte del tablinum se abre a un gran peristilo o jardín abierto (10). Entre el oecus y el tablinum se sitúa un fauces o corredor (9), que también da acceso al peristilo.

A la derecha del patio ajardinado se encuentra la estancia más importante de la casa (15), la cual se cree que se usaba como comedor. Al lado de este salón principal hay una pequeña área de cocina (13). A la izquierda del peristilo se ubican otros cubicula (14) y se abre una puerta de servicio a una calle lateral, el Vicolo della Fullonica (16). Por último, en la esquina noroeste del jardín se construyó un pequeño lararium (11) o santuario destinado a adorar los lares o dioses familiares.

A la izquierda del atrio se ubica una habitación con un rellano y unas escaleras (5). Aunque la documentación y los expertos han confirmado con seguridad la existencia de una planta superior en la casa del Poeta Trágico, poco se conoce sobre su diseño concreto, ya que se destruyó con toda probabilidad en la erupción del monte Vesubio.

Estancias y decoración artística

Vestíbulo

El suelo del vestíbulo se decoró con el mosaico de un perro doméstico con correa, encadenado a un punto arbitrario. Bajo la figura se lee la inscripción "CAVE  CANEM", el equivalente antiguo de la conocida advertencia "cuidado con el perro". Esta frase, al igual que las señales actuales, avisaba a los visitantes que entraban bajo su propia responsabilidad y servía como protección de las zonas más privadas de la casa. El resto del suelo del vestíbulo estaba decorado con teselas en forma de damero, con azulejos en blanco y negro. Este patrón estaba enmarcado con un recuadro de dos líneas negras que rodeaban la habitación.

Atrio
Después de la casa de los Vettii, la casa del Poeta Trágico era la vivienda con los frescos de temática mitológica de mayor tamaño de toda Pompeya. El atrio era la estancia de mayor riqueza artística de la casa. Cada escena tiene una superficie de unos 3800 cm² (cuatro pies cuadrados), con figuras ligeramente más pequeñas que el tamaño real. Las imágenes representan por lo general a hombres sentados y a mujeres en movimiento, las cuales son normalmente el centro de la acción, protagonizando las tramas de los  famosos mitos griegos.

En el muro sur del atrio se encontraron dos frescos, uno de Zeus y Hera en el monte Ida y otro de Afrodita, este último actualmente destruido casi por completo. La escena de Zeus y Hera representa la pérdida de la virginidad de la diosa (la transición de niña a mujer), al ser retirado el velo de su cabeza, exponiendo simbólicamente su cara. La imagen de Afrodita era probablemente un desnudo al aire libre con otras figuras. Muchos investigadores coinciden en que podría ser una representación del Juicio de Paris. El fresco de Zeus y Hera forma parte de la colección del Museo Arqueológico de Nápoles.

En el muro este se hallaron las escenas  de Aquiles y Briseida y de Helena y Paris. En la primera imagen se ve a Aquiles entregando a Briseida al rey griego Agamenón, quien aparta el velo de la mujer para mostrar su rostro compungido. En la segunda imagen, Helena embarca para regresar a su patria de Troya. Aunque no aparece en la imagen, se supone que Paris está sentado en la barca junto a ella. Ambas escenas se encuentran en la colección del Museo Arqueológico de Nápoles.

En el muro oeste del atrio destacan las escenas de Anfítrite y Poseidón y de Aquiles y Agamenón. La primera imagen, también llamada popularmente El rapto de Anfítrite, representa a Eros y a Poseidón luchando, con numerosas ninfas desnudas rodeándoles. La segunda, conocida como La ira de Aquiles, describe el episodio de La Ilíada en el cual Aquiles se muestra furioso tras perder a Briseida.

Tablinum
El suelo del tablinum, al igual que el del vestíbulo, estaba decorado con un elaborado mosaico. Los arqueólogos contemporáneos decidieron llamar a la vivienda "La casa del Poeta Trágico" debido a la importancia del mismo, ya que es el motivo central de la habitación. En él, unos actores se reúnen entre bastidores para preparar una representación teatral, mientras un personaje se viste y otro toca una flauta. Otras figuras rodean una caja con máscaras que van a ser utilizadas durante la obra. Actualmente el original se encuentra en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Nápoles.

Al lado de este mosaico había otro de Atenea y Zeus, cuya escena probablemente relataba el nacimiento de la diosa.

Peristilo
El área semi-abierta del peristilo presenta una escena de jardín imaginaria o paradeisos, realizada con la técnica del trampantojo. Esta imagen ficticia se fusionaba con el jardín real plantado en la zona descubierta del peristilo. A la izquierda había un fresco conocido como El sacrificio de Ifigenia, en el cual la joven es capturada por Ulises y Aquiles para ser sacrificada justo en el momento en que Artemisa la sustituye por un ciervo.

Interés académico
La casa del Poeta Trágico ha servido de inspiración a numerosas obras de ficción y poesía, debido a la riqueza de las escenas mitológicas que se encontraron en su interior, unido al hecho de que todavía se sabe muy poco de sus habitantes. Entre los trabajos más destacados se encuentra la novela Los Últimos Días de Pompeya, de Edward Bulwer-Lytton, en la cual el autor imagina la vida personal del dueño de la casa, pero describe con exactitud los detalles de la misma. Otro conocido trabajo es La Casa del Poeta Trágico, de Vladimir Janovic, un poema épico inspirado en las imágenes de los mosaicos y frescos de la vivienda.

La casa ha fascinado a historiadores del arte y eruditos de la literatura clásica durante mucho tiempo, por la manera única en que se combinan las escenas de diferentes localizaciones y periodos de la mitología griega. Ningún rincón de la domus permite una visión global de todas las imágenes existentes. En lugar de ello, es necesario moverse por toda la casa y analizar las distintas partes en su conjunto. Este hecho posibilita a los observadores el análisis de otros temas más amplios de la mitología griega, como las relaciones existentes entre hombres y mujeres poderosos o las distintas deidades de la antigua Grecia.

Safyre Terry survived the arson attack that killed her father and three siblings two years ago but still faces several surgeries to tend to her critical burns.
Friends of the 8-year-old hoped she could enjoy a merry Christmas after having lived through such tragedy, so they began an online campaign to fill Safyre's card tree with Christmas cards from all over the world.
Let's make this little girl's Christmas wish come true... Safyre is a remarkable young lady who has been through so much… Her life is not easy with the surgeries she faces, but she has come a long way and is a very happy miracle child.
This little girl is no stranger to the kindness of her Rotterdam, New York community.
A motorcycle rally in September fundraised for Safyre's medical bills.
She's still here, she's still hanging in... Our goal is to watch her walk down the aisle when she's old enough to get married, because we're going to be around that long and we're going to help her every step of the way.
She's amazing, if she doesn't give you inspiration, nothing will.
The fire that took the lives of her 33-year-old father, David, and her siblings, Layah, 3, Michael, 2, and Donavan, 11 months, left Safyre with burns on 75 percent of her body.
Those interested in sending Safyre a creative card for her tree will spend mere minutes making one deserving young girl's Christmas wish come true.

FAREWELL FROM OUR REPOWER NT MANAGER
In November last year, I took up an exciting role at the Environment Centre NT spearheading the Repower NT campaign.
When ECNT director Shar and I came together to formulate the Repower NT campaign goal I remember feeling daunted by the enormity of the task we set ourselves: to create a "race-to-the-top" of renewable energy policies between the NT's political parties. With an opposition party and influential local newspaper that had shown little propensity to "back renewables", Shar and I knew we had our work cut out for us.
One NT election later, and many thousands of hours of campaigning with the support of some incredible Environment Centre NT funders and volunteers, I'm amazed at our campaign's results: for the first time ever in an NT election, all major parties from across the political spectrum supported renewable energy.
It's with a heavy heart but great pride in what we've accomplished that I now leave the Environment Centre NT. In many ways, I'm not going far. For the rest of the year, I'll be "hotdesking" from the Environment Centre NT office as I take up my new position as Communications and Media Manager for an important partner organisation, Beyond Zero Emissions.
Beyond Zero Emissions is a Melbourne-based climate change think tank that produces independent research and innovative solutions to show how Australia can reach beyond zero emissions. Many of you will be familiar with Beyond Zero Emissions thanks to a report we co-authored called the 10 Gigawatt Vision.
I feel deeply privileged to have this opportunity to transfer so many of the effective campaign strategies from Repower NT to a national organisation. It is a particularly exciting time of growth and national attention for Beyond Zero Emissions, including registering interest from the Liberal federal government and front-page coverage from The Australian and the Australian Financial Review for their Million Jobs Plan.
The Million Jobs Plan proposes nation-building, transformative projects that can upgrade our economy, modernise our industry, reskill our workforce and deliver a bright and vibrant future – economically and socially. I'm excited to be soon working on a plan that shows how we can make Australia more prosperous, fairer and more resilient and an important lifeline during this COVID-fueled economic crisis.
A big thank you to Shar, my colleague Lou, the Environment Centre NT management committee and all of the incredible and lovely people that make up our community, for making this past year such a fantastic experience.

Annmarie Hilton, Sheboygan Press Published 5:24 a.m. CT Sept. 20, 2019 | Updated 9:57 a.m. CT Sept. 24, 2019
SHEBOYGAN - Big in Sheboygan is hoping to become, well, big in Sheboygan.
The math-rock band released a preview of its upcoming album Wednesday. It also shared some thoughts on its namesake city.
"Based on some of the images I've seen, it looks like quite a picturesque coastal town," band member Paul Saward said in a Facebook message.
That's right. The London-based group has never set foot in Sheboygan, nor does it have any connection to the area. Rather, the band of "Home Alone" fans is paying homage to the iconic John Candy scene.
In the film, Candy plays Gus Polinski, "the Polka King of the Midwest."
"If there was ever a place to play a show in the states, Sheboygan would be an obvious first," Saward said. "Maybe some locals would enjoy our music."
So, locals, feel free to listen to the preview of the band's EP, "Nathaniel." The full album drops Nov. 1.

Mario Draghi, the ECB President, must be very pleased with the early results of his QE programme. He has confirmed, irrespective of the initial impact, the ECB bond buying programme will be implemented in full. This will mean a €1.1tn capital injection into the Eurozone economy through to September 2016. Mr Draghi believes it will take time for the full benefits to spread to the wider economy and return inflation to its target of 2%.
Critics of QE have warned that the ECB's monetary policy lets national politicians off the hook on essential reform and that ultimately political inaction will raise pressure to maintain emergency low levels of interest for longer. While Mr Draghi accepts these points, he currently considers them the price to pay to help countries with huge debt burdens reduce their borrowing costs and start a recovery. He considers the implementation of the full QE programme as vital to boosting confidence, growing investment, and creating higher consumption and stable inflation.
German investors were buying up gold bars and coins as a hedge against the QE programme in Europe and the threat of a Greek default. Gold is seen as a safe haven to protect against inflation and economic crisis. While overall gold demand fell across the world, it significantly increased in Germany. Generally with the absence of strong inflationary pressure and a raising US$, gold is unlikely to record any significant price movement.
Financial market reaction to the developments in Greece has been relatively muted up until early June when markets started to become very nervous. With the absence of an agreement, the risk of bond rate rising as an upward adjustment of the risk premium and losses on equity markets could materialise. While it is generally believed that the European Banks can withstand a Greek default, it would be unwise to consider that the default could be contained without global loses and some peripheral contagion.
The ECB's bigger concern in some respect is what happens to the world economy when the US Federal Reserve begins to raise interest rates. This will further raise US$ values and start changing the cost of long-term credit, consequently changing the forecasts for GDP growth and debt costs.

Va ser creat per Dorset Carter, nadiu de Purcell, Oklahoma, juntament amb d'altres empresaris interessats. L'empresa va començar el 20 de setembre de 1904 com a Canadian Valley and Western Railway Company. El 27 de setembre de 1905 va canviar el nom a Oklahoma Central Railway. La construcció va començar a Lehigh, Oklahoma, l'any 1906 i va ser completada a Chickasha, Oklahoma, l'any 1908. La ruta va ser creada, principalment, per al transport de carbó des de les mines de Lehigh fins a Purcell, on s'utilitzava per a fer funcionar les locomotores a vapor del Ferrocarril de Santa Fe.

Les vies del ferrocarril tenien una longitud de 204 quilòmetres (127 milles), i la ruta incloïa les estacions de Lehigh, Ada, Vanoss, Stratford, Byars, Rosedale, Purcell, Washington, Cole, Blanchard, Middleberg, Tabler i Chickasha.

PUBG Season 4 Trailer Reveals Surprising Origin Story Behind Battle Royale
by Jeff Marchiafava on Jul 17, 2019 at 12:16 PM
PUBG Corporation has announced a new game update that will roll out alongside PUBG's fourth competitive season. Entitled the Erangel Visual Update, the new patch will give PUBG's original map a hefty makeover, which you can see in the screens below.
While updated visuals are certainly nice, fans may be more intrigued by PUBG's new cinematic trailer, which reveals that the game's deadly battlegrounds are apparently an orchestrated competition designed by a mysterious mastermind who survived a brutal war as a child. Late last month, Call of Duty vet and Sledgehammer Games co-founder Glen Schofield announced he was joining PUBG Corp. to work on an "original narrative in the PUBG universe," so we're guessing today's trailer is just the beginning of a larger story.
PUBG's season 4 content will officially launch on July 24 on PC and head to consoles later in the summer. For more information on what else is included, check out the patch notes.

My Memorial Tattoo Allows Me To Wear My Grief On My Body
by Caila Smith

Trigger warning: child loss
I've never been a person who handles needles with my dignity intact, but I consider tattoos to be a beautiful form of artwork and outward expression. To me, the buzzing is soothing, the clean atmosphere is cleansing, and the end result is worth every needle-prick of my pain. The first one I received marked my arm at 18, while I naively believed it was a one-and-done type of ordeal. Then I lost my daughter when she was four months old to SIDS, and it was never a question that I'd mark myself again with ink. This time, in her honor.
From the beginning, I knew I needed something more in my grief than what I was already doing. I needed her most, and that was an impossibility. However, there was something I could do to keep some piece of her memory with me.
With one of my best friends by my side and a desperate longing to take an active role in my own grief, I set out to find a tattoo artist to design my first memorial piece. I ended up going with a delicate watercolor design reading "Lainey Loo," and written just beneath it the words, "too beautiful for earth."
Courtesy of Caila Smith
It was fitting for me, perfect for her, and overall, it gave me a sense of peace. Three years later, and I'm still grateful that what I envisioned was breathed to life. Believe it or not, having a memorial tattoo has helped me throughout my many recurring stages of grief.
Losing a loved one and the grief that follows sticks with a person forever. Just as the bereaved grieve in a way that is unique and permanent, memorial tattoos are also unique and permanent. The deceased's memory is honored through the ink, etched forever, and visible even in the wake of death. In a way, having a memorial tattoo defies nature, sticking with the bereaved far after their own passing.
For some, much like bereaved mother Jasmin Cox from Alaska, who lost her first child shortly after birth due to pregnancy complications, memorial tattoos can be a useful way to tell a narrative when those who are grieving find themselves unable to find the words.
"I get asked about my tattoo very frequently and sometimes it's hard, my responses vary by person if I feel up to telling her story," Cox tells Scary Mommy. "But on most days I find it too hard, so I smile and tell the person who asked, 'Yes, that is my baby.'"
Courtesy of Jasmin Cox
Despite the harsh waves that come and go in her grief, Cox says her memorial tattoo still serves its purpose in honoring her late daughter's life, even if the world around her doesn't get the privilege of knowing her intimate story.
For Bobby Blair, retired Chief Warrant Officer of the U.S., tattoo artist of seven years, and owner of Hidden Moon Studio, LLC, memorial tattoos are not a rare occurrence in his shop. Quite the contrary actually, as they make up nearly a quarter of his clientele.
"A majority of my clients will tell me their personal stories about the loss of a loved one or a pet," Blair says. "They want me to capture tiny details into the piece that [are] specific to them and may not be noticed by the passerby."
Because our relationships with the deceased couldn't be more different from one another, we cannot expect our grief to be identical. Some show their deep pain on the outside, while others harbor it inwardly and deal with its complexity behind closed doors. Yet somehow, the intimate, personal details in memorial tattoos have opened a window, leading straight into the heart of those who grieve.
For some, bereavement ink is about normalizing pain, being marked in such a way that provides closure, or even acting as a stepping stone in one's grief. For many others, it's not about feeling seen or opening up the conversation around death. Either way, it's all about the deceased.
Allen Degenerate works as a tattoo artist for Truth Ink in Fort Wayne, Indiana, seeing clients who request memorial tattoos almost daily. Since he carries personal experience with memorial tattoos, having actually been inked with his father's ashes in his honor, he practices extra compassion on his clients, knowing just how heart-wrenching it can be to discuss such a matter.
Courtesy of Allen Degenerate
"A lot of my clients say they're getting the tattoo FOR their lost loved one as if it's a gift," Degenerate says. "I see it almost as a way to prove to the ones looking down on us that they left a mark on their life and that's something worth showing off!"
There will always be those who doubt someone's need to put a permanent mark on their skin, but those are the people who don't really matter. Clearly, they haven't dealt with the depths of loss that pulls one to get inked in someone else's honor. The act of marking one's skin in honor of a loved one's loss is more than therapeutic for the immediate stages of grief. It is symbolic. It represents the fact that grief isn't merely a season, it's a life-changing moment… one the bereaved don't ever want to forget.

Q: Prove, that $f: S_{k} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}-\{0\}$ is a surjection. For $k>0$ define
$S_{k} := \{z=x+iy\in\mathbb{C}\mid |z|<k,\ \ \ \ k\cdot y>|x|\}\subset\mathbb{C}$
Let $f(z)=\exp(1/z)\ \ \ \text{for}\ \ \ z\neq 0$ Prove, that $f: S_{k} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}-\{0\}$ is a surjection.

A: The equation $w=\exp(1/z)$ has the solutions
$$z=\frac{1}{\log w} = \frac{1}{\ln|w| +i\arg w}=\frac{\ln|w|-i\arg w}{(\ln|w|)^2+(\arg w)^2},
$$
where $\arg w$ is any argument of $w$. By choosing $\arg w$ large enough negative, $|z| \approx 0$ and the real part of $z$ will be small compared to the imaginary part. Hence $z$ will be in $S_k$.


That's a pretty big statement right there. Revive your health? Is it possible?
A ketogenic diet or "keto" as you may hear it called, is a catch all nickname for anything pertaining to the metabolic state of ketosis, the burning of ketones, or the dietary macronutrient composition that promotes this metabolic state. Ketones are a source of energy in the body that are used by the brain, heart, and muscles in the same manner as glucose (sugar). They are produced in the liver as a by-product of burning fat for fuel. By comparison to the Standard American Diet, the modern ketogenic diet is very high in natural nutritious fats, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates.
When carbohydrates (sugar and starch) are eaten, they are broken down into glucose in the body. A higher carbohydrate consumption results in higher blood sugars which means more work for the nasty hormone that stores carbs as fat for later use. If you replace those carbs with a higher fat and moderate protein intake, it will result in the mitochondria of the cell switching from carb burning or sugar burning to fat burning for it's primary source of fuel. As fat is burned, some of it is converted into ketones in the liver. As blood glucose levels drop and ketones rise, your body uses the available fatty acids as an energy source.
DO I NEED XTREME KETOSIS TO DO THE KETO DIET?
No, Xtreme Ketosis is an exogenous ketone that can assist the body to reach ketosis faster. On average it takes 9 to 11 days for our bodies to reach this state with just changing our diet alone. Xtreme Ketosis will put the body into the state of ketosis for 2-3 hours after one drink. This will assist the body in reaching a full state of ketosis quickly. Xtreme Ketosis is also good if you have a "cheat" or your carb intake is a little higher than it should be for the day and you fear you may be knocked out of ketosis.

As the 'internet of things' promises to connect the things around our homes, it's a priority surely, that one of those things should be beer. The folks at Bud Light seem to think so. They're launching the Bud-E fridge, a wi-fi enabled appliance that lets you keep tabs on your stocks of beer.
The mobile app that works with the fridge serves up essential information like, how much beer you have in, how long until it reaches the optimum chilled temperature, and when the big NFL and NHL games are taking place so you can stock up beforehand. All you need now is a drone to deliver a cold one directly to your sofa.

Woman too beautiful to work turns to begging
Other news & views
Compiled by HEMANANTHANI SIVANANDAM, OH ING YEEN and R. ARAVINTHAN
A 30-YEAR-OLD woman from Lijiang in Yunnan province, China, claimed to be "too beautiful to work" and chose to be a beggar instead, Sin Chew Daily reported.
She claimed to have worked as a waitress and cashier but was fired.
She said if she wrote on a board "I'm hungry, need 10 yuan for food", maybe people will give her or maybe she can support herself by selling her body, but she would not do it.
Instead, she wrote: "I'm from Hunan, I'm a natural beauty, able-bodied, and healthy, and I choose to beg here instead of getting a job, thank you to the kind-hearted souls."
After the photos went viral, netizens expressed pity but said that someone as young, able-bodied and presentable like her should get a job instead of panhandling on the streets.
> China Press reported that a 44-year-old therapist named Mary from Britain has a husband, a fiancé and two boyfriends.
After her divorce, she met her current 43-year-old husband, who supports polyamory (having more than one relationship).
She has a fiancé but because it is illegal in Britain to have more than one spouse, they will only have a wedding ceremony in May.
The three live together, and Mary also has two boyfriends – a 63-year-old and a 73-year-old who are nearby.
She believes that polyamory will be accepted by society in the future, like how homosexuality and transexuality are accepted.
> Several leaked photos showing South Korean R&B singer-songwriter Jo Hyun-ah of Urban Zakapa group and a scantily clad newcomer, Chaejin, fooling around have caused a stir.
According to China Press, the photos showed the 22-year-old Chaejin in something similar to underwear and wine-filled glasses on the table.
Both were on KBS' reality show The Unit, in which renowned K-pop star Rain is also a mentor, with Jo, 28, as one of the mentors and Chaejin as one of the contestants.
Jo's management company issued a statement clarifying that she was not dating Chaejin and were just drinking and playing games at a friend's house.
Someone claiming to be a friend of both wrote anonymously on one forum stating that Chaejin was not in his underwear and that he had merely borrowed the shorts from a friend.
The shorts had rolled up, causing it to show like he was wearing briefs.

Handicapping Picks 21-25
doublee
Here is a preview of how picks 21 through 25 may play out in the upcoming NFL Draft.
21. Philadelphia Eagles - The Eagles have several key areas to address this offseason the most pressing of which is offensive tackle. They have already made one move to replace Jon Runyan at right tackle by signing Stacy Andrews away from the Bengals but with Tra Thomas signing with Jacksonville they know need to figure out who is going to be the starting left tackle. Winston Justice was selected in the draft a couple of years ago with the idea that he would supplant Thomas when the time was right but he has failed to live up to expectations and is rumored to be on the trading block. I cannot imagine he will fetch much on the trade market given the need the Eagles have for tackles right now. Other key needs are finding a tight end to replace L. J. Smith and finding a back to spell and/or compliment Brian Westbrook.
With two first round selections and 12 picks overall there has been a ton of speculation as to what the Eagles may do leading up to and during the draft. It has been reported that they may try to leverage some of their picks to move into the top 5 of the draft to select someone like Eugene Monroe or Jason Smith. There has also been speculation that they are talking to the Browns about Braylon Edwards that would involve Reggie Brown and picks going to Cleveland.
The consensus has been that the Eagles will take the best available running back at this spot with an eye on picking up a tackle with their second pick in the first round. Knowshon Moreno, Chris "Beanie" Wells, and Connecticut's Donald Brown have been mentioned as possible selections here. Of the three Wells probably has the most upside and talent. At his pro day workout he showed he does have the type of speed teams are looking for and displayed better than anticipated receiving skills in the position workouts. Wells is also built to be able to run the ball between the tackles which is an era the Eagles were lacking in last season. Moreno has a lot of flash and name recognition but his workouts have only been so-so while Brown is good solid back who gives a little bit of everything but does not necessarily excel in any one area.
The Eagles could also look at grabbing a tackle here with Arizona's Eben Britton and UConn's William Beatty being mentioned as possibilities here.
However, given the Eagles recent history of packaging mid-round picks to move up in the first round do not be surprised if they make the aforementioned move to get to the top of the draft and grab one of the elite tackle prospects available.
22. Minnesota Vikings - The feeling in Minnesota is that they are a quality quarterback away from being legitimate Super Bowl contenders. However, Tarvaris Jackson did show signs that the light was starting to go on as he completed over 60% of his passes in his last three starts and threw for over 230 yards in two of those contests while throwing 7 touchdowns and just one interception. Although he was exposed against the Eagles his play down the stretch was encouraging for the Vikings and he may won himself a reprieve for the time being. The Vikings also went ahead and acquired veteran quarterback Sage Rosenfels in the event that Jackson backslides and Brad Childress has to go with plan B again.
With that being said the consensus seems to be that the Vikings are targetting someone who can upgrade the receiving corps in Minnesota. Bernard Berrian is coming off a season which saw him average 20.1 yards per catch and score 7 touchdowns but he struggled with consistency and caught just 48 balls. Tight end Vinsanthe Shiancoe had a breakout season catching 42 passes and scoring seven times so the Vikings would love to find someone to compliment him and Berrian in the passing attack. Hakeem Nicks and Percy Harvin are the two most prevalent names being floated around as possibilities for the Vikings. I have to think that Darrius Heyward-Bey will be in the mix as well if he is still on the board.
23. New England Patriots - The Patriots do not have a ton of needs and the feeling is that if not for Tom Brady going down the first week of the season they would have been right there defending their AFC Championship in the playoffs. The Pats do not have a ton of needs and are likely to focus on getting younger on the defensive side of the ball. Key defensive contributers Tedy Bruschi, Junior Seau, Adalius Thomas, Roosevelt Colvin, and Shawn Springs have all been in the league for 10+ years.
Three key names to consider as possibilities for the Pats are USC LB Brian Cushing, Wake Forest CB Alphonso Smith, and USC LB Clay Matthews. Cushing is expected by many to go higher but he could very well be sitting here for the Pats to grab. Matthews continues to gain steam with each passing month he has gone from after thought to potential first round selection in the past year. Smith would give the Pats a dynamic corner they have been missing since Asante Samuel flew the coop to Philadlphia. He is on the smallish side but has good wheels, a nose for the football, and reminds me a bit of Lito Sheppard.
24. Atlanta Falcons - The Falcons are coming off a huge turn around going from 4-12 to 11-5 last season. The Falcons are pretty set on the offensive side of the ball with Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, and Roddy White leading the way. They are reported to have an interest in finding a tight end though.
The defense, however, is another story altogether. The run defense leaves a bit to be desired and the pass rush basically consists of John Abraham and little else. Abraham was the only Falcon to register more than 4 sacks last season.
Oklahoma State tight end Brandon Pettigrew and Georgia Tech defensive end Michael Johnson have been the two names prominently mentioned in relation to the Falcons. Pettigrew was once considered a lock to be a first round selection however his stock dropped a bit after he posted a 4.83 40 time at the combine which has led to the speculation that the Falcons may now be looking at Johnson as their man. Johnson is considered to be a guy with a ton of physical talent who never quite lived up to it in college. He has everything teams look for in an end it is just that the production has never live up to that.
25. Miami Dolphins - The Dolphins had a huge turnaround last season as well going from just one win to eleven. The Dolphins have needs but they don't seem to have any glaring needs that jump right out at you. They are simply good but not great in most areas. They move the ball fairly well on offense and do not turn the ball over and they play good enough defense to stay in most games.
There does not seem to be any real consensus out there on who the Dolphins will take at this spot. Hakeem Nicks could go hear as they do have a need for a bigger receiver to compliment Ted Ginn. Percy Harvin has been mentioned but he seems to be just another version of Ted Ginn which would not make a ton of sense. They could go with Clay Matthews or Larry English in an effort to compliment Joey Porter at the other linebacker spot. Vontae Davis could also be an option in an effort to beef up the secondary.
Ultimately the Dolphins will likely settle on the best available player as opposed to looking at someone to fill a need. I would not be shocked at all to see Parcells trade out of the spot altogether and look to pick up an extra pick or two.
Can I get an Amen from the bobbleheads?
Hey I said pass the ketchup! I'm eatin' salad here!
