Another Television Critics Association press tour, another PBS executive session with Paula Kerger, another session dominated by questions of why the network doesn't air Downton Abbey and Sherlock closer to the programs' debut in the United Kingdom. At this point, Kerger should almost just schedule a separate session every press tour to discuss these issues in particular, that there might be time to discuss some of the channel's other programming in her actual executive sessions. And PBS' delays of broadcast extend beyond just their two biggest hits. The same questions affect some of their more modest performers, like The Bletchley Circle and Call The Midwife (both of which will return in the spring). But both Downton and Sherlock are so widely seen—and so many reporters have comments sections full of viewers who've seen both series in their entirety already—that the question comes up again and again and again.
To be fair to PBS, it did move Sherlock up to a point where it was debuting two-and-a-half weeks after the United Kingdom debut. (Season two debuted months after the British airing.) But it's not as if 18 days is any different from five months in the eyes of ravenous Sherlock fans, who merrily went ahead and grabbed the show off torrents, streams, and other online options. Like HBO, PBS is betting on just enough people being lazy enough to wait for something to air on regular television to keep its ratings floating along. Unlike HBO, PBS has to deal with the fact that the programs it airs actually debut in another country before they debut here. To we modern creatures of the Internet, this seems like a particularly self-defeating business decision. But is it?
In the case of Downton, not really. The show's ratings increase with every season, and even if there are plenty of people who are watching the show via illicit means, it's not really hurting the mothership in any particular way. Indeed, in the week after the debut of the latest season of Downton, the premiere was streamed over a million times on PBS' streaming player. Even the people who are technologically savvy enough to conceivably find the program via other means (or at least have a child or grandchild who could hook them up) seem to be largely waiting for the program to arrive via conventional channels. Kerger spoke of this as an extension of a kind of nostalgia for the past ways of watching television, for an era when people had to wait for a series to debut at a certain time and watch it together. She mentioned Downton viewing parties and people who rearrange their schedules around the program, and she also said that to air the program at the same time as the U.K. would mean bumping up against the fall premieres on the broadcast networks. At this point, Kerger argues, the Downton audience—or at least a large enough chunk of it to drive the biggest ratings in PBS' history—is conditioned to expect the show in January, shortly after the holidays.
That's all well and good, but Sherlock remains an open question. Kerger openly admits that Sherlock has been pushed back largely because its audience is younger and more tech-savvy and, thus, better able to track down the episodes when they debut. Even though putting the show on the same night as Downton is essentially the network burning off its two biggest hits at the same time (something nearly every other channel would frown at), it's something that's largely essential so PBS doesn't lose all of its audience to those willing to watch the BBC broadcasts via whatever means they can find. There's also the open question of whether PBS could even convince the BBC to let it air the programs on the same day as the U.K. Sure, Doctor Who is day and date in the U.S., but BBC America and BBC are owned by the same media conglomerate. One presumes that any of these rights issues could be ironed out quickly enough, but PBS may have other battles to fight.
And, of course, the simple answer here is that, ultimately, not that many people consume this sort of content like we think they do because people who read sites like this are a self-selecting audience that knows how to stay on top of these sorts of things. The vast majority of people are like, say, my parents, who are super excited for the season premiere of Sherlock but don't have the foggiest idea how to get it over torrent and also don't particularly care. (They're also the people who didn't really care about the Olympics not airing live back in 2012 and were content to wait for the primetime broadcast while finding it easy to avoid spoilers because they just didn't spend that much time online.) They watched Sherlock last night when it made its U.S. debut, and if they didn't, they have it on their DVR or will watch it on the PBS site in the next few days. That might pose a long-term problem for PBS—in that it will need to figure out a way to lure in younger viewers and potential future members—but for now, it's prompting the biggest successes in the network's history.
Another British series debuting here months after it aired in the U.K.: The second season of Last Tango In Halifax will make its U.S. debut on June 29, along with Vicious.
PBS officially announced the long-rumored Ken Burns documentary on the history of country music, which one presumes will be a counterpart to the documentarian's previous Jazz. It will air in 2018, after the debuts of his other films The Address, The Roosevelts, Jackie Robinson, and Vietnam. (That's, yes, one film per year through 2018.) Kerger said in response to a question that Burns and the network have a long-standing plan that allows for a certain amount of flexibility—The Address came together fairly quickly by his standards—but has several tentpoles and major projects in place for the years to come. We can only assume he's got films planned through 2035 or something similar.
National Geographic Television and PBS are producing a new major nature miniseries Earth—A New Wild, which will debut in the spring of 2015, which is, actually, only a little over a year away. That's kinda weird, huh?
In terms of much of PBS' other programming—American Experience, American Masters, Nova, etc.—the general impression was steady as she goes. Things at the network seem to be moving along largely in the same fashion as per usual.
We'll have more from PBS throughout the day, including Myles McNutt's report on today's Sherlock panel.


Robes is a book of global dimensions that offers a compelling look at the next century. By turns startling, comforting, enlightening, and unnerving, it takes a deep look at the coming changes in nations and governments, as well as the rise of business to power. It expands to examine everything from education and population, to wars, weather, food, and famine, including the emerging human potential embedded in the body/mind system. "The most important thing for you to remember as you look at these coming changes," said the little men in brown robes, "is that things could be so much easier if you understood why these things are happening, and if you worked with them instead of against them..."
"Many may find it difficult to understand how a woman could call herself both a lesbian and a Christian. In From Robe to Robe, author Martha E. Bellinger provides the unique perspective of a lesbian woman who served in the ordained ministry and then transitioned into the legal profession, eventually proceeding all the way to the bench. In this memoir, she traces her life journey toward acceptance and openness about her own lesbianism.During her seminary years, Bellinger recognized her sexual orientation was lesbian, meeting her first partner at Princeton. Remaining in the closet, yet facing discrimination as the first female pastor in her district, she changed directions in life; she traveled to California with her partner and attended Whittier College School of Law. From Robe to Robe narrates the journey of Bellinger's early years in the legal profession, as she went through the process of coming out as a lesbian. Describing her fights with blatant discrimination in the church and more subtle discrimination in the legal profession, Bellinger communicates how these obstacles strengthened her spirituality. Believing God always loved her and created her as a lesbian, Bellinger attempts the role of Solomon in a busy courtroom each day."
The Robe: The Story of the Soldier Who Tossed for Christ's Robe and Won.
His name is Father Laforgue, a young Jesuit missionary come from Europe to the New World to bring the word of God to the heathen. He is given minimal aid by the governor of the vast territory that is proudly named New France but is in reality still ruled by the Huron, Iroquois, and Algonkin tribes who have roamed it since the dawn of time and whom the French call Savages. His mission is to reach and bring salvation to an isolatied Huron tribe decimated by disease in the far north before incoming winter closes off his path to them. His guides are a group of Savages who mock his faith and their pledges even as they accept muskets as their payment.Father Laforgue is about to enter a world of pagan power and sexual license, awesome courage and terrible cruelty, that will test him to the breaking point as both a man and a priest, and alter him in ways he cannot dream.In weaving a tautly suspenseful tale of physical and spiritual adventure in a wilderness frontier on the cusp of change, Brian Moore has written a novel that rivals Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness in its exploration of the confrontation between Western ideology and native peoples, and its meditation upon Good and Evil in the human heart.

Do You know What's "IN" for 2019?
New ideas for homes and fashion come and go. Nancy and Jem Funk, designer at Premier Lighting, share their thoughts about the color of the year, and what's in and what out for kitchens, flooring, furniture and accessories. They even discussed how fashions and interior design influences work together in your life.


There is something about nighttime that really gets my creative juices flowing. No other time of 'day' I get so much ideas and images in my head. Projects I want to bring to life. Many of which do not sound doable (at all) the next morning. As if the light coming through the windows affects my conception of what is possible and what is not. As if dreams seem more likely to come true at night.
Perhaps it is because I find something soothing about moments after midnight. The city sleeps and I am up, thinking. Letting my mind run free. No one around to say I should stop, so I don't. Besides, everyone else is dreaming, too. I just do it with my eyes open.
The moment comes and it is mine. The world stops. Serenity covers me with its warm blanket.

halsey talks to debbie harry about bipolar disorder and feminism
"Females have a lot more to deal with hormonally than men," the rock icon says.
A post shared by halsey (@iamhalsey) on Jan 13, 2017 at 11:13am PST
Halsey has talked about her bipolar disorder a lot since revealing her diagnosis in 2015. Receiving praise from fans, the singer talked openly about a past suicide attempt last year. Now, she's turning to former legends for advice and guidance. For the latest issue of Teen Vogue, the singer sat down for a one-on-one with Debbie Harry. During their conversation, Halsey and Harry touched on feminism, maintaining mental wellness, and knowing who your real friends are.
"I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 16," Halsey told Harry. "It's a royal pain in the ass. When you're a person with a platform, there's this necessity to constantly be sound of mind and well behaved and calm and politically correct."
Harry responded, "Females have a lot more to deal with hormonally than men. You have to have a great deal of patience and forgiveness for yourself."
Harry, 71, and Halsey, 22, together as a Thelma and Louise-esque duo — building women up while knocking misogyny down — makes sense. The two women have consistently been vocal about their experiences as women in a male-dominated industry. Harry has used her platform to speak against ageism within Hollywood. "Regardless of what I say about trying to be better at what I do, I rely on looks a lot," Harry admitted once. "Women's calling cards, unfortunately, are based on their looks. As far as ageing goes, it's rough."
Despite the industry's prejudices, Harry is still cranking out new music. Blondie released its 11th studio album, Pollinator, in May, featuring songs written by Sia, Charli XCX, and Dev Hynes.
Halsey, who has a new album coming out in June, has also consistently shared a feminist message with her fans. The singer frequently takes stabs at the patriarchy with 140 characters or less, once tweeting, "Virginity is a social construct designed to shame women. Don't fear your sexuality. It's yours to own or to preserve."
At this rate, who knows what profound advice Halsey will be offering up to the next generation of pop singers when she's 71 herself.

From airport homecomings to courthouse celebrations and more.
Adoption can be a long, grueling and emotional process, but as adoptive parents will tell you, the result makes it all worth it.
In honor of National Adoption Month, HuffPost is shining a light on families who've grown through adoption, and raising awareness for the children who still need loving homes. To celebrate the beauty of adoption, we gathered photos of adoption homecomings, courthouse finalizations, births, first meetings and more.
Here are 35 beautiful photos of parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even friends coming together as families through adoption.
"Thirteen years under the title 'orphan' and in what seemed like a moment, Nate became a son. As we drove the 40-minute journey to meet Nate, the Harris family shared their inner thoughts and feelings about what it was like to be moments away from their son. And then our van rounded the corner, the gate was rolled back and Nate jumped out of the car. This is the moment Tiffany and Adam Harris first laid eyes on their son in real life. Nate ran into his mother's arms repeating, 'Hello mother, my mother, mother.'"Photo by Whitney Runyon of The Archibald Project, an orphan care advocacy organization using media to eliminate the orphan crisis, one story at a time. You can follow The Archibald Project on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
"At Kings County Family Court in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of The New York Foundling, Ms. Mayra Rivera adopted four siblings all at once to ensure that they could remain together as a family under one roof. Ms. Rivera has been a foster parent for six years, and on Nov. 16, she adopted Shawn, William, Rosa and Na Maya. Ms. Rivera, who runs a day care center from her home, said, 'It was a situation that was just supposed to be for a few months, but after a few years, I felt that they were already mine, so I wanted to adopt them to give them a good home.'"
"The Shaws waited a long time for this moment, four years to be exact. Their adoption journey landed them with Mwana Villages 20 months ago when they first found out about their daughter. This is their journey to their daughter. Adoption can be hard and broken, and the meeting moments aren't the cure all, but they sure are sweet. It was a special moment getting to witness the redemption that was brought through this long wait."Photo by Allie Chandler of The Archibald Project, an orphan care advocacy organization using media to eliminate the orphan crisis, one story at a time.

"After learning the corrupt side of international adoption, the Bridgers family found Mwana Villages, a holistic and ethical family organization in the Republic of the Congo. When the Bridgers learned that Mwana Villages first seeks to support the birth family and keep children in their family of origin they knew this was an organization they could trust. They set out to adopt two children who they researched and found to be truly in need of adoption."Photo by Whitney Runyon of The Archibald Project, an orphan care advocacy organization using media to eliminate the orphan crisis, one story at a time.

"Ben was adopted as a 2-year-old from China. Ben has Down syndrome, and in order to thrive in life, he truly needed to be adopted. We traveled with the Baxter family to Ben's home country, and were humbled to capture their story through photos and film. We hope this story inspires more people to consider adopting children with Down syndrome as it is beautiful and much needed."Photo by Whitney Runyon of The Archibald Project, an orphan care advocacy organization using media to eliminate the orphan crisis, one story at a time.

"At Kings County Family Court in Brooklyn, NY, with the help of The New York Foundling, Kimberly Westbrooks adopted the fifth child of five siblings to ensure that the children can all remain part of the same family. Ms. Westbrooks has been a foster parent for 11 years, fostering and adopting siblings Roberto, Breanna, Tyler, August and finally, their baby brother Xavier last week, just in time for Thanksgiving! As their foster mother, Ms. Westbrooks has said that it wasn't planned that she would ultimately adopt all five children, however, over time she said, 'I couldn't let the other kids go, and it became my job to keep them all together.'"
"This is a powerful story of brave people choosing to walk down an unknown path for the sake of another human being's life. Two women, each a mother in their own right, entered a hospital, one carrying a babe in her womb, the other carrying a babe in her heart. These women are forever knit together by this brave love called domestic adoption."

Junior (B) Footballers Defeat Lough Rovers in League.
The Brian Dillons Junior (B) Footballers collected the points in the City Division Junior (2) Football game, when they had a hard earned four point win ,over Lough Rovers, on Sunday afternoon, 15th February, 2015, which was played in the Tank Field. Fielding a way stronger team than the previous Sunday"s loss to Delanys, Brian Dillons, with six changes in personnel, proved too strong in the end against the usual spirited resistance from Lough Rovers. Played under very difficult conditions, on a gloomy Sunday afternoon, with the steady drizzle making ball control hazardous and the Tank Field sod becoming heavy and slippery, the Brian Dillons gaffer, John Colohan, must have been pleased with the performance and attitude of his players Once, Tommy Boland put Brian Dillons ahead, with the opening point in the fifth minute, after receiving a pass from Dave Coughlan Brian Dillons never fell behind in this game in spite of the strong challenge from the Lough. At the end of the opening half, Brian Dillons were leading by 0-5 to 0-1, with Minor player, Thomas McGrath, helping himself to three points from play. The Brian Dillons defence were solid and disciplined, in the first half, which limited the Lough"s scoring to just a solitary point during the opening thirty minutes. A pointed free, from Dave Coughlan, pushed Brian Dillons six points ahead, in the second minute of the second half, but, then followed a sustained period of pressure from the Lough which won them a penalty kick , eight minutes after the interval. The penalty kick was ,initially, saved by the Brian Dillons heroic "keeper, John Shek, but the rebound was finished to the net by the Lough"s penalty taker, at the second attempt. Two minutes later, the Lough pointed which left only a point between the teams, and Brian Dillons looked to be in trouble.. However, the team responded to the challenge, with the defence, splendidly marshalled by inspiring skipper, Eoin Hennessy,holding the Lough forwards scoreless for the remainder of the game. With ten minutes remaining in the game, Brian Dillons got a vital score,when the impressive, Thomas McGrath, after receiving a splendid assist from Luke O"Connell, billowed the back of the net, which put his team four points clear. With ground conditions worsening,the closing ten minutes were played out with no further scores, and at the final whistle, Brian Dillons were deserving winners on a 1-6 to 1-2 scoreline. Scorers for Brian Dillons were; Thomas McGrath, 1-3; Dave Coughlan, 0-2 (frees) and Tommy Boland,0-1. The Brian Dillons team lined out as follows; John Shek; Stephen Coughlan; Paul Horgan; Ciarain Kelleher; Kevin O"Sullivan; James Murphy; Eoin Hennessy(Captain); Luke O"Connell; Ethan Keane; Dave Coughlan; Ken McCarthy; Gavin Walsh; Thomas McGrath; Tommy Boland; Sean Kelly; Subs; Brian Manning for Ken McCarthy; Damian Horgan for Ethan Keane and Mark Sheedy for Gavin Walsh (All during second half ).

Sustainability at Evonik
Value Chain & Products
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT RECEIVES INTERNATIONAL AWARD
The League of American Communications Professionals (LACP) has presented Evonik with the silver award in the "Chemistry" category for its 2017 Sustainability Award.
Founded in 2001, the renowned LACP provides a forum for experts from around the world to hold dialog on exemplary achievements in the industry. This year, financial and sustainability reports of almost 1,000 companies from more than 20 countries were submitted to the jury.
Evonik won the award in the category for companies with a turnover of more than US$ 10 billion. The members of the jury assessed all submitted publications against the criteria of cover design, foreword, text style and report narrative, creativity and clarity. Evonik's report earned a total of 97 out of a possible 100 points. "We are delighted to receive this international award. It encourages us in our aspiration to make Evonik's sustainability report better each year," said Hannelore Gantzer, Head of Corporate Responsibility Relations.
In 2017, the focus was on processes and key figures with which the economic, ecological, and social impact of Evonik's actions can be evaluated. Since 2017, Evonik also takes non-financial risks even more strongly into account in its traditional risk reporting. Opportunities and risks in sustainability are systematically recorded, monitored and reported via the risk management system.
In addition, the company succeeded in introducing a new reporting standard of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) one year earlier than necessary. The "GRI Standards" will be mandatory for reporting in line with GRI as of July 1, 2018. The GRI guidelines are regarded as the most commonly used framework for sustainability reporting by companies and organizations worldwide. Kathrin-Maria Beermann, Senior Expert at Corporate Responsibility Relations, said, "As a multi-stakeholder initiative, GRI maintains ongoing dialog with a wide variety of stakeholders. It responds to their expectations and uses these as a basis to continuously further develop the reporting guidelines."

Nio revamps Formula E management team
By Lawrence Butcher	 30th November 2021 No Comments
Alex Hui, right
Alex Hui is to take on the role of team principal of the Nio 333 Formula E team, with Russell O'Hagan working alongside as deputy team principal and chief operations officer. Hui has been with Nio since Brilliance in Excellence took over the ownership and management of the team in 2016. He initially worked as a consultant and then as executive director alongside CEO Vincent Wang.
"It is an honor to accept the position of team principal," said Hui. "I look forward to preparing the team for the new Gen3 era of Formula E with Vincent and Russell while helping to deliver NIO 333's best performance in the coming season.
"We are in the process of bringing the team toward the front of the grid and I am fully committed to supporting our colleagues to shorten this process. Together, we shall pursue not only on-track improvements but also a new pathway to our sustainable future."
O'Hagan joined Nio earlier this year, having previously been operations director at Craft-Bamboo Racing. He has been Nio 333's acting team principal since Christian Silk's departure in August.
"We have an exciting time ahead as we continue to settle into our new HQ at Silverstone and push forward ever harder with our Gen3 program," said O'Hagan. "I am relishing the challenge of the new season – commencing with the pre-Season 8 test in Valencia next week – and realizing the fruits of our labor after a great team effort over the last six months."
In other staffing news, Gary Reynders, formerly of Williams Advanced Engineering/Jaguar Racing, joins Nio as chief mechanic and Matt Beers becomes race engineer.

my first fashion show thanks to emo jo and twinkle. its the last fashion week at bryant park…next time will be closer to us at lincoln center taking up the space that the big apple circus normally makes its residence for the christmas holidays. me and mom got a seat because we played the baby and mom/woman cards. dad got to stand in the back because nobody gave up their seat for him. sexism is alive and well.
he's over my right shoulder.
the show was quick! i think we waited longer in line where they herded the hoi polloi around. vip's zipped in.
i danced to the funky tunes winning the hearts of the bloggers and the fashion die hards around us. someone wanted to do a story on me but i wasn't going to be around the next day. wah wah. no one had seen a baby at a fashion show before.
my parents take me everywhere.
maybe i'll be a model one day. i look pretty nifty in my get up that emo sue got me. all i have to do is lose some weight.
…..forget it! i like food too much. maybe i'll be a designer instead. or a chef.


PMQs: Was Alastair Campbell Off This Week?
Gordon Brown's bounciness quotient was almost as high at Prime Minister Questions this week as it was last. Cameron was on slightly better form but he chose a scrappy set of questions that didn't gel together.
But today these famed one-liners that Number 10 has been drafting for the PM — reportedly with the assistance of former Blair spinmaster Alastair Campbell — were really not very good.
To a question on renewable energy policy Brown said this of the Tories: "They are all wind and no turbine." This is not very funny.
Some MPs howled regardless with that hollow, forced, braying sound you get in the Commons when people are trying to laugh at an unfunny remark.
Earlier, to Cameron, he said something like: "He has lost his communication skills, but sadly not his powers of speech." Again this is not funny, and when you think about it quite offensive really. Is he saying he wishes Cameron would be afflicted by a stroke?
I cannot believe that a peerless communications expert such as Campbell drafted such rubbishy lines.


Today we want to show you really stunning photos by Julia Kuzmenko McKim. Bright makeup, beautiful models Eugena Washington, Playmate of the year 2016, and Ekaterina Koba – this is the reason of such effect. Just take a look!


Finally! Flo and Bernie are pleased to report that after months of pressing the county council and Network Rail, work has been done to clear the bridge.
A new campaign has been launched by local Liberal Democrats to clean up Cheltenham's air.
This is in light of a new monitoring report for Gloucestershire County Council that showed air quality in the town is unacceptably low.
We are delighted to announce that from Monday 16th October your recycling service will be changing for the better.

Two BS6 BMW G 310 GS prototypes spied testing in India - IAB Report
26/07/2020 - 12:00 | BMW G 310 GS, Spy pictures, Bike news, BMW Motorrad | Utkarsh
BMW Motorrad continues to test the upcoming BS6 G 310 GS in India. After getting spotted for the first time earlier this month, two prototypes of the forthcoming, more eco-friendly dual-sport motorcycle have been spied testing once again on our roads.
The latest spy shots of the BS6 BMW G 310 GS highlight the rear end of the motorbike. They reveal that the new model will feature a slightly revised LED taillamp. The conventional halogen side turn indicators will be replaced by more attractive and sleeker LED units. It can also be seen in the spied images that the exhaust seem to be a bit different from that of the outgoing BS4 BMW G 310 GS. The new unit is missing the chrome bits and has a black finish. Apart from that, no other changes have been implemented at the back of the upcoming motorcycle.
The new BS6 BMW G 310 GS will also come equipped with an updated headlamp. The German company will use a full-LED unit similar to what we have seen in the latest spy pictures of the BS6 BMW G 310 R. The new LED headlamp features a horizontal LED DRL, which reminds us of the recently launched BMW F 900 R, and enhances the ADV's overall visual stance. It appears that BMW Motorrad has also tweaked the body panels of the BS6 G 310 GS to add more masculinity.

Powering the new G 310 GS will be an updated 313cc single-cylinder engine that will comply with the more stringent Bharat Stage 6 emission standards. This revised powerplant is expected to produce similar power (34 PS) and torque (28 Nm) figures as it used to do in its BS4 state of tune. As far as the hardware and other features are concerned, they are likely to be carried forward from the BS4 model without any alterations.

More adidas Yeezy release info has been confirmed straight from the source. Among Kanye West's tweets on August 28th was a photo of two different styles of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 that glow in the dark in two ways. One lights up in a full light green tint, whereas the second version appears in more of a neon orange tone. Upon closer look, the construction of these adidas Yeezys appear to be the "translucent" versions that feature the see-through stripe that runs along the lateral side of the shoe. Still, Kanye doesn't provide any confirmed release date information, but it's good to know that these glow Yeezys are in the pipeline. Which of the two are better?
Update 12/4/18: The GID adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 will release in Spring 2019 with an MSRP of $250 USD.

Q: Clarification on understanding of retracts and deformation retracts I've been trying to get a better intuitive understanding of retracts and deformation retracts. I recently found this answer on Quora, which helped a lot.
I like the intuition in the above link involving thinking of the space $X$ as a city, with a deformation retract $A$ being a park in the city, or something of the like, whilst elements of $X$ are "people". I'm going to ask my question in that context, but if anybody has any better intuition that is also welcome.
For $A$ to be a retract, people in $X$ are allowed to "teleport" to $A$. As long as people who are "close" in $X$ end up "close" in $A$, and people who are already in $A$ stay where they are, we've got a retract. This makes a lot of sense.
For $A$ to be a deformation retract on the other hand, people in $X$ actually have to "walk" to their destination in $A$, in a continuous way (and all the other rules about people in $A$ ending up where they start off must also be obeyed).
If I understand correctly, given a path connected space $X$ (say $T^2$), any point in $X$ is a deformation retract of $X$. In the case of $T^2$, In order for everybody to walk to a point, at least some people who are near to each other at the start must at some point take different paths around the hole in the middle of the $T^2$, so even if they end up near each other (at a point $x$), they have during the process gone away from each other, but this must be OK.
Is my understanding above is correct? Somehow the people "going away from each other" during their "walking" is upsetting me, but I can't really explain why.

A: You're good up to the point where you say that any point is a deformation retract in a path-connected space. This isn't necessarily true. Take the circle $S^1$ for example. It can be shown that the identity is not homotopic to a constant map (which is the same thing as saying that there isn't a deformation retraction onto a point). The "points walking away" example is exactly stating that the retraction isn't continuous if you tried. I see it as having to tear $S^1$ To make the deformation work, but that makes it discontinuous.
This picture of points walking away is useful but unfortunately doesn't work well in a proof. But you can see it nicely in other cases too! Take the disc $D^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. You can see that any retraction from the disc onto it's boundary circle wouldn't be continuous because it would 'tear' a hole somewhere. There are a lot of theorems about this. In fact, a manifold can't retract onto its boundary, and using this you can prove neat results like Brouwer's fixed point theorem.

This Chinese fruit juice stock is going bananas!
by Paul R. La Monica @lamonicabuzz September 1, 2016: 9:49 AM ET
Why am I paying $10 for juice!?
The stock market is not far from its all-time highs. That has some wondering if investors are drinking the proverbial Kool-Aid and ignoring risks.
But a better question might be whether or not investors are drinking the SkyPeople Fruit Juice.
SkyPeople what?
Odds are you probably haven't heard of SkyPeople Fruit Juice (SPU). The company, headquartered in the Chinese city of Xi'an, is puny. Its market value is just $42 million. But SkyPeople Fruit Juice does have shares listed in the U.S. on the Nasdaq.
And it has been one of the hottest stocks on the market. Shares have doubled in the past week and are up more than 135% this year.
So what is SkyPeople Fruit Juice? As the name implies, it makes fruit beverages and concentrates. Apple, pear and kiwi are particularly popular flavors. The company sells Hedetang branded juice -- mostly in China, but also in Mongolia and New Zealand.
The reason for much of the excitement? SkyPeople Fruit Juice announced a few months ago it would be selling a 51% stake in a subsidiary to the Chinese government backed firm Shaanxi New Silk Road Kiwifruit Group.
That's made the stock a favorite plaything of day traders.
The SPU ticker is often one of the top trenders on investing social media site StockTwits.
Shares have been extremely volatile this week though due to a report by a research firm called GeoInvesting, which seemed to suggest that some traders may have been pumping up the stock.
But GeoInvesting later shot off a series of tweets saying that the media was making incorrect assumptions about the firm's research. (And naturally urged people to become paid subscribers to receive premium reports.)
Lots of rumors circulating about our $SPU report. Only members know the content. Get the facts by reading it here: https://t.co/7Z1GE1gBsX
— GeoTeam (@GeoInvesting) August 30, 2016
Media assumptions that our DD on $SPU was negative were incorrect. See our full report here https://t.co/jRA5hu09KI
Our sole purpose of on the ground due diligence in China on $SPU was to make inquiries into potential transaction between SOE & $SPU sub.
So is SkyPeople Fruit Juice (Am I the only one who thinks of Soylent Green when you hear this name? SkyPeople Fruit Juice is people!) the next Minute Maid or Tropicana? Should you sell Coke (KO) and Pepsi (PEP) to buy this stock? Not exactly.
This stock is extremely risky and it seems as if many people are trading it for short-term gains, not investing in it because they think it will become a global beverage giant over the long haul.
It's also worth noting that shares were languishing well below $1 earlier this year before the company did a reverse stock split to push its stock price higher.
In a reverse split, a company cuts the number of its shares in order to prop up the price. It doesn't change the value of the company, but it often allows penny stocks to continue to meet minimum price requirements to stay listed on a major exchange.
What's more, nearly 15% of the company's stock is held by short sellers, investors who bet that a stock is going to head lower. (Although the shorts have been wrong so far, which means they are getting squeezed just like the fruit that goes in to the juice!)
There have also been many instances of accounting problems with small Chinese companies like SkyPeople Fruit Juice. It makes you wonder if the stock is ripe (sorry) for China bear Carson Block of Muddy Waters to take a closer, skeptical look at it.
This is not to say that there's anything fishy going on with SkyPeople Fruit Juice, per se. But the stock still looks more sour than sweet given how far it has run up in such a short period of time.

01Ventures appoints Ton van 't Noordende as new CEO to fast track deep tech investments
by Sharjeel Sohaib
in VC View, Venture Capital
After personally traveling to 36 cities in 10 months, Ton van 't Noordende, the new CEO of 01Ventures realized that 'deep tech' and fundamental emerging technologies are the future of European startups. Having founded e/d/t Global, an independent organization built to facilitate the pioneers in emerging tech, and working as a partner at Keadyn, a Dutch-based seed/early stage venture investment company and B2B enterprise-focused fund, Ton has assumed the role of 01Ventures' CEO. We reached out to Ton to ask him about the investment philosophy of 01Ventures and how he fits into the new role.
What motivates you to join 01Ventures?
"I believe that the venture game is changing – for the better. It's no longer a play that requires solely financial engineering capabilities. It requires in-depth knowledge of the technology at hand and a more diverse skillset in order to be able to add value to the companies on a continuous base.
I've been looking all around the globe to find like-minded partners with diverse backgrounds and have found this in the partnership with the 01V team: our combined experience ranges from engineering and entrepreneurship to more traditional investment management and Global CTO roles."
How do your previous roles at Keadyn VC and e/d/t global help you lead 01Ventures as the new CEO?
"It almost feels like everything I've done in the past 10 years has been leading up towards this role. I greatly benefit from the experience as a startup CEO myself, having experienced firsthand how intricate and complex the whole journey from inception to exit actually is.
Furthermore, my time at Keadyn, and now e/d/t global, has allowed me to build a strong network of forward-thinking innovators which I am able to bring to 01V. In leading any organization it is important to be able to draw on valuable insights from a vast network but never more so than in the emerging and deep technology space."
What is it that 01Ventures will be able to provide to deep tech startups to stay in Europe and not move to the US to seek out investments and growth?
"This challenge is one that we're passionate about and one that is larger than any one player. While we are excited to be a part of the growing pool of investable capital available in Europe, which is a key step to keeping our innovations here, we are more excited to be a part of the new generation of tech-forward investors who bring a fundamental understanding of the technologies and their applications rather than just merely their financial forecast.
By bringing this depth of technical understanding and combining it with our operational experience we believe we represent the new wave of venture capital in Europe which is well positioned to provide US style support here at home."
Tell me about your investment thesis. What do you look for in a company before investing?
01 Ventures intends to invest in companies taking on big global problems with very bold ambitions. From a technology perspective, we are interested in companies who have developed solutions that fit our thesis on the tech trends such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, etc. Beyond that, we are particularly interested in companies where the product over the medium and long term can be applied to multiple sectors/ geographies. Most importantly, we look at the founders and key management. The success of the business will be down to them, and beyond the makeup of the team, we only need to be sure that we (the investor and them) can have a good working relationship.
What are some emerging trends/areas in the deep tech space that Silicon Canals readers should be paying attention to?
"Blockchain and AI are the hottest topics right now, but looking beyond that we are very keen on the trend to do more computing "at the edge" and on the next evolution of human-computer interface."
01Ventures
If we zoom into Europe, what do you think are the existing problems that entrepreneurs should look into (rather than trying to become the next Airbnb and Uber)?
"Europe is a key player in inventing core technologies over the years. We have an amazing R&D and engineering heritage that we can build on. The world is facing several big challenges, which some of these technologies can help with. Founders in Europe should focus on building and applying these technologies, such as AI and blockchain, on big problems.
There is a tendency to apply these powerful technologies to finance or marketing problems, but I'd encourage entrepreneurs to look at other large opportunities in fields like medicine, education, resource management (environment) etc."
What will be 01Venture's approach towards Blockchain startups and specifically ICOs?
"Although we welcome ICOs as an addition to the funding landscape, we are unlikely to invest in an ICO in the current format. However, we are optimistic about the outlook and think with regulation and better structuring, we will be more open to investing then.
More broadly, our view is blockchain is a very promising technology that is in its infancy. We are keen to invest in companies that are evolving the technology beyond its current limitations with a particular interest in its application outside of cryptocurrencies."
What's your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs who are on the lookout for more investment?
"It is important for a founder to begin by considering whether they need venture capital funding. There are many types of funding, and the venture capital is just one category. A founder who sincerely wants to build a business that fits the profile that venture investors look for should approach us.
Beyond this hurdle, it is important to remember we are long-term investors so a founder must be clear in the vision of what they want to build over this longer period. Translating this to the practical, a well thought through short and medium-term plan that is on the path to a big vision is key; think through the key milestones you will achieve with this funding and where the company will be 18-24 months after funding."

Mai 2009 für Aufsehen, als er am Rednerpult des Nationalrats den BZÖ-Abgeordneten Gerald Grosz beschimpfte, indem er sagte: "Sie sind für mich im Sternzeichen ein Krokodil: eine große "Papp'n" und ein kleines Hirn – das muss ich Ihnen einmal sagen." Des Weiteren fiel über Grosz in diesem Zeitraum die Äußerung: "Du bist genau um den Schädel zu klein, wo das Hirn drin sein sollte".
Das BZÖ äußerte daraufhin die Vermutung, dass Faul unter Alkoholeinfluss stand, worauf sich dieser einem freiwilligen Alkoholtest unterzog, welcher 0,0 Promille ergab.

Rücktritt
Beim sogenannten Mulbratlfest in Weiz Ende August 2010 soll Faul wiederum Gerald Grosz beschimpft haben. Als ein Moderator diesen als weiteren Ehrengast ankündigen wollte, soll Faul dem Moderator mit den Worten "Dieses Arschloch wird in Weiz sicher nicht begrüßt" ins Wort gefallen sein. Ebenso soll Faul wenige Tage zuvor während einer Nationalratssitzung einen Fotografen und einen Kameramann des Senders ATV attackiert haben. Die Grünen forderten nach dieser Attacke eine Entschuldigung des SP-Parlamentsklubs, der BZÖ-Mandatar Grosz einen Rücktritt des Abgeordneten.

Nach einem Gespräch zwischen Faul und dem steirischen SPÖ-Landesvorsitzenden Franz Voves kündigte dessen Büro am 31. August 2010 den Rücktritt Fauls vom Nationalratsmandat an. Zusätzlich waren laut Zeitungsberichten anonyme Beschwerden laut geworden, Faul habe als Lehrer Schüler geschlagen. Faul wurde als Kulturreferent im Gemeinderat von Oswin Donnerer abgelöst.

Wechsel zu Stronach
Im September 2012 gab Faul bekannt, aus der SPÖ auszutreten und sich künftig in der neugegründeten Partei von Frank Stronach, dem Team Stronach, zu engagieren. Er ist Mitglied des Landesvorstands im Team Stronach für Steiermark.

For some, the very idea of a shave produces unpleasant thoughts of burning red shaving rashes, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs. This ought not be so - a shave should be free from harshness. It should above all else be a pleasant experience. To tackle razor bumps, we invite you to reconsider your routine - how much time and thoroughness do you allocate to your ritual shave? Once considered, there are a number of tactical maneuvers that can be performed in the pursuit of a better, bump-less shave.
What are Razor Bumps and Burns, and Why Do We Get Them?
Know thy enemy. An ingrown hair is a hair that grows back into the skin, and because of this awkwardness, the surrounding skin becomes inflamed. Generally speaking, in the absence of the proper preventative steps, any areas that you shave are prone to ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Ingrown hairs occur when the hair is cut poorly and it grows back on an angle, failing to penetrate the outer layer of skin. Similarly, the hair may penetrate the outer layer skin, but curl back and dig into adjacent skin. Those with curly hair types are unfortunately more prone to ingrowns by their very nature, whose hair has the natural tendency to curl back into the skin as it grows. Razor burn, on the other hand, is not equivalent to razor bumps, although both may occur in the same instance. Razor burn is a tender rash often caused by a shave which has aggravated the outer layer of skin, leaving an ensuing burning sensation.
The best approach will forever be prevention over treatment. This is principally a good rule to live by.
Firstly, what do you shave with? Our first step in solving these woes is to recommend a double-edge 'safety' razor, standing in contrast to disposable multi-blade cartridge razors. We like the Merkur 34C particularly, our most popular safety razor. The double-edge has persisted since its genesis for good reason, and despite falling out of fashion, it has made a comeback. First, ensuring the razor blade is sharp means that the hair will be cleanly cut, ensuring that it doesn't grow awkwardly back into the skin and cause irritation. When you can feel that the razor is no longer adequately sharp, it probably isn't, and is best disposed of carefully. And opposed to the irritating tugging-and-cutting action of a cartridge razor, a double-edge engages in no such violence due to its single-bladed nature. It is this pulling action of the cartridge razor - hysteresis - that extends the hair beyond its natural state, causing it to curl when it grows back. In contrast, the single bladed nature of the safety razor relies on a sedate cutting action, and when paired with the right blade to suit the nature of your hair and skin, shaving becomes a comfortable, and rather gratifying process. For most individuals, simply swapping to a safety razor is an ample shift in preventing razor bumps and nasty ingrown hairs.
It also holds true to take your time shaving, and proceed with your first pass in the natural direction of hair growth with the grain, especially if you're prone to ingrown hairs. This is because when shaving across or against the grain, whilst providing a closer shave, there is the risk of curling hairs back into the skin.
If you are content with your weapon of choice, or perhaps want extra irritation insurance, a simple hot shower or a steamy hot towel pressed against the face for a few moments softens the hair and the skin underneath, as the porous hair absorbs water and swells, making for an easier cut. A good combo to follow this process is a gentle scrub with an exfoliant, which lifts the hairs whilst sloughing away dead skin. Pay particular scrubbing attention to the neck too, an area particularly prone to razor bumps and shaving rash due to the delicate nature of the skin.
Furthermore, sometimes the problem exists within the contents of the routine itself: is your choice of shaving lubricant providing you with an adequate barrier of protection? It is always more effective to shave wet as opposed to dry without a buffer, for you'd want your razor to glide as opposed to drag and pull - thus causing razor burn. Citrus and menthol-based creams and soaps are challenging for those with sensitive skin, but their invigorating and cooling sensation is unrivalled, acting away at the hair follicles. Santa Maria Novella's Shaving Cream is hard to beat, rich with tingly eucalyptus, menthol and moisturising coconut oil. On the other hand, oil-rich formulations are especially moisturising and provide an excellent buffer. The lanolin-rich nature of Mitchell's Wool Fat Soap makes for a slick, soothing, and hydrating experience. An extra layer of insurance comes in the form of a pre-shave oil or cream, preparing the skin by coating the hairs, adding an additional layer which aids the razor to glide over the face. The thick viscosity of Taylor of Old Bond Street's Sandalwood Pre-Shave provides an effective cushion effect, that can be massaged into the hair and skin in preparation for further lather on top.
Shaving in all of its variant forms is a 'hot' process, and the skin urges for a cooling post-shave. Ingredients with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties such as tea tree oil and/or witch hazel soothes redness and repairs the skin, and is effective for razor rashes and burns. Low concentrations of beta-hydroxy acids (BHA), such as salicylic acid, may also be present as it penetrates below the skin, clearing the hair follicles and preventing any clogging.
And if ingrown hair and razor bump treatment is nevertheless more imminently required, topical 'spot treatment' products with a concentrated combination of acids as their active ingredient work at and unearth ingrown hairs and eradicate those itchy clear white bumps after shaving, which occur due to the inflammation of the hair follicle. Consider Tend Skin's Ingrown Hair Solution. The careful and considerate application of spot treatments are recommended for the removal of ingrown hairs and razor bumps, standing diametrically opposed to tweezing or physically exfoliating the skin, as these processes can be quite painful and run the risk of scarring. Furthermore, depilatory hair removal creams and cortisone treatments are also not recommended as the first course of action for treating razor bumps and ingrowns, as these solutions are often uncomfortable and present possible unwanted side effects.
What does your choice of razor say about you as a person? Read on for an unqualified amateur psychological assessment.

Hi and thank you your interest in Rock Thoughts. My name is Karla Valenti and I am a writer of children's book. I started Rock Thoughts in 2010 with the aim of empowering children through creativity and opportunities for collaboration.
I wanted children to experience the power of their words and their art; to see how their actions and creations, could inspire others – anywhere in the world. I wanted children to feel that they could create a hero – not just in rock form, but in themselves.
Since our launch, we have worked with children, adults, teachers, artists, and storytellers in 18 countries and we have over 2,000 rocks in play. Our rocks have traveled across continents, hiked up volcanoes, and even gone on a Carribean cruise. We've heard from people who found rocks two years after they went out into the wild, people who fell in love with their rocks and decided to keep them by their night stand, and people who have used Rock Thoughts as a resource to promote important ideas on social justice and individual empowerment.
This project is free and open to anyone who wishes to participate. Feel free to contact us for details on how you can get involved.
One final note – I manage this project on my own and in my free time. I do not charge participants, nor do I expect any payment. I do this simply because I think it is an important idea to spread. That said, I humbly take a page out of Amanda Palmer's book (and her remarkable TED talk, "The Art of Asking") and ask that if you like what I am doing here, please consider making a donation to help keep this project going.

MarketWatch First Take: Nvidia is past the downturn, but how strong will the rebound be?
Nvidia Corp. has completely escaped the crypto hangover. The question now is what happens on the other side.
Nvidia projected Thursday that revenue will begin growing again in the current period, after four consecutive quarters of year-over-year declines, but that is mostly because the quarter a year ago was intensely withered by a sudden decline in crypto-mining sales. The revenue forecast called for sales to drop sequentially, was lower than analyst estimates heading into the report, and is well off the highs that Nvidia hit before the downturn began at the end of last year.
Investors certainly seemed to be hoping for more, after sending Nvidia shares up nearly 40% in the past three months on expectations that the high-growth AI powerhouse of early 2018 was set to return. The stock sank more than 1% in after-hours trading Thursday.
Chief Executive Jensen Huang sounded unconcerned and confident, though, in a brief interview with MarketWatch on Thursday afternoon. When asked what could lead to a reinvigoration of Nvidia's revenue growth, Huang stuck to the two talking points that have been his mantra during the past year of financial struggles for the company he co-founded: Ray-tracing and artificial intelligence.
Ray-tracing refers to the new capabilities of Nvidia's videogame technology, but it will be hard for Nvidia to turn that edge into huge revenue gains because it already owns so much of the market for gaming chips. The opportunity for Nvidia to still find large revenue gains rests on AI, specifically advanced data-center sales and autonomous driving.
"It's hard to exactly say how big the AI semiconductor business is, but my guess is it's tens of billions of dollars," Huang said in a telephone chat following Nvidia's conference call.
Full earnings coverage: Nvidia earnings point to end of a year of revenue declines
Data-center sales showed the strongest sequential growth since April 2018 in Thursday's report, and Huang said one reason was a doubling of sales for inference. Building and using deep-learning algorithms requires two stages, training and inference, with training referring to developing the algorithm and inference meaning actual use of the results. Nvidia's specialty has long been training, but it has been trying to find a business in inference as well, which isn't easy when there are so few large customers for that type of technology.
"The number of very large inference customers in the world is probably 10," Hunag admitted. "It's not a handful, but its a couple of handfuls."
Nvidia will need to nail down those customers and keep them buying, along with much more, to get its data-center business back to the reliable revenue growth it was experiencing before the downturn. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said Nvidia had "expectations for strong sequential growth in data center" for the fourth quarter.
Still, Nvidia is likely to run into the problem of expectations potentially running ahead of the results. Even before reporting strong growth in the third quarter and predicting more of the same, analysts were modeling fourth-quarter data-center revenue of $840 million, which would be a quarterly record for Nvidia's data-center segment and require sequential growth to jump from less than 11% to nearly 16%.
See also: The big worries facing stock investors in 2020, according to Citi's top equity strategist
Nvidia's automotive business is still more fantasy than reality at this point. Revenue declined sequentially and failed to top $200 million for the quarter, and Kress admitted that the legacy business of providing chips for infotainment centers within cars is half or more of that total. Huang spoke the truth when he said in the conference call that automotive companies "have slipped [timelines for autonomous vehicles] out a couple of years or so," which pushes Nvidia's opportunity for big returns out as well.
In short, Nvidia is back to where it was before the sudden downfall a year ago: Hoping to maintain its position in videogames and eventually find huge growth in chips for servers and autonomous cars. After suffering through the past year, investors will still have to wait to see exactly when "eventually" arrives, and likely temper their expectations.

Travel and Tourism Has More to Hope Than to Fear
Climate hope. This is the key lesson to be drawn from the first ever Climate Friendly Travel Diploma course launched by SUNx Malta earlier this year. Like many of the participants – and perhaps some of the organisers – I little knew what to expect from the course when I enrolled. I certainly did not imagine the key message to be one of hope.
For this is not the narrative most commonly associated with the Climate debate, where images of a burning planet, natural disasters and a clock ticking towards our inevitably doom abound. Instead, on the course I have learned that a strong post-Covid Travel & Tourism sector could help us achieve our Paris Agreement 2050 targets.
The Climate Friendly Travel Diploma is the brainchild of Professor Geoffrey Lipman, part homage to his friend the late Maurice Strong, architect of the UN Sustainable Development and Climate Framework, and part academic analysis of the Climate debate and its implications on the Travel & Tourism sector. "Clean and green" is how Professor Lipman encapsulates Climate Friendly Travel. Thereby he distinguishes it from other ethical travel movements, such as sustainable, eco- and now regenerative that tend to focus on the more green element of positive tourism. In so doing they ignore the existential nature of Climate Change and its potentially catastrophic impact on both the Travel & Tourism industry, and life on earth. Or, as Professor Lipman puts it, "it's like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic".
From his many years within the industry Professor Lipman has compiled an impressive list of expert lecturers, including Dr Susanne Becken; Professor Ian Yeoman; Felix Dodds, Associate Fellow, Tellus Institute, Boston; Ignace Schops; and Jeff Poole, Senior Vice President Advocacy of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
One student, Pratishtha Parajuli from Nepal, currently living in Canada, believes the "course content is practical and relevant to the current context".
"Each and every lecturer on the course is an expert, engaging and keen to listen to our Tourism-related climate concerns, while providing helpful inputs to aid us to take actions," she says.
The course also provides a wonderful opportunity for us to be part of a network of students from around the globe. 43 people from 30 countries and five continents, have enrolled.
"I believe that I can connect with many people," says Irene Egido, who hails from Spain but is currently living in Malta. She joined to discover more on the subject for an eco-friendly map App she plans to launch. "I am sure they will be happy to be involved in what we can bring to the future with Climate Friendly Travel, and spread the voice and the activities."
Pratishtha agrees about the communal nature of the course.
"It feels great to be a part of the community of like-minded students learning about each other's cultures, the climate and tourism situation," she says.
Sharing our collective experiences we are developing a grassroots movement that is vital if the Climate Friendly Travel movement is to have a loud voice in future debates.
Another of my fellow students, Eric Nsengiyumva, has already put some of the lessons he has learned from the course into action. He has successfully persuaded two hotel owners in his native Rwanda to reduce their carbon emissions and recycle used water from 2021. His success has only fuelled his desire to take further action.
"I expect the course to give me the extra skills needed to be a change driver within travel and tourism communities, and businesses as a future climate-friendly travel leader," he says.
One initiative we are undertaking as a group is to organise the first ever Climate Friendly Travel 'Strong Earth Youth Summit' (SEYS), named after Maurice Strong, on 29 April 2021. We believe this will help create a cadre of climate-friendly travel champions, to ensure the Great Thunbergs of this world will have future allies within the Travel & Tourism sector.
The course is now in recess to be completed next year. I have full confidence that we will continue the momentum already established, and to provide much needed hope not just for the Travel & Tourism sector, but for the planet as a whole.
Mark Bibby Jackson is a student on the Diploma on Climate Friendly Travel run jointly by the Institute for Tourism Studies, Malta, and SUNx Malta, as well as the editor of www.travelbeginsat40.com.


Film star John Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa, and the home in which it happened is open for tours. The simple wood frame, four-room house is where the Hollywood legend entered the world as Marion Morrison on May 26, 1907. He lived here for three years. The house has been restored and maintained as it would have looked in 1907.
During our visit we saw one of the 15 eye patches John Wayne wore in the film True Grit. Others can be found around the U.S. as part of other John Wayne tributes.
In 2010 the Birthplace got its very own statue of John Wayne, seven feet tall, made of bronze. A Wayne family member had commissioned it back in 1981, and after almost thirty years it was given to Winterset and erected outside of the birthplace on what would have been the Duke's 103rd birthday.
The birthplace opened an adjacent John Wayne Museum in 2014. One of its exhibits is Wayne's green Pontiac station wagon, its roof raised six inches to accommodate the Duke, who would drive wearing his cowboy hats.
I-80 Exit 110 (US Hwy 169) south 14 miles into Winterset, where it becomes John Wayne Drive. Stay on John Wayne Drive until you reach South St. Turn left (east) one block. At the corner of John Wayne Drive and Washington St.

Couples today are often on the go. Each of them may have a career they are working on. In addition to that, they may have a hobby that consumes much of their time. Social commitments with friends and relatives are another way their time is eaten up. Even with modern electronic communication, people want to spend time with friends and loved ones. Fitting a relationship into their life may be difficult for many couples.
While they may find it difficult, many couples make the effort to be together. Their dates may be scheduled between other social commitments. Working late hours generally take a toll on relationships, but modern couples have found ways to stay together. Bringing dinner to the office or arranging a date at a local restaurant near work is sometimes the best way to enjoy life as a couple. No matter what keeps them apart, a couple in a committed relationship will find a way to spend quality time with each other.
