Golden Globes Winners 2018: The Complete List
LOS ANGELES — Host Seth Meyers came out swinging at the Golden Globes Sunday night, directly addressing in his monologue the issues of sexual harassment and gender inequality that have roiled the industry for months. He lobbed hard-hitting jokes at Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen and, of course, President Donald Trump. Meyers also acknowledged the awkwardness of a straight white male hosting the show on this particular night. He ended the monologue on a sincere note, "People in this room worked really hard to get here, but it's clearer now than ever before that the women had to work even harder. So thank you for all the a...
Harare water unsafe to drink, due to chemical shortage
The mayor of Harare says a shortage of chemicals has resulted in unsafe water being pumped into residents' homes for consumption in the Zimbabwean capital. Bernard Manyenyeni told The Herald newspaper: "Our claims that the water is chemically safe to drink will not hold if residents cannot stand the sight of frothing or foaming coloured water. "This has been caused by the shortage of our main chemicals — aluminium sulphate' sulphuric acid' HTH Chlorine and activated carbon." He explained that most chemicals were imported "and we have been caught in the crisis of forex". Borehole water in some Harare suburbs was recently condemn...
Countries around the world celebrating start of 2018
In the heart of Berlin, fireworks are igniting the night sky behind the Brandenburg Gate. Similar celebrations are taking place across Germany, including Cologne, Hamburg and Munich. The Chancellor of the Free World, Angela Merkel used her televised speech ahead of the festivities to call for Germans to be more considerate to each other in 2018. The chancellor said that consideration means "paying attention, truly listening, and showing understanding for others." In France, President Emmanuel Macron asked French citizens in his televised address to support his ambitions for reforming the European Union (EU). "I need your determina...
UNICEF: 2017 was one of the worst years for children caught in conflicts
Warring parties in 2017 had a blatant disregarded for international law when it came to the protection of children, an official from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Wednesday. A UNICEF report found that in conflict-ridden regions across the world, high numbers of children had been killed, used as human shields and recruited to fight. "Children are being targeted and exposed to attacks and brutal violence in their homes, schools and playgrounds," Manuel Fontaine, UNICEF's director of emergency programs, said. "As these attacks continue year after year, we cannot become numb. Such brutality cannot be the new normal....
Described as "a wild original", and hailed as the ninth-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema, Maria Magdalene Dietrich would have been 116 on Wednesday. In her honor, Google is changing its logo in 24 countries to a doodle. During World War II, Dietrich was a high-profile entertainer in the US and was also noted for housing German and French exiles, providing financial support and advocating for their US citizenship.

Pope Francis calls for two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis used his Christmas message on Monday to call for a negotiated two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, after U.S. President Donald Trump stoked regional tensions with his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Francis spoke of the Middle East conflict and other world flashpoints in his "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) address, four days after more than 120 countries backed a U.N. resolution urging the United States to reverse its decision on Jerusalem. "Let us pray that the will to resume dialogue may prevail between the parties and that a negotiated solution c...
Pope Francis equates the story of Joseph and Mary to the current refugee crisis
Pope Francis strongly defended immigrants at his Christmas Eve Mass at St Peter's Basilica on Sunday. , comparing them to Mary and Joseph finding no place to stay in Bethlehem and saying faith demands that foreigners be welcomed and the respect for migrants is an integral part of Christianity. Today's refugees are fleeing their homes just as Joseph and Mary did in biblical times, Pope Francis said.

Zimbabweans of European Origin Return to Seized Land
RUSAPE, Zimbabwe (Reuters) - The last time farmer Rob Smart left his land it was at gunpoint, forced out in June by riot police armed with tear gas and AK-47 assault rifles. He returned on Thursday to ululations and tears of joy from former workers and their families who were also kicked out - a jubilant return and the first sign that the president who has replaced Robert Mugabe is making good on a vow to stop illegal land seizures and restore property rights. Scores of jubilant black Zimbabweans nearly knocked the 71-year-old off his feet as he and his two children stepped out of their car and onto their land for the first time in s...
UN decides to mark Nelson Mandela's 100th birthday with peace summit
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. General Assembly has decided to mark the 100th anniversary of Nelson Mandela's birth by holding a high-level meeting focusing on world peace ahead of the annual gathering of world leaders in September 2018. A resolution adopted Friday without a vote says the "Nelson Mandela Peace Summit" will include speeches by top U.N. officials, the chair of the African Union Commission and member states. The resolution recalls the South African anti-apartheid leader's dedication to promoting conflict resolution, race relations, human rights, reconciliation and gender equality. In 2009, the General Assembly established...
Highly-skilled foreign workers favor Canada, not the U.S.
Petra Axolotl knew her chances of getting an H-1B visa were slim. She had an MBA from Wharton and a job offer at Twitter, but luck would decide the Dutch data scientist's fate – and in 2016, it did not fall in her Favor. Axolotl missed out in the lottery for the coveted visa but remained determined to work in Silicon Valley, a place she considered the global capital of tech innovation. The plan was to reapply this year. Then Donald Trump became president, and she prepared to move somewhere else – Canada. Unlike many liberal-leaning technology workers in Silicon Valley, Axolotl doesn't consider herself "anti-Trump." But the new a...
Brexit: Majority of Britons don't want to leave the EU
As Prime Minister Theresa May enters the second phase of Brexit negotiations, a poll commissioned by UK daily The Independent shows that more than half of Britons want to remain in the European Union. A poll conducted by the BMG Research group for UK newspaper The Independent shows that 10 percent more Britons want to remain in the European Union. BMG Research asked 1,509 adults living in Britain from December 5-8, "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union, or leave the European Union?" Of the respondents, 51 percent backed "remain," while 41 percent voted "leave." Seven percent said "don't know," and when ...
Zimbabwe May Recoup Millions of Dollars in Diamonds Kept in Britain
President Emmerson Mnangagwa could recoup millions of dollars in diamond proceeds that were siphoned to London if he mends Zimbabwe's relations with Britain. Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa said Mnangagwa would spearhead the mending of political relations with the regional and international communities. "Zimbabwe remains committed to the values of SADC, the African Union, the United Nations and other international fora where it retains membership, as well as all its bilateral cooperation obligations with various Nations, groupings and institutions," Chinamasa said in his budget speech.

Obama urges voters to protect democracy, complacency could lead to fascism
Many US right wing commentators have hit out at former President Barack Obama after he evoked Nazi Germany in a bid to encourage voters to remain vigilant and protect democracy. "We get complacent and assume that things continue as they have been, just automatically, and they don't," Obama said in comments to the Economic Club of Chicago earlier this week.
"You have to tend to this garden of democracy - otherwise, things can fall apart fairly quickly. And we've seen societies where that happens," he added, referring to the late 1920 and 1930s. "Now, presume there was a ballroom here in Vienna in the late 1920s or 30s t...
Paris climate accord: Obama promises US remains on track, thanks to the action of some states
PARIS (Reuters) - Former President Barack Obama lamented the lack of U.S. leadership in the fight against climate change during a visit to Paris on Saturday, in a veiled rebuke of his Republican successor's decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord. Speaking at an invitation-only event organized by a network of communications professionals known as the Napoleons, Obama did not mention President Donald Trump, who announced his withdrawal from the landmark global deal in June. "I grant you that at the moment we have a temporary absence of American leadership on the issue," Obama said, to laughter in the audience packed with Fren...
A jury has found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate not guilty
San Francisco — A jury has found Jose Ines Garcia Zarate not guilty in the July 2015 death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco. He was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Garcia Zarate, a Mexican citizen and undocumented immigrant, had been deported from the United States five times prior to Steinle's death. The shooting came in the middle of the presidential campaign in July 2015 and touched off a fierce debate over the country's immigration policies. It spotlighted San Francisco's "sanctuary city" policy, which limits local officials from cooperating with U.S. immigration authorities. Politics, however, did not c...
Historic Wrong: Tearful Justin Trudeau Apologizes to First Nations People
The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized to First Nations people in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador for abuse at assimilation-oriented schools. The system of boarding schools operated until 1980. Trudeau issued a sweeping apology on Friday to the indigenous people of Newfoundland and Labrador province for abuses suffered at assimilation-focused boarding schools throughout the 20th century. "We are here today to acknowledge an historic wrong," a visibly emotional Trudeau said, asking forgiveness for the "physical, psychological and sexual abuse," that occurred at the five schools in the province which only s...
A homeless man receives more than $325,000 in charitable pledges for his generosity
(Reuters) - A homeless man who spent his last $20 on a New Jersey woman whose car ran out of gas has received more than $325,000 in charitable pledges after she started a fund-raising drive to reward him for his generosity. Kate McClure, 27, launched a page on GoFundMe.com that had raised $325,420 for the man, Johnny Bobbitt Jr., as of Friday afternoon. The number was rising steadily throughout the day. Bobbitt describes himself as a 34-year-old former U.S. Marine and paramedic who has been homeless for about a year, according to NJ.com, the website whose story on the encounter helped spark the fundraising interest. McClure said o...
South Africa's Supreme Court increased Oscar Pistorius' murder sentence to 13 years and five months
JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's Supreme Court increased Oscar Pistorius' murder sentence on Friday to 13 years and five months after the state argued that his original sentence of six years was "shockingly lenient". Pistorius was imprisoned in July last year after being found guilty on appeal of murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013 in a case that attracted worldwide interest. The athlete was not in court for Friday's ruling where the court handed down the minimum 15-year sentence prescribed for murder in South Africa, and subtracted the years Pistorius had already served. "The sentence imposed... in...
Uber paid hackers $100,000 to keep secret a massive breach
(Reuters) - Uber Technologies Inc paid hackers $100,000 to keep secret a massive breach last year that exposed the personal information of about 57 million accounts of the ride-service provider, the company said on Tuesday. Discovery of the U.S. company's cover-up of the incident resulted in the firing of two employees responsible for its response to the hack, said Dara Khosrowshahi, who replaced co-founder Travis Kalanick as CEO in August. "None of this should have happened, and I will not make excuses for it," Khosrowshahi said in a blog post. The breach occurred in October 2016 but Khosrowshahi said he had only recently learned...
Mafia 'boss of bosses' Salvatore 'Toto' Riina dead
MILAN (Reuters) - Salvatore "Toto" Riina, the most powerful and feared Sicilian Mafia boss of the 20th century, died of natural causes early on Friday after almost a quarter century in jail, Italy's Justice Ministry said. Riina, who turned 87 on Thursday, died in the prison ward of a hospital in Parma, the northern Italy city where he had been serving 26 life sentences for dozens of murders committed between 1969 and 1992. Nicknamed "the Beast", ?Riina began his violent criminal career on the dusty streets of Corleone after World War Two and became the Sicilian Mafia's boss of bosses when it reached its 20th century apex. Riina ov...
Women Who Use 'IUDs' Have a Lower Risk of Cervical Cancer
Women who use intrauterine devices (IUDs) for contraception might have a lower risk of cervical cancer than their counterparts who don't use this form of birth control, a recent study suggests. Researchers examined data from 16 previously published studies with a total 4,945 women who had cervical cancer and 7,537 women who didn't. Overall, they found women who used an IUD were 36% less likely to get cervical cancer than women who didn't use them.

Science: Sheep Can Recognize Human Faces
LONDON (Reuters) - Sheep have been trained to recognize the faces of celebrities, including former U.S. President Barack Obama, by University of Cambridge scientists who hope it may help with understanding neurodegenerative diseases. In a specially equipped pen, sheep were shown pictures of people on two computer screens, on one side would be an unknown person and on the other would be one of four celebrities. The animal would receive a reward of food for choosing the photograph of the celebrity by breaking an infrared beam near the screen displaying it. If they chose the wrong photograph, a buzzer would sound and they would receive ...
North Korea: Impact of Sanctions on Women and Children
GENEVA (Reuters) - North Korea said on Wednesday it was working to uphold women's rights and gender equality but that sanctions imposed by major powers were taking a toll on vulnerable families. Han Tae Song, ambassador of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the United Nations in Geneva, also urged South Korea to return 12 waitresses "kidnapped" while working in China in April 2016, calling it a "crime against humanity". Seoul has said the 12 women and one man had chosen to defect to the South. U.S. President Donald Trump arrived earlier in the day in China seeking help to rein in North Korea, telling the reclusive...
Agatha Christie, 'Queen of Crime,' is Returning to the Big Screen
LONDON (Reuters) - Agatha Christie, the author dubbed the 'Queen of Crime,' is returning to the big screen after a decades-long absence with an adaptation of "Murder on the Orient Express," directed by Kenneth Brannagh. Starring Brannagh as eccentric detective Hercule Poirot, the film premiered in London on Thursday and features a star-studded cast, including Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and "The Force Awakens" star Daisy Ridley. "Previous film versions have been romps and they've been wonderful, but it felt like with this group of actors it could get a little more dark and a little more emotional, and surprise and dive...

Big data in the time of a pandemic – World
Zeba Siddiqui, Francis Rathinam
With a significant number of active cases globally, the novel coronavirus represents an extreme public health challenge. The outbreak of the pandemic has led to stringent travel restrictions, making data collection a highly challenging task for the development research community.
Traditional methods of data collection which require field visits can be risky during these times. In this context, if appropriate privacy and ethical safeguards are in place, then big data is both relevant and useful, now more than ever. For example, Global Positioning System coordinates obtained from cell phone records can be useful in tracking people's movements. During the pandemic, there is immense potential for using this data to predict hotspots and arrest the spread of the virus. As another example, sentiment analysis through the mining of social media data might be able to provide useful insights to help design appropriate health messaging for the public.
A new CEDIL-supported systematic map that was developed by 3ie draws together a unique and comprehensive collection of studies which use big data to measure or evaluate development outcomes. The map covers impact evaluations that use big data to evaluate development outcomes, systematic reviews of big data impact evaluations and other measurement studies that innovatively used big data to measure and validate any development outcomes. This blog is an attempt to highlight the role big data can play in solving challenges related to public health issues. We provide a snapshot of our gap map findings and then discuss the potential use of big data in the field of health.
What did the map find about big data and health outcomes?
Out of the 437 studies included in the map, 63 examined health-related development outcomes. Twenty-eight studies looked at interventions which sought to reduce mortality, and there were another 28 that evaluated interventions which aimed to end the epidemic of a communicable disease. There is, however, an absence of impact evaluations that measured the impact of an epidemic outbreak, both in smaller units like districts and larger units like a state or country.
Satellite data was used in 29 studies and was the most frequently used source of big data. For example, one of the included studies examined the coverage of measles outbreak vaccines in Niger. The study merged satellite derived measurements of population distribution with high resolution measles cases reported in the country. This was closely followed by cell phone call detail record (CDR), which was used in 27 studies. A study in Haiti aimed to assess whether CDR could predict early spatial evolution of the cholera epidemic. Furthermore, findings from our map show that the largest number of big data studies related to epidemics have been conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the fewest in the Middle East and North Africa.
The map highlights a significant evidence gap when it comes to studies related to epidemics in fragile contexts. In terms of the overall evidence gaps in other health outcomes, fatalities due to road accidents, substance abuse and sexual and reproductive health services have seldom been studied.
Big data and COVID-19
With the exponential rise in the number of coronavirus cases, big data has the potential to help detect outbreaks. Bringing together data from a variety of sources, we can be using algorithms to analyse health records and trace the contact history of patients to help identify patterns of virus spread. These applications may be able to demarcate not just current zones with high number of cases but also help in predicting future outbreaks with the help of movement and contact tracing. One artificial intelligence technique called Natural Language Processing (NLP) deserves mention here. By analysing regular human interactions in the form of text and speech, NLP can help attribute more meaning to human communication. It can be used to scan social media links and online news reports, potentially raise an alarm when there are any new COVID-19 related developments in the world. NLP and other big data techniques may also be used in incident detection so that in the future, such health emergencies are tackled promptly. Despite significant advances in recent years, these technologies are still new and many implementation challenges such as information overload and data ambiguities, remain.
Many countries across the world are trying to blunt the pandemic curve with the help of smartphone applications (see table listing examples of mobile-based applications). These applications monitor people's movement in order to trace whether they are in high-risk places or have come in contact with high-risk people.
The rising use of big data has however raised ethical concerns and posed legal challenges. These mobile phone applications have access to a significant amount of personal information. Ethical issues include compromised privacy, lack of personal autonomy and public demand for transparency and fairness while employing big data. It is therefore very important to carefully consider and implement data privacy policies while using big data.
Despite the privacy challenges, big data has a promising future in the health sector. As travel restrictions persist in many countries, there may be more and more opportunities for using big data to compensate for the lack of in-person data collection. However, to make that happen, financial investments are required. If organisations working in the area of health want to utilize big data, they would need to invest in the necessary technology, infrastructure and staff training. They would need smartphone applications with robust privacy protection and the necessary computing infrastructure for safely working with large amounts of data. Quite importantly, they would need to train staff in data analysis techniques. In order to explore the potential of big data in healthcare, a more systematic evaluation of the available methodologies by the research community is needed. Given the current public health crisis, it will be useful to see if big data can be employed to predict any disease outbreaks in the future.

Apple on Monday shipped updates to plug more than two dozen security holes in its version of Java, including a particularly dangerous flaw that Java maker Sun patched back in early December.
Last month, Security Fix and others took Apple to task for taking too long to fix Java vulnerabilities. In fact, I found that Apple patches Java flaws on average about six months after Sun had shipped its own updates to fix the same vulnerabilities. At least two different researchers even released proof-of-concept exploits to shame Apple into quickly fixing an easy-to-exploit vulnerability that potential attackers had known about for six months.
This Java update appears to address most of the outstanding Java vulnerabilities. From looking at the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) numbers attached to each of the flaws fixed by Apple's Java rollup, it looks like this update brings Mac OS X systems to the equivalent of Java 6 Update 13 (Sun recently released Update 14, but there don't appear to be any security related fixes in that bundle).
Mac users can grab the latest Java version via Software Update or directly from Apple's Software Downloads Web site.
When I tried to install this patch on my MacBook this morning, I got a "cannot download the update" message. When I tried to intall it on my brand new (and I mean brand new) iMac, it froze up the preference panel and I had to do a hard reboot. I've NEVER had a problem downloading an update on a Mac. Any thoughts?
So, uh, Brian - how many of the 75M or so OS X users were affected by the dire and evil script kiddies who were able to use this Java hack?
Hi Eideard -- I don't know. And I doubt if any of them were affected, that they'd know either.
How about letting BK respond to your legitimate question before inserting your wiseacre response?
I also got an error on an attempt of installation, until I realized that Java is an integral program on the Mac.
I simply shutdown all software programs not essential to the Java installation. It seems that the main culprit was the browser, Firefox in this case.
I initiated a software update and the update installed with no errors. I still reboot my Mac like I used to do Windows, just for good measure.
Hope this helps anyone else faced with the error message.
This was a first for me: an Apple update that would not install despite all browsers being closed as per installation instructions. An error report was generated instead. Re-booting the computer and immediately doing the install seemed to remedy the situation.
I also initially had an error on installing this update this morning. Curious, usually updates go smoothly, so I looked at the description and noticed the part that tells the user to quit all web browsers (I had both Safari and Firefox running at the time). I quit the browsers and tried again - same error. Confused, I quit Software Update, figuring it cached something. Started SU again - success!
Bottom line - make sure to quit all browsers before running the update!
I've read on /. that there was a permissions problem in the initial fix provided by Apple that caused the install of the patch to fail.
Rebooting my Macbook Air and my wife's Macbook after receiving the error the first time fixed the issue. Apparently rebooting somehow forces the machines to download the patch a second time and install cleanly.
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 delivers improved reliability, security, and compatibility for Java SE 6, J2SE 5.0 and J2SE 1.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.7 and later. This release updates Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_13, J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_19, and J2SE 1.4.2 to 1.4.2_21.
Please quit all web browsers before installing this update.
As reported by others, even though all applications were shutdown, I had to reboot before the installation would work... Also a first for me.
And those simple instructions were followed.


Nclüdr is the new coolest social network where you can have over 6,000,000 friends. Nclüdr is far superior to facebook and Myspace so cancel your accounts and join the only social network that matters.
I could go on and on about how great of a social network Nclüdr is but the truth is it is one big joke. Nclüdr is a parody site making fun of facebook. Nclüdr does a flawless job at copying the facebook format with the almost completely identical interface design in yellow and even joke applications such as: avatars aren't really real, be a call center worker, my dad can beat up your dad, meet your imaginary love, and more. You can create your profile by answering some unusual and funny questions which have some funny options to choose from. Nclüdr then generates you profile which includes the traditional categories relationship status, politic views, etc… along with a list of 12 billion friends such as: Ike Turner, Mr. Right, Your Ex, Chuck Norris, and Mary "Pop-N- Lock" Poppins. Nclüdr is very thorough, all of your friends have profiles and an equally absurd gigantic list of friends. Nclüdr's FAQ section is quite comical and there are even quotes from some on the networks fabulous users such as Paris Hilton and Bert from Sesame Street. Nclüdr is a detailed fun site where you can go to get some laughs.
"Tired of only having 60, 100, 200 friends? Nclüdr is the most awesomest ultimate social network ever.
Quite honestly Nclüdr may be one of the most detailed well thought out parody sites I have seen. Almost every detail of Nclüdr is identical in design to facebook. The creators of Nclüdr are quite creative with the application names and the quotes from the celerity users. I especially appreciate the applications section because I can't stand all of the useless applications people add on facebook. Even the fake ads on the site are hilarious. Nclüdr does a good job at making users laugh and realize that social networks are for fun not survival.
Nclüdr could get ridiculously thorough and add funny YouTube videos to people's profiles and other facebook functions such as the wall. It could be fun if users could comment on the groups and on the profiles of other users. Maybe Nclüdr could have a forum of some sort.


14th February 2015. We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to our supporters, SavingSpecies has fully funded our Colombia Cloud Forest Restoration Project. This project was initiated for a rare mammal, the olinguito, only just discovered in 2013, the first new carnivore to be scientifically described in 30 years.
15th August, 2014. We are delighted that a series of 2014 lectures–10 hours worth–by biology superstar E.O. Wilson is now available to the general public! Recorded at Duke University earlier this year, the lectures are invaluable to any who care about the future of biodiversity and how human beings help save it.
1st July, 2014. Nelson Mandela once said that "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." We could not agree more. Only by providing all young people with core scientific knowledge about the interconnectedness of all life on earth, can humanity reverse the extinction crisis, stave off global warming, or restore polluted waters and degraded lands.
29th May, 2014. A new scientific paper was published today in the prestigious journal Science and it has important findings for biodiversity. Though it reaffirms what we already know—that there is a global extinction crisis and it is worse than we believed—it also details how technology—and smart decision-making—are offering hope for endangered species and their habitats.

"The focus of the partnership is to build strong relationships with diverse BAME LGBT communities that will support the development of both local and national campaigning efforts of issues affecting these groups,"Stonewall said in a press release.
The decision was made after research last year revealed queer BAME people faced a disproportionate amount of discrimination, both from outside and within the LGBT+ community.
"The work will focus on building strong relationships and supporting the development of local and national campaigning. It will also support the organisation and running of UK Black Pride, Britain's largest event for BAME LGBT people,"said UK Black Pride founder Lady Phyll Opoku-Gyimah and Stonewall chief executive Ruth Hunt in a joint statement.
"We know that BAME LGBT people are disproportionately affected by homophobic, biphobic and transphobic discrimination.

Macworld reviews Apple Watch Series 3: The wearable leader runs out to an insurmountable lead
Friday, October 6, 2017 11:27 am Friday, October 6, 2017 11 Comments
"Apple Watch Series 3 has relieved my Forgotten Phone Anxiety," Michael Simon writes for Macworld. "You know the feeling: You reach your destination and paw at the outside of your pocket to feel the phone-sized lump and it isn't there. And you panic."
"With an LTE-equipped Apple Watch Series 3 on my wrist, I don't need to turn around and head back to my house. I know that if someone is trying to get in touch with me, they can, and if an urgent email comes in, I can answer it," Simon writes. "That being said, I didn't need more than a couple days with my LTE-equipped Apple Watch Series 3 to see that it's not meant to be away from an iPhone for very long. Its main selling point might be independence, but it's still a generation or two away from being a full replacement for your iPhone."
MacDailyNews Take: Apple Watch will never be a full replacement for your iPhone due to its display size limitation. Period. Full stop.
Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular). The freedom to go with just your Apple Watch.
"Along with LTE, there's also a new S3 processor and W2 wireless chips, which give the Series 3 Apple Watch a tremendous speed boost," Simon writes. "Navigation and animations are much smoother now, but most importantly, apps open much quicker. The speed of third-party apps was a pretty major pain point with previous generations of Apple Watch (particularly the original model, which most people will be upgrading from), and the new internals make a huge difference."
Much more in the full review here.
MacDailyNews Take: All of Apple Watch's so-called "competitors" are laughably overmatched.

I just wish I could get my hands on one. 3-4 lead time!!!? Again?!
Friday, October 6, 2017 at 12:03 pm
I have a series 1. Did not feel the need to upgrade as I don't really need the LTE.
Series 1 was fine. Nevertheless I decided to get a new Series 3 w/o LTE . Honestly doesn't seem any different with the exception of battery life which is now super long.
Mine gets here Monday. So excited! I've been using my new AirPods for a couple days now.
Apple Watch + Apple Music + AirPods = the "wireless streaming iPod" experience I once could only dream about. But it's on my wrist! No phone in my pocket, no tangled cords getting caught and yanking my head or flinging my iPhone when running or at the gym. These three products have converged into a simple yet fashionable solution only Apple can provide. And they're pretty damn affordable, all things considered.
"You know the feeling: You reach your destination and paw at the outside of your pocket to feel the phone-sized lump and it isn't there."
No, I don't know the feeling. I'm not that stupid.
Forgetting my phone is enomously less likely than forgetting to put pants on.
All I want is a 3rd-party version of the new Sport Loop for my series 1 (no way am I paying $50 for it).
They will be on Amazon soon at half the cost, I'm sure.
Monday, October 9, 2017 at 1:14 pm
I'll bite at 1/5 the cost. I bought a black Milanese loop last year for about $15 on Amazon, Apple charges $200.
Voice is more or less dead, unless you really need it or you are a dinosaur, as everybody now uses text, etc. Plus, the bastard telecoms charge you for the pleasure of calling on the watch. F That.
Had my new AppleWatch 3 for a week. Just love it. Now doing the carrier change to get LTE support. Carriers that don't support it are Golding to lose a lot of contracts.
Love my series 3 cellular. I always knew I was getting one, and series 3 seems like the REAL starting point. Thank all you benevolent souls who beta tested series 0-2 for me.

In 1973, The Summit Resort Hotel in Sint Maarten opened its doors for the first time. Since then, this incredible Sint Maarten hotel has seen guests continuously return because of the setting, service, and staff. This is why we named it Best in Service in Maho Bay 2014. There is no better testament to quality then when guests return decade after decade, not just year after year.
The Summit is an Anti-Fuss hidden gem.
Quiet and ideal certainly describe the property and the rooms. You will find it reminiscent of a boutique hotel, and the accommodations are more like an apartment than a hotel room: with kitchen, seating area, and balcony. Coupled with daily housekeeping, WIFI, and air conditioning, you will be left wanting for nothing.
Affordable and straightforward underline the stay. As opposed to spa services you will have idyllic views and walking paths for rejuvenation. Splurge on a poolside drink as you read your book, or enjoy the ocean breeze from Simpson Bay as you relax on your balcony.
This is a laid-back hotel, where quiet and amity reign, new friends are easily found, and relaxing is second-nature.
The Summit Resort Hotel has a location envied by most. Sitting high on a bluff, the views are some of the best in the Caribbean. Glimpses of Anguilla are spied across the ocean waters, and tropical rolling hills embrace the property; the landscape is simply breathtaking.
But, the location offers even more than the jaw-dropping views, it is the perfect perch for exploring Sint Maarten. Within easy walking distance is Mullet Bay Beach, Maho, and Atlantis Casino, where 11 restaurants and fun entertainment awaits. A few minutes by car will bring you to Simpson Bay, shopping, nightlife, more beaches, and tons of activities.
Capable and friendly defines the service at this top recommended Maho Bay hotel. What's unique about the team is that many of the key staff members have a history as rich with the hotel, as they do with the island. For example, the head housekeeper has been with The Summit Resort Hotel since it first opened its doors in 1973. Her own daughter, and now the General Manager, was actually born in the hotel! We firmly believe that it is the staff that gives heart to a hotel, and this couldn't be more true than at The Summit Resort Hotel.
In this case "Family Run" isn't just the owners, it's this loyal team too. It is apparent thoughout the resort that the owner and staff want you to love the island, as much as they do. The continuous return of guests is evidence of the care and commitment extended by the staff.
$40 per person, per night in honor of The Summit's 40th Anniversary.
*Minimum 2 people per room.
*Plus tax and service. See their Official Website for full details.
Complimentary WIFI, fully equipped kitchens, electronic safe, seating areas, air conditioning, ceiling fan, iron and board, private balcony, and flat screen televisions are all standard. The rooms also include a dishwasher! Eating in without the work is a great way to extend a budget even further.
Not only will you have a fully equipped kitchen, biodegradable toiletries, a king sized bed, and queen sized pull-out sofa, but you will have breathtaking views all the way to Anguilla. The spacious interior continues outdoors, onto your private balcony.
The deluxe is very smilar to the Premium Water View, but with a few added extras. These rooms are set back on the property, offering a bit more privacy and quiet. The views extend past Simpson Bay, and also include hills of both Dutch and French sides of the island.
Again, the garden view rooms offer the same amenities as the Premium and Deluxe, but with views of the garden areas.
Families or small groups should take advantage of the villa. With full kitchen, dining for six, two bedrooms, a pull out sofa, and ample space, this is a great way to enjoy your vacation together.
The Summit Hotel Resort is well situated within easy access to many of St Maartens acclaimed activities. Beaches, butterfly farm, shopping, nightlife, sailing charters, boat rentals, deep sea fishing, golf, restaurants, horseback riding, water sports, and scuba / snorkel excursions are all close by. It is highly recommended to rent a car to take advantage of the island and its variety of activities.
The hotel has a pool overlooking Simpson Bay, the perfect place to relax. Walking paths beckon you off the lounge chairs and discovering the very private property.
The Summit has an open air restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as drinks for lazy days by the pool and stargazing at night.
Close to the hotel are 11 restaurants within a five minute walk, at the Atlantis Casino. Here you will find an array of options, from snack bar to high end gourmet. There is a restaurant for every day of the year in St. Maarten, and deciding on which one can be overwhelming. If you need some direction on which to choose, simply speak with any staff member at The Summit Resort Hotel, they will point you in the right direction.
For more information or to Book your stay visit The Summit's official website!

Making headway against malaria in Africa
Malaria programs in sub-Saharan Africa are making progress by using insecticide-treated nets, diagnostic testing and Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy.
Malaria programs in sub-Saharan Africa are making some remarkable progress. For instance, the rate of malaria among Tanzanian children between the ages of six months and five years old was cut in half from 2008 to 2012, according to recent research unveiled at the Tanzania Malaria Control Forum in Dar es Salaam. The island of Zanzibar has also achieved significant improvement. Between 2002 and 2005, fatalities in children aged one through four decreased by 71%; in infants younger than one year old, fatalities dropped by 33%.
Visit the Novartis Malaria Initiative website to learn more
In addition, Eritrea, Rwanda, Kenya and Zambia reported reduction rates of up to 50% in the amount of malaria cases and malaria related deaths, according to the Malaria Journal.
These successes have been credited to fighting malaria on several fronts, including scaling up bed nets, diagnostic testing, treatment and surveillance. This integrated strategy is part of the WHO's "Test. Treat. Track" strategy. Increased accessibility to Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy has been instrumental in helping to manage the burden of malaria. In Tanzania, more than 17 million insecticide-treated nets have been distributed to prevent people from being bitten by nocturnal mosquitoes while they are sleeping. The east African nation was also the first country to pilot and roll out SMS for Life, an award-winning program that utilizes SMS messages and electronic mapping technology to ensure accurate stock counts of malaria medications in public health facilities in rural areas. By enabling efficient stock management using mobile technology, it's possible to greatly reduce stock-outs caused by inventory management challenges.
In Kenya, employer-based bednet programs reduced the amount of malaria cases in some regions by more than 80% and lowered the rate of hospital admissions by nearly 90%. Zambia reduced malaria deaths by half between 2000 and 2010 and 89% of pregnant women in the country received a minimum of one dose of preventive medication.
Despite these successes, lack of funding for sustainable programs still limits achievement of the Millennium Development Goals for malaria. The World Health Organization states that USD 5.1 billion in annual funding is necessary for malaria intervention programs, but only USD 2.3 billion is available. Despite this daunting gap in funding, many organizations are still trying to move malaria treatment and prevention programs forward.
Since 2003, the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development has been working with key stakeholders in Tanzania to improve access to quality healthcare, particularly for malaria, focusing on aligning patient needs and expectations with the healthcare system's services and providers. The Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases (NITD) in Singapore conducts research to develop next generation malaria therapies. By taking preventive measures and having access to effective medications, African countries can continue to make progress toward malaria elimination.

With the continuous education I get from the WHA course, I am looking forward to informing and protecting my family and friends from the vicious pharmaceutical circle of disease. I would also like to approach people who did not yet have a chance to hear these important things about health, and remind them that they are responsible for their own bodies and health.
I am very glad to be involved with the Cyprus WHA team, because we have already awakened and informed many community groups and shared a great deal of life-saving information with the public. Through using the knowledge provided by Cellular Medicine, many Cypriots have improved their health.
My personal ambition is to reach all social classes, in order to change the fundamental nature of health education. I hope this team will grow bigger and bigger during the next years, reaching everybody around the world and giving all people an opportunity to improve their health.

Beware furniture that seems to Choose the best Lorentzen Patio Sectional with Cushions low-cost. It is always great to get a good deal, although not at the expect of quality involving construction. You will spend more money frequently changing cheaply made furniture than you will if you had spent a little more on a top quality piece in the beginning. Understand different wooden types when buying furniture in order to your own budget. Furniture made from solid wood would be the most expensive and last the greatest. Veneered wood will be less expensive, but may have lower quality wood under the veneer. Particle board and composites, that happen to be made from wood pulp and binders, will be the least expensive but also the least sturdy. When you are getting new furniture, seek out those pieces that don't use fingernails or glue; that's the highest quality. You are looking for wood pieces that have been joined with each other at the ends and corners.

OPPO to bring out new Disney Toy Story edition of Enco W11 in Indonesia
Bipasha Mandal Tech Jun 6, 2020, 4:36 pm
OPPO Indonesia is on a new mission and is pushing people, or at least influencing them, to be their better versions. As their new campaign launches, mainly through various online platforms, the company officially announced that it will kickstart the campaign on June 10 onwards.
So far the tweets regarding the new campaign have been mysterious so far, to say the least. However, OPPO did announce the launch of a new edition of an existing product for their new campaign.
Sempurnakan rencanamu untuk jadi #BeAGreaterYou dengan #OPPOA92 & #OPPOEncoW11 Disney and Pixar's Toy Story Edition!
Nantikan di tanggal 10 Juni 2020! 👀 pic.twitter.com/oVqScqIj6C
— OPPO Indonesia (@OPPOIndonesia) June 6, 2020
As per the latest tweet, OPPO will soon launch OPPO Enco W11 in Disney and Pixar's Toy Story edition. The new edition earpods comes in a Disney inspired funny looking green box. Moreover, the company is pushing for this edition along with the smartphone OPPO A92.
The smartphone is fairly new, and launched in India only last month, in the month of May. The smartphone features a 6.5-inches display screen with a resolution of 1080x 2400. It runs on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor and comes with 8GB of RAM. Furthermore, the smartphone is powered by a 5000mAh non-removable battery.
Although the tweet mentioned, the smartphone A92, and the earpods Enco W11 together, the earphones could also be paired with other smartphones as well. As for the bigger picture, we will have to wait for OPPO's official announcement to piece it all together.
As mentioned before, the special Disney Toy Story edition earphones will go on sale on and from June 10, 2020.

Oecobius selvagensis is probably restricted to two caves on the Selvagem Grande Island (Portugal). This species has a restricted geographic range, with an extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) of only 4 km². The major threat is the spread of the invasive congener O. navus, which may be outcompeting the species in part of its range. Due to this threat, Oecobius selvagensis occurs in only one location and there is a continuing decline in EOO, AOO, number of mature individuals and the extent of the habitat. This species is therefore assessed as Critically Endangered (CR). More research on the distribution and threats is urgently needed. The habitat and the species should be protected and properly managed to avoid any future declines.
The species is probably restricted to the Selvagem Grande Island (Portugal) between Madeira and the Canary Islands, where it was found in an unnamed erosion coastal cave in 1958 (Denis 1963, Rambla 1978, Wunderlich 1992). Two caves are now the entire known range of the species. The extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) are both 4 km².
No population size estimates exist, but the population is assumed to be declining due to the threat of invasive species.
This species is only known from two caves. It is probable that this is a species that lives underground due to the two known localities being inside of caves and it being largely depigmented. Congeners build small flat webs where they hunt for small insects.
The cosmopolitan congener O. navus is now commonly seen, even in caves, after being detected on the island for the first time before 1978. It is possible that there is a gradual replacement of one species by the other, although this, for now, is only suspected. Therefore the cosmopolitan O. navus may be outcompeting the species in part of its range.
No specific conservation measures are in place for this species, but the island of Selvagem Grande is part of the Selvagens Nature Reserve. If competition is confirmed, the invasive O. navus should be controlled. As this task is probably impossible, ex-situ conservation with eventual reintroduction and recovery might be the only feasible measure to prevent further reduction of O. selvagensis. The current distribution of the species and possible threats from the invasive congener should be thoroughly studied. If outcompeted, O. selvagensis should be the target of a species conservation plan with consequent area management actions.

Q: How to run node script with a parameter I would like to run my node script and pass a parameter to this node script
for example my node script index.js looks like :
var user = "me";
console.log(user);

and I would like the user to be a parameter instead of using

node index.js

I can use node index.js --user foo
and the parameter pass to the script
Do you have any idea what I should use

A: It seems as though you are trying to pass command line arguments in Node. Check out this for multiple explanations on how to do that: How do I pass command line arguments?
Seems like this would do if you only have one argument:
var user = process.args.slice(2)

New X-Men Title Hellions Unites Mutantkind's Biggest Troublemakers
Earlier this year, Jonathan Hickman revitalized the X-Men franchise in House of X and Powers of X, ushering in a new age of stories for mutantkind. Dawn of X kept the momentum going with six exciting launches, each exploring the X-Men's new status quo in distinct ways, and this March, this bold era continues with the most unexpected lineup ever seen in an X-Men title… Introducing the new Hellions!
When the X-Men invited all mutants to Krakoa, they meant ALL mutants, even forgiving the past sins of some of their fiercest enemies. Chief among them was Mister Sinister who now tasks himself with finding purpose for mutantkind's most dangerous outcasts: Wild Child, Nanny, Orphan Maker, Empath, and Scalphunter! Also on hand to do Sinister's dirty work will be X-Men favorites Psylocke and Havok! Will they be able keep these murderous baddies in line or will the team's deadly missions have them succumb to their own sinister natures?
Taking us along for this twisted ride will be writer Zeb Wells (Amazing Spider-Man, New Mutants). No stranger to dark humor and in-depth character studies, Zeb is the perfect guide into the unhinged minds that round out this cast. "I can't believe I get a chance to play in the sandbox Jonathan Hickman and company have so brilliantly created," says Wells. "For my money it's the most exciting game in town and I can't wait to let this merry band of psychopaths loose in it."
Joining him on this journey will be artist Stephen Segovia who's made a name for himself in high octane books like Contagion and Superior Carnage. "I am HUGE fan of Zeb Wells' work. The moment I read his Hellions pitch, I was blown away," says Segovia. "It's a new level of mutant stories and I was overjoyed and pumped to begin drawing it immediately. I can't wait for you guys to see the magic we're cooking up and I promise you'll enjoy the ride!"
If you think the book's lineup is shocking, you ain't seen nothing yet! Brace yourselves for more jaw dropping revelations and twists when Hellions #1 hits comic shops in March!

A thoroughbred Aston Martin DB9 with full Main Dealer history and 10,920 miles.
Extruded aluminium crumple zones, xenon projector headlamps, Passive Anti-theft System, LED rear lamps, dual stage airbags, satellite navigation, reversing sensors, heated seats, folding mirrors, work load monitor, cruise control, climate control, ten-way electric adjustable seats, boot-mounted umbrella. Factory Options: Heated front screen, Linn 260w audio system with CD autochanger. Dealer Fit: Parrot Bluetooth.
This Aston Martin is immaculate finished in traditional Grigio Titanio Silver and the paint work is silky smooth to touch and has an outstanding mirror gloss finish. Designed by Henrik Fisker and an instant classic with understated elegance, harmonious proportions and a ground-hugging stance. The distinctive grille and 'swan-wing' doors are immaculate and Main Dealer number plates are fitted front and rear. Advanced production technologies such as aerospace-specification bonded aluminium structure to offer enormous rigidity, lightness and responsiveness all add to the appeal. With one private owner from new and pampered garage storage this truly outstanding example is for the individual seeking perfection.
The Savile Row of sports car production with luxurious and indulgent full grain leather finished in Caspian and Shark Blue. With such low miles the leather is soft and supple and displays no wear and the cabin is hand trimmed in the finest quality materials all pristine in appearance and function. Wonderful detail extends to the beautiful starter button made from clear class and entry sills proudly stating 'Hand built in England'. The single piece cuts of Walnut along with the electroluminescent displays blend tradition and modern features perfectly. The boot area is spotless and houses an unused Aston Martin umbrella. Exquisite in every respect.
An all alloy, quad overhead camshaft, 48-valve 5935cc V12 engine produces 450bhp and effortlessly propels this GT sports car to a top speed of 186mph and 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds. The engine growl is incredible and this example, despite the low warranted mileage, has been annually serviced at Aston Martin. The desirable and rare six-speed manual gearbox with the innovative propeller shaft manufactured from carbon fibre for lightness and improved refinement is the perfect combination.

The DB9 was the first Aston Martin to be produced at the companies world headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire and this immaculate example was first registered on the 29th June 2005 to Lancaster Aston Martin before being sold to Mr Evenden who remained the registered custodian. The amazing history file includes the Approved Aston Martin Specification Sheet when the car was advertised for £110,000 and the subsequent invoice to Mr Evenden for the purchase. Conscientious and perfection seeking buyers will be satisfied with the full annual Aston Martin/Jaguar service history. Despite having only covered 10,920 miles a total of 15 service entries have occurred with corresponding invoices for the privilege. All handbooks, spare keys on Aston Martin leather key fobs and sales brochures are included. The Tracker security documentation folder is also present. An astonishingly low mileage, low owner and impeccably maintained example suitable for the discerning enthusiast.


So it is ONE week until Christmas Day and lucky me has finished all her Christmas shopping! I am feeling pretty smug about it too...Cheeky me! But working in Outfit I see people running around trying to find the last few gifts for their loved ones. I've seen tons of gift idea posts and thought it would be nice to do one too, but a last minute gifts ideas! I thought of some for him and for her add ons special gifts that could win hearts and tattoo smiles on faces!
Smellies: + 007 Gold Limited Edition Fragrance ♦ - What guy doesn't love 007? He's 'England's most powerful weapon' and gets all the girls! This limited edition fragrance created especially for 50 year of James Bond, "a classic fragrance with a modern twist". Everything about the bottle and the scent resembles everything that is 'Bond and British': strength, luxury, masculinity, charm and elegance. What man won't love this bit of class? + Lady Gaga Fame - And now what girl doesn't love Lady Gaga!? When I saw this first of all I didn't expect it to smell great if I'm honest but after a sniff in my local Superdrug I'm in love with this floral fragrance. It comes in an amazing bottle with a claw top and a black to clear spray is just a dark magic touch. Perfect for your gal!
Techies: + iPhone Mini Microscope - Okay so this could be for men or women, but what guy isn't a little into science. I think this is perfect for guys because it's a playful accessory which touches into our guys 'childish' ways that we oh so love. It's educational and plays on curiosity!

But I think us girls are going to love a more pretty creative gift like this for our technological side of life! We love photos, and sharing them on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram so this would be a perfect girly gift!
Fashionists: + Foxy Christmas Jumper - Classic. Christmas Jumper is probably one of the most typical Christmas gifts!

Foxes aren't too Christmassy but he could get away with this after Christmas too ;) + Classic Reindeer Jumper - Ah! Again classic! Even more classic with the classic knit and reindeer included for the Christmas touch! And I think this would look great on with skirts, jeans, or whatever you like on Christmas day!

Tea/Coffee Addicts: + Heat Change Tetris Mug - Again this sort of gift plays into our men's playful kiddie side! A mug that plays tetris on its own with the heat? Too cool! I think the mug is a typical Christmas gift, and it's great for those coffee and tea lovers. + Red Rose Eco-Cup - This mug is just cute! Girls are the ones who love their Starbucks and Costa coffees more than blokes, so an eco-cup like this appeals more to the ladies. So boys, buy us one ;) We'll love you forever!

Jimmy Mangan's Monty's Mission was a popular winner at Tallow point-to-point on Sunday, a fixture which is run on Mangan's land.
The daughter of Arctic Cosmos, who stands at Old Roan Stud, was successful in the Old Road Stud & Gain Feeds Mares Maiden, and in the process evoked memories of Monty's Pass.
Sent off an odds-on chance, Monty's Mission was always towards the head of affairs under Johnny Hurley, and came home 10 lengths to the good in the colours of owners Hanford's Chemist Limited.
Having filled the runner-up spot on her two previous outings, Mangan reflected: "She was entitled to win that, she had the form.
"She will probably go for a mares winners of one now, we won't panic with her, she's just not ready for the track yet.


Here's a challenge: Read through the following and try to guess who wrote it.
Oh, how does it feel when it's love?
Ooh, how does it feel when it's love?
… after all the poem starts with, "everybody's lookin' for somethin', somethin' to fill in the holes" in true Pascalian fashion.
… when you considered the lines that said, "You look at every face in a crowd – some shine and some keep you guessin'. Waiting for someone to come into focus and teach you your final love lesson." Isn't that how Augustine might have put it had he written in the English vernacular of 20th Century America rather than in 4th Century Latin?
Yes, folks believe it or not, this deep and beautiful song was written and performed by Eddie and Alex Van Halen, Sammy Haggar, and Michael Anthony – that is, to use the words of one reviewer, that "band of idiots" known to the world as Van Halen.
After all they're not immune to the deeply seeded need that all humans have to know unconditional love and acceptance. Whether it's a straight arrow, feet-on-the-ground world pastor or a jelly brained, out-of-touch rock star we all feel this need – and clearly the guys in Van Halen do too.
Nor, apparently, is Van Halen any more immune to incorrectly diagnosing the "fix" as romantic love than anyone else is – as the video illustrates well. My hope and prayer for these guys that someday, somehow, the they "get" the wisdom of St. Augustine that "our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee." Perhaps on that day they'll join us in singing this song through tears of fulfilled joy rather than longing, despair, and confusion.

Maverick Musicians Portraits
Woodstock Public Library District
Samuel Lifschey, violist - Image Source
The Maverick Art Colony was founded in 1905 by by Harvard graduate turned social activist, author, idealist and bohemian, Hervey White. Music was a crucial part of the colony, and it drew many musicians and artists over the years. In 1916, Hervey began hosting chamber music concerts featuring both amateur and acclaimed musicians. These concerts continue to be held to this day.
When asked about performing at The Maverick, musician and founding music director of the National Orchestral Association Leon Barzin noted that, "From the very beginning, music at the Maverick was a unique effort of professionals and amateurs". He also stated that, "from the very first performance there was a delightful mixture of formality and informality. Nothing in Woodstock can ever be completely formal." Barzin was just one member of a diverse gathering of musicians who played in the concerts. Prominent performers also included Pierre Henrotte, concert-master of the Metropolitan Opera House, George Barrere, internationally renowned flutist and Boris Koutzen, gifted composer and member of the first violin section of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
This collection includes photographic portraits of musicians who played in concerts held at The Maverick in Woodstock, N.Y. Many of the images are signed by the musicians.
