Susana Baca en el New York Times
La actual Ministra de Cultura del Perú, Susana Baca, entrevistada por el New York Times. la nota es de James C. McKinley Jr.
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr. Published: August 19, 2011
Success was a long time coming for Susana Baca, the Afro-Peruvian folk singer who was recently named minister of culture for the new populist government of President Ollanta Humala of Peru. She is the first black member of the Peruvian cabinet and the first musician to hold the position.
Ms. Baca was 51 and working in relative obscurity when David Byrne discovered her in the mid-1990s and put her stirring rendition of "Maria Lando" on his compilation "Soul of Black Peru."
Since then she has recorded six albums on Mr. Byrne's label, Luaka Bop, and her reputation as an ambassador of Afro-Peruvian music to the rest of the world has grown. She won a Latin Grammy in 2002 for best folk album when a European label reissued "Lamento Negro," the forgotten record she had made at the Egrem studio in Cuba in 1986.
Critics have lauded the plangent quality of her voice and the way she plays with folk forms, combining rhythms of different genres and tinkering with traditional lyrics, sometimes even setting poetry to folk tunes.
Her new album, "Afrodiaspora" (Luaka Bop), departs from her ballad-heavy sets rooted mostly in Peruvian rhythms. She takes an up-tempo tour of African-influenced music across the Americas, singing not only Peruvian festejos and landós, but also a Colombian cumbia, a Cuban son, a Puerto Rican bomba, a Brazilian coco, a funk tune about New Orleans, a Mexican son jarocho.
Now 67, Ms. Baca has never been a member of the political or social elite of Peru, where racial and class divisions run deep, though for decades she was an outspoken advocate for Peruvian blacks. Rebuffed as a musician, she founded the Instituto Negrocontinuo in Lima to preserve black folklore and music.
The request from President Humala, a former general turned left-leaning populist, to lead the culture ministry came out of the blue as she was preparing to go on a tour of the United States and Europe to promote "Afrodiaspora." She will appear on Sunday evening at City Winery in the South Village. She spoke on the telephone recently about the new album and her appointment. Following are edited excerpts.
Q. Tell us how you ended up being named minister of culture. Did you know before the election that it was a possibility?
A. It was a big shock. The ministers of culture have always been archaeologists and anthropologists, sociologists, but never an artist. I thought about my mother, and how I would have liked that she were alive to know that her daughter, from a humble background, who has struggled a lot in life, came to have such an important post in this country.
Q. You have never moved in the circles of governmental power in your country. When you were a girl, was it even possible for a black woman to dream of becoming a minister?
A. Not just when I was a girl. It was only a short time ago that we managed to become respected, to have status. Among common people there is this mentality, and this we have seen in the social networks during the second round of the election of President Humala. There were terrible, racist things said on the networks. Racism against Indians. Strong racism. It was regrettable and sad that in this country there still are people who despise blacks and Indians and natives of the Amazon.
Q. Tell us about this new album. It seems like a tour of the music of African people in the Americas. You draw on traditions from Cuba, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, Puerto Rico, even New Orleans. Why did you choose these songs?
A. I wanted to show the Africanness of America. Our Africanness. To celebrate this Africanness. That is what has happened on this album. In choosing the songs, it is marvelous to see that when we interpret music of Puerto Rico, and a bomba dance seems to be so much ours, because the rhythm, well, it's not the same, but it's similar. What excites me so much, for example, is how one can manage to make a funk song end in a Peruvian festejo, and you don't lose authenticity.
Q. Is there a particular track on this album that is special for you?
A. The one from New Orleans. It was important to do this work because I lived in New Orleans and got to know the musicians there, but I couldn't get anything started because of Katrina. When I do this song, I remember all that I lived through, and I think it is a homage to the music of that beautiful place that is New Orleans.
Q. You were forced to leave by Katrina. How long were you there?
A. I went up for about a month. I arrived for the celebration of Louis Armstrong's birthday, and there was a lot of music, a lot of food. It seemed to me I was in paradise. All of a sudden the hurricane came, and everything was transformed.
Q. On this album there are two covers of songs by the Mexican singer Amparo Ochoa and the Cuban songstress Celia Cruz. How did they influence you and your music?
A. Celia Cruz I have known since I opened my eyes. My mother adored her. I saw her on television singing with La Sonora Matancera, in the era when she sang with them. And she was singing Yoruba songs. It fascinated me.
Q. And Amparo Ochoa?
A. I met her in Cuba in the 1970s. She arrived and went directly from the plane to the stage and started to sing and sing and sing. Later we passed several days together there, her singing a Peruvian festejo and me learning "La Maldición de Malinche." We shared a lot.
Q. How will you be able to balance your duties as a minister and your music career?
A. It's going to be very difficult. Although I have a first-rate team working here, I think that the job's going to eat into my work as a musician. But I'm not about to give up music.

Shock Results on the Cards in Capital One Cup
It's been a barn-storming start to the season, with action, drama and controversy on the opening day in all four English divisions. There's no respite at this time of year though, and football league clubs are already gearing up for midweek matches in the first round of the Capital One Cup.
Despite repeated attempt to revitalize the competition, it is still treated as a low priority by many clubs, with the holy grail of promotion much more important. This competition often throws up plenty of shocks for that reason, and it's worth checking team news before making a final decision on any bets. Looking through the coupon there appear to be several potential candidates for an upset, and we've picked out three that could give us a good run for our money.
Luton v Bristol City
Luton Town kick off our trio of banana skins on Tuesday night when they play host to Championship new boys, Bristol City. The Hatters are a solid side at home, and had an impressive campaign in League Two last season. City romped to the League One title last season to earn promotion, but their focus this year may well be on Championship survival rather than a cup run.
Luton – 3.60Bet €100 to win €36013/5Bet £100 to win £360+260Bet $100 to win $3602.60Bet HK$100 to win HK$3602.60Bet Rp100 to win Rp360-0.3846Bet RM100 to win RM360 with BetVictor
Bristol City – 2.15Bet €100 to win €21523/20Bet £100 to win £215+115Bet $100 to win $2151.15Bet HK$100 to win HK$2151.15Bet Rp100 to win Rp215-0.8696Bet RM100 to win RM215 with Betfred, Ladbrokes and Coral
Draw – 3.50Bet €100 to win €3505/2Bet £100 to win £350+250Bet $100 to win $3502.50Bet HK$100 to win HK$3502.50Bet Rp100 to win Rp350-0.4000Bet RM100 to win RM350 with Betfred, BetVictor and William Hill
Luton started their League Two campaign against Accrington on Saturday, and were somewhat fortunate to grab a deflected injury-time equalizer. However, they're a different kettle of fish at home, and the fans will be baying for an upset against higher league opposition.
Bristol City won't relish the trip to Kenilworth Road, and it's doubtful whether they will take a full squad across the country with them. They were given a harsh introduction to Championship life by Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend, going down 2-0, and the focus at Ashton Gate must be on consolidation in the second tier.
Luton have beaten City on their last two visits here, and are worth backing to take the game to the Robins and pull off a suprise result.
Wycombe v Fulham
Another game that looks like a potential upset is the match at Adams Park between Wycombe and Fulham. Wanderers have had a good cup pedigree over the years, and are worth a small punt at a big price to overcome a Fulham side that are firmly focused on trying to return to the Premier League.
Wycombe – 3.50Bet €100 to win €3505/2Bet £100 to win £350+250Bet $100 to win $3502.50Bet HK$100 to win HK$3502.50Bet Rp100 to win Rp350-0.4000Bet RM100 to win RM350 with Skybet and Coral
Fulham – 2.10Bet €100 to win €21011/10Bet £100 to win £210+110Bet $100 to win $2101.10Bet HK$100 to win HK$2101.10Bet Rp100 to win Rp210-0.9091Bet RM100 to win RM210 with Betfred and William Hill
Draw – 3.60Bet €100 to win €36013/5Bet £100 to win £360+260Bet $100 to win $3602.60Bet HK$100 to win HK$3602.60Bet Rp100 to win Rp360-0.3846Bet RM100 to win RM360 with BetVictor
Cottager's boss Kit Symons has made no secret of the fact that his priority this year is a push for promotion, and with his side already suffering from a mini injury crisis, it would be logical for him to rest players here. The likes of Scott Parker, Luke Garbutt, George Williams, and Fernando Amorebieta are out injured, while Ryan Tunnicliffe serves a suspension. Fulham still have plenty of quality in their ranks, even among the reserves and youth players, but it's difficult to perform as a cohesive unit if too many changes are made.
Wycombe started their League Two season with a bang, hitting three past York at the weekend without reply. There didn't appear to be any play-off hangover from last season, and boss Gareth Ainsworth said afterwards that his side had played some 'great stuff' on the day. They'll also be looking for another promotion charge, but the confidence boost of beating a team from a higher division can't be underestimated, and Ainsworth is bound to want to keep the winning run going on Tuesday night.
It may also be worth keeping an eye out for goals in this game as Fulhams last six League Cup ties have features 25 goals between them – an average of 4.2 goals per game.
Bolton v Burton Albion
The last of our treble of potential shocks comes at the Reebok stadium, and of the three it's the most speculative. Burton Albion ran away with the League Two title last season under former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink, and they got off to a perfect start to life in League One with a 2-1 victory over Scunthorpe.
It's a tall order to go to Bolton and win, but at the price they are worth a small punt. The Trotters have got a huge injury list to contend with, and lost the services of captain Jay Spearing when he was given his marching orders towards the end of the 0-0 draw with Derby at the weekend.
Bolton – 1.83Bet €100 to win €18383/100Bet £100 to win £183-120Bet $100 to win $1830.83Bet HK$100 to win HK$183-1.20Bet Rp100 to win Rp1830.8300Bet RM100 to win RM183 with Betfred, Ladbrokes and William Hill
Burton Albion – 5.00Bet €100 to win €5004/1Bet £100 to win £500+400Bet $100 to win $5004.00Bet HK$100 to win HK$5004.00Bet Rp100 to win Rp500-0.2500Bet RM100 to win RM500 with Bet365
Hasselbaink has made an impressive start to his managerial career, and Burton look to be the perfect match as a club that is also on the up. They've beaten teams from a higher tier in the League Cup in each of the last three seasons, and can travel to the Reebok with nothing to lose.
Bolton had a muddling season last term, eventually winding up 18th in the table. The club's media department will tell you the aim for this season is promotion, but the most ardent of fans will surely admit that they're as likely to be looking over their shoulders as they are looking upwards. As well as losing their captain, Bolton will also assess Darren Pratley, and are definitely without Tim Ream, Max Clayton, Derik Osede and David Wheater.
It probably wouldn't be the worst result in the world for Trotter's boss Neil Lennon if they were knocked out of this competition, and it would enable him to concentrate on the league. It's a long shot for sure, but at a decent price Burton are worth a small investment.
Each of these tips are outsiders, but we know from experience that there are always shocks at this stage of the League Cup. Small stakes are advised.

During normal processes, the ovum must exit from the tubes and attach to the uterus. There, the embryo begins to actively develop and grow, after which the case ends in childbirth at the right time. If the pregnancy is pathological, the egg does not enter the uterus. Moreover, even the doctors still, despite the fact that the problem has been widely known since the 11th century, do not know what exactly is the reason for this development of events. At the same time, there are quite a few places from where they have to extract a fertilized egg – these are the tubes themselves, the ovaries, and even the cavity of the peritoneum. The most frequent option is considered to be the pipe version.
As doctors say, such a delay of the embryo is caused by obstruction of the tubes. And if one doesn't notice the signs of the pathology that has begun, the risk is high that within a month after fertilization, the enlarged fertilized egg will simply burst the tube. Naturally, in this case there is a threat of the development of active bleeding, which will become a life threatening woman. In order to avoid such a problem, if you are suspected of a possible pregnancy, register as soon as possible.
Why can a lady have such a problem?
she has changes in the structure of the endometrium. Mucous begins to swell and even in some cases, the effect of its bonding. After that, the pipes may be cut off.
At a certain stage of development, the villi of the egg appear, which allow it to be fixed where it is convenient. In the normal course of events, it is assumed that this place should be the uterus. However, if it did not move into it, the egg will be fixed where it will be convenient for it.
But there are also such moments when the egg bursts and flows into the peritoneum. Along with him comes a certain amount of blood, as a result of which the woman experiences such unpleasant sensations as nausea and pain in the lower abdomen, and bloody discharge from the genital tract can also occur.
Therefore, a woman planning a pregnancy should be carefully checked before proceeding to conception. This will eliminate all possible problems and make it possible to conceive, bear and give birth to a healthy baby.
Ectopic pregnancy has a number of characteristic signs. For example, the very first symptom of such a problem is bleeding – as doctors say, such a sign appears in 80% of cases. It should be understood that such a sign is manifested during normal pregnancy, when it appears when an embryo is implanted.
Also among the bright signals of an impending catastrophe will appear the pain that has appeared. It will be felt mainly in the lower abdomen. At the same time, such pain is more intense – women note that it is sharper than that which can occur during the normal course of pregnancy.
Another characteristic symptom of a problem is nausea and vomiting. It is important to understand that such symptoms are common for a number of gynecological problems. But with the development of pregnancy outside the uterus, they can be stronger and more pronounced. Also it should be borne in mind that some ladies may not manifest themselves.
The pain with discomfort when going to the toilet should also look like alarming ones. Such a variant of the manifestation of the pathological condition may appear when the ovum is located so that pressure is applied to a specific part of the urinary system or the intestine.
An unexpected pain in ectopic pregnancy can be a pain in the shoulders. This occurs when the development of internal bleeding, when blood begins to fall into the peritoneum and cause irritation of the diaphragm. As the doctors say, this option is more typical for the late stages of the development of pathological pregnancy, when the fertilized egg increases so much that it can easily cause problems and malfunctions in the work of various internal organs.
When a pipe or the most ovum has ruptured, severe, sharp pain begins to manifest itself, which is usually localized in the lower abdomen, which gives to the neck. Often this pathological situation is accompanied by a shock.
If such signs appear, you should seek medical assistance as soon as possible. No options to "lie down", self-medication is unacceptable. This can quickly lead to death.
Experts say that it is extremely important to diagnose the problem on time. Moreover, this method is quite a lot. So, for example, doctors know that a normal pregnancy proceeds with a certain change in the level of hormones – these or other parameters are characteristic for different periods. Ectopic pregnancy can not boast of such indicators. For example, when performing a test at home, a woman may note that the second strip on the test is rather weak in color. Such a condition of the test strip may indicate that the concentration of hCG, the main hormone of pregnant women, is slightly increased.
If you donate blood for analysis, you can immediately detect deviations from the norm. So, if the embryo is normally located in the uterus, the hormone standards will increase in proportion to its development. In the case of an ectopic pregnancy, the indicators are unlikely to be met.
100% confidence has a study conducted using an ultrasound machine. It will show for sure whether there is a fetus in the womb, or if it has not reached it. If the fertilized egg is in the peritoneum, some problems of its determination may appear. But if a pregnancy test and a blood test for hCG indicates that there is a pregnancy that cannot be determined in the uterus, doctors may say that it is not there. It is worth 3-4 weeks of pregnancy to conduct such a study for women at risk, as well as for women who have characteristic symptoms.
According to statistics, this kind of problem often manifests itself in women whose relatives have also suffered. In addition, the development of a similar pathology in a woman is affected even by abortions and other surgical interventions that the grandmother or mother of the woman has suffered.
Treatment of ectopic pregnancy is an important set of measures that cannot be ignored. To eliminate it, several different methods are used, the choice of which directly depends on the stage of pathology development. If only the most insignificant symptoms of the woman being pregnant outside the uterus appear, the woman is immediately hospitalized. In the hospital, it will be easier and faster to determine exactly where the fetus has lingered. If you find a problem in the early stages, you can remove the embryo in a gentle way, preserving the full reproductive health of the woman.
A rather popular treatment option is laporoscopy. This is a modern surgical technique, which is characterized by low invasiveness. A woman is given a small puncture, into which the endoscope and the equipment necessary to remove the embryo are passed. There will be no traces of him, and the rehabilitation period will take significantly less time. Such an operation is a safe procedure, which is also characterized by minimal pain. The undoubted advantage is the fact that during the intervention the doctor does not touch the surrounding organs and does not injure them. In addition, after such an operation, adhesions and scars are not formed.
Treatment of ectopic pregnancy implies a full examination of the lady in order to find out what caused it. After all, this will avoid a repetition of the situation.
The main question that bothers women is whether it is possible to preserve the fallopian tube. After all, if you suddenly remove it, and then the situation repeats again, the woman may remain barren. Doctors say that it is possible to save the pipe, but only if the rupture has not yet taken place, and the damage is minimal.
A small percentage of women in the cavity of the tubes remain tissue of pregnancy. The doctor in this situation offers the lady the use of special medicines that will stop the growth of tissues. It is important to understand that this treatment option can be used only with the permission of the doctor and only under its control.
In the presence of such pathology, the rehabilitation period is extremely important. The first time a woman should spend in the hospital. Here she will be offered droppers that will help restore the balance of fluid in the body – this is a necessary measure after blood loss. Also, a lady will be printed with antibiotics – such a measure is required in order to exclude infection and diseases developing on this background.
Most of the rehabilitation measures after an ectopic pregnancy should be aimed at correcting and restoring the reproductive system of the female.
It also happens that enzymes are included in the therapy – they allow for the prevention of adhesions. Also for the prevention of adhesions requires the use of hormonal contraceptives. They also help protect against re-pregnancy, which at this stage is undesirable. As a rule, rehabilitation is not difficult. But it provided that the woman complies with all the requirements of the doctor.
A prerequisite is the use of a special diet. There is a woman who underwent surgery to remove the ovum or tube, you need light food. Products should be baked, boiled or stewed. In addition, doctors recommend the use of split meals in small portions – the body at the moment should be engaged in recovery, and not be distracted by the digestion and assimilation of heavy products. The diet must be balanced. In addition, it should be understood that it is necessary to eat at the same time – it will be easier for the body to adjust to all processes.
Often, doctors recommend physical therapy to recover from such a complex pathology. Moreover, it can be a diverse method – from laser to magnetic therapy. An excellent solution would be UHF.
Of course, many women are worried about such a moment as planning a subsequent pregnancy. Be sure to consult with your doctor. But an ectopic pregnancy with fully completed treatment and rehabilitation allows a woman to plan a baby in the next cycle.
What are the complications of such a pathology?

East of Vik you will find the Dyrhólaey Nature Reserve with the beautiful arch and from where you can see the glacier, the sea coast, the lightroom (now a hotel) and the nesting colonies of seabirds!
From this place you will have a great look to the black sand beach and the Reynisfjara shore with its basalt steps columns. The cliffs west of the beach are home to many seabirds, most notably puffins which burrow into the shallow soils during the nesting season.
The first rain drops came just in time before we left the black sand beach Vik and driving further.
A few kilometers before the small village Kirkjubaejarklaustur you enjoyed a walk above the Fjaðrárgljúfur, a narrow and beautiful canyon. Really worth to have a lot at this incredible place.
We drove back for about 8 kilometers back and after turning right (road 26) we approached the volcano Hekla and the Burfell volcano on other side of the river.
The incredible landscape let us stop for a few photo sessions. The alternative route back to Hella (road 268) was a gravel road, so after crossing the bride and taking a few pictures of the stunning blue reflection of the river. After about 2 kilometer on that road we found that driving back from the paved road would be the better and easier choice.
Our next stop was the Seljalandsfoss waterfall which tumbles 60 m over the old sea cliff into a deep plunge pool. It has so undercut the rocks that it is possible to walk behind the cascade.

A real Lowe point!
rovers.co.uk
Deadline day signing Jason Steele insists he can't wait to get to know his new team-mates, but admits there is a certain Rover he will be doing his best to avoid!
"The international break has probably come at a good time for me personally. It gives me time to get settled into training, get to know the lads and meet the staff and I'm looking forward to it."
"I remember it being difficult against Rovers last season. Ewood Park is always a tough place to come and hopefully I can help keep it that way.
"As for Lowey, I'll never forgive him for that goal he scored against me! I can't remember him ever having a shot, let alone him scoring one! I'm sure he'll have a bit of banter with me over the next few weeks about that.
"I know a few of the lads already from England duty and other clubs and there are a lot of young, hungry players here," he said.
Steele lined up for Middlesbrough against Rovers at Ewood Park last season when his former England Under-21 colleague Jason Lowe had the last laugh with his 'Goal of the Season' strike in the 1-0 victory.

V-Reds Topple Panthers In Shootout
The highly anticipated match-up between the country's #2 and #4 teams tonight in Charlottetown lived up to expectations as the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds edged the UPEI Panthers 3-2 in a shootout. The V-Reds improve to 7-0-0 on the season, 4 points clear of the 2nd place Acadia Axemen. Meanwhile, the Panthers fall to 4-1-1.
The Varsity Reds never trailed in this one. Matt Petgrave (Willick, Houde-Caron) scored the only goal of the first period as he gave UNB a 1-0 lead 6:02 into the game. The Panthers responded with a goal by Tyler Brown to tie it up 3:32 into the 2nd period before Petgrave (Culligan, Critchlow) scored his 2nd of the night when he pinched in from the blue-line to poke a loose puck past a sprawling Wayne Savage just under 8 minutes later. Jordan Mayer would answer for UPEI at 17:32 to send the game into the 3rd tied at 2. The score would remain deadlocked throughout the final 20 minutes as well as an entertaining 10 minute overtime before heading to a shootout. In the shootout Cam Braes got it started with a goal for UNB only to see Mayer answer right back for UPEI with a goal of his own on Charles Lavigne. Taylor MacDougall was the next shooter and scored what proved to be the game winner as Lavigne stopped both Chris DeSousa and Cody McNaughton, which were sandwiched around a failed attempt by Philippe Maillet.
- Antoine Houde-Caron was back in the line-up, replacing J.P. Labardo. Shea Kewin and Tyler Carroll remained out.
- Shots in the game favoured UNB 33-31.
- UNB was 0 for 3 with the man advantage. UPEI went 0 for 5.
- The V-Reds were uncharacteristically bad in the face-off dot tonight, winning only 38 out of 86 draws. Chris Culligan had an especially tough night as he lost 20 out of his 28 face-offs.
- Attendance was 1050.
- This was UNB's first shootout since dropping a 3-2 decision to Dalhousie on February 4th, 2012 - a game that wasn't settled until the 16th shooters. They were not involved in one all of last season.
- In other games around the AUS tonight St. FX defeated Dalhousie 5-2 in Halifax and Moncton beat St. Thomas 4-1 in Fredericton.
- The next game action for UNB won't be until November 15th when the Acadia Axemen visit the AUC. However, 9 members of the team (Lavigne, Shutron, Desnoyers, Murray, Culligan, MacNeil, Nesbitt, Braes, and Critchlow will be participating in the AUS All-Star Game this Friday night at the Grant*Harvey Centre. Tyler Carroll was also invited but will not participate due to injury.

How Chancellor Rishi Sunak's Winter Economy Plan will help barbers
Charlotte G-W
Chancellor Rishi Sunak's Winter Economy Plan aims to protect jobs during the coronavirus pandemic. We explain what this means for barbers.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced his Winter Economy Plan in the House of Commons today (September 24) which aims to protect jobs through the difficult winter months of COVID-19. We explain what his announcement means for beauty salons, spas, and mobile and home-based therapists working in the UK.
"The resurgence of the virus [Covid-19] and the measures we need to take in response poses a threat to this fragile economic recovery… but our primary goal remains unchanged – to support people's jobs, but the way we achieve that must evolve," said Sunak.
New Job Support Scheme to launch in November
A new scheme has been announced to support the wages of people in work, giving employers who face depressed winter demand the option of keeping people in jobs on shorter hours rather than making them redundant.
The six-month Job Support Scheme will come into effect from November 1 and will support viable jobs – so employees must be working at least a third of their normal hours and be paid for that work as normal by their employer.
The Government, together with employers, will increase those people's wages covering two thirds of the pay they have lost by reducing their working hours. The employee will keep their job and anyone who as of yesterday is employed is eligible.
The scheme will run until April 2021 and all small-to-medium-sized businesses are eligible to apply, but larger businesses can only do this when their turnover has fallen. Businesses who have not previously used the current furlough scheme (the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme), which ends in October, are eligible to apply for the scheme.
Also, employers retaining furloughed staff on shorter hours can claim both the Jobs Support Scheme and the Jobs Retention Bonus, and this, the Government says, significantly increases the incentives to bring back previously furloughed employees.
For mobile barbers, it's important to note that the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme is being extended on "similar terms" to the existing job support scheme. More detail to come on this soon.
Other important measures announced in Sunak's Winter Economy Plan:
The furlough scheme is definitely coming to an end and Sunak said that this was a hard choice, but that it is "fundamentally wrong" to keep people in unviable jobs.
Sunak also announced Vat Deferral – a 12-month interest-free payment plan for up to 500K businesses. Businesses who deferred their VAT will no longer have to pay a lump sum at the end of March 2021. They will have the option of splitting it into smaller, interest-free payments over the course of 11 months.
Pay as You Grow scheme – this scheme is for businesses which took Government guaranteed loans during the crisis. "Loans can now be extended from six to 10 years, nearly halving the average monthly repayment," said Sunak. Business owners can also move to interest-only payments or suspend payments if they are "in real trouble" for up to six months. This also won't affect credit ratings.
Sunak is cancelling the VAT increase for two of the worst sectors affected by the pandemic – hospitality and tourism. VAT was planned to increase from 5% to 20% in January 2021, but for these sectors it will remain at the lower rate of 5% until March 31, 2021.
Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans will be extended for up to 10 years.
There will also be a new loan scheme in January, more information to come.

This one's for my family up in Liverpool NY! We had a great week-long visit, and my head is still a bit preoccupied with LEGO-themed nonsense... A happy side-effect!
I'm sure my LEGO Heroica and Minotaurus games will never be the same. As I sit at the coffee table contemplating whether to break down our elaborate gameboard, and what segments I should store in each box, I also find myself puzzling over how to keep track of all the little pieces we invented — and the rules that go with them. Do you think other families and friends might benefit from our new rules? Would it inspire their creativity? Maybe at least inspire people to get some board games down from the closet shelf for a night or two?!
I don't know, but it's worth a try!
This is a typical LEGO Heroica player's "Pack" (left) and "Hero" figure (right). The red conical pieces represent the player's health. When all four are placed in your pack, you have full health. When you battle a monster (like the brown werewolf figure shown here), you may have to lose health equal to the strength of the monster, indicated by removing red pieces from your pack. When you defeat a monster, you take it off the board and add it to your pack. (The werewolf has a strength of two. Hypothetically, this player defeated the werewolf, but also lost some health in the process.) Weapons like the ones shown here can be purchased from game's bank or store using "Gold", represented by the gold-colored conical pieces. Weapons represent special abilities you can activate when you roll the dice.
These are standard game rules!
This is the standard LEGO Heroica game bank or store. Each gold-colored conical piece represents "Gold" that may be used to purchase items from the store. "Gold" pieces are collected from the gameboard during gameplay. The gold-colored cup piece is the "Chalice of Life", worth two pieces of gold if you sell it to the store, but also represents some special in-game abilities. The yellow and red pieces shown here represent special potions and are meant to resemble potion vials (a bottle with a cap). The yellow one automatically defeats a monster, when used, so that the player doesn't need to risk rolling the dice and losing any health. The red one automatically restores the player's full health.
There were four of us playing together, and we found that each Heroica "Mission" was too short. Our Minotaurus games were also pretty short. We wanted them to go on longer! We wanted them to be more challenging! We wanted them to be funnier, too!
So we built a bigger gameboard with more complicated paths. We invented some new monsters, new potions, new weapons, new obstacles... We went a little nuts!
Vampire Stone (red with bat), Ghost Magic (blue with ghost), Summoning Spell (orange with wolf), Transformation Sludge (yellow with slimy bubbles), Evil Eye (purple with the Egyptian eye of Horus), and Jolt of Power (green with lightning). I pulled these pieces out of my Dracula's Castle LEGO set.
The Summoning Spell stone also confers on the player a special skill: the ability to summon a monster from the player's "Pack" to fight a monster on their behalf! If a roll of the dice indicates the player should lose any health during the battle, the monster he or she has summoned will lose health first, equal to its strength. And if the strength of the monster you're fighting against is equal to or greater than the strength of the monster you summoned, the monster you summoned gets defeated and therefore needs to go back to the board (where it can be fought and defeated, again, by any player). And you could lose health equal to the difference between the strength of both monsters. You may keep the Summoning Spell in your "Pack" until you use it, and you may only use it once before it goes back to the board. But you can pick it up again, if you land on that space.
We combined the numbered tiles from my Heroica and Minotaurus sets to give us a standard one-through-six numbered dice. Then we invented colored tiles to fill the second dice, choosing colors that would correspond to our Magic Stones.
In the standard Minotaurus game, a grey tile allows you to move a wall. The black tile allows you to move the Minotaur eight spaces. The green tile allows you to jump a hedge. Players can move between three and six spaces, but not fewer than three. In the standard Heroica game, each numbered tile (the greatest number is three) also has a little picture icon related to battle outcomes. In a battle with a monster, the skull means you fail to defeat the monster, lose health equal to the strength of the monster, and move back on the gameboard. The sword means you defeat the monster without losing any health. The sword/skull combo means both happen - you defeat the monster, but lose some health and move back a few spaces. We transferred the Heroica "Shield" tile (the round symbol, top right) to the second dice. In Heroica, the "Shield" tile allows you to defeat the monster OR choose to activate a special skill.
We also decided to make the neon yellow grill (or just a plain yellow tile) equivalent to the sword tile, and the Mixel Eye (or just a plain red tile) equivalent to the skull tile, so the second dice can still indicate battle outcomes apart from the "Shield".
Roll the dice with colored tiles to determine what each potion will do for you.
We discovered it was really hard to make use of our stones, since there were so few of them and they were scattered around the board in hard-to-reach places. So we also invented Mystery Potions! If you have a mystery potion, you roll the dice at the time you want to use it. The corresponding colored tile on the dice indicates what it will become, roughly equivalent to each "Magic Stone" (see above).
The "Shield" tile corresponds to the Summoning Spell, allowing the player to cast the spell without the stone. The black tile corresponds to the Vampire Stone, allowing you to take the antidote potion and stop being a "Minion". If players agree to this at the beginning of the game, it may also allow you to cast the spell without the stone, as long as you're not already a "Minion". The blue tile corresponds to the Ghost Magic stone, the translucent yellow "grill" tile corresponds to the Transformation Sludge stone, the purple tile corresponds to the Evil Eye (of Horus) stone, and the green tile corresponds to the Jolt of Power stone.
Once activated, Ghost Magic turns you into a ghost and it lasts for three full turns. We actually made blue bottle potions the player should take to use Ghost Magic, indicated by a translucent blue conical piece with an opaque round gold piece as the bottle stopper. (If you used the stone instead of the potion, perhaps you could cast a Ghost Magic spell on another player for three turns?) Once Ghost Magic is activated, you can pass through obstacles, including solid walls, hedges, and monsters, but you cannot use "Magic Spaces", Magic Space Pads (which we invented), or pass through "Magic Doors". You also cannot collect objects from the board or win the game until the magic wears off, because (we reasoned) you need a physical body to do these things. If the dice indicates your mystery potion is Ghost Magic (the blue tile), you should turn into a ghost for three turns.
If you land on the neon yellow Transformation Sludge stone, it turns you into a monster with a strength of three. As a monster, the other players may be forced to battle you anywhere on the gameboard if the two of you are on adjacent spaces or if either of you attempt to land on the same space. Unlike other monsters, you continue to move around the board as other players do, but you cannot collect items or win the game as long as you remain a monster. And unlike other monsters, you cannot be taken off the board after you've been defeated. (You won't lose any health as long as you remain a monster, and you don't have to fight other monsters.) Other players may choose to use the antidote to cure you of being a monster, or you could buy the antidote from another player. Rolling the dice to the translucent neon yellow grill means the Mystery Potion is the antidote. ...But if you don't need the antidote, maybe it could allow you to turn another player into a monster?
The Evil Eye is poisonous. Once you've been poisoned, you will lose a health point on every turn as long as you remain poisoned. In the standard Heroica rules, a player who has lost all their health cannot advance until he or she recovers full health. Once you lose all your health from poison, you'll stay that way as long as you remain poisoned, which is a serious problem. To stop the effect of the poison, you'll need the antidote potion! We used a translucent purple conical piece with an opaque purple round piece as the stopper to indicate the antidote. Taking the antidote will not restore your health, it will only stop the poison. But the standard rules of healing/health recovery will once again apply to you!
No one ever dies, in this game.
The purple tile on the dice corresponds to the Evil Eye. So if your Mystery Potion is purple, you may take the antidote or choose to poison another player, depending on your need. But if you land on the Evil Eye stone, you get poisoned.
Each bottle of Jolt Juice contains lightning in a bottle, corresponding to the green Jolt of Power stone. We created little vials of Jolt Juice using green translucent cylinders and translucent yellow round pieces as stoppers (they were not neon yellow). You can use Jolt Juice to reduce the strength of a monster by one point. We weren't really sure what the stone should do that the potion does not... But if you roll the dice to the green tile, your Mystery Potion becomes a vial of Jolt Juice.
Magic Doors, Magic Spaces, Magic Space Pads! Oh, my!
...And a little Magic Wand, too.
The standard Heroica gameboard includes "Magic Doors" and "Magic Spaces". It is impossible for a player to move through a "Magic Door". So if a space on the gameboard has the translucent blue axe on it, this is an impassable obstacle. If a player lands on a "Magic Space", indicated by the translucent blue disc (it's the short one, and a deeper blue hue), he or she may choose to move any "Magic Door" on the board to an unoccupied dark grey space.
We added Magic Space Pads to our gameboard, indicated by the translucent blue cylindrical piece (it has a two-by-two top surface). When the player ends their move (or lands) on the Magic Space Pad, he or she may choose to move a "Magic Door", or instantly transport to any "Magic Space" or Magic Space Pad, anywhere on the board. We also decided that crossing a Magic Space Pad during your movement (the third space, perhaps, on a move of six spaces) allows the player to instantly pick up that movement on another "Magic Space" or Magic Space Pad, as though teleporting in the middle of your movement. But arrival at the magical destination space does not allow the player to immediately repeat any of these abilities. The player will have to leave the space and return to it if they want to use it, again.
Possession of the Magic Wand allows the player to move a Magic Space Pad to any location on the gameboard. Only Magic Space Pads can be moved. After a single use, the wand must return to the board, the box, or the store, depending on any agreement made by the players at the start of the game. (The small translucent blue round piece could indicate where the wand goes back to on the board.) Since Magic Space Pads are basically shortcuts to different areas of the board, the ability to move one around with the Magic Wand is an immensely desirable power! So be careful about making agreements before you begin. Good rules will help to prevent any one player from gaining an unfair advantage!

GM and Japanese supplier Takata Corp. developed the airbag over a three-year period.
DETROIT -- General Motors plans to offer a center airbag between the front seats that is designed to protect the driver and front passenger in side-impact crashes.
The airbag is on the right side of the driver's seat and inflates between the front seats during a side-impact crash.
The airbag will be introduced on the 2013 Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse crossovers. It will be standard on all Enclaves, and on Acadia and Traverse models with power seats.
Side-impact crashes accounted for 11 percent of the belted front occupant fatalities in nonrollover impacts between 2004 and 2009, according to the U.S: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's fatality analysis reporting system database. The impacts involved 1999 model or newer vehicles.
GM said fatalities in which the occupant is on the nonstruck side of the vehicle represent 29 percent of all the belted front occupant fatalities in side impacts.
"The front center airbag is not required by federal regulation, and no other airbag in passenger vehicles today offers the type of restraint and cushioning this airbag is designed to provide for front occupants," said Scott Thomas, senior staff engineer in GM's advanced restraint systems, in a statement.
"The front center airbag has real potential to save lives in side crashes," Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said in a statement. "GM and Takata are to be commended for taking the lead in this important area."

However, Lexi Thompson and the 4-stroke penalty she got are what the golf community is talking about.

The first LPGA major tournament of the season, the ANA Inspiration, ended in a sudden-death playoff with 26-year-old South Korean So Yeon Ryu emerging as the winner on the first playoff hole over Lexi Thompson. However, a controversial 4-stroke penalty that got handed to Thompson was the focus of the golf community.
Viewers at home should not be officials wearing stripes. Let's go @Lexi, win this thing anyway.

Thompson's 4-stroke penalty
On the walk between the 12th and 13th holes in the final round Lexi Thompson got informed by rules officials that she would be assessed a 4-stroke penalty.
The penalty came on the 17th green the previous day when a television viewer e-mailed officials to alert them that Thompson had marked her ball and then placed it improperly. The viewer said Thompson had placed her ball back an inch from where it had been before her 1-foot putt. However, the LPGA did not decide on a penalty until Sunday and informed Thompson, who asked "Is this a joke?" She got penalized two strokes for incorrect ball placement and two more for signing an incorrect scorecard.

What happened after the penalty
This turned Lexi Thompson's two-stroke lead into a two-stroke deficit with only six holes remaining.
She gathered herself quickly and bounced back to birdie the next hole. Thompson got to the 18th hole one shot behind Ryu, with the crowd chanting her name in support. Thompson then hit this amazing shot that landed on the 18th green with a chance at a long eagle to win the tournament that she barely missed.
WHAT. A. SHOT. @Lexi will have that left for eagle at 18 pic.twitter.com/IXY1iSIfnV
— Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) April 3, 2017
The tournament then went into a sudden death playoff with So Yeon Ryu making birdie on the first hole to win the LPGA's first major of the year.
Hopefully Thompson can bounce back and win a major this year after this controversial heartbreak.
Ryu's major win and South Korean dominance
For So Yeon Ryu, this is her second major win, with her first having come back in 2011 when she won the U.S. Women's Open. It is also the 17th career win as a professional for the number five ranked golfer in the world.
This is her first win this year after two second place finishes. Ryu's win now means that South Korean golfers have won more than fifty percent of the recent majors, having won 13 of the last 25.

This directive was canceled on March 20, 2000.
Based on preliminary results of recent research and the actual observations in the field, the use of electro-slag \weldments on main structural tension members will not be permitted on Federal-aid projects. This restriction will continue until such time as the quality of this weld can be insured by possible modification in the welding process and/or improvement in the inspection and quality control procedures which appear necessary at this time.
Because the economic advantage of this type of weld will be lost by this restriction, other types of welding processes in thicker material will become costly and provide opportunity for welding complications. Accordingly, the use of main member tension material in excess of 2-inch thickness is to be avoided wherever possible by modification in the structural components or in the material makeup of the individual structural member.
The above restriction will be applicable to future projects and those currently in the design, bidding, and construction stages, effective as of the date of this bulletin.
Nonredundant main load carrying tension members in existing structures that are known to have been welded with electro-slag process should be subjected to rigorous NDT(radiography and ultrasonic) inspection as soon as possible.

Quel'Delar: The Sister Blade

The original article from Oct 30, 2009, formerly located at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p3/queldelar.xml, did not survive the overhaul of the World of Warcraft Official Website.

In ages past the great Dragon Aspects worked alongside the night elves to forge powerful prismatic blades that could be used to thwart any evil that came into the world. They would become known as the blades of Quel'Serrar. One of these blades, which had become lost in time, was recently unearthed again by brave heroes of Azeroth. Now rediscovered, Quel'Serrar is revered once more as a mighty tool of raw power.
Its sister blade, however, has not been seen for many years...
The sword known as Quel'Delar was held by the group of kaldorei who would eventully become the high elves, and it was handed down from generation to generation. Most recently Quel'Delar was wielded by the valiant high elven warrior Thalorien Dawnseeker. Thalorien fought tirelessly in the Troll Wars to defend his beloved home of Silvermoon, the Sunwell, and all of Quel'Thalas. When the Scourge swept through the lands during the Third War, Thalorien was among the last lines of defense for the Sunwell. Despite the sword's power, he was ultimately slain by the overwhelming might of Arthas and his legendary runeblade, Frostmourne. Quel'Delar was thought to be lost forever.
Following the destruction of their homeland, the determined blood elves began to regroup and rebuild. It was during this time that the battle-hardened warrior Lana'thel stumbled upon Quel'Delar, and soon afterward the greatest opportunity to use the blade presented itself: Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider raised an army and combined forces with Illidan Stormrage, who led them north to Icecrown on a mission to destroy the Lich King. Lana'thel readily followed her prince with one thought in mind -- revenge against the Scourge -- but only tragedy awaited her.
In the icy hills of Northrend, Arthas ultimately defeated Illidan and Kael'thas, and the expedition's few survivors were scattered across the frozen wastes. One by one the Lich King sought out those who had challenged him, and Lana'thel found herself cornered. Using Quel'Delar, she struck at him with all her might... but Frostmourne's evil powers overwhelmed her. Through his blade, the Lich King chose Lana'thel to serve him in undeath as queen of the San�layn, a group responsible for overseeing the Scourge's operations across Azeroth.
Queen Lana'thel eagerly carried out her new duties, but every time she looked at her blade, maddening anger would swell within her as she remembered her former life. She could not afford such distractions, and with a scream that echoed throughout Icecrown, she shattered Quel'Delar and flung the fractured pieces as far as she could.
The champions of the Alliance and the Horde who confront the Lich King's armies have but a slim chance of finding the pieces of this fabled blade. If they succeed, the heroes can embark on an epic adventure to re-forge Quel'Delar. They will require the strongest materials and a source of great power to make this shattered blade into the fearsome weapon it once was. Several classes can use Quel'Delar, and the sword can fit several different play styles. For any class that is unable to wield it, however, the Sunreaver blood elves and the Silver Covenant high elves will gladly take this relic of their history in exchange for a usable weapon.
The search begins soon...

Sasaki Kojirō (Japans: 佐々木 小次郎), alias Ganryū Kojirō, was een samoerai die leefde tijdens de Sengokuperiode en vroege Edoperiode. Hij stierf tijdens een duel met Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵, 1584-1645), een samoerai met een unieke vechtstijl en zwaardkunst.

Biografie

Afkomst
Over de afkomst van Kojirō heerst enige twijfel en weinig is zeker. Dit komt omdat de meeste teksten die naar hem verwijzen pas in de vroege Edoperiode zijn geschreven, lang na zijn dood. Vaak spreken de bronnen elkaar tegen en steeds wordt er vaag naar hem verwezen, door gebruik te maken van namen als Ganryū, Sasaki Koshirō of Sasaki Koshirau (佐々木 古志らう).

Wat het meeste vragen doet oproepen, is zijn leeftijd. Zowel zijn geboortedatum als leeftijd van overlijden zijn zo goed als onbekend. Volgens sommige bronnen zou hij tussen de 18 en de 60 jaar oud zijn geworden. Ook over zijn plaats van herkomst is enige controversie. Recente bronnen vermelden dat hij geboren werd in de Fukui prefectuur. Er bestaat ook een theorie die stelt dat hij geboren werd in de provincie Buzen, de toenmalige prefectuur Fukuoka.

Training in de weg van het zwaard
Tijdens zijn jeugd leerde hij de Chūjō-ryu (中条流) vechtstijl, een van de oudste kenjutsu. Zijn meester zou Toda Seigen (富田 勢源) zijn geweest, maar er zijn velen die geloven dat het diens leerling Kanemaki Jisai (鐘巻 自斎) was. Een van de redenen dat men eerder aansluit bij Toda is omdat dit mogelijk zijn voorkeur voor de nodachi (野太刀) en zijn vaardigheid met dit wapen zou verklaren. Toda Seigen was een expert in het gebruik van de nodachi, een langere variant van de katana.

Leven als samoerai
Nadat hij de broer van zijn meester had verslagen, richtte Kojirō zijn eigen school op. Naast het oprichten van een eigen school, leverden ook zijn duels hem faam op. Bijgevolg stelde Hosokawa Tadaoki, diep onder de indruk van Sasaki Kojirō's stijgende reputatie, hem aan tot instructeur in een regio ten noorden van Kyūshū.

Duel met Miyamoto Musashi
Kojirō werd gezien als de rivaal van Miyamoto Musashi (宮本武蔵) en zijn moeilijkste tegenstander ooit. Dit was ook het laatste duel dat Musashi ooit zou vechten. Het duel vond plaats op 13 april 1612 aan de kust van het eiland Funashima (船島) ten noorden van Kokura. Funashima werd later hernoemd tot Ganryujima (巌流島) ter ere van Kojirō en het duel. Over het verloop van het duel bestaan vele theorieën.

Algemeen aanvaarde versie
De algemene versie is te vinden in de Nitten-Ki (二天記) en Kensetsu. Musashi had gehoord over Kojirō en met behulp van Matsui Okinaga aan Hosokawa Tadaoki gevraagd om een duel te regelen. Heer Hosokawa ging hier op in en koos zelf de tijd en plaats. Hij zou het strand van Funashima hebben gekozen ter bescherming van Musashi omdat Kojirō veel studenten had die hem het leven zoude willen ontnemen indien hij won. Een afgelegen plek zou in zijn voordeel zijn in het geval hij moest vluchten.

Musashi kwam meer dan drie uur te laat voor het duel. Eens aangekomen op het strand per boot, begon hij Kojirõ te provoceren. Toen Kojirō in de aanval ging, kwam zijn aanval dicht genoeg om de chonmage van Musashi te raken. Toen Kojirō faalde Musashi's been te verwonden, werd hij verblind door de ondergaande zon achter Musashi en kreeg hij een fatale slag tegen de schedel van Musashi's bokken. Eens het gevecht beslist was, vluchtte Musashi naar de boot en wist dankzij het tij dat tijdens het gevecht gekeerd was te vluchten. De reden dat Musashi te laat kwam en vervolgens provoceerde, was om Kojirō op te jagen. De bokken had hij gemaakt van een spade terwijl hij op de boot zat als tegenmaatregel tegen Sasaki Kojirō's nodachi. Het zou een suburitō van minstens 90 centimeter lengte betreffen.

Andere theorieën en controverses
Het maken van een bokken terwijl hij op de boot zat, zou ten eerste erg vermoeiend geweest moeten zijn omdat het van een sterk soort hout zou zijn gemaakt, maar bovenal veel tijd moet hebben gekost. Ook is het onwaarschijnlijk dat Musashi kon weten wanneer het tij zou keren om te kunnen ontsnappen. Zeker als we in gedachte houden dat de duur van een gevecht relatief kort is, lijkt dit onmogelijk. Verder is het vreemd dat het eiland vernoemd is naar Kojirõ terwijl het Musashi was die had gewonnen.

Vooral over de leeftijd is er veel twijfel. Musashi zou ongeveer 29 jaar oud zijn geweest, terwijl Kojirõ 18 was. Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat Kojirõ al twee jaar eerder, op 16-jarige leeftijd begonnen was met samoerai van de Hosokawa-familie te onderwijzen in krijgskunst.

Volgens de 'Numata Keki' beschermde de Hosokawa-familie Musashi in het Moji-kasteel. Enkele dagen na het duel zouden een aantal samoerai met geweren Musashi naar het kasteel hebben geëscorteerd, want Kojirõ's studenten zouden wraak op hem genomen willen hebben. Musashi is echter een rōnin terwijl Kojirō hun familie diende.  Er was dus geen enkele reden om Musashi te beschermen. Velen geloven dat er een complot was en dat men een reden had om Kojirō van kant te maken. Het duel zou gefungeerd hebben als een dekmantel om Kojirō op een schalkse wijze om het leven te brengen en Musashi als dader aan te wijzen. Het is eventueel mogelijk dat de geweren van de samoerai tijdens de tocht, eerder dan om hem te beschermen, op Musashi gericht waren in het geval hij hen zou verraden.

Andere versie
Een geheel andere vertelling komt van Numata Nobumoto die toen een vazal was van Hosokawa-clan. Volgens hem waren de studenten van Musashi en Kojirō aan het ruziën over wiens meester de betere krijger was. Toen deze discussie uit de hand liep, besloten beide meesters het dispuut voor eens en altijd te beëindigen met een duel op Funashima. Beide waren niet van plan tot de dood te vechten. Eens Kojirō verslagen was, zou het gevecht vreedzaam zijn afgesloten. Maar terwijl Kojirō nog aan het bekomen was van de strijd, werd hij aangevallen en vervolgens vermoord door leerlingen van Musashi. Kojirō's studenten hielden Musashi verantwoordelijk voor het verlies van hun meester. Toen ze hem aanvielen, redde Nobumoto hem en wisten ze samen veilig het eiland te ontvluchten.

Monohoshi Zao
Kojirõ's gebruikte als wapen een nodachi met een rechte kling of een kling die zeer licht gebogen was voor zijn lengte. Een nodachi heeft een bladlengte van minstens 3 shaku, ongeveer 90 cm. De gebruikelijke bladlengte van een katana is minstens 2 shaku (ongeveer 60 cm). Hij noemde dit zwaard "Bizen Osafune Nagamitsu" (備前長船長光). Voor het duel met Miyamoto Musashi zou deze spottend zijn zwaard "Monohoshi Zao" hebben genoemd ( 物干し竿 letterlijk vertaald: "Droogstok"). Hiermee bedoelde Musashi dat het wapen niet geschikt was voor zwaardslagen omwille van de grootte ervan. Toch werd er gezegd dat Kojirõ in staat was om dit zware wapen met ongelofelijke snelheid en precisie te hanteren.

Tsubame Gaeshi
Een ander groot kenmerk van Kojirõ was de Tsubame Gaeshi ( 燕返し letterlijk vertaald: 'Zwaluw-terugkeer') techniek. Deze techniek zou sterk gelijken op de Kinshi Cho Ōken van de Ittō-ryū (一刀流) stijl en de Kosetsu To van de Ganryū-stijl. Daarom vermoedt men dat de techniek ook zou neerkomen op een snelle neerwaartse slag die meteen gevolgd wordt door een precieze opwaartse steek of slag. Ook in vele andere vechtstijlen vinden we nog steeds deze techniek terug onder verschillende namen.

Een andere mogelijkheid is dat het een defensief manoeuvre betreft dat gebruikt wordt wanneer de verdediger frontaal wordt aangevallen. Net voordat de aanvaller zijn slag raakt, wordt deze ontweken en met een precieze en dodelijk tegenaanval neergehaald. Omdat de timing van het ontwijken cruciaal is en de gebruiker hierdoor zijn leven op het spel zet vereist deze techniek veel vaardigheid om te beheersen.

Een legende zegt dat Kojirõ deze techniek heeft beoefend onder de Ichijō-waterval (一乗滝) in de prefectuur Fukui. Hij deed dit waarschijnlijk om te oefenen in het vlot uitvoeren van de techniek op een plaats waar veel afleiding was. Vandaar ook dat er een standbeeld van Sasaki Kojirõ kan gevonden worden nabij de waterval.

Beelden en kunst
Er bestaan twee gelijkende standbeelden van Kojirõ. Het eerste staat in de buurt van de Kintai brug. Het andere, waar ook Musashi staat op afgebeeld, bevindt zich op Ganryūjima en is een standbeeld ter ere van het duel tussen beide op dat eiland. Een derde beeld kan gevonden worden in Kojirō-park (小次郎公園). Dit standbeeld neemt een ander postuur aan dan de twee eerder vernoemde.

Film en fictie
Kojirō en zijn meest typerende kenmerken, namelijk zijn zwaard dat eerder "Monohoshi Zao" wordt genoemd dan bij de oorspronkelijke naam, en zijn signatuuraanval "Tsubame Gaeshi" komen veel terug in fictieve werken. Kojirō wordt daarbij meestal als basis genomen voor het hoofdpersonage waarbij er vervolgens fictieve elementen aan worden toegevoegd. Een andere tendens is dat Kojirō wordt uitgebeeld als een uiterst knap en getalenteerd persoon, ook al is hier geen feitelijke basis voor. De media waarin dit gebeurt zijn films, televisie series, boeken, manga's en games.

Een voorbeeld waarbij er incorrecte elementen werden toegevoegd om het verhaal interessanter te maken, is de manga 'Vagabond'. In deze manga is Kojirō een dove man, opgevoed door een gepensioneerde samoerai nadat deze hem gevonden heeft in zee. In Kabuki(歌舞伎) wordt het fictieve verhaal getiteld 'Ganryū' gespeeld. Ook in werken die over Miyamoto Musashi gaan, keert hij steeds terug als rivaal.

In de Japanstalige versie van Pokémon heet de mannelijke helft van 'Team Rocket' Kojirō, vernoemd naar Kojirō. Zijn vrouwelijke partner heet Musashi, vernoemd naar de persoon die hem heeft gedood. In andere talen werden hun namen veranderd naar Jessie en James.

St. George's has always been ahead of the curve - for almost 90 years we've been at the forefront of innovation in teaching and learning.
Our students live and learn in an environment that nurtures their natural curiosity through talking, listening, thinking, and doing.
A real, mutual respect exists between students, among colleagues, and especially in each student-teacher relationship.
St. George's Stories
I am a better person—and a better teacher myself—because of the teachers I had at St. George's.
When I joined the stage crew at St. George's, I had no idea that I was being introduced to a specialized craft that would one day become my career.
My homestay family says they're lucky to have me, but I always feel it's me who's lucky to have them.
It was kind of meant to be. The second I walked into St. George's, I thought, "Yes, this is the school for me."
Some people, if given enough time, can recall the names of one or two teachers who have had an impact on their lives. Some people might struggle to remember any teacher they had before university, and most people would be able to walk past their former teachers on the street and not even notice. I am one of those exceptionally fortunate people who can not only recall the names of most of my elementary and secondary school teachers, but can also say that I am a better person—and teacher myself—because of them.
I joined the stage crew in Grade 9 and within a year was stage managing the school play. At the time, I had no idea that I was being introduced to a specialized craft that would one day become my career. Today, I live in Manhattan and stage manage Broadway and National Touring productions across the United States. Last week I rehearsed "Dear Evan Hansen" in Manhattan, while tonight I'll be running the deck for the National Tour of "On Your Feet" in San Francisco. St. George's saw a potential skillset and nurtured it. The school tailored its curriculum to suit my individual needs and in doing so, set me up for a career that I love more than anything!
Our students are not just multifaceted - they're multi-fascinating.
At St. George's School of Montreal we're devoted to helping each of them uncover every aspect of the fascinating, passionate person within.

Q: How to delete rows fast if they have empty values at specific columns in Google App Script below is a code that checks if the cells at columns [G, H, J] are empty and delete the row where the the condition is true.
Nevertheless, the runtime of the code below is extremely slow, needs approx 15 minutes per 1500 table entries.
is there any way to optimise it ?
can I hash the rows that meet the condition below and then delete them all at once?
P.S: the original code can be found here https://gist.github.com/dDondero/285f8fd557c07e07af0e which I adapted it to my use case.
function deleteRows() {
    var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
    var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
    var lastRow =sheet.getRange(1,1).getDataRegion(SpreadsheetApp.Dimension.ROWS).getLastRow() + 1;
    var values = rows.getValues();
    var row;
    var rowsDeleted = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < lastRow; i++) {
      row = values[i];
      if (row[9] == '' && row[7] == '' && row[6] == ''
     ) {
        sheet.deleteRow((parseInt(i)+1) - rowsDeleted);
        rowsDeleted++;
      }
    }
  }

A: Try:
function DeleteEmptyRows() {

  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet()
  const values = sheet.getDataRange()
                      .getValues()
                      .filter(row => row[9] !== '' && row[7] !== '' && row[6] !== '')

  sheet.getDataRange().clearContent()

  return sheet.getRange(1, 1, values.length, values[0].length)
              .setValues(values)

}

If you have any background colors attached to rows, let me know and I can make an adjustment for you.
This code will filter out all rows with the empty cells specified, clear the sheet, and then set the values.

A: Delete rows
function deleteRows() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh = ss.getActiveSheet();
  const rg = sh.getDataRange();
  const vs = rg.getValues().filter(r => !(!r[6] || !r[7] || !r[9]));
  rg.clearContent();
  sh.getRange(1, 1, vs.length, vs[0].length).setValues(vs);
}

The City of Sundance will once again be issuing free landfill coupons to utility customers this year. The process was changed several years ago from a single "free landfill day" to give residents a longer period of time to bring their trash to the transfer station.
The change was made, said Mayor Paul Brooks, because the day always seemed to conflict with an event such as graduation or Mother's Day, or the weather decided it would be a good time to offer three days of rain.
The coupon will again be valid for two months: May and June.

California's Big Race to Succeed Schwarzenegger
Posted byadmin February 16, 2009
Ever since gold miners first scraped their fortunes out of the hills of northern California, America's most populous state has been a land of titanic dreams. These days, though, it's a place with even bigger problems. Its $42 billion budget deficit would make an out-of-control Hollywood director blush — and bankrupt a small nation. Its schools are failing, air quality is worsening, and unemployment neared 10% as of December. The only thing larger than its litany of woes, however, is the roster of big-name political celebrities who are testing the waters for a run for governor in 2010, when term limits show Arnold Schwarzenegger to the door.
"This is an era of limits," Jerry Brown recently told TIME, reprising a theme he sounded more than 30 years ago when the state first put him in the governor's mansion in the aftermath of Watergate and the last throes of Vietnam War. "There is not a lot of room for political maneuvering. The age of dividing up the easy surpluses is over. We've been on a borrowing binge, both in the private and public sector, and we're going to have to enter a time of belt-tightening."
Brown, 70 and himself a son of an iconic governor , is probably best known outside of California as a three-time Democratic presidential candidate and former long-time boyfriend of Linda Ronstadt. Currently, the state's attorney general, he has already added more than $3 million to his war chest, money easily enough transferred to a gubernatorial campaign when the time is right.
Not everyone is waiting. When Brown does enter the race he'll be facing another long-time Golden State political pro, Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi, a two-time former insurance commissioner and deputy U.S. interior secretary under President Clinton. "I am in. Period," Garamendi told TIME. California, Garamendi says, needs a leader who will put progressive back into the Golden State's political lexicon. Despite Schwarzenegger's swing to the middle recently, Garamendi said the governor has lost his ability to lead the state out of its troubles. His two terms, he said, "have been a failure of leadership."
Meanwhile, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, 41, another Democrat who has yet to officially enter the race, has been barnstorming across California holding town-hall style meetings. "We've done six and we have more scheduled," he said recently, taking a late-night break on the side of the road to talk politics with TIME for 45 minutes. "And I just can't believe how engaged, and how passionate, the voters are at each and every place we go. They are hungry for change."
Like Brown, he says California is in bad shape. But he adds that he'll offer a more hopeful message than one anchored by austerity. "There are two ways to respond to our current crisis," he said. "One, we can cut our way out. But then we enter a downward spiral of disinvestment. The other is we can grow our way out of our problems. That's where I am. This state has such amazing capacity for change, for economic development. We need a strategy to grow."
The state that once drew people from all over the world to create Silicon Valley, the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley and Hollywood, now sees too many of its best people leave. To stop that, Newsom hopes to borrow a page from last year's Obama campaign. On the floor of the Democratic National Convention last summer, Newsom told TIME that he wanted to run in 2010, but first wanted to see if voters embraced Obama's campaign of youth and generational chance. "I think we've had an answer to that, back in November," Newsom said in his recent interview. "Youthfulness and hope — it's also who I am naturally. I was 35 when I ran for mayor of San Francisco [in 2003]. Youthfulness is not a chronological date, it's about a state of mind, it's the quality of your imagination."
Another big-city mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, could shake up the already crowded Democratic field as soon as this spring. Villaraigosa, 56, is expected to easily win a second term March 3. After that, an aide tells TIME, he can turn his attention to whether he will run for governor. "He has said on the record that he doesn't know yet, but when he decides, he'll do what's best for the people of California."
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the state's most popular politician, has been coy about her own intentions regarding the race. She'd make a powerful candidate, but others doubt she'll give up her power in the Senate.
Whichever of the Democrats wins the primary, he or she will likely face tough competition from Schwarzenegger's party, where two billionaires and a former Silicon Valley congressman are already sizing each other up. Former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell and state insurance commissioner — and tech billionaire — Steve Poizner have formed exploratory committees and are expected to make the race.
Last Monday, former eBay CEO Meg Whitman shook up the potential GOP primary line-up by forming her own gubernatorial exploratory committee. Already equipped with a powerful roster of statewide co-chairs and political endorsements — and her own history of big-time fundraising — the Whitman development looked anything but exploratory. Whitman, 52, was a national co-chair and money magnet for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008. In a statement, she said, "California faces challenges unlike any other time in its history — a weak and faltering economy, massive job losses, and an exploding state budget deficit. California is better than this, and I refuse to stand by and watch it fail. Now is the time for people across the state to join a cause for change, excellence and a new California."
Brown, who expects the billionaires on the other side to make it a race, says he's betting that voters aren't looking for a new California. Ideas, even if borrowed from an earlier time, will be fine, just so long as they work. "They want a campaign based on hope, but grounded in common sense," he says. "They don't need a grab bag of alluring ideas. They want realism."
Whatever it is Californians want, the only thing they can be sure they'll get is a long campaign to sell them a candidate who can try to deliver the goods.
