21 Unforgettable Hairstyles
From Greta Garbo to Jennifer Aniston, take a look at the unforgettable hairstyles through the decades.

Some hairstyles stand the test of time while others do not. No matter what the latest trend happens to be, hairstyles are a reflection of who we are as individuals and as a culture on the whole. See the next few pages for a selection of hairstyles from the 1930s and beyond, complete with a few questionable choices like the mullet and mohawk along with celebrity cuts that started fads.

1. The Finger Wave: Curls and waves were in fashion in the 1930s. Often hailed as the most tasteful decade, the 1930s found women styling themselves after the stars of the burgeoning Hollywood film industry. Think Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, and Carole Lombard, who all kept their hair short to mid-length, wavy, and styled for maximum sex appeal.

2. The Veronica Lake: The smoky, alluring look of this 1940s screen siren was identifiable by miles of long, wavy blonde hair that covered one eye. This was the hairstyle of a star; everyday women opted for a shorter, shoulder-length version of the wavy style.
3. The Rosie the Riveter: Rosie was a popular icon during the war era when many women pinned their long hair back and covered it with a bandanna while working inside or outside the home.
4. The Cary Grant: The movies struck again, influencing the men's hairstyle of the time. This was a precise cut with a severe side part and a whole lot of styling wax to make it shine. The look was suave and debonair, just like Grant himself.

5. The Bouffant: When the salon-sized hair dryer was unveiled to the beauty industry, the possibilities seemed endless. Updos and blow-dried styles were literally taken to new heights as the bouffant and the beehive created big, round silhouettes on the head.
6. The Bardot: The bombshell's film performances were only part of the reason women emulated Bardot's hairstyle -- a sexy mess of long, strawberry blonde tresses. Bardot was the antithesis of the beehive and other hairstyles of the era that represented the repressed side of women at the time.
7. The Pompadour: This was the era when T-shirts and jeans became the uniform of young men everywhere. And the pompadour, popularized by James Dean and Elvis Presley, was the haircut that went with it. Closely cut in the back, the top and sides were kept a little longer and combed up and back with hair gel for added shine. The look was masculine and instantly iconic.
The Beatles had a huge influence on popular culture, including this hairstyle called the Mop Top.
8. The Flip: This spunky, youthful style was mega-popular among hordes of modern women throughout the 1960s. Shoulder-length hair was back-combed or teased slightly at the top, then the ends were curled up in a "flip" with rollers or a curling iron. Depending on the age of the woman and her willingness to push the envelope, the flip was combined with the bouffant, which meant that it got bigger and puffier. Mary Tyler Moore sported the classic flip on The Dick Van Dyke Show, and Jackie Kennedy had her own more conservative version, too. Later, the style became so ubiquitous it was nicknamed "beauty pageant hair" or "Miss America hair," because for years nearly every contestant sported flip after perfect flip.
9. The Pixie: The pin-up figure went out of style when long, lean supermodel Twiggy came on the scene in the 1960s. Women everywhere tried to emulate her silhouette -- and her hair. It took a reported eight hours to create the style on Twiggy the first time, almost as long as it took to put on all those fake eyelashes. The pixie was cut over the ears, with slightly longer hair on the top of the head. The defining feature was the close-cropped layers that framed the face.
10. The Mop Top: The influence of The Beatles on popular culture was unlike anything the world had ever seen. Girls and boys alike mimicked the boyish charm of these Liverpool lads, especially when it came to hairstyles. Longer, over the ears, shaggy, and generally floppy on all sides, the mop top was also sported by another mega-band of the time, The Rolling Stones.

11. The Farrah Fawcett: This iconic hairstyle, made famous by Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett, came to a soft point at the top of the head, creating a triangular silhouette with long, feathered flips cascading down the sides and the back. This hairdo was revived in the 2000s as part of a retro '70s and '80s fashion trend.
12. The No-Cut Haircut: If you were a guy in the 1970s who didn't like getting a haircut, you were in luck. As the decade marched on, men simply stopped cutting their hair. Whether they were influenced by the free-loving culture of the hippies, growing antiwar sentiment, or just plain laziness, men's hair reached new lengths during this era.

13. Rock Hair: Many of the hairstyle changes and fashion trends in the 1980s had to do with the music of the era. "Hair bands" were so named because of their long, voluminous hair, which was often teased or permed. Heavy metal bands such as Motley Crue, Poison, and Bon Jovi helped popularize this look for both men and women.
14. The Mullet: No one can be totally sure when this notorious hairstyle originated, but its popularity soared in the 1980s. The mullet was achieved by cutting hair short and spiky or feathered on the top and sides of the head and keeping it shoulder-length or longer in the back.
15. The Rat-Tail: Popular with young men (and some women) of the '80s, this style was characterized by hair cut short all over except for a long strip of hair (usually 1/2- to 1-inch wide) growing from the nape of the neck and dangling down the back. Rat-tails were typically 4- to 12-inches in length and were often braided.
16. The Mohawk: The Mohawk had its roots in Native American culture but was popular with punk rockers in the '80s. Punk hairstyles in the UK and America reflected the attitude of these antiestablishment youngsters; hair was spiked, sprayed, shaved, and often multi-colored and sent a clear message: We're not like you.
17. The Meg Ryan: Immortalized by the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally, Meg Ryan's tousled, permed locks were all the rage for women everywhere. Hairstylists reportedly did very little else for a period of several years, since women seemed to only want the spiral curls, highlights, and layered cut made famous by elite hairstylist Sally Hershberger.

18. The Rachel: Unless you lived under a rock in the mid-1990s, you knew about the group of Friends that hung out on the NBC sitcom for ten seasons. Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel spawned legions of hair clones. This long- to medium-length style was cut with many different layers in order to frame the face and give a woman's hair a full, healthy look.
19. The Fade: The early 90s brought hip-hop culture to the masses and the high-top fade haircut came with it. Popularized by rap duo Kid 'N Play, the fade was cut like a flattop but with the sides and back gradually fading from thickness at the top all the way to bare skin. Largely sported by African-American males, men of all ethnic backgrounds gave it a try, often with mixed results.

20. The Faux-Hawk: Want the edgy look of a Mohawk but don't want to go all the way? Welcome the faux-hawk! By slicking back (or close-shaving) the sides of the hair, a fake or "faux" Mohawk can be achieved. Scores of fashionistas, both male and female, have gotten a lot of mileage out of this look in the early 21st century.
21. The Chelsea: With roots in punk rock culture, this haircut refers to the Chelsea district in London, a popular hangout for punks. But in the UK, this radical cut is called "the feather cut." In the style of many of today's haircuts, this look is one worn by both males and females. This style is achieved by shaving the entire head, except for the bangs and a little on the right and left sides of the head.

Mercedes resigned to Singapore struggles
Lewis Hamilton says his team's Singapore struggles are the result of the same inherent car problems that have plagued Mercedes at the tropical street circuit since 2014.
Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas qualified fifth and sixth, 0.635 and 1.319 seconds off Sebastian Vettel's pole time.
Despite enjoying a three-year period of unchallenged dominance, Mercedes has always lacked ultimate competitiveness in Singapore, most famously in 2015, when it qualified fifth and sixth from where neither car could make it to the top three.
Mercedes's issues with streets circuits have been a major weakness in 2017, but since its woeful Monaco Grand Prix, the only race this year in which neither silver car has finished on the podium, the team worked hard to rectify the car's incompatibilities with slow-speed circuits.
Singapore, however, remains seemingly unobtainable for the team, and Hamilton confirmed the car is suffering from the same problems.
"Exactly the same — same things we've had for years," he said. "The car, with the way it has been designed for years, it just doesn't work particularly great here.
"They [Ferrari and Red Bull Racing] are in a different place with their cars. Obviously half a second is a good chunk of time.
"We just lack enough grip here to be able to take the car."
The Briton, however, refused to take a pessimistic outlook, noting that his qualifying performance had not been lacking despite his slow car.
"All my laps very much the same; I got everything out of all the laps.
"That qualifying session was just as strong as ones where I've actually qualified pole.
"While it doesn't really show, it was a really strong session for me. Generally qualifying's been really strong this year, I'd say.
"If I keep that, then I know that when the car does come to us, hopefully I'll be able to execute and the result will show it."
Hamilton's gap to Bottas behind him is evidence of the Briton's claims to have maximised the car's performance.
Bottas, 41 points behind his teammate in the championship and almost certainly discounted from the title chase, was confused by his lack of pace.
"Actually it felt like I was having some good laps," he said.
"I always kind of know that with an absolutely perfect lap of mine how much I could go quicker ideally, but it was just confusing that the gap was so great, because I didn't think it was possible for me.
"It's difficult to put it only down to confidence. It felt like I was driving okay and could trust the car, but I just couldn't find any more out of the car."
The Finn credited his inability to hone the car's setup as the chief cause of his problems after swinging between something close to his teammate's configuration and a series of dramatically different arrangements.
The result of the confusion is that Bottas goes into the race unsure of his prospects.
"I have to say I don't go into tomorrow with great confidence with the pace," he said. "At this point I'm not going into tomorrow thinking I'm going to have a massive pace advantage to the cars ahead, so we just really need to go lap by lap."
However, he added that he wouldn't allow himself to become downcast by Saturday's results.
"I just need to reset. Of course it is disappointing to be so way off the pace, but I never have problems resetting for a new day.
"It is a new day, and it doesn't help at all thinking too much about the struggles. I just need to go with a neutral mindset and a good, positive approach, always thinking anything is possible, because that's the truth — you never know what opportunities come to you.
"Sometimes by magic the pace can be good. You never know."

Never again.....Price is ok but everything else was not good. The taste was very disappointing. The last time we went there everything was great but i guess the owner changed like the interior..... very sad!
Food was average - fine but nothing special. Prices are ok for a location in the main square. But slightly above what we paid elsewhere in the side streets. Lots of locals, but they seemed to be drinking rather than eating.
We were looking for a good restaurant on the main place of Češka Budejovice. And by random we tried this one. Excellent food. Quite affordable. Pizza and lasagna were very tasty. Excellent. Fast service.
We ordered the Capriciosa pizza to share along with limonada. Service was fine, pizza good and drink refreshing. The location to the town centre square also was great because we were riding our bikes. There are many eateries around the area.
I guess this is a standard place for standard lunch time. Nothing special. I will try it next time and will see if it deserve more than 3stars. At the moment 3* is maximum i can give. But try it and write comment.

Opinion|Phil Paleologos: Reliving Blizzard Of '78
Feb. 6 marks 40 years since the Blizzard of '78. Do you know anyone who was there and has a story to tell?
Other than a Super Bowl, nothing around here bring our neighbors together like a bad storm. Today the Blizzard of 1978 has stored away in memory banks, but I'm bringing out this week.
Let's begin on Jan. 20, 1978, when the National Weather Service in Taunton said to keep an eye out on a storm that was supposed to be an all rain event but instead turned into two-foot snowfall which set the stage for the ensuing disaster that followed two weeks later. This forerunner to the Blizzard of '78 had brought so much snow that the roof of the Hartford Civic Center actually caved in from the weight.
By 1 p.m. on Feb. 6, snow began falling at an alarming rate-up to 3 inches an hour in some places. What may have begun as a fun adventure was getting downright scary trapping drivers in their cars as the winds began to howl upwards of 70 miles per hour. Some would end up spending days in those automobiles and a few would not make it out alive.
Advance warning was lacking because satellite technology was still in its infant stage. Radio and television were the only way people got information. I was on-the-air at WNBH in New Bedford. Our news department was constantly giving out non-stop weather material. I was fielding phone calls about needing and giving help and generally trying to keep my listeners' company.
As I answered the on-air phone call from a panicking young mother, she sounded desperate that her infant baby needed food and she had run out of the formula. I can't remember what I told her but a minute didn't pass when a doctor called in. His voice could calm the rough seas. He explained what everyday ingredients the mother could mix together to create a concoction to help sustain and nurture her baby.
The lesson learned from just that one phone call reminds me of a community's finest hour during a storm. That people become supportive, caring and cherubic, at least during events like the Blizzard of '78.
It's a little sad how quickly we revert back to our normal selves once the snow has been plowed away.

From Forza Italian Football site, here is the Season Preview: Serie A 2016-17 (by Kevin Pogorzelski at forzaitalianfootball.com).
The 3 promoted clubs in the 2016-17 Serie A (Cagliari, Crotone, Pescara)…
Cagliari won the 2015-16 Serie B. Crotone finished in 2nd place in the 15/16 Serie B. Pescara won the 15/16 Serie B play-offs.
• Cagliari
Manager: Massimo Rastelli (age 47, born in Torre de Greico [12 mi SE of Naples]).
(Note: Cagliari is pronounced kaay AA ree [the G and the L are silent]; see/hear this.)
Cagliari Calcio are from the island of Sardinia (which is in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, about 240 miles off the Italian mainland). Cagliari, who play in a 16-K-capacity stadium (Stadio Sant'Elia), are the only club from Sardinia to have played in the Italian 1st division. The club is located in Cagliari (the largest city of Sardinia), which is on the southern coast of the island. Cagliari has a city population of around 154,000, and a metro-area population of around 451,000 {2015 figures}. The city of Cagliari is, by air, 413 km (257 mi) SW of Rome.
Cagliari won the 2015-16 Serie B by a point (and finished in the automatic places by a solid ten points over the 3rd place finishers). So Cagliari returns in strong form straight back up to the 1st division. Here is an article on the 16/17 Cagliari squad, Reasons To Believe Cagliari Can Defend Their Serie A Status (by Louis Gibberd-Thomas at forzaitalianfootball.com).
Counting the 2016-17 season, Cagliari have played 37 seasons in the Italian 1st division, which is the 13th-most, by club, in Italy. {See this, Serie A/Seasons in Serie A.} Cagliari's previous stint in Serie A was for 11 seasons (from 2004-05 to 2014-15). The Rossoblu (the Red-Blue), as Calgiari are sometimes known, have been in existence since 1920.
Cagliari: the improbable title-winners of 1969-70…
Cagliari were historically a third-division club – or at best a second-division club…until the mid-1960s. Cagliari first won promotion to Serie A in June 1964. Then, 6 seasons later, led by goal-scoring powerhouse Luigi Riva, the side from the isolated island of Sardinia won the 1969-70 Italian title, in a very convincing fashion.
Luigi Riva was born in Leggiuno (near Lake Maggiore) in north-west Lombardy, near the Swiss border. In 1962 Riva got his start with nearby 3rd-division club Legnano. In the following season of 1963-64, Riva was signed by then-second-division Cagliari, and he was converted from a winger to a striker. Riva ended up playing 9 seasons for Cagliari, scoring 164 goals in 315 league appearances (1963 to 1976). (Riva was sold to Juventus in 1973, but had such loyalty to Cagliari that he famously refused to board the airplane for Turin, and the deal was nullified.) Riva was a natural left-footer and was very effective in the air {check out this brilliant horizontal header Riva scored for Italy versus East Germany in 1969, here}. (Luigi Riva ended up with some pretty impressive international stats…he scored 35 goals in 45 appearances for Italy.) Owing to his powerfully struck shots, Riva was nicknamed the Thunder-Clap (Rombo di Tuono). In 1969-70, Riva scored a league-best 21 goals in 30 games in Cagliari's title-winning season (back then, Serie A had 16 teams in it).
The year before (1967-68), the Serie A title was a three-horse-race between Milan, Fiorentina, and Cagliari, with Cagliari losing out to Fiorentina by 4 points. In 1969-70, the title-race developed into three-way fight between Juventus, Internazionale, and Cagliari. Cagliari's manager was the wily Manilo Scopigno, who was a native of far-north-eastern Italy in Friuli. Scopigno had Cagliari play in a variation of the newfangled Dutch total football, with a then-novel use of the sweeper position (the libero) in front of the defensive line (that role was performed by Pierluigi Cera; see photo below). Cagliari's defense was led by starting Italy goalkeeper Enrico "Ricky" Albertosi, who had been lured over from Fiorentina in 1968. With Albertosi, the Cagliari defense was so impregnable that they only let in 11 goals in 30 games in 1969-70. That made for an astounding average of just 0.36 goals allowed per game, an all-time Italian 1st division record. Another key player for Cagliari was the Brazilian defensive midfielder Nene, who had played with Pele at Santos, and then came over to Italy first with Juventus, and then with Cagliari. Nene played for over a decade for Cagliari (1964-76) (you can see Nene below in the squad-photo, below, at the far upper-left). With the addition of right-winger/playmaker Albero Domenghini (who also can be seen in a photo below), it all came together for Cagliari in 1969-70. By March of 1970, Cagliari began to pull away from the pack, and in the end, the Rossoblu managed to clinch the title with two games to spare, on 12 April 1970 with a 2-0 win over Bari. Below you can see photos from that game. Then the inhabitants of the island of Sardinia celebrated and partied on, for days. Cagliari finished four points ahead of Inter and 7 ahead of Juventus.
The late 1960s was a time when many Sardinians did not have televisions or even radios. Many Sardinians in fact did purchase their first transistor radios in order to follow Cagliari's title-run that season. It is said that Sardinia first united as an island and truly joined the modern age – and truly joined Italy, for that matter – when Cagliari won the Scudetto in 1970. Here is a great article on Cagliari's amazing title-winning season, Cagliari 1969-70 (by Jon Spurling, from August 2007, at wsc.co.uk). {Here is a highly recommended book about Italian football which touches on the Cagliari title-win, Calcio: A History of Italian Football, by John Foot (amazon.com).}

• Crotone
Manager: Davide Nicola (age 43, born in Luserna San Giovanni [45 kn (21 mi) SW of Turin), Piedmont). Nicola replaces Croatian ex-Genoa and ex-Crotone player Ivan Jurić, who had gotten Crotone promoted in May 2016 (Jurić is now manager of Genoa).
Here is a preview of the 2016-17 FC Crotone, Crotone ultimate underdogs (by Colin Millar at football-italia.net).
FC Crotone have never been in the top flight previous to 2016-17. The club is from Calabria, near the toe of the boot in the far south of the Italian Peninsula. They have a rather small stadium (former capacity, 9.5 K), which is being expanded to 16.5 K. It is called Stadio Enzo Scida. FC Crotone wear Bologna-style kits (red-and-dark-blue vertically striped jerseys). {Here is an interesting article on Crotone from 1 June 2016, An Underdog's Triumph: Fabulous FC Crotone's promotion highlights Italy's north-south divide (by Franco Ficetola at just-football.com).)
The small city of Crotone has a population of around 62,000 {2016 figure}. Two thousand seven hundred years ago, in 710 BC, as part of Magna Graecia, Crotone was settled, as Croton, by the Peloponnese Greeks (in pre-Roman times). And so one of the nicknames of FC Crotone is Pitagorici (the Pythagoreans), a reference to the great philosopher-and-mathematician Pythagorus, who founded his school (the Pythagoreans), in Croton circa 530 BC. Another nickname of FC Crotone is Squali (the Sharks), and on FC Crotone's crest you can see two sharks swimming around a giant flaming torch (which is physically impossible but makes for a nice image) {crest of FC Crotone}. Crotone are also known as the Rosso-blu.
The deck is seriously stacked against a small club like Crotone surviving in Serie A, and I hope Crotone don't go straight back down - like two other recently-promoted clubs. That would be Frosinone and Carpi, both of whom made their Serie A debuts in 2015-16, and both of whom went straight back down to the 2nd division ten months later.
It certainly is not helping that Crotone have had to play their first 3 home matches 279 miles away - in Pescara - because their stadium expansion has not been finished in time. Crotone have drawn less than one thousand for these games, and in their latest loss, 1-3 to Atalanta on 23 September, there were just 521 in attendance.

• Pescara
Manager: Massimo Oddo (age 40, born in Città Sant'Angelo, 14 km (9 mi) NW of Pescara). Oddo was a right-back with a long first-division career at Verona, Lazio, Milan, and Bayern Munich. Oddo retired from the pitch in 2012 with Lecce, then went into coaching as Genoa youth team coach. He was hired as an assistant coach at his home-town Pescara in 2014, and stepped in as caretaker in May 2015, when Pescara had failed to make the 14/15 Serie B play-offs. The following season (2015-16), Oddo got Pescara promoted back to Serie A with a 3-1 aggregate win over Trapani in the 15/16 Serie B play-off Finals. {See this, Pescara promoted to Serie A after beating Trapani in playoff final (espnfc.com).}
Delfino Pescara 1936 wear sky-blue-and-white vertically-striped jerseys, and as their moniker suggests, are nicknamed Delfini (the Dolphins). Counting 2016-17, Pescara have spent 7 seasons in Serie A; their previous spell was for a single season in 2012-13. Their Stadio Adriatico, which has a 20.5 K-capacity, unfortunately has an atmosphere-destroyng running track.
Here is a preview of the 2016-17 Pescara...Sink or swim for Delfini (by Rossella Marrai-Ricco at football-italia.net).
Pescara is on the Adriadtic Sea in the region of Abruzzo. Pescara has a city-population of around 123,000 and a metro-population of around 450,000 {2009 figures}. Pescara has 30 kilometres of beaches, and is a tourist destination. The coastal part of Abruzzo is sort of similar to Los Angeles/southern California - not for the lifestyle, but for the fact that much like in LA, in Abruzzo you could lay on the beach in the morning and in the afternoon you could be skiing the nearby slopes. Except in Abruzzo, the distance from the beautiful beaches to the snowy high mountains is only a distance of about 32 km (20 mi). As it says in Pescara's wikipedia page, "The city is very close to the mountains, and you can reach the ski slopes of Passo Lanciano in just 30 minutes." (See photo below, which shows Pescara's marina with the one-and-a-half-mile-high peaks of the Central Apennines in the distance.)

Extra feature…
The ongoing upgrades in Italian first division stadiums…
First it was Juventus who lead the way to a re-think in Italian stadium design, with their magnificent Juventus Stadium (which opened in 2011). Not only does Juventus Stadium have all the modern conveniences, but it also features steep-graded stands for better sight-lines and no accursed running track. And unlike every other top flight stadium at the time, Juventus Stadium is owned by the club (and not the municipality). Like in England and Germany and Spain and France (among other places).
juvepoland.com.

Then clubs like Roma and Sampdoria made plans of their own for self-funded new stadiums. {See this, Roma stadium three years away (football-italia.net). See this, Sampdoria Present New Stadium Plans (viva-news.com).} Milan and Fiorentina also have ambitions to build and own their own stadiums {see this, 7 Stadiums Which Could Rejuvenate Serie A (football-tripper.com from July 2015)}. And up in Friuli in north-east Italy, Udinese got the municiplity of Udine to work with them to totally re-design the Stadio Friuli, which you can see further below. Hopefully the trend for new and better stadiums in Serie A will bear more fruit. It also must be pointed out that Sassuolo now own their own stadium – Mapei Stadium-Città del Tricolore, and you can see that stadium below.
Below, Mapei Stadium (opened 1995) – owned by first division club US Sassuolo…
Mapei Stadium. Home of Sassuolo (1st division club) and AC Reggiana (3rd division club).
Capacity 29,380/current reduced capacity of 21,700. Located in Reggio Emilia, which is 21 km (13 miles) NW of Sassuolo. Built by Reggiana FC in 1995, the stadium was well ahead of its time for Italy – being the first stadium in Italy in the modern age to be funded and built by the club (and not built and owned by the local municipality, as with virtually all other pro clubs in Italy). But Reggiana FC went bankrupt in 2005 (the club was re-formed as AC Reggiana that same year). The stadium sat under-utilized for a few years until nearby club Sassuolo began advancing up the divisional ladder in Italian football. Sassuolo began playing at the stadium in 2013 and bought the stadium outright in 2015.

Udinese: the massive re-build at Stadio Friuli in Udine, Friuli-Venezia Guilia…
The stadium originally had poor sight-lines due to the vast gap created by the running track, as well as the shallow incline of the seating in the bowl of the stands. So, everything except the Main Stand's arced roof was torn out. Emulating Juventus' recently-built stadium, the new stands at Stadio Friuli were built at a much steeper angle, for better sight-lines. A roof over all the re-built parts completes the stunning new look of Stadio Friuli (now officially called the Dacia Arena).

I got an environment here of NX Native with a share. In Teamcenter, the NX is always started without that share?
The Native share is started through a start script. How can i tell Teamcenter to Start NX with this start script and not from C:\Siemens\NX100 for example?
ho can i use start NX_custom123.bat for the NX start from Teamcenter?
Could not find an solution.
As @ArthurRM states, start_nxmanager.bat is called when you launch NX from Teamcenter. The location of start_nxmanager.bat is stored in the registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\ugmportalfile\Shell\Open\command (ensure file path is correct).
The NXcustom folder structure (on your share in NX110library) contains Tc_start_NX110manager_mods.txt which describes what needs to be changed in Tc_start_NX110manager.bat. After making your changes to Tc_start_NX110manager.bat then replace the contents of start_nxmanager.bat with the contents of Tc_start_NX110manager.bat.
Now when you launch NX your site wide settings stored on your share will be called during startup.

Thank you, Gary, for posting the link to Barb's rhubarb recipe.
Pictured is Rhubarb Festival Founder Darlene Johnson at her €œThank You/Retirement Party€� held in August of 2016. Johnson founded the festival in 1990 as a way to draw people to the area and to her cousins shop, the House of Burgess in Aledo. It started off as a simple idea. That first year Mrs. Johnson and her cousin, Barbara McWhorter offered samples of 13 Rhubarb dishes on the front lawn of the House of Burgess. That first Rhubarb Festival drew 67 people. Darlene felt she was on to something so she gathered volunteers and together, under Johnsons leadership, the Rhubarb Festival has blossomed into a 2 day event that draws 8,000-10,000 people to our little charming town. The Festival has become so well known, former governor Pat Quinn declared Aledo the Rhubarb Capital of Illinois and visitors have been known to say they plan their summer vacation around the little towns festival! Mrs. Johnson said theyve had visitors from about 20 states, including California, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri. The Rhubarb Festival Committee and the City of Aledo are very grateful for the tremendous impact Darlene has had on our community. In 2016, Darlene retired as Chairperson of the committee but still plays an active role in volunteering. Aledo native and long time Rhubarb Festival volunteer, Pam Myers has stepped up to assume responsibilities as the 2017 Rhubarb Festival Chair..."
Ahh I see. So how do you account for other people agreeing too?

Ras to rebrand as jetms completions
In the wake of the JETMS acquisition of RAS Completions in 2021, the Biggin Hill based company will be formally rebranded as JETMS Completions.
To better represent the professionalism and unity of both companies, and to mirror the esteem in which both companies are held in the aviation industry, the rebranding strategy will serve to strengthen their place in the market.
JETMS, as a family member of Avia Solutions Group, and with the backing of its position as a global player in the aviation and aerospace industries, will use the rebranding as a means to represent JETMS and JETMS Completions more closely going forward.
The original RAS Group, now JETMS Completions, is a long-established aircraft interior, exterior completions company and is well renowned as being a one-stop shop for jet interiors, commercial interiors, aircraft interior design, aircraft seating, aircraft painting, coatings and ancillary services for both VIP and commercial aircraft.
With the support of the JETMS parent company, Avia Solutions Group, and a greater investment strategy, the next milestone on the company's journey towards creating a truly competitive brand, will include the upgrading of facilities, a brighter more modern look, and a more detailed focus on the delivery of premium quality customer-focused services.
According to Keiron McNeill, Managing Director of JETMS Completions, "The rebranding will not have any great impact on our daily operations and will only be used to reinforce our image of providing the highest quality services by both clients and the industry as a whole. Once the rebranding process is complete, we will present a new image, a new logo, new social media profiles, and an upgraded website to reflect the bright future that lies ahead for both parties. The rebranding will be conducted to highlight our business as a member of a progressive and highly supportive global organisation, and will better showcase our ever-expanding portfolio of capabilities."
Vytis Žalimas, the CEO of JETMS, the parent company of JETMS Completions, had the following to say. "We feel that rebranding the company as JETMS Completions will be a wholly positive change for the entire company and that it will only add an extra strengthening element to the existing business relationships which have already been forged. It is in our best interests to continue prioritising quality, on-point customer service, focused client interaction, attention to detail, and flexibility under a new, stronger, and more vitalised brand image.

New report on Yemen and explosive weapons - A death sentence for civilians (Current page)
New report on Yemen and explosive weapons - A death sentence for civilians
Press release | London, 12th June 2020, 12:00 GMT
Humanity & Inclusion is releasing, on Friday 12th June, its new report "Death Sentence to Civilians: The Long-Term Impact of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas in Yemen" that demonstrates how bombing in populated areas has wiped out decades development of Yemen. During 5 years of war, the men, women and children of Yemen have experienced every manner of explosive weapons - aerial bombs and missiles, artillery, mortars, and IEDs and much more - destroying bridges, roads, hospitals and generating long lasting civilian harm. Humanity & Inclusion, as a co-founding member of International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW) is fully engaged in the diplomatic process which started in October 2019 to end bombing in populated areas and to urge States to support a strong political declaration to end human suffering caused by explosive weapons.
Humanity & Inclusion's report "Death Sentence to Civilians: The Long-Term Impact of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas in Yemen" demonstrates how the use of explosive weapons in Yemen will impact on Yemenis lives for decades: critical infrastructure and services necessary for food, transport, health, and water such as ports, roads, health facilities, and water systems have been damaged or destroyed.
The report shows the extent and impact through 6 cases studies. Just one of those is the damages to Hodeidah port by bombing. A single incident early in the conflict had disrupted the supply of basic goods and caused a price hike in essential goods, such as food. The report also shows that the demolition of roads and bridges greatly increases the time it takes to supply cities, as well as hampering the population's access to basic services… As this shows, the consequences of the bombing of infrastructure in 2015, such as the Hodeidah port, still have severe consequences for civilians today and will do for decades.
Extensive bombing of populated areas in Yemen have sent the country back 25 years (Source: Assessing the Impact of War on development on YEMEN, UNDP, 2019). That's a whole generation. Yemen will not be able to bear the appalling cost of reconstruction, or even the vital decontamination of explosive remnants of war that will be necessary prior to any reconstruction.
According to the Humanitarian Needs Overview up to 600 civilian infrastructures were destroyed or damaged per month in 2018. In Yemen, 50% of medical facilities no longer function while 19.7 million people in need of healthcare and 17.8 people lack access to safe water and sanitation. The economic blockade and disruption to the economy have inflated the cost of food and fuel. The damage to critical infrastructure has exacerbated humanitarian needs in the country, where 24.1 million people (three quarter of the population) are in need of humanitarian aid.
"The bombing of urban areas is a slow and silent health crime. Vital medical health structures are being wiped out through the use of explosive weapons: 50% of health facilities can no longer function fully, reducing the country's medical and health-care capacity by half. Yemen's health infrastructure is being wiped out by the bombing of medical facilities and through the destruction of sewage systems by repetitive bombing, which has encouraged the return of water-related diseases."
says Alison Bottomley, Humanity & Inclusion Advocacy Advisor.
"Bombing and shelling in Yemen kills and injures civilians on the spots. It also has a lingering and long-term impact for generations of people that will survive the war - if the war in Yemen was to end today, people will have to bear the brunt of destroyed roads, bridges, hospitals and harbours. This damage and destruction has caused a sharp decrease of health access, making access to basic goods, including medicine and basic services, much more difficult. Even before the conflict, Yemen had insufficient health, water, and transport infrastructure. The massive and repetitive use of explosive weapons in populated areas for 5 years has made Yemen even more vulnerable." adds Alison.
In 5 years of war, Yemen has been devastated by the use of explosive weapons: the organisation, Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) reports that nearly 16,300 people have been killed or injured by explosive weapons between 2015 and 2018. About 80% of them were civilians. When explosive weapons were used in populated areas in Yemen, AOAV has found that, 95% of casualties were civilians.
"The destruction of critical infrastructure by bombing leaves Yemen struggling to cope with a pandemic such as COVID-19. Social and medical services are disorganised and further weakened by 5 years of extensive and repetitive bombardments. Entire populations - especially displaced people - are extremely vulnerable and have the least access to the health, water, and sanitation services they need to protect themselves from COVID-19." explains Alison Bottomley, Humanity & Inclusion Advocacy Advisor.
Diplomatic process to end bombing in urban areas
Humanity & Inclusion as a co-founding member of International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW) is working with States to develop a strong political declaration to end the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects in populated areas and to ensure support to the victims of these weapons.
Negotiations for a political declaration to end the human suffering caused by the use of explosive weapons in populated areas started in Vienna on October 1-2, 2019. Two rounds of negotiations took place in Geneva during November 2019 and February 2020 and will be followed by another round of consultations later in 2020. This diplomatic process will be finalised with a political declaration that will be opened for endorsement.
-Players of People's Postcode Lottery have been supporting Humanity & Inclusion's "Stop Bombing Civilians" campaign, to end the use of explosive weapons in populated area.

A family's tradition
Through trapping, Devon Allooloo passes on the joys of life outdoors and self-sustainability to the next generation.
By Dana Bowen
Photo by Amanda Annand
A short snowmobile ride from Yellowknife, Devon Allooloo—flanked by his two young children—stands in front of a small plywood box. He bends down to brush off the powdery snow that has settled on top. His children crowd around the box, peer- ing inside to see a dead marten, its neck clasped between metal teeth.
Allooloo's five-year-old daughter Náįlį watches intently as her father explains how to properly—and safely—remove the animal from the trap. "It's funny because she gets almost as excited as I do when I see a trapped animal," Allooloo says. "She looks forward to it and she's really interested in learn- ing about the whole process." As they move on to check other boxes, Náįlį helps set some traps. Later she watches as her father skins the animal, step by step.
Allooloo didn't have that kind of hands-on trapping tutelage growing up. "I've always been interested in trapping, but I've never had anyone to really [teach it to me]," he says. In 2018, he sat down at his computer and searched trapping videos on YouTube. There, he spent hours following trap- pers online, including NWT trapper Andrew Stanley, who posts videos under the name TheWildNorth.
Allooloo learned how to make and set humane traps, how often to check them, and how to prepare the pelts afterwards. He even contacted some of the trappers afterwards for more tips.
A year and a half later, he was ready to put these lessons to work. "I was doing essentially what I had learned online and it was working," Allooloo says. "I had immediate success."
Growing up in Yellowknife, Allooloo's parents were hunt- ers. Living off the land was part of Allooloo's upbringing. He helped his parents pick berries and sink lines into the lake to catch fish. "The first animal I harvested was a caribou when I was six," he says. "It felt good, but it also just seemed very normal. I would always go with my parents hunting."
Allooloo spent much of his childhood observing animals in nature. His family ate what they harvested, and he learned to skin animals and also how to process the meat. "It's al- most like I took it for granted because it was such a rich way of life," he says. "I was very blessed to be able to grow up that way."
His parents passed on their love for being out on the land. Allooloo now co-owns Narwal Adventures with his mother Cathy, who started the company in 1987. (His father led cari- bou and polar bear hunting trips out of Pond Inlet, Nunavut.) The tourism outfit offers paddling tours, youth programs, first aid training and dinner theatre evenings that include adventures on a 29-foot voyageur canoe. Allooloo has also started to offer trapline tours, as part of a pilot project.
"It's usually people who want to go check out the trapline. I bring them out on the skiddoo and we go to see what's on the line," he says. "But what's also been popular is people coming and seeing how to skin animals at Narwal."
Although it's something Allooloo has done since child- hood, preparing pelts as a fur trapper is different. "You have to practice great care around the face and the paws.
You must remove all the fat and all the bones, and you have to make it pre- sentable because the people buying [the fur pelt], they're going to want to make sure that the whole pelt is complete so they can use it for either taxidermy or for clothing."
Allooloo's pelts are sold through the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program, which the NWT government launched in 2002 to help stabilize the local fur economy. Northern trapping began to decline in the 1980s, says Francois Rossouw, who used to lead the program.
"We started seeing a change in harvesting and lifestyles activities ... It was also pushed by the anti-fur movement," he says.
But trappers like Allooloo are keeping the industry alive. "As some young people start to question what they are doing and are trying to rid themselves of the [effects] of residential school and colonization, fur harvesting is an activity their forefathers have done and it connects them to their past and their Elders," says Rossouw.
That certainly plays a role in Allooloo's career choice, as he continues the sustain- able lifestyle he grew up with. Knowing he can provide for his family through trap- ping gives him a sense of freedom. "I find it's healing for me to get out onto the land, and I think it would be healing for a lot of other folks."
It's a lifestyle he hopes to pass on to his own children. "I think it will give them a source of revenue if [they want to trap]. Not only that, but it's a good way to connect with the land and learn about animals and their habits," he says. "It's very therapeutic to be out in the bush."
On the trapline, Náįlį keeps watch for footprints of lynx, marten, wolverine or wolf. When the family hop back on the snowmobile and turn around a bend in the forest, she sees a trap that's been set off. "Lynx!" she yells, eager to get her hands on the soft fur.
The young girl carefully helps remove the animal from the pen, remarking at its pointy ears, sharp claws and the spots along its body. Triumphantly, she helps carry the animal to the snowmobile, gain- ing more confidence in her abilities with each trip out to the trapline.

I was working on the Chantilly Chocolat when I decided to experiment with something new. Inspired from many of the cookbooks I have, I decided to do a mousse-type cake combined with a soft fluffy sponge and a tangy mango topping. So with some experimentation, I present to you my Mango Temptation!
This cake is so much fun to bake and of course, being the mango addict I am, how am I to pass up on a lovely cake like this?
This takes about 2 hours to bake and assemble, excluding time for the mango topping to set towards the end. I'd rate it a difficulty level 3 out of 5.
Here's a tutorial on how you can line your baking tin.
Pour into baking tin and lightly drop from a low height to release some of the larger air bubbles in the batter. Bake for about 25 - 35 minutes or till' toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.
Blend the fresh mangoes. You may choose to use store-bought mango puree but the real deal is really the best.
Always love a fresh bowl of mango puree!
To the water, add the gelatin powder. You may double boil it till it is all dissolved. Alternatively, heat it up in the microwave oven on medium heat in 20 second intervals till' mixture is all dissolved.
You should get a mixture like this. Allow it to cool down while you whip up the whipping cream.
To the whipping cream, add the mango puree and the gelatin mixture.
Trim off the upper layer of the cake as this layer tends to make the cake dry.
Arrange the square moulds/cake rings on top of the cake. The cake size bakes 4 perfect square.
Using a small knife, gently gauge the lines where the cake rings/moulds are and cut the cake to fit the mould.
Cube up the mango into really tiny cubes. This is how small your cubes should be in comparison to the white teaspoon.
*NOTE: The following steps are for a round cake but the steps are exactly the same for the square cake.
The blue part is the portion that we will be using. You may nibble the parts cut out or keep them for cake pops!
You should have some space like this at the side of your cake. Spray a small even amount of the sugar solution on the cake.
Pipe some mango mousse that you have prepared into the space beside the cake. Then, pipe some on top of the cake.
Scoop some mango cubes onto the space on top of the cake. Pipe some mango mousse next to it like a barrier.
Top with some more mousse.
Place the second layer of cake onto the mousse and press down. Spray a small even amount of sugar solution on the cake.
Pipe an even layer of whipping cream on top of the cake.
Smooth it out with a teaspoon. Leave in fridge to chill for 15 minutes. Leave at least 1/2cm of space from the top for your mango topping.
In a bowl, add the water, agar agar powder and gelatin into the water. Heat up mixture in the microwave oven on medium heat for 2 minutes using 30 second intervals or until agar agar powder and gelatin is dissolved, stirring it between intervals.
Add the fresh mango puree and heat up for another 2 minutes using 30 second intervals.
You should get a mixture like this. If you do not wish to use the microwave oven, you may double boil this.
Pass the mixture through a fine sieve.
You should get little mango remnants like this. This step is optional but I prefer to do this as the mango topping will be smoother.
You should have a mixture like this!
Clean up the sides of the cake ring/mould if there is mango mousse on it.
Pour the mango topping onto the mango mousse and allow it to set in the fridge for 30 minutes to achieve the fluid-like texture I have in the image. Else, you may let it set for 2 hours to have a firmer top.
Use the back of a small paring knife to run down the sides of the cake mould to remove the cake.
Grate the laffa lime's peel to use as garnish. Top with some sprinkles.
So, this cake maybe a little bit of a hassle but it's so pretty isnt it? Enjoy baking this for your loved ones! (: The combination of chocolate sponge cake and mango mousse topped with mango topping is simply divine!

While many struggle to perfectly pan sear pork chops, this technique is foolproof. Use half-and-half for the pan gravy for a rich and decadent sauce, or milk or chicken stock for a lighter sauce.
Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet (do not use nonstick or pork chops will not brown very well) over high heat and add the oil.
Carefully lay the pork chops into the pan, watching for grease splatters, and cook on high for 3 minutes to achieve a golden brown sear on the first side.
Turn pork chops over, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a pork chop registers 130 degrees, about 4-6 minutes.
Remove pork chops to a platter and wrap tightly in foil to allow the meat to rest and the pork chops will continue to cook, raising the internal temperature to medium.
While the pork is resting, melt the butter into the pan with the pork drippings over medium high heat and add the flour, stirring to cook the flour for a minute or two to remove the raw taste.
Whisk in the half-and-half a little at a time, whisking constantly until everything is incorporated and smooth.
Pour any juices from the pork chops that have accumulated while the meat was resting into the gravy and continue to cook until thickened, another minute or two.
Either purchase our boneless pork chops already portioned or cut your own from our boneless loin roast or boneless sirloin roast. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the chops – using a meat thermometer will ensure they are cooked perfectly.

One of the best things about living in an agricultural area is access to farm stands! Fresh produce is never far from anyone in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Local, organic veggies are more delicious and often less expensive than what you'll find at grocery stores. Plus, by supporting local farm stands, you are also supporting small, independent farmers, which falls beautifully into a fair way of life.
Thanksgiving is all about gathering with friends and family around a meal large enough to fill every belly, which leaves a lot of opportunity to support farmers. Keep in mind that, in addition to the food you buy, you can make responsible choices in how you decorate too.
A handcrafted cornucopia from a fair trade workshop is a great place to start. The word cornucopia comes from Latin, meaning horn of plenty, and has been associated with Thanksgiving since the pilgrims first inhabited North America. The symbolic meaning of the cornucopia can be traced back to Greek mythology. The legend goes that the goat Amalthea cared for the mighty god Zeus in his infancy. Because of his unusual strength, he accidentally broke one of her horns. Amalthea's horn became a source of unending nourishment, and over time, the horn of plenty became a well-known symbol of abundance and a bountiful harvest, which is why the symbol was adopted for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Noah's Ark workshop in Moradabad, India keeps metalworking skills alive by translating traditional techniques into modern designs that are marketable in the United States. So even though Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in India, items intended for use at American holidays— like a copper-colored cornucopia— are still important to their businesses. This cornucopia helps makers like Intezar Hussain provide for his family (pictured above). Even though he doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving, the cornucopia represents nourishment in a different way.
Most farm stands are at least partially outdoors. Wear something you can wrap up in, just in case autumn decides to be a little nippy.
Another thing to consider is that most farm stands do not provide shopping carts or baskets like grocery stores do. If you have a long shopping list, be sure to bring a basket with a handle that you can easily carry in and out of narrow aisles.
Part of the charm of shopping at a farmers' market is finding strangely shaped and speckled produce. Whether it's a pumpkin that's oblong and blue or a tomato that's striped and as big as your face, nature isn't perfect. Your centerpiece shouldn't be either. Choosing the most unique pieces at the market will add interest and intrigue to your Thanksgiving decorating.
You'll have a much easier time fitting everything inside your cornucopia if you choose a variety of items. Colorful flint corn is a good item to start with because it's likely to fill a large portion of the cornucopia. Once your corn is in place, you can fill in the gaps with small gourds, apples, pears and mini pumpkins. Leave the smallest fall flowers for the final layer because they can easily be tucked into tiny places in between everything else. Marigolds, sunflowers and mums are great choices for fall decorating. And once the holiday is over, just toss your produce outside for the animals to enjoy. If you're lucky, some seeds might sprout up next year and you can have a little garden of your own.
Most farmers' markets don't accept credit cards, so come prepared with paper money.
Thanksgiving is all about remembering what we're thankful for. We are thankful to have such easy access to food, and the means to pay for that food. Let the cornucopia be a reminder of the wonderful abundance all around us. Embrace the historic symbolism that it holds, along with what it represents in our current day—the opportunity to provide meaningful work and fair wages to someone we may never meet.

The City of Frankston was a local government area about  south of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of  in and around Frankston, and existed from 1860 until 1994.

History

The City of Frankston had its origins in the Mount Eliza Road District, which was created on 6 November 1860, and redesignated as a shire and renamed Mornington on 24 November 1871.

The West riding of Mornington Shire was excised to create the New Mornington Shire on 30 May 1893 (and was itself renamed Mornington Shire on 15 January 1894), and the remaining East and North ridings were renamed Frankston & Hastings Shire on 20 October 1893. The two shires were almost reunited in a major local government reform programme in 1915.

On 19 October 1960, the Central and Eastern Ridings of Frankston & Hastings Shire were severed, and with parts of the Eastern Riding of the Shire of Flinders, were incorporated as the Shire of Hastings. The remainder was renamed the Shire of Frankston.

After a petition was received by the Government on 4 May 1966, Frankston Shire was proclaimed as a city on 24 August 1966.

On 15 December 1994, the City of Frankston was abolished, and along with parts of the Cities of Cranbourne and Springvale, was merged into the new City of Frankston. Parts of Mount Eliza were transferred to the newly created Shire of Mornington Peninsula.

Some changes occurred between the release of the Local Government Board report in July 1994 and the actual amalgamation; the original plan was to merge Frankston with the City of Chelsea, and take Braeside and Carrum Downs from the City of Springvale. However, Frankston City Council submitted that it should expand eastwards instead, as well as taking Mount Eliza and Baxter. By October, the present boundaries had been agreed upon, but the new entity was to be known as the City of Nepean. This appeared in the Board's final report in November 1994. However, the State Government ultimately decided to use the old name for the new entity, departing from the Board's recommendation.

Council formerly met at the Civic Centre at Young Street and Davey Street, Frankston. The facility is still used for the same purpose by the new City of Frankston.

Wards

The City of Frankston was divided into four wards, each of which elected three councillors:
 North Ward
 East Ward
 Centre Ward
 South Ward

Suburbs
 Baxter (shared with the City of Cranbourne and the Shire of Hastings)

Does violence on TV beget violence in the community? Has the video game Grand Auto Theft increased crime, and educated young minds in criminal ways?
I came across an interesting Canadian website Media Awareness Network which has some intresting articles on this topic.
"The debate over media violence has eluded definitive answers for more than three decades. At first blush, the debate is dominated by one question—whether or not media violence actually causes real-life violence. But closer examination reveals a political battle. On the one hand, there are those who blame media violence for societal violence and want to censor violent content to protect children. On the other hand are those who see regulation as the slippery slope to censorship or a smokescreen hiding the root causes of violence in society.
One thing is certain: the issue of media violence is not going away. Increasingly the debate is focusing on the "culture of violence," and on the normalization of aggression and lack of empathy in our society."
News Corp feeling the heat
News Corporation's James Murdoch has said that a "dominant" BBC threatens independent journalism in the UK.
The chairman of the media giant in Europe, which owns the Times and Sun, also blamed the UK government for regulating the media "with relish".
"The expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision," he told the Edinburgh Television Festival.
The scope of the BBC's activities and ambitions was "chilling", he added.
Organisations like the BBC, funded by the licence fee, as well as Channel 4 and Ofcom, made it harder for other broadcasters to survive, he argued.
