The Best Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky
Posted in book reviews with tags books, fyodor dostoevsky, posts with comics, reviews, short stories on March 4, 2011 by acousticchick
Well, the unthinkable has happened. I have read a book of Dostoevsky's writing, and I have absolutely nothing to whine about. Dostoevsky positively shines in short form. Each of the seven short stories in the collection I read featured both a plot and a perfectly acceptable amount of rambling— so acceptable, in fact, that I can't even really call it rambling.
The collection starts out with "White Nights," which the author calls "a sentimental love story." It was nice of Dostoevsky to warn me about what I was getting into, but I didn't find it sentimental at all. Given that it's a Russian tale, there was a nicely subtle bitterness to it that kept me from wanting to puke. Basically, a girl likes two dudes. The expected drama ensues, she picks one, and the other is all, "Well, at least I had her for a moment," except it's Dostoevsky, so he says, "Good Lord, only a moment of bliss? Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of a man's life?" As far as happy endings go, that's one of the more sorrowful I've ever read.
"The Honest Thief" and "The Peasant Marey" are character sketches. In both stories, the plot is straightforward and static and the characters are complex and thoughtful. This sort of writing makes me squirm— it's so easy to identify with the scummy motives or intense feelings the characters are experiencing.
"The Christmas Tree and a Wedding" is a pleasantly creepy story of pedophilia and greed. Over the course of nine pages, a sticky-fingered old man hits on a little girl born to a rich family, charms her mother, and marries the child, who is just old enough to realize that she's going to live the rest of her life in despair.
"Notes From the Underground" was the first story that I was apprehensive about. Given that it's the longest in this collection, I was expecting Dostoevsky to relapse into tangents, but instead he takes you through the ins and outs of his main character's brain as he analyzes himself and philosophizes about the world. And as an added bonus, things actually happen. The story hops back and forth from introspection to action frequently enough to keep even my attention span engaged.
"A Gentle Creature" and "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" I read during the delirium of illness, so while I got the general idea of the stories, I didn't pick up on any of the subtleties. I'm going to go ahead and assume they were as awesome as the others.
So kudos to Dostoevsky. In short form, the philosophy and psychology of his writing is clear and sharp. I'm not recanting what I've said about him before, but I have a new appreciation for his writing after having read these stories.
The Idiot
Posted in book reviews with tags books, fyodor dostoevsky, michael cera, posts with comics, reviews, the idiot on September 21, 2010 by acousticchick
At first, 'The Idiot' was encouraging. I knew exactly what to expect from Dostoevsky— streams-of-consciousness and lots of dialogue— and the beginning of the book sneakily masqueraded as lucid. Then, about halfway through, I realized that there wasn't exactly a plot (surprise!).
Dostoevsky is not an action writer. It's not that nothing happens in his books, it's that the events are like towns in South Dakota. You drive through lots of boring stretches, and then you pass a town so small you'll miss it if you blink. The things that do happen in 'The Idiot'— murder attempts, impulsive marriage proposals, drunk guys doing drunk-guy things— are intriguing if not intense, but they take place over the course of exactly a paragraph, and then the author moves on to the much more pressing matter of rambling.
There were, however, some pretty good conversations in 'The Idiot.' Myshkin (the main character, who probably pretends to be timid to cover up the fact that he's secretly a super-spy) gets into a talk with three chicks about executions and the thoughts that would run through a person's head the moment before death. Later in the book, a bunch of people get bored at a party so they decide to talk about the worst thing they've done in their lives. Instead of a huge guilt-fest, Dostoevsky uses his characters' stories to blur morality lines. The guy is a philosopher— he wants you to think. He also wants you to perform the super-human feat of keeping your brain engaged while he gets to the point, but I think if you do the former you're allowed to cheat on the latter.
The characters in 'The Idiot' are particularly compelling, and "compelling" here has the meaning "basically insane." The aforementioned Myshkin is the only one who seems chemically balanced. Everyone else is described as frantic or frenzied about ninety percent of the time, while Myshkin hangs out, pining over a girl and acting meek. In fact, the only real difference between Myshkin and any character played by Michael Cera is that Myshkin has enough of a backbone to take everyone's bullying because he's actually indifferent, and not, in fact, spineless. The center-stage crazies are Nastasya, the love interest, who has the romantic attention span of a gnat and whom everyone loves despite the fact that she's frankly a bitch, and Rogozhin, a loose cannon with a propensity for murderous rages. Not a good combination.
If you make it through all the pow-wows and psychosis, you are sort of rewarded with the ending. Murder! Homoerotic subplots! Nervous breakdowns! It's all very exciting! I just wish it hadn't been squished into the last ten pages, because by the time I got to it I was so fed up that I didn't care at all.
Posted in book reviews with tags books, crime and punishment, fyodor dostoevsky, reviews on August 29, 2010 by acousticchick
Pseudo-intellectuals the world over name-drop Dostoevsky to impress their lesser-minded peers; maybe I fall into the second category, because reading 'Crime And Punishment' made me feel like a cat playing with a ball of yarn. While Dostoevsky unwound his story through the house, I chased after it, trying to make it stop for a minute so I could figure out what the hell was going on.
Sure, the murder scene was intense. But it takes place seventy pages into the story, and the next four hundred just drag. Raskolnikov, the killer, fumbles around feeling guilty and everyone around him seems moments from yelling, "It was you!" Then, crammed into the last dozen pages or so, old Raskol goes and turns himself in. The end.
To give credit where credit's due, Dostoevsky writes emotion really well. You feel Raskolnikov's guilt and terror, sympathizing with him when he justifies his crime and almost rooting for him while all the jerks around him are trying to get him to confess. None of his characters are unimportant, either; he delves into their motives with abandon, never leaving you to doubt exactly why they're doing what they're doing. Unfortunately most of this exposition is in the form of dialogue. Most of the action scenes in 'Crime And Punishment' are people walking from place to place, and then they sit down and have a lengthy, lengthy chat, until you're drowning in it and start to forget who's saying what.
My main gripe with everything I've read by Dostoevsky is that he starts with such good ideas, but his streams-of-consciousness style dampens the effect. About three-quarters into the book, another character, Sonia, gets framed for stealing. The girl endures a few pages of haranguing before an eyewitness calls her accuser out as a liar. It would have been a clever bit of contrast if she'd been punished for a crime she didn't commit.
Come to that, Raskolnikov should have gotten off scot-free. Maybe Dostoevsky wasn't trying to satirize the justice system and I missed the entire point of the story, but I think a less straightforward plot would have made the book more compelling. Don't expect any surprises; the title gives it all away. Crime and lots of talking and then punishment.

Starting with the next turn i´ll not longer show EVERY battle in detail.
Only where the battle was and a grand overview of the losses.
For very important fights i´ll go into detail.
I hope George will do the same to reduce the amount of work per turn a bit.
When viewing the overview screen, I get this tingling feeling in my neck, telling me I might screwed up last turn.
The Northern half of the front shows some progress in Finland, great progress in the Baltic and virtually no progress in the Center. But AG North was still not receiving any additional reinforcements as I was busy rebuilding the Luftwaffe.
In the Ukraine things are different. The Shock armies were now close to my lines and within range of my air and artillery. It was time to set up the trap I planned so I launched some attacks and maneuvered my outflanking forces further into their side. If next turn would give me good weather and Seille would not retreat too far back, I might just be able to pull of a stunt here.
The Romanians boldness last turn however is gonna cost me. They have to retreat headlong towards the Dniepr, pursued by hordes of Russian infantry supported by tanks and dive-bombers. If they cannot hold them off, I'm in trouble.
First we start as usual with the production and the terrible losses my forces took.
Most of them i lost in the south.
The overview over the situation.
to egalize the disadvantage. I need to keep the air superiority there ! This is a must !!
of his reenforcement to the center. That will take some pressure from the other fronts.
The center battles in detail.
Overall i destroyed about 100 infantry, 3 artillery and 4 armor.
Lost about 30 infantry and 4 planes.
Every morning, before reading the news of the day, I check to see what happened here first. Yeah, this AAR is most interesting!
In late March, the sun suddenly makes its appearance and the ground turns firm again. The replay showed a lot of Russian units appearing on the map, especially in the South. I cannot see the strength of most of them, but just their presence on the map is intimidating.
This turn sees the continuation of my offensive, but at great cost. Although the Wehrmacht inflicts a lot of casualties, it doesn't come out of these battles unscathed. Was I a bit premature to start attacking the Red Army on all fronts at this stage? Should I have waited until the Summer Offensive? I'm not sure. At least I inflicted greater losses than I took, which meant the Red Army could only grow at a slow pace.
Seille's forces where still lacking in supporting weaponry, most of all artillery, which meant that his great mass of infantry was not really able to engage dug in enemies. If I had let the pressure off, he might have rebuilt his artillery arm and gone over to a more offensive posture.
This turn also saw the introduction of a new tactic I tried out. Just before Winter came, I got an R&D breakthrough which I spent almost fully on fortifications. Since I didn't have enough to make a useful upgrade, I saved the rest of it. This allowed me to build fortifications in the Center to lessen the impact of Seille's massive air attacks.
The other use I found for fortifications was in support of mobile forces. As can be seen later on in the Ukraine, I have fewer but stronger units, while Seille prefers more numerous but weaker units. This way he can converge on my strong units if they try to punch through his lines and it more or less forces me to either encircle his units and destroy them before they get dangerous (I hardly ever pulled this off in this match) or let the front coalesce into a linear configuration which would degenerate into a slugging match. Obviously, this last option was undesirable from my point of view.
I came up with the idea of having my engineers move with the most vulnerable forward units and create fortifications for those units at their ending positions. Usually the engineers would be mobile enough to withdraw again after building them. The front-line unit would still be susceptible to concentric counter-attack, but since Seille had little or no artillery in the Ukraine, they would have to storm the fortifications. Even if they succeeded, Russian losses would be much higher. In this way I discouraged counter-attacks, while obtaining spring-boards for the continuation of the offensive in the following turn.
Of course, this tactic requires a lot of PP, and I think I easily spent over 60 PP building fortifications in this match, which could have been used elsewhere. But since I had a production disadvantage, preserving my strength while exacting the highest possible toll on the enemy seemed like a smart move.
The following shot shows the location of newly built fortifications.
In the South, Seille has retreated in front of AG South but is moving towards Dnepropetrovsk in force and I'm running out of units in that sector.
Some attacks were successful, but I also took the liberty of taking Kharkov again (2nd time already), but that attack cost me more casualties than the Russians. But still, less production for Russia is a good thing, right?
and the south is mixed.
I came up with the idea of having my engineers move with the most vulnerable forward units and create fortifications for those units at their ending positions. Usually the engineers would be mobile enough to withdraw again after building them. The front-line unit would still be susceptible to concentric counter-attack. ... In this way I discouraged counter-attacks, while obtaining spring-boards for the continuation of the offensive in the following turn.
This is also a standard defensive tactic key point: building a fortification right away 'under' vulnerable spearheads!
After last turn I thought I had most areas under control, but the losses overview for this turn look catastrophic. My leading edge is melting away as fast as snow melts in the sun. The hit to my air force is the biggest one since the "Winter Mistake".
The Finns were pretty battered by the latest attacks and would soon have to retreat (again).
AG North had not taken a hit since the end of winter and was in pretty good shape. But it had also not gotten any reinforcements since the winter.
AG Center just lost its air cover. Offensive operations here were out of the questions until the summer.
AG South took a beating to one of its units on its left flank. Looking at the opposition, a stalemate is developing here.
AG Romania is being cut to pieces on the Dniepr. Major reinforcements are being sent that way.
In the North I suddenly see an opening. Leningrad itself is not heavily defended, so I attempt to take the city with Finnish forces which to my surprise succeeds. AG North closes the gap with the remainder of the Leningrad Front troops and it turns out it still is stronger than its enemy.
However... was Leningrad a trap for my forces or a genuine mistake? Nevertheless, even if I lose Leningrad the next turn, Seille needs at least 2 turns to rebuild it. That means his production takes a hit of at least 10 000 PP in the coming turns. I should be able to benefit from that.
The Southern half of the front sees a lot of action. AG South throws back its opponent's left flank with heavy losses, while withdrawing its own left flank. The Romanians withdraw behind the Dniepr and start receiving large amounts of reinforcements.
The situation here is tense. If Seille would push aggressively towards Kiev with his Shock Armies and transfer his big Fighter group from the Center to Kursk to support it, I think he could outmaneuver AG South or at least deal out some heavy damage before the German bonus turns start. This was my biggest worry at the time.
I´m not interested in rewriting it myself Vic. It is too much work.
As it is now i need up to two hours for preparing a single turn.
for posting it there as a article i have no problems with, but i won´t do it myself.
A very important turn for my russians.
it was pretty safe after the preventive attacks to the finnish forces close to Leningrad.
run to Stalingrad during the summer (bonus) turns.
The center is actually the only stable front...but how long?
the south. We´ll have to change this soon or the germans will crush this front.
as long as possible. If not the front will collapse.
Unfortunately the damn germans have the full air superiority in the south.
The combat reports don't look too good. We suffer great losses to our units, mostly to the Finnish Army. Seille's annihilating air strike North of Vitebsk wipes out 2 good units in a single turn. The good news is, that his air force is still in the Center and hasn't moved North or South and that I get an R&D breakthrough. Now... where do I invest it?
Most of the reinforcements are sent to AG North, including 80 Rifle, 7 Fighter and 3 Artillery. The rest go to AG South and the Romanian AG. Despite the pressure the Romanians are under, I cannot really give them priority.
After the loss of Leningrad, the Finns are out of the war. Their forces are reduced to 20% of their strength and barely capable of defending Finland itself. Luckily for them, AG North is now in position to threaten Leningrad from the West, which will take the Russian attention off the Finns.
I launch a series of attacks mostly aimed at securing good positions for the Summer and trying to take out as much heavy equipment (especially artillery) as possible. The ground attacks are relatively successful but the air attack takes a lot of casualties in Fighters, despite a 2 : 1 advantage. It seems as though the Luftwaffe has lost its edge.
Nevertheless, I do manage to take out a big chunk of artillery and get my strong ground units into position. I estimate Leningrad should fall (again) in about 2 - 3 turns.
In the Ukraine, the situation is serious. From the North there is pressure from a strong Russian army group which includes the Shock Armies. From the South the Stalingrad Front is pushing the Romanians across the Dniepr. I hold Kharkov and the Russian lines towards the East are very thin, but I cannot be everywhere at once.
The Luftwaffe is thrown against the Northern threat, while part of AG South attacks South towards Dnepropetrovsk to relieve pressure on the Romanians. These attacks are relatively painless, but the pressure from the North seems to mount.
The bigger Russian unit count worries me. They can more easily perform concentric attacks or try to swarm my units and cut them off from supply. I have been thinking about splitting up some units, but the readiness hit they take would make them too vulnerable at this moment. I have no quiet "rear area" where I could perform this reorganization.
Despite these worries, I intend to hold the Northern line by using Kharkov and the fortifications West of it as a "pivot". My air force and artillery can strike at units that dare to come close to these lines. And, by now I know Seille a bit better, and his playing style is to execute well-planned and well-supported attacks. Entering into a mobile melee is something he has avoided so far, probably because his units consist mostly of infantry. So the threat of him infiltrating my lines is not very likely at this moment.
The situation in the North is shown in the following screenshot. AG North looks to be a in good position, while AG Center remains dug in behind the Berezina river.
The Southern overview. On the Crimean front, everything has come to a standstill. Dnepropetrovsk is abandoned despite some successful attacks in that direction. Kharkov seems secure but the pressure on AG South is still strong.

YouTube Star Jimmy Wong Will Play Ling in the New Live-Action "Mulan"
Can. Not. Wait.
By Sarah Grace Hart
©Buena Vista Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection
Disney has found their Ling! Actor and YouTube star Jimmy Wong will play Ling in the live-action remake of Mulan, which is currently in production and is set to be released in 2020. The film, directed by Niki Caro will star Jet Li, Donnie Yen and Yifei Liu, among others.
You might recognize Jimmy from YouTube, where's been in shows such as Video Game High School, Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party and Feast of Fiction.
Taking to social media this week, he showed his excitement that he casting was made into a twitter moment and wrote that while he was cast back in December 2017, he had to keep the secret until now. He tweeted, "Hi everyone. Back in December I found out I got the role of a lifetime, and 8 months later I can finally tell you all about it: I'M GOING TO BE IN MULAN. I'm joined by some absolute legends as I reprise the role of LING from the original. I can't wait :)"
He also addressed the importance of Asian and Asian American representation in Hollywood, adding, "Mulan? #Representation worth fighting for."
You can also look for Jimmy in other upcoming projects. Earlier this year, Deadline reported that Jimmy had also been cast in the Sony animated film 'Wish Dragon', which will feature an entirely Asian voiced cast. The movie is set to be released in China in 2019 with an international release afterwards.
The live-action remake of Mulan made headlines recently when it was announced that Li Shang, Mulan's love interest in the 1998 Disney animated film, would not be in this version. Filmmakers have said that this take on the classic Chinese folktale will be different than it's animated counterpart, so it's safe to say we can expect more new changes along the way.
The film is currently in production in New Zealand and China and is set to be released in theaters March 27, 2020.

In our previous guides on unlocking, we treated: how to unlock a Blackberry phone (see https://journal.hovatek.com/how-to-unlock-a-blackberry-phone-says-activation-required-wont-work-with-other-sim-cards/ ) , how to Unlock an Android phone (see https://journal.hovatek.com/how-to-unlock-an-android-phone/ ) and how to unlock the iPhone . In this guide, we'll be looking at how to unlock a modem and also putting to rest some myths / questions surrounding the whole modem unlocking of a thing.
What does it mean to unlock a modem?
Unlocking a modem is to lift / remove the restriction which locks the modem to only SIM cards of one carrier / service provider, thereby allowing the modem to support the SIM cards of other carriers / service providers. In simpler English, unlocking a modem allows you to use other networks SIM cards on the modem instead of just one.
What are the advantages / benefits of unlocking a modem?
Unlocking a modem gives you more freedom in choosing what network / service provider 's SIM card you wish to use on the modem i.e If one network / service provider gets slower or more expensive, you don't need to purchase another modem to switch networks, you only need swap the SIM card in the modem to that of the network / service provider you wish to port / migrate to.
Does unlocking a modem cause it to get slower?
Contrary to popular fear, No, it doesn't . The modem is a hardware powered by software. Unlocking happens at the software end of the modem and doesn't tamper with the hardware capability. The only scenario where unlocking can be associated with a slower surfing speed is if you unlock a 3.75 G modem and remove the SIM which was receiving 3.75G smoothly then replace it with another service provider's SIM card which only has only 3.5 G service in your area. So you see that the fault here is from the service provider not being able to maximize the modem's hardware capability, not the modem itself.
How do I unlock a modem?
This method is used for New Algo modems like the Airtel huawei modem e173u-2 . Its similar to the first method but a New Algo Calculator is used instead (see https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-1009.html ) .
What happens if I make too may wrong unlock attempts / enter too many wrong unlock codes?
The modem will get hard locked to the branded service provider's SIM cards and not allow you to enter any more unlock codes. The limit is usually 10 unlock attempts.
How do I unlock a modem with 0 unlock attempts left?
In cases like this, you'll need a timer reseter to take the unlock attempts left from 0 back to 10. Timer reseters are often manufacturer specific.
Can CDMA modems be unlocked?
Yes, but We will not be delving into this (in this guide) due to its numerous model specific methods. You can request the exact method to unlock your CDMA modem at the Hovatek Forum .

CASS, MAURICE
(1884–1954). Lithuanian actor.
SCIENCE FICTION, FANTASY, AND HORROR FILM CREDITS
Acted in: Ali Baba Goes to Town (David BUTLER 1937); The Magician's Daughter (short) (Felix E. Faust 1938); Wonder Man (uncredited) (H. Bruce Humberstone 1945); Angel on My Shoulder (Archie Mayo 1946); Spook Busters (William BEAUDINE 1946); The Catman of Paris (Lesley Selander 1946); "Mystery of the Broken Statues" (1952), "The Defeat of Superman" (1953), episodes of The Adventures of Superman; Francis Covers the Big Town (uncredited) (Arthur LUBIN 1953); "The Moon or Bust" (1954), episode of The Mickey Rooney Show; Rocky Jones, Space Ranger (tv series) (1954).
His picture, of course, appears in Warren B. Meyers's Who Is That?: The Late Late Viewer's Guide to the Old Old Movie Players (1967)� as one of the many faces that filmgoers will inevitably recognize without recalling their names. A frail, balding man with a halo of longish white hair, Maurice Cass was fated to a career of stereotypical roles, an ideal choice to play a stuffy old dean, kindly grandfather, or absent-minded professor—and that, naturally, led him into the world of science fiction films.
He was born in 1884 in the region that is now Lithuania, and one can be reasonably sure that the name on his birth certificate was not "Maurice Cass." But his original name, and other details about his upbringing in Europe, may forever remain unknown. As a young man, he emigrated to America and was soon making a living as an actor on Broadway, first appearing as a mayor in a 1913 play and demonstrating, even at the age of twenty-nine, that he would always be destined to portray older authority figures. After two decades of supporting appearances on stage that he presumably found unsatisfying, he migrated to Hollywood in the early 1930s to begin a long series of supporting appearances on film that were probably just as unsatisfying, but more remunerative.
Cass's two decades of film work were mostly a matter of tiny, often uncredited roles—among many such appearances, you do not remember him as the handwriting expert in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), or the psychiatrist in Sorrowful Jones (1949)—though he garnered a rare starring role in a 1938 short, The Magician's Daughter, as a friendly stage magician, and credibly handled minor parts in the minor horror films Spook Busters and Catman of Paris. But while such work paid his bills, Cass was visibly failing to make a name for himself, and like almost everyone who enters the profession, he undoubtedly still harbored implausible dreams about becoming a big star, even as he approached the age of retirement, and even as his career continued to consist of roles involving one day on the set, delivering a few lines.
What made Cass's dreams come true—to a very limited extent—was the new medium of television, which in the early 1950s began to offer many stimulating opportunities to reliable veterans of the industry, rescuing Cass from complete obscurity and elevating him to the status of relative obscurity. One venue where Cass's talents were appreciated was The Adventures of Superman, and while there was nothing remarkable about his turn as a shop owner in "Mystery of the Broken Statues," he brought unusual enthusiasm to a rare role as a villain, the sinister scientist Meldini in "The Defeat of Superman," who devises a form of artificial kryptonite to bring down George REEVES's Man of Steel. He was also effective as Mickey Rooney's old chemistry teacher in an episode of The Mickey Rooney Show, inadvertently providing his former student with a powerful explosive to propel his planned rocket to the Moon. But his career reached its modest peak when he finally earned, at the age of sixty-nine, his first regular role in a television series as Professor Newton in Rocky Jones, Space Ranger, elderly mentor to the adventurous pilot and his crewmates. It isn't saying much, perhaps, but he was manifestly the series' best actor, and its most commanding presence, as he effortlessly dominated all of the episodes he appeared in, cheerfully expounding inane science to the other explorers of space.
Unfortunately, after years of workdays that only required an hour or so of preparing for and filming one scene, Cass was perhaps unprepared for a regimen of all-day acting in a series that was rapidly filming thirty-nine episodes in a few months, and he died of a heart attack while the series' single season was still filming. It would be nice to report that the producers, seeking to pay tribute to this unheralded yeoman of cinema, made use of leftover footage to devise a special episode in which Professor Newton died an heroic death, saving the galaxy from evildoers, but the reality they faced was that scripts had already been written, and episodes needed to be completed immediately, so they instead brought in a lesser actor to play a "Professor Mayberry" who replaced Newton without any explanation in the final episodes. Perhaps youthful fans at the time never noticed the difference, but as Maurice Cass surely could not have anticipated, certain older viewers who later discovered the series would lament his absence.

A very simple and neat printer with features and capacities that can be upgraded, that�??s the HP Color LaserJet 2550 L single-function laser printer. This unit has a market price of around $500 back in 2004, and it�??s one of the cheapest at that time. Just like most of the laserjet printers in the same line, this unit has no USB cable included. Its control panel lacks an LCD and only includes a few buttons such as Power and Cancel Print.
The HP Color LaserJet 2550 L does not support any networking feature, but you can try the LaserJet 2550 LN model. Paper comes out on the top of the machine, while the input tray situates at the bottom and is capable of handling 125 sheets. The unit only works with HP 122A color toner cartridges and HP Q3964A drum unit. If users may want to upgrade its paper capacity, a 500-sheet secondary tray is readily available. CNET actually a review for this model and gave it a 4.5 rating out 5 stars. For your print supply needs, check out our low-priced compatible toner cartridges for LaserJet series printers particularly for Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet 2550 L.

The IRS Has Seized $1.2 Billion Worth of Cryptocurrency This Year
Lucas Nolan
According to a recent report, the U.S. government has seized $1.2 billion worth of cryptocurrency in fiscal year 2021. This represents a huge leap from the $137 million worth of cryptocurrency seized in 2020.
CNBC reports that in fiscal year 2021, which ends on September 30, the U.S. government has seized $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency. The government reportedly auctions off its stockpile of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies on a regular basis. One recent auction took place in June and included more than 150 Litecoin and 0.00022893 Bitcoin Cash (an offshoot of Bitcoin), worth around $21,000 at current prices.

The cryptocurrency that was auctioned off was confiscated as part of a tax compliance case. This is not an unusual sale for the government, which has been seizing cryptocurrency for years. IRS officials consider digital currency to be just another type of asset seized in high-profile criminal sting operations.
Jarod Koopman, director of the IRS' cybercrime unit, commented: "It could be 10 boats, 12 cars, and then one of the lots is X number of bitcoin being auctioned." Koopman's team brings in a record amount of cryptocurrency every year for the U.S. government. He recently told CNBC: "In fiscal year 2019, we had about $700,000 worth of crypto seizures. In 2020, it was up to $137 million. And so far in 2021, we're at $1.2 billion." The fiscal year ends on September 30, so the 2021 total could go even higher.
The takedown of the Silk Road online black market in 2013 appeared to kickstart the federal government's seizure of cryptocurrency. Sharon Cohen Levin, who worked on the first prosecution of the Silk Road and has spent 20 years as the chief of money laundering and asset forfeiture unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, commented: "It was totally unprecedented."
"There was a wallet with approximately 30,000 bitcoin in it, which we were able to identify and seize. At the time, it was probably the largest bitcoin seizure ever, and it sold for around $19 million," said Levin. "No one had ever done anything like it. In fact, there weren't really companies that you could go to in order to sell the assets. The Marshals Service stepped up and conducted their own auction of the assets where they took bids," she added.

De hervormde kerk van Gauw is een kerkgebouw in de gemeente Súdwest-Fryslân in de Nederlandse provincie Friesland.

Beschrijving
De zaalkerk met restanten uit de middeleeuwen is in de 19e eeuw verbouwd en kreeg een driezijdige koorsluiting. De zadeldaktoren van twee geledingen uit de 13e eeuw werd in de 19e eeuw ommetseld. De 19e-eeuwse ommetseling is bij een restauratie in het jaar 2000 verwijderd, waarna de middeleeuwse vorm van de toren (in nieuw gebakken kloostermoppen) gereconstrueerd is. De preekstoel dateert uit de 17e eeuw. Het orgel uit 1862 is gemaakt door Willem Hardorff. De kerk is een rijksmonument.

Recently, two analysts from ICO advisory firm Satis Group predicted that bitcoin prices will hit $96,000 in the next five years.
"Currently, the vast majority of the total cryptoasset market capitalization is held in traditional store of value markets, with offshore deposits accounting for nearly 40% of the total," they stated in the report.
Going forward, growth in this market capitalization will come "primarily from increased store of value use case penetration," the analysts claimed.
Further, they predicted that as custody solutions "come online," the "penetration" of offshore deposits will increase "dramatically."
The analysts forecasted that the broader digital currency market would enjoy robust growth, reaching a total value of $3.6 trillion in 2028, roughly 1,700% higher than its current value of approximately $200 billion on CoinMarketCap.
When surveyed, analysts offered mixed responses to the report's prediction that bitcoin prices could reach $96,000 by 2023.
Some criticized the forecast as being overly bullish, while others emphasized the difficulty of accurately forecasting what a digital currency's price will be five years from now.
"Bitcoin's price can be anywhere in 5 years, from $10,000 to $100,000," stated Joe DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency fund of hedge funds BitBull Capital.
"An exact prediction is hard to provide because there are numerous fundamentals that are likely to change between now and 2023."
"Digital currencies and assets are the future of transactions and value storage, and Bitcoin is leading this revolution. But this doesn't make it easy to guarantee a specific price tag five years down the road."
Marouane Garcon, managing director of crypto-to-crypto derivatives platform Amulet, stated that the $96,000 price prediction "may be a bit ambitious."
"I don't think we'll hit $96,000 by 2023," he stated.
"I do believe BTC has a compelling use-case as a store of value, particularly in countries experiencing hyperinflation (Iran, Turkey, Venezuela), but to assume it will capture sizable market share from Private Banks in markets such as the US, Switzerland, Singapore, Germany, Netherlands, etc. over the next 5 years, is extremely optimistic."
Eric Ervin, CEO of Blockforce Capital, stated that "a $100,000 per coin valuation for bitcoin is entirely possible."
"Bitcoin's current 112 billion dollar market cap represents just 0.1% of the entire global money supply which is currently valued at approximately 90.4 trillion dollars," he added.
"To reach the price of $96,000 seems achievable given past bull markets," he stated.
"Digital assets are here to stay," he said.
Isaacs emphasized that while the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is roughly $200 billion, "the demand for money is around $200 trillion."
"If cryptocurrencies are truly solving the problems of paper and fiat currencies which I believe, we are going to see that 200 billion start to move up to 200 trillion and that gap close (that's a 100,000% gain)."
As a result, bitcoin prices could reach $96,000 during a "during a strong bull run leading up to the Bitcoin 'Halving' in 2020," he stated.

Jacky Sanchez - A Night in the Life of
Jacky Sanchez
A Night in the Life of
self-released; 2018
4.3 out of 5 - TOP ALBUM
By Jamie Funk
The idea that slacker rock is an easy concept that just involves making a lot of noise is a falsehood. Tune into the debut project A Night in the Life of by Jacky Sanchez (vocalist and guitarist Tony Sanchez, and guitarist, bassist and vocalist Vale Sanchez) a music project born in Paris, NY in 2007-2008 between the pair and you will get what I'm talking about. The songs here are stripped down and full of spunky, not quite punk, but sufficiently riotous at times rock. The recording is better than bedroom but definitely still has that DIY quality to it but without sounding like it was made to be so or just got screwed up to sound good by people who didn't know what they were doing and got lucky.
A Night in the Life of is a concept record of sorts about a night hotel auditor who "never slept" and had all sorts of ideas about things that ranged from war to gender studies. Tony and Vale took these ideas and sort of mushroomed them into songs that are at times quirky and catchy to others which are cathartic blends of heavy rock but always leaning towards the playfully experimental.
The opening track "The Dog" comes off like a Devo meets the Talking Heads song. It's quirky and sweet to say the least but also catchy as hell. Aside from that it begins to show the roots of how such a simple concept has so many layers. The elements here of bass guitar drums and vocals are errant in their tones but blend together so well as to sound seamless. Next comes the skiffle rocker "Feeling Better" which again captures the sheer ease of the sound as it is coming gracefully through the speakers, sounding as though it was borne so naturally and easily but then one is left with the question of why are there so many records of this ilk that fail to capture the ease of what is happening here.
Later comes another easy as pie rocker "Steve Goes to Bagdad" which in its two-minute incubation has more heft and imagination to it than so many of the tens of thousands of songs I've heard all year. Even in the long form they excel at miring and mining beauty from so little as they eloquently do on "Falling Tonight," which reminded me of the California neo-psych tricksters Foxygen.
With A Night in the Life of Jacky Sanchez have easily released a record that belongs on your top ten list for this year. I think it's hands down the best and most original record I've had the pleasure to review this year, or any year.
We are proud to be here with great musicians and we would like to thank Divide and Conquer for listening to our album. Thanks guys, a lot!

Dog House Music Studios Plans to Pay Bands to Livestream Concerts
Meet a Westword Music Showcase Band: CITRA
Ben Wiese
Ben Wiese | June 10, 2018 | 1:08pm
Brandon Arndt of CITRA.
Every year, the Westword Music Showcase brings some of the city's best acts to venues throughout the Golden Triangle neighborhood. To find out more about some of the acts that will be performing at the Showcase on Saturday, June 23, we send them a questionnaire that includes questions about the local music scene.
Here's what CITRA has to say:
Westword: What do you want readers to know about your music?
Westword Music Showcase Announces Local Schedule
Alan White of Yes Talks Fifty Years of Prog Rock
The Corner Girls Have the Classic Punk Origin Story
CITRA: High energy rock-and-roll. We don't think we're trying to change the world...just hopefully getting people out to shows and listening to the music to have a good time and forget about your life for an hour. We think if your goals are beyond that, then you're doing it for the wrong reasons. Most of all: We all try to write parts and songs that we ourselves would want to listen to, songs that get us excited as well as translate well live.
How has Denver influenced your sound?
It's such a musically open-minded city, so when you're a band from Denver, there are no rules...you can play anything, any style; do whatever you want creatively, and fully explore what your band is capable of. There's no fear in Denver, no expectations. Just practice and play well, and the city will support you. We have never felt pressured to write songs in a certain style — just what sounds good to us.
What are the biggest issues Denver musicians face in 2018 — good and bad?
There's such an incredible amount of musical talent in this city, it can be hard to get anyone's attention for more than thirty seconds. Everyone is flooded on social media 24/7 with an endless stream of information. We are always so eternally grateful when anyone takes the time to come to one of our shows, listen to our music, or just stop and chat with us.
If you could change anything about Denver's music scene, what would it be?
Bassoon is severely under-featured in the scene. Might be starting a GoFundMe in support.
What has you most excited about playing the 2018 Westword Music Showcase?
Obviously, we're biased...but the lineup on our stage at #Vibe is incredible. A big portion of who we consider Denver's best are going to be playing all on one stage. We highly suggest coming out. You may just find your new favorite band.
CITRA will perform at the Westword Music Showcase at 2:45 p.m. Saturday, June 23, at #Vybe, 1027 Broadway. Get more information and tickets at westwordshowcase.com.

Fire ravaged Anova School to Re-open Monday October 30, 2017
Santa Rosa, CA, October 28, 2017 - After three emotional and action packed weeks, the Anova Center for Education's Santa Rosa campus will re-open on Monday October 30, 2017. Previously at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, the Anova School lost most of the program to the Tubbs Fire and was out of session for three weeks.
Their 125 students from ages 5-22 will be temporarily divided and served in three locations in Sonoma County. Anova wishes to thank the Bennett Valley School District and the City of Healdsburg for generously offering classroom space to lease for our students. Along with Anova's Santa Rosa offices, these spaces will serve as Anova's home for the next few months.
Most Anova students are living with autism and find change or disruption to be extremely difficult. At least 9 Anova students also lost their home and therefore are at risk of displacement or other negative outcomes. Therefore the return of school programming is essential for our students and a huge accomplishment for the Anova families and our community.
It took an unprecedented amount of effort and cooperation on the part of the Anova team, local fire and building officials, local and state education administrators and many others to build the Anova School back to this point in only three weeks.
Anova co-founder Andrew Bailey said, "We are eternally grateful to our community for the support Anova has received in this endeavor. We are glad to be back to the 'new normal' and serving the children of the north bay at our three new locations."

Anova is changing the face of Autism
We Make:
Pam, parent – 1st grader
"Anova expects bumps in the road and finds out what makes these kids tick, what engages them, and what their strengths are. They focus on the positive attributes of each child, and by doing so undesirable traits fade away. Whereas others saw nothing but challenging behaviors, Anova sees an academically gifted, polite and sociable young person with great potential for success."
Amy, parent – 6th grader
"At Anova, my son is taught by people who understand his needs, and respect and care about him. He is now a totally different child; he's a confident, happy, and funny boy with friends,good grades, and in an environment allowing him to reach his full potential...and he achieved it all because of Anova."
Jami, parent – 7th grader
"Before Anova our family seemed caught in a web of confusion, of unanswered questions, of unsolved dilemmas, of anger and fear. At Anova we've been met with caring , compassion, competence, and most importantly, with people who truly have their hearts into helping these kids. I can't say enough about the integrity and mission of Anova, and for the quality and professionalism of the administrative as well as the teaching staff. For the first time I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that my son is being taught to live in the world and to grow to the best of his ability by loving, professional people I trust and have faith in."
Janice, parent – 4th grader
"Anova saved my son from being institutionalized. Prior to Anova, he was failing miserably and we were losing control of him...In all my years as a public school teacher and parent, I have never seen a more dedicated staff. They are working as hard as I am to make sure my child succeeds. Anova has not only given my son an opportunity at a rich and fulfilling life, they have given me my life back as well."
Mary Jeanne, parent – 11th grader
"The four months since our daughter began attending ACE have been the calmest in our family's life for the past 16 years. Rosie is happy and safe at ACE and, not incidentally, she is easier to live with. Prior to Anova, our daughter's teachers didn't understand her perspective or needs. As parents, we didn't fully understand her either. Anova faculty and staff value how she experiences the world and have a plan to meet her needs. Before attending Anova, never did Rosie get up willingly to go to school. Today, she is eager and independent, looking forward to the arrival of the bus each morning. What has Anova done for us? ...transformed our family life."
Marcella, parent of an 8th grader
"Our son comes home each day with a smile on his face and stories to tell. He has friends, a teacher and staff who know what he needs and provide it to him. Anova has given my son a chance to be a student, a friend, and most importantly, a sense of belonging to something 'normal'."
Laura, parent of an ACE elementary student
"Anova Education listens. They listen to students. They listen to parents. They listen to our community. So many of us in the autism community feel that no one listens; that no one cares. I know I felt that way. I know my son felt that way. We don't feel that way any longer...thanks to Anova."
Pam, parent of a 1st grader
"Finding and nurturing students' strengths is what ACE is all about. All the teachers at ACE have made Nate a happier person, our lives richer and more peaceful, and the future so much brighter than we ever could have imagined."
Julie, ACE Parent
"There are no words that could express how much we love our ACE teachers and staff. They took a boy that was damaged and molded him into a confident young man. They also took me, a cynical and distrustful parent, and showed me that there really are people that care. They are remembered in our prayers every day. We love you."
Allison, ACE Parent
"Our son has ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome. Changes in school environments had been very painful and affected his self-esteem. Within 8 weeks after starting at Anova, he told me on the car trip to school that he really loved going to Anova. I replied, "that's great! Why do you like Anova so much?" His response was telling: "because they get me and I feel like I'm somewhere I can finally grow."
ACE Parent
"Anova has changed our world. The opportunities that my son has at this school are so many. I have watched him gain confidence, make friends and keep them, and have a staff that creates an education plan meeting and fulfilling his needs. I really can't say enough about this school that is more than a school." – Anova Parent
Heidi Adler, ACE Sonoma School Director
"I had a district representative tell me recently that in her 27 years of education, she thinks we are by far one of the most exceptional programs she has ever seen. She is new to the area and had never been to ACE. Heidi said, "After tours and IEP meetings, people are always telling me what a talented staff we have and it is so very true. I am grateful every day to have the opportunity to work with each and every one of them! They never cease to amaze me with their talent, dedication and passion for what they do. They change lives every day."
Tim, Anova high-school parent
"We experienced an immediate, dramatic, and lasting improvement in our daughter's (and her family's) situation upon transferring her from her public high school to ACE. Other families at the school report similar experiences. "
Nancy, Anova parent
"Our Asperger's child won his elementary school's spelling championship, won a regional spelling competition, and went on to compete in a county-level spelling contest before losing interest. Without his perfectly-trained Anova assistant and the individualized behavior plan developed by Andrew Bailey, this child would not have been able to tolerate the social aspects involved in competition and recognition."
Tom and Jan, Parents
"When you are the parent of a child with special needs, there is no mountain you will not try to move. When our son was overwhelmed and frustrated by high school we sought help through Anova. Anova found the perfect behavioral aide to stand shoulder to shoulder with our son, someone with strength and character who spoke to our son the way we wish every teacher could. Anova has this family's gratitude"
Mary, parent of a 2nd grader
"Since starting my child at the ACE School, I have had the delight of watching my son blossom both behaviorally and academically. What's more, his teacher has helped me with a system that applies the social skills he is learning at school to our home environment. I am amazed at the changes I have seen."
Mary, parent of a 10th grader
"My son has been at Anova for over four years now and I can't believe he is the same child or young man. He is happy...happy with who he is...and he has friends! He has come so far. I will never be able to thank Anova enough for helping him find happiness again. My son will become an Eagle Scout this year. I never thought that would happen. The staff at ACE is so outstanding; words just don't say enough. They realize each and every child has different needs and try to meet them one way or another. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

В теории графов лестница Ln — планарный неориентированный граф с 2n вершинами и n+2(n-1) рёбрами .

Лестницу можно получить как прямое произведение двух путей, один из которых имеет только одно ребро — Ln = Pn × P1 . Если добавить ещё два пересекающихся ребра, соединяющих четыре вершины лестницы со степенью два, получим кубический граф — лестницу Мёбиуса.

По построению, лестница Ln изоморфна решётке G2,n и выглядит как лестница с n перекладинами. Граф является гамильтоновым с обхватом 4 (если n>1) и хроматическим индексом 3 (если n>2).

Хроматическое число лестницы равно 2, а её хроматический многочлен равен .

Кольцевой лестничный граф
Кольцевой лестничный граф CLn — это прямое произведение цикла длины n≥3 и ребра .
В символьном виде CLn = Cn × P1. Граф имеет 2n вершин и 3n рёбер.
Подобно лестницам граф является связным, планарным и гамильтоновым, но граф является двудольным тогда и только и тогда, когда n чётно.

physical properties of aluminium
Physical Properties of Aluminium. How did aluminum cans become so popular? Aluminum properties are so distinct that, it is being widely used in industry, household, medicine etc. 5. For example, aluminum transforms and forms a trioxide of aluminum oxide, when it is burned in oxygen. Aluminum … The reaction leads to the formation of manganese and aluminum dioxide. Aluminum alloys differ based on their types and percentages of alloying elements. Boiling point: This melted solution when further heated, it starts to boil at 2470°C, 4478°F. Aluminium properties differ between grades depending on the alloy present giving each grades certain, unique characteristics. Hence they are called amphoteric oxides. It is well tolerated by animals and plants and hence it is less toxic. Nowadays in advanced countries, aluminum became the important construction material for buildings especially for industrial buildings along with brick, cement and steel. It is very reactive so that in the atmosphere a thin but equally protective oxide layer forms rapidly. Melting point: When heated, aluminum starts to melt at a temperature of 660.3°C or 1220.5°F. It is nonmagnetic and does not easily ignite. Electrical resistivity: 2.7 × 10 ‑8 Ω m; or mΩ cm; Heat and conduction. Further, it can be easily recycled and disposal is environmentally friendly. Chemical and physical properties make up the characteristics of an element. But it reacts with steam to form aluminum hydroxide and hydrogen gas (g). The Physical properties of Aluminum are the characteristics that can be observed without changing the substance into another substance. Aluminum 6061-T6; 6061-T651 (Unverified Data**) Categories: Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Aluminum Alloy; 6000 Series Aluminum Alloy. Weight and density: It is very light in weight. Aluminium is an odourless, tasteless, silvery white metal. Physical properties of metals Metals are malleable :- All the metals can be beaten into thin sheets with a hammer e.g. This is because of its particular properties. Desiree Lavoy has been a freelance writer since 2006. 1. Aluminium properties differ between grades depending on the alloy present giving each grades certain, unique characteristics. Aluminum is a bright lustrous metal widely obtained from nature. The truth is that aluminum's use in manufacturing and industry has a short history, barely more than a century. It is one of the highly available elements making up to 8% of the earth's crust. Alum, any of a group of hydrated double salts, usually consisting of aluminum sulfate, water of hydration, and the sulfate of another element. Given the right type of surface, aluminium makes an excellent reflector, especially for ultraviolet light. By this, it shows reducing properties. Thermal conductivity: 235 W m ‑1 K ‑1; Coefficient of linear thermal expansion: 23.1 × 10 ‑6 K ‑1; Optical properties. It is smooth and soft to touch. In this article we will discuss about: 1. Aluminum has high reflectivity and can be used for decorative applications. T651 aluminum alloy mechanical behavior to aid design and analysis of aluminum structures during and after a fire. If a person keeps in mind the definition of a chemical property, that makes it easier. 2) has a low density. This treatment provides the alloys with medium to high strength, a good corrosion resistance even when used close to the sea,and also allows the use of welding processes. Its Brinell hardness is 95, with an elongation at break of 12% and shear strength of 31,000 psi. Within the family of metals only silver, copper and gold have better electrical conductivity.

Part 1: Pre-IPO – What's at Stake?
In the first of a 3-part series, we look at the pre-IPO process and all that it entails for businesses considering listing their business publicly. The Initial Public Offering, or IPO as it is more commonly known, is the process which a Private Limited Company applies to be listed on the stock exchange.
For businesses who have never done this before, it can be quite a daunting process – and one that we never advise you try on your own. We've broken the pre-IPO process down into 4 key phases.
Before a company even considers an IPO it must internally audit whether it's in a position to do so with a full business review. Understanding the issues that IPO cause and if the company can deal with the issues as they arise.
By undertaking an internal audit, its allows the company to understand and identify issues and then deal with them before the process begins. Planning and assessing in advance will help save both time and money, avoiding any issues that may arise when the IPO starts, therefore being prepared and more likely to complete the IPO transaction.
There are many types of IPO a private limited company can use to list on the stock market. An Initial Public Offer can use a combination of Fixed Price or Book Building Methods.
Fixed Price: In the Fixed Price method shares are offered in advance to the investor. The Issue price is disclosed in the final Prospectus, which will go into detail regarding the variables that justify the price. The Final Price may not be in the draft prospectus as factors that determine the price may change during the period from filing to going public.
Book Building: In this method, underwriters try to establish a price which to offer the IPO, based on interest shown by private investors. Book building involves 'building orders' from these investors based on the number of shares requested and at what price they are willing to pay. In this case, interested investors need to registrar an interest before 'closing of the book'. Potential Investors are not made aware of the price in advance, only an indicative price range is known. Once this happens the underwriter will establish an initial selling price for the offering.
For more information about types of IPO options available to you – read this -> When it's time for an IPO: It's time to know your type.
Once the company has taken on an internal audit and outweighed the benefits and risks off the IPO, if the board approves, they can go ahead with the initial stages assembling an IPO management team. This will include underwriters, lawyers, auditors, printers, sponsors/nomads, advisors, brokers, PR firm and accountants.
The selection of an IPO team can be a long process. It may involve a "Beauty pageant" style selection method. With the company formally inviting the various roles with an invitation to tender. Each role will be approached by various businesses, who will present to the company why they should be given the role, outlining previous experience and why they are a 'good fit' for the task.
Once the IPO team has been selected by key management, they can then go ahead with planning the IPO as a collective. Ensuring that the company has high-quality advisors is vital and should be consider one of the key areas of the Pre-IPO process.
For some business, a company reorganisation may be necessary in order for floatation. This process enables a company to identify and change any issues prior to the IPO process beginning, that will potentially cause details or suspend the IPO. Undertaking a Pre-IPO Reorganisation full prepares the business for the complex IPO transaction. Reorganisation may include both accounting and legal procedures.
Pre-Determining an appropriate governance structure can prepare a company for a successful IPO. Good governance procedures ensure a strong leadership team, whilst minimising risk and building a positive culture around the business to the benefit of shareholders. Strong governance can lead to prevention of harmful situations and subsequently presence in the media limelight for the wrong reasons.
This requires assessment of a number of areas, including things like the Structure and Function of Directors, Roles of Shareholder, Board and Management, Board Size, Board Skills and Capabilities, Clear Business Vision and Strategy, Risk Management and more.
Any company wishing to float needs to meet standards set by the listing authority. Standards include financial, operational and structure. The framework helps maintain market rules and quality of the listing market. Establishing an effective controls framework according to industry standardised practices. Moving on from outdated and redundant frameworks to reflect the current business environment.
If you are ready to consider entering into the IPO process, ensure that you surround yourself with the best team and route to success. Speak to us today to help you.

Ådals-Lidens landskommun var en tidigare kommun i Västernorrlands län.

Administrativ historik
Kommunen inrättades den 1 januari 1863 i Ådals-Lidens socken i Ångermanland när 1862 års kommunalförordningar trädde i kraft. Den 1 januari 1886 (enligt kungligt beslut den 17 april 1885) ändrades kommunens och socknens namn till Ådals-Liden, för att särskilja den från Lidens landskommun/Lidens socken i Medelpad, som bytte namn till Indals-Liden.

Kommunen påverkades inte av kommunreformen 1952 utan förblev oförändrad fram till år 1971 då den kom att bli en del av den nya Sollefteå kommun.

Kommunkod 1952-1970 var 2224.

Kyrklig tillhörighet
I kyrkligt hänseende tillhörde kommunen Ådals-Lidens församling.

Geografi
Ådals-Lidens landskommun omfattade den 1 januari 1952 en areal av 528,80 km², varav 494,10 km² land.

Tätorter i kommunen 1960

Tätortsgraden i kommunen var den 1 november 1960 34,3 procent.

Toon Tellegen (born 1941) has won many prizes for his children books. Besides poems, prose for adults and theater plays, he writes philosophical and absurdist animal stories about Squirrel, Ant, Mole, Hedgehog and other animals, who are carefully trying to find their way in an incomprehensible world. Here is an example of a story called The Elephant and the snail:
Things are seldom ordinary in Tellegen's world. Like in Wat dansen we heerlijk (What a Delightful Dance):
The bear dances with the honey cake, whispering sweet nothings as he gobbles down every last crumb of his dance partner, while the hedgehog only wants to dance with the squirrel if they can both do it in their own homes. "The way I dance is not a pretty sight," he confesses to the squirrel.
It is no surprise that he has won both the Theo Thijssen Prize (an oeuvre award for writers of books for children and young adults) and the Constantijn Huygens Prize for his entire oeuvre.
It is sooo much fun to read, and the stories of Toon bring valuable lessons for kids as well, just between the lines.

While Joe McCarthy never played a game in the majors, in 24 years as manager he collected seven world championships and nine pennants. His 2,125-1,333 record gives him an all-time best .615 winning percentage. Most of his success came with the Yankees, where he won four straight World Series from 1936-1939. After winning the NL pennant with the Cubs in 1929, McCarthy piloted the Yankees to a pennant in 1932 to become the first manager to win a pennant in both leagues.
Comments: At the 2004 National Sports Collector's Convention in Cleveland, OH I purchased a raw 1936 World Wide Gum card of legendary Yankee's skipper Joe McCarthy from Irv Lerner (along with a Medwick and Al Lopez). The card was submitted to PSA and graded VG-EX 4. In September, 2007 I picked up a 1938 Our National Game pin graded GAI 5 on eBay from Bruce Cohen (psa-graded-cards). With the pin in the collection, it was an easy decision for me to sell the '36 WWG card when I received an offer I couldn't refuse in October, 2007. The buyer really wanted to add a baseball card to his HOF collection and McCarthy doesn't have anything else besides the '36 WWG card. It's a tough card. SOLD!!! I ended up buying a couple more of the '38 pins trying to find a nicer example - no luck. But, I missed the card and really wanted to get my hands on another copy. Owning the pins wasn't enough. In September, 2011 the opportunity came up to do just that. A PSA 5 example showed up on eBay from seller Richard Probstein (probstein123) and I won the card.
Description: This unnumbered 30-pin set issued circa 1938 carries the American Card Catalog designation of PM8. The pins, which measure 7/8" in diameter, have a bendable "tab" rather thank a pin pack. The player photo is printed in blue-and-white. The player's name and team are printed on the bottom. The pins were originally sold on a square of cardboard decorated with stars and stripes, and imprinted "OUR NATIONAL GAME" above the pin, and "A BASEBALL HERO" below. A large number of the pins, complete with their cardboard backing, were found in a hoard in Oklahoma in the early 1990s.
