Appartement (L')
'Union in partition': A Midsummer Night's Dream in Mimouni's Apartment
Nathalie Crouau
1 The Apartment has a very intricate plot because it tells the same story twice in succession, from two different points of view. Elements which are missing in the first part of the film are revealed in the second and shed a completely new light on the events as they were previously depicted. What starts out as a love story between Max (Vincent Cassel) and Lisa (Monica Bellucci) soon turns out to be a love triangle when Alice (Romane Bohringer) becomes involved in the storytelling. The plot takes on the appearance of a jigsaw puzzle when scenes from the past are inserted in between scenes in the present, in the form of flashbacks.
2 References to A Midsummer Night's Dream appear at regular intervals throughout The Apartment since one of the characters is playing the part of Helena in a production of the play. The complicated love affairs of the main characters follow convoluted trajectories reminiscent of those of the Athenian lovers although the repeated reversals of situation in the film prevent a definitive identification of each protagonist with a specific part. There are obvious echoes between the main plot and the play within. In fact, the Shakespearean subplot is so interwoven in the main plot that it does not simply provide a mirror image but contributes to the unfolding story at four turning points.
Audition: the double woman
3 The first occurrence revolves around the character of Helena and introduces a major motif of the film: that of the double woman. Max is about to be married to his boss's sister. On the day when he is set to leave for a business trip to Japan, a chance encounter in a restaurant leads him to drop everything and start an improbable pursuit of his long lost love. Through the partition in the men's room, he hears the voice of a woman speaking on the phone and recognizes the love of his life, Lisa, who disappeared without a word of explanation several years before. He fails to catch up with her when she runs out of the restaurant but, as he inhales her perfume, he is submerged by a wave of recollections. He remembers how he fell in love at first sight and how, obsessed with her, he started stalking her to find out who she was.
4 The next scene is a flashback in which Max follows Lisa to a theatre where he sees her get onto the stage and say a few lines in front of a scattered audience. He thus discovers that Lisa is an actress. In this scene, it is not clear whether she is taking part in a drama class, auditioning for the part of Helena or simply rehearsing it.
5 The speech is taken from Act I, Scene 1 [1] and refers to a triangle of unrequited love: Helena loves Demetrius who loves Hermia and nobody returns anybody's love. This situation actually mirrors that of the protagonists at this point in the chronology of events though the backward and forward movements of the plot will not reveal that fact until much later in the film. When Max first falls in love with Lisa, he has already become the object of Alice's love. However, since the first half of the film tells the story from Max's perspective and he is totally ignorant of the existence of Alice, the love triangle is only revealed in the second half of the film, when Alice's story is presented. Therefore, in this scene, it is the excerpt from A Midsummer Night's Dream which provides a clue to what is to come. It announces the appearance of a second woman into this new relationship and the transformation she undergoes to resemble Lisa and steal Max from her.
6 Helena wants to duplicate Hermia's beauty: "My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye" (I.1.188). In this speech, however, Helena's words, while calling for sameness, emphasize the differences between Hermia and her, with the repeated opposition of "my" and "your": my ear / your voice; my eye / your eye; my tongue / your tongue. The French translation ― which is actually more a rewriting than a translation ― highlights only one part of the comparison, erasing Helena's features: "you only are beautiful" ("tu es la seule à être belle"), "your eyes," "your voice," "your beauty," "your own smile." Alice attempts to change herself into Lisa. She adopts her hairdo and her clothes, she becomes an actress, she moves into Lisa's apartment, borrows her car and even calls herself Lisa.
7 It would seem that the figure of Helena is more evocative of Alice than Lisa in the film. As it turns out, Lisa is called away and it is Alice who takes up the part of Helena in the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that is shown later on. Alice replaces Lisa in the way an understudy replaces the actress who is prevented from appearing on stage. Several elements point to her as Lisa's double, but a double in reverse.
8 First, there is of course the reversible name: Alice / Lisa. When they first meet, they are as completely different as could be imagined, in their physical appearances, ways of life and personalities: Lisa is a beautiful, sensual woman whereas Alice is a tomboy; Lisa goes out, parties, dances and brings men back to her apartment; Alice is a hermit who only leaves her apartment to visit the nearby library. Even after her transformation, Alice fails to accomplish a perfect resemblance. Max's friend Lucien (Jean-Philippe Ecoffey) sums up the situation in these words: "They have the same name, the same shoe size, but they're not the same woman. What does she look like?" Max answers: "Well, honestly, I don't understand how I can have mistaken one for the other." Even though Helena refers to Hermia and herself as "a double cherry: seeming parted, / But yet an union in partition," (III.2.210-11) the rest of the scene denies this assertion by highlighting their physical differences and points of contention. This dichotomy of sameness and difference is central in The Apartment. The whole structure of the film is based upon it since it tells the same story in two different ways.
9 The initial allusion to A Midsummer Night's Dream develops into a full-fledged production as the story progresses. As in Shakespeare's play, the production of the play within is a work in progress which is presented at different stages: after Lisa's possible audition for the part of Helena ― which recalls the casting of the parts played by the mechanicals (I.2) ― there is the rehearsal, complete with the stage manager's comments upon the acting and finally the performance. The film presents scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream in the order they appear in the play. These scenes also parallel the evolution of the love affairs in the film's main plot.
10 In the rehearsal scene, the subplot connects with the main plot in three different ways: thematically, verbally and visually. As Lucien rushes towards the theatre where Alice is rehearsing, we can hear Demetrius say "Je ne t'aime pas donc ne me poursuis pas." [2] This situation of pursuing someone without being loved in return corresponds to Alice pursuing Max but also to Lucien pursuing Alice. Although Alice treats him very poorly, Lucien keeps coming back to her. In this passage, Demetrius' words to Helena could almost be addressed to Lucien himself as he keeps chasing Alice while she loves another. At both ends of the excerpt, there are elements of continuity between the rehearsal of A Midsummer Night's Dream and the main story. At the beginning, the two shots are connected by the overlapping dialogue: the voice of the actor playing Demetrius is heard even before Lucien has entered the theatre. At the end, the two shots are connected by the corresponding dialogues. The rehearsal scene ends on the stage manager's angry remark to his actors: "Wake up!" The next scene shows Max talking to his fiancée Muriel over the phone. Max's answer to Muriel could also be a coherent answer to the stage manager's words. In both cases, they speak of an awakening. The stage manager tries to rouse his actors from a languid performance while Max pretends that he is waking up in Japan where he is supposed to be at that time. At the beginning and at the end of the excerpt, the lines of dialogue seem to have several potential recipients and resonate both inside and outside the theatre.
11 Visually too, the play within refers to the main plot, through the production's stage design. It represents a forest in autumn or at the beginning of winter ― we can see the fallen leaves strewn on the stage and the naked branches of the trees in the background. It recalls two recurrent settings in the film: Lisa's apartment and the little square where Lisa and Max used to meet. Lisa's apartment, which gives its title to the film, obviously plays a very important role. The predominant material in the interior design of the apartment is wood. The partitions of the rooms opening onto the main corridor are made of frosted glass covered with wooden patterns so that the light coming through the glass makes the wooden stems stand out like boughs. The characters walking through the apartment thus seem to be wandering in a stylised forest. In an interview with Le Figaro, Gilles Mimouni explained that, for financial reasons, all the film's interiors were shot in a studio in Madrid, which suited him perfectly: it allowed him to "create dreams and nights" where "what's fake is much more beautiful than what's real." [3]
12 Beside these elements, the dialogue of the play within, very loosely translated from Shakespeare, seems to be deliberately more colloquial and made to resemble the dialogues in the film which are not Shakespearean. These elements contribute to make the excerpt from A Midsummer Night's Dream blend in, as it were, with the rest of the plot.
13 Parallels can be found between The Apartment and A Midsummer Night's Dream throughout the film. But the excerpts from Shakespeare's play also contribute to the progression of the main plot. In The Apartment, suspense is based on the deferral of several revelations about the identity of the mysterious woman that Max is pursuing. First, we discover that she is not the Lisa from Max's past (Monica Bellucci) but another woman named Lisa (Romane Bohringer). Then we meet Alice, in Helena's guise, in the rehearsal scene. Because her whole face is hidden under make-up, we do not know what she looks like. The revelation of her true identity takes place in two phases which correspond to the two other occurrences of the play within.
14 The first of these two occurrences shows us the woman who passes herself off as Lisa (Romane Bohringer) sitting at her mirror in a changing room and putting on theatrical make-up to transform herself into Helena. This transformation reveals her to be the same woman we saw during the rehearsal, that is to say Lucien's girlfriend Alice. Interestingly enough, in this scene, the make-up serves as a means to reveal what it used to conceal, that is to say Alice's double identity. Although there is no quotation from Shakespeare's text in this extract, there is a visual allusion to A Midsummer Night's Dream through the poster of a production of the play ― possibly the one they are rehearsing ― on the wall, next to the mirror. Alice's double identity is further revealed by Lucien's slip of the tongue when he comes to wish her luck: he calls her Alissa or Alicia, thus combining both names in one. This passage paves the way for the final reference to Shakespeare's play in the film: the performance.
15 In this extract, Alice finds herself in a situation which is somewhat similar to that of the character she impersonates as she is for the first time in the presence of her two lovers at the same time. The scene is Act II, Scene 2. Helena is wooed by both Demetrius and Lysander. Alice is confronted with the presence in the audience of the man she loves (Max) and the man who loves her (Lucien). As soon as Max appears, the dramatic illusion is broken and she is unable to play her part any more. She fears her deception will be revealed if Max recognises her, so she stands on the stage with her back to the audience and covers her face with her hands. She forgets her lines, misses her cues and tries to escape into the wings. When she faints onstage as Hermia evokes the serpent eating her heart away, the curtain falls at the same time on her pretence and on the performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
16 Alice's reaction in this scene seems a bit extreme. After all, her features are hidden by make-up, which makes it unlikely that Max might recognise her. But Helena's guise has changed functions: it no longer hides, it reveals. In the following scene, the stage manager fires Alice from the company. She decides to stop lying and to leave for Italy. The end of her part as Helena coincides with the end of her manipulations. She dissolves into tears and those tears wash her make-up away.
a) Time
17 The echoes of Shakespeare's play in the film's main plot are numerous. The evocation of time is a significant example. At the beginning, the time frame for the events pictured in the film is given by Max's secretary who reminds him to pick up a wedding ring for his fiancée Muriel before going away to Japan for four days. Max reacts by saying that it is a long time to be away from her. This mirrors Theseus' complaint at the beginning of Act I:
Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour
Draws on apace. Four happy days bring in
Another moon ― but O, methinks how slow
This old moon wanes! (I.1.1-4)
18 During these four days, Max wakes up in a different bed each morning. As he is not supposed to be in Paris, he cannot go back to his apartment. Like the lovers wandering in the forest, he is temporarily homeless. This is also the case for Alice who has lent her flat to Lisa and wakes up in the arms of a different man each morning: once with Max, once with Lucien.
19 For both Max and Alice, whose points of view constitute the two parts of the film, sleeping is associated with a flashback, suggesting that "the dream has its own time frame, freed from the constraints of chronology and coherence." [4] The structure of the film, which is a jigsaw puzzle of two points of view and two different timelines, repeating the same situations at a different time or seen from a different vantage point, echoes to some extent the problematic timeline of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
b) The flower
20 Another motif which establishes a parallel between The Apartment and Shakespeare's play is the flower. Lisa is hiding in Alice's apartment from her current lover, Daniel, because she suspects he has murdered his wife. At the funeral, he lays a single white rose on his wife's coffin before she is cremated. As it is set on fire, the white rose turns red. After the funeral, Daniel stops on his way to Lisa's apartment to buy a single red rose which he leaves on Lisa's doorstep, along with a letter. Max then replaces Daniel's letter by his own. When Alice comes to the apartment, she finds the letter and the rose and believes both come from Max. When Max enters the apartment later on, his eye is drawn to a painting above the bed representing two women. One is asleep on a sofa. The other one stands over her with a red rose in her hand. Finally, when Lisa comes back to the apartment at the very end of the film, she finds a single white rose in a vase. Daniel, who believes she has cheated on him (mistaking Alice for her), lights up a fire which blows up the whole apartment.
21 The recurring flower evokes the magical means used in A Midsummer Night's Dream to make people fall in and out of love. The white rose symbolises the end of love and also death while the red rose is a symbol of love. The fact that the red rose should end up in the wrong woman's hands (Alice instead of Lisa) who believes it was sent by the wrong man (Max instead of Daniel) seems appropriate in relation to Puck's mistaken use of the juice of the magical flower. The enigmatic painting above the bed may also be a way to evoke Alice's manipulations and deceptions to keep Max and Lisa apart. In this case, she is the one who misuses the powers of the magical flower by interfering in the lovers' relationship. This picture has an eerie resemblance with a 1955 painting by Balthus whose title ― "the Dream 1" [5] ― seems to reinforce the connection with A Midsummer Night's Dream. The composition of both paintings is very similar. However, there are some changes in patterns and colours and a few elements are displaced or removed. In Balthus' painting, the woman holding the rose is a blonde, whereas in the film's painting, both women have dark hair, like Lisa and Alice. This suggests that the painting is both a reference to the original which inspired it and a reinterpretation of it in the context of the film.
22 In The Apartment, the presence of the play within highlights echoes between the film and A Midsummer Night's Dream. It also plays a part in the twists and turns of the plot itself. One could argue that the failure of the performance is significant in relation to the ending of the film. The connexions between Shakespeare's play and the film focus on the four Athenian lovers. However, unlike A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Apartment is not a comedy. There are even tragic elements in the ending. Once again, a parallel can be drawn with Helena's words in Act III, Scene 2: "'Tis partly my own fault, / Which death or absence soon shall remedy" (244-45). Death is Lisa's fate while absence is Alice's final choice. It seems that since the performance of the play within was cut short, so were the love affairs of the protagonists of the film. This is an intriguing possibility when we compare The Apartment with its American remake, Wicker Park (2004), directed by Paul McGuigan. [6] Gilles Mimouni is credited as executive producer for this adaptation but it is hard to say whether he had a significant influence over it or not. In many respects, the second film follows the structure of the first. There are, however, two main changes which are significant: a happy ending and a different play within. In Wicker Park, the play within is not A Midsummer Night's Dream but Twelfth Night. The rehearsal scene shows Cesario/Viola promising Orsino: "I'll do my best / To woo your lady ― [aside] yet a barful strife ― / Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife" (I.4.40-42). This alludes to the fact that Alex (the American Alice) is supposed to act as a go-between and deliver a letter from Lisa to Matt (the American Max). Being in love with Matt herself, she withholds the letter, thus causing an estrangement between the two lovers. The performance scene shows the wooing of Olivia by Cesario, with Cesario claiming "I am not who I am," a slight change from the play's original line which reads "I am not what I am" (III.1.139). The double meaning is obvious as it refers to the double gender of Cesario/Viola as well as to Alex's double dealings. The striking difference with The Apartment is that this performance is very successful and is greeted by a standing ovation from the audience. When Alex's deception is revealed later on, her words to Matt are a distorted echo of those she pronounced as Cesario earlier on the stage: "You see me for who I am." Matt eventually goes back to Lisa, the lovers are reunited and no one gets killed in an explosion. In The Apartment, after the failure of the performance of Shakespeare's play, interrupted at the pinnacle of confusion in the lovers' affairs, the tragic possibilities of the play within seem to be realized in the main plot: death and absence. In Wicker Park, the performance is allowed to unfold all the way and reach its happier conclusion, echoed by the happy ending of the film. The comparison between the two films is thus interesting as it seems to show how much potential influence the Shakespearean subplot can have on the main plot.

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Bakar sent an apology to Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants following derogatory remarks he made about flight attendant of American carriers. Ms. Nelson replied to his letter, accepting his apology while making it clear that US workers continue to recognize the threats posed to their careers as long as airlines continue to violate the Open Skies Agreement.
I received your apology for your private event comments that were heard loud and clear by airline workers around the world. As a leader in the aviation industry, you know that your words carry weight and should be taken at face value. I accept your apology.
What I cannot accept is continued refusal to follow the rules of fair competition. You say that competition among air carriers is robust, and must remain healthy. However, your airline's insistence on violating its Open Skies agreements by receiving billions in subsidies from the Qatari government undermines any hope for healthy competition. In fact, these subsidies threaten my job and the jobs of my colleagues. It threatens our ability to provide for our families, to pay our mortgage and send our children to college.
You have openly bragged about the benefits your airline enjoys as a result of these subsidies and the effect it has on the global aviation industry, to say nothing of the jobs you put at risk. If you were genuine about your desire for healthy and robust competition, you would end this massive subsidization and compete for customers' business the same as every other airline.
Your offensive comments and the subsidies your airline receives perhaps indicate a belief that you can operate outside of rules and norms. The integrity of Open Skies counts on your participation in fair competition, and the people on the frontlines of aviation expect that basic level of respect for our contributions to this industry. I hope your apology marks the beginning of a reevaluation by you and your airline to adhere to the same rules that the rest of the aviation industry has been following for years.


Rutland's first Admiral Nurse, Angela Moore, has been appointed by Rutland County Council, in partnership with Dementia UK.
Angela's role will be to provide support to families facing the most complex cases of dementia in the community, working alongside existing services to improve the wellbeing of carers as well as the person with dementia.
Admiral Nurses provide the specialist dementia support that families need. When things get challenging or difficult, these nurses work alongside people with dementia, their families and carers: giving them one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions.
Rutland is only the second local authority in the whole of the UK to have a dedicated Admiral Nurse among its social care services.
Before starting her role at Rutland County Council, Angela was an Admiral Nurse at Hinchingbrooke Hospital supporting patients with dementia and their families. She has experience of working with hospital staff to improve dementia care in wards.
Part of her role at Rutland County Council will be an extension of this where she will be encouraging best practice and education amongst health and social care professionals throughout the community.
"It's a privilege to be Rutland's first Admiral Nurse and to provide advice and support to families facing the most complex dementia needs. With its rural setting it can be a challenge for people in Rutland to access dementia support services and we want to make this easier. I will also be taking on an advisory role for GPs, care homes and other health and social care providers in the area, and I'm looking forward to seeing the impact we can make together".
Rutland County Council has partnered with Dementia UK to provide the service. Dementia UK will continually train, develop and support Angela in her new role.
"Dementia can be frightening and lonely for many and it's important to have the right health and social care provision in place. With Angela's one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions she will be able to make a real difference within the Rutland area."
The Admiral Nurse Service is fully funded by Rutland County Council. Referrals can be made by carer self-referral, healthcare professionals, GPs, social workers, voluntary organisations and through the AGE UK dementia advisor for Rutland.


This weekend and the beginning of the next week will witness an unprecedented rise in US diplomatic activity in a region which until lately was a "black hole" in Washington's foreign policy but has acquired new importance after the administration announced its "strategic pivot" towards Asia.
The diplomatic offensive begins with the American triumvirate – President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta – visiting Cambodia. The agenda includes both bilateral talks with respective counterparts and the participation in the East Asia summit in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh.
Later, the US President and his men (as well as the woman) will also visit Thailand and Myanmar.
What makes the tour historic is not just the fact that never before had any US President visited Cambodia or Myanmar (formerly, Burma), but the attempt to establish substantial presence in what has for a long time been regarded as China's domain. Both Myanmar and Cambodia are looked upon as China's allies in the region, and both countries have been in a kind of international isolation for decades which allowed China to dominate their economies as well as politics.
But times are changing, and the "strategic pivot" announced late last year presupposes that the US is going to exert efforts in order to not only limit China's expansion in the fields it is aiming to conquer, but also to press China out of areas which it has long regarded as its backyard.
On Thursday, The Washington Post published a lengthy article by a staff writer, Craig Whitlock, on national security and the Pentagon dealing with the issues of the US cooperation with Cambodia in the field of counterterrorism.
These countries include the Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Cambodia, and Pentagon officials seem little concerned that all those countries are not on the list of those which respect human rights.
[I]n the past, while Washington apparently distanced itself from Cambodian leadership, it did not prevent Hun Sen's three sons from receiving an education in US universities. His eldest son and heir apparent Hun Manet, for example, received a degree from the US Military Academy at West Point, and presently serves as deputy commander of Cambodian Army.
Various human right bodies have expressed concerns about President Obama's visit to Cambodia citing gross human rights violations in that country. One of the latest incidents in the row occurred just a couple of days before Obama's arrival in Phnom Penh. Eight villagers living close to the international airport were arrested for placing Obama's portraits and SOS signs on the roofs of their houses trying to attract the US President's attention to their problems.
Despite criticism from human rights activists, the administration' s top brass have not altered their plans and the visit is going ahead.
Too much is at stake both for Washington and Phnom Penh. Washington's aims have been outlined above and are too clear.
As for Hun Sen, American assistance in training a counterterrorist unit is also of grave importance – it allows him to have at hand a loyal tool to suppress an attempted coup or any other challenge to his supremacy.
When the two are combined together, forget about human rights!


When studying automatic, biometric face recognition it is import to understand what an appropriate baseline performance level is. Research has often shown that humans are actually not that good at doing face recognition, especially when comparing a photograph with a person in front of them.
Here is some more research in this area.
Experiments suggest that telling if two unfamiliar faces are the same or different is no easy task. … A new article in Applied Cognitive Psychology confirms these fears, suggesting that our real-world capacity to spot fakes in their natural setting is even worse than imagined.

I could see some value, perhaps, in a tablet that I share with my wife, where each of us have our own accounts, with independent configurations, apps, and settings. We could each conveniently identify ourselves by our fingerprint. But biometrics cannot, and absolutely must not, be used to authenticate an identity. For authentication, you need a password or passphrase. Something that can be independently chosen, changed, and rotated. I will continue to advocate this within the Ubuntu development community, as I have since 2009.

A new book chapter by Jean Camp and myself is now available. It appears in a new collection edited by George Yee titled Privacy Protection Measures and Technologies in Business Organizations: Aspects and Standards. Here is the abstract, citation information, and link to the book.
In August 2007 approximately 445,000 letters were sent to retirees who belonged to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). This was a routine mailing, but all or a portion of each pensioner's Social Security Number (SSN) was printed on the address panel of the envelopes, making this event all but ordinary. This massive breach of sensitive SSNs, along with names and addresses, exposed these people to potential identity theft and fraud. What are the harms associated with a data breach of this nature? How can those harms be mitigated? What are, or should be, the costs and consequences to the organization releasing the data? While it is very difficult to predict the specific consequences of a data breach of this nature, a statistical model can be used to estimate the likely financial repercussions for individuals and organizations, and the recent settlement in the TJX case provides a good model of harm mitigation that could be applied in this case and similar cases.

Star Ocean First Departure R Worldwide Release For PS4 And Switch
Star Ocean First Departure R, Remake of the First Entry in the Series, Confirmed For Worldwide Release
May 25, 2019 Azario Lopez
Square Enix confirmed today that they will be developing Star Ocean First Departure R as a remake of the first title in the Star Ocean series for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch to be released worldwide.
Star Ocean First Departure R will feature the same story like as the TOSE developed Star Ocean First Departure which released on PlayStation Portable in 2007. The game was an enhanced remake of the first entry of Star Ocean, which marked the first time western players will able to play an official version of the first Star Ocean title. The game used prerendered backgrounds and featured a 3D battle system that showed character illustrated facial features. This entry of the game was a complete overhaul of the first title and used the same engine used in Star Ocean: The Second Story, which also released on the PlayStation handheld.
More information is said to release soon about Star Ocean First Departure R, but right now all fans can do is wait. If this title will be a full 3D remake of the first entry of the series, it could mark a complete reboot of the entire series, which might be good for it since 2016's Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness wasn't well received in the west.
We'll be sure to keep you up to date with any new information as it comes.

Q: Why do I get a syntax error with "Sinatra: Up and Running" game.rb "Rock Paper Scissors"? I'm following this example from "Sinatra: Up and Running", and I get the following error message:

game.rb:8: odd number list for Hash
      @defeat = { rock:  :scissors, paper:  :rock, scissors:  :paper }
                                  ^
  game.rb:8: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting '}'
      @defeat = { rock:  :scissors, paper:  :rock, scissors:  :paper }
                                  ^

after running:
$ ruby -rubygems game.rb

However, I have no idea why it has trouble with this statement. I copied the code straight from the book. I've tried many variations and nothing seems to work. This code is suppose to output "Ouch rock beats scissors. Better luck next time!" if I go to localhost:4567/throw/scissors and the computer chooses rock.
game.rb below
require 'sinatra'

# before we process a route, we'll set the response as
# plain text and set up an array of viable moves that
# a player (and the computer) can perform
before do
  content_type :txt
  @defeat = {rock: :scissors, paper: :rock, scissors: :paper}
  @throws = @defeat.keys
end

get '/throw/:type' do
  # the params[] hash stores querystring and form data.
  player_throw = params[:type].to_sym

  # in the case of a player providing a throw that is not valid,
  # we halt with a status code of 403 (Forbidden) and let them
  # know they need to make a valid throw to play.
  if !@throws.include?(player_throw)
    halt 403, "You must throw one of the following: #{@throws}"
  end

  # now we can select a random throw for the computer
  computer_throw = @throws.sample

  # compare the player and computer throws to determine a winner
  if player_throw == computer_throw
    "You tied with the computer. Try again!"
  elsif computer_throw == @defeat[player_throw]
    "Nicely done; #{player_throw} beats #{computer_throw}!"
  else
    "Ouch; #{computer_throw} beats #{player_throw}. Better luck next time!"
  end
end

By the way the code I used for the original question was actually one of the "fixes" I tried not the actual book code. Apparently the book code had the same thing sczizzo suggested. However, I'm still getting an error (see above). Anyway if I try sczizzo alternative:

{  :rock  => :scissors, :paper => :rock, :scissors => :paper  }

then game.rb compiles, but I get a runtime error:

#<NoMethodError: undefined method `sample' for [:rock, :scissors, :paper]:Array>

if I visit http://localhost:4567/throw/scissors
Solution: Instal Ruby 1.9!
Thanks everyone

A: I believe they meant @defeat = { rock: :scissors, paper: :rock, scissors: :paper }. Now, that's using a new-style Ruby hash, which might also be written like this: { :rock => :scissors, :paper => :rock, :scissors => :paper }.

A: The error explains where the problem is. If you paste the definition for @defeat into IRB:
1.9.2p290 :002 > @defeat = {rock :scissors, paper :rock, scissors :paper}
SyntaxError: (irb):2: syntax error, unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting keyword_do or '{' or '('
@defeat = {rock :scissors, paper :rock, scissors :paper}
                 ^

You can fix it by following the answer given by @sczizzo.

On 19 May 2006, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) adopted Resolutions of the 81st Maritime Safety Committee - MSC 202(81) and MSC 211(81) - which made amendments to the International Convention of Safety of Life At Sea, 1974 (SOLAS) and introduced the establishment of the Long Range Identification and Tracking system (LRIT) for reasons related to national security.
The main purpose of the LRIT ship position reports is to enable a Contracting Government to obtain ship identity and location information in sufficient time to evaluate the security risk posed by a ship off its coast and to respond, if necessary, to reduce any risks.
At the 83rd Maritime Safety Committee the purpose and scope of LRIT was extended to include search and rescue (SAR), safety, and protection of the marine environment (MSC 242(83)). The LRIT system is mandatory for all passenger ships, high speed craft, mobile offshore drilling units and cargo ships of over 300 gross tonnes.
The SafeSeaNet Ecosystem Graphical User Interface (SEG) is the common web interface providing access to EMSA's maritime applications and data sets including SSN, IMS, LRIT and CSN.
The Maritime Support Services Operations Centre is at the heart of EMSA's maritime monitoring and information activities.

So I'm going back to school.
I have achieved the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines and Spirits, as well as becoming a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers.
For some people, this may be enough. It's a reasonably high level of knowledge and would serve one well in the wine industry.
But for myself, I feel… uneasy.
So I have signed up for the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines and Spirits.
Amongst other things, it entails a further two years of guided study.
It doesn't look like much, but it's quite comprehensive… and I will have to pass all of these units in order to earn this diploma.
I'm not without my doubts. Two years is a large commitment, not to mention the monetary cost of the entire course.
I've written of taking leaps of faith and changing your perspective in order to enrich your life experience.
Quite simply, I believe this is the next step in order for me to achieve the same.
So let's see where this path takes me. I look forward to sharing my experience with you right here.

My research interests coalesce around two significant questions: How do people develop geographic and cultural identifications? How do geographic regions come into being? In particular, I am interested in the role circulation (of goods, people, news, and ideas) plays in the configuration of geographic spaces, collective identities, geopolitical projects, and political allegiances.
I explore these themes from a Latin American and Caribbean perspective, especially by looking out to the world from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. My first book, An Aqueous Territory, examines the configuration of a transimperial Greater Caribbean and its inhabitants' geopolitical imagination through a study of the role of sailors in the creation of a regional space and the multiple ways in which less mobile (but by no means static) subjects, including autonomous indigenous groups, sugar planters, military adventurers, and nation makers, experienced the region sailors created.
My broader interests include the emergence of globalization during the early modern period, hemispheric connections and mobilities, the history of late colonial and early national Latin American countries (especially Colombia and its Caribbean region), indigenous-European encounters in the Caribbean Basin, the rise of capitalism, the development of plantation societies in the Caribbean, the flow of ideas, people, and commodities across the Atlantic Ocean, and the role of oceans in world history.
I am from Colombia and without a student visa I would not have been able to pursue doctoral studies nor become a professor at Cornell. I teach students to understand the process of creation of patriotic narratives and to identify the purposes behind those narratives, as well as the multiple perspectives these narratives seek to erase. I think international students are an important part of what makes U.S. universities and the U.S. great.

Last summer after 10 years at my previous company I decided it was time for a change, for various reasons, but a daily commute of over an hour each way, leaving the house at 6:30am and returning home, via picking children up from childcare, at around 6pm was a big factor. I wanted to increase the time I spent with my children and reduce my stress levels.
So when I saw a part-time, home-based marketing manager role advertised I jumped at the chance, quickly applied and was lucky enough to join the Chiumento team six months ago. Since I've had numerous comments from friends, family, past-colleagues as to how lucky I am… that I've found the dream role and what an easy life I must have… This is at times followed by statements such as.. 'I bet you get so much done around the house', 'So you can squeeze your week's work into a day and then have the other two off', 'Really you're just sitting at home and watching This Morning aren't you?'.
I am very lucky that the culture here at Chiumento is one of trust. My manager, while there if I need him, doesn't constantly check what I am doing, I don't get daily calls to see if I'm at my desk and nor do I have to check in. I am treated like and adult and it is assumed that I am putting in the hours needed. I am measured on my outputs and not the time I spend at my desk.
I admit (maybe I shouldn't as my boss will read this), that at times I take slightly longer than my allocated lunch hour and do a few household chores, that I have attended morning meetings at my daughter's school and not got to my desk until nearer 10am and I've even managed a rather rushed lunchtime trip to Ikea, one which I won't try again! But to counteract this I have spent many an evening constructing a blog post, or scheduling tweets while sat on the sofa and have happily given a few hours here and there on my non-working days to ensure a deadline is met.
I see this sacrifice of my free time as one I'm willing to make as it means that I have flexibility during normal working hours that many crave. If I am not feeling that creative I can go for a quick walk to clear my mind and come back to my desk energised and ready to get cracking. I am sure that wouldn't be possible, or would be frowned upon, within many offices. I can get an appointment at the doctors quicker than before, as I can go at any time rather than have to wait for an elusive evening slot. I also don't have to miss any of my daughter's school activities and have made it to every concert, curriculum meeting and swimming session. All without a negative impact on my outputs.
I strongly believe that as technology breaks down the practical barriers to working from home, that it should become the norm. Without the distraction of office banter or the lengthy commute I am able to achieve more each day than I did previously. I am considerably less stressed as I don't have the daily worry that my train will be late/won't be running and as a mother I have less guilt. I can take my daughter to school each morning rather than leave the house before she wakes up.
This is often called work-life balance and there have been many conversations about how to improve it and what are the key elements of getting it right. For me, that implies that it is always a balancing act and one or the other will always take precedence. I think it's more about work-life integration, where they both happily coexist with neither one losing out to the other. It's about integrating your working life into your home one in a way that works for you.
I know I am lucky and not every company is as forward thinking and as trusting as Chiumento. That perhaps many of those who occasionally work from home, do take advantage and do less work than their manager would be happy with. But for many, working from home is just that, working.

Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky providing a safe, warm, life-saving shelter for local homeless
November 20, 2019 /in Featured Stories /by Laura Keener
Monica Yeamans, Editorial Assistant.
In recent days the nighttime temperatures dropped well below freezing. There are limited beds available in emergency shelters all across this nation not just in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The realities of homelessness are visible on the cities' street corners and overpasses. This week — National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (Nov. 16 – 24) — encourages the community not just to see but to gain insight.
Adult, white males and females, 62 or older, are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. They are typically retired, on a fixed income and with rising rents can no longer afford an apartment.
The Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky,Covington, is trying to help by providing a safe, warm, life–saving shelter for the local homeless, men and women, ages 18 and up. At the current location this year there are only 32 beds available on a first-come, first–served basis compared to 75 beds in past years at the same location, due to stricter enforcement of fire codes.
The Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky is a "low barrier" winter shelter which means, "We remove all the barriers to entrance or as many as we can remove," said Kim Webb, executive director of the shelter. "We are not asking for a commitment to programming; we don't require a drug test; we don't require a background check; we simply are here to provide a life-saving bed for you so you don't suffer or die outside."
Thanks to an agreement with the local Salvation Army the 35 or more homeless who would have ordinarily stayed at the Emergency Shelter have a spot on the floor at their gymnasium during the nights below freezing. This is only a temporary solution to a growing homeless population.
The Emergency Shelter must staff the Salvation Army building during the nights it is in use as a shelter and they also must launder all the blankets every day. The staff sets up every evening and must clear the gym every morning. Homeless men and women sleep on Red Cross mats or cots or yoga mats with two or three blankets to keep warm (the gymnasium is cold).
The Emergency Shelter is also responsible for trans- porting the clients to and from the Salvation Army build- ing that is located 12 blocks from the Emergency Shelter building.
"We're making it work because it is the right thing to do; because it is a human dignity issue," said Ms. Webb. "We're keeping people alive … We are dealing with life and death and our focus is on the life."
A few churches have taken in some homeless in past years to help out — usually in January or February during the coldest months.
"The reality is there are no beds. There are no consistent beds. The churches know the parameters and how hard it is to do this; to operate what deems to be a right to shelter when temperatures are below 32. It is challenging at best. It has stretched us in ways that we never thought we could stretch. In 2019 the fact that we have a growing senior population sleeping on a yoga mats is incredulous," said Ms. Webb.
Nationally, about two-thirds of homeless people are single adults with 70 percent men, 29 percent women and one percent of people who identify as other, said Ms. Webb. For the most part, seniors are who are homeless do not have an addiction problem but instead are being priced out of apartments. From the winter of 2016–2017 to the winter of 2017–2018 there was an 87 percent increase in seniors that are homeless; many with increasing health issues and with walkers or in wheelchairs.
"It is heartbreaking, heart wrenching," said Ms. Webb. "We are the only handicap accessible shelter; the only option for them."
"We have always known that the risk is greater for someone outside our building than inside our building," said Ms. Webb. "We know that the unsheltered homeless are three times more likely to die outside than someone who is sheltered. We know that across the nation and the state of Kentucky that in other buildings and shelters when they deem it to be a white flag day (bitterly cold) or a weather concern the occupancy changes — it becomes unlimited to a certain degree because they value life. For me, as a Catholic, this is a life issue. Right to life is not just about an unborn baby. This is about the other end, too, of the adults in our community."
Ms. Webb said that in Northern Kentucky she sees the best of humanity.
"People really do care. This is my faith community and this is what we do," she said about the people who support the Emergency Shelter.
While the Emergency Shelter is non-denominational, Ms. Webb said, "We know the power of prayer and faith. Our focus is the fact that we meet people where they are when they are in need of a compassionate and non-judgmental way. My job is to keep [them] alive and provide the basic necessities so that [they] can maintain hope and dignity and hopefully have them end their homelessness."
To help keep homeless men and women warm during the daytime hours and nights above 32 degrees the Emergency Shelter collects and distributes winter hats, gloves, hand warmers, scarves, boots, socks and long johns for their clients. Twin-size blankets are also needed for those who sleep on the gym floor at the Salvation Army building.
Volunteers are needed to help with the blanket washing and drying. Help is also needed with client transportation to and from the Salvation Army building.

In the midst of a faith crisis — the stakes are high
November 13, 2019 /in Catechesis /by David Cooley
By David Cooley.
I have read many religious resources that state that there is a crisis of faith among Catholic young people. I don't doubt that at all. Recent studies estimate that only 20 percent of young Catholics are practicing their faith by the age of 22. But I wonder, is there not also a crisis of faith among older generations? I, personally, don't think the spiritual struggle has an age bias. I think it's fair to say that young Catholics aren't going to see their faith lives as important if their parents and relatives don't see their faith lives as important, at least while they are still in their formative years.
You have to give children and young adults a little credit, they can tell if you really believe or not. They can see how important going to Mass is to you and how much time you spend praying. If you spend most of your time on a cell phone or watching Netflix, that's probably how they are going to spend most of their time, too. But, we must ask ourselves, is our Catholic faith important enough to spend time on; to sacrifice for? We simply can't escape the fact that if we are going to pass down the faith we have to know and understand it ourselves. Moreover, we can't truly understand our faith unless we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The failure to center our lives on Christ has serious consequences, especially for young people who look up to us for answers.
There is a lot of pressure growing up in today's world. Youth have to deal with a lot of things that we didn't have to deal with growing up (social media for example!), and if we do not meet our children where they are they will be bombarded by a culture and a way of life that leads them to nothing but emptiness and sadness.
Three different secular news articles recently caused me to pause and reflect on that fact. The first was from USA Today and was titled "'Deaths of despair' from drugs, alcohol and suicide hit young adults hardest." It reported that drug-related deaths, alcohol deaths and suicides among millennials — a generation typically defined as those born between 1981 and 1996 — soared 108 percent, 69 percent and 35 percent respectively. An analysis of the data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that the increase for these three "deaths of despair" for people who are 23 to 38 years old were higher than for baby boomers and senior citizens. The article went on to site possible reasons for this, including burdensome levels of debt, difficulty in starting careers and the opioid crisis. Since many millennials have families of their own, these addiction struggles and overall poor mental health conditions could have a serious impact on multiple generations for years to come.
The second article from Daily Mail was titled "Loneliest generation: A quarter of millennials say they have no friends." The article described an unprecedented sense of loneliness among young adults despite the ability to call, text, e-mail, snap, tweet, post and live stream one another from anywhere on the planet. According to the article there is a vicious cycle involved — isolation takes a toll on mental health, which in turn makes people withdraw and then they become more isolated and depressed. I don't think it is a far stretch to assume that this sense of isolation is also part of the blame for the surging rates in deaths of despair.
The third and final article was titled "From binge drinking to blacking out, the disturbing epidemic putting America's kids in danger," which was featured in CBS News. In short, this article stated that there is a silent pandemic having to do with "the pervasive and problematic drinking culture among American youth." Binge drinking has not only been normalized but it is also a "marker of social status." In other words there is a lot of pressure to drink enormous amounts of alcohol at once because "all the cool kids are doing it." Almost 2,000 college-aged youth are dying every year on college campuses, and it doesn't seem like this tragedy gets the attention that it deserves.
Millennials and Gen Z seem to be the most stressed out, isolated and depressed generations in recent memory, despite what some might argue, thanks to technological advances, is an easy life. So, what are we missing here? Experts say that millions of young people are turning to drugs and alcohol to numb themselves and escape their stress, and on top of all that we are in the midst of some kind of loneliness epidemic. So much for the carefree days of youth! Isn't there something else they can turn to? Can't some of us, who have already learned some truths the hard way, guide our youth toward something better?
People are desperately looking for something to fill a void in their lives. As Catholics we know, as St. Augustine said, that our hearts our restless until they rest in the Lord; however, our society and our culture often remove God from the equation completely or at the very least put him on the back burner as an afterthought. The Church has a wonderful opportunity to once again rise to the occasion to remind a darkened world about the Way, the Truth and the Life. No matter where you are, you are in mission territory. If we don't do our best to help our youth and our peers understand that life has a purpose and that each one of us is an irreplaceable human being that is loved and made in the image and likeness of God, the consequences will continue to be devastating. Of course we have to first believe all of this ourselves. We must focus on the joy of the Gospel, the goodness and beauty in our world; because, whether you believe it or not, there is so much to live for, to hope for and to share with each other.

St. Vincent de Paul Microloan Program offers a new way out of poverty
November 6, 2019 /in Featured Stories /by Laura Keener
This past summer Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Northern Kentucky began a new venture to help those in need help themselves out of poverty — the new "Microloan Program – a new path out of poverty." This new program has been successful through local SVdP chapters in other U.S. cities such as Columbus, Ohio; Lancaster, Penn.; Dallas, Texas; and Arlington, Virginia.
In partnership with Kemba Credit Union, Florence and the Butler Foundation of Northern Kentucky, SVdP Northern Kentucky can offer clients an alternative to high interest loans while also providing clients an opportunity to learn about personal finances through financial mentoring.
SVdP NKY's low-interest loan is fully guaranteed by SVdP NKY through its microloan program. Clients are referred by a Vincentian volunteer. Loans can be used to retire an existing loan, or for help with car, medical, educational or home repair expenses.
SVdP Northern Kentucky said that its hope for the program is to empower a person who has struggled financially and affect systemic change in the NKY community.
Deacon Mike Lyman, chair of SVdP Northern Kentucky's Microloan Committee (a committee of seven community members) said, "These loans have provided the opportunity to address immediate needs such as car repairs and retiring predatory loans. The program does more than that, though. For our neighbors, they offer the opportunity to grow in confidence and financial skills. For our Vincentians, they are blessed with the opportunity to enter into extended relationships with our neighbors, which allows them to influence lives in a substantial way. The money made available is helpful, but the hope generated and the mentoring support provided are the true riches of this program."
Karen Zengel, executive director, SVdP Northern Kentucky, is an ex-officio member of the Microloan Program Committee and reports that to date SVdP Northern Kentucky has made four microloans available to clients.
"Clients have the chance to get a loan to cover other expenses that might otherwise threaten their ongoing financial stability," Mrs. Zengel said.
The committee convenes every time someone applies for a loan. Deacon Lyman has set up a variety of trainings for the financial mentors, which is another important component of this program.
Mrs. Zengel said, "While the loan itself is a really good opportunity for someone who may not otherwise have a chance to take out a loan, the other really important component of this program is the mentoring piece. That is important on two different levels: it is important to the individual who is a borrower that we work with them to help them achieve their own personal financial goals. They may not have had any instruction or guidance on how to start a savings account or even how to open a bank account. We're helping the borrowers build a financial skill set. The other thing is, on the part of the Vincentians, it gives them an opportunity to work with a person who really needs a commitment, to make a significant change in their lives. So it is a different kind of experience than when they have the opportunity to do home visits. It is very motivating working with a person when you know they are taking steps to improve their lives. It can be very fulfilling for our Vincentians to have those chances to work with families who make a commitment."

'Diocese of Covington Guarantee' a financial commitment to passing on Catholic faith
Laura Keener, Editor.
Thomas More University has announced a new initiative aimed at making a TMU education more financially attainable for local students — "The Diocese of Covington Guarantee." With the Diocese of Covington Guarantee, TMU is affirming its commitment to students from the Diocese of Covington by guaranteeing $20,000 in institutional aid to students who choose TMU.
"In my inauguration speech, I spoke of the importance of providing every student in the Diocese of Covington with a high-quality, affordable Catholic education," said Joseph Chillo, president, TMU. "The Diocese of Covington Guarantee ensures that all diocesan graduates starting with this year's high school graduating seniors who meet our admission criteria will be awarded $20,000 in institutional aid."
The Diocese of Covington Guarantee is not a stand-alone scholarship, said Rebecca Stratton, director of communications, TMU. It is designed to help bridge the gap so that each graduate of a Catholic high school in the diocese receives $20,000 of institutional aid.
Many families who have a student in a Catholic high school in the diocese are familiar with TMU's Parochial Promise. The Parochial Promise is a $14,000 scholarship offered to any student who graduates from a Catholic high school nationwide and attends TMU. Diocesan high school students attending TMU will still qualify for the Parochial Promise. The Diocese of Covington Guarantee will be added to the Parochial Promise, and any other institutional aid, until the total institutional aid received reaches, but does not exceed, $20,000.
Non-institutional aid — like a student's KEES money and federal or state grants — may be used in addition to the $20,000 from TMU.
"Our hope is that students from the diocese who qualify for full federal and state grants will have nearly no cost to attend Thomas More with this guarantee in place," said Ms. Stratton.
All Diocese of Covington graduates who meet the minimum qualifications for admissions — 2.5 GPA and 20 ACT — starting with the graduating class of 2020 qualify for the guarantee. Another convenience for students is that there is not an additional form to complete to apply for the guarantee. A student's admissions application acts as the application, said Ms. Stratton.
"Every diocesan student that wants to gain a Catholic higher education deserves the assistance to do so," said President Chillo. "Creating opportunity for our diocesan high schools to effectively position the values and significance of a Catholic higher education begins with our responsibility of being the diocesan university. The values and purpose of Catholic education are significant and relevant and we must do our part to strengthen and advance the important work that was started almost 100 years ago at Villa Madonna College."

Prax v. Zalewski
Supreme Court of Alaska
GLENN MICHAEL PRAX, PHILLIP G. PRAX, and MARIANNE P. KITTREDGE, Appellants,
VICTORIA J. ZALEWSKI, Appellee.
Appeal from the Superior Court No. 4FA-13-02190 CI of the State of Alaska, Fourth Judicial District, Fairbanks, Douglas L. Blankenship, Judge.
Christopher J. Bodle, Burns & Associates, P.C., Fairbanks, for Appellants.
No appearance by Appellee Victoria J. Zalewski.
Before: Stowers, Chief Justice, Winfree, Maassen, Bolger, and Carney, Justices.
CARNEY, JUSTICE.
After the family that owned a Fairbanks parking lot prevented the neighboring property owner from using it, the neighbor filed an adverse possession claim for the lot in question. The trial court ruled that from 2002 to 2012 the neighbor had perfected an adverse possession claim to the lot and held that amendments made to the relevant law in 2003 did not apply to the neighbor's claim because her period of possession began in 2002. The family appeals, arguing that the 2003 statutory changes should have been applied to this case. We agree; therefore we reverse the trial court's ruling and remand the case for further proceedings.
II. FACTS AND PROCEEDINGS
A. Facts
In 1994 Victoria Zalewski purchased a 60 foot by 90 foot rectangle of land on Mary Ann Street in Fairbanks (Lot 8A). Just south of Lot 8A is a parking lot. Although this parking lot is recorded as being part of a larger adjacent lot known as Lot 9A, no boundary line has ever been apparent between Lot 8A and the parking lot. Zalewski never had her lot surveyed and mistakenly assumed when she purchased Lot 8A that it included the parking lot.
Prospector Outfitters obtained Lot 9A - including the parking lot - in 1994, and in 2007 conveyed the lot to Glenn Michael Prax, Phillip G. Prax, and Marianne P. Kittridge (the Praxes). Various members of the Prax family shared in the ownership and management of Prospector Outfitters and its properties before and after the 2007 transfer of Lot 9A.
Zalewski had a duplex on her property, which she rented out and sometimes lived in. Zalewski and her tenants consistently used the parking lot for parking, entry, and exit. She and her husband maintained the parking lot, keeping it graveled and clear of snow and plants. They installed electrical outlets on the lot for headbolt heaters and paid for the electricity. Zalewski built a shed on the lot in 2008; she used the shed and other parts of the lot for storage. The duplex occupants received mail at a mailbox placed within the parking lot.
Zalewski consistently used the parking lot on Lot 9A, but her exclusive use ended during the summer of 2002. That summer the owners of neighboring Lots 10B and 11B excavated their property to prepare it for construction, and they stored their equipment and materials-including a large dump truck-on the parking lot. This use of the property ended in autumn of 2002.
Glenn Michael Prax knew that Zalewski was using the parking lot and repeatedly attempted to talk to her about his family's ownership of the lot. Between 2001 and 2003 he left two notes at the duplex explaining his family's claim to the property and suggesting some discussion about the boundary. Around 2005 he spoke to a tenant of the building about the issue, and in 2009 or 2011 he spoke to Zalewski herself about the boundary. He explained that his family owned the parking lot, but he received only a noncommittal response from Zalewski. In 2012 and 2013 he sent letters to Zalewski outlining the Praxes' claim to the property, but he received no response. After his last attempt in 2013 he set up sawhorses barring Zalewski from the parking lot. Zalewski removed the sawhorses and filed her lawsuit in July 2013.
B. Proceedings
Zalewski's complaint alleged that she had acquired title to the parking lot by adverse possession. She later amended her complaint to include a prescriptive easement claim over the parking lot. The Praxes filed oppositions and counterclaims, asking for judgment quieting title to the parking lot in their favor and arguing that any alleged use of the parking lot was by their permission. Zalewski never argued that she possessed the land under color of title.
In July 2014 the Praxes moved for summary judgment, arguing that Zalewski's use of the parking lot did not satisfy the elements of adverse possession. They argued that Zalewski "had to show that she had a 'good faith, but mistaken belief that the [parking lot] lies within the boundaries of [her] adjacent real property, ' " as required by the 2003 version of AS 09.45.052. Zalewski countered that the pre-2003 version of the statute contained no good-faith requirement, and that the 2003 amendments did not apply to an adverse possessor whose title had not vested by the time of the amendments, such as herself, because "such an adverse possessor would have an equitable interest by the time of the amendment" which the amendments were not intended to affect. Zalewski also claimed that she in any event had possessed the parking lot in good faith.
The trial court denied the Praxes' summary judgment motion and ruled that the 2003 amendments to the adverse possession statutes - and thus their requirement of good faith - did not apply to this case because Zalewski's period of possession had begun before the 2003 amendments took effect. The court relied on Cowan v. Yeisley in which we held that the 2003 amendments to AS 09.10.030 and AS 09.45.052 were not intended to be retrospective.[1] The trial court cited that case for the proposition that, because "any ten-year period ... in this case" began before the amendments' effective date, the amendments did not apply to Zalewski.
The court held a three-day trial in June 2015. The parties stipulated that good faith was not at issue in light of the court's summary judgment ruling. Zalewski and her ex-husband testified, as did Philip, Joseph, and Glenn Michael Prax. The widow of the contractor who had overseen the excavation of Lots 10B and 11B testified that her husband had indeed occupied the parking lot with construction equipment through the summer of 2002.
The court again ruled that the good faith requirement of AS 09.45.052 did not apply because "any ten-year period asserted in this case must commence prior to the effective date" of the amendments [2] - and referred back to its analysis of the issue from its summary judgment order.
The court found that the use of the parking lot to store equipment in summer 2002 by the owners of Lots 10B and 11B was not consistent with Zalewski's claim to have exclusively possessed the parking lot since the 1990s. Zalewski therefore had to show that she had possessed the property for the ten-year span between September 1, 2002, and September 1, 2012, to prevail on her adverse possession claim.
The court found by clear and convincing evidence that Zalewski's use of the parking lot during this time was continuous, open, notorious, exclusive, and hostile to the Praxes' interest in the property. It found that Zalewski's use of the parking lot was not permissive because she had never acknowledged that her claim to the property was subordinate to that of the Praxes. The court reiterated that good faith was not required because the 2003 statutory amendments did not apply, but stated, "If Zalewski's good faith was an issue, this court would find that she was not in good faith as a result of the ...
