New Albany History
THE LEGEND OF THE ROBERT E. LEE
The Robert E. Lee Steamboat was nicknamed the "Monarch of the Mississippi" and built in New Albany, Indiana in 1866 for a price of $200,000. The grand steamboat was 297 feet by 49 feet. While the name was being painted on the ship it was moved over to the Kentucky shore as some Hoosiers resented the name of the rebel leader being used.
On June 30, 1870 the steamboat left New Orleans in a race against the Natchez to St. Louis. At the time the Natchez was the then-current speed record holder. The Henry Tate, MayFlower, Mary Alice and Tahlequah preceded the two steamboats up the river for a way with excursionists in order to be able to view the race. The Robert E. Lee won with the time of 3 days, 18 hours, 14 minutes.
She was eventually dismantled in Jeffersonville, Indiana, in the spring of 1876, to build the Robert E. Lee (2nd).

Q: how to tackle .. Credentials flag is 'true' CORS errors I am running an ionic app on http://localhost:8100 which connects to my express backend that is running on http://localhost:3000.
As usual I am facing CORS issue. disabling websecurity in chrome did not help.
The error that chrome reports is :
(index):1 XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:3000/auth/facebook.
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check:
Credentials flag is 'true',
but the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header is ''.
It must be 'true' to allow credentials.
Origin 'http://localhost:8100' is therefore not allowed access.

First question is:
I do not see any Access-Controll-Allow-Credentials Flag in the request headers, then why is chrome complaining
Second questions:
I have tried using CORS express module but that did not help. How do I overcome this issue ?

A: I resolved this issue by including the following piece of middleware in my nodejs server
var app = express();
app.use(methodOverride());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
  extended: true
}));

app.use(accessControl);

where the function accessControl looks like below:
function(req, res, next) {

  var oneof = false;

  if (req.headers.origin) {
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', req.headers.origin);
    oneof = true;
  }
  if (req.headers['access-control-request-method']) {
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', req.headers['access-control-request-method']);
    oneof = true;
  }
  if (req.headers['access-control-request-headers']) {
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', req.headers['access-control-request-headers']);
    oneof = true;
  }
  if (oneof) {
    res.header('Access-Control-Max-Age', 60 * 60 * 24 * 365);
  }

  if (req.originalUrl === '/auth/signup') {
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
  }

  if (req.originalUrl === '/auth/login') {
    res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
  }

  // intercept OPTIONS method
  if (oneof && req.method === 'OPTIONS') {
    res.sendStatus(200);
  }

  else {
    next();
  }
};

This is not an elegant solution but it did the trick for me (atleast until I figure out something better)

We learnt lessons from the Ebola outbreak; DR Congo President says country moved swiftly to curb coronavirus spread
UN News
Learning its lessons from the Ebola outbreak, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) took swift and decisive measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus, when the first cases were detected in March, the country's President told world leaders, gathered virtually, at the UN General Assembly.
Addressing, via a pre-recorded video, President Félix Antoine Tshilombo Tshisekedi said that quick action by the Government brought down the mortality rate in the DRC from 10 per cent in the first days of the pandemic to 2.5 per cent today.
Acknowledging the role of the UN, including the World Health Organization (WHO), in responding to the coronavirus pandemic, President Tshisekedi urged greater support in the areas of capacity-building and technical assistance.
He also called for international efforts, including cancellation of debts and "no-strings-attached financing" to help developing countries recover from the pandemic and to build back better.
The President also informed the Assembly of his Government's efforts to promote human rights, while acknowledging that much remains to be done to combat sexual and gender-based violence.
He also called for the Security Council to be reformed to make it more transparent, democratic and representative of the Organization's make-up.
Need for climate action
The President of the DRC also highlighted the threats posed by climate change.
The effects are increasingly visible throughout the world, he said, adding that climate action and building a green economy is "not merely a necessity, but an urgent duty."
He underscored the DRC's commitment to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change, including through the preservation of its forests through a system of school gardens that aims to plant 1 billion trees in the coming years.
Worrying security situation
Expressing concern about the security situation in the east of the country, President Tshisekedi said that residual elements of armed groups continue to spread death and desolation, attacking not only civilians and national armed forces but also peacekeepers serving with the UN peacekeeping mission in the country, MONUSCO.
The funding of such groups through the illicit exploitation of natural resources which are then sold abroad must be neutralized through international sanctions, he urged.
Pending the outcome of the strategic review of MONUSCO, he said that the DRCs wants to see more cooperation on the ground between the UN mission and the national armed forces, particularly in those areas where armed groups are present.
"My determination is to put smiles on the faces of those living in the east of the country as soon as possible," said President Tshisekedi.

HOGs are colourful and clear. Games are not bad.

Road weekend brings heartache for men's basketball
Team falls to 1-2 in UAA conference
J.P. O'Hagan, Staff Reporter
Being away from home can often cause struggles for teams and the Case Western Reserve University men's basketball team was no exception this past weekend.
Strong play from the Spartan leaders was not enough in both games of the weekend as Case fell to both Rochester University and Emory University. The Spartans now stand at 9-5 overall and are 1-2 in the UAA. This is the first multi-game losing streak for the Spartans and they are looking to bounce back this weekend at home. "Our team stuck together despite two tough road losses. We stayed positive and that will benefit us in future games," said head coach Sean McDonnell.
The Spartans started the rough weekend dropping a heartbreaker Friday night to Rochester, losing by a score of 69-66. The Spartans exploded out of the gate scoring a season high 43 first half points. Case was up by as much as 14 midway through the game, but Rochester refused to go away and began chipping away at the Spartan lead piece by piece. The Yellowjackets had cut the lead to seven by halftime and they would carry over that momentum into the second half.
The Spartans were up by nine with just under 10 minutes to play when a 7-0 run by the Yellowjackets brought them back into a competitive position. The Spartans then went dark only managing five more points in the final 9:52. The Yellowjackets took the lead for good after a string of free throws to go up 66-65 with 2:13 left to play. The Spartans had a few opportunities to tie, but jumpers from Tim Chung and Julien Person fell short. Adding to the scoring drought, the typically strong bench was outscored 35-4 by the Yellowjackets. All Rochester had to do was hold on as the final attempt by the Spartans to inbound was deflected and the final 2.7 seconds ticked off the clock. "We had 61 points with 10 minutes to go in the game and only finished with 66," said McDonnell. "Unfortunately, we stopped scoring late in the game."
Sunday afternoon's game in a much warmer climate still saw a similar cold finish from the once hot team, as the Spartans were crushed by Emory University in Atlanta. Chung's solid 19 points lead the team but seemed like pocket change as Emory's McPherson Moore roasted the Spartans with 31 points, with 21 of those points coming from behind the arc. The Eagles jumped out to a 22-9 lead by the 14-minute mark of the first half, but Case fought back with a 8-0 run to pull within five. Emory came back with a flourish of scoring and went up 50-40 at the half.
That momentum led to the onslaught of the second half. With just over 16 minutes left to play, the Eagles were up by 19 and the Spartans were unable to recover. The Spartans had four players with double-digit points, but a costly 18 turnovers, which lead to a 30-0 Emory fast break point advantage, which cost Case the game as the scoreboard flashed a disappointing 102-76 final. "Emory is talented," McDonnell said, "We were down six with a minute to go in the half and gave up two critical three-point shots. If those didn't happen and our deficit was four, the second half might have played out differently."
The Spartans will look to rebound as they play their next four games at home starting Friday night against Washington University in St. Louis. Confident in their ability to get back on track, the team has worked hard to fix their mistakes of the past weekend and will treat it as a learning experience. The atmosphere hasn't changed as the team gets set to fully enter the gruel of UAA play. "Each opponent is different. However, if we limit turnovers, that gives us a chance every game." McDonnell said.

Nabeel Masih
Case narrative for Nabeel Masih
Source: Christians in Pakistan[1]
LATEST UPDATE: On 5 May 2017, Nabeel's bail was denied for the second time by the Districts and Session judge.[2]
Nabeel Masih, a 16-year-old Christian (now 17) in Pakistan, has been jailed since 18th September 2016 for a Facebook post that was allegedly blasphemous.
A Muslim friend accused him of "sharing" and "liking" on Facebook a "defamed and disrespected" photo of the Kaaba, the holiest Islamic site in Mecca.
Nabeel was charged under section 295 ("injuring or defiling place of worship, with intent to insult the religion of any class") and 295A ("deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs") of the Pakistan Penal Code. These are otherwise known as Pakistan's blasphemy law.
The boy's defense attorney, Riaz Anjum, said that the case against Nabeel is "clearly fabricated" and that it had been registered with "malafide intention" and "ulterior motives."
While more than 200 people in Pakistan were charged under blasphemy laws in 2015, many of them were minorities such as Christians, who make up one percent of Pakistan's population. As observed by Morning Star News: "the laws are often used to settle personal scores, and Islamist groups and lawyers often advocate the harshest punishments and apply pressure for convictions on police and courts".
On 7th February 2017, the judge in Punjab Province's Kasur District denied to grant him bail and therefore he remains in prison under a baseless blasphemy charge while he maintains his innocence.

Pontormo was bornon May 24, 1494 in Empoli, Italian, is Painter. Pontormo, who was born as Jacopo Carucci, was an Italian painter who went on to become one of the leading lights of the Florentine Renaissance of the 16th century and created frescoes as well as paintings across Italy that brought about a dramatic shift in the art of the era. One of the most important things to point out with regards to Pontormo is the fact that after he was orphaned he learnt the craft from the masters of the era like Leonardo da Vinci and Piero di Cosimo that immediately gave him an in depth understanding of the artist's mind. Pontormo's work displayed the sort of vision that was unique and in addition to that, his work was famous for the expressions of the figures, pose as well as the fact that the figures often seemed to float. Pontormo also came in direct contact with the Medici family and even worked on a fresco at one of the houses belonging to the family. Many of his paintings are lost or damaged but the many more which are housed in museums and churches at different parts of the world can still give people a glimpse into the neurotic genius of Pontormo.
Pontormo painted in and around Florence, often supported by Medici patronage. A foray to Rome, largely to see Michelangelo's work, influenced his later style. Haunted faces and elongated bodies are characteristic of his work. An Example of Pontormo's early style is a fresco depicting the Visitation of the Virgin and St Elizabeth, with its dancelike, balanced figures, painted from 1514 to 1516.
Many of Pontormo's well known canvases, such as the early Joseph in Egypt series (c. 1515) and the later Martyrdom of St Maurice and the Theban Legion (c. 1531) depict crowds milling about in extreme contrapposto of greatly varied positions.
Regardless as to the veracity of Vasari's account, it is certainly true that Pontormo's artistic idiosyncrasies produced a style that few were able (or willing) to imitate, with the exception of his closest pupil Bronzino. Bronzino's early work is so close to that of his Teacher, that the authorship of several paintings from the 1520s and '30s are still under dispute—for Example the four tondi containing the Evangelists in the Capponi Chapel, and the Portrait of a Lady in Red now in Frankfurt (at left).
The large altarpiece canvas for the Brunelleschi-designed Capponi Chapel in the church of Santa Felicita, Florence, portraying The Deposition from the Cross, is considered by many Pontormo's surviving masterpiece (1528).
Perhaps as a result of Vasari's derision, or perhaps because of the vagaries of aesthetic taste, Pontormo's work was quite out of fashion for several centuries. The fact that so much of his work has been lost or severely damaged is testament to this neglect, though he has received renewed attention by contemporary art historians. Indeed, between 1989 and 2002, Pontormo's Portrait of a Halberdier (at right), held the title of the world's most expensive painting by an Old Master.
This early Visitation makes an interesting comparison with his painting of the same subject (at right), which was done about a decade later for the parish church of St. Michael in Carmignano, about 20 km west of Florence. Placing these two pictures together—one from his early style, and another from his mature period—throws Pontormo's artistic development into sharp relief. In the earlier work, Pontormo is much closer in style to his Teacher, Andrea del Sarto, and to the early sixteenth century renaissance artistic principles. For Example, the figures stand at just under half the height of the overall picture, and though a bit more crowded than true high renaissance balance would prefer, at least are placed in a classicizing architectural setting at a comfortable distance from the viewer. In the later work, the viewer is brought almost uncomfortably close to the Virgin and St. Elizabeth, who drift toward each other in clouds of drapery. Moreover, the clear architectural setting that is carefully constructed in earlier piece has been completely abandoned in favor of a peculiar nondescript urban setting.

Make sure you have a warm drink at the ready while reading this one. You're going to need it when you're done! It's great to see the story shift to center a little more on the next generation of Fabletown, but it's not without a price. The "Cubs in Toyland" arc is truly chilling. It's amazing how GOOD the writing still is after all this time! The story still keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing; nothing goes how you expect it to.

The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Son of Saul, and the philosophy behind cinematography
Baradwaj Rangan
Oct 18, 2018 08:57:02 IST
One of my favourite anecdotes about cinematography comes from Francis Ford Coppola's DVD commentary track of The Godfather. He says that they decided to be very "classical" about how the film was going to be shot, the camera always about four-and-a-half feet off the ground. "It never was looking up at anyone or looking down, unless [say] the guy was on the street and you had to look down." This principle is violated in the scene where Don Corleone is shot after buying oranges (see clip below) -- there's a high-angle shot that shows the Don falling, and the fruit scattering on the street. Gordon Willis, the cinematographer, was upset. He asked Coppola, "Whose point of view is it?" Coppola said, "I don't know. It's my point of view."
Willis was a purist. If the camera showed something, it was through someone's eyes – and who could be standing by the first-floor window in a nearby building, to justify that particular angle of the Don being shot? It's a valid approach to cinematography, and every cinematographer has his/her philosophies. Karan Johar – for instance -- once told me what he learnt from Ravi K Chandran, that your trolley should move only when your character is moving or his or her thoughts are moving. But finally, it's the director's point of view that matters, and if everyone had been a purist like Willis (again, not a bad thing!), we'd never have had some of the low-angle shots in Citizen Kane. For who could have been crouching on the floor between the characters played by Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten in order to justify the shot that captures not just the looming men, but also the ceiling above them?
I've been thinking a lot about cinematography after watching László Nemes's Sunset at the Venice Film Festival. (The film is set in Budapest, during the days leading to World War I.) The director uses the same technique that he did in his earlier (and first) film, Son of Saul, which is set in the Auschwitz concentration camp, during World War II -- it follows the protagonist's (Saul) attempts to give a traditional Jewish burial to a boy who's been gassed to death. There may be a panoramic shot or two – say, the out-of-focus visual of a massive pyre of bodies being burnt, or the film's final image of a forest, as a boy runs (and disappears) into the greenery. Otherwise, the camera is merely inches from Saul: sometimes in front of him (so we are looking at him), sometimes to his side (so his face is in profile), but mostly behind him (so the back of his neck fills the screen).
It's a revolutionary technique – and it feels like what Citizen Kane must have felt like in 1941. The effect (by cinematographer Mátyás Erdély) is claustrophobic, as though you are literally there, with Saul. (Gordon Willis would have a thing or two to say about the points of view of these shots.) In one harrowing stretch, as Saul swims across a river, we seem to be in the water with him, feeling his breath as he gasps for air. And due to the closeness of the camera, there is a constant sense of discovery. A wide shot may have given us information that Saul does not yet have (say, about the layout of the place, or an SS officer who lies in wait) – but now, we discover things with Saul. What he sees, we see— and only up to a distance. The rest is out of focus.
The result is the antithesis of a Schindler's List, the micro instead of the macro. It's a new grammar. Both Schindler's List and Son of Saul are about a man with a mission, but the former plays like beautifully written fiction, while this is like gritty fact. Jessica Kiang, writing about Sunset in the British Film Institute (BFI) web site, complained that "[Nemes goes about] designing intricate exteriors of period Budapest, and then perversely consigning them to out-of-focus background noise as we trail around looking at the back of [the protagonist's] neck (a lovely neck, but come on)..." But Nemes felt this approach [in Son of Saul] was suited to capture the vastness of the Holocaust, "because it takes place much more in the imagination than on screen. Whereas when you show frontally, you only reduce the scope of it..."
And how does this technique reflect the film's philosophy? In a Film Comment interview, after the world premiere of Sunset, Nemes said, "Human history has a part that cannot really be understood, and that will remain a mystery. Not because of a lack of fact, but because it doesn't seem logical..." Nemes says it's okay to not know everything. It's okay to feel lost, confused (during the movie), the way the protagonist feels lost and confused (in the concentration camp, or in Budapest). When asked whether the claustrophobic technique fit better in Son of Saul's concentration camp than in wide-open Budapest, Nemes said, "It doesn't have to be justified by the narrative. It's more about the philosophy of art. I am drawn to the subjective experience of art and the world..."
Kristin Thompson, in the blog Observations on Film Art, called Sunset thoroughly modern art cinema. Why "modern"? Because what Nemes (who worked as an assistant to Béla Tarr) is going for isn't, say, neo-realism, which is how art cinema of an earlier era presented the unvarnished truth ("fiction" as opposed to "fact"). It's not for all tastes. Nemes's cinema works better as an experience, fascinating to immerse oneself into, but not necessarily satisfying drama (though Son of Saul is certainly more narratively satisfying than Sunset). But how amazing, that a hundred years after the birth of cinema, we are still finding new ways to use cinematography. Fifty years from now, Nemes's cinema may have become "rulebook" enough to cease to surprise – like how first-timers watch Citizen Kane today and say, "I don't see what the fuss is." But this is the moment of birth, and we are privileged to witness it.

The Crane Wife
All stories begin before they start and never, ever finish.
When an injured crane lands in George's garden in the middle of the night, he is compelled to help the beautiful creature. A few days later, Kumiko walks into his shop and shows him her artwork made of feathers. George, who has been making cut-outs from old books, is instantly smitten with the mysterious woman and her pictures. Together they create something breath-taking.
I am in two minds about this book. I do think Patrick Ness is an excellent writer and there were parts of the story I absolutely loved. There are sections of beautifully written prose; even the introductory scene of George going to the bathroom in the middle of the night is done eloquently. Where George tends to the injured bird is surprisingly real and tender and I loved the central myth, rewriting the story with a volcano as the antagonist.
The crane wife comes from Japanese mythology and is a story of a crane that is found in a trap. A man takes pity on her and frees her only to be visited by a beautiful woman the next day. The couple take her in and she soon starts to weave cloth, a cloth of the highest standards which brings the couple a good price at market. But she weaves in secret and the couple soon become curious, of course learning her true identity. Ness' story deviates a lot from this, but Kumiko's pictures replace the cloth, and George is a lonely divorcee in place of the couple.
However, there are moments when I struggled to engage with the book. We are introduced to the starring characters separately, which is fine in itself, but the chapters felt like individual stories. I'm still none the wiser why George's near horrific car accident was included in such depth. And I didn't like the negativity between Amanda and her co-workers. Do women really need to be that hostile to each other? It was too much for me, making them feel like stereotypes. Is Amanda meant to be a tragic character or just a pawn to be in the right place at the right time? Rachel's behaviour might be explained by the end, but the way it was done didn't make me empathise with any of the characters.
It reminded me a little of Andrew Kaufman's novels in places and I would be more inclined to recommend to fans of his quirky little books than existing Ness fans. It would probably sit well within the Canongate Myths series too. The characters feel a little bit like George's cut out shapes, which work in a myth where character traits are often represented by other things, but the realism cut through the charm of the myth.
Ness justifies the loose ends by saying stories never end, but I'm afraid the book was a bit of a disappointment for me after such high expectations.
The Crane Wife is published by Canongate and be available from 4th April 2013 in hardback and ebook editions. Thanks go to the publisher for providing a copy for review.

The Month That Was... March 2013


As many of you know, I spent yesterday with my dear friend Aminta. We met at the train station and from there onwards it was none stop; in a charming place we had a delicious breakfast of frehly made rasberry filled croissants and tea; we talked, walked the streets, had lunch in a vegetarian restaurant, went shopping; we even had our nails done, all of this and much more with lots of laughter, complicity and joy.
No, there are not great photos of it all, the time was too precious to spend it with a camera, so we just took pics with the heart.
Como much@s de vosotr@ sabéis ayer pasé el día con Aminta. Nos encontramosa a la salida del AVE y ya fue un no parar, desayunamos croissants recien hechos en un lugar encantador, hablamos, callejeamos, almorzamos en un vegetariano, fuimos de tiendas e incluso nos hicimos las uñas y todo regado de risas y complicidad.

The Mets/Madoff Saga, Day Six: The Wilpons Strike Back
Wilpons allege trustee suit is "total extortion"
By Josh Alper	• Published February 3, 2011 • Updated on February 3, 2011 at 10:30 am
Ever since the Wilpons announced that they are looking to sell a portion of the Mets because of the potential fallout from a lawsuit related to their involvement with Bernie Madoff, they have been on the defensive as public revelation after public revelation made them look worse by the second.
It seems that the Wilpons are mad as hell and unwilling to take it anymore. Like a boxer that finds themselves behind on points in the eighth round, the Wilpons have joined the fight and they are throwing haymakers. Their lawyers called the suit filed by Irving Picard, the Madoff trustee, an "empty suit" and "total extortion" because they had no idea what Madoff was up to until everyone found out that he was falsifying everything about his business.
They also found an ally in Mike Lupica, who assails Picard, the New York Times and everyone else who thinks that the Wilpons are anything but a victim of Madoff's chicanery. He calls the entire thing a smear of the Wilpons designed to get them to cough up money so that they will stop being used as patsies by the public.
It's strong stuff. So is the stuff sent out from the other side through the Times this week. None of it really matters in the long run, though. This is all par for the course in a high-profile legal proceeding, and the court case ultimately isn't going to be swayed by what either side is able to do via the press. Besides, we still don't know what's actually in the suit Picard filed against the Wilpons and, despite what their lawyers are saying, that might actually wind up helping the defendants if it becomes public.

For all of the allegations of their deep ties to Madoff's fund, including introducing other investors to him, it is hard to draw the line all the way to any kind of nefarious or criminal behavior. Should they have been suspicious of curiously consistent annual returns during a fairly volitile time in the larger marketplace? Perhaps, but that's hardly evil behavior and the fact that they are now in this position works as a public defense that they didn't know what was going on.
The biggest blow to them in the PR battle right now is the fact that they were dishonest about the connection between Madoff and the Mets. Taken with other instances of obfuscation and misdirection during their tenure, it serves to make people distrustful of everything that comes out of your mouth after the initial lie or half-truth.
Meanwhile, one potential buyer weighed in on the possibility of becoming the team's next owner. Mark Cuban, in town with the Mavericks, said that he won't bid on the team, but that he'd be willing to listen if someone asked him to buy it. The Post turned that into a back page headline, although is it really news if a guy says he won't try to date a girl but is willing to sleep with her if she shows up naked in his bed?
It isn't, which is yet another reason why it would be great for pitchers and catchers to report already so we can just focus on the baseball part of this business.

NEXT ARTICLE Norwich City 0-3 Liverpool: Jürgen Klopp's reaction
Jota, Firmino and Salah strike to claim opening-day win at Norwich
James Carroll @James_Carroll84
Liverpool got the 2021-22 season up and running with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Norwich City at a full-capacity Carrow Road on Saturday evening.
Diogo Jota's first-time finish nudged the Reds into the lead after 26 minutes before his replacement, Roberto Firmino, added a second shortly after coming on in the second half.
Mohamed Salah made it 3-0 with a fine curled finish on 74 minutes, becoming the first player in Premier League history to score on five successive opening weekends in the competition.
And in a further boost for Jürgen Klopp's side, Virgil van Dijk completed the duration of the contest, played in front of 27,000 fans, to make his first competitive appearance in 10 months.
Watch: Norwich 0-3 LFC - Highlights
Liverpool's first teamsheet of 2021-22 showed a start for Van Dijk, who was handed his first competitive appearance since October of last year after undergoing knee surgery.
He partnered Joel Matip, while Joe Gomez and summer signing Ibrahima Konate were named on the bench.
Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Jota.
Subs: Kelleher, Fabinho, Konate, Firmino, Gomez, Minamino, Origi, Woodburn, Elliott.
A raucous atmosphere welcomed the teams onto the field, with Liverpool playing in front of a stadium at full capacity for the first time since March 2020.
For the hosts, it marked their return to the top flight having gained promotion from the Championship at the first time of asking last term.
As a result, Norwich made a sprightly start, but it was the Reds who mustered the first threat with 10 minutes on the clock.
Kostas Tsimikas did well to wriggle into space before crossing from the left. With Jota lurking, Ben Gibson had to clear over his own crossbar inside the six-yard box. The resulting corner saw Naby Keita recycle the ball back into the danger zone, where a glancing header from the visitors' No.20 was tipped over by Tim Krul at full stretch.
Soon after, the Canaries' goalkeeper had to deny Salah's snap-shot after Trent Alexander-Arnold had done superbly to pick out the Egyptian in the area.
At the other end, Teemu Pukki was thwarted by Alisson Becker having escaped into space behind the visiting back four.
Salah then sent a first-time volley from Sadio Mane's centre a foot wide of the post as Liverpool threatened once more.
The Reds' pressure finally told on 26. Alexander-Arnold swept into space on the right before angling a pass into Salah, who got a slight touch, directing the ball into the path of Jota. The Portugal forward made no mistake in sweeping home first time from 12 yards.
One was almost two soon after, but Pierre Lees-Melou cleared Matip's goal-bound shot away from in front of the line, with Krul grounded.
Liverpool continued to assert pressure after the restart, with Mane having an effort blocked from crossing the line by Max Aarons. Alexander-Arnold then fizzed a free-kick a few inches too wide of Krul's post.
On the hour, Klopp elected to replace Jota and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with Brazilian duo Firmino and Fabinho – moments before Krul saved from a low Tsimikas drive across goal.
Nevertheless, the Reds added a second four minutes after their arrival when Salah intelligently played a blocked Mane shot back across the box, enabling Firmino to divert when unmarked.
Salah helped himself to his customary opening-day goal with 16 minutes remaining, arching a shot beyond Krul from just inside the area after Norwich had glanced a corner away. In doing so, the No.11 set a new Premier League record with his fifth successive opening-day goal.
Norwich were denied the opportunity to reduce the arrears as the game ticked towards its conclusion, with Alisson producing a fine sprawling stop at the feet of Gibson inside the six-yard box.
However, the outcome had long since been decided as Liverpool got the campaign up and running with a victory.


Chevrolet is back as sponsor of the interactive, film, and music festival South by Southwest (SXSW). In addition to providing comp'd rides around Austin, the automaker is serving up a good activation mix of product information, utility and no-promotional-strings-attached entertainment, and naturally, it's leaning heavily on social media to tie it all together.
Chevy will be debuting an in-car, infotainment package called MyLink that integrates online services using hands-free voice and touch-screen controls via Bluetooth device connectivity.
"South by Southwest is a perfect backdrop to introduce people to Chevrolet MyLink," said Chris Perry, GM vice president, U.S. marketing. "Like South by Southwest itself, MyLink is the ultimate combination of music and technology. The festival also offers an opportunity for Chevrolet and OnStar to evaluate new technologies that may soon help Chevrolet drivers safely stay connected while behind the wheel."
All Chevy vehicles at SXSW will feature MS Tags that attendees can scan with their mobile phones to access information about the vehicle's highlights. Chevrolet will also leverage social-media services, including Gowalla, FourSquare, and Qrank, to connect with consumers in Austin. When attendees aren't on the go, the Volt Recharge Lounge will offer them a place to rest their feet and recharge their iPhones, Blackberries, laptops and other electronic devices.
Chevrolet partner, OnStar, will also take a key role in the automaker's activation. In addition to participating in a panel on the future of the connected car, OnStar is orchestrating 10 SXSW road trip teams, who will use OnStar technologies as they drive to Austin. The teams, from different cities throughout the United States and Canada, will drive to Austin in Chevrolet vehicles, using OnStar to receive instructions for the trip, post updates through social media channels and download directions to their next destination.
"Over the course of the last 15 years OnStar has grown from delivering safety & security to offer connected in-car mobility services," Nick Pudar, vice president, OnStar Business Development and Planning said. "In the future, with mobile broadband technology and social web platforms evolving we see an incredible opportunity to leverage the power of OnStar to safely provide drivers everything from access to streaming internet content to hands-free, social-media status updates and many other customized services."
All of this builds on last year's activation, which was by most accounts a social media success. Check out this video for a summary of that, and keep an eye on sxsw.com/chevrolet for more info about Chevrolet's 2011 SXSW activities.


We had a very broody hen and a semi-broody hen earlier in the year. One kept pecking at us when we removed eggs each morning. So we decided to let them try and hatch some. They both did a great job and ended up co-mummying together really well! They hatched 7 chicks.
The only issue we had was that after those 7 hatched, both of the mommy hens stopped roosting on the other eggs. So we brought some inside and decided to incubate them ourselves.
We got 2 more chicks out of bringing about 8 inside. The others we opened to see the process for ourselves that the chicks go through when they are growing.
We ended up with 9 Chicks that all got along just fine in the coop with our rooster and other chickens.
Our chicks were the cutest little additions to the homestead. Watching the get bigger and bigger was so much fun. They were very curious and adventurous!
They even managed to find a few small holes in our chicken run and escape. After getting them back inside we patched the holes to solve the problem. We lost 5 chicks, it was rough. One got out and wasn't found. Two were taken(we had a whole dug into the chicken run). One was smooshed by the window cover when it fell on a windy day. The last one was eaten by a snake that got into our chicken coop.
We weren't all that happy about the number of chicks we came out with, but since we didn't really need to grow our flock at the time we were to worried about it.
Next year we will be buying eggs and raising them in our incubator to add some different breeds to our little flock. Our chicks are all grown up now.
What is your favorite breed of chicken? Do you prefer hatching inside or letting your flock take care of it?


When I started writing blogs about 10 years ago, I had a mortgage coach teach me how to write the blogs. And I remembered one thing is that: write some stories.
There are 3 friends(BFF) who purchased a property in SF 6 years ago. And they simply decided to purchase one, and the property is a duplex. The purchase price is about 750k. And about two years ago, they got the permit to add another 1000 sqft to the property. Though they had a little bit better loan(used the construction loan to finance the remodel/addition). And the property value is about 3 Million. After so many years, with limited down payment, this is indeed a pretty good investment for them.
By the way, the interest rate is at the best levels after Nov 28, 2016. The rate is still much higher than the pre-election level. But it is prtty good now. And I recommend those who wants to refinance to jump in.
I will head to Boston for the marathon this weekend. Though I trained hard, I would run easily this time. I know I have better potential after the 4 months training. I plan to run below 3:20 at CIM this December. I will run easy for all other races, inckuding Ney York Marathon.

Three Hot Trends to Watch Out For
News / By Michel Fortin
Since the new year is right around the corner, bloggers and marketers alike are posting their predictions as if a psychics convention has come to town.
So in keeping with that tradition, I'd like to post a few of my own. But unlike those who post their predictions in point form, I won't make a specific list but rather share with you some of my thoughts.
(Near the end, however, this post will culminate in what I believe will be three major trends to watch out for and dive into, if you want to make some serious money in 2008 and beyond.)
First off, let me state that you may or may not agree with me on these. But something is definitely going on right now that points to these three trends. All the clues are pretty evident, and you've probably seen some of these yourself.
What I'm talking about is…
… Internet marketing is correcting itself.
When the stock market tumbles, short of a full-on crash, they call it a "correction." Sometimes it happens precipitously. Other times, it takes place over a period of time.
Likewise, I believe that Internet marketing, right now, is going through a similar correction. It may not be as precipitous as the stock market, but it's indeed quite significant.
To explain what I mean, let me back up a bit.
If you've read Geoffrey Moore's "Crossing The Chasm," then you understand the product adoption curve. (In marketing and academic circles, they call it the "Diffusion Process.")
In plain English, it means that new markets go through a certain adoption process that looks very much like a bell curve.
At first, new products are consumed by the innovators and early adopters (i.e., niche and early markets). They're the type of people who buy new things the moment they come out.
Then, they are consumed by the majority (i.e., mainstream markets, at the top of the bell curve, where products get widely adopted by the majority of people).
Finally, the laggards make up the late markets. They usually wait until everyone else has tried the products, which are no longer new.
According to Moore, between the niches and the mainstream, there's a gap. A chasm, as he calls it, especially with technology. It's where things seem to slow down once a product has saturated the early markets.
But then, after a while, something happens.
The product, if and when it crosses the chasm, enters the mainstream (often called the "middle" or just the "majority"), and becomes widespread.
This is where the bulk of the market lies (about 68% of the market pie, according to studies). And often, it happens fast. Very fast. (For example, Moore's follow-up book, "Inside the Tornado," explains this in detail.)
What does this mean in terms of Internet marketing?
It means that the geeks (e.g., the risk-takers, innovators, Internet enthusiasts, and the like) are the first ones to penetrate the Internet market. They set many precedents that shape the way we do business online, whether it's through a new method, software, business model, or teaching.
(That's why we often call them "gurus.")
We've seen this happen. Top marketers have entered the market, sold many a product, and made massive amounts of money. But now, things are starting to change. We're hitting — if not crossing — the chasm.
One obvious piece of evidence is the recent flurry of "death of" reports. Whether they're meant to promote something or not is a moot point.
Clayton Makepeace listed his own predictions recently, and I not only agree with them wholeheartedly but also view them as part of this crossing of the chasm. To me, the most salient point is that only 18% of the world's population is online — but it's growing at a rapid rate, particularly in Asia.
If you don't believe me (or even Clayton), watch this amazing video.
It's a presentation by a statistical researcher about income distribution around the world, and how quickly some countries are growing in terms of wealth and gross national product, once the Internet enters them.
In short, the video shows that the Internet, while still in its infancy, is growing at a rapid rate, and that there is hyper-growth occurring right now in Asian and middle-Pacific countries, such as Singapore, India, and of course, China.
Let me put that aside for just a moment, and share with you a few observations. (I will tie all of this together very shortly, I promise.)
Here's a question:
Haven't you noticed lately how Internet marketing seminars are changing?
I mean, for many years seminars were not only filled to the rim but also filled with the usual suspects who seem to congregate there all the time.
I remember going to seminar after seminar, and seeing the same faces over and over again. The same million-dollar marketers. The same "big names." The same expert speakers. And very few newbies or unknowns.
But in 2007, a shift started to happen. Some of those faces are not showing up at seminars anymore. The number of old-timers seems to be shrinking, while new faces are making their appearances for the first time.
With each passing seminar, it seems, the audience is slowly being replaced with new marketers and total newbies — people who are completely new to Internet marketing and even to the Internet in general.
More and more veteran marketers are retiring. Some are leaving the Internet marketing field altogether. Many are no longer attending seminars, speaking at them, or teaching Internet marketing at all.
Is it because the Internet marketing industry is dying or jumping the shark?
Not at all. Quite the contrary, in fact. While some Internet marketers have moved on, many of them have simply refocused their businesses on those three major markets I was referring to earlier.
To give you a hint, let me tell you a true story…
At the last seminar my wife and I attended, I was surprised to see that the vast majority of attendees was completely new. The event was still packed to the rim (and even bigger than before). But many of them admitted to us that this was the first seminar they've ever attended.
In fact, they were so new that, at a previous seminar where my wife and I spoke, we were both surprised by the kinds of questions they asked us.
After speaking on stage and walking towards the back of the room, Sylvie and I were asked questions like, "What is an autoresponder?" Or, "How do you create a text file?" (No joke!)
And it didn't just happen once or twice. It happened many, many times. And it happened at almost every single seminar we've attended or spoke at in 2007.
Now, what does all this mean?
It means several things: Internet marketing is shifting. We are seeing more and more people entering it for the first time. We are seeing less of the successful, seasoned marketers who have made their wealth and moved on.
In other words, what we're seeing is a shift to people who are completely green, entering the world of Internet marketing, and launching a business online for the very first time — with very limited knowledge about it to boot.
And many of the existing, top marketers we have learned from in the last few years have either retired or decided to go after… well… the "majority!" That is, they are going offline.
Yes, offline.
And that, my friends, is the golden key.
More importantly, we're seeing — and we'll see more of — the Asian market, too, entering the Internet marketing sphere.
The more Asian citizens gain access to the web, the more Internet marketing will change, too, to reflect this shift. China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and others are definitely going to be forces to be reckoned with.
We're seeing this already.
(Sylvie and I are speaking in Singapore next spring, by the way. Some of these events pack as many as 3,000 people.)
Bottom line, these shifts represent not only a major correction affecting the world of Internet marketing, but also show the three major markets to watch out for in the coming year:
The newbie market;
The offline market;
The Asian market.
And that's my prediction for the new year and beyond. Watch out for these markets. Enter them. Serve them. Or get out of the way.
That said, I do have a few technology-related predictions. (A blog post on new year's predictions wouldn't be complete without them, eh?)
Some of the ones I made last year did come true — and we'll see more and more of them in 2008 as well.
For example, online video will become ubiquitous. The web will become increasingly "widgetized." People will demand for more samplification. And interactivity will become vastly more popular and sophisticated.
But what about some of the major technology companies?
Well, I hate to make those kinds of predictions because Internet marketing is as volatile as the stock market. But I agree that some major acquisitions are in store for the coming year. My guess? Any one of the following…
AOL by Yahoo!;
Yahoo! by Microsoft;
Technorati or SixApart (makers of MovableType and TypePad) by Microsoft or Yahoo! (likely to compete in the blogging space against none other than giants WordPress and Google's Blogger);
Or Facebook — maybe by Microsoft, Yahoo!, or someone else.
Speaking of Facebook, whether or not it does get acquired, it's going to see the same kind of decline in popularity in 2008 that MySpace saw in 2007.
In fact, when my kids got me onto Facebook earlier this year, and I refused at first because I told them I already had a MySpace account, in a pretentious tone they replied, "But Dad, MySpace is soooo last year!"
I think Facebook will face the same fate, I fear.
Anyway, there you have it.
Until next time, thank you for your support this year. I appreciate you and wish you a peaceful, healthy, profitable, happy, and prosperous new year!
