Oyster Hotel Review
Hotel Class: Mid-Range
Quirky style that sometimes falters throughout common spaces
Le Relais Madeleine blends perfectly with the surrounding Haussmannian buildings on a narrow street lined with restaurants and cafes. Inside, the lobby is homey, with an antique wooden desk at reception and large, street-facing windows, numerous potted plants, a statue of a svelte dog, and a mishmash of antique furniture and newer pieces. But a more stylish space could be the courtyard out back, with a few bright-red metal chairs surrounding a marble-topped table and walls lined with lots of dark, dramatic trellises. There's also a lower-level breakfast room with whitewashed brick walls dotted by framed album covers and photos (there's even a framed pic of a young John Stewart with a cigarette dangling from his lips). All in all, it's a quirky, mixed bag of a property that draws plenty of couples, though families find their way here, too.

Perfect Parisian location, close to shopping, art, theaters, and gardens
Le Relais Madeleine is located in the 9th Arrondissement, near the Palais Garnier Opera House and a nine-minute walk from major department stores popular with tourists, namely Printemps (a five-minute walk) and Galeries Lafayette (an eight-minute walk). The seedy Pigalle district is 21 minutes away on foot. Place Vendome is a seven-minute walk, and from there it's just another four minutes to the Tuilleries Garden. For exploration farther away, the Madeleine metro stop is a two-minute walk and connects to three major lines. The Charles de Gaulle international airport is a minimum half-hour drive or about 45 minutes by public transport.

Individually decorated rooms with some quirky decorative touches
Rooms at Le Relais Madeleine are individually decorated, but all have similar decor, with pastel-hued walls, patterned drapes and -- in some cases -- headboards, simple framed prints, and wooden desks and nightstands. Rooms start at 140 square feet (43 square meters) and go up from there; there's even a four-person suite with access to a small rooftop terrace and sauna. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, safes, Bluetooth-accessible Bose Soundlink speakers, minibars with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, and closets with interior lighting (these also offer a surprising amount of storage for Paris). Most also have electric kettles with coffee/tea supplies. Bathrooms are snug, with shower/tub combos, free basic toiletries, magnifying mirrors, towel-warmers, and a reasonable amount of counter space. Note that street-facing rooms get some noise.
Little apart from loaner iPads, a public computer, breakfast for a fee, and free Wi-Fi
Le Relais Madeleine offers little in the way of features. There's no fitness center, meeting rooms, or any proper restaurant or bar (beyond the breakfast room), though the hotel does have a computer for guest use along with some loaner iPads. Breakfast is available for a fee and includes continental items such as croissants and fruit along with coffee and fresh orange juice. Airport transfers are available for a fee, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Pets are welcome, but arrangements must be made in advance.

Opinion: New HBO documentary demonstrates Tiger Woods' boldness and hypocrisy on race
In 1996 Nike debuted its first Tiger Woods ad. It's considered groundbreaking but the story behind it, and what it signifies, is one of the more fascinating parts of a new Tiger Woods documentary on HBO.
Part one of the documentary Tiger debuts on Jan. 10 and the second on Jan. 17. It covers numerous aspects of Woods' life and controversies, his rise and fall, and his subsequent comeback is explored in detail.
It's a well told story by HBO and is the second such exploration of Woods but the most important part of the series is what it does perhaps inadvertently. Let's go back to that Nike ad.
HBO interviews Jim Riswold, then the advertising director for Nike, and he says initially there was concern about creating an ad that dealt with Woods' race.
DOUBLE STANDARD: LeBron James expresses outrage over Capitol rioters
COLUMN: Sorenstam, Player shame golf by accepting Medal of Freedom from Trump
"Golf was very lily white and there was some discussion, I brought it up, of do we play the race card?" he says in the doc.
(Note: there is no such thing as a race card. Race cards are not yet offered by Visa and race cards are not in a deck of cards. You don't slam a winning poker hand on the table and say "race card! I win!")
Riswold said when they discussed the concept with Woods and his father, Earl, their reaction was, "'(Expletive) yeah, let's do this.'"
It's one of the best parts of the doc because it illustrates how Woods was willing to use his unique racial makeup when it was convenient, and perhaps even profitable, for him, but as he became more mainstream, he became more reticent to discuss race. In fact, he's rarely done so since those days.
The documentary may not have intentionally sent that message in recounting the story behind that first Nike ad, but it's impossible not to see it. That scene is also a window into not just Woods and his views on race (then and now) but also into the rest of us. The reaction to that commercial in some corners of the media and country was astounding.
After the ad ran, an anchor for ABC News said: "Now this is the first time we can remember when a company like Nike used racial discord to help sell its products. Used it as a way to give a tough new edge to a very nice young man."
Think about those words. He was saying Woods simply addressing race gave him "a tough new edge" and that not talking race made him a "very nice young man."
This was almost a precursor to "shut up and dribble." While WNBA players, LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick, and other athletes cherish their roles as activists without fear, Woods would eventually shun any such belief after initially seeming to embrace it.
"The world is ready," said Earl Woods in the documentary, "for a non-white golfer to be successful."
"I have availed Tiger of this," Earl added, "and he takes that responsibility seriously."
He did until he didn't.
This Woods documentary, like the other one, makes it clear that Woods was well aware of race, and the racism he faced, though he's only publicly discussed race a handful of times and mostly decades ago.
The night before he'd dominate the 1997 Masters, the documentary notes, Woods was restless. Throughout the Masters, he'd received a series of racially motivated threats, and during the tournament itself, members of the gallery yelled the N-word.
Woods spoke to his father, who told him to just stay calm and do what he does best which is play golf. Woods did and he won by 12 strokes.
"Golf is basically a bastion of Caucasian America," said Gary Smith, senior writer for Sports Illustrated, "and Tiger was walking into this white world and dominating it."

No issue exactly how great your images are, they will not offer if no one could discover them. All stock websites allow you identify or keyword your graphics. An excellent method to keywording is to address 6 basic concerns for each graphic: Who?
For good health care associated photos, taken in a medical facility. Responding to "Where" returns "medical facility", "waiting area" or "theater", while "When" offers "early morning", "mid-day" or any type of various other time of day or year. Ask on your own "Why" to stimulate principles like "health issues", "convenience" or "persistence".
Constantly keep in mind that the end individual of your graphic might desire to publish it out at some point. Sound is generated by your electronic cam's sensing unit as well as is something electronic professional photographers have to live regarding, considerably like typical digital photographers had to live regarding movie grain.
Expert image purchasers do not care for that kind of graphics. A lot of stock digital photography firms have rigorous regulations pertaining to graphics of folks (if the individuals in the picture are well-known), home (if the picture of the home could lead to its proprietor, e.g. a certificate plate on an automobile), and also trademarked products or company logos anywhere in the picture.

Close Connection: The Laszlo Gardony Trio Celebrates Its New Album
Please see the events listing for upcoming events.
Thursday / January 26, 2023 / 7:30 pm
David Friend Recital Hall (DFRH)
Laszlo Gardony Trio
Pianist and composer Laszlo Gardony celebrates his new trio album, Close Connection (Sunnyside Records), along with bassist John Lockwood and drummer Yoron Israel. Renowned jazz journalist Bill Milkowski describes the music on Close Connection as such: "It's a confluence of musical styles in a highly interactive trio setting, where Laszlo's Central European folk roots come to the fore, alongside his lifelong love of jazz standards and his youthful infatuation with '70s prog-rock. It's where Bartok meets Monk and King Crimson, filtered through Gardony's unique prism and expertly interpreted by his longtime, simpatico rhythm tandem of bassist John Lockwood and drummer Yoron Israel. And he calls it New Prog Jazz."


On May 18, 2008, Jacy Good and her parents attended her graduation ceremony at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Jacy had landed her dream job through AmeriCorps as a team leader for Habitat For Humanity and was excited about the future. On the way home from graduation, a young driver talking on his cell phone ran a red light, causing a tractor-trailer to swerve and crash into the Goods' vehicle. Jacy was critically injured, and both of her parents, Jean and Jay Good, were killed instantly.
Jacy underwent 9 hours of surgery and was given only a 10% chance of surviving. She spent months in the hospital and rehabilitation and had to learn to walk and talk again. Her body contains numerous titanium rods, plates and screws. Due to a traumatic brain injury, Jacy is unable to use her left arm or lower leg and walks with a cane. She had to learn to do the everyday things in life using only one arm. In addition, she has minor lingering cognitive issues.
Jacy has become a tireless advocate for cell phone free driving. She and her college sweetheart, Steve Johnson, now her husband, established the organization, Hang Up and Drive. Jacy has spoken to over 100,000 people in 29 states since 2011. She has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, as a guest of Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon at the United Nations and in People Magazine, as a "Hero Among Us".
Jacy is also part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's "Faces of Distracted Driving" series. View the video below.


Advanced Recon Force Troopers, or simply ARF Troopers, were specialized clone troopers that carried out short-range reconnaissance for Jedi Generals and clone commanders.
These clone troopers were often tasked with scouting out the enemy position on the battlefield. Although stealthy and well-trained, recon troopers' duties differed from that of clone commandos or Advanced Recon Commandos as their focus was on gathering information about the enemy or carrying out surprise attacks.
Before the introduction of the AT-RT drivers, ARF Troopers would often be pressed into service in that capacity.
Advanced Recon Force troopers were first introduced during the time of the Clone Wars and like most of their clone brethren; they were created on the planet Kamino which served as their "homeworld" and swore their allegiance to the Galactic Republic. They proved to be valuable assets to the Grand Army of the Republic due to their ability to carry out reconnaissance and deliver accurate, eye-witness reports of enemy activities, without alerting them to their presence.

New theory offers clues to vital 'repair and maintenance' role of sleep
by University of Surrey
(Medical Xpress)—We spend about a third of our life asleep, but why we need to do so remains a mystery. In a recent publication, researchers at University of Surrey and University College London suggest a new hypothesis, that the biological function of sleep is to allow for vital 'repair and maintenance' of the cells in our brain, so called neurons. The research also proposes that these repair functions can only occur if the rest periods of individual neurons are aligned precisely at a time scale of seconds or less. The hypothesis is published today (20 May) in Nature Reviews Neuroscience.
Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, Lecturer in Sleep and Chronobiology at the University of Surrey, comments; "We have billions of neurons in our brain, and each of them is connected with thousands of other neurons that are constantly talking to each other and exchanging information. It appears that our neurons cannot rest and repair themselves independently; they have to all shut down at the same time so as not to disturb each other and allow each individual cell in our brain to obtain the rest it needs."
"If neurons attempt to obtain rest while we are awake, it is not only much less efficient, but also affects our performance negatively. On the other hand, under certain conditions some areas of our brain may be unable to "fall asleep" and remain in a "local wakefulness" state, resulting in us experiencing a very bad night's sleep."
Kenneth Harris of UCL, a co-author on the article, adds: "There are intriguing parallels between the cellular repair processes that occur in brain cells after prolonged waking, and in muscle cells after exercise. This suggests that the repairs they are conducting may be similar. But while you can rest your muscles while being awake, to rest the brain during waking would be impossible."
"The same happens in many other circumstances outside of biology. The London Underground for example, can only function properly during the day because it has extensive maintenance every night. We suggest that sleep allows a similar period of maintenance for the brain."

Beverly Cleary
Park/Greenbelt
If you're a fan of children's literature, you may recognize Grant Park as the setting for Beverly Cleary's beloved Klickitat Street series, which included characters like Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy (Henry's dog). Cleary, and her most well-known characters, are honored with sculptures in the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children, one of Portland's most popular playgrounds.
VIBE AND STYLE
But you don't need books to be charmed by this cozy residential area, built in the 1920s and 30s, and featuring mostly Old Portland and Craftsman style homes. The park and neighborhood are named after U.S. President Ulysses Grant, who lived in Vancouver, Washington early in his military career. In conjunction with its fascinating history, Grant Park is also an entirely contemporary Portland neighborhood, bordering some of the city's fastest-growing areas while still remaining safe, quiet, and close-knit. The Laurelhurst, Alberta, Hollywood, and Alameda communities all border Grant Park, which runs north from NE 26th to 47th and east from NE Knott to NE Broadway.
The Neighborhood Association is very active, offering opportunities for community members, both residential and commercial, to gather often to plan events and discuss local improvement projects for Grant Park as a whole. The actual Grant Park is well-loved by Portlanders, and offers a dog park, walking trails, sport fields and courts, and an enormous picnic area, which can also be reserved for large events. It goes without saying in Portland, but the area is also home to fantastic food options and farmer's markets!
OUTDOOR SANCTUARY
The two most famous outdoor spaces in Grant Park are the beloved Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden for Children and the eponymous Grant Park, but those aren't all this diverse community has to offer. Behind 35th and Siskiyou, urban hikers can explore the many sets of staircases etched into the hillside leading up to Alameda Ridge. From the Ridge, stunning vistas of Portland and beyond are available in every direction. For less dramatic, but equally as breathtaking a show, the cherry blossoms in NE Portland are city-renowned as harbingers of spring and sunshine.

Atif bhai – Many here slept with more than one woman, that's not the debate here. The debate is House of Card style open marriages. There will be very very few OK with that. It's natural if one can not only sleep with more than partner but allows the other half to do the same. May be if it's more common and there are protocols around it it may look more acceptable and close to nature. In present framework it's not mind boggling why monogamy trumps polygamy or polyandry. It's not even a competition.

Louisiana Governor to Decide Posthumous Pardon for Homer Plessy
tags: civil rights, Jim Crow, segregation, Louisiana, Homer Plessy
On June 7, 1892, a racially mixed shoemaker from New Orleans named Homer Plessy bought a first-class ticket for a train bound for Covington, La., and took a seat in the whites-only car. He was asked to leave, and after he refused, he was dragged from the train and charged with violating the Louisiana Separate Car Act. He pleaded guilty and was fined $25.
On Friday, nearly 130 years after the arrest, the Louisiana Board of Pardons voted to clear his record.
"There is no doubt that he was guilty of that act on that date," Jason Williams, the Orleans Parish district attorney, told the board during a brief hearing on Friday. "But there is equally no doubt that such an act should have never been a crime in this country."
The arrest elevated Plessy into the central figure in a legal battle that reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The landmark ruling that resulted in the case, Plessy v. Ferguson, came to be regarded as one of most shameful decisions in the court's history as well as one of the most consequential. It endorsed the "separate but equal" doctrine and gave legal backing to the Jim Crow laws that segregated and disenfranchised African Americans in the South for decades.
In making their decision, board officials cited the Avery C. Alexander Act, legislation named for the civil rights leader and longtime member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, which calls for pardoning individuals who had been convicted of violating laws enacted with the purpose of enforcing segregation or discrimination.
The 1890 Louisiana Separate Car Act was precisely that kind of law, part of a flurry of segregationist legislation pursued across the South in an effort to construct a new racist order after Reconstruction.
"It has never been used," Mr. Williams said of the Alexander Act. "It almost makes you think it was designed for just this moment, for Homer Plessy."
Plessy had boarded the East Louisiana Railway's No. 8 train in New Orleans intending to get arrested. He was an activist who was part of a local civil rights group that was infuriated by the Separate Car Act. The group chose Plessy as the one to ride the train because he could pass for a white man.

Hey guys, me and my brothers have spent the past 3 years fixing up a 2001 ducati 996 monoposto with a full termignoni carbon exhaust and lots of other nice carbon add ones to give to our Dad as a gift. He has wanted one of these bikes since they came out, and after he had to sell his that desire really kicked up. Me and my two brothers chipped in and bought one that we saw at auction that needed some serious work and well, we managed to get along well enough to put that work in. Now that it is finally time to give it to Dad we want to make it a very special Christmas.
Thanks to Iconic for all his help looking around the web, you helped me cover a lot of ground! Since eBay did not have what I am looking for on any of the versions I looked at, I was able to find a really nice historic jacket actually on http://www.for-sale.co.uk/ducati-jacket. The price was very reasonable, so I also picked up a cheap Ducati hoodie that I saw on there to give my dad for around the house wearing. I am positive he will love them both, thanks again for all your help Iconic.

Hi there, welcome and Well Done!
What a great present to give, especially your own time for your father.
Google cannot find an LF-2001 Ducati jacket, sadly - that era clothing though is right between the Foggy and Troy Bayliss years, typified by the style below I believe?
Good luck; Ebay and Gumtree are prime - I did know of a recycle shop in London but it seems they might have folded.
Yea that is exactly the style we are looking for. I have some alarms set on eBay and Gumtree, just need to find more websites like that it seems. Thanks for the tips though.
Cant help thinking an Historic line of Jacket might be better, especially as it could be a brand new item?
Only a single size 52 or 54 are shown now.
I do like the idea of getting him a newer historical jacket, the price is just so high though. I will have to keep looking.

An Evidence‑Based Approach to Scoping Reviews pp46-52
Antonio Hidalgo Landa, Istvan Szabo, Liam Le Brun, Ian Owen, Graham Fletcher
© Jan 2011 Volume 14 Issue 1, ECIME 2010 Special Issue, Editor: Miguel de Castro Neto, pp1 - 166
Scoping reviews are used to assess the extent of a body of literature on a particular topic, usually in order to ensure that further research in that area is a beneficial addition to world knowledge. It is typically the first stage of a research project, informing the following work, and so can have a significant impact on both methods and results. Without systematic methods, reviews are subject to personal and community biases, whether intended or not. Evidence‑based science is a broad collection of techniques intended to improve research quality by methodically analysing documented relevant facts, rather than relying on expert opinion. Systematic reviews are a key element and are used in many fields from medicine to public policy to engineering. We propose a repeatable, documented, evidence‑based approach to search and manage the literature, in order to assure demonstrated objectivity of the resulting review. Software tools are prototyped, issues identified and some resolved.It is not clear from the three test cases whether the effort spent in researching, designing and developing the guidelines directly outweighs expert‑based reviews. Further applications of the guidelines and comparative tests are needed.

Research on IT/IS Evaluation: A 25 Year Review pp276-287
Xingchen Song, Nick Letch
© Nov 2012 Volume 15 Issue 3, ICIME, Editor: Dan Remenyi, pp230 - 287
The conduct of IT/IS evaluation and its associated approaches, techniques and methods have been the subject of IS research for many years, particularly in the last two decades. This paper reflects on the body of knowledge which has emerged over the past twenty‑five years in order to identify where research efforts are focussed, what are the important issues in IT/IS evaluation research, and where future research efforts should be placed. This study presents a descriptive analysis of research on IT/IS evaluation over the last 25 five years, from 1986 to 2010, in five leading IS journals In total, 176 papers related to IT/IS evaluation are identified and reviewed in this study. Based on the Context, Content and Process model, IT/IS evaluation can be broken down to five interrelated elements: why evaluation is carried out, what is evaluated,whenwhen evaluation takes place, how evaluation is performed and who is involved in evaluation. Each of these elements are identified and classified in the sample research articles and based on this analysis, we propose a new perspective for classifying IT/IS evaluation approaches.

Identifying Multiple Dimensions of a Business Case: A Systematic Literature Review pp47-59
Kim Maes, Wim Van Grembergen, Steven De Haes
Abstract: A business case is in many organisations perceived as a valuable instrument for the justification and evaluation of information technology (IT) investments. This attention from practice has been ascertained by academic scholars, resulting in a growing number of publications in both top academic and practitioner journals since 1999. However, much knowledge on business case research is scattered throughout literature and a clear definition of what actually constitutes a business case is still missing. Therefore, the present paper aims to understand and integrate the current state of research on business cases in an attempt to realise two objectives with clear contributions. First, we tackle the problem of scattered knowledge by organising fragmented knowledge into a newly developed Business Case Research Framework that clearly structures the study field into six dimensions. Second, we identify what constitutes a business case and provide a clear definition to resolve the misunderstanding among scholars. A systematic literature review methodology is performed in a selection of top academic and practitioner journals. Based on the literature findings, we observe that the application of business cases is useful in a broad range of investment contexts. We also find sufficient argumentation that using a business case continuously throughout an entire investment life cycle can increase the investment success rate, that a richer set of information (rather than only financial numbers) should be included in a business case and that stakeholder inclusion is important when developing and using business cases.

Organizational Learning and ERP Systems in the post‑implementation phase: Where do we Stand? A Literature Review pp120-129
Gunilla Myreteg
© Sep 2015 Volume 18 Issue 2, The special issue from ECIME 2014, Editor: Jan Devos, pp93 - 210
Abstract: ERP systems are today implemented in a great number of organizations. Research has invested much energy and time to make descriptions and recommendations regarding how the implementation should best be managed. The next step in practice as well as in research is how to continue to develop the business processes and ERP systems in order to take advantage of all their promises, and to refine how ERP systems are used in day‑to‑day activities. A starting point for the present study is that organizat ions today are characterized by strong external and internal pressure. In order to response to and deal with these, organizations strive to balance demands regarding stability and change. This implies that organizations put effort into designing and maint aining or changing practices, rules and routines. Within the general fields of organization theory and management accounting/control the ambition to create deliberate change is often conceptualized as processes of organizational learning (OL). This conc ept has also been used in the context of ERP systems. The research field is however heterogeneous and findings are scattered and inconsistent. There is a need for further development of our knowledge about the role of ERP systems in processes of organizat ional learning after the implementation phase. The present paper strives to consolidate and synthesize the current knowledge. The research question is to what extent and how do research conceptualize organizational learning and its interactions and involv ement with the ERP system? The paper is a literature review of research on OL in the context of ERP systems in the post‑implementation phase between the years 2005‑2015. A total number of 18 research articles were identified. The aim is to analyze and cla ssify previous research, and also to give suggestions for avenues suitable and fruitful for future research. The review compares and contrasts approaches in order to analyze similarities and dissimilarities and to investigate what topics or issues have be en addressed by previous research. The analysis shows that overall there is a lack of definitions and stringency in research on OL in an ERP systems context in the post‑implementation phase. The final section also forwards some suggestions for future rese arch.

The third edition of Understanding Employment Law continues to strike a balance between comprehensiveness and selectivity. It provides the substantive material needed to succeed in practice and in the classroom and on final examinations, without overwhelming the reader with details that are unduly esoteric or tangential. The book begins first with common-law employment doctrines such as employment-at-will, employment contracts, employment torts, workplace privacy issues, and restrictive covenants. It then turns to federal and state statutory regulation of the workplace, covering topics such as compensation (including wage and hour legislation and unemployment insurance), employee benefits (including leave time, pensions, and health insurance), and workplace safety legislation. The third edition provides an updated approach to a complex and multifaceted legal framework that is continually evolving.


On Monday The Check House held a dignity action day which was a very enjoyable event. Richie James sang lots of classic tunes and the residents and staff enjoyed a good dance! As usual the cakes for tea looked wonderful and were enjoyed by everyone.

Holy Reread Batman! – Year One
Part One of the Batman Reread! In this, Eric and his wife, Kendra, look back on Batman: Year One.
Eric: Batman: Year One was written by Frank Miller and drawn by David Mazzucchelli. After Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams brought Batman back from camp into the darker realism of his original intent, Miller pushed it even further. While O'Neil's Batman was a return to grounded form, it was still a superhero that could exist in a world with Superman and Wonder Woman. Miller's take on the character in Year One is a character that works best away from all that. Gotham is gritty and shares more in common with New York City circa the 1970s. While Superman is mentioned, his kind has no place in this world.
…and effect.
What struck me first, while rereading this book, was that most of what I remembered from this was in the first issue alone. Jim Gordon beating down Flass, Bruce getting the crap kicked out of him his first night out and the iconic scene of the bat breaking through the glass, these all happen in part one of four. I don't know why these specific moments have stuck with me so long. Maybe it's the idea of Gordon showing the corrupt cops he's not to be taken lightly that gave me respect for the character. Maybe when I first read this, I couldn't believe Batman was ever green enough that he would get hurt against a pimp and a twelve year old. I was only seventeen or so when I got Year One for Christmas, so my experience with the character in comic form was still limited by three or four books.
Kendra: This is the first real Batman comic I've ever read. Before this all I knew of Batman was what I'd seen in the movies and animated shows and the few times he has popped up in Birds of Prey. I had seen the Batman: Year One animated movie so I knew basically what they story was about. It's very interesting to see Gordon and Batman's characters before they became what we know them as. It never even occurred to me that there was a time before Gordon became commissioner. It's new to me seeing him as a flawed character. I'm so used to seeing him as the only non-crooked cop in Gotham so it was surprising to see him do something immoral (cheating on his wife). I hated it but I suppose they did it to give his character more depth.
Later used by Batman Begins.
Eric: The rest of the comic, beyond the first issue, is still great. Batman fending off the police, working with Harvey Dent, jumping off the bridge to save Gordon's son, these are classic moments. When Batman Begins came out, I was knocked back by how much like Year One it was, down to specific scenes. When Christian Bale, dresses as Batman, summoned a swarm of bats to escape Gotham's special unit, it was like the comic panels were made into motion. The idea that Batman must become a symbol of fear, rather than just a man, is presented here as not something that Bruce realized right away. He learns the hard way that he needs something extra to truly fight crime his way. It's a testament to the comic and the movie that those concepts worked so well.
Kendra: I like how parallel the stories of Gordon and Batman are. They both are just starting their new roles in Gotham, they both fail miserably at their first attempts at justice, They both have to find ways to make people fear them, and they ultimately end up forging the friendship we are all used to seeing. Its great storytelling.
The real star of the book.
Eric: I've never picked up on the fact that Gordon needs to learn to use fear to fight his battle. It makes the comparisons even stronger. What I've always noticed though, even back when I first read it, is that Year One is Jim Gordon's story. While Bruce/Batman still has the title and own the major scenes, it's more about Gordon coming to Gotham and taking over the police force. Batman has the criminal chain, Gordon has the corrupt cops. But Batman doesn't really have to contend with Gordon's presence, where the latter must to the former. Batman becomes an element that Gordon must either confront or join, and that is just as important to his success in Gotham as taking out the dirty commissioner.
It's still iconic, 30 years later.
Kendra: After reading Year One, I thought "wow! Gordon should get his own movie or something!" Low and behold here comes the show Gotham. I hope it does a good job but you never know, we all thought Agents of SHIELD was going to be good and look what happened there. I have hopes though. Anyway I liked the focus on Gordon. I feel like it should have been called "Gotham Year One" or something because most of the focus was on Gordon.
Eric: It's amazing to me how well this comic still holds up, almost thirty years later, and more than ten years since I first read it. Because of the tight writing and gorgeous art, nothing seems wasted. What needs to be told is told, with all the fat trimmed out. If there's one element I don't think works quiet as well as I once did, it's the inclusion of Catwoman in the story. It's still good, no question, but it does seem like an idea that you could cut and not lose anything from it. But it's still gravy over the best turkey I've ever had, so I shouldn't complain. I don't even feel like I'm overstating the quality. It's not for no reason that this was considered canon for Batman's origin for three decades, no one wanted to even attempt this again after Miller hit it out of the park. I will say that I'm sad to see it go from continuity, as I am with most New 52 decisions. However, I've enjoyed most of Scott Snyder's Batman work, so I'm excited to see what Zero Year brings to the game.
Next up, Batman: The Man Who Laughs!

Pattinson currently stars in Good Time, a film centered around "Constantine Nikas," who embarks on a journey through New York City's underworld in a desperate attempt to get his brother out of jail. His performance is hailed by many critics as a career-defining moment. His other film credits include The Lost City of Z, Life, Queen of the Desert, The Rover, Cosmopolis, Life, Queen of the Desert, Map to the Stars, Water For Elephants, Remember Me and Bel Ami. Pattinson is currently in production on Claire Denis' High Life and he recently wrapped production on Damsel.

Q: How to show populations of abstract classes in index.gsp In Grails 4.0.3 and Grails 3.3.11, if you have an inheritance hierarchy with an abstract superclass, e.g.
package mypackage

abstract class A {
  String name
  // ...
  // properties
  // ...
}

package mypackage

class B extends A {
  String b
  // ...
  // properties
  // ...
}

package mypackage

class C extends A {
  String c
  // ...
  // properties
  // ...
}

And you populate the concrete classes in Bootstrap.groovy, e.g.
package mypackage

class BootStrap {

    def init = { servletContext ->
        A.withTransaction { status ->
            def listOfB = []
            (1..25).each { i ->
                listOfB << new B(name:"b${i}",b:"${i}st")
            }

            B.saveAll( listOfB )

            def listOfC = []
            (1..25).each { i ->
                listOfC << new C(name:"c${i}",c:"${i}nd")
            }

            C.saveAll( listOfC )
        }
    }
    def destroy = {
    }
}

If you use scaffolding, the index page for A shows an empty list instead of a paginated list of 50 objects (25 B objects and other 25 C objects).
Apart from that, it shows a new button that generates a java.lang.InstantiationException when clicked because it tries to instantiate an abstract class.
How can I show populations of abstract classes in index.gsp?

A: The workaround for this problem is the following:

*

*Generate views for the abstract class (only index.gsp is relevant)

*Edit the generated index.gsp in the following way:

*

*Comment the new button code

*

*Comment the <f:table> element and add the following code

<g:set var="collection" value="${mypackage.A.list(params)}" />
<g:set var="domainClass" value="${grailsApplication.getDomainClass('mypackage.A')}" />
<g:set var="domainProperties" value="${domainClass.getConstrainedProperties().keySet()}" />

<f:table collection="${collection}" properties="${domainProperties}" />

With respect to <f:table> attributes:

*

*The aList variable originally passed to <f:table> is null.

*Do not include domainClass="mypackage.A", it generates a java.lang.InstantiationException.

*The properties attribute must be present and contain the list of properties of the abstract class only. If it is not present, and objects of classes A and B appear in the same pagination, a org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException is thrown because <f:table> tries to read properties of class B on objects of class C and viceversa.

Apart from that, the create and edit pages are still available for A. I have generated-all for A and tried to delete those methods from the generated controller, but my knowledge of Grails is limited and I am having lots of errors with that, so I went back to scaffolding (which is my main reason for using Grails).
I think that Grails should not show empty lists for abstract classes in scaffolding, but I do not know if that behaviour is inside the scaffolding controller, the <f:table> tag, or harcoded in _table.gsp.
I also think that Grails should not generate create and update methods in the scaffolding controllers for abstract classes.

Bruce Sterling posted this astonishing video of the flood in Simonton, Texas. It was shot by drone and posted to YouTube by the Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management. It's going to take a long time and a lot of money to return to the way things were.
During last night's storm emergency, I monitored the FDNY scanners to try and follow fast-moving and difficult-to-obtain details about what was happening where in NYC. For future reference, radioreference.com is an excellent way to do that (provided you have power and internet access). Along with that, you'll want to have two browser tabs open, for a cheat sheet on the codes the first responders use: Box Codes (find the location of the fire alarm boxes people use to get an FDNY response in an emergency), and FDNY 10 codes (shorthand developed in 1937 for common communication among first responders).

Немецкие беженцы — согласно праву ФРГ, лица немецкой национальности или немецкие граждане, подвергшиеся депортации или вынужденные были покинуть места своего расселения в ходе или после Второй мировой войны. Приём немецких беженцев на территории ФРГ регулируется «Законом о перемещённых лицах и беженцах», принятом в 1953 году.

Категории беженцев

 Изгнанные с родины () — депортированные и приравненные к ним лица, которые на 31 декабря 1937 года или ранее проживали на территориях в пределах Германской империи в границах на 31 декабря 1937 года, а также территориях, выходящих за её пределы и по состоянию на 1 января 1914 года принадлежавших Германской империи или Австро-Венгерской империи, а также позднее — Польше, Эстонии, Латвии или Литве (Мемельланд), и покинули эти территории до 1 января 1993 года. К изгнанным с родины приравниваются также и супруги и потомки указанных лиц.

 Изгнанные () — лица немецкой национальности или немецкие граждане, которые в результате последствий Второй мировой войны вынуждены были покинуть места своего расселения или были депортированы с территорий бывших восточных областей Германской империи или с территорий, выходящих за границы Германской империи по состоянию на 31 декабря 1937. Также в эту категорию относятся лица немецкой национальности и немецкие граждане, после 30 января 1933 года покинувшие эти территории и поселившиеся за пределами Германской империи по причине преследования национал-социалистским режимом по признаку расы, политических, религиозных или мировоззренческих убеждений. К изгнанным приравниваются также и супруги и потомки указанных лиц.

 Принудительно переселяемые () — лица немецкой национальности или немецкие граждане, подвергшиеся насильственному переселению в Германию с территорий других стран вследствие международных договоров, заключённых во время Второй мировой войны, или с оккупированных территорий вследствие действий оккупационных властей, а также их супруги и потомки.

 Переселенцы () — лица немецкой национальности или немецкие граждане, до 1 января 1993 года в рамках приёма в Германию покинувшие территории бывших восточных областей Германской империи, Данциг, Эстонию, Латвию, Литву, страны бывшего Советского Союза, Польшу, Чехословакию, Венгрию, Румынию, Болгарию, Югославию, Албанию или Китай за исключением, если эти лица, не будучи изгнанными оттуда, переселились на эти территории после 8 мая 1945 года.

 Беженцы с советской зоны () — лица немецкой национальности или немецкие граждане, проживающие в советской зоне оккупации Германии или в советском секторе Берлина и до 1 июля 1990 года по политическим мотивам покинувшие их, а также их супруги и потомки.

Современное положение
С 1 января 1993 года приём немецких беженцев всех указанных категорий официально считается оконченным. С этого момента ФРГ начинает приём «поздних переселенцев» () — этнических немцев из стран, из которых до 1993 года осуществлялся приём «переселенцев» (Восточная Европа, страны бывшего СССР и Китай). Регулирование приёма поздних переселенцев продолжается на основании закона о перемещённых лицах и беженцах, многократно реформированного с момента своего принятия.

Лица немецкой национальности, рождённые после 31 декабря 1992 года, больше не попадают ни под какую из категорий и могут переселиться в Германию лишь как потомки поздних переселенцев () или на общих правилах, действующих для иностранцев.
