Background and Aim: Early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence is common, even after achieving hepatitis C virus (HCV) cure. This study was carried out to assess the long-term trends and predictors of recurrence after HCV cure by direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). Methods: This retrospective, multicenter cohort study enrolled 365 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C who required HCC treatment following sustained viral response (SVR) by DAA administration. Patients with HCC recurrence before SVR were excluded. Late HCC recurrence and its predictors beyond the post-treatment early phase (24 weeks after SVR) were evaluated. Results: The data of 326 patients were available for the final analysis. The median follow-up duration from SVR determination was 2.7 years. Median age was 74, and 220 (67.5%) were 70 or over. The corresponding 5-year cumulative HCC recurrence rates of previous curative and palliative treatment groups were 45.4% and 65.7%, respectively (log-rank test: P < 0.001). Cox regression multivariable analysis revealed that cirrhosis (hazard ratio [HR] 1.85, P = 0.021), the number of HCC nodules (≥ 2) (HR 1.52, P = 0.031), and previous palliative HCC treatment (HR 1.71, P = 0.012) were independent predictors of late recurrence, in addition to the predictors of early recurrence; AFP > 7 ng/mL at 12 weeks after DAA administration, time from HCC complete response (CR) to DAA initiation (< 1 year), and the number of HCC treatments necessary to achieve CR (≥ 2). Conclusions: The evaluation of fibrosis and characteristics of the previous HCC would allow for better HCC recurrence stratification, which would be helpful for developing long-term surveillance strategies.

Q: How to get data with column names/headers in java JDBC Following is Java Code to get data from DB using JDBC. However, I want column names also but it's appending data only. I am not sure how to achieve this.
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSetMetaData;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.util.Properties;
public class DbToCSV {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {

            FileReader reader=new FileReader("some.properties");
            Properties properties=new Properties();
            properties.load(reader);
            String filename =properties.getProperty("filepath");
            FileWriter filewrite = new FileWriter(filename);
            Class.forName(properties.getProperty("jdbc.driver")).newInstance();
            Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection
                    (properties.getProperty("jdbc.url"),
                    properties.getProperty("jdbc.username"),
                    properties.getProperty("jdbc.password"));

            String query = properties.getProperty("jdbc.query");

            Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
            ResultSet resultSet = stmt.executeQuery(query);
            ResultSetMetaData rsmd = resultSet.getMetaData();
            int columnCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();

            while (resultSet.next()) {
                for(int i=2; i<=columnCount;i++){

                    filewrite.append(resultSet.getString(i));
                    filewrite.append(',');
                }
                filewrite.append('\n');
               }
            filewrite.flush();
            filewrite.close();
            connection.close();
            System.out.println("CSV File is Generated successfully.");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Please, anyone, explain how to get with column headers also in CSV?

A: You can get this info from the ResultSet metadata.
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();

String name = rsmd.getColumnName(1);

Albanian Catholic Bulletin Vol. 3 No. 1 & 2
the canons and laws of the reactionary bourgeoisie, all of them were
chains that shackled and oppressed the
believers. The Catholic Church and its
clergy were obscurantist, conservative, adaptable, and resilient to the
highest degree, and always in alliance with the reactionary regimes such
as that of Princ Wied, and Ahmet
Zog, and indeed did not fail to have
a finger in the democratic-bourgeois
regime of Fan Noli, as well as kowtowing to every foreign invader that
occupied   Albania,     whether     Austro-
Hungarian, Italian fascists, or German
nazis.
Only our regime of the dictatorship
of the proletariat cut off the hand
and, later, the head, of the Catholic
But we must not be diverted from
the period under analysis. That was
the situation among the hierarchy of
the Catholic religion and the Catholic
believers prior to the Conference ot
Peza. The top priests were double
agents of the Vatican and of the Italian invaders. But for us, for the National-liberation War, there existed the
broad    field    of    the    people    of    the
North, of those who believed in religion. There were also some poor,
rank and file priests who might, to
some extent, listen to our word, because they lived closer to the sufferings and worries of the people.
In these directions we would work
and make headway.
The Muslim religion, its adherants
and its clergy, were not a serious
obstacle to our war against the Italian invader like the Catholic religion. Even before the occupation oi'
the country, but more so afterwards,
the hierarchy of the Muslim faith was
weak, without the least experience-
to give us trouble. The mosques
existed. They each had a hodja, but
very few, if any, practising adherants.
The rites had been abandoned. No
marriage was performed according to
the Sheriat, and everything else, such
as the observation of Ramadan, «the
feast of Bajram» had become routine
customs, which were practised only
because they «existed». The hodjas
were all ignorant, none of them was
in a position to propagate the philosophy, ethics or the morality of the
Koran,   nobody  understood   the  Koran
A Profaned  Nation
In 1967 a teacher who had studied in France proclaimed Albania the
first and as yet only atheist country in the world. What Hitler, Stalin,
Mao and all other dictators failed to achieve has been accomplished by
Enver Hodscha. This monstrous feat was confirmed by the new constitution of 1976 : religious activity is forbidden the same as inciting to
rebellion. Although this total ban on religion violates a whole series of
international agreements, not one country in the world has done
anything about it. Christian Europe sleeps peacefully on. Albania remains a member of the United Nations without being boycotted like
South Africa or Israel. European countries that call themselves
Christian keep up their trade with Tirana. No one protests.
Shortly after Hodscha passed his decree there occurred the 500th
anniversary of the death of Skanderberg, the Albanian national hero
who for his heroic resistance to the Turks was given the title of «Athleta
Christi» by the pope. Where are the athletes of Christ today ? Who
raises his voice because 2,738 churches, convents and mosques were
profaned or destroyed in 1967 and 1968 ? Who protests that priests are
put to death, like the elderly Stefan Kurti, who had baptised a baby at its
mother's request ? Who protests that Skutari cathedral (see photograph) has been transformed into a sports gymnasium ? Here a people
is being profaned in the depths of its being, in the very roots of its
existence, in its closeness to its Creator. Here we may not remain
unactive.
Albania is closed to us, but Albanian refugees can be helped. There are
Albanian catholic minorities living in southern Italy and in Kosovo, the
«poor-house» of Yugoslavia. This is where our offensive and our aid
must begin, so that the faithful are helped and the numerous vocations
to the priesthood are not lost. When Enver Hodscha, who is now 74
years old, is called to give account of himself to God and circumstances
in Albania change, the spiritual reconquest of the country will be
launched from here. So help us spread the word of God in the Albanian
language and train new Albanian priests
because it was recited by heart in
a foreign tongue (Arabic). Though
conservative in customs, the hodjas
were not politicians and incapable
of exercising influence by means of
the Islamic thought. The broad masses
of the people were almost liberated
from the bonds of religion, the intellectual development of the Muslim
believers was more extensive and
there was very great liberalism and
tolerance. Hence the work of the Party in raising the people in struggle
faced no serious obstacle in this direction.
In the Bektashi sect, too, most ot
the Muhibs displayed patriotism and
fought  for  the   liberation   of   Albania.
The same situation existed, also, in
the orthodox christian faith, both in
the hierarchy of the church as well
as among the believers.
Thus, we had the question of religious beliefs in the centre of our
attention during the period of the
National-liberation War and also aftet
the war, because the people's feelings
must not be hurt if their participation
in the war for the liberation of the
Homeland and for the construction of
a new Albania was to be achieved.

Noah Was Judged For Being Racist
Noah is a child star who has 20 million followers on social media.
A video of him got viral in which he was rapping with Chris Brown and Lil Dicky.
The rap contained a word neighbor, which Noah mistakenly pronounced as the N-word.
As that word determines the racial slur, the public immediately judged him. He was charged for being racist and using a racial slur.
Later he came in front apologizing for his mistake. He opened up that he had never used that word in his life.
He also opened that he used the neighbor word while he was practicing the rap.
He didn't use that purposely during that rap video. He admitted that it was just his tongue slipped and the N-word came out of his mouth.
He also understood why people were so offended and judged him. He understood his mistake and said sorry for that.
Noah Posted An Inappropriate Tweet
In August 2020, Noah's was seen posting very inappropriate content and talking about many negative subjects through his Twitter account.
His tweets were not only about inappropriate content, but he had also posted many more things related to sexual harassment, racism comments, threats and suicide.
He also tweeted that he was smoking and was being beaten up. Everyone was shocked after seeing his tweets.
Many people even criticized him for that. Noah later got to know about this news.
After that, Noah immediately posted on his Instagram account, saying that his account had been hacked.
The offensive tweets were all tweeted by a hacker, but the hacker later deleted some of them.
Noah, by any means, tried to get his account back and said that he would let his fans and audience know about the updates.
Eventually, Noah got his account back later.

His flu was so severe that he was rushed to hospital and admitted over there.
He was not even able to join and continue his shooting with his cast member for a short period.
His fans were desperate to see him in the show and thought where he might have gone.
He opened about his illness through social media, where he posted him lying in a hospital bed.
Noah missed his shooting and his friends over there. He got fine after a certain period.
He also thanked his fans that their prayer worked, and he got well soon.
Celebrity Mother Noah Schnapp


Over the last two decades, there have been a myriad of cases in which courts have considered whether a termination clause is compliant with the applicable employment standards legislation and, ultimately, whether it successfully displaced the employee's right to common law reasonable notice.
Unfortunately, not all of these cases can be reconciled.
The court also affirmed the value of a "failsafe provision" in such clauses.
The applicant, IBM Canada, employed the respondent, Noah Amberber, as a senior support representative. In April 2016, IBM advised Amberber that his employment would be terminated without cause.
Amberber commenced an action for wrongful dismissal, claiming an entitlement to pay in lieu of notice at common law of sixteen months.
IBM brought a motion for summary judgment, arguing that Amberber's claim for damages was precluded by the termination clause in the employment contract.
The motion judge held that the termination clause effectively consisted of three parts: the "options provision," the "inclusive payment provision" and the "failsafe provision." The motion judge held that because the inclusive payment provision was placed between the options provision and the failsafe provision, it only applied to the options provision.
Dismissing the motion, she held that the termination clause was ambiguous because it did not clearly set out an intention to deprive Amberber of his entitlement to damages at common law.
This decision confirms that a termination clause must be read as a whole, rather than being broken up into individual parts to assess its meaning. It also confirms that a failsafe provision will be effective in saving a clause that might otherwise breach the applicable legislation.
In the ongoing judicial saga of termination clause interpretation, this decision should be welcomed by employers seeking clarity.

Animals That Don't Have a Male for Reproduction
By Simon Foden
It is extremely rare for complex organisms to evolve into an all-female species, but it can happen. For some species, the involvement of males in the reproductive process is entirely optional. While the males may exist, they are not essential to reproduction. Lots of animals can reproduce without male involvement, from the smallest insects to the biggest reptiles. Asexual reproduction comes in many forms too, from basic cell reproduction to complex cloning cycles.
Self-Fertilizing Sharks
Virgin female hammerhead and blacktip sharks have both been documented as producing young, much to the surprise of the scientific community. Little is known about the process by which these sharks are able to reproduce, but an emerging consensus suggests that sharks are evolving to use parthenogenesis, a process in which female eggs self-fertilize, when populations dip. In both recorded cases, no males were present when the captive female sharks became pregnant.
Budding for Babies
Jellyfish, sea anemones and flatworms all use a process called budding to reproduce. This complex process of reproduction, most commonly associated with strawberries, sees the parent produce cloned cells of itself, which eventually break away and grow into exact replicas of that parent. However, females who use budding as a means of reproduction are also capable of sexual reproduction.
Self-Sexing Insects
Greenflies, stick insects, aphids, water fleas, scorpions, termites and honey bees are all capable of reproducing without males, using parthenogenesis. In the case of the honey bee, the use of parthenogenesis has evolutionary benefits, as they elect to use parthenogenesis when the local population requires more workers, or more queens.
Immaculate Reptile Conception
The boa constrictor, monitor lizard and Komodo dragon are both capable of becoming pregnant without male fertilization, by parthenogenesis. This form of reproduction is not the preferred method and has evolutionary disadvantages for the species, as it constitutes a form of inbreeding that reduces genetic diversity. Whiptail lizards however, have evolved to a point where no males exist. This all-girl species relies entirely on parthenogenesis.
Advanced Avian Parthenogenesis
Chickens and turkeys can use parthenogenesis to fertilize their eggs. However, unlike reptiles, avian parthenogenesis has evolutionary benefits. It is most typically observed in younger hens, who have lower levels of age-related genetic damage and can therefore produce more viable young. Birds also produce nonidentical replicas, so genetic diversity is wider in populations conceived by parthenogenesis.

'10 to Track' soccer matches for Saturday (9/22) – NWSL championship leads the way!
So what IS Noob? I am Noob. This site is Noob. Most importantly, Noob is of two main facets:
Bringing Noobites the ten most important matches to follow, from the perspective the (well, a) newish American fan of the global game.
Noob also fancies himself to be the Sunday comics section to the rest of the more mainstream, serious soccer sites out there. Even if it's closer to just old Farside than any other strips.
Now, feast on a kick-ass slate of matches today!
Portland Thorns vs. North Carolina Courage – National Women's Soccer League
American women's soccer fans, the Final you deserve is here. Regular season #B hosts #1! Some places might have NC listed first as the top seed, but they're playing it in Portland because of Florence.
Portland's Lindsey Horen was just announced as league's Player of the Year, having finished 3rd in scoring. NC's Lynn Williams was runner-up in that category. Both also sport top-notch attacking passers.
Noob thinks the difference-maker for Portland will have to be secondary scorer Christine Sinclair. Two goals with one being by her and the Thorns will hoist the trophy. Otherwise, the one-loss superpower Courage win. (4:30 PM EST, Lifetime)
RESULT: Courage 0-3 Hail to the victors! Jessica McDonald with a pair of scores.
B. Atlanta United vs. Real Salt Lake – Major League Soccer
League-leaders in putting points on the board, Atlanta look to extend their four-point lead in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, RSL lead the Noob in riling me UP.
Original owner Dave Ricketts decided when the club was formed to tie into a club that doesn't suck (Real Madrid). Never mind that Madrid get to be royal because of a king's patronage. Rickett's is a JetBlue board member, which is anything but monarchal in the corporate world.
Oh yeah, and they're 5th in the West. It's a good matchup. But RSL needs to lose for Noob's belief in an omni-benevolent god in the universe to be confirmed. (7:00 PM, ESPN+)
RESULT: ATL 2-0
Number B – straightening Noob out on the whole omni-benevolent God-matter.
Montreal Impact vs. NYCFC – Major League Soccer
Noob's been writing of late that Montreal have been recently and surprisingly frisky. Turns out, they made their big move in June and early July. We live, we learn, Noobites. They're in 6th, and top eight will make the Playoffs.
NYCFC are somehow still in 3rd, despite not having won a match in five weeks. They're in no danger of dropping out of the playoffs this late in the regular season. But it's looking like they need some kind of shock to the system to get them moving back up toward a top-two seed. That wold mean multiple postseason home matches. (7:30 PM, ESPN+)
Manchester United vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers – English Premier League
No two teams from the table's top are battling today in the PL, but we do get a match with two teams in strange positions.
Man Utd. have won three in a row, though that only pulls them up into 8th place. And those victories were over two bad league teams and an overmatched Swiss side in the Champions League.
Wolverhampton have also had three wins a row, also over weaker competition (two poor PL sides and a second-division team in the EFL Cup). They didn't allow a goal to any of them, either.
All considered, it's about impossible to not consider the evergreen powerhouse that is Man U the favorites. Wolverhampton have seen some early success after having been Promoted, but they have to score more than a single goal per match to keep it up.
RESULT: 1-1 Or maybe one per game can keep you afloat! On a side note, Man Utd's goal was scored by "Fred". Yup. Just Fred.
Feel about it how you will, Wolvers, Noob calls it as seen.
Toluca vs. Necaxa – Liga MX
Another league dear to our hearts that isn't featuring a 1-B matchup or anything close. But we have what I have called a "Hiccup Watch".
Toluca is 5th here in the Apertura (first half-season). Top eight make the Playoffs. By table position, Necaxa should be toast on the road.
Thing is, they haven't lost to Toluca in many consecutive matches. Noob's not convinced Toluca an avoid having a Hiccup tonight. Momentum, inertia – powerful forces. (6:00 PM, ESPN Deportes)
RESULT: Toluca 3-2
Schalke 04 vs. Bayern Munich – Germany Bundesliga
Last year's #B and #1 face off! The exclamation point could be overkill in a way, though.
Schalke have lost all three of its matches to start the new league year. More, none of those opponents were teams that finished anywhere near the top in 2017-18. Noob's not ready to call their 1-1 Champions League home draw against Portugal's FC Porto a sign that everything is turned around now.
Bayern are 3-0-0, doing Bayern-y things to all. (12:30 PM, FS2)
RESULT: Bayern 0-2
Ummmm…
Isn't anything we do Bayern-y by definition?
Can we do otherwise?
Al Ahly vs. Horoya AC – CAF Champions League
Not long ago, Noob Tracked the first match of this two-legged Quarterfinal. Africa's greatest team went to Guinean Horoya and only got a 0-0 draw. By ELO ratings, this is a team the Egyptians should utterly wreck, no matter whose pitch their playing on.
Still, now they get to take care of business at home. Perhaps they won't assume Horoya will just lay down for them this leg.
RESULT: Al -Ahly 4-0
Pittsburgh Riverhounds vs. Indy Eleven – United Soccer League
Noob tends to shy away a little from second division leagues on weekends, even Amuricuh's. Just sooo much D1 football here and the world over.
But "an opening" was created when one of the teams in a Nadeshiko 1 match I'd pre-listed dropped too far in the standings to meet Noob's exacting criteria. Match 8 was going to be three-time defending champion NTV Beleza hosting Noob-fave Urawa Red Diamond Ladies. Alas, Urawa has slipped to midtable.
RESULT: Pitt 3-2
I got the word, Noob!
Urawa's #1 U.S. supporter and unofficial spokesman mascot is back once again.
<— Where the sushi goes.
Sorry, The Situation. I know you were excited. Don't worry, you'll still get your appearance fee.
I'd better! I'm still waiting for them all from last season.
Check, er, checks are in the mail, The Situation.
Aaaaanyway, Pitt and Indy are 3rd and 5th-place in the USL Eastern Conference. Top eight make the Playoffs. Top four get home-pitch advantage to start out.
Riverhounds are the class of the entire league, defensively. Thankfully, not just by taking the air out of the ball, they score more than a little. Indy are more balanced, but seem like they've peaked in what they can achieve. Their D is just mediocre.
Coleraine vs. Linfield – Northern Ireland Football League Premier
It's merely semi-pro ball, one of Europe's lower-ranked leagues. But Western Europe is always on Noob's radar. These are two perennial powers, #1 and #3 in the early season-table. They're also the only two who haven't yet lost.
RESULT: 0-0 That's one boring way to make sure you each stay undefeated.
# Honorable Mention: At odds with Noob's desire to keep things mostly D1 on weekends is my utter inability to stay away from shiny 1-B matchups. So before we wrap up, Noob sends the hippest of shouts out (shout outs?) to Ross County and Inverness of Scotland's second-tier Championship League, #B and #1 there. Go fight win!
Hiroshima vs. FC Tokyo – Japan J1 League
Hiroshima looked ready to run away with the league title not too far back. And while they haven't played poorly the last month, they've scuffled just enough to give hope to more traditionally great Kawasaki. They're better on both sides of the ball than #3 FCT.
But a loss – hardly unthinkable – and that Kawasaki group could pull to within a point of the league lead.
So long from Hiroshima!

'10 to Track' soccer matches for Saturday (9/15) – the most footyball ever covered on Noob
"The ten most important matches to follow, for us – the newish American fans of the global game". Oh ho, Noob's cheating today.
The list of the previews-proper are still ten But we're directly acknowledging three times as many Track-worthy matches today!
Gorge, Noobites. Feeeast!!
Portland Thorns vs. Seattle Reign – National Women's Soccer League Playoffs
At last, the postseason! These are the #B and #3 seeds of the four teams participating.
In their last match of the regular season, Portland beat Seattle to secure their runner-up status. Their reward is getting to host today's one-off. There will be no return trip to Seattle. The other two times they met in 2018, the matches were in Seattle, which won them both.
Portland is the more offensively-minded group by far, will look to push the pace hard. The most likely names to see pairing up for scores are Lindsey Horan and Tobin Heath, second and first in league goals and assists, respectively.
For Seattle, their defensive player of the year Rebekah Scott will have her hands full. She plays outside back, a position from which she can often feed their offensive threat, Megan Rapinoe. Noob's not sure she'll be anything but pinned back on defense today though. (3:00 PM EST, Lifetime)
RESULT: Portland 2-1 Horan and Heath each scored.
B. FC Dallas vs. Columbus Crew – Major League Soccer
This is just one of three Track-worthy MLS matches on the day. Noob's highlighting this one for a couple reasons.
First – Dallas are still #1 in the Western Conference, having wrested the spot away from Kansas City midseason. Surprising – their play has been incredibly spotty. They just had a nice home win over rivals Houston last match, yet have lost twice to San Jose since August. (The 'Quakes can't beat almost anyone else. Ever.) The offense and defense both come and go.
Second – how much longer will Noob get to type "Columbus Crew" without it being an historical reference? Their ownership moving them to Austin is hardly a done deal, but it remains a likelihood.
As for their current season, they're #4 in the East with plenty of table-space above and below. They just got a big confidence boost taking down #3 NYCFC. Noob wonders if they might night find today's a trap game of sorts. (8:00 PM, ESPN+)
Other MLS matches: *Philadelphia Union vs. Montreal Impact – The East's #5 and #6 fight to stay there, the conference's final playoff spots; *Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Seattle Sounders – the West's #6 and #7, separated by one little point in the table. Seattle have won eight straight.
Yes, Number B. You got to feature three matches.
And so three of you. Well-done.
CF America vs. Monarcas Morelia – Liga MX
It warms the cockles of a Noob-heart to see Morelia struggling. While I feel far more strongly anti-royalty with American-named clubs than Mexico, there's still no kings and queens in N.A. Foolishness! Go, CFA!
Club America are in a four-way tie for 3rd place at nearly the halfway point here in the Apertura (first half-season). They're the strongest of them, too, in goal differential and INHO. They'd been struggling a touch, but a trip to lowly Lobos BUAP was just what was needed last match (0-2 win).
Morelia hasn't won in a month. Their defense makes the sad. (8:00 PM, Univision)
Other Mexican matches of note: *Pumas UNAM vs. Tijuana — in Liga MX Femenil, Pumas are #4 in their Group. Top two from each will make the playoffs. They're in the mix, but the least of the best there. Tijuana are in 6th; Zacatecas vs. Atlante – second-division Ascenso MX #1 and #3.
RESULT: CF America 2-1
Credit to Dan – the former Intern-o Inferno – for showing us just how lowly BUAP truly is.
Tottenham Sir Topham Hatt Hotspur vs. Liverpool – English Premier League
Last year's #3 and #4 face off.
Liverpool have won all four of their early matches this season, though the toughest team they've faced is probably Leicester (meh). Hotspur thrashed Man Utd – on the road, no less – then turned right around and threw it away with a loss to Watford. They're both likely to be in the title chase for a while, contend for top-four finishes, Champions League berths.
Since it's a new season, allow Noob to explain to less-tenured Noobites about the strikethrough. Tottenham Hotspur is named for Harry "Hotspur" Percy. He was an historic traitor, flipflopping multiple times with his loyalties. He was a scalawag and ne'er-do-well and Noob will carry no truck with such!
Good thing that didn't get weird at the end… (7:30 AM, NBCSN)\
RESULT: Liverpool 1-2
Shewsbury – the site of Percy's death by arrow – is hallowed ground
1 de Agosto vs. TP Mazembe – CAF Champions League
This is the first leg of a Quarterfinal tie.
Angola's representative host first. Their domestic league is on the rise, looks to jump from 17th to a top-10 spot in the African rankings next year. TP Mazembe plays out of DR Congo's top league, #3-best in Africa. 1dG would be doing well to get a draw at home. To have a chance at advancing, they'll have to.
Today's other QF: Esperance vs. Etoile du Sahel – Tunisia's two best clubs face off. They don't keep them apart in the draws there I guess. They're both a lot better than the two featured teams above.
FC Olexandria vs. Shakhtar Donetsk – Ukraine Premier
Ukraine's top flight have climbed to #8 among domestic league in Europe. Noobites should know something about this bunch. We feature matches from their frequently.
And so, welcome to the Track, FCO! Almost 100% sure this is the first time they've been featured. They were mid-table all last season. Seven matches into 2018-19, they're #B. But the current and historic #1 comes to town today to test their mettle. Shakhtar average 2.5 goals a match, roughly.
Other top #1-#B UEFA matchups: *Slovan Bratislava vs. Dunajska Streda — #1 hosts #B in what should be a shootout in Slovakia's Super Liga; Ferencvaros vs. Budapest Honved — #1 hosts #B in the Hungarian NB 1. Honved will try and slow down the only team in the league averaging over two goals per match.
RESULT: Donetsk 0-2
No, FC Olexandria – Noob applauds YOU for being Track-worthy
Stjarnan vs. Breioablik – Iceland FA Cup
Their league might not be even as highly-rated as the honorable mentions in Track match #6, but Noob's always down for a Cup Final!
A question plaguing Noob is: how much do these clubs care about the FA Cup? It can be legitimately asked anywhere, at least by those of us who are truly noob. Nowhere have I heard or read thy're considered anything but a moderate to distant second in importance to the league title.
It's especially relevant here, as Iceland's Urvalsdeild league gets only one Champions League invite and these two are #B and #3. Stjarnan, in fact, is just a point behind league-leaders Valur. Will they play all starters in pursuit of this trophy, or save energy for the home stretch of their league season?
Today's championship match is at the National Stadium in Reykjavik. If they're both playing full strength, Stjarnan have to be considered at last a 3:2 fave to win in regulation.
RESULT: Stjarnan 0-0 / 4-1 pens
Santa Gema vs. Independiente – Panama Football League
Noob's been making a concerted effort here during the second year of this site to pay greater attention to all CONCACAF leagues. And #1-#B matches shine like the sun. This is one!
If the current pattern holds, this league is going to have one heckuva title race in 2018-19. They're just a few matches in, but good golly these teams end their matches in lots of draws! Noob's not sure if the league as a whole lacks offensive talent or if the general strategy employed there is defense. Either way, they don't see a ton of goals.
Saint Gema are the only undefeated team remaining, but have won just four of seven. Independiente trail them by three points in the table.
RESULT: Independiente 0-2 And we have a new #1!
The other #1-#B CONCACAF matchup: *Fruta Conquerors vs. Guyana Defense Force – Guyana's GFF Elite League – The Conquerors have an outrageous 48-5 GD. Still, halfway through the season, they lead GDF by just five in the table.
Noob just said CONCACAF leagues are getting more attention here.
Warning unwarranted.
Kawasaki Frontale vs. Consadole Sapporo – Japan J1 League
The defending champs from Kawasaki are #B now, 2/3 of the way through the 2018 season. Even so, they're way off Hiroshima's pace.
Sapporo were below mid-table last year, have improved mightily to be the current #4. Last season, that would've been good enough to get them into the AFC Champions League. Not this year. Just the top three now.
Noob's uncertain if the AFC is distributing more bids to lower-ranked countries' leagues now, or if J1 League lost a slot due to a drop in confederation ranking. Regardless, Sapporo need to play far better defense if they want to be in any postseason discussion.
RESULT: Kawasaki 7-0 not a typo
Before we hit #10, Noob's including some Honorable Mention matches. Every one one of them involves two teams in the top quarter (or top three) of their leagues (at least as of five days ago), or there are specific playoff implications:
*USL – conference #2 Pittsburgh Riverhounds vs. #4 Louisville FC, plus #6 Swope Park Rangers vs. #9 Saint Louis FC; Poland Ekstraklasa — Wisla Krakow vs. Lechia Gdansik was a #1 vs. #B when scouted a few days ago, but two teams which have played an extra match leapfrogged W.K.; English Football Championship — #6 Bristol City and #3 Sheffield United would be in the second-divisions Promotion playoff tournament were the season over today.
Belgium First Division A — #B Genk vs. #3 Anderlecht; Norway Eliteserien – #B FK Haugesund vs. #3 Brann; Belarus Premier – #4 Shakhtyor Soligorsk vs. #3 Dinamo Minsk; Slovenia Prva Liga — #B Aluminij vs. #3 Gorica; Uruguay Primera – #B Nacional vs. #3 Montevideo Wanderers; two other Cup tournaments in early action include Portugal's Taca de Liga and the Swiss FA Cup.
Maldives vs. India – SAFF Championship
The Final!
Asia's continental football confederation also has several sub-associations. The South Asian Football Federation holds a Championship every other year. It's a standalone event for the current seven member nations, meaning it has no effect on qualifying for any other tournaments.
These are national teams that just aren't going to see much of any success in most any other field of play. Three of the seven are in the bottom ten in all Asia. Two are the very bottom. Our Finalists are the most-highly ranked in the world, just #150 and #96. India would be even better, but. You know. Cricket.
RESULT: Maldives 2-1 Upset city!
They've been hosting this tournament Dhaka, Blangadesh.
Come back, Bear Grylls!

'10 to Track' soccer matches for Saturday (5/12) – MLS, top UEFA league's drama, and more FA Cup Finals!
The ten most important matches for us – the newish American fans of the global game – brook no nonsense (ok, maybe a little nonsense…) on the weekends. There's hardware to be passed out today, so let's dive in.
Columbus Crew vs. Chicago Fire – MLS
Noob originally had Dallas and LA Galaxy for the top game today, but it's a save over the crossbar! Correct best game identified.
Columbus are #4 in the Eastern Conference, have seemingly righted their ship. They lost three straight matches before this unbeaten streak of four. Chicago are having trouble on offense. Four assists out of their aged Euro-star Bastian Schweinsteiger isn't bad, but he's stuck on one goal for the season. (7:30 PM Eastern, NBA League Pass 6)
Noobstradamus Sees: Columbus 1-0 on an early goal. Columbus doesn't score much, either, but they're tied for the conference lead in goal defense.
RESULT: Columbus 3-0
Do you have a question, Bastian? Noob's spot-on.
B. Portland Thorns vs. Orlando Pride – NWSL
Orlando have won four in a row! That's pushed them to 5th place, but Noob thinks the soccer gods are lulling them into a false sense of accomplishment. (3:30 PM, Lifetime)
Noobstradamus Sees: …#4 Portland repeating their 2-1 home win from earlier this season versus the Pride. Down with cities built on swamps!
RESULT: Orlando 1-2
Number B – menacing with a thorny look
Middlesbrough vs. Aston Villa – English Championship
The battle is on to determine which of the #3-6 clubs will get the third and final Promotion into Premier League for next season! This is the first leg of a semifinal between, as you might imagine, two very even sides.
Noobstrdamus Sees: 1-1. Saving the real drama for the return leg at Aston Villa.
RESULT: Aston Villa 0-1
1899 Hoffenheim vs. Borussia Dortmund – Bundesliga
This is the last weekend of matches in Germany! Reminder: Four Champions League berths for this league.
#3 Dortmund are all but guaranteed one now, as they lead #4's Hoffenheim and Leverkusen by three points each. Might explain why they lost to lowly Mainz at home last match.
Hoffenheim is hoping their hosts today will be sleeping again. Leverkusen play at home against also-ran Hannover today. (9:30 AM, KTBC)
Noobstradamus Sees: Hoffenheim 2-0, leaving Leverkusen having to utterly blowout Hannover to pass them.
RESULT: Hoffenheim 3-1
He's even in a yellow BVB jersey, see?
AS Monaco vs. St. Etienne – Ligue 1
Monaco are tied for 3rd place and the final CL slot for France. But they've got this and one more match to play, whereas their peer Marseille are down to just one.
St. Etienne may be #6 and fighting to hold onto their Europa League slot, but there's a massive gulf in ability between the league's top four and everyone else. (3:00 PM, TV5MONDE)
Noobstradamus Sees: …Monaco leaving nothing to chance. 5-1.
Inter Milan vs. Sassuolo – Serie A
With two matches to go in Italy, it's Inter who are losing the game of musical chairs. They're in 5th, two points out of 4th and the final CL spot. They have a possibly sneaky-tough matchup today as #12 Sassuolo have only lost once since mid-March.
Noobstradamus Sees: …that the competition Sassy-pants have been playing of late is decidedly not the league's strongest. Inter 3-0.
RESULT: Sassuolo 1-2
Snausages!
Noob neither has nor needs any reason.
Galatasaray vs. Yeni Malatyaspor – Turkey Super Lig
Hiccup Watch game. Y.M. are 10th place, should be fodder for tied-for-1st Galatasaray.
Noobstradamus Sees: …Galatasaray – who have two matches left to just one for co-#1 Istanbul Basaksehir – not giving up that advantage. 4-1.
RESULT: Galatasaray 2-0
AEK Athens vs. PAOK – Greek Cup
The Final! Athens get to host, no neutral site business here. And it's the league #1 vs. #B, as is good, right, and proper. (1:30 PM, Antenna 20 Years)
Noobstradamus Sees: Massive fires in Athens, a couple of maimings… it's Greece! Oh, and PAOK gets the upset, 1-1, then taking it in PK's. So make that several maimings.
RESULT: PAOK 0-2
Hold up. Did someone say snausages? Yummaaaay.
HJK vs. FC Inter – Finnish Cup
Another Final! This one shouldn't be dramatic, truth be told. HJK Helsinki are the league defending champions. FC Inter are a bottom-half club who achieved nicely by getting to this match.
Noobstradamus Sees: HJK 11-1.
Sporting Cristal vs. Huancayo – Peru Premier
Let's end the Track with one more Final! This is the championship for the Verano (first of three regular season stages). Cristal earned a 1-1 draw on the first leg of this two-match tie. They are likely considered a full goal-better than Huancayo on their own pitch. (9:30 PM, Peru Magico)
Noobstrdamus Sees: …that funny things happen in footyball! 2-2 today, then the visitors take the title in penalty kicks.
RESULT: Cristal 1-0 chamPEENS!
So long from Peru– from Noob and controversial Peruvian TV character "Peasant Jacinta"!

'10 to Track' soccer matches for Saturday (4/21) – MLS, UEFA leagues, bad Zlatan-wear
The ten most important matches for us, the newish American fans. Things go from important to absolutely paramount in Europe when the seasons are hitting their climaxes.
Before we get to those – 'Muricuh!
L.A. Galaxy vs. Atlanta United – MLS
What a different a year can make! The talk if the league is the Galaxy's signing of international megastar striker Zlatan Ibrahimovich, but it's actually their defense that has that #B in the West.
Atlanta United will test that defense. They're #3 in the tougher Eastern Conference. The game kicks off 9:00 PM Eastern on NBA League Pass 6.
Now that he's in L.A., I guess he can stop wearing crazy lady's gift sweater.
B. Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution – MLS
Your Major League Soccer undercard pits the #4 team in the East against #3. The Revs have improved their defense after missing the playoffs last season. They'd been on quite a roll until getting skunked at home by Dallas.
Columbus have been skunkier though, not scoring in consecutive matches and losing three straight. But they've been creating chances, getting a little unlikely hitting wood repeatedly. Noob strongly feels the Crew will right their ship today. (7:30 PM, NBA League Pass 7)
Number B, about to learn a hard lesson about skunkiness.
North Carolina Courage vs. Utah Royals – NWSL
The good news for expansion Utah – they've only allowed two goals in three matches. The bad news – they've only scored once. The worse news – they travel to defending regular season champions Courage today. (3:30 PM, Lifetime)
Necaxa vs. UANL Tigres – Liga MX
Tigres are tied for 3rd with just three Clausura (second half-season) matches to go, but they have yet to secure a top-eight, postseason Liguilla spot. Tigres are part of a three-way tie for 9th place, just a point shy of 8th.
Neither team gives up many goals. If you like defense, this one is available to ogle at 10:00 PM on ESPN Deportes.
The Mexican Hornet Defense.
Really, it's called that.
Manchester United vs. Tottenham Sir Topham Hatt Hotspur – FA Cup
Noob-reviled, traitorously-named Hotspur face off against Man Utd in the Semifunal, at Wembley (neutral). Man U's slight edge on defense should make them a winner today. (12:15 PM, Fox Deportes)
RESULT: Man U 2-1
Barcelona vs. Sevilla – Copa del Rey
It's the Final! Sevilla have had a tremendous run in Spain's FA Cup, especially given that they're only in 7th in La Liga. That run ends today in Madrid, and won't end well for them. Barcelona have yet to lose a league match all year. Barca by two feels right. (3:30 PM, ESPNEWS)
RESULT: Barca 5-0
RB Leipzig vs. 1899 Hoffenheim – Bundesliga
With four matches to go, that is also the number of points by which Leipzig trail 4th place Borussia Dortmund for the league's last Champions League invite. Hoffenheim (and Frankfurt) in turn only trail Leipzig by a point.
Leipzig are hardly falling apart, but Hoffenheim are peaking at the perfect time. They've not lost in seven straight matches. If they can push the ball today, a pivotal road win should be in their grasp. (9:30 AM, Fox Soccer Plus)
RESULT: Hoffenheim 2-5 Hoffenheim move into 5th
SPAL 2013 vs. AS Roma – Serie A
Roma, Lazio, and Inter – one's not going to Champions League. The race for the last two of the four CL slot Italy is tight and then some. Roma and Lazio are tied, with Inter lurking just a point behind.
SPAL are only one slot above the Relegation Zone, so they are not without a reason to fight. They can't score in general, and they're unlikely to against defensive juggernaut Roma. (9:00 AM, beIN Sports)
RESULT: Roma 0-3
Meaning? No clue.
Terrified? You betcha.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Vorskla – Ukraine Premier
This the #8 league in Europe, a real rising power, getting two CL berths this year. They've replaced Poland as Noob's under-the-radar league to watch.
Shakhtar are the goal-scoring giant here. Vorskla are in 3rd, and have overachieved in getting there. They won't score today, get run roughshod over.
RESULT: S.D. 4-2
Phoenix Rising vs. Swope Park Rangers – USL
Noob loves him some second-tier footyball. On the weekend, though, usually their matches give way to top-flight leagues. I'd scouted a sweet UAE match with which to finish today's Track, but Al Nasr has since fallen out of the top quarter of their league table. Denied!
These both made the playoffs last year. Just a handful of games into this season, they're in position again. That said, Rangers appear to have fallen off defensively. A lot. Noobstradamus says Phoenix's offensive will finally break out, net them a 3-1 win today.
Phoenix Rising are about to get hot. But it'll be a dry heat.

Q: How to enable back and forward buttons when using history.pushState functionality? I have use the following code to update a seccion in a WebSite. I decided to implement the window.history.pushState functionality. Apparently it is working properly but if I press the back button the address bar will be updated with the correct value but the navegator does not update the page's content.
How can I enable the proper back a forward functionality of the web browser when using pushState?
  ajaxPost("/URLSite", idData, function (data) { //Success
         div.innerHTML = data.Html;
             if (data.Url.length > 0 && window.history.pushState)
                 window.history.pushState({ "html": data.Html, "pageTitle": ' my site: ' + data.Url }, '', '/' + data.Url);

         }, function (cod, Error) { //Error
            var lblMsj = document.getElementById("lblMsj");
             lblMsj.innerHTML ="
 " +  Error + "
";
         },null);

A: @SLaks is right.  I reviewed some documentation about onpopState and the following code solved the problem.
window.onpopstate = function (event) {
     if (event.state)
     {
        var divMain = document.getElementById("divMain");
        divMain.innerHTML = event.state.html;
        document.title = event.state.pageTitle;
     }
}


If you've visited 2nd Chance, you know that we offer gently used furniture, household and garden goods, wall art, books, pet supplies, clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, and more at great prices. We are constantly thankful for and amazed at the wonderful donations we receive and can offer to our customers. Just the other day, one of our regular customers was marveling at the variety and quality of our merchandise and said, "I can't believe how much great stuff you have…" We agree.
However, as we celebrate our 3rd anniversary this October, we realized there may be a few things that even our regular customers may not know about the shop.
For almost three years now, your donations, purchases, and assistance at the thrift shop have supported the care and adoption of animals at the Upland Animal Shelter who need their second chance. But, did you know that Friends of Upland Animal Shelter operates the Upland Animal Shelter on behalf of the City? We handle the care and adoption of the animals in the shelter. Our shelter staff and countless volunteers work in conjunction with the City's three Animal Control Officers who provide field services.
Your support of 2nd Chance Thrift Shop is so important because Friends does not receive any monetary compensation from the City of Upland to operate the shelter. That's right. No compensation. None. Instead, proceeds from the thrift shop along with our low-cost adoption fees, supports our shelter operation. When the City was facing severe financial challenges a few years ago, we gladly stepped up to help. Friends had spent years assisting the City and was in a good position to assume responsibility for operating the shelter.
This partnership saves the City several hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. So, when you shop, donate, or volunteer at 2nd Chance Thrift Shop, you are not only helping to save shelter pets and find them forever homes, you are helping an entire community of people and pets.
We have a small, dedicated thrift shop staff who greatly appreciate the assistance of all our volunteers. In fact, we could not operate the shop without their help. In appreciation of their dedication, all of our volunteers who work at least 6 hours a week and 24 hours a month are eligible for a 20% discount on everything we have in the store. Plus, we offer soda and snacks and the occasional potluck to further entice them.
We always welcome new volunteers and work with you to arrange a schedule that fits your needs and lifestyle. We need both general help and help with specific categories of merchandise. If you are interested in volunteering, just stop by the store and ask for the manager on duty. We'll get you started right away.
We have great prices all the time. But, every month, merchandise that has been in the shop for a while goes on clearance.
For example, October is our "Yellow Tag" sale month. All items marked with a yellow price sticker are 50% off for the first 2 weeks of the month and 75% off the second half of the month. You'll see signs in the store that let you know what color tag is on sale.
We are very fortunate to receive so many donations from so many generous donors. The vast majority of these donations are placed on our sales floor. However, to ensure we are able to receive the most value from some of the collectible and specialty items, we post them on our Ebay store called, "2nd Chance Thrift Shop Online." Click here to go to the portal to our Ebay store on our 2nd Chance Thrift Shop web page. If you see anything you like, we offer in-store pick up on all our Ebay items.
We accept donations at the shop daily (except on Tuesdays) from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. However, if you have furniture or other large items to donate and can't bring them to the shop, we will come to you. To arrange a pick-up, send an e-mail with a photo of your item.
We can also help you get your furniture purchase home. For only $25, we will do a local delivery so you don't have to forego getting your new-to-you-treasure if you don't have your own truck.
When you adopt an animal from Friends of Upland Animal Shelter, you'll receive a $10 gift certificate for ANYTHING in the shop, including pet supplies.
Plus, we LOVE visits from your new four-legged friends and any other well-mannered pets on leash. We may even offer them a treat and ask if we can post their photos on the shop's Facebook page. After all, it's what we are all about.

Drugs Keep Washing up on Indian Shores
On Friday, June 19, fishermen in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu spotted a floating drum off the coast of Mamallapuram.
They alerted police, who found 78 kilograms of crystal meth inside when the drum was brought onshore.
The shipment of methamphetamine in its crystallised form was concealed under Chinese tea brand labels, presumably to be passed off as a consignment of tea.
According to authorities from the Narcotics Intelligence Bureau Crime Investigation Department (NIB-CID), one kilogram of crystal meth can go for over INR 30 million ($394,500) in the international drug market.
What's fishy about this incident is that it wasn't isolated: drugs keep washing up on Indian shores, leaving law enforcement wondering where they come from.
Another similar incident occurred two days later on June 21 in Kutch district of the Western state of Gujarat. A few bundles of hash – a form of marijuana made from the resins of the cannabis plant often called charas in India – washed up on the Jakhau shores on the Kutch coast, and were intercepted by patrolling officers. Police counted 183 packets of the drug, but have not yet managed to trace its source. Experts say these packets have an estimated value of INR 20 million (about $262,995) in the Indian market.
Exactly a month ago, on May 20, marine patrollers found a similar shipment of hash abandoned on the Shekhran Peer island on the Kutch coast, a move that was seen by police as possible infiltration from Pakistan.
Gujarat is frequently used as a sea smuggling route to peddle drugs – from Pakistan and Afghanistan – to North Indian states like Punjab where there is a high demand for them. This is often done by covering up the illegal substances with innovations that include concealing heroin as cumin seeds. Underground channels like riverines, pipes and tunnels are often used to bypass barriers.
Three weeks ago, Tamil Nadu's Ramanathapuram police seized 11.4 kilograms of drugs including meth, ecstasy, heroin and opium that was being smuggled into Sri Lanka.
A paper published by India's Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, a think tank for border security and international relations, stressed that India's geographical location makes it particularly vulnerable to drug smuggling since the country is flanked by the Golden Crescent and the Golden Triangle.
The Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle are names given to two of the largest opium-producing regions of the world: the former is the grouping of opium-rich nations like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, while the Golden Triangle is the area between the intersection of the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar.
A 2018 annual report by the United Nations-backed International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) also states that India is a hub for the illicit trade of drugs, with cannabis being the highest-seized substance in South Asia.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, border security forces in some drug smuggling corridors of India have reported a fall in the supply of drugs, which has consequently driven up their demand and prices.
According to India's Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS), trafficking drugs in commercial quantities is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of more than INR 200,000 (about $2,639), with a repeated offence even attracting a death penalty.

There are, however, people like me who are struggling to get a place of their own, barely able to afford private rented and is not allowed to get social housing. With medical issues and problems within this estate and yet I get screwed over. Now I am stuck in a living situation which is detrimental to my wellbeing and I am not allowed help.
I am now stuck having to go through crowdfunding in the hopes that I will be able to get anything to help me, even if it is just enough to put into savings to help me.


Patti Bleicher is the co-founder of Gallery Loupe, a gallery for contemporary art jewelry that represents the work of innovative contemporary studio artists. Patti and business partner Eileen David opened Gallery Loupe in 2006. The gallery focuses on established and emerging artists from the U.S. and abroad, and offers the opportunity to see and experience the most experimental and provocative jewelry being created today.
Gallery Loupe presents an expansive view of what jewelry can be through the use of non-traditional materials and challenging approaches. The gallery's program of exhibitions and artist conversations offers the chance to explore and understand this important art form.
Why "art jewelry" and "contemporary jewelry" are interchangeable terms.
What qualities Patti looks for when introducing work from a new artist to Gallery Loupe.
What defines a jewelry "collector" and how collectors help fuel a more artistic appreciation of jewelry.
Why variety and inclusivity are the keys to expanding the field of jewelry-as-art and growing the audience.
Why interactivity and the ability to handle and try on jewelry has been instrumental for Gallery Loupe in lowering the "intimidation" of art jewelry.


Athabascan beadwork – and a willow root basket – will soon become sidewalk art outside the Morris Thompson Center. Inspired by designs from Athabascan master artists from all over Interior Alaska, the artwork was digitized, enlarged, and translated into glass tile mosaics that are being prepped for installation later this month. Belarde Company out of Seattle, WA provides a patented process, Lithocrete, which allows for the seeding of small glass tiles in concrete. "The color palette is vibrant enough to do justice to these incredible beadwork designs," said Cultural Program Director Dixie Alexander. "They look beautiful!" The completed sidewalk mosaics will be 8 ft to 14 ft in diameter.
The Antler Arch Web Cam made it easy to involve her family in Texas on short notice. She called and told them to check out the website, but didn't tell them why. "They were all surprised and happy to be able to watch us get married on the 'Antler Cam' – and the tourists loved it!" said Romano.
If you want to coordinate your own special moment under the arch, tell your family and friends around the world to go to www.morristhompsoncenter.org and click on the Antler Arch link.
Beginning June 1st, visitors to the Center will be able to dress their entire family in these beautiful creations and take home a family portrait on CD. $65 per family for a 15-minute portrait session.
More than 250 family and friends of the late Bishop William Gordon gathered in October 2010 to dedicate the plane and exhibit installed in his honor. They sang hymns in Inupiat and Athabascan dialects, laughed, and shared warm memories with the Bishop's wife Shirley and their children Bill, Paneen, and Anna who were all on hand for the dedication.
Bishop Gordon arrived in Alaska in 1943. During his 30 years of service, the Bishop logged hundreds of thousands of air miles ministering to congregations throughout the state. The sound of his plane buzzing a community became a frequent and welcome greeting. "We weren't excited about church, we were excited about donuts," joked the Rev. Anna Frank.
"He loved his work and the people he met along the way," said his wife Shirley. "And he was loved in return." We hope the sight of the Bishop's plane hanging in our lobby reminds those who visit the Center to celebrate and strengthen the ties that bind Alaska's diverse people.
A special Friends of the Flying Bishop plaque will list the names of businesses and individuals who make a donation to the Center in honor of the Bishop. For more information, call 907.459.3701 or email info@morristhompsoncenter.org.
Morris' family and friends gathered at an AFN reception in October 2010 to see the unveiling of a portrait of the Center's namesake. Athabascan artist James Grant, Sr., a nephew of Thompson's started the oil on canvas portrait in 2008. The 5 ft. by 4 ft. oil on canvas painting was nearly complete when Grant died of cancer in April 2010. The portrait was completed by Yupik artist Moses "Uksuq" Wassilie, a favorite artist of Thompson who had also painted a portrait of Morris' wife Thelma.
Completion of the hand-carved cedar frame also has a familial connection. James Grant's brother, Jay Schrock, is an accomplished wood carver who often worked side-by-side with Grant on his art projects. Schrock completed the frame based on his brother's original plans. Hand-carved flowers representative of Athabascan beadwork, a traditional Chief's necklace, and a painted scene from Thompson's hometown of Tanana adorn the cedar frame.
"The bank was impressed with how the Center serves the entire community. It's not just about tourists. Everyone can use and enjoy the facility. As a community bank, that's something that we are happy to be a part of." said Mt. McKinley Bank President Craig Ingham as he presented a donation of $15,000.
Tanana Chiefs Conference has hired Gwich'in Athabascan Dixie Alexander as Director of Cultural Programs at the Morris Thompson Center. Dixie, one of 12 children, was raised in Ft. Yukon in a traditional lifestyle. She is a successful businesswoman, artist, and teacher. She spent more than 20 summers sharing her Athabascan culture with tourists at the Riverboat Discovery's native village. Her traditional artwork can be found in collections worldwide, including the UA Museum of the North and the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
The historic garden near the entrance to the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center features vegetables common in Fairbanks a century ago, but it serves a much more contemporary purpose–helping feed those in need. Facility manager Jason Faris harvests and delivers two boxes of fresh vegetables every week to the Stone Soup Cafe. "Earlier in the summer it was lettuce, cauliflower, swiss chard, radishes and lots and lots of herbs," said Faris. "Now it's kale, cabbage, chicory. Today I took over 25 pounds of potatoes." It's a welcome contribution according to Mary Mitchell, cafe chef and manager. "The volume of large leafy greens are highly appreciated," said Mitchell. The Stone Soup Café has been providing hot, nutritious meals daily to Fairbanks' hungry and homeless for over 20 years.

Knox Gold Mine, presents a $10,000 gift to Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center President Charlene Marth (2nd from left). The gift is to help complete the exhibits. "One part of the exhibits focuses on how we make a living – and mining is a signficant part of that story." said Shaw. "We are proud to be a part of telling the story of how we make a living in Interior Alaska." Also pictured here are Deb Hickok, Pam Rice and Cindy Schumaker.
How tall does your Sunflower grow?
At 8 ft, 3 inches tall (and still growing), the sunflower next to the historic cabin at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center in downtown Fairbanks is a hit with visitors. It is surely the most photographed flower in Fairbanks this summer.
Explore Fairbanks staffers Ginessa Peter, Corrine Jankowski, Ashley Ritenour, Helen Renfrew and Kasey Gillam show off our giant sunflower.
