Scaramucci recalls 'Treason' by SBF: 'I considered him a friend'
Anthony Scaramucci described his close relationship with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, his family, and how he felt after the magnitude of the FTX collapse came to light during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"I had a close relationship with [Sam Bankman-Fried]"I considered him a friend," Scaramucci said at Casper Labs' Blockchain Hub event. "So I have to tell you that the betrayal and the fraud are bad on many different levels. It certainly hurt my reputation."
While getting to know Bankman-Fried, Scaramucci said he also got to know his father, who was a tenured professor at Stanford Law School and worked on a charity with Bankman-Fried's aunt. He also recalled traveling to Miami with Kevin O'Leary of Bankman-Fried and Shark Tank, a former FTX spokesperson, to stage a mock Shark Tank for kids.
"I felt close to him and I felt close to his family," he said.
Scaramucci, co-founder and managing partner of investment management firm SkyBridge Capital, told the audience that while he didn't want to sue FTX for fraud in the past, he was now comfortable with it.
'If anyone here has read Dante Alighieri's Inferno, you know what the ninth circle of hell is reserved for," Scaramucci said. "It is for the betrayal of a friend who lives with the devil – the ninth circle of hell on the frozen lake," he said.
Despite the dark images, Scaramucci said Bankman-Fried's actions do not spell the end of blockchain or crypto.
"That's why we have blockchain and crypto, because we're trying to create a decentralized situation where we don't have to like or trust each other," he said. "We can transact with each other in a way that technology essentially sanctifies."
"I'm not going to stop taking risks," he said addedas he wrapped up the panel titled "Not for the Faint of Heart: Reflecting on Decades of Wins, Losses, Bulls & Bears."
On November 11, 2022, FTX and several of its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy, days after a bank ran on its FTT token. The following month, Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas and extradited to the United States on eight conspiracy charges.
Before his arrest, Bankman-Fried made several appearances, including an interview with New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin at the 2022 Deal Book Summit — against his lawyer's wishes — where he attempted to explain the situation and apologize.
"I thought Sam was the Mark Zuckerberg of crypto, I didn't think he was the Bernie Madoff of crypto," said Scaramucci. "I was wrong."
Before the collapse of FTX, Bankman-Fried offered bailouts to several crypto companies as the 2022 crypto winter continued. "The reason I did it, frankly, is because it doesn't seem clear to me if there are others out there doing that," said Bankman-Fried during an interview on the Decrypt GM podcast.
In September 2022, two months before FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, FTX Ventures purchased a 30% stake in Scaramucci's SkyBridge Capital, valued at approximately $45 million. At the time, Scaramucci's tone was more friendly towards the former billionaire, who now faces life in prison if found guilty of all charges.
"Sam is a visionary who has built incredible businesses that are synergistic with the future of SkyBridge," Scaramucci said at the time..

We are beyond obsessed with our decision to go motorized with our window treatments. Our home has a Lakeview and our biggest concern was losing some of our view because of window treatments. After searching long and hard, we stumbled upon Select Blinds. These blinds were an easy install. My husband and brother-in-law took about 5-10 minutes a window. Now that I am thinking of it.. make sure you follow the instructions on how to measure your windows so you order the correctly fitting window treatment. After you measure it... measure it again. My hubby and I did this about 4 times for each window. We ended up realizing we almost ordered the wrong size based off of our first measurements! Measuring can be tricky.. so be careful and triple check! Check out our video of the blinds we decided on. We give these blinds 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! If you want our exact blinds: Select Room Darkening Roller Shades With Cassette.

In 2009, a 10-year search for the bodies of 57 Irish immigrants at Duffy's Cut in the woods of Malvern, PA uncovered remains of only seven of them. They had been killed by vigilantes due to anti-Irish sentiment and a fear of cholera which may have infected some of the workers. The bodies showed that violence was the cause of death and not cholera. The railroad had buried them and burned their shanties. Amtrak refused further excavation as it is too close to their tracks! The Irish community erected a memorial and I wrote this verse . . .
for employment far from home.
in hope of selling their sweat.
for whatever their labor could get.
through a densely wooded valley.
all they found was resistance.
in that lonely wooded place.
killed by a murderer's hand.
but insure the victims remembrance.
Mike, a very worthy effort, I feel. But some commentators, speaking about "Sheridan's Ride," have stated that poetry, while often stirring and dramatic, doesn't necessarily make good history --- do you believe that all 57 who died at Duffy's Cut were murdered, then?
They have not been able to find and identify all the bodies since some are buried too close to the existing Amtrak lines to be excavated. However the evidence reveals that some may have been suffering from Cholera and either they or their comrades went for medical assistance sparking a fear in the local community that an epidemic was upon them and something had to be done. That somethig was the destructon of the entire worker's camp and all in it. While it is possible that some many have died or were about to die from Cholera, the bodies that were found reveal evidence of trauma indicating a vioent end for those left alive.
As always, thank you for that historical insight, Mike.


I need to write a macro to update a drawing template from an older style to our new one. The size of the paper will also maybe be changing. How do I do this with little ease as possible. (There is only a few templates (depending on paper size) it will be updating to which will be somewhat constant).
The custom properties do change between the templates which is a bit of a pain but not a major issue, hopefully.
I have used this method in my c# add-in. The methods are the same, however the syntax is a bit different from VBA. You will have to do this for each sheet I believe.

Description: This perennial plant is a herbaceous vine that produces stems 2-4' long. The stems are usually glabrous, but are sometimes hairy where new growth occurs. The alternate leaves are 1-2' long and half as much across. They are often sagittate (arrowhead-shaped), but are variable and can assume other forms as well. Their margins are smooth and occasionally slightly ciliate. Long slender petioles connect the leaves with the stems. A slender flowering stalk may develop from the base of a petiole. This stalk occasionally branches and can produce 1-3 flowers. The corolla of a flower is funnelform in shape and up to 1" across; it is usually white, sometimes with light pink patterns. The 5 lobes of the corolla are very shallow and barely perceptible. Toward the throat of the corolla is a patch of yellow and the reproductive parts, consisting of 5 stamens and a pistil with a divided style. These reproductive parts are usually white, although the anthers may be pink or light purple in flowers with pink corollas. At the base of the flower, there are 5 green sepals that are much smaller than the corolla. Up to 1" below the base of a flower, there are a pair of small green bracts on the flowering stalk.
The blooming period can occur from late spring to early fall, and can span several months, even though individual flowers persist for only a single day, usually opening during the morning and closing by late afternoon. A hairless and well-rounded seed capsule about ¼" long replaces each flower; each 2-celled capsule contains 4 seeds. These dark seeds are 3-angled and oblong, but tapering somewhat at the ends. Each seed usually has 2 flat sides and 1 convex side; it is about 1/8" long. The root system consists of a slender taproot that branches frequently; it can extend 20' into the ground. Rhizomes are also produced in abundance, so that this plant often forms vegetative colonies.
Cultivation: Field Bindweed prefers full sunlight and mesic to dry conditions. It has considerable drought tolerance, and flourishes in poor soil that contains sand, gravel, or hardpan clay. It will also grow in moist fertile soil, but dislikes competition from taller plants. Eradication of this plant is difficult, as mechanical cultivation often spreads the rhizomes around, producing new plants. Because of the deep root system, it has been known to survive bulldozer operations. It can also persist in lawns, notwithstanding regular lawn-mowing. The application of broadleaf herbicides can be an effective control measure, if it is repeated as needed.
Range & Habitat: Field Bindweed is a common plant that has been reported from most counties in Illinois (see Distribution Map); it is native to Eurasia. This plant continues to spread and probably occurs in every county of the state. Habitats include lawns, gardens, fields, clay banks, areas along roadsides and railroads (including ballast), vacant lots, and miscellaneous waste areas. This plant occurs primarily in disturbed areas.
Faunal Associations: Mostly long-tongued bees visit the flowers for nectar, including bumblebees and little carpenter bees (Ceratina spp.). In addition, specialist bees that are attracted to funnelform flowers also visit the flowers for nectar, including Melitoma taurea (Mallow Bee) and Cemolobus ipomoeae (Morning Glory Bee). The adults and larvae of several tortoise beetles are known to feed destructively on the foliage of Field Bindweed, including Charidotella sexpunctata (Golden Tortoise Beetle), Chelymorpha cassidea (Argus Tortoise Beetle), Deloyala guttata (Mottled Tortoise Beetle), and Jonthonota nigripes (Black-legged Tortoise Beetle). Other beetles that feed on this plant include Chaetocnema confinis (Sweet Potato Flea Beetle) and Typophorus nigritus (Sweet Potato Leaf Beetle); see Clark et al. (2004). The larvae of a sawfly, Sphacophilus cellularis, feed on the leaves of bindweeds (Convolvulus spp.), as do the larvae of several moths, including Bedellia somnulentella (Morning Glory Leafminer), Spragueia leo (Common Spragueia), Emmelina monodactyla (Morning Glory Plume Moth), and Agrius cingulatus (Pink-spotted Hawk Moth); see Smith (2006), Cranshaw (2004), Covell (1984/2005), and Wagner (2005). Field Bindweed is not a preferred food source for mammalian herbivores because the foliage is mildly toxic. Furthermore, there have been reports of the rootstocks poisoning swine.
Photographic Location: Along a railroad in Urbana, Illinois. This plant is very common in the area.
Comments: Field Bindweed is an attractive plant while it is in flower, but it can be very aggressive and persistent. The flowers are smaller in size than Calystegia sepium (Hedge Bindweed) and Ipomoea pandurata (Wild Sweet Potato). Its leaves are sagittate, while the leaves of Ipomoea pandurata (Wild Sweet Potato) and Ipomoea lacunosa (Small White Morning Glory) are cordate.

Bangladesh: From Riyadh with tales of heartbreak
by Porimol Palma
DHAKA (The Daily Star/ANN) - Saudi Arabia authorities deport 86 Bangladeshi workers. The trend of deportation from Saudi has been on the rise since November last year.
Nasiruddin went to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a dream to change the fate of his family by working hard and earning a good wage in the oil-rich country. His dream, however, turned into a nightmare within a matter of weeks as he had to face detention and was eventually deported to his home country.
"I spent 15 days in jail. I worked only for two and a half days and earned nothing," said the 25-year-old man, who landed in Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport yesterday afternoon, totally penniless and suffering from fever and cold.
Nasiruddin, a resident of Tangail's Ghatail upazila, told The Daily Star that he went to the KSA on February 14 this year. He spent a total of Tk 3 lakh to secure the job of a cleaner for "Sanam International", a Riyadh-based company.
However, as there was no job in Riyadh, his broker sent him to Dammam, the capital of the country's Eastern Province, to work for another company "Techno Group" two weeks later.
However, just after working for two and a half days, Saudi police detained him.
"I was detained not because I did not have the work permit, but because I was a supplied worker," said Nasiruddin, who was detained for 15 days.
Nasiruddin is one of the 86 Bangladeshi migrants who were deported for various reasons, including for working in a company other than the one that he was contracted for. According to airport oficials, around 300 to 400 Bangladeshi migrants are being deported every week from Saudi Arabia.
The trend of deportation from the KSA, home to around two million Bangladeshi workers, has been on the rise since November last year, said airport officials.
Nazrul Islam, deputy chief of Bangladesh embassy in Riyadh, however, said the Saudi authorities conduct raids against undocumented migrants throughout the year. If someone, who has work permit but works for a company that he was not contracted for, is also considered as illegal, he said.
There was no list of how many Bangladeshis have been detained and deported to Bangladesh, he added.
"Brokers are involved in various forms of illegal activities, and the workers fall victims to it," Nazrul Islam told The Daily Star yesterday.
Dulal Hossain, another migrant worker who fell prey to the traps of brokers in the KSA.
He spent a total of Tk 3.5 lakh for a visa to work in the kingdom and went there on September 21, 2017.
He borrowed the amount from his relatives and several micro credit organisations.
He was promised the job of a driver, but employed as a carpenter. It was a "free visa", he said.
"After landing in Saudi Arabia, I was imposed an additional burden of 28,000 Saudi riyal [worth around Tk 6.27 lakh]. The broker told me that he had paid the amount that was needed for my work permit and would deduct an installment of that amount from my weekly wage," he said at the Dhaka airport yesterday.
Dulal said, Saudi police detained him, along with few others, last week and put them in the deportation centre in Dammam and deported him to Bangladesh on Saturday.
"I could not send any money home in the past 17 months and I have a debt of Tk 6 lakh. How am I going to repay this amount?" Dulal said, heaving a sigh of frustration.
"Bangladeshis have no respect in Saudi Arabia. No one should go there," said Dulal.
Late last year, Bangladesh ambassador in the Kingdom, Golam Moshi, had said Saudi Arabia, which was currently undergoing a financial stress, was implementing its policy of employing local people.
Therefore, certain laws regarding the migrants that were not enforced earlier are now being followed strictly, he said.
"None should come to Saudi Arabia with so-called free visas," Moshi had said.

Românești, Medieșu Aurit

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaWikipedia


(Reuters) - Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd said it would contest $6 billion in punitive damages imposed by a jury in the United States in a case that accused Japan's largest drugmaker of concealing cancer risks associated with its Actos diabetes drug.
Eli Lilly and Co, Takeda's co-defendant in the case, was ordered to pay $3 billion in punitive damages by the jury in Louisiana on Monday. It also awarded $1.475 million in compensatory damages.
"Although there's no mathematical bright line" to determine how high is too high when it comes to punitive damage awards, federal appeals courts generally scrutinize the ratio of punitive to compensatory damages, preferring those that fall into the single-digit range, according to Professor Catherine Sharkey, a tort law expert at New York University School of Law.
"It's definitely the case that the U.S. Supreme Court has signaled to lower courts that they should be restraining very large punitive awards," Sharkey added.
Takeda's shares fell as much as 8.8 percent to an eight-month low in Tokyo trading on Tuesday after the verdict. The stock ended 5.2 percent lower at 4,572 yen.
The massive award was met with "stunned silence" in the Lafayette, Louisiana, courtroom, plaintiffs' lawyer Mark Lanier said.
"Nobody has gone out and bought a new home," Lanier said.
"This is a conservative judge and a conservative court and she's very 'balls and strikes.' We're not under any grand illusion."
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the previous Exxon Valdez award had been "excessive." The company was ultimately ordered to pay $500 million. That and other rulings have been read as limiting punitive damages in federal cases.
Takeda said judgments were entered in Takeda's favor in all three previous Actos trials, while this was the first federal case to be tried in a consolidated multidistrict litigation comprising more than 2,900 lawsuits.


President Barack Obama and the White House paid tribute to U.S. soldiers by bestowing them with the Medal of Honor on Tuesday, March 18. Here is an excerpt of the President's speech.
The presentation of our nation's highest military decoration — the Medal of Honor — is always a special occasion. But today, it is truly historic. This is the single largest group of servicemembers to be awarded the Medal of Honor since the Second World War. And with several of these soldiers recognized for their valor during that war, this ceremony is 70 years in the making. As one family member has said, this is long overdue.
Many of these families — and I had a chance to meet all of them who are present here today — they've known these stories of heroism for decades. Still, they were pretty surprised when we called them to break the news about the Medal of Honor. Some of them thought it was a prank. Some of them thought it was a scam. A few of them thought it might be some trick to get their credit card number. When I called Melvin Morris — who we'll recognize in a moment for his actions in Vietnam — his first reaction was, "Oh, my God, what have I done?" When I told him it was all good — the Medal of Honor — I could hear through the phone, he almost passed out.
You see, for their gallantry under fire each of these soldiers was long ago recognized with the Army's second-highest award — the Distinguished Service Cross. But ask their fellow veterans, ask their families, and they'll tell you that their extraordinary deeds merited the highest recognition. And today, we have the chance to set the record straight.
This ceremony reminds us of one of the enduring qualities that makes America great — that makes us exceptional. No nation is perfect, but here in America we confront our imperfections and face a sometimes painful past — including the truth that some of these soldiers fought, and died, for a country that did not always see them as equal. So with each generation we keep on striving to live up to our ideals of freedom and equality, and to recognize the dignity and patriotism of every person, no matter who they are, what they look like, or how they pray.
And that's why, more than a decade ago, Congress mandated a review to make sure that the heroism of our veterans wasn't overlooked because of prejudice or discrimination. Our military reviewed thousands of war records. They teamed up with veterans groups and museums to get this right. It was painstaking work, made even harder because sometimes our servicemembers felt as if they needed to change their last names to fit in. That tells a story about our past. But, ultimately, after years of review, these two dozen soldiers — among them Hispanic, African American and Jewish veterans — were identified as having earned the Medal of Honor. This is the length to which America will go to make sure everyone who serves under our proud flag receives the thanks that they deserve.
So this is going to be a long ceremony. We're going to read all 24 citations, because every one is a story of bravery that deserves to be told. But first, I want to take just a few minutes to describe the Americans behind these actions, the men these families know — the brilliant lives behind the smiling faces in those old photographs, and how they reflected all the beauty and diversity of the country that they served.
They were Americans by birth and Americans by choice — immigrants, including one who was not yet even a citizen. They grew up in big city neighborhoods like Brooklyn, rural communities like Hooper, Nebraska, small towns in Puerto Rico. They loved to fish and play baseball. They were sons who made their parents proud, and brothers who their siblings looked up to. They were so young — many in their early 20s. And when their country went to war, they answered the call. They put on the uniform, and hugged their families goodbye — some of them hugged the wives and children that they'd never see again.
They fought in the rocky hills of Italy, the blood-stained beaches of France, in the freezing mountains of Korea, the humid jungles of Vietnam. Their courage almost defies imagination. When you read the records of these individuals, it's unimaginable, the valor that they displayed. Running into bullets. Charging machine gun nests and climbing aboard tanks and taking them out. Covering their comrades so they could make it to safety. Holding back enemies, wave after wave, even when the combat was hand-to-hand. Manning their posts — some to their very last breaths — so that their comrades might live.
Of the 24 American soldiers we honor today, 10 never came home. One of them — Corporal Joe Baldonado, from the Korean War — is still missing, reminding us that, as a nation, we have a scared obligation to keep working to give the families of our missing servicemembers from all wars a full accounting of their loved ones.
Through their grief, the families of our fallen summoned the strength to carry on: wives whose hearts ached for their husbands; sons and daughters who grew up without their dad; nieces and nephews and grandchildren. These families join us here today. And they know, more than most, that because others laid down their lives for us, we've been able to live our lives in freedom, pursue our dreams. So there's a legacy here born of sacrifice.
That includes a soldier's nephew — a kid from New York, who grew up to become one of the great rock stars of all time and who honors his uncle here today. It includes soldiers who came home and took different paths — some continued to serve in uniform, some beginning new careers, some getting married and raising their kids, serving their communities, taking care of their fellow vets.
These veterans lived out their lives in the country that they helped to defend, and doing what they loved –like William Leonard, who at age 71 passed away in his backyard, sitting in his chair, listening to his beloved Yankees play on the radio.
And that's where this story might have ended. But Mitchel Libman — a friend of one of these soldiers and an Army vet himself — set out on a mission. He and his wife Marilyn spent years writing letters and working with Congress and our military to get this done. And so we thank all those who worked so hard for so long to bring us to this moment, especially Marilyn and Mitchel — now 83 years old — who I'd ask to stand so that we can all say thank you.
Finally, of these 24 soldiers, three remain with us and have joined us here today — men who remind us that sometimes the heroes we seek are right in front of us, literally living right next door.
Most days, you can find Jose Rodela in his San Antonio home — a 76-year-old retiree who enjoys watching baseball on TV, and working on his 1975 Chevy pickup, and mowing the grass for his neighbors. Jose is such a humble guy that he did not even mention the ceremony to his neighbors — who I think would be pretty shocked to turn on the news tonight — (laughter) — and see that the guy who cuts their lawn is getting the Medal of Honor. Today, we remember how 32–year-old Sergeant First Class Rodela fought through his wounds in Vietnam and rallied his men during 18 hours of constant combat.
Most days, you can find Melvin Morris at home in Port St. John, Florida — 72 years old, a retired salesman and a great-grandfather. You'll find him working on his boat, going fishing, reading the Bible, spending time with his beautiful wife Mary — married 53 years this month. You're going to have to give me some tips. We're not that far along yet. Today, we remember how 27-year-old Staff Sergeant Morris — one of our nation's very first Green Berets — one of our very first Green Berets — think about that. I mean, that's legendary — how Staff Sergeant Morris recovered a fallen comrade in Vietnam, took out several enemy bunkers, and kept going even after he was shot three times.
And on most days, you can find Santiago Erevia at home in San Antonio — he's a 68-year-old retired postal worker. He's fixing up his house, typically, tending to the garden, going on walks with his wife, or doing some push-ups to stay in shape. Today, we remember how 23-year-old Specialist Four Erevia, under a hail of bullets in Vietnam, gave first aid to his wounded comrades and single-handedly destroyed four enemy bunkers.

Indian brands reach US consumers via Amazon
MUMBAI: Amazon operates the second-largest e-commerce site in India, but the country is important in another respect because it is a source of cheap, but high quality, products that can be sold to US consumers on its American site.
American shoppers this holiday season may be unaware of the extent to which Amazon partners with Indian companies, but The New York Times reports that at least 27,000 Indian vendors have signed up to Amazon's outreach initiative since it began two years ago.
The arrangement appears to benefit all those concerned, with US consumers gaining access to quality discount goods, especially in the apparel category, while Indian brands access the more lucrative US market in addition to Amazon's knowhow about distribution, marketing and other services.
"Amazon handles everything in the US from shipping to customer handling, so we can focus on making the best quality products and adding more products to our catalogue," said Abhishek Middha, founder of The Boho Street, a fashion and lifestyle brand.
As for Amazon, the advantage goes beyond simply extending its range of discount goods as it vies for market share with the likes of Walmart.
The 75m products sourced from India on its main website enables the company to appeal to Americans of Indian heritage, but Amazon also makes money by charging Indian third-party sellers for the use of its services.
"They make more money on their third-party stuff than on the stuff they sell themselves," said Aaron Cheris, Head of Americas Retail at Bain & Company, the management consultancy.
According to The New York Times report, a vendor who opts for the full range of Amazon services – including storage, distribution and advertising – typically agrees to let Amazon keep about one-third of an item's sale price in fees and commission.
And with the Indian government strongly pushing Indian exports through the Make in India and other initiatives, Amazon's active promotion of Indian goods also does it no harm when it comes to its corporate image.

Building giant Lennar just started offering a 3.625% 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, putting even the recent headline-grabbing sub-5% rate to shame. It is, the company says, its lowest rate ever.
The deal isn't available on every home, of course. It's only for new purchases, no refis. And the requirements are pretty tight. The minimum credit score is 700, and closings must occur by April 30. The loan amount can't exceed $417,000, and at least 10% has to be put down.

I call this item a tunic/dress because it could be worn as either one! When my family was in Chicago, they went to Zara and discovered this fabulous item. My sister got it, and they also picked one up for me.
It combines so many summer trends in one article of clothing: off the shoulder, smocking detail, stripes, and such fun sleeves. I couldn't say no to all that! It comes in green and blue.
My sister Ebie wore it as a dress. I paired mine with white jeans and wore it as a tunic. I did find that it rides up a little bit, but since I was wearing it as a tunic, it didn't matter that it got a little shorter with my jeans.
Also, I saw a blogger who is pregnant wearing it as a tunic with jeans, and it was adorable with her bump! So basically, the possibilities are endless with this cute article of clothing!

US: President Trump cancels Denmark visit after rebuff over Greenland 0
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday called off a visit to Denmark scheduled for early September after the country's prime minister rebuffed his idea of purchasing Greenland.
"Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time," Trump said in a post on Twitter.
"The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!"
A White House official said Trump had dropped the Sept. 2-3 stop in Denmark, a NATO ally. Trump had been due to discuss the Arctic in meetings in Copenhagen with Frederiksen, who took office in June, and Prime Minister Kim Kielsen of Greenland.
He is due to visit Poland on August 31.
Frederiksen said on Sunday the idea of selling Greenland to the United States was absurd after an economic adviser to Trump confirmed US interest in buying the world's largest island.
"Greenland is not for sale. Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenland. I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously," Frederiksen told the newspaper Sermitsiaq during a visit to Greenland.
Trump confirmed to reporters on Sunday that he had recently discussed the possibility of buying Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, although he said such a move was not an immediate priority.
"The concept came up and … strategically it's interesting," Trump told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey.
A defense treaty between Denmark and the United States dating back to 1951 gives the US military rights over the Thule Air Base in northern Greenland.
Trump's interest in buying Greenland has been met with incredulity and humor. Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who recently stepped down as Danish prime minister, tweeted last week: "It must be an April Fool's Day joke."
On Monday, Trump retweeted an image of a golden Trump tower looming over a cluster of houses on the Arctic island, and wrote: "I promise not to do this to Greenland!"

When you are planning a short road trip to a nearby place, what are the things on your list? Garments, medicine, light luggage and some snacks. For any road trip, missing out on the dhaba food is almost a sin. Considering that there are numerous such places on the highway, here's why you should dig into the goodness.
Firstly, it is an awesome experience. There's something about these outdoor eateries which give you a sense of freedom and lets you enjoy the food.
Secondly, the food is generally light and cheap. Order a plate of tandoori roti with tadka or mixed lentil dish which is cooked with onion, tomato and regular seasoning. Add to that a plate of scrambled eggs and you'll be feeling energized.
Thirdly, the service is generally fast. Since these stalls are mostly placed alongside highways, the service is fast. People pause to take a break or get a quick munch before covering the journey.
Fourthly, the ambiance. It's the journey and the overall sit and eat and enjoying the openness which can really uplift any mood.
And finally, you don't have to go to a dhaba at all. With so many eateries opening up, you are bound to come across one which serves dhaba style food. Considering that you might not have time for the trip, you can always find time to order to make reservations.
Food bloggers will also share their opinions about the quality and recommend the must-try dishes. Alternatively, if you are planning a house party, you can always cook at home. You'll be surprised to find a wide range of roadside cuisine which can be achieved at home.
But don't bear the idea that you will find only typical cuisine here. Depending on the region and the food platter, you will find more than flat breads and lentil soup. Some also serve full-fledged meals to serve all kinds of requirements. It may sound voucher but every state has embraced the dhaba culture and induced their own style giving the dishes distinct flavor and style.
Earlier days, the concept of dhaba was restricted to catering to truckies and long-distance travelers. Till date, dhabas comprise of a shed like building where the food is prepared and surrounded by Charpoys or day-bed type seating on which you can relax and eat your food. Regular table chair setting is also available.
Some of the well known items that you should try include kadhai paneer, mixed veg, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, tadka dal (which can be prepared in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian style), kaali dal, chicken curry, egg curry (which is also opted by many), parantha (plain and/or with filling), naan and etc. You can finish the meal with a glass of lassi or chaach and you are good to go.
Again if you are the sort who does not want to leave the comfort of home yet want to experience the food, you can either order in or prepare the dishes yourself. You will find numerous recipes through videos and print which you can make the most use of. At the same time, you can also impress everyone with your culinary style and bring the dhaba to your home.
You can find inspiration on different food blogs where you will get recommendations and hands-on experience to enjoy the whole dhaba culture. Start looking and contributing today. Even if you are arranging for a house party and are out of ideas, this might help you plan the event and you can get the most of it with family and friends right at home.

While the federal laws and processes for grand juries and criminal indictments are fairly straightforward, state indictments are another matter. By definition, a formal indictment for a crime must come from a grand jury; but while the individual states all have provisions for grand jury indictments, the practice is only required in a fraction of the states. Some states call for indictments only under certain circumstances, and some states rarely use grand juries at all. Some of this is due to ambiguity in some of the states' constitutions, as well as changing mindsets about the necessity of grand juries in general.
How State Indictments Work
When a state uses a grand jury to consider indicting you (either by requirement or by election), the process remains fairly similar to that of the federal court system. A grand jury may consist of anywhere from 12-24 local citizens, and the prosecutor will present evidence for the grand jury to consider whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant a formal accusation. Generally speaking, no indictment is required to charge you for a misdemeanor; state indictments typically apply to felony charges. The grand jury does not need a unanimous vote in order to indict, but it may require a simple majority, two-thirds majority or three-fourths majority, depending on the rules of the jurisdiction.
In states where formal indictment is more optional, the state attorney's office may still opt to enlist the help of a grand jury, especially if no arrest has yet been made, as this may strengthen the prosecution's case. (An indictment tends to streamline the progression of a court case.) In cases where the prosecutor prefers to bypass the indictment process, he or she will file a document called an "information" or "accusation." The court then initiates a preliminary hearing, in lieu of a grand jury, to determine probable cause. (This often gives the defendant a chance to refute the accusations, which does not happen in a grand jury situation.) If the judge is convinced that there is sufficient reason to prosecute, the defendant will be bound over for trial, the same as if a formal indictment had been handed down.
State Indictments in Georgia
Here in the State of Georgia, a grand jury indictment is not required in many cases, but it is still the norm for most felony charges, with a few exceptions. A grand jury in Georgia consists of 24 people, 16 of whom must be present in order to confirm an indictment. Grand juries meet in secret, serve for varying lengths of time and meet at varying frequencies, depending on the jurisdiction.
After the prosecuting attorney introduces the case to the jurors, the attorney or the jury itself may call witnesses as deemed necessary to investigate whether the charges warrant an indictment. After reviewing the evidence, the grand jury votes. If at least 12 jurors believe there is probable cause, the jury foreperson will write "True Bill" on the official indictment, meaning the indictment is now official, and preparations will be made to bring the case to trial. With fewer than 12 votes, they will write "No Bill." As an additional check-and-balance, if the jurors believe the charges were completely without merit, they may endorse the No Bill as "Malicious Prosecution," which makes the initiator of the charges responsible for court costs to that point. (This deters the wholesale accusation of innocent people without just cause.

Q: VBA: Searching an entire collection of classes for a value I have a collection of simple classes and I would like to search for a specific value in all the classes.
To put it into an example it would look like this:
Collection: Employees
Class: Employee
Employee.Name
Employee.Address
Employee.Salary

The data is in a spreadsheet so I'm creating a class for each employee and then store the class into the collection.
So at some point I need to find, lets say, the employee with the highest salary, so I need to search for that value through all the classes.
Can anyone tell how this is done in VBA?
Thank you!

A: Collections can be traversed by a For statement or a For Each statement.
Try (Assuming the Employees collection is 0-based):
Dim CtrA as Long, MaxSalary as Currency
MaxSalary = 0
For CtrA = 0 to Employees.Count-1
    If Employees(CtrA).Salary > MaxSalary  Then
        MaxSalary = Employees(CtrA).Salary
    End If
Next

Or:
Dim Emp as Employee, MaxSalary as Currency
MaxSalary = 0
For Each Emp in Employees
    If Emp.Salary > MaxSalary  Then
        MaxSalary = Emp.Salary
    End If
Next

The For Each construct may be preferable, since it uses early binding, while the For construct may use late binding, meaning that if you get your class members wrong, with early binding you find out on compile, whereas with late binding, you only find out at runtime.

Willieoma Roznowski given 90th birthday celebration
Willieoma (Bleau) Roznowski recently celebrated her 90th birthday. In honor of the occasion, her sons and daughters gave her a birthday party. Willieoma's children include Michael (Helen), Mary Lou, Daniel (Marilyn), Arthur (Patti) and Clarence (Robin) Roznowski, Nancy (Edward) Dulebohn and Sally (Alan) Wong.
Approximately 200 people from seven different states came to the Knights of Columbus Hall on Hamilton Road. The party was held from 2-6 p.m., with no alcohol served. Instead, many families brought their children, and there was lots of lemonade and juices.
The Norm Siess Band played music while folks mingled, played games, won prizes and danced. The day was sunny and clear, so many children played outside.
At 5 p.m., a dinner was catered in and served by Tina Paul's Country Cabin Catering. There were mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, fried chicken, sausage and sauerkraut, carrots, hot buns and all the trimmings. Betty Bleau and her daughter, Jenny Tessmer, made the elegant cake enjoyed by everyone.
Willieoma has more than 100 descendants. Many of them live in Michigan, in addition to other parts of the country. Family and friends attended from Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana and several different cities in Michigan.
The Bleau, Johnson and Roznowski families have doctors, nurses, CEOs, lawyers, cooks, teachers, engineers, architects and many more blue and white collared citizens who are mostly French, Polish, Irish, Scotch, Norwegian, English, German and African American. Christianity runs strongly in Willieoma's family. She is proud of her family, town, state, country and faith.
Willieoma is a former elementary teacher at Gordon, Sunset and Lincoln Schools from 1960-1986. Following her retirement, she continued to substitute teach at Hinks and Besser Schools as well as teach GED classes in Rogers City, North Carolina and Florida.

I mentioned yesterday that I am in Canberra for a few days to spend some time with father in law Noel. Aged 92, he nonetheless has the widest jazz knowledge (and record collection) of anyone I know, was Secretary to the Executive Council and therefore the liaison between Gough Whitlam and John Kerr, and has lived in Canberra since 1949 after moving there from New Guinea.
In his honour, today's Bytes looks at some items of interest about Canberra.
Canberra is the capital city of Australia. Founded following the federation of the colonies of Australia as the seat of government for the new nation, it is Australia's largest inland city and the eighth-largest city overall. The city is located at the northern end of the Australian Capital Territory; 280 km (170 mi) south-west of Sydney and 660 km (410 mi) north-east of Melbourne.
The arms of Australia's capital were granted on November 7, 1928.
The castle in the arms has three towers, which signify dignity, importance and grandeur of the city. The sword of justice represents the national authority. The mace symbolises the law making power. The crown shows the role of the sovereign in Australian government. The rose is the rose of York, which commemorates the contribution of the Duke of York in establishing Canberra as the seat of government.
The portcullis or gate above the arms are the link to the arms of Westminster in England, seat of the British parliament. Behind the porticullis is a gum tree, which represents growth and progress of the city.
The swans symbolise the Aboriginal and European people.
When the provisional national parliament opened in 1927, it was lumped in the middle of a barren-looking paddock.
Opening of Parliament House, May 1927

Always intended as a temporary home for federal Parliament, Provisional (Old) Parliament House remained in operation for 61 years. When it opened on 9 May 1927, there were 101 members of parliament—by the time the building closed, this number had more than doubled to 224.
Construction of Old Parliament House, Canberra, 1923
While many of Canberra's streets and suburbs are named after politicians, Callister St in Theodore pays tribute to a true Australian legend: Dr Cyril Callister, the inventor of Vegemite.
Dr Cyril Callister, 1893-1949
137 entries were received from 15 different countries to design Australia's new capital city in 1912. The competition was boycotted by the Royal Institute of British Architects, the Institution of Civil Engineers and their affiliated bodies throughout the British Empire because the Minister for Home Affairs King O'Malley insisted that the final decision was for him to make rather than an expert in city planning.
King O'Malley, 1858-1953
In the language of the Ngunnawal people, Canberra supposedly means either "meeting place" or "women's breasts." The former is generally thought correct, although a look at Mt Ainslie and Black Mountain from the right angle could suggest otherwise.
Mount Ainslie behind Lak Burley Griffin
While American Walter Burley Griffin took all the credit for designing the city, his wife Marion did all the drawings presented to the assessors.
Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin
Lake Burley Griffin is an artificial lake in the centre of the city and is the centrepiece of the capital in accordance with Griffin's original designs.. Griffin designed the proposed lake with many geometric motifs, so that the axes of his design lined up with natural geographical landmarks in the area. However, government authorities changed his original plans and no substantial work was completed before he left Australia in 1920. Griffin's proposal was further delayed by the Great Depression and World War II, and it was not until the 1950s that planning resumed. After political disputes and consideration of other proposed variations, excavation work began in 1960 with the energetic backing of Prime Minister Robert Menzies. Because of a drought, the lake's target water level was not reached until April 1964. The lake was formally inaugurated on 17 October 1964.
The view along Central Basin towards the Carillon and Defence Headquarters
Both before and after Federation, there was much public bickering about what and where a federal territory and Seat of Government should be. The Constitution said that the Parliament must choose a site at least one hundred miles (160km) from Sydney and that the Parliament would sit in Melbourne until a new parliament house was built in the new capital. What is now Canberra was finally selected as a suitable site.
A competition was held in 1913 to name the new locality, the sentimental favourite being Canberra, which had been in common use in the district for more than three-quarters of a century. Nonetheless some of the nominated names, many tongue in cheek, included Cookaburra, Wheatwoolgold, Kangaremu, Sydmelperadbrisho, Meladneyperbane, Swindleville, Gonebroke and Caucus City.
A group of people are pushing for a Hollywood style sign on the disused quarry at Eagle Hawk Hill facing the Fedral Highway (2 kilometeres on the NSW side of the ACT border). The Canberra Times' Tim the Yowie Man has described the capital's current 'sense of arrival' by road as having "as much 'wow factor' as taking a packet of milk arrowroot biscuits to a dessert party." I like the sign idea.
On 12 March 1913, London-born Governor-General Lord Denman, Labor Prime Minister Andrew Fisher and home affairs minister King O'Malley laid the city's three foundation stones on Capital Hill. There had been considerable disagreement as to how the name Canberra should be pronounced. It was agreed that however Lady Denman, wife of the GG and who was to christen the city, pronounced it would be the pronunciation henceforth. At noon on that date she declared:
'I name the capital of Australia, Canberra, with the accent on the Can'.
It is ironic that King O'Malley, a strict teetotaller who had alcohol banned from the Australian Capital Territory until 1928, now gives his name to the most famous Irish pub in Canberra, King O'Malley's. As it happens, O'Malley was also not Irish.
The Long Drop
I drove to Canberra yesterday to spend a few days with father in law Noel, who is an avid Byter, still active, still driving and still studying and learning. Did I mention that he is 92? Onya Noel!
The drive to Canberra is along the Hume Highway and Federal Highway, roads which have roadside rest areas honouring. and named after, Australian VC winners. For overseas readers, the Victoria Cross is the highest military bravery award for valour in the presence of the enemy. The rest areas are off the main road, have picnic tables and most have toilets. This is the Mackey VC rest area where Kate and I often break our journey to have lunch or a coffee stop at one of the picnic tables.
Yesterday I had occasion to use the toilets at the rest stop. It is an experience that one need not place on their bucket list. You can tell from the above photographs that such rest stops are isolated without any services, plumbing, electricity or running water. The toilets work on the principle of what is commonly called "the long drop", aka as a pit toilet. For those people, especially younger readers, not familiar with this, it operates as follows:
At Mackey VC rest area, the condition of the toilets is horrible, the smell is bad and, when the door is closed, the ammonia in the closed area brings tears to one's eyes.
Did you know that the romans would let vats of urine stand for weeks to create ammonia. This was then mixed with water and wood ash, which was used for washing clothes.
The Mackey VC toilet experience reminded me of a poem I came across not long ago which I share with you today, which is the point of today's post.

Poor 'Ol Grandad
- Grahame Watt
Poor old Granddad's passed away, cut off in his prime,
He never had a day off crook – gone before his time,
We found him in the dunny, collapsed there on the seat,
A startled look upon his face, his trousers around his feet,
The doctor said his heart was good – fit as any trout,
The Constable he had his say, 'foul play' was not ruled out.
There were theories at the inquest of snakebite without trace,
Of redbacks quietly creeping and death from outer space,
No-one had a clue at all – the judge was in some doubt,
When Dad was called to have his say as to how it came about,
'I reckon I can clear it up,' said Dad with trembling breath,
'You see it's quite a story – but it could explain his death.'
'This here exploration mob had been looking at our soil,
And they reckoned that our farm was just the place to look for oil.
So they came and put a bore down and said they'd make some trials,
They drilled a hole as deep as hell, they said about three miles!
Well, they never found a trace of oil and off they went, post haste.
But I couldn't see a hole like that go to flamin' waste,
So I moved the dunny over it – a real smart move I thought –
I'd never have to dig again – I'd never be 'caught short'.
The day I moved the dunny, it looked a proper sight,
But I didn't dream poor Granddad would pass away that night,
Now I reckon what has happened – poor Granddad didn't know,
The dunny was re-located when that night he had to go.
And you'll probably be wondering how poor Granddad did his dash–
Well, he always used to hold his breath
Until he heard the splash!!
The Oz slang term "dunny", meaning toilet, comes from the Scottish "dung" and "ken" (meaning house) to give "dunnekin", an 'earth closet, (outside) privy'. Once the toilet moved inside, in Oz and NZ the "kin" was dropped and it stayed as "dunny".
Pictures of outhouse frequently show a crescent moon shaped hole cut in the door. The hole was for light and ventilation. One theory suggests that men's outhouses had a star cutout, women's outhouses had a crescent moon, this being for people who could not read. In those days mean and women were often segregated, including sitting on opposite sides in churches. Over time, men's toilets fell into such disrepair that only the women's structures remained.

A variation on the better known one . . .
Ole and Sven were fishing in the Minnesota opener when Sven pulled out a cigar. Finding he had no matches, he asked Ole for a light.
'Ya, shure, I tink I haff a lighter,' he replied, and then, reaching into his tackle box, he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.
'Yiminy Cricket!' exclaimed Sven, taking the huge Bic lighter in his hands. 'Vere dit yew git dat monster??'
'Vell,' replied Ole, I got it from my Genie.'
'You haff a Genie?' Sven asked.
'Ya, shure It's right here in my tackle box,' says Ole.
'Could I see him?'
Ole opens his tackle box and sure enough, out pops the Genie.
Addressing the genie, Sven says, 'Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your master. Vill you grant me vun vish?'
'Yes, I will,' says the Genie.
So Sven asks the Genie for a million bucks.
The Genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Sven sitting there waiting for his million bucks.
Shortly, the sky darkens and is filled with the sound of a million ducks... Flying directly overhead.
Over the roar of the million ducks, Sven yells at Ole, 'Yumpin' Yimminy, I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!'
Ole answers, 'Ya, I forgot to tell yew dat da Genie is hart of hearing. Do yew really tink I asked for a 10-inch Bic?"
An Irish man went to confession in St. Patrick's Catholic Church. 'Father', he confessed, 'it has been one month since my last confession... I had sex with Fanny Green twice last month.'
The priest told the sinner, 'You are forgiven. Go out and say three Hail Mary's.'
Soon thereafter, another Irish man entered the confessional. 'Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I've had sex with Fanny Green twice a week for the past two months.'
This time, the priest questioned, 'Who is this Fanny Green?'
'A new woman in the neighborhood,' the sinner replied.
'Very well,' sighed the priest. Go and say ten Hail Mary's.;
At mass the next morning, as the priest prepared to deliver the sermon, a tall, Voluptuous, drop-dead gorgeous redheaded woman entered the sanctuary. The eyes of every man in the church fell upon her as she slowly sashayed up the aisle and sat down right in front of the priest. Her dress was green and very short, and she wore matching, shiny emerald-green shoes.
The priest and the altar boy gasped as the woman in the green dress and matching green shoes sat with her legs spread slightly apart, but just enough to realize she wasn't wearing any underwear.
The priest turned to the altar boy and whispered, 'Is that Fanny Green?'
The bug-eyed altar boy couldn't believe his ears but managed to calmly reply, 'No Father, I think it's just a reflection from her shoes'.
From the vault . . .
Two cattle drovers were standing in an Outback bar.

"Ahh, I'm gunna be takin' a mob of 6000 cattle from Goondiwindi to Gympie."

"Ah, prob'ly the Missus ... after all, she stuck by me durin' the drought"
Limerick of the Week . . .
There once was a fellow from Perth

And he died on his last day on Earth.
Corn Corner:
From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher :
My five-year old students are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
I took a deep breath, then asked..."What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does. " A f r i c a n Elephant "
Do you know that when a woman wears a leather dress, a man's heart beats quicker, his throat gets dry, he gets weak in the knees, and he begins to think irrationally?
Ever wonder why?
It's because she smells like a new golfbag.
I walked into Bunning's hardware at lunchtime, wandered down the timber aisle and some old fart dressed in a red shirt with a green apron on asked me if I wanted decking. Fortunately, I got in the first half dozen punches and sorted the bastard out.
Those less suspecting might not be so lucky. Spread this warning on to all your friends.
Some Trucking Items
A truck driver stopped at a roadside diner one day to grab some lunch. He ordered a cheeseburger, a coffee and a slice of apple pie.
Just as he was about to eat them, three big hairy bikers walked in.
The first biker grabbed the trucker's cheeseburger and took a big bite from it.
The second biker picked up the trucker's coffee and downed it in one gulp.
The third biker ate the trucker's apple pie.
The truck driver didn't do anything or say a word as all this went on.
When they finished, he just paid the waitress and left.
The first biker said to the waitress, "He ain't much of a man, is he?"
"He's not much of a driver, either," the waitress replied. "He's just backed his 18-wheeler over three motorbikes."
Some semi trailer decorations:
MKessing with you, thiis is the truck from the Smoky and the Bandit film
This one truck driver would often amuse himself by running over lawyers. Whenever he saw a lawyer walking down the side of the road he would swerve to hit him, enjoy the load, satisfying "THUMP" as he did so, and then swerve back onto the road.
One day, as the truck driver was driving along he saw a priest hitch-hiking. He thought he'd do a good turn so he pulled the truck over and said to the priest, "Where're you going, Father?"
The priest answered, "I'm going to the church 3 miles down the road."
"No problem, Father!" said the trucker, "I'll give you a lift. Climb in."
So the priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road. Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively he swerved to hit him. But as he did so he suddenly remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, so at the last minute he swerved away, just missing the lawyer.
Even though he was sure he'd missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "THUD". Not knowing where the noise had come from, he looked in his mirrors but when he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry Father. I almost hit that lawyer."
"I know", said the priest. "Lucky I got him with the door!"

The Storm The title of this story suggests a metaphorical connection between the storm outside and the storm of emotions going on in the individuals Calixta and Alcee. The intensity of their sexual act inside the house follows the pattern of the storm outside.
Their passion climaxes and diminishes with the storm. They are left replenished and fresh just like nature. The storm outside had been brewing for some time, just as it had been brewing between Calixta and Alcee. They tried to deter the storm by staying away from each other, but it was inevitable just like the storm itself.
They had set up barriers between themselves by not being alone together but those barriers could be and were broken. Just like the storm beating down the barriers of the house trying to expose them to the outside elements, the barriers between Calixta and Alcee were diminishing with first contact as shown in this excerpt. "The rain beat upon the low, shingled roof with a force and clatter that threatened to break an entrance and deluge them there." This refers to the storm outside and their emotional state.

They were feeling this need and desire for each other and it was beating down all the barriers they had set up within themselves to resist this temptation. Their feelings were so dangerously close to the surface that they could hardly hide them any longer. The storm was raging on and the drama of the lightning was very shocking to them. They could almost feel its electricity.
"The playing of lightning was incessant. A bolt struck a tall chinaberry tree at the edge of the field. It filled all visible space with a blinding glare and the crash seemed to invade the very boards they stood upon." The lightning in the literal storm was the symbol of the electricity felt between the Calixta and Alcee.
It draws them together by its magnetic force. She falls into his arms and their desire could not be denied once they touched. The urge was too powerful for them to deny, like a bolt of lightning. The intensity of the storm increases along with their longing for each other.
They did not turn and run from the internal storm of passion within them, but instead it made them happy and giddy so they don't worry about the storm outside. "They did not heed the crashing torrents, and the roar of the elements made her laugh as she lay in his arms." Her feeling and emotions are very intense at this time. All she feels and needs is him to fulfill the raging storm inside of them.
Relaxation and calm is the feeling one gets after a storm has passed. This is what they both felt after their sexual encounter was complete. "The rain was over; and the sun was turning the glistening green world into a palace of gems." "He turned and smiled at her with a beaming face.
" His face beamed like the sun after the completion of a storm. The storm inside of him was satisfied and calmed by this act just as the earth is satisfied and calmed by a rainstorm. He felt whole and replenished. A storm does many things for nature.
It replenishes, feeds, and allows nature to grow. The storm between Alcee and Calixta did all of those things. Their desire was fed and satisfied. The storm replenished their relationships with their spouses and families.
The following passage was used to describe Calixta and her family at dinner that same night. "The three of them seated themselves at the table they laughed much and so loud that anyone might have heard them as far away as Laballiere's." It also replenished Alcee's relationship with his wife. "Alcee Laballiere wrote to his wife, Clarisse, that night.

It was a loving letter, full of tender solicitude." This storm rejuvenated their lives with their families as the other storm rejuvenated and replenished the earth outside. It made everything stronger and healthier. The storm beautifies the world with freshness and new life.
The storm between Alcee and Calixta accomplished the same thing. "So the storm passed and everyone was happy." The storm between them gave them new life and satisfaction. They felt fresh and renewed like they had been reborn.
They could appreciate everything they have once again.

The plot of the story "The Storm" by Kate Chopin is a conventional everydayplot. The story would not be so interesting if it weren't for the last line of thestory; "So the storm passed and everyone was happy." What did she mean bythe closing line? My interpretation of the story is that she meant the rocky partof both Calixta and Alcee's mariage had passed along with the storm. BothAlcee and Calixta cheated on their spouse, however, they both knew thatwhen the stor was over they would return to faithfulness with their mates.Alcee obviously felt regretful, as indicated when the author...

Of the two stories I read, one being The Storm by Kate Chopin and the other being A Good Man Is Hard To Find by Flannery O'Connor, I found that each had characters with moral dilemmas. In both, the setting played a role in these dilemmas but in different ways. In The Storm, the bad weather was the set-off to and unpredicted intimacy while in A Good Man Is Hard To Find, the setting seems to be focused around a family's vacation and their encounter with a criminal. In the following paragraphs, I will go on to explain how certain...
The Storm, The Yellow Wallpaper, Young Goodman Brown Essay 1131 Words | 5 Pages
Because writing is inherently romantic in nature, throughout the history of literature, we see many authors' insights into the enigmatic and often ambiguous subject of love and relationships. Three short stories penned by three separate American writers deal with such matter: Charlotte Perkins Gillman in "The Yellow Wallpaper", Kate Chopin in "The Storm", and Nathaniel Hawthorne in "Young Goodman Brown. " Though the relationships presented in each of these stories are unique in their own persuasion, the same underlying theme runs true in all. At first glance all of these relationships may appear healthy in their existence; however, further introspection...
