#MambaDay: Kobe Bryant Trolls The Fans One Last Time With "The Conductor" Commercial
If you could ask Kobe Bryant what he would like his final NBA act to look like, it would not be at the friendly and adoring confines of the Staples Center where everybody is cheering for him like a hero. Nope, he would want to be at an opposing team's gym in his road purple jersey burying a game-winning shot over the outstretched arms of a hopeless defender. Basically it's the scenario of "The Conductor", Kobe's last Nike commercial as an active NBA player.
Thankfully it's not just a super-serious look at Kobe with super-serious background music, as it features cameos from teams that he has both tortured (Sacramento, Portland, etc.) and teams that have tortured him (Detroit, Boston, etc.) along with some surprises along the way. It really deserves a watch whether you love Kobe or can't stand the guy. The only thing missing is a guitar and The Rock it's that epic of a troll.

Jeromus Johnson (* 2. November 1775 in Wallabout, Brooklyn, Provinz New York; † 7. September 1846 in Goshen, New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Zwischen 1825 und 1829 vertrat er den Bundesstaat New York im US-Repräsentantenhaus.

Werdegang
Jeromus Johnson wurde im ersten Jahr des Unabhängigkeitskrieges in Wallabout geboren. Er besuchte öffentliche Schulen. Später zog er nach New York City, wo er kaufmännischen Geschäften nachging. Er saß im Jahr 1822 in der New York State Assembly. Politisch gehörte er der Jacksonian-Fraktion an. Bei den Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1824 wurde Johnson im dritten Wahlbezirk von New York in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt, wo er am 4. März 1825 die Nachfolge von Churchill C. Cambreleng, John J. Morgan und Peter Sharpe antrat, welche zuvor zusammen den dritten Distrikt im US-Repräsentantenhaus vertreten hatten. Er wurde einmal wiedergewählt und schied dann nach dem 3. März 1829 aus dem Kongress aus. Während der Zeit als Kongressabgeordneter hatte er den Vorsitz über das Committee on Public Expenditures (20. Kongress). Am 26. Mai 1830 wurde er zum Appraiser of Merchandise im Port of New York ernannt, eine Stellung, die er bis zu seinem Rücktritt im Jahr 1840 innehatte, als er sich vom aktiven Geschäft zurücktrat und nach Goshen zog. Er verstarb dort am 7. September 1846 und wurde dann auf einem Privatfriedhof auf seinem Anwesen beigesetzt. Sein Bruder war Jeremiah Johnson (1766–1852), Bürgermeister der damals noch eigenständigen Stadt Brooklyn.

63 Clause 4(2) provides that the provisions of the Bill dealing with the implementation of the 1996, 2005 and 2007 Hague Conventions and consequential amendments set out in Schedule 5 come into force on "IP completion day", which is at the end of the transition period. However, there is a power for the Secretary of State to appoint the day on which certain provisions of Schedule 5 will come into force. These are the amendments to the EU Exit Regulations dealing with the 2005 and 2007 Hague Conventions (SI 2018/1124 and 2018/1125) dealing with cases arising during any gap in the application of those Conventions to the UK after the end of the transition period and before the UK has become a contracting party to them in its own right. The Government plans to time the UK's accession to and ratification of the 2005 and 2007 Hague Conventions so that a gap does not arise, in which case the provisions listed in section 4(3) will be commenced on "IP completion day", that is, at the end of the transition period. However, subsection (3) provides flexibility not to bring these provisions into force if a gap is unavoidable.
64 Clause 4(4) means that the provisions of the Bill relating to the clause 2 power will come into force on Royal Assent. This means that the Government will be able to make regulations under the power to implement any international agreements on PIL which it intends should be in force ready for the end of the transition period.

I have never run with a phone, having been a solo runner since I was fifteen years old, covering miles and miles on moorland, forestland, trails and tracks all over the world.
I do remember feeling somewhat panicked when I couldn't find my hotel the night before the Caan marathon. I had gone for a twenty minute 'leg loosener' after travelling, and ended up running for an hour trying to find my way back...!
That feels another lifetime now, when my 'off form' would be amazing 'top form' now...!
The sun beat down. I was walking not even that fast, my HR was 155... Very steep!
It was only 100 metres away, but every exersion saw my heart rate rising quickly... I snail paced my way and once I had reached the top I knew I was likely to see another human soon... if I needed one!
I chose life rather than pushing on to collapse alone on a hidden mountain path!
It was good to see I want to live; in the window where death presents itself, that I choose life.

The pier on the beach, 50m away from the villas, offers you direct boat access to Phang Nga's dramatic seascape to the north, and a string of beautiful islands stretching south. It is easy to understand why the sheltered bays and impressive Cape Yamu headland are attracting some of the most exclusive developments on Phuket, including projects by Phillipe Starck, Martin Palleros and Jean Michel Gathy of Aman Resorts fame.

Its been a hectic month here on Dash. Horses have been galloping around with their rides and apples have started to fall from the trees. Don't ask me, its not even spring yet nor fall.
Horses love apples, well most of the horses too. Maybe a few of them refuse to eat the apples.
Development on Dash is on schedule for alpha testing sometime this year. I don't have a set date for it as I'm in knee deep in code trying to poke the horses into doing their own things.
I do have one good feature to reveal. Horses now control their own movement. They may or may not listen as they are directed on where to go by their riders. They could fight back, they could refuse to go into the water. They could turn around and head in the opposite direction. They could even stop in one place and not move. Certain horses could even freak when they see goats. They could throw their riders into the river! They could be barn sour and if you don't pay attention they'll heading right back home!
Yes these are like real horses! Not a horse that does exactly what you want every time. Push-button horses are not real horses. They are machines, not living creatures. Play every horse game out there and you'll see what I mean.
Riding a horse should take skill and patience. It should not be easy as pressing forward on the controls. If your horsemanship skills aren't up to the task, don't be upset if you get tossed to the ground.
I'm trying to make these horses into wonderful creatures that they are. It is amazing to see how they come alive, doing their own things. I can't wait to see how their personalities develop!
Many horse game have stables that exist in a instance or a personal copy of the world. No matter how many players join the game and own their own stable. There is always room for other players to own stables. All the stables have the same look and feel. Even if you decorate, your stable still has the same layout as your friends and hundreds of other stables.
I have something to show for the upcoming Christmas playtest on the 29th Take a look at this stable inside the rich area of the city of Dash.
2k Warning. This image is large so you can see the scale of it!
This stable is one of dozens in the world. Since it is in a public area this stable isn't player owned, players can only rent the stalls for gold. When you are renting stalls in this stable you can board your horses here for a fee which has to be paid or your horses will get evicted.
Notice how this stable exists in the world and is not sectioned off in its own instance. Every stable in the game, even the player owned stables, exists in the real world. That means stable can't be large 100+ stall buildings that take up huge amounts of land. They have to fit in the world of Dash and that means having limitations on size and quality. Every player owned stable will be unique and have its own different layout. So no one stable is the same and every one will have its own charm or dislike to it. Like rich vs poor stables or city vs outside stables, there will be only be so many stables in the world. Most of the stables will be player owned.
Stables require lots of maintenance and is not recommend for someone by themselves to run a stable on their own. It is best to have a group of friends or like minded players to assist in running a stable. Lack of maintenance and not paying rent on the stable will mean eviction. This is because there are only going to be a limited number of stables in the world. Owners who claim stables and not use them or forget about them will be evicted to allow more qualified owners to take over. Having your own stable will be only for the most dedicated of players and not for the light hearted. 95% of players should have no reason to own one and their gameplay should be unaffected. There will be plenty to do besides having to maintain and run a stable. Trust me.
Breeders may choose to own a stable or not. It is really up to them if they need to space and need to handle multiple horses at once. Breeding comes with its own risks and rewards as I made in an earlier post.
For those players who choose to pay to own a stable. It is a premium feature and will require a month subscription to have the ability to own one stable. I don't think it would be fair for one person or group to own more than one stables and crowd out other stable buyers. So restrictions will be put into place. Stables can be traded or sold for what market price you can get from other players if you choose to sell it.
That is it for now. In other future post I will take about upgrading or downgrading your stable and what it means and how much maintenance stables require. I hope you have a merry Christmas! Take care!
What are rare horses in Dash? Rare horses that have rare unique colors in the wild.
Here is a rare horse that you may only see once in game. I present to you the rare blue roan paint!
Isn't she pretty? She won't be easily caught too! We're not even going to talk about breeding yet.
Their colors and breed combination makes them rare. It also makes them stand out amongst other horses. Every rare horse as a unique ability that separates them from other horses. It may be something simple as eating less food or never spooking or bucking. It also could be a negative trait of only liking their owner and disliking everyone else.
These rare horses don't necessarily have better stats, only that they have a range of good to bad stats like any other horse.
So where do you find these horses? They are hard to find and hard to catch. It may even take a coordinated team effort to catch these horses as they'll resist captvity with their strong wills. They hide out in the wilderness in hard to reach places with their own herds. You will have to go off the safe paths and look for them in dangerous areas as they'll most likely hang around there, safe from civilisation.
The actual life spans of rare horses will be the same as normal horses to prevent the rise of rare horses overtaking the general captive horse population. Rare horses have to remain rare over the given horse populuation. Also horse lifespans have to be shorter in order to counter the rise of super horses. The actual lifespans of horses have not been decided yet.
What are super horses and why would that be a concern in a horse game like Dash? Super horses are horses that are better in every way compared to normal horses you would find majority of the population. Why take a horse when you "have" to use your super horse? Going some where? Take a super horse because they'll be faster/eat less food/need less rest. Super horses over time would make other horses worthless to have if they are alive in sufficent number. If you can only compete if you have a super horse and not any other horse then you have a problem. The problem is being allowing super horses to exist and not the players who use the horses. It is a problem that will not happen in Dash.
Are rare horses super horses? No they are rare because of their colors or breed and colors. They may have one or two thing that makes them special but their stats are just like their regular horse counterpart. Rare horses aren't any better at things than other horses. Most likely they will be kept safe on a farm or in a stable away from the dangerous outside world. It would be considered stupid to risk your rare horse when any other horse can do the job of traveling to the next village or mail delivery which there will be a new post about that too!
It is possible to breed a rare horse? Yes even with normal horses there can be a very small chance a rare horse is born. The chance increases if a rare horse is breed with a normal horse. Now if you breed two rare horses together you end up with a much lower chance of a rare horse and a higher chance of a normal horse. But if you are lucky and odds are in your favor, you may end up with one of the only few dozen ultra rare horses. Those horses will be really rare and maybe only a dozen will ever exist.
Months back I promised to update everyone on the world size in Dash. Well I have a special treat to show you! The World Map as it was during the Halloween event!
It shows two villages, farmstead, the huge forest, a cave, desert, rivers that merge into one. Also it has the beginning of the mountains on top of the map. It easy to get lost in this map, especially in the forest. The only fast way to get around was to ride your horse and that what the map was made for! I think it was taking five minutes to ride from one end of the map to the other side assuming you had to go around obstacles and lost your direction once or twice.
The world is huge and it is only going to get bigger! We are forgetting to add in the whole city of Dash which is also located on a large river too. Not only will you be able to ride out in the wilds but also take your horse into the city too! The city of Dash is actually located west of this map by some distance.
I've disabled comments on the blog because of too much spam. As of now it is better to post your comments on facebook page instead of here. I will be posting new content on here and linking it from facebook so you won't be missing a thing!
World Size: How big will Dash Society be?
Sorry I missed last week that I was going to post on the new story. I have something exciting come up but not to worry story is still being worked on but it needs to be put aside for a couple days while I sort out this new thing. I can't announce it yet on this blog but I will.
On to the important stuff we have to talk about World Size in Dash Society or how big is the world going to be? What are the limitations on the size of the world in which wild horses roam about?
The two major limitations on world size is player loading the map at the start of their game session and the amount of blocks or squares in the world map. Currently the map contains about 20 thousand blocks give a take a few thousand. Blocks are divs or square boxes that browser use to assemble a layout on your screen in the browser. That is a basic layman's description of how blocks are used in Dash. Each block has a image that goes with it.
Well then how big is the actual world map? World has to be done in pixels because the browser uses pixel to represent the blocks or squares on the screen. Last time I guessed it was 120,000 x 120,000 that is 120 thousand pixels across and 120 thousand pixels tall. That is huge and it covers a very large area. To travel on horse from one side of the map to another would probably take five minutes while riding around obstacles. It has to be that big in order for the wild herds to be able to roam and hide in the landscape.
Along the way you'll encounter two other villages, rivers,lakes,forests,caves,desert and the mountains in the north. There will be quite a bit of exploring to do if you get lost. Getting lost out in the wilds will be quite dangerous for your horse and you of course. Most likely you'll end up back at the starting village with no horse or no items.
I would like to show a image of the map yet that would spoil too much. So later on I'll show a small section of the world map that you can view. The world map is still in the process of being built so it is not completed no where near 100% .
It is late now so I'll make a part 2 soon, very soon.
Posted on May 11, 2017 Categories NewsLeave a comment on World Size: How big will Dash Society be?
For the month of April I am gearing up production on Dash. I'll bring in new art and start laying out the world map which I'll show on here on this blog.
The very first thing that needs to be done is the back story for Dash Society. I been at it for awhile and most of what I have tried to try didn't work. It was simply to boring and uninteresting of a start and if I written it. I also had to explain it. Rewriting paragraphs didn't make the back story any better than it was before because it dealt with a big event that wasn't interesting in the first place.
Well I removed that major event and now it all flows together. There is no plague anymore. There is a large group of immigrants from the snowy mountains in the north that are looking for a new lands to settle and they travel through mountains for miles heading south and once they hit open grasslands they settle and found a new city called Horkarmennar. The city of light and hope for a new life and future. That is all I am going to spoil for now.
I hope you enjoyed this short blurb. I'll post more about it this week. I'll make a bigger post at least thousand words or so.
In traditional horse sim breeding becomes the main part of the game with bloodlines being formed with each new generation. Individual horses don't matter as only the best of the current generation get to past on their genes on to the next generation. Many horses are born and discarded for not having the desired traits and genes for use in breeding. We can consider this 90% of horses are being thrown away for only the 10% of horses for breeding.
Breeding a horse with subpar traits doesn't mean they'll breed a foal with better traits than the parents if the two pair are both have bad traits. Does breeding a subpar horse with one with superior traits make the foal any better? Yes and no, as it would be a sub optimal choice when a pair with both good traits can be breed to produce a foal with superior stats compared to their parents.
Dash will do things differently. Not all horses with high stats are good nor all horses with low stats are bad. Every horse will have a use or a role even if it is a simple, mundane one. For a good example a horse with high racing stats may not be ridden at all unless the horse is in a race as to prevent the chance of injury while other horses with lower stats can be used for getting around the world and pulling carts or wagons. Which leads to the next thing we'll talk about is breeding.
In order to combat the ever increasing number of horses; breeding in Dash Society will have to be much different from the typical horse sim. More horses will put ever increasing load on the server resulting in a slow laggy experience for players. To prevent this from happening we have to change the process of how breeding is been done in the past.
Gestation should happen in a month or two in order for several things to happen. First that the mare could miscarriage the foal preventing a increase of horses by one or the mare can get sick and die and decrease the population by two. Second the foal born could be a still born or have a disease will end up killing the foal in 24 hours therefore keeping the numbers down. Third the mother could hurt herself and die from injuries leaving the new foal an orphan and if not taken care will end up dying too.
All these things could be used to keep the number of active alive horses down and keep the server stable and lag free. A lengthy gestation with many causes of death will help with the numbers. While the foal is in gestation it is not active and so does not count against the server load. It is only when it is born and actively moving around on its own does the foal affect server load.
Breeders in the game can do many things to reduce the chances of sickness and injuries and death for mare and foal in the game to a smaller percentage. Yet breeding will always be a risky endeavor for mares if they are not properly taken care of even in the wild. That is all for now. If there are more questions I may do part 2 of breeding but right now I'm focusing on pathfinding again.
Horse personalities or how to make horses uniquely different.
I like to note that this post is speculative in nature as currently it is not in the schedule to implement personalities in the game yet. Maybe a few months down the road. Lets get started though and see what we are getting into!
Personalities are a way for horses to express themselves to the player. Giving a benefit of uniqueness to ones horse so stats aren't the only thing that make a horse worth using. Their behaviors can also be used to balance their stats and preventing super horses that are better than any horse out there except against other super horses.
Horses can be given a few personalities off the start when they are first born. There is a loner personality that makes a horse avoid large herds and prefer to be alone most of the time. Usually you won't find these in herds very much. There can be a hyper-active horse that bounces around too much from in and out of the herd. They tend to move around more and would make excellent chasing horses if you can pin them down!
Not all horses come with good personalities or useful ones. Sometimes a horse with a calm manner isn't the best horse to be good for races where a more active personality would be. Sometimes horses can be bad, espically ones with high stats that would be a good horse but takes the right hand and the right rider to set them straight or not.
Most horses stay in the middle of the road on personality wise. There are a few or rare extremes in the bunch. But if you look hard enough you can find the horse that matches you and has the attitude and stats to reach your goals. Now that is all I am going to say about personalities. There is mood and behaviors too that horses can display. At birth the personality is set in stone to prevent any wild moods swings that would probably annoy players to find their horses changing while under saddle. Not a fun situation to be in. It is best for them to remain as they are and wait for another horse to come around that'll match the owner's tastes more.
Up next I am going to talk about horse breeding and why it can be a problem. I hope to hear any comments or insights players would like into the Dash Society horse game 🙂 Thank you.

What is pathfinding and what does it have to do a with a horse game. Well I am here to tell you why it matters and how it works in Dash.
Pathfinding is a way for the horses in the game to find their way around obstacles and other horses. It is a way for herds to roam the landscape without being stuck on obstacles and for getting away from nearby players. Horses will have to dodge riders and obstacles and the terrain to get to where they want to be.
Without it, horses would have no common sense on how to move around the world and would be hopelessly stuck in places no living animal would be stuck in. A small boulder in a field with nothing around it could keep a horse stuck for hours as there is no pathing around it for the horse to follow. Earlier versions of Dash suffered from this issue many times in the past.
How do the wild herds work when they are on the move with 2 to 3 and up to 20 horses in one herd? They follow the lead or head horse usually the lead stallion while they navigate the map. The horses stay in the herd by sticking close to the lead horse and far enough apart so they don't trample each other. They move as one loosely cohesive group.


Panasonic was founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. That year, Panasonic introduced an improved attachment plug, which allowed people to power an electrical appliance from a light socket. Next was a double cluster socket that made it possible to power lights and appliances from a single source. Our principles of making life ever more comfortable originated from these small ideas.
Panasonic's 100th anniversary is upon us. To address the changing times, we continue to develop the products of the future worldwide, always cherishing the principles our founder defined for us one century ago.
Panasonic introduced its first washing machine in 1951. It symbolized liberation from the chore that consumed so much time. Enthusiasm towards better products led to a washing machine that included cleaning and drying functions with just the touch of a button. In 2003, Panasonic introduced a washer with tilted drum to make loading/unloading laundry easier while reducing water consumption. Following shortly was a model featuring ActiveFoam, generating superfine foam which drastically boosts washing performance. By continually introducing new technologies, Panasonic has led the trend in washing machine evolution. Going forward, Panasonic will continue to reduce the burden of household work while delivering even gentler cleaning and more beautifully finished results.
Panasonic introduced its first refrigerator in 1953. It soon became a symbol of the ideal lifestyle where family members could enjoy fresh produce and delicious food. Eating a wider variety of foods than ever before in the 1970s, over 90% of households in Japan came to own a refrigerator. Even after refrigerators became a part of daily life, they continued to evolve. Perfect temperature control for perishable foods was what people were looking for. In support of the growing food culture and its new needs, Panasonic introduced partial freezing, which helps keep perishable foods fresh even longer. Going forward, Panasonic will continue to address the needs of the era while helping families enjoy delicious food.
In 1952, Panasonic introduced its first TV, which delivered black-and-white broadcasts. Its TVs drew people in like never before to the new world of audiovisual entertainment. Live, color broadcasts of the Tokyo Olympics largely helped to spur sales of the new color TVs. People also started wanting more out of their TV experience, selecting models with multiple speakers for more advanced sound and models with large screens for more exciting viewing. Recently, Panasonic's newest 4K OLED TV stunned viewers with its incredibly realistic image quality, delivering a more compelling visual experience than ever before. With advanced and refined TV technologies, Panasonic is again ready to help families everywhere enjoy the thrills and emotions of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games.
Panasonic launched its first room air conditioner in 1958. This was the model that initiated Panasonic's leadership in developing comfortable air control systems. For comfort, households rapidly adopted room air conditioners both in summer and winter. Amid the social trend towards a more health-conscious lifestyle, Panasonic introduced an air conditioner featuring nanoe™, which employs the purifying power of water. The next Panasonic pursuit of air-conditioned environment comfort led to models featuring indirect airflow. Airflow towards the walls and ceiling created natural comfort. Panasonic air conditioners will continue to evolve for the better.
Panasonic hair dryers are a favorite around the world. It all began with the launch of the company's first model in 1937 at a time when allowing hair to dry naturally was the usual approach. Succeeding products were continually sharpened to meet the consumers' need to dry hair more quickly and efficiently. Smooth, shiny, and healthy hair is what consumers living in the 21st century are expecting from their hair dryers. Always seeing beyond existing technologies, Panasonic consistently establishes new types of hair dryers through what is achieved in research, namely the recent development of nanoe™ technology. Hair drying technologies of Panasonic will never stop evolving.
Panasonic launched its first cylinder vacuum cleaner in 1958, helping reduce the time required to complete housework. As Japan's homes continued to evolve, the demand for vacuum cleaners also grew. Dust sensors developed by Panasonic detected dust that human eyes could not see, adding visual elements to vacuum cleaners. Dust detection still remains the core of Panasonic's vacuum cleaning technology today. The year 2015 marked our first robotic vacuum cleaners, the culmination of 30 years' worth of technological development. Cleaning the entire surface of a room, this product has taken labor savings to the next stage by eliminating the need for human intervention. Going forward, Panasonic will continue to develop unique technologies to make keeping the home cleaning easier than ever.
Launched in 1964, Panasonic's stereo console "Asuka" earned acclaim not only for its outstanding sound quality but also for its design as a fine piece of furniture. Then, in 1965, Panasonic launched its first product under the Technics brand. Offering stable rpms for precise sound reproduction, the technology became a worldwide broadcasting standard. In 2015, Panasonic launched the premium all-in-one HiFi stereo system "OTTAVA™." The system delivers truly fine Technics sound in a compact package with a stunning design. With its audio technologies constantly adopting new media, Panasonic has worked to reproduce sound with the greatest fidelity possible and help listeners get a sense of the artist's true intentions. Audiophiles everywhere continue to appreciate the difference.
Panasonic introduced its first microwave oven in 1963 eliminating a great deal of the labor required to prepare meals. Succeeding models came with convection oven heating and uplifted microwaves to a multi-function home appliance. Eventually, people would turn to microwave ovens not only for convenience but also enhanced flavor. Panasonic responded to the demand with the microwave oven with inverter technology, which made extremely precise heating control possible. Today, the inverter remains a core technology in Panasonic microwaves. Microwave ovens started out as a simple way to heat food, but they are now advanced cooking tools appreciated by amateurs and pros alike. Panasonic is dedicated to applying advanced technology to enhance cooking into the future.
Panasonic introduced its first consumer video camera and portable recorder in 1982, giving people the freedom to record their lives. Later models continued to become more compact and lightweight. Also, electronic image stabilization made it easier than ever to record their lives' most important events on videotape. Panasonic would go on to leverage its video camera technologies in its compact digital cameras. In combination with easy-to-use controls, advanced image stabilization and refined video recording technologies put professional-level video capability in everyone's hands. Today, select Panasonic cameras can shoot video in astounding 4K. Panasonic's leading-edge recording and playback technology mean that memories are preserved with the greatest clarity and realism.


• 1933 ~ The theme song was Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here and it opened the National Barn Dance. The half-hour country music and comedy show, originally heard on WLS, Chicago since 1924, moved to the NBC Blue network this night. National Barn Dance was broadcast from the Eighth Street Theater in Chicago, where the stage was transformed into a hayloft every Saturday night. The host was Joe Kelly. Uncle Ezra was played by Pat Barrett who was known to say, "Give me a toot on the tooter, Tommy," as he started dancing. A few of the other Barn Dance characters were Arkie, the Arkansas Woodchopper; Pokey Martin; the Hoosier Hotshots; the Prairie Ramblers; cowgirl, Patsy Montana; Pat Buttram; Lulu Belle and the Cumberland Road Runners. Gene Autry and Red Foley were heard early in their careers on National Barn Dance. Although there were plenty of sponsors (Alka Seltzer, One-A-Day vitamins, Phillips Milk of Magnesia), the National Barn Dance was one of the few radio shows to charge admission!
• 1935 ~ "Summertime … and the livin' is easy." Porgy and Bess was presented for the first time, at the Colonial Theatre in Boston. It was a flop! It was revived in 1942. It wasn't a flop that time. It ran longer than any revival in the history of U.S. musical theater.
• 1941 ~ The Larry Clinton Orchestra recorded their version of That Solid Old Man, on Bluebird Records.
• 1954 ~ Julie Andrews, who would later become a household name in movies, TV and on records, opened on Broadway for the first time. The future star of The Sound of Music appeared in The Boy Friend this night.
• 1977 ~ President Jimmy Carter designated October as the official country music month.
• 2003 ~ Ronnie Dawson, the rock singer known as the "Blonde Bomber," died. He was 64. Dawson was diagnosed in 2002 with throat cancer but continued to perform. One of his last gigs was an emotional performance at the Rockabilly Rave festival in England in February. He enthralled fans at the Big D Jamboree in the 1950s and at Carnegie Hall in the 1990s. Among Dawson's songs as a teenager in the 1950s wereAction Packed and I Make the Love. He was famous for live performances where he would jump from the stage, run through the audience and play his guitar while standing on a table. In the late 1950s, Dawson recast himself as an R&B artist named Snake Monroe, signed briefly with Columbia Records, and then joined the local Western swing pioneers the Light Crust Doughboys. In the 1960s, he packed the Levee Club with the Levee Singers, a folk act that appeared nationally on "The Danny Kaye Show" and "The Jimmy Dean Show." After the Levee Singers broke up, he formed a country band, Steel Rail, and later sang television and radio jingles.
• 2003 ~ Robert LaMarchina, conductor of the Honolulu Symphony from 1967 to 1978, died. He was 75. Born in New York City, Robert LaMarchina began studying the cello at the age of 7. At 8, he made his first appearance as a solo cellist with the St. Louis Symphony. LaMarchina was 15 when famed conductor Arturo Toscanini hired him to perform with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. LaMarchina made is first appearance as a conductor in 1951 in Japan in the Fujiwara Opera's production of "Madame Butterfly". He later taught music at Indiana University, traveled with the Ambassadors of Opera and conducted operas on the West Coast.

Joe Biden TERRIFIED As 'ISIS-K' Slaughters Patients in Afghan Hospital: 'You Empowered Us'
August 26, 2021 Sean Adl-Tabatabai Middle East, News 17
Twitter223FacebookLinkedInEmailRedditTelegram
ISIS are back and they are more deadly than ever before, thanks to Joe Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
Dressed in white coats and pretending to be doctors, three young ISIS fighters walked into Kabul's 400-bed Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital and made their way to the upper floors.
Then they began slaughtering dozens of doctors and patents as they threw hand grenades, and fired AK47's at the terrified civilians.
By the time they were done, over 30 doctors and patients had been killed and nearly 100 more wounded.
Dailymail.co.uk reports: Further casualties included the three attackers, who were shot by Afghan special forces, plus the original suicide bomber, and a fifth member of the terror gang who had detonated a car bomb inside the hospital complex.
Their brazen and pitiless attack, which unfolded in broad daylight one afternoon in March 2017, was carried out in the name of ISIS-K, a local branch of the notorious global terror network.
Founded in 2015, its followers aim to establish an Islamic caliphate across Khorasan (hence the initial 'K') – a historic region covering Pakistan and Afghanistan along with parts of Central Asia.
The terror group is now such a threat that fear of an attack by Isis-K is being used to justify the US's refusal to delay its withdrawal from Kabul Airport after the August 31 deadline set by Joe Biden.
In a statement released on Tuesday night, the US President claimed: 'Every day we're on the ground is another day we know that ISIS-K is seeking to target the airport and attack both US and allied forces and innocent civilians.'
The White House seems to believe ISIS-K (who regard the Taliban as dangerous liberals) is about to organise a wave of attacks in an effort to destabilise its efforts to form a government.
If so, then any foreign troops, including soldiers from Britain's 16 Air Assault Brigade currently guarding Kabul airport, would represent very high-profile targets indeed.
The organisation has already carried out roughly 100 attacks against civilian targets and another 250 involving US, Afghan or Pakistani security services, most of them chronicled via macabre mobile phone videos then gleefully broadcast via the internet.
One particularly vile film, circulated in June 2017, celebrated the work of a group of child recruits to ISIS-K known as the 'cubs of the caliphates'.
The film showed two of them – both dressed in black and seemingly under 12 years of age – forcing terrified captives to kneel on the ground.
They proceeded to pull back the heads of the men (who were apparently accused of spying), rant at the camera and execute them via a single shot to the skull.
More recently, in May this year, ISIS-K killed at least 68 Afghans and injured another 165 when they detonated three car bombs outside the Syed Al-Shahda school for girls in Kabul.
The vast majority of the victims were young pupils the Islamist group regard as legitimate targets for the sin of being educated while being female.
The attack, which came after a period in which Western air strikes had killed thousands of the terror network's supporters and at least three of its leaders, served as a bloody reminder of its ongoing ability to bring carnage to the streets of Afghanistan.
The very fact that a US President is admitting that his policy is being governed by a perceived threat from ISIS-K represents a major coup for a hitherto fairly low-profile organisation.
It first made headlines in January 2016, when the Pentagon announced that the group had been designated as a Foreign Terrorist organisation.
This made assisting them a criminal offence and allowed US troops on the ground to actively pursue members (under previous terms of engagement they usually had to wait until the group attacked them before responding).
The organisation's chosen first Emir, or leader, was a former Pakistani Taliban commander called Hafiz Saeed Khan.
His foot-soldiers were largely people who had defected from the Taliban as was his canny PR chief, Sheikh Maqbool, who was charged with ensuring that the group's grisly attacks gained worldwide attention.
They were appointed at the behest of ISIS's (then) top dog Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was facing difficulties in his stomping grounds of Syria and Iraq, so began funnelling cash to Khan in order to establish a new stronghold in the East.
Initially, their activities were limited to suicide bombings and small arms attacks targeting civilians, along with the odd kidnapping, but that was enough to prompt close attention from the US, who succeeded in killing Khan via a drone strike in July 2016.
His successor Abdul Hasib masterminded the hospital attack mentioned above, and was famed for both ordering fighters to behead local elders in front of their families, and to kidnap women and girls so they could be forced to 'marry' his fighters, that is, become sex slaves.
He perished in a special forces raid on his compound in which two US troops died in April 2017.
Later that month, the US dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in its arsenal – a GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) also known as the 'Mother Of All Bombs' – on a key ISIS-K cave and tunnel system in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province. Around 100 of their troops perished.
A series of drone strikes then wiped out both of Hasib's successors, Abu Sayed and Abu Saad Orakzai, and roughly 80 per cent of the group's troops, reducing their estimated strength from between three and four thousand to under 800 followers by the end of 2018.
Yet like so many militant groups in the benighted history of Afghanistan, they have since proved almost impossible to eliminate completely.
The deaths of successive leaders have ended up being largely symbolic, since they have been quickly replaced by experienced peers shipped in from other ISIS strongholds.
New foot-soldiers have been recruited via slick propaganda videos outlining its global aspirations to create an Islamist caliphate across Asia, governed by Sharia law, before eventually '[raising] the banner of al-Uqab above Jerusalem and the White House'.
This ambition equates to the defeat of both Israel and the United States (and therefore the imposition of their twisted view of life on those countries).
The group's current leader is believed to be Shahab al-Muhajir, also known as Sanaullah.
A United Nations report published in February said that he took over in June 2020.
The communiqué announcing the appointment, written in Arabic and translated into Pashto, referred to al-Muhajir as an experienced military leader and one of the 'urban lions' of ISIL-K in Kabul who had been 'involved in guerrilla operations and the planning of suicide and complex attacks.'
While Sanaullah's reign may be bad news for Afghans, he's currently thought to have little to no capacity for mounting terror attacks in the West.
He is instead focusing on a mission to rid Afghanistan and other parts of its home territory of foreign 'crusaders' who 'proselytize Muslims' as well as 'apostates'.
That in turn may explain why America is so anxious to withdraw from Kabul: once US troops are home, they are no longer in his organisation's firing line.
For the Afghans left behind, escaping ISIS-K's reign of terror will not be nearly so simple.

Chief oncologist Lu Yu medical clinic at Sichuan University (Sichuan University) made a sensational statement. Scientists were allowed to experimental studies of the human genome. Earlier, the Chinese have already restored the defective gene that triggers the development of hereditary haemoglobinopathies - sickle-cell anemia. Researchers have attempted to artificially introduce the fetus "correct" DNA molecule. Of the 89 embryos could survive only 28, 4 of them have reached the planned result.
The new experiment will start in August 2016. The goal - to change people's T-cells, which are found in cancer. Editing lymphocytes researchers want to launch a program of destruction of atypical cancer units in the body. CRISPR-Cas9 mechanism will be used in changing the DNA of the immune system. Withdrawn for the study of T-cells undergo extraction controlling expression of the protein PD-1, located on their surface. It helps to communicate with atypical lymphocytes cells, provoking the growth of cancerous tumors.
Taken from the blood of patients with lung cancer samples planned to be cultured in the laboratory, after which the cells are returned to their rightful owners. Lu Yu says that the removal of PD-1 molecule will allow include protective mechanisms. This will happen by analogy with the machine, where the ignition key immediately activates a complex mechanism. Modified T lymphocytes after transformation can attack tumors by destroying tumors and purifying from an organism a malicious infection.
Drugs that inhibit this process and have received FDA approval - Keytruda Opdivo and gave hope to the activation of the immune system against more cancers.
Such studies inspire fears that DNA editing will be applied on embryos. This will make it possible to produce "designer" babies with well-programmed life-support system. On the other hand, the experiment is a step on the way to getting rid of cancer. This will create a mechanism for neutralizing the disease in the human body.

ROOF SAFETY IN AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES SHOWS INADEQUACY IN STRENGTH STANDARDS
There is growing concern over roof safety in American automobiles. Serious injury and death have resulted from accidents involving rollovers, with more than 10,000 deaths a year. When vehicles roll, their roofs hit the ground, deform, and crush. Stronger roofs crush and can also prevent occupants, especially those who aren't using safety belts, from being ejected through windows, windshields, or doors that have broken or opened because the roof has deformed. Roofs that don't collapse help keep people inside vehicles as they roll.
The federal government has not paid enough attention to this aspect of car manufacturing. As a result, we have been unacceptably below roof crush standards. Continual delays and inaction by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have caused a proliferation of low standard, out-of-date and unrealistic roof crush tests, and even caused the suppression of rollover test videos. In 2006, a report from the U.S. Consumer watchdog group Public Citizen was published comparing the outcome of a rollover between a Volvo XC 90 and a Ford Explorer.
Unfortunately, American roof crush standards have not been upgraded since 2006. The tests were performed on the Jordan Rollover System (JRS) which was sponsored by the Santo Family Foundation. The test was not conducted by NHTSA because the government measures roof strength with a "static crush" test, in which a slow moving metal plate bears down on the automobile. An automobile's roof passes if the roof can withstand one times the vehicle's weight worth of pressure. The more realistic JRS test simulated a multiple rollover. The maximum intrusion on the Volvo's roof was 2.6 inches and peak roof intrusion velocity was less than four miles per hour. Its dummy occupants escaped serious injury in multiple rollovers.
In contrast, the Ford Explorer recorded a dangerous score of 11.5 inches and peak roof intrusion velocity was 12 mph, exceeding the known thresholds for death and serious injury. Because of the Explorer's poor performance, Ford sought and received protective orders in 24 courts. The protective orders effectively concealed the test video from the public. Now, however, the results of these tests are available to the public.
The study confirmed that vehicles that had poor results in the JRS have been shown to perform poorly in real life. Delays continue from the NHTSA in issuing new and improved roof crush safety standards, with their contention that automobile manufacturers are not in a position to raise their standards. The domestic car companies have asked the federal government to bail them out making major headlines this year. Hopefully, the automobile companies will be encouraged to manufacture cars that the public wants, with an emphasis on safety as well as performance.

They arrived at the Cocoa Beach Cruise Night in their gleaming '66 Chevelle Malibu. Bill and Katie Posey were excited to help kick-off the first leg of the Hot Rod Power Tour with a barbecue before the next day's drive to Valdosta, Georgia. They were with friends and fellow enthusiasts, and it was the perfect occasion to announce Posey's new leadership position in Washington.
Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) has always been a strong advocate on behalf of the automotive specialty-equipment industry. In his free time outside of Washington, Rep. Posey can be found turning the wrenches on his cars in his Florida home district. When in Washington, Posey affirms his love for motorsports with photos of his cars and his racing days in his office on Capitol Hill. Being named co-chair of the Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus is a natural fit for him.

Energy Challenges Facing the United States
I am not the world's greatest authority on the subject of cars and propulsion systems, but I'm probably pretty high on the list in Congress. Some people want cars to go away entirely. Others think we are headed to all electrics, all hybrids or fuel cells. Of course, there are 130 million cars and trucks in the United States today, which are almost entirely powered by gasoline.

Introduction: Xenotransplantation (XTx) could be the solution to the lack of transplantable organs. Recently, great progress has been made in XTx research and there are currently >26 different genetically-engineered (GE) pigs. The most complex GE pig contains six different gene knock-outs or -ins. However, no researcher knows what would be the best genetic combination for XTx. The production of GE pigs is very expensive and would be quite time consuming for each genetic combination. Capitalizing on a new 3D bioprinting technology, we propose to use GE cells to generate a scaffold-free 3D pig liver tissue constructs, which can be used to study human immunological and coagulative responses in a time and cost-effective way.
Methods: A step-wise model for 3DBP was developed which included (i) determination of optimal size of spheroids, (ii) determination of optimal time of spheroid formation and stability, (iii) designing and printing of the most suitable 3D structure, and (iv) determination of viability of the 3D-bioprinted structure. The optimization of 3DBP was also based on (i) porcine hepatocyte isolation; (ii) cell aggregate (spheroid) diameter, roundness, smoothness, durability, stability, and viability; (iii) the ratio and combination of different cell types; (iv) and the assembly (printing) of tissue constructs using spheroids.
Results: Using a combination of porcine fetal fibroblasts and liver derived cells (LDCs, CD31+) (10:1 ratio), 450- 500μm diameter spheroids were generated after 2-3 days of plating and successfully used to print 3 preliminary constructs (Fig.1). These 2 cell-type 3D-bioprinted constructs were later tested for their viability/structure after 1, 2, and 3 weeks of printing (Fig.1). Next, a combination of fibroblasts, hepatocytes, and LDCs (2:1:0.1 ratio) formed spheroids 5 days after plating and were then used to print our first 3 cell-type construct. Most of the spheroids remained intact in this 3 cell-type constructs. After incubation for an additional 5 days, this 3-cell construct fused and formed a stable 3D structure. Histology (H&E staining) shows promising results.
Conclusion: We have successfully printed a scaffold-free 3D Bioprinted Porcine Liver Model containing hepatocytes, liver derived endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Further cell ratio optimization is required to produce functional spheroids capable of forming a more stable construct in the future. Using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, desired GE pig cells will be printed for future constructs which will allow us to explore the immunogenic and coagulative properties of pig tissues in the human body.

As you all know, I'm completely fond of wraps! And I usually put really weird stuff in my wraps. This time we went for so tasty lentils balls, a soya bolognese tomato sauce, and kohlrabi roesti and fresh veggies.
But before starting the wraps feast we had some little tomato and feta Provençal tasty jelly. I love these evenings when we have so much of little bites of so many different things…Yummy.
Tonight, I was feeling lonely and shuffled through my cupboards to see what was left. I'm not buying long life ingredients when I finish them as we are going to leave at the end of next month. I found these forgotten lentils and dreamed of an easy heart warming hot lentils pots with white Arborio rice toped with my favourite homemade furitake.
When, Bear came back home tired from a hard day at work, he gently made himself comfortable in my arms and appreciated this little quickly made and so easy meal full with love. Maybe this is the mysterious ingredient which made this lentil pot so tasty?
no waste. But, it's a real challenge to put together a bento. Being in Poland and in winter we mostly rely on cabbage, and I have to use cunning to come out with another recipe to prepare them in order not to get bored. This time I came up with some little patties flavoured with miso.
I also prepared some little nugget balls of white beans that I spiced up with chilli pepper and thyme!
I know that this photo is not the best way to advertise the vegetarian pâté I made up. But, I was so happy with the taste of the one I had been offered for Christmas that I wanted to have a go and do some my own. The base is humus that I flavoured with olives and paprika. This was a really good experiment! I made some more for this week-end sandwiches with fresh veggies from the market!
I'm ill…so little cooking this week.


Double Helix Collective is an interdisciplinary new media performance project by Sabrina Lastman (Sound) and Petronio Bendito (Visuals). The collective explores visual poetics of the intersection of music, light, shadow, drawing, software, videoart, ritual, improvisation and poetry. In the performances, body and technology are in constant figure/ground negotiation. Central to its aesthetics is the notion of human and digital processes as a way to reclaim the physicality and accountability of the human expressive experience in a world increasingly automated.
The minicards and notepads are individually customized. Each piece is a variation of a theme. The works vary from 3"x5" up to 5"x7" and is signed with the artist initials and dated. Each excerpt is accompanied by a back sheet which included brief statement about the artist and the color code series.
In the COLOR CODE series I explore computational processes to generate expressive color palettes while raising questions about digital color aesthetic.
Through my Computational Color Design research I develop algorithmic methods to produce color palettes for RGB and CMYK outputs. For the "Color Code, Algorithmic Lines" series I use a hybrid process of creation that combines mathematical and intuitive approaches for self-expression. I have found that color palettes generated from RGB planes and cuboids, despite being structurally simple, can produce sophisticated and expressive color palettes. Formalistically I orchestrate via color and shape visual solutions that propose a unified reading of extremes: balance and chaos; light and darkness; structure and spontaneity… I believe that procedural colors will play a major role in art and design color selection processes in the 21st Century.

Major Dundee is een Amerikaanse western uit 1965 geregisseerd door Sam Peckinpah. Het was Peckinpahs eerste film gemaakt met een groot budget en was ook de eerste film waarin Peckinpah in de problemen kwam met het studiosysteem. De zware eisen die Peckinpah aan deze film stelde en zijn nonchalante houding naar de producers toe gaven hem op de set voor het eerst zijn slechte naam in Hollywood. Daarnaast werd deze film de eerste die van hem afgepakt was en niet goed volgens hem gemonteerd was. In 2005 kwam een herziene versie van de film uit waar veel van het weggemonteerde materiaal weer in teruggeplaatst was.

Verhaal

Gevangenisbewaarder Dundee (Heston) gaat met een leger van gevangenen,ex-slaven en gevangenisbewaarders op jacht naar de indiaan Sierra Chariba die met zijn stam een peloton van het Amerikaans leger heeft uitgemoord en een paar kinderen van kolonisten hebben ontvoerd. Maar al snel krijgen ze behalve met de indianen ook problemen met het Franse leger en de mensen uit zijn zelf samengestelde leger geleid door een voormalig deserteur (Harris) die wraak wil.

Q: Debugging in Azure DevOps Yaml Pipeline I have below PowerShell script in my Yaml pipeline, where I am trying to add Path in environmental variable Path, I am not getting any error but my test cases is failing which is dependent on one of the path variable I am setting below.
Is there a way if I can debug and see what all path has been added to my path variable below. If yes how can I see it?? as my test cases pass locally when setting the path env variable.
- powershell: |
      Set-Variable -Name PATH -Value "$env:PATH;$(IppRoot)\redist\intel64_win\ipp;$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\Project_x64-$(osSuffix)\bin;$(Build.BinariesDirectory);$(LibFT4222Root)/imports/LibFT4222/dll/amd64"
      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=PATH]$PATH"
      displayName:  'Add binaries to PATH on Win'
      condition:    eq(variables['Agent.OS'], 'Windows_NT')

A: You can add another step after it and just print all the environment variables:
- task: CmdLine@2
  inputs:
    script: 'set'

Now you can check if it's indeed added to the Path in the previous task.
By the way, to add a new value to the PATH you can use a special logging command:
Write-Host ##vso[task.prependpath]c:\my\directory\path

Ford to only sell all-electric vehicles in Europe by 2030
The investment will transform the existing vehicle assembly operations into the Ford Cologne Electrification center for manufacturing EVs. Source: Ford
On the heels of Ford's announcement that it would expand its investment in electric vehicles (EVs) to $22 billion, the automotive giant is committing to transform 100% of Ford's passenger vehicle range in Europe to zero-emissions capable by 2030.
This includes all-electric, plug-in hybrids and other types of zero-emissions vehicles. By 2024, Ford said its entire commercial vehicle range will be zero-emissions capable, all-electric or plug-in hybrid with two-thirds of its commercial vehicle sales expected to be all-electric or plug-in hybrid by 2030.
Ford said it is taking this step toward electrification based on consumer demand and growing regulations, calling for more emissions friendly vehicles.
"We successfully restructured Ford of Europe and returned to profitability in the fourth quarter of 2020," said Stuart Rowley, president of Ford Europe. "Now we are charging into an all-electric future in Europe with expressive new vehicles and a world-class connected customer experience."
The growth in Europe was led by a $1 billion improvement in structural costs and the creation of a more targeted vehicle line up with its strategic alliance with Volkswagen and its Ford Otosan joint venture. Part of this investment is to modernize its vehicle assembly facility in Cologne, Germany, one of the largest manufacturing centers in Europe and headquarters of Ford Europe.
The investment will transform the existing vehicle assembly operations into the Ford Cologne Electrification center for manufacturing EVs. It will be the first such facility in Europe for Ford. Ford also said it will build the first European-built all-electric passenger vehicle that will be produced in the facility starting in 2023, with potentially a second all-electric vehicle to be built there as well.
"Our announcement today to transform our Cologne facility, the home of our operations in Germany for 90 years, is one of the most significant Ford has made in over a generation," Rowley said. "It underlines our commitment to Europe and a modern future with electric vehicles at the heart of our strategy for growth."
Ford said additional details regarding its electrification plan in Europe will be available in the coming months.
The move to accelerate electrification is happening quickly in the first few months of 2021 with General Motors vowing to phase out its gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035 and move to all-electric models. Other companies such as Volkswagen have already made this pledge and automotive OEMs are also following suit including Jaguar and Daimler.
Simultaneously, infrastructure is being developed to meet demand with new charging stations planned for construction in the next 10 years, including the Biden Administration's plans to build 550,000 EV stations in the coming years.
