Nathan For YouSeason 2
"Daddy's Watching/Party Planner"
Nathan begins one of tonight's segments by peeking out from behind a tree and letting out a tiny yelp. Fielder, the comedian, often gives Nathan, the character, odd bits of physical business when he's opening a segment—filigrees of awkwardness that sometimes have something to do with the topic at hand but are just as likely to be non-sequiturs. In a segment a couple weeks ago, for instance, Nathan kicks off an interview with the owner of a maid service by shaking hands and then noting he likes to greet people with a weak handshake to establish that he's not a threat.
Even back when he was doing brief "Nathan On Your Side" segments on the Canadian show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Fielder would pepper in these peculiarities. While Nathan's introducing an "On Your Side" lie-detector piece, he pauses briefly to wipe something off on his jacket. As he sets up a segment on comedy in the workplace—embedded below—Nathan grabs his own hand to keep himself from forwarding an email, and then he calmly refuses to let go. (I also love the split-second appearance of an orange at the end.)
Although they might seem disposable, these off-kilter moments lend depth to Nathan. If the premise of the character were merely that he's an awkward guy who shouldn't be on TV, Nathan For You would be monotonous, like an extended Saturday Night Live sketch. Nathan isn't just awkward. He's a fleshed-out character who sees the world through a strange, unpredictable lens, and when Fielder has a spare second or two to show us the view through that lens, he doesn't waste the opportunity. Case in point: After his initial greeting in the park, as he walks away from the tree, he gives an almost imperceptible shrug to the camera, like he's asking us, "Did that do anything for you? No?" You can see the post-peekaboo discomfort wash over him in his meek attempt to salvage the moment. This whole sequence takes about three seconds, yet it gives us a funny glimpse into Nathan's mind. Fielder is spellbindingly good at developing and inhabiting the psyche of his persona.
The funniest experiment of tonight's Nathan For You doesn't even garner a mention in the episode's title. It's a motivational program that threatens participants with tangible shame, in the form of a humiliating photograph mailed to someone they know, if they fail to meet their weight-loss goals. The scheme is essentially a weaponization of the cringe factor that underlies much of the show's humor. When we watch the show, we cringe at Nathan's more socially transgressive antics because we're vicariously embarrassed for the people involved. If you buy into Nathan's plan, though, you run the risk of experiencing the embarrassment firsthand.
Nathan's recruits are all too eager to blackmail themselves. When he invites them to come up with a scenario that would maximize their potential humiliation, they all appear to be game. Fred, for instance, imagines that it would be especially painful for his kids to learn that he was cheating on their mother with another woman. George, the "retired war veteran," thinks that Nathan's nude-man-in-a-hot-dog idea would be a good motivator for him, and he happily insists that he become a human frankfurter as well. Fielder is so delighted that he momentarily breaks character, laughing and asking George, "Really?" The strangeness of Nathan's perspective is reliably amplified by the willingness of regular people to buy into it.
Self-blackmail proves to be a remarkable motivator for slimming down—in the short term, at least—as almost all of Nathan's recruits meet their goal of losing five pounds in two weeks. Fred is so worried about traumatizing his kids, in fact, that he sheds 13 pounds. But poor Treacy (I'm guessing on the spelling) falls a single pound short. So she has to present a Jewish attorney at her firm with a photo of herself sticking her tongue out, pretending a banana is her penis, and holding up a sign that reads, "I HATE JEWS." Treacy's colleague, to his credit, responds with restrained, lawyerly eloquence: "To submit something like this to a Jewish member of the firm—a longstanding member her, for 35 years—it's very hard for me to think kindly of you or to give you the benefit of the doubt."
Nathan For You may be cringe-inducing and sometimes even provocative, but it's not cruel. So now that Treacy has been humiliated, thus fulfilling her end of the bargain, Nathan does his best to save her reputation. While he's sticking up for Treacy, though, there's also a meta-game at work. Nathan convinced four people to go along with his somewhat deranged scheme, but those four all had a stake in it. Michael Cohen, attorney at law, has no such stake. So the challenge for Nathan is to see whether he can get Cohen to buy in, too. "Anybody that did hate Jews wouldn't care about that photo being sent out," Nathan argues, employing the kind of logic that reaches around its back to touch its bellybutton. Yet with time, Nathan and Treacy actually convince Cohen. "If it's for weight loss," Cohen says, "then I would accept it. It's a motivator!" This line is followed by a smash cut to the credits, and we're left to ponder what other atrocities a respectable lawyer might accept in the name of a colleague losing five pounds.
The Dating DNA experiment deals with the slippery nature of "safety." Nathan argues to Dating DNA's founder and CEO, Kevin Carmony, that the reason men outnumber women on his site is "because they think the person they meet up with could potentially be a killer and murder them." Carmony blanches at the condescending nature of Nathan's solution—a first-date surveillance program called "Daddy's Watching"—but Nathan corners him by insisting that it would be bad PR to say anything bad about something that keeps women safe. (This is an oft-used, formidable trick in Nathan's arsenal: threaten a sensible, well-meaning person with an angry public who will misconstrue his words.) If people will accept anti-Semitism in the name of weight loss, after all, then surely they can accept paternalism in the name of women's safety. And so Carmony does, despite himself.
But that's nothing. As the stunt develops, we see that, paradoxically, people will accept actual danger to keep themselves safe. The allure of enjoying peace of mind is apparently so great that a safety-minded dater will agree to surveillance by Mark, the amateur security enforcer who Nathan finds on Craigslist. (With his nervous manner, incoherent yet unerring confidence, and multiple techniques for "putting you out," Mark is a real-life Dwight Schrute.) Nathan tells Polly, Bachelorette No. 2, that he has given Mark "your personal information, your address, your name, photographs, social [security number]" in case Mark needs to "track you down." To this she says, "Okay."
In other words, when presented with a flesh-and-bones manifestation of her supposed fears, Polly shrugs. All that matters is that Nathan implanted a worry and then provided a means to get rid of that worry. It's very funny, but this kind of mind game is prevalent in our society: Here's something that could hurt you, and here's our paid solution for warding it off. Polly's folly is a common one. We tend to assume that the self-appointed authority who knows about a problem also knows how to solve it. Nathan lays that stupidity bare.
The cleverest idea of the night is the spam-filter-exploiting party invitation system. Nathan turns a common annoyance of our day—"Did you check your spam?"—into a social lubricant that could benefit party planner Veronique Assouline. Although Assouline is dubious, Nathan's freelance web developer throws himself into the project. He comes up with a few simple but ingenious methods, like routing messages through a Russian server and inserting hidden spammy keywords, to ensure that invitations for unwanted invitees will be treated as spam on the receiving end. And even if Nathan questions some of the programmer's keyword choices—"1-inch penis" comes in for ridicule—it's amusing to find that this scheme is even possible.
Yet the people whose invitations end up in the spam folder are actually the lucky ones if Nathan's throwing the party. The centerpiece of this experiment is an interlude during which a Beverly Hills party planner is made to sit through the world's worst party. She sits alone in a room with Nathan as he asks questions like, "Do you speak French, or is it just the accent you do?" After we see how an experienced party professional tries to worm her way out of a dull affair—haltingly and unconvincingly, just like the rest of us—Veronique's anguish deepens with the arrival of the entertainment. The Bill Gates impersonator who we met in "Souvenir Shop/E.L.A.I.F.F." is back, and his whole magnificent monologue deserves to be reproduced in full:
It's really great to be here. There's nothing like a party. You know, you work hard all your life. Especially when you're trying to get Microsoft working. Microsoft! What would we have done without it? In the office days, older office days, in the '80s, you had big computers in a room. I mean, enormous! And look at the technology now. It takes a inventive mind to run and invent this Microsoft, and I'm very happy.
At this, Nathan gives Bill some uncertain applause. Then Veronique claps. Finally, hilariously, Bill claps too, not knowing what else to do with himself. When human beings are lost and confused, they look to see what the other guy is doing. Nathan For You depends on it.
Among the most reliable laughs on Nathan For You come when Nathan chimes in with a voiceover that directly contradicts what we just saw. Most episodes features at least one instance of "He loved the idea!" after someone grudgingly agrees to Nathan's scheme. Another highlight tonight came after Mark, the "daddy"-for-hire, tells Polly—repeatedly and with escalating creepiness—that he intends to tuck her into bed. "Mark made Polly feel safe," Nathan intones.
The comedy of the first "Daddy's Watching" encounter is heightened by the fact that Kamarin's date, Cody, couldn't be more unthreatening if he tried. In fact, with her various government conspiracy theories—including some standard 9/11 trutherism and a notion that Barack Obama engineers school shootings to "get rid of guns"—Cody appears more unnerved by Kamarin than the other way around. I hope this seemingly sweet guy finds the love he's looking for.
Then again, Cody's Dating DNA profile lists him as nearly seven feet tall with a weight of 103 pounds, so maybe he's not always such a straight shooter.
"Looking for strong, responsible men for security work. (Burkas provided.)" How did this ad garner only one recruit?
Nathan's Looking For Susan screenplay—which appears to consist mostly of scenes in which people look for a woman named Susan—includes characters named Jack, Lo Lo La, Mr. Veal, Craig, Jimmy, Fillipe, and Francois. Also, Lo Lo La is some sort of "finger cymbalist."
When Nathan clumsily picks up Veronique Assouline's little dog only to have the dog yip at him, it's funny. When he does it again on the second visit—getting the same reaction—it's genius.

Hidroplán (angleško seaplane) je letalo, narejeno za vzletanje in pristajanje na vodi.

Tipi
Poznamo dva tipa hidroplanov: vodno letalo (angleško float plane) in pa leteči čoln (angleško flying boat).

 Vodno letalo ima dva plovca (kesona), montirana pod trupom letala, na katera pristaja na vodi. Navadno ima vodno letalo dva plovca pod trupom, namesto pristajalnih koles (običajno so to prirejena navadna letala). V drugi svetovni vojni pa je imela večina letal en plovec pod glavnim trupom in dva manjša pod krili. Navadno je v stik z vodo prišel samo plovec pod glavnim trupom, trup pa je ostal nad vodo. Nekatera manjša »kopenska« letala je možno preurediti v vodna letala.
 Pri letečem čolnu je trup letala potopljen v vodo, kar od daleč zgleda kot velik čoln s krili, plovce (amfibije tudi zložljive - glej PBY Catalina) na krilih ima le za stabilnost pri pristajanju in vzletanju. Večina letečih čolnov ima za večjo stabilnost pod krili nameščene plovce.
Nekateri ljudje menijo, da naj bi izraz hidroplan uporabljali samo za letala, ki imajo namesto koles nameščene plovce, leteči čolni pa naj bi bili kategorija zase, saj so zgrajeni precej drugače, tudi motorji so običajno nameščeni nad krilom.

Amfibijsko letalo lahko vzleta in pristaja tako na vodi kot na kopnem, medtem ko pravi hidroplani lahko vzletijo in pristanejo samo na vodi. Poznamo amfibijske leteče čolne in pa amfibijska vodna letala, prav tako tudi nekaj hibridnih izvedb (hidroplan s pomičnimi plovci). Večina modernih letal, ki so narejena kot hidroplani, je amfibijskih ali pa so tradicionalne oblike.

Leteča podmornica je zrakoplov, ki je zmožen pluti pod vod in vzletati z vodne površine.

Podvodno letalo je tip podmornice s podvodnimi krili.

Namen in uporaba

Večina modernih civilnih letal je izdelanih v varianti vodnega letala. Večinoma gre pri teh izvedbah za prevoz lažjega tovora po jezerih in drugih oddaljenih predelih z vodo. Leteče čolne in amfibije pa največkrat uporabljamo za gašenje požarov.

Hidroplani lahko vzletijo in pristanejo na vodi samo kadar je voda čisto mirna ali pa le malo valov in tako kot druga letala imajo težave v ekstremnih vremenskih pogojih. Pri takšnih vremenskih pogojih imajo leteči čolni in amfibije, zaradi svoje velikosti in večje stabilnosti, veliko prednost.

Največji uporabniki hidroplanov so reševalne organizacije in pa obalne straže, ker lahko ista letala uporabljajo za odkrivanje in reševanje preživelih. Hidroplani so veliko bolj primerni za takšno delo kot helikopterji in za razliko od helikopterjev lahko pristanejo na vodi, če jim zmanjka goriva. Tudi nekateri helikopterji s plovci lahko pristanejo na vodi, ampak le na povsem mirni, kajti njihovo težišče je precej visoko in jih že manjši valovi lahko prevrnejo.

Hidroplane veliko uporabljajo v oddaljenih predelih kot je Aljaska (ima največ vodnih letal na prebivalca v Ameriki) in pa kanadski zakotni predeli z velikimi jezeri primernimi za vzletanje in pristajanje, predvesem v predelih s slabo razvito cestnim omrežjem in v primeru velikega snega.

Zgodovina

Začetki razvoja so se začeli v Hammondsportu v New Yorku pri Glennu Curtissu, ki je prehitel Alexandra Grahama Bella in ostale izdelovalce letal pri Aerial Experiment Association.

Med prvo in drugo svetovno vojno je večina mornaric uporabljala hidroplane za izvidniške naloge in protipodmorniške boje. Večina vojaških ladij je imela dva katapulta s hidroplani za odkrivanje tarč preko obzorja in zračne boje z izvidniškimi letali.

Enega največjih letečih čolnov na svetu je izdelal pustolovec Howard Hughes. Tik po drugi svetovni vojni je nastal H-4 Hercules (vzdevek »leteče skladišče za les« ali bolje poznano kot »Spruce Goose«). Vzletel je samo enkrat leta 1947. Ameriška vlada ga je odobrila za uporabo v drugi svetovni vojni, vendar ni bilo končano pred koncem vojne.

Danes se hidroplani ne uporabljajo več v vojne namene. Eno zadnjih letal, ki je bilo v vojaški uporabi, je bil hidroplan HMS Engadine.

Amfibije in leteči čolni so še dandanes zelo uporabni za gašenje požarov. Večina takih konstrukcij posnema vsestransko Consolidated PBY Catalino iz druge svetovna vojne. Za reševanje pa se uporabljajo skoraj izključno helikopterji.

What is the mezzo-soprano range?
Who are some famous sopranos?
How do I determine if I'm a soprano?

Soprano registers, as outlined in Richard Miller's "Training Soprano Voices":
Mezzo soprano registers:
What are the soprano and mezzo voice types?
Mezzo voice types
By Camille van Niekerk
The term soprano refers to the highest-pitched singing voice. It comes from the Italian word, sopra, meaning over, on top, or above. While the majority of sopranos are women, male countertenors who can sing in the soprano range are called sopranists, and young boy sopranos are called trebles.
The general soprano range extends from C4 (middle C) to C6 (high C). Some repertoire, however, will demand higher or lower pitches.
The mezzo-soprano voice is between alto and soprano, with a general range from A3 (below middle C) to A5 (one ledger line above the treble clef staff). Again, some repertoire will demand a wider range. Mezzos (Italian for half or medium) typically have a darker, richer tone.
Famous sopranos in the world of classical music, from opera to art songs, include Cecilia Bartoli, Maria Callas, Joyce DiDonato, Diana Damrau, Renée Fleming, Anna Netrebko, and Joan Sutherland. See here for video of these sopranos and more: https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/latest/best-sopranos/
Sopranos in contemporary music include Ellie Goulding, Ariana Grande, Chlöe Agnew (of Celtic Woman), Sierra Boggess, and Kristin Chenoweth.
The two main considerations are range (see above) and tessitura. Tessitura is the range in which a singer is most comfortable and presents their best timbre (or their characteristic tone quality).
If you're still not sure, after considering range and tessitura, consider the passaggio. Passaggi (plural for passaggio) are the points at which your voice shifts from one register to the next; for example, shifting from chest voice to mix, or mix to head voice. Some singers call this the "break" because there can be a noticeable change in tone (especially before training to smooth out or disguise these points of transition).
Within each register, the voice is functioning in a specific way. For example, in chest voice, the TA (thyroarytenoid) muscle is dominant. In head voice, however, the CT (cricothyroid) muscle takes over. A passaggio is the point at which there is a change in function between two registers.
Chest – G3 to E-flat4
Middle (or mixed) – E-flat4 to F-sharp5
Head – F-sharp5 to C6 or C-sharp6
Flageolet – D6 or D-sharp6 to the "highest negotiable pitches"
Chest – E3 or F3 to E4 or F4
Middle (or mixed) – C4 to E5 or F5
Head – F5 or F-sharp5 to B-flat5 or B5
Flageolet – C6 and up
Notice that there is overlap between registers! That overlap is where your passaggio, or point of transition, lies. That is because it's not necessarily one specific pitch at which you shift; it's more likely to be a range of pitches.
Classical singers sometimes determine, in addition to their range, their voice type. Voice types are helpful especially if you're an operatic singer because roles within operas are assigned according to voice type. See below for both soprano and mezzo voice types.
Soprano voice types
Coloratura: fast-moving voice capable of runs, leaps, and trills
Soubrette: light, sweet voice with brighter timbre and medium tessitura
Lyric: warm, full timbre with carrying power
Spinto: darker timbre and ability to easily "push" for dramatic climaxes
Dramatic: powerful, dark, rich voice with a lower tessitura
Coloratura: warm low register and agile upper register
Lyric: smooth, sensitive voice with less size and agility
Dramatic: broad, powerful voice with strong medium register and warm high register
Both range and voice type can change as you age! Pay attention to the range in which your voice both feels and sounds the best. For selection of both roles and repertoire, tessitura should carry more weight than overall range.

Brazil, Eastern Europe, Ernst Wilimowski, Europe, Germany, Poland, S AmericaJuliet Jacques November 21, 2010 Comment
Poland and the war
The game is too far back to stand out in the memory of many football fans, but the 1938 World Cup clash between Poland and Brazil was a classic. What went before and after for Poland puts football in a little more context. Here's Juliet Jacques.
Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg, 5 June 1938. Poland line up against Brazil for their first World Cup finals game. It became one of the most incredible games in the tournament's history. The fates of the Polish players proved even more extraordinary.
Brazil star Leônidas opened the scoring after 18 minutes; five minutes later, Poland star Ernst Wilimowski beat three defenders and Brazil keeper Batatais, who hauled him down; Fryderyk Scherfke converted the penalty. Thereafter, the game belonged to Wilimowski, even though his team were 3-1 down at half-time.
Soon after the restart, Ruch Chorzów striker Wilimowski had scored twice, levelling the game. It looked like Poland might secure a shock victory, but Peració put Brazil 4-3 up. Just before the death, Wilimowski scored his third, forcing extra time. Then Leônidas became the second player to hit a hat-trick, seemingly settling matters, but with two minutes left, Wilimowski struck his fourth.
Poland pressed for an equaliser, which would have earned a replay, half-back Erwin Nyc hitting the crossbar as Brazil defended desperately, but the match ended 6-5, and Poland were eliminated. This lone first round loss represented the zenith of inter-war Polish football, as the World Cup superseded the Olympics as the most prestigious international football tournament.
Although the first clubs in modern Poland were formed in 1903, Polish football began in December 1919 when the PZPN (Polski Zwiazek Pilki Noznej – Polish Football Association) was founded in Warsaw. After the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles restored independence to Poland, which had been divided between the Kingdom of Prussia (later part of Germany), the Russian Empire and Austria in 1795 and then absorbed into the defeated Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Second Polish Republic further destabilised Eastern Europe, thrown into chaos by the Russian Revolution. Poland's borders were fixed at a heavy cost, after wars with Russia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia and the Ukraine, and three uprisings in Upper Silesia. With peace restored, the national team finally played its first match in December 1921, losing 1-0 to Hungary in Budapest.
Poland entered the 1924 Olympic Games – their first international tournament. In the first round, they again faced Hungary, the second of three defining inter-war games against their neighbours. The Magyars thrashed Poland 5-0, and the Poles did not play another competitive match until 1933.
The foundation of the amateur but competitive Polish Soccer League in 1927 proved crucial in lifting the national side's fortunes. The League initially included fourteen teams, its composition reflecting Poland's racial balance: there were eleven ethnic Polish teams, two Jewish (one from Lwów, the other Kraków) and 1.FC Kattowitz, formerly FC Preußen, who used the German spelling of Katowice after the city came under Polish rule.
Kattowitz's bitter rivalry with ethnically Polish Wisła Kraków was coloured by the recent Silesian Uprisings. Negotiating at Versailles, the Weimar government claimed that if Upper Silesia were awarded to Poland, their loss of the region's industry, particularly its mines, then Germany could not pay reparations demanded by the victorious Allies. Consequently, the Treaty ordered a plebiscite to decide which nation owned it. The vote would cover eastern Upper Silesia, largely Polish, and the German-dominated west.
German business told employees that they could lose their jobs and pensions if they voted for Polish rule, and German troops intimidated local Poles; the secret Polish Military Organisation confronted them, resulting in uprisings in 1919 and 1920. The plebiscite finally occurred in March 1921, two days after the Treaty of Riga ended Poland's war with Russia: the Germans won by 200,000 votes, but the decision to allow anyone over twenty resident in Upper Silesia to participate prompted mass German migration – and the third Silesian Uprising.
The League of Nations intervened, dividing the territory. Katowice fell within the Polish area: as 22,774 people had voted for Upper Silesia to belong to Germany, and just 3,000 for Poland, the city was granted a level of self-rule. Although the autonomous Silesian province was Polish-dominated, Katowice became its capital. After the military coup of May 1926, the centralist government attempted to limit its power: something the German Upper Silesians deeply resented.
The decisive game of the League's first season was between 1.FC and Wisła in Katowice. Wisła won 2-0, but 1.FC claimed that referee Zygmunt Hanke had favoured Wisła, as the Polish authorities would not let the German team become champions. Soon, 1.FC's goalkeeper, Emil Görlitz, became the first Silesian to play for Poland; full-back Erich Heidenreich refused his call-up, defining himself as German. 1.FC soon declined, suffering relegation two years later; ethnically Polish club Ruch Hajduki Wielkie, whose name 'Ruch' ('motion') was taken by some Germans as a reference to the Uprisings, filled the Silesian power vacuum.
In 1932, Józef Kałuża became manager of Poland. A member of their 1924 Olympic squad, Kałuża based his side around Upper Silesian players. The region's wealth meant that their 'amateur' players could take notional jobs and dedicate themselves to football. Consequently, Ruch dominated the League, champions every year from 1933 to 1936 and again in 1938. Their star was Wilimowski, born in Kattowitz in 1916 whilst it was part of the German Empire, and signed from 1.FC in 1933. After his father died on the Western Front, Wilimowski took his stepfather's name and grew up speaking German at home, using a Silesian dialect in public after Katowice became part of the Second Polish Republic.
In Kałuża's first game, Poland beat 1930 World Cup semi-finalists Yugoslavia 3-0 in Zagreb. Later that year, they thrashed Romania 5-0 in Bucharest, Silesian debutants Ewald Urban and Gerard Wodarz both scoring. Increasingly confident, Poland made their first entry into the World Cup.
On 15 October 1933, Poland lost the first leg of their qualification play-off 2-1 to Czechoslovakia in Warsaw. The second leg was scheduled for 15 April 1934, but it was never played. With international relations worsening, the Polish government, resentful of the League of Nations' decision to award Javorina and Ždiar to Czechoslovakia in 1925, barred Kałuża's team from travelling to Prague. Qualifying by default, the Czechs eventually reached the Final.
After several poor results, Kałuża faced huge pressure: only Upper Silesian support kept him in place. In June 1936, the PZPN finally chose to enter Poland in the Berlin Olympics. Rapidly assembling his team, Kałuża had to do without Wilimowski, suspended for heavy drinking. Replacement Hubert Gad scored four goals, but their star striker's absence was keenly felt as Poland lost the semi-final to Austria.
Restored, Wilimowski scored in Poland's 4-0 win over Yugoslavia in Warsaw on 10 October 1937. Two goals from Leonard Piontek, of 1937 League runners-up AKS Chorzów, and one from Jerzy Wostal, virtually assured qualification for the 1938 World Cup. Despite losing 1-0 in Belgrade six months later, the Poles went to France on aggregate.
On 27 August 1939, Poland beat 1938 World Cup Finalists Hungary 4-2 in a friendly in Warsaw. It came four days after the Nazi-Soviet Pact. With the Treaty guaranteeing western Poland, including Upper Silesia, to Germany and the east to Russia, Hitler began his invasion less than a week after 'The Last Game'.
The day after the occupation, the Nazis outlawed all Polish organisations. Wanting the Silesian players for the German team, they also barred Polish nationals from competitive sport – the only country where they did so. This forced Poland's World Cup side to make a choice: assume German citizenship or stop playing. Several of the team signed the Volksliste, which classed citizens of German-occupied territories in Poland into four categories of desirability to the regime.
Because of the region's relative prosperity, Himmler allowed the majority of Upper Silesian citizens to sign. Many fell into Category Three: Poles from Silesia who had not fought Germans during the Uprisings. To emphasise their German identity, several of the players who signed changed their names. Scherfke used Friedrich as his forename, forward Ryszard Piec appeared for Turn und Sport Lupine (formerly Naprzód Lipiny) as Richard Pietz, and Nyc, who had adopted the Polish spelling of his surname in 1934, reverted to his birth name, Nytz.
The Nazis incorporated 1.FC Kattowitz into the expanded Silesian regional league, the Gauliga Oberschlesien. AKS Chorzów were amongst several Polish clubs involved and renamed, as Germania Königshütte; Ruch Chorzów (as RHW became in 1939) were forced to appear as Bismarckhütter SV 99.
Signing allowed Poland's Silesian core to continue playing, but also to be drafted into the Wehrmacht. Several of the side that faced Brazil – half-backs Ewald Dytko and Wilhelm Góra, Nytz (who played for the Luftwaffe team), Wodarz and ethnic German Scherfke – were called up as the war spread to the Eastern Front.
Dytko, Góra and Wodarz were captured by the Allies. Dytko remained a prisoner until the war's end, but Góra and Wodarz joined the exiled Polish II Corps, fighting for the Allies as the war turned their way. Escaping a PoW camp in Hungary after resisting the Nazi invasion, full-back Antoni Gałecki also joined the Corps after reaching Palestine.
Some, including Pietz, escaped active service: forward Leonard Piontek remained Germania Königshütte's star as they dominated the Gauliga Oberschlesien, outperforming state-sponsored 1.FC Kattowitz. But the player who had the most complex relationship with the regime was the star, Wilimowski.
After Germany's shock first round World Cup exit, the Nazis wanted Wilimowski to spearhead their attack. Resuming German citizenship lost after the Silesian Uprisings, Wilimowski signed the Volksliste and continued playing – becoming the only member of Poland's World Cup team to represent Germany, playing in eight friendlies and scoring 13 goals in 1941 and 1942.
The Nazis designated 1.FC as Silesia's state-sponsored club; they held Wilimowski's transfer from Kattwitz to Ruch as a teenager against him. After the invasion, he was reassigned to 1.FC, with Nyc and Dytko. He played there until February 1940, when he took a job as a police officer, allowing him to escape service and represent Polizei-Sportverein Chemnitz, and then 1860 München and Luftwaffe side Rote Jäger.
Goalkeeper Edward Madejski also continued playing – in Poland. Defying the ban, he featured in illegal tournaments for Kraków amateur sports club AKS. The Gestapo arrested Madejski and sent him to nearby Montelupich, for political prisoners. He escaped and returned to underground football, daring to travel to Warsaw for games before the Nazi regime collapsed.
The Red Army marched into Poland in 1945. Although six million Polish citizens had died – ninety per cent of them non-military losses – all those who started against Brazil survived, although squad member Antoni Łyto perished at Auschwitz. Those who coached them did not. Kałuża died in Kraków in 1944, aged 48. Trainer Marian Spoida, Kałuża's 1924 Olympic team-mate, died in the Katyn massacre, one of 22,000 killed when the Soviet secret police attempted to execute all Officer Corps in Russian-occupied Poland.
The World Cup side, particularly those on the Volksliste, had considerable troubles with Poland's new Communist regime. Scherfke chose to stay in West Berlin. Góra wanted to return to Upper Silesia, from which most Germans were banished after the Allies awarded the entire area to Poland. The ethnic Germans were transported to East and West Germany and replaced with Poles: Góra, born a citizen of the German Empire, was barred from returning.
Dytko and Nyc were allowed back on the condition that they sign a declaration of loyalty to the Polish state. Nyc had to secure a statement from other Polish players that he had supported Resistance activities during the war. After playing in Britain as a PoW, Wodarz returned to Ruch Chorzów as the Polish League resumed in 1946, managing them twice after his retirement.
The player who had the worst experience in Communist Poland was the one who had most actively disobeyed Nazi law. Edward Madejski returned to Upper Silesia, playing until his retirement. In 1956, he was arrested by the secret police on trumped-up spying charges, spending three years in prison despite the regime's de-Stalinisation under Władysław Gomulka, named President that same year.
The Communists regarded Wilimowski as a traitor and prevented his return to Silesia. He continued playing in West Germany, retiring in 1959, aged 43. In 1974, Wilimowski asked to visit the Poland team who had qualified for their first World Cup since 1938. The squad, which finished third in West Germany, included Silesian stars Jan Tomaszewski, Jerzy Gorgoń and Henryk Kasperczak. The PZPN denied him. Poland's coach, Kazimierz Górski, met Wilimowski in a West German hotel.
"If you did nothing wrong," said Górski, "then perhaps you should have returned to Poland to explain your actions."
"I was afraid," replied Wilimowski.
In 1995, after the collapse of Polish Communism, Ruch Chorzów invited Wilimowski to Upper Silesia to celebrate their 75th anniversary. Adamant that he would never have left Katowice had it not been for the war, Wilimowski wanted to return, but had to stay in Germany to care for his sick wife. He died there on 30 August 1997.
Five years later, another Upper Silesian scored four goals in a single World Cup match, against Saudi Arabia. Poland were playing in their first World Cup since 1986, the last hurrah of their great Seventies and early Eighties side, but Miroslav Klose – born Mirosław Kloze in Opole, the centre of modern Upper Silesia's minority population in – represented Germany.
In 2006, Klose struck up a formidable partnership with fellow Upper Silesian Lukas Podolski, whose family had moved near Cologne when he was two. On home soil, Germany eliminated Poland, beating them 1-0 in a crucial First Round match. Klose and Podolski led German football's renaissance as they finished third in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups and made the 2008 European Championship final: whether or not the Upper Silesians will contribute to another great Polish side remains to be seen.

I've painted many flowers in my five years experience with watercolor and I probably will keep painting them for the rest of my life. This time I took a more abstract approach and it was so fun! I love painting wet on wet when I can. I think my favorite paintings are the ones that look the most fluid.
I love them! What a pretty mix of colour too. Beautiful work Elise!
I like these! The pastels and loose shapes are really evocative of spring flowers.
I love the colors you chose on these! And, I think I'm an "in-between" person like you!
I want to try this, its so effective!
some of the most beautiful work i've ever seen! have you ever thought about doing quick video tutorials? i would LOVE to see them.

Q: PHP - Conditional extraction of a string from within another? I need some help with PHP, as I'm very new to it.
I have these set of strings coming in from a location, and I need to conditionally extract a string subset from it, whenever its present.
Set Up:
Each string I get has these Attributes, and each Attribute has some Values. All Attributes are optional, and all Attributes can have a variable number of values.
The pattern of these strings is like this:
... Attribute Name: Attribute Values Attribute Name: Attribute Values ...
For example, here are a few example strings:
Attribute A: Value 1, Value 2 Attribute B: Value 3, Value 4, Value 5, Value 6 Attribute C: Value 7, Attribute D: Value 8, Value 9

Attribute A: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute B: Value 4, Value 5 Attribute C: Value 6, Value 7, Value 8, Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10, Value 11

Attribute B: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute C: Value 4 Attribute D: Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8 Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10

Notice that some strings have some Attributes missing, and all Attributes can have a variable number of Values listed next to it.
The Issue:
I want to extract all values of Attribute D, whenever Values for Attribute D are present.
So for example..
For input this string:
Attribute A: Value 1, Value 2 Attribute B: Value 3, Value 4, Value 5, Value 6 Attribute C: Value 7, Attribute D: Value 8, Value 9

I should get this output: Value 8, Value 9
For input this string:
Attribute A: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute B: Value 4, Value 5 Attribute C: Value 6, Value 7, Value 8, Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10, Value 11

I should get this output: An empty or null string, since Attribute D is not present in the input string
For input this string:
Attribute B: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute C: Value 4 Attribute D: Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8 Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10

I should get this output: Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8

I think a series of PHP ifs and string functions are needed here, but I'm wondering if someone can chalk up the conditional extraction code .. Will speed me up a lot :)
Cooked up the code myself:
I first break the string into substrings, using : as the delimiter. Then I go through each substring and search for Attribute D string. If found, I know that the next substring will have the values for Attribute D. Then I just remove the last word from this next substring (i.e. remove the next Attribute's name).
2 flaws in this code though (won't occur in my environment though) .. Hope you guys can find them :)
Here is the final code I used:
<?php

    $subStrings = explode(':',$product['description']);

    $arrayIndexContainingAttributeD = -1;

    $length = count($subStrings);
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
    {
      if(strpos($subStrings[$i], 'Attribute D') != false)
      {
        $arrayIndexContainingAttributeD = $i + 1;
        break;
      }
    }

    $attributeDStringAvailable = false;

    if($arrayIndexContainingAttributeD != -1 && $arrayIndexContainingAttributeD<$length)
    {
        $attributeDString = preg_replace('/\W\w+\s*(\W*)$/', '$1', $subStrings[$arrayIndexContainingAttributeD]);
        $attributeDStringAvailable = true;
    }

?>

<?php if ($attributeDStringAvailable == true) { ?>

<a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>"><?php echo $attributeDString; ?>

<?php } ?>

A: Tried to make this as self-explanatory as possible. Example:
$string = 'Attribute B: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute C: Value 4 Attribute D: Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8 Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10';
$query = 'D';
echo getAttributeValues($string, $query);

function getAttributeValues($string = '', $query = null) {
  if(!strpos($string, $query)) {
    echo 'attribute not in string';
  } else {
    $array = explode('Attribute ', $string);
    $attributes = array_filter($array);

    foreach($attributes as $attribute) {
      if(strpos($attribute, $query.':') !== false) {
        $return = str_replace($query.':', '', $attribute);
        return trim($return);
      }
    }
  }
}

    }

?>

<?php if ($attributeDStringAvailable == true) { ?>

<a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>"><?php echo $attributeDString; ?>

<?php } ?>

A: You could do this with a single regex:
$string = 'Attribute A: Value 1, Value 2 Attribute B: Value 3, Value 4, Value 5, Value 6 Attribute C: Value 7, Attribute D: Value 8, Value 9

Attribute A: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute B: Value 4, Value 5 Attribute C: Value 6, Value 7, Value 8, Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10, Value 11

Attribute B: Value 1, Value 2, Value 3 Attribute C: Value 4 Attribute D: Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8 Attribute E: Value 9, Value 10';

preg_match_all('#Attribute D:\s*(.*?)(?:\s*(?:Attribute|$))#s', $string, $m);
print_r($m[1]);

Output:
Array
(
    [0] => Value 8, Value 9
    [1] => Value 5, Value 6, Value 7, Value 8
)

«Эспаньо́л» (, ) — испанский профессиональный футбольный клуб из города Барселона.

История

Основание и клубная культура
28 октября 1900 года студент Университета Барселоны Анхель Родригес (Ángel Rodríguez) основал Королевский спортивный клуб «Эспаньол». Поначалу туда входил только футбольный клуб. Команда состояла в основном из студентов университета, увлёкшихся только что пришедшей из Англии игрой.

Изначально клуб имел название «Sociedad Española de Footbal», однако через год был переименован в «Club Español de Fútbol». Игроки проводили свои матчи в ярко-жёлтых футболках, а цвет шорт у каждого футболиста был разный. Радости команды не было предела, когда друзья клуба открыли швейную фабрику и смогли поставлять «Эспаньолу» одинаковую жёлтую ткань.

В 1910 клуб сменил название на «Club Deportivo Español» и обрёл свои традиционные цвета — синий и белый в полоску, в честь великого каталонского адмирала Рохера де Льюриа (Admiral Roger de Llúria), который защищал интересы Каталонии в Средиземноморье в Средние века. Свой первый успех «Эспаньол» отпраздновал уже в 1903 году, выиграв Чемпионат Каталонии и Кубок Макая («Copa Macaya»).

Развитие клуба
В 1906 году из-за финансовых проблем большинство игроков покинуло «Эспаньол» и присоединилось к «X Sporting Club», который три года подряд побеждал в чемпионате Каталонии с 1906 по 1908 годы. В 1909 году в этом клубе произошёл успешный перезапуск «Club Deportivo Español» и, начиная со следующего года, и по сей день, команда носит традиционные цвета.

«Эспаньол» — один из нескольких испанских футбольных клубов, который пользуется покровительством королевской власти, имеет название «Реал» («Королевский») и королевскую корону в своём логотипе. Эта привилегия была дарована «Эспаньолу» в 1912 году королём Альфонсом XIII. С тех пор клуб носит своё официальное название «Real Club Deportivo Español» (Именно так расшифровывается аббревиатура «RCD Espanyol»).

Тем временем «Эспаньол» продолжал завоёвывать титулы чемпионов Каталонии. В 1928 году клуб вступил в Ла Лигу, а уже на следующий год взял свой первый Кубок Испании.

В 1931 году, провозгласив Вторую Испанскую Республику, Альфонс XIII приказал сменить название команды на более каталонское и убрать все королевские символы с клубного логотипа. Имя команды в очередной раз был изменено, и теперь звучало как «Club Esportiu Espanyol». После окончания Гражданской войны «Эспаньолу» вернули прежнее название.

Затем начались годы взлётов и падений, самое тяжёлое из которых случилось в 1962 году, когда «Эспаньол» вылетел в Сегунду. Но уже через год команде удалось вернуться в Примеру. Таких падений было четыре и всегда опускаясь в Сегунду «Эспаньолу» удавалось возвращаться в Примеру на следующий год, а в 1994 году даже завоевать титул Чемпионов Сегунды.

В январе 2016 года китайский миллиардер Чен Яншен выкупил 54 % акций каталонского клуба. Яншен возглавляет компанию Rastar Group (ранее — Xinghui Auto Model), которая специализируется на изготовлении детских игрушечных автомобилей и сырьевой продукции для пластмассовых изделий. Сумма сделки по фактическому приобретению «Эспаньола» составила от 14 до 18 млн евро. Одними из главных задач китайские инвесторы обозначали реструктуризацию внешнего долга клуба (191 млн евро) и увеличение общего оборотного капитала (до 90 млн евро)

8 июля 2020 года команда досрочно покинула Ла Лигу после поражения в домашнем дерби с «Барселоной» (1:0). Яншен принёс извинения болельщикам.

История выступлений

Достижения
Команда 9 раз участвовала в Кубке УЕФА (в сезоне 2006/07 «Эспаньол» добился этого права, выиграв Кубок Испании) и дважды выходила в финал второго по значимости европейского клубного турнира. Но оба раза уступала. Сначала «Байеру» (2:3, по пенальти), а спустя 19 лет — испанской «Севилье» (1:3, по пенальти), Вальтер Пандиани, ушедший из клуба в следующее межсезонье, стал лучшим бомбардиром этого Кубка. На сегодняшний день это наивысшее достижение в истории «Эспаньола» за пределами Испании.

Во внутреннем чемпионате «бело-синим» повезло намного больше — четыре Кубка Короля и четыре бронзовые медали испанского первенства (Сезоны 1932/33, 1966/67, 1972/73, 1986/87).

 Кубок УЕФА:
  Финалист (2): 1987/88, 2006/07

Стадион
В период с 1923 по 1997 годы, «Эспаньол» проводил свои домашние игры на стадионе «Эстади де Саррия» (), расположенном в округе «Саррия-Сан Жерваси» (), в пригороде Барселоны. В 1997 году команда переехала на «Стадион имени Луиса Компани», расположенном на холме Монжуик, который в 1992 году принимал Летние Олимпийские игры.

Спустя 12 лет «Попугаи» возвращаются в родные места. На этот раз им достался абсолютно новый стадион «Корнелья-Эль Прат», вмещающий 40500 зрителей. Арена расположена недалеко от того места, где находился «Эстади де Саррия». Строительные работы завершены к 2009 году, поэтому «Эспаньол» сменил прописку.

 В 1994 году у «Эспаньола» появилась своя дочерняя команда — «Эспаньол B», которая на данный момент выступает в третьей испанской лиге — Сегунда Дивизион B.
 Эспаньол имеет три так называемых фарм-клуба. Греческий «Паниониос», английский «Суонси» и шведский «Хальмстад». По договору с «Панионисом» и «Суонси» каталонская команда имеет первоочередное право на выкуп понравившегося игрока, а также брать и отдавать в аренду молодых игроков. Сделка, заключённая с «Хальмстадом», позволяет шведской команде брать в аренду трёх игроков из «Эспаньола B». При этом первоочередное право на выкуп у испанской команды отсутствует.
 номер 21 закреплён за Даниэлем Харке. Именно под этим номером выступал капитан «Эспаньола»

Талисман

Талисманом команды является волнистый попугайчик, «Перико» или «Перикито», командных цветов — синий и белый. Поэтому болельщики клуба называются «попугаями».

Laya Yoga - Yoga Dharma Laya Yoga the real Kundalini Yoga!
Laya Yoga or The Yoga of Dissolution is described as the loss of the individual self or consciousness. The true essence returns to the source, were no concept of future, past or space remains. All idea of I-ness, subjectivity or objectivity departs.
HYP 10 Chapters: When the stage of Laya arises, all the mental resolutions are stopped, all the efforts are purified (cease to exist) which can only be experienced and cannot be grasped by mind or expressed in words.
Laya Yoga or Kundalini Yoga is practiced through Tantric Yoga techniques such as Visualisation, Mudra, Bandha, Yantra and Meditation. Its worth pointing out here I am not describing Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, which he introduced in the late 60's.
A sound and regular practice needs to be established to safely practice Laya Yoga. The body needs to be prepared through a strong Hatha Yoga practice that includes Shat Karmas such as, Bhastrika and Kaplabhati. Siddhasana is the recommended seated posture, with the heel pressing into the Perineum stimulating Mula Bandha.
In the correctly aligned seated posture the knees will drop below the front of the pelvis, the soles of the feet will face upwards, and the Pelvis will sit in a neutral position. The neutral position of the Pelvis will naturally induce Uddiyana Bandha and the spine will retain its neutral shape. With the palms of the hands also facing upwards, along with soles of the feet and a correctly aligned spine, induces Apana to turn upwards preventing drowsiness.
The Hatha Yoga practices will cleanse and prepare the gross and subtle bodies for the practice of Pranayama.
HYP 10 Chapters: When exhalation and inhalation are stopped, objects are not perceived, no action is performed and there is no mind or expression, then this Laya, is established in the Yogi.
During the retention phase the mind is still, with no coming or going and the struggle to control the mind slips away leading to dissolution.
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika 10 Chapters gives advise on the outcome of Pranayama practices on the mind, as below.
Sit in Siddhasana and begin to Visualise the Chakras beginning with Ajna Chakra, before moving down to Muladhara Chakra. Ajna Chakra is the centre for higher thinking and values, along with inner vision and intuition. It would seem natural to begin with Muladhara Chakra, and ascend, but it is warned that if we begin with Muladhara Chakra, we risk identifying with our base instincts, and get lost. Starting with Ajna Chakra, it Is said helps keep in mind our higher purpose.


The new normal for local government human resource managers is less. Less staff, less budget, and less time to do more. Hire more people, who are more qualified, and fill more open positions faster. The communities that are succeeding in this new normal are those that have turned to cloud-based automation tools to help expedite the hiring process, and identify more talented, civic-minded job candidates.
More Application Channels. More Open Positions.
The number of job candidates searching online has doubled since 2005, according to data from the Pew Research Center. Today, 54 percent of Americans use the Internet to research available jobs, while nearly 45 percent apply for jobs online. Not only are Internet job searches on the rise, but the use of social media has also grown 54 percent as a recruitment tool as well, providing more opportunities for active and passive job seekers to find available positions.
Human resource managers are not only choosing candidates from digitally, and socially-minded applicant pools. They are selecting applicants who are mobile-savvy as well. 28 percent of job seekers, including 53 percent of those ages 18 to 29, have used a smartphone as part of their job search.
Despite these digital conveniences, and the speed with which candidates can find and apply for jobs from a desktop computer or a mobile device, the latest data shows that these conveniences are not helping to fill open positions and close job gaps more quickly. In fact, 45 percent of surveyed employers reported that their time to fill open positions has grown since 2014. Where is the disconnect? Shouldn't more applications, completed more quickly, and in digital format, allow for more efficient hiring? Not if human resource managers do not have a tool in place to help them receive, review, and route the high level of job applications they are receiving daily.
The Challenge for Local Government.
Local government HR managers are being asked to fill open positions faster, help with individual career development plans, and enable effective performance evaluations, all with less annual budget and a smaller staff. Among those human resource professionals recently surveyed, 17.1 percent of their time was spent on operations management and administrative work, while only 6.4 percent was spent on recruiting and executive search.
Human resource professionals who are being inundated with a higher quantity of applicants, who are not necessarily of a higher quality, just do not have the time to give every job search for every open position across a community the focus and attention needed to fill the gap quickly.
Digital Solutions as the Key to Overcoming the Quantity Versus Quality Conundrum.
It is in the balance between quantity and quality where human resource managers are losing valuable time needed to focus on hiring the best talent for their communities. As local governments continue to feel the pressure of limited resources, leading to the need for the most effective performers in every role, the human resource departments that are succeeding are those in which the time-consuming process of reviewing, screening, and managing applications is automated through a cloud-based solution. Such tools allow human resource and department hiring managers to find and hire the most qualified candidates—and hire them faster.
An ATS solution helps human resource managers to more efficiently receive, screen, track, and hire job candidates, while effectively communicating and collaborating with hiring departments. By automating aspects of the documentation, application routing, candidate communication, and job posting processes, human resource departments of any size can fill open positions faster, and with highly qualified candidates.
Across the nation, human resource departments of all sizes—in cities, counties, townships, and villages of all sizes—are reporting that they can more quickly hire better-qualified individuals by transitioning from a manual recruitment and hiring process to an ATS. While its perhaps the primary goal for many local governments that invest in an ATS, minimizing the time-to-fill metric is not the only reason, HR professionals are implementing ATS systems.
ATS Solutions Help Public Sector Entities Avoid Discrimination Lawsuits.
Using an ATS, HR managers can prescreen job applicants and identify, through an automated process, only those applicants that meet pre-established baseline qualification metrics. Such automation removes the need for a manual review, and the chance of an unfair, discriminatory subjective assessment.
ATS Solutions Increase Employee Retention.
The right ATS helps HR managers identify the most qualified applicants the first time. With the average cost of a new hire in a mid-level assignment being estimated by some at nearly $60,000, hiring an unfit candidate is too costly to risk. Employees are most likely to remain in a position if they feel they have been given clear expectations, that they have an opportunity for personal growth and development, and that their contributions are impacting a greater good.
ATS solutions help HR managers identify such results-motivated candidates by incorporating goal-oriented performance profiles, rather than task-objective job descriptions, into the recruitment process. By encouraging HR managers to create performance profiles that focus on performance outcomes, rather than on daily tasks, local governments are more likely to receive higher quality, goal-oriented, and civic-minded candidates prepared to commit to a position in local government.
ATS Solutions Ensure EEOC and OFCCP Compliance.
Local governments are required to comply with reporting mandates established by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). Manual reporting is not only time-consuming, but it also increases the risk of reports being submitted with errors, or delays. ATS systems automatically track the data needed for mandated compliance reports and allow for the necessary documentation to be generated annually.
The expectation for government HR managers to do more with less isn't a temporary adjustment. It is the new normal. An investment in an automated system that takes the burden of searching for quality applicants among the increasing quantity of applicants can allow your local government to find the best people who will be committed to making the most significant impact in your community.

Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal anti-androgen free of any other endocrine activity. It binds to androgen receptors without activating gene expression and thus inhibits androgen stimulation. This inhibition leads to regression of prostatic tumors. In some patients, discontinuation of treatment may lead to withdrawal syndrome and anti-androgens.
Bicalutamide is a racemic, the anti-androgenic activity is essentially due to the (R) -enantiomer.
· Hypersensitivity to bicalutamide or to any of the excipients (see section Composition).
· Bicalutamide is contraindicated in women and children (see section Pregnancy and lactation).
· Concomitant administration of terfenadine, astemizole and cisapride (see section 4.4 Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction).
Initiation of treatment should be done under the direct supervision of a specialist.
Bicalutamide is highly metabolized by the liver. Available evidence suggests that elimination may be slower in patients with severe hepatic impairment, which may result in a greater accumulation of the drug. Therefore, caution should be exercised when administering bicalutamide to patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment
Hepatic function should be tested regularly due to potential liver changes
In most cases, these changes occur within the first 6 months of treatment with bicalutamide.
It has been shown that bicalutamide inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP; 3A4). Caution should be exercised when administered concomitantly with medicinal products predominantly metabolized by CYP 3A4 (see sections Contraindications and Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction)
A decrease in glucose tolerance was observed in men receiving LH-RH agonists. This can be manifested by diabetes or loss of blood sugar control, in men with pre-existing diabetes. The control of blood glucose should therefore be considered in patients receiving bicalutamide and LH-RH agonists.
This product contains 35 mg lactose monohydrate.
Patients with rare hereditary disorders of galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medication.
There is no evidence of a possible pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic interaction between bicalutamide and LH-RH analogs.
In vitro studies indicate that the (R) enantiomer of bicalutamide is an inhibitor of cytochrome CYP 3A4 and has lower inhibitory effects on cytochromes CYP 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6. >
Although clinical studies using antipyrin as a marker of cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity have not revealed any potential drug interactions, with bicalutamide, the increase in mean exposure to Midazolam (AUC) may be up to 80% after co-administration of bicalutamide for 28 days. Such an increase may have clinical repercussions for narrow therapeutic margin drugs. Therefore concomitant administration of terfenadine, astemizole and cisapride is contraindicated (see section 4.3) and caution should be exercised in the event of concomitant use of cyclosporine or inhibitors; Calcium. It may be necessary to decrease the dosage of these drugs, especially if there are signs of increased or undesirable effect. In the case of treatment with ciclosporin, close monitoring of plasma concentrations and clinical condition when initiating or discontinuing treatment with bicalutamide is recommended.
Caution should be exercised in the case of concomitant administration of medicinal products capable of inhibiting the oxidation of bicalutamide, ie medicinal products containing ketoconazole or cimetidine. Such concomitant administration could theoretically increase the plasma concentrations of bicalutamide, which could theoretically lead to an increase in undesirable effects.
In vitro studies have shown that bicalutamide can displace warfarin, a coumarin anticoagulant, from its binding sites to proteins. It is therefore recommended that the rapid time after the initiation of treatment with bicalutamide in patients treated with coumarin anticoagulants should be monitored regularly and regularly.
< Code>
There are no data on overdosage in humans. There is no specific antidote and the treatment should be symptomatic. Hemodialysis may not be useful because bicalutamide is highly protein bound and is not recovered and unchanged in the urine. It is advisable to administer general supportive treatment with frequent monitoring of vital functions.

It's already Tuesday again AND I'm still pregnant! No one is more astonished than me. After being told my cervix is 80% softened on Thursday, being told I could not go to pre-natal yoga, experiencing contractions every day since, mis-guessing my water had leaked on Friday, staying in bed all weekend in fear of going into labor when my doctor is off AND hinting strongly that I needed mother in law to show up early so I could get through said bed rest - I'm still pregnant! Apologies for discussing my cervix in public, at this point I've even discussed my cervix with my boss. When someone asks how I'm doing I tend to be specific.
Monday I couldn't take hibernation any longer so went with husband on trip to visit car lots with the promise that all I had to do was sit around and get up occasionally to look at mini vans. We got out for 4 hours and husband learned my favorite romantic song is "(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight) from Smokie: Greatest Hits Collection. I just remember this playing at all the high school parties my European friends would hold and thinking it was the most romantic song in the world and you know high school is all about finding your dream guy! So keep it in mind husband! In case you're wondering how we got through 10 years of marriage without this coming up - well I can only say I recently reheard the song and remembered it was my favorite!
Happy Tuesday Ya'll! Looking forward to checking out other random blogs!!!
So, did you find a van? Congrats on still being pregnant! I love that song too.
Heh. I love that song too. It's very...dramatic.
Hope you're un-pregnant soon (and easily, of course)!
Yay for still being pregnant and for getting your braces off BEFORE the baby!!!!!
Isn't it funny what things you can still learn about your hubby after 10 years. I'm 29 years in and still find things out I didn't know. Mystery keeps a marriage fun!!!
I'll be praying that you make it to your due date and following along now!
easy baby coming out vibes.
Isn't that how it always is? You plan something and it all goes so different than we expect it to. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well. Just keep those feet up.
Don't worry abut talking about your cervix. I have been known to mention my placenta a time or two.
Can't wait to see your "new" teeth. September/ October can't get here soon enough. We'll have to make some plans in August.
So, did you find a suitable van? Keep me posted on that.

Alright, I haven't seen the last movie in a very long time, but here's what I don't understand: Shouldn't Indiana Jones and his dad be immortal, after drinking from the Holy Grail? I remember being consumed with dread at the thought of them getting stuck in a fissure or covered with rubble at the end of the movie (when the temple started to collapse), and not being able to die. Anyway, I thought that's why the series had ended there.

I could be wrong, but I think the effects of the grail only lasted while you were in the tomb area? So you had to stay there forever.

So any suggestions on what could have been done to clean up the lazy storytelling and make this a better film? Here's what I think..
(spoilers beyond...)
Here are some things that *might* have made the story stronger.
1. Magnetism
The magnetic properties of the crystal skull could have been more consistent or done away with completely. The skull seemed to be especially magnetic only when convenient and this inconsistency took me out of the story. If gold coins can fly across the room and stick to these things why aren't they buried in metal debris?
2. Mac
Indy's double-triple agent friend wasn't a strong character and primarily served to keep the Russians on the trail towards the end of the movie by leaving little breadcrumb tracking devices. This character could have been developed more or completely discarded in favor of a compass. The magnetic skull would have guided the Russians with a compass as Indy suggests in the warehouse scene. Hmm... It could have been nice to work in a little mystery there too by suggesting that some of Earth's natural magnetic disturbances might not be so natural.
I didn't mind the alien connection too much but I think it was a little too ham fisted and could have been dealt with in a more subtle matter. For instance, not showing the aliens forming into one being at the end and mind melting Irina. In many cases it's more effective to just suggest these things.
4. El Dorado
Maybe I missed something but I thought it was strange to have these really cool acrobatic blowgun guys hopping around without any explanation. Do they want the skull back? Are they trying to keep it from being returned? Are they just a bunch of crazy dudes with face paint? Do they live in the city? Why don't they take better care of the place? I thought that their relationship could have been sorted out a little better because as they were presented they seemed like just another environmental obstacle to overcome... like a trap door or waterfall.
I didn't think the old age was a problem for Indy. There was an appropriate amount of huff and puff to him and I thought he was believable when taken aside from other problems in the story.

I dunno, I think a lot of the problems people are having with the film is kind of what happened with Star Wars. The new movies came out and we all thought they were too cheesey and what not, but when I think about those movies, they were all pretty cheesey. And the outlandish stuff in Indiana Jones: What about the faces melting in Raiders, or the heart still beating after being taken out in Temple, or the super old knight in Crusade. I think all of thesem ovies demand a grain of salt viewing and in that context they are all very entertaining and stack up well together. Besides, how often do we get greaser fights anymore?
Post by Ganter » Tue May 27, 2008 12:43 pm
For me it wasn't the outlandish stuff, it was the lack of any sort of conflict.
It's just that a lot of the stuff happening in the movie seemed to be happening for no reason other than convenient plot-weaving. In Raiders, it was a judgment being put upon those who were evil (and Nazi's are easily the most evil characters in recent history), in Crusade it was a lesson on the dangers of unlimiting one's ego (thinking you're better than Jesus to deserve his grail), and Temple was about the terror of abuse (enslaved children!). There was something compelling to fight against, something evil that the bad guys were trying to pursue that made it easy to be with Indy 100%, and made for a fun ride when he triumphs in the end.
But in Kingdom, the thing the bad guys are trying to pursue is what... knowledge? It was just harder for me to swallow than the other Indy films, putting the conflict into vague terms rather than using real, visceral temptations on the human condition to propel the story forward.
I think the negative reactions to Indy has nothing to do with the fun quality of the movie-making (because it was very well made and very watchable in the way that an amusement park ride is equally meaningless but enjoyable) and everything to do with a lack of real conflict for the characters including the villains.
Post by thirdeyeh » Tue May 27, 2008 3:52 pm
I guess its just the people I saw it with because for them it was more the whole alien thing being too weird or something along those lines. Personally I think the conflict was fine. The Russians wanted to be able to control people through the skull and with the Red Scare in the 50's and all, it worked for me. Because the whole thing during that era was people fighting for a perspective; capitalism or communism. In the end we get it revealed that the knowledge they wanted so they could change people's thoughts wasn't what the skull was all about and crazy Cate Blanchett's head blows up. I dunno, I guess I just didn't see the disconnect.
but I can concede that the conflict could have been more direct or stated in the film. Because while I think I got it, they only go into for like that brief scene in the woods when Indy stares at the skull and they convince him aliens exist. I actually thought the whole thing with aliens was going to revolve around the Roswell crash and the Russian's desire t o steal the technology obtained for military strength. That would have been a fine approach too.

I really liked it. That shot of Indy with the mushroom cloud was the perfect way to bring a '30's serial hero into the atomic age of the '50's. I thought the story was solid for what the movie is -- another installment of a pulp-hero adventure series. Better than Sky Captain which is kind of in the same genre - and I still liked Sky Captain. My only complaint is that there seems to be a booby-trapped temple requirement in all Indy adventures which I don't think is necessary.

THE POSITIVE:
The opening credits (this probably largely depends on wiether you like the Elvis song being used (which I did), BUT you cannot argue that this was beautifully shot, and 100% real, excluding the very first shot with the CG animal) 80% of the motor bike sequence?, the big long shot at the end, 70% of the opening story, Igor Jijikine, Pavel Lychnikoff, Harrison Ford, The shot of the Jungle cutter cutting through the forest, the low shot of the ants walking towards the characters, The wedding scene (this was odd cause I thought I'd not like it at all, but there was a line from John Hurt that got me), the detail in the sets (pretty incredible), the shot of indy jumping from one jeep to the other (camera behind both jeeps) very nice shot.
THE NEGATIVE:
The Screenplay.
Too many sidekicks, Ford losing the centre stage due to too many side kicks, Cate Blanchett not nearly evil enough and not enough on screen time for character development / lost due to too many sidekicks, Sword fight sequence, Tarzan sequence, Jungle Cutter hardly in it, No outside battle with gun fire with Ray Winstone wielding Thompson sub machine gun in the streets of some dusty town/city, Spielberg going anti violence on us with regards to people being shown to be machine gunned down (this is very un-indiana jones I have to say), John Williams repeating too much of the old music and not enough new music with memorable themes, not enough Jim Broadbent, not enough of the class room scene, The Screenplay, The fact that I had a whole bunch of stuff in my head that I thought they had done and they hadn't done it, no memorable lines, bad acting, way too much ray tracing aka CGI, The Screenplay, Janusz Kaminski's fuzzy picture and added blue tint look creeping in on some of the film, The fight scene in the rocket sled room was too short, opening adventure wasn't a fully separate adventure about another artefact

I still enjoyed Indy 4 myself, but I agree with alot of the things you guys have pointed out about the film. It seemed rather rushed, Ray Winstone's character wasn't really of much use, and Amy's point about the whole "knowledge" was spot on. The mention of it at the end pretty muched raised my eyebrow.
My biggest problem was the script and that it was written by David Keopp, whose work I'm not really fond of....his past credits being the script for the first Spider Man movie (ugh), Mission Impossible, and Jurassic Park....all those movies I think suffered from script problems.
All I can say is, I'm extremely annoyed at Lucas for nixing Frank Durabont's draft for the film. If you've seen The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, you know how good he is. Just imagine how tighter the film's plot, story and characterization could have been if they stuck with his version.
Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
UPDATE: That scene in the a-bomb testing field was beautifully done, I must say. And I'm more in love with Cate Blanchett than ever before.

I really didn't like it. I thought it had some moments, but as a whole, it just fell flat. With the previous three films, I felt a sense of grand scope. This one felt like it was shot mostly on sound stages or a back lot.
The story was over explained, leaving no sense of mystery. The alien concept of the plot, though no more fantastic than what was in the first three, felt wrong and out of place.
The movie didn't feel dangerous or exciting. It seemed to be an excuse to string together the scenes they wanted to shoot. The whole thing felt over the top and more like bad set-up for obvious jokes.
And no, my expectations were not high going in. They were low after all the things I'd heard from people who had seen it already.

The Knight said the powers of the Grail don't work beyond the great seal. That's the price you pay for immortality, and Indie related a tale of two knights returning from the crusade and dying of extreme old age.

After much thought I think the main problem was that Indy is a product of the 1940s and the movie (necessarily) was set in the 1950s. The movie started out feeling like it was the 1950s, but the entire second half took place in some faraway fairy-land that just didn't suit the time period. What made Indy beating up Nazis so exciting was that it tied him in to the whole epic of Nazi paranoid delusionists traveling around the world messing stuff up. The Communists in this movie were poorly connected to anything.
They should have had the story set in Central America, not the Amazon, and you could have Indy wind up in some secret (or not so secret) struggle between the CIA and Soviet-backed guerrillas. The Cold War was all about Americans versus Russians and everyone else paying the price. It needs a completely different sensibility than the "evil empire" of the Nazis. Central America would fit better with the history of archaeology too- at that time the "mysterious" Maya were all the rage and the theories about them were pretty wacky. Archaeology in the middle of the Amazon is a present-day obsession and in my opinion just doesn't fit.

Dallas Stars Game Previews
Dallas Stars Gameday
Dallas Welcomes Auston Matthews And The Maple Leafs To Town Tonight
The Stars look to move closer to a playoff spot as they host Toronto at the AAC.

Share All sharing options for: Dallas Welcomes Auston Matthews And The Maple Leafs To Town Tonight
Thank you, Vancouver Canucks. With the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights chasing the wild card spots in the Western Conference, it's nice to watch a Vegas loss.
Now, for the Stars. They've got a chance tonight to jump out to a three-point lead over Vegas in the standings. Remember, too, Dallas still has three games in hand. That's huge. But imagine what it will feel like to have two games in hand and be up three points on Vegas.
Now, that's easier said than done. Tonight's opponent, the Toronto Maple Leafs, has the MVP favorite and a team that has 96 points on the season. So, the Stars are definitely going to need to play their best game tonight.
Both teams played on Tuesday. The Stars got a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders; the Maple Leafs a 7-6 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers. The Stars defense will be key tonight. Toronto has scored 270 goals on the season. Only the Panthers have scored more. Meanwhile, Dallas has only given up 206 goals on the season. Having Miro Heiskanen back is a huge plus for this defense.
Stars potential lines
Jason Robertson (21) - Roope Hintz (24) - Joe Pavelski (16)
Jamie Benn (14) - Tyler Seguin (91) - Marian Studenic (43)
Joel Kiviranta (25) - Vladislav Namestnikov (92) - Alexander Radulov (47)
Michael Raffl (18) - Radek Faksa (12) - Luke Glendening (11)
Ryan Suter (20) - Miro Heiskanen (4)
Joel Hanley (44) - John Klingberg (3)
Thomas Harley (55) - Jani Hakanpaa (2)
Jake Oettinger (29)
Scott Wedgewood (41)
The Toronto Maple Leafs
As mentioned before, the Maple Leafs are an offensive machine. Toronto has two 30+ goal scorers (Auston Matthews - 54, Mitchell Marner -31), and they have William Nylander who has 27 goals, John Tavares with 25 and Michael Bunting at 20. This team is loaded with offense. Comparatively, the Stars have three guys with 25 or more goals, and they're all on the top line.
Matthews also has 41 assists to go with his 54 goals, while Marner has 57 assists. Of course, it's not quite fair that those two play on the same line either. The Stars' defensemen will have to be on their toes. It'll be interesting to see what defensive pairing Rick Bowness and staff try to put out there for the Leafs' top line as well.
Toronto Possible Lines
Michael Bunting (58) - Austin Matthews (34) - Mitchell Marner (16)
Ilya Mikheyev (65) - John Tavares (91) - Alexander Kerfoot (15)
William Nylander (88) - David Kampf (64) - Pierre Engvall (47)
Kyle Clifford (43) - Colin Blackwell (11) - Wayne Simmonds (24)
Morgan Reilly (44) - TJ Brodie (78)
