CARRIE WAS lounging beside the pool after swimming several laps. She hadn't seen Carmichael or Reuben, but knew at least one of them was where they could keep an eye on her. Not once did they give her any privacy outside her room.
Mr. Langford had gone to town that morning for a board meeting. She could expect him home by dinner, he had told her, kissing her forehead as he left the breakfast nook. She left her order with the cook to bring lunch out to the pool, trying to enjoy the luxury she'd been forced into. It wasn't very hard to do, she told herself, but she missed the life she'd had before.
Thoughts of those she worked with floated to the top of her mind. Would they have a missing-persons out for her? Would someone have seen the flyer Mr. Langford had out for Cynthia, thinking they were one and the same?
Someone who had been around her had to have seen it, that was the reason she found herself in the situation she was trying to enjoy. The man had offered a substantial reward for his wife's safe return, Mr. Langford had told her one evening as they sat around with their coffee, and now the informant was happily enjoying it, not knowing what havoc he or she had caused.
Or maybe it didn't matter to the person. She had worked at the factory for more than four years. Could, or would, the women was she friends with convince someone she wasn't the Cynthia Langford being sought? Surely, if anyone cared to check, her work record would be pulled and things put together. Then she would be rescued.
Rescued. The word went sround hee other thoughts, causing her to stiffle a laugh. Who in their right mind would want to be freed from all this? As this thought went through her head, she heard the pool house door open and close, although softly. Her eyes came up and focused on a man walking toward her, skirting the plants and few chairs between them. He was a younger version of the owner of this kingdom, a young man she had seen in one of the photographs in the library.
"I see my father was successful in finding you." He hadn't waited until he'd gotten close to speak. His timbre vibrated off the glass walls around them. "It's obvious you didn't take me seriously." The woman was a little different, were his thoughts, as he watched her intently. She had obviously changed her appearance some. "You have nothing to say, Cynthia?"
Whatever the woman had done, she saw in him a strong dislike for her. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not Cynthia." She was getting tired of telling everyone, having no one listen. "My name is Carrie Phillips, but I know I can't convince you any more than I can your father." The last words came out in a disgusted sigh, yet it held a whimsical sound.
Sitting in a chair near her, he studied her with more scrutiny. "Your eyes are a bit bluer, contacts I suppose." He was reasoning the changes. "You've restyled your hair. It's becoming." His voice lowered in volume, yet the animosity remained. "The weight loss didn't hurt a thing." The man looked at her to see if there were other physical changes. "You've changed your speech a little, it almost sounds natural." With these words came hostility and he narrowed his brown eyes. "But you can't fool me, Cynthia. I haven't changed at all."
She hated the feeling of being analyzed by this person and his malicious look. Standing, she took three steps forward, diving into the cool water. Resurfacing, she turned, swimming back to the side nearest him. "I don't know what Cynthia did to justify your hatred. It must have been pretty awful. All I know is I've been trying for a week to get your father to take me back home, or at least let me leave. I can't get out of his sight for a moment." The contempt was wrapped around her words. Standing on the bottom of the pool, she rested her arms on the edge, looking up at him much in the same way he had been studying her. "At night he has a guard posted outside my bedroom door. During the day, if he can't be right there, one of his goons will be."
Listening to her, watching her, he asked himself if Cynthia could have changed that much in so short a time. He had doubts about that. It was an uncanny likeness, but this couldn't be his step-mother.
"It isn't that I haven't enjoyed his hospitality, you understand. If things were different, I might even appreciate living here. It's such a change from Akron." Carrie was thinking out loud to herself, eyes still focused on him, not seeing what they looked at. "If I stay here much longer, I'm not sure I'll be able to go back to a working life. Your father is more than spoiling me."
Pushing from the edge, she let her body float, dreamily thinking it was a pity to want to return to what she had of life before.
"Isn't that Cynthia's suit?" He was standing beside the pool, still watching her.
She continue speaking in a quiet voice, answering him. "I wasn't allowed to pack anything I might have wanted of my own personal belongings, you see."
Sitting on his heels, he was becoming curious about her. "How did you come to be here, exactly?"
Not so far from him she was back, lifting herself out of the water, sitting on the edge before getting to her feet. At her lounge chair, she picked up the large, soft towel, patting her face. "I was kidnaped on my way to meet some friends." The matter-of-fact way she spoke would have be hard for her to believe. How could she convince this man what she was saying was true? "You don't think I am Cynthia, do you?" It had just dawned on her, the words he had spoken.
"You're certainly being calm about it." Maybe he had been wrong. If so, he wanted to put this woman in movies. She was a very good actress, if she was Cynthia.
Sitting in her seat again, the hopeful look faded. She could see he was changing his mind again. "Seeing that no one has tried to hurt me, I can't see keeping myself all worked up about it." She related her thoughts on the wanted poster of Cynthia and her friends back home. As she spoke, he returned to his chair. "At first I was terrified, and afraid your father might force himself on me. He really believes I'm his wife." She almost couldn't contain the smile, thinking how it might be, being his wife, with all the comforts she'd had around her the past week. "Although I think he's too old for me, the thought isn't that unattractive. I've never had so much attention, so many people willing to make my life comfortable." Back on her feet, she decided it was time to go in and put some clothes on, as he was still studying her too closely for her peace of mind.
Following her lead, he shadowed her toward the house. The towel she had been carrying on her arm came around her halfway down the path, covering the sway he'd been enjoying. This definitely was not Cynthia, as the other woman's walk had a purposeful swing.
"Are you following me?" She had turned halfway to the second floor, stopping his progress as well.
"I'm interested in knowing a few more things concerning you." His answer came as they continued upward. "I'd like to know who you really are and where you came from. You said Akron. Ohio?"
At her door, she turned. "That's what I said." Giving her personal information to him, she felt as though she was still getting nowhere. "I even tried to get your father to call my parents, but he said I probably paid someone to pretend to be my parents in case anyone called to check on my story. Whatever I've suggested, he has shot down with some rationalization. So, I kind of gave up trying, and am waiting for someone in Akron to put two and two together. I'm sure the law can convince your father he took the wrong woman. I do hope, for his sake, they aren't going to slap an abduction charge on him. He's been nothing but considerate and generous. I almost love the old man, but not in the sense that a wife would." She had rambled on knowing she should have stopped long before.
"Carrie, you say it is?" He watched her head nod. "All right, Carrie, you've convinced me. I only see a physical resemblance to my step-mother, everything else tells me you are who you say you are. I'll try to help you convince my father."
Mistaken Identity by Jan Abney | See Bio >
Carrie has just broken up with her possessive boyfriend. She's ready to celebrate with a few of
her co-workers. Parking in a garage, she gets out of her car to find two men grabbing and pushing
her into the back of a limousine. All the door handles and window buttons have been removed
from the back doors. There is no way for her to escape.
Traveling all night, Carrie finds herself in a very large house. Mr. Langford, a wealthy man, is
brought into the room where she is sitting with one of the driver's watching her.
"Cynthia." He greets her. In his tone she hears that he has missed her.
"My name is Carrie, Mr. Langford."
But she cannot convince anyone that she is not Mrs. Cynthia Langford, the older man's wife.
After several days, Carrie is resigned to being captive. There is always one of Mr.Langford's
goons watching her, making sure she cannot leave him again.
Lounging around the pool one day, a younger version of her proposed husband came in and
confronted her. He believes this is Cynthia, and he has a hatred for the woman. Carrie explains
how she came to be there, and who she is. Clint begins to see that it is only a physical
resemblance. It's uncanny, and he has to keep reminding himself that this isn't his step-mother.
Helping her get away from the mansion one night, Clint takes her home. She finds she's lost
her job, but what bothers her most is worry that the Langford goons will come back and take her
again. Her worries become reality, but she dodges their attempts. She doesn't want to go back to
the luxury she had found for that week and a half. Though Mr. Langford was kind, and she could
have had everything she wanted, she was comfortable with her life in Akron.
But Mr. Langford wants his wife back, at any cost.

Your annual training and tournament plan is a critical part of your golf development process because it provides you with strategies that will guide you towards ideal performances at important times in your year.
Your new plan begins after your last tournament of the year and ideally is developed after the last transition phase. In constructing your plan you can objectively evaluate your performances with your golf instructor/coach from a technical, psychological, strategic and physical point of view to determine the direction of your plan going forward.
You will look for key performance indicators that have influenced performances in a positive or negative way in the previous year to determine what amendments and additions are added to the new plan.
Your golf instructor/coach will use this data plus his/her observations of your performances both in training and in tournaments to determine the structure of the plan.
The components that make up the golf training plan are not set in stone and need to be flexible enough to change direction as needed. They are guideline with a definite structure. Once you have obtained your tournament schedule (ideally not later than the last transition phase the previous year) for the next year you can sit down with your golf instructor/coach and decide which tournaments you wish to compete in and also decide on the key events you want to play your best in.
We have found that this structure works well for managing our students golf performances both on the practice ground and also in tournaments. There are certainly more complex forms used in training plans that you could employ however we always leave the option open in our plans for adding additional elements as needed.
Your plan will explain how you will approach improvement of your golf skills so that the result is a lower score average. This will mean that your annual plan is periodized into smaller more manageable chunks that will narrow your focus and encourage good practice.
Last week we discussed training phases and sub phases within the macrocycle. Your training and tournament plan should describe the type of work you will perform within training cycles called mesocycles and microcycles.
A mesocycle is a phase of training with a timeline of normally 2 to 6 weeks of microcycles. A microcycle is characteristically a week long and each microcycle is planned based on where it is in the overall macrocycle.
During the preparation phase, a mesocycle generally consists of 4 to 6 micro-cycles, while during the tournament phase it will usually consist of 2 to 4 micro-cycles depending on the tournament calendar.
Your goal is to fit the mesocycle into your golf training and tournament plans timeline to make each mesocycle end on one of the phases. Then your responsibility is to determine the workload required and what type of practice you will perform within each cycle based on where the mesocycle falls within your plan.
Why should you go to this trouble? Well, if your goal is to perform to the best of your ability in high priority tournaments then you would do worse than learning how to implement these important cycles into your training and tournament plan.
Remember the idea is to develop a plan flexible enough to change direction as needed. The future is conceptual not concrete so you need to plan your development keeping this in mind with your planning process.
Before we start constructing a golf training and tournament plan for our students we conduct a needs based analysis to determine what requirements will help to improve performances in the New Year.
So we carefully evaluate the students performances in the previous year in tournaments (called retrospective analysis) and look at scores in tournaments first, then we analyse the statistics of the different dimensions of their game which helps us to determine what training and performance factors in their makeup need to change to influence a lower score average in tournaments.
Performance forecasting (prediction) is a large part of your annual plan development and requires that you determine which golf skills and capabilities need to be improved upon throughout the year to generate peak performances in your most important golf tournaments.
Improving a competitive score average like improving a golf stroke pattern is a process, and every process needs a starting point and an end point before you construct the improvement process. We look at where the golfer is with their game and then predict where they will be at different periods throughout the year based on the their current capability, knowledge and experience.
By forecasting better results we find it helps the student to stay more focused on their short-term objectives as long as the targets are realistic and can be adjusted as required.
We determine the training priorities based on the students weakest-most important skills that would have the most positive effect on lowering their competitive score average. In our training and performance model we look at the technical elements of the full swing and less than full swing, shot-making elements, psychological elements and strategic elements.
All of these different processes in the training and tournament development process are introduced into the tournament schedule based on the importance of the tournament and also phase and sub phase of training you're in.
Amateur golf tournament schedules are normally quite different to professional tournament schedules. Amateur tournament schedules are typically sporadic in nature with a clump of tournaments here and there as opposed to a professional golf tournament schedule for a major golf tour that has tournaments virtually every week.
This requires careful management of time and resources to prepare properly for tournaments.
Too few tournaments are just as difficult to manage as too many! The idea is to never lose sight of your primary objective which is to lower your competitive score average. Whether you're working on golf swing technique or short-game or a mental skill the idea is that what you're doing is part of an overall plan to improve your golf scores so you can become more competitive.
In our experience this is the most common mistake made by elite amateur and professional golfers. They take more of a random and haphazard approach to improvement which almost certainly guarantees inconsistent results and plenty of frustration. With the upcoming year approaching now is the time to be putting your plan together for next year to give yourself the performance edge you are looking for.
I think that you'll discover that a planned approach to improvement beats the no planned approach all day everyday!
We're in the middle of developing a complete program of videos showing you how to create a winning training and tournament plan that is guaranteed to improve your performances in golf tournaments.
We'll let you know when we finish the training modules so until then thanks for reading our blog and we'll talk again next week.

Torg - An astoundingly real robot! Santa turns him into a toy.
Chochem - Ancient and wise Martian.
Voldar - Evil Martian who hates toys, laughter, and fat guys in red suits.
Anytime you want to watch the worst darn Christmas movie ever this little gem is waiting for you. When Kimar and the other members of Mars' ruling council can't make their children happy a short meeting with Chochem provides a solution, kidnap Santa Claus from Earth! Kimar leads a small raiding party (Which includes Voldar, why bring the guy most against something?) to Earth, after first grabbing Billy and Betty they arrive at Santa's Workshop. At this point a silly little section occurs with the Earth children briefly escaping and wandering around the North Pole in clothes barely suited for late autumn, Torg recaptures them before reality sets in and they freeze to death. Though defended by fearless elves, one of whom grabs a baseball bat before being frozen, the chubby guy is taken at last. Having survived the trip to Mars, including Voldar trapping him in an airlock and hitting the open button, Santa is put to work making toys. This is another planet though, so the workshop is a button console, when you flip a switch any random number of times the correct number of baseball bats, dolls, etc fall out of hatches. Voldar had been glumly awaiting his trial, but he escapes and sabotages the toy machine. By a silly twist of fate Dropo happens to come dancing in wearing a Santa suit, now the bungling villains think they have Saint Nick hostage. Will Dropo escape? Can Santa bring happiness to Mars? Will Billy and Betty ever see their home again? Actually, yes to all, but it's still grand to watch. Put reality aside, especially anything you learned in science class, and revel in the badness this holiday season.
There are worse Christmas songs than "Jingle Bells."
Santa has a reindeer named "Nixon."
Eating a hamburger in the shape of a pill is unappetizing.
Saturn is clearly visible from Mars, appearing about the same size as our moon does to us.
Ponderous B-52 bombers are scrambled to intercept UFOs.
Santa would never make it as a stand up comic.
Even Martian guys stuff their pants.
Four kids using ping-pong balls and soap bubbles can take on one grown man who is armed with a disintegration ray.
6 mins - Why is the snow on that guy not melting?
13 mins - Septober? What sort of a goofy hybrid month?
30 mins - You two kids are going to freeze to death; I am actually happy about this.
34 mins - Oh no! It's some guy dressed in a polar bear suit!
50 mins - They are going to escape the airlock via a duct?
66 mins - These morons cannot tell the difference between Santa and Dropo in a red suit?
santamars1.wav Voldar: "All this trouble over a fat little man in a red suit."
santamars2.wav Betty: "What are those funny things sticking out of your head?"
Martian: "Those are our antenna."
Betty: "Are you a television set?"
santamars3.wav Newscaster: "And Mrs. Santa Claus has positively identified the kidnappers as Martians."
santamars4.wav Martian: "Where are you going?"
Martian: "Can't you say anything else, but 'ho, ho, ho?'"

Q: Repeating x axis labels for all facets using FacetGrid in seaborn I am working with the FacetGrid example presented here that results in the plot below. In my data set, there is quite a lot of plots, and it would be convenient to have the x axis labels repeated for each facet, not only at the bottom.
For this example, the values 62, ..., 76 should be repeated for each of the A-J facets.

A: Just add the following lines after your def label(): function. Although the plot doesn't look that good with the modification you want.
for ax in g.axes.flat:
    _ = plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), visible=True)

Output

A: The answer by Bazingaa works for matplotlib version 2.0.2. For newer versions of matplotlib, using ax.tick_params() and setting labelbottom=True seems to work:
for ax in g.axes.flatten():
    ax.tick_params(labelbottom=True)

By feeding birds, especially through the harsh winter months and when they are bringing up their young, you will not only be doing your bit to arrest the decline in our native British songbirds but also you will get endless pleasure from watching them come and go. The secret is to have as many types of food available as possible as different species have different requirements. Consider four types of food as a sensible minimum – mixed birdseed, fat balls, peanuts and water. Other possibilities exist if you are trying to attract specific types of bird for instance niger seed for goldfinches or mealworms for robins. Seeds and mealworms are best presented on a table whereas peanuts and fatballs are conveniently put into specific feeders. Water obviously requires some sort of dish. If you have cats in you neighbourhood you must site your feeding station away from cover from which these predators can pounce and catch the birds. Other than this, site your station where it can be seen from a window – usually kitchen or lounge, so that you can watch the action. See how many different species you can attract. Feeding stations make ideal presents, especially for the elderly who especially appreciate the birdlife and may have more time to study them.

REVIEW: Three Tall Women (Court Theatre)
Posted on January 25, 2011 by Scotty Zacher
Three strong women champion Albee's tale of end-of-life regrets
Court Theatre presents
Three Tall Women
Written by Edward Albee
Directed by Charles Newell
at Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis (map)
through Feb 13 | tickets: $10-$50 | more info
Edward Albee's 1994 play Three Tall Women breathed new life into the legendary playwright's career. Although works like Zoo Story and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf were instant classics, many thought Albee had finished cranking out the good stuff by the 1990's. The doubters were put in their place with this meditative piece, a half-exorcism, half-eulogy closely linked to Albee's own experiences with his deceased adoptive mother. Finding himself king of the American absurdism hill again, Albee took home a Pulitzer prize and found receptive audiences for his later plays, which include The Goat, or Who is Silvia? and The Play About the Baby (both of which also garnered many awards).
Three Tall Women examines a life, but with a fractured and multifaceted lens, Albee's trademark style. The three women are really only different versions of one, an old former socialite on her deathbed. The woman, a semi-fictional representation of Albee's own mother, lived a life rife with pleasures and regrets. She came from poverty and learned fast about love and society, and ended up a wife and mother (with heavy doses of infidelity and familial strife). Although the play eschews any neat moral, you leave the theatre with a new comprehension for how the seconds of life tick away.
The first act rolls along slowly. The protagonist, A (the remarkable Lois Markle), sits on her bed, recounting and rambling about her 90+ years of life experience. She is attended on by B (the also remarkable Mary Beth Fisher), who is some type of live-in nurse. Also in the room is C (Maura Kidwell), a lawyer's assistant intent on getting to the bottom of some financial inaccuracies. The trio trade barbs and gems about life, but mostly they listen to the occasionally incoherent tales of A. Death is a constant presence, but it isn't the main focus of all conversation. The first act characters dust the inevitability of death under the rug until right before intermission.
Dying, life, and regret become the center of Act Two. A's condition has deteriorated. She lies in a bed, wired to monitors. However, Albee has the woman—or women—discuss her life in front of the body. A, B, and C are now several personifications of the same woman. C is the 26-year-old girl, B is the embittered 52-year-old spouse, and A is the finale of the woman's life. They argue, teach, and advise. C can't believe she becomes B, and B can't imagine how she transforms into A. Yet they all face death together. The comatose A has a visit from her son (a lineless Joel Gross), which inspires completely different reactions from each incarnation.
Director Charles Newell assembled a shining group of women for his cast. Markle, who was referred by Albee himself, gives a magical, heartfelt performance. Fisher keeps up with her, packing her portrayal of B with sass and vulnerability. Kidwell stumbles in the first act, unable to give C the layers required. However, any young actress is going to look unpolished when placed on-stage with such seasoned performers as Markle and Fisher. But Kidwell picks it up after intermission and holds her own.
In general, the first act feels clunky and languid. Act Two has a completely different energy, and Newell isn't afraid to try some risky staging. It pays off. The latter half is exponentially more engaging, especially with Fisher's and Markle's talents.
It really doesn't matter much how biographical or fictional Three Tall Women actually is. Albee, Newell, and the cast find universal truths in the woman's story. We all are going to die, no matter our age now. It is one thing about the future we can be sure of.

Père Magloire, partner of the 20th Honfleur Festival of Russian Cinema
in Pere Magloire
by Spirit France
Père Magloire was once again partner for this festival of Russian cinema, which has grown over the years and plays host to the greatest Russian actors and filmmakers.
The biggest names in French cinema, including Jean Becker, Robert Hossein, Josée Dayan, Jacques Dorfmann, Nina Companeez and many more, also came to celebrate this anniversary year.
The Père Magloire brand had an excellent presence throughout the festival, notably with a private tour of the house cellars for Russian actors and directors which ended with a tasting of top-of-the-range varieties.
At the closing night event, Père Magloire calvados received recognition when Aleksei Guskov was awarded an ISADORA carafe for his magnificent performance in the film The Concert. Pavel Lounguine, a famous Russian filmmaker and passionate fan of the brand, was given a 20 year old Calvados Père Magloire to celebrate his career in cinema. These trophies were very much appreciated by the two great stars of Russian film.

Short explanation: Certain details in your book or chapter are not appropriate for all Storybird readers.
More info: Some books and chapters contain characters who are encountering, participating in, or making decisions about "mature" activities (like physical relationships/activity or drinking/drug use), or who are in the midst of or recovering from challenging, mature experiences (like miscarriage, abuse, depression, etc).
Because Storybird is home to readers of all ages (and often used in school environments), we ask writers to be responsible and thoughtful when they create stories that include these themes and topics.
If your story contains overly-graphic details, explicit or vulgar descriptions, overly-detailed accounts of mature topics, or writing that would be better suited for an audience of adult readers, we will ask you to edit/revise it or consider making it a private story, rather than a part of our public library. This is to help preserve Storybird's safe environment. While we believe in giving writers room to explore and share their creativity, readers are also an important part of our community, and respecting their boundaries and sensitivities is equally a priority.

So, if you're experiencing one of those times that you decide you just need to let yourself be super indulgent & gluttonous, this is the recipe you should use to fulfill your chocolate/sugar-fiend craving.
Bread pudding is always good, but bread pudding made with buttery croissants with chunks of gooey dark chocolate is ridiculous good. You will also appear to all who taste this to possess amazing baking skills, even though the assembly of this dessert takes 5 minutes, tops.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8 x 8 (or 2 quart) baking dish.
Roughly tear croissants into 1 inch pieces. Place half of the croissants pieces in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle in half of the chocolate chunks. Add the remaining croissants and top with the rest of the chocolate pieces.
In a large bowl, combine half and half, sugar, salt, vanilla and eggs. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Pour over croissants in baking pan.
Allow the croissants to soak up the liquid for for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for approximately 50-55 minutes until puffed and custard is just set in the middle. Let rest at least 10 minutes before serving.


What Short Cycling Can Do to Your Furnace | Cliffs Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc.
You should be keeping close watch on your furnace during the winter season, as it's the most stressful time of year for the system. More demand on the furnace means more wear and tear, which means a greater likelihood for problems to develop. One of the biggest warning signs that you need to call for repairs is if your furnace turns itself on and off every few minutes during operation. That's called short cycling, and if you're not careful it could destroy your system.
There are a couple of different things that could cause your furnace to short cycle, but the most common cause is heat becoming trapped in the system. This can happen because of an air handler failure, which cuts off the flow of air through the furnace, or because of a clogged air filter, which essentially causes the same issue.
As the temperature in the furnace rises, the limit switch shuts the system down to prevent it from overheating. The furnace will cool off for a short time, then restart and attempt to finish its heating cycle when it has dropped to a safe level. The problem is that without solving the root cause of the overheating, the furnace will just overheat and shut down again. This cycle continues indefinitely.
The constant stop/start rhythm of short cycling does a couple of things to the furnace. First, it dramatically lessens the output of the system. Second, it significantly increases the wear and tear on the system. The furnace will have breakdowns far more often, and its lifespan will be shortened significantly as a result. This is why you should call for repairs as soon as you notice your furnace short cycling.

Q: Firestore-Rules evaluation error on Timestamp Field I wrote a firestore rule like this:
function isPublished() {
  return !('publicationAt' in resource.data.keys()) ? true :
    debug(debug(request.time) >= debug(resource.data.publicationAt));
}

and in my app i´m saving several datetimes just with new Date();
Now, I´d like to get a list of all items that are published - but it gives me an evaluation error - with this debug:

constraint_value {
simple_constraints {
comparator: LTE
value {
timestamp_value {
seconds: 1669108946
nanos: 684000000
}
}
}
}
timestamp_value {   seconds: 1669108945   nanos: 727000000 }

Can someone give me a hint what I´m doing wrong?

A: While you may be tempted to think that Security Rules Language (SRL) is JavaScript because of the function() {} part, it is not. It is a special statically evaluated language that gets interpreted once without other common features like iteration.
Importantly, the SRL has no ternary operator:
<condition> ? <result-when-true> : <result-when-false>

Instead you must build your conditions as a sequence of Boolean tests making use of the available helper methods and classes.
The equivalent in basic Boolean algebra of the ternary operator (when using short-circuiting operators like && and ||) is:
(<condition> && <result-when-true>) || (NOT(<condition>) && <result-when-false>)

Substituting in the value for <result-when-true>, we can reduce down your expression using Boolean algebra laws (where the AND operator (&&) is ∧ and the OR operator (||) is ∨):
(<condition> && <result-when-true>) || (NOT(<condition>) && <result-when-false>)

// replace <result-when-true> with TRUE, as in your question
(<condition> && TRUE) || (NOT(<condition>) && <result-when-false>)

// now remove the redundant "&& TRUE" (see "Identity of ∧")
<condition> || (NOT(<condition>) && <result-when-false>)

// now distribute the OR operator (see "Distributivity of ∨ over ∧")
(<condition> || NOT(<condition>)) && (<condition> || <result-when-false>)

// now replace (<condition> || NOT(<condition>)) because it will always be TRUE (see "Complementation 2")
TRUE && (<condition> || <result-when-false>)

// now remove the redundant "TRUE &&" like before (see "Identity of ∧")
<condition> || <result-when-false>

Subsituting in the parts from your question, this leaves us with:
   !('publicationAt' in resource.data.keys())
|| debug(debug(request.time) >= debug(resource.data.publicationAt))

You can also simplify 'publicationAt' in resource.data.keys() to just 'publicationAt' in resource.data (as the in operator handles what you were expecting for rules.Map objects), giving us:
   !('publicationAt' in resource.data)
|| debug(debug(request.time) >= debug(resource.data.publicationAt));

This means the correct form of your SRL function would look like:
function isPublished() {
  return !('publicationAt' in resource.data)
      || debug(debug(request.time) >= debug(resource.data.publicationAt));
}


When I bought my first urban house, it was 3 months before the first house sparrow was observed putting foot on it. Small wonder - the front was 2,4-D-purified scalped grass, bone dry and in full sun, most of the back was a swimming pool filled with chlorine, and the rest of the back, where the children were fenced in to keep them out of the house and pool, was bare earth trampled so hard that even dandelions couldn't grow in it.
Ten years later, I had 6 species of birds nesting on it - cardinal, song sparrow and chippy in the back hedge, starlings in a box, 3 house sparrows in boxes, and robins on top of one of the sparrow boxes. Each summer day, I typically had 20 species as visitors (landing, not just flying overhead). My final total was 41.
The health of all life begins with the soil. Healthy soil is alive, consisting mostly of living roots and living organisms that recycle dead things back into living ones. There has to be a process for recycling every last bit of every living thing in that soil. All those processes have to work together, in a self-stabilizing ecology, for true soil health.
Grasses are the weediest plants on earth, but even they can't grow everywhere. A healthy lawn is green, mowable, comfortable to walk on in bare feet, and good to wiggle your toes in. It doesn't have to be 100% grass. Yarrow grows much better than grass in the mulch of hulls that builds up under a bird feeder, thyme better between stones of a walkway - both are naturally mowed-grass height. Lily-of-the-valley is a better ground cover than anything else in total shade, the native fringed loosestrife Lysimachia ciliata or Lamium album selections good in deep shade. More choices here. All make your soil more biodiverse than pure grass.
Fruit-bearing shrubs and trees that hold their fruit through winter and into the spring supply natural food for many birds when they most need it. Crabapples grow reliably in Ottawa, and are widely available. The variety 'Profusion' is slow growing, but nothing beats it here as a reliable robin tree in the spring (unless a flock of waxwings strips it during winter!).
Most people think first of bird houses when they think of attracting birds. Actually, that should be the last thing you do - get everything else right for birds first. A high thick cedar hedge is the best there is for breaking winter winds on an urban lot here. A shrubby berry or small-fruit tree gives safe refuge in summer - birds best avoid the predator they can see to dodge.
