Frontman-songwriter Sam Endicott and keyboardist John Conway were classmates at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY in the late '90s. As freshmen, their musical partnership began inauspiciously, playing local bars in mock-ska band Skabba the Hutt, which also included CSI: Miami star Jonathan Togo. The two went on to play together in numerous bands and recording projects, including new wave outfit Conquistador. Upon moving to NYC in early '00s, Endicott switched from bass guitar to vocals and began writing the music that would later become "The Bravery". Guitarist Michael Zakarin joined after answering an advert in a local paper, and brought with him bassist Mike Hindert, a classmate of his from Georgetown University in Washington, DC.

L'isola di Garda, originariamente Monastero Longobardo connesso a Brescia, della regina Ansa, era detta anche Schwaben, conosciuta anche come isola di Svevia di Federico I Hohenstaufen detto Barbarossa, poi Borghese o isola dei Frati, è la più grande isola del lago omonimo.

Distante poco più di 200 metri da Capo San Fermo, promontorio che divide il golfo di Salò dalla baia dello Smeraldo, misura all'incirca un chilometro di lunghezza ed è larga in media 60 metri.

A sud dell'isola si trova una catena di scogli e bassi fondali, alla fine dei quali emerge l'isolotto di San Biagio, conosciuto anche come Isola dei conigli; in prossimità dell'isola si trova lo Scoglio dall'Altare, così chiamato in quanto si racconta che su di esso una volta all'anno venisse celebrata una messa alla quale assistevano i pescatori provenienti da tutto il lago a bordo delle loro barche.

Amministrativamente l'isola appartiene al territorio comunale di San Felice del Benaco.

Storia
L'isola fu abitata sin dall'epoca romana, quando era conosciuta come Insula Cranie.
Ciò è provato dal rinvenimento di numerose lapidi gallico-romane (ora conservate al museo romano di Brescia) e da resti di templi votivi.

Abbandonata nei secoli di decadenza dell'Impero Romano, per lungo tempo l'isola fu rifugio dei pirati, che assaltavano le imbarcazioni che percorrevano le rotte del lago di Garda.

Nell'879 viene per la prima volta menzionata in un decreto di Carlomanno di Baviera, che documenta la donazione dell'isola ai frati di San Zeno di Verona.

Non si sa per quanto tempo l'isola rimase proprietà dei monaci, in quanto la successiva notizia la vede facente parte, intorno al 1180, del feudo concesso dall'imperatore Federico Barbarossa agli avi di Biemino da Manerba.

Nel 1220 san Francesco d'Assisi, di ritorno da un viaggio in oriente, giunse a visitare l'isola e, reputandola luogo ideale per una comunità di frati, grazie al suo carisma convinse il proprietario Biemino da Manerba a donargli l'area scogliosa della parte settentrionale, ove venne realizzato un piccolo romitorio.

Nel 1227 l'eremo accolse sant'Antonio di Padova e nel 1304, secondo la tradizione, avrebbe ospitato anche Dante Alighieri, che avrebbe ricordato il luogo nella Divina commedia con i versi:

Nel 1429 vi giunse san Bernardino da Siena, che in veste di vicario generale dell'ordine francescano fece trasformare il romitorio in un vero e proprio monastero, mettendo egli stesso mano al progetto per la chiesa, il chiostro, le celle e i giardini.

L'isola divenne un importante centro ecclesiastico di meditazione e ospitò illustri personaggi religiosi, tra cui il vice-generale dell'Ordine francescano padre Francesco Licheto, che a partire dal 1470 vi istituì una scuola di teologia e filosofia. La morte di padre Francesco segnò tuttavia l'inizio della decadenza della comunità religiosa dell'isola. Dal 1685 al 1697 il convento ospitava solo i frati novizi in ritiro e, nel 1798, l'oramai vetusto monastero venne definitivamente soppresso da Napoleone Bonaparte.

Nella chiesetta dei frati venne sepolto nel 1565 il condottiero Alessandro Fregoso, figlio di Giano Fregoso, doge di Genova, che a suo tempo aveva acquistato l'isola.

Dopo essere passata al demanio, la proprietà cambiò negli anni successivi molti padroni, per giungere nel 1817 nelle mani del conte Luigi Lechi di Brescia, che fece costruire una residenza sulle rovine del monastero e eseguì importanti opere di restauro e costruzione, tra le quali il porticciolo, costruito nel 1830 su progetto dell'architetto Rodolfo Vantini.
Nell'isola dimorò per molto tempo la cantante lirica Adelaide Malanotte, amante del Lechi, meravigliosa interprete delle opere del Rossini.
Nel 1837 il conte cedette l'isola al fratello Teodoro, ex generale dell'esercito napoleonico, il quale fece aggiungere al complesso le terrazze sul fronte della casa.

Nel 1860 l'isola fu espropriata dallo Stato per costruirvi una fortezza militare, ma il progetto venne in seguito abbandonato e nel 1870 l'isola arrivò nelle mani del duca Gaetano de Ferrari di Genova.
Con la moglie, la nobildonna russa Maria Sergeevna Annenkova, si dedicò alla progettazione ed alla realizzazione del parco, con la costruzione di muri di contenimento verso il lago e il trasporto di terra fertile in cui vennero impiantate essenze autoctone.
Prima della morte del duca, avvenuta nel 1893, concepirono insieme il progetto di un lussuoso palazzo da costruirsi al posto della vecchia casa Lechi. La villa, in stile neogotico-veneziano che ricorda il Palazzo ducale di Venezia, venne realizzata tra il 1894 e il 1901 su progetto dell'architetto genovese Luigi Rovelli. Il palazzo fu arricchito da terrazze sistemate a giardino all'italiana, con elaborati disegni di siepi e cespugli fioriti.

Alla morte della duchessa la proprietà passò alla figlia Anna Maria – in seguito sposa del principe romano Scipione Borghese – la quale ne fece la propria residenza e arricchì il parco con essenze esotiche.
Nel 1927 alla morte del principe, l'isola passò in eredità alla figlia Livia, moglie del conte bolognese Alessandro Cavazza. I suoi pronipoti, che ancora oggi la abitano continuando ad occuparsi del parco e della conservazione del palazzo, dal 2002 hanno aperto l'isola alle visite turistiche.

Solution, Putney's FDA approved generic of Rimadyl® Injectable. With this product, Putney now sells FDA approved generic versions of all three Rimadyl® drugs. In addition to Carprofen Sterile Injectable Solution, Putney also offers FDA approved Carprofen Chewable Tablets and Carprofen Caplets.
Jean Hoffman, Putney CEO and President, says veterinarians are eager for veterinary generics and are gaining access to Putney's products through the company's network of regional distributor partners, despite Zoetis' efforts to limit generic competition. "Putney is helping veterinarians make pet healthcare more affordable for their pet owner clients by bringing new FDA approved veterinary generic medicines to the market. Many of our recent product launches, such as Dexmedetomidine HCl (generic of Dexdomitor®) and Carprofen Chewable Tablets (generic of Rimadyl® Chewable Tablets), are first-to-market generics with same dosage form as the brand, giving veterinarians prescribing options they've never had before," says Hoffman.

Well, it's that time of year when my thoughts turn toward my personal end-of-year expense reporting and analysis,one of my favorite things to do. Soon, I'll be posting my ranked 2011 expenses for all the world to see.
I also enjoy goal-setting for the coming year, and enjoy reading others' goals, too. However, my financial goals are not very substantial for 2012, seeing as how I'm not working. Every penny I make must go into the checking account to pay for everyday living expenses. Retirement savings has been on hold for a while now.
I think I've already proven I'm pretty good at cutting expenses, but there's really not much of anything left to cut, unless I go live in a hut with the aborigines or decide I don't need running water anymore. The last significant thing I cut entirely was cable TV.
Perhaps a worthy goal would be really working harder to increase my freelance jobs. Like setting a goal of doing 3 things each week in pursuit of more freelance work. I tend to get a little lazy about it. I'm always browsing Craig's List, where I find a lot of different stuff, but I sort of consider that passively looking. I need to take more aggressive steps to market myself.
1. My one real estate client is pretty steady with giving me work, either PR or marketing copywriting. But there are times when I go weeks without hearing from them. I make about $50 to $60 an hour with them but it's not steady.
2. I worked f/t for about 6 weeks in April/May (contract job) for a start-up news website. $25/hr. It was nice while it lasted.
3. I spent most of the summer and into the fall editing a 346-page first novel for someone in my free time. $1,000.
4. I'll make another $1,000 or so on this current contract job updating an annual directory that's very much like the Writer's Market listings.
5. I've been editing more emails for the guy I found on Craig's List, but this is small potatoes, pay-wise. Maybe $20 a week. But it's ongoing. But, hey. If I could make $80 a month from him, it's no longer small potatoes. That could easily pay two utility bills, like electric and water. Or phone/Internet and sewer.
6. I did other miscellaneous freelance writing jobs for a local investment manager and a chemical distributorship website (both found via Craig's List), and 2 other people in the real estate business.
Well, anyway, aside from freelance writing, I'll also be reporting in a few weeks on $ I made from assorted product testing, focus groups, online surveys and academic research studies. There were not insignificant sources of income, as you'll see. Oh, and of course the credit card cash rewards.
I had a real scare last night and into this morning. Without warning, my Dell computer just froze up on me. When I rebooted, I got the b/w screen and some words, partially cut off, in the top left corner of the screen flashed in front of me. It read, "something board failure."
Now that could be a keyboard failure, which is no big deal, although my wireless keyboard/mouse is only 2 years old. OR, it could mean a motherboard failure, which would be a very big deal indeed.
Being out of work, minimizing expenses is always uppermost in my mind. When I bought the wireless keyboard for my new computer 2 years ago, I ended up with 2 perfectly good wired keyboards. One from the new computer, and one from my older computer which still worked fine. I vaguely remembered giving one to my mother, but she gave it back later,and I said, oh I don't need a spare, keyboards never give out. So I recycled them both at the landfill after trying unsuccessfully to sell them on Craig's List. Another example of how my anti-clutter nature sometimes trips me up.
So my mother mentioned she had an extra Gateway keyboard I could try out to see if it was just the keyboard. so this a.m. first thing I ran down there, picked it up and returned, only to find out that the darned thing is so old the plugs don't fit my newish computer. I should have known better.
So that was a wasted trip. And then I had to go right back to that same area so I could pick up a cheapie keyboard/mouse at Wal-Mart, still hoping it was just the keyboard, not a motherboard issue.
Spent just $23 for a Logitech keyboard and mouse and lo and behold,things started up just fine. Thank GOD. I'm still tempted to fiddle with the wireless keyboard. I did try changing the batteries in the back of it, of course, but I'm not sure the batteries I had on hand were completely charged. It might be worth it getting brand new batteries and trying it, just to see.
Anyway, I'm so relieved to have my computer running again and not freaking out about how much data I could lose. Although actually, most of my freelance work I could find and save again by going in the Sent folder of my yahoo email account since I always email my work to clients. All my photos would be on the memory card of my camera and I could download them all again if I had to. And older documents from 2 years ago and earlier would still be on the disk I saved stuff to when I bought my new computer 2 years ago and wanted to transfer it all over to the new computer. So it wouldn't have been a total loss.
I'm glad it was just your keyboard! As far as the info on your computer such as documents/photos, etc. - you might want to check into dropbox(.com I think) and box.com. You can store up to 5 MB (backup copies) for free.
I use box quite often when I create a document at home and need it at school.
I'm glad your computer is ok after all!
Whew, that was a close call on the computer issue! I'm glad that worked out well for you.


Download Free Veiled Sentiments Honor And Poetry In A Bedouin Society Book in PDF and EPUB Free Download. You can read online Veiled Sentiments Honor And Poetry In A Bedouin Society and write the review.
First published in 1986, Lila Abu-Lughod's Veiled Sentiments has become a classic ethnography in the field of anthropology. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Abu-Lughod lived with a community of Bedouins in the Western Desert of Egypt for nearly two years, studying gender relations, morality, and the oral lyric poetry through which women and young men express personal feelings. The poems are haunting, the evocation of emotional life vivid. But Abu-Lughod's analysis also reveals how deeply implicated poetry and sentiment are in the play of power and the maintenance of social hierarchy. What begins as a puzzle about a single poetic genre becomes a reflection on the politics of sentiment and the complexity of culture. This thirtieth anniversary edition includes a new afterword that reflects on developments both in anthropology and in the lives of this community of Awlad 'Ali Bedouins, who find themselves increasingly enmeshed in national political and social formations. The afterword ends with a personal meditation on the meaning—for all involved—of the radical experience of anthropological fieldwork and the responsibilities it entails for ethnographers.
Extrait de la couverture : " In 1978 Lila Abu-Lughod climbed out of a dusty van to meet members of a small Awlad 'Ali Bedouin community. Living in this Egyptian Bedouin settlement for extended periods during the following decade, Abu-Lughod took part in family life, with its moments of humor, affection, and anger. As the new teller of these tales Abu-Lughod draws on anthropological and feminist insights to construct a critical ethnography. She explores how the telling of these stories challenges the power of anthropological theory to render adequately the lives of others and the way feminist theory appropriates Third World women. Writing Women's Worlds is thus at once a vivid set of stories and a study in the politics of representation."
This work provides a case study of the deleterious effects of patriarchy among Palestinians living in rural villages and refugee camps of the West Bank: its negative consequences for men as well as women, for democratization and for progress toward the creation of a more just society.

Q: Entity expansion limit exceeded While trying to import a OWL-file into Stardog using Stardog Studio, I receive the following error message

The parser has encountered more than "100,000" entity expansions in
this document; this is the limit imposed by the application.

According to the Stardog forum and a number of online articles, this behaviour should be solved by setting jdk.xml.entityExpansionLimit property. I tried to set it to 2000000 using the following steps.

*

*Setting the STARDOG_SERVER_JAVA_ARGS='-DentityExpansionLimit=2000000 -Xmx8g' environment entry in docker-compose.

*Setting the STARDOG_SERVER_JAVA_ARGS='-Djdk.xml.entityExpansionLimit=2000000 -Xmx8g' environment entry in docker-compose.

*Creating a jaxp.properties file under the JDK lib folder containing either a jdk.xml.entityExpansionLimit=2000000 entry or a entityExpansionLimit=2000000 entry.

None of them seems to solve the problem... The same behaviour is posted in other SO-posts of 7 and 8 years ago, but they don't elaborate on the solution of the problem...
Did anyone found a solution for this behaviour? Any suggestions is highly appreciated!

A: Stardog doesn't allow users to change this setting (due to its security implications).
You'll need to convert the file to another format before loading it into Stardog.

A: For future reference to other users having the same problem.
I used Robot to convert the original ontology.

Luxury rentals attempt to triumph one another with bigger, better and swankier amenities. It's a game of cat and mouse between designers and developers, the great battle of style versus functionality.
The Livmore caters to those pursuing the condo lifestyle with outdoor space. Furthermore, with its central location in Toronto, there are lots to see and do including fine dining, shopping and entertainment. As a result, the combination of amenities and location make for city living at its finest.
Designed and built with 43 stories, the developers concentrated most of the residential amenities on the 5th floor. The dedicated areas include a game room, theatre, outdoor dog area, fitness area, and an outdoor terrace.
The spacious outdoor terrace overlooks the bustling streets of Toronto. It consists of places to lounge by a fireplace, barbeque for guests and a distinctive children's play section. Keeping a close eye on the details, LandArt Design specified retractable shades for added weather protection.
LandArt Design is especially unique, thoughtful and innovative. In fact, they have established their reputation through appealing and powerful designs in a wide range of projects. The skilled team found a way to help The Livmore residents make the most of their time outdoors.
LandArt proposed a couple of unique dual-post, dual-beam structures. Up to the challenge, ShadeFX customized structures to match the design, while providing a turnkey solution. From engineering stamps to installation, ShadeFX was part of every step through the journey.
Covering two separate outdoor areas on the 5thfloor, ShadeFX customized two unique structures and six corresponding canopies. The ShadeFX Service team erected a 'white aluminum' structure above the dining area with two 10′ x 8′ waterproof canopies. The children's play area also had a four-bay structure built overhead. Additionally, the service team mounted four 16′ x 10′ manual canopies tasked to protect delicate skin or allow subtle sunshine.
Thorough, responsive, and accommodating, the team at ShadeFX was always a pleasure to work with and were able to deliver a superb product with attentive service along the way. We are pleased with the excellent level of craftsmanship, the fine tolerances in detailing, and the ease of operation for the retractable canopies. They were able to deliver exactly what we were looking for and installation was seamlessly coordinated with the multiple other contractors and trades located on site.
Desiring the perfect balance between practicality and eye-catching, The Livmore found just that with their amenities, both indoors and out.

Doctor Who Project: Time-Flight
February 2, 2023 by Chris Baer
I've never heard such an extravagant explanation.
Never let it be said that Doctor Who skimps on season ending stories. For "Time-Flight" (Story Production Code 6C), Peter Grimwade's Season Nineteen finale, the BBC combines the best of British science fiction with the best of British (fine, Anglo-French) engineering by filming in and around the Concorde. John Nathan-Turner even manages to get permission for Grimwade to put British Airways' very expensive and prestigious airplane in jeopardy, with not one but two separate supersonic transports disappearing on approach to Heathrow. Try getting a major carrier to allow its livery in even the most benign piece of fiction nowadays.
In keeping with producer Nathan-Turner and script editor Eric Saward's devotion to continuity, we find the Doctor, Tegan, and Nyssa still in shock over Adric's demise, with the Doctor adamant that he cannot revisit his own history to undo the young Alzarian's death. As a peace offering, the Doctor offers to cheer everyone up with a quick visit to the Crystal Palace in 1851 for the Great Exhibition, as one does, only to find the TARDIS on a collision course with another object in time and space. After an emergency materialzation, the TARDIS appears over a runway at Heathrow in the present day (so, roughly 1982) before the Doctor "parks" the blue box in an observation overlook in Terminal One, which of course attracts some slight attention. The Doctor pops out to get a paper to check the cricket scores before being confronted by the authorities as a crestfallen Nyssa and Tegan look on.
Unlike the Doctor's last impromptu visit to an airport, "The Faceless Ones," the Fifth Doctor now has bureaucratic contacts of his own to call upon, and he shamelessly name drops UNIT and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, a pleasant call-back to a once-important feature of the series and and also a very convenient means of involving the Doctor in the disappearance of Concorde. Indeed, absent Whitehall's imprimatur, Grimwade would have needed to put the Doctor through a convoluted series of hoops—well, more convoluted, at any rate—in order to have him, Nyssa, Tegan, and the TARDIS as passengers on another Concorde flying the same descent approach as the missing plane into Heathrow, just to test a theory.
Which is not to say that Grimwade and director Ron Jones don't take their sweet time making anything actually happen in this four episode story. Having gained access to Heathrow and Concorde, the BBC take full advantage. Several scenes occur in the cramped cockpit, with the flight crew of the second jet (Richard Easton as Captain Stapley, Keith Drinkel as Flight Engineer Scobie, and Michael Cashman as First Officer Bilton) occupying nearly as much screen time as the Doctor and companions, calling out checklists and repeating radio instructions, while the plane itself, on a side tarmac on a snowy London day, features in plenty of glamour shots as our time travellers climb the long stairs to the entry.
Sure enough, the second Concorde disappears off the radar scope just like the first one, confirming the Doctor's suspicion that a "time warp" exists over the approach path to Heathrow. But despite the TARDIS registering a temporal displacement some one hundred and forty million years into the past, Stapley lands the Concorde right back at Heathrow, parking where they started. (British Airways wasn't going to actually move the plane for Doctor Who.) Or so it seems.
The Doctor feels something is wrong, and once everyone disembarks down a ladder that miraculously appears next to the airplane, Nyssa pierces the illusory veil. All around, nothing but rocks, as befits the Earth over a hundred million years prior, and, curiously, a wrecked spaceship and a lone stone building, quite out of place indeed. They have been tricked by a hallucination powerful enough to have momentarily affected even the Doctor, caused by a most unlikely foe…

Hedgerows and Heifers: Drop Zone Sainte-Mère-Église (MMP) Released
January 29, 2023 by Chris Baer
After a soft launch at Winter Offensive 2023, Multi-Man Publishing's latest Historical Module for Advanced Squad Leader, Drop Zone: Sainte-Mère-Église, has begun making its way to eager pre-order customers.
Focusing on the 82nd Airborne Division's efforts to secure a vital crossroads town to facilitate the breakout from Utah Beach after D-Day, Drop Zone: Sainte-Mère-Église, by designer Ken Dunn, takes gamers deep into the hedgerows of Normandy as the Americans confront the ramshackle defenses of the various German forces available to stem the inevitable tide. Coming in a thin 1.5″ deep box with cover art by Ken Smith, DZ: SME packs one countersheet, three 22″ x 30.5″ maps on nice semi-gloss paper (with combined dimensions of 22″ x 91.5″), eleven scenarios on cardstock, two chapter dividers on thick stock, and twenty-eight pages covering special rules and three campaign games.
A long paved road commands all three maps, tying them together north to south. The road pushes straight down the middle of all three maps lengthwise, cutting through open spaces lined with bocage and various small villages. With art by the inestimable Charlie Kibler and input from Sharon Boyd, the maps just scream, "Normandy," giving a very clear example of the endless hedgerow-enclosed fields stacked one upon the next, each a potential strongpoint to be overcome. Should the map dimensions also seem too much to overcome, only one of the campaign games uses all three maps at once; another CG uses two maps, and one CG and one of the eleven scenarios pulls most of two maps into play. The remaining ten scenarios require only portions of a single map—though, at first glance, most of those defy easy map folding, so consider a 22″ x 30.5″ play area the minimum needed for use of DZ: SME.
A cursory glance through the scenarios and campaigns suggests that only the ASL Rulebook, Beyond Valor, and Yanks! are required to play all of the scenarios and campaigns in DZ:SME, but one will still need to confront that most confounding of foes: bocage. Not quite a wall, more than a hedge, and as tall as a building, this fearsome terrain type that takes up over two pages in the ASLRB dominates proceedings here.
Suffice it to say that the Ken Dunn scenarios on offer in DZ: SME make it worth your while to untangle the rules thicket and finally learn how to play bocage. Though notionally all fairly simple actions depicting elite American infantry, predominantly from the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd, against mostly second-line (and lower) German defenders with a handful of guns and tanks, the special scenario rules elevate these scenario cards to rather intriguing affairs, including the option for "grenade barrages" in one and command confusion rules in another, to say nothing of the obligatory glider landing scenario. And, of course, the cows.
It's likely that DZ: SME will become known as the "cow module" because of the included rules for nudging Normande as moving cover and, alas, as minefield clearance tools, the latter use not in play in the sole scenario here that utilzes them, but included for the same reason that the panji rules in Chapter G are four pages long, for completeness sake. The rules feature my new favorite sentence in ASL, "A MMC possessing a Cow receives an additional +1 Ambush drm (A11.4)." Three cow counters are on the included countersheet, and one can imagine the cow rules will feature in many future scenarios, given, as Ken points out in his designer's notes, that animal casualties are a frequent, regrettable, and often overlooked, component of war.
The major new addition to the ASL countermix in DZ: SME is a new German squad type, a boxed second line unit with smoke grenade capability, both spray and assault fire underscores, and a short range, provided in squad and half-squad form representing well-trained but brittle late-war troops. Extra squads and vehicles for both sides pad out the existing counter supply for purposes of the Campaign Games, while Waco gliders adorned with black-and-white invasion stripes receive bespoke counters as well, a nice bit of visual chrome. Custom 82nd Airborne and German division control markers and a counter for the new "dual roadblock" round out the single countersheet. My copy shows razor sharp color registration and no bleed whatsoever, as has been typical of MMP products for a very long time now.
My tastes in ASL tend towards the esoteric, and I'd probably be happy playing nothing but Chinese vs. Japanese or Italian vs. Greek scenarios for the remainder of my gaming life, but there's an undeniable appeal to Drop Zone: Sainte-Mère-Église. Ken Dunn has provided a focused look at a very specific moment of the invasion of Normandy, adding his usual, and quite welcome, flair, all put together with the standard Multi-Man Publishing polish and high quality Charlie Kibler maps. It is a worthwhile purchase and a solid addition to the ranks of Historical ASL modules. It's easy to feel a bit sated and to take a publication like this for granted, given the amount of high quality Advanced Squad Leader content coming out these days, but had Drop Zone: Sainte-Mère-Église been published in the Avalon Hill days, it's all gamers would have been talking about for a very long time.

Village Victories: Winter Offensive 2023 Bonus Pack #14 (MMP) Released
Wargamers have once again flocked to Bowie, Maryland, for the East Coast's finest Advanced Squad Leader tournament, Winter Offensive 2023, where hosts Multi-Man Publishing released yet another of their annual bagged scenario-and-map Bonus Packs. This edition, the fourteenth, comes with three scenarios and two maps in the now-standard cardstock "Starter Kit" style, with proceeds from the sale of the pack—and the tournament generally—going to MMP's long-time charitable partner, the WWII Foundation.
The Winter Offensive Bonus Pack #14 retails for US$20 and features a glossy cover sheet with art showing smock-clad riders atop a tankette in a snowy scene by an uncredited artist, three scenarios (one backprinted on the cover sheet, the other on standard scenario cardstock) from Pete Shelling and Don Petros, and two maps, 89 and 90.
The maps share a similar road-grain-village theme and look quite sharp put together. Map 89 in particular stands out as a much needed addition to the cartographic canon, with a narrow two-to-three hex wide village of single story buildings running much of the length of the board, connected by dirt roads and surrounded by shellholes, grain, orchards, and a handy gully that will make for intriguing defensive possibilities. The other map, 90, provides a bit more open space but shares a similar rhythm of grain and roads as 89, making them a pleasant pairing.
All three scenarios, WO43-45, use the new boards, and given that they are all German vs. Russian affairs, this Bonus Pack marks the rare ASL product that can be played using only the ASL Rule Book and a copy of Beyond Valor. My relative indifference to German/Russian scenarios is well known, but I'm capable of appreciating fine scenario design, and there are some well considered situations and special scenario rules here.
The pick of the crop looks to be Don Petros' WO44 Little Village, pitting Russian defenders (using a trademark Pete Shelling fortification purchase chart) with a stout gun line and dug-in tanks against elite Germans with plenty of heavy metal of their own. At seven and a half turns and 16-20 squads per side, a reasonable diversion for a long game day, which is all any of us can ask.
On the whole, the 2023 Winter Offensive Bonus Pack more than earns its price, and the fact that the sales benefit a worthwhile charity makes it an easy purchase indeed.

Doctor Who Project: Earthshock
February 2, 2023 January 2, 2023 by Chris Baer
What are we supposed to have done?
Season Nineteen has been about change. A new Doctor stands at the helm of the TARDIS, and producer John Nathan-Turner has interwoven psychedelic psychological drama with pseudo-historical potboilers and manor house murder mysteries. The shift in tone from story to story leaves viewers guessing as to what comes next. None of it quite prepares viewers from Eric Saward's "Earthshock" (Story Production Code 6B), which takes Doctor Who to brand new ground: a companion dies.
The argument can be made that two prior companions have lost their lives in a story, with Katarina and Sara Kingdom both perishing during "The Daleks' Master Plan," but neither really "settles in" to life on the TARDIS to the extent that viewers develop a relationship to them, certainly not to the degree that viewers have come to know Matthew Waterhouse's Adric, the precocious and persnickety Alzarian maths whiz. Adric's TARDIS tenure has not been the smoothest—from his first appearance in "Full Circle," he has been an outsider, the butt of many a joke and never really given a chance to shine, to be the focus of a story. His single outing as the sole companion, "The Keeper of Traken," sees him sidelined almost immediately by Sarah Sutton's Nyssa, and in the very next story, "Logopolis," Janet Fielding's Tegan comes aboard, to say nothing about the little matter of Tom Baker regenerating into Peter Davison.
Nevertheless, Matthew Waterhouse does the best he can with the scripts, which so often lean into Adric's youth and callowness, and though few might proclaim Adric to be their favorite companion, he's firmly part of the TARDIS team, and indeed is the longest serving cast member by the time Eric Saward and John Nathan-Turner decide to remove him. Saward litters the script with foreshadowing of someone's demise, and there's more on-screen death in this story than has been seen in years, but the ending still has the power to shock, because it is ultimately a pointless death. Indeed, the most stunning aspect of "Earthshock" is not that Doctor Who finally had the narrative courage to fatally write off a companion but that it didn't matter at all to the story's outcome.
Which is not to say that Adric is not heroic or that his death does not matter. Rather, to have Adric try, and fail, to alter the course of a gigantic space freighter as it is about to hit prehistoric Earth speaks to the very heart of Doctor Who, particularly the new vision of it as conceptualized by Nathan-Turner and embodied by Peter Davison in the character of the Fifth Doctor. Where every other Doctor in every other story (save the Third Doctor in "Doctor Who and the Silurians") would have succeeded and rescued Adric, here, the Fifth Doctor fails, even as a plot to destroy Earth is foiled and history falls into its rightful patterns once more. His success, such as it is, comes, finally, at a cost. It's a sobering moment, one that hints at a depth in the Doctor only suggested before, and one that helps viewers forget that these guys show up again…

Lucky Thirteen: ASL Journal #13 (MMP) Released
December 29, 2022 December 28, 2022 by Chris Baer
Absolutely fresh off the printing press from those military-minded mavens of Millersville, Maryland, Multi-Man Publishing, comes the much awaited ASL Journal #13, a magazine dedicated to Advanced Squad Leader.
No longer just a plain periodical, the Journal has long since turned into a multi-media affair, and in addition to the usual assortment of articles devoted to everyone's favorite tactical level World War II conflict simulation, the fifty-two page Journal #13 features Board 77, a whopping thirty-three scenarios (including four in the new "pocket" format) separately printed on cardstock, and a replacement for the long rowhouse overlay, X20, that was misprinted in the ASL Overlay Bundle. The cover art, by Terence Cueno, depicts minefield clearing at El Alamein in 1942.
The articles in this issue of the Journal hearken back to some of the earliest ASL Annuals put out by Avalon Hill, with extensive tactical and statistical analyses of scenarios and rules sub-systems, with a particular focus in this issue on off-board artillery (OBA). Two of my old gaming buddies, Jim Bishop and John Slotwinski, have articles in this one, Jim on alternative OBA systems and John with a look at changes in a scenario updated by MMP when they re-released Yanks! several years back. It's an in-depth set of articles this time, perhaps more for the seasoned player looking to wring a slight edge out of the counters and dice than the newcomer just getting to grips with the game, but decent reading all the same.
Board 77, in the now-standard "Starter Kit" style, finally makes an "official" appearance after years of being available only in the Supplemental Map Bundle (and with no official scenarios that used it). To put it kindly, it is a board only a mother could love, as they say, a long, multi-level grain-festooned hill with crags and buildings scattered around haphazardly. That it comes from the imaginative mind of Ken Dunn explains much! Care has certainly been taken to make it playable, with contour lines popped out clearly via artistic openings in the hilltop grain fields. One seldom sees grain covering multiple levels, or indeed in that much profusion, and it's a striking board that will take some getting used to, but it's a worthy addition to the lineup all the same.
The scenarios, of course, are the star of the show, and new with Journal #13 are the "pocket" scenarios, PK1-4, featuring a full-color map printed on the card itself, measuring between six to eight standard map hexes tall and roughly ten to eleven hexes wide. I lack an encyclopedic knowledge of the map boards by sight, but they appear to be cut-down versions of existing maps with overlays, if any, pre-printed. It's a brilliant concept, ideal for a club meeting or quick match. Even though the forces deployed by each side are surprisingly hefty in each of the four scenarios, they have short turn lengths; the constrained scope for maneuver will see sharp actions from the off. There's no map or overlay info printed, making reproducing these scenarios via VASL more complicated, but that's not a major concern. I can only hope that we see far more of these self-contained cards, encouraging as they do in-person play.
The remaining twenty-nine scenarios cover a wide range of actions and fronts, from a dense action between the Japanese and Nationalist Chinese in 1937 Shanghai, a waterfront fracas pitting Albanians against Italians in 1939, Partisan action in Yugoslavia on Deluxe boards, and a full seven cards depicting Korean War confrontations to go along with the two KWASL articles in the Journal. Even the standard, near-mandatory German vs. Russian slugfest scenarios, the bane of many an ASL product and seldom proving interesting, look rather sharp this time out, including one set in far Northern Norway. I've already had to reorganize my scenario play list to fit several of these scenarios into the top of the queue.
As ever, to play it all you have to own it all, but even people just starting out with Advanced Squad Leader will find material of value here, and while it's true of most MMP ASL products, this one is a necessary purchase. There's really something for everyone in ASL Journal #13, and the scenarios, both "pocket" and regular, will undoubtedly be seeing heavy rotation on 2023's convention schedule.

Doctor Who Project: Black Orchid
January 2, 2023 December 2, 2022 by Chris Baer
Why didn't I leave after the cricket?
The TARDIS may be bigger on the inside than on the outside, but the typical Doctor Who story is larger still: worlds warring, cultures collapsing, aliens attacking, universes unravelling. Terence Dudley's "Black Orchid" (Story Production Code 6A) shrinks that scope to the quotidian, presenting a simple two episode murder mystery with little on the line except the Doctor's own fate, and in doing so, produces a tale grander than the usual galaxy-spanning fare. The actors, both guest stars and regular cast, take precedence over special effects and fantastical plotting. While most of Doctor Who's best stories are ones that it alone could tell, this noteworthy outing for the Fifth Doctor succeeds because it practically ignores everything unique about Doctor Who—except for the characters themselves.
After a disorienting opening sequence showing a violent strangulation, then someone who looks very much like Nyssa turning over in bed, then an indigenous South American with a lip plate reading a book, the TARDIS lands on the platform of a railway station in the English countryside on June 11, 1925, where the Doctor is, apparently, urgently expected by Lord Cranleigh (Michael Cochrane). Before the Doctor and companions can catch their breath—to say nothing of the audience—they are whisked away to Cranleigh Manor in a stately green Rolls Royce.
The initial establishment of the Fifth Doctor as a cricketer in "Castrovalva" pays off here, as Cranleigh needs the Doctor to both bat and bowl in the charity game held in conjunction with the annual fancy dress ball given for a local hospital. And bat and bowl he can, hitting frequently for six and taking several wickets to win the game. Director Ron Jones fully utilizes the location shooting to display Peter Davison's own cricket skills in a loving montage that stretches nearly five minutes, a fair allocation given that the full runtime of the story is under an hour.
But it is this attention to detail, to a deliberate development of the setting and character, that sets "Black Orchid" apart from the usual Doctor Who story. We see the Doctor reveling in a passion that has, ultimately, nothing to do with the outcome of the story, and yet it is not just a throw-away segment. Dudley draws upon the series' larger scope, its vast store of lore, by having the local constable, Sir Robert Muir (Moray Watson) give both the Doctor and the audience a momentary pause:
Sir Robert: "A superb innings, worthy of the master."
Fifth Doctor: "The Master?"
Sir Robert: "Well, the other doctor."
The reference, ultimately, is to renowned cricketer W.G. Grace, known occasionally as "the Doctor" himself, but the brief possibility that the Master, or more intriguingly another Time Lord, is somehow involved creates a resonance that never quite goes away. Was this a knowing aside, a hint at the true culprit behind the opening murder? Has the Master summoned the Doctor to break his duck?…

George Oliver Nugent was born on 21 July 1877 at Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire – at Old Haugh End, the home of his Uncle Nicholas, Sir Oliver's elder son. George was the first child and only son of Oliver Nugent, MBE of Antigua, and Mary Nugent: two sisters, Catherine Mary Monica and Elizabeth Frances Gertrude, followed.
After schooling at the King's School, Warwick, George Nugent entered the service of the Leeward Islands government in 1893, holding at times the posts of Clerk to the Executive and Legislative Councils and Private Secretary and Aide-de-Camp to the Leeward Islands Governor (likely to have been Sir Francis Fleming, Sir Henry Moore Jackson or Sir Gerald Strickland). In 1906 he was transferred to another Colonial Service position in Nigeria, based at first in Zungeru, Northern Nigeria and later at Lagos, the capital. He served in Nigeria until 1925, retiring on the rank of First Assistant Secretary having spent 32 years in government service, 13 in Antigua and 19 in Nigeria.
Islands, whilst the post-holder was on leave for short period in 1925, but resigned from that position on 31st July because of ill health. During his earlier service in Antigua, he served in the Antigua Defence Force and attained the rank of Captain in the 3rd Scottish Rifles.
On Sept 27th 1910, he married Gladys Julia Foster, daughter of Major Kingsley Osbern Foster and Constance Jemima Foster (née Birch) of Shenley, Redhill, Surrey, at St Johns. Church, Redhill, the second member of his family to marry into the Foster family following the marriage of his sister, Catherine Mary Monica, to Osbern Foster at St Johns' Cathedral, Antigua, in January 1906.
After their marriage, George and Gladys Nugent lived briefly in the precincts at Canterbury Cathedral, while George attended to the affairs of his deceased great uncle, Robert Godolphin Peter. On New Year's Eve 1910/11 they moved into The Cottage, Peasemore, Berkshire where five of their six children were born. They were, in order of arrival, Monica, Peggy (Margaret), Oliver, Joyce, Osbern and Nick. Only the youngest, Nick, was born in Antigua, to where the family moved in 1925.
George returned home on leave almost every year. On at least two occasions Gladys accompanied him to Nigeria – to Zungeru in January 1914 and in September 1920 toLagos. The war had prevented Gladys from visiting Nigeria for some years.
On his retirement George Nugent lived at Scots Hill, east of St Johns. He was buried at St George's Church alongside his grandparents.
by advocating flogging for anyone caught stealing crops (see panel).
George Nugent died in Antigua in 1939, aged 62. He was buried alongside his grandparents, Sir Oliver and Lady Nugent, at St George's churchyard overlooking Fitches Creek.

Quick and easy step by step approach to creating and dropping tables in SQL Alchemy 1.1 and 1.2. All done with a few lines of code.
First, I want to begin looking at my existing database structure. I opened up pgAdminIII. In Postgres, I have 2 databases, postgres and production. I am interested in connecting and working in the production database. In the production database, I have 2 schemas, public and python. I will be working in the python schema in this example. If you have any questions up to this point, please comment.
As you an see, the table users has been created with the exact same structure you defined in your code.
Go back to your pgAdmin, refresh your schema, and confirm that it is gone!
Below is the entire code output in the iPython terminal.
3.) virtualenv new_project #create a project directory and execute this command where new_project = your project name for e.g.
From here, you can return to step 4 when you want to work on your project again. Or go to step 3 if you want to start a new project.
After that, I am able to import psycopg2 on Jupyter running in my virtualenv with no problem!

A brief description of the methodology used to calculate the campus water balance:
UWM used the guidance as set forth in the Alliance for Water Stewardship's International Water Stewardship Standard Version 2.0. Water balance was calculated for both the Main Kenwood campus site, the School of Freshwater Sciences site, as well as the catchment.
The following equation can be used to describe each site's water balance:
P + Wi + Hi = R + E + Web + Wes + He + ΔSg + ΔSc
P is precipitation
Wi is potable water supplied by Milwaukee Water Works
Hi is heat plant intake water
R is streamflow
E is evapotranspiration
Web is sewage discharged from buildings into municipal combined sewers
Wes is stormwater runoff discharged from impervious surfaces like rooftops, parking lots, and sidewalks into municipal combined sewers
He is heat plant effluent discharged to Lake Michigan
ΔSg is the change in storage in groundwater
ΔSc is the change in storage in cisterns
A brief description of how the institution's water use compares to the natural water balance of the campus:
Potable Water supplied by Milwaukee Water Works: Treated potable water is supplied to the University through MWW's distribution system. This system is highly reliable. Despite occasional water main brakes, which are generally repaired by municipal and/or university staff within a matter of hours, service disruptions do not present a threat to water balance at UWM.
The volume of water used is driven by multiple factors, including the activities of students, staff, and faculty, the efficiency and usage levels of HVAC equipment, and, particularly at SFS, water-intensive research activities. Each of these factors are complex but are ultimately within the control of the University. Since 2005, SFS has used an average of 265,175 CCF per year, and main campus has used an average of 113,554 CCF per year. Annual variations in water usage rates are discussed further in the next section.
Because UWM uses a large volume of water, it is possible that Milwaukee Water Works could impose a maximum usage cap during times of peak demand. There are no such rules in place now, though we note it here because it could become a consideration in the future.
Heat plant intake and effluent: UWM uses a pumping station to withdraw water from Lake Michigan which is used for heating and cooling at the heat plant on Main Campus. It is a non-contact closed system, so effluent should theoretically match plant intake, as expressed by the following equation:
Hi = He
Streamflow: No streams flow through either site, despite the proximity to the Inner Harbor and Milwaukee River. Any precipitation that falls on the sites flows into storm sewers, infiltrates to groundwater, or is returned to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration.
Evapotranspiration: This factor is difficult to measure and is not considered an important factor in this report. Despite large volumes of water evapotranspiring from the campus, particularly from natural areas like Downer Woods, it does not contribute directly to the water-related challenges identified here and is therefore omitted from our consideration.
Sewage discharge: Virtually all the water that is discharged into municipal sewers originates from the municipal supply. At the time of this writing, no rainwater recycling for indoor use is practiced on a significant scale at either site. Therefore, the municipal water balance can be expressed by the following equation:
Wi = Web + C + D
C is consumptive use, or water that is supplied to buildings but is not returned to the sewer system.
D is water directly discharged into waterways.
Main campus has no direct discharges, so any difference between water supplied and water discharges is assumed to be consumptive use. Since 2011, when tracking of these data began, the main campus has averaged 3.4% consumptive use.
SFS directly discharges a large portion of its water to the Milwaukee Harbor. While it is assumed that some small percentage of water is lost to consumptive use, this cannot be differentiated from discharges to the harbor, so any difference between water supplied and sewer volume is assumed to have been discharged into the harbor. Between January 2012 and March 2015, SFS discharged an average of 24,200 CCF into the harbor monthly. 91.4% of water supplied was discharged into the harbor. Between April 2015 and October 2018, SFS discharged an average of 21,300 CCF into the harbor monthly, but 99.9% of water supplied was discharged into the harbor. This abrupt change to less water use but more of it being discharged to the harbor can be explained by the cessation of research activities that discharged water into the sewer system.
Because SFS discharges such a large volume and large percentage of its water to the harbor, more study into this area is necessary.
Stormwater runoff: In 2013, UWM researchers published "UWM as Zero-Discharge: Pondering Net-Positive Stormwater Infrastructure," which estimated that during a 100-year storm event, main campus has a stormwater runoff rate of 120 cubic feet per second. It also estimated that before any European settlement occurred, the same magnitude of storm would have produced 30 cubic feet per second of runoff. UWM can attempt to return to this pre-settlement hydrology by decreasing impervious surfaces, increasing stormwater storage capacity, and increasing the amount of deep-rooted native vegetation on campus.
Change in storage in cisterns: As noted in 1.3.2, the cisterns on main campus have a storage capacity of 55,710 gallons, or 74.47 CCF. They increase the volume of water stored on campus and reduce peak flows, but since no active controls or monitoring exist, their impact is modeled rather than measured, and is discussed. Optimizing the performance of green infrastructure in general is a growing field of research and could be undertaken by engineering or freshwater sciences students at UWM.
Change in storage in groundwater: This factor has not been measured and is difficult to estimate. Multiple studies have shown that the effects of urbanization such as the increase of impervious surfaces, the replacement of deep-rooted native vegetation with turf grass, and soil compaction reduce groundwater recharge. These factors can cause increased runoff during major rain and snowmelt events, leading to flooding and increased erosion in streams and rivers. Conversely, river levels tend to drop during dry periods due to a decrease in groundwater recharge. The University has undertaken multiple efforts to increase pervious surfaces and plant more native plants and trees. The effects of these efforts are difficult to quantify and could be the subject of further study.
Data was compiled from the Water Stewardship Plan that students completed in the Spring of 2019.

Believe it or not, the double bass drum can be used in any style of drumming to spice up your beats and grooves. Most drummers view the double bass drum as a heavy addition to any drum pattern. This is the case because most drummers incorporate the double bass into heavy metal, and speed drumming styles of music. Because of this, the double bass drum has been labeled as a heavier style of drumming. This is definitely not the case. Being able to incorporate the double bass drum into all styles of music is what separates the pro's from the novice. The truth is the double bass drum is very versatile, and can be added to spice up any beat, fill or solo. Let me explain.
Learning how to play the double bass drum may be a little tricky at first. This is because you are training a huge muscle to play at speeds that are supposed to match your hands. When you practice the double bass, you usually play single or double stroke rolls on the foot pedals, giving a heavy feel to the groove. What you need to realize is that these are just practice patterns designed to develop foot control and independence. There is much more you can play on the double bass drum then just solid rolls.
One of the most popular techniques on the double bass drum is the Swiss Army Triplet. This is also a drum rudiment that is played on the double bass drum that gives a quick triplet pattern that spices up any fill or beat. Playing this quick pattern on the bass drum is a great way to add accents of shots to a regular drum beat. This does not need to be played in a rock drumming groove either. The Swiss triplet can be played in jazz, or any other style of music. This is just one of the ways to spice up your every day drumming.
When you start playing the double bass drum you start developing a totally new mind set for your footwork. When you can maneuver your feet the same way as your hands, you can add much more to your drum fills. Think of it like playing a pattern on your snare with your feet. When you can do this, the benefits you can add to your drum fills are amazing. Adding foot to hand patterns will spice up any drum beat or fill. The best part about this is you do not need to play too much double bass to make a fill effective. Because of this, you can add this feel into all sorts of music styles.
Aside from the bass drumming patterns you can incorporate into your playing, you can also use the foot independence you developed on your hi hats as well. This is a must if you are into jazz or Latin drumming. The skills you develop from playing the double bass drum is easily transferable to your hi hat pedal. Independence is key when you are a drummer, so any way to increase this is a benefit to your overall drumming!
As you can see, there is a big benefit to playing the double bass drum. Even if you are not a metal or heavy rock drummer, you can get a lot from using your feet. Playing the double bass can be intimidating at first, so make sure you take things slow. You may want to check out the video lesson on developing your double bass drum. From there you can work on your double bass drum warm-ups and double bass drum beats.

Hi Rob, I'm inclined to think that this is an erratic mudstone but not sue.
Have you got any idea what is poking out of it?
I suggest as there are only fragments on the surface you may want to take it apart and see if anything whole is underneath, matrix does not look too hard.
My curiosity would certainly get the better of me.
Could even be a fossilised foetus of something in it's half shell.
I would have to disagree, 1, this is marine. 2, nothing like a egg shell let alone a baby anything. The things are extremely rare and are not found at the bottom of an ancient sea.
I would be interested in hearing what made you think that.
I thought the annotation on the image attached would have answered your ; why it would have made me think that.
And also when I looked it only had one image attached. The first one.
You cannot just rely on photos, you have to know location it was found, which would point to the type and age of the rock and how it was formed and where it was formed, land or sea etc.
People can then make an educated guess if there is not a lot to go on or make an identification. Not everyone gets it right first time and everyone's ideas are appreciated that is how we all learn from each other.

As you likely are aware, the pressure of college, including major projects, midterms, and final exams can lead to students feeling very stressed. Academic and emotional challenges may become evident through decreased academic performance, expressed dissatisfaction with the University, irritability, mood swings, and changes in how they relate to you as their parents or concerned family members.
It is important for you to periodically check in with your student about how he or she is doing personally and academically. You know your student better than anyone and you may pick up on some cues that your son or daughter is having a difficult time when others may not. While it is typical for many young adults to seek independence from their families and avoid discussing things that are not going well, students do need the emotional support and love that only the people in parental roles in their lives can provide.
Choose a time to talk when things are not rushed, and where your student can talk to you privately.
Don't avoid bringing up the subject of stress and mental health concerns. Acknowledge that you know this can be a stressful time of the semester and ask directly how they are handling the stress and if they are OK. If you have reason to be concerned, express your concern in specific, nonjudgmental ways. Be honest and direct; say what you mean and mean what you say.
If your student shares some difficult information with you, the most helpful response is to really listen to what he or she is saying. It can be quite challenging to listen without interrupting or letting our own internal thoughts interfere but it is important to really attend to what your student is saying. It is helpful to acknowledge that what your student is thinking and feeling about their situation is their experience, even if you have a different perspective.
Offer non-judgmental support. You may have your own internal reactions, which are completely natural for a parent to have (such as not approving a choice your student made or feeling angry that your student is not doing well academically). But expressing those in the moment to your student is more likely to shut down the communication than lead to helpful support and problem solving.
Be knowledgeable of and encourage your student to take advantage of the resources available at RIT to help students succeed, such as the Academic Support Center.
Offer to help your student in whatever ways you can to help them cope.
Communicate hope by reminding your student that there are always options, you believe they can get through this difficult time, and that things tend to look different with time and action.
