roast cauliflower, vine tomato and red pepper linguine.
A healthy take on pure comfort food. There's nothing like a piping hot bowl of pasta with lashings of Parmesan cheese. In this recipe, the roasted cauliflower, tomatoes and peppers bring together varying textures and flavours. What's more, it goes towards your five a day.
Step one. Roast together the cauliflower, tomatoes and red peppers with seasoningon a baking tray for 25-30 minutes.
Step two. Meanwhile, cook your linguine to the packet instructions (usually around 10-12 minutes).
Step three. Drain but keep around 1 tsbp of pasta water in the saucepan. Stir in the vegetables, pesto and tarragon.
Serve up immediately with extra salt and pepper to taste, plus shavings of Parmesan.

Tail Slate: When the slate does not occur at the top of the camera roll you tail slate. Before the camera cuts at the end of a take, tail slate is called out and the slate comes into frame, the slate is held upside down to indicate it is the end of a take and not the beginning.
Take: A take is the moment that is captured between when the director calls action and cut. A director can ask for multiple takes of the same moment until they get what they are looking for. Takes are noted by the script supervisor and turned over to the editor so they have all of the relevant information about each take. If a take is bad it is marked NG (no good).
Talent: Talent refers to the performers in a film or series.
Teaser: A teaser is a short video of clips that teases a film or television show for an audience.
Tech Survey: A tech survey is when all department heads visit each location for a shoot and determine all of the requirements from their department on the day of filming.
Teleprompter: A monitor that feeds the dialogue to the host. Commonly used in live television events or newscasts, the intended lines for the host or anchor appear on the telepromptor and scroll up as they speak.
Third Assistant Director (3rd AD): The 3rd AD is an assistant to the 1st and 2nd. Their main job is to deal with talent. They are responsible for any talent related paperwork, getting talent into hair, makeup and wardrobe as well as escorting them to set when they are called for.
Tight: Refers to a shot, a tight shot is very close on something.
Tilt: Refers to moving the camera up or down.
Time Code: The time reference used for syncing and editing footage.
Time Lapse: Filming at a slower frame rate over a longer period of time to show a change, such as time passing.
Tracking Shot: A moving shot, the camera is mounted on a dolly and pushed along track to achieve a smooth tracking movement with the camera.
Trailer: A trailer can refer to the place that talent goes to rest, prepare for scenes, get in hair and makeup etc. or it can be the promotional video made up of clips from the project to entice the audience.
Trainee Assistant Director (TAD): The TAD's job is to assist all assistant directors. They help with paperwork, cueing extras, distributing call sheets, making sure talent has everything they need, etc.
Transport Captain: This person supervises all transportation needs on a set.
Transport Coordinator: The transport coordinator is responsible for all the vehicles and drivers on a set, they determine when and where they need to be and make sure they get there.
Treatment: A treatment usually refers to a document that outlines the project, it is not a script. It is made up a character descriptions, scene outlines and sometimes samples of dialogue.
Tungsten: Light filament that is orange is color.
Turnaround: This is the time between the end of a work day and the start of the next. Unions stipulate the amount of time that should pass between the two, usually 8-10 hours. Non-union productions should still try to adhere to this rule to keep their crew rested and at their best.
Turn Over: Means the same as rolling. To turn over means to start rolling sound and camera.
Turtle Base: The three legged base of a C-stand.
Two Shot: A shot that has two actors in the frame.

Longhorn Steakhouse: You Can't Fake Steak
LongHorn Steakhouse is an American restaurant chain,
owned and operated by Darden Restaurants, Inc.
In 1981 George McKerrow, Jr. founded
the Longhorn Steakhouse in Atlanta, Georgia.
Longhorn Steakhouse has 535 restaurant locations across the United States.
The first location, originally called LongHorn Steaks Restaurant & Saloon, opened on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. The location had formerly been an antique store and then an adult entertainment business. George filled it with steer heads and every other western artifact he could find.
The LongHorn featured
steaks grilled in a butter sauce
and french fries.
George's Longhorn Restaurant was located across the street from a very popular restaurant called Harrison's which had a limited bar menu. So, after a night of drinking, regulars at Harrisons headed over to the Longhorn for a big juicy steak.
George was a former manager at Quinn's Mill Restaurant, a subsidiary of Victoria Station. The restaurant used railroad cars as dining areas, a San Francisco concept that was popular in the 1970's and 1980's.
As of 2016, LongHorn Steakhouse
generated $1.6 billion in sales
from the 481 locations it had at that time.
It was a tough start for George. At the end of the first month, he was serving just a handful of meals a day and he was doing the cooking, waiting tables and washing dishes. But, in January 1982 his luck changed when a sudden snow storm that became known as SnowJam 82, trapped commuters within the city limits of Atlanta. George was quick to help the stranded motorists by offering $1 drinks and menu specials. Ron Hudspeth, a local journalist, featured the story in his column and, consequently, helped turn around the struggling restaurant.
By 1990, the franchise expanded further south and now has locations throughout the Eastern United States, as well as the Midwest, Southwest and Puerto Rico.
LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants are decorated with full Western pizzazz, featuring oil paintings, photos, and Western collectibles.
In August 2007, LongHorn Steakhouse, formerly owned and operated by RARE Hospitality International Inc., was purchased by Darden Restaurants, Inc.
The LongHorn Restaurant offers an authentic Western/Texas menu that features a variety of steak cuts, including one called Flo's Filet. Diners can also choose from a selection of ribs, chicken, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and salads. Add to that, a full bar with draft and bottled beer, wine, and several signature margaritas.
Every LongHorn restaurant has two or three employees who have trained to be "Grill Masters." The best of the best grill chefs can compete in a company-wide "Steak Master" competition. Over the course of the year, multiple "grill-offs" narrow 5000 Grill Masters down to seven for the final showdown. In 2018 Michelle Cerveney of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, became the reigning champion.
With the success of LongHorn under his belt, McKerrow opened Capital Grille and, in 2002, he and Ted Turner launched Ted's Montana Grill, which he is still the president and CEO of today.

Q: DbUpdateConcurrencyException on Add I am having an issue adding a new entity via the DbContext.Add(...) method.  On DbContext.SaveChanges(), I get a DbUpdateConcurrencyException.  I'm trying to do an insert into the database.  I'm the only developer on the application, running localhost, and database table is pristine.  There are no users.  It's just me.
This didn't help, although it's similar:
Entity Framework 6 DbUpdateConcurrencyException When Adding New Rows To Database
I'm using one DbContext per request. Like this:
One DbContext per request in ASP.NET MVC (without IOC container)
I'm logging out the sql statement generated by the entity framework like this:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/20751723/2088914
Here's the model (code first, with migrations).  When I post, I only provide the associate, role, assignor, and deleted flag.  The row id is automatically set to 0 since I don't provide it from the client, and date is a default value as well, which I then populate at the server - all expected stuff:
public class Permission {

    [Column("row_id")]
    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public int RowId { get; set; }

    [Key]
    [StringLength(10)]
    [Column("associate_nt_id", Order = 0)]
    [Required]
    public string AssociateNtId { get; set; }

    [Key]
    [Column("role_name", Order = 1)]
    [StringLength(50)]
    [Required]
    public string RoleName { get; set; }

    [Key]
    [Column("eff_ts", Order = 2)]
    [Required]
    public DateTime EffectiveTimestamp { get; set; }

    [StringLength(10)]
    [Column("assignor_nt_id")]
    [Required]
    public string RoleAssignorNtId { get; set; }

    [Column("deleted")]
    [Required]
    public bool Deleted { get; set; }

}

I have a web api controller with a post method, which is successfully accessed by an angular spa, and model gets populated:
[HttpPost]
[Route("")]
[Require(Roles.admin)]
public Permission Post(Permission permission) {
    permission.EffectiveTimestamp = DateTime.Now;
    MAPDB.Current.Permissions.Add(permission);
    MAPDB.Current.Database.Log = s => {
        Debug.WriteLine(s);
    };
    MAPDB.Current.SaveChanges();
    return permission;
}

I run in debug in visual studio 2015.  Here's the error message:

Here's the sql that the entity framework is generating:
INSERT [dbo].[_permissions]([associate_nt_id], [role_name], [eff_ts], [assignor_nt_id], [deleted])

It seems to have executed in logger, and the statement is exactly what I would expect, except no database insert occurs.  If I take the statement out of the logger, fill in the parameters, and execute it via a sql client, it works and returns the row id of what was created.  I don't understand what the problem is - there's no concurrency situation happening, no column missing/added when it shouldn't be, no invalid parameters, no problems mapping the columns to object properties, no key violations, no issues with identity column.
How can I get the entity framework to just insert this new object (without swallowing the exception)?
Thank you for your help.

A: Most likely the issue is caused by the DateTime part of the PK (EffectiveTimestamp). The record is inserted, but then the SELECT is not finding it, since by default the EF maps DateTime properties to datetime columns, while as you can see from the log, the parameter type is datetime2, which has higher precision, so it's get truncated when stored to the table column, hence is not matched by the [eff_ts] = @2 part of the select filter.
To see if that's the case, you can try trimming the time value:
// ...
var time = DateTime.Now;
permission.EffectiveTimestamp = new DateTime(time.Year, time.Month, time.Day, time.Hour, time.Minute, time.Second);
// ...

If that works (as I expect), you might consider changing the database column type:
[Key]
[Column("eff_ts", Order = 2, TypeName="datetime2")]
[Required]
public DateTime EffectiveTimestamp { get; set; }

A: I had this issue as well.
Apparently Daylight Savings Time screwed up all the records that EF was caching in memory.  I figured this out by turning on Information logging for Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command, and where it should have been an INSERT statement, it was a big crazy MERGE statement...
Resetting the service fixed it.
Thanks, Daylight Savings Time...

In this course, our overarching goal will be to develop an understanding of what animals "mean" in our culture and of the many ways we use animals-as companions, as metaphors and images to represent fears, pleasures, and assumptions, as food, as objects for pleasure and sadly for abuse, as commodities, as projections of qualities we wish to possess. We will also be participating in a new educational approach called Service-Learning so that in addition to using literary and theoretical printed and visual work as our course texts, we will also be using your own experiences and reflections. During your service at the Iowa City/Coralville Animal Center, the stories and insights that you collect there will essentially form an additional course text. In effect, we'll be "capturing animals" throughout the semester: in fiction, in the Animal Center, in advertisements, in theoretical accounts of human-animal relations, in community policies governing animals, in university policies on animal research, in popular culture, and in politics. Throughout the semester, we'll return to a number of research questions which will knit together class readings, your service at the Animal Center, and, I hope, ultimately the reflections, discussions, written work, and research that will bind us together as a class.
Texts include Man Meets Dog by Konrad Lorenz, and Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz, and students will complete a final project during which they will pursue a question of interest about dogs-anything from how dogs interact with each other and with humans at the dog park, to how dogs are represented in adolescent literature, or the position of dogs in specific communities.
This elective comprises readings and discussions of animal welfare theory, and how these concepts may be applied to issues of veterinary medicine and animal care. Students participate in weekly seminars, involving discussions and background readings. Students develop skills in analysing and communicating concepts of animal welfare.

Q: What's the meaning of 'sorry lot' in Albert Einstein's quote? I just came across this quote by Albert Einstein when I was leafing through the book 'Super Cooperators: Altruism, Evolution, and Why We Need Each Other To Succeed':

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for
  reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed

What does 'sorry lot' mean here?
I'm thinking sorry might mean pathetic/sad/loser and lot means group. Am I right?

A: Wow, I had no idea that the phrase goes back that far but I hear this today in casual Australian speech.
Here, it can indeed mean a sad bunch of people but you could use it to refer to other types of groups as well.
For example, a conservative person might say that unemployed people on the pension are 'a sorry lot'. (Of course, I'm not suggesting for a moment that this is the case!)
Alternatively, you might hear a teacher saying to rebellious students, 'You're a sorry lot, you kids!'
Perhaps, at work, I might refer to a group of arrogant customers as 'a sorry lot'.
I'm not going on any dictionary-esque definition but this is based on how the word is used in everyday Australia. I suppose that you could sum it up in saying that somebody will say it about a group that they consider to be misfortunate or inferior (among other things).
I think that the previous answer is certainly correct but I suggest that the definition is wider in scope. 'Sorry' and 'lot' don't need to be translated individually and literally as it is the two words together that create the meaning of the phrase. I have no evidence to support this, as yet, but I see the phrase as an idiom.

A: A sorry lot (sorry definition 2, lot definition 4) is simply a regrettable or deplorable lot; so a regrettable group. It is the same as saying a sorry bunch. It could potentially be interpreted as pathetic, but not usually. So you are correct; it means a sad group.
Note that sad does not mean that the members of the group are sad (emotionally), it means that the group as a whole is sad. Definitions 3 and 5 both apply.

A: Basically ditto Rachel but let me say it a little differently.
"Sorry" can mean bad or undesirable in general. Like if you say, "The washing machine is in a sorry condition", you mean that it is worn out or not working well.
"Lot" as a noun means a group of things considered as a unit. Like, "We ordered three lots of pencils." The retailer sells pencils in "lots", and we bought three of them.
So "a sorry lot" is a group of something that is not in good condition. It can be applied to objects, but I think is most often used to describe a group of people. When used about people, it can refer to conditions that are their own fault, or not. Like, "The refugees were sick and exhausted from their long journey. They were a sorry lot." But also, "Before I moved to this town I didn't realize that the people were all rude, selfish, and stupid. They are a sorry lot."

A: Einstein is reflecting on the condition of humanity in general.  I have often heard the term 'sorry' used to describe something that is lacking in quality.

A: Einstein is referring to the human race in general terms.  I respect his deep insight and I am not arrogant enough to exclude myself from this quote.  After thinking quite a bit on this quote, I think it's an introspect of humanity's need for religion just to be "good".

How to recognize a worthy professional sign provider?
The year is still new, and people are filled with the fresh start feeling and resolutions. There is no better moment to take advantage of that positive drive and launch your new business, product, service or project. In order to use this leverage effectively, you need the correct tools and elements to display your brand and corporate image, and with so many signage businesses and agencies out there, it is quite easy to make a mistake and select the wrong one.
You may have the best idea, the greatest product ever and even the best time to launch it, but none of these will work well if you don't make the correct approach and use of the correct tools to develop your signage or branding elements. Therefore, it is vital to know what to look for when searching for the ideal signage company.
Learn how to recognize a good signage service provider.
First of all, a professional signage expert won't throw your budgets and ideas without real internal research. At Summit Custom Signs, we consult every customer, asking the important questions to help decide on the appropriate sign. Details regarding budget, atmosphere, and surroundings, height, light, and regulations all play a role. We will look up even the smallest detail to make sure your project will be a success.
Even when you have hired the same signage provider before, it is important that the professional sign company you are using insists in giving you proof of the project, before the production begins. At Summit Customs we consider the proof as the final test before we produce your sign. It allows you to review the layout and design of your sign digitally or in print, and request necessary changes before we physically create your job.
Even when you are the one submitting the files and bringing all the creative work to the graphic design departments, a responsible and professional signage company will insist in reviewing a proof before continuing with the production, in order to ensure the staff has handled every detail exactly how our customers want it.
It seems unnecessary, right? But a proof is still useful, even when you submit files on a disk. Programs, files, and output devices have flaws and create errors, just like humans. Reviewing a final proof ensures your job traveled across formats accurately. For any further questions regarding design proof or any other signage issue, contact Summit Custom Signs.


With the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ now less than a year away, the FIFA Confederations Cup has been serving as the best possible dress rehearsal – and not just for the teams and organisers.
Much like FIFA, the Local Organising Committee, volunteers and everyone else associated with the event, Host Broadcast Services (HBS) has been testing out its technology to ensure that Germany 2006 is the greatest spectacle the world has ever seen. High Definition TV, Dolby Surround Sound and individual cameras following the star performers are just some of the innovations in store for households around the world.
Every four years, FIFA World Cup fever grips the planet and the already staggering television audience figures seen in the past are set to be smashed in 12 months' time. In fact, an accumulated audience of no less than 32 billion spectators is expected to tune in to the 64 matches that will make up Germany 2006.
With such a worldwide demand, preparation is clearly everything. And that task falls to HBS, a company created in 1999 after the 1998 finals in France, and now the exclusive producer and distributor of images for all FIFA competitions. Frenchman Francis Tellier is the head of HBS and he is keeping relaxed about the immense task on the horizon.
"For the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany, we're going to have a Dream Team," he says. Indeed, the best directors from Germany, England and France have been recruited, and they themselves will pick the best technicians to make up their teams.
"We're going to provide a top-quality programme," promises Englishman Peter Angell, director of production at HBS. Like Tellier, Angell can call on his impressive past experience in the field, with the 2002 finals in Korea/Japan and 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup USA having proved unqualified successes.
"Continuity and innovation" are the bywords for Tellier, and three innovations in particular will see the light of day during Germany 2006. High Definition TV is the first of them, with the 16:9 Widescreen format originally conceived for watching films due to make the transition to the world of football.
After an initial decision was made as the curtain fell on Korea/Japan in 2002, 18 months of development led to HBS giving the project the go-ahead in December 2003. "It was at Frankfurt during the draw for the Germany 2006 qualifiers that we knew for sure that High Definition would be possible," explained Angell. The tournament will, of course, be transmitted in the standard 4:3 format as well, for viewers not equipped with widescreen televisions.
And to give the viewing public the sensation of being right there in the stadium itself, HBS has opted to use Dolby Surround Sound. Every cheer from the crowd will be captured by 30 microphones installed in all 12 of the FIFA World Cup venues, before being mixed by sound engineers and pumped through speakers in homes across the planet, with viewers owning 'Home Cinema' systems set to hear the benefits especially. The first tests have been conducted during the FIFA Confederations Cup and have proved absolutely conclusive – the results are astounding.
This month's tournament has also allowed HBS to perfect a few techniques that were first introduced in 2002. In addition to polishing its international signal, the World Feed, HBS will be offering a number of packages made possible by placing 25 cameras around the ground (as opposed to 20 in 2002), from the touchline to the very tops of the stands.
Homing in on the tactical angle, and offering the action in and around the two team benches, they will keep viewers up to date with every aspect of the game as it evolves. And after two visits to the 12 FIFA World Cup venues as well as their experiences during Germany 2005, HBS have already decided exactly where they will place their cameras next year.
While the idea of different camera angles was experimented with in 2002, one brand new offering will be the 'Player Cam'. Three or four players from each side will be filmed for periods of around ten minutes, with the players in question agreed upon beforehand in consultation with the respective broadcasters of the two countries involved.
Reflecting the global philosophy behind the event, no one will be left out. Any broadcasters unable to send their own production teams to Germany will be able, as in 2002, to subscribe to a turn-key programming solution, the EBIF Show. The programme will start 30 minutes before each game and finish 30 minutes after the final whistle, featuring the warm-ups, the match itself and player interviews. Extremely flexible, it is a service that can be adapted to meet the needs of each individual broadcaster.
The last innovation HBS is promising is a totally unprecedented video database. Each match will be indexed in its entirety, and as it happens, by an armada of experienced technicians at the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) in Munich. They will break down the play so that images of any individual action can be used a minute later by the broadcasters who have signed up to the service. And there ought to be no shortage of takers too, after the service won over everyone who tried it at the FIFA Confederations Cup. All that remains now is to repeat that success over the 64 games of the next FIFA World Cup.
Naturally, all these technologies bring with them huge logistical demands. Once again, however, that does not seem to worry anyone at HBS. "That's the great advantage of the FIFA Confederations Cup," enthuses Angell. "Without this competition, we would have had to take great risks at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany. Our plans look good, though. I don't think we'll have to make too many changes to them."
With HBS ready, football lovers the world over can sit back and start looking forward to the greatest televised sporting event of the 21st century.

1st Test, Mumbai, Feb 24 - 26 2000, South Africa tour of India
South Africa won by 4 wickets
Sachin Tendulkar, INDIA
97 & 3/10
India lose first round of the battle
The last day's play in the first Test in Mumbai raised an intriguing question
Anand Vasu26-Feb-2000
The last day's play in the first Test in Mumbai raised an intriguing question. Did South Africa win this game or did India lose it? If one looked carefully at the way the game progressed, the opinion would have to be that India lost the match.
The first battle was lost while selecting the team. The inclusion of Ajay Jadeja at No 6 meant straightaway that India were playing with one player short. Jadeja's record in Test cricket is unimpressive. Moreover, in the Board President's XI game against South Africa, he made scores of 2 and 3. Hardly the kind of scores that warrants Test selection. The non-inclusion of Nikhil Chopra might also have had a bearing on the game as India were clearly one spinner short in the final innings.
India began well, winning the toss. And with that India's good run ended. Batting first, India made just 225 on a track that looked good for batting. The South African pacemen were too hot for everyone in the team save Tendulkar. The captain made a brave 97 but was not backed up by any of his teammates. In response, India did well to restrict the South Africans to 176. Apart from the openers, none of the visitors made runs.
A lead of 49 was quite handy, and far more than the Indians would have hoped for after South Africa were 90 for no loss. What they needed was a solid second innings performance. If they had put between 150 and 170 on the board they could have given South Africa a run for their money. Instead, they collapsed inexplicably. Doing far worse than their first innings, India folded up for just 113 runs. In an all too familiar script, the openers failed, the middle order collapsed and the tail refused to wag. A couple of twitches of the tail came late in the innings when Mongia, batting at No 11, made 19 off just 10 balls. In the middle of all this, the man we knew as Rahul `The Wall' Dravid stuttered and stumbled, making a painful 37 in over three hours. He was totally unable to either score freely or make runs with the tail and one wondered what happened to the young man who made centuries in tough conditions in both New Zealand and South Africa.
There are certainly some tough mental battles raging in Dravid's head and the sooner he sorts them out the better for Indian cricket. The crowds were on the verge of chanting Rahul `The crawl' Dravid and that surely would have been a severe slap in the face.
India simply did not have it in them to defend 163. Not on a third day Wankhede wicket. Though the South Africans struggled to negotiate the spinners, they made it home with four wickets to spare. Gibbs and Boucher made useful contributions and an elated Allen Donald ran into the field as Boucher smashed the winning runs through midwicket.
Though Tendulkar was named man of the match, this was little consolation for the Indian skipper. India have begun badly in the series. To reverse the momentum will be a tough task. The South Africans are not the kind of team that will fritter away their chances.

Hate to say it, but this latest "Speechless" video, starring Woody Allen, is pretty funny without any written words to support it..
The Writers Guild of America is using the videos, now 20 in number, to help rally support to its ongoing strike. In this case, though, just watching Woody proves to be entertaining in its own right.


How did i fare in the first Pro level tournament?
A win! 13-7 was the final score and i was stoked! All the WS´s had Cannons, so loads of S6 shots with re-roll of one´s and Doom & Jinx all over. I could have scored a bit higher win margin, but made one mistake in one round causing me to lose at least 3 points . Still, first touch to the "big boys" league and i was feelin alright!
I was happy with the win and the lessons learned from the 2nd game, but the 3rd game was not for me...maybe go again in the future, but i enjoy more of the "fluff" tournaments.
How were the Mandrakes for you?
Do you think you'll make use of the Webway Gate for your Coven units?
They were alright, in one game rolled few mortal wounds, but mainly just kept them to apply pressure and get far objectives. I haven´t checked out the rules yet, but if there´s a chance to lose units if it´s destroyed (what i overheard, don´t know if accurate) and they are in reserves, then no.
How do you recommend defeating genestealer cult armies. A buddy of mine plays them and I haven't beaten him yet. What would you have done differently?
Yeah, that was a problem in game 2. First turn assault (that is mostly what happens all the time) is annoying. I don´t think, there´s a way to counter that, except screening your n.1 units. Against me, the Patriarch Mass Hypnosis caused the Ravager to shoot my Venom, but i used Lightning Reflexes and it saved that Venom. Units on the table with Fly keyword, may be the only way to be "safe" for the alpha strike. Other, is to get high as possible if there´s tall buildings --> longer charge. Most likely, you´ll be giving the first blood, make sure you choose that unit carefully, that gets sacrificed, this might even open a possibility of baiting him in to a trap . In my game, the alpha strike wrecked almost completely one Ravager and caused 50% of my back line concentrating killing those two units for a round, fe. my two Ravagers were out of action for a turn, meaning, not to get to shoot the proper targets = big monsters.
My brother also plays with 2 blobs of genestealers. What worked best for me is using vexator mask on a haemi and building a screening wall with wracks, talos, archon, succubus and the haemi. The characters can perform heroic intervention and if you are lucky you can kill a lot of his genestealers before they can even fight.

Anthrax cover vintage Cheap Trick track
Anthrax cover the vintage Cheap Trick track "Big Eyes," on their new eight-track EP, "Anthems."
The project pays tribute to the classic songs by some of Anthrax's favorite bands from the 1970s.
"We were toying around with the idea of doing a Cheap Trick song, and 'Big Eyes' was one of our favorites," said drummer Charlie Benante. "We recorded it, but then got busy with other things, so we never finished it. What happened was, Joey was out in LA doing vocals for the EP and Jay Ruston [co-producer] pulled 'Big Eyes' up and had Joey do the vocals, something we didn't know he was going to do. But it turned out so great. Joey's vocals are so amazing, so we knew we wanted the song on the EP."
"Big Eyes" originally appeared on Cheap Trick's second album, 1977's "In Color."
Set for release in North America on March 19th (MRI/Megaforce), and on March 22nd in Europe (Nuclear Blast), "Anthems'" tracklisting also features Rush's "Anthem", Thin Lizzy's 'Jailbreak', Boston's 'Smokin'', Journey's 'Keep On Runnin', as well as the album version and a special remix of Anthrax's "Crawl", from the band's 2011 album, "Worship Music."

Chinese New Year: When is Chinese New Year 2022 and what Chinese zodiac animal am I?
This Fife town is thriving while others struggle – here's why
While Kirkcaldy High Street is struggling – like many others the length and breadth of Scotland – Burntisland residents have been singing the praises of their main shopping area.
By Tanya Scoon
Thursday, 23rd May 2019, 3:53 pm
Burntisland 's High St is thriving
The town's shop units are almost full and many are doing a roaring trade.
And, with the nationwide Totally Locally event coming up in just a few weeks, encouraging people to support their High Streets, the people of Burntisland say they are very lucky to have such a diverse range of shops selling a huge range of goods and services, from butchers and greengrocers to a pet shop and ice cream parlour.
Tom Courts Butchers has just been crowned Scottish Haggis Champion of the year, while Novelli's ice cream shop was highlighted in the Scotsman as one of the best in Scotland.
Pics by Fife Photo Agency
The Happy Go Lucky Dog Co. which opened its doors last year scooped the Best Independent Pet Supply Store in this year's Scottish Independent Retail Awards, and the town also has an award-winning greengrocers in the shape of Macauley's, a florist, fish and chip shop, restaurants and a fishmonger.
Totally Locally Burntisland Fiver Fest, where local traders are encouraged to put on a special offer for a fiver to encourage people to shop local, will run from June 8-15.
And local traders hope that this will give them another boost and attract more new customers to the High Street.
As well as offering quality products for sale, traders say that everyone in the town works together to support each other, and most have a very loyal customer base from local customers.
People are also willing to travel from around Fife to buy the products, which contributed to its continuing growth.
Nova Gamble, who opened Novelli's ice cream shop almost two years ago with her husband Ervin, told the Press: "We both feel the main reason for the high street thriving is that collectively there is a great selection of shops with fresh modern ideas from business people that are all very passionate about what they do and want to succeed and all work very hard dedicating their lives to their businesses.
"We both feel that a lot of the great shops we have are run by people that want to offer something different with quality products and services from well presented modernised shops that a lot have invested in to make the high street more appealing.
"We were delighted to be named in the top 16 ice cream shops in Scotland and its an honour for all our hardworking staff."
Tom Courts, fresh from winning the Scottish haggis champion award, said: "Being an independent trader on any high street has it's challenges. That said, in the past 16 years I have taken over businesses in three different towns, Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Burntisland and enjoyed great success in all.
"My formula is simple, I work hard, invest heavily in my business and provide a good product and service. I also surround myself with staff who have the same motivation as me and reward them well.
"In the past three years in Burntisland we have achieved a large year on year rise in turnover. Again, I put this down to my aforementioned formula and our successes in national competitions.
"We are also very lucky to have so many other independent and diverse businesses in Burntisland who share similar ambitions and we are heavily supported by a loyal customer base both locally and from out-with the town."
Victoria Johnson, who owns the Happy Go Lucky Dog Company with her mum Anne, selling equipment to the working, showing and pet dog markets said: "We opened just over a year ago after attending dog shows and events with our trade stands for many years.
"It made sense to open the shop in a busy bustling High Street with lots of other independent traders. We love love the High Street which boasts many unsung gems and award winning shops.
Independent businesses in Burntisland are taking part in the first ever Totally Locally National Fiver Fest from June 8–15 to encourage shoppers back to their local High Streets.
Shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and businesses taking part, will put on special £5 offers for the duration of the campaign.
Lorna Duffin, who is one of the organisers of the Burntisland event, said "We're joining in with the National Fiver Fest to give some great bargains for local shoppers, but also to showcase the town and the great shops and businesses we have here.
"It promotes the message that if every adult in Burntisland spent just £5 a week with their local independent shops and businesses, it would be £1.4 million going directly into our local economy."

Siamak Namazi, imprisoned since 2015 by Iran, has begun a hunger strike
By Michele Kelemen
Published January 15, 2023 at 7:02 PM HST
Namazi Family
Siamak Namazi, shown in this photo before his 2015 imprisonment, has begun a one-week hunger strike in Iran to mark seven years since he was left out of a prisoner swap that occurred when the Iran nuclear deal went into effect.
On the seventh anniversary of his being left behind in a U.S.-Iran prison swap, an American jailed in Iran is beginning a week-long hunger strike on Monday. Siamak Namazi, an Iranian American businessman, is pushing Iran and the U.S. to make a deal to free him.
In a letter to President Biden released by his lawyer, Namazi, 51, says he has the "unenviable title of the longest held Iranian American hostage in history." He says his captors enjoy taunting him about that. He plans to be on a hunger strike for the next seven days.
"Siamak remains behind bars in Iran's notorious Evin Prison, where he has endured prolonged solitary confinement, denial of access to medical care, and physical and psychological torture," according to a press release issued by Namazi's lawyer, Jared Genser.
Namazi was arrested in October 2015 on a business trip to Iran. He and his father Baquer Namazi, a retired UNICEF official who was detained when trying to visit his son in 2016, were both convicted in Iran on charges of cooperating with a hostile government, meaning the United States.
Last year, the increasingly frail elder Namazi was able to leave Iran to get medical treatment.
Siamak Namazi was left out of a prisoner swap that took place when the Iran nuclear deal went into effect in 2016. He was also excluded from subsequent deals.
The U.S. has repeatedly said it is working to free Namazi and other Americans it says are unjustly held by Iran. They include Emad Shargi, who was arrested in Iran in 2018, and Morad Tahbaz, detained there the same year.
In the letter to President Biden conveyed by his lawyer, Namazi says, "All I want sir, is one minute of your days' time for the next seven days devoted to thinking about the tribulations of the U.S. hostages in Iran" — an apparent reference to himself and the other two American prisoners. "Just a single minute of your time for each year of my life that I lost in Evin prison. Therefore, I will deny myself food for the same seven days, in the hope that by doing so you won't deny me this small request."
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in December that he works on the issue every day. "It's a No. 1 priority to bring Americans anywhere who are being unjustly detained, to bring them home, to get them back with their families," he told CBS News.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Round-Up: New Images, How Phasma Survived 'The Force Awakens', and More
Posted on Wednesday, September 6th, 2017 by Ben Pearson
While there aren't quite enough entries to make this one of our regular Star Wars Bits columns, enough scattered pieces of information about this year's Star Wars: The Last Jedi have surfaced recently that they're worth collecting in one place and talking about one by one. Let's dive into some new images featuring Finn and Rose, an X-Wing upgrade for Poe Dameron, learn how Captain Phasma escaped her trash compactor at the end of The Force Awakens, and read excerpts of a new interview with The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson.
Let's start with some photos. Empire Magazine is about to drop an eight page feature on The Last Jedi tomorrow, but as a precursor to the new images that will accompany that piece, they've released a couple of new ones a day early. First up, here's a photo of Finn (John Boyega) and a new character Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran) at the gambling city of Canto Bight. Rian Johnson spoke briefly about crafting that environment for this movie:
"I wanted a new environment that was like dunking your head in a cool bath of water, right in the middle of movie. Apart from the prequels, all the touchstones that make something feel like Star Wars have to do with griminess and dirt. I wanted to do something completely different."
That's quite a staring contest Finn and Rose seem to be having in that image, and while I assumed their relationship would be friendly since they're on a mysterious mission together, it seems as if there may be some tension between them. We know that Rose sees Finn as a hero because of what he did in The Force Awakens, and that Finn is reluctant to get back into the action because of the injury he sustained in his fight with Kylo Ren. So maybe – and this is pure speculation – this conflict between them arises when a wrench is thrown in their mission, Finn wants to bail, and Rose inspires him to do what's right, regardless of how dangerous the situation may be.
Meanwhile, the same site posted this new photo of an X-Wing that belongs to Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), and this baby has received a major upgrade and a cool new nickname: Black One. I'll let Empire describe the big difference between how it appears in The Last Jedi versus how we saw it last:
The X-Wing (an Incom-FreiTek T-70, to be precise) has, according to Rian Johnson, been specially modified by Resistance engineers, with a temporary accelerator pod affixed to the aft section. According to The Last Jedidirector, the pod, when primed, increases Dameron's speed, allowing him to outrun First Order cannon emplacements.
Elsewhere, Johnson spoke with The New York Times about making The Last Jedi. The whole interview is worth reading, but there are a few notable points worth separating. First, Johnson confirms what he's said before: Lucasfilm essentially let him have free reign over the sequel's story. When asked if he was instructed to hit certain plot points, or to make sure the movie ends in a certain way, he replied:
"Nothing like that. But it's the second film in a trilogy. The first film got these characters here. This second movie has to dig into and challenge these characters. I wanted this to be a satisfying experience unto itself. I didn't want it to end with a dot, dot, dot, question mark."
And Johnson also confirmed, again, that the voice we hear in the teaser trailer saying "It's time for the Jedi to end," is in fact Luke Skywalker's:
"That's him. It sounds pretty dire. That's something that we're definitely going to dig into. The heart of the movie is Luke and Rey. It follows all the other characters, but its real essence is the development of the two of them. And it's absolutely tied up in that question of, What is Luke's attitude toward the Jedi?"
And while this may not necessarily be specifically related to The Last Jedi, it definitely concerns one of its characters: we finally know how Captain Phasma escaped the trash compactor at the end of The Force Awakens. Marvel's newest Star Wars comic, Captain Phasma #1, reveals that an explosion ripped a hole in Phasma's filthy temporary prison and she was able to escape through it. You can read a super spoilery breakdown of everything that happens in the comic over at io9, but there's one last detail I thought was cool enough to share: after busting out, Phasma witnesses the lightsaber battle between Kylo Ren and Rey in the snowy woods just before she escapes the exploding Starkiller base. I doubt that she'll actually be able to use that information in any meaningful way in The Last Jedi (since general audiences will have no idea that she witnessed it), but it's the type of connection Lucasfilm's story group has loved to include in its comic book gap fillers ever since they wiped out the Extended Universe.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15, 2017.

Jibita o Mrita (; English: The Living and The Dead) is a Bengali-language short story written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1892. It is a remarkable short story by Tagore.

Plot
Kadambini is a widow with no child. She has a great bond with her brother-in-law's son. One night, suddenly she dies. The four Brahmins take her for ritual cremation. But she regains her life back and walks out. She does not go to her home as she thinks herself a ghost. With the help of a man, she comes to her friend Jogamaya's home. But she leads an uneasy life and so she has to leave the company of Jogamaya. She returns at her own in-laws home. But the family members do not take her as a living being. At last, after committing suicide, she proved that she was alive.

Analysis
The story combines the two unique forms of literature: the supernatural tale and the ironic parable. But it is not a perfect supernatural story. The existence of Kadambini is supernatural. It depicts the idea of being stuck between life and death. In short, it deals with the mystery of death. The punch line of the story is "Kadambini moriya praman korilo, she more nai" (By dying, Kadambini proved that she did not die).

Matt Owens (bass) with several groups including John Ellis (piano) Neil Yates (trumpet) , various chamber music ensembles and vocalists . Recorded at Limefield Studio , Manchester.No recording date given.
There is an undeniably light music quality about the suite of pieces that make up this fascinating, though occasionally superficial recital by Manchester based composer and bass player, Matt Owens. Quite a lot of the music could pass as T.V. theme music in the making but it is accomplished with such consummate musicianship that one is loath to say anything negative about it. If you are a music lover who simply delights in euphonic pleasures then you are sure to find something here that will ignite your aesthetic sensibilities but whilst jazz devices are employed in its construction and execution there is little about this cross genre music that fits comfortably within accepted jazz categorisations.
It is essentially light concert music with jazzy licks in the solo passages and on that level it is very enjoyable completely fulfilling Owens' aim to `create a melodic album where simple melodies inspired by jazz, folk and world music would be enriched by using differing textures and arrangements`. Whilst most of it drifts by in a pleasingly ambient sort of way one track is sufficiently visceral to ruffle the hair on the back of your head and that is a haunting Celtic sounding rendition of `Black is the Colour` sung by Rioghnach Connolly, delivered with such earthiness that it even challenges the Nina Simone version.
So if you are in the market for something a little different it might be worth giving this a whirl.


Arizona softball utility player Hallie Wilson (5) rounds second base after hitting a home run during Arizona's 6-1 victory over Drake on Feb. 12 at Hillenbrand Stadium. Wilson has been an integral part of the UA softball team for the past four seasons.
Hallie Wilson received a text message from former UA teammate Brigette Del Ponte as she rode the team bus to Arizona softball's game at Oregon State last Thursday.
Del Ponte, an All-Pac-12 third baseman who now is a member of the professional softball team USSSA Pride, got to break the big news to the Wildcats' star senior.
Wilson would be selected to the Pride as the 28th overall pick in the 2015 National Pro Fastpitch Draft. Wilson was the lone Arizona player to be drafted.
The NPF is the only professional women's softball league in the U.S. The Pride, located in Kissimmee, Fla., has won the championship the past two years and three times in five years.
For Wilson, a 2014 All-American and one of Arizona's biggest offensive threats, the draft news came as a surprise.
The Santa Ana, Calif., native had already made known her intentions of taking the upcoming season off, as she will be an intern for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim organization starting this summer. So technically, she was drafted for the 2016 season.
"I was really excited because they still wanted me, even though it wouldn't be for this season," Wilson said.
For Arizona coach Mike Candrea, hearing the news came as much less of a shock. Candrea said the Pride had been in touch with the program, and he knew Wilson was on their radar.
The confidence Candrea has instilled in Wilson rubs off on how she plays the game. Wilson has remarkably started nearly every game of her UA career and is constantly among the team leaders in batting average.
This season, her .395 mark is second only to Kellie Fox.
Wilson joined the Arizona program with a list of eye-popping accolades, including a gold medal at the 2010 Pan American Championship.
She immediately made her presence felt, starting all 56 games as a freshman and leading the Wildcats in batting average.
Wilson has become perhaps Arizona's most reliable all-around position player over the course of the past four seasons. And so far, her senior year may be on pace to be her best.
On top of an on-base percentage that hovers around .500, the first baseman is second on the team with a .993 fielding percentage. Almost nothing gets by her, at the plate or on the mound.
Fellow senior Chelsea Goodacre has witnessed the progression first hand.
While the Wildcats have a little over a month left in the regular season before postseason play begins, Wilson's playing days are far from finished.
"I hope to maintain the same level of play here and continue to grow as a ballplayer," Wilson said.
