A former Kean University student responsible for threatening Twitter posts targeting black students at the University last fall has been sentenced to 90 days in Union County Jail, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park announced Friday.
State Superior Court Judge Robert J. Mega additionally ordered 25-year-old Kayla McKelvey of Union Township to serve five years of probation, pay $82,328 in restitution, serve 100 hours in the Union County Sheriff's Office SLAP (Sheriff's Labor Assistance Program) work detail, and undergo anger management and counseling.
In April, McKelvey had pleaded guilty to a single count of third-degree creating a false public alarm.
Barnes read the threatening tweets into the record prior to sentencing and also described the incident's aftermath, which saw up to 75 percent of students fail to attend classes for multiple days and tens of thousands of dollars in police overtime and additional security costs incurred by the University and law enforcement.

Video, photos: The UFC's most memorable broadcast reactions to big finishes in 2021
In recent years, after fans see broadcast replays of sensational finishes in UFC fights, they've been able to look forward to extra replays.
If the fight's ending is particularly stunning, be it because it came at an unexpected moment or because of its ferociousness, the voices in the broadcast booth have a tendency to respond the way most people would – and it typically involves a loud "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!" exclamation, wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
Those same broadcasters have small cameras pointed at them now to capture those behind-the-scenes moments when they happen, and some of the most fun parts of UFC broadcasts often involve a chance to see the reactions of play-by-play voices Jon Anik and Brendan Fitzgerald and analysts like Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier, Paul Felder and Michael Bisping.
With the UFC's 2021 schedule in the books, the promotion gives us a look back at some of the best broadcast reaction moments from the past year. Check out the video above, as well as the photo gallery below.
The Blue Corner is MMA Junkie's blog space. We don't take it overly serious, and neither should you. If you come complaining to us that something you read here is not hard-hitting news, expect to have the previous sentence repeated in ALL CAPS.
Jack Nicklaus continues to campaign for the governing bodies to roll back the ball: 'They say they put a line in the sand but that line in the sand keeps getting wider. They keep crossing it.'
If Jack Nicklaus has said it once, he's said it a thousand times: the golf ball goes too far.

Previous message (by thread): [Goanet] Bar Longuinhos Margao.
"Fifty to sixty years ago this was the place everybody went to after a trip to the Margao market.
Loja Moosa for canned provisions,  Marchon?s right there in the old market for alcohol or perhaps Casa Filu a little distance away and following that Longuinhos for a midday beer and snacks."
Fifty to sixty years ago would be the  time frame when I rode my bicycle for five years  to the old Instituto Abade Faria in Margao for the "Quinto Ano de Liceu" where along with  many other subjects I learned English as my third language.Though a bit young to hang out at Marchon's my mother would occasionally take me there for "cafe e pasteis".
Looking back, those were very good days.


Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is an instructional approach that aims to develop learners' communicative competence and focuses on the use of tasks as the main unit of instruction. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of strong and weak versions of TBLT approach over more traditional approaches in improving reading comprehension of Iranian elementary-level EFL learners. Moreover, the distinction between the strong and weak versions of this approach is taken into account in order to investigate which version is more beneficial over the other version. To achieve the objective, 90 male learners in the 15-17 age range who were studying in an institute in Rasht were selected. The findings showed that utilizing both versions of TBLT approach can provide tremendous opportunities for learners to enhance their reading comprehension compared to traditional language teaching methods. More specifically, the results of this study revealed that the use of the weak version of TBLT approach leads the learners to more proficiency in reading comprehension. It is worth pointing out that this study was conducted with Iranian male elementary-level EFL learners in the 15-17 age range studying in Soroush English Institute in Rasht, Iran. It indicates that a small size of population, a specific age range, and male gender were considered. Thus, for other researchers, more participants at different proficiency levels, with other ranges of age, and both genders may be considered in order to make broader generalization about the results.

This time of year is a favorite of Farm Aid staff members: It's grant reading season!
After the annual Farm Aid festival, we come back to many tall stacks of grant proposals that have been mailed by farm and food organizations from across the U.S. These proposals come from organizations that are long partners of Farm Aid (including some that got their start thanks to Farm Aid funding in 1985!) and from organizations we're just getting to know. Many of those new groups we met because of our annual festival, which gives us the chance to connect with new farmers, organizations and communities each year.
Each grant proposal requests grant funds for the organization's good work. All Farm Aid staff members take part in the process of reading the grant proposals and assessing their merits. Then we join together, present the cases made for each organization, and come to agreement on where and how Farm Aid's grant dollars will be put to best use.
Especially in times like these, these proposals give us hope and faith—and proof—that good things are happening out there, and that power lies in people coming together.
Reading a stack of grant proposals gives a person insight into the incredible work happening in communities all over the United States. Especially in times like these, these proposals give us hope and faith—and proof—that good things are happening out there, and that power lies in people coming together! Each proposal includes a clear illustration of the success the organization can achieve in its work—stories of the farmers they've impacted, testimonials about the power of the people involved in the work, facts and figures that show the changes being made.
Some of the proposals are for national work, focusing on influencing policy decisions that support family farm agriculture. That is desperately needed right now, especially as the Farm Bill has expired, trade wars have worsened farmers' incomes, and as important things like conservation programs, beginning farmer programs and nutrition assistance programs are at risk of being cut. The other proposals are for regional and state-based work, many of them to fund grassroots work that builds and strengthens community in rural and urban areas alike.
Proposals vary from providing hands-on training to help farmers be more resilient and creating wholesale markets for farmers in rural areas that are far from markets and lacking in infrastructure, to making it possible for low-income families to shop at the farmers market and afford good, healthful food, and fighting factory farms in rural communities. The proposals include insights from which we can learn so much. One of the proposals I'm reading had much to say about the way rural America is perceived these days, and about what's really happening in those communities: "We are in the midst of the struggle for economic, environmental and democratic justice, and the reality of what we are up against is not as simple as it oftentimes appears from the outside." Too often in our society we think we know what communities are going through without actually listening to them describe what they are going through. This listening is so important, and it is part of what makes Farm Aid's grant program process so informative and inspiring.
Reading about the work people and organizations are doing to strengthen family farmers, eaters and communities is so heartening. We're going to do our best to fund this crucial work as much as possible. If you want to be part of this critical function of Farm Aid—to support good work happening across the country to bring family farm agriculture front and center—please give a gift today. With your support, we can help everyone do more!
We'll make all of our granting decisions over the next few weeks–stay tuned to learn about the important and inspiring work Farm Aid is able to fund around the country with your help.

:: Being Another in The Simpsons :: - Dreams are what you wake up from.
There's a large version of this Simpsons Movie wallpaper available for download.
I found a site that lists all the wallpapers (in different sizes) in a single page here.
It's kind of like the 'Where's Wally' books, popular half a decade ago.
It was easy to find the Simpson family amongst the Springfielders.
I don't recall the elephant though.
That walked across the road inconspicuously, in the background, in a street scene.
With the limited interactions with the characters around me, I live my life simply.
It's like principal Skinner or lunchlady Doris when its an episode not about Springfield Elementary.
They can breathe a little more; perhaps even go out and sit on the swing a little.
Bask in the sun, and enjoy, for a moment, the bliss of simplicity.
at least you are one of the nondescript characters in the wallpaper. i'm not even in it!
caught the movie yet? how was it? i'm intending to watch it this week.
not yet, but the whold world seems to have caught it already!
Thanks for this! My brother is a huge Simpsons fan. I'm thinking of asking him if he wants to see it together. I'll be sure to forward the website to him! "Spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does!"
Haha.. at first glance, I found Marge Simpsons. How can you missed her blue #57 hair!! Haha...I didn't realised that all these years ever since the series were created, they have introduces so many characters. Wow!!!
the 3-eyes fish resides in the lake behind the burns montgomery nuclear power plant. it had 3 eyes because the radiation was beyond safe levels, and it leaked into the waters. they even had a swamp thing, which was really funny.
the family adopted in an episode. who has a habit of grabbing bart with his trunk, swallowing him, chewing him and then spitting him out. much to the horror of marge of cos. bart understands the elephant, coming from the wild, wouldn't be happy as a captivated pet. quite sweet actually.
an elephant as a pet?
anything can happen in a Simpson's episode lol.
The elephant had a small cameo role in the new Simpsons movie. Watch out for it... haha.


Sheffield Wednesday defender Liam Palmer says his thoughts will be with his late grandmother if he manages to make his Scotland debut on Thursday.
The Owls star has received his first call-up to the full international set-up, seven years after last pulling on a Scotland jersey, representing the under 21s.
Four of the five players looking to win their first Scotland caps (from left to right) Liam Kelly, Marc McNulty, John Fleck and Liam Palmer. Gavin McCafferty/PA Wire.
It's been quite a turnaround on all fronts recently for the full-back, who under Steve Bruce has shown some of his best and most consistent form for Wednesday.
That has prompted a call from Alex McLeish and Palmer looks set to earn his first senior cap against Kazakhstan on Thursday.
If and when that is the case, the 27 year-old from Worksop says he will be thinking of his Lanarkshire-born nan, who sadly never saw her grandson play for her country.
"My nan was a massive part of my life," Palmer told the media on Tuesday. "She lived on the road opposite the school I went to as a little boy so every day after school I went there until my mum finished work.
"She loved football and she loved sport. If I had a game for the school she used to walk up the road and come and watch and then get me some food after and things like that.
"She never saw me play for the Scotland youth teams. She passed away just before that. My family on my mum's side are all obviously really proud and she would have been really proud as well.
"I will definitely think of her. It was a shame towards the end. I went every day to visit her in intensive care. But it would be a great moment if I did make my debut.
Palmer also explained how he ended up representing Scotland in the first place.


A special project research grant was awarded to Dr. David Roye and Dr. Joseph Dutkowsky at Cerebral Palsy Center at Columbia University Medical Center in New York for their research platform on Pain in the Adult with Cerebral Palsy. The purpose of this two-year project is to address the scarcity of data related to the experience of pain for adults with cerebral palsy, to ultimately devise better pain treatment in these adults, providing a transformative addition to medical knowledge and patient care. The current published data deals mainly with prevalence and few articles discuss treatment efficacy or etiology. Contributing is the relatively subjective nature of pain coupled with the difficulty of assessing pain, especially in non-communicative or cognitively impaired people with CP. The specific aim of this research platform is to ultimately produce tangible and influential advances in the evaluation and understanding of pain in the entire population of adults with CP.
Principal Investigators: Dr. David Roye, MD, St Giles Professor of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery & Dr. Joseph Dutkowsky, MD Associate Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Columbia University Medical Center.

NetScaler | The IT Melting Pot!
This is one of the coolest things a part from the Workspace Cloud service that Citrix is working on. I've had the pleassure of trying this out and we at EnvokeIT have been doing a lot of tests of this Linux VDA tech preview.
So this little blog post is just going to show of the capabilities and how nicely this integrates with the Citrix XenDesktop architecture. First of all I'd like to say thanks to my colleagues Björn Bekkouche and Peter Smali for letting me use their lab environment!
Before we get into showing how it works and looks I must just highlight that if you have any questions about how we can assist you to deliver Linux-based Terminal Servers or VDI's to remote users in a secure and optimal just contact us at EnvokeIT here or pop me an email: richard at envokeit.com.
This is great for all of you with Developers on Linux! Have them code from anywhere in a secure manner! They can run their Linux VDA in your datacenter, connect to it from an Receiver compliant device and code from them and you have your intellectual property secured internally instead of having them checking out Git repositories to their local devices etc.!
So what is XenDesktop for Linux? Well, to answer that really simple I assume that you have some basic knowledge of the Citrix XenDesktop architecture.. if you don't then please read up on that a little before continue reading, one really good contribution to bulding your architecture is described in this Citrix Virtual Desktop Handbook or this Citrix XenDesktop – Blueprint. These contains a lot of valuable information that you shall think of and how to configure the environment to fulfill you use cases.
But overall think of the XenDesktop architecture of something like the following pictures (click to enlarge them). The first one shows the new model where we could run and take care of the VDA's ourselves on-premise but leverage the Workspace Cloud service from Citrix so that we don't anymore have to bother about the XenDesktop infrastructure components and the life-cycle management etc. of those. The second one is the more overall traditional architecture overview that you'd see of the different layers.
And as you see above this details the standard architecture wher you would have your Server or Desktop VDA's in the resource layer hosting the desktops for your users to connect to, but they have all been Windows-based up until now!
Now with the Tech Preview we can actually install the Linux-based VDA on a Red Hat or Suse machine and access that through the SAME Delivery Controllers and StoreFront stores that also manage our Windows-based VDA's.
And this is awesome! 🙂 We can leverage the already existing Windows-based architecture to just "hook in" our Linux-desktops as well and get users to conect through Receiver for Web, Receiver and even through the NetScalers if you need (works like a charm!!).
So as you can see here we have a nice little landing page for our entry points that are running different versions and access different environments etc.
With the myriad of features that we launched in PAN-OS 6.0, you may have missed a new deployment option for Palo Alto Networks VM-Series in your data center. In addition to the support of VM-Series for VMware environments, you can now deploy the VM-Series on the Citrix NetScaler SDX platform. We launched this with Citrix officially today.

TRADITIONAL NAMES: Koka (RR); Other Polynesian - Koka / Tongotongo (FIJ), Koka (TON), 'O'a (SAM); COMMENT: Rarotonga: a new name emerging 2000 was Nato.
KEY FEATURES: A semi-deciduous, spreading tree to 25m. LEAVES terminal clusters, alternate, glossy green, compound with 3 leaflets. LEAFLETS oval, to 15x10cm, edge with low teeth, central stalklet notably longer than laterals. FLOWERS - male & female trees separate; terminal, minute, green; male clusters dense to 20cmØ; female clusters simpler. FRUIT: open clusters; brown, spherical, to 1cmØ.
SIMILAR SPECIES: Allophyllus timoriensis has compound leaves with 3-leaflets, but stalklets are all short (vs central much longer); fruits oval and ripen bright red (vs. round and brown).
TAXONOMY: PLANTAE; ANTHOPHYTA (=Angiospermae); MAGNOLIOPSIDA (=Dicotyledones); ROSIDAE; Euphorbiales; EUPHORBIACEAE. COMMENT: Named after G.W.Bischoff, with an original latinisation as Bischofia, not Bischoffia. This monotypic genus is here kept in EUPHORBIACEAE, while others put it in its own family BISCHOFIACEAE and place this in the order Sapindales.
POSITIVE SIGNIFICANCE: Medicine, Material (Dye). Comments: Used in Samoa and Tonga to make a dye for tapa cloth, this use is not recorded in the Cook Islands. Seeds are used as ammunition in peashooters. The fruits are used medicinally (Whistler 1990). Makes hard and durable posts. Timber similar to Mahogany - red and easily worked, though vulnerable to attack by borer.
GENERAL NOTE: The eastern limit of this species as an indigenous tree is difficult to determine, but presumably at least to Fiji, Samoa and Tonga; Cook Islands and Societies indigenous or Polynesian introduction; Hawaii a recent introduction (AC. Smith, Flora of Fiji). Gives hard and durable posts; and in Tonga and Samoa the bark is used to make a red-brown dye commonly used on tapa [AC Smith].

Pottery kiln found in Great Suffolk Street
London SE1 website team
The first pictures of a previously unknown 17th-century delftware kiln in Great Suffolk Street have been shown to the public.
The site is currently used as a car park
The site is behind the surviving wall of the Grand-Vitesse depot
The results of the recent archaeological dig on the corner of Lavington Street and Great Suffolk Street were unveiled by Sian Anthony of the Museum of London who is preparing the official report.
Between March and June last year, her archaeological team concentrated on the area directly opposite the White Hart pub at the junction of Dolben Street. This ground was covered by the now demolished Grand-Vitesse railway building from the end of the 19th century.
The 0.7-acre Lavington Street site was acquired by developers Londonewcastle last year for £9.3 million. It appointed local architects Allies & Morrison to develop a mixed-use scheme for the site.
Sian Anthony, who was addressing the Southwark & Lambeth Archaeological Society at a meeting in The Cut, reminded her audience that Great Suffolk Street, known earlier as Gravel Lane, once had a raised surface to keep the farm track above the floodplain fields.
The pottery was set up on the eastern side in 1694 with the owner living alongside the pothouse and kilns. Museum research revealed that a family feud had led to an armed siege at the pottery and shots being fired. This incident resulted in a trial at Kingston Assizes as Bankside was at the time part of Surrey.
An inventory of 1726 records a storehouse holding over 96,000 pots in storage. Later tiles were manufactured before the site was turned into a glassworks in about 1750.
Sian Anthony said that "the high rate of survival of buildings" and the number of products found had provided invaluable information not only for her report to be published later this year but for future studies of similiar areas in Southwark.

Monuments to Louverture often only include mention of the oft-cited "tree of liberty," his abolitionism, or that he "died in France." Statues and plaques of Toussaint Louverture in Bordeaux, Grenoble, and in the Château de Joux near Pontarlier participate in what Christine Chivallon refers to as "mémoire oublieuse" (forgetful memory) to elide details of Louverture's imprisonment. French commemorations of Toussaint Louverture celebrate his abolitionism rather than provide restorative or symbolic justice for Haitians or former colonies impacted by French slavery and the slave trade.
On June 11, 1802 General Charles Victoire Emmanuel Leclerc, Napoléon Bonaparte's brother in-law tasked with reinstating slavery in Saint-Domingue, arrested Louverture along with his family and servant Mars Plaisir and deported them to France. After 28 days at sea, the Louvertures arrived in the French port of Brest. Toussaint was separated from his family and sent along with Mars Plaisir to the Château de Joux prison in the glacial Jura mountains of Franche-Comté. When the two arrived at the medieval fort on August 23 the prison's commander, Louis Philibert Baille de Beauregard, escorted Louverture and Plaisir to their cell. From the end of August until his death on April 7, 1803 Louverture was subjected to constant surveillance, room searches, and harsh conditions during his imprisonment.
Louverture's food supplies fluctuated, his firewood allotment was adjusted out of his control, and he suffered frequent fevers and lost a number of teeth. As Dannelle Gutarra's study of Louverture's captivity shows, Carl Linnaeus's racial taxonomies and craniology played a distinct role in calculating how to keep Louverture alive and how to process his body after death. For instance, the Napoleonic regime had calculated the amount of wood Louverture would need to merely sustain life one cord of wood in the fall months (August and September) and then two in the winter. However, when winter began in October, commander Baille only received 26 francs for Louverture's heating while a cord of wood cost 36 francs. After momentary declines in Louverture's health, Baille appealed for the minimum heating budget to keep the Haitian revolutionary alive. After the months carried on, Louverture lost numerous teeth, and was subjected to room searches in the middle of the night, interrupting any recuperative rest his body needed to withstand the physical toll of the Château de Joux and the frigid Jura mountains. Louverture's treatment therefore amounts to what Gutarra calls an "institutional assassination," which is a crystallization of how the slaveholding Empire of France treated black subjects, especially those attempting to topple the colonial order. The fact that Louverture was even held in prison shows that the Napoleonic regime needed information from him because people of African descent were often publically maimed or executed due to the costs of imprisonment.
In April 2003, the Haitian government donated a bust and plaque to the prison-turned museum commemorating the life of Toussaint Louverture for the bicentennial of his passing (shown above) with the "tree of liberty" inscription. Similar to many engravings and paintings of Toussaint Louverture (the bust at the Château de Joux presents the Haitian general in his French military regalia, complete with a tricorn hat. This visual motif, coupled with the inscription of his famous response to Leclerc during his arrest, links Louverture to a broader history of French abolitionist commemoration.
While Louverture's words can be, and have been, interpreted as a final battle cry in the fight for Haitian independence, the French government has embraced these words as a leitmoif for the history of abolition in the official public memory of the Republic. Indeed, Toussaint Louverture's 1801 constitution of Saint-Domingue eliminated the institution of slavery and that anyone born in Saint-Domingue would be free and considered a citizen of France. However, Louverture's constitution also installed a system of labor that conscripted workers to particular plantations. As CLR James writes "Toussaint could see no road for the Haitian economy but the sugar plantation." Images 2 and 3 show plaques and statues in Bordeaux and Grenoble that reproduce the same quotation, engraining even further the association between Louverture and an opaque history of abolition in France. In order to complete the circuit, the French state offers flowers to statues and plaques of Toussaint Louverture each year on May 10.
In claiming Toussaint Louverture as a French abolitionist figure, commemorative statues and plaques often mention the Haitian revolutionary's life span (1743-1803) or that he "died in Fort de Joux 1803." Certainly, there are spatial considerations and logistical issues surrounding the construction of monuments; they can only tell so much "history." However, as the plaque placed in Louverture's cell by then Haitian president Michel Martelly shows, it is possible to revisit memorial spaces to further contextualize historical spaces. Introduced in 2014, the plaque further situates Louverture within the Haitian context mentioning that he was born enslaved on the Bréda plantation and that he died "in this prison cell." The plaque also mentions Louverture's adherence to the values and ideologies of the French Revolution, but it does not mention the history of abolition directly.
The Haitian plaque is the latest attempt to symbolically wrest the remains of Toussaint Louverture from the French state, which consistently elides Haitian narratives of the Age of Revolutions in service of the French Republic. In fact, even the plinth in the French Panthéon reserved for Louverture says he "died in exile at the Fort de Joux." To place Louverture's remains in the Panthéon, if they are even to be found, would tie the Haitian Revolutionary's legacy to France and French republican abolitionism. For the reasons stated above, this would only further perpetuate a false, "forgetful memory" of Louverture's life and legacy. Abolitionist memories in France, revolve around the statecraft of the Republic and for Louverture to be remembered as solely as an abolitionist belies his insurgent beginnings as one of the most important leaders of the Haitian Revolution.

It is no secret that Americans love red meat. Whether it's steak, burgers, or barbeque, the allure of red meat is almost impossible to deny. So much so that in early 2018, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated that the average American would consume 222.2 pounds of red meat this year alone. With the current domestic product for livestock surpassing well over 199 billion pounds, the consumption of red meat won't be stopping any time soon.
However, meat lovers beware: a study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that a significantly high intake of red meat can pose a higher risk of breast cancer in young women.
Published in June 2014, the study followed the diets of roughly 89,000 women between the ages of 24 to 43 over the course of 20 years. Researchers found that women who regularly consume red meat from an early age possess a 22% risk of developing pre-menopausal breast cancer. In fact, daily servings of red meat showed an increased risk of breast cancer to 13%.
Researchers also took a number of external factors into account. Adjustments were made for age, hormone therapy, contraceptive use, and vices that included smoking and drinking.
In addition to the findings from the Harvard School of Public Health, the American Cancer Society has classified both red and processed meat as 'carcinogens'; substances that could promote the formation of cancer in the body. Processed meat is listed as a Group 1 carcinogen, meaning that there is evidence that consumption can lead to the development of cancer. Red meat, on the other hand, is classified as a Group 2A carcinogen; meaning that it could potentially lead to the presence of cancer in the body.
While it can be argued that lean cuts of red meat can be a great source of protein and nutrients such as vitamin B12, doctors across the board suggest cutting down. This means maintaining a balanced diet of fish, poultry, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and legumes instead. These kinds of food can serve as healthier and sustainable protein sources that could prevent the development of breast cancer in young women.
The concept of cutting down on or avoiding red meat is not a difficult shift for many young women. Today, women are conscious and pro-active about their bodies. In the last few years alone, women as young as 20 have taken the initiative to decrease their chances of developing breast cancer, either through lifestyle change or pre-emptive surgery. Just being aware alone is often a major first step.
Granted, there is nothing wrong with eating red meat every now and again. Whether it's a well-deserved steak or a burger, these dishes are often seen as a hard-earned treat after a day of heavy exercise or intense work at the office. A little red meat on occasion won't do any harm.
If anything, the secret to living a truly healthy life is not by avoiding meat, but by living in balance and moderation. Through a healthy diet and regular exercise, young women will have the strength to protect their bodies from dangerous diseases such as breast cancer.

Q: Подсчитать количество комбинаций Как посчитать количество комбинаций строки состоящей из 10 символов, где используются только латинские буквы в нижнем регистре и цифры.
Очень бы хотелось узнать формулу.

A: Могут быть использованы две формулы.
Если символы могут повторяться, то любой из 10-ти символов может принимать одно 36 значений (26 латинских букв плюс 10 цифр). Можно сказать, что это 10-тизначное число в 36-ричной системе счисления. Количество комбинаций будет равно 3610 или 3,6561584×1015.
Если символы не могут повторяться, то мы имеем дело с размещениями. Есть ещё сочетания, но в данном случае они не подходят, потому что размещения 123abc и abc123 будут разными, а вот сочетание это будет одно и то же.
Количество размещений из n по k считается по формуле Akn = n!/(n - k)!, то есть в вашем случае это будет 36!/26! или 9,2239326×1014

A: Всего символов - 36.
Если повторы могут быть - на первое место сколькими способами можно выбрать символ? 36. Для каждого первого сколькими можно выбрать второй? 36. Итого - 36*36. Для каждых первых двух... - ну, и так далее.
Всего - 3610.
Для алфавита  из N символов и длины строки m -
Если повторов быть не может - то на второе место - уже только 35 (один уже выбран), на третье - 34 (выбраны уже два)... И так далее. Итого - 36*35*34*33*32*31*30*29*28*27 = 36!/26!.
Для алфавита  из N символов и длины строки m - число размещений

A: Используемый алфавит содержит 36 символов: 26 букв и 10 цифр.
Число размещений без повторов = n!/(n-k)! = 36!/26!
Число размещений с повторами = nk = 3610

A: кол-во комбинаций = С!
Т.е. в вашем случае 10! комбинаций...

playoff clincher
West playoff picture complete: Sharks, Kings and Coyotes are in
By James O'BrienApr 5, 2012, 11:06 PM EDT
With the Pacific Division title still up for grabs, it's unfair to say that the Nashville Predators' 2-0 win against the Dallas Stars killed the drama of matches like the Los Angeles Kings-San Jose Sharks home-and-home series. Still, the Predators' pursuit of home ice advantage* sure made things a lot less interesting.
This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
Update: the Columbus Blue Jackets continue to revel in their role as spoilers; they eliminated the Colorado Avalanche with a 5-2 win.
What it clinched:
Playoff spots for the Phoenix Coyotes, Kings and Sharks.
Who's eliminated:
The Stars would max out at 91 points, so the Predators hammered the final nail in their season. The Avalanche can only get 90, so they're done too – and against a team that's far less dangerous (although almost as dangerous lately).
Why there's still some drama:
Again, the good news is that Pacific – and thus, the third seed – is still up for grabs. (Also, the seventh seed serves as a solid consolation prize.)
Sure, it's not as thrilling as just about everyone fighting tooth-and-nail for a playoff spot, but notching the No. 3 spot can be a huge advantage – especially if the Vancouver Canucks and/or St. Louis Blues stumble in early playoff rounds. Still, it's stunning to realize that the Stars could have been right there too if they took care of their late-season business.
* Nashville's win and Detroit's 2-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils means that the Predators only need a point to clinch the fourth seed and the huge (especially in negative way for the Red Wings) home ice advantage in their likely upcoming series. Of course, there's also a chance the Chicago Blackhawks could slide into the fifth seed; check out this breakdown from On the Forecheck for all the headache-inducing details.

East update: Panthers, Capitals clinch playoffs; Sabres are done
By James O'BrienApr 5, 2012, 9:50 PM EDT
Thursday night ended up being bittersweet for the Florida Panthers, bitter for the Buffalo Sabres and just plain sweet for the Washington Capitals.
With the Capitals' 4-2 win against the Panthers and the Philadelphia Flyers' 2-1 regulation victory against Buffalo, this much is clear:
1. The Sabres have been eliminated from the playoffs.
2. The Panthers are officially in the postseason for the first time since 2000 – the longest playoff drought in NHL history.
3. The Capitals will capture at least the eighth seed.
Point No. 3 is the most interesting because of what hasn't been settled. In a made-for-TV blessing, the Capitals can wrestle the Southeast Division title from the Panthers if they get any sort of win and the Panthers lose in regulation on Saturday (the last night of the season).
The Capitals might actually feel more comfortable facing a team they've booted from the playoffs twice in the Ovechkin era in the No. 1 seed New York Rangers, but a seventh seed – and thus a match with the defending Stanley Cup champions the Boston Bruins – is still plausible if Washington wins and Ottawa doesn't register another point.
Either way, Washington shook off a disturbing Michal Neuvirth injury when they only had a 1-0 lead to build it to 3-0. The Panthers found a way to get back into the game with two goals but Alex Semin scored a late insurance backhander as a power play expired to put it out of reach at 4-2.
Meanwhile, the Sabres face a summer of "What if?" questions, beginning perhaps with giving up a slim 1-0 lead to the Flyers. Philly certainly isn't an easy draw, but Ryan Miller & Co. must live with the fact that the orange and black ended their season two years in a row. (This time before the playoffs.)
Oh, and if you're into somewhat-ridiculous comparisons between Brooks Laich's guarantee and Mark Messier's famous one, guess who scored tonight's game-winner? Brooks Laich.
Here's a video update of what the East standings look like after a big night:

Rangers clinch Atlantic, East's top seed
The race to "win" the East's eighth seed is becoming quite the comedy of errors, with the Washington Capitals, Buffalo Sabres and maybe even Florida Panthers trying to lose less than the other teams. Whoever ends up in that spot better get their act together, too, because they're now guaranteed a match against the feisty and focused New York Rangers.
John Tortorella's gang clinched the Atlantic Division – and with that, the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference – by beating the Philadelphia Flyers 5-3.
The game began very ugly for Ilya Bryzgalov and the rest of the team as the Rangers went into the first intermission with a 4-0 lead. Few leads are safe against the Flyers – even as great as New York can be at stopping opposing offenses – so things evened out, but not enough to keep Henrik Lundqvist from winning his 39th game of 2011-12.
This marks the Rangers' first division title since they locked one up in 1994, a year that might be important to a handful of fans. (Just throwing it out there.) Speaking of which, this earlier post comparing this team to the last Stanley Cup-winning, Mark Messier-powered bunch might hold a little more water today.
Of course, New York still has a way to go before we can watch Ryan Callahan spazz out with the Cup like Messier did in those great clips.

Brent Sutter on the mood for the Calgary Flames, who were mathematically eliminated last night: "It's worse than being disappointed." (The Canadian Press)
The St. Louis Blues also lost on Saturday – to the Columbus Blue Jackets, no less – but they still clinched the Central Division. Still, losing to the Blue Jackets is a sign that St. Louis isn't the kind of team that can rest on its laurels. (The Associated Press)

Devils dominate Canes, clinch playoff berth
By James O'BrienMar 31, 2012, 9:41 PM EDT
The Carolina Hurricanes have bedeviled the New Jersey Devils in two fairly recent playoff series, so they served as a solid team for New Jersey to clinch a berth against. The Devils beat the Hurricanes 5-0 to reach that mark – and help Martin Brodeur earn the 119th shutout of his future Hall of Fame career.
As he has done for much of this season, Ilya Kovalchuk lead the Devils. He scored his 34th goal of the season and added two assists, including a helper on David Clarkson's game-winner.
The Devils are just about certain to fall into the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, thus making them the foil for whoever wins the Southeast Division. That could be a friendly matchup for New Jersey since the "third seed" isn't likely to be stronger than them – at least on paper.
Making the playoffs is a big step after failing to do so this season, but they might need a deep run to continue to stride in the right direction – and perhaps keep Zach Parise from leaving.

Pterygium Removal
Nd:YAG Laser Procedures
A pterygium is a benign triangular-shaped growth that develops on the thin, clear tissue covering the white part of the eye, eventually extending over the cornea, usually on the side closest to the nose. It may affect one or both eyes. The growth is a deposit of protein, fat, calcium, and/or blood vessels. If a pterygium becomes large and inflamed, it may require surgical removal, which is an outpatient procedure.
Pterygia can cause symptoms such as:
gritty sensation
feeling of having a foreign material in the eye
Causes of Pterygium
The exact cause of a pterygium is unknown, but it seems to develop more frequently in people who have excess outdoor exposure to wind and ultraviolet light from the sun. A pterygium is an area of raised white tissue with blood vessels on the inner or outer edge of the cornea. A pterygium is usually not painful, but can become inflamed and cause burning, irritation, or a foreign body sensation. Dr. Patel can detect the presence of a pterygium during a regular eye examination.
Treatment of Pterygium
Pterygium treatment depends on the size and symptoms of the growth. A small pterygium that becomes inflamed can be treated with topical medications and ointments to reduce the swelling and redness. If a pterygium becomes large, persistently inflamed, thick, blocks vision, and/or causes irregular astigmatism, it may need to be surgically removed. Some pterygia are also removed for cosmetic reasons.
Pterygium removal is an outpatient procedure. Several different, newer techniques can be performed during surgical removal to help minimize pterygium re-growth. Amniotic membrane, conjunctival autografting, and/or medications that prevent tissue growth such as Mitomycin C can be used to help decrease the rate of pterygium re-growth.
Despite proper surgical removal, pterygia can recur. Studies have reported recurrence rates from three to forty percent. Dr. Patel may prescribe medications to decrease swelling and prevent the pterygium from growing back. In addition, it is important to minimize exposure to the environmental factors thought to contribute to their growth.
Use artificial tears when eyes are dry.
Protect your eyes with appropriate eyewear when in dry, dusty conditions.
Wear wraparound sunglasses with 100 % UVA & UVB protection to protect the eyes.

In 2017, what lobbying firm did Mueller's team subpoena officials in regards to activities for a pro-Russian Ukrainian organization?
In August 2017, Mueller's team issued grand jury subpoenas to officials in six firms, including lobbying firm Podesta Group and Mercury LLC with regard to activities on behalf of a public-relations campaign for a pro-Russian Ukrainian organization called European Centre for a Modern Ukraine. The public relations effort was headed by Paul Manafort, and took place from 2012 to 2014. The Podesta Group is run by Tony Podesta, and Mercury LLC is headed by Vin Weber, a former GOP congressman. Mueller is investigating whether the firms violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The Podesta Group announced in November 2017 that it would be permanently closing, with many of its employees moving to Cogent Strategies, a new firm founded by Podesta Group CEO Kimberley Fritts. Mueller's office later referred the matter to other federal investigators, who closed it in September 2019 without charges against Podesta or Weber.
Who did Mueller interview in fall 2017?
Mueller is investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Republican activist Peter W. Smith, who stated that he tried to obtain Hillary Clinton's emails from Russian hackers, and that he was acting on behalf of Michael Flynn and other senior Trump campaign members. Trump campaign officials have denied that Smith was working with them. In fall 2017, Mueller's team interviewed former Government Communications Headquarters cybersecurity researcher Matt Tait, who had been approached by Smith to verify the authenticity of emails allegedly hacked from Clinton's private email server. Tait reportedly told House Intelligence Committee investigators in October 2017 that he believed Smith had ties to members of Trump's inner circle—including Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Kellyanne Conway—and may have been helping build opposition research for the Trump campaign. Smith committed suicide in May 2017, several days after talking to The Wall Street Journal about his alleged efforts. Aged 81 and reportedly in failing health, he left a carefully prepared file of documents, including a statement police called a suicide note. An attorney for Smith's estate said in October 2017 that some of Smith's documents had been turned over to the Senate Intelligence Committee. The Wall Street Journal reported on October 7, 2018, that Smith had raised at least $100,000 from donors in his pursuit of the Clinton emails, that his estate had provided documents to the Mueller investigation, and that associates of Smith had been questioned by Mueller's investigators or a grand jury. The Wall Street Journal reported on October 10, 2018, that Smith had established a "professional relationship" with Flynn as early as 2015, and during the campaign was using Flynn's contacts to assist with his search for the Clinton emails. The Journal reported on October 19, 2018, that the Mueller investigation has evidence Smith may have had prior knowledge of the Guccifer 2.0 hacks. The Mueller report later confirmed significant aspects of Smith's efforts to locate the Clinton emails, including his communications about it with Flynn and campaign co-chair Sam Clovis, as well as Flynn's actions to spearhead the effort at Trump's repeated requests. In May 2019, an unredacted version of a December 2018 government sentencing memo for Flynn showed he had advised investigators that members of the Trump campaign had discussed whether to contact WikiLeaks about the release of emails.
How much money is Kushner's company trying to resolve its financial difficulties?
Kushner Properties—from which Jared Kushner resigned as CEO in early 2017 to serve as a senior advisor in the Trump White House—purchased the office tower located at 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan in 2007, just before Manhattan real estate prices fell in the Great Recession. The property has since experienced financial difficulties that the company has been attempting to resolve with new financing, without success, before the property's $1.2 billion mortgage comes due in February 2019. This effort has reportedly been complicated by Trump's election, which has caused potential lenders to avoid appearances of conflicts of interest. The matter has raised the interest of investigators who are looking at Kushner's December 2016 meeting with Sergei Gorkov, who said in a statement issued by his bank that he met with Kushner in his capacity as the then-chief executive of Kushner Properties, while Kushner assured Congress in a July 24, 2017, statement that the meeting did not involve "any discussion about my companies, business transactions, real estate projects, loans, banking arrangements or any private business of any kind". CNN reported on February 20, 2018, that Mueller's investigation has expanded beyond Kushner's contacts with Russia and now includes his efforts to secure financing for Kushner Properties from other foreign investors during the presidential transition. Kushner Properties sold the 666 Fifth Avenue building in summer 2018.
What's the name of Trump's son-in-law who is being investigated in connection with Russia?
The Special Counsel investigation expanded to include Trump's and his associates' financial ties to Russia. The FBI is reviewing the financial records of Trump himself, The Trump Organization, Trump's family members, and his campaign staff, including Trump's real estate activities, which had been under federal scrutiny before the campaign. According to CNN, financial crimes may be easier for investigators to prove than any crimes stemming directly from collusion with Russia. Campaign staff whose finances are under investigation include Manafort, Flynn, Carter Page, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. At a New York real estate conference in September 2008, Donald Trump Jr. stated: "And in terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia." McClatchy reported on April 6, 2018, that Mueller's investigators that week arrived unannounced at the home of an unnamed business associate of the Trump Organization who had worked on foreign deals for the company in recent years. The investigators had warrants for electronic records and to compel sworn testimony, and were reported to be particularly interested in transactions involving Trump's attorney Michael Cohen.
When did The New York Times report that Dowd discussed presidential pardons?
The New York Times reported on March 28, 2018, that in 2017, as the Mueller investigation was building its cases against Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort, former Trump attorney John M. Dowd broached the idea of presidential pardons of the men with their attorneys. The Times reported this might have indicated concerns by Trump's legal team about what the men might reveal to investigators if they agreed to cooperate with the investigation in exchange for leniency. Although legal opinions vary as to whether this discussion alone would constitute obstruction of justice, prosecutors might present it as part of a pattern of activity that points to a conspiracy to thwart the investigation. CBS News reported on March 28, 2018, that Manafort is declining a plea deal and proceeding to trial because he is expecting a pardon from Trump, citing "legal sources with knowledge of his strategy". In May 2019, an unredacted version of a December 2018 government sentencing memo for Flynn showed that he advised investigators that both before and after his guilty plea "he or his attorneys received communications from persons connected to the Administration or Congress that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation."
When did Comey say the FBI was investigating whether there was collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia?
In February 2017, it was reported that White House officials had asked the FBI to issue a statement that there had been no contact between Trump associates and Russian intelligence sources during the 2016 campaign. The FBI did not make the requested statement, and observers noted that the request violated established procedures about contact between the White House and the FBI regarding pending investigations. After Comey revealed in March that the FBI was investigating the possibility of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Trump phoned Coats and Director of National Security Admiral Michael S. Rogers and asked them to publicly state there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and the Russians. Both Coats and Rogers believed that the request was inappropriate, though not illegal, and did not make the requested statement. The two exchanged notes about the incident, and Rogers made a contemporary memo to document the request. The White House effort to push back publicly on the Russia probe reportedly also included requests to senior lawmakers with access to classified intelligence about Russia, including Senator Richard Burr and Representative Devin Nunes, the chairmen of the Senate and House intelligence committees, respectively.


Mountain rangers played a very important role when it comes to prevent illegal logging and fire in the forest.
But they are always short of manpower and using modern technology seems to be the only measure to have efficient monitoring and pre-caution system.
When you are setting up a monitoring system in the mountain, you need to acquire the technology of data transmission and control for long range. FWS provides WiTDM to give you long range and high bandwidth in transmitting real-time monitoring images. And, WiTDM technology also with the ability of NLOS to cover the difficult barriers from terrain and woods. WiBONE has the centralized network management to make it possible for you to expand your system. Having these 3 technologies, we integrated them to a complete solution of high performance and low cost forest remote monitoring system.
You can set FWS KW-8000 series WiTDM outdoor bridge as the system long range network backbone and having KW-6000 WiBONE as extended subnet. Images from your monitoring system or other measuring equipment can send all those real-time data back to remote control center got a quick reaction and response.
Further to the above, our system also applied to warning and monitoring for flood and mud slide to protect our precious property.


Mountcharles (Irish: Tamhnach an tSalainn) is a townland (of 650 acres) and a village in County Donegal, Ireland. It lies 6 km from Donegal on the Killybegs road (N56). It is situated in the civil parish of Inver and the historic barony of Banagh. The village's name is usually pronounced locally as 'Mount-char-liss'.
In pre-Plantation times the area from the present N56 to the sea, including modern day Salthill, was known as Tamhnach an tSalainn ("the field of salt"). This refers to the fields along the coast which flooded with seawater with the flow of the tide, as the water receded, salt remnants remained in the fields.
The Irish name for the village refers to this salt mine in the area which local people worked in, and at a growing rate, as the salt extraction rate was increased by the plantation founder, Charles Conyngham. The name was later anglicized as Tawnaghtallan and Tawnytallan.
Whereupon English became the only language permitted for placenames in Ireland, the Cistercian Grange in the area was known as the Grange of Tawnytallon which led to the area being anglicised as Tawnaghtallan and Tawnytallan.
The English name for the village owes its origin to the Scottish plantation 'undertaker', Charles Conyngham, who arrived in Donegal during the Plantation of Ulster and asserted a landlord control over the area, renaming the region Mount Charles after himself. He is the ancestor of The 8th Marquess Conyngham (frequently, if inaccurately, known as 'Lord Henry Mountcharles') of Slane Castle, County Meath. By controlling the sale of salt from the region, Charles Conyngham then financed the building of the few surviving buildings in the village in the 17th century. The Conyngham estate and its large estate house (Hall Demesne), close to the village, are now unoccupied. The courtesy title of the heir apparent of The Marquess Conyngham is Earl of Mount Charles, being named after the village.
Alternatively, the origin of the modern name, Mountcharles, is from the 1660s. Albert Conyngham, son of Rev. Alexander Conyngham (Dean of Raphoe), was knighted by Charles II in 1666, and, in honour of the king,[dubious – discuss] the plantation founders, the Conyngham's enforced the name change to Mountcharles.
In 1611, at the start of the Plantation of Ulster, The Rev. Alexander Conyngham, first Church of Ireland Rector of Inver and Killymard, took ownership over the area, designating the area near the present Hall House as his own.
The village of Mountcharles was controlled by the Conyngham family thereafter. In 1676 Mountcharles was granted the sole right to hold markets and fairs: "Mountcharles, alias Tounytallon, a Friday market and four fairs on the 19th May, 11th September, 11th November and 17th March. Pursuant to patent signed and dated at Whitehall 9th December 1675 – granted to Sir Albert Conyngham, Kt. – July 27th 1676". The courtesy title of the heir apparent of The Marquess Conyngham is Earl of Mount Charles, is named after the village.
Arthur Young[who?] visited Mountcharles during his Tour of 1786.
The early houses were built with stone, which was quarried near St. Peter's Lough and at the quarries behind the town. The early houses were thatched. According to both the 1841 Census and Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, Mountcharles was the only town in the parish pre-Famine times.
The former country house of the Conyngham family, The Hall, is nearby the village. From the beginning of the 18th century the Conynghams no longer regarded Mountcharles as their principal seat, but Slane. It was sold by The 6th Marquess Conyngham immediately after World War II, in 1946, to pay for the installation of electricity in Slane Castle, Co. Meath.
Mountcharles gave its name to the Electoral Division of Mountcharles (Mountcharles DED) from 1850 to around 1956 but this Electoral Division was renamed to Tantallon in the late 1950s and statistically enumerated as such from the 1961 Census. Mountcharles is part of the five-seat Donegal constituency.
Mountcharles railway station was on a branch line of the County Donegal Railways Joint Committee, a narrow gauge railway system. It was opened on 18 August 1893 and shut on 1 January 1960.
The village has one general shop on the Main Street. A fishmongers, a local butchers, a post office, a pharmacy and local tea rooms. The area also hosts a pilates and yoga centre as well as a massage therapist, a beauticians, several hairdressers and a barber shop. There are two bars on the main street.
The village has a Gaelic games pitch that belongs to the local club Saint Naul's (Irish: Naomh Naile) and a nearby a football club, Eany Celtic F.C. In 2013, the Mountcharles Rowing Club was established.

Hallo, endlich einmal die deutschen Weihnachtsbräuche richtig erklärt, (denn in keinem deutschen Baum hängt eine Gurke wie so oft behauptet), danke dafür.Noch zu erwähnen, in den meisten Familien gibt es am heiligen Abend Kartoffelsalat und Würstchen.
Hello, finally for once the German Christmas traditions properly explained, (since on no German tree does a pickle hang as is so often declared), thank you for that. Also, want to mention that in most families, on Christmas Eve, they have potato salad and sausages.
Thank you, Tina, for your kind words. I was surprised to learn about the Christmas pickle. I needed to google it and find out, since I had heard something about it, but thought it was just in joke.
If you look at Wikipedia , it tells an interesting story why they think the American Christmas pickle came from Germany.
I like knowing about having potato salad and sausage for Christmas Eve. Sound so very German.
Thanks for sharing with us, Tina.
Hey, I thought that story about Germans having a pickle on their Christmas tree was pretty silly as well. I think it had to do with the decorations like it says on the Wikipedia link.
We love to have potato salad and sausage for our Christmas Eve as well Why? Tradition? No. Just because my Mom thought it was a nice easy and light supper for us.
After supper, we'd sit around the fireplace and sing some Christmas songs.
I still love to open our presents on December 24. It brings back memories of those Christmases so long ago.
Thanks for sharing about the pickle!

Stumptown–Smulders begins new detective series set in Portland with a good opener
Filed under: TV — Leave a comment
Cobie Smulders has enough street cred playing badass leads, including co-starring opposite Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, serving as the most powerful non-superheroine of the Marvel movies as Maria Hill, and she's the perfect Wonder Woman, although we only hear her voice as the character in The Lego Movie series. So why head back to television? Maybe after 200 episodes of being part of a hit ensemble cast on How I Met Your Mother, she wanted her own series? Whatever the reason, it's a win for TV viewers. Her new project is Stumptown, and the first episode aired this week on ABC.
Smulders is promising as Dex Parios, an army vet with PTSD, who takes care of her brother and has a gambling problem. Happily for her, everyone, including the head of the gambling house, seems to be on her side. In her first case, she's trying to locate the missing daughter of her deceased college boyfriend, in exchange for having a five-figure tab written off at the local Portland casino (yes, evidently Portland has had casinos since 1988). Initially she fails, but before she's totally written off by everyone except her brother (played by the engaging Cole Sibus), the writers skillfully show viewers why she might be a character to return to each week. Dex is a fighter, while also a mess and a bit snarky, but hopefully that's not all she is. Her old red Ford Mustang and its broken cassette tape deck that offers up the right song at the right time is a nice throwback to Philip Glenister and his red Audi Quattro on the classic detective series Ashes to Ashes.
Along with good writing in its opener, Stumptown boasts a supporting cast that brings plenty to the show. Jake Johnson (New Girl, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, Jurassic World) as bartender pal Grey demonstrates again why he's the best at playing the best friend. If you missed Michael Ealy as a great cop on Almost Human (or as Slap Jack in 2 Fast 2 Furious) you'll appreciate him back with a badge on this series. Even better, it looks like Donal Logue (Gotham, Vikings, Life, Zodiac, Sneakers) will join the cast in next week's episode. The only thing the series could benefit from is tapping all those local Portland actors like NBC's Grimm did so well. Unfortunately, other than some establishing shots, it doesn't look like the series will be filmed there.

The Battered Bastards of Baseball–Kurt Russell family dives into glorious snippet of baseball history
Filed under: Backstage Pass, Con Culture, Movies, Retro Fix — Leave a comment
Like most things about baseball, The Battered Bastards of Baseball reflects as much about an era of American culture, economics, and politics as it tells a wonderfully engrossing story about a brief history of the sport. Independent baseball–privately-owned teams unaffiliated with the Major League Baseball conglomerate–was a thing of the past when Portland, Oregon's minor league baseball team the Portland Beavers left town. It was the early 1970s and Portlanders weren't spending their time or money on minor league games. Then enters the well-known TV actor Bing Russell, stepping off his last of 14 seasons on Bonanza where he played a deputy sheriff. Russell appeared in everything back then, from Westerns from Wagon Train to Rawhide, and modern fare like The Munsters, The Rockford Files, and The Twilight Zone. There begins an underdog story, a mix of The Bad News Bears, Necessary Roughness, and Moneyball.
If you're lucky enough to trip into the Netflix documentary The Battered Bastards of Baseball, you'll wonder where this story is headed. It's a brief history of 1970s Portland and national baseball, and then actor/movie star Kurt Russell and his mother Louise Russell begin discussing his father in a typical documentary format. It turns out father Bing had a life-long affinity for the game, even being part of a significant piece of baseball history as mascot for the New York Yankees, befriending Joe DiMaggio, Lefty Gomez, and Lou Gehrig, who gave Bing the bat he used in his last game before retiring. That love for the game apparently never left Bing, who concocted an idea to bring baseball right back to Portland by taking the entrepreneurial route–forming a pure upstart baseball team to play minor league ball. Resurrecting the independent team model he would hold an open tryout for the new Portland Mavericks–if you build it they will come. And they did. Players rejected from the big leagues, some retired, many with paunches, and pre-movie star Kurt on the team, too, some players older than most teams would favor, and a bunch of hairy-faced guys decades before it became the "in" thing–all would come together to form a motley band of brothers that would earn a crack at the pennant. With a 30-man roster, and Bing's personal brand of fun, fans packed the stadium again, the team setting a record for the highest attendance in minor league history, blazing the trail in other ways, naming the first woman general manager in baseball, Lanny Moss. But like all good things it seems, a villain would enter the picture to wreck it all.
The real deal: Kurt Russell playing in the Minor Leagues with the Portland Mavericks.
With that nostalgic, cheery vibe of Ivan Reitman's 1970s movie Meatballs or a dialed-back Slap Shot, Bing's grandsons Chapman Way and Maclain Way splice together both baseball, Hollywood, and Portland nostalgia to assemble a completely engaging, crowd-pleasing story of underdogs and misfits and the pied piper who led them. If you remember that every baseball stadium in 1970s America–and every grade school–had kids chomping on Big League Chew–you'll learn that connection to the Mavericks, too.

Grimm adaptation of TV series coming next month from Dynamite
Filed under: Comics & Books, Fantasy Realms, TV — Leave a comment
Following the further exploits of Portland detective Nick Burkhart, his partner Hank Griffin, Blutbad werewolf pal Monroe, and girlfriend Juliette, Dynamite Comics has released some teasers and cover art for its new ongoing monthly series Grimm, to be released in May. The story is written by show writers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, with final script by Marc Gaffen and Kyle McVey. Jose Malaga will serve as series artist. Alex Ross is back again with a cool incentive cover.
The TV series is filmed in Portland, and often you get glimpses of nearby surroundings, but because so much happens with the Wesen of the week in the woods, we think they could show some more of the beautiful and lush area where the series takes place. Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for several years we have our own list of haunts we think Nick & Co. should visit on future cases in both the TV series and new comic book series. How about considering these locations, Grimm creators?
The Saturday Market. This weekend fixture is surrounded by classic architecture and brick we think we have spotted before, but how about having Nick run in pursuit through a crowd of shoppers buying homemade soaps and incense, or grab a gyro from a street vendor?
Fleet Week on the Waterfront. It's about the "port" in Portland, the Willamette Riverfront hosts giant naval vessels each year in a grand show of seapower–a great stage for an episode of Grimm.
Original art cover sketch by Alex Ross.
Columbia River Gorge. One of the most beautiful places on Earth and we've yet to see Nick and Monroe drive down the Gorge to track the scent of some "creature from the Columbia River".
