10 Most Popular Firearms for Concealed Carry
Glock 26/27 aka "Baby Glock"
Released in 1994, the Glock 26 has become the most highly sought after concealed carry firearm on the market. In a pinch, it can accept larger Glock magazines and it can be altered easily to allow for right-handed/left-handed operators.
Specs: Glock 26 Gen 4 Glock 27 Gen 4
Caliber: 9mm / .40 S&W

We've reviewed this firearm extensively in a prior article you can find here. Our opinion? It's a good, reliable and cheap single stack concealed carry pistol. Chambered in either 9mm or .40 S&W, people have largely taken to it like a duck to water.
Specs: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm .40 S&W
Magazine Capacity: 7+1 (Standard) / 6+1 (Standard)
Sig Sauer P220/Sig P250
The P220 Carry is a much more concealable version of the famous Sig Sauer P220. All the capabilities of an SA/DA full-size combat pistol packaged perfectly for the concealed carrier. Added bonus? It's chambered in .45 ACP. The big alternative (though not the only one) is the Sig Sauer P250. Chambered in 9mm, it provides DAO operation perfect for fast reaction times.

Specs: Ruger LCP 3701
Caliber: .380 Auto
Magazine Capacity: 6+1
Kahr CM9/PM9
A Kahr CM9 can fit nearly anywhere on the concealed carrier. It truly is built for everyday carry. While the PM9 features some largely aesthetic improvements over the CM9, the Kahr CM9093 is truly a fine, well put-together DAO pistol with an overall length of less than 5.5″.

Caliber: 9mm
Magazine Capacity: 6+1 (standard)

Beretta PX4 Storm – Sub-Compact
It sort of looks like that gun Harrison Ford's character carried in Bladerunner. Well, Beretta is bringing geek sci-fi to a whole new level with the Px4 Storm Compact. Its modular design allows the user to configure the pistol to suit his carry style best. Best of all, it's one of the few pistols that can be chambered in .40 S&W and actually perform well with it.
Specs: Px4 Storm Compact Type F
Magazine Capacity: 15 (9mm) / 12 (.40 S&W)
Ruger LCR Double-Action Revolver
Equipped standard with either five rounds of .38 Special, .357 Magnum, or even 9x19mm Luger, this double-action revolver is ideal for single hand grip. Whether it's an everyday carry or an emergency back-up – this revolver was designed for precision, reliability, and force.

MSRP: $545 (Base model, .38 Spc +P)
Springfield XD-S 45 – 3.3″ barrel / Springfield Armory XD-S 9
Single stack .45 ACP capability in a concealed carry platform? We're in. The Springfield XD-S .45 ACP with a 3.3″ barrel definitely provides a great platform for putting large caliber rounds downrange. Best of all – it handles the torsion and stress extremely well. Worth every penny. For those that don't dig larger calibers, it's also available in 9mm.
Specs: XD-S 3.3″ Single Stack .45 ACP XD-S 3.3″ Single Stack 9mm
Kimber Micro Carry
Kimber is known for their special edition and custom models of 1911. And plenty of concealed carrier insist on carrying a full-size Kimber or even Kimber Pro Carry. For those that may have a more difficult time concealing a full size 1911 in their waistline, Kimber offers the Solo and the Micro. The Micro is great because it stays on the 1911 platform – so if you're a 1911 aficionado, you can stay with a form factor you're familiar with. It measures in less than 5.6″ in total length and holds 6 .380 auto rounds in its magazine.
Specs: Micro Carry .380 Auto
Bersa Thunder .380
No frills, no chills – this is a bare-bones Argentinian .380 Auto known for its reliability and service with pilots in South America. Its rise to popularity has largely been from its price point – but that's quickly been followed up with good range reviews and decent magazine capacity.

Preparing for the Messiah requires us to ready our eyes for sight and, if we can see Christ in the past, then we can anticipate his presence in our future. During Advent I want to renew my faith, hope, and love in Jesus, but how?
Take a moment to look back over the past year; recall three instances that started off rocky and then became smooth, I bet we can recognize Christ there.
In the stable and beyond.

How Newcastle United's global revenue has not been significantly affected by relegation - just yet
Relegation will likely affect Newcastle United's revenue in the long run, but finishing 18th in the Premier League hasn't in the short term
Chris WaughNUFC Writer
Newcastle United have dropped four places in Deloitte's annual Football Money League to 21st - primarily due to their lowly Premier League finish.
The Magpies' revenue decreased by just £1million (€1.1m) year on year from £146.6m (€169.3m) in 2014/15 to £145.6m (€168.2m) in 2015/16, seeing United fall just outside of the world's top 20 'richest clubs'.
However, it is the 2016/17 figures - which will be released next January - when Newcastle's position is likely to tumble significantly given the fact they are no longer in the Premier League and will miss out on the new bumper broadcast deals in the English top flight which began this season.
The 2015/16 figures reflect last season's revenue to June and therefore United's position does not factor in the shortfall the Magpies will feel this term following relegation.
Instead, Newcastle's £1m drop can primarily be accounted for by the drop in Premier League prize money from their 15th-place finish in 2014/15 to 18th the following campaign.

As a result, United dropped from 17th on the Deloitte list to 21st.
The figures are calculated using the money clubs generate from matchday sales (including from tickets sold and also corporate hospitality), broadcast revenue and also commercial sources (for example merchandise and sponsorship).
Revenues exclude player transfer fees, VAT and other sale-related taxes, however.
Only 10 teams have remained ever-present in the top 20 of the Money League throughout its 20-year existence, with 41 different clubs in all having featured at one point or another.
This season, clubs must earn £148.9m (€172m) to break into the top 20 - a figure Newcastle only just missed out on .
Newcastle 3-1 Birmingham: Jonjo Shelvey shows what United have been missing - 5 things we learned
There are eight English clubs in the top 20, but only 12 in the top 30 - down from 17 the previous year - and champions Leicester City are the only debutant.
Interestingly, it is predicted that a record number of Premier League clubs could feature next year once the bumper TV rights deal has really taken effect.
Sunderland are 29th in the Football Money League, down from 25th the previous year.
* The figures have been converted from euros to pounds using the conversion rate on January 19, 2017 - but the conversion rate would have been more favourable to the pound back on June 30, 2016

Like it or not, they're b-a-c-k. Family members who once flew the coop have come back to nest, and NBC's new Crowded makes the most of togetherness. The show is timely when you consider that the think tank, the Pew Research Center, found the percentage of 18- to 34-year-olds living with mom and dad is higher today than in decades. The economy can share the blame for that, as can other factors.
So what happens when two grown daughters and a set of parents come back to roost? Watch and see in this funny new outing focused on the Moore family premieres Sunday, March 20, at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
Patrick Warburton plays Mike while Carrie Preston is Martina. They join Stacy Keach, Carlease Burke, Mia Serafino and Miranda Cosgrove to round out a cast of all ages. Suzanne Martin of Hot in Cleveland is writer and an executive producer.
In this video, Patrick and Carrie tell all, and also tell us how they stay looking and feeling so great. You remember Patrick as Puddy on Seinfeld, and from seven seasons on Rules of Engagement. He's done voiceovers, and plenty of them, for Family Guy, Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated and more.
Patrick, 51, has four children of his own and as he shares here, some very creepy critters in his "real" house. Carrie with the gorgeous smile, 48, won an Emmy as Elsbeth Tascioni on The Good Wife. We've also seen her on Person of Interest, True Blood and Happyish, and like Patrick, in a strong list of films.
Enjoy this lively chat with Patrick and Carrie. Then enjoy Crowded: alone or with other people.

Q: Validating JTW token generated by Azured AD B2C I am trying to implement Azure AD B2C auth on my endpoints using Azure Functions.
When I call  https://{MyAzureAd}.b2clogin.com/{MyAzureAd}.onmicrosoft.com/{Flow}/oauth2/v2.0/token
I got this result...
{
  "access_token": "...",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": "3600",
  "refresh_token": "..."
}

The access token is a JWT.... Now I need to checjk if the token is really valid, but I don't know how or where the secret is located....
I gone already to https://login.microsoftonline.com/{TenantId}/.well-known/openid-configuration and got the x5c to use as certificate, but it's not working...Any clue ? this is my code...
    if (!req.Headers.ContainsKey("Authorization"))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("No Authorization hader");
                return new UnauthorizedResult();
            }
            string authorizationHeader = req.Headers["Authorization"];
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(authorizationHeader))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Authorization is null");
                return new UnauthorizedResult();
            }
            IDictionary<string, object> claims = null;
            try
            {
                Console.WriteLine(authorizationHeader);
                if (authorizationHeader.StartsWith("Bearer"))
                {
                    authorizationHeader = authorizationHeader.Substring(7);
                }
                Console.WriteLine(authorizationHeader);

                // Validate the token and decode the claims.
                claims = new JwtBuilder()
                    .WithAlgorithm(new HMACSHA256Algorithm())
                    .WithSecret("Where on Azure Portal can I get this ????")
                    .MustVerifySignature()
                    .Decode<IDictionary<string, object>>(authorizationHeader);
            }
            catch (Exception exception)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
                return new UnauthorizedResult();
            }
            string Username = Convert.ToString(claims["username"]);
            string Role = Convert.ToString(claims["role"]);
            Console.WriteLine(Username, Role);

A: In your title you ask for "Decoding", but in your post you ask for "Validating" a token.
For decoding you only need base64 with some char replacements, you can even do that on frontend without a problem:
const base64Url = token.split('.')[1];
const base64 = base64Url.replace('-', '+').replace('_', '/');
const decodedToken = JSON.parse(atob(base64));

For validation, aspnet has inbuildt middleware that handles it for you:
// in ConfigureServices
services.AddAuthentication(o => o.DefaultScheme = JwtBearerDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddJwtBearer(o =>
{
    o.Authority = Configuration["B2cAuthority"];
    o.Audience = Configuration["B2cAudience"];
});

// in Configure

app.UseAuthentication();

In Azure Functions you can use it almost identically as outlined here: https://blog.darkloop.com/post/bringing-authorizeattribute-to-net-azure-functions-v2

Theatre Trivia Tweet: The Doctor is In | All Tickets Inc.
A scene from the play in question.
What play focuses on a boy who blinds six horses and the doctor who treats him?
That would be Equus by Peter Schaffer who was inspired to write the play focusing on Alan Strang and his doctor Martin Dysart after hearing about a real incident where a young man blinded horses.


Me: Why do I know the name Ember Swift?
James: I saw her live at Crawdaddy's* in 2003.
Me: Wow. OK… Did she have something to do with Hawksley? He produced or something? Or is that my faulty memory?
James: Entirely possible. The thought crossed my mind too.
Me: Was she any good tho? There's a CD here, is all. I was curious.
James: I liked it well enough but she was super political in that way where I pretty much agree with all of it but Jesus Christ dial it back a little. Apparently. I don't really remember it, but that's what I wrote down.
Me: Haha. I'm going to buy the CD just because of that.
Anyway, this 1997 effort is alternately full-on strident young lady with an acoustic guitar Ani DiFranco-ish goodness, and beautiful ballad strummery. All is offered with a voice perfectly suited for both. I liked how she even quoted Alanis in the first track, Own It, a tune on which she absolutely goes for broke. The piano playing on Awkward Lover perfectly emulate her voice, and the violin on Fly is a great touch. The album ends with a track of her eating sour cream and onion chips. I know.
If I had heard this in 1997, I'd have been all over it as it's the sort of university dorm room album I'd have embraced, and a show at the pub/coffeeshop would have rocked us. In 2019, in my mid-40s, to hear this now, I still enjoyed it.
Also: I still don't know if there was ever a Hawksley connection. Are you out there reading this, Ember? Was there one, at any point?


The need to learn from the Holocaust, that hideous marker of where antisemitism leads, was underlined again recently when the Guardian and Observer reported two separate sets of data: the Community Security Trust's finding that antisemitic incidents in the UK are at a record high for the third successive year; and the results of a poll which found that, as the online headline put it, "One in 20 Britons does not believe Holocaust took place".
Readers responded with a mix of disquiet and indignation. Wasn't there an important difference, some asked, between not knowing and not believing? Had the article conflated those two categories of respondents, so that the shocking figure of 5.4% disbelievers was misleading?
The article was accurate, as we will see. But the readers' queries were understandable. There is a material and moral distinction between not knowing about this episode in history, this fact, and being aware of the Holocaust but deciding not to believe the fact. Ignorance of this matter should shame an adult but is reparable. Wilful disbelief, especially if it involves active denialism, is contemptible.
The numbers behind the poll headline are public. (Click the "results part two" button.) To the proposition "the Holocaust never really happened", responses were: strongly agree 2.6% (53 people, of whom 35 were aged under 45); agree 2.8% (57, 46 under-45s); neither agree nor disagree 6.9% (139, 105); disagree 10.7% (214, 123); strongly disagree 72.9% (1,462, 604); I don't know 2.8% (57, 36). Twenty-four people (23 under 45) affirmed: "I have never heard of the Holocaust." Yes, it is a relatively small sample. Strong majorities backed key points, such as the need for more education. And there was caution: only 25% strongly agreed or agreed that "something like the Holocaust couldn't happen again", though 21% neither agreed nor disagreed with that proposition.
Disquieting also was the degree of agreement with the assertion that "the scale of the Holocaust is exaggerated": 8.2% strongly agreed or agreed. To the proposition that "the Holocaust is irrelevant now", 8.4% strongly agreed or agreed. Another 12.6% responded that they neither agreed nor disagreed with that statement.
Indifference can be a special kind of ignorance.

Patriot Ride Launches From Beaver Dam
May 20, 2019 / Daily Dodge / News
(Beaver Dam) The Patriot Tour is moving into in Iowa today, two days after launching from downtown Beaver Dam. The non-profit Nation of Patriots coordinates the journey that sees multiple motorcycle riders carry one American flag, city-to-city, through all 48 continental states. Bill Sherer founded the organization a decade ago after hearing stories of hardship from friends who are veterans.
During the opening ceremony on Saturday morning, Sherer took a moment to thank those who have supported his mission over the past ten years. He says he is proud of the people involved and everything they accomplished over the years. Before departing, Sherer shared some encouraging words for the riders of the Patriot Tour. He told the motorcyclists that when they ride, they ride as a Nation of Patriots and he is honored to have them by his side.
To date, the Patriot Tour has collected around $900-thousand dollars and Sherer says the goal is to eclipse the $1-million-dollar mark during this year's journey. The organization has already raised $6,500 dollars in honor of a long-time volunteer who recently passed away after battling cancer.
The ride will return to Beaver Dam on Saturday, September 7 at Swan Park. More information, donor opportunities, photos, video and a complete Patriot Tour schedule can be found at http://www.nationofpatriots.com

When Should We Move in Together?

More American couples are skipping the wedding and just living together. Census data show a 30 percent rise in cohabitation among unmarried couples. Most of those couples are under 35, but the Pew Research Center found that Americans over 50 are cohabiting as well. Some couples even sign agreements in advance -- laying out the terms of who walks the dog or does the dishes. But how do you decide when it's time to move in together? And how do you keep the peace when you're sharing the same space? We talk to a couples therapist, a lawyer who advises unmarried couples and a sociologist.
Frederick Hertz, attorney; author, "Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples" and "Counseling Unmarried Couples"
Amanda Jayne Miller, professor of sociology, University of Indianapolis; co-author, "Cohabitation Nation: Gender, Class, and the Remaking of Relationships"

VOTE EARLY: In urging Marylanders to take advantage of early voting, the opinionators at the Frederick News-Post write, "Early voting is not an option for everyone, but for many voters it is a great alternative. When you vote early, you avoid the many unforeseen problems that can thwart your attempt to vote on Election Day."
O'M'S MARCH FOR EARLY VOTING: The Post's John Wagner blogs that Gov. O'Malley's semi-retired Celtic rock band, which seems to be surfacing quite a bit lately, is booked Saturday at an event in Silver Spring promoting early voting.
POLL WATCHDOGS: The Maryland Democratic Party and some of its top elected officials are complaining that a Maryland voter watchdog group is training people in voter suppression. Election Integrity Maryland, an offshoot of the Texas-based TRUEtheVOTE, has trained up to 200 poll watchers across the state to monitor what should be one of Maryland's most contentious elections in memory, writes Glynis Kazanjian of MarylandReporter.com.
REDISTRICTING: Robert Lang of WBAL-AM reports on the fight against redistricting that crossed color lines and united some Republicans and Democrats throughout the state. There's also a video interview with Republican activist Tony Campbell as well as audio files of interviews with those for and against the new map, Comptroller Peter Franchot and with U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes who speaks about his new district.
MARRIAGE VIEWPOINTS: Dan Rodricks, on WYPR-FM, hears from both sides of the Civil Marriage Protection Act that would allow same-sex couples to marry in the state of Maryland, speaking to Derek McCoy, leader of the Maryland Marriage Alliance, and Del. Maggie McIntosh.
DUTCH FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY: David Moon of Maryland Juice writes that U.S. Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger has finally come out for marriage equality, but wonders where U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings stands on the issue.
DREAM ACT: Some see hope, others see a drain on state resources as Marylanders consider upholding the Dream Act, which would give in-state tuition to some illegal immigrants, reports Matthew Hay Brown in the Sun.
DREAM TO COURT: If a controversial ballot question passes next month, state Del. Pat McDonough said Tuesday, the first thing he will do on Nov. 7 would be to start readying a case for federal court, reports Tyler Waldman in Patch.com. "It won't be over on Nov. 6, probably no matter what happens, no matter who loses," he said.
IMPROPER POLITICAL USE: The Baltimore school system is looking into whether an event held at a public charter school to promote passage of the Dream Act, which is on the Nov. 6 ballot, was an improper use of facilities to promote a political cause, reports Michael Dresser in the Sun.
PROBE OF MO CO FUND USE: The Maryland state prosecutor has launched a criminal investigation into whether Montgomery County officials improperly used county resources during two ongoing referendum campaigns, blogs Victor Zapana in the Post. The ballot measures involve a local police labor law and a county hiring authority for people with severe disabilities.
The use of public funds — instead of money raised by a ballot issue committee — to campaign for the measure may violate election law and result in a fine of up to $25,000 and up to a year in prison, State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt said in a letter to the Montgomery County Council and Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett, writes Rachel Baye in the Washington Examiner.
GAMBLE ON ADS: Sun editorialist Andy Green writes about the latest – and amusing – pro-gambling expansion ad and the silly response that anti-gambling forces have issued and the silly response to the response that the pro-gambling forces have issued.
DELEGATE REPLACEMENTS: Prince George's Democrats are poised to replace two members of the House of Delegates who have stepped aside in recent weeks, writes Miranda Spivack for the Post. One is Del. Tiffany Alston, who was suspended from office for misconduct earlier this month. In June, Alston was found guilty of misconduct in office and of stealing $800 from the General Assembly to pay an employee of her law firm.
O'MALLEY DIPS IN POLL: About half of Maryland voters say they approve of the job Gov. Martin O'Malley is doing, his lowest rating in a Washington Post poll since taking office, report Scott Clement and John Wagner of the Post. Forty-nine percent of registered voters approve of O'Malley's job performance, while 41% disapprove.
HOW TO STAY MINORITY PARTY: Republicans in Maryland often wonder why they lose, opines columnist Marta Mossburg in the Sun. The letter sent last week by Michael Steele and Audrey Scott to Maryland Republicans urging them to vote for expanded gambling is a perfect example of how the party solidifies its minority status.
3rd DISTRICT: Elisha Sauers of the Capital Gazette profiles Republican 3rd Congressional District Republican candidate Eric Knowles and incumbent Democrat U.S. Rep. John Sarbanes, finding stark differences in background and world-views.
6th DISTRICT: U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, who is fighting for political survival in the competitive 6th Congressional District against Democrat John Delaney, said during a televised debate Tuesday that he is conflicted about an upcoming ballot question that would let some illegal immigrants pay in-state tuition rates at Maryland schools, John Fritze reports in the Sun.
CITY QUESTION K: Adam Meister blogs about Baltimore City's referendum, Question K, which would change the timing of local elections to coincide with state and national ones. But he urges people to vote against it, writing, "The current system and the proposed Question K system gives our leaders unnecessary job security and decreases the chances of new blood entering the local or state political system."
CHARTER FOR FREDERICK? Pete McCarthy and Bethany Rodgers of the Frederick News-Post continue looking at charter government for Frederick and whether having a county executive would give the county an in with the governor and other county executives.
LEOPOLD'S BILL: Private counsel for Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold has charged the county government more than $42,000 for work on a federal discrimination and retaliation case brought by a former county media liaison, reports Allison Bourg for the Capital-Gazette.
LEGISLATORS' HELP SOUGHT: Canal Place leaders looking for cash to help stabilize and repair the Footer Dye Works building in Cumberland turned to local legislators for help and guidance at an informal meeting Tuesday. Legislators emphasized the need for a clear plan for the building and preferably a commitment from a developer to make a case for state funding, reports Matthew Bieniek for the Cumberland Times-News.

Robin Hood je literární postava, archetyp anglického lidového hrdiny, lučištníka a zbojníka,  který bohatým bere a chudým dává. Podle pověsti žil se svojí družinou v lese Sherwoodu nedaleko Nottinghamu v době zajetí krále Richarda Lví srdce, tedy na přelomu 12. a 13. století. Středověká legenda se rozšířila po Anglii a posléze ve velké části světa na základě dětské knížky The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (1883) amerického spisovatele Howarda Pyla.

Historie Robina Hooda
Přímý doklad z doby jeho života neexistuje, ze středověku se dochovaly pouze krátké zmínky o jeho osobě už jako o lidovém hrdinovi. Mýtus byl tedy pravděpodobně tradován v ústní formě. Celková zpracování jeho života se objevují masově po vynálezu knihtisku. Od počátku 16. století je jeho osoba ztotožňována se šlechticem Robertem z Locksley.

Do doby zajetí Richarda Lví srdce byla legenda poprvé zasazena až koncem 16. století. Původní středověké balady kladly život hrdiny na přelom 13. a 14. století. Konečné ukotvení jeho příběhu v 90. letech 12. století je poměrně zřetelně ovlivněno známým románem Waltera Scotta Ivanhoe.

Osoba jeho družky Mariany, královy schovanky, má inspirační zdroj pravděpodobně v hrdince francouzské hry Jeu de Robin et Marion Adama de la Halle, která vznikla nejdříve koncem 13. století. Podobně jako postava Robina Hooda se role Mariany v pověsti proměňovala nejvíce během 19. a 20. století.

Německý spisovatel Bernd Ingmar Gutberlet uvádí, že skutečný Robin Hood vůbec nemusel být kladným hrdinou. Naznačují to zápisy z letopisného díla Scotichronicon (Skotská kronika) kronikáře Waltera Bowera (1385 – 1449) V něm je pozdější Robin Hood označen jako chladnokrevný hrdlořez.
Britský historik Sean McGlynn přišel v březnu roku 2013 s novou "hoodovskou" teorií. Tento zbojník se prý skutečně na území Británie 13. století pohyboval. Nejednalo se o žádného mírumilovného okradeného šlechtice, jak uvádí legenda, ale o nebezpečného vraha. Jeho jméno mělo být William z Kenshamu. William byl údajně také vynikající lučištník, schovával se v lesích, byl vůdcem skupiny zbojníků a okrádal bohaté. Velkou většinu toho, co uloupil, si samozřejmě nechal a nerozdal vše hned chudým jako Robin Hood. I když to byl vrah a kriminálník, vracel místním lidem majetek, který jim zabrali Francouzi. Chtěl si tak místní přiklonit na svou stranu a věřil, že mu za to budou v jeho partyzánství pomáhat.

Obsah legendy

Robert z Locksley byl středověký šlechtic, který se za vlády Richarda Lví srdce vracel z křižáckých výprav zpět do rodné Anglie jako válečný veterán. V Anglii ale přišel o všechen svůj majetek, jejž mu uloupil princ Jan Bezzemek. Princ měl také svého osobního "našeptávače". Byl jím nottinghamský šerif. Proto Robert odešel z Nottinghamu do Sherwoodského lesa, kde se seznámil se skupinou uprchlíků. Mezi nimi si také našel přátele – Malého Johna a zavalitého mnicha Tucka. Vynikal v lukostřelbě. Po celé Anglii se povídalo, že nikdo nestřílí lépe než on. Uprchlíci si Roberta zvolili za svého vůdce a začali mu říkat Robin Hood. Dále byl v kontaktu se synovcem Willem, Willem Scarletem…

Hoodova skupina začala okrádat zbohatlé šlechtice a obchodníky, kteří projížděli Sherwoodem. Lesem totiž vedla hlavní obchodní stezka. Aby rozhněvali šlechtu, rozhazovali zbojníci uloupené zlato chudým. Tímto si vysloužili status zločinců a psanců. Na Hoodovu hlavu nechal nottinghamský šerif vypsat tučnou odměnu.

Hood se také tajně zúčastnil slavné Nottinghamské lukostřelecké soutěže. Aby ho šerif s princem nepoznali, převlékl se za chudáka a vyhrál stříbrný šíp. Po této lukostřelecké soutěži utekla Mariana, která byla do zbojníka zamilovaná, do Sherwoodu za Robinem, kde je mnich Tuck oddal.

Robin Hood se opět stal majetným šlechticem, když se vrátil do Anglie král Richard Lví srdce. Majetek mu byl vrácen a on mohl odejít z Sherwoodského lesa.

Jeho život podle legendy nakonec ukončila matka představená z rozpadajícího se kláštera. Dala mu nápoj, po kterém Robin usnul, a ona mu ve spánku podřezala žíly. Když se probudil, byl na pokraji sil a zatroubil na svůj roh o pomoc. Na pomoc mu přišel jeho věrný přítel Malý John. Už se ale nedalo nic dělat, Hood ztratil velké množství krve. Věděl, že je jeho osud zpečetěn. Poprosil proto Malého Johna, aby mu pomohl natáhnout tětivu jeho luku, a tam, kam jeho poslední šíp dopadne, bude chtít být pohřben. Po vystřelení šípu vydechl naposledy. Jeho družina mu vystrojila nádherný pohřeb. Tam, kam dopadl jeho šíp, byl skutečně pochován, a na jeho mohylu byl položen kámen, na kterém dodnes stojí: ZDE ODPOČÍVÁ ROBIN HOOD. CHUDÝ SE PŘED NÍM KLANĚL, BOHÁČ SE HO BÁL.

Nottinghamský šerif po zbojnících dál nešel. Každý se vydal svou cestou.

Group One Ltd. Names Kyle McMahon Training and Support Associate
By AVNetwork Staff (AV Network) 2018-07-06T20:32:00Z Business
Group One Limited, the Long Island-based U.S. distributor for a number of top pro audio and lighting manufacturers, has named Kyle McMahon as its new training and support associate for DiGiCo, as well as the KLANG:technologies, XTA, and MC2 brands. Group One President Jack Kelly made the official announcement.
McMahon comes to the distributor directly from the touring sound reinforcement world, where he spent the past dozen years serving as monitor engineer and, eventually, FOH engineer for Chris Tomlin, one of the biggest names in Contemporary Christian music. He has also toured as a freelance engineer with Hillsong Worship, OneRepublic and numerous other artists, as well as managed audio for the annual Passion conference from 2007 to 2014. Prior to that, he worked as a Mid-America Sound concert sound tech and engineer for seven years.
Based in the Indianapolis area, McMahon is not only being tasked with on-site customer trainings following purchases, but continuing to expand and develop DiGiCo's Masters Series trainings as well. He is responsible for further developing the company's curriculum to reach every level of user — basic, intermediate, and advanced — and expanding the reach to more locations across the U.S., continuing Group One and DiGiCo's shared goal of providing the industry's highest levels of training.
"Kyle was really the dream candidate for this position," said Group One's Ryan Shelton, to whom McMahon directly reports. "We were ideally looking to find someone with real-world front-of-house and monitor experience, intimate technical familiarity with DiGiCo's products and other console brands and systems, and a committed touring veteran work ethic — and that perfectly describes him. Kyle has already been helping us with our DiGiCo Masters Series classes as a freelance training associate since last year, and he's 'a natural' at training as well as simply communicating complex technical concepts."
"With our continuing growth and commitment to training and support, we are happy to welcome Kyle to Group One," said president Jack Kelly. "His 20-plus years of experience, knowledge and proven work ethic all help him be a great asset to our team."
"Having personally relied on DiGiCo's SD-Range consoles for many years, I enjoy having the professional opportunity to help educate others on how to get the very best performance out of their desks," said McMahon. "The Group One team is well known for its exceptional customer follow-up across all of its brands, and I'm pleased to now be a part of that effort."

Castle Waiting, by Linda Medley, is a graphic novel of interwoven "nouveau fairy tales" with a supposedly feminist bent. I actually didn't feel they were nearly as feminist as made out to be- but as fairy tales are notoriously not feminist, I can see how these seem very different.
The story starts off with a Sleeping Beauty plot line. Beauty isn't too bright, and when she leaves the castle with her prince, with barely a look back at her friends, everyone is stunned. They decide to stay on in the castle and make it a home for those who feel disenfranchised from the rest of the world, including a pregnant woman fleeing an unkind husband, a bearded nun, a horse-headed grand champion and a man mourning the loss of his son.
I enjoyed this book. I loved the gentle humor present in every story arc. The characters are all so accepting and kind to each other. They ask no questions, assign no blame, and just spend time together keeping up the castle. My favorite thing about this book was that even though they inhabit the world of fairy tales, these characters do not play in that world. They deal with every day problems and situations, and are more concerned with making everyone feel accepted and loved than with going on quests or killing large beasts. Castle Waiting is about what people who inhabit the fairy world do in their downtime- upkeep the castle, deal with hobgoblins that play pranks, go into town to purchase goods, etc. And it was so fun to be with them for that.
What most stood out to me was the lesson of tolerance that Medley weaved through every story. Sadly, we rarely see a story finished completely here, but the glimpses we do get into lives are of people who are different and stick out, but end up feeling happy and satisfied with their lives, regardless. They use their pain and loneliness to accept faults in others and make them feel welcome. It's a good lesson to learn.
As alluded to above, I admit that what I disliked about this book was the lack of closure for any of the stories. We learn a lot about the bearded nuns, but we don't know much at all about some of the other castle inhabitants: Lady Jain and her baby, Rackham the steward, the cook and her son, or any of the others. The book ends, but the stories are left incomplete. Luckily, the stories aren't exactly "cliff-hangers." I want to know the resolutions, yes, but I'm not left feeling angry and bitter because the author left me at a very dramatic and climactic moment. Instead, it's more like I've just met someone who I'm certain will be one of my best friends, and I want to get to know her better and spend more time with her, but instead, she tells me that she's moving abroad and I won't see her again for an indeterminate period of time, and so our friendship is on hold. It's a sad feeling, but at least I know that I'll see these friends once more, in Volume II of the series.
The idea that this book focuses on characters during everyday downtime is for some reason fascinating to me. Although things don't tie up nicely in the end, I think I would really enjoy this series and am going to have to see if my library carries it. It sounds like something that I would really enjoy, and I am glad that you did too. I loved that you included illustrations in your post as well. Thanks, Aarti!
I really enjoyed reading this book a few years ago and I'm glad you did too. There is a second volume that's recently been published. I haven't read it yet.
You're killing me, Aarti! Always reminding me of some book or other I WANT to read or NEED to finish or desperately crave to check out of the library. This is one of the 'brary picks.
Interesting review, and a push to hurry up and pick it up.
Zibilee - I think you'd really like it, too! It's pretty light, enjoyable, happy reading.
Vasilly - Yes, I've heard about that one! I didn't see it in the library, or I'd have gotten that one, too.
Andi - That's my job ;-) I hope you find and enjoy it!
Wow this seems awesome. I mean, fairy tale graphic novel - that would have hooked me. That the focus is on the outskirts, on the day-to-day life... that sounds brilliant. I really like the drawing style and also the writing (smooth lines indeed!). I'm off to look into this one a little more.
Oh, I need to read more graphic novels. I guess I'll just add this one to THE LIST.
That is an original jumping off point for a retelling of the fairy tale classic - the castle. I love that title.
Less enthused over sketches of people within and the graphic novel format itself.

Michelle Keegan's show Brassic apologises as mother slams TV crew for digging fake plot near son's grave
A grieving mother-of-three has slammed Sky One comedy show Brassic, starring Michelle Keegan, for digging up a cemetery plot near her son's grave.
Tracy Goldie-Auxilly branded the TV crew a "disgrace" after a fake grave was dug up just six feet away from where her 39 year old son Gareth had been laid to rest two weeks before.
The grieving mum told how her autistic daughter Chloe, 31, tried to visit her brother on Thursday 14 October before being met with both cast and crew gathered closeby.
Gareth's plot was still decorated with memorial wreaths and flowers and Chloe was left feeling devastated and confused by the crew's presence nearby at Whitworth Cemetery.

Tracy explained that the crew could be heard swearing while Chloe tried to have a moment alone with her brother, who died suddenly on 11 September after experiencing a kind of seizure.
She said: "It's a disgrace, you're filming graveyards, a place where you lay people to rest.
"At the end of the day it's not a playground, the crew could have used a farmer's field with some props, Brassic isn't a serious topic they could have filmed somewhere else.
"I want the council to go away delve into their conscience, what they have done has devastated my family. When the film crew got there it was obvious there was a freshly buried body."
Referring to her daughter Chloe's state during the incident, she went on: "She was so confused. Initially she thought she had wandered into a funeral. She was just devastated, they were still filming when she was at his grave.
"They were swearing and shouting, Chloe couldn't get her head around it. Some of the language they were using really wasn't nice. When she found out the grave they had dug wasn't real it upset her even more. This has taken my family so far back," she added to LancsLive.
Where are the stars of Love Island 2015 now including Jon Clark and Hannah Elizabeth?
A Rossendale Council spokesperson told the publication: "The council do take every precaution to ensure a considerable distance between filming and any existing graves, and we did not intend to cause any upset."
While Sky has apologised for their behaviour and actions as a spokesperson said: "We're very sorry for any distress we caused when filming scenes on location at Rossendale.
"While our production team had received permission to film scenes on location, we understand the impact this had on the family member and we would like to offer them our deepest sympathy and condolences.

"While filming was taking place the production was conscious someone was visiting and out of respect, a crew member reached out in person, to offer apologies for any disruption caused.
"The series is post-watershed and plays out after 10pm. As a result, it contains adult language and we offer apologies for any sensitivities cause by this being overheard during filming."

Guatemala faces Arab, Muslim boycott after Jerusalem announcement: PLO
Guatemala faces Arab, Muslim boycott after Jerusalem announcement: PLO /node/1215301/middle-east

Updated 28 December 2017
AMMAN: Guatemala could soon face a cardamom boycott from Arab and Muslim countries, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) said Wednesday.
The boycott threat follows Guatemala's announcement on Monday that it will follow the US in moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
According to the PLO, Guatemala exports annually $300 million worth of cardamom to Arab and Muslim-majority countries. Cardamom is a major ingredient in Arabic dishes and coffee.
"We'll be conducting an overall assessment of all our alliances, and will evaluate our relations based on mutual interests, with a clear eye as to who is genuinely supporting the cause of peace in Palestine and who is against our national interests," Anees Sweidan, head of external relations at the PLO, told Arab News.
Former Guatemalan Vice President Edward Stein has warned of the negative repercussions of a boycott on some 45,000 cardamom farmers in his country.
The Guatemala Export Association sent a letter to the Foreign Ministry calling on the president to rescind his Jerusalem decision, the PLO said.
A deputy Israeli minister on Monday said his country is in touch with at least 10 others over the possible transfer of their embassies to Jerusalem after the US recognized the city as Israel's capital. He did not name the countries.
The PLO has urged the Arab League to initiate an economic boycott against every country that moves its embassy to Jerusalem. Such a boycott forced Guatemala to reverse a similar decision in the 1990s.
The Palestinian government on Wednesday praised the 129 countries that voted against America's Jerusalem announcement at the UN General Assembly and urged countries that voted in favor to review their positions.
The government praised South Africa for its decision to downgrade its diplomatic mission in Tel Aviv, and said Guatemala's announcement "is contrary to international law and the decisions of the international community," and puts the country "on the wrong side of history and international law."
The Arab League on Wednesday said a meeting of Arab foreign ministers will take place in Amman, Jordan, on Jan. 6.

Paperino al campeggio (Donald's Vacation) è un film del 1940 diretto da Jack King. È un cortometraggio animato della serie Donald Duck, prodotto dalla Walt Disney Productions e uscito negli Stati Uniti il 9 agosto 1940, distribuito dalla RKO Radio Pictures. A partire dagli anni novanta è più noto come Le vacanze di Paperino.

Trama
Paperino è in kayak su un fiume e canta accompagnandosi con una chitarra. Dopo essere precipitato da una cascata, si dirige in un bosco sulla terraferma. Giunto in una radura, vi si accampa e, una volta scaricati i viveri dal kayak, trasforma la barca in una tenda. Cerca poi di aprire la sua sedia pieghevole, ma finisce con rimanere incastrato dentro; dopo essersi liberato, si mette a saltare e a starnazzare stizzito sulla sedia, che casualmente si apre. Mentre Paperino dorme sulla sedia, degli scoiattoli rubano il cibo al papero, che non si accorge di nulla, finché alcuni di loro, trasportando un ananas, finiscono per svegliare Paperino con il ciuffo del frutto. Paperino rimane ancora una volta bloccato nella sua sedia e, liberatosi a fatica, trova gli scoiattoli ancora sui viveri; decide di schiantarvisi contro a tutta velocità, ma gli scoiattoli scappano via e il papero si trova faccia a faccia con un orso, che ruggisce e comincia ad inseguirlo. Così Paperino è costretto a smontare la sua tenda e ad allontanarsi in tutta fretta.

In interaquifer exchange, two aquifers are hydraulically connected. Contamination occurs when contaminants are transferred from a contaminated aquifer to a clean aquifer. Interaquifer exchange is common when a deep well penetrates more than one aquifer to provide increased yield or when an improperly cased or abandoned well serves as a direct connection between two aquifers of different potential heads and different water quality. The hydraulic connection (well or fractures) can allow contaminants from aquifers with the greatest hydraulic head to move to aquifers of less hydraulic head (Deutsch 1961).

EVENITY® (romosozumab) Receives Positive CHMP Opinion for the Treatment of Severe Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women at High Risk of Fracture
Brussels, Belgium and Thousand Oaks, Calif. (October 18, 2019 - 07:00) – UCB (Euronext Brussels: UCB) and Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced that following a re-examination procedure, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), has adopted a positive opinion recommending Marketing Authorization for EVENITY® (romosozumab) for the treatment of severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture and with no history of myocardial infarction or stroke. Romosozumab is a novel bone-builder with a dual effect that increases bone formation and, to a lesser extent, reduces bone resorption (or bone loss).
"Post-menopausal osteoporosis and fragility fractures are a significant women's health issue that's far too often overlooked, with evidence showing that an estimated 77 percent of women aged 67 or older remain undiagnosed and untreated following a fracture1. This is why new treatment options are so important," said Dr. Pascale Richetta, head of bone and executive vice president, UCB. "We believe that the Committee's positive opinion is an important step forward to help improve the lives of post-menopausal women with severe osteoporosis who are at high risk of fragility fractures."
The CHMP's recommendation will now be reviewed by the European Commission (EC), which has the authority to approve medicines for use throughout the European Union. A European Commission decision is expected by year-end 2019.
"After a fracture, postmenopausal women with osteoporosis are five times more likely to fracture in the subsequent year,2 and these fractures can be life-changing," said David M. Reese, M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "We are pleased by the Committee's opinion, which brings romosozumab one step closer to becoming a new osteoporosis treatment option for patients with severe osteoporosis at high risk of fracture in Europe."
Romosozumab is approved in U.S, for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture.3 Romosozumab is also approved in Japan and South Korea for the treatment of osteoporosis for women and men at high risk for fracture, in Canada for the treatment of osteoporosis for postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture and in Australia for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture and as a treatment to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis at high risk of fracture.4-7

About EVENITY® (romosozumab)
Romosozumab is a bone-forming monoclonal antibody. It is designed to work by inhibiting the activity of sclerostin, which simultaneously results in increased bone formation and to a lesser extent decreased bone resorption. The romosozumab development program includes 19 clinical studies that enrolled approximately 14,000 patients. EVENITY has been studied for its potential to reduce the risk of fractures in an extensive global Phase 3 program that included two large fracture trials comparing romosozumab to either placebo or active comparator in over 11,000 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Amgen and UCB are co-developing romosozumab.
About the Amgen and UCB Collaboration
Since 2004, Amgen and UCB have been working together under a collaboration and license agreement to research, develop and market antibody products targeting the protein sclerostin. As part of this agreement, the two companies continue to collaborate on the development of romosozumab for the treatment of osteoporosis. This gene-to-drug project demonstrates how Amgen and UCB are joining forces to translate a genetic discovery into a new medicine, turning conceptual science into a reality.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those Amgen projects. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for Amgen to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and Amgen expects similar variability in the future. Even when clinical trials are successful, regulatory authorities may question the sufficiency for approval of the trial endpoints Amgen has selected. Amgen develops product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as Amgen may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, Amgen or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with its products, including its devices, after they are on the market.
Amgen's results may be affected by its ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing its products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of Amgen's products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, Amgen's research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. Amgen's business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, Amgen's business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. While Amgen routinely obtains patents for its products and technology, the protection offered by its patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by its competitors, or Amgen may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. Amgen performs a substantial amount of its commercial manufacturing activities at a few key manufacturing facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depends on third parties for a portion of its manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of its current products and product candidate development. In addition, Amgen competes with other companies with respect to many of its marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for Amgen's products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of Amgen's distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with Amgen. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of Amgen's products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on its business and results of operations. Amgen's efforts to acquire other companies or products and to integrate the operations of companies Amgen has acquired may not be successful. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Amgen's systems and Amgen's data.

NCAA Student-Athlete Name, Image and Likeness
Law Firm Raising Awareness for Proposed Bill Threatening the Rights of NCAA College-Athletes
Jun 01, 2021 | View Case Page
Attorneys fighting for college-athletes' rights say that bill proposed by Sen. Wicker to Sen. Cantwell has grave impacts
WASHINGTON, DC – A law firm with a long track record of supporting and sustaining the rights of college-athletes says a recently proposed bill brought by Sen. Roger Wicker to Sen. Maria Cantwell has the potential to rob hundreds of thousands of college-athletes of their just rights to compensation for their name, image and likeness, according to Hagens Berman.
The firm is urging college-athletes to educate themselves about the bill, their rights and how to contact members of Congress.
Hagens Berman has represented classes of college students before, achieving a $208 million settlement against the NCAA concerning antitrust-related student scholarship limits, a combined $60 million settlement against Electronic Arts and the NCAA regarding player likeness rights in videogames, and an additional settlement valued at $75 million regarding concussions and safety protocols and a trial victory overturning NCAA rules limiting education based compensation. The firm's sports litigation legal team also includes former NCAA athletes.
"The college sports industry has been immensely profitable for every party involved except the players themselves – the very ones who make the business of college sports possible and fill seats and build cult followings of fans," said Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman and attorney representing college-athletes against the NCAA. "At best, this bill is a misguided and over-restrictive measure to oversee an entire industry. At worst, it is designed to steamroll the rights of college-athletes to receiving even a portion of the multibillion-dollar deals based on their names, images and likenesses."
Senator Selling Out Students
Attorneys say that the bill proposed by Sen. Wicker to Sen. Cantwell stands to totally wipe out legal efforts to protect college-athletes' rights to their name, image and likeness – which have served as money-making potential for the NCAA, its members and conferences for decades.
"Wicker's proposed bill would essentially give the NCAA a get-out-of-jail-free card," Berman said. "It would continue allowing the NCAA to get away with having unlawfully prevented athletes from receiving compensation for the use of their name, image and likenesses.
The issue is currently the subject of an antitrust class-action lawsuit alleging that the NCAA and other defendants violated federal antitrust laws in abiding by a particular subset of NCAA amateurism rules that prohibit college-athletes from receiving anything of value in exchange for the commercial use of their name and likeness.
Sedona Prince, who currently competes for the University of Oregon women's basketball team said, "I just think it's outrageous that the NCAA continues to treat us like children and take away our rights in the name of somehow 'protecting us.' College athletes are adults, and we are more than capable of taking personal responsibility and making decisions for ourselves, but under this proposal we would continue to be unfairly restricted like no other student on campus is. It's just really frustrating."
Attorneys say college athletes are long overdue for their fair share of the massively lucrative college sports industry.
More than 100 coaches at Division I schools earn over $1 million per year, with the top 25 football coaches earning an average of $5.2 million annually and the top 25 basketball coaches earning an average of $3.2 million annually. The median salary for an athletic director at a Division I institution is now over $500,000 a year, and college-athletes remain powerless to realize the commercial value of their own names and likenesses. In the 2017-18 academic year, sponsorship spending on college athletic departments, conferences, bowl games, and related properties totaled $1.24 billion. In 2015, USC's athletics department's social media activity was reportedly generating revenue for Fox Sports (the school's rights holder) near the mid-six-figures amount annually, according to the lawsuit.
Find out more about the proposed bill, and what you can do to protect the rights of college-athletes.

Review: Ports Cafe has wide appeal in Geneva
Tracy Schuhmacher
@RahChaChow
If you're visiting Seneca Lake and you've got a group of diners that has a range of different preferences, chances are you'll find something for everyone at Ports Café.
The restaurant on the west side of the lake has been doing business under the same owners since 2001, and it clearly has attracted a following. It expanded last year, adding a modern bar, new restrooms and an outdoor patio.
We opted to sit on the patio, which offers a view of the lake, albeit one obstructed by the parking lot and a busy road.
Geneva emerging as food and drink destination
When our server greeted us, she read us the long list of specials — all seven appetizers, two salads and nine entrées — and then left us with the list of choices. We would have preferred to peruse the list without the recitation, but the service otherwise was friendly and attentive, with the meal proceeding at a nice pace.
We started our meal with glasses of a Finger Lakes Riesling ($8), and shared a half-pound serving of South Baltimore shrimp boil ($14) from the "friends and family" section of the menu. Perfectly cooked shell-on shrimp were served heavily dusted with a spice blend akin to Old Bay. We peeled and dipped the tender shrimp in a lemony garlic butter, licking our fingers in the process. It was fun, tasty and messy; we made good use of the thoughtfully provided wet napkin packets.
The entrées on the regular menu range from fajitas to tandoori chicken to ravioli to a Thai peanut dish. The special entrées, consisting of meat and fish preparations, seemed to have more focus. We stuck to the regular menu and chose dishes from different ends of the spectrum-
I opted for house-made ricotta gnocchi ($20), nestled in a long-simmered sauce of tomatoes, red wine and short rib. The gnocchi were pillowy, the beef fork-tender and the sauce deeply flavorful. It was served with a piece of grilled foccacia, which I used to mop up every drop. It was the kind of dish I'd crave on a wintry day.
My companion, a barbecue buff, opted for a half-rack of the house-smoked Carolina spare ribs ($16). The meaty ribs were lightly smoked, cooked to tender but not mushy and shined with sauce. I don't think local barbecue joints need to start shaking in their boots, but the ribs were more than acceptable and better than expected. The sides — crisp buttermilk slaw, honey cornbread and sweet potato fries — satisfied.
Where to eat and drink in Geneva
Desserts, expertly prepared by the restaurant's pastry chef, ended the evening on a high note.
A peach-blueberry tartlet ($9) from the specials menu was comforting and delicious. A single-serving crust held peaches and blueberries and was crowned with a crumble topping. Fresh blueberry garnishes added a pop of freshness. A dollop of whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream were classic accompaniments. I've had a hankering for that dessert since our visit.
The Ports Coffee Ole ($8) initially appeared to be scoops of coffee ice cream that had started melting. Appearances, in this case, were deceiving. The ice cream was, in fact, bathing in a pool of O'Mara's Irish Cream, which complemented the flavor of the ice cream beautifully. It reminded me of a favorite winter beverage, coffee with Irish cream. The dish was drizzled with chocolate chocolate sauce and topped with a rosette of whipped cream. I will surely adapt this simple-but-scrumptious idea for home entertaining.
Given that its website notes that the restaurant sources ingredients locally, we found it odd that desserts were served with Ben & Jerry's ice cream rather than something made closer to home, especially with a thriving dairy industry nearby. In terms of flavors, though, the desserts were beyond reproach.
We visited at 5:30 on a Friday evening because our time choices were limited when we made our reservation a couple days ahead of time. As we left, we noticed that the bar and indoor tables were packed. If you go, particularly on a popular weekend time, you are well advised to plan ahead and make a reservation.

Q: Why is using a generator function slower than filling and iterating an array in this example? A Tale of Two Functions
I have one function that fills an array up to a specified value:
function getNumberArray(maxValue) {
    const a = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < maxValue; i++) {
        a.push(i);
    }

    return a;
}

And a similar generator function that instead yields each value:
function* getNumberGenerator(maxValue) {
    for (let i = 0; i < maxValue; i++) {
        yield i;
    }
}

Test Runner
I've written this test for both these scenarios:
function runTest(testName, numIterations, funcToTest) {
    console.log(`Running ${testName}...`);
    let dummyCalculation;
    const startTime = Date.now();
    const initialMemory = process.memoryUsage();
    const iterator = funcToTest(numIterations);

    for (let val of iterator) {
        dummyCalculation = numIterations - val;
    }

    const finalMemory = process.memoryUsage();

    // note: formatNumbers can be found here: https://jsfiddle.net/onz1ozjq/
    console.log(formatNumbers `Total time: ${Date.now() - startTime}ms`);
    console.log(formatNumbers `Rss:        ${finalMemory.rss - initialMemory.rss}`);
    console.log(formatNumbers `Heap Total: ${finalMemory.heapTotal - initialMemory.heapTotal}`);
    console.log(formatNumbers `Heap Used:  ${finalMemory.heapUsed - initialMemory.heapUsed}`);
}

Running the Tests
Then when running these two like so:
const numIterations = 999999; // 999,999
console.log(formatNumbers `Running tests with ${numIterations} iterations...\n`);
runTest("Array test", numIterations, getNumberArray);
console.log("");
runTest("Generator test", numIterations, getNumberGenerator);

I get results similar to this:
Running tests with 999,999 iterations...

Running Array test...
Total time: 105ms
Rss:        31,645,696
Heap Total: 31,386,624
Heap Used:  27,774,632

Running Function generator test...
Total time: 160ms
Rss:        2,818,048
Heap Total: 0
Heap Used:  1,836,616

Note: I am running these tests on node v4.1.1 on Windows 8.1. I am not using a transpiler and I'm running it by doing node --harmony generator-test.js.
Question
The increased memory usage with an array is obviously expected... but why am I consistently getting faster results for an array? What's causing the slowdown here? Is doing a yield just an expensive operation? Or maybe there's something up with the method I'm doing to check this?

A: The terribly unsatisfying answer is probably this: Your ES5 function relies on features that (with the exceptions of let and const) have been in V8 since it was released in 2008 (and presumably for some time before, as I understand that what became V8 originated as part of Google's web crawler). Generators, on the other hand, have only been in V8 since 2013. So not only has the ES5 code had seven years to be optimized while the ES6 code has had only two, almost nobody (compared to the many millions of sites using code just like your ES5 code) is using generators in V8 yet, which means there has been very little opportunity to discover, or incentive to implement, optimizations for it.
If you really want a technical answer as to why generators are comparatively slow in Node.js, you'll probably have to dive into the V8 source yourself, or ask the people who wrote it.

A: In the OP's example, the generator will always be slower
While JS engine authors will continue working to improve performance, there are some underlying structural realities that virtually guarantee that, for the OP's test case, building the array will always be faster than using an iterator.
Consider that a generator function returns a generator object.
A generator object will, by definition, have a next() function, and calling a function in Javascript means adding an entry to your call stack. While this is fast, it's likely never going to be as fast as direct property access. (At least, not until the singularity.)
So if you are going to iterate over every single element in a collection, then a for loop over a simple array, which accesses elements via direct property access, is always going to be faster than a for loop over an iterator, which accesses each element via a call to the next() function.
As I'm writing this in January of 2022, running Chrome 97, the generator function is 60% slower than the array function using the OP's example.
Performance is use-case-dependent
It's not difficult to imagine scenarios where the generator would be faster. The major downside to the array function is that it must build the entire collection before the code can start iterating over the elements, whether or not you need all the elements.
Consider a basic search operation which will only access, on average, half the elements of the collection. In this scenario, the array function exposes its "Achilles' heel": it must build an array with all the results, even though half will never be seen. This is where a generator has the potential to far outstrip the array function.
To demonstrate this, I slightly modified the OP's use-case. I made the elements of the array slightly more expensive to calculate (with a little division and square root logic) and modified the loop to terminate at about the halfway mark (to mimic a basic search).
Setup
function getNumberArray(maxValue) {
    const a = [];

    for (let i = 0; i < maxValue; i++) {
        const half = i / 2;
        const double = half * 2;
        const root = Math.sqrt(double);
        const square = Math.round(root * root);
        a.push(square);
    }

    return a;
}

function* getNumberGenerator(maxValue) {
    for (let i = 0; i < maxValue; i++) {
        const half = i / 2;
        const double = half * 2;
        const root = Math.sqrt(double);
        const square = Math.round(root * root);
        yield square;
    }
}
let dummyCalculation;
const numIterations = 99999;
const searchNumber = numIterations / 2;

Generator
const iterator = getNumberGenerator(numIterations);
for (let val of iterator) {
    dummyCalculation = numIterations - val;
    if (val > searchNumber) break;
}

Array
const iterator = getNumberArray(numIterations);
for (let val of iterator) {
    dummyCalculation = numIterations - val;
    if (val > searchNumber) break;
}

With this code, the two approaches are neck-and-neck. After repeated test runs, the generator and array functions trade first and second place. It's not difficult to imagine that if the elements of the array were even more expensive to calculate (for example, cloning a complex object, making a REST callout, etc), then the generator would win easily.
Considerations beyond performance
While recognizing that the OP's question is specifically about performance, I think it's worth calling out that generator functions were not primarily developed as a faster alternative to looping over arrays.
Memory efficiency
The OP has already acknowledged this, but memory efficiency is one of the main benefits that generators provide over building arrays. Generators can build objects on the fly and then discard them when they are no longer needed. In its most ideal implementation, a generator need only hold one object in memory at a time, while an array must hold all of them simultaneously.
For a very memory-intensive collection, a generator would allow the system to build objects as they are needed and then reclaim that memory when the calling code moves on to the next element.
Representation of non-static collections
Generators don't have to resolve the entire collection, which free them up to represent collections that might not exist entirely in memory.
For example, a generator can represent collections where the logic to fetch the "next" item is time-consuming (such as paging over the results of a database query, where items are fetched in batches) or state-dependent (such as iterating over a collection where operations on the current item affect which item is "next") or even infinite series (such as a fractal function, random number generator or a generator returning all the digits of π). These are scenarios where building an array would be either impractical or impossible.
One could imagine a generator that returns procedurally generated level data for a game based on a seed number, or even to represent a theoretical AI's "stream of consciousness" (for example, playing a word association game). These are interesting scenarios that would not be possible to represent using a standard array or list, but where a loop structure might feel more natural in code.

A: FYI this question is ancient in internet terms and generators have caught up (at least when tested in Chrome) https://jsperf.com/generator-vs-loops1

A: Try replacing the 'let' in the generator function with a function scoped 'var'. It seems that the 'let' inside the loop incurs a lot of overhead. Only use let if you absolutely have to.

A: In fact, running this benchmark now, generators at ~2x faster.
I've modified the code slightly (moved let i) and here is the full gist: https://gist.github.com/antonkatz/6b0911c85ddadae39c434bf8ac32b340
On my machine, these are the results:
Running Array...
Total time: 4,022ms
Rss:        2,728,939,520
Heap Total: 2,726,199,296

Running Generator...

I was very curious myself and could not find a proper answer. Thanks @David for providing the test code.

'Tyrannosaurus Pecs', as we dubbed it, was a triumphant stunt by Now TV used to promote the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park. The sexed-up mannequin appeared last July in Potters Field Park — a well-worn patch of grass that's been occupied by everything from a Stonehenge made of cars, to a Bluth's banana stand.
The internet went berserk, as fans flocked to get selfies with their hirsute-torsoed hero. But the behemoth is long gone (presumably melted down to make a 25ft Forrest Gump).
That is, unless you seek it on Google Maps. Here, Goldblum has become a permanent fixture: a London landmark, dwarfing Tower Bridge into a mere photobomb behind it. A multi-story deity swarmed by adoring disciples and newly-wed Asian couples, who sit at it its feet, basking in its slick gloriousness.
Goldblum sightings are an occasional phenomenon in the city. In September 2018, the star treated fans to an impromptu set of his jazz numbers on one of the pianos at St Pancras station. His shirt, alas, remained buttoned throughout.
Do let us know if you see Jeff Goldblum walking among us.

Sarah Bernhardt Peony flowers
Hardiness Zone: 2a
Sarah Bernhardt Peony features bold fragrant shell pink flowers at the ends of the stems from late spring to early summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its compound leaves remain green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Sarah Bernhardt Peony is an herbaceous perennial with a more or less rounded form. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;
Sarah Bernhardt Peony is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Sarah Bernhardt Peony will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 30 inches apart. The flower stalks can be weak and so it may require staking in exposed sites or excessively rich soils.
