If You Build It, They Will Still Leave
After months of wrangling, City Council and the Street Administration have finally agreed on a blueprint to put deals in place for taxpayer-funded stadiums for the Phillies and Eagles. While they claim that taxpayers' hard-earned dollars are needed for these projects for prestige and economic development, these assertions are either horribly naïve or dangerously duplicitous.
On one point, everyone involved in the stadium debates agree: Philadelphia has problems and needs to attract more residents. Census Bureau figures show that Philadelphia lost 11 percent of its population in the 1990s – and other data show that the majority of those who are departing are between the ages of 25 and 39. In other words, families in the prime of their lives who have (or are about to have) children are putting Philly in the rear-view mirror. And they're not leaving because Veterans Stadium needs a facelift.
People leave because they want a better quality of life for themselves and their children. When the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (PICA) studied why people leave, it found that a central reason is the poor quality of Philadelphia's public schools, combined with high taxes, expensive public services and the threat of violent crime. It's not hard to empathize with young families who make a move to the suburbs.
That's why the joint efforts of the city and state governments to turn a firehose full of taxpayer cash into new stadiums is so wrong-headed. For all of Philadelphia's problems, a lack of cultural, sports and other recreational opportunities is not among them, and this bounty provides insufficient incentive for families to live in the city. An overwhelming body of research exists demonstrating that stadiums, regardless of where they are located, have a very limited impact on their communities or the families who live in them.
In contrast, taxpayer-funded stadiums do serve mainly to enrich team owners and players through "sweetheart" leases that guarantee them virtually all of the income a stadium generates. Plus, the tax dollars that are pumped into new stadiums can't be used for other services that have a direct benefit to residents, or, even better, can't be returned to private citizens, through tax cuts, to invest and produce greater returns.
Many boosters of a center city home for the Phillies often cite Baltimore as a shining example of how new facilities can revitalize downtown areas. But the economic facts paint an entirely different picture. Despite the addition of two new taxpayer-funded stadiums to its popular Inner Harbor tourist destination, Baltimore has lost 250,000 residents since 1960, putting the population at its lowest level since 1915. And the city continues to lose population at the rate of 1,000 residents per month.
Jobs are a problem, too. According to an April 1998 report by Greater Philadelphia First and the Pennsylvania Economy League, between 1991 and 1996, Baltimore ranked 44th among the country's top 50 metro regions in employment growth – one spot below Philadelphia.
All this is not to say that the Phillies and the Eagles don't need new stadiums. As private businesses, professional sports teams are the primary authority for what capital investments they should make to succeed. But private businesses they are, and, as such, shouldn't have their hands out to working families in order to subsidize their corporate decisions. Some teams have kept this in mind.
In San Francisco – not exactly a bastion of the capitalist right wing – the Giants will soon move into the first privately funded, Major League, baseball-only stadium built since the 1960s. The $262 million Pacific Bell Park was funded through the sale of facility naming rights, permanent seat licenses, advertising and concessions rights, and bank loans. In the NFL, the Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins all play in privately financed stadiums.
The mission for Philadelphia's leaders is to grow the city's economy and make it not only an attractive destination for tourists, but a magnet for families to move in and put down roots. Accomplishing that goal means tackling the tough task of fixing the real problems that are causing residents to leave and making the suburbs wrestle with growing pains. It's far easier to throw cash at wealthy team owners than to create quality public schools, safe streets, affordable taxes and efficient public services. But unless city leaders achieve these essential priorities, shiny new stadiums will not stand in Philadelphia's path of further decline.

Have you heard of the code of Hammurabi? It was a code which the ancients followed. It was basically 'an eye for an eye and a toth for a tooth'. Basically, if you knock out someone's tooth, they get to knock out yours. But Christians follow a different law. Christians follow the law of justice, love, and mercy. If someone hurts you you are to forgive them and go the extra mile. If someone punches you on the left cheek, do not fight back. As Christians, we are sacrifices to the world. We do not fight back. We are the lowest of the low to others. We are told that the greatest in the kingdom are the greatest servants. Jesus was our prime example. He came not to be served, but to serve.
Jesus was arrested by a kiss. A disciple cut off an arresting party's ear. Jesus healed the ear. Jesus went through much misery on the cross. He did not fight back. When you are in an adverse condition, you should pray and not fight back. The Lord will deliver you. The Lord took Jesus' spirit to heaven.
Go the extra mile, you will be rewarded.
God knows your heart even if you could not win the person over.
Be there for the person.


I've used their calculator and it's seems accurate. I've mashed about that much grain in my 10g cooler too.
this is always a good idea. Or corn sugar depending on the type of beer.
Also ive mashed that much in my 10g cooler before. The other option would be to mash twice and boil once.
and remember to brew a small beer a couple weeks before the big beer so you have enough yeast!
ahh daddy duty, know it well.
I gave up on refractometers. Now I use a Pyrex measuring cup to pull 8 oz. of wort from the kettle. I put it in an old metal cocktail shaker and swirl it in a bowl of ice water. In less than 60 seconds it goes from boiling to 60F and I can get a reading.
I'm gonna try that. I wanna buy a refractometer but I am on a real tight budget.
They're around $25 on eBay including shipping from China.
I wouldn't brew without one. I just use a small syringe to pull ~0.5 mL of wort and by the time I walk over to the refractometer it's cooled enough to get a reading.

Agradeceria cualquier sugerencia o libreria para pasarlo a un modelo. y de ahi a mi vista, ya que no he logrado pasarlo como si fuera un Json normal, ya que con IEnumerable ni como List lo reconoce, y produce una excepción.

Saludos y gracias comunidad.

A: Ciertamente tienes un problema con los array

*

*Cuando son llaves {} -> Es objeto (clase)

*Cuando son corchetes []-> Es array o list

*Cuando un campo es entre comillas "" -> Es string, date o datetime

*Cuando es false o true (sin comillas) -> es bool

*Cuando es 1.2, 3.14, 43.666 -> Es decima no int

The market square roars with activity as Bart Leget, a 54-year-old Dutch police officer, strides from stall to stall.
He is all smiles, grasping the hands of passersby and shaking them vigorously. Elderly men pause on their mobility scooters to exchange warm words and light banter.
On his belt, the stocky, bearded policeman wears a 9mm pistol, handcuffs and a can of pepper spray.
"We tell them, here is our hand, we can help you. And if they don't want the hand, they get the fist," he says.
Officer Leget is on patrol in Schilderswijk, a suburb in the Hague which the Dutch police force says is a hotbed for homegrown Islamic extremism.

It seems like the rain keeps following us everywhere we go. Every new town that we get, immediately starts raining. But bad weather can't bring us down in this trip specially yesterday Thursday 26, Gavin's birthday. He was lucky enough to celebrate his birthday in New Zealand, enjoying almost all the activities he likes, and not being inside his office.
We started the day getting up early for Gavin's first fly instruction. I was brave/lucky enough to be part of it and joined him for his first flight. We had a great time overlooking the entire Wanaka valley, including a rare island that has a lake in the middle (Mou Waku) and the glaciers. Later we rented electric bikes to ride around the lake. If you have never tried an electric bike, let me tell you how wonderful it was my own experience. For a pregnant girl like me, it was so easy to go around the city, since you can adjust the amount of power you want the bike to have. So for some steep hills, I mostly pedaled softly and the bike did the rest. We even had time to rest near the river and ate savory puff pastry pies. We finished the birthday celebration at the movie theatre (watched Bridge of Spies) and an Italian meal for dinner. Overall the day was perfect, and we were lucky to avoid the rain the entire day.
Today morning, we packed everything and hit the road to our next destination. We arrived in Dunedin, a city where the first Scottish settlers arrived back in 1770. Of course it was raining all day, so we decided to have a quiet lunch, and explore old buildings around city centre.
Since yesterday we didn't have birthday cake, we found a cute danish bakery that sold a delicious chocolate cake and candles, and finally I could sing the birthday song to Gavin.
Tomorrow we have our fingers crossed for a sunny day or a 'not so rainy day' so we can be able to explore local museums, farmers' market, botanic gardens, and the best part of the day visit the Cadbury factory.
I can't believe we are half way into our trip, and in a week we are going back to KL. Time really flies when you are having fun as the popular saying goes.
By the way, happy thanksgiving to all of you celebrating it today. There are so many things to be grateful this year. For me, it would be my family, and having Gavin next to me to start our new family.
What a beautiful country...... looks a lot like BC. I wish we could have been there with the two of you celebrating Gavin's birthday.
It is a beautiful country indeed. We wished you guys could have been here celebrating his birthday!

Q: Match two consecutive lines using Regex and Bash features only What Regular Expression(s) can you use to match two consecutive lines?
The aim is not to use any packages like awk or sed but only use pure RegExp inside a shell script.
Example, I would like to ensure the word "hello" is immediately followed by "world" in the next line.
Acceptance criteria:

*

*"hello" is not to have any spaces before it

*"world" must have at least 1 or more space before it.

#/bin/bash

file=./myfile.txt

regex='^hello'

[[ `cat $file` =~ $regexp ]] && echo "yes" || echo "no"

myfile.txt
abc is def
hello
 world
cde is efg

A: Here is pure bash way:
file='./myfile.txt'
[[ $(<$file) =~ hello$'\n'[[:blank:]]*world ]] && echo "yes" || echo "no"

yes

Here $'\n' matches a new line and [[:blank:]]* matches 0+ tabs or spaces.
If you want to be more precise then use:
[[ $(<file) =~ (^|$'\n')hello$'\n'[[:blank:]]*world($'\n'|$) ]] && echo "yes" || echo "no"

However grep or awk are much better tools for this job.

About DETI
What DETI will deliver
DETI programme
How can Augmented Reality improve our manufacturing processes?
What is Augmented Reality?
The aspiration of Industry 4.0 is to fuse cutting edge technologies to achieve a symbiosis between physical, digital and biological spheres. One of the practical means to achieve this from a human centric perspective, is the use of virtual visualisation of information. This takes the form of several comparable technologies under the umbrella term Extended Reality (XR). XR comprises Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR).
AR is a technology which superimposes images over real-world subjects, augmenting the view to the user with additional information. It is most commonly exploited in smartphone applications for games, language translation, navigation and mapping.
In all cases, the user's phone is directed at a subject, where the phone's camera system captures the surface to calculate the orientation and shape of the profile. It then projects information which aligns with that surface. In the case of a smartphone, this projection is seen virtually, through the screen. However, more bespoke systems can project directly onto a surface, so that the experience moves from single-user to multi-user.
How can AR be used in manufacturing?
In terms of manufacturing and production, AR has been utilised to provide overlays to the user to show various information, for example, the flow directions and temperature through pipes, safe zones for operation in a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) environment or with robotic arms.
One of the main reported benefits of AR over VR is that the information relates directly to the physical view of the user rather than a purely virtual environment. By recognising key objects in the field of view, and overlaying the physical and virtual environments, a user is able to understand better how the information relates precisely to the object in question. When operating correctly AR is perhaps even more immersive than VR.
One drawback of this is that reliable object detection systems need to be employed to detect and map important objects in the physical world through cameras to the virtual display that is shown to the user. This is a non-trivial task but is key to the work currently being delivered by UWE research teams as part of the Digital Engineering Technology & Innovation (DETI) initiative.
What are we currently researching?
UWE research teams are helping to deliver a proof-of-concept system that guides a user through a specific process using Augmented Reality. This represents a forward step in the use of state-of-the-art technology in manufacturing, that will provide contextually aware information to the user in real time.
This feedback to the user will show how correctly they are following a procedure, meaning that not only will an augmented view be projected onto the physical scene, but also that this view will change as the user interacts with it.
Two case studies have been selected to demonstrate this new use of AR systems within manufacturing processes; the vacuum bagging of a composite part, and agricultural fruit picking.
An example set up for a vacuum bagging procedure with projected image and AR overlay. The projected area provides feedback and input for the user to help guide them through the various stages of the procedure.
The vacuum bagging demonstration will guide users with the detection of parts, damage and foreign objects, and will feedback to the user the desired position, quantity and form of the various components. The fruit picking demonstration will use existing fruit-detection machine vision algorithms to project desired fruit locations to the fruit picker.
Some example projections that a user would be presented with to ensure components are in the correct place and work features meet specification.
To ensure the results from these case studies are relevant to our current workforce, the UWE project team have been working with local composite vacuum bagging operators to determine a priority list of processes which will most benefit from this AR guidance system.
They have also developed software to upload these priority processes to the system in a way that ensures common methodologies are used, supporting the system to be utilised in future developments beyond vacuum bagging.
The next steps for this project are to integrate trained machine learning models which can detect the tools used for each vacuum bagging process, and to install the entire system into a fixed training bench for user testing.
The team will then use their learnings from the vacuum bagging case study to transfer the AR guidance system to the automated fruit picking scenario, where AR goggles will allow for a wearable AR guided system for fruit pickers in the field.

But then aren't we just extrapolating?
Can you actually imagine a being that is more moral than yourself – one that believes that something you consider right and just is actually morally wrong?
So why are people so nice?
How do we explain this without postulating some kind of shadowing figure dictating evolution?
So, given that, can we say anything in a counterfactual? Even things that are beyond physical causation?

A woman flying from Chicago to San Francisco died while in transit this weekend, after her "medical emergency" forced the plane to make an unplanned stop in Montana.
According to the Billings Gazette, the United Airlines 737 left Chicago at 7 p.m. Saturday night, and was headed to San Francisco International Airport.
At 9:30 p.m., as the plane passed over South Dakota, air traffic controllers at Montana's Billings Logan International Airport were notified that the plane would be landing there due to a passenger's medical emergency.
The flight landed at 10 p.m., where it was met by emergency crews and paramedics.
When contacted by SFist, a spokesperson with the Yellowstone County Medical Examiner & Coroner says that 42-year-old passenger Tina Matthews of Antioch was pronounced dead at the scene.
Passengers on the flight deplaned while the aircraft was inspected and refueled. They then reboarded, and by midnight were back in the air. They landed at SFO at around 1:20 a.m. Sunday.
As of Monday morning, the cause of Matthews' death had not been released. According to the Coroner's spokesperson, an autopsy on her remains has been scheduled.

Chris Brown and Soulja Boy fight to be the biggest boxing match of 2017?
Chris Brown and Soulja Boy have been having some beef
There has been talk of the two of them fighting in the ring
It could be the best boxing match of 2017
It seems that whenever people are talking about the sport of boxing these days, the biggest name in the business is the British superstar Anthony Joshua, who has gone from winning Olympic Gold at the London 2012 Games, to winning the IBF heavyweight world title, setting up the chance to land the biggest fights on the planet and prove that he deserves to be mentioned alongside the greats of boxing.
However, while there is no denying that Anthony Joshua is a hugely talented boxer and one of the biggest draws in the sport, there is a potential fight that we are so much more excited about seeing, over any boxing match that could possibly take place this year. Yes, you guessed it, we are talking about the proposed boxing match between Chris Brown and Soulja Boy, which looks like it might actually happen.
Soulja Boy and Chris Brown have been having plenty of online beef for the past few weeks and months now, which has led to the suggestion of the two getting in the boxing ring to settle their differences. In fact, it has been claimed that Floyd Mayweather has been training Soulja Boy for the fight, while Mike Tyson has been getting Chris Brown ready for the bout, which is rumoured to be taking place in Dubai in March.
It is believed that the Chris Brown and Soulja Boy fight will consist of three rounds, with each round being three minutes long, although some have argued that they will only do two minutes each round. It will certainly be interesting to see if this fight does actually take place and, if it does, it could well be the biggest and most exciting boxing match of 2017. We cannot wait!

on cutting board and cut ¼" high layer almost (but not through) the bottom-most section of the rib. Turn meat over and continue to make ¼" layers until the rib is completely layered and is now one long strip. Using the edge of a Chinese knife or otehr flat surface, pound meat until it is off an even thickness. NOTE: Chill the meat well. This cutting method will not work well on room temperature ribs. MARINADE: (Curry Based Blender Sauce) Blend all liquid ingredients in a blender for about 15 seconds at "Blend" speed. Grate the fresh ginger root and combine with the minced garlic. Mince the white (only) portion of the green onions. Add all ingredients to blender mixture and operate on "low" for about 45 seconds. Rub suace onto butterflied ribs and refridgerate for 2 or more hours. NOTE: This sauce is excellent for chicken, too. Place ribs on grill, basting often with sauce until done, about 30 minutes depending on heat of grill. Watch carefully to determine when done.
Your Unusual Chinese Grilled Shortribs is ready. Buon appetito!


Goddess girls. Main series volume 4.
Well-researched and true to the original myths, each volume in the Goddess Girls series addresses contemporary issues, like friendships and relationships, from a classically accurate--and entertaining--perspective. In Artemis the Brave , Artemis, goddess of the hunt, is always perceived as the bravest goddessgirl at Mount Olympus Academy. What her classmates and best friends don't realize is that sometimes she isn't as courageous as she looks. And when Orion--a foreign exchange student from Earth--enters the picture, she is even more nervous than usual! Can Artemis prove to her friends, and herself, that she can live up to her goddess name?

Sadly, February 10, 2019, Linda Sawyer passed away due to complications after a routine surgery*. She left behind her adult twin daughters and her legacy.
Ms. Sawyer was perfect for the task of finding the truth. She had decades of experience working with news media and investigative reporting. Linda was a producer, investigative journalist, and writer for Revel Entertainment. She worked with several networks that include PBS, CBS, ABC, VH1, HBO, and MTV. She has also produced Emmy-winning network specials.
Linda's credits included producer for an ABC documentary, "Hillside Strangler," Tribune's "Now It Can Be Told" episode for Aileen Wuornos, the first woman serial killer who was executed, and several other documentaries and specials. Linda has been featured as a book author on Discovery ID's "Unusual Suspects" and as a court reporter for Ice-T's "Ice Cold Murder" on the Oxygen network.
I learned about Linda Sawyer in September 2015. I became social media friends with Steve Herr, the father of murdered victim, Sam, after I confronted Glendele Way-Agle about comments she made on her fan blog for Daniel Wozniak about Sam Herr. I was following the case and I started writing about it because I write and I needed content for my websites so that I could design my own content management system with Drupal.
Steve reached out to me for some Facebook assistance in contacting Glendele and I helped him. He offered to talk to me on the phone and answer any questions I had. I told Steve that I didn't know how far I would go in my writing about this case. He asked me if I heard of Linda Sawyer. I had not. He said that she was an investigative reporter studying the case and had interviewed over 200 people at that time. I became Facebook friends with Linda after my talk with Steve. We all shared the opinion that Rachel Buffet, the wife-to-be of Daniel Wozniak, had a big role in planning and carrying out the murders but there was not enough evidence for police to charge her with murder.
Later, I posted bios for the people who were writing books about the murders. Keith Elliot Greenberg was the first author to write a book, Glendele Way-Agle had her blog and said she was writing a book from Daniel Wozniak's demented perspective, and Linda Sawyer was writing a book that promised to be the most thorough and authoritave account of the murders and the people connected to the case. The case had unanswered questions and the criminal proceedings for the case raised more questions. Everyone who had anything to say about Linda's work hoped it would reveal the truth.
Linda reached out to me in June 2018 on Messenger and offered information for her bio that I had started on my website. She sent me her resume and I used that. She shared her book jacket ideas with me and I offered suggestions for her. She also mentioned her new podcast, Sleuth, set to "drop" in September.
I shared with Linda that I do not like it when people get away with murder and I thought Rachel Buffet was getting away with murder. Typical for me, I shared a personal story that connects me to the subject of conversation.
I shared my personal story with Linda that I thought my mother got away with murder in 1989 when her recently ex-boyfriend suddenly died of a heart attack after my mother fixed him dinner. My mother had a habit of getting homicidal with people close to her. She had used arson, vehicular assault, staged assaults, and food poisoning on close family and boyfriends. It was not until I started following the murders of Sam and Julie that several facts fell into place to paint a picture of murder.
My mother often talked about how she liked old television shows and that people would get away with murder in those shows by overdosing their victims with high blood pressure medication so the murder would look like a heart attack. Her ex-boyfriend had recently started high blood pressure medication, my mother fixed his dinner, and he died of a heart attack. Nauseated does not begin describe how that set of coincidences makes me feel.
Olivia Riner was a Swiss nanny in the United States who was charged with murdering a baby by setting it on fire. Riner posted in her diary about alternating emotions toward the baby of affection and anger. Linda was a crime TV reporter who was tapped as a resource by Riner's defense attorney, Laura Brevetti. In Eggington's book Linda said, "The defense team preyed on my need to have Riner found not guilty." The defense in the case used Linda's investigative work and tore the prosecution's case to shreds by identifying possible third parties who could be responsible, accusing the police of covering up, and tearing holes in the prosecution's evidence.
I felt that Linda and I had an almost kindred sense of wanting justice when people get away with murder, so I valued our social media friendship. We had texted each other in Messenger, sharing various things but many discussions featured Glendele who she called, "Blue Hair" making a reference to something Glen said about herself on her blog. Linda said "Blue Hair's head would spin" when Dan mentioned Linda. Glen wanted to be first with what she has presented as a "revealing" book and the rumor is that Glen was jealous that Linda's podcast was first.
Linda's mood seemed to change before the podcast's first episode in September. She was nervous and seemed new to social media. The first episode of Sleuth aired and Linda reached out to me about a negative comment she received on her podcast. She wanted me to respond to the comment. She also discussed another person close to the case who is a Facebook friend of mine. Our discussions about the comment led to an unexpected unraveling of our social media friendship.
I told Linda I wanted to discuss the case on social media and she quickly blocked me from her social media accounts. I saw that the friend that Linda discussed with me also blocked me and I assumed there was a connection. I reached out to my friend and explained what was going on, then we resumed our friendship. Linda's second podcast episode was an interview with Steve Herr and it went well. The third episode was with Dan's defense attorney Scott Sanders and it raised controversy.
Families of the victims allege that Scott Sanders violated legal ethics by causing many delays in the case against Daniel Wozniak, however, the Orange County District Attorney's office had a few delays of its own. Family members also allege other ethical violations by Sanders during the several years criminal prosecution against Dan.
One ethics issue is that Sanders insisted on raising Sam's acquittal in a gang murder where Sam was also injured by the gang. Prosecutor, Matt Murphy, described Sam as the good person that he was. This is evidence of a person's good character. Sanders wanted to introduce the acquittal to rebut that Sam had a good character. The prosecutor objected and the judge blocked Sanders from using that case.
Sanders has a reputation for complaining that he could not use Sam's innocence to rebut Sam's good character. He claims that when the prosecution presents a victim's good character in a trial, then the defense can present character evidence to rebut the good character. This is not the law with respect to a victim's character. Families of the victims have often shared the hurt the feel by what they say are unethical actions of Sanders.
Linda allowed Sanders to share his misstatement of the law on that point and several others without any rebuttal or correction by a competent attorney. During a press conference, Linda was severely chastised by the prosecutor and family members of the victims for letting Sanders have several hours of interview time on her podcast to share his hurtful opinions. Linda defended herself on her podcast and reiterated that she wanted to find the truth about the murders and to get charges filed against more people.
It seemed that many people began disassociating from Linda for personal reasons that were not always shared. With her recent death, it could be possible that she had medical issues impacting her life in ways people did not know. Linda still has the respect of everyone who knew her, even those who shared feelings of being slighted by her. Everyone who got to know her during the past few years is in shock over losing Linda Sawyer. She began a mission to find the truth and to bring justice in the murders of Sam and Julie and now she is gone.
Linda's podcast revealed many new people to case followers and many new stories about what happened in the lives of people connected to the case before, during, and after the murders. Some of the stories involved the sexual promiscuity of Rachel Buffet, others involved insight and comments about Dan's brother, Tim, and Rachel's brother, Noah, then there were plenty of discussions about the lives and attitudes of friends, families, and fellow actors. Sleuth had more than 2 million downloads with its highest rated episode exceeding 400,000 downloads.
I shared my suggestions with Linda on my website a week later because she blocked me on social media, so I had no way to contact her. I have since unpublished my letter to her because it is personal and she is gone. At the crux of my suggestions were my observations that her podcast revealed information about what people did after the murders and not of what people were doing to plan the murders. There is speculation of what people could have done to plan and facilitate the murders but there are no facts to support the speculation. I suggested that she find some evidence of what was done and said to prepare for and commit the murders. She never responded and three weeks later she died.
R. Scott Moxley shared on his blog that Linda had a premonition just before her surgery that she would die, so she gave him her work. Moxley is a good writer and perhaps he will pick up where Linda left off. Linda also worked with literary agents and other co-collaborators. In the interest of justice, let us all hope there is some relevant and factual evidence to bring all killers in this case to justice. If there is not, then let us keep looking for the truth and to bring all those responsible to justice.
* People often ask online about the surgery Linda had. Her daughters posted the procedures and they were routine and common (not cancer) for many people of all ages from newborn to old age but surgery is personal, so I will not discuss this.


Verses 7-14 describe the consequences or costs of adultery. Solomon renews the admonition to the children to listen to the wise father. They are to listen attentively to the words of his mouth so as not to depart from them. To depart is to turn aside and to go in the way of the strange woman is certainly to turn aside from wisdom to follow great folly.


To really experience Italy is to do it on the back of a Vespa (or drive yourself if you dare). The ubiquitous scooter became the subject of a series of photographs shot by Maria Carbone during one of her trips there. When the studio was asked to design a promotional poster for Kirkwood Printing, we wanted to do something to celebrate the bel paese and chose to highlight the object in its surroundings that is just as much part of the Italian culture as espresso and gelato. Andiamo!

Uke-aholics strum for the fun of it
Electric City Ukulele Club meets monthly in Schenectady

"In tune?" Ron Gordon asks, looking up from his fingers that had been strumming his ukulele. "What shall we play?"
"Then let's do ... 'Mobile Line,' " Gordon says.
He starts playing.
"That's G, G7, C, C7, D7, C7 and G," he says, as five folks follow along.
They're off and strumming at the Electric City Ukulele Club, a monthly gathering of uke-aholics, as they call themselves. They meet once a month -- always the second Monday -- from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Moon and River Cafe in Schenectady.
When it's warm and clear as it was this past Monday, you can walk down Ferry Street in the Stockade past the open door and hear "Can't Buy Me Love," "Lulu's Back in Town" or "Hey, Good Lookin' " on ukuleles in tune, out of tune, in sync, out of sync.
It doesn't matter.
"It's supportive and developmental, yet informal and fun," says Jennifer Stafford, who lives in Troy and is active in participatory music and dancing events in the Capital Region. "That's really what musical gatherings should be about."
She sits along a wall and plays as the group grows. People carrying ukuleles arrive one by one until 10 people fill the front of the cafe. It's a homey spot with a green couch and matching easy chair, tables with straight-back chairs, dim lights, walls filled with colorful artwork, throw rugs on a wooden floor, plants, a TV turned off and bookcases filled haphazardly with books, canned goods and CDs.
In back, a handful of people order from the counter and eat quietly at tables, occasionally applauding when the Electric City Ukulele Club locks into a groove and stops more or less in unison.
Gordon keeps smiling. His gray hair pokes out from his ball cap, his T-shirt is tie-dyed and his sneakers don't have any laces.
"It doesn't have to be good," he says during a break. "I think people sitting around playing music is the best part of music. That's the way to play. That's the best way to learn."
Gordon, in his early 60s, lives in Schenectady and started the ukulele club about five years ago. He's played music since learning the cello and piano at 3. A special-education teacher, administrator and counselor at Wildwood School, he plays several string instruments and was playing ukulele at festivals throughout the East and giving ukulele workshops at DanceFlurry and the Old Songs Festival.
"I thought it'd be really nice to start some ukulele energy in the Capital District," he says.
He asked Richard Genest, an old friend who owns the Moon and River Cafe, if he could start it there once a month. Genest said yes.
"The first year or so I only had like three people, four people," Gordon says. "Not too many people knew how to play. But after a few years it really got going. And now we have some ukulele energy around here."
Gordon is low-key about it. If someone has a song they want the others to play, then he'll remain quiet. If they don't, then he'll suggest one and, if necessary, teach them the chords.
"I could have done that for another hour," Stafford says after an especially rhythmic version of "Hey, Good Lookin" "That was awesome."
She showed up one Monday with a starter ukulele she'd bought for less than $50 -- and, she says, "without a clue what I was doing."
Now, she can't wait for the second Monday of the month to roll around. She's learned to love her little ukulele.
"It's really accessible," she says. "It doesn't feel like you need a whole lot of inherited talent and musical-theory knowledge. You just go there and pay attention, and it's fun. It's this cool, little package of an instrument that's totally portable, and it sounds really neat."
As they're packing up after two hours of strumming and singing, Ron Whitford, a retired federal worker who lives in Jonesville, says he played the guitar, banjo and mandolin, so the transition to ukulele was easy. He likes the high-pitched, happy sound of it, he says.
"I think the group is fantastic," he says. "There's a lot of sharing that goes on. And that's a good thing. The way things are, people sit in front of their TV all the time and never get off the couch. They don't meet anybody, don't interact with other people. If you don't do that, you end up kind of dead."
Gordon is here to make sure that doesn't happen.
"Don't forget," he says. "Next month, second Monday."

Abstract: For a very long time, readers of "A Dream of Red Mansions" think that Xi Ren is the one who caused the death of Qing Wen. However, describing the maid for Jia Baoyu as such a snob contradicts with the comment for all the girls in the book: "All the girls are kind-hearted, and all the women are wicked." What is more, we will discover that those elder maids in Da Guan Yuan and Aunt Zhao are the real murders who killed Qing Wen and expelled Si Er and Fang Guan. They not only have a stronger motivation, but also have sufficient opportunities. Based on details in the book and the context, this article tries to elaborate that the murders who caused the death of Qing Wen are not girls like Xi Ren, but women like those elder maids.
