Q: Is a Binary tree BST but with duplicates are allowed only in right child I am trying to solve a problem to see if a binary tree is a BST or not. The solution I found is for binary trees with out duplicates.
Geeksforgeeks link
int isBST(struct node* node)
{
  return(isBSTUtil(node, INT_MIN, INT_MAX));
}

/* Returns true if the given tree is a BST and its
   values are >= min and <= max. */
int isBSTUtil(struct node* node, int min, int max)
{
  /* an empty tree is BST */
  if (node==NULL)
     return 1;

  /* false if this node violates the min/max constraint */
  if (node->data < min || node->data > max)
     return 0;

  /* otherwise check the subtrees recursively,
   tightening the min or max constraint */
  return
    isBSTUtil(node->left, min, node->data-1) &&  // Allow only distinct values
    isBSTUtil(node->right, node->data+1, max);  // Allow only distinct values
}

For duplicates what I did was I just changed the following part. Also duplicates can only be found in the right child i.e all the children in the left child should be smaller the present node but the right child may have the same value as the parent node.
  if (node->data < min || node->data >= max)
     return 0;
return(isBSTUtil(node->left, min, node->data) &&
isBSTUtil(node->right, node->data, max));

I dont know where I was wrong but some tests are failing. It is an online assessment and I cannot get the test cases where it is failing. Can some one assist me on this.

A: Try the following code:
int isBST(struct node* node)
{
  return(isBSTUtil(node, INT_MIN, INT_MAX));
}

/* Returns true if the given tree is a BST and its
   values are >= min and <= max. */
int isBSTUtil(struct node* node, long long min, long long max)
{
  /* an empty tree is BST */
  if (node==NULL)
     return 1;

  /* false if this node violates the min/max constraint */
  if (node->data < min || node->data > max)
     return 0;

  /* otherwise check the subtrees recursively,
   tightening the min or max constraint */
  return
    isBSTUtil(node->left, min, long long (node->data) - 1) &&  /*left smaller*/
    isBSTUtil(node->right, node->data, max);  /*right can equal or greater*/
}

To avoid underflow, you should use long long instead of int.
long is also 4bytes on some platform and not enough.
Thanks for @Bernard for pointing out.

What explains the staying power of Harper Lee's book "To Kill a Mockingbird" and the film that starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch?
For some, it is its poignant story of Jean Louise, or "Scout." Scout's love and respect for her father, Atticus, gave her the courage to face the dangers and unfairness of a flawed world. For others, it is Atticus himself and his example of dignity, kindness and courage.
But things are much more complicated according to a new book, "Why To Kill a Mockingbird Matters: What Harper Lee's Book and the Iconic American Film Mean to Us Today," by Tom Santopietro.
"Mockingbird's" staying power is evidenced by its inclusion on PBS' list of 100 novels in contention for selection as America's best-loved book. The list is a part of PBS' "Great American Read" broadcast series airing on UNC-TV September through October.
Santopietro gives us a biography of the "Mockingbird" phenomenon. He takes us to Harper Lee's hometown, Monroeville, Alabama, and introduces us to the friends, family and neighbors who were models for the characters of her book. Readers also learn about Harper-Lee's gentle home life and her town's oppressive segregated social system.
Readers learn how the book was written, how it was sold to a publisher and how it took the country by storm. They also learn how the movie was made, including the key casting decisions that brought Gregory Peck onboard and how a North Carolina woman from Reidsville, Alice Lee "Boaty" Boatwright, made the key selection of a 9-year-old Birmingham, Alabama, girl who had no acting experience to play Scout.
In "Watchman," Atticus is shown, in the words of Isabel Wilkerson, as a "gentleman bigot." He is a supporter of the White Citizens Council and a firm opponent of the court-ordered desegregation of public schools and the efforts to open public accommodations to African-Americans.
A better model for "Watchman's" Atticus than the sometimes mean-spirited Thurmond might be I. Beverly Lake, the segregationist candidate who opposed Terry Sanford in the 1960 North Carolina governor's race. Lake sincerely believed in segregation, and like Atticus, he was a gentleman. In fact, according to John Drescher in his "Triumph of Good Will: How Terry Sanford Beat a Champion of Segregation and Reshaped The South," Lake supported the liberal Frank Porter Graham in the 1950 race for U.S. Senate and condemned the racist attacks from the campaign of Graham's opponent.
Can we still honor the contributions and good qualities of those who held to this discredited viewpoint of their times?
If not, "Mockingbird" will slip off the lists of best-loved books.

We Love Luka Modric
Julen Lopetegui insists Gareth Bale is content at Real Madrid
Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui has suggested that Gareth Bale would be staying put for the upcoming campaign after indicating that the Welshman is 'very happy' at the Bernabeu. Bale's future came under question shortly after his Champions League heroics versus Liverpool where he admitted his frustration over the reduced gametime.
However, the club have since witnessed the high-profile exit of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lopetegui has now suggested that the Welshman could transform into a key player after the Portuguese's departure, he said: "He's very, very happy. He's very happy to play at Real Madrid. He's happy to be here, this is a fantastic opportunity for him to show his talent.I've talked to him like I've talked to everyone. He's with the team, he's happy, he's in line with our goals and it's a start of a new exciting path for us that I'm looking forward to. Bale is a magnificent player with qualities and we are convinced he and everyone else can fill the void[Ronaldo exit]."
Luka Modrić Is The Main Person In Three-Way Deal Between The Giants Of Champions League
According to the reports, Luka Modrić, the Real Madrid midfielder is the main person for unlocking a major effect in this transfer window. This transfer window could see Lazio star Sergej Milinković-Savić in-demand and João Mário of Inter also secure moves before the new season. The transfer window chaos is showing no signs of getting slow down and international Modrić of Croatian has presumably told his employers that this summer he wants to leave the Santiago Bernabéu.
He is now 32-year-old and he is pushing for a move to San Siro and the Luciano Spalletti Inter boss had made the confirmation that he is "dreaming" to sign Luka Modrić in the summer of 2018. Spalletti in an interview cleared his mind about this rumor and said "Players like Modric is important for everyone and it is clear that he is important for everyone and not for us, I dream with the fans."
Modric Provided Contract Extension
Luka Modric has been provided a 4-year contract extension at Real Madrid. He will now remain at the club till the 2017-18 Season.
There have been quite a few changes in the midfield of Madrid this summer with the likes of Kroos and Rodriguez coming in, while, Alonso and Casemiro going out. But, Modric is still there which shows how vital the club management considers him.
Madrid had been benefitted immensely by Modric's terrific playmaking abilities the previous season. The consistency of the Croatia international was one of the big factors behind the club's continental victory.
Modric's versatility gives Carlo Ancelotti the opportunity to try out different combinations. The 28-year old is capable of playing in aggressive as well as holding role.
Although, he seems to be at ease playing slightly up but, he does a job for his manager when he is asked to play deep as well.
Many a time last season, Modric showed how good he is against the teams having congested defences. He has that special ability to get through the lines and create opportunities for the front line of his team and with the kind of attacking combination Madrid plays with, rarely a scoring opportunity goes begging.
So, Modric holds a key position in Madrid's line up.
Of course, the new signing Toni Kroos is also a similar kind of player in the sense that he is also versatile, but, still, given the kind of performances Modric put up in 2013-14 La Liga, it's him who would be the manager's go-to man in any tricky situation this season and a new contract to him is an acknowledgement of the fact that Ancelotti sees him as one of the anchor players around whom a young Madrid team is to be built.
Arteta Rejects SUggestions Of Move
Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta has rejected suggestions that he is looking for a move away from the club. The 32-year-old is out of contract next summer, while it is believed that he is not happy with Arsenal's decision to offer him only a 12 month extension. The club has a policy of not offering players above 30 more than 12 months on a new contract. Arteta recently criticised this policy because he felt that experienced players offered a lot more than Arsenal imagine. After having been playing in the Premier League for several years, a return to Spain appears to be on the cards for the former Everton man.
However, he has rejected speculation linking him with a return to Spanish football by saying that he is happy at the Emirates stadium. Arteta has been a first-team regular since his £ 10 million move from Everton. He has been used in a deeper position by manager Arsene Wenger. Up until now, injuries to the likes of Abou Diaby and the departures of Alex Song have made him a permanent fixture in the centre of the park. This could change after the club recently strengthened its midfield with signings like Alexis Sanchez. Sami Khedira is also believed to be on the verge of joining Arsenal.
"I can't stop the rumours, but what I am certain is that I'm really happy here, I feel valued, I have been given a lot of responsibility and I like it. Until they think something different about me, I'm happy. I had a conversation with the manager. He knows my opinion and we're fine," said the midfielder. Arteta also hailed the arrival of Sanchez from Barcelona for around £ 35 million. Khedira is expected to join the Premier League outfit for around £ 20 million from Real Madrid.
CASILLAS STRUGGLING
When Jose Mourinho departed Real Madrid during the last summer and the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti was announced it created expectations that Iker Casillas would undoubtedly be placed into the main squad of the team just as he has been doing for the majority of his playing career with the Spanish club.
Unfortunately for the captain of Spain, he has not played a single match, a single minute of this season of La Liga as Carlo Ancelotti has preferred placing Diego Lopez ahead of the World Cup champion.
Iker Casillas has already said that this campaign would be his last one in Real Madrid as the frustration of only being able to play in the Copa del Rey has reached him but the question that remains is where will he be playing in the next season.
Just about any club in the world would be willing to secure the services of the Spanish goalkeeper who still is regarded to be one of the best shot-stoppers in the world. Real Madrid has to face Barcelona in the Copa del Rey finale and it is very likely that it will be the last match that Iker Casillas gets the chance to appear facing off against their eternal rivals Barcelona.
While Iker Casillas will be seeing his way out of the club in the summer, Real Madrid is believed to be interested in signing the Chilean midfielder of Juventus, Arturo Vidal and are prepared to launch an offer to the Italian club when the transfer window re-opens in the summer but they have stiff competition as Manchester United are also keeping close tabs on Vidal.
NEW MODRIC?
Philippe Coutinho has been one of the good signings for Liverpool, as the Brazilian has performed well above expectations since his £ 8 million move from Inter Milan. His signing was viewed as a gamble by the club, who had previously failed with big-money moves like Andy Carroll. Coutinho has more than defied expectations by becoming a first-team regular in the Premier league, which is regarded as hard league for the Brazilians because of the physical nature. Coutinho has been able to settle comfortably partly due to the presence of his international counterparts like Lucas.
Brendan Rodgers says that Coutinho has been excellent for Liverpool, but he expects more from the youngster in the coming years. He has compared him with former Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric, who is currently playing for Real Madrid. The Croatian midfielder did not have the physicality required to play in the English Premier league, but he more than adapted well and proved to be a major reason behind Tottenham's upward surge in the last few years.
Modric then sealed a £ 35 million move to Madrid and he is starting to become a key player there as well. Rodgers has said that Modric scored 13 goals in his first season at Tottenham and he sees no reason why Coutinho cannot replicate it.
"I look at Coutinho as a Modric type. And when you look at Modric, then over four years at Tottenham he got 13 league goals but his influence was massive. He will naturally get more goals but he is a wonderful player for us. He is a key who opens up many things in a game. There's no doubt he will want to improve it, but I don't want to put pressure on to do that. They know what their job is," said Rodgers.
MODRIC HAPPY TO BE LINKED
Former Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric has revealed that he is extremely happy that a great manager like Sir Alex Ferguson tried to sign him when he was the manager of Manchester United. Modric is currently playing for Real Madrid, but he was linked with several clubs over the last few years. The likes of Paris St Germain, Chelsea, and Manchester United were looking to secure his signature, but it was Real Madrid who ended up getting him for £ 35 million. Modric has revealed that he is happy to be playing for a club like Madrid, but he is also flattered due to interest from several big names over the years.
The Croatian is currently playing for Carlo Ancelotti, who tried to get him when he was at Chelsea and PSG. Tottenham were not prepared to sell him at any price during that period, but they were forced to sell to Real Madrid after they came in with a huge offer. Modric has said that the transfer interest from Manchester United did not materialise into a serious offer, but he is more than happy that Ferguson was interested in him. The former United manager is regarded as one of the best in the world after having led United to numerous titles in 26 years.
"Ancelotti wanted me already. One year ago at PSG and in 2011 at Chelsea. But then Andre Villas-Boas came and Tottenham did not want to give me up. I also knew of the interest of the United and even if the transfer did not materialise, the public appreciation of a great like Sir Alex is a big pride for me. Zvonimir Boban is an idol for me, an example of football and life. When I arrived at Tottenham and I received strong criticism, Boban took my number and called me," said Modric.
STARTING TO SETTLE?
Ever since Luka Modric made the £ 34 million move from Tottenham to Real Madrid, there have been rumours linking him with a return to the Premier league. He did not settle at the Spanish club in his first season, but he has now become one of the important players midfield especially after the departure of Mesut Ozil. He was voted by the fans as the worst signing last season, but he has now transformed himself and has endeared to the public.
He has not scored a goal for the club this season, but he has already made 10 appearances in all competitions. It has been a virtual ever present in the Madrid team under Carlo Ancelotti. He has been linked to the Premier league with the likes of Manchester United showing a lot of interest. The champions are keen to strengthen the midfield and were linked with numerous players in the summer including Modric. However, they were unable to get him, but they are expected to come in with a second offer in the summer.
Modric, though, has ruled out any possibility of returning now because he feels settled at Madrid. He was recently joined by his former Tottenham teammate Gareth Bale, who has become the world's most expensive player at £ 86 million.
"I have no doubt that the best thing that ever happened to me in football is to play in Madrid. Where will I be in four years? Here. Besides being a great club, my family feels amazing in Madrid. In football it is difficult to plan, but if you ask me, I would like to retire in Madrid. With titles, of course," said the midfielder, who failed to win the league title last season. This time around it is going to be difficult as well because they are five points behind Barcelona.
David Moyes eyeing Luka Modric
Croatian international midfielder Luka Modric features heavily in new Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti's plans but Manchester United manager David Moyes hopes to be able to persuade the former Spurs man to leave the Santiago Bernabeu for Old Trafford.
United have already lost out on their primary summer target, Spanish Under-21 international Thiago Alcantara of Barcelona who chose to follow his former boss Pep Guardiola to Bayern Munich after a prolonged chase and with United short of creative midfielders, the United manager believes Modric is the man to provide the spark.
United have also been trailing former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, another Barcelona man with the hope of reuniting him once again with Robin van Persie, a partnership that enjoyed much success at the Emirates Stadium but the club has pinned a lot of their hopes on getting Luka Modric, a player who was targeted by Sir Alex Ferguson before he switched from White Hart Lane to the Bernabeu.
According to reports, United were very close to sealing a deal for the Croatian international but the club's chairman Daniel Levy spoiled any move for the player by asking for an inflated transfer fee. Modric failed to make much of an impact at Madrid during his first few months at the club with Jose Mourinho using him sparingly but burst onto life after scoring the equalizing goal at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League.
Now, with Mourinho having left the club for Chelsea and Ancelotti taking on the reigns of the club, Luka Modric feels that he has a lot more chance of getting a game at the club but at Manchester United, Moyes can guarantee him a starting berth in the side day in and day out and will be the star man in the United midfield.
MODRIC CHASED BY UNITED
Former Manchester United midfielder Lou Macari has said that the club should look into the possibility of signing Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric, who is thought to be unhappy at the Spanish club.
The Croatian arrived at the Santiago Bernebeu in the summer for around £ 35 million, but he has largely been a substitute at the club due to his failure to settle in Spanish football. Modric has been utilised in the less important matches by manager José Mourinho. As a result, he is thought to be unhappy with life in Spain and is willing to look at other options.
Manchester United were credited with enormous interest in Modric by the man utd news site before he moved to Real Madrid. Sir Alex Ferguson were unable to agree a transfer fee with Tottenham. Even though he has failed to live up to the expectations, Macari still thinks that Modric is one of the best midfielders in the world. Due to the retirement of Paul Scholes, United will be having one of their weakest midfielders for several years. Macari thinks that the arrival of Modric could strengthen the United team even further, as they will be preparing for the defence of their league title next season.
The club recently managed to win its 20th league title.
"One name that keeps cropping up is Luka Modric. If they did sign someone like him I'm not sure where they can go wrong. He's proved that he can do it in the Premier League. He knows what football in this country is about so you don't need to worry about some of the things you need to think about with other players coming in from abroad. It seems a real possibility that he could join Manchester United," said Macari in a recent interview. Modric has made just 28 appearances this season.

Finally, unless birds brave tomorrow's heat, I will have peaches to harvest in my own backyard. A dream I have had for over nine years.
Since 2014, Vanessa and I have raised this peach tree. Watered it, pruned it, kept it safe. In a way it's been like a child. And now, heeding the lessons we taught it, it too has produced offspring.
This is every parent's dream. We will pluck them one by one, wait for them to ripen, and then eat the grandchildren.
Over the Australia Day weekend I put some effort into a few home maintenance tasks. I cleaned my air-conditioner filter, patched and painted some wall-holes, and re-sealed a leaky shower screen.
Finally, already picturing the beer I'd drink, I went through the motions of replacing the washer and valves in my shower taps. It had been dripping for a while, and the easy fix would be the pineapple on top of my handyman shenanigans. But, when I put the water back on, it still dripped. I tightened, rechecked, went up and down the stairs a bunch of times. No difference. I couldn't solve it.
So I did the mature thing and closed the door and walked away.
After a week of showering in the spare bathroom, I decided to tackle the problem again. I bought new valves and washers, essentially I would repeat the whole change process. A reboot. The first step in IT troubleshooting, turn it off an on again! And it worked! Finally, with the taps turned, the water stopped. At last, I could beer.
The next day, with water flowing, a high pitch whine started in the walls. I Googled it, saw the list of possible root causes... Plumbing is not like IT.
It seems like only a week ago I was ending my days cleaning up a dozen open PuTTY sessions. Now I've got the same problem with open Word documents.
It doesn't matter how much time you spent watering and fertilizing, or the efforts to protect the leaves from sun, and the fruit from birds. Ultimately, a peach is a peach. It takes about a minute to eat. If you're reading something on your phone, or scrolling through emails, you might not even remember tasting it. You'll receive a little dose of vitamins and fibre, then it's gone.
The world has plenty of peaches. Some won't even get eaten. Some won't even make it to the store.
So it goes for most of life. Hours are invested into something, and if a tiny, unappreciated fruit makes it out the other end, you're still not even halfway there.
Two things happened this weekend. First, I reached the nine year milestone of my wrist reconstruction. Second, I researched how to prune peach trees, and I discovered a fascinating thing about growing stone fruit. These trees never grow fruit on the same wood more than once. Over the next year, branches will extend and only then will new fruit come. If you fail to cut back in Autumn, the branches will stretch longer and longer in order to provide fresh wood for the flowers that become peaches that eventually become eaten and forgotten. The tree will become unbalanced. The fruit small and exposed.
The writer part of me wanted to find some symbolism for life in this fact. A lesson to improve an overcast summer sunday. Like, if I chopped off my arms at the elbow, would I be more productive by next summer? Successfully fruiting bigger accomplishments with smooth, baby hands? Was there anything I could chop around the house, or in the office that might yield more out of life in the future? Was there any dead wood in my mind or in my heart where the memory of fruit past prevented new fruit from coming? Could I slice those bits away?
This all seemed a bit dangerous, or too challenging to reach with a saw. Eventually I discovered one thing I could prune back today with a view to tomorrow. My peach tree! I knew I'd been googling for a reason.
Now next year maybe I'll harvest more peaches than this one. Maybe enough peaches to eat that I'll never forget the taste of them.
Then it will be time to cut again.
Seems it was only a matter of time. The words written in the sand erased by the incoming tide. Another summer gradually swept away, one frothy white wash after another. The sun flees beyond the horizon, the smell of waffle-cone still on my fingers.
What better time to be alive than summer? Injuries, illness, isolation, mortality would all feel worse in the cold. Blue skies, warm nights, cell-shredding UV rays, a gush of tennis and cricket that never feels like it's going to relent. Have a drink, dunk yourself in the salt water, (both), the mere angle of the planet justifies it. It might make you feel better for a while.
Some summer days I think back to my youth and wonder if it's me or the world that's changed. Didn't I used to throw open the house to a warm night air? Where did all these bugs come from? Are there less pools in the world now, or are they on the other side of the fence for my subdivided generation? Has the sun always been this disgruntled? Was the ocean always so full of stingers?
Why do the once never-ending days feel so short?
Looking forward to wearing hoodies again though.

Counter-secessionist groups may rise in South-East if IPOB doesn't stop killings –Umahi
Ebonyi State Governor and Chairman of the South-East Governors' Forum, Dave Umahi, says counter-secessionist groups may rise in the South-East geopolitical zone if the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra does not call its members to order and stop the threats and killings.
Umahi, who also described the agitation for Biafra as "madness", said South-East elite do not want secession but want the zone to be treated fairly and equitably as other zones in the country.
The governor also vowed that the South-East zone won't be turned to a killing field and grounded by secessionist agitators.
He said youths in the region, who shunned dialogue to make their grievances heard and resolved but chose the path of agitation to cause criminality, would be "isolated as criminals".
Umahi spoke on Wednesday as a guest on Channels Television's 'Sunrise Daily' breakfast programme monitored by The PUNCH.
'MASSOB not violent, IPOB dishes out messages of killings'
On Tuesday, the Senate Minority Leader, who represents Abia South in the red chamber, Enyinnaya Abaribe, had said that aside from IPOB and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, there are more than 30 separatist organisations in the South-East.
But reacting on Wednesday on the television programme, Umahi said the two separatist groups he knows of are IPOB and MASSOB, adding that Abaribe spoke "from the point of his information".
The governor stated that while MASSOB has never been violent, IPOB dishes out messages of fear and killings in the zone.
Umahi said, "The separatist groups, we know of IPOB, we know of MASSOB. MASSOB has never been violent and they are approachable and they tend to reason with us but this other people, IPOB, their command is never in the country and every one of them stays out and dishes out messages of bitterness and messages of threats and fear and killings and are not here with us to feel the pains.
"So, these are just the two groups that I can talk about but I fear that if IPOB does not call their people to order and stop these threats and killings and all that, other groups will rise up to counter it but there is no way South-East would be grounded, there is no way South-East will be sitting at home while other parts of the country will be doing businesses whereas we are the people that should be moving because we earn our living by moving."

Photographer Mike Evangelist, taking a selfie in the building's new gym.
The fourth floor of the original 1902 building, looking south from 7th Street, with windows overlooking Nicollet Mall. This style of window, the result of advancement in glass-making technologies, was first seen in Chicago in the mid-1890s.
The enormous Sky Room (later rechristened Skyroom) restaurant was a crown jewel of the store's 1947 addition, a project that took the building to its top height of 12 floors and made Dayton's one of the country's 10 largest department stores.
The 4th-floor women's restroom, a colorful Art Deco delight, dates to 1925. "I shared a picture of it on the Old Minneapolis Facebook page a while back, and people are crazy about it," said Mike Evangelist.
These sandstone basement walls – revealed during the renovation – run along the 7th Street side of the building and date back nearly 140 years, when the site was occupied by Westminster Presbyterian Church which was destroyed by a fire in 1895.
The Oak Grill, which opened in 1947, looking from the bar into the restaurant's dining room.
The famous Oak Grill fireplace, a 300-year-old beauty, intricately carved in oak and salvaged from a Jacobean manor in southern England after World War II.
The majority of the building's escalators have been removed and the floor openings filled in. Unchanged is the escalator signage, embedded into the floor and designed to remind shoppers of their place in the store.
On the lower level: Aluminum elevator doors, which date to the store's 1947 addition and renovation.
A stairway, located near the store's 8th-and-Nicollet corner, connecting the main level to the basement.
Mike Evangelist has encountered long-forgotten wallpaper remnants all over the building.
The 5th floor's five round windows are some of architect Charles Sumner Sedgwick's most distinctive embellishments. From the exterior, anyway. "When it was a store, they were not visible from the sales floor," said Mike Evangelist. "They were inside stockrooms or offices."
The 12th-floor escalator lobby. "I'm so fascinated by the guys doing the work on the floors, and the way they're restoring and patching and filling in all of these old terrazzo and travertine and concrete and wood floors," said Mike Evangelist.
The building's renovation is revealing long-hidden flooring materials. This tile was part of the Byerly's Pantry on the store's main floor.
The former J.B. Hudson jewelry store, located at the building's 8th-and-Nicollet corner. This view is from the store's mezzanine. Dayton's purchased the jeweler in 1929 and moved the store into opulent digs. In 2008, the store relocated to the former Young-Quinlan at 901 Nicollet Mall.
Covered for more than a decade, this Dayton's sign – located on the building's 12th floor and visible from the north end of Nicollet Mall – was recently revealed and refurbished. It was added during the store's 1947 expansion.
Documenting Dayton's
A photographer who has been chronicling Minneapolis since the early 1970s has a new plum assignment: capturing the transformation of a beloved department store.

Minneapolis photographer documents the reclaiming of downtown Dayton's
By Rick Nelson Star Tribune
April 18, 2020 — 1:06pm
In December, Mike Evangelist added a new habit to his routine.
Several days a week, he heads to downtown Minneapolis, pulls on a hard hat, picks up his camera and spends a few hours exploring the considerable nooks and crannies within the store formerly known as Dayton's, which is undergoing a $214 million reinvention.
"Basically, I have complete liberty," he said. "I can go whenever I want, and take pictures of whatever I want. It's endlessly fascinating."
Inspired by a TV news update on what is now called the Dayton's Project, Evangelist contacted Telos, the Chicago-based real estate services firm that is leasing the building.
"I kind of stuck my nose in it," he said. "I told them, 'It's an important building because it has such a rich history, and it occupies such a central spot in the city.' "
The folks at Telos agreed, and granted Evangelist and his camera carte blanche.
"The Dayton's Project hired Mike as our photographer to capture the historic preservation happening within the building as well as to document the ongoing changes during construction at the project," said Cailin Rogers, Telos vice president of marketing and public relations.
Evangelist's photographic eye has long been drawn to downtown Minneapolis.
As a student at Mounds View High School in the early 1970s, he devoted countless rolls of film to scenes along Nicollet Mall and Hennepin Avenue. Some of those snapshots ended up, decades later, in "Downtown Minneapolis in the 1970s," a page-turning collaboration with writer Andy Sturdevant that was published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press in 2015.
"Will these Dayton's photos make it into another book?" he said. "I don't know. Maybe."
What eventually became one of the country's largest department stores was constructed in stages. In 1902, George Draper Dayton built the original six-story edifice at 7th and Nicollet. The last addition came in 1963, when the famous eighth-floor auditorium was added; the store now encompassed roughly 1.2 million square feet spread out over 12 above- ground floors and two basements.
The Dayton's name graced the building for nearly a century, then it was briefly Marshall Field's, followed by an 11-year run as Macy's that ended in 2017. The current top-to-bottom makeover is transforming what was essentially a 20th-century selling machine into a 21st-century office-retail complex.
Evangelist is still growing accustomed to the building's daunting size.
"I looked it up, and a typical Target is about 100,000 to 120,000 square feet," he said. "So basically just about any floor in the building could be its own Target."
He's definitely getting his steps in, relying upon an elevator to take him to the top floor, then using stairs to make his way downward; most of the building's escalators have been removed.
Evangelist finds himself returning to the fifth floor, notable for its distinctive round windows. He also enjoys exploring the ornate former J.B. Hudson jewelry store on the first floor, as well as the ninth floor's executive offices, which are outfitted with restrooms, conference rooms and safes.
The 12th floor is another draw, especially its two restaurants, which are now patiently awaiting new uses. The Oak Grill is bereft of furniture and boarded up, but still recognizably the same.
Not so for the Skyroom, which has been stripped to its basic framework, with two exceptions: both the curvaceous ceiling and the enormous windows remain, mementos of the room-with-a-view's swank original design, which dates to 1947.
The kitchens still contain walk-in coolers, a massive oven and vintage candy-making machinery.
Female Daytonians will surely recall the art deco confection that is the fourth-floor women's restroom. It's still there, in all of its mint-and-black glory, awaiting use, albeit a bit dusty; Evangelist wiped down surfaces with microfiber cloths before snapping pictures.
"But there's also an amazing women's restroom on the 12th floor," said Evangelist. "I argued with my wife on this very subject. I told her about the cool bathroom on the fourth floor, and she said, 'No, it's definitely on the 12th floor.' "
Sandy Evangelist was right. He eventually discovered it, in the dark — there was no working electricity in the space — and photographed the glamorously curved-and-mirrored space using a single strobe light.
"I told my wife, 'The men's restrooms were like an outhouse, with running water, and you get this? How is that fair?' "
History revealed
Evangelist is also captivated by the methodical removal of layers and layers of floor and wall coverings, accumulated over the decades to suit the store's ever-evolving needs. The building's original materials and finishes are being revealed.
A favorite example lies in the basement, where once-hidden sandstone walls reveal how the foundations of the site's previous occupant — the second home of Westminster Presbyterian Church, destroyed in a fire in 1895 — were incorporated into the building's superstructure.
"That just blows me away," said Evangelist. "As I do this sort of photographic archaeology, I've come to realize that the building has been changing, continuously, for more than a hundred years."
Back when Macy's was conducting its final sale, Evangelist tried to capture what he could, but there were roadblocks.
"As soon as I'd pull out my camera, someone would say, 'You can't take pictures in here' and I'd think, 'Why not? Why do you care?' " he said. "But I'm a rule follower, so I didn't get many pictures from that period. I'm grateful for the ones that I did."
He's hoping to create a small then-and-now series, pairing images from the building's final days as a department store with contemporary views. One photo he snapped during Macy's going-out-of-business sale features a sign that reads "Last Act."
"Turns out, it's wrong," said Evangelist. "That was not the last act, it was only the beginning."

A young Minnesota Native filmmaker's 'Wild' ride to Sundance
After years of writing and dreaming, a Minnesota filmmaker will compete at this month's Sundance Film Festival.
Honduran migrants began walking toward the Guatemalan border before dawn Friday, driven by deepening poverty and the hope of a warmer reception if they can reach the United States border.
Governors bitterly accused the Trump administration Friday of deceiving the states about the amount of COVID-19 vaccine they can expect to receive as they ramp up vaccinations for senior citizens and others. But the government attributed the anger to confusion and misguided expectations on the part of the states.

The Bastard Son and Good Queer Representation
November 27, 2022 slimfastzombie1986 2 Comments
Recently the series "The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself," debuted on Netflix, and millions tuned in to see this wonderful series. Based on the books by author Sally Green, "the Half Bad Trilogy" tells the story of Nathan Byrne, son of Marcus Edge, the most infamous Blood Witch that ever lived. Aided by his friends Annalise and Gabriel, he quests to find the one thing that can save him from certain death: his family's blood.
What surprised me the most was how unapologetically queer this series is. From the moment you meet Gabriel on a date with a fling that has gone on too long, it just is and remains that way for the remainder of the series. It was such a refreshing aspect of the show. Out of the 3 young adults, Gabriel is the most heroic. As they face two-faced thugs, evil adults, and murderous siblings, Gabriel faces each obstacle with a smile, a joke, or flat-out sarcasm. His humor is solid gold as he moves from one scene to the next.
That humor is never a mask, like we see queer guys and gals use to hide how terrified they are of the bad things. It's just Gabriel. When he finds himself jealous of Annalise, he doesn't turn into a gay bitchy cliche. He simply pouts or grows quiet but protects her and Nathan, who he is "very" curious about.
A post shared by Netflix UK & Ireland (@netflixuk)
What stands out the most about Gabriel and why I love him is that his queerness is as much a part of him as his hard drinking and weed smoking. It all adds to who he is and why he does what he does. As the episodes progress, the viewer peeks at his motivation and finds he is one hundred percent here for the journey and for Nathan, with whom he has witty, flirty banter. It all comes to a head when Nathan almost dies, and Gabriel's sensitivity to this finally shows Nathan that he's seriously in love with him. Nathan, who had limited interpersonal friendships of any kind, responded to this realization with curiosity and timidness.
I was surprised by how they portrayed both men's growing feelings with so much screen time and candid moments. Many times in these shows, we see it fast-forwarded. Like they just get to that point magically while something else is happening. But we actually see the whole situation while falling in love with them. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I am glad that the decision to make it overly sexual never happened. It wouldn't have made much sense between the near-constant fear of being killed violently and the pace needed for a show centered on being on the run.
Instead, we get a powerful kiss and its interesting aftermath without taking anything away from the remainder of the show. In fact, the kiss heightened the emotional chokehold the show had on me. It was almost time for Nathan to die, Gabriel was running out of options to save the man he loved, and the villains were especially villainous. How does it go? Watch and find out, but viewing the gay love between them was chef's kiss. Seeing Nathan's romance with Annalise was also beautiful and youthful with the delicate frailty of it.
This isn't "Twilight" or "Vampire Diaries" where screen time is wasted on a love triangle. Here, people are figuring themselves out without dealing with the real-world homophobia that plagues people off-screen, so they have the freedom to do it.

This show gave such a delightful surprise last weekend. I started watching without any idea that it would have a same sex romance and was stunned when the chemistry between the two males started to play out. They were seriously electric and felt so natural that it made sense that it was never really questioned. Love should be like that. In an ideal world. Fell in love with the show aster that. I hope it continues!

thanks- I had never heard of this- trailer looks interesting!

COMPASS Pathways presents largest ever study of psilocybin therapy, at American Psychiatric Association annual meeting
Positive data from phase IIb study shows potential of COMP360 psilocybin therapy
in treatment-resistant depression
COMPASS Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) ("COMPASS"), a mental health care company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today presented positive data from the largest randomised, controlled, double-blind study of psilocybin therapy ever completed, at the American Psychiatric Association annual meeting in New Orleans*. The study showed that a single 25mg dose of COMP360 psilocybin, in combination with psychological support, was associated with a highly statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms after three weeks (p<0.001), with a rapid and durable response for up to 12 weeks.
The randomised, controlled, double-blind phase IIb clinical trial was designed to understand the efficacy and safety of a single dose of investigational COMP360 psilocybin (25mg or 10mg), compared to 1mg in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). 233 patients with TRD received either 1mg, 10mg or 25mg COMP360 psilocybin, in conjunction with psychological support from specially trained therapists. Symptoms of depression were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg depression rating scale (MADRS)**, a widely used and accepted scale for assessing depression; the MADRS assessments were made by an independent, blinded rater.
Key results:
Depression symptoms: patients who received a 25mg dose of COMP360 psilocybin with psychological support experienced a highly statistically significant reduction in symptoms of depression after three weeks: the difference between 25mg group and 1mg group was -6.6 on the MADRS* depression scale at week 3, p<0.001.
Durability: double the number of patients who received 25mg had a sustained response at week 12, compared to those who received 1mg (20.3% of patients in the 25mg group vs 10.1% in the 1mg group).
Tolerability: COMP360 psilocybin was generally well-tolerated. On the day of COMP360 administration, headache, nausea, and dizziness were the only adverse events where a dose-related increase in incidence was evident and there were no clinically significant differences between dose group in vital signs or clinical laboratory tests observed during the study.
Adverse events: In this study suicidal ideation and intentional self-injury were seen in all treatment groups (as is regularly observed in a TRD population), and the majority occurred more than a week after the psilocybin session. There was no mean worsening of suicidal ideation scores in any treatment group. Suicidal behaviours were reported at least 1 month after COMP360 administration for 3 non-responders in the 25mg arm.
David J Hellerstein MD, a Principal Investigator on the trial and Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said: "Treatment-resistant depression is one of the biggest challenges we face in psychiatry, and chances of success decreases with each treatment that a patient tries. It's rare to see such positive outcomes of clinical trials in this disease area, which is why these results are so significant. I hope this represents a major step in finding new options for people living with treatment-resistant depression."
Dr Guy Goodwin, Chief Medical Officer, COMPASS Pathways, said, "Our mission is all about developing mental health innovations through scientific evidence, which is why we're so honoured to present the largest study of its kind at the APA. In this study, a significant number of patients experienced improvement in their symptoms of depression after just a single dose of 25mg psilocybin with psychological support, with effects lasting for up to three months of the study. We now need to continue our research to understand if this can be replicated in even larger trials."

*The safety and efficacy of COMP360 psilocybin therapy in treatment-resistant depression: Results from a phase IIb randomized controlled trial. Guy M. Goodwin, Susan C. Stansfield, David J. Hellerstein, Allan H. Young, Ekaterina Malievskaia. APA: Abstract Number: 5301 Session Title: Poster Session 6
**MADRS = Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale; response = ≥50% decrease in MADRS total score from baseline; remission = MADRS total score ≤10; sustained response = patients meeting the MADRS response criteria from week 3 until week 12
More than 320 million people globally suffer with major depressive disorder (MDD)1, the leading cause of disability worldwide and one of the fastest growing mental health illnesses2. About a third of these patients – 100 million people – aren't helped by existing therapies and suffer with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)3. As many as 30% of these attempt suicide at least once during their lifetime4,5. TRD carries two to three times the medical costs of a non-TRD MDD patient, and patients with TRD have a higher all-cause mortality compared with non-TRD MDD patients6. The TRD population is by definition more difficult to treat and more likely to relapse than patients with major depressive disorder. In 2018, COMPASS received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for its COMP360 psilocybin therapy for TRD.
About the COMP360 psilocybin therapy phase IIb study
This randomised, controlled, multicentre, double-blind phase IIb trial is the largest psilocybin therapy clinical trial ever conducted, with 233 patients from 10 countries in North America and Europe. 94% of the patients had no prior experience with psilocybin. The objective of the trial was to find the appropriate dose for a larger, pivotal phase III programme, which COMPASS expects to begin in 2022.
COMPASS Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a mental health care company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health. Our focus is on improving the lives of those who are suffering with mental health challenges and who are not helped by current treatments. We are pioneering the development of a new model of psilocybin therapy, in which our proprietary formulation of synthetic psilocybin, COMP360, is administered in conjunction with psychological support. COMP360 has been designated a Breakthrough Therapy by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and we have completed a phase IIb clinical trial of psilocybin therapy for TRD, in 22 sites across Europe and North America. This was the largest randomised, controlled, double-blind psilocybin therapy clinical trial ever conducted, and our topline data showed a statistically significant (p<0.001) and clinically relevant improvement in depressive symptom severity after three weeks for patients who received a single high dose of COMP360 psilocybin with psychological support. We are also running a phase II clinical trial of COMP360 psilocybin therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). COMPASS is headquartered in London, UK, with offices in New York and San Francisco in the US. Our vision is a world of mental wellbeing. www.compasspathways.com
