Irish Poker and Horse Racing Icon Noel Furlong Dies at 83
The only Irishman to ever win the WSOP Main Event, Noel Furlong, has died at the age of 83.

The businessman, who had a knack for gambling, passed away "peacefully at home" on Sunday, according to members of his family.
Furlong was a familiar face on the Irish poker scene, but was as successful away from the felt as he was on it. In addition to starting a multi-million-euro business, Furlong Flooring, he was a horse racing trainer responsible for multiple top-class hurdlers, including Destriero.
Furlong passes peacefully
Although the cause of death hasn't been made public, the implication from his family's statement is that he died of natural causes. A funeral will take place in Dublin, Ireland, on Thursday and, according to the Irish Times, well-wishers can watch online.
Condolences were shared on social media ahead of Furlong's final farewell. As Ireland's leading all-time money winner before the online poker boom, he was a popular figure. Fellow Irishman and poker pro, Padraig Parkinson, was one of the first to post his thoughts on Twitter. Reliving the good times in his own irreverent way, Parkinson took the opportunity to tell some stories involving his friend.
Sorry to hear Noel Furlong 1999 WSOP winner died on Sunday. RIP.
— Padraig Parkinson (@padraigpoker) June 29, 2021
The standout tale involved Parkinson, Furlong, Jesse May, and a horse race in France. Parkinson was in Paris and Furlong called to ask for weather updates. After the third day of asking, Parkinson asked why. Furlong said he wanted to make a seven-figure bet on a certain horse if it didn't rain.
Parkinson "lumped on" the horse Furlong told him about. Fortunately for him, it didn't rain. Unfortunately for him, the horse didn't win.
Devastating news, gentleman. Used to pop around to see him on occasion, always welcoming. Legend of greyhound racing, horse racing and poker. Sadly missed #RIP big fella
— Roy B (@RoyTheBoyF1) June 29, 2021
The crazy hand that made Furlong a million
The third person in the story, poker commentator Jesse May, recounted his own memories of Furlong on Twitter.
His favorite comes from Furlong's winning run in the 1999 WSOP Main Event. He'd final tabled the $10,000 tournament 10 years earlier but, according to May, he still didn't take the game "too serious." In fact, he was only in Las Vegas for the WSOP because he was heading home from a business trip in California. The decision to swing by Sin City turned out to be one of the best he'd ever made.
Very sorry to hear that as well – here are a couple of vintage low-resolution images of you and Noel from the 1999 ME final table. Still watch it a couple of times a year. pic.twitter.com/t37mVc2UON
— JD Terhart (@jdterhart) June 29, 2021
Fast-forward to the final table at Binion's where Furlong had the chip lead with six players remaining. However, his five opponents, including Erik Seidel, Johnny Chan, and rising star Huck Seed, weren't going to make things easy for him.
Seed was second in chips and the man everyone was trying to avoid; everyone except Furlong. Seed limped under-the-gun and, Furlong, who was next to act, put in a raise. The action folded back to Seed who moved all-in. The massive over-bet should have been enough to scare any hand apart from kings or aces.
However, owing to the previous day's play, the Irishman smelled a rat. He called with A♥ 3♥. Seed tabled J♦ 8♦ and, after missing the board, he was out.
Never forget reading about that hand v Huck wsop final table and thinking even in our day that whole hand was insane. Then years later asking u about it & u talking me thru the history of Noel & Huck to that hand & learned Noel was a stone cold killer poker player Irish legend.
— Paul Spillane (@paulspills) June 29, 2021
Right or wrong, the call worked in Furlong's favor as he went on to win the $1 million top prize. The call was also a reflection of his canny nature. As a businessman and a horse racing trainer, Furlong knew when to gamble and, on that occasion, he was right.
For that hand and many more, Noel Furlong will be remembered fondly not just by the Irish poker community, but by players around the world.

Being someone who drives around to some of the more commercial and industrial parts of town, I have found some Lime Scooters in some odd area and I have to wonder why.
I found a number of them on 34th Street between Ave. A and I-27. The majority of this area is very industrial. There's very little housing in the area.
Now don't get me wrong, people from all areas and all walks of life need transportation, but in an area that is more than 90 percent industrial, I really wonder why they would put scooters out there where they are probably not in high demand. Especially when there are other parts of town that you can never find them.
While I was at the Stripes at 34th and I-27, I saw a couple in a beat up old car loading up six of them in that area, looking suspicious, then tearing up the street to leave. The scooters never came back. (Lime states that you can only charge three at a time.) Makes you wonder.
I have also seen the scooters near the old strip, near the DPS office on North MLK and near Woodrow.
Have you seen any of these scooters in odd areas? Let us know.

Forthcoming mass redundancies at Tele Danmark: the Danish telecom sector in transformation
Topic: Restructuring Industrial action Health and well-being at work Working conditions Working conditions and sustainable work
Published on: 27 February 1997
Petersen, Kåre F.V.
Liberalisation, increased competition and the introduction of new technologies have forced the Danish telecom operator - Tele Danmark- to reduce its staff by 2,500 employees. Widespread strikes, involving some 7,000 employees, followed the announcement on 29 January 1997. Employees and trade unions have criticised the passive role of the state and the behaviour of Tele Danmark. After 15 days of conflict, Tele Danmark agreed to negotiate a retraining package for its employees, put forward by the telecom workers' union. The next negotiating meeting was due to take place on 12 March 1997.
On 29 January 1997, Tele Danmark informed its employees of its decision to reduce staff by 2,500 and take on 500 new employees. The decision, which was due to come into effect by mid-1998, is part of an efficiency plan, which will cut annual costs by DKK 600 million and implement major organisational changes.
The long-awaited dismissals in Tele Danmark are an attempt to adjust a former state monopoly to a telecommunications market which is characterised by increased liberalisation and competition; hence the need to introduce new technologies. Tele Danmark was founded in 1990 as a semi-privatised telecom operator, with the Danish Government holding 51% of the shares. Decisions on future state involvement must await new telecom legislation in June 1997.
Competition within the telecom sector increased in 1995, as a consequence of the decision by the EU Council of Ministers, in June 1993 and November 1994, to liberalise the EU telecom sector. Before the liberalisation in November 1994, 33% of Tele Danmark's revenues came from business activities subject to competition. In early 1995 the figure was 92%. According to the newspaper, Jyllandsposten, a note presented to the board of directors, prior to the decision to dismiss 2,500 employees, showed that Tele Danmark's average growth performance was lower than its competitors. However, a survey conducted by the newspaper, Berlingske Tidende, on 7 February 1997 questioned whether Tele Danmark's performance was really as poor as had been suggested. The company refused to comment on the findings of the survey.
Widespread strikes and the role of the state
Although employees were expecting staff reductions, the decision came as a shock, resulting in widespread strikes. Nearly half of the 16,000 employees at Tele Danmark were involved, according to the company. The radical changes in telecoms - as well as in the postal, banking and shipping sectors - could inflate the number of industrial disputes in 1997, following 1996, when the number of strikes in Denmark was 70% lower than the year before.
Employees and unions criticised the passive role of the state and the failure on the part of Tele Danmark to introduce a retraining and redeployment programme. Employees came out strongly against what they saw as the passive role of the Government, calling on the Minister of Research and Information Technology to intervene on the employees' behalf. However, the Minister, Jytte Hilden, refused to intervene, stating that the Government expected Tele Danmark to adapt to market pressures without any kind of political intervention. She called the proposals at Tele Danmark necessary, but deplorable. She was confident that management would implement the changes according to the rules governing the Danish industrial relations; thus she expected that employee representatives would be constructively involved in the forthcoming negotiations.
Hans Jensen, the president of the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), called it "madness" that the Government, as a major shareholder, should accept such massive redundancies when the Government itself had to finance the payment of unemployment benefit to the redundant employees. The Danish Government is a major contributor to the unemployment insurance funds.
Retraining and older workers policy
Shop stewards criticised management for not retraining and redeploying existing employees, rather than recruiting new employees to take their place. They suspect that management is simply executing a strategy aimed at reducing the number of older and part-time employees, and recruiting young, well-educated employees. Tele Danmark refutes this criticism, pointing to a press release issued on 4 February 1997 in which management stated that it had undertaken 40,000 retraining courses annually. In 1995, the average age of an employee at Tele Danmark was 42, with an average length of service of 16 years.
The vice-chair of the parliamentary labour market committee, Aage Frandsen from the Socialist Peoples' Party (SF) demanded that Jytte Hilden should investigate the exact content of the 40,000 courses and what efforts had been made to retrain the employees concerned. However, Tele Danmark refused to release the requested information because of its confidential nature.
Hans Jensen, the president of LO, strongly criticised the management of Tele Danmark; in a statement to the Danish newspaper Politiken, he maintained that only a company with a poor training record would deem it necessary to dismiss employees while recruiting new employees at the same time. This, he stated, was a clear-cut example of how not to run a modern company.
The Danish Union of Telecommunication Workers (TKF), with 13,000 members, demanded that:
any redundancies should take place through voluntary arrangements;
the 500 new positions should be filled by retraining and redeploying existing employees;
ele Danmark should work out a training and education plan for each employee; and
the company should formulate a company policy for older employees.
After 15 days of conflict, an extraordinary meeting between management and TKF on 13 February 1997 produced a form of agreement. Tele Danmark agreed to further talks on the proposal on increased retraining for employees which had been put forward by TKF. After the meeting the president of TKF, Bo Stenør Larsen, made a statement to the newspaper, Aktuelt that he was not too optimistic, but he did point out that management had the will to negotiate. The next meeting was due to take place on 12 March 1997.
The question of companies' training policies and the need to formulate policies for older employees now feature at the top of the political agenda in Denmark. At a high-level conference on 28 November 1996, the Prime Minister, Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, emphasised the importance of maintaining older employees in the labour force, and called for the social partners to incorporate such initiatives into collective agreements. The context is demographic change and the increasing number of workers withdrawing from the labour market at an early age.
In March 1997, the Ministry of Labour was due to launch a four-month national campaign on retraining and planning, targeting 17,000 companies. The primary objective is to enhance the awareness of the need to perceive retraining and planning as a natural part of working life. Both the Danish Employers' Confederation (DA) and LO have given their support to the campaign. Surveys show that 60% of Danish companies do carry out planning on retraining their employees.
The forthcoming redundancies at Tele Danmark is the first sign of the radical changes caused by the liberalisation of the Danish telecom sector. According to the newspaper, Børsens Nyhedsmagasin, analysts within the telecom sector expect that Tele Danmark must reduce its workforce by an additional 4,000 employees before 2000. In the light of the future competition, it is quite natural, according to the head of information at Tele Danmark, Kim Ruberg, that "we are an organisation which must constantly adapt". When such workforce reductions will eventually take place, and the precise numbers involved, is hard to predict.
By the beginning of 1998 the EU's telecom sector is due fully to be fully liberalised, and the employment impact is likely to be substantial according to an independent study carried out by French consultants BIPE Conseil on behalf of the European Commission and published in January 1997. Rapid telecom liberalisation could lead to the creation or maintenance of up to 1.3 million jobs across the EU economy by 2005. Within the telecom sector itself, the report suggests that traditional operators could lose up to 286,000 jobs, but that this will be offset by job creation in the telecom sector as a whole - by new operators, for example - which could lead to the net creation or maintenance of up to 93,000 jobs for the whole sector. The report is intended to feed into the current major debate based on the Commission's 1996 Green Paper on the social aspects of the "information society", which should lead to the formulation of an action plan during 1997.

Mohave County Public Defender Dana Hlavac was named Arizona's top rural attorney.
Hlavac received the William Rothstein Arizona Rural County Attorney of the Year Award at the Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice's winter seminar held Jan. 25 to 26 in Prescott.
"This is definitely an honor," Hlavac said, "but, in a lot of ways, it's one that I feel that I am just doing my job.
"I don't know that people should get awards for just doing their jobs.
"It was a very difficult situation that Mohave County was in," Hlavac added. "Under similar circumstances, a lot of times people would just say they want to get along, go along and not stand up for what is right. But that's not me. I had to do the right thing."
The annual award is given to rural county attorneys based off of their performance and contribution to criminal justice, Diane Meyers, AACJ member, said in a news release.
"One of the reasons Dana won was certainly for his courage during the recent budget crisis in your county," Meyers said.
"He declined to take new cases that would have jeopardized his office's ability to represent defendants effectively."
Meyers of the Phoenix law firm Osborn Maledon represented Hlavac pro-bono during that case.
"He led a courageous fight to ensure his clients receive the representation they are entitled to and his young attorneys receive the kind of support and mentoring that will make them better able to serve the clients in the county, in the long run," Myers said. "His decision was courageous and showed a lot of integrity. Most public defenders do not do what he did. They would be afraid of losing their jobs."
The 125 members attending the seminar gave Hlavac a standing ovation when he received the award, AACJ Executive Director Ellen Salvesen said.
"He is a person who always tries to do the right thing," Salvesen added.
AACJ President Christopher Dupont of the law firm of Trautman Dupont presided over the awards ceremony.
"He was at great personal risk," Dupont said. "He had pressure from judges and pressure from his bosses at the Supervisors' offices.
"I think Dana sees this as just doing his job - and he does it very well," Dupont added. "He has the highest ethical standards. This just shows the Constitution applies in small counties as much as big ones. He has the courage and commitment to stand up for the Constitution."
The organization, incorporated in 1986, named the award after a Nogales criminal attorney. They are an affiliate of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and are comprised of 450 members across the state.
"I feel humble and I am honored," Hlavac said. "I've been there (AACJ) and I've heard the things said about other winners. ... To be in that group is certainly an honor and sets the bar high for me to continue to uphold that standard."

Q: javafx ListView with custom cell factory not retaining the selected cell I have a controlsfx CheckListView (even same issue with javafx ListView control) where i want to display RadioButtons instead of CheckBox. So i implemented custom cell factory by taking help from few javafx tutorials, and it is working.
The problem is i selected the first radio button and scroll down a little so that few of my top radio button will be scrolled up and not visible now.  Then again i scrolled up, the selection is gone now.
I debug the code understand that new cells are getting created every time and that leads to this issue but unfortunately can't figure out the solution.
I'm attaching a sample code which i got it from stack overflow which is having the same problem.

                setGraphic(radioButton);
            }
        }
    }
}

Please need ur help in this.(I'm using javafx 8)

A: You should create a single radio button for the cell (instead of creating a new one each time updateItem(...) is called, and update its selected state in the updateItem(...) method using appropriate logic from your data representation.
private class RadioListCell extends ListCell<String> {

    private final RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton();

    RadioListCell() {
        radioButton.setToggleGroup(group);
        // Add listeners here...
    }

    @Override
    public void updateItem(String obj, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(obj, empty);
        if (empty) {
            setText(null);
            setGraphic(null);
        } else {
            radioButton.setText(obj);

            radioButton.setSelected(...);

            setGraphic(radioButton);
        }
    }
}

For example:
import java.util.Objects;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;

import javafx.scene.control.ListView;

import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class RadioButtonListView extends Application {

    public static final ObservableList<String> names = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
    private ToggleGroup group = new ToggleGroup();

    private String selectedName ;

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("List View Sample");

        final ListView<String> listView = new ListView<>();
        listView.setPrefSize(200, 250);
        listView.setEditable(true);

        names.addAll("Adam", "Alex", "Alfred", "Albert", "Brenda", "Connie", "Derek", "Donny", "Lynne", "Myrtle", "Rose", "Rudolph", "Tony", "Trudy", "Williams", "Zach");

        listView.setItems(names);
        listView.setCellFactory(param -> new RadioListCell());
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(listView);
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 200, 250));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    private class RadioListCell extends ListCell<String> {

        private final RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton();

        RadioListCell() {
            radioButton.setToggleGroup(group);
            radioButton.selectedProperty().addListener((obs, wasSelected, isNowSelected) -> {
                if (isNowSelected) {
                    selectedName = getItem();
                }
            });
        }

Ghostbusters: 10 Best Peter Venkman Quotes
by Tim Buckler
Peter Venkman is one of the most beloved heroes in movie history, but you think about it he isn't really a nice guy. He shocks his students for dubious means, he exploits his friend's finances, he tries to date his terrified clients and he only seems to be interested in saving the day if there is a big fat paycheck involved.
So what is about Dr.Venkman that makes him so endearing? Maybe it's his way with words and his whimsical, sometimes cynical but always hysterical outlook on life. Peter Venkman proved to geeks that you can be a both an oddball and cool at the same time. Here are ten of his best quotes!

Click the button below to start this article in quick view
10 "We've Been Going About This All Wrong, This Mr. Stay Puft Is Ok, He's A Sailor, He's In New York, We Get This Guy Laid We Won't Have Any Trouble!"
During the Ghostbusters battle with Gozer, the mythical being vanishes and asks the boys to "Choose the form of the Destructor!' Trying to clear their minds of any thought, it is Ray who has a sudden memory from summer camp "just pop in there", and Gozer returns in the form of a towering Stay Puft Marsh Mellow Man.
Whilst the giant squidgy sailor mascot goes about fulfilling his destructor moniker, the Ghostbusters try to formulate a plan to take it down. Peter's suggestion may not be practical, but it is funny.
9 "Back Off Man, I'm A Scientist."
The Ghostbusters aren't your typical action heroes. They don't rely on martial arts, fast cars or machine guns to save the day. They use their minds to best their foes and showed a generation of children that you don't have to be the fastest, strongest or best looking to be awesome.
So when questioning the librarian towards the start of the first movie, they are interrupted when the interrogation might be starting to get a little too personal. Peter's response went on to become a slogan used by doctors, physicists, biologist and all kinds of science experts around the world!

8 "Valentines Day. Bummer."
At the beginning of Ghostbusters II, we catch up with the gang after a five year period from the events of Gozer. Venkman has decided to capitalize on his new found celebrity and starts his own talk show "The World Of Psychic."
The legitimacy of Peter's guests physic abilities is dubious at best. The featured episode is focusing on the end of the world, and when guest Elaine reveals the doomsday date she learned an alien she met at a Holiday Inn is February 14th, 2016, Dr. Venkman stares directly at the camera and shares his dismay to the viewing audience with this heartfelt line, going on to become a meme for any singleton during the day of love.
7 "Why Worry, Each One Of Us Is Carrying An Unlicensed Nuclear Accelerator On His Back."
This line is great for a couple of reasons. First of all, it set's up to the hilarious visual joke of Egon firing up Ray's proton pack for the first time and stepping back as far as he can in the elevator due to the intense noise that the ghoulie catching device makes as it comes to life.
The second reason is in one sentence we know how proton packs are powered, we know they're dangerous and that they might not be altogether legal, setting up plot points for later in the film.
6 "Sometimes, S**t happens, and who you gonna call?"
At one point in Ghostbusters II, the gang ends up having to defend themselves in court for supernatural investigation. When Loius Tully turns out to not be necessarily the best defense lawyer in the world ("Very good Louis, short but pointless") It's up to Peter to take to the stand and just say it how it is.
A few moments later, when s***t does actually end up going down thanks to the supernatural arrival of executed gangsters "The Scoleri Brothers", the Ghostbusters take the opportunity to prove Venkman's point.
RELATED: Everything We Know (So Far) About Ghostbusters 2020
5 Nobody Steps On A Church In My Town!
Mr. Staypuft Marshmellow Man might be a sailor in New York looking for a good time, but that doesn't stop his wave of destruction terrorizing the city.
As Gozer's final form smashes and crashes its way through the streets, it ends up crushing a church under its gigantic foot. This sends Peter into a rage and he ends up shouting this line at the behemoth while the rest of the gang stand around, to terrified for rational thought.
4 "Let's Suck In The Guts Guys, We're The Ghostbusters."
There's something strange in the neighborhood, namely at the art museum where Peter's ex-girlfriend Dana Barret has taken up employment in Ghostbusters II.
Arriving on the scene to investigate the painting of feared war monger Vigo The Carpathian, The Ghostbusters line up standing next to each other for an iconic shot. However, as previously mentioned none of them are in the most athletic of shape, prompting direction from Venkman to help them appear more classically heroic.
3 "Dogs and Cats Living Together, Mass Hysteria!"
After being sent to Jail thanks to environmental lawyer Walter Peck (more on him in a second) the Ghostbusters work out that Dana's apartment building was built by a mad cult leader after World War One, and is actually designed as a gateway to bring the evil Gozer into our dimension!
Now all our heroes have to do is convince Mayor Lenny to set them free from prison! The list of old testament apocalyptic events including fire and brimstone, rivers and seas boiling, forty years of darkness, earthquakes and volcanoes and the dead rising from the grave are listed by our four main heroes one by one, leaving Venkman to end it with the topper that natures most enduring rivalry may, in fact, end up living together in perfect harmony!

2 "Yes, It's true. This Man Has No D***k."
Taken to the mayor's office after Ghostbusters HQ is converted into "spook central" thanks to the actions of Walter Peck, The Ghostbusters are forced to defend themselves from the blame being thrown at them.
When Ray explains that "everything was fine with our systems until the power grid was shut off by d***kless here" Peck retorts with "They caused an explosion!"
The Mayor asks Peter if this is true. In what could have been a moment to help diffuse the situation, Venkman can't resist to opportunity for a one-liner and things explode into a near riot.
1 "Let's Show This Prehistoric B**ch How We Do Things Downtown…THROW IT!"
Climbing their way up 19 floors in order to confront Gozer, the Ghostbusters first tactic is to speak with the "Lord Of Seboullia" and maybe even try to reason with it.
After that plan fails and Gozer tries to blow the four off of the rooftop, they realize that now is the time for action. After commanding the team grab their sticks (HOLDING!) Heat' em up (SMOKIN'!) and to make them hard (READY) all that's left is to give the final word and unleash the power off the proton packs upon the enemy, starting off one of the most memorable final battles in cinematic history.

Malaria Week Diary
New funding collaboration aims to fill Asia Pacific health financing gap
A new funding partnership has been announced between the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The new collaboration, captured in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) exchanged between the two organizations, aims to increase overall levels of health sector financing, helping to build more resilient health systems.
In his Malaria Week presentation, Günther Maté, Principal Specialist at the ADB, highlighted the funding dilemma many countries face: Despite domestic health budgets, loans and grants, health systems are ailing or underfunded, and unable to cope with anticipated future demands. The new collaboration aims to address health funding gaps by allowing countries to 'leverage' additional funding alongside Global Fund grants. The overall aim is to allow countries to move towards more reliable and sustainable health funding approaches.
In addition to increasing funding, closer cooperation and sharing of health system-related knowledge are predicted to improve alignment of objectives and operational plans, as well as create opportunities for enhancing procurement systems, program delivery, streamlined reporting and data collection.
Through a system of increased 'blended' financing – which brings together ADB loans and Global Fund grants – countries will also benefit through lower administration and interest costs, and should be able to use the pooled resources to attract additional funding.
2017–2020 Global Fund Asia Pacific grants already amount to more than $2 billion to countries. The new collaboration will provide access to significant additional financing. The current ADB strategy commits to health sector investments to between 3% AND 5% of the bank's total operations, or about $1 billion in health investments by 2020.
The Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance (APLMA) applauded the new regional health financing health financing initiative.
"We know that for countries in our region there is a funding gap between what is needed to eliminate malaria and what is available," said Dr Ben Rolfe CEO of APLMA. "This MOU will make it easier for countries to access new funding sources that are critical as we work towards elimination by 2030."
The Global Fund/ADB agreement supports the financing, design, and implementation of country-led programs to fight HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, and build resilient health systems in ADB member countries eligible for Global Fund financing.

Dartmoor Cemetery is een Britse militaire begraafplaats met gesneuvelden uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog, gelegen in de Franse gemeente Bécordel-Bécourt (departement Somme). De begraafplaats werd ontworpen door Edwin Lutyens en ligt aan de Rue de Bécourt op ruim 300 m ten noordoosten van het dorpscentrum (Église Saint Vaast). Ze heeft een langwerpig en onregelmatig grondplan en wordt omsloten door een bakstenen muur, afgedekt met witte dekstenen. In de zuidelijke hoek staat het Cross of Sacrifice en de Stone of Remembrance staat in een gebogen uitbouw (apsis) van de muur in de westelijke hoek van de begraafplaats. De open toegang aan de straatzijde wordt gemarkeerd door zes witte paaltjes, verbonden door kettingen.

Er liggen 768 doden begraven waaronder 6 niet geïdentificeerde.

De begraafplaats wordt onderhouden door de Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Geschiedenis
Dartmoor Cemetery werd in augustus 1915 aangelegd (oorspronkelijk als Becordel-Becourt Military Cemetery) en gebruikt door de bataljons die dat deel van de frontlinie in de regio in handen hadden. De naam van de begraafplaats werd in mei 1916 op verzoek van het 8th en 9th Battalion van het Devonshire Regiment gewijzigd. In september 1916 werd een veldhospitaal (Main Dressing Station) van het XV Corps in de buurt opgericht, maar in de loop van 1917 werd de begraafplaats nauwelijks gebruikt.
Op 26 maart 1918 kwam het dorp tijdens het Duitse lenteoffensief in hun handen, maar werd op 24 augustus daaropvolgend door de 12th Division heroverd.

Onder de geïdentificeerde doden zijn er 629 Britten, 70 Australiërs, 59 Nieuw-Zeelanders en 4 Canadezen.

Graven
 Henry Webber, luitenant bij het South Lancashire Regiment was 67 jaar toen hij op 21 september 1916 sneuvelde. Hij is de oudste gekende militair die in deze oorlog sneuvelde.
 sergeant George Lee en korporaal Robert Frederick Lee, beide dienend bij de Royal Field Artillery, waren vader en zoon die op dezelfde dag (5 september 1916) sneuvelden en liggen naast elkaar begraven.

Onderscheiden militairen
 James Miller, soldaat bij het King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment) werd onderscheiden met het Victoria Cross (VC).
 onderluitenant Gavin Douglas Alexander (New Zealand Engineers), compagnie sergeant-majoor George Masson (Seaforth Highlanders) en de sergeanten E. Breeze (Lincolnshire Regiment) en Robert Prevett (Royal Sussex Regiment) werden onderscheiden met de Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM).
 de kapiteins W. Campbell (Royal Army Medical Corps) en Frederick Wilkinson Crofts (London Regiment), luitenant Alan Scrivener Lloyd (Royal Field Artillery) en regiment sergeant-majoor F. Duckworth (East Lancashire Regiment) werden onderscheiden met het Military Cross (MC).
 nog 14 militairen werden onderscheiden met de Military Medal (MM).

Alias
 soldaat Sammy Woolfson diende onder het alias S. Ellis bij de Seaforth Highlanders.

Minderjarige militairen
 sergeant Clarence Norman Tanner, korporaal G.R. Brown, kanonnier Edward Gordon Brown, bugelspeler William Edward Howell en de soldaten Walter Richmond, Horace Gordon Holmes, Charles Dawson, C.E. Cowland, A. Bayes en J.T. Ambler waren 17 jaar toen ze stierven.

Gefusilleerde militair
 soldaat John Joseph Sweeney (Otago Regiment (NZEF)) werd wegens desertie op 2 oktober 1916 gefusilleerd. Hij was 37 jaar.

Elk Horn's Danish windmill was built in 1848 in Norre Snede, Denmark. This mill and others like it in Denmark and throughout Europe were used to grind grain into flour for farmers in neighboring communities.
Unfortunately the vast majority of mills of this kind (called a smock mill) are deteriorating throughout Europe. This is because technology has come up with more efficient ways to grind grain, and windmills such as this are commonplace in Europe.
Because of the deterioration of mills in Europe and especially Denmark, Harvey Sornson thought that Elk Horn should bring a Danish Windmill to Iowa. He chose Elk Horn because it has one of the largest concentrations of Danes in the United States. He also thought that it would be a great way to celebrate our country's bicentennial, and would help keep a small town from dying.
It was a "crazy idea," but many local people soon supported it. A town meeting was held and in a few days, $30,000 had been raised. It seems these Danes were not as "tight" as people often accused them of being.
Pictured here is the 2000 lb.
While Harvey and the other interested citizens were out trying to raise more money, a carpenter in Denmark was beginning to dismantle the windmill in Norre Snede.
In order for us to know how to reassemble the mill, this Danish carpenter built a scale model of the windmill that had a piece which represented each timber in the 60 ft. mill. All of the beams in the 60 ft. mill and it's 6 ft. cousin were numbered so that all we had to do was put the pieces of the puzzle back into the correct spots.
On February 4, 1976 the pieces of the mill arrived from Denmark. The reconstruction project was long and tedious. Over 300 volunteers showed their support for this project by lending a hand in the work. Because of this support, no hired help was required.
Some of the beams had become rotten from over 120 years of exposure to Denmark's ever changing climate and had to be replaced. The cost of replacing those beams along with the cost of the crane work made the project of buying the windmill, having it taken down, shipping it to Elk Horn, and reconstructing it worth nearly $100,000, and that was in 1976!
Now Elk Horn is host to the only authentic, working, Danish windmill in America. Shortly after this one was moved, a law was passed in Denmark stating that no more mills were allowed out of the country.
In the 30 years that Elk Horn has enjoyed this mill, it has become one of the most popular and successful tourist attractions in Iowa. Due in part to its location just a few miles north of interstate 80, and the fact that it is now an official Iowa Welcome Center.

Thats the reality now neither can you see AFL or NRL in full FTA.

I'm not wedded to Rugby staying on Foxtel, they have taken Rugby for granted for years and treated it like a 3rd rate sport. But at least they cover all of the Rugby, SR, all tests, the RC, 6N, NZ Mitre 10 Cup etc. As a Rugby fan they provide all the content I want. I will have to pay more under the proposed new agreement because I'll need to subscribe to Stan as well as pay for my Foxtel scubscription.
Stan is worth subscribing to even without the rugby, tbh. Their offering is very good.

I season link Selling Homes Australia, Bar Rescue etc. I watch Hells Kitchen and all the Anthony Bourdain seasons. Foxtel has quite a bit of content.
Used to have Foxtel years ago and it was bad then. I take a 3rd feed off my folks in Adelaide, you are allowed 3 devices. So I can watch their rugby but wont pay for it. Used to stream a bit but not sure how reliable that is now.
Movies are a complete waste of time.
Its gone full Murdoch with Sky news freaks and even the evangelical channels that have exploded is bizarre, who watches that shit here?
Music channels used to be great, ch V and some great club music but again, its gone all RnB/country/bad 80s
Just checked, Stan Premium is only $19 per month. I pay $118 per month for my current Foxtel subscription. Fml.
You might be the only bloke in Australia getting value out of Foxtel. Surprised you have the requisite time for all that. After sport I watch a couple of movies a week, and thats it.
I had a sub on 50-60 bucks a month when rugby started on Fox and a bit more with Austar in the NT after that but over $100 a month!!!

Yeah I just checked to be certain. It's in my wife's name. We have the full package but I'm thinking we are still getting gouged. We get our Foxtel through Telstra which might make it more expensive?
Dropping movies helps always found them on high rotation and little new stuff.
I think you need to get rid of it and find shows you like on Stan. Buy your family a steak dinner every week with the spare dosh you'll have.

Foxtel still sees itself as a premium product which it isnt

Yeah I might give that a crack. We don't watch Foxtel movies but have them available so that's a waste of money. Very rarely we will purchase a movie via their Store, which costs around $7 a pop.

What the hell is 'Stan' when he's home? How can you equate that to free-to-air coverage? Some obscure subscription website is almost worse than hiding it on Foxtel.

The FTA element is Saturday afternoon on Channel 9 every week. Stan is the digital streaming option offered by Channel 9, and will show all the other games via that service.
Stan has 2 million subscribers already, by the way. Thats more than Foxtel.

Looks like the Nine offer is firming up. A few details within
Looks like we need to start being nice to the Saffers though, to woo them back.
Nine offers $30 million for rugby union broadcast rights
Super Rugby union matches could be on free-to-air television live for the first time next year after Nine Entertainment Co lodged a $30 million bid for the broadcast rights aimed at wresting the game away from pay-TV group Foxtel.
Industry sources familiar with Rugby Australia's discussions with media companies who requested anonymity said Nine had offered to pay about $30 million a year in cash and free advertising. The television, publishing and digital company decided late last week to offer more cash than free advertising to sweeten the deal. Nine declined to comment. RA declined to comment.
Under Nine's proposal, one Super Rugby match would be on the network each week. All other games would appear on Stan.
Rugby Australia has struggled to grow the game due to a lack of exposure and poor recent performances by the Wallabies. It wants more matches on a free-to-air television network to build the sport's audience. All Super Rugby games are broadcast on Foxtel and subscription streaming service Kayo, making it difficult for the governing body to reach all potential fans.
Under the deal Nine (owner of this masthead) would broadcast Wallabies Tests, the Rugby Championship and one game a week of Super Rugby on its television network. All other matches would sit behind a paywall on Nine's subscription streaming service Stan. Industry sources said Rugby Australia is likely to make a decision on the broadcast deal at a Board meeting this week.
Former RA boss Raelene Castle was eager to get more free-to-air coverage for the sport to grow the sport's audience. Nine's offer is smaller than the bid incumbent broadcaster Foxtel made nearly two weeks ago. Industry sources familiar with the talks previously said Foxtel had offered between $35-$40 million for the matches despite previous claims the pay TV operator did not believe the sport was worth that much. However, some Foxtel sources indicated they offered less than $35 million. Foxtel pays between $30 million to $40 million a year for the rights but was hoping to renegotiate price in the same way it landed new deals with the AFL and NRL.
Nine is hoping to do a deal with Rugby Australia for the broadcast rights to Super Rugby, Wallabies matches and the National Rugby Championship.
Foxtel has broadcast rugby games in Australia for two decades. The broadcaster, which runs Fox Sports, offered to sign a new five-year deal late last year but discussions fell apart earlier this year over the pricing. Foxtel has also reduced its rugby commentary budget in recent years and no longer has a mid-week show.
When talks first fell apart between RA and Foxtel earlier this year, Ms Castle approached Nine about a bid. A successful bid by Nine would also change the positioning of streaming service Stan, which currently runs international and local drama and film. Stan currently has 2 million subscribers, a large audience base for rugby union to try and attract. Kayo had 600,000 subscribers in September.
Any deal with the Nine would be short-term but if the involvement of Stan proves a success, it could open up the potential for other sports rights negotiations to include the streaming service in future. Such a move would put pressure on Foxtel which is heavily dependent on sport for subscribers.
Nine is the second free-to-air broadcaster to make an offer for the rights. Network Ten bid broadcast the Wallabies Tests last month but offered less than the $3.5 million a year it currently pays. Ten does not want to pay large amounts for the rights because of declining audiences. In 2015, the average audience for international Tests on Network Ten was about 345,000. In 2019 the audience figure was 194,000 and a lack of audience often results in less appeal for advertisers.
Network Ten's chief sales officer Rod Prosser said last week low-rating sport was of no benefit to the broadcaster. "Sport obviously attract advertisers, and particularly blue chip advertisers in droves. What our clients are mostly in now is the audience [a sport] delivers. Having a low rating sport, just for the sake of sport, is of no benefit to me."
One caveat on the value of the rights will be whether South Africa continues to participate in the Rugby Championship next year. South Africa confirmed last week it would not play in this year's tournament but rugby sources have indicated it is considering playing in a Northern Hemisphere competition next year. The Rugby Championship is a highly lucrative competition for the governing body and the absence of South Africa will reduce its value. Interim RA boss Rob Clarke said late last week he was confident that the Springboks would not exit the Rugby Championship for good from next year.
Foxtel, Ten and BSkyB are at the end of a $285m five-year deal with RA signed in 2015. Securing a new deal is crucial for the financial security of the code (a large amount of RA's revenue comes from broadcasters).

shanky,
grievous posted that exact article on page 1.
Stan has 2.2 million subscribers and really good growth
By the way AC - you're getting robbed by Foxtell.
I've got Netflix and Kayo (split the account fees with my brother- maybe $20/month for both). Amazon Prime is about $7/ month and Stan is $10. With those of get way more content, all on demand, than you would. Also get free delivery, music and kindle books from Amazon.
Foxtell is the past, Streaming is the future.

Yep Foxtel was a rip off. The only problem is people would need to have home internet to have Stan. So despite showing one game a week on FTA, RA may end up depriving it's audience of games. Foxtel have the added advantage of having a pool of sports fans as subscribers. Will Stan be at pubs and clubs?

You could probably get Binge (HBOs Shows etc) along with Stan and Kayo, and I think there's a reality tv channel out there that might have the other stuff you like and you'll still be saving crap loads.

Yep, Foxtel really only hold two exclusive packages - HBO content and sport, and now both are available via their cheaper streaming subsidiaries...
The same movies they carry are simultaneously uploaded to one of the other streaming services.
Foxtel is an overpriced, redundant model of watching television.

The only 'quality' content cable tv has is the content that doesn't suit the steaming business model. That is, stuff that's live. A SOO game might be worth $15m live, but the next day it's worth $15. Netflix and co don't want it and pour their cash into the other stuff. This means the only good content that FTA and PayTV have left is News, Sport and the stuff they make themselves.
So they've been paying whatever they have to in order to get it. Otherwise they're dead. They've been paying much more for sport than it's worth - making their money on the cheap reality crap. But less people watch FTA and PayTV every day. It's a death spiral.
I'm glad it looks like rugby is getting off the dying PayTV model; however it's hard to say what it will all look like in a few years. My bet is that sport content will be bundled into other services, like home/mobile broadband, meaning the Foxtel and their like will be goneskis. Amazon have some crazy ideas though. Who knows?

I suspect I am on the same 'platinum' plan, via Telstra, as is AC.Basically I only watch sport, the history channel, cooking type type shows (Bourdain, Masterchef), and some movies these days. I used to watch scifi but I seem to have seen it all, and the new Star Trek series aren't even on Fox. I actually don't bother much with the history channel now, because it is full of shows featuring the ancient aliens guy, and you get better, less generic stuff on youtube.
If foxtel lose the rugby I'll ask Pat to come over and help get my smart TV set up for Stan or whatever.

Stan is easier than you think. However, it might seem like a grind to learn at this stage. Rugby (and its hosting partner) must work out how to convert all the cable guys like yourself to the new world. I hope RA gets innovative with their marketing and doesn't wait for everyone to work it out for themselves. Maybe have regular spots on the FTA coverage explaining how it works - advertise a hotline for tech support for everyone - mail our step by step instructions.

Res. No. 868
Resolution calling on the New York City Department of Education to ensure the methodology for developing and scoring the Specialized High School Admissions Test, and the methodology for any future process implemented for Specialized High School admissions, be transparent and accessible to the general public.
By Council Members Powers and Lander
Whereas, The New York City (NYC) Department of Education (DOE) manages NYC's public school system, which includes more than 1,800 schools, with over 400 high schools; and
Whereas, Included within the DOE's 400 high schools, are nine Specialized High Schools (SHS), which serve students who excel academically and/or artistically; and
Whereas, In NYC, SHS are regarded as the most prestigious public schools, with students scoring at the 99th percentile of the state SAT distribution and accounting for the majority of NYC students who attend Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, according to a 2018 Brookings' report; and
Whereas, For eight of the nine SHS, admission is based solely on the score attained on a single test, the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT), while for one of these schools, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (LaGuardia), acceptance is based on an audition and a review of a student's academic records; and
Whereas, Notably, the enactment of a State law in 1971, known as the Hecht-Calandra Act, codified into law the SHS' use of a single test for admission, with the exception of LaGuardia, requiring that admission into a SHS "be solely and exclusively" gained by taking a specialized, voluntary admissions test, the SHSAT; and
Whereas, Due to the high educational standards of these schools, they are highly sought after and competitive; and
Whereas, For example, the DOE reports that approximately 27,500 NYC 8th graders took the SHSAT for admittance into one of the eight test-based SHS for the 2019-20 school year; however, only 4,798 of these students received an offer to one of the SHS as a result of their SHSAT score; and
Whereas, Despite the high demand for students to be admitted into SHS, there has been widespread discussion of the eight test-based SHS' use of a single test for admission, as many contend that considering other factors, such as student grades, will help create a fairer admissions system; and
Whereas, To support this assertion, a 2008 Arizona State University and University at Colorado at Boulder study by Dr. Joshua Feinman revealed striking flaws in the SHSAT's methodology, finding that: the SHSAT has an unusual, not widely known scoring feature that can favor those who have access to extensive test-prep tutors; thousands of students who are not accepted have scores that are statistically indistinguishable from thousands who are granted admission due to the use of less precise methods; certain versions of the SHSAT may increase the chances students have to gain admission; and no studies have ever been done to see if the SHSAT is subject to prediction bias across gender and ethnic groups; and
Whereas, Notably, the student population at these test-based SHS does not adequately represent the broader NYC high school population, which is apparent in these SHS' lack of black or Latino students (less than 10% in 2018) despite the DOE system being approximately two-thirds black or Latino over all, according to The New Yorker; and
Whereas, Thus, it is vital to ensure that the methods behind developing and scoring the SHSAT, or any future SHS admissions' methodology, be transparent and accessible, and subject to critical analysis and improvement, to help ensure that NYC's SHS are diverse and representative of the whole City; now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Council of the City of New York calls on the New York City Department of Education to ensure the methodology for developing and scoring the Specialized High School Admissions Test, and the methodology for any future process implemented for Specialized High School admissions, be transparent and accessible to the general public.
