Watching TV is not only one of our most treasured pastimes in the US, but it's something enjoyed all around the world. Whether you're watching alone, curled up on the couch with your partner, or enjoying some wholesome shows with your whole family, the TV is somewhere that everyone can get together and have some fun.
Although the TV is a staple in almost every household, the quality of the picture isn't always ideal. People suffer through subpar quality, not getting the channels they should be able to acquire, and having to get up and down on their roof or outside to adjust the TV antenna just to make the picture work.
The rotating antenna is a product designed to fix all of those problems, with an automatic rotation that can be controlled with a remote. Shopping for this simple fix isn't always as easy though, with many features to consider that could sound like a lot of technical jargon to those who aren't in the know.
This buying guide is the easy way to navigate through all of the products on the market to find the best rotating antenna for your TV. Once done, you'll have the best home entertainment system possible, access to all of the hottest channels, and a high definition picture that could rival most HDTV cable setups.
A TV rotating antenna comes with many features, and depending on your needs at home and the current setup you have, there's bound to be some more ideal for you. However, our search of the rotating TV antenna reviews has found these to be the best of the best in terms of quality, price, and user-friendliness, so any of them would do your home well.
When you're trying to save money on cable bills but don't want to miss out on any features that standard rotating antennas come with, the Vansky Outdoor Antenna is the perfect solution.
This is the most affordable rotating antenna on the market and it has the quality and key features you need to make it worthwhile.
The antenna is also weather resistant and won't even be damaged by lightning, further showing just how good its quality and construction is.
The features on this antenna make it seems like a much more expensive model, and it's capable of getting 1080p HDTV and 32dB high gain reception. You'll experience a picture as you've never seen before and best of all, it works with two separate TV connections and there's no need for a splitter.
Vansky has saved some costs for customers by not attaching a pole, so you will need to spend a few dollars more to get some PVC pipe for installation. This could put some people off, but it ends up saving you a lot of money in the long run, so if cost-cutting is important to you then you'll want to consider it.
Another point to consider is that customers weren't all too happy with the coax cable that came in this package from Vansky. Some people replaced theirs instantly and others tried to make it work first, so give yours a chance to see how it performs.
Replacing his cable will only cost a few dollars, but it does make it more work and more money overall so it's something to keep in mind.
One saving feature of this rotating antenna is the remote that comes with it. This means no more heading outside to make adjustments or wondering how to get a better picture, as you can control it all from your remote. It's completely wireless and controls the 360-degree motor rotor on the antenna, so you get full range and up to 150 miles of coverage.
Just because the cost is low for this antenna it doesn't mean it can't perform. You'll get a 150-mile radius that picks up any and every channel in the area, delivering you high definition TV without having to pay an extra cent for it.
When compared to the ongoing cost of cable or subscription streaming services, you'll potentially save hundreds of dollars a month using this rotating outdoor TV antenna.
When you're looking for a rotating digital TV antenna but know that your handyman skills aren't exactly up to par, something like the PingBingDing Rotating Antenna is your best option.
This is one of the easiest on the market to install, and although it costs a little extra compared to the competitors, you won't have to do much to get it working.
The setup of the PingBingDing Rotating Antenna is done with a snap-on installation. You'll get a detailed user manual with your antenna and it can be fully installed without any tools.
This is ideal for people who are worried about the installation process or those who'd prefer not to buy any extra parts just to get their antenna to work.
It's hard to say whether it was the fault of the antenna though and not some other obstruction or issue that's occurring in their area, as there are plenty of happy customers who loved the channel range it had.
The PingBingDing Rotating Antenna has been built to be completely weather resistant so that even when the worst weather comes rolling in you won't lose any signal. The lightning protection on the antenna also gives you peace of mind, as this is one of the biggest issues when looking for a quality outdoor antenna.
As long as you're careful during installation, it seems this antenna has been built to last and will serve you well on the rooftop for many years.
What makes this such a cool product is its wireless remote controller which comes standard with the better brands of rotating TV antennas. It has a 360-degree motor rotor in its design so it can move seamlessly around to get you the best reception. You'll also get all of the parts needed like a coaxial cable and power supply adaptor which all appear to be great quality.
This antenna seems to compare quite well to others in its price range, with the notable difference being the easy installation. If you favor this over the possibility of missing out on a few channels, you'll be thrilled with all of the features that PingBingDing Rotating Antenna has to offer and will notice an instant improvement to your TV picture quality.
If money is no object and your main priority is getting the very best resolution for your TV, you'll want to check out the Lava Omnidirectional TV Antenna.
Priced at around double what our other recommendations cost, you have to be prepared to spend big if you want this type of quality for your picture.
The Lava Omnidirectional TV Antenna works as an omnidirectional device which means it can collect signals from both directions without needing to be adjusted.
This means that once you've placed the long range antenna on your roof or wherever else you wanted it, you'll be able to sit back and enjoy the results without lifting a finger again.
This antenna has a built-in dipole that's capable of getting digital channels, as well as both UHF and VHF reception. One issue with this antenna is that it will only work for those with some distance between their homes and the tower.
Because it's a long range device, if you live too close to the tower you'll find it overshoots and will also have to invest in an indoor antenna.
Lava has added everything you need to get this set up at home, and you can choose either a wall mount or pole mount. There's an installation kit that includes a four-way splitter so more TVs can watch at once, a 40ft coax cable, and 15 cable clips that will be more than enough to set it all up.
Some of the online customers claim to have spent over half an hour trying to install this so give yourself some time to get it right.
Although this is meant to be an omnidirectional antenna, some of the reviews claim they had to adjust it every now and then to get the signal back. When you're paying this price for the privilege of an omnidirectional device, this isn't really something you want to be doing, so a rotating remote controlled one might be a better option.
This is a great choice for homes that have a little further space between them and their tower, with a range of up to 130 miles. Lava recommends a range of 40-80 miles for the best results, so if this sounds like your area then you'll no doubt get the best quality and better range of channels to choose from.
Rather than throwing away thousands of dollars on a new television, you can get better results by simply buying a new antenna. Choosing an antenna is no easy feat though, and there are plenty of features you'll have to wrap your head around to understand.
Here are some things you might want to keep on mind when you're searching for a TV antenna and what they mean to the final product.
This could either be a small or big deal for you, and those who feel they're a little more mechanically minded won't care about the installation effort. There are some simple snap together antennas that suit those who want things easier, but you have to be prepared to pay for the pleasure.
Most modern rotating antennas come with many options for frequency support including digital, UHF, and VHF, with some even having more than this. The range and frequency you require will depend on your location and what other preferences you have.
Rotating antennas are usually operational with a remote, so look for this feature to save yourself the hassle of manually adjusting it when you need a better picture.
A directional antenna faces just one way whereas omnidirectional devices go both ways. These are designed to pick up a clear picture without you having to make adjustments.
Any outdoor antenna needs to withstand the elements, and an added bonus if it's lightning resistant for safety.
The warranty period will depend on the manufacturer and the cost of the antenna, but you'll want at least 30 days to ensure that it works at picking up a signal at your home.
With so many Americans making the smart decision to cut the cord, we need all the help we can get to achieve high definition TV and a greater range of free channels. These days, there's no need to spend hundreds of dollars a month for a cable or satellite subscription especially when you can get the high definition look that these antennas can achieve.
Shopping for a rotating antenna is a cheaper option than buying a new TV, and will get you better results. Even with a modern high definition TV, if you don't have the signal strength that these antennas are capable of you won't be able to watch anything worthwhile on it anyway.
We've found you some of the best rotating TV antenna options on the market, so all that's left to do is choose one that suits your home entertainment setup. With the addition of this one simple device, you'll never need to pay a cent for pay TV services again, and will enjoy the greatness that free, high definition broadcasting has to offer.

Q: how to do loops in excel without macro :/ sorry for restarting the question but unfortunately I don't got enough reps yet to comment on a post. How to loop in excel without VBA or macros?, so my question is practically identical but with a slightly different application. I've been wondering how I can make recursive(hope I'm using this fancy word right) loops in excel without macros.
for this particular example, it'd be more of a for loop, I want to make a vlookup for each character in a cell and then concatenate the result.
ideally, id be looking for something silly like
=concatenate(array(for(A1,a,chars,vlookup(a,table,1,false))))
broken down into
=concatenate(array(for([target],[var],[attribute],vlookup([var],table,1,false))))
which would result in concatenate(vlookup(mid(A1,1,1),table,1,false),vlookup(mid(A1,2,1),table,1,false),vlookup(mid(A1,3,1),table,1,false). . . . for the character length of A1
I know what I wrote above looks retarded but that's why I'm asking the question; cause I really don't know. :P
if you're still confused as to why i want this, I currently have a sheet that turns text into code 128 barcodes using lookup tables, however, the references break every time I move it.
my current solution takes the input text, breaks each char into its own cell, apply the lookup, then recombine after a bit of math. I'm just wondering, the process is the same for each char,sooo shouldn't I be able to write it out in one neat and condensed equation using loops like i did above?
I know, i know, this process could be done with a macro but that's not my point. my question is can repetitive loops be written in excel as a formula?
Thanks

A: If you have Office 365 you can use this array formula:
=CONCAT(INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,N(IF({1},MODE.MULT(IFERROR(MATCH(MID(A1,ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),1),Sheet1!A:A,0),FALSE)*{1,1})))))

Being an array formula it needs to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
This will return the values in Column B on Sheet 1 where each Letter in A1 is found in Column A on Sheet1.
For example my sheet1 looks like this:

So the formula on returns:

Now if the data in the table is sorted on the lookup column:

Then we can use this simpler array formula:
=CONCAT(LOOKUP(MID(A1,ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),1),Sheet1!A:A,Sheet1!B:B))

Another variation, if the return is numbers then you can use SUMIF:
=CONCAT(SUMIF(Sheet1!A:A,MID(A1,ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),1),Sheet1!B:B))

As you can see the part that iterates through the word letter by letter is the:
MID(A1,ROW(INDEX(A:A,1):INDEX(A:A,LEN(A1))),1)

This part is what makes it an array formula and is available most versions of Excel.
The part that requires Office 365 is the CONCAT() wrapper.

May Days to Remember
May 2, 2019 Team Talk
It's here! Check out Twanna's curated list of holidays, awareness campaigns, and cultural celebrations taking place this month. Stay timely and learn more about the wide variety of May days to remember.
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, May 1 – 31, 2019
The last year has been a banner one for Asian American representation in pop culture! Whether it be Sandra Oh's long overdue recognition to the critical and financial success of Crazy Rich Asians, we hope to see more representation of the diverse AAPI community both on- and off-screen. During Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we reflect on the challenges and celebrate the contributions the diverse Asian American and Pacific Islander communities have made to this country. (Speaking of Crazy Rich Asians, the film's screenwriter has a lot of great things to say about inclusion in the film industry. If you missed what he said, it means you're not signed up for our founder's newsletter. Don't miss out! Sign up here.)
Hepatitis Awareness Month, May 1 – 31, 2019
Did you know that hepatitis means "inflammation of the liver"? Is most often caused by a virus? That there are five types of hepatitis viruses? If you didn't, you're not alone. The goal of Hepatitis Awareness Month is to counter misinformation and to inform people about the causes, symptoms, and effects of Hepatitis. Learn more information about the medical condition here. #HepAware19
Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month, May 1 – 31, 2019
Luckily, thanks to birth control, it is easier to space and time pregnancies. But, sometimes, things don't go according to plan. Per the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the U.S. has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the industrialized world. Low levels of sex education in the US and barriers to access to health care contribute to these high numbers. So, we know this is true: Teens and young adults should be able to learn and access sexual health resources. Visit sex-positive organization The Power to Decide to learn more about work in this area.
National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5 – 11
📷 The New York Times
This is a week to appreciate folks who have devoted part of their lives to educate others. We'd particularly like to recognize teachers who provide age-appropriate sex education. These educators often face decreased funding and restrictions on what can actually be taught. Need some ideas on thanking the teachers in your life? Check these out. Several stores and restaurants are offering freebies and specials as well. #ThankATeacher
National Women's Health Week, May 12 – 18
We believe the spirit of this week should honor all gender identities that traditionally experience barriers to excellent health — we're looking at YOU if you're a woman, transgender, nonbinary, or someone who otherwise doesn't automatically receive better treatment due to their gender! "Health" includes access to medical care, exercise, healthy relationships, and sexual health. You can find health- and wellness-centered events all over the country this week. Not into events? Here are some steps you can take towards a healthier lifestyle over this seven-day period.
Here at FUNKY BROWN CHICK, Inc., we support unions and workers' rights! May 1 has a long association with the U.S. labor movement. More than a century after the first May Day protests, May 1 is still a flashpoint in the constant struggle for workers' rights. Protests around the country are already scheduled for the day. However, there are many more conventional celebrations being held if you prefer a less confrontational approach.
Here and abroad, journalists and other media figures often find themselves literally and figuratively under attack by those seeking to silence them. The purpose of World Press Freedom Day is to advocate for freedom of expression and safety for the press. To learn more about where individual countries rank in terms of press freedom, look at the 2019 World Press Freedom Index.
Saturday, May 3
Keith Haring's Birthday (1958)
Artist Keith Haring became a darling of the downtown NYC art scene before reaching worldwide fame with his quirky, movement-inspired artwork. A celeb in the early to mid '80s, his work often touched on social messages. Sadly, Haring died in 1990 of AIDS-related complications. He left behind a legacy of art as activism for all to embrace. Art can play an effective role in advocacy work. Our founder will be hosting a June event with Women Deliver on the power of the arts to create social change. You can learn more about the event or register here.
Europe Day
A day to celebrate peace and unity throughout Europe. On Europe Day, the public is invited to visit their local European Union office or attend any number of artistic and political events. Fun fact: Did you know our founder staged a one-woman show about her European "excursions"? She has more artistic ventures in the works; sign up for her newsletter to learn more.
FDA Approves "The Pill" (1960)
📷Time Magazine
While various birth control methods have been used throughout history, modern history was made when John Rock, a devout Catholic, developed what is now known as "the pill." On this day in history, the FDA approved Enovid-10, the first world's first medically-sanctioned, commercially-available oral contraceptive. Being able to control if, when, and how many children to have was a development that revolutionized society. The pill continues to positively impact lives now.
Victoria Woodhull runs for president (1872)
In 1871, publisher and activist Victoria Woodhull declared her intention to run for president. Formally nominated by the Equal Rights Party the next year, she became the first U.S. woman to mount a presidential campaign. Notably, she chose Frederick Douglass as her running mate, but without getting his consent. In the 100+ years since Woodhull's campaign, we've had the first African-American woman to run for president (Shirley Chisolm); the first woman vice president candidate (Geraldine Ferraro); and the first woman major party nominee (Hilary Clinton). Currently, a record five women have announced their candidacy for 2020.
United States ex rel. Standing Bear v. Crook (1879)
This case arose out of the forced relocation of the Ponca people. After his arrest for leaving an Oklahoma reservation (to bury his son), Standing Bear, leader of the Ponca people, sued the government. Judge Elmer S. Dundy ruled that Native Americans were people within the color of the law, and that Standing Bear's right to free movement as a human had been violated. This case was the first to recognize the humanity of Native Americans under federal law. More than 100 years later, for the first time, there are two Native American woman lawmakers in Congress.
We recognize this day as one to celebrate mothers of all kinds of families. However, we want to acknowledge the very real pain for those who currently may not or may never have had motherly figures in their lives for whatever reason. If this day is tough for you, escape the "mother love orgy" on everyone's social media and read this instead.
Paragraph 175 of German Criminal Code Criminalizes Sex Acts Between Men
Created in 1871, this law made "penetrative" sexual activity between men illegal. Nazis expanded the definition of illegal sexual behavior, citing the act as a justification to jail and kill gay Germans. People were encouraged to report their neighbors, employees, even passerby. The law was weakened in the '60s and '70s but wasn't repealed until 1994. If you're counting, yes, the law remained on the books for over 120 years. History reminds us not to look the other way when evil approaches, simply because we may not be part of the targeted group. Thedocumentary Paragraph 175 shares the personal stories of gay and lesbian Holocaust survivors.
Anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education (1954)
After several lawsuits in various states, it was a Supreme Court case in Topeka, Kansas that ultimately led to school desegregation. Images of African-Americans integrating various schools were published nationwide. The ruling spurred continued advocacy during the Civil Rights Movement. However, for all the progress made, resegregation — particularly of public schools — has become a modern-day challenge.
International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia
Homophobia, transphobia, and biphobia can lead to acts of discrimination and violence and have no place in a fair-minded society. International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia was founded by advocate, lecturer, and editor Louis-Georges Tin. The goal of the day is to raise awareness of the effects of bias and to encourage advocacy around issues affecting the LGBTQIA community. Interesting fact: May 17 was chosen because the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases on May 17, 1990.
HIV Vaccine Awareness Day
We at FUNKY BROWN CHICK, Inc. are excited about the potential for a cure for HIV! HIV Vaccine Awareness Day recognizes the various scientists, health professionals, and volunteers working to create a vaccine for HIV. Another goal of this day is to educate the public on the need for a vaccine. While a cure is needed, current medical efforts have positively affected many of those living with HIV. In fact, the oldest known person living with HIV turned 100 last year.
Malcolm X's Birthday (1925)
📷 Biography
"I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action." So said minister, speaker, and vaunted civil rights leader Malcolm X. Born Malcolm Little on this date in 1925, his life and work continue to inspire people today. Learn more about his life, views, and death through the timeless classic The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
The CDC estimates that in 2015, 15,800 Asians were living with HIV in the U.S. In addition, HIV diagnoses increased 51% over a four-year period for Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders. The CDC and the Banyan Tree Project established this day to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS in the AAPI community. A further goal of this day is to combat stigma. Learn more about how you can get involved.
National Hepatitis Testing Day
The goal of today is to encourage everyone to get tested for the various strands of Hepatitis. According to the CDC, millions of Americans are unaware that they have a form of the disease. If left untreated, this can result in liver damage. See if you need to get tested — take the CDC's Hepatitis Risk Assessment. Be #HepAware
Yuri Kochiyama's Birthday (1921)
If you could describe Yuri Kochiyama's life in one word, it would be "ally." She protested in support of independence for Puerto Rico; advocated for the incarcerated; and sought reparations for Japanese-American internees. Through her activism, she eventually became close with Malcolm X, and was present when he was assassinated. Like her mentor, she, too courted controversy with some of her statements. Yuri Kochiyama died in 2014 at the age of 93.
World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development
📷 The Conversation
We love cultural diversity! Also known as "Diversity Day," on this day we appreciate the uniqueness of cultures worldwide. We also recognize the need for intercultural dialogue. Cultural diversity is an asset that leads to greater economic and social development. Read more on why cultural diversity matters.
Harvey Milk's birthday (1930)
Harvey Milk's road to political activism didn't come naturally or quickly. But this "born politician" eventually became a loud and proud advocate for the LGBTQIA community. He ran for office several times before his history-making election to become San Francisco city supervisor. Milk's 1978 assassination — by a fellow politician no less — reminds us of the potentially deadly consequences that can come from demonizing political figures.
Richard Oakes's Birthday (1942)
📷 Wikipedia
A member of the Mohawk Nation, much of Richard Oakes's advocacy is considered integral to the "Red Power" movement of the 1960s and '70s. In 1969, he helped spearheaded a 19-month occupation of Alcatraz prison. The goal of the occupation was to protest the Indian Termination policy and reclaim the island for Native peoples. He also helped establish one of the country's first Native American studies departments. His life ended tragically in 1972, after a suspected white supremacist shot and killed him.
As one of the most popular May days to remember, we pay tribute to the sacrifices of U.S. servicewomen and men. Originally called "Decoration Day," the first informal observances of the holiday were held after the Civil War. A 1968 act of Congress cemented the observance as an official federal holiday to be held on the last Monday in May. In light of the Transgender Military Ban, this year we specifically seek to honor, uplift, and advocate for our transgender troops.
Sojourner Truth delivers "Ain't I a Woman?" speech (1851)
📷 Mendola Artists
Human rights activist and preacher Sojourner Truth delivered this famous speech at the 1851 Women's Rights Convention. While the title of the speech has been questioned, its content — on human rights for all women generally, and the lack of humanity and privilege afforded to Black women specifically — sadly resonates today.
Do you have a May day that is especially important to you? We can help you incorporate it into your content calendar. Give Twanna a shout.

Revenues at Candy Crush dev King fall by $22m year-on-year
King Studios
Bobby Kotick CEO Activision Blizzard
By Iain Harris, Staff Writer
Candy Crush developer King saw revenues fall $22 million to $506 million for the three months ending September 30th 2018.
For the same period the year prior, revenue came in at $528 million.
Profits before interest and taxes, meanwhile, dipped from $208 million to $184 million, which is a $24 million decrease year-on-year.
Parent company Activision Blizzard did, however, stress that monthly active users rose to 262 million.
The publishing giant also pointed out that newly launched Candy Crush Friends Saga reached the top of the iPhone download charts in 93 countries within three weeks.
Sweet business
Overall, Activision Blizzard posted net revenues of $1.51 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, as opposed to the $1.62 billion made for the third quarter of 2017.
Of that, mobile and ancillary (which are grouped) contributed $523 million, which is 35 per cent of total revenue but a decrease of two per cent on the $534 million made for the same period the year prior.

Q: vb.Net code to use AX 2009 ReturnOrderInService web service Need to use the create method of the AX 2009 ReturnOrderInService web service in a vb.NET aspx page to create an RMA in AX.
The code I've written below creates the RMA in AX, but doesn't show the line details in the AX RMA form, even though the records are in SalesTable and SalesLine.
Is a record needed in InventTrans or is there a missing InventRefId value somewhere?

    Dim rmaClient As ReturnOrderInServiceClient = New ReturnOrderInServiceClient("WSHttpBinding_ReturnOrderInService1")
    Dim roi As AxdReturnOrderIn = New AxdReturnOrderIn

    Dim st As AxdEntity_SalesTable = New AxdEntity_SalesTable
    st.CustAccount = "123"
    st.ReturnReasonCodeId = "RRC1"
    st.DlvMode = "01"
    st.SalesType = 4  'return item
    st.ReturnDeadline = DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, 15, Now())

    Dim sl As AxdEntity_SalesLine = New AxdEntity_SalesLine
    sl.ItemId = "ITEM 123"
    sl.ExpectedRetQty = -2
    sl.LineAmount = 0
    sl.InventTransIdReturn = ""

    st.SalesLine = New AxdEntity_SalesLine() {sl}
    roi.SalesTable = New AxdEntity_SalesTable() {st}

    txtFeedback.Text = ""

    Try
        Dim returnedSalesOrderEntityKey As EntityKey() = rmaClient.create(roi)
        Dim returnedSalesOrder As EntityKey = CType(returnedSalesOrderEntityKey.GetValue(0), EntityKey)
        txtFeedback.Text = GetRMANo(returnedSalesOrder.KeyData(0).Value)
    Catch ex As Exception
        txtFeedback.Text = ex.Message
    End Try

    rmaClient.Close()

A: Did you generate the proxy classes as stated in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc652581(v=ax.50).aspx?
This should create the AxdEntity classes needed.
First I would try to translate the example to VB. I cannot help you with the specific syntax, but there is nothing fancy here, so it should be rather simple.

Palace of Nations
Photo by: Eugene Regis, Creative Commons
The Palace of Nations is the headquarters for the League of Nations. Located in Geneva, Switzerland, built between the years 1929-1938. Since the 1950s it serves as the office for the United Nations in Geneva, though Switzerland did not become a member to the UN until 2002.
In the 1920s, an architectural competition was held for the final design of the building. A total of 377 designs were received, but there was no clear winner. Five architects were chosen to collaborate in the final design, these were: Joseph Vago, Carlo Broggi, Henri-Paul Nenot, Camille Lefevre, and Julien Flegenheimer.
When the building was transferred to the United Nations, two structures were added. In the 1950s, three floors were built into the "K" building, in addition, a new building was constructed that housed the World Health Organization. In the year 1973 the "E" block was built and in the present day, the Palace of Nations features 2800 offices and 34 conference rooms.
The Palace of Nations is in Ariana Park, which was willed to the City of Geneva by a prominent family. Peacocks roam freely on the grounds, this was condition the family imposed when it was given to the city. In the park, a wooden house built in 1668 still stands. Buried under the foundation stone of the Palace is a time capsule. The capsule contains a listing of member states of the League of nations, covenant of the league, and specimen coins that help commemorate the leagues Tenth assembly.

Lying with the Dead
TO ARDEN PENELOPE MEWSHAW, MY FIRST GRANDCHILD
Everything in nature has a lyrical essence, a tragic destiny and a comic existence
I know the stars by heart. Not their names. Not what you'd find out through a telescope. But I know when they rise and when they fade, the ones that bring winter snow in the mountains and spring rain in the dry wash. Whatever the season I wake up in the dark and step outside and watch for the light. It's a long watch, and even when the weather's freezing I want to lie down in the sand and fall back to sleep. To stay awake I make a sound in my mouth that's like the wind scraping across the desert, and pretty soon my head starts in on memories of all those years ago at home.
That was back east in Maryland. Now I live out west in the Slab City. It's not a real city, just a crossroads near the California-Arizona line where people from around the country park their trailers. Old and young, retired or out of work, they spend the winter here. Then when the summer heats up they pack and leave, and I stay put and fix the slabs. The trailers leak water and oil and whatnot on the concrete. I wash that off and check for cracks and places that have chipped. There's times I have to rebuild a whole foundation before folks roll in for fall.
Nicky, she's the woman I work for and live with, she has me fix the fence around her property. It's barbed wire, but not near as high as at a prison. Bushes and baby trees grow through it, and if you let them get big, the branches eat the barbed wire strand by strand. They can tug the fence straight down. So Nicky has me chop off the limbs. Afterward there's chunks of wood stuck on the wire like strips of meat hung out to dry. I don't care to look at them.
My favorite job is carrying cinder blocks on a hod. A hod is a contraption, a kind of tilted box on a stick. The Mexican that trucks in the blocks unloads them into the box on my shoulder and I lug them out to the slabs. Each trip the blocks on the hod make a different design, a checkerboard of hollows and solids and black-and-gray squares. But just half-thinking about it, I can keep them straight in my mind, like I keep track of my memories in the box in my head.
This box in my head is big, with dozens of drawers. It reminds me of the wooden chest in the prison library where inmates used to work on their appeals. Day after day they crowded around it, dragging out these long drawers, flipping through the cards, then banging them back into the slots. I imitated the sound, a sort of pistol-shot noise, but quiet so only I heard it.
In the morning when I'm waiting and humming and watching the mountains for the first sign of daylight, I'll go to the box in my head and crack open a drawer. I'll sniff it and taste it, and if it doesn't smell too bad or taste too bitter I'll dip into it for a spell. Most times it's Cole I hunt for and crawl in with. Otherwise I'll pass from drawer to drawer, visiting Mom and Candy and Quinn. Whenever they telephone, once or twice a year, there's buzzing in my ears and water in my eyes, and it's hard to find words. But in my head, in their separate drawers, things are clear, and I have no trouble talking.
Sometimes I visit myself as a kid. The memory drawers go back to when I was little enough for Dad to give me a bath in the kitchen sink. He set my bare ass on the cold drainboard and shoved my head under the spigot and scrubbed my hair with a bar of soap. The suds burned my eyes. But he didn't stop. He plopped me on my feet and dried me with a starchy towel. His hands rubbed hard, like he was roughing me up, punishing me for something. Electricity went everywhere on my skin. That's when I did the thing I'll never forget. I balled up my fist and punched Dad in the face. He dropped his hands and the towel fell in the sink, and I busted out crying, knowing he'd hit me back.
That's one drawer I stay away from. There's others I break into, I'm so eager to climb inside. Only two drawers I've never been able to open. The first I figure has to be the day Dad died. The second I don't have any idea what it holds and I'm afraid to find out.
The morning sky fades from black to blue, the stars blink out, and the world turns bright without them. I see the empty slabs all around me, and barbed wire with hanging wood chunks around the slabs. Nicky's house is off in a corner. It's an adobe as brown and smooth as a mud dauber's nest.
The thing I like about living in the desert, there's not so many changes. Just hot and hotter, then a winter that goes by so quick you don't know where it went. No trees changing colors, no leaves falling, then burning with that sweet smoke that smothered me in Maryland, and none of the flowers that choked my nose in spring. Those in-between times were the worst, and I'm glad to live without them.
The same hour each day a plane from the West Coast swooshes past, up so high it barely leaves a nail scratch on the sky. In my mouth the wind sound becomes a motor. I'd love to fly. I know what it is to float. I feel that in my head a lot. But just once I'd love to be up there, looking down at the states between here and home.
The plane crosses the mountains from peak to peak. They're shaped in steps, like a moving staircase in a department store. But the mountains stay still, and it's the sun that jumps over the snow on the high places in a sort of signal that might mean good news or bad.
When I assure people that I'm happy and I love where I live, they presume that I mean London itself—the theater, the world-class museums, the Regency mansions and growing numbers of restaurants run by celebrity chefs. The whole vast thrumming multicultural megalopolis. But I feel little connection to that guidebook cliché. What I love is the leafy enclave of Hampstead, tucked away in the northwest corner of the city. For me it serves as a refuge, which despite its well-burnished history, carries no echo of my own fractious past.
I'm an actor, one whose career has reversed the arc traveled by an illustrious line of British entertainers. Unlike, let's say, Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, and Bob Hope, who crawled out of the English gutter, emigrated to the States, and reinvented themselves as Hollywood stars, I fled a scruffy precinct of the New World for the gentility of the Old. I traded the giant golden jackpot of America for a life of human and very handsome dimensions.
Plenty of Londoners don't share my enthusiasm for Hampstead, and I've taken considerable ribbing because of the neighborhood's reputation for designer-label living. Friends from edgier areas dismiss mine as trendy, snobbish, twee, a zone of house-proud toffs and politically correct kooks—the kind of constituency represented in Parliament by Glenda Jackson, for God's sake.
I don't bother to argue back. Nor do I waste my breath explaining that the village has historically attracted residents fleeing natural disasters and man-made catastrophes. The English raced to Hampstead's high ground to escape the Plague, the Great Fire, the flooding Thames and its miasmal vapors. The street names alone—Well Walk, the Vale of Health—promised miraculous restoration to a roll call of famous consumptives and neurasthenics who flocked here. So who can fault me for settling in happily after the tumult of my childhood in Maryland?
Every day on my afternoon walk up Frognal Lane as I reflect on the life I've made for myself, it occurs to me that it resembles the red brick path I follow. Lovingly arranged, meticulously tended, each brick has been laid in place like a piece of a beautiful mosaic. The overall pattern remains pleasantly comforting even if a deep-buried tree root does occasionally rumple the surface.
My house is a sanctuary within the surrounding Eden. A renovated abattoir with beamed ceilings, it has a fireplace in the living room, exposed stone walls in the kitchen, and a conservatory that looks out over the garden. Mal, my agent, jokes that a conservatory is an oil-and-cash-guzzling space dedicated to the proposition that anyone with sufficient income can deny the reality of the English winter. While I'll grant that it costs a bundle to cover the mortgage and keep the place ticking, I love sitting snug in the conservatory, ignoring the pissing rain or pelting sleet on the glass panels.
My garden is actually a ragged clump of shrubs and locust trees. Nobody's done any pruning in ages, and I rarely have the grass cut for fear of uprooting the wildflowers that bloom in spring and chasing away the critters that burrow in the weeds.
My neighbors, no kidding, buy tiger shit from the London Zoo and spread it over their flowerbeds. They believe its wild scent scares off animals. But I allow creatures large and small free rein of my property. Squirrels, hedgehogs, voles, and field mice (they mutate into rats and become fair game for traps if they sneak into the house) frolic for my amusement. On clear winter mornings, like this one, a tawny fox, regal as a lion on the Serengeti, sometimes stretches out in the deep grass, soaking up the feeble warmth of the sun.
Today, however, I have no time to admire the view or search for the fox. I'm booked for lunch with my agent and a BBC producer. Already late, I nevertheless stroll to the restaurant by a circuitous route, reveling in cold air that rings like crystal. On certain streets, the walls of cottages huddle close, none more than a hand span apart. Each door is a different color—lipstick red, royal green, Della Robbia blue. At Admiral's Walk, in front of the white wooden mansion where
was filmed, a brigade of tourists gape as if expecting to spot Julie Andrews sailing overhead, pulled along by her umbrella.
At Whitestone Pond, the highest point in London, the water is usually like a detergent-filled bucket stirred by a grimy mop. Today it glitters with jeweled ice. Convinced I've kept Mal and the man from the Beeb waiting long enough, I turn down Heath Street. The ethnicity of the restaurants along the road switches every month. Indian, Hungarian, Moroccan, Thai, Argentinean—maybe these joints just trade signs and go on serving the same grub. Only La Gaffe never changes. Despite the French name, it has an Italian menu, and attracts a clientele divided evenly between those who look like Peter O'Toole and those who crane their necks looking for him.
Until I insisted that I was too busy to travel into town, the gent from BBC proposed that we meet at his club, the Atheneum. This led me to expect a blimpish Oxonian nearing retirement age, someone who, instead of a gold watch, had been offered the opportunity to produce a last miniseries. But when I get to La Gaffe Ian turns out to be a short, trim fellow no older than Mal and with the same leathery tanned complexion. The two of them have the faces of hard riders to the hounds and hard drinkers after the hunt. They're dead ringers for a couple of flamboyant hustlers at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Next to them I appear threadbare and pallid in my beat-up old Barbour coat.
Well into a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino, Mal and Ian are boisterously discussing foreign real estate. They break off for a moment while we exchange names and handshakes. Then Mal returns to the previous conversation and flabbergasts me by revealing that he owns what he refers to as "a bolt-hole in Brazil." He must be doing much better for his other clients than he is for me.
As I pour myself some wine, Mal begins talking about a woman in Brazil who promised to introduce him to her "paralyzingly posh friends who have their own bolt-hole up the coast. There's no road," Ian says. "You reach the place by boat, a kind of local water taxi. It reminded me of a punt with an outboard motor and a fringed awning."
"Brilliant," Ian encourages him.
"As we put into this cove," Mal continues, "Anthea started stripping off her kit. 'Mal, be a darling,' she said. 'My friends are frightfully eccentric. They're not nudists per se, but when they're in Bahia they never wear clothes and neither do their guests. So be a love and do away with your swimsuit.'"
Ian leans forward, grinning, eager to laugh. None of this instills confidence in me that I'll come away from lunch with anything except a heavy stomach and a headache. Still, Mal is no fool and I figure he must have something in mind. So I resign myself to doing what actors do between roles—attempting to seem interested, but not anxious, patient, but not a pushover.
"We waded ashore naked," Mal says. "Don't get me wrong. In different circumstances, I'd have been delighted to be on a tropical beach with Anthea in the raw. But with strangers watching me it was like that nightmare when you realize you're at the office or in church."
"Or on television," Ian adds, "with no clothes."
"Precisely. But this was hugely more embarrassing because, you see, as we crossed the sand toward this thatched hut I noticed a dozen people, proper British people, at a table and"—Mal slows down for effect—"and every one of them was dressed as if for a dinner party at Le Caprice. Only we were starkers."
Ian guffaws, and a gout of wine, red as blood, spurts from his nostrils. Shielded by the menu, I don't catch a drop of it. But pink polka dots well up on Mal's Dunhill shirt. Through tears of laughter, Ian struggles to apologize. A waiter rushes over with salt and a seltzer bottle. At other tables people stop searching for Peter O'Toole and glare at us.
"Sorry, old man," Ian says.
"Don't be," Mal says. "Getting a good laugh out of you makes up for any number of wine stains."
"Do send me the laundry bill."
"Don't be silly. With all the pounds that Quinn and I plan to wring out of BBC what's a few quid for the cleaners?"
Ian guffaws again, refills his glass, and tops up mine. Then as abruptly as that, the prologue ends, and although the tone stays chummy, the pitch commences. It's not what you'd hear in Hollywood. No, this is London. It's more like an oral exam in an Oxbridge tutorial. Still, a pitch is a pitch.
"I suppose you're familiar with Aeschylus?" Ian asks. "The
Oresteia
"Of course he is," Mal breaks in to save me from potential embarrassment.
"I haven't read it since college," I confess.
"But you remember the trilogy?"
"Who could forget it?" says Mal.
"We hope nobody has. Or nobody will once they've seen it as BBC means to present it. We're convinced the Greek classics can be relevant to a wide audience if they're properly formatted."
A hovering waiter leans in as if listening to Ian's project. But no, he's waiting to take our orders. We all ask for salads and pasta, and Ian resumes.
"BBC is prepared to commit to a play a night for three nights on the trot."
"Live?" I ask.
"No, tape. But we don't believe that'll compromise the intensity or immediacy. Our idea is to set the
in contemporary London, the House of Atreus in council housing. We want the characters to have the dramatic grandeur of archetypes, and yet at the same time human identities. They need to be people, real people, trapped in tragic dilemmas."
"Some of these council estates outdo the Greeks," Mal says. "You've read the headlines, haven't you, Quinn? Female circumcision. Forced marriages. Islamist terror cells."
"Don't get me wrong," Ian slows Mal down. "We're not planning to turn Aeschylus into tabloid journalism. But as we conceive it, the principal characters are Muslim immigrants. Very religious. From Pakistan, Afghanistan, someplace like that. Not political, just strict adherents to ancient traditions."
"You have a script?" Mal asks, no doubt wondering, as I do, where I fit in.
"Yes. It's Aeschylus, almost word for word. Only the context and motivation and a few scenes and lines have changed. Agamemnon is a fundamentalist patriarch who murders his daughter Iphigenia because she falls in love with a Christian boy. It's an honor killing. His wife, Clytemnestra, goes mad with grief and avenges her daughter's death by shooting her husband. Now her son Orestes is in agony, knowing he has to settle the score and kill his mother. The cycle of violence doesn't stop until the boy's trial, where the state replaces personal vengeance with institutional justice."
"Christ, that's quite a story," Mal says and he sounds sincere.
"We think so. Out of savagery," Ian recites as if from a cue card, "comes harmony. Through suffering the characters achieve grandeur and ritual significance."
"Hubris leads to nemesis leads to catharsis," I recall from my undergraduate course in Greek tragedy.
"Exactly. So you're interested?" Ian presses me.
"That depends," Mal chimes in.
"I'll let you two argue about money," I say. "My concern is the part you have in mind for me."
"We believe you could play both Agamemnon and Orestes."
"How's he going to do that?" Mal asks.
"Orestes doesn't appear in
," Ian says. "He comes on in
The Libation Bearers
, years after his father's death. Then there's his trial in
The Eumenides
. We think you're the right age. What are you now, Quinn, early thirties?"
"Closer to forty."
"Okay, we'll age you for Agamemnon, but with a few touches of makeup you can still play Orestes. You're center stage all three nights. For a serious actor, it's the role of a lifetime."
"I'm interested." I keep it understated not just because I am with Brits. I have to hide my excitement from myself to guard against disappointment if I don't get the part. "Before I decide, I'll need to reread the plays."
"Plenty of time," Mal says. "Ian and I'll hammer out a contract."
"When do we shoot?" I ask.
"Ideally, this summer."
I nod, and as if on signal the waiter arrives with the first course. Ian moves seamlessly from pitch-master to talk show host and tries to round things off by razzing Mal about his bare-assed humiliation in Brazil. But Mal puts him on the spot, saying, "It's your turn. Tell us your worst embarrassment."
I assume this must be a fixture at meals for old boys from English public schools. Ian joins the game with no reluctance. In fact he relishes the chance to describe a recent prostate examination.
"You're probably too young to be familiar with the procedure," he tells me. "What you do is drop your trousers and bend over the examining table. In goes the glove, and the moving finger having rooted around should promptly move on. But my doctor has offices at a teaching hospital, and in his plummiest bedside manner he said, 'Hope you don't mind, but our urology students are making the rounds today. They'd like to observe.' What he meant was they'd like to do more than observe. He pulled his finger from my bum, and in wriggles one student's, then another and another."
This time, Mal guffaws. Fortunately there's no wine in his mouth. I suspect that they're both brewing to ask about my greatest embarrassment. On this score I have a rabid aversion to sharing. It's nobody's business, my hoard of childhood humiliations. My father's death, my jailbird brother, my crippled sister, my brutal mother who bitch-slapped me into manhood, I hold them as close to the vest as a bluffing cardsharp holds his hand.
I sip the wine, followed by a glass of water. I finish my salad, then my pasta, and mop the plate clean with bread. By the ceremonial gravity of my gestures I cast myself in a classical mode, a man who doesn't welcome personal disclosures. Refusing coffee, not tarrying to watch which one of them picks up the check, I step outside La Gaffe and into blinding sunlight. Down on Flask Walk in the tobacco-scented warmth of Keith Fawkes's bookshop, I buy a used copy of the
Before I had Hampstead or my house and its conservatory and garden, books were my refuge, words my first love and last line of defense. Mom claims this came from her side of the family—a clutch of long-winded, loudmouthed, poetry-spouting Irish. I wouldn't know. My encounters with my relatives tended to be brief and bruising, and I regarded reading as a way of avoiding them and everything else that pained me. But I don't see myself sinking blissfully into this Penguin paperback. It's not simply because it's freighted with scholarly footnotes, a glossary of Greek vocabulary, and a ninety-page introduction. From college I remember my deep unease at Aeschylus, my shock of recognition at the House of Atreus. Too close to home, too close to home, I had thought, and tried to shut the tragedy from my mind even as I mechanically kept turning the pages.

This article first appeared in Haven, The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on June 5, 2017 - June 11, 2017.
Deep in the heart of verdant Janda Baik, the sprawling Puncak Rimba estate remains Datuk A Shazilly Bakti's ongoing, all-consuming passion project.
Ensconced amid the verdant jungles of Bentong, Pahang, is the charming hillside village of Janda Baik. With a bracing climate that is distinctly cooler than the Klang Valley's stifling heat and humidity, Janda Baik — which is Bahasa Malaysia for "good widow" (or "merry widow", if you have a penchant for Franz Lehar) — has become the weekend neighbourhood of choice for those who wish to be close to nature without venturing too far from the bright lights of the city. Sharing this sentiment is none other than Datuk A Shazilly Bakti, chairman of Schlumberger Drilling Services Sdn Bhd, whose sprawling Puncak Rimba estate is a true vision of an earthly paradise.
Set on 12 acres, Puncak Rimba is made up of a cluster of villas surrounded by forest and orchards. "Years ago, I bought a plot in Janda Baik without inspecting it," Shazilly shares. "It was around the time when everyone was buying land here. So, I bought without looking and, unsurprisingly, it didn't excite me. I had no inspiration to develop the plot and it was only just recently that I managed to sell it off. In my heart, I'd always wanted a place with undulating terrain, preferably with a stream. Then, I came across this piece of land for sale in the newspapers, and I visited it. It was perfect, meeting all my set criteria and had the bonus of a waterfall on site. I'd brought my family along to have a look and they all loved it too. So, we had to, how would you say, put on our poker faces when we started negotiating with the landowner," he laughs.
With the deal smoothly concluded about 12 years ago, Shazalli took his time. It was only five to six years ago that he finally began building his dream house ... or, to be more accurate, dream houses. Seven individual villas dot Puncak Rimba, including a 106-year-old wooden house brought from Kampung Bongek, Negeri Sembilan.
The decor, however, is a blend of all the aesthetics and design sensibilities of the Nusantara region, giving Puncak Rimba an eclectic yet visually-pleasing vibe. There is a mish-mash of decorative elements ranging from congkak boards and brass gongs to marvellous old-fashioned Dutch lamps and large pieces of bamboo furniture sourced personally during excursions to Solo and Borobudur in Java. Stained Indian rosewood and high ceilings also feature heavily in the villas. "I love the feeling of space it gives, and it really allows air to circulate," Shazilly says of the high ceilings.
Those with an appreciation for detail would also admire, not just the fine Singgora tiles, but also traditional ukiran (carvings) known as ekor cicak (lizard's tails) and finials called ekor itik (duck tails) hanging from and off the roofs. "I commissioned carvers from Rantau Panjang, the border town along Sungai Golok, to do these. Now, I can tell you, they are very happy whenever they see me coming," he laughs.
Indeed, as you explore the grounds, often encountering the resident ayam serama (jungle fowl), geese or ducks, you will find that Puncak Rimba offers a rhythm of life that is easy to fall in line with. Every few metres or so, you will come across a wakaf, most of which are complete with an inviting-looking day bed that beckons you to lie down for a postprandial snooze or simply to while the afternoon away with a good book.
For the more athletically-inclined, a wooden deck made from old railway sleepers offers an ideal spot from which to plunge into river's icy-cold waters. "Kids love using the smooth rocks as a natural slide," Shazilly shares. His involvement in traditional Malay dance (he heads Pertubuhan Warisan Seni Tari & Muzik Melayu, a non-governmental organisation that works to preserve Malay dance) also shows in the provision of several grassy courtyards that double up as natural amphitheatres for performances or artistic gatherings.
The main house, Villa Puncak, located at the estate's highest point, is particularly lovely. Comprising three structures — two one-bedroom units flanking the two-bedroom primary villa — its lofty perch above a 100ft gully allows champagne-fresh winds from the Titiwangsa mountain range to regularly blow through the rooms, making them airy and blissful at all hours of the day.
However, the most spectacular of all the houses is Rumah Lata a short buggy ride away. Lata, being the Bahasa Malaysia word for "waterfall", should give you an inkling of what to expect but when you actually step into the villa, it is nothing short of breath-taking as you are greeted by the sight of a gushing waterfall right outside your living room. The great Frank Lloyd Wright may have designed the iconic Fallingwater but Rumah Lata has to be experienced to be believed and is, in our opinion, the pièce de résistance of Puncak Rimba. It exudes an energy that is all its own, yet affording peace, calm and the sense of Zen that only water can give, simply by being near it.
Before (reluctantly) heading back to the city, we are invited to sit down to lunch and Shazilly's wife, Datin Siti Kathrina Ahmad, has prepared a veritable feast, the highlight of which is a platter piled high with Raja Kunyit durians from the on-site orchard, to be eaten the Kelantanese way — using one's hands and abetted by sinful glutinous rice, coconut milk, sugar and a pinch of salt — to bring out all the flavours.
Villa life or not, it still sounds like a tropical re-telling of Enid Blyton's The Enchanted Wood to us. The best part about Puncak Rimba? Fiction just got real.

Despite the Supreme Court ruling giving states the option of having legal sports betting, it will be a while before it has a chance in Indiana.
Despite Monday's U.S. Supreme Court decision giving states the option of having legal sports gambling, it will be a while before it has a chance of becoming a reality in Indiana.
Some states passed laws in anticipation of the decision, and should be among the first to have legal sports gambling. New Jersey sports books could be taking legal bets in a matter of weeks. But Indiana lawmakers decided during this year's legislative session to wait and see how it goes elsewhere.
Matt Bell, president and CEO of the Casino Association of Indiana, said Monday that he didn't want to make a prediction on when the state would have legal sports gambling. But asked about the earliest it could happen, Bell said, "In the most hopeful case, could you be open by the beginning of the NFL season in 2019, September 2019? Perhaps. But I think we need to be realistic. There are a lot of assumptions built into that date."
Even if the legislature passes a bill, it probably wouldn't happen until late April 2019. And then the Indiana Gaming Commission would need time to make regulatory rules.
Rep. Alan Morrison, R-Terre Haute, has introduced bills the past few years in hopes of preparing Indiana for this moment. But the bills haven't advanced far enough for a vote.
The ramifications, he said, would be on the state's casinos if neighboring states have legal sports gambling and Indiana does not. Morrison has requested that a legislative summer study committee take up the issue this year. Those committees will be assigned Tuesday. Morrison said even if that doesn't happen, he'll convene a group of stakeholders and be ready with a bill for next year's session.
Complicating the issue in part is the Indianapolis-based NCAA, which has been a staunch opponent of legal sports gambling.
But in a statement Monday, Donald Remy, the NCAA's chief legal officer, seemed to accept the reality that many expect the floodgates to open for legal sports betting across the country.
"Today the United States Supreme Court issued a clear decision that PAPSA (the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) is unconstitutional, reversing the lower courts that held otherwise," Remy's statement said. "While we are still reviewing the decision to understand the overall implications to college sports, we will adjust sports wagering and championship policies to align with the direction from the court."
Bell said that's a much different tone from the NCAA.
"Totally. Absolutely," Bell said. "This was same entity that threatened to move championship games out of New Jersey if they had legal sports wagering."
Bell said prohibiting college sports betting while neighboring states allow it would be "just bad public policy."
Another complication is the major sports leagues wanting a cut of sports gaming profits.
"The big question moving forward is how the sports gambling industry will be regulated," said Nathaniel Grow, associate professor of business law and ethics at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business.
Bell has said that sports betting by itself won't bring a huge amount of money into state coffers. The benefit of sports betting, he said, will be in attracting people to casinos who wouldn't otherwise go there.
Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill lauded the ruling.
"Our Founders drafted the Tenth Amendment for the purpose of limiting the involvement of the federal government in the internal affairs of the states," Hill said. "Even with this important protection written into the Bill of Rights, we see time and again that states must rise to defend their rightful prerogatives against the intrusive meddling of Congress.

Disgruntled Tennessee Sheriff Blames Beyonce For Drive-By Shooting
Sheriff Robert Arnold referenced Beyonce's Super Bowl performance as a motive for the shooting.
Desire Thompson
ATennessee police officer is blaming Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime performance for a drive-by shooting that occurred outside of his home.
Eight shots were fired outside Sheriff Robert Arnold's Rutherford County house while his wife and two children hid inside. No one was harmed. During a press conference the following day, Arnold singled out Beyonce's Black Pride performance and her homage to the Black Panthers as inspiration for the shooting.
Via The NY Daily News:
"With everything that's happened since the Super Bowl, with law enforcement as a whole, I think we've lost five to seven officers, five deputy sheriffs since the Super Bowl, that's what I'm thinking," he told reporters Tuesday at a press conference. "You have Beyoncé's video and that's kind of bled over into other things about law enforcement."
According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, ten police officers have been killed since the beginning of the year in gun-related deaths. Last year in the same period, police officer deaths were reported to be 13. None of the shootings have a reported link to the entertainer's performance.
Meanwhile, Arnold is being investigated by the FBI for selling e-cigarettes to prisoners through a private company called "JailCigs." He is also facing a police brutality lawsuit from the family of an inmate who was brutally beaten in his jail cell. The suit states that Arnold's "failure to adequately train and supervise his staff" left the victim with permanent brain injury. The family is seeking $20 million.
The Tennessean says police officers have been patrolling Arnold's area of residence. Arnold tells reporters that he's "always a target" due to his employment in law enforcement.
Police are still investigating the shooting.

Just about halfway through Dierks Bentley's Mountain High tour — in late August, right between his Utah and Virginia dates — he will be taking his show even higher. All the way up to 8,000 feet.
On Thursday (April 5), Bentley announced the Seven Peaks Music Festival. It will take place Aug. 31-Sept. 2 in Buena Vista, Colo., right in front of the Collegiate Peaks, which are some of the highest mountains in the Rockies. The festival site is about four hours east of Telluride, where Bentley recorded his next album The Mountain.
Seven Peaks has partnered with Adventure Hub to offer fans the option to leave the festival (via shuttle) to raft, kayak, bike, zip line and hike. And Bentley says he plans on taking full advantage of the music and the adventure.
"I personally will be right in there with our fans listening to the best musicians, taking advantage of the unlimited outdoor opportunities including hiking, biking and playing in the river and lake…or maybe just sitting with a cold one all day in the Colorado sunshine and under the Rocky Mountain stars," he said.
Artists scheduled to perform include Miranda Lambert, Brothers Osborne, Elle King, LANCO, Del McCoury Band, Sam Bush, The Cadillac Three and more.
The festival grounds are about a two-hour drive from Denver and the Denver airport, and there will be ample camping options for tents and RVs. Plus there is a handful of B&Bs and resorts right in Buena Vista. Weekend passes go on sale on April 20.
And here's the 411 on 420: Just being at a higher elevation is the only high fans will need. By Colorado law, marijuana use will not be permitted at Seven Peaks Festival. Marijuana is intended for private, personal use and such use is only legal in certain locations not open or accessible to the public.

Blue Kind of Miles Live at Dizzy's
Written by Peter Sprague on February 15, 2022
Greetings Extreme Fans of Harmon Muted Trumpets!
Coming to you from a rather blustery day at SpragueLand. Just when we thought it was summertime in February no sooner did El Winter reappear.
I dig it!
Up for this week our first live in realtime performance at Dizzy's on Friday night.
For the Miles music, first we did a livestream from SpragueLand, then we put out an album:
PS Music
And now we're launching live at Dizzy's. Hope you can make it!
The backstory:
The sound of Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue has been in my life from the very beginning. Our Dad Hall had what I consider an excellent taste in music and part of him keeping up the cred on that front was acquiring a large heap of Miles in his vinyl collection. He had it and he played it and the positive effect it had on my brother Tripp and I runs deep. Kind of Blue was at the top of my Dad's all time favorites and it turns out it's almost everyone else's all time favorites too.
Kind of Blue's influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded. The album was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003 it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It's often cited as the best-selling jazz record and in 2019, it was certified 5× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of over five million copies.
The music is sublime and it forged the way to new sonic frontiers, steering away from the earlier hard bop lexicon to more gentle modal landscapes.
Beautious!
For this concert we'll play our unique versions of the songs from Kind of Blue.
Here's the lineup for the show:
Peter Sprague — guitar
Tripp Sprague — sax, flute, and piano
Mack Leighton — bass
Duncan Moore — drums
that's it and many thanks, Peter

Q: Preventing hover to behave like click on mobile devices Project link:
http://50.87.144.37/~projtest/wp/usefulcase/

When you test the link in an iPhone and open the menu by click the button on top right, you will see that some menu items have submenu. When you click on the main menu item, the sub menu opens, but the page is redirected to the clicked item's link. I need to prevent that from happening.
Following is the js, that I have applied, but it is not working:
// see whether device supports touch events (a bit simplistic, but...)
var hasTouch = ("ontouchstart" in window);
var iOS5 = /iPad|iPod|iPhone/.test(navigator.platform) && "matchMedia" in window;

// hook touch events for drop-down menus
// NB: if has touch events, then has standards event handling too
// but we don't want to run this code on iOS5+
if (hasTouch && document.querySelectorAll && !iOS5) {
    var i, len, element,
        dropdowns = document.querySelectorAll(".menu li > a");

    function menuTouch(event) {
        // toggle flag for preventing click for this link
        var i, len, noclick = !(this.dataNoclick);

        // reset flag on all links
        for (i = 0, len = dropdowns.length; i < len; ++i) {
            dropdowns[i].dataNoclick = false;
        }

        // set new flag value and focus on dropdown menu
        this.dataNoclick = noclick;
        this.focus();
    }

    function menuClick(event) {
        // if click isn't wanted, prevent it
        if (this.dataNoclick) {
            event.preventDefault();
        }
    }

    for (i = 0, len = dropdowns.length; i < len; ++i) {
        element = dropdowns[i];
        element.dataNoclick = false;
        element.addEventListener("touchstart", menuTouch, false);
        element.addEventListener("click", menuClick, false);
    }

Hope you had a great Christmas and you are enjoying a lot those holidays. Today, after reading a lot across SEO and what we have to do before to launch a website in 2017 I decided to write down a checklist as I did for the 2016.
I feel that this can help a lot me and marketers to just have some crucial points in your eyes because we know that every year SEO is changing a lot (We know algorithms changes al lot of times in one year) and the Mobile presence is not the first thing we have to take care when we get started with a web project.
Search engines will judge 'value' of search visibility through a user satisfaction lens.
Hope you enjoyed this list I put together. If you have more points than that. Please write a comment and I ll add it.

One of the resolutions that you've made this year probably includes a plan to shed the extra weight. If you don't fall among those who need to trim their belly fat, then you are probably among the tons of people who have to maintain their weight and slim belly. Or, you are aiming to make healthier food choices this year.
Whatever your reason is, we've all thought about following a diet plan. More specifically, the healthiest meal plan. And, there is no better way to learn about the healthiest diet plan than by listening which meals plans the experts have declared healthy in 2019.
The nut-enriched Mediterranean diet was ranked the top diet plan to follow last year in a tie position with the DASH diet. This year too, it has maintained its top slot. The eating pattern is loaded with lots of healthy fats, lean proteins, whole grains, and plants. At the same time, it limits the amount of refined sugar, processed foods, and red meat eaten.
The top rank to this meal plan is a well-deserved one. It is known for its effort in lowering your risks of heart disease and cancer. The Mediterranean meal plan boosts your gut health and cognitive well-being as well. Moreover, you can also enhance your kidney's health.
The trending keto diet has moved to the second spot on the experts' list of the best diets. This one is credited for helping you effectively lose weight. The basics of the meal plan are pretty simple: high-fat content, moderate protein intake, and low carbohydrate consumption.
Following it is somewhat tough though as several people give up at the first sign of keto flu, which shows symptoms such as nausea, stomach ache, fatigue, and more. However, keto flu is temporary and once you survive it, following a keto diet become easy.
The DASH diet stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. It was particularly designed to help boost heart health by lowering blood pressure. The focus is on reducing the intake of sodium from one's diet and taking minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
These minerals help to lower blood pressure. The eating plan revolves around eating vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and moderate amounts of lean protein. You also need to slash your intake of fats, sweets, and red meat.
In addition to these top meal plans, other eating patterns also made it among the best. These include the Nordic diet, which originates from the plant-based eating style of the Scandinavian folks. This is the first time that the Nordic meal plan has made it to this list and has been ranked number nine.
Besides, the MIND diet and Flexitarian diet are also included. The former is planned specifically for cognitive well-being, whereas, the latter is mainly based on plant food intake with its focus on cutting down the risk of chronic diseases.

Editorial: Family separation is an immoral, ineffective policy
Central American migrants walk to the U.S.-Mexico border crossing April 29 in Tijuana, where they presented themselves for asylum. Now, however, following the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy, families who enter without first presenting for asylum are being separated. (CNS/David Maung)
by NCR Editorial Staff
"If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you as required by law," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said during a speech to the Association of State Criminal Investigative Agencies May 7. "If you don't like that," he added, "then don't smuggle children over our border."
The subject of Sessions' talk was not criminal gangs or human trafficking. He was talking about mothers and fathers seeking refuge from unrelenting violence and economic deprivation. He was talking about jailing parents for doing their duty to protect their children.
This was Sessions announcing the new "zero tolerance" policy for immigrants crossing illegally into the United States. We're already seeing the effects: The number of minors in U.S. custody was 10,773 on May 29, according to the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, an increase of about 2,000 minors in custody since the policy was announced.
Making family separation a point of government policy is unacceptable and immoral. For anyone purporting to hold and support family values it is abhorrent. On a policy level, it is ineffective: It deters no one and keeps no one safe.
As we have seen time after time with this administration, the policy was announced without being thoroughly thought through and with no planning. Border agents and child welfare agencies had no advance warning. By early June, Homeland Security facilities to house minors were at capacity. On June 5, NBC News reported that of 550 children in detention in U.S. border stations, 300 of them had been in custody more than 72 hours — and nearly half of those are classified as "tender age children," meaning under the age of 12. The New York Times found more than 100 children under the age of 4 have been separated from their families.
No law requires that migrant families be separated at the border. Previous administrations have treated this as an administrative, not criminal, issue. The Trump administration could to do the same but has chosen not to.
Some suggest that people with legitimate fears should seek asylum before entering the U.S. But that process is becoming increasingly difficult. At the end of May, Jesuit Fr. Sean Carroll, executive director of the Kino Border Initiative, with dual offices in Arizona and Sonora state, Mexico, said his program had 89 people — 57 of them children — waiting to be received by U.S. Customs. Most were from Guatemala. While Customs usually makes a near-immediate determination of the strength of asylum-seekers' cases, now "people are waiting," Carroll said. Some had been with Carroll six days already.
The United Nations human rights office said June 5 that the policy "is a serious violation of the rights of the child," and called on U.S. authorities to adopt noncustodial alternatives. The ACLU has filed a class-action lawsuit in federal court in San Diego, calling for a halt to separations and for reunification of families.
As Bishop Joe Vásquez of Austin, Texas, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Migration, said in a statement June 1, "Family unity is a cornerstone of our American immigration system and a foundational element of Catholic teaching. ... Rupturing the bond between parent and child causes scientifically-proven trauma that often leads to irreparable emotional scarring."
"My brother bishops and I understand the need for the security of our borders and country, but separating arriving families at the U.S.-Mexico border does not allay security concerns," Vásquez said. "Children and families will continue to take the enormous risks of migration — including family separation — because the root causes of migration from the Northern Triangle remain: community or state-sanctioned violence, gang recruitment, poverty, and a lack of educational opportunity."
"Policies should address these factors first as we seek to repair our broken immigration system," the bishop said.
Vásquez has hit on the hard truth: The root causes of our "migration problem" lies on the other side of our borders and they are sown with the seeds of foreign policy mistakes the United States made in Central America over the last six decades — supporting dictatorships, quashing democracy and imposing imperialistic economic policies. The United States has never taken responsibility for the part we played in creating the violence, poverty and lack of opportunity that force our brothers and sisters south of our borders to uproot their families and flee north.
Eradicating the problems that force people to leave their homes is the best deterrent.
