BARRIE, Ont. – Kevin Labanc scored on the power play at 13:08 of the third period to give the Barrie Colts a 3-2 victory over the North Bay Battalion in a penalty-filled Ontario Hockey League game Saturday night.
The fourth of six games between the Central Division rivals saw the teams combine for 54 penalty minutes and 18 power plays, with the Colts capitalizing for three man-advantage goals.
Brendan Lemieux and Garrett Hooey also scored for Barrie, which moved its won-lost-extended record to 9-8-2 for 20 points, four behind the division-leading Battalion, which has a game in hand. Goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood returned from an ankle injury, facing 32 shots in his first action since a 4-1 loss at North Bay on Oct. 13.
The Colts, who had been idle since an 8-3 road loss to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Nov. 8, have dropped five of their last seven games and are 4-7-1 in their last 12.
Nick Paul scored both North Bay goals before a crowd of 4,134, with Kyle Wood earning two assists. Goaltender Jake Smith faced 21 shots for the Battalion, 10-4-4.
Paul brought the Troops, who trailed 2-1 after two periods, even at 1:14 of the third. Blackwood stopped a Wood shot from the right point but kicked the rebound to Paul, who converted from the lip of the crease for his team-leading 16th goal of the season.
The Battalion failed to take advantage of two subsequent power plays occasioned by penalties to Joseph Blandisi, and the Colts couldn't score after Hampus Olsson went off for tripping, but Barrie found the winner with Brenden Miller serving a roughing call.
Shortly after Smith used his right arm to parry Labanc's drive from the left-wing circle, Labanc rushed down the right wing and beat the goaltender high to the glove side.
The Troops got a final power-play chance when Blandisi was whistled for high-sticking at 17:33 but couldn't generate a scoring chance. Smith left for a sixth skater with 1:25 left, and the Colts narrowly missed an empty-net goal when Lemieux failed to catch up to a Michael Webster feed.
Paul opened the scoring on the power play at 12:57 of the first period, driving to the net and slipping a Wood pass between Blackwood's pads.
The Colts, unable to generate a solid chance during a two-man advantage lasting 1:15, tested Smith in the 15th minute, with the goaltender getting his right arm on Justin Scott's shot from the slot. The Battalion challenged Blackwood during an early power play, and Zach Bratina and Alex Henriksson had chances late in the frame with the Troops again enjoying a man advantage.
Penalty trouble afflicted the Battalion in the second period, most notably when Miller collected six minutes in penalties at 14:46 on a minor for elbowing and a double minor for high-sticking.
The Colts capitalized on the two-man advantage, tying the game nine seconds later when Lemieux redirected a shot from the blue line by Rasmus Andersson.
With Barrie still on the power play, Hooey struck at 17:23. Webster lofted a shot from the blue line that hit the right leg of defender Marcus McIvor and landed on the stick of Hooey, who stuffed the puck home.
Smith was tested during an earlier Barrie power play, but he produced several sparkling saves, the best when he slid across the crease to rob Hooey on a two-on-one rush with Blandisi.
The Battalion, which defeated the visiting Peterborough Petes 7-2 Friday night, hosts the Mississauga Steelheads at 2 p.m. Sunday on BMO Fan Appreciation Day.
BATTALION BULLETS: The Colts, celebrating their 20th season, honoured the late Bert Templeton, who coached Barrie for its first four seasons after 12 years with the North Bay Centennials … The Troops have won four of their last six games and six of their last nine. Their only other losses in that span were a 3-2 setback via shootout to the visiting Belleville Bulls on Oct. 30 and a last-minute 2-1 loss Nov. 6 at Peterborough … Paul has six goals in four games against Barrie … The Battalion, charged with 30 penalty minutes, went 1-for-7 on the power play. Barrie, sentenced to serve 24 minutes, was 3-for-11 … Opening line combinations included Paul centring Jared Steege on left wing and Mike Amadio on right wing, Brett McKenzie pivoting left winger Bratina and right winger Henriksson and Ray Huether centring left winger Mike Baird and right winger Mathew Santos. Zach Poirier centred left winger Owen Green and right winger Olsson … The Battalion scratched Riley Bruce, David Sherman, Mark Shoemaker and Calvin Gomes … Barrie's Andrew Mangiapane, who earned two assists, has an eight-game points streak during which he has seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points. He saw the end of a four-game goals streak, during which he scored six goals, and extended an assists streak to eight games … The referees were Joe Celestin and Jason Faist.

Soul Rebels is an album by The Wailers, their first album to be released outside of Jamaica. The Wailers approached producer Lee "Scratch" Perry in August 1970 to record an entire album, and the sessions took place at Randy's Studio 17 in Kingston, Jamaica until November. First issued in the UK by Trojan Records in December 1970, the album has since been re-released several times on several different labels. Perry's production is sparse and haunting, only featuring guitar, bass, drums, electronic organs, and vocals with no horns or other embellishments.

Treasure Chest Thursday
Rustic crockery vase belonging to my Grandma Rose Uelmen Meyer
Treasure chest Thursday means it's time to share a family gem. Yes, the sunflowers are pretty but the crock is the focus of this piece. Mom gave this to me several years before she and my Dad moved out of their house. She knew I'd appreciate it's rustic charm. It's my favorite vase for country bouquets.
I find it kind of strange though, that my Mom chose this as one of the few things she could take from the family farm. Living in WA state limited how much she could bring home and she didn't really care for the rustic look.
Although you can't see it in this photo the crock does have a chip along it's rim. It was the sort of thing she'd say when shown, "Who'd want that old thing." This piece must have must have spoken something about her childhood home and mother though, I guess I should have questioned her more.
She did tell me that her Mother found this piece while poking around in a vacant lot across the road from the church they attended. (ST. Mathias Catholic Church, Auburn Township, Fond Du Lac county, Wi) According to her a German convent had once sat on the property. She figured the crock was something they used. She told me the convent had been long gone by the time she was born.
So my question to you is – what kind of family treasures do you keep? Feel free to share in the comment section.

Two of Johanne Meyer's daughters. Margaret and Anna Meyer as young girls.
Life in New York
When we last left off, Johannes and his family were standing on the docks of New York City. Whether they had purchased the land for their new home while still in France or after their arrival in New York is unknown. However,we do know French land agents worked hard enticing Alsaceian families to settle in Lewis county, New York.
According to Johannes' grandson Pierre, they had either settled first in Belford, which would have been in New Jersey or more likely Belfort, Lewis county, New York. Since it was already fall the family must have had enough additional money to buy most of the provisions they would need to survive until the next year.
They built a log home on the property which was what most families in the area had. In the spring of the following year Marguerite,Johannes' wife, died.The cause of her death is unknown. She was buried in a clearing near the log home.
Did the lost of his wife make Johannes ponder the wisdom of moving his family? Did a hard winter and a lack of enough resources contribute to her death or had some epidemic rage through the community? We will never know but Johannes was now left with 6 mother-less children ranging in ages 2-12 and a farm with poor soil.
He moved his family to Naumburg, another small village in the area, in 1851 or 1852. There he married Julia Schlieder Seyfarth, the widow of Frederick Seyfarth. She owned the farm adjoining his new property.
In the fall of 1953 Johannes began building a very fine home. According to his grandson Pierre it was larger and bigger than most of the homes of the time. Travelers often mistook it for a tavern. Today a large farmhouse exists on this same property. Further research needs to be done to determine if this is the same house.
The new farm was in Croghan, Lewis County, NY and is described as being lot 5 of Mocombs Purchase. From a Croghan pamphlet dated 1858 we know there were 500 European families in this area most from E. France or adjacent Germany. In 1848 the population of 1,168 were broken down to 646 American and 522 as French.
In 1854 Johannes and Julia had a son they named Charles Julius. Later that same year Julia's daughter Wilehmina married Ferdinand Sonatag.
In the 1855 census New York census Johannes is listed as John Mairars age 37. His framed house is marked with a value of 600$ considerably more than the log homes of the rest of the area. He has 40 improved acres and 110 unimproved acres. The total value of the farm is given as $2,200. He has another $190 in stock and $50 in tools.
Crops were listed as wheat, oats, potatoes and hay. He owned one head of cattle, 2 butter cows, 2 sheep, 2 swine and one working ox.
In 1856 another son Augustus Lewis was born. At the age of 6 months Johannes and Julia allowed Augustus to be adopted by Julia's daughter Theresa. The family story was that she and her husband Fredrick Hoffman were unable to have children.
In Feb. 0f 1862 Julia's son Fredrick married Johann's daughter Anna.
In May of 1863 Johannes and Julia sold their land in New York and moved with their unmarried children to Wisconsin where they settled near Lima township, Sheboygan county. Their now married children – Anna Meyer and Fredrick Seyforth – either went with them or came the same year.
Their new property was near what is now Kohler state park. It would need to be researched more but it is possible part of his land is now within the park boundaries.
In 1865 Johannes' daughter Margaret married Phillip Welter in Sheboygan Falls, later the same year his daughter Catherine, married Fredrick Sauer in Lewis County, New York. In 1866 his daughter Maria Meyer married Wilhelm Demand in Sheboygan, Wi.
It is not known why but sometime before 1870 Johannes and Julia decided to move back to New York. This time to a small farm in Wayne county.
In 1870 the couple decided to separate and split their assets with Johann moving back to Alsace to live with a brother while Julia took their son Charles to Watertown, NY to live.
When Johannes got back to Alsace, he only stayed 2 days before war broke out. He returned to the U. S. living for times with each of his married children until 1872 when the war ended. Johannes then returned to Alsace to live the rest of his years with his brother.
He died around 1906. A document found in Sheboygan shows that one of his daughters was appointed to see to the dispersal of his small estate. The lawyer handling his affairs in Alsace was from Neiderhausbergen (a small town near Strassburg) indicating that was where he was living at his death.
We have now documented 8 children and 35 grandchildren for Johannes Meyer.

The Meyer family arrival in New York
What a day it must have been when the Meyer family finally saw land. Weeks of living in the cramped dark steerage quarters of a ship with only the endless ocean for scenery were at an end.Soon they would set foot on land for the first time in over a month.
Nearing the New York bay where their ship would drop anchor they must have stood on the crowded deck, along with the other passengers and sailors,to get a glimpse of their new home. As they sailed into the harbor they would have seen the multitudes of church steeples, public liveries, factories, store and other structures that lined the bay.
Those who arrived before 1855 were hardly noticed in any official way. Once the ship was declared disease frèe the passengers were taken ashore.The Meyer family may have simply walked down a gangplank and right onto the boards of the pier. But not all ships could find a free dock. Many anchored out in the harbor. Passengers were loaded onto barges pulled by steamers.Their baggage and trunks would follow later.
Did our Meyer family have some friends or relatives there to meet them? If they did they are unknown. Had they been given specific directions on where to go now that they were ashore and how to get to their final destination?
The piers were often haunted by con men who spoke their languages. They would attempt to allure bewildered immigrants into boarding house or offer to help them procure tickets to their destinations often charging two or three times the fair price. Still others just took the money and left.
Perhaps Johann bought some coffee and flour rolls for the family and then went to procure what was needed for the next leg of the journey.
I can picture the children growing accustomed to their surroundings, listening to the foreign words and splashing each other with water they found at a fountain while sour faced women tried to soothe crying babies and wait for their husbands to return.
Did our Meyer family spend their first night in America somewhere in New York city or did they head directly North for Lewis county? Had Johann already purchased the land he was going to or did he do that after he landed? Remember his grandson Pierre felt he had purchased the property sight unseen. We may never know. But we do know it was fall. Lewis County is not a very populated area, even today. It was certainly a rural area when they arrived. Johann still had to build or procure a home for his family and find a way for them to survived their first winter in a new home. He must have had enough money still left to provide for much of what they would need in the coming months ahead.

Imagine, you're waiting on the crowded dock, pictured above. It's a day in late Aug or early Sept in the year 1849, the year the Meyer family emigrated to the United States. Now imagine, in addition to yourself,you must also keep track of your spouse, 6 children (ages 1-10) and all your worldly possessions. A mix of exhaustion, excitement and fear run through your mind. Have you made the right decision? Is this move really going to be better for you and your family? Will you and the family even survive trip? Never mind, it's too late now to turn back.
Perhaps Margaret, the eldest child, is holding her, year old brother, George, while her mother tries to keep track of the four others and her father their possessions. They don't dare lose sight of them now, for any moment they will hear the announcement they can finally go abroad.
Are John, Catherine and Anna, the three middle children, getting antsy. They've been waiting for days to board the ship and are tired of having to stay so close to their parents. Maybe little Maria, age 3 is crying, in need of a nap and frightened of the throngs of people around them.
For the past few years the family watched as others left their beloved Alsace. They'd read the letters of those who'd gone ahead and listened to the various agents who came to their village touting of the riches to be found in America. But it wasn't until this year, when agents from Lewis County, New York came talking up the county where the farmland was fertile and plenty, they paid much attention. To Johann and Marguerite a place with plenty of land for their own and eventually their children sounded to good to pass up.
Life in Alsace has been getting harder and harder with each passing year. Years of frequent wars, harsh winters and epidemics make leaving look better and better. Jobs are scarce and prices keep getting higher and higher, as a growing population struggles to survive. And the prior year brought both war and famine to their area. What will the future bring if they stay? Will their children have any hope for a good future? And so after much discussion and debate Johann and Marguerite made the difficult decision to emigrate.
First they had to pay off any debts and taxes they owed and obtain passports confirming their identity. Plus they had to have enough cash to buy their passage, sustain their journey and allow them enough to start over in the U.S. In the last year Johann has set about taking care of his obligations and selling off all of his holdings to enable him to sail for America. Now everything is done, it is time to leave.
Because of the cotton trade, departing cotton ships leaving the port of Le Harve, France are always looking for paying passengers. It is their best choice. Plus the route is shorter taking only 20-30 days.
The best crossing times are between April to September. But this last spring Le Harve had a cholera epidemic. Mayors of the village were asked to stop issuing them, making it harder to leave. Now in August, they have obtained the necessary documents. If they wait any longer they will have to risk a harder crossing or wait until next spring.They sell off the last of their possessions deemed unnecessary for their voyage.
To get to Le Harve they first have to cross France. Like most emigrants from Alsace they probably used empty cotton carts leaving Strasbourg. I can imagine Johann loading the cart with their trunks and boxes while Marguerite added their linens and bedding. In addition to the clothing, tools and utensils they will need once they reach America they are expected to provide their own bedding and provisions on the ship.
The time for final good-byes has come. The family stands outside their home and takes one last look. When the wheels of the wagon begin to rock they turn their heads and with heavy hearts they begin the first leg of their journey, the trek across France. Quite likely, when they reach Paris they stop for a day or two to take advantage of what the capital has to offer and perhaps replenish their provisions.
Finally they reach the port of Le Harve to wait with thousands of others. Johann still needs to book their passage. A colony of innkeepers and shopkeepers lined the port. Was the family well enough off to stay in an inn or did they make do camping on the dock in a shack or make shift tent? Sometimes it was necessary to wait weeks before as ship was ready to set sail.
Once on board they would have to camp out in a crowded steerage area. There was no lighting and it also was not dry. Water seeped in through the ventilation holes. Like most passengers they were probably seasick the first few days. If it was stormy it wasn't possible to go up on deck for fresh air. There was only one toilet per 100 people. Diseases spread easily. They had to cook their own meals in crowded conditions.
What an exciting day it must have been, after weeks in the cramped dark steerage quarters of the ship with only endless ocean for scenery, when someone announced they could finally see land on the horizon. What was to come was still unknown for now they were thankful they'd survived the crossing.

Ring, Ring, New York Calling
About a week after sending my letter to Harry Bingle the phone rang. A Betty from Carthage, NY called. When she informed me the Harry Bingle in the nursing home wasn't the one I wanted, my heart plummeted. She told me the Harry I wanted had died in 1968. Then she told me the Harry I was looking for was her father and Catherine Sauer Meyer her great-grandmother. She went on to say it was just by luck the letter had reached her. Someone on staff knew her and had recognized I was inquiring about her family and had passed the letter on. Talk about serendipity.
She went on to tell me several of Johann Meyer's descendants still lived in the area. Her family had kept in contact with the far flung offspring who'd left for Wisconsin but eventually had lost track of them. She was able to verify, the names I had for the girls, were correct. She promised to send me her Great- grandmother's obituary which said the family had been from Strasburg, Alsace. And she offered to do more digging in the records in her area when she had time.
Not long afterwards a Mr. Seyforth from Milwaukee Wisconsin e-mailed me. He'd seen my query on Johann Meyer and thought we were looking at the same family. Several quick e-mails back and forth determined that we were indeed were and we each had information to share.
When I had begun my Meyer search both my Mother and Aunt Gert had mentioned that their parents occasionally made trips to Mondovi, Wisconsin to visit relatives. They weren't sure who they were or which side of the family they belonged to. When my new contact mentioned his Seyforth family had farmed near Mondovi I knew they must be the relatives my grandparents had visited. My mother had also mentioned a Jessie Koch and a Trilling from Sheboygan as Meyer relatives who came to their family gatherings. How they were related she didn't know.
Soon I got a packet of printed material my Seyforth contact. Someone in his family had compiled the family names birthdates at an earlier time and he included that along with his research. The papers gave the place of origin for the family as Alpheshiem, Niederetses, France and listed the name of Johann's first wife as unknown. (Niederetses, I would later learn meant Alsace) Then it listed his children as:
Margaret who had married a Phillip Welter and they had lived in Pepin county, Wisconsin.
Anna had married Fredrick Seyforth and lived in Mondovi, Wi. He was also her step-brother and son of Julia, Johann's second wife. (No wonder my grandpa George had trouble keeping this family straight. He had an uncle who was being raised by one of her daughters and an aunt who had married her son.)
Catherine (Kate) had married in New York to Fred Sauer.
John, who had married Mary Thomsen and lived in Cascade, Wi
Mary married a William Demand and lived in Sheboygan. She had descendants by the name of Jessie Koch and a Hattie Trilling the names my mother had mentioned.
George married a Sophie Allman and they'd gone to live in Aberdeen South Dakota around 1900.
Also included in the packet was a copy of this photograph taken in Plymouth, Wisconsin.
Meyer siblings. L-R Mary, Margaret, John and George taken about 1900
Johann Meyer married second, Julia Schleider Seyforth Her children were:
Theresa who married Mr. Hoffman. ( The family said she was unable to have children and so adopted her half brother Johnann and Julia's youngest son Augustus and lived in Wayne County, New York.)
Wilamina married a Mr. Sontag and lived in Clifton Springs, New York.
Fredrick married Johann's daughter Anna Meyer.
Together Johann Meyer and Julia had children:
Charles Meyer who live in Carthage, New York (father of Pierre and Edith)
Augustus Meyer Hoffman ( child adopted by half sister) Family stories said his half -sister had been unable to have children so Julia and Johann had allowed her to adopt their youngest child.)
I now had two separate branches of the family to collaborate with. Together we were able to fill out much of the family tree and account for not only the children of Johann but their children as well. But there was still some details that eluded me including where in Alsace thy had come from? Without a village name it would be next to impossible to trace the family back any further. Our collaboration had suggested several names: Strasburg from some of the girls obituaries, Airsheim from John's marriage certificate and the Aphesheim suggested on the Seyforth document. With the exception of Strasburg I've been told the other places had never existed. It was suggested that perhaps the places had been eaten up as the city of Strasburg grew. I also needed to know the name of where Johann had died. Who was the brother he went back to live with? And of course I wanted what every genealogist wants to know, who were the parents?
For the next several years I added very little to my Meyer research until another descendant of the Meyer family contacted me. But that is another story to be shared another day.

Simon Freund's Selbstportrait
Simon Freund
Selbstportrait
'Selbstportrait' is the first solo exhibition by German artist Simon Freund. Presented at the Stu in Munich on two Samsung The Frame TVs, the photo series is a meditation on identity and consumerism, it depicts 100 humans wearing Freund's signature uniform of trousers, jumper, and beanie, and he in their clothes.
When we think of clothes and our own personal style, many things spring to mind: confidence, comfortability, fashion, identity, variety. In light of the considered effort many put in to having multiple 'looks' for their day-to-day activities, is wearing the same thing over and over a little counter-cultural? This is the concept explored by Freund, in his first solo exhibition titled 'Selbstportrait', or self-portrait in English. On the eve of his opening at the STU, we spoke to Freund—who quit his own fashion brand to start producing conceptual art—about his criticism of mass consumerism, and how it finds form in his creative practice.
There are two parts to 'Selbstportrait': many different people looking the same, and then one person looking different in many ways. What was your vision for this project?
The idea started when I was photographing a model for a fashion lookbook. In one of the pictures, I thought the model looked so much like how I would portray myself; I saw myself in her. So I thought, is it possible to make a self-portrait when you're not even in the picture? My main idea was to photograph sameness in the form of people wearing my clothes. But to make them more comfortable, I wore theirs too: when they undressed, I undressed. And then a new question "Why is it funny when men wear 'women's' clothes and not the other way around? "arose—is there even gendered clothing? One of the most interesting parts about it was when I wore some of the female outfits. People were laughing, and so I said, why is it actually funny? Then there's a serious moment where people start thinking about it. Why is it funny when men wear 'women's' clothes and not the other way around? Why isn't it also funny when men wear trousers?
Can you explain a little about the purpose of swapping clothes with strangers?
We have so much physical connection to our own clothes, it's weird to be in someone else's. Some I felt really comfortable, and with others it was strange. For example, if there was a person with a different body size to mine, the clothes are sitting differently. And that was quite interesting to have this very personal but temporary connection with so many different outfits.
What is the message being sent by wearing the same outfit every day?
If we think about clothing production, seasons and trends, it's unbelievable how many different outfits there are being produced. Do I want to wear different sneakers every day? Sure, I'd like that, but do I want to be part of the big footprint that it's leaving"In the end, it doesn't matter what you wear, it comes down to the person and their expression." on the planet? No. So I'm raising a new question, is it even reasonable to have so many different outfits?
Why do you think having lots of different outfits is such an important part of people's identities?
People try and put on a layer to portray something, and it's easy to do that via clothing. But if you are truly you, it doesn't matter what you wear, because appearances can sometimes hide what really makes a person unique and special. So that's the thing with this project: is it the clothing, or the human? I want to say it's the human. In the end, it doesn't matter what you wear, it comes down to the person and their expression. So it's beautiful because it brings out the human element.
'Selbstportrait' is on show until the 15th of July 2018 at the Stu

Sahara Turner Construction Limited Connects Two B.I.D Winning Global Construction Giants from India and the U.S.
The President of Turner Construction International, Ali H. Odeh, received the Century International Quality ERA Award from BID's President Jose E. Prieto.
Sahara India Pariwar, another B.I.D. award winner and a premier real estate developer in India, and Acropolis Capital Group, a London based private equity firm, have embarked on a ground breaking joint venture to form Sahara Turner Construction Limited. The partnership will serve the construction and development market of India with plans to build a chain of integrated townships called 'Sahara City Homes', in addition to other projects, an endeavor with an estimated value of $25 billion USD over 20 years.
India expects to invest approximately $500 billion- $1 trillion USD in the country's infrastructure, which presents enormous opportunity. Sahara Turner Construction Limited will also pursue third-party building-construction projects, and aims to be a leading, multi-product, integrated construction services company which covers the life cycle of building infrastructure and real estate projects. "This joint venture is the coming together of people who believe in providing the best available international quality and technology to India," comments 'Saharasri' Subrata Roy Sahara, Managing Worker & Chairman of Sahara India Pariwar.
Turner Construction brings over 110 years of industry experience and consistently completes $8 billion USD of construction annually with upwards of 1,200 projects per year in over 60 countries with a staff of over 5000. Turner's accolades include the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure, and the Taipei 101, the world's second tallest building.
In an interview on the Indian TV program "Your Call," Subrata Roy, the founder and Chairman of Sahara, disclosed the company's most recent market value of over $13 billion USD. Sahara India Pariwar is proud to have the "World's Largest Family" with 11 million employees. The conglomerate has diversified business interests ranging from finance, infrastructure and housing, media and entertainment, consumer merchandise retail, as well as manufacturing and information technology. Sahara's real estate flagship company, Sahara Prime City Limited is one of the largest real estate development companies in India.
In 2012, Sahara India Pariwar received the same BID award as Turner Construction. At the Intercontinental Convention Center in Geneva, Switzerland, both sides of the Sahara Turner Construction Limited partnership received the same BID award in subsequent years.
Ali H. Odeh, President and General Manager of Turner Construction International for the Middle East, received the Century International Quality ERA Award in Geneva, Switzerland from BID President Jose E. Prieto.


It's off to the blistery north for me this weekend to celebrate Ten Key Ninja's birthday with some Whirlyball (updates on that when I return). Turns out, it's been some time since I've visited during the winter months and I know people can develop allergies so I'm crossing my fingers that I haven't somehow developed Cold Urticaria. I imagine I'm good to go though as I've never had an allergic reaction to an ice cold beverage or the lovely ocean water on a "winter" day. What I am not looking forward to is the ice. I hate ice, it's hard and slippery, and I am clumsy. I think we're even going ice skating, which to me is like paying someone to fall and hurt myself. Ice is just water that won't let you go swimming in it. Generally, I'm not a fan, at least when it's outside of my glass. Back in a bit!
I enjoy the title so much :) Two words: unseasonably warm.

Q: Assembly Language on Ubuntu So I was currently studying about assembly language and I came across this awesome command on terminal, gcc -S filename.cpp, that produces the assembly code of a C++ source file.
But after I installed NASM and tried to link and compile the .S file (I also tried to use .asm by copy-pasting the code from the .s file), I only ended up facing errors in the terminal.
I am sure there were no errors in the C++ source file because its just a hello world program, but I know that I am missing something and Im hoping someone can point it out for me.
Here is the c++ source code:

Anthropology class reaches out to Waltham community
ameyers
Section: News
Last Sunday, Brandeis students enrolled in the Anthropology of Gender class spent 4 hours cleaning up at the Prospect Hill Terrace apartments in Waltham as part of an effort by the Community Engaged Learning Program at Brandeis University. Partners in the event included the not-for-profit organization the Waltham Alliance to Create Housing (WATCH), Waltham Public Housing, Community Service Department, and the Brandeis Pluralism Alliance. Participants in the effort painted a mural and several fences, planted flowers, and cleaned up the area around an apartment complex. The event also included a barbecue and was attended by the Mayor of Waltham, Jeannette A. McCarthy.
The course, which is taught by Prof. Ellen Schattschneider (ANTH), is part of an attempt to reach out to the surrounding community and combine academics with hands on learning. Students from other courses also participated in the event. The clean up effort was coordinated by Academic Director for Community-Engaged Learning and Assistant Professor of Anthropology Mark Auslander
As the university's Academic Director of Community-Engaged Learning, I'm really excited to see all the initiatives being taken in different courses across the campus, to build effective partnerships with varied community organizations in Waltham. The Anthropology of Gender class did a remarkable job in preparing for and implementing the workday, Auslander said in an email. He added, the garden is so beautiful, and the children's mural is full of life and dynamism.
Organizers of the event believed the most important area that needed improvement in the community was the large central fenced-in area. The Prospect Hill Terrace, built in 1948 for returning American GI's, has deteriorated over the last 60 years. Renovation included the restoration of a barren courtyard for community gatherings and a basketball court. Students were able to fund the event after they collected donations from various establishments around Waltham.
Schattschneider explained in an email, I am deeply proud of all the work the students in Anthropology of Gender did. They worked closely to convince local merchants, including Wagon Wheel Nursery, Hannaford Supermarket, Johnson Paints, Waltham Paint and Wallpaper, Shaws Supermarket, Nickerson Paints, and Lexington Gardens to donate supplies for the workday.
Auslander explained of Prospect Hill Terrace, It is just about the same age as the university, but while we are one of the wealthiest institutions in Waltham, Prospect Hill has long been a site of persistent poverty and injustice. Given the University's commitment to social justice, this is a natural place for us to partner with.
It was really a pleasure a couple of nights after the workday to be at Prospect Hill at a tenants' meeting and to see how energized the residents are in the wake of the workday, Auslander added. They are reviving their tenants association and making plans for a new community center. We are all looking forward to a long and productive partnership with Waltham Housing Authority, the Waltham Alliance to Create Housing, and the Prospect Hill and Chesterbrook tenants associations.
Schattschneider agreed, saying that the students worked tirelessly throughout the Prospect Hill complex, arranging and planting the garden, clearing the large unsightly fenced in central area, and cleaning up the basketball court area and painting an impressive mural on the wall at one end of the basketball court.

Interaction space-form through motion, fracture and color
"Dynamism and Deconstructivism" is a multidisciplinary art project where converge math, programming and video art. It's the full version of a series of abstract videos realized with generative code and inspired by Futurism and Deconstructivism in the visual arts.
Futurism, whose dynamism is the main characteristic, and Deconstructivism are analyzed to find the features of these two movements.
Motion and speed, chaos and fracture, form and deformation, color and light are features that belong to both movements although with different meanings. Each video is suggested by them.
Dynamism and deconstructivism Nr. 1 - Motion and speed
Futurism is the hymn to modernity and the myth of the speed: motion represents the superiority of dynamic versus static. Deconstructivism realizes a static disorder by showing instability through disarticulated geometric shapes generate the motion in the space.
Dynamism and Deconstructivism Nr.1 (Screenshot 1)
Dynamism and Deconstructivism Nr.1 (Screenshot 2 and 3)
Dynamism and deconstructivism Nr. 2 - Chaos and fracture
Futurists give attention to cities: the metropolis caught in its development generates caos, a multiplication of points of view, a dynamic interaction with the surrounding space. In Deconstructivism there is a fracture between form and function, a fragmentation of lines and forms, a new vision of space and forms: the chaos.
Dynamism and deconstructivism Nr. 3 - Form and deformation
Futurists represent the dynamic that changes constantly, transforms and advances in the future into a continuous generation of new forms. Deconstructivists deform the forms and the spaces, in the space there is a compenetration between interior and exterior.
Dynamism and deconstructivism Nr. 4 - Color and light
For futurists, every object doesn't live in isolation but its motion changes for the influence of other objects not only in the form but also as a result of the reflections of colors and light. In Deconstructivism the light and the colors are used to accentuate the directions of motion and forms, highlighting the characteristics of the different materials.

ORANGE PARK – Ridgeview High middle hitter Devinn Nickson is fairly new to varsity level volleyball; fairly new to facing a six foot plus opposing hitter across from her and also fairly new at being the focal point of her team's attack and defense scheme.
The 5'-8" Nickson, with two thunderous blocks on Orange Park's 6'-2" Avery Kinlaw, kicked off a fifth game 15-7 Panther win that led to a hard-fought 3-2 match win for Ridgeview over district 4-6A rival Orange Park High Sept. 6 at the Panthers Den.
"I don't know, I just thought I have to get up there and compete with her," said Nickson, who also got a service ace for the Panthers to push the score to 6-2 before outside hitter Kaelye Kellar pounded two hard scoring hits to score the game 9-3.
Nickson fifth game heroics seemed to ignite the Panther defense with Saige Rivers also blocking an Orange Park salvo from Amanda Rodriguez before Kellar's two smashes; one off Rodriguez, the second off Kalli Winder.
For Ridgeview High coach Destiny Brightman, a reminder to her Panther team that they were part of three consecutive district titles, was enough to wake up the dormant attack after both teams exchanged 25-20 wins in games one and two, then put down scores of 25-20 for the Raiders and 25-18 for the Panthers to set up the fifth game.
In game one, Ridgeview pulled away from a close game that stayed within a point; 19-18, until field errors by the Raiders and a final scoring shot from Aubrey Brown gave Ridgeview the 25-20 win.
In game two, Orange Park turned an 11-11 tie to an 18-14 edge off alternate scoring shots from Kinlaw and blocks from Sydney Breu at the net as the Raiders surged to the 25-20 win with Kinlaw winning a net battle with Nickson for the Raiders' 23rd point. Kinlaw led the Raiders with 12 scoring shots on the night that added to her team-leading 59 for the season. Raider teammate Lauren Ellis added 11 against Ridgeview with 45 for the season.
The Raiders surged off a 9-9 game score to push to a 21-16 score en route to the 25-20 win with Amanda Rodriguez using some finesse to score off touches over the outstretched hands of Nickson and Saige Rivers for Ridgeview.
In the fourth game, Ridgeview stormed away from an early 5-5 tie score as Kellar got hot from her outside hitter slot with sets from Mackenzie Sutton moving the ball quickly away from Kinlaw's block attempts.
Ridgeview libero Ashlyn Holford finished off the fourth game with hard sets that pushed the Raider defense as the Panthes put a 4-0 scoring surge to win 25-18.
Both teams stay in district 4-6 play with Wolfson visiting Ridgeview on September 11 and Orange Park hosting Baker County on September 13.

Bishop Invites All College Students to His Palm Sunday Mass at Lehigh University's Packer Memorial Church
College students from around the Diocese are invited to join Bishop Alfred Schlert as he celebrates Palm Sunday Mass at 9:10 p.m. April 10 in Lehigh University's Packer Memorial Church.
"Palm Sunday marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem," Bishop Schlert said. "I look forward to celebrating this special liturgy with college students as we embark on our journey through Holy Week together."
There will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and Confessions will be available, before the Mass, from 8 p.m. through 9 p.m.
Palm Sunday is named for the palm branches the crowds spread on the ground as Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey.
The Palm Sunday Mass also is known for the recitation of the Passion Gospel, a retelling of the account of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection.

5 Questions For YNWA
"The inspiration behind the troop cards was wanting to give our community a way in which they could be more involved in the success and the growth of BlackPool. "
Kaibyō
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months, you will already be well aware of the incredible innovation that is BlackPool Troop Cards.
We here at BlackPool are very excited about this new inclusion to the ecosystem (along with their ability to reward our most loyal community members) and none of us more so than the man behind the plan, YNWA.
Most people will know YNWA from his absolute domination of the Sorare scene, but we took the time in this interview to focus in more on the theme of Troop Cards and answer some of the communities most asked questions in relation to the topic.
As always you can watch the full video linked at the bottom of this article, but for now, put on your team colours, sit back, crack a beer and enjoy as we provide...
5 Questions For YNWA.
YNWA please introduce yourself.
Sure, well hello, I'm Mark, also known as YNWA. I think most people know me for playing a football collectible fantasy game called Sorare which I've done pretty much 24/7 since February 2019. Last year I joined the BlackPool DAO whereby I represent them by playing the game Sorare and in my spare time… I support Liverpool, go and watch them at home games and then most other things in my life are revolving around football as well.
What are Troop Cards?
So, Troop Cards are Blackpool's very own NFTs. They are designed and produced for our community to engage and follow the success that we have in the games that we play and they provide a number of different perks - both in the BlackPool ecosystem and specific to the series that they have been created for. So in this case we are talking about series one - the genesis edition - which are linked to the success of myself in Sorare.
What was the inspiration behind them?
So, the inspiration behind the troop cards was wanting to give our community a way in which they could be involved in the success and the growth of BlackPool.
Last year I had the fortune of meeting some really talented artists that wanted to break into the NFT space. I met them through football connections - they design very very cool illustrations of footballers that are in the news. They work with the teams, they work with the players - and yeah - we just got round a table and we wanted to thrash out an idea originally that was going to be a sort of deck based card game.
But the idea just evolved, we just kept adding on and adding on 'what if we could do this?' 'what if we could do that?' and in the end we wanted to shape it in a way where people could collect certain cards that were linked to BlackPool, have certain benefits that were linked to ownership of these cards and almost play vicariously through some of the vertical managers that we've got.
And so this first series was, naturally, about footballers. We took on the idea of wanting to create things which were different to what we see in the marketplace at the moment - so there are many ways in which you can buy you favourite footballer or memorabilia relating to your team - but we wanted to look back in history and we identified what we think is a world eleven of footballing superstars and depict those in a way where there were various clues on the card so it was a way that - yeah we could engage more closely with our community and give them something as a badge of honor or something which they could collect themselves and cherish in line with how they see BlackPool succeeding.
How do you get a Troop Card?
Right so the big question: how can you get one?
Well there are a number of different ways you can get access to our troop cards. They have been designed in a way where we have three different scarcities that will appeal to people of all shapes and sizes.
So we have Common cards, Rare cards, and a Unique version of each of the footballing eleven. The primary way in which you can acquire acard is via auction, we've got a new marketplace on the BlackPool site which will allow you to view all of the cards, see what's on auction and then find one which is suitable for yourself.
The next way in which we will provide these cards is to our token holders. So each month we will be taking a snapshot of our token holders and will be rewarding based on certain metrics. So if you are a token holder then you may be in with a good chance of getting some of these cards dropped to you.
And last but not least, we want to reward those in the community that have performed and excelled and helped and stood out. So through our vertical managers we will be asking them for recommendations on pointing us in the direction of people that have done outstanding performance and for that we will reward troop cards to those.
What perks do Troop Cards Provide?
So, the perks and benefits. Well for me, I feel that the main perk for ownership of a troop card is that it gives you direct access to a yield that I am able to derive from continuing to be successful at Sorare.
So just to put things into perspective, I'm currently still the number one manager on Sorare in terms of all time earnings. In 2022 I've surpassed 280 ETH of prize earnings and the expectation is that that should continue for the foreseeable with the cards and collection I've got.
So what we're going to do is each week we're going to take a percentage of the yield - every time I hit a podium or a first place - part of that will be funnelled into a yield gauge in the same way that our token holders enjoy from staking tokens on our protocol. So you will be able to take your troop card, you will be able to stake it on our protocol and every time I hit a podium every time I hit a first place, part of that winnings will then go directly into feeding those people that are enjoying an ownership of a troop card.
But that's not it! outside of Sorare we will also have a number of benefits across the BlackPool, Stake DAO and rekt ecosystem.
Every time we attend one of the main ethereum conferences worldwide there will be tickets to events, there will be many different ways in which we can use these troop cards. They will effectively be a raffle ticket for you and every month there will be something cool that we do where we will just literally pick some winners at random from our troop card owners and they will receive whatever benefit that is.
Last but not least, if you are an existing BlackPool token holder then there will be airdrops specific to the activity that you are already making within the protocol. So we will have dedicated troop cards that are dropped as a reward, as a thank you for the activity that you are already undertaking.
Once again we would like to thank YNWA for taking part in this interview, (although he didn't really have much choice). It was extremely insightful to hear all the mechanics of this project straight from the source and we hope that it has helped to answer some of your questions as well.
As always, interested to hear your thoughts on things, so let us know on Twitter with the hashtags #fivequestionsfor or #TroopsCards and stay tuned for the next instalment where we will be speaking with another big name from the world of Web3 and eSports. Or as we like to call it, 3Sports.
Peace out apes.

Contrary to what most people think, sports booking is not illegal in the Philippines. However, one must know that not anybody can operate a gambling facility in the country. The licensing body that regulates all sports booking and gambling activities in the country is PAGCOR.
Without the blessing of this organization, the gambling facility is illegal. Here, we will be discussing how people in the country place their wagers on favorite Philippine sports.
The Philippines allows companies to operate casinos and online sports booking facilities inside the country, physically.
However, most of these companies are internationally owned and are only licensed by the country to operate if they will offer their gambling services outside the Philippines.
The only reason that these gambling facilities operate in the Philippines is that these investors can enjoy the benefits of economic zones in the country where they will pay fewer taxes, and may even qualify for government subsidies like free utilities (water and electricity). Of course, there are international companies located outside the Philippines that accept Filipino wagers. This is not illegal, but there are very few legitimate sports booking that operate in the Philippines, which also take Filipino bettors.
The three most popular sports in the country are horseracing, cockfighting, and basketball. To bet on these games, you need to have access to betting kiosks. If you don't, you can make your bets from land-based casinos that offer sports betting.
For cockfights, every region has its own cockfight coliseum. Derbies are held weekly, and there are championships that happen in each area a least once a year. There are no online sports betting companies that support cockfights.
For online sports booking, the dominating company is Mega Sports World (MSW) However, you still need to place your wagers from kiosks.
There is no way to gamble online in the Philippines for sport-related events, even if MSW has an online system. It is illegal in the Philippines to allow any Filipino to place bets through a computer, except the computers of the gambling operators. As such, you cannot make online wagers from your house.
Your only recourse is to go to a brick-and-mortar facility and let the cashier do the betting for you before the sports activity commences. The company, MSW, has hundreds of outlets spread around the country. However, a vast majority of these are located in the capital region of the Philippines, which is Metro Manila. Or you can phone in your bets through the company. Since the company has no online betting system, you need to find an outlet and physically fund your bets. If you are going to phone in your wager, you must be a registered member of MSW. MSW offers limited international sports. Most of the games are local to the country.
The other gambling company that is licensed is e-Games. It is a brick-and-mortar facility that has hundreds of branches in the country. Inside these facilities are computers. You pay the cashier, and the cashier will give you a card that has your ID number. Sit in front of any of the computers inside the facility, and you can access table games like blackjack, poker, and bingo, and more. You can only cash out after you surrender that card to the cashier, and you will be paid in cash.
To fund your bets or your membership, you can do it either by cash or by credit card. You can do this by dropping by the kiosks and handing over your payment to the cashier. You can also hand over your credit card, and the cashier will swipe it. The cash balance will be reflected in your membership card, which stores information about you. However, you cannot access your membership information online, as there is no legal online gambling website that operates in the country.
As a member, you will get what is called an MSW card, and you can use this card to cash out your winnings, or you can also go to the kiosk and get real cash for your payout.
The Philippines has strict gambling laws, most especially so for online gambling. As such, sports betting is a tad difficult to access.
If you live in remote areas, you cannot place your wager if there is no betting outlet, and you are left with either betting against your friends, or gambling in international sites.

People need to parse every question a Web form asks them, formulate their response to that question then enter their response into the space the form has provided. The best way to speed up that process -of course- is to not ask the question at all.
For example, if you want to provide geo-location targeted information to customers of your Web site in the United States, chances are you only need their ZIP code and not their full mailing address. That's four less questions people need to answer: Address line one and two, city, and state.
However, when you actually need to ship an item to someone a ZIP code by itself won't suffice. Although many retailers in the US use directories to retrieve home addresses when they have only a ZIP code and credit card number, I've never seen an e-commerce checkout form that uses this method. So removing the address fields won't work. Instead, you might want to consider how the question is being asked or how people are prompted to provide a response.
On the plus side, this interaction design removes some awkward ways of answering questions. Specifically: drop-down menus for states that run 50 entries high.
On the negative side, the way a simple question is asked has been made potentially more complicated. When faced with a set of inputs that match the structure of a mailing address, people often skip over labels as they fill in the pieces. The components and layout of an address are familiar to just about everyone in the US. The Weber site breaks this structure by asking for ZIP code out of order.
International customers are also out of luck because Weber does not ship overseas. If they did, clearly this interaction would not work when specifying international addresses that do not utilize the United States ZIP code system.
Another indicator that the question being asked has gotten more complicated is the extensive help text (rendered in red text) near the city and state selection. Odds are Weber had to add this to help people understand what to expect from the form. A potentially simpler solution, like this one found on the Apple store, asks the question in a familiar way and also provides a simple way to answer.
So though Weber removes some unnecessary inputs, I think the jury is still out on whether this simplifies the form or not.

Yahoo Breach Highlights Cloud Risk
Imperva's January Hacker Intelligence Report examines dangers of third-party code in cloud computing
Redwood Shores, Calif., January 29, 2013 - Imperva, Inc. (NYSE: IMPV), a pioneer and leader of a new category of business security solutions for critical applications and high-value data in the data center, today announced its January Hacker Intelligence Initiative Report, "Lessons Learned from the Yahoo! Hack," which examines the dangers of third-party code in cloud computing.
In December 2012, a hacker breached Yahoo! with an SQL injection attack that took advantage of a vulnerability in a third-party application that was provided on the Yahoo! Web site. This attack highlights the risk that many Web applications face: Web applications may contain some sort of third-party code, such as APIs, that was not created by the developers.
"The weak link in the Yahoo! attack was not programmed by Yahoo! developers, nor was it even hosted on the Yahoo! Servers, and yet the company found itself breached as a result of third-party code," said Amichai Shulman, CTO, Imperva. "The challenge presented by the Yahoo! breach is that Web-facing businesses should take responsibility to secure third-party code and cloud-based applications."
In "Lessons Learned from the Yahoo! Hack," Imperva recommends specific business and technical steps. From a business standpoint, for example, enterprises should:
· Put in place legal requirements in a contract for what you will and will not accept from a security perspective.
· Incorporate security due diligence for any merger or acquisition activity.
Technically, Imperva recommends enterprises:
· Conduct a Web application vulnerability security assessment. A manual review of Web application security or proper use of automated Web application security vulnerability assessment can identify potential vulnerabilities that should be addressed in the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
· Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF). A WAF serves as a security policy enforcement point that prevents vulnerable Web applications from being exploited.
