i tried sending the video file directly as a response without the html file which worked but i need to use a html file for the project i am bulding

A: You can only send one file with res.sendFile(). You should serve the vid_1.mp4 route similar to the html page like this:
app.get("/vid_1.mp4", (req, res) => {
    res.sendFile(__dirname + "/vid_1.mp4")
})

You could also have a public folder to serve many more files like this. You can find more about this here: https://expressjs.com/en/starter/static-files.html

CONFLICT AND CONCLUSION – THE BATTLE AT WHITINS POND
This was swan territory. Many geese live nearby on other ponds and along the banks of the many rivers and streams of the Blackstone River watershed. But this pond belonged to the swans and the swans and the geese, like the rival gangs in a turf war, don't share.
The geese scouts are already in place, unbeknownst (apparently) to the swans.
Swans will happily share their nesting grounds with ducks and divers. Herons pose a serious threat to smaller fowl (all fowl are smaller) because they will eat the eggs and (if they can get them) the young of ducks, geese and swans until the babies are big enough to defend themselves.
Herons are more solitary and like loons, build nests in places hard to find by people or and other birds.
This spring, the geese came to the pond. In an expansionist move that broke all previous treaties, they moved in and actually took over a nest belonging the a pair of lordly and bad-tempered swans. It was war. We were there when the geese conducted a surprise raid on the swans.
First, the geese surrounded the nest and infiltrated. Geese are faster, organized and more mobile than swans. Swans are bigger, heavier and hold grudges. Geese can take off and land easily from almost anywhere, land or water. Swans need a long running start across flat water to get airborne. They are virtually helpless on land, bodies so heavy they can barely waddle. They are disorganized. Swans aren't good rank and file soldiers, but they compensate with long memories and seriously bad attitudes.
The geese surrounded the nest while one of the two swans was away. The timing was good for the geese. With only one swan to defend against the attack, the lone swan was out-flanked.
The battle continued while papa swan paddles back to the nest. But he's taking far too long.
The odds are not with the swan, alone, defending her turf. Where's her partner? Paddling like mad, but he was on the far side of the pond … and will not be back in time.
So what happened? We came back. There were no sign of geese, but the swans were still there. They must have rebuilt a nest elsewhere, because there were more than the usual number of cygnets.
Feeding happily, sharing space with Mama Duck and her ducklings.
Taking the family for a stroll while papa duck keeps watch o'er the ramparts. No geese here!
The kids venture out on their own. They are now big enough to defend themselves and are likely to survive to maturity. It's not, mind you, that I have anything against the geese. But they have taken over the majority of ponds and lakes in the valley. There are far fewer sites where swans breed. If they can't share space — and clearly, they can't — than I'd prefer this place for swans and ducks.
And that's the story, from March through October. What became of the nest the geese stole from the swans? Did they raise goslings or fly back to one of the many breeding grounds already "owned" by Canada Geese? I don't know. The first pictures of the battle for the nest were taken in March, then some more in April (at which time the swans had built a new nest and were guarding it with considerable vigor), June and the most recent ones in early October. All was calm and sleepy on the pond.
We haven't been there since but we'll try to get back at least once before the snow flies.
This was serious life and death conflict for the swans and geese. Breeding grounds are critical to species survival. The issue wasn't exactly resolved, but it was settled. Apparently. Not unlike humans, there is no compromise between these two large species of aggressive water fowl. They cannot share space and do not want to. That's all she wrote.
NOTES FOR PHOTOGRAPHER
I have a camera with me all the time. These days, I carry a Panasonic ZS-19 superzoom. I also have an even longer superzoom, an Olympus SP-810UZ (36X zoom) with which I took the battle pictures in April. The lens is amazing, more than 800 mm but it is slow to focus and a bit too clunky to carry all the time.
The majority of these pictures were shot with the Panasonic. The lens is 20X, but focuses quickly. Olympus has a new superzoom all-in-one, just out. It is purportedly faster than anything they've offered before. I'll wait for the reviews.
I have other compacts, one of which is a lovely Canon 100S that has a better, faster lens and can shoot RAW. It's a better camera than the little Panasonic, but only 5X. If you shoot birds and other wildlife, you need a really long lens. No amount of quality will matter if you can't get the shot.
If you plan to carry a camera all the time, get the best quality compact superzoom you can afford. I got a good deal on this one (open box from Adorama). There are newer versions of it, but they aren't better, just more bells and whistles.
All these pictures were taken on the fly. As we passed the pond, I saw swans and we stopped. If I hadn't had a camera, I wouldn't have gotten any pictures. Your cell phone is not enough.

HE COULDN'T MASTER HIS JOHNSON*
Eddie was a sad man. An impotent man. Wandering the alleys and grocery store aisles. Hopeless, lost. "I can't get no satisfaction!" he cried to the empty skies. "Is there no hope?" Salty tears dribbled down his grizzled cheeks and soaked his goatee.
Then, his prayers were answered. Help arrived. Pills. Blue pills. Orange pills. Yellow pills. Pills he could take to change Mr. Johnson into Sir Johnson, a swordsman, a powerful and manly tool to be reckoned with.
With a chemical arsenal at his command, Eddie could choose whatever best suited his plans.The blue pills gave him a few hours. The yellow ones, well, they could give him a whole day. Best of all were the orange ones. Mind blowing. He was Ever-Ready Eddie, the energizer bunny of studs.
Alas poor Eddie. He ignored the warnings. When his erection lasted more than four hours, he did not go to an emergency room or see a doctor. He kept going. Even when he heard the desperate calling of Johnson begging for mercy, for rest, Eddie wouldn't stop.
When Johnson flagged, he would take another pill and party on.
The day of reckoning came. Following an erection he had maintained for far too long, Sir Johnson threw away his sword, removed his armor and tossed it to the ground.
"I'm done," said Johnson. "I will rise no more." Eddie was unready. His Johnson refused to engage. No amount of manual urging or chemical encouragement could get it to so much as look upward.
He couldn't master his Johnson.

GEEKOGRAPHY: DOWN IN FLAMES WITH QUICKSAND AND ALLIGATORS
I'm pretty good with computers. I'm not an engineer, but I'm reasonably competent and not easily daunted. But, there comes a day for humility, when one finds oneself in the high-tech equivalent of quicksand. With grinning alligators on all sides.
It started, as it so often does, with an update. An Adobe update to CS5. I have CS6, but when I installed it, the guy at Adobe suggested I just leave the earlier version on the computer (bad idea and I shouldn't have listened). This arrangement was dodgy from the start. My system was never sure to which version it should default … and Adobe kept sending updates for both.
The moment this update downloaded, CS5 started throwing error messages about a missing DLL file and CS6 stopped working. I realized it was a bad download. Not the first bad download of my computer-using life. I didn't panic, even though I wanted to scream. I calmly did what I usually do: I restored the computer to an earlier point, before the download. That pretty much always fixes the problem.
So I took a deep breath and tried reinstalling CS5, hoping that it would restore the missing DLL and all would be right on heaven and earth.
All of this took place while the Red Sox were whipping the Cardinals and winning the World Series at Fenway Park. A good thing because there isn't anything more boring than uninstalling, installing, reinstalling and rebooting a computer. Repeatedly. For hours.
Photoshop is a big application, so whatever you are doing, it takes a while. When the reinstall failed, I bit the bullet and uninstalled CS5. Unfortunately, CS6 still wouldn't load. So I uninstalled CS6. Then I rebooted. And rebooted again. Just to make sure.
Grateful for that I actual own the installation discs, I reinstalled CS5. My version of CS6 is an upgrade and won't install unless it finds an earlier version of Photoshop (it turns out there's a way around this, but I didn't know it). It installed. I took a deep breath, cheered for the Sox and went to bed.
I repeated the operation on my desktop, after which I decided to adjourn to the living room and relax. I took CS6 with me so I could install it on the laptop where I confidently believed I had already fixed the problem.
When I turned on my laptop, the Adobe updater popped up and without thinking, I clicked okay. At that moment, I knew I was doomed.
Down in flames. Not merely back to ground zero. Underground. Deep underground. I tried uninstalling CS5, but it threw errors up the wazoo. I tried (again) restoring to an earlier point. A much earlier point. Last week. When the world was young and innocent.
This brought back a shadow version of CS6. It looked like the application, except nothing worked. CS6 wouldn't open. CS5 was dead. I could not uninstall either application. It suggested using the Adobe Cleaning Tool (download it from Adobe's website). I used it. The situation got much worse.
I threw in the towel. I was in over my head. Far, far over my head. I had to do the thing I most dreaded. I had to call Tech Support.
First call. After 9 prompts, I am told it will be a 9 to 10 minute wait. I try to put the phone on speaker and hit END instead. I look at the dead telephone. Take a deep breath and dial again. Go through all of the prompts.
Second call. I'm told it will be a 4 to 6 minute wait. This time, I carefully find the speaker button and put the phone down and start to check my email. A minute later, I hear the sound of a human voice. Male. Actually, I've never gotten a woman at Adobe. Do they employ any? Just asking.
The guy isn't listening. He's got a script and he is determined to follow it, no matter what. He's telling me to uninstall and I'm trying to tell him I can't. Finally, he says I should wait a moment, he'll be right back. Forty minutes later, annoying music commences and I realize he's gone for good.
I reboot my computer and patiently, oh so patiently, call Adobe again.
Third call. The Charm! I get someone who listens (yay). "Did the previous technician do anything with your computer?"
"No," I reply. "He said he'd be back, but when the music came on, I got the feeling he was gone for good."
Chuckle. "Okay. I need you to … "
He took over the computer. Eventually, we went deep into the soul of my laptop and extracted — one piece at a time — both versions of Photoshop. Nine gigs and more than 40,000 files. That's right. 40,000. I didn't know my recycle bin could hold that much. It took me almost 15 minutes to empty it. That's a lot of files.
We then reinstalled CS6 and I discovered you don't need the earlier version, just its serial number.
I hope all of you forgive me for not checking out your sites today. I was busy. Do I know how to have a good time or what?

AlayaCare Posted on Dec 6, 2021
Additions to C-Suite and former leaders from Clio, Visiting Nurse Service of New York, and Shopify to drive AlayaCare's growth as a leading provider of home and community care software
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 6, 2021- AlayaCare, a leading cloud-based health care platform, today announced the promotion of Brady Murphy to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and the addition of three new seasoned executives to its executive team: George Psiharis as Chief Operations Officer (COO), and Marki Flannery and Jean-Michel Lemieux as members of AlayaCare's Board of Directors. Murphy, who formerly served as VP of Sales and Marketing, will continue to lead global sales and marketing in addition to overseeing AlayaCare's account management department. The new leaders collectively bring more than 75 years of experience spanning enterprise, home health and SaaS technology, and will play a pivotal role as AlayaCare continues to gain traction as the leading software for home, community and residential care providers.

"We look forward to the immediate impact that Brady, George, Marki and Jean-Michel will have in building on AlayaCare's success and passion for driving the next generation of health care through modern technology."
Brady Murphy, CRO
Murphy has been with AlayaCare for nearly eight years, most recently serving as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. An accomplished marketer, speaker, and entrepreneur, he has been part of two exits of start-ups in the technology field. The first startup brought to marketers the world of mobile marketing, his company was one of the first mobile marketing agencies to emerge in the digital boom in the early 2000s. The second startup was a pioneering software company to bring mobility to workforce management.
George Psiharis, COO
Before joining AlayaCare as COO, Psiharis climbed the ranks at Clio, a legal technology company, where he grew a small startup of 10 employees to an industry leader with customers in over 100 countries, a multi-billion-dollar valuation, and one of Canada's most celebrated company cultures. After an 11-year run at Clio, Psiharis brings his rich operations experience to AlayaCare, where he will spearhead strategic planning and a wide variety of business functions.
"I'm thrilled to be joining the AlayaCare team at this exciting stage of their journey," said George Psiharis, COO at AlayaCare. "Adrian and his team have built an incredible culture, product and business and despite already having accomplished so much, they are still in the early stages of the transformative impact they will have on the home health market. I'm looking forward to jumping on board and working closely with this team to accelerate AlayaCare's mission to empower care providers to achieve better health outcomes."
Marki Flannery, Board of Directors
Flannery's role as a board member of AlayaCare will focus on providing the AlayaCare leadership team with additional knowledge, expertise and guidance on the market as they continue to evolve their technology to meet current and future industry needs.
Flannery previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), the largest not-for-profit home- and community-based health care organization in the United States. During her tenure, Flannery also led VNSNY's Partners in Care, which provides a wide range of personalized home care services. Under her leadership, Partners in Care became the largest agency of its kind in the greater New York City area, expanding staffing, service geography, and growth in its different product lines,
Jean-Michel Lemieux, Board of Directors
As a new AlayaCare board member, Lemieux will build upon a strong foundation laid by AlayaCare founders to provide direction for the organization as it enters the next phase of growth.
Lemieux previously served as the Chief Technical Officer and Senior Vice President of Engineering at Shopify, where he was responsible for the company's technology strategy, infrastructure, and platform. Since leaving Shopify in July of 2021, Lemieux has become an advisor, board member, and investor, helping founders and entrepreneurs build and scale their companies and products.
"One of our greatest health care challenges is ensuring that those with serious chronic illness and other maladies of aging can remain as independent as possible," said Jean-Michel Lemieux. "Technology will be a critical component of home health care and will help share data, provide access to care professionals, and much more. Technology will be key to bringing home care at scale to all our communities. I'm excited to join AlayaCare to help them grow and scale their home care software platform."

Why Doesn't the International Space Station Have a Name?
The International Space Station is primarily a science laboratory in space. NASA would like to invest in ventures beyond Earth orbit, but industry leaders fear what will happen if the agency pulls out its investment in the station before a commercial options is available.
The largest and most expensive structure ever built in space is still waiting for a name.
The International Space Station, a $100 billion project of 15 nations, often is called simply "station" or "ISS" by NASA flight controllers.
"We started talking years ago about naming ISS," Mike Suffredini, NASA's International Space Station program manager, told SPACE.com. "You know, we've been busy building it. We haven't been worrying about what we're going to call it."
During the first mission to the station, Expedition 1, NASA astronaut Bill Shepherd used the call sign "Alpha" to refer to the facility. The name has been used informally off and on over subsequent missions.
"Now is about the time that I would guess it might surface back again and we might start thinking, what do we want to call this thing?" Suffredini said.
But the decision will be complicated, as it must be agreed on by all the space station's international partners: Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe.
Previous space stations have been named by the nations that built them, such as Russia's Space Station Mir and NASA's Skylab orbiting lab. China has named the first module of its space station Tiangong-1 ("Heavenly Palace"). Yet a formal name for the International Space Station remains elusive.
"It really is a partnership decision," Suffredini said. "We can't just go name things."
The focus is on the International Space Station now that NASA's 30-year space shuttle program is done. The last space shuttle landed July 21, capping off the STS-135 mission and the 134 previous shuttle missions that came before it.
The station is home to a rotating crew of six. Even though space shuttles will no longer be transporting astronauts there, U.S. astronauts will rent seats on Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, until commercial American vehicles are ready to carry them.
The American portions of the International Space Station have been designated a U.S. National Laboratory, and NASA has hired an independent nonprofit to manage the research that goes on inside them.
The agency wants to encourage NASA scientists, as well as non-NASA researchers and industry, to use the space station to conduct experiments that capitalize on the microgravity environment. Fields such as biological science, materials research, crystal growth, vaccine development and more are fertile ground for weightless projects, NASA officials say.
Sounds like the kind of enterprise that could use a name.

Q: SPQuery and RowLimit I have around 10000+ rows(Listitems)  in a list I want to query.
I want to iterate each of the item in a timerJob - but I cant take all of them at a time
since : Object Model Override - NO,  ListView threshold - 1000  - in the FARM level and i we cant change this.
What is the way for me to iterate all the 10000+ (like a batch) ??

A: You should use a ContentIterator. This will allow you to iterate over the contents of very large lists without triggering an SPQueryThrottledException.
For example:
SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["MyList"];

// Build query using an iterator-defined WHERE clause
string query = string.Format("<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='MyFieldName'/><Value Type='Text'>MyFieldValue</Value></Eq></Where>{0}", ContentIterator.ItemEnumerationOrderByNVPField);

// Instantiate iterator and use it to process the list
ContentIterator iterator = new ContentIterator();
iterator.ProcessListItems(list, query, ProcessListItem, ProcessListItemError);

Then you'd define your ProcessListItem and ProcessListItemError thusly:
static void ProcessListItem(SPListItem item) {
    Console.WriteLine("ProcessListItem: Name {0}", item.Title);
}

Roger Phillips: North Fork Championship II Goes Big June 6-8 in Idaho
- Posted: May 30, 2013
Competitors will race through the North Fork's trickiest rapids and will have to paddle through slalom gates.
World-class paddlers will descend challenging rapids on the Payette River.
Last year, James Byrd of Boise created one of the biggest whitewater events ever in a state with a long history of big whitewater events.
The goal of the North Fork Championship was simple: Invite some of the best paddlers in the world to race through the hardest rapids in one the West's most challenging rivers – the North Fork of the Payette upstream from Banks.
It wildly succeeded. Byrd is back for an encore. He's adding a new event this year to further boost the adrenaline.
The "boatercross" race will be a head-to-head downriver race through S-Turn rapid about 12 miles north of Banks near Big Eddy Campground. There will be four heats of 15 paddlers racing and bumping through the rapid.
The top three in each heat will advance to the finals through the same course to crown the boatercross champion.
Last year's North Fork Championship not only attracted top athletes and had hundreds of spectators lining the banks of the North Fork on a chilly, rainy day, the echoes of enthusiasm reverberated far beyond Banks.
"The world's best kayakers met on one of Earth's toughest whitewater runs to test themselves and push the limits of the sport," former Boisean Joe Carberry wrote in Canoe and Kayak magazine. "It was a pinnacle moment. And everybody knew it."
This year, the North Fork Championship II is attracting paddlers from as far away as Europe.
But the event is more than a race, it's a whitewater festival and an opportunity to see some amazing athletes challenge a devilishly tricky river.
Last year, I remember sitting in a rainstorm transfixed by the talent that rushed downstream.
The paddlers had just launched off a wooden ramp and splashed into the river with water barely clearing their eyes before they plunged into the Class V whitewater maelstrom known as Jacob's Ladder.
They charged toward an exposed rock, the crux move in the heart of Jacob's Ladder, before dropping over a ledge where the river boiled like a pan of milk on a stove left on high.
They had to catch an eddy, duck behind a slalom gate and continue downstream through another rapid – Golf Course – so named because it is ridden with holes and nearly all of them capable of devouring a kayak.
The North Fork Championship brought back memories for me. For years, I traveled around the Northwest paddling different rivers and attending whitewater events.
One thing that always impressed me was how the best paddlers were casual and friendly, but when they got on the water, they put on a clinic on what's possible in a kayak.
It motivated me to get better. I eventually paddled the North Fork and joined that informal, elite fraternity of kayakers for a brief and shining moment.
So I couldn't help glancing at the rows of people lining the North Fork and wondering how many young paddlers were soaking up the vicarious thrills of such intense whitewater and silently setting goals.
But even if you never dreamed of paddling a Class V rapid or even climbing into a kayak and snapping on a spray skirt, the North Fork Championship is worth a look.
It starts on dry land and a weatherproof setting in the Egyptian Theatre in Boise. There will be a series of short kayaking films shown at the Melt Awards, as well as a display of whitewater photographs.
People who attend the event get to vote on their favorites.
The paddling competition gets underway on Thursday, June 6, with a qualifying race for any paddlers who think they have the chops to chase the big dogs.
They will race for five "wild card" spots in the elite competition.
Interspersed throughout the North Fork Championship will be parties in Crouch with vendor booths, food, drinks, dancing and other activities.
If last year's event is any indicator, there's going to be more amazing kayaking as the North Fork throws its heavyweight haymakers at a group of immensely talented athletes who parry the river's fury with nothing but a paddle.
You won't want to miss it.
Qualifier race, 11 a.m., Three miles upstream from Banks Bridge.
The Melt Awards, 6 p.m., kayaking video and photography contest (films start at 7 p.m.), Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., Boise.
Boatercross/enduro race, 5 p.m., on S-Turn rapid of the North Fork of the Payette River, north of Banks at milepost 90 on Idaho 55.
8 p.m. to 10 p.m., Sponsorship Shoutout party and music in Weilmunster Park, and DJ Revolve show at the Dirty Shame Saloon in Crouch.
Elite race, noon. (Get there early to get a prime rock for spectating.)
Stoke Float begins post race. Open to any paddler who feels comfortable on the North Fork to join the elite paddlers down to Banks bridge.
7 p.m., food available at Weilmunster Park in Crouch and on sale to the public.
North Fork Championship Awards Ceremony, 8 p.m., Weilmunster Park.
Disco party, 10 p.m, Dirty Shame Saloon in Crouch.

Laksen
In 1977, Laksen Sporting began producing quality clothing for hunting and fly fishing, and not least, handmade fly fishing rods, on a small scale in house. Everything was designed, manufactured and sold exclusively in Denmark. In 1979-1980 this changed rapidly, as Laksen Sporting was granted the first European license to manufacture clothing with waterproof Gore-Tex technology. Being one of the first brands to offer real waterproof garments to hunters and fly fishers in Europe, Laksen Sporting grew quickly and the export adventure started. Garments for hunting and shooting soon became the majority of their business and by the end of the 1990s the focus was solely on hunting and shooting. In 1999, they introduced the first lightweight and waterproof-breathable pure wool tweed products, which lead to extensive growth. Today, the continued passion for sporting adventures like shooting, stalking and hunting drives the employees of Laksen Sporting to develop excellent clothing and accessories for any kind of sporting situation in all thinkable weather conditions.

Revitalizing Nuclear Security in an Era of Uncertainty

Read more about Revitalizing Nuclear Security in an Era of Uncertainty
Nuclear security around the world has improved dramatically over the last three decades—which demonstrates that with focused leadership, major progress is possible. But important weaknesses remain, and the evolution of the threat remains unpredictable. The danger that terrorists could get and use a nuclear bomb, or sabotage a major nuclear facility, or spread dangerous radioactive material in a "dirty bomb," remains too high. The United States and countries around the world need to join together and provide the leadership and resources needed to put global nuclear security on a sustained path of continuous improvement, in the never-ending search for excellence in performance.

In a "policy memo" to President-elect Donald Trump, Graham Allison and Dimitri K. Simes write: "The two Chinese characters that make up the word "crisis" can be interpreted as meaning both "danger" and "opportunity." Russia today offers your administration not only a serious challenge but a significant opportunity.
Russia is no longer the Evil Empire the United States confronted over decades of Cold War. Nonetheless, Russia remains a player whose choices affect vital U.S. interests profoundly across the agenda of global issues. First and foremost, Russia remains the only nation that can erase the United States from the map in thirty minutes.

After the U.S. Presidential election, we are entering a particularly vulnerable period as militant Islamists seek to test the new American president just as al-Qaeda (AQ) tested President George W. Bush shortly after the 2000 election.
We are now 15 years into the fight against Islamic-inspired terrorism. The day after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the US and its allies launched a global anti-terrorism coalition to crush AQ and its allies; a fight that many expected to last a generation. The timing was not wrong, but the nature of the threat itself was both misunderstood and underestimated.

Energy decisions reframed as justice and ethical concerns

Read more about Energy decisions reframed as justice and ethical concerns
Many energy consumers, and even analysts and policymakers, confront and frame energy and climate risks in a moral vacuum, rarely incorporating broader social justice concerns. Here, to remedy this gap, we investigate how concepts from justice and ethics can inform energy decision-making by reframing five energy problems — nuclear waste, involuntary resettlement, energy pollution, energy poverty and climate change — as pressing justice concerns.

"From Hiroshima to the Cuban Missile Crisis, from arms races to arms control, from the Cold War and its proxy wars to the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the 2015 deal with Iran, few subjects have so consistently, and so controversially, concerned the American presidency as nuclear weapons have. A dozen men have been responsible for the decision to use the US nuclear arsenal since 1945, and whoever wins the election in November will inherit the responsibility for approximately 4,670 warheads at a time when relations with Russia (holder of 4,500 warheads) have reached a perilous low, a time when support for arms control is perhaps faltering, and a time when nuclear threats abound from the Middle East to the Korean Peninsula..."

Cooking for people is one of the best ways to show that you appreciate them especially when you give them something out of the ordinary that is completely delicious. This recipe was created by one of my mum's friends (@jobellerina on both instagram and twitter) and has been a regular meal in our house ever since we were introduced to it. It's like a posh sweet and sour chicken with the sweetness of the chutney contrasting with the sharpness of the orange juice to give a wonderful explosion of flavour.
Mango has a great taste that works well in both savoury and sweet dishes. Whether in curry or on top of a cake, mango brings a great texture and sweetness to a dish that isn't too overpowering and blends well with other ingredients. Green mango (or unripened mango) is more common in savoury dishes as it has a sharper flavour as the sugars have not yet developed. It can also be eaten on its own with a little soy sauce or vinegar to add some extra flavour. Using unripened mangos in chutney and pickles can work very well as they are firmer than the ripe ones so their texture doesn't get degraded as much during preparation.
In contrast to this, fully ripe mangos are incredibly sweet, supremely juicy and an all-round pleasure to eat (so long as you don't mind wiping the juices off your face). It works beautifully in many desserts as it keeps them moist and has a strong enough flavour to not get lost when mixed with other foods. Mango lassi, a yoghurt based drink, is particularly good when eating spicy foods as the sweetness of the mango and dairy from the yoghurt eliminate heat. It's also super easy to make as all you have to do is blend fresh mango with yoghurt until it is smooth.
For this recipe, there are obviously lots of different brands of chutney which you can use and they differ significantly in their flavour. For a sweeter chutney, I would add a little more coriander and soy sauce to counteract the sugars but for a good quality, balanced chutney, this recipe will be perfect. You can substitute the chicken thighs with breasts or tofu if you prefer but I would precook the tofu to get it crispy and then place it into the sauce for ten minutes to absorb the flavour. The sauce freezes well so you can make a big batch in advance and just defrost what you need at the time.
Place the chutney, orange juice, soy sauce, coriander and garlic into a jug and whisk to combine.
Put the chicken thighs into a baking dish and pour over the sauce. If there is time, leave to marinate for at least half an hour.
Bake for around 40 minutes until the skin is blistered and the chicken is fully cooked (when cut, any juices that flow out are clear – not pink.
Sprinkle with a little more coriander and serve with rice and fine green beans.
I am still unsure as to whether I actually like brown rice or not – let me know your opinions in the comments!
I hope you enjoyed the recipe. The combination of flavours is very moreish so cooking this can be a bit of an exercise in self-control if you are trying to make food for multiple meals. If you enjoy fusion food flavours, be sure to check out my recipe for curry laksa – it's hot, spicy and perfect to eat as winter sets in. Of course, if you are looking for something a little on the sweeter side, why not get into the Thanksgiving spirit and make yourself a divine pumpkin pie?
Have a good one and I will be back next week with a delicious, sweet treat which is perfect in afternoon tea.

We run a series of races over the winter with anyone welcome to take part in any type of kayak or canoe. It is based on a time trial format with the slowest paddlers starting first and faster ones later with the aim of everybody finishing at the same time. This makes for a very exciting event in which no one is left behind on the water. A paddler's finishing time for one race becomes their start time for the next. There are two classes run as part of the winter series – Dash Hounds and Hare & Hounds.
The Hare & Hounds course is 10km (6 miles) up and down the river Wey from the clubhouse, with two portages in Guildford town centre and turning in front of St Catherine's lock. All entrants are expected to complete the course in under 90 minutes – an average paddler takes about 60 minutes, while the course record stands at under 40 minutes! If you would like to take part in the next Hare & Hounds series or an individual race then please use the online registration form (below) which will save a lot of time during the race check-in.

HOME 2009 ENTRIES AVON DOWNS PREVIOUS BACK NEXT
5 July 2009 - Avon Downs to Mt Isa
During the night high cloud extended from the south-west to form a thin layer overhead before sunrise but it burnt off quickly after the sun came up leaving blue sky. Although we were parked quite close to the Barkly Highway and heard occasional heavy trucks during the night they were infrequent and the noise was not intrusive.
Avon Downs rest area is surrounded by trees and undergrowth around the James River (a tributary of the Georgina River) but soon after leaving the rest area we re-entered the Downs extending beyond the Queensland border. After so many days of driving through undergrowth or fairly thick medium height trees it was different to drive through grassland reaching as far as the eye could see in all directions.
We left the grassland just before Camooweal where we refuelled. During the past four or five years the road between Camooweal and Mt Isa has been renewed and is now quite good. This area was badly flooded earlier in the year and when this trip was being planned early in 2009 the Barkly Highway between Camooweal and Mt Isa was closed to traffic while repairs were completed. The repairs are complete and there are only a few signs of floodwater. One is that normally dry and dusty creeks still hold water; no longer flowing but in waterholes and to see water at all in an outback creek at this time of year is unusual as far as we are concerned. The other, more widespread, effect was the health of the vegetation - numerous shades of green were the colours of the day.
Vegetation was varied. Sometimes scrub with flat-top acacias in vigorous golden bloom, at other times woodland with grass understory, other times tussock grass, yet other part had trees with luxuriant spinifex covering the ground. The road climbs gently from Camooweal reaching about 416 metres elevation just north of Mt Isa where it passes through valleys between bare rocky outcrops. The ridges here had a thin covering of scattered gum trees, the last time we saw similar ridges near Alice Springs they had cypress pines on the higher parts although the rock was of a similar colour.
After the road left the last rocky outcrop north of Mt Isa we could see the mine chimney from 20 kilometres away but seeing the chimneys slowly getting closer just made the time drag until we reached Mt Isa.
Mt Isa was very quiet on a Sunday as we drove to the caravan park and set up on a comfortably large site. We had taken a few days more than expected to drive 1165 kilometres from Alice Springs to Mt Isa but we don't have a timetable so a day or two extra makes no difference to us.

And now ….. It's done – the community centre has got the necessary funding to proceed so a 6.6 kW PV (solar) system is happening with funding in the form of a mixed grant worth $8,250 from their Energy Fund and their retailer, Powershop. The benefits of this project include more renewable energy, 8,735 kgs less of carbon dioxide per year put into the atmosphere and local savings allowing programs to be expanded. This is a great result.
In the beginning ….. A local Community Power Hub is helping an out of town community centre find a way to install renewable energy, plus storage, to power their facility. The centre is happy to consider solar and/or wind but, at this stage, they have quotes to install solar PV with some retrofitting of insulation, shading and energy efficient lighting to reduce their energy demand. The local CPH has facilitated an introduction to two funding groups who will work with the community centre to make this project happen. The benefits of this project include more renewable energy, reduced emissions and savings for the community which, in turn, they can use to expand their services.

HMAS Air Faith (909) was a Miami-class 63-foot Air-Sea Rescue Boat that was operated by the Royal Australian Navy during World War II, and later by the Royal Australian Air Force.

Design
The Miami class rescue boats were wooden-hulled, and powered by two  Hall-Scott Defender petrol engines giving a top speed of 31.5 knots. They were armed with two twin .50 calibre M2 Browning machine guns mounted either side of the bridge. The crew comprised one officer in command, a coxswain, two engineers, two seamen and one or two radio operators.

Service history
Air Faith was one of a class of twenty boats ordered on 4 March 1944. They were all Model 314 boats, designed by the Miami Shipbuilding Corporation, of Miami, Florida, but built at a number of shipyards in California. Air Faith was built by South Coast Company in Newport Beach, California, as hull C-26647 and arrived at Sydney aboard the Cecil G. Sellars and was commissioned on 8 February 1945.

Air Faith was placed into reserve on 20 August 1946, and in 1949 she was one of thirteen RAN rescue boats transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force, and renamed 02-101.

The boat was returned to the RAN in 1965, and sold to private interests on 3 July 1968. The boat was sold again in 1972 and has been with the current owner ever since. The boat is moored in Sydney Harbour and has been operating as a charter vessel since 1998. The boat has had major modifications, but the hull is clearly visible as its former air sea rescue style. A superstructure was fitted as a saloon area in the 1980s.
The Hall Scott petrol engines were replaced in the 1970s with GM's, and recently with Fiat diesels.

The Girl From Home - Plot & Excerpts
Jackie asks.
They're scrunched together on Jonathan's twin bed. Jackie's head rests on his bare chest. He can feel her breasts along his midsection.
"I thought we weren't supposed to talk about our spouses," Jonathan answers.
"I'm willing to make an exception this one time. I want to imagine what you're doing tonight when I think about you. Which, I hope you know, will be every second of the evening."
It's another opportunity for him to come clean with Jackie and tell her all that he's been hiding—about his job, his marriage, his life. He could tell her that he's ringing in the New Year with his father, that his marriage has been over for a month now, far longer than that in reality, that he's unemployed and homeless, without a penny to his name.
He's not ready to come clean. Soon, he hopes, but right now Jackie's love is his only hope of salvation, and he can't bear to think about what life would be like if she also found him to be a failure. To paraphrase what Jack Nicholson famously said, Jonathan simply can't handle the truth.

Guest Author: Stefano Pavletic on Lessons Ukraine Teaches About Neutrality
My dear friend Stefano Pavletic, a mediator from Milan Italy, has sent me this thoughtful and timely article that I hope readers will reflect upon.
A strange idea of neutrality
by Stefano Pavleti? *
It is well known that "third party status" of the mediator with respect to the parties, the dispute and the interests at stake represents a preliminary condition for a qualified conduct of mediation. Moreover, the need for the mediator to be effectively "third" in relation to the dispute nevertheless allows concepts of independence and impartiality to be interpreted with a certain flexibility.
During the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict, however, comes to the fore — with a certain brutal objectivity — a rather different conception of neutrality.
Given that the intervention of a third party is necessary, it is precisely on the methods of selecting a credible figure of mediator that obvious anomalies manifest themselves. The race for the role of mediator between Ukrainians and Russians is filled with candidates almost as much as in a U.S primary election.
Both the US and the EU immediately called themselves out for an evident condition of co-belligerence in the conflict. But there are other subjects who are proposing themselves as mediators, on the basis of alleged conditions of impartiality: France, Germany, Israel, Turkey. However, it seems that the most requested characteristic is to represent an autocracy like China or a middle ground between dictatorship and democracy, like Turkey. It is almost as if the potential mediator should resemble the Russian side as much as possible.
Turkey is anything but an indifferent and unrelated actor to the story. Turkey and Russia are anything but friends. Ankara proposes itself as a mediator but has a clear interest to defend its own supremacy over the Black Sea and, as a country with great interests, to stop hostilities; otherwise, the Russians might eat everything.
Israel has tried to accredit itself as a potential mediator, boasting objective and potentially equidistant affinities between the contending parties (Ukrainian President Zelensky is Jewish, many Israeli citizens are of Ukrainian and Russian origin, and Israel boasts a prevalent component of Russian-speaking population).
And then China. As a potential mediator, he laboriously tries to build an equidistance between the parties, not without a certain amount of ambiguity, trying to dismantle accusations and recriminations made by some players involved in the dispute.
Is there room for mediation? Can China play a role? How should the West position itself? In order to look at a negotiation you must also work on an interpretation. If you do not replace the idea of war with the prospect of a good compromise between states, it is difficult for a negotiation to commence, much less succeed.
The benefits of wearing the peacemaker's clothes would seem huge for China but Xi must protect Putin because a failure of the autocrat would have negative consequences for the political fate of every autocrat. He would have a lot to lose but also a lot to gain.
Of course, he appears authoritative and can boast many instruments of persuasion towards Russia. Criticized for perhaps not having the agility of the mediator, China may want to be involved on an equal footing with the West. China and Russia are strategic partners and have come very close. Beijing can leverage Putin's Russia more than the West
It is very important that China succeeds in having a role, but a positive mediation would be an extraordinary achievement for Xi who would affirm his global political power, not only economic. An important success in terms of soft power in the case of a successful management of a difficult situation out of control with potential negative effects also for Europe.
Despite having shown principled solidarity with Russia, China has enormous interests in re-establishing peaceful conditions of the world order on terms beneficial to itself. It is in a very uncomfortable position as the war has interrupted development plans for the Silk Road initiative.
Of course, a true mediator who has a chance of success must not be too strong; indeed, she should not be threatening to any of the parties, in some way not merely "neutral" but almost "neutralized." Someone to whom one is able to say no. If the mediator is too strong, the parties find it difficult to say no. In this sense better Israeli or Turkish attempts even if they may not like it.
Because they are middle powers and since both sides will have to make concessions, it will take a sufficiently weak mediator, but up to the task.
To complete the picture, it is interesting that the U.S. is looking for an interlocution with China, a sort of recognition of its role, because everyone has understood that the only stakeholder (bearer of interests) that has a capacity to influence Moscow is Beijing.
With a certainly rather optimistic approach, and without looking only at the short term, Chinese neutrality could also evolve over time, with a sort of "dynamic interposition" in the role of mediator. Deng Xiaoping often liked to quote Lord Palmerston: "We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual".
Of course, the feeling is that to settle a difficult conflict, and perhaps to save the fate of the whole world, the raison d'état and the priorities of real-politik fatally prevail and the prospect of using effective negotiating tools brings with it a very strange idea of neutrality of the mediator.
Rather than boasting particular conditions of "neutrality" at the negotiating table, the most accredited candidates for the role of mediator — with obvious interests at stake — try to spend their own skills of pressure and conditioning on the parties.

Richmond's Shane Edwards. Pic: Michael Klein
Recruiting blunder that delivered Tigers gun
by Glenn McFarlane
11th Aug 2019 8:00 AM
Richmond's Shane Edwards has been dubbed a Shaun Burgoyne clone for his capacity to keep improving with age in a variety of roles.
But the unassuming Tigers star would have done so in a different jumper, if not for a never-before revealed recruiting overrule.
As Edwards prepares to become the 250th player to play 250 games - against Carlton at the MCG today - the Sunday Herald Sun can detail for the first time how Brisbane missed their chance to secure the wiry, talented 18-year-old.
The Lions' then recruiting manager Craig Brittain had been desperate to take the North Adelaide teenager with the club's pick 22 in the 2006 national draft.
But when he put forward Edwards' name for selection, Brittain was vetoed by the powers above him - much to his ongoing chagrin.
Instead, Brisbane chose another indigenous teenager, Queensland under-18 captain Albert Proud, which allowed the Tigers to take Edwards four picks later.
Richmond's 2016 draft class (from left) Andrew Collins, Daniel Connors, Jack Riewoldt, Carl Peterson and Shane Edwards.
Edwards has gone on to become one of the Tigers' best, and most admired, players.
Proud managed only 29 games for the Lions, with a series of off-field issues and trouble with the law pushing him on a downward spiral. In 2016, he received a five-year prison term for bashing his partner.
Justin Leppitsch, who has twice been an assistant coach at Richmond, revealed the details of the sliding doors moment this week.
"Craig Brittain was doing recruiting (for the Lions) and he wanted to take 'Shedda' with the second pick Brisbane had just before Richmond," Leppitsch said.
"But they (the football department) went against him, which he still upsets him today.
"They wanted to take Albert Proud, who didn't end up lasting (at the Lions).
"Craig said to me 'Keep following that kid (Edwards) … I wanted to pick him'.
'I told 'Shedda' it was a sliding doors moment … he could easily have ended up in Brisbane."
Coincidentally, Edwards initially believed he had been drafted to Brisbane in November 2006 after an internet malfunction at his Adelaide home.
The draft wasn't televised that Saturday morning and Edwards had to rely on a phone call for the news of his future home.
"The phone rang about 10.30 and I picked it up. It was Craig McRae on the phone," his father Greg Edwards said. "He introduced himself and asked to speak to Shane, who was standing next to me.
"Shane was like, 'Which club is it?'. I said: 'Brisbane', because I thought Craig McRae was from Brisbane.
"Shane stumbled his way through the call, thinking he was going to Brisbane. When he put down the phone, he said to me: 'Dad, it's Richmond'."
Shane Edwards is one of the best handballers in the AFL.
THE SPRAY THAT STILL DRIVES HIM
Edwards hates letting people down.
He's rarely ever done it, but the fear of it still drives him.
It's something that pushed him his junior career with Golden Grove in South Australia, with North Adelaide in the SANFL and now in 13 seasons in yellow and black.
But there was one time he felt he let the side down.
That came during the 2006 season when he was playing one of his 10 games with North Adelaide seniors under the coaching of SANFL great Andrew Jarman.
Edwards was crook with the flu, but disguised it well enough to play. He delivered a less than satisfactory performance, prompting a response from his coach.
"'Jars' was a great teacher, and he grabbed Shane and said: 'Don't you ever be so selfish again," Greg Edwards recalled.

"I know that stuck in Shane's head. He still remembers it.
"He hates the idea of doing anything to let his teammates, or 'Dimma' (Damien Hardwick) down. He's very conscious of that."
Jack Riewoldt, who was drafted alongside Edwards in the Tigers' class of 2006, says the best thing about his teammate is that he is so reliable and dependable.
"He is just the epitome of what you want from a footballer and a teammate," Riewoldt said. "He is a very good player and a very good person."
EXTRA TO EXPERT
There was a running joke in Chris Newman's online Hello Newman videos on the club's website at the back end of his career at Richmond.
As Newman toured the homes of Richmond stars, one constant was Edwards' appearance as an extra in the skits.
In Jake King's segment, the opening of a wardrobe revealed Edwards bound and gagged as if he was being held hostage.
The footballer who was affectionately cast as an extra not that many years ago is now a bona fide star.
The durable utility has never played fewer than 15 games in a season since making his debut in 2007 - this year will be his eighth that he has played at least 20.
A second successive All-Australian blazer seems assured next month.
"He is an absolute beauty," Leppitsch said this week. "It is very rare that you get better in your late 20s or early 30s, but he has clearly done that."

Riewoldt said Edwards is the best handballer he has ever seen, and "every recruiter's dream … as they search for players with that football chip - and he's got it."
There were some tough early years from a team perspective, which wasn't lost on Edwards this week.
"I feel like I have experienced a lot in 250 games," he said on 3AW. "I have seen what it's like being at the bottom (of the ladder) and finding that extremely difficult to win games, and now it has been the opposite."
Those closest to him maintain coach Damien Hardwick has played a significant role in getting the best out of Edwards as a player.
Shane's father said: "The way the game changes can make or break some players. A player's skills and speed don't necessarily change, but the game style does give certain players an opportunity to come on. I reckon that's what's happened to Shane."
"He got to 26 and was going OK. But the way the game is played now suits him. Dimma wanted Shane's flair because it suited the way he wanted the club to play.
"In the early days some coaches thought he was a bit risky, which probably stifled his development a bit.
"Shane watched some vision with Dimma one day and he missed a couple of handballs. He told Dimma that he needed to learn from that. But Dimma said, 'No, we need to learn to go faster, and understand what you are going to do with it."

INDIGENOUS INVESTMENT
Edwards always knew about his indigenous heritage, through his mother Tara, but hadn't looked into it.
That all changed on a Richmond Football Club trip to the small Aboriginal community at Santa Teresa, about 80km from Alice Springs, in 2013.
Greg Edwards detailed: "He and his brother Kym have always known about his background on his mum's side, but he had never really investigated it.
"That is until Richmond took him to Santa Teresa. The guy who interviewed him there asked him what his great grandmother's last name was. It was Summerfield, and he asked if there were any Summerfields in the room.
"All of these young indigenous kids rushed up on stage to hug him."
Edwards' great-grandmother, Elsie Summerfield, had been one of the stolen generation, and that trip connected him to distant relatives he never really knew existed.
Six years on, Edwards has embraced the next wave of indigenous players at Richmond, and a close look at the club's theme song most weeks sees him standing alongside Sydney Stack, Daniel Rioli and Shai Bolton.
"He is a great role model for our indigenous players," Riewoldt said. "But I'd go further than that, and say he is a great role model for our other young players, too, and our staff.
"When he stepped into the captaincy this year, when the three of us (Riewoldt, Trent Cotchin and Alex Rance) were out, it was really important to him."
His first game in charge came against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in Round 4.
Before the game he resolved to make it a fun experience, telling his father he wanted to give an old-fashioned rev-up warm-up.
"He got the boys together, got them all in close, and got Kamdyn McIntosh to yell out, 'Give me 10'," his father said with a smile.
"AFL clubs don't do all that old warm-up stuff, but he did it, and everyone was laughing."

THE BURGOYNE CLONE
Riewoldt says his close mate reminds him so much of Hawthorn's Shaun Burgoyne.
That's a good comparison for Tigers fans.
Burgoyne is still playing good footy at 36 in just about any position required. Edwards is doing the same and doesn't turn 31 until October.
"I see him nearly as a clone of Shaun Burgoyne," Riewoldt said. "He has that ability to play back, forward, mid. He impacts wherever he goes.
"We would love to have three of him."
Leppitsch couldn't believe his luck earlier this year when the defensive coach had the luxury of having Edwards at half-back for a period.
But, in keeping with his career, he has forever been on the move.
"It's funny, he is the sort of guy who changes positions so often because he is so good in every position he plays," Leppitsch said. "He has bounced around his whole career.
"He is going to be one of those guys who, when he walks away from his career, you wonder what position he actually did play.
"I stole him for a while and then, as the half-backs kept coming back like (Jayden) Short and (Bachar) Houli, they stole him back for the midfield.
"I haven't been able to steal him (again), but I'll keep pushing."

ArcelorMittal, one of the two key contenders for the bankrupt Essar Steel, is understood to have transferred about Rs 7,000 crore into a State Bank of India escrow account towards payment of dues of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron in an attempt to make its bid for Essar Steel eligible.
ArcelorMittal's first bid for the bankrupt Essar Steel was disqualified by the resolution professional (RP) Satish Kumar Gupta on the ground that it was a promoter of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron, both of which have defaulted on loans.
ArcelorMittal, one of the two key contenders for the bankrupt Essar Steel, is understood to have transferred about Rs 7,000 crore into a State Bank of India escrow account towards payment of dues of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron in an attempt to make its bid for Essar Steel eligible, banking sources told FE.
A week ago, Essar Steel's committee of creditors (CoC) had notified the two bidders, ArcelorMittal and Numetal, that they would be given seven days' time to clear all outstanding dues of companies in which they were promoters. The deadline for repaying the dues ended on Tuesday, bankers said. Sources said that the offer for the payment of dues contains certain caveats.
"ArcelorMittal can confirm it has written to the CoC for Essar Steel in response to the letter received on May 8. The details of this letter are confidential," an official spokesperson for ArcelorMittal said.
"However, ArcelorMittal maintains that its offer for Essar Steel, submitted on February 12, is and always has been eligible. Any offer to pay any outstanding loans of companies where we only had a passive stake with no management or governance role would be made without prejudice to demonstrate the seriousness of our commitment to India and Essar Steel," the spokesperson added.
ArcelorMittal's first bid for the bankrupt Essar Steel was disqualified by the resolution professional (RP) Satish Kumar Gupta on the ground that it was a promoter of Uttam Galva and KSS Petron, both of which have defaulted on loans. ArcelorMittal held a 29.5% stake in Uttam Galva and was classified as a promoter of the company by the stock exchanges. It sold its stake in February, before submitting the bid for Essar Steel.
Since then, it has also been declassified as a promoter by the stock exchanges. However, bankers argued that merely selling its stake in Uttam Galva did not make it eligible to bid for Essar Steel.
In an order on April 19, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) directed the RP and the CoC to give ArcelorMittal and rival bidder Numetal the opportunity to rectify their bids in the first round, and said that inviting a second round of bids without offering bidders an opportunity to rectify their bids was "prima facie invalid". ArcelorMittal had bid in the second round as well.
The CoC's decision to ask both the bidders to clear their dues followed the NCLT's order. Rival bidder Numetal has challenged the CoC's decision at the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). The NCLAT will hear the case again on May 17.

Following a silent serial trend to feature real life "heroes" as the star of a serial (boxers Jack Demsey, Gene Tunney, Gentleman Jim Corbett, athletes Eddie Polo, Joe Bonomo) several early sound serials starred football star Red Grange, animal trainer/circus performer Clyde Beatty, Airman speedster Frank Hawks and wild animal collector Frank Buck.
First up was Harold "Red" Grange (1903-1991), nicknamed The Galloping Ghost by Chicago sports writer Walter Brown. Grange was arguably the best college football player in history and was named as such by ESPN in 2008. He was also the most famous athlete of his era and the man who almost single-handedly legitimized pro football. He was voted All American in college for three years running. Grange was halfback for the University of Illinois, the Chicago Bears and the short-lived NY Yankees. He was a charter member of both the college and pro football Halls of Fame.
Grange retired from pro football in 1934, but before he did so Mascot's Nat Levine saw his screen potential and starred him in 1931 in "The Galloping Ghost", explicitly named for him. Although Grange was now 28 (and looks older), the plot has him as a college football player accused of taking a bribe. Dismissed from his team in disgrace, Red goes on over 12 chapters to collect enough evidence to expose a gang of crooked gamblers led by Walter Miller.
Grange's energetic ability makes this serial hard to take your eyes off the screen for even a moment as Red climbs up building walls, races down fire escapes and vaults over various obstacles. Red was no actor but he gives it his best!
Once he clears his name, Grange leads his team on to victory in a rousing football finale.
Again, in 1934, it was Mascot head Nat Levine who caged lion and wild animal tamer and circus star Clyde Beatty (1903-1965) to star in "The Lost Jungle". Beatty journeys to an uncharted island in the tropic seas in search of his sweetheart (Cecelia Parker), her father and a party of lost explorers. Together they set out to find the leader of the exploring expedition. Constantly overcome by gold hunters, hostile natives and fierce jungle beasts…Clyde wards off all comers for 12 thrilling chapters.
Clyde returned to the screen in 1936 for "Darkest Africa"—Republic's first serial—an outgrowth of a merger between independents Mascot, Monogram and Liberty. Former Mascot president Nat Levine was installed as production head and once again engaged Beatty in order to employ some stock footage from "The Lost Jungle". 12 year old Baru (Manuel King) seeks help from Beatty to rescue Baru's sister Valerie (Elaine Shepard) who is being held prisoner as a goddess in the lost city of Joba located in the heart of Africa and patrolled by winged Bat Men.
Now it was Columbia's turn. Seeing the success of Clyde Beatty in two jungle serials, the studio hired hunter, animal collector and author Frank Buck (1888-1950) to star in their first serial, "Jungle Menace", which was independently produced by Louis Weiss and released in August 1937. Coming to fame with his book BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE in 1930, Buck had already appeared in several films, "Bring 'Em Back Alive" ('32), "Wild Cargo" ('34) and "Fang and Claw" ('35). In the somewhat unimaginative, overly talkative 15 chapter serial a gang of rubber pirates attempts to acquire a rubber plantation in Bengal through murder and sabotage. Along with others, adventurer Frank Hardy (Buck) vows to find out who is behind the plot when his plantation owner friend is killed, and the man's daughter (Charlotte Henry) is endangered. You need a score card to keep up with all the characters who come and go. The immense cast includes William Bakewell, Matthew Betz, John St. Polis, Sasha Siemel, Reginald Denny, Dirk Thane, LeRoy Mason, Duncan Renaldo, Richard Tucker, Esther Ralston, Merrill McCormick, Milburn Morante, Snub Pollard, Clarence Muse, Fred Kohler Jr., John Davidson, Robert Warwick, Tom London, Roger Williams, Jack Ingram, George Rosener, Robert Walker and Reed Howes—among others.
Columbia's second serial, "The Mysterious Pilot", released in November 1937 was a much more action packed 15 chapter serial that starred Captain Frank Hawks (1897-1938) who had been a WWI U.S. Army Air Service pilot and was known during the '20s and '30s as a record breaking aviator. He set 214 point to point records in the U.S. and Europe including two nonstop flights from L.A. to NYC in '29 and '33. A popular saying at the time was, "Don't send it by mail…send it by Hawks." Hawks' fame gained him a job as spokesman for Post Cereals in the '30s. Hawks died in September 1938 when he crashed a Gwinn Aircar in East Aurora, NY after the plane tripped on overhead telephone wires.
The serial plot has aerial mapper for the Royal Canadian Air Force Jim Dorn (Hawks) involved in an intricate web of intrigue when he aids Dorothy Sebastian who has witnessed a murder.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Feb. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- "Today the FDA is warning about a safety signal that emerged in a required postmarketing trial of the drug Xeljanz (tofacitinib) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This particular trial was initiated to further evaluate the safety of tofacitinib at two doses (5 mg twice daily or 10 mg dose twice daily) versus a control group of another treatment, and was specifically designed to assess the risk of cardiovascular events, cancer and opportunistic infections. Data review by the study's Data Safety Monitoring Board identified a safety signal of pulmonary embolism and increased overall mortality in patients in the trial who were taking the 10 mg dose of tofacitinib twice daily. The trial's sponsor Pfizer, at the recommendation of the FDA took immediate action to protect patient safety and transitioned patients in the ongoing trial from tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily to tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily, which is the FDA-approved dose for adult patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis," said Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Director. "The FDA is actively examining the data from the trial and working directly with Pfizer to better understand the safety signal, its impact on patients, and how tofacitinib should be used. The agency will take appropriate action, as warranted, to ensure patients enrolled in this and other trials are protected and that health care professionals and clinical trial researchers understand the risks associated with this use. We are communicating now, given the serious nature of the safety issue, to ensure that patients taking tofacitinib are aware that the FDA still believes the benefits of taking tofacitinib for its approved uses continue to outweigh the risks. Patients taking tofacitinib for its approved uses should continue to take their medication as directed by their health care professional. Today's safety alert underscores the importance of monitoring and addressing safety questions that arise in the postmarket setting."
Today, the FDA released a Drug Safety Communication alerting health care professionals and patients about a safety signal seen in a postmarketing trial in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were taking tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily. The FDA required the drug manufacturer, Pfizer, to conduct the trial when it approved tofacitinib in 2012. This ongoing trial is evaluating the safety of tofacitinib at two doses (the approved 5 mg twice daily and a higher dose of 10 mg twice daily) versus a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) control group. Data review by the Data Safety Monitoring Board identified a safety signal of pulmonary embolism and increased overall mortality in the 10 mg twice daily treatment group. Pfizer has transitioned patients in the ongoing trial from tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily to tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily, which is the FDA-approved dose for adult patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. The 10 mg twice daily dose of tofacitinib is not an FDA-approved dose for rheumatoid arthritis but is approved in the dosing regimen for patients with ulcerative colitis. The postmarketing trial was designed to assess the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, opportunistic infections and malignancy, and patients were required to be at least 50 years of age and have at least one CV risk factor to be eligible for participation in this study.
Postmarketing studies play a critical role in the FDA's efforts to ensure the safety of FDA-approved drugs and products. They can allow for further evaluation of potential safety issues or enable a better characterization of risk factors for known concerns. These studies provide vital information about the safety of the FDA-approved treatment so the FDA can help ensure that the benefits to the intended patients outweigh the risks. The FDA provides guidance and oversight of companies to ensure the studies are completed safely and in a timely manner. When significant safety issues do arise, the FDA works quickly to prevent further injury or deaths.
Xeljanz is approved for the treatment of certain adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, active psoriatic arthritis, and moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Patients treated with Xeljanz are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. The most common serious infections reported with Xeljanz included pneumonia, cellulitis, herpes zoster, urinary tract infection, diverticulitis and appendicitis.

De groensteel (Asplenium viride) is een varen die behoort de streepvarenfamilie (Aspleniaceae). De soort staat op de Nederlandse Rode lijst van planten als zeer zeldzaam en stabiel of in aantal toegenomen De plant is in Nederland wettelijk beschermd.

De plant is een overblijvende plant met een wortelstok. De soort wordt 10–35 cm hoog. De schubben op de wortelstok hebben geen middenstreep. De bladspil en bladsteel hebben een groene kleur, vandaar de naam groensteel. De schuin-ruitvormige, eironde of bijna ronde blaadjes van de enkel geveerde bladen zijn dikwijls diep gekarteld tot gelobd en sterven in de winter af.

Op de blaadjes van de vruchtbare bladen zitten aan de onderkant twee tot vier, langwerpige sporendoosjes (sori), die bestaan uit sporangiën. Alleen de jonge sporedoosjes zijn bedekt met een langwerpig dekvliesje. De sporangiënhoopjes zijn rijp in juli en augustus. Voor meer informatie over de voortplanting, zie het artikel varens.

De groensteel komt voor op iets vochtige muren.
