Hannover Hauptbahnhof is een spoorwegstation in de Duitse plaats Hannover in de deelstaat Nedersaksen. Het station telt ongeveer 250.000 reizigers per dag, waarmee Hannover Hbf het zesde drukste station van Duitsland is. Het is ook de belangrijkste knoop in het regionale treinverkeer van de S-Bahn van Hannover.

Het knooppuntstation hoort bij de 21 Duitse treinstations van de  eerste stationscategorie. Het station beschikt over zes eilandperrons met twaalf perronsporen en twee doorgangssporen. Dagelijks passeren hier meer dan 620 treinen (stand: 2008); ongeveer 2000 mensen werken hier.

Geschiedenis

Eerste station uit 1847

Bij de opening van de eerste spoorlijn naar Lehrte in 1843 werd het station provisorisch ingericht. Bij de aanleg van de spoor hield met rekening met een representatief kopstation, maar men legde een doorgangstation aan en was daarmee de eerste van deze grootte in Duitsland.

Van 1845 tot 1847 werd het gebouw van de eerste "Central-Bahnhof" gebouwd. De architect is onbekend, maar zeker is, dat de vooruitziende stadsbouwmeester August Heinrich Andrae de locatie bepaalde en de Hannoversche hofbouwmeesters Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves en Ferdinad Schwarz daaraan meegewerkt hebben. Het werd in romantische-neoklassieke stijl ontworpen en als strikt symmetrisch gebouw opgericht. De massieve gevel was geel gepleisterd. Laves plande voor het terrein tussen de Georgstraße en het station een nieuwe wijk, de "Ernst-August-Stadt". Uit meerdere richtingen kwamen de straten uit op het omvangrijke stationsplein, de "Ernst-August-Platz".

Op het stationsgebouw sloot een houten perronoverkapping aan, die twee sporen overspande. Dat was in het begin voor het treinverkeer voldoende, toen de nog korte treinen naar het oosten en westen vanaf hetzelfde perron konden vertrekken. Doorgaand treinverkeer was er toen nog niet. De eerste doorgaande trein reed op 1 mei 1851 tussen Berlijn en Keulen (toen nog "Cöln"). Tegenover het stationsgebouw werd de eerste werkplaats gebouwd. In 1853 werd na de opening van de eerste zijlijn van de Zuidlijn naar Alfeld, Göttingen en Kassel waardoor het doorgangstation een spoorknooppunt werd. Voor het ontlasten van het station werd in 1868 in Hainholz een rangeerterrein gebouwd.

Stedenbouwkundig was het station met het steeds meer toenemend verkeer een probleem, omdat de spoorlijn de stad doorsneed. Zo werd in 1873 besloten, de spoorlijn in het stadsgebied 4,5 meter boven maaiveld te leggen. Het oude stationsgebouw werd in 1875 afgebroken. De van 1875 tot 1879 gebouwde spoorlijn werd een voorbeeld voor andere steden, zoals de Stadtbahn van Berlijn. In 1876 werd een stukgoederenstation aan de Weidendamm gebouwd.

Tweede station uit 1879

Doordat het eerste stationsgebouw op straatniveau was aangelegd, wat stedelijke ontwikkelingen hinderde, werd de spoorlijn over een lengte van 8 km hoger gelegd. Hierdoor ontstonden er ongelijkvloerse kruisingen. Bovendien kreeg het nieuwe station een langer emplacement. Na voorbereidende werkzaamheden werd vanaf 1873 de werkplaatsen naar Leinhausen en de rangeerterrein naar Hainholz verplaatst. De bouw van de goederenlijn om de stad begon in 1875, die tot vandaag nog bestaat. Het nieuwe stationsgebouw werd door Hubert Stier in de stijl Neorenaissance ontworpen. Het was weer een symmetrisch gebouw met een hoofdhal en twee zijgebouwen, die ieder door een hoekgebouw aangesloten zijn. Het oostelijke hoekgebouw met de "Keizerkamer" kreeg een aparte uitgang. Het bouwwerk werd in gele bakstenen met rode baksteenstrepen en een stadstenenplint uitgevoerd. De vier perrons met zeven perronsporen en twee doorgangsporen werden door twee stationskappen overspannen, ieder een spanwijdte van 37 meter. Na de afbraak van het pas 30 jaar oude gebouw, begon de bouw van het nieuwe station in april 1877. Deze kon na 26 maanden bouwtijd op 22 juni 1879 in gebruik worden genomen. De toegang tot de perrons was mogelijk via drie tunnels, voor bagage en poststukken waren er twee andere tunnels. Het in 1883 gereedgekomen emplacement omvatte zeven perrons en twee doorgangssporen voor goederentreinen. De gebouwde Perron-Ueberdachung bestond uit twee delen met 37 meter spanwijdte en 167,5 meter lang met een tussenruimte voor beide doorgangssporen van 9,25 meter breed. De bouwkosten werd 12,7 miljoen Duitse mark voor het gebouw en 22,5 miljoen mark voor het gehele project.

In 1910 werd een derde stationskap met de sporen 10 en 11 gebouwd. De nieuw kap die uit staal bestond had een spanwijdte van 27,5 meter en een hoogte van 15,3 meter, naar een ontwerp van Baurat Möller. Van bijzonder belang voor de exploitatie voor het treinverkeer naar Hamburg was het gereedkomen van de "Hazenlijn", een al in 1913 geplande zijlijn van de Heidebahn bij Langenhagen via Großburgwedel naar Celle. Vanaf mei 1938 was voor treinen Hamburg - Zuid-Duitsland de omweg via Lehrte niet meer nodig, ook het kopmaken in Hannover kwam te vervallen.

In de zomerdienstregeling van 1938 behandelde het Hoofdstation in totaal 144 aankomende en vertrekkende treinen in de dienstregeling af. Het werd daarmee na de knooppunten  Berlijn, Keulen, Frankfurt am Main evenals de hoofdstations van Leipzig en Duisburg een van de belangrijkste langeafstandsknooppunten voor de Deutsche Reichsbahn.

Oorlogsschade en wederopbouw

Bij de luchtaanval op Hannover in juli en oktober 1943 werd het station grotendeels vernietigd. Van de stationskappen bleef alleen het geraamte over, van het stationsgebouw alleen de buitenmuren. Pas na vier dagen was er weer één spoor beschikbaar.

Op 13 juni 1945 reden er voor het eerst na de oorlog reizigerstreinen naar Minden, Nienburg en Göttingen. Op 14 augustus werd het reizigersverkeer verder uitgebreid. Vanaf Hannover reden er weer reizigerstreinen naar Bremerhaven, Duisburg, Hamelen, Göttingen, Braunschweig en Uelzen. Op 15 augustus 1946 werd Hannover voor het eerst na de oorlog weer door de Nord Express van Parijs naar Berlijn bediend, waardoor het station weer was aangesloten op het internationale netwerk.

Na de grote bomschade begon de wederopbouw van het stationsgebouw in 1948, waarbij de buitenmuren behouden bleven. De binnenkant van het gebouw kreeg een nieuwe indeling, de stationskappen werden verwijderd en vervangen door houten nooddaken. Van 1959 tot 1961 werden de perrons omgebouwd, het bagageperron werd verwijderd, daarvoor worden bagageliften op elk perron gebouwd. De middelste toegang werd verbreed, de passagierstunnels aan de buitenzijde werden gesloten en de perrons kregen nieuwe daken. Vanaf 1957 werden de seinen en wissels aangestuurd via NX-tableaus. In 1963 werd het vijfde perron uitgebreid met een spoor 12 (de sporen 5 en 6 waren doorgangssporen zonder perron). Vanuit het zuiden bereikte de elektrificering het emplacement van Hannover op 26 mei 1963, op 20 december 1963 konden elektrische treinen naar Lehrte rijden en op 14 december 1964 naar Bremen. De verbinding naar Hamburg via de, eind 1964 verdubbelde, spoorlijn naar Hannover, "Hazenlijn" werd op 6 april 1965 geëlektrificeerd. De bovenleiding vanaf Lehrte via Braunschweig naar Helmstedt kwam in 1976 gereed.

Stadtbahn-tunnel

De bouw van de stadtbahn van Hannover bracht grote ombouwwerkzaamheden van het station met zich mee. Door de open bouwput moest het hele station op de schop, waardoor sporen gesloten moesten worden. Tussen juli 1969 en het voorjaar van 1973 werd een zesde perron met de sporen 13 en 14 aangelegd. Na het gereedkomen van dit perron werden tussen 1970 en 1975 steeds twee sporen gesloten, om vervolgens daaronder de stadtbahntunnel en de daarboven gelegen passerelle te bouwen. Daarvoor was ook de middentunnel gesloten, de toegang tot de perrons volgde via de heropende zijtunnel. In kader van de verbouwing werd ook het doorgangsspoor 6 verplaatst, deze kwam te liggen tussen de sporen 8 en 9. Aansluitend kreeg het hele station een opknapbeurt, evenals de perrons en de overkappingen. De westelijke tunnel in de straat Lister Meile, werd gebruikt als posttunnel tussen het 'hoofdpostambt' en het aan de Raschplatz gelegen 'pakketpostambt'. Vanaf deze tunnel waren er hellingbanen naar de perrons voor de post- en bagagetransporten.

In het in 1971 ingevoerde Intercity-netwerk werd Hannover een overstapknooppunt, waarbij het overstappen tussen IC-treinen op hetzelfde perron mogelijk was (cross-platform-overstap). In het voorjaar van 1988 werd een geautomatiseerd reisinformatiesysteem met vertrekschermen bij de trappen en op de perrons in gebruik genomen. Met in totaal 323 aankomende en vertrekkende dienstregelingstreinen voor de langeafstand was Hannover Hbf in de zomerdienstregeling van 1989 het vierde knooppunt van de Deutsche Bundesbahn.

Nieuwbouw van een elektronisch seinhuis
Eind 1992 begonnen de voorbereidende werkzaamheden voor het toen nog grootste elektronische seinhuis in een spoorwegknooppunt van de Deutsche Bahn. De opdracht voor de bouw werd midden 1993 aan Siemens gegund. De vernieuwing van het gehele aansturingssysteem kostte ongeveer 109 miljoen Mark. Hiermee werden ongeveer 5100 trein- en rangeerbewegingen per dag, via 279 wissels en 535 seinen door zeven treindienstleiders aangestuurd. Het seinhuis ging op 25 augustus 1996 na twee nachten zonder treinverkeer van 8 uur in bedrijf. Eerst werd het treinverkeer vanuit een nieuw gebouwde bedieningsruimte aangestuurd, omdat de geplande bedieningscentrale nog niet klaar was. Het treinverkeer rondom Hannover wordt vanuit de bedieningscentrale Hannover aangestuurd.

Met in totaal 398 aankomende en vertrekkende dienstregelingstreinen voor de langeafstand was Hannover Hbf in de zomerdienstregeling van 1996 het belangrijkste knooppunt van de Deutsche Bahn.

Verbouwing voor de Expo 2000

Het hoofdstation werd voor de Expo 2000 wederom volledig verbouwd. Hiervoor het stationsgebouw, op de buitenmuren na, volledig opnieuw ingericht. De middentunnel werd vergroot en voorzien van openingen waardoor daglicht naar binnen kan. De perrons kregen personenliften.

Door de verbouwing ontstond de Promenade im Hauptbahnhof. Onder andere door de verplaatsing van de loketten naar het stationsgebouw en het stoppen van bagageafhandeling ontstond een verkoopoppervlakte van 7.000 m².

Tussen de zomer van 2004 en het voorjaar van 2006 werd de passerelle in het souterrain gemoderniseerd en aan de Promenade aangepast. Hierdoor werd het een onderdeel van de Niki-de-Saint-Phalle-Promenade van Kröpcke naar de Raschplatz. Met 20.000 m² winkeloppervlakte op twee etages kwam er een veelzijdig aanbod van winkels ter beschikking. De meeste winkels zijn elke werkdag tot 22 uur geopend.

Op 28 mei 2000 werd de S-Bahn van Hannover in gebruik genomen. De sporen 1 en 2 werd een S-Bahn-perron voor de S-Bahn in de richting van H-Bismarckstraße en Wunstorf, de S-Bahn richting Lehrte en Celle vertrekken van de sporen 13 en 14. Tegelijk werd de sporen rond Hannover gewijzigd: in het westen werd zuidelijk van de bestaande sporen een extra sporenpaar voor de S-Bahn aangelegd, in het oosten werd noordelijk van de sporen naar Lehrte een spoor aangelegd.

Planning
De Deutsche Bahn plant in 2015 omvangrijke werkzaamheden in het station van 2019 tot 2029. De liggers over de middentunnel waarop de sporen rusten moeten vervangen worden, omdat er ernstige schade is geconstateerd. Voor de werkzaamheden tijdens de treindienst wordt er telkens twee sporen buiten dienst gesteld. Er wordt overlegd, om de al lang geplande sporen 15 en 16 aan te leggen. Hiermee wordt geprobeerd de hinder voor het treinverkeer tot het minimum te beperken.

Verbindingen

Lange-afstandstreinen
Hannover Hauptbahnhof is een belangrijk knooppunt voor langeafstandstreinen uit heel Duitsland. Treinen tussen het noorden en het zuiden, tevens de treinen vanuit Berlijn naar het Ruhrgebied komen langs Hannover.

Regionale treinen
Via het hoofdstation rijden er meerdere lijnen van DB Regio Nord, erixx, enno, metronom en Westfalenbahn. Binnen het tariefgebied van Hannover kregen de lijnen tot 13 december 2014 de lijnnummers R1 tot en met R11. Vanaf 14 december 2014 werd het nummersysteem van Nedersaksen gebruikt.

S-Bahn
De S-Bahn van Hannover bestaat sinds 14 december 2008 uit zeven regelmatig rijdende lijnen, die de regio Hannover en de omliggende Landkreisen ontsluit en op bijna elke tussenliggende halte stopt. De lijnen rijden in een uurfrequentie, op deeltrajecten met twee lijnen wordt dit 2x per uur. Bij de nieuwe dienstregeling van 2014 (15 december 2013) werden twee spitslijnen toegevoegd (S21 en S51). Daarnaast rijden er bij grote evenementen in het beursgebouw van Hannover de evenementenlijn S8.

Naast het hoofdstation beschikt Hannover over tien andere S-Bahn-stations, waar uitsluitend S-Bahn-treinen stoppen.

Stadtbahn-station

Noordelijk van het station bevindt zich sinds 1976 het premetrostation "Hauptbahnhof" met 4 perronsporen (2 eilandperrons), voor de trajecten A en B. Noordelijk van het station liggen twee keersporen, voor de lijnen 8 en 18. Er bestaat ook de mogelijkheid om te wisselen tussen het A- en B-traject, maar deze komt vanaf 1995 niet meer in de dienstregeling voor.

Bij de bouw van de tunnel voor de A- en B-trajecten rekening gehouden met een andere tunnel. Dit geplande D-traject ligt in ruwbouw onder het premetrostation dat nu gebruikt wordt.

Voor de lijnen 10 en 17 is er aan de voorzijde van het station op straatniveau een tramhalte.

Binnenstedelijke verbindingen
Noordelijk van het station aan de Raschplatz ligt het centrale busstation van Hannover. Hier stoppen naast de stadsbussen ook langeafstandsbussen en touringcars. Op het Ernst-August-Platz halteren de stadsbuslijnen 10 en 17, ook de Üstra-buslijnen 121, 128 en 134 stoppen hier.

Naast de onderdoorgang in de Fernroder Straße bevindt zich onder de sporen een fietsenstalling. Hier kunnen fietsen worden gestald, gehuurd en er is een fietsenmaker aanwezig. Een andere grote fietsenstalling zit in de parkeergarage aan de Raschplatz.

Deze parkeergarage aan de Raschplatz biedt in totaal 1.000 parkeerplaatsen aan. Daarnaast zijn er nog vier parkeergarages en een parkeerkelder in de nabije omgeving. In de parkeerkelder zijn er deelauto's beschikbaar.

Op het Ernst-August-Platz zijn er twee taxistandplaatsen, een andere standplaats bevindt zich bij de noorduitgang aan de Raschplatz.

Overig

Er bestaat de mogelijkheid het hoofdstation aan de noordzijde met een perron met twee sporen uit te breiden. De optie wordt opengehouden, zeker wanneer de onderhoud aan het station begint, maar aan concrete plannen ontbreekt het.

Naast het Reisezentrum (OV-Servicewinkel) is er een DB Lounge voor reizigers van de eerste klas.

Een belangrijke ontmoetingspunt in Hannover is "Unterm Schwanz" (onder de staart). Hiermee wordt het beeld van Ernst August I van Hannover die op een paard zit voor het station.

In 1967 schilderde Gerhard Richter het station voor een ansichtkaart na. Hij maakte daarnaast een jaarlijkse beeld in form van een Offset-Lithografie voor de Kunstvereniging Hannover. Het beeld is grijs en wordt gekenmerkt door het voor Richter in de jaren '60 typische realistische penseelvoering.

Flowers are one of the proofs that often the smallest things are the most beautiful and meaningful in life. The power and influence a single flower can have is just remarkable. Their positive impact on people's mood is scientifically proven and their ability to strengthen communication and relationships is not to be overlooked either. Giving somebody a bunch of flowers is one of the best gifts you can make, because flowers bring along certain symbolism and a strong effect. It also comes to show that you've taken the time to choose the right flower and it represents your taste and emotions. What's great about flowers is not only their beauty, fragrance and charm, but also that where words fail, flowers speak. Let's take a look at the effect a simple bouquet can have over another person and how can you make the best of the art of giving flowers.
Say "sorry": If you want to look sincere and genuine, choose a simple bouquet, nothing over the top. Carnations, lilies and gerbera daisies are some of the perfect flowers for this purpose.
Say "thank you": Flowers are the perfect way to express gratitude to somebody – a friend, a significant other, a teacher or a parent. It's enough to choose a small bouquet and give it in person. Adding a "thank you" hand-written card is also part of the tradition.
"Thinking of you" flowers: This is a more intimate message which can be expressed with a bunch of beautiful red or pink roses, tulips or Forget-me-not flowers. When you miss somebody, why don't you send them flowers with delivery? This will surely bring across your message and warm thoughts.
Flowers for a first date: This is a delicate situation where flowers are not a must, but it's also not a bad idea. If you don't know the person well it might be accepted as moving too fast. If it's somebody you know and you've decided to go on a first day, it's a great way to express your excitement and fondness with a bunch of pretty flowers. Keep it simple though, anything extravagant could be off-putting.
A treat for oneself: Yes, that's right; you can buy a bunch of flowers to yourself and not be ashamed of it. If you love flowers, you don't have to wait for somebody to give them to you. Buy a bunch of your favourite blooms and put them in a nice vase in the middle of the living room or in your bedroom.
Flowers for home: You don't have to spend too much on flowers in order to have some fresh blooms on a regular basis. Flowers have a lovely effect and brighten up the home. One of the ways to have a constant supply of pretty flowers is by growing them in pots or in a garden.
Giving a bunch of flowers is a lovely gesture which is always appreciated. Flowers make perfect gifts, they show care, respect, love, thoughtfulness, friendship and gratitude. When you know somebody's favourite flower, it's a sign of perfect thoughtfulness to give that flower to them on a special day. Flowers are perfect for decorating various events and a great addition to every gift. Every good florist should be able to assist you in your choice and offer you the best bouquet for a specific occasion.
With winter comes sorter days and darker nights and things can become a bit dreary. Rather than sit in the gloom that winter time often brings, bring some color and light in to your home with beautiful fresh cut flowers.
The winter blues can bring even the highest of spirits when the days are short and icy cold. It is hard to get out and about and be around others when you need those moments of connections. For the elderly, this is almost impossible. A great way to help keep the spirits up of your own and your loved ones is to gift flowers. It allows you to make a connection with another no matter what the weather holds outside your doors. It can bring that much needed smile to an elderly's face and make an entire week or longer one of joy!
Don't let the shorter days and darker nights bring on the winter blues to you or anyone you care about. Brighten yours and others days with a gift of beautiful fresh cut flowers from Brant Florist.


A senior official says Iran and Lebanon play a leading and influential role in promoting peace in the Middle East, urging the two sides to exchange more visits amid the critical situation in the region. "Relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Lebanon are exemplary in the region and at the international level, and the two countries' role in striking balance and establishing peace in the region is important, evident and constructive," Ali Akbar Velayati, a foreign policy advisor to the Leader of Islamic Revolution, said in a joint press conference with Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil in Beirut on Tuesday. He noted that Iran and Lebanon have longstanding historical relations and are cooperating on the international stage, Press TV reported. Velayati emphasized that the two countries maintain "fully coordinated relations", particularly on international talks aimed at settling the ongoing crisis in Syria. The Lebanese foreign minister said the fight against terrorism has strengthened mutual interaction. Bassil expressed confidence that international efforts and the strong positions of Iran and Lebanon will lead to their victory against terrorists.

Namatjira, Albert (Elea) (1902–1959)
by Sylvia Kleinert
Albert Namatjira, by Axel Poignant, 1946
National Library of Australia, 22839303
Albert (Elea) Namatjira (1902-1959), artist, was born on 28 July 1902 at Hermannsburg (Ntaria), Northern Territory, son of Namatjira and his wife Ljukuta. Elea belonged to the western group of the Arrernte people. In 1905 the family was received into the Lutheran Church: Elea (who was given the name Albert) and his father (who took the name Jonathan) were baptized, and his mother was blessed (as Emilie). Albert attended the Hermannsburg mission school. In accordance with the practice of the missions, he lived separately from his parents in a boys' dormitory. At 13 he spent six months in the bush and underwent initiation. He left the mission again at the age of 18 and married Ilkalita, a Kukatja woman. Eight of their children were to survive infancy: five sons—Enos, Oscar, Ewald, Keith and Maurice—and three daughters—Maisie, Hazel and Martha. The family shifted to Hermannsburg in 1923 and Ilkalita was christened Rubina.
In his boyhood Albert sketched 'scenes and incidents around him . . . the cattle yard, the stockmen with their horses, and the hunters after game'. He later made artefacts such as boomerangs and woomeras. Encouraged by the mission authorities, he began to produce mulga-wood plaques with poker-worked designs. Meanwhile, he worked as a blacksmith, carpenter, stockman and cameleer—at the mission for rations and on neighbouring stations for wages. The spectacular scenery of Central Australia, then entering the national consciousness as a symbol of Australian identity, attracted artists to Hermannsburg, among them Rex Battarbee and John Gardner. During their second visit in 1934 they held an exhibition for an Aboriginal audience. The Arrernte were familiar with illustrations of biblical scenes, but none had seen landscapes depicting their own surroundings.
Motivated by a deep attachment to his country and the possibility of a vocation that offered financial return, Namatjira expressed an interest in learning to paint. In 1936 he accompanied Battarbee as a cameleer on two month-long excursions in and around the Macdonnell Ranges. Battarbee was impressed by his evident talent. In the following year Pastor Friedrich Albrecht, the superintendent of Hermannsburg, displayed ten of Namatjira's watercolours at a Lutheran conference held at Nuriootpa, South Australia. Battarbee included another three of his water-colours in an exhibition with the Royal South Australian Society of Arts, Adelaide. In 1938 the two men went on an expedition, during which Battarbee taught him photography. Later that year Namatjira held his first solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society Gallery, Melbourne. With Battarbee's assistance as teacher, dealer and mentor, a school of artists developed around Namatjira.
Although Namatjira is best known for his water-colour landscapes of the Macdonnell Ranges and the nearby region, earlier in his career his imagery had included tjuringa designs, biblical themes and figurative subjects. He also produced carved and painted artefacts, and briefly painted on bean-wood panels. Superficially, his paintings give the appearance of conventional European landscapes, but Namatjira painted with 'country in mind' and continually returned to sites imbued with ancestral associations. The repetition, detailed patterning and high horizons—so characteristic of his work—blended Aboriginal and European modes of depiction.
Namatjira's initiatives won national and international acclaim. As the first prominent Aboriginal artist to work in a modern idiom, he was widely regarded as a representative of assimilation. In 1944 he was included in Who's Who in Australia. He was awarded Queen Elizabeth II's coronation medal (1953), presented to the Queen in Canberra (1954) and elected an honorary member of the Royal Art Society of New South Wales (1955). His quiet and dignified presence belied the underlying tensions in his life.
With fame came controversy. Namatjira's brilliant career highlighted the gap between the rhetoric and reality of assimilation policies. He encountered an ambiguous response from the art world. Some criticized his water-colour landscapes as derivative and conventional, others viewed them as evidence of acculturation and a loss of tribal traditions. Tensions arose between Namatjira and the Aranda Arts Council (chaired by Battarbee) when the council tried to maintain control over the quality and quantity of his work. Namatjira also encountered racial discrimination. He was refused a grazing licence in 1949-50 and prevented in 1951 from building a house on land he bought at Alice Springs. Seeking further means of support for his family, he discovered copper deposits at Areyonga Reserve, but they proved commercially unviable. By the early 1950s he lived independently of the mission in a fringe camp at Morris Soak on the outskirts of Alice Springs.
The citizenship granted to Namatjira in 1957 led to further anomalies. Exempted from the restrictions imposed on other 'full-blooded' Aborigines, he had access to alcohol which he shared with members of his family in accordance with Aboriginal custom. In 1958 he was charged with supplying alcohol to the artist Henoch Raberaba and sentenced to six months imprisonment with labour. Following a public outcry and two appeals, the sentence was reduced to three months. Namatjira finally served two months of 'open' detention at the Papunya settlement in March-May 1959. He died of hypertensive heart failure on 8 August that year at Alice Springs Hospital and was buried with Lutheran forms in the local cemetery. His wife, five sons and one of his daughters survived him.
For a time Namatjira's name drifted into obscurity, his achievements largely eclipsed by the 'dot painting' style developed at Papunya in the 1970s. Recent re-evaluations recognize his influence on Aboriginal artists in Central Australia and elsewhere. In 1994 members of the Hermannsburg Potters, led by his grand-daughter Elaine, acknowledged Namatjira's legacy by producing a terracotta mural for the headstone of his grave. The work is a landscape combining three sites in the Macdonnell Ranges which were the subjects of his paintings.

Here's a Photo of Journalism Champ Tom Hanks Casually Sitting In on a Newspaper Meeting
By Ashley Hoffman
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg sat in on a Washington Post morning news meeting Thursday to prepare for their upcoming movie based on historical acts of journalism in the 1970s.
The Post's David Nakamura shared a snapshot of Hanks attentively following the official business of the day during what was likely a higher-than-average-profile meeting at the Post.
Hanks will star as editor Ben Bradlee alongside Meryl Streep, who will play publisher Kay Graham in a movie based on the Post's role in publishing stories on the 40-volume leaked study detailing American involvement in the Vietnam war.
The White House famously battled in court to stop both the New York Times and Washington Post from publishing stories about the secret documents in a milestone test of the public's right to information. It was "[t]he most massive leak of secret documents in U.S. history," according to TIME's 1971 account.
Hanks isn't exactly a total stranger to the newsroom — he's given the White House Press Association coffee machines a number of times throughout the years, and the man loves a typewriter. See the photo below.

More info about Gerresheimer
Gerresheimer Receives Sustainability Award from AstraZeneca for 2020
In 2019, Astra Zeneca awarded Gerresheimer Gold Status for its exemplary sustainability for the first time.
Currently, the two Gerresheimer production plants Horšovský Týn and Pfreimd have again been awarded by AstraZeneca for 2020. The global sustainability program of the pharma company evaluates its suppliers in the three categories Inclusive, Resilient and Transparent. As in 2019, Gerresheimer achieved the required standards in all three areas and therefore receives the highest award for its sustainability management.
Companies no longer measure their performance solely by their commercial success and the quality of their products. Increasingly, they are actively assuming responsibility for the environment and the people in their sphere of influence as part of society. Gerresheimer sees itself as a pioneer in this development and laid down the principles of sustainability and corporate responsibility years ago in its corporate values and a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) guideline.
The pharmaceutical group AstraZeneca is pursuing a similar strategy and has set itself the goal of ensuring that at least 75% of its supplier partners worldwide achieve at least the bronze standard of the sustainability framework by 2025. The Gerresheimer production sites Horšovský Týn and Pfreimd, which work for AstraZeneca, go far beyond this basic level with their sustainability management and were therefore again awarded Gold certificates for the past year.
To be eligible for a Gold rating, a company must be active in all three categories of the AstraZeneca Sustainability Framework and meet minimum performance targets in each category. For example, the Inclusive category assesses human rights, diversity and inclusion, employee health and safety, and health promotion in the local community. The Resilient category includes company performance in the areas of energy and greenhouse gases, water, waste, product life cycle assessment, and environmental impact of pharmaceuticals. The Transparent category evaluates public CSR reporting and participation in transparency-enhancing measures. Performance is measured by assessments carried out by recognized external institutions such as EcoVadis and PSCI EcoDesk.
At the Horšovský Týn and Pfreimd sites, high-quality drug delivery systems, plastic syringes, medical and diagnostic products are produced. This requires adequate environmental conditions. With over 40 years of experience in clean-room production in accordance with ISO 14644-1 ISO Classes 7, 8 and 9 or GMP Classes C and D and covering the entire value chain in the clean room, Gerresheimer is the specialist for
clean-room production.

There is no soundtrack
Rethinking art, media, and the audio-visual contract
Author: Ming-Yuen S. Ma
There is no soundtrack is a specific yet expansive study of sound tactics deployed in experimental media art today. It analyses how audio and visual elements interact and produce meaning, drawing from works by contemporary media artists ranging from Chantal Akerman, to Nam June Paik, to Tanya Tagaq. It then links these analyses to discussions on silence, voice, noise, listening, the soundscape, and other key ideas in sound studies. In making these connections, the book argues that experimental media art – avant-garde film, video art, performance, installation, and hybrid forms – produces radical and new audio-visual relationships that challenge and destabilize the visually-dominated fields of art history, contemporary art criticism, cinema and media studies, and cultural studies as well as the larger area of the human sciences. This book directly addresses what sound studies scholar Jonathan Sterne calls 'visual hegemony'. It joins a growing body of interdisciplinary scholarship that is collectively sonifying the study of culture while defying the lack of diversity within the field by focusing on practitioners from transnational and diverse backgrounds. Therefore, the media artists discussed in this book are of interest to scholars and students who are exploring aurality in related disciplines including gender and feminist studies, queer studies, ethnic studies, postcolonial studies, urban studies, environmental analysis, and architecture. As such, There Is No Soundtrack makes meaningful connections between previously disconnected bodies of scholarship to build new, more complex and reverberating frameworks for the study of art, media, and sound.

Comradely objects
Design and material culture in Soviet Russia, 1960s–80s
Author: Yulia Karpova
The major part of this book project was funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 700913.
This book is about two distinct but related professional cultures in late Soviet Russia that were concerned with material objects: industrial design and decorative art. The Russian avant-garde of the 1920s is broadly recognised to have been Russia's first truly original contribution to world culture. In contrast, Soviet design of the post-war period is often dismissed as hackwork and plagiarism that resulted in a shabby world of commodities. This book identifies the second historical attempt at creating a powerful alternative to capitalist commodities in the Cold War era. It offers a new perspective on the history of Soviet material culture by focusing on the notion of the 'comradely object' as an agent of progressive social relations that state-sponsored Soviet design inherited from the avant-garde. It introduces a shared history of domestic objects, handmade as well as machine-made, mass-produced as well as unique, utilitarian as well as challenging the conventional notion of utility. Situated at the intersection of intellectual history, social history and material culture studies, this book elucidates the complexities and contradictions of Soviet design that echoed international tendencies of the late twentieth century. The book is addressed to design historians, art historians, scholars of material culture, historians of Russia and the USSR, as well as museum and gallery curators, artists and designers, and the broader public interested in modern aesthetics, art and design, and/or the legacy of socialist regimes.
Austerity baby
Author: Janet Wolff
This book can be described as an 'oblique memoir'. The central underlying and repeated themes of the book are exile and displacement; lives (and deaths) during the Third Reich; mother-daughter and sibling relationships; the generational transmission of trauma and experience; transatlantic reflections; and the struggle for creative expression. Stories mobilised, and people encountered, in the course of the narrative include: the internment of aliens in Britain during the Second World War; cultural life in Rochester, New York, in the 1920s; the social and personal meanings of colour(s). It also includes the industrialist and philanthropist, Henry Simon of Manchester, including his relationship with the Norwegian explorer, Fridtjof Nansen; the liberal British campaigner and MP of the 1940s, Eleanor Rathbone; reflections on the lives and images of spinsters. The text is supplemented and interrupted throughout by images (photographs, paintings, facsimile documents), some of which serve to illustrate the story, others engaging indirectly with the written word. The book also explains how forced exile persists through generations through a family history. It showcases the differences between English and American cultures. The book focuses on the incidence of cancers caused by exposure to radioactivity in England, and the impact it had on Anglo-American relations.
Soaking up the rays
Light therapy and visual culture in Britain, c. 1890–1940
Author: Tania Anne Woloshyn
Soaking up the rays forges a new path for exploring Britain's fickle love of the light by investigating the beginnings of light therapy in the country from c.1890-1940. Despite rapidly becoming a leading treatment for tuberculosis, rickets and other infections and skin diseases, light therapy was a contentious medical practice. Bodily exposure to light, whether for therapeutic or aesthetic ends, persists as a contested subject to this day: recommended to counter psoriasis and other skin conditions as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and depression; closely linked to notions of beauty, happiness and well-being, fuelling tourism to sunny locales abroad and the tanning industry at home; and yet with repeated health warnings that it is a dangerous carcinogen. By analysing archival photographs, illustrated medical texts, advertisements, lamps, and goggles and their visual representation of how light acted upon the body, Woloshyn assesses their complicated contribution to the founding of light therapy. Soaking up the rays will appeal to those intrigued by medicine's visual culture, especially academics and students of the histories of art and visual culture, material cultures, medicine, science and technology, and popular culture.


Cubefit's TerraMat is an ergonomic anti-fatigue pad designed specifically for standing desks and introduced to the market in 2017 after a very successful Kickstarter campaign which raised more than $100,000. Co-founder Gerald Zingraf designed the product after suffering from leg problems while using a standing desk. The product surface is made of thick, durable and supportive polyurethane and features a number of 3D protrusions including massage mounds, peaks, a balance bar and a power wedge, all designed to subconsciously encourage constant movement. These help users to stand for longer and to feel more energized throughout the working day while burning calories and preventing fatigue. The high quality and durable cushioned surface of the product is comfortable for standing on and the massage mounds allow for a quick foot massage during the day. The product supports more than eleven different standing positions and its wedge design helps to stretch calves, feet, and legs. In addition, the balance bar at the front of the unit supports core exercises meaning that users can increase their fitness and tone up at their workstation. The TerraMat is available on Amazon with a current price tag of $93.99 and ships for free.
How does the TerraMat Standing Desk Mat look?
Available in one size only, 30.5" X 27.5" and with a height of 3.5", the black TerraMat is a compact and unobtrusive addition to the office workstation. It is on average 60% thicker than similar products and as such may require users to adjust the height of other office furniture to accommodate the additional height. The product's curved surfaces and rounded edges give it a contemporary appearance and the multiple 3D protruding features which are spaced evenly across the unit are largely invisible from a distance. The front of the surface features a long, cylindrical balance bar running the width of the product. This has textured pressure peaks in its center and is designed to support core balancing exercises. There are two massage mounds to the right and left of the center of the terrain and these allow users to massage their feet during the day. The rear of the surface has a power wedge and support track which facilitates leg stretches and power stances. The thick and durable Polyurethane material is slightly shiny and may become more so with use. The product can be easily wiped clean, vacuumed or mopped, allowing it to look good for years to come. The manufacturer has also recently introduced a smaller version of the product to the market, the TerraMat lite which is compact and light enough to be easily moved around from location to location.
How does the Cubefit TerraMat Perform?
The TerraMat CubeFit encourages users to burn more calories by moving while working and hundreds of positive TerraMat reviews on the Amazon website testify to customers' positive experiences in using the product. The combination of the soft, springy and supportive terrain with the clever 3D features ensure that standing still on this terrain is the last thing that users will feel like doing. The surface is designed to keep users moving continuously throughout the day without even realizing that they are doing so. Continued use of the product leads to improvements in fitness and weight loss, a reduction in joint and muscle pain, and helps to avoid workplace fatigue which can be caused and exacerbated by sitting or standing still for long periods of time. A handy feature of the unit is that it can be easily maneuvered or repositioned using just a foot on carpeted and hard floors. This means that users don't need to bend down to move the mat and makes it easy to push the unit under the desk when it is not in use. The product provides a generous flat area for standing on, meaning that while users are encouraged to move naturally, there is also enough space to stand still. A unique addition, the balance bar, is exceptionally effective and easy to use, allowing users to focus on toning the core area as well as feet and legs. The 3D massage mounds are a nice addition and reviewers report using this function while sitting as well as standing. However, some customers complain that these are not quite firm enough and that they give in a little too easily when pressure is applied. Finally, the power wedge and support track features to the rear of the unit offer great opportunities for stretching calves and feet and enable power stances on the mat. TerraMat reviews are overwhelmingly positive with users reporting great improvements in energy levels, enhanced productivity and relief of back pain. The unit allows people to use standing desks for longer while avoiding some of the negative effects associated with long periods of standing in a stationary position. Many reviewers report excellent experiences in using the product barefoot as well as while wearing shoes. Because the surface is significantly thicker than other anti-fatigue terrain mats on the market, it is worth noting that it could potentially be a trip hazard and some users have reported tripping while stepping on or off the unit. For this reason, users are advised to store the product under the desk and out of the way when it is not in use.
CubeFit's TerraMat is available from the manufacturer's site directly at a cost of $99.99 (reduced from a previous price tag of $199.99) GetCubeFit also offers an additional 10% discount on the product through their own website. Shipping is free within the continental United States and the product is covered by a lifetime guarantee which allows customers to return the unit at any time for a full refund. The product is also available with free delivery through Amazon for $93.99. Orders are shipped within a week and the product arrives fully assembled with instructions. In addition, the manufacturer has produced a number of handy videos demonstrating how the mat can be used.
Cubefit's holistic approach to ergonomic design means the firm's products have some of the most unique and innovative capabilities available on the market. The 3D features of this unit really make it stand out from competitors' products and the TerraMat is suitable for all standing and adjustable desk users. What it is really unique about this product is the way that it caters just as well for passive users as it does for advanced fitness freaks. Whether you are just looking to improve your energy levels and burn a few extra calories at work or perform a variety of complex stretches and core toning moves in the office, the TerraMat can accommodate you. The manufacturer's lifetime guarantee on the product means that there is absolutely no risk and the price tag is pretty reasonable for a product which boasts some of the most advanced functionality on the market and literally hundreds of positive reviews. However, we did identify a couple of areas for improvement; the massage mounds on the surface could definitely be firmer and it does seem a pity that CubeFit doesn't make the unit in any other color than black. We'd also like to see some more size options. The TerraMat Lite is smaller and lighter but it doesn't have the same 3D functionality and so it's not really a substitute for the full-size version. We did also note customer comments about the height of the unit and its potential as a trip hazard. That said, these are minor gripes and on the whole CubeFit's anti-fatigue mat has a lot going for it.With free shipping, a lifetime guarantee, outstanding performance and a very reasonable price tag, it's hard to find a reason not to invest and that's why we've scored the product with 4 out of a possible 5.

In June 2015, Wärtsilä launched the new Wärtsilä 31 engine, a product which brought fuel efficiency, fuel flexibility, and operational optimisation to new levels, far beyond anything else currently available. Ilari Kallio, Vice President, R&D, explains the technology behind the next generation of engines, and enumerates the many benefits to Wärtsilä's customers that will result.
As word spread in early 2015 about Wärtsilä's latest engine launch, insiders were quietly hinting that this was to be the most significant shake-up of the company's product line in some years. "There are quite fundamental differences from our previous engine generations," explains Kallio.
"The Wärtsilä 31 engine is based on a new modular architecture we have developed," Kallio continues, "which provides a series of building blocks used to put the engine together. The point of this modularity – if you look, for example, to the automotive industry where this model is frequently used – is that you can assemble a whole range of products with the maximum commonality."
The first important realisation, then, is that this is more than just a product. The Wärtsilä 31 engine's flexibility means that an entire family of engines has been created, with diesel, dual-fuel (DF) and spark-ignited gas (SG) versions becoming available.
Flexibility and reliability
The advantages of this new approach are not just production oriented, but make themselves felt immediately in the use phase.
Intended to serve a variety of vessel types requiring main engine propulsion in the 4.2 to 9.8 MW power range, the Wärtsilä 31 meets a variety of needs. In the offshore sector, it is ideally suited for AHTSs, OSVs, drilling and semi-submersible vessels, while in the cruise and ferry sector it enables owners and operators to trim fuel expenses while maintaining high standards in environmental performance. Within the merchant fleet, the Wärtsilä 31 is designed for applications as a main engine for small to medium tankers, bulk carriers and container vessels.
The engine represents a remarkable increase in fuel efficiency, as evidenced by its receipt of a Guinness World Records title soon after it was launched, as it represents the world's most efficient 4-stroke diesel engine. The resultant fuel savings are also matched by significant extensions to maintenance intervals. For example, the first service on the Wärtsilä 31 is required after only 8,000 running hours, whereas alternative standard marine engines require maintenance after 2,000 running hours. Furthermore, maintenance procedures can be simplified, while the duration and costs of possible conversions can be minimised.
While the engine is being launched initially with Wärtsilä's marine customers in mind, in the future the new levels of fuel efficiency, fuel flexibility, and operational optimisation it provides will also be brought to bear on the power markets.
The sustainability imperative
Finally, sustainability metrics were a constant consideration during the design process of the Wärtsilä 31, as Wärtsilä's customers are increasingly conscious of regulatory developments. The new engine has been created to allow them to meet the needs of the future in this respect.
"The engine is designed to meet the most stringent emissions regulations that we can foresee," he confirms, and continues by pointing out the various courses of action it enables. "Since it has a dual-fuel engine operation possibility, the customer has the option of applying various emission-reducing strategies complementing the standard selective catalytic reduction solution, for example."
"The Wärtsilä 31's modularity is a very powerful property," says Kallio, "allowing us to make the product easily configurable to all kinds of applications. You'll see this approach at work in all the new engine generations we create. This development establishes a new type of thinking for Wärtsilä – a new way to design and manage a product."

Puy-de-dome is a department in the Auvergne region. It is an area which is richly diverse in both landscape and 'flora and fauna' including eagles, eagle owls, ospreys, red squirrels, wild boar, roe deer, stags and mouflon sheep, to name but a few which inhabit this rather beautiful and largely undiscovered part of France.

Q: Trouble inserting data with PHP and Jquery I have been at this for few hours now and need some help. I am a little new to jquery -  it seems straightforward enough, but I can't get this to work. If I submit the data through a form straight to the php page, it works perfectly, but I can't get the ajax to execute. It is pretty simple with just one variable to send for marking an item for review. Any help is appreciated.
    <input type="hidden" id="flag_item" name="flag_item" value="<?php echo $row[0]; ?>" />
    <input type="button" class="grn_button2" id="report_btn" name="report_btn" onclick="MM_changeProp('flag1','','display','none','SPAN'), MM_changeProp('flag2','','display','inline','SPAN')" value=" Report Item "/>

the jquery code
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
 <script>
 $(document).ready(function(){
  $(document).on('click','#report_btn',function(e) {
      var data = $("#flag_item").val();

      $.ajax({
       data: data,
       type: "POST",
       url: "flag.php",
       success: function(data) {
        alert("Item has been reported");
        }
        });
      });
    });
</script>

and the php
$flag_item = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbgo, $_POST["flag_item"]);

$query = "SELECT flag FROM listings WHERE item_num = '$flag_item'";
$result = mysqli_query($dbconnect, $query);
if(!$result){
         die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
        }
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
$new_row = $row[0] + 1;

A: You missed param name here:
var data = $("#flag_item").val();

Try this:
var data = {"flag_item":$("#flag_item").val()};

A: I got it working now. I ditched the jquery I was using and started over. This jquery code is working.
$('#flag_form').submit(function(){
 return false;
});

$('#flag_form').click(function(){
$.post(
$('#flag_form').attr('action'),
$('#flag_form :input').serializeArray(),
function(result){
alert("Item has been reported");
}
);
});

I also added the form tag and the action to input fields. Thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it.

Businesses Are Investing Heavily in Blockchain. But Is the Trust There? | Opinion
Willem Roper , Market Editor, Statista Inc.
On 9/2/20 at 12:56 PM EDT
Opinion Business Blockchain
Blockchain technology is no longer conceptual in the business world. Data shows spending on blockchain infrastructure and services has been soaring over the past few years, as companies look to improve security and streamline supply chains. There's no question that blockchain has piqued the interest of the enterprise world, and technology companies are quickly taking advantage of a surge in demand for blockchain solutions. Questions remain, however, on whether blockchain can move beyond just a proof of concept for most companies, as well as how blockchain-as-a-service products can help in the pursuit of tangible business outcomes. The answer may lie not within the technology, but within the relationships of stakeholders participating in an enterprise blockchain. Can competing businesses trust each other in order to build a faster, safer digital transaction ecosystem?
An effective explanation of blockchain technology deserves its own encyclopedia. A broad definition can begin by splitting the tech into two subgroups: permissionless and permissioned. Traditional blockchain is permissionless, allowing for a distributed, decentralized ledger of data available publicly. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are the most recognizable forms of permissionless blockchains, giving anybody the ability to validate blockchain records and participate in its creation.
Permissioned blockchains are a relatively new take on the technology. While the systems of distributed ledgers are upheld, only a select group of users is given the ability to validate ongoing blockchain updates. Some see this as a step away from a true blockchain by pushing the technology toward centralization. Others, like IBM, Amazon, Microsoft and a growing body of enterprises, see it as an opportunity to utilize governance within a blockchain for quick, secure transactions within their organizations and between producers, distributors, retailers and consumers.
Both types of blockchains function on the same basic principles of game theory. By working together to achieve a common goal, everyone benefits more than they would if they all acted alone.
Despite the technology existing and a surging interest among companies, the enterprise blockchain is still far from revolutionizing how businesses conduct transactions. The main problem that blockchain providers like IBM are discovering is one embedded into the game theory design of the technology itself—finding ways to align different companies' incentives and distribute power evenly throughout a permissioned blockchain. Technological problems still exist, but the overarching challenge many analysts see is the inability for companies to accept an equal playing field. Like the prisoner's dilemma, the drive for companies to gain a competitive advantage with blockchain technology ultimately leads to an overall worse outcome for an industry as a whole.
Of course, companies should be working in their self-interest. The entire idea of a capitalist society is based around healthy competition, and in a way, so, too, is the blockchain. By competing fairly within a peer-to-peer enterprise blockchain infrastructure, businesses elevate the playing field of trade for every player in the consortium.
That's not yet happening on the scale blockchain providers are promising. Anecdotal positive use cases are popping up more and more, but the hyper-interconnectivity of businesses and industries working together through the blockchain hasn't been realized. Data on businesses investing more on research and one-dimensional blockchain services highlight the absence of a unifying force that could really bring the technology into its true form.
The current economic crisis stemming from COVID-19 could serve as a catalyst for increased blockchain adoption. Trust in competitors will arise out of necessity, as different companies within a supply chain encounter more and more challenges over the coming years. Maybe now more than ever, entire industries are desperate to foster more efficient trade and communication between businesses. The voice of every stakeholder in a company needs to be heard and implemented into new strategies, and a blockchain infrastructure of decentralized data distribution could be a key contributor for finding a path out of the woods. The first step starts with companies buying into trusting their competition.

Home/Wii U/The Last Wii U Game Nintendo Needs to Port to Switch Is Netflix
The Last Wii U Game Nintendo Needs to Port to Switch Is Netflix
Before I start complaining too much, let me say this: I love my Switch. About three years ago my wife and I got rid of most of our shit and piled into a camper to boondock across America for a while, and it's honestly difficult to imagine our unplug-from-the-grid phase without my Switch by my side (I was like so-so at the whole "going off the grid thing," obviously). While we were roughing it without a bathroom or a leakproof ceiling, I recall spending many nights playing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and yelling into the beautiful countryside "Why is this stupid game so fun?" I endured the drudgery of laundromats all over the midwest with a little help from Hollow Knight. I also played a lot of Battle Chef Brigade on my laptop, which doesn't really fit into this narrative at all, but holy crap, go play Battle Chef Brigade everybody.
So okay, I love my Switch. I just wish it could do more. Like, things that have been considered basic for years and years at this point. The other day, after having read his SCATHING DAMNATION of the new Pokémon game, "Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is Exactly the Game Fans Begged For in Like 2011," I saw my homeboy Jeremy "The King" Kaplowitz was online and playing Pokemon. I went to send him a message that said, "Have fun in 2011," but I couldn't. I was stuck in 2004. Why can't I send my friend a little message and bust his balls a little bit? I understand Nintendo's family friendly approach means that they don't want players being harassed, so I understand not allowing DM's to strangers, but to my friends? My very close Nintendo friends? My good Nintendo friend SW-1952-1782-8870? Get with the times, Nintendo.
The inability to tell my friend he was stuck in time got me thinking about the Switch in general. About how it contains the greatest game library I've ever owned, but it's stuck on underwhelming hardware. Sadly, this is but one of several ways that Nintendo has prevented the Switch from being a truly great system. For every Breath of the Wild, there's a convoluted online subscription service. For every Metroid Dread, a feature you can't believe a major video game console would be without in 2022.
I think for me the most glaring oversight may be the absolutely abysmal options the Switch offers for video apps. They have Netflix on dryers now, but still not the gaming system I play every day. Seriously, how am I able to play Hades, Super Mario Bros. 3, Knights of the Old Republic, Portal 2 (soon), and Mario Kart 8, yet it still has less exciting video options than my 3DS offered?
And that's part of what makes this so frustrating, there is a history of Netflix being on Nintendo consoles. Did you know the Wii literally was able to stream Netflix a decade ago? A decade! Think about that.
Okay, that's probably enough thinking. Thank you. Most people don't think about shit when an article tells them to. They just keep reading. But you really thought about it when I asked. That's so cool.
A decade ago, apps and streaming technology were blowing our minds with their convenience and innovation. Ten years later, and if I have to charge a device and I can't watch 30 Rock reruns on it, what in the fuck are you even doing? The Switch has skated by on its good looks and Mario games for too long. I will no longer afford Nintendo the forgiveness I refused to bestow on my FitBit. It's time to do better Nintendo, or the Switch is going in the microwave as well. Don't mess with me.
And look, I'm not trying to go to bat for Netflix exclusively. Hell, by the time you're done reading this they will have announced another price hike and I'll probably cancel it until they make some new MST3k episodes or something. I'm just saying I wish Nintendo wouldn't confuse imitation for basic consumer expectations. I wish they wouldn't insist on staying in their own lane, even when the other lanes are doing really cool things. I wish they'd add a third video app, frankly.
Wednesday's Nintendo Direct saw a plethora of remakes and re-releases spanning Nintendo's history, from obscure NES games to an update to Wii Sports that I don't think anybody saw coming. Maybe one day they'll run out of games to bring back from the last few Nintendo systems and we finally will get a Netflix app.
In the meantime, hopefully that Mario movie comes to Hulu eventually, because that's the only way you'll be able to watch it on a Nintendo Switch.

Select-your-own-murder recreation Loretta comes out subsequent month


Buffalo Killers are a rock band that was formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2006. Shortly after, they began gigging throughout Ohio and recorded a five-song demo which they sent out to various record labels. Less than a week later the band received a call from Alive Records; "The label liked the recordings so much that they wanted to release them as they were", according to bassist Zach Gabbard. Alive Records subsequently signed Buffalo Killers, who recorded five more songs to round out their debut self-titled album which was released in October 2006. That album drew the attention of Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes who invited the band to open a string of dates for The Black Crowes in 2007. While on tour, Buffalo Killers wrote half of what would become the album Let it Ride.
Following the tour, the band went in to the studio with Black Keys vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach who produced the album in his Akron, OH studio. The recording session took "only a few days", according to Auerbach, who downplayed his role in making the album. "These are the kind of guys that don't need a lot of help when it comes to making records or sparking their imagination." Auerbach felt his most important contribution was in capturing "the raw live sound of this band." After completion of the album Buffalo Killers were asked to go on tour with The Black Keys. During this tour they came upon a fan's bootleg of their performance and they decided to include it as a bonus live CD in a limited edition vinyl pressing of the album. Another tour opening for The Black Crowes would follow in November 2008. In 2011, Buffalo Killers were featured on a Guided by Voices tribute album where they performed the track Scalding Creek with Kelley Deal of The Breeders. Other artists on that album included The Flaming Lips, Of Montreal, and Dinosaur Jr.
Buffalo Killers released their third studio album appropriately titled 3 featuring the single Circle Day. The first thousand vinyl copies were released half on blue vinyl and half on purple. They followed that record up with Dig Sow Love Grow and the six song EP Ohio Grass. In 2013, the band signed to Sun Pedal Recordings and appeared at the Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati, OH with Fun, Teagan & Sara, Walk the Moon, and more. Their fifth studio album was recorded in Cleveland, OH at Crushtone Studios with producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Fiona Apple) and will be released via Sun Pedal Recordings in 2014.

            } else if(inStack[ch]) {
                low[u] = min(low[u], disc[ch]);

        for(const auto& p: graph) {

                scc_helper(p.first, disc, low, st, inStack, scc, time);
        }
        cerr << "completed" << endl;
        return scc;
    }
};

void read(string& input) {
    do {
        getline(cin, input);
    } while(input.length() > 0 && input[0] == '%');
}

Graph read_graph() {
    string input;
    istringstream ss;
    int n, m, v;

    read(input); ss.str(input);
    ss >> n >> m;
    ss.clear();

    Graph G(n, m);

    for(int u=1; u<=n; u++) {
        read(input); ss.str(input);
        while(ss >> v) {
            G.add_edge(u, v);
        } ss.clear();
        if(G.graph.find(u) == G.graph.end()) G.graph[u] = unordered_set<int>();
    }
    return G;
}

int main() {
    Graph G = read_graph();
    cerr << "read input\n";
    vector<unordered_set<int>> scc = G.get_scc();

    cout << scc.size() << "\n";
}

After debugging, I have found that the condition if(disc[u] == low[u]) is not getting evaluated to true when program throws segmentation fault.
Another thing is that, Segmentation fault was received on lines disc[u] = low[u] = time++;, st.push(u); and inStack[u] = true; and at that time there were approx. 20,000 entries in each of the unordered_map and in stack.
Some details about input:
for, n=16384 m=283794, the program is working correctly
but for, n=58960 m=269439, it is throwing segmentation fault.


Fringe Technical Director Gabriel Pinto occupies Saturday night with a sax solo.
Finally a cross-town collaboration between Lemoyne and SU (well,sort of). Le Moyne alums Jacob Ellison and Justin Sullivan used creativity and crowd funding to pull together the inaugural Syracuse Fringe Festival last weekend, and it was held at the Community Folk Art Center along the Connective Corridor. The event featured three days of multi-disciplinary artistic endeavors. We checked out the final day of the program, which featured David Doyle, Ruth Arena and Anna Phillips. Fringe was very reminiscent of the THINC Sideshow parties from a decade or so ago (except the demographic for the Fringe was slightly older).
What was most surprising on Saturday was to watch Phillips, who is the artistic equivalent of a love child between Missy Elliot (always ahead of the curve) and Steven Wright (wry humor), do a comedy show in the Black Box Theater and smoothly transition into a monologue about her life that was more compelling than a episode of HBO's In Treatment.
Was it Something She Said? Anna Phillips kept it real for Spatial Profiling.
Not that it wasn't good, just unexpected. We look forward to Anna's upcoming gigs, where she will bring the noise again with jokes at two shows locally: Chicks are Funny and Guns n' Syrup.

Blount County is one of the oldest counties in Tennessee. The County was the tenth created in Tennessee when a part of Knox County was separated by the Territorial Legislature in 1795. It was named after William Blount, Governor of the Territory of the United States "South of the River Ohio." The County seat was authorized to be laid out in 1795 and was named Maryville in honor of Mary Blount, the wife of Governor William Blount. Settlement of the area began in 1785 mainly with Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. The early settlers were thrifty and energetic people who moved westward from Virginia and North Carolina. These settlers, for the most part, were not wealthy landowners, but instead were looking for fertile land to farm, ample water supply, and abundant resources of lumber. Lumbering was the first primary industrial trade in Blount County.
Today, lumbering has been replaced with many varied occupational opportunities. Over 100 manufacturing plants can be found in Blount County. The principal employers for the residents of the County are DENSO Manufacturing TN Inc, Alcoa Inc, ProNova Solutions and Blount Memorial Hospital.
The County contains 584 square miles and is bordered on the east by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and on the west by the great chain of lakes created by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Little River, flowing out of the Great Smokies, winds it way across the County and pours into the Tennessee Valley lakes. The Little Tennessee River parallels the southern border. The County is served by several major highways: U.S. Highway 129, 411 and 321, as well as State Route I-140, 33 and 95, and State Highway 73 leading directly into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In order to produce this much steel, Nucor's minimills are continuously in operation, melting down and recasting scrap metal. Despite the harsh conditions and extreme temperatures, everything needs to be in perfect working order. When dealing with a commodity as valuable as steel, any downtime is costly.
Currently, Nucor uses Superbolt multi-jackbolt tensioners in two applications on its steel mills, resulting in improved safety and reliability, as well as contributing to more ergonomic working environment conditions for its workers.
Firstly, Superbolt MJTs are used to secure the rolls to the roll chocks. Compared to torque tightened nuts, applying the necessary torque is significantly easier as it can be achieved using standard hand tools, thus eliminating the strain when assembling and disassembling equipment.
Secondly, the tensioners also secure the mill's stand to the transport cart used in the production process. Originally, this was secured using hydraulic nuts, which were cumbersome, unreliable and thus a safety hazard for employees. However, since switching to Superbolt MJTs, the connection to the cart is now safe and reliable.
