What is The Computer Journal
The Computer Journal was the idea of Art Carlson and consumed many hours of his everyday for several long years. Art got the idea after using an Apple II computer for some automation. He felt that others would be interested in what he learned while working on the project. He enlisted writers from many areas of the computer industry, but mainly those who were doing hands-on projects. Over the years the magazine had grown and was very popular with do-it-yourself computer tinkers. What is contained here is the full set of issues, tuned into PDFs and some of the articles done by Bill Kibler.
Art developed some health issues and turned the magazine over to Chris McEwen. Chris published many issues from his East Coast location, before having to move to the West Coast. During the tranisiton it became clear that the magazine needed a new Editor, and Bill Kibler took over at that time. Art, Chris, and Bill were not the only authors in the magazine, some of the better kown writers were: Jay Sage, Frank Sergeant, Richard Rodman, Herb Johnson, Brad Rodriguez, Helmut Jungkunz, Tilman Reh, and Ronald W. Anderson.
Bill had over 14 years of writing articles for the magazine, and took over in June 1992. He transferred ownership to Dave Baldwin, Dec. 31, 1995. Currently TCJ operations are suspended.
Some of the articles are provided here, while all of the articles can be found in the selected issues pdf, which are in the TCJ Archive
Published Articles by Bill Kibler
I wrote over 90 articles for The Computer Journal. I wrote the "Computer Corner", every issue from number 17. Issues 56 through 76 also contained comments in the Reader to Reader section as answers to letters and questions from readers. From issue 59 on, a centerfold section contained schematics and explanation on items of interest, ranging from IMSAI MPU-A S-100 board, complete XEROX-820, to a 640K-XT motherboard.

The small farm of my father My father has a small farm where the plantations already are all adults. The shade of goiabeira copper all my face. The banana tree grew as much that has up to two clusters. The hen house, full you of the pintinhos ones yellow. The way that passed pra to see the flowers of my mother, badly fits my feet. But exactly thus to obtain to pass of the other side pra to see the coloring of the butterfly most beautiful. Looking at brilliant, they seem the eyes of the tita, when its mother decorates its hair with pink ribbon.
Of the other side it gave to see the pineapples lined up. Appositive that my teacher went to adore to see all quiets. I descend the ribanceira, almost to fall with the noises of the peixinhos playing of handle, catches. It knows, had thus to be in my school: each cantinho must have one peixinho in the river, a colorful butterfly together with the garden of my mother. When to arrive at my school, I will count pra my teacher, who knows it decides to in front change the small farm of my father! Who must like this estria is the Juca. Coitado, suffers in such a way with the heat that loses the breath.
Visualizing the relations politics they show that it was given of a imbricamento of relations where if established constantly through shocks between governing, as it was the case of the cabano movement, occurrence in the State of the Par Grain. Concerning the distanciamento of the region regarding the Brazilian empire, the author minimizes, therefore she believes that with the extensive social relations of the grain she stops with the provinces of Brazil made with that the Amaznia could is next to Brazil for factors, as of the economic relations, therefore the commerce was intense, as much in the Amazonian hinterland, as with the provinces as Gois, Mato Grosso and Cear beyond other provinces, as well as with the Lisbon metropolis. One another factor of approach of the Amaznia with the State of Brazil had been the questions of provincial rebellions that from 1817, made with that many rebels were ordered for the Amaznia. The author emphasizes that although all these factors what it goes to make the region to insert itself in a way accomplish to the Brazilian territory and the related economic question to the gomfera economy. In short, what Ricci intends to make is to demystify distanciamento of the Amaznia in relation to the Brazilian Empire, showing that the social, economic relations and politics were they who approached them the two places. In the related question the women the author visualizes as these if they had articulated with in the distance geographic relation of reviewing the inheritance questions, as Mrs. Genoveva Rita is the case.

Q: Why am I am Getting a Typeerror: res.send is not a function with Axios. Res.send works outside the res.send but I need the data from the API enter image description here
I need to get data from this api endpoint, and send it to my client (React). Everything works fine between the frontend and backend, but I cant seem to figure out how to get the data within /dailyscores endpoint and send it using axios. Any help on why res.send is not a function inside .then, and a way to get it work?

A: The way you are using res as argument name for both express and axios callback is the issue here.
app.get('...', (req, res) => {
  axios.get('...').then((res) => {
    res.send(res.data); // here the res of axios.then is used
  })
});

Instead use different names
app.get('...', (req, res) => {
  axios.get('...').then((response) => {
    res.send(response.data);
  })
});

checkout variable scopes for more info

A: To get data from API please try as below:
const [apiResp, setApiResp] = useState([]);

 useEffect(() => {
    axios.get(`<api>`)
      .then(res => {
        const response = res.data;
        setApiResp([response]);
      })

  });

Q: Use Python tkFileDialog to access network drive folders I am using Python tkFileDialog.askdirectory(parent=root, initialdir='\\\\Servername\\root\\cimv2') to access a network drive folder, but am unable to do so.  A browse box with my computers drives opens up to select a folder.
Is there a way to select a folder from a network drive using Python?

A: Your slashes should be reversed for the initialdir keyword argument.
It should be:
tkFileDialog.askdirectory(parent=root, initialdir='//Servername/root/cimv2')

A: win32ui.CreateFileDialog might work for you. If you're on ArcGIS, the pythonaddins.OpenDialog and pythonaddins.SaveDialog would work too.

Literature / Loskutik And The Cloud
Loskutik and the Cloud (Лоскутик и облако, Loskutik i oblako; English title Raggity and the Cloud) is a 1972 fairy tale by Sofia Prokofieva, with a 1977 animated adaptation.
Loskutik (from Russian loskut, rag) is an orphaned girl living as a servant to abusive shopkeepers. Moreover, it's only half of her problems: the entire country is suffering from an eternal drought, thanks to the fact that the king has somehow stolen all the water for himself and only hands it out in limited quantities for a good deal of money.
However, Loskutik's life changes when one day she finds a weakened, exhausted Cloud on her windowsill. What starts as her plan to help the Cloud get to their friend, a toad from the royal palace, and the Cloud's idea to find her a better place after the shopkeepers kick her out, eventually spirals into a mission to return water to the land. They get help from Barbatsutsa, the intimidating royal cook, Vermilyon, an impoverished painter, and Soot (Sazha), a chimney-sweep boy.
Loskutik and the Cloud contains examples of:
Adopt-a-Servant: Since her toddler days, Loskutik has been passed from one guardian to another as a cheap servant. Barbatsutsa, at least, hires her when Loskutik applies for the job herself – and it's with her that the girl eventually becomes Happily Adopted.
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: At one point, the Cloud gets drunk and blurts out about the only way to defeat them right in front of the king's chief advisor.
Bad People Abuse Animals: Uncle Glug is established as cruel towards his old horse on the very first page. It doesn't get better.
Batman Gambit: Slysh organizes a huge water-drinking competition, correctly predicting that the Cloud won't be able to resist it. However, he believes they will arrive disguised as some other person, and he doesn't foresee them teaming up with Vermilyon and pretending to be his moustache and beard.
Bribe Backfire: When the king's men demand the Cloud's surrender from (chronologically) Barbatsutsa, Loskutik, Vermilyon and Soot. The promises to Barbatsutsa, Vermilyon and Soot (Loskutik was offered to get her parents resurrected) are actually realistic and might have even been fulfilled.
But Now I Must Go: The Cloud can't stay in the same place forever and has to fly away in the end, bringing a bittersweet tinge to an otherwise happy ending.
Changing Chorus: In the animated adaptation, the horse's second song has a chorus that only includes one phrase that always gets repeated: "And what else can one wish, and what else can one dream of?" After that phrase, each repetition of the chorus describes a different thing the horse dreams of: a cold brook in the first chorus, rain, fresh leaves and flowers in the second, a sea and clouds in the sky in the third.
Chef of Iron:
Barbatsutsa, so very much. Even though she doesn't do fighting per se, her personality is enough to frighten an army (literally).
Inverted completely with the chief cook, who is the most nervous man on earth.
Chekhov's Gunman: Barbatsutsa's pigeons end up getting sent to call the Thundercloud for help.
Cool Old Lady: Barbatsutsa, Rositta the toad, and Granny Thundercloud. They are very impressed by each other, too.
Didn't See That Coming: The king keeps all the water of the realm hidden under his palace. Nobody would ever want to rebel against him, right? Slysh calls him out for only thinking of the present day, and the king hand-waves it.
Doesn't Know Their Own Birthday: Loskutik, a poor orphan who has lived her entire life as a servant to abusive masters, doesn't know when her birthday is.
The Dreaded: The king's chief advisor Slysh (from slyshat, "to hear"). It's rumored he hears everything that goes on in the kingdom (an exaggeration, but not an extreme one).
Drowning My Sorrows: The Cloud, briefly.
Establishing Character Moment: At first, Barbatsutsa looks and behaves like a villainous character (complete with a sharp, gleaming, piercing eye, usually the Author Catchphrase in villains' descriptions), but her first chapter culminates in her taking Loskutik in and giving her a proper dinner for the first time in the girl's life.
Eyepatch of Power: Barbatsutsa wears one. It makes her look like someone in-between a pirate and a witch.
Everything's Better with Rainbows: Granny Thundercloud's parting gift.
Fat and Skinny: The king Fontanius (Fat) and Slysh (Skinny).
Faux Affably Evil: Slysh never or almost never raises his voice and is very calm and polite. He is also the most dangerous villain around with no redeeming qualities.
The Ghost: Vermilyon has a fiancée, but she is only mentioned in the narration and never appears, nor does he ever talk about her.
Green-Eyed Monster: A non-romantic example with the Cloud, who is so jealous of Loskutik gaining a new friend in Soot that they drink an entire barrel of wine. Loskutik quite reasonably calls them out, since why can't she have other friends besides the Cloud when the Cloud spends hours talking to Rositta?
Happily Adopted: Loskutik by Barbatsutsa, eventually.
Honorary Uncle: Subverted with Uncle Glug, the king's water-seller. Everyone calls him Uncle, but it's not for any virtues of his, for he is nothing but a lonely, miserly jerk.
Immediate Self-Contradiction: The chief cook about his cousin, the head guard.
My cousin… he is so selfless… but, you know, he doesn't like it when one comes to him empty-handed…
Interspecies Friendship:
The Cloud's best friends are Rositta the toad and the human girl Loskutik. Barbatsutsa suggests finding a centipede to complete the group.
Uncle Glug's old horse is friendly with Nightly Philosopher the eagle-owl.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Several examples.
The Cloud is very easily offended, but in the end, always kind and loyal to their friends (even when they're drunk as a fiddler).
Even more so with Barbatsutsa. She has such a temper that the royal guards are afraid of her, and a very loving heart beneath it. Her reaction to finding Loskutik at her door says it all: she roaringly accuses the girl of being a thief, then drags her into the house and gives her a whole roast goose to eat.
The Owl-Knowing One: Nightly Philosopher, the elderly eagle-owl who still remembers the way the country used to be before the drought.
Lemony Narrator: Often comments on the character's actions and sometimes outright breaks the fourth wall.
If you, dear reader, ever come to that city, make sure to visit the museum and look at the portrait of old Grandmother Thundercloud. You won't regret it!
Never Had a Birthday Party: Loskutik doesn't even know when she was born. When Barbatsutsa employs her, she throws her a birthday party, complete with a plate of pies and a huge cake, telling her that a person without a birthday hasn't been born and she won't be tricked into paying wages to a nonexistent servant.
Never Mess with Granny: Very much justified, since the Cloud's grandmother is the Thundercloud.
No Biological Sex: The Cloud apparently doesn't have one, and is referred to in the neutral gender (the noun cloud is neutral in Russian, while thundercloud is feminine). It's not explained how they manage to have a grandmother (and whether it's a grandmother in the way humans define the term).
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Melchior, the shopkeeper who employs Loskutik in the beginning, seems to be, and usually is, nothing more than a cowardly bully. However, it's him who first tracks down the Cloud and reports to the king.
Nothing but Skin and Bones: Loskutik in the beginning. After two weeks of having huge meals and resting at Barbatsutsa's house, she is still too thin for work, in Barbatsutsa's opinion.
Pauper Patches: Embodied by Loskutik so much that she gets her name from that.
Riches to Rags: Vermilyon used to be an extremely popular painter, however, as his paintings have become too insightful for the customers' liking, he is now a Starving Artist.
Shapeshifting Heals Wounds: The Cloud recalls how they got rid of an awful toothache by turning into a sailboat, since a sailboat doesn't have any teeth.
Spanner in the Works: Barbatsutsa squeezing lemon juice into milk gets accidentally noticed by Peppersalt, the smallest and shiest kitchen boy. Even so, he wouldn't have told anyone had it not been for the chief cook accidentally slipping on a lemon peel and demanding explanations.
Trademark Favorite Food: Wheat cream for the king.
Tricking the Shapeshifter: Slysh catches the Cloud by convincing them to turn into a small clock.
Vague Age:
Loskutik doesn't know when she was born. Barbatsutsa estimates she's around ten.
The Cloud is 1700063 rains old. That's all we get to know.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: The Cloud can take any possible form. It doesn't always help with disguise, since whatever they look like, they are white and near-transparent. However, it can be mended by painting them.
They also have a very talented handkerchief, a separate entity and also a shapeshifter.
The animated adaptation contains examples of:
Abled in the Adaptation: Downplayed. Barbatsutsa has both her eyes, but she is extremely shortsighted and needs glasses constantly. Most probably, the creators felt an Eyepatch of Power (like in the book) will make her look too frightening (as it actually does, again, in the book).
Adaptational Badass: Loskutik is more strong and resourceful than in the book. She single-handedly helps the Cloud to get inside the palace disguised as her apron.
Adaptational Explanation Extrication: In the film, we never learn how the kingdom actually survives in such conditions and how the wheat for the king's meals or the ingredients for Loskutik's birthday cake even appear. The book elaborates on the trade that goes on with the neighboring countries.
Adaptational Job Change: Downplayed. Vermilyon is a landscape painter instead of a portrait painter. Which serves as Adaptational Angst Upgrade as we see him painting the same gloomy landscape over and over again.
Adaptational Name Change: Soot is called Chumazik ("the dirty one"). In the book, it's the name of his Adapted Out pigeon.
Adaptational Nice Guy:
Barbatsutsa's appearance is much less scary and she is much kinder from the start.
The Cloud is much nicer with Loskutik and everyone else as well. Of all the times they behave like a jerk in the books, basically only the jealous quarrel with Loskutik over her friendship with Chumazik remains (since it leads to an important plot turn).
Character Exaggeration: In the book, Barbatsutsa once says "I swear by the last cow in the world". The film has her saying it all the time. She even gets a song that ends with "I swear by the cow".
Expository Theme Tune: "Everything's Groaning With Thirst" ("Vsyo ot zhazhdy iznyvayet"), sung by Uncle Glug's old horse.
Honorary Aunt: Loskutik eventually starts calling Barbatsutsa "Aunt" (in the book, it's not specified how she calls her).
List Song: The lyrics of Barbatsutsa's song are mostly this, listing the qualities of properly cooked wheat cream.
Pragmatic Adaptation: Most notably, the film adapts out the water-drinking competition (involving a crowd of people and a complicated setting), instead making the Cloud sneak into the palace with Loskutik's help.
Supreme Chef: Loskutik manages to make wheat cream even better than Barbatsutsa. At her first try.
While Rome Burns: Melchior and the head guard, who claim they don't even need water if only they have enough beer and wine.

Former rugby league player Johnny Lawless is on a mission to improve mental health
Johnny Lawless.
Ian Hirst
He never shirked a challenge during his professional rugby league career and Johnny Lawless was on the front foot again as he urged people not to shy away from the subject of mental health.
Johnny made more than 200 appearances in Super League and was part of the Sheffield Eagles team that sensationally beat Wigan Warriors to win the Challenge Cup at Wembley in 1998.
Dan Keane.
These days the 44-year-old dad is a director at a mechanical services firm based in his home town of Halifax.
But he is also on a mission to combat – through the work of a training, education and awareness-raising initiative called Minds Matter – the stigma that sometimes still surrounds poor mental health.
Johnny said it was important for people to realise that even small changes can make a big difference to their wellbeing.
"We've all got mental health and you've got to respect it – and if you don't respect it, it can take you to places you don't want to be," he said.
"We're finding that a lot of people have very limited knowledge of what mental health actually is and the effects it can have.
"This is why we do these presentations, to give people some basic awareness and hopefully encourage them to explore it further themselves."
Johnny's journey towards the front line of mental health work began in tragic circumstances, with two of his friends from the rugby league community taking their own lives in the space of 18 months.
Siddal ARLFC forward Matthew Smith and former Leeds player Mick Shaw died in October 2010 and March 2012 respectively. They were both in their 30s.
Following their deaths, Johnny went for counselling with Sporting Chance, the charity set up by ex-Arsenal and England footballer Tony Adams.
He subsequently attended a two-day mental health first aid course before launching Minds Matter two years ago.
He and Mind Matters colleague Dan Keane now take their programme of presentations, conferences and consultations into a range of workplaces and sports clubs.

Rastrick head highlights importance of front-line support for students in line with Mental Health Awareness Week
Their main message is that 'awareness is key', with audiences being encouraged to start conversations and focus on the present, rather than events in the past or concerns about what could happen in the future.
Johnny – who describes himself as a typical, plain-speaking Yorkshireman – tells people how the deaths of Matthew and Mick had opened his eyes to the crippling problems that many people choose to bottle up.
Dan, 26, also shared his story explaining how he struggled with his own mental health issues after injury brought a halt to his time as a player with Siddal ARLFC four years ago.
He has since realised that his involvement with the sport was a "coping strategy" established after the sudden death of his mother during his teenage years.
Other elements of the presentation included a true-or-false quiz and an animated film about depression called I Had a Black Dog.
Participants were also encouraged to write down both positive and negative words and phrases associated with mental health.
And there was information on the so-called 'Mindnificent 7' – a set of action points for people to work towards, including balance, learning and communication.
Asked what his advice would be for anyone finding it hard to cope with mental health issues, Johnny said: "The first thing they need to have is hope that it can be better, it can be different.
"One thing we know about mental health is that it moves around all the time. Just because you're in one place now, doesn't mean to say you can't be in the place where you want to be.
"But you need to change things to get there. Maybe approach someone and seek help, speak to a family member or friend, or if your workplace has got a mental health first aider then go and see them. Be brave and be open about it.
"I think Mental Health Awareness Week is a win-win for everybody, it gets us talking about mental health, you're introducing people to the subject when they might not have been aware of it before.
"We want to hear from companies, from sports clubs, from everyone – we're going to keep banging the drum and trying to start conversations."

This topic is also about places in the World with most Chain stores/Least Independent Stores/Businesses.
Another category to include is a Mixed Category: Having a high percentage of Successful Independent Stores Businesses and Chain Stores at the same time.
I usually prefer mostly Independent Stores Businesses and a Lack of Chain Stores. However, there is some exceptions for very few chain stores where I don't mind. There has to be an even mix of both versions of stores, or a significantly higher percentage of Independent being more ubiquitous than chain stores.
I see it as very good, beneficial, valuable, impressive and bringing in more exciting vibrancy in Successful Urban Planning and Cities/Towns to have a lot of Independent Stores and to at least slightly decrease the amount of chain stores.
Plenty of Suburbs in a lot of Countries. Too many Specific Suburbs to name.
Stockholm has nothing but chain stores.
Wow, that would be surprising if that is the situation for Stockholm. Are you saying that even for the Stureplan neighborhood? Most people outside of Scandinavia, including me, assume that cities there have a lot of Independent Stores and a Relative lack of Chain Stores.
You know how some people have idealized, perfect, utopian views of Sweden and other Scandinavian countries.
Plenty of people that I know, including friends and family, that visited and experienced Sweden usually say there is a large variety of Independent Stores Businesses over there.
I just checked Stockholm out on Google maps related to this topic and it appears there is both plenty of Independent Stores and Chain Stores simultaneously, so maybe it qualifies for Category 3.
But you got to stay out of midtown.
People who think that Sweden is expensive should stay out of Stureplan, with or without chain stores.
I think it is better to check out the areas Södermalm and Vasastan, specially off the major streets where you can find the really cool stores.
Well, I wouldn't stay out of Stureplan. That is one of the best neighborhoods in Stockholm for architecture, urban entertainment, people scene, stores, and nightlife. I like spending a lot of money sometimes for the best, worthwhile activities, even if expensive. However, I also enjoy spending money on a lot of affordable cheap products to go with that.
I wonder what the situation is for other Swedish cities, including for this topic, such as for Gothenburg and Malmo, and for other Scandinavian cities: Oslo, Bergen, Reykjavik, and Copenhagen.
Those neighborhood recommendations you said also seem to be impressive good neighborhoods for Sodermalm and Vasastan. I just saw some of that on google maps and Vasastan looks very wealthy, peaceful, clean, nice architecture, and some cool stores.

Some people might be surprised that some American cities and areas of USA such as Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco are very successful, friendly, popular places for all kinds of Independent Stores Businesses.
Some neighborhoods in these 3 cities from what I remember even have urban planning, sociological, economic laws that promotes this kind of successful activity for Independent stores and passionately discouraging chain stores. Plenty of people that live in those cities support and encourage this.
That is so ironic since USA is to blame for some of those chain stores originating and a lot of USA does continue having too much chain stores.
The great thing about Vasastan is that it is absolutely quiet just one or two blocks away from the major streets. Specially the western part almost has a small town feel.

Cooperative and Condominium
Streamlined Sale of Common Space to Shareholders
On January 26, the New York State Attorney General's Real Estate Finance Bureau announced new standards that will streamline the allocation of stock to, and the sale of, cooperative common areas, such as hallways, servants' rooms and storage lockers, to existing shareholders. Previously, the Attorney General had taken the position that such sales required the issuance of "no action letters" by its office in order to comply with New York State's securities laws. This position has now been abandoned. In the future, cooperatives may allocate stock to common areas and sell the stock to existing shareholders without involving the Attorney General.
Cooperatives should nonetheless keep in mind a number of issues in connection with any such sales, including:
The cooperative must verify that its certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of enough "extra" shares to complete the transaction. If enough shares are not available, it must amend its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized shares, which will require shareholder approval.
A determination must be made as to the number of new shares to be allocated to the space in question. In order to maintain the cooperative's compliance with Section 216 of the Internal Revenue Code (which allows shareholders to qualify for homeowner tax deductions), the allocated shares must bear a "reasonable relationship" to the area's proportionate share of the entire building. A reasonable relationship determination may be made by the cooperative's managing agent or an appraiser.
The board must determine the sale price for the shares. It may, but is not required to, obtain an appraisal to guide its determination of the market value.
Once the number and price of the shares have been determined, the cooperative must enter into a written agreement for the shareholder to purchase the shares and, if applicable, to incorporate the area into his or her apartment. (Issues concerning the related construction are normally left to a separate alteration agreement.)
In general, at the closing of the sale agreement, the new shares must be combined with the shareholder's existing shares, and the shareholder's proprietary lease must be amended to add the new space. A separate share certificate and separate proprietary lease for the common area may not be issued unless the space could independently constitute a legal apartment. If a new share certificate and proprietary lease are to be issued, and the shareholder's shares and lease are presently pledged to a bank as collateral for a cooperative loan, the shareholder will also need to obtain the bank's approval for the transaction.
The closing of the sale is similar to any cooperative apartment sale and is subject to the New York City and New York State transfer taxes. Most cooperatives require the purchaser to pay those taxes on the cooperative's behalf.
Please note that this new position by the Attorney General applies only to the sale of space to existing shareholders. For example, a cooperative's allocation of stock to a space such as a doctor's office and the offer of that space to outsiders will still require the issuance of a no action letter.
The sale of common area in a condominium is virtually unheard of because it would change the common interest percentage of all unit owners which would result in a number of complications, including an amendment to the declaration and floor plans filed with the City. As a result, most condominiums simply enter into a license agreement with a unit owner whereby the unit owner licenses the right to use the common area for a license fee, and the license is then assigned to subsequent unit owners.
If you have any questions concerning the sale of common area, please call us.
This memorandum was initially issued by the cooperative/condominium practice group of Balber Pickard Maldonado & Van Der Tuin, PC which joined Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP on February 1, 2017 and now practices as part of SGR's cooperative/condominium practice group.

Yuhu Group Australia is pleased to confirm an exciting new two-year commercial sponsorship partnership with AFL powerhouse the Sydney Swans.
The Sydney Swans have been among the AFL's most successful franchises over the past two decades having won premierships in 2005 and 2012 as well as being runners-up in 2006, 2014 and 2016.
As part of the sponsorship, Yuhu Group will receive naming rights to the Paul Kelly Cup, which is celebrating its 21st year in 2018. It sees more than 15,000 young footballers from across NSW participating in a knock-out style tournament, with the final 18 teams competing for the cup on the SCG in August.
Yuhu Group Australia chairman Xiangmo Huang said as someone with a keen interest in sport he was delighted to enter a partnership with a club as well-known and successful as the Sydney Swans.
"They have a great brand nationally and as a company that is committed to building better communities, Yuhu Group is also extremely supportive of what the Swans are doing at the grass-root level to give young people the opportunity to enjoy playing football," he said.
In a separate partnership, Yuhu Group Australia will also proudly sponsor the Northern Suburbs Rugby Football Club during season 2018. 'Norths' compete in Sydney's Shute Shield competition, the leading premier club competition in NSW, if not Australia. The club has four grade teams, three colts' teams as well as men's and women's 7s teams.
Yuhu Group Australia director Jimmy Huang said as a company based in North Sydney it was great to be supporting 'Norths', given the positive contribution they make to the local community.
"Rugby is a sport with a strong local following among families and much of that can be attributed to the success of 'Norths' which has a long and proud history of positive involvement with the game," he said.
The club was formed in 1900 and has won seven first grade premierships and produced 42 Wallaby representatives.


Discussion in 'Laos Road Trip Reports' started by eldon, Mar 11, 2004.
I have a month to tour around SE Asia. I was wondering would it be at all possible to rent a bike in Vientiane and drop it off in Bangkok (my flights out of Bangkok) or should I just change my flight and rent a bike in Thailand?
I would be willing to buy a bike if I could be sure of selling it close to its original value, and with just a month for traveling I don't want to get bogged down trying to sell it.

San Diego, CA, March 17, 2017 -- Pamela Cosman, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, has been named a UC San Diego 2016 Diversity Champion.
Cosman specializes in data compression and image/video processing and is a Fellow of the IEEE, among many other professional accomplishments. She served as the Jacobs School's Associate Dean for Students from September 2013 to December 2016.
As Associate Dean for Students, through her work as Faculty Equity Adviser for the Jacobs School, and in many other capacities, Cosman has made a wide variety of significant contributions to diversity, equity and inclusion for both engineering faculty and students. Her work has led to positive change within her home department of electrical engineering, throughout the Jacobs School of Engineering, and across UC San Diego.
Pamela Cosman, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, has been named a UC San Diego 2016 Diversity Champion.
As Faculty Equity Adviser for the Jacobs School of Engineering, which Cosman has done for the last five years, Cosman trains faculty search committees to ensure that all candidates are considered equally. This involves introducing search committees to a variety of topics, including the academic literature on implicit bias, studies on biases in hiring and in teaching evaluations, as well as the pros and cons of various kinds of evaluation systems. With Cosman as Faculty Equity Adviser, the Jacobs School has made significant strides in diversifying the faculty. Thirteen women, as well as two men from traditionally underrepresented minorities in engineering, are among the 47 professors hired into the Jacobs School faculty over the last three years.
Cosman's work to diversify the Jacobs School faculty goes well beyond her role on as a Faculty Equity Adviser. She is the Principal Investigator on an approximately $500,000 award from the State of California to advance faculty diversity at the Jacobs School. Her winning proposal includes approaches for diversifying the applicant pool, using rubrics to increase fairness in applicant review, and creating a diversity cohort.
Cosman also serves as Co-Director of the UC San Diego Center for Research on Gender in STEMM (CRG-STEMM). The center was established by a Frontiers of Innovation grant in 2015 to study gender in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Medicine. Through CRG-STEMM, Cosman has been conducting research on patterns of questions and interruptions during academic job talks.
As Associate Dean for Students, Cosman has worked closely with the IDEA Engineering Student Center and many others at the Jacobs School to expand access to engineering to low-income students, women, and other groups that are traditionally under-represented in engineering.
Cosman, for example, is the Principal Investigator on an $800,000 grant from the National Science Foundation that will support diversifying the engineering student body at the Jacobs School. The award is enabling the Jacobs School's IDEA Engineering Student Center to implement a new scholarship program aimed at increasing the academic success of low-income (PELL-eligible) engineering students at UC San Diego. The award is part of a nationwide Redshirt in Engineering Consortium.
Cosman serves on a campus steering committee that helped secure a $1M grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for scholarships and mentoring for incoming under-represented students designated as Sloan Scholars. As part of this committee, Cosman played a key role in UC San Diego's successful efforts to be designated a University Center for Exemplary Mentoring (UCEM) in the Minority Ph.D. Program of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Cosman's work to diversify faculty and student populations at the Jacobs School and beyond spans many types of activities, including grant writing, academic research scholarship, faculty recruitment and mentoring, and thought leadership on diversity, equity and access issues in STEM. But her work doesn't stop there. Cosman, for example, also mentors several of the under-represented engineering students who are scholars in the Sloan Foundation mentoring program for minority Ph.D. students. In addition, Cosman serves as a dedicated and effective role model and mentor for other students as well as student groups.
Cosman frequently participates in panels and presentations in support of student groups within engineering. She also makes time to attend events and conferences, and to activate her professional networks, in order to help diversify the applicant pools for Jacobs School faculty and postdoc positions, as well as graduate and undergraduate student opportunities. In addition, Cosman organizes a quarterly lunch for all women faculty in the Jacobs School with Dean Albert P. Pisano.
Her efforts are generating results at all levels of campus. In her home department of electrical engineering, for example, a group of female faculty – now that there is a critical mass – recently launched a peer group for women graduate students and postdocs in electrical engineering.
Cosman is also reaching out to young people through a novel she wrote that brings the technical topic of error-correction coding to life. Read some of the backstory on the novel, The Secret Code Menace.

Q: Divide long TextView into small parts and make a cardview around these parts | Android I have a question: Is it possible to divide a very long text, which the app gets from the Internet in a Json-data, into small parts of the text? Then these parts should be shown in single cardviews.

                }
            }

    );

    requestQueue.add(jsonObjectRequest);

    ;

Now the TextView should be divided into small parts. In every part should be the Strings a, b, c and d. And around these small parts should be a cardview.

A: One attempt would be :
Break the text parts with something unique like , and then you can use
StringTokenizer tokens = new StringTokenizer(comma_string_here, ",");
String first_text = tokens.nextToken();
String second_text = tokens.nextToken();

You can loop through and set background as you desire for those text.

A: you can split text based on any special character or space if you provide me sample data, so I can give you proper solutions.

A: First let me say I think there must be a better approach to do what you want to do, but if you want to really cut a string in pieces to show it different cardviews, another way of doing it is to cut it based on a fixed number of characters.
This function will take the text and the fixed limit. And it will return an array. In the first position it will have the thext that has been cut out and in the second position the remaining text.
The cut part may fall in the middle of a word. If you don't want that, you can add some more logic using rtn[0].lastIndexOf(" ") to search for the last blank space and adjust the results accordingly.
public static String[] limitToNChars(String text, int limit){
    String rtn[] = new String[2];
    if(text.length() <= limit){
        rtn[0] = text;
        rtn[1] = "";
    }else{
        rtn[0] = text.substring(0,limit);
        rtn[1] = text.substring(limit);
    }
    return rtn;
}

You can call this function in a loop pasing the result's second position as the first parameter of the function until the second position is an empty string to get all the substrings from the initial string.


My son, Ralph, is going away soon — and I'm having a hard time coming to terms with it.
You see, Ralph has long been preparing for his first job as part of the cabin crew of an airline company. For those who aren't aware, he applied for the job last year when we heard that this airline company was hiring in Manila.
For those curious, the airline company's headquarters where my son will be training and working at is located in Malaysia. This is where our son would be based for two (2) years once he starts his job.


It's the best iPad I've ever held and therefore the best tablet I've ever held. It feels perfectly balanced, both in size and weight. It's solid but not heavy and the screen is a perfect size and aspect ratio.
But, that screen's terrible for displaying text. Really terrible, especially at small sizes. Don't take my word for it, the footer on Apple's website says it all.
Their store's full of tiny text too.
And Lord help you if you want to read what you're asking them to engrave on the back of one of these things.
The iPad mini has the same number of pixels as the 1st generation iPad and the (still available) iPad 2, although it packs them in tighter into its smaller size. Oddly, this makes the rendering of text worse to my eyes.
In an ideal world, I'd use a CSS Media Query to bump small text sizes up a notch or two, perhaps making 14px the minimum instead of 12px. Trouble is, there's no Media Query that can tell these iPads apart (the resolution query isn't supported by Safari). That means that from now on I'll serve larger text to all 1x iPads.
If you're not already doing it, evaluating type on devices during design is essential. Me, I use versions of my type testing sheets. Here are the defaults.
And they're on on Github too. Open them on your devices and squint until you can read.


Block #7 for Heather W.
Ok, so that is not all… Heather is dedicated to saving and loving animals. Anytime she sees a dog that is in trouble or needs a warm place to sleep she goes out of her way to rescue them and bring them to safety.
I often hear people say "Well… you can't pick your parents…" And neither can they. These innocent creatures are pure love and would do anything to please their parents (owners) but are often neglected or mistreated.
This block was made out of a reaction to a post she made on Facebook that brought me to tears. She told of how a dog was stuck on a busy roadway and so many people were out there trying to help it get to safety; everyone except the owners. It was scared and ran into the path of a car. All of these people were trying the help and the driver that eventually hit the dog broke down in tears. Heather stayed with the dog comforting it until it passed.
This is a sad story, I know, and up until now I have kept it light on these posts. After I got over the sadness of the post I was amazed by the incredible people that were trying to save a dog they didn't even know. There are still good people in the world and that is encouraging.

The past haunts us all..
By Dean F. HardyPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 16 min read
First there was the smell. Thick and heavy, it invaded her senses and penetrated her airways and swept down her throat and festered like a feeding maggot in the pit of her stomach.
She opened her eyes and then there was the dark. A wall of black nothingness, final and without compromise. She felt her chest tighten as fear smothered her heart. She struggled to find air in the hot stench and retched from the taste of ammonia saturating her tongue. She convulsed and felt the friction of skin and rope, around her wrists and ankles.
Reality descended upon her, she was bound and blindfolded.
She tried to find her voice, but it was engulfed by the panic that seized her mind and spirit. She squirmed like an animal trapped in the jaws of a predator. She became aware of the harsh springs protruding through a thin layer of mattress, into the bare skin of her back.
Her thoughts gushed forward from the depths, crashing through the frenzied fear of her psyche. They emanated a high pitched, sonic squeal that drowned out external sound, leaving her incapacitated as she grasped at air and kicked aimlessly from her knotted hands and feet.
Water had built up beneath the damp material that covered her eyes and she realised she was crying. Each passing moment was accompanied with a fresh wave of the oppressive odour that conjured images of a rotting corpse decomposing close by.
She concentrated on her breathing, attempting to slow her heart rate and gather her thoughts. She sucked in deep disgusting breaths, each inhale triggering her gag reflex and sending her stomach into a state of flux.
Another desperate sob and strained struggle against the ropes ripping at her skin. Stop, she thought, just stop. She lay still for the first time. Her chest released some tension as her heart began to steady and her thoughts began to slow.
Your eyes don't work, your nose don't work, she thought. You're tied to a bed, you can't use your hands or feet...
Instinctively, all focus was directed to her ears. She did nothing, but listen… There was silence, interrupted only by the drumming of her heart. She tried again, to manage her heart rate. To hold down long inhales of the rotten meat smell and absorb what oxygen was to be found in the grotesque stink. The drumming receded into a low thud. She lay there and listened, to what she thought was the creaking of wood.
She waited. The sound came again. The low drawn out creaking of timber that reminded her of when her father would take her fishing for bluegills in the Summer, when she was just a girl. He would take her out on the bayou in his old swamp rat and they would fish for hours, listening to the sound of the swamp and barely say a word until one of them had got a bite. The canoe was so busted and rotten that it would creak and moan as it drifted down the murky waters, breaking the quiet hum of the dragonflies and the rhythmic chirping of the crickets.
She focused her ears again and listened. She just about made out the faint singing of birds in the distance and finally, the light splash of water. The kind of sound the water makes when a catfish surfaces to snag a flea. She was on the bayou.
The wheels of her mind began to spin once again, as she wrestled with her most recent memories to figure out why she was here. Her mind was a haze of confusion. Hot tears streamed down her cheeks and pooled at the back of her neck. The sensation of death creeped deep into her consciousness. Her sobs rattled through her now in desperate agonising shrieks and the eery silence of the swamp was cracked open with her cries for help.
Adelaide Harris was bound and blindfolded.
Sheriff Colt Lawson sat watching the Thibodaux Police Station from the driver's seat of his beat-up Plymouth Fury. His mouth felt dry and dusty from the morning's hangover. The sun hung low in the cool autumn sky and the glare from the station's windows made him uneasy, as if being watched from an unseen power.
He sighed and tossed a handful of aspirin in his mouth and chewed them down. He reached for his Sheriff's hat, dusted it off and placed it at an angle on his balding head, just enough to shield his eyes. With another laborious sigh, he heaved his heavy frame from the vehicle and headed toward the station. His walk was surprisingly graceful for such a large man, and gave the impression that he was once an athlete.
Inside he greeted his staff with the tip of his hat. His two deputies barely acknowledged him and sat discussing the previous night's football game, swinging back on their desk chairs like a couple of innocent high schoolers. He grunted to himself and made his way to his office toward the back of the small station. They ignored his passing, knowing full well to never bother him before his morning coffee.
He approached his office and watched his long-time secretary Marlene Poirier, follow his every step with her fiery eyes from behind her typewriter. Marlene had been the secretary of the former Sheriff of Thibodaux and stayed on at Lawson's request. Her wisdom and kindness were a priceless commodity to him and her influence in the black community - especially her role in the Church - was half the reason Lawson became the elected protector of Thibodaux at a time of furious unrest and distrust across the racial divide of the deep south.
"Mornin' Marlene," the Sheriff drawled.
"Ya' look like shit, Colt," she said. She had bugged him for months about a new typewriter until finally he had used some of his own money along with the dwindling State budget, to purchase the new machine she now sat over. Each obnoxious ding! reminded him that the blasted machine cost about as much as his rusted Plymouth parked outside.
"I believe the words you're lookin' for is, 'You look like shit, Sheriff'. Now, bring me a fresh cuppa Joe will ya ? And tell them two knuckleheads to get the fuck outta here and do some god damn police work," he didn't wait for a response, but he felt her grin as he passed through the dark wooded door frame and slammed the door behind him for effect.
He fell back into his desk chair and watched with childish delight as the hunched skeleton like frame of the old woman, shuffled over to the two young deputies and shooed them from the station like they were nothing but a couple of pesky racoons tossing around in the trash.
He let out a low chuckle and felt some of the morning blues lift from him.
"Crazy ol' biddy," he smiled.
Lawson looked around the old office and felt the weight of lost time hang in the smoke stained room. The eyes of those who had come and gone returned his stare from the frames in which they now hung. The faces of former Sheriff's who had long since past into the next life. The almost unrecognisable face of the youthful Marlene, her tight African-American curls piled high above her radiant smile. Her eyes as fiery then as they were now. Full of life and warmth.
He found his eyes linger on another image, a younger man with an eager innocence in his blue eyes. A slim chiselled face with a strong chin and powerful shoulders. It was Colt Lawson a lifetime ago.
His eyes glanced over the image of his family, laughing and smiling, an image frozen in time at a moment of authenticity that one rarely finds in a photograph. That image was kept on his desk and served as his biggest reminder of who he once was, who he could have been and who he failed to be. A reminder of what he now was, a lonely drunk. A walking cliché of the aging, stoic cop that young boys cheered for in the matinee's downtown. Only this was real life, a life wasted. He sighed and shut his eyes from the image. Lost time, he thought.
"Marlene, where's that cuppa joe ?" he hollered in his low southern drawl.
"Keep ya damn pants on, I'm comin'!" she shuffled into the room holding a steaming cup. "It ain't my fault you hit the bottle las' night now is it ?"
"Don't do that Marlene, ya' know I hate when you end your sentences with a question," he said reaching for the hot cup.
Marlene sat down in one of the two chairs facing his desk and watched him sip at his coffee. The Sheriff avoided her stone-like gaze. Her dark chestnut coloured eyes had sunk into her wrinkled face with age, but they remained sharp and alert. She used them now, scanning the Sheriff's unshaven, disheveled appearance.
Since Tonya and the kids had left, he had gained what looked to be thirty pounds. His shoulders had begun to slouch with his added weight and sense of defeat. His drinking had gone from bad to worse and his police work had faltered and come to a stuttering standstill. As a result, crime had steadily risen in sharp parallel to Lawson's steep decline.
She remembered him as a young and handsome deputy, smart and cunning, it wasn't before long that he had gained the trust of the town, even the black folk – with Marlene's backing – had put faith in Colt Lawson to usher in the much needed change for the small town buried in the deep South, stifled and crippled by it's haunted past and ignorant present.
What faced her now was not the physical embodiment of change that she and many others believed and prayed for. No. What faced her now was a hollow shell not worth the time and sympathy of a woman her age, but she knew in her heart that Colt Lawson was a good man, an honest man and she was painfully aware that she was one of the last things he had left in this World.
The silence stretched on between them until finally, she spoke.
"Where's that plug-in razor I got ya for Christmas las' year?"
"I traded it in," he replied as he lit a cigarette, still refusing to meet her glare.
"Traded it in? For what?" she demanded.
He met her gaze and cracked a small smile, "For that typewriter out yonder," he joked. His smile quickly receded as his attempt to break the building tension was swallowed by the quiet fury radiating from the stone like figure across from him.
"How dare you, Lawson," she whispered.
Rarely did she ever address him by his last name. The sun peeking through the blinds drifted behind some clouds and the lighting of the room suddenly matched its stifling atmosphere.
"Marlene, it was just a joke alright, jeez I still have the blasted razo…" she cut him off.
"This is not about some fuckin' razor Colt!" she boomed. "This is about the people of this town, the people you promised and swore to protect," her voice tremored with a righteous anger. The sun re-emerged from behind the clouds and reflected off the tears swelling into Marlene's eyes and then he watched her fight them back, too proud and dignified to omit weakness after the hardship she endured her entire life. Born into poverty and battled her way as a black woman through the movements that enabled her to be in the position she now found herself. With a voice.
"Marlene, I.."
"Don't you 'Marlene' me. I've watched you now for eighteen months float in n'outta here like a useless bum, either too drunk or too hungover or too fuckin' dumb to fulfil your damn responsibilities, to help people. To help yourself!" he flinched as her words dug into him like daggers. He was ashamed. He found his eyes move to the picture on his desk and she continued.
"Fine, Tonya and the girls are gone an' God knows it's been hell for ya Colt," her tone softened and took on a maternal quality.
"But that does not mean you get to just lay down and give up. You're better than that and so is the people of this here town," she rose and watched his head hung low in shame like a bold child caught in some act of mischief. Tiny droplets appeared on the desk beneath his face. "I'll make you a fresh cup," she said.
He sat there a moment as Marlene exited his office. He re-lit his cigarette. Wounded and humiliated at his failures to live up to the responsibilities bestowed upon him as a father, a husband and the elected protector of the people of his town.
The humiliation grew deeper at his compulsive yearning for a drink that emerged deep within him and would claw away at him, until that compulsion was satisfied. A type of self-loathing humiliation that only other addicts truly understood. He reached for the flask hidden away in his desk drawer as the craving overwhelmed him. He unscrewed the cap and rose the flask high until the crying out of his name, stopped him in his tracks and snapped him out of his chair in that graceful movement that contradicted his bloated appearance.
A distraught woman staggered through the station sobbing and screeching his name, nude and bleeding, she collapsed in his arms and lost consciousness as Lawson yelled for Marlene to call his deputies and meet him at the hospital.
Two weeks had passed since Alabama Sinclair had crashed into the life of Sheriff Colt Lawson that day in the station and it had been three days since young Alabama had succumbed to her wounds and passed away.
For days Alabama had come in and out of consciousness, screaming in terror at the scarred memories that haunted her in and out of her sleep. On the days she seemed able, Lawson had asked her questions that might help him catch the son of a bitch that had ultimately killed her.
He kept the questions basic at first, aware of her trauma he asked her to speak at her own time of what she remembered. It wasn't much at first. She had been given injections, that the doctor later reported to be small doses of heroin.
Drugged and dumbed down, her memories were blurred and choppy. The doctors complained that it wasn't right to be asking her to relive such experiences while she fought for her life. But Alabama, god rest her, was determined to bring the man to justice.
She told the Sheriff snippets over the days she could speak with a clear mind. She recalled being blindfolded and hearing sounds of the bayou at night. She spoke of the smell of decay and the noise of her killer moving on hollow creaking wood. A cabin perhaps. It was enough to work with.
Alabama had been missing for over a month when she arrived in the station that day. The Sheriff had been lazy in his search for her, determining that Alabama like so many Southern girls in the 70's had taken off to California to be a movie star. Despite her mother's appeals that she would never just take off without saying goodbye or leaving so much as a letter. Lawson had heard this and thought of how his own family had up and left him without either one of those things and remembered a horrible drunken thought that passed through him at the time, 'that people were cruel, that way'.
He shuddered at the thought now, as he floored his Plymouth Fury out past the Route 80 byway, into Bayou Country. He had failed Alabama Sinclair, the same way he had been failing those close to him for years.
On the last day they spoke, before Alabama passed into a coma, she had told Lawson how she was never raped or sexually assaulted. Only cut at random intervals, the wounds treated by the killer, only to be reopened again after several days of healing. Why would he reopen the wounds ? he wondered.
He fed her and rarely spoke. When he did, he spoke of justice. He spoke of how he hoped when he released her that justice would finally be done. She never understood and just pleaded constantly that he spare her.
Finally, as Alabama grew tired that day in the hospital, she gave Lawson the final piece of information that shook his very soul. Her captor had called her Adelaide.
(15 years earlier)
Adelaide Harris listened to the sounds of the Bayou and cried herself into exhaustion as she lay nude and bound on the filthy mattress in the abandoned cabin.
For hours it seemed that she would be left there to die, scared and alone. Until she heard the laughter of drunken men and the sounds of hard boots on the cabin floor.
"Adelaide, this is the Police can you hear us ?"
"I'm here," she cried, "Please I'm here!"
The door had burst open and the gleeful almost mocking laughter of the men entering the room had made her insides freeze over. Her blindfold was finally removed, and the three drunken faces that looked down at her were indeed the familiar faces of her towns police force. She wept and gasped for help that was drowned out by the drunken laughter of the men. They spat racial slurs and like the beasts they were, discussed the order of which they would go. They returned her to the dark.
Bound and blindfolded. They were the last people to ever see Adelaide Harris alive again.
Sheriff Colt Lawson entered the old cabin of where Adelaide Harris had been raped and murdered by the members of the police all them years ago and where Alabama Sinclair too had met her faith. He entered the cabin and held his gun aloft and flinched away from the smell that seemed to linger on the damp wood.
When he entered the room where the two girls had met their fate. He found the hanging body of a man, known as Jessie Parker. Remembered in the town as the boyfriend of young Adelaide Harris. On his torso there was a single piece of paper taped to his sweater.
It read, 'What is Justice?'

I'd never felt particularly worthy of anything, but I had always aspired to be more. I'd never had a lot going for me, and I guess that it would have been safer, much safer, had it stayed that way. I just felt like I deserved more, ya know?

The Legend of the Loch Ness Monster
The Legend of the Loch Ness Monster: The Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, is a creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in Scotland. The legend of Nessie dates back to the 6th century, when Irish monk Saint Columba is said to have encountered a "water beast" in the loch. However, the modern legend of Nessie began in 1933 with a report of a sighting by a local couple. Since then, there have been numerous reported sightings and alleged photographic evidence of the creature.

Q: Unable to boot simulator xcode 7.3.1 / OS 10.11.6 I know similar questions have been asked many times.
My xcode projects ran fine on the simulator. Ive started a new project today and the first time I tried running it I get the black screen and 'unable to boot simulator error'.. and I have to force quit xcode. Now all my projects are getting the same error??? They were working fine before.. I have not updated anything either? Whats the problem?
Thank you

A: After many failed attempts at fixing the problem I ended up updating the OS from El Capitan to Sierra and I completely uninstalled Xcode and reinstalled a fresh version (from 7.3 to 8). The problem is now gone. I am assuming there was some kind corruption in Xcode as I cant figure how else this specific issue would occur.


Finally, we can turn a page on the calender and welcome March and with it comes the hope of spring. It's that time of year when the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has opened their doors to another fabulous season of theater.
We recently saw the play, "The Taming of the Shrew" and we loved it! It's rare to find something unlikeable about any production of OSF. Sometimes a little detail here or there doesn't quite work for an audience member and occasionally a topic just doesn't jive with someone's moral compass, but isn't that what great theater is all about?! I think though, anyone would be hard-pressed to find fault with, "The Taming of the Shrew" and our guests are in agreement, it's just too much fun. Set in Padua, Italy, but with a twist as the stage setting is that of a beach boardwalk and you know what, it works! It's the classic story of a father who won't allow his beautiful young daughter, Bianca (Royer Bockus), to marry before her older sister, Kate (Nell Geisslinger), is married. What's a father to do? Hilarity ensues as Petruchio (Ted Deasy) weds Kate and then sets to taming her, while three suitors try to win the hand of Bianca. The acting is wonderful, the comedic timing is spot on and the music is upbeat. When the last word was spoken the audience was on their feet with a resounding standing ovation... an early indicator of a sure-fire hit for the season! Directed by David Ivers, the play has a running time of 2 hours - 15 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.
What's that you say? Theater isn't your thing, or you'd like to visit Ashland for several days but you don't want to spend all of your time in a theater? Absolutely no worries! There is SO much to do and see in the beautiful Rogue Valley and we've taken the work out of planning your vacation. Visit our website's newly-revised activities page where we've done all of the planning for you. We've provided you with a list of planned day trip itineraries; everything from white water rafting to visiting Crater Lake National Park to wine, cheese and chocolate tasting. We have the best in dining and boutique shopping and we have the most beautiful 93-acre park, right here in Ashland, just a 10-minute walk from Abigails.
So, pull out that calendar, put in your time-off request from work and/or your daily life and come to Ashland in 2013!

Spy Shots—'20 Acura MDX Type-S Mule Breaks Cover
These shots are what is believed to be an Acura MDX Type-S mule.
Sources state that Acura will bring back the Type-S performance derivative, which was first seen on the '08 Acura TL and will eventually be rolled out to all core Acura models, including MDX. It's said to feature an all-new Acura-exclusive turbocharged V6 tied to the second-generation Super Handling AWD system. The Type-S will bring a performance-tuned chassis, beefier brakes, performance tires and sportier interior and exterior styling.
The Acura MDX rides on a six-year lifecycle, which would put the next MDX as a '20 model year. Expect major updates to the core existing architecture.
If things come to fruition, expect an official debut sometime in late 2019.

Nicole Chung
All You Can Ever Know
(Catapult, 2018)
In a memoir about her transracial adoption, Nicole Chung tells the story of growing up as the only person of color in a white family and her search for some sense of understanding of her past. Her parents abided by a somewhat color-blind system, their daughter's Korean background never being an issue. However, this doesn't stop Chung from feeling like an outsider in her community and her family. She describes instances of being bullied in elementary school and an inability to connect with both the Asian community as well as the white one.
Chung describes a moment later in life, when a couple looking to adopt asks her what it had been like to grow up the Korean child of white parents. Chung writes, "I didn't want to tell them that I had minded not being white every day for years on end. That sometimes it still bothered me, because while I had finally found another life for myself, my story was still not quite what others expected when they saw me." Though she is Korean, Chung describes growing up and feeling more white than Asian, adding, "sometimes, it was shocking to catch a glimpse of my face in the mirror and be forced to catalog the hated differences." Chung's memoir provides insight into life as a transracial adoptee, an experience that is not often talked about.
Chung tells an important story, exploring notions of identity and race and the complicated nature of both. As the memoir progresses, she describes her search for her birth parents—a search that coincides with the birth of her own daughter, out of a desire to learn about her roots before raising a child of her own. Eventually, Chung connects with her biological sister Cindy and learns of Cindy's painful and abusive childhood, a childhood that Chung herself seems to have escaped. Suddenly, her feelings of abandonment and her own sense of identity become more complicated.
"The hopes I'd once harbored about talking with my birth mother, getting to know her—even the simple vision of us meeting face-to-face, embracing as parent and child—seemed so foolish now . . . I would never again be able to think of her as someone I had been meant to stay with," writes Chung. Up to this point in the memoir, Chung wonders what life would have been like had her birth parents decided to keep her. Would she, for instance, have felt a deeper sense of belonging? However, when she learns of the abuse her biological sisters faced at the hands of her birth mother, that idea of belonging becomes even more unclear. Chung parses through these multifarious emotions and ideas with clarity and grace, I found myself captivated and moved by her writing throughout.
Chung's memoir is deeply emotional from the very start. Her search for family and belonging raises important questions about identity and what constitutes family. In one heartbreaking scene, Chung recalls a phone conversation with her mother, shortly after discovering the abusive nature of her birth mother. Pregnant with her first child at the time, Chung asks, "What if there's—I don't know, a child abuse gene, and she passed it on to me and I hurt my baby?" At that, her mother reassures her that that would never happen, and when Chung asks how she knows, her mother responds, "Because I have known you your whole life . . . Because I'm your mother." In this moment, Chung reminds the reader that though she often felt out of place in her own family, the people that raised her are her parents.
Chung's memoir sheds light on the complexities of family and the search for identity. She illuminates the difficulties of being a transracial adoptee and feeling out of place in the only family you know. Chung's memoir is an important one for a number of reasons, but more than anything, her writing is poignant and emotionally compelling throughout.
