After renting a car at the Brussels airport and spending the night in Bologne-sur-Mer, I set out very early to drive to my first destination of the day, Le Moulin de Verval, the highest point in the Pas de Calais department. I arrived in the small hamlet of Le Verval at about 5:15 and quickly found the point marked in the peakbagger.com map a few minutes later about 1 km outside of town. At 211m it is not really a peak or other notable summit, no, actually there is not even a bump of anything indicating the highpoint. The departments highest elevation is simply the highest point on a plateau, along a dirt road. None of the points in the nearby fields or pastures looked higher, and after walking back and forth a few times to make sure that I had really "been there", I was satisfied and got back in the car to continue on to my second peak of the day, after taking a picture of the village church and the village sign as additional proof. It says on peakbagger.com that this is probably the highpoint of the French department of Pas-de-Calais but that there several other 211m spot heights in the area. The high point is certainly not Mont Hulin.
Well, this was the second stop of the day (many more to come). It took me about 2hours of driving (much more to come as well) along small departmental roads to arrive at this roundabout at 7.30am. I parked off to the side and due to regular traffic could not cross over the artificial high point in the center of the roundabout right away. I must say that I was also slightly embarrased: Why would anyone go to the center of a roundabout on a fairly busy street, camera in hand and take a bunch of pictures in all directions? A real estate developer, a prospector? Well, I knew the truth and did take a bunch of pictures, but it occurred to me that none of the passing motorists was aware of the significance of the spot where I was standing. No one in the department was "higher" than me (at my 215m), except those in multi-story houses and in airplanes, and maybe someone climbing up a ladder, but no one else. This though really left me sort of 'high" when I walked back to my car in order to continue on to my next high point.
I found out later (again from Peakbagger.com) that this is the true HP of the French department of Somme. It lies 9km S of the previously nominated HP Arguel et Gauville. The spot height is on a roundabout called Carrefour les Quatre Arbres, on the D1015 S of Le Coq Gaulois.
This time it took me only 50 minutes to drive into the next department (Oise) and find its highest peak, which is also known as Mont Pognotte. Near the town of Lalandelle, the departemental road I was driving on (D22) led in a switchbacky fashion up to a pleateau (where the town itself is located) and about 1km before the town I found a parking area on the right hand side with an orientation table. I stopped to check it out and found in the orientation table to be at an elevation of 240m, already 4 meters higher than the supposed highpoint of this county, located another 2 km further east. Hmm, I wondered, why put up an orientation table here? But I the reason must have been the nice vantage point, which was impressive in that it was just on the edge of the plateau and the views were quite nice. I took a few pictures before continuing on the the actual summit (one again trusting peakbagger.com and the information they give). Well, the map I had printed from the website led me onto a smaller road, passed a farm and another 200m beyond the farm to the supposed highpoint. I stopped and found it right next to a steaming pile of manure, which a local farmer was storing in that location to distribute it on a nearby farm as soon as the weather permitted it. Luckily I did not have to climb the manure pile to get to the actual highpoint because there was a little mount of dirt/construction debris grown over by grass that was just a few feet higher than the less inviting choice that I climbed instead (but even this was not very pleasant, because for all the grass I could not see the surface I was climbing on and thus not easily avoid uneven bits of concrete or even the metal spikes sticking out. I should have climbed the nearby telecommunications tower instead, but that one was off limits and I contented myself with the debris pile taking a couple of pictures of my surroundings and hoping that the next peak would be a little bit more interesting, because the first three sure were not.
(an internet search after my return did not tell me whether I had really reached the department's highpoint or not, nor did I figure out anything about the height discrepancy of the orientation table (240m) and the supposed highpoint (236m). To be continued).
Ok, no we are getting there. Here I actually had to walk a bit (well, maybe 100m, but more than before). It took me about 4 hours of driving (also including my power naps, as I was getting tired, a lunch break at McDonalds (mostly for the internet connection) and dismal wheather (I never switched of the windshield wipers) to get to my next destination after passing the cities or Rouen and Caen. Luckily by now the rain was behind me and it was dry (if not nice).
Access to Mont Pinçon was pretty easy. I drove to the highest point of the departmental road D54 south of Aunay-sur-Odon and then turned right onto the dirt road.
I had read about a waymarked trail with numbered signboards that I did not see right away. However, close to the first signboard, where I parked my car because I saw that the open forest to the left was still leading uphill I found the summit was a nice round orientation table not 100m from the dirt road. On my way there I had to pay attention not to get my feet wet as there was still puddles everywhere and not always immediately visible due to the high grass. It was clear that there had been quite some rain not too long ago and I was glad to have spent that time driving. I arrived at the orientation table with dry feet and immediately starting taking pictures. The forest opened up a the south and I managed some nice, almost scenic shots. The orientation map included Mont St-Michel and I was reminded that I was fairly close to the ocean. I was tempted for about 10 seconds to visit France's third (I believe) popular tourist attraction after the Eiffeltower and Versailles or Notre-Dame (or something like that), but the hoards of tourists that I would undoubtedly encounter turned me of. Also, I had different (more important) objectives today, and that thought got me moving again and I quickly returned to the car. I then followed the dirt road a bit further and found more signboards, even though it was not always clear what they were pointing out (there is probably a paper guide available somewhere that explains it all in detail). I saw yet another telecommunication's antenna before coming to a bit opening already on the downhill part of the mountain with a parking area and a fairly large war memorial about 50 meters along the downhill part. The memorial had been placed their by the British and commemorated the 13/18th Royal Hussards (Queen Mary's Own). Apparently it was not some specific battle the memorial was for, but rather the sacrifice made by all Royal Hussards from 1922 and 1992 (when the memorial was put up), but the location must have been significant and sure enough a nearby sign explained that the Battle of Mont Pinçon had taken place here in 1944 (August 5-7) during the battle of Normandy. The sign also explained the exact details of the battle, which made sense at the time, but which I have forgotten now.
All in all this was an interesting visit, so far my longest stop (40min) and it got me in the mood for things to come. Luckily it only too me 25 minutes to drive to the highpoint of the Manche department, called St-Martin-de-Chaulieu and located in the town of (surprise!) St-Martin-de-Chaulieu.
So, this one turned out to be the nicest high point so far today, probably also because the sun had finally come out. It is actually located almost in the center of the village of the same name and marked by a very nice tower. The summit is marked by a signboard proclaiming it's highpoint status, but the actual highpoint (marked by a "borne") is over a gate in the field next to the tower, maybe 20m away and 1m higher. I just hopped the gate and walked to it. The church of St Martin de Chaulieu lies just below the summit, and the rest of the village consists of about 6 houses and the views in all directions were quite nice as this was obviously the real highpoint of the area and all the rich farmland in the surroundings was clearly lower than the tower. At 365 meters this was also the highest point I had been to today.
After visiting the highest point of the Manche department I debated whether to continue west into Brittany, but the hour of the day and the limited time alloted to this adventure made me head east into the "Orne" department, whose border I crossed one hour after leaving St-Martin-de-Chaulieu.
But it was actually the Mayenne department's highest point I would be visiting next and I crossed the border to the Manche about 2 minutes after entering the "Orne" department (whose high point I would also eventually get to, hours later). About 10 minutes as I was approaching the town of Pré-en-Pail I could already make out the view tower a the highest point of the "Massif armoricain", which clearly stretched out in in north-southernly direction along the horizon. Still another 20 minutes later I parked next to and climbed up to the impressive summit tower. The views were quite nice in all directions, even though there were still quite some dark clouds on the sky. With the help of numerous orientation maps on the top of the tower I learned that I was 420 kms from Brussels and about 1070 from Berlin. At 417m I was not only at the highest point of the Mayenne department but also at the highest point of the French region "Pays de la Loire". There are only 22 such regional highpoints and naturally that is another one of my lists to slowly "get done". After having had the top of the tower to myself for 10 minutes a couple of cards pulled in to the parking lot and a couple was the first to join me at the top. I quickly asked them for a picture (they took quite a few) with my camera before the summit would crowd up and I soon went down to my car in order to continue on my own private Tour de France.
I drove passed the town of Alençon in an eastern direction to to the Forêt de Perseigne. This high point of the Sarthe department cannot be missed as similarly to the Mont des Avaloirs there were plenty of signs pointing the way. And thus 40 minutes after leaving the Belvédère des Avaloirs I reached the Belvédère de Perseigne, at 340m substantially lower than its predecessor. I could drive up to within 50m through the forest on the D234. A skinny 30m tower marked the highpoint, but there is actually higher ground just E of the Belvedere (tower) itself, just into the forest. On the latest mapping there is a 340m ring contour. The tower was locked at the time of my visit but it state on a notice that it would be open on weekends and holidays during the summer season. With nothing else to do I thus venture into the area east of the tower, through high ferns in order to find or at least have been to the actual highest spot. But it all looked the same, i.e. a fern cover and I am not sure my foot actually touched that special spot. However, even in the winter with less vegetation I am not sure the actually high point could easily be discerned, as it is just a flat plateau. Anyway, no worries, No 7 in the bag, of to No 8.
Yes, but No 8 turned out to be a bit trickier. I found the roundabout crossing of D26 and D226, about 40 minutes north of Alençon (which I had visited for about half an hour before because it is the partner city of Quakenbrueck, my birthtown in Germany) without much difficulty (there is a memorial there with a tank, which is hard to miss. Apparently the battle of Alençon had taken place somewhere in this area. The roundabout is also called Carrefour de la Croix. Then you turn on a small paved road straight west. There are about 7 roads arriving at the roundabout, but the one you are supposed to take goes straight west and is straight itself for a few kilometers. After about 1km there is an opening in the forst with a little gravely/dirty parking area on the right hand side and a a sign at about "5 o'clock". I knew from Lee Newton's trip report to look for that sign, but because it was sort of in my dead angle, I missed it on my first drive through and went too far. Eventually I drove back and then saw the sign right away. I parked the car and stupidly walked in a northernly direction following the topo map from peakbagger.com. I say stupidly, because if I had paid better attention to the map, I would have seen that I should go south and not north, but the driving and turning around and roundabouts had gotten me confused. Luckily, I realized that I was on the wrong track, as the forest road I was on, went downhill and it seemed impossible to find a high point lower than where I had parked my car. So, I consulted the map again and found the right forest road (a small path really),just opposite the paved road, almost a mirror image of the road I had taken. And sure enough this new path still led uphill very gradually for about 150 meters before I saw the trig, just a few meters on the right hand side in the forest. It could not be missed because a use trail was leading to it and it was clear that quite a few people had visited this place before me. Yippie, I felt elated, took a few pictures, walked around the trig to make sure that I really had really walked on the actual high point and went back to my car.
Well, the rest of the day consisted mainly of a bunch of driving. I stopped for a quick visit to the high point of the "Eure" department. For that I had to drive north from the town of L'Aigle on the D919. About 4km before getting to Glos la Ferrière there is a farm on the right-hand side of the road called (and signposted) Les Bruyerès. Unforunately, the actual high point was located in a wheat field near the farm and I did not want to walk through the wheat. I crossed a ditch, a fence and some thorny brush to stand on the edge of the field, but decided that was far enough. For once, it was not clear if there was a higher point, as the vegetation made it impossible to see such a point. Furthermore, the field was fairly flat and if the actual high point is really 250m then I was at least 249.5m where I stood, if not 250m. The border with the Orne department was very near (and half of the field may have been in it already, and the fact that it was not a summit at all but a slope point since the ground continues to rise over the departmental boundary into Orne made it tricky. So it would be impossible to tell (except with the use of some technical measuring equipment) the exact high point. It should be somewhere about 100m east of the farm, that is behind and slightly left as you look from the road. I thought that where that was good enough and I officially declared myself to be on the high point of the Eure department.
It was also already past 8 pm and I had yet to find a place to sleep. I continued driving north towards Rouen, and while driving made a reservation at a hotel. I told them I would be late, but they promised to keep someone at the desk until about 23h and I was optimistic that I would arrive in time (I eventually got there with only 10 minutes to spare). During my drive north, when it was getting dark, I drove through the town of Bernay, which turned out to be the partner city of Cloppenburg, another city near my hometown in Germany.
After waking up in my hotel in Rouen, from where I had a fine view of the Cathedral, I walked around the city for a while looking for breakfast. I bought some juice and a few pastries that I then consumed in the car on my way out of town to my only high point of the day, at the 247m in the village of Conteville, the highest point in the Seine-Maritime. As is often the case with these "flat" high points (and quite frustratingly so), it was hard to discern the actual highest point. I drove the city streets until what I thought was the highest point and then got out of the car to take a few pictures. Not even a GPS would have helped much, because their margin or error is often higher than the difference from one street to the next in Conteville. I counted it though and added it to my list of "done" high points. 10 in 1.1 days, not bad. On last count I am now done with more than half of the 96 French highpoints, that is 53 to be exact. My next trip should be two the Pyrenees mountain range, because while I have more than 50 percent of the French highpoints in nominal terms, so to speak, I am probably not even at 1/3 yet in terms of elevation.


Today I started work at Jump Studios in London, an exciting cross-disciplinary practice who've done a lot of interesting work. They mainly work on interior spaces and architecture, all with a strong graphic approach.
It was my last day at GTF today after 5 weeks of interning. Thanks very much to Andy, Paul & Huw!
Today I got to help out on a shoot at the studio of still life photographer Matthew Donaldson. He's got a refreshingly simple & down-to-earth attitude about his work, and a stunning portfolio of images. He's also a very, very funny bloke.


Today is the day some thought would never come: the day Telltale's The Walking Dead becomes a complete, finished product with a definitive ending. If you need an explanation why, Telltale Games' adaption of the Walking Dead comic book hasn't had the smoothest development ride — it had to survive no less than the complete destruction of its developer.
The series was one of Telltale's most popular offerings, and the company responded to its popularity by licensing as many properties as they could and making the same game with all of them. Reckless spending, mismanagement, and mistreatment of workers combined to push Telltale over the edge, and it publicly collapsed in September of 2018.
The sudden bankruptcy left all of Telltale's projects in limbo, including The Walking Dead. A skeleton crew was kept around to complete the latest chapter of the final season, but after that, the doors were shuttered. Two chapters away from completion, Telltale's The Walking Dead was involuntarily cancelled.
Fortunately, Skybound Entertainment — Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's production company — stepped in at that point. They brought production of the game in-house and hired back most of the laid-off employees from Telltale's crew. Now the series has literally survived the apocalypse.
You can find the last chapter of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season starting today on Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, XBox One and PC March 26. A physical boxed edition of the Final Season is also available where such things are sold.

Nightwing #15 review
Jay Yaws
There need to be more comics like this, in intent if not content: self-contained, standalone issues. One-and-dones. Arcs are fine every now and then, but it's great to be able to read a smaller story every now and then. I love being able to pick up an issue that pushes the narrative along without having to be read as "part x of y". It's a rare occurrence in superhero books these days, and Nightwing #15 is a bit of a breath of fresh air in that regard.
In broad strokes, this is all about Dick and Shawn's relationship. It takes a sort of "he said/she said" approach, switching between their perspectives to give insight into their courtship. This gives Seeley the opportunity to do what he does best, focusing on character development and dialogue, and there are some true gems here.
I've gone on record many, many, many times saying that Dick and Barbara belong together. That view hasn't changed, and frankly, I don't think it will. Regardless of that preference, I'm also a bit weary of Dick finding a new romantic interest anywhere he goes. Sure, he's handsome, charming, and likable. That's kind of his thing: everyone likes Nightwing. Still, I'd like to see more relationships with females akin to the one that he has with Donna: platonic love and respect that isn't romantic. It would be refreshing to see Dick make a female friend who he doesn't end up making out with ten minutes later. You know, switch it up a bit.
Saying that, I got caught up in what Seeley did here. For the first half of the book or so I was just loving the different interactions Dick and Shawn had with each other and their respective friends and confidants. Wally pops in to have a few beers and talk about girls. Shawn confides in Stallion, who is a nice brotherly support. Even Jason shows up in a scene that didn't end with me wanting to punch him in the face, amazingly enough.
In a good way, this format was a distraction. I mean, it's Wally! And not just in Titans! That's reason enough to recommend the issue right there, just to see these two be best friends again. And look, Starfire! And Giz and Mouse being pretty adorable! How fun!
But then, I noticed something. There's a countdown running through the issue. I dismissed it at first, thinking it was simply there to contextualize the passage of time, but then I realized it was running backwards. Swept up in the interactions, I didn't realize that Seeley was obviously counting down to something.
My first thought was it would be the dissolution of their relationship, and that's partly true. In the span of twenty-odd pages, we're shown events over the course of several months. At one point it does seem like their relationship is over, with an argument over an open window of all things, but it doesn't end there. In two separate scenes, Dick talks to Barbara and Shawn discusses things with her dad. They're both incredibly moving, genuinely heartbreaking conversations, with just as much communication being represented through Jung's artwork as Seeley's words. In the end, Dick and Shawn decide to stick it out.
And then there's that last page.
Two things of note, one more minor than the other. First, Dick tells Bruce and Alfred that he thinks he loves her. I don't doubt that within the story he does, but it still rang a little hollow with me. Some of that may be my insistence on #DickAndBabs4Eva, which I'm not blind to. Really, though, Shawn's not even been in a half-dozen issues yet, so hearing Dick say that he loves her doesn't quite carry the weight it should. I've no doubt there are bigger things at play here and this is just one small part of the story, but as it is it falls a bit flat.
The major thing of note is the final panel. It looks as if Shawn is killed. I like the character just fine, so of course I don't want to see her dispatched, but contextually it reads as a little too obvious. Introducing a love interest only to have them killed off when the hero realizes he loves her? Seeley's more sly than that, so I did some digging. Upcoming solicits state that Professor Pyg has kidnapped "someone Dick loves." Now I don't have any insider information or anything at all, but I'm willing to bet that's Shawn. That makes the ending… well, maybe not easier, as it's still hits pretty hard, but less intense. Factor in the possible guilt factor the "open window" will have on Dick and it's looking like this is part of another long game here.
All of this is presented with the pencils of Minkyu Jung and the colors of the ever reliable Chris Sotomayor. I'm not going to lie, on first pass I thought it was still Marcus To on this issue, that's how similar Jung's style is. It wasn't until I checked the credits to make sure that I realized it wasn't To. That's not an inherently bad thing, as To's style is great, and once I realized it wasn't him Jung's differences stuck out more. This installment is almost completely just characters standing around talking, and even without a big action showcase Jung holds his own. I particularly love the small details and character tics he throws in, like Giz picking his nose and Mouse's slight smile at how dorky he's being. From the slightest touch of a hand to loving embraces, Jung imbues his pencils with an awful lot of heart.
This was a pretty good representation of my feelings toward Nightwing as a whole: strong, solid storytelling with great art and genuine characterizations. It may not be a world-shattering story, but it doesn't need to be. It should be good and entertaining, and this largely fits the bill.
Recommended if:
You like Nightwing.
You want to read more standalone issues.
You want to see Dick get another girlfriend.
#DickAndBabs4Eva. Get it trending.
Overall: A nice little character piece that just makes me wish we could get more one-and-done stories in comics. The characters and dialogue are solid, the art is great, and there's enough here to set up future stories without feeling like a part of an incomplete whole. Were there stylistic choices made that I wouldn't have done? Sure. Is it still evident that Seeley knows how to write Nightwing and his world? Absolutely.

With OPERATION: SAVING DANIEL pretty much what you see is what you get. You can ride right into this story on the wave of contemporary romance and only have to brush up against the paranormal side of it a little bit. If you're new to Covet I think it's a perfect choice to start with if you're more of a contemps reader. The overall plot here is very tropey with the hero essentially being blackmailed into marriage and the heroine being called in as rescuer by his suspicious family.
Alas, as much as I've liked Nina's more scifi romance stuff this one just wasn't my cup of tea. I liked it up to a point but I felt like I had read it before. I realized that some of why it felt familiar is because it draws from the authors' own bio (which is actually a good thing in this case) but I think it was just the overall concept not quite being as paranormal as I'd have liked. Other readers who devour non-category paranormal romances might find it just a little too simple.
While it was a little 'meh' for me I really think this one would appeal to a wide audience of readers. Those who don't frequently dabble into the paranormal shelves should definitely give it a read. It's short and light enough to work for someone who doesn't want meaty world building and too much danger. Daniel and Lissa are quite likable and work really well as a couple so they're very easy to root for. If you like your men educated and suited, Daniel is one classy hero.
Wasn't really for me but I really think I'm in the minority on that. Check out O:SD if you tend to prefer paranormals that don't have involved mythologies to figure out before you get to the romance part.


Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U! I want to apologize for being a little absence from my blog this week, my husband and I are planning a road trip, so I want to make sure I have all the July DT's post and cards ready for you, so I had spent quite a few time at my craft room the last few days.
Today I'm at the Marker POP sharing with you this birthday card using the Lawn Fawn "Party Animal" stamps and dies.
I wanted to make a really soft card that would work for a little girl, since we have a girl's birthday party to go this coming weekend.
I also used some of the new "stitched border dies from Lawn Fawn, they don't make any cut, they just emboss a nice stitched line, and I used some of the new dye inks.
Let me show you this card and I will tell you a little bit more about it.
I kept all the coloring really soft and I placed my critter off to the right side. I also limited my cross stitched border to the left bottom corner. I sometimes like to off set things and I also like to try different placements for my card's elements. It't that little imperfection that sometimes make the hand made cards special, right?
One fun thing about most Lawn Fawn sets is, that they are full of little images that would help you make cute backgrounds. The Party Animal stamp set is not the exception, it has cute little confetti to complement your party scenes. I did all the stamping with Lawn Fawn inks and I color all the images with Copic Markers. For the shading on the right bottom corner I used Peacock Feather Distress ink and kept it really soft.
I hope you'll enjoy this and that you'll try some of these adorable Lawn Fawn products.
The party animals are one of my favorites!!Awesome coloring! Such an adorable birthday card!
Thanks for stopping by and your sweet wishes!
Oh Heidi! This is Awesome!! Love how you have your little part animal holding balloons and you used twine for the strings. Adorable!!
Thanks Shannon, so glad you liked it! Have a wonderful week!
Thanks Theresa, have a great week!

A method of combining Kahnan filtering and minimax filtering is proposed and demonstrated in an application to phase-locked loop design. Kalman filtering suffers from a lack of robustness to departures from the assumed noise statistics. Minimax filtering, however, has the drawback of ignoring the engineer's (admittedly incomplete) knowledge of the noise statistics. It is shown in this paper that hybrid Kalman/minimax filtering can provide the "best of both worlds" . Phase-locked loop filter design is used in this paper to demonstrate an application of hybrid estimation.

Shareholders approve renaming to VEON
Amsterdam (30 March 2017) - VEON announced it has secured shareholder approval to change its name from VimpelCom Ltd. to VEON Ltd. and to amend and restate the company's bye-laws, as a result of the Special General Meeting of Shareholders, which was held in Amsterdam today. From March 31, 2017, the company's American Depositary Shares will trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "VEON."
The company's intention to change its name to VEON, subject to shareholder approval, was announced at Mobile World Congress on 27 February 2017 as part of the company's repositioning from a mobile telecom operator to a global tech player. VEON intends to continue to build on its local brands' strong awareness and focus on maintaining its strong market positions. VEON is the new name of the company and a new personal internet platform that integrates powerful data analytics and artificial intelligence, with a fresh take on messaging capabilities, enabling users and communities to connect by voice, text, picture and video through a beautifully designed interface.
In addition to effecting the renaming, the amendments to the company's bye-laws will improve the efficiency of decision-making at VEON, whilst continuing to ensure there is a proper level of Supervisory Board oversight.
VEON, a NASDAQ-listed global provider of communications services, formerly known as VimpelCom, aspires to lead the personal internet revolution for more than 235 million customers it serves today, and many others in the years to come.

Why do we wish mourners a long life
August 10, 2020 by Rabbi Raymond Apple
Read on for article
Rabbi Raymond Apple
I WISH YOU LONG LIFE
Q. Why does Anglo-Jewish custom include telling a mourner, "I wish you long life"?
A. The implication is that the deceased has died too early and we are telling the survivors, "We pray that you yourselves will have length of days".
The Torah promises a long life as a reward for ethical living (Ex. 20:12, Deut. 5:16, Deut. 22:7, Deut. 25:13-15). If then, someone has not been blessed with long life, we hope there is no implication that they did not merit the reward of a long life.
How we define long life depends on the particular stage of history. The traditional concept is that long life is 120, like Moses who at that age was still hale and hearty and capable of leadership (Deut. 34).
A CHRISTIAN HYMN & THE YIGDAL TUNE
Q. Is it true that there is a Christian hymn that uses the Friday night Yigdal tune?
A. The melody that Ashkenazi congregations use for Yigdal on Friday nights derives from the 17th century if not earlier.
A Wesleyan minister, Thomas Olivers, heard it at the Great Synagogue in London one evening in 1770 and used the tune for his hymn, "The God of Abraham Praise", ascribing it to "Leoni".
Leoni was Myer Lyon, a chazan or chorister at the Great Synagogue (in those days western-style choirs had not entered synagogue worship and the singers were not "choristers" but vocal assistants to the chazan). Lyon, who died in Jamaica about 1800, was a well-known opera singer and managed an opera house in Dublin.
An Anglo-Jewish musicologist, Bertram Benas, wrote that Olivers' hymn "rhythmically fits the Yigdal theme with exactitude", and adds, "A melody with a certain wistful beauty, it has a characteristic Jewish ring".
SIX QUESTIONS AT HEAVEN'S DOOR
Q. Is it true that six questions are asked of everyone when they knock at Heaven's door?
A. What the Talmudic text says (Shabbat 31a/b) is, "When they bring a person to judgment they say to him, Were your dealings honest? Did you devote time to Torah? Did you engage in procreation? Did you look forward to salvation? Did you reason wisely? Did you deduce one thing from another?"
On the day of the final account and reckoning when you want to know, "Do I deserve the heavenly life of the next world?", you will be asked by means of these questions, "Did you aspire towards heaven in this world?
The six things are deduced from the verse (Isa. 33:6), "There shall be 1. faith 2. in your times, 3. strength, 4. salvation, 5. wisdom and 6. knowledge".
They are basic human activities, not necessarily measures of achievement but marks of commitment.
To take two examples, one does not need to become a great scholar but to give time to Torah; one does not have to produce a set number of sons and daughters but to make procreation possible.
In the Talmud, Resh Lakish links each of the six with one of the six sections of the Mishnah:
• "Faith" is "Zera'im", "Seeds": a person's trade or profession must be aspire to be worthy of God.
• "Your times" are "Mo'ed", "Sacred Times": every occasion must be dedicated to the Almighty.
• "Strength" is "Nashim", "Women" (i.e. marriage and divorce): one's personal and family life must bring strength to the family and community.
• "Salvation" is "Nezikin", "Damages" (i.e. civil and criminal law): the law must bring peace and quality to society.
• "Wisdom" is "Kodashim" ("Sacred Things"): the intricate rules of Jewish law require careful study and analysis.
• "Knowledge" is "Tohorot" ("Pure Things"): the standards of pure and impure require attention based on study.
The six are essential for a good Jew, but they all require the additional dimension of piety, "Yirat HaShem".
Rabbi Raymond Apple served for 32 years as the chief minister of the Great Synagogue, Sydney, Australia's oldest and most prestigious congregation. He is now retired and lives in Jerusalem where he answers interesting questions.

Q: Dynamic HTML depending on GET request parameters? Suppose I have a RESTful web server. I would like to load dynamic HTML based on the request.
If the browser sends an HTTP GET request for /user/123, I would like to load an HTML page that is customized for User #123, which I have data on back in my database.
So for example, if User #123 had the name "Foo" in my DB, I would like to render an HTML page saying "Hello, Foo!".
How would I do this? The front-end is AngularJS, and back-end is Scala.
The Scala back-end can retrieve the Name of User #123 front the DB. But I don't know how to send this information back to the browser, since I don't know of a way to embed code in the HTML like you could in PHP.

A: This is a pretty fundamental use case scenario for AngularJS.  You load the variable from the Scala server, formatted as JSON, as the response to an AngularJS GET request.  Then you take the response to that (see docs for Angular $http.get), map it to something in the applicable AngularJS controller's scope, and then interpolate it:
<div ng-controller="whateverController">
  {{ user.name }}
</div>

As for how you generally run a web server in Scala...that's even more vague than the rest of your question.

I worked with a great agency out of New Jersey, "1 Trick Pony", to deliver a custom experience for TCM's annual "31 Days of Oscar" campaign, in 2016. 1 Trick Pony created a great design that made working on the project a fun exercise. Consisting of some 365 movie profiles which I pulled from a JSON file, this site presented films in a on-air schedule format where each film is linked by a common performer.
As part of the project, I also created a game. In the game mode, the user is meant to make as many connections as possible before time runs out. The game was aimed to be a prime viral component, as users shared their scores. Fully responsive and flush with custom animation, the site received rave reviews and significant traffic.


With increased fighting in Aleppo, many internally displaced people are living in warehouses in the western part of the city. MCC church partners continue to provide humanitarian assistance to IDPs through the distribution of food and hygiene baskets.
Today, our hearts turn to the tragedy in Syria, and particularly Aleppo. MCC receives daily pleas from our partners to remember and pray for those whose lives are far from peaceful.
We invite you to stand with brothers and sisters in Syria who know very little calm or peace.
We also ask that you continue to stand with us – long after the Christmas season has ended – as we bear witness to the Prince of Peace through our work with partners in the region.
Not only does MCC engage in humanitarian work in Syria and Iraq, we are also committed to advocacy work with the Canadian and U.S. governments, and with the UN, calling for constructive international engagement and an end to the brutal civil war. This is both a humanitarian and a political crisis, and MCC is committed to pursuing peace through all means possible.

Check Out What Games Are Most Anticipated with the 2021 NWR Hype Meter
Our readers and staff responded with a slam-dunk top game and a lot of surprises.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/55955/check-out-what-games-are-most-anticipated-with-the-2021-nwr-hype-meter
Recently we asked you, the reader, to send in your list of your most anticipated games on Switch. Thankfully, you responded and, along with some staffer votes and funny math, we came up with what we're calling the "Nintendo World Report Hype Number" for a variety of upcoming games.
What follows are a few top lists for different categories according to our asinine system, which gives you the Hype Number, and a percentage based on the highest possible amount of hype that a game could get.
If you're curious at how we gathered the numbers, let me break it down for you. Each list we received ranged from five games to 10, and on those lists each game was given points for their ranking. For example, let's say that The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is at the top of a list of 10 games. That means the Zelda sequel would get 10 points. The second-highest game would get nine points, and the third-highest would get eight, and so on and so forth. If the list was just five games, then Breath of the Wild 2 would get five points.
Using those numbers, we divided them by the most amount of points possible. So let's say the upcoming Zelda was at the top of one person's 10-game list and was fourth on another list. That means, if we were just using those two lists, the next Zelda game would have an NWR Hype Number of 85% (or (10+7)/20, which would be (one list's rank+another list's rank/highest possible rank).
If that doesn't make any sense, then just roll with it for our sake. We essentially are trying to make the goofiest, most needlessly complicated version of Nintendo Power's old Power Polls.

Forgot about MLB The Show potentially going multi-platform! It'd be wild if that comes to Switch but Madden and NHL remain nowhere to be seen. If it does though, I hope it won't impact Super Mega Baseball's sales too much.
Cool to see Disco Elysium in the top three on the indie list. I've also purposefully stayed away from too much information on that game, but it sounds very special.


Are you ready to take photography classes in Gold Beach OR? Whether you are a beginner, hobbyist, or professional, the best approach to improving your photography abilities is through hands-on training with skilled instructors.
Oregon features many accredited and recognized photography schools. Photography classes teach techniques such as digital capture, lighting techniques, exposure, composition, outdoor photography, and many other basic and advanced camera techniques. Becoming an accomplished photographer can result in a lifelong hobby or successful professional career.


I confess that I've been struggling for time these past few months, and as a result my festive crafting hasn't started yet - eeek!
3. Felt Patchwork Table Mats (this wasn't a Christmas tutorial but change the colours and it is!).
5. Upcycled Wreath (this was a post-Christmas reuse your wreath base tutorial but again, add in some more festive colours (if you like) and voila!).
If you head over to the search box on the right and type in "tutorial" you'll find a whole heap of other makes which could easily be made festive (or might give you some gift ideas!).

The problem with most ghost stories is that the spirits usually appear to just one person at a time. So it is always refreshing to hear about something that was seen by many people at once.
This is what happened when a group of carol singers went to the Elizabethan manor called Over Court in 1937. On their way back through the entrance arch, the group of carol singers saw a bright white figure floating above the ground and radiating a bluish glow. It was in full view for about half a minute and so the group could make out its tall pointed head-dress before the figure moved away in a zig-zag manner before disappearing.
Who was this mystery figure? Well, it was supposedly the wife of an owner of Over Court who had had an affair with a local man. Upon finding out about her infidelity the husband shot her, but she was able to scramble away from the house and eventually drowned in the fishpond, and it's from there that she rises on the anniversary of her death, shortly before Christmas. An alternative story says that she committed suicide in the pond.
Over Court was built around 1580 for John Dowel of Bristol in Almondsbury, north of Bristol, and after a devastating fire in 1977, it was demolished in 1980. All that remains are the listed archway, the old coach house and stables, which have now been converted into mews houses.

Home > Reviews > Horror > Two Evil Eyes
February 23rd, 2011 by J. Luis Rivera
Director: George A. Romero and Dario Argento
Writer: George A. Romero, Dario Argento, Franco Ferrini and Peter Koper, based on stories by Edgar Allan Poe
Italian title: Due Occhi Diabolici
Two different movies with two different results
For the vast majority of horror fans, filmmakers Argento, Romero, Carpenter and Craven are very well respected figures in the history of horror cinema, having shaped the genre in the last half of the 20th century. And for many amongst that vast majority of horror fans, the idea of a project involving the four of them is certainly an immensely attractive one.
(small spoilers may follow…)
That is what the Italian master of horror, Dario Argento, thought in the late 80s (arguably, when the four were at their peak) as he crafted a project where he, along with the other masters of horror would produce a portmanteau film in which each one would direct a short movie based on a story by another master of the macabre: Edgar Allan Poe. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned as directors John Carpenter and Wes Craven were not really interested in the project; however, the master of zombie films, George A. Romero, decided to go on with Argento's project and the result was titled Due Occhi Diabolici (in English, Two Evil Eyes). The idea was ambitious but the result was, well, maybe not that successful.
Director George A. Romero opens Two Evil Eyes with his take on Poe's 'The Facts in the Case of Mr. Valdemar'. In Romero's version, Mr. Valdemar (Bingo O'Malley) is an old man in agony, who is hypnotized by his doctor, Robert Hoffman (Ramy Zada), in order to make him give all his money to Valdemar's wife Jessica (Adrienne Barbeau), whom in turn is having an affair with Dr. Hoffman. Things go wrong when Valdemar dies while hypnotized and, to the surprise of Jessica and her lover, Valdemar's conscience remains pretty much alive, trapped in the dream between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Argento's segment is an adaptation of Poe's classic 'The Black Cat'. Starring Harvey Keitel as crime scene photographer Roderick Usher, it tells the story of a violent man who, after murdering his girlfriend Annabel's (Madeleine Potter) black cat, gets obsessed with it to the point of having hallucinations after the animal's death. Of course, when Annabel discovers what happened to her cat, the madness in Rod has reached the point of no return.
Dealing with the concept of life after death and being one of the most graphically detailed of Poe's stories, 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar' certainly sounds like the best basis for a George A. Romero film. For his version, Romero adds a love triangle between Valdemar's wife and his doctor, conspiring to murder him for his money. While this addition does give the story some interest points (and as expected, a social commentary on money and greed), it is far from the usually edgy output by Romero. Frankly, it feels too typical an effort and has some dull moments in it. On the other hand, writers Dario Argento and Franco Ferrini make an extremely interesting re-imagining of 'The Black Cat'. As in Poe's tale, Argento and Ferrini keep insanity the key element of their story, and focus on the dehumanization of Rod Usher as he descends into madness. Usher's growing conflict with his girlfriend also serves to showcase a contrast between fantasy and reality, and also, to a certain extent, on how both find their way into art (via Rod's gritty photographs and Annabelle's ethereal music).
One of the most interesting things in anthologies or portmanteau films, is the way one can compare different styles from the directors involved. Romero's segment is probably the most polished of the two, with cinematographer Peter Reniers creating a surreal atmosphere of nightmare that goes nicely with the subject of opening the door to the dead. However, in Argento's segment Reniers goes to the other direction and makes a harsh, gritty portrayal of the decay in Pittsburgh's urban life. And yet, as different as they are, both segments do retain that atmosphere of dread that permeates through Poe's writings. Probably this is more apparent in Romero's more fantastical short, but Argento's carries the overwhelming sense of impeding doom and madness more effectively and to the point. The Italian master of horror creates also the most violent of the two segments, not only graphically, but also on an emotional and psychological level, with the painful descent of Rod Usher into darkness showing his talents at full. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Romero's segment.
The acting is also of a mixed bag, but given that one segment features better performances than the other, it shows that acting is also an element to relate to the director's performance at the helm of each segment. 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar' features a mostly unconvincing and overall mediocre work of acting. While Adrienne Barbeau does give her usual effective performance, for the most part the work done by the cast feels pretty average. Ramy Zada delivers a very poor performances as Valdemar's doctor, easily the worst in the whole film. In Argento's segment things are considerably different, with Harvey Keitel delivering a remarkable performance as the violent and ruthless Usher. Since 'The Black Cat' is essentially a character study about an alcoholic man and his own destruction, Keitel's work becomes instrumental for the success of Argento's segment. As his girlfriend Annabelle, Madeleine Potter offers an effective performance that rises up to the challenge of serving as the counterpart of Keitel's insane character.
As it could be noticed at this point, Due Occhi Diabolici is not exactly a successful experiment, with Romero's segment being a quite mediocre film while Argento's even rises above some of his worst output. I wouldn't go as far as to say that Romero's ruins the film, or that Argento's saves it, that probably would be to exaggerate more than a bit. However, the difference between both segments is quite notorious. 'The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar' may not be exactly what was expected from Romero, but it's not really a bad film, just average; and the feeling of disappointment may be increased by Romero's own reputation as a master of horror. If one can pass the disappointment, it's easy to discover that despite its troubles, the movie as a whole is still very entertaining, even at its slower parts. There is also a fair amount of gore in both tales, and the make-up effects are of truly high quality (the legendary Tom Savini supervised the effects).
Knowing that Romero and Argento are involved in a film certainly increases the disappointment as Due Occhi Diabolici fails to rise above the expectations. However, there are things to love about this little oddity. For starters, despite being made at the beginning of a dark time for the horror genre, the movie has a notable late 70s, early 80s feeling (definitely the result of both directors having the complete creative control over their projects) and it is quite violent for it's time. The chance of having a direct contrast between both styles is also of great interest. While Romero's segment may disappoint many people, the power and impact of Dario Argento's tale is enough to make Due Occhi Diabolici a must-see for fans of horror in general. One can only wonder if something like this could be made again. And hopefully, in an improved way.

Trump's Sanctions Forced Iran's Economy Into Recession, IMF Report Says
By Jason Lemon On 10/10/18 at 3:46 AM EDT
World Donald Trump Iran Sanctions International Monetary Fund
Iran's economy was previously expected to grow this year, but due to new U.S. sanctions it has now entered recession, a report from the International Monetary Fund has estimated.
The IMF World Economic Outlook report, which was released on Monday, predicts that Iran's economy will contract by 1.5 percent in 2018, with the trend continuing and increasing in 2019, shrinking by 3.5 percent, Radio Free Europe reported. In May, before President Donald Trump moved forward with sanctions against the Islamic Republic, the financial organization predicted 4 percent growth for this year and next.
"Reduced oil production" was blamed as the main driving factor behind the downturn, according to the study, Oil Price reported. But the IMF also expects the recession to only last through 2019, after which the economy should return to "modest positive growth" from 2020 to 2023.

Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal) in May, after consistently criticizing the international pact for years. In August, Washington moved to officially reimplement the first round of sanctions against Iran, also threatening to target anyone continuing to do business with the Middle Eastern nation.
Further sanctions targeting the country's oil sector will go into effect next month. Since the summer, Trump has been pushing allies and trading partners to cut imports of Iranian oil, while also urging OPEC members to fill the gap.
Meanwhile, Iranian crude exports have plunged by more than 500,000 barrels per day, after reaching a peak of about 2.5 million when sanctions were lifted in 2016. In November, Iranian production is expected to dip even further with expanded sanctions.
The IMF voiced concern about the global oil market in its new report. "Uncertainty remains substantial around the baseline assumptions for oil prices because Saudi Arabia's spare capacity is shrinking and U.S. sanctions against Iran will both weigh on Iran's oil production prospects in the medium term and reduce Iran's crude exports in the short term, requiring others with spare production capacity to step in," the report explained.

Saudi Arabia and Russia have ramped up production as oil prices rose to the highest they've been in four years. Tehran has warned that Moscow and Riyadh's increase won't be enough to make up for the deficit of removing Iranian oil from the international market.
Analysts have suggested that oil prices will continue to increase before lowering.
"Prices will probably rise further into overshoot territory. Once we see $90, I would expect decisive supply reaction," Commerzbank strategist Carsten Fritsch told Reuters last week. "Major economies won't let oil prices rise to triple digits and harm economic growth."

The Latest @ USIP: Women's Role in the South Sudan Peace Process
Monday, January 9, 2023 / By: Rita Lopidia
Print the Page
When South Sudan achieved independence in 2011, many South Sudanese women hoped it would lead to improvements on gender and security issues. In the years since, recurring civil conflict has unfortunately delayed these aspirations — but as with the independence movement, women have been at the forefront of the country's resurgent peace process. Rita Lopidia, executive director of the Eve Organization for Women Development and the 2020 recipient of USIP's Women Building Peace Award, discusses how South Sudan's national action plan on women, peace and security helped guide women's involvement in the revitalized peace agreement as well as how her organization is working with both men and women on gender and peacebuilding issues.

The United States played a key role in the emergence of South Sudan as an independent state 10 years ago. Yet today, U.S. policy toward the country is insufficient to address the continued violence or promote sustainable peace. Even so, it is not too late for U.S. policymakers to embark upon a renewed push for peace. To move forward, they should listen to what South Sudan's people said in the recently concluded National Dialogue and incorporate its recommendations in diplomatic, humanitarian and development strategies for the country.

Conflict and Crisis in South Sudan's Equatoria
By: Alan Boswell
South Sudan's civil war expanded into Equatoria, the country's southernmost region, in 2016, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee into neighboring Uganda in what has been called Africa's largest refugee exodus since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Equatoria is now the last major hot spot in the civil war. If lasting peace is to come to South Sudan, writes Alan Boswell, it will require a peace effort that more fully reckons with the long-held grievances of Equatorians.

The South Sudan Peace Process Archive: A Window into Mediation
By: Zach Vertin; Aly Verjee
As part of its commitment to learning from peace processes, the U.S. Institute of Peace is pleased to launch the South Sudan Peace Process Archive, which aims to provide South Sudanese citizens, mediators, policymakers, academics and other interested readers a window into the 2013-2015 negotiations that attempted to end the conflict that began in South Sudan in late 2013. Documents for this archive were first assembled and organized in 2016. Now, archive curators and former peace process advisers Zach Vertin and Aly Verjee discuss their motivations for assembling and organizing the documents and what they hope the archive can contribute to future peace processes.

South Sudan: From 10 States to 32 States and Back Again
By: Matthew Pritchard; Aly Verjee
Last year, South Sudan reintroduced 10 subnational states in South Sudan, in place of the 32 states controversially created in 2017. Far from being an obscure matter of administrative organization, the initial, dramatic redivision of territory in the midst of protracted violence and large-scale displacement had a significant impact on representation, as well as social, economic, and political relations throughout the country. In 2018-19, researchers commissioned by USIP sought to better understand the decision-making process behind the creation of the 32 states in South Sudan. Researchers Matthew Pritchard and Aly Verjee discuss their findings in light of current developments.

Q: How to remove knockoutjs event handler from changed template I'm looking the way of how to remove event handler from disappeared UI template.
For example I have an element with template binding.
Template name comes from observable property. When I set the valid name, template renders button with click binding / event. When I pass undefined as the name, template renders nothing.
What happens to event handler and binding?
UPD: Some code from my head:

A: There are 2 scenarios here

*

*templateName value starts with undefined.

*templateName value starts with "btn-tmpl" and is changed to undefined.

In the first case the template binding will not simply not render anything as there is no name.  Therefore there is no button element in the DOM and no event
In the second case, when the templateName is cleared KO will empty the contents of the div with the template binding, this includes cleaning up all event handlers.
As a further note, a script element with type "text/html" is not actually passed by the browser as DOM nodes.  You will not be able to locate that button element in the DOM and so KO will not have wired up an event handler
