First Time Coming to New York City, New York – Did You Know?
Still under British rule in the early 1700s, New York grew as an important trading post. It also became a center of slavery, with 42% of households holding slaves by 1730, more than any other city other than Charleston, South Carolina. Most held a number of domestic slaves, but others would hire them out for labor. Throughout the port, slavery was integrally tied to New York's economy, and discovery of the African Burying Ground in the 1990s revealed that tens of thousands of Africans had been buried in the area in colonial years. New York had surpassed Philadelphia as the largest U.S. city by 1790.
During the 1830s and 1840s, prominent American literary figures William Cullen Bryant, Washington Irving, Herman Melville, Rufus Wilmot Griswold, John Keese, Nathaniel Parker Willis, and Edgar Allan Poe all lived in New York. Lobbied for by public-minded members of the old merchant elite, in 1857, Central Park was established and became the first landscaped park in an American city.
New York City is described by many as the cultural capital of the world. Author Tom Wolfe once said, "Culture just seems to be in the air, like part of the weather." Tourism is one of the city's most vital industries, with more than 40 million domestic and international tourists that visit every year.
People travel the world to see the Empire State Building; Statue of Liberty; Ellis Island; Broadway theater productions; museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Central Park and Washington Square Park; Rockefeller Center; Times Square; the Manhattan Chinatown; the luxury shopping along Fifth and Madison Avenues; and to attend events such as the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village; the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree; the St. Patrick's Day parade; seasonal activities such as ice skating in Central Park in winter; the Tribeca Film Festival; and free performances in Central Park at Summerstage. Other attractions of the city include the Bronx Zoo; Coney Island; Flushing Meadows-Corona Park; and the New York Botanical Garden. Mayor Michael Bloomberg unveiled on September 27, 2012 plans for the New York Wheel, the world's tallest ferris wheel, to sit at the northern shore of Staten Island, overlooking the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor, and the Lower Manhattan skyline.
Located in the Northeastern United States, in the southeast of New York State, New York City is approximately halfway between Washington, D.C. and Boston. It is at the mouth of the Hudson River, which feeds into a naturally sheltered harbor and flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The location has helped the city grow in significance as a trading port. With much of the city built on the three islands of Manhattan, Staten Island, and Long Island, land is scarce which encourages a high population density.
The Hudson is an estuary flowing through the Hudson Valley into New York Bay, separating the city from New Jersey. The East River is what is called a tidal straight, flowing from Long Island Sound and separating the Bronx and Manhattan from Long Island. The Harlem River is another tidal strait between the East and Hudson Rivers, and it separates most of Manhattan from the Bronx. Flowing through the Bronx and Westchester County, The Bronx River is the only entirely fresh water river in the city.
Substantially altered by human intervention, the city's land has considerable land reclamation along the waterfronts since Dutch colonial times, most prominently in Lower Manhattan.
New York City's food culture, influenced by the city's immigrant history, includes a variety of world cuisines. Eastern European and Italian immigrants have made the city famous for bagels, cheesecake and New York-style pizza, while Chinese and other Asian restaurants, burger joints, Italian restaurants, diners and coffee shops are found everywhere you look. The city licenses around 4,000 mobile food vendors, many immigrant-owned, serving Middle Eastern foods such as falafels and kebabs, standbys of modern New York street food. But hot dogs and pretzels are still the main street fare. The city also has some of the finest and most diverse haute cuisine restaurants in the country.
The New York area is known for a distinctive regional speech pattern called the New York dialect, sometimes called Brooklynese or New Yorkese. It is considered one of the most recognizable accents within American English speakers. The dialects classic version is centered on middle and working-class people of European descent. The more recent influx of non-European immigrants has led to changes in this distinctive dialect.

By: Lynn Messina
Narrated by: Jill Smith
Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence.

Cannot wait for the next book
By Kathleen Freeland on 04-04-19
Seven weeks ago, a young American woman, Amanda Pym, faced down hijackers on board a flight to the Middle East and saved the lives of more than 200 passengers. In a blaze of celebrity, she stepped off the plane in Damascus and was whisked away in a waiting car. Since then, nothing. The CIA believes she was kidnapped and murdered.
Whose plans has the apparently ordinary young woman interfered with? The machinations of the mukhabarat, Syria's dreaded police? The schemes of cutthroat terrorists? Or has she simply gone into hiding?
Masquerading as Amanda Pym's worried aunt, Mrs. Pollifax begins her determined search, slipping through Damascus' crooked streets and colorful, crowded souks, and trekking deep into the desert, hoping that rumor and whispers (which is all she has to go on) will lead her to the truth.

The Progress Principle
Lucille 1978
WICHITA, KS, United States
Not the performance we are used to hearing.
Barbara creates an energy field around her that extends to everyone she meets and electrifies each book she records. She is superb with accents, unfailingly accurate and consistent. Her repertoire of dialects enlivens characters from cockney to Castillian, Broadway to Budapest. She owns numerous mystery series, with characterizations including Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody, Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax and, recently, Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon. All would simply not be right with another reader. Her astute sense of timing and sensitivity to the characters are intrinsic to her work. This is a quote from "Are You Listening".
I don't understand why after having Ms. Rosenblat narrate the first thirteen books in the series you would select someone with totally different skills and voice perform the final book in the series. This spoils my enjoyment and although I listen to the rest of the series again and again I skip this book when I do. Although I have bought all the books, I am unable to enjoy listening to the complete series. If you would please have Ms. Rosenblat perform this book I would purchase her version so I could actually enjoy it. It is sad enough that Dorothy Gillman has past on and will no longer entertain us with the wit and charm we can enjoy of her Mrs. Pollifax series without you ruining the last book in it's audio version for her fans. PLEASE FIX THIS ERROR. Thank you.
Horribly Bad Narration
How did the narrator detract from the book?
This narrator gave the elderly Mrs. Pollifax the voice of a silly high pitched young girl. Awful. Simply awful, Other books in the series were read by the excellent Barbara Rosenblat with an appropriate intelligent, humorous, lower pitched voice. Listening to this after the others in the series was like listening to finger nails on the chalk board. It is as if instead of trying to complete a series by using similar narration, the new narrator tried to be as different as possible from the previous narrator. Unfortunately, since the previous narrator was excellent, this means this narrator was bad in every possible way.
This book should be rerecorded by Ms. Rosenblat or some other competant narrator. The story itself is typical Mrs. Pollifax, with typical coincidences and escapes. Mrs. Pollifax fans will enjoy the story.

A wonderful series destroyed..
I have been a long term addict of the Mrs Pollifax series, I own and have read multiple times most of her books, because I liked the light humor, confident, well grounded grandmother turned hero. I equally fell in love with the earlier books released on Audible, the previous reader did a fantastic job with the down to earth, grandmotherly Mrs Pollifax. I am heartbroken to see this series destroyed by what I can only guess was a really bad ghost writer, that has zero understanding of the courageous, get it done Mrs Pollifax. I was equally horrified to hear this young debutant voice that is the new "more helpless & girly" Mrs Pollifax, and wanted to strangle the reader with a "feminine" Ferrell (what was wrong with rugged & sexy ???) and a feminine sounding Mr. Carstairs (feminine male CIA director???). It was truly painful to listen to this audio. The reader might be great in a Southern high society book, but horrible in this "grandmother does CIA agent" book. I will definitely not torture myself by buying any more of the recent Mrs. Pollifax audible series, and it makes me very sad to have a really fun series destroyed..
Linda MW
Disappointed in narrator
Very disappointed in the narrator for the last volume in the Mrs Pollifax series. All the other volumes were wonderfully narrated by Barbara Rosenblat; although she has narrated a version of this book, too, Audible chose another narrator. The high, girlish voice for Mrs Pollifax doesn't at all suit her character or age. Also, the hissing sound on the narrator's "s"s was very irritating.
Sharon Williams is no Barbara Rosenblat
This book wasn't for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one will enjoy this. I love Mrs Pollifax, but Sharon Williams destroyed her personality through poor narration.
Would you be willing to try another one of Sharon Williams's performances?

Worst narration in the series
What did you love best about Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled?
It was honestly so hard to follow the story b/c I was so distracted by the completely unimaginative rendering of Sharon Williams. I was used to Barbara Rosenblats enthralling rendition. Honestly, most of the time I couldn't even tell who was talking. I guess I need to read it the old fashioned way and imagine the voices.
What other book might you compare Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled to and why?
Its very much like Mary Higgins Clark series or a bit like Agatha Christie but with a much more colorful main character.
She didn't do a distinctive voice for Ms. Pollifax. It was so blah and didn't capture her character at all. Honestly, I had a hard time following the story listening to it b/c I couldn't tell who was talking.
Nope. Too frustrated by the narrator.
Audible--please please please have Barbara Rosenblat do this book. Its worth redoing. Its the only book in the series she doesn't narrate. Why?!
Saddness...
The Mrs. Pollifax series has been brain "cotton candy" for me and my grandmother to enjoy together. Over the years, I gradually acquired the whole series for grandma... except this book... I was waiting for Barbara Rosenblat to record it. I finally gave up... apparently it isn't going to happen. Although Sharon Williams is a fine narrator, every time she spoke for Mrs. Pollifax it jarred me, because it just wasn't the right voice. This book, the last of the series, is very short, borrows heavily from plot lines in prior books (kept thinking I had read it before) and just plain old isn't as good as her previous books. If you want to check out this series, start with "The Unexpected Mrs Pollifax" #1 and read more or less in order... stop before reading this one... unless you really, really love them.

Where is Barbara Rosenblatt?
After listening to the 13 previous books in this series read by Barbara Rosenblatt, I was very disappointed in the reading by Sharon Williams. Ms. Rosenblatt's portrayal of Mrs. Pollifax and the other characters in the book was terrific. I am afraid Miss Williams was not able to convey the different characters with the sense of individuality that Ms. Rosenblatt presented. Ms. Williams's Emily was not as feisty as Ms. Rosenblatt's portrayal. There was too much sameness in the Williams version.

The last Mrs Pollifax novel
This story was classic Mrs Pollifax. The narration, while adequate, simply wasn't up to the very high standard Barbara Rosenblat had set with all the others. Too bad Audible doesn't have her recording of the book. (I just double-checked and she recorded it for Recorded Books, like all the others.) Where is it, Audible? This narration simply wasn't as good.
Ellen Anthony
Different Narrator. Good story, but last in serie
Sharon Williams is good, but she doesn't portray the age of Mrs. Pollifax effectively. It was a bit jarring to go from the elderly woman Barbara Rosenblatt played to such a younger characterization. The story itself is excellent. It could only have been better if Mrs. Pollifax had made a decision in the story that it was going to be her last mission instead of leaving it open.

Q: spring boot passing parameter from list to controller I have a list of objects in my view:

button in last column starts a modal. In modal I can add some value for a record:
    <form th:action="@{/add-data}"
          method="post"
          class="form">
        <input name="NEW-DATA">

            <button name="login-submit"
                    type="submit">

            </button>

    </form>

and this is my controller:
@PostMapping("/add-data")
public String addData(@RequestParam String URL) {
   ... do logic...
    return "index";
}

I get correct input value in my addData() method, but I cannot find a way to pass an id from object that was clicked on a list in a first place.
I need this object id to be able to correctly store additional information.
I think of maybe doing separate page for adding this information for each record but that seems not right with easy and small eddits/additions.
Is there any way to be able to add edits on modals in Spring Boot? I was not able to find proper answer for that anywhere, so here I am.

A: You are passing the URL param to the Controller, simply pass the value to the controller in the same way.
The glue you need is in JavaScript. When the user clicks the button to open the modal, use JS to copy the value to a hidden input field on the modal Form tag. When the form is submitted, then your copied value will also be submitted and available in your controller. You can write the hidden input field with a dummy value and then change the value via JS.
 <input type="hidden" id="myHiddenField" name="myHiddenField" value="CHANGE_ME">

Your button to open the modal can look like this:

Now hidden field in modal form has the value you want.

Q: Is the Not-an-answer flag overflow considered a problem? We see these kind of statistics all the time:

Most of the flags are not an answer flags and many of those are actually invalid flags since many users flag incorrect or low-quality answers as not an answer.
We have proposals to improve that situation. Are those proposals considered by the team or is this actually not really a problem?

A: 90-95% of NAA flags are reasonably accurate. Compared to VLQ at 60-70%, that's really quite good. Because of this, they're not normally that much of a burden on the moderator team, at least in contrast to VLQ and especially "other" flags.

Inline sidebar: Not An Answer flags during the past 30 days on Stack Overflow
NAA   Helpful On Now-Deleted Post Helpful AND on Now-Deleted Post
----- ------- ------------------- -------------------------------
57203 52733   52860               52281

Either way you slice it, that's over 90% accurate.

That's not to say this couldn't be improved, however. A big problem right now is simply that they're exposed to 10K users, but 10K users can't vote to delete them! They can dispute them or pile on more NAA flags, which can help the moderators process them more quickly in some instances but can also just inflate the flag count (this was a particularly bad problem during Winterbash and the recent moderator election).
We could do something similar to what we did with VLQ flags (direct them into a queue where a large number of low-rep users are allowed to delete them) - but this is kind of a waste when only 1 out of 10 won't be deleted.
A better option might simply be to put them in front of 20K users and give them the ability to delete OR decline, with only controversial and unhandled going before the mod-team.

A: The problem is people flagging answers that are better dealt with by down-votes.
Getting rid of the "not an answer" reason probably won't solve the problem, as the people doing the flagging will only select a different reason.
The best solution is that the Moderators continue to reject invalid flags(which they do), perhaps with a mechanism to make the rejected flag more visible to the flagger, so that they know not to do that.

CFP: Narrative, Race, and Ethnicity in the Americas
Narrative, Race, and Ethnicity in the Americas
In her landmark study of race and American literature, Playing in the Dark (1992), Toni Morrison argued that literary history has taken for granted a certain set of assumptions, including the understanding that "American literature is free of, uninformed, and unshaped by the four-hundred-year-old presence of, first, Africans and then African Americans in the United States" and that "this presence […] had no significant place or consequence in the origin and development of that culture's literature" (4-5). Morrison's work provides a thoughtful and insightful study of race in American narrative and has inspired a generation of scholars to continue the study of race and ethnicity in American literature. However, much of this work (but certainly not all, as evidenced by Frederick Luis Aldama's recent collection Analyzing World Fiction: New Horizons in Narrative Theory [Texas, 2011]) tends to fall outside the scope of formal narrative studies. And just as Susan Lanser's 1986 ground-breaking article "Toward a Feminist Narratology" has inspired scholars to explore the fruitful possibilities of a feminist narrative theory that engages an intersectional approach to issues related (but not limited to) gender, the editors hope to compile a collection of essays that similarly engages the study of race, ethnicity, and narrative in the Americas, a cultural-geo-political area that we conceive of broadly that is not simply bounded by the nation-state of the U.S. Following Aldama's collection, we hope to provide a work that encompasses a diversity of voices, subjects, and approaches to the study of narrative, race, and ethnicity.
To that end, we invite proposals for a collection of essays that will examine the intersections of race, ethnicity, and narrative focused on texts produced by authors with cultural ties to the Americas, a region that has seen the widespread sale of African slaves, the decimation of indigenous peoples in the wake of European colonialism, the hybridization of settler-colonials with roots in Spain, and the systematic mistreatment of Asian immigrants, as well as a cultural history that has needed to be ever-mindful of that heritage. It is the belief of the editors that "the Americas" share a unified cultural history, particularly with respect to issues of race and ethnic identity, and that narratives produced by artists in many American nations reflect that shared history. As such, the editors would like this volume to include as many diverse voices, backgrounds, and identities as possible.
We seek proposals for essays that will address the various ways that the formal study of narrative intersects productively with methodologies of critical race studies, post-colonial theory, and general ethnic studies. In other words, following the example set forth by Lanser, how can issues of identity help us better understand the workings of narrative, and how can a formal study of narrative assist us in the study of narrative forms? We seek essays that engage the diversity of possible theoretical approaches, as well as works that explore a multiplicity of ethnic voices and audiences. We do not wish to define what it means to study narrative, race, and ethnicity in the Americas; rather, we hope to provide a starting point for the variety of directions such a study can take.
Proposals for essays should be between 750 and 1000 words and should clearly articulate their theoretical position and identify the narratives to be analyzed. Completed abstracts are due by March 31, 2013 and can be sent to James J. Donahue (donahujj@potsdam.edu), Jennifer Ho (jho@email.unc.edu), or Shaun Morgan (dmorgan@twcnet.edu). We welcome questions or inquiries about this volume prior to this date, as well. Submitters will be notified about the status of their proposals by May 31, 2013 and final essays of 5,000-6,000 words will be due on January 31, 2014.
Although we do not have a formal agreement with a press just yet, an editor for the Ohio State University Press Series on the Theory and Interpretation of Narrative has expressed strong interest in reviewing this collection.
Possible topics (though others are welcome as well) include:
— the interconnections of Critical Race Theory and Narrative Theor(ies)
— the impact of Civil Rights, the American Indian Movement, or other civil rights movements on the production, consumption, or study of narrative(s)
— the intersections of Post-Colonial Theory (as it pertains to literature of the Americas) and the study of narrative
— the use, limitations, or necessary expansions to formalist approaches to the study of narrative(s) produced by People of Color (are concepts such as narrator, implied author, etc. race/ethnicity neutral?)
— are narrative approaches grounded in the study of race and ethnicity methodologically different from narrative approaches grounded in the study of gender or class; and if so, how?
— the necessary additions/revisions/etc. to cognitive and ethical approaches to the study of narrative that considerations of race engender
–the ways in which a study of narrative and race can be useful as a form of anti-racist praxis

UZBEKISTAN: Harsh border cuts Muslims off from Turkmen holy sites
By Igor Rotar, Forum 18
High Turkmen visa fees make it prohibitively expensive for many Uzbek Muslims living close to the western border with Turkmenistan from crossing over to visit family graveyards and places of pilgrimage, Forum 18 News Service has learnt in the Khorezm region of western Uzbekistan. "We can see our forebears' graves through the barbed wire, but if we want to reach them and perform religious rituals, we have to pay money to the Turkmens," the imam of Manak village, Nodyr Formanov, told Forum 18. "The visa regime between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan clearly encroaches on believers' rights," complained Vladimir Artemyev, director of the Uzbek branch of a UNESCO project for the preservation of ancient monuments.
Local residents along Uzbekistan's western border with Turkmenistan have complained of procedures imposed by the Turkmen authorities that make crossing the border to visit holy sites difficult and expensive, Forum 18 News Service has learnt on a visit to the Khorezm region of western Uzbekistan. Local residents are required to pay six US dollars to cross the border, a substantial sum in a region where the average monthly salary is no more than twenty US dollars. "My mother and father are buried in a cemetery across the border in Turkmenistan," local resident Rakhim Yusupov told Forum 18 in the village of Shavat on 12 July. "As Muslims we simply have to visit the graves of the whole family's forebears. I have a wife and five children, so every time we want to honour the memory of our parents I have to pay the Turkmens 42 dollars!"
Nearby Manak village – half-way from Shavat to the border with Turkmenistan - is in Uzbekistan, but the village cemetery is on the other side of the border. The imam of the local mosque, Nodyr Formanov, describes the situation as "quite ridiculous". "We can see our forebears' graves through the barbed wire, but if we want to reach them and perform religious rituals, we have to pay money to the Turkmens," he told Forum 18 in Manak on 13 July.
"In February 2001 Turkmenistan unilaterally introduced a visa regime with Uzbekistan," Babakhan Islamov, head of the Shavat district administration, told Forum 18 on 12 July in Shavat, which is half way between the Uzbek city of Urgench and the Turkmen city of Tashauz. To cross the border, Uzbek citizens have to obtain a visa at the Turkmen embassy in the Uzbek capital Tashkent. However, the Turkmen government introduced a slight concession for residents in the border regions, who can buy a visa costing six US dollars at the border itself.
"We don't ask for any money from Turkmen citizens travelling here, but the Turkmen side makes them buy an exit visa costing around two dollars," Islamov pointed out.
Vladimir Artemyev, director of the Uzbek branch of a UNESCO project for the preservation of ancient monuments, explains that when the border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan was drawn in 1924 it divided a single ethno-cultural region - the former territory of the Khorezm state. He says a number of holy places honoured by Uzbek Muslims and the Uzbek people ended up in Turkmenistan. Even the capital of the Khorezm state - now the city of Konya-Urgench, where many holy places honoured by Muslims have been preserved - ended up in Turkmenistan.
"So long as the border remained just a formal line on the map, this division had virtually no impact on people's lives," Artemyev told Forum 18 in the Uzbek capital Tashkent on 14 July. "But since becoming a state border, the 'landmine planted by cartographers in Moscow' has become a serious problem in relations between the two independent states."
Uzbeks form the second largest ethnic minority in Turkmenistan, representing around 10 per cent of the population. In districts across the border from Uzbekistan's Karakalpakstan autonomous republic and Khorezm region, ethnic Uzbeks make up as much as half the population.
The introduction of a visa regime for people living in the border regions has led to bloody clashes. When a crowd of Uzbeks tried to reach their ancestors' cemetery across the border without obtaining visas in December 2001, Turkmen border guards opened fire and wounded several people.
"The introduction of a visa regime is making it hard for Khorezm Uzbeks to carry out religious rituals," Artemyev told Forum 18. He said in particular the mosques in Konya-Urgench are places of pilgrimage for Muslims which were traditionally visited by Uzbek residents. Another site revered by Muslims is the ancient Klavlyuiya cemetery, 60 kilometres (35 miles) north of Tashauz. He also cited many lesser-known cemeteries in the border districts of Turkmenistan where Uzbek relatives are buried. "The visa regime between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan clearly encroaches on believers' rights," Artemyev declared.
Uzbek officials are wary about speaking of such a delicate issue. "I'm not going to deny that there is a problem for believers in the regions bordering Turkmenistan," the chairman of the Uzbek government's committee for religious affairs, Shoazim Minovarov, told Forum 18 on 15 July in Tashkent. "But we are not empowered to set policy, and so I will not make any comment."


Africa's black-footed cat may look cute and fluffy, but it's one of nature's deadliest hunters just waiting to strike.
It has large, plaintive eyes that seem almost too big for its tiny face. Its body is covered in spotted whisps of fur that wouldn't be out of place on a months-old domesticated feline kitten. And finally, the reason behind its moniker; its black-soled feet. However, Africa's black-footed cat may look harmless enough, but just beneath the surface of its outward appearance lies a very cold and calculating killer with skills that rank it as the deadliest of Africa's wild cats.
The black-footed cat, with its unstable population numbers that have it on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, makes its home primarily in the southern regions of Africa where it can hunt rodents and small birds. A carnivore through and through, this cat (which rarely exceeds the 5 pound marker for body weight — less than half of the average-sized American house cat) is nocturnal and begins its quest for prey as soon as the sun sets. It uses stealth and speed as weapons, and quite effectively. So what has happened that this killer kitty is on a vulnerable species list?
For the black-footed cat, it's a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then eating the wrong poisoned carcass at any time. Area farmers and landowners have no reason to be worried about the cat since it poses no threat to livestock and actually benefits the area it lives in by hunting rats — upwards of 3000 a year. Unfortunately, traps laid out for larger predators such as jackals often snare the black-footed cat instead, and poisoned bait is looked upon as an easy meal.

"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. Under Gamaliel I was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous for God as any of you are today. 3
I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison, 4
as also the high priest and all the Council can testify. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished. 5
"About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 6
I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?' 7
" 'Who are you, Lord?' I asked. 8
My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. 9
"'What shall I do, Lord?' I asked."'Get up,' the Lord said, 'and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.' 10
My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me. 11
"A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. 12
He stood beside me and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!' And at that very moment I was able to see him. 13
"Then he said: 'The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. 14
You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 15
And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.' 16
"When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance 17
and saw the Lord speaking. 'Quick!' he said to me. 'Leave Jerusalem immediately, because they will not accept your testimony about me.' 18
" 'Lord,' I replied, 'these men know that I went from one synagogue to another to imprison and beat those who believe in you. 19
And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.' 20
"Then the Lord said to me, 'Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.' "Paul the Roman Citizen 21
The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, "Rid the earth of him! He's not fit to live!" 22
As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, 23
the commander ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks. He directed that he be flogged and questioned in order to find out why the people were shouting at him like this. 24
As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?" 25
When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "This man is a Roman citizen." 26
The commander went to Paul and asked, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" "Yes, I am," he answered. 27
Then the commander said, "I had to pay a big price for my citizenship." "But I was born a citizen," Paul replied. 28
Those who were about to question him withdrew immediately. The commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains.Before the Sanhedrin 29
The next day, since the commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them. 30

The team of eight students accepted the award at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
A look at the award-winning "Mirrors of Grimaldi."
After their advisor, Dr. Jichen Zhu, rejected a handful of pitches for the game they'd create for their senior project, Drexel student Andrew Lichtsinn and his classmates didn't have much confidence in one of their new gameplay ideas: a "dynamic splitscreen" that would change the size of players' screens as they suffered damage in the game.
So the students, which call themselves 51st and Fire, were surprised when Zhu heard the idea and immediately gave them the go-ahead to develop the concept further into a game.
That game is Mirrors of Grimaldi, and it won first place for Best Gameplay at the Intel University Games Showcase on March 17 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
You can play Mirrors of Grimaldi in its alpha state now.
The top prize was $10,000 worth of Intel equipment for Drexel, which will be used to help the team and future teams develop even better games, said Zhu, an assistant professor in Drexel's digital media program and director of the Procedural eXpression Lab, which focuses on narrative, experimental and serious games.
Lichtsinn said the win was a big surprise.
In Mirrors of Grimaldi, four players share one screen as they try to survive against an onslaught of demons in a demonic carnival. They do this by punching demons into other players' sections of the screen and as each player takes damage, their sections continue to shrink, eventually crushing them until one player is left standing. They made the game in Unity.
Watch Trahey talk about the game after their win.
Since a team only has nine months to make a full game, Zhu knew it was crucial for them to recognize early on a core, novel idea with a lot of potential.
It was her and many of the students' first time attending GDC, and with it being the world's largest gathering of game industry professionals, Zhu felt it was a good opportunity for some two-way exposure: students got an expansive glimpse into the industry and Drexel got some of the spotlight with Mirrors of Grimaldi.
With the senior showcase on June 5, the team is hard at work polishing up the game and preparing it for a soft launch on game marketplace itch.io. Lichtsinn said they're also looking into launching the game through Steam Greenlight or the ID@Xbox program.

Q: Bounds for $\zeta$ function on the $1$-line I was going over my notes from a class on analytical number theory and we use a bound for the $\zeta$ function on the $1$ line as $\vert \zeta(1+it) \vert \leq  \log(\vert t \vert) + \mathcal{O}(1)$ for $t$ bounded away from $0$, say $\vert t \vert \geq 1$. I don't seem to have a proof for this in my notes.
How does one prove the following bound for $\zeta(s)$ on the one line?

$$\zeta(1+it) \leq \log(|t|) + \mathcal{O}(1) \, \, \forall t \geq 1$$

A: Here is a long answer. The main ingredient to get your bound is to find the analytic continuation to a region which includes the $1$ line.
You can skip the first part if you know how to continue $\zeta(s)$ analytically to the left of $\text{Re}(s) =1$.
First note that for $\text{Re}(s) > 1$, we have $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s}$$
As stated earlier, to have a bound on the $1$ line, we need to have $\zeta(s)$ to be defined in a half-plane containing the $1$ line i.e. we need to extend the above definition from $\text{Re}(s) > 1$ to a region $\text{Re}(s) > a$ where $a < 1$.

Analytic continuation of $\zeta(s)$ to the left of $1$ line:
One way to do it is as follows. We know that for $\text{Re}(s) > 1$, $\displaystyle \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s}$. We will extend this analytically to the region $\text{Re}(s) > 0$. In some sense, this is all we need not just for this problem but also for most of the problems on $\zeta$, since most often we are only interested in the behavior of the $\zeta(s)$ inside the critical strip i.e. $\{s \in \mathbb{C}: \text{Re(s)} \in (0,1)\}$. We make use of the powerful Euler–Maclaurin formula to make this analytic extension.
$$\displaystyle \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s} = \sum_{n=1}^{N} \dfrac1{n^s} + \sum_{n=N+1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s}$$
The reason why we split this into two parts will become clear as well proceed. But to give a quick answer, the reason for this splitting into a sum $\leq N$ and a sum $>N$, is to allow us to play around with $N$ and optimize the error term accordingly.
We will now focus our attention on $\displaystyle \sum_{n=N+1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s}$. Note that $$\displaystyle \sum_{n=N+1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s} = \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{d \lfloor t\rfloor}{t^s} = \left. \dfrac{\lfloor t \rfloor}{t^s} \right \vert_{N^+}^{\infty} + s \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\lfloor t \rfloor}{t^{s+1}} dt$$
So far, we have $\text{Re}(s) > 1$. Hence, $\left. \dfrac{\lfloor t \rfloor}{t^s} \right \vert_{N^+}^{\infty} = - \dfrac{N}{N^s} = - N^{1-s}$. Further, $$\int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\lfloor t \rfloor}{t^{s+1}} dt = \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{t - \{ t \}}{t^{s+1}} dt = \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{dt}{t^s} - \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\{ t \}}{t^{s+1}} dt$$ Again, since $\text{Re}(s) > 1$, we have $$\int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{dt}{t^s} = - \dfrac{N^{1-s}}{1-s}$$
Hence, putting all these together, we now have that $$\displaystyle \sum_{n=N+1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s} = - N^{1-s} - \dfrac{s}{1-s} N^{1-s} - s \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\{ t \}}{t^{s+1}} dt =  \dfrac{ N^{1-s}}{s-1} - s \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\{ t \}}{t^{s+1}} dt$$
Hence, $$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} \dfrac1{n^s} + \dfrac{N^{1-s}}{s-1} - s \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\{ t \}}{t^{s+1}} dt$$
However, note the little miracle here. The expression on the right now makes sense for $\text{Re}(s) > 0$, since $\displaystyle \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \dfrac{\{ t \}}{t^{s+1}} dt$ converges for $\text{Re}(s) >0$, and is analytic, and it matches with $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac1{n^s}$ for $\text{Re}(s) > 1$. This means that this is the analytic extension we were after.

Back to the problem
Now setting $s = 1 +it$, we get that
\begin{align*}
\zeta(1+it) & = \sum_{n \leq N} \frac1{n^{1+it}} - \frac{N^{1-(1+it)}}{1-(1+it)} - (1+it) \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac{\{y\}}{y^{2+it}} dy\\
& = \sum_{n \leq N} \frac1{n^{1+it}} + \frac{N^{-it}}{it} - (1+it) \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac{\{y\}}{y^{2+it}} dy
\end{align*}
We will now get a bound for $E(N,t) = \displaystyle \frac{N^{-it}}{it} - (1+it) \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac{\{y\}}{y^{2+it}} dy$.
\begin{align*}
\left \lvert E(N,t) \right \rvert & \leq \left \lvert \frac{N^{-it}}{it} \right \rvert + \displaystyle \left \lvert 1+it \right \rvert \left \lvert \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac{\{y\}}{y^{2+it}} dy \right \rvert\\
& \leq \frac1{\lvert t \rvert} + \displaystyle \left \lvert 1+it \right \rvert \left \lvert \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac1{y^{2+it}} dy \right \rvert\\
& \leq \frac1{\lvert t \rvert} + \displaystyle \left \lvert 1+it \right \rvert \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \left \lvert \frac1{y^{2+it}} \right \rvert dy\\
& \leq \frac1{\lvert t \rvert} + \displaystyle \left \lvert 1+it \right \rvert \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac1{y^{2}} dy\\
& = \frac1{\lvert t \rvert} + \frac{\left \lvert 1+it \right \rvert}{N}
\end{align*}
Now we need to optimally choose $N$ to get a good error bound. This is why we split the original summation into two parts.
Note that since $\lvert t \rvert \geq 1$, we get that $\left \lvert 1 + it \right \rvert \leq \lvert t \rvert \sqrt{2}$.
If we choose $N = \lfloor \lvert t \rvert \rfloor$, we get that $$\left \lvert E(N,t) \right \rvert \leq \frac1{\lvert t \rvert} + \frac{\lvert t \rvert \sqrt{2}}{\lfloor \lvert t \rvert \rfloor}.$$
Since, $\displaystyle |t| \geq 1$, we get that $\displaystyle \frac1{\lvert t \rvert} \leq 1$ and also that $\displaystyle \frac{\lvert t \rvert}{\lfloor\lvert t \rvert \rfloor} \leq 2$. Hence, we get that $$\displaystyle \left \lvert E(N,t) \right \rvert \leq 1 + 2 \sqrt{2}$$ i.e. $E(N,t) = \mathcal{O}(1)$. Hence, we have that $$\zeta(1+it) = \sum_{n \leq N} \frac1{n^{1+it}} + \frac{N^{-it}}{it} - (1+it) \int_{N^+}^{\infty} \frac{\{y\}}{y^{2+it}} dy\\ = \sum_{n \leq \lvert t \rvert} \frac1{n^{1+it}} + E(N,t) = \sum_{n \leq \lvert t \rvert} \frac1{n^{1+it}} + \mathcal{O}(1).$$

Finishing steps
Now we are almost done. Taking the absolute value we get that
\begin{align*}
\lvert \zeta(1+it) \rvert & = \left \lvert \sum_{n \leq \lvert t \rvert} \frac1{n^{1+it}} + E(N,t) \right \rvert\\
& \leq \sum_{n \leq \lvert t \rvert} \left \lvert \frac1{n^{1+it}} \right \rvert + \left \lvert E(N,t) \right \rvert\\
& = \sum_{n \leq \lvert t \rvert} \frac1{n} + \left \lvert E(N,t) \right \rvert\\
& \leq \log \left( \left \lvert t \right \rvert \right) + \mathcal{O}(1) + \mathcal{O}(1) \text{  (Since $\displaystyle \sum_{n \leq |t|} \dfrac1n$ goes as $\log(|t|) + \gamma + \mathcal{O}(1/|t|)$)}\\
& = \log \left( \left \lvert t \right \rvert \right) + \mathcal{O}(1).
\end{align*}
Hence, we get what we want, viz, $$\lvert \zeta(1+it) \rvert \leq \log \left( \left \lvert t \right \rvert \right) + \mathcal{O}(1).$$

You should also look here where another asymptotic for $\zeta(s)$ on the left of the $0$-line is obtained by different argument. You could also follow a similar method as described in the other question i.e. use the functional equation described in that to obtain a bound for $\zeta(s)$ on the $1$-line. You will need bounds for $\zeta(it)$, if you want to make use of the functional equation. But either way you cannot escape some long arguments. And I think what I have written is a bit more straight-forward than trying to make use of the functional equation.

A: Analytic Continuation of $\boldsymbol{\zeta(z)}$ with Euler-Maclaurin
The Euler-Maclaurin Sum formula says that, as a function of $n$,
$$
\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k^z}=\zeta^\ast(z)+\frac{1}{1-z}n^{1-z}+\frac12n^{-z}+O\left(zn^{-1-z}\right)\tag{1}
$$
for some $\zeta^\ast(z)$. Note that for $\mathrm{Re}(z)>1$, $\zeta^\ast(z)=\zeta(z)$.
For all $z\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{1\}$, define
$$
\zeta_n(z)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k^z}-\frac{1}{1-z}n^{1-z}\tag{2}
$$
Note that each $\zeta_n$ is analytic and equation $(1)$ says that
$$
\zeta_n(z)=\zeta^\ast(z)+\frac12n^{-z}+O\left(zn^{-1-z}\right)\tag{3}
$$
which says that for $\mathrm{Re}(z)>0$,
$$
\lim_{n\to\infty}\zeta_n(z)=\zeta^\ast(z)\tag{4}
$$
and the convergence is uniform on compact subsets of $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{1\}$. Thus, the $\zeta^\ast(z)$ defined in $(4)$ is analytic and agrees with $\zeta(z)$ for $\mathrm{Re}(z)>1$. Thus, $\zeta^\ast(z)$ is the analytic continuation of $\zeta(z)$ for $\mathrm{Re}(z)>0$.

Application to $\boldsymbol{|\zeta(1+is)|}$
Therefore, using $(1)$, we get that
$$
\zeta(1+it)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k^{1+it}}+\frac{1}{it}n^{-it}-\frac{1}{2n}n^{-it}+O\left(\frac{t}{n^2}\right)\tag{5}
$$
So as long as $n\ge|t|$, we get that
$$
\zeta(1+it)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k^{1+it}}+O\left(\frac1t\right)\tag{6}
$$
Using the Euler-Maclaurin Sum formula again, we get that
$$
\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1k=\log(n)+\gamma+O\left(\frac1n\right)\tag{7}
$$
Letting $n=\lceil|t|\rceil$, and using $(6)$ and $(7)$, we get for large $|t|$,
$$
|\zeta(1+it)|\le\log(|t|)+C\tag{8}
$$


Manitoba Liberal Party Leader Rana Bokhari is stepping down, according to a news release issued by the party on Saturday.
"It is on that positive note, that I have informed the Manitoba Liberal Party Executive that I will not be leading the MLP into the next election," she is quoted as saying.
This comes less than three weeks after three Liberal candidates were elected as MLAs in the Manitoba provincial election, when Brian Pallister's Progressive Conservative Party won a record-breaking majority in the province.
Closely following the election, Bokhari announced she had no intention to step down. In fact, she said, she hadn't ever considered quitting.
"Now is not the time to disrupt anything, we've got to keep moving forward," Bokhari said on April 21.
But on Saturday, the statement said Bokhari plans to resume practicing law once a new party leader is elected.
Until then, she will stay on as the Manitoba Liberal Party's interim leader.
"Over the coming months as we transition into an even more exciting phase and elect a new leader, I will be working with the Liberal caucus and the Liberal Party Executive to ensure that the leadership transition is smooth and constructive," she is quoted as saying in the news release.
"As interim leader, I will work with the entire Liberal team, to continue to engage with our supporters, to fundraise and build our capacity for the new leader who will lead us to even greater success in 2020."

Castle Air Museum, opened in 1981, is located in Atwater, California, adjacent to Castle Airport, a former United States Air Force Strategic Air Command base. The museum's collection encompasses over seventy restored vintage military aircraft ranging from pre-WWII to present on approximately twenty acres of beautifully maintained grounds.
Some of the museum's highlights include the: Avro Vulcan B. Mk.2, Douglas R5D-4 Skymaster, Douglas B-18 Bolo, Boeing B-47E Stratojet, North American B-45A Tornado, Kaman HH-43B Huskie, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, McDonnell Douglas VC-9C Presidential Transport, Martin EB-57A Canberra/Intruder, Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and a Bell H-13 Army Helicopter. The museum also houses one of the only five surviving B-36 bombers, the Convair RB-36H Peacemaker.
You can view interiors of selected aircraft during periodic Open House events. During these events, volunteers who restore and maintain the aircraft are also available to answer any questions.
In addition to the outdoor displays, Castle Air Museum also has an indoor collection of aviation memorabilia including aircraft engines, military uniforms, historic photos, and personal artifacts from the past century.
In 2013 the museum received a retired McDonnell Douglas VC-9C that served the administrations of Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush. Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton flew on the plane as Air Force One. It was also used by many vice presidents, first ladies, cabinet members and both domestic and foreign dignitaries.
The museum's collection keeps growing every year and will soon be expanded with the addition of the Lockheed C-130A Hercules, Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star and the Convair YB-58A Hustler, the first supersonic bomber used by the USAF.
It is also worth mentioning that parts of the Bombers B-52 movie depicting the introduction of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber into the Strategic Air Command (SAC) inventory during the 1950s were filmed at the former Castle Air Force Base.
I want to see photos of the Dauntless Hell Diver (SB2C) Not very many know that it was the only dive bomber used in the pacific in the last year & half of the war. I only know of 2 that have been restored and you rarely see them in the movies. My father was shot down twice flying them.
Once I have a chance to visit the National Air and Space Museum or the West Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force I will definitely post photos of the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver!
