This quote from David McLay Kidd is at the center of our latest "Talking GolfGetaways with Mitch & Darin" as the hosts explore the fine line between truly fun courses and those that may tip the scales into crazy-difficult territory. Kidd has been on a journey throughout his career, beginning with acclaimed Bandon Dunes and then moving on to projects such as Scotland's Castle Course and Oregon's Tetherow, only to come full circle (and maybe beyond) to build his latest, ultra-playable creation in Washington state.
With playability in mind, Mitch and Darin dive into a conversation that compares and contrasts such destination golf courses as the Pacific Northwest's Gamble Sands vs. Chambers Bay, Lake Michigan's Whistling Straits vs. Arcadia Bluffs and Scotland's Castle Stuart vs. Royal Dornoch. Plus they talk about the late Mike Strantz's design at Tobacco Road in North Carolina — and how playing courses from multiple sets of tees can enhance the golf experience.
And for even more creativity, Darin recounts his preview look at The Loop, Tom Doak's reversible design at Forest Dunes in Michigan — perhaps the most mind-boggling 18-hole (or 36-hole) course in America.

• gain the practical skills needed for your career.
• train in the industry you wish to work.
• be in paid employment, and earning while learning.
Intermediate Apprenticeships develop the essential skills needed for a particular career. They are equivalent to five GCSEs at Grades A*-C / 9-5 and the majority of apprentices start at this level. If you've studied A Levels for example, and wish to train to become a chef, you'll need to study at this level in order to develop the essential skills and techniques required by the catering industry. If you do not have GCSEs in English and maths at Grade A*-C / 9-5, you'll also develop your maths and English skills through Functional Skills qualifications.
Designed to develop skills and understanding at a higher level, Advanced Apprenticeships are equivalent to A Level studies. You can start an Advanced Apprenticeship if you have already completed an Intermediate Apprenticeship in a related area and are in a relevant job role.
Higher Apprenticeships combine advanced level skills with higher education qualifications. Available at Levels 4 and 5 (equivalent to a Higher National Certificate, Higher National Diploma or Foundation Degree) they are highly rewarding. You will need to have completed an Advanced Apprenticeship, or related Level 3 qualification, and be in a relevant job role to start a Higher Apprenticeship.
If you want to study a bachelor's or master's degree, gain invaluable on-the-job training in your chosen career and earn a salary, a Degree Apprenticeship is for you! You will study for a degree as the primary part of your Apprenticeship and as the course costs are met by your employer or the Government, you will have no tuition fees to pay.


Baptism (from the Greek noun βάπτισμα baptisma; see below) is a Christian sacrament of admission and adoption, almost invariably with the use of water, into the Christian Church.
Baptism (from the Greek noun βάπτισμα baptisma; see below) is a Christian rite of admission and adoption, almost invariably with the use of water, into Christianity. The synoptic gospels recount that John the Baptist baptized Jesus. Baptism is considered a sacrament in most churches, and as an ordinance in others. Baptism is also called christening, although some reserve the word "christening" for the baptism of infants. It has also given its name to the Baptist churches and denominations.


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1011 is to be kept in Hall-07 at Site-35. Two guards are to be present at all times at the entrance to Hall-07 to prevent the removal of SCP-1011. The D-class population working on Site-35 as a part of currently running experiments is suspended from monthly termination schedule due to the extended length of time needed to study the effects of SCP-1011. As material produced during the experiment appears to lack anomalous properties, its use is approved for non-critical applications as defined in document CSG-0371-N.
Description: SCP-1011 is a statue approximately 2 m tall, weighing approximately 4200 kg, depicting a worker whose head has been replaced by an assortment of tools. The pedestal bears an inscription stating "Man is the most important means of production," and the year of casting is stated to be 1927. Material analysis has revealed the composition to be ordinary cast iron with 2.3 wt% carbon content.
SCP-1011's anomalous properties manifest when it is seen by human subjects who will engage in productive labor no later than three hours after the sighting, and escalate slowly with additional exposure. Denial of exposure to SCP-1011 has been shown sufficient to halt the progress of the condition.
During stage I, subjects, designated SCP-1011-1, will begin to demonstrate a heightened sense of morale and satisfaction, voluntarily working longer hours and paying increased attention to their task. As the phase progresses, SCP-1011-1 cease activities other than work, sleep, and satisfying basic bodily needs.
After approximately ██ months, stage II is marked by the SCP-1011-1 initially beginning to show reluctance to use means of personal safety, such as helmets, gloves or safety glasses. When questioned, SCP-1011-1 respond finding them "unnecessary" and "binding". As the phase progresses, SCP-1011-1 also slowly cease to utilize tools, favoring the use of their own body even at risk of minor damage. This phase lasts for approximately ██ further months.
The onset of stage III is marked by insomnia in SCP-1011-1. Instead they congregate within eyesight of SCP-1011, and cease movement, staring at it for 3 hours a day average. The effects of stage II progress with an almost complete abandonment of tool and machine use by SCP-1011-1, with them often acting in groups to replace lost functionality. Bodily deformations appear on SCP-1011-1 at this stage, which tend to facilitate their tasks. SCP-1011-1 at this stage have a marked resistance to pain. This stage lasts indefinitely.
On at least one known occasion, the condition caused by SCP-1011 progresses into stage IV - terminal stage. During this stage, SCP-1011-1 use one another as construction material, depleting the population of an afflicted factory in a matter of days. Despite extensive experimentation with possible triggers, attempts to initiate terminal stage among the D-class population of Site-35 have been unsuccessful.
Recovery Log: SCP-1011 came into attention of the Foundation at ████████ Steelworks of 28th October, Bashkir ASSR, RSFSR, Soviet Union (currently Site-35) on ██/██/1947, after an inspection was mandated as a part of price-awarding procedure due to the consistent exceeding of production targets1 (see Addendum 1011-1). However, before containment by the Foundation could be attempted, the entire site was taken off limits by agents of Division "P" (Psychotronics), GRU - at around this time stage IV had apparently occurred (see Addendum 1011-2 for a leaked report section).
Following the dissolution of USSR in 1991, Foundation agents persuaded the government of Russian Federation to decommission and sell the site to a Foundation front-end for [REDACTED] dollars, and Site-35 was established around it.
The directing committee of [REDACTED] welcomed me cordially, however I couldn't help but notice a marked lack of focus and erratic behaviour on their part. Comrade M████████ kept talking about what a marvelous effect the statue that has been installed in the hall during the last 5-year plan has had on worker morale, and what a work of socialist art it is, and urged me to see it as soon as possible. On the other hand, comrade T███████ constantly filled in assorted forms, with what appeared to be just his finger, though I might be mistaken.
The conditions in the main foundry are unfitting for the basic dignity of socialist man. Men barehandedly handle red-hot ingots, their hands black and shriveled, others pound rivets into sheet metal with their heads; I have seen two men use the back of third to saw through a log, his back covered in sharp ridges not found on a healthy person. They seem to feel no discomfort, and smile eagerly at every visitor. About a [DATA EXPUNGED] wire acted as a human lifting mechanism of sorts - when five of them fell into the molten metal, another replaced them within moments. Comrade M████████ , who was my guide on the tour didn't appear to find any wrongs with the present arrangement, answering a few of my questions reluctantly, then continuing to extol the virtues of the statue.
I request immediate shutdown of operations at ████████ Steelworks of 28th October, its quarantining and further investigation. Despite the exceptional effort needed towards the rebuilding of our Motherland, this is decisively not the path we are to take. Furthermore, the observed could be signs of sabotage as per the recent circulatory detailing min[DATA EXPUNGED].
Upon arrival, the site appeared to be deserted. The offices were empty, no sight of either the directors or the party committee. The hall containing the object contained several piles of clothing and some [DATA EXPUNGED] but otherwise nothing notable. Lieutenant N████ appeared overly disturbed and obsessed by it, but I managed to force him to follow on.
In the main foundry we found 94 of produced ingots, the last 15 of which having a distinct texture. Scraping one with my knife revealed considerable softness of the material and I was able to dislodge bone-like segments. The furnace was cooled, inspection revealed it containing remains of blood and scraps of tissue, however [DATA EXPUNGED]stency. Large segments of the rolling and extrusion assembly were replaced by severely [DATA EXPUNGED] apparently expired.
encountered one of the former workers, He lacked clothing and his ana[DATA EXPUNGED]. Ignored questioning and kept repeating "Job's done." He was detained for further questioning.
1. Sources indicate SCP-1011 has been installed in ████████ Steelworks of 28th October during late 1944, being found in the inventory of [REDACTED] during its bombing by the Wehrmacht on ██/██/1944. No previous records seem to exist of its inventarisation, delivery, or ordering.

Q: TS2611: 'foo' is defined as a property in class 'A', but is overridden here in 'B' as an accessor I am facing a Typescript compilation error in my Angular app. Following is the sample code and error message.
Would you please guide me to suppress this error. I think this code is correct as per the Javascript.
- error TS2611: 'foo' is defined as a property in class 'A', but is overridden here in 'B' as an accessor.

export class A {
  foo: string;
}

export class B extends A {
  f1;
  set foo(name) {
    this.f1 = name;
  }
  get foo() {
    return this.f1;
  }
}

Editor's note: in the comments it emerged that both classes A and B are in third-party libraries.

A: Another way to do this is to create an abstract class that you can use to extend your sub-classes.
I use an interface then an abstract then extend it in my final class like so with the accessors (get/set).
In the interface you will define your properties. However, if you're going to use accessors (get/set) you need to create an abstract. I would do this only on data type classes where you store and retrieve data against a class.
The example below can be found here Typescript playground example with interface, abstract, extend
interface IQuote {

    qty: number,
    rate: number | string,
    total ? : number | string
}

abstract class AQuote implements IQuote {
  abstract set qty(x: number);
  abstract get qty(): number;
  abstract set rate(x: number | string);
  abstract get rate(): number | string;
  abstract set total(x: number | string);
  abstract get total(): number | string

  protected abstract updateTotal(): void
  abstract getTotalNum(): number

}

class quote extends AQuote {

  constructor(obj: IQuote) {
    super()
    this.qty = obj.qty
    this.rate = obj.rate
  }

  set qty(v: number) {
    this._qty = v;
    this.updateTotal()
  }

  get qty() {
    return this._qty;

  }

  set rate(v: number | string) {
    this._rate = Number(v);
    this.updateTotal()
  }

  get rate() {
    return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-GB', {
      style: 'currency',
      currency: 'GBP'
    }).format(Number(this._rate))
  }

  set total(v: number | string) {
    this._total = Number(v);
  }

  get total(): number | string {
    return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-GB', {
      style: 'currency',
      currency: 'GBP'
    }).format(Number(this._total))
  }

  getTotalNum() {
    return Number(this._total)
  }

  protected updateTotal() {
    this.total = Number(this._rate) * Number(this._qty)
  }

  private _qty: number = 1;
  private _rate: number | string = 1;
  private _total ? : number | string = (Number(this._rate) * this._qty);

}

class QuoteArray extends Array < quote > {

  getTotals(): number {
    let totalFigure: number = 0
    this.forEach(o => {
      totalFigure = totalFigure + o.getTotalNum()
    });
    return totalFigure
  }

}

let arry: QuoteArray = new QuoteArray();

arry.push(new quote({
  qty: 2,
  rate: 5
}))

arry.push(new quote({
  qty: 3,
  rate: 5
}))
arry.push(new quote({
  qty: 3,
  rate: 5
}))
arry.push(new quote({
  qty: 3,
  rate: 5
}))
arry.push(new quote({
  qty: 3,
  rate: 5
}))

console.log(arry);

console.log(arry.getTotals())

The example above creates an Array of quotes that I can manipulate like an array but I have also extended the Array type to give me method called getTotals() so that it prints out a formatted currency.

A: The error message is correct as there is a subtle bug here. When you define a property in a parent class, the property is created automatically for every one of its sub-classes.
So, in the code you wrote, had you not written for class B: set/get foo(name) { ... } the class would have had the foo property anyway since the property is declared in B's parent class - A.
In your code you're actually clobbering the foo property declared in A with the accessor declarations.
If you want to require all sub-classes of A to declare their own foo property (similar to an interface), then try:
export class A {
  abstract foo: string;
}

A: It is usual behavior in programming languages, when you inherit from parent you can't use same variable/function/accessor names until you specify that new one override old one, but always this must be the same type. So in your example we have variable in parent and accessor in child. You can do this change:
class A {
  _foo: string = "";
  set foo(name) {
    this._foo = name;
  }
  get foo() {
    return this._foo;
  }
}

export class B extends A {
  f1: any;
  set foo(name) {
    this.f1 = name;
  }
  get foo() {
    return this.f1;
  }
}

I believe there is some way to omit type limitations (if you have to) but I don't know how and I think that is not good way (program should be clear for reader).

A: As someone posted already, this is newly enforced error checking in TS 4 (see here)
However, since you're dealing entirely with 3rd-party libraries, your solution is limited to probably these options:

*

*See if you can upgrade that 3rd-party library to a newer version, compatible with your version of typescript

*Fork that library and make the fixes (create a PR for the author to review). Use your fork for now instead of the library.

*Downgrade typescript to a version where this error checking is optional

A: Its seems there are cases where you cannot disable this error.
"Typescript cannot distinguish property from accessor in d.ts"
You can follow the discussion at:  https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/41347
Fixed/Merged 2022/05/31; but not yet released [as of typescript@4.7.4]

A: If you're really sure that your implementation is correct then you can disable the check by putting // @ts-nocheck line at the top of the ts file.
@ts-nocheck in TypeScript Files

Watch through until the end to see an awkward handshake.
Last night's episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert featured a musical performance by The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, Nintendo's touring orchestra dedicated to the adventure series. Watch the video below to see the group perform never-before-heard music from upcoming Nintendo 3DS game The Legend of Zelda: TriForce Heroes, as well as the main theme that you're surely familiar with.
It's a nice video, and the music of course is great. But the video's caption on YouTube may not sit well with everyone. It reads: "Rejoice, nerds! This is the music that awaits you in heaven." Also, be sure to stick through to the end to see an awkward handshake between Colbert and the symphony conductor.
TriForce Heroes launches on October 23, while the Symphony of the Goddesses tour is currently running across the US and Europe. The 2016 leg of the tour, Master Quest, was just announced this week. Check out the symphony's complete touring schedule here.
Zelda's appearance on The Late Show marks the third time video games have been represented on the program, following PewDiePie and No Man's Sky developer Sean Murray's appearances earlier in October.

Medieval Town by Water
After a painting by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (original painting destroyed by fire)
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Medieval_Town_By_Water.png
Ezra Pound in one of his saner moments said, "Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand." Books work magic, it is not clear how, not to me anyway, but that is the nature of magic, perhaps the definition of magic itself, something marvelous that defies definition. Reading, or appreciating art of any kind, does not make us better people; some of the worst people that have ever lived had very profound artistic sensibilities. They read the best books, listened to the best music, were moved by the best paintings and sculptures. This ability to appreciate the sublime added depth to their experience of life, but it did not make them good people. It enriched their experience; it did not impact on their humanity. Of course it can also be said that many of the most humane people that ever lived had this same experience of the sublime. It may be that those that brought virtue to their experience of the sublime experienced and understood more fully and more deeply, but that is something that cannot be known with any certainty.
When I look at the painting above I wonder what the original looked like. I am saddened that it has been destroyed because I find the copy so moving. Perhaps the painting that lives in my imagination is not only finer than the copy, but finer than the original as well (as far as that goes, the copy may be finer than the original for all that anyone can know). There was an article in the Boston Globe, "Well worth not reading," about the books we imagine based on the blurbs on the back cover, or the cover illustration, or a sampling of the text. It is about the books we have encountered but have not read. I am not sure I like this article as much as I imagined I would when I began to understand its premise, though I do think there is truth to it. It is a bit unsettling perhaps for someone who teaches others to read books to contemplate the advantages of not reading them, but it must be owned that there are many books that I have read that did not live up to the expectations created by the first impressions they made. I am glad though that I gave them the opportunity to speak their piece.
The music suggests our first experience with stories, the fairy tale story of the princess and the prince, and the audience for stories, the common man. Though Scheherazade's princesses and princes often behaved as princesses and princes should, those of the Brothers Grimm and other tellers of folk tales often behaved as though their origins were a bit more humble. When as children we read fairy tales that involved royalty we often looked at those "royals" as though they were just like us that there was not much difference between the pauper and the prince and at some level this is what lies at the heart of any good story, it is what makes the story attractive. It may not be a belief that we and they are the same but it is a belief that we and they share a common humanity and we have something to learn from how they encounter the world.
A portrait of Samuel Johnson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Samuel_Johnson_by_Joshua_Reynolds_2.png
The painting above is of Samuel Johnson, one of the English Language's finest professional readers. In the painting he is reading intently, but according to the blurb accompanying the painting this was in part to dispel the image of "blinking Sam," it was to offer a "counter-narrative" to one that was current at the time. But it makes one wonder, or at least it makes me wonder, why do we read? Because Samuel Johnson was who Samuel Johnson was it also makes me wonder why we analyze what we read? Is literary criticism something readers do to understand a text or does it superimpose the reader's vision on that of the writer? What makes some readers more "authoritative" readers than others, that is, why do we give more weight to the judgments drawn from the reading done by some than to that done by others?
There was a series of articles recently in the New York Times (I looked at these three, "The Will Not to Power, but to Self-Understanding," "Translating the Code Into Everyday Language," and "From the Critical Impulse, the Growth of Literature") about literary criticism and its usefulness. The articles addressed meanings of literary texts and the like, but the main conclusion they all seemed to come to was that criticism contributes to a literate culture in that it provides a platform for discussing literature, its deeper meaning, and its impact on the culture at large. I enjoyed all of the articles but I was intrigued by Elif Batuman's applying Freud's method of interpreting dreams to the interpretation of literature or at least that aspect of Freud's thinking that recognized the complexity of dreams and the multiplicity of possible meanings that they contain. According to Batuman this same dynamic is at work in our analysis of stories.

http://www.vangoghgallery.com/catalog/Watercolor/1816/Farmer-Sitting-at-the-Fireside,-Reading.html
The painting above is of a farmer sitting by his fire reading a book. This suggests that the printed word can work its magic not only on those that do not read for a living, but those who earn their living from occupations very different from those of "professional" readers. Farmers of course, at least good farmers, are always reading the literature of their trade so it shouldn't surprise us that farmers read. But when they are reading the literature of their trade they are reading for information, not for enchantment. What are the respective values of each kind of reading, is one better than the other or do each provide their own unique kind of value? At the level at which each works they teach us how to profit from living, on the one hand how to earn a living and on the other how to spend a life in a way that is meaningful and not just productive.
Elderly Man at a WindowYves Trevedy
http://www.artinconnu.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
The paintings above and below are of an old man reading and of a young man reading. They are both engrossed and as one might expect the old man is farther along in his book than the young man, the old man is finishing his book while the young man is starting his. The old man is alone with a single book while the young man has an assortment of books propping up the book he is reading. There are perhaps some obvious metaphors that could be drawn but I'll let others draw them. What I find attractive about these paintings is the intensity that each reader brings to the reading that he is doing. The young man is described as a student in the painting's title and perhaps he is reading in the same fashion the farmer reads his agricultural journals, but perhaps not. The old man has his back to the window and to the beautiful landscape that is life as it truly is. Is the man turning his back on reality or is the reality he finds in his book more real than the one outside his window? In my experience all reading teaches and the books that capture my imagination the most intensely make the world outside my window more real and more understandable. As Pound suggests reading makes me and the world outside more intensely alive and more intensely real and comprehensible.

John Connolly in his book The Book of Lost Things says, "The stories in books hate the stories contained in newspapers, David's mother would say. Newspaper stories were like newly caught fish, worthy of attention only for as long as they remained fresh, which was not very long at all. They were like the street urchins hawking the evening editions all shouty and insistent, while stories – real stories, proper made-up stories – were like stern but helpful librarians in a well-stocked library. Newspaper stories were insubstantial as smoke, as long-lived as mayflies. They did not take root but were instead like weeds that crawled along the ground, stealing the sunlight from more deserving tales." It might be that the books we read for information are short lived, they do not deliver anything magical, they are a pragmatic bunch that teach us what we need to know to keep the pantry stocked, but the truths they tell are only true for a short time, relatively, and will in all likelihood be soon replaced with other truths.
The truths contained in stories often help us unravel the mysteries that surround who we are; they help to teach ourselves to ourselves. There was a review by Sarah Bakewell in the New York Times about the lives of great philosophers, "Lives of the Philosophers, Warts and All". The book points out that most philosophers led very muddled lives and that no matter how profound their insights, the art of living well and happily remained elusive. I am not sure that stories succeed any better at explaining life or simplifying day to day existence, but they do teach us that everyone has problems and that what really matters more than solving our problems is living with integrity while pursuing those solutions.
The film is about storytelling or more precisely perhaps being a storyteller. Ms. Shafak tells us that others try to tell her the kinds of stories she should tell, but she does not want to tell those stories. She suggests that as a writer she is pursuing in stories the same things I am as a reader of stories, she wants to explore what makes people from different backgrounds behave as they do. Modern storytelling has become a bit obsessed with the relationship between the characters in a story and the writers that create those characters; that J. D. Salinger, for example, must be a lot like Holden Caulfield, that novelists and storytellers of all stripes are actually engaged in a kind of autobiographical masquerade. When in fact most of the best storytellers from the past made little use of their personal lives. One reason some critics today do not believe Shakespeare could have written Shakespeare is because the stories Shakespeare told were so far removed from his life experience, that somehow because he had never been a nobleman he could not possibly comprehend what it was like to be one. Storytellers that cannot imagine the inner lives of characters different from themselves cannot amount to much as storytellers, their insights, like mine are all local. If I as a reader can enter the inner lives of characters different from myself as I read about them, why can't storytellers do the same as they write about them?
The painting below is of an emperor of China who was also a literary critic. It is not unusual for a monarch to be engaged in literary pursuits, the first Queen Elizabeth wrote poetry and translated Latin texts, like Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy. Alexander the great had Aristotle for a teacher. Some learned more from the literature they studied than did others, but it is difficult to imagine that even those who learned the least were not enriched by what they read. If stories do nothing else they take away our excuses. When we read we make judgments about the characters and the things the characters do. This suggests that we have an inner sense of what is just and recognize injustice when we see it; that we understand the need for compassion and recognize cruelty when we see it; that we understand the quality of mercy and recognize hardness of heart when we see it. Some of these conclusions we are led artfully to see due to the skill of the storyteller, but the fact that these virtues are so much more likely to be found in the stories we read than the vices suggests that there is something true about these virtues that resonates in all of us.

Between the Mountains and the Deep Blue Sea

From "Mohini (Enchantment)"
Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble
Inverted map of Fra Mauro (1460). Source "The Fra Mauro World map" Piero Falchetta.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:FraMauroDetailedMapInverted.jpg
The music comes from an album by Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, The Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon. It captures the essence of the exotic and the unknown. To those with an adventurous spirit there is something in the music that calls the listener to places where the music was born. Perhaps to others it just sounds foreign and unfamiliar and even, perhaps, uninteresting. There is a short story by Lord Dunsany ("Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean") that begin:
Toldees, Mondath, Arizim, these are the Inner Lands, the lands whose sentinels upon their borders do not behold the sea. Beyond them to the east there lies a desert, forever untroubled by man: all yellow it is, and spotted with shadows of stones, and Death is in it, like a leopard lying in the sun. To the south they are bounded by magic, to the west by a mountain, and to the north by the voice and anger of the Polar wind. Like a great wall is the mountain to the west. It comes up out of the distance and goes down into the distance again, and it is named Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean.
This mountain separates the inner lands from the sea. The inner lands are a land at peace protected by natural boundaries of desert and mountain and by enchantments. It is a land at peace, it is a prosperous land, it is a land whose citizens want for nothing. Yet there is this mountain and on the other side it is rumored there is the sea. But no one in the inner lands have seen the sea and those that have crossed the mountain have never returned.
It is the best and the brightest that are the most tempted by this mountain and are most likely to make the journey over it. Even the royal family and the heir apparent have been seduced by the mountain. Because the desire to cross the mountain and see the ocean has attracted so many, the people of the inner lands resent it. They go so far as to build a temple devoted to cursing this mountain.
I think this story is a fable of sorts about living in a world of change and the unknown. We can live in the relative peace and comfort of the familiar or accept the challenges and opportunities that come with accepting change and embracing the unknown. The phrase "accept change" and others like it are overused to the extent that it is no longer clear what it means. These phrases are often employed to entice people to accept things solely because they are new and different, which can create another set of problems.
The character of that which is new must be assessed, as must that of the familiar. I think that often accepting change, any change, can be a good thing because it forces us to reassess what we think and the way we do things. Elaine May once said "The only safe thing is to take a chance" and that is what those that climbed Poltarnees to get to the other side did. They took a chance. Those that made the journey safely were so entranced by what they found they had no desire to return. Or perhaps they perished. It is something that cannot be known with certainty.
In the classroom it seems that students struggle with new ideas and concepts. They often resist the stories from other times and places and are unwilling to invest the kind of time it takes to get inside the skin of those that made these stories. I think that it is interesting that elements of the Arabian Knights have found their way into European stories like Gulliver's Travels. Odysseus' struggles with the Cyclops are not that different from those of Sinbad with similar kind of creature. Critics, the last time I checked, were not certain which story came first or if they both weren't influenced by some other story that has long since perished. The point is that what interests people of all cultures in story telling is remarkably similar. The places and names are different and perhaps a bit unpronounceable to those outside the culture that tells the story, but the events and challenges are very similar.
Stories shanghai us to places we may at first be unwilling to go (the term "shanghaied" itself is taken from the practice of kidnapping sailors to places they did not want to go). And the reading of stories, especially when read with an open mind, will change the way we think and the way we look at the world around us. Story telling is at its rhetorical, it makes an argument for a different way of viewing things. We may be attracted by something in the characters and the conflicts they must resolve but we often end by assuming the point of view and attitudes of characters in the story. Our minds change and we are often unsure what has changed them.
The classical teachers of rhetoric argued that the emotional argument, not the logical or the ethical argument, was the most effective and therefore ought to be the argument of choice for orators. I read somewhere that St Augustine preferred rhetoric to logic (and by rhetoric he meant the emotional argument) because he could achieve his desired result more easily. If we can be made to feel a certain way about a thing our thoughts and opinions will often follow our feelings. When it comes to stories it seems we start by feeling a certain way about characters and what they encounter and often end up thinking the way the authors want us to about the issues and ideas the characters in the stories must confront.
This is why it is so important to read with our minds engaged and to consider what we think and feel and why we think and feel as we do after we finish reading. The same could be said of the movies we watch and the music we listen to. There is a rhetorical quality to these as well. It seems that as a culture we are becoming increasingly more passive, but perhaps it is just human nature to gravitate towards ease and it is easier to go where the story takes us than it is to consider the journey and whether we want to take it.
One purpose of education is to challenge students to question; to question the world around them, their attitudes toward the world around them, the source of their resistance to the content of the classes they take, whether they be English classes or Science classes, whether they are studying stories or the theory of evolution. The purpose of the classroom is not to produce students that think as they have been taught but students who consider and evaluate effectively what they are being encouraged to think and believe. Totalitarianism thrives more easily when the governed are a non-reflective people that prefer to accept without question what they are invited to believe.
From The Great Dictator
In this scene Charlie Chaplin's Great Dictator dances with a globe of the earth as though it were his personal plaything until the bubble bursts. The film is polemical in nature in that it is a passionate argument against war and dictatorship. In the film the Great Dictator is ultimately defeated. Whether his downfall is the result of a triumph of reason or of one emotion prevailing over another, you will have to watch the film to discover. The image of the dictator and the globe though is emotionally powerful and perhaps captures more effectively the dangers of dictatorship than a well-reasoned argument.
Nkosi Sikelel i'Afrika
Philip Sidney in his essay "In Defense of Posey" argues that lyric poetry is a powerful tool for motivating people to act. When the African National Congress was trying to overthrow the apartheid government of South Africa they would rally their supporters by singing "Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika." The song so effectively provoked a spirit of solidarity among those resisting the government that its singing was banned. Both the song and the film quickly and effectively produce a result that most would find desirable. But this result is produced by a manipulation of the emotions. The ends produced make the means acceptable but the danger is of course that the emotions could as easily have been manipulated in a different direction as might be suggested by the films of Leni Riefenstahl that documented Hitler's rise to power.
Poltarnees is perhaps the mountain that stands between what our feelings invite us to believe that our minds might question. Because emotions can easily be manipulated for the good or the bad care should be taken not to believe too quickly what our passions would endorse. Optimism and pessimism both have their place. We need a spirit of enthusiasm to make the journey and a spirit of caution not to journey too precipitously. The mountain must be climbed if we are to advance but it is the nature of a mountain to retard progress, to require a slow and deliberate assent.
The story "Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean" ends, "Once every year, with solemn rite and ceremony, they curse the tides of the Sea; and the moon looks in and hates them." It is in our nature as human beings to quest and to explore and the moon that guides us through the darkness of our uncertainty looks with disfavor on our unwillingness to make the journey.

KAYLA Zahn is proof Revolution GymSports is on the rise, making itself known in the world of gymnastics.
The move from Gladstone to Boyne Island last year has proved fruitful with Kayla, who is only 12, showing huge gains to become the highest level WAG gymnast in the club.
With ambitions of reaching state titles, Kayla is one of a number of Revolution gymnasts with the goal, all on the back of the hard work and rising credentials of the coaching staff, and of course, themselves.
"We have more accreditation and qualifications this year, and this year is the highest number of general classes ever," coach Jenny Rowland said.
"We are still building our Kindergym program too."
Hoping to have the best year yet in terms of results and numbers, Rowland has added trampoline and tumble classes to the schedule.
The ever-improving club has added four coaches to the program in what may turn out to be a breakout year for Revolution GymSports.
"We are way better than 12 months ago," Rowland said.
"We are still fundraising for a proper building too, we would like to double our space."


Sabathia has played the last 10 of his 18 Major League seasons for the Yankees.
Sabathia went 9-7 with a 3.65 ERA in 29 starts past year for a 100-win NY club that lost in the American League Division Series to the Boston Red Sox.
A team official confirmed to the Daily News that the sides were "close" to agreeing to the deal, which would return to the fold two of the three remaining Yankees who had been members of the 2009 World Championship team.
The Yankees are reportedly interested in re-signing veteran free agent J.A. Happ.
The first batch of devices to get the stable China ROM update included Mi 6X, Mi 8 SE, Mi Mix 2, Redmi Note 5, Redmi 6 series etc. Xiaomi entered the United Kingdom market by launching the Mi 8 Pro , the Mi Band 3, the Redmi 6A and the Mi Electric Scooter.
"He's been a great Yankee, and he has time on the clock still", Cashman said.
"I would think that there'll be a lot of interest in him", Cashman said. "We have (Luis Severino) and (Masahiro) Tanaka locked in".
Sonny Gray is under contract and capable of starting, but he isn't in the Yankees' plans.
"I'll play anywhere, " he said before the Yankees were eliminated by the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS "I still want to pitch". A trade could be involved and there are certainly some free agents that fit as well.


So I've been reading up on how to use variables, and how to add them tables which can then be displayed with an alias. I was wondering if there is a way to update these values from the command line.
For example, I want to have my equipment displayed in one table, such as my dirk, but if the dirk were to decay and I get a new one, is there a way to quickly update the value of the variable in the command line, as opposed to going into the actual script location and changing it there?
Permanently? On a table? Not that i know of. You could temporarily do it, but once you quit mudlet, it would default to whatever the script has. Might look into using gmcp to track the numbers. .
At the rate dirks decay, just manually change it until you save up enough for artie dirk.
You can apparently save and load tables into files.
Or you could do database stuff, but that might be a bit overly complicated.
You can make an alias to set the values when something changes, or do it from an alias that runs arbitrary lua code (like the "lua..." alias that comes with svo), and have a trigger or alias to save the table when you qq.
You should check the manual for the order of arguments for the save and load functions, I might have them backward.
I know they can be saved; the Mudlet manual is where I started reading. I'm wondering if they can be updated on-the-fly via the command bar, using Lua.
Will give this a try later tonight. Thank you.
Mudlet 3.0 has a variables view that allows doing this as well.
I need to see if I've updated my Mudlet yet.

Q: New version Kivy download I just downloaded Kivy and it is on my desktop; however, it doesn't open when i click on it. What might be the cause of this annoying problem. The application has 232 MB which tells me it has all the appropriate documents in it, but for some reason, it just doesn't open.
LLama32$ python -c "import kivy"

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named kivy

A: Wow at least I have figured out my own problem, and hopefully other noobs like me will benefit from this hour long tedious research.
So, it turned out that Kivy actually works using Cython. Unfortunately, Cython requires a C compiler on my computer to be able to function. Since I have no C compiler, (specially since I deleted Xcode from my computer as it occupies 4GB memory) I have no means to compile a C program. Now, this problem is simply resolved after downloading any GNU Compiler Collection, in my case, I re-downloaded Xcode.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 3 – 01 [First Look]
Score: B
It feels weird to start my look at winter anime with a show taking place late in the summer, but there we have it! Takagi-san returns with a pretty interesting first episode. There are a number of ways it could have tackled this episode. But I can't say that an episode of dream sequences was exactly what I expected. It was certainly an interesting way to go about it. Dream sequences are in themselves supposed to be a bit confusing and disorienting so maybe that was the plan. But it was a bit awkward at times getting into the episode when a lot of odd things were happening.
Welcome to the dream world
I would have preferred a bit steadier of an opening episode. It's been a while since this show has been around and the dream sequences jumped around a lot. That did allow them to be easily understood as dream sequences though. But it also didn't allow us to really see the main characters interact that much in reality. The first part was Nishikata basically interacting with himself and the end was the same with Takagi. It was just that bit before the ending and the middle sequence that actually had the main characters truly in it.
She just wants the confession
There is a lot that can be read into the dreams which is nice to see. Nishikata's perspective is still pretty straight forward. While there is obvious some romantic interest in Takagi, he's still far more focused on the competitive aspect more than anything else. Thus, we see his dream spiraling into getting tricked over and over again. Ending with shot back into the waking world and a great deal of confusion before he realizes it was a dream.
Takagi is a bit more self-aware. Obviously, she didn't realize it was a dream since she's not that all powerful. But she also has her desires a bit more understood. Being defeated wouldn't really be a bad thing if it's in the way she wants to lose. Getting truly surprised and confessed to would be the perfect loss in her mind. Although her own pride doesn't exactly want to lose either. Like anyone, Takagi is a bit contradictory at times. There's a long road to go before these two are truly able to move forward.
I'll also suggest that Takagi ease up on slapping sunburns. Saying she won't do it doesn't hold as much water when she does actually do it twice. The first time is a bit more permissible, since I doubt she knew for sure that he had one in that spot. Although I can't imagine she took that shot without suspecting it. The second time is just a bad call. The competition didn't actually force that. Even if she wanted to stop him from making random guesses that was a bit much when she knew that it was quite literally a sore spot.
Too amusing to ignore
This was a solid enough return to the show. I'll probably enjoy seeing them in reality though. If nothing else the staff got to go a bit crazy at times thanks to most of the episode being dreams. Whether it was silly stuff like Takagi in a cow outfit or a jack in the box turning into a fireworks display. The big thing of course is Takagi being good at her teasing game and the actual progression between the main pair. It's hard to say there was much progression since they were asleep for much of it. But the rest of the season can more than make up for that. Not sure that I'll actually cover the show this season. But I did want to acknowledge that it was back, winter has begun, and that hopefully this season will be pretty good.

King.com knows exactly how to stop other game developers from ripping off its ideas. It stands to reason, as this maker of Facebook and mobile games blatantly xeroxes classic puzzlers, re-branding them as the developer's own. The most notable King game is Candy Crush Saga, a near-clone of the 2001 PopCap-published Bejeweled.
With that history in mind, King is now on a crusade that began with an effort to stop the use of the word "Candy" in any and all game titles, and now has expanded to claim the word "Saga" in the same way. King has, despicably, filed trademarks on both of these very common English words.
One very notable independent title may suffer the most from these actions, perhaps as a high-profile example for other small developers to take note of. The Banner Saga, a tactical RPG by Stoic, was a pioneer in the beginning of the Great Kickstarter Boom of 2012. It followed closely on the heels of Double Fine Productions' historic Broken Age success, and set an example for what could be accomplished by indie developers by taking advantage of crowdfunding.
Despite these properties both being games, being distributed via similar channels, and sharing a word in common in their titles, the mere fact that the word in question is saga is cause for outrage at such action on the part of King. Video games are narrative media. A saga is a story. Even more offensive is that the world saga particularly describes an epic tale of Norse origin. The Banner Saga is a narrative game about VIKINGS!
King may as well trademark the English dictionary.
What gives King the right to trademark the word "saga," anyway? Hadn't a bunch of games already used that word before King laid its filthy hands on it? Well yes, actually. Prior to 2012, and the releases of Bubble Saga and Bubble Witch Saga — a pair of King rip-offs of the 1994 Taito classic, Puzzle Bobble, aka Bust-a-Move — around 40 games used the word "saga" in their titles. And that number only includes the ones that end in the non-compound "Saga" and use no subtitle, i.e. the ones that conform to the King naming convention. Games like Xenosaga, Marble Saga: Kororinpa, or the highly suspicious King: Darkness Saga would have padded that number to near 100.
So let's take a look at all the games and developers who should be denying King.com trademarks, shall we?
It's only fitting to begin with a game by Taito, a company King just loves to steal ideas from. Also known simply as Rastan, this fantasy action side-scroller was originally released as Rastan Saga for the arcade, and ported to numerous other platforms in Japan, Europe, and North America. After questing to slay a dragon in the first game, our barbarian warrior hero was treated to two sequels.
If you've been reading GamerNode for a while, you've probably figured out that this Enix-published Super Nintendo RPG is the reason this list even exists. As one of my personal favorite games of all time, it was special in that it featured seven protagonists who could be paired in any combination to complete the long and unforgiving campaign. Their unique abilities and the powers granted by the seven magical runes found scattered across the world helped these heroes tackle hundreds of screen-filling foes over the course of an epic…saga. Unfortunately, its sequel never left Japan.
One of the most acclaimed of the saga games, Panzer Dragoon Saga was the third game in the Panzer Dragoon series, and was released for the Sega Saturn in 1998. Its saga monicker likely stems from the fact that this was the only game in the series that was not a rail shooter. Instead, this RPG featured free-roaming exploration on foot and on the back of a dragon, along with a dynamic, semi-real-time battle system.
Unlimited Saga comes from a company that has perhaps the strongest case for a Saga trademark at all. Squaresoft (now Square-Enix) has produced a total of 10 games in the SaGa series, beginning with the Final Fantasy Legend games, followed by the Romancing SaGa games, the SaGa Frontier games, and finally Unlimited Saga before going to social networks with Emperors SaGa. Like many of the SaGa games before it, Unlimited Saga was met with middling reviews. Unlike those games, it traded free exploration with its board-game-like "Map Movement System," thought it stuck to a more traditional turn-based combat system. The team that developed the SaGa games went on to create The Last Remnant for Xbox 360 and PC.
This PSP RPG had such a perfect title for a Bejeweled clone, it's a wonder King didn't figure out a way to steal it. Crimson Gem Saga featured turn-based combat, field-visible enemies, a quest list to guide players through the story, and respectable writing and voice-acting, with some truly entertaining character interactions. One great thing about Crimson Gem Saga is that it never took itself too seriously. King could learn a heck of a lot from this game.
Dynasty Saga is a free-to-play, massively multiplayer strategy game. It's playable via Facebook, and has both iOS and Android apps, as well. City-building and real-time battle elements are balanced to let players get into the action quickly, and the game features both PvP and PvE components to present a well-rounded experience for its genre. Notably, it eschews the typical Playskool aesthetic and incessant single-path guidance that make many free-to-play strategy games a nightmare.
Every single one of the games listed above came well before King.com made a splash with the completely unoriginal Bubble Saga. So then, King, remind us all again, who's entitled to the rights to that word?
Here's the title of MY new game: STFU and GTFO…Saga.

El Aeropuerto Internacional de Dakar-Yoff / Léopold Sédar Senghor  es una instalación aérea internacional en Dakar, Senegal.

Este aeropuerto de nombre inusualmente largo y muchos de los principales aeropuertos de Senegal, pueden manejar aviones tan grandes como los Boeing 747. Solía ser uno de los cinco aeropuertos principales de la ahora difunta aerolínea multinacional Air Afrique. El aeropuerto fue renombrado (desde Dakar-Yoff) como Léopold Sédar Senghor, un famoso poeta que fue presidente de Senegal de 1960 a 1980, y murió en 2001.

En 2007 el aeropuerto brindó servicios a unos  pasajeros.

Delta Airlines comenzó sus operaciones entre Atlanta y Johannesburgo el 4 de diciembre de 2006, con una escala técnica en Dakar, convirtiéndose en la única gran aerolínea estadounidense en volar al continente africano.

El 25 de mayo de 2007, Patrick Smith (columnista), autor de la conocida columna 'Ask the Pilot' (Pregunta al piloto), lo calificó como el 'Peor Aeropuerto del Mundo', comentando que había encontrado en él 'solo mugre, una desagradable sensación de confinamiento y hasta cierto punto peligroso'.

Era uno de los lugares de aterrizaje de la lanzadera espacial hasta que se decidió que la pendiente en la pista podría dañar la lanzadera durante el aterrizaje.

Las recopilaciones de la guía preliminar de África del Oeste, afirman que "los controles de la zona de arribos son sumamente relajados, con muchos 'porteros' que lo hace más efectivo", y que el aeropuerto dispone de más y mejores instalaciones que la mayoría de aeropuertos del oeste de África, incluyendo cáterin, un cajero y un centro de negocios.

Estadísticas

Alquiler de coche
Varias compañías de alquiler de coches están asentadas en el aeropuerto como son  Hertz, Europcar, y otras.

Accidentes
 El 29 de agosto de 1960, el vuelo 343 de Air France se estrelló mientras intentaba aterrizar en el aeropuerto de Dakar-Yoff durante los preliminares de lo que sería el Huracán Donna. Los 63 pasajeros y tripulantes que iban a bordo resultaron muertos.

In their bid to respond to the needs of urgent care offered in imaging centres and physician's practices, Carestream's most recent version of Image Suite Software provides a flexible imaging acquisition platform suitable for processing and storing data. Capable of supporting the company's CARESTREAM wireless DR and their CR imaging systems as well as an optional mini-PACS, the newest Image Suite includes Web-based patient scheduling in addition to image review and reporting, and provides flexible archiving options.
Available worldwide, the software is perfect for urgent care centres, imaging clinics and a wide spectrum of physicians and specialists, including podiatrists, chiropractors and orthopaedists.
Heidi McIntosh, Carestream's Global Marketing Manager for X-ray Solutions, decribes their latest platform as a flexible solution for customers wishing to transfer from CR to DR, or from film to digital imaging. By offering the same user interface and workflow for both modalities, Carestream's software reduces training time via a seamless transition. McIntosh goes on to say that an upgrade to DR technology is a minimal investment for existing Image Suite users due to the fact that the same console and software platforms can be kept by enhancing it with a DR detector and the relevant license.
In addition to the current support of the DIRECTVIEW systems, the software now provides for images captured by Carestream's wireless DR systems using the DRX and the tethered TDR detectors, too.
Progressive reading and reporting tools are delivered via Carestream's optional mini-PACS along with compatibility on mobile tablets such as iPads, however this availability is exclusive to certain countries outside of the US. A broad variety of specialty measurement tools including Lippman-Cobb angle, goniometry and coxometry are also supported.
Further innovative Image Suite software upgrades include the transfer support of images to OrthoView™ software for orthopaedic pre-operative templating and planning.
By featuring original CARESTREAM OmniLink Software it can securely transmit Web-based imaging studies and deliver many of the abilities of a virtual private network at a fraction of the cost usually associated with these systems. Rapid transmission speeds are offered, enhancing the sharing of images through high-level security features by compressing and encrypting files for transmission.
Equipped with a notification system, the software can alert sender and receiver when an imaging study is transmitted. Image transfers to a PACS of healthcare facilities outside of the US is supported through the use of cell phones or mobile devices.
Image Suite systems offer DICOM storage for MR, CT and ultrasound exams, and reports attached to studies can be created, edited and viewed thanks to the reporting software. Imaging exams can be output to CD/DVDs, DICOM printers and other PACS systems, and by purchasing PACS, image sharing and vendor-neutral archiving on a pay-per-use basis with Vue for Cloud-Based Services capital investment can be reduced for imaging services providers regardless of their budget.

By 2035 the kitchen as we know it will be no more. Instead, finds Stephen Todd, many of the cook zone's essentials and utilities could well be scattered through the rest of our homes.
I live in a kitchen. Well, a cottage really, that was once a working kitchen – an adjunct to a country homestead; an external structure which housed the wood-burning stoves that kept the farmers nourished and warm. Today, I chop trees myself, for heat. Our electricity is solar, the water is bored, the compost bins on the track to the vegetable patch. (I've had zero luck with pumpkins, but a distant neighbour excels at them – so we exchange my chillies for his squash.) The fresh water pond is a swan dive from my back door, the garden predominantly native. Coffee grounds become fertiliser, recycling is systemic, foods kept fresh in a meshed meat safe dating from the middle of last century.
In many ways, my 'kitchen cottage' seems to resemble a blueprint for the kitchen of the future.

A Critical Introduction to Scientific Realism [9781472575906]
What are the reasons for believing scientific theories to be true? The contemporary debate around scientific realism exposes questions about the very nature of scientific knowledge. A Critical Introduction to Scientific Realism explores and advances the main topics of the debate, allowing epistemologists to make new connections with the philosophy of science. Moving from its origins in logical positivism to some of the most recent issues discussed in the literature, this critical introduction covers the no-miracles argument, the pessimistic meta-induction and structural realism. Placing arguments in their historical context, Paul Dicken approaches scientific realism debate as a particular instance of our more general epistemological investigations. The recurrent theme is that the scientific realism debate is in fact a pseudo-philosophical question. Concerned with the methodology of the scientific realism debate, Dicken asks what it means to offer an epistemological assessment of our scientific practices. Taking those practices as a guide to our epistemological reflections, A Critical Introduction to Scientific Realism fills a gap in current introductory texts and presents a fresh approach to understanding a crucial debate.

Montara Group joins wellness travel trend
Category: Development, Hospitality, Infrastructure, Property Market, Research
PHUKET: With the rise of medical tourism, Montara Hospitality Group is branching out from luxury resorts and developing a new wellness resort and residence worth 6.6 billion baht in Phuket.
Chief executive Kittisak Pattamasaevi said medical tourism is becoming a trend in Thailand as there are many Joint Commission International-accredited hospitals in the country.
The company wants to focus on a slightly different concept — proactive wellness of mind and body.
The project, called Tri Vananda, is located on a 600-rai plot in Pru Champa, Thalang district, 10 kilometres from its existing resort Trisara.
"Wellness is the future of travel," he said.
"Tourists will have longer stays and spend more on wellness tourism when compared with traditional travel. The repeat visit rate for this type of travel is also higher."
The project's plot was formerly an old mine, which is now used for gardens and farms to provide trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables to Trisara.
With the concept of an integrated wellness community, the project's first phase covers 300 rai and comprises 77 pool villas for sale as part of resort accommodations and a wellness centre.
The 77 villas range in size from 1-4 bedrooms, from 138-671 square metres on a plot sized 75-580 sq wah.
Prices for these projects range between 16.5 to 109 million baht for a 90-year leasehold contract.
Six units at the project have been booked by three expats from Hong Kong, two expats residing in Thailand and a Thai customer.
The wellness facilities feature consultation rooms, physiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment rooms, traditional Thai medicine treatment rooms, a cognitive health centre and facilities for health diagnostics.
"The wellness centre, which will be a residential community, will open in July this year to support owners and guests at Trisara," said Mr Kittisak, 34, the second son of Narong, the group's chairman.
"We will create a programme fit for all generations."
He said Tweenie Club is planned for kids aged 8-13, the first such club in Thailand.
The club aims to educate kids about nutrition, meditation and mindfulness, as young children are easily corrupted by the digital world, said Mr Kittisak.
He joined the business six years ago and said before the pandemic, 95% of guests were foreigners and the average occupancy rate was 70%.
However, since the second quarter of last year, 90% of guests are Thai and room rates have been cut by half to 15,000 baht.
"Before Covid-19 hit, we thought occupancy at a wellness resort would take at least five years to ramp up, which is longer than the two years for a general resort," said Mr Kittisak.
However, the break-even period for a wellness resort has turned out to be shorter, he said.
The resort at Tri Vananda is set to open in early 2023 and the group expects to sell all villas by mid-2022.

The Thief in Old School D&D
The Thief in old school editions of Dungeons & Dragons has been picked apart and written about at length elsewhere, but because I have been running B/X D&D with the intent of hewing as close to the rules as written as possible, I've been thinking about thieves a lot lately. So I'm throwing my hat into the ring with this Thief post, as much to solidify my understanding of the class as anything else. It might be impossible to reach definitive conclusions about anything in early D&D, mostly because the attitude around the game was very much "do what you want with it," but as someone interested in rules and game systems, I think it is worth digging into the nitty gritty. This is less an essay or a statement about how I think the Thief should be run, and more of an exploration of my current interpretation.

Sarah Engelland stars as an eccentric, imaginative and mischievous character inspired by Audrey Tautou in "Amélie", the romantic French comedy of film Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Photographed by Benjamin Kanarek for SCMP Post Magazine.
Sarah walks in the footsteps of her heroine along the Montmartre village of Abbesses and Lepic, in Paris, wearing Haute Couture pieces from Fall-Intern 2016-2017 season.
Starting at Pépone fish market in Guo Pei, she takes a ride on the Carrousel at Place des Abbesses in Valentino. She bumps into the cute and charming Little Miss Macheto in front of the Hotel Basss, where she recites a couple of nursery rhymes, then brings her laundry to the Lavomatic Burq in Maison Margiela. Picks up her dry cleaning wearing Chanel then heads over to Epicerie du Terroir a traditional French food shop wearing Dior, then back to her evening shift at Le Café des 2 Moulins. After work and before heading home, she picks up some fruit at the G20 grocery store.
There is never a dull moment in the day of the life of our Amélie.

New research has revealed looking tired can have a serious effect on your social life.
Getting enough sleep might be the single most important thing you can do for your health – and your looks – that really doesn't take too much effort.
It's long been known that sleep deprivation affects performance, but it can also affect how people perceive you too, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Stockholm found people who'd slept badly over a couple of nights were considered "significantly" less attractive, and were less liked by others.
The study asked 25 university students to get a good nights' sleep for two nights in a row, then sleep only four hours a night for two nights the week after.
The psychologists took photos of the students after both the good and bad nights' sleep – make-up free of course so nothing was hidden.
The photos were then shown to 122 strangers who were asked to rate the people in terms of attractiveness, sleepiness, trustworthiness, health, and friendliness.
The couple of nights' bad sleep didn't affect trustworthiness, but raters said they didn't feel as inclined to socialise with the sleep-deprived because they considered them "significantly" less attractive and less healthy.
The research suggests people who look tired can be perceived as sick and because we're evolved to avoid disease, our instinct is to keep our distance.
Lead researcher John Axelsson said making you sure you get enough sleep is important but if you've had a bad night, it's not the end of the world.

Buritis é um município brasileiro do estado de Minas Gerais.

História

Até 7 de setembro de 1923, Buritis era um distrito do município de Paracatu, mas a lei estadual nº 843 transferiu-o para São Romão. Essa configuração permaneceu até 31 de dezembro de 1943, quando a lei estadual nº 1.058 desmembrou-o de São Romão e o anexou a Unaí.

Buritis foi elevado à categoria de município pela lei estadual nº 2764, de 30 de dezembro de 1962, com sede no antigo distrito de Buritis, desmembrando de Unaí o antigo distrito; em 1 de março de 1963 foi instalado o município.

Índios e escravizados
Buritis, antes Vila de Sant'Anna de Buritis, já foi habitado por tribos indígenas, como os tupis, os guaranis e os caiapós, entre outros, antes da colonização da América pelos europeus. Muitos escravos também habitaram o município desde início, posteriormente, com a lei Áurea foram alforriados. "(...) a abolição da escravatura em 13 de maio de 1888. Supostamente, o Arraial do Burithy ainda possuía para mais de 250 escravos que aos poucos, iam tomando novos rumos por esse imenso sertão afora. (...)".

Etimologia
O município tem esse nome porque o povoado fica ao lado da "Veredinha", que possuía em sua volta uma grande quantidade de pés de coco buriti em áreas alagadas brejosas — as "veredas" mencionadas no livro Grande Sertão: Veredas, de João Guimarães Rosa.

Geografia
O município situa-se, em Minas Gerais divisa com Goiás. Possui em sua extensão uma parte do Planalto Central do Brasil. Está bem próximo do Distrito Federal, a 213 km de Brasília. Por esta razão o município de Buritis é um dos três municípios (ao lado de Unaí e Cabeceira Grande) de Minas Gerais que integra a Região Integrada de Desenvolvimento do Distrito Federal e Entorno.

No município de Buritis, encontram-se a Serra Geral a Leste (estado de Minas, municípios de Formoso e Arinos), e a Oeste as Serras do Planalto Central do Brasil (estado de Goiás, municípios de Cabeceiras e Formosa), também a Sul (município de Unaí) e ao Norte. Assim o município é rodeado de serras por todos os lados. O ponto mais alto do município é de 1069 metros, localizado na Serra do Bonito, próximo a cabeceira do córrego Palmeira.

Buritis por ser parte da Região Noroeste de Minas tem sua vegetação constituída pelo cerrado brasileiro. A fauna local apresenta grande variedade em espécies em todos os ambientes, que dispõem de muitos recursos ecológicos, abrigando comunidades de animais com abundância de indivíduos, alguns com adaptações especializadas para explorar o que fornece seu habitat.

O clima municipal é o tropical. Segundo dados do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), referentes ao período de 1980 a 1984, 1986, 1988 e de 1991 a 2003, a menor temperatura registrada em Buritis foi de  em 18 de julho de 2000, e a maior atingiu  em cinco ocasiões: 4 de outubro de 1995, outubro de 1999 (17 e 18) e outubro de 2000 (21 e 22). O maior acumulado de precipitação em 24 horas foi de  milímetros (mm) em 15 de março de 2000. Outros grandes acumulados iguais ou superiores a  foram  em 17 de novembro de 2000,  em 4 de fevereiro de 2002,  em 8 de abril de 1983,  em 25 de dezembro de 1999 e  em 22 de novembro de 1994. Dezembro de 1998, com , foi o mês de maior precipitação.

Hidrografia
As águas nascentes no município e região integram a Bacia do rio São Francisco, "o Rio da Integração Nacional", tem parte de suas nascentes no município de Buritis. Buritis possui dois importantes rios:

 Rio Urucuia
Urucuia significa águas vermelhas ou rio vermelho. A palavra é derivada do urucum, que é uma planta nativa na região a qual produz uma tinta vermelha, usada pelos índios para pintar o próprio corpo. O que pode ser deduzido ainda pelo fato de no inverno o rio possuir águas claras esverdeadas, e no verão período chuvoso em razão das enchentes constantes as águas ficam avermelhadas da cor de barro. Este Rio é de grande notoriedade não só para Buritis, para o Estado de Minas Gerais, e para o Brasil, por ser formador da Bacia do  Rio São Francisco pois também se fez presente nas obras do escritor mineiro João Guimarães Rosa.

 Rio São Domingos
Rio que nasce e deságua dentro do território municipal, tem importantes afluentes como o Ribeirão do Fetal de rara beleza, o Riacho Fundo (Mangues), Manda Saia, Passa Três e outros. Além de quedas d'água como a cachoeira dos Confins, e a queda d'água do Ribeirão Barriguda que mede mais de 90 metros de altitude. Acrescenta-se também, outros inúmeros ribeirões, córregos, muitas nascentes e vertentes d' água que irrigam todo a área do município, e o faz rico em águas fluentes.

O município era grande produtor de peixes, tais como  o Surubim, Traíra, Dourado, Piau, Matrinchã, Mandim, Piranhas, Pacú, e outras variedades. Porém, nos últimos anos, a pesca predatória e a omissão dos órgãos estatais responsáveis pela fiscalização, praticamente acabou com os peixes, atividades pesqueiras como arrastão, (prática predatória, de uma grande rede que varre o fundo dos rios e córregos leva tudo que encontra pela frente mesmo filhotes.), pescarias profissionais, e em épocas proibidas por lei (piracema)  e outras, dizimou os peixes, hoje peixe passou a ser raridade no território municipal.

Economia
A economia local tem por base a Agricultura, a Pecuária de Corte, e de Leite, comércio local, além de pequenas indústrias.

Agricultura
Buritis é o quarto maior produtor de grãos do estado de Minas Gerais.

Trump administration begins formal withdrawal from the Paris Agreement
It can't be completed until at least a year from now.

Two years ago, the president said the US would withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, calling it "unfair." On Monday the Trump administration announced the year-long process has formally begun with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying in a statement that "Per the terms of the Agreement, the United States submitted formal notification of its withdrawal to the United Nations."
Today we begin the formal process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. The U.S. is proud of our record as a world leader in reducing all emissions, fostering resilience, growing our economy, and ensuring energy for our citizens. Ours is a realistic and pragmatic model.
— Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) November 4, 2019
When Donald Trump announced his plan to withdraw from the international agreement -- made by over 200 countries on implementing emissions reduction starting in 2020 -- it led to Elon Musk, Bob Iger and others departing presidential councils, beginning a backlash that stretched across tech companies like Apple, Google and Facebook as well as state and local governments. According to critics, leaving the agreement not only fails to protect the environment, but also impedes US leadership on environmental initiatives, and reduces the US role in 2020 negotiations over pollution cuts.
The withdrawal can't take effect until one year from now, which happens to be a day after the 2020 election. As NBC News points out, if another president is elected, they could rejoin the agreement in 30 days.
