Gov't supporters, opposition take to Venezuela's streets as rifts stay open
Published : April 08, 2019
As rifts in Venezuela widen, supporters of incumbent President Nicholas Maduro and opposition leader Juan Guaido respectively held nationwide rallies on Saturday.
In the capital here, Maduro backers, many of whom were dressed in red, began gathering in the early morning. They waved flags and danced to music when marching to the presidential palace.
"Fill the streets of Caracas with joy and folk colors to show anti-imperialist Venezuela! Let protect peace and national independence together, in constant mobilization. No to interference!" Maduro tweeted.
Supporters of Guaido, some carrying Venezuelan flags, started rallying around Saturday noon. "Venezuela is not afraid and continues taking the streets until we achieve freedom," Guaido said before thousands of people who thronged on a broad avenue.
Guaido previously called April 6 "the start of Operation Freedom," saying it was "the start of a definitive phase to end the usurpation, where we are all now agents of change."
It was the first rally Guaido led after Venezuela's National Constituent Assembly on Tuesday unanimously approved the revocation of Guaido's parliamentary immunity, which implies that Venezuelan authorities may detain Guaido if necessary.
In the northwestern city of Maracaibo, two opposition politicians were temporarily arrested and some demonstrators were injured in clashes with the police, local media reported.
A series of widespread blackouts have disrupted production and daily life in Venezuela since it suffered the worst blackout on March 7 when a power outage plunged most of the country in darkness for about five days and led to shortages of water and gas.
Venezuela's opposition claims the power failures are the result of mismanagement and corruption, while the government has claimed that the outages have been deliberately caused by pro-opposition agents.
Moreover, the United States has been pursuing a policy of economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation against the Venezuelan government in support of Guaido.
In a new round of sanctions, it on Friday listed Venezuela-related companies and vessels as its designated targets.

© Posted on October 30, 2017, by Michael E. Newton.
For the past two years, since publication of Alexander Hamilton: The Formative Years, I have spent countless hours, days, weeks, and months doing research in the vast archives of the Rigsarkivet (Danish National Archives), US National Archives, and UK National Archives searching through the records of St. Croix, Nevis, St. Kitts, and other West Indian islands. This time consuming task has paid off as I have discovered many new and exciting facts about Alexander Hamilton, his family, friends, and colleagues.
This extensive research has been conducted and continues with publication of a new book in mind. The research, however, is taking much longer than planned and much remains to be done. Seeing that publication of a book containing these new findings is still some time away and wanting to share these new discoveries with the public, I am starting this blog.
Sharing these exciting new discoveries in a blog instead of or in addition to writing about them in a Hamilton biography has a number of advantages. A blog allows me to communicate these new discoveries in greater depth. In a Hamilton biography, each discovery can only be presented in the context of the main narrative or perhaps in greater but still limited detail in an endnote. In a blog, however, the full story of each discovery can be shared. The information itself, images of the original manuscripts, transcripts and/or translations, analysis, context, and implications can be detailed in a blog but not in a biography. What may be a one-sentence revelation in a biography can be many paragraphs of useful and interesting information in a blog. This is especially relevant for discoveries only tangentially related to Alexander Hamilton. For example, new information discovered about another Founding Father might merit one sentence, a single phrase, or an endnote in a Hamilton biography but can be written about in full detail in a blog, which will be incredibly interesting to the general reader and absolutely invaluable to those researching and writing about that person. Thus, in addition to revealing these new discoveries sooner rather than later, this blog will present the information in greater depth and in a different context than would be possible in a Hamilton biography.
My plan is to blog once each week, with possible exceptions for holidays and research trips. The nature of the blog posts will vary from week to week. Some may present a single new discovery that tells a complete story. But many, perhaps most, of the posts will not be of this nature. In many instances, I have found references to the same people and sometimes the same event in various volumes and only by combining these disparate sources can one piece together the complete story. These longer, more complicated narratives involving multiple new discoveries will most likely be posted over a series of week so as not to overwhelm either the author or the reader. In contrast, I will also be sharing discoveries that reveal only a fraction of a larger story. It is possible that the full story will never be discovered because the details were never recorded or those records have been lost or destroyed. Alternatively, perhaps more information will be found in the future and the full story revealed. Although these new discoveries are incomplete, I will gladly present them as is and hope that more information will be discovered in the future, whether by me or someone else.
Since I decided to go ahead with this blog despite the above concerns, some measures are being put in place to prevent others from taking credit for these new discoveries and to make it more difficult for anyone to "steal" them. I will not be providing citations for the new discoveries that will be presented. As a historian, I believe strongly in accurate and useful citations. In fact, I have more than 200 pages of endnotes in Alexander Hamilton: The Formative Years to prove that! But it's just so easy to copy someone's work from a blog and paste it into another blog or even a book. To maintain some "ownership" over these discoveries until my own book is published, I will not be citing the original sources on this blog. In most cases, however, I will share images of the sources, which will serve as verification of the findings (and will be interesting exhibits for the reader). These, however, will be watermarked, again so no one can "steal" them and take the credit for themselves. Additionally, as a warning to anyone who might "steal" my work, each blog post will be submitted to Internet Archive's WayBackMachine to provide third-party proof of the contents of each post and the date of publication.
Despite the above restrictions and warnings, historians, biographers, bloggers, and other authors are free to incorporate these new findings in their works IF AND ONLY IF they cite the blog post in which the discovery is presented (including the URL). In fact, I encourage the sharing of the new discoveries presented in this blog, as it is my goal to spread accurate information about Alexander Hamilton and thereby correct the errors, lies, distortions, and myths that are told about him.


The growing "special diet" section online and in your local bookshop is reassurance that you are a part of a large and growing group of people whose digestive tracts are demanding that we reconsider our modern diet, medications, environmental toxins and stress levels. By offering a comprehensive overview of some important healing diets and a great selection of cookbooks, we endeavor to give families an idea of how fun and easy "special diets" can be.
There are many dietary protocols and principles that help children with ADHD, asthma, allergies, and autism also help individuals suffering from Coeliac, Colitis, Crohn's, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, anxiety and depression.
In general, we recommend an organic, fresh, whole food diet with no/minimal refined flours and sugars and no processed foods, artificial additives, colorings or preservatives. And plenty of filtered water containing minerals is essential.
FODMAP is an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides and Polyols. These are sugar compounds and sugar alcohols, which are commonly found in the foods that we eat, and can be problematic for some people, causing digestive discomfort.
The Low FODMAP Diet was developed by a team of researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, led by Peter Gibson. They provided the initial evidence that a low FODMAP diet was beneficial in improving symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
FODMAPs are sugar compounds which are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. They are made up of two or more sugar molecules that need to be broken down into individual sugar units (monosaccharides) to be absorbed across the intestinal epithelium.
Oligosaccharides (fructans and galactans): Humans have naturally low levels of hydrolases making it difficult to cleave these carbohydrates.
Disaccharides (lactose): Lactose is poorly cleaved by the hydrolase lactase, into monosaccharides (galactose and glucose), as lactase has low activity in the brush border of the small intestine.
Monosaccharides (fructose): Fructose is absorbed via transporters which have a very low capacity (GLUT5 transporters) for facilitated diffusion across the intestinal lumen.
Polyols: These molecules are too large for passive diffusion.
FODMAPs are osmotic and attract water as they remain in the intestinal lumen. Malabsorbed FODMAPs molecules will remain in the distal small intestine and proximal large intestine. The water may cause distension and bloating, discomfort, and altered bowel movements.
FODMAPs are fermented in the large intestine by intestinal microflora. Monosacchardies, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides become fermented rapidly by commensal and dysbiotic intestinal bacteria. As fermentation occurs, gases such as hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide are produced; and in some individuals this produces symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a very common functional gastrointestinal disorder. It is characterized by symptoms of gastrointestinal pain, cramping, bloating, flatulence, and altered bowel habits such as diarrhea and/or constipation. The underlying causes of IBS vary in different people, and are not very clearly understood, however altering your diet plays a major role in the symptom management of IBS.
People with sensitive digestive systems experience IBS symptoms due to the expansion of the gut by gas and/or water. This process can exacerbate symptoms of IBS. Although FODMAPs are not the cause of IBS, a low FODMAPs diet can significantly improve IBS symptoms.
Foods which contain FODMAPs are very normal, healthy foods and do not cause symptoms in most people. However, if you are susceptible to gastrointestinal disorders, there may be an increased response to the activation of the enteric nervous system due to intestinal lumen distension; in turn causing heightened symptoms.
Digestive support, through the elimination of high FODMAP foods, conditions such Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), dyspepsia, and reflux may be ameliorated.
Neurological support, as there is some preliminary evidence that a low FODMAP diet may play a role in mood and neurological disorders. Both fructose and lactose malabsorption have been linked with mild depression, and a low fructose diet has been found to improve symptoms of low moods. A study demonstrated that people with fructose malabsorption had higher depression scores, and lower levels of plasma tryptophan, the precursor of the "happy/feel good" neurotransmitter serotonin. Therefore, high fructose concentrations in the gastrointestinal tract may synthesize large amounts of fructose-L tryptophan complexes, in turn reducing tryptophan absorption.
It is favorable to reduce all types of FODMAPs in the diet simultaneously in order to assess the benefits of the diet in an individual.
Foods containing FODMAPs have benefits, as they are nutritionally dense, and they provide fiber and prebiotics, contributing towards good gut health. It is not recommended to follow a low FODMAP diet for life. Strict adherence to the protocol under the guidance of a qualified practitioner is recommended. An elimination phase, followed by a challenge/reintroduction phase is common practice.
After eliminating high FODMAPs foods, there is a systematic reintroduction of specific foods, one by one in order to observe tolerance and any reactions.
During the elimination phase, you should exclude high FODMAP foods for at least six weeks. During this time a good quality probiotic, potentially alongside other gut healing nutrients and/or herbal medicines may be prescribed. If there is no improvement of symptoms during this time, it is highly recommended to investigate for other causes of gastrointestinal discomfort.
During the reintroduction phase, each FODMAP is consumed slowly to gauge your tolerance and the amount of FODMAPs that can be eaten comfortably without provoking symptoms. If symptoms arise during the reintroduction phase, they should resolve first before a new food is reintroduced. Apart from the FODMAP food that is being challenged, all other FODMAPs are to be avoided during the challenge/reintroduction phase.
The well-tolerated FODMAPs are then consumed to determine the tolerance of the combination of foods. If symptoms resume, then the FODMAPs are removed until the symptoms resolve. They are then reintroduced at a lower dose.
If during the reintroduction phase specific FODMAPs are still causing issues, then it is recommended to completely avoid or significantly restrict these foods.
What can be eaten and what is excluded with Low FODMAP?
Certain foods should only be avoided above a certain amount, as some FODMAPs foods can be tolerated in lesser amounts. These are outlined in the table below.
Polyols Avocado if less than ¼, Celery 1 stalk, cherries if less than 3, lychee if less than 5, sweet potato if less than ½ cup.
Beverages Espresso, black tea, white tea, green tea, peppermint and other herbal teas.
Most wine, beer, vodka and gin. Limit to 1 drink.

Q: saving lines to file based on condition pandas python I have a small sample dataset:
import pandas as pd

df = {'ID': ['H576','H577','H577','H578','H600', 'H700', 'H700'],
  'CD': ['AAAAAAA', 'BBBBB', 'CCCCCC','DDDDDD', 'EEEEEEE','FFFFFFF','GGGGGGG']}

df = pd.DataFrame(df)

it looks like:
df
Out[9]:
        CD    ID
0  AAAAAAA  H576
1    BBBBB  H577
2   CCCCCC  H577
3   DDDDDD  H578
4  EEEEEEE  H600
5  FFFFFFF  H700
6  GGGGGGG  H700

For each ID that has more than one CD values, i want to save them to a separate file.
my desire output files:
H577.txt
  CD      ID
 BBBBB   H577
 CCCCCC  H577

H700.txt
  CD       ID
 FFFFFFF  H700
 GGGGGGG  H700

my attempt:
import pandas as pd

df = {'ID': ['H576','H577','H577','H578','H600', 'H700', 'H700'],
  'CD': ['AAAAAAA', 'BBBBB', 'CCCCCC','DDDDDD', 'EEEEEEE','FFFFFFF','GGGGGGG']}

df = pd.DataFrame(df)

df1 = (df.groupby('ID').filter(lambda x: ('if CD has more than one value for the same ID'.any())))

df1.groupby('ID').apply(lambda gp: gp.to_csv('ID{}.txt'.format(gp.name), sep='\t', index=False))

i am not sure how to code the 'if CD has more than one value of the same ID' part.

A: try this:
(df.groupby('ID')
   .filter(lambda g: len(g) > 1)
   .groupby('ID')
   .apply(lambda gp: gp.to_csv('ID{}.txt'.format(gp.name), sep='\t', index=False))
)

Output

'Terrifying' Brazil near full-strength for Croatia test
After overcoming Japan on penalties on Monday following a 1-1 draw after extra time, Croatia face the huge task of facing Brazil

Brazil, however, could be even stronger in Friday's last-eight clash with the 2018 runners-up as left back Alex Sandro should be available and they will be close to full strength after a number of injury problems. With talisman Neymar and key defender Danilo returning against South Korea after missing two games due to ankle problems, coach Tite had to improvise and started right-back Danilo on the left of the defence.
Tite is hoping to field his first-choice team against Croatia with full-backs Danilo and Sandro in their natural positions, sending versatile centre-back Eder Militao back to the substitutes' bench after impressive performances.
Neymar looked sharp in 80 minutes on the pitch against South Korea, scoring a goal and showing no signs that his right foot was bothering him.
He will have extra motivation against Croatia, as he is one goal away from equalling Pele's record for the most goals scored for Brazil (77). Neymar scored his 76th against South Korea and paid tribute to the 82-year-old former Brazil great, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, holding a banner in the middle of the pitch with "Pele" written on it.
"It's hard to talk about what Pele is going through, but I wish him all the best, I hope he gets back to good health as soon as possible and that we can comfort him with this victory and the banner we raised for him," an emotional Neymar told a news conference.
After overcoming Japan on penalties on Monday following a 1-1 draw after extra time, Croatia face the huge task of facing Brazil and their five-man attack which blew away South Korea with four first-half goals. Led by the experienced Luka Modric, Dejan Lovren, Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic, the 2018 finalists arrived in Qatar as one of the oldest teams there are concerns about the fitness and form of key stalwarts after the gruelling 120- minute game against Japan.

Mmm yummy, tasty, delicious....everything you can say about the best quality pastry and sandwiches. I absolutely adore the almond croissants and their fruit tarts. Every morning I can not start without grabbing one of these and my latte of course! Thank you, boys!
Tastiest pastry in the city!
Great coffee and nice vibe!
I work near that place and every time I have a minute for a coffee and a croissant, thats where I go. So much love for Duc de Lorraine. Everything is just perfect(maybe for me), you have to try it to compare to others. It is something different in that boring Montreal.
My favorite place to take a little break and to drink some good coffee, Duc de Lorraine. People are scared to try something different in Montreal. I recommend it (by the numbers of times I tried it), nice people, good prices, fresh food.
If you want a place that offers you good a good service and delicious food/drinks, go for Duc de Lorraine. Number 1 place in Montreal in my opinion, you have to try it to understand me.
Tried similar places to this one, and didn't appreciate them as much as Duc de Lorraine. Wonderful place to spend some time with your friends. Great staff, quality service, nice location (near metro). The best one so far.
Incredible! Delicieux! The food is excellent and the service is outstanding!
Service was outstanding and the food was just tremendous! Merci!
Belle atmosphere! Excellent service! Ca vaut le cout de venir ici!
Very good! It is as good as it was founded. I love coming to this place every morning and have my daily breakfast! Delicious!
The best! Beautiful pastry place! Yummy desserts and their amandine is the best in town!
I have been eating your fabulous croissants since I was a baby 48 years ago! They are as good as always! Now when I visit Montreal with my children we always come to "THE DUC"
It's fantastic place to have breakfast or tea, although they also serve meals. It's a little too chic place but the quality of food and location is worth every penny!
The men and women behind the counter are amazing at their job, keep it up!
Tres bon service. Les desserts sont excellents.
One of my most favorite pastries in town, I love this place!
I didn't know it was a famous place, but it was close to Mont-Royal Park and St-Joseph Cathedral so I went there to grab some pastries for breakfast. By surprise, everything I bought was so good! First I thought they were good because I'm in Montreal, little Paris so they say... thinking any pastry would taste good here,but I was wrong. It was impossible to find anywhere better!
Duc de Lorraine is the place should be visited by each travelers coming to Montreal, a place with tradition, wonderful decorated and the most amazing patisserie in Montreal. The staff is friendly and extremely professional. Whatever you taste you will like!
My mouth waters for one now !! Don't miss stopping here if you're in the area. And not just for pastries. They have a great assortment of sides and meals to take home and savor. If nothing else, stop to see the wonderful decoration and ceiling.
I'm so please to see the changes here. The place is clean, elegant, food is wonderful, great coffee + most importantly, staff is extremely friendly, courteous and efficient. A pleasure to come here. It's better then ever here!
Beautiful presentation, incredible variety, wonderfully aromatic, and delicious tasting stuff...how many superlatives do you need? This bakery is as good as it gets IMO. It is bright but smallish inside. You can smell the buttery richness penetrating the air. There are chairs and tables if you want to eat in. But most people take stuff to go. Fabulous place!
I just love the Croissants, chocolate Croissants and almond Croissants here. Nothing compares!!!
Wonderful place to stay here with my family and kids. The service makes it happen here, I think the guys need to earn an award for the best accommodation.
French music, fabulous sweets, ambiance and service, adds up to five stars place!
The best Latte in town!
Amazing latte, special mix of coffee, and fabulous almond croissants! Super!
Excellent service, la nourriture est très bonne, la terrasse est magnifique! Tous les serveurs sont très bien formés et courtois! C'est un plaisir de venir prendre un petit déjeuner ou le déjeuner ici! Je vous remercie!
Si vous voulez être à Paris tout en étant à Montréal venez chez Duc de Lorraine. La minute où vous entrez ici, vous pouvez sentir le goût de Paris et de s'asseoir et de profiter des délicieuses pâtisseries. Divinement délicieuses tartes aux fruits!
Beau café, servise fabuleux, la nourriture délicieuse! La meilleure pâtisserie française à Montréal avec une jolie terrasse et une belle vue. J'ai commandé quelques fois les gâteaux pour mes événements et le recommande à tout le monde. Merci Duc de Lorraine!
Bonne pâtisserie sur Cote-des-Neiges. Chaque fois que j'y viens, je reste satisfait des produits dont j'ai essayé. Je ne peux pas me plaindre de quoi que ce soit, tout est agréable. Une belle place à découvrir à Montreal.
Ma place préférée à Montréal, ils ne m'ont jamais déçu. Je suis resté fidèle à eux car ils prennent le temps de satisfaire ses clients. J'adore l'ambiance, la belle vue. C'est trop bon, mais c'est vrai!!!
J'adore Duc de Lorraine. La place où je peux prendre mon café bien relax. Belle vue, le personnel très professionnel, une place a essayez avec vos amis ou votre chum/blonde peut importante, ça vaut la peine!

Super ambiance! Les desserts sont excellents!
Les pâtisseries sont excellentes, d'un très haut niveau !!!J'apprécie aussi le fait que les pâtisseries sont peu sucrés.
Ca fait tres longtemps que je voulais decouvrir la patisserie des reves, c'est sans doute les meuilleurs gateaux que j ai mange de ma vie !!!
Excellente patisserie, des classiques aux recettes plus que maison .. Parfait pour un gouter haut de gamme ou pour terminer en repas entre amis en beauté !
A l'aspect comme à la dégustation, cela frôle la perfection, c'est joli, c'est très fin et vraiment excellent, il ne faut pas hésiter à savourer!
Les gâteaux sont uniques et mis en valeur sous les spots comme des joyaux chez un bijoutier. Impeccable!
Le seul problème avec manger ici est simplement choisir une pâtisserie de chose ... J'ai acheté un sac pour la ramener à la maison et c'était incroyable.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les pâtisseries et le thé!
Nous avons été séduits par la simplicité et la qualité de cette patisserie! Pâtisserie à recommander tant pour la gentillesse des vendeuses que pour les mets délicieux !

Le brunch est tout simplement excellent, l ambiance tres sympa, le service tres bien. C est une adresse incontournable!
Still one of the best pastry shops in Montreal. A nice terrace. Friendly staff. I will return.
The best meal I had in Montreal and just for context I ate at Joe Beef the evening before. Stopped here for lunch and thought I was back in Paris. Food, service and dessert menu were all outstanding. Although this is a neighbor type place with I think many locals make it a stop if you are in the area.
Tooooooo slow. Food is not bad, compared with Montreal average but far to be a good French restaurant in France.
I made a list of bakeries to visit on my week in Montreal . This was the best of an amazing group. If you can only go one place for pastries this is the one. I love this place.
OMG! I was like a little kid in a toy store!!! I was just so fascinated by all the amazing goodies they had. I wish i can give this place ten stars! The bus tour guide told us about this bakery, so we hopped off and had to check it out. I literally just wanted to taste everything in this shop!
Very cute and polite wait staff, professional all around. The location is great for a date before or after wandering Mont Royal.
Really really great food. Breakfast was fantastic and the outside seating is really nice on a sunny day.
They have a fabulous terrace surrounded by trees and overlooking the Saint Joseph Cathedral.
There is a always French music playing in the background making it an even more romantic place.
So disappointed.. It has a beautiful Terrace, but the food No good at all, I just had a simple breakfast, eggs were burn and the sausage look so old and taste the so bad, I do not recommended at all, the only good thing is the Service very nice waiters.
Awful service. They forget to serve our food and we wait for one hour (even though when we said there was a problem eith our food, we wait for half an hour to be served).
When we were finally served, they forget a quarter of the order. Food was average and prices high.
There arr a lot of good restaurants in Montreal. Do not waste your time here.
Wonderful Mother's Day breakfast, staff was great. We sat in the warm sun, food was good.
I was greeted by a man in a white ruffled shirt with black now tie.
Purchased a chocolate mousse torte and a strawberry cheese danish.
Very friendly young woman behind the counter help me select them.
This place is both expensive and good. Everything here is of high quality.. It's like stepping right into France on Cote des Neiges.
Everytime I come to Montreal, I like to stop there as this place has a special meaning to me ; this is where my parents got their wedding cake made 30 years ago!
The local is very lovely and French looking, all the products are nicely displayed and there is a very cute dinning room and a nice patio during the summer.
Stopped by here when looking for a quick breakfast place in between two events in the neighborhood two weeks ago and had high expectations for this place based on previous reviews.
I'm giving this a five star because I loveeeeeeee this place! Even if I went only once, I love the atmosphere, the decorations and the PASTERIES!! It was soooo good! I admit its a bit pricey but its sooo yummy! Worth it! I suggest the tiramisu in the little cup. Hope you enjoy it too!
Fantastic place to feel like you are in France without actually leaving Canada.
Its always a treat to visit this place. I am happy to bring friends there each time.
Heavenly sweets of my childhood; precious and yummy, especially the macarons!! Very special place- biased cuz of my history with the place but LOVE it nevertheless!
I came here to grab a warm to go coffee before visiting the St. Joseph Oratory on a very cold day. I was met by a beautiful pastry shop, with a great and wide selection of baked goods. I wouldn't recommend coming here to grab a quick and affordable coffee. I would come again to sit down and enjoy a pastry and conversation with friends.
On a sunny spring Sunday, my friends and I decided to go to Joseph's oratory to experience the beautiful view of Montreal. After this excursion we decided to go for an impromptu meal and found this unassuming spot on the corner of the street.
I like the atmosphere , european style, brunch, coffee , desserts with a nice service, many tables. Its pricey now you know.
Probably my closest experience to French cuisine. Stopped by here for breakfast because it was on the way to St. Joseph Oratory.
We were one of the early customers. Love the ambience and the food was definitely tasty. I ordered the Ham Omelette and my husband ordered the Vegetarian Omelette.
I had two so much different experiences in a week time in Duc de Lorraine that I have the feeling I visited two different places. Well the location and personnel were the same. The host and waiting stuff are overall very accommodating, and the service is fine. What I had problems with is the croissant quality which was the main reason for my visit.
Wow! Just did a takeout, $17 sandwich and they made it on a stale baguette. Inside the stale baguette was the smallest portion imaginable. I've ordered this before so I know what it's supposed to be. It unfortunately has happened before and I will no longer try again. Stop pretending to be a classy establishment, you're not what you used to be.
The omelette with cheese and mushrooms was delicious. The fruit salad was slice fruits in a glass of orange pineapple juice and tasted only the juice and not the sliced fruit.
While visiting Montreal we took the big red bus tour with the specific point of getting off at Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal. As we were approaching the Oratory, our tour guide suggested Duc de Lorraine and we are grateful she did.
It's simple and casual atmosphere, but the food is excellent.
Warm and friendly service with a great selection of baked goods and fancier desserts. I had the chocolate almond croissant, a macaron and a cafe mocha, while my husband had the thin pizza followed by a strawberry napoleon style dessert. We enjoyed our selections immensely!
I grew up coming to this place ! Pastries are just as good as they were 35 years ago.
Duc de Lorraine is a very nice upscale French patisserie in Côte des Neiges. The buttery croissants and pastries were amazing. The place is very clean and service is prompt and friendly.
The worst cake I've ever eaten in my life.
First time my husband and I came to Montreal and we chose to go for a more French brunch. Best place ever! Service was great, music was pleasant and the food was delicious. They have a variety of breakfast, brunch, lunch and desert servings that will make anyone pleased to be here. Very family friendly, we saw a few kids that were enjoying the sweets.
Overall I give it five stars!
The patio was beautiful, the service was excellent, the coffee amazing but the desserts were not fresh. I was surprised that there was no soap in the washroom!
Sitting outside at this patisserie, nestled around the corner from the St. Joseph Oratory, was a pleasure and created a very special memory from this visit. I had been a bit concerned about the service after reading prior reviews, but everything was top notch.
First time I have had a lunch here ans I found the selection good, the food tasty and well made and the glass of Sangria fun. Well worth the cost for a fun and relaxing treat.
a recent Sunday afternoon visit for a coffee and pastry was a disappointment for a place that was one time a Montreal landmark.
Place was not full , but had a MacDonald's like atmosphere with screaming kids and more staff doing nothing than customers .
This is a 'must try' place for a light lunch, pastries and the authentic Parisienne food; with the waiters speaking with their French for France accents,you'd swear you're in Paris.
espresso for dessert was also great.
Very fresh baked by original French recipe pastries especially almond croissant and chocolatines. Double shot of espresso and you are good to go. Very nice place friendly environment, very welcoming and courteous staff .
Located close to mount royal, central Montréal parc and st-joseph Oratory this precious gem is a remarkable addition to local attractions. Tastiest pastries, fabulous service and what a décor, both outside and interior. If I don't have much time I take it to go and it's always fresh!
We arrive this french looking pastry in the morning. We chose brule cream almond croisson and 2 others from the sweet section that we forgot the name of them.
Every one of them was amazing, very delicate and fresh.
There was a great atmosphere, like other reviews said that you are in paris.
After you see the nearby Oratory do come to this gem on the corner of the street to experience original European style cafè. We had two lattes, an espresso and a little fruit cake which was insanely good. The added value was the helpful chatty server with Croatian background. Items are quite pricey but the quality is very good.
Nice place , Nice music .
We love their pastries . Its good if you want to spend time alone or with a friend .
Its warm and cozy in the winter.
The almond croissants are to die for. Please go to Duc De Lorraine if you have a craving for some fine french dessert.
I am a loyal client of Duc de Lorraine and I just love this little French patisserie for their specially made choices of coffee. Latte is just brilliantly roasted with sharp and rejuvenating taste. Of course as a forty years old or so tradition they have top croissants and pastry.
An amazing and remarkable French pastry shop here in NDG Montreal. Service is always at highest levels croissants are tasty French and crispy . Coffees are amazing. This is my and my wife's place for lunch and morning coffee. Summer open patio provides fabulous view on mont royal. Thank you for consistent great service and taste!
Came there with my girlfriend to take a croissants and latte. Girlfriend like that place because of food and because of an amazing view. One of the best patisserie in Montreal, never tried something similar to this one. You have to try it to understand... Great service, staff is helpful, just an amazing place to hang around.
I can consider Duc De Lorraine here in Montreal to be the best ever place to have fresh crispy croissants and fresh and authentic tiramisu.
Well well well! Prepare yourself to be transported straight to Paris! At Duc de Lorraine you enter European experience right after you enter this beautiful french pastry!
Un accueil chaleureux et sympathique, un cadre lumineux et… un délice dans l'assiette. Que demander de plus à une pâtisserie ?
Beautiful presentation, incredible variety, wonderfully aromatic, and delicious tasting stuff…how many superlatives do you need? This bakery is as good as it gets IMO. It is bright but smallish inside. You can smell the buttery richness penetrating the air. There are chairs and tables if you want to eat in. But most people take stuff to go. Fabulous place!
Depuis 1952, la patisserie Duc de Lorraine conserve les recettes anciennes et les savants secrets qui font les delices des gourmets. Charcuteries fines et delicates a la mode francaise, fromages raffines et exclusifs, glaces maison, tartes et gateau que vous degusterez sur place ou que vous pouvez commander pour emporter.
Duc de Lorraine Pâtisserie Francaise offers these services: pastry shop, tea, salon, cheese, bakery, caterer.

Le Rallye de Côte d'Ivoire Bandama 1979 ( Rallye Bandama), disputé du 9 au , est la soixante-quinzième manche du championnat du monde des rallyes (WRC) courue depuis 1973, et la douzième et dernière manche du championnat du monde des rallyes 1979 (WRC).

Contexte avant la course

Le championnat du monde

Ayant succédé en 1973 au championnat international des marques (en vigueur de 1970 à 1972), le championnat du monde des rallyes s'appuie sur les plus célèbres épreuves routières internationales, telles le Rallye Monte-Carlo, le Safari ou le RAC Rally. Parallèlement au championnat des constructeurs, la Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI) a cette année introduit un championnat des pilotes qui remplace la controversée Coupe des conducteurs qui incluait des épreuves de second plan. Le calendrier 1979 comprend douze manches (dont huit européennes), réservées aux voitures des catégories suivantes :
 Groupe 1 : voitures de tourisme de série
 Groupe 2 : voitures de tourisme spéciales
 Groupe 3 : voitures de grand tourisme de série
 Groupe 4 : voitures de grand tourisme spéciales

Déjà assuré de remporter le titre constructeurs, Ford a effectué sa dernière sortie officielle lors de la manche précédente, en Grande-Bretagne. La marque a d'ailleurs mis momentanément un terme à son implication en rallye, laissant aux équipes privées le soin de défendre ses couleurs la saison prochaine. La manche ivoirienne du championnat a pour unique enjeu le titre pilotes, que vont se disputer Björn Waldegård et Hannu Mikkola, tous deux pilotes officiels Ford cette saison, et également sous contrat Mercedes pour les manches africaines. C'est donc sur les coupés 450 SLC qu'ils vont défendre leurs chances. Avec douze points d'avance, Waldegård est toutefois le mieux placé pour l'emporter, il lui suffit de terminer juste derrière son coéquipier pour devenir le premier champion du monde des rallyes.

Chances des prétendants au titre
Mikkola remporte le titre si :
 Il gagne et Waldegård ne termine pas second
 Il termine second et Waldegård ne se classe pas mieux que cinquième
 Il termine troisième et Waldegård ne se classe pas mieux que sixième

Dans tous les autres cas de figure, Waldegård est sacré champion du monde.

L'épreuve

Tout comme le Safari, autre épreuve africaine du championnat, le Rallye Bandama se dispute presque entièrement sur piste, avec un classement établi sur la base de moyennes imparties sur des routes restant ouvertes à la circulation locale. Créée en 1969, l'épreuve fut intégrée au championnat du monde en 1978. S'étant imposé à cinq reprises depuis 1971, Peugeot y détient le record de victoires, le constructeur sochalien ayant réalisé le doublé lors de la dernière édition avec Jean-Pierre Nicolas et Timo Mäkinen, respectivement premier et second au volant de coupés 504 V6.

Les forces en présence
 Peugeot
Rarement battu sur les pistes ivoiriennes, le constructeur sochalien fait cette année encore figure de favori. Trois coupés 504 V6 groupe 4 ont été engagés par l'usine et confiés à Jean-Pierre Nicolas (dernier vainqueur en date), Timo Mäkinen et Jean-Claude Lefebvre. Ces trois voitures sont neuves. Pesant 1360 kg, elles sont équipées d'un moteur de , alimenté par trois carburateurs Weber à double corps, développant 230 chevaux à 8000 tr/min. Sari, l'importateur de la marque à Abidjan, a également engagé un coupé V6 pour le pilote local Alain Ambrosino, qui bénéficie de l'assistance de l'usine. Directement menacé par la puissante équipe Mercedes, Peugeot a particulièrement préparé sa participation à l'épreuve, les reconnaissances ayant débuté un mois et demi avant le départ. Plusieurs pilotes privés, comme Samir Assef ou Adolphe Choteau, prendront le départ sur des coupés en version groupe 4 'client' (environ 145 chevaux). Tous utilisent des pneus Michelin.

 Mercedes-Benz

Le constructeur allemand a déployé d'énormes moyens pour sa première participation officielle en Côte d'Ivoire : l'équipe bénéficie sur place de 46 véhicules d'assistance ainsi que de deux avions. Quatre coupés 450 SLC 5.0 groupe 4 (1350 kg à vide, moteur V8 de cinq litres développant 310 chevaux à 6400 tr/min, boîte automatique à trois rapports, air conditionné) ont été minutieusement préparés. Ils sont aux mains d'Hannu Mikkola, Björn Waldegård, Andrew Cowan et Vic Preston Jr. La marque utilise des pneus Dunlop.

 Toyota
Au lieu des habituels coupés Celica, le constructeur japonais a engagé deux nouvelles versions 'Liftback' de ces modèles, pour Ove Andersson et Jean-Luc Thérier. Bien que disposant de moteurs groupe 2 (deux litres, 180 chevaux), elles sont inscrites en groupe 4 et s'avèrent plus lourdes (1100 kg au lieu de 1000) que les coupés. Elles sont équipés de pneus Pirelli.

 Datsun
Grâce à l'aide financière d'un industriel d'Abidjan, Datsun a ajouté la manche ivoirienne à son calendrier sportif. Deux berlines 160J PA10 groupe 2 (965 kg, 190 chevaux) ont été préparées pour Andy Dawson et Pierre Saucet. Elles sont exceptionnellement chaussées de pneus Kléber pour cette épreuve.

 Renault
L'équipe Gitanes a engagé une R5 Alpine groupe 2 (870 kg, traction, moteur quatre cylindres de 1400 cm3, 130 chevaux) pour Bruno Saby. Préparée chez Sinpar, cette voiture est équipée de pneus Kléber.

Déroulement de la course

Première étape
La première étape, longue d'à peine deux cent quarante kilomètres, se déroule la journée du dimanche aux alentours d'Abidjan. En principe peu sélective, elle a surtout pour but de déterminer l'ordre des départs le lendemain. La première partie du parcours se déroule sans anicroche pour les favoris, hormis pour Jean-Pierre Nicolas, victime d'un bris de carter de pont sur son coupé 504. L'assistance Peugeot parvient à le lui remplacer en moins d'une demi-heure, mais une nouvelle casse une dizaine de kilomètres plus loin contraint le dernier vainqueur de l'épreuve à l'abandon. Son coéquipier Timo Mäkinen effectue quant à lui un beau début de course, occupant la seconde place derrière la Mercedes d'Andrew Cowan. Le pilote finlandais va cependant être retardé par une crevaison peu avant le contrôle d'Alépé, où les quatre Mercedes, toujours emmenées par Cowan, sont groupées aux quatre premières places. Le pilote britannique se maintient en tête tout au long de l'étape, regagnant Abidjan devant ses coéquipiers Björn Waldegård, Vic Preston et Hannu Mikkola, ce dernier ayant été légèrement retardé par un problème de pompe à essence. Malgré des ennuis de freins et un moteur chauffant exagérément, Jean-Luc Thérier termine la journée en cinquième position au volant de sa Toyota, précédant les trois Peugeot de Timo Mäkinen, Alain Ambrosino et Jean-Claude Lefebvre. Onze équipage ont déjà abandonné lors de ce court prologue.

Deuxième étape

Abidjan - Bouaké
Les quarante-six équipages rescapés repartent d'Abidjan le lundi matin en direction du nord, les mieux classés la veille s'élançant les premiers. Les pistes sont très poussiéreuses et Thérier va effectuer une spectaculaire sortie de route au moment où il s'apprêtait à dépasser une voiture de tourisme : aveuglé par un nuage de poussière, il se fait surprendre par un virage et quitte la piste, la Toyota décollant sur une bosse et terminant sa course dans les arbustes après avoir sectionné deux poteaux électriques ! L'équipage est indemne mais dans l'impossibilité de continuer la course. Entre-temps, Mikkola a pris le commandement de la course devant Waldegård et Cowan. La quatrième Mercedes, moins rapide aux mains de Preston, est bientôt rejointe par la 504 de Mäkinen, auteur d'une belle remontée. Quoique nettement plus rapide, le pilote finlandais ne va cependant parvenir à dépasser le Kenyan, qui bouchonne littéralement son adversaire jusqu'au contrôle de Port-Bouët où, très en colère, Mäkinen va avoir une sérieuse explication avec Preston, qui lui cédera peu après le passage dans le tronçon suivant. Le pilote Peugeot s'efforce ensuite de reprendre du terrain sur Cowan, alors troisième, mais peu après Azaguié une rupture de pont le stoppe dans son élan. Il va perdre plus d'une heure et demie à le faire remplacer, abandonnant tout espoir de bien figurer. C'est désormais Jean-Claude Lefebvre qui porte les espoirs de l'équipe Peugeot, le pilote français remontant rapidement au classement pour figurer à la tombée de la nuit en troisième position, à seize minutes de Waldegård (qui a pris la tête de la course) et quatorze de Mikkola. Lefebvre va cependant perdre du temps un peu plus tard à cause de problèmes de démarreur qui le font retomber en cinquième position. Lorsque les concurrents atteignent Bouaké, où une pause de six heures est prévue, les quatre Mercedes sont de nouveau regroupées en tête, Waldegård devançant Mikkola, Cowan et Preston, alors que Mäkinen a de nouveau été ralenti, cette fois par des ennuis de suspension, et compte désormais deux heures trois qurts de retard. Malgré des problèmes d'amortisseurs, Bruno Saby (sur Renault 5) est en tête du groupe 2, ayant pris la suite du pilote namibien  Flachberger lorsque celui-ci a dû abandonner sa Toyota, suspension hors d'usage. Neuvième au classement général, Saby précède la Ford Escort de Carlos Torres, solidement installé en tête du groupe 1. Seuls vingt-cinq équipages sont encore en course.

Bouaké - Yamoussoukro

Il fait encore nuit lorsque les rescapés repartent de Bouaké, en direction de Yamoussoukro. Les Mercedes continuent leur insolente domination ; peu après Korhogo, Lefebvre, leur dernier adversaire de taille, disparaît à son tour, le coupé V6 s'immobilisant avec une bielle coulée. Dès lors, plus personne n'est en mesure de contrer l'équipe allemande au sein de laquelle seul Waldegård connaît quelques soucis, le pilote suédois cédant le commandement à son coéquipier Mikkola à cause de la rupture de son circuit hydraulique de freinage. Mikkola achève l'étape avec quatre petites minutes d'avance sur le Suédois, dix-huit sur Cowan et vingt-quatre sur Preston. Cinquième sur la Toyota rescapée, Ove Andersson est à plus d'une heure, devant les Peugeot officielles d'Alain Ambrosino, premier des pilotes locaux, et de Mäkinen qui est parvenu à réduire quelque peu son retard sur les Mercedes. Saby a cassé un bras de suspension de sa Renault 5 et abandonné ; c'est désormais Mitri, sur Datsun, qui est en tête du groupe 2, tandis que les ennuis électriques de Torres ont permis à Faure (également sur Datsun) de mener en tourisme de série. À mi-parcours, il ne reste plus que quinze voitures en course.

Troisième étape
Les concurrents repartent le mercredi, pour une longue boucle dans la partie ouest du pays. Malgré les difficultés du parcours, les Mercedes ne connaissent pratiquement aucun souci, seul Waldegård connaissant une petite alerte avec ses freins. Le classement ne subit pas de changement notable, hormis pour les pilotes Peugeot qui échangent leurs positions avant la halte nocturne de Daloa. Mikkola a légèrement accru son avance sur Waldegård. Quatre nouveaux abandons ont été enregistrés sur cette première partie d'étape.

Les positions sont maintenant figées et le retour sur Yamoussoukro, le lendemain, s'effectue sans incident notable ; Mikkola a porté son avance à plus d'une demi-heure et, sauf incident, a déjà course gagnée.

Quatrième étape
La dernière étape, disputée le vendredi, ramène les concurrents à Abidjan. Les Mercedes ne connaissent aucun problème au cours de la journée et réalisent un impressionnant quadruplé, Mikkola s'imposant devant Waldegård, la seconde place du Suédois lui assurant le titre mondial des conducteurs. Cowan et Preston conservent leurs positions, devant la Toyota d'Andersson et le coupé 504 d'Ambrosino, alors que Mäkinen n'a pu rallier l'arrivée, une défaillance du circuit électrique l'ayant éliminé à deux cents kilomètres du but. Les Datsun de Mitri et Faure remportent respectivement les groupes 2 et 1, alors que les deux autres équipages rescapés sont arrivés hors-délai et ne sont pas classés.

I'M INTERESTED IN BECOMING A BOARD MEMBER. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Firstly, read all the information on this page. Here you will find all the information you need to know about becoming a Board Member (please read it thoroughly!). Then when you are ready, head over to our Get Involved page and fill out the nomination form at the bottom of the page.
In the meantime, talk to some of the Board Members at an event, or shoot them an email. They'll be happy to tell you what is involved and how the process works.
HYP is an incorporated non-profit organisation. The board members are a group of members elected each year to run and maintain the organisation and grow it in line with the aims of the members.
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH BEING ON THE BOARD?
Everything you see HYP do is through the hard work of a Board of Directors who volunteer their time because they are passionate about the cause. Also, these roles are fun, expand your network base, allow you to practice your public speaking, build your personal brand and help you develop great leadership skills. But they aren't positions to be taken lightly!
There is a level of commitment you must bring to continue to make HYP the success it has come to be. It's a very exciting time for everyone involved. The initiatives we have successfully executed in the past few years demonstrate our enthusiasm through constant evolution and we have even bigger plans ahead!
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT DIRECTOR POSITIONS ON THE BOARD?
There are 12 Board Members elected, known as 'Directors'. The four executive positions consist of President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. There other eight positions are non-executive Directors. Generally it is recommended that people participate as non-executive Directors for a year before they take on the additional responsibilities and leadership required of the executive positions, however there is no rule against someone running for those positions in their first year.
It is expected that members have been actively involved in HYP events before running for a board position. It is also recommended members participate as non-executive Directors for a year before nominating to take on the additional responsibilities and leadership required of the executive positions, however this is not a mandatory requirement.
After we receive all nomination forms at the end of the calendar year, the details of nominating members will be posted on our website. We send an email directing members to this page once it is set up. This will give voting members details of those up for nomination, and which positions they wish to be nominated for.
If a position is not challenged (i.e. not more than one person going for each position) then the position is automatically awarded to that nominee.
If the position is challenged, you as a voting member are encouraged to attend the AGM to vote for those you wish to occupy each of the roles that are challenged. You will not be able to vote unless you attend the AGM.
HOW DO I NOMINATE TO BE ON THE BOARD?
Only members may be nominated for a Board position. If you wish to be on the Board in 2018 head on over to our Get Involved page and fill out the application form at the bottom.
ARE BOARD MEMBERS REMUNERATED FOR THEIR WORK?
No, these positions are entirely voluntary so the Directors do not get paid for their work.
A Director is someone who is legally appointed as a person responsible for an organisation.
The directors have a wide range of responsibilities. Some responsibilities are met by all Directors, and others are for specific people. These responsibilities are often split up depending on each person's skills or passions (e.g. event planning, marketing, sponsorship etc) or based on their position (Treasurer, President etc).
Event planning: booking venues, negotiating prices, arranging catering, promotions and advertising, sourcing topics and presenters etc.
Maintaining the organisation: checking mail, maintaining records such as meeting minutes, financials, maintaining statutory requirements.
Strategic planning: working to improve HYP and achieve more for members including implementing new initiatives, different types or ways of running and improving events.
Organisation promotion: sourcing sponsorship and maintaining relationships, finding new members, liaising with the Newcastle business community, increasing awareness of the organisation.
Online presence: maintaining our website, arranging our e-mailouts, updating our ticketing websites, maintaining and improving our social media pages including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.

I tried background-size:contain / cover / 100%.. nothing worked

A: Just add:
html,body{
    height:100%;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}

to your css.
Updated fiddle here.

A: The background property depends on the height of the element. You didn't set height of your empty body therefore it results in those repeated tiny strips. The min-height property of body tag wouldn't work unless you set height: 100% of the parent tag i.e. html.
Working Fiddle.

A: Demo
html, body {
    height: 100%;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}

The Los Angeles Lakers are a team that began to play in 1947. Their original name was Detroit Gems, until they were purchased by Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen, who transferred the team to Minneapolis and changed the name to Lakers in honor of the 10,000 lakes nickname of the state of Minnesota. The team eventually settled in Los Angeles during the '60s. This team stands out as one of the most successful in NBA history, with the largest number of appearances in final games and the second largest number of titles in their whole history. Forbes Magazine has nominated them as one of the most valuable franchises in the US. They were the most important team of the '80s with over 60 victories, 8 finals and 5 championships in 6 seasons, led by Hall of Fame player Earvin Magic Johnson.

Dutch hardcore heavyweights CORNERED release new single; comment on new EP, local hardcore and more
When you say European hardcore it's impossible not to mention CORNERED. Grinding the asphalt since 2008 they've done countless weekenders all over Europe, done more than 10 full European tours and a full USA tour. Besides being known for their notorious and infamous live shows, the band already has a solid discography. Several full length albums, EP's and split 7"s have been released in the past ten years and Blindsided Records are proud to put out their 10th release called Failure!
Cornered have recorded 4 tracks for this EP, all in the aggressive NYHC style we know and love them for but somehow still surprisingly fresh and relevant. Recorded during the lockdown with their longtime producer JB van der Wal, the EP is their finest effort yet and a culmination of months of isolation and creative frenzy.
"Realm Of Misery" is the first single taken off CORNERED's upcoming EP Failure, out January 29th through Blindsided Records.
Comments the band: "We wrote four new songs that are mainly self-reflective but also reflect on things going on in the world today. Breaking down each and every track, Realm of Misery is about how many things seem to end on a negative note for me. Burn is about the consequences of not speaking out your thoughts eventually leading to total demise. Jungle Law is about the world quickly turning into a lawless and loveless place run by power-hungry narcists. Self–Destruct is the fourth song and it's about heartbreak leading to self-destructive behavior."
Cornered started late 2008 when a couple of other bands decided to call it quits. The first demo was released on 7" in 2009 and was received well enough to book a European tour around it. The following years were spent touring in support of their first full length and FUCK OFF e.p. Over the last ten years, Cornered released 10 records in different formats and did at least 10 tours in both Europe and America. Failure is their 10th record which will be released early 2021.
"A new record is being written at the moment as we do not intend to call it quits." – says the band.
Looking back at 2020, CORNERED admit that this year has been treating them pretty bad. "We had a couple of shows lined up but only played one I think." – they say. "It was a cool show in Eastern Germany but due to social distancing everyone was forced to sit on a picknick table. Luckily our friends in Risk It showed up and sang along and hung around. We realized that's what it's all about. So that must have been the highlight of 2020. We recorded our FAILURE EP in May and it will be out in a month or so. We also parted ways with our drummer Daan but got a familiar face to play drums back, welcome Ferdinand aka HIV. He has been on most Cornered tours since we started so we figured he would be the best one to step up. We hope to be able to play shows again next year and we are working on new material for a follow up to FAILURE."

Asked about their local hardcore community, CORNERED gives us a quick look into their scene: "On a smaller scale we try to do a show every month or two with a collective called Uit je Plaat Productions. We try to book local bands but also bands from across the country to play a small bar called Mukkes. We try to keep costs low and this usually draws around 80 people or more so that is awesome.
Then there's Hardcore Vrijday (Hardcore Friday) who have been doing a show every three months over the last nine years or so. These shows are always attended pretty good (+-100 kids) and also offers a platform for local and non-local bands. At the moment there haven't been any shows obviously.
There's a couple of sick bands from Leeuwarden; there's Bad Attitude, Hard Shoulder, OiFight8, BOOS, Squanchers, Scuffle and probably a whole lot of bands I forgot to mention, sorry dudes.
If you're a touring band please get in touch with Uit je Plaat fest and we can see how we can help you out."

Apart from their local scene, CORNERED enjoyed some more new music this year. "Hawser have had a sick new record out but unfortunately for them the COVID-19 pandemic broke out just when they had a bunch of shows planned to promote the record."
All Is Forgiven by Hawser
"I really like the Chubby & the Gang record and the Janitors – Backstreet Ditties album. Check those out if you are into punk rock."
Speed Kills by Chubby and the Gang
Backstreet Ditties by The Janitors
"Apart from the bands I mentioned I am in a couple of other bands myself that I'd like to mention here. If you are into skinhead rock & roll check out my new band Diamond Dogs, we have an EP out on Rebellion Records which you might enjoy. I also play guitar in Bloodsucker, we just recorded a new EP a month ago that you will enjoy if you like crossover. The band was formerly known as Vexaction but some weak metalband that has been around for 40 years but never released anything worth mentioning claimed the copyrights last year and started stalking us about using the bandname. Poor fuckers. Anyway check that EP out too when it's out. I don't keep up with a lot of other new hardcore bands that come out, mainly because I am not into over the top heavy bands that came out over the last couple of years."
Lastly, we asked the band's vocalist Niels Amperse for a tongue-in-cheek end of the year list and here's what we got :)
"I go to the cinema every week to watch something new that came out, so…
𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑒'𝑠 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠.
1. We summon the darkness – A lame ass movie that is a mix between Clueless and Scream. Johnny Knoxville's appearance can't save this shitty flick, nor the lame Metallica reference and the band at the metalshow mimicking Mercyful Fate.
2. Horizon Line – We were expecting to get some kind of Cast Away but instead we got a chickflick about a small plane crashing down. FFO hysterical women.
3. Freaky – Started out pretty good but turned out into Vince Vaughn being stuck in a girl's body and vice versa. No Rob Schneider or Adam Sandler though. Weak.
4. Rogue – Hot chick fights badly done CGI tigers. Sounds badass but was truly depressing.
5. Antebellum – Pretty wild story about modern day slavery. Not a very good movie.
6. New Mutants – Bad X-Men ripoff. Pretty thin storyline.
7. Tenet – Well-promoted movie about time travel. You're better off watching Back to the Future.
8. The War with Grandpa. – Robert DeNiro should have quit acting a long time ago. FFO Home Alone.
9. Primal – Nicholags Cage fighting a badly done CGI white panther and Cyrus the Virus on a boat. Famke Jansen on too much botox.
10. 1917 – Forest Gump shot in one take. A dude walking all the time. LOTR-style. Wack."

In 1944 specifications were drawn up by the US Army Air Force for a 27 foot boat, with two engines, providing a speed of 8 knots, designed to be carried by an aircraft and dropped by parachute. The Higgins Company built the boat and it was in full production by January of 1945. The initial boats were configured to be carried by stripped down B-17 aircraft. The boat was faired into the belly of the aircraft and as a result produced little additional drag resulting in the loss of but 6 mph airspeed. The boat was usually released at a speed of 120 mph from an altitude of 1,500 feet. The boat proved satisfactory in operation.
In July of 1945, 18 B-17Gs were set aside by the USAAF for transfer via the US Navy to the Coast Guard to be used as search and rescue aircraft. Rework began to convert the aircraft in question for search and rescue duties and provide for the carrying of droppable lifeboats. On 1 January 1946, the Coast Guard was returned to the Treasury Department, but nevertheless, the Navy continued to rework the B-17s and transferred the first of 15 to the Coast Guard in July of 1946. These aircraft were Lockheed-Vega and carried Navy serial numbers. An additional PB-1G was obtained directly from the USAAF in 1947 and it served with a truncated AAF serial number.
The PB-1Gs were stationed throughout the hemisphere and were used primarily for search and rescue purposes. They were also used for Ice Patrol and photo mapping. The photo aircraft carried a nine-lens, 1.5 million dollar, aerial camera for mapping purposes. Interestingly, the Norden bombsight, used by the B-17s in the bombing campaign against Nazi Germany was retained and was used to pinpoint targets for the camera.
The PB-1Gs were painted in yellow and black air-rescue markings and those utilized for search and rescue initially carried the droppable life boat. The PB-1G carried no armament and the B-17 chin turret was replaced by a search radar. The USAAF had made several successful lifeboat drops during the war but no record of an actual Coast Guard drop could be located. The Coast Guard PB-1Gs served well over a period of years – the last was not withdrawn from service until October 14, 1959.


Disease issues can take center stage when the topic of community cats is brought up. Newspaper headlines regularly strike fear in the hearts of citizens and can mire your community cat program in debate about health concerns for both people and cats. Public health veterinarian Dr. Sandra Norman will address these concerns and show how effective programs can help not just the cats themselves, but the community as a whole.
Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past week (or taking a break from social media), you've likely seen articles, blogs and reviews on the book Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer by Dr. Peter Marra and Chris Santella, released this week. While the book is aggressive in its anti-Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) and anti-free-roaming cat rhetoric, it is, unfortunately, nothing new.

U.S. Route 285 (US 285) is a north–south U.S. highway that runs from Sanderson, TX to Denver, CO. In the state of New Mexico, US 285 enters the state from Texas south of Loving. The highway runs through the major cities of Carlsbad, Roswell, and Santa Fe. The highway exits the state into Colorado approximately 25 miles north of Tres Piedras.

Route description

US 285 enters New Mexico from Texas approximately 23 miles south of Loving. As US 285 traverses north on the eastern plains of New Mexico, it passes through the towns of Carlsbad, Artesia and then Roswell. In Artesia, the route intersects with US 82. In Carlsbad, US 285 has an overlap with US 62 and US 180 through the town. In Roswell, the route intersects with US 70 and US 380, having a short overlap with US 70.

The route next heads northwest to Vaughn where it has a brief concurrency with US 54 and US 60. The route then continues northwest and has a junction with Interstate 40 (I-40) at Clines Corners.

Heading north out of Clines Corners, the route continues towards the state capital. At the outskirts of Santa Fe, the route becomes concurrent with I-25, US 84, and its unsigned parent (US 85) for several miles heading west through the foothills of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains to Santa Fe. After exiting I-25, US 285 follows Saint Francis Drive through Santa Fe. The route continues north by northwest to Española and Chamita, where the concurrency with US 84 ends. The route then traverses the Carson National Forest where US 285 now makes a long climb up to the Colorado Plateau, passing through Ojo Caliente as it ascends to the San Luis Valley. After crossing US 64, the highway passes through the village of Tres Piedras, New Mexico at the south end of the valley, then proceeds north to the Colorado border near the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument.

Option M030 (also cited simply as 030) was a "Club Sport Package" for the 1988 Turbo S and 1989 Turbo. M030 featured many components which differentiated the suspension from the earlier standard Turbo – a suspension and brake package worth noting. The option was first available on the limited production Turbo S of 1988, and continued throughout the rest of the Turbo S's production run.
Moreover, option M030 meant significant improvements for the car's brakes. Porsche commented that the braking technologies of the 928 S4 units featured on the Turbo S were "derived directly from [their] immensely successful competition sports cars." In order to achieve superior braking performance, "Porsche engineers specified top quality four-piston fixed caliper brakes on the front and rear axles of the… 944 Turbo." Along with larger 32-mm rotors (as compared with 28-mm), the S's 4-piston Brembo sourced calipers, with 36-mm and 44-mm pistons, complete with asbestos free brake pads, and vibration dampers, were coupled with an improved ABS system allowing for significantly improved stopping time. "The system regulates the rear wheels' braking force jointly while the front wheels, having to transmit more braking force, are controlled individually," which subsequently translated to better steering ability under braking.
Contrary to popular belief, option M030 did not include any limited slip differential (LSD) option. Rather, the LSD was option 220; however, the 1988 944 Turbo S and 1989 Turbo also include option 220 as standard, thereby ensuring that option M030 was packaged alongside option M220.
[*] Note: M030 information, including specification data (although not in any particular order), was sourced from, and confirmed by various articles from Excellence, Panorama Magazine, Road & Track, and documents from Dr.Ing.h.c.F.Porsche AG.
