São Francisco Square
Photo provided by Michael Novins.
São Francisco Square in the town of São Cristovão is an open space surrounded by a monumental architectural ensemble. The quadrilateral square measures 51x73 metres.
The most prominent monuments around the square are:
São Francisco Church and convent (begun in 1693)
Church and Santa Casa de Misericordia (18th century)
Provincial Palace
The structures are Spanish-colonial in appearance, as they derived from the Ordinances of King Philip II, at a time when Portugal and Spain were under the same crown. São Cristovão is a river port and a former provincial capital.

1.50 Poland - 26-Jan-21 -
Site visited in December 2020. Before São Cristóvão we visited 12 WHS in Brazil and they were all worth a visit. Although the Brazilian list can be accused of overloading with colonial towns, selected examples (Ouro Preto, Diamantina, Goias) were certainly outstanding in their category. However, the visit to São Cristóvão left a great dissatisfaction. The town is not particularly distinguished, the historical center is small and rather overlooked by tourists. São Francisco Square itself makes a nice impression, but it is definitely hard to notice the 'outstanding universal value' of this place. It was even harder for us, because both churches entered and the Provincial Palace were closed due to the pandemic.
The negative experience was somewhat sweetened while walking around the historic center and visiting the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Vitória open church. It seems that according to ICOMOS, adding the historic center to this entry would make more sense than listing the square itself. But even in that case, it would be by far the worst place on the Brazilian UNESCO list. Fortunately, the visit to São Cristóvão did not require us to deviate too much from our route from Serra da Capivara to Salvador. It took us maybe an hour to explore the town, the other hour to a delicious and very cheap lunch in a local bar, and 4 hours later we checked into the historic center of Salvador.

Sao Francisco square in Sao Cristovao was not much more than a typical square for the area. We weren't even sure we were in the right place but finally found a UNESCO sign on a nearby building. Surprisingly there is a lack of preservation in the surrounding streets though there are a couple of older churches. In all we spent maybe 1.5 hrs there.
it feels like they don't know what they have there. There wasn't any tourist infrastructure at all. We visited late morning mid week. We were the only obvious tourists, foreign or domestic, there were school kids running around the neighbouring streets and everything was closed, including the little tourist info office. It felt safer and cleaner than I expected given the state of northeast Brazil these days but there arent any of the quaint guesthouses or little restaurants catering to visitors you expect to see around a WHS these days.
The easiest way to visit is a side trip from Aracaju, a pretty standard coastal city with plenty of accomodation options. There is a local bus leaving from the old central bus station quite regularly and takes less than an hour. We actually caught an Uber there and took the bus back. For us it was a logical stop as we worked our way down the coast from Olinda to Salvador but unless you are in the area and have time to kill it has nothing to add to the experience of visiting those other beautiful sites.

1.00 Brazil - 15-Jul-11 -
São Francisco Square is located in São Cristóvão, a small town close to the capital of the State of Sergipe - Aracaju. It is rather an ordinary square, like so many others in Northeastern Brazil, with a simple church and a religious museum on its side. What UNESCO suggested to be extraordinary is that the square was designed in 1590 according to Spanish Ordinations, something unique in Brazil and it was to the fact that, at that time, the Portuguese and the Spanish Crowns were united under Philip II. There's a couple of other 17-Century churches nearby and a humble museum of the State of Sergipe - São Cristóvão was its first capital, and nothing more. It is difficult to understand why UNESCO chose this city to have the same status of Olinda, Salvador or Ouro Preto, majestic colonial cities. If you really want to collect this WHS, Aracaju is well served with internal flights and, by land, is not far away from Salvador.

Q: Why is Isblank() in excel formulas and Isempty() in vba showing different values? Based on this spreadsheet,

Running this line of code will return False
MsgBox IsEmpty(Trim(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(31, 1)))

But running
=IsBlank(A31)

will return True

A: It's because you use Trim.
Excel's IsBlank is very restrictive and will only ever give True if the cell is completely empty (not even has a formula that returns empty result). So if that returns True, IsEmpty on the cell's value should also return True.
But what IsEmpty(cell) actually does is detecting whether the cell's .Value contains the special value Variant/Empty. The raw cell value does indeed contain it, and IsEmpty(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(31, 1)) would return True, but Trim() turns the Variant/Empty into a Variant/String, and a string is never IsEmpty, even when it's zero length.
If for you "empty" means "contains zero length content", then you should check for Len(Trim(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(31, 1))) = 0.

Q: Regex to remove duplicate letters I have a document in Notepad++ where each line can have any combination of characters. For example:
RRGG
U
XB
UUGG
UG

What I would like, is a regex to remove any duplicate characters. So, given the above, I would be left with:
RG
U
XB
UG
UG

I've tried finding ([a-z]) and replacing with \1 based on something I'd seen online, but I got nothing. I've even tried finding ([a-z])+, but that just got me the last letter on the line(not sure why I thought that would work, other than I'm horrible at regex). I also don't want to get rid of any whitespace, or empty lines. What's the best way to do this?

A: Find:
([A-Z])\1+

Replace with:
\1

A: For me in a dutch text, generated with the duplex switch on:
find
(.){2}
replace
\1

Syracuse, N.Y. — Former Syracuse basketball star Pearl Washington's brain tumor was large and malignant, according to longtime NBA writer and New York City native Peter Vecsey.
Nauseating news regarding Pearl Washington: I'm told golf-sized malignant tumor was found & not all could be removed during brain surgery.
Vecsey also reported that Washington, 51, would receive chemotherapy and/or radiation once his health stabilizes.
Washington, still resting in Crouse Hospital, had surgery last Thursday to address the recurrence of a brain tumor. The first tumor, 20 years ago, was benign.
His fiancee, Debbie, and others close to Washington had not commented publicly about the results of Washington's lengthy surgery before Vecsey broke the news. The former Syracuse star had been admitted to Crouse last week.
Washington's friends and family flocked to Crouse last week to visit the former SU great, who dazzled college basketball fans with his creative brilliance. The hashtag #PrayersforPearl was coined to express support for the popular point guard.

Ancient Nature: Using Poison To Kill 44,000 Years Ago
Man has been killing man and beast since whatever critter of common descent crawled out of the primordial ooze. And likely before, there's just no way to know it.
But some things can be known and one of them is this; you don't manufacture poison unless you intend to kill something with it. And ancient man was interested in using the best applied science they could find.
A recent discovery shows that the Later Stone Age came to South Africa much earlier than previously thought, around 43,000 years ago, according to radiocarbon dating of organic artifacts found at Border Cave in the Lebombo Mountains on the border of South Africa and Swaziland. The Later Stone Age is synonymous with the Upper Paleolithic Period, when modern humans moved from Africa into Europe roughly 45,000 years ago and spread rapidly, displacing and eventually driving Neanderthals to extinction. They may also have been using science to kill.
Chemical analyses showed a poison used spread on sharp bone weapons was most likely ricinoleic acid, which can be derived from the seeds of castor oil plants and which was identified as being used in South Africa at least 24,000 years ago. Bone points alone could have penetrated thick hides, but the lack of 'knock-down' power means the use of poison probably was a requirement for successful hunts.
The Later Stone Age emerged more than 20,000 years earlier in South Africa than previously thought. Credit: Paola Villa, University of Colorado
"Our research proves that the Later Stone Age emerged in South Africa far earlier than has been believed and occurred at about the same time as the arrival of modern humans in Europe," said Paola Villa, a curator at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and lead study author. "But differences in technology and culture between the two areas are very strong, showing the people of the two regions chose very different paths to the evolution of technology and society."
Organic artifact assemblages at Border Cave dating to the Later Stone Age included ostrich eggshell beads, thin bone arrowhead points, wooden digging sticks, a gummy substance called pitch that was used to haft, or attach, bone and stone blades to shafts and a lump of beeswax likely used for hafting. The assemblage also included worked tusks of members of the pig family, which likely were used to plane wood, and notched bones that may have been used for counting. A wooden digging stick from Border Cave dated to about 40,000 years ago was found in association with bored but broken stones likely used to weight such sticks. The sticks and stone weights are similar to digging implements used by women of the prehistoric San hunter-gatherer culture in the region to unearth bulbs and termite larvae, a practice that continued into historic times, said Villa. "These digging sticks from Border Cave are the oldest artifacts of this kind known from South Africa or anywhere else in Africa."
The new study indicates big changes were occurring in hunting technology during the Later Stone Age at Border Cave, said Villa. They included a shift from spears hafted with stone points -- the main hunting weapon in the Middle Stone Age -- to the likely use of the bow and arrow, a technology that included very thin bone points that probably were tipped with poison.
"The very thin bone points from the Later Stone Age at Border Cave are good evidence for bow and arrow use," said Villa. "The work by d'Errico and colleagues shows that the points are very similar in width and thickness to the bone points produced by San culture that occupied the region in prehistoric times, whose people were known to use bows and arrows with poison-tipped bone points as a way to bring down medium and large-sized herbivores."
The lump of beeswax from Border Cave also dating to about 40,000 years ago -- the oldest known beeswax used by humans ever discovered -- was wrapped in plant fibers that may have been similar to fibers used to make the strings for hunting bows, said Villa.
While stone tools continued to be manufactured in the Later Stone Age at Border Cave, stone spear points from the Middle Stone Age gave way to tiny, thin flakes known as microliths that were probably hafted on shafts, much like the bone points, with pitch made from the bark of a common type of coniferous tree found in the region.
While a 2011 study co-authored by Villa and Wil Roebroeks of Leiden University in the Netherlands showed that Neanderthals mastered the manufacture of pitch in Europe 200,000 years ago, it was not a particularly simple task since the process involved burning peeled bark in the absence of air, said Villa. The Later Stone Age inhabitants of South Africa probably dug holes into the ground and inserted bark peels, then lit them on fire and covered the holes tightly with stones. "This is the first time pitch-making is demonstrated in South Africa," said Villa.
The Upper Paleolithic Period in Europe that corresponds to the Later Stone Age in South Africa also spurred complex new technologies that helped humans survive and thrive in much different environments. Artifacts from the Upper Paleolithic included spear-throwers, bone needles with eyelets for sewing furs, bone fishing hooks, bone flutes and even ivory figurines carved from mammoth tusks.
Villa said that a fundamental rearrangement of human behavior that had its beginnings 50,000-60,000 years ago in Africa and spread to Europe -- an idea first proposed by Stanford University archaeologist Richard Klein -- appears quite plausible.

Are you seeing signs of spring? Everything around me is blooming, and it's total bliss.
Cherry blossom trees are painting the sky purple. Fresh blooms are turning LA's sidewalks into flower marts. And the days are becoming just long enough to tease us.
Naturally — as any Instagram-lover would do — I've been snapping photos.
Sometimes, the most mundane pieces of beauty following winter are enough to remind us the world always gives us another chance to begin again. To grow again. To love again.
Here's a little beauty to brighten your Monday morning. Sending sunshine, sand and [spiked] coffee to my friends still buried in snow.

Should i use maven-eclipse-plugin to run the android nuxeo demo instead of Juno eclipse?
if i am going on a wrong way then please correct me on this .
I don't know what is the Eclipse "list view of items in My Document". It seems you have some Eclipse plugins and automatic build options I don't have installed or configured.
For running the demo, both options are valid. You can run it within an emulator managed by ADT from command line, a Maven plugin or an Eclipse plugin. Or you can run it on a real device. Or even in a VM (we published a blog about that solution).
Usually, at Nuxeo, when an IDE file is not easily generated, we commit a copy of it named .project.ok, .classpath.ok, … So, you can choose to reuse them (with an automatic copy) or not.
Also, we are considering as a good practice to make Eclipse and Maven use different build directories ("target" versus "bin" for instance). That is not the default behavior of maven-eclipse-plugin. See fixeclipse or fixeclipse.py.
About your issue, it sounds like such a build directories concurrency issue or a cache issue. You can delete the Android generated directories (especially the "gen" directory) to force Eclipse/ADT/Dalvik regenerate them properly.
"Multiple dex files define Lorg/nuxeo/ecm/automation/client/jaxrs/AutomationClient" => you can recursively grep your project in order to find all those concurrent compiled files for AutomationClient. That could help to understand your issue.
Finally, ADT and DEX are poorly forward and backward compliant from a version to another: sometimes, a simple upgrade of ADT is enough to fix (or break!) the build from Eclipse or Maven.
Error: - The Method putExtra(String, Boolean); is not applicable for arguments(String , Document); so i used document.toString(); After compilation it was throwing the above ClassCastException.
I just wanna ask that am i missing some other jar file for Picture View or any other file View. please guide me on this.
Did you look at the Nuxeo Android connector and Nuxeo Android GitHub repository?
05-13 15:13:38.320: E/SmartApplication(12334): An unexpected error occured!
If you have any idea about that then please guide me on that .

They're actually not kidding: This horrendous early 70s throwback — and really, in this case, "early 70s" means "longing for the 50s" — is being marketed as some sort of hip retro cool thing, when it's really just an artifact from the era that was best left dead and buried. Just one of the gang from the Riverdale of the Archie comics, Sabrina can do magic but keeps her abilities secret from her drippy boyfriend, Harvey — modern feminist interpretation can see only that a powerful chick might threaten his dubious male superiority, and so a good girl keeps her mouth shut — as well as from everyone else, from whence the supposed comedy of this series springs: "Hey, how did that mysterious and somewhat magical thing just happen?" is the unspoken refrain of every idiot Sabrina shares the screen with. The set comes complete with all 31 episodes from the 1971 animated series, plus the never-before-seen first episode of the "Archie and Sabrina Surprise Package," a late-70s syndicated series, and a pointless "art gallery." DVD nerds will note that the image and sound is extraordinarily well preserved for being nearly 40 years old.

Crucial Crew Goes Online
An annual event designed to give vital safety messages to primary school children in Pembrokeshire has moved online this year, due to Covid-19.
Crucial Crew is normally held at Withybush Showground and involves some 1,300 children attending workshops held by the Police, Fire and Rescue Service, and many other agencies.
However, this year, it will be delivered through a series of pre-recorded videos distributed to all Pembrokeshire's primary schools via HWB.
Stay Safe This Christmas
There is no escaping the fact that 2020 has been tough – with local and national lockdowns and restrictions on travel – for everyone. While Christmas may feel different this year, but the rules of the road remain the same.
Gwent Police is reminding motorists to stay safe by continuing to follow the rules of the road – which will remain the same – this Christmas.
Although the roads may be quieter than normal, it is expected that major and minor routes will be busier between Wednesday 23 December and Sunday 27 December as people travel around Wales and the wider UK to visit their families for Christmas.
Christmas Anti-drink And Drug Driving Campaign Launches
Police forces from across Wales will once again be carrying out the Christmas drink and drug drive campaign throughout December to target those who put the lives of others at risk by getting behind the wheel while under the influence.
During last year's campaign 10% of all vehicles stopped had a driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Dyfed-Powys Police Superintendent Clark Jones-John said this figure was simply not acceptable. He added, "This year has been particularly difficult and we understand people may want to enjoy themselves but we are reminding them that getting behind the wheel while under the influence can have dire consequences.
School Crossing Patrol Officers Receive Road Safety Wales Awards
The Road Safety Wales Awards recognise individuals, groups and organisations that have made a real commitment to road safety, above and beyond what would normally be expected of them.
We would traditionally invite our winners to the annual Road Safety Wales Conference to collect their award but unfortunately we have been unable to host an event this year.
Chair of Road Safety Wales, Teresa Ciano said, "Despite a difficult year for everyone, Road Safety Wales is delighted to be able to recognise so many deserving people who have made a significant difference to the lives of those in their community.
Getting about Actively, Safely and Legally this Christmas
This year, some Christmas lists may include an e-scooter, which have become an increasingly common sight as people look for an alternative to public transport or a way to cut down on car use.
Road Safety Wales would like to inform anyone considering purchasing an e-scooter, that it is illegal to use a privately owned e-scooter on public roads, pavements or cycle paths. Please don't risk being issued with a £300 fine, 6 penalty points on your driving licence or having your new Christmas gift seized.
Additionally, for a driver who has passed their driving test in the last two years it could mean a driving disqualification and the need to re-take both the theory and practical driving test.
A 24/7 Air Ambulance for Wales
Thanks to the donations from the people of Wales, the Wales Air Ambulance has achieved its ambition to become a 24/7 service.
From this month, the charity, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2021, will start operating an overnight helicopter. The cost of running a 24/7 operation is £8 million, meaning Wales Air Ambulance must raise an additional £1.5 million per annum.
The helicopter operation is supported by the people of Wales through charitable donations, with the medical capability on board delivered thanks to a unique third sector-public sector partnership between the charity, the Welsh Government and NHS Wales.
Keeping You Moving Night And Day
With the colder mornings and nights now upon us, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is doing all it can to keep the main roads open and residents moving while on their essential journeys.
This is an unprecedented year, first dealing with the severe floods, followed by the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to affect all of our lives.
Throughout all of this, Council staff have continued with kerbside collections, street cleansing and highways maintenance and praise and comments have been received from residents of Rhondda Cynon Taf, who appreciate all the work being carried out by dedicated Streetcare teams.
New Draft Transport Strategy From The Welsh Government
The Welsh Government today published its new draft Transport Strategy pledging a major reduction in carbon emissions from the transport network in Wales.
Transport currently makes up 17% of Wales' carbon emissions but the Welsh Government has committed to set new and stretching five year priorities to tackle carbon emissions as it seeks to meet decarbonisation targets.
The draft strategy, 'Llwybr Newydd – New Path', will shape Wales' transport system over the next two decades. It sets out a range of new ambitions to reshape transport in Wales, including a new sustainable transport hierarchy that will help shape investments towards greener transport options.
Two Forces, One Mission - To Tackle Impaired Driving
Gwent Police and Gloucestershire Constabulary are collaborating in an operation to target those who choose to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Following the easing of restriction across Wales and the month-long lockdown in place throughout England, local police forces are concerned that drivers will run the risk of driving under the influence as they take advantage of the differences between the two nations.
Alcohol and drugs significantly impact on a person's ability to drive safely. By choosing to the get behind the wheel of a vehicle while under the influence, a driver increases the chance of causing harm or fatalities.
Gwent Healthy Travel Charter
More than 20 leading public sector organisations across Gwent have committed to the Healthy Travel Charter, a commitment which supports and encourages sustainable travel.
The charter identifies 15 ambitious commitments to promote walking, cycling, agile working and the use of public transport and ultra-low emission vehicles.
The public sector in Gwent employs almost one in three working adults. By working together, public sector organisations across Gwent aim to increase sustainable journeys made to and from workplaces, reducing the impact on the environment and improving health in Gwent for current and future generations.

37% of Arab women have experienced violence, UN workshop hears
Muslim women in Saudi Arabia
Arab women and their protection took center stage at a regional workshop held by the UN in Beirut this week.
Held on Tuesday and Wednesday at the United Nations House in the Lebanese capital, the workshop to support women in the Arab region was organized by the UN's Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the Arab League.
The aim was to address violence against women and highlight the role of international and regional bodies specializing in women's issues, as well as their impact on the development of policies, strategies, national laws and standard services to address the issue.
"Violence against women is one of our key pillars, and we chose the topic based on the request from our Arab member states," said Mehrinaz El-Awady, director at the ESCWA Center for Women. "Most of our work is related to eliminating violence. We do studies and a lot of capacity-building on certain topics."
The center conducted a number of studies on the topic this year, adding to its seven years of cumulative work on the issue. The studies are complemented by workshops to fill the knowledge gap.
"There are a lot of initiatives done by national women's machineries, which are the government offices, departments, commissions or ministries that provide leadership and support to government efforts to achieve greater equality between women and men, but they are not all aligned with international institutions, policy and gender equality in general," El-Awady said. "There are specific requirements for legislation on violence against women, and we have six Arab countries that have done this legislation, yet we need more alignment on these legislations, to have a broader definition on violence against women."
She spoke of the potential in Arab countries to eliminate violence, which the UN wishes to build on. "We're introducing international instruments on violence against women and key pillars that should be legislation on the topic," El-Awady said.
"It should cover prevention, protection, prosecution and rehabilitation, and we're picking some of the examples of countries that have done legislation, allowing them to present the newly developed laws so other countries that haven't had a law would be encouraged to follow the same path."
Of ESCWA's 22 member states, countries that are considered to have adequate laws in place include Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Tunisia, Morocco and Lebanon. In 2013, Saudi Arabia passed legislation to protect women, children and domestic workers against domestic abuse. It was followed earlier this year by an anti-harassment law.
Other countries are said to deal with violence against women under the penal code, which ESCWA is advocating against. "When you have violence against women in a penal code, it loses the privacy," she added. "It's not violence from an intimate partner."
According to UN Women, one in three women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence at least once, mostly by an intimate partner. In some countries, that figure is as high as 70 per cent. Globally, almost four in every 10 female homicide victims are killed by intimate partners.
Violence against women has risen in the past few years in the region, which, according to the World Bank, has the lowest number of laws protecting women from domestic violence in the world. UN Women estimates 37 per cent of Arab women have experienced violence, with indicators that the percentage might be higher.
"The region has had a prevalence of violence against women, and it's one of the things we're trying to support countries (in)," El-Awady said.
"We hope Arab member states are more sensitive to the requirement of legislation on violence against women and start the consideration of having a protection order with the legislation to complement it. There's a momentum and Arab countries are now more alert — it's a phenomenon that requires attention from them."
Women and girls make up 70 per cent of all known human-trafficking victims. Adult women constitute 50 percent of the total number of trafficked people, while two in three child victims of human trafficking are young girls.
Rapists are often shown leniency or even acquitted in the Arab region if they marry their victims. In Morocco, Article 475 of the penal code, which allowed rapists to avoid prosecution if they marry their victims, was repealed in 2014 following the suicide of a rape victim who was forced to marry her rapist. Today, 700 million women have been married under the age of 18, and 14 percent of Arab girls marry under the age of 18.
"Violence against women has multiple consequences, at the individual level, within the family, community and wider society," said Manal Benkirane, regional program specialist at UN Women's Regional Office for Arab States. "It can lead to fatal outcomes and have a significant burden on the economy. Despite the ongoing efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls in the region, its prevalence and social acceptance remain high."
She stressed the importance of having enabling legislative frameworks to change the social norms and acceptance of violence, and to ensure women's access to services that meet their needs. "Otherwise, women in the region end up being violated twice, first when they are subjected to assault, and second when they are denied their right to care and support," she said. "This workshop offers the space for participating countries to share their experiences, achievements but also challenges they faced in addressing violence in the region."
More than six in every 10 women survivors of violence refrain from asking for support or protection. The remaining ones who speak up turn to family and friends.
Globally, the total direct and indirect costs of violence against women for countries are estimated to be as high as 1 to 2 percent of their gross national product, which amounts to millions of dollars worldwide.
"Violence against women (has) become a critical issue in the Arab region," said Shaza Abdellateef, head of women in the women, family and childhood department at the Arab League's social affairs sector.
"This is especially pronounced under the recent circumstances that some Arab countries suffer from, with the spread of armed conflicts, refugees and the increase of violence against women, including domestic violence. It is one of the most important issues in the Arab region today."

Umpire: Cal Hubbard Yankees: Joe McCarthy (mgr.), Bill Dickey, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, Joe Gordon, Red Ruffing.
Cubs: Dizzy Dean, Gabby Hartnett, Billy Herman, Tony Lazzeri.
Dizzy Dean, who had helped carry the Cubs to the National League pennant despite a sore arm, ran out of gas in the Series as the Yanks crushed the Cubs again, as they had in 1932. Yankee starting pitcher Red Ruffing won two games, although he allowed 17 hits in 18 innings pitched. After Game 2 of the Series, the Bronx Bombers would not return to Wrigley Field for nearly 65 years until a three-game interleague series with the Cubs beginning June 6, 2003.
Game 1 of the Series matched the Yankees' Red Ruffing, who had won 21 games during the season, against the Cubs' 22-game winner Bill Lee. In the top of the second inning, Lou Gehrig walked and moved to third on a single by Bill Dickey. George Selkirk then reached on an error by Cub second baseman Billy Herman scoring Gehrig, and Joe Gordon drove Dickey in with a single for a 2–0 Bomber lead.
In the bottom of the third, the Cubs cut the lead in half when Ripper Collins singled to lead off and moved to second on a groundout by Lee. Stan Hack's single to right scored Collins, Hack taking second on the throw home. But when he attempted to score on an infield single by Herman, he was gunned down at home. The top of the sixth saw New York extend its lead to 3–1 when Tommy Henrich belted a double to right and scored on a Dickey single. The Cubs could muster nothing further off Ruffing, who scattered nine hits over the course of the game, and the Yankees held on for the win and a 1–0 lead in the Series.
Game 2 pitted the Yankees' Lefty Gomez against the Cubs' former St. Louis Cardinals ace Dizzy Dean, who had been traded to Chicago in April and won seven of his eight regular-season wins for his new team on finesse after having lost his fastball by changing his pitching motion to avoid putting weight on the toe he had fractured during the 1937 All-Star Game (on a low line drive back to the mound by Earl Averill). Game 2 of the 1938 Series thus became known as "Ol' Diz's Last Stand".
The Cubs gave Dean a 1–0 lead in the bottom of the first when Hack singled, advanced to third on a single by Frank Demaree and scored on Joe Marty's fly ball. But the Bronx Bombers took the lead in the next half-inning when a Gordon double scored both DiMaggio and Gehrig. In the bottom of the third, the Cubs went back out in front by a run when Hack and Herman hit back-to-back singles, were sacrificed to third and second by Demaree, and scored on Marty's double.
Dean pitched effectively for the next four innings, giving up only a single to Gehrig in the fourth. But in the top of the eighth, the Yankees stormed back on a two-run homer by Frankie Crosetti that scored pinch-hitter Myril Hoag for a 4–3 Bomber lead, and DiMaggio added a two-run dinger of his own in the top of the ninth that scored Henrich. Johnny Murphy, in relief of Gomez, held Chicago at bay for the final two innings for a 6–3 Yankee win as the Series moved east to New York with a 2–0 Series advantage for the Yankees.
For Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, the Cubs threw Clay Bryant against the Bombers' Monte Pearson. Both pitchers matched zeroes for the first four innings. In the top of the fifth, the Cubs drew first blood when Hack doubled, moved to third on Gordon's error on Phil Cavarretta and scored on Marty's forceout of Cavarretta at second. In the bottom half of the inning, however, Gordon atoned for his mistake by walloping a solo home run off Bryant to tie the game. Pearson followed with a single to right, advanced to second on a Crosetti walk and scored on a Red Rolfe single to give the Yankees a 2–1 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth, New York, tacked on two more runs with a two-run single by Gordon. In the top of the eighth, the Cubs cut the lead in half when Marty hit a home run to notch his fifth RBI of the Series, but Dickey answered for the Yankees with a shot of his own in the bottom half. The Bombers held on for a 5–2 win and a 3–0 Series stranglehold.
Game 4 was a rematch of the Game 1 starters, Ruffing vs. Lee. Like the closely contested series opener, it stayed close until New York pulled away with four runs in the bottom of the eighth.
In the bottom of the second, the Yankees struck for three runs. Hoag reached on Hack's throwing error from the hot corner, and advanced to third on a Gordon single. Ruffing helped his own cause by singling in Hoag, and Crosetti's triple to left scored Gordon and Ruffing. The Cubs broke the shutout with a Billy Jurges fielder's choice scoring Demaree, but in the sixth the Bombers got the run back with Henrich's solo homer off veteran Cub reliever Charlie Root.
In the top of the eighth, the Cubs cut the New York lead to one with a Ken O'Dea home run scoring Cavarretta ahead of him. But in the bottom half, the Yankees broke the game open with a four-run outburst off four Cub pitchers—Vance Page, Larry French, Tex Carleton and Dean. Crosetti drove in two with a double off Dean, giving him four RBI for the game and six for the Series. As in Game 1, Ruffing went the distance, allowing two earned runs and eight hits with six strikeouts.
This was the last World Series game ever played by Yankee first baseman Lou Gehrig. He had one hit in four at-bats. Defensively he had five putouts and two assists.

W or The Memory of Childhood
Imprint: Vintage Classics
Written in alternating chapters, W or the Memory of Childhood, tells two parallel tales, in two parts. One is a story created in childhood and about childhood. The other story is about two people called Gaspard Winckler: one an eight-year-old deaf-mute lost in a shipwreck, the other a man despatched to search for him, who discovers W, an island state based on the rules of sport. As the two tales move in and out of focus, the disturbing truth about the island of W reveals itself.
Perec combines fiction and autobiography in unprecedented ways, allowing no easy escape from these stories, or from history.
"Perec was a haunted writer, haunted by his Jewish ancestry, by the Holocaust that coincided with his own orphaned childhood, by the death of his father in 1940 and his mother's disappearance in Auschwitz. Writing, for him, was an act of exorcism"
The Art and Craft of Approaching Your Head of Department to Submit a Request for a Raise
Things: A Story of the Sixties with A Man Asleep
Species of Spaces and Other Pieces
A Void
Georges Perec (1936-82) won the Prix Renaudot in 1965 for his first novel Things: A Story of the Sixties, and went on to exercise his unrivalled mastery of language in almost every imaginable kind of writing, from the apparently trivial to the deeply personal. He composed acrostics, anagrams, autobiography, criticism, crosswords, descriptions of dreams, film scripts, heterograms, lipograms, memories, palindromes, plays, poetry, radio plays, recipes, riddles, stories short and long, travel notes, univocalics, and, of course, novels. Life: A User's Manual, which draws on many of Perec's other works, appeared in 1978 after nine years in the making and was acclaimed a masterpiece to put beside Joyce's Ulysses. It won the Prix Medicis and established Perec's international reputation.

SIDNEY LANIER
Your High School
Mrs. Sonya T. Womack (1939-2019) (Ap Eng. , Lang. , Amer. Lit. 80s & 90s)
Sonya Faye Taylor Womack, a long-time resident of Montgomery, died peacefully on May 10 after an extended battle with Alzheimer's and pancreatic cancer. Sonya spent her final 8 years in Birmingham, close to one of her sons and his loving family.
Sonya was the third child born to Cephas Zechariah Taylor and Mary Will Culpepper Taylor in Eclectic, Alabama on November 7, 1939. She had two older sisters, Louise Taylor Norrell, and Geraldine (Dean) Taylor Roberson.
After graduating from Elmore County High School in 1957, she attended Troy State and then Auburn, where she earned a Master's degree in English Education. She became an English teacher and met Patrick Clayton Womack, a fellow teacher and small-town boy from Spring City, Tennessee, while teaching in Marietta, Georgia. They married in July 1961, later settled in Montgomery, and had 4 sons:
Jonathan Patrick Womack of Birmingham, Alabama
Kiplan Shea Womack of Lake Wylie, South Carolina
Chapman Rhea Womack of Auburn, Alabama
Patrick Owen Womack of Prattville, Alabama
After her husband passed away in 1989, Sonya raised their four teenage boys on her own. One of the greatest joys of Sonya's life was being with her boys, enjoying their antics and liveliness. Her boys were the subject of her favorite stories, and her love and pride for them was evident to all who knew her. Each of her boys married and had two children; these eight grandchildren, six boys, and two girls knew her as "TayTay." Sonya was overjoyed with having grandchildren and loved to sit back and watch the chaos when everyone was at her house.
The other great joys in her life were extended family, friends, cats, and a good book or two. The highlight of Sonya's career was teaching Advanced Placement (AP) and Senior English at the LAMP magnet program at Sidney Lanier High School, and then at Booker T. Washington Magnet School in Montgomery. She was a gifted and caring teacher, who poured into her students for over 40 years. She was awarded Alabama's Teacher of the Year in 2000, a tremendous honor and well-deserved accolade that reflected her impact on countless students and fellow teachers. Sonya was a teacher to the very end, insisting that her body be donated to the University of Alabama - Birmingham (UAB) medical school for Alzheimer's research and teaching.
Sonya had faith from a young age that Jesus was who He said He was, and the words in the Bible are truth and life. Because of this, she was not afraid of death when facing her health struggles.
Instead of fear, she had a tremendous peace, talking to one and all about what heaven was going to be like. We take great comfort in knowing that she's there now, surrounded by the love of her Savior, her husband, and the rest of her eternal family. Although she's gone home, the memory of her love, sacrifice, and generosity will remain with us forever.
A memorial celebration will be held at Danberry of Inverness, 235 Inverness Center Drive, Birmingham, AL 35242, on Saturday, June 1, 2019, at 1:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are made to Brother Bryan Mission in Birmingham, an organization near and dear to Sonya and her family.

Q: Use of electronics in programming Does a programmer need to have a deep understanding of digital electronics. Theoretical v/s practical. As what they teach us at college is pretty basic?
If yes, then do all kinds of programmers (software developers/web developers/app developers) need
it (deep understanding),
should a security enthusiast (hacker) have good knowledge of digital electronics?

A: The computing world is a world of layers.

*

*Using semiconductor physics transistors can be design and built.

*Using transistors logic gates can be built.

*Using logic gates combinatorial logic and flip-flops can be built.

*From combinatorial logic and flip flops we build digital logic systems like processors and perhiperals

*Those processors interpret a machine code and communicate with the perhiperals through memory mapped registers (or occasionally registers in a specific "IO map".

*We use compilers and operating systems to abstract the details of the hardware

*We use high level interpreted or jit compiled languages with automated memory management to abstract things even more.

Someone working in an interpreted scripting language is going to find information about semiconductor physics totally irrelevant but knowing a layer or two below the layer you are working at is often useful in understanding why things are the way they are and what solutions are likely to be efficient.

A: "deep understanding" - no. Is it helpful? - yes. You will get exposed to boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps in particular, which I have found helpful. You will get to really, really know your ANDs and ORs, but not exclusively.

A: Depending on what expertise the programmer wants to have the answer can vary. If the programmer is specializing in drivers on specialized hardware then a deep understanding may well be required. On the other hand, a web developer may have no need to get deeply into the hardware side and may just use abstractions in their career.
What you are taught in college should give you practice to know how you'll learn about a set that may well evolve over time. As new hardware is created, there can often be the challenge of how will you learn the new styles for things. Consider how there are so many gestures in mobile development that may not have existed 15 years ago.
Different specializations can require different levels would be the short answer here as while it can help to know about things, how you measure depth is also important. For example, are we talking about designing CPUs and GPUs here or just using what is already out on the market? What level of depth do you mean here? Would a Ph.D. in quantum mechanics be necessary or is it enough to know how electrons would hold a charge?


By missc2019, April 4 in Can I have ___?
Just finished my third day. All is good.
The book It Starts With Food goes into more detail behind why the rules are what they are, but this series of blog posts has some of the basic information: http://whole9life.com/category/manifesto-series/ -- look for the Grain Manifesto for more on corn, and the Legume Manifesto for beans.
Do remember that corn is a grain, not a vegetable, and beans are a legume.
Welcome! Hope your W30 experience is as awesome as mine has been.
I'd highly recommend reading ISWF. I didn't get into it until I was almost finished my first W30 and wished I had read it earlier.
Like Lorna, I didn't get to read the book(s) prior to starting Whole30... but I totally agree that It Starts With Food is great at laying everything out in a way that's easy to digest (pun intended) and gives the opportunity to read the detailed science behind the rules and suggestions. I finally started reading ISWF nearly at the end of my W30, and while I'd gone into it with eyes open and knowing beyond doubt that certain things I'd done previously weren't good for me, ISWF made it make sense and explained why that's the case. It's a little heavy, but I suggest reading the science-y details through the whole thing, because it's honestly fascinating. Food Freedom Forever is also a great one, but it lets ISWF handle the scientific lifting so I wouldn't skip ISWF if I had the option to read it first.

Home News Chisora stops Price with fourth-round TKO
Chisora stops Price with fourth-round TKO
sport reporter
LONDON — Zimbabwe-born British heavyweight boxer Derek Chisora battered his way back to the fringe of world heavyweight title contention with a relentless brutalising of Davd Price.
The salvo lasted for three rounds and two minutes, long enough to sink Price to his unfulfilled career knees. Albeit not the single massive blow which he has been undergoing at key moments earlier in his career.
Price had weathered a series of massive right hands from the start and it took a double whammy to put him down in the fourth, an uppercut and a hook.
Still he was able to drag that huge frame upright but referee Howard Foster was alarmed. Even as he asked Price if he was alright to continue —and doubting the nodding response — Price's cornermen threw in the towel.
The end of the road, perhaps, for Price but a corner turned for Chisora.
His manager and former heavyweight champion David Haye said: "There is a now good chance of Dereck getting a world title shot next year as one of two of the belts fall vacant."
Chisora made his entrance as usual with his face concealed by a red, white and blue Union flag under a white hood to match his embossed robe.
Price, of course, was in red.
Chisora, befitting his new pseudonym, went on the attack from the start, clearly winning the first even though he charged into three or four meaty punches from Price late in the round.
Chisora was warned twice for low blows, one so low it might have performed a cartilage operation on Price's knee.
No doubt to the surprise of Chisora and most of the audience, Price absorbed a succession of huge rights in the third, any one of which might have put him down and perhaps out in the past.
More of the same in the fourth proved too much, too heavy, too redolent of serious harm.
Price finally went down from a pair of rights — uppercut and hook. Gamely he rose to his fight and referee Foster was debating whether to call a halt when the white towel came fluttering across the ring. — Daily Mail

The quality of circular knitting pins can be seen from the flexibility of the perlon cord. On Prym circular knitting pins the cord is snap-proof, flexible and antistatic. The transition from the shaft is completely smooth and elegantly proportioned. The stitches slide so smoothly from shaft to cord and vice versa that you will not want to stop knitting.
