Low Review Score Terminates GameSpot Editor?
Numerous sources are reporting tonight that Jeff Gerstmann, a longtime editor at game enthusiast publication GameSpot, was let go from the site yesterday -- over, of all things, his review of the game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.
Sources say that when Eidos, the publisher of the game, saw Gerstmann's 6.0 review score, they threatened to pull all of their advertising from the site. GameSpot is currently bedecked in interactive banners from Kane & Lynch.
I've been reading about this issue both among the private circle of game journalists that hang out at our secret clubhouse and on the Internet at large and I have to say that I'm glad most people are behind Jeff on this one. In fact, what really makes me happy is that a lot of gamers know who Jeff is in the first place. All too often I hear my friends and general online folks talk about "the GameSpot review" or "the AMN review" of a certain game, as if the reviews are coming from the faceless corporation itself. I hardly ever hear the name behind the review mentioned (unless it's for a game that the rabid gamers feel should have been scored higher, but that's another soapbox for another day). I know Jeff will land on his feet in the end, but it's still a shame this had to happen.
I do find myself wondering how much flack GameSpot, its parent company CNET, and Eidos will take from the court of public opinion, however. Advertisers should never have a say in editorial/review content. Most of the marketing departments with which I've done business know and respect the line in the sand, as it were. In fact, after I gave one game a particularly good review I actually received a follow-up e-mail from the PR firm handling the game asking if I had really truly liked it considering that most other reviews had been harsh. Honest reviews keep everybody happy in the long run. Pulling advertising over a review score may recoup a little money and throw some weight around right now, but will end up costing so much more later on down the line.
Say what you will about the Street Fighters and Mortal Kombats of the gaming world, but for some folks Nintendo/Rare's Killer Instinct series of brawlers from the Nintendo 64 era trump any honorable Japanese martial artist or four-armed Shokan prince. The Killer cast was known for being quite unusual compared to the rosters of other fighting games, so it's only natural that DanielPrimed.com would take a look back at awesome character designs from the series.
The Killer Instinct characters were very unique for their time. Especially how a lot of fighting games were borrowing heavily from the Street Fighter II model with their stereotypical ethnic based character set. Of course there were also plenty of 2D fighters with a cast full of 'freaks'. But again these were somewhat stereotypical and never up to the quality of design as KI. The excellent digitized sprites and (in the arcade) 2.5D graphics put KI ahead in its class.
The only character design that didn't quite fit in with the rest of the cast in terms of rendered visuals is the notorious B. Orchid. Limited rendering capabilities being what they were in the late 1990s, her chest always seemed to be comically out of proportion (particularly in early incarnations of the series). Of course, without her infamous breasts we'd miss out on her finishing move where she unzips her costume and flashes her opponent, so I guess it all evens out in the end.
Way back in the days of old media it seemed like a good idea to advertise a new video game or game-related product with a special short comic strip instead of a traditional advertisement. All kinds of games have used this gimmick over the years and Poison Mushroom has taken a look back at a few memorable favorites such as comic ads for Plok, Bonk's Adventure, Mario Bros., and the infamous Mario/Princess shampoo.
No doubt many of you who read comics (or at least, those who actually go and buy comic books instead of just reading scans online) know that comic books and video game advertising have been intertwined for quite some time. To that end, some advertisers actually took that as a cue to turn their page or two of space into a short comic itself, to entice their targeted audience into giving these things a try.
I remember the Plok ad quite well, and I feel I must cleanse my soul as I once cleansed my hair by admitting that, yes, I had a bottle of the Mario shampoo as a kid. As I recall, it was so-so on human hair, but my pet guinea pig was happy to be bathed with it. This ends today's MattG Childhood Flashback.
With the Writers Guild of America strike continuing on amidst word that negotiation talks have resumed, Variety has taken a look at how striking writers could potentially write stories and scripts for video games without crossing the picket line.
Virtually every videogame now has a writer who develops the narrative and writes the dialogue. Even in a plot-free game like Madden NFL, someone has to come up with the sportscasters' quips. In some cases, development studios have an inhouse writer or writers. The Halo games, for instance, have been written by staffers at Bungie Studios.
It seems to me that an influx of television writers into the gaming business will result in only one certainty: Two and a Half Men for the Sony PlayStation 3. Gamers play as lady-lovin' Charlie Harper or his hopeless brother Alan as they try to sleep with as many women as possible while quipping and zinging their way through life. There's even be a special collection of mini-games for Alan's son Jake to play on his Nintendo DS for the casual gamers out there. PROTIP: Sleep with 100 women to unlock Charlie's stalker ex-girlfriend Rose as a playable character. Get to it, Chuck Lorre!
There's a variety of thoughts on when a game ends, but I have to agree that most experiences end when the story comes to a finish. I've found that the really great games go beyond that, however. Games like Super Mario Galaxy finish the story about halfway through the initial play experience, but the fun and challenge will take you much further if you let it.
Speaking of Super Mario Galaxy, now that it's out in most major markets (just a few more days, Australia!) the time has come to ask whether or not it's met your expectations. Was it everything you hoped it to be? Did it surprise you? I feel like I'm asking the gaming version of Stephen Colbert's "great president or greatest president" question, but I'm curious on how you all feel the game stands now that it walks among us.
I hope you're not out there pounding pavement and tile at the local mall because when it comes to doing your holiday shopping I've found that the best shopping experience comes from ordering online. As is PTB custom it's time for this year's holiday gift guide to make an appearance. I've loaded up the guide with all kinds of great games for current and last generation systems plus there's even a few game-related books and DVDs. Remember that every purchase made through the gift guide helps keep PTB spinning in orbit. I should probably also mention that we've put together a gift guide over at AMN, too. I wrote the descriptive text for ten of the games on the list. Can you figure out which ones?
If I had access to a time machine one of the places I'd visit would be my old middle school lunchroom circa 1994. I'd take a copy of the new Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games for the Nintendo Wii with me and blow the minds of my past self and childhood friends with the idea that the two biggest rivals in the 16-bit console wars had come together in a single game. I would not let my past self play it, however, as that would shatter the mystique behind the surprising combination. That's right; my review of the sports mini-game collection is now available at AMN and I'm sorry to say that this officially licensed Olympic product isn't all that much fun.
What we have here is yet another collection of mini-games for the Wii, and that's really not so bad when the segments are done as well as Mario & Sonic pulls them off. Competing in an event is as simple as waving the Wii remote around really quickly or pressing the A button at the right moment. That's really all there is to it, however, and that leaves the gameplay feeling shallow when playing in the game's single-player mode. With friends, on the other hand, there's a definite competitive party aspect to the whole experience.
There's also a lot of pomp and circumstance surrounding the events themselves, meaning that before one can play an event there's the whole ceremonial aspect of one's chosen character entering the arena/stadium, optional clapping and cheering with the Wii remote and nunchuk, a review of the rules for those who need the refresher, and then finally the event can begin. Then the event ends in twenty or thirty seconds or so. Follow that up with the scoreboard and then awards screen where the winners pose and say something comical. That's a lot to go through just to jump over a few hurdles by flicking one's wrist for half a minute.
I wanted to like it, I wanted it to be great, and I wanted it to be worthy of the history it brings to the table, but it just wasn't meant to be. It looks like we'll have to wait for the real clash of the titans in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
With Thanksgiving here once again it's time for all of us at AMN to kick back for a few days with feasting and gaming. What are AMN staffers playing this holiday weekend? I certainly have my plans ready.
I continue on with Super Mario Galaxy as I reach for the last thirty or so stars I need to collect before snagging them all. Then I go on to the special secret replay incentive (if you know what I mean) and do it all over again. I probably should also play some of the things I'm scheduled to review, too, which means getting in some time with Sonic Rivals 2 for PSP and, eventually, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for Wii. I'm also still swinging around with DK Jungle Climber for DS, although I'm reaching the end of that (or, at least, I think it's the end; the Internet hasn't spoiled me for this one yet).
How about all of you out there? What's on your gaming agenda for the weekend (non-American Thanksgiving folks are welcome to reply, too)?
Sony's on fire lately when it comes to cranking out non-game PlayStation stuff. First there was the 2.0 firmware update for the PS3, then the 2.01 firmware update for the PS3 to fix some of the issues with the 2.0 firmware update, and now there's the PlayStation Network Downloader for PC users. Up until now the only way to get purchased content from the PlayStation Store on to a PlayStation Portable was to use the PS3 to make the purchase. Now with this new utility from Sony it's possible to purchase and download PS1 retro games on a Windows PC and transfer the games to the PSP. Huzzah!
The PlayStation Network Downloader lets you purchase content like demos, movies, and PSOne games, and transfer it to your PSP via your PC. Very handy for PSP owners who haven't picked up a PS3 yet, certainly, but useful even if you do have one, as you'll be able to redownload the games to your PS3 (free of charge), should you want to. You'll also be able to purchase UMD titles like Wipeout Pure, but those will only be playable on the PSP and not the PS3.
Alright, let's get to it! I can't wait to buy all of those great PS1 games like... hmm, let's check the catalog... don't like that one, don't like that one, already have that one in another format, not interested in that one... well, it's the thought that counts, right?
Whew! Stand down, everyone. The worry and outrage over Nintendo stripping away MP3 playback capabilities from the Wii Photo Channel in favor of AAC playback isn't as bad as we thought. Yes, the Photo Channel is getting tweaked, but custom MP3 soundtracks in Excite Truck remain intact.
[T]his update will not have an impact on Wii games which use MP3 music files. These Wii games will not be compatible with AAC files and will continue to use the MP3 file format.
What a relief! I forget that sometimes Nintendo will answer questions with something besides "no comment" and "we do not comment on rumors and speculation". Of course, the inevitable follow-up question has to be whether or not future games that use custom soundtracks will accept MP3s or will AAC be the format of the future? I know, I know; pick, pick, pick.

Guy Gerard Lapointe (* 22. März 1948 in Montreal, Québec) ist ein ehemaliger kanadischer Eishockeyspieler (Verteidiger) und -trainer, der von 1968 bis 1984 für die Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues und Boston Bruins in der National Hockey League spielte.

Karriere
Als Junior spielte er bei den Montréal Junior Canadiens in der Ontario Hockey Association.

In der Saison 1968/69 gab er sein Debüt bei den Montreal Canadiens, doch meist spielte er noch bei den Houston Apollos in der Central Hockey League und bei den Montreal Voyageurs in der American Hockey League.

In der Saison 1970/71 schaffte er den Durchbruch in der NHL. Anfangs hatte man noch bedenken, ob er in seinen Leistungen nicht zu wechselhaft sei, doch er brachte schnell Konstanz in seine Leistung und entwickelte sich zu einem hervorragenden Verteidiger. Gleich in seiner ersten vollständigen Saison gewann er den ersten Stanley Cup. Er wurde für die Summit Series 1972 ins kanadische Team berufen, das in einer packenden Serie die Sowjetunion besiegte. Zusammen mit Larry Robinson und Serge Savard bildete er  bei den Canadiens die "Big Three". Bis zum Ende der 1970er Jahre holte er mit den Canadiens sechs Mal den Stanley Cup. Beim Challenge Cup 1979 vertrat er erneut die NHL gegen die Sowjetunion.

Im Laufe der Saison 1981/82 merkte er, dass es schwer wurde sich in der starken Verteidigung der Canadiens weiter durchzusetzen. Er bat um einen Wechsel, um möglichen Bemühungen des Teams zuvorzukommen. Im Tausch für ein Zweitrunden-Draftrecht, für das die Canadiens später Sergio Momesso holten, wechselte er zu den St. Louis Blues. Hier warf ihn der Bruch eines Wangenknochens zurück. Zur Saison 1983/84 wechselte er noch für eine Saison zu den Boston Bruins, die versuchten die Lücke von Brad Park kurzfristig zu schließen.

Nach Ende seiner aktiven Karriere war er noch mehrere Jahre als Assistenztrainer bei den Quebec Nordiques und den Calgary Flames tätig.

1993 wurde er mit der Aufnahme in die Hockey Hall of Fame geehrt. Seit dem 8. November 2014 ist seine Rückennummer 5 bei den Canadiens gesperrt.

Q: I need help in installing tensorflow, keras, and pytorch When I import Tensorflow, Keras or Pytorch I face these errors:

I'm using Window 10 and my CPU supports AVX.
Also I was preparing my project on Python(Anaconda) and installed Keras, TensorFlow using pip(pip install keras) and Pytorch using conda
I activated my virtual environment(Test_01) before download, and I checked it again with conda list after download.
After checking those 3 programs are installed, I imported them with ipython on Anaconda prompt. and this what I faced:

Keras error message says:

also, tensorflow and pytorch says

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'

So I installed TensorFlow with pip again, and it says:

The Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets: With Critical ..., Volum 2
Per Samuel Johnson
DYER.
JOHN DYER, of whom I have no other account to give than his own letters, published with Hughes's correspondence, and the notes added by the editor, have afforded me, was born in 1700, the second son of Robert Dyer of Aberglasney, in Caermarthenshire, a solicitor of great capacity and note.
He passed through Westminster school under the care of dr. Freind, and was then called home to be instructed in his father's profession. But his father died soon, and he took no delight in the study of the law; but, having always amused himself with drawing, resolved to turn painter, and became pupil to mr. Richardson, an artist then of high reputation, but now better known by his books than by his pictures.
Having studied awhile under his master, he became, as he tells his friend, an itinerant painter, and wandered about South Wales, and the parts adjacent; but he mingled poetry with painting, and, about 1727, printed Grongar Hill, in Lewis's miscellany.
Being, probably, unsatisfied with his own proficiency, he like other painters, travelled to Italy; and, coming back in 1740, published the Ruins of Rome.
If his poem was written soon after his return, he did not make much use of his acquisitions in painting, whatever they might be; for decline of health, and love of study, determined him to the church. He therefore entered into orders; and, it seems, married about the same time a lady of the name of Ensor; "whose grandmother," says he, was a Shakspeare, descended from a brother of every body's Shakspeare:" by her, in 1756, he had a son and three daughters living.
His ecclesiastical provision was for a long time but slender. His first patron, mr. Harper, gave him, in 1741, Calthorp in Leicestershire, of eighty pounds a year, on
which he lived ten years, and then exchanged it for Belchford in Lincolnshire, of seventy-five. His condition now began to mend. In 1751, sir John Heathcote gave him Coningsby, of one hundred and forty pounds a year; and, in 1755, the chancellor added Kirkby, of one hundred and ten. He complains that the repair of the house at Coningsby, and other expences, took away the profit. In 1757, he published The Fleece, his greatest poetical work, of which I will not suppress a ludicrous story. Dodsley the bookseller was one day mentioning it to a critical visitor, with more expectation of success than the other could easily admit. In the conversation the author's age was asked; and being represented as advanced in life, "He will," said the critic, "be buried in woollen."
He did not indeed long survive that publication, nor long enjoy the increase of his preferments; for in 1758 be died.
Dyer is not a poet of bulk or dignity sufficient to require an elaborate criticism. Grongar Hill is the happiest of his productions: it is not indeed very accurately written; but the scenes which it displays are so pleasing, the images which they raise are so welcome to the mind, and the reflections of the writer so consonant to the general sense or experience of mankind, that when it is once read, it will be read again.
The idea of the Ruins of Rome strikes more, but pleases less, and the title raises greater expectations than the performance gratifies. Some passages, however, are conceived with the mind of a poet; as when, in the neighbourbood of dilapidating edifices, he says,
The pilgrim oft,
At dead of night, 'mid his orison, hears
Aghast the voice of time-disparting tow'rs
Tumbling all precipitate, down dash'd,
Rattling around, loud thund'ring to the moon.
Of The Fleece, which never became popular, and is now universally neglected, I can say little that is likely to recall it to attention. The woolcomber and the poet appear to me such discordant natures, that an attempt to bring them
together is to couple the serpent with the fowl. When Dyer, whose mind was not unpoetical, has done his utmost, by interesting his reader in our native commodity, by interspersing rural imagery, and incidental digressions, by clothing small images in great words, and by all the writer's arts of delusion, the meanness naturally adhering, and the irreverence habitually annexed to trade and manufacture, sink him under insuperable oppression; and the disgust which blank verse, encumbering and encumbered, superadds to an unpleasing subject, soon repels the reader, however willing to be pleased.
Let me, however, honestly report whatever may counterbalance this weight of censure. I have been told, that Akenside, who, upon a poctical question, has a right to be heard, said, "That he would regulate his opinion of the reigning taste by the fate of Dyer's Fleece; for if that were ill received, he should not think it any longer reasonable to expect fame from excellence."
SHENSTONE.
WILLIAM SHENSTONE, the son of Thomas Shenstone and Anne Pen, was born in November 1714, at the Leasowes in Hales-Owen, one of those insulated districts which, in the division of the kingdom, was appended, for some reason not now discoverable, to a distant county; and which, though surrounded by Warwickshire and Worcestershire, belongs to Shropshire, though perhaps thirty miles distant from any other part of it.
He learned to read of an old dame, whom his poem of the School-mistress has delivered to posterity; and soon received such delight from books, that he was always calling for fresh entertainment, and expected that, when any of the family went to market, a new book should be brought him, which, when it came, was in fondness carried to bed, and laid by him. It is said, that, when his request had been neglected, his mother wrapped up a piece of wood of the same form, and pacified him for the night.
As he grew older, he went for a while to the grammarschool in Hales-Owen, and was placed afterwards with mr. Crumpton, an eminent school-master at Solihul, where he distinguished himself by the quickness of his progress.
When he was young (June 1724) he was deprived of his father, and soon after (August 1726) of his grandfather; and was, with his brother, who died afterwards unmarried, left to the care of his grandmother, who managed the estate.
From school he was sent, in 1732, to Pembroke college in Oxford, a society which for half a century has been eminent for English poetry and elegant literature. Here it appears that he found delight and advantage; for he continued his name in the book ten years, though he took no degree. After the first four years he put on the civilian's gown, but without shewing any intention to engage in the profession.
About the time when he went to Oxford, the death of his grandmother devolved his affairs to the care of the reverend mr. Dolman, of Brome in Staffordshire, whose attention he always mentioned with gratitude.
At Oxford he employed himself upon English poetry; and in 1737 published a small miscellany, without his
He then for a time wandered about, to acquaint himself with life, and was sometimes at London, sometimes at Bath, or any other place of public resort; but he did not forget his poetry. He published in 1741 his Judgment of Hercules, addressed to mr. Lyttelton, whose interest he supported with great warmth at an election: this was next year followed by the School-mistress.
Mr. Dolman, to whose care he was indebted for his ease and leisure, died in 1745, and the care of his own fortune® now fell upon him. He tried to escape it a while, and lived at his house with his tenants, who were distantly related: but finding that imperfect possession inconvenient, he took the whole estate into his own hands, more to the improvement of its beauty, than the increase of its produce.
Now were excited his delight in rural pleasures, and his ambition of rural elegance: he began from this time to point his prospects, to diversify his surface, to entangle his walks, and to wind his waters; which he did with such judgment and such fancy, as made his little domain the envy of the great, and the admiration of the skilful; a place to be visited by travellers, and copied by designers. Whether to plant a walk in undulating curves, and to place a bench at every turn where there is an object to catch the view-to make water run where it will be heard, and to stagnate where it will be seen-to leave intervals where the eye will be pleased, and to thicken the plantation where there is something to be hidden-demands any great powers of mind, I will not inquire: perhaps a sullen and surly spectator may think such performances rather the sport than the business of human reason. But it must be at least confessed, that to embellish the form of nature is an innocent amusement; and some praise must be allowed,

4 Non Blondes howled their way onto the graphs in 1993 with "WHAT'S GOING ON?" and vanished with out a whisper. Produced in 1989 with Linda Perry (vocals), Shaunna Hall (electric guitar), Christa Hillhouse (bass), and Wanda Time (drums), 4 Non Blondes acquired no problems getting major brands based on concert events and regional radio support from KUSF, however the brands didn't learn how to marketplace them. After Time was changed by Dawn Richardson, the group was ultimately agreed upon to Interscope Information and released Larger, Better, Faster, Even more? in 1992. Although Hall added guitar tracks plus some music, she left prior to the record premiered (changed by Roger Rocha for the tour). Dominated by Perry's high-pitched performing, "WHAT'S GOING ON?" was gradually added to contemporary rock stations and crossed over in to the mainstream, peaking at amount 11 in the Billboard Best 200.

Joan as Police Woman, Brighton, 21 June 2019
Filed under: Music | Tags: Joan as Police Woman |
I was not going to do a review of this Joan as Police Woman gig as regular readers have probably read all they need to about our numerous audience experiences, most recently last year in Vienna. Indeed, I was not particularly excited about this "Joanthology" tour as it was billd as a solo set. Joan Wasser's bands have, consistently, been excellent, worthy of critical review in their own right, and extraordinarily complementary to her vocals.
So convinced was I that it would be a disappointment, I did not attempt to write a set-list or get too close (the venue, a church, had unhelpful seating – we've never sat down at a JasPW gig before). Having said that, never before have we seen a grand piano on the set. Wasser's keyboards are ordinarily electric/electronic and configured for standing only. So, all different. The audience was largely made up of Wasser devotees, and one get's the impression that very quickly she felt at ease and amongst friends. I sense one needs to have that feeling when alone on stage. Indeed, she was conscious that there was part of the audience staring down on her from a balcony, prompting the comment after her first song, "I hope none of you people are piano teachers".
So, Joanthology is Wasser's self-curated "best of" album. A triple, with the third CD consisting of tracks taken from BBC sessions. We actually have yet to listen to these, having purchased the album a couple of weeks' earlier. So, not much was new. Joanthology has a few new offerings. One of which is a song called "What a World". Now having seen JasPW numerous times, this song is familiar. Though it turns out that Wasser performed this song for a few years before she decided it was largely unperformable. The absence of the song from the repertoire and its failure to appear on any of her albums did not pass by her most devoted followers who, apparently, badgered her to do something with the song. Or, as Wasser explained, to rework it into something that she could like.
Wasser was also drawn, disarmingly, to develop the story around "Real Life". It is a love letter sent to a bloke she wanted to get to know better. The thing is, he was about 6000 miles away, so it was hardly ideal. Suffice to say, it did not quite work, but have a listen and pick out the lyrics that might have had an impact on the recipient.
Anecdotes aside, this is probably the most accomplished we have ever seen JasPW. Completely in control, at ease and beguiling the audience to a person. Whilst we did not have the best position in the church (churches have posts and generally lack raised seating or stages), it did not really matter. Wasser's vocals just danced around her rearranged songs and curated set. She had to be on top form to pull this off. She was on top form.

Personal Branding for Real Estate Agents: What Is Your DNA Code?
The entire exercise of personal branding for real estate agents is geared to cracking your DNA Code. That is, clearly and succinctly articulating your unique selling proposition—how you are different, not alike (not like your competition).
In real estate agent personal branding we identify your 0.1% difference. Then we amplify it graphically, in messaging and in distinct marketing strategies that set you apart from your competition, in a nano-second, in the minds of your target market.
The faster you can tell your target market how you are different, not alike, distinct from other agents, the faster they can decide to work with you or not. People like to do business with people like themselves. The faster you let them know you are like them the faster you can build trust in your business relationship.
What's at stake in cracking your genetic code through the process of personal branding for real estate agents? Whoever has the most high-trust relationships wins!
1. Look at how your competition attempts to differentiate themselves from one another.
2. Check out their websites and see how well they distinguish themselves.
3. Ask yourself how you are different from them?
How can you amplify your own DNA code?

Back to: As You Like It by William Shakespeare
The character of Jaques is a multidimensional character. In the play As You Like It, Jaques is an attending Lord to the banished Duke Senior. He is introduced to us as a widely traveled person. His younger days were of loose morals.
In the play, it says, "For then thyself hast been a libertine, as sensual as the brutish sting itself…wouldst you disgorge into the general world."
His vast experience is the background of the melancholia with which he is introduced to us in the play. Rosalind says to Jaques that "your experiences makes you sad."
As an Elizabethan character, his melancholia is full of humor. From the very beginning of the play, he is characterized as someone whose analytic power is very good.
Earlier corruptions might have rotten some parts of him but his insights are brilliant and yet gloomy. So, he says that he can "suck melancholy out of a song as a weasel sucks egg."
Jaques is full of ego. His humor comes from that egoistic view of life in which he constantly tries to differ from others. In the play, he is less of an actor but more of an observer.
William Hazlitt said that "Jaques thinks, and does nothing." Jaques says to Rosalind that his melancholy is in a class by itself. He analyses Touchstone deeply and their conversation reveals their depth to us and in his own words, they are rare fellows, "as good as anything and yet a fool."
Jaques is full of contradiction. He seeks society and also solitude. He is childish and yet full of wisdom. He is a courtier but when they are in the forest of Arden, he is trying to seek comfort and consolation in nature and solitude.
To the very end of the play, when he tries to join Duke Frederick because he has left the pomp and show of court, we come to understand that his character is sketched to be melancholic but without any bad intention for anyone.
Like Duke Senior says in the play that he loves to meet him in his "sullen fits" because then his wisdom and humor overflows.

Q: Ember 2 - Loading Nested Route in parent route I have two routes:

*

*/users/:user_id  (aka user)

*/users/:user_id/roles  (aka user roles)

I now want to show the user roles within the user route.
I still want to have a separate user roles route.
When user roles are being loaded within the user route, the page should show the user roles section/template as loading (Because of requests to the server for user_roles should continue to be separate, I don't want to load user_roles (ajax) from within the user route because it will slow down the route loading).
How do I achieve this?

*

*I think I can make an asynchronous component called... user-roles-component, and feed user into it like so: {{user-roles-component user=user}}. Then I can use this component on both of my routes. Except that in case of user roles route, I won't be loading model?. And I will not be violating DDAU since I will be dealing with user_roles data directly in my component.

*Or I just make a service called user-roles-service that deals with asynchronous loading of user_roles given the user and also pass it in both routes and render using a custom component that will be in both of the routes.

A: I'd create a loading state within your route and load the content of roles once you click in one button/link and pass that received content to your component.
An alternative is to create a loading state in your component as well (and probably the way I'd do). To do that you would receive an Promise from your ajax request (there are several ways to do that: .find(), .query(), ember-ajax, ember-network). You would activate the loading state of your component once you click the button/link to load the content, and once the promise is resolved you change the state of your component again.
Both ways your component can show its content once it receives the data and you preserve AUDD (Actions Up, Data Down).


I could tell you some crazy stories about my third day at the OAC convention, really I could, but if you want the really juicy details you have to come meet me at the next Convention and find out for yourself. I'm just kidding really. But on a serious note, let's talk about what I did on Day Three of the Obesity Action Coalition's First Inaugural Convention.
I'm going to admit that I probably didn't do what most people did on Day 3: I didn't attend all the Seminars for the day. I'm the type to shoot straight and tell it like it is, so let's be honest: although I have been involved in this community on and off for the last three years, I've been relatively quiet as I was dealing with the situations life handed me and working out my own personal emotional issues. Because of that, my emergence in the community is relatively new. Let me be frank: my purpose in going to this Convention was not only to meet other women in the weight loss community, but to also have the opportunity to talk to companies that have a vested interest in weight loss bloggers like me.
With this in mind I set out on Day 3 to go and meet several of the vendors and visit their booths. I figured I needed to do that first, before they closed that area. Since it was the last day of the Convention and I really hadn't found time to do that with the exception of ONE vendor, it seemed the logical thing to do.
I also took a trip over to the other vitamin vendors that were present, I like to know what products are out there to that I can recommend stuff that I feel is really good. I was very impressed with another vendor that was there as well: Ameriwell Bariatrics. I'm not going to lie, when I hit their booth and saw the multivitamin gel tabs the first thing that I thought of was a bunch of post bariatric surgery patients standing around doing jello shots. But it was just a brief moment of humor. Once I tasted the jello, and I tried the lemon lime one, I was a little surprised. It was REALLY good. I'm not sure that I could do jello everyday to take my vitamins, especially this far out of surgery, I'm at that point where I would rather take small pills than the chewable and eating my vitamins. But OMG what I would not have given to have been able to have vitamin jello right after my gastric bypass. I was never a big fan of the chewable calcium.
Of course Bariatric Advantage was there too. I used some of their vitamins very early out of surgery and I got to meet their rep as well. I have to say I tried a couple of their protein bars at the event – their crisp ones – and they were rather delicious.
I also got a chance to talk to the representatives from New Life Bariatric Supplements. I must say, this was one of the first vendors that I spoke too, and the one thing that I was REALLY impressed with by both this vendor and the Ameriwell vendor is that they both took special care to make sure that they told me that they recognized what an integral role weight loss bloggers play in this community. I spent a great deal of time with this Vendor though, because the gentleman was not only a Personal Trainer but a Life Coach as well, and seeing as that is the direction I am heading in with my career – the whole Life Coach, Personal Trainer thing – I had lots of questions and was very interested. I can't wait to see what comes of all those conversations.
The next booth I visited was that of a Personal Trainer named Bobby Whisnand Victory of Life. Now I have to say, Bobbie is the FIRST Personal Trainer that I have met who is focusing specifically on exercise post bariatric surgery and focusing on exercise that isn't just geared for fit and thin people but for the people who really need help getting started: those that are just starting their weight loss journey. Bobby and I talked quite a bit , and we even got on the floor, with me in heeled sandals, and started doing some exercises. We talked a lot about my goals to become a personal trainer and what sort of goals I had with my business, and it was so refreshing to me that someone else in the fitness field shared the same goals that I do in regard to making myself obsolete to my clients. I don't ever want my clients to feel like they NEED me to do their exercise routines, eventually I'd like to know that I have taught them everything they need to know to go forward on their own.
I was especially impressed with one of Bobby's employees who was there, who was named Justin, who had lost quite a bit of weight and had continued working with Bobby and now trains others. Bobby promised to send me a copy of his new video coming out for me to try to review, and we talked about the possibility of him doing an online training session and assessment give-away through DesperatelySeekingSlender.com! Wouldn't THAT be exciting? Maybe he'll throw an extra video my way for one of you too! We'll see, but I can tell you one thing, if I lived anywhere near Bobby Whisnand I'd be trying to get a job with him!
I purchased some Slimpressions at their Vendor booth, and then, I went to the CHIKE stand. Ok, let me say this: I AM VERY PICKY about protein. I use only ONE kind of powder and eat only TWO brands of bars religiously and have tried tons of others that I am NOT a fan of. But Remy at CHIKE handed me a sample of their Protein, Energy, Iced Coffee mix that turned into a Frappuchino type texture and I swear to god it was love at first taste. If I could queue "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers while showing you a video of me drinking the marvelous Blender Bottle they gave me, I would! But you'll just have to imagine it from the pictures I have! Remy and Jason from CHIKE and I talked a great deal, and I am pretty sure we're going to get together and line up at December CHIKE Giveaway on DesperatelySeekingSlender.com! I'm so excited about meeting all these Vendors, I feel like it's going to help me help the community more by sharing these high quality post bariatric surgery products to help everyone stay motivated!
I spent a good deal of time talking to one of the Featured Authors from the event: Meredith Terpeluck, author of "Healthy Voice Life Beyond the Weight". She and I talked quite a bit. Her book is about finding your healthy voice, and about dealing with the loss of her father and about cutting toxic people out of your lives. As I stood there talking to her about my mother and my father tears came to my eyes. She signed her book for me and it is on the top of my reading list. It's going to be my gym or bath book as soon as I finish the Kelly Armstrong book that I am currently reading. Meredith told me that I have a healthy voice and we vowed to keep in touch with each other and about the possibility of me getting involved in some new projects in the horizon of hers. I'm so very excited to meet this woman. She is one of the first people who I have truly felt has actually understood the impact of my father's death in my weight loss journey and my life. It was sort of like meeting a kindred spirit. I could have talked to her all day, but before I realized it the morning sessions were over, the time I stole to spend with the vendors was gone and it was time for the lunch with the experts sessions. You can buy Meredith's book on Amazon.com and I will be reviewing it as soon as I read it.
My Lunch with the experts session was amazing. I had the pleasure of sitting at the table of Dr. Connie Stapleton, Ph.D. and author of THRIVING! and EAT IT UP! I have to say that it was extremely validating to sit at the table with someone like Dr. Stapleton and realize that I had managed to adopt several of her philosophies as my own without ever meeting her or reading her book. Women like this inspire the heck out of me with the changes they have made in the bariatric surgery community and the effort they put into helping others achieve. BOTH of her books are now on my reading list. I can't wait to get to them. If only I had more reading time these days, but it takes me months to get through a book.
After giving up the morning sessions to see the vendors, I wanted to make sure that I attended the afternoon session that was important to me: Merrill Littleberry LCSW, LCDC, CCM, CI-CPT, who I'd met the day before, was speaking in her Mirror, Mirror on the Wall – Body Image Post-Surgery educational session. I cannot even begin to tell you how helpful I find her. From her concept of ANTS in your past (Automatic Negative Thoughts), to her concept of the 4H Club (asking yourself whether the behaviors that you are participating in are going to Help, Hinder Heal or Hurt you and using that as a measuring tool to decide whether or not you should continue to participate in it), I found myself completely enthralled with her session. Her concept of Life Accounts, and making deposits into them so that you can make withdrawals from them as well really stuck with me The five life accounts she talked about were Intellectual, Spiritual, Nutritional, Physical, Emotional. Merrill made a point during her session of discussing having to know when to let go of something you are holding on to, and how sometimes you have to let go of someone who is holding you down. This women really touched me with her session, so much so that I had to go up to her after and let her know and just talking to her brought tears to my eyes, she had touched me so much emotionally. Merrill Littleberry, Vitamin M, is one of those people who touched me in a way I will carry with me forever and taught me more about myself and my image of myself in a session than I had managed to learn in the last two years. Thank you Merrill. Your words and encouragement to talk to the folks at the Cooper Institute have influenced me beyond belief.
After the afternoon sessions were done I was signed up for a Fitness Class but I decided to skip it and head straight to the room and get ready, I was feeling a little weak, and I'd had a very emotionally stimulating day. I had already done the Cardio Sculpt class with Julia Karlstad at 7am that morning and I wanted to save my energy for the 5k run I was going to do the next morning. So at the encouragement of my friend Joy and Heather I decided to bow out of the cycling class and just head to the room and get ready for the OAC First Annual Awards Dinner that we were having that night. But before I did that, I headed up to my friend Joy's room to operate some electrical buttons for her since she was still strictly observing the Shabbat (the Jewish day of spiritual enrichment) and we sat and had a nice long talk about marriages, relationships and personal growth post weight loss surgery.
I also spent a bit of time in the evening speaking to different members of the OAC and once again found myself wanting to get more and more involved. I had REALLY planned on heading back to the room after the awards party, but once again found myself in the Hilton Anatole Media Bar and Grill, dancing until the wee hours of the morning. My alarm was set for 7am to get up and do the walk and I knew it was going to come early. But I didn't want to miss this experiences I had staying up late with my friends either.
I had one more day in Dallas and it was going to be a pretty big one for me. Stay tuned for Day 4 of my coverage of the OAC Convention, which I PROMISE will be up in the next couple of days, as long as my new niece and my two-year old nephew don't need too much from me! I'll try to get it done before the weekend comes.

Q: On screen Keyboard JButton fit text size exactly I wrote this on screen keyboard that should display a keyboard.
my problem is that i want the JButtons fit their size of the labels and not to set fix size for all of the JButtons.
for example the numbers on keyboard: "1,2,3...." should get small jbutton and the keys "backspace" "tab" etc... should be bigger (fit the size of their label)
this is the code I wrote:
package Q2;
import java.awt.*;

import javax.swing.*;

public class MainPanel extends JPanel{

    private JButton[][] button;
    private JPanel[] panel;                                                     //Array of panels for each buttons line
    private JPanel parent;
    private static final String[][] key = {
        {"`","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0","-","+","Backspace"},
        {"Tab","Q","W","E","R","T","Y","U","I","O","P","[","]"},
        {"Caps","A","S","D","F","G","H","J","K","L",";","'","\\","Enter"},
        {"Shif","Z","X","C","V","B","N","M",",",".","?","/"},
        {"                  ",",","<","v",">"}
    };

    //Constructor for main Panel
    public MainPanel(){
        super();
        setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        TextField textField= new TextField(20);
        Font font1 = new Font("david", Font.BOLD, 22);
        textField.setFont(font1);
        add(textField,BorderLayout.CENTER);

        //initialize the parent panel and array of 5 panels and the buttons array
        parent = new JPanel();
        parent.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,1));
        panel = new JPanel[5];
        button = new JButton[20][20];

        for (int row = 0; row<key.length; row++){
            panel[row] = new JPanel();
            for (int column = 0; column<key[row].length; column++){
                button[row][column] = new JButton(key[row][column]);
                button[row][column].setPreferredSize(new Dimension(key[row][column].length()+80,30));
                button[row][column].putClientProperty("row", row);
                button[row][column].putClientProperty("column", column);
                button[row][column].putClientProperty("key", key[row][column]);
                //button[row][column].addActionListener(new MyActionListener());
                panel[row].add(button[row][column]);
            }
            parent.add(panel[row]);
        }
        add(parent,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

    }
    /*
    //panel for line 1 of keyboard buttons - numbers
    protected JComponent getPanelLine1(){
        JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
        for (int i=0; i<10; i++){

        }
    }

    //panel for line 1 of keyboard buttons - Q-P
    protected JComponent getPanelLine2(){

    }

    //panel for line 1 of keyboard buttons - A-L
    protected JComponent getPanelLine3(){

    }![enter image description here][1]

    //panel for line 1 of keyboard buttons - Z-M
    protected JComponent getPanelLine4(){

    }

    //panel for line 1 of keyboard buttons - space and arrows
    protected JComponent getPanelLine5(){

    }*/
}

image:

A: As discussed here, don't set the preferred size!
// button[row][column].setPreferredSize(new Dimension(key[row][column].length()+80,30));

Instead set the margins
button[row][column].setMargin(new Insets(10, 20, 10, 20));
                       // Insets ( top, left, bottom, right )

And/or set the font size
Font font = button[row][column].getFont();
String family = font.getFamily();
int style = font.getStyle();
button[row][column].setFont(new Font(family, style, 24));

You probably don't want to create a new font every iteration, but it's just showing you how to get the defaults from the button
Doing either of these things will increase the preferred size of the panel accordingly, taking into account the size of the text contained within it

Science at the Interface
Posted October 11, 2020 October 11, 2020 Yosef Mechti
Science has performed a pertinent position in shaping our cutting-edge society. Throughout the path of history, the position of science has stepped forward from mere experiments to revolutionary and brand new discoveries that are unexpectedly propelling us into the future.
Much of this development comes from embracing the contributions science has had on the broader elements of society and how it has inevitably formed our economic, political and cultural landscape. As the theme for LIYSF 2019, science at the interface encourages us to do precisely that, reflect onconsideration on science no longer as an character subject, however as a unified and collaborative discipline.
A self-automated Zipline drone flying over a village in Rwanda, Africa
Combining extraordinary disciplines, such as technology, engineering and medicine, lets in us to suppose backyard the box, and attain new frontiers in our lookup and technology. An instance of this idea in motion is the employer 'Zipline.' This initiative makes use of a pre-programmed drone transport machine to transport clinical materials to nearby hospitals in components of Africa. The affect of Zipline is viewed no longer solely via the 13,000,000 human beings this enterprise affords pressing scientific elements too however thru its capacity to revolutionize get right of entry to to healthcare in rural areas thru the mixture of engineering and clinical innovation. Here are three different incredible examples of how science and technological know-how have been used to address some necessary problems we face today:
The automation of automobiles has lengthy been a futuristic dream; however, now not for an awful lot longer. These self-driving automobiles may also be broadly handy on the roads of Britain from as these days as 2021. Automation offers higher autonomy and manage for the aged and disabled, and the promise of safer roads thru fewer accidents.
The meat enterprise performs a contentious function in contributing to local weather change, predominantly thru greenhouse gas. With the developing consumption of meat, scientists are working on lab-grown steak as a way of making this demand for meat extra sustainable. A procedure of mobile agriculture is used, which is when cells from an animal are used to develop animal muscle tissue and replicate meat inside the laboratory.
Nanogirl is a social business enterprise that promotes science and science and advocates for equal possibilities inside this vicinity for all younger people. Dr. Dickinson, each a scientist and engineer from New Zealand, wishes to use storytelling as a way of bridging the hole between science and communication, a frequent barrier for human beings in attractive with science.
The 61st London International Youth Science Forum: "Science At The Interface"
The London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) is an annual event held at Imperial College London for young scientists from across the world to meet and learn through lectures and labs from leading scientists. For two weeks, the cohort live together as an international community to travel, learn and exchange ideas. I attended the LIYSF 2019; in this article I will discuss my experience of the event.
History of LIYSF
In 1959, the world was still gripped in the aftermath of the Second World War. As well as the lingering effects that we commonly learn about in history class – the destruction of cities, the crumbling economies, the physical and psychological effects on people who lived through it – the war also had a severe effect on scientific communities across the world, with distrust and animosity preventing science from being collaborative and communicated effectively.
To combat this, Philip S. Green set up the LIYSF under the patronage of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh.[1] They aimed to build bridges across Europe in the next generation of scientists: 'out of like interests the strongest friendships grow'. Over half a century later, the LIYSF is now truly international and becoming more accessible to students from across the world. For example, Young Scientists for Africa and other charities help to expand its reach by providing scholarships for students to travel and attend the event.[2]
LIYSF 2019
This year's conference, themed 'Science at the Interface', demonstrates how we need to work together with other scientific disciplines, businesses and governments to make a positive impact on society.
A vibrant flash of colour, the flag ceremony (see Figure 1) was championed by 75 representatives from countries across the world, from American Samoa to Zimbabwe. At the front of the theatre, students from a range of disciplines, backgrounds and cultures took their seats.
Figure 1 – the flag ceremony opening the LIYSF 2019
HRH The Princess Royal opened the preceding with a call for the attendees to "immerse yourself in the experiences offered and embrace each moment." She set the tone for the next two weeks of young scientists from around the world to get involved in scholarly debate, run their own experiments and learn from nobel prize winners.
Sir Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
The first speaker of the forum was Sir Venkatraman Ramakrishnan. President of the Royal Society, he has travelled across the world, from India to Ohio to Cambridge, UK, whilst undertaking his work. This dedication contributed to him being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009 as part of the team responsible for studying the structure and function of the ribosome.[3] This is the real powerhouse of the cell, responsible for making proteins essential for life. This knowledge allowed the development of antibiotics which disrupt bacterial ribosome activity, so prevent the bacterial population infecting the body from growing and surviving.
Today, his work may help to resolve antibiotic resistance, a major issue in medicine at the moment: this is when bacteria mutate to be resistant to antibiotics, so they will survive and continue to infect the body. When antibiotics are used, this acts as a selection pressure, so those strains of bacteria with resistance are more likely to survive and pass on the mutated gene, so resistance will become more prevalent in populations.[4] You may have recently seen advertised campaigns to always complete your course of antibiotics, or to only take them when necessary. This is to prevent antibiotic resistance from becoming more common!
Ramakrishnan's work has allowed science to progress further, with molecular biologists, physiologists, staticians and those working in marketing and public outreach all working together to solve this issue. Real science at the interface, requiring policy makers, scientists and the general public to make a change.
The LIYSF has always encouraged dreamers to go out into the world and do good. The LIYSF has brought young scientists together and inspired them to work with people from across borders and across disciplines: if we work together, we could soon be at the forefront of science.

COVID-19's Impact on Cybersecurity⟶


text:
Humanity is in the middle of a hideous pandemic. It has killed millions, cost the world tens of trillion of dollars so far — and completely disrupted livelyhood and social interaction of billions of people. But help is in sight: we have vaccines, highly effective, tried and tested on billions of people, with no severe side effects. For the vaccinated, the risk of catching full-blown covid and being hospitalized is around ten times— of dying at least fifteen times — less likely than among the unvaccinated. So, there is a chance that, in the future, our lives could return to some form of normality. However, only if a substantial majority of people actually get vaccinated. There is very urgent work to be done.
Help people to accept vaccination
The Covid-19 vaccines are very effective, but they need to be taken, and taken widely. Unfortunately, there is a vast campaign of disinformation that has led many people to be sceptical about vaccination. It is possible that a quarter to half of entire national populations will refrain from taking the shot, ensuring that Covid thrives and the world will remain a dangerous place for a long time. Imagine what it would be like if we still had smallpox. Or polio.
Apparently, we cannot force people to undergo an intrusive medical procedure. On this point, regarding Covid-19, the governments of most European countries, and the USA, agree — although, strangely, there is compulsory childhood vaccination for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, rabies, hepatitis, rotavirus... In some places people are actually being paid to get Covid vaccinated, receiving gifts and perks.
But there is a simpler solution. Issue a badge that confirms that you have been vaccinated, that you are immune and not a direct danger to other people. Let people decide with whom they want to interact directly and whom they wish to avoid. If people step back when you address them, if they pull up a mask, it may encourage you to take the step and join the community of pandemic combatants.
Many people have a reflex reaction to this suggestion: isn't that like the yellow badges that Jews were forced to wear at various times in Medieval times and under the Nazis? No, it isn't! Nothing could be more different. This is not a badge that you are forced to wear, one that discriminates against you. It is a badge of honour, s medal. You get it after you have received the full vaccination, together with an immunity passport validating it. The badge is an assurance to your fellow citizens. It's like wearing a badge that says: "I am unarmed — I am not carrying weapons." That does not discriminate against anyone. Think about it: does saying to someone "I'm vaccinated" represent any kind of discrimination?
Without the vaccination badge you may not be able to enter all restaurants and bars, it might impede international travel. That is acceptable. As a child and young adult, I was not allowed to travel to different countries without proof of smallpox inoculation. A few decades later, the horrible disease had been completely eliminated from the face of the earth. Imagine if there had been groups of people who had refused to take the measures that were mandated. We would still have untold suffering and millions of people dying of smallpox today.
What about forgery? Won't people simply fake the badge, make copies? Like they do for police badges, driving licenses, currency bills?
No, making fake vaccination badges would be hideously illegal and severely punished. For heaven's sake: put a hologram on the official badges to make copying very difficult. Use different colours for the vaccine status: green for fully vaccinated, red for boosted, etc.
And include a bar or QR code which can be easily used to validate the badge and vaccination status— and to catch counterfeits.
This is, I believe, the best way to get the world vaccinated. Use peer pressure to convince people.

The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) should aim at promoting the elimination of all forms of discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, Minister of Public Health Dr George Norton told representatives from different organisations at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre yesterday.
While 165 different entities were invited by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Appointments to join the discussion and starting of the selection process, only a fraction attended; more than half of the seats were unoccupied.
"Among many of its [ERC] functions it is very important to our society that we provide quality opportunity for persons of all the different ethnic groups, harmony and good relations between each person that will be so for many years to come," said Norton, who chairs the committee.
He said the ERC should also aim at discouraging persons, institutions and political parties from indulging in, advocating or promoting discrimination or discriminatory practices on the grounds of ethnicity.
He noted that the ERC shall consist of not less than 5 and no more than 15 members, elected through nominations. He added that the Standing Committee had tried to get all the agencies to represent the entirety of Guyana on the ERC.
Norton said it was determined by the National Assembly that the representatives consist of the religious bodies, main ethnic groups, and other movements which include the three main religions: Muslim, Hindu, Christian; the three main ethnicities: African, Indian and Amerindian; representatives for women, youth, labour and the private sector.
"It is expected that the members would be able to carry out their duties to the fullest and we are prepared to guide you to facilitate in arriving at the persons you would've appointed as representatives," he added, stating that from the selected representatives a chairman and vice chairman would be elected and the commission would also have a secretariat and Chief Executive Officer to ensure it functions properly.
"This is not new to some of us and I hope you would've learned [you are] better prepared to be part of this whole process. And for those [for whom it might be new] we wish that you will learn from this session," Norton said, stating that the commission should help in making us all better citizens and Guyana a better country. "We do this with the aim of providing you with a better life and I can assure you that our government is making it as effective as possible… I hope that today's opportunity will provide the best representation and we can look forward," he added.
Member of Parliament Gail Teixeira explained that Parliament has no authority to change any of the nominations from the non-governmental organizations, once the list is agreed on and there is a 2/3 vote from Parliament. "We don't have an authority… let's say you vote x, to move x and place y. We don't unless the person has done something wrong. There is nothing that allows us to do so," she asserted, stating that it is important that the selection is a fair and democratic one. She also explained that each commissioner would receive a stipend and urged the gathering to make sure they address all the other NGOs that were not able to make it and make sure their selections are fair. She gave a time frame of two to four weeks for the selections to be completed, stating that while some of the groups will be small, others will be large and cover a wide area.

Memorial Union serves as a community center for the University of Missouri by providing meeting rooms, technology centers, dining facilities, and playing host to many special events.  The facility was built in three stages between 1923 and 1963.

It was designed by Jamieson and Spearl, which designed most of the campus buildings built between 1902 and the 1950s.

History
Walter Miller's 1919 commencement address called for a memorial to the University's lost soldiers in World War I. Fund raising began in 1921 for a "Memorial Union" and a "Memorial Stadium" to be constructed at the University.  The names of the two projects were a tribute to Mizzou alumni who lost their lives during World War I. John Pickard, professor of art history led the campaign.  Students were encouraged to pledge $100 toward the project, and alumni were encouraged to pledge at least $200.  After more than $238,000 in pledges, the official groundbreaking took place in November 1921.

Plans for Memorial Union called for one wing for men and one wing for women.  Each of the proposed wings would cost $200,000, and the two would be linked by a Gothic tower.  The Simon Construction Company began work on the tower in January 1923, and the first shipments of cut stone for the tower began arriving in 1924.  Construction of the tower was completed after three years and dedicated in November 1926.

Groundbreaking for the North Wing took place as part of 1930 Homecoming activities; however, the Great Depression soon halted construction with only the foundation in place.  The tower then stood alone for nearly twenty-five years.

After World War II, plans were revived for the North Wing, construction began in June 1951, and it was completed for occupation in September 1952.  The next major addition to the still unfinished complex was the addition of the A. P. Green Chapel in 1959.  The South Wing of Memorial Union was finally completed in August 1963.

Traditions
Memorial Union honors 117 MU men who lost their lives in service to the United States during World War I.  Their names are inscribed on the inside walls of the tower archway.  In a tradition that dates back to a time when most men wore hats, whenever one walks beneath the archway, they are to tip their hat as a sign of respect to their deceased brothers; in addition, every student speaks at a whisper under the archway. A plaque was later added inside the north wing in which the names of 338 MU men who lost their lives in World War II were inscribed.

"of local interest" so we feel its important to keep the outside looking as good as we can. In recent years finances and time have dictated that our home has become the poor relative in a row of gleaming white houses. I took desperate measures and finally managed to convince my husband that the outside of the house really was a priority job!
The house is now a gorgeous gleaming white and I can finally walk out of my home with my head held high and not sneak in and out under the cover of darkness. One small problem is the gleaming house now shows up the old fashioned door, and not old fashioned in a cool art deco way, but old fashioned in a faux modern reproduction. It has to go!
I've had my eye on some stylish doors for sometime. Who knew there was so much choice out there. I want a door that suits the style of the house and is in keeping with the lines of the art deco house but that has a modern twist.
I think I have found my perfect door, but until its in pride of place along with the new wall mailbox (no letter box in this door you see) , I 'm keeping it under wraps.
We got our new front door this year too, it's the bottom one on your post but we haven't painted it (I know but it looks so good as it is but in year's to come I can't promise not to paint it!).
My front door just needs a paint job to spruce it up and a new knob and knocker.

Opposition candidate for president of Belarus enlisted support of local church schismatics
Minsk, March 20, Interfax - Last evening, a candidate for Belarussian president Alexander Kozulin came to an opposition rally accompanied by six clergymen of the Belarussian autocephalous church that is not recognized in the Orthodox world. They carried a cross and icons.
Speaking at the rally, he called upon the compatriots not to yield to provocation. 'It was not by chance that the last snow came. The authorities want something to happen', Kozulin said.
Half an hour before the rally there has been a strong snowstorm in the Oktyabrskaya square that seized when the rally began.
Taking advantage of the people in cassocks present at the rally, Kozulin invited all those present to prayer and began to recite the Lord's Prayer.
According to the Republican Central Election Commission, Kozulin scored 3,2% of votes last Sunday.
