THIS DAY IN HISTORY… JUNE 10
1540 – Thomas Cromwell arrested.
Cromwell was one of the most skillful political manipulators and power brokers of all time. He worked his way up through Parliament, military, and the royal court until he was the right hand man of King Henry VIII. Whenever Henry became bored with a wife, Cromwell was there to make the Queen "disappear." He protested against the pope and the Catholic Church and was instrumental in creating the Church of England. It could be argued that he helped establish the church so it could annul the king's marriage to Anne Boleyn, who was eventually charged with treason and beheaded. Cromwell began to fall out of favor with the king when the marriage he arranged for him with Anne of Cleves of Germany was a spectacular disaster. His political enemies used this to gain their own favor with the king. He was charged with treason and executed by beheading, the same fate he had been responsible for inflicting upon so many others.
The ultimate fixer. But what goes around comes around, as a certain current fixer is probably starting to figure out.
1940 – Norway surrenders to Germany.
Despite Norway declaring its neutrality, Germany attacked it two months earlier. The outmatched Norwegian forces were quickly overwhelmed. They were also sabotaged from within by a fifth column of internal fascist forces led by Vidkun Quisling, a former Norwegian minister of defense. Quisling was set up by the Nazis as head of a puppet government but resistance against him remained strong. Norway's underground resistance movement against the Nazis was especially effective.
After the war Quisling was arrested, tried and shot. In a number of languages the word "quisling" now translates into "traitor."
That's quite a legacy to leave behind.
1945 – USS William D. Porter sunk.
The destroyer was sunk by a kamikaze during the battle for Okinawa. The "Willie Dee," as her crew named her, was also called the unluckiest ship in the Navy. Commissioned in 1943, she had a history of doing the wrong thing. Among her misdeeds, she backed into another ship causing extensive damage, she accidentally discharged a five-inch gun with the shell landing on a Navy commander's lawn, and she shot down three American planes and shelled another destroyer. But most significantly she also almost killed President Roosevelt.
FDR was on the battleship USS Iowa, on his way to Casablanca to meet with Churchill. The Willie Dee was one of the escort ships. The mission was top secret of course, and radio silence was to be maintained. During gunnery practice the Willie Dee somehow fired a fully armed torpedo directly at the Iowa. Frantic, the Willie Dee broke radio silence to warn the Iowa to take evasive action, which it did, and the president was saved.
Infuriated, the Navy wanted to cashier the entire crew but FDR intervened, saving them. The joke in the Navy after the incident, whenever the Willie Dee or its crew was seen, became "Don't shoot, we're Republicans."
Luck finally went Willie Dee's way at Okinawa, sort of. A kamikaze, attempting to crash into the ship, missed. Instead it crashed next to the ship, and sunk. But then its bomb went off anyway, underneath the ship. The explosion lifted the Willie Dee out of the water and ruptured its hull. Despite damage control efforts, the ship had to be abandoned and it sank. The luck? Well, the entire crew survived and was rescued; there wasn't a single casualty.
If I had been in the Navy at that time, somehow I have the feeling I would have been assigned to the William D. Porter.
1637 – Jacques Marquette.
French explorer and Jesuit missionary. Fluent in six Native American languages, Marquette founded Sault Ste. Marie and St. Ignace, Michigan. He teamed up with Louis Joliet to explore the upper Mississippi valley. Joliet's intent was to trade for furs and map the region while Marquette's was to convert the natives to Christianity. (At least they combined for one noble endeavor.) Marquette established a mission in Green Bay and later camped for a winter at a site that now is Chicago. Weakened by dysentery, Marquette was on his way back to St. Ignace when he died at age thirty-seven. Marquette's legacy is that he has many towns, counties, and even one university named after him.
We even have Marquette Avenue in Minneapolis.
1865 – Frederick Cook.
Arctic Explorer. Cook may or may not have been the first man to reach the North Pole. He was a physician and one time associate of Robert Peary, who also may or may not have been the first man to reach the North Pole. Since the North Pole is a shifting mass of ice and open water, no flag could be planted to offer proof. Cook claimed to reach the pole in April 1908, almost a full year before Peary's 1909 claim. Peary, with superior financial backing, spent considerable effort discrediting Cook's claim. Hurting Cook's case was that he also claimed to have been the first to scale Mt. McKinley, and this too was doubted. Eventually Peary was credited with being first and Cook a fraud. There are some modern day findings that now favor Cook but the issue nevertheless remains controversial.
The fact that Peary was a self-promoter and in it for the fame and fortune, and Cook had more of a scientific bent makes me want to favor Cook. But I'll guess we'll never know.
1959 – Eliot Spitzer.
Attorney General, Governor of New York and hypocrite of the highest order. A relentless crusader against crime, he was forced to resign when his activities involving a prostitution ring were uncovered.
About the best thing that could be said about Spitzer was at least his name wasn't Anthony Weiner.

Return to Seoul ***
by Davy Chou
French film, 1 h 55
The search for one's origins when one is an adopted child is often a painful path. Especially when you wear your country of birth on your face but you don't share its culture. It is the whole point of Davy Chou's film to show to what extent this process can be, for those who undertake it, both a source of suffering and a liberation. The strength and accuracy of his remarks undoubtedly come from the experience of one of his close friends, adopted in South Korea, and whom he accompanied on the spot during a meeting with his biological family. She joins her own story of a French child, born of Cambodian parents, who at one time felt the need to return to his country of origin.
A rough heroine
Freddie, her heroine, who arrives in Seoul on a whim and starts looking for her biological parents, is all rough. Impulsive, provocative, unsympathetic, she wears her ill-being over her shoulder and bristles when she is assigned an identity that she refuses to endorse. Built in three stages, the film recounts her failed reunion with her father, then her drift two years later to the slums of Seoul, where she ended up settling, before her return there seven years later to try to definitively settle the accounts of this story. Each time, her life takes an unexpected turn.
Davy Chou writes his score with virtuosity, handling forms and music, according to his character's moods, making the South Korean capital a place as fascinating as it is toxic for her. In the role of Freddie, Park Ji-min, visual artist of Korean origin, contributes greatly to restoring the full range of feelings that run through the young woman. It allows this film, full of sound and fury, to refuse the facilities associated with its subject – international adoption – in order to explore all of its violence and complexity.

A friend sent this interesting observation about the alignment of the stars in the next month... Happy Easter!
It is a rare event that won't happen for another 1500 years and you won't read about it in the newspaper for it takes the careful studies of John Pratt, Meridian's Science and Religion Editor and a Ph.D in astronomy and expert in ancient calendars, to have discovered this. He says: "Have you noticed Venus, the Evening Star, currently blazing in the west after sunset? From Native American traditions we learn that in this phase it represents the Savior when he was at the heights of his ministry. In March it will plunge into the darkness below the horizon even as the Savior conquered the forces of death in the underworld. Then, in an extremely rare event, Venus will resurrect precisely on Easter (April 15, 2001) as the Bright Morning Star. That rare coincidence, which won't happen again for fifteen hundred years, can be witnessed around the world just before dawn on Easter Sunday wherever the eastern horizon is low and clear. This extraordinary sight was also witnessed on that Easter Sunday morning long ago when death was conquered by the Savior of all mankind.


During a six-month recovery from a run-in with a table saw that left him injured and bored, Hatton discovered a career that would allow him to make a name for himself by turning common items into blue-tooth hi-fi boomboxes. Using old suitcase and YouTube videos, Hatton built his first boombox as well as the beginning of a "booming" business.
Hatton comes from a family that values and appreciates the arts. With an art teacher mother and a woodworker father, Hatton has been making things for as long as he can recall. Creativity and the need to tinker are in his blood and fuel his need to always be doing something with his hands.
After earning a degree in theology and student ministry, Hatton moved to California, but the career left him seeking more, and he found himself back home in Arkansas where he worked a variety of jobs, most recently as a product designer for a local company. Hatton developed an interest in building reclaimed wood furniture, a hobby he enjoyed and would likely still be happily doing if not for a severe injury from a table saw.
Following surgery on a cut finger, Hatton was forced to keep the finger bandaged and his hand relatively immobile for over six months. With nothing but time on his injured hands and limited use of them, Hatton sought out something he could do to stave off boredom. Recalling a boombox he had seen nearly ten years earlier while in California, Hatton had been intrigued by the device made out of an old suitcase and a set of speakers but had walked away from the $1200 price tag.
Jon Hatton's first handmade boombox.
That day came about five years ago when Hatton dug out a tattered old suitcase, cut a few holes in it and added some speakers. He toted it to a party and immediately began receiving requests from friends. His first boomboxes seem almost primitive compared to his more recent projects, but interest grew quickly and with it, the need to learn new skills and improve his craftsmanship.
Being familiar with the art communities and arts and craft movements in the Central Arkansas area, Hatton was no stranger to the Innovation Hub located in North Little Rock. Taking a laser cutting class at the Hub, he realized he could use the technology to cut the holes in his suitcases. The precision of the laser cuts immediately improved his craftsmanship, but, more importantly, it allowed him to make his own box enclosures which meant he could expand his design ideas beyond the fun but limited confines of a suitcase.
Still working full time as a product designer, Hatton continued to grow his business but wasn't able to devote himself to making speakers full time. Since most of his design concepts required the use of a laser cutter, Hatton was also limited by the availability of studio time at the Innovation Hub. Dedicated and determined, he saved up enough to purchase his own laser cutter which increased his production. Hatton left his product design job about four months ago and now makes boomboxes full time.
One of the things Hatton enjoys most about his job is that it requires a constant learning curve. New technology and new opportunities to learn something keep Hatton looking for new ways to take his work to the next level. A recent commissioned piece led Hatton to learn how to use computer programming to build a speaker with sound reactive lighting. He researched and found the best type of lights for the project and pulled the project together in about four weeks.
Hatton still makes boomboxes out of old suitcases, but his products have become more advanced and more unique with many of his more recent pieces showcasing his intricate laser cutting skills. Most recently, Hatton has been using old hardcover books for his projects. He removes the pages and builds the speaker enclosure from the book cover. The finished product can be placed on a bookshelf when not in use.
Recycling speakers and batteries that he has collected over the years, Hatton tests all of his boomboxes for exceptional sound quality and ensures that they provide at least six hours of battery life. Though most of his pieces are compact and portable, Hatton is not afraid to think outside of the boombox and has recently taken on several large-scale projects including a speaker made out of a whiskey barrel for Rebel Kettle Brewery and a five foot tall, sound reactive LED box for Few that debuted at the 2018 Roots Festival in Fayetteville.
Custom crafted and uniquely functional, Hatton's speakers are not inexpensive, so he has begun offering smaller pieces to meet the demands of his growing fan base. Each piece shows off his unique style of handiwork while also allowing customers to make a more modest investment. Hatton produces a variety of laser cut items including handheld maze toys and teeny-tiny music boxes, and he has been experimenting with lighting projects using old skateboards and other fun materials.
Although Hatton has been making boomboxes for nearly five years, Rock City Thumps is a young company making big soundwaves in a new and unique marketplace. As he takes on more and more projects (he is already working on several commissioned pieces heading into the holiday season), Hatton's boomboxes provide a multi-generational appeal. Having sold his pieces to customers as young as 15 to well into their 60s, Hatton believes a universal love of music and a fascination for the unusual and extraordinary make his boomboxes appealing across multiple ages and demographics and allows his clients to showcase their music in a special way.
Hatton hopes to open a storefront one day, but until then, he will exhibit and sell his work at festivals and craft fairs. You can also find his work locally at South Main Creative and Kiehl Avenue Antique Mall. You can purchase his products online at his Etsy shop and keep up with his latest projects on Instagram and Facebook.

Q: Rails application unable to connect to mysql, Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' (2) (Mysql2::Error) I'm currently stuck on what is (I hope a newby) problem with a rails project (this is my first rails project and so I apologise if I miss anything crucial). I've been at this for a couple of hours and can't seem to find any solutions. I have tried the solutions to the following threads with no avail.
connect to local MySQL server through socket
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
The list goes on, anyway some of the threads are similar to my situation others are just clutching at straws. Let me give you a quick overview of my situation.

*

*The project has been developed on a mac

*

*I have recently set up a test server as a means of learning the deployment process

*The server is running Ubuntu Server 12.04

I managed to follow some tutorials to set it up including the Capistrano deployment tutorial up to the point of:
$ rake RAILS_ENV=production db:schema:load

which was where I first encountered the Can't connect to local MySQL server error.
if I run it with --trace I get the following output:
** Invoke db:schema:load (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' (2)

I would like to point out that the location /usr/share/ruby-rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318@rails_3_2/gems/mysql2-0.3.11/lib/mysql2/client.rb is valid. Also, mysql is running and I can access it with:
mysql -u production -p

A: /tmp/mysqld.sock is the location of the socket for OSX.
On linux Mint/Ubuntu, it should be at /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock.
If it's not, then the location should be referenced in one of the MySQL config files, named my.cnf. The location and load order of these files will print out if you enter
mysql --help
into a terminal. If you can't find the my.cnf file at the specified path, it doesn't exist, so ignore it, and look to the next one in the load order.
^ That is the simple, surefire way to verify your socks configuration.
Josh Lewis's answer should be valid, as my Rails 4.0.3 install defaults to omitting the socket line - so I'm assuming it's predefined or auto-configured by the installation, and it's not something you should have to worry about.
Not to revive an old question, but it comes up as a top listing on Google search.

A: You can alternatively remove the socket specification from the production environment in database.yml
production:
  # socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock

I understand performance is reduced slightly, but it got me through a similar problem.

A: Some random ideas:

*

*Who is the owner of /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock? I know it's in a first link you mentioned, but maybe you missed it. Is it accessible for user from whom you run commands?

*Maybe default MySQL port (3306) is blocked? I suppose it may prevent Rails, even when you're running things locally since in Unix design ports are everywhere. If you're running on Amazon, notice that they keep all ports closed by default (as well as dropping all PING requests by default, but that's another issue) and you may have to click through options in their dashboard

*try to add host: 127.0.0.1 and port: 3306 to your production config settings

*try to remove pool and reconnect options and see what happens (that's a totally wild guess)

*there are some ideas over there, that in such case you should uninstall mysql-client and mysql-server packages and install them again, but I've not seen a point why is that

A: $ mysqld
f error "mysql-files" dir
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/mysql-files
$ sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql-files/
$ sudo chmod 700 /var/lib/mysql-files/

Der Hillman Avenger war ein ab Februar 1970 in Ryton-on-Dunsmore und später in Linwood bei Glasgow, Großbritannien produzierter Mittelklassewagen des britischen Automobilherstellers Rootes. Das Fahrzeug wurde anfänglich unter der zum Rootes-Konzern gehörenden Marke Hillman vertrieben, ab 1976 hieß es Chrysler Avenger und ab 1979 Talbot Avenger. Auf einigen kontinentaleuropäischen Märkten wurde der Wagen schließlich zeitweise als Sunbeam Avenger verkauft. Südamerikanische Chrysler-Niederlassungen und deren Nachfolger produzierten den Avenger jahrelang in Lizenz; dort wurde er unter den Markennamen Dodge und Volkswagen vertrieben. Auf der verkürzten Plattform des Avenger entstand schließlich auch das zweitürige Schrägheckmodell Chrysler Sunbeam mit gläserner Heckklappe.

Entwicklungsgeschichte

Der Avenger wurde ab 1966 als Nachfolger des Hillman Minx unter dem Codenamen B-Car entwickelt und sollte eine moderne, kompakte und sparsame Alternative in der Mittelklasse sein. Er trat im Marktsegment neben die seit 1966 produzierten Modelle der Arrow-Familie (Hillman Hunter usw.), die geringfügig größer, in Technik und Stil aber konservativer waren. Konkurrenzprodukte anderer Hersteller waren der Ford Cortina, der Morris Marina und der Vauxhall Viva.

Der Avenger war vollständig neu entwickelt. Die Rootes-Gruppe übernahm keine technischen Komponenten von ihren anderen Autos, obwohl sie sich in einigen Details konzeptionell an anderen Modellen orientierte. Der Avenger hatte eine selbsttragende Karosserie. Die Vorderräder waren einzeln mit MacPherson-Federbeinen aufgehängt und hinten wurde eine Starrachse an vier Lenkern (zwei längs, zwei diagonal) mit Schraubenfedern verwendet.

Das Design wurde unter der Leitung von Roy Axe entwickelt. Anders als bei den Modelle der Arrow-Familie, deren Form betont nüchtern ausfiel, orientierte sich das Designteam am amerikanischen Geschmack. Bereits die ersten Entwürfe zeigten eine so genannte Coke-Bottle-Linie, also eine Wölbung über den Hinterrädern, die in die Kofferraumlinie überging.

Als der Wagen im Februar 1970 herauskam, gab ihm die englische Motorpresse gute Kritiken für sein Fahrverhalten, das das des Morris Marina des Konkurrenten BMC in den Schatten stellte.

Baureihen

Erste Serie
Der Avenger war in den Ausstattungslinien DL, Super und GL zu kaufen. Die Modelle DL und Super waren mit 1250- oder 1500-cm³-Motoren erhältlich, der GL jedoch nur mit 1500 cm³-Motor. Der DL als einfachstes Modell war innen mit Gummifußmatten und einem sehr einfachen Armaturenbrett mit Breitbandtacho ausgestattet. Der Super war etwas besser ausgestattet und hatte Teppiche, Armlehnen, eine Zweiklangfanfare und Rückfahrleuchten, aber immer noch das einfache Armaturenbrett des DL. Die höchste Ausstattungslinie GL hatte Doppelscheinwerfer, einen Hebel zum Öffnen der Kofferraumklappe vom Fahrgastraum aus, Scheibenwischer mit zwei Geschwindigkeiten, gebürsteten Nylonbezug für die Sitze und ein Armaturenbrett mit Rundinstrumenten.

Nicht nur das Design des Avenger war neu, sondern auch seine Motoren und Getriebe, die denen des größeren Modells Hunter entsprachen. Ebenfalls neu war der erste Kunststoff-Kühlergrill in Großbritannien. In den 1970er-Jahren verkaufte sich der Avenger gut trotz der Alternativen Ford Escort und Vauxhall Viva.

Im Oktober 1970 wurde der Avenger GT eingeführt. Er hatte einen 1500 cm³-Motor mit Doppelvergaser und ein manuell zu schaltendes Vierganggetriebe oder auf Wunsch ein dreistufiges Borg-Warner 35 Automatikgetriebe. Der GT hatte Seitenstreifen an den Türen und Radabdeckungen aus Kunststoff.

Ab Februar 1972 gab es den Avenger als Flottenfahrzeug mit beiden Motorvarianten, aber einfacher (Behörden-)Ausstattung. So fehlte zum Beispiel am Beifahrersitz die Sonnenblende. Später gab es auch dieses Fahrzeug auf Wunsch mit Automatik.

Im März 1972 kam der 5-türige Kombi in den Ausstattungslinien DL und Super, ebenfalls mit beiden Motorvarianten. Im Oktober des gleichen Jahres ersetzte der Avenger GLS mit Vinyldach und Rostyle-Sporträdern den GT.

Ab März 1973 wurden zusätzlich 2-türige Limousinen angeboten.

Avenger Tiger

Gleichzeitig erschien der Avenger Tiger, dessen Konzept an den Sunbeam Tiger erinnern sollte. 4-türige Avenger Super erhielten den GT-Motor mit 1,5 Liter Hubraum, die es durch einen neuen Zylinderkopf mit größeren Ventilen und einer Verdichtung von 9,4 : 1 sowie Weber-Doppelvergaser auf 92,5 bhp (68 kW) bei 6.100/min. brachte. Die Radaufhängungen wurden verstärkt und die Bremsen, die Hinterachse und das Getriebe des GT übernommen. Die typische Farbgebung dieser Wagen umfasste mattschwarze Motorhauben, Heckabschlussbleche und Seitenstreifen mit der Aufschrift "Avenger Tiger" auf den hinteren Kotflügeln. Es gab aber auch andere Farben. Die Wagen beschleunigten in 8,9 s von 0–100 km/h und erreichten eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 173 km/h. Das waren bessere Fahrleistungen als beim Ford Escort Mexico, aber der Benzinverbrauch war dementsprechend hoch. Alle Avenger Tiger wurden vom Chrysler Competitions Centre montiert; es entstanden ca. 200 Stück vom Mk. I.

Im Oktober 1972 wurde der Avenger Tiger Mk. II herausgebracht. Diesmal verwendete man die Karosserie des GL-Modell mit Doppelscheinwerfern. Mechanisch entsprachen diese Wagen dem Mk. I, hatten aber keine Hutze mehr auf der Motorhaube und veränderte Sitze und Räder. Von den nur in gelb und rot mit schwarzen Verzierungen erhältlichen Fahrzeugen entstanden ca. 400 Stück.

Zweite Serie

Im Oktober 1973 wurden beide Motoren überarbeitet. Die Hubräume worden vergrößert: 1,3 statt 1,25 l und 1,6 statt 1,5 l. Die einfach ausgestatteten Flottenmodelle fielen weg. Die Modelle hießen nun "Avenger 1300", bzw. "Avenger 1600", und alle Ausstattungsvarianten (DL, Super und GLS) waren mit beiden Motorvarianten zu kombinieren und 2- oder 4-türige Limousine oder 5-türiger Kombi erhältlich.

Chrysler Avenger

Nach einem Facelift im Jahre 1976, bei dem der Avenger einen neuen Kühlergrill und ein neues Armaturenbrett bekam und die markanten L-förmigen Rückleuchten verlor, wurde der Wagen als Chrysler Avenger vertrieben.

Talbot Avenger
1978 musste Chrysler Europe Konkurs anmelden und wurde von Peugeot übernommen. Die verbliebenen Modelle Avenger und Sunbeam Lotus wurden zu Talbot Avenger und Talbot Sunbeam Lotus. Im Jahre 1981 wurde die Produktion in England eingestellt.

Export und Lizenzproduktion

Chrysler wollte aus dem Avenger ein "Weltauto" machen. In den USA wurde er als Plymouth Cricket vermarktet. Klagen der US-amerikanischen Kunden über die Unzuverlässigkeit und Rostanfälligkeit des ohnehin ungeliebten "Kleinwagens" führten nach zwei Jahren zur Einstellung dieses Modells.

In Australien und in Teilen Europas wurde der Wagen auch als Sunbeam Avenger und als Sunbeam 1250/1500 verkauft. In Südafrika baute man Motoren von Peugeot ein und verkaufte das Ergebnis als Dodge.

Chrysler do Brasil produzierte das Modell von 1971 bis 1980 als Dodge 1500 (1,6 l Hubraum) und Dodge 1800 (1,8 l Hubraum, in Argentinien Dodge 1500M) in leicht abgewandeltem Design mit größeren Stoßfängern, Vierfachscheinwerfern, schlichteren Rückleuchten und größerem Hubraum. Ab 1977 nach einem Facelift im Stil des Chrysler Avenger wurde das Fahrzeug als Dodge Polara (nicht zu verwechseln mit dem gleichnamigen US-Modell) bezeichnet. Als Volkswagen 1980 die südamerikanische Produktion von Dodge übernahm, wurde der Name noch bis 1982 beibehalten und mit dem Zusatz "made by Volkswagen Argentina" versehen. Das letzte Facelift 1982 brachte die Umbenennung des auch als Taxi beliebten Modells in VW 1500 (nicht verwandt mit dem gleichnamigen deutschen VW-Modell Typ 3) unter dem Slogan "Con una garantía alemana"; diese Bezeichnung wurde bis zum Produktionsende 1990 beibehalten.

I apologize for the delay in posting; it wasn't because I was on Cloud 9 after my evening spent with CISSSO last week. Rather, I had Army afterwards on Thursday night and was on Father duty all weekend. Reference last Thursday's meeting with CISSSO, I want to offer my impressions. Ultimately, while I wasn't impressed by my first date with CISSSO, it looks like I'll be going back for more.
On Thursday 26 Jan 17th, I, along with other members of Pontiac Voice, attended a quasi-public meeting with CISSSO – the Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de l'Outaouais – with the aim of airing our grievances with CISSSO publicly. The Pontiac Voice committee members put a lot of work into making sure we were set up proper despite some of the hoops CISCSO made us jump through.
As you're probably aware if you're reading this, the CISSSO Board of Directors, appointed by the provincial Quebec government, has decided that the Shawville hospital must impose parking fees on visitors and workers in order to be standard with city hospitals. This, despite the hospital being located in a rural town that offers free parking, well, everywhere.
In addition to nickle-and-diming Pontiac residents and healthcare workers with this parking scheme, CISSSO has decided to further punish our region by shuttering the Pavillion du Parc facility located in Shawville. I will have much more writing on this travesty in the near future.
Getting back to last Thursday, I want to offer my congratulations to all that made the trip to Gatineau for the meeting, and in particular, I want to commend the Pontiac Voice committee members that organized questions to the board.There was a journalist from the Journal du Pontiac, as well as The Equiy, present for the show – good on them for showing up. CBC was present and probably other media outlets. Unions were very well represented and it was fantastic to see them get behind the Pontiac. There was political representation from one party several parties present, but I'm trying to keep politics out of this for now so I won't spend too much time on them yet.
My sense was that a lot of people affiliated with CISSSO, at least those seated around the table at the front, were nervous about our presence. No doubt the presence of the unions added to what I perceived were feelings of apprehension on CISSSO's end. Overt politeness combined with nobody wanting to look me in the eye when I asked my questions, combined with the way the event itself was structured make me think that everybody was a little uneasy about being called out on the parking situation. As they should have been.
Prior to going into the meeting room we have to register to ask questions by making sure our names and contact info were written on a piece of paper at the entrance. It was very bizarre; a number of people were crowded into a tiny hallway waiting to get into the room, which we weren't allowed into until the Board had presumably debated on how to best handle us.
We had zero time for discussion with board members once we were actually let into the room. Adding to the oddities of the evening, we were only given a few minutes each to ask our questions and there was zero effort made to offer us any immediate answers. Talk about not knowing your files. My initial thought was to bully the Board into at least responding to some of my questions, but given the severely limited time we had, I halted. I worried that the Board would try to justify shutting the whole thing down by saying I had used up all of the allotted time, and that I would have prevented the Union and others from being able to speak.
So, with no answers to our questions given to us on Thursday we are to be followed up with in due course. All in all, the question session with no answers we were allocated felt like a get-them-in-quick-get-them-out-quick affair. They couldn't have held this in the Pontiac? For shame.
I put a number of items in writing to CISSSO's media relations person Friday morning, and I had hoped to have responses by end of day Friday in order to catch the local media cycle for this week. Ultimately I was told, politely, that CISSSO needs more time to gather up some of the info I require. Once I have some concrete responses, I will put together a doozy of an article. Stay tuned.
****Update: found a story featuring some CISSSO comments on parking maintenance costs here.


Ten-year-old Max, praying for an "adopted soul" on All Souls Day.
Worrying that I wasn't working hard enough to shape my kids' souls left me exhausted and discouraged . . . until God showed me that he's got my back.
Well, I am still a worrier. And twenty years later, even more so now that I have kids, just like my mom predicted!
I worry about their well-being, I worry about their friendships. I worry about pushing them too hard. I worry that I've spoiled them, I worry that I haven't loved them enough.
But more than anything, I worry about their souls.
Every time a prayer is answered I try to remember to point out the obvious: "Hey! Jesus answered your prayer!" as though it's a surprise to all of us.
I watch suspiciously out of the corner of my eye as we say grace for children who are "swatting flies" instead of making the Sign of the Cross respectfully. If they don't do it respectfully, I make them do it again.
I ask them if they remembered "the Loneliest Man in the world" by saying a prayer to Him throughout the day. More often than not, they tell me they forgot. Well, at least they are honest.
My worry drove me to work really, really hard to form my kids' souls. But as I fell into bed each night, thinking over the day's events, I would find myself exhausted and discouraged. So little improvement seemed to come from all my efforts! But instead of taking it to God, I figured I would just have to work harder.
But instead of taking it to God, I figured I would just have to work harder.
On and on this went, day after day.
But then I read a book called Trusting God with St. Therese by Colleen Rossini. It was in this book that I began to discover the source of my lifetime battle with anxiety, the worry I have over everything and especially the worry over my children. I discovered that it was not that I wasn't working hard enough on my children's souls, it was that I didn't trust God enough to take care of them for me.
God never asked for me to worry. He never asked me to stress. He didn't ask or even want me to become discouraged and exhausted, to cry over something that I have no control over. I had promised to bring my children up to the faith "to the best of my ability," and that is all.
God never asked for me to worry.
As a parent, this is hard for me to accept. It means that I have to let go of my worries. Even worse, it means that I have to let go of my kids. It means that I must take the lower place, the humbler place, the "sidelines of the court" while I allow God to take over the game. However, being "benched" means that I finally get to have some rest while I watch God take over the work that I thought was mine.
Subdued and humbled, I took my seat back on the sidelines, back on the "bench." God had made it clear. Sometimes when it seems like my children are sleeping, it is then that God is speaking to their souls.
I am not going to say that I no longer worry. This is a lifelong habit that will have to be overcome with the practice of trust in God. But at night, I no longer pray and cry for my children's souls. Now I just hand them over to God.
I still take the promises I've made at my children's baptism very seriously. I believe that I will be held accountable for their souls if I am lax or lazy in their spiritual upbringing. However, I am reminded that it is my job only to guide them and nourish them with both spiritual love and knowledge of our God. It is not my job to judge their souls.
It is not my job to judge their souls. I have found freedom in these words.
Only God can judge. Only He knows what work is being accomplished every day in their souls. And if I am working every day to point my children toward God, how can I assume that God is doing any less? How could I ever think that I had to do it all?
Stepping back, taking a seat at the sidelines, "decreasing while He increases," has given me the respite that I have been needing. Letting go and trusting, and watching what God teaches my children "while they are sleeping," shocks me into silent awe. I am more relaxed, I am getting more sleep, and I find joy in saying, "I give You my children," as I let go of the stress and tension I feel in my worries. I am teaching my children to trust as I learn also to trust. I am becoming a better parent for it.
Best of all, I do not have to do a thing but just stand back and watch what God can do.
Becky Arganbright is a mother of five children and the author of the forthcoming children's book The Little Flower: A Parable of St. Therese of Lisieux.
Becky, thanks for mentioning my book, Trusting God with St. Therese. I appreciate it! More than that, I'm so glad it has helped you, just as St. Therese has helpd me. Eagerly awaiting your book.
Wonderful article, it really rings so true for a this mama who struggles with worry. Just as an aside, the author of the terrific book mentioned, "Trusting God with St Therese," is actually written by Connie Rossini, not Colleen. 😉 I highly recommend Connie's book!

Q: Visual Studio Code Metrics and the Maintainability index of switch case As a person who loves to follow the best practices,
If i run code metrics (right click on project name in solution explorer and select "Calculate Code Metrics" - Visual Studio 2010) on:
    public static string GetFormFactor(int number)
    {
        string formFactor = string.Empty;
        switch (number)
        {
            case 1:
                formFactor = "Other";
                break;

            case 2:
                formFactor = "SIP";
                break;

            case 3:
                formFactor = "DIP";
                break;

            case 4:
                formFactor = "ZIP";
                break;

            case 5:
                formFactor = "SOJ";
                break;
        }

        return formFactor;
    }

It Gives me a Maintainability index of 61
(of course this is insignificant if you have only this, but if you use an utility like class whos philosophy is doing stuff like that, your utility class will have the maintainability index much worst..)
Whats the solution for this?

A: The maintainability index could be higher because of the lack of expandability in the method you are choosing for your solution.
The correct solution (Mark Simpson touched on above) is the one that can be expanded to use a new form factor without the code being rebuilt - switch / case statements in code are always a sign that OO design has been forgotten and should always be seen as a bad code smell.
Personally, I would implement...
interface IFormFactor
{
    // some methods
}

class SipFormFactor : IFormFactor...

class DipFormFactor : IFormFactor...

Etc.

...and have the methods on the interface provide the desired functionality - you can think of it [I guess] as being similar in to GoF Command Pattern.
This way your higher level methods can just be...
MyMethod(IFormFactor factor)
{
    // some logic...

    factor.DoSomething();

    // some more logic...
}

...and you can come along at a later date and introduce a new form factor without having to change this code as you would with the hard-coded switch clause.  You will also find this approach also lends itself easily to TDD (you should end up with this if you are doing TDD properly) as it is easy for mocking.

A: I'd do it this way and forget the Maintainability index:
public static string GetFormFactor(int number)
{
    switch (number)
    {
        case 1: return "Other";
        case 2: return "SIP";
        case 3: return "DIP";
        case 4: return "ZIP";
        case 5: return "SOJ";
    }

    return number.ToString();
}

IMHO easy to read and easy to change.

A: I know this answer is very late, but I was interested that no one put up the dictionary solution yet. I've found that when dealing with huge switch statements that are data-oriented like this, it's often more readable to collapse the switch-case into a dictionary.
public static readonly IDictionary<int, string> Factors = new Dictionary<int, string> {
   { 1, "Other" },
   { 2, "SIP" },
   { 3, "DIP" },
   { 4, "ZIP" },
   { 5, "SOJ" }
};

public static string GetFormFactor2(int number)
{
   string formFactor = string.Empty;
   if (Factors.ContainsKey(number)) formFactor = Factors[number];
   return formFactor;
}

This gives you a Maintainability index of 74 - slightly lower than the array solution because of class coupling to a dictionary, but I feel it's more general because it works for any number of types you would normally switch on. Like the array solution, it scales very well and removes a lot of repetitive code.
Generally speaking, using a data-driven approach can help your code to be clearer, because it separates the important pieces (in this case, a condition and a result) from the cruft (in this case, the switch-case).

A: First of all: 61 is considered to be maintainable code. For the Maintainability Index, 100 is very easy to maintain code, while 0 is hard to maintain.

*

*0-9 = hard to maintain

*10-19 = moderate to maintain

*20-100 = good to maintain

The Maintainability Index is based on three code metrics: Namely the Halstead Volumen, the Cyclomatic Complexity and Lines of Code and based on the following formula:

MAX(0,(171 - 5.2 * ln(Halstead
Volume) - 0.23 * (Cyclomatic
Complexity) - 16.2 * ln(Lines of
Code))*100 / 171)

In fact, in your example the root cause for the low value of the Maintainability Index is the Cyclomatic Complexity. This metric is calculated based on the various execution paths in the code. Unfortunately, the metric does not necessarily align with "human readability" of code.
Examples as your code result in very low index values (remember, lower means harder to maintain) but in fact they are very easy to read. This is common when using Cyclomatic Complexity to evaluate code.
Imagine code that has a switch-block for days (Mon-Sun) plus a switch-block for Months (Jan-Dec). This code will be very readable and maintainable but will result in a enormous Cyclomatic Complexity and thus in a very low Maintainability Index in Visual Studio 2010.
This is a well known fact about the metric and should be considered if code is judged based on the figures. Rather than looking at the absolute number, the figures should be monitored over time to understand as an indicator for the change of the code. E.g. if the Maintainability Index was always at 100 and suddenly went down to 10 you should inspect the change that caused this.

A: Two things spring to mind:
Use an enum to marry up the description and value
public enum FormFactor
{
    Other = 1,
    SIP = 2,
    etc.
}

Use a class or struct to represent each form factor
public class FormFactor
{
    public int Index { get; private set; }
    public string Description { get; private set; }

    public FormFactor(int index, string description)
    {
        // do validation and assign properties
    }
}

A: I don't know how much it matters, but the following gets a 76:
private static string[] _formFactors = new[] { null, "Other","SIP","DIP", "ZIP", "SOJ"};
public static string GetFormFactor2(int number)
{
    if (number < 1 || number > _formFactors.Length)
    {
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("number");
    }

    return _formFactors[number];
}

A: Clearly for me the Enum method is the most maintainable as it doesn't involve hard-coded strings thus no typo problem and compile-time syntax check.
Only restrictions are naming rules.

Features & Technology > Case Studies > JELD-WEN® Windows Help Bring 7th Ward Community Center Back to Life in New Orleans
Storm damage and flood waters from Hurricane Katrina forced the Corpus Christi School to close its doors in 2005. The 7th Ward landmark and community cornerstone, once bustling with hundreds of school children, sat dormant for more than a decade.
Determined to restore the facility to its rightful place as an anchor for the community, Rev. John Harfmann and the congregation of Corpus Christi-Epiphany Catholic Church set forth to revitalize the damaged building. Their goal manifested in the 7th Ward Community Center. The center will serve as a cornerstone of the community, offering meeting spaces for youth, adult, and senior programming, a computer lab, education and wellness services, and a gym/auditorium.
JELD-WEN was selected to provide windows for the endeavor, knowing this facility would need windows that not only match the classic aesthetic of the historic building, but were also durable enough to stand strong against the humid summers, driving rain and pounding winds that can hammer New Orleans every year.
Architectural Solution
Offering an unmatched combination of design customization and durability, JELD-WEN® Custom clad-windows were a perfect match for the needs of the 7th Ward Community Center. The new windows also needed to replicate the existing materials as closely as possible so a new exterior trim extrusion was fabricated to match.
The project features JELD-WEN® Custom clad-wood windows manufactured with AuraLast® which is vacuum-pressure treated to help protect solid pine wood all the way through to the core and backed by a lifetime limited warranty. With this added layer of protection against wood rot, termites and water saturation, the windows will help protect against the significant humidity and frequent rain showers that regularly occur in Louisiana.
It was also crucial to safeguard the building from windborne hazards that can come with the annual hurricane season. The JELD-WEN® Custom clad-wood windows include ImpactGard® protection which helps prevent damage from windborne debris and helps keep the building envelope intact during storms. Even if the glass cracks under impact, the fragments will adhere to an interlayer, minimizing the danger of falling or flying glass.
Finally, the 7th Ward Community Center needed windows that fit the historic look and feel of the 100-year-old building. The building featured a variety of architectural challenges. For example, the brick exterior of the building was hand-built by members of the community, which meant that many window openings were a unique size and shape. As a result, all windows needed to be custom-measured and -fitted to their distinct opening.
Handcrafted for unique designs, JELD-WEN® Custom clad-wood windows are available in a wide variety of wood, interior finishes, exterior cladding and paint colors.
"The 7th Ward Community Center is one of many projects that represent the perseverance and dedication of the Corpus Christi Epiphany Church Parish to the recovery of not only the 7th Ward, but the greater New Orleans area. It provides hope, stability and safety for all of our neighbors," said Todd C. James, a Principal of Mathes Brierre Architects and a member of Corpus Christi Epiphany Church. "We love the fact that these JELD-WEN windows are not only built to last, they contribute greatly to the historic style of this landmark building. This is a place our community can be proud of for years to come."
The original 41 windows and a patio door were replaced with JELD-WEN Custom Wood Epic windows specially made to fit into the existing frames. The new windows are made with Low-E glass, environmentally friendly AuraLast Wood with a 20-year warranty against wood rot, water saturation and termite damage, and oil-rubbed bronze hardware to enhance classic styling. The result: seamlessly integrated design and reduced labor and material costs by saving existing frames and exterior trim.

DVD Review: Hell
By Freddy Mayhew
Hell, produced by Roland Emmerich (2012, Day After Tomorrow) and directed and co-written by Tim Fehlbaum, is a vision of a post-apocalyptic future that narrows its eyes against the harsh light of the sun.
It should be quickly said that Hell is a German language film, with English subtitles, and that its frightening moniker is not actually an analogy with the sweltering climate of the underworld but rather the German for bright – although either is applicable to the events that unfold.
Once nourishing to life on Earth, our yellow orb has become its greatest enemy, raising the temperature on the planet's surface by ten degrees and pushing life to the limits of survival.
Those lucky enough to still be alive face an arid, inhospitable environment where water is so scarce it has become a tradable commodity and prolonged exposure to the sun will scorch skin.
Exactly how and why these conditions have arisen, however, is left to the viewer's imagination and on a small budget it seems the filmmaker is loath to trouble himself with the details.
The films central characters, Marie (Hannah Herzsprung), her younger sister Leonie (Lisa Vicari) and their travelling companion Phillip (Lars Eidinger), are making their way to the mountains where, rumour has it, there is still running water to be found.
When the trio encounter Tom (Stipe Erceg) at a disused petrol station, the film's pace quickens and it's not long before all four of them are facing that favourite of the post-apocalyptic genre – cannibalism – head on.
Overall, Hell's weaknesses in capitalising on its original premise are prevented from irrevocably crippling it by the strength of acting from its central players, with Herzsprung a very capable lead.
It is at its best when these characters interact and the start of the film promises much in this department before failing to really deliver.
Rather than a character-driven survival horror akin to The Walking Dead, Hell turns more towards the simplicity of hill-billy horror and a little more gore and perilous tension might have prompted stronger comparisons with other films of the genre.
Despite a small budget, the film's effects are solid, if at times inconsistent – particularly as the camera filter used to portray blinding sunlight is a device that seems to come and go.
On the whole Hell is a polished production, but one that fumbles in the delivery of an original concept.
Despite its shortcomings, there's still enough originality to make Hell a satisfying companion to a night-in with a bag of popcorn, but afterwards you might be left wondering why you didn't choose to watch The Road instead.

Wohooo finally!! I made a partner for the Coxa Bikini Top. Actually I made the pattern last year but I hesitated whether I should share the pattern or not because I was so frustrated with the edging. It doesn't look good and I kept changing the pattern. So I left the project for a while and continue to make another project 😅.
Then I resumed to make this bottom, filmed the tutorial, started to edit the video and guess what happened? I lost some of the clips, I don't even remember whether I accidentally deleted or I did not filmed it at all. So I abandoned this project again because, one I can't get the edging right, two I don't have that one short but crucial part of the video, and three I still don't like the edging.
Days gone by and I saw this bottom lying lifeless, cannot come to life with his partner and my heart just can't take it anymore😳 So I picked him up, redo the missing part of the video, rewrite the pattern and now I am so happy at last he can be with his partner Coxa Bikini Top!...okay forgive me for talking nonsense I'm just happy for him haha.. So for those who have been asking where he is? He is here!!!!
Anyway I hope you get the idea how to make a bikini bottom from the tutorial and if you don't like the edging just like me, try to create your own pattern but if you like it thank you so much.
And I made a table for the sizes so it will be easier for you to refer instead of including all the sizes in the written pattern. What do you think?
You can use any type of yarn you prefer. Approximately (50,50,60,60)g.
Wrong side (WS), right side (RS), stitches (sts), space (sp), next (nxt), round (rnd).
Instructions are for size XS/S.
Follow the same exact pattern and refer to the table how many rows you need for other sizes.
Make a slip knot and ch 47.
Dc in 5th ch from hook, dc across until 2 sts left, skip nxt st, dc in last st. Turn.
Ch 3, skip nxt st, dc in each st across until 2 sts left, skip nxt st, dc in last st. Turn.
Ch 3, dc in each sts across. Turn.
Ch 4, dc in first st, dc in each sts across until 1 sts left, (dc, ch 1, dc) in last st. Turn.
Ch 4, dc in nxt ch-1-sp, dc in each sts across, dc under the first ch 4, ch 1, dc in 3rd ch of first ch 4. Turn.

As the international business climate becomes more competitive and volatile, corporate executives and standards developers should take note that approximately 80% of global merchandise trade is affected by standards and regulations that embody standards. For a thorough examination of the interrelationship of this global issue, please mark October 15th and 16th on your calendars and reserve your participation in the ANSI 2002 Annual Conference, "Breaking Down Borders: Business, Standards and Trade."
One of many ANSI-sponsored events during World Standards Week, October 14-18, 2002, the Annual Conference will explore key issues affecting global commerce and trade within the context of standards and conformity assessment activities. An international panel of experts from academia, government, business/industry, standards-setting and conformity assessment organizations will elucidate the complex role that each sector plays in facilitating global trade and harmonizing international standards, regulations and positions.
ANSI president and chief executive officer, Dr. Mark Hurwitz, CAE, will open the conference. He commented, "ANSI is proud to present this year's Annual Conference, which will focus on international issues with far-reaching implications for decision makers in corporate, standards, conformity assessment and government sectors. This year's theme was selected to be relevant to the interests of our diverse membership concerning three interrelated issues that affect the world economy and the regulation of global trade."
The two-day event will feature keynote presentations from two federal government officials: William H. Lash III, assistant secretary of Commerce for Market Access and Compliance, and James L. Connaughton, chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. To facilitate topical discussion in areas of general and specific interest, the conference will feature two panel discussions and several concurrent breakout sessions.
During the first panel discussion, senior executives from multi-national companies will explain how their firms tackle a broad range of complex global standards and conformity assessment issues and use this knowledge to increase competitive advantage in the international marketplace. The second panel discussion will give participants the global perspective on harmonizing international standards, regulations and positions from standards experts of government agencies in strategic trade regions such as Asia, Europe, Central America and Africa.
The breakout sessions have been separated into diverse categories and will showcase national and international representatives from private- and public-sector organizations. Topics of discussion will include conformity assessment, government/industry partnerships, standards integration into business, cross-border certification and outreach to academia.
The conference agenda, including topic descriptions and speakers, has been posted to the events section of ANSI Online, the Institute's home page on the World Wide Web. Like last year, the Marriott @ Metro Center in Washington, DC has been selected as the venue for conference as well as to the Annual Conference Reception and Annual Awards Banquet and Ceremony, which will be held Tuesday evening, October 15th. Please see the Daily Schedule of Events for a complete listing of all ANSI-sponsored activities that will be held during World Standards Week 2002. Further details concerning pricing and sponsorships will be forthcoming in the near future.

Approved: formation of new first floor archway flat in Richmond, London
17 June 2021 17 June 2021 Matt Annen	Anders Roberts Cheer, Company News, London Borough of Richmond on Thames, Portfolio_residential, Residential
London Borough of Richmond: Matt Annen is delighted to announce that he has recently secured full planning permission for the creation of a new first floor "flying" flat above a driveway to a backland mixed use residential and commercial development (8 residential units and B1 office space) currently under construction in 'the big smoke'. This scheme was designed by local architects; Anders Roberts Cheer for clients; Woodcroft Developments.
The scheme was carefully designed to continue the existing terrace either side and reflect the historic arrangement on this site and similar 'archway flats' have been approved in the locality (see photo below). The appointed planning officer therefore concluded that the scheme would have a harmonious impact upon the streetscene.
The client was understandably thrilled with the decision and is now preparing to construct this unit alongside the development at the rear. If you have received a planning consent and would like to know whether there is any opportunity to maximise the potential further, then contact one of the team on 01202 585524 or email info@puretownplanning.co.uk for a FREE 30 minute consultation.
Approved: four houses in Three Legged Cross, Wimborne
Approved: eight detached houses in Titchfield, Fareham


Every Monday we bring you a list of job fairs and events happening throughout the week in New York City. Not from around here? Take it up with HR. Better yet, just nap on it until Wednesday. For you Big Apple-area residents, bask in the warming glow of opportunity.
Location: Public House, 140 E. 41st St.
Location: St. Joseph's College, Tuohy Hall, 245 Clinton Ave.
Location: The New York Public Library, Science, Industry and Business Library, room 018, 188 Madison Ave.
Location: Monroe College Annex Building, 2426 Jerome Ave.
It's Monday. Time to get back in the groove.


As the post suggests i want to apply for RH, for undergraduate politics, and as it stands i'm a little worried about how my overall grade profile will look.
GCSEs: A*A*A*AAABBBC - so the C sticks out like a sore thumb lol..
I only do 3 AS levels.. history, politics and English lit . In the modules i have done i am sitting on 2 high A grades... but what i do want to know is will the lack of a 4th and my general gcse grades put me at a disadvantage..
brutal honesty needed here, do i have a chance and i'm being alarmist or is my grade profile kind of weak..
History of political thought and intellectual history.
Which university do you suggest next to Qmul, Sussex, Goldsmith and Royal Holloway?
dont worry about your GCSE results at all - they're more than fine and dont really count anyway.
Its best to get 3 decent a levels than stretch yourself and take on another AS, especially given you have a good combination for the course!
hope this puts your mind at rest a bit!
Sounds like you'll be fine to me. They're more concerned as to whether or not you've got a genuine interest in the subject, so make sure that comes across in your personal statement. Talk about what interests you and have a look at the syllabus. First year mainly covers Government, International Relations and Political Philosophy so mention those and you'll be fine!
Will I get rejected if I pick these as uni choices?


Thank you everyone who entered the giveaway. Your comments made me want to jump on a QANTAS plane and see the world (again). I hope all of you get to fulfil your travelling dreams. The winner is.
This month, where else but London, for THE wedding.
Congratulations Diamant. I loved you mentioned the 'Wedding'. Your FQ pack of Gypsy is in the post.
Don't forget you still have a chance to enter the EyeSpy Creations May Giveaway. You can win a selection of beautiful Australian Indigenous Fabrics. Closing Date 31 May 2011.
I had forgotten about this Giveaway so that was a lovely surprise today, thanks to our generous Jane. Quite made my day. I don't suppose there are many of us who didn't watch at least part of the wedding broadcast to look at the beautiful clothes. So the Wedding proved lucky for me. Now to choose a suitable pattern to show off the fabrics.

"The Greatest Story of our Time" - PIK@Gamescom 2020
09/01/2020 - Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, or climate-triggered violent conflicts: Climate Change has enormous narrative potential for game creators. At this year's devcom digital conference 2020, the two-week digital event leading up to the world's biggest video game expo Gamescom, Anders Levermann presented the latest cutting-edge insights of climate impact research to creatives working in the games industry. His goal: to encourage more game developers to incorporate climate matters into their future projects.

In his talk titled "The Greatest Story of our Times", Levermann explained the physics behind climate change and pointed out several recent climate phenomena that could inspire interactive story telling: the tipping of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, increasing heat waves in Europe, extreme snowfall on the US east coast, or droughts in Syria that have contributed to the ongoing conflict in the region – as well as the global economic repercussions simultaneously occurring weather events could generate.
"No matter, if we really meet the challenge and adhere to the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015, or whether we won't do anything at all and face an intensification of weather extremes – climate change will be - and already is - the greatest story of our time," Levermann pointed out in his talk. How game developers will ultimately come up with innovative plots and gameplay mechanics is up to them – but Levermann made a compelling case that climate matters have the potential to engage millions of players around the world.
