At the weekend, Fulham ended their pre-season with an impressive 3-1 victory over Premier League side, Crystal Palace.
While, some may say that 'pre-season results don't matter', there are plenty of positives to take from Saturday's performance. After hearing that a 'virus' was the reason for so many absentees in the squad, Fulham could have been on their way for a disheartening loss with less than a week before the season opener at Newcastle. But, while the options were limited, Slavisa Jokanovic and the squad pulled through to end their pre-season on a high.
Fulham: Joronen; Odoi, Kalas, Madl, Sessegnon; McDonald, Tunnicliffe (Parker 64'); Cairney, Sone Aluko (Stearman 84'), Floyd Ayité; Matt Smith (Christensen 70')
Crystal Palace: Speroni; Ward (Kelly 75'), Dann, Delaney, Souare (Dreher 70'); Mutch (Anderson 62'), Jedinak (Williams 82'), Puncheon (Croll 70'); Townsend (Lee 75'), Bolasie (Wickham 46'), Zaha (Kaikai 78')
With both goalkeepers, Marcus Bettinelli & David Button unavailable for selection, 23 year old, Jesse Joronen made the starting eleven. Some may remember, that Joronen did start our first game in the Championship under Felix Magath against Ipswich Town. But, since then the young Finnish goalkeeper has clearly developed. Throughout the game, Joronen looked assured and confident at collecting crosses and controlling the back four in front of him. Not only that, but he pulled off one of the best saves I've ever seen at the Cottage in the first half, when he saved a point blank header with his head! You can see the save here
After his performance at the weekend, I'm sure there's been some fans calling for him to start against Newcastle but according to the reports after the game, it is rumoured that Joronen will in fact be loaned out for regular football before the window closes. While, Joronen could prove to be a valuable member of the squad in the future, with Marcus Bettinelli and David Button at the club, his pathway to the starting eleven is significantly blocked, so should he impress while out on loan, the flying Finn could force his way into Jokanovic's plans in the future.
Although Joronen may depart, the two centre-backs at the weekend look to be the mainstay in the team next season. Michael Madl and Tomas Kalas continued to give the Fulham faithful reason to be optimistic, after they worked incredibly well together. Throughout the game, Madl and Kalas were both incredibly calm on the ball, and together they dealt with the attacking pace of Yannick Bolasie, Andros Towsend and Wilfried Zaha very well. Should both players stay fit and injury free next season, Fulham will, without a doubt have an exciting season. In fact, they were incredibly unlucky not to end pre-season with a clean sheet. Palace did eventually score, but it was a diagonal ball that caused a mix up between goalkeeper and defender which allowed substitute, Keshi Anderson to knock home. Other than that, most of the Palace's attacks were dealt with efficiently. Joronen helped nullify the threats from corners and crosses, while the defensive pairing of Madl and Kalas worked well to sweep up or narrow the angles created from through balls. With Odoi and Sessegnon along-side them, the back four looked much more composed and solid as a unit.
It was also another impressive performance by the pre-season full-backs, Odoi and Sessegnon. Odoi does look like the full-back that we have missed for a number of years. His tenacity and overall play is a joy to watch. Being able to play on either side of the defence as allowed him to become a very technically gifted player, and he is able to comfortably be a part of counter-attacks and distribute the ball into the midfield. But, most of all, I'm positive that his work-rate and tenacity is something that will make him win the fans over.
Even against the pace of the Palace wingers, Odoi never gave up a loose ball and always tracked back to prevent a cross or put them under pressure and considering the Belgian reportedly cost under £1m, I don't think any of our summer business will be more important. On the other hand, it was another impressive performance for Ryan Sessegnon and while he is only 16 years old, going forward the left-back put in a very mature display. My only criticism of the teenager is that he needs to work on the defensive side of the game a bit more, as he does have a tendency to not to chase back after committing to an attack.
But, he is only 16, and his game will develop immensely over the next few years - and that's why he shouldn't be rushed into the starting eleven for competitive games. Under the right tutoring and management, there is no doubting the potential of Sessegnon and with plenty of reserve team football and the occasional cup game, Ryan could improve to a level that he could fight for a first-team place in the next two years. But, if you watched the youngster during pre-season, you'll realise it's no surprise that some of the best English clubs have been scouting him for the past 12 months.
Kevin McDonald also started for Fulham at the weekend, and the former Wolves man looked very composed in the midfield. While, he may not cover the most amount of ground or be the fastest player in the team, he rarely misplaced a pass and the range of passing he possesses will be a big boost to the team as Jokanovic wants his team to control games by dominating possession. It will be interesting to see how McDonald performs against a high-pressing team, and if he can create the space he needs to orchestrate attacks, but the early signs are all positive.The arrival of the Scot is definitely more than welcomed and I'm sure over the course of the season, he will become stronger and fitter - potentially eradicating the question marks I have placed above him this early on.
In terms of system, Fulham adapted a 4-2-3-1 with Sone Aluko occupying the number ten role behind the forward. Interestingly so, Tom Cairney returned to a wide role being able to cut inside and create something in the final third. What was noticeable was the amount of space Aluko created. On many occasions, the summer signing drifted into a wide position, allowing Cairney to drift into the centre of the pitch, with the system evolving into a 4-3-3 with with Aluko and Ayite supporting Matt Smith in attack. What was pleasing, was the amount of pace both Aluko and Ayite bring to the side. Being able to stretch teams in wide positions and press them in their own half, was one of the reasons behind our first goal.
With the front-men pressing, Crystal Palace were forced into a mistake, which allowed Cairney to feed Aluko before rounding Julian Speroni to open the scoring. With Fulham facing Newcastle on Friday, Fulham's high tempo game will need to be maintained throughout the game, to prevent Newcastle's better players from creating space and building attack after attack. If the team manages to defend from the front as a unit, the pressure on the back four will be reduced and clean sheets should be easier to come by next season.
To conclude, with Aluko being asked to play in a number ten role for the upcoming season, does he arguably take Ross McCormack's role should the Scot stay this summer? With Ross being more of a natural number ten as opposed to a lone forward, does Aluko's future at number 10 signal the end of McCormack. I'm sure we will hear more regarding our talismanic forward's future by the end of the week, with talks ongoing between the two clubs. But, if Ross does a U-turn on his potential departure, it will be very interesting to see how he adjusts to Fulham's new system and style of play.
I would just like to thank you all for your ongoing support of the blog. It was a proud day for myself on Saturday as the first 'Craven Corner' column was published in the match-day programme. Hopefully, throughout the season there will be a few more of these articles appearing in the programmes, but this won't change anything. Just like any articles, I want to hear your feedback - good or bad. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to come this far and have the opportunities that have been presented to me. Thank you - it truly means a lot to me.

A 1998 memo written by Brett Kavanaugh proposed a series of tough, sexually explicit questions for President Bill Clinton to answer about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, shedding new light on the Supreme Court nominee's moralistic outlook and his view of presidential power.
The memo provides a contrast to the genial, soft-spoken nominee who chooses every word carefully as he makes the rounds of the Senate before his Sept. 4 hearing before the Judiciary Committee. It reveals a hardball tactician who argued forcefully that Starr had the right to press the president for answers, a view he later shifted, saying presidents are too busy to be subject to such investigations while in office.
Kavanaugh's views on executive power could be newly relevant if he is confirmed and asked to rule on matters related to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation of President Trump.
In the weeks before Kavanaugh's memo, Clinton attempted to avoid or limit Starr's questioning — just as Trump is trying to do in Mueller's Russia investigation. Kavanaugh wrote at the time that while he was "mindful of the need for respect for the Office of the President," it was the counsel's duty to gather the facts or face being charged with conspiring "to conceal the true nature" of what happened.
Kavanaugh was meeting with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) when the memo was made public. Feinstein is among the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee slated to question Kavanaugh in hearings that are expected to include a focus on his views of executive power.
Kavanaugh, through a spokesman, and the White House declined to comment on the memo.
Robert Bittman, a former Starr deputy who handled much of the Clinton questioning in August 1998, said he remembers Kavanaugh's memo and his regrets about its tone.
"I remember that Brett immediately regretted the tone of the memo, because he had been sleep deprived," Bittman said in an interview.
While Kavanaugh believed that Starr had an obligation to interview and investigate Clinton, his more recent view, as expressed in a 2009 Minnesota Law Review article, has led to questions about what would happen if, as a Supreme Court justice, he were asked to rule on whether Trump must comply with a subpoena from Mueller or whether the president had the right to fire the special counsel.
Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas who has served on professional panels with Kavanaugh, said the memo raises the question of whether Kavanaugh today disagrees with what he wrote.
Excerpts from the memo have been previously reported, including by The Washington Post last month, quoting from the book "The Death of American Virtue" by Ken Gormley. However, the full memo had not been made public until Monday, when it was released by the National Archives in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by The Post.
Starr's deputies were on the verge of interviewing the president, hoping to determine whether he had lied in a civil suit brought by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee who had accused Clinton of sexual harassment. During his lawsuit testimony, Clinton swore that he had not had sexual relations with Lewinsky. Kavanaugh and other Starr deputies were convinced that the president had lied.
Some in Starr's office, however, did not want to ask the president sexually explicit questions out of respect for the office, but Kavanaugh pushed back.
David Kendall, who was Clinton's attorney at the testimony, said that shows Clinton "refused" to go beyond the statement.
After the interview and the investigation concluded, Kavanaugh was assigned to be the prime author of a section of the report that laid out the grounds for impeachment. He did not write the section that explicitly detailed the sexual relationship between Clinton and Lewinsky. The report was sent to the House, which released it without redaction.
Kavanaugh testified during his 2004 confirmation hearing to be a federal appeals judge that he regretted that Congress released the sexually explicit details.
"I personally regret how that report was released because I think it was — parts of it that were released were unnecessary to be in the public domain," Kavanaugh said.
It is not clear whether the Senate Judiciary Committee knew that he had proposed questions for Clinton, but the matter did not come up at the hearing.
Kavanaugh later also regretted the way the Starr investigation subjected Clinton to an investigation during his presidency, particularly after his experience working for five years as associate counsel and staff secretary to President George W. Bush.
In the Minnesota Law Review article, Kavanaugh wrote that presidents should not be distracted by civil lawsuits or criminal investigations while in office. He wrote that presidents are too busy to deal with such "time-consuming and distracting" matters, which he said "would ill serve the public interest, especially in times of financial or national security crisis." He said a truly corrupt president could be impeached or investigated after leaving office.
After serving as Bush's aide, he also modified his views on executive power, believing that a president has privileged authority to withhold certain documents.

[Scrapbook - Tatikian, B.]. Album containing specimens of Turkish calligraphy, documents, watercolours, hand-coloured lithographs, and a dated photograph.
Constantinople, Smyrna and other places, c. 1850.
Folio (370 x 265 mm). Comprising 15 hand-coloured lithographs, 3 prints, 14 costume watercolours, and 16 documents, one calligraphic poem, and a photograph. With a few other unconnected pieces. Original giltstamped cloth titled "Scrapbook".
€ 12,500.00
A remarkable scrapbook evidently compiled in Turkey over a period of time, mainly the 1860s and 1870s. This album includes a number of prints from the well-known period lithographic series produced by the celebrated Smyrna printer Tatikian. The figures are notable for the naturalistic qualities which set them apart from the so many other stylised costume plates: "the drawings seem to be of real people, and are not idealized. Most of the plates depict the costume of the ordinary people of the Ottoman Empire, including a number from the region of Smyrna. [...] Tatikian produced these lithographs as separate items, much as postcards are produced today, and the customer purchased only those which interested him. Thus the contents of different collections vary" (Atabey). The figures here present include Sheikhs, public scribes, Albanian priests, an Armenian water carrier, Greek ladies, etc., mostly living in Smyrna. The photograph, showing a "Kiosk erected in the Sultan's Valley at Baicas for the Empress Eugenie to review the troops", is dated Oct. 1869. Other material in this fascinating and wide-ranging trove includes diplomatic passports, quarantine passes in Ottoman Turkish, lithographs of Sultan Abdul Medjid Khan and Sultan Abdul Aziz, an outstanding leaf of Arabic calligraphy, consisting of an epitaph on Mehmed Chelebi by the poet Sururi (with English interlinear translation), a watercolour of "Mohammet's ascent to Heaven on 'Borak'" (with the Prophet's face veiled), and assorted collected invitations and deeds, many in Hebrew (indeed, the collector of this scrapbook would seem to have moved much within the Jewish community of Smyrna), as well as a few specimens of East Asian art.
Some spotting, extremities rubbed. An uncommon collection.

Interface IOrangeElementExtension

Represents a HTMLElement that has (or will have) a Control attached to it.

These objects are normally created by Orange.Controls.ControlManager while creating and initializing a Control. But if you know, before the fact, that an element will become a Control and need to know when it is finalized, the Orange.Controls.GetOrInitializeOrangeElement method can be used to let you know when everything is ready.

For example:

// Where el is an HTMLElement that is or will be a Orange.Controls.Control of some type
let orangeEl = Orange.Controls.GetOrInitializeOrangeElement(el);

let onInitialized = () => {
    let myControl = el.control as SomeTypeThatInheritsFromControl;
    myControl.myMethod();
    myControll.foo = true;
}
if (orangeEl.isInitialized)
     onInitialized();
else
    orangeEl.addOnInitializedListener(onInitialized);

← The Rifle and How to Use It
''[[The Rifle and How to Use It]]'' is a farce in one act by J. V. Bridgeman (1819-1889)[https://trove.nla.gov.au/people/1002274?c=people]. Also known as '''''[[The British Volunteers]]''''' in South Africa and (possibly, but improbably - see below) as ''[[The Rino, and How to Use It]]'' in Australia. == The original text == First performed in the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, on 20 September 1859, and published in London by Thomas Hailes Lacy in the same year. ==Translations and adaptations== According to ''The Argus'', Melbourne, a play referred to as ''[[The Rino, and How to Use It]]'', featuring the exact same characters, was performed at , at the Pantheon Theatre, Cremorne Gardens, Melbourne on 16 January, 1860. (In this case, the word "Rino" could have been a misreading of "Rifle" in the digitizing process of the original newspaper article used as source here.) In South Africa it was performed under the title '''''[[The British Volunteers]]''''' on occasion. Neither the above were actually ''adaptations'' as far as one can tell. == Performance history in South Africa == 1860: Performed as ''[[The Rifle and How to Use It]]'' in the [[Harrington Street Theatre]], Cape Town, by the [[Sefton Parry]] company on 14 February, under the patronage of the Cape Volunteer Corps. It played as afterpiece to ''[[Grist to the Mill, or The Miser of Verdun]]'' (Planché). 1860: Performed as ''[[The British Volunteers]]'' (no author given) by the [[Amateurs of the Band]] on November 26 in the [[Garrison Theatre]] of Grahamstown or Keiskama Hoek on the Eastern Cape border. The cast consisted of [[W. Dansie]] (Mr Percival Floff), [[J. M'Kechnie]] (Mr Sydney Jubkins), [[T. Brooker]] (Alfred Charles Mutton, a policeman), [[W. Allan]] (Pad), [[M. Rafferty]] (Mrs Percival Floff), [[J. F. Gay]] (Mrs Sydney Jubkins), [[J. Durney]] (Mary). Also performed were ''[[The Review, or The Wags of Windsor]]'' and ''[[The Wandering Minstrel]]'' 1861: Performed again on the Eastern Cape border as ''[[The British Volunteers]]'', by the [[Amateurs of the Band]], and using the same cast, on October 14, along with ''[[Slasher and Crasher]]'' (Morton), ''[[The Irish Tutor]]'' (Butler) and ''[[Bombastes Furioso]]'' (Rhodes). == Sources == Facsimile version of the 1859 Lacy edition, ''Hathitrust Digital Library''[https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100592782] https://trove.nla.gov.au/people/1002274?c=people ''[[North Lincoln Sphinx]]'' Vol 1, No 4.

I believe this is Ransom Rigg's first novel and I suspect it will not be his last. He is a fellow blogger, a film-maker, a travel writer and an essayist and while he doesn't have the finely tuned hand of an assured novelist, he comes close in his debut.
According to Riggs there will be a sequel to Miss Peregrine. (Which I suspected from the ending.) Also I read online that Tim Burton might be looking to make the film - no surprise there - it's a project that's right up his particular alley.
MISS PEREGRINE'S SCHOOL FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN is a book based on a batch of odd, assorted vintage photographs. From the cover photo alone, you suspect immediately that you're in for something unusual and you'd be right.
"All the pictures in this book are authentic, vintage found photographs, and with the exception of a few that have undergone minimal postprocessing, they are unaltered. They were lent from the personal archives of ten collectors, people who have spent years and countless hours hunting through giant bins of unsorted snapshots at flea markets and antique malls and yard sales to find a transcendent few, rescuing images of historical significance and arresting beauty from obscurity..."
To say that most of the photos featured in the book are odd is an understatement. The creepiness quotient you'll have to figure out for yourself. But I did wonder over and over what on earth was really going on in these photos. What the photographer was trying to say. What circumstances led up to a particular photo. Who were these people?
Ransom Rigg's explanation is as good as any.
Jacob Portman is a stressed out Florida teenager with a head full of fanciful stories of a mysterious island in Wales where his grandfather spent his childhood. The stories are those which Jacob's grandfather had always told him and which Jacob, when very young, had always believed.
In Poland, just before the onslaught of WWII, Grandpa Portman's parents had shipped him off to a safer place while they stayed behind and perished in the Holocaust.
The stories his grandfather told Jacob were sketchy, full of the weird doings of children left behind at the orphanage on the island. The stories were not without threat from some mysterious monsters and as Jacob grows older, he tries to understand them as allegories of the dreadful loss his grandfather had experienced at the hands of the Nazis. But after awhile not even that can explain his grandfather's irrational behavior. Apparently, he has become just another delusional old man.
But when a horrible event occurs, changing Jacob's life forever, the result is a boy plagued by insistent nightmares and irrational fears. His hapless parents, fearing for his sanity, bring in a psychiatrist to tend to their troubled son and continue Jacob's schooling at home to reduce the stress factor.
When it appears as if only a visit to Wales and the mysterious island where his grandfather once lived can cure Jacob of his imaginary fears, he and his father set off.
What Jacob finds is a bombed out wreck of an old mansion, a cache of ancient photographs, some very peculiar children (whom logic says should not be there at all) and the impossible truth of what his grandfather had always tried to tell him.
The quirky photos included in the book upstage the story concocted around them, they are creepier than any invented author explanation. But this is still the sort of colorfully told story that will make you think twice about all those old photos you might have stashed in the attic or basement. I know I'm going to take a closer look next time I'm at a flea market.
Book designed by Doogie Horner.

This looks very interesting. WIll have to explore this further! Thank you for sharing.
I liked the idea of building a novel around those found photos. And many of them are extremely strange. Some of them are practically nightmare inducing. But I don't think Riggs is a novelist at all. The book in nothing but incident. There is no real conflict and the ending is ambiguous. For this reason I think it was shifted to a younger audience. It's not at all an adult book, IMO. I was caught up in some of the bizarreness and the quirky characters, but really there is not much at stake. When it was all over I just shrugged and said, "That's it?"
You're welcome, Lucy. It is an interesting read and an intriguing way to tell a story.
John: Well, at stake is the continued existence of the kids, etc. But I think the fact of having to reveal so much information about the orphanage's inhabitants worked against the plotting.
It's not great writing by any means. In fact, parts of it I found a bit boring, but I was still intrigued enough to continue reading.
Yeah, some of those pix were downright scary. Hard to believe they're all real.
I wonder what the next book will bring.
I've wanted to read this book since it came out, but all the hype kinda turned me off of it. Now that I know you liked it, I may have to up my reading of it.
As one who collects 19th century photographs, I can very well equate with this book. There are so many images in my collection for which I have woven imaginary lifetimes!
Too eerie for me, the blog scaredy-cat. Saw those pictures and bolted across the yard and up the tree.
Ryan, it's not a great book, but it's worth a look and it reads very quickly. I liked most of it. But as John says, the ending is a little flat.
I'm assuming that's because there will be a sequel.
Mark, take a look at the book, you might find the photos (at least) intriguing. Also it really is kind of interesting the way Rigg's has woven a story around some of the strangest photos you'll ever see. You really do have to wonder.
It's a particularly well designed book, too.
Kathy, you have to stop bolting up the backyard tree, it makes the neighbors wonder. Ha!
I'm joining Frannie and Agnes, Bob Tarte's cats in Kitty Cornered, another fun, but poignant book. He sure loves those cats, maddening as they can be sometimes.
My husband's late grandmother used to say there was nothing sadder to her than to see stacks of old photographs at a thrift store or flea market. It was for this reason that she asked her kids and grandkids to destroy her old photographs if no one in the family wanted them after she passed away.
I have asked my parents to at least go through the boxes of old photographs they have (some of them handed down to them from older relatives) and jot down on the back the names of the people in the photos and how they're related to us, but after 70-plus years, the connections to some of those far-off faces have long been severed.
That looks kinda haunting and scary. But then I am just a scaredy-cat!
Kathy I'm so glad you've taken to Bob's books. He's on Facebook and you can follow his and Linda's adventures there too. He takes some really good photos.
Deb, that is a great idea to jot down the names and dates while there are people around who can still remember.
I have a box of old photos I think this will be my project for the summer.
I look at old photos in a different way than your grandmother did. I look at them as living pieces of history. For a moment the people in those photos live again even if their names are forgotten. Still, I can understand her viewpoint too. There is a great deal of melancholy attached to old photos of people whose names you don't know.
iluvcinema: It's more creepy than scary. Really. It's an interesting read.

NASA images show Columbia Glacier's rapid retreat
Author: Yereth Rosen
| Arctic
Columbia Glacier, one of Alaska's best-known, most-viewed and fastest-changing glaciers, has retreated so far back that it is now separated into two sections, a transformation captured by satellite imagery.
NASA's Earth Observatory has compiled a time-lapse series of images that shows changes to Columbia Glacier between 1986 and now, a period of rapid retreat.
Since the 1980s, Columbia Glacier has lost about half of its thickness, according to NASA. Between then and now, there were years with particularly rapid shedding of ice chunks, creating a "mélange" of floating icebergs that rafted together, as the NASA time-lapse images show. One of those years was 1989, when the ill-fated Exxon Valdez supertanker diverted course while carrying its load of oil from the Valdez terminal of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline. At the time, the need to avoid floating glacier ice was cited as the reason for the course diversion.
By 2007, melt from Columbia Glacier had already reached 87 percent of the anticipated volume that will contribute to sea-level rise, according to a University of Colorado study published in 2012 in The Cryosphere.
After 2007, the glacier's terminus became detached from the seafloor and was transformed into a floating tongue, changing the pattern of iceberg production, according to a study published in 2010 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Instead of shedding its ice though a steady pattern of low-volume bergs calving off the terminus, the glacier began losing mass in larger chunks falling off in episodes, according to the study.
When will Columbia Glacier's retreat stop? The 2012 University of Colorado study used computer modeling to predict that the terminus will retreat until about 2020, when it reaches a new stable position about 15 miles upstream from the previous spot of stability reached in the 1980s. NASA has cited another estimate of 2030 as the time when the glacier will have retreated so far that it is at the shoreline and no longer able to shed ice into Prince William Sound.

Van der Vaart: Van Dijk winning Ballon d'Or wouldn't make him better than Messi
Rafael van der Vaart says a defender could win the Ballon d'Or but insists Lionel Messi would still be the world's best player.

Virgil van Dijk should not be considered better than Lionel Messi even if he does win the Ballon d'Or, according to former Netherlands star Rafael van der Vaart.
Liverpool star Van Dijk is among the favourites for the world's top individual prizes after an outstanding 2019, helping the Reds to win the Champions League last season in Madrid.
If he was to take home the gong, Van Dijk would be the first defender to win the Ballon d'Or since Italy's World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro in 2006.
But Van der Vaart, Van Dijk's countryman, claims a defender's importance to his team can see them rewarded for an outstanding year even if they do not match up to five-time winner Messi.
Asked if a defender could win the coveted award, Van der Vaart told reporters: "Yeah, of course. Why not?
"You can't compare players. If you choose a defender, it doesn't mean he is better than Messi. You have to see what he wins, how important he is for his own team. We will see what happens."
Great day, 3 points & clean sheet! See you Reds after the international break! #YNWApic.twitter.com/XGpRyuIR2W
— Virgil van Dijk (@VirgilvDijk) August 31, 2019
Netherlands has two of European football's foremost centre-backs, with Matthijs de Ligt having left Ajax for Juventus in the close season.
The 20-year-old endured a tough Bianconeri debut in a 4-3 win over Napoli, but Van der Vaart expects him to prove his worth.
"He could have played somewhere else - Bayern Munich or maybe for Barcelona - and now he's had a difficult start at Juventus," the former Real Madrid midfielder said.
"It's not easy - [Giorgio] Chiellini is injured now, it's going to be difficult for him, but he has so much talent.
"He also played two games for the national team and was by far the best man on the pitch [in the past week]. He's a great talent."
And Van der Vaart is hopeful of a bright future for Netherlands under head coach Ronald Koeman.
He added: "We are lucky that we have so many good talents at the moment, with De Ligt, [Frenkie] De Jong, Van Dijk, some special players.
"[Koeman] is a guy who brought stability to the team. You can see everyone likes to play for Netherlands again and, for a long time, it was not like that."

Last night I had the delightful experience of being on the front row for Peter Reinhart's class on whole grain breads. He is touring with his latest book, Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads: New Techniques, Extraordinary Flavor. He was gracious enough to sign every book presented to him. I brought only two - this one and also American Pie. I felt too guilty to bring my entire stack of his books. Before and after class he chatted with everyone, answering whatever questions they might have.
We watched him make (and sampled!) several recipes, including High Extraction Country Miche, Spent Grain Bread, Whole Wheat Mash Bread, Vollkornbrot, and Four Seed Whole Grain Crackers.
The class voted on our favorite, Spent Grain Bread, which is made from the grains left over from beer making. Apparently breweries are only too happy to give the stuff away (especially, it seems, if you trade the beer maker a loaf of bread in exchange).
I can heartily recommend taking the class if he happens to tour near you. And I can also recommend the book. My first read of it had me checking the front to see if perhaps I'd picked up the instruction manual for flying the space shuttle, but after watching his demos, it all became so clear that all the recipes are totally approachable.
A special bonus of the evening was that he gave each student a knob of whole grain sourdough starter and a baggie full of fresh spent grain. I can't tell you how much pleasure it gives me to know that my starter originated from Reinhart's own hands. Pretty cool. I fed mine last night when I got home, and this morning I found it happily growing. Before long the aroma of fresh baked bread will waft through this house.
Thanks so much for letting us hear about your evening with Peter Reinhart. I went to his blog and found the schedule for California. He will be in NOCAL end of Feb, beginning of March -and I am sure I will be there with Sam the Baker! And perhaps we can convince Georgia to come along!
Love the idea of the spent grain bread. Sam has been using a no knead recipe with beer in it, which he adapts with whole grains and it is QUITE flavorful.
And now I know what to give him for his birthday!
Donna, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Get there early if possible, when he will have more time to sign your book or answer a question or two. He was very generous with his time at our event.
I fed my starter last night, and again tonight, and it is already becoming the Starter that Ate Manhattan (or Texas, actually). I'll be sharing quite a lot of it in the coming days. I'm feeding it with White Whole Wheat flour (King Arthur), and will make my first sourdough loaf in the next few days.
In the meantime, I've started the process on the spent grain bread. It should be ready for baking tomorrow. This one is slated to be used as sandwich bread. Can't wait for workday lunches this week!
msue- Have to completely agree that the book was so much more intimidating before the class. Once he showed what the concept is, it's so easy to make each element and let them wait until you're ready for combining them into the final dough, shaping and baking.

Microsoft and Nokia effectively 'one team' before acquisition
App developers at TechEd appear unfazed by Nokia sale
The acquisition news coincided with the launch of the Nokia Lumia 1020. Credit: Nokia
Adam Bender (Techworld Australia) 05 September, 2013 11:49
App developers at TechEd Australia said they don't believe they will be much affected by the Microsoft acquisition of Nokia's handset business.
Microsoft and Nokia announced the acquisition earlier this week.
From a developer relationship perspective, Microsoft and Nokia have "kind of been the same organization for at least the last 12 months," said Warren Tobin, CEO of Altaine, which has developed a Windows 8 app for Pizza Hut.
Ticketek head of product, Greg Fahy, said: "Our experience with both Nokia and Microsoft has been really great and it's almost been like working with one [company] already."
Project Tripod, a startup developing a photography app for Windows Phone 8, was similarly upbeat in a startup panel yesterday. "For us it can only mean good things," said co-founder Jordan Knight.
Microsoft director of business evangelism, Chris Bright, agreed with the developers. "Effectively, we do work as one team already. I mean, I'm in their office as much as I'm in my office… It's business as usual for us."
Nokia head of developer experience, Nick Abbott, said he's "very excited" about the acquisition. "But it's very early days."
In the meantime, Australians will have new ways to buy cars, pizza and event tickets after the launch of several Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps at TechEd.
Ticketek and Carsales.com.au announced apps for Windows handsets, while Pizza Hut revealed a Windows 8 app. In addition, PageUp People revealed an upgraded app for Windows 8.1 and startup Xpreshon launched an extreme sports video service for Xbox and the mobile and full versions of Windows.
While Windows Phone is still a less popular platform with mobile users than Apple and Android, the businesses said the OS was important to support.
"For us, it's about being where the customers are," said Carsales senior product manager, Ben Austin.
Pizza Hut wants to be "across all mobile devices," said the restaurant chain's marketing director, Brad Richter.
"Like pizzas, everyone's got a different flavour and a different brand that they like to use," he said. "We want to be in front of as many consumers as possible."
Xpreshion brought its extreme sports app to Microsoft because it wanted to be on the Xbox, said the company's co-founder Jason Webb.
"We really saw our demographic largely being on the Xbox side of things, but also having that connected Microsoft experience across the different platforms is a real winner for us."
Pizza Hut and Ticketek said a growing number of their orders are coming from mobile devices.
"Over 50 per cent of pizza searches are done on mobile or tablet devices these days," said Richter. Mobile apps also have a higher conversion rate than using the website on a desktop, he added.
More than 30 per cent of its visitors to the Ticketek website are on mobile devices, said Fahy. For certain events skewing to younger audiences, including Justin Bieber and One Direction, about 45 per cent of ticket sales came from mobile devices, he said.
Adam Bender travelled to the Gold Coast for TechEd as a guest of Microsoft.

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani C-130 aircraft carrying relief goods landed in Iran's Ahwaz city on Wednesday, the foreign office said, to assist victims of floods that have killed at least 70 people and inundated some 1,900 communities.
The flood disaster in Iran, arising from exceptionally heavy rainfall since March 19, has left aid agencies struggling to cope and seen 86,000 people moved to emergency shelters.
The Pakistani foreign office said in a statement a first plane carrying relief goods had landed in Iran and another plane would leave tomorrow, Thursday. Riffat Masood, Islamabad's Ambassador to Tehran, handed over more than 32 tons of relief material, including blankets, tents and medical kits, to Iranian officials on Wednesday.
On Monday, Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi spoke to his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif on the phone and informed him that as a "gesture of goodwill," Pakistani Prime Minister Khan had instructed that two planeloads of relief goods be sent immediately to the cities of Ahwaz and Khorumabad in Iran.
"Relief assistance by Pakistan would aim at meeting some of the urgent needs of the flood-affected population in Iran," the foreign office said in a statement.
On Sunday, Khan had announced plans to offer all necessary humanitarian assistance to Iran.
US sanctions have largely prevented the Iranian Red Crescent from obtaining any foreign financial aid to assist victims of flooding. Iran's state budget is already stretched under US sanctions on energy and banking sectors.
Iran acted on Saturday to evacuate more towns and villages threatened by floods after continued rain in the southwest.


Cumulus Studio has used shipping containers to create a lookout tower and wine-tasting space at a vineyard in Tasmania (+ slideshow).
Cumulus Studio, which has offices in both Tasmania and Melbourne, designed the visitor facilities named Devil's Corner Lookout and Cellar Door for the Brown Brothers winery in Apslawn.
Constricted primarily from timber-clad shipping containers, the two structures provide a semi-sheltered space for wine and food sampling, as well as an observation point overlooking the vines and the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania's eastern coast.
"The project for the wine company Brown Brothers seeks to amplify the experience of this iconic view to create a new tourism experience on the east coast of Tasmania," said the studio, which previously converted an Art Deco pump house into a hotel on Australia's deepest lake.
The structures are located on a grassy hillside beside the rows of grape vines.
The viewpoint, made from projecting and intersecting shipping containers, is set on the crest of the hill. It is designed to allow visitors to hone in views of the landscape's distinguishing features.
An angled box by the entrance point points to views of the sky, while two metal balconies that jut from the timber-clad tower direct the gaze towards the horizon and the bay.
On the lower part of the hill, a series of single-storey blocks clad in wood make up the section of the building known as the Cellar Door.
They are arranged around a semi-sheltered courtyard where visitors can enjoy views of The Hazards a range of granite peaks that loom over the Freycinet Peninsula.
"The Cellar Door and Lookout were designed as a loose collection of timber-clad buildings that, through similar aesthetic and material treatment, form a modern interpretation of traditional farm or rural settlements that gather over time," explained the architects.
Low-cost shipping containers are increasingly making their way into permanent architecture. Recent examples including a house in Northern Ireland by architect and farmer Patrick Bradley made from stacked shipping containers.
The industrial units have also been used by Pedro Barata e Arquitetos Associados to create the "world's biggest periscope" – a 12-metre-tall viewpoint in Brazil – and by Potash Architects for a stairwell at an Israeli port.

Q: How do I programmatically show ShinobiChart Crosshair and Tooltip? I am trying to programatically show the crosshair and tooltip for the last datapoint in a chart after it loads. The below code is what I have so far. The crosshair shows in the right place, but the tooltip shows up way to the left and is too small to fit the text.
int num = [self.activeTrendsResult sChart:self.activeChart numberOfDataPointsForSeriesAtIndex:0];
id<SChartData>data = [self.activeTrendsResult sChart:self.activeChart dataPointAtIndex:num-1 forSeriesAtIndex:0];
double x = [[data sChartXValue] doubleValue];
double y = [[data sChartYValue] doubleValue];
SChartPoint p;
p.x = x;
p.y = y;

[self.activeChart.crosshair moveToFloatingPosition:p onXAxis:self.activeChart.xAxis onYAxis:self.activeChart.yAxis];
[self.activeChart.crosshair.tooltip setResolvedDataPoint:p fromSeries:self.activeChart.series[0] fromChart:self.activeChart];
[self.activeChart.crosshair.tooltip setPosition:self.activeChart.crosshair.trackingPoint onCanvas:self.activeChart.canvas];

Any help would be much appreciated.

A: To do this I used:
[self.chartView.crosshair showAtPoint:point inChart:self.chartView];

Where point from extracted from the Gesture recogniser using:
CGPoint point = [sender locationInView:self.chartView];

After a night of going through the components, replacing paste and testing without some parts no change.
Heat is a killer! Heat causes permanent damage. Prior to trying to mess with the CPU, did you try the battery trick? You have already touched the CPU, so any troubleshooting beyond this may be pointless.
When it was working, was it on a pillow, or a blanket, or bed, or carpet, or was it on a table, or hard surface?
It was on a table and I made sure to raise the back a bit for air flow , is it possible that the heat caused some soder to melt in the CPU or GPU ?
Yes, heat does wicked stuff, and permanent!


My new build of Android-x86 Lollipop 5.1.1 has GAPPS pre-installed. I.e. Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Maps, YouTube and more apps. For example: Facebook, OfficeSuite 8 and Pool Break Lite (3D game). The ISO is called android-x86-5.1.1-lollipop-kernel-4.0.3-exton-GAPPS-556mb-150611.iso. AndEX 150611 is totally error-free. (This Lollipop version was released April 27, 2015). When running AndEX live you will get some error messages during the setup of your wireless connection and logging into your Google account, but nothing serious. For installing new apps you shall always use Google Play Store in AndEX build 150611. Only use Aptoide App Manager (which is also pre-installed) if you can't find the app you are searching for in Google Play Store.
My compiled Android–x86 system (Lollipop 5.1.1) can run live (from CD or a USB stick) or be installed on almost all laptops (and some Desktop computers). For example Acer (Aspire), HP, Samsung, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Thinkpad, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Asus laptops. The Android system is distributed in the form of an ISO file as the rest of my Linux distributions. I.e. you must (as usual) burn the ISO file to a CD if you want to run the system live on your computer or install it to hard drive. Read about how to burn ISO files. Or skip that. Just use ImgBurn. Nothing can go wrong.
Lollipop 5.1.1 is the latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. I call my remaster of it AndEX Lollipop Live CD. It uses "my" special kernel 4.0.3-exton-android-x86 with some extra features. I.e. extra drivers. My Android-x86 KitKat 4.4.4 build from 2015-06-06 will also cost you 9 $. I has two advantages over the Lollipop version: You can run the system in VirtualBox and the system can be used also on older laptops. Read more about the KitKat 4.4.4 version 150606 or DOWNLOAD it instantly.
I wrote an article 150608 about installing 3D games in my KitKat 4.4.4 Build 6. The same games can be installed in AndEX Build 150611. I have also tested Cars: Fast as Lightning and Trials Frontier in AndEX. Those apps ran without problems.
Well, if you like your Android phone and all the apps you have installed on it I'm sure you will also like to run apps from your laptop. Bigger screen and better sound etc. Also: In AndEX version 150611 almost all apps and games can be installed via Google Play Store. Still not convinced? Then read my article about "How useful an Androx-x86 system can be for the average computer user".
You must use a fairly new/modern computer. Android-x86 Lollipop won't run (even start) on older computers. My other Android remaster KitKat 4.4.4 build 150606 will run also on older computers.
Lollipop 5.0.2 is the second latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. I call my remaster of it AndEX Lollipop Live DVD. It uses "my" special kernel 4.0.0-exton-android-x86 with some extra features. I.e. extra drivers and NTFS read/write support. My Android-x86 KitKat 4.4.4 build from 2015-05-04 will also cost you 9 $. It has one advantage over the Lollipop version: You can run the system in VirtualBox. Read more about the KitKat 4.4.4 version 150504 or DOWNLOAD it instantly.
Unfortunately you cannot (normally) run/test the system in VirtualBox. I.e. run it directly from the ISO file and install it to a hard drive created in VirtualBox. That can however be done if you use one of my other Android remaster KitKat 4.4.4 version 150504.
My new build of Android-x86 Lollipop 5.0.2 has GAPPS pre-installed. I.e. Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Google+, Maps, YouTube and more apps. The ISO is called android-x86-5.0.2-lollipop-GAPPS-exton-782mb-150505.iso. I call it The Ultimate Edition because AndEX 150505 is (almost) error-free. I finally managed to install Google Play Services, which is needed for Google Play Store to run. You shall always use Google Play Store in AndEX version 150505. Only use Aptoide App Manager (which is also pre-installed) if you can't find the app you are searching for in Google Play Store.
My compiled Android–x86 system (Lollipop 5.0.2) can run live (from CD or a USB stick) or be installed on almost all laptops (and some Desktop computers). For example Acer (Aspire), HP, Samsung, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Thinkpad, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Ausus laptops. The Android system is distributed in the form of an ISO file as the rest of my Linux distributions. I.e. you must (as usual) burn the ISO file to a CD (DVD) if you want to run the system live on your computer or install it to hard drive. Read about how to burn ISO files. Or skip that. Just use ImgBurn. Nothing can go wrong.
This Ultimate Edition of AndEX replaces version 150426, which also had GAPPS pre-installed.

Even Wealthy Gulf Countries Hit by Falling Oil Prices, Continuing COVID Crisis
September 10, 2020 Finance No comments
AMMAN – Some of the world's richest countries are struggling to make ends meet as energy prices continue to fall. Some analysts think oil production might still be profitable at $40 a barrel, but they say that none of the Arab states, except Qatar, likely could balance their budgets at this level.
It's believed the largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia— reliant on oil for 70% of its budget—needs an oil price of $80 a barrel to balance its books.
Safwan Masri, executive vice president of Columbia University's Global Centers, told an online seminar from Amman that the economies of the Gulf Arab oil exporters have been greatly affected by the pandemic.
"When you look at some of the GCC (Gulf Cooperations Council) countries you find that many are insulated, but they certainly are not immune," Masri said. "Fitch downgraded Oman's credit rating for the second time this year, as just as one example. In Kuwait, you have a $46 billion budget shortfall, and they may have to begin borrowing internationally to pay the public sectors salaries of Kuwaiti employees. Other GCC countries are tapping into foreign currency reserves, potentially undermining (taxes) against the dollar."
While economists point to Kuwait's $550 billion in assets stashed in the country's Future Generations Fund, which is designed to guarantee prosperity after the oil runs out, depleting that resource is controversial. Some Kuwaitis said now is the time to start drawing it down, while others warn that without taking concrete steps to diversify the economy and create jobs, such a safety net could run out in 15 to 20 years.
Other Arab countries, like Jordan, do not have the financial cushion that oil producers can draw on at this time. Masri points out Jordan's first quarter revenues plunged by nearly $1 billion dollars compared to the previous year.
Ziad Fariz, Jordan's Central Bank governor, told the seminar that all of Jordan's sectors have been affected, including its lucrative tourism industry, which suffered a 75% loss.
"This coronavirus came while we were about to move in growth after a very slow period," Fariz said. "We were hoping that growth would resume by 2020. This drama came, this shock which got everybody by surprise. The impact was huge. The assessment is always moving in a negative direction. We were expecting growth of more than 2% this year, now the expectation is that growth will be negative 4.6%.
Fariz says the challenge for Jordan and other countries is how to reduce their debt levels to something sustainable.


The Obama administration has refused to issue weapons to the Ukrainian military, but has agreed to provide training via the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade.
Previously, the U.S. Army has focused on training Ukraine's National Guard, a focus which will now broaden in scope to cover the entirety of the military, The Hill reports. The Senate Armed Services Committee's top Democrat, Sen. Jack Reed, gave the announcement Wednesday, effectively ending conflicting information coming from the Army and State Department.
The State Department said in July that the Army would begin training the rest of the Ukrainian military, but then-Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno clarified in August, saying that there was no definitive decision yet.
But most foreign policy hawks hope that the U.S. will take further steps beyond training. Reed also used the announcement to outline three steps that could be taken to arm the Ukrainians to fight off Russian incursions on the eastern border. Lethal arms, however, seem less necessary, since Reed noted that violence has declined following the establishment of more concerete control over part of eastern Ukraine by Russian-backed separatists.
According to Reed, Moscow is re-prioritizing its resources to information warfare, in an attempt to destabilize the Ukrainian government.
GOP Sen. John McCain, another senator with a close interest in Ukraine, has repeatedly used his post as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee to question incoming military officials as to whether they'll consider providing lethal aid to Ukraine.
Congress passed a resolution in March by 348-48 authorizing the Pentagon to ship lethal weapons to Ukraine, but the White House refused to take action.
While the U.S. is not supplying weapons to Ukrainian forces,pro-Russian separatists have accused Italy and Poland of covertly providing mortars and mines, though Kiev has strenuously denied the charge.

What is applet in java language?
An applet is a Java class that extends the java.applet.Applet class. A main() method is not invoked on an applet, and an applet class will not define main(). Applets are designed to be embedded within an HTML page. When a user views an HTML page that contains an applet, the code for the applet is downloaded to the user's machine.
A JVM is required to view an applet. The JVM can be either a plug-in of the Web browser or a separate runtime environment. The JVM on the user's machine creates an instance of the applet class and invokes various methods during the applet's lifetime. Applets have strict security rules that are enforced by the Web browser. Other classes that the applet needs can be downloaded in a single Java Archive (JAR) file.
Applet is a Java program that can be embedded into a web page. It runs inside the web browser and works at client side.
Applets are used to make the web site more dynamic and entertaining.
All applets are sub-classes of java.applet.Applet Applet (Java Platform SE 7 )class.
Execution of an applet does not begin at main() method.

Midnight Screening: The American Friend
Relative to his New German Cinema compatriots – or sparring partners more appropriately – certifiable humanist Wim Wenders was a late bloomer. His '70s is dotted with highlights, but you won't find an Aguirre or a Petra von Kant hiding among them, even if his Road Trilogy begs to be rediscovered to this day. This is no knock on Wenders; his years-long quest to discover something at the mountaintop of (usually American) cinema necessarily required nurturing and exploration that the more primal impulses of Rainer Werner Fassbinder rejected as vestigial structures of sane society. Plus, by the end of the '70s, Wenders still had the finest modern study of American geography-of-the-mind in his near future, while Fassbinder's cocaine-addled filmmaking was about to overflow into personal disaster. Neither filmmaker was necessarily superior to the other (although crossing their streams would likely prove a recipe for nuclear fallout), but 1977 was still a year of personal journey for Wenders. He hadn't yet reached his destination.
That year's The American Friend nonetheless proves an important foothold for his climb: his first partially English-language production, and a deceptive, spurious one at that. A professed exercise in film noir treachery and American-abroad running-for-cover, The American Friend's path is not so much narratively twisted as thematically and tonally liquid. Taking on Patricia Highsmith's much-adapted Ripley's Game novel as an inkling more than a holy text, the film's opening passages of American expatriate Tom Ripley (Dennis Hopper) goading German art framer Jonathan Zimmerman (Bruno Ganz) into murder evaporate into a curiously empathetic question of America's role in the modern world filtered through a buddy comedy.
Taken as a noir, the venal Ripley could be a Harry Lime stand-in if Wenders' distinctly non-noirish mise-en-scene didn't insist on the character's alienated debasement. While the chiaroscuro and felled urban geometry of Vienna seemed to wrap around Welles' insidious devil charmer expression in The Third Man, Ripley's command over Germany is less stable and requires more grassroots drudgery. What develops is less a thundering expression of repressed German identity squashed under the omnidirectional cultural imperialism of a globalized American world, but instead a dialectical, tenuous mutual dependence between the two men, and the two nations. A friendship develops, initially disingenuous and facile but eventually giving way to pangs of empathy and mutual loneliness; Ripley eventually seems as dependent on Zimmerman as his German prey is on him.
Hopper's unnaturally understated, ruminative performance corroborates the evidence: Ripley isn't the all-seeing eye of Sauron we assume him to be, but a forgotten loner whose insidious game-playing is his only perceived outlet for knowing how to interact with the outside world. The more literal evocation of lonely, post-Monument Valley American spaces in Paris, Texas and the metafictional expression of the passivity of filmmaking and film-watching in Wings of Desire are both prefigured by The American Friend's darkly comedic, latently homoerotic pas de deux of not only manipulator and prey but observer and participant and person and landscape.
That Nicholas Ray and Sam Fuller, American masters of the noir form The American Friend perverts, play characters who lie in desperation in the dank corners of Europe further hints at the film's more contorted relationship with national identity and art. The very directors Wenders admires so, the Americans he sometimes seems to worship, are disheveled expatriates who only find harmony in secluded European identities. In spreading outward, then, America forgoes its innards and curdles them into residual structures, pursuing breadth and domination at the crossroads and destroying, or at least, alienating, some of its natural beauty in the process. Fittingly, Hopper's Ripley, a facsimile of America as well as a fleeting person-in-the-flesh, ends up a mangled mesh-work of vacant longing, misguided ownership, and above all pitiful, pitiable desire at once empathetic and oppressive. Near the end of the film, we wonder if he really has any power at all.
The stinging sensation of allegory is afoot, naturally, but The American Friend functions because of its hypnotic haze of anti-realist color and construction more than its thematic underpinnings. The people, for one, are often icons, but Wenders ushers them through the deliberately elegiac zooms of his camera like they're floating through aimless modern society without a hint of awareness or purpose. Fascinatingly, the style and the surfaces are keenly and diametrically opposed to the noir as that genre is traditionally understood; the expressionist shadows and moral incertitude of the genre is traded for piercing, almost violent daylight and moral disinterest. This isn't a Germany of nocturnal, hidden spaces, but a region where everyone can see you, even under the noxious green and red stew that envelops several scenes like a deluded, pretender noir rather than the real thing.
Arguably, the bait-and-switch is part of the point; The American Friend questions the role of the film noir in modern society after having been lost to decades of degradation. Ripley's behemoth cowboy hat suggests, instead, the intrusion of the blinding light of the Western into the film as American art forms grapple with Germany and attempt to assert dominance over it. Especially in savagely comic sequences such as the darkly brutal train stalking that centers the film, almost bifurcating the script, the combination of inquisitive form and curious content asks us to admit that we aren't in a noir anymore (maybe Wenders stumbled into a critique of American neo-noirs, and implicitly an alert interrogation of the value or place of classical American filmmaking in modern German society).
If so, the earnestness of the budding friendship between Ripley and Zimmerman suggests otherwise, a more genuine harmony of international mediums if not interests. The only truth in the film then is the provisional nature of all truths, then. Ripley and Zimmerman fill many roles and functions and the seeming tone of quiet menace fluctuates from scene to scene, leaving the film something of an unknowable entity with floating, diffuse musings on topics far and wide. The film's attitude toward Ripley, much like Wenders' attitude toward America and American film, is a mess, and a clearer understanding of it all would necessarily sacrifice some of the film's fascinatingly indecipherable quality.
Within this meeting of the sardonic and the casually serious emerges a cinematically literate but not quite truly unique film, formally adventurous without necessarily transcending its genre-riff limits into the realm of the formally challenging or intoxicating. Certainly, Wenders had better films in his back-burner (the finale of his Road trilogy, Kings of the Road, is both more humanistic and more formally radical) and in his mind (as mentioned, his two greatest films were not to come until the '80s, when just about every other major director from the 1970s was operating as an imitation of their former selves). Certainly, it lacks the participatory feel of Paris, Texas or Wings of Desire, films whose sublime imagery and delicate dance of dazzlingly lyrical virtuosity and supple intricacy invite intimacy and debate. In comparison, The American Friend is a somewhat dispassionate, hands-off solution, a work dense with implications for the noir, for human relations, for the modern world, and for international affairs, but not always a film that injects those queries with the life-blood of classic cinema. But, again, that's the purpose of a stepping stone. Finding your footing, before the true strides of a cinematic master emerge. It's no destination, but The American Friend is a worthwhile step, mostly because it is aware how precarious its foothold on its topic really is.
