Chilevisión noticias (más conocido y estilizado como CHV Noticias) es el noticiero principal del canal chileno Chilevisión desde 1996, producido por el departamento de prensa del mismo canal. Según un estudio del Reuters Institute de junio de 2020, CHV Noticias era el noticiero más visto en Chile.

Historia
Chilevisión noticias inicia sus emisiones el 22 de abril de 1996, reemplazando a Mundovisión Central. El informativo solo contaba con cuatro ediciones que se transmitían de lunes a viernes a la 13:30, 21:00 y 23:45 y los sábados y domingos a las 21:30. En sus inicios, Chilevisión Noticias era conducido por los periodistas Alejandro Guillier y Claudia Araneda en la edición central, la comunicadora Jeannette Frazier -reemplazada por Eugenio Salinas en junio de 1996- en la edición de mediodía, y el periodista Rodolfo Baier en la edición de medianoche. Más tarde, el nuevo informativo realizado por el Departamento de Prensa de la entonces filial chilena de Venevisión, en ese entonces a cargo del periodista Nicolás Quesille Sánchez, tendría una edición de medianoche los fines de semana.

En marzo de 1999, el periodista y exsubsecretario General de Gobierno, Rodolfo Baier dejó la conducción del noticiero central para volver al informativo de medianoche y en su reemplazo llegó el también periodista, excandidato presidencial y actual senador por Antofagasta, Alejandro Guillier, quien en paralelo, asumió la dirección del departamento de Prensa de CHV, donde se mantuvo hasta diciembre de 2004.

En enero de 2002, el periodista Eugenio Salinas deja la conducción del informativo de mediodía para hacer el programa de reportajes Edición Impacto y en su reemplazo asume la también periodista Macarena Pizarro, quien venía de Canal 13. Meses más tarde, específicamente el 1 de octubre de ese año, con el cambio de logotipo del canal, el noticiero se renueva incorporando al periodista Fernando Paulsen, en la edición de medianoche que es renombrada como "Chilevisión Noticias Última Mirada".

El 13 de diciembre de 2003, el noticiero se vio involucrado en una polémica, pues fueron acusados de grabar al juez Daniel Calvo cuando estaba en un sauna para homosexuales. Tras este escándalo, el mismo Alejandro Guillier y Claudia Araneda, junto con otros funcionarios del Departamento de Prensa como el editor Patricio Caldichoury Ríos, el periodista Fernando Reyes Amín y el productor Raúl Poblete Barrios, fueron detenidos en el Anexo Cárcel Capuchinos y procesados por violar la ley del artículo 161-A del Código Penal, cuyo inciso primero castiga a quienes, sin autorización del afectado, graben, capten o reproduzcan conversaciones privadas que se hayan registrado en lugares que no sean de libre acceso. Guillier quedó en libertad el 14 de diciembre de 2003 tras cancelar una fianza.

En mayo de 2006 cuando el noticiero cumplió 10 años al aire, se realiza otra renovación, manteniendo a los mismos conductores.

En diciembre de 2008, Guillier deja Chilevisión para regresar a TVN y, en su reemplazo, asumen en enero de 2009 Iván Núñez, quien regresó al canal, y Macarena Pizarro, quien dejó los noticieros matinal y de mediodía. Pese a la renovación, CHV Noticias no ha estado exento de críticas, una de ellas es la exposición excesiva de violencia, abusando de la crónica roja.

A pesar de las críticas, en 2013 logran llegar al primer lugar de audiencia en el horario central (14,3 puntos de índice de audiencia), superando por un estrecho margen a 24 Horas Central de TVN (14,1),

El 22 de agosto de 2016, Patricio Caldichoury fue despedido de su cargo de director de Prensa por su mala gestión realizada, exceso de crónica roja y truculencia. Con este despido, los periodistas Macarena Pizarro e Iván Núñez rechazaron el despido en plena edición central del noticiero. Estos cambios respondían a la reestructuración que Turner (dueños de CHV desde 2010) ejecutaría en el canal. En su lugar asumió el periodista Pablo Badilla Lucio.

El 15 de febrero de 2018 en la edición central se emiten por última vez las gráficas y la clásica cortina musical vigente desde 2006, esto respondería a una anticipada renovación del Departamento de Prensa a escala.

El 16 de febrero de 2018 con el estreno inesperado del nuevo logotipo de CHV al iniciar transmisiones, Primera página estrena nuevos gráficos emanados de CHV Noticias. A las  se produce una nueva renovación en el noticiero incorporando a nuevos periodistas, estrenando nueva cortina musical y paquete gráfico para combinar con el nuevo logotipo y la reestructuración del canal.

A partir del 1 de julio de 2018, CHV Noticias decide trasladar su horario a las  e inicia su horario central a las , aunque desde el lunes 24 de septiembre se retrasa en 30 minutos.

El 11 de marzo de 2019, la edición matinal del noticiero cambia su nombre a Contigo CHV Noticias AM junto con el estreno de nuevos gráficos y el debut de Monserrat Álvarez como conductora junto a Humberto Sichel.

Desde octubre de 2019, los noticieros de CNN Chile y Chilevisión se emiten conjuntamente, compartiendo estudios y rostros. Así, Daniel Matamala llega a asumir la edición central.

Tras la adquisición de Chilevisión por parte de ViacomCBS (hoy Paramount Global), el 9 de marzo de 2022 se lanza una señal de noticias, cuyo nombre es el mismo del noticiero y se emite a través de Pluto TV. Además, los noticieros y algunos programas de la señal abierta se emiten en simultáneo con la plataforma de streaming.

El 31 de marzo de 2022 se emitió el último noticiero en conjunto entre CHV Noticias y CNN Chile, poniendo fin a la alianza informativa tras la venta de Chilevisión a ViacomCBS (hoy Paramount Global).

Q: c# screen capture virtual desktop I've found a way to create virtual desktops with c#.  Now I was wondering if we can take a screenshot of a particular desktop and if so how ?
Thanks in advance
Blizz

A: HAve you tried the CopyFromScreen method in the GFX Object
        Graphics g = new Graphics();
        g.CopyFromScreen(  ....params.... )

A: I haven't tried it but the first thing I'd try is:

*

*create a new thread

*switch the thread to the new desktop by calling SetThreadDesktop

*take a screen shot

*switch thread back

might just work.

Few people change the world by creating a ripple effect in their years on this planet. However, in the 90 years of her life, Louise Hay managed to not only build a business empire from only one thought, a radical new idea that we can overcome any adversity via our thinking, but also created a self-help industry beyond measure. This was "new age" at the time yet she lived it. As a woman who was sexually abused as a five-year-old and then abused for years by a step father and then later a pregnant teenager who gave her baby up for adoption, she was horribly tested. When she learned how to alter her thoughts, even overcoming cervical cancer, she realized that she could help countless others. Let's salute Ms. Hay by integrating her way of life into our own.
Here are 7 of her most famous affirmations and/or beliefs, challenge yourself to read one a day and live that one. Every week start over and begin with the first one again. Note that you can add more to this list as she has hundreds.
1. Every thought we think is creating our future.
2. You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. We always have the power of our minds…Claim and consciously use your power.
3. Begin to recognize prosperity everywhere, and rejoice in it.
4. Look at the problems in your life. Ask yourself, 'What kind of thoughts am I having that create this?
5. You've been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
6. I say "Out" to every negative thought that comes to my mind. No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my own reality and everyone in it.
7. Every time you meditate, every time you do visualization for healing, every time you say something for healing the whole planet, you are connecting with like-minded people all over the planet who are doing the same thing.


"Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered round him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe".
Dust yourself off, start all over again" .
Do you know this song? The words are from a film called Swing Time. I think but am not sure that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers sang it to each other.
In the above passage from Acts Paul gets up and starts all over again. Paul and Barnabas had been hailed as Greek gods in Lystra, a city steeped in superstition. So convinced were the crowds that they decided to offer sacrifices to both of them. The two apostles ran among them and told them not to do this, that they should turn from idolatry to "the Living God" (14:15), but Paul and Barnabas "could scarcely restrain the people from sacrificing to them" (v.18).
Jewish protagonists, "filled with envy" (13:45), opposed all that Paul and Barnabas had been saying, and persuaded those, who had just sought to worship him, to stone Paul. Then they dragged his body outside the city limits and left him for dead.
What would you have done had you been Paul? Sought some time to recover? Find some space to recuperate? Of course, we all need to do such things. Paul, however, encouraged by the believers who gathered around him, rose up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left to preach the gospel elsewhere and later returned to Lystra to strengthen the disciples, telling them that they would have many tribulations as they embrace the Kingdom of God (14:21?22). Paul was speaking from personal experience!
I don't know what trials you are going through because you adhere to the faith. We all face them. The challenge is to be like Paul, to rise when we fall or are kicked down, and then to get on with the gospel work. It's not always easy, but we have examples such as Paul to inspire us along the way.
Great Almighty God, strengthen me when difficult times come, that, like Paul did, I may get up and continue with the gospel work. In Jesus' name.


We're back home from the hospital. Another battery of tests, but nothing that worries them enough to put us into a room or to induce us right away. So we're back home and monitoring things again. There's still a chance we'll be inducing this weekend, but there's also a decent chance that they want to keep Murrow in there until he feels like doing it himself.
Sorry to worry anyone. You can take us back out of your hopes and prayers.

Actor Sterling K. Brown is the Face of 'Survivorship Today' Shedding Light on Life After Cancer
Through Bristol Myers Squibb's 'Survivorship Today,' Brown — a star of the TV series "This Is Us" — has been interviewing cancer survivors about their journeys and the kinds of support they need.
Sterling K. Brown lost his uncle and his father too soon, and he didn't get to say his final goodbyes. But the actor had the sense that he was rewriting those endings when he infused his feelings of loss into a storyline on the NBC television series "This Is Us." His character, Randall Pearson, not only helped his biological father William through a cancer journey, but shepherded the man through his last minutes of life.
"I lost my father at an early age, 45, and my uncle was 61. In each case, I was not present to be able to say goodbye at their homegoing," Brown says. "So, it was a real wonderful opportunity for Randall to have an infusion of Sterling and live through the moment of being able to say goodbye to that loved one, to be there to be able to give them some sense of calm and some sense of peace as they move from one realm of existence to the next. I felt like I got a chance to say goodbye to my uncle and to my dad as I said goodbye to William."
Because Brown's uncle, Sonny, died of cancer, the actor is now paying tribute to him in yet another way: by collaborating with pharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb on a program called "Survivorship Today." The video series offers insights into what it's like to live with cancer and Brown, over the past couple of years, has been narrating the pieces and traveling across the country to conduct interviews with patients.
"The catalyst for me was my uncle, my mom's brother, who passed away in 2004 from (pancreatic) cancer," said Brown, an Emmy- and SAG Award-winning actor who is also known for his roles in the movie "Black Panther" and the TV series "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
"It was quick, and it took a toll on my family as a whole, because it was about six months from the time of his diagnosis until he passed away," Brown continued. "So, the fact that we're talking about long-term survivorship I consider to be a triumph in and of itself. But it does mean that we're still learning about the community of long-term cancer survivors. What does it mean? What do they need in terms from their support groups to thrive in life?"
Brown says he's learned some answers to those questions in meeting with patients with cancer. One is that it takes resiliency to make it through a cancer journey. "I truly do believe that you have to believe you can make it in order to be a long term-survivor," he said. "It starts in your thinking." A second tenet, he said, and one that caregivers should carefully heed, is that "you can't be happy all the time."
"Once someone goes into remission," Brown said, "there is a great deal of gratitude for the fact that they are in that present state, but there is still worry and concern about (the cancer) coming back, and there is a grieving process that you go through for what your body used to be able to do … and a coming to terms with (the fact) that this is your new normal." It's important, he said, to give "your cancer loved one the space to feel all of what they're going through, and not just always (be) pushing them into a place of: "This is awesome. Congratulations. This must be wonderful."
Brown recalled one survivor who emphasized another takeaway: the importance of getting screened for cancer, even if it's unpleasant. Specifically, Bin is determined to encourage Black men to get checked for prostate cancer, for which they face a relatively high risk.
"My friend, Bin, an African American man, was going to local barbershops trying to get men to sign up to get their prostates checked … and realized that he himself had not been practicing what he preached," Brown said. "He went in (for testing) and found out that he had prostate cancer. It's made me more vigilant about making sure that I, as an African American male, do what I need to do to maintain the highest quality of life and make sure that I trumpet that message out to other men of color." He added that "many men can make such a fuss over having a digital exam, where that digital exam could save their life. Whatever temporary amount of discomfort or embarrassment you may feel, if it gives you access to longevity, then we need to get out of our own heads and put that machismo to the side so that we can survive and thrive not just for ourselves, but for our families, as well."
Brown also recalled Donna, who is immunocompromised from multiple myeloma and quit her job as a personal assistant so she could restrict her interactions with others during the COVID-19 pandemic. But she found that "some people weren't as sensitive to that," Brown explained.
"The whole idea of wearing a mask being presented as an infringement on personal freedoms seems sort of odd," he said, "because to me, it's just the ultimate courtesy. Given the fact that we know what we know about the disease, and that you can be an asymptomatic carrier whether or not your own health is being affected, the possibility that you could affect someone else's health to their detriment isn't a position I think anybody wants to put themselves into. (We need) a higher degree of mindfulness of why we wear the mask, who we're looking out for. I think it is our responsibility to be our brother's and sister's keepers in this situation."
In keeping with that philosophy, the pandemic has interrupted in-person interviews for "Survivorship Today" — and Brown misses them.
"It was really, truly lovely, the hugs that we would get and the pictures that we'd take after it was all over," he said. "Those were some of the best parts of the whole interviewing process. I look forward to the time in which we're on the other side of this thing and everyone has access to a healthy vaccine, and I'm able to see them in person once again and give them that hug that I so look forward to."
He's facing the same situation on the set of "This Is Us," where actors get tested for COVID-19 three times a week and remain in a separate "zone," wearing personal protective equipment, when not acting. Only while filming scenes are the actors allowed to physically interact.
"So, for a few minutes on camera, I get a chance to be Beth's husband, and Deja's and Tess's and Annie's dad, and it requires me to give them a kiss on the forehead or a hug," Brown said. "I delightfully embrace the opportunity to make physical contact with another human being in a way that's safe and sanctioned."

Home / Newsroom / Until we're together again, congratulations class of 2020
Until we're together again, congratulations class of 2020
The class of 2020 has dealt with circumstances unlike those faced by any other in the proud history of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University.
The ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic necessitated cancellation of in-person classes and events at CSB/SJU and many other colleges and universities across the nation in mid-March, forcing students to continue their studies online and prematurely cutting short their time on campus.
Students were unable to experience many of the traditions that are hallmarks of a senior spring at both schools. And even their commencement ceremonies –scheduled for this weekend – had to be postponed.
Plans remain to hold in-person commencement on both campuses when health and safety factors again permit such gatherings. But for now, class members will mark their graduation in locations spread out across the nation and world.
But though they may be physically separated, the scheduled student commencement speakers at both CSB and SJU say they and their classmates will never really be apart.
The bonds that connected them the past four years will always join them together.
"It's hard knowing we didn't get the goodbye we should have had," CSB senior Lauren Simonet said. "But perhaps we're the class that never got a goodbye because we weren't supposed to say goodbye. This place is a million hellos, how are yous, catch you laters and see you soons – four years and three summers worth of never saying goodbye because we were always going to come back.
"It seems that this class didn't get a goodbye because there are no goodbyes between us or this place. They say home isn't a place, it's a feeling. Once a Bennie or Johnnie, always a Bennie or Johnnie."
SJU senior Owyn Ferguson said members of this year's graduating class will be able to draw on their shared connections and unique experiences to make the larger world they now enter a better and stronger place.
"Now is the time when we need to accept and embrace the fact that we've been molded into vessels of change," he said. "And the world needs us to channel that creativity, resilience and faith that is within us.
"Though we're all disappointed that we've lost so much of the time that could've been spent together, let us also be grateful for the growth and friendships that we've experienced – a time of our lives that we'll always be able to cherish."
A closer look at the CSB/SJU senior class of 2020:

Ryan Gosling thinks he must be dreaming—that's how happy he is with his girlfriend Eva Mendes and their two daughters. The La La Land actor recently opens up to GQ about his family, and it seems he couldn't be happier.
"Eva's the dream mother, and they're dream babies, and it's like a dream that I'm having right now. I'm dreaming it all," Gosling told the magazine.
The 36-year-old met his current girlfriend Eva Mendes when they co-starred in the 2012 drama, The Place Beyond the Pines. After five years of dating, the two haven't wed (although it was rumored that they did this year), however, they welcomed their first child together, Esmeralda, in 2014. The now-two-year-old became a big sister to Gosling and Mendes' second child Amada in April this year.
The actor said of the importance of parenting, "When you meet your kids you realize that they deserve great parents. And then you have your marching orders and you have to try and become the person that they deserve."
Similarly, his new buddy Ryan Reynolds also recently gushed over his wife, Blake Lively, and two little girls. They both welcomed their second daughters this year. Lots of common ground for the new friends to bro over.

With the winter solstice still in the horizon, art lovers of Hyderabad were treated to a stirring classical dance portrayal of Kalaidasa's mini-epic Ṛtusaṃhāra (Ritusamhara).
This unique dance ballet, conceptualized and directed by Padma Vibhushan Pandit Birju Maharaj, presented the Indian seasons in six classical Indian dance styles. The grīṣma ritu (summer) was portrayed in Bharatanatyam style by Priya Venkataraman, the varṣā ritu (monsoon) in Kathak style by Paramita Maitra, śarat ritu(autumn) in Mohiniattam style by Jayaprabha Menon, hemanta ritu(pre-winter) in Manipuri style by Bimbavathi Devi, śiśira ritu (winter) in Kuchipudi style by Deepika Reddy and vasanta ritu (spring)in Odissi style by Parwati Dutta. The performance was truly a medley of creativity, imbued with charm and beauty unique to each of the classical styles.
The ballet was presented on the occasion of felicitation of Kathak maestro Pandit Birju Maharaj by the Andhra Pradesh State Cultural Council. The chairman of the council RV Ramana Murthy, lauding Panditji's outstanding contributions to Indian classical dance, honored him in the presence of Hyderabad's well known dancers and Padma awardees. Panditji expressed his gratitude for the warmth extended and said that he was particularly joyed to have the Veena, the one that he was longing to have for a while. Speaking on the ballet, he said it was rejoicing to see the best of the country's art and artistes on one stage. Also alluding to the mockery of the dance styles on the television, he urged the classical artistes to unite and put forth a "sangharsh with time".
Later, on popular demand, the maestro took on to the stage and left the audience spellbound with a series of brief recitals.

Whisper to the Waves by Helen Beaumont
Illustrator: Unknown

Spoiler Free Review 😊
Whisper to the Waves by Helen Beaumont is a good contemporary romance that, with a little tweaking, could've been an excellent one.
It was published by RCA Marketing in 1982 in its Sapphire Romance series. These were American reprints of British originals. This one was first published by Hamlyn Paperbacks in 1981.
All I know about the author is that "Helen Beaumont" might be a pseudonym. She wrote romances under at least three other names. And there's more than one author with this name.
Whoever she was, she displays here a keen sense of just what makes a story romantic. And emotional; this one is full of drama. All centered on a heroine I can readily admire and identify with, a woman of deep feelings and a truly romantic disposition. Her story is a moving and memorable read. I would've given it five stars if not for–well, more about that later.
Are shipboard romances real?
Sadie Wyman works as a nurse aboard the ocean liner Konkordia under the ship's physician Dr. Kelvin Moore. They're having an affair, which is against company policy. The rule they break isn't enforced, but they prudently keep their relationship under wraps. Sadie is deeply in love with Kelvin. But what does he feel about her? She's the only viewpoint character, and his heart and mind are hard for her to read. But she sure can tell when his eye roves!
As the ship sails from England en route to a month-long Mediterranean cruise, Sadie encounters, for the first of many times, passengers Grant and Lois Halliday. They're a grown-up brother and sister but products of a dysfunctional family, and it shows. He's a brawny Australian who bullies his nervous, frightened sibling. Grant is as exuberant and outgoing as Lois is depressed and withdrawn.
Sadie feels instant sympathy for the pathetic young woman. And just as quickly, animosity towards her overbearing brother.
Meanwhile, Sadie lands on the blacklist of Kelvin's senior nurse, Teresa Gray. Why? Sadie doesn't know. She can't figure out her resentful colleague, though not for lack of trying.
Then there's passenger Bill "Jeff" Jefferson, an affluent American restaurateur. He's looking for love; his search quickly focuses on Sadie. When Grant isn't berating Lois or needling Sadie, he enjoys himself with a fellow passenger, the gorgeous and glamorous Paula Cummings.
Love on the rocks
Then stuff happens. A lot of stuff! Which I won't divulge; I hate spoilers. Suffice it to say there's plenty of plot. Some of it transpires at the ship's ports of call. The author gives us a vivid sense of these exotic places and working aboard a cruise ship. A real page-turner, this story keeps a reader wondering, "What happens next?"
And herein lies the first of two problems I have with "Whisper to the Waves". The middle and latter sections rely heavily on a series of surprises. Each of the three major male characters is hiding something. Actually, Kelvin hides two things; I've mentioned one, but there's something he won't reveal even to Sadie. In the course of an eventful cruise, these secrets come to light. And boy, do they make life complicated for our heroine!
There's a right way for an author to handle surprises and a wrong way. The former is to work into the storyline in advance with clues, hints, and foreshadowing. These bits at first seem minor, irrelevant, or contradictory. But they prepare the reader for when the author drops a bombshell. Once that happens, the reader gets a pleasurable sense of: "What a surprise! But it all makes sense now."
Here the author properly sets us up for only one major surprise. The rest come out of left field. There's either too little preparation or none at all. A reader might justly react by thinking, "What a contrivance!" Well, this one did.
Loved her, Hated him!
But that's merely a matter of plot mechanics. A far more serious problem with this romance is the hero. It's easy to tell early on who fills this role, namely Grant. And he's perfectly dreadful. An arrogant, self-centered, cynical control freak. No redeeming characteristics. Not my idea of a hero.
What does Sadie see in him? Why would Grant want a woman like her, who can't be bossed around? And who won't settle for less than real love, something she can experience and give but Grant can't?
Big mystery. Well, actually, no mystery at all. Many readers and writers think it's romantic when two incompatible people become a couple.
Obviously, I'm not one of them. So in this respect, Whisper to the Waves flounders. But otherwise, it's smooth sailing!
[RATING-REPORT]
'Shipboard romances are for fun, not for real.'
So she said, but Sadie Wyman, nursing sister on board Konkordia, found it difficult to practice what she preached when the ship's surgeon was so devastatingly attractive. She was falling seriously it love with Dr Kelvin Moore. But then Kelvin himself went down with a perforated appendix, and Sadie was in for some big surprises — not least of which was the identity of the big man with the Australian accent who had antagonized her on sight …

Sapphire Romance
Sapphire Romances
Sapphire Romances was a line of American paperback romances, mostly contemporary, issued by RCA Direct Marketing in 1982. I'm pretty sure they were available only through mail order; there's no price on the covers. The books were reprints of British originals and The Hamlyn Publishing Group often appears on the copyright page. The venture lasted only a little while, but produced some remarkable reading.
Out of the Shadows by Stella March was first published in 1967 and has been reprinted several times. This Sapphire edition was published in 1982.
Diana Farrington, a young woman living with her family in the English countryside, gets the shock of her life when her parents reveal something they should've told her much earlier: she was adopted. She takes the news poorly, to say the least. Diana falls into what sounds like a fugue state, a temporary mental disorder that makes her lose touch with reality and run away with no destination.
Luckily she ends up spending a night in the barn at the country estate of Alan Weymouth, a wealthy London businessman. He's intrigued by this wanderer. She's lovely, charming, adventuresome. And as mixed-up as he is.
Alan seems enviable on the outside. But he's harboring a secret, a "sword of Damocles" hanging over his head by a hair. Years before, when he was a commercial airplane pilot, a mechanical failure led to an accident that left a bone chip suspended inside his skull. Further head trauma might dislodge it and kill him. It can be surgically removed, but the odds on him surviving the operation are only fifty-fifty. Understandably, Alan decided to do nothing—except take care to avoid further accidents.
He tries to persuade Diana to reconcile with her parents; she refuses. He's more successful in getting her a sales job at his Harrods-like department store in London.
Alan and Diana become close. Inevitably they fall in love. They're clearly made for each other. But their unresolved issues make for complications. Which is as far as I'll go in describing the plot. I hate spoilers!
I love this novel because it does what I think a romance should first and foremost do. It presents the story of a love that deeply moved me. I could feel everything the protags feel. And they feel a lot, from the heights of joy to the pits of despair. Alan, Diana, and their relationship well and truly come alive. I can easily relate to this couple.
If you enjoy a ride on an emotional roller coaster, if you go for romances that depict how love can change everything, and do so more convincingly than in the usual redemption storyline, I heartily recommend Out of the Shadows.
A bit about the author, drawn from her Wikipedia page. Stella March was the pen name of Marjorie Bell Marshall. She wrote twenty-three romance novels published between 1956 and 1986. From 1967 to 1969 she was the Chairman of the Romantic Novelists Association, the British equivalent of the RWA. She died in 2020, at age 104.
You read that right, folks.

Ratan Tata – The man with a nano idea who made it big
Success Stories of Ratan Tata, Former chairman, Tata Group
in Stories
"I don't believe in taking right decisions" – Ratan Tata
A man who never knew what right or wrong was, but believed in making his ideas work, Ratan Tata is an inspiration to generations. Saying that with his success, came the success of Indian economy as well, would not be incorrect.
His professional experience began in 1960 when he joined Tata Steel. Irrespective of the fact that he belonged to the Tata lineage, he joined there as a general worker and learned the nuances of the business.
J. R. D Tata and Ratan Tata
He was appointed as the chairman of the Tata Group in 1991 after J R D Tata resigned from his position. Despite the fact that his appointment made quite a few people unhappy, he proved his worth by bringing in revolutionary ideas for all the brands under the umbrella of Tata Group.
Making it a global brand, major acquisitions including JLR, Tetley, Corus and more happened under his watch. Tata Consultancy Services, one of the biggest companies in India, was built under his vision.
Apart from his efforts, what showcases his out-of-the-box thinking capabilities, was the idea of launching the world's cheapest car, Tata Nano. His vision brought this idea to life and changed the Indian automobile market forever. The success of other cars such as Tata Indica also speak of the quality that the company delivers.
Ratan Tata resigned from his position in 2012 and all his responsibilities were taken over by Cyrus Mistry. He is currently the chairman of Emeritus of Tata Sons, and has been a former member of Prime Minister's Council in Trade and Industry. A director on the board of Alcoa, he has received multiple award and accolades for his exceptional work.
Born to Naval Tata and his first wife Sonoo, Ratan tata was raised by his grandmother after his parents were divorced. He was seven at that time. Tata was schooled in Campion School and Cathedral and John Connon School. He did his B.S. degree in architecture in structural engineering in 1962 from Cornell University, and went to Harvard Business School for an Advanced Management Program in 1975.

The man hangs up. The other men in the changing room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.....He smiles and asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"

In the artfully decorated Rizzoli Bookstore in the Flatiron District, notes of soft jazz filled the air as Korean designer Yuna Yang prepared to showcase her eponymous label's Fall/Winter 2019 collection. The line of guests wrapped around 26th Street, buzzing with anticipation.
Model Chen Xi got things rolling in a sleek gold-painted pantsuit against a silky backdrop of chartreuse and olive. Yuna Yang utilized this sophisticated and earthy color mood throughout the collection with greens, wood browns, soft pinks and hints of maroon.
While the collection initially showcased a wide variety of trench coats, ruffled dresses and patterned trousers, it quickly transitioned to include faux fur, signature skirts and many lacy pieces. Because most of the looks were sleek and featured nature-inspired prints, the faux fur pieces felt out of place.
The second to last look, a varsity-lined, pale blue faux furry hoodie paired with a black lace skirt, stood out as especially dissimilar to the rest of the collection. Although simple in its design and execution, the sporty style and clear artificiality of the fur stood in opposition to the grounded and natural looks that were showcased earlier.
Overall, Yang created looks that drew from the beauty of the natural world, making for a captivating and aesthetically pleasing collection that demonstrated Yang's versatility as an artist and designer.

Two thirds of NZX IPOs also undertook listings on the ASX in 2015, and this number is set to increase this year, said the experts at Chapman Tripp.
According to the firm's latest IPO report, New Zealand Equity Capital Markets: Trends and Insights, this trend is driven by the ASX decision to give NZX Main Board listed issuers access to an "ASX Foreign Exempt" listing.
This exempts New Zealand firms from the majority of ASX Listing Rules, reducing their compliance burden in the process.
Having a dual listing will draw in New Zealand firms because it provides issuers with access to institutional investors that may otherwise be unable to invest in NZX-only listed companies, Rachel Dunne, Partner in Chapman Tripp's Commercial and Corporate Team, told NZ Lawyer.
"This may be particularly relevant for companies that have major shareholders that wish to sell down at some point," she said.
Additionally, more NZ firms may open up IPOs to Australian retail investors under the trans-Tasman mutual recognition (T-TMR) scheme given the strong links between the two countries.
In fact, 75% of all offers of equity securities registered, including listed and non-listed issuers, were Australian T-TMR offers at the time the report was released.
"New Zealand securities lawyers need to be familiar with the T-TMR regime under the FMCA which includes changes from the equivalent regime under the Securities Act," Dunne said.
The increase in trans-Tasman offers will provide greater ability for local investors to access a wider range of investment opportunities, she added.
Now, the New Zealand Disclose register provides a transparent way for people to assess, compare and track offers, including those originating from Australia under the T-TMR regime, she said.

Portuguese president denies link to child abuse scandal
Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio has appeared on television to criticise a newspaper that linked him to a paedophile scandal that has dominated the news in Portugal for the last year.
Sampaio denounced the "irresponsibility" of certain newspapers for reporting "the ill-considered leaks" originating from magistrates investigating the sexual abuse scandal at the Casa Pia children's homes. Casa Pia is one of Portugal's oldest and most respected public institutions and runs 10 homes caring for 4,500 children.
Sampaio continued, "It's a crime that should be punished when the time is right. The head of state cannot legitimately let these offences pass.... They have the most serious consequences for the respect and consideration due the president of the republic."
News reports appearing in the Jornal de Noticias claimed Sampaio and Portugal's European Commissioner Antonio Vitorino were mentioned in anonymous letters sent to the magistrates investigating the Casa Pia scandal. A few days earlier, Portugal's Attorney General José Souto Moura formally charged 10 people, including well-known politicians and celebrities, with organising a paedophile network, sexual abuse and rape of children at Casa Pia. No date for a trial has yet been decided.
The most high-profile person amongst those charged is Paulo Pedroso, the MP and labour and training minister from 1999 to 2001 with responsibility for Casa Pia who is regarded as a future leader of the Socialist Party. The Socialist Party says the scandal is a plot and Pedroso says he is the victim of a smear campaign and, along with the others accused, denies the charges.
Souto Moura also charged Jorge Ritto, a former Portuguese ambassador; Herman José, a comedian and talk show host; the popular TV games show host Carloz Cruz, known as "Mr Television"; Joao Diniz, a high society doctor; and Manuel Abrantes, a former assistant director of Casa Pia.
The charges against these members of Portugal's elite come after a year of investigations, 15,000 pages of evidence and the questioning of 600 witnesses. The case only saw the light of day after persistent campaigning by the abused children and their families led to reports appearing in the newspapers in November 2002.
In October 2003, Carlos Silvino, a former driver at Casa Pia, was charged with 35 counts of sexually abusing four children over a three-year period and last month charged with a further 662 counts of sexual abuse. Silvino is alleged to have organised the paedophile ring for over two decades, with many incidents apparently occurring at Ritto's villa near Lisbon.
The Casa Pia scandal has been described as Portugal's biggest political crisis since the overthrow of the military dictatorship in 1974. Not only have top politicians and celebrities been implicated in the paedophile ring, but the authorities apparently knew about it and covered it up for years. Reports first emerged in the 1980s, but police dropped their investigations and officials destroyed documents. The former secretary of state for families, Teresa Costa Macedo, said she received death threats after she notified the police.
The Diario de Noticias warned that if a paedophile "mafia network ... really exists, it is Portuguese democracy which is danger" and the author Antonio Mega Ferreira mourned, "I can't recall, during the past 25 years of democracy, ever having felt we were going through such a disturbing, frail, demoralising, upsetting time as we are going through now."
Sampaio himself has called the Casa Pia scandal "a national disgrace" and urged the Portuguese people to keep their faith in the justice system, as has Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, saying, "The Portuguese people want justice to be done. So do I.... As prime minister, I have complete confidence in the Portuguese legal system."
Rui Fernandes, who sits on the national secretariat of the Portuguese Communist Party, insisted that "the idea of a crisis of the legal system is excessive."
He accused Durao Barroso's government of finding it "beneficial to develop this idea of crisis in order to justify deep reforms of the justice system," including restrictions on "the independence of the judges or placing the Criminal Investigation Department under the direct control of the government."
There is no doubt that the government has used the scandal to attack the opposition and justify the widespread use of phone tapping (there are nearly 300 pages of transcripts of tapped calls made by Socialist Party leaders, including its leader Ferro Rodrigues), long periods of detention without charge and other repressive measures. A whole debate on "limits on the freedom of the press" has also been opened up, with Durao Barroso saying that as long as journalists "are held to respect the law" the freedom of the press "is crowned and untouchable."
However, the public anger over the scandal and the behaviour of Portugal's ruling class expresses discontent with the political elite and with social conditions for which all the official parties, including the Communist Party, must take responsibility. Portugal is one of the poorest countries in Europe, with the lowest wage rates and high employment, and is threatened further by the lower costs offered by the eastward expansion of the European Union into the former Eastern bloc countries. The use of phone taps, detention and other repressive measures will be vital to defeat any political rebellion against the government.

Induction: Hollywood Backlot Brawl – Brawl and Panties! Brawl and Panties!
36 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 06 March 2014, 21:00
WWF, 1996
In 1996, with Wrestlemania XII just around the corner, Scott Hall declared his intentions to go to WCW after that year's big event. Normally, this would mean a simple change in booking. Instead of Razor Ramon beating Goldust to regain his Intercontinental Title, he would just lose the match, putting over the champion and leaving the company without the title.
This time around, however, WCW represented a real threat to the Federation, so Vince McMahon, the same mature and level-headed businessman who brought the world The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior, decided not to simply job Hall out, but to drop him altogether from the biggest show and biggest payday of the year. It wasn't that bad of a plan, as not only would it serve as a lesson to anyone else who wanted to jump ship to Atlanta (metaphorically; Atlanta has no seaport), but it would diminish Hall's worth to WCW.
Judge for yourself how effective that was.
Once Vince got Scott Hall's notice, he made The Bad Guy take a drug test. It was a long shot, I know, but somehow the plan worked; Hall failed the test, and Vince used it as an excuse to suspend him for six weeks. That meant no Wrestlemania for Razor.
Drugs are totally incompatible with the Razor Ramon character.
Complicating things was that acting President Roddy Piper had already filmed a segment on Monday Night Raw announcing a match between Ramon and Goldust in a special stipulation match. Not a tuxedo match, although I did once create a video package for such a match (but it was just too hot for WWE's 2012 campaign to rid the internet of embarrassing footage).
No, it would have been a special Miami Street Fight to be broadcast "via satellite" during the Wrestlemania telecast. Obviously, this segment never aired, and a replacement was cooked up at the last minute.
Vince needed Goldust in a match, and he also really wanted fans at the Arrowhead Pond to have to watch a match on a video screen, so he quickly put together the Hollywood Backlot Brawl, where Goldust would wrestle Piper himself. Yes, that would hypocritically push a star of the Old Generation into the spotlight while the Federation ripped WCW for doing exactly that, but Vince had already booked Jake Roberts and Ultimate Warrior into matches on the card, so why not?
After Goldust expressed his desire to be a very special guest in Piper's Pit (if you catch my drift), the man in a skirt decided he had had enough of the Bizarre One's homosexual shenanigans, and the Backlot Brawl was on.
Goldust arrived in his gold Cadillac and was greeted by Roddy Piper who, having already wet down the entire lot to make it slippery, wet down the car with a fire hose, too. You know, just in case Goldust had wanted to do some aerial moves off the hood or something.
The actual brawl was pretty decent. Sure, it may have been filmed the day before and featured a whole lot of camera cuts, but for once, that part made sense, since they were supposedly at a film set with lots of cameras…
…instead of, say, an empty backstage area.
And at least the time of day didn't change from shot to shot, like in WCW's "King of the Road" match pitting Barry Darsow against Dusty Rhodes's son, Dustin. Whatever happened to that guy?
Roddy tossed Goldust around the lot, making the biggest mess of anyone's catering in Federation history (until the 123 Kid got hold of Sunny's chicken salad a few weeks later).
Goldust eventually got back into his car, ran Piper over, and fled the scene…
…causing Piper to hop into his white Ford Bronco to chase him down. It's too bad this match didn't take place in 1994, when OJ Simpson had his famous low-speed chase in LA with the same car, but alas, that kind of topical humor has a short shelf life, and besides —
Oh dear. Six months after the OJ verdict, and twenty months after the infamous Bronco chase on the LA freeway, WWF decided that there was still comedy gold to be mined from the Simpson trial (which, you may have noticed, had nothing whatsoever to do with Roddy's or Goldust's gimmick).
And so throughout Wrestlemania, we got these snippets of old news footage presented as if it were Roddy Piper in hot pursuit of Goldust. And the announcers had no idea why this footage looked so familiar!
Finally, both men's cars arrived at the arena, where Goldust escaped in a bone-dry body suit that showed no signs of being hosed down by Piper just an hour and a half before. He must have changed while driving.
Roddy chased Goldy into the ring, where the Intercontinental Champion got the upper hand. And you know what that meant!
Yes, sexual molestation. First, there was this, uh, unusual set-up to a piledriver.
Then, there was the standard mounting and sensual chest rubbing.
And finally, there was this big ol' smooch.
That last one set off Roddy, who went nuts…
…in a manner of speaking. He continued attacking his opponent's testes…
…before moving on to spanking.
Next, he stripped off Goldust's body suit to reveal a bustierre…
…then, for reasons unexplained, kissed Goldust flush on the lips…
…the second-most baffling behavior Hot Rod ever demonstrated at Wrestlemania.
Roddy then pantsed Goldust and dragged him around the ring. Yes, on a night when Marlena, Sunny, and Sable were all in the arena, it was Goldust who ended up in a thong and fishnet stockings. For the record, it took approximately 8 months from his first appearance to transform from "androgynous" to "gay" to "transvestite."
A knee to the groin later…
…and Marlena covered up Goldust, who ran for higher ground (although, after this display, pretty much anything would have been considered, "higher ground").
Roddy became the unofficial winner of the match, which never had a referee — I guess Judge Ito turned down the gig. Still, a victory over the Intercontinental Champion was pretty good for a guy in his forties who had already retired multiple times.
In fact, Piper was so thrilled with beating a champion in an embarrassing non-title match at the company's biggest show of the year that he jumped to WCW to do it again at Starrcade.

Emerson Witner says:
I never thought about how he went from a non-title top match at WrestleMania to a non-title main event at Starrcade in the same year
Another great Induction Art! In fact, they've been running a 5 minute video package on the WWE Network about Dustin Rhodes's career & a big part of said video has Dustin talking about this particular match. I've never heard of the story about the Kid/Sunny incident. Details please.
Scrooge McSuck says:
The Kliq hated Chris Candido and Sunny. Waltman took a shit in her food. It's weird how most wrestling "ribs" involve feces.
I think 6-Pac was trying to see if the old saying was true or not about making chicken salad out of chicken (BLEEEEEP!!!!)
The Scanian Maniac says:
The Kliq hated Sunny?
Although Sunny was not in the Kliq, I always thought the Kliq was in her?
Al Lobama says:
Sunny's nickname in the locker room at that time was "the Kliq Chick" because of her relationship with Shawn Michaels. The hate came after Sunny broke things off with Shawn to go back to Candido. Although to hear other non-Kliq members tell the story (Check out the Cornette/Paul Bearer Shoot, for example), the Poo Poo Platter had more to do with her being a b**** than with retaliation from the Kliq.
As for why wrestlers use feces so often as part of ribs, the act itself does have a small amount of symbolism to it. Just like Luca Brasi sleeping with the fishes, crapping in someone's bags/food/crown is reserved for workers who think their $h!t doesn't stink.
Or to quote Bret Hart from his autobiography. "The mafia sends you a dead fish, but the Kliq $h!ts in your dinner."
CaptainRon says:
"Poo-Poo Platter."
*giggle*
"The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft says:
Excellent work as always, Art! Oof, what a stupid angle this was.
Realist says:
Please stop saying "as always." Art's work is not 'always' excellent, just more often than not.
I think it's always excellent. So there!
Jordan Mishkin says:
More great work. It must be terrible to have Wrestlemania plans in place and then have a talent become unavailable. Glad that never happened again.
The Doctor of Style says:
I caught Goldust's appearance on Conan O'Brien's show to promote the Backlot Brawl. There was an awkward moment when Goldust made some kind of double entendre about his "Backlot." Dead silence, except for a single person in the studio audience, who thought it was hysterical.
NO ONE was laughing at Conan O'Brien in the 90s. NO. ONE.
Preparation Triple H says:
Nice to see Jay Leno in the Wrestlecrap comments section.
Conan's ratings were abysmal back then. He didn't get popular until later.
James S says:
This was long over due. Great induction Art 🙂
Down With OPC says:
Makes me wonder how that Miami Street Fight would have ended.
One of the worst matches in the history of pro wrestling. I'd argue that even the infamous Jackie Gayda match, while no more entertaining, was at least less embarrassing.
Thomas Moffatt says:
Worse than Patterson and Brisco in drag?
*shudder*. Why did you have to make me remember that? WHY?!
Seriously? Yes.
Worse than Nipple H trying to wrestle? Worse than Chavo and Shiteswoggle?
Worse than AJ Lee's godawful title reign?
Ray Lukard says:
I remember this. In one promo ,Goldust had a set of bagpipes and wanted to 'blow those bagpipes" or something like that. I just remember the actual fight being awful.
Big wiggle says:
I remember watching this as a 7 year old and being very disturbed by goldust acting in a homo sexual fashion and wanting piper to kick his ass but then when rowdy piper starting doing the same i thing a bit of me died on this ppv thank god the main event restored faith in wrasslin. I bet if razor was in the this match it would have gone over alot better i dont see scott hall as the man who would be kissing a another man at wretlemania
You think watching this was bad? My cable was experiencing a problem so I had three hours of no picture, but Vince's ridiculous — yet completely audible — commentary.
Now imagine this match culminating in the ring, and everything just described above happening, and all you had to form your mental picture was Vince calling the *action*, while frequently screaming things like "Oh no! Look at that!"
Funny we bought the ppv, and went to the cable company got the box(even back then you had to get a box to hook up to your tv then punch in the station) but it messed up and wouldn't come on, turned out in Memphis and apparently everywhere else they had problems, we got a refund. Now I'm glad I did miss this one. Just think people now demand refunds for their favorite superstar not being in a match or getting screwed in Main Event when people probably should demand it for crappy matches like that
BaltoJim says:
The first pic after the Bronco chase had me trying to remember if Marlena had been working a mermaid gimmick at the time.
TortureRackOfDoom says:
In Dustin's autobiography, he sells this match as one of his best and favorites of his entire career. He also seems to do that for every match he had during the early Goldust days though…
AK says:
I found the match entertaining for what it was. Not quite a slobberknocker, but it almost seemed like the only thing that was actually planned was the finish with everything else in between just letting Piper and Goldust do whatever the heck they felt like.
This is unrelated to the induction but I remember after seeing (and greatly enjoying) the Ultimate Warrior squash Hunter Hearst Helmsley in under 2 minutes, I wondered if the WWF would recreate what happened in Wrestlemania IX.
After witnessing and being disappointed seeing Shawn Michaels beat Bret Hart, I was hoping to see the Warrior come down, have Michaels turn heel again and the end result would be the Warrior squashing Michaels and winning the title thus setting up a future Hart vs. Warrior match.
At the time I was too young and naive to think such an occurrence would actually make Hart look bad since he overcame the Wrestlemania IX fiasco by becoming the champ. Was curious as to what a Hart-Warrior match would have looked like.
In my head at the time, this seemed like what was "best for business".
Mister Forth says:
I felt this match had it's moments, but it fell apart, oddly enough, as they hit the ring.

This match, like the early Goldust character, is a guilty pleasure of mine. I always found Goldust's flirtations to be great psychological warfare.
As for the comment about the bagpipes, it was on RAW, Roddy was calling in, Goldust was on guest commentary. This was when Roddy was "President" of the WWf. Goldust said "Mr. President, when I can I get to blow your bagpipe?"
Also, the time Goldust gave Ahmed Johnson mouth to mouth, that was hilarious.
I have my limits though, I wouldn't want to see a three way match between Goldust, Danshoku Dino and Rico.
