Feetish or Fettish?
I was surprised to recently read in David Crystal's book, The Story of English in 100 Words, that fetish – which I pronounce "feh-tesh" – was once pronounced "feetish." In fact, in the 1920s, Crystal writes, the BBC had that pronunciation in its guide for radio broadcasters.*
It makes sense, of course, when you think about it. Usually when there is a single consonant before a vowel, that vowel is pronounced long. It usually takes two consonants to shorten it. For example:
Holy and holly;
Mater and matter;
Scared and scarred;
Hater and hatter;
Pater and patter;
Diner and dinner;
Coping and copping;
Caning and canning, and so on.
So logically, it should be written as "fettish" or pronounced "feetish." One or the other. But it isn't. And who would ever say "feetish" today? It sounds rather prurient.
English is a wonderfully exceptional language – in that it has so many exceptions to the rules. Fetish-as-fettish is just one of too many to list. Part of the joy of learning and mastering English resides in these exceptions. And part of the frustration.
Locally we have a similar example: Paterson Street. Some folk pronounce that name "Pay-terson" – others "Pah-terson." Which is correct? Both will be found in pronunciation guides. What's right is whatever the locals call it, I suppose. To me, it's logical to make it a long "a" because of the single consonant: Pay-terson. But the city of Paterson, New Jersey makes it short.
So you pronounce it however the natives pronounce it, and the logic of double consonants be damned. After all, how do you pronounce Worcester? That's English for you.

The ethics of politics via Aristotle
Politics, Aristotle wrote in the Nicomachean Ethics, is the "master science of the good." The good of which he wrote is the greater good, the "highest good" that benefits the state, not the personal.
For even if the good is the same for the individual and the state, the good of the state clearly is the greater and more perfect thing to attain and safeguard. the attainment of the good for one man alone is, to be sure, a source of satisfaction; yet to secure it for a nation and for states is nobler and more divine.
But good is hard to define, Aristotle wrote, and full of "irregularity" because, he added, "in many cases good things bring harmful results."
For Aristotle and his fellow philosophers, politics was the science of figuring out what is conducive to life in a polis or city (which in the Greece of his day were city states); it determined how people can live together in communities and cities. It still is, which is why his 2,000-plus year-old work, Politics, is still taught in poli-sci courses.
Politics also has the practical side: the legislative component. And ethics underlies both parts.
Ethics and virtue are interconnected in Aristotle, but it's not entirely the same virtue of which Machiavelli writes (and Aristotle described many more virtues than Plato's four: courage, wisdom, temperance and justice). Aristotle's virtue is a mean between excess and deficiency. It isn't being super good, or unbendingly upright, or sticking to a dogma or theological script.
It's almost like situational ethics (see Nicomachean Ethics, Book I.7). The BBC notes:
Situation ethics teaches that ethical decisions should follow flexible guidelines rather than absolute rules, and be taken on a case by case basis.
As this site notes:
Aristotle says that it is a mean between extremes, but not a mechanically determinable mean: "to feel them at the right times, with reference to the right objects, towards the right people, with the right motive, and in the right way"
For example, the mean between obsequiousness and cantankerousness is friendliness (see here). Angry, vituperative blogs full of accusation and wild allegation would not fit Aristotle's definition of virtuous because they have a deficiency of social conduct, according to the chart.
As this site explains:
The good for human beings, then, must essentially involve the entire proper function of human life as a whole, and this must be an activity of the soul that expresses genuine virtue or excellence.
It also notes:
True happiness can therefore be attained only through the cultivation of the virtues that make a human life complete.
Cultivation: it means virtues have to be consciously worked at, and practiced. They are not innate or hereditary.

The late March breads
A couple more loaves were made this month and a third will be started later this week. Both were made in the oven, not the machine, at 425F for roughly 35 minutes.
Neither rose very high, but both were edible and tasty. Only about a third of the second loaf remains, so I will start a poolish today for baking a new loaf tomorrow.
First up: a sourdough, made from the levain I keep in the fridge. All-sourdough: this time I didn't use any commercial yeast as a helper. It seemed to be rising well in the bowl, so I put the dough in a pan for the oven. That may have deflated it somewhat. The oven spring was minor.
Aside from that, the mix was simply levain, unbleached flour, water, and salt. All basic ingredients. The crust was fair; not tough and a little crunchy.
The result was a nice but small (height-wise) loaf. It had a delicious flavour, similar to a light rye bread; that nice sourdough tang. I really like that taste; a little acidic, a little sour. I just need to work out a taller loaf method.
It also has a similar density to a commercial light rye: not airy like white bread, but comfortingly solid. It was good plain and toasted. Just not very tall for things like sandwiches or beans-on-toast (a weekend lunch favourite here in Casa Chadwick; the kind without the pork, of course).

Getting solid numbers makes sense
I recently was directed to read a statement that I had "…put forward a notice of motion calling on the municipality to spend the money to put a concrete floor in the building, without any kind of business case …"
That is incorrect. The notice simply asked the town to put out a 'request for proposal" (RFP).
If the writer had asked me about my notice of motion (or asked any of the other councillors or senior staff with whom I discussed it), I would have been able to explain that I was simply asking for the town to get a price for the work. The notice and the subsequent motion presented in the agenda did not mention spending any money for the project: just to get a price.
Deciding whether the work will go ahead is another discussion. But recent councils have danced around the issue of the Eddie Bush Memorial Arena for several years, mostly without any firm price quotes for the work on which to base any decision or do any future planning.
The Eddie Bush arena once had a concrete floor, and years ago it hosted warm weather events – even a circus – but that ended when the concrete was removed and replaced with sand. We, as council, have stated we want to make the arena more accommodating and flexible for such uses again. No, the town won't be operating these events – we act merely as service-and-space providers (for a fee, of course).
Yes, we've had some estimates for work done in the arena, but these come from engineers over the past few years, not from contractors. We also received an unsolicited quote late in 2013 that contradicts higher estimates with a lower price. We need the contractors – those few who can actually do such work – to give us something reliable and competitive.
An RFP is the easiest way to get those costs; a simple solution.

Thinking about a new ukulele
I've been thinking seriously of adding another ukulele to the herd. A tenor resonator, or resophonic, like the Kala shown above. That's the re-designed 2014 model.
I've played earlier models, including the 2013 version with the strings attached to a tailpiece (see photo below, left). The 2014 design (shown above) anchors the strings back into the cover plate, which I expect will be a better design; it looks cleaner, too. But I believe the biggest change is that the through-the-plate model has more tension on the biscuit (see below). And I like Kala products, too.
I really like resonator instruments and currently own a Soares resonator tenor guitar. It's lovely; all-metal body, but a heavy beast (20lb or so)
I owned a Republic all-metal reso uke, a few years back, but it was concert scale. Interesting uke, but I didn't keep it. I loved the look, but I don't like concert scale as much as tenor, and I think that concert scale strings don't put enough tension on the biscuit to make the cone work effectively. However, it gave me some ideas about improving reso uke output.
In the physics of guitars and ukuleles, the more tension on the saddle, the greater the energy passed along through the bridge to the sounding surface (top). Thus the greater the tension, the louder the sound and the greater the sustain.
A tenor uke has more string tension than a concert, and because of this it is this is generally louder and richer in tone than a shorter scale uke.

I continue to be profoundly moved by the wisdom of the classical authors. It's often hard to accept that some of them were writing two or more millennia ago: many seem so contemporary they could have been written this century.
Of late – within the past year or so – I've been reading Lucretius, Aristotle, Horace, Cicero, Seneca, Pliny the Elder*… and more recently Marcus Aurelius.
I've had a couple of versions of his Meditations (written ca. 167 CE) kicking around on my bookshelf for decades. I've dipped into it many times before today, but never really read it for more than some pithy, salient, quotable lines. These translations have all been 19th century ones. This week I started reading a more recent Penguin edition (trans. Maxwell Staniforth, 1964) and was duly impressed and delighted at how much crisper and clearer it reads than the somewhat florid, older ones. So much so that I recently ordered an even more modern translation from Amazon (George Hays, Modern Library, 2003) and started on it, too.
In part my hesitation in the past to read more of the classics has been due to the rather dense prose that many of my translations offered – most of them being published originally in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Great in their day, they see archaic and stilted today. The newer, modernized translations make these works much more approachable.
For example, here's the George Long (1862, reprinted in the Harvard Classics series, 1909) translation of the opening of Book XII:
ALL those things at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself. And this means, if thou wilt take no notice of all the past, and trust the future to providence, and direct the present only conformably to piety and justice.
And here is an 18th century translation by Hutcheson and Moor:
All you desire to obtain by so many windings, you may have at once, if you don't envy yourself [so great an happiness.] That is to say, if you quit the thoughts of what is past, and commit what is future to providence; and set yourself to regulate well your present conduct, according to the rules of holiness and justice.
Compare these with the 1964 translation by Maxwell Staniforth (Penguin Books):
All the blessings which you pray to obtain hereafter could be yours today, if you did not deny them to yourself. You have only to be done with the past altogether, commit the future to providence, and simply seek to direct the present hour aright into paths of holiness and justice.
Here's the 2003 Hays' translation:
Everything you're trying tor each – by taking the long way around – you could have right now, this moment. If only you'd stop thwarting your own attempts. if only you'd let go of the past, entrust the future to Providence, and guide the present towards reverence and justice.
I've also tended to shy away from reading too much of Meditations in part because he also deals with divinity and soul – and I tend more towards the moral and ethical, the philosophic rather than spiritual, writers. But reading through his book now, the Hays' translation in particular, I find his spirituality less cloying than I had initially.

After watching the news reporting arctic temperatures, bomb cyclones and record snow falls hitting the East Coast. I felt a sense duty to grab my shovel, ice pick and suitcase full of long john's and winter garb and head back east to join the ranks of my comrades. After about thirty seconds of planning, I realized that I owned a condo back in New Jersey where I paid a pretty hefty maintenance fees to have someone do those kind of things. I took a deep breathe of relief and thought about our first snowfall here in Seattle on Christmas Eve 2017. Waking up to snow on Christmas Day was probably the most exciting part of my holiday. I recall racing up to the roof with my camera like a kid comes flying out of his bedroom towards the Christmas tree. That burst of joy and excitement is an incredible rush. One I wouldn't recommend for someone with any heart problems. So as the deep freeze continues and the snowfall shakes loose the childhood memories of snowball fights and impenetrable snow forts. I wish my friends, family and loved ones back east safety and a chance to relive their childhood memories. June is only six months away.
Having grown up in New York and having spent a good chunk of my life living in New Jersey. I got used to the town criers known to most as the local weather man.


A good laptop sleeve should protect your laptop, drop easily into another bag, and carry some essentials like a phone or a charging cord. A truly great laptop sleeve also has a slip pocket for a tablet, a place for some paperwork, and a removable shoulder strap for a longer haul. Good thing you recognise the difference.


As I noted here, the Arduino 2560 has a couple of problems right out of the box. The bootloader will refuse to load any sketch(program) that has three exclamation points in row in it. Things like Serial.print("hello!!!"); will lock the loader up and it never completes. This is insidious since the three exclamation points can be in data. Even the compiler can create this. So, your sketch just won't load.
After complaining publicly about this a couple of folk stepped up and fixed it so that this problem has been solved. You have to burn a new boot loader, but that's not too hard. The file I used is available here. It's a hex file, so copy, paste and save it as a .hex file using notepad.
However, they didn't address the problem of the watchdog timer. I've been using timer three to work around the problem, but I didn't like that solution much. Timer three is a nice general purpose timer and messing with it can affect PWM operations, so I've been thinking about how to solve it. I got a clue today on the Arduino forum and put together some code that solves this problem for me with a side benefit. I can have watchdog timers that exceed the 8 second limit in the hardware as well.
WDP0 = 0 :timeout period.
ISR(WDT_vect) // Watchdog timer interrupt.
// resetFunc(); // This will call location zero and cause a reboot.
//doggieTickle(); // if you uncomment this line, it will keep resetting the timer.
And yes, I know about the millisecond timer rolling over. That is left as an exercise for the student.
Update Feb 2, 2012: I've gotten comments both here and in email that the routine above isn't truly a watchdog timer. OK, facts are that it is as good a simulation as one can get in software. Sure, the code could get overwritten and fail if one has a bad enough bug, but that's unlikely. When it fires, it goes to location zero which is in ROM and can't be over written which will reload the RAM code and start all over. I've been using it for months now without a problem. Just put it at the beginning of your code and it should be fine. Eventually, someone will correct the bootloader and all will be well.
Update May 30, 2012: The bootloader problems have been solved and there is a new loader that can be put on the board to avoid these problems. I post about the solution here.

Alburnus arborella — вид коропових риб роду верховодка (Alburnus).

Ареал
Вид поширений на півночі Італії, прикордонних районах Швейцарії, в Словенії та Хорватії. Прісноводна риба, що мешкає в озерах і струмках.

Опис
Виростає до 10 см завдовжки, зрідка до 20 см. Забарвлення зеленувате з сріблястими відблисками на боках і спині, біле на череві. Він дуже схожий на верховодку звичайну (Alburnus alburnus), європейський вид, що відсутній в Італії, та на італійського ендеміка Alburnus albidus. Його можна відрізнити від першого за розвиненішим анальним плавцем, більшій кількості розділених променів в анальному плавці (13-16, порівняно з 11-13 у A. alburnus), наявністю черевного кіля, покритого лускою, і ледь помітною темною бічною лінією (повністю відсутню в alburnus), яка стає дуже помітною на зразках, збережених у спирті чи формаліні (збережені зразки з A. alburnus її немає або її просто видно). Він відрізняється від A. albidus головним чином нахиленим ротом, тоді як в останнього він майже горизонтальний.

Харчування
Живиться планктоном і личинками комах. Нереститься на мілині та вздовж берегів.

Загрози та значення
Це численна риба, і вона не вважається зникаючим видом. Його ловлять як спортивні, так і професійні рибалки, особливо в озерах. М'ясо смачне, його можна смажити або консервувати та має значну комерційну цінність.

HAROLD BLOOM AGON PDF
This was both distracting and enhancing. Here was a thinker who prayed as I did — not on his knees, but in a reading chair, at the altar of language and the literary imagination. Since the publication of The Anxiety of Influence in , Bloom has been best known as our paladin of literary agon. Although he began as a celebrant of the Romantic tradition before swerving into an explication of poetic anxiety, Bloom has been, since the publication of The Western Canon in , our leading apostle of serious reading and the splendors of literature. This is his prime worth now, at a time when such advocacy is fiercely needed. The inverse of what our cyber lives have zapped us into.

This was both distracting and enhancing. Here was a thinker who prayed as I did — not on his knees, but in a reading chair, at the altar of language and the literary imagination. Since the publication of The Anxiety of Influence in , Bloom has been best known as our paladin of literary agon. Although he began as a celebrant of the Romantic tradition before swerving into an explication of poetic anxiety, Bloom has been, since the publication of The Western Canon in , our leading apostle of serious reading and the splendors of literature.
This is his prime worth now, at a time when such advocacy is fiercely needed. The inverse of what our cyber lives have zapped us into. Literature mobilizes satire and irony against the autocracy of the quotidian and literal, initiating the arduous task of becoming who we are by supplying a ferocious and farseeing interiority.
Literature cares only about the self-containment of its own wisdom and beauty, its own aesthetic excellence. Baudelaire called literature invitation au voyage, and the voyage is at once from yourself and with yourself. In that way, literature is paradoxical, simultaneously selfish and selfless. Bloom has been in control of his own music since his first book on Percy Shelley, and his suffering these last several years has been significant: the deaths of cherished friends; the manifold illnesses and injuries that required multiple operations and anguished recoveries; the exhaustion of a body that murmurs No as the mind and spirit insist on chanting Yes.
At nearly 90 years of age, Bloom assured me in a recent message that he has no plans to depart this world just yet. The work, as ever, has been his sustaining force. Possessed by Memory: The Inward Light of Criticism, published in April , is his 47th book — and is, in several ways, his most personal. His departed family members and friends are everywhere in these pages; especially touching is his remembrance of his mother and her reliance on the Pentateuch.
There are new considerations of his mainstays: Shakespeare and Dr. Johnson, Milton and Wordsworth, Whitman and Proust, among sublime others. I think of Angus Fletcher, M. Abrams, Kenneth Burke, A. Ammons, John Hollander, John Ashbery: hauntings by them help mold this book into a glimmering threnody.
Did you start out to memorialize your friends in such a way? It started to become a meditation upon mortality. My prime mentors — Frederick A.
With the recent deaths of William Merwin and Richard Wilbur, and of John Ashbery before them, my loneliness increased. I was very close to the poets A. They seem to be in the room with me. They also appear in my dreams. I have never written a poem. My only gift, as I understand it, is to have learned to listen: to students and to ghosts. I could wish the book were less somber than it is. Something occurred to me on my second reading of Possessed by Memory: your essential friendships — those that were deeply reciprocal, that helped fertilize your work as you helped fertilize theirs — have been with poets and critics and not novelists or dramatists.
I know what certain fiction writers mean to you — Cervantes, Kafka, Proust and Possessed by Memory ends with a penetrating assessment of Proust — but the poets Shakespeare, Shelley, Blake, Keats, Whitman, Dickinson, Yeats, Crane, Stevens have clearly meant the most to you. That is most of the story, yes. During the s and s, I spent a great deal of time with Philip Roth.
There were also interchanges with Tony Kushner and the novelist Walter Abish. Hart Crane broke the vessels for me. I then read Shakespeare, Milton, Whitman, the Romantics and Victorians and 20th-century poetry in English with a kind of fury that Crane had put into me. Probably my essential reading experience comes down to the Hebrew Bible, Dante, Shakespeare. I continue to read Yeats, D. Lawrence, Hart Crane, and Stevens almost daily. In their departure from their predecessors, they honed their own aesthetic.
You see these swervings and disruptions in English-language criticism: Coleridge moving away from Dryden and Johnson, Arnold from Coleridge, Eliot and Empson attempting to disrupt and correct Arnold while simultaneously taking from him. Your own critical program began with a focus on the Romantic poets, on making new paths from the likes of M.
Abrams and Northrop Frye. To what extent were you conscious of needing to swerve from or to disrupt your own potent predecessors? I had a bad nightmare on July 11, , following my 37th birthday.
I have written about this elsewhere. I was sadly amused when Northrop Frye told mutual friends that he could not read the book because it was all about him. It is not. Nor is it about my humane mentors M.
Abrams and Frederick A. After years of meditation I have come to believe that the Covering Cherub, a figure out of Ezekiel and Blake, was smothering me with the massive heft of all the poems I had read, loved, remembered.
If I have a potent precursor, it would have to be Dr. Samuel Johnson. I am a good schoolteacher: he is beyond me and beyond disruption. Had I followed family tradition, I would have become a rabbi. Instead, I am a secular rabbi like those celebrated by Wallace Stevens. I teach Shakespeare as scripture. I often try to impart to readers the Eucharistic component to the strongest literature, the necessity of its sacral communing. I see this as the difference between the rare joy of aesthetic mastery in Dante and the mere enjoyment of a contemporary best seller: the difference between gravitas and gratification.
In An Experiment in Criticism, C. Lewis differentiates between strong readers and weak readers. Strong readers experience an important book as a sacral event, their worldviews revamped. Weak readers read an important book and nothing at all happens to them. Near the start of the The Western Canon, you acknowledge that reading for aesthetic pleasure and necessary wisdom has gone the way of the plesiosaur.
Twenty-five years later, as the internet perseveres in the strafing of our souls, I wonder how grim is your outlook. I regret not sharing your admiration for C. After a few amiable encounters in the autumn of at Cambridge University, the distinguished defender of the faith and I fell out while sharing drinks at the Anchor Bar. Gnosticism upset him gravely.
We did not speak again after that. I concluded by relying upon Saint Augustine, who taught us all how to read strongly and how memory, time, and consciousness relate to imaginative literature, though of course the Bible was for him the truth. Partly that is inspired by my students, but also I receive endless emails, straight mails, phone calls, and visits from good readers throughout the world who have been kind enough to want to tell me that I have been their teacher.
There is a saving remnant. Young women and men the world over read and hear the call of wisdom and the urgency of intelligence. I am pretty much a relic, yet I believe the future — if there is one — will depend upon deep readers all over the globe. Without reading Dante, Shakespeare, Montaigne, Cervantes, and their few peers, we cannot learn how to think.
And if we cannot think, then the future belongs to the Trumps of the world — that is to say, to the apocalyptic beasts from the sea. But of course a society made up of such individuals is something to smile on. It is true and perhaps sad that the highest literature teaches us how to speak to ourselves rather than to others. Reading Dante and Shakespeare may improve an individual but will not make him a better citizen.
More than ever I am a dinosaur. But I have to reason outward from my students. Doubtless they are all involved in these technologies. I grant that I choose them from a possible group that is already elite. And yet they are as good as any students I have taught in my 63 years at Yale.
Cultural coverage is so remote from my aesthetic experience that clearly I will go on provoking tired readers. Still, if I have a public function, and I doubt it, it would have to be as a living relic of an age that could give us Wallace Stevens and John Ashbery.
Your age has given us also a clutch of thrilling critical voices who helped establish American literary comment as a worthy art, just as your own work has demonstrated that art and has helped complete the imaginative literature it sets out to evaluate and appreciate. What becomes of a culture that does a lot of feeling about itself but no longer knows how to think about literature? High literature has three prime attributes: cognitive power, originality, aesthetic splendor.
Only by a disciplined harnessing of emotion can any of these three come forth. It cannot touch the interdependence of criticism and literature because it is mindless. Culture is now cut off from fashion. Popular culture has become an oxymoron. Bad taste is not culture. There are still many valuable writers of imaginative works in our society.
It seems to me that they prosper best when they take a stance apart from the immediate moment. Distraction is the enemy. I see no crisis in the reciprocity of literature and criticism because the culture industries are irrelevant to it.

Q: Windows 7: How can I get a list of all Windows user names in .Net? Is there a simple way to get the names of all the user names of a local Windows 7 machine using .Net? So if I had a machine named MyPC, and it had 3 users MyPC\Mike, MyPC\Bob, and MyPC\Steve, I'd just want to be able to query to get Mike, Bob, and Steve. Of course, I don't care if they have the computer name attached, or not, as well.

A: If no-one comes up with a better way, you could enumerate the \Users folder and use the folders in there as representations. (Providing each user has logged in and the network isn't using roaming profiles)

Zephyr will provide housing and services for the homeless Veteran population. An existing motel, the interior of the motel will be completely refinished to include all new flooring and wall surfaces; redesigned bathrooms for accessibility and water efficiency; upgraded mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; and the addition of private kitchenettes. Existing tuck-under parking at the rear of the building will be built out as seven newly constructed apartments. The building itself will be architecturally enhanced to modernize it against the backdrop of the Grantville community. It will also receive building envelope renovations to make it more energy efficient and elevator upgrades to enhance accessibility. Zephyr will be home to extremely low income and homeless veterans. It will not only provide comprehensive on-site social services and case management services for its residents, but also access to other veteran services at the local VA Clinic (just four trolley stops away) on Rio San Diego Drive. Zephyr responds to two important initiatives of the San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) and the City of San Diego Mayor's Office: Housing First- SCHC's Homelessness Action Plan and Housing Our Heroes – The 1000 Homeless Veterans Initiative, respectively. The project has received VHHP funds, $3.0M and 84 project-based vouchers, from SDHC. The remainder of the project funding will come from 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits.


Dogs had been trained for military purposes by both sides during World War I. Once the war was over, the practice was temporarily abandoned. On March 13, 1942, the Quartermaster Corps of the U.S. Army once again began training dogs for the now official War Dog Program called the K-9 Corps.
Over a million dogs took part in the war effort during WWI. One of the most celebrated of them was Rin Tin Tin, an abandoned German Shepherd puppy found in France and brought to the U.S. He achieved fame and fortune as a silent movie star, and popularized the then little known German Shepherd breed throughout the United States.
Once the war was over, the canines of America went back to fetching slippers and chasing cats – until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. On March 13, 1942 the Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson authorized the Army to begin inducting dogs to aid the war effort. Initially, thirty breeds were accepted for service, but the number was quickly whittled down to seven: German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, Doberman Pinschers, Belgian Sheep Dogs, Giant Schnauzers, Farm Collies and Eskimo dogs.
A K-9 Training Center was established in late 1942 at Fort Robinson, Nebraska where thousands of dogs were trained for duty. Once obedience training was completed, members of the K-9 Corps began one of four programs to prepare them to work as sentry, messenger, scout or patrol, or mine detection dogs. Scout dogs proved the most useful in combat situations, preventing surprise attacks by alerting troops to an approaching enemy. Training generally took between 8-12 weeks.
The stand-out canine war hero of WWII was Chips, an intrepid German Shepherd trained as an infantry dog who served with the 3rd Infantry Division. After breaking loose from his handlers, Chip located and attacked an enemy machine gun nest, forcing their surrender to allied forces. The wounded war dog was initially awarded the Silver Star, the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross – all of which were later taken away because the Army forbade the issuing of these honors to animals.
In fact, the war dogs who served so faithfully were not always treated well. For instance, over 20,000 family dogs sent off to the Army when the K-9 Corps was first forming were killed for being "too old" (over five) or otherwise found to be "unfit for duty". Veteran K-9 dogs were also often killed by the Army until very recently. They reasoned that the animals would not be able to adjust to civilian life.
When the Vietnam war ended, combat dogs were left behind as "surplus military equipment" when U.S. troops pulled out. This was also traumatic for their human K-9 Corps trainers and handlers, who worked with these faithful animals on a daily basis, saving lives and risking their own. Like-minded veterans soon joined together to protect and honor American service dogs. Thanks to pressure from veterans and animal lovers, the United States now accords war dogs many of the same honors and privileges as full members of the military.


Half-term holidays – time to plan ahead!
As we get to the start of the school summer holidays (some lucky children might be off already…), chances are you've already organised your own family holiday for the summer, if you haven't already been away (if you haven't, get yourself over to our main site and take a look at the last minute deals – but be quick, these really don't have much space left).
Yet if you haven't sorted anything out, or perhaps you're one of those who just loves a holiday and you want more, then maybe consider thinking about a cruise during the first half-term of next year. There are some great options still available, and at prices that are generally lower than the peak summer you can often grab a relative bargain for a time when the kids are out of school.
Most half-term dates in the country are around the end of October, which is a fantastic time of the year to cruise. The weather in the Mediterranean is still enjoyable, and without a doubt more pleasant than you'll enjoy in the UK, while the Caribbean season is just starting to really ramp up with plenty of options for your cruise line, ship and duration.
There are a number of mini cruises available around this time if that's the kind of holiday you'd prefer, as well as plenty of longer duration voyages for a week or much more, with a cruise line to suit everyone – particularly if you want a fun-packed family break.
Give our Cruise Concierge team a call if you want to know more about our half-term cruises, and book yourself an escape before winter starts to kick in.


This homemade bath paint recipe has just two ingredients and you can make it in seconds. You could whip some up for bath time tonight!
My daughter loves the texture of this homemade bath paint. It's so quick and easy to make, with just two ingredients: shaving foam and food colouring.
We like to make it in an old muffin tin, which gives you a palette with a selection of colours.
All you need to do to make the bath paint is squirt a little shaving foam in each space of the muffin tin, and then stir in your colour. I like to use food colouring gels, as you only need to use a tiny little bit of colour.
And I like to leave a few spaces on the muffin tin palette empty, to encourage the children to try out some colour mixing of their own.
You can play with this paint on a wipe-able cloth on the table, on the yard floor, in the sink, or in the bathtub. And as it's made with shaving foam, clean up is very easy as you can just wash it all away.
I have never had any of this homemade paint stain our bathtub, but I'd suggest you check out your brand of food colouring carefully just in case.
hi, just wondering, are shaving cream safe for babies, as my boy is only 10 months old.
Hi Maria. I would be cautious about using it with a young baby, as you will need to be certain he's not going to put any in his mouth or eyes. What about trying an 'edible' finger paint recipe instead? You can use cornflour/water, or yoghurt/pudding as the base.
I have searched the net for ways to practice spelling in the shower. Reciting with background noise teaches my son to focus but he needed the visual as well. We are using the see it, say, write it method. And well this with calming water sensory learning is absolutely perfect!! Thank you!

During the Big "I" Fall Leadership Conference in Chicago, Spencer Houldin, Big "I" immediate past chairman, presented Chairman Citations to members, carrier personnel and state and national association staff who have made significant contributions to independent agents over the past year:
Jay Byrnes, president of Byrnes Insurance in Danville, Connecticut, has served on the national Big "I" Finance Committee and as chairman of the Big "I" Board Steering/Election Committee, and currently represents Connecticut on the Big "I" National Board of Directors. "He has done fantastic work as chairman of the Agents Council for Technology, and he has been a mentor of mine for many years," Houldin said.
Peter Houldin is co-president of Ericson Insurance Advisors and ran the family agency while Spencer served as a volunteer leader for the association. "He sacrificed on the home front so I could do the work of the Big 'I,'" Houldin said.
Glenn Westrick, senior vice president of government relations at the Travelers, is "someone I've called on for advice many times," Houldin said. "Travelers is a true partner of the association."
Larry Case, former CEO of the Missouri Association of Insurance Agents, served as president of the state association executives group and worked closely with Houldin. "It was a great partnership, and he did everything he could to help move the ball forward on some of my initiatives," Houldin said.
Warren Ruppar has served for almost 40 years as the president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Connecticut. "He has dedicated his whole life to independent agents in the state of Connecticut and to furthering the mission of the association," Houldin said.
Scott Kneeland, Big "I" general counsel, "is a huge asset to the association," said Houldin, who worked with Kneeland on a daily basis in his role as chairman.
Susie Bonner, Big "I" director of agent development and marketing, led the association's membership initiative on top of her normal workload. "She has dedicated her time and showed a tremendous amount of passion for membership recruitment efforts across the country," Houldin said.
Sue Nester, Big "I" director of broadcast media, creates top-notch video content for the association that helps spread the word about membership benefits and the value of independent agents. "She has an energy and passion for what she does, and her work benefits independent agents," Houldin said.
Congratulations to this year's recipients!

Q: Accessing Object from different thread - Tasks i am new to tasks and don't really know if its good to use it the way i want.
I have a Class which inherits from TextBlock and colorize the text (Syntaxhighlighting).
It does take awhile so i want to do it in Background
Here is my code so far:
async void SyntaxTextBlock_TargetUpdated(object sender, System.Windows.Data.DataTransferEventArgs e)
{
    if ((clientSettings.SyntaxCheck || clientSettings.SyntaxHighlighting) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(Text))
    {
        string value = Text;
        Syntax syntax = await Task.Factory.StartNew(() => DoSyntax(value));
        Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Background, new Action(() =>
        {
            if (syntax.IsTextDecoration)
                TextDecorations.Add(Syntax.TextDecoration);

            ToolTip = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, syntax.Messages);
            Text = null;
            foreach (Run run in syntax.Runs)
                Inlines.Add(run);

        }));
    }
}

My problem is i cant access the syntax.Runs List from the object Syntax which is returned by DoSyntax(value).
Error: the calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it
I tried it with the scheduler TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext and it worked, but the GUI freezed.
Is there a way to do this on multiple different threads while the gui does not freeze?

A: The problem is that DoSyntax is creating thread-affine objects (specifically, Syntax) while on a background thread.
You'll need to change DoSyntax so that it will only create "normal" objects (like a list of ranges with colors/semantics) on the background thread, and then have your UI thread process that and create the actual Syntax types, if necessary.

Proparco signs its first operation in Malaysia to support the healthcare sector
AsiaMalaysia
Proparco has just invested US$ 4 million in Lablink, a chain of Malaysian medical testing laboratories, as part of its commitment to the Company's regional development.
Proparco's investment – its first in the country – is part of a US$ 30 million financing drive by Quadria Capital, a major investment fund that specialises in the healthcare sector. These funds will help the Company to grow and develop its regional operations.
Lablink is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KPJ, one of Malaysia's biggest hospital operators, and it already has 25 laboratories throughout the country. It provides services ranging from diagnoses of existing pathologies (molecular testing, bacteriology, etc.) to prevention (infectious diseases, allergies, etc.). The Company is also looking to develop higher value-added testing solutions such as analysis of highly infectious diseases. Lablink has been certified as using best quality industry standards.
This project is in phase with Proparco's development mandate and will improve access to healthcare services in the region. It will reduce the current mismatch between an insufficient healthcare offering and rapidly increasing demand and will also improve the quality of healthcare on offer. It will therefore help promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) No. 3 (Healthy Lives and Wellbeing) and No. 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Common Tripartite Circuit for Division of Estates Exceeding One Hundred Million Riyals
Abdulaziz AlShahrani
a.alshahrani@tamimi.com Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Common Tripartite Circuit
When we look at the reality of succession, we cannot help but notice that the division of large estates is often complex and tangled, and it often takes the heirs a very long time to receive their respective bequests. Indeed, it is not unusual for it to take many, many years for the heirs to receive their share. As disputes drag on, relations amongst the beneficiaries can become strained, and even jeopardised. Conversely, heirs may choose to give up their rights to their share of an estate in order to preserve family harmony.
Recognising the potential pitfalls related to the distribution of large estates, a minister who has worked tirelessly to elevate the judiciary to a stage that meets expectations, has been a major driving force behind an unprecedented development in the Kingdom's judicial arena; that of addressing the problems associated with succession in Saudi. In an attempt to find a solution to the historically long and protracted process of distributing large family estates and in the public interest, H.E. was responsible for, amongst others, the establishment of a Tripartite Circuit to consider estates exceeding one hundred million riyals (US$27 million) pursuant to decision No. 38/2/105 dated 23/07/1438 AH.
The decision does not limit the Circuit's jurisdiction to the adjudication of future inheritance cases of more than one hundred million riyals, but also includes the cases that are still currently being disputed before general and family courts but which have not yet been adjudicated under the Follow-Up Committee. The Inheritance Cases Follow-Up Committee is charged with supervising the work of the Circuit, validating its procedures as well as ensuring the consistent and speedy delivery of the Circuit's decisions all whilst preserving the independence of the judiciary.
Having appeared before this Circuit, we can attest to its particular interest in and commitment to delivering speedy judgments in inheritance cases, e.g., by issuing hearing dates and timetables in advance thereby streamlining the process and setting transparent and practical expectations for beneficiaries and those tasked with administering estates.
Other developments of note on the judicial front include the establishment of labour courts and commercial courts, as well as various judicial committees, as a means of reducing caseload strain on other courts. This has had the impact of improving 'turn around' times which, consequently, enables judges to spend more time and effort on individual cases. There are also validation committees to receive and verify cases based on the completeness and clarity of their details and documents as well as to consider jurisdictional aspects in terms of territory and subject matter, before referring them to the judicial Circuit for trial.
To conclude, this Circuit has brought about a qualitative leap in the Saudi judiciary, which is characterised by the improved and increasing accuracy of judgments, competency of its personnel, and speedy adjudication of cases referred thereto.
Al Tamimi & Company's KSA Litigation team regularly advises on the Division of Estates. For further information please contact Abdulaziz AlShahrani (a.alshahrani@tamimi.com).

The amount wagered topped the bets made over the previous year by approximately £10 million.

IMT is already present on the Paris Saclay campus, and has been since 2012.
Ahead of the mass move to Palaiseau in 2019, some fifty people from research teams at Télécom SudParis and Télécom ParisTech moved into the Nano-INNOV building in Palaiseau in spring 2012 and are contributing to the development of the NanoSciences / Nanotechnologies thematic.
The teams concerned are working on identified research themes for which collaborations with teams from the CEA-LIST already exist, or are likely to be created.
There is a focus on optics and interaction for multimedia (biometry, televigilance) fields, as well as on networks and embedded systems sectors.
Additionally, identified scientific projects may be carried out depending on opportunities.
Nano-INNOV is located near the plot of land where the new IMT facility will be built in 2019 (opposite Horiba and near the Institut d'optique Graduate School).

Clean Bandit: a portrait of the hit group!
In just a few short years, electropop classical-crossover group, Clean Bandit, has conquered Britain and the world. This 8 August, the audience at the Monaco Salle des Étoiles will, in this magnificent setting, discover the festive music of the group, led by the charismatic Grace Chatto. The signer of the trio will be emcee of their venue as part of the 2019 Monte-Carlo Sporting Summer Festival.
Can Mozart's melodies really live alongside house beats? Thanks to Clean Bandit, we now know the answer is undoubtedly "yes"! Since their 2013 hit appropriately named Mozart's House, the group has continued to blend different genres. In addition to electronic and symphonic music, dance hall, pop and even hip-hop have infused the scores of these masterminds of the charts. What's their secret? Their ability to produce chart-topping songs and to attract prestigious vocalists, who collaborate with the group as featured artists in their anthology.
From a duo to a group
Looking at the impressive streaming numbers and YouTube views of Clean Bandit's hit songs over the last four years, it is hard to believe that the group struggled for some years before making it big. The cheerful band was formed in 2008 around the electronic productions written by Jack Patterson. At this time, he used samples of a string quartet, for which then girlfriend Grace Chatto played the cello. The couple was living in Moscow when the duo was joined by Luke Patterson, Jack's brother, and Ssegawa-Ssekintu Kiwanuka, who laid down the vocals on their first compositions. The group recorded Mozart's House in Russia in 2010. It would take several years before their song would hit the radio waves. Thanks to much sacrifice and many club gigs—and despite personal bumps in the road, with Kiwanuka's decision to leave the group to pursue a career in science and Grace and Jack's split—the group is still going strong. They have enjoyed a string of hits: after Mozart's House, the success of Rather Be, featuring Jess Glynne, shot them to the top of the charts, a position they have managed to hold ever since.
Clean Bandit's classical and electronic crossover productions flooded the airwaves in 2014: after Grammy-award-winning Rather Be, Extraordinary, Come Over and Real Love were all successful releases. The singles form the framework of their début album, New Eyes. To top off their undeniable musical talent, the quartet works very hard on the visual elements of its videos, making the group a YouTube phenomenon. The summertime vibe of their compositions has major appeal for clubs and stages all around the world: seaside dance floors at pop festivals, after-party evening galas, and more. From Ibiza to Monaco, with a stopover in Kyoto, the whole planet is grooving along to their first album.
A turning-point and continued success
In 2016, the trio's sound took a sharp turn. Rockabye, the first release from their second album What is Love?, featured vocals by Sean Paul and Anne-Marie and was more heavily saturated in synthetic notes than string arrangements. This new electropop recipe would place Grace, Jack and Luke among the stars. For the last two years, each of their singles has been fronted by a notable guest artist, including names like Zara Larsson, Marina (aka Marina and the Diamonds), Demi Lovato, Luis Fonsi, and Ellie Goulding. From Solo to Mama, Symphony or I Miss You... All of these songs are available in live versions featuring solo singing performances by Grace, who has come to personify Clean Bandit in their videos and on stage. The young woman, accompanied by her two musical accomplices, will, as part of their summer tour, lay it all out on stage in Paris for Lollapalooza 2019 and in Monaco for the Monte-Carlo Sporting Summer Festival!

Porto Loutro is one of our favourite spots in Greece. You really could not stay any closer to the sea than this!
There are two sister hotels here. Porto Loutro I ('on the beach') run by Alison Androulakakis and Porto Loutro II ('on the hill') run by her daughter Sophia.
Porto Loutro I, just 5 metres from the sparkling turquoise sea, has traditional blue and white decor and comprises 18 rooms. All possess air conditioning (which can provide heating for early season), WiFi, fridge, room safe, shower room and a balcony with sea views to the front or side. There is a small bar on the first floor where you can take breakfast or enjoy a drink on the terrace above the sea.
On the ground floor are four spacious studios. They are double-bedded and possess a basic kitchenette with cooking rings and fridge, a shower room and a small living area to the front containing a sofa-bed. They share a large common sun terrace just above the beach. A fifth studio is set slightly behind.
An upgrade is planned for winter 2018 which will see new decor/furnishings, luxury bedding and new walk-in showers in all rooms. WiFi is provided in the rooms and on the beach but it is not permitted on the terrace. Please note that the hotel will not accommodate children under 7 years.
Porto Loutro II is above the bay to one side, accessed by steps. Its elevated position ensures breathtaking views, especially from the deluxe rooms on the top floor which have large sun terraces. The rooms offer the same facilities as those in PL1 and a high standard of decor and furnishings.
PL2 has a beautiful sea-facing terrace to the front housing a cafe-bar and restaurant. Both hotels have limited number of rooms and understandably high demand so you need to book early. There is an ATM at Chora Sfakion a short ferry hop away.
Transfer note: Includes 20 mins. by ferry (unescorted, tickets provided) and there will be a short wait at Chora Sfakion harbour. You will need to carry baggage to the short distance to the jetty, on/off the boat and to the hotel (1 minute). Loutro combines very well with Paleochora – please see twin-centre holidays note on resort intro page.
Standard room with air conditioning, double bed, bathroom (shower), telephone, complimentary WiFi, fridge, room safe and balcony with sea view.
Studio with air conditioning, double bed, bathroom (shower), small living area, sofa bed, complimentary WiFi and kitchenette.

It's hard to keep up with the Chinese electric car market — it's harder to find a good, reliable source for Chinese EV news. But wait, there were hardly any EV sales in China last year — not much has been going on there.
I've noted previously that sales for the BYD Qinwere expected to be high, but this is better than I expected.

Dangote At FIIRO, Pledges To Tackle Malnutrition
By Ikechukwu Onyewuchi
20 June 2015 | 11:51 pm
The Dangote Group has pledged to partner with the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi (FIIRO) to fight the menace of malnutrition in Nigeria.
The group said it wishes to adopt indigenous technology fabricated in the Institute to address health, skills development and poverty alleviation challenges in the country.
This was disclosed during a courtesy visit to the institute by the Dangote Group led Ms. Zouera Youssoufou, Chief Executive Officer, Dangote Foundation.
In her remarks, Director General of the institute, Dr. (Mrs.) Gloria Elemo said she was happy to have the Dangote delegation, stressing "the interest of Dangote in food processing was mutual with that of the Institute.
"The Dangote group has impacted on the lives of Africans, most especially in job creation. The company's interest in food processing provides a veritable platform for collaboration with FIIRO. The institute is the only one of its kind in Nigeria with special mandate for Research and Development (R&D) in food processing and agro-allied industries."
She said the institute has over 50 technologies ready for commercialisation and fit for the Nigerian market, noting that over 20 institutions have signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with FIIRO. Making a case for a strategic partnership between the two organisations, she expressed her wish that the visit would culminate to the Dangote Group signing an MOU and strengthening the collaboration.
According to her, the areas of focus are "Youths and women empowerment at both state and federal levels. The institute can do these by leveraging on its technology transfer and entrepreneurship development programme; and job creation, which the Dangote Group is driving in the country. There is also the area of new product development in commodities, where the country has a competitive advantage. There is also the area of research and development of strategic projects. We are also looking at the enrichment of the Dangote Training School programme, particularly in foundry and welding, among other things."
In her response, Ms. Youssoufou said that she didn't realise that in-depth, impactful and indigenous research has advanced so much in the country, commending the staff for keeping the spirit research and development alive. She assured the institute of her support, as they have stirred her interest, especially in the area of nutrition.
FG, Ogun to promote vitamin A, bio-fortified food


Aliene was running harder than she had ever thought possible. Sucking in the warm air and exhaling with a hiss, she bolted across the open water. The water walk technique embedded in her body over the past decade was taxing to her magic. She spun around on one of her steps and balanced as she froze more of the area. The flush of heat rising over her bare legs soothing the ache in her muscles.
She scanned the dense foliage for any sign of movement, keeping her eyes moving while she pulled a bow from her shoulders. She loosely grasped the worn grip of her recurve bow, briefly admiring the light metal spine in the wood. It was almost older than she was, but strong enough to handle the magically-aided draw she put on it.
Nocking an arrow, she caught the scent of burned flesh filling the air, and a moment later her prey burst forth from the tree line. Aliene had lured the toridea towards the village so they wouldn't have to carry it far. Now was her chance for the kill. The beast had taken a few arrows already, and its acidic saliva ran like a river. The great reptile outweighed three grown men and could glide through water silently when it wasn't enraged.
This one, however, was enraged. Its gills flared and its eyes widened, staring down towards Aliene. She drew her arrow back, and the comforting sound of strain wood filled her ear over the trashing of the charging beast. In the space of a heartbeat, as the toridea's front feet reached the height of its step, she released the arrow.
The long thin branch whistled as it sped through the space between prey and hunter. After years under the best marksman in the village, Aliene's aim was nearly as good. In a spray of blood and saliva, the beast fell into a forward roll. With a second arrow loosed into the underbelly, the creature was finished, its few remaining breaths labored and wheezy.
"Good shot," Hafwen called from the shoreline, a smirk cracking her stony face. She had raised and mentored Aliene for nearly two decades, all for the times Aliene would face tomorrow on her twentieth birthday.
The large wooden doors to the village opened, and a group of men walked out, nodding politely to Hafwen. As they approached Aliene, who was slogging through the river towards the shore, a few patted her shoulder and gave passing praise. Aliene looked over to Hafwen, who was shaking her head and pointing to her kill. After all this time, she hounded Aliene to keep up her basics and now wanted her to retrieve the arrows.
"Care for a lift?" His voice cracked a little, making Aliene smile as she accepted. He hoisted her upon his shoulder and continued to her kill. The men in Misten's tribes were large mountains of honed muscle, their natural strength letting them maintain the villages. The men stayed at the village as defense. They also built and repaired the homes; a task made much easier by their ability to work in chest deep water.
The day's hunt done, Aliene returned through the gates of the Aquar Equian tribe's Village with Hafwen already gone.

iO Academy Ranked in Top 10 Coding Bootcamps in the World
Written by io-academy, 1 October 2020
Academy trainer Rayna explains wireframes in Week 1
iO Academy (previously Mayden Academy) has been placed as the 6th best coding bootcamp in the world, according to the 2021 Best Coding Bootcamp Rankings from independent trainer ratings website SwitchUp.
The annual rankings, released on 23 September, are based on over 20,000 student and alumni reviews of more than 500 technology bootcamps in operation around the world. To be considered for the rankings, bootcamps are assessed across criteria including quality of curriculum, career support, and an overall experience score.
This is the first year that we have earned a place in the top 50 rankings for our coding course the Full Stack Track, entering straight into a top 10 position. We are one of only two UK-owned bootcamps to make the list. The achievement reflects consistently high standards of success, with only bootcamps with excellent alumni satisfaction (rated at least 4 out of 5 stars) being shortlisted.
iO Academy Director Mike Oram said: "We are overwhelmed to be recognised as a global leader in training people to become great software developers. As a small team we have worked incredibly hard to provide the best possible coding training since we started in 2015, so it is great to know that our alumni are as proud of us as we are of them."
2020 graduate Daniella Skinner said: "The iO Academy course is more than just a coding bootcamp; it's one of the best things I've done and I would recommend it to anyone considering a career in tech. It was a friendly, fun, and supportive environment and during my time there I felt that the trainers and everyone involved in running the course wanted the students to do well."
Our Full Stack Track course is an intensive 16 week training course for people who want to change careers, teaching all the skills needed to become a software developer. We also work with tech companies all over the South West, introducing our graduates to employers who need new tech talent.
SwitchUp's recent study of students enrolled in coding bootcamps during the pandemic found that 90% said they were satisfied with their learning experience. The study found that this was due to supportive instructors, helpful career services, and a strong sense of community. It also noted that as coding bootcamps are embedded in the tech world, they were able to respond more quickly and effectively to teaching in lockdown than traditional educators.
Our own remote student survey found that 100% of our students were either satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of training we provided during lockdown.

Allison gets first collegiate start in bowl game
Former Palmetto High quarterback will lead West Virginia vs. Syracuse in Orlando
Scott Lockwood
slockwood@heraldtribune.com
ORLANDO — Jack Allison couldn't have scripted a better place for his first collegiate start.
The former Palmetto High quarterback, who transferred to West Virginia from Miami prior to last season, will be under center for the Mountaineers when they take on Syracuse in today's Camping World Bowl in Orlando.
Allison will get the opportunity to start after Will Grier elected to sit out the game to prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft. The junior appeared in West Virginia's bowl game last year and has played in four games this season. He has completed 6 of 10 passes for 75 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
"I think Jack has been outstanding when it comes to a backup quarterback," said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen.
"The time that he's been able to go in and play, I thought, he went in and played pretty well. Guys change quickly when they get out of the backup mentality, the backup role. I've been excited and encouraged to see what he's been doing with the practice reps that he's gotten over the last couple of weeks. He's attacked it the right way, and I've been satisfied with that."
Palmetto coach Dave Marino, who coached Allison during his time with the Tigers, said his former player is confident and excited for the opportunity. Allison has spent most of this season getting reps with West Virginia's No. 2 offense.
"He's got a substantial amount of reps this season and he's done well," Marino said. "He's confident in his abilities and he knows his strengths. Obviously his arm strength is one of them, and with the experiences he's had this year it should all bode well for him."
Allison, 6-5, 200, threw for more than 1,400 yards and 11 TD passes his senior season at Palmetto. He completed 62.1 percent of his passes and had just five interceptions his final year guiding the Tigers. Allison was a consensus four-star prospect coming out of high school and redshirted during his time at Miami.
A solid showing in the Camping World Bowl will give Allison a leg up on the starting quarterback job for next season. Marino said that a large contingent from the Palmetto football program plans to be in attendance at Camping World Stadium.
"He's got a great work ethic and nothing ever gets him down," Marino said. "He's always smiling, happy and positive. When things don't go his way or obstacles arise, he's always had the ability to stay positive and believe in himself and keep working his way through it."
"I couldn't be more happy for Jack ... not only for getting his first start, but for getting it so close to home."
Allison was not available for comment this week according to the university.
The Camping World Bowl will be televised at 5:15 p.m. Friday on ESPN.
