Federal Judge Rudolph Randa recovering from surgery
By John Diedrich of the Journal Sentinel
Dec. 23, 2015 0
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa is expected to be out of work for at least the next six weeks as he recovers from surgery.
Randa underwent surgery on Dec. 11 and is going through the postoperative protocol, according to Chief U.S. District Judge William Griesbach.
"A positive result is expected," Griesbach said Wednesday.
Further details of Randa's surgery were not released. He is expected back in court in late February or early March.
Randa, 75, was appointed to the federal bench in 1992 by then-President George H.W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate.
In June 2007, Randa announced he would move into senior status, a form of semiretirement for federal judges without a cut in pay or benefits. But he said he would do this only if then-President George W. Bush, a Republican, was able to appoint his successor.
Shortly after Democratic President Barack Obama was elected, Randa rescinded his application to go to senior status and has remained on full district court status.

Q: When and how can I use client certificate authentication on iOS? I have installed a x509/pfx certificate  under profiles in my iOS settings and configured my webserver (nginx) to require this certificate. With Safari on iOS, I can browse to my main page using the certificate, but when I try to go to any of my subdomains, I get error 421 Misdirected Request. Chrome does not seem to send the certificate at all (error 400). On the desktop however, everything works as it should.

*

*How can I go about debugging the iOS/Safari-specific issues?

*Can I send a certificate with WebDAV requests?

*Does each software need to be specifically set up to send client certificates?

I am using an iPhone 8 Plus with with iOS 14.3

Q: Simpler way to use array of class I have a class and then defined an array of class, each time that I want to add a node to array, I have to mention the class name that I don't like it:
export class ItemModel {
  constructor(
    ID,
    Name
  ) {
    this.ID = ID;
    this.Name = Name;
  }
}

export var ItemsArray = [];

ItemsArray.push(new ItemModel(0, "BreakFast"));
ItemsArray.push(new ItemModel(1, "Lunch"));
ItemsArray.push(new ItemModel(2, "Dinner"));

After reading this post:
https://answers.unity.com/questions/637902/how-to-use-javascript-array-with-classes.html
I tried to declare the class at the time that I define the array like this:
var ItemsArray : ItemModel[];

but I get error : "Types Can only be used in .ts files.
I searched google for that but none of them was helpful.
Any recommendation would be appreciated.

A: The post you've linked to is using TypeScript, which is a different language from JavaScript: It's a superset of JavaScript (which compiles to JavaScript) that adds static typing (and a couple of other features, like automatic property initialization in constructors).
This TypeScript line:
var ItemsArray : ItemModel[];

is equivalent to this JavaScript:
var ItemsArray;

It's just that the TypeScript version declares that the ItemsArray variable has the static type ItemModel[].
If you're using JavaScript itself, you don't define the types of variables. Your export var ItemsArray = []; is just fine (other than that I'd use let or const instead of var).

Side Note: You can write that array more concisely in JavaScript using an array initializer:
export const ItemsArray = [
    new ItemModel(0, "BreakFast"),
    new ItemModel(1, "Lunch"),
    new ItemModel(2, "Dinner")
];

That's also valid TypeScript, even without a type declaration: TypeScript will infer that you want the type of ItemsArray to be ItemModel[] (because TypeScript does type inference and it can see that you're filling ItemsArray with ItemModel objects).
If you wanted to start with an empty array but still give it a static type, you'd do this:
//                                   /------ Telling TypeScript to use ItemModel[]
//                      vvvvvvvvvvvvv        as the type
export const ItemsArray : ItemModel[] = [];
//                                   ^^^^^-- Initializing ItemsArray with an
//                                           empty array

Then your push calls would be typechecked, so this would work:
ItemsArray.push(new ItemModel(0, "BreakFast"));

but this would cause an error (during TypeScript->JavaScript compilation)
ItemsArray.push("BreakFast");

because "Breakfast" is not compatible with ItemModel.

Side Note 2: The overwhelming convention in JavaScript (and TypeScript) is that variables start with a lowercase letter, not an uppercase one. So itemsArray rather than ItemsArray.

A: Another alternative is to create a class that holds your items and make a method to add/remove them. This way, you won't have to new up your array items everytime. ...Well, you will. You just don't have to do it, the code will.

class ItemModel {
  constructor(id, name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
  }
}

class ItemModelCollection {
  constructor() {
    this.items = [];
  }
  addItem(id, name) {
    if (Array.isArray(this.items)) {
      this.items.push(new ItemModel(id, name));
    }
  }
  removeItem(id) {
    if (Array.isArray(this.items)) {
      this.items = this.items.filter( i => i.id !== id);
    }
  }
}

const itemCollection = new ItemModelCollection();
document.getElementById('addItem').onclick = (e) => {
  const id = itemCollection.items.length; // obviously figure out a better id generator
  itemCollection.addItem(id, `Item Number ${id}`);
  console.log(itemCollection);
};
<button id="addItem">Add Item</button>

I should also note that not doing new ItemModel(id, name) and doing the mentioned typescript way (<ItemModel>{ id: id, name: name}) is fine, but if the class has methods, they will not work since you are not 'newing it up'. If you just set the properties without initializing the class, you essentially lose the point of having the class.

Let me explain to you how Sofia's school morning drop off routine works. All the kids meet in the gym. This is done for safety reasons. Each class has their designated spot. Every day Sofia goes to her designated spot where her class sits, while I stand back against the wall, waiting to hear the morning announcements before starting my day.
Yesterday, Sofia and I got to school a bit earlier than usual. I tell her goodbye. Sofia goes to take her spot on the floor, while I grab my coffee and take my spot on at the wall, right behind her class. I am doing the usual. Checking messages on my phone, checking Facebook, and planning my day. Every now and then I glance up and make sure Sofia is doing okay.
Now, Sofia cannot see me unless she turns around, but I have a perfect view of her and her class. This is when I noticed it. Sofia is sitting next to a group of five girls. All five girls are talking to each other, but no one is talking to Sofia. I put away my phone and pay better attention to what may or may not be happening in front of me. Five minutes pass. Still, no one is talking to Sofia. Ten minutes pass. Still, no one is talking to her.
I start to wonder what is going on. Did something happen between Sofia and her fellow classmates? Is Sofia sitting there, feeling embarrassed because she has no one to talk to? Should I go over there? Of course, I cannot go over there! My heart is hurting for my ten-year-old daughter. I remember my days in elementary school. On the bus, at lunch, even in the classroom, no one would ever talk to me. I felt dumb, I felt there was something wrong with me. The last thing I want is for my own daughter to go through that.
Lisa takes a moment to evaluate the situation.
I spent the rest of the day thinking about Sofia. How was her day? Does she have anyone to play with at recess? What about lunch? I mean I know there is assigned seating at lunch, but who wants to eat lunch and not have anyone to talk to? I used to eat lunch in the bathroom because I did not want anyone to see I was "that" kid who had no friends. The same cannot happen with Sofia.
At the end of the day, I am back at the school waiting to pick Sofia up. Prepared to do any sort of damage control that I may need to do. I will even order pizza for dinner if that's what it takes to lift her spirits. I had Gracie with me. If anyone can give Sofia a boost of confidence, Gracie can. I mean just this week Gracie got in trouble for telling a boy to "mind your own damn business." Gracie is my perfect wingman.
There I am. Sitting at the table in the school foyer. Gracie is bored out of her mind, and we are waiting for Sofia. I am nervous, kind of sad, not sure what to expect.
Finally, Sofia and her class make their way down the hall. It's the moment of truth….
Gracie is looking at me like I am nuts, while Sofia has the biggest smile on her face.
I figured it was not the best of times to tell her I was crying ugly tears in the gym because I was worried about her.
Joe glances at me, expecting me to elaborate. I got nothing.
While the girls are talking to Joe, I sneak outside to call Christin. I give her the rundown of everything I just talked about here.
After much overthinking, I came to the conclusion that both Lisa and Christin are right. Sofia chooses not talk to some people. Not because she does not like them, maybe because she is just getting ready for her day, and prefers to do that in silence.
A situation that I took as a negative, was really nothing. It had no impact on Sofia's day. She did not even mention it. The moral of the story, Sofia is okay. She is more than okay. Sofia is coming into her own, in her own way. What may have shattered me as a child, does not have the same effect on Sofia.
As for me, I need to learn to let go of my fears. I need to realize that my past experiences and how I reacted to them will not be hers. My kids, they are just a better version of me.

Titus O'Neil Isn't Satisfied By Hulk Hogan's Apology
Robby Kalland 07.19.18 12 months ago 33 Comments
Hulk Hogan was reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame on Sunday prior to Extreme Rules, where he addressed the locker room in the back and issued an apology.
Hogan has yet to make a public appearance with WWE since his reinstatement, but the news the company was bringing him back in the fold three years after severing ties with him following video of him using the N-word came out created plenty of conversation. Unsurprisingly, many have turned to the company's African-American superstars for comment and their feelings on Hogan's return.
Mark Henry said he was "optimistic" after his conversation with Hogan, but that Hogan still has more work to do. The New Day released a statement noting they were "indifferent" to Hogan's return and that their mind could change if they see him "make a genuine effort to change." Shortly after New Day's statement, Titus O'Neil released a statement of his own on Twitter. O'Neil addressed the rumors he walked out of Extreme Rules and/or refused to shake Hogan's hand, calling both false. He also echoed those sentiments from New Day's statement, saying he was not satisfied by Hogan's apology at Extreme Rules, "and it's lack of true contrition, remorse and a desire to change."

Skype 3.0: Streamlined and Enhanced for the New Year
By Joseph Moran
External Storage: When One Disk Isn't Enough
Small Biz VPN Cuts Cost and Confusion
A Dash of Spice for Your Network
You might be forgiven if you had never heard of Skype prior to it being purchased by eBay a little more than a year ago. Skype's VoIP software has had a much higher profile since then, particularly after the company announced a promotion — which has since expired on 12/31/06 — offering unlimited free calls to "real" phones in the U.S. and Canada.
Skype has ushered in the New Year with an update to the Windows version of its software (versions are also available for Mac, Linux and Pocket PC/Windows Mobile platforms), but before we delve into the new Skype 3.0, let's go over the basics of how Skype works for any one not familiar with it.
Skype's software, which is available free of charge, lets you make voice and video calls (also for free) to other Skype customers worldwide. You can also use the optional SkypeOut feature to place calls using any PSTN phone — you purchase SkypeOut credits to pay per-minute charges, which vary depending on where you're calling (but are usually measured in mere pennies per minute). Last but not least, another optional service called SkypeIn lets you obtain a real phone number for your account, making you reachable via Skype by anyone with a regular phone. (SkypeIn also comes with voice mail).
Skype 3.0 Setup
If you're accustomed to Skype 2.5, you'll immediately be quite comfortable with version 3.0. There have been a handful of tweaks designed to streamline the tabbed interface while at the same time emphasizing features that were not always easy to find previous versions. By and large, though, basic functions work in 3.0 much the same as in the prior version.
Skype now helpfully adds a test call to your contact list automatically. Placing the call plays an automated message and allows you to record and listen to one of your own (and also to help ensure your microphone and speakers are set at appropriate levels). You can build up your Skype contacts by searching a directory of Skype customers to add to your list or by manually adding entries (by Skype name or PSTN phone number). Whenever you call someone not on your contact list, you're given the opportunity to easily add that person to it.
Making Calls
Placing calls via Skype is a simple task. You can either double-click a contact to start a voice call or choose from a right-click context menu to initiate other forms of communication (text chat, leave a voice-mail, send a file and so on). There's also an on-screen keypad for placing SkypeOut calls.
Just as you can with IM software, you can change your Skype online status to reflect your desire to communicate at any given time. You can set your account to indicate you don't want to be disturbed, or if you're feeling particularly sociable you can set your status to "Skype Me," which lets other Skype customers know you're up for unsolicited communications.
More on the practical side, you can set up conference calls among multiple Skype customers, and you can include SkypeOut calls in conferences as well. If you have a Webcam you can add video to your calls with other Skype customers. The video feature worked well even with a four-year-old Logitech QuickCam we had lying around.
Skype call quality is usually quite good — often as good or better than what you'd expect from a mobile phone. We had no difficulty placing high-quality calls with a 6 Mbps downstream/ 384 Kbps upstream cable modem connection, and we also experienced pretty good results (albeit with occasional sound gaps or echoes) when using a much slower 768 Kbps down/ 128 Kbps up DSL link.
Upstream bandwidth tends to be fairly important with Skype, particularly if you're on a call (especially a video call) while engaged in bandwidth-sapping activities like uploading files or sending e-mail attachments. When bandwidth is scarce or general network conditions are otherwise less than optimal, calls can devolve into unintelligible, herky-jerky sound bites, but for most people it shouldn't be an especially common occurrence.
Additional Features in Skype 3.0
Click on Skype's Live tab to choose from among various "Skypecasts" or live public conversations
Originally available only as separate add-ons, Skype Toolbars for Internet Explorer and Firefox are now built-in to Skype 3.0. Anyone that frequently makes calls via SkypeOut in particular will find the browser toolbars useful since they automatically detect and highlight phone numbers found on Web pages, which lets you place calls to those numbers with one click (it works with Skype names as well). There are Skype toolbars available that do the same thing within Microsoft Office documents or Outlook, Outlook Express, and Mozilla Thunderbird e-mails, but they still must be downloaded separately.
Also new to version 3.0 are Skype Extras, which are essentially third-party plug-ins that provide additional features or ways to communicate. Thus far, most of the Extras are either games or otherwise whimsical in nature (such as an animated avatar), but some appear to have more practical purposes.
There are Extras that can record calls, speak and translate chats in real time, and one that purports to analyze voices for stress (sort of a Skype-based lie detector). Given that these Extras are developed from various independent sources, the quality and documentation of Extras can vary. Skype Extras also may or may not be Skype-certified, and we definitely had better luck using ones that had been certified.
As of this writing, there are only about three dozen or so Extras available— but this number will likely grow. Indeed, if widely embraced by customers (as happened with Yahoo! Widgets) the usefulness of the Skype Extras feature is likely to improve significantly with age.
If you're looking for something more than just one-on-one communication, you can click Skype's Live tab and choose from among various "Skypecasts" or live public conversations. This feature is still in beta, and at least as of this writing, we didn't find it particularly compelling.
There were plenty of Skypecasts going on during the times we spent testing, and the ones we joined appeared well-attended — many had dozens of participants — but it was difficult to make anything out though a din of muffled voices. (Amusingly, we found one Skypecast that required participants to remain silent for 20 minutes as "an experiment in global consciousness".) It's also worth noting that many Skypecasts are conducted in languages other than English, which isn't surprising given that Skype is more popular in Europe than in North America.
SkypeOut Pricing
For people who don't know a lot of Skype customers, the capability to place cheap long-distance calls or international calls via SkypeOut will be a major factor when considering the software. Even though the free SkypeOut calls promotion is now history, Skype is offering a new flat-rate plan that's the next best thing. If you sign up before January 31, 2007, you can get a year of unlimited calling within the U.S. and Canada for a paltry $14.95. (Afterward, the cost doubles to $29.95, which still isn't bad.)
As for international calls, Skype has indicated that changes are also afoot for its international rates. Full details are due to be announced on Jan.18, and while Skype says its new pricing will be "disruptive," it remains to be seen whether that's good or bad for SkypeOut customers.
Although Skype 3.0's new features like Extras and Skypecasting aren't earth shattering (at least not yet), it continues to be a good choice for people looking to keep in touch with friends, family, or colleagues throughout the globe.
Pros: Free calls to Skype customers, plus flat-rate plan available to call any phone in the U.S. or Canada; built-in toolbar lets you easily place calls to numbers/names found in Web pages
Cons: Limited quality/quantity of Skype Extras; SkypeCast sound quality wasn't very good

Andrew Luck announces shocking retirement
by Alyssa Little	- at August 26, 2019
Coach Frank Reich had said he hoped to have an answer about Luck's availability for the September 8 season opener after the third preseason game. "But it is the right decision for me".
Colts fans and the rest of the National Football League hope that Luck will find it in himself to continue playing the game he has loved for so long. Photographers, including the AP's Michael Conroy and the Indy Star's Grace Hollars, captured Luck's challenging moment. The reaction for Luck, though, has been overwhelmingly positive - particularly from much of the media, which is admonishing Colts fans for booing Luck as he walked off the field Saturday night.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't hear the reaction", he said.
With Luck dealing with a variety of injuries in 2017, Brissett started 15 games for Indy, throwing for 3,098 yards, with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Brissett will now permanently replace Luck as the Colts quarterback.
Basketball fans slam seating for Australian Boomers game against Team USA
But, even with only two current All-Stars in the team - Kemba Walker and Khris Middleton - the USA team's class won out. Both teams were rusty in the opening quarter, which ended with the visitors holding a 22-20 lead.
When Ballard was hired as general manager after the 2016 season, he praised Luck's skills but made sure to point out that one player does not make a football team. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback admitted retirement isn't what he planned. We do wish him the best in his future endeavors.
"Diligent, sharp, loves football", Luck said about Brissett. Jacoby Brissett is good, but he's not great. Andrew Luck was a unique, unique player.
Despite being a fierce rival of the Titans and owning an 11-0 record against them all-time, you never want to see a player's career end in this manner. He is. He's a rare human being, man. He led the Colts to the 2014 AFC Championship game, where they lost to the New England Patriots.
But that mattered little to the Colts on a franchise-changing night.

"The study presents the development, implementation, and benchmarking of two auction-based decision making models in a distributed real-time control framework for random flexible manufacturing systems. The framework applies an auction mechanism for facilitating part allocation on machine tools based on an exchange economy. Two auction models have been implemented. The first model, Modified Sealed-Bid auction, is built on seal-bid auction with the addition of iterative behavior. Parts and machines are represented by agents. The fundamental motivation of each agent in the system is to increase the reward. The Modified Sealed-Bid auction model has been benchmarked against typical dispatching rules using simulation in order to evaluate its performance. The simulation results indicate that the framework outperforms the dispatching rules on most of the performance measures.
The second auction model is built on the ascending auction concept in which part agents alternately bid on preferred machines and compete on the basis of increasing price. Valuation function is used as a reward indication in order to facilitate the auction. The Ascending Auction model has also been tested using the same simulation model and the performance of the two auction models has been compared using additional production scenarios. Simulation results reveal that the performance patterns of the two auction models vary. Both models have different strengths and weaknesses under different production scenarios. In conclusion, both simulation studies indicate that the proposed auction-based models have proven to be effective decision making tools in distributed real-time control of random flexible manufacturing systems"--Abstract, page iii.

The Nykur of Sørvágsvatn, Faroe Islands
A NYKUR IS A MYTHICAL beast of Scandinavian folklore. It's often depicted as an aquatic monster that takes the shape of a gray, horse-like creature with inverted hoofs. The Nykur generally appears on the lakeshore, with half its body in the water, and looks to be quite tame to its unsuspecting victims.
The legendary Nykur (also known as the "Nix" in English) uses its beauty to lure passersby to pet and mount it, and once an unsuspecting man, woman, or child does so, the beast's "sticky skin" traps them in a terrifying barrel roll as it drags them down to the bottom of the lake to drown. This legend is mostly invoked by parents of small children, to scare them away from the edge of dangerous bodies of water.
The Nykur's one weakness is that if someone calls its name aloud, the creature will lose all of its power and retreat to the depths from which it came. And the Faroese legends say that once, a small child happened to see a Nykur roaming through the shallow water of Lake Sørvágsvatn while he was out playing. In awe of the creature's beauty, the child approached the Nykur. The child wanted his brother, Niklas, to see the pretty horse as well, so he called out to him. Since the child was still small and unable to speak properly, he accidentally shouted the word "Nykur" instead of "Niklas." Thus having spoken the creature's name, it lost all its power and returned to the deep cold waters of lake Sørvágsvatn to try its luck another day.
On the island of Vágar in the Faroe Islands, a silver statue of the mythical Nykur rises from the northern tip of Lake Sørvágsvatn. The statue was created by local artist Pól Skarðenni, and appeared in the waters of the lake in 2017. Nearby, a plaque tells the legend of this sinister beast.


On a mission… Stephanie has been on quite a journey in her life. Along the way she truly found herself through her art and her creative processes. She discovered parts of herself that she had never known,and became better acquainted with her artistic abilities and skills. In a world that can seem so black and white, so dualistic, right there was the gray, the middle ground. Finding that in her artwork and in herself has been an amazing yet arduous adventure.
Now many miles away from the streets of St. Louis where she came up, The San Francisco bay area is where Stephanie and her two lovely daughters call home. It is where she continues on her mission, to create beautiful artwork while staying true to herself, and remembering the journey that got her here.

We have been traveled to New Zealand from February 4th to 11th, where my sister-in-law's family moved. During the stay my friends Jeff Root & Lisa Salmon invited us to the dinner party at their house; we've enjoyed a lot there. Lisa and Jeff, thanks a lot!
New Zealand, which is famous for sheep (at least to me), was in summer season and the weather was very nice. It also has "one of the top 5 diving spots" named by the sea explorer Jacques Cousteau, Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve, but it didn't attract me enough due to lower water temperature. I'll be uploading some landside pictures when ready. In this article I'd like to report GSM roaming experiences there.
During the first part of the trip we stayed at Ocean Breeze Resort (vacation rental) in Pauanui, and then moved to central Auckland, Stamford Plaza Auckland. Ocean Breeze Resort was just completed in November last year and everything including furnitures looked like brand-new.
I borrowed Vodafone NZ prepaid SIM and refilled NZ$50 (approx. 3750 Japanese Yen), which I almost used up in one week because I had to make a lot of international calls. In addition to international roaming with Japanese SIMs, I also checked Vodafone Live! with the local prepaid SIM.
To take advantage of NTT DoCoMo's international roaming service "WORLD WING", you need to use a green FOMA SIM. It's roaming partner in New Zealand is Vodafone New Zealand, which is actually the only GSM operator in New Zealand. Making and receiving voice calls went OK as usual, no data or SMS supported.
Vodafone Japan's roaming parter in New Zealand is Vodafone New Zealand. Same as WORLD WING, there was no problem with voice calls, and GPRS was not supported. Since I had a local prepaid SIM I checked VGS roaming very briefly.
In Auckland and surrounding cities there were many Vodafone stores around and it was pretty easy to find "Vodafone refill card" sign anywhere in the city. When I asked for the refill card in one of such outlets, the storeowner told me that I don't necessarily have to buy a refill card just to refill the SIM - in fact, he refilled the SIM using a terminal device which looked like CAT (the one used for credit authorization) with my credit card. Later I also found that I could do that from my own phone... It was so convenient that I came to understand prepaid cellular is very popular there.
Vodafone Live! in New Zealand was pretty simple and it only had web-based email, some ring tones, news and weather forecasts. To use web mail, it required me to setup the account with the PC, which seems to target business customers. You can use Vodafone email address as well as your own POP3 account, but POP3 over GPRS using the mail client on the phone was unfortunately NOT allowed. The protocol might be restricted with GPRS... Non-Vodafone sites such as "Yahoo! Mobile" was accessible so I was able to watch news and weather.
This postpaid SIM is very convenient in that it doesn't require monthly payment but beware, airtime cost is very high. The issuing operator is O2, UK's leading operator, which has roaming agreements with wide range of worldwide operators. I would recommend keep this SIM in your travel kit, just in case. It worked with Vodafone New Zealand for voice calls. GPRS is not supported. This SIM is available at Mobell Communications in Japan.
In addition to Vodafone prepaid SIM I used this American GSM operator, T-MOBILE's postpaid SIM as a backup. As a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, T-MOBILE seems to have priority in GPRS roaming, which is why I still keep this contract. Actually I'm not traveling to the U.S. frequently these days. If you are visiting U.S. several times a year on business, this SIM will be the choice. Unfortunately Vodafone New Zealand didn't allowed GPRS roaming, but voice calls were OK. I especially like T-MOBILE's voicemail because of its fast-talking prompt messages.
# Japanese operators' voicemail prompts are too slow for daily use; don't you think so?
This SIM is available from Tsunami Net in Japan.

Ro-Na Theater
The Ro-Na Theater had its grand opening in 1949 with the film "Once More My Darling." The art-deco style theater was one of the finest in Ohio, with extras such as air-conditioning and lounges. It closed in 1978 and collected dust until it was given to the city in 2008. Since then, renovations have replaced the roof, repaired the marquee, and restored other original features. Today, the Ro-Na Cultural Center hosts events such as "Dr. DeKay's House of Screams" as a part of continuing fundraising efforts.

The Ro-Na Theater opened in 1949, coming in at a cost of $300,000. It was operated by Ro-Na Theatre, Inc. with Mrs. Ron Sexton as the president, James Richardson the vice president and manager, and James Kellogg as secretary and treasurer. The theater was rather luxurious for its time with air-conditioning, 1,000 cushioned seats, and carpeted aisles. Next-door was the Ro-Na Grill, and upstairs and downstairs were two lounges. The theater was decorated in the art-deco style featuring glass block columnns and neon lighting. Most notably, the lobby had murals with historical scenes from the Tri-State's history.
The Ro-Na Theater remained dormant after closing in 1973 until its owners, the Hampton family, donated the theater to the city in February 2008. By July, volunteer efforts to clean up the building had begun. One year later, the roof was replaced. The Ro-Na Restoration Committee continues to work on renovations today. When completed, the Ro-Na will boast an expanded stage, a professional kitchen, and more rehearsal and office space. The goal is for the Ro-Na Cultural Center to bring new performers and tourism to the area.

In a magnanimous gesture, Ornge, Ontario's not-for-profit medical transport company currently under investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police, has sold a motorcycle to fund the purchase of medical equipment.
Mired in controversy for its dubious disbursement of funds, Ornge recently auctioned off one of two custom motorcycles bearing the company's name. The custom bike, which was valued at $50k, was sold at auction to an unidentified buyer for $30k.
The second of the two OCC-built customs features a sidecar (pictured here) and is said to be in storage at OCC's manufacturing facility. Confusingly, Ornge claims that it's still owned by AgustaWestland even though both bikes were commissioned as promotional tools for the now defunct Ornge Foundation and were apparently gifted to the company.
Ornge has a growing history of questionable activities and expenditures including its former charitable division's use of a $50k speedboat to promote water sport safety. The expensive toy saw brief service before it was put in storage and eventually sold.

Ugly veg: supermarkets aren't the biggest food wasters – you are
"Ugly" or "wonky" veg were blamed for up to 40% of wasted fruit and vegetables in 2013, as produce was discarded for failing to meet retailer appearance standards.
About 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted worldwide every year and, of this, fruit and vegetables have the highest wastage rates of any food type.
But just how much of that is due to "ugly veg" being tossed by farms and supermarkets? The biggest culprit for food waste may be closer to home than we'd like to admit.
"Ugliness" is just one reason among many for why food is wasted at some point from farm to fork – there's also overproduction, improper storage and disease. But the problem of "wonky veg" caught the public's attention.
A report published in 2017 suggested that sales of "wonky veg" have risen in recent years as retailers have acknowledged the problem with wasting edible food, but it's estimated that up to 25% of apples, 20% of onions and 13% of potatoes grown in the UK are still wasted on cosmetic grounds.
'Wonky' carrots – still just as good as prettier produce.

Morrisons reported that consumers had begun to buy more misshapen food, whereas Sainsbury's and Tesco both report including "wonky veg" in their recipe boxes, juices, smoothies and soups.
Not all ugly veg is wasted at the retail point of the supply chain however. WRAP, a charity who have been working with governments on food waste since 2000, have investigated food waste on farms and their initial findings suggest a major cause of fruit waste is due to produce failing aesthetic standards. For example, strawberries are often discarded if they're the wrong size for supermarkets.
The National Farmers Union also reported in 2014 that around 20% of Gala apples were being wasted prior to leaving the farm gate as they weren't at least 50% red in colour.
Home is where the waste is
Attitudes seem to be changing on "ugly veg" at least. Morissons ran a campaign to promote its "ugly veg" produce aisle, and other supermarkets are stocking similar items. Despite this, household waste remains the biggest culprit for food waste in the UK. Just under 5m tonnes of food wasted in the UK occurs in households – a staggering 70% of all post-farm gate food waste.
A further million tonnes is wasted in the hospitality sector, with the latest government report blaming overly generous portion sizes. This suggests that perhaps – despite the best effort of campaigns such as Love Food Hate Waste – farms and retailers have been unfairly targeted by the "wonky veg" campaigns at the expense of focusing on where food waste really hits home. The 2013 Global Food Security Report put the figure for household and hospitality waste at 50% of total UK food waste.
There are some signs we're getting better at least. WRAP's 2015 research showed that, at the household level, people now waste 1m tonnes of food per year less than they did in 2007. This is a staggering £3.4 billion per year saved simply by throwing less edible produce away.
Could growing more food at home help cut household food waste?

As climate change and its influence on extreme weather intensifies, reducing waste from precious food harvests will only become more important. Knowing exactly where the majority of waste occurs, rather than focusing too much on "wonky veg" in farms and supermarkets, is an important step towards making sure everyone has enough affordable and nutritious food to live on.
During the UK's "Dig for Victory" campaign in World War II, a large proportion of the population had to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Now the majority of people live in cities and towns – typically detached from primary food production. In the UK, the MYHarvest project has started to uncover how much "own-growing" contributes to the national diet and it seems demand for land to grow-your-own is increasing.
Research in Italy and Germany found that people who grow their own food waste the least. One way to fight food waste at home then – whether for "wonky" fruit and vegetables or otherwise – may be to replace the farm-to-fork supply chain with a garden-to-plate approach.
