"White Christmas" movie trivia…
Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney in the 1954 film, "White Christmas"
Another holiday season…another scramble to find that elusive music that could potentially compel the spirit to emerge. With all that is going on in America at the moment, music can provide great solace, but Christmas music? I continue to be challenged by it. (How many times can you listen to Vince Guaraldi??)
So…a redux from last year is the trivia about the 1954 holiday classic "White Christmas." (The information comes from Regal Cinema).
Among the trivia listed, many obvious but welcome reminders:
For the song "Gee, I Wish I Was Back In The Army", there is the lyric, "Jolson, Hope And Benny all for free". This is a reference to three wartime entertainers: Al Jolson, Bob Hope and Jack Benny. The original words were "Crosby, Hope and Jolson all for free", but the lyric was changed because with Bing Crosby in the cast the original lyric would break the fourth wall.
A myth persists that all of Vera-Ellen's costumes, down to her robe and sleepwear, were designed to cover her neck, which had been damaged by anorexia.
The train scene had to be shot at Fox, the only studio to house a standing train set.
Many of Bob Wallace's more unusual turns of phrase were lifted straight from Bing Crosby's own speech patterns.
The song, "What Can You Do with a General?", which Leonard Maltin calls Irving Berlin's least memorable tune, was originally written for an unproduced project called "Stars on My Shoulders".
The song "Snow" was written by Irving Berlin many years before the film. It was originally called "Free," and included a different subject and lyrics. Berlin rewrote the song with a winter theme for White Christmas (1954).
Third of three films to feature Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas". The other two are Holiday Inn (1942) and Blue Skies (1946).
The photo that Vera-Ellen shows to Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye of her brother, Bennie, is actually a photo of Carl Switzer, known for his role as "Alfalfa" in Our Gang. Switzer also appeared in another classic Christmas film, It's a Wonderful Life (1946), as Donna Reed's suitor, who opens up the gym floor during the high school dance, sending everyone falling into the swimming pool underneath.
The TV camera in the Ed Harrison Show scene is a real one (a classic RCA monochrome), with a real call sign atop it. It is Channel 4, NBC's (and thus RCA's) flagship station in New York, which changed its call sign to WRCA-TV the year of the film's release. (They adopted their current WNBC-TV call sign in 1960.)
According to Rosemary Clooney, the "midnight snack" scene in which Bob Wallace expounds on his theory of what foods cause what dreams was almost entirely improvised.
The "Ed Harrison TV Show" that Bob appears on is a reference to The Ed Sullivan Show (1948), which featured known stars, new talent and vaudeville acts. Ed Harrison was played by Johnny Grant who did not have a long acting career in the movies, but was the honorary Mayor of Hollywood, California who officiated over the unveilings of Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame from the early 1960s until his death in 2008.
Vera-Ellen's singing voice was dubbed. Numerous sources mistakenly assume Rosemary Clooney sang Vera-Ellen' s part in "Sisters" thus duet-ing with herself, but Trudy Stevens (who was Trudy Stabile at the time) was Vera-Ellen's voice double in all of her songs, namely "Sisters", "Snow" and the "White Christmas" finale. Some Gloria Wood articles and album liner notes have mentioned through the years that she was the one who sang for Vera-Ellen, but although she was the initial choice for the job, Rosemary Clooney intervened to have her friend, Trudy Stevens, sing the role instead. Vera's own singing voice is heard ever very briefly singing in the "arrival in Pine Tree" scene at the railroad station where the quartet reprises – live – the opening lines of "Snow"
When Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) appears on the Ed Harrison TV show, he is briefly shown – as if the audience is watching him at home – on a 1950s television set. The brand of the television is DuMont, one of the first manufacturers of TVs in America and the name of TV network from the 1950s. Jackie Gleason, Morey Amsterdam and Bishop Fulton J. Sheen were some of the notables that began on the DuMont Network, which ceased operations in 1956.
Although this movie musical has been a beloved favorite for decades, especially at Christmas time, there has never been an official "original soundtrack" album released in any form. Decca controlled the soundtrack rights, but Rosemary Clooney was under exclusive contract to Columbia, who would not allow her to appear on a competing label. As a result, Decca and Columbia each released their own White Christmas albums in 1954, although neither is an official soundtrack. Decca's album featured the movie cast minus Rosemary Clooney, with Peggy Lee taking over Clooney's part, and singing her songs via overdubbing, a new technology in 1954. Columbia's album had Rosemary Clooney singing 8 songs from the film, including the song "Sisters," which Clooney recorded with her real-life sister, Betty Clooney. Both albums have been issued on CD in recent years.
Although the movie stars Bing Crosby and features songs by Irving Berlin, it is not a sequel to the earlier film, Holiday Inn (1942), as Crosby plays different characters in each movie (Jim Hardy in the first film; Bob Wallace in this one). Originally, the plan was to reunite Crosby with his Holiday Inn (1942) co-star, Fred Astaire, but Astaire turned it down, as he had temporarily "retired" at the time. Donald O'Connor was cast as Crosby's co-star, in what was hoped to be a reprise of his successful dance partnership with Vera-Ellen from Call Me Madam (1953). But while filming _Francis Joins the WACs_ (1954), O'Connor contracted a severe bout of Q-Fever from his co-star, Francis the Talking Mule, and had to pull out. Danny Kaye was cast as a last minute replacement.
The first film produced in Paramount's wide screen process "VistaVision".
Even though Betty was the elder of the Haynes sisters, Rosemary Clooney was actually seven years younger than Vera-Ellen in real life. Coincidentally, both Clooney and Vera-Ellen were from the Cincinnati, Ohio area.
Premiered at the famed Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
The musical stage adaptation premiered in San Francisco in 2004 followed by productions in Boston, Buffalo, Los Angeles, Detroit, Louisville and the United Kingdom. The Broadway production opened on November 23, 2008 at the Marquis Theater and ran for 53 performances earning two Tony Award nominations. The musical was revived at the Marquis Theater for the 2009 Christmas season.
Cast members Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney both have descendants in the Star Trek series. Bing's granddaughter Denise Crosby appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), while Clooney's son Miguel Ferrer appeared in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984).
This was 1954's most successful film. The second most successful was The Caine Mutiny (1954), which featured Rosemary Clooney's husband, José Ferrer.
Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney both died at the same age: 74.
One of the dancers accompanying Rosemary Clooney is George Chakiris. He went on to earn the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, as "Bernardo", in West Side Story (1961).
According to Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye's "Sisters" performance was not originally in the script. They were clowning around on the set, and director Michael Curtiz thought it was so funny that he decided to film it. In the scene, Crosby's laughs are genuine and unscripted, as he was unable to hold a straight face due to Kaye's comedic dancing. Clooney said the filmmakers had a better take where Crosby didn't laugh, but when they ran them both, people liked the laughing version better.
During the "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing" sequence Danny Kaye is wearing gray and Vera-Ellen is wearing pink. Pink and gray was the hot color combination in 1954.
In supplemental information on the DVD Rosemary Clooney revealed that 1. She took the role mostly so that she could perform with Bing Crosby. 2. Danny Kaye caused many retakes when his antics made everyone laugh when they weren't supposed to. 3. She considered "Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me" as "her" song since it was her only solo. 4. After the final shot they were informed that they would be redoing the finale because the King and Queen of Greece would be visiting the set and the producer wanted to "give them something to remember". They "reshot" the sequence with no film in the camera and without Bing Crosby who had skipped out to play golf. In later years she and Bing recorded several record albums together.
Percy Helton, who plays the railroad conductor, also appears in another holiday movie, playing the drunk Santa Claus at the beginning of Miracle on 34th Street (1947).
When Betty and Bob are at the bar for the "sandwich" scene, getting a midnight snack, Crosby says the menu is not the same as "Toots Shor's". Toots Shor's was a real restaurant at 51 W. 51st Street in New York. It was somewhat of a hangout for show business personalities.
Bob Fosse was the uncredited choreographer for the movie.
The Vermont inn is the remodeled Connecticut inn set from Bing Crosby's earlier movie Holiday Inn (1942). In White Christmas, the recycled hotel set is very gray, and appears not to have been repainted in new colors. Since Holiday Inn was a black & white film, the sets were probably originally painted in grayscale, as color palette schemes would have been a waste of resources in 1942.
In the movie, the four main characters take the train from Florida to Vermont, which in 1954 would have required changing trains in New York. This is alluded to during the "travel sequence," by showing stock footage of two different trains in subsequent shots. However, the trains seen in these shots in the film are both West Coast trains! The first train is the Santa Fe Railroad 'San Diegan' (note the palm trees in the background), followed by the Southern Pacific's 'Coast Mail', a local coach train. Neither railroad ran trains on the East Coast.
Just after Phil and Judy finish their dance number to "The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing," the house band in the club is playing a rendition of "Snow," the song that the group sings on the train.
Tunes from the previous Bing Crosby/Irving Berlin film, Holiday Inn (1942) are used throughout the movie. When Betty walks in the kitchen at the beginning of the "Midnight Snack" scene, Bing is playing part of the "Washington's Birthday" song from the previous film on the piano. Also, when Judy dances in her yellow dress, she is dancing to a fast-playing version of "Abraham," the Abraham Lincoln birthday song from the earlier film.
When General Waverly is preparing to "inspect the troops", the bugler sounds off with "Ruffles and Flourishes." This is traditionally played to announce the appearance of a flag officer (generals or admirals); the number of times it is repeated corresponds to the number of stars on the officer's collar. The bugler plays it twice, signifying General Waverly as a major general (two stars).
The hotel manager perusing the Haynes sisters is Sig Ruman who portrayed Sgt. Shultz in Stalag 17.
The film is neither a sequel to, nor a remake of, Holiday Inn (1942), a persistent myth that continues to this day. Aside from both films starring Bing Crosby and featuring Irving Berlin scores (most notably the chestnut "White Christmas"), the plots and characters' names are completely different. In the first film, Crosby and co-star Fred Astaire compete for the affections of the same woman (first Virginia Dale, then Marjorie Reynolds- although each woman eventually ends up with one of the men), while in the second film, Crosby and Danny Kaye fall for sisters Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen, and are paired off almost immediately. There is also no subplot of an inn open only during the holidays in White Christmas: it is one inn on the verge of bankruptcy, due to lack of customers and snow.
In Twelve O'Clock High (1949), Dean Jagger plays a World War I veteran retired Army officer who volunteers to return to active duty in World War II. In this film, Jagger plays a World War II veteran retired Army officer whose request to return to active duty at around the time of the Korean War is turned down.
Although Dean Jagger was made out to be the "old man", Bing Crosby was actually six months older than Dean in real life.

Q: Why does a VBA function does not work with PHP 7? I just upgraded my web application to PHP 5.XXX to PHP 7.4.28.
I solved most of the issues so far, but I've been stuck on a VBA (DCOM) function that apparently is not recognized anymore:
$myTable->Range->InsertBreak(8);
Where "8" means wdColumnBreak.
Could you please let me know if there is any alternative syntax to make this column break work correctly?
Any suggestions is really appreciated,
Thank you very much

A: The Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article states the following:

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side. If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.

I'd suggest choosing components designed for the server-side execution instead. Also you may take a look at the Open XML SDK if you deal with open XML documents only.

A: After struggling for a while, I could find the following solution:
$myNumber= new VARIANT(8, VT_I4);
$MyTable->Range->InsertBreak($myNumber);

Basically the parameter of the InsertBreak function must be treated as a variant, not as a numeric.
With this syntax, it works just fine.
I really wanted to share this solution because I don't like the approach "this technology is not recommended anymore, just go for the latest one"...
It's not always so simple to migrate to new technologies (without even having any guarantee about their reliability).
Cheers

The next [ava-based field to look at is created with the CFGRIDtag. The CFGRIDtag is used to create a grid control.or rows and columns, which resembles a spreadsheet or a word processor table.
Grids are ideally suited to displaying the results of a query because they enable the presentation of multiple fields from multiple records in a query. In addition, grids provide an easy way to enable the editing of multiple records from a database when used in conjunction with the CFGRIDUPDATE tag.
Figure 15.22 provides an example of a grid control.
You will consider each of these in turn and then look at additional features of grid controls such as those that control the appearance of elements in the grid .
The first step in using a grid control is to present query data in a useful way for browsing. When used in this way data in the grid an not be selected and when the form containing the grid is submitted no data is sent from the grid Held.
This is the ideal place to start working with grids because it enables you to learn the mechanics of building grids from your queries without having to deal with some of the complexities inherent in using grids for data selection an a editing.
The first thing you probably noticed in both grids is that the column headers are the names of the fields This can be less than ideal. For instance Last name and First name should appear as Last Name and First Name and Salary might be more descriptive as Monthly Salary.
Another problem with the salary grid is the way in which the numeric values in the salary column are displayed. Numeric values should be aligned to the right side of the column so that the digits align correctly. This is achieved by using the CFGRIDCOLUMN tag's DATAALIGNattribute, which can specify three possible alignments for the data in a column: Left, Cente r , and Right. The default alignment for a column is left aligned.
<CFGRIDCOLUMN NAMEz'Salary' HEADER-'Monthly Salary' ATAALIGN-'Right').
By default the rows of the grid reflect the order in which the records are returned in the query result set (in our case the query is ordered by employee ID number). However grids can dynamically sort presented data based on the data in any column. To enable this feature you need to enable sorting using the SORT attribute of the CFGRID tag. This attribute can be set to YES or NO (NOis the default value) and when set to YES causes ascending and descending sort buttons to be displayed as shown in Figure 15.26.
The next step is to click the appropriate sort button. For instance, to sort in descending order based on the data in the selected column, simply click the Z -> A button.
produces a grid with the custom sort buttons shown in Figure 15.28.
Single Allows selection of a single cell in the grid. Figure 15.29 shows a single cellbeing selected.
Column Allows selection of an entire column in the grid. Figure 15.30 shows a column being selected.
Row Allows selection of an entire row in the grid. Figure 15.31 shows a row being selected.
The CFGRIDtag for selecting entire rows requires the use of the SELECTMODER=o"w" attribute. When the form containing this type of selection grid is submitted, the selected data becomes accessible through form variables that reflect the column names from the grid. Each column's data for the selected record is reflected through the variable Form.GridName.ColumnName.
The last major application for grid controls is data editing. When using SELECTMODE= "Ed; t·,you can allow users to edit the contents of a displayed grid and then process the information after the form is submitted, either by reflecting the changes back into the database used to create the grid or by performing other relevant actions.
In addition to simply updating existing content, you can also allow users to add and delete rows from the grid and then have these changes reflected back to the database. The ability to add and delete rows is enabled by setting the INSERT and DELETE attributes to Yf S. By default they are NO. Setting these attributes to YES produces the results shown in Figure 15.33 with Insert and Delete buttons next to the sort buttons we discussed earlier.
When inserting a row it is inserted as the last row of the grid as shown in Figure 15.34.
Before looking at the process of moving user changes into the database you need to consider the issue of key values. In order for our different methods of moving changes into the database to work you need to be able to conclusively determine which record have been edited. The easiest way to do this is by being sure that you include the primary key of the table in question in your grid .
You included the primary key of your employee table in all the grid examples in this section. However there may be compelling reasons to prevent display of a column while still including the values in the grid and the data submitted with the form. This is: done by using the DISPLAY attribute of the CFGRID COLUMN tag. When the attribute is set to NO a column can be included in the grid but not displayed. By default the DISPLAY attribute is set to YES.
in producing your grid you can produce a grid with the ID column hidden like the one in Figure 15.36 but which includes the value of the ID fields from the database table.

Bring 1/2 cup of water to boil in a skillet. Add frozen green beans and boil for 3 minutes. Drain green beans in a colander. Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then dump the green beans back in the pan. Sprinkle garlic salt (1 teaspoon – add more to taste) over beans and saute for one minute. Season with salt and pepper.
*adjust cooking times if you like your veggies a little more or less crunchy.
What is your favorite quick and easy side?
I'm joining Southern Plate's Meal Plan Monday!
We love green beans so I'll have to give this a try. I've never seen Extra Fine green beans before so I will keep my eyes peeled for them. Your crab cakes look delicious!! I have pinned several recipes for them, but have yet to attempt making any.
I hope you are able to find those green beans – they are sooo good. I imagine this would work with fresh beans, but I haven't tried it. Those crab cakes were my personal best – not one fell apart in the pan! I think the key is making sure the meat is shredded really finely. Try them – they're so good!
This is great! I still have three bags of frozen beans that I put up last year. Thanks!
Oooh I bet this would be great with home grown beans!

Q: Entity framework core. Необходимо получить несколько объектов из бд, начиная от записи с выбранным Id Необходимо получить несколько записей из базы данных. Первичный ключ таблицы является строкой. Как мне получить определенное количество записей начиная со строки с выбранным идентификатором?

A: Вообще эта затея выглядит довольно сомнительной, так как непонятно, что значит "начиная со строки с выбранным идентификатором". Если вас интересуют именно строки, вставленные после строки с выбранным идентификатором, то проблема в том, что строковый первичный ключ не позволит определить, что вставлено раньше, а что позже за исключением случаев, когда в нём заложена дополнительная информация, например, он представляет собой строковое представление даты или целочисленного идентификатора (но тогда возникает вопрос, зачем вообще использовать строковый идентификатор, а не целочисленный).
Добиться поставленной задачи можно было бы если бы ваш первичный ключ имел целочисленный тип данных с модификатором IDENTITY, который гарантирует последовательное и автоматическое увеличение первичного ключа. Тогда всё можно было бы свести к простой конструкции вида
var data = MyContext.MyDbSet.Where(x => x.Id >= myId).Take(count);

которая преобразовалась бы в sql наподобие
SELECT TOP (count) [Columns]
FROM [dbo].[TableName] AS [Extent1]
WHERE [Extent1].[Id] >= myId

и вернула бы count строк, добавленных в таблицу после добавления строки с идентификатором myId. Вообще конечно вы можете использовать этот код и в вашем случае, но тогда он вернёт не строки, добавленные после строки с идентификатором myId, а строки, идентификатор которых больше или равен myId согласно способу сравнения строк.

Research Identifies Changes in Neural Circuits Underlying Self-Control During Adolescence
A study examining the relationship between structural and functional brain connectivity in 727 participants ages 8-23 years old revealed marked remodeling of structure-function coupling during youth.
The human brain is organized into circuits that develop from childhood through adulthood to support executive function–critical behaviors like self-control, decision making, and complex thought. These circuits are anchored by white matter pathways which coordinate the brain activity necessary for cognition. However, little research exists to explain how white matter matures to support activity that allows for improved executive function during adolescence–a period of rapid brain development.
Researchers from the Lifespan Brain Institute of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia applied tools from network science to identify how anatomical connections in the brain develop to support neural activity underlying these key areas. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"By charting brain development across childhood and adolescence, we can better understand how the brain supports executive function and self-control in both healthy kids and those with different mental health experiences," said the study's senior author Theodore Satterthwaite, MD, an assistant professor of Psychiatry at Penn. "Since abnormalities in developing brain connectivity and deficits in executive function are often linked to the emergence of mental illness during youth, our findings may help identify biomarkers of brain development that predict cognitive and clinical outcomes later in life."
In this study, the researchers mapped structure-function coupling–the degree to which a brain region's pattern of anatomical connections supports synchronized neural activity. This could be thought of like a highway, where the anatomical connections are the road and the functional connections are the traffic flowing along those roads. Researchers mapped and analyzed multi-modal neuroimaging data from 727 participants ages 8 to 23 years, and three major findings emerged.
First, the team found that regional variability in structure-function coupling was inversely related to the complexity of the function a given brain area is responsible for. Higher structure-function coupling was found in parts of the brain that are specialized for processing simple sensory information, like the visual system. In contrast, there was lower structure-function coupling in complex parts of the brain that are responsible for executive function and self-control, which require more abstract and flexible processing.
Results showed that structure-function coupling also aligned with known patterns of brain expansion over the course of primate evolution. Previous work comparing human, ape, and monkey brains has showed that sensory areas like the visual system are highly conserved across primate species and have not expanded much during recent evolution. In contrast, association areas of the brain, such as the prefrontal cortex, have expanded dramatically over the course of primate evolution. This expansion may have allowed for the emergence of uniquely complex human cognitive abilities. The team found that the brain areas which expanded rapidly during evolution had lower structure-function coupling, while simple sensory areas that have been conserved in recent evolution had higher structure-function coupling.
Researchers also found that structure-function coupling increased throughout childhood and adolescence in complex frontal brain regions. These are the same regions that tend to have lower baseline structure-function coupling, are expanded compared to monkeys, and are responsible for self-control. The prolonged development of structure-function coupling in these regions may allow for improved executive function and self-control that develops into adulthood. Indeed, the team found that higher structure-function coupling in the lateral prefrontal cortex–a complex brain area which plays important roles in self-control–was associated with better executive function.
"These results suggest that executive functions like impulse control–which can be particularly challenging for children and adolescents–rely in part on the prolonged development of structure-function coupling in complex brain areas like the prefrontal cortex," explained lead author Graham Baum, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, who was a Penn neuroscience PhD student during the time of the research. "This has important implications for understanding how brain circuits become specialized during development to support flexible and appropriate goal-oriented behavior."

Unclogging the Bog
Goats, sheep clear the way for endangered turtles
By Margaret Tearman
Drive north past Baltimore into Carroll County on Maryland Route 30, and you may rub your eyes and wonder if they're playing tricks on you. No, your imagination is not running wild. Those are goats and sheep grazing alongside the highway.
But they are not just any goats and sheep. They are state contractors, hired to mow the lawn — and save the turtles.
Several years back, the Maryland State Highway Administration purchased land along the old Hanover Pike, now known as Route 30, north of Reisterstown. The growing population in neighboring counties and commuters coming from southern Pennsylvania were clogging the route with traffic, especially where it crossed through the town of Hampstead.
To ease the congestion, Maryland planned to construct a 4.5-mile-long bypass around Hampstead. But early in the planning, state biologists discovered that tiny native bog turtles made their homes on the land to be paved.
Bog turtles are listed as threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act. The turtles are about four and half inches long, have dark bodies with bright yellow, orange or red blotches on their heads and live up to 30 years in calcium-rich wetlands, wet meadows and bogs.
Either the byway or the turtles had to go.
"We shifted the location of the highway to avoid the turtle habitat," says Maryland Highway Administration spokesman Charlie Gischlar. "We were able to preserve the bog, which is just beautiful."
The turtles were saved. But the bog itself needed some TLC to keep healthy.
"Invasive plant species, like the multiflora rose, were beginning to take over and threatened the bog," Gischlar explains. "We couldn't go in there with heavy machines to mow down or dig out the invasives. We would kill turtles, and the ruts left by the tires could alter the hydrology of the bog."
Pesticides were not an option.
So the biologists turned to conservation grazing, which employs goats and sheep to mow down the vegetation.
"They weigh a lot less than a man on a mowing machine. And they eat everything but the turtles," says Gischlar. "Those invasive plants are some of their favorite foods."
Last year the goats and sheep made their first pass on the bypass land.
"It was wildly successful," Gischlar says.
The entire bog area is fenced, both to keep goats and sheep on task and to keep the turtles from wandering out of the bog and onto the road.
The emission-free mowing is a two-year, $10,000 pilot program and part of Gov. Martin O'Malley's Smart, Green and Growing initiative. The cost of hiring the animals — roughly $5,000 a year — includes delivery of the sheep and goats to and from the project, supplemental feed and routine vet care. Conventional mowing of the approximately eight acres, including manpower, equipment, time — and repair to the bog — would cost significantly more.
The goats and sheep began munching in May and will continue until early September, when the growing season ends and the turtles go into hibernation.
The Hampstead bypass is located in a naturally rich environmental area that is home to more than the endangered bog turtles. Several native — and endangered — plant species grow there. Or try to.
"We're trying to do things to protect rare and threatened species in the bypass area," Gischlar told Bay Weekly. "We have put aside a hair over 250 acres to preserve and protect them from any future growth."
The bypass was completed about a year ago.
"We like to think of it as a green highway," Gischlar says. "Old Route 30, now Business Route 30, was choked by traffic, idling cars spewing emissions. Now much of that traffic has been diverted to the new bypass, reducing a lot of that idling. And we figured while we're here, we might as well work to preserve land and the species whose survival are dependent on it."
The Hampstead bypass preservation area includes nearly three acres where the State Highway Administration, in partnership with the Maryland Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation, is working to re-establish the American chestnut tree. The once prolific native tree was nearly wiped out in the 1950s by a chestnut blight.
In another section of the bypass, a field of white turtlehead plants is being cultivated. The native species are the main habitat on which the official state insect, the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly, depends for survival. Already, the checkerspot's numbers are diminishing due to loss of natural habitat. Biologists from the State Highway Administration hope the cultivated field will help support the butterfly's population.
The project has become a living classroom for Carroll County elementary school students. A fourth grade class from Sandymount Elementary School and the fifth grade classes from Hampstead Elementary held a contest to name each of the goats and sheep, now known as the Bypass Babies. This week, students will take a field trip to the preserved bog to learn from State Highway Administration and Department of Natural Resource biologists how the bog turtle survives and how to help conserve the threatened animal.
Gischlar hopes this bypass project will teach a new generation how roads and nature can coexist — and that future highways will play a role in the greening of Maryland.
"The kids are getting a good education on land use and how to protect the environment," Gischlar says. "As an added bonus, they get to see their named goats and sheep at work."

This NBA Era Is The Greatest Era Ever
The New NBA Era since 2010 has been one of the greatest eras ever and can't be duplicated. With record after record being broken you can only wonder if the future of the league will follow suit
We can dig deeper into NBA history and make a case that the accomplishments that have been done years ago still hold some solid weight to them. While that may be true, this new NBA era of basketball is one the most impressive eras we have ever seen. Records are being broken and new standards are being set.
Since 2010, 50 records have been broken and new records have been set. On the contrary, the league has changed drastically in many ways. Don't believe me? Let's take a dive back into our history books.
The Heatles
In the summer of 2010, LeBron took his talents to south beach to team up with all-stars Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade. What people may not realize is for the next three to four years teams had to adjust and build their rosters to contend with Miami as they became one of the more solidified big threes that kicked off the new decade. No disrespect to Boston's original big three, but they joined on the back end of their Prime which attests to their sole championship run in '08. This Heat team caused a lot of uproar around the league and posed many questions. It was the start of that 'superteam' era that either drove many of us away from the game or kept us entertained throughout the season.
MVP D.ROSE
In 2011, Derrick Rose became the youngest MVP in NBA history; something that would never happen back in the 70s, 80s, or 90s. Rose managed to lead Chicago to a one seed at 22 averaging 25 PPG and 7.7 APG while shooting 48% from the field. Ultimately, he turned into the biggest 'what if' in NBA history after going down with a season-ending injury in the first round of the playoffs. Things pan out in mysterious ways, but somehow Rose ended up on both the good and bad side of history in this nba era.
The Warriors 5-Out Offense
Draymond explained this the best on the "All The Smoke Podcast" when going into detail about how teams back in 2016-17 couldn't figure them out. But by the time 2018-19 came around, all these other teams were being built to beat them. When you really put it into perspective any franchise that has that much of an impact on the game has to be considered one of the greatest dynasties of all-time. The five-out offense was always there but it wasn't popular nor did it have the effect it has in today's game. The Warriors took this style of play and made it a trend globally.
This is still hurting the emphasis of the "big man" nowadays as it is more difficult to obtain a job if you're a traditional big and over 7-feet and taller. Guys like Dwight Howard, Javale McGee, and Timothy Mozgov struggle to find their identity in the league as teams were becoming successful at running smaller lineups. This nba era hasn't been easy for everyone.
The Emergence of Steph Curry
2009-CURRENT
From a coaching standpoint, I hate Steph Curry, but from a basketball fanatic, I love him. Trying to coach the younger generation while Curry has come up in the NBA is like pulling teeth. Curry is changing the narrative for guards in this nba era throughout the league.
It translated to everyone wanting to model their game after him and jack up threes from anywhere. Curry has made the three-ball an art. Before Curry, no one had the mindset and if they did, that type of playstyle was looked down upon. On a global aspect, Curry been an outlet to kids who aren't physically there. He has changed the way we think of the game of basketball, and he's put a struggling Warriors franchise on the map as they've been relevant for almost a decade now. All accomplished by a guy who came from Davidson where he received little to no college offers coming out of high school.
LeBron Breaking Records
Everywhere we look Bron is breaking a record or making history. Since '03 he's been consistently building up his career and padding his resume along the way. Many think LeBron is the greatest ever, and while in some cases that looks likely, he's in a league all on his own.
At 35, he's third in points all-time, 8th in assists, 13th in steals, and has never averaged under 20 points a game. When do we take a step back and analyze how great he is? Doesn't matter if you think he's the goat or not; LeBron is doing things in his career people dream of. The scariest part is he was able to withstand The Warriors, the Boston Big 3, and the gritty Spurs. Three different styles of basketball that he adapted to and ran them into the ground at one point in time. This era of basketball takes on a lot of heat by other eras, but there's no denying that this current era keeps on making history league-wide.

I don't know what to write, but I feel like I should write something.
The semester started the week before last, and the two classes I'm retaking this semester shouldn't be too challenging. I've taken them before, I basically know what's expected, and I know what my mistakes were last semester- I just have to get them done, and hopefully get good grades. We'll see how that goes.
I'm working on the job search front, but no progress yet.
Last weekend I made banana bread, and the recipe I found online called for all-purpose flour and vanilla extract. While making the banana bread, I realized that I didn't have vanilla extract or flour, and after "Googling" substitutes I found that rum, apparently, can be substituted for vanilla extract. Another thing that was mentioned was vanilla flavored soy milk, and I had vanilla almond milk, but since I had rum in my fridge I decided banana bread with rum sounded interesting.
I did have some gluten-free flour, but the recipe I was using called for 1.5 cups, and I only had about a cup of the gluten-free flour, so I decided to go ahead and make it. I thought the banana bread was good- you definitely can taste the alcohol, and I think the gluten-free flour also affects the flavor and texture.
I mention the banana bread because my ex hasn't contacted me yet, though I did ask her last week if she wanted any banana bread. I hadn't heard anything from her since early July. She said "No thanks", so I think that's her loss. Unfortunately, I keep thinking of things I could say to her, but if she didn't want banana bread, I doubt she'd want anything I'd offer her. I haven't asked, but there's always the possibility (though she didn't say anything about it last spring) that she didn't return for her final year of university, though I doubt that. It seems much more likely that she's simply uninterested in seeing me.
When I was thinking about writing this entry, I was thinking about how I could write a sad entry, or a more positive entry. The sad entry would have focused more on "I'm not actively trying to find someone through online dating", or something along those lines. "Sometimes I'm lonely because I have nobody to talk to and no friends," perhaps, to be overly honest? There are times, as I've probably written here before, that I do miss my ex, and always having someone to make plans with and do things with.
I've been thinking recently, for example, about how this is the first Labor Day weekend in several years that I don't have a girlfriend to make plans with. In the past, I remember my now-ex wanting to spend the weekend together, while this year I have a few days off work (always a plus), and at least I don't work on Labor Day, but I don't have a date, girlfriend, or any sort of romantic interest to make plans with.
However, I have been thinking about fun things I can do this weekend. I've already gone out to eat (yesterday) because I had agreed to meet a friend/former coworker for lunch, but then we had a miscommunication and I ended up eating tacos by myself and we had to reschedule for later today. So I'm going to get tacos 2 times in 1 weekend- definitely muy bien, haha. I could probably let him know that I already had tacos yesterday, but I kind of plan to drop it on him as soon as we're eating – I'm open to trying something different from the menu. Maybe I'll try a street taco or a burrito or something instead of the tacos I usually get at this restaurant, haha.
I've been thinking recently about how I should be working on my story ideas- it's been a little bit since I've worked on those, but if I could finish those I could actually work on whatever the next ideas/goals are. I've also thought about revisiting Duolingo – I know for a week or so I was actively using it every day, but then I stopped for some reason.
There are probably other things I could be doing- cleaning my apartment, laundry, dishes, and other boring stuff like that.
In other, more positive news that I was going to include under the "positive" entry, I've recently rediscovered several games from my Steam library. Not only have I resumed playing Stellaris for the first time in a month (I'm not sure why I didn't touch Stellaris for most of August), but I've also resumed playing Mount and Blade: Warband and last night I played Europa Universalis 4 for the first time since, if I remember correctly, December.
It's sort of weird thinking about the different scales- in Mount and Blade you have your band of, say, 3-50 people, then in Europa Universalis you have armies of thousands, and in Stellaris you're controlling not a band of medieval warriors or an Early Modern kingdom with thousands of soldiers, but the population of your "star nation" could number in the billions and your armies and fleets could consist of millions (or more), though in Stellaris that depends on your own personal headcanon more than a fixed number.
In other news, recently I've been working on Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder character ideas, because building characters is always fun. At one point a couple months ago I built a character that I thought might be interesting to integate into my post-apocalyptic Ozarks story idea, and in the last couple weeks I've been working on a specialist wizard (a female human evoker, specifically) and a (female half-elf) barbarian, which has been interesting. I haven't decided what character I'd like to do next- maybe ranger or sorceror or something. It would be nice if I had an opportunity to use some of these characters sooner, haha.
I'm having trouble thinking of anything else, so this seems like a good stopping point. I should resume writing here more often, for all the good that will do.

With its new national multiplex, Media Broadcast can offer a mix of Eureka-147 standards — DAB, DAB+ and T-DMB — supporting different bitrates and varying customer needs, as well as helping make the network future-proof.
The new network operates on VHF Channels 5A and 5C, with a small portion of the northeast using Channel 11B. Operating within the Channel 5 block is expected to provide greater coverage density more cost-effectively compared to current DAB services in the VHF Channel 12 block.
Media Broadcast is required to roll out at least 35 transmission sites by September 2011 with a final minimum of 110 sites by year-end 2015. By 2021, Media Broadcast projects to have 172 transmitters in place across Germany.
Costs are quoted in CU, a unit of bandwidth where 1 CU is approximately equivalent to a user data rate of 1.3 kbps. Each multiplex can offer a total of 864 CU, with about 56 CU being considered sufficient for a DAB+ audio program and associated data.
Costs rise from €1,042 per CU on 16 transmitters in the fourth quarter of 2010 to €21,412 per CU on 90 transmitters in 2015. By 2021 the cost per CU are projected as €35,648 on 172 transmitters. All prices are exclusive of VAT. Minimum contract terms are for 10 years.

Billie Jean King, Doctor of Laws
One day at the age of eleven you turned to your mother and, with racket in hand, said, "I'm going to be number one in the world." You had no way of knowing at that innocent age in how many ways that would become true. You were indeed ranked the world's number one women's tennis player five times based on thirty-nine Grand Slam titles in singles and doubles, including a record twenty of them at Wimbledon. But that turned out to be just the start. You practically invented women's professional sports. You were the first player to lobby for and obtain equal prize money for women. You were the force behind the launch of the Women's Tennis Association, the first female sports commissioner in history, and the first woman to have a major sports venue named after her. In 1973 in the Houston Astrodome you competed in and won one of the most watched sporting events in world history—the legendary Battle of the Sexes. Battling turns out to be what you do best, especially for the expansion of opportunities for women and the protection of gay and lesbian rights. No future history of the advancement of these issues in our time can be written without appreciating the contributions of the icon who went on from the age of eleven to not only be the best but do the best.
