i have owned many different devices, but have never tried out a nokia communicator; after reading bargainpda.com's review of the nokia 9300 smartphone, i am quite interested. this clamshell device runs symbian series 80 and has quite a large display and 58-key qwerty keyboard. wi-fi is not included, but the device does support edge and has a bluetooth radio. the 9300 comes with a very full software suite, including opera, an office application suite, e-mail application, and pim software. i have been using my nokia 7610 series 60 device more and more, and i am enjoying the symbian os experience so much i would like to try a series 80 device. the 9300 runs about us$600 so i won't be jumping on it right away, but i will keep my eye out for other reviews as the device gets into more hands.
the 9500 is way better, nicer keyboard, nicer keypad, bigger screen and the novelty camera. best of all it has wi-fi. also you can get either all black or all silver covers for it too so you can even change it, unlike the previous two generations. 9300 is nice, but anyone who'll seriously use their communicator as a real business machine should go for the 9500.
…but the reviewer should have spent more time learning have the ui works. one important thing he obviously must have overseen is the menu button. this button works in all applications providing the user with a top bar with drop down lists full of options. so to get things like the web browser to work in full screen, one simply presses the menu button and enables the option. another great feature of the series 80 ui is the use of keyboard shortcuts for practically everything. to get a full screen view for instance one simply presses ctrl + t.
i love my old revo and a nokia communicator is just a device to replace it!

Tony Award-winner "Red" opens PlayMakers season Sept. 19
PlayMakers Repertory Company, the professional theater in residence at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, kicks off its new Mainstage Season Sept. 19-Oct. 7 with John Logan's Tony Award-winning play "Red."
As PlayMakers' hit play "Opus" (2009) took audiences behind the music of a world famous string quartet, "Red" goes into the studio of Mark Rothko, pioneer of abstract expressionism, and into the mind of an artist wrestling with the eternal struggle between art and commerce. Seen through the eyes of his young, increasingly challenging assistant, Rothko agonizes over a lucrative project painting murals for the then-new Four Seasons Restaurant.
"Red" was nominated for seven Tony Awards in 2010, winning six including the top award for "Best Play." It was also honored with the Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Play and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, among other accolades.
Variety reported that "Logan sends American painter Mark Rothko into battle with his demons in this electrifying play of ideas, and the artist's howls are pure music." The Washington Post described the play as having "spiritual intensity and an almost sexual energy… {showing}the artist consumed by the physical demands of his work."
PlayMakers producing artistic director Joseph Haj said, "This play is a fantastic look at an artist at work in his studio, and a story that explores the teacher/student, mentor/mentee relationship. We're thrilled to have Vivienne Benesch back with us this year to direct this much admired play."
In the role of Rothko, PlayMakers' production features Stephen Caffrey, an accomplished stage actor, who has appeared in theaters across the country, including several times at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Caffrey has appeared in many TV series, including "Tour of Duty," as a series regular, "CSI Miami," "Columbo," "Seinfeld" and "Murder She Wrote," among others. His movies include "Cinema Verite" for HBO, "Longtime Companion" and the upcoming film "Lucky Stiff."
Actor-director-producer Benesch will direct the PlayMakers production. She has worked extensively on and Off Broadway, in film and television, and at many of the country's most eminent theaters. Benesch is artistic director of the Chautauqua Theater Company and Conservatory in New York. She has directed many productions for Chautauqua and is a frequent director at The Juilliard School. Benesch directed "In the Next Room (or the vibrator play)" at PlayMakers last season and is a lecturer this year in UNC's department of dramatic art.
All performances of "Red" will be in the Paul Green Theatre at UNC's Center for Dramatic Art on Country Club Road.
Show times will be 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, and 2 p.m. Sundays. For a complete schedule, more information and to purchase tickets, call (919) 962-PLAY (7529) or visit www.playmakersrep.org. Tickets are $15 to $50.
In conjunction with "Red," PlayMakers will host "The Vision Series-Directors in Conversation," a behind-the-scenes preview with Vivienne Benesch at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 12. Theatre-goers and others interested in the creative process are invited to the Paul Green Theatre to share coffee and hors d'oeuvres provided by series sponsor Jujube Restaurant, learn about the production and get a behind-the-scenes look at the design and vision for the show. Emily Kass, director of the Ackland Art Museum and an expert on mid-century art and the work of Mark Rothko, will also speak.
"The Vision Series" is free and open to the public. Reservations are encouraged, as space is limited. Call PlayMakers' box office at 919.962.7529 to RSVP.
Other special events during "Red" will include:
Sept. 10, 7 p.m.: an "In the Wings" discussion with the creative team at the Durham County Library's Main Library, 300 N. Roxboro St., downtown Durham;
Sept. 17, 6 p.m.: a program with the director and company members at McIntyre's Books in Fearrington Village, Pittsboro;
Sept. 19-21, 7:30 p.m.: preview performances;
Sept. 22, 7:30 p.m.: the opening night performance, with a complimentary gala party afterward;
Sept. 29, 2 p.m.: open captioned performance;
Sept. 26 and 30: free post-show discussions with the creative team;
Oct. 2: an all-access performance for attendees with special needs, with sign language interpretation and audio description; and
Oct. 6 and 7: free post-show "Mindplay" discussions sponsored by the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Society.
Carolina Meadows and Counter Culture Coffee are co-producing sponsors for "Red."
During its 2012-13 Mainstage Season, PlayMakers will also present a specially commissioned world premiere adaptation of Moliere's "Imaginary Invalid" (Oct. 24-Nov. 11); the holiday classic "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" (Nov. 28-Dec. 16); plus Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" and 2012 Tony Award-winner "Clybourne Park" (performed in rotating repertory Jan. 26-March 3). The season ends with the dazzling hit musical "Cabaret" (April 3-21).
PlayMakers is based in UNC's College of Arts and Sciences. The Drama League has named PlayMakers one of the "best regional theatre companies in America."

Glad they killed off Lori, the estrogen and drama was off the charts. Badass they had the kid do it.

Per the kid: It's interesting reading fan reactions bc, other than the mom, the kid was also one of the most hated characters for the past two seasons. I personally loathed every time he was on screen (that stands for most kid actors in most tv shows...Once Upon A Time). This season, bc they kept him quiet, I think they kept the hate down. I saw stated the other day that the creator of the comics and producer on the show said that the show really is about the kid so it seems like that is becoming more focused now, esp. w/ having him seeing terrible stuff (like, all in 5 min, his mom's vajayjay, helping dig a baby out of mom, then shooting her in the head).

Kinda underwhelmed by the comic TBH, kilroy, although I gotta admit I quit them quite early.
Crazy how much plot they're throwing out and things they're changing when they need to make it another nine but it seems they know where they want to go.
Maybe they hired new script-monkeys but they sure fixed the lack of pace from the second season. 's Been a while since I woke up early-ish on Mondays just to start downloading.
It'd help if she were an actual character.
Amen. Is it just me that wonders whatever happened to the father and his son from the series pilot?

Well, there was a big change. Glen Mazzara took over showrunner duties from Darabont. He worked on The Shield for a long time and I think he's bringing some of the pacing and storytelling from that into this.
Yes, always. That whole flirtation w/ him and Andrea ("Blondie") was icky.

I'd like to see the father and son return as well. Of course they are probably the only smart ones and holed up back at Rick's sheriff station. Which brings us to one of many plot holes:
Why the fuck did the group walk around like retards for 8 months, looking for a safe place, when Rick new he had a station full of supplies, easy to defend, etc..etc..? Fuck, Georgia isn't that big.
I digress though...Daryl, Merle and the Guv are the only characters worth a shit.
I actually totally forgot about the Sheriff's station, so good point. You're talking about the father and son from the very first episode?
I have a feeling the Gov'nah might end up being a bad dude... what's with the heads in the aquarium?
LechoZX wrote: I actually totally forgot about the Sheriff's station, so good point. You're talking about the father and son from the very first episode?

Meh....you gotta be a bad dude in situations like that. Shane was an overbearing bad dude. Rick is his opposite as a total beta feel good douche.
Merle, Daryl, Guv....they've all got a shady side, but it fits. I mean, barring getting to pick a squad of highly armed and horny as fuck babes to walk through the apocalypse with, that's who I'd want to roll with.

Three episodes to go. The phone call could make for a decent plot twist. Probably a call from some other government building but I can't imagine interactions with an outpost besides Woodbury happening soon.
Hopefully some of the group make contact with some people from Woodbury in the next episode. Too much time has been spent on Andrea in Woodbury without giving the governer much development. He is slightly deranged like most characters in a zombie apocalypse setting. Compared to what I have heard about him in the comics he's been mild so far.

Speculation has it that Michonne will be the connection b/w Woodbury and The Prison. I haven't read the comics, and prefer to be surprised by the series, so maybe it will happen. Curious to see what the 'experiment' mild-mannered creepy scientist guy is coming up w/.
The Andrea/Michonne storyline is still pretty boring w/ Merle and the Gov being the only interesting parts. Sure, shit is kinda weird around there Michonne, but so is being in a zombie apocalypse.

I'm not convinced she was in its belly. For your stated reason, and there is no way that bitch, especially concerned the size of her forehead alone, fit in the zombie belly.
I'm still waiting for her zombie to be found, but she's found some way to talk, and continue to be annoying. Hey, weirder shit has happened on tv.

Leave Glenn alone. He's one of the few Asian characters on tv that gets dialogue and sleeps w/ a non-Asian. Better than poor T-Dawg, who we only got to know as a character after he died and was easily replaced by T-Two as "black guy that shuts the gates".
Daryl's the man though. Even in that scene where he was holding the baby he was like a warrior king raising up a new child in his kingdom. Kinda waiting for him to go out hunting w/ the baby slung into his poncho.

Public Service Commission approves delay on National Grid price hike
Bills and other records spread out on the kitchen table. (AP Photo/Don Petersen)
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The Public Service Commission, which regulates utility suppliers in New York, approved a request on Wednesday made by National Grid to delay a price hike on their customers planned for April 1.
National Grid's electricity rate increase of nearly $90 million and gas rate increase of $21.5 million is pushed back to July 1, impacting roughly 2.25 million customers upstate. The utility will also keep benefits received by low-income customers at current levels while waiving certain fees.
For the sake of clarity, note that the postponement does not represent any discount. National Grid has received permission to reschedule its own planned price increase. The increase will still go into effect, but three-months later.

The Commission also approved an order allowing New York American Water to delay a previously-approved rate increase to September that affects customers in Washington, Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam, Westchester, and Nassau Counties.
The Department of Public Service says it will ask other utilities to consider postponing rate increases, although National Grid and NYAW were the only utilities with planned increases on April 1.
The State's other major utilities—Con Edison, Central Hudson, Orange and Rockland, New York State Electric and Gas, Rochester Gas and Electric, PSEG Long Island and National Fuel Gas—have suspended shut-offs for customers.

Mar 14 Biss Means Business In Race For Illinois Governor
by Sophie Lee
With a Kennedy and J.B. Pritzker, resident billionaire, in the race for Illinois governor, there did not seem to be room for any more hopeful Democratic candidates. Then came Daniel Biss. In a surprising turn of events, Biss has come out as a serious candidate for March's upcoming Democratic nominee. He's running his campaign on the premise that he is exactly what the other candidates are not. He is not a member of the one percent and he does not have a nationally recognizable last name. However, he is qualified, optimistic, and willing to breath fresh air into Illinois' historically dishonorable public office.
Biss began his professional career as a math professor at the University of Chicago. It was this position that initially brought him to Illinois. He was inspired by the young activists he saw on campus and this spirit of grassroots activism is what initially pushed him to become involved in politics. He served as an Illinois State Representative from 2008 to 2010 and joined the Illinois State Senate in 2012. He cites the surge of political activism following the election of Trump as his cause for deciding to run for gubernatorial office.
Jones College Prep, which is filled nearly to the brim with young activists, quickly began supporting Biss in his campaign efforts. A club formed to support the effort and Biss was invited to a town hall meeting at their school, open to all in the Chicago student community. The meeting was held on Feb. 23. Student volunteers were available to help kids register to vote and handed out Biss campaign stickers, signs, and pledges to vote Biss in the Primary. The event, which was expected to be moderately small based on the number of pull-out chairs available, was filled past max capacity. Students took to standing on the outskirts of the room or sitting on their friends' laps. Finally, in walked Biss himself and he was met with uproarious applause, clearly having already won over the hearts of young liberal voters.
After a short speech about his background as a candidate, he was asked about how he would encourage diversity through his potential new position. This led him to launch into a fairly hilarious retelling of Bruce Rauner's, sitting Illinois governor, poorly timed debacle with a diversity demonstration involving milk and chocolate syrup. To summarize, the demonstration ended with Rauner saying, "Mmm, diversity! It's good," into a mic. It was an awkward mistake that was quickly circulated through social media platforms. Biss, on the other hand, discussed diversity, gender, sexuality, and social class with great ease. He was clearly aware of his audience, frequently joking around and breaking down complicated economic policies, like the under-the-radar ways money is being removed from non-white communities and then relocated into richer white communities, in a way that made them easily accessible for the students in front of him. In under an hour, it was clear that Biss contained none of the impenetrable, out-of-touch distance that leads many political candidates to seem inaccessible to a younger demographic. Biss' hopeful, anti-establishment attitude is reminiscent of the spirit that got young voters to come out strong for Bernie Sanders in the last presidential election.
One of the first questions was unsurprisingly what Biss plans to do to fix the multitude of problems with Chicago public schools. He spoke about what many others have been pushing for some time now, calling the current system "profoundly broken." Biss wants to change how CPS is funded, moving away from funding based on property taxes and towards equal funding for every school, regardless of location. This would mean that every school, whether in a rich or poor neighborhood, would have the same number of resources put into it, a bold move towards better education for all Chicago kids. Biss also said that he wants the Chicago school board to be elected, instead of appointed by the mayor, allowing citizens to have more say about what is working and what is not.
Shortly after this conversation, someone raised her hand and brought the recent school shooting in Florida onto the table. Biss' eyebrows shot straight up at this and after a sigh he said, "Here's what is not working: a lot." Following a short round of applause for this statement, Biss went on to explain that he wants to enact state level licensing for stores that sell guns, allowing the state to put stores out of business if they are not following protocol, without having to go through ineffective federal legislation. He also wants to ban high capacity magazines and vows to pressure Illinois delegates to vote in favor of stricter gun laws at a federal level, should he win. Biss said that he believes in frequent interaction between state legislators within the Midwest. "We need to have give and take. We need to thrive together," said Biss. He pointed out that even if we make progress on issues like gun control inside Illinois, state borders are not impenetrable and we need to move forward as a region if we hope for real progressive change.
Several questions were then asked about the economic problems in Illinois, of which there are many. Given that Biss' background is in math, most of his answers, even ones not directly tied to the economy, circled back around to numbers and bottom lines. He explained that he wants to raise taxes on the wealthier classes, remove the mandatory flat income tax in our state constitution, and tax financial transactions to give money back to the state economy from the wealthiest corporations we house, to name a few of his proposals. The things Biss describes seem easy enough and many of them are ideas that have been circulating for years. So what gives him the ability to actually do these things when so many others have promised and then forgotten? Well, Biss said, "This campaign is designed to change what's possible."
Biss elaborated on this when asked about his competitor, J.B. Pritzker and the man's campaign of ads against him. Biss laughed at this question and then replied that Pritzker was simply "playing out of the billionaire playbook" by pouring money into criticizing the opponent as soon as the race got close. He went so far as to ask whether Pritzker would really be a credible candidate if he was not a billionaire. Biss pointed out that Pritzker's qualifications are similar to those of Rauner except for the fact that he is a Democrat. But is that really enough? If Democrats start handing elections over to the richest, most well known candidate, is that better? Especially since, as Biss pointed out, Democrats will run out of billionaires long before Republicans do. Biss said, "Are we going to say if you can't beat them join them or are we going to beat them. Are we going to have an election or are we going to have an auction?" Biss is the grassroots, out of the mold candidate in this race. He believes that if he wins, it will be heard around the country that Democrats don't need to "play the Republicans game" of buying office. He said, "We'll show that you can do it with people and compassion and values instead of just money and connections." It is arguable that Biss has already changed what is possible simply by getting this far, but seeing a win for him this March, and another when it comes time for the final gubernatorial election, would certainly be making a statement, not just for what Illinois' politics needs, but also what the country needs. The primary election will take place on March 20.

It was the Oxfam Trailwalker back in 2008 that set off Nikki Wynd's love for ultra running. She joined her local gym at the tender young age of 12 having always been quite an active child, and played state level tennis and basketball as a teenager.
She even threw in a marathon in her 20s, 'just for fun', but never really ran much after that.
Now 46, the Lysterfield (Vic) resident reveals that back in 2008 she participated in the Oxfam event with a group of her gym friends, and they all finished in 15 hours.
"Two years later, I did Oxfam again, and this is when I got competitive," she says.
For the past six months, Wynd has been working with coach Leigh Iacovangelo who has devised her current training plan based on an acute weekly load over a three-week progressive load formula, allowing her to increase by a certain percentage each week.
"There are no huge spikes or drops in training, with the highest weekly kilometres getting up to about 220kms," she reveals.
Wynd trains on a mix of road, track and trails, and schedules in two speed sessions per week as well as two strength and conditioning sessions in the gym.
Running between six and seven times per week, she qualified for the 2018 IAU 24hr Asia & Oceania Championships in Chinese Taipei by completing 214kms last year in Belfast at the 24hr World Championships.
Despite her racing experience and background, Wynd says she was still elated when she found out she was on the team.
"I was so excited when I got the call to say I was in the Australian team for Soochow," she says.
"To represent your country is a pretty special thing, and Soochow has been a huge goal race of mine for a few years now, so it's a dream come true to be running there this Saturday.
"I think everybody should have dreams and follow their goals, and never think you can't make an Australian team.
Wynd's advice to others in the ultra community is simple, but influential.
"Have a program, work hard, love what you do," she explains.
Wynd will be racing alongside her Australian team mates at the 2018 IAU 24hr Asia and Oceania Championships in Chinese Taipei the weekend of December 1-2.

I assure you that this is the best drug clinic ever.
I was bed ridden almost 14 years. My medication no longer worked. I was on heavy doses of methadone and also duragesic patches. I knew I had to do something soon because I was slowly hibernating and was practically on my death bed. I checked out several clinics -money was not a factor. But deceit is. Not only is this the lowest price clinic, it is a godsend. I got my life back. Most or all of my pain was rebound pain. To this day I am clean and sober. I finally saw the outside world and have so much energy. What I regret is not going sooner. My DR. had no intention of getting me off this medication. In twenty minutes I was totally detoxed. I made my mind up to fly up alone. PLEASE BELIEVE me, I am doing things and seeing things I never noticed before. One of the main reasons and also the most important thing is aftercare. They will stay with you-where other clinics will not. As a christian I ask you to please save your life. I have two children and they are shocked at all the things I do. Your nurse checks on you. Where other clinics you would have to beg for a motrin. AMEN I HAVE HAD NO PAIN. THEY WILL FORMULATE A NON OPIATE DAILY MEDICATION. These folks know what they are doing. I plan to fly back to personally thank the whole staff. Not only was I embarrassed to tell anyone I was on that high dose of methadone-which did not seem to make it through the month. If your counting pills the guilt and sickness when you are out of medication is horrible. I plan to advocate this clinic that gave me my life back. I have also made trusted friends that call for referrals. Most clinics do not offer that luxury. I BEG YOU TO GO AND BECOME ALIVE AGAIN. EVERY DAY IS PACKED WITH ACTIVITIES-WHERE BEFORE I WAS TO DRUGGED OUT TO EVEN DO ANYTHING.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT ME CALL THE CLINIC AND SPEAK TO JEANNE. SHE WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED ANSWERED.

The Uganda shilling surrendered some ground, trading weaker due to uptick in demand from energy, telecom and import sectors during the week ending 31st March 2017. Trading was in the range of 3610/3620.
In the fixed income market, Shs160billion was on offer.
Yields dropped on the 91 and 182 paper to 10.660% and 11.823%, while the yield on 364 day paper increased marginally to trade at 13.866%.
In international currency markets, the US dollar recovered from its previous losses on the back of renewed expectation for more interest rate hikes in the coming months.
The Sterling, meanwhile dipped as investors kept a closer look at the formalities of Brexit.
" The shilling forecast indicate that the unit could weaken marginally on account of seasonal dollar demand for corporate dividends more especially as we get into the last quarter of the fiscal year," Stephen Kaboyo, a market analyst and Managing Director at Alpha Capital Partners, says.

17 St. Louis History Museums Not to Miss
By David Lancaster
17 St. Louis History Museums Not to Miss By David Lancaster
From pre-Columbian mound-builders to the 1904 World's Fair, these St. Louis museums offer a sweeping view of history
Field House Museum (©D. Lancaster)
Founded in 1764, St. Louis has a lot of history behind it, but of course a lot happened below the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers before St. Louis was established, and regional museums reflect the broad scope of that historical panorama.
Cahokia Mounds, the 2,200-acre state historic site just east of St. Louis, preserves the remains of the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico, including the 100-foot high Monks Mound. The outstanding interpretive center features an introductory film and exhibits on the civilization that flourished here and mysteriously vanished.
Before Thomas Jefferson considered purchasing the Louisiana Territory, Daniel Boone moved to the Femme Osage Valley just outside St. Louis in what was then a Spanish possession in 1799. He and his son, Nathan, built the house today known as the Daniel Boone Home in Defiance, Missouri, open for tours along with a pioneer village assembled from relocated vintage regional buildings.
The Louisiana Territory became a French possession in 1800, and in a head-spinning real estate deal in 1803, the 827,000-square-mile parcel was sold to the U.S. for $15 million. Plans to explore the new acquistion were immediately formulated by President Thomas Jefferson, who commissioned an expedition led by an aide, Meriwether Lewis, who promptly recruited William Clark his co-leader. The Corps of Discovery, as Lewis and Clark's exploratory contigent was called, camped near the mouth of the Missouri River in the winter of 1803, preparing for the long journey to the Pacific Ocean, an episode recounted fully at the Lewis & Clark State Historic Site near Hartford, Illinois. The museum also includes a complete chronicle of the expedition as well as a full-size replica of its keelboat.
Jefferson's legacy and the Westward expansion that funneled through St. Louis is quite literally symbolized by the Gateway Arch, whose completely reimagined museum considers the opening of the American West from a number of viewpoints (including displaced indigenous peoples) and gives new meaning to the term "Gateway to the West."
The brick residence housing the Thomas Sappington House Museum, built in 1808 by the son of George Washington's bodyguard, is an outstanding example of Federal architecture, rare in Missouri. Judged to be the oldest brick home in St. Louis County, the home includes furnishings from 1780-1830 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The complex includes the Library of Americana and Decorative Arts, the Loft Gift Shop and The Barn Restaurant.
Located on the campus of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, St. Louis Mercantile Library, the oldest library west of the Mississippi (1846), concentrates on the Western Expansion engendered by the Lewis & Clark expedition, Native Americans and the history of the St. Louis region and American rail and river transportation through its collection of books, prints, photographs, documents, newspapers, tapes, films, maps and a significant collection of artwork.
In 1821, Missouri became the nation's 24th state, with a temporary capital in St. Charles, just up the Missouri River from St. Louis. The buildings of Missouri's First State Capitol have been restored and furnished as they appeared in 1821-26, when the newly formed Missouri state legislature met in what is now the St. Charles Main St. historic district, and are open for tours.
Missouri played a pivotal role in the events leading to the Civil War. The Old Courthouse, Griot Museum of Black History and Field House Museum all tell the story of the slave Dred Scott, who sued for his freedom (originally at the Old Courthouse) and was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court, whose Dred Scott Decision helped foment the Civil War. Missouri's complicated involvement in the conflict is meticulously chronicled at the Missouri Civil War Museum at Jefferson Barracks Park. The general credited with defeating the South is remembered and celebrated at the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site at Whitehaven, the home in south St. Louis County where Grant lived off and on during his adult life. The grounds include five carefully restored historic structures and a Visitor's Center.
Newly emancipated slaves and their descendants lost no time in making significant contributions to the nation's culture. Scott Joplin, born just after the Civil War, popularized the musical form known as ragtime, and wrote 44 ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet and two operas. His life and work are chronicled in the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site, a National Historic Landmark and the only building in existence where the ragtime king is known to have composed some of his famous melodies. Downstairs museum traces the composer's life and career; upstairs apartment has been furnished to reflect the period. The musical influence of African Americans is further celebrated at the National Blues Museum. The downtown complex contains 16,000 square feet of interactive exhibition space tracing the history and world-wide impact of the blues, a 100-seat theater, a calendar of public programming, a record-your-original-blues-riff interactive element and traveling exhibits.
African American involvement in World Wars I and II contributed mightily to the growing Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and '60s. Soldiers Memorial Military Museum honors military service members, veterans and their families in the thoroughly revitalized facility downtown, whose four exterior heroic equestrian sculptures by Walter Hancock rank among downtown's best public art. The forces against segregation unleashed by the world wars resulted, among other things, in the integration of major league baseball, a chapter fully documented in the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum in Ballpark Village.
The entire cavalcade of St. Louis history is illuminated at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park. The three-level institution includes permanent and temporary exhibits on St. Louis and regional history, including the 1904 World's Fair, The Muny outdoor musical theater (100 years old), the St. Louis Rogues' Gallery, and Panoramas of the City.

Three Ways Companies Can Confront AI Risks
McKinsey research authors have devised three core risk mitigation strategies for artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can do wonders in the scientific and business world. Yet, organizations are extremely wary when it comes to its actual implementation of the technology. That's because AI is a relatively new force in business and few leaders have had the opportunity to hone their skills in this advanced analytics. AI risks can lead to disastrous repercussions—including the loss of human life. It can result in significant challenges for organizations, from reputational damage and revenue losses to diminished public trust.
Researchers at McKinsey have recommended a number of ways companies can mitigate risk when applying AI practices. However, before leveraging AI, it is vital to understand the risks and the drivers behind it.
In the report called Confronting the risks of artificial intelligence, McKinsey Global Institute authors suggest that by 2030, AI could deliver an additional global economic output of $USD13 trillion per year. While highlighting that AI can improve lives and add business value in many ways, they caution the adverse effects of the technology.
What gives rise to AI risks
McKinsey research describes five main things that can give rise to AI risks. The first three — data difficulties, technology troubles, and security snags — are related to what might be termed enablers of AI. The final two are linked with the algorithms and human-machine interactions that are central to the operation of the AI itself.
Many organizations find themselves inundated by the increased amount of unstructured data collected from the web, social media, mobile devices, sensors, and the Internet of Things. Data difficulties can arise when sensitive information hidden among anonymous data is revealed. This can happen in a medical context, where a patient's name might be redacted from one section of a medical record that is used by an AI system, could be present in the doctor's notes section of the patient record. In this situation business leaders need to to stay in line with privacy rules, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and otherwise manage reputation risk.
Another risk to organizations is technology and process issues across the entire operating landscape that negatively impact the performance of AI systems. This happens when data inputs fail or are impeded on causing AI systems to produce erroneous outputs. For example, one major financial institution ran into trouble after its compliance software was unable to spot trading issues because the data feeds no longer included all customer trades.
Security is an emerging risk in which cyber-criminals exploit seemingly non-sensitive marketing, health, and financial data that companies collect to fuel AI systems. McKinsey cautions that when security precautions are insufficient, it's possible to stitch these threads together to create false identities. Although target companies — that may otherwise be highly effective at safeguarding personally identifiable information — are unwitting accomplices, they still could experience consumer backlash and regulatory repercussions.
Two significant risks that are inherent in the operation of AI itself have incorrectly formulated models and the problems that arise when humans and machines interact.
Firstly, misbehaving AI models can create problems when they deliver biased results, become unstable, or yield conclusions for which there is no actionable recourse for those affected by its decisions. This can happen, for example, if a population is underrepresented in the data used to train the model. This potentially results in AI models discriminating unintentionally against disadvantaged groups by weaving together postcodes and income data to create targeted offerings.
Secondly, the McKinsey research identified the interface between people and machines are another critical risk area. In the data-analytics organisation, scripting errors, lapses in data management, and misinformation in model-training data easily can compromise fairness, privacy, security, safety, and compliance.
The research highlights that accidents and injuries are possibilities if operators of heavy equipment, vehicles, or other machinery don't recognize when systems should be overruled or are slow to override them because the operator's attention is elsewhere — a distinct possibility in applications such as self-driving cars.
Moreover, these are just the unintended consequences — without rigorous safeguards, disgruntled employees or external foes may be able to corrupt algorithms or use an AI application in every unethical ways, McKinsey warns.
AI Risk Management: Three Core Principles
Understanding the five risks above are useful for identifying and prioritizing them and their root causes. The McKinsey researchers said if a firm knows where threats may be lurking, ill-understood, or simply unidentified, it will have a higher chance mitigating them. The report also found that as the costs of risks associated with AI rise, the ability both to assess those risks and to engage workers at all levels in defining and implementing controls will become a new source of competitive advantage. Below are three core risk mitigation strategies devised by McKinsey.
Clarity: Use A Structured Identification Approach To Pinpoint The Most Critical Risks
The McKinsey researcher's first core principle is to gain clarity in identifying the most essential AI risk within an organisation. They suggest gathering a diverse cross-section of managers focused on pinpointing and tiering problematic scenarios. This is a good way both to stimulate creative energy and to reduce the risk that narrow specialists or blinkered thinking will miss significant vulnerabilities.
This structured risk-identification process can clarify the most worrisome scenarios, and allow a firm to prioritise the risks encompassed, to recognize the controls that are missing, and to marshal time and resources accordingly.
The report notes that organisations need not start from scratch with this effort. Over the past few years, risk identification has become a well-developed practice, and it can be adapted with the intent to be directly deployed in the context of AI.
Breadth: Institute Robust Enterprise-Wide Controls
The McKinsey researchers noted that it is crucial for an organisation to conduct a gap analysis, identifying areas in an existing risk-management framework that needs to be deepened, redefined, or extended. This will allow a company to apply company-wide controls to guide the development and use of AI systems, ensure proper oversight, and put into place strong policies, procedures, worker training, and contingency plans. Without broad-based efforts, the odds rise that risk factors such as the five described previously will fall through the cracks.
Nuance: Reinforce Specific Controls Depending On The Nature Of The Risk
As crucial as enterprise-wide controls are, according to McKinsey they are rarely sufficient to counteract every possible hazard. Another level of rigor and nuance is often needed the research said. Organizations will need a mix of risk-specific controls, and they are best served to implement them by creating protocols that ensure they are in place, and followed, throughout the AI-development process.
The requisite controls will depend on factors such as the complexity of the algorithms, their data requirements, the nature of human-to-machine (or machine-to-machine) interaction, the potential for exploitation by bad actors, and the extent to which AI is embedded into a business process.
The authors of the report stated that conceptual controls, starting with a use-case charter, sometimes are necessary. This holds true for specific data and analytics controls, including transparency requirements, as well as controls for feedback and monitoring, such as performance analysis to detect degradation or bias, they concluded.

GSI Analysis: 25% of NJ Public Employee Pensions paid to out of state residents, far Above U.S. Rate of 10%
Public Spending, GOVERNMENT THAT WORKS
by William J. Smith, GSI's Director of Communications & Media Relations
Are New Jersey's public employee retirees remaining in-state or leaving for a more tax-friendly retirement?
That's the question we asked after a recent news report from Illinois found that 71,000 retired public employee pensioners, roughly 18%, were collecting their benefits, totaling $2.4 billion annually, out of state. Tax-friendly Florida and Arizona, along with neighboring Wisconsin were the top destinations. The news report cited a National League of Cities analysis that found 90% of the nation's public pensioners remain in the state in which they finished their career before retirement.
Through an Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request to New Jersey's Department of the Treasury, Garden State Initiative decided to take a look at public employee pension data for the state's ten defined-benefit programs to see where New Jersey's pension payments were headed.
Our analysis found that this year nearly $2.6 billion in pension payments, almost 25% of all payments, will be headed out of state, two and a half times the national rate.
As of July 1, 2019, a total of 332,556 retirees were collecting pension payments from the state, with monthly payments totaling nearly $950 million, or over $11 billion annually.
While 251,278, or 75%, of payments went to New Jersey residents, the other quarter was headed out of state, another indicator of NJ's unaffordability. Our analysis of July's payments found that over 80,000 of New Jersey's retired public employees have relocated out of state, collecting over $215 million in monthly pension payments. Annually that represents a transfer of $2.6 billion out of the Garden State's economy.
The personal finance website Bankrate.com ranked New Jersey 48th when it comes to affordability for retirees. New Jersey's tax laws present an all-or-nothing proposition for retirees. Retirement income under $100,000 is excluded from taxation, but report income of $100,000 or more and all of your retirement income is taxed at the normal rate. And we don't need to tell you how New Jersey's sky-high property taxes impact those on fixed incomes.
So where are those retirees heading? The top five destinations accounted for more than 55,000 pensioners collecting $153 million in July alone.
The top recipient was the Sun Belt state of Florida, where 25,000 checks, totaling over $70 million in July alone, were headed. Of course, Florida famously has no state income tax.
Next on the list was Pennsylvania, far from the Sun Belt, which received over 15,000 retiree deposits in July. Our neighbor to the west does not tax retirement income, including pensions.
We then found that many New Jersey retirees were heading down I-95 to North Carolina, which taxes retirement income at the flat income tax rate of 5.499%, but enjoys a far lower cost of living. Over 6,200 pension deposits were headed to the Tarheel State in July.
Many New Jersey retirees opted to travel a little further down I-95 to South Carolina, where over 5,000 retiree deposits were received. Although South Carolina does tax pension income as normal income, with a top rate of 7%, the state has a $15,000 deduction for seniors receiving retirement income and boasts some of the lowest property tax rates in the country.
Rounding out the Top 5 of retirement destinations for New Jersey's public employees was far from a warm weather retreat – New York. In July, nearly 4,000 Garden State retirees collected benefits across the Hudson River. Of note, income from retirement accounts or a private pension is deductible up to $20,000.
While some may debate which climate, financial or weather, drives retirement decisions, it is clear that a significantly higher percentage of public employee pension payments leave our state. Annually, nearly $2.6 billion that could be spent in New Jersey growing our economy and generating tax revenue through the purchase of goods and services are now being utilized elsewhere.

Saving Money / Savings Advice
51% of Us Want to Fix Our Finances in 2021 – Here Are America's Top Money Resolutions

It's that time of year when we raise glasses of bubbly and resolutions are bountiful. And this year – more than exercise, punctuality or other typical New Year's goals – we're dedicating ourselves to fixing our money woes. A full 51% of Americans are specifically making financial resolutions for 2021, according to a new survey from MagnifyMoney — up from 47% a year ago. Whether it's in spite of the pandemic or because of it, an entire nation is focusing on what's in their wallets.

Among those planning a 2021 money resolution, about half said they want to reduce debt or become debt-free, according to a MagnifyMoney survey. Here's the full list:
Reduce debt or becoming debt-free (50%)
Increase credit scores (46%)
Increase savings (45%)
Save for a specific purpose (38%)
Build an emergency fund (33%)
Stop living paycheck to paycheck (31%)
Get a higher paying job (29%)
Create a budget and stick to it (22%)
Donate more money to charity (13%)
Make Your Money Work for You
New year's resolution is to claim cashback on EVERYTHING. It's one of those things I always forget about, but it's essentially free money!
— Jatie (@intosilence_) December 28, 2020
Segments of the population most likely to set a financial goal include six-figure earners (67%), college graduates (64%), millennials (62%) and men (55%). Among the generation groups, millennials (24 to 39 year olds) have the highest percentage (62%) of Americans planning to set a financial resolution for the upcoming year, followed by Gen Zers (18 to 23) and Gen Xers (40 to 54) at 58% and 55%, respectively, and with just 21% of baby boomers (55 to 74).

Of course, the pandemic and its continued economic effects are on everyone's minds. According to the survey, 59% of those who will set a resolution cite the pandemic's ongoing financial impact as the top factor preventing them from achieving that goal. Other factors that might hinder the achievement of these financial resolutions include: emergency expenses that may come up (37%); not making enough money (22%); and inconsistent income (18%).
My New Year's resolution is to learn how to manage money and create new ideas which will make money work for me????????
— Simon _Says???????? (@Anthony_1876) December 24, 2020
According to the survey, Americans are optimistic about achieving their goals, with 48% of Americans thinking they're extremely likely to achieve their 2021 resolution, and 42% thinking they're somewhat likely. Interestingly, the survey notes the gender gap of this finding, with 60% of men saying they're extremely likely, while only 37% of women said the same.
The survey also notes that 62% of those who set a 2020 resolution had to change it because of the pandemic — in large part due to changes in their job status: whether due to lay offs or being furloughed, or because of reduced salary or hours.
On the other hand, the survey also notes that 43% said the pandemic helped their ability to achieve their 2020 resolutions by saving more money through reduced spending, economic impact payments and enhanced unemployment benefits.

The rise of 'silver cyclists' is being fueled by electric bicycles, research suggests.
62 per cent of e-bikes in the UK are sold to people over the age of 55, market research by Halfords has shown.
In a statement, the retailer said that the UK may be "on the cusp of an e-bike boom". Older cyclists are also well-informed on bicycle maintenance, repairing punctures and fixing mudguards, a survey by the store found.
Where the traditional bike can be strenuous, e-bikes have a built-in battery to help the rider on more difficult hills or terrain.
However, figures from abroad suggest that cyclists who try e-bikes later in life may be at increased risk of road accidents.
In the Netherlands, over-60s accounted for almost 90 per cent of road deaths involving e-bikes in 2016.
Halfords' survey reveals that while 61 per cent of older e-bike users thought they were a good way to keep fit, more than a third would cycle more if British roads had dedicated cycle lanes.


After eight long years of researching, developing relationships, fundraising, filming around the country, tears and laughter, witnessing pain and courage, years of editing, launching the film into festivals and community screenings, we are absolutely thrilled to announce BURIED ABOVE GROUND's national broadcast on PBS America ReFramed on WORLD Channel, Tuesday, June 28th at 8pm during National PTSD Awareness Month! We are so pleased to be a part of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning American Documentary family to bring our film into households around the country.
I was deeply moved listening to the #PTSDchat Talk Radio interview with Ben Selkow last night. The debth and breath of this film struck me as one of the most pain shaking, delicate, and sensitive research projects yet on post-traumatic stress. Taking over 6 years to direct and produce this documentary provides the viewer with a heart wrenching but hopeful journey of what we, as trauma survivors from different life experiences find a path of life-long healing. It is a very crooked road indeed that is navigated successfully but not without setbacks and adjustments, including new traumas along the way. Ben talks of discovering that post-trauma stress is not an individual matter because it affects the entire family and circle of loved ones in the trauma survivors' life. His conclusion is that we must see the larger societal and generational suffering that damages the very fabric and soul of our human experience, especially children and families. Once we become keenly aware of ourselves and others who struggle with the life long affects of experiencing severe trauma, we will ultimately break the cycle of pain. This hopeful message is very encouraging and shows that the good work and passion of so many will stop the stigma of mental health and help millions of families who suffer find a path to healing.

Two or more of the following symptoms can emerge in young children who experience traumatic and toxic circumstances.
I'm asked often why I worry about babies and younger children the most when thinking, talking and writing about post-traumatic stress (PTS) and the toxic circumstances that often go with a family who suffers from PTS. These are typically families with parents who served in hard combat as warriors and come home with the nagging symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger that affects the entire family, especially kids. I have taken the opportunity in this blog post to help answer this most important question with the goal to educate parents, teachers, mentors, and loved ones to be particularly sensitive to young children age 6 and under. These are the little ones impacted the most. This is the time of a child's life when parents, teachers and loved ones who care for children can make a big difference in mitigating the potential long term emotional damage caused by PTS.
I started an exercise on a blank piece of paper keeping in mind the question, "why I worry about kids in toxic circumstances." I took a break after writing down about 35 "trigger" words that came to me from my own life experience. These are words that needed to be transformed from fear to constructive healing over the years…redefining myself in a more positive context. Then, I found the above link connected to trauma affected children age 6 and under. These are the little ones I worry about the most…they are completely at the mercy of the grown ups in a toxic world that is often not even remembered…I have significant memory loss from my childhood, but the feelings of fear of this time remain with me. I do have vague but painful memories of kindergarten and 1st grade. My memory then fades until around age 10. Most all the "trigger" words can be organized and connected to the narrative in this link. The bottom line in my journey of healing that pushes me forward with joy each day is forgiveness of self and others.
I worry the most about the babies, toddlers, preschoolers and K-1 kids who are damaged emotionally and must then face the real world for the first time with limited socialization. They are scared, very scared of themselves, others, and everything else they encounter. Kids like this (me during my early childhood) are on alert for danger and behave defensively. They are isolated, emotional, and often act out. The ability to focus and concentrate is difficult at best. There is little or no trust in adults. While other typical kids are laughing and playing and learning, trauma affected kids shy away and hide, minds wondering without self regulation or a positive structure… These kids most often feel detached and out of place with peers.
The "trigger" words caused me to drift back in time and remember how it felt as a kid…So I now worry about children in this way, especially if it is clear they are troubled little souls. I ask not what is wrong with these children, I ask what happened to them? There is much sadness in my heart when thinking of children who must endure and survive a toxic home culture.
My goal as a trauma survivor who has done significant research and writing on the topic of PTS, is to produce a trauma informed work book to serve as a lay persons reference guide for parents, teachers, and mentors. The process of developing a work book is at the beginning stage. I anticipate a hardcopy publication to be completed by the end of 1st quarter 2016. We adults must become trauma informed to be better equipped to help young children who have suffered from traumatic experiences. Our children represent the best hope for the future. It is during the younger years of a child when we have the best chance to mitigate the longer term emotional damage caused by exposure to traumatic circumstances.

Donate to Water Quality In Memory of Dr. Alexander & Dorothy Dodds
Your direct contribution to the Sylvia Lake Association Water Quality Committee will be made in memory of Dr. Alexander & Dorothy Dodds, who were icons of the lake community and committed members of our lake association. Throughout their lives, these wonderful individuals were interested and involved in issues pertaining to the water quality of our lake.
Adirondack Lake Assessment Project 2006-2012
The Adirondack Lake Assessment Program was a volunteer monitoring program established by the Residents' Committee to Protect the Adirondacks (RCPA) and the Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI). The program was established to help develop a current database of water quality in Adirondack lakes and ponds.
Converse Labs Water Testing
The laboratory's current owners purchased Watertown Dairy Lab in 1981 and operated under that name until 1986, at which time it was incorporated as Converse Laboratories Incorporated (CLI). During the early years, analytical capabilities consisted primarily of dairy testing with FDA and NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets approval.
In 1985, the laboratory's certifications and analytical capabilities expanded into drinking water, wastewater, and environmental analyses attaining approval from NYS Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP). The National Environmental Accreditation Conference (NELAC) has accredited CLI since 1999.
Water Testing Conclusions
You should NOT drink Sylvia Lake water without treating it for bacterial control.
Greater populations in bay areas seem to mean a higher coliform and fecal coliform count. These areas must carefully monitor their septic and wastewater. Areas of concern are Wintergreen Bay, Hotel Bay, the Public Beach Area, East Shore, and the West Shore between Robinson's Point and High Rock.
We can safely swim in all areas of our lake.
To enhance septic and wastewater management, do a self-analysis of your own septic and wastewater system.
Some questions to ask would be:
Do I know where my septic tank or leach field is? Do I know how old it is?
Do I have my holding tank pumped? How often?
Do I understand how my wastewater and septic system functions? How could I improve the systems?
Do I have any strange odors around my home or lakefront?
Let's keep our beautiful lake clean and healthy for future generations.
Water Level Maintenance
On April 27, 2021, Fish & Game Committee member, Bill Cook, spoke with Frank Benedetto, New York State, Department of Environment Conservation (DEC), (315-836-6470) to inquire about state or federal regulations impacting the control of natural lake levels. Mr. Benedetto referred me to a colleague in the NYS DEC, Water Resources and Watershed Management Division, Jessica Hart, (315-785-2246) with whom I had a follow-up discussion on April 28. Based upon my discussion with Ms. Hart, she shared the following information and insights:
Water body dams or impoundments of less than six feet in height are not regulated by the State or Federal Government.
Any established wetlands are governed by State and Federal regulations. NYS wetland regulations involve the control and maintenance of water level and flow. The federal government (US Army Corps of Engineers) is concerned with a variety of issues, but more specifically endangered species and development of wetlands and areas within flood plain boundaries.
All established wetlands in New York State are identified, mapped and monitored by NYS DEC. Detailed information on identified wetlands are highlighted and categorized on the NYS Environmental Resource Mapper (accessed via the NYSDEC homepage).
Any waterflow control measures (such as a dam, regardless of the size) that directly impact a downstream wetlands must be permitted by the DEC and have an approved Wetland Water Level Management Plan. The DEC has enforcement authority to ensure permit compliance.
I specifically characterized the Sylvia Lake outlet dam on the property of Empire State Mine, a subsidiary of Titan Mining Corporation, that the Fish and Game Committee has regulated/ managed for years (with the knowledge and blessing of the property owner). I also shared with Ms. Hart the lake level control challenges posed by downstream beaver activities.
Ms. Hart acknowledged that beaver activities are categorized as natural occurrences, of which, the DEC has no direct control measures or associated regulations.
I questioned her regarding the cascading effect that beavers have on upstream and downstream water bodies and land, and specifically whether beaver activity contributes to and/or establishes wetlands that come under the jurisdiction of the DEC. Ms. Hart's response was a definitive "no." In support of her answer, she stated that beaver activity typically cycles with availability of food sources. Accordingly, land that they flood is typically a temporary condition and not characterized as wetland. Landowners are authorized, with a DEC issued permit, to eradicate beavers to protect their property.
Based upon review of the NYS Environmental Resource Mapper, the lands downstream of the Sylvia Lake outlet dam are not an established wetland. Therefore, there is no NYS or federal regulation that governs the control of flow through the outlet dam. I confirmed this observation and conclusion with Ms. Hart.
Respectfully submitted, Bill Cook, 2021

with methods for manipulating data (Get,Save,Add etc).
Now there is a need to search by value from the inner map, not only by key (in this example SourceColumnName).
But the problem is memory usage, is that a waste of memory? But if I implement lookup by value, I'll lose the main advantage of dictionary.
The data stored in the dictionary is around 20 * 5k data in the inner map. Any suggestion how to design / refactor this class would be appreciated.
EDIT1: Micro optimisation post didn't resolved my problem. I work on project where optimisation is very important.
The type you're looking for is generally called a 'bidirectional dictionary'; I found a C# implementation in this Stack Overflow answer, but you're on the right track; you'll need two dictionaries, so memory usage will be higher. Whether this is worth the increase in performance you can only find out by testing and measuring.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged c# refactoring code-smell collections or ask your own question.

Shakespeare's Lascivious Lutes
July 11, 2020 by Lesley Truffle
'Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.'
Richard III by William Shakespeare.
I went to a girl's high school in Melbourne and was lucky to have a wonderful literature teacher in my final year. She was an intellectual who really knew how to lever Shakespeare off the page and into our devilish imaginations.
I well remember the night the whole Literature class went into the city to see a brilliant international cast perform Shakespeare's 'King Lear'. Oh my God, the swooning that went down when wicked, wicked Edmund was physically bound to the wheel of fortune. The wheel was a huge wooden prop that had already been used as both bed and table.
So there we had the very evil Edmund – the 'bastard son of Gloucester' – sweaty, shirtless, with muscular biceps and skimpy tights barely concealing his pronounced assets. We schoolgirls all morphed into Shakespeare groupies that night.
The actor playing Edmund – like the rest of the cast – was classically trained and he ripped through Shakespeare's rich prose, bringing it to life and effortlessly defying the shonky acoustics of the grand old theatre.
I was not the only young lady present who promptly shifted her loyalty to Edmund and dumped his kind, nice brother Edgar. We didn't give a damn that Edmund had already had his way with the cruel and capricious sisters, Goneril and Regan. Nor did we care that Edmund was playing them one off against the other. For having been introduced to Emily Bronte's, Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) a few of us had already developed a taste for bad boys.
Back in the 1600's Shakespeare had to please royalty, gentry, trade folk, the bourgeoisie and the groundlings; those who filled the standing room front of stage. While the upper classes expected to be stimulated intellectually by universal truths and allusions to historical events, the groundlings just wanted to have fun and be entertained. Romance and bawdy sexual references cut it with all factions and love, revenge and tragedy became dominant themes in Shakespeare's plays.
According to historians, if the groundlings got bored and out of hand, the actors would be given a verbal bollocking or else get pelted with rotten fruit and vegetables. Apparently the polite reverential clapping, common to contemporary Shakespearean theatre, was largely absent.
Shakespeare's plays have been successfully adapted to suit different audiences all over the world. The Bard was a prolific playwright and has been credited with 37 plays, numerous collaborations on other plays and about 154 sonnets. It's an astonishing feat that more than four hundred years later, Shakespeare's plays are still in demand.
Mind you, some historians dispute not only the number of works but whether the Bard actually wrote them. Various other playwrights have been put forward as contenders. But can the mystery ever be solved? And in the scheme of things, does it really matter?
Vive William Shakespeare!
