What was your favorite scene in the whole movie and why? Favorite Song in the Film? Favorite performance scene?
My favorite scene was close to the end of the film, the fight in the recording studio. I thought all the actors really shined in that scene, especially Kristen. I especially loved it when the lighting changed and the camera was zoomed in on Kristen's face. The whole scene was just perfect to me.
My favorite song used in the film was Crimson and Clover. No special reason, I just love that song anyways and I thought it was a good song to end the film with.
My favorite performance in the movie was when Kristen and Dakota sand Dead End Justice. LOVED it.
My fav performance was Cherry bomb. I also loved DEJ!
I also loved the ending on the movie where the band breaks up & then Cherie hears Joan on the radio. That was so sweet.
I love the scene with Kim n Joan making up Cherry Bomb and then Kim trying to teach Cherie the song, and he's wearing like short shorts and a kitchen apron? Michael Shannon did such a good job as Kim.
and performance scene probably I Love Playin' With Fire cause heck did Kristen ever do a good job with that song or what?
You have no idea how upset I am that ILPWF wasn't on the soundtrack.
Hard to choose just one for each of these!
I have so many favorite scenes, but I guess my very favorite would be Kristen throwing stuff around in the recording studio. She was amazing in that scene and had such intensity.
My favorite song in the movie is also Crimson & Clover. I just really love that song!!
Favorite performance scene......I guess I'll say "I Love Playin With Fire" because I love that song and Kristen did a great job with it. After seeing the movie more times, my favorites might change, though..
Dead End Justice, hands down. I like got so excited when it started playing!
It was intense, sexual, interesting, and just soooo cool to watch. I wish they had acted it out too though; I really wanna see what they did on stage with it because it sounds so fun!
It would be ILPWF if it had been the entire song, because Kristen did so well, but it wasn't and that frustrated me more than engaged me.
I LOVE the songs in this film, but my favorites (aside from TR songs) were Wild One, I Wanna Be Your Dog, and Crimson and Clover.
Wild One PUMPS me up soooooo much! Like, I just wanna fight or something, that song gets me going man.
I Wanna Be Your Dog is like submissive and sexual, I don't know, it just strikes a chord with me I guess?
Crimson and Clover is just awesome, it's definitely one of my top 5 JJ&BH songs.
1. Fave scene - I'm having a hard time deciding but, like most of you probably the fight scene in the studio. Definitely intense and highly emotional - all the girls were awesome but more so Kristen. Love Lita's line: "Get in the booth Cherie!" Cracks me up for some reason hehe!
2. Fave song - "I Love Playing with Fire" even though it wasn't shown in its entirety...which is my only issue with the whole film and the fact that its NOT on the soundtrack - like most of you all...HUGE tragedy!
3. Fave performance - Dead End Justice...the girls rocked it even a tad better then the original...I know blasphemy but very true...lol! Do like the Cherry Bomb performance too of course...but love the song DEJ just a tad more.

Q: How to parse an XML AJAX Response Image

Scenario
Im using ajax to post data to my backend and buy a domain, i'm getting a response but the response is in xml. I can simply access the child nodes by using: let Registered = data.object.CommandResponse.DomainCreateResult; but the DomainCreateResult node has attributes on it. if you look at the image above you'll see that to access them I need to access @attribute, but this throws an error because of the @ symbol.
I've read around the internet for what to do and it seems that everyone is parsing XML documents, but I don't think this is the same as parsing a document. I'm new to messing around with XML in PHP and Javascript.
How do i access the @attributes from this XML response? Thank you for all the help in advance.

A: Use the [] notation
let Registered = data.object.CommandResponse.DomainCreateResult['@attributes'].Domain;

title: Block Rendering
description: How to customize the rendering of block-level elements
redirect_from: /0.20/customization/block-rendering/
---

# Block Rendering

Block renderers are responsible for converting the parsed AST elements into their HTML representation.

All block renderers should implement `BlockRendererInterface` and its `render()` method:

## render()

```php
public function render(AbstractBlock $block, ElementRendererInterface $htmlRenderer, bool $inTightList = false);
```

The `HtmlRenderer` will call this method whenever a supported block element is encountered in the AST being rendered.

If the method can only handle certain block types, be sure to verify that you've been passed the correct type.

### Parameters

- `AbstractBlock $block` - The encountered block you must render
- `ElementRendererInterface $htmlRenderer` - The AST renderer; use this to render inlines or easily generate HTML tags
- `$inTightList = false` - Whether the element is being rendered in a tight list or not

### Return value

The method must return the final HTML representation of the block and any of its contents. This can be an `HtmlElement` object (preferred; castable to a string), a string of raw HTML, or `null` if it could not render (and perhaps another renderer should give it a try).

If you choose to return an HTML `string` you are responsible for handling any escaping that may be necessary.

#### `HtmlElement`

Instead of manually building the HTML output yourself, you can leverage the `HtmlElement` to generate that for you.  For example:

```php
use League\CommonMark\HtmlElement;

$link = new HtmlElement('a', ['href' => 'https://github.com'], 'GitHub');
$img = new HtmlElement('img', ['src' => 'logo.jpg'], '', true);
```

## Designating Block Renderers

When registering your renderer, you must tell the `Environment` which block element class your renderer should handle. For example:

```php
use League\CommonMark\Block\Element\FencedCode;
use League\CommonMark\Environment;

$environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment();

// First param - the block class type that should use our renderer
// Second param - instance of the block renderer
$environment->addBlockRenderer(FencedCode::class, new MyCustomCodeRenderer());
```

A single renderer could even be used for multiple block types:

```php
use League\CommonMark\Block\Element\FencedCode;
use League\CommonMark\Block\Element\IndentedCode;
use League\CommonMark\Environment;

$environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment();

$myRenderer = new MyCustomCodeRenderer();

$environment->addBlockRenderer(FencedCode::class, $myRenderer, 10);
$environment->addBlockRenderer(IndentedCode::class, $myRenderer, 20);
```

Multiple renderers can be added per element type - when this happens, we use the result from the highest-priority renderer that returns a non-`null` result.

## Example

Here's a custom renderer which renders thematic breaks as text (instead of `<hr>`):

```php
use League\CommonMark\Environment;
use League\CommonMark\Node\Block\AbstractBlock;
use League\CommonMark\Renderer\Block\BlockRendererInterface;
use League\CommonMark\Renderer\NodeRendererInterface;
use League\CommonMark\Util\HtmlElement;

class TextDividerRenderer implements BlockRendererInterface
{
    public function render(AbstractBlock $block, NodeRendererInterface $htmlRenderer, bool $inTightList = false)
    {
        return new HtmlElement('pre', ['class' => 'divider'], '==============================');
    }
}

$environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment();
$environment->addBlockRenderer('League\CommonMark\Block\Element\ThematicBreak', new TextDividerRenderer());
```

## Tips

- Return an `HtmlElement` if possible. This makes it easier to extend and modify the results later.
- Don't forget to render any inlines your block might contain!

Alaska offers its visitors a lot of things. Among the most popular activities in Alaska is fishing. Home to some of the finest fishing in the world, the waters of Alaska are rich and filled with an abundance of marine life. Anglers find both fresh and marine fishing widely available throughout Alaska. The most common species in the Alaska fisheries are halibut and salmon. Lakes and rivers catch fishers in search of rainbow trout, steelhead and northern pike.
wishing to explore national parks. The Kenai Fjords and the National Parks of Denia in the southern central part of Alaska are among the most visited in the state. Park services offer many amenities and tour options. Cabins with a remote park can be reserved by those who want to escape from the crowd. Many of these sites are only available on a light plane and very rustic. Supplies must be transported, which requires extensive planning.
comforts of home often in new conditions. Guests are invited to take the beauty of Alaska at their own pace. Naturalists educate guests on the geology, flora, and fauna of Alaska. E-lodges can range from rustic to luxurious. Those who want to pamper themselves will find spa services, massage therapists, yoga training and wine tasting in high-class establishments.
Take a small cruise ship.
Small vessels by definition can accommodate less than 150 passengers; often less than 80 passengers. Small ship cruises do not follow the traditional cruise ship routes. The idea here is to avoid ports where docking is for large ships. Small cruises ship – all about how to attract guests to the environment. Kayaking, sports equipment, and excursion vessels provide guests with an intimate way of interacting with marine life, approaching glaciers, waterfalls and visiting their native villages. Do not expect a show on stage or a casino on a small ship cruise. Instead, you will be entertained by humpback whales, frolicking sea lions and soaring eagles.
Enjoy Alaska's Breathtaking Scenery while you're at it.
The Alaska ferry system, known as the Alaska Motorway, is an affordable alternative to small cruise ships or private yacht charters. From the southern terminal station in Bellingham, Washington, the sea highway stretches over 3,500 miles to the Dutch Harbor with stops in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, across the inner passage, across the Gulf of Alaska, to the source of Prince William and along the Aleutian chain. The Alaska Motorway is a great way to get to know the communities that inhabit the diverse and picturesque Alaska coastline. With more than 656,000 sq. M. A mile of desert, untouched beauty and abundant wildlife, Alaska outshines most countries! Traveling in Alaska through the ferry system provides many unique opportunities and things.
means of transportation is air or sea. The Alaska Motorway is the major part of our "highway system" and is such a route that it was designated as "National Scenic Route" and "All American Road," the only sea route with this designation.
It's all waiting for you in Alaska. There are many ways to see the great state and so many things that you can see and do.
Eco-lodge is the perfect place for me to relax. Will go there someday.

Quick reviews of the goofy fun movies of the summer.
Art film? Social commentary? It's a stunning film, but what's it all about?
Martin Scorsese's first Oscar-winning film is gritty and interesting.
So have I mentioned that we got the Blockbuster Total Access thing? The thing that everyone calls Blockbuster's NetFlix (much to Blockbuster's chagrin, no doubt)? Well, we got that, and now I'm starting to catch up on several years' worth of missed movies.
Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg star in this new comedy/drama on Fox.
This is an OLD movie, but I'm just getting around to seeing it.
So, I finally saw this movie. No doubt you've all seen it already, or at least heard about it, but I'm going to offer my thoughts anyway.
You'd think this was just another "American Pie" clone, but there's some surprising depth to this movie.
I can give you two reasons why this show made it on the air at all.
It's a good show. I don't know yet whether it'll be a great show.
Zely and Ritz is one of the latest restaurants to jump on the tapas bandwagon. It's in the spot formerly occupied by the Cockeyed Chef on Glenwood Avenue.
Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet give thoughtful and nuanced performances in this sleeper gem.
TBS gives us a shameless "Survivor" knockoff, but it's somewhat entertaining.
Just goes to show, animated films really can have interesting stories and characters.
This week I spent a lot of time lying on the couch watching movies on cable. There was a lot of nausea and coughed-up mucus, and not all of that was attributable to the flu.
Zach Braff, known mainly for his role on the NBC show "Scrubs", wrote and directed this heartfelt film.

Home » Health News » Can adults get polio? How to check you've been vaccinated and 'prevent' serious illness
Can adults get polio? How to check you've been vaccinated and 'prevent' serious illness
Polio 'could spread and mutate' says Angus Dalgleish
Poliovirus has been detected in sewage samples collected from the London wastewater system in recent months. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said a total of 116 virus isolates were identified in 19 sewage samples collected in London between February and July.
Since 2003 the UK has been declared polio-free, however, a new string of detections has sparked an investigation "to protect the public".
The UKHSA is also urging Britons to "make sure polio vaccines are up to date, especially parents of young children who may have missed an immunisation opportunity."
Polio was largely eradicated thanks to the vaccination effort, with the last case of wild polio contracted in the UK in 1984.
Most adults and children who are vaccinated against polio will not become sick from the virus, and many people do not even realise they are carrying it.
Although polio mainly affects children under the age of five, the World Health Organization warns it can impact people of any age, especially those who have not been vaccinated.
The UK is considered by the World Health Organization to be polio-free, with low-risk for polio transmission due to the high level of vaccine coverage across the population.
However, vaccine coverage for childhood vaccines has decreased nationally and especially in parts of London over the past few years, so UKHSA is urging people to check they are up to date with their vaccines.
Jane Clegg, chief nurse for the NHS in London said: "The majority of Londoners are fully protected against Polio and won't need to take any further action, but the NHS will begin reaching out to parents of children aged under five in London who are not up to date with their Polio vaccinations to invite them to get protected.
"Meanwhile, parents can also check their child's vaccination status in their Red Book and people should contact their GP surgery to book a vaccination, should they or their child not be fully up to date."
How can I find out if I am at risk?
If you are unsure about whether or not you are vaccinated against polio, you can contact your GP to check your vaccine record.
For children and babies, you can also check their personal child health record (red book).

How have polio traces gotten into UK wastewater?
As part of routine surveillance, "vaccine-like" polioviruses are occasionally detected each year in UK sewage samples.
The UKHSA says these have always been one-off findings that were not detected again.
The UKHSA continued: "These previous detections occurred when an individual vaccinated overseas with the live oral polio vaccine (OPV) returned or travelled to the UK and briefly 'shed' traces of the vaccine-like poliovirus in their faeces.
"Investigations are underway after several closely-related viruses were found in sewage samples taken between February and May.
"The virus has continued to evolve and is now classified as a 'vaccine-derived' poliovirus type two (VDPV2), which on rare occasions can cause serious illness, such as paralysis, in people who are not fully vaccinated."

Throughout the summer, arts and crafts fairs pop up in cities throughout Michigan.
But in Muskegon, the Lakeshore Art Festival is that and so much more.
"It is an all-encompassing arts extravaganza ... and it's a little bit more than your typical art and craft fair," said Carla Flanders, Lakeshore Art Festival director.
The festival, which takes place Friday and Saturday, July 6-7, in Muskegon, is an art fair at its core, with 350 exhibitors total. About 156 of those are "fine art" exhibitors, setting up at Hackley Park. The rest will be "general craft exhibitors," Flanders said, setting up throughout the streets of downtown Muskegon. And everything — in all 350 booths — is 100 percent handcrafted.
"How we define fine arts is just a higher level of artistry," Flanders said. To show the difference between the fine art section and the crafts section, she used the example of jewelry, which will be sold in both areas. In the fine arts section, it could be a silver ring first smelted from a piece of silver and set with a stone. Mean while in the crafts section, jewelry could look more like beaded or wire necklaces, earrings and rings.
"The cool thing about that is that anybody can find something," Flanders said. "So let's say you do want to go there and you come knowing that you want to spend a great deal on something phenomenal. You can spend that in the park. Or let's say you go there and you know that you just want to buy something that just is really cool and unique, and you don't want to spend a ton of money. You can do that throughout our craft section, which is on the street more."
Either way, you'd be getting celebrating and supporting art by purchasing a handcrafted item.
"They're all very unique, handmade goods — quality products — which we're really excited about," Flanders said. "Then beyond that, we have layered in a whole slew of really cool and unique things for everybody to enjoy."
Because the festival is about more than sales.
"So when I say everybody, that means all ages — families, Millennials, empty-nesters," Flanders said. "There's something for everybody there."
One section, called Children's Lane, will have free activities and entertainment for children.
"They are all artful and engaging or educational in some way," Flanders said. "And it's all free, with the exception of one booth." That would be the paint-your-own-canvas booth, where children will be able to take the canvas home with them afterward.
Right next to that section is the splash pad in Muskegon, and families are welcome to bring bathing suits and towels and use the area to cool down.
For those older than 21, alcohol will be available.
"We have a wine and craft beer garden, so while you are shopping, you can feel free to walk around with a glass of wine or some beer," Flanders said. "There's a stage there as well, so when you're done shopping, you can have a seat and listen to music on the stage."
There are four areas of the festival where artists will perform music or other entertainment throughout both days of the event, and they will be switching every two hours, allowing for a variety of entertainment for people wherever they happen to be throughout the festival.
Also on display will be nine kayak sculptures throughout downtown. In a partnership with Muskegon Museum of Art, the display will be installed through Labor Day weekend. The sculptures are real kayaks donated by Sun Dolphin, which artists were given to create their own unique sculptures. Sun Dolphin, the world's largest kayak manufacturer, is headquartered in Muskegon.
Organizers are expecting about 50,000 people during the two days, and they hope to get each person involved in the art, as well. Earlier in the year, children in Muskegon schools designed and painted doors that will be on display and for sale, while 25 more unpainted doors will be there "as blank canvases," Flanders said, for visitors to add their own personal touch to. Everyone is invited to add to the doors, and when they are sold, proceeds will go to the schools and art programs.
"We want anybody that's able to attend to feel part of the show," Flanders said. "... It's kind of an all-encompassing, really great atmosphere to just be creative."
Because of a record number of artists who applied to exhibit at the festival, this year's event is two blocks bigger than last year's. And among all the art and performances will be food: lots of it. There will be food booths preparing food right there, as well as pre-packaged artisan foods for sale and, of course, all the downtown Muskegon restaurants.
Flanders said festival organizers want to provide a place for people to celebrate art in all its forms. It provides an opportunity for expression — and an escape.
"In our world right now, there's so many things going on that it's sometimes hard to just look around and enjoy the beauty of things," she said. Organizers hope this festival can offer a chance for that.
"It's just a moment in time where you're just enjoying yourself and you're just there — you're being in the moment — and you can really tell that when people attend, how much they love it."

Contestants Blake Horstmann (from left) and Clay Harbor spend time with "The Bachelorette" star Becca Kufrin during a group date.
Harbor — who was born in Libertyville and raised in downstate Dwight — hurt his wrist on the last play of the game between his fellow contestants during a group date with star Becca Kufrin.
"Got hurt playing football on 'The Bachelorette.' That's pretty funny. You know, I was in a vulnerable state. And you know, Becca taking care of me made me feel special and connected to her," said Harbor, who was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010 and is now a free agent.
Harbor, 30, returned to "The Bachelorette" mansion with his arm in a sling. He and Kufrin ended up kissing, and she gave him a rose so he could advance to the next round.
Calling it the hardest decision of his life, Harbor eliminated himself from the competition the following night so he could have surgery. Harbor said he needs to be able to play football to support his family. He was shown dining with his family at home in Naperville earlier in the season.
"I know the right thing to do is to go," Harbor said. Kufrin got emotional as she watched him leave.
Monday's episode also featured a cameo by Chicago-area native Richard Marx, who helped Kufrin write a love song while she was on a date.
Seventeen men remain on Season 14 of "The Bachelorette," which airs at 7 p.m. Mondays on ABC. The network is hosting a Chicago casting call for aspiring female contestants of "The Bachelor" on June 30 at the Westin Michigan Avenue.

Crab for Thanksgiving? Maybe, but it won't be local
With Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's suspension yesterday of all fishing and crabbing in waters affected by the fuel spill until at least Dec. 1, some seafood processors and wholesalers were planning to bring in Dungeness from the Pacific Northwest to meet Thanksgiving demand.
At the storied Alioto-Lazio Fish Co. on Fisherman's Wharf, Angel Cincotta, who along with her mother and sisters runs the business, was hoping to get 6,000 pounds of live Dungeness trucked in before the holiday.
"As long as the weather holds (up north), we should have crab coming in. But how long it will be available, I don't know," she said.
For now, markets that carry Northwest or frozen crab are pricing it at $7.99 to $8.99, but that could go up significantly. Many markets won't have crab at all.
This was shaping up as a good season, said Reed Pommerance, seafood buyer for Andronico's. However, other seafood retailers were more pessimistic about the size of the pending catch.
Since the fuel spill from the Cosco Busan, Cincotta said interest in crab actually has grown.
"It's not just our normal Thanksgiving customers calling," she said. "Everyone seems to have crab on the mind. It's like when you're on a diet and you can't eat something. That's always the thing you really, really want to eat."
Bottom line is, if you want crab, order it well ahead - and be prepared to pay a premium.

Fisher House does a phenomenal job taking care of our nation's wounded warriors. Whether or not you agree with war, our wars, or the politicians who've sent these men to hell, it is an unfortunate reality, an axiom of humanity itself, that evil will give birth to violence, and that men will need to meet that violence with equal or greater violence. Many of the men doing so are your friends, family members, and neighbors. 13 years of war and counting is taking its toll on men who have honor, something a civilian like me will never grasp nor fully comprehend. They are a caste of warriors, made of different stock. But not without cost, and we're seeing that cost every day as the extraordinary are forced to come back to the ordinary. They are not broken, they are not crazy, but they are unquestionably different, and Fisher House is among the best at helping the extraordinary re-acclimate to the ordinary. If you are in the donating mood, they are the first port of call.
Special Operations Forces are the tip of the spear, and the epitomization of quiet professionalism. Irrespective of media glitz, these men do their job without pomp and circumstance, then return to relative obscurity. But while they are uniquely crafted, and from a different caste, they have the same human needs as other wounded warriors. SOWF seems to be among the best SOF-specific charities in operation. They are another charity I highly recommend.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has historically been the foremost advocate of digital privacy in the electronic era. This is an InfoSec focused site, and ultimately the core goal of InfoSec is the liberty that comes inherent to privacy. The EFF is easily the strongest voice for digital privacy, without whom there would be little to curb the gluttony of the Orwellian surveillance state. If veterans charities aren't your cuppa, while that's disheartening to me, I would appreciate you donating to the EFF in lieu of this.
I have no tie to any of these charities. They are simply causes with which I agree. Your donation to them will in no way reference me. This is not some moralistic self-licking ice cream cone, if you click any of the buttons above, no data from this site is sent to their site (other than the standard HTTP-Referer header, that's sent any time you click any link on any website - there are browser plugins to block the Referer header any way, which, we highly recommend where possible). I get no pat-on-the-back for sending people there. I simply want them to have your cash, period.


Vert is a meme from America. He is most well known for his Twitch and YouTube channel. Ever since he joined the Discord and spammed copypastas, he made an enemy out of Pat, N64 and Matthew. This caused all three to go through his YoutTube channel and find some amazing meme worthy gems (Vert's meme gallery).
Vert's YouTube career has consisted of Minecraft and ROBLOX videos. Despite this he has only amassed 47 subscribers.

Hemphill, Holbrook win at Eliot 5K road race
Dan Doyon
ELIOT, Maine — A business trip to Las Vegas earlier in the week had Ethan Hemphill a little concerned about his preparation for Saturday morning's 15th annual Eliot Festival Day 5K road race. The 35-year-old from Freeport works for L.L. Bean and said Sin City was his "least favorite place on Earth".
Hemphill didn't train as much as he would've liked to because of the trip, but that didn't slow him down on Saturday. Hemphill overcame Tim Rider in the final mile to win the men's division in a time of 15 minutes, 7 seconds.
Rider, 31, and Scott McGrath, 20, both of Dover, N.H., finished second and third behind Hemphill. Rider, a perennial top runner on the Seacoast, ran in 15:16, while McGrath finished with a time of 15:37.
"I didn't get tremendously consistent training out there, so I was really pleased I ran as fast as I did today," Hemphill said. "This is a great race with a great history, so to win this race was a great accomplishment."
Mariko Holbrook, a former nine-time All-American at Division III Brandeis University, took the lead after the first mile in the women's division and held to win in 16:59. The 26-year-old from Medford, Mass., outlasted Kristin Barry, 21, of Scarborough (17:25) and Emily Bryans, 40, of Schenectady, N.Y. (17:41).
"It went great," Holbrook said. "The first two miles are mostly downhill, so you can really get rolling. I got some good speed behind me and was able to run well up the hills on the last mile."
Rider jumped out to a healthy lead before Hemphill caught up with him about a mile and a half into the race. The two switched leads until Rider broke away again with only a half mile left.
Hemphill gave a final charge up the last hill and it was good enough to take the lead for good.
"Tim is a great runner, he certainly made me work for it," Hemphill said. "He was slowing down enough where I felt like I could pass him if I keep going. About three-quarters up the hill I was able to pass him and hold onto the lead."
Hemphill does a majority of his running in Maine and estimated he has about 10 to 12 wins on the season. Hemphill took up running during his junior year in college, as he ran for St. Lawrence University (N.Y.) for two years before graduating in 1994.
Holbrook is training for next week's Tufts 10K in Boston. The event is also the 10K national championship for women's road racing.
"I'm hoping to do really well there, so I wanted to get in a really good, strong, fast effort," Holbrook said. "It was under 17 minutes, so it was pretty much what I was shooting for."
Barry led the race early before Holbrook caught up and passed her at the end of the first mile. From that point, Holbrook's focus turned to catching up to some of the men in front of her. It was Holbrook's first time running in this race.
Neither course record was threatened. Patrick Tarpy of Providence, R.I., set the overall record last year in 14:15. Cathy O'Brien of Durham, N.H., set the women's record in 1996 (16:06).
Following Hemphill, Rider and McGrath and the men's top 10 were Patrick Ard (15:45) of Raymond, N.H.; Anthony Balakier (15:47) of York; Mark Gosztyla (15:50) of Dover, N.H.; Nathan Huppe (15:51) of Dover, N.H.; Michael Payson (15:56) of Falmouth; Mark Goettel (16:00) of Cumberland; and Peter Bottomley (16:05) of Cape Elizabeth.
Holbrook, Barry and Bryans were followed in the women's top 10 by Crystal Sineath (17:45) of Beverly, Mass.; Carry Buterbaugh (17:45) of South Portland; Tina Dowling (18:00) of Bolton, Mass.; Terri Anne McGettrick (18:04) of Andover, Mass.; Johanna Fickenscher (18:21) of Durham, N.H.; Christine Reaser (18:28) of Dayton; and Mary Pardi (18:48) of Falmouth.
Male age-group award winners (top 10 excluded) were Jacon Rowell (10-and-under, 21:18) of Derry, N.H.; Conor McGory (11-14, 18:35) of Falmouth; Eric Faureau (15-19, 17:31) of Falmouth; Joey Luchini (20-29, 16:13) of Windham; Paul Johnson (30-39, 16:09) of Windham; Marc Dugas (40-44, 17:19) of Scarborough; Michael Platt (40-45, 16:14) of Needham, Mass.; Tom Ryan (50-54, 16:23) of Cape Elizabeth; Jim Toulose (55-59, 18:47) of Cape Elizabeth; Ken Houle (60-64, 18:27) of Milton, N.H.; Ralph Harris (65-69, 28:12) of Lyman; Lloyd Slocum (70-74, 21:44) of Hollis; Jim Lynch (75-79, 23:13) of Plaistow, N.H.; Lou Peter (80-84, 37:14) of Methuen, Mass.; and Bill Tribou (85-and-over, 31:12) of Granby, Conn.

Q: How do you create a cubic spline with knots in Python? I'm trying to fit a cubic spline with three knots to some data to graph seasonality of a variable. My X data is the day number in a year (essentially range(0,366)) and the y data is the variable that is seasonal.
How do I create a cubic spline with three knots that fits to the data?
I've attempted to use:
    spline = sp.interpolate.interp1d(Xdata, ydata, kind='cubic')

And:
    spline = CubicSpline(Xdata, ydata, bc_type='periodic')

However, plotting the results from these with:
    plt.plot(range(0,366), spline(range(0,366)))

results in an exact plot of my ydata, with all the possible noise. I'm trying to create a smoothed line that is fit through the data.
My goal is to create a seasonality model that has the same y(x) value at day 0 and day 365, and a spline that bends 3 times between those values.

A: make_lsq_spline from scipy.interpolate creates a least-squares spline fit with fixed predefined knots.

Psychological egoism and hobbes
Hun Chung*
Many commentators think that Hobbes was committed to psychological egoism. Psychological egoism is a theory of human psychology claiming that all human actions are ultimately motivated solely by one's own self-interest. In this paper, I argue that there are reasons to think that Hobbes was not committed to psychological egoism in any of its plausible formulations.

With the recent volatility and lows in the gold market, many investors also have been wary of silver prices.
Silver on Friday closed down 0.4% to $28.87 per ounce. For the week, prices dropped 5.1%.
Not the prettiest picture, but for the year silver has increased more than twice the price of gold thanks to growing confidence that the global economy will dodge another recession bullet.
David Jollie, an analyst at Mitsui & Co. Precious Metals Inc., recently said to Bloomberg News, "A greater amount of confidence in the global economy generally means higher growth and that means more silver demand. If you look out beyond the end of the year, you can still see reasons to be bullish."
Increased Demand: The global head of metals analytics at Thomas Reuters GFMS, Philip Klapwijk, has forecast silver sales to increase as end-users expand inventories that thinned at the end of 2011.
A large portion of silver demand – 80% – comes from fabrication, which is expected to rise about 3% to 5% this year to roughly 900 million ounces.
Also helping is China's manufacturing expansion and an increased electronics industry demand.
Klapwijk also sees current monetary policy increasing investors' appetite for silver and triggering a subsequent price rise.
He expects "a continuation of very loose monetary policy," he wrote in a report earlier this year. "We also see rates likely being cut in some of the emerging-market economies such asChina, India and Brazil."
This means current silver market lulls are great buying opportunities since the long-term outlook remains bullish.
Klapwijk toldDow Jones Newswire, "We see a range for silver north of $40 and maybe getting to a low of $28" per troy ounce.
Emergence of Chinese Silver Futures: Chinese investors now have an opportunity to trade silver from home, which will spur rising prices.
On April 26,the Shanghai Futures Exchange received approval to begin trading silver futures, according to China Daily. The contract launched on May 10.
Investors have shown great interest since trading began.
Trading silver futures was previously less convenient for investors in China. Their only options were using international markets or trading indirectly via local Chinese markets.
"There has been an absence of a means of trading in silver in China," Wang Ruilei, an analyst with precious metals trader CGS Co Ltd, said to China Daily. "The market will be bigger and more liquid with the advent of these futures contracts."
Look for U.S. exchanges to stop dominating silver futures trading, and the wave of new market entrants will impact silver's price point.
Silver manipulation: Recently Money Morning Global Resources Specialist Peter Krauth spoke with silver expert Ted Butler to discuss how silver market manipulation is affecting the future landscape of the market.
Manipulation in the silver market is currently depressing prices – but it won't for long. The manipulators will stop and silver prices will then increase in an open market.
Butler said silver manipulation has created cheaper prices than usual, making silver a good buy.
"Therefore, the manipulation is giving silver investors a double-barrelled bonanza," said Butler.
"One, a cheap price to buy at than would otherwise be the case and, two, a much higher price to sell at once the manipulation is ended. That circumstance does not exist in any other investment, to my knowledge."
Krauth says to grab your cash now and fully pay for your silver transactions; don't borrow or go on margin.
For investors who stay with silver for the long term and deal with the price volatility, the payday will be there.

Reverse causation in the association between c-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels and cognitive abilities in an aging sample
Michelle Luciano, Riccardo E. Marioni, Alan J. Gow, John M. Starr, Ian J. Deary
Objective: To test the hypothesis that increased levels of inflammatory and hemostatic markers are associated with poorer cognitive performance and to assess the influence of childhood intelligence quotient (IQ) and current cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors on this relationship. Blood inflammatory markers have been shown to predict late-life cognition, although the mechanism through which this occurs is unknown. Methods: Levels of the biomarkers C-reactive protein and fibrinogen were measured in 1053 Scottish participants (50.2% female) from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 ranging in age from 67 to 71 years. Biomarker levels were tested for their association with diverse cognitive abilities. Results: Significant cross-sectional associations were found between the biomarkers and various cognitive abilities: their effect size was around 1% of the variance and was in the direction of higher marker levels conferring poorer cognitive performance. With the exception of the reaction time measures (and fibrinogen), these associations could be explained by childhood IQ, CVD risk factors, or both. Importantly, both the inflammatory markers at age 70 years were associated (p <.001) with childhood IQ. Conclusions: Whereas inflammatory marker levels predict contemporaneous general cognitive ability, the results support a model of reverse causation because childhood IQ predicts late-life inflammation. This might be through its association with later life CVD risk factors or because it is a measure of system integrity. Unlike general cognitive ability, the association between inflammatory markers (particularly fibrinogen) and processing speed was maintained in the presence of childhood IQ and/or CVD risk factor adjustments. This might also reflect variation in physiological integrity. Keywords: inflammation, hemostasis, cognitive ability, processing speed, cognitive aging, normal population.

Why bother with dental implants in Hampshire?
If you have lost or are faced with losing teeth, then you will no doubt be wondering how to replace them. Chances are that you will have heard of dental implants. In Hampshire, they are available from us at Dental Implants Hampshire. Our implant dentist Dr James Kleiber has many years' experience in dealing with both simple and complex dental implant cases, and has seen just how they can transform people's lives. But what makes dental implants so worth investing in? Let's take a look at their benefits.
You can use this phrase in all honesty when you are talking about dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots fitted into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Once there, the titanium, from which the implants are made, stimulates the jawbone tissue to grow all over it. In a matter of weeks, the two have meshed together and the implant is held in place as securely as a natural tooth. This means that you can rely on your new teeth to chew through all your favourite foods, including roast potatoes and steaks. It also means that your teeth won't take to sliding around in your mouth just when you need your dignity the most. This is one area in which dental implants have the edge on dentures, which can only give about a quarter of the chewing power of natural teeth.
Not many people realise that when their teeth have gone, their jawbone will start to deteriorate in the area where the teeth used to be. Jawbones need the stimulation of the constant tremors that come down through the tooth roots to trigger cell renewal. No tremors, no bone renewal. In fact, it's worse than that. No tremors, active bone degeneration, and you can find yourself losing up to 25% of your bone material in just a year after losing a tooth. Dental implants enable those vital tremors to reach the jawbone, keeping it strong and dense and your face looking firm and youthful.
To find out more about these and other benefits from dental implants in Hampshire, why not come in for a consultation?

Never heard of dental implants in Hampshire?
So, here you are. You have lost teeth. You are faced with having to replace them, and you have to make a choice between three options: dentures, bridges and dental implants.
Dental what? You've never heard of dental implants in Hampshire? In a way, we are not surprised. Although this miraculous way of replacing teeth was discovered back in the 1950s and has been available for around 40 years, it is only in the last decade or so that they have reached a critical mass of popularity. Now they are available from lots of places, but it can still be hard to find a good dentist with lots of experience in putting in dental implants. In Hampshire, here at Dental Implants Hampshire, our implant surgeon, Dr James Kleiber, has been working with dental implants for many years.
He can tell you all about how they work and their incredible benefits, but let's just take a quick look at the basics here.
A dental implant is tiny post or screw made of out titanium. It is about 1.3 centimetres long, and it acts as an artificial tooth root. Once fitted into the jaw, it can have as many as three crowns (the white bit of the teeth) fitted onto it. Used in clever combinations, dental implants in Hampshire can be used to replace one, some or even all of your teeth. There is even a way of using dental implants to stabilise your dentures so that you can avoid all that embarrassing sliding around that they tend to do after a while.
The procedure takes place under local anaesthetic, with sedation if you are very anxious about it. Dr Kleiber will cut a flap in your gum and then drill an artificial socket into your jawbone. The implants are tapped or screwed into place, the gum sewn up and you go home for several weeks while the implant integrates with your jawbone to give that amazingly firm chewing base. When you come back, your custom-made crowns are fitted and you are good to go.

If you, or anybody you know has missing teeth, they do not have to just learn to live with the gaps in their smile. There is a tried, tested and reliable solution available called dental implants. This innovative solution gives patients replacement teeth that look, feel and behave just like natural, healthy teeth. You now can restore your smile to its former glory with dental implant treatment at Dental Implants Hampshire. Dental implants can be used to restore one, several, or even a whole mouthful of missing teeth.
Here are a few facts about dental implants in Hampshire.
The artificial root of a dental implant is made from titanium, which boasts strength and biocompatibility. The implant is carefully placed directly into your jawbone. New bone tissue grows and wraps itself around this artificial root, creating a solid foundation for the attachment of replacement teeth.
Gaps in your smile can cause health issues, such as the loss and deterioration of your jawbone. Without the roots of teeth in the jawbone, it gets the idea that it is no longer need and starts to break down. Dental implants in Hampshire behave like natural tooth roots, sending the necessary signals to the jawbone, telling it to stay strong and healthy. This ultimately ensures your facial structure remains intact and you don't experience that sunken-cheeked look often seen in long-term denture users.
Though you will need to take good care of your dental implants, they are not susceptible to cavities. However gum disease can still affect their stability, so good dental hygiene remains important.
Dental implants in Hampshire can resolve issues with biting and chewing and can even improve your speech – all problems that you may be putting up with after tooth loss. So you will be able to eat all your favourite foods again and talk without worrying about your replacement teeth slipping about.
Dental implant technology is robust and long-lasting. With good dental hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime.

At your initial assessment we will discuss any dental problems you may have and the treatment options available to you. You will also get an idea about costs, payment options and time frames for your treatment.
After this, our dentists will carry out a thorough examination of your mouth to assess your suitability for dental implants in Hampshire.
Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure and will be carried out under local anesthetic, keeping your discomfort to a minimum. However for particularly anxious patients, sedation is also available to help you relax. Your implants will be carefully inserted directly into your jawbone. The implants themselves are made from titanium which fuses seamlessly with your body's bone and tissues, creating a stable and strong foundation.
Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, the implants will be uncovered and abutments (the posts on which the replacement teeth will rest) are fitted. An impression will then be taken of your gum and abutments. This is then sent to the dental lab for your replacement teeth to be created. These are then attached to the abutments, completing your treatment with dental implants in Hampshire.
After a week or two of healing, you will attend a review, just to check that everything is going well. Our dentists will look to see if there is any movement, ensure that you are not experiencing any pain and make sure you are comfortable with your new teeth.
Dental Implants behave much like natural teeth and require all the same cleaning processes. A bonus of dental implants is that they cannot get cavities. With regular check-ups and an effective oral hygiene routine, your dental implants will last for many years to come, potentially a lifetime.

When it comes to tooth replacement, the 21st century is all about dental implants. In Hampshire, increasing numbers of people are opting for implants because they want more reliability of function, discretion and oral health, without the hassle of complex daily care.
These requirements can be even more important if you lost your teeth to an accident or injury. If you were very young when you had teeth knocked out, you may have been struggling with removable false teeth ever since.
In Hampshire, dental implants do away with that struggle, and you can once again live life as if all your teeth were your own. This can greatly enhance your quality of life if your false teeth have been obscuring your clarity of speech, preventing you from eating your favourite foods, or, limiting your chances in the dating world.
In Hampshire, dental implants can dramatically improve people's lives because, unlike traditional false teeth, implants become a permanent part of your jawbone. At Dental Implants Hampshire, our implant surgeons insert them, during a minor surgical procedure, into special channels that they drill into your jaw. Over the next two to four months, the titanium implants stimulate the bone tissue to regrow and fuse with the rough surface of the implants, until they are held as securely in place as natural teeth. While this process, known as osseointegration, takes place you can continue to wear your own false teeth, although you will have to stick to a restricted diet.
Once osseointegration is well under way, you come in for your next session. During this appointment, we will add an internal screw, called an abutment, to the implant. It is to this that we attach your new artificial crowns. Your artificial teeth are specially made for you from hardwearing porcelain colour-matched to your own teeth, and sized and shaped so that these new teeth become indistinguishable from the ones Nature gave you.
If you take care of your new dental implants in Hampshire, they should last you a lifetime. Implants have a success rate of over 95%. All you have to do is clean and floss twice a day and resume enjoying life the way you did before you lost your teeth.

Remember when you used to have all your own teeth? Your smile would have been one of the first things that people noticed about you. And they would have continued to notice it as they talked to you. We are hardwired to do so. But, if you have lost one or more teeth and have had them replaced with a bridge or dentures, you may be finding that other people can spot that some of your teeth are artificial. If so, maybe it's time to find out more about dental implants in Hampshire.
At Dental Implants Hampshire, we can offer you two clinics at which you can have implant surgery. You can come to our clinic on Palmerston Street in Romsey or you can visit us at our clinic in Chequers Road in Basingstoke for dental implants in Hampshire. Whichever clinic is more convenient for you, you will find yourself in the same warm, relaxed and friendly environment, receiving high quality care using modern dental equipment and techniques.
You may need only one tooth replacing. Or it could be a few, or even all of your teeth. We can help you replace any number of missing teeth, using our experience, knowledge and skills to give you back your beautiful smile.
As dental implants are fitted into the jawbone, they are a long-lasting and remarkably stable solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants replace the missing root as well as the crown of the tooth. Having replacement tooth roots gives stability to your remaining teeth and also keeps your jawbone strong and healthy. If you don't replace missing tooth roots, the teeth surrounding the gap left by the missing root can tip into it. Also, and very importantly, the jawbone itself can start to lose density. Jawbone shrinkage is what creates the sunken look associated with age, but which is actually the product of a reduced jawbone and missing teeth. The more teeth you have lost the more pronounced this can become.
In Hampshire, dental implants solve this problem and also create a stable base onto which custom-made artificial teeth can be fitted.

If you have ever had something go wrong with your body to the extent that you needed to get a bit of it corrected it, you will know how hard it is to mimic Nature so well that you can just forget about what went wrong and carry on with life. Extra bits to correct your not so great natural assets can be a hassle. They get lost, they get broken. Ask anyone who has had glasses or contact lenses and then got their eyes lasered. It's the same with teeth, ask anyone who has made the move from a bridge or denture to dental implants in Hampshire, and you are unlikely to find a bad review.
Having extra bits in your mouth that can get food stuck in them, have to be taken out to be cleaned, or that start to slide around after a few months is no fun, and about as far away from what Nature intended as you can get.
That's why in Hampshire, dental implants are so popular. They are the closest thing to natural teeth available. Instead of relying on receding gums or adjacent teeth to provide a stable chewing base, they use the jawbone, just like natural teeth do. The implants are set into the jaw and they stay there, often for decades, providing the means to bite into crunchy foods and to chew tough foods, both of which are often the nutrient dense foods we need to be well-nourished.
Dental implants are small titanium posts which we at Dental Implants Hampshire insert into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The procedure requires a fair amount of drilling and as the idea of this can make people anxious, we are very happy to provide sedation for the procedure.
Once the implant is in place, it takes a few weeks to integrate with the jawbone. New bone tissue grows all over the surface of the implant, and this is what later holds it in place.
Dental implants in Hampshire simply require regular brushing and flossing and hygienist visits to remove plaque. Dental implants can't decay, but they can fall victim to gum disease.

When you start having to think about getting your teeth replaced, you have to think about what you want from your restorations. Teeth play an important part in eating, but they are also vital for the formation of certain sounds when we talk. Our teeth are in constant use, and take a lot of strain, sometimes even when we sleep, so it's important that any replacements can do an effective job and can last a long time.
At Dental Implants Hampshire, we concentrate on giving people the highest quality dental implants in Hampshire because we know how vital teeth are.
We have seen what happens when replacement teeth don't quite do their job well enough for long enough, and so it is no surprise to us that in Hampshire dental implants have become many people's first choice for new teeth.
As dental implants in Hampshire are anchored into the jawbone, they provide a solid, stable anchor for the crowns, which means that you can continue to eat whatever you want without having to worry that your new teeth will not be able to stand the strain of chewing on a good steak, or biting into a crunchy apple. Your diet can be as wide and varied as you like, including raw and chewy foods that often contain the most nutrients. Also, you can talk and laugh with complete freedom. Your teeth will stay still, and you will not have to worry about any wobbling that might make you look odd.
The way that dental implants work is by becoming fully integrated with the jawbone. The implants are made of titanium, a highly biocompatible metal that encourages the bone to produce new tissue. This grows all over the surface of the implant, holding it in place just like a natural tooth. This process takes a few weeks to complete, but afterwards, as long as you take care of your implants, you can expect them to last for decades. They cannot decay, but they can fall victim to gum disease, so you must clean and floss your implants thoroughly every day.

Have you been told you can't have dental implants in Hampshire?
There's no doubt that in Hampshire, dental implants can transform lives, especially if people have been struggling with their missing teeth or dentures for a long time. Being able to once again eat what they like, speak clearly and smile and laugh without embarrassment can feel like a miracle.
But, what if you have been to see someone about having dental implants and been told that you can't have them? Is that the end of the road? Well, maybe not. It's well worth getting a second opinion and at Dental Implants Hampshire, we are very happy to provide one.
The success of dental implants depends on how well they integrate with the jawbone to provide a strong and stable chewing base.
You need to have a strong jawbone that will heal well around the titanium implants once they have been inserted. Ideally, new bone cells and blood vessels will grow all over the surface of the implant and these will hold the implant in place.
You are a smoker, which can hinder blood flow to the site and slow down or prevent healing.
Giving up smoking and controlling type 2 diabetes can greatly increase your chances of being able to have dental implants in Hampshire. We can probably help you with gum disease and we have a couple of ways of dealing with jawbones that have started to resorb.
You could have bone graft material inserted into the site. This requires opening up the bone and packing either your own or synthetic bone material into the jawbone and then allowing it some time to integrate with the bone already there. Or, if your problem is with your upper jaw, you can have extra-long implants anchored into your cheekbones.

If you've never heard of dental implants before, and you've just lost or are losing teeth, then you are in for a pleasant surprise when you come to us at Dental Implants Hampshire for a consultation about ways to replace them.
In Hampshire, dental implants are the most effective way to replace lost teeth. They offer full functionality, that is they work as well as your natural teeth, without compromising other teeth around them. Plus, if you look after them well, which is pretty simple to do, they can last for the rest of your life. Let's take a look at what dental implants are.
Dental implants in Hampshire are titanium posts, generally about 1.3 centimetres long. They are either a post or screw-shaped. Inside, each has an internal screw as well. The dental implants are inserted into your jawbone and replace the root of your tooth. This gives the crowns incredible stability, and means that you can carry on eating a wide and varied diet containing any crunchy, sticky, chewy foods you want, including important raw vegetables and fruit.
Each implant can carry up to three crowns and whatever you need is fixed onto the implant with a component called abutment that is screwed into the implant's internal screw.
In Hampshire, dental implants are inserted under local anaesthetic, and if you are a nervous patient, you can also opt for sedation.
The dentist cuts through the gum and drills into a carefully chosen site to create an artificial socket. The implant is either tapped or screwed into place, and the gum sewn back. Over the next few weeks, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once the two have meshed together, your custom-made crowns can be added.
Implants cannot decay, but they can become loose if they are affected by advanced gum disease. Your job is to clean them thoroughly twice a day, with careful brushing, flossing, interdental brushes and mouthwash to make sure that plaque does not build up. Supplement your routine with bi-annual hygienist visits and your implants should last a lifetime.

We walked 27km+++ today to Villafranca de Xira. We were thinking 27km on pancake flat land is a walk in park for us but we didn't count on walking in an oven. It was blistering hot out there without a cloud in the sky and rarely a lick of a breeze. The sun saps your energy and watering holes are few and far between. Now I know I'll also complain when it's raining but I prayed for clouds during this walk.
The +++ after the mileage today was for the places we got lost, missed a turn or didn't trust the arrows. The first missed arrow that cost us an extra 300m was exactly 25 meters from where we restarted our walk at the bridge in Sacavem. Great start. We also did an extra kilometer in Alverca when I thought the arrows were leading only to an off-track hostel. That is when we met our first other pilgrim who set us straight. I think he's German and not only can he read a map better than I can, he walks really, really fast.
On the bright side, we did discover B!Limonada that refreshes like nothing else. It's probably pure sugar but I didn't care. Another plus for the day is the Pensao Ribatejana (10€ / person and they did our laundry for free). With a 5:30pm arrival, I had to love that.

"The circus comes as close to being the world in microcosm as anything I know; in a way, it puts all the rest of show business in the shade."*…
While circus acts go back to the midst of time, the circus as commercial entertainment dates to the opening decades of the nineteenth century. In Victorian England, the circus appealed across an otherwise class-divided society, its audiences ranging from poor peddlers to prestigious public figures. The acts that attracted such audiences included reenacted battle scenes, which reinforced patriotic identity; exotic animal displays that demonstrated the reach of Britain's growing empire; female acrobatics, which disclosed anxieties about women's changing role in the public sphere; and clowning, which spoke to popular understandings of these poor players' melancholy lives on the margins of society.
The proprietor and showman George Sanger (from whose collection the following photographs come) was a prime example of how the circus was to evolve from a small fairground-type enterprise to a large-scale exhibition. Sanger's circuses began in the 1840s and '50s, but by the 1880s, they had grown to such a scale that they were able to hold their own against the behemoth of P.T. Barnum's three-ring circus, which arrived in London for the first time in that decade.
Like many circuses in the nineteenth century, Sanger's was indebted to the technology of modern visual culture to promote his business. Local newspapers displayed photographs alongside advertisements to announce the imminent arrival of a circus troupe. Garish posters, plastered around towns, also featured photographs of their star attractions. And individual artists used photographic portraits, too (in the form of the carte-de-visite or calling card), to draw attention to their attributes and to seek employment. One striking image in this collection [the image above] poses six performing acrobats amid the other acts—a lion tamer, an elephant trainer, a wire walker, and a clown—in one of Sanger's circuses, all in front of the quintessential big-top tent. Maybe the projection of the collective solidarity of the circus in this image belies personal rivalries and animosities that might have characterized life on the road. Moreover, at the extreme edge of the image, on the right-hand side behind the dog trainer, there appears to be the almost ghostly presence of a Black male figure. By dint of their peripatetic existence, all those employed in the circus were often viewed as marginal and exotic. However, this image is a reminder of how racial and ethnic minorities were a presence within circus culture, even if, as here, they appear to have been banished to the margins of the photograph.
That most democratic of Victorian popular entertainments: photos from the Sanger Circus Collection.

As we head for the big top, we might recall that today is International Yada Yada Yada Day. Lenny Bruce is often credited with the first use of "yadda yadda" on the closing track on his 1961 album "Lenny Bruce – American," though earlier uses are documented in vaudeville. Employed by comedians and TV shows to convey that something unimportant or irrelevant was being elided, it gained vernacular currency when Jerry Seinfeld's show featured a variation on this phrase as an inside joke between characters Elaine Benes (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and George Costanza (Jason Alexander).
The Yada Yada," the series' 153rd episode, focused on just how badly using the phrase can backfire when the details being omitted are actually extremely important– the fact that George's new girlfriend is actually a kleptomaniac who steals to kill time, or that Jerry's new girlfriend is both racist and antisemitic. (That episode also introduced the term"anti-dentite.") Hilarity ensues when both these unwitting men find out what kind of people they have been dating, and must break off the relationships.
In 2009, the Paley Center for Media named "Yada, Yada, Yada" the No. 1 funniest phrase on "TV's 50 Funniest Phrases."

Profile of Padmashree Bharti Shiwaji
Padmashri Bharati Shivaji
Initially beginning her research under Sri Kavalam Narayana Panikker, one of the most illustrious authorities on theater in the country, Bharati has been researching in Mohiniyattam for over two decades which eventually became the cause of her life. She has played a significant role in the reconstruction of the dance form, reorienting & revitalizing the concert format, & expanding the parameters of its technique & idiom. Until then, the repertoire of Mohiniyattam remained limited & repetitive.
Bharati's pursuit of Mohiniyattam also initiated her into other regional art forms of Kerala, thus enabling her to imbibe the aesthetics of Mohiniyattam not in isolation but in significant relation to the interdisciplinary traditions of Kerala, be it theater, music, sculpture, painting, architecture or literature. Bharati traveled extensively in Kerala thus imbibing the regional ethos & studying the DESI traditions of Kerala, interacting with several regional art forms & their characteristics. She embarked on a process of assimilating & grafting elements from various art forms in which she discerned an affinity with LASYA, the feminine spirit which constitutes the quintessence of Mohiniyattam.
Bharati's research into the cultural legacy of Kerala culminated in the publication of her book 'The Art Of Mohiniyattam', making it one of the most illuminating works on the form & spirit of Mohiyattam. She has done extensive work on the GEETHGOVIND tradition in Kerala temples. Ashtapadis as it is known, have been sung in the temples of Kerala from the 14th century & Bharati being an accomplished singer herself has traveled to several temples in Kerala & documented the unique musical tradition known as SOPANA. She was the first dancer to have incorporated the GeethGovind ashtapadis in the Sopana tradition into the Mohiniyattam repertoire. And today, the GeethGovind has become an important item in the Mohiniyattam syllabus thanks to her efforts.
Bharati has added a new dimension to Mohiniyattam by successfully presenting innovative group choreographic productions. She has established the CENTRE FOR MOHINIYATTAM, which is exclusively devoted to the training & propagation of Mohiniyattam. She is solely responsible for establishing Mohiniyattam on the national & international map. Besides having performed extensively both within the country & abroad, she has also produced documentaries on Mohiniyattam for Doordarshan & Films Division. Without deviating from tradition, she has single handedly established Mohiniyattam with all other classical dance forms of India.
Some of the prestigious venues where Bharati Shivaji has performed include the International Edinburgh Festival in 2002. More recently, she had the unique honour of being invited to present her new choreographic work Swan Lake in the Mohiniyattam style at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow and the Conservatory Theatreat St.Petersburgh,Russia in 2005
She has been conferred one of India's highest honour - the title of 'PADMASHRI' - for her tireless efforts, devotion & comittment to the cause of Mohiniyattam.
For her invaluable contribution to the art of Mohiniyattam, the title of 'LASYA LAKSHMI' was conferred on her by the Kunchan Nambiar Memorial Trust, Kerala. She was honoured with the Sahitya Kala Parishad Samman by the Delhi administration & the prestigious title 'NRITYA CHOODAMANI' conferred on her by the Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai. She was also felicitated at the Theatre De La Ville, France, by the Mayor of Paris for her one woman crusade in popularizing Mohiniyattam ensuring it's place on the world map. She is also the recipient of the Central Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for her contribution to Mohiniyattam.

This article is about an Italian physicist. For a European unmanned cargo resupply spacecraft, see Edoardo Amaldi ATV.
Edoardo Amaldi (5 September 1908 – 5 December 1989) was an Italian physicist.
Amaldi was born in Carpaneto Piacentino, the son of Ugo Amaldi, professor of mathematics at the University of Padua, and Luisa Basini.
Amaldi graduated under the supervision of Enrico Fermi and was his main collaborator until 1938, when Fermi left Italy for the United States. In 1939, Amaldi was drafted into the Royal Italian Army and returned to physics in 1941.
After WWII, Amaldi held the chair of "General Physics" at the Sapienza University of Rome, rebuilt the post-Fermi school of physics, and was the co-founder of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics and of ESRO. He was the general secretary of CERN at its early stages when operations were still provisional, before September's 1954 official foundation. He pioneered in Europe the search for gravitational waves.
His main scientific results were on slow neutrons in the Fermi group, and the evidence for antiproton annihilations with emulsion techniques, somewhat contemporary to its production in accelerators by Emilio Segrè and collaborators. Amaldi co-authored about 200 scientific publications ranging from atomic spectroscopy and nuclear physics to elementary particle physics and experimental gravitation, as well as textbooks for secondary schools and universities. He also wrote historical-scientific books, like for example, the biography of his missing friend Ettore Majorana. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1958 and American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1962. In 1963 he became foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. On 25 April 1968, he was elected as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society.
Amaldi died unexpectedly on 5 December 1989, still in full activity, while he was president of the Accademia dei Lincei, of which he had been a member since 1948.
The third Automated Transfer Vehicle of the European Space Agency bears his name.
