Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 Review (Spoiler Free)
Pandemic was the first game we ever bought. We played it over and over and over again until the cards started to fade and the board edges became white. We eventually framed the first game since it holds such a sentimental spot in our heart and now it hangs in our home. Needless to say, we had very high hopes for Pandemic Legacy: Season 1.
Without spoiling anything (I'll get to that in a separate post), I thought Pandemic Legacy was a great experience but a tad lackluster on the game end. If you enjoy Pandemic and want a campaign, I highly recommend this trying this out. You're getting a game you already enjoy building off prior plays. There is a narrative that immerses you and makes you want to keep playing. However, if you want a campaign style game but aren't a fan of Pandemic, you probably won't like Season 1 for the same reasons. It'll be a little more nuanced than that but I cannot dive any deeper without spoiling anything.
Besides the individual plays building off of one another, the biggest change in Legacy-style games is the destruction of components throughout the game. I will say that we felt absolutely dirty destroying components and marking up the board. This is a personal issue but as someone who has gone to great lengths to protect their games, I couldn't shake the feeling that placing stickers or writing on a component was wrong. Some people might revel in this or take no issue but it's worth noting for the few of us that align with me. It never got easier. It didn't diminish the experience at all but it was something that I didn't think would matter to me as much as it did.
Regarding the main component, the board itself is slightly larger than the base version of Pandemic but it will look incredibly familiar to players of the original game. There are some new graphic additions that help players keep track of the unique Legacy implementations. They do not detract from the game at hand. There are some additional alterations, such as some of the connections of the cities have been altered, with Santiago being the most obvious to us. Typically, Santiago is a dead end but now it's connected to Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is now connected to Johannesburg (making that South America-to-Africa connection). Also of note is that Baghdad is no longer connected to Karachi. These changes are helpful for travel but also can cause issues as disease can now spread easier through these channels. While the risk/reward is similar, I rather enjoyed the changes as it made navigation a little easier.
The individual character role cards are slightly more fleshed out than the base versions. I'm not in love with them though as I found them incredibly hard to write-on (as they're used to track plays). This is a minor annoyance but for something designed to be written on, I couldn't find a pen in our house to manage that duty (Sharpie, felt, or ball). Maybe all the writing utensils in my house suck but it was a source of frustration.
The infection and player cards are the same as they've always been and the components for your characters and tracking the diseases and infections remain the same. There are no changes there.
The items that make the game a Legacy game are interesting and easy to follow without spoiling yourself. The game presents everything in a concise way to ensure players new and old are comfortable. This is important as there are some slight tweaks to the game so make sure you read the rulebook (even if you're a Pandemic master).
If you play this over the course of weeks or months (and not six days like us), you will be wise to refresh the rules with all players, particularly the new bits that will get introduced. Nothing is complicated but as each month will be slightly different, there's no harm to ensuring players are on the same page, especially since each play matters. The new concepts don't overly complicate any aspect of the game but they do add a few wrinkles that players need to know and utilize. A fully completed Pandemic Legacy will be slightly more complex than the base game but it's only due to information retention than to depth and strategy.
There were some rules questions that we had come up during the course of the game and this was a source of contention for us as how do you find the answers without spoiling the game for yourself? We were able to Google them and avoid spoilers (as it appears others had similar questions) so don't fret about being lost up the creek without a paddle.
Whoever you decide to play with, make sure you stick together for the long haul. I would not skip games unless necessary and would not let someone jump in from the second month on. It would just be too much of a disadvantage for the players in my opinion.
Our absolute biggest concern was how the game would play at only two-players. We really enjoyed ourselves. We both played one character each and rarely if ever swapped roles. I've heard some people say to control two characters each but that was not necessary for us. At times, we debated introducing a third character that we both controlled but the situation never called for it. If you're worried about playing this two-players with your spouse or SO or roommate, rest assured it works just as well as regular Pandemic does with two. You will have the same challenges that you have in regular Pandemic where some games seem to easy and some seem incredibly too hard.
I personally enjoyed it at two and don't know how I'd feel at three or four. My main issue would be waiting to play (as you need to get everyone together) and time of play (as each player will add time to the game as they make decisions and such). With new items, the games will get longer and that's only exacerbated by having more players around the table. We finished the game in six days and I know we couldn't do that with more players.
I want to talk about the story but won't. You can spoil it yourself if you'd like but it was gripping enough to make us want to see the entire thing through. In fact, I never thought about putting the game away or taking a break during the campaign. If unimportant things like work, sleep, and food wouldn't have gotten in the way, we would have been done even quicker. There were aspects I didn't like and didn't agree with but it never made me want to stop playing.
The two different box art covers do not change anything regarding the game. All the components inside are identical and only the box art is different.
It looks like Season One is on Amazon for roughly $59.99 and while I believe that price was worth it, it can be hard to justify with a game that you'll only play "once". There is no reset feature like Charterstone (double-sided board) or Gloomhaven (removable stickers) offer. I have seen it for cheaper at some stores and during sales (even down to $34.99) and would tell people to jump on it at that price if they were even remotely interested.
This is pretty much all I can say regarding the game without going into Spoilers. If you have a particular question that wasn't answered, let me know via email and I'll try and help!
I will spoil the game in my next post if that's your thing so keep a look out.

Autograph was proud to take part in Hackney Council's event celebrating the Windrush generation.
We were honoured to share our Exhibition in a Box display with over 300 local Caribbean elders at Hackney Town Hall on 3 October.
Hackney's Caribbean Tea Party celebrated the achievements of the Windrush generation, and thanked them for their contributions to the borough.
Guests were welcomed by a steel pan rendition of 'London is the Place for Me', and the Party included exhibits, Caribbean food, magazine launch and a live BBC Radio London Broadcast. The afternoon was compered by Hackney-born actor and presenter Eddie Nestor MBE.
Autograph contributed our pop-up archive display of 30 remarkable image panels, reproduced from rare 19th century photographs portraying people of African, Caribbean and South Asian descent during the Victorian era in Britain.
Ali Eisa, Autograph's Public Programme Manager (Education) was on hand to chat about the images. He also worked with artist Aida Silvestri to document the day at her polaroid photo booth, where over 50 portraits were taken of guests.

New: Added support for WP 5.1.
Fix: Ref Forum ticket – When the subsite locale (Language) is different to the Network main site the confirmation of user activation now follows the subsite locale. NSUR has been updated to cater for WP 5.0.1 core security updates.
Fix: Ref Forum ticket – The WP 5.0.1 core update added some security to handle activation differently WP is now stripping the key from the activation link and forcing cookies to be used as reference to the activation key data. The key is also flushed out from the local cookies so has completely lost by the time the NSUR plugin wants to collect the key for use in determining the locale for display (which was added in NSUR version 2.1) for now this functionality has been dropped to not cause the 404 error with WP 5.0.1+ sites.
Fix: Ref Forum ticket – Fixed to allow login url which includes query argument "redirect_to=" to redirect.
New: Fix to Forum ticket – Added Functionality for the registration confirmation page to be in the same language/locale as the sub-site.
New: Setting to configure the sub-site "default role" to be assigned during user activation. Roles available for selection are those without 'edit_users' or 'promote_users', this is for safety so that users who register cannot gain a role initially that allows them to remove/edit other users.
New: On new user registration the initial sub-site language/locale is stores into the users profile meta.
New: Added WordPress version 4.9.6 signup template.
New: Existing Network users are now also added automatically as members of a sub-site when logging into the new sub-site with their existing username/password (Note: sub-site registration needs to be enabled for this to happen).
New: Further alignment with WordPress 4.9 initial signup template.
Fix: Error thrown on registration page due to undefined variables (ref support ticket), updated signup 4.7 template.
Fix: Logged in users cannot register on another sub-site on the same network, they need to logout before they can register on the next sub-site. Version 1.6 now auto registers network logged in users to a new sub-sites where registration is enabled and when they attempt to access admin.
Fix: Signup Network Title is used rather than the sub-site.
Fix: Sign up page not found with use of PHP-FPM (FastCGI) on the sever.
New: added a message/prompt in the settings page when the theme was overriding the signup page template, should one have been created.
Fix: WordPress Alpha/Beta versions not catered for.
Fix: hook to Settings page within 'plugin_action_links_' is wrong.

Q: Can not set property of 'src' of null - JavaScript I have trouble understanding the problem that's preventing me from run some JavaScript code.
On clicking the button it should change the image, which is saved in an array. The images are in the same folder as the html document, so there is no error in the path.
While it works on Firefox, it doesn't work on Chrome and Edge.
My Chrome console says Can not set property of 'src' of null.
My Edge console says Unable to set property 'src' of undefined or null reference.
This is the line that is causing the problem:
imgElem.src = imgArr[a];

This is the whole code:

"use strict"
var a = 0;
var imgArr = ["sl0.jpg", "sl1.jpg", "sl2.jpg"];
var imgElem = document.getElementById("img");

function changeImg() {
  imgElem.src = imgArr[a];

  if (a < imgArr.length - 1) {
    a++;
  } else {
    a = 0;
  }
}

<button type="button" onclick="changeImg()">Click me</button>

I would appreciate it if you could explain the problem. The source obviously isn't null, since it's referencing an "object" in the array.
Edit: As suggested by AlbertoSingaglia, I tried to find the imgElem in console. It found it in Firefox, while it didn't find it in Chrome.

A: Where does your script resides in the html markup? is it in the head?
That might be the problem because in that case it will run before the html has rendered.
Try one of these things:
1) move script tag to just before the body ends.

or
2) move line var imgElem = document.getElementById("img"); inside the function changeImg()
like:
"use strict"
var a = 0;
var imgArr = ["sl0.jpg", "sl1.jpg", "sl2.jpg"];

function changeImg() {
  var imgElem = document.getElementById("img");
  imgElem.src = imgArr[a];

  if (a < imgArr.length - 1) {
    a++;
  } else {
    a = 0;
  }
}

French and Creole In Louisiana
Adapted from Tulane University FREN 4110/6110
What is "Cajun" French? What is Louisiana Creole? Where do they come from? Do Cajuns speak Cajun and Creoles speak Creole? This course seeks to develop a better understanding of the complex linguistic situation of francophone Louisiana, from its origins to the present day. We will begin with the arrival of French-speaking colonists and enslaved Africans in the colonial period and the subsequent development of Louisiana Creole. Chapter two will examine the political, social, and demographic changes of the nineteenth century that allowed French language and culture to flourish before going into rapid decline following the Civil War. In chapter three, we assess the current situation of French and Creole in Louisiana and look at efforts to preserve and promote them. To give students a more concrete idea of just what we mean by "Louisiana (Cajun) French" and "Louisiana Creole," Chapters Four and Five present the most salient structural features of each of these varieties in a comparative perspective. Finally, Chapter Six tries to make sense of the often confusing ways in which language and ethnic labels are used in Francophone Louisiana.

Chapter 1 of 5
Chapter 1 Linguistic Developments in the Colonial Period
The sustained presence of the French language in the Gulf South dates to the year 1699, when the French Canadian brothers Bienville and Iberville founded Fort Maurepas near present-day Biloxi, Mississippi, followed by Fort Louis de la Mobile in 1702 and New Orleans in 1718. The earliest European settlers, who were primarily from France and French Canada, but also from the German-speaking region of Alsace as well as from Germany and Switzerland, came into contact with American Indians speaking a variety of languages, including the trade pidgin known as Mobilian Jargon. The first shipment of enslaved Africans to Louisiana arrived in 1719, adding to the linguistic diversity of the colony. Approximately 5,000 Africans were brought to Louisiana between 1719 and 1743, the year the last slave ship arrived during the French period. The Spanish, who controlled the Louisiana colony from 1769 to 1800, resumed the slave trade to Louisiana as they greatly expanded the colonies plantation economy. Despite a Spanish administration and the arrival of some 2000 Spanish speakers from the Canary Islands in the late 1770s, Louisiana remained resolutely French in
character. Indeed, the French-speaking population was significantly augmented between 1764 and 1785 by the arrival of as many as 3000 Acadian exiles following their expulsion from their homeland by the British in 1755.
It is likely that the different varieties of French spoken by the many francophone groups who came to Louisiana during the eighteenth century—including settlers, administrators, soldiers, indentured servants, and prisoners—underwent a process of koìneization by which the most significant linguistic differences were leveled out, resulting in a new and unique variety of French widely shared among the colonists, many slaves, and some American Indians, and that served as the basis for what we know today as Louisiana (or "Cajun") French. It was also in the course of the eighteenth century that contact between African slaves and francophone colonists gave rise to the Louisiana Creole language, which is first mentioned in the transcript of a slave trial from 1792, in which it is referred to by the Spanish word Criollo.

Chapter 2 French and Creole in the Nineteenth Century: The Transformation of the Linguistic Landscape
Having reverted briefly to French control in 1800, the Louisiana colony was sold to the young United States in 1803. Paradoxically, it was during the first decades of Louisiana's American period that French language and culture reached their zenith, as French newspapers, literature, theater, and music flourished. It was at this time that what Michael Picone has dubbed "Plantation Society French"—a variety closely resembling modern Standard French—came to have a strong presence in Louisiana. The name reflects the fact that the presence of this language variety was made possible in large part by the wealth of the plantation economy based on sugar and cotton, which attracted continued immigration from France and other former French territories and also made it possible for wealthy Louisianans to educate their children in French and to maintain their ties with France through travel. The most significant francophone population to come to Louisiana's shores in the nineteenth century were some 10,000 inhabitants of the former colony of Saint-Domingue—present-day Haiti—who, having left to escape the Haitian Revolution, made their way to Louisiana in 1809 and 1810 after several years spent in Cuba (though smaller numbers had already settled in Louisiana in the two previous decades). Approximately one third of this population consisted of whites, one third slaves, and one third free people of color. Their arrival significantly augmented both the French- and the Creole-speaking populations of Louisiana. Moreover, many of these former inhabitants of Saint-Domingue were highly educated and made major contributions to the cultural, economic, and political life of Louisiana, and of New Orleans, in particular. For example, Louisiana's first French-language newspaper, Le Moniteur de la Louisiane, was founded by refugees from Saint-Domingue, as was the Collège d'Orléans. Among the notable literary achievements of the early nineteenth century were numerous French-language novels, including Mercier's L'habitation Saint-Ybars, and Armand Lanusse's famous collection of poems by Free People of Color, Les Cenelles, published in 1845. The economic devastation wrought by the Civil War would bring these cultural developments to an abrupt halt, sending French language and culture in Louisiana into rapid decline.

Chapter 3 Decades of Decline
After the Civil War, immigration to Louisiana from France dwindled, and Louisiana francophones were unable to maintain the kind of regular contact with that country that had been possible in the ante-bellum period. The status of the French language declined as political and economic power came increasingly to be concentrated in the hands of Louisiana's Anglophone population. French speakers either assimilated linguistically to "American" society or retreated into their close-knit circle of friends and family to preserve what was left of their culture. In 1916 education was made compulsory by the Louisiana constitution, and when in 1921 English was declared to be the only language of instruction in public schools, French-language education became limited to a few private schools. For the next two or three generations, children who grew up in exclusively French-speaking homes suffered difficulty in learning, as well as humiliation, when they arrived at school only to find that they could not speak or understand the language of instruction and that their native language was prohibited on the school grounds. To make matters worse, the particular variety of French they spoke was often denigrated as corrupt or "broken" French, or worse, as something less than a "real" language. Louisiana Creole was even more strongly stigmatized than Louisiana (Cajun) French. Internalizing such negative attitudes towards their language, and determined that their own children should not suffer as they had in school, many chose to teach them only English, such that French and Creole ceased to be transmitted in the home. Not surprisingly, the French and Creole languages tended to best be preserved in rural and poorer areas that featured tight-knit francophone communities and, often, limited access to education. For this reason, French and Creole have virtually disappeared as native languages among locally born New Orleanians, but often continue to be spoken among the elderly in rural areas and smaller towns and cities in south Louisiana.

Chapter 4 A French Renaissance in Louisiana
By the 1960s, immigrant and minority groups in the United States were challenging the assimilationist ideology that had pressured them to give up the heritage languages and cultures that set them apart from English-speaking mainstream American society. Francophone Louisiana was not untouched by the wave of ethnic consciousness raising that swept the country, as many in Louisiana began to openly express pride in their French cultural and linguistic heritage and to work to preserve them. These efforts led in 1968 to the founding by the Louisiana legislature of the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL), whose mission it was "to do any and all things necessary to accomplish the development, utilization and preservation of the French language as found in the state of Louisiana for the cultural, economic and tourist benefit of the state." Through a series of formal agreements, CODOFIL began bringing in teachers from France, Belgium, and Quebec to staff French classes in Louisiana's schools. While this led to controversy over CODOFIL's focus on Standard French rather than local varieties, the "Foreign Language Associate" program remains a mainstay of language preservation efforts today, especially in staffing the growing number of French immersion programs, which some see as the key to the preservation of the language in Louisiana. Also beginning in the 1960s and continuing until today, "Cajun" language and identity, once stigmatized and associated with poverty and ignorance, underwent a remarkable rehabilitation to become objects of pride. Politicians such as Edwin Edwards found it advantageous to identify themselves as Cajun, and the Cajun label was increasingly used to market food and music throughout the U.S. and abroad. Cajun music became immensely popular and remains today one of the principle domains for the use of French. While most efforts at promoting and preserving French language and culture beyond the domain of education were focused on the Cajun community, Creoles of color also began working for recognition. Early efforts, such as the founding of the "UnCajuns Committee," took the form of a reaction against the intense focus on Cajun people and culture in southwest Louisiana, but subsequent Creole organizations chose not define themselves in opposition to Cajuns. These include C.R.E.O.L.E., Inc., the Louisiana Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University, and the Louisiana Creole Research Association (or LA Creole). Zydeco music, associated with the Creole of color community of southwest Louisiana, grew in popularity, though it is more often sung in English than is Cajun music, which tends to be sung in French.The French revival movement also gave rise to a new generation of writers, many of whom published their work in the landmark collection Cris sur le bayou, which appeared in 1980. The following year, Creole poet Sybil Kein published a collection of poetry in Louisiana Creole titled Gumbo People. In subsequent decades numerous collections of poetry and other writings in French and Creole have been published, often by younger writers. Some of these, such as Kirby Jambon's L'Ecole gombo, have been published by Louisiana's unique francophone press, Editions Tintamarre, which was founded by Dana Kress at Centenary College and focuses on publishing contemporary Louisiana authors as well as nineteenth-century Louisiana titles that are out of print.

Chapter 5 What is Louisiana ("Cajun") French?
Louisiana French—more commonly known as "Cajun" French—is the most widely spoken variety of French in the state today. As we saw in Chapter One, this language likely had its origins the in contact among speakers of different varieties of French who arrived in Louisiana from different French-speaking regions, including Quebec, Acadia, and various provinces of France. Since the Louisiana Purchase, and especially in the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, it has been heavily influenced by English in its pronunciation, its grammar, and, especially, its lexicon. While many who speak the language consider themselves Cajuns, it is also spoken by others—including Creoles of color, white Creoles, and American Indians—who do not identify themselves as Cajuns. The close association of the term "Cajun" with one particular ethnic group makes its use problematic in reference to a language variety spoken by several different ethnic groups. The term "Louisiana French" is preferred here because it is ethnically neutral and therefore better suited to refer to a language that is not exclusive to Cajuns.
A few of the hallmark features that distinguish Louisiana French from Standard French include:
– An "r" that is apical rather than dorsal—i.e., that is articulated with the tip of the tongue rather than the back of the tongue—and is pronounced something like the "d" in the word cider.
– First and second person plural pronouns that take the forms nous-autres 'we/us' and vous-autres 'you' (pl.) as opposed to Standard French nous and vous.
– A third person plural subject pronoun ('they') that frequently takes the forms ça, eux-autres, or eusse as opposed to Standard French ils or ells.
– Progressive aspect expressed by être ('to be') + après (lit., 'after') + the infinitive, a structure unknown in Standard French but that corresponds to the English progressive to be V+ing: Jesuis après manger 'I am eating' (cf. Standard French Je mange or Je suis en train de manger).
– Verb paradigms that, thanks in part to the pronouns nous-autres, vous-autres, and eux-autres/eusse/ça, which tend to take verbs conjugated in the third person singular, are simplified compared to those of Standard French, as illustrated by the conjugation of boire 'to drink'; note that regardless of spelling—bois or boit—the verb in Louisiana French is pronounced the same in all persons (/bwɑ/), whereas there are three different oral realizations of the verb in Standard French:
Je bois nous buvons je bois nous-autres boit
Tu bois vous buvez tu bois vous-autres boit
Il/elle/on boit ils/elles boivent il/elle/on boit eux-autres/eusse/ça boit
– A great number of words that are either not found in Standard French or have a different form or meaning in that variety; some of these, such as asteur 'now' (cf. maintenant), amarrer 'to tie' (cf. lier), and tirer 'to milk (a cow)', are found in other dialects of French, while others, such as boscoyo 'cypress knee' and zydeco 'Zydeco music', are particular to Louisiana.

Hayley Wickenheiser Biography and Wiki:
Hayley Wickenheiser is a Canadian ice hockey player who is largely regarded as the best female hockey player in the history of the sport. She was born on August 12, 1978, in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Wickenheiser is the all-time leader for Canada in international goals (168), assists (211), and points. He has won a total of four gold medals in the Olympic Games (379). She also has the distinction of being the first woman to score a goal in a professional men's league.
When Wickenheiser first began playing ice hockey, her father had constructed a rink in their backyard for her to use. After relocating to Calgary with her family in 1990, she competed for the province of Alberta at the Canada Winter Games held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in 1991. She was not only the youngest player on her team but also the tiniest, since she competed in a competition for adolescent females under the age of 17, in which she was eligible to participate (at 5 feet [1.5-metres] tall). During the competition, she was responsible for three goals, one of which was the game-winning goal that helped Team Alberta win the championship game and the overall competition. Wickenheiser was determined to be the most valuable player in the competition (MVP).
In 1994, Wickenheiser was a member of Team Canada that competed in the first-ever women's world hockey tournament, which was held in Lake Placid, New York. Wickenheiser remained the youngest player on her squad even after she became 15 years old. She participated in three of Canada's games, recording one assist while doing so, to help the country win the gold medal.
At the world championship held in Kitchener, Ontario in 1997, when Wickenheiser was just 18 years old, he emerged as an offensive powerhouse. She led Team Canada in scoring with nine points and assisted on the game-winning goal in overtime as Canada beat the United States 4–3 in the title game. In all, she had a plus–one rating for the tournament. Later on, Wickenheiser was the captain of the Canadian women's hockey team that won the world championship in 1999 and 2000. However, she was unable to compete in the world tournament in 2001 due to a knee injury. The United States of America defeated Team Canada in the game for the gold medal at the 2005 women's world hockey tournament. This was the first time that Canada had lost this game.
With eight goals and six assists, Wickenheiser established a new record for the most points scored by a Canadian player in a women's world hockey tournament in the year 2007. Team Canada won its first global title in 2004 by defeating the United States 5–1 in the game that decided who would play for the gold medal at the event that took place in Winnipeg. Wickenheiser, who succeeded Cassie Campbell as captain of the team, was voted Most Valuable Player of the Tournament.
During the 2012 Women's World Hockey Championship, Wickenheiser exhibited exceptional leadership as a team captain. After losing to the United States of America 9–2 in the preliminary round, Team Canada was able to come back and win the gold medal by defeating the United States of America 5–4 in overtime. After that, she was a vital part of Canada's run to silver at the world championships in 2013 and 2016.
Wickenheiser was also a force to be reckoned with at the Olympic Games. Nevertheless, despite Canada's domination at the world championship in 1997, the team was not certain of winning an Olympic gold medal at the Games the following year. The United States of America claimed victory in the first Olympic women's hockey competition with a 3–1 victory against Canada at the Nagano Olympic Winter Games in 1998. Wickenheiser would finish in second place, which would earn him a silver medal.
However, she would not have to hold out for gold for very long. When the Olympic Winter Games were held in Salt Lake City in 2002, Team Canada won its first Olympic gold medal with a 3–2 victory against the United States. Wickenheiser was named the tournament's most valuable player, and Canada was awarded the gold medal. Wickenheiser finished tied for first in the competition in both goals scored (seven) and points scored (ten).
Hayley Wickenheiser Profile-
Also Known As: Hayley Wickenheiser
Zodiac sign: Leo, Birthdate: 12 August 1978, Place of Birth: Shaunavon, Canada, and age ( 44 years) (As 0f 2022)
Father: Tom Wickenheiser
Mother: Marilyn Wickenheiser
Set of skills: Hockey player
In order for Canada to claim victory against the United States at the Olympic Winter Games held in Turin in 2006, it was anticipated that Wickenheiser would need to turn in another impressive performance. It came as quite a shock when Sweden defeated the United States in the semifinals, setting up an unusual matchup between Canada and Sweden for the gold medal. After guiding Canada to a 4–1 victory in the game for the gold medal, Wickenheiser was once again selected as the tournament's Most Valuable Player (MVP). He led the competition with 17 points and 12 assists.
At the Olympic Winter Games held in Vancouver in 2010, Wickenheiser earned her third gold medal in the women's hockey competition. Wickenheiser was selected to carry the Canadian flag at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Winter Games that were held in Sochi, Russia, in 2014. These games took place in 2014. During the Olympic competition, Wickenheiser had two goals and three assists for a total of five points in Team Canada's five victories, which led to the country's fourth straight gold medal.
Wickenheiser participated in a men's hockey league in Finland during the 2002–03 season, playing for HC Salamat. During that time, he had two goals and nine assists. Wickenheiser made history on January 31, 2003, when she scored a goal in a men's professional hockey league. She was the first woman to do it. In addition to that, she was a skilled softball player and competed for Canada on the national team in the sport at the Olympic Games in Sydney in the year 2000.
The 88 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) who sent athletes to compete in the Winter Olympics in Sochi set a new record for the number of NOCs that took part in a Winter Olympics. The athletes competed in 98 different events, which is the highest number in the history of the Winter Games. Twelve of these events were brand new, the most notable of which was the women's ski jumping and slopestyle events, which are disciplines of skiing and snowboarding for both men and women and combine downhill racing with freestyle tricks.
The Dutch speed skating team destroyed the Olympic record by capturing 23 of the 36 medals that were available to be won in the discipline of speed skating at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. This performance was the most dominating showing by a single nation in one event at any Winter Games. (The Austrian Alpine Skiing Team, who competed in the Turin 2006 Olympic Winter Games and won a total of 14 medals, was the team that held the previous record.) Ireen Wüst, a Dutch speed skater, amassed a total of five medals at the 2014 Olympics, making her the athlete who won the most medals overall (two golds and three silvers).
Her compatriot Sven Kramer added three more medals to his collection by winning two golds (both in Olympic record time) and one silver during this Olympic competition. Russia's Viktor Ahn, who had previously competed in the Olympics for South Korea under his given name, Ahn Hyun-Soo, won three gold medals in short-track speed skating to bring his lifetime Olympic total to six and establish himself as arguably the greatest short-track speed skater of all time. Ahn previously competed in the Olympics for South Korea under his given name.
After the conclusion of the Games, Russia was awarded the most gold medals (13) and the most medals overall (33). Its most controversial victory came in the women's figure skating competition, where an unheralded skater from Russia named Adelina Sotnikova defeated the reigning Olympic champion from South Korea named Kim Yu-Na. This occurred despite the fact that Kim Yu-Na skated a programme that many observers considered to be the winning programme. Bode Miller, at the age of 36, became the oldest Alpine medalist ever when he took the bronze in the supergiant slalom, and Mikaela Shiffrin, at the age of 18, became the youngest Olympic slalom champion in history when she won the slalom. Both of these notable finishes occurred during the Alpine skiing competitions.
Marit Bjorgen of Norway won three gold medals, bringing her career Olympic gold total to six, which is the highest ever for a female Winter Olympian. Norway and Sweden dominated the cross-country sports, as the two nations grabbed a total of 11 medals between them. Sweden and Norway tied for first place. The overall individual Winter medal record was also set at Sochi. This record was set when Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjrndalen won gold medals in the 10-kilometre sprint and the mixed team relay events, bringing his career Olympic total to 13 medals. This broke the record that had previously stood for the overall individual Winter medal record. Another female biathlete who made headlines was Darya Domracheva of Belarus. She became the first female biathlete in history to win three gold medals at a single Olympiad, and she also won the first Winter Olympic gold medals for a female athlete in the history of Belarus. Both of these achievements put her in the history books.

I'd be glad to do it but you probably will not like my fee. :D Seriously though, if you don't get anyone willing to do both, have you checked into just renting a Uhaul for the day or a Home Depot truck at a hourly rate? If you do the pick up yourself, the installation can be done by a good handy person.
Jyothi, yes Kevin is right A Home depot truck is about $19/hr and half and a Uhaul is 14.99 for a day. Did you buy the appliances by any chance at Appliance mart in Marietta?
I like Kevin's idea. I think you could post this request on Craigslist and probably get a cheap offer from someone who needs some quick cash, but you are better off with someone really reliable doing the install. You don't want to mess up the installation of a range or dishwasher. Could cause an expensive, messy problem.
Doesn't hhgregg offer installation? The range (typically) is a straight forward process, but the dishwasher is not always. For liability reasons, I would be very careful who you choose for this installation - risk factors for water problems later! If handyman.. be sure you get strong referrals!
I'm with BSB on this one. DO check out whoever you have do the install. Check with the Better Business Bureau and any RECENT references they can provide. BE careful, some of the smoothest con men come across as the best in the business. DO NOT take their word for it. I am sure you will find a good local resource. Best of Luck!

Virginia Task Force 2 returns home
By: Nick Boykin
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – After spending 12 days assisting island territories and countries in the Caribbean, the 60 members of the Virginia Task Force 2 returned to Virginia Beach early Saturday morning.
The team arrived at Norfolk International Airport around 2:30 a.m. and were transported by buses to the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center. They had originally met at the center before deploying to the Caribbean Sept. 4.
The task group spent almost two weeks in the Caribbean, and worked in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Johns and St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands.
The task force had originally left for San Juan, but with Hurricane Irma making its way through the Caribbean, the task force was called to help in St. Thomas.
Typically the task force deploys right after a hurricane strikes, this time VA-TF2 was deployed just ahead of the storm's arrival. This action was taken out of concern that Puerto Rico and the neighboring US Virginia Islands in Irma's path would be inaccessible after the storm hit, delaying the response time for members of the FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Team. After riding out the storm in a secure place, VA-TF2 went right to work.
VA-TF2 has been providing a variety of services to help those affected by Irma in the Caribbean and is one of several FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Teams located across the nation.
The Virginia Beach Fire Department is the sponsoring agency for VA-TF2 but in addition to VBFD, firefighters from Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, James City County and Williamsburg Fire Departments make up the team headed that are in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
Three non-affiliated members of the task force include a doctor and canine handlers. Combined, the task force members specialize in heavy / technical rescue, HAZMAT , water rescue, structural collapse, and all aspects of search and rescue operations.
"A lot of door to door searching homes completely pancaked or brought down to nothing and confirming there's nobody in that rubble. That's what we're doing for the community," said Chief Michael Barakey, the Assistant Team Leader of the Virginia Task Force 2.
The devastation is unlike what the team has seen before. Barakey said the islands look like a tornado slashed through them. Trees are snapped in the same place and so are cacti.
"That's a new thing for our team, just seeing that wind damage where before we're used to seeing, at Harvey, the heavy rain while we're trying to rescue people," said Barakey.
The task force had completed a variety of operation while deployed to the Caribbean.
The task force searched and visited 1,543 structures, Airlifted four people to St. Croix working with the Kentucky National Guard, evacuated 16 people from St. Thomas and St. John, marked 708 structures as damaged, failed or destroyed.
The task force also had one other task while deployed in the Caribbean, which Barakey said stood out to him, when we spoke to him by phone before the team returned Saturday.
"There were two elderly people who were disabled in a completely devastated home. They had no food or water and could not move. So it took our team about 45 minutes to cut up the switch back to actually get to them. If we didn't show up, I don't how long it would have been until any of the locals got to them. So that's a very proud moment for our team," said Barakey.
All of the members of the team, including the two canines, returned in good health and in good spirits, said a release form the Virginia Beach Fire Department. The task force is currently on a 48 hour stand down.


Doitforthevillage won the feature race at Warwick in great fashion yesterday in his 5th win of the season.
Up against some stiff opposition, the 8-year-old put in a fantastic performance under Paddy Brennan to come home at the head of the field in an exciting finish to the UBS Wealth Management Novices Handicap Chase. The win takes Paul's record seasons prize money total up to over £145,000, nearly £30,000 better than his previous record total, which he set in 2013/14.
It's the yard's 15th winner of the season, and they've ensured I in the process that every owner in the yard has had at least one winner this year. Add the 41 place finishes the yard has delivered this season to the wins and that's 56 place finishes from 112 runs. Meaning our owners have enjoyed the winners enclosure in over 60% of races this year!
With the season ending in a few short days, we are off to Exeter tomorrow, hopeful that Mount Vesuvius can deliver the win that will take us to a record 16 wins in a season and the big 100 career jumps wins for Paul. We'll all be pushing to finish this campaign with a bang, and get ready to go even bigger next season!
We are now taking a very limited number of orders for the 2017/18 season, so if you would like to be part of next year's success contact us today!

Muret Fled From London
Was Summoned for Illegal Practice of Medicine.
[By Cable to The Tribune.]
London, Sept. 18. – Dr. Ernest Muret lived at No. 21 Compton Terrace, Islington, several months, and had a brass sign on his door which read: "Modern School of Languages. The only system by which a fair knowledge of a language can be obtained in one month. Lessons from one shilling."
A card on the door bore the address, No. 12 Dorset Square, which is near Regent's Park and the Baker street station. But at this address the present landlady said she knew nothing of Dr. Muret.
At the Compton Terrace address Muret lived alone and very quietly. He got few pupils and his venture was a failure.
Later he lived at Gloucester Chambers, Gloucester street, Queen's Square, where he also used the name "Dr. Muret." The landlord of Gloucester Chambers said Muret lived there as a married man. At that time he was employed in Hugo's school of languages.
Vera Harris, who was seen with Muret when he lived here, has a home with her mother, at No. 13 First street, Walton street, Chelsea. She and her mother are in Dover for a fortnight's stay.
Under the name of E. Stein, Muret has been a fugitive from England since April 29, 1911. He was discharged from Hugo's school of languages in 1910 for padding accounts, and in April, 1911, he was summoned by the British Medical Association for falsely representing himself as a medical practitioner.

ABB expands Smart Lab to Support Smart Grids and Cities
May 20, 2015 by Jeff Shepard
A facility for simulating the behavior of grids and electrical systems now integrates and interconnects more components from all ABB divisions, promoting cross-business collaboration and an "Internet of Things, People and Services". The power demands of a hospital, an airport or even a whole city can be simulated inside a single room – that's one of the capabilities offered by ABB's Smart Lab, based at its Medium Voltage power products site in Dalmine, northern Italy. This state-of-the-art facility allows engineers to reproduce the demands of large-scale electricity networks under controlled conditions, helping them identify innovative approaches to managing such networks and aiding smart grid development.
Originally inaugurated in 2012, the lab has now been enhanced after incorporating inputs from customers, research centers, universities and specialists. The "next-generation" Smart Lab was inaugurated on May 19, 2015. The original facility included distribution network components, such as medium and low voltage switchgear, protection relays, current and voltage sensors and related communication devices, as well as the monitoring system to control the network. It now includes components across ABB divisions, offers new simulations and represents more megatrends.
For example, water and gas sensors, SCADA and robotics technology have been added, while new simulations include those for radial and meshed networks, as well as for microgrids. In fact, the lab itself can be considered an example of a microgrid in its own right, which runs on electricity from the rest of the Dalmine site. Here, energy produced by solar panels installed on site is stored in batteries and converted by inverters into the facility's power supply.
Work inside the laboratory can offer solutions for some key trends and issues. These include smart grids, energy efficiency and storage, greater use of renewables, rural electrification, and integration of components and systems, which ABB views as part of the evolving 'Internet of Things, Services and People'.
A significant cause of change to today's grid, for example, is the increase in generation from renewable sources. This can be accommodated by the evolution to smarter grids, which are capable of coping with more distributed and intermittent generation, such as that from renewables. Smart grids are highly automated and innovative and offer a significant level of system reliability, flexibility and accessibility.
In addition to supporting the integration of more renewable energy, it is hoped that these intelligent power solutions will help mega-cities address the growing need for reliable power as ABB demonstrates its commitment towards a better world.

Google released a developer preview of its new Google Assistant SDK.
Google is allowing you to build in the Google Assistant into any of the projects you are developing. Using the Google Assistant SDK, you can now extend what you are doing in IoT projects such as toys or other smart devices as well as add the functionality to your applications.
The Google Assistant functionality can be used as is, or you can extend it with your own actions. With the SDK, you'll be able to tap into features such as adding voice control and natural language processing. By using the assistant code, you'll be able to obtain audio (spoken responses) as well as text translations of voice commands. This means you will be able to send captured voice input from your solution that you can then send to the API to process.
Specifically, you will be able to have interactions with users by using Google Conversation Actions. These actions are invoked by the Google Assistant. In the actions, you'll be able to build these actions to execute the code you want to occur. Using the API and Actions, you'll be able to define the triggers for starting an action, the dialogues that can occur, and the execution (or fulfillment) that occurs when the trigger happens. This is all defined within the Conversation API.
You can now develop Google Assistant into your solutions on a Raspberry Pi 3 as well as on some of the other Linux systems. Google has included a gRPC API, which is a Python open source client. You can find sample code on GitHub at https://github.com/googlesamples/assistant-sdk-python. The example code can help get you started. It provides code to tap into the Google Assistant Actions, including doing the necessary authentication.
The API is a developer preview (Alpha) at this time and is free to use in the development process. It does have a limit to the number of daily request that can be made. Additionally, this release appears to be focused primarily on Google Assistant Actions. Other features, such as Google Assistant Embedded are not available at this time.
The following video from Google is a bit of an ad, but it also does a good job of hitting some of the highlights of what can be done with the SDK.


I suggest that you check / contact the organizer nearer the date, in case there have been changes made to the following dates and venues.
21st January 2018 - Elm Court Centre, Mutton Lane, Potters Bar, EN6 3BP.

Q: General approach to reuseing functions/classes in Java I wrote the class GtfReader for an older assignment. The class basically reads a special tsv file and sorts the information into classes. So far so good.
Now the next assignment(already completed) also requires a gtf reader, so I just reused the one from the old assignment.
What bothers me is, this time I don't need all the information the reader extracts. I'm wasting memory/performance for stuff I don't use and that could be filtered out from the beginning.
My question is how can I modify the class/functions to work optimally with both projects ?
What would be the general approach in such a case ?
My plan was to pass a "mode" parameter to decide if the additional data is needed or not, but I doubts that's good practice.
Here is an example:
public Map<String, List<String>> tsv_reader(String gtf_file) {
        Set<String> names = new HashSet<>();
        names.add("gene");
        names.add("transcript");
        try(Stream<String> s = Files.lines(Paths.get(gtf_file))){
            return s
                    .filter(line -> !line.startsWith("#") && !names.contains(line.split("\t")[2]))
                    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(line -> StringUtils.substringBetween(
                            line.substring(0, line.indexOf(";")), "\"", "\"")));

        }
}

This function extracts all lines of the file, ordered by a unique ID, that is shared by lines of the same group.
Now let's say I want to add a list of IDs to filter by, but in case the list is empty, it should read all lines.
Again this is just an example. I just want a general approach for these kinds of problems.

A: For your specific example, simply add an argument that specifies what you are interested in:
// extracted for readability
private static String extractId(String line) {
    String start = line.substring(0, line.indexOf(";"));
    return StringUtils.substringBetween(start, "\"", "\""))
}

public Map<String, List<String>> tsvReader(String gtfFileName, Predicate<String> validIds) {
    Set<String> badKeys = new HashSet<>();
    badKeys.add("gene");
    badKeys.add("transcript");
    try (Stream<String> s = Files.lines(Paths.get(gtfFileName))){
        return s
                .filter(line -> !line.startsWith("#")
                           && !badKeys.contains(line.split("\t")[2]
                           && validIds.test(extractId(line)))
                .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(line -> extractId(line)));

    }
}

To use, simply pass a predicate that will perform additional filters on the ID. Or pass an empty predicate to keep the old non-id-filtering behavior:
tsvReader("foo.gtf", id -> Integer.parseInt(id) < 100); // returns 1st 100 ids
tsvReader("foo.gtf", id -> goodIdSet.contains(id)); // using a map
tsvReader("foo.gtf", id -> true); // returns all ids

In the general case, making code that works well in one place work well in other places with different requirements is hard, and there are both reasons to refactor it to accomodate the new requirements -- and reasons to leave it as-is and simply write new code.
Note that, if you are worried for speed, using streams is not that good of an idea. For example, extracting ids just once instead of twice may make a difference in processing times. For non-stream code, you can just keep it in a variable.
For example, single-use code is often clearer and faster than code that accommodates multiple requirements all at once. Trying to refactor wildly differing code-bases to share more things can lead to very strange designs that are harder to code, debug and maintain. See YAGNI

DUI Accidents/Injury/Death
DUI Hit and Run - Frequently Asked Questions
In certain situations, a driver may be charged with both a DUI offense as well as hit and run. These cases are taken very seriously by prosecutors and judges and penalties can potentially be very severe. The following are some of the more frequent questions that people have when dealing with both DUI and hit and run charges.
Can I Be Charged with Both Hit and Run and DUI?
People often ask if they can be charged with both a DUI offense and a hit and run from the same incident. Drivers who are involved in a DUI collision and then are alleged to have left the scene of the collision can be charged with both crimes, and it is not unusual to see a criminal complaint alleging violations of California Vehicle Code Section 23152 VC (DUI) and California Vehicle Code Section 20002(a) (hit and run).
An officer may respond to a collision and may be able to quickly locate and apprehend the alleged hit and run driver. Drivers can be charged with hit and run if they drive away from a collision scene or even if they simply walk away. If the police quickly locate the alleged hit and run driver and believe that the person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the suspect will also face DUI charges.
How Can the Police Prove a Hit and Run Driver Was Under the Influence at the Time of Driving?
In many DUI cases, the officer will actually observe a DUI suspect driving and then pull that driver over. In hit and run incidents, it may be more difficult to prove that a suspect was driving a vehicle and was under the influence at the time of driving.
In such cases, investigators will rely on witness statements placing the suspect as the driver of the vehicle. In addition, the suspect will be asked questions about whether or not they were driving and whether or not they had been drinking earlier. In cases where a hit and run driver is immediately caught, it may be easier to prove that he or she was under the influence at the time of driving. When a driver is not found until much later, it may be more difficult to prove that the suspect was legally intoxicated when he or she was involved in a DUI collision. This especially becomes difficult if the suspect consumed alcohol after the collision occurred but before coming into contact with law enforcement.
Is It Ever Permissible to Leave the Scene of a Collision?
Under the law, a driver who has been involved in a traffic collision has an obligation to remain at the scene of the collision and to exchange insurance and other information with the other parties involved. Failure to remain at the scene will result in hit and run charges.
However, in some circumstances a driver may be able to raise certain legal defenses to hit and run. In some situations, a driver involved in a collision may face an immediate threat of physical violence from other people involved in the accident or at the scene. In this situation, a driver may able to raise a duress defense if charged with hit and run, as he or she left the scene only to avoid the immediate threat. This would not be a defense to DUI and the driver would still be criminally liable for this offense.
If you or a loved one have been involved in a DUI and hit and run offense, it is imperative that you discuss your case with a knowledgeable DUI lawyer immediately.
