Crimson, Tigers, Remain Unbeaten; Quakers Win
By | October 17, 2006
It was an exciting and dominating weekend for the Ivy League, as teams completed their non-conference slates this past weekend in preparation for the grind of the rest of the regular season. Finishing with an overall record of 16-8 outside the Ancient Eight, Ivy teams Harvard, Princeton and Yale are still gridlocked amongst the top of the league standings with all but a few weeks left to play to determine league supremacy.
Yale 26, Lehigh 20
Yale sophomore tailback Mike McLeod was up to his usual tricks this past Saturday at the Yale Bowl, propelling the Bulldogs (4-1, 2-0 Ivy) in overtime to a 26-20 win over Lehigh (2-4, 1-0 Patriot) with his one-yard touchdown run on Yale's first possession of the extra stanza. Despite seeing Lehigh rally from 11 points down to force overtime, the touchdown was all Yale needed as the Mountain Hawks failed field goal attempt in extra time spelled doom for Lehigh head coach Andy Coen's squad. Yale quarterback Matt Polhemus hit wide receiver Chandler Henley for a 20-yard pass to set up McLeod's late game heroics. McLeod rushed for a career-best 204 yards in the win.
Harvard 24, Lafayette 7
It wasn't much of a contest this past Saturday in Cambridge, Mass., as No. 15 Harvard (5-0, 2-0) made quick work of Lafayette (2-4, 1-0) in its 24-7 victory at Harvard Stadium. Crimson quarterback Chris Pizzotti threw two touchdown passes while Harvard sparkplug, running back Clifton Dawson, tied the Ivy League record for career rushing touchdowns by registering his 52nd rushing score en route to gaining 144 yards. Despite getting out to an early lead, Lafayette couldn't handle Dawson, who accounted for half of Harvard's 400 yards in total offense.
Princeton 17, Brown 3
It was a rare edition of Ivy Friday night lights at Princeton Stadium in front of a national ESPNU audience this past weekend. Tigers quarterback Jeff Terrell threw two second-half touchdown passes to ensure that Princeton (5-0, 2-0) stayed undefeated in league play, setting up a crucial battle for bragging rights atop the Ivy standings when Princeton plays Harvard this weekend. The game against Brown (1-4, 0-2) proved to be an offensive struggle for the Bears as the Princeton defense allowed only 157 yards of offense in the entire contest. Terrell went 17-of-27 for 185 yards in the contest, while also adding 57 yards on the ground.
Penn 16, Columbia 0
New Columbia head coach Norries Wilson and his upstart Columbia squad were shown up by an impressive Penn side this past Saturday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. The Quakers (4-1, 2-0) used a balanced offense and a stout defensive effort to blank the Lions (3-2, 0-2). Penn running back Joe Sandberg compiled his third 100-yard game of the season while receiver Matt Carre also eclipsed the century mark through the air with his four catches for 102 yards. If there was one bright spot for Columbia on the day, it was the workman-like effort displayed by safety Tad Crawford, who recorded a league season-high of 22 tackles in the contest.
Holy Cross 24, Dartmouth 21
Homecoming wasn't as enjoyable in Hanover, Vt., as it was in Ithaca this past Saturday, as Dartmouth (0-5, 0-2) lost a heartbreaker in overtime to a pesky Holy Cross squad. Mike DeSantis' third field goal of the afternoon won the game in overtime for the Crusaders (5-2, 2-0) after Dartmouth had missed a long field goal in its first try to score points in the extra stanza. Holy Cross, behind a steady and consistent running game, moved the ball to the goal-line, where DeSantis then worked his magic.
Red Back Home Against Colgate
Deckhead:
Volleyball faces non-league foe
Even though Cornell and Colgate are not in the same conference, a rivalry has emerged between these two volleyball teams since their first meeting in 1973. Today, they will face each other for the 74th time, as the Red looks to improve its 51-21-1 head-to-head record against the Raiders.
Colgate Hands M. Soccer Another Loss
By Harrison D. Sanford October 18, 2006
Taking shots wasn't difficult for the men's soccer team last night — it was getting them past the goalie that proved to be the real challenge. After taking 20 shots, easily topping Colgate's 11 on goal, the Red left Van Doren field in Hamilton, N.Y., with another mark in the loss column, 2-0.

HOW LEGAL/FINANCIAL PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED BY NYC CO-OPS AND CONDOS
> LEGAL/FINANCIAL > THE "GOOD-GUY GUARANTY"
The "Good-Guy Guaranty"
Frank Lovece in Legal/Financial
A "good-guy guaranty" is common in New York City commercial leases, but it's a mystery to many co-op and condo boards. It allows a failing business to vacate a commercial space before the lease is up – without being liable for the remaining period's rent.
It sounds like it favors the failing business, but it was actually conceived by landlords since it helps avoid expensive litigation and a lengthy eviction process – during which time the landlord isn't receiving any rent. With a good-guy guaranty, cooperatives and condominiums with commercial space stand a reasonable chance of renting out the space to a paying business – while avoiding a fat legal bill. It's critical for boards to understand their commercial leases.
Which brings us to the curious case of Kenneth and Daisy Huang, who rented the commercial space in the 18-story co-op at the corner of East 69th Street and First Avenue, where they opened Splendid Cleaners. Things did not go splendidly, however, and halfway through the four-year lease, the Huangs wanted out of the lease – and more than $600,000 in forthcoming rent.
The co-op board pursued the owners for the business's remaining obligation. After Daisy Huang filed for bankruptcy, her husband argued in court that the sublease contained a good-guy guaranty. He couldn't point to any specific language, but he relied on the fact that if a contract contains ambiguities, then New York State courts have to interpret it in favor of the non-drafting party.
But the sublease had no ambiguities. In fact, it stated that the Huangs' rent obligation was "primary, absolute, and unconditional, and not subject to counterclaim, offset, deduction, credit or defense of any nature whatsoever." Not much ambiguity there.
Therefore, the judge ruled in October that this sublease had no good-guy guaranty. "What is more," he wrote, "[it] expressly states the [tenant's] liability shall remain until the tenant vacates and fulfills its obligations under the sublease." The court found Huang personally liable for the $600,000 in unpaid rent.
Co-op and condo boards need to weigh the pros and cons of a good-guy guaranty with their attorney, then decide whether or not to include one in the commercial lease. Boards also need to be aware that any ambiguity in a commercial lease may lead a judge to interpret that a good-guy guaranty exists even if the board didn't intend for one to be there. Your board's attorney is likely to be familiar with good-guy guaranties, but it's good to make sure, since a lawyer specializing in residential real estate might not necessarily be completely versed in commercial leasing.
Double-checking that way – that's called being a smart guy.

Q: What are the use cases for this static reflection code? This is Oliver Hanappi's static reflection code he posted on stackoverflow
private static string GetMemberName(Expression expression)
    {
        switch (expression.NodeType)
        {
            case ExpressionType.MemberAccess:
                var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expression;
                var supername = GetMemberName(memberExpression.Expression);

                if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(supername))
                    return memberExpression.Member.Name;

                return String.Concat(supername, '.', memberExpression.Member.Name);

            case ExpressionType.Call:
                var callExpression = (MethodCallExpression)expression;
                return callExpression.Method.Name;

            case ExpressionType.Convert:
                var unaryExpression = (UnaryExpression)expression;
                return GetMemberName(unaryExpression.Operand);

            case ExpressionType.Parameter:
                return String.Empty;

            default:
                throw new ArgumentException("The expression is not a member access or method call expression");
        }
    }

I have the public wrapper methods:
public static string Name<T>(Expression<Action<T>> expression)
    {
        return GetMemberName(expression.Body);
    }
public static string Name<T>(Expression<Func<T, object>> expression)
    {
        return GetMemberName(expression.Body);
    }

then added my own method shortcuts
        public static string ClassMemberName<T>(this T sourceType,Expression<Func<T,object>> expression)
    {
        return GetMemberName(expression.Body);
    }
    public static string TMemberName<T>(this IEnumerable<T> sourceList, Expression<Func<T,object>> expression)
    {
        return GetMemberName(expression.Body);
    }

What are examples of code that would necessitate or take advantage of the different branches in the GetMemberName(Expression expression) switch? what all is this code capable of making strongly typed?

A: Many things that require you to pass magic numbers (a generic term that encompasses what people sometimes refer to as "magic strings") can make use of expressions instead to provide type safety.
A common example is in the implementation of the INotifyPropertyChanged interface.
Typically, your property setters include a call like the following:
string _name
public string name
{
    get { return _name; }
    set
    {
        if(value.Equals(_name)) return;
        _name = value;
        OnPropertyChanged("name");
    }
}

Here you are passing the string "name" to identify the property that was changed. This gets nasty when your team lead says "Make all public properties start with a capital letter... and prefix them with the class name." Now you change your property to PersonName, but what is the likelihood you remember to change "name" to "PersonName"? Not high, especially if you didn't write the code originally. Still, the project will compile and you'll spend 20 minutes debugging.
Instead, you use expressions:
string _name
public string name
{
    get { return _name; }
    set
    {
        if(value.Equals(_name)) return;
        _name = value;
        OnPropertyChanged(x => x.name);
    }
}

...and your OnPropertyChanged implementation uses the code you posted to get the name of the property out of the expression body.
Now when you change the property to PersonName, the code won't compile until you also change the expression to read x => x.PersonName. This is your type-safety.
The code apparently uses the switch because the expression may contain nodes of any type; it is not necessarily a MemberExpression to access a property -- it could refer to a method call, the parameter of a method, etc.
That isn't all necessary if you are just implementing INotifyPropertyChanged, but maybe you are also using it to validate parameters or something; the switch just covers the bases for any member access expression, and throws if you give it anything else.

A: *

*MemberAccess : foo => foo.SomeField or foo => foo.SomeProperty

*Call : foo => foo.SomeMethod(...)

*Parameter : foo => foo

*Convert : foo => (int)foo.Something (perhaps implicit)

The question of choosing the type of rims deserves a close attention: today we will figure out what types of rims are, how they differ, and what their consumer characteristics are. Rims by type of production are divided into stamped, cast, forged and prefabricated. The first two types are absolute leaders in terms of prevalence, the third ones are the choice of enthusiasts, and the fourth ones are actually exotic, but within the framework of the material, we will say a few words about them. In case you are travelling to San Diego, the place, where people are fond of various unusual car rims, you are always able to hire AVR car there.
These are the rarest and most exotic type of rims. Their main feature is that they consist of several parts: they can be divided into the rim and the front part, which is attached to the rim with bolts.
Stamped rims are the most cheap and easiest to manufacture. Such rims are made of black rolled carbon steel by stamping separately the rim and the front part, and their subsequent connection by welding. After production, the rims are painted with enamel, which protects them from the aggressive external environment. Precisely these rims are installed on the basic equipment of new cars, as well as purchased by the owners of cars, for whom not the appearance of the rims is important, but only its functionality.
The main advantages of the stamped rims are softness and maintainability. These are interrelated characteristics: the fact is that due to the material used and the manufacturing technology, these rims retain the plasticity inherent in the metal. Thus, at the moment of bump, such rims get crumpled, taking upon themselves and quenching a part of the impact energy, and the damaged rim can later be repaired, retaining most of its performance characteristics.
There are also some disadvantages of the stamped rims. The main claims of the owners are associated with a large weight and utilitarian design of such products, as well as their weak protection from the external environment. Weight is more important than it may seem. After all, a large unsprung mass leads to a slight deterioration in dynamics and an increase in fuel consumption.
Cast rims, as the name implies, are made by casting in a pre-prepared matrix. Unlike stamped ones, they are made not of steel, but of lighter alloys: as a rule, aluminum, and in the case of expensive products, magnesium and titanium. After production, the rims can be additionally painted, polished or varnished.
The main advantages of cast rims are less weight compared to stamped rims, significantly greater strength, corrosion resistance, as well as a much more aesthetic and diverse design. Due to the use of lighter material, the weight is less. Higher strength and corrosion resistance are also a consequence of the materials and manufacturing technology used: the cast rim is able to withstand a much greater load without deformation and does not rust even if the surface is damaged.
The disadvantages of a cast rim are the low spasticity and the fragility resulting from this, the high cost and complexity of repairs, as well as the higher price of the rim itself.
Forged rims are the "elite" of the mass market. They are made from light aluminum alloys containing magnesium and titanium by forging and subsequent machining. The blank, stamped at high temperature, retains the internal structure of the metal, and the design of the rim is usually determined on a milling machine.
The main advantages of the forged wheel are outstanding lightness and durability, combined with the beauty of the product. Manufacturing technology provides even less weight and even greater strength compared to the cast rims – which is why forged rims are considered the best choice for the car owner-enthusiast. Another important property of forged rims is plasticity: with a critically strong bump, it does not crack, but it gets crumpled, which slightly facilitates the possibility of recovery.
The above described rims could seem common, when you see these rims. In 2006, at the SEMA international exhibition of automotive equipment, the Italian Forgiato company showed the concept of transparent wheels, which are now released under the Radurra label. According to the creators, the strength and practicality of these rims is not worse, than in the common ones, but they differ significantly in price – the cost ranges from 2 thousand to 5 thousand dollars for one wheel. The Italians believe that the only drawback of their invention is that the dust, (after grinding the brake pads), is too noticeable on transparent rims.
Welded spoke wheel designs appeared only in the middle of the 20th century. They were installed on Fort T cars. However, the tires used at that time differed significantly from modern tires, they were made of white rubber and the service life rarely exceeded the distance of 3,5000 km. Modern wheels with a variety of rims delight motorists and provide an opportunity to take care not only of their durability, but also of their attractiveness.


On December 22, 2015, the Federal Circuit in In re Simon Shiao Tam ruled that Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act is unconstitutional, as it violates an individual's constitutionally protected, First Amendment right to free speech. Tam involved an Asian-American musical artist attempting to register the name THE SLANTS, for use in connection with "entertainment, namely, live performances by a musical band", with the United States Patent & Trademark Office ("USPTO"). The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ("TTAB") affirmed the USPTO examiner's finding that the mark was disparaging to people of Asian descent and refused to register the mark. On appeal, Tam included an argument that Section 2(a) was unconstitutional as violating his First Amendment rights. However, the Federal Circuit upheld the original disparagement ruling, denying registration to the mark, and also indicating it was bound by precedent to conclude that Section 2(a) was constitutional.
The precedent previously set in In re McGinley, 660 F.2d 481, 484 (C.C.P.A. 1981) dictated that, because Section 2(a) only prohibits federal registration of a mark, and does not bar an applicant from using a mark of its choosing in commerce, the provision does not implicate the First Amendment. Questioning this rationale, the Federal Circuit, sua sponte, ordered a rehearing en banc, and concluded by majority opinion that the disparagement clause of Section 2(a) did indeed violate Tam's constitutionally protected right to free speech under the First Amendment.
The Tam decision may be critical to the on-going battle regarding the National Football League's Washington Redskins. In 2014, the NFL Redskins franchise was dealt a serious blow when the TTAB cancelled all six of the team's trademarks on the grounds that the marks disparaged individuals of Native American descent, and were therefore in violation of Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act. The team appealed the decision before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in part on the grounds that Section 2(a) is unconstitutional.
The Fourth Circuit is not required to follow the decision in Tam, and could reach an alternative result, as Federal Circuit decisions are not precedential and binding upon the Fourth Circuit. However, Federal Circuit rulings are controlling for the United States Patent & Trademark Office ("USPTO"), the agency responsible for registering federal trademarks. Therefore, practically speaking, the ruling in Tam means that disparaging trademarks may now be registered for federal protection with the USPTO.
Despite this admission, the government has not completely given up the fight. Attorneys for the USPTO say they believe Tam was wrongly decided and are considering appealing the Tam ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition, they claim to reserve the right to argue that the "scandalous and immoral" ban could independently pass constitutional scrutiny. Given this, one should not be too quick to attempt to register all disparaging, scandalous or controversial marks for shock-value just yet. Such registrations still may be cancelled down the line, should the U.S. Supreme Court decide to hear the case and reaches an alternative conclusion.
"We maintain that the federal trademark registration program does not restrict speech, but rather subsidizes and encourages the use of certain marks in commerce," wrote the government. "The government's refusal to subsidize certain types of marks comports with the First Amendment."

Despite looking like the byproduct of Barbra Streisand's romantic liaisons with a horse, Sarah Jessica Parker has still managed to carve out a career for herself in the industry. Not only by becoming a hugely likeable and charming actress, but on top of that, she's also demonstrated her brilliant comedic ability and serious fashion sense. So to celebrate the release of her first romantic comedy in five years, ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME, we're now taking a look back at some of her other roles over the years.
What do you do if you're having problems with your teenage daughter? Well, if you're Maggie (Parker), a stressed out, uptight, single mother who teaches writing at a New York City college, and your daughter is Summer (Rosie Day), a troubled teen who has problems opening up: What you do is book yourselves a holiday to a Tuscan village which holds fond memories from your youth. However, almost immediately the chance for some much-needed mother-daughter bonding time hits a road bump, as they run into Maggie's handsome former lover, Luca (Raoul Bova), still a bachelor and living with his eighty-year old mother (Claudia Cardinale).
Based on Alison Person's novel of the same name, this comedy follows the exploits of Kate Reddy (Parker), a high-powered finance executive who acts as the sole breadwinner for her family. Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan, Olivia Munn, and Christina Hendricks, all co-star, with the central focus being on Kate's endless battle to juggle marriage, children, and a high-stress job.
Sarah continued her run of romantic comedies in this fish out of water flick, starring alongside Hugh Grant as Meryl and Paul Morgan. He's a Manhattan lawyer, seeking forgiveness after an infidelity he had, whereas she has moved on, pouring her focus into her career. But one evening, as he walks her to an appointment, pleading for a second chance, they witness a murder, and worse still, the murderer sees them. Quickly, the FBI demand that they both enter the witness protection program until the perpetrator is caught, and sends them off to a tiny ranch town called Ray, Wyoming. Forced to stay with the aging sheriff and his gun-toting wife, the Morgans find themselves with no alternative but to dissect their relationship, one piece at a time, all the while butting heads with the locals thanks to their stuffy New York ways.
Matthew McConaughey stars alongside Parker in this rom-com as Tripp: an attractive bachelor with a great job, a great car, and a great house. Trouble is, he lives with his parents and they want him out. So what they do is hire Paula (Parker), an "interventionist", who specializes in 'launching' young men who are stalling at flying the nest. Her fail-safe formula for doing so involves dating him first, which is a ploy that has worked every single time, up until now. Too many secrets threaten to ruin the best laid plans, as well as the niggling doubt in Paula's mind that she might actually really like Tripp.
Picture the scene. A young man returns home for the Christmas holidays, with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend in front of his family. Problem is, the young man's family doesn't like the look of his girlfriend, prompting her to get her sister involved, only to then make matters even worse. Parker, the girlfriend in question, was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in this star-studded romantic comedy-drama, which included the likes of Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Luke Wilson, and Elizabeth Reaser, all of whom played the Stones, whereas Dermot Mulroney played the boyfriend, and Claire Danes played the sister.
Do I have to write anything here? I mean, seriously? For whatever reason, this HBO TV series was a pop culture phenomena, and finally answered the question "is it okay to be a single woman past the age of thirty?". Answer: YES. Yes it is. Parker starred as the shows linchpin, Carrie Bradshaw, along with three other cast members all making their way into the zeitgeist. Cynthia Nixon played the no-nonsense Miranda. Kristin Davis played the prim and proper Charlotte. And Kim Cattrall played a... a... errr... how can I put this nicely? How about, a very adventurous Samantha, who showed her skin to all in sundry. While the films which followed received mixed reviews, critics are generally in consensus when discussing the series, saying it was the best of a bad bunch, ha!
Dead presidents, silly reporters, and a hoard of yelping aliens out to conquer the world! What is there not to love about this cult classic, and one that appears fairly frequently on pundits' greatest comedy lists! On the whole this sci-fi spoof boasts a plethora of non-stop gags and a fantastic cast, including the likes of Parker alongside Pierce Brosnan, Michael J Fox, Jack Nicholson, Annette Bening, and Glenn Close.
When certain men reach a certain age, some of them decide to ditch their wives for a newer model. But of course, said ditched wife isn't always going to take this shoddy treatment like a nice little lady, especially since it took them years to help their husbands climb up the ladder of success. Reunited at a funeral, three old friends, played by Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, and Bette Midler, are determine to turn their pain into gain and come up with a plan to hit their exes where it really hurts -- their bank accounts. SJP takes an uncharacteristically villainous role as the catty younger mistress Shelly, who comes up against Bette Midler's Brenda.
This timely tale of teenage rebellion was one of SJP's first major film roles, and features brilliant dance choreography as well as great performances. When teenager Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon) and his family move from the big-city of Chicago to a small Midwestern town, the culture shock is huge... really HUGE. Despite his best efforts to fit in, he's living somewhere where rock music and dancing are illegal, and refuses to take it lying down. With a little help from his new friends, including the beautiful Ren (Lori Singer) and her best friend Rusty (Parker), he attempts to take on the establishment, with toe-tapping results.

Biblioteca Foro Romano-Palatino
The Biblioteca Foro Romano-Palatino ("Biblioteca Palatina") was established by Giacomo Boni. Having become Director of the Excavation of Antiquities of the Roman Forum, he wished to accompany the archaeological investigations he had undertaken since 1898 with the creation of a museum and a Library. The original nucleus of the Library consisted of volumes published between the 16th and 19th centuries as studies of Roman antiquities and critical editions of Latin and Greek authors, as fundamental support for the knowledge of the ancient world. To these were added the most important contemporary treatises on history, anthropology, history of religions, topography, archaeology and Greek and Roman epigraphy, as well as a large holding of periodicals and a remarkable collection of graphic materials and photographs of archaeological subjects. The result was an exceptional correspondence between written texts and graphic, cartographic and photographic material that enriched the research and study centre of the Roman Forum.
Over the years the work of increasing the Library's holdings of books has continued through purchases, donations and exchanges, so that from the thousand initial volumes, recognisable by Giacomo Boni's ex libris and the notes of possession (signatures, acronyms, stamps, dedications), it has grown to the current 30,000 volumes.
At present the Library is housed in premises in the Museo Nazionale Romano-Museo di Palazzo Altemps, Piazza S. Apollinare 46, 00186 Rome.

Q: Are the elements of a javascript object initialized in a specific order? I have a function like that:
parsers[1] = function(buf) {
    return {
        type: "init",
        name: buf.readUTF8String(),
        capacity: buf.readUInt32(),
        port: buf.readUInt16()
    };
}

Do I have any guarantee that name, capacity, and port will be initialized one after the other? Otherwise, the buffer will be read in the wrong order.
I could of course fall back on:
parsers[1] = function(buf) {
    var ret = {type: "init"};
    ret.name = buf.readUTF8String();
    ret.capacity = buf.readUInt32();
    ret.port = buf.readUInt16();

    return ret;
}

A: Thanks to @joews' comment, I can answer my own question.
From the link 11.1.5 Object initializer:

Syntax
ObjectLiteral :

*

*{ }

*{ PropertyNameAndValueList }

*{ PropertyNameAndValueList , }
PropertyNameAndValueList :

*

*PropertyAssignment

*PropertyNameAndValueList , PropertyAssignment

In short, the object constructor takes as arguments either nothing, a list of initialization values, or a list of initialization values followed by a comma.
That list of initialization value is composed by a PropertyAssignment or a list of initialization values followed by a PropertyAssignment, meaning basically a list of PropertyAssignment by recursion.
Now the question is in the last PropertyNameAndValueList , PropertyAssignment, is there a specific order in which both components are evaluated?

The production
  PropertyNameAndValueList : PropertyNameAndValueList , PropertyAssignment
  is evaluated as follows:

*

*Let obj be the result of evaluating PropertyNameAndValueList.

*Let propId be the result of evaluating PropertyAssignment.

*...

The order will be guaranteed if 2. is sure to follow 1..
From 5.2 Algorithm conventions:

The specification often uses a numbered list to specify steps in an algorithm. These algorithms are used to precisely specify the required semantics of ECMAScript language constructs. The algorithms are not intended to imply the use of any specific implementation technique. In practice, there may be more efficient algorithms available to implement a given feature.
...
For clarity of expression, algorithm steps may be subdivided into sequential substeps.

So, the expected initialization order is element after element, from what I can gather.

A: As in many other languages, I would not rely on any "order" of properties of an object nor on the way they are initialized or values are assigned to.
If an "external" order is necessary, I would try to achieve that with a kind of mapping of these properties.


This lively and richly-illustrated book is all about the special plants that Christian grows in her small garden in Cornwall, which she calls her Living Plant Museum. The plants are mostly chosen because she likes them, but also for their fascinating and colourful history. Christian tells us which collectors found her treasures — and the amazing challenges they faced bringing them back to our shores — with many quotes from diaries and personal writings which bring her hero plantaholics to life. She has dug deep into the Linnean, Kew, British, Royal Horticultural and Natural History Libraries to unearth all kinds of new or little-known facts.

"'Minding Frankie' is a feel-good, heartwarming, laugh through the tears holiday treat at ICTC"
Posted November 16, 2017 by Debbie Wanecski & filed under Uncategorized.
Review by Peter Hall, Buffalo Rising
THE BASICS: MINDING FRANKIE, a play by Shay Linehan [say LIN-uh-han] adapted from the novel by Maeve Binchy, presented by the Irish Classical Theatre Company, directed by Chris Kelly, a "two-hander" starring Kristen Tripp Kelley and Christian Brandjes in a variety of roles, runs through November 26, Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 3 & 7:30 and Sundays at 2 at the Andrews Theatre, 625 Main Street (853-ICTC). Full service bar in the "Chris O'Neill lounge"www.irishclassicaltheatre.com Runtime: a touch over two hours with one intermission.
THUMBNAIL SKETCH: Noel Lynch is a Dublin drunk barely holding on to his job as a clerk in a building materials warehouse when he gets a call to go to the hospital to see Stella, a woman he spent a few days with at an outdoor music festival. Puzzled, he shows up, and it turns out she has cancer, she's dying, and she's pregnant, and he's the father. She has chosen him to take care of ("mind") the soon-to-be-born daughter "Frankie." At first, reluctantly, but then fiercely, he agrees. Meanwhile, the embittered spinster social worker, Moira Tierney, wants Frankie to be adopted by responsible friends of hers who will then make Moira Frankie's godmother. Complications ensue in this "laugh through the tears" Irish comedy.
THE PLAYERS, THE PLAY, AND THE PRODUCTION: Right from the start this play is a winner. Now, just as it takes a village, or at least a Dublin street, to raise a child, it takes as many to produce a show, so singling anyone out is not to diminish any other element. Having said that, Kristen Tripp Kelley, who always delivers a professional performance, is on a whole other level here. Seamlessly moving from portrayals of the dying Stella to the uptight Moira, and others in-between as needed (including wonderful moments as Noel's dad, and later as Malachi, Noel's AA sponsor) Kelley's acting chops get a workout and she's up for it. Oh yes; yes she is. Christian Brandjes plays the drunk, Noel, and many other characters, too, so ably that having only two actors was enough for me.
A lot of ICTC's shows are a bit gritty, the people are mean and do not seek redemption, and the laughs and tears are hard won, often leaving me wondering: "Could we please just have a nice play that tugs at the heartstrings and lets us walk out of the theater feeling good about the world?" Well, I got my wish. That play is called MINDING FRANKIE.

Chilling texts reveal Melissa Towne threatened to 'illegally take' daughter before slitting her throat
By Deepak Kumar
Melissa Towne apparently sent threatening messages about illegally taking Nichole away before murdering her in the woods (Screenshots/KHOU)
Warning: This article contains graphic content that could be traumatic for some readers. Discretion is advised
TOMBALL, TEXAS: Mellisa Towne, who allegedly confessed to killing her 5-year-old daughter, Nichole, had previously sent an alarming chain of text messages where she threatened to illegally take the child away as she had lost complete custody. James Bradshaw Jr, Nichole's father, had full custody. The spine-chilling text messages came before the horrific murder as Towne brought her daughter Nichole to Spring Creek Park in Tomball, Texas to commit the crime on Sunday, October 16. Towne slit her throat and then strangled her for 30 to 45 minutes while covering her head with a trash bag
The 37-year-old Texas mother had previously been arrested for harassing Kathy Bradshaw, Bradshaw Jr's mother, in a string of messages that argued about Nichole in May 2018. Kathy Bradshaw reported receiving a chain of 49 ranting messages from Towne in merely four hours as explained in her report to the police. Nichole is mentioned as 'Chanel' by Towne in the messages and other times as well but it is unclear why. The affidavit reads that Kathy received a series of "unwanted text messages from Melissa Towne ... covering a gamut of topics, and varying from vulgar to incoherent," on May 11, 2018. In a hard-to-decypher Towne contacted Kathy the next day saying, "Where is Chanel Kathy because y'all really need to either go give her back to the hospital or y'all need to return her back to me," as reported by The US Sun.

She continued, "You're not getting the documents you're not getting the trucks you're not getting the vehicles this s*** is f****** b******* there's even a f****** hospital bill my f****** mile-wide between me and she knows y'all won't be able to afford. Just f****** give me the baby back y'all were [sic] f****** lose in court I'm not even joking with you all f****** send you the f****** s*** and a text message give me my daughter back seriously for safety reasons hazardous reasons and some more s***." The court documents obtained by the outlet explain that Towne lost custody of Nichole due to unspecified mental illnesses.

Ferociously texting to no avail, Towne said, "Honestly my IQ doesn't even hit the charts the only thing I have a little bit of trouble with is freaking spelling. Less than an hour later, Towne claimed of taking possession of Nichole. She wrote, "I am illegally taking possession over Chanel and you need to go get your mental health warrant done and everything you can still see her the bradshaws [sic] can still see her but for now on for the safety and sake of everybody has it [sic] as wise she's coming back to me. Just have him initial it please off of your cell phone and I'll run it down on his piece of paper that I have the courts [sic] and I'll have him legally sign the papers in front of me please." Towne did not receive a single reply to any of the 49 messages she sent. Fast forward to October 2018, she pleaded guilty to harassment and was sentenced to 45 days in Montgomery County Jail.

'Constant danger': Life after leprosy, a long neglected disease1 hr ago
Maharashtra's infectious diseases hospital plan in Pune remains on paper
"The new government is yet to give its approval to the plan," said an official from the state health department. The plan to set up a welle quipped infectious diseases hospital in Pune goes back to 2019, soon after the H1N1 pandemic.
Umesh Isalkar
Pune: The state's plan to set up a Rs 150-crore dedicated infectious diseases hospital on a 12-acre plot at Yewalewadi in Kondhwa Budruk has failed to take off in spite of a government-appointed expert committee submitting i ts recommendations on the facility' s design and service in July this year.
"It is a 13-year-old proposal, which the state government under former CM Uddhav Thackeray revived by constituting a 10 member committee. The panel was told to submit its recommendations on the overall design of the hospital. Though the committee submitted its suggestions in July, the plan has remained on paper," the official said.
In addition to Covid-19 and H1N1 (swine flu), the proposed hospital was expected to be fully equipped to quarantine, isolate and treat patients with even more dangerous infectious diseases, such as Ebola, Cremean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever, Nipah and Zika. Activists criticized the government's laxity in executing the plan.
"It took them 13 years to finalize the design of the hospital. Let's now see how man y months or years the government takes to make the facility fully functional, " said health activist and medical practitioner Dr Sanjay Dabhade.
Despite related attempts, Maharashtra health minister Tanaji Sawant and acting director of the state health department Dr Nitin Ambadekar could not be reached for their comments.

Separation Week in the BIG TEN…
The Golden Gophers edge 'Cats 20-17
EVANSTON — Minnesota (5-2, 1-2) snapped a two-game losing streak as James Manuel broke a 7-7 tie with a 24-yard third quarter interception return and Chris Hawthorne turned another Wildcat turnover into a 34-yard field goal in the fourth.
Host Northwestern (4-3, 0-3) dropped its third straight.
Ailing head coach Jerry Kill, on indefinite leave after a series of epileptic seizures, watched from the coaches box as Manuel picked off Wildcat quarterback Trevor Siemian with 1:22 for a go-ahead score. The Gophers made it 17-7 just 87 seconds later on Hawthorne's field goal after recovering a Wildcat fumble.
NOTE: Tracy Claeys has served as head coach.
Hawthorne's 38-yard field goal with 5:24 remaining made it 20-10. Northwestern cut the deficit to 20-17 on a 10-yard touchdown strike from Siemian to Tony Jones with 2:07 remaining.
Gopher quarterback Philip Nelson was 8-of-11 for 112 yards, including a touchdown strike to Derrick Engel. Running back David Cobb rushed 20 times for 103 yards.
Minnesota's defense shut down a promising Northwestern drive deep into Gopher territory early in the final frame. The Wildcats settled for a 35-yard Jeff Budzien field goal that cut the Gopher lead to 17-10 with 11:09 left in regulation.
After Hawthorne's second field goal, Northwestern converted on three fourth downs in a 75-yard scoring drive that culminated in Jones' 10-yard TD reception.
An important note for the 'Cats was two key Northwestern players were sidelined with reported ankle injuries: tailback Venric Mark and quarterback Kain Colter, who was dressed but only available in an emergency role.
Minnesota hosts Nebraska next Saturday while Northwestern travels to Iowa.
Wisconsin has their way against Illinois 56-32
CHAMPAIGN — Melvin Gordon carried the mail on Saturday afternoon for the Badgers as he rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns to lead the ranked Wisconsin (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) to a 56-32 rout of Illinois. Second running back James White backed him up with another 98 yards in 20 carries and two touchdowns.
"That momentum at the beginning was important," Gordon said. "We knew we had to come out fast, especially on the road. They tried to take it from us but we took right back."
Wisconsin lost defensive leader Chris Borland to injury early on Saturday and even with an early three-touchdown lead struggled to put Illinois away.
Borland, the team's leading tackler, said he hurt his right hamstring covering a punt in the first quarter. He never returned, watching much of the second half in street clothes.
Borland's absence didn't improve Illinois' ability to run. The Badgers entered the game as the 10th-best run defense in the country, giving up 90.1 yards a game. Josh Ferguson led Illinois with just 25 yards on seven carries. Borland's backup, Marcus Trotter, made the most of his shot with a team-high nine tackles.
"I just couldn't play," he said. "It's going to be OK, they've already started to take care of it."
Illinois coach Tim Beckman said defense was a problem for the Illini (3-3, 0-2) , but so was a running game that managed just 72 yards on 29 carries against one of the top run defenses in the country.
"When you play against a team like that, you've got to be clocking on all cylinders," he said. "Defensively, we didn't tackle well in space."
Illinois' offense revolved around quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who had 249 yards passing. Steve Hull caught six passes for 105 yards.
Defense carries Spartans to 14-0 win over Purdue (Associated Press)
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Denicos Allen returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown, and Michigan State's offense finally added an insurance score in the fourth quarter of a 14-0 win over Purdue on Saturday.
The Spartans didn't make it past the Purdue 32-yard line until the fourth, when receiver Tony Lippett threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Gleichert on a trick play.
Michigan State (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten Conference) remains atop the Legends Division but clearly has work to do with the toughest part of its schedule still to come. Purdue (1-6, 0-3) kept it close after being routed by Wisconsin and Nebraska in its first two conference games, but Paul Griggs missed two field goals.
The Spartans entered with the nation's top-ranked defense, and Allen opened the scoring in the second quarter with Michigan State's fifth defensive touchdown of the season. Max Bullough hit quarterback Danny Etling, the ball popped free, and Allen was able to scoop it up and score easily.
Purdue converted a fourth down thanks to a penalty, which gave the Boilermakers the ball at the Michigan State 34 with 9 seconds left in the second quarter. That was as far into opposing territory as either team advanced the ball in the first half, but Griggs was short on a 51-yard field goal attempt.
Griggs also came up short from 41 yards in the third quarter, and Michigan State scored again in the fourth. Connor Cook completed a pass to Macgarrett Kings for 25 yards on third-and-12, and a 26-yard catch-and-run by Josiah Price put the ball at the Purdue 7.
Two plays later, Lippett took the ball on what looked like an end-around, but he threw to an open Gleichert for a touchdown.
Cook went 13 of 25 for 107 yards, although at one point he had only 17 yards on eight completions. Etling was 14 of 25 for 160 yards, but he also threw a crucial interception in the end zone in the first quarter, after Purdue had reached the Michigan State 37 with a fourth-down conversion.
Jeremy Langford had 131 yards on 24 carries for Michigan State.
While the Spartans were sputtering offensively, punter Mike Sadler gave them a lift, landing three punts inside the 10-yard line.

Currently, The Friends School of Portland is one of our greenest building projects and one of the most energy efficient buildings in Maine. The Passive House net-zero school runs on a combination of solar power and minimal heating and cooling systems that go so far as to include students' body heat in the design. Warren Construction Group's air sealing techniques resulted in extremely low blower door tests (.34ACH @ 50p), enabling this minimal HVAC system to provide high-efficiency year-round comfort. In keeping with Kaplan Thompson Architect's contemporary design, we salvaged and milled the logs from trees cut down on the property and incorporated the 24-foot-long boards in the school's Meeting Room. While we enjoyed the building process, our greatest satisfaction comes from watching the students engage with what we've built—including the numerous play structures in the school's back yard.
We could not have asked for a more experienced, practical, and responsive builder. Peter was in on our project from the beginning, generous with his advice, and patient with our process. He has assembled a terrific crew, whom we quickly grew to know and trust. Warren Construction Group has our highest recommendation.

F For Fake
F FOR FAKE (Welles, 1972)
Criterion Collection, Blu-ray, Release Date October 21, 2014
"Up to your old tricks, I see."
"Why not? I'm a charlatan."
What is "F for Fake"?
How do I begin to describe a movie that numbers among its "cast" members not only Orson Welles, but also a Hungarian art forger, Howard Hughes, the cathedral at Chartres, and Pablo Picasso? How do I categorize a movie that can be described equally well as a documentary, a fictional feature, an essay, or even as a super-sized clip show?
OK, I think I know where to start. "F for Fake" is a movie about Oja Kodar. Who is Oja Kodar? Oja Kodar was Welles's partner both in his creative work (she co-wrote "F for Fake") and in life. Oja Kodar is also a woman so beautiful that mere adjectives and adverbs do not suffice to describe her. I have to call in Raymond Chandler for help. Oja Kodar is the kind of woman who could, in Chandler's words, make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window. She's also the kind of woman who could convince Pablo Picasso to give her twenty-two original paintings and… No, that's the ending. Always save the best for last. And you don't get much better than Oja Kodar. Let me start again.
"F for Fake" is a movie about Elmyr de Hory, the world's second greatest art forger (the best is Oja's father but that's a different story.) Elmyr has painted more Modiglianis than Modigliani; he can have three new ones ready for you by lunch if you're willing to wait. His paintings hang on the walls of museums throughout the world, not that he'll ever officially admit to it. And the museum curators and art sellers, well, let's just say they'd rather not ask difficult questions. Elmyr also has a biographer named Clifford Irving who has been a busy man. Not only has he written a book about Elmyr, but he's also just ghost-written an auto-biography of Howard Hughes. Or has he? Hughes denies ever having met the man, though it also appears that Irving's wife just might have walked into a Swiss bank one day wearing a wig and pretending to be a woman named Helga Hughes and…
OK, now I'm getting confused again. What exactly is "F for Fake?" Let me try one more time, and this time I'll just start with the facts.
"F for Fake," released in 1972, is the final feature film completed by Orson Welles. He continued to film actively and obsessively until his death in 1985, but most of these projects (such as "The Other Side of the Wind" and "The Dreamers") remained unfinished due in part to a lack of funding, and also in part to an abundance of ambition. Welles was a tireless craftsman who needed to juggle as many projects as possible to keep himself occupied.
With "F for Fake," Welles intended to create a new type of film which combined elements of both non-fiction and fiction; a personal essay akin to the work of avant-garde documentarians like Chris Marker and Stan Brakhage, though I don't know that Welles cared either way for their movies. Though the bulk of the film ostensibly concerns the story of art forger Elmyr de Hory, Welles weaves Elmyr's story (and Cliff Irving's and Oja Kodar's) into his own biography. As he notes with a wink and a smile, his own career began with a rather (in)famous bit of fakery of his own, the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast which drove hundreds or perhaps thousands (accounts differ) of viewers into a panic over a Martian invasion in 1938. Just as he did in his radio broadcast, Welles is both willing and eager to mix fiction with fact in his "documentary." Indeed, that's the entire point. How else do you tell a story about fakers except by faking it? And what is filmmaking if not the art of fakery, the craft of the magician who, with a little sleight of hand, can make you see whatever he wants you to see?
"F for Fake" addresses many issues, but central to the film is the question of authorship. On one level, there's the question of Elmyr's status as an art forger. Welles repeats a question: "It's pretty, but is it art?" If you can't determine the difference between the original and the fake, perhaps there is no difference at all. In one telling scene, Elmyr forges a portrait and then signs Orson Welles's name (though he misspells it "Wells".) Whose painting is it anyway?
Furthermore, though "F for Fake" is an "Orson Welles film," much of the footage of Elmyr is taken from a documentary shot by Francois Reichenbach, and an early "study" of girl-watching was actually written and filmed by Oja Kodar several years before "F for Fake." Whose film is this, and does it even matter? Welles's suggestion is that all that matters is the final product, and he amply credits the film's other "practioners" – an intentional misspelling – in the opening credits. At one point, Welles stands in front of the magnificent cathedral at Chartres and marvels at its enduring beauty. He describes it as one of the greatest achievements in mankind's history, but notes that nobody ever bothered to "sign" it. It is anonymous, and eternal, and beautiful. It's pretty, but is it art? You bet, says Orson.
"F for Fake" tackles some hefty philosophical issues but it is also a joy to watch solely for its surface elements: Oja Kodar, Elmyr's eel-slick performance, Welles's stentorian voice, Oja Kodar, the kaleidoscopic editing, beautiful paintings, Michel Legrand's music and, of course, Oja Kodar.
"F for Fake" also features Welles at his most playful, a little boy who has never gotten tired of playing with grown-up toys like movie cameras and editing tables. The editing in "F for Fake" is downright silly at times, and wonderfully so. Welles revels in his ability to smash any two images together, and thereby create the rules for his own game in the process. There are many other Orson Welleses in this movie too: Welles the raconteur, Welles the magician, Welles the gossip, and Welles the gourmand. The man loved to eat, and he's not above poking fun at his own girth. In one scene, he hands a platter of utterly decimated lobster to a waiter and tells him to bring the steak au poivre next.
Finally, "F for Fake" is a masterpiece. It is one of Welles' greatest films which, by definition, makes it one of the greatest films of all-time. If we listen only to the Hollywood history, Welles's career was one continuous slide after achieving early greatness. In reality, he was a great filmmaker who continued to make great films at every stage of his career even in the face of endless financial struggles. If you want to count "Citizen Kane" or "The Magnificent Ambersons" or perhaps "Chimes at Midnight" as Welles's best, I won't argue much, but "F for Fake" is certainly not far behind.
The film is presented in its original 1.66:1 aspect ratio. Compared to the 2005 Criterion DVD release, this high-def transfer shows expected improvement in image detail. Grain looks a bit richer as well. However, the improvement is fairly modest. There's nothing wrong with this transfer at all, but I don't know that you could call it a revelation. Just a refinement.
The linear PCM audio mix is crisp, clear, and relatively flat, as is probably appropriate for the source material. Not a lot to say here. Optional English subtitles support the English audio.
Criterion has imported all of the extras from its 2-disc 2005 DVD and included them all on this single Blu-ray disc. Oddly Criterion has added a single new extra with no notice that I have seen.
The new feature is the April 8, 1975 episode of "Tomorrow" hosted by the great Tom Snyder. Snyder has a long (44 min.) conversation with Orson Welles who is in fine fettle, enjoying a super-sized stogie (which just looks normal on the super-sized Welles) while regaling Snyder and the audience with stories from his career. It's not the puff piece you might think. Snyder was a great interviewer and he's not afraid to push back from time to time against the great charlatan, but this is still meant to be a celebration of Welles's career. As I'm sure you know, Welles is a riveting story-teller and there's plenty to enjoy in this new feature.
The repeats from the 2005 disc are as follows.
The film is accompanied by a commentary track by Oja Kodar and director of photography Gary Graver. More a series of observations than the typical wall-to-wall conversation that comprises most commentaries. I liked it a lot. Originally recorded in 2004 and 2005.
Peter Bogdanovich provides another of his numerous introductions (2005, 6 min.) Welles's friend and biographer, Bogdanovich describes the film as "unlike any other." Maybe so, though he acts as if Welles invented the film essay which would be great news to Chris Marker and Agnes Varda, among others.
"Orson Welles: One-Man Band" (1995) is a feature-length (87 min.) documentary made in cooperation with Oja Kodar. It includes footage from several of Welles's unfinished films: "The Other Side of the Wind," "Moby-Dick," "The Deep," and much more. There are also clips of Welles performing magic on stage, and several short comedy films he made late in his career which portray the playful, self-deprecating side he features in "F for Fake." This documentary is an absolute gem that would be worth buying all by itself. Plus it's got Oja Kodar.
"Almost True: The Noble Art of Forgery" (1997): A short feature (52 min) made for the Norwegian Film Institute about Elmyr de Hory. The "straight" version of Elmyr's story. A nice companion piece to the main feature.
"60 Minutes Interviews Clifford Irving" (2000, 9 min.): In 1972, Irving went on a relatively new show called "60 Minutes" to defend himself against claims that his Howard Hughes autobiography was a hoax. He lied through his teeth. In 2000, he was invited back on the show to explain himself.
"Howard Hughes Press Conference" (1972, 20 min.) Hughes held a press conference by phone to deny all of Irving's claims. This feature includes several audio clips of Hughes answering reporters' questions.
And finally we get a nine-minute trailer. Nine minutes? Orson Welles did everything big. More a short film, it includes much footage recorded solely for the trailer. The "trailer" is hilarious, entertaining, and a perfect description of "F for Fake." Naturally, American distributors rejected it.
The slim fold-out booklet includes a very fine essay by film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.
Closing Thoughts:
My earliest memory of Orson Welles is as the host of an alarmist program called "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" (1981) a so-called documentary about Nostradamus's prophecies. I was probably 11 or 12 years old when I saw it, and I didn't have the slightest idea who this fat guy with piercing eyes, a scruffy beard, and a booming voice was. Nostradamus was, of course, a complete fraud (as a prophet, that is – as a physician, he treated many plague sufferers who other doctors wouldn't touch), but when Welles spoke his (very loosely translated) words, he had me convinced. The world was going to end in 1987 when Halley's Comet returned ("when the comet shall run!") and I, for one, was scared to death. For Welles, it was almost true since his own world ended in 1985. I'm willing to bet that he knew it was all fake, though. That's why he was perfect for the job.
He's perfect for this job as well. It's been nine years since I wrote the review posted above and my admiration for "F for Fake" has only grown. It's Welles at his most Welles-ian, and that's the highest compliment I can pay it.

Were Pings Truly From Missing Plane?
The 300-square-mile search area close to where sonic 'pings' were heard in April is not the "final resting place of MH370," the agency leading the hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet said Thursday.
The area was being scoured by U.S. Navy robo-sub Bluefin-21 but there have been no signs of wreckage of the Boeing 777 - another setback in the hunt for the doomed plane.
The search area - some 1,000 miles off the northwest coast of Australia - is where pings originally thought to be from the black boxes of the missing jet were heard in early April by a towed pinger locater.
"The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has advised that the search in the vicinity of the acoustic detections can now be considered complete and, in its professional judgment, the area can now be discounted as the final resting place of MH370," the agency in charge of the search said in a statement.
The ocean floor underneath a wider search zone of 23,000 square miles is now being mapped by a Chinese vessel. It will then be searched by a commercial operator in a mission that is expected to start in August and take up to a year, at a cost of $55 million or more.
Earlier, a U.S. Navy spokesman appeared to downplay an American expert's reported remarks that the pings had likely not come from the black boxes.
Michael Dean, the Navy's deputy director of ocean engineering, was reported saying most countries involved in the search for the jet now agree the sounds picked up by the Navy's Towed Pinger Locator last month in the southern Indian Ocean were emitted by a man-made source unrelated to MH370.
But the Navy then appeared to throw cold water on those remarks.
"Mike Dean's comments today were speculative and premature, as we continue to work with our partners to more thoroughly understand the data acquired by the Towed Pinger Locator," a Navy spokesman said in a statement. "As such, we would defer to the Australians, as the lead in the search effort, to make additional information known at the appropriate time."

Scheveningen was largely abandoned. The only civilians allowed to live there, or to enter the area, were those needed to service the militarised zone (such as shopkeepers, cafe owners and medical staff). Even for them, the beach and promenade were a no-go area. German soldiers were billeted in the empty beach hotels. The paving stones were removed from many streets and used to lay tracks to the bunkers in the dunes. After the panic of 'Mad Tuesday' (5 September 1944), with its rumours of imminent liberation, many German administrators and members of the pro-German National Socialist Movement of the Netherlands (NSB) went to live inside the militarised zone. Oddly enough, children found the streets of abandoned houses a thrilling – if risky – place to play.


In today's News & Notes, Victor Mete has been recalled by the Montreal Canadiens, Carter Hart is expected to get his first career NHL start and Taylor Hall is set to return to action.
The Montreal Canadiens made two transactions Monday night following their 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. The Canadiens recalled Mete from the Laval Rocket after the sophomore defender spent seven games with the team's AHL affiliate. In a corresponding move, the team would send Noah Juulsen to Laval.
Mete was sent to the Rocket earlier this season after playing in 23 games with the Canadiens to start the year. The 20-year-old would record four assists in those games. He also played in 49 games with the Canadiens last season, recording seven assists and failing to find the back of the net in his rookie season.
The Canadiens gave Mete his first taste of the AHL this season after he had a somewhat slow start to the year. With the team struggling to produce on the power play, the addition of a player like Mete could be helpful as he is an inherently better puck-mover than Juulsen.
At the same time, Juulsen will likely log big minutes in Laval while recovering from his facial injuries that are requiring him to wear a cage.
The Philadelphia Flyers have been subject of some major news in recent weeks. There was the original firing of general manager Ron Hextall and the hiring of Chuck Fletcher to fill the role after a short search took place.
This was followed by the news that the team was firing Dave Hakstol as the head coach and replacing him with Scott Gordon under the interim tag, though the original reports had Joel Quenneville as the man being hired for the job.
This time around, the news is more positive for the Flyers as Carter Hart is going to be starting his first career NHL game Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings.
Hart is one of the best goaltending prospects on the planet and could potentially be the savior for the goalie position in Philadelphia. At 20 years old, it seems like that may be a lot of pressure to shoulder. Still, Hart has made it clear time and time again that he is more than capable of stepping up to the challenge.
Improving every season in the WHL with the Everett Silvertips, Hart would finish the 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons with increasingly impressive totals.
He'd finish 2015-16 with a 35-23-4 record with a 2.14 goals-against average and .918 save percentage. He'd follow that up with a 32-11-2 record with a 1.99 goals-against average and .923 save percentage before dominating in his final WHL season with a 1.60 goals-against average and .947 save percentage while going 31-6-3.
In the AHL this season, Hart has a 9-5-1 record with a 3.05 goals-against average and .901 save percentage. While the numbers don't necessarily jump off the page, consider the fact that he's still only 17 games into his professional career.
Hall will return for the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday after missing the team's last two games, according to Lance Hornby. Hall has been out with a lower-body injury but will look to get back on track Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In 29 games this season, Hall hasn't missed a beat from his Hart Trophy-winning season just one year ago. He already has eight goals and 31 points in 29 games and has continued to prove that he is one of the very best players not only at his position, but across the board.


A mixture of high mountain passes, including the 2nd highest on the Kungsleden, and wild birch forest, this is the longest day on the southern Kungsleden. Luckily, the trail is generally in good condition, and the ascents and descents are quite moderate. In general, nothing is too strenuous and a good pace can be maintained throughout the day while taking in the fantastic views. There are 2 wind shelters on the way, each located near the mountain passes.
After 19 kilometers and 2 mountain passes, Serve is a welcomed sight. Surrounded by forest, the huts are spread out across a small clearing.

Promised to make a FSX version years ago, free to all purchasers of the FS9 version.
Not exactly, a free upgrade to an eventual FSX version was promised by Cloud9, but only for those that bought the Phantom up to the end of the month of its release, which was in September 2006.
Checking your order, you bought it in December ( and also got a 50% discount promotion ) so, you would have been excluded by the free upgrade anyway.
I was merely asking where can this product be downloaded from?
You can't, because it was never done, and I doubt Cloud9 will ever be able to do one, since we got out of touch of most of the people that were originally involved with the Phantom. I know for sure that a least one doesn't do flight sim stuff anymore. They were all free-lancers: the only former Cloud9 employee, Alessandro, which is now with FSDT, wasn't much involved in the Phantom.
There was a change of teams a couple of months or so before the Phantom release (if there wasn't, it would have probably never been released). I took over gauge developement for example and, of course, these could be easily ported into FSX but, unfortunately, an airplane is not made with gauges only...
I had a look at it, just to investigate the chance to do something about it but, unfortunately, Cloud9 made that promise when FSX was just about to be released, and some FS9 features the Phantom uses, do not exists in FSX anymore.
After that, SP1 came, which changed a lot of things but, most importantly, SP2 came, that changed another whole lot of things, specifically related to porting FS9 airplanes into FSX.
I would really like to have the Phantom running in FSX myself, and I have spent some time trying to figure out if it can be done but, right now, there are just too many issues to be solved.
In any case, I would like to make it clear that, our agreement with Cloud9 means we do email support for reactivation and installation help, and we have the right to use part of the previous product to create entirely new products, but it doesn't mean we have to fulfill any promise they have made in the past.
Thank you Umberto for explaining. It was much appreciated.

NCRA/ANREC Launches $5 Million MAPL!e Grant Fund
[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]
December 8th, 2020—Ottawa The National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA/ANREC) announced the establishment the MAPL!e Grant. The grant will primarily feature FREE access to our !earshot Digital Music Distribution System, ("!earshot Distro") and other areas that support under-represented artists and musicians in Canada, related to radio.
"Music and radio need each other to succeed," said Barry Rooke, Executive Director of NCRA. "We know live music has been hard hit by the pandemic and funding distribution will help musicians reach new audiences while building a new platform."
The NCRA/ANREC has secured agreements with the majority of national and provincial music associations in the country and is offering access to grants between November 16th and March 31st, 2021 to upload content to the !earshot Distro system. Tens of thousands of musicians, artists and labels across Canada will have a new, environmentally friendly way to distribute their music to stations. Across the participating associations, this totals around $5 million worth of funding.
"We highly value the ability to support under-represented artists," added Rooke. "Artists may choose to self-identify for discoverability or drill down into all the sub and hyper genres for unique music styles in this platform."
The music sector faces challenges including loss of live venues and decline of local print publications which were key to seeking out our new music and features of artists. Local and diverse content can get lost online, which motivated the effort to support under-represented artists. !earshot-Distro has the benefits of carbon reduction with no packaging or transport waste, as well as expanded access to content online without taking up increasingly expensive storage space at stations.

Symantec is buy Platform Logic, a maker of intrusion detection software (IDS) for an undisclosed sum.
The deal will add Platform Logic's AppFire host intrusion prevention software to Symantec's stable of security technology, and gives Symantec new technology for blocking unknown, or "zero day" exploits, Trojan horse programs and spyware.
A Symantec spokeswoman confirmed that an agreement was signed to acquire Platform Logic. However, the company could not share details about the acquisition until "the deal closes", it said.
Platform Logic was founded in 2002 and makes software that uses behavioural detection to protect individual computers, or hosts, from threats. In contrast to traditional anti-virus software that relies on so-called "signatures" derived from samples of new viruses and worms, Platform Logic's AppFire looks for software application and operating system behaviours that are abnormal, and blocks them.
For example AppFire can intercept a virus' or worm's hijack instructions before they are executed by comparing them to a set of typical instructions used by the targeted software application.
The company's AppFire Suite Version 3, released in March, runs on Windows, Solaris and Red Hat Linux servers and PCs.
Symantec already markets and sells host IDS technology, but said that the Platform Logic technology is complementary to what it now has and provides new capabilities for behaviour analysis and blocking, application-specific protection and protection against spyware and eavesdropping programs.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) � Republican Gov. Chris Christie has spent the past few days putting down traffic cones to separate himself from scandal.
With investigations by federal prosecutors and state lawmakers looming, Christie also submitted to an interview Thursday with Diane Sawyer on ABC and another yesterday night on Fox News.
And a vintage, defiant Christie re-emerged yesterday at a Statehouse news conference in which he cracked jokes, jousted with reporters and acknowledged the toll of the scrutiny.
Yesterday, Critchley said the attempt to impugn Kelly's credibility is unsurprising because she might have evidence that contradicts the report's conclusion that no one else in Christie's office knew of the plot in advance.
Republicans beyond New Jersey remain uncertain about Christie's ability to recover politically ahead of the 2016 White House contest.
But Hogan Gidley, a veteran GOP operative, said: "It's clearly been a good week for Chris Christie."

• To whom much is given, much is also expected.
• We will strive to leave the world a better place than we found it.

Quick Mart Opens in Murrieta
BY AMELIA MATTHEWS
MURIETTA, CA – The Quick Mart brand is catching on in California. The grand opening of the store here on Oct 11 helped the brand get a firmer foot in the door. . Among a gathering of family, friends and invited guests, the ribbon was cut by Murrieta Mayor Alan Long officially throwing the store open for business.
Present at the opening were Rajesh Narang, Quick Mart Vice President Sales and wife Monika Sharma.National Senior Sales Representative who are pitching for the brand across the US; Nathan Menard, Quick Mart architect and Charles Watson, construction head. Speaking with India Journal Narang informed that the brand is growing with 85 stores now across the US and 25 under construction. The first Quick Mart store opened in California in Anaheim in 2012 and there are 14 stores under construction at present in California. Narang made it clear at the outset that Quick Mart is not a franchise but a licensing opportunity in today's market where the company offers three concepts for the price of one. It offers the facilities of a C-Store, provides Mail boxes and thirdly, check cashing. " It is clearly a very strong alternative to the competition in the current retail industry," he adds. "Quick Mart offers turnkey franchise business opportunities that will allow you to own and operate your very own store in any city or state you choose for as little as $250,000."
Ayaz Farooqui, owner of the new store was excited about the opportunities and seemed unfazed by the more established competition in the area. An engineer by profession, in a bid to spread his net, he has invested in the store with an aim of opening five more in the near future. Farooqui said what attracted him to Quick Mart was that it does not follow the franchise model like the rest of the competition. There are no franchising fees, no royalty, no advertising, no monthly service fees and to top it all no revenue split so the owner can keep 100 percent of the sales. The owner is free to choose the city and location of the store and is also at liberty to have a wide ranging product line . Farooqui is sure that business with get brisk once the store gets the beer and wine license which is very soon. Giving advice to prospective owners, he said one should go in for locations in cities which do not have a moratorium on alcohol. Temecula is a poor choice as it does not permit sale.
The mail boxes and check cashing facilities will also attract many customers. Farooqui is already thinking of expansion with plans to acquire the adjacent store for more space and provide more products and services for the convenience of customers.
Monika Sharma adds that Quick Mart is financing project costs of up to 50 percent for owners going in for multiple stores (minimum two). Exclusive territory is available for $75,000 which means exclusive right for an entire city. The build-out time is quick, 60 to 90 days after city approval and plan check. The company is growing at 250 percent rate and foresees Quick Mart to be a major player in the retail/convenience store segment. The company is also offering private stock options to senior investors with a decent dividend. Quick Mart also plans to have an Initial Public Offering (IPO)in about two years.
Narang revealed that there were a number of inquiries from prospective store owners at the event, who received a good discount towards the purchase of a store. Guests were treated to a sumptuous lunch and kept entertained by a DJ. The new store is located at 41539 Kalmia, Ste 101, Murrieta, CA - 92562 For more info.
