Cool Hand Luke Blu-ray Review
by Chris McEneany Sep 8, 2008
Cool Hand Luke Blu-ray (1967)
SRP: £17.97
Although the film has always had a soft-focus and very warm palette, and this 1080p VC-1 transfer is certainly no different, Cool Hand Luke has never so looked as good as it does now. It is not a pin-sharp, three-dimensional transfer by any means, but this is a noticeably sharper, cleaner and more detailed image than it has been presented with in the past - that I've seen anyway.
The widescreen print now boasts gorgeous framing that looks much more revealing and better saturated than ever before - the road gang scenes and Luke's escapes provide plentiful backdrops and sun-drenched vistas to captivate and roving the eyes about the screen will prove eminently rewarding. The picture is still soft, however, with edges, un-enhanced, which is nice, not as clinical as you may be used to with hi-def material. The very fine smattering of grain, that is occasionally upped in intensity for only very minute instances here and there, may seem slightly denied its once-filmic quality, leading me to suspect that some partial DNR has been applied, but - and let me stress - this does not hamper the enjoyment of this transfer one iota. In fact, Cool Hand Luke actually appears to have far less processing than many other titles around.
Colours are sublime and beautiful. The film is a definite ode to sun-ambered skin and the sheer proliferation of golden torsos on display bears tribute to the quality of such burnished and orange hues. Interiors feature nice subdued elements, but the glow of the overhead bulbs, the white of all those hard-boiled eggs and, of course, Newman's baby blues shine through with pleasing results. The blues of the prison denim shirts, the small splodges of blood - cuts and a gunshot wound - and the lively brown of the hunting dogs have a vigour that I have not seen before in other editions. What is also nicely presented is the red glow of the police lights and of the symbolic stop light on the bridge in the rain at the climax. This edition is a very smart and obvious improvement over any SD transfer as far as handling the spectrum goes.
But the good stuff doesn't end there.
Details that, before now, have always been submerged in the hot glow of the film's colour scheme now stand proud. The gleam in Boss Godfrey's sunglasses and the clear reflections mounted within them are clean and crisp. The facial details of Newman, Kennedy, Harmon and various others have been well picked-out, although I did find that Anthony Zerbe's Dog Boy seemed to lack anything extra. The grass and scrub either side of the eternal road, the bunks back at the camp, the dusty exercise area, the wooden boards of the clap-built church and the very texture on the prison garb all possess more authentic-looking visual information. The scruffy earth and dust that stipples Luke's back from being knocked on his ass every five seconds during the fight scene is much better delineated than before. The spikes on the barbed wire and the sheen on the streams, the tear in Newman's eye and the clarity on the mocked-up photo that he sends to the inmates also prove to be clearer and more revealing. One scene that, very appropriately, stands up to even closer scrutiny than ever before is the girl washing the car - the soap suds, the spray of the hose and the cascade of the water over the bumpers etc all have a keenness and clarity that was lacking in earlier versions. Again, reflections in the metalwork are much more apparent and Joy Harmon's hair now looks a little more lifelike and defined. Without getting more intimate, there are more bonuses to this sequence that the new transfer displays with gusto, as well. The sand that the guys heave onto the tarmac and the wisps of heat rising off the black stuff can also be seen with more clarity, ensuring that this BD edition of Cool Hand Luke is the most detailed one around.
The 2.40:1 image is often striking, making the most of Conrad Hall's superlative cinematography. As I said earlier, the image doesn't exactly pop with hi-def three-dimensionality, but that doesn't mean that it looks flat either. There is great depth afforded the picture with all those road gang scenes managing to convincingly convey a sense of the scale and isolation of the setting. Views down the road are great and images of the two rows of workers on either side of the frame look tremendous. However, during the first of Luke's escapes, the image noticeably softens, with some of the surrounding landscapes losing that crispness that they exhibit elsewhere. Black levels, for the most part, are more than acceptable, but they are still far from the best around, seeming as dry as the environment on occasion and lacking total solidity. Artefacts and damage are at an absolute minimum. The print has only the tiniest of specks and flecks here and there and noise, blocking or aliasing are so slight that they pose no distraction whatsoever.
All in all, Cool Hand Luke's BD transfer has absolutely no problem "communicating". A very fine 8 out of 10 for a film that is now over forty years old.
This Blu-ray release of Cool Hand Luke is presented with a Dolby Digital mono track that may infuriate some people who feel the film deserves a meatier remix, but is actually a very fine, and solid rendering, all the same. If I had one complaint about it, it would be that it is definitely a tad on the quiet side, dialogue-wise. But, when you think about, there really isn't that much shouting going on and the majority of the talking is either intoned in intimate fashion or merely passed along in breezy, naturalistic conversation. Thus, sadly in comparison to the depth that we can go into when discussing the film's hi-def transfer, there really isn't much more that can be said about its audio capabilities.
But, of note, Schifrin's score is very well presented by this track, with that lackadaisical main theme for Luke and the road gang brilliantly coming across with presence. The occasions when it turns gruffer and with more of a beat - normally when we return to the men at work after a more leisurely interlude - it sounds appropriately forceful and emphatic. Little is provided in terms of depth within the track, in that the sound of distant search dogs yelping or voices emanating from further away don't seem to have any sort of prioritisation. A nice rolling peal of thunder just before the final act does come across well, however, and there is a pure sixties crack! to the various rifle-shots.
Overall, you can't knock this track. It's mono and makes no mistakes. The quiet voices aside - which could, as I say, be a part of the film's audio anyway - this audio transfer nudges itself from a 6 to a 7, if you feel so inclined.
Besides the film's theatrical trailer, we have two great features to dig into. First of all is the commentary from Newman biographer and film historian Eric Lax. This is a fair chat track that imparts much trivia and revealing factoids about the production, the cast, the original book and how Rosenberg and Pearce chose to adapt it, but Lax - almost living up to his name - leaves a few too many lulls in his treatise to really provide your money's worth. He is scene specific and he does offer some great anecdotes and insight, though. The film's existential nature and the meaning of Luke's odd and thankless quest is nicely covered, as is the somewhat controversial ending that the studio insisted upon to make sure that audiences left the cinema with a smile on their face. So, not a bad track, after all.
The only other extra that we get is the half-hour retrospective documentary A Natural-Born World-Shaker: Making Cool Hand Luke. With lots of clips and stills, this relatively new feature comes choc-a-block with participants who all clearly relish the opportunity to wax lyrical about their time in the sun and dust. We hear from George Kennedy and Anthony Zerbe, director Rosenberg and his assistant Moonjean, screenwriter Pierson and original novelist Donn Pierce, composer Schifrin and eternal soapy-girl Harmon (who has not aged as well as the fellers have!!!!) The focus is keen and the main star of Newman - who, unsurprisingly, is a no-show - gets universal and unconditional praise from everyone. Kennedy says of the entire cast, though, that it was "like a hydrogen bomb waiting to go off" and other members of the road gang, Ralph Waite and Lou Antonio seem to agree. But all confirm that the shoot was a happy one and that the movie had classic status stamped all the way through it. Like the film, itself, this feature is deliberately meandering and easygoing, but thoroughly enjoyable with anecdotes from all concerned.
So, although this is heralded as a Deluxe Edition on SD and in some BD circles, that's your lot. Not bad, but not exactly fifty eggs worth.
Cool Hand Luke is spiritual, lyrical, exciting and downright funny. Paul Newman finds his most perfect role and George Kennedy, much like his character in the film, reaps the benefits from it. Stuart Rosenberg directs with the minimum of fuss, simply having his cameras point at his eclectic cast and letting them do their thing. The banter, the characterisation and the camaraderie are both convincing and compelling and the film's celebrated set-pieces remain just as iconic as they appeared way back in 1967. With a tough backbone of institutionalised ferocity and a gleefully free-spirited core, Cool Hand Luke stands at the forefront on not only prison movies, but of existential dramas too. That it dares to question, to ponder and to agonise without actually offering up any answers is a brave thing. Yet, if you delve deeper into the movie and look beyond the distracting symbolism which I feel is a deliberate decoy anyway, you may find some of the solutions are there already - all quite simple, all quite sincere.
Warner's BD release offers a fine transfer with a great image and a couple of decent extras. Some input from Newman would obviously have been the icing on the cake, but this is still a decent package that shouldn't be overlooked. Cool Hand Luke is, therefore, very highly recommended.

Have Retirement. Will Travel.: The Passing of Macky: Life Is Uncertain. Death Is For Sure.
The Passing of Macky: Life Is Uncertain. Death Is For Sure.
Sharon Johnston Park Campground, New Market, Alabama Seven precious months passed in my sweet brother's life after we raced to the southeast from Washington state to north Alabama last summer. After spending several weeks near his home and seeing his slow but steady recovery, we moved on to our winter destination in Florida. Then in mid-march, we began the northward trek back into the area.
A bit of his medical history: The cardiologists had no other options available for Macky and they prepared (over prepared, really) him for death. One of them went so far last September as to say "You could live two days or two months" but Macky defied their well educated guesses and enjoyed another college football season, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. We also were so blessed to enjoy an autumn family reunion while we were at the campground near his home. Over the winter he gained thirty pounds that were muscle, not water retention, and enjoyed being with family, attending more than a few of his granddaughter's high school basketball games. God is good and we are thankful for that extra precious time.
But late in March, Macky's body started again to build fluid and our telephone visits sometime had to be shortened because I could sense he was running out of breath. In early April, after a troubling visit to the congestive heart failure clinic, he was admitted to the hospital where fluid was drained and he returned home in about three days. That night, he fainted several times, but his defibrillator shocked his heart into some last, slow but steady beats.
A few days later, he enjoyed a final Easter with his wife, children and grandchildren. A week later, he was gone, dying in his sleep on the sofa in the living room. Donna and Shannon were with him. He was 64.
We were still in Gulf Shores, Alabama when I received word of Macky's death. It rained all day that day. Early the next morning, we pulled out and headed north where, once again, I asked my friend, Marilyn, to drive to Sharon Johnston Park Campground and get a spot secured for us. This is the campground that doesn't take credit cards and won't hold reservations without payment. As she had done last fall, Marilyn, drove to the campground, paid the fee and made sure we would be able to get into the park if we arrived after dark. It was raining here too, but allowed a break for us to set up the campsite.
Two rainy days later, following a kind and knowing eulogy by his pastor, Macky was laid to rest at the cemetery by the church where he and Donna were married. At the funeral home, the room was filled with crimson flowers honoring his love of University of Alabama football. A bright red tie with University of Alabama "A's" was tied neatly at his throat. Donna and Sherrie selected dozens of wonderful photos to be looped over and over again during family visitation. Friends and family came and shared our grief. The local bank president came by as did an old friend of Wayne's who lives in Huntsville and had met Macky once though we did not know it until now.
He was gone. The rain gave way again long enough for the burial. The air was cold though and I was glad I had several layers of clothes. I was reminded, as we made the long drive from the funeral home to the cemetery, of the southern way of stopping one's vehicle anytime a funeral procession is along the road. Not just private automobiles, mind you, but commercial vehicles and school buses too. This tradition gave me some comfort and reminded me why I proud to be from the South.
By some strange coincidence, our cousin on our Father's side and his wife were in town for a visit with their daughter, who lives in Huntsville. I let them know of Macky's death and the funeral services and they came, of course. I was thrilled to get to spend time with Louis, his wife, Rhonda and their daughter, Wesley, who it turned out, is a rocket scientist in Huntsville. Louis had not seen Macky in more than 40 years but his presence was so meaningful to me.
Following the burial, as is common in the south, a grand meal, prepared by the neighbors, was laid out for the family. Louis, Rhonda and Wesley joined us and were welcomed into Donna's family. It was a bad day with a good wrinkle.
Donna, Sherrie, Shannon, Donna's Mother and Father.

Q: Python ImportError (Cannot import name Variables) I have done some research on this question and nothing seems to fix it, I suspect I may be accidentally circularly importing somewhere, but this one has stumped me.
This package is a Python IRC Service framework. The issue occurs when dynamically loading a module (via imp.load_source()), and the new module tries to import something from the src folder (Variables.py). It fails with "Cannot import name Variables", yet, it imports another module from the same directory without complaint.
Here is the specific error:

**ERROR: ModLoad(): Unable to load module
  /home/sam/workspace/Affinity/bin/../modules/ircd_affinity.py:
  cannot import name Variables
  **

This is the full file for modules/ircd_affinity.py: ircd_affinity.py, and src/Variables.py: Variables.py
If it helps. browse the entire repository... this (https://github.com/miniCruzer/Affinity/blob/master/src/Affinity.py) module (starting at line 123) loads modules.
I would appreciate if all responses were kept relevant to the specific issue at hand. Yes, it may be tempting to suggest other things I'm doing wrong or otherwise throughout the entire package - I am welcome to suggestions: please e-mail them to me.

A: Show the full traceback. Look through it for evidence of (attempted) circular import.
Run Python with the -v option ... what does that tell you?
Look at the contents of sys.path and sys.modules just before the error happens.
"**ERROR: ModLoad(): Unable to ..." doesn't look line a Python-raised error. Is that in your code? If so, dig deeper; why is it raised?

Marine Stadium Deal Flounders Amid News That Backer Filed For Bankruptcy
Tim Elfrink

Tim Elfrink | November 20, 2014 | 9:18am
Just a week ago, the future of long-vacant Marine Stadium looked sunnier than a winter day on South Beach. Leaders from Friends of the Marine Stadium and the Miami Boat Show gathered to proudly announce the gala fair would come to the decaying waterfront property in two years after a $121 million renovation. City approval for the project seemed all but a formality.
But that was before twin revelations cast serious doubt on the private company asking for a no-bid deal on the prime real estate. Earlier this week, that group, Expo-Miami, distanced itself from a co-founder with numerous business complaints.
Now this morning comes news that the firm's CFO recently filed for bankruptcy protection. Commissioners may scuttle their vote today in response.

Could Miami Marine Stadium Be the City's Next Great Music Venue?
The latest news comes from the Daily Business Review, which found that Federico Coupe — listed as Expo-Miami's vice president and CFO in state business records — had filed for bankruptcy on October 15.
Court files show Coupe claimed less than $50,000 in assets, but the businessman never filed a complete list of creditors and the case was dismissed in federal court earlier this month.
But civil court records also paint a picture of a guy with financial issues; the DBR reports that Bank of America says he defaulted on a $337,000 mortgage and that Ransom Everglades has sued him for $39,795 in tuition he owes for his child's middle school.
The news is the latest black eye for Expo-Miami, which had pledged to partner with another firm to handle $30 million worth of renovations on the 22-acre site. Just before Friends of Marine Stadium approved the current proposal last month, the group pressured Expo-Miami's co-founder — attorney Manuel Alonso-Poch — to step down from the group and erase his name from business records.
Alonso-Poch has a contentious business history that included serious complaints about conflicts of interest at his charter school, Coconut Grove's Academy of Arts & Minds; auditors investigated whether he'd improperly steered contracts to his own businesses.
City commissioners were scheduled to vote today on the proposal, but they may now table the discussion and look for a way to bring in the Boat Show and spark renovations without Expo-Miami as part of the deal, the Miami Herald reports.
Of course, doing so would require a new partner for those key $30 million in renovations. In the meantime, the future again looks uncertain for the iconic waterfront stadium.

Poll Says Americans Ignore Polls
Voter Involvement Index Survey Methodology
Despite a steady stream of recent news stories reporting George W. Bush's lead over Al Gore in national opinion polls, most Americans claim to be unaware of these polls. Most Americans also claim not to have made a choice between the candidates.
According to the most recent Shorenstein Center weekly national survey, 71% of Americans claim to be unaware of any news stories about the candidates' standings in the polls. Of those who say they have read or heard about recent polls, nearly three-fifths claim, rightly, that Bush has the lead. But nearly one in five claims that Gore is leading while another one in five either say they are unsure of who is ahead, or claim that the two candidates are tied.
Most of those who are able to identify Bush as the leading candidate are unlikely to have a reasonably precise judgment about the size of his advantage. In fact, nearly as many respondents placed Bush's lead in the double digits as thought it was in the 5-7 percent range, where most recent polls have placed it. "As fascinating as the polls are to political junkies and pundits, they are not closely followed by the vast majority of Americans," says Thomas Patterson, Bradlee Professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and co-director of the Vanishing Voter Project, of which the weekly Shorenstein Center poll is a component.
May 31-June 4 20%
May 24-28 21%
May 3-7 18%
Apr. 26-30 18%
Source: Shorenstein Center Poll
Sampling error: ±6%
In fact, Americans have a tendency to impose their own preferences on the question of the candidates' standing in the race. Republicans are half again as likely as Democrats to believe that Bush is currently ahead of Gore in the polls.
Despite what these polls may suggest, most Americans have not made a choice between the two nominees. This result differs from those of most national surveys, which ask respondents whether they prefer Bush or Gore. The Shorenstein Center poll poses the question differently: "Thinking ahead to the November presidential election, which candidate do you support at this time, or haven't you picked a candidate yet." With 58%, "haven't picked a candidate yet" won decisively. Bush trailed with 24% and Gore with 17%. "A majority of Americans cannot name their presidential preference now," says Marvin Kalb, co-director of the Vanishing Voter Project and the Executive Director of the Shorenstein Center's Washington Office. "But most Americans, if given a clear choice between Gore or Bush, could name one or the other."
The results reported here are from nationwide telephone surveys of approximately 1,000 adults conducted November 14, 1999 June 4, 2000. The surveys have a sampling error of ±3%. The Vanishing Voter Project is a study by the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. Funding for the project is provided by The Pew Charitable Trusts. The project is co-directed by Thomas E. Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government & the Press at the Shorenstein Center at Harvard, and by Marvin Kalb, Executive Director of the Shorenstein Center's office in Washington.

Rooney Says Steelers Want to Get Deals Done with Roethlisberger and Bell
Steelers Gab Staff
Steelers team president Art Rooney II told a small group of reporters Wednesday the team will explore extending quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's contract at some point and want to sign running back Le'Veon Bell to a long-term deal this offseason, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Roethlisberger, 35, has expressed to the team that he wants to play beyond his current contract, which features two more years.
"We haven't had a long conversation about that other than him saying he is interested in playing beyond his contract," Rooney said. "That's good news to me, and certainly his play this year makes you feel like he does have a few years left. All that is great in terms of the contract. We'll address that at the right time. But bottom line is we're excited that's the way he feels and we'll continue to work with him and hopefully get a couple more rings with him."
Rooney said the Steelers have the "next several weeks" to reach a deal with Bell but stayed neutral on whether the team would apply the tag, which is worth around $14.5 million.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Rooney said.
Bell told ESPN at last month's Pro Bowl that completing a deal before Feb. 20 — the first day that teams can designate franchise or transition tags — is "definitely a goal" for both parties.
"With every signing we do, we look at all the facts," Rooney said about Bell's deal. "The player on the other side is looking at the same things. The bottom line is, can you come together and have a meeting of the minds? That's what we've got to work on. … I think the good news is both sides want to get something done here, and hopefully that will lead to us getting it done."
Bell also said last month that he believes both parties are closer to a contract than last year, when he skipped all of training camp and played the season on a $12.1 million franchise tag.

The latest from the Olympic Games, including athletes from the North East and Olympic football at St James' Park.
The London Olympics saw Team GB achieve its best medals haul in over a century. Much of that success has been put down to athletes getting started from a very early age.
So after two sisters from Haltwhistle in Northumberland achieved some remarkable success, they are raising high hopes for future Olympics Games. Richard Wilson reports.
Ross Murray: "I nearly gave up one year before Olympics"
The Olympic 1500m runner Ross Murray, who trains with the Gateshead Harriers, told Pam Royle and Ian Payne he nearly became a holiday rep before he was selected for Team GB - but when he goes to Rio de Janeiro it will be as an athlete, not a tourist.
Ten Olympic rowers, including the gold medallists Kat Copeland and Sophie Hosking, will compete in a charity regatta in Hexham on Saturday. The fun day is being organised by one of their GB teammates, Matt Wells. The money raised will go towards his foundation, set up to help talented young rowers.
Hannah Pettifer reports from the Olympic Park on the final day of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Mongolian runner Serod Batochir, who trains with the Morpeth Harriers, has finished in 51st place in the men's marathon in a time of 2 hours 20 minutes 10 seconds.
George Patterson from the Morpeth Harriers says Serod Batochir who trains with the Northumberland running club is likely to finish in top 20 in the Men's marathon.
After 25 kilometers, the runner, also known as "Ziggy" was in 25th place in the race.
Batochir is representing his home country, Mongolia.
Jo Jackson: "I gave it everything"
In the women's 20km race walk on Saturday, Team GB's Johanna Jackson was disqualified due to a foot foul.
Jackson was omitted from the race for putting a foot out of place around the eight kilometre mark.
Unfortunately today wasn't to be and I got disqualified. I didn't think there was anything wrong with my technique, but obviously the judges saw that there was.
I was on for a personal best and I gave it everything, it just wasn't to be.
The 27-year-old who started race walking 10 years ago, finished 22nd in Beijing in 2008. The race was won by Russia's Elena Lashmonova, with reigning champion Olga Kaniskina, who had led for the majority of the race, settling for second.
"It meant everything to compete in front of this crowd and obviously I'm really gutted. I feel I've let everyone down now."
Mongolian marathon runner Serod Batochir is giving north east fans something to cheer about on the final day of the Olympics. The 30 year old trains with Morpeth Harriers. The club says it's extremely proud to have him in its ranks.
Teesside race walker Johanna Jackson was disqualified while competing in the 20k event at the Olympics. The 2010 Commonwealth champion had completed 8km when she was shown the red paddle for infringing the walking style rules.
We're heading towards there final stages of the Olympics but interest in our region's athletes continues. Last night, all eyes were on Morpeth Harrier Laura Weightman who competed in the 1500 metre final. Fingers are firmly crossed this evening on Teesside for race walker Jo Jackson.
Hannah Pettifer reports from the Olympic Park.
Morpeth Harrier Laura Weightman is just hours from the most important race of her career.
North Tyneside runner Ross Murray has qualified for the semi-final of the Men's 1500m event. His former running club saw him race.


Video, instruction and news for inshore and offshore fishing for New Jersey!
Though sometimes thought of as the lesser sibling of NY, this state still has some incredible fishing! The far south is famous for a world class black drum fishing, and some very good deep water fluke (summer) fishing. However, some of best action can be found in the far north in the Sandy Hook and Raritan Bay areas. Exceptional inshore spring striper action and a very good late spring/summer bluefin tuna bite. The fall run of stripers on the beach can also be quite good. At times the weakfish bite in Raritan, Verazzano, and Barnegat Bay is the best anglers will ever see.

Number with a real and an imaginary part / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a complex number is an element of a number system that extends the real numbers with a specific element denoted i, called the imaginary unit and satisfying the equation i 2 = − 1 {\displaystyle i^{2}=-1} ; every complex number can be expressed in the form a + b i {\displaystyle a+bi} , where a and b are real numbers. Because no real number satisfies the above equation, i was called an imaginary number by René Descartes. For the complex number a + b i {\displaystyle a+bi} , a is called the real part, and b is called the imaginary part. The set of complex numbers is denoted by either of the symbols C {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } or C. Despite the historical nomenclature "imaginary", complex numbers are regarded in the mathematical sciences as just as "real" as the real numbers and are fundamental in many aspects of the scientific description of the natural world.[1][lower-alpha 1]
Number with a real and an imaginary part
A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers (a, b) forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the "imaginary unit", that satisfies i2 = −1.
Complex numbers allow solutions to all polynomial equations, even those that have no solutions in real numbers. More precisely, the fundamental theorem of algebra asserts that every non-constant polynomial equation with real or complex coefficients has a solution which is a complex number. For example, the equation ( x + 1 ) 2 = − 9 {\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}=-9} has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative, but has the two nonreal complex solutions − 1 + 3 i {\displaystyle -1+3i} and − 1 − 3 i {\displaystyle -1-3i} .
Addition, subtraction and multiplication of complex numbers can be naturally defined by using the rule i 2 = − 1 {\displaystyle i^{2}=-1} combined with the associative, commutative, and distributive laws. Every nonzero complex number has a multiplicative inverse. This makes the complex numbers a field that has the real numbers as a subfield. The complex numbers also form a real vector space of dimension two, with {1, i} as a standard basis.
This standard basis makes the complex numbers a Cartesian plane, called the complex plane. This allows a geometric interpretation of the complex numbers and their operations, and conversely expressing in terms of complex numbers some geometric properties and constructions. For example, the real numbers form the real line which is identified to the horizontal axis of the complex plane. The complex numbers of absolute value one form the unit circle. The addition of a complex number is a translation in the complex plane, and the multiplication by a complex number is a similarity centered at the origin. The complex conjugation is the reflection symmetry with respect to the real axis. The complex absolute value is a Euclidean norm.
In summary, the complex numbers form a rich structure that is simultaneously an algebraically closed field, a commutative algebra over the reals, and a Euclidean vector space of dimension two.


What does the error code 2029999 mean?
A - This is a generic error which indicates there are some sort of problems with your Payware Connect due to account setup information mismatch or the account is on hold.
It is possible that you setup the password incorrectly between Elliott and Payware Connect Account. Since the password is hidden and case sensitive, it is often an area for potential problem.
Also, the CLIENT_ID or MERCHANTKEY is very long so it is easy to make typo mistake and you should verify that too. We advise you to use "Copy" and "Paste" to avoid making this kind of typo mistake.
Please go to Global Setup -> Add-Ons -> On-Line Credit Card Processing. Then go to field "2. Interface with Which CC Gateway Software?". You should have a value of "3" or "4". Hit enter, then the "Payware Connect Defaults" window should popup. See sample screen below. Verify that information with the settings on the portal (i.e. https://ipcharge.com/MC).
General speaking, no one should ever login with the Gateway API User ID (in the sample screen above, POS_USER). If you ever do, then the automatically 90 days count down clock will start and hence you will have this problem 90 days later. You can verify this by login as the admin with Payware Connect admin portal. If that is the case, you have two options: (1) Ask Verifone to unlock the API user; (2) Create a new API User and Password and set it on the Elliott side to match accordingly.
We have several incidents in the past showing this problem was caused by someone accidentially login to the API User to cause the password to expire and locked out.
If a wrong password was used and attempted for many times, the AP User ID account could be blocked and produce this error. In that case, the only way that this problem can be solved is to call Solupay.
If you set the API User password yourself at Payware Connect portal, you should be aware that the API User password is not allowed to have special characters.
We expect the ping time should be around 100 ms or less. if you have inconsistent ping time like 500 or 1,000 ms, to the point of sometime you have packet lost, then it is a good indicator that you have Internet reliability problem. We have seen unreliable Internet connection to cause error 2029999. In that case, you should talk to your Internet provider about it.
If this is an inconsistent error from the Web site where you use Elliott Web services to perform credit card authorizations, you may want to perform an IISRESET to see if this problem goes away. In addition, if you have multiple web services set up on the same server that processes credit card transactions, then you need to make sure they are set up to use a different user identity. If they use the same user identify, the current crypto logic (to decrypt API user password) may not work correctly and result in Error 2029999.
The other possibility is when the Payware Connect account is first setup, it should indicate the Application ID as "Elliott Business Software-8.0". If it is not setup so, you could get error code 2029999 as well. If this is the case, the symptom may be that you SALES transaction work, but PRE_AUTH transaction does not work. To verify your application ID setup for your Payware Connect account, you can call Payware Connect Production Help Desk at 1-800-839-0947 for assistance with your client ID ending with 0001. See sample screen above.
If your payware account worked before and stop working now, then it is possible due to your Payware Connect account is put on hold. Verifone may place your Payware Connect account on hold for various reasons. For example, one of our users changed their credit card and fail to notify Verifone of their new credit card info. Since Verifone can't charge the monthly transaction fee with their original credit card on file, so Verifone put the account on hold. This will cause error code 2029999.

WELCOME TO Wonderland, home of Brotherly Love, Sisterly Affection and kowtowing to criminals – alleged, convicted, foreign and domestic.
That's domestic. From abroad, we have "immigrants" (which is what language-abusing apologists call them, foreswearing the precedent "illegal") who arrive undocumented, break our laws, jump our borders, overstay their visas and violate our sovereignty.
The cops have been a problem a long time, even before (and after) Frank Rizzo.
Our illegalistas, a more recent problem, employ a long-term negotiating strategy: Scream bloody murder that their (fill in the blank) civil rights or human rights or constitutional rights or extraterrestrial rights are being violated. Scream at the mayor until he gives them half of what they want to STFU.
They wait a year or two, return, start screaming about the same damn thing and he gives them another half. It's the Shampoo Strategy: Complain, rinse, repeat.
August 2009 was the first local print mention of so-called immigration advocates (illegal immigrant apologists) demanding the city end participation in "Secure Communities," a voluntary federal program by which local police check the immigration status of arrested persons and hold them (for 48 hours) as Immigration and Customs Enforcement researches them. The idea was to find, and deport, criminals. Mayor Nutter said he saw no reason to halt the program.
A clown posse led by Councilman James Kenney said the plan would make "immigrants" less likely to report a crime for fear of being deported. That was monumental fearmongering because those reporting crimes, or victims, were neither fingerprinted nor arrested.
Less than a year later, a brainwashed Nutter said he'd end cooperation with ICE and stop the feds (which are regarded by some as the Gestapo) from accessing the Preliminary Arraignment Reporting System.
"Immigration advocates" claimed PARS led to deportation of those arrested for even "minor" crimes. ICE is trying to protect us from criminals, but the open borders crowd isn't interested in Americans' rights.
We can't allow our sympathy for their desire for a better life to erase our right to ask, "Why didn't you come here legally?" Their problems are self-inflicted, a result of their illegal actions.
Nutter said he wanted to shield undocumented-immigrant crime victims and witnesses from harm. In July 2010, he extended the agreement, but deleted the names of victims and witnesses. A fair compromise.
A couple of weeks back, hounded by illegal immigrant enablers, Nutter extended cooperation with ICE but with an executive order studded with crippling loopholes. ICE will be notified only if the suspect has a previous conviction, but not just a conviction, it must be a felony. But not just a felony, it must be a first- or second-degree felony. But not just a first- or second-degree felony, it must also involve violence.
In short, if you are here illegally, you can (nonviolently) steal cars, embezzle, deal drugs and burgle with no fear Philly will report you to ICE.
Within a few weeks, Nutter decriminalized foreign felons and criminalized smoking in parks.

Audi S3 sedan: new body shape flagship revealed
David Zalstein
The Audi S3 sedan has been revealed ahead of the flagship's unveiling at today's New York auto show.
Taking pride of place atop the all-new Audi A3 sedan range, due to arrive in Australia in early 2014, the Audi S3 sedan gives the small car's first foray into the compact sedan market a performance twist.
Powered by a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine delivering 221kW and 380Nm and mated to the German manufacturer's six-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, the Audi S3 sedan will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds – 5.3 seconds in six-speed manual guise – and reach an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h.
Despite the extra 33kW, 50Nm and 0.7-second performance increase over the current Audi S3 Sportback – to be replaced later this year – the all-paw S3 sedan can achieve a combined fuel consumption figure of 6.9 litres per 100km (7.0L/100km manual) and equivalent CO
emissions of 159 grams per kilometre (162g/km manual). An improvement over the existing Sportback of 1.4L/100km and 39g/km.
The Audi S3 sedan sits 25mm lower than its A3 sedan kin and benefits from 340mm brake discs up front that sit inside standard 18-inch wheels.
Electrically assisted steering works in conjunction with Audi's drive select vehicle dynamics system as standard, while the option to add Audi's magnetic ride damper control system is also available.
The S3 differentiates itself from the rest of the Audi A3 sedan range with unique front and rear bumpers and side skirts, a single-frame grille, modified air intakes, brushed aluminium exterior mirror housings, a model-specific rear spoiler and a chrome-tipped quad-exhaust system that highlights a black rear diffuser.
Inside sees white-stitched leather sport seats, a flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel and grey instrument dials.
The all-new Audi S3 sedan will arrive in Australia only a few months after the launch of the new sedan range in the first quarter of 2014, at a cost premium above the soon-to-arrive Audi S3 Sportback.

India All India 12 Jun 2018 Here's everything you need to know about model-turned-godman Bhaiyyu Maharaj
Here's everything you need to know about model-turned-godman Bhaiyyu Maharaj
THE ASIAN AGE / PTI
Published : Jun 12, 2018, 8:44 pm IST
Updated : Jun 12, 2018, 8:44 pm IST
50-yr-old Bhaiyyu Maharaj, who was born Uday Singh Deshmukh, allegedly killed himself at his house in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

Indore: Thousands of his followers were left stunned after they got news of spiritual leader Bhaiyyu Maharaj committing suicide by shooting himself on Tuesday.
The 50-year-old model-turned-spiritual guru, who was born Uday Singh Deshmukh, allegedly killed himself at his house in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Read: Indore: Spiritual guru Bhayyu Maharaj shoots self, dies
Bhaiyyu Maharaj was one of the five 'saints' to whom the Shivraj Singh government of Madhya Pradesh had granted Minister of State (MoS) rank in April. However, he had refused to accept it, saying "a post holds no importance for a saint".
Here are 10 facts on Bhaiyyu Maharaj:
When the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh offered him ministership, Bhaiyyu Maharaj refused saying: "A post holds no importance for a saint."
Bhaiyyu Maharaj used to travel in a Mercedes and was rarely seen without his Rolex watch. He has a sprawling bungalow in Indore.
Bhaiyyu Maharaj was a model before he became a spiritual guru. He once modelled for a brand of clothing.
Bhaiyyu Maharaj married for the second time at the age of 49 in 2017. On his wedding day, a woman who claimed to be an actress accused him of "cheating" on her and termed him a "trickster".
Bhaiyyu Maharaj married Dr Ayushi Sharma, a native of Shivpuri, in Indore in 2017, a year after announcing his intention to take 'sanyas' from public life. His first wife Madhavi died in 2015.
Bhaiyyu Maharaj was born in 1968 in a family of agriculturists at Shujalpur in Madhya Pradesh.
In 2011, the then UPA government had Bhaiyyu Maharaj him as a mediator to persuade social activist Anna Hazare to call off his fast at the Ramlila ground in Delhi over the Lokpal issue. Anna Hazare broke the fast by having juice given by Bhaiyyu Maharaj.
Bhaiyyu Maharaj was invited by Narendra Modi when he observed a "sadbhavna fast" as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Those who have visited Bhaiyyu Maharaj ashram in Indore include former president Pratibha Patil, Sharad Pawar, Lata Mangeshkar, Uddhav Thackeray, Raj Thackeray and Asha Bhonsle.
Bhaiyyu Maharaj escaped an alleged attack on his car near Pune in 2016, while on his way back to Indore after meeting his daughter. When he was injured in the accident, those who visited him included RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and then Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel.

Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Sonoma
Julio Estrada tragically dies in Sonoma pedestrian accident
Updated: January 24, 2023 01:49 PM EDT
Estrada was struck while in crosswalk on Highway 12 at Verano Avenue
SONOMA, CA, (January 16, 2023) - Julio Estrada was sadly struck and killed by a pickup truck on Jan. 16 on Highway 12 in Sonoma.
Julio Estrada was sadly struck and killed by a pickup truck on Jan. 16 on Highway 12 in Sonoma.
Estrada, 36, was walking his dog in a crosswalk on Highway 12 at Verano Avenue when he was hit by a Toyota Tundra driven by a 24-year-old man. Sadly, Estrada was pronounced dead at the scene. The dog sustained minor injuries in the accident, which remains under investigation.
FATAL PEDESTRIAN CRASH INVESTIGATION
Pedestrians such as Mr. Estrada are some of the most vulnerable people on our roads. They have nothing to protect themselves from a crash such as seat belts, airbags or helmets.
According to Candice Bond, an experienced pedestrian accident attorney, many of these accidents are caused by the negligent actions of a driver. The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) reported that there were 6,721 pedestrian deaths in the U.S. in 2020, up 4.8 percent from the previous year. Bond attributed the increase in pedestrian fatalities to factors such as speeding, distracted driving, driving under the influence, as well as road conditions that prioritize motor vehicles over pedestrians.
Bond stressed that in cases such as this, it is imperative to have an independent probe conducted by a seasoned lawyer to help protect the family of a victim's rights.
"Having the proper resources is extremely important in order to investigate a pedestrian accident case and prove negligence," said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal. "Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must thoroughly be examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice and monetary compensation that they deserve."
Bond added: "In most instances, pedestrians possess the right of way when crossing an intersection or a street regardless of if they are in a marked crosswalk. It is always a driver's duty to yield to any pedestrian."
Pending the investigation, the family of Julio Estrada may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this tragic incident.
"The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident," said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. "We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."
The Legal Advocate's national legal analysts Candice Bond and Stefano Formica are experienced in fatal pedestrian accidents, and if you or a family member need help they are available for a free consultation to guide you.

SONOMA INJURY LAWYERS


I'm fairly certain it's a scam.
I emailed the poster within hours of it being posted, then waited 10 hours and emailed from another email address, then another email address after another 10 hours. Thus far I've had 4 different people email the poster for me at varying times.
No one has received a reply, and given how quickly my initial email went out after it being listed I'd be shocked if someone beat me to it.
looks like a G&S for sure and the one next to it looks like a dextra.
i also love when people put the lengths of the boards in inches. make me do math for a second.
both mine. hit me up if you've got a good trade or are interested in either.
Cool looking board. What's s fair price for something that damaged?
Cool deck for sure - never taken on a project quite that big, but why not start at $50?
Text I got from the seller.
Not looking like he's too interested in a "deal" but worth a try.
"I am not eager to sell it as I know Jim Phillips is a very well known shaper and it clearly isn't a massed produced board but for the right price I will definitly let it go"
Ha - yes, JP is well-known and a hell of a shaper, but that board will never be the shape Jim intended ever again because of all the repairs it will need up front. Maybe a good project board for someone looking to brush up large-repair skills (way more than average ding repair), given it's pedigree and deck art, but I personally wouldn't throw more than $50 bucks at it even if I intended a wholesale refurb of the front 1/3 of the bottom glass. If the board was that abused and neglected, I'm sure there are other issues not pictured as well.

My passwords are changed. Thank you for the warning.
I haven't counted them up, but just looking at the lists, I must have 50 or more websites that I have passwords to. When I write the sites and passwords down, I code them with hints that only makes sense to me, etc.
Oh gods thanks for the heads up for sure!
Closing now, TJ09 will update with a new topic when necessary.


The Coalition Against Duck Shooting has contacted Lord Mayor Cr Gordon Bradbery, urging Wollongong Council to adopt a passive approach to removing water birds from the Northern Illawarra's public pools.
This follows reports of the mistreatment of native Australian Wood Ducks at Helensburgh and Corrimal pools, where ducks have been trapped then euthanised to keep the water and surrounding pool area clean.
The community has been outraged by the mistreatment, especially after one duck was drowned at Helensburgh Pool, in clear view of visiting families.
Manager of the Coalition Against Duck Shooting Alyssa Wormald says they're appalled by the abuse."Trapping birds and taking them away to be euthanised by the feral animal contractor is clearly not in the interest of the birds, nor is it acceptable to the general public," she says.
Ms Wormald says the Australian Wood Ducks can be, and have been, successfully relocated to suitable wetlands.
The Coalition is imploring Council to consider this alternative.


I have been using popcorn for a very long time for backing up DVDs, but i have recently upgraded to popcorn 3 because i have many small files on my hard drive that i wanted to burn onto one dvd, but never could before. i converted all these files to ts_video folders, and when i go to burn a compilation disc everything seems okay, but then i get an error message saying "sense key=illegal request sense code= 0 x 21, 0 x 02 BUFFER UNDERBURN".
Of course i didnt know what that meant, so i looked it up and some people had the same problem. the advice given to them was to try a different brand of DVD, so i did that. i got a different error message, and the disc didnt burn properly again! so now, after wasting many DVDs, i have come to the experts for help. does anyone know what to do?
are you using an external burner?
Please guide me through the steps you followed. I don't understand the part where you say you converted the files to VIDEO_TS folders. The way this is done in Popcorn 3 is choosing Video Files as the format under the DVD list of formats, adding your source videos (not from VIDEO_TS folders, however) setting up the menu the way you want and clicking the burn button (or choosing Save as Disc Image from the File menu). If your videos are in an existing VIDEO_TS folder then you didn't need to upgrade to Popcorn 3. If I understood better the steps you followed I may be able to figure out what's going wrong.
Okay, the first thing i did was convert avi files so they were in a video_ts folder.
in the middle of burning i get that message everytime.
that's pretty much all that has happened, but it never works.
i've used popcorn a million times, but this is the first time i've ever had a problem, so hopefully this helps you. thanks!
What did you use to create the VIDEO_TS folder? Why didn't you just put the AVI files in Popcorn using the DVD-Video setting?
I'm guessing you used the VIDEO_TS Compilation setting in Popcorn to merge the contents of the VIDEO_TS folders into a single DVD. How many folders were there and what were their total size? What format is the audio track - PCM or MPEG or AC3?
Try this: Choose Save as Disc Image from the File menu. When that is finished choose the disc image using the Image File setting in Popcorn (under the DVD heading). Then burn your DVD. That may work without your needing to answer any of my questions.

"He asked me if I was going to retire and I said 'no, why would I?'"
An October night, Liam Cahill had recently been confirmed as the Waterford hurling manager for the coming season.
As the team captain, a 3-time All-Star and a player hardly over the hill at 30, Noel Connors, you'd have imagined, was one of the few players that could have considered themselves immune to the shake-up that often comes with new beginnings.
Turns out Liam Cahill had different ideas.
Connors gets a phone call from the new manager who enquires if he's planning on retiring. The Passage club man had no such intentions but just like that, he's told that he is not part of the Waterford plan for the year. Connors, along with fellow stalwart and key man Maurice Shanahan didn't fit the bill and they were discarded.
Like many hurling folk, Connors was shocked at the call, and the news.
"It was a shock. As you said there, I was the captain in 2019 but look, that was Liam's decision," says Connors now.
"It was just a conversation on the phone one October night. To be honest, it was just something that completely hit me by surprise, it wasn't something that I wasn't expecting obviously. I don't know Liam, I've never met him before, it was the only conversation I've ever had with him.

"I was just after coming back from a camogie match at about 8.00, my little cousin was playing a club camogie county final and I came back and the phone was ringing. Generally I don't like answering the phone in the night time but it was Liam, just a brief conversation.

"He just asked me if I was going to retire and I kind of said 'no, why would I?' Obviously, like, I've been playing for 11 years. I've missed two matches in 11 years, one through injury against Laois when Derek started and one against Cork last year when we didn't have much to play for and it was a complete change of the 15 and that was it really, and he just said you're not in our plans going forward..."
11 years. Two missed games. Out in the cold.
Tipperary man Cahill said in an interview with Sky Sports last year that "type of game I'm going to play in the coming year is going to involve fellas predominantly being able to get around the field," before praising the years of service Connors has given his county.
It's not Connors' style to moan or grumble though, and he's taken it on the chin and has wished Cahill and his former teammates all the best in the championship to come.
"I would have got a couple of texts off the lads do you know, wondering was it true and that but look it is what it is," says the Electric Ireland ambassador.
"It's funny. I was actually talking to one of the lads yesterday who would have played with Waterford for a good few years, Stephen Roche. And we were discussing, Stephen is a teacher in St Paul's up the road, and I'm obviously in WIT lecturing. We're actually busier now than we were when we were playing, because when you know when you're playing, you are solely focused on playing and making sure that you're going through your process and your routine. You just have one thing to focus on. Now you're focusing on your career, you're looking at research in my instance, I'm getting married next year, I've an 18-month child at home. So your perspective completely changes. But you find so many other things."

Waterford dealt big blow as Stephen O'Keeffe steps away for 2021 season
Luckily, Connors, who completed his PHD and now lectures in WIT, has never been one to dwell too much on the ups and downs a sporting life brings.
"It's something that I would have learned early on in my career. Thankfully I had the support of my family and Siobhan and that because I would have been very focused on the off-field stuff, nearly more so than the on-field stuff. I suppose the on-field stuff is a reflection of what happens off it. If you're in a career where you're happy, you're going to work and you feel like you're adding value, well therefore you're going to training and you're happy and you're feeling that you're adding value here as well. Once you're happy and you're going to training and putting in an effort, it's full-circle really. I would have spent quite a lot of time as a student obviously. Working in WIT the last three years, it's incredibly enjoyable and something that I love. So the off-field stuff now is becoming the forefront. Obviously having a child, all those different things are fitting into place quite well."
On top of that, he had the welcome distraction of another club run with Passage that brought him all the way to the county final. There, the country men were well beaten by the juggernaut that is Ballygunner, but Connors is under no illusions that it would take something special to beat them.
"The final certainly didn't go the way we wanted it to go, but look we were competing against a team that has as close to an inter-county set-up as you'd get at club level. They are like a superclub within a small rural county."
When asked if their dominance has gone too far, Connors is more inclined to put the challenge up to other Waterford clubs to bridge that gap, though it seems to be getting wider and wider.
"At the end of the day they are developing themselves and their own players. The one thing I'd be concerned about is that their Under 13s won 5 or 6-22 to no score against Lismore. Their Under 14s beat De La Salle 2-15 to 0-1 or something like that, so they conceded a point in two Championship games at different levels. When you are looking at that it probably gives a very stark image of what Waterford underage hurling looks like. Do you know what the funny thing about it is, and this isn't to sound negative about Ballygunner, it is more a reflection on us, where we need to get to," he adds.
As for his own inter-county career, a spirited Connors won't giving up the ghost any time soon.
"I don't know would I close the door. I think if you ask any player who has played for Waterford or any county team in the past, you know, if they were asked would they play with their county again, I don't think too many would say no. At the end of the day, you grow up wanting to play for your county and it's obviously been a dream and I don't think any fella would turn their back on their county. It's basically an extension of your club and you'd never turn your back on your club really."

Q: Can system rely on multiple aspects in entity component system? I am learning the Entity Component System design pattern and trying to build a menu with it.
What I am building
The idea behind the menu is this:

*

*Menu displays possible actions

*When I select an action, I choose the first argument, then the second

*When all arguments are selected, action is performed and I go to 1.

Egzample

*

*Choosing action

o -> Open Browser
l -> Open Logs

pressing o to choose Open Browser action that requires two arguments: tier and project
p -> production
i -> integration
d -> development

pressing i to choose integration tier
1 -> project 1
2 -> project 2
...

pressing 1 to choose "project 1" opens the browser with "project 1" on the integration tier, and the action menu is displayed again.
My initial design
In my initial approach, I made each menu item an entity with different components.
E.g. project 1 is an entity with project component, integration is an entity with tier component.
I also have renderable and selectable components.
I have three systems: Selector, Action and Render. They "interact" with each other by modifying entities.
Init phase

*

*The Action system adds renderable component to all actions during initialisation so that they get displayed.

*Render system renders actions to choose.

Loop
Button press o

*

*The Selection system adds selected component to "OpenBrowser" entity.

*The Action system detects that action was selected and removes renderable from entities with action component and adds them to entities with tier component.

*Render system renders tiers to choose.

Button press i

*

*The Selection system adds the selected component to "integration" entity.

*The Action system detects that action and tier were selected, so it removes renderable from tiers and adds to entities with the project component.

*Render system renders projects to choose.

Button press 1

*

*The Selection system adds the selected component to "project 1" entity.

*The Action system detects that action and tier and project were selected, so it performs the action of opening browser, clears seletected components and attaches renderable to actions.

*Render system renders actions to choose.

I am pretty content with Selection and Render systems. They are easy to understand, and they have a clear purpose.
However, the Action system requires three different aspects:

*

*Entities with action and selected component.

*Entities with tier and selected component.

*Entities with project and selected component.

*Entities with action (to add renderable at the end).

As far as I saw in the examples. Each system usually had one aspect (query of entities with and without particular components).
Is that a bad design? How would you redisign action system to use only one aspect?

When Christian Moms Get the Blues
On postpartum depression and the Proverbs 31 wife.
Jamie Calloway-Hanauer, guest writer| October 9, 2013
Image: Dustin McClure Photography / Flickr
We still don't know much about 34-year-old Miriam Carey, the woman who drove her car through White House barricades before being shot and killed by police last week. A federal law enforcement official disclosed, "Our working theory is that her mental health was a significant driver in her unexpected presence in D.C." This theory stems from Carey's recent diagnosis of and treatment for postpartum psychosis.
"Postpartum depression" (PPD) is an umbrella term that encompasses everything from mild baby blues to its most serious condition, postpartum psychosis, which Carey reportedly had. In the U.S., 14 percent of postpartum women suffer from some form of PPD. Among certain demographics, the figure is as high as 35 percent.
And those are conservative numbers; experts suspect that PPD is widely under-diagnosed due to the societal expectations of new motherhood. The American Journal of Clinical Medicine states:
The majority of undiagnosed cases are probably due to the social stigma of being labeled an "unhappy mother," not to mention the public image of PPD.... They reject the term "postpartum depression" because this implies to them that their feelings are caused by their babies. For these women, it is the stigma of PPD that causes shame, fear, embarrassment, and guilt...
In addition to the stigma of mental illness, the societal portrayal of idealized motherhood adds even more strain to the emotionally taxed mother. Women attempt to hide their distress and struggle alone in fear of being labeled an unfit parent or, worse, having their baby taken from them.
Women involved in a faith community may experience additional stressors keeping them from getting help. Religious people tend to have more children than non-religious people, thus increasing a woman's odds of experiencing PPD.
Plus, churches celebrate the birth of children as one of the purposes of marriage and a response to God's positive command to "be fruitful and multiply" in Genesis 1:28. To voice that struggle and depression came along with your new baby can seem to imply that you are overlooking the "joy" in your bundle of joy, failing to see her as a blessing.
The notion of motherhood as a calling further exacerbates the pressure to be a joyous, content parent. This outlook assumes women will be instinctively and immediately pleased with and perfect at motherhood. Sadly, when PPD takes over, women may believe they have failed not just their families, but also God.
This line of thinking ignores that, even absent PPD, motherhood is hard. This is especially true in the early months; however, it is during that time a woman is most likely to hear, "What a blessing! You must be so happy!" In the throes of PPD, one feels anything but happy, giving rise to the painful question, "What is wrong with me?"
As the church views families as the cornerstone of Christian living, so the myth of the perfect mother and wife looms large. Proverbs 31 sets the expectations for mothers to live up to pretty high, and, by correlation, makes clear where they are falling short.
The ambitious eagerness and productivity of the Proverbs 31 mom would be near impossible given the emotional experience of PPD, which overwhelms new mothers with stress, guilt, fatigue, and even anger. Most new moms can't quickly bounce into a Proverbs 31 routine, not right after having a baby and not day after day. Most do experience the symptoms characteristic of PPD, at least on occasion, and need to give themselves space and grace for those feelings.
Those in a position of church leadership must emphasize not just the calling of motherhood and the pedestal-perfection of Proverbs 31, but also that parenthood—even when following one's calling—is messy, complicated, and imperfect. By so doing, women suffering may better understand that there is in fact nothing "wrong" with them and will feel comfortable seeking help.
Creating a culture of acceptance should come naturally to places of worship. Faith communities have traditionally offered families a strong support network. Women provide meals to new parents and take turns babysitting for one another. Small groups are tightly bonded, and prayer lists are plentiful. All of this puts churches at the front lines of recognizing and addressing PPD.
That is not to say churches should diagnose PPD or offer prescriptive advice—a task best left to medical professionals. Instead, faith communities must create an environment in which women can acknowledge their emotions without fear of judgment or admonishment to "just pray harder." (Nearly half of evangelicals in a recent LifeWay survey said they believed prayer could cure mental health issues.)
Indeed, experts have determined that the best thing we can do to prevent PPD is to make women more aware of the condition and offer assurance that their symptoms do not make them bad moms. "The stigma of mental illness must be reversed so that women can be more comfortable admitting to being diagnosed with and treated for PPD," researchers say.
Thankfully, the message of the gospel should make being on the front lines of reversing stigma an easy one: God's grace abounds for all, and never more so than in our greatest times of need.

Q: Search items in a treeview C# I was looking for a way to search for an item in a treeview in C#. I used the following question/answer TreeView search and it works great. The only issue I'm having now is that I can only look through nodes that have been expanded at least once. So I added a ExpandAll() and Collapse() to the Load event of my form so that I can find any item anywhere in the tree.
But now, I'm dealing with very big hierarchies and it takes 45+ seconds to load my dialog box because of that expandAll() call. Is there a way to do that search without calling expandAll() first?
Thanks a lot.


The acts or omissions of those acting on [the Named Insured's] behalf.
A Breaking Solutions machine touched an electrical cable buried at the worksite, causing an explosion that injured a Transit Authority employee. The employee later sued Breaking Solutions and the City. The Transit Authority was brought into the case and tendered its defense to Burlington. Discovery indicated that the Transit Authority had failed to notify Breaking Solutions of the live wire. Burlington withdrew its defense of the Transit Authority on grounds that the policy only provided coverage for Breaking Solutions' negligence, while the loss (it said) was solely caused by the Transit Authority's own negligence—not that of Breaking Solutions.
Reversing a lower appeals court decision, a majority of the New York Court of Appeals held that (1) the phrase "caused, in whole or in part," requires proximate causation (even though it doesn't say so), and (2) the phrase "[The Named Insured's] acts or omissions" really means "the subcontractor's negligent acts or omissions" (even though it doesn't say that, either). In other words, if you're an additional insured, you're only covered for your subcontractor's direct negligence, not your own.
But surely it can. It's certainly possible to envision a chain of two or more circumstances, each one of which is necessary but insufficient for an accident to occur. In Burlington, for example, the explosion wouldn't have happened but for the Transit Authority's failure to warn, or but for Breaking Solutions' touching the live cable. The logical error is this: Without a "but for" cause, the entire event would not occur, but it may well take more than one "but for" cause to bring about a particular event.
Even if that weren't so, the rules of plain English applied to the policy's terms dictate a much simpler analysis. The explosion in Burlington was "caused in part" by Breaking Solutions' act in touching the cable, as the literal words of the policy required. By instead applying a legalistic syllogism to create an ambiguity that it resolved in favor of the insurer, the court violated long-standing rules of policy interpretation that require it to read the policy as an ordinary insured would do, not to read words into the policy that aren't there, and to resolve any ambiguities in favor of coverage.
The Court also ignored these rules by reading "acts or omissions" to mean "negligent acts or omissions." In plain words, the policy provides coverage for liabilities that result from any acts or omissions. These acts or omissions might be negligent, but they might also be reckless—or faultless—and still be covered. If those acts could give rise to liability, the insurer has a duty to defend and indemnify its insureds. In reading the absent word "negligent" into the policy, the Court of Appeals potentially narrowed its coverage considerably. And while this case involves coverage for the Transit Authority as an additional insured, insurers may argue that this analysis narrows coverage for named insureds to "negligent" acts or omissions as well.
The majority's tunnel vision, unfortunately, is now the law of New York. Luckily, it is specific to the language of the endorsement at issue in Burlington. If you're an additional insured and you want coverage for your own "but for" negligence on a project, you should make sure the additional insured endorsement preserves coverage for that risk. Consult a coverage lawyer if in doubt—preferably before you agree to additional insurance offered by your subcontractors. Meanwhile, we'll all have to wait for another case to revisit this wording, and hope that case represents a light at the end of the Burlington tunnel.
