CALGARY - Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson wasn't feeling all that celebratory after a hectic 43-39 win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Thursday.
In fact, Dickenson gave the impression of a man grateful to slide off a bucking bronco in one piece.
He was uncomfortable with a lack of execution that allowed the defending Grey Cup champions turn Calgary's home-opener into a white-knuckle ride.
"I don't feel great about it, but I'll take it,'' Dickenson said. "It just feels like, boy, one of those where we made it so difficult on ourselves. I just know those things will come back to bite you.
After Ottawa's 39-33 overtime upset of Calgary to win November's Grey Cup, CFL schedulers pitted the teams against each other in back-to-back games to open 2017.
The Stampeders and Redblacks tied 31-31 last week in Ottawa.
"I don't know what it is about Ottawa, but it's always these crazy games that come down to the wire,'' said slotback Kamar Jorden, who scored Calgary's first and final touchdowns of the game.
Marken Michel, Maleki Harris and Tunde Adeleke earned their first career CFL touchdowns, with backup quarterback Andrew Buckley also rushing for a major in front of an announced 24,613 at McMahon Stadium.
Marquay McDaniel had a two-point convert catch with kicker Rene Paredes adding a field goal for the hosts. Paredes made just one of four convert attempts, however.
Ottawa quarterback Trevor Harris threw for 425 yards and two touchdowns, while Calgary counterpart Bo Levi Mitchell finished with 295 passing yards and a trio of touchdown throws.
Diontae Spencer scored twice for Ottawa, with Brad Sinopoli and Mossis Madu Jr., also contributing majors. Brett Maher kicked four field goals. Madu rushed for a two-point convert.
The teams also traded punt-return touchdowns. Spencer ran the ball in from 96 yards and Adeleke from 71.
While Mitchell is "chucking the ball pretty damn well,'' Dickenson said the offence was inconsistent.
"We're undefeated and it feels like everyone is playing poor and that's not the case,'' he continued. "It's early in the season.
Deadlocked 17-17 at halftime, Calgary scored two touchdowns early in the third quarter.
Buckley kept the ball on a short-yardage package and ran it in from 60 yards followed by a defensive touchdown from Harris.
But the Redblacks twice pulled within a field goal late in the game. Jorden's eight-yard reception with three and a half minutes left in the game stood up as the winner.
After 126 yards in penalties last week, the Redblacks again did not help themselves Thursday with 90.
For example, Ottawa would have scored on Harris's first throw of the game, but Greg Ellingson's catch and run to the end zone was called back on an illegal blocking penalty by Sinopoli.
"It's on me to figure that out and do whatever we need to do to fix it,'' Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell said. "It too hard to win football games when you're going backwards.
"We had too long a list of things to overcome. We have the makings to be able to do some things, but obviously we're not where we need to be.
Calgary's defence was brilliant at key moments in the first half, but seemed to tire late in the game.
Stampeder Alex Singleton's hard tackle on Patrick Lavoie knocked the ball loose for Harris's touchdown. Consecutive pass knockdowns from Ciante Evans and Singleton held Ottawa to a field goal in the first half.
Defensive tackle Micah Johnson accounted for three of Calgary's four sacks on Harris.
Entertaining CFL football at it's best. Great start to the season.
Thouroughly enjoyed watching this game, win lose, both teams to be commended for their fine play.
Calgary kick returner Roy Finch is suspended.
No problem, put in 2017 draft pick Tunde Adeleke and he'll get you a touchdown.
That's how the Stampeders work.
Just the opposite to the Roughriders, We sign 30-some-year-old castoffs.
Lord I wish we had John Hufnagel and Calgary had Chris Jones.
It must be nice to have a quarterback.
Even when the Stamps don't play their best , they're still the best.
Great game. What was up with that extra point on Ottawa's last TD of the game? That was clearly a good convert. Three on field officials stand there like pylons making no signal for good or no good. Could none of them make a decision and give a signal? Then the command centre does nothing. The CFL is lucky that never turned out to be a big deal.
Boo Hoo Hooo. So many fricken cry babys in this Province. Its sickening!
Bo Levi Mitchell is just not as good as he has been in other years plus he is the biggest baby and biggest finger pointer in the league.


Job Interviews are no different from attending special events. You have to carefully plan what to wear so you don't end up over or under dressing. Part of your preparation for job interviews should include a plan on how to dress for success according to your prospect employer's standards.
There's no doubt that you can be at your best if you're comfortable with what you wear. Some employers would require formal business attire but others are okay even if their applicants apply wearing only smart casual. Make sure that you pick an outfit that you're comfortable with. Dress accordingly based on the Employers' preference to give you an immediate advantage for your application.
It's no longer a secret that well dressed people have a strong sense of likeability and can easily gain a degree of respect. Dressing to impress your interviewers is very important. Although we always remind ourselves not to judge people because of their appearances, we still unconsciously form our first impressions based on what we see. That's why it's important for you to dress for success during an interview.
Full business, business casual or smart casual? Find out what the company's preferred dress code is. Overdressing might make you look overqualified while under dressing might give them an impression that you're not serious about the role or lack the experience. The best way to is to always match how their employees dress up on a regular work day to make it look like you can fit in with their company culture.
Wear the appropriate footwear. You might get tempted to wear your sneakers or open sandals. Leather shoes do not need to be fancy but it should be clean and presentable. Wear appropriate footwear that matches what you are wearing and make sure it doesn't show your toes.
Watch your belt. If there's a need to wear one, go for professional looking belts that matches your attire. Stay away from fancy combinations.
Go gray or dark with your socks/stockings. These are the best ones to wear, but you may also opt for light colored ones if necessary. Stay away from fancy colors because you are trying to look as professional as possible.
Make an exclamation point by wearing a necktie. Take a look around the office and if you get to see people wearing neckties, wear one too. Most offices already don't require them so it's not a deal breaker if you're wearing a business attire without a tie.
Keep your nails in check. Trim it neatly and avoid wearing bright colors for your nails especially the ladies.
It's okay to be conservative. Wear safe garments that will not be too revealing for women. Avoid wearing bright colored or transparent clothing.
Wear some light make up. But don't overdo it. You may want to find out how to properly put on makeup if you have not done it before. Always remember that less is better when it comes to putting on makeup for an interview.
Highlight yourself with some jewelry. But again, don't overdo it. Wearing some jewelry is okay as long as it compliments and doesn't overpower your outfit. No big earrings, dangling necklaces for women and earrings for men.
When you look at your best during interviews, interviewers can immediately see you as a professional. It gives you an edge among the many applicants that may want the same job. This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to wear a coat and tie at all times during interviews. Simply match the culture of the company when dressing up for the interview and make sure that you dress according to what they expect of their employees.

In April 2012, Sylvia Plath was honored with other Twentieth century poets with a Forever Stamp by the United States Postal Service. At the time, I did not know that the USPS released (or would also release at a later date) a set of collector's note cards as an attractive boxed set. The set also includes envelopes and a set of the ten Twentieth century poets forever stamps. Each of the cards in the set features an artist's response to a poem by the featured poet.
Below are the front and back of the note card, which is blank on the inside.
The note card set is available for sale at many local post offices as well as online.
A month ago I was in England and took this video of the churchyard of St. Peter's in North Tawton and of Court Green. I apologize for the awful video quality; the settings on my camera were not set very high unfortunately.
As the video progresses, I walk towards the "wall of old corpses" ("Letter in November") -- (also known as "a row of headstones" ("The Moon and the Yew Tree") -- and get a shot of Court Green, with daffodils abloom.
In Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953 (HarperCollins, 16 April 2013), Elizabeth Winder has approached a pivotal period of Sylvia Plath's life in a novel way. Similar to the ingenuity in scope of Andrew Wilson's recent biography Mad Girl's Love Song: Sylvia Plath and Life Before Ted, Winder writes primarily on a snapshot period of Plath's life and weaves together a short, quirky narrative based on archival research, information obtained from books, and new interviews with Plath's fellow guest editors.
I was curious how one would write a 265-page biography based on one month/one summer of Plath's life. October 1962, I could see: there is a fair amount of information about this period and certainly enough creative work to really bring that aspect in as well. But, June 1953 there is less material available: very few letters, sparse journal-writing, no creative writing (other than possibly copy Plath wrote for the Mademoiselle issue). The bulk of the book is structured week-by-week (First Week, Second Week, etc.), which is a brilliant way to approach the events; and within each chapter there are sections which break down quite nicely into manageable, readable bits of writing.
There are additional chapters too, that widen the context from just Sylvia Plath in June 1953 such as "Sylvia Before," "The Issue," and "Aftermath" to name a few. "Sylvia Before" is one of the more successful chapters of the book: in particular the sub-content in this chapter such as "Field Trip" (and the sub-sub content "Vitals") and - the best of them all - "A Dictionary of Adolescence." This is Pain, Parties, Work is at its best. The chapter "The Issue" is a short, intense look at the the August 1953 Mademoiselle: and bravo to Winder for such an examination. Salient details were also to be found in "Aftermath." Scattered throughout each chapters are boxes of quotes, memories, and other information. These sidebars contain contextual, supporting information, quotes and other information, but occasionally disrupt the flow of the text. As such, I was never quite sure whether to read the boxed off material in the flow of the narrative or as separate side-bars. There are many reasons to buy this book, not the least of them being for the perspectives of, Sylvia Plath, Mademoiselle, and 1950s style, fashion, and culture that her survivors give, as well as the snippets of new information.
A natural way to approach this book is from the lens of Plath's portrayal of these events in her novel The Bell Jar. Reading Pain, Parties, Work will require a significant wiping clean of preconceived ideas about what you think you know about some of the people and events from those 26 days in June that Plath manipulated for her book. Certainly some of what Pain, Parties, Work reveals about Sylvia Plath's "queer, sultry" month is mind-blowing. The most important scene to me was the event at the Forest Hills Tennis Club (now the West Side Tennis Club) in Queens. An absolute revelation. Like Plath's novel, Winder freely intertwines significant experiences from other years of Plath's life into the text. In The Bell Jar, we are drawn to Esther Greenwood's story of isolation and disappointment and depression and the inequality and double standards of 1950s America. Likewise and more importantly, we are also drawn to Sylvia Plath's experiences and emotions from the time. Esther Greenwood tells us in the opening chapter of The Bell Jar that she was "supposed to be having the time of her life" (The Bell Jar, 1963, 2).
What Winder has done in Pain, Parties, Work is to show that as Plath's fellow guest editors "shared their memories of June 1953, I realized that the difficulties Sylvia endured were not unique, but part of a larger crisis--being an ambitious, curious girl in the 1950s" (Author's Note xi). It goes to show that living the dream has consequences and that feeling of emptiness and of "moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo" was not restricted to just Sylvia Plath (The Bell Jar, 3). About the end of the internships, Guest Editor Laurie Glazer says it best: "We dispersed in different directions to have our letdown alone" (Winder 221). And this is part of the power of both Plath's story and of The Bell Jar: that there is a universality to it to which people connect with on what seems to be a molecular level.
Winder did her research, particularly with the fashions that were out that June, as well as things lost to me such as lipstick color, bra-designs (mind you, I do have an interest in this but possibly for different reasons), perfumes and other - dare I say - feminine things that had a profound meaning and influence on the 1953 version Sylvia Plath. I appreciate having the information now. The images in the book, though grainy, are relevant, but based on some of the memories recalled, the opportunity to present fetish items like the bathrobe Plath traded to Janet Wagner (aka Betsy/Pollyanna Cowgirl) was passed up. And, do any of the Guest Editors that year still have either the plastic starfish sunglasses case or the book of Ernest Hemingway short stories given to those who suffered from ptomaine poisoning?
To sum: Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953 is an easily digested book with fascinating new facts and memories of Sylvia Plath.
There is no excuse not to read Elizabeth's Winder's Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953. In addition to being available in print (which is the best medium) Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953 is also available on Kindle.
"Outstanding, in-depth scholarship by renowned literary critics; great starting point for students seeking an introduction to Plath and the critical discussions surrounding her work.
"Talented from the very beginning of her life, Sylvia Plath published her first poem at the age of eight in the "children's section" of the Boston Herald. She said of her childhood: "I want to work at putting together the complex mosaic of my childhood; to practice capturing feelings and experiences from the nebulous seething of memory and yank them out into black-and-white on the typewriter." Plath won several major prizes in writing and scholarship and her poems are considered today to be the most famous by an American female poet of the 20th Century, especially those in her 1965 collection Ariel. In 1981, Plath's Collected Poems was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, the first American poet to win this prize after death.
"Edited by William Buckley, this volume in the Critical Insights series presents a variety of new essays on the unconventional American poet. This work will introduce Sylvia Plath to high school and college classrooms. Such introductions are usually conventional: biography, summary of works, and the author's "place" in the history of American literature. This title provides such information. Yet, there is nothing "conventional" about Sylvia Plath. She is a unique, rare, rebellious and unexpected voice in American literature.
"Rounding out the volume are a chronology of Plath's life and a list of her principle publications as well as a bibliography for readers seeking to study this fascinating poet in greater depth.
"A chronology of the author's life, A complete list of the author's works and their original dates of publication, A general bibliography, A detailed paragraph on the volume's editor, Notes on the individual chapter authors, A subject index."
I am not sure of all the contributor's to the book, but can say that three of the contributors are Gail Crowther, Jess McCort, and myself.
Congratulations Bill and all the contributors.
UPDATE: 16 APRIL 2013: You can view the Table of Contents here.
This is another review that I started ages ago and only recently uncovered. Not that it is worth publishing as it is in itself a poorly written review about a poorly written book: a reflection perhaps of the work itself... I have two reviews in the works as well, of Elizabeth Winder's Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953 (HarperCollins, 2013) and Marianne Egeland's Claiming Sylvia Plath: The Poet as Exemplary Figure (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013).
Adbo Publishing Company published How to Analyze the Works of Sylvia Plath by Victoria Peterson-Hilleque recently (978-1617834578). It is a slim volume geared toward students in grades 6-8 and features chapters which discuss Plath's life, The Bell Jar, "Daddy," "Lady Lazarus," and "Three Women." Two chapters examine each of Plath's works and are structured with one chapter being an "Overview" and the second applying different critical approaches to the work. It works out like this: The Bell Jar (Biographical criticism); "Daddy" (Psychoanalytical criticism); "Lady Lazarus" (Feminist criticism); and "Three Women" (Structuralism). The "How to Apply" such-and-such criticism to the work are written like an essay might be written, with thesis points and conclusions, etc. Their merit as being well-written or as representative to what a teacher might expect from a student is not for me to judge.
The content of the book is mediocre at best and I think that is being kind. It is victim of a poor understanding of Plath by the author and series editor; as well, there are questionably relevant illustrations and captions, and a fairly poor section in the back matter in particular the bibliography and resources.
p. 16: The Harvard summer school course to which Plath was rejected was taught by Frank O'Connor not Frank O'Hara.
p. 17: Hughes was not well known when he met Plath in 1956.
p. 20, caption: The photo on this page shows Ariel, Birthday Letters and Crow. The caption reads, "Plath would never see much of her work published. Ariel was published in 1965, two years after her death." That the photo shows two books by Ted Hughes makes no sense.
Ladies Day, not the Ladies Home Journal, hosted the luncheon.
Again, it is unclear who is responsible for the "essays" in these "How to Apply" chapters: one might presume that it is Peterson-Hilleque.
p. 43: "Plath writes in her journals about Norton seducing a waitress while he was dating Plath, which is something Buddy also did to Esther." Actually, Buddy claims that it was Gladys, the waitress, that seduced him.
Chapter 6: How to Apply Psychoanalytic Criticism to "Daddy"
p. 61: Otto Plath died in 1940, not 1943. By contrast, his death year is correct in the timeline on page 98.
Chapter 7: An Overview of "Lady Lazarus"
p. 66: Photograph of a scan of Hughes' "Last Letter" completely out of context.
p. 102: Plath's journals are not listed as "Important Works" and I beg to differ. Actually I do not need to beg; I just differ.
p. 104: Plath's 1982 abridged Journals are cited in the text, but the Karen V. Kukil unabridged edition is listed. Why the differentiation between works appearing in the Bibliography and in the Resources? Simply baffling.
Plath Profiles 6 is now closed for submissions and judging from the submissions the journal has received, it will not be considering late submissions this time around. Sorry.
The Editorial Board thanks you for considering Plath Profiles for your work. In a move to streamline production of the journal and avoid persistent headaches and formatting problems, as of the next volume Plath Profiles will no longer accept submissions originated from an Apple product. This has nothing to do either with the recent grant they were awarded jointly by Samsung and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation or with the fact that if you believed that hooey you got suckered: it is still the first of April, after all.
Has anyone else noticed that Google News and alerts has sucked recently (for something like the last four months)? I found this story today but, as usual, was not alerted to it via email, text, sky writing, carrier pigeon, etc.
London, AP--The recent news that the English Heritage has suspended the installation of Blue plaques has lead to last ditch efforts to commemorate landmarks associated with historical figures. Small amounts of money allotted for the plaques does remain, which has led to the quiet placement of additional blue plaques around England's capital city: London.
In conjunction with the recent 50th anniversary of both the publication of The Bell Jar and Sylvia Plath's death, English Heritage has installed several new, additional blue plaques in her honor in the Primrose Hill neighborhood that she loved.
The first house to receive the plaque is an unusual move: 23 Fitzroy Road. Citing that some of her most starkly beautiful and original poetry was composed here, as well as a few prose pieces that are undervalued for their wit, English Heritage installed the plaque recently in a private ceremony. English Heritage did not stop there.
Another blue plaque for Plath is rumored to ready for installation nearby at 11 St. George's Terrace, which faces Primrose Hill, as it is generally reported that much of Plath's novel, published under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas, was written here. Plath and Hughes both used the study here on borrow from Dido "Vessel of Wrath" and W. S. Merwin, the American poet. To commemorate the achievement of The Bell Jar, English Heritage and Faber are collaborating on a plaque which will incorporate the cover image of the 50th anniversary edition of the novel, published with fanfare and furore earlier in this year.

Q: How is the empty set represented as union of basis elements? Suppose $T$ is a topology generated by a basis $B$. Then each open set in $T$ can be represented as union of basis elements. But how is empty set a union of basis elements?

A: The union of nonempty sets is a nonempty set. But there are are no nonempty sets and hence the union is empty. As stated , it is a empty union of nonempty sets.
$$\emptyset = \bigcup_{V\in \emptyset}V$$

A: I'll clarify what the other answer lacks:
The expression $A=\bigcup_{i\in I}A_i$ means:
$x\in A\iff \exists i\in I:x\in A_i$
Let us take: $$A=\bigcup_{i\in\emptyset}\text{potato}$$
Then $x\in A\iff \exists i\in \emptyset:x\in\text{potato}$
But wait! There DOES NOT EXIST an $i\in \emptyset$ so we can never have $x\in A$
We can never have the $\exists i\in\emptyset$ part - so it doesn't matter if it's potatoes or BASIS SETS - you can't have them
If we can never have anything in $A$ then $A=\emptyset$
This completes the proof.

In the last few years, we've seen some pretty crazy full-court putts from a few tour pros at their alma mater's college basketball games. There was Stewart Cink's 94-footer at Georgia Tech that won a student $25,000, and more recently, Jeff Overton went back to school to drop a bomb and win a few fans a trip to Myrtle Beach at an Indiana game.
Not only did he have zero experience, but they gave him an absolutely whack, 1950s putter. Chris Carns had everything working against him and was still able to walk away $10,000 richer. Well done sir.

Home Science Astronomy Search for Second-closest Supermassive Black Hole by Astrophysicists
Search for Second-closest Supermassive Black Hole by Astrophysicists
Supermassive black holes have between a hundred thousand and ten billion times the mass of our Sun. As of 2022, there are over 150 confirmed supermassive black holes in our local Universe (with direct mass measurements). They are typically found at the centers of large galaxies, such as the Milky Way.
Two astrophysicists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have proposed a method for observing what could be the second-closest supermassive black hole to Earth: a behemoth 3 million times the mass of the Sun hosted by the dwarf galaxy Leo I.
An independent team of astronomers proposed the supermassive black hole, known as Leo I*, in late 2021. The team noticed stars speeding up as they approached the galaxy's center, indicating the presence of a black hole, but imaging emission from the black hole was not possible.
Now, CfA astrophysicists Fabio Pacucci and Avi Loeb propose a new way to confirm the existence of the supermassive black hole in a study published today in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
"In our study, we suggested that a small amount of mass lost from stars wandering around the black hole could provide the accretion rate needed to observe it. Old stars become very big and red—we call them red giant stars.
Fabio Pacucci
"Black holes are very elusive objects, and they sometimes enjoy playing hide-and-seek with us," says Fabio Pacucci, lead author of the ApJ Letters study. "Light cannot escape their event horizons, but the environment around them can be extremely bright if enough material falls into their gravitational well. However, if a black hole is not accreting mass, it emits no light and becomes impossible to detect with our telescopes."
This is the problem with Leo I, a dwarf galaxy so devoid of gas that it is frequently referred to as a "fossil." So, do we give up hope of seeing it? Perhaps not, say astronomers.
"In our study, we suggested that a small amount of mass lost from stars wandering around the black hole could provide the accretion rate needed to observe it," Pacucci explains. "Old stars become very big and red—we call them red giant stars. Red giants typically have strong winds that carry a fraction of their mass to the environment. The space around Leo I* seems to contain enough of these ancient stars to make it observable."
Astrophysicists hunt for second-closest supermassive black hole
"Observing Leo I* could be groundbreaking," says Avi Loeb, the co-author of the study. "It would be the second-closest supermassive black hole after the one at the center of our galaxy, with a very similar mass but hosted by a galaxy that is a thousand times less massive than the Milky Way. This fact challenges everything we know about how galaxies and their central supermassive black holes co-evolve. How did such an oversized baby end up being born from a slim parent?"
Decades of studies show that most massive galaxies host a supermassive black hole at their center, and the mass of the black hole is a tenth of a percent of the total mass of the spheroid of stars surrounding it.
"We would expect a much smaller black hole in the case of Leo I," Loeb continues. Instead, Leo I appears to host a black hole similar to the Milky Way's, with a mass a few million times that of the Sun. This is exciting because science usually makes the most progress when the unexpected occurs."
When can we expect to see an image of the black hole?
"We haven't arrived yet," Pacucci says. The team has obtained telescope time on the space-borne Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico, and the new data is currently being analyzed.
Pacucci says, "Leo I* is playing hide-and-seek, but it emits too much radiation to remain undetected for long."

Foreign Relations of the United States, 1969–1976, Volume XXV, Arab-Israeli Crisis and War, 1973
Document 149
149. Message From Soviet General Secretary Brezhnev to President Nixon1
Moscow, undated.
Acting in the spirit of an understanding reached with the President on this matter we were consulting during the last several days with the leaders of Egypt and Syria on the question of termination of hostilities which renewed in the Middle East.
Frankly speaking, the conversations with the Arabs were protracted and not easy ones. But nevertheless we are now able to say to the President that the Soviet Union is ready not to block adoption of a cease-fire resolution in the Security Council.
The President of course, understands that in the present situation the Soviet Union cannot vote in the Security Council in favour of a cease-fire resolution, but the main thing is that we will not vote against it; our representative will abstain during the vote.
It was not easy for us to come to this decision. The determinant factor was that we are being guided in this matter by broad interests of the maintenance of peace, by the interests of maintaining and developing of all the positive which has taken place in the recent years in the Soviet-American relations and in the international situation as a whole.
We would like to draw the attention of the President to one more thing. It is necessary, of course, to limit the task at this moment to adoption of a cease-fire decision. If one begins to broaden this task, to attach to it all kinds of conditions—like withdrawal of the troops to the initial lines, creation of some fact-finding commission and so on,—then it will in advance doom to failure the good thing for the sake of which we have agreed to act jointly.
We mention this because the hints of such an approach were contained in the speech of the US representative in the Security Council. If such proposals were put forward, this would place us in a position where our representative will be forced to object and to vote against.
We hope that this will not be the case and that coordinated actions of the USSR and the US will facilitate the cease-fire in the Middle East and the immediate renewal of active efforts towards getting a political settlement there on the basis of liberation of all Arab lands occupied by Israel.
This would be really a one more major step in improvement of the whole international situation, toward which goal we have already put together with the President so much effort.
The Soviet representative in the Security Council is getting from us appropriate instruction.
We expect that the President will also instruct the US representative in the Security Council to act accordingly. We hope to see positive results of our joint efforts.2

Top Secret. The message is attached to an October 10 note from Vorontsov to Scowcroft. A handwritten notation on Vorontsov's note reads: "Delivered to Gen. S. from Min. Vorontsov, 11:15 a.m., 10/10/73." Dobrynin telephoned Kissinger at 8:13 a.m. that morning and read to him Brezhnev's message. Kissinger responded that the United States needed a few hours to consider it and that he would contact him later that day. (Ibid., Kissinger Telephone Conversations, Transcripts (Telcons), Anatoli[y] Dobrynin File, Box 28) Printed in Kissinger, Crisis, pp. 162–163.↩
At 8:39 a.m., Kissinger called Dobrynin and said they would not have a chance for a systematic examination of the Soviet proposal until after 11:30 a.m. He added that the United States had noticed that there was a very substantial airlift of Soviet supplies going into Egypt and Syria and warned that this was going to force the United States to do at least as much. Dobrynin said that he would "flash" to Moscow on this. (National Archives, Nixon Presidential Materials, Kissinger Telephone Conversations, Transcripts (Telcons), Anatoli[y] Dobrynin File, Box 28) At 11:45 a.m., Kissinger telephoned Dobrynin and told him that a major domestic problem concerning Vice President Agnew was coming to a head that afternoon, which would further postpone a decision. He promised that Dobrynin would have a formal answer by the end of the day. (Ibid.) When Dobrynin called him at 9:45 p.m. that evening, however, Kissinger said that because of all of that day's events, he would not be able to give him an answer until the next day. (Ibid.) All transcripts are printed in Kissinger, Crisis, pp. 163–169.↩

The last drive in this roundup is Super Talent's UltraDrive GX (MLC), based once more on the practically-ubiquitous Indilinx controller.
Obviously, this is the firm's performance product. Super Talent offers both SLC and MLC flash models. We received the latter at 128GB capacity, although there also are 64GB and 256GB options. Higher capacity models are rated for higher performance. Our drive didn't reach the specified 260 MB/s throughput, but it delivered strong throughput and PCMark Vantage application results. At the same time, power consumption numbers were better than average, making the GX strong on performance per watt both for streaming and I/O operations. Setting I/O performance aside, Super Talent manages to deliver slightly more than other SSDs based on the same Indilinx controller.
The vendor also offers a garbage collection tool, called Performance Refresh Tool, on its Web site. Super Talent's long list of firmware updates demonstrates how much progress is going on in the SSD arena.


Yao Zengke, male, Han nationality, born in January 1960, Linyi, Shanxi Province, joined the Communist Party of China in July 1982 and worked in August 1983. Graduated from the Department of Political Economics, Beijing Normal University with a bachelors degree in Economics.
Yao Zengke, who is in charge, is the old man of the Central Discipline Commission. After graduation in 1983, he worked in the Third Discipline Inspection Office of the Central Discipline Commission. After graduation, he served as the Deputy Director-General of the Third Discipline Inspection Office of the Central Discipline Commission, the Deputy Secretary of the General Office of the Central Discipline Commission, the Deputy Director of the Eighth Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Central Discipline Commission, the Director of the Seventh Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Central Discipline Commission. Vice-minister of the Ministry of Public Prosecution, etc.
In January 2015, Yao Zengke, then the Standing Committee of the Central Discipline Commission and vice minister of the Ministry of Supervision, landed in Tianjin as the Standing Committee of the Municipal Commission and Secretary of the Municipal Discipline Commission.
In the first half of Yao Zengkes new year in Tianjin, in July 2014, when he was Vice Chairman of the Tianjin Municipal Consultative Conference and Director-General of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Wu Changshun dropped his horse. In the same month, the Central Inspection Group reported to Tianjin that there were frequent major cases of state-owned enterprises in Tianjin, the problem of corruption in the field of urban construction was prominent, and corruption at the grass-roots level in rural areas could not be ignored.
On August 22, 2016, Yin Hailin, former vice mayor of Tianjin City, was investigated. On September 10, the former Acting Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee and former mayor of the Tianjin Municipal Peoples Government, Huang Xingguo, were aborted.
In October 2016, Yao Zengke traveled across the province to Jiangxi as Deputy Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee. Last January, Yao Zengke was the chairman of the New Jiangxi Provincial Political Consultative Conference.
In the previous first round of supervision, Yao Zengke served as the head of the third supervisory group of the Central Committee, supervising Liaoning Province.
Last October, the third supervisory group of the Central Committee gave feedback to Liaoning Province on its supervisory situation. The supervisory group said that in terms of political position, some parts and departments in Liaoning Province had insufficient sense of political responsibility, problems of formalism and bureaucracy, and the forms of propaganda and launching were single and identical. In terms of strict punishment according to law, some local and departmental departments have done little work and failed to achieve the desired results. Some municipal and county administrative and legal organs have their own battles and insufficient communication problems.
According to Anhui Satellite Television News Broadcast on April 9, this morning, the 14th Central Supervisory Group of Anti-gangster and Evil Elimination supervised the work report meeting of Anhui Province held in Hefei. Yao Zengke, the chairman of the Supervisory Group, attended the meeting and made a speech.

Axe-Wielding Afgan Refugee Shot Dead After Slashing 14 People On German Train Screaming "Allahu Akbar"
German police confirmed that between 10 and 15 people were injured in the attack. Meanwhile local media reports suggested that up to 21 people could have been hurt.
The Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the attacker was a 17-year-old Afghan refugee who had been living in the nearby town of Ochsenfurt.
The refugee is said to have shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack. He was "shot" by officers as he tried to flee the scene.
Update 2: As some have speculated, it turns out that the axe-assailant was not local, and was in fact a 17-year-old Afghan who shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack on the German train.
Update: BBC reports local police confirm the axe-man has been shot dead.
As we detailed earlier, more than 20 people in Germany have been injured after a man with an axe went on the rampage on a train, according to German media.
The Express reports, the man then went on the run, with a huge police force, including a helicopter, in pursuit, and has been shot.
A police operation including a helicopter is under way in Heidingsfeld, a part of the city of Wurzburg in southern Germany.
Local media (in German) tweeted that 20 people had been injured and a suspect appeared to have been shot.
4 victims are reportedly critical, 1 moderately, and 14 being treated for shock.
No details as yet on the ethicity of the attacker but we would imagine the opposition AfD party will benefit further from the chaos as Merkel appears to be losing control.


As an incoming college freshman I was certain that I wanted to study abroad sometime during my college career but, at the time "study abroad" seemed more of a future mirage rather than a planned set trip. Now as the countdown to my adventure has turned from years, into months, and now into weeks I have to admit that my anticipated excitement has been somewhat muffled by my anxiety of the unknown. My life home at my college campus is a happy fulfilled one and I can't help but be slightly overwhelmed as I come to terms with leaving that happy life for a semester in Aix. Despite my hesitations, I have complete faith that the experiences, excitement, relationships and adventure which await me in Aix will be well worth all the nerves and worries that I wrestle during my final weeks before departure. My journey to prepare for Aix has seemed like a long one and I know that these final weeks of preparation will not be exempt from stress as I await the completion of my visa application, anticipate the assignment of my home stay family, pack, and figure out last minute travel arrangements.
Applying for my visa application has been a learning experience and I am still left a little bewildered wondering if I truly completed the application correctly. The afternoon of my visa application appointment my mom and I went to Boston carrying my collected documents, passport and application processing fee. After a bit of waiting my name was called and I was able to deliver my application, take what I'm sure are some very unflattering passport style photos, and even be fingerprinted. Currently, I am waiting to receive clearance on my application and have been diligently checking my application's status on the consulate website. Ultimately my advice to any student visiting a consulate would be to bring someone with you. Although it is only the person applying for the visa who is allowed into the appointment, it is still helpful to have a friend or relative there to support you.
I wish I could throw all caution to the wind and be wild enough to completely embrace the adventure that Aix will bring but I'm not quite that girl. So, as I finish my summer and prepare for the upcoming semester I can only seem to relay my emotions in following analogy. I feel as though my semester abroad is a giant water slide. Although I am a huge fan of water slides, I hate waiting in line and, I often feel a familiar pit occur in my stomach as I await the plunge. Packing, applying, and visas have all been a part of the waiting and have brought on the familiar pit. Now as the waiting is almost over I am ready for the pit to disappear and ready to ride the water slide which is my study abroad.

Philippines residents have been warned of a possible 'volcanic tsunami' after a major volcano spewed lava and launched ash into the sky

A volcano in the Philippines began spewing lava on Monday local time after a sudden eruption a day earlier sent ash flying half a mile into the sky.
The Taal volcano began emitting huge plumes of smoke on Sunday, leading thousands to evacuate and causing flights at Manila's international to be temporarily suspended.
Authorities have raised the alert level in the area to a four out of five, meaning that a "hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days."

The Taal volcano, located about 70 kilometers (45 miles) south of the capital Manila, began emitting huge plumes of smoke on Sunday.

It is the second-most active volcano in the Philippines, according to the BBC.
According to a bulletin issued by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, PHIVOLCS, the volcano began to emit steam on Sunday at 1 p.m. local time, which progressed into a "magmatic eruption" by Monday morning, which is characterized by weak lava fountaining followed by thunder and lightning.
On Sunday, the volcano generated ash plume which shot out one kilometer (0.6 miles) into the sky, according to Reuters.

On Sunday, the alert level for the estimated 450,000 people residing within a 14-kilometer (8.6 mile) radius near the volcano was raised to a level four (out of five) and remained in effect on Monday morning.
The monitoring agency warned on Monday morning that this alert meant that a "hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days."
The agency also warned that those residing in the area of the volcano were at risk of "volcano tsunamis," which are often caused by tectonic movement from volcanic activity.
"Areas in the general north of Taal volcano are advised to guard against the effects of heavy and prolonged ashfall," the agency said.
TAGAYTAY, PHILIPPINES - JANUARY 12: A column of ash surrounds the crater of Taal Volcano as it erupts on January 12, 2020 as seen from Tagaytay city, Cavite province, Philippines. Local authorities have begun evacuating residents near Taal Volcano as it began spewing ash up to a kilometer high Sunday afternoon. The Philippine Institute of of Volcanology and Seismology has raised the alert level to four out of five, warning that a hazardous eruption could take place anytime.
PHIVOLCS also advised aircraft to avoid flying through the airspace above the volcano to protect themselves from ash and ballistic fragments.
Volcanic ash spread as far as Quezon City north of Manila on Sunday, prompting the Manila International Airport Authority to temporarily suspended flights at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
The sudden conditions at the volcano forced nearly 8,000 people to evacuate as of 6 a.m. on Monday, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Philippines.
According to PHIVOLCS, lava was observed shooting out of the volcano at around 3:20 a.m. on Monday.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Video UN OCHA Asia Pacific showed huge plumes of billowing up into the sky. The agency said emergency response is ongoing.

The Taal volcano is located on the big island on Luzon in the Batangas province. According to the BBC, it is one of the world's smallest volcanoes, and has recorded 34 eruptions over the last 450 years.
The volcano is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and eruptions occur.
According to CNN, Mariton Bornas, chief of volcano monitoring at PHIVOLCs, said the agency measured tremors at the volcano in March 2019 though Sunday's eruption came as a surprise.

Whether you eating high-end Vietnamese cuisine in a Mission garage or trying on jewelry in an art gallery, pop-up shops provide unique consumer experiences.
Storefront is a startup that wants to create more of these experiences, by making it easier for anyone to find and rent short-term retail space. Today, Storefront announced raising $1.6 million in seed funding to expand into new markets, starting with New York City.
Opening a retail store can be an expensive and time-consuming process. As a result, chefs, artisans, and designers are increasingly turning to online stores or pop-up shops. The average national vacancy rates for retail space is 10 percent, which Storefront said represents nearly $20 billion in lost rent annually.
Storefront's goal is to make starting an offline store as easy as an online store. It matches people who need retail space with people who have it, and it tries to cut down on some of the friction involved with starting a physical store. Using the site, entrepreneurs can enter their requirements and search for spaces. Each listing includes detailed descriptions of the neighborhood, photos, nearby businesses, foot traffic, and photographs. Storefront also offers flexible booking and a standardized legal process that streamlines lease agreements and insurance.
Despite the rise of e-commerce, a vast majority of retail still happens offline. Pop-ups allow people to connect with their consumers, build strong relationships, and generate buzz at a lower cost with less risk. Storefront started out in San Francisco, which is home to a vibrant pop-up scene. Restaurants and boutiques here host pop-ups, and many of them go on to establish independent businesses once they get a bit of traction. Brands can also use pop-ups to fuel holiday sales, test new markets, or build buzz for new products.
Storefront has listed over 3 million square feet of retail space in the last six months and helped over 100 brands and companies open pop-up shops in San Francisco. It has partnered with real estate agents and malls like Westfield, Cushman & Wakefield, and Jones Lang LeSalle to list their unused space. In New York, Storefront has options such as a luxury Soho store or a spot in Grand Central Terminal.
Erik Eliason and Tristan Pollack previously founded and sold blog SocialEarth to 3BL Media in 2012. They then founded Storefront, which participated in the Angelpad accelerator Fall 2012 class. Mohr Davidow Ventures, Great Oaks VC, 500 Startups, David Tisch's Box Group, Sand Hill Angels, and others participated in this round.
Storefront is based in San Francisco.

I want the JSON file without the header

I tried with Edge browser there is still a header and also with Postman
Here is my code
namespace CDAPIs.Controllers
{
    public class CallSPController : ApiController
    {

        [Route("api/CallSP")]

    public string Get(string UserID = null, string Tokin = null, string SP = null, string Type = null, string Ps = null, string P0 = null)
    {
        string sDBConn = Functions.GetConn();
        string[] Parms = Ps.Split(',');
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(sDBConn);
        conn.Open();

        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(SP, conn);
        cmd.CommandTimeout = 0;
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

        string P = "";
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@P0", P0));

        SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
        var dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Load(rdr);
        List<DataRow> result = dt.AsEnumerable().ToList();
        rdr.Close();
        conn.Close();
        conn.Dispose();
        string json = Functions.DataTableToJSON(dt);
        //return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        return json;
    }

    public static string DataTableToJSON(DataTable dt)
    {
        string JSONString = string.Empty;
        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dt, Formatting.Indented);

        //JSONString = JSONConvert.SerializeObject(table);
        return json;
    }

Update:
This API will be used for Desktop and Web applications.

A: if you are using mvc5 try to add this lines to WebApiConfig.cs after config.Routes.MapHttpRoute
config.Formatters.Remove(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
config.Formatters.Add(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.JsonFormatter);
