Mr. Facebook is offering recaps (so I can get to be repetitive about my stuff 🙂 ). Better still! Martin Olsson is a sound engineer and he has promised me that I may blog about our collaboration with my thaw in the film "Patient Otherwise Healthy and Alert". Read it here:
It is difficult to continue to blog without any feedback. Then came the idea of trying to leave the old routine I'd got stuck in. How to do that? Well, I then suddenly got a comment, an approval. Someone had been to the film festival "Driving Us Crazy", and seen the many films with their own stories, or listened to the interviews. Not just one but two people dared to seek friendship with me via Facebook, and I asked "why".
The pieces fell into place when a sound engineer got an old post in the recaps from a previous year. The sound engineer was not just anyone, but the same Martin who had been sitting quietly in the back seat on the trip to the former Restad Hospital on September 12, 2013. We had never seen each other before. I had been promised a study visit at the hospital by the project manager at The Gyllenkroken Foundation, and possibly a "youtube" clip for five minutes. Apparently you can get a lot said in five minutes! This made me nervous. How do you tell such an important story, and where in this large hospital area, in such a short time? I had been to four different wards because of how they felt I was getting better or worse. I had only to go with the nurses without any information whatsoever.
The pieces fell into place with Martin's own wordless film from 2010 of a thaw in the Göta River in Gothenburg. The river runs right through the city. There's my association to the year 1955 and the Gothenburg College of Nursing. We had come to psychiatry in the theoretical training and a doctor told a joke:
"The border between neurosis and psychosis runs on the Bridge of the Göta River."
Simple as that to realise for the initiated. The Psychiatric Clinic is within the Sahlgrenska University Hospital area. The mental hospital was at that time far from the town center, out on Hisingen, and was one of the biggest: The Lillhagen Hospital. There was also St Jorgens Hospital. What year they got English names I don't remember. The shame was in the walls. The shame was not reduced by replacing the words.
So now it's thaw! The break-up of the ice! More and more people worldwide are taking control of their own situation, and protest against the abuse that they've suffered through the life-long diagnoses, stigma and detention. To me, the international film festival during the days of 16-18 October at the Big Theatre in Gothenburg, came as a positive shock. To say the least. The pieces fell into place! It was a remarkable thaw in me, which was recordable for the perceptive! Sure, every year there's spring, summer and autumn as well. Of course. But now it's about the Göta River and the border between neurosis and psychosis, which ran on the Bridge of the Göta River in Gothenburg.
In the Stockholm area there's an association for bipolar disorder called "Balance". In the Gothenburg area it's called "IBIS". I've been a paying member for two years. Each lecture evening without membership cost 50 Swedish krona. So then I became a member. There's an association for schizophrenia too. Or for other kinds of illnesses. It has become thaw! You can hear the sound of all the small ice floes, whirling away towards the sea.
Martin Olsson, who filmed a thaw without words, has given me the permission to share this experience. Many, many years ago we got a message during the Hönö Conference, that someone in the assembly was bitter. Afterwards I revealed it was me, and I also said why. There was no thaw that time, but a man told me privately that he'd had a vision. He had seen my cross inside the ice. The Bible says that each one of us has his own cross to bear. But he had seen my cross inside the ice.
The years have gone by and it has become permissible to speak of psychiatric diagnoses. But we who wanted to go out into the community with information would have had to be done with our emotions, and we had to be positive to psychiatric care.
How can someone help others, which is not helped herself? How many self-help books are there?
(In all of my previous blog entries you can see from where I've got my help.)

For DFJ, a Quick Close on Fund XII
DFJ, the 31-year-old, Sand Hill Road venture firm, is announcing a new, $350 million fund this morning — the firm's 12th early-stage vehicle.
We chatted with managing director Josh Stein yesterday about the effort, which he says took about two months from start to finish.
The biggest takeaway: Expect more of the same from the firm, which typically plugs between $10 million and $15 million into its startups; has six investment partners, including firm cofounder Steve Jurvetson; and has become known, largely owing to Jurvetson's bets, as an outfit willing to gamble on companies that are little out there — sometimes literally.
Among the firm's many Jurvetson-led investments: the rocket company SpaceX, the satellite company Planet Labs, and the electric car company Tesla Motors. Indeed, Jurvetson accepted a Crunchie award on behalf of SpaceX at last night's Crunchies awards ceremony. The company won for the category of best technology achievement for its two-stage rocket, the Falcon 9, which was designed to transport satellites and SpaceX's own Dragon spacecraft into orbit.
Stein wouldn't talk yesterday about the internal rate of return of any of the firm's previous funds. He did say DFJ's last fund — a $325 million vehicle closed exactly two years ago — has backed an as-yet-undisclosed autonomous transportation startup that "we think could be the biggest company we've ever been involved with."

Novel synchrotron-based techniques provide an opportunity to look again at the classic problem of intermediate valence (IV) in lanthanide materials. Traditional electronic probes such as photoemission (PES) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), although quite powerful, suffer from specific drawbacks: the energy resolution of XAS is often limited by the short lifetime of deep core holes, and the small probing depth of PES makes it very sensitive to surface conditions. Consequently, comparison of the experimental results with theory, e.g. the Anderson Impurity Model or its lattice extension, is not free from ambiguities. On the other hand, photon in-photon out spectroscopies like "high-resolution" partial fluorescence yield XAS (PFY-XAS) or resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) , and hard X-ray photoemission (HAXPES) , have recently demonstrated the ability to probe changes in the bulk 4f configuration occurring at the characteristic low-energy "Kondo" scale kBTK. Our experiment performed at beamline ID16 on selected Yb compounds was an attempt to compare the information available from these complementary techniques .
Figure 5a shows PFY-XAS data for the IV compound YbInCu4, measured at the Yb L3 (2p3/2) edge by recording the intensity of the Yb L (3d5/2 2p3/2) fluorescence. The spectra reveal distinct Yb2+ and Yb3+ features, split in the final state by the Coulomb interaction with the core hole. Their intensities are proportional to the weights of the Yb2+ and Yb3+ configurations in the hybrid ground state. The spectral weight transfer observed between 300 K and 20 K in YbInCu4, but not in the Yb2+ reference material, demonstrates the Yb valence change predicted by the Kondo scenario . The temperature changes are even more visible in the RIXS data of Figure 5b, which illustrate the energy distribution of the photons emitted in the 3d5/2 2p3/2 radiative recombination. The excitation energy was set at the maximum of the 2+ XAS feature, which led to a selective resonant enhancement of the Yb2+ contribution.
Fig. 5: a) PFY-XAS spectra of YbInCu4 and of an Yb2+ reference compound at 300 K and 20 K. b) L RIXS spectra measured at the maximum of the Yb2+ resonance.
A temperature-dependent intensity transfer between the Yb2+ and Yb3+ spectral features is also observed in the HAXPES data of Figure 6a, measured at ID16 with the VolPE spectrometer . The experimental 4f spectrum of Figure 6b was obtained by subtracting the data for the sister compound LuInCu4, after removal of the core-like Lu 4f doublet. The Kondo resonance located at kBTK below the Fermi level EF and its spin-orbit satellite are remarkably free from the broad "surface satellites" that are typically observed in conventional PES data. The contribution from the first surface layer is estimated to be less than 5%. We have observed a similar spectral weight transfer in the Yb 3d5/2 core levels (at EB=1528 eV; not shown).
Fig. 6: Valence band HAXPES spectra of YbInCu4. The dashed line is the spectrum of LuInCu4 after removal of the atomic-like 4f doublet at ~8 eV. The difference spectrum is shown in (b) for T=20 K.
Figure 7 summarises the RIXS and HAXPES results. The temperature dependence could be measured continuously by RIXS, thanks to high detection efficiency. The RIXS data are in good agreement with thermodynamic and magnetic measurements, and capture the sudden valence drop at 42 K, in correspondence of a first-order electronic phase transition. They confirm that RIXS is a reliable bulk probe of the 4f configuration. HAXPES is directly sensitive to the 4f spectrum, and the data confirm a lower valence at low temperature. Nevertheless there is a quantitative discrepancy, especially for the valence band data. We have observed similar discrepancies for the other Yb compounds we have investigated. This suggests that the HAXPES data are still influenced by a perturbed surface layer extending over a range of a few tens of angstroms below the scraped surface. Its influence is likely to be reduced on cleaved single crystal surfaces, and especially by further increasing the photon energy, and therefore the probing depth, in HAXPES. Experiments at energies as high as ~10 keV are now possible by VolPE, and will be performed in the future.

Don't forget Microsoft's past
July 03, 2016 — BarryK
The comments here are an interesting read:
http://fossforce.com/2016/06/unlikely-return-microsoft-love/
The post from A. J. Venter about 3/4 down the page, is particularly sad. Their enterprise in Africa was destroyed.
I am one of those oldies who remember much of MS's tactics. Let's see, how far back do I have to go... I am forgetting the early Windows version numbers... there was a time, in the 80's, when you had to install MSDOS, then Windows on top of it. Or, you could install Digital Research DRDOS, then Windows -- except that MS upgraded Windows and it refused to install on top of DRDOS, claiming that it was incompatible.
Which it wasn't. I did manage to trick Windows to install on top of DRDOS, and Windows worked fine.
It was just MS killing off a competitor.
Ha ha, that was just the start!
About the same time, there was IBM's OS/2, that MS initially pretended to support, but in fact they killed that too. See page 3:
http://techland.time.com/2012/04/02/25-years-of-ibms-os2-the-birth-death-and-afterlife-of-a-legendary-operating-system/3/
Ah, no, it was 1991 when I ran into the problem with Windows not installing on DRDOS, when I upgraded from Windows 3.0 to 3.1.
See this article, "How MS played the incompatibility card against DR-DOS":
http://www.theregister.co.uk/1999/11/05/how_ms_played_the_incompatibility/
They were caught out in an email exchange:
"It's pretty clear we need to make sure Windows 3.1 only runs on top of MS DOS or an OEM version of it," and "The approach we will take is to detect dr 6 and refuse to load. The error message should be something like 'Invalid device driver interface.'"
I don't know if MS would be able to get away with such blatant anti-competitive behaviour these days. But who knows, considering the state of the US justice system.

A favorite destination of nature lovers, the Dolomites, or Dolomiti in Italian, is a mountainous region that is part of the Northern Italian Alps. Dominated by 18 majestic peaks, its diverse landscape consists of more than 350,000 acres of jagged pinnacles, sheer rock faces, icy glaciers, deep gorges, lush forests, and verdant valleys. Because of its stunning beauty and well-preserved Mesozoic carbonate platform system that was formed 250 million years ago, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009.
Throughout the Dolomites, towns and villages dot the countryside, each part of a fascinating smorgasbord of unique customs and languages. In fact, prior to the end of WWI, South Tyrol and Trentino were part of Austria, which explains why 75 percent of the region's population speaks German as their first language.
The Dolomites trace the northeastern border between Italy and Austria, running through the Italian provinces of Belluno, Alto Adige (also called South Tyrol), and Trentino. The highest point of the mountain rises nearly 11,000 feet above sea level.
The journey from Milan to Bolzano takes a little over 3 hours by car or train. While it's possible to see a lot of the Dolomites by train or regional bus, many travelers prefer to rent a car for exploring small towns and natural areas not on public transportation routes.
Weather in the Dolomites
Weather can change abruptly in the Dolomites, so be prepared for anything. Autumn generally comes early with frost present as early as late August. People flock to the region to see the explosion of color that the fall foliage, before winter blankets the landscape with snow that may not melt until late spring. Summers are short but beautifully lush and green.
What to Do in The Dolomites
Replete with dramatic crests and unspoiled lakes, rivers, woodlands, and meadows, the region draws visitors year-round, with most coming for summer or winter sports.
Here's a list of some things of the great things to do in the Dolomites.
Ski and Snowboard Spectacular Slopes: Its clean air, pristine surroundings, and lofty summits make the Dolomites an ideal place for all manner of outdoor winter sports. Depending on annual snowfall, slopes at the highest elevations may open by early fall and remain open until late spring.
Tackle a Via Ferrata Climbing Route: A via ferrata (sometimes referred to in the plural as vie ferrate) is a protected climbing route outfitted with steel cables affixed to the rock face, that climbers can use to secure themselves. Each via ferrata is ranked by difficulty — determined by the steepness and the length between the holds. The most sought-after vie ferrate are found near Cortina, Alta Badia, and Val di Fassa.
Take a Breathtaking Drive on the Great Dolomites Road: One way to see the Dolomites up close is to plan a car trip along the breathtaking Great Dolomites Road (Grande Strada delle Dolomiti). An engineering feat, the highway cuts through the mountains beginning outside Bolzano and ending in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Barrel Downhill on a Mountain Bike: Mountain biking is a popular pastime in the mild climate during the summer months. Whether you join a private biking tour or strike out on your own, you'll enjoy stunning views along winding trails and bumpy cycling paths.
Soar Over Snow Capped Peaks in a Hot Air Balloon: In early-to-mid January, the skies over Dobbiaco are filled with hundreds of hot air balloons participating in the annual Balloon Week festival. Book a private balloon tour that takes you up, up and away for a bird's eye view of the Dolomites' Alta Pusteria valley.
Dolomites Towns & Cities to Visit
Belluno: The alpine town of Belluno is considered the gateway to the Dolomites. Nestled between the Piave and Ardo rivers, this charming city is surrounded by meadows and rolling hills, making it the perfect home base for mountain biking, and trekking.
Bolzano-Bozen: The capital of South Tyrol, Bolzano, has lovely parks, flower-lined promenades, and a cog railway and cable-car that ferry passengers up to ski areas and plateaus with stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Must-sees include the Duomo di Bolzano and the Archaeological Museum where you can meet Ötzi the Iceman, an incredibly well-preserved glacial mummy dating back to the Copper Age.
Brunico-Bruneck: Brunico was founded in the 13th-century and is the largest town in the South Tyrol holiday area of Kronplatz. Adjacent to the ritzy Plan de Corones ski resort, other popular attractions in town includes Brunico Castle and the Messner Mountain Museum.
Cortina d'Ampezzo: Cortina d'Ampezzo is a fashionable village in the province of Belluno. Not only does Cortina have an abundance of scenery, but it also boasts museums, art galleries, fine-dining restaurants, luxury hotels, plus one of the most famous ski resorts in the world. In the summertime, mountain climbers flock to the area to try their hand at the challenging via ferrata hiking trails nearby.
Merano: Merano is a pretty spa town best known for attracting literary figures as Franz Kafka and Ezra Pound. Its main thoroughfare of smart shops and fancy hotels ranks second only to its beautiful gardens that line the River Passirio.
Where to Ski
Val Gardena Ski Resort: High in the Dolomites, Val Gardena in South Tyrol is an international holiday spot frequented by winter sports enthusiasts. Part of the Sella Ronda circuit, Val Gardena sports 80 lifts and more than 300 miles of connected slopes. The village of Selva Gardena offers visitors plenty of opportunities for cultural events and leisure activities.
Cortina d'Ampezzo Ski Resort: One of the world's most lavish ski resorts, the slopes at Cortina d'Ampezzo are ideal for beginning-to-intermediate skiers. It has 47 lifts and offers an array of fun activities for families such as tobogganing, bobsledding, ice skating, and even hockey.
Ortisei Ski Resort: Best known for its outstanding cross-country skiing, Ortisei Ski Resort is located in the Val Gardena valley. After exploring the quaint little town, you can take the narrow-gauge railway up to the 8,000-foot summit to see one of the most beautiful alpine pastures in all of Italy.
Where to Hike, Bike & Climb
Hiking: A must for enthusiastic hikers and climbers, the Belluno Dolomites National Park is a nature reserve with glaciers, waterfalls, forests, and archaeology museums. Renon-Ritten is another hiker's paradise, perched on a plateau that overlooks the city of Bolzano.
Mountain Biking: For the more daring cyclist, the Herrensteigh in the Kronplatz area offers a variety of challenging downhill and freeride trails.
Mountaineering: Monte Cristallo is located in the center of the Dolomites and has four peaks, making up the Cristallo group. The highest reaches an elevation of over 10,000 feet and can be explored by cable car or by scaling one of its three via ferrata routes. The 1993 movie "Cliffhanger," with Sylvester Stallone was filmed there.
Luxury Hotels: Stay in storybook alpine mountain lodges or rustic-chic wooden chalets with Michelin-star restaurants, world-class wine sommeliers, and panoramic indoor and outdoor infinity pools. An adults-only option near Bolzano, Preidlhof Luxury DolceVita Resort was recently named one of the world's top spa hotels.
Wellness Hotels: Indulge in pampering treatments and unwind in thermal spas at a Dolomites wellness hotel. Facilities and services available include swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, aromatic baths and soothing body massages. In Ortisei, Adler Spa Resort Dolomiti offers a high-end experience. Hotel Quelle Nature Spa Resort is a luxury wellness hotel with a family atmosphere northeast of Bruneck.
Mountain & Alpine Huts: Also referred to as refuges, mountain or alpine huts are sprinkled all over the Dolomites. They serve as a rest stop where hikers and mountain climbers can grab a hearty meal before heading back out on the trail again. Some huts offer overnight stays, but booking ahead is highly recommended.
The official website of the South Tyrol has loads of information on things to do and places to stay in the Dolomites.

After the hideous Dulhan, you might think that I would run screaming towards the present for solace rather than further back into the past. But this film was too tempting, with its catchy and familiar songs ("Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon" being justifiably the best known), its array of character and comic actors, and the extremely handsome and personable Shyam beckoning. Also, I just really never learn. And I was mostly nicely entertained by what began as a sort of Marx Brothers-type film with lots of sight gags and silly situations, and evolved into an intriguing story with an interesting romantic tangle—all punctuated by the joie de vivre of truly fantastic musical numbers (C Ramchandra). The only flaw is that the dvd didn't stop working before the end. I could have really lived without the last twenty minutes or so.

Quantum mechanics can be difficult to explain. Especially if, like me, you don't really understand it no matter how simple it is broken down. Regardless of my lack of understanding of what is going on, I have to say that the quantum garden is utterly beautiful.
The sculpture called the Quantum Garden was created by Robin Baumgarten. It may be hard to tell from the video, and even from the detail image above, but the sculpture is constructed from those springy door stops, nestled in neopixel rings. The shiny springs reflect the light to such beautiful effect. They're being used as input devices as well, you can tweak them, bend them, and slap them to affect the underlying math and evoke a visual display that illustrates the quantum process called "Stirap"
The Quantum Process we're simulating with Quantum Garden is called Stirap, but introductory texts seem hard to come by, even the wiki page is dense. In essence, it's simulating a quantum state transfer from one state to another via an intermediary stage (like pouring water from one glass on the left to a glass on the right via a middle glass, but because it's a quantum process, you need to use a 'counter intuitive approach' and swap the empty middle glass with the glass on the right to get optimal results. That's as far as I understand it from the science team, anyway!). In the installation, the state of the left 'glass' is mapped to the middle, and concentric rings moving outwards mean that the quantum state is moving to the right 'glass'
The project was a team effort, Curated by Dr Annakaisa Kultima, and showing the work of Prof. Sabrina Maniscalco from the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Turku Finland.

Well of course every character in Uncharted 4 uses a Sony Xperia Z5
By James Peckham
Because Drake can now take selfies
Uncharted has become one of the most iconic game franchises of all time, best known for its unique set pieces, stunning landscapes and great dialogue – and, soon, the ability to take selfies as Nathan Drake.
After the success of the selfie camera in GTA V, it seems Uncharted 4 will include a camera phone in its new multiplayer mode – and of course it's the Sony Xperia Z5.
Uncharted 4 is currently testing out its multiplayer beta mode on PlayStation 4, in which you're able you whip out Sony's latest flagship phone and take a selfie over your victims.
Screenshots and gameplay footage clearly show it's the new Sony Xperia Z5. It has the same frosted glass back, the Sony logo in the same position with an NFC logo just above, and you can also see the metal edges.
Hard placement
It seems you'll always be using this green version of the phone, no matter what character you play as. It's a cool little feature – but really, couldn't Naughty Dog have just gone with a generic handset?
It's just another example of Sony's aggressive product placement.
Take Hotel Transylvania 2, for example – a film made by Sony Pictures Animation – in which the main character Count Dracula brandishes a Sony phone. It feels a bit much for an animated film about vampires and werewolves.
It was a similar story in Neil Blomkamp's Chappie, distributed by Sony's subsidiary Columbia Pictures and in which the title character got his hands on some Sony PlayStation 4 consoles.
Chappie takes his new PS4 collection, wires them all up together and uses the computing power to transfer his consciousness.
It makes sense with the storyline, but the fact that the PS4s appear in their packaging, and are clearly name-checked, makes it feel a bit too ham-fisted.
Then we have the Bond films, well known for their not-so-subtle product placement. According to leaked emails, Sony paid Daniel Craig £3.3 million to hold up the Xperia T3 in Skyfall.
Sure, product placement is rife in Hollywood, and Sony's not the only big offender. But can't we have a bit of restraint? Having the phenomenon spread to animated films and video games feel like a step too far.
You can watch a video below of Nathan taking a selfie in the Uncharted 4 multiplayer beta.

Mr. Aoranisaka has been with the Royal Solomon Islands Police force (RSIPF) for more than 34 years, serving in various senior capacities in the past 12 years. He is currently the Assistant Commissioner responsible for Honiara City.
Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo announced this on Friday night, after cabinet endorsed the appointment late on Friday.
The endorsement was based on the recommendation of the Police and Correctional Services Commission.
The Commissioner of Police is charged with the overall administrative management of the police force under the established standing orders. Consequently, the Commissioner reports directly to the Prime Minister and is also a member of the national security council chaired by the Prime Minister.
Under the Commissioner of Police are several formation commanders who control the various arms of the Police Force such as the General Service Unit, the Crimimal Invesitations Department and Police Operations.

Q: Write accented characters to file using \write I am trying to output some information to an auxiliary file using \write and among other things I have authors names that often include accented letters. If I use the string explicitly, the accented letters are expanded into TeX commands, but I can solve this by using \unexpanded. However, if the string is contained in a variable, and I use \unexpanded, I get the name of the variable instead of its content. The command \unexpanded works fine again if the variable is a command parameter, for example #1.
I don't have an understanding of expansion that is clear enough to sort this out, so any help is appreciated. All I want to do is to write the content of a variable holding a string with accented letters to the text file.
Here is a minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\newwrite\file
\immediate\openout\file=\jobname_extra.txt
\AtEndDocument{\closeout\file}

\begin{document}
\immediate\write\file{Test 1}                 % works fine
\immediate\write\file{José}                   % expands into TeX code
\immediate\write\file{\unexpanded{José}}      % works fine
\def\mystring{José}
\immediate\write\file{\mystring}              % expands into TeX code
\immediate\write\file{\unexpanded{\mystring}} % outputs \mystring literally
\newcommand{\writeaccented}[1]{
  \immediate\write\file{\unexpanded{#1}}
}
\writeaccented{José}                          % works fine
\end{document}

EDIT: I received two answers to use either \expandafter\unexpanded\expandafter{\mystring} or \detokenize\expandafter{\mystring}. These work fine on the minimal example above, but not on the real example, making me think that the expansion in my case is happening earlier. Here is the new minimal example that is closer to my real case:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xstring}

\newwrite\file
\immediate\openout\file=\jobname_extra.txt
\AtEndDocument{\closeout\file}

\begin{document}
\def\listofauthors{José Saramago, Luigi Pirandello and Władysław Reymont}
\makeatletter
\StrSubstitute[0]{\listofauthors}{, }{,}[\@cpauthors]
\StrSubstitute[0]{\@cpauthors}{ and }{,}[\@cpauthors]
\@for \@cpauthor:=\@cpauthors\do{%
  \immediate\write\file{<author>\expandafter\unexpanded\expandafter{\@cpauthor}</author>}
}
\makeatother
\end{document}

EDIT 2: adding \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} prevents the expansion into TeX commands, but outputs accented letters in ISO-8859 encoding instead of unicode. I tried both with and without the proposed solutions.
EDIT 3: the solution that worked for me is in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/390119/36823. Thank you!

A: You can use \detokenize:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\newwrite\file
\immediate\openout\file=\jobname_extra.txt
\AtEndDocument{\closeout\file}

\begin{document}

\def\mystring{José}

\immediate\write\file{\detokenize\expandafter{\mystring}} % outputs \mystring literally

\end{document}

The contents of the _extra file is
José

The hex dump:
0000000 4a 6f 73 c3 a9 0a
0000006

The UTF-8 representation of é is indeed C3 A9.

A different approach for the more complicated situation:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xparse}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\iow_new:N \g_giampiero_output_stream
\tl_new:N \l__giampiero_write_temp_tl

% This can be used for other similar write operations
\cs_new_protected:Nn \giampiero_write_generic:nn

 }

\cs_generate_variant:Nn \seq_set_split:Nnn {NnV}
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \giampiero_writeauthors:n { V }
\ExplSyntaxOff

\newcommand\listofauthors{José Saramago, Luigi Pirandello and Władysław Reymont}

\begin{document}

\writeauthors{José Saramago, Luigi Pirandello and Władysław Reymont}

\writeauthors*{\listofauthors}

\end{document}

Here is the contents of the generated file:

A: Expansion is a weird beast in TeX ;-)
\immediate\write\file{\expandafter\unexpanded\expandafter{\mystring}} %

will expand the content of \mystring first before \unexpanded can 'protect' it again.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\newwrite\file
\immediate\openout\file=\jobname_extra.txt
\AtEndDocument{\closeout\file}

\end{document}

José%%%%% This one is from \expandafter\unexpanded\expandafter{\mystring}
José

A: Answer to example with xstring
Package xstring knows several expansion modes, see section "3.1 Expansion of arguments" of the documentation.
In this case, \listofauthors should contain the plain author names as given in the example. Then, mode \expandarg just expands the first token, macro \listofauthors, but without further expansion.
The example limits the effect of \expandarg by a group. It uses \detokenize and removes a unnecessary \expandafter.

Biografia
Gabriel Mendy è nato il 9 aprile 1967 a Lamin, divisione della West Coast e diocesi di Banjul, sulla costa della Repubblica del Gambia; ha quattro fratelli e due sorelle che vivono tutti nella capitale Banjul.

Formazione e ministero sacerdotale
Dopo aver compiuto gli studi primari, ha frequentato la St. Peter's Tecnical and Senior Secondary School nella città nativa ed ha ottenuto il diploma nel 1985. Sentendo maturare la vocazione al sacerdozio, diciottenne, ha deciso di entrare nella Congregazione dello Spirito Santo ed ha svolto il noviziato fino al 1987, anno in cui si è trasferito a Nsukka, in Nigeria, dove ha studiato filosofia per tre anni. Dal 1990 al 1991 ha poi svolto un'esperienza pastorale nella parrocchia Holy Trinity a Kenema in Sierra Leone.

Nel 1992 si è trasferito a Pittsburgh, negli Stati Uniti d'America, dove si è iscritto alla Duquesne University ed ha conseguito il baccellierato in filosofia, prestando contemporaneamente servizio al St. Peter's Seminary and St. Theresa's Secondary School. Nel 1993 è tornato in Nigeria, proseguendo il percorso formativo in teologia alla Spiritan International School of Theology di Enugu fino al 1997. Intanto il 31 agosto 1996 ha emesso la professione solenne per gli spiritani ed ha ricevuto l'ordinazione sacerdotale il 15 novembre 1997 per imposizione delle mani di Michael Joseph Cleary, C.S.Sp., vescovo di Banjul.

Poco dopo l'ordinazione ha iniziato il ministero pastorale presentando servizio nelle parrocchie di St. Peter e St. Theresa per un anno, divenendo poi collaboratore nella parrocchia St. Martin of Porres a Freetown, capitale della Sierra Leone, dal 1997 al 1998. Nel 1999 è divenuto insegnante nel pre-seminario maggiore di St. Kizito e parroco nella parrocchia della Holy Trinity a Kenema, dove aveva già svolto la prima esperienza, venendo trasferito all'ufficio di parroco nella parrocchia Holy Mary a Pendembu, in Sierra Leone, nel 2002.

Nel 2004 è tornato negli Stati Uniti per continuare gli studi in teologia sistematica, nuovamente alla Duquesne University di Pittsburgh, conseguendo il dottorato di ricerca dopo cinque anni; nel 2009 si è spostato a New York, dove ha ricoperto l'incarico di  vicario parrocchiale nella parrocchia Our Lady Star of the Sea per un anno; dal 2006 al 2016 è stato collaboratore estivo della stessa parrocchia, dove esortava spesso i parrocchiani a partecipare all'adorazione eucaristica tenuta nella cappella. Al suo rientro in Nigeria, nel 2010 è divenuto docente di ecclesiologia, teologia fondamentale, teologia del culto, liturgia e catechesi presso la Spiritan International School of Theology, dove era già stato studente, e dal 2011 è stato anche vicerettore del medesimo istituto, svolgendo tali ruoli fino alla promozione all'episcopato.

Ministero episcopale
Il 30 novembre 2017 papa Francesco lo ha nominato, cinquantenne, vescovo di Banjul; è succeduto al settantacinquenne Robert Patrick Ellison, C.S.Sp., dimissionario per raggiunti limiti d'età dopo undici anni di governo pastorale. Tale nomina lo ha reso il primo gambiano a ricoprire questo ufficio, essendo tutti i suoi predecessori missionari irlandesi, ed in generale il primo della sua nazionalità ad essere elevato all'episcopato. Dal settembre precedente si trovava nel distretto di Staten Island a New York per un anno sabbatico presso la parrocchia St. Christopher e nel mese di dicembre ha incontrato il cardinale Timothy Dolan, arcivescovo metropolita di New York, presso la residenza di quest'ultimo a Manhattan, dove il porporato gli ha donato una mitria ed un abito talare, nonché un anello e un bastone pastorale in preparazione della sua consacrazione e dell'intronizzazione.

Ha ricevuto la consacrazione episcopale il 3 febbraio 2018, all'Independence Stadium di Bakau, per imposizione delle mani di Edward Tamba Charles, arcivescovo metropolita di Freetown, assistito dai co-consacranti monsignori Ellison, suo predecessore, e John Bonaventure Kwofie, C.S.Sp., vescovo di Sekondi-Takoradi. Ha preso possesso della diocesi durante una cerimonia svoltasi nella cattedrale di Nostra Signora dell'Assunzione a Banjul il giorno successivo, 4 febbraio. Come suo motto episcopale ha scelto Spiritus Sanctus vobis omnia docebit, che tradotto vuol dire "Lo Spirito Santo vi insegnerà ogni cosa" (Gv 14, 16-17).

Monsignor Mendy è membro del Consiglio di amministrazione della fondazione Giovanni Paolo II per il Sahel, fondata nel 1984, partecipando alle riunioni svoltasi dal 19 al 23 febbraio 2018 e dal 18 al 22 febbraio 2019, entrambe svoltasi a Dakar, capitale del Senegal. L'11 giugno 2018 si è recato in Vaticano per la visita ad limina apostolorum, allo scopo di discutere con il pontefice della situazione e dei problemi relativi alla sua diocesi.

Roger Sprung (born August 29, 1930, in New York City) is an American banjo player and teacher best known for introducing authentic bluegrass banjo picking styles to the folk music community in the north and for the eclectic manner in which he has adapted bluegrass banjo techniques to music of other genres. His 1963 album Progressive Bluegrass may have been the first use of that title, later applied to a subgenre of bluegrass music by him and others.

Biography

Beginnings
Roger Sprung began playing music at the age of seven when an interest in the piano was sparked by his nanny who taught him to play a tune. Later, around age ten, Roger took formal piano lessons for about a year, but by then he had already taught himself to play by ear. He was introduced to folk music as a teenager in 1947 when his older brother took him to hear musicians perform in New York's Washington Square.  After taking up the guitar Roger soon took up the banjo, teaching himself to play by ear with the aid of 78 rpm records by Earl Scruggs. He was also influenced by Pete Seeger and Paul Cadwell, as well as Tom Paley, from whom he took a few banjo lessons.  In 1950, Sprung made the first of many trips to bluegrass country, accompanying mandolinist Harry West to Asheville, North Carolina.  There he had his first exposure to such traditional country musicians as Bascom Lamar Lunsford and Samantha Bumgarner.  These trips became a regular part of Sprung's musical life, and he passed along the styles and techniques he absorbed during them to his fellow musicians in the north.  As  bluegrass historian and performer Ralph Lee Smith wrote, "Banjo player Roger Sprung almost single-handedly introduced Southern bluegrass music to New York through his playing in Washington Square."

In 1953 Sprung joined Erik Darling and Bob Carey to form the Folksay Trio.  The group recorded four tracks on an anthology album that also included performances by Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie.  One of the trio's songs, "Tom Dooley," would later be popularized by the Kingston Trio and become one of the best-selling folk song recordings of all time. Carey and Darling later joined Alan Arkin, who would go on to achieve fame as an actor, to form the highly successful folk group The Tarriers.

Sprung was also a familiar face in the mid-1950s Washington Square gatherings of folk musicians in Greenwich Village. When the first edition of The Village Voice featured a page one story about the music scene, Sprung was one of the players interviewed by John Wilcock for the article, and was featured in the lead sentence: "Roger Sprung, 25, runs a TV repair shop in Lake Mohegan, New York, but every week end during the summer he comes to the Village to play and sing folk music in Washington Square..." "Music Makers Quit the Square, But Only for the Wintertime"

In 1957, Sprung formed another group, The Shanty Boys, with Lionel Kilberg and Mike Cohen.

Career
Over the past six decades, Sprung has performed with such legendary folk musicians as Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson as well as with more recent country music artists Willie Nelson, Wynonna Judd, and Tanya Tucker. He has recorded with Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians and toured with popular jazz singer Kay Starr. His television appearances include the Jimmy Dean, Garry Moore, and Dean Martin Shows, and he has performed at both the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. For the past quarter century he has performed with guitarist Hal Wylie and various other musicians as "Roger Sprung, Hal Wylie and the Progressive Bluegrassers."  Sprung appears frequently at folk festivals and musical conventions, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, at which he performed for 30 consecutive years,<ref name=NancyCrevier>Nancy K. Crevier, "Roger Sprung: Newtown's Own 'Pioneer of Bluegrass'," The Newtown Bee, June 18, 2009, accessed October 24, 2009.</ref> and the Union Grove Fiddler's Convention in North Carolina, where in 1970 he was winner of the banjo competition.

In the 1970s, he was a frequent visitor to the annual New England Fiddle Contest in Hartford, and a photo of fiddlers jamming with him  was a frequently reprinted item in the contest's press kit, and on the home page of the revived contest in 1999.

In addition to his performing and recording career, Sprung sells and repairs banjos and has been teaching banjo and other instruments since 1950.  Notable among his former students were Erik Darling and John Stewart, who became replacement members of The Weavers and the Kingston Trio, respectively.

Repertoire
Sprung's recordings and concert appearances embrace a variety of musical genres.  In addition to traditional bluegrass and ragtime music, his repertoire includes arrangements of Elizabethan and classical pieces, Broadway show tunes, jazz and big band standards, and holiday songs.  Composers whose works he has arranged for banjo include Mozart, Weill, Sousa, Ernesto Lecuona, and Stephen Foster.  Among the selections he has recorded are ones as musically diverse as "Hava Nagila", "Hello, Dolly," "Turkey in the Straw," "Jingle Bells," "Puff, the Magic Dragon," "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," and "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter."

Sprung's instrument is a 1927 Gibson which he reconstructed himself using parts from two other Gibson banjos.

"Boys Keep Swinging" was a debut single by the Scottish group the Associates. This song was actually released before the original one by David Bowie and really attracted a good deal of attention back then in 1979. Still today it is one of my all time favorite cover songs.


Fear can be a limiting factor to your success—if you let it.
Most often, facing your fear means facing the risk of failure and learning to take failure as a learning opportunity rather than the end of the road. The greatest rewards come from the greatest risks, and being able to face your own fears and forge past them will help you achieve your highest potential.
Fear of failure keeps many of us from taking those big risks that can really move our careers and our businesses ahead. But if we listen to our fears, understand where they come from, and tackle them head-on, they can be powerful drivers of success.
I have failed many times across my life and my career. I have learned from each failure, big and small. My greatest lesson has been not to let my fear hold me back. By embracing fear and facing it, I've found I can channel even more energy into moving forward—whether that means getting up and speaking in front of 16,000 people in an arena, having a difficult conversation, or tackling a bold business challenge.
At the 2016 Worldwide Partner Conference, partners and I shared our stories of experiencing fear at the Women in Technology charity luncheon, hosted by the International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners (IAMCP) Women in Technology. Our guest speakers generously shared their stories of fear and how they overcame, went around, tunneled under, and blasted through it to become powerful leaders.
The idea of boldness came up several times during the luncheon. Not aggressive, not fearless, but bold. To me, being bold means acknowledging that your fear exists, identifying and assessing the reasons for it, making a plan to overcome the risks, and moving forward with confidence in yourself and your plan. Now that's a recipe for success.
Know your goals. Small and simple or big and scary, accomplishing goals gives us a belief in ourselves. Have a plan to get you where you're going, and don't let the hurdles hold you back.
Have supporters. Build a network of family, mentors, and colleagues who encourage you to be bold. Find them, leverage them, let them carry you through bad times, and return the favor when you can.
Pay it back. Help others achieve their goals. Sarah says she looks for the shining stars in her organization and helps them identify and reach their potential.
Celebrate success. As Sarah pointed out at the luncheon, it's easy to get caught up in the hamster wheel of constantly taking on the next challenge without taking a moment to celebrate our victories and the victories of others.
Jo Burston, Managing Director at Job Capital and Inspiring Rare Birds, has a vision to inspire one million more women entrepreneurs globally, and a mission to give every woman the opportunity to become an entrepreneur by choice. And, she's got the credentials to help make it happen—with all she's done, it's hard to imagine Jo ever being afraid.
Listen to your ah-ha moments. I completely agree with this. What we think of as instinct or gut feeling is just another kind of intelligence, trying to make itself heard. Listen to it!
Ambition is not defined by job title. Jo talked about ambition as either a very self-centered "hungry ghost" that you chase or as being fueled by a purpose and a desire to have a positive impact. I love the idea of putting our ambition in service to others, not just ourselves.
Ambition isn't just what you feel. According to Jo, ambition also comes from what others see in you. It's so important to surround yourself with people who will challenge and inspire you to be your best.
Ambition is behind what you see. It takes a lot of work and resilience to achieve big goals, and that's where ambition really lies—in that commitment and persistence to doing that hard work.
Mistakes happen, so grow from them. Success doesn't come easily, and the journey to reach our goals isn't always pretty. We make mistakes—sometimes big, loud, expensive mistakes—but we can learn and grow if we give ourselves space and forgiveness to do it.
Don't fear growth. Jo challenged us to ask ourselves, who do we want to be as we grow? We're all always capable of growing more, and this question helps remind me that every day is a new opportunity for growth.
Finally, Leasa Mayer, President of CRG Events, the organization behind much of WPC's logistical success, took us on a transformative journey. We thought about a time when fear paralyzed us, silenced us, held us back. I could vividly remember how I felt when it happened to me—not just the fear, but the disappointment I had in myself when I let my fear control the moment, and me.
Then we talked together about how that moment would have been different had we faced that fear head on, and Leasa offered us a challenge to do just that. For the next six months, instead of regarding fear as a limitation, a black hole we might fall into, or a dragon we had to fight, we should think of fear as a "clarion call of opportunity." We should rush in rather than away. For the next six months of the "Fear Experiment Challenge," we should see fear as a signpost pointing us in the direction to go (or not to go).
Like everyone else in that room, I committed to Leasa's challenge to use my own fear as a guide, not a limitation. Will you?
I think that applies to all of us, men and women alike. When we harness the power of fear, we become bolder, we grow, and we eliminate limitations.
How do you use your fear to drive your success? Share with us in the comments below!

HARVARD HONOURS FIRST LADY
Sunday, September 22, 2019 NewsdzeZimbabwe 0
First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa was yesterday appointed honorary ambassador of Harvard University Global Health Catalyst in recognition of the work she is conducting in Zimbabwe's health sector.
Director of Global Health Catalyst at Harvard Medical School, Professor Wilfred Ngwa, accepted the First Lady's invitation for the university to conduct its health summit in Zimbabwe on dates to be announced, adding that the university will bring in investors in healthcare and economic development.
Amai Mnangagwa was given her new role on the sidelines of the ongoing 74th Ordinary Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Prof Ngwa said the medical school had been following the First Lady's charity work.
"We are alive to the fact that she has been championing and leading programmes that are to do with health across the Zimbabwe, including the underprivileged," he said.
"We accorded her the new role to honour the work she is doing for the people of Zimbabwe, hence we want her to go across Africa."
The university pledged its support towards Amai Mnangagwa's work, mainly in the health sector.
"I think that having a Harvard-Zimbabwean First Lady partnership will be a very powerful tool that can set an example to other first ladies in Africa," said Prof Ngwa.
"We are happy that she has accepted the role.
"We are going to engage our partners across the world so that we support her work and that will make her work go further."
In her acceptance speech, Amai Mnangagwa vowed to continue working hard to ensure there was affordable and quality healthcare for everyone.
"I want to thank Harvard Medical School for recognising the works that I am doing in my country through my Angel of Hope Foundation which I believe persuaded them to appoint me their ambassador," she said.
"I will not tire and I promise to continue working hard because it is within my nature that when I focus on a task, I make sure that it is done. We are mothers of our nations, hence we should show commitment and work harder for our countries.
"The appointment is a great achievement and it is not for me alone, but for the nation of Zimbabwe because they have also pledged to assist our country, especially in the health sector. It is indeed a milestone achievement."
The First Lady was recently appointed as ambassador of another US-based organisation, Days for Girls, in recognition of her work.
Again, she was voted vice president of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD) in recognition of her philanthropic work and assistance to the less-privileged.
Also this year, the First Lady scooped the 2019 African Phenomenal Woman of the Year Award and the Pan-African Humanitarian Award. Herald

Man in Hong Kong becomes first known person to be infected with coronavirus twice
by: Russell Falcon
This electron microscope image made available and color-enhanced by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Integrated Research Facility in Fort Detrick, Md., shows Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 virus particles, orange, isolated from a patient. University of Hong Kong scientists claim to have the first evidence of someone being reinfected with the virus that causes COVID-19. They said Monday, Aug. 24, 2020 that genetic tests show a 33-year-old man returning to Hong Kong from a trip to Spain in mid-August had a different strain of the coronavirus than the one he'd previously been infected with in March. (NIAID/National Institutes of Health via AP)
HONG KONG (KXAN) — A 33-year-old man in Hong Kong has become the first documented case of re-infection of the novel coronavirus, researchers in the area reported on Monday.
The man was previously infected just over four months ago and researchers say his second infection is asymptomatic.
"The second infection was completely asymptomatic — his immune response prevented the disease from getting worse," said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University who independently reviewed the report for The New York Times. "It's kind of a textbook example of how immunity should work."
Iwasaki said that in order for herd immunity to occur, an effective vaccine would need to first induce immunity that prevents reinfection and disease — which she says happened in this case.
The possibility of reinfection has been reported but not confirmed, however, the Hong Kong researchers' data shows differences in the viral sequences taken from the patient — signaling a new infection.
Can you get the coronavirus twice? Scientists aren't entirely sure
"I believe this is the first reported case that is confirmed by genome sequencing," said Dr. Kelvin Kai-Wang To, a clinical microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong.
Dr. To says the research shows that the virus versions prove the man was reinfected recently, rather than the possibility that the infection is a holdover from the first infection, or "viral shedding."
Researchers in Hong Kong say the man tested positive for COVID-19 after a trip to Spain from the United Kingdom, where he picked up a strain that was making its way around the country.
Epidemiologist at Columbia University, Jeffrey Shaman, says the news should not cause "undue alarm" just yet.
"However, it remains very, very concerning — and this does nothing to dispel that — that we may be subject to repeat infection with this virus," he told NYT.
Iwasaki is hopeful, however, saying that the discovery is proof that immunity is happening.
"When you have second exposure to the same pathogen, you should elevate the antibody, and that's what's happening."

YQ - high-protein, reduced-sugar.
Yoplait's new YQ yogurts contain 9 grams of sugar and 15 grams of protein per serving.
The yogurts are available in plain, vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, mango, lime, coconut and peach varieties.
Yoplait's new YQ is made with ultra-filtered milk, which is milk that has been filtered to concentrate the amount of protein while removing much of the milk's sugar, or lactose, the company said. Lactose is a naturally occurring sugar that adds virtually no sweetness. The ultra-filtered milk is then combined with active cultures and goes through a special churning technique, perfected by Yoplait in France, the company said. The result is said to have a differential nutritional profile without the tart tang or chalky aftertaste of Greek-style yogurts.

Kieler Woche 2020 - Day 2: The Kieler Woche concept 2020 pays off
by Hermann Hell 7 Sep 2020 10:01 BST 5-13 September 2020
25 nations sail the Laser Radial Men Worlds at Kieler Woche © Klahn / Kieler Woche
Many things are different in the Kieler Woche 2020, but you can rely on the wind. Even after the shift to September, the sailors on the outer fjord are in good shape. After the strong winds and gusts on day two, the crews enjoyed themselves, converting mainly tactical skills into top rankings in medium to light winds.
"The wind was good until the rain started. After the big squalls it came to a complete standstill. That's why we didn't manage the full program in all classes," reported regatta organization manager Dirk Ramhorst. Apart from sailing, Ramhorst also has an eye for compliance with the rules of hygiene: "We have the impression that it is well received. And our concept is effective. After five cases of temperature abnormalities, we made quick tests, but they were all negative".
In the 505 fleet, there is no way around Wolfgang Hunger (Strande) and Holger Jess (Eckernförde). The serial winners of the Kieler Woche are also in 2020 the outstanding example of consistency. They finished all previous races in the top three, thus clearly taking the overall lead. Wolfgang Hunger is thus heading for his 23rd success. However, there was stress on the track for another reason: "On the first day we broke the mainsheet block in the second race, and a 1:2 ratio is not particularly suitable. Between the races we would therefore have to change something," says Hunger. The competition could not make sufficient use of this mishap.
And on day two Hunger/Jess were hard to beat with the scores 1, 1, 3. "The third race was very inconsistent. We were once in first place, but sometimes we were only eighth. Therefore, third place is okay," said crewman Holger Jess, who used every opportunity to compete with his helmsman: "We organized training sessions at Pentecost, participated in the Danish Championship four weeks ago and in the Swedish Championship two weeks ago", said Jess. "We are thankful that Kieler Woche is being sailed and we are very motivated. Sailing across the fjord just for fun is a bit boring after all," adds Hunger.
In the overall standings, the two have a small margin of points ahead of Kai Bertallot/Moritz Klingenberg (Kiel) and Stefan Böhm/Gerald Roos.
The missing regatta practice sees Contender World Champion Max Billerbeck (Kollmar) still struggling at the start. "I don't really have to sail the first cross at all," he said, annoyed by the respective placings in the three races at the first buoy. After that he started a comeback in each of the three races, making it to ranks 3, 5, 7.
In the overall standings, however, he dropped to fourth place behind his training colleague Eike Martens (Hamburg). "Eike has sailed strongly," Billerbeck paid tribute. The Danes are acting without a flaw. Sören Dulong Andreasen and Jesper Armbrust have so far shared all six race wins among themselves. Andreasen is leading just ahead of his fellow native.
After a day with the German flag at the top, the fleet of the Europes once again presents itself in its usual red-white Danish outfit. Anna Livbjerg, the defending champion of the Kieler Woche, overcame her early start disqualification from the second race and is now at the head of a Danish trio with the rivals Simon Christoffersen and Frederik Blöcher. The best German is Johann Tammen from Kiel in ninth place.
Laser 4.7
An outstanding first day was followed by a good second day, but Batbold Gruner could not quite repeat the results of two wins at the beginning: "It still ended quite well, but I didn't find my way into the mode today, didn't have the speed of yesterday," he looked at the results with a big portion of self-criticism. But the results were enough to defend the top position.
After ranks 5, 3, 4, the German Youth Championship of 2018 is leading, ahead of the Swede Erik Norlén and the Dane Magnus Heegard. "After so many regattas have been cancelled, Kieler Woche is extremely important", says Gruner.
The youngsters make it difficult for the world champion: In the Radial, Dutchman Paul Hameeteman managed to pass Belgian top sailor Emma Plasschaert. Among the 81 participants, the two Benelux sailors fought a long-distance duel sailing in different groups. Hameeteman had a better control over his competitors, scoring 1, 1, 2, while the World Champion of 2018 was unable to win a race today and finished 2, 2, 5. In third place is Anna Munch from Denmark. She already has a Kieler Woche victory on her books - but in 2014 in the Europe class.
At the German Championship of ORC Offshore at the Kiel Week "Halbtrocken 4.5" of Michael Berghorn (Kiel) had to clear the top position in the group ORC I+II. After the long distance the first up-and-down races brought those yachts into position which have strong up-wind characteristics. In group ORC III, there was also a change in leadership from "Halbtrocken" of Knut Freudenberg (Flensburg) to the "Immac Fram" with helmsman Kai Mares (Dänischenhagen). Only the "Bostik Bad Boys" (Jan Schmidt, Flensburg) defended their opening lead in ORC IV.
The new front-runners in the ORC I+II are the European champions of 2019, the "Sportsfreund" with helmsman Gordon Nickel. This year, the team only put the boat into the water on Thursday and then trained together for the first time on Friday. "At the first jibe I still thought: "Oh, that's going to be exciting! But then we quickly found our way around," reported crew member and Class Association Director Bertil Balser. Balser had expected that the "Halbtrocken 4.5" could not be beaten at the start: "The percentage of reach courses on the long distance was too much for that. After two days the "Sportsfreund" benefits from its consistency (2, 3, 3, 1).
Jens Kuphal's "Intermezzo" in second place overall put in a strong performance on the up-and-down courses (7, 1, 1, 5.5), but still drags along a seventh place from the long distance, which cannot be removed. "On the long distance really all courses which the boat does not like were included," Kuphal said. "On the ups and downs we gave the right answer. If we make a perfect start, we have all the options in hand. Unfortunately, we had to clean up an early start in the third race of the day. Everything is still open in the championship, said the "Intermezzo" owner and the sporting level is very high in the ORC I+II. In the current ranking the "Sportsfreund" is leading before the "Intermezzo" and the "Halbtrocken 4.5".
Back to last year's superiority: This could be the motto of the "Immac Fram" in ORC III. After "only" a second place in the long distance race on Saturday, the crew was on track in the short races on Sunday. However, two victories and a longer break while waiting for wind were followed by a third place. So the title battle with the "Halbtrocken" for owner and helmsman Knut Freudenberg remains exciting. After winning the long-distance race, he also succeeded in the final up-and-down on Sunday. In addition, the Danish "Stony VIII" is still in the middle of the championship action.
How the results of the ORC III at the IDM final on Tuesday will affect the championship ranking will only become clear after including the class ORC IV. The small ships start in their own group and sail out their own Kiel Week Winner, but for the German championship there is a common ranking. And there it is according to calculated time. For the "Bostik Bad Boys", who are perfectly in ORC IV, it seems that it is not yet enough for a top ranking in the combined classification.

Supreme's practice of shutting down twice a year ahead of a new seasonal launch has a way of building up anticipation, even without the benefit of any sort of marketing or advertising. Consequently, the unveiling of a new collection becomes a legitimate event, but getting through an entire season's worth of apparel and accessories can be an overwhelming prospect. We've gathered some of the season's best pieces -- many of which will likely be available in stores today -- as part of the latest Freshness Grid. Along with the Supreme goods, we threw in a pair of kicks as the finishing piece of the puzzle.
A glitzy take on the traditional varsity jacket, this one features rhinestone studded detailing on the chest and sleeve patches. Sumptuous cowhide leather adds to the premium look and feel.
It's become something of a springtime tradition for Supreme to revive its classic logos on its lightweight hoodies. This time around, it's the Motion Logo, which was first brought back in 2010.
Supreme's Work Pant arrives in a subtle check pattern for a vintage look. Give the solid colors a rest and embrace your inner geezer.
This season's take on the carryall features a 210 Denier Cordura build, with ventilated mesh padding on the back for comfort. A box logo and "SUPREME" printed in block letters across the top make this one for fans of conspicuous branding.
Sunnies have become a regular fixture in recent Supreme collections. The Factory silhouette features a classic rounded shape, and the exposed hardware and vintage tortoise shell design make this one a winner.
Keychains are oftentimes Supreme's hidden gems. This irreverent take on the Alfa Romeo logo is the latest example.
Ditch the shoe lace and invest in a real leather belt. Die cut detailing makes this one stand out.
Supreme's basics series with Hanes gets a new addition in the form of these crew socks. Essential black and white are the only colors you'll need.
The clean lines and minimalist design make this low-cut silhouette a versatile model that you can wear with just about anything. Originally built for the court, the shoe carries enough attitude for streetwear brands touting worldwide fame.

John Smibert (1688-1751) was the first portrait painter of distinction to attempt to carve out an existence in colonial America. This book by Richard Saunders is both a catalogue raisonné of Smibert's work and a discussion of his life and career.
Saunders explores Smibert's early Scottish and London training as well as his travels to Italy; his portrait practice in London; his arrival in America and his stylistic development; the creation of The Bermuda Group, Smibert's masterpiece; and, finally, the business of portrait painting in Boston.
According to Saunders, Smibert's portraits provide essential clues about the nature of portraiture in colonial society. Saunders discusses the social codes, ethnic prejudices, and religious intrigues that exacted a toll of Smibert and other artists of the period. He also describes how Smibert reconciled the conflicts between his search for spiritual well-being brought about by his Scottish Presbyterian heritage and his struggle for artistic achievement, social acceptance, and financial security. The catalogue illustrates more than one hundred and thirty works by the artist, as well as listing erroneous attributions and fakes.
Richard H. Saunders is director of the Middlebury College Museum of Art.

Swarosvki STS-80 HD Spotting Scope. Brand New in Original Packaging. What's in the Box.
Swarovski Optik HD observation spotting scopes will impress with their brilliant performance, fine resolution, extremely ergonomic design and unique functionality. These HD spotting scopes have a complex high grade optical system which allows for very detailed observation with high contrast images right up to the periphery and with total color fidelity even in poor light.
Digiscoping (photography through spotting scopes) accessories are available. With Swarovski Optik spotting scopes, you'll always have a balcony view. The Swarovski STS 80 HD spotting scope, for instance, offers such features as outstanding long-distance focusing, high light transmission, and ultra-high magnification power, turning every observation into an adventure.
The aluminum STS 80 features a large 80mm objective lens diameter, letting you observe objects in razor-sharp detail thanks to the scope's excellent light-gathering qualities, which work beautifully even at high magnifications. Every bit as important are the fluoride-containing HD lenses, which minimize color fringing (chromatic aberration) and deliver high-contrast images with precise outlines. The HD lenses are terrific for regular viewing, but they're particularly valuable for digital photographers who want to take pictures through the spotting scope. And thanks to the scope's straight-angle housing, it's easy to locate and follow birds in flight, or to observe from a car without being seen. Each spotting scope in the Swarovski Optik collection is well built and protected from scratches or dents. The scopes' enhanced Swarodur or Swarotop coatings guarantee lifelike color reproduction and outstanding image brightness even at dusk.
The scopes also feature a nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface of each lens. The coating--which helps extend the lifespan of your lens--is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin. Finally, each Swarovski scope boasts a rubber armoring that protects against shock and noise. Objective and ocular lens focal length: 460mm.
Shortest focusing distance: 16.4 feet. Dioptric correction: Greater than 5. Objective lens filter thread: M82x0.75.
About Swarovski Optik Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik's roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski--who invented the world's first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones--established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business. Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age.
With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father's factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6x30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company's first serial product, the Habicht 7x42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder.
