Bernard d'Ascoli in Concert at the JdP
In the penultimate concert of the 2015-16 Series, the virtuosic French pianist Bernard d'Ascoli returned to the JdP Music Building to give an outstanding recital of ballades by Brahms, Liszt and Chopin.
D'Ascoli was born in the south of France and began learning piano and organ at the age of eleven. After just eight years, he would go on to win prizes at several piano competitions across Europe. His career as a soloist involves performances with several British and overseas ensembles including the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. He gives recitals regularly at the JdP, and is best known for his 'exquisite and deeply-felt performances of the Romantic repertoire'.
Chopin: Ballade No.1, Op. 23
Brahms: 4 Ballades, Op. 10
Liszt: Ballade No. 2 in B minor
Chopin: Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52
In this performance, d'Ascoli chose to interweave the Chopin ballades with contrasting ballades by Brahms and Liszt. The concert was recorded live and, as of this week, highlights from the concert have been made available to view online.
Brahms's 4 Ballades were written in 1854 when the composer himself had only just turned twenty-one. These works have more of an emphasis on narrative than other works that had been written in this form, a sign of the influence of Robert and Clara Schumann who were very important figures in Brahms's life.
In 1853 Liszt composed his second and final ballade for piano, several years before he would create the 'New German School' movement. Unlike the other works performed in this recital, the composer did not state any specific inspiration for this stormy work. Nonetheless, there are occasional motifs within this piece that, as is noted in the programme written by Corrina Connor, are recognisably similar to those heard in the magnificent Tristan and Isolde by fellow composer Wagner.
Chopin's final Ballade in F minor was written in 1842 and dedicated to his patron Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild. Robert Schumann believed that the work was inspired by the poem The Three Budrys by Adam Mickiewicz. The pianist John Ogden noted that the piece is 'the most exalted, intense and sublimely powerful of all Chopin's compositions'.
D'Ascoli's exceptional performance of these challenging works was rewarded by an enthusiastic round of applause from the audience, after which he performed Chopin's Waltz in C# minor as one of two encore pieces.
These recordings are just a taster of what is to come with our new Live-streaming service, which will enable our performances to be streamed all across the world. Our first concert of the season features the pianist Jonathan Powell, another regular performer at the JdP, in a recital of Xenakis's piano works among other contemporary piano pieces on Saturday 29 October at 7:30pm.

Reliance first Indian co to reach Rs10 lakh cr m-cap
Last updated on: November 28, 2019 17:10 IST
Reliance Industries on Thursday became the first Indian company to hit the Rs 10 lakh crore market valuation mark following a spike in its share price.
IMAGE: Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani.
At market close, the oil-to-telecom conglomerate's market capitalisation (m-cap) zoomed to Rs 10,01,555.42 crore on BSE.
The stock rose 0.65 per cent to close at Rs 1,579.95 on BSE. During the day, it jumped 0.90 per cent to an all-time high of Rs 1,584.
At the NSE, it gained 0.77 per cent to close at Rs 1,582.
"It was only a matter of time for business tycoon Mukesh Ambani's company to test this milestone, considering the past investments made in consumer-facing sectors like telecom and retail. These investments have yielded fruitful results for the company and has been consistently increasing their share in the overall profits," according to Ajit Mishra, VP Research, Religare Broking.
Since the past few sessions, the company's market valuation has been hovering near the Rs 10 lakh crore mark.
On the volume front, 2.73 lakh shares of the company were traded on the BSE and over 62 lakh shares on the NSE during the day.
The company is still ahead of British energy major BP Plc in terms of market valuation. BP Plc's m-cap was at USD 127.86 billion at close of trade on NYSE.
"RIL today (Thursday) became the first Indian company to hit the Rs 10 lakh crore milestone in market capitalisation, after its shares rose to a record high. We will put two important factors that should be seen as a catalyst for this share. Firstly, the Reliance Jio disruption. Second is the stake sale to Aramco has further made its valuation going forward attractive since their aim to achieve the debt-free balance sheet is likely to be seen in FY20-21," said Mustafa Nadeem, CEO, Epic Research.
In October this year, Reliance Industries (RIL) hit the Rs 9 lakh crore m-cap level.
In August 2018, it became the first Indian company to have crossed the Rs 8 lakh crore m-cap mark.
So far this year, the company's scrip has zoomed nearly 41 per cent, much higher than the 14 per cent rise in Sensex so far in 2019.
TCS is the country's second most valued firm with a market valuation of Rs 7,79,501.64 crore, followed by HDFC Bank with a market cap of Rs 6,92,853.48 crore, Hindustan Unilever (Rs 4,51,482.38 crore) and HDFC (Rs 3,98,994.81 crore).
The m-cap figures of companies change daily with stock price movement.

As someone who has written fiction at university, and in my spare time, I am more used to writing character bio's rather than one about myself. I should start by saying, I am Lee Savery and I have just graduated with a degree in Creative and Professional Writing & English at the University of Wolverhampton. If you haven't guessed already, I do love to write.
There is so much to love about football. A football fan goes through every single emotion one can think of. I have been a Manchester United fan all of my life. To have been a fan during this successful period under Sir Alex Ferguson has been a great experience. The treble season will always be something I remember. Every now and again, I dig out the scrapbook of newspaper cuttings to remember such a wonderful May in 1999. Even now I still get goosebumps.
We've had some great players during this period but if I could select my favourite, there is only one name: Paul Scholes. I have so much respect for Scholes. He treats football as a job, like players from an era long before I was born. Even if he scores a hat-trick or one of his trademark strikes, you will never see him in the interview chair or on the front of some celebrity gossip magazine. His passing still astounds me as much as it astounds opposition defences.
If I could mention another player who gave me a lot of joy, it would be Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Our star during a period of transition and lack of success. A fantastic goalscorer. I am happy to say his autograph sits nicely in a frame in my bedroom.
Aside from football, I love to read. My current favourite series is the Millennium series with the final book, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest, being my favourite. In other obsessions, I have a love of Doctor Who, a well known addict of video games, a big listener of anything in the world of Indie music and an everlasting craving of Oreos.

Fresh kiwi and simple syrup are muddled, vodka and ice are added, everything is shaken together and poured into a glass. Kiwi martini is good!
Kiwi is short for kiwifruit. This luscious fruit with light green flesh wasn't always known by that name. It had many names in different countries (it still does, actually). It became "kiwifuit" in a branding attempt by New Zealand commercial exporters. You know, to associate the fruit with the country where kiwi, a bird, is the national symbol. Apparently, the marketing technique worked.
Kiwi is not all that popular in the Philippines. Although it is now widely available, it is still more expensive than most locally grown fruits. Not surprising because, after all, it is imported. Although it is not something that we can enjoy everyday (we wish we could!) because of its price, when we do buy kiwi now and then. Speedy is especially fond of kiwi and he experiments with it to find out what it will go with well.
He has discovered that it goes well with other fruits to make Filipino-style fruit salad.
He also discovered that kiwi is great for making vegetable salad.
And Speedy's most recent kiwi experiment — kiwi martini.
Muddle the kiwi with the simple syrup in a cocktail shaker (see how to muddle).
Garnish with the kiwi slice.
We put kiwi mostly in our vegetable salads, sliced thinly with the peeling. … Yum!
We did it gradually–reason behind the thinly sliced kiwi (we don't put dressing in our veggie salad too, so the kiwi tastes great amongst the raw greens) … Now we all love it, I can eat the whole fruit!
There's a really yummy kiwi/passion fruit cheesecake at Buffet 101. You might wanna try making one. Hehehe.
Ang sarap-sarap! Two layers tapos yung color nung top layer is mint green/aqua green and the bottom layer is parang very pale yellow. Looked and tasted yummy.
Kiwis call kiwifruit "kiwifruit" and to just say "kiwi" refer to the people or to the bird.
Incidentally, there are a lot of uses for the kiwifruit that I find useful — salads, pork-tenderiser, slushies, smoothies (very good for movement, I might add) and toppings for pavlovas and cheesecakes. I personally like the golden variety which you can eat skin and all, but the green variety has this gorgeous colour that brightens up dishes and desserts.
And yes, they are quite expensive in the PI, aren't they — I had the shock of my life when I saw the price there last year. A kg of kiwifruit in winter can be as low as .60 cents here. How to make sure your kiwifruit comes from Kiwiland? Choose the brand "Zespri" and you're assured thats grown in North Island.
Cheers, Connie — your site has comforted me a lot in those days when I crave something from home. Your recipes and ideas are really helpful!
I want to try the kind with the edible skin too. Still have to find it here though.
The skin of both gold and green kiwifruits can be eaten except that the "furry" skin of the green variety has the potential to be a throat irritant. The gold variety though has a smooth skin (similar to big brown yellow chiccos — sorry, I do not know the tagalog term) and is generally sweeter and softer than the tarty and firmer green variety.

Importance of Construction Planning
Construction planning and preparation play a very important role in today's construction. The effectiveness of the planning and preparation lead to the success of a project including the quality and time consumed in completing the project. A good and properly planned construction site can improve the efficiency and even the safety of the construction operation. Therefore, to construct a good building, the step of planning cannot be eliminated or skipped in order to save the construction time and money.
A 20 storeys of high-rise building is to be built on the proposed site at Jalan Universiti Utama. It is planned to be used as the highest building of condominium. Before the construction is started, a several stages of preparation have been conducted in order to have the most efficient construction operation.
PREPARATION STAGES
1. SITE INVESTIGATION
First and foremost, a site investigation on the proposed site is conducted. Desktop study is conducted where the initial study is done using the available data and information given by JKR. Time and money can be saved due to desktop study on the proposed site. Based on the historical data, no extreme weather is expected. Then, the site investigation is conducted to decide whether the site is generally suitable to build the 20 storeys building as different location has different types of geology and geography. Previous data may not be accurate as the properties of soil keep changing due to the environment. Boring method has been done to identify the soil profile. The condition and contents of proposed site soil can be identified. Laboratory tests are conducted to determine the soil bearing strength. Based on the results, soil on the proposed site is strong enough to support the 20 storeys building. However, special dewatering equipment and blasting are required for the preparation of site.
Analysis of site data is as below:
Site is in urban area = no transport and labor problems
Subsoil = firm sandy clay; dewatering and sheeting are needed as the water table is high
Based on historical data, no extreme weather expected
Amount of earthwork needed = normal
3 resident clerk of works; 15 workers normal; 75 workers maximum (estimated)
1 site office; 1 store; 2 toilets; 1 canteen; 1 car park
Water, electricity, telephone
Warning and sign boards
2. SITE PREPARATION
Firstly, site clearing and demolition activities are conducted where tree, stump and all vegetation are removed and exist buildings are demolished. This is followed by earthworks activity, where a massive quantities of soil need to be moved. Volumes of cuts and fills are calculated properly in order to minimize the movement distance besides determine the mass haul cost and distance. Time and money can be saved. Bulldozer and backhoe are used during the earthworks. After all the earthworks activity have been done, fences are built around the proposed site perimeter. Perimeter fencing is important to ensure that the construction can be operated safely. Dewatering is then conducted in order to drain the ground water due to the high location of water table. Next, temporary buildings included site office, canteen, guard house, store, toilets and car park are built to improve the efficiency of construction operation. Temporary access road, water, electricity, phone and air conditioning are ensured available to optimize the efficiency of construction works. Finally, sign boards and warning boards are placed at the certain places to make sure that no intruder breaks into the construction site besides to ensure the safety during the construction operation.
Periodic inspection will be carried out by the Authority during further construction. A report of each inspection shall be prepared in duplicate and a copy of the same report signed by the Authority shall be given to the owner or to his Architect/Engineer/Supervisor. Besides, owner shall submit a notice of completion of the building to the Authority. It may also submitted by the owner through his Architect/Engineer/Supervisor, accompanied by three copies of completion plan and the required documents.
In a conclusion, a construction stages are included site preparations, construct of sub-structures, construct of super-structures and external works. All these stages are equally important in order to optimize the efficiency of a construction operation in any industries area.
SITE LAY-OUT
One of the purposes of a site lay-out is to control and to increase the site efficiency. Time wastage need to be avoided by minimizing the walking distance within facilities and buildings. On the other hand, strategic material storage and usage are needed to minimize rehandling cost, breakage and wastage. Site lay-out is also needed in order to maximize the site and space utilization. Other than that, appropriate material monitoring and security can improve the efficiency of construction operation. Last but not least, the purpose of the site lay-out is to ensure the safety of workers and visitors.
Based on the above lay-out, there are several weaknesses of the site lay-out need to be improved. Firstly, there is only one entrance/exit in this site, which can cause negative effects to the construction operation. Construction operation may be delayed due to the traffic congestion at the entrance/exit. Two gates should be constructed where one is for entrance while the other is for exit. Secondly, store in the above site lay-out is located near the entrance. This may also cause traffic congestion when loading/unloading of building materials is operated. Besides, toilets that located beside the store may lead to pollution to the material if there is water leaking or overflowing in the toilet. Thirdly, the project signboard should be located near the entrance instead of inside the site. This is to ensure that visitors can find the place and get to know the information of the proposed building easily. Furthermore, the guard house should situate near the entrance and exit in order to manage the safety of the site. No intruder should break into the site for the safety of visitors and also workers. Lastly, car park is located too far away from the entrance where visitors need to pass by the construction building in order to park their vehicles. Their lives may be threatened as accidents rate in construction site is extremely high. Safety first!

Q: How to prevent an Enter key press from ending EditMode in a DataGridView? I have a custom DataGridView control in a Windows-Forms application.  When a user presses the Enter key, I do not want anything to happen.  I have already overridden the OnKeyPress method in my custom DataGridView to prevent the SelectedCell property from changing.  This works alright when a cell is selected but not being editted.  However, if a cell is in Edit mode when Enter is pressed, the CellEndEdit event is still fired and the SelectedCell property is subsequently changed.
How can I stop the Enter key from ending Edit Mode on my DataGridView control?

A: I have found the answer, thanks to varocarbas, who commented below my original question.  My assumption is that the CellEndEdit Event is fired somewhere following the ProcessCmdKeys() method-call but before the OnKeyPress() call due to the precedence of the ENTER key being higher than a normal key (it's a Command key). This explains why I was unable to change the behavior while a cell was still in EditMode using OnKeyPress().
The custom DataGridView that I created, which prevents any action from occurring following an ENTER-key press in a DataGridView, can be seen below:
Public Class clsModifyDataGridView
   Inherits Windows.Forms.DataGridView

   ''' <summary>
   ''' Changes the behavior in response to a Command-precedence key press
   ''' </summary>
   ''' <returns>True if we handled the key-press, otherwise dependent on default behavior</returns>
   Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As Message, keyData As Keys) As Boolean
      ' Was the ENTER key pressed?
      If keyData = Keys.Enter Then     ' YES
          ' DO NOTHING
          Return True
       End If

       ' Handle all other keys as usual
       Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
   End Function
End Class

Somebody please correct me if my assumption about the call-sequence is inadequate.  Also note, this ProcessCmdKey() override made my previously mentioned override of the OnKeyPress() method unnecessary.

Blackberry Smoke Comes To Nashville
Oct 1, 2017 Ascend Ampitheater, Blackberry Smoke, Gov't Mule
My dear friends I know that I am completely eclectic as far as my format of doing things, and as you may or may not know I was busy with my Muddy Roots coverage. I cover over 175 festivals a year and MANY genres of music so it's NO secret sometimes it take me months to write these articles up.
Mr.Paul Jackson, Mr.Brandon Still, Mr.Richard Turner, Mr.Charlie Starr, and Mr.Brit Turner make up this rags to riches story out of Georgia called Blackberry Smoke and I have indeed featured them many times here on this website. Now then I wasn't sure if I could legally post videos from the Ascend Ampitheater In Nashville as I was invited to this show as a guest…and on a whim.
I actually went to relax and enjoy myself as a fan this time but I did jot down some notes and some observations about the show, no matter where I am I always have that journalistic instinct. I honestly enjoy writing about the bands and the music,and the people that make it work.
Their album Follow Your Arrow made my TOP 50 OF 2016 and I have been a fan of their for many years despite their mainstream attention. I don't really mind their mainstream lean, even though many of my readers don't like them for that. I thought Whiporwill was a damn fine album and many of their albums stay in my constant rotation and my memory stick shuffles.
"Rock And Roll Again was first, this song is off the 2015 Holding All the roses album it's a great hard rock song as are many of their songs. Now some of them have a Country influence to them, they are more of like a Black Crowes Southern Rock outfit.
"Let It Burn" was next from the Follow Your Arrow album followed by a cover of "Come Together" and then "Ain't Got The Blues" from the Whiporwill album. I have seen them many times live, but to be honest I haven't heard the song "One Horse Town" live ever.
That's an older song, and I thought they did a really adequate job of playing material form every album they have, many times you hear a band play mostly new songs from whatever album they are promoting at the time of the show. This show here wasn't the case and I was delighted to see that.
"Payback's A Bitch" was next followed by the song "Whiporwill". This band doesn't have elaborate lyrics that make you sit and dwell on the meaning now DO NOT misquote me and ascertain that I don't like those songs, I DO. But when I want to drink beer and just JAM, Blackberry Smoke is one of go to bands for kick ass rock music.
They closed their set with "like An Arrow" and "Ain't Much Left Of Me" . Actually they were the opening act for the band Government Mule who is touring for their new album Revolution come…Revolution go, and that's out NOW. Mr. Warren, Mr. Matt Abts, Mr. Danny Louis and Mr. Jorgen Carlsson make up the band.
I didn't really write the songs down for them because I was just amazed by Mr. Warren's guitar licks and instrumentals. There really isn't a plethora of the original Allman Brothers Band left anymore and it's always cool to hear GOOD versions of Whipping Post and other classics from years ago.
Age and the road have not faltered Mr. Warren's guitar abilities or his vocals in any form, in fact I was impressed with his impeccable groundwork with his band. They seemed to read each other well, and were defiantly on the same page. Al l in All it was a great show at a truly FUN venue,and really the only one of it's kind now since Starwood was closed all those years ago.
It's not incredibly over expensive if you buy lawn seats for shows, I haven't really wrote a ton of articles from it because of the lack of ability to include videos. I truly enjoy giving YOU the reader the BEST input on the show as I can, I try to make you feel like you WERE THERE if you missed it. Maybe in the future I'll have that ability form this venue.

Don't burn out like Alexander the Great.
Looking back in history, it's easy to think of famous leaders as static figures, like statues in a museum.
However, they had strategies and goals we can still learn from. History.net helpfully ranks all of the greatest generals in history, including several notables from the ancient world. Business Insider took a look at some of these military strategists to get a sense of what leadership traits they displayed.
Leonidas I taught us to put our troops before ourselves.
Today, Leonidas I is probably best known as the protagonist of the film "300" — the guy who screams, "This is Sparta!"
The Spartan warrior king went down in history for leading the last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE, holding off the massive Persian force with a smaller group of soldiers. This maneuver allowed the rest of his Greek allies to escape.
As James R. Holmes wrote for Real Clear Defense, the sacrifice remains "a parable of valor in the face of insurmountable odds." As a leader, Leonidas understood the importance of putting the well-being of his troops before his own in order to ensure the freedom of Greece.
Themistocles taught us to make our own luck.
Themistocles, an Athenian politician and general, fought alongside Leonidas during the second Persian Invasion of Greece. In 480 BCE — the same year as the Battle of Thermopylae — he engineered the naval Battle of Salamis, which proved to be the turning point in the war.
As Business Insider previously reported, Themistocles and his forces were up against the Persian Empire at the peak of its power.
Despite those odds, the outnumbered Greeks were motivated as they fought to defend their homes. This especially showed at the Battle of Salamis, where Themistocles convinced his allies to engage with the Persian fleet and leveraged his knowledge of the winds to overcome the enemy.
Alexander the Great taught us the danger of burning out.
Alexander the Great is considered by many to be one of the most successful conquerors in history. He is largely responsible for the spread of Hellenistic culture around the Mediterranean and beyond.
However, his confidence in his own divinity ultimately prompted him to overstretch himself and his empire. After his tired army forced him to turn back in India, he had completely burned out. Even the most talented leaders can't overwork themselves — they know when to back off or take a break. Alexander's inability to do this largely caused his untimely death in 323 BCE at the age of 32.
Hannibal taught us to build a support system.
Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca brought the Roman Republic to his knees during the Second Punic War. In 218 BCE, he famously crossed the Alps with his soldiers and elephants, and proceeded to spend the next 15 years conquering Italy.
Today, he is widely considered one of the most brilliant military strategists of all time. His downfall was ultimately brought about by the very people he was fighting to defend.
As Joshua J. Mark writes in the Ancient History Encyclopedia, Hannibal constantly begged the rulers of Carthage to send him enough men and supplies to take Rome and end the long war. Carthage refused, sending "... only as much aid as would not inconvenience them."
Ultimately, Rome turned the tables on Hannibal, attacking Carthage and forcing him to return to Africa, where he was defeated in the Battle of Zama. This historical incident is excellent proof that talent and smarts are important, but you'll need the support of others to truly succeed.
Caesar taught us to take risks.
When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River with his army in 49 BCE, he was essentially declaring war on the Roman Republic.
In "The Life of the Deified Julius," Suetonius writes that Caesar quoted an Athenian playwright as he crossed the river, declaring "the die is cast."
He sparked a bloody civil war between his supporters and enemies, but ultimately prevailed and became dictator. Had he not taken that major risk, he might not have achieved such success (although he might have also escaped assassination). It just goes to show you — sometimes gambles pay off. The best leaders know when the risk is worth it.
His big risk paid off for him in the short term, and signaled the death knell of the Roman Republic.

CLiF Spotlight: What makes a great summer book?
Posted by CLiF Staff on May 14, 2014.
We're starting to think about summer. Specifically: favorite summer books.
What makes a book a great summer book?
Is it a picture book, like Blueberries for Sal, that captures the long, hot days of the season?
Is it a classic book you associate with read-alouds and campfires, like Treasure Island?
Is it the memory of the experience, like staying up late and waiting with other costumed fans at the bookstore to buy the next title in the Harry Potter series?
Or is it a chapter book you read at just the right time and that helped you grow up a little bit between school years? (While we all agreed on Charlotte's Web, when it came to middle grade and YA titles, we all had this experience with different books).
We're collecting favorite summer books for kids–however you define them–in this list.
Please tell us your favorite, or your child's favorite (or your together favorite!) summer book, and we'll add it to the list. Tell us in a comment below, or tell us on Facebook or Twitter. If you tell us why it's your favorite, we'll add that to the description.
When summer vacation starts, we'll really get things cooking! Stay tuned.
I like to spend some time of my summer catching up with new books within a series that I haven't been able to keep up with. So often I find series I like, but feel like I can't keep up with them during the school year like I want to. So, I stockpile them for the summer and do a marathon reading. I did this with the Hunger Games series and Divergent series recently for my upper grade students, and the Warrior series for my 4th-5th graders.
Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren…my grandmother read this to me over and over again and i never tired of it. or so i recall now when i read it to my boy and girls. hard not to like a kid who could care less about what the rest of humanity thinks about her. and one who always sees the fun side of life, regardless of the circumstances.
Where the Red Fern Grows – I don't think it actually takes place in the summer, but in my imagination I picture the last scene where the boy finds the red fern as being in the late summer.
My favorite summer reads with my son are ones that get his imagination going so he can recreate worlds all summer long. Some of our favorite reads together have been My Father's Dragon and most recently, The Black Stallion. Growing up, I loved The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and played Narnia all summer long, so that may have to be this year's summer read.
I love The Moon Jumpers by Janice May Udry. It's not all that well known, but it's a story about a gaggle of children playing tag barefoot in the lawn during that magical stretch of dusk late on summer evenings where the fireflies are out, but the parents have not yet called kids back home for the night. That stretch of time defines carefree freedom and joy for me…and the book transports me back my 10-year old self in the most wonderful way.
I have a great summer memory of a family vacation in Maine during which a new Harry Potter book came out. My mom, sister and I waited in a long line that led up a rickety set of stairs to a very old bookshop in Kennebunkport. We bought three copies and spent the rest of the vacation reading on the beach!
I remember one summer that I read as many Nancy Drew books as I could find. Summertime is the perfect time to go searching for clues to nature's mysteries!


LETS THINK ABOUT THIS , WHY DO ANY OTHER THING THEN JUST BLOCK AND TECH THROWS. ITS NOT HARD TO DO EITHER ONE, WHY SHOULD I TRY TO PARRY IF THE DAMN MOVE AINT EVEN AN UNBLOCKABLE ?? NOW IM A GOOD PLAYER AT THE GAME , WITH A REP 5 BERSERKER AND REP 9 LAWBRINGER/ PSN: its_the_MEL_man . BUT IVE GONE AGAINST SOME PPL HOW I JUST SIMPLE COULD NOT KILL BECAUSE ALL THEY DID THE WHOLE GAME WAS BLOCK AND TECH THROWS. MEANWHILE IM OVER HERE JUST WHALING ON HIM WITH ATTACKS FOR A WHOLE 2 MINUTES WHILE HE JUST SAT THERE AND DID COMPLETELY NOTHING BUT PLAY DEFENSE. NOW IF THERE WAS CHIP DAMAGE, WELL A NOTICEABLE CHIP DAMAGE, THEN THAT PERSON WOULD HAVE LOST. CHIP DAMAGE IS IN EVERY SUCCESSFUL FIGHTING GAME FOR THIS PARTICULAR REASON, SO THAT BOTH SIDES TAKE ACTION OR YOU WILL BE PUNISHED !!
Definitely agree. There is some chip in the 4v4 game modes I believe, and some chip occurs when around critical health, but other than that I see no noticeable chip. Turtling and defensive styles are the meta it seems, and classes like Warlord and Conq allow for such beneficial returns on defense. Some people just literally stare at you all match without making one move less they see an opportunity or maybe get some guardbreak. Other than that though, there is no punishment for being highly defensive. This removes the conversation in battle; offense and defense, attack and defend, hitting and blocking. With chip damage, people would be dissuaded from standing there tanking damage all match for fear of dying without putting up a decent fight!
i sure do notice berserker's chip dmg when he's geared with high block damage and i have next to zero block damage resistance. Top heavies will chunk even through a block.
idk about modes without gear though.
Allcaps. He must be right.
chip damage in a game with swords is dumb. no one gets hurt when they block a sword with another sword.
stamina cost for blocking yes but not chip damage.
All depends on the approach they want to take. Is this a fighting game at heart than chip damage. Is this a sword/shield simulator, stamina cost for blocking and movements in general.
Not to mention the single space wall of text. We need to listen up.

Treasures: Is this piece an example of 'Chinese Lowestoft'?
Helaine Fendelman and Joe Rosson
Dear Helaine and Joe:
I have a porcelain plate and have been unable to identify the markings on the back. I wonder if the piece is Japanese Imari or Chinese Lowestoft.
L.D., Chicago
Dear L.D.:
What a proverbial blast from the past. We have not heard the term "Chinese Lowestoft" in years -- literally -- and thought it might be fun to explore this subject. It comes under the heading of "Oops! How did they get that so wrong?"
We should start by saying that the town of Lowestoft is located in Suffolk on the east coast of England. In the mid-18th century, it was a small fishing village, but in 1756, clay deposits were discovered on an estate just north of town by Hewlin Luson.
These deposits were determined to be suitable for the making of pottery, but Luson was not able to get production under way. The next year, 1757, a different partnership (not including Luson) was formed that managed to make a type of artificial porcelain called "soft paste."
True Chinese-style "hard paste" porcelain is made from a mixture of "china clay" (kaolin) and "china stone" (petuntse). But the secret of this mixture was known only to the Chinese and the Germans at this time so the English (and the French, and the Italians) had to cheat and make their porcelain either by adding soapstone, glass or bone ash (thus the term "bone china") to white clay.
It has been reported that Lowestoft's formula included about 20 percent bone ash (we have also seen higher estimates), and most of their wares were naively painted in blue in imitation of the Chinese manner. The factory closed in 1802 (one source says it was 1799), but Lowestoft did not disappear into obscurity -- as it might have.
In his 1863 book "Marks and Monograms on European and Oriental Pottery and Porcelain," author William Chaffers made a colossal boo-boo when he identified Chinese Export wares as having been made at the Lowestoft factory. As a result, for the next hundred years or so, the name "Lowestoft" was erroneously connected to Chinese Export porcelain as "Oriental Lowestoft" or "Chinese Lowestoft." Now, this mistake has largely faded from memory -- but every now and then the term will turn up.
Luckily, the piece in today's question is easily identified and it is not any kind of "Lowestoft." Instead, it is a very nice example of Japanese Imari from the late 19th or early 20th century. In the photographs it looks like it might be a "charger" or large plate used for display in a variety of locations (including Japanese shop windows).
The design looks a bit like a "sansai" or "Old Japan"-style piece, but probably it is not because it has too many colors (sansai is only red and blue with gilt highlights). This piece is probably "nishikide" or "brocade" Imari, which can have a variety of colors, including blue, brick red, black, green, lemon yellow and purple -- and this color palette seems to be found on this dish.
"Imari" refers to Japanese wares exported to the West from the port of Imari, but most of this ware was made in and around the town of Arita. It is a shame that we cannot appraise this piece, because we do not know the size -- but a small example should be valued for less than $125 while a larger one might be insured for closer to $1,000 or a little more.
Oh, the squiggles on the back that L.D. thought might be marks are not. They are just more decoration, and the piece is completely unmarked as most Imari examples are.

Q: Spark: Send debug text to driver from worker I would like to diagnose some error. I believe I should not tell the whole scenario to get a good solution for my question. So, I would like to create some debug information on the workers and display it on the driver, possibly real-time.
I read somewhere that issuing a System.out.println("DEBUG: ...") on a worker would produce a line in the executor log, but currently I'm having trouble retrieving those logs. Aside from that it would be still useful if I could see some debug noise on the driver as the calculation runs.
(I also figured out a workaround, but I don't know if I should apply it or not. At the end of each worker task I could append elements to a sequence file and I could monitor that, or check it at the end.)

A: One way I could think of doing this is (ab)using a custom acummulator to send messages from the workers to the driver. This will get whatever String message from the workers to the driver. On the driver you'd print the contents to collect the info. It's not real-time as wished-for as it depends of the program execution.
import org.apache.spark.AccumulatorParam

object LineCummulatorParam extends AccumulatorParam[String] {
      def zero(value:String) : String = value
      def addInPlace(s1:String, s2:String):String = s1 + "\n" + s2
}

val debugInfo = sparkContext.accumulator("","debug info")(DebugInfoCummulatorParam)

rdd.map{rdd => ...
        ...
        ...
        //this happens on each worker
        debugInfo += "something happened here"
        }

//this happens on the driver
println(debugInfo)

Not sure why you cannot access the worker logs - that would be the most straightforward solution BTW.

Why would the drive of the infamous Dodge Challenger, supposedly enraged and trying to hit and kill antifa, step on the brakes? Or was this a botched CGI?
Devastating indictment of the Alt-Right leader Chris Cantwell as an "operative" and of the Charlottesville "car incident" as an "op" …. sent me by a former Marine officer:
.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ePsK0dpyu4g
This researcher, named onYouTube as "SonofNewo," does a superb job.
I now have no doubt that the car incident was carried out by the Deep State (like the USS Maine, the JFK assassination, the USS Liberty, Oklahoma City, 9/11, Sandy Hook, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the Charleston "church shooting").
Among many anomalies:
Four journalists, including the very important "Ford Fischer" (who has followed and interviewed Alt-Right leaders and followers for months) STOP following the WNs, stop covering the antifa also, and WAIT for three minutes close to the car incident site. (Obviously, they were TOLD to wait there because "something is gong to happen here. Have your cameras ready.")
Three cars were involved in the pile-up: 1) the sinister Dodge Challenger, 2) a silver Toyota convertible sandwiched in the middle, and 3) a maroon van.
The maroon van pulls up onto the crosswalk,and sits there for five minutes, on the crosswalk, in the middle of the street, with no congestion! And THE DRIVER AND FRONT-RIGHT-SEAT-PASSENGER ARE GONE!
The supposed killer car, the Dodge Challenger, hangs back, just up the hill, for a minute-fifteen before zooming down and "into the people!"
Again, why did this worm "Ford Fischer" stop his filming — a live feed of a very violent day's events — of the WNs, the group that was his "beat"? He suddenly lets a horde of WNs just pass right by him! Why is he glued to his spot now? Why did a man doing a livestream not at least go cover the nearby antifa rally either (being held with NO permit, btw)… And why did he and three other "journalists" — all "chill" for 180 seconds under the awning of a bank while stuff was happening?
The footage of "Chris Cantwell" is also priceless…. deliberately acting like an unsimpatico jerk, and crying on camera how peaceful he as one second, then boasting and showing off all his guns and knives the next! Why was he made a key person at this rally? To discredit it?
Why is the media giving unlimited coverage to the Bond Villain-like Richard Spencer?
Lyrics to "Goldfinger":
.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnseiOJ2jGQ
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
Spencer's role is to look sinister! The icy, evil Nazi………………

…..Gayish hand gestures, snitty, offended-hairdress voice
Spencer says many true things to black conservative Republican and ex-NBA star Charles Barkley, but it is how he says it that ensures he will never have any mass following. I finished watching the Richard Spencer-Charles Barkley (retired NBA star) video… Thpenther lost no opportunity to be arrogant, smirk, acting semi-gay, and smile condescendingly — at a Barkley who is a former top, top NBA player (which takes incredible practice, talent, diligence and persistence), a genuine black conservative and Republican of long standing who has blasted Obama and supported Trump. The white public LIKES Barkley, and for good reason. The preppy Hollywood Nazi avoided even the slightest outreach to Barkley or his white admirers, and succeeded in looking unreasonable to any curious outsider who was sizing Spencer up. Assignment: "Look like an arrogant Nazi prick." Grade from George Soros: "A+"
.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfQKWXMZtnU#
And, like Jared Taylor (and David Duke, and Winston Churchill, and yes, myself, though a renegade for sure to my class, like also Byron de la Beckwith, RIP) Spencer is a N-o-r-m-a-n, and what were they as a group if not psychopaths of nordic blood who made a devil's pact with the J-Team! No one ever said with regard to the old Anglo-Saxons or the Kelts of pre-Conquest, pre-1066 Britain "perfidious Albion"! That monicker came about and has also stuck due to the NORMANS.
You might review my essay on the Normans. It was actually Nick Griffin who first got me on this theme, when I once said in an email to him that my ancestors were Normans, and he replied: "I guess we can forgive you that." 😉 Well, that remark intrigued me, and I recalled reading a book by the Russian author Maxim Gorki where he says that the Normans utterly transformed the character of England.
The Norman Conquest gives the English to the Talmud
I am profoundly convinced that the most dangerous and most underestimated weapon the jews have is their trauma-based mind-controlled agents. I am convinced Spencer is one, and Duke (so they both are likely sincere white nationalists, and not even aware they are mind-control subjects), and without any question myself as well…. but I revolted at age ten, ran away from home and from then on I have memories, and almost nothing before.
https://johndenugent.com/?s=mk-ultra
f you really go down the rabbit hole, this is about giving us "Judas Goat" leaders who do not even realize they are mind-controlled, and they lead us into disaster. Charlottesville has now led to MORE statue desecrations and attacks on all white male heroes, even Christopher Columbus and Thomas Jefferson, who were hardly Confederate generals! 😉
…..Alt-Right's Richard Spencer handled by Deep-State family
Three Americans were in Budapest, Hungary organizing an international conference for the white nationalist think tank, the National Policy Institute: the contentious white supremacist and progenitor of the term "alt-right", Richard Spencer, the refined, cosmopolitan, Ivy League-educated editor of the white nationalist publication American Renaissance, Jared Taylor and enigmatic publishing heir, William Regnery II.
Spencer, Taylor (and Peter Brimelow)
Taylor, a Yale graduate (as in the Skull & Bones university) has fathered several children out of wedlock with a militant leftist Jewess named Evelyn Rich, who was the key figure in a 1992 "Frontline" documentary BLASTING white nationalists: .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dk5rqGYVRk (Rich comes on around 0:31:00)
https://johndenugent.com/?s=evelyn+rich
Hungarian authorities believed the meeting to have been orchestrated by the CIA in an attempt to embarrass Hungary's newly-elected right-wing government of Viktor Orban and the three Americans were swiftly intercepted and spirited out of the country.
"The government thought that it was a CIA plot," a source with inside knowledge of Hungarian counterintelligence said in an interview. "They are completely paranoid, and when this conference was announced, they were convinced that this was an American action," the source said. "They guessed that US intelligence services set up this conference so they can say Hungary is a home for right-wing extremist activists and then blackmail them in the international media."[1]
Everyone else scoffed at the idea that these three American stooges were part of a CIA plot. The idea that any of these clueless oafs is even remotely connected to the CIA is absurd… right?
The Regnery Connection
The National Policy Institute was founded as a "racial realist" and "white nationalist" think tank and lobbying effort in 2005 by William Regnery II, who has used his family money to fund the rapid growth of numerous hard-right white nationalist and "anti-Semitic" groups such as the Charles Martel Society, another think tank founded by Regnery II in 2001 which publishes The Occidental Quarterly and runs the Occidental Observer website, with which Dr. Kevin Macdonald is closely associated.
Lawyer Sam Dickson (left, in red tie) gazes at MacDonald (in a blue pinstripe shirt and black tie)
Immediately after founding the Martel Society, Regnery II came out swinging, advocating for a radical reconfiguring of the United States and its internal borders based on racial, religious and cultural lines.[2]
At some point, Regnery discovered the heedless agitator Richard Spencer, with whom he fostered an intimate relationship and in 2011 installed as the frontman and nominal head of the NPI, which established the NPI as the chief staging ground for the blossoming, rabidly pro-Trump "alternative right" movement.
It is characterized by an authoritarian, European-style, right-wing populist ideology (in contrast to the North America-exclusive libertarian ideology of, say, Ron Paul).
While Spencer is technically the chairman of the NPI, it is still run behind the scenes by Regnery. Richard Spencer referred to him as the chairman of the organization as recently as 2014, five years after Regnery supposedly stepped down from the position.
Despite this, Regnery (who is known for his extreme secretiveness and reclusiveness) is conspicuously lacking in any kind of publicity – his name is scarcely mentioned at all on the NPI's website and at NPI conferences, he goes almost entirely unmentioned and very rarely speaks.
When he does speak, he is almost never recorded. It appears as though this reticent character handles the colorful front man Spencer, who speaks to and consults with Regnery almost daily.
According to Spencer himself, Regnery has played a "vitally important and indispensable" role in bolstering the alt-right movement and that he "wouldn't do a big thing without consulting him."[3] [4]
So just exactly who is this mysterious alt-right power broker, William Regnery II? A deep dive into his family's background perhaps validates the Hungarian government's understanding of Spencer and Regnery's Central European misadventure as a potential CIA ploy.
Regnery's family has been deeply connected to the right-wing power structure and intelligence community since the early 20th century. Regnery II's grandfather and originator of the family's wealth and political influence was William Henry Regnery, a wealthy Chicago textile manufacturer. William Henry was a founding member of the American Security Council, which throughout the postwar era has sat at the center of the right-wing defense establishment and seeks to influence American foreign policy through the doctrine of "peace through strength."
Nina Byzantina, Richard Spencer and….. Laura Bush?? Who in the blue hell is Regnery II going around introducing Richard Spencer to?
Historical membership of the ASC reads like a who's who of the intelligence and national security establishments –
–CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton;
–founding CIA member and Iran-Contra orchestrator John Singlaub,
–neoconservative Reagan-era diplomat Jeane Kirkpatrick;
–former Deputy National Security Advisor and Nixon Secretary of State Alexander Haig;
–inventor of the hydrogen bomb and SDI [Star Wars] architect Edward Teller;
–DoD scientist and presidential advisor John S. Foster, Jr.;
–lead Manhattan Project physicist Eugene Wigner, father of the neutron bomb;
–RAND Corporation think tanker Samuel T. Cohen:
….and dozens of others highly connected to the military, CIA, FBI, corporate America, etc. The ASC's spin-off think tank, the "Center for Security Policy," is similarly connected, featuring former CIA director and supreme neoconservative-Zionist James Woolsey; Dick Cheney [photo, right]; neoconservative former chairman of the Defense Policy Board Richard Perle; former director of the CIA and Secretary of State James Schlesinger; and Paul Wolfowitz as members.
Throughout its reign as the cream of defense establishment think tanks, the ASC and its members covertly backed Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, coordinated anti-Communist witch hunts with the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover and Allen Dulles, lobbied for anti-détente foreign policies throughout the '60s and '70s, almost single-handedly crafted Reagan's foreign policy, was highly involved in Iran-Contra and CIA drug running out of Southeast Asia and factored strongly in the design of the Strategic Defense Initiative.[5] [6]
In 1978 the ASCF created the "National Strategy for Peace through Strength," and has been cited numerous times with providing the overall foreign affairs theme for the administration of former President Ronald Reagan. President Reagan personally gave the ASCF credit for this on several occasions and said America won the Cold War based upon the ASCF's "National Strategy for Peace through Strength" doctrine.[7]
After William Henry Regnery died, his son Henry Regnery (Regnery II's uncle), replaced him at the American Security Council and in powerful conservative political circles, but Henry's knack was for propaganda, not defense policy. Henry's publishing company, Regnery Publishing, which for many decades was the most prominent conservative publishing house in the US, was funded by the CIA according to intelligence officer and Watergate mastermind E. Howard Hunt.[8]
It was the first major publishing outfit to release writings of the John Birch Society and later went on to publish preeminent conservative figures William Buckley, Russell Kirk, Whittaker Chambers, Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump, Oliver North, Dinesh D'Souza and William Casey among others.
Henry Regnery's son, Al Regnery (Regnery II's cousin), became president of Regnery Publishing in the '80s after a stint in the Reagan Justice Department and in 2003 became editor-in-chief of the elite conservative American Spectator magazine, a position he held until 2012.
Al is additionally the chairman of the William F. Buckley-founded Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a Young Republicans-esque college recruitment organization of which Regnery II was a member in his college years.
Through the ISI, both Regnerys became good friends with Reagan attorney general and advisor Edwin Meese, who was involved in the SDI, Iran-Contra and the bizarre Inslaw/PROMIS scandal.[4] More recently, Meese founded the Reagan Alumni Advisory Council for Trump-Pence, which is composed of over 200 Reagan administration alumni. Among its ranks are pro-Trump CNN pundit Jeffrey Lord, "mega-lobbyist" Haley Barbour, elite GOP political consultant Ed Rollins, radical Christian Israel-booster Gary Bauer, and former Bush drug czar William Bennett. Meese's Advisory Council promotes massive tax cuts and a rebirth of the Reagan administration's "peace through strength" foreign policy.[9]
Who Regnery II's parents were is unclear, but what is sure is that one of his parents was one of Regnery I's five children other than Henry and that Regnery II was close to his Deep-State family, judging by the fact that he was chosen to succeed his grandfather in running the family textile empire before it went under in the '80s.
So, to summarize, Richard Spencer's closest advisor's grandfather and uncle were both central members of one of the most entrenched postwar Deep-State think tanks, with CIA funding they ran the paramount conservative publishing house for decades, they helped thrust neo-con Ronald Reagan into the White House, and later they were part of the guild which crafted his foreign policy.
Regnery II, through Richard Spencer in a 21st century digital fashion, aided deep state auxiliary Donald Trump in seizing the Oval Office and has seeded and funded a network of organizations propagating a trendy, new, populist, right-wing ideology as his ancestor's tired Reaganesque policies and rhetorics grow tired and old.

Our curriculum covers the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum. It is a bespoke curriculum written by the team at Lytham Hall Park for the pupils of Lytham Hall Park. It has been created to meet the needs and interests of our pupils. It is a bespoke approach designed not only to engage and enthuse our pupils but also to help them make connections between subjects and to develop the skills they need to ensure they become independent and confident life long learners.
Long Term Overviews by Year Groups.
We use a variety of different books in school to help us teach reading and foster a love of literature. These include two schemes, Oxford Reading Tree and Bug Club alongside 'Real Books' as they progress on to Accelerated Reader in Year 2.
We follow national guidance and start our children reading phonic books until they are secure at phonic phase five.
In phonics we teach our children using systematic synthetic phonics and we follow Letters and Sounds.
In 2015 we introduced Accelerated Reader. This runs from Year 2 up to Year 6.
From the Accelerated Reader website you can also download the Accelerated Reader App and the Book Finder. You can use these with the Login and Password you will find in your child's Reading Planner.
Reading is one of the most important skills your child will ever learn. If your child reads well and loves to read, they will excel in school and be enabled to achieve and grow in all aspects of their learning. It is with this in mind that we introduced Accelerated Reader to Years 2 to 6 at Lytham Hall Park.
The most important goal regarding Accelerated Reading (AR) is to encourage a love for reading by developing confidence through practice. Research demonstrates that reading practice is the most important factor in a child's literacy development. Reading practice allows children to perfect the reading skills they learn so that they can move beyond the struggle of decoding text and begin reading for learning and pleasure.
Accelerated Reading is an individualised reading program for children. It allows teachers to set goals, track growth and monitor comprehension. The program also provides a bank of over 110, 000 book quizzes that children can complete after reading a book from our reading scheme or 'real' books that are now a choice for children to read at home. The book levels (ZPD) range from 0.2 to 13.5 and we have a wide and ever increasing variety of books for children to select.
This Accelerated Reader replaced the book banding system, linked to colours, as the books are organised differently. Your child completes a reading test which generates a ZPD score, with this they have been given their ZPD range in the form of a grid which is stuck at the front of your child's planner. Your child can choose any book in their ZPD range (please note these will not correlate to any former book band at our school or your child's previous school and your child may bring home books from a wide variety of colour bands). When they have finished reading their book, they log on to Accelerated Reader at school, using their personal log in and take an online quiz.
Accelerated reader has many benefits. It assesses your child's comprehension and understanding of the book they have read. It also identifies the new vocabulary and skills your child has developed through reading. Then, through the fun online quizzes, your child can apply the skills that have learnt. Additionally, Accelerated Reader assesses your child's reading level and suggests books which are also age and interest appropriate. Not only does it recommend books that are at the correct reading ability for your child it also uses the child's own interests and reading preferences.
We encourage children to choose books within their reading level that are of interest to them. The love of reading will develop when children are not frustrated by the text in the books they select. Accelerated Reading is a wonderful tool for allowing this love of reading to happen.
3) to instill in children a lifelong love of reading.
We have introduced many exciting events and rewards linked to reading and Accelerated Reader. The 100% board, the Millionaire Club and lots of visiting authors to tell you just a few of the reading incentives in school.
You can monitor your child's progress with the programme by logging on to Renaissance Home Connect with your child's log in which we send home to you each year. This log on allows you to see how often your child has completed quizzes, what books they have read and quizzed on, their scores and gives you suggestions on how you can support your child at home. Additionally you can use the book finder tool to search for books that are appropriate for your child. If you have any questions please just ask your child's class teacher who will be happy to tell you more.

Alberto Ascari
Alberto Ascari was the son of a famous father. Antonio Ascari was the star of the Alfa Romeo team in the 1920s but died in a racing accident at Montlhery in 1925. Alberto was seven and did not look like a racing driver. He was chubby with a jovial air but he had a great desire to emulate his father.
He began racing motorcycles and then at 22 switched to cars, competing for the first time on the Mille Miglia in 1940. His career was immediately interrupted by the war and so it was not until he was nearly 30 that his career really took off. Tutored by Gigi Villoresi he began winning in 1948 and joined Alfa Romeo, his father's old team. In 1949 he went to Maserati but soon switched with Villoresi to join Ferrari.
After two years of Alfa Romeo domination, the formula was changed and the Ferrari F500 became the force to be reckoned with. In 1952 and 1953 Ascari was the man, winning every Grand Prix in which is he competed in 1952 and half of those in 1953. His record of nine consecutive wins remains unbeaten.
After winning two consecutive World Championships Ascari found life more difficult. He had switched to the Lancia team and his only victory was the Mille Miglia as the team was not ready with its planned F1 challenger. Ascari had to make do with a number of unsuccessful outings with a Maserati. The Lancia D50 appeared at the end of the year and Ascari immediately put it on pole position in Spain, leading the race until the car retired.
The Lancia would be a challenger in 1955. Ascari's great rival, Juan-Manuel Fangio, won the first three races that year in his Mercedes-Benz and then at Monaco Ascari got it wrong and crashed into the harbour, emerging unhurt from the experience.
A week later while testing a Ferrari sports car at Monza he crashed at the corner which now bears his name and was killed. The accident had no eyewitnesses and has never been fully explained.

Ultimate White Mountain Adventure Race at Attitash
Jul 05 2005 - 09:52 PM
BARTLETT, New Hampshire ??" The White Mountains of New Hampshire have been a longtime draw for outdoor enthusiasts looking to hike, bike, kayak, and rock climb. Over the weekend of July 23 and 24 the Ultimate White Mountain Adventure Race, an endurance-testing team combination of these pursuits, will take place in and around Attitash Resort in Bartlett, N.H.
"It's a true test of will, athleticism and teamwork," said Race Director Marty Rosenthal. "Last year's White Mountain race at Attitash started at midnight, which really called upon the competitors land navigation skills. Competitors should expect the unexpected again this year."
The Ultimate White Mountain Adventure Race is the second leg in a three part series. The first race is the Ultimate Adirondack held in New York and the third is the Ultimate Green Mountain in the Killington region of Vermont. Teams that compete in all three races will be vying for the grand prize of airfare and paid entry in the Coast-to-Coast Adventure Race in Costa Rica. The Costa Rica race is a five-day, 400-kilometer course of biking, hiking and paddling.
The White Mountain leg of the series will include such elements as road running, trail running, mountain biking, road biking, paddling, fixed ropes and land navigation. The race duration is approximately 12 hours. There is both a Championship and Open Division allowing first time racers and seasoned veterans to compete alongside each other.
Net proceeds for the series will benefit the Ultimate Sports Association, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing support to young athletes and volunteer coaches.
The Eastern Mountain Sports Climbing School in North Conway, N.H. will be supporting the event by monitoring the ropes section of the course to ensure safety and use of the correct equipment.
Registration for the event is ongoing and competitors may register as a team or individually. Registration and information on the Ultimate Adventure Race Series is available at www.ultimate-race.com.

Snoqualmie Valley School-Age (Ages 5-12) Child Care Options
The Snoqualmie Valley School District is working closely with community partners to help identify options for our families seeking child care support during these challenging times. For reference, below are some child care providers in the Snoqualmie Valley and other regional services.
If you are a licensed child care facility and would like to be added to this list, please send an email with your information and request to: SVSDinfo@svsd410.org.
Given the challenges of 100% Distance Learning for some families who cannot work from home, the District is collaborating with two local organizations, Si View Community Center and Snoqualmie YMCA, with whom we partnered last spring, to explore how we could further support families' needs. Through these partnerships, the organizations will manage the day-to-day child care programming, registration, payments and staffing, while the District contributes select school locations and custodial support. District locations selected offer areas where a child care program could be contained, and kept separate from common areas such as the office and classrooms where staff are facilitating remote instruction. This will allow for daily cleaning/disinfecting purposes, while still supporting social distancing requirements and guidelines for child care operations. (NOTE: These arrangements are offered during this time of Distance Learning 2.0, when all students are learning remotely. When our schools reopen for in-person or hybrid instruction, these locations will be needed for school.)
The District is also exploring support options to assist families, for whom child care costs are a financial hardship. Be sure to ask these organizations about their scholarship programs and whether your family qualifies.
See below for how to register directly through Si View and the Y.
Si View Community Center - School Care Program
Si View offers flexible options for families with children in grades K-5, during SVSD Distance Learning. Program sites include Si View Community Center, the former Two Rivers School campus in North Bend, and North Bend Elementary School. The Si View Community Center site program opens Monday, August 31, with school sites opening tentatively mid-September or as soon as there is a need for additional program sites.
The Si View School Care program offers two options: a full day program (6:30am-6:30pm) and a half day program (8:30am-3pm). Registration is on a daily basis; families can choose a single day or all school days. (A 20% discount is available for students who register for all school days.) Financial need-based scholarships are also available. Please call (425) 831-1900 for more information about scholarships.
Si View School Care Program operates in accordance with the latest COVID-19 guidelines keeping participants in small groups throughout the day. The before and after school hours provide opportunities for active play and social interactions in a safe setting, and staff will guide participants with remote learning schedules during the school day. Please note that staff is not trained to offer individual tutoring services. For more information about program specifics, please contact Aimee Wilson at awilson@siviewpark.org.
For more information, registration and updates, please visit their website at: https://www.siviewpark.org/before-after-school.phtml.
Snoqualmie YMCA - Y LEAP Academy
The YMCA is pleased to introduce Y LEAP (Learning, Enrichment And Play) Academy, a full-day program designed in partnership with individual school districts to support kids and families with distance learning and school-day care along with the enrichment activities, social emotional learning, and play that the Y is known for. Y LEAP Academy is available to students in grades K-5 with sites at Snoqualmie Elementary School and Timber Ridge Elementary School. Online registration is now open. For more information about the program, registration and scholarship support, please visit www.seattleymca.org/leap.
The Y is committed to working with families to ensure access to a safe and supportive environment for each child during the 100% virtual start to the school year. The program accepts Working Connection Child Care subsidy, offers Y scholarships, and will work with individuals to understand unique requests and create a price that works for their budget. Find more information on how to start that conversation can be found HERE. For individual questions please email registration@seattleymca.org or call (206) 382-4927.
Y programs will follow all Centers for Disease Control and Washington State Department of Health guidance and requirements for offering child care.
Other Child Care Resources
King County-Funded Free Child Care for Essential Workers
King County has committed $2.2 million towards free child care for essential workers at select child care providers, facilitated by Child Care Aware of Washington Family Center. This program serves as an additional resource for families looking for child care outside the Snoqualmie Valley. Contact Child Care Aware of Washington at 1-800-446-1114 for information.
Child Care Aware of Washington Family Center
