Q: Why is the risk equal to the empirical risk when taking the expectation over the samples? From Understanding Machine Learning: From theory to algorithms:

Let $S$ be a set of $m$ samples from a set $Z$ and $w^*$ be an arbitrary vector.  Then $\Bbb E_{S \text{ ~ } D^m}[L_S(w^*)] = L_D(w^*)$.
Where: $L_S(w^*) \equiv \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^ml(w^*, z_i)$ and $z_i \in S$, $L_D(w^*) \equiv \Bbb E_{z \text{ ~ }D}[l(w^*, z)]$, $D$ is a distribution on $Z$, and $l(\text{_},\text{_} )$ is a loss function.

I see that $$\Bbb E_S[L_S(w^*)] = \Bbb E_S[\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^ml(w^*, z_i)] = \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m \Bbb E_S[l(w^*, z_i)]$$ and
$$L_D(w^*) = \Bbb E_z[l(w^*, z)] = \sum_{z \in Z} l(w^*, z)D(z)$$
But how are these two equal?  $\Bbb E_S$ is an expectation  over samples $S$ of size $m$ whereas $\Bbb E_z$ is an expectation over all samples in $Z$.

A: The result is true if the sample $S$ of size $m$ is iid. In this case $S=(z_1,\dots,z_m)$ has indeed distribution $D^m$, because $D_S(z_1,\dots,z_m)=\prod_{i=1}^m D(z_i)$. Thus:
$$\mathbb E_{S \text{ ~ } D^m}[L_S(w^*)] = \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m \mathbb E_{S \text{ ~ } D^m}[l(w^*, z_i)]$$
Consider now $i=1$: $\mathbb E_{S \text{ ~ } D^m}[l(w^*, z_1)]=\int l(w^*, z_1)D(z_1,\dots,z_m)dz_1\dots dz_m$ according to LOTUS. But, because of the iid hypothesis, this is actually equal to
$$\int l(w^*, z_1)D(z_1,\dots,z_m)dz_1\dots dz_m=\int l(w^*, z_1)\prod_{i=1}^m D(z_i)dz_1\dots dz_m=\prod_{i=2}^m\int D(z_i)dz_i \int l(w^*, z_1)D(z_1)dz_1 = \mathbb E_{z \text{ ~ }D}[l(w^*, z)]=L_D(w^*)$$
Of course, you can apply exactly the same argument for any $i=2,\dots,m$. This implies that
$$\mathbb E_{S \text{ ~ } D^m}[L_S(w^*)] = \frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^m \mathbb E_{S \text{ ~ } D^m}[l(w^*, z_i)]=\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^mL_D(w^*)=L_D(w^*)$$
A word of caution: you better be a bit flexible when it comes to notation, in reading Shai Ben-David and Shai Shalev-Shwartz. They can be a bit of a sticklers for notation: if you insist on following their pedantic notation too strictly, studying their book will take (even) more time than it should take. And you still need to read Mohri et al. book afterwards, so....

A: If we assume that the points in $S$ are i.i.d., then this is a direct consequence of the fact that the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean: For $X_1, \dots, X_m$ i.i.d. with $\mathbb{E}(X_i) = \mu$,
$$
\mathbb{E}\left( \bar{X}_m \right) = \mu.
$$
To obtain the result in your question, simply identify $L_S(w^*)$ with $\bar{X}_m$ and $L_D(w^*)$ with $\mu$.
This is a common issue for people getting started in machine learning — the heavy notation makes simple facts difficult to recognize. I sometimes find it useful to make a mental translation like the one above, where I discard all the subscripts and notational excesses that aren't immediately relevant to the claim in question.

TOKYO (AP) Japanese organizers have launched the design competition for a new logo for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to replace the emblem that was dropped amid plagiarism allegations.
The organizing committee says the competition is ''open to everyone regardless of previous experience or formal qualifications,'' including individuals or groups.
Applications can be submitted online from Nov. 24 to Dec. 7. The winning entry will be announced next spring and sent to the Tokyo 2020 executive board for final approval.
The initial emblem came under intense scrutiny because of its similarity to the logo of a theater in Belgium. The Japanese emblem's designer, Kenjiro Sano, stood by his work but it was eventually withdrawn.


Research and extension, are two of the triple, major functions of UPLB. The University sees to it that its knowledge for teaching and for development are supported by local and/or national research findings from the experience of the institution through research and extension and immersion into the problems of the communities.
The stimulating effect of research provides the backstop and support to the instruction and extension functions. As a center of excellence in higher learning, UPLB's contribution to the pursuit of relevant knowledge is critical. Since 1909, until the university became autonomous in 1972, readjustments were made in its research thrusts without sacrificing its orientation for instruction. Its unique mission towards agricultural and rural development in the 70s heightened to include more specifically the development of the rural poor in the 80s.
Since then, criteria have been set forth in establishing research and extension priorities in the development, processing, and funding of research and extension proposals. All throughout agenda-settings over the years, UPLB has consulted with its various units to identify research and extension thrusts.
As a result of UPLB's continous strategic planning which commenced in 2008, a program framework was crafted after series of workshops aimed to align the university's research, development and extension programs to identified growth areas. As an output of the 2009 UPLB Planning Workshop, following growth areas in UPLB's future were enumerated, and have been adopted by the past administration of Chancellor Rex Victor O. Cruz.
meeting the growing needs for quality education in the arts and sciences, humanities and engineering.
The university's mandate was broadened to include far-reaching policy and institutional reforms to address the problems of industry and agriculture; national development framework premised on accelerated economic growth; the Arroyo administration's social contract with the poor; the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) premised on dynamic, smallholder agriculture; a need to revitalize education; call for more investments in productivity-enhancing research and development; and the pressing need to enhance institutional capability at all levels.

Q: Move commit to different branch in Visual Studio? Occasionally I commit work only to later realize that it would have been better off in it's own branch.
Hindsight is 20/20 and if I was thinking ahead I would have made a new branch and then committed onto that sparing me this problem in the first place.
Is it possible to move an existing commit onto a new Branch? If so, how is it done? and can it be achieved through Visual Studio?

A: It can be done in Visual Studio. Here are the steps:

*

*First make sure you don't have any pending changes. (Stash, commit, or undo them.)

*Right click on your checked out branch and choose "New Local Branch From..."

*Enter in the name of your new branch, but uncheck "Checkout branch".

*Now "View History" on your current branch.

*In the history view, right click on the commit you want to reset to. This would be the commit just before your first commit that you intended to add to the new branch. Select "Reset --> Delete Changes (--hard)".

*Now checkout your new branch.

You now will be in the exact same situation as if you created the new branch in the first place.
Side note: I do recommend learning how to do this from the command line rather than using the GUI. Once you know it, it's faster, easier, doesn't tie you to any particular UI, and enables you to script your favorite workflows more easily. As an example, here's the same workflow from the command line:

*

*First make sure you don't have any pending changes. (Stash, commit, or undo them.)

*git branch new-branch-name # create new branch like what's checked out now

*git reset --hard HEAD~1 # go back one commit (change 1 to however many you need)

*git checkout new-branch-name

A New Virtual Tour Takes Us Inside Architect Edgar Miller's Masterwork
Seen by few until now, Glasner Studio in Chicago's Old Town is a rich mix of stained glass windows, wood carvings, tilework and bas-reliefs
By Liz Logan
smithsonianmag.com
While many people have walked by the red door on Chicago's Wells Street, very few—likely less than one or two thousand—have ever gotten a chance to see what's behind it. (Edgar Miller Legacy)
SMITHSONIANMAG.COM | Dec. 10, 2020, 8 a.m.
On the 1700 block of Wells Street in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, a curious red door is hard to miss. It looks like something that belongs in a medieval castle. Every inch of it is ornately carved. The brick façade around the door is studded with tiles laid in an idiosyncratic array of geometric patterns. The modes are different, but they don't clash.
This mélange of styles typifies the work of Edgar Miller, a 20th-century artist and architect who has been largely overlooked by history. While many people have walked by the door and the façade, very few—likely less than one or two thousand—have ever gotten a chance to see what's behind it: Glasner Studio, a private apartment completed in 1932 that's considered Miller's masterwork. A new virtual tour by the young nonprofit Edgar Miller Legacy, which does not own but has exclusive access to the space, allows anyone to step inside, and learn more about its enigmatic creator.
"Miller's little-known today because he was ahead of his time," says Marin Sullivan, an independent curator who was involved in the creation of the virtual tour. "He worked much like contemporary artists do today, crossing disciplines, audiences and pursuits. He was a fine artist as well as an architect and a graphic designer. But, because he didn't fit into just one category, he got dropped out of history."

Born in 1899, Miller had a bucolic upbringing, mostly in Idaho, where he developed a fascination with the natural world. From an early age, he had a talent for drawing, which led him to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. But traditional art training bored him. The school was focused on technique, while Miller yearned to engage with big ideas about the meaning of art, according to the 2009 book Edgar Miller and The Handmade Home, the only comprehensive volume on Miller's work. He dropped out after a couple of years and, in 1919, became an apprentice to Alfonso Iannelli, who was well known as a sculptor, commercial designer and metalworker. Iannelli had created concrete sculptures for the Midway Gardens, a three-acre music pavilion on Chicago's South Side that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Miller spent five years at Iannelli's studio, where he became skilled in sculpture, stone cutting, mural painting, casting and woodcarving. In 1923, an advertisement titled "The Parade of Chicago Artists" described Miller: "the blond boy Michelangelo sculpts, paints, batiks, decorates china, makes drawing, woodcuts, etching, lithographs."
Through Iannelli, Miller developed relationships with key players in the Chicago art and architecture scene, such as Holabird & Root, one of Chicago's leading architecture firms. He worked on murals and installations for the firm. He also worked on projects across the country, including ornamentation for North Dakota's capitol building in Bismarck, an acclaimed series of stained glass windows in architect Barry Byrne's Church of Christ the King in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and murals for Fred Harvey restaurants—a chain of eateries in railroad depots—in three states. He rarely, if ever, turned down a job, and he worked in both architecture and graphic design. In the '30s, Miller's most prolific decade, his work included stained glass for major office buildings and mausoleums, stone sculptures for churches and other facades, murals for restaurants and private clubs, book covers, and advertisements for the department story Marshall Field and Company. (Some of his architectural projects and murals survive, but many do not). One trade magazine, Modern Advertising on Display, said he "pioneered the use of modern art in advertising," while Architecture magazine hailed him as "a new luminary."

While he was working on his commercial projects in the '20s, Miller was also making art independently, and he was part of a rich community of bohemian artists. One of them was his friend Sol Kogen, who hatched a plan to create a new artists' colony in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood, where rents were low. Kogen had the money to buy old buildings, and his idea was to have artists rehab them in exchange for rent. The first such complex is now known as the Carl Street Studios, at 155 West Burton.
One of Miller's heroes was William Morris, a leader in the British Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century, which sought to vindicate crafts made by hand and so-called decorative arts in an increasingly industrial world. Morris believed a home could be a complete work of art, bringing together all of the arts. Miller sought to create such a work at Carl Street, and for him that meant that every detail was embellished. "Miller was part of this movement of romantic eclecticism, the idea of art, design and architecture all coming together," says Zac Bleicher, founder and executive director of Edgar Miller Legacy. The Carl Street Studios were Miller's first chance to achieve his vision, and he threw himself into it with the feverish intensity with which he approached all his projects. "Miller had to be creating at all times," Sullivan observes.
The wealthy industrialist R.W. Glasner, who had been following Miller's career, commissioned him to make one of the nine apartments at 1734 N. Wells Street into space where he could entertain. (Edgar Miller Legacy)
Miller made major architectural changes to the Victorian building, including removing floors to create two-story vertical windows. His process remains something of a mystery: An architect, Andrew Ribori, was designated to consult, but Miller rarely sought his advice, instead improvising from rough sketches or nothing at all. He was helped by builders and artisans he knew and trusted, including his brother and sister. While Kogen had enough money to buy the buildings, there wasn't much budget beyond that, so, Miller salvaged his materials from wrecking sites. From his rural upbringing, Miller was accustomed to working with whatever was at hand, and creative reuse became an important part of his process.
Miller adorned spaces with as many handmade details as he could: frescoes and murals, tile friezes, iron railings, light fixtures he built himself, and built-in fireplaces surrounded by tile mosaics. Bleicher says, "At Carl Street, a little moment of genius will appear around a corner—a stained glass window, or a mosaic." In the '40s, a writer for The New York Times Magazine described the studios: "In this one structure, there's a touch of Moderne, Deco, Prairie, Tudor, Mission, a little English Country House and Arts and Crafts."

The Carl Street Studios, which are still intact and privately owned today, were a progenitor of Glasner Studio, which is considered Miller's masterpiece and is the subject of the new virtual tour. In 1928, Kogen purchased another apartment building at 1734 N. Wells Street, now known as the Kogen-Miller Studios. The wealthy industrialist R.W. Glasner, who had been following Miller's career, commissioned him to make one of the nine apartments into space where he could entertain. "Finally, Miller had the budget to do everything that he wanted, and Glasner gave him free reign," Bleicher says. Over several years, Miller packed the four-story, 3,000-square-foot studio with stained glass windows, wood carvings, tilework and bas-reliefs.
The apartment changed hands over the years, but remarkably, Miller's work remained intact. Frank Furedy, a businessman who held a number of patents, bought the apartment in the 1940s and brought Miller back to create a carved ceiling on the first floor that depicts the world's greatest scientists and inventors, such as Guglielmo Marconi, who invented the radio. (Furedy himself was included). A carving of a mushroom cloud with "AD 1945" below it reflects the fact that the first atomic bombs had just been dropped. In the '60s, the apartment was owned by civil rights activist Lucy Hassell Montgomery, who hosted her radical friends there, including Fred Hampton, a leader in the Black Panther Party hiding out from the FBI, who deemed him a threat. (The apartment was added to the FBI's hotspot list). In the 2000s, the space was restored by owner Mark Mamolen, and filled with period furniture and collected works by Miller, such as painted ceramics, drawings and pieces of murals.

Edgar Miller Legacy began offering small public tours of Glasner Studio in 2014. The apartment complex is still privately owned—Glasner Studio itself is owned by a member of Bleicher's family—so access is limited. The organization estimates that fewer than a few thousand people have ever seen the space over the course of its existence. (The fact that his best work is in private homes is yet another reason why Miller remains little-known).
"Glasner Studio is like nothing you've ever seen before," says Richard Cahan, co-author, with Michael Williams, of Edgar Miller and The Handmade Home. "It shows how Miller had an encyclopedic mind, for architecture, humanity and life itself. He did everything in a completely spontaneous manner, and he had fun, unlike most architects. It's impossible to place him in the pantheon of Chicago architecture, because he was an original."

The virtual tour allows viewers to explore a 3D rendering of the space and click on various elements to read text, listen to audio clips and watch videos about them. Walking in the door, one can see up to the second level, and a two-story stained glass window. Above the door is a white plaster bas-relief that depicts five muses: dance, music, drama, art and, in the center, architecture. "Miller believed architecture was the highest art form, where science and technology blend with artistic expression and produce harmonious living environments," Sullivan says in the tour audio.
Visitors can follow the stairs, which are covered by elaborately carved wood latticeworks—some geometric, some featuring flora and fauna—up to the top floor, where they'll see The Garden of Paradise stained glass window, the space's apotheosis, both literally and figuratively. Sullivan calls the window, which is nine feet tall and 20 feet wide, spanning an entire wall, "one of the greatest secular stained glass pieces in America." Jungle animals, birds and nude men and women are stylistically posed in an idyllic garden. In one of the 24 panels, a woman caresses a stag. The window epitomizes Miller's ideas about the sanctity of nature and his wish for humanity to live in harmony with it. A pitched ceiling makes the room feel like a cathedral.
The apartment changed hands over the years, but remarkably, Miller's work remained intact. (Edgar Miller Legacy)
"All of Miller's many influences are in that window," Sullivan says, of The Garden of Paradise. "Medieval, byzantine, modern, organic naturalism, there's so much synthesized, yet it's not discordant." A chevron pattern appears in the window and throughout the house and is thought to demonstrate the influence of Mexican folk traditionalism, in which a zig-zag signifies the cycle of life, ascending from birth into life and then descending into death.
"While nothing can replace seeing Glasner Studio in-person, a virtual tour is in some ways a better way to it, because in person the space can be visually overwhelming," Cahan says. "I had to walk through it many times before I could grab it in my mind. But I knew immediately I'd never seen anything like it before."
The apartment complex is still privately owned—Glasner Studio itself is owned by a member of Bleicher's family—so access is limited. (Edgar Miller Legacy)
Edgar Miller Legacy created the virtual tour when Covid-19 made it impossible for people to tour the space in person. Glasner Studio has been closed for public tours since March. The nonprofit hopes the tour will raise awareness of Miller's work, and encourage preservation of the spaces and more scholarship on the artist. Miller's papers are housed at the Chicago History Museum, but he has been little studied, Sullivan says. "There's been a lot of scholarship about art and architecture in mid-century Chicago, but not as much about the interwar years," she observes.
According to Bleicher, Miller was part of an experimental culture in the 1920s and '30s that had a hopeful vision for the future. That vision didn't pan out because of the Great Depression, and a very sterilized style of architecture and design took over after World War II. "Miller challenged expectations, molds, ideas about what art can be," he adds. "Exploring the living spaces he created, you see his philosophy of unbridled creativity. We hope people will see that and be inspired."
For Cahan, Miller's "legacy" is hard to pin down. "When I think of the word legacy, I think of people following in a person's footsteps," he says. "Nobody has followed in Edgar Miller's footsteps, because nobody can do what he did."

A new study demonstrates the strong influence ancestry plays in Americans' interpretation of whether someone is black, white or multiracial, highlighting differences in the way race is socially constructed in the U.S. compared to other parts of the world.
"Our results speak to completely different definitions of what race is and whether ancestry or family background is even relevant to race," said Chen, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah. "It is ingrained in Americans to think about race in terms of heritage. In the U.S., people ask about where your family is from as a way to ascertain your race. But in Brazil, people don't focus on family history when determining someone's race."
In the first study, the researchers showed participants images of multiracial children. The participants were told the child was born in their native country and given one of three stories about parentage: that his/her parents were both African American; both white; or that one parent was African American and the other was white. They were then asked to identify the child's race.
Brazilians were more likely to answer that question based on the children's looks, ignoring what the researchers said about the parents' race, while Americans categorized the children based on the information about the parents' race.
Consider rapper/actor Ice T, actress Halle Berry or former president Barack Obama: All are generally referred to as black—and also self-identify as black—when, in fact, each has a multiracial and ethnic heritage, Chen said.
Brazilians' determinations were based most strongly on skin tone, while Americans relied on a combination of skin tone and facial features to decide a person's race—demonstrating that not only are there cultural differences in people's definitions of race, but also that there are cultural differences in the physical characteristics that people use to determine others' race. Brazilians' race perceptions were predominately "skin deep;" Americans paid more attention to facial features to discern someone's race.
In the third phase, researchers explored cultural differences in the motivations behind racial categorizations. They assessed participants' social dominance orientation, which captures likelihood that individuals support existing social status hierarchies. People who are low in social dominance orientation are relatively egalitarian. In contrast, people who high in social dominance orientation tend to tolerate social inequalities and are motivated to protect the current hierarchy.
Historically, when Americans feel the racial status quo is threatened they have been more likely to determine the classification of a person of mixed-race ancestry based on the race of the more socially subordinate parent—and this is particularly true for people who have a high social dominance orientation.
In the experiment, Americans who were generally more supportive of status hierarchies saw more people as black when they felt the status quo was being threatened. But this wasn't true of Brazilians who also were supportive of status hierarchies.
"Brazilians' racial hierarchy doesn't work the same way, so they did not protect the status quo by excluding people from the most advantaged group," Chen said.
"Although tensions between racial groups are real in our country, it may benefit us to think about the racial divides as something of our own making—a product of our country's historical treatment of race," Chen said. "This is most clearly seen when in comparison with other countries that don't think about race in the same way. And since racial boundaries are created and reinforced by own our psychology, maybe there's a way for us to recreate them as well."

BROADWAY'S RACE CASTING CONTROVERSY | Why are Asian Americans invisible on NYC stages?
2 May 2016 Randy Gener
Asian American actors and performers have gathered forces to figure out the meaning behind a slew of statistics. Data revealed in a 2012 study has found the smoking gun — that Asian American performers are not part of "the trend toward more inclusive casting" in New York theater.
AWARDS WATCH: And the 2013 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize for best play by a woman goes to….
The 2012-2013 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize Winner will be awarded $25,000, and will also receive a signed print by the artist Willem de Kooning. Each of the additional Finalists will receive $2,500.
Why are Asian Americans invisible on NYC stages? Feb. 13 industry town hall confronts the powers-that-be.
30 Jan 2012 Randy Gener
"Asian American performers are the least likely among the major minority groups to play roles that are not defined by their race," says a coalition of Asian American actors.


While there's some clamor for Rogue One star Riz Ahmed to play Carnage in the upcoming Venom movie but it looks like that's not the case.
According to several sources, Ahmed will play the role of Dr. Carlton Drake, who leads the company known as The Life Foundation, a medical company that set its sight on Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote when they moved from New York City to San Francisco.
Ahmed was spotted on the set of Venom all dressed up and not looking like Carnage at all.
Sony had previously announced that the Venom movie will be loosely based on the "Lethal Protector" miniseries so this is definitely a sign that they are trying to make something out of the project.
Venom stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, Michelle Williams, Woody Harrelson, Jenny Slate and directed by Ruben Fleischer.

Ambassador & Black 47 headline Hooley on the Hudson
Posted by Sharyn Flanagan on August 29, 2022 in Events, Music · 0 Comments
Irish author, playwright and satellite radio host Larry Kirwan (above) playing with his band Black 47. The group was formed in 1989, and it takes its name from a traditional term for the summer of 1847, the worst year of the Great Irish Famine.
The Ulster County chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) will once again sponsor the Hooley on the Hudson in Kingston – a family-friendly festival celebrating all things Irish – on Sunday, August 31 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. This will be the 13th go-round for the festivities, all of which are free of charge to enjoy. The Hooley is held at Kingston's T. R. Gallo Memorial Park, where the Irish disembarked more than a century ago to work on the D & H Canal.
The events take place on three stages, each with its own emcee kicking off the live entertainment at 11:30 a.m. The Feeney Stage offers local talent, the Tara Stage features national acts and the Spoken Word Stage presents storytelling.
The Tara Stage will feature the New York Show Band with Tommy Flynn, the Andy Cooney Band, BarleyJuice and the New York City-based Irish rock band Black 47, performing for one of the last times before they disband later this year. The overtly political group's musical influences include reggae, hip-hop, folk and jazz, and the topics of their songs range from the Northern Ireland conflict to civil rights and urban unrest issues in contemporary New York.
The lineup for local talent on the Feeney Stage includes Vince Fisher and Tommy Kiernan, the Ulster County AOH Division 1 Pipes and Drums, Jimmy Walsh, the Celtic Heels School of Irish Dance, the Quinn Brothers, the Solas An Lae Irish-American dance troupe, Mc Groovin and Mac Cana.
On the Spoken Word Stage will be Karen Pillsworth, Lorraine Hartin-Gelardi, Jim Hawkins and Kate Danaher, until 5:30 p.m. when traditional Irish singer Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhride, from County Donegal, performs.
The day before the Hooley, on Saturday, August 30, Ireland's Ambassador to the US Anne Anderson will be welcomed to Kingston with a reception held in her honor from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Scheduled speakers at the reception include congressman Chris Gibson, assemblyman Kevin Cahill, Ulster County executive Mike Hein, state senator Cecilia Tkaczyk and Kingston mayor Shayne Gallo, actor and author Malachy McCourt, Nancy Carey Cassidy (daughter of former New York State governor Hugh Carey) and Pulitzer Prizewinning author and journalist William Kennedy.
Anderson has served as Ireland's Ambassador to the United Nations, the European Union, France and Monaco, and is the first woman to hold each of these positions. With the goal of encouraging tourism and cultural exchange between Ireland and the US, she will travel from Washington, DC to Kingston in support of the construction of the Irish Cultural Center on Abeel Street in the city's Rondout District: a neighborhood that was a melting pot of European immigrants. Anderson will raise the Irish flag on Sunday at 10:45 a.m. to mark the dedication of the building site and then march at the Hooley with a "Parade of Dignitaries" at 11 a.m.
The Irish Cultural Center will be built on land formerly occupied by the headquarters of the D & H Canal Corporation, the site where, for decades, Irish, German, Polish and Italian immigrants walked up Company Hill Path to collect their weekly wages. Though demolished in 1936, the Renaissance Revival-style building that stood on the site is the inspiration for the exterior design of the new center. It will be a 15,000-square-foot space overlooking the Rondout Creek with classroom, performance and retail space on three floors.
Hooley on the Hudson, Sunday, August 31, 11 a.m.-9 p.m., free, T. R. Gallo Park, Historic Rondout Waterfront District, Kingston; (845) 338-6622 , www.ulsteraoh.com. For information about the Irish Cultural Center of the Hudson Valley, visit www.icchv.org or call (845) 389-4673.

You are here: barcelona.de > Guided Tours > Tour proposals > Tour Montjuïc - 1 day with a lot of fresh air, movement and a beautiful view
Tour Montjuïc - 1 day with a lot of fresh air, movement and a beautiful view
A lot of fresh air and a beautiful view over ocean, harbour and Barcelona
During the 1,5 day long tour of the Montjuïc you will get to know the mountain Montjuïc, which is located at the sea and the port. The programme is very varied. On the first day of the tour you will walk about 7-8 kilometres. It's not always easy paths, which is why we recommend good and comfortable shoes.
Points of interest around the Montjuïc
The mountain Barcelona: Montjuïc
Save money with the Barcelona Card
The first day is mostly dedicated to the landscape and the view over the city, harbour and ocean. On the second day it's about 2,5 to 3 kilometres, which are also on easier paths. The cultural programme has priority on the second day.
On the Montjuïc with its many paths, parks and monuments, you can get lost easily. Although a lot of signs post the way, you should take a printed out version of the the tourproposal on the city map with you.
The tour on the Montjuïc on the city map
Here you can see our tour proposal on and around the Montjuïc on the city map. This makes it easier for you to orientate yourself.
Museu d`Història de Catalunya
The first stop of the tour is the museum of Barcelona's history, a journey through Catalonia's history from the stone age until now. It's designed very interesting and one of the most interesting museums of Barcelona.
From the metro station Barcelonate (L4) it's only a few metres to the distinctive brick stone building. There's a cafe on the roof terrace from where you have a wonderful view over the harbour and the Montjuïc.
After the museum walk to the station Plaça Balmeres to the cable car, that leads over the harbour basin to the Montjuïc. The cable car station stands out a mile because of its high steel tower.
Plaça de Sardanas
There's a restaurant/cafe at the top station with a wonderful view over the city. On the terrace towards the city the drinks are cheaper than on the terrace towards the harbour.
From the top station walk about 200 metres straight ahead to a little square, the Plaça de Carles Ibañez. There's a footpath half left, the Carretera de Montjuïc. This path disembogues to a street which is also called Carretera de Montjuïc. Walk up the mountain along this street (to the left).
The first little sight is the Plaça de Sardana. You will recognize this square because of the droup of Sardana dancers that are set in stone. The catalan dance Sardana was forbidden during the Franco dictatorship and today is danced a lot on holidays and sundays in front of the cathedral. Everybody can participate.
Castell de Montjuïc
The next station, which is only about 500 metres away, has an inglorious historical background. During Francos time, a lot of political opponents were imprisoned in the Castell de Montjuïc, the castle at the top of the mountain. They often disappeared or were executed. The Montjuïc was hated by the population for a long time because of that.
You can enter the castell (enty fee), the view is worth it. But if you want to save money, you will see other beautiful views.
Observation point La Caseta del Migdia
Walk around the castell clockwise. It's an unpaved path, but in the end, you will get to a wonderfull observation point. Walk along the path, until you get to a small house, the Caseta del Migda. A little open air bar is located here in the spring and summer. Only about 50 metres away from the house, there's one of Barcelona's most beautiful observation point - and because of its offside location it usually is relatively quiet. Enjoy the beautiful view over the industrial harbour, Llobregat and the mountains, perfect for sunset.
The olympic sports facilities from 1992
From the observation point, follow the street downhill towards the city. Once you got to the parking area, it's only about 50 metres to the Passeig de Migdia, which you will follow to the right. After about 150 metres go left into the c/ Valero. On its left, the Botanical garden is located, which is really worth seeing. At the end of the street, you can go left into the c/ Dr. Font Quer, after about 300 metres to the right the Passeig de Olímpic. You can see the stadium already. Follow the street and walk anticlockwise around the stadium. You can take a look at it at the main entrance.
With the olympic summer games 1992 and the concomitant urban building measures, Barcelona finally broke with the sadness that the Franco-Regime left behind. That's how the population was able to like their Montjuïc again.
Poble Espanyol - the spanish village
Now walk along the big street, which leads past the entrance of the stadium. Take a look at Palau Sant Jordí's forecourt. The Palau sant Jordí is a hall in which large scale events take place today. The white radio and TV tower is very distinctive.
The street leads to the city, past a roundabout in a large sweep to the right. After about 500 metres the Poble Espanyol is located on the right. Typical houses of all parts of Spain are introduced. Craftsmen pursue traditional craftsmanship in the houses. You can also go shopping and eat out very well at Poble Espanyol.
Font Màgica - the magical fountains
At night, when dusk already started, you can watch a special spectacle: The Font Màgica is a complete artwork out of music, water, movement and colours. It's only a few hundret metres from Poble Espanyol to the Font Màgica. You can see the imposing building of the MNAC behind it.
Las Arenas
The mall Las Arenas is located in a converted bullfighting arena. Therefore the building at Plaça Espanya stands out a mile. In the inside you can get gourmet food, clothes, pharmacy products, electronics and goods for the daily needs. There's a cinema with 12 rooms located in the building.
On the roof, there's a 360° observation deck, where you can also eat and drink something in one of the many restaurants. Enjoy the view and let the evening fade away.
To get to Las Arenas, just walk past the two venetian towers to Plaça Espanya, from where several metro and train lines start. You will see Las Arenas on the right side in the back.
Bachground to the Montjuïc
The Montjuïc is an area, which has a distinct nature with its park-like character. The Montjuïc stands for art, sports, culture and enjoyment. The fair is located here also.
Museu National d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC)
The MNAC is located in the former spanish pavilion from the world exhibition from 1929. It harbours the most unique collection of roman frescos worldwide. A visit is worth it also because of the building.
You can confidently claim, that you haven't seen Barcelona if you haven't seen the Fundació Joan Miró. At the slope of the Montjuïc - with a grandiose view over the city - the museum offers an ideal setting for Joan Mirós' art.
CaixaForum
Contemporary art from international painters and sculptors are presented in a renovated textile factory.
Pavillon Mies van der Rohe
The german pavilion was built by Mies van der Rohe for the world exhibition in 1929. The cofounder of the modern architecture used principles, that are common in the modern architecture today: the free and open groundplan. The chair Barcelona is deemed to be the milestone of the modern design . The chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe just for the royal couple for the inauguration. It's not possible to imagine many waiting rooms without the classic.
View from the Castell to the city
Our Montjuïc tour proposal
Suggestions about our Montjuïc tour
During the tour presented here, you have a lot of fresh air and nice views in prospect. Take care of sun protection and keep in mind that it\\\\\\'s pretty windy up on the Montjuïc, which is why it can be quite chilly during the summer also. You should wear good and comfortable shoes as well as a light jacket.
For many of the sights presented here, you can get free admission or reduced entry with the Barcelona Card. You can even get a reduced rate for the cable car, that leads from the city to the Castell. Metro, tram and public service busses are included.

Daytona 24: Fernando Alonso's flying pace interrupted by red flags
Fernando Alonso was in fine form in the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac DPi. The Spaniard worked his way up to the lead of the race, passing both the #31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac and the Team Penske Acura to take the lead in DPi and opened up a significant gap on two separate occasions, before the race was eventually red flagged due to extreme weather conditions.
The Oviedo native had, at that point, already lost the pressure from some of Cadillac's biggest rivals. The two Mazda DPIs had already suffered significant mechanical issues, with the #55 the only car left running before it was struck from behind by an unseen car, sending Olivier Pla into a spin at the exit of the International Horseshoe. The Mazda suffered significant damage to the suspension and bodywork and was eventually forced to retire.
With the Mazdas now out of the running, the battle in DPi became a fight between the Wayne Taylor and Action Express Cadillacs and the Team Penske Acuras, with Jordan Taylor, Alexander Rossi and Felipe Nasr fighting hard for the top spots in the class. The #54 Nissan, having suffered from electrical issues earlier, worked its way up and is currently four laps behind the leaders.
JDC-Miller Motorsports and Mustang Sampling Racing both ran into issues. Rubens Barrichello brought the #85 car in with damage to the left rear, and the #5 also suffered damage on the left rear from a collision.
The wet conditions wreaked havoc on the #18 Dragonspeed ORECA LMP2, with Ryan Cullen having several trips into the tyre barrier, arriving in the pits for repairs on several occasions, suffering engine issues and even leaving a part of the car's tail section on the infield. This allowed the sister car, the #81, to strongly grab the lead. The difference between the two is now three laps, with the other two LMP2 competitors running further behind.
Corvette's night at Daytona is one they would like to forget quite quickly. Antonio Garcia had barely taken the lead in the #3 C7.R before the yellow challenger came to a halt on the oval and had to be towed back. A fuel pressure issue was mostly likely to blame for Corvette handing the lead back to Porsche. Several hours later, as the rain started to become heavier, Tommy Milner lost control of the #4 Corvette and crashed into the tyre barrier on at the runoff area at turn one.
BMW Team RLL also suffered issues, with the #24 of Jesse Krohn picking up a puncture and bodywork damage after running wide in the infield section. The rain also caught out both of the Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GT's, with both Sebastién Bourdais and Scott Dixon spinning out in a similar fashion at turn two, with the Frenchman taking a trip into the tyre barrier.
With cars going of left and right, it was Porsche and Ferrari who kept up the consistent running and fought a hard battle for the front, with James Calado, Patrick Pilet, Earl Bamber and Fred Macowiecki running at the front at some point. Just after the 14-hour point, Patrick Pilet, Laurens Vanthoor, Sebastién Bourdais, James Calado and Augusto Farfus were separated by less than three seconds in a five-car fight for the GTLM lead.
The GTD fight was mostly between Audi, Lexus, Acura, Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG. The #86 of Trent Hindman was a strong front runner, but had heavy competition from the #12 AIM Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 and the #33 Riley Motorsports Mercedes AMG-GT3. Meanwhile, the Audi R8s, which struggled in qualifying, worked their way to the front. Team WRT Speedstar and Montaplast by Land Motorsport soon were in the fight for the lead as the rain intensified. The wet conditions nearly caught out Luca Stolz, who was leading at the time. The German lost traction in turn one and was forced to run wide in the #33 Mercedes, but did not suffer any damage.
Several other GTD runners encountered problems. The #8 Starworks Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo went behind the wall with just under eleven hours to go. PFAFF Motorsports, the Canadian team, ran into several issues regarding the front headlights of their Porsche 911 GT3 R.
Current class leaders at the time of writing:
DPi: Fernando Alonso - #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac DPi-VR
LMP2: James Allen - #81 Dragonspeed ORECA LMP2
GTLM: Alessandro Pier Guidi - #62 Risi Competizione Ferrari 488 GTE
GTD: AJ Allmendinger - #86 Meyers Shank Racing Acura NSX GT3

HOME About T-O-Maps.com
The name and logo of our website (T-O-Maps.com) refer to ancient cartographic representations of the known world. It's a very generalized image at which the letter T is placed inside the letter O. The area outside the circle represents the oceans (and heavens); the 3 parts inside the circle are the then known "old" continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. The top of the map is faced to the East. Most T-O maps date back to the middle ages and were only used to illustrate (religious) text books. The large medieval Mappa Mundi, e.g. the one in Hereford Cathedral (UK), are based on the T-O concept.
The website was launched in 2016, exact 500 years after the famous cartographer Martin Waldseemuller had produced an improved version of his original 12 sheet world map (1507). This second map, the so-called Carta Marina, was the first European world map that abandoned the classical ideas of Ptolemy and incorporated 'modern' charting techniques provided by Portuguese and other explorers.
Cartography is the science and technology of making maps. Its purpose is to store, analyse and visualize spatial related information. As geographers describe the earth, cartographers visualize it. In ancient and medieval times cartography was often seen as a form of art and a way to express religious and political views. But it has gradually evolved into an 'exact' information and communication science. The "Theatre of (Old) Maps" recorded in our e-Atlases is therefore not just a visual tour showing the history of countries. It also marks the most important discoveries and advancement in technology of mankind. From inventions such as the magnetic compass and printing press to modern mapping techniques like satellite remote sensing.

Angle said he had to start out with bad news. The crowd grumbled. Angle said Roman Reigns' suspension was still in effect. There were some cheers. Angle said Brock Lesnar had not arrived at the building, but Vince McMahon assured him that Lesnar would appear. Angle shifted the focus to Braun Stromwan winning the tag team battle royal to earn a Raw Tag Title shot at WrestleMania.
Roman Reigns walked through the crowd and to the ring minus any entrance music. Angle questioned what Reigns was doing and noted that he was trespassing since he was suspended. "Who cares?" Reigns asked. He said Lesnar didn't appear the last three weeks and someone had to represent the WrestleMania main event.
Angle said Lesnar would appear. Reigns asked where he was. Angle said he was told that Lesnar was running a little bit late. Angle said if Reigns wants to talk about it then he'd have to do it outside the building because he was suspended. Reigns said he was suspended for telling the truth. Angle said Reigns just needed to wait three weeks to get his hands on Lesnar.
Reigns said he understood but he didn't care. Reigns said he was in Dallas and made a lot of memories there and wouldn't leave until he made another one. Reigns told Angle to go backstage and make it clear that he wasn't leaving the ring until he faced Lesnar. Angle left the ring and headed backstage. Reigns set up a chair in the ring and sat down.
Three men in U.S. Marshall t-shirts and tactical vests headed to the ring. One of the man read Reigns his rights off a card on his badge. Another one of the men handcuffed Reigns with his hands in front of him. Reigns took offense when the man touched him while trying to lead him out of the ring. Once they got physical, Reigns fought back and worked them over despite being handcuffed.
Brock Lesnar's music played and he rushed to the ring with Paul Heyman carrying the belt behind him. Lesnar entered the ring and gave Reigns a German suplex. Lesnar picked up the chair and struck Reigns with it several times while Heyman stood at ringside holding up the WWE Universal Championship. Lesnar gave Reigns another German suplex. Cole called it a street mugging and added that Reigns picked his spot.
Lesnar picked up Reigns and gave him another German suplex. Lesnar eventually hit him with two more chair shots and then jawed at him off mic before leaving the ring to boos. Lesnar removed his shirt and returned to the ring and hit Reigns with more chair shots and another German suplex. "The most decorated combat athlete in the world," Cole said. "The Universal Champion has to resort to this?"
Lesnar went to ringside and put his title belt over his shoulder, then returned to the ring again. Lesnar hoisted up Reigns and gave him an F5, which drew some cheers. Lesnar let out a primal scream and drew more boos than cheers. Lesnar went back to ringside and headed up the ramp. EMTs walked by Lesnar and Heyman and ended up placing him on a board in the ring and eventually strapping him onto a stretcher.
Lesnar's music played and he returned to ringside and shoved the stretcher and Reigns over. Lesnar smiled and then jawed at Reigns again. The broadcast team said someone had to stop this. Lesnar headed back up the ramp while referees and EMTs checked on Reigns at ringside… [C]
Powell's POV: An excellent angle to open the show. You could see where it was going once Reigns was handcuffed, but the attack by Lesnar was over the top vicious and seemed to turn some in the live crowd against him. Here's hoping they come up with a reason why Seth Rollins didn't save his buddy because it did seem odd that the broadcast team was calling for help and he never came out.
An ad for NXT hyped the return of Ember Moon… The broadcast team recapped the opening segment…
A shot aired of EMTs stretchering Reigns into an ambulance. Coachman said it was the most brutal attack they'd seen in a long time. Graves spoke about how it shows the lengths that Lesnar will go to to keep his title at WrestleMania. Cole set up a video package on Alexa Bliss and Asuka… Alexa Bliss and Mickie James made their entrance heading into a break… [C]
Bliss and James stood in the ring and were booed. Bliss said the fans were right. She said she said some things about Nia Jax that were hurtful and wrong, but she and James were just joking around. She teased apologizing and then said she should have said it sooner. Bliss said she didn't feel an ounce of remorse. She said Nia Jax was humiliated in front of the world and she loved every second of it. She said she never liked Jax and just used her. She said now that it's behind her she can end Asuka's unbeaten streak. Asuka made her entrance… [C]
Powell's POV: The Bliss character is suddenly bold despite the fact that she doesn't have an opponent at WrestleMania. It always seemed like she was friendly with Jax in hopes that she could avoid facing her in a singles match, so this is a bit contradictory, but her mic work is good and it should go a long way toward getting Jax over as a babyface. Bliss and James are the new mean girls. James even changed her look and is full fledged heel despite not really having an actual turn.
1. Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss (w/Mickie James) vs. Asuka in a non-title match. The match was joined in progress. Bliss dumped Asuka to ringside heading into a break. [C] Asuka applied an ankle lock. Bliss eventually reached the ropes to break it. Bliss sold on the floor and was helped away by James as the referee counted her out…
Asuka defeated Alexa Bliss via count-out in a non-title match in 12:00.
After the match, Nia Jax ran out and attacked Bliss, who was suddenly able to run despite her "injury". James went after Jax from behind. Jax tossed James into the side of the ring, and Bliss was able to escape Jax through the crowd. Jax eventually ran after Bliss and chased her to the back…
Cole hyped John Cena wanting answers from Undertaker, and Graves hyped Braun Strowman and an update on the tag title situation for after the break… [C]
Powell's POV: The idea of joining an Asuka match in progress strikes me as counterproductive. WWE has established Asuka as being dominant to the point that you'd think they would avoid doing this because they created the perception that her matches can end at any time. Anyway, Jax going after Bliss seemed to be over with the live crowd. Hopefully they don't have Jax get her hands on Bliss until WrestleMania. By the way, where's the in-show hype for the Ultimate Deletion?
A recap aired of Braun Strowman winning the tag team battle royal last week…
[Hour Two] Backstage, Bliss told Angle that Jax should be arrested. Angle said the Raw Women's Champion should be a role model, not a bully. Angle announced Bliss vs. Jax for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania. Bliss looked fearful…
Powell's POV: Here's hoping the match sticks. I have been leaving the door open for Sasha Banks and Bayley to be added, but I'm happy they appear to be going with singles matches for both women's championships.
Braun Strowman made his entrance as the broadcast team noted that Angle ruled prior to Raw that he must find a tag partner in order to challenge for the Raw Tag Titles at WrestleMania. Strowman said he doesn't think he needs a tag partner and knows he could win the tag titles by himself.
Sheamus and Cesaro's music interrupted Strowman. Sheamus said he was out of his mind if he thought he could beat the two of them by himself. Cesaro ran through how long it takes tag wrestlers to form chemistry. He said they have to ride together, eat together, and sleep together. The last part got the expected reaction from Strowman and the crowd. Sheamus said he meant tag partners have to "room together".
Strowman interrupted the duo as they tried to say their catchphrase. Sheamus said he and Cesaro would make Brock Lesnar's beating of Roman Reigns look tame. Strowman informed them that Angle gave him a match against one of them. He asked which man wanted to get "these hands." Both men teased entering the ring, but Sheamus turned and headed back to ringside…
2. Braun Strowman vs. Cesaro (w/Sheamus). Strowman tossed Cesaro to ringside during the first minute of the match and they went to break. [C] Strowman took out Sheamus on the floor by charging at him after he'd interfered a couple of times. Strowman put Cesaro away with a running powerslam a short time later…
Braun Strowman beat Cesaro in 8:40.
The broadcast team hyped John Cena seeking an answer to his challenge of Undertaker. They also hyped Ultimate Deletion for later in the show…
Footage aired from inside Matt Hardy's home. Hardy spoke as his wife Queen Rebecca played the piano while Lord Wolfgang was on her back. King Maxel showed up. Senor Benjamin stood by. Hardy told Vanguard 1 (his drone) to scan the property nonstop. Hardy told Benjamin to prepare the battlefield for annihilation… [C]
Powell's POV: The idea is that Strowman can select a partner of his choosing, according to the broadcast team. It will be interesting to see whether they announce it in advance or if they have someone in mind as a mystery partner. Elias has been a popular pick. Could this be a spot for Rey Mysterio? Meanwhile, I'm really looking forward to the return of the Broken Brilliance rather than the half-assed feud that Hardy and Bray Wyatt have had thus far.
An ad for Smackdown questioned whether Daniel Bryan can gain control of Smackdown Live…
3. "The Revival" Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder vs. Titus O'Neil and Apollo (w/Dana Brooke). The bell rang coming out of commercial and neither team received a televised entrance. Wilder made a blind tag late and then he and Dawson hit the Shatter Machine on Apollo for the win…
The Revival beat Titus O'Neil and Apollo in 3:10.
After the match, Charly Caruso entered the ring and asked the Revival what their path would be to WrestleMania now that Braun Strowman won the tag team battle royal. Dawson said they would be the first tag team to ever win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania…
Powell's POV: Part of me was waiting for Caruso to inform the duo that The Dre wasn't even announced for WrestleMania, but I guess this qualifies as the announcement.
Cole set up the Hall of Fame video for Mark Henry… The broadcast team hyped a women's tag match for after the break… [C] A video aired on WWE women past and present and noted that the company is celebrating women's history month. The broadcast team hyped the WWE 24 special on the women's division that will air on WWE Network after Raw…
Bayley made her entrance for a tag match with Sasha Banks against Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. Banks's music played and she came out with a mic in hand and said she wanted to fix whatever was happening between her and Bayley. She said it was every woman for herself at Elimination Chamber. The crowd gave Banks the "What?" treatment as she recalled Bayley walking out on her twice. She said Bayley is her sister and she forgives her. Banks offered Bayley a handshake.
Bayley said she was angry and acted impulsively the night after Elimination Chamber. She said she actually helped her win the next week, but then she took off right after the match because she can't get over what Banks did to her at Elimination Chamber. Bayley said it's not about what she did, it's about how she did it.
Bayley said Banks does what she has to do to win her matches, but the look on her face and her smirk after she kicked her down the pod eats at her core. Bayley said she can't get the image out of her head. "You're supposed to be my best friend, so why was knocking me down so easy like it meant nothing?" Bayley asked. Absolution's music played before Banks could respond. Paige said her women would show whiney little girls how real women settle a score…
4. Sasha Banks and Bayley vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville (w/Paige). Absolution cleared the ring early in the match heading into a break. [C] Late in the match, Bayley had Deville pinned via backslide, but the referee was cuagh tup with Banks and Rose. Bayley blamed Banks and they bickered. Deville knocked Bayley into Banks and then delivered a high kick to Bayley's head and pinned her…
Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville beat Sasha Banks and Bayley in 10:00.
Graves hyped the John Cena segment for after the break… [C]
Powell's POV: Cole openly questioned if Banks and Bayley will be in the women's battle royal, so it looks like that's where this storyline will play out. At this point, they both have valid criticisms of the other and it's actually making them both less likable.
[Hour Three] John Cena made his entrance and recalled issuing his challenging to Undertaker last week. He said we would all find out Undertaker's response tonight. He said he can't believe how long Taker has been in hiding. He said Taker thinks he no longer belongs in WWE. Cena said that's ridiculous and as long as there is a WWE then the name Undertaker has meaning.
Cena hyped up the crowd for Undertaker's response and then said it was nothing. "Not a yes, not a no, nothing," Cena said. "And that is the biggest mistake that Undertaker has ever made." Cena said it's disrespectful to him and disrespectful to the fans. Cena said Undertaker should just say he's retired if that's the case, but otherwise he should give the world what they want to see.
Cena said Undertaker sits and drowns in his insecurities. "You are not the god that they made you, you are the man that you've allowed yourself to become," Cena said. "And that man, Undertaker, is a coward." Cena looked into the camera and said, "Undertaker is a coward." Cena said he doesn't even need a yes or no. He'd settle for a casket or the smoke or whatever he does.
"Be a man, be the Undertaker, do something," said Cena. The fans responded by chanting "Do something." Cena said this is the moment that Taker let everyone down who believed in him. "You are not a god and right now you should barely be able to call yourself a man," said Cena.
Kane's music played and he made his entrance. Cena said Kane was sent by Undertaker to give them all the response they deserve. Cena asked Kane if it was yes or no and then stuck the microphone in his face. Kane grabbed Cena by the throat and chokeslammed him. Coachman questioned if that was a yes or a no. Cole wondered if it was Kane stepping up to face Cena at WrestleMania…
Powell's POV: A good segment. Cena was over the top with his promo to start with, but he hit on the key points that I'm sure we'll be hearing repeatedly in video packages for the next few weeks. The segment could have used a commercial break to give it a chance to breathe rather than immediately being followed by a recap video.
The broadcast team set up a video that recapped the opening segment with Reigns and Lesnar. Cole said Reigns was hospitalized and would not be released tonight. He then went right into hyping Lesnar vs. Reigns for WrestleMania as if it was a foregone conclusion. Coachman hyped a look at Ronda Rousey's journey to WrestleMania later in the show. Graves hyped the Ultimate Deletion for later in the show as well…
The Miz, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel made their entrance. Cole hyped the trio facing The Balor Club "for the first time ever"… [C] A Dallas Cowboys player was shown in the crowd. They only showed one player, but the graphic listed "Dallas Cowboys"…
Footage aired of Matt Hardy seeking advice from his giraffe George Washington…
The Miz delivered an in-ring promo while Dallas and Axel stood by. Miz griped that he gets no respect. He complained that he wasn't even on the WrestleMania magazine despite the fact that he's about to become the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in history. He also complained that he doesn't have to be pinned or submit to lose his title at WrestleMania.
Miz said he exposed Finn Balor and Seth Rollins as liars last week while Dallas and Axel were too busy doing something else. He said the nudge he gave them last week will turn into a big push for Tyler Black and Prince "Nevitt" when he sends them down to the bingo hall so they can too sweet all the independent fans. His rant was interrupted by Balor Club's entrances. Seth Rollins made his entrance and headed toward the broadcast table… [C]
Powell's POV: For those who only follow WWE, Balor worked as Prince Devitt and Rollins worked as Tyler Black prior to signing with WWE. It looked like Miz botched the Devitt name accidentally, but it works either way since that will get under the skin of longtime Balor fans.
5. Finn Balor, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson vs. The Miz, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel. Rollins sat in on commentary for the match. The match was joined in progress. The Miz DDT'd Anderson heading into a break. [C] Late in the match, Miz and Axel collided and then Balor rolled up Miz and pinned him to win the match.
Finn Balor, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson defeated The Miz, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel.
After the match, Miz and company attacked the three babyfaces. Miz wanted to hit his finisher on Balor, but Rollins ran to the ring and made the save. Rollins cleared the cronies and hit the Stomp on Miz, then jawed off-mic with Balor and they both looked at the WrestleMania sign…
Another Hardy teaser aired with his boat Skarsgard at the Lake of Reincarnation… Cole hyped a Ronda Rousey video for after the break… [C]
Powell's POV: So Rollins saves one of his WrestleMania opponents, but not his buddy Reigns earlier in the show. Strange. The broadcast team threw all sorts of questions at Rollins, but the fact that he never saved Reigns didn't come up. Why not cover that base by simply stating that he was late arriving to the building?
Graves hyped John Cena vs. Kane for next week's Raw in Cleveland. Cole transitioned to the Rousey video…
The video featured Kurt Angle saying that Rousey is tough, intense, and a badass. She was sitting next to him and said it's damn true. She spoke about her dad telling her to be the best at what she does. She spoke about living in her car and deciding that she was going to break a lot of arms and at least that way she would feed her dogs. She said she's not arrogant, she just knows she's the best. She questioned if that makes her a bitch because she's a woman. She said she believed the was the best and she was.
Rousey said she walked away from her last fight thinking God hates her. She said she had nothing left in her. She got emotional as she spoke about her husband being amazing. She said she went through a tough time and he told her that she was more than just a fighter. "I'm not afraid to care anymore," she said. She said everything led to this and she didn't even realize she was on this path. She said WWE is a dream come true. Angle said all eyes will be on her in their match because whether fans love her or hate her will want to see her succeed or fail. She said it's a lot of pressure, but it brings out the best in her. She said she thought UFC was all she ever cared about, but things happen and now this is all she cares about. She said she was always meant to be on this stage and was always meant to be at WrestleMania… Cole hyped the mixed tag match for WrestleMania…
Ultimate Deletion time. Bray Wyatt arrived at the gates of the Hardy Compound and was greeted by Vanguard 1. The Hardy projection shot out of Vanguard 1 and welcomed Wyatt to his compound at his deletion. Reby Hardy played a piano next to a ring that was set up outdoors. Hardy stood in the ring and once Wyatt arrived he said, "Bray Wyatt, I knew you'd come"… [C]
The broadcast team set up the Ultimate Deletion. Cole said it was obnoxious and surreal. Graves scolded him and said it was the culmination of the Great War. Cole said he was sorry for what fans were about to watch…
[Overrun] The WWE referee called for the bell. Hardy and Wyatt circled around one another in the ring while laughing. Hardy said the time for laughing was over. Vanguard 1 was shown flying around the ring as Hardy and Wyatt fought. Wyatt had Hardy down at one point and yelled, "I'm a god!" He asked where his manners were and said he forgot to give Matt his housewarming gift. Wyatt pulled a chair out from underneath the ring.
Hardy called for Vanguard to initiate. Wyatt asked what he was initiating. A bunch of fireworks shot off around the ring and then Hardy regained offensive control and struck Wyatt with a chair. They fought outside the ring and a Vanguard 1 graphic listed Dilapidated City. Hardy asked Wyatt if the shack behind him reminded him of anything. Wyatt knelt down and laughed as old footage aired of him in his rocking chair inside a shack. Hardy told him to wake up and they fought with a kendo stick.
Wyatt screamed and we could apparently see his flashbacks to a burning shack. Wyatt searched for Hardy. The graphic read "Land of Obsolete Men" as they went to the Hardy symbol graveyard(?). Hardy caught up to Wyatt and worked him over before running him into the door of giant shed or garage area, which contains a wrestling ring. The graphic read "Dome of Deletion" as they entered and there was a white piano, a ladder, and a riding lawnmower. Hardy worked over Wyatt with the ladder.
Hardy spoke to his "chair of wheels" and "mower of lawns." Hardy got on the lawnmower and drove it toward Wyatt, who struck the crab pose and then stood up and smiled. Wyatt took control of the fight and threw Hardy inside the ring. Wyatt dragged Hardy out of the dome and Vanguard 1 showed him carrying Hardy toward the Lake of Reincarnation. Wyatt set up for his finisher near Skarsgard, but gave it up and instead grabbed Vanguard 1. He told Vanguard 1 he would deal with him later and let him go.
Wyatt tipped over Skarsgard the boat expecting to find Hardy, but he instead found Senor Benjamin, who said he's got the hole world in his hands. Brother Nero (Jeff Hardy) popped up next to Wyatt and sang the same thing. Matt hit Wyatt with a Twist of Fate and pinned him to win the, um, match.
Wyatt got up and said it' wasn't over. Hardy shoved Wyatt into the Lake of Reincarnation. Hardy called for Benjamin and told him to retrieve Wyatt's carcass. After searching for a matter of seconds, Benjamin declared that Wyatt's carcass was not there. Hardy declared the Great War as being over and said Wyatt had been deleted. Hardy did the delete gesture a few times to close the show…
Powell's POV: It was a fun throwback for fans who remember the Broken Universe from TNA fondly, but this was not the best of the various trips to the Hardy Compound that we've seen. It was light on cameos and I can't help but feel as though they would have been better off not showing any of Matt's family members or throwback things like Vanguard 1 and Skarsgard until the video actually aired because then they also would have felt like fun surprises rather than expected appearances. I'm happy we finally got to see this in WWE, but I don't expect this to generate the same level of buzz with new viewers that the first version did in TNA. By the way, they did not show this in the arena to the live crowd. They reportedly went with a Braun Strowman vs. Elias match instead.
Overall, Raw wasn't as strong as last week, though the build to WrestleMania has been well done thus far. The show peaked with the excellent angle that opened the show. It was disappointing that we didn't see Rousey appear again despite the fact that she was advertising on the WWE and arena website. I will have much more to say about the show in my members' exclusive audio review later tonight.

I don't think it will work for the Wrestlemania and Raw after crowd, but I'll be damned if they aren't doing an amazing job of making Lesnar the heel in this situation.
Reality March 19, 2018 @ 7:56 pm
Here's a question. We saw this match a few years ago. What about Reigns has changed to make him more of a face? What about Lesnar has made him more of a heel? What about this match makes anyone even more eager to see it this time around, especially given the notion Reigns is leaving with the championship this time? THIS is why Rousey is in WWE.This is why The Undertaker/Cena is being made.
People hate Reigns. That won't change.
Nick March 20, 2018 @ 2:54 am
It has finally happened. My age is showing. I'm 51 and have been watching WWF/WWE since 1981. I absolutely, completely HATED this "Ultimate Deletion" crap. Unlike other online comments I've seen praising this, I find it completely stupid. Can't stand Hardy's fake Game of Thrones accent. Hate his psycho laugh. Dislike the music in the background. Hate the video game theme. The whole thing for me was confusing, jarring and unwatchable. Even for WWE's standards, this goes way too far out of bounds of reality, for a product in which you already have to suspend your disbelief. For this old school fan, this is a terrible move. Not in the least bit fun. Lose it.
Jason March 20, 2018 @ 9:20 am
Been watching since 89…I completely agree with you sir.
Reality4U March 20, 2018 @ 8:22 am
If the reigns angle had been done by Impact every columnist here would be crapping all over it by saying, "He hit law enforcement officers, that's ridiculous". OF course its NOT Impact, its WWE, so naturally this is overlooked. Sad.
Jason Powell March 20, 2018 @ 9:24 am
Poor, poor Impact. Please stop with this WWE vs. Impact silliness. I spent time laughing about the U.S. Marshalls in audio last night.
Reality March 20, 2018 @ 12:25 pm
Reality4U is not the same person you interacted with here the other day. I've never seen it as a WWE vs Impact thing. However, the attitude you're conveying now is indicative of the sense fans get from this site regarding Impact and to a lesser degree, the other companies out there, that you'll do the bare minimum regarding discussing Impact.
The claim is they tape so infrequently, that there is no point commenting on shows from weeks ago. If that's the case, why is Impact reviewed every week as if no one knows what will happen the following week?
I suppose the argument is that there are fans of Impact out there that don't know what the spoilers were. But wouldn't it seem odd to those fans that there is never any follow up on the story lines, wrestlers or potential of what they see each week?
You can have it both ways. It's your site to do with as you please. However, there is a growing undercurrent of frustrated fans that don't enjoy being blitzed with all things WWE. Fans that would like to read about the thoughts of the staff about Impact. You have them, you just don't express them with any regularity. You can argue there's only so much to comment on, but isn't the same with WWE?
For God's sake, they're running the same main event story line they ran three years ago. It's STILL all about HHH and Stephanie and John Cena and Roman Reigns. Think that might be getting old?
Back in the day, I was an ardent WWF/E fan in their war with WCW. I couldn't understand why people would want to watch Nitro instead of Raw?
After all the years and all the lackluster shows and angles that end in the same fashion, I now understand the need for something different.
Yep, Impact is poor, poor. They seem to be doomed forever to being viewed as 'TNA' by wrestling media despite the upward trend in interest by fans.
Jason Powell March 20, 2018 @ 12:39 pm
Impact is reviewed each week. There's a regular review, an audio review, and a Hit List. Their meaningful news and viewership number is covered. I'm honestly not sure how much more can be done at this point on a company that tapes television in bunches and has a revolving door of talent. Perhaps that will change when/if they settle in with a regular roster. ROH is covered. I'm covering more NJPW shows than ever before. John Moore covers Lucha Underground when it's in season. Naturally, WWE is going to get the most coverage because they are the biggest company and offer the most programming. Honest question. Other than Impact fan sites, are there other sites that are giving Impact more attention than we do? I'm not saying we have the most Impact coverage, but I'd say it's very comparable.
In the past two weeks, there has been a Rosemary interview and an Impact Conference call with Taya Valkyrie that I have not seen on here. Small things, but their content gave some meaningful insight into both their characters and their company.
That said, your coverage is comparable with the mainstream sites I have seen.
I've taken a long look at your recent site postings over the past few months. I do notice the trend towards simply reviewing, previewing and posting tidbits of news. I remember a time where there were more opinion pieces, more speculative articles and more general commentary regarding all the companies.
I don't listen to the podcasts. I'm not a subscriber. I acknowledge that I might be unfairly painting your site in a bad light based on what I do see. Perhaps it's part of your model to offer more in depth discussion in those podcasts and behind the subscriber wall.
I think I'm hoping for something that's no longer a part of the mainstream sites, that being in depth opinions and commentary on the material that is being produced regardless of how often.
Again, if that lies beyond the pay wall, then it's on me because I don't make a habit of paying for wrestling news, etc.
I see these sites more in the frame of ESPN, not only reporting happenings, but opining on happenings, breaking down the meanings and looking at the players involved.
'Philosophical differences' comes to mind regarding these series of exchanges, lol.

Q: Sulu: Entity has no field or association error I'm following Sulu example here: https://github.com/sulu/sulu-workshop/
trying to set translations for custom entity type.
My entity file has getter for field "home_team" defined like:
/**
 * @Serializer\VirtualProperty(name="home_team")
 */
public function getHomeTeam(): ?string
{
    $translation = $this->getTranslation($this->locale);
    if (!$translation) {
        return null;
    }
    return $translation->getHomeTeam();
}

So field is not actually part of that entity, but of it's translation entity since it suppose to be translatable.
When I try to create new object of that entity type it works well. I can see in database that field values are stored well and I don't get any error.
But on overview page instead of list of all objects I get error:
[Semantical Error] line 0, col 73 near 'home_team AS': Error: Class App\Entity\MatchEvent has no field or association named home_team
Any idea what could be wrong here?

A: If you wanna see the translation in the listView you have to create a real translationEntity, like in the workshop project. In this post it is already explained, how to translate a custom entity correctly.
If you have already created your translationEntity you have to configure the relation of the translation to your main entity via a join. Here is an example in the workshop for this configuration.
Sulu uses optimised queries to create the list-object directly from the database. So the entity itself does not get hydrated or serialised for performance reasons. Thus your virtualProperty is never executed.
