Once logged in, jta.org.jm is a place for JTA members to meet, interact, and share ideas with each other. In doing so, it is important that members build a community that is based on clarity of purpose, trust, and boundaries, the same issues that exist in a real-world community.
As in any community, including a cyber-community, members have different opinions and choose to express those ideas in many ways. However, community is most effective when its members remember a few rules that foster respect for individuals, groups, and the organization. It is JTA's intent to provide its members with the best service possible through the website, as it does in all other areas of member service. To accomplish this task, the JTA Board of Directors has adopted this policy to outline acceptable use on jta.org.jm. To participate in this site, you must follow the policies outlined below and in the expanded Acceptable Use Policy that follows this brief summary.
The use of the logged in area of this site is for JTA members only and it is dedicated to providing an opportunity for users to exchange ideas and opinions regarding education — pre-kindergarten through university.
As a user of this site, you agree not to impersonate any person or entity, including but not limited to, an official of JTA or its affiliated local associations, or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
JTA reserves the right to edit or delete any message.
Messages that do not relate to education or the issues outlined in JTA policy will not be posted.
Messages may not be posted in "real time." JTA reserves the right to post messages only after they have been reviewed by a moderator.
All messages posted on jta.org.jm express only the views of the author of the message and do not necessarily reflect the views of JTA.
JTA uses moderators to monitor the content and appearance of messages posted. Users agree that neither any posting, nor any JTA moderator/editors associated with their modification, will be held responsible for the content, accuracy, completeness, validity, nor character of any information posted there.
JTA strongly discourages the visible posting of personal email addresses within the body of any message on its site, except where JTA deems it necessary for member service (i.e., email addresses of JTA offices).

Calif. toddler dies after dental procedure
July 20, 2016 -- A 3-year-old girl died July 16 following a procedure at a dental clinic in California, according to a coroner's report.
The child had been treated at the Dentalbliss dental office in San Ramon, CA, according to a SFGate.com story.
The girl was identified as Marvelena Rady of Brentwood, CA, according to the Contra Costa County Coroner's Office.
Paramedics who were called to the office found the girl not breathing, Battalion Chief Dan McNamara, a spokesman for San Ramon Valley Fire, told DrBicuspid.com. She was taken to the San Ramon Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
The Dentalbliss office is operated by Cheri Dang, DDS, DMD, a general practice dentist with a permit to provide general anesthesia, according to Dental Board of California records. Dr. Dang has no record of disciplinary actions.
Dr. Dang did not respond to calls for comment.

Microsoft Windows 2000 server network administration
Ikekhuah
My questions are stated thus:
I want to know if it is possible to have a Windows 2000 server based network comprising of more than one master domain controller co-existing in the same network. If yes, how? And if yes,will a malfunction of any of the servers affect other servers?
A network comprises of one main server using Windows 2000 and 3 member servers running same operating system. If the main server is down, can users in the network still be authenticated?
What is the the most appropriate way to implement security in a server based network running Windows 2000
Is Linux operating system more secure than Windows operating system. If yes, how?

I'll try my best to answer these for you.
1. Yes, you would need two domains though. A lot of management would be involved though.
2. No, because you do not have a Domain controller to cover the Primary Domain Controller when it is down. I would set up another box, run DCPROMO on it and make it a DC, then setup the DC as a secondary DNS server so when the master goes down users can still authenticate. If you are on the same subnet, you may not need DNS but I would set it up anyway. You could also make one of the member servers a DC also.
3/4. Here is a good website on security: SearchSecurity

Question 1 and 2 has been answered quite well, so i'm not going to touch on those. As far as question 3 goes, what kind of security are you talking about? Firewalling connections from the internet, internal file security? If you could elaborate a little more here I feel that I could offer some succinct advice. Question 4 is something that will have a lot of people arguing. It really all comes down to how each operating system is deployed. A windows box can be made secure(ish), where as linux can be made insecure very easily. One nice thing about the Linux distributions (Linux is just the kernel, not an O/S in it's own right) is that you generally have access to the source code and can communicate with the developers directly. This, combined with peer review of code means that patches take less time to come about. Don't kid yourself that security won't be an issue with a linux distro, you just have to know what you are doing.

Dylan The Biography
Bob Dylan is a music hero to generations. He's also an international bestselling artist, a Pulitzer Prize–winning author, and an Oscar winner for "Things Have Changed." His career is stronger and more influential than ever. How did this happen, given the road to oblivion he seemed to choose more than two decades ago? Dylan's 72, and this final act of his career is more int Bob Dylan is a music hero to generations. He's also an international bestselling artist, a Pulitzer Prize–winning author, and an Oscar winner for "Things Have Changed." His career is stronger and more influential than ever. How did this happen, given the road to oblivion he seemed to choose more than two decades ago? Dylan's 72, and this final act of his career is more interesting than ever—yet the classic biographies like Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades (first published 1991, updated 2001) and even his own Chronicles: Volume One (published 2005) came too soon to cover this act. Now this groundbreaking biography digs deep into Bob Dylan lore—including subjects Dylan himself left out of Chronicles: Volume One. Dylan: The Biography moves beyond analysis of lyrics or well-worn biographical facts to focus on why this beloved artist's American odyssey has touched so many souls—and how both Dylan and his audience have changed along the way. What happened during the past two decades to transform a heroin addict into one of the most astonishing literary and musical icons in American history? Through extensive interviews and connections with Dylan's friends, family, sidemen, and fans, Los Angeles Times journalist Dennis McDougal builds a new understanding of Dylan, as well as the real story behind the myths. Was his romantic life, especially with Sara Dylan, much more complicated than it appears? Was his motorcycle accident a cover for drug rehab? What really happened to Dylan when his career fell apart, and how did he find his way back? To what does he attribute his astonishing success? McDougal's interviews and meticulous research offer a revealing new understanding of these older questions—and of the new chapter Dylan is writing in his life and career.

https://msarki.tumblr.com/post/151713... If what Dennis McDougal presents in this biography is in fact true then Bob Dylan is a far different person than the accepted history his celebrity suggests. The tone attached to this appraisal reminds me of a documentary I watched on Hunter S.

If what Dennis McDougal presents in this biography is in fact true then Bob Dylan is a far different person than the accepted history his celebrity suggests. The tone attached to this appraisal reminds me of a documentary I watched on Hunter S. Thompson some time ago that had him admitting on camera that he lost himself in becoming the person his infamous celebrity had made him. This book as well, almost too eagerly at times, attempts to show how Bob Dylan and Robert Zimmerman became two different people. And to illustrate this ever-widening gulf between the two personalities in respect to all that has been already extensively written regarding Dylan's life and music offers a novel opportunity for McDougal to move beyond the incessant analysis of his lyrics and well-worn biographical facts. Though often intuited at times to be a "hit piece" of sorts, the book proved to be an interesting read. And as I neared the last fifth of the book I began to see clearly McDougal's honest fairness presented and redeemed. The publisher's opening blurb asks the question, "What happened during the past two decades to transform a heroin addict into one of the most astonishing literary and musical icons in American history?" I was never aware that Dylan had a heroin addiction, but if true, I am not surprised. And his abusive use of alcohol would explain his erratic behavior both in concert and on the road. I believe I have personally seen him perform to both extremes. But for some reason McDougal seems to have an unhealthy fixation on Dylan's sex life and his discarding use of women. Though he does try, McDougal eventually fails in his attempt to portray Dylan as a buck in heat during rutting season. There is no doubt Dylan enjoyed many sexual opportunities due to his royal celebrity. He is probably the most famous American icon who has ever lived. My guess was a woman having sex with Bob Dylan was much different than a tumble in the hay with Robert Zimmerman. The one time I did express a bit of wonder over all these women falling for such a reported mess, with his bad teeth and tendency towards flight, my wife explained, "He's Bob Dylan. Who wouldn't want to be with Bob Dylan?" There is no doubt the man did learn how to live and thrive in a world in which he constantly remade himself even in routinely risking his possible destruction. His work remains vital in spite of his more than five decades continuing to fan the music's flames. Unlike other long-suffering artists from the sixties, such as the previously amazing Neil Young, Bob Dylan remains an original. And Dennis McDougal makes good use of interviews and available material in which to prove it. I had no idea Bob Dylan was such a real estate mogul. He has countless properties and businesses while remaining silent behind the scenes. Why the man wants as many homes he has is a bit of a conundrum to me, but most likely it is his investment portfolio that directs the management of his financial empire. Hard to imagine Bob Dylan a thriving businessman, but Dennis McDougal diligently follows his winding trail a long way from its humble beginnings on Macdougal Street.

(Won in Goodreads giveaway in return for honest review) This biography of the elusive Mr. Dylan reads like a back-handed compliment: Dylan has maintained his privacy so closely ,especially regarding his wives(yes, there was more than one) and children, and now grandchildren (17..good for you, Bob!),not to mention his lovers, that McDougal has precious little direct commentary from Mr. D. himself.He relies, at least intitally in the bio, on the scathing and /or less-than- kind comments of those wh (Won in Goodreads giveaway in return for honest review) This biography of the elusive Mr. Dylan reads like a back-handed compliment: Dylan has maintained his privacy so closely ,especially regarding his wives(yes, there was more than one) and children, and now grandchildren (17..good for you, Bob!),not to mention his lovers, that McDougal has precious little direct commentary from Mr. D. himself.He relies, at least intitally in the bio, on the scathing and /or less-than- kind comments of those whom Dylan has cast away or pissed off over the decades. He "outs" Bob as inventing stories and wild fantasies presented as truth, which may surprise or disillusion some fans (obsessive Dylanophiles and Dylanologists) but which fit with the essence of Dylan, as those who appreciate his music can attest...he's a poet, an interpreter of dreams, a folklorist, a madman,a besotted lover, a boxer with fate,a hard-shelled turtle,a committed father,a burlesque performer and no less than a snake shedding his skin over seven decades.He has morphed, evolved, grown, exceeded, disappointed,disappeared, re-birthed himself countless times.....so at what point do more shallow, less talented voyeurs deserve his personal goods? "Hey, Bob,put your entire dirty laundry on the line,we wanna creep under your skin?" (One of the most pathetic parts of the bio is the depiction of a stalker who literally for years rooted thru Dylan's garbage,dirty diapers and all, and "diagnosed" his life...the moron was proud of "driving him out of Manhattan due to his obsession.) As derogatory as this bio seems,recounting endless petty grievances and accounts of alleged substance abuse and debauchery, even McDougal can't totally smear the man. In fact, as the years pass and Dylan keeps on keeping on, he manages to include more and more of Dylan's own words. The Never ending Tours (sometimes as many as 120 a year) are testimony to how deeply,unstintingly and richly the artist has given of his vision.Dylan is repeatedly quoted as saying," My religion is the music, it's in the song,that's my spiritual belief system." The reason to read this book is not the personal scoops or tragedies;the reason is because you will want to pull out all your Dylan CDs and go on a listening marathon.The music is the message. And BTW, thanks,Bob.

The guy who forced folk into bed with rock, who donned makeup in the '70s and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse, who emerged to "find Jesus," who was written off as a has-been by the end of the '80s, and who suddenly shifted gears and released some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late '90s. Ladies and gentlemen, Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan!" What is clear from this thoughtful, well-researched biography is that Bob Dylan is a complex man with a complicated life. Even the mega fame he enjoys is complex. Although he has always been revered for the music he created in his 20s, for decades after that, he wasn't connecting with the fans who so admired his early work. The remarkable thing about Dylan is that even though he wasn't connecting, he never gave up. He kept performing and making albums, no matter what the public thought of them. If you're interested in Dylan and the path he's been on for the past 50 plus years, I recommend this book.

I read this book right around the time I started to get back into Bob Dylan and his albums and that really compelled me to read this biography which had just come out at the time.

Covering Bob from the time before he had even donned the name of Bob Dylan back when he was Robert Zimmerman and goes all the way up to his most recent album that came out a few years ago it really has everything you want in the biography. The nitty gritty of his life mixed in with the common misconceptions that go along with the mystique of the man. I especially loved the stuff with his career overlapping with famous bands like The Beatles, who he introduced to weed or The Grateful Dead who he toured with for a little while. The book wanders away from the main narrative line from time to time which is okay once and a while but it happens a bit more near the end when you can tell the author struggled to get more information on Bob after he became a relative shut-in, so the book could have been a little shorter and tighter had he wrapped it up instead of spinning his wheels. Otherwise great book for the Bob Dylan fan, very informative and eye opening to the man, myth and legend.

Ever since I first listened to the Freewheelin' CD, I have said that I LOVE Bob Dylan. After reading this book, I saw that what I loved was Bob Dylan, the artist; not Bob Dylan the person. He's not someone I could even imagine sitting down with for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine--that just wouldn't be a realistic scenario under any bizarre twist of fate.

Kudos to McDougal for a job well done. (Full disclosure: Dennis is a friend and he included a mention of me in the acknowledgements. Honestly, though, if I didn't think this was a fabulous book, I would not have posted any review at all. From me, you'll get four-star or five-star or nothing at all.)

I was not impressed at all... was curious enough to start this hook with an open mind and cast aside and preconceived ideas I had of Mr Dylan (bearing in mind he was before my time so to speak). I found the tone of the book very negative and condescending rather than informative and enlightening. I was searching for why he was such a sensation and how his music affected the generations before mine.

Ruben Van Der Wolf – Aug 06, 2021
Interesting book to get an idea of who Bob Dylan is, for someone who knows almost nothing about him except maybe 1 or 2 hit songs. But this still doesn't really give a good idea of who Bob Dylan actually is. That might be because his life is quite a mystery, but if you're going to write a biography, make sure you get some good insight. This missed a bit of it for me.

Quite a different perspective after finishing Chronicles.... Ha! Mr. Mcdougal covers a lot, lot of territory. While covering basics like where Zimmerman is from, his trip to NYC, girlfriends/wives and the some of the many twists and turns, this is a fairly comprehensive telling of the tale. Some of his inspirations were either old Blues players and even some other Woody devotees. He seems to leave very few rocks unturned.

Amazing that so much is disclosed, given the bard's secrecy, disdain for the press and strong desire for privacy. By all accounts, no one could blame him. I probably learned more than I wanted to know. Almost 80 years, he has sure touched a lot of people, for good or ill. I do regret, though, in a close brush with leaving this world (it happens from time to time), I gave away my entire CD collection. While I reflected on the songs as the story moves along, it might have been nicer to spin tunes as I went.. c'est la vie. Enjoy.

When I read a biography of a musician, I like to listen to their music as I read their story. Dylan: The Biography let me read and listen in an orderly fashion. Sometimes I had to stop reading and just sit there and listen to one of my favorite Dylan albums. But sometimes the album was so weak that I just skipped it. Many of his lesser albums have a good song or two, but not all of them. Mr. McDougal tells the story behind each album. He lets you put the music in perspective. You follow the path that Dylan went down. He tells some interesting tales. He examines how Bob Dylan and Robert Zimmerman became two different people, how Dylan and his people fashioned a public persona and kept control of what was known about his private life. They controlled the media. If an interviewer broached a subject that Dylan didn't want to talk about, he got the look and if he continued along that line, then Dylan would just get up and leave. The interview was over, and most likely the interviewer would never get another chance. So this brings up the question, how much of this book is fact? Has this biography been shaped by Dylan and his people? Much of this book draws on other references, but since they may be suspect, who can ever really know. So this book was a moderately interesting story, maybe fiction mixed in with the fact. It gives a new way of looking at all the Dylan books out there, and throws them all under suspicion. But it still was a fun read for a Dylan fan. It will open up your eyes and make you reexamine what you thought that you knew about Bob Dylan. I give this book 4 Stars out of 5. It was well written and an interesting biography of a famous musician of our time. It shows that Bob Dylan is a poet and a joker, a Jew and a Born-Again Christian, a master story teller and a songwriter, ... but who is Robert Zimmerman?

A good single-volume introduction, but with some occasionally clunky writing. I didn't see any footnotes for some of the more explosive assertions, like repeated insinuations about heroin.

While the gospel period isn't treated with outright disdain, I would have liked a deeper and more respectful examination (hey man, Slow Train Coming is an amazing record!) I can't imagine McDougal taking on a project of this magnitude without really liking Bob's music, but there's a tendency to describe post-1966 work in such a way that you're not really sure if he finds any merit in it. Later on, he kind of trashes everything except for Blood on the Tracks, but at the end of the book it's unclear if Bob is a genius who's wasted his talent or if the last 40 years of work has any merit. Also, the treatment of Rolling Thunder and the Never Ending Tour, along with several later albums, is just plain weird. There's very little about how the music was reconceptualized, you know, like, how it sounded? Why that may be important? What people took away from it? The stuff on Bob's Hibbing days, and continuing connection to the place, is very interesting. I wish it was more clear from the text where information was coming from. Howard Sounes's book was better. Chronicles is dope, of course, but who knows when we'll get Volume 2. This one needs some work.

Imagine a book about Ted Williams written by me, a guy who doesn't know much about baseball. That's what McDougal's biography is like. It's fine, I guess, but there's no there there. He barely talks about the songs and spends more time trying to paint his subject in some kind of edgy dark light--but even that gets old since facts about Bob are about as easy to confirm as facts about the Clintons. And when he does talk about the songs, he does so sparingly. (I can't resist noting that McDougal sa Imagine a book about Ted Williams written by me, a guy who doesn't know much about baseball.

(I can't resist noting that McDougal says this in his passage on Time Out of Mind: "A plea like 'To Make You Feel My Love' summoned sentiment as profoundly as any love song he'd ever written." Really? Is he kidding?) Someone told me that he judges any Bob biography this way: read the passages on the God trilogy and see how he tackles it. McDougal does fine with this, but, like so much else, it's milquetoast. Better to read (or reread) Ian Bell's 2-volume biography, which I can't imagine being surpassed and features one perfect sentence after another. I couldn't wait to pick those up every day. This one I finished just to finish.

That being said, I really enjoyed this book, and it was a good thing to read because it took me out of my fiction 'comfort zone'.

The sources for pretty much the whole book are previous biographies, but it seems to me that the author did his homework, and at least from my point of view provided an enjoyable read the covered Dylan's life in an enjoyable way. I know I enjoyed it, and I think that most any Dylan fan would as well.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I am not really a big fan of Dylan. I found the writing style hard to follow. I fealt it read like a history book rather than a biography about Bob Dylan. The author wrote more about the events surrounding BoB Dylans life (political events, other musical acts, etc,) than actually writing about Bob Dylans life.

This is a good addition to the canon of Dylan literature. McDougal provides a more balanced view of Dylan as a public and private man - including a candid view of his personal affairs and addictions, which had impact on his art. Overall, a solid read for those interested in a deeper dive into Bob Dylan history.

For the first time since moving to Billings, we decided to attend the Holiday Parade. Part of our motivation was to help out with the church as they have a float and also give out hot chocolate and cookies to passers by, as the church is right on the way to the parade.
We got there in time to help set up a table and chairs and bring out some cookies. Maggie even helped taste-test a few and stated they were good. Once the crowds started coming through, Maggie decided she wanted to help pass out candy canes. She was very polite and asked people as they passed "Excuse me, would you like a candy cane?" She took the first few rejections a little personally, but was soon handing them out like a pro! At one point, she told me "I'm serving the church!" Get them while they are young!
A little bit before the parade started, we headed to find a good spot to watch from. Maggie got the best seat, on Daddy's shoulders. We saw lots of Boy Scouts and even saw cousins Terry, Christy and Ethan on a Boy Scout float. Once the church van passed and Maggie got a candy cane from Miles, she was ready to go. We saw about 20 minutes of the parade, which was about enough for all of us! We did have a lot of fun and will help out next year as well.

Le château des Princes de Croÿ est situé sur le point culminant du petit plateau entre Senne et Haine que forme l'assiette de la ville belge du Rœulx et de l'abbaye Saint-Feuillien. Il fait partie du patrimoine majeur de Wallonie. Avec son domaine, ils sont la propriété de la Maison de Croÿ depuis près de 600 ans.

Histoire
L'histoire du château débute en 1433 lorsque Jacqueline de Bavière, comtesse de Hainaut, donne à Antoine de Croÿ, grand chambellan de Philippe le Bon, « toute la terre, ville, justice, seigneurie, pairie et appartenance ». Quelques jours plus tard, Philippe le Bon confirme la donation.

D'illustres personnages y ont séjourné tels que Charles Quint, Marie de Médicis et les ducs de Bourgogne, Philippe le Bon et Charles le Téméraire. Le prince d'Orange Guillaume II des Pays-Bas et le duc de Wellington y tinrent un conseil de guerre quelques jours avant la bataille de Waterloo.

Reconnaissance patrimoniale
Le château a été classé en 1963. L'orangerie, les façades et les toitures des communs sont, quant à elles, classées depuis 1981. L'ensemble figure depuis 2009 parmi les monuments à caractère remarquable, dans la liste du patrimoine immobilier exceptionnel de la Région wallonne.

Description

La façade et l'aspect extérieur

L'édifice actuel est construit sur les fondations rectangulaires de l'ancienne forteresse du . Les deux ailes ajoutées au  sont en équerre.

Parlant de l'aspect extérieur du château, François Bouquiaux explique : L'ensemble et la base fortifiée du château sont très anciens. Ils remontent aux , ainsi qu'en témoignent l'épaisseur des murs et l'appareil des maçonneries de pierre des tours subsistantes. La façade par contre fut entièrement remaniée au , entre 1713 et 1760, tandis que les deux ailes latérales furent en partie ajoutées ou prolongées en les rendant agréablement habitables. Ces travaux comportèrent en outre le revêtement en briques de la façade qui était en pierres irrégulières et ce, afin d'assurer l'unité de l'ensemble et de se conformer au goût de l'époque.

Deux rampes d'accès mènent à la porte principale.

Le château comporte un rez-de-chaussée rehaussé de deux étages couverts par une toiture à la Mansart. Le hall d'entrée est marqué en façade principale par trois travées de deux niveaux de baies à imposte en plein cintre, surmontées d'un fronton triangulaire dont le tympan est d'une seule pierre sculptée représentant les armoiries de la famille de Croÿ-Rœulx. Ces travées sont légèrement saillantes sur la façade, surmontées d'un attique avec pots-au-feu et coiffées d'une couverture en cloche évasée, amortie par la couronne placée en 1924 en remplacement de l'ancienne couronne endommagée. Le porche d'entrée est surmonté d'un balcon orné d'une balustrade en fer forgé : ferronnerie particulièrement attrayante offerte par Louis XIV au Maréchal duc de Croÿ. Les baies de la façade principale et ses avant-corps courbes sont garnies de piédroits monolithes en pierre bleue avec linteaux débardés à clé. Les ailes latérales ont leurs baies garnies de piédroits en briques et pierres alternées comme leurs linteaux. Les menuiseries de fermeture des baies sont en bois peint à croisillons et petits bois.

L'intérieur
Le hall d'entrée n'a plus été transformé depuis 1452, gardant son cachet d'ancienne salle de gardes. La cheminée de ce grand vestibule d'entrée comporte un manteau avec la devise de la famille : « Plus en sera de Croÿ ». Après le corridor et l'antichambre voûtés la même année, on débouche sur une vaste cuisine et sa vieille cheminée dont le manteau est de six mètres de long reposant sur des pilastres. Le mur extérieur mesure plus de deux mètres. La grande salle à manger qui suit est pareillement de 1452. Le salon ovale possède un mobilier Style Louis XV. La dernière pièce est le salon chinois une pièce étroite où l'on conserve un meuble en laque de Coromandel, différents objets chinois, indiens et birmans.

Après le hall d'entrée, un escalier d'honneur en chêne conduit au grand salon en passant par la chapelle baroque située au premier palier et précédant le développement de l'escalier en fer-à-cheval. Le grand salon, dit la grande salle, est une vaste pièce en forme de rectangle éclairée du côté du parc par deux fenêtres et la porte de la chapelle, donnant sur le balcon. Puis vient le billard, une dernière chambre avec un décor de haute qualité et le local annexe qui est en réalité une garde-robe et un cabinet de toilette avec une grande unité dans son décor. Il y a encore une orangerie. À la suite de la découverte de mérule, d'importants travaux de restauration ont été entrepris par la Région wallonne.

Le parc
Le parc de 45 hectares, qui comporte deux étangs, est un des plus remarquables ensembles dendrologiques de Belgique. Il compte quelques essences rares, comme :
 un ginkgo biloba,
 quelques érables sycomores,
 des chênes pédonculés,
 trois séquoias géants,
 des tulipiers,
 un cèdre du Liban,
 un copalme d'Amérique,
 des tilleuls à grandes feuilles,
 des platanes d'Orient,
 un érable negundo,
 un cèdre de l'Atlas, et
 le plus haut feuillu du royaume de Belgique : un frêne de 46 m.

René Pechère, le paysagiste belge, dessina les plans et participa activement à la réalisation d'une roseraie en 1961.

Dans ce parc subsistent quelques vestiges de l'abbaye Saint-Feuillien, fondée en 1125.

Adam Silver honors Kobe Bryant, David Stern and looks to get NBA back in China

CHICAGO — The NBA and USA Basketball are still considering playing in China later this year, though the complexities of both the political rift caused by a tweet last fall and the ongoing health concerns in the world's most populous country are making those plans seem decidedly uncertain.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the discussions in both cases — pre-Olympic games for USA Basketball and the preseason games for the NBA — are ongoing, and said the decisions are not necessarily linked. It's possible the U.S. may play there this summer and the NBA does not send teams this fall, Silver said.
"Those are issues that haven't been decided yet," Silver said Saturday night at his annual All-Star weekend news conference.
Things are not back to normal for the league when it comes to relations with China. The strain started Oct. 4, when Houston general manager Daryl Morey tweeted an image that read "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong," referencing several months of pro-democracy demonstrations in the semiautonomous Chinese territory.
The tweet wasn't up for long. The fallout was massive and continues. A pair of preseason games between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers in China were played days after Morey's tweet, though without the support of several sponsors and with both teams playing in silence — none of the customary pre- and post-game media availabilities were held. The Chinese Basketball Association suspended its relationship with the Rockets, Chinese media giant Tencent and Chinese state television pulled some NBA broadcasts and Silver said the NBA quickly began experiencing significant financial losses.

Silver said it's possible the NBA could lose as much as $400 million in revenue this year because of hits to the China market.
"Our games have not returned to CCTV, the government broadcaster," Silver said. "My sense is they will at some point in the future. We are not pressing them. It's a decision that is outside of certainly our control and I'm often not even sure where that decision lies."
The NBA and Chinese officials have been talking, or at least were talking until much of the Chinese resources were redirected toward dealing with COVID-19, a disease stemming from a new form of coronavirus.
Basketball, understandably, has been pushed aside while the Chinese deal with a massive crisis.
"This game of basketball is a huge game, and I've been blessed and fortunate enough to travel to China a number of times," All-Star Chris Paul of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who also is president of the National Basketball Players Association, said on Saturday. "A friend of mine, Pooh Jeter, plays over in China, and I actually wrote 'Wuhan' on my shoes the other night in a game in New Orleans. (But) this isn't just a Wuhan problem. It's an everyone problem."
Wuhan is the city at the center of the outbreak. China's government suspended most access to Wuhan on Jan. 23. Restrictions have expanded to cities with a total of 60 million people in the broadest anti-disease measures ever imposed. Restaurants, shops and other businesses nationwide were ordered to close.
Through Friday, China reported a total of 66,492 cases of the virus, officially saying it was responsible for 1,523 deaths. Japan -- which will play host to this summer's Tokyo Olympics -- reported about 259 cases through Friday, with one death.
International competitions in at least 14 different sports have been affected by the virus and the resultant concerns. Tokyo Olympic organizers and the International Olympic Committee have insisted that there are no plans to cancel or relocate the games.
"It's impossible to predict which direction this epidemic will take," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the World Health Organization.
It also makes it impossible to predict when matters between the NBA and China return to normal.
In other matters Silver addressed Saturday:
Kobe award
The NBA is immediately renaming the All-Star MVP trophy in honor of Kobe Bryant, the 18-time All-Star who — along with his daughter Gianna and seven others — died in a helicopter crash in Southern California last month.
All-Star weekend has taken on a somber tone this year, largely because of multiple tributes for Bryant and NBA Commissioner Emeritus David Stern, who died Jan. 1.
"I know it will be especially meaningful to that player that wins the first Kobe Bryant MVP," Silver said. "So I'm sure there will be other honors as well, and as I mentioned, there are other things that we will be discussing with our board, the NBA board, when they meet in April to honor David. But this one seems so appropriate here at All-Star because nobody embodied All-Star more than Kobe Bryant."
Silver said he remains optimistic that schedule changes he has wanted — including an in-season tournament — are viable possibilities.
The NBA was targeting adding such a tournament in 2021-22, the league's 75th anniversary year. But plans for an April vote on such a change were tabled weeks ago, and the timetable is uncertain.
"I may have been a little naive in thinking that for the 75th anniversary, we could say let's make all these changes," Silver said. "We'll sort of see what happens in the 75th anniversary, and we'll go from there."
All-Stars polled by The Associated Press earlier Saturday about the potential of schedule changes were largely supportive of the notion, though the majority also said they do not know enough about the plans to have a strong opinion.
"I don't know. I mean our season is already long," said Portland guard Damian Lillard, who is missing the All-Star Game with an injury. "I think if we're playing for something that would count, I can see it being OK, but there's a price for everything."

The Ottawa Senators are pretty much packing it in. They've already made multiple trades and haven't gotten much in return, instead stripping the team of contracts. The Bruins will look to build upon last night's 6-3 win over the Islanders and get some separation in the Northeast division.
The Senators are just one point away from being tied for the worst record in the NHL and with their fire sale continuing, they are due to be the worst team in the league by seasons end. Clearly, this must be effecting the remaining players morale. If there is ever a time for the Bruins to jump on a wounded team, it's now. The Senators are 1-7-2 in their last 10 and now they have to fill out the roster with AHL call-ups. The Senators have also lost 15 of their last 17 at home.
Tim Thomas is expected to get the start tonight in the back end of back-to-back games. The Senators traded Brian Elliott this morning for Craig Anderson, so it is somewhat unclear if Anderson will make it to Ottawa eight hours from the drop of the puck. Also, Chris Kelly, who had visa issues prevent him from playing last night, will play his first game as a Bruin against his former team. At least he knows how to get to the arena.

What chord does cat play?
Although Cat plays a D chord, he sings a C note, so I've gone with a D7 it sounds better with the melody and as a transition from the Am to the G. He plays Cmaj7 with a G bass without really emphasising it, but the bassist plays a B note. Cat plays a Dm on guitar, but the piano part suggests a subtler Dm7 phrase.
What happened to Stevens' 'Wild World'?
While there is much speculation that Stevens wrote "Wild World" about his split with Patti D'Arbanville, he explained on The Chris Isaak Hour in 2009 that the actual inspiration for the song was his return to a career in music after nearly dying from a collapsed lung due to tuberculosis in 1969.
Who has covered Wild World?
Many artists have covered "Wild World" aside from Cliff. The most successful versions were by English reggae singer Maxi Priest (who took it into the top 30 in several countries) and the American rock band Mr. Big (who had a top 40 hit with it in over a dozen countries). What have the artists said about the song?

Hungary Bans Gender Studies Because It Is 'An Ideology Not A Science'
Pamela Geller November 20, 2018
Finally. Someone with stones and title said it. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been consistently brave and uniquely singular in stating the obvious and for this, he is scorned, derided and smeared (much like President Trump).
But he is right.
Academia all over the West has become politicized and serves a far-left agenda.
Orban is standing for the truth and reality.
"Hungary bans gender studies because it is 'an ideology not a science,'" by Caleb Parke, Fox News, October 17, 2018 (thanks to Christian):
Hungary's populist government has banned gender studies degrees citing low enrollment numbers that waste taxpayer money and because it is "an ideology not a science."
Left-wing critics say it's academically problematic, politically unheard of in a democratic society, and argue gender studies degrees do lead to jobs.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been called the Donald Trump of Europe, signed the decree, which went into effect Saturday, removing gender studies from a list of approved master's programs, though students already enrolled will be grandfathered in.
"The Hungarian government is of the clear view that people are born either men or women," Orban's chief of staff said in August. "They lead their lives the way they think best, but beyond this, the Hungarian state does not wish to spend public funds on education in this area."
Central European University blasted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's decree banning gender studies degrees as "a major infringement on academic freedom and university autonomy."
Central European University (CEU), founded by Hungarian-American liberal billionaire George Soros and one of two universities in the country that teaches gender studies, blasted the decree as "a significant loss to the Hungarian scholarly community and for democratically-minded public policymakers."…
Editor's Note: And if you disagree, just trying sitting through this utter rubbish from college students trying to fight their way past their Creator, logic, biology, science and reason. Seriously, listening to nails on a chalkboard is almost preferable.

56 GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT 12.18 With penalty areas potentially requiring that more lines be painted on the course, su - perintendents may want to consider using an alternative to aerosol paint cans for marking lines. Using a backpack applicator to apply paint in bulk may allow for savings in paint. Furthermore, including a growth regulator with paint in the backpack applicator can ex - tend the period of time that the penalty area lines are visible up to two weeks longer than using paint in an aerosol can (see "Mowing heights and the Rules of Golf " on Page 78 of the June 2016 issue of GCM). Several other Rules changes are related to the condition of the golf course, and the su - perintendent should be aware of them. For ex- ample: • Loose impediments can now be removed by the golfer before playing a stroke in a pen - alty area or bunker. • When a golfer searches for a ball and acci - dentally moves it, there is no penalty, and it can be replaced. • Spike marks and other irregularities on the green can be repaired before putting. • e flagstick can be left in the hole, and there is no penalty if a putted ball strikes the flagstick. Finally, there is now a local rule avail - able that, when in place, avoids the stroke- and-distance procedure for golfers who lose a ball after striking it off the tee or hit it out of bounds. is, too, is an effort to speed up play. Briefly, the golfer finds a spot on the edge of the fairway equidistant to the flagstick from where the ball was believed to be lost or crossed the out-of-bounds line, drops the ball in the fairway at that point and adds two pen - alty strokes before playing the next shot. As a superintendent, you manage the play - ing area for the game. As such, you should be aware of the Rules that the players are required to follow. I recommend you visit www.usga. org/rules to learn more about the new Rules of Golf. Better yet, there's an app for this — download the USGA's Official Rules of Golf through iTunes or Google Play. Jack Fry, Ph.D., is a professor of turfgrass science and the director of the Rocky Ford Turfgrass Research Center at Kansas State University in Manhattan. He is a 22-year educator member of GCSAA. Brave new world for the Rules of Golf Jack Fry, Ph.D. jfry@ksu.edu (through the green) At midnight on Dec. 31, while you wel- come in 2019, the newly overhauled Rules of Golf will officially take effect, ushering in a new era for the game. For me, that means I'll watch the ball drop in Times Square on TV at 11 p.m. (Central time) and then roll over and go to sleep. In 2017, the USGA and R&A proposed an overhaul to the Rules of Golf in an effort to simplify them. I outlined some of the pro - posed changes last year in the pages of GCM (see "A new look for the Rules of Golf " on Page 74 of the June 2017 issue, and "A new look for the Rules of Golf, part two" on Page 64 of the August 2017 issue). For superintendents, the most significant of these changes is that water hazards no lon - ger exist. Well, at least they have a new name — water hazards will now be referred to as "penalty areas." Just as we used to mark water hazards (yellow stakes and/or paint) and lat - eral water hazards (red stakes and/or paint), penalty areas are marked yellow or red, as well. Ultimately, those who handle marking the golf course have the option of treating these areas just as they have in the past or doing things a bit differently. In the past, water haz - ards and lateral water hazards could only be marked in areas where water was present, or at least areas that periodically contained water. e difference now is that penalty areas can be extended to areas that don't include water. For example, a tall grassy area, a forested area or a desert might be marked as a penalty area. is means that golf courses can be more lib - eral with the areas that they mark. Let's hypothetically say there's a forested area on the left side of a par 4 with a dogleg left. Drives from the tee commonly end up in this area, which results in slowing of play due to golfers searching for their ball. is could be an area that a course committee may now consider marking as a red penalty area, which would allow golfers to proceed as they do now with a lateral water hazard. is would eliminate the requirement for playing a provisional ball, going back to the tee if a provisional ball weren't played, or searching for the ball. e superintendent should have input on new areas of the golf course that are proposed penalty areas, as this will ultimately require more labor, stakes and paint to keep these areas marked. At midnight on Dec. 31, while you welcome in 2019, the newly overhauled Rules of Golf will officially take effect, ushering in a new era for the game.
