A girl frozen in time and the boy who ran away…
SHE wanted to be frozen after her death, he just wanted to disappear because he was bored with his life.
The wishes of two teenagers are much reported on today. The more prominent case involves a dying 14-year-old girl who wanted her body preserved in the hope of a cure in the future. It has been revealed that the girl won an historic legal fight shortly before her death from a rare form of cancer in October.
She was supported in her wish to be cryogenically preserved by her mother, but not by her father, with whom she had little contact.
A High Court judge visited the girl in hospital and later ruled that her mother should be allowed to decide. Following her death, the girl's wishes were granted and her body was taken to the US to be preserved.
The teenager, who cannot be named, lived in the London area and used the internet to investigate having her body frozen after her death, in the hope of a future cure. It is reported that her grandparents paid the estimated £37,000 cost of the process.
The judge asked the girl to explain in a letter why she wanted "this unusual thing done". It is certainly unusual, and you can't help but worry that the whole process is some sort of pseudo-science scam mostly designed to extract money from the wealthy and gullible.
However, we should let the girl speak for herself. She was not someone old perhaps greedily wanting more of life. No, she was young and had not yet had much in the way of years, and this adds a tragic dimension to her wishes.
Here is some of what she wrote: "I am only 14 years old and I don't want to die but I know I am going to die.
"I think being cryopreserved gives me a chance to be cured and woken up – even in hundreds of years' time. I don't want to be buried underground. I want to live and live longer and I think that in the future they may find a cure for my cancer and wake me up.
"I want to have this chance. This is my wish."
As you can see, her thoughts are clearly and simply expressed, and it is hard not to be moved by her faith that science may find a way to bring her back from the dead, as it were. Unsurprisingly, the headlines in today's newspapers cannot escape a lurid coating: "Dead girl, 14, frozen so she can live again"; "Girl wins right to return from the dead"; "The frozen girl", and so on.
The human dimensions of this case are complex, worrying and heart-wrenching. What must her disunited parents now feel about their daughter? If this unlikely miracle could be brought off, would she awake in a 100 years' times, 200 years' time, to a changed world in which she knew no one and understood little?
It's like a science-fiction version of the Moral Maze, that tedious BBC Radio 4 programme in which assorted talking heads become righteously cross with each other.
In a sense, this girl will live on in her story and in her words. The granting of her dying wishes confers on her a sort of immortality. It is hard not to be moved by someone so young having to face up to what awaits us all – even if mostly we pretend otherwise.
Life is a denial of death, and so long as someone keeps on living, so long as life continues after us, you could say that life wins over death in the end.
Arthur Heeler-Frood finds himself in the headlines for different reasons. The sixth-former from Devon disappeared after posting a letter to his parents saying that he was "bored with his life". Boredom is not unusual among teenagers. Being bored can teach you that you should be doing something, so in that sense can be creative; adults tend to regard being bored as a waste of time, but teenagers – or the fortunate ones – have a lot of it to waste, and there is a sort of muggy deliciousness to teenage boredom, at least in memory.
Anyway, Arthur wanted an adventure, and for him that entailed sleeping rough for ten weeks in London, Birmingham and Manchester. In that letter to his parents, he said he would see them in a year. His holiday away from his life didn't last that long, but you can't help feeling that Arthur has something about him.
Most teenagers would just talk about bunking off or whatever the favoured term of the moment might be. Arthur didn't just talk, he did it. And that shows a certain, perhaps perverse, initiative.
The few teenage atoms still skittering around inside my ageing self rather admire Arthur; the father in me worries what his poor parents must have been going through.
But I can't help feeling that we will hear from Arthur again when he is older; whether the same can be said for the 'frozen girl' is another matter.

BeIN Sports ties down NBA in French broadcast agreement
The National Basketball Association (NBA) will remain on BeIN Sports after the pay-television broadcaster renewed its French rights deal with the league.
Under the terms of the agreement, which runs until 2024, BeIN will carry 20 weekend primetime games during the first half of the 2020/21 season. This includes five games from the annual Christmas showcase, along with the NBA Playoffs, the NBA Finals and the NBA Draft.
The new season begins on 22 December with Golden State Warriors clash against Brooklyn Nets to be the first game to air on BeIN Sports.
BeIN Chief Executive, Yousef Al-Obaidly, said: "We are delighted to extend our valued partnership with the NBA in France to 2024. This new deal perfectly illustrates our balanced approach when selecting content and acquiring rights, in line with our clear and rational business plan."
BeIN Sports 1, which has been associated with the NBA since 2012, will continue to offer the NBA Xtra Daily show, which is scheduled for every weekday afternoon.
In addition, the Qatar-based broadcaster will continue to run the NBA's official website in France, to keep French viewers up to date with scores, statistics, latest news and highlights.
Al-Obaidly continued: "This latest NBA deal further strengthens the fantastic portfolio of rights we will showcase on BeIN Sports France over the next 12 months, including Euro 2020, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Wimbledon, NFL, handball, rugby and much more, together with the UEFA Champions League from 2021/22 onwards."
Last week, the BeIN Media Group extended its Middle East and North Africa (MENA) rights deal with the Premier League and continues to lock down fresh deals with its existing broadcast partners ahead of the new campaign.

George Arliss (født 10. april 1868, død 5. februar 1946) var en engelsk skuespiller, forfatter, dramatiker og filmskaber, der fandt succes i USA. Han var den første britiske skuespiller til at vinde en Oscar, samt at det er den tidligste-fødte skuespiller at vinde en.

Arliss begyndte sin karriere som skuespiller i britisk teater i 1887. I 1900 optrådte han på West End i London med flere biroller. Arliss rejste til USA i 1901 og boede i Nordamerika i tyve år. Arliss begyndte sin filmkarriere i USA med filmen The Devil (1921), efterfulgt af Disraeli og fire andre stumfilm, før han begyndte med tonefilm.

Arliss optrådte ofte op med sin kone, Florence Arliss (1871-1950), som han var gift fra den 16. september 1899 til sin død. De havde ingen børn, men Leslie Arliss, som var en berømt producent og instruktør har gentagne gange blevet fejlagtigt omtalt som søn af Arliss i nogle opslagsværker. Parret var i London i 1939, og udbruddet af 2. Verdenskrig forhindrede deres tilbagevenden til Nordamerika.

Arliss har en stjerne på Hollywood Walk of Fame, placeret på 6648 Hollywood Boulevard.

Marcello Piacentini (* 8. Dezember 1881 in Rom; † 19. Mai 1960 in Rom) war ein italienischer Architekt, der während des faschistischen Regimes zum ersten "Staatsarchitekten" Mussolinis avancierte. Im deutlichen Unterschied jedoch zu Albert Speer und dessen herausragender Position als Architekt Hitlers im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland wurde Piacentini nicht mit Vollmachten oder Sonderrechten ausgestattet.

Leben
Schon sein Vater, Pio Piacentini (1846–1928), war ein bekannter Architekt und Vertreter des römischen Eklektizismus. Im väterlichen Architekturbüro sammelte Marcello Piacentini erste Erfahrungen, so etwa beim gemeinsamen Entwurf für die Nationalbibliothek von Florenz (1903–1906) im Stile der Neorenaissance.

Piacentinis Baustil in den 1930er Jahren zeichnet sich durch einen eklektizistischen Neomonumentalismus aus, der positiv besetzte Bausteine einer vergangenen Zeit in die Gegenwart zu übertragen sucht, indem er klassische Säulen zu Vierkantpfeilern (ohne Basis und Kapitell) und Arkaden zu scharfkantigen, profillosen Kolonnaden werden lässt und dabei den menschlichen Maßstab als Bezugsgröße bewusst ausblendet. Ihm geht es vielmehr darum, eine diktatorische Macht durch sein Formenvokabular zu legitimieren und in Überdimension zu repräsentieren.

Der Höhepunkt seiner Karriere fällt in die Zeit des Faschismus: Um 1933/1934 ist Piacentinis Position als Architekt bereits beispiellos. Er ist Vorsitzender des Obersten Rats der öffentlichen Bauten, Mitglied der italienischen Akademie, Berufsverbandspräsident, Chef der Obersten Kommission der Schönen Künste, Direktor der Architektur- und Ingenieurfakultät der Universität Rom und Chefredakteur der größten italienischen Fachzeitschrift Architettura. Seine Führungsrolle erlaubt ihm auch die Vermittlung von Aufträgen und das Herbeiführen von Kompromissen seitens fast aller rationalistischer Architekten, die er zu einer Mitarbeit verpflichten konnte. Ein Spiel mit klar verteilten Rollen, denn gerade die Vertreter des Razionalismo waren bestrebt, nach langem Warten endlich an wichtige Bauaufträge zu kommen.

Bei der für Piacentini wichtigen Planung der Città Universitaria in Rom (1932–1935), für die er das streng axiale, mit Travertin verkleidete Rektoratsgebäude baut, besetzt er mit feinem Kalkül eine Mittlerrolle: Mit der Einbindung rationalistischer Architekten wie Giuseppe Pagano oder Giovanni Michelucci in das Projekt leitet er geschickt den Gleichschaltungs- und Verschmelzungsprozess der italienischen Architektur ein. Nur unter seiner Regie ergab sich für die beteiligten Architekten des Razionalismo die Chance auf eine Realisierung. Die bedeutungsvolle Verbindung von Architektur und Macht hatte sich Piacentini sehr schnell vergegenwärtigt. Sein Verhandlungsgeschick und seine zunehmend gefestigte Position trugen entscheidend dazu bei, die Vormachtstellung der von ihm angeführten Gruppe der "Scuola Romana" zu forcieren.

Seine Werke finden sich in ganz Italien, vor allem aber in Rom, wo er als einflussreichster Architekt der faschistischen Epoche das Bild der Stadt durch einen reduzierten Neoklassizismus wesentlich prägte. Vor allem seine städtebaulichen Planungen, die bis heute noch in der italienischen Hauptstadt zu erkennen sind, sind von Bedeutung. Durch die Heroisierung antiker Bauten als Verweis auf die ewige Stadt und deren großer Geschichte wurden zahlreiche historische Bauten durch die Zerstörung benachbarter Gebäude räumlich freigestellt. Auch das Projekt der Via della Conciliazione (1934/1950) verfolgte mit der Freilegung der Zugangsstraße zur Peterskirche dieses städtebauliche Prinzip.

Piacentinis städtebauliches Hauptwerk ist der Generalplan für das Weltausstellungsgelände E42 in Rom. Exakt an der Stelle, wo Piacentini für Benito Mussolini den "Altar der Neuen Ordnung" am Ende einer gigantischen Straßenachse platzieren wollte, entstand zu den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1960 in Rom der gläserne Rundbau des Palazzo dello Sport von Pier Luigi Nervi.

Publizistische Tätigkeit
Im Mai 1921 gründete Piacentini gemeinsam mit Gustavo Giovannoni die Zeitschrift Architettura e Arti decorative, die mit der Ausgabe September–Oktober 1927 zum offiziellen Organ des Nationalen Faschistischen Architektenverbandes wurde. Mit der Dezemberausgabe von 1931 erschien diese Zeitschrift zum letzten Mal und wurde ab 1932 durch Architettura ersetzt. Hier übernahm Marcello Piacentini bis zur letzten Ausgabe im Dezember 1942 die Chefredaktion. Auch bei der darauf folgenden Zeitschrift Architettura, Rassegna di Architettura, die von Januar 1943 bis April 1944 erschien, hatte Piacentini als Herausgeber eine wichtige Position inne.

Days turn cold through my window onto the Suicide Cemetery, in all its unfinished fascination. I take down more Dhalgrens and fashion for myself a hat, scarf, and gloves. The left glove is snug out by the ends of the fingers, chafing with that Thinsulate tingle (sewn, as it is, from the part known as The Anathemata: a plague journal), but, determining myself capable of overlooking minor discomfort, I suit up and am soon ready to go.
It's been long enough indoors. A stroll around the still-unfinal plots of the Suicide Cemetery should do me well. Plus, I'm curious to talk to the proprietor about his apportioning scheme and maybe (or maybe not, who knows?) make his acquaintance more generally.
I attempt to cross the street across which lies the Suicide Cemetery fence, but, like the horizon when you're trying to swim somewhere, it turns out to be farther than it'd looked.
So now I'm on what may be more of a hike. I tie my shoes tighter.
After a period of waving grass and occasional boulders, I find myself in a clearing ringed with rock piles. They're too far away to make out clearly, and look fairly crude, but I can tell they're manmade, monuments or markers.
There are others, heads wrapped in shrouds and faces down, hugging themselves tightly around the bottoms of their ribs, walking in loose, private circles.
They circle a center defined by two large creatures, similar to one another but not of the same species. Both resemble giant horses, between thirty and forty feet tall, and eighty or ninety long, from head to tail. One has tusks, like an estranged relative of the mastodon, while the other's head is lost in a mane long and full as a weeping willow, hanging to the ground.
As the shrouded and murmuring faithful trace their wide arcs around this center (remaining always between the creatures and the rock piles, beyond which lies naked steppe), the creatures brush up against one another, stare into each other's eyes, and then retreat, an air of sadness, or of disappointment, hanging hugely down from them.
It occurs to me, as I stand at a safe distance and behold them, that they are ruminating on the impossibility of interbreeding. I can tell this with a certainty that reveals a change in state that I hadn't, until now, perceived in myself. Like two mules of different provenances, the species-pull between them is great, but not as great as the reality that there is nowhere left for it to go. They paw the ground, sniffing and snorting, and then turn, lumber away, and then repeat.
The faithful continue their prayer-loops, mouths working constantly on syllables that hover well beneath the semantic sphere.
I breathe out, and out, and out, spitting out my mind until it's empty.
Then I fall in step, tracing this same circle around the beasts, aware suddenly (and utterly, as if I'd always been aware) that this is the antechamber to the Suicide Cemetery, invisible from my room's window through some mere trick of the visual plane.
Into me come syllables, and I mouth them.
The Greek Faulkner. The Faulkner who wrote a 10,000-page novel and nothing else. The Yankee Faulkner. The Lady Faulkner. The Faulkner still to come. The Faulkner who renounced Faulkner to become Dante. The Hebrew Faulkner. The Faulkner who sold his name to the highest bidder. The Faulkner who ate his children to become a god. The Faulkner who refused his calling and attempted another. The Faulkner who produced his masterpiece by age nineteen and died of typhoid in Africa. The reanimated Faulkner, walking among us. The Chinese Faulkner. The Oulipo Faulkner. The Faulkner who didn't appreciate the mysteries of race. The fossil Faulkner, whose bones were read and transcribed by German archeologists. The Faulkner whose works were melted down into The Book of Blood and added to the Apocrypha, following Esther. The Twitter-quip Faulkner. The Faulkner who wasn't all that good. The Faulkner who told it funny, like Beck. The millennial curse Faulkner, whose words infect all those who behold them. The cold, cold reptile Faulkner. The paid-by-the-word Faulkner. The Faulkner who wrote for God alone (and whom God alone has read). The disembodied, possibly nonexistent Faulkner, whispering up from a pit. The joke Faulkner, trotted out for little kids at county fairs. The pure math Faulkner, conjured only by rare and fearsome derivatives. The revenant Faulkner, shut away in the attic of a condemned mansion, pushing hand-written scraps under the door for a lumbering half-wit Keeper to gather up and bear away.
Speaking makes them so. I see them all, heads-shrouded, murmuring incantations of their own, circling the infertile beasts, around and around, all day long.

I Must Be Living Twice: New and Selected Poems
Author: Eileen Myles
Publisher: Serpent's Tail
A collection of thrilling verse, including both new poems and beloved favourites, from the celebrated poet, modern cult icon, and author of nineteen books including Chelsea Girls. Eileen Myles' work is known for its blend of reality and fiction, the sublime and the ephemeral. At once intimate and open-hearted, her poems are a raw, complex and compelling diary of postmodern life and invite readers into astonishing new considerations of familiar settings, from the beginnings and ends of love and the imperatives of sexual desire, to the daily wonder of a poet's life in New York City and beyond - into lush-and sometimes horrible-dream worlds, imbuing the landscapes of her writing with the vividness and energy of fantasy.
I Must Be Living Twice reflects Myles' sardonic, unapologetic, and freewheeling literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York City, I Must Be Living Twice is a prism refracting a radical world and a compelling life.

Q: How to combine two types of C# lists into one? I have created two lists say X & Y. These two lists are of different types.
(ie List<class_A> X & List<class_B> Y).
Values in both these lists are different. But there is a DateTime field in both these lists.
I need to sort these lists according to the date field.
I have separate functions to print the details of list A and List B.
Suppose the sorted list looks like

*

*tuple from list A,

*tuple from list B,

*tuple from list A,

*tuple from list B,

My purpose is to loop through this list and call the appropriate function to display the details. ie if the tuple is from list A then call the function for printing list A's details and vice versa.

A: If you make your Class A and Class B based upon a Base class, you can make them derive your DateTime property from Base class.
eg:
public class BaseClass
{
    public DateTime date {get; set; }
}

public class ClassA : BaseClass
{
    //... some other property's
}

public class ClassB : BaseClass
{
    //... some other property's
}

in your code:
List<BaseClass> a = new List<ClassA>();
List<BaseClass> b = new List<ClassB>();

And becose ClassA and ClassB are based upon BaseClass, they will have the same date property.

A: You could make a simple interface for the 2 classes you have:
public interface interfaceA {
   DateTime TimeStamp { get;set; }
}

And make sure both your classes implement that interface:
public class class_A : interfaceA {
    public DateTime TimeStamp { get; set; }
    //... Other properties
}

public class class_B : interfaceA {
    public DateTime TimeStamp { get; set; }
    //... Other properties
}

in your main function/method you create a new List that contains both object types and populate it - instead of filling one of your 2 lists you just fill this one list:
var myList = new List<interfaceA>();
var object = new class_A() { TimeStamp = DateTime.Now };
myList.Add(object);

And then sort it:
 myList.Sort((a, b) => a.TimeStamp.CompareTo(b.TimeStamp))

I think something like this should work

A: No need to create new interfaces or classes. You can just loop over both lists at  the same time and track the most recent date.
public class TypeA
{
    public DateTime date { get; set; }
    public void Print() { Console.WriteLine("TypeA: " + date.ToString()); }
}

public class TypeB
{
    public DateTime date { get; set; }
    public void Print() { Console.WriteLine("TypeB: " + date.ToString()); }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // setup
        var X = new List<TypeA>();
        var Y = new List<TypeB>();

        Random rnd = new Random();
        int imin, imax;

        imin = rnd.Next(3, 7);
        imax = rnd.Next(10, 20);

        for (int i = imin; i < imax; i++)
        {
            X.Add(new TypeA() { date = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1 * rnd.Next(1, 1000)) });
        }

        imin = rnd.Next(3, 7);
        imax = rnd.Next(10, 20);

        for (int i = imin; i < imax; i++)
        {
            Y.Add(new TypeB() { date = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1 * rnd.Next(1, 1000)) });
        }

        X = X.OrderBy(z => z.date).ToList();
        Y = Y.OrderBy(z => z.date).ToList();

        // begin print in order

        // index for X list
        int ix = 0;

        // index for Y list
        int iy = 0;

        // most recently printed date
        DateTime min = DateTime.MinValue;

        while (true)
        {
            if (ix < X.Count && X[ix].date >= min && (iy >= Y.Count || iy < Y.Count && X[ix].date <= Y[iy].date))
            {
                X[ix].Print();
                min = X[ix].date;
                ix++;
                continue;
            }

            if (iy < Y.Count && Y[iy].date >= min)
            {
                Y[iy].Print();
                min = Y[iy].date;
                iy++;
            }

            if (ix >= X.Count && iy >= Y.Count)
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

A: You can create an interface to host your common properties and functions, then join those lists after casting to this interface and sort it then:
interface ICommon
{
    DateTime DT { get; }
    void Print();
}
class ClassA : ICommon
{
    public DateTime DT { get; set; }
    public void Print() { Console.WriteLine("A " + DT); }
}
class ClassB : ICommon
{
    public DateTime DT { get; set; }
    public void Print() { Console.WriteLine("B " + DT); }
}

public static void Main()
{
    var listA = new List<ClassA> { new ClassA() { DT = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1) }, new ClassA() { DT = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-3) }};
    var listB = new List<ClassB> { new ClassB() { DT = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-2) }, new ClassB() { DT = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-4) }};

    var orderedResult = listA.Cast<ICommon>()
                             .Concat(listB.Cast<ICommon>())
                             .OrderBy(q => q.DT);
    //or possibly even better:
    //var orderedResult = listA.Concat<ICommon>(listB).OrderBy(q => q.DT);
    foreach (var obj in orderedResult)
        obj.Print();
}

A: If you can change the definition of class A and class B then you should use one of the other answers here which tells you to add an interface to both those classes.
However, if you cannot change the definition of class A and class B (perhaps because they are defined in a library that you can't change) then you must take a different approach.
One solution which keeps things fairly neat is to introduce a wrapper class which holds either an instance of class A or class B (but not both).
Assume that that your classes look like this:
class A
{
    public DateTime Date;
    public double Value;
    public void Print() {}
}

class B
{
    public DateTime Date;
    public string Value;
    public void Print() { }
}

You can write a simple wrapper that looks like this:
class Wrapper
{
    readonly A a;
    readonly B b;

    public Wrapper(A a)
    {
        this.a = a;
    }

    public Wrapper(B b)
    {
        this.b = b;
    }

    public DateTime Date => a?.Date ?? b.Date;

    public void Print()
    {
        if (a != null)
            a.Print();
        else
            b.Print();
    }
}

Then given two lists:
var listA = new List<A>();
var listB = new List<B>();

You can create a sorted list of Wrapper objects:
var sorted =
    listA.Select(a => new Wrapper(a))
    .Concat(listB.Select(b => new Wrapper(b)))
    .OrderBy(item => item.Date);

Then to call the appropriate Print() method for each item in the sorted list:
foreach (var item in sorted)
    item.Print();

A: In the case where the original A and B types are incompatible and unchangeable (perhaps they're from some database where the types are unrelated), you can also use a projection using LINQ to merge them.  This, in essence, creates a third class, albeit an anonymous one.  In general, you should avoid this approach when you can modify the classes and use the base class or interface approach, but, as this is not always possible, below is a sample for using a LINQ projection.  Note that the original types in this example have different names for the datetime which can be "merged" during the projection.
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<A> aList = new List<A> {new A {OtherAData = "First A", SomeDateTime = DateTime.Parse("12-11-1980")},
                                     new A {OtherAData = "Second A", SomeDateTime = DateTime.Parse("12-11-2000")} };
        List<B> bList = new List<B> {new B {OtherBData = "First B", SomeOtherDateTime = DateTime.Parse("12-11-1990")},
                                     new B {OtherBData = "Second B", SomeOtherDateTime = DateTime.Parse("12-11-2010")} };

        // create projections
        var unionableA = from a in aList
            select new {SortDateTime = a.SomeDateTime, AValue = a, BValue = (B) null};

        var unionableB = from b in bList
            select new {SortDateTime = b.SomeOtherDateTime, AValue = (A) null, BValue = b};

        // union the two projections and sort
        var union = unionableA.Union(unionableB).OrderBy(u => u.SortDateTime);

        foreach (var u in union)
        {
            if (u.AValue != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("A: {0}",u.AValue);
            }
            else if (u.BValue != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("B: {0}",u.BValue);
            }
        }

    }
}

public class A
{
    public DateTime SomeDateTime { get; set; }
    public string OtherAData { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return string.Format("SomeDateTime: {0}, OtherAData: {1}", SomeDateTime, OtherAData);
    }
}

public class B
{
    public DateTime SomeOtherDateTime { get; set; }
    public string OtherBData { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return string.Format("SomeOtherDateTime: {0}, OtherBData: {1}", SomeOtherDateTime, OtherBData);
    }
}

Sample Output:
 A: SomeDateTime: 12/11/1980 12:00:00 AM, OtherAData: First A
 B: SomeOtherDateTime: 12/11/1990 12:00:00 AM, OtherBData: First B
 A: SomeDateTime: 12/11/2000 12:00:00 AM, OtherAData: Second A
 B: SomeOtherDateTime: 12/11/2010 12:00:00 AM, OtherBData: Second B

A: Well, apart of interface solution, you can use abstract class and this class can contain default implementation of method Print :
abstract class AbstractClass
{
    protected string Details { get; set; }
    public DateTime DT { get; set; }

    private AbstractClass() { }

    protected AbstractClass(string details) { Details = details;}

    public virtual void Print()
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"{Details} {DT}");
    }
}

internal class ClassA : AbstractClass
{
    public ClassA() : base("A") { }
}

class ClassB : AbstractClass
{
    public ClassB() : base("B") { }
}

Usage :
var commonList = listA.Concat(listB.Cast<AbstractClass>()).OrderBy(e => e.DT).ToList();

commonList.ForEach(obj => obj.Print());

A: If you don't want to create a base type or interface you can do something like this:
new List<IEnumerable<dynamic>> { listA, listB }
    .SelectMany(x => x)
    .OrderBy(x => x.Date).ToList()
    .ForEach(x => Print(x));

You'll obviously need a Print() function, overloaded for class_A and class_B.
Making Print() a member function or extension method would make the above code even neater.

A: Create a third class having the properties of the other two. Then create a list of its objects and sort it by datetime.

A: I'd suggest a simpler way using an anonymous type with Action delegate.
No need to change the definition of A and B, no need to introduce extra classes/interfaces.
class A
{
    public DateTime Date;
    public void Print() { Console.Write("A"); }
}

class B
{
    public DateTime Date;
    public void Print() { Console.Write("B"); }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Generate sample data
        var r = new Random();

        var listA = Enumerable.Repeat(0, 10)
            .Select(_ => new A { Date = new DateTime(r.Next()) })
            .ToList();

        var listB = Enumerable.Repeat(0, 10)
            .Select(_ => new B { Date = new DateTime(r.Next()) })
            .ToList();

        // Combine the two lists into one of an anonymous type
        var combined = listA.Select(a => new { a.Date, Print = new Action(() => a.Print()) })
            .Concat(listB.Select(b => new { b.Date, Print = new Action(() => b.Print()) }))
            .OrderBy(c => c.Date)
            ;

        foreach (var item in combined)
        {
            item.Print();
            Console.Write(": " + item.Date);
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}

A: if I get the problem right then I would use a proxy class like this:
    public class Proxy
    {
        public object obj { get; set; }
        public DateTime date { get; set; }
    }

    var listAll = listA.Select(a => new Proxy { obj = a, date = a.date }).Union(listB.Select(b => new Proxy { obj = b, date = b.date })).OrderBy(d=>d.date).ToList();

    listAll.ForEach(c =>
       {
            if (c.obj.GetType() == typeof(A))
                printA(((A)c.obj));
            else if (c.obj.GetType() == typeof(B))
                printB(((B)c.obj));

       }

but I would rather let printing method to decide who is who

A: First, order the first by its property, then cast it to object, then concatenate it with the second list ordered by its property:
var lists = listA
.OrderBy(x => x.DateTimeProp)
.OfType<object>()
.Concat(
  listB
  .OrderBy(x => x.DateTimeProp)
  .OfType<object>()
);

After this, you can iterate through all items and act according to each item's type.
Of course, this sorts each list independently. If you need to sort globally, you  either need a base class or a shared interface that exposes the sortable property.

The Mind of a Founder
Magazine February 5, 2018, Issue
The Three Lives of James Madison: Genius, Partisan, President, by Noah Feldman (Random House, 800 pp., $35)
For generations, James Madison's memory was overshadowed by that of his friend Thomas Jefferson. It was Jefferson, not Madison, who was the icon of agrarian republicanism during the 19th century. In the 20th century, when progressives scoured history for intellectual forebears, they too preferred Jefferson to Madison.
But the tide began turning in Madison's favor after World War II. As political science became a more sophisticated discipline, scholars noticed that Madison had some profound ideas regarding political economy, legislative behavior, and party politics. Political theorists increasingly appreciated his ability to analyze problems dispassionately, without falling prey to the hyperbolic flights of fancy that often overtook Jefferson.
We are now in the midst of a full-blown Madisonian renaissance, which dates to the publication of Irving Brant's six-volume study in the 1940s and '50s. Historians, philosophers, economists, and political scientists all appreciate Madison, or at least see him as a figure to be reckoned with. And while it is harder to "sell" Madison to the broader book-buying public — after all, his life is not nearly as dramatic as those of Washington, Hamilton, or even Jefferson — there have been a number of very strong single-volume biographies over the last few years. Ralph Ketcham's James Madison (1971) remains arguably the best. Robert Allen Rutland's James Madison: The Founding Father (1987), James Madison (2011), by Richard Brookhiser, and most recently Lynne Cheney's James Madison: A Life Reconsidered (2014) are all notable volumes in this genre.
The marketplace for Madison biographies is thus rather oversupplied, but Noah Feldman's The Three Lives of James Madison is not a biography, strictly speaking. Instead, it presents and defends a metanarrative of Madison's political career. All biographers inevitably add some editorial gloss to their subjects, but Feldman's main ambition is to place the various parts of Madison's expansive career into clear, analytical categories.
This is a welcome addition to Madison scholarship. Feldman's writing is crisp, his organization is sound, and his analysis is first-rate. He is an obvious admirer of his subject, but his work never lapses into hagiography. For example, he is unblinking in his analysis of Madison's failures on the issue of slavery, and he rightly calls Madison out for his habit of seeing in his political opponents (such as Hamilton) a creeping antirepublicanism.
Feldman has crafted a work that will be essential for Madison scholars and helpful for lay readers interested in studying the "Father of the Constitution" in more detail. The careful organization and accessible writing even make it strongly recommended for somebody set to make his first encounter with Madison.
Naturally, every reader takes his own expectations into a book, using those preconceived notions as a way to judge its quality. Reviewers probably do this even more than most readers, since they (presumably) have greater expertise in the subject they're reading about. I was most interested in how Feldman would handle the "Madison Problem." This is a scholarly term of art to describe Madison's many intellectual inconsistencies over the course of his political career. He seemingly changed his mind on the proper scope of federal power, the elasticity permitted in constitutional interpretation, the relationship between Congress and the president, and the utility of political parties. Many of these changes of heart relate ultimately to Hamilton. Initially allied with Hamilton in the 1780s, Madison broke dramatically from him in the 1790s, and then, as president, enacted much of Hamilton's economic agenda after the War of 1812.
Scholars have offered various explanations for this trajectory. Was he simply a pragmatic statesman adjusting the particulars as circumstance required, as Adrienne Koch and Marvin Meyers argue? Was he motivated by jealousy toward Hamilton or concern for the parochial interests of Virginia, as Stanley Elkins, Eric McKitrick, and Forrest McDonald argue? Was he endeavoring to protect his own unique republican principles in the face of shifting threats, as Colleen Sheehan, Alan Gibson, and Greg Weiner argue? Is the whole Madison Problem perhaps overblown, a product of our own errant categories, as Lance Banning argues?
Feldman's answer is close to that of Koch and Meyers — that Madison evolved over time as the political situation made necessary. Feldman asserts that Madison lived "three distinct, contrasting public lives": First, he was the Father of the Constitution; then, in "opposition to his character and his beliefs," he became a partisan brawler; finally, as secretary of state and then as president, he confronted "the deep contrast between republican constitutional theory and real-world power." His life was a "path from idealistic innocence to chastened, realist experience." Along the way, Madison was inclined to develop "extraordinarily close friendships," with such men as Hamilton and James Monroe, that "eventually devolved into rivalry."
In the main, I am very sympathetic to this view. It is certainly a more charitable interpretation of his political career than the one usually offered by pro-Hamilton scholars, that Madison was somehow devious. I also think it is manifestly true in important respects. For instance, consider the incongruity between Madison's argument that the House in 1796 could defund the Jay Treaty and his endorsement at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 of executive discretion in foreign affairs. There is no denying that Madison adopted what Meyers diplomatically calls a "statesman's hermeneutic" to scuttle what he believed was a terrible deal.
Still, I wish Feldman had engaged more with such authors as Sheehan, Gibson, Weiner, and especially Banning, who have argued persuasively that there is a substantial, underlying continuity to Madisonian thought and deed. They identify a durable thread in Madison's commitment to republican government. Madison believed that public policy had to be balanced among social and economic factions, and he was a lifelong advocate of impartial governing institutions with their foundation on popular assent. This, they argue, explains many of Madison's seeming contradictions.
During his lengthy retirement, which Feldman's study does not really investigate, Madison conceptualized his career in similar terms. He commented late in life: "As to [whether] I deserted Colonel Hamilton, or rather Colonel H. deserted me; in a word, the divergence between us took place — from his wishing . . . to administer the government . . . into what he thought it ought to be; while, on my part, I endeavored to make it conform to the Constitution, as understood by the Convention that produced and recommended it, and particularly by the state conventions that adopted it."
There is, at the root of what Madison was saying there, an understanding of republican self-governance, from which Banning, Sheehan, and others have excavated an elaborate Madisonian system of popular sovereignty, constitutionalism, and public policy. It need not be in tension with the views expressed by Koch, Meyers, and now Feldman, but rather can be an amplification of them — a recognition that while Madison did move hither and yon on many issues, he remained, at bottom, an original and consistent republican statesman-philosopher. Pragmatic, yes; inconsistent in some respects; but singular and indispensable.

Meta4, founded in 2001, is one of Finland's most successful string quartets. The Quartet's international career began in Moscow in 2004, when they won the Shostakovich (String Quartet) Competition. In 2007 they took first prize in the International Joseph Haydn Chamber Music Competition in Vienna. That same year they received the Finland Prize in recognition of their success internationally. They were the BBC's New Generation Artist 2008-2010, and in 2013 received an award from the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation.
The quartet has played in Vienna, London, Madrid, Paris, Stockholm and Shanghai. In Finland, the quartet was also Artistic Director of the Oulunsalo Soi Chamber Music Festival from 2008 to 2011, and from 2008 it was quartet-in-residence of the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival. Meta4 studied at the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA) and their main teachers were Hatto Beyerle and Johannes Meissl.

Einstein Cosmological Constant (lambda)
The value of a supposed repulsion force that would contribute to the expansion of the Universe. It was first predicted by Einstein in 1917 to avoid one of the results of his own equations, which implied that the Universe would collapse one day under its own gravity. At that time the Universe was thought to be static. When the observations proved that the Universe is actually expanding, Einstein said that the cosmological constant had been his biggest error. However, some physicists believe today that there is indeed such a repulsion force in the Universe.
Electric propulsion
Advanced propulsion system, as used on certain satellites (SMART-1), employing solar electric power to ionise and expel a propellant (such as Xenon gas) at high speed, causing it to move forwards. Compared with conventional chemical propulsion systems, electric propulsion requires less propellant to perform similar operations.
Electromagnetic radiation, or light, can be considered to be composed of particles (photons) or waves. Its properties depend on its wavelength: longer waves are less energetic than shorter waves – photons with long wavelength have less energy than short-wavelength photons. Electromagnetic radiation is usually described as bands of radiation of similar wavelength, e.g., infrared, radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, X-rays... (These bands of radiation roughly correspond to the range of wavelengths which can be detected by different instruments.) Only a small fraction of the entire range of electromagnetic radiation can be detected by the human eye: visible light, or what in everyday-life is referred to simply as light. The human eye cannot detect wavelengths longer than those of the visible light, such as those of infrared light, microwaves (wavelengths of centimetres), or radio waves (wavelengths of metres). Wavelengths shorter than visible light cannot be seen either: ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays (the most energetic). Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of wavelength (L), measured in metres (m), or frequency (f), measured in hertz (Hz). The relationship between these two is given by: f = L/c where c= speed of light.

Driving Toward a Customer Experience Organization
Customer experience (CX) is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary strategy that needs systemic alignment, development, and amalgamation of various capabilities in an organization.
In the webinar, 'The Heart & Mind of a Winning CX Culture,' Ray Rivadelo (PLDT Enterprise Vice President and Head of Enterprise Customer Experience and Care) identifies key road markers toward arriving at a true CX organization:
Mission: A company's mission helps define its purpose and set it apart from the competition. Mission maturity brings greater clarity on the company's abilities and intentions, enabling it to align CX with brand, business, and strategic implementation.
Guiding Principles: The foundations of how you want your company to operate, guiding principles should encompass three critical concepts:
Customer-first: Ray points out that keeping customers at the center of the map also means thinking outside well-worn paths to best decide whether systems need to be fixed or improved, to ensure better experiences for the customer.
People-led: Since frontline workers are the ones who directly engage with customers daily, Ray strongly recommends that they be empowered, as they likely understand customers best and ultimately represent the brand.
Resolution: A customer tweets, calls, or chats for a reason, Ray says, and with 'customer-first' and 'people-led' principles serving as guideposts, identifying, understanding, and resolving issues must always be the priority.
Measures of Success: Rather than chasing after every metric on the horizon, Ray suggests that a company's measures of success should be aligned with its guiding principles, the better to stay on track toward achieving its specific goals.
Key Priorities: A company needs to base its key priorities on both long- and short-term goals, the latter of which include basic hygiene factors—like typical customer complaints—which are easiest and less time consuming to solve, driving CSAT results. Long-term goals are about mapping the road ahead, taking into account existing resources and how to steer these forward, to serve customers for any evolving needs.
Core Enablers: Ray emphasizes the importance of support from all departments to transform a company into a thriving CX organization. This is supported by the Temkin Group's recent research—which states that over half of all companies want to be the best, in terms of CX delivery level—as well a recent KPMG study, which says that what was previously considered to be great customer experience is no longer good enough.
Simply put, how a company treats its customers will have a bearing on its ROI, and companies need to keep up with changing times and evolving customer expectations, to deliver what the customer considers exceptional service.

Ridgeline Energy and BP Wind Energy for mobilization of East Idaho wind farm
When fully operational, the wind farm will have a wind power capacity of 124.5 megawatts (MW) and will be the largest wind energy facility in the state of Idaho.
Located on an 11,000 acre site approximately 10 miles east of the city OfIdaho Falls, the Goshen North wind farm will utilize 83 GE xle wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 1.5 MW. The wind power project will employ approximately 250 workers during peak construction and is expected to be in commercial operation by year end. The balance of plant contract has been awarded to Mortenson Construction.
Ridgeline Energy CEO Steve Voorhees said, "We are excited about commencing Goshen North construction and furthering our commitment to wind energy development in Idaho. Goshen North and our other Idaho wind energy projects will help diversify the region's energy supply while continuingIdaho's tradition of clean energy generation."
"When operational this wind farm has the potential to deliver over 380 million kilowatt hours of clean, renewable electricity every year," said John Graham, president, BP Wind Energy. "The investment that BP and Ridgeline Energy are making will create new jobs during construction, deliver an additional revenue stream to rural communities without impacting traditional farming and ranching, and provide clean, affordable power. The cooperation of the landowners, county officials, contractors and sub-contractors has been key to enabling this project to reach today's milestone."
The Goshen North wind farm is a joint development venture between Ridgeline Energy and BP Wind Energy. The power from the Goshen North wind farm has been sold under a long-term power purchase agreement to Southern California Edison and will generate enough carbon-free electricity to power approximately 37,000 average American homes. BP Wind Energy will be the operator of the wind farm.
Colorado wind farm looks to add up to 127 wind turbines
A wind farm in northeastern Colorado with 273 wind turbines is looking at adding more. The Cedar Creek wind farm in Weld County generates about 300 megawatts, or enough electricity to serve roughly 90,000 homes.
David Gonzalez of BP Wind Energy says plans call for adding up to 127 turbines with a generating capacity of up to 300 megawatts on 30,000 acres east of the existing turbines.
About 250 workers would work on the construction, which BP Wind Energy hopes to start this summer. Twelve to 14 permanent workers would be needed once the turbines are operating.
The county planning commission on Tuesday approved the proposed expansion.
Ridgeline Energy, LLC, with personnel located in Idaho, Oregon andWashington, focuses on developing utility-scale wind-energy projects in the western United States that meet our customers' needs and provide significant benefits to our host communities and landowners.
Ridgeline is part of Veolia Environment (NYSE:VE) (Paris Euronext:VIE), the world's largest environmental services company providing tailored solutions in energy management, water management, waste services, and freight and passenger transportation. In North America the Veolia Environment operations groups maintain headquarters in Chicago, have been in operation for more than 30 years and employ more than 30,000 people.

Men are less concerned about skin cancer than women. But they're more likely to die from it.
Leslie Young GlobalNews.ca
Skin cancer is on the rise in Canada, due in part to UV ray exposure both from the sun and from man-made sources like tanning beds.
Men are less worried about sun exposure than women, a new survey says, but dermatologists say that's a mistake.
In the Canadian Dermatology Association's annual survey on sun and skin cancer awareness, 55 per cent of men said that they were concerned about the risk of skin cancer as a result of sun exposure, compared to 67 per cent of women.
The problem is, more men than women die of melanoma. The CDA estimates that in 2017, 450 women died from melanoma, compared to 790 men. Men also account for a greater percentage of melanoma cases than women.
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer — here are the warning signs
Most people are aware of the dangers of sun exposure, said Dr. Jason Rivers, clinical professor of dermatology at the University of British Columbia, but not enough people translate that awareness into action and protect themselves.
WATCH: At just 23 years old, Ashley Gregerson was shocked to be diagnosed with melanoma. After undergoing surgery, she shares her story and stresses why people of all ages need to be careful in the sun.
"Women are more health-aware and more likely to take actions in terms of health maintenance and prevention compared to guys," he said. He thinks this is true across medicine, but also in dermatology.
"More than women, guys are less likely to heed the warning signs about the sun. So they're more likely to get sunburnt and they're more likely not to use sunscreens and protect themselves from the sun."
Men are also more likely to put off getting a problem looked at, which might mean things are worse by the time they get medical attention, he said. "In a sense, it's reflected in part in the fact that mortality rates are increasing faster in men than women with regards to skin cancers, specifically melanoma."
Woman opens up about surviving 86 skin-cancer surgeries: 'I don't have quit in me'
In men, most melanoma cases appear on the back – likely because they have their shirts off more often during hot weather, he said. "This is an area that you can't see, so that may be one area and one reason why people are less likely to detect this early."
Rivers would like everyone – men and women – to take more precautions when they're in the sun. Simple things like wearing more clothing, putting on a hat and sunglasses, and using sunscreen can help to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

28 More Companies Sign White House Pledge to Close Gender Wage Gap
You Should Invite Someone to Move in With Your Family
The White House announced today that 28 companies in the private sector have pledged their commitment to closing the gender pay gap for their employees—fitting for Women's Equality Day.
The companies range across multiple industries including Apple, Delta Air Lines, Hilton, Ikea and more.
In the United States, women working full time earn an average of 79 cents for every dollar men make, according to Census data. Black women are paid 63 cents and Latina women 56 cents compared to every dollar paid to white men.
Several recent studies have confirmed the existence of the wage gap across industries and employment levels.
More than 50 companies have signed the White House Equal Pay Pledge, which has been in the works for some time now. In January, President Obama signed an executive order requiring businesses with more than 100 employees to report their wage data broken down by race and sex to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Each company that signed today included a personal pledge. Some excerpts are below:
Equal work deserves equal pay. This past year, Apple looked at the total compensation for U.S. employees and closed the gaps we found. We've achieved pay equity in the United States for similar roles and performance. Women employees at Apple earn one dollar for every dollar male employees earn.
The 'Hotspot' Is Everywhere
Facebook is a longtime supporter of equal pay. We regularly review our compensation practices to ensure pay equity, and have done so for many years. We complete thorough statistical analyses to compare the compensation of men and women performing similar work. As such, we are proud to share that at Facebook, men and women earn the same. We encourage efforts to establish methods to close the wage gaps around the world.
Ikea:
We know that each individual adds value to the team, and we are committed to creating an inclusive work environment that encourages our diverse and competent co-workers to be themselves, to apply their unique perspectives at work, and to assume responsibility for our growth. In addition to being the right thing to do, creating this environment also improves our business results and strengthens our competitiveness.
