'Dark Phoenix' Is A Lousy End To The X-Men Franchise
Mike RyanTwitterSenior Entertainment Writer
"You're always sorry. There's always a speech. Nobody cares anymore." This is a line of dialogue spoken by Michael Fassbender's Magneto to James McAvoy's Charles Xavier during the new, and last, of these X-Men movies, Dark Phoenix (at least of this particular storyline; the forever delayed New Mutants is still technically on the release schedule). And for the life of me, I don't understand how this line could be put in this movie unless the filmmakers had all just kind of given up, because it's impossible not to interpret it as a kind of breaking the fourth wall meta-commentary about the proceedings held forth in front of us. Yes, this is a movie filled with speeches.
Sadly, everything about Dark Phoenix just feels unnecessary – and it shows in the performances, as everyone just seems to be going through the motions, wondering how on Earth their contracts aren't up yet. It's a stark contrast to Matthew Vaughn's rip-roaring, excitingly cool X-Men: First Class that kick-started this new cast. Now everyone looks bored.
It's now the second attempt at adapting the X-Men comics' Dark Phoenix Saga to the big screen. It was first squeezed in Brett Ratner's 2006 X-Men: The Last Stand and now tried again in Simon Kinberg's Dark Phoenix, to not much better success. And on top of all that, after the sale of 20th Century Fox to Disney, this film now serves as an unofficial ending to a 19-year-old franchise that, despite its ups and downs, deserved a lot better.
The first X-Men, way back in 2000, deserves more credit (or blame, depending on your point of view) for ushering in the superhero-infested theatrical waters we now live in. It was only three years prior Batman & Robin did its best to kill the superhero genre forever. It's one particular scene that stands out in that first X-Men: As Mystique disguises herself as Wolverine, Wolverine proves his true self by calling Cyclops a "dick," which Cyclops quickly accepts as valid identification. At the time this was somewhat groundbreaking, a scene played for laughs in a superhero movie that was "adult" in nature. We've seen it literally a hundred times since, but, then, this was a pretty shocking and hilarious scene. And it became a kind of template in tone for these X-Men movies, and then the MCU, for the next 19 years.
In the comics, Jean Grey (played by Sophie Turner) is hit by a solar flare that gives her heightened powers that eventually leads to Jean calling herself Phoenix, then Dark Phoenix. In the film Dark Phoenix, it's 1992 and the X-Men are asked to rescue the Space Shuttle Endeavor that's being attacked by some sort of space gunk – a gunk that Jean Grey eventually absorbs. Whatever this gunk is remains a fairly confusing plot point for most of the movie. The best explanation was that it's kind of like the Genesis device from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: It can create life out of lifelessness, but also destroy any life it encounters. Anyway, whatever. Jean is now possessed by this space gunk, which causes her to lose control of her emotions and wreck havoc on anyone who stands in her way – something that winds up dividing the X-Men into "pro-Jean" and "we should just kill Jean" factions.
Now, for reasons I still can't figure out, this is also where the film introduces us to a bunch of aliens, led by Jessica Chastain, who are in pursuit of this space gunk. Why this movie also needs "aliens" is beyond me. What I think they were trying to do is set Chastain's character up to be kind of like Mastermind in the comics – the villain who manipulates Jean and her new powers. But, instead, we just spend the whole movie trying to figure out who Chastain is even playing. (Honestly, poor Chastain seems about as confused as the audience is as she's doing some sort of monotone "I am an alien, take me to your leader" voice.) Here's the best explanation I could come up with: In the end credits, Chastain's character is credited as "Vuk." Doing a search of some Marvel Wikipedia type sites, Vuk is a member of the Xartan alien race who seldomly appeared in anything really – which makes "Vuk" an odd choice to be the villain. Though, considering all these aliens are shapeshifters, I suspect they were initially envisioned at Skrulls, at least until Captain Marvel used Skrulls in that film and, well, here's now fan favorite "Vuk" for the viewing masses.
Again, going back to that quote to start this whole thing, Dark Phoenix is filled with a lot of speeches. Gone from Dark Phoenix is any sense of joy (or anything fun like the also aforementioned "you're a dick" scene; or even those killer Quicksilver slow-motion scenes from the last two films) and it's all replaced with speech after speech after speech by actors who look like they wish they were doing literally anything else – in a story that seems like it's been patched together with fragments of a much better story they weren't allowed to tell. (Jennifer Lawrence, who is still somehow playing Mystique and is second-billed in this movie, is only in this movie for a grand total of maybe 15 minutes. If you're a big Jennifer Lawrence fan and you just can't wait to see the new Jennifer Lawrence movie, well be warned she's barely in this.)
What a bummer for this franchise to end on Apocalypse and, now, Dark Phoenix. Yes, there have been plenty of clunkers along the way, but these X-Men movies have also provided us with some legitimate classics. And now, somewhere down the line, Marvel will reboot the X-Men to fit into the MCU. (If nothing else, at least there will be some continuity, something that always plagued this franchise. Don't forget, somehow Michael Fassbender will look like Ian McKellen just eight years after the events of Dark Phoenix.) But I will miss this franchise. When they got it right, these movies could be incredible. I do wonder, 20 years from now, how we'll look back on these movies. My guess is entries like Dark Phoenix and X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Last Stand will be forgotten, while films like X2 and First Class and Logan will all be remembered fondly.
So, yes, it's a shame we didn't get one last great X-Men film, but in the end, it won't matter. There are still a whole heck of a lot of them that will stand the test of time.

Civil Rights Giant John Mack Leaves L.A. So Much Better than He Found It
By Sahra Sulaiman
John Mack speaks in the PBS documentary The Powerbroker, on the legacy of civil rights leader Whitney Young.
Today, as Los Angeles mourns the passing of life-long civil rights advocate John Mack, we take a moment to reflect on what Mack's loss means for the city and for the communities he fought so hard to uplift. He forced the city to be so much better than it ever aspired to be and we are grateful that he did.
As president of the Los Angeles Urban League from 1969 to 2005, member of the LAPD Police Commission from 2005 to 2013, and member of the City Planning Commission until just a few weeks ago, Mack was not one to keep quiet on issues impacting his community.
His life of activism was an outgrowth of the work he had engaged in since his youth. Born to a Methodist minister and a school teacher in the Jim Crow South in 1937, he had gone on to lead his college NAACP chapter. In 1960 – two years after graduating from North Carolina A&T State and while pursuing his Master's in Social Work at Atlanta University – he co-organized student sit-ins and co-founded the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights with fellow leaders from other historically black colleges and universities. Together, they actively decried the hypocrisy of a democracy that aggressively denied its black citizens equal access to education, jobs, housing, health care, voting, and recreational opportunities, deliberately mistreated and discriminated against them, and denied them their basic humanity.
His activism would raise his profile within the movement for civil rights – he was mentored by both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Whitney Young. But with that raised profile came more danger. While living in the South, he was chased by the Klan and, according to his wife Harriet, had a $90,000 bounty put on his head at one point.
He remained undaunted. And he would bring that same tenacity to the Los Angeles Urban League when he arrived in 1969, unafraid to lift his voice on behalf of his community while diligently cobbling together the resources that would help serve it in more tangible ways.
According to a 2005 L.A. Times profile of him, "In his first six months, Mack plunged into school desegregation; pushed for the hiring of blacks on construction sites; hosted a major fundraiser, a football game and a battle of the bands between two black colleges, that attracted 65,000 to the Coliseum; and boosted the league's membership with a benefit concert at the Shrine Auditorium starring board member and singer Nancy Wilson."
His capacity for bridge-building was what made it possible for a previously-middling local chapter to make such tremendous strides and raise both its local and national profiles in such a short space of time. At times, that approach could be used against him – fuel for claims that he wasn't acting on behalf of the community (as in the dispute over the League's acceptance of money from Wal-Mart and support for its bid to come into the community). But Mack would argue it was all in service of a larger cause.
Mack would continue to raise his voice on behalf of black workers, rail against disinvestment, and lobby for investment that did not undermine black ownership in the community throughout the 1980s and 90s. And under his leadership, the League would establish the Milken Youth Family Literacy and Youth Training Center in 1989 as a way to shore up the foundation of the community. The center focused on literacy, mentorship, job preparation and training, and providing a safe haven from the streets for youth and adults alike.
As tensions rose in the weeks leading up to the Rodney King verdict, Mack worked with Rev. Cecil L. Murray, then-mayor Tom Bradley, and other black leaders to try to put a plan in place to safeguard peace. And in the years after 1992, he would continue to work to bring funds and resources to Inglewood and build partnerships, like that with Toyota in South Central, to try to bridge the gaps the city remained so reluctant to close. All told, the League's programs would come to serve over 100,000 residents a year under Mack – a tough act to follow in more recent years, thanks to changes in the the funding landscape, the recession, and the loss of the building where the League stood for so many years.
Even with the complexity of the challenges the League faced in addressing the legacy of disenfranchisement, Mack said in a recent lecture that he counted his many battles with the LAPD among the most difficult he endured over his long career of service. Describing the Darryl Gates-era LAPD as a "brutal, racist institution" that had "operated like an occupational force" in the black community, he recalled how hard it had been to get L.A.'s leadership to take seriously the choke-hold deaths of young black men, to push out leaders like the overtly racist Gates, and to put in place the kind of infrastructure that could begin to rein in the power of the LAPD.
If L.A.'s leadership had hoped that his retirement from the League in 2005 and subsequent appointment to the Police Commission would temper that frankness, they were likely disappointed. Just prior to his appointment to the commission, Mack had spoken to reporters about the shooting death of 13-year-old Devin Brown – killed when officer Steve Garcia opened fire on him as he backed a stolen car towards the officer. Mack had called the incident a "tragedy," expressed sympathy for Brown's family, and declared that the officer had not been in danger and should not have shot Brown. Once appointed to the commission, he continued to weigh in publicly by criticizing the slow pace of the investigation into the incident.
His outspokenness and the commission's eventual ruling that the officer should be disciplined over the "out of policy" shooting drew national attention, including the critique that Mack's past advocacy against police brutality rendered him incapable of objectivity. Author Jack Dunphy, himself a former LAPD officer and someone who continues to question the existence of implicit and institutional biases in his current writings, went on to challenge Mack's integrity and ability to serve on the commission, stating that comments like the ones Mack made prior to his appointment are the reason "why LAPD officers…view his continued service on the Police Commission as an insult."
Serving as the only black member of the commission and continuing to speak out did not get any easier, especially as he shepherded the LAPD through the reform process and implementation of the consent decree. Mack acknowledged as much in an interview with Jill Leovy of the L.A. Times about his decision to accept the post. As someone who had stood on the side of the community activists for so long, he said, "The community views me as a strong advocate on the commission. They think I can come in and wave a magic wand."
He knew the reality would be more difficult and that, to the casual observer, it might not look like he was bringing radical change. But he vowed to stay true to his core principles.
"I will call it as I see it," he said at the time. "As a young person, I made a commitment to do all I could to create a level playing field on behalf of my people and to devote my life not just to changing Georgia and the South, but America. So this is not a play thing for me…I'm not in this to win a popularity contest. I'm in this to bring about change."
He took that approach to the City Planning Commission, as well, where he had served from 2013 until very recently. As major projects aiming to reshape the landscape in South Central came before the commission, Mack could always be counted on to gently remind those present of the marginalization his community had endured and of the need to explicitly address that legacy in the plans – via more affordable housing, stronger hiring provisions, etc. – in order for the community to have a shot at benefiting from a project.
But his legacy endures far beyond the commissions he served on, as seen by the tributes that poured in via social media today.
Locally and nationally, the Urban League lamented the fall of a giant oak in the movement.
We join in mourning the tremendous loss of #JohnMack, civil rights leader + longtime Urban Leaguer. Our prayers are with his family + loved ones 🙏🏾.

And so did Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who Mack had worked closely with in the hopes of seeing a black-owned theater at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.
Cookie & I are deeply saddened by the loss of my mentor & good friend John Mack.

Truth can be a damn difficult thing to digest sometimes.
Some of us have been there. You get that news from the doctor that you, or a loved one, has just been diagnosed with a serious disease, and it hits you like a ton of bricks.
Several years ago my father was diagnosed with a brain tumor known as a Glioblastoma (GBM). A GBM diagnosis is essentially a death sentence– it's one of the most aggressive tumors in existence, and it grows in the part of the body that modern medicine understands the least.
It was a tough pill for everyone to swallow… especially my father.
Our natural defense mechanism as human beings is to deny reality. These sorts of things happen to other people, not to us.
It's this same defense mechanism that leads people to ignore the obvious fiscal realities of their home country despite overwhelming objective evidence.
After all, debt-fueled collapse happens to other countries. Not to us.
We go our entire lives being told that our country is different. We're special.
We have televised 'experts' going on TV explaining why our debts and deficits don't matter. And Nobel Prize-winning pseduoscientists complaining that our debts and deficits aren't big enough.
But deep down you know the truth.
In the Land of the Free, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently released its 2013 Financial Report of the United States government.
This is the government's best attempt at an honest accounting of its books. And even though they use a different accounting system that gives them special advantages, the picture is still remarkably bleak.
But it's not all about the debt. Debt is not necessarily evil… and it's important to look at the situation qualitatively in addition to quantitatively.
Let's drop a few zeros and consider this in terms of personal finance.
Assume you had $1.75 million in total debt. That sounds like a lot to most people.
But if you had $3 million in liquid assets to offset the debt, plus $500,000 in annual income to pay interest, living expenses, and just about any contingency that could come your way, you'd be in great shape.
It would be even better if that $1.75 million in debt financed a lucrative real estate investment which was generating a 25% cash-on-cash return for you.
The GAO added up ALL the US government's assets in 2013. Aircraft carriers. The highway system. Land. Cash and financial assets. The total is $2.97 trillion.
The liabilities, on the other hand, total $19.88 trillion. This includes the official public debt, plus all sorts of IOUs and loan guarantees.
This means the net EQUITY of the US government is minus $16.9 trillion.
Moreover, the US government's cash position is a mere $206 billion… roughly 1.1% of its public debt. This isn't enough to cover net interest payments for the next year.
Unlike a savvy investor who borrows cheap money to purchase productive assets, the US government borrows money to pay interest.
Quantitatively AND qualitatively, the data point to an inevitable conclusion: despite all the propaganda, this is NOT a risk free environment.
And understanding these trends and consequences is absolutely critical to your long-term financial survival.

Q: Out parameters in C void swap(int &first, int &second){
    int temp = first;
    first = second;
    second = temp;
}

int a=3,b=2;
swap(a,b);

The compiler complaints that void swap(int &first, int &second) has a syntax error. Why? Doesn't C support references?

A: C doesn't support passing by reference; that's a C++ feature. You'll have to pass pointers instead.
void swap(int *first, int *second){
    int temp = *first;
    *first = *second;
    *second = temp;
}

int a=3,b=2;
swap(&a,&b);

A: C doesn't support passing by reference. So you will need to use pointers to do what you are trying to achieve:
void swap(int *first, int *second){
    int temp = *first;
    *first = *second;
    *second = temp;
}

int a=3,b=2;
swap(&a,&b);

I do NOT recommend this: But I'll add it for completeness.
You can use a macro if your parameters have no side-effects.
#define swap(a,b){   \
    int _temp = (a); \
    (a) = _b;        \
    (b) = _temp;     \
}

A: for integer swap you can use this method without a local variable:
int swap(int* a, int* b)
{
    *a -= *b;
    *b += *a;
    *a = *b - *a;
}

Naturally occurring as a muscle attachment, the frenum connects underside of the upper lip to the front of the gums and it may affect the normal alignment of the teeth. Sometimes, the attachment may be so long that it may interfere with the proper interface of the front teeth. Surgical removal or manipulation of the frenum to correct this cosmetic issue is referred to as a Frenectomy.
Impacted wisdom teeth are common issues faced by most adults in which the 3rd molars remain stuck in the jaw bone and become a frequent cause of infection, pain, facial swelling, and oral discomfort. The procedure involves exposing the impacted tooth by lifting the gum tissue. Depending upon the situation and severity of impaction; several surgical options can be taken.
Besides the 3rd molar; virtually any tooth can present with impaction.
Dental Implants serves to replace damaged, lost, or chipped teeth. An implant is basically a titanium post that is surgically introduced in the jaw bone to fill the socket and serves as a strong and functional foundation for the artificial tooth.
Feel free to book an appointment if you have any further questions or queries.

Q: Reuse method code on derived class I have a base class like this
using System;
public class Message{
  public int id {get;set;}
  //a lot of properties here
  public void print(){
    Console.WriteLine("id is " + id );

    //a lot of write lines here
  }
}

and a derived one like this
public class Comment : Message{
  public int parent_id {get;set;}
  //a lot of properties here
  public void print(){
    //???
  }
}

How to implement method print() of Comment which can reuse code of Message::print()?
Here is code on ideone https://ideone.com/9af6UM

A: Depending on what you want to do, call the base class:
public void print()
{
    base.print();
}

Or override the base function:
// Message class:

public virtual void print()
{
    // Code...
}

// Comment class:

public override void print()
{
    // Some code...
}

Update: A C++ translation, as requested. Calling the base class:
public:
void print() {
    Message::print();
}

Overriding the base function:
// Message class:

public:
virtual void print() {
    // This line is the same as Console.WriteLine()
    // std::cout << "id is" << id << std::endl;

    // Code...
}

// Comment class:

public:
void print() override {
    // Some code...
}

A: If all you want to do is use the base class's implementation, then leave it out of the derived class.
public class Comment : Message
{
    public int parent_id {get;set;}
    //a lot of properties here
}

Now you can call the base print() method like this:
var comment = new Comment();
comment.print();

If you want to call the base class's implementation and do something else, you can reference the base class (and use the new keyword in the derived class to avoid a compiler warning).
public class Comment : Message
{
    public int parent_id {get;set;}
    //a lot of properties here

    public new void print()
    {
        base.print();
        // do additional work
    }
}

A: Depending on what you are trying to achieve. If you simply want to call the print() method from a derived class then just call print().
However if you want to allow different behaviour (or require behaviour) from the derived classes then what you you are looking for is to abstract the methods using either the abstract or virtual modifiers.
abstract basically forces the derived class to override the method print()`.
virtual in contrast allows the derived class to optionally override the method.
Note that base. is not required and calling base.print() calls the base method in your derived class, where print() directly calls print() of the current class.
Here are a few different examples.
public class Message
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    //a lot of properties here
    public virtual void print()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("id is " + id);

        //a lot of write lines here
    }
}

public class Comment : Message
{
    public int parent_id { get; set; }

    public override void print()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Parent Id: {0}", parent_id); //print the parent id
        base.print(); //now tell the base class Message to execute print...
    }
}

public class Message2 : Message
{

    public override void print()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I am message two"); //print the parent id
        //note no base.print() so wont execute Message.print()
    }
}

public abstract class AbstractMessage
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public abstract void print(); //<-- note abstract therefore the derrived classes MUST implement the print() method
}

public class Message3 : AbstractMessage
{
    public override void print() //<--- must be implemented
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Iam am message 3");
    }
}

Northumberland carers to receive pay rise

Covid jabs on line-up as 'vaccine tent' opens at Reading and Leeds festivals
Thursday, 26th August 2021, 8:27 am
Festival-goers will be able to get a vaccine as easily as a burger or a beer (Photo: Getty Images)
Music fans will be able to get a Covid-19 vaccine as they soak up the atmosphere at Reading and Leeds festival this weekend.
The event will be hosting pop-up clinics across the two sites over the bank holiday weekend to allow attendees who have not yet received their vaccine to grab a jab.
Encouraging young people to get vaccinated
Festival-goers will be able to get a vaccine as easily as a burger or a beer at the event, according to health officials, although the jabs will not be offered to people under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The rollout comes as NHS England confirmed more than half a million 16 and 17-year-olds have now received their first dose, and it is hoped the convenience of the pop-up clinics will encourage more people to follow suit.
The offer follows other major efforts to get more young people vaccinated, with jabs already available at nightclubs, football stadiums and the circus.
A new video was released by the NHS earlier this week featuring three previously healthy people in their early 20s and 30s in a bid to show the debilitating effects of long Covid.
The NHS has said that people aged between 18 and 34 now account for more than one in five of those admitted to hospital with Covid-19, which is four times higher than the peak in winter 2020.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid insisted getting vaccinated is "one of the most important things" people can do to protect themselves and their loved ones, and praised the festivals for stepping up to support the rollout.
He said: "Vaccines are saving lives and allowing us to regain the freedoms we've been looking forward to over the last 18 months – from visiting family abroad to festivals and gigs.
"It's brilliant to see different sectors and industries stepping up to help get the country vaccinated, making it easier than ever to get your jab."
When will the jabs be available?
Attendees at Reading festival will be able to get a jab between 9.30am and 5pm from Thursday 26 August until Sunday 29 August, and from 9am to 1pm on Monday 30 August.
There will also be a two-hour slot for festival staff on Wednesday lunchtime and jabs for early arrivals in the afternoon.
At the Leeds site, vaccines will be on offer from 10am until 4pm from Friday 27 August to Sunday 29 August, and from 8am until 11am on Monday 30 August.
Health professionals will also be available at the Leeds clinic on Thursday between 10am and 4pm for festival-goers who want to discuss the jab.
Dr Nikki Kanani, a GP and deputy lead for NHS England's vaccination programme, said: "Thanks to the hard work of NHS staff and volunteers, more than half a million young people aged 16 and 17 have had their first dose as teams across the country have worked tirelessly to get their communities protected, vaccinating at convenient pop-up clinics in the park, at places of worship and stadiums, and now at Reading and Leeds.
"It is great to see the return of live music and performances, and as festival-goers head to the main stage this weekend to see their favourite headliners, I am also urging anyone who hasn't to add the 'vaccine tent' to their festival itinerary to get that lifesaving vaccine as the best protection we can get from coronavirus."
The vaccine push comes after several music festivals have been linked to outbreaks of Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.
Health officials are currently investigating 4,700 cases of coronavirus which are suspected to be linked to the Boardmasters surf and music festival, which took place in Cornwall nearly two weeks ago.
Elsewhere it has been reported that more than 1,000 people who attended Latitude Festival at Henham Park in Suffolk last month have since tested positive for the virus.

It seemed equally important to find out something about the translators: their background, the nature of their interest in Dante, their motives in tackling the task of translation, their equipment, their other literary achievements and so on. While this was fairly easy with some of them, a great many proved very difficult to identify; but one or two strokes of luck during the first phase of the investigation gave encouragement, and all except a few have emerged as personalities.
The object of the following pages is to present the fullest possible array of facts regarding the English translators of the Divine Comedy or substantial portions thereof; to give specimens of each translation together with a critical appraisal; to draw at least some preliminary conclusions from the results with regard to the principles on which the translation of poetry has been and should be based, as well as to its historical development, its relation to contemporary thought, and its value as a department of literature; and lastly to give a brief glance at the corresponding achievements in other languages, with perhaps a side -glance at the parallel stream of Faust translations. In the main only translations extending to at least one completed cantica have been dealt with, so that the record begins in the year 1782 with the appearance of Rogers' Inferno; incidentally until that year not even a single complete canto of the Divine Comedy had been printed in English.

North Shore (Lake Superior)
Split Rock Lighthouse is on North Shore of Lake Superior. This is part of a Minnesota State Park and is open for visitors.
Winter along the North Shore
The North Shore of Lake Superior runs from Duluth, Minnesota, United States, at the southwestern end of the lake, to Thunder Bay and Nipigon, Ontario, Canada, in the north to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, in the east. The shore is characterized by alternating rocky cliffs and cobblestone beaches, with rolling hills and ridges covered in boreal forest inland from the lake, through which scenic rivers and waterfalls descend as they flow to Lake Superior. Americans often refer only to the Minnesota shoreline from Duluth to the international border at Grand Portage as the North Shore.

Pre-colonization
Ojibwe Wigwam at Grand Portage painted by Eastman Johnson in 1857
Lake Superior was settled by Native Americans about 8000 BC when the Wisconsin Glaciers began to retreat. By 500 BC the Laurel people had established settlements in the area and had begun to trade metal with other native peoples. The Laurel people were animists and probably created many of the pictographs present on rock faces along the North Shore and other Canadian rock faces in order to communicate with spirits.
In the 12th century AD, on the easternmost portion of the North Shore, the ancestors of the Ojibwa migrated into the area. These people left behind small pits dug in the ground which archaeologists now call Pukaskwa Pits. On the Minnesotan portion of the North Shore, there are only three archaeological sites, so it cannot be determined who lived there at the time.
By the 18th century the Ojibwa had settled the length of the North Shore approximately as far as the modern Canadian-Minnesotan Border. The Minnesota portion of the North Shore was settled mostly by the Cree and the Dakota lived to the south.
Pierre-Esprit Radisson
The first white explorer to reach Lake Superior was Frenchman Étienne Brûlé who was sent out by Samuel de Champlain to search for the Northwest Passage in 1623 or 1624.[1] His exploration allowed Champlain to create the first map of the lake in 1632.[1]
Charles Raymbault and Isaac Jogues, Jesuit missionaries, were the next significant explorers, who tried to establish a more permanent missionary post further west but only got as far as Sault Ste. Marie.[2] In 1658 two French explorers, Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Médard des Groseilliers, became the first whites to circumnavigate Lake Superior by sailing south along the North Shore. When they returned, they brought a flotilla of Native Americans with fur pelts, beginning interest in the fur trade in the Lake Superior region.
Conflicts between native tribes began to escalate toward war during this period when an alliance of Anishinaabe tribes was formed and defeated the Ojibwa in a battle west of Sault Sainte Marie in 1662. This warfare between the tribes along Lake Superior prevented European trade in the area for several years.
In 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company was founded, which began the fur trade nonetheless. In the late 1670s, Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut, helped negotiate a more permanent peace between these tribes, thus providing safe trade across Lake Superior for the French. With this, the foundations for European settlement on the North Shore were laid. Fort Kaministiquia, around modern Thunder Bay, was established in 1683. In 1688 Jacques de Noyon became the first European to visit the present-day Boundary Waters Canoe Area region west of Lake Superior.
A war between Britain and France, followed by a sharp drop in fur prices, slowed exploration for several decades. In 1732 the French-Canadian La Vérendrye built Fort St. Pierre on Rainy Lake near the head of the Rainy River in order to gain access to the west.
The Great Hall at Grand Portage
In 1763 according to the terms of the Treaty of Paris, the British took possession of all French holdings east of the Mississippi River, including the North Shore. In 1784 the North West Company, the newly-organized rival to the Hudson's Bay Company, started moving traders into its new fort at Grand Portage. With new headquarters on the North Shore, the North West Company began to build 40 new forts and ports all along the North Shore and northern Minnesota. In 1821 the North West Company was forced to merge with the Hudson's Bay Company.
With the eventual depletion of fur-bearing animals, the fur trade and associated settlement diminished.
Early American settlement
When American settlers moved westward, the governments of the United States and Britain began to dispute the border between the territory that would become Minnesota and the territory which would become Ontario. Many geologic surveys were taken because of these disputes, which revealed the rich mineral resources in this area. In 1854 the LaPointe Treaty ceded all Ojibwa lands to the United States. Because of this white settlers moved into the region in order to mine the natural resources, thus beginning American settlements on the Minnesotan portion of the North Shore. Land claims were made near modern Duluth, Knife River, Beaver Bay, Buchanan, Burlington Bay, French River, Stewart River and Silver Creek. Ninety-nine fishermen had settled in northern Minnesota by 1857, when an economic panic caused most of the claims to be abandoned. In 1865 the Vermilion Lake Gold Rush brought a new wave of settlement to the North Shore.
American settlement began in earnest in 1869. When the Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad was built, people could move across the country in days instead of months. In 1869 Duluth grew from 14 families in January to a population of 3,500 in July. Construction on the Duluth Harbor was started to allow steamboat shipping between Duluth and Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago. The town of Beaver Bay was founded in 1869 as a fishing community, and Grand Marais was founded by Henry Mayhew and Sam Howenstine in 1871. Another panic in 1873 put an end to this growth, and Duluth shrunk to a population of 1,300.
In the 1880s, growth began again in Minnesota, and significant growth began for the first time in Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway was opened in 1881 and brought a wave of settlers from the west. In Minnesota, Two Harbors was founded and became a major iron ore port and a source of labor for the inland iron mines on the North Shore. Besides mining, fishing became the other major industry of North Shore communities. In 1885, 195 commercial fishermen lived in Duluth. Duluth fish catches increased to a peak of 10,000 tons of fish caught in 1915. It has since declined. Current annual fish catches have fallen to under 1,000 tons per year.
One of the engines that took iron ore to Two Harbors. This engine is preserved near the lakeshore in Two Harbors next to the Lake County Historical Society building (which is the old train depot).
In 1875 Philadelphia financier Charlemagne Tower, who owned extensive interests in the Northern Pacific Railroad, began to investigate the possibility of iron mining inland from the North Shore. (Vast quantities of banded-iron formations had been deposited about 2,000 million years ago in the Animikie Group.) Although the scare of 1873 had depressed the price of iron to $5.50 per ton, by the 1880s it was back to about $9.25 per ton. Tower started acquiring land in the Vermilion Range, where ore had an iron content of 69%. Tower also acquired the rights to the Duluth Iron & Railway Co., which entitled him to 10 square miles (26 km2) of land for every mile (1.6 km) of rail built between Duluth and Agate Bay (Two Harbors), 25 miles (40 km) northeast along the shore.
Speculators bought up land at Agate Bay; the rail line was not completed until 1887, so all travel to Agate Bay was originally by steamboat. Between 1884 and 1885 two large wooden loading docks were built in the harbor for shipping iron. In 1887, when the railroad was completed, the Minnesota Iron Company owned 95.7 miles (154.0 km) of track, 26,800 acres (108 km²) of property, 13 locomotives, 340 cars, the loading docks at Two Harbors and five pit mines.

This growth attracted the interest of Henry H. Porter, a Chicago railroad owner. He bought 25,000 acres (100 km²) of land further up the North Shore than Tower's holdings around Two Harbors and Tower, an inland mining settlement named after its founder. Porter coerced Tower into selling the Minnesota Iron Company for 8.5 million dollars. He built Chandler Mine, Pioneer Mine, Zenith Mine, Savoy Mine and Sibley Mine between 1889 and 1899. In 1896 the iron traveling through Two Harbors exceeded 2,000,000 tons. Two Harbors steadily built more docks and replaced the wooden docks with concrete over the course of the next several decades.
Iron production continued steadily for many more decades; by the 1950s traditional iron mines had exhausted most of their resources. It had been known for many years that northern Minnesota had an ore called taconite, which could be refined into iron through a process called beneficiation. A taconite processing plant was built further north along the North Shore at Silver Bay, and it quickly became the major taconite shipping port. Minnesota taconite produces over half of the iron mined in Minnesota at the present date.
Lumber industry
Northern Minnesota is essentially covered with one large forest. Although the potential for a lumber industry was recognized early in the course of European settlement, the distances that it would have to be shipped made it uneconomical. However, in the 1880s Michigan exhausted most of its forests.
With the new branches of the Northern Pacific Railroad running through Duluth, lumber industries moved into Wisconsin and Minnesota. Duluth and Superior began milling large amounts of lumber to be shipped by rail; but in the 1890s, Duluth began shipping logs out across the lake to the east. Lumberjacks in turn began moving north and rafting logs down to Duluth along the lake from Knife River, Castle Danger, Grand Marais and the Pigeon River.
Because of conservation efforts, most of the forests along the North Shore are now protected from deforestation, essentially ending the lumber industry. Duluth had only one remaining lumber mill by 1925, but it still receives shipments of lumber which are used in its paper mills.
In 1855 when a lock system first allowed steamboats onto the lake, rich Americans from the east began to travel onto Lake Superior for recreational purposes. The rich would then canoe or be ferried from Duluth up the North Shore and would stay in hunting and fishing camps.
In the 1920s the North Shore highway was built, which helped make the North Shore accessible by land. At the same time commercial fishermen began to go out of business as catches declined. Many of these fishermen built cabins and resorts, which were inhabited by more rich people on recreational trips. Certain exclusive clubs also bought land for resort and sport purposes. In the far north, the Naniboujou holding company built an exclusive lodge for the rich and famous, which was frequented by, among others, Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey. Further south, a group of Duluth businessmen, the Tettegouche Club, bought 9,346 acres (37.8 km²) of land for use as a private retreat.
During the early-20th century, the government decided that continued exploitation of the North Shore would destroy it. In 1909 Teddy Roosevelt organized the Superior National Forest, putting over 3-million acres (12,000 km²) of the forests between the North Shore and the Canadian border under protection. The government of Minnesota slowly began to acquire the lands which became the modern North Shore state parks. The first park to be formally organized was Jay Cooke State Park in 1915. In the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps established several camps organized along the North Shore and built rustic structures in what would become several North Shore state parks. The North Shore still has the old resorts which were built for the rich, but they have since changed hands to less elitist management.

Shovel Point from Palisade Head; both were formed from lava flows from the Midcontinent Rift.[3]
The North Shore lies on the north side of the Midcontinent Rift System which ran 1,300 miles (2,000 km) northwest from Michigan, through what is now Lake Superior, and southwest again into Kansas.[4] As the granitic crust was torn apart by continental drift, lava flowed out from 30–60 miles (50–100 km) under the crust and formed a basalt crust instead. Tectonic forces were not strong enough to continue to separate the two sides of the continental rift; when the rifting stopped, the lava cooled and the heavy crust sank and was filled with sediment.
During recent glaciations, a large amount of the basalt and sandstone, which erode much more easily than granite, was removed by the glaciers. This formed the rough, rugged shoreline on the North Shore today. As the glaciers retreated, they left behind eroded igneous material, much of which covers the rocky beaches on the North Shore. The Wisconsin side of the basin and the bottom of the basin filled with the residue from the eroded sandstone and thus are sandy beaches today.
The melting water from the retreat of the glaciers ran into the basin and began to fill, forming the Great Lakes. The shoreline at its maximum reached over 500 feet (150 m) above its current height, and at its minimum fell to 250 feet (75 m) below its current level. When the levels of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron fell 2,000 years ago, it created rapids at Sault Sainte Marie, which restricted the release of water from Lake Superior and brought the shoreline to its present level.
The modern shoreline is composed of basalt lava flows. In the south, near Duluth, other materials, such as slate, greywacke and sandstone, are found a short distance inland; however in the north, the entire bedrock made of basalt and gabbro is exposed in patches miles from shore. When the bedrock hits the surface of the lake at a shallow enough angle, the beach is covered with washed up rocks. When it hits the lake at a steep angle, it breaks off and makes sharp cliffs ending at the lake.

To people who camp in the state parks along Minnesota's North Shore, the term North Shore refers to both the shore of the lake and all the rivers which run into the lake. Thus there are numerous "North Shore state parks," most of which are not actually on the lakeshore, and several of which are not even particularly close to it.
Jay Cooke State Park is on the Saint Louis River, which enters into Lake Superior through the Duluth harbor several miles away.
Gooseberry Falls State Park has campgrounds fairly close to Lake Superior, but its main attractions are the five falls on the Gooseberry River and the Gitchi Gummi Trail, which overlooks the north face of the river gorge.
Split Rock Lighthouse State Park is popular for its historic Split Rock Lighthouse. Since the lighthouse is separately run by the Minnesota Historical Society, there is a separate fee for admittance.
Tettegouche State Park lies at the base of the Baptism River and is famous for the high cliffs overlooking Lake Superior. Palisade Head, the highest cliff in Minnesota, is accessible outside the main entrance to the state park, although a slightly smaller area of lake cliffs, Shovel Point, is within the main park.
George H. Crosby Manitou State Park is the only state park on Lake Superior to offer only backpacking campsites, all of which are on the Manitou River at some distance from the lakeshore.
Temperance River State Park has camping very close to the shore of Superior. The main attractions are the falls on the Temperance River.
Cascade River State Park is well known for the seven cascading waterfalls on the Cascade River.
Judge C. R. Magney State Park is the northernmost place along Minnesota's North Shore where people can camp. It contains the Devil's Kettle waterfall on the Brule River. The river splits into two streams right before the waterfall, and one continues down the river while the other disappears into a hole in the rock face of the waterfall called the Kettle.
Grand Portage State Park, which is near but not the same as Grand Portage National Monument, includes the High Falls on the Pigeon River which separates Minnesota and Ontario. Unlike every other state park on Minnesota's North Shore, there are no camping accommodations in this park.
Grand Portage National Monument is home to a reconstruction of a historic fur trading post as well as traditional Ojibwa culture. There is no vehicle-accessible camping in the national monument.

O Gato Preto de Silves, nestling in its green and peaceful countryside of Silves, is ideally located in the middle of the Algarve Way ( Via Algarviana) so that our guests have a wide coiche of day tours: inland, coastal and mountain walks are just few minutes away. To let you enjoy these walks, a comprehensive guide of walking tracks is waiting for you in each room, together with our pre-loaded GPS, so that you will never get lost!
Besides the spectacular and dramatic coastline there is a huge interior with a rich variety of landscape, from the mountains of the Serra de Monchique to rolling foothills interspersed with dramatic limestone escarpments. With the changes in the scenary come variations in the local flora and fauna which combine to make walking here so very interesting. In addition there are still many villages that see very few, if any, tourists, places where the mule and plough still work the land and where laundry is done by hand at the local wash-house.
For our guests we have selected a mix of these walking tracks in order to enjoy the diversity of coastal, inland and mountain landscapes that the Algarve has to offer. Find out more at this very interesting website: http://www.walkalgarve.com/category/algarve-walking-sightseeing-birding-routes
All trails have been carefully selected to suite every needs and difficulty levels, from short walks to more challenging paths.
Several routes start just from our guesthouse, through orange groves and along the banks of the Arade and Odelouca rivers, overlooking gently rolling hills of the inland "barrocal" area between mountain and sea;
Three walks offer the opportunity to watch an unforgettable sunset, along the limestone cliffs carved and shaped by the sea, with stunning views and colours that is so unique in the Algarve;
Trails on Monchique mountains, traveling through green and lush scenery with the sea on the horizon in the distance, offer a more challenging experience;
Also in the winter months there are many paths enjoyable, when almond trees in blossom can be seen alongside groves of deep green orange trees that perfume the air with their unsurpassable scent. Take a look here to discover The ALMOND ROUTE in Algarve.
When is the best period for walking in Algarve?
There is a definitive walking season in this region, largely because of the heat in the sumer months. For those not acclimatised, Late September to the end of May constitute the outer limits of this season. Within this, very warm to hot conditions can be expected in September, October, late April and May, while the remaining five months are warmer then northern European standards, with varying amounts of rain, sometimes heavy and prolonged.
Our selection of tracks mainly follows this three Routes:
The "VIA ALGARVIANA" - Official Website here: THE ALGARVIAN WAY
Marked with signs and interpretive panels, this footpath is known as the "Algarvian Way" and runs across the region from east to west. The path has its origins in an old religious trail followed by pilgrims heading for the Sagres promontory, where the relics of St. Vincent were found. Running from Alcoutim, on the bank of the River Guadiana, to Cape St. Vincent, the 300-kilometre-long path is divided into 14 sections, each beginning and ending in places where its users can stop for lodging and refreshment. Gato Preto de Silves is ideally located in the middle of the Algarvian Way so that our guests have a wide coiche of day tours: inland, coastal and mountain walks are just few minutes away. About halfway along the length of the Algarve Way, the path goes through São Bartolomeu de Messines and continues along the banks of the Ribeira do Arade, offering some truly beautiful views. It then flows through Silves, before you head on to the Serra de Monchique, best known as "The Garden of Algarve", whose breathtaking panoramas are best admired from Picota or Fóia, the highest points in the Algarve. All along the path, you can admire the beauty and aroma of the vegetation, which includes rosemary, lavender, fennel, thyme, rock rose, heather, and even orchids, although these are rarer. The trees and shrubs include arbutus, fig, carob and cork trees, as well as the almond trees that provide the raw material for the region's delicious sweets and liqueurs.
The "ROTA VICENTINA" – Portugal South West Coast
Rota Vicentina is a long distance route of more than 300 km, between Santiago do Cacém and Sagres, along the historical route that once connected main towns and villages and an alternative route by the sea. It is planned for travelers and locals, with the underlying objective to provide the territory with a simple but structured way to enjoy the region and nature, of one of the most beautiful landscapes of Europe.
Rota Vicentina, with its two complementary itineraries, is an open path to travel on foot and get to know one of the best preserved coastlines in all of Europe. On your way you'll cross charismatic small villages and towns, that through its people, traditions and memoirs will help you to grasp the essence of this rural region, with a very unique connection with the sea.
Comprised mainly of rural trails, this is a classic Grand Route (GR), fully accessible to mountain bikes, with stretches of cork tree forests, mountain ranges, valleys, rivers and creeks, in a true journey through time, local culture and nature trails.
Fishermen's Trail
It is a single track along the cliffs which can only be travelled by foot, and more demanding from a physical point of view. A challenge to a permanent contact with the ocean winds, the harsh coastal scenery and the wild and powerful natural landscape.
It comprises a total of 4 sections and 5 complementary circuits.
Distance: 115 km
MONCHIQUE – Mountain and Forest Walks
The picota is the second highest mountain peak in Monchique and offers a rich natural environment, in particular for the flourish flora. As well as a great panoramic view, this highest point hosts a number of Holm Oaks and offers the best climate conditions for butterflies-watching due to the "hill-topping" fenomena that carachterize this species.
Following this path you will discover fantastic views, easely coming across sveral bird species like: eagles, hawk (race Pemis), goshawk (race Milvus), jays (Garrulus glandarius), Nightingale ( Luscinia megarhynchos) and the Common Blackbird. Furthermore you can find the Genet (Genetta hispanica), Least weasel (Mustela nivalis), Red fox (Vulpes silacea) and batterflies (Polygonum c-album). The most careful tourist could observe the signs of a wild boar (Sus scrofa).
This trail starting at Caldas de Monchique (Monchique Hot Springs) offers to its visitors the opportunity to go up to the highest peak of the Picota Mountain where they will be delighted by the open landscape over the Algarve Litoral. The slopes are covered by different kind of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis and Lavandula luisiera) as well as the Kermes Oak (Quercus coccifera) and myrtle (Myrtus communis).
On Picota slopes it's also easy to find the local vegetation resulting from the sub-tropical mountain climate, like evergrenn oak tree (Quercus suber), Sweet Chestnut or Marron (Castanea sativa), and the most famous Strawberry Tree, sometimes called Cane Apple (Arbutus unedo) from which the local people produce the Medronho Grappa (strong liquor), the Downy Oak or Pubescent Oak (Quercus humilis) and some exotic plants lile the Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus) and the silver wattle (Acacia dealbata).
During the path you could also find vegetation of Holm Oaks and on the southest part of the Picota peak a rocky moorland rich of junypers ((Juniperus turbinata) e species of of rock-dwelling ferns (lip ferns)

Natalia Nikonorova commented Kurt Volker's statement
The representative of the US State Department in Ukraine, Kurt Volker, confirmed the desire of the United States, and, consequently, of Ukraine, to disavow Minsk agreements and disrupt the peaceful negotiation process. Mr. Volker has repeatedly proved himself a supporter of the most destructive and counterproductive initiatives against Donbass. It is not surprising that this time the special envoy of the US State Department supports the plan, not understood and not supported, even by the OSCE and the UN, and which is fundamentally contradicts provisions of the Package of Measures. It is quite obvious that behind the so-called "Sajdik plan" there were initially US interests that deliberately lead the negotiation process to a dead end, prolonging conflict at the borders of Russia and continue to exert pressure on it.
The main idea of "Sajdik plan" and Poroshenko's statements on the UN operation in Donbass also raise suspicions that both have one authorship. Attempts to promote the destructive ideas of Kiev and their overseas curators have nothing to do with the implementation of the Minsk agreements and directly contradict them. The only one method of political settlement remains the direct and rigorous implementation of the Package of Measures, which primarily involves the coordination with the Republics of any initiatives to resolve the conflict.
Kiev should not call to "modernization of Minsk agreements", but to implement them in current form – Natalia Nikonorova

The American National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) has granted Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. an Outstanding Achievement Award for the development of "Iron Dome".
The combination of all of these elements resulted in the successful completion of the development phase and the delivery of the first operational battery from the production line within a record time of less than three years.
Yossi Druker, Head of Rafael's Air-to-Air and air-Defense Directorate thanked Rafael's Iron Dome team of scientists and engineers and praised them for their outstanding achievement. "Rafael has been blessed with extraordinary people, who, together with teams from the Israeli MoD, from other Israeli industries and from the IDF, worked day and night and developed an unparalleled life-saving system," Druker stated.
This Outstanding Achievement Award joins other commendations that Rafael has received from the US Government in the last few years, such as commendations citing its armor for successfully protecting U.S Army and U.S Marine troops in the war in Iraq, saving the lives of many American service men, as well as commendations from other governments around the world.

I don't have a lot that I don't use, although a few just barely make the once a year cutoff. I've gotten lazy and used bottled garlic for a while, but with what I have leftover from my CSA I may have to dig out the garlic press. It's possible I gave away the tortilla press. It was a gift I think I tried using just once.
Not on this list, but just used once a year, is our trifle dish. But that's because chocolate trifle at Christmas is a necessity!
