Movies You Missed & More: The Killer Inside Me
by Margot Harrison
This week in movies you missed: a mostly faithful version of Jim Thompson's pulp classic about a sociopath hiding in plain sight.
Everybody in the Texas town of Central City likes Lou Ford (Casey Affleck). He's such a nice, clean-cut, soft-spoken young man — a sheriff's deputy who doesn't even carry a gun. Sure, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and his corny remarks get on your nerves, but he's a good guy.
They don't know that Lou Ford has a pretty kinky thing going on with the prostitute (Jessica Alba) who lives on the edge of town. They don't know his slowness is an act. They don't see him letting off steam by putting out his cigar in a bum's palm.
They don't know that Lou Ford has a plan to avenge himself on an old enemy (Ned Beatty) that happens to entail a vicious, cold-blooded double murder. And then another murder, and another.
Why You Missed It
British director Michael Winterbottom (The Trip, A Mighty Heart) helmed this 2010 adaptation, which made it to 19 U.S. theaters. (Find it on Netflix Instant, DVD, etc.)
Probable reason for the small release: The protagonist is an evil bastard. Unlike the stylized violence in American Psycho, the murders in this film are horrific, plain and simple.
Should You Keep Missing It?
Well, first of all, you should read Jim Thompson. If you like your noir extra noir, with a big serving of unhinged narrators, he is the man.
I watched The Killer Inside Me immediately after finishing the 1952 novel. It's generally considered Thompson's best, with good reason. First, it's surprisingly modern in its depiction of Lou's demented psyche. Second, his terse, sardonic narrative is a thing of beauty. Third, certain scenes are just begging to be put on film.
So I don't know why Winterbottom chose to skip right over the climax of one of those scenes. Perhaps he thought it would be too crass, too over the top, Tarantino-esque. (Thompson was surely an influence on Tarantino and the Coens.)
The rest of the film sticks very close to the plot of the book, even when doing so is bound to confuse the viewer. (It's a plot that requires us to piece a puzzle together.) As an adaptation, it's not bad. Yet I think someone who hasn't read the book is unlikely to gather from the film why it's considered a classic.
The good: Casey Affleck is creepy. Like, super-creepy. Forget his brother Ben, who doesn't have a sinister bone in his body. This performance makes us understand exactly why people underestimate Lou and why they shouldn't.
The bad: For some reason, the script omits a key to understanding Lou's character. In voiceover, he tells us that he must kill the prostitute, even though he loves her. But he doesn't explain why.
In the book, Lou blames the prostitute and other women for arousing his sadistic sexual desires (which he calls "the sickness"). Thompson makes it clear that his hatred and terror of his own impulses (which spring from childhood abuse) are the deeper motives for everything he does.
That level of insight gets lost in the movie, so we don't understand why the murders are so gratuitously violent. The story may come off as misogynist, when it's really a cold dissection of misogyny by a misanthropist.
The worse: Jessica Alba as a jaded, gun-toting "hustlin' lady." She does her best, but dewy-faced starlets belong nowhere near the world of Thompson.
The surprisingly not bad: Kate Hudson as Lou's schoolteacher sweetheart, who (of course) isn't as innocent as she seems. It sounds like disaster casting, but she absorbs the gritty atmosphere and leaves her rom-com perkiness behind.
Verdict: I so wish the Coens had done this adaptation. They might have made a classic. But, if you can stomach the book's darkness, Winterbottom's version is worth checking out.
In Theaters This Week
A big hunka nothing ... unless you want to see a belated three-quel in the Riddick series (remember Vin Diesel's real breakthrough role?).
Or unless you feel like taking a jaunt to the Savoy — there you could see In a World..., which looks pretty fun.

Could value-style approaches do well in the current market environment? The universe of UK smaller company investment trusts using private equity techniques to evaluate listed companies once consisted solely of Strategic Equity Capital (SEC). It has proliferated however, and now also includes Gresham House Strategic (GHS) and Odyssean (OIT), both of which are managed by former managers of Strategic Equity Capital.
I usually lump Aurora (ARR) investment trust into this category as well. Like the others, its managers take a long-term value approach, conduct very detailed research on the companies they are interested in and operate with a very concentrated portfolio.
The types of company that these trusts buy are unlikely to include the high growth, highly valued 'stars' of the UK small cap market that have dominated performance league tables for the last few years. However, in the current market, where nervous investors are taking profits and the technology sector appears to be slumping, these investment companies are coming into their own. GHS tops the performance tables for the AIC's UK Smaller Companies sector over a year and Aurora is first quartile in the UK All companies sector.

Brian Williams Berates Dems From Left: Lack 'Guts' to 'Pack or Alter' SCOTUS
December 4th, 2021 6:42 PM
Despite all the talk on MSNBC about norms and institutions, Brian Williams used Friday's edition of The 11th Hour to criticize Democrats for talking tough, but not having the "guts" to "pack or alter" the Supreme Court in light on the Court hearing oral arguments on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization earlier in the week.
After playing a clip of Justice Sotomayor's "stench" comments, Williams hyped the remark as a "dramatic point" that has led to "renewed rumblings that Democrats might consider making changes to the Supreme Court. The Washington Post reporting it this way, 'This week's Supreme Court argument on abortion has accelerated an urgency among Senate Democrats to fundamentally alter how the court operates fueled in part by lingering anger over Republican confirmation maneuvers that have led to three new conservative justices in the past four years.'"
Williams then introduced his guests, Democratic strategist Don Calloway and MSNBC political analyst and strategist Susan Del Percio. Turning to Del Percio, he asked, "[W]ho thinks that a party that was clowned into putting Kavanaugh and Barrett on the Court, that still acts as if McConnell is in charge of the filibuster, is going to gather the votes, the guts, and the ability to somehow pack or alter in any way the Supreme Court?"
At least Williams stopped referring to Del Percio as a Republican, because nothing else he said makes sense. He makes it seem as if Democrats were tricked into confirming Kavanaugh and Barrett, but, in the real world, they opposed both and just did not have enough votes to sink their nominations. He also appears to be oblivious to the fact that if Democrats use their majority to "pack or alter" the Court, there is nothing stopping Republicans from doing the same thing in 2025.
Del Percio answered by sardonically declaring, "Well, now that I hear there is an urgency from Senate Democrats to do it, I know they will write a strongly worded op-ed for several major newspapers and make their anger known and then do absolutely nothing because there is nothing they can do. That sentence at the beginning of that Washington Post piece could've gone to anything, whether it be voting rights, police reform, gun safety reform."
She urged Democrats "to stop saying we want to break the filibuster, we want to change it this way, because they are not doing it and they are just reminding the public right now how dysfunctional things are. I actually want the Democrats to stay in control because they are governing and they believe in democracy. But they have to stop wanting to face defeat and look for victories."
Oddly enough, it was Mississippi that was fighting for democracy and the rights of legislators in front of the Court and the filibuster has nothing to do with Williams and progressives' court packing schemes.

The 11th Hour with Brian Williams
BRIAN WILLIAMS: To that dramatic point this week from Justice Sotomayor, there are renewed rumblings that Democrats might consider making changes to the Supreme Court. The Washington Post reporting it this way, "This week's Supreme Court argument on abortion has accelerated an urgency among Senate Democrats to fundamentally alter how the court operates fueled in part by lingering anger over Republican confirmation maneuvers that have led to three new conservative justices in the past four years." Two of our friends are back with us tonight. Don Calloway, Democratic strategist, founder of the National Voter Protection Action Fund and Susan Del Percio, MSNBC political analyst and a veteran political strategist. Good evening to you both. Susan, this is a layup shot for you. Let me put it this way, who thinks that a party that was clowned into putting Kavanaugh and Barrett on the Court, that still acts as if McConnell is in charge of the filibuster, is going to gather the votes, the guts, and the ability to somehow pack or alter in any way the Supreme Court?
SUSAN DEL PERCIO: Well, now that I hear there is an urgency from Senate Democrats to do it, I know they will write a strongly worded op-ed for several major newspapers and make their anger known and then do absolutely nothing because there is nothing they can do. That sentence at the beginning of that Washington Post piece could've gone to anything, whether it be voting rights, police reform, gun safety reform. You have to -- it's critical that the Democrats now take on the fights they can win. They have to stop saying we want to break the filibuster, we want to change it this way, because they are not doing it and they are just reminding the public right now how dysfunctional things are. I actually want the Democrats to stay in control because they are governing and they believe in democracy. But they have to stop wanting to face defeat and look for victories.
Susan Del Percio

Die kirchliche Jurisdiktion oder Jurisdiktion in geistlichen Angelegenheiten bezeichnet die Rechts- und Verwaltungshoheit eines Ordinarius in seiner Partikularkirche (Jurisdiktionsgebiet). Der Codex Juris Canonici verwendet anstelle des früheren Ausdrucks "Jurisdiktionsgewalt" regelmäßig den Begriff "Leitungsgewalt" und unterteilt diese in die gesetzgebende, ausführende und richterliche Gewalt. Von der Jurisdiktionsgewalt ist die Weihegewalt des Bischofs zu unterscheiden. Beide Gewalten können unabhängig voneinander bestehen, auch wenn sie sich im Regelfall gegenseitig bedingen. Die vom Klerus ausgeübten Weihe- und Leitungsbefugnis wird oft als Kirchengewalt oder potestas sacra bezeichnet.

Jurisdiktion
In den vorreformatorischen Kirchen übt jeder Vorsteher (Papst, Diözesanbischof, Patriarch) einer Diözese die unmittelbare Jurisdiktion über seine (Teil-)Kirche aus. Er hat die alleinige Leitungsgewalt inne. Man unterscheidet dem Grade nach die Jurisdiktion eines Diözesanbischofs und die patriarchale Jurisdiktion eines Patriarchen.

Patriarchale Jurisdiktion
Die patriarchale Jurisdiktion leitet sich her von den fünf altkirchlichen Patriarchaten (Rom, Konstantinopel, Antiochien, Alexandria, Jerusalem), die gemeinsam die damalige Weltkirche bildeten, wobei jeder Patriarch in seinem Patriarchat die alleinige Rechts-, Verwaltungs- und Lehrhoheit innehatte. Ein Patriarch steht an der Spitze der Hierarchie seiner Kirche; es gibt daher keine Hierarchie unter Patriarchen, kein Patriarch steht über einem anderen Patriarchen. Ausgenommen davon sind protokollarische Ehrenvorränge.
Patriarchen in diesem Sinne sind auch Ordinarien mit kirchlichem Titel Katholikos, den sie statt oder zusätzlich zum Patriarchentitel tragen.

Ein Patriarch kann traditionell in seinem Gebiet patriarchale Synoden abhalten, Bischöfe und andere Ordinarien ernennen, Bistümer und Bistumsgrenzen festlegen, Kirchengesetze aufstellen und Kirchenrecht auslegen.

Von den eigentlichen Patriarchen mit Jurisdiktion sind die Titular-Patriarchen ohne Jurisdiktion zu unterscheiden.

Römisch-katholische Kirche
Die Jurisdiktion des Papstes wurde im Ersten Vatikanischen Konzil 1870 festgelegt, indem der Papstprimat als höchste innerkirchliche Rechtsgewalt (Jurisdiktionsprimat) – neben der höchsten Lehrvollmacht – im Dogma definiert wurde. Es fand Niederschlag im Kanon § 1399 und löste den Bismarckschen Kulturkampf aus. Alle Patriarchen, Bischöfe und Gläubige waren und sind gemäß dem Dogma dem Jurisdiktionsprimat des Papstes als Leiter der Weltkirche unterworfen. Das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil bestätigte in seiner dogmatischen Konstitution Lumen gentium über die Kirche diesen Vorrang: "Der Bischof von Rom hat nämlich kraft seines Amtes als Stellvertreter Christi und Hirt der ganzen Kirche volle, höchste und universale Gewalt über die Kirche und kann sie immer frei ausüben." Das Bischofskollegium ist jedoch gemeinsam mit dem Papst "und niemals ohne dieses Haupt gleichfalls Träger der höchsten und vollen Gewalt über die ganze Kirche"; diese Gewalt kann jedoch nur unter Zustimmung des Papstes ausgeübt werden.(Lumen gentium Nr. 22)

Heute gibt es neben dem altkirchlichen Patriarchat von Rom mit dem Papst als Patriarchen der Westkirche ("Patriarch des Abendlandes", "Patriarch des Okzidents" – dieser Titel wird allerdings seit Papst Benedikt XVI. nicht mehr offiziell geführt) das Lateinische Patriarchat von Jerusalem (Jurisdiktion über Palästina und Zypern) sowie die sechs Patriarchate der mit Rom unierten Ostkirchen (Jurisdiktion über die Gläubigen des jeweiligen Ritus). Alle anderen Patriarchate oder Patriarchen sind titular. Das Griechisch-melkitische Patriarchat gliedert sich auf in drei Patriarchalsitze, die anderen haben jeweils nur einen Sitz.

Die hoheitliche Gewalt des Papstes über die gesamte Weltkirche kann nicht durch den Patriarchentitel ausgedrückt werden (s. o.); diese Funktion wird erkennbar durch den Titel Stellvertreter Christi (lat. vicarius christi).

Die patriarchale Jurisdiktionsgewalt ist mit den einzelnen patriarchalen Teilkirchen unterschiedlich geregelt. Ein Patriarch benötigt teilweise die Bestätigung seiner Rechtshandlungen durch den Papst.

Avalanche on Scotland's Ben Nevis kills one climber and injures another
A mountain rescue team and a helicopter were sent to help two male climbers

An avalanche on the north face of Ben Nevis has killed one man and injured another.
Police Scotland said they were made aware of the avalanche at around 3.35pm on Friday.
The Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and a helicopter were dispatched to help two male climbers who were in the area at the time.
'Christmas miracle' as skiers found alive after Austrian avalanche
A 48-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene and a 40-year-old was taken to Belford Hospital in Fort William for treatment. Next of kin have been informed.
The mountain rescue team posted an update on the incident on its Facebook page, saying the men were found at number two gully on the north face of the mountain.
"Sadly one had sustained fatal injuries and the other was seriously injured after a slide of 600 metres (approximately)," it said.
"With the weather creating some challenging conditions the helicopter was limited to the assistance it could offer.
"This meant that we had an extended extrication of the casualties and 8 hours after the initial call we delivered the casualty to the Belford Hospital for further assessment and treatment.
"At this time, our thoughts are with the families of both involved."

This paper investigates the underlying causes of financial mismanagement in public schools and focuses on the perceptions of various role players in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The various Departments of Basic Education in South Africa allocate funds to schools each year, and expect school principals and school governing bodies to manage it appropriately. The problem is that in some schools, the principals, teachers and school governing body members are perpetrators of various financial mismanagement activities related to financial mismanagement. This article reports on qualitative research used to arrive at an in-depth understanding of why financial mismanagement occurs in certain schools. For this purpose, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with principals, finance officers and departmental officials and analysed thematically. The findings revealed a lack of knowledge of legislation and skills, poor monitoring and control of funds, unavailability of financial policies in schools, omission to act against culprits, and lack of honesty, openness and trustworthiness. The article proposes remedies that might bring financial management in public schools in line with the principles of good governance.

You don't have to be around kids long to realize how much they love to collect things. You name it, they'll collect it: baseball cards, video games, comic books, dolls, coins, seashells, rocks and more. That's why it was sheer genius a few years ago when the Center for Disease Control issued their first set of infectious disease trading cards. Yep, that's what I said. Infectious disease trading cards.
Collect all of your favorites! West Nile Virus! Avian Flu! Tuberculosis! Lyme Disease! Oh, and don't forget the rare salmonellosis. I heard his rookie card went for big money on E-bay last year.
Just imagine the conversations on the playground once kids get their hands on these.
I'm not making this up. You can go to the CDC website and download your own set of cards as a PDF. They come with disgusting pictures and everything. Apparently the CDC uses them to help educate kids about the dangers of these diseases and how to prevent them.
As great of an idea as this is, I don't think I'd want them sitting out on my coffee table. If my kids start collecting these cards, we will definitely have a rule that they have to keep their infectious diseases quarantined in their room. I guess there are just some things it doesn't seem like a good idea to collect.
Sometimes we all hold onto things we shouldn't. Think of how many of us carry around past wounds, insecurities, fears, bitterness, guilt, shame or regret. It's like we collect these things and are reluctant to part with them as if they had some kind of value. They are our own personal spiritual diseases, and they infect every part of our lives.
It's probably a good question for all of us who need to surrender some things that are holding us back.
Maybe today's the day we lay down what's been infecting our hearts and tell Jesus, "Yeah, I do want to get well." – Click to Tweet.
From there we just let God handle the rest and lead us to health one step at a time.
If you want to collect something, you're welcome to pick up your own copy of the CDC's trading cards. As gross as they are, they're definitely better than the junk we sometimes carry around in our hearts. For myself, I think I'll just grab a book of stamps. They may not prevent a global pandemic but at least I can leave them out on my coffee table.

On Stage, Plays, The Arts, Theater
Ernest Kearney
Abigail/1702 by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has received its West Coast premiere at Long Beach's International City Theatre. As usual, the production is top quality.
caryn desai, the artistic director and firm hand at the helm of ICT, directs with clarity and craft.
The set by Christopher Scott Murillo is both intriguing and evocative of an early time in America when a dark, primeval forest still held the continent in its ancient grip.
ICT is a stunningly beautiful venue to work on and always attracts actors of standing and talent.
Jennifer Cannon as Abigail is solid and believable in her remorse. Kevin Bailey who originated the role of Scar in The Lion King fills his double duties in this production with skill and profundity.
Michelle Holmes, who was such a delight in the Young Frankenstein at DOMA, cannot be faulted in the fine performance she gives here.
Jace Febo has great presence for one so young, and Ross Hellwig performs well with his shirt off.
Forgive me, but there is not too much I can say here, because there is not much of a play to say anything about.
Abigail/1702 is Aguirre-Sacasa's sequel to Arthur Miller's Crucible, picking up ten years after the Salem witch trials to reveal the fate of Abigail Williams the young girl whose accusation of witchcraft led to the death of 20 people.
Historically the fate of Abigail Williams is not known. Court records of the time place her last testimony in the infamous trials on June 3, 1692. After that she disappears from history.
Rumors abound. That she ran off to Boston and died a prostitute there. That she hanged herself years later out of guilt. That she remained in Salem and died unmarried. Most accounts place 1697 as the year of her death but even that is questionable.
Aguirre-Sacasa has imagined her later life as one of remorse and searching for redemption.
Whether The Crucible requires a sequel is not the question, nor the problem here.
The problem here is that if The Crucible is given a sequel it damn well better be the one it deserves, and Abigail/1702 is far from that.
Aguirre-Sacasa's other works include Spider-man:Turn Off the Dark, The Dracula Cycle and a musical adaption of Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho— "Forgive that slight gurgling it's me trying to stifle my lunch from launching into a "Technicolor yawn"—!
This from a graduate of the Yale School of Drama no less, but whatever his back ground Aguirre-Sacasa's Abigail/1702fails on a number of levels.
Jennifer Cannon, Kevin Bailey (Photo by Suzanne Mapes)
First and foremost it betrays Miller's intention in his work.
In The Crucible there are no witches, no spirits and certainly no devil. Reflecting his own times, when McCarthyism was at its height and the "Red Scare" was ruining lives and turning the country against itself, Miller wanted to show that evil only exists when we allow fear to guide our actions and dull our judgment.
The great influence of the historical trials on the subsequent development of America was in revealing the dangers inherit in allowing religious establishments to control civic government.
This country was founded by religious sects who fled persecution in order that they might enjoy the freedom to practice their religion and the freedom to persecute who they wanted.
Had history taken another route this country could have developed along the lines of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, where a specific religion is soaked into a specific region and the concept of the separation of church and state is held in contempt.
That, fortunately, was not to be the case in this country, for to quote the historian George Lincoln Burr, "…Salem witchcraft was the rock on which the theocracy shattered."
In Abigail/1702 the devil makes an appearance, and in this way Aguirre-Sacasa betrays Burr's historical fact and Miller's intent.
It could be argued that the devil doesn't really appear in Aguirre-Sacasa's play, that he's just a figment of Abigail's guilt lashed imagination. If this is correct then Aguirre-Sacasa must again be faulted for not clarifying this.
Even if these flaws are overlooked, there is still a larger criticism looming over Abigail/1702, which is that it was conceived as a gimmick play, and never rose above that level.

Altogether 137 species of polypores were identified, based on specimens collected from the Guangxi Autonomous Region, southern China. A checklist of the polypores with collection data is supplied. Three new species, Junghuhnia flabellata H.S. Yuan & Y.C. Dai, Rigidoporus fibulatus H.S. Yuan & Y.C. Dai and Trechispora suberosa H.S. Yuan & Y.C. Dai, are described and illustrated. Junghuhnia flabellata is characterized by its fiabelliform basidiocarps, small pores and small basidiospores, and skeletoystidia mostly present in dissepiments. Rigidoporus fibulatus is characterized by ceraceous to cartilaginous basidiocarps, clamp connections on generative hyphae and broadly ellipsoid to subglobose basidiospores. Trechispora suberosa is a poroid species with corky basidiocarps, ovoid to subglobose basidiospores with a finely echinulate ornamentation, and the absence of crystals on hyphae.Altogether 137 species of polypores were identified, based on specimens collected from the Guangxi Autonomous Region, southern China.

A Bible, an old Encyclopedia and Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce were used as book molds. Some of the collages are shown here.
Syndrome of the Suspicion: Doubt and Relativism
The exasperated -and to some extent understandable- rejection to the scientistic absolutism of the Western rationalist tradition and its excesses, has become, among contemporaries, a philosophical transvestism whose doxa, circumstantial, untenable and contradictory, reduces the praxis of thinking to a mere narration.The tendency to subjectify in a superlative degree has been installed in society and has become an imperative of hyper-gnostic cultural relativism that pushes us to renounce the capacity to disagree by virtue of a radical skepticism. Thus, doubt and critical thinking (uncertainty as the starting point of the cognitive process) have become, then, a thought of eternal doubt (a plot behind the plot)… a paranoid syndrome of the suspicion.
Bárbaro Martínez-Ruiz (Art critic, curator and historian. Stanford University, USA) wrote for the catalog of this exhibition:

Hola. Soy el artista ¿En qué puedo ayudarte?


It would be safe to say we have hit the ground running here in the Boston area. The last few weeks have provided ministry opportunities as well as training seminars for church planters and I've not been shy about participating in as much as I can get my hands on.
A group of Southern Baptist church leaders including the SBC president Dr Ronnie Floyd came to Boston in September and encouraged the church planters here. It proved to be a profitable time beyond the initial fellowship as from it developed a number of contacts with influence in and around Boston. I've made a personal connection with the President of the Greater Boston Baptist Association (GBBA) as well as with the Southern Baptist chaplain for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus. The latter connection led to a last-minute involvement with an apologetics conference not far from the MIT and Harvard campuses in Cambridge.
Here is a pic of the church in Cambridge where the conference took place.
The conference included Christians in various fields of science from engineering to biology while I joined a few other pastors for one of the seminars covering the resurrection of Christ. I'm certainly looking forward to building upon these connections and ministering as The Lord leads going forward, perhaps even on the campus of MIT (picture below).
Their vision is to plant churches around the 32 major cities of North America and their training and equipping strategies are above and beyond almost anything else out there. Truly inspiring, and below you can see a pic of a small starter pack we received in the mail. We are very blessed.
Then last week we attended the Church Planting Essentials Conference held at the Baptist Convention of New England's campus in Northborough, MA. Here we gained strategic and practical training for church planting.
Perhaps the greatest benefit however were the friendships made with other church planters in New England. Here are a couple of pics of some of the faces and families of those who have followed God's call to New England to plant churches, evangelize the lost, and make disciples.
People have come from all over the country, and some from foreign countries, to reach the lost in America's Northeast. To give you an idea of the level of spiritual need here, in our community of Quincy, which has a population over 93,000 individuals, recent government statistics indicate the percentage of the population who attend a Gospel-preaching, evangelical, Biblically faithful church to be less than 1%. That's LESS than 1% in case you misread that or thought it was a typo.
So there is a big need and we are just getting started!
We want to sign off by saying how blessed we are by your prayers and support to church plant in Quincy. Without your involvement it simply would not be possible. So thank you. Truly. Thank you.
We will continue to lift you all before The Lord and if you would ever like to come out and see what your support has made possible, you are welcome to stay with us.


The proven mechanical pencil TK-Fine is ideally suited to precise drawing. The smooth, flared metal grip section gives this pencil a low center of balance for improved tip control. Choose between three line thicknesses: the 0.3mm lead for extra fine drawing, the 0.5mm lead for fine drawing, the 0.7 mm lead for particularly break-resistant drawing. The rigid lead guidance is ideal for precise ruler-based drawing. Equipped with along twist-mechanism eraser. The push-button top is color-coded to easily identify the line width when switching between pencils. Measures 6".


South Australian public transport users will be able to access weekly performance statistics for Adelaide Metro services from today.
Historically, Adelaide Metro has only published quarterly statistics, and often published them late.
Transport Minister Stephen Mullighan said the change would make the public transport services more accountable.
"Until now it has been common practice to publish statistics quarterly, but by increasing the frequency we are aiming to be more open and accountable to our passengers," he said.
"This is a good first step for giving people up-to-date information and performance of the public transport system, and over time we would hope that we could provide more detail for each of the modes of transport and service areas.
The statistics will give weekly updates on the percentage of buses, trains and trams running on-time.
Train statistics will be further broken down into figures on the Outer Harbour, Seaford, Gawler and Belair train lines, while bus performance statistics will be broken down by operator, showing the respective performance of Southlink (outer south, outer north and hills services), Light City Bus (north-south and outer north east services) and Torrens Transit (east-west services).
Opposition transport spokesperson Corey Wingard told InDaily he had been calling for more frequent public transport performance data since he took on the role.
He said quarterly reporting on public transport performance was sometimes six months late.
"More information for the consumer is a very good thing," he said.
"I'm very keen on this.
"And I'm glad that the government has heeded my advice.
Wingard called on the government to consult with other states and territories about public transport performance standards, which he said were measured inconsistently across the country.
"There's no uniform measure to compare our on-time running to that of other states," he said.
He said inconsistent signalling systems were reducing the efficiency of Adelaide's train network.
The first weekly statistics published on the Adelaide Metro website show the Belair train line has underperformed in on-time running compared to all other train lines.
It achieved an 85.5 per cent on-time running score, while the other lines ran on-time between 91 and 94 per cent of the time.
The definition of an on-time service, according to Adelaide Metro, is no more than four minutes and 59 seconds late for buses and no more than five minutes and 59 seconds late for tram and bus services.
Wingard said the government should look at how it measures on-time performance, but would not commit to changing the definition of 'on-time' should the Liberal Party win government.
The latest train, bus and tram service figures, released in February showed each mode of transport performed slightly better in 2014 than in 2013.
Feedback on services can be given Adelaide Metro's online customer satisfaction survey.


"My husband's 85 year old mom was watching your show. As Gordon Robertson talked she suddenly claimed her healing and got it.
She had back pain for 14 years after spinal fusion surgery failed to correct her problems. In constant pain since that time, she took medication to cope. She was forced to use a walker.
She shared about this miraculous healing, which her son initially did not believe. She is literally a new person. She is in her mid 80s!
"I had been having pains in my left toe since February. The pain grew worse and unbearable to the point that I was limping, so I went to my doctor. He concluded that I had gout, a form of arthritis. Tests confirmed that I had gout. I started using the prescribed medicines but the illness grew worse. The pains spread throughout my foot and then to my knee.
That led to a visit to a second doctor, who was shocked at the at the amount of medication I was taking. I believed God wanted me to stop using these medicines. However, I do have one painkiller that I still use…It's Supernatural!
I decided to watch several past episodes by Gordon Robertson, James Goll, LaDonna Taylor and James Durham. I took two tablets and prayed with the guests in each of these episodes. There was terrible pain in my knee and foot as I prayed along, such that I have never felt before.
"I gave a mentoring DVD to a friend. My friend's daughter happened to watch it — she was scheduled for a knee operation.
"…you gave a word of knowledge an electrical problem in the heart was being healed. You said you didn't even understand what that meant.
I did. My heart condition included such a problem, for which I'd taken medication daily for the past 13 years or so. I had a dull pain on the left side of my chest due to a blockage. At times my heart and pulse would race up to 165 pulses per minute (the electrical problem).
"I had been exhausted and aching terribly, even losing my hair. Blood tests said I had extreme hypothyroidism. My aching turned to burning, horrible pain. I could not sleep.
"I'm in a one man cell from medical problems I've had for over 20 years, and also to keep other inmates away from me. One good thing is I have a TV to watch 24/7. I watch your programs…for over 7 months now.
I've never asked Jesus in to my heart and life, so I said to myself, "What do I have to lose if all you say is true?" I prayed with you and cried for over an hour. And something else happened to me. For over 2 hours I felt warm and very hot all over my body, from my head to my feet. I started feeling great all over, and all the medical problems I've had for over 20 years were gone.
I don't know what happened to me but I felt like a new man. I told my doctor. He said he didn't know what happened, but it was like I never had a medical problem at all. He took me off all my medications!
"I was diagnosed with bladder cancer and had completed a series of chemo treatments.
About a year ago I was watching your program and your guest said that when he blew the shofar all forms of cancer had to leave when we touched the cancerous part of our body as he was blowing the shofar.
Every week since January I have submitted a prayer request for healing from lupus for Brittany [a friend]. It's now July. This past Wednesday, she went back to the doctor. He proclaimed, "All your bloodwork and tests are NORMAL and I cannot find anything wrong. I'm not sure what happened…." Praise God! Thank-you, Jesus!!
"There was something wrong with mother's neck, nerve damage. She was not able to lift her hand for many years. Doctors said there was no hope.
One day she said, "Can you imagine what happened a couple of days ago? I was watching Sid Roth's It's Supernatural!" She felt God told her what Sid was going to say was for her. Sid described someone with her exact problem. He said God was healing her right then and to lift up her arm. Immediately she was healed.
"I had never expected to be healed until I watched your show. I started watching whenever I could find the show on and started truly believing and expecting a miracle.
Then in February 2010, on Friday the 12th, I experienced pain in my neck. Fearing that I was possibly having heart symptoms (heart disease is in my family), I went to a hospital emergency room closest to my workplace.
They decided to do a CT scan. While I was in the middle of the test I could feel myself having a stroke. I called out, "Jesus, help me I'm scared." The doctors immediately stopped the test and brought me back to the emergency room. There my boyfriend prayed over me. Even though my speech was now slurred and my left hand was curled up, I just knew I would be okay. A neurologist then came in the room. WHILE HE WAS TALKING TO ME my speech cleared, and when he asked me to squeeze his hand with my left hand, I found I could!
The paralysis had ceased, and all the other symptoms vanished as well. They did another scan; this time they found damage about the size of an M&M candy and called it a miracle. Each specialist said I should have had a total brain bleed, but it was as if the bleeding was cauterized and stopped.
I credit Jesus with this, and after 2 years, am now totally free of symptoms. I am a walking and talking testimony of the love the Lord has for me. I want to credit your show because without it I'm not even sure I would have known I could be healed this way.
"I have listened to [your Healing CD] every day, for about 4 months. I had an acute case of asthma and had been coughing up mucus for over a year.

154,000 Black Women Left The Workforce In December Alone
Since the pandemic started, all women have been hurting, but women of color most of all.

Senior Reporter, HuffPost
Jan 12, 2021, 05:45 AM EST | Updated Jan 12, 2021
Tonya Hughes, 48, needed to stop working so she could take care of her son and help him with virtual school.

Tonya Hughes, a single mother in Rockville, Maryland, and a longtime substitute teacher, hasn't worked since March 13, when her state first announced shutdowns because of the coronavirus.
Previously, she'd worked for 10 years as a substitute, making about $18 an hour. Now, like so many women around the country, Hughes is at home with her son, a second grader with a learning disability who needs help with virtual school.
The 48-year-old could go back to work, remotely, and teach over Zoom. But she can't juggle supporting her son's school day while running a classroom full of other kids at the same time, she said. "Do I take my son out of school so I can get my work done?" she asked, rhetorically.
Maybe she could get another job, outside the home after school, if she had child care. But Hughes is a single mother with no one to fall back on if she contracts COVID-19. "If I get sick, if anything happens to me, forget it. Who's going to take care of my child?" she asked. For now, the two of them are at home — only leaving to take the bus to the grocery store or walk over to the school, which provides free grab n' go lunches.
Faced with shaky job prospects across so many industries and often with children home for virtual school, many women have simply given up on the idea of working. All told, 2.1 million women have left the workforce since this pandemic started, compared to nearly 1.7 million men.
In December, as coronavirus cases surged in the U.S., that dynamic got worse, according to data released by the Labor Department last Friday. All of the 140,000 jobs lost in December were held by women, according to the new data. Meanwhile, American men gained 16,000 jobs that same month.
And though the pandemic has hurt all women, women of color are bearing the brunt of the pain. "The December job loss was definitely concentrated among Black and Hispanic women. No question," said Heidi Shierholz, an economist and director of policy at the Economic Policy Institute. "For white women, it's a total disaster, but that's dwarfed by what's happening in other demographic groups."
"Do I take my son out of school so I can get my work done?"
- Tonya Hughes, 48
The unemployment rate for women overall, 6.3%, is twice as high as it was before the pandemic started. The unemployment rate is 8.45% for Black women and 9.1% for Latina women, according to Friday's report.
In December, 154,000 Black women left the labor force entirely. That's the largest drop in their employment since the beginning of the pandemic, the National Women's Law Center pointed out in a data brief released Friday. Meanwhile, 200,000 white women actually returned to the workforce.
Women have been leaving the workforce throughout the pandemic, though. Most notably, in September, 863,000 were forced out. But at the time, the majority of those workers were white women.
Now it seems to be Black women's turn. "What happened is concerning," said Jasmine Tucker, director of research at the National Women's Law Center. The reasons for the mass exodus aren't necessarily as obvious as in September when back-to-school caused a seismic shift for working women, she said.
But there are a few things going on: Because of systemic racism, Black and Hispanic women are concentrated in different occupations than white women, Shierholz explained. And those occupations are the ones that got hit harder by shutdown measures — the restaurant industry, for example.
Those were the industries hit in December, she said, in a smaller-scale version of what the economy experienced last spring. An uptick in COVID-19 cases spurred job loss and an economic slowdown. In December, 500,000 jobs vanished in the leisure and hospitality sector alone.
Meanwhile, the pandemic has caused a huge uptick in unpaid work. Mothers are now homeschool teachers, just like Hughes. And with COVID-19 rates disproportionately higher for Black Americans, it stands to reason that the burden of caregiving also falls hardest on their shoulders.
Hoping For Christmas, Part 2
"I had to explain Santa was delayed because of COVID and the weather," Tonya Hughes said of not being able to provide Christmas presents to her 8-year-old son this year.
Without a steady income stream, Hughes has been getting by on a mix of resources, including federal food stamp benefits and a local food bank when things get really tight. In the spring, there were stimulus checks and beefed-up unemployment benefits. Those ran out long ago, however. Hughes, who is a member of the activist group Center for Popular Democracy, has been advocating for an extension for months.
The group has provided her with some support, too. It helps to have people she can just talk to right now, she said.
This past Christmas, Hughes wasn't able to give her 8-year-old son any gifts under the tree. "I had to explain Santa was delayed because of COVID and the weather," she said, explaining that it was rainy on Christmas Eve.
That was fine with him until he had to log back on for school and wasn't sure what to tell his classmates about the holiday, she said.
Hughes did get a little bit of money from a member of her activist group, so she and her son took the bus to CVS to buy a few treats for themselves, like new gloves, a toy piano you can play with your feet and Santa hats for him and her 18-year-old daughter who lives nearby.
She is now waiting on another stimulus check. Congress authorized $300 payments at the end of the year, and Hughes is hoping she gets one soon. On Monday, Maryland's governor announced an aid package that would provide stimulus payments of $750 for families.
Hughes was pretty excited. She plans on buying extra groceries and stuff for her house; the money would also mean she could Uber to doctor appointments instead of taking the bus.
And there would also be some cash for a Christmas 2, she said.

Gustaf Anders Lindberg, född 14 augusti 1832 i Stockholm, död 5 februari 1900 i Stockholm, var en svensk ämbetsman, botanist och xylograf.

Han var son till bolagskamreren Karl Peter Lindberg och Karolina Sandbom. Lindberg avlade sin studentexamen i Uppsala 1852 och vistades för sin hälsa och botaniska studier i Brasilien 1854-1855. Han gjorde sig känd som en mycket framstående botanist och illustrerade sina talrika botaniska studier som publicerades i olika tidskrifter. Efter avlagd kameralexamen anställdes han vid Kommerskollegium där han senare avancerade till kamrer. Som konstnär skapade han botaniska illustrationer och Exlibris där exlibriset för Fredrik Åkerman hör till hans mest kända. Vid sin död donerade han sin egen boksamling till Vetenskapsakademiens bibliotek.

Log cabin quilt top: complete!
I finished this top about a week ago, but the weather was so terrible I couldn't take any photos of it. The minute the sun came out, I darted outside with my camera and co-opted the monkey bars for a photo shoot.
I am so happy with how this turned out. So happy. It doesn't match my original vision at all (things rarely do), but I think it is beautiful in a different way.
It measures 80″ x 96″, to fit a full-size bed. I'm worried about quilting it…it will be so difficult on my machine, but I would really like to do it myself. In Last-Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts, Joelle Hoverson calls a log cabin "a labor of love," and it really was.
I spent about a month, start to finish, on this top, which is the longest I have ever worked on any project (notwithstanding my thesis and other academic pursuits). I loved working on it, but it did get monotonous.
My favorite fabrics are the cherry blossom fabric and the two Liberty prints (Lucy's Farm), of which I have enough to make several matching pillows!
I think it's relatively balanced, which I think is quite an achievement in light of the fact that I have neither a design wall nor a floor space large enough to accommodate such a mammoth top. I know the brown (called Bronze by K.F.) is slightly overrepresented on one side, but I am not tearing it out…I like the way it is.
My only issue with the process was squaring up the blocks, which seemed to take an eternity.
What a wonderful sense of accomplishment!
I love the mix of berries and brown! do you know how you want to quilt it?
I was thinking of doing an allover fan pattern…what do you think?

Survey: Teens Love Using Voice Search in the Bathroom
Google's report on the voice search habits of Americans find that teens love querying Siri while on the commode.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/survey-teens-love-using-voice-search-in-the-bathroom
It's not uncommon to see someone speaking into their smartphone. But look a little closer, and you may find they're just chatting with a virtual assistant instead of another human being.
Google today released a report on the voice search habits of Americans, many of whom talk to their phones while watching TV, and wish voice search could help find the lost remote.
"Voice search is a key feature of the Google app that's becoming even more important as people spend more time on their mobile phones," Scott Huffman, Google's Vice President for Conversational Search, said in a statement. "We wanted to learn more about how people of all ages use Google hands-free on their phones."
The Mobile Voice Study asked 1,400 participants to explain how, where, and why they use Google's own Search app, as well as Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana.
Unsurprisingly, a majority of teens (55 percent) call upon the service every day—a figure that grows to 75 percent among those 13 to 18 years old, who use their phones 11-plus hours per day.
Folks tend to turn to voice search to ask for directions, dictate a text message, make a phone call, look up a recipe, or check the weather. Others use it "just for fun," Google's survey said—be it in front of the TV or while in the bathroom.
"We found that for teens, voice search comes as naturally as checking social media and they're getting very creative about how (and where) they use it," Huffman said.
Popular among the younger crowd, many adults feel a level of self-consciousness when talking to their phone, admitting to "feeling like a geek."
Still, two-thirds of respondents think voice search is cool, and nearly as many say they feel tech-savvy when using it. And the general consensus among all age groups is that hands-free voice search will be "very common in the future"; 89 percent of adults and 85 percent of teens agree.
Just what that future holds remains unclear: Teenagers would be satisfied if their phone could "send me pizza," while more pragmatic adults wish they could ask their handset to "tell me where my keys are." Even better: Locate the TV remote.
"The study gives us great ideas about new ways we could help people," Huffman said.
Check out Google's full results in the infographic below.
The tech giant's voice search function recently beat out competitors Siri and Cortana in the Stone Temple Consulting Corporation's study. Based on the showdown, Google Now (which is encompassed within the Google Search app) returns twice as many results as Cupertino's service, and nearly three times that of Cortana.
PCMag recently put Google Search app and Google Now to the test; check out the results in the slideshow above. Also see our own analysis of Cortana vs. Google Now vs. Siri, and take our quiz to see which service your personality best matches.

t all comes down to this, the final confrontation with Gnasty and then breaking into his treasury and reclaiming the last of the dragons' loot from him. And that means you finally get to really fly outside of a flight level. Oh, yes.
1) To defeat Gnasty you must chase him until he stands on the platform he ends up after he first takes off running, and flame him. You have to be right on his tail to burn him before he squashes you with his club. He'll take off again, through a new door, if you're successful. Follow him, jumping on each platform QUICKLY and flame him one final time in the last room. The bad news is that, after finally catching him and burning him after running all those stinkin' loops of the industrial plant, you're pretty much guaranteed to lose him the first time you chase after him to get that second flaming in. Sorry.
2) The second trapped dragon in the Gnasty's World home level only appears (where the first one was) after you kill Gnasty.
3) READ THIS TIP! Yes, you must have both all the gems - including the ones from the "bonus" flight levels (shouldn't have decided to come back to those, should you?) - and all the dragon eggs to get into the Gnasty's Loot level. That's what they mean in the first ending when Spyro says he has more treasure to get.
4) The thieves in Gnasty's Loot are great pilots and it's almost impossible to flame the first one by taking him head-on. Follow him and stick to it; you'll get him eventually.


Owner of Grind House Coffee counter-sues owners of the former Inside Scoop ice cream shop.
A lawsuit involving the owners of two former Fairborn businesses is escalating.
The owner of the former Grind House Coffee & Tea Company shop has counter-sued the owners of the former Inside Scoop Ice Cream Shop, claiming they intentionally sabotaged his business.
The counter-lawsuit was filed Friday, Sept. 14 as part of a Greene County Common Pleas Court civil lawsuit filed July 31. In that original suit, the owners of the former ice cream shop at 313 W. Main St. in Fairborn claimed that Grind House Coffee & Tea Company's owner engaged in fraud and defamation to take over their shop's retail space in downtown Fairborn.
>> PHOTOS: Did we spot you at the first ever Beer Fest after the Air Force Marathon?
In the counter-lawsuit, Grind House Coffee owner William Miller denies those allegations and instead claims that Inside Scoop owners Robin Joseph and Clinton Allen misled him about various aspects of their business and deliberately cast him in a false light.
"The false light created by (the ice cream shop's owners) was not only highly offensive, but resulted in the complete collapse of (Miller's) business operation in Fairborn," and it resulted in Miller and the shop's employees "receiving threats, boycotts, vandalism of their business front, and outright intimidation," the lawsuit says.
>> PHOTOS: Did we spot you dancing the day away at the Hispanic Heritage Festival?
The counter-lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of at least $25,000, punitive damages of twice the amount of compensatory damages, and an injunction requiring the ice cream shop's owners "to cease their invasion of privacy" against Miller and his business, the lawsuit says.
Grind House Coffee's owner acknowledged that the owners of The Inside Scoop reached out to him in early January 2018 about the possibility of Grind House setting up a coffee stand inside The Inside Scoop. But the owner denied the vast majority of The Inside Scoop's lawsuit claims, including one that he indicated to the Greene County Public Health agency that he was the new owner of the business.
After opening their ice cream shop on Kaufman Avenue in 2011, The Inside Scoop relocated to 313 W. Main St. in Fairborn in July 2014.
Grind House Coffee was started in 2015 as an online-only retailer.
On April 23, 2018, Grind House Coffee held its official grand opening as a stand-alone coffee shop, inside the former building of The Inside Scoop. Three months later, the coffee shop abruptly closed.

I am not a very nutritious baker. I always bake with loads and loads of butter and sugar. So Gayathri's Cook Spot has always been a diet free zone but when I heard of a baking competition with a theme nutritious bakes, I wanted to try. When I went through so many recipes, I found that even rice flour can be used successfully in baking. So I took a basic recipe and made it completely nutritious by adding roasted red rice flour, wheat flour, dark brown sugar, olive oil and soy milk. I have stayed away from dairy products too for this recipe.
As this was an experiment, I didn't expect anything edible. And the muffins didn't raise too much in the first 5 minutes. I thought my experiment failed but they started raising and seeing those beautiful cracks I was so happy. Recently I bought a pack of dried cranberries and I love is so much that I have been adding it in many bakes. The addition to these muffins turned out so good. The muffins though denser than ordinary muffins were soft and moist and tasted absolutely delicious. It is better to serve them warm and they would make a filling breakfast.
In a bowl mix together wheat flour, rice flour, flax seed powder, salt and baking powder.
Make a well in the centre and add oil, soy milk and vanilla essence.
Fold the ingredients with a spoon. Do not over work batter.
Add the cranberries and fold.
Divide batter between 12 muffin moulds lined with paper liners.
Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for a while on a wire rack.
I have seen rice flour used in gluten free bakes but your version muffins sound more healthier.
Wow you have made this so healthy!!!
Appreciate the use of red rice flour – this is the first time I am seeing red rice flour in muffins – great job!!
which nutrituous bake group did u join???
together we can start a cranberry fanclub soon, this is a nice combination for muffin Gayathri..
That's such a wonderful experiment you have done Gayathri!..muffins look delish!
I love dry cranberries in bakes and good to know even you are enjoying these dried berries in bakes. Muffins turned out good and nice to know even rice flour can be used in baking.
That is a very nutritious and healthy looking muffins with cranberry.
Red rice flour is an interesting addition. Cranberries taste great in baked good. Glad your experiment was a success.
Love the addition of flax seeds. Great vegan option.
Very interesting, never thought of trying muffins with red rice flour.. Muffins came out extremely fabulous Gayathri..
Addition rice flour is new to me,sounds so healthy and delicious..
Very interesting addition of rice flour in the muffins. They look well baked.
Awesome I love this one. Who says baking cannot be healthy.

Adolphe Stoclet (1871 - 1949) was een Belgisch spoorwegbouwkundige en financier die echter vooral bekend werd als opdrachtgever en eigenaar/bewoner van het Stocletpaleis in Brussel.

Stoclet was een telg uit een familie van Belgische bankiers. Toen zijn vader overleed werd hij directeur van de Generale Maatschappij van België, een van grootste ondernemingen in België die in het bezit was van veertig verschillende bedrijven (banken, wapenfabrieken, mijnen in Belgisch-Congo).

I have installed a Windows 7 x86 VM and on it I've installed VS 2012, VS 2013 and Test Controller 2013 (in that order). The VM is my test controller.
Error adding test case  to test run: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.CodedUITestFramework, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Why is it trying to load version 11?
Though the documentation mentions that the 2013 Test Agent should work with your TFS 2012 server, I've usually not mixed and matched agent versions and relied on the agent matching the TFS server version. It reduces these type of issues. I'm glad this was an option for you and that it also fixes your issue, though technically your original approach should also have worked according to the docs.

A: Usually, what I do is create a route handler full of url hashes mapped to urls. That way, when I listen for a window hashchange event, I can route to that hash's corresponding url. The object would look like this:
var router = {
    "#ajax" : "http://fiddle.jshell.net"
};

Then I use this object to acquire html from the url asynchronously, using the router and a jquery get request (on hashchange):
$(window).on("hashchange", function(){
    var route = router[location.hash];
    if (typeof route === 'undefined') return;
    $.get( route, function( data ) {
        $( ".sliderContent" ).html( data );
    });
});

As you can see from the jquery get's callback, the ajax data retrieved is injected into the DOM in the sliderContent div. I hope this helps :)
See the working jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/zrLLhq30/5/
Edit: the AJAX takes a little while to process, so give it a bit of time to load.
UPDATE
I've updated my fiddle to include multiple links (as well as replacing the jquery get with a jquery load, just to speed up the resource retrieval) and, as you can see, the content inside the divs load into the container without a page refresh.
If you implement the solution they way I did, using different hashes for each resource URL, then it should work great. I hope this is what you meant :)
Updated jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/zrLLhq30/7/

A: this error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input happens propably due to missing a closing parenthesis. So in your jquery click function, outer closing parenthesis will be missing. I have examined your code and yes you are missing closing paranthesis.

Q: R :Fitting survival trees with time-varying covariates in RandomForestSRC In the package LTRCtrees one can fit a decision tree to the special format of the Surv function :Surv(time, time2, event) as per below example
set.seed(0)
library(survival)
library(LTRCtrees)
## Create the start-stop-event triplet needed for coxph and LTRC trees
first <- with(pbcseq, c(TRUE, diff(id) !=0)) #first id for each subject
last <- c(first[-1], TRUE) #last id
time1 <- with(pbcseq, ifelse(first, 0, day))
time2 <- with(pbcseq, ifelse(last, futime, c(day[-1], 0)))
event <- with(pbcseq, ifelse(last, status, 0))
event <- 1*(event==2)

pbcseq$time1 <- time1
pbcseq$time2 <- time2
pbcseq$event <-  event

## Fit the Cox model and LTRC trees with time-varying covariates
fit.cox <- coxph(Surv(time1, time2, event) ~ age + sex + log(bili), pbcseq)
LTRCIT.fit <- LTRCIT(Surv(time1, time2, event) ~ age + sex + log(bili), pbcseq)
LTRCART.fit <- LTRCART(Surv(time1, time2, event) ~ age + sex + log(bili), pbcseq)

Is it possible to use the same function on a Random Forest using the RandomForestSRC library
library(randomForestSRC)
RF.fit <- rfsrc(Surv(time1, time2, event) ~ age + sex + log(bili), data=pbcseq, nsplit = 3, ntree = 100, importance = TRUE)

Which generates an error:
Error in parseFormula(formula, data, ytry) :
  Survival formula incorrectly specified.

A: This paper by Wongvibulsin, Wu, and Zeger (2019) extends the randomForestSRC package to handle TVC, but you may need to contact the authors for any relevant code.
