In 2006, Doctor Who would air in the UK on Saturdays and a friend of mine, a dear fellow who's since passed away, would download a copy from a file-sharing site a day or two later. We'd then get a gang together to watch the episode at our old house on Thursday nights because that was when it was most convenient. A day or two after "Fear Her" aired, I got a message from a pal in the UK on the 2000 AD forum. Knowing that I hate spoilers, he did me the favor of dropping me a line to tell me to not watch the "Next Time" trailer at the end of "Fear Her." I did as requested. When we watched "Fear Her" that Thursday, I paused the DVD and passed the remote to somebody else while I went upstairs.
Because the BBC spoils lots of surprises – they sort of have to when they film on location and bring identifiable monster costumes or cast recognizable actors for outdoor shots – everybody knew that the Cybermen would be back. After all, director Graeme Harper had filmed all sorts of material with the Cybermen in broad daylight, as the publicity and paparazzi photos had shown, and the previous adventure with them all took place in one evening. So everybody knew that this would be a Cybermen story, but what nobody knew until that "Next Time" trailer is that the Daleks would be back as well. And the trailer doesn't reveal it, it just half-assedly gives it away by casually including the unmistakable look and sound of a Dalek death ray in one shot as if by accident.
I am so glad that I skipped it that Thursday in 2006, because apart from one bit where David Tennant, forgetting how he'd reprimanded himself for "correctamundo," acts like a goofball saying that he ain't afraid of no ghosts, this episode is completely wonderful and ends with one of the all-time great cliffhangers, which I totally did not see coming. The kid loved it as well and said that it was even better than "the one with Queen Victoria and the werewolf!" He didn't even pretend that the Cybermen annoyed him this time around. Then when the Daleks showed up in the final seconds, he was on his feet, roaring, and saying pretty much everything you can imagine an eight year-old would say about having the two big baddies finally showing up in the same story. I asked whether he thinks that they'll get along. "No! Absolutely not! They're going to HATE each other!"
Well, Cybermen don't understand how to hate, but I take his point. I'm resisting the temptation to jump ahead and watch that brilliant bit of trash-talking in the second episode. I can wait 'til tonight. I think.

Doctor Who 2.8 – The Impossible Planet
Among all the reasons I enjoy "The Impossible Planet" is that it has a brilliant sense of scale. This is a story about Earth during the time of its Empire – so it's perhaps contemporary with season nine's "The Mutants" – but it talks about a vastness of space and the passing of billions of years. I just like it when Doctor Who imagines something far, far bigger in scope than just "this story takes place exactly one hundred years from the date of transmission."
And I also love the scene where the Doctor and Rose – who are back to being insufferably smug right after they land – discuss what the world might have in store for them without the TARDIS. The Doctor feigns horror at having to worry about a house and a mortgage, deflecting a genuine worry. David Tennant sensibly doesn't let him be vulnerable here, but it's a big situation that the Doctor hasn't run into in a really long time. I also like it when our hero can't rely on the ship to get himself out of trouble.
Elsewhere in the audience, our son positively exploded at the cliffhanger ending. "Come on! Come on! Why does this have to be a two-parter?!" he grumbled. We answered that there was too much story for just one episode, and reminded him that one of his pals has asked the same question about the occasional two-part episodes of Thunderbirds are Go. It seems he was just enjoying this one a lot and really wants to know what's at the bottom of the mysterious hole on the impossible planet Krop Tor right now.
He also suggested that there's an error in the story. He observed that the possessed archaeologist, shown above, has all these symbols on his skin when the mysterious villain is speaking through him, but once the possession leaves him and takes over the Ood, they don't get the symbols. I suggested that perhaps each of the base's Ood gets a single symbol, and since they're wearing suits, the symbol could be on their backsides for all we know. I don't think this mystery will be solved in part two…

Doctor Who: Battlefield (parts one and two)
And now we travel to 1989 – possibly – as Morgaine Le Fay invades our dimension from whatever realm she came from. Jean Marsh had previously played a witch queen in the films Return to Oz and Willow, and decided to make it a hat trick here. It's also her third appearance in Doctor Who. Uniquely, Marsh played a guest star and a companion and a villain in the show.
I've never thought Ben Aaronovitch's "Battlefield" was all that well realized, but behind its many poor line readings and stagings and a couple of diabolically bad performances – stop laughing, Mordred – there's a good story here that comes across much better in Marc Platt's novelization for Target Books. Later on down the line, David Tennant's Doctor was completely baffled and stumped to meet River Song for the first time when she knew him already. That's precisely what happens here – all these knights of old know a future Doctor and call him Merlin – and Sylvester McCoy's Doctor understands it immediately. Maybe McCoy's Doctor read the book The Time Traveller's Wife and then erased his own memory.
It's set a few years in Ace's future, but we never learn exactly when Ace's present is – there's no reason to think it's 1987 – and yet here we are in 2019, still without a king on England's throne and without five pound coins. We were just talking today about old TV and books getting their future predictions wrong. And of course, Nicholas Courtney is back as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, and this story is so set up to be his grand finale with a valiant death in episode four that when it doesn't happen, it ends up feeling like they forgot to tape something important.
Incidentally, both Marc Platt's novel and a subsequent title in Virgin's New Adventure range establish that the future Doctor, the one who regularly had scraps with Morgaine and Mordred at King Arthur's side, is a Doctor with red hair. If we ever do meet a red-haired Doctor on television, about nineteen of us are going to call him Merlin.
So what did our kid think? We gave him a crash course in King Arthur today to make sure he knew what was going on. He mainly reported that he thinks that Lancelot might have been like Tony Stark and Gawain like the Hulk. He was enjoying things just fine until episode two's cliffhanger, where the Doctor and Ace set off a trap and a very 1980s computer effect hisses around the room and attacks them. I would never, ever have thought this moment would have been anywhere near Who's most frightening cliffhangers, but it scared him so badly that he left the room and ran to the top of the stairs. I'm always amazed by how he reacts to something I took for granted.

Doctor Who: Earthshock (part one)
"Oh, come on! Come on!"
Was that a cool cliffhanger, Little Dude?
"No! It was NOT a cool cliffhanger!"
Really? Don't you want to see what happens next?
"Duh, yeah!"
Well, a cool cliffhanger makes you want to see what happens next. So…
"But it's the Cybermen! And they're TOO MEAN!"
They're too mean?
"The Cybermen are mean! They are TOTALLY mean! Even their thumbs are mean! They're even meaner than the Daleks! The Daleks are only HALF-mean and the Cybermen are all mean. They want to take over EVERYTHING!"
Millions of opinions about Doctor Who have been voiced in fifty-five years. I think I like this one best of all.

Doctor Who: State of Decay (parts three and four)
It's a "be quiet and don't wake up the monsters" cliffhanger at the end of part three, meaning, of course, that Romana isn't quiet enough and she wakes up the monsters. And it gave our son one of the biggest frights he's ever had. He was under his blanket like a shot and when the end credits started, he bolted off the sofa and ran for the front door. He's never hid all that way before. He didn't come back to the den until he could hear that the third vampire had come into the "inner sanctum" and told the other two to knock it off, because he has important plans for them.
This is a terrific story. There's a great bit where K9 warns the Doctor that using the "indigenous dissident population" to start his riot doesn't have a high probability of success, which means that K9 hasn't been watching the same show the rest of us have. Another great bit has Emrys James, who, to be fair, is indulging in a little overacting, as people playing vampires often do, telling one of his guards that dying is what guards are for.
For his final verdict, our son gave it a thumbs-sideways. He explained that it was totally awesome, but it was also "totally too scary!" This may be the last time he says that for a while. I honestly don't think Doctor Who was this deliberately scary again for a long time. I'm sure something will give him an unexpected shock or two, but eighties Who rarely went in for real horror. I think he'll be eight when we get to "The Curse of Fenric," which is the story I'm thinking of, but if anything else sends him behind the sofa – or to the front door – I'll be sure to write about it!

Doctor Who: State of Decay (parts one and two)
I'd like to think that I was too old to be frightened by Doctor Who when I first started watching it around age 13, but I'll admit that Emrys James's portrayal of this vampiric villain called Aukon might have come closer than anything else. This is a stunningly effective cliffhanger at the end of part two, where our heroes have deduced that their opponents are vampires and that there's some gigantic creature living underneath the gothic tower of the Three Who Rule. Then Aukon shows up behind them and offers them greetings, that they're in his domain now.
The whole production is much, much creepier and more frightening than Doctor Who had been in many years, and our son definitely felt it. He told us this one is so scary, and as our heroes discovered blood-filled feeding tubes and quietly, urgently, discuss what could be happening, he huddled behind his security blanket. Good thing Mommy had some brownies ready for dessert tonight!
"State of Decay" was the second story to be produced in season eighteen, and because the producer and script editor had to hit the ground running and needed scripts fast, they phoned up writer Terrance Dicks. He had submitted a story three years previously which had been cancelled at the last minute by some high muckity-muck at the BBC ("Horror of Fang Rock" was an eleventh-hour substitution), and they asked whether he'd like to do a quick rewrite of it – and therefore get paid for the same story twice.
Somehow in all the turmoil, and with another new-to-the-series director, Peter Moffatt stepping in, nobody actually told Tom Baker and Lalla Ward that they were getting a new co-star. I like the way that they chose to introduce Matthew Waterhouse as Adric. We didn't actually see him stow away in the previous story, and so when he turns up in the TARDIS after the Doctor and Romana have left to go explore the planet, there's a surprising "What is he doing here?" moment. Apparently, that's what Baker and Ward wanted to know as well.
One note on casting: an actor named Clinton Greyn plays the role of the head villager. He's a tall guy, and about twelve years previously, he had starred as the lead in the obscure, oddball series Virgin of the Secret Service. (John of the Cult TV Blog wrote about this weird show last month and you should check it out.) I always like noting how directors will come back to some of the same actors, and so it doesn't surprise me to note that Peter Moffatt gave Greyn a call five years later when he was booked to do a serial in season twenty-two.
I thought about that tonight as I noted Greyn towering over Matthew Waterhouse. Moffatt cast Greyn as a Sontaran. I understand loyalty to actors who can get the job done, but clearly nobody told Moffatt that Sontarans are supposed to be short…
Doctor Who: Full Circle (parts one and two)
I really enjoy it when our son reacts with such enthusiasm over Doctor Who's cliffhangers. Part one of "Full Circle" ends with the beasts-of-the-month, some Black Lagoon creatures called Marshmen, waking up and rising out of a mist-covered lake. Our son spent the recap behind the sofa. Then the second episode ends with some whacking huge spiders – some hilariously unconvincing tourist trap haunted house spiders with light bulb eyes and giant teeth, but spiders nonetheless – hatching from a pile of what everybody thought were ordinary watermelons that the locals call riverfruit. The kid was shocked. "That nutritious fruit is eggs for spiders!"
"Full Circle" is an entertaining adventure that's aged extremely well. It was the first professional story by a young writer named Andrew Smith, and it's the first Who serial to be directed by Peter Grimwade, who is by leagues the most interesting and influential director of the early eighties. It also features the first appearance of Adric, a new character who seems to be about fourteen years old, played by nineteen year-old Matthew Waterhouse. The casting of actors who are unmistakably older than their young characters is going to be a hallmark of eighties Who, unfortunately.
As for the older actors, there's George Baker as a father torn between devotion and his new duties. We've seen Baker as the Beefeater in the first episode of The Goodies. He may have been best known at the time for his regular role in the BBC's celebrated I, Claudius, though he was also the screen's first Inspector Alleyn, in a series of Ngaio Marsh adaptations made for New Zealand television. Later, he'd play Wexford in The Ruth Rendell Mysteries for years. Plus there's James "No, what a stooopid fool YOU ARE" Bree as the leader of this strange community.
Our son has definitely twigged that something weird is going on in this community. Every fifty or so years, a large settlement around a non-functioning "Starliner" retreats inside and seals the ship because the air outside is said to become toxic during "Mistfall." The citizens make repairs and talk about a great embarkation to return them to their ancestors' home planet. But the Doctor and K9 know the air is perfectly breathable, and after he breaks into the Starliner, with a young, grunting Marshman scurrying behind him, he starts people questioning why the society's rulers are so keen to keep everybody locked indoors for years.
I think the combination of scary monsters, scary spiders, and lying bureaucrats has him especially interested to see what will happen next. I asked whether this story is better than "Meglos," and he happily agreed. There's certainly a lot to like here.

Doctor Who: The Leisure Hive (parts one and two)
Unless you are Indiana Jones, R.E.M. or Echo & the Bunnymen, the eighties were not your best decade. So it is with Doctor Who, whose final nine seasons were overseen by one producer, the late John Nathan-Turner. As we'll see, in time the producer would become the most divisive figure in the program's history, but I'm in the school that believes that he certainly started out very well.
The 1980-81 season really was a visual shakeup and it sounded incredibly different, too. Nathan-Turner let the show's longtime main composer Dudley Simpson know that he was going to pass on his services and use new musicians. He and his first script editor, Christopher H. Bidmead, accomplished what Douglas Adams couldn't and found a pile of new writers. Only one person who had ever directed a Who serial before 1980 was invited back, and only three writers returned. Better still, the directors and designers seemed to be working from the same page at last, and they regularly created alien worlds that felt like they had a space and a believable existence beyond the locations where the plot sends our heroes.
The pantomime-style villains who'd dominated the Graham Williams run were mostly gone, and the Doctor stopped being an all-powerful know-it-all. Tom Baker's overacting was toned down, and even K9 sounds less smug about everything. So seasons 18 and 19 did look and sound like a new and refreshed program, with some good stories and some that didn't work so well. I think there are a couple of serials that should have been dumped at the script stage, but until we get to the tail end of Peter Davison's first year (specifically a story called "Time-Flight" where practically every decision anybody made was the wrong one), even the misfires at least looked and sounded interesting. There's a real sense that everyone working on the show wants to create engaging television that doesn't follow a very obvious path.
With that in mind, David Fisher's "The Leisure Hive," which was the last serial that he'd contribute to the show, is incredibly interesting. I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it compelling. The story suffers – at the script level – from some of the same old problems that plague all of television, especially when the speaking parts are so rationed that a lawyer from Earth suddenly becomes a prosecutor on an alien planet. But it looks and sounds so radically different from anything that Doctor Who had ever done, with surprising camera angles, closeups, and especially the lighting choices, that it's more engaging on a visual level than the show almost ever was. Add a very modern synthesizer score by Peter Howell and it all adds up to something that is admittedly dated, but in 1980, it must have seemed incredibly refreshing.
It's the only serial that was directed by Lovett Bickford, who passed away just a couple of months ago. Apparently he overspent so badly that he was never invited back, which is a shame. The main guest star is actress Adrienne Corri, who had done the usual run of guest parts in the fun ITC shows of the sixties and seventies but is best known for her small but memorable role in A Clockwork Orange. Laurence Payne, who had played Sexton Blake in a long-running late sixties show for Thames that is almost entirely missing from the archives, has a small part in episode one.
"The Leisure Hive" is famous for its first two cliffhangers, which first show an image of the Doctor being torn, bloodlessly, limb from limb, and secondly see him aged into an old man. I'm pleased to report that both of these moments succeeded in startling our son, and in fact he chose to hide behind the sofa instead of seeing the freaky sight of the Doctor's arms and head popping away from his body. In the cold light of adulthood, it's a dopey effect, but boy, was it ever effective!

Are You a Saver or a Wearer?
The world is divided into exactly two types of people.
Let me explain: Sometimes you buy something new, and you have to put it on within seconds of swiping your credit card. You in fact are so excited, that after paying for your new top you make a beeline for the changing room, rip off the shirt you're already wearing (just barely managing to close the door first), and emerge wearing your just-made purchase. If you DO manage to make it home in your old clothes, there's no question about what you'll be putting on bright and early the next morning. If this sounds at all familiar, you're a Wearer.
Then there's the shopper who keeps her new purchase snug in its shopping bag for days, sometimes weeks. This person loves the having of something new as much as she likes the new thing itself. The Saver keeps the bag in the corner of a room, savoring (no pun intended) the sheer knowledge that she has something new to wear. Sometimes she might even try on her latest purchase a couple times before actually wearing it.
I'm a Saver. In fact, as I write this I have a little bundle in the corner of my bedroom containing a dress and shirt I bought in Canada, and a little brown bag with rope handles containing a ring I bought at the Bust Craftacular as my Hannukah gift to myself (no scoffing please, Hannukah is a PERFECT excuse for a little self-indulgence, as is Arbor Day, Guy Fawkes day, and myriad other holidays).
I've been keeping one of my latest purchases in its bag. I'm a Saver. If I were a Wearer the bag would be long gone.
Whether you're a Saver or a Wearer might have something to do with how you're raised, or even your genes, my (not at all extensive) research has shown. Dad is a Saver. He holds on to a new pair of shoes, or a sweater, for weeks before wearing them. Mom, on the other hand, is a Wearer. She claims this is because her own mother made her be a Saver when she was a girl. My friend Nurse V is the same way; I have in fact met her for shopping and dinner, when she's worn one thing for shopping, and something entirely different for dinner.
Not to get too psychological, but to me, once you open the package, a little bit of the excitement of having something new ebbs away. Once you start wearing it, after all, it's no longer new. No?
Anyway, I want to hear from you. Are you a Saver, or are you a Wearer?
I'm a saver, haha. I never really thought of this before. Thanks for the post!
I used to think all girls were Savers until I met one who wasn't. I usually like giving my new clothes a chance to get acquainted with their new friends in the closet. So I'm a saver, I guess. I also like to come up with the perfect outfit for the new item's debut and that can take months….
I'm totally a Saver…I love the way clothes look when they're new! Thanks for sharing!
I am a wearer for sure!! I guess this is hereditary, my mom is a wearer too! LOL!
Original take on it and led me to realize why I am a wearer. I don't like new clothes and don't feel they're my own clothes until I know all their idiosyncracies and can summon up how they feel on and work with other clothes.
I am totally a saver too, and it drives me crazy that my daughter is a wearer. Once we leave a store, I know as soon as she gets home, it's going on.
Yes, well. It takes savers AND wearers to make the world go round.
Wearer, by your definition. However, I don't randomly shop. I have a list of items I want, and if I have the means to purchase something on the list, it will go into immediate rotation. Not quite changing into it in the dressing room… Although with shoes, I've sometimes done this. Usually, I'll wear something I purchase the next day or in the next few days.
I've waited years to wear something! With no regrets either! But other times I wear immediately. So I'm confused!
I am a saver. As i was reading this i noticed all the shopping bag i have in the corner… Partly my reasoning of being a saver is i LOVe packaging just as much as the things i buy. I'm glad i'm not alone.
I totally agree — well-designed packaging makes new purchases even nicer. Thanks for reading.
I'm mid way between the two but probably closer to a saver. Whenever I buy new clothes I get home and put them in their place (be it the wardrobe or the jewelry box.) I keep them there until the occassion is right which could be a day or it could be a month.
Interesting that you put your new things away in their right places. For me, part of the fun is having the items in their bags for awhile. Thanks for reading and for your nice words.
That's so funny! I've thought about it before, but I like how you labeled it 'savers' and 'wearers'. I'm definitely a saver; occasionally I'll wear something right away and feel like a rebel which is weird haha. Like "oh, I'm so wreckless, I didn't let my clothes sit in my room for a week before wearing them"..
I am absolutely a saver. I save for different weather, occasion … anything really. I really loved this post! So true!
I will often put on new clothes in the car. The only thing I save are dresses, but only because I'm a Pants Woman. Though I usually don't change my pants in the car.
I'm glad that this article didn't go in the direction of saying that one was better than the other. I'm a little bit of both. Some clothes are just more functional then others, however; saving for months to years would make one a hoarder.

'Mount Everest Way' in Jackson Heights a special honor for Queens' growing Nepalese community
The Nepali-American community in western Queens was honored with a street co-naming in Jackson Heights.
By Bill Parry
The growing Nepali community in western Queens was honored with a street co-naming Saturday as a Jackson Heights intersection was co-named "Mount Everest Way" as hundreds watched.
Nepal's Ambassador to the United States and its Consul General joined Councilman Costa Constantinides at 75th Street and 31st Avenue as the Nepali-American community now has a permanent tribute to its many contributions to the borough.
"Queens is a better place thanks to the generations of hardworking, devoted and giving members of the Nepali community," Constantinides said. "It is only right that we give something back: a token of our appreciation for making our community richer."
The City Council approved "Mount Everest Way" in a citywide legislative submission to co-name historically important streets. Constantinides' request noted that nearly 10,000 Nepalese live in New York City with a high concentration in Jackson Heights. But, it added, the population is possibly twice as high as the census estimated.
Nepali-Americans have significantly increased in numbers as they fled civil war in the 1990s and again in the early 2000s, a "Little Nepal" section of Queens was emerging in Jackson Heights, Woodside, Sunnyside and East Elmhurst, and even as far south as Ridgewood.
Last year, Constantinides convinced the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles to provide applications for learner's permits and other certifications in Nepalese. He also coordinated with Elmhurst Hospital executives to provide translation services to Nepali-American citizens in need of help.
"Mount Everest is a fitting metaphor for how strong the Nepalese have been throughout the diaspora, especially here in Jackson Heights," Constantinides said.

What's the best way to choose a glider? Meet several and see if any pick you out? Or are suggies animals you choose for looks than they will bond with the owner?
I think it goes both ways. People buy the colored (Mosaic, Creamino, Leucistic, and other colors) for the color. When people come in to my home to see the rescues I usually bring out a few pouches of gliders for them to pick a pair from. Most of the gliders that come in are just standard grey gliders.
You will still have to bond with the gliders and that is at the gliders pace.

Karolina Pliskova hires Sascha Bajin as new coach
Elise Mertens sets up Linz final against her doubles partner Aryna Sabalenka
Unstoppable Aryna Sabalenka Storms To Abu Dhabi Title
Another clinical performance has secured the Belarusian her third consecutive title and a new career-high ranking position.
Adam Addicott
Aryna Sabalenka's winning run shows no signs of stopping anytime soon after she powered her way to the Abu Dhabi title on Wednesday.
The fourth seed needed just over an hour to defeat Russia's Veronika Kudermetova 6-2, 6-2, in what was a largely one-sided encounter in the Middle East. Sabalenka utilized her power to her advantage as she fired five aces and 18 winners past her opponent who was playing in her first WTA final at the age of 23. Overall she won almost twice as many points (63-37) than Kudermetova.
With both players holding their ground early on, Sabalenka started to dominate midway through the opening set with the help of a four-game winning streak. Leading 3-2 on serve, she broke her Russian rival twice in a row to clinch the 6-2 lead. Throughout the opener the world No.10 dropped just five points behind her serve.
It was a familiar pattern in the second frame with Sabalenka continuing to dismantle Kudermetova's fragile serve. Overall, she broke six consecutive times in the final with four of those occurring in the second set alone. Easing to a game away from victory, she did experience a blunder after losing one of her breaks. However, there would be no chance of a Kudermetova comeback as Sabalenka closed out the match in the following game with her rival hitting a forehand error on match point.
"I'm really proud of the fact that I was fighting no matter what this week," the new champion reflected on her performance. "Some matches I didn't feel my serve and some matches I didn't feel my backhand or forehand, but I just kept fighting and finding my shots, and this is what I'm really proud of. I'm really happy with this title."
The win extends Sabalenka's unbeaten run on the Tour to 15 wins. She has now won three titles in a row after ending 2020 triumphing in both Ostrava and Linz. As a result of her latest triumph, Sabalenka will rise to a ranking high of seventh in the world on Monday.
There is also a silver lining for underdog Kudermetova who defeated Elina Svitolina and Marta Kostyuk earlier in the tournament. Her run to the final will move her up the rankings to a career high of 36th. She has already scored five wins over top 10 opponents so far in her career.
"Aryna's playing good. She played unbelievable today," Kudermetova said. "She didn't give me a lot of chances. She tried to keep every ball on the court, she tried to attack, and when she had her chances she went full power on the court. She also fights until the end—that's why she's a top player."
Sabalenka's surge on the Tour has sparked high expectations for her going into the Australian Open where she is hoping to break new ground in a Grand Slam.
"I was doing everything I could in each match from the beginning (in Abu Dhabi) and I'm happy to start the season with a title," Sabalenka said. "I'm going to Australia, I'm confident with one thing, that I will do everything I can to win matches."
Despite her success on the WTA Tour, she has only reached the fourth round of a major once at the 2018 US Open.
WTA Abu Dhabi Daily Preview: Aryna Sabalenka Vies for her Third Consecutive WTA Title
Matthew Marolf
Aryna Sabalenka has lots of reasons to smile as of late (twitter.com/WTA)
In a rare Wednesday final, she'll face Veronika Kudermetova, who is playing in her first WTA championship singles match.
At the beginning of 2019, Aryna Sabalenka debuted inside the WTA top 10. That was coming off a 2018 season where in which Aryna accumulated 47 match wins, two titles, and reached the second week of a Major for the first time. From there, her progress stagnated a bit, as she spent the last two years ranked between No.9 and No.16. But now she's on a 14-match winning streak, having claimed back-to-back titles to end 2020. With a win on Wednesday, she would reach a career-high ranking of No.7.
At the beginning of 2019, Veronika Kudermetova debuted inside the WTA top 100. The Russian steadily climbed the rankings that year, reaching the top 40 at the end of the season. Since the tour restart last August, the 23-year-old was a modest 7-6 before this event. But she dropped only one set this week on her way to her first WTA final, which included impressive wins over Elina Svitolina and Anett Kontaveit.
Aryna Sabalenka (4) vs. Veronika Kudermetova
Their only previous meeting does not provide much guidance as to what will happen on Wednesday. It took place six years ago at an ITF Challenger event in Antalya, which Sabalenka claimed in straight sets. Kudermetova will surely be nervous, as this is the biggest match of her career to date. And she's facing an ultra-confident Sabalenka, who is on a 14-0 run. Yesterday, Aryna easily dispatched of an in-form Maria Sakkari, requiring only 57 minutes in a match where she struck 22 winners and only eight unforced errors. After yesterday's win, Sabalenka told the press she's focusing less on winning and more on the process of improving her game, and cited this as the reason for her current win streak. When Aryna is at her best, she can outhit just about anyone on tour. And we've seen before how difficult she is to defeat when she's on a tear like this. I'm not betting against this version of Sabalenka winning her third straight title.
Other action on Wednesday:
In the doubles championship match, it's 2020 St. Petersburg champions Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara (5) vs. Hayley Carter and Luisa Stefani, recent champions in Lexington. These two teams played in the third round of Roland Garros a few months ago, with the Japanese team prevailing in straight sets.
Full order of play is here.
Aryna Sabalenka Storms Into Abu Dhabi Final
The world No.10 has now won 14 matches in a row.
Fourth seed Aryna Sabalenka produced a dominant performance as she brushed aside Maria Sakkari 6-3, 6-2, to reach the final of the Abu Dhabi Women's Open.
Sabalenka, who is bidding to win her third WTA title in a row, took control of the semi-final encounter during the early stages with the help of her powerful shot-making. Best illustrated by her 22 winners compared to just eight unforced errors. A stark contrast to Sakkari's tally of 12 and 21. Sabalenka was also supreme behind her first serve where she won 83% of the points.
"I like to play against her," Sabalenka said of Sakkari. "I think I'm just putting pressure on her every match we're playing, and it's helped me win all those matches."
A clinical start to the match saw the Belarusian race to a 5-1 lead before Sakkari managed to gain any momentum herself. The Greek retrieved one of the breaks to close the gap to 5-3 but it was too little too late as Sabalenka served the set out with relative ease.
The second frame promised to be more of a close encounter early on with Sakkari producing the tennis which shows why she is ranked just outside of the world's top 20. However, the problem for her was that she struggled to find a way to cope with Sabalenka's sheer power. Level at 2-2, the world No.10 broke once again as Sakkari let out a burst of frustration. From then on it was a foregone conclusion as Sabalenka won four games in a row to seal victory in just under an hour.
Since her loss at the French Open, the 22-year-old has won 14 matches in a row. At the end of 2020 she claimed titles in Ostrava and Linz. Meanwhile, this week Sabalenka has also previously beaten Polona Hercog, Ajla Tomljanovic, Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina.
"I think I've put my focus in the right space," she said. "I'm focusing on the right things, which helps me not think about all of these wins, and so it helps me to keep winning. I need to keep concentrating on my game and my movement on the court, and trying to do everything I can in the moment."
Should Sabalenka go on to win the Abu Dhabi title she will rise to a ranking high of seventh in the world. Awaiting her in the final will be either Veronika Kudermetova or Marta Kostyuka.
"I'm really looking forward to this final," Sabalenka said.
"I'm just focusing on the right things. This helps me to, first of all, not think about all these wins, and secondly, to keep winning."

So what is User Experience design?
Without strategic user experience (UX) design, a website is like a luxury car with no engine. It looks pretty, but it's not actually useful for your audience (and no one will be interested in it).
Beyond flashy visuals or cool features, digital interfaces create an experience for your users.
User Experience and User interface design (UX/UI) creates seamless pathways through content, so that users can fulfill their needs or solve their problems online. It includes digital interfaces like websites, apps, and B2B portals.
UX/UI design may sound like a fancy buzzword, and it's difficult to choose one catch-all definition since it combines a bunch of different disciplines like: communication design, interaction design, information architecture, marketing, branding and usability design.
User experience is like the framework of the house: the supporting walls, the layout of the rooms, that determines the homeowner's walkpath.
UX design is about usability and function, and determines what kinds of features your digital interface has.
User interface is the surface, like the visual appearance in a house like furniture, fixtures, and decorations that shapes how the rooms appear to users. User interface is the surface of the interface that users "see" such as colors and icons, while UX design determines the flow between pages.
Effective UX/UI design works in layers, from the "surface" of how a page appears, going deeper to how it functions.
How does the website appear to customers? If your website looks straight out of the early 2000s, customers will think you're behind the times. Classic fonts and minimalist styles will help your website stand the test of time. Branded visuals will wow your customers and hook their attention. Online users are skimmers—they want to be able to quickly scan a webpage to find what they need, or determine if the website is worth staying on. Clear, simple designs allow users to engage without friction.
Customers expect certain features in certain places—a search bar in the top right, or contact information—and get frustrated when they can't access the information they need. Effective UX design balances the fresh and familiar, so that customers get an engaging, original experience without feeling lost.
Great platforms should accommodate all of your audience. Accessibility standards use formatting to support the visually or hearing impaired. Offer information in multiple formats, to support different learning styles and ways customers take in information.
The next layer is the actual content—what goes on the page. What's the best way to communicate to your audience: text, graphics, animation, infographics?
Great UX makes information easy to consume, with plenty of white space and bite-size "chunks" of information in each section. By visualizing data with charts and graphs, or using visuals where possible, you make it easy for customers to "get" your value. Give users enough content to make informed decisions and feel confident, but keep it straightforward and simple.
Users should actually enjoy using your digital platforms. UX creates delightful, entertaining, or polished materials to engage your customers on a deeper level. Emotional connection matters. For example, a nonprofit that lays out the strategy behind its initiatives is clear and informative. But with a testimonial with a human element, they can make their users feel something, combining intellectual and emotional impact.
Information architecture determines how the content is organized, sorted, and categorized. By determining how pieces fit together, you create a pathway that moves users through your website (and closer to a purchase).
Usability refers to how customers get around your website, and fulfill their needs. Is it easy to "land" on your site from a search engine and navigate between pages? Does the layout make sense? Customers should be able to get anywhere they need on your site in only a couple of steps, otherwise they'll get frustrated or distracted and click away. Easy-to-navigate digital interfaces, with clear menus and paths, allow customers to find the information they're looking for.
Beyond creating a great site in the future, information architecture needs to be adaptable, so your digital presence can grow with your company. A flexible framework allows your company to add, edit, and remove content as the needs of your users change.
Your target audience should be the foundation for all UX decisions. The user's goals, wants, motivations, and hesitations should determine the "why" and "how" behind the experience. Talk to your users to understand their pain points and requirements: what do they need from your digital presence? How can you streamline your experience?
Great UX design is content-specific: you need to think about how users find your page, what their needs are at that moment, and how you can move them through the journey to build your relationship. For example, a software platform might offer a whitepaper that offers specific information for one subset of customers, like media companies. The landing page where customers find and download the whitepaper should focus on that one call-to-action, making it easy for customers to get the document they searched for, without clutter or distractions.
With polished UX design, your website will not only wow customers—it'll create a meaningful, relevant experience that addresses their needs.

Q: When program is running, file is not read Can someone help me with understanding why this code isn't working, when program is running, "booklist.txt" can't be loaded.
When I call function listbooks while the program is running, it doesn't
display anything on the screen, so that's the main problem. (file is not empty.)
  #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <fstream>

    using namespace std;
    void listbooks()
    {
        ifstream TheFile("booklist.txt");

        char autor;
        char bookname;
        long int isbn;

        while (TheFile >> autor >> bookname >> isbn)
    {
            cout << autor << " " << bookname << " " << isbn << endl;
    }
    }

    int main()
    {
        int choice;
    do {
            cout << "1.List all books" << endl;
            cout << "2.Borrow book" << endl;
            cout << "3. Exit" << endl;
            cout << "Enter your choice: ";
            cin >> choice;
            switch (choice)
    {
            case 1:
                listbooks;
                break;
            case 2:
                break;
            default:
                cout << "";
    }
    } while (choice != 3);
        system("pause");
        return 0;
    }

A: In your switch you have
case 1:
    listbooks;
    break;

This is not a function call: in C/C++, a function name (without parenthesis) is an address. Try
case 1:
    listbooks();
    break;

Related.

A: Problem was char variables, when I deleted "char autor" and "char bookname", program was running perfectly.

Q: SQL Count data from 10pm till 2am (The next day) I am puzzle if this is correct if i want to count the number of people sign in to my premises from e.g. 16 Oct 2013 at 10pm to 17 Oct 2013 2am.
It look fine on my end, i just to ask is this the correct way to do it or I will left out some data that over 12am?
SELECT COUNT (SignInLog.PlayerID) as '10pm-230am'
FROM SignInLog inner join Members
ON
Members.ID = SignInLog.PlayerID and
SignIn >= '2013-09-01' and
SignOut <= '2013-10-01' and
DATEPART(hh, SignIn) >= 22 and
DATEPART(hh, SignOut) <= 3
and KioskID=1
and Members.MemberCategory Between 1 and 13

Thanks in advance

A: It seems your dates are messed up, you have exchanged month and day.
It is not the correct way, your performance will be terrible because of the calculation on datepart, try this instead:
SELECT COUNT (SignInLog.PlayerID) as '10pm-230am'
FROM SignInLog inner join Members
ON
Members.ID = SignInLog.PlayerID and
SignOut >= '2013-10-16T22:00:00' and
SignIn  <= '2013-10-17T02:00:00' and -- changed it according to question
KioskID=1 and
Members.MemberCategory Between 1 and 13

Note: After reading @Adrianms comment, I changed my answer. Now if people have any overlap the query will find it. imagine person signing in at 2013-10-16 15:00 and/or signing out at 2013-10-17 04:00

A: In addition to the previous answer, from what I gather using a CAST should work here:
SELECT COUNT (SignInLog.PlayerID) as '10pm-230am'
FROM SignInLog inner join Members
ON
Members.ID = SignInLog.PlayerID and
SignIn >= CAST('2013-09-01 22:00:00' AS DATETIMEOFFSET) and
SignOut <= CAST('2013-10-01 03:00:00' AS DATETIMEOFFSET) and
and KioskID=1
and Members.MemberCategory Between 1 and 13


A few weeks ago I upped and went to Lagos, Algarve in Portugal for a week with Scott and his family. It was just a very chilled out week, mostly spent sleeping in the sun, eating beautiful food and drinking cocktails. It was definitely the reset I needed from my first whole year of being a graduate! Pretty sure I came back twice as heavy but that's what holidays are for, right?
For the most part, we stayed in Lagos; one of the days we ventured into Albufeira for a few drinks and wander round the market (it was huuge) and we went on a day boat trip which included a smaller boat around the coves. Not so fun fact; I am actually terrified of things like that and basically had a heart attack going through the small cove entrances with the sea nearly crashing us into the rocks. Looking back, I'm glad I did it but seriously I actually thought I was going to die from being so on edge.
Most days started with a trip to Bora for a croissant and smoothie to die for. I went to Lagos two years ago and we always brunched at Bora. Since then, it's become really popular and I definitely think they've changed the croissants they used so they're not as nice (sadface) but it's still a really chill place to sit and wake up. After, we'd wander down to the beach or a pool (we stayed in a rooftop apartment so were borrowing the facilities from hotels nearby) for a few hours, most of which I would be asleep in the sun. We either went out for lunch and had dinner at the apartment, or the other way round. Most nights we went out for drinks at a few bars, although a few we stayed in and played card games with homemade cocktails.
Knitted tree jumpers. Not sure why but they're cute, we should give them to our trees through winter right?
Seriously the most relaxed holiday; I barely even checked the web (apart from my Daily Mail and Buzzfeed 'light' reading in the morning) and I think I actually spent more time asleep than awake which to me is actually perfect. Even though it's been a year since I finished uni, I still wish I could revert back to my twice a day napping habit. I know it's not exactly seizing the day but if you can fit viewing the world, seeing your friends and doing what you love around it, why not?


The villa is situated on the island Korcula, in the very unique cove next to sea and near the city center.
The property consists of the ground floor (Appendix 3) 96,22 m2 indoor area , covered 28,22 m2 terrace, 96,20 m2 open terrace and a 24 m2 pool. First floor (Annex 4) consists of 93,46 m2 indoor area, 17 m² covered terrace, 14,05 m² open terrace and 14,15 m2 garden. Penthouse (Annex 5) consists of 49 m2 indoor area, 16,05 m2 Jacuzzi and 60,35 m2 open terrace.
This newly constructed villa in an exceptional location overlooking the sea has been carefully designed to fit in an attractive natural environment. Every detail is driven by the exceptional care that exudes a refined atmosphere, perfect to enjoy and relax.

Urine-Powered oPAD Takes Point of Care Testing to a New Low (Cost)
Gavin Corley Diagnostics
Prof. Richard Crooks and doctoral student Hong Liu at the The University of Texas at Austin have developed an origami-inspired paper sensor which may be used to test for a variety of diseases. The sensor, cheekily dubbed "oPAD" (origami Paper Analytical Device), was designed as a low cost, parallel point of care testing device.
The sensor is based on similar technology to existing paper fluidics testing devices such as home pregnancy testing strips. A hydrophobic material, such as wax or photoresist, is patterned onto chromatography paper. These hydrophobic channels direct a test sample of urine, blood, or saliva to spots on the paper where test reagents have been embedded.
The origami approach adopted by the researchers means that several tests may be run simultaneously using a single sample at an extremely low cost. The sensor is so easy to develop it could potentially be fabricated using an inkjet printer, some special inks for the reagents and some neat folding. The researchers have also been experimenting with a low cost, pee-powered, battery system for the sensor, to facilitate tests that require an energy source. Salt in the urine samples acts as an electrolyte for the battery to power the sensor.
The results of the team's experiments with the oPAD were published in October in the Journal of the American Chemical Society and details of the battery system were published last week in Analytical Chemistry. Provocative titles aside, we think this is a fantastic innovation and are looking forward to seeing how it progresses from here.

How To Get a List of Current Class Action Lawsuits
By: Joshua Mcgee
How to Search for Class Action Lawsuits
Class action lawsuits are instigated by one or more plaintiffs for a larger group that share a common interest, such as injuries from the use of a company's product or service, and often result in a monetary reimbursement. Companies often send letters to recipients when they are known to the company; however, when the purchases are more general, the recipient must notify the company. By reviewing lists of class action lawsuits online, you may garner surprising reimbursements if you qualify as part of the lawsuit.
Visit a web page that lists class action lawsuits. Several websites provide lists of class action lawsuits organized in a variety of ways. (The resource section provides three such websites.) Top Class Action lists the lawsuits with the most recently posted class action posted first. Class Advocate takes a more topic-based approach, with lawsuits separated into four sections--product or service, injury, topic or company--to make it easier to browse. Stanford Law School Securities Class Action Clearinghouse displays the lawsuits in a table listing the litigation name, exchange, ticker, date and court. Click on the column heading to sort the lawsuits.
Search the website for relevant terms. Most websites contain a simple search box; however, Stanford Law School Securities Class Action Clearinghouse includes an in-depth, advanced search that enables you to search by the litigation name, ticker symbol, litigation type, dates and classification. From the clearinghouse's home page, select "Search" from the side bar. Enter your search terms in the text box next to the correct type of term. You can specify if the search contains, begins with, ends with, equals or does not equal the search term from the drop-down box before the search term.
Sign up for the website's email list. Some class action websites, such as Top Class Actions, also include a mailing list that will send lists of new lawsuits or updates to your email. From Top Class Action's home page, select the hyperlink "Mailing List." Fill out the form with your email address, name and state. Then, click "Submit."

Planning permission has been obtained for a semi-detached house in a street in Ealing. Whilst the street setting is quite typical of the surrounding area, the rear of the building had much potential.
The site is sloping and sits at the edge of a number of green spaces with long uninterrupted views. This was the generation of a proposal of a series of stepped greens sedum roofs that brought the landscape into the building. The stepped roofs also included a number of rooflights into the composition. The proposal achieved planning permission at its first submission.

Trump nominee to lead Pentagon endorses hardline against Cuba
Tracey Eaton | July 17, 2019 July 17, 2019
The Trump administration's nominee for defense secretary said "Cuba's conduct must change dramatically before any normal type of military-to-military engagement is established" with Cuban Armed Forces.
Mark T. Esper, who was named acting defense secretary in June, said he considered Cuba and Russia to be "destabilizing influences in the Western Hemisphere. They support regimes unfriendly to the United States, and encourage autocratic governments that allow illicit activities that further harm economic potential in the region."
Esper testified Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Asked if he would intervene militarily in Venezuela, Esper said in a document filed with the committee:
DoD continues to support the whole-of-government effort to encourage a peaceful transition of power in Venezuela. The Venezuelan crisis must be resolved by the Venezuelans with the support of the international community.
Esper accused Cuba of aiding Venezuela. He said:
The illegitimate regime of Nicolas Maduro is dependent on the financial and military support of actors like Russia, Cuba, and China. Russia provides technical and military training and support, while Cuba provides direct intelligence and security support to Maduro's repressive practices targeting the political opposition, military, and others. China provides financial support, as well as other support like communications technology to the Maduro regime. Together, these external actors enable the Maduro regime to remain in power against the wishes of the Venezuelan people.
Esper, who is now secretary of the Army, did not take issue with the Trump administration's stepped-up sanctions against Cuba. He said:
The Cuban regime continues to suppress its people's rights and freedoms and export non-democratic ideals throughout the region, including interference in Venezuela. Aside from limited contacts at longstanding, practical meetings regarding routine issues at the Guantanamo Naval Station and between the U.S. Coast Guard and its Cuban counterparts, Cuba's conduct must change dramatically before any normal type of military-to-military engagement is established.
Esper, who graduated from West Point in 1986, said he supported holding prisoners long term without charges at the Naval Station at Guantánamo Bay "to keep our enemies off the battlefield." He said:
Long-term detention would be appropriate in those cases where an enemy cannot be prosecuted but continues to pose a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States.

Regional Differences In HVAC Systems
|In Uncategorized
|By Mike Lloyd
By Donna Rider
Installation of an inadequate HVAC system could cost your company many millions of dollars in retrofitting costs. Because HVAC systems are complex and varied, knowledge of the regional environmental differences and readily available energy sources is essential to the installation of the appropriate HVAC system. Further, different brands of HVAC systems will add to the choices to be made.
Regional Differences in the U.S.
The Department of Energy breaks the U.S. into only three regions. Within each region is a wide range of environmental differences that need to be taken into account before installing an HVAC system.
Also, the DOE has different requirements for new equipment installations within each of those regions. The difference between an HVAC system installed in Iowa will be significant, compared to a system installed in California or Florida. Weather factors must be taken into account, and humidity plays a major role in climate control. Too much humidity in a building will allow mold to grow, creating unsafe working or living conditions. Not enough humidity creates an uncomfortable environment.
Standards for HVAC System Design
There are numerous HVAC industry standards to which you must adhere. Organizations like ASHRAE, SMACNA, ACCA, Uniform Mechanical Code and AMCA have been established to support the industry. The most recognized standards for HVAC system design are based on ASHRAE data.
Regional Differences Relating to Energy Sources
Different areas of the country have access to different energy sources . The location of coal mines, electricity-producing dams, nuclear plants and so on will determine which energy source will be more efficient to use. For example, in your region, is natural gas less expensive than propane or electricity?
Differences in HVAC Systems
The DOE has implemented energy conservation standards for HVAC systems, outlined on the second page of the CAC Brochure. The air conditioner may be coupled with the heating system or each may be a standalone unit. Much of this difference in design is determined by energy efficiency related to the environmental differences and the brands of HVAC systems available in the region. The brand of HVAC system will differ from region to region, and each brand will have specifications for its systems. A brand readily available on the East Coast is not likely to be sold on the West Coast.
Ventilation is another important aspect of an HVAC system, because circulation of air is important for a healthy environment. Carbon monoxide and disease control are among other equally important factors when choosing a ventilation system. Ventilation includes both the circulation of air inside and exchange of air from the outside. Types of ventilation include mechanical ventilation or natural ventilation. If your building will have sealed windows, you will need mechanical ventilation. If the weather is mild enough that windows can be open more than closed, natural ventilation would be the most energy-efficient option.
HVAC Regional Design Differences
There are endless configurations for HVAC systems and as many environmental differences to be taken into account when designing a system. You can install an out-of-the-box HVAC system, but is that the best solution for you? Can a ground source, or geothermal, heat pump be installed? Is an ordinary heat pump going to be cost-effective? Will a separate furnace and air conditioner be more cost-effective than a heat pump? Do you need to install a humidifier? What type of control system do you need to properly run all of these devices to maintain a pleasant indoor atmosphere?
For large buildings, building service designers and mechanical engineers analyze and design an appropriate HVAC system. Then, the system is fabricated and commissioned by a specialty contractor. Building permits and code-compliance inspections of the installations are generally required for buildings of all sizes.

Does Your School Have the Best Programmers? ITMO Does!
On February 19 HackerRank platform published the results of the University CodeSprint, the international contest for programmers. This year ITMO University took first place (361.9 points) by a significant margin (the team placed 2nd got only 299.58 points).
Every year HackerRank gathers coders from different countries who compete to bring their universities the title of the best programming champions.
University CodeSprint is a unique competition for the whole IT world, as it is based on students' initiative — they decide whether to participate and represent their university. According to the rules, at least 10 coders have to compete on behalf of a university.
According to Lidia Perovskaya, tutor of the Computer Technology Department, in 2017 ITMO increased the number of participants (67 students) in comparison with last year when 44 coders took part. However the amount of representatives of a university doesn't affect its results, but shows how active they are. The jury uses a special formula, which helps get the average number of points received by the team. It means that a team of 10 people is on an equal footing with a team of 100 people.
The results have proved this: 12 coders from National Taiwan University (NTU) placed 2nd while a team of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology consisting of 20 programmers came 3rd. This year was the first time when MIPT participated in University CodeSprint. St. Petersburg State University placed 10th in the School Leaderboard while in 2016 it placed 6th.
ITMO students also had wonderful results in the individual competition. Gennady Korotkevich and Ilya Zban, students of the Computer Technology Department, received the maximum number of points — 430. Mr. Korotkevich solved all the tasks in record time equal to 144 minutes. Ilya Zban made it in 521 minutes which made him place third in the School Leaderboard while a coder from Harvard University solved tasks faster and placed 2nd. ITMO's students won $ 2000 and $ 750 respectively. This year one other student from ITMO, freshman Mikhail Putilin joined the top-10 and took 7th place.

Metal carbonyls are important for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of metals and alloys and formation of high surface area metallic particles which have potential applications as catalysts. Rhodium carbonyl [Rh6(CO)16] produces high surface area metallic particles whose structure has been reported as monoclinic (I2/a) with lattice dimensions, a=17.00(±0.03)Å, b=9.78(±0.02)Å, c=17.53(±0.03)Å and β=121°45' ± 30' at room temperature. Generally, metal carbonyl crystals dissociate under vacuum as carbonyl gas and decompose to metallic crystals and carbon monoxide at higher temperatures. However, the behavior of rhodium carbonyl crystals is different; they decompose directly to metallic rhodium without the formation of rhodium carbonyl gas in vacuum. Several residual fine grains of rhodium metal are found after the decomposition in vacuum at relatively low temperatures. The metallic samples of rhodium were obtained from vapor pressure experiments using torsion Knudsen-effusion apparatus. X-ray diffraction analyses performed on these grains showed severely broadened Bragg reflections indicative of small particle size and/or lattice microstrain. In this study, a comparison of lattice strains and domain sizes obtained by integral breadth and Fourier methods has been made. In addition a comparison of the lattice strains and domain sizes has been made between the Cauchy, Gaussian, Cauchy-Gaussian and Aqua integral breadth methods.
