HELIX - Old School (2019)
"The OLD SCHOOL album came about quite by accident. In 2018 I was cleaning out the basement closet at Planet Helix. What I found were various tapes I had almost forgotten about-2", ¼", and a huge box of cassette tapes. I was going to throw out the 2" tapes until I got a frantic phone call from my old friend Greg Godovitz who realized the tapes' value. Greg made me take a serious look at what I had and I realized there was at least a whole album of unreleased material-and so the idea of "OLD SCHOOL" was born. Incidentally, none of these tracks were ever released, although some of them might have been on our website as "rare tracks" in the past.
Three of the songs we were able to extract from 2" tape were recorded for the Back for Another Taste sessions in 1989: Games Mother Never Taught You, Tie Me Down, and Your Turn to Cry. Paul Hackman is playing guitar and singing on these tracks. To "extract" these recordings from the 2" tape we had to take the tapes to Beach Studios outside of Goderich, Ontario and get Siegfried Meier to thermally bake them. Upon doing so, the tracks were immediately transferred to digital. Later they were mixed by Siegfried; some with minor overdubs by Daryl Gray. One other track-"Cheers" was taken from a cassette tape and cleaned up by Siegfried as well. This song is a live recording off the floor of the studio.
The other tracks on the album, If Tears Could Talk, Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound, Southern Comfort, Closer, Coming Back with Bigger Guns, and Hound Dog Howlin' Blues were re-recorded by "tracing" the songs from cassette tapes. This was done because the songs were either unfinished or the cassettes were in bad shape. This re-recording was done by Daryl Gray at Dawghawse Studios in St. Catherines. Daryl was also the producer of this album. Over the fall and spring of 2018/2019 Kaleb, Daryl, Fritz, Chris and myself all travelled to St. Catherines to add parts and advise Daryl on how we heard the songs. By April 2019 we were ready to take the tracks to Siegfried to mix with the help of Daryl and myself. The result is now before you.
This album is dedicated to the memory of Paul Hackman, who played on 3 of these tracks and was a co-writer on 8 of the tracks. He was/is a Canadian musical icon."

DAMAGE S.F.P. - DAMAGE S.F.P. (2019)
Finland's Damage SFP have unleashed their single "Ruthless Fate" off their upcoming self-titled debut album due out on June 14th via Rockshots Records. The album is an amalgamation of 30 years of music created by the band after first forming in 1989 as three childhood friends.
Listen to "Ruthless Fate" . https://youtu.be/qzJZb1ui6Ck
"The album is like a time-leap straight to '90s, since all of the tracks were composed between 1991-1994." states the band.
During the band's existence, they released three demos in the '90s: 1992, 1993 and 1996 along with a promo tape in 1994 and continued performing until 1996 before disbanding. Moshing in 2018, DAMAGE S.F.P. was reformed by guitarist Nikkilä and drummer Lipsonen with bassist Remes hearing the call to arms to rejoin his schoolyard headbangers. Solidifying the original line-up, the trio returns 30 years after first picking up their instruments to destroy audiences and are now ready to unleash what has been a long time coming in their debut self-titled album, which features eleven of their best whip lashing tracks.
The band adds:
"This album is our debut, but at the same time collection of our best songs. It is diverse, bringing in influences from both thrash and death metal, but not forgetting the beautiful melodies of heavy metal. At the far end of the album you can find a short track called 'Grain Brain', which is almost grindcore, then on the other end is 'In Termination', an epic song with Amorphis and Iron Maiden vibes."

Ian Blurton - Signals Through The Flame (2019)
It's time for a veteran to show the new generation how it's done. After 35+ years in the Canadian music industry, playing in over 40 bands and producing, engineering and mixing over 100 albums, Ian Blurton is finally releasing a solo record. You've probably seen Blurton play in your town, fronting Change of Heart, Blurtonia, Bionic, C'mon, or the still-active Public Animal. If you missed those bands, his name is still likely to pop up somewhere in your record collection; you'll find Blurton's producer credit on career-defining albums for Blood Ceremony, Cursed, Tricky Woo, the Weakerthans and more. Or you may have caught him guest with acts as diverse as Richard Lloyd, Buffy Sainte-Marie , the Sadies, Teenage Head, Twink or The Viletones.
It's no surprise that Blurton's inaugural solo effort pulls from an impressive pool of talent and a range of influences. In 2017 a sudden torrent of inspiration brought him a slew of songs best suited to a power-trio format. Enlisting friends who also happened to be some of his favorite drummers and bassists, he set out on a quest to create a combination of dark pop hooks, molten riffage and ambient soundscapes that is his heaviest work to date. Between Blurton's layers-upon-layers of guitar, a plethora of gifted musicians such as Mike Armstrong (King Cobb Steelie), PJ Dunphy (Iron Giant), Eric Larock (Tricky Woo), Glenn Milchem (Blue Rodeo), Damon Richardson (Danko Jones), Anna Ruddick (Randy Bachman), Nick Sewell (Biblical), and Darcy Yates (Flash Lightnin') all make appearance on Signals Through the Flames. The result is a heavy music melting pot with one foot in the past and the other planted firmly in the future.
Mixed by Daryl Smith (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) at Chemical West and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Signals Through The Flames will be released by new Toronto imprint Pajama Party digitally, on vinyl and cassette June 7, 2019.
The first single, Space Is Forever b/w Upon Yesterday, is out May 4 on Yeah Right! Records, launching at a release show at Toronto's Dakota Tavern and can be heard here: ianblurton.bandcamp.comThe live band, Ian Blurton's Future Now, draws from the same talent as the record, and currently features drummer Glenn Milchem, bassist Anna Ruddick and Aaron Goldstein as second guitarist. This spring and summer sees the band playing dates between Montreal and Calgary, including appearances at Sled Island and Hillside Festival.

Hidden Lapse - Butterflies (2019)

The official audio is streaming at the following link: https://youtu.be/g9XlHXYFLe4
The band comments on the album:
"We are all 'Butterflies', our lives spring into each other, too fast. This album puts us behind the eyes of eight unique anti-heroes and victims of our time, who don't belong here though. 'Butterflies' is all about being trapped in recursive routines and still remaining on the outside."
The new album "Butterflies" is an aggressive and melancholic power prog album, with ethereal vocals, abrasive riffing and pounding drums.
Album pre-orders are now available at the Rockshots Records' official store: http://bit.ly/Butterflies_CD

Darany Stands Up for Special Education in Michigan
August 31, 2012 By News Release
LANSING, MI – State Representative George T. Darany (D-Dearborn) joined the Michigan Alliance for Special Education at a rally on the state capitol steps on August 29. The rally was held to encourage more transparency and accountability when developing and implementing special education policy in Michigan. Representative Darany was also joined at the rally by Senator Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D-Taylor) and Representative Tim Greimel (D-Pontiac).
State Representative George T. Darany (D-Dearborn) joined the Michigan Alliance for Special Education at a rally on the state capitol steps on August 29.
"It is no secret how critical our children's education is to their success and the future of this state. We must remain committed to ensuring that our schools have the resources available to provide every child with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel," Darany said. "This is why we need to revise the special education programs and services in Michigan so that the needs of every child in this state are met and I am pleased to be working on legislation that will help accomplish this goal."
In 1996, an executive order was issued that removed much of the authority the State Board of Education had over special education. This was done by transferring the rulemaking power and administrative responsibilities to the state superintendent of public instruction. This shift has allowed Michigan's intermediate school districts to stray from state guidelines and responsibilities on a number of issues, including how many students can be in a classroom or how many students are assigned to one teacher's caseload.
"In the years that have followed since this executive order was issued, our special education teachers have experienced a tremendous increase in their caseloads and classroom sizes have grown dramatically," Darany said. "Our teachers are not only overburdened and overstressed, but our students are not getting the education they need and deserve. It is time that we stand up and are truly responsive to the children for whom these laws are written. We must ensure that a quality education for every child in this state is a top priority if we are going to move Michigan forward."
As a member of the House Education Committee, Rep. Darany is encouraged by the wide range of bipartisan support the legislation has received as it begins to move through the legislative process.

Firefighters put out the fire on South University Saturday night
Print | E-mail | Letter to the editor
By: Mallory Jones and Emily Orley
Daily Staff Reporters

Church Street fire extinguished
Fires ignite Ann Arbor co-op, Nickels Arcade
Fire damages Church Street house
University students and Ann Arbor residents lined South University Avenue Saturday night just like any other weekend, eager to get into the restaurants and bars along the crowded street.
But the scene drastically changed after a large fire broke out on the west side of the street.
The former location of Pinball Pete's, at 1217 S. University Ave., caught fire a little before 11 p.m. Saturday night, drawing hundreds of displaced students, firefighters and police officers to what quickly became a hectic scene.
Ann Arbor Assistant Fire Chief Ed Dziubinski told The Michigan Daily that firefighters first responded to a 911 call received at 10:51 p.m.
Four fire crews immediately rushed to the scene. After initial reports were received from the firefighters on scene, the chief deputy called in a fifth crew for backup. Five minutes later, the Pittsfield Township and Ann Arbor Township fire departments were asked to send one crew each to the growing blaze.
"At the height of the fire there were 55 firefighters actively fighting," Dziubinski said.
The fire became so large that there was concern it would spread to neighboring University Towers, an adjacent apartment building that houses hundreds of University students.
Despite these worries, it was quite some time before the building was completely evacuated. Many residents remained inside the building and watched the flames from their rooms before they were forced to leave.
"A lot of people were leaving because of the smoke," Engineering sophomore Billy Mayer said. "But if people didn't leave because of the smoke, they didn't leave because of the fire alarm."
Mayer, who lives on the eleventh floor of University Towers, did not evacuate until almost midnight, when police officers arrived and told him he had to leave the building.
LSA sophomore Gabe VanLoozen said he remained in his apartment until the fire alarm went off, almost an hour after he first smelled smoke.
"We had a great view from my apartment, it was pretty cool looking," VanLoozen said. "The alarm went off and it got really noisy so we decided we should get out, but we were watching it for about an hour before the alarm went off."
University spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said approximately 600 students from University Towers were temporarily displaced because of the fire. She said students were allowed back into the building around 2 a.m.
But many students reported that they weren't notified when the building was reopened.
"I had a friend check the door close to 1:00 a.m. but it was still closed," VanLoozen said. "I checked it myself around 1:30 a.m. and it was open so I went back in."
According to VanLoozen, the only people in the building after the fire besides the returning residents were inspectors making sure the air quality was safe.
After several attempts to speak with the management of University Towers yesterday, the Daily was told the manager was not working and was unreachable.
Cunningham said the extent of the damage was limited to six apartments in the building.
Undergraduate Program Coordinator Cheryl Erdmann sent an e-mail to Communications Studies majors Sunday night, informing them of damage to the Communications Studies offices located in the same building as University Towers.
"Our offices have sustained minor damage from smoke and water and a broken front glass door pane," Erdmann wrote in the e-mail. "We do not have computer or telephone access in the department at this time."
"We are attempting to resolve these issues as quickly as possible," she added.
Dziubinski told the Daily that investigation had begun into the cause of the fire as of 2 a.m. Sunday morning. But he said he was unable to comment on the investigation because it is ongoing.
However, Battalion Chief Robert Voteo said yesterday that the owner of Pinball Pete's mentioned an issue of trespassing.
"The building owner said that it has been a continuous problem since it's been vacant," Voteo said.
Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Diane Brown told the Daily around 2 a.m. Sunday morning that she was not aware of anyone receiving medical attention.
Within minutes of the first signs of smoke emitting from the house, students began to pack into the street to watch the flames.
Even though police officers had attempted to blockade the sidewalk on both the Church Street and South Forest Avenue sides, the crowds outside remained and onlookers were able to make their ways to the scene through a passageway, called the South University Galleria Shopping Center, between buildings across the street.
While most University students never got the chance to frequent the former location of Pinball Pete's, residents who lived in Ann Arbor during the arcade's prime were visibly upset at the scene of the fire.
Marni Glovinsky, lifetime Ann Arbor resident, watched the inferno from across the street, tears streaming down her face.
Glovinsky said she spent nearly everyday when she was 14 years old at Pinball Pete's.
"It's like watching your whole childhood burn down," she said.
While the fire burned on the west side of South University Avenue, the east side of the street remained a bustling night scene.
Both of the bars on the block stayed open throughout the entire sequence of events and patrons lined up outside as if it was any other fall Saturday night.
Natalie Putman, a waitress and bartender at The Brown Jug, said the bar was not affected by the commotion outside.
"It wasn't really an issue," she said. "A lot of people were just running up to the front (of the restaurant) to watch."
Momo Tea, located directly next door to the burning building, was completely empty in the midst of the fire, but the lights remained on and the "open" sign illuminated.
Calls to Momo Tea throughout Sunday afternoon were unanswered and the store was locked and dark early Sunday evening.

Sonia Johnson, Voice
Teaching at:
Call us to check the availability of the teacher and make your registration appointment.
Blame it on Michel Donato! Sonia Johnson was not planning on a career in jazz. All it took was a few master classes with the renowned bass virtuoso and she was hooked. Though known as a jazz musician, Sonia has never turned her back on other musical genres, leading an eclectic and varied musical career.
A woman of many talents, Sonia produced her first opus, Don't Explain, in 2005. It is a multilingual collection of jazz standards bursting with the freshness of scat, a style that Sonia holds very dear. Her latest album, Le Carré de nos amours, JUNO Award winner for 2012 Vocal jazz album of the year, is a perfect blend of the improvisational spontaneity of jazz and the lyricism of French chanson à texte. The fiery singer's passion for both musical traditions is on full display in this latest effort.
Ms. Johnson has performed at many high-profile events — including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Jazz en rafale and the Festival en chanson de Petite-Vallée — and has won a number of prizes and bursaries from the Fondation du maire de Montréal pour la jeunesse, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and Musicaction.
Sonia has had the privilege of collaborating with exceptional musicians throughout her career, including Vic Vogel, François Bourassa, Sylvain Provost, Félix Stüssi, Roberto Lopez, John Roney, Marianne Trudel, Karen Young and Dawn Tyler Watson.
So thank you, Mr. Donato! Without your influence, jazz lovers would not be blessed with Sonia Johnson's original and refreshing vocal talents...

Using Technology to Better Serve Customers
By Carol Haddock, Director, Houston Public Works
Carol Haddock, Director, Houston Public Works
Technology is changing the way cities across the country operate and provide services. Houston Public Works is no exception. We must modernize the way we solve problems from the roads we drive on to our drinking water to how we communicate with customers. The City of Houston is consistently turning to innovation to improve how we deliver services which improve the quality of life for more than two million residents. This directly impacts how the industry functions today and tomorrow.
As Houston continues to grow, the city is constantly searching for ways to improve our transportation system. Earlier this year, Houston participated in Transportation for America's Smart Cities Collaborative program with 22 other communities. Houston has been an early leader in adopting advanced traffic signal technology. Right now, Houston Public Works maintains and operates 650 Bluetooth Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) readers at traffic signals. This technology utilizes Anonymous Wireless Address Matching (AWAM) to detect vehicles equipped with enabled Bluetooth networking devices such as cellular phones, mobile GPS systems and in-vehicle navigation systems. Each AWAM reader senses the devices as they pass through a traffic signal and transmits the time and location of the device to a central host system. As data comes in from other traffic signals, the host system calculates average travel times and speeds for a roadway segment. This data is distributed to the hub of our transportation operations, Houston Transtar, and used to track corridor speeds and travel times allowing us to study demand patterns and trends. This information can then be relayed to the community to assist commuters in route selection, which can minimize delay and emissions. The public also continues to search for green transportation. Houston is consistently focusing on emerging technologies such as transportation network companies and dockless bikeshare. We continue to explore the possibility of improved first mile/last mile transit access with an expanded high capacity transit system. This could vastly improve Houston's congestion problem. We're also interested in using parking data to adjust our parking policies such as dynamic pricing and progressive pricing.
Community engagement represents another key to reshaping business model with technology
New tools can improve our transportation challenges. By working with different communities, we can combine ideas to implement new mobility technologies and policies. These tools require our industry to change how it does business and the techniques we use in everyday operations.
Innovative software programs are giving customers real-time results. We've seen huge success with the city's Pothole Repair Initiative. Citizens can report potholes over the phone or through a 311 app. That information is then relayed to software programs used by workers in the field. Crews use tablets in the field to relay information about when and where a pothole is repaired. It's transmitted back to a website which gives users updates on repairs by the hour. City employees proactively repair potholes, then relay information about those locations through their tablet, too. Since implementing the program, the city has repaired more than 150,000 potholes in less than three years. Houston Public Works is currently working to improve on this technology even further. Software programs are eliminating paperwork and time consuming written reports. Data can be computed and analyzed in minutes instead of hours, improving the workflow from our employees and the success rate of the program. Results already show the more effective the program, the fewer potholes there are to fill. This type of collaboration between field construction and software enables workers to fill hundreds of potholes in a day compared to dozens. Houston Public Works was recently awarded 2018 In-House Project of the Year for pothole repairs by the APWA – TPWA Texas Chapter.
Over the past few months, the City has been supported forward-thinking to advance our water/wastewater technology. Houston Water partnered with Accelerate H20 to launch the country's first large-scale technology demonstration hub in 2017. We promised our customers access to the most innovative water and wastewater technology in the nation. This allows us to improve our work-flow practices. By integrating technical and engineering programs, we can reduce our waste and optimize the overall system. This requires additional training for the workforce. The Houston Water Innovation Hub will not only improve our operations, but allow us to share information with other cities. This will ultimately improve our real-time forecasting in response to Flash-Flood Alley (Dallas to San Antonio) and the Gulf Coast.
Community engagement represents another key to reshaping our business model with technology. Whether it's through social media, online surveys or community meetings, working with the public can transform the construction industry. For example, Houston's Adopt-a-Drain program allows the community to prevent future flooding, save taxpayers' dollars and keeps our neighborhoods clean. The program prevents the City from having to use valuable staff time to clean drains. Residents adopt drains in their communities and promise to keep them clean from leaves and trash, especially before it rains. This type of engagement not only improves the relationship between the city and the community, but allows Houston Public Works to utilize workers for more valuable resources. Looking forward, cities can expect drastic change in how we conduct operations thanks to emerging technologies. It will streamline processes and improve connection between the public sector and the community.

The historic city wall tower "Seilerturm" is probably the oldest one in the mostly still existing city wall in Fuessen. Spend an extraordinary time in your own tower with five floors which presents the entrance to the old town. Enjoy the lovely view of your own roof terrace!


I have always heard that you couldn't get a mortgage on a property under $100k. I never knew why you couldn't I just accepted it as fact. Do you or anyone you know have any experience with these less than $100k loans?
My minimum is 50K but every now and then make an exception. There is not much profit in these smaller loans.
@Max Cohen , afaik, you'll find the common consensus around BP is: minimum $50k!
I've read posts on here from other users saying they were able to find banks and/or credit unions that write loans under $100k. Unfortunately I don't recall specific referrals but if you dig around you'll find them. They do exist!
I have always heard that you couldn't get a mortgage on a property under $100k.
I never knew why you couldn't I just accepted it as fact.
Do you or anyone you know have any experience with these less than $100k loans?
If you were told by a bank that they don't deal with sub $100K loans, its probably because they are less profitable, find a different bank. Perhaps small community bank or credit union, or a direct lender.
in my area there is a credit union that will do a portfolio loan as little as $30K.
I put a mortgage on a property for $44k. They make up their money by making it a no-prepayment mortgage. I have to ride it out for the five year term. It's through the commercial arm of a local bank. Same interest rate as all my other mortgages just can't pay it off early.
@Max Cohen yes you can do a loan under $100K. Certain lenders say we can't do a certain loan amount because of profit more than anything.
In my experience it's less than $50k for a mortgage. What banks have told you only $100k+? Crypto is the currency of the future! #bitcoin!!!!
They're hard to find, but it's possible. I'm currently about to close on a property for $39,000. I going to purchase with hard- money, fix up the property, and then refinance with a small bank that would do such a small amount. It's possible you just have to be creative and make your goals a reality! Also you could go to a credit union for a personal loan, but the max term for that is usually 5 years.
@James Gleeson I am in search of a hard money lender that will lend less than $100k. Can you message me with info on who you used?


Alcohol is very common and widely used in the whole world as a very common substance. Although the consumption of alcohol is allowed and permitted in many countries all over the world, if the consumption of alcohol is misused, it can lead to serious problems.
Consumption of alcohol is to get relaxed and get pleasure but if one is not able to control the consumption of alcohol, then that can be a serious problem. In the recent years, the abuse of alcohol has increased and you must be aware of your surroundings. Should you find anyone seriously alcoholic, you must help the alcoholic.
How to approach an alcoholic?
It might seem very scary to approach an alcoholic especially if it has affected you badly. You have to be very calm and composed and never approach them at the time they are drunk. You have to wait for the right time before you talk to them about their habit.
If the problem is too severe, you have to consult a counsellor or a physician before you start helping the alcoholic. They will let you know how to approach and treat the alcoholic person.
The most important thing that you have to learn is that you have to support the alcoholic person no matter what. Try talking some sense into them, let them know their values, they're worth and make them realize the valuable time they are wasting by the consumption of alcohol.
Find out more about the needs and wishes of the alcoholic person. Try finding out the reason which made him/her get into drinking so much alcohol. Try to find out the void in their lives which made them get addicted to drinking this unlimited quantity of alcohol. If you get to know these reasons, then it will be very easy to help an alcoholic.
However, you can never go for sudden withdrawal of alcohol because a person extremely addicted to alcohol can fall seriously ill if you make them leave it suddenly. You have to seek medical advice if you want to help an alcoholic.
If you go for medically supervised detox, it will be much easier to help an alcoholic. This will be monitored and checked carefully for a few days and after the dangerous withdrawal period has passed, the patient will himself recover and the process will be much easier.
Although drinking alcohol can be very relaxing, enjoyable and pleasurable, one should always stay in limit and drink alcohol in a limited quantity. It is very easy to get addicted to alcohol especially for those who have problems in their lives.
People who are depressed and sad can easily get addicted to it. It is very important that you help an alcoholic because with time if they do not get out of this addiction, it can deteriorate their overall health.
With medical supervision, physicians and proper counselling, it will be quite easy to help an alcoholic person.

Exclusive — Michigan Poll: Justin Amash Underwater Beneath 20 Percent, Trails Challenger by Double Digits

3 Jul 2019 Washington, D.C.
Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), the Michigan Never Trump GOP congressman who recently publicly backed impeachment of President Donald Trump, is now underwater in his own district according to a poll obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.
Amash is polling at just 17 percent in the GOP primary, trailing State Rep. Jim Lower by double digits. Lower, who announced his candidacy as Amash revealed his support for impeaching Trump, is at 27 percent–a 10-point lead over Amash. What's more, another Amash challenger, State Rep. Lynn Afendoulis, is tied with the congressman for 17 percent–meaning one challenger to the incumbent representative is beating him by double digits and a second is already tied with him.
Another challenger, activist Tom Norton, is at 5 percent in this poll. Pete Meijer, the heir to the Meijer supermarket chain fortune who just announced his candidacy on Wednesday, polls at just 4 percent in this survey. Thirty percent of respondents were undecided.
The poll, conducted by Strategic National, surveyed 400 likely Republican voters in Michigan's third congressional district from June 29 to July 1 and has a margin of error of 4.89 percent.
Another potential candidate, businessman and real estate developer Joel Langlois who owns the DeltaPlex facility in which President Trump has held rallies as well as manufacturing companies, is also considering running for the seat, sources familiar with the matter tell Breitbart News, but he was not polled in this survey.
Strategic National has a track record as a political consulting and polling firm for getting Michigan politics correct. In fact, it was the only firm in the nation to correctly call the Michigan victory by President Trump over Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016, publishing a poll showing a tie between the two in the final days of the election. The GOP firm, which represents various clients around the country, does not currently have a horse in the race in Michigan's third congressional district–but says in a release it reserves the right to take one on and may do so down the road.
Amash backed impeachment of President Trump back in late May on Twitter, with a series of tweets laying out his reasoning.
People who say there were no underlying crimes and therefore the president could not have intended to illegally obstruct the investigation—and therefore cannot be impeached—are resting their argument on several falsehoods:
— Justin Amash (@justinamash) May 20, 2019
Right afterwards, Lower announced he would be challenging Amash in the primary and surged in the race in polling with the help of significant media attention on his candidacy including especially from Fox News. Lower has framed himself as a pro-Trump candidate, and while his position at this time is strong sources familiar with the race say that should Langlois enter the race he could take the mantle quickly with his vast resources and deep ties to Trump.
In fact, Trump held rallies in Langlois' DeltaPlex facility as far back as 2015, when Trump praised him from the stage of the rally there in Grand Rapids:
What's perhaps even more interesting is that three of the other candidates–Afendoulis, Meijer, and Norton–all have ties into the same Never Trump community that voters are furious with Amash over. Lower has accused Norton of being Never Trump, exposing old Facebook posts from Norton from 2016 saying he would not vote for Trump against Clinton when Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee. Afendoulis similarly made a series of Never Trump comments in 2016, according to a press release from Lower's campaign, including calling both Trump and Clinton "batshit crazy" after Trump won the Michigan primary in March 2016.
She also according to Lower's press release (see link below) made a series of negative comments throughout the general election about Trump, saying Americans would be better off dead than with him as president.
Jim Lower Congress Press Release- Anti-Trump Afendoulis Running in MI CD 3_6-27-19_A (1)
Meijer, meanwhile, has his own deep history with Never Trump and leftist causes. In October 2016, three weeks before the general election, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show that Meijer donated $250 to an organization that was formed to stop President Trump from defeating Clinton. The organization, called "Common Defense," says on its website it was formed by veterans in 2016 who viewed Trump as a "real threat."
"Common Defense was born out of the 2016 U.S. presidential election when military veterans recognized Donald Trump as a real threat," the website for the organization to which Meijer contributed says. "We knew that he could win and we mobilized to stop him. Since then, we've grown into a powerful movement with more than 150,000 supporters and tens of thousands of veterans and military families across all 50 states."
In 2017, after Trump was president Meijer wrote a piece widely circulated by leftists claiming in part about Trump that his team was pushing "a backdrop of White House half-truths and outright lies."
The same FEC records also show Meijer maxed out to Amash in 2017, contributing $5,400 over two donations to the Never Trump congressman he is considering running against now–in addition to having teamed up with, according to news reports, anti-Trump leftist billionaires Jeff Bezos of Amazon and the Washington Post as well as former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg on a PAC that claims to be bipartisan.
Meijer also recently deleted his Twitter account, which was full of Never Trump comments and retweets.
Meijer's announcement video on Wednesday makes no mention of Trump, but praises former President Gerald Ford by showing a quote from him. Ford nearly lost a primary to Ronald Reagan, who would later win the White House after Ford lost it to former President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat:
Strategic National CEO John Yob, whose firm conducted the poll, said in a release obtained by Breitbart News that there are two big takeaways from this survey: First, Amash is in serious trouble and his only real path back to his congressional seat is if Democrats cross over to vote for him in the GOP primary. Second, Yob says, Meijer is not registering–and is unlikely to given his past–so that leaves this field wide open at this stage.
"Congressman Amash has a path to victory by turning out Democrats to vote in the Republican Primary in a crowded field that isn't represented in the topline results of the survey," Yob said. "The results of the Democrat portion of the survey are consistent with the strong Democrat turnout he had at his townhall meeting."
Amash's approval rating with likely GOP voters surveyed is underwater as well. A whopping 52 percent view him as "very unfavorable," with another 19 percent saying they view him as "somewhat unfavorable." Only 12 percent view him as "somewhat favorable" and another 12 percent view him as "very favorable."
Amash's position is very similar to another Never Trump Republican from last election cycle, now former Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ)–who ended up not running for re-election given how badly he was polling in his primary at the time. Some fear that Amash may bow out–in much the same way Flake eventually did–to clear the way to try to pass the mantle to Meijer, who shares his views on the president and even retweeted Amash's thread calling for Trump's impeachment on his since-deleted account. But for now, Amash is still in the race.
"Pete Meijer hardly registers despite his famous last name and publicity surrounding his Bezos and Bloomberg funded political action committee that helped Democrats win control of Congress in 2018," Yob added. "Meijer and Amash appear to be positioned to compete for the same anti-Trump voters and hoping for significant Democrat turnout in the open primary that could be similar to McCain 2000 and Snyder 2010."
What's more, the survey shows GOP voters in Amash's district strongly want someone who is a "strong supporter of President Trump." In fact, 82 percent replied they want someone who is a "strong supporter of President Trump" whereas only 7 percent said they want the GOP nominee to be someone who engages in "criticizing President Trump." Six percent had no opinion on that question and 4 percent were unsure.

Welcome back Greg Olsen, who exploded for 9 catches, 116 yards and 1 TD in Week 15 against the Packers. The matchup with Tampa Bay is not an easy one this week, but when healthy he is one of those players who you slot into your lineup regardless of the opponent. Coming off this type of performance, is there reason for doubt?
Eric Ebron doesn't often get a lot of attention, but over the past two weeks he's been targeted 18 times (15 receptions, 127 yards, 1 TD). It's hard not to think that there's upside against the Bengals, who have allowed TD to opponents in back-to-back weeks (in Week 14 Adam Sheehan & Dion Sims combined for 6 receptions, 76 yards and 1 TD).
After it looked like Kyle Rudolph would miss Week 15, he ultimately played and scored a TD for the fourth straight game (5 TD total over this stretch). He hasn't been putting up monster numbers though (he hasn't had more than 63 yards in a game all season long) and the last time he faced Green Bay he managed 5 catches for 47 yards. He's a TD dependent option, and when coupled with the injury he's hard to consider a must use.
As quickly as Jimmy Graham rose to a viable option, he's completely disappeared. Over the past two weeks he's totaled 1 catch for -1 yard, being targeted a total of 5 times. Maybe he rebounds in a favorable matchup? Perhaps, but with your fantasy title hanging in the balance that's not something you want to depend on.
While the splash of Ricky Seals-Jones appears to be a distant memory, he belongs on radars again this week with a matchup against the Giants. It's more likely that a TE finds the end zone than he doesn't against New York, making Seals-Jones this week's best potential streamer.
Professor, I have been running with Jimmy Graham all year but am seriously considering picking up Eric Ebron of the waiver wire for this week. I am worried of over thinking this but given Graham's past two weeks is it completely out of line to lean towards starting Ebron this week?
Who would you play from this group?
Thank you for ALL of your advice. Happy New Year!!!!
This is a PPR leagues too.
I'm in a year-long PPR league where we have two conferences (16 total teams/8 teams each) so two teams can have some of the same players. I've made the playoffs and the team I'm playing is playing Greg Olsen at TE. I have Greg Olsen too but I also have Travis Kelce. My question is, would it be smarter for me to match my opponent and also play Greg Olsen to minimize the risk of being killed by a huge game from Olsen (as he had last week)and try to win with my other players where I do think I have the advantage, or should I roll the dice and hope that Kelce lives up to the performance everyone expects him to have?
I'm going Ertz. Philly should be going pass heavy in an effort to help establish the rapport between Foles and his receivers heading into the playoffs.
Ok..Only reason I was thinking OLSON is I got JEFFERY too. 2 eggs in same basket…??

From the Archives: Christopher Reeve, 52; 'Superman' Actor, Advocate for Disabled
Christopher Reeve shown in 1993.
By Eric Slater, Times Staff Writer
Actor Christopher Reeve, star of the "Superman" movies who became even more famous as an advocate for the disabled after he was paralyzed from the neck down in a 1995 horseback riding accident, died Sunday. He was 52.
Reeve fell into a coma Saturday after going into cardiac arrest at his New York home, his publicist, Wesley Combs, told Associated Press late Sunday night.
Reeve recently was being treated for a pressure wound, a common complication of paralysis, Combs said. The wound became infected and led to a systemic infection. Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday night and never regained consciousness. His family was at his side at the time of death.
"On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank Northern Westchester Hospital for the excellent care they provided to my husband," Reeve's wife, Dana, said in a statement. "I also want to thank his personal staff of nurses and aides, as well as the millions of fans from around the world who have supported and loved my husband over the years."
A tall, dark-haired actor perfectly suited for the role of the "Man of Steel," Reeve showed true fortitude as a quadriplegic who pledged he would one day walk again.
After his accident, Reeve became a powerful advocate for pushing the boundaries of medicine. His New Jersey-based Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation emerged under his star power and relentless fundraising as a leading source for research money, giving out more than $42.5 million to neuroscientists.
In recent days, his struggle became a reference point for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry, who said in Friday's debate with President Bush that he believed embryonic stem cell research should be expanded, saying it would be the best way to give Reeve and others like him the chance for a better life.
"Chris was an inspiration to all of us," Kerry said Monday during a campaign stop in Santa Fe, N.M. "His tireless efforts will always be remembered and honored and, in part because of his work, millions will one day walk again."
Reeve was a prominent and forceful advocate for expanding embryonic stem cell research and a critic of Bush's 2001 decision to limit federal funding to existing stem cell lines. Even before that decision, Reeve, who could speak only briefly and haltingly because of his breathing tube, testified before the U.S. Senate on what he saw as perhaps his best hope for recovery.
In his statement to lawmakers, he said: "While we prolong the stem cell debate, millions continue to suffer. We must harness the power of the government and go forward."
Reeve, an accomplished horseman, broke the top two cervical vertebrae and injured his spinal cord when he was thrown from his horse and landed on his head during competitive trials at an event in Culpeper, Va.
At the time, doctors called the injury one of the worst possible. But Reeve, almost from the start, was determined to prove experts wrong. A few months after the accident, Reeve protested tabloid reports saying he had been pleading to die. "I have not given up. I will never give up," he said.
After months of physical therapy, he was able to breathe for short periods without a respirator and began to lobby Congress for better insurance protection against life-changing injuries.
A year after his accident, Reeve accepted an invitation to the Academy Awards despite the struggle he faced from airplane travel and his still-tenuous condition. He received a prolonged standing ovation from the gathered stars and brought many in the audience to tears with his plea for more films that address social problems.
"I think that setting challenges is a great motivator, because too many people with disabilities allow that to become the dominating factor in their lives, and I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life," Reeve told The Times after his appearance. "I don't mean to be reckless, but setting a goal that seems a bit daunting actually is very helpful toward recovery."
Reeve crisscrossed the country with an entourage of nurses as an advocate for the disabled and handicapped, speaking to college students, actors and almost anyone who would listen.
Born Sept. 25, 1952, in New York City to journalist Barbara Johnson and writer and professor Franklin Reeve, he began acting as a child and continued to perform professionally as he studied at Cornell University and then New York's Juilliard School of Performing Arts.
In 1974, he began playing the role of Ben Harper in the television soap opera "Love of Life." He took other small roles in television, theater and film, and in 1976 made his Broadway debut opposite Katharine Hepburn in "A Matter of Gravity." While performing in another play in New York in 1976, Reeve auditioned for the role that would make him a star. With Marlon Brando playing his father and Gene Hackman as the evil Lex Luthor, "Superman" was a blockbuster when it was released in 1978, and Reeve became a household name. He would eventually star in four Superman films.
During the 18 months he spent shooting the film, mostly in England, Reeve began a relationship with modeling executive Gae Exton, with whom he had two children.
Reeve returned to acting after the accident, and in 1997 made his directorial debut with the critically acclaimed TV movie "In the Gloaming."
With a long history of political activism, working on behalf of such groups as Amnesty International, Save the Children and the Natural Resources Defense Council, however, he spent most of his time in his new role as an advocate. Among his numerous philanthropic pursuits, Reeve helped establish the Reeve-Irvine Research Center at UC Irvine College of Medicine.
In addition to his wife, Reeve is survived by their 12-year-old son, Will; his two children from the relationship with Exton, Matthew, 25, and Alexandra, 21; his mother and father; and a brother, Benjamin Reeve.

OTT Technologies presents its new MRAP mine protected vehicle Puma M36 Mk5 at AAD 2012.
OTT Technologies Puma M36 Mk5 MRAP mine protected vehicle at AAD 2012.
With the new Puma M36 Mk5, OTT Technologies proposes a new vehicle for the African market that has been designed and developed based on the experience gained by the use of the previous version of Puma M26 which is in service in several African countries.
The new Puma M36 Mk5 is based on Ashok Leyland Stallion truck driveline to reduce manufacturing costs and logistical support. The Stallion truck is used by Indian army since many years showing excellent mobility on all types of terrain. The Puma M36 Mk5 is motorized with an Ashok Leyland engine HA 57L 165 coupled to a ZF 6S 850 GB transmission.
The Puma M36 Mk5 uses the technology of V-shape with a monocoque hull. The purpose of design is to increase vehicle and crew survivability by deflecting an upward directed blast from a landmine (or Improvised Explosive Device) away from the vehicle, while also presenting a sloped armor face.
The vehicle can carry 12 fully equipped soldiers, including the driver. The M36 can be used as an armoured personnel carrier, command and control vehicle or ambulance. The interior can easily be reconfigured by replacing any number of the individually mounted seats with purpose designed modules like additional radio racks, command and control modules, ambulance equipment, etc.

AAP Tennis
De Minaur declares he'll be ready for Open
Alex de Minaur - AAP
Alex de Minaur has declared he'll be fit and ready to go for the start of his Australian Open campaign, despite a gruelling schedule in which he will play three matches in as many days.
De Minaur was critical of the grand slam's organisers for refusing to push his opening-round clash with Portugal's Pedro Sousa back to Tuesday, with the pair scheduled to take to Margaret Court Arena on Monday afternoon.
The 19-year-old was forced to spend more than three-and-a-half hours on court on Saturday in Sydney on the way to his maiden ATP Tour title, after he played his semi-final and final on the same day due to earlier rain.
But spurred on by his straight-sets victory over Andreas Seppi in the final, de Minaur won't take a negative approach into Monday as he sets his sights on the biggest fortnight of his career.
"Once the time comes, I'll be ready," de Minaur declared.
"I don't want to think about it too much.
"I feel like the body is good. I'm mentally fresh.
"I just can't wait to get back out on court, and especially at the Australian Open.
"There is no bigger stage than that. I'm really looking forward to just going out there and competing, firing up and hopefully play some good tennis."
De Minaur flew to Melbourne shortly after his Sydney win, landing early on Sunday morning.
He'll enter the tournament as one of the great local hopes, easily in the best form of his career and as Australia's top-ranked male for the first time at a grand slam after going since last year from No.208 to 30.
It means all eyes will be on de Minaur as part of a big first day at Melbourne Park, which also has Ashleigh Barty starting her women's campaign against Luksika Kumkhum, John Millman facing Feliciano Lopez and Bernard Tomic taking on No.6 seed Marin Cilic.
"I feel like I have dealt with the sort of nerves and pressure and expectation these coming weeks quite well, and I think it's just something to get used to it," de Minaur said.
"At the end of the day, you're just the same guy.
"You've got to keep doing the same things, and the most important thing is just keep listening to the team of guys around you, because they have your best interest at heart.
"Just keep wanting to improve day in, day out, and I'm a strong believer that if I keep doing those things, then I'll get better as a person and as a player. With that, the results will come."

Alcohol Linked to Small Increase in Cataract Risk
Among women, each daily drink associated with 7 percent increase in cataract extraction risk
FRIDAY, April 27 (HealthDay News) -- Daily consumption of just one alcoholic drink may be associated with a moderate increase in the risk of future cataract extraction, researchers report in the April issue of the journal Ophthalmology.
Birgitta Ejdervik Lindblad, M.D., of Sundsvall Hospital in Sundsvall, Sweden, and colleagues prospectively followed 34,713 women, aged 49 to 83, to assess the impact of alcohol and smoking on future risk of cataract extraction. Over seven years of follow-up, 3,587 cataract extractions were recorded in the study group.
The age-related relative risk of cataract extraction for current drinkers was 1.10 relative to those who never drank, and 1.15 for past drinkers; the relative risk for both groups was 1.11 after also adjusting for such factors as education, smoking, diabetes and body mass index. Smoking had no effect on the risk of cataract, but the level of alcohol intake did, with each 13 grams of alcohol per day associated with a 7 percent increase in risk. The mean age of cataract extraction among non-smoking women who used alcohol was 75, compared with 77.6 for women who did not drink.
"Our data suggest that, among women, daily consumption of one or more alcoholic drinks may increase the risk of cataract extraction," the authors conclude.

On the evening of April 28th, at the Hilton Metrotown Hotel, the Burnaby Board of Trade brought 150 local employers and connected them with ready-to-hire new immigrants in a round table discussion in an effort to bring more awareness to the issue of new immigrant employment.
The guest speaker was the infectious, passionate Ian Cook, Director of Research and Policy for the BC Human Resources Association. He enthusiastically spoke about his HR experience working with large firms in Europe and after moving to Canada, was faced with the question, "Do you have any Canadian Experience," to which half of the room nodded their heads. He spewed out a series of alarming numbers, long story short, that Canadian employers must look at foreign born immigrants as a source of recruitment to survive. He asked employers sitting in the room to ask instead, "How is your experience relevant in Canada?" to get a better answer during interviews.
The Burnaby Board of Trade showed a video of their sponsored bus that brought close to 30 new immigrants to three different Burnaby employers for a site visit. They were shown the working environment, given a short presentation from the respective HR manager regarding what they're looking for, etc. The video showed the job seekers really appreciating the insight and experience, but many of them have become somewhat bitter from their long job search process.
We were then broken into roundtables − two employers per table, along with eight job seekers. I was sitting with an East Indian man who is a programmer working at IBM, not an employer, but representing IBM. He immediately got slammed with questions from job seekers, if IBM is hiring, and how they can apply etc. Because he wasn't in HR, he could only tell them his own job seeking experience, but that didn't satisfy the candidates.
I took the facilitation role and asked everyone what their concerns were, and addressed each of them. One job seeker was an eager Chinese lady whose work experience is in import exporting. She was quite impatient and often cut me off mid sentence. It made me laugh, because this type of behaviour is considered normal in Asia, but considered very disrespectful and exactly the reason why she's unemployed.
I did get to meet some great job candidates with IT background, and Steve, an IT security specialist from Russian later came to work with us as a job candidate. I see great potential in him and hope to place him soon.
It is really great to see Burnaby Board of Trade and Surrey Chamber of Commerce taking initiative in addressing issues within the community and building the bridge so it helps those less advantaged. Diversity should not be a slogan, but something we champion everyday.

Home Trend Watch the moment Chris Cuomo reunited with his family after coronavirus isolation
Watch the moment Chris Cuomo reunited with his family after coronavirus isolation
Julia Carroll
CNN host Chris Cuomo emerged from his basement and met his family, after weeks of isolation. He came back upstairs to his family after being cleared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He said he was yearning for this reunion for days. His wife Cristina, who had also been tested positive, has been cleared by CDC.
Cristina and their two children, Mario, 14, and Carolina, 10, greeted Cuomo as he emerged from the basement in a video shot by their 17-year-old daughter, Bella. Cuomo gave a detailed account of his experience in fighting the novel coronavirus. He said to have had symptoms like high fever, cold shivers, and also a hallucination involving his father Mario Cuomo, who died five years ago. He is known to have lost 13 pounds in just 3 days.

BOSTON — A nor'easter that could deliver up to 2 feet of snow to some areas socked New England on Tuesday, bringing blizzard conditions to parts of coastal Massachusetts, covering highways with snow and knocking out power to tens of thousands.
A blizzard was confirmed in Boston, as well as Plymouth, Hyannis and Falmouth. Blizzard warnings were issued for the entire coast of Maine, New Hampshire and most of Massachusetts.
Although the latest storm was not expected to bring as many power outages as a nor'easter last week because the snow is lighter and fluffier, more than 150,000 customers in Massachusetts lost power by late Tuesday morning.

Q: $unset for subarray in mongodb does not work I have a collection of the form
{
   "student_id":"123",
   "test": [ { "date_created": "12/3/2013" } ]
}

I want to unset the date field. I use the following query:
db.student.update({ "student_id" : "1234"} { "$unset" : { "test.$.date_created" : ""}})

I also tried this:
db.student.update({ "student_id" : "1234"} { "$unset" : { "test.date_created" : ""}})

but, it doesn't work.

A: You should take a look at the docs again about updates with a positional operator.
From the docs:

The array field must appear in the query argument in order to determine which array element to update.

so, we can get what you want to happen by doing the following:
db.student.update({ student_id: 123, 'test.date_created': { $exists: true } }, { $unset: { 'test.$.date_created': "" } }

That will unset the field off the first object in the array that has a date_created.
If you know the position of the date_created field in the array you want to remove:
db.student.update({ student_id: 123 }, { $unset: { 'test.0.date_created': "" } }

If you know the date you want to remove:
db.student.update({ student_id: 123, 'test.date_created': "12/3/2013" }, { $unset: { 'test.$.date_created': "" } }

However, because of the schema in your example, that will leave you with an empty object inside your array...


In a world of constant disruption and technological advancement, technology vendors and companies that publishes content on a regular basis are likely to collaborate closer than ever, which is especially true for the publishing industry: With their business model focused purely on publishing they are exceptionally fit to benefit from upcoming tech R&D investments .
To further enhance its collaboration with the sector, censhare has continued its relationship with the UK Professional Publishers Association (PPA) and will attend and sponsor the PPA Festival 2017 as well as other events during 2017/2018.
The Professional Publishers Association (PPA) represents around 220 UK companies, ranging from consumer magazine publishers to business-to-business data and information providers, customer magazine publishers and smaller independent companies.
The PPA Festival , in London on 10th May, brings together the UK publishing industry, sharing insights and experiences through a great line up of industry speakers across 6 stages. Many of these speakers represent censhare clients, including Bauer Media Group, Condé Nast and Hearst Magazines UK and key technology partner, Pugpig will also be speaking.
The censhare partnership with PPA goes beyond sponsorship of the festival, but also includes sponsorship of an educational program that will share their experience and expertise in operationalising and monetisation of large scale, multi-channel content production.
Ian Truscott, Global VP Marketing, censhare AG explains; "It's fantastic to continue to work with the PPA and their members, many of whom are clients that we have worked with for many years and to be a part of this community. I'm looking forward to the festival, the chance to connect with these industry leaders."

The ProgressCRM Query module, is a powerful tool. Not only can you filter your database to produce telephone or mailing lists, but you can also use those lists to update the database; setting flags or adding contact history items to record a mailing event. In recent versions of Progress you can even use your query results in the advanced search screen, allowing you to create a list of contacts which require further data entry, and then use your query results to work through each one.
The various tabs and columns available to you in Query are usually customised for each organisation at the time of implementation. However it is important to remember that the choices available to you within these tabs are entirely customisable. Each tab is based on a SQL Server 'view', and that view can have new columns added to it. You can bring data together from numerous tables, or create columns which contain the results of complex calculations.
Clients often say to me that they need to go through numerous steps, merging one query to another, simply to add columns which do not appear in their starting query tab. These fields can often be brought together in a single tab, saving time and reducing the chance of error.
As your organisation grows, your query requirements are likely to change, so keep in mind that the information held in a custom data entry tab, or even another database, can easily be brought into the Query module with a little customisation.

«Женские грёзы» (, Женские мечты) — художественный фильм шведского кинорежиссёра Ингмара Бергмана 1955 года. В основе сюжета — один день из жизни двух женщин — юной фотомодели и её начальницы.

Сюжет
Сюзанна (Эва Дальбек), хозяйка стокгольмской фотостудии, собирается ехать в Гётеборг, якобы для организации фотосессии. Но все её подчинённые осведомлены об истинной цели поездки — Сюзанна организовала её, чтобы встретиться с Хенриком, женатым мужчиной, с которым она рассталась несколько месяцев назад.

Вместе с Сюзан должна ехать Дорис (Харриет Андерссон), фотомодель, юная и легкомысленная девушка. Палле () пытается отговорить её от поездки, чтобы отпраздновать успешно сданные им экзамены, но Дорис ссорится с ним, и заявляет, что между ними всё кончено. Вечером в дороге Сюзанна борется с желанием открыть дверь вагона и выпрыгнуть под проходящий мимо поезд.

Дорис гуляет по Гётеборгу, разглядывая витрины дорогих магазинов с одеждой и ювелирными украшениями. Возле одной из витрин с ней знакомится Отто Сёндерби (Гуннар Бьёрнстранд), пожилой респектабельно одетый мужчина и предлагает купить для Дорис понравившееся ей платье. После недолгих уговоров она соглашается. Отто заказывает платье и туфли в ателье, а в ювелирном магазине — жемчужное ожерелье. Увлечённая примеркой Дорис слишком поздно вспоминает о запланированной съёмке. На площади, где её ждали фотографы и Сюзанна, она появляется с опозданием на час. Сюзанна приходит в бешенство, отменяет съёмку и увольняет Дорис. Её находит Отто, вместе они идут в кафе, в парк аттракционов, затем в его особняк. В особняке Дорис замечает на стене портрет похожей на неё красивой молодой женщины. Отто поясняет, что это портрет его жены, которая уже двадцать три года содержится в психиатрической лечебнице, куда она попала после рождения дочери. Вскоре прибывают утренние покупки, и Отто без труда уговаривает Дорис их надеть. Он откупоривает шампанское и дарит ей браслет с драгоценными камнями. Их оживлённую беседу прерывает визит дочери Марианны (). К отцу она испытывает нескрываемую смесь презрения и ненависти, и требует от него денег. Отто безуспешно пытается не пустить Марианну в спальню, где прячется Дорис. Марианна, отпустив несколько оскорбительных комментариев в адрес отца и Дорис, отнимает у неё браслет, даёт ей пощёчину и уходит. Униженная скандалом и внезапным озлоблением Отто, Дорис возвращает ему все подарки и уходит.

После отмены фотосессии Сюзанна звонит Хенрику и умоляет о встрече. Вечером Хенрик приходит в её гостиничный номер, но вскоре их свидание прерывается визитом жены Хенрика Марты (). Вместо сцены ревности она спокойным голосом рассказывает Сюзанне, что Хенрик слишком слаб, чтобы начать всё сначала, оставив жену вместе с двумя детьми, и к тому же находится в финансовой зависимости от Марты из-за неминуемого банкротства своей фирмы. Позже к Сюзан в номер приходит Дорис, плачет и рассказывает об ужасном дне. Сюзан соглашается взять её обратно.

Стокгольм. Дорис помирилась с Палле и продолжает работать в фотостудии. Сюзанна рвёт письмо от Хенрика, в котором он пишет, что готов продолжать встречаться с ней, несмотря на неприятное событие в Гётеборге.

В ролях

Съемочная группа
 Автор сценария и режиссёр: Ингмар Бергман
 Оператор: Хильдинг Блад
 Композитор: Стюарт Гёрлинг
 Художник: Гиттан Густафссон
 Монтаж: Карл-Олов Скепстедт
 Продюсер: Руне Вальдекранц

Работа над фильмом
«Женские грёзы» снимались с июня по август 1954 года, дополнительные сцены были досняты в феврале 1955 года. Фильм был задуман в качестве компенсации продюсеру Руне Вальдекранцу за коммерческий провал «Вечера шутов», предыдущего фильма Бергмана, снятого на студии «Сандрев». Режиссёр вспоминал, что работать приходилось в условиях строжайшей экономии.

Темы
В «Женских грёзах» Ингмар Бергман продолжает развивать тему войны полов. В фильмах «Женщины ждут» (1952), «Женские грёзы» и «Улыбки летней ночи» (1955) эта война пока что носит трагикомический характер — противоборствующие стороны идут на всевозможные ухищрения, но за чередой атак, отступлений и капитуляций пока что не следуют непоправимые последствия.

Кинокритик Турстен Маннс в ходе беседы с Бергманом обратил внимание на то, что в основе интереса Отто Сёндерби  к Дорис лежит не сексуальный интерес, а сожаление о невозможности нормального общения с ненавидящей его дочерью Марианной. Двойственность этой сюжетной линии остаётся нераскрытой вплоть до сцены с появлением Марианны, и Отто превращается из комического персонажа, богатого престарелого соблазнителя в трагического, одинокого старика, потерявшего жену и дочь.

Критика
В Швеции фильм не пользовался успехом у публики и провалился в прокате. Во Франции он демонстрировался в 1958 году в рамках ретроспективного показа фильмов Бергмана, но не привлёк внимания критиков, за исключением Эрика Ромера.

В США «Женские грёзы» появились лишь в 1960 году, после «Седьмой печати» и «Земляничной поляны», что повлияло на оценку критиков.  в рецензии для New Yourk Times похвалил хорошую игру Эвы Дальбек, Харриет Андерссон, Инги Ландгре и Ульфа Пальме, но отметил, что фильму недостаёт символизма и поэтики последующих фильмов, сделавших его знаменитым.

Сам Ингмар Бергман считал «Женские грёзы» проходным фильмом:
…фильм получился скучный. Я был тогда очень усталым, это был не очень радостный период моей жизни.

Can someone please show me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks.
intRow4 As Integer, _

intRow4 = excWks4.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1

lastcell = excWks4.Cells(intRow4, 4).Address

theform = "=IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Look Up Supplier Sheet'!$A$1:$G$10004,SMALL(IF(LEFT('Look Up Supplier Sheet'!$B$1:$B$10004,5)=LEFT(" & lastcell & ",5),ROW($B$1:$B$10004)),ROW(1:1)),6)),"""",INDEX('Look Up Supplier Sheet'!$A$1:$G$10004,SMALL(IF(LEFT('Look Up Supplier Sheet'!$B$1:$B$10004,5)=LEFT(" & lastcell & ",5),ROW($B$1:$B$10004)),ROW(1:1)),6))"

excWks4.Cells(intRow4, 5).FormulaArray = theform

A: From MSDN -

If you use this property to enter an array formula, the formula must
  use the R1C1 reference style, not the A1 reference style

So you need to replace $A$1 with $R1$C1 etc.

A: FormulaArray has a 255 character limit.  Yours is at least 309 characters, depending on the length of lastcell.
You could get under 256 characters by shortening your worksheet name.
