'09 U.S. Open champ Juan del Potro moves on; Roger Federer next

Juan Martin del Potro's stay at the U.S. Open really should be over. Nearly was.
The 2009 champion at Flushing Meadows had a fever and thought about quitting while dropping the opening two sets with little resistance against No. 6-seeded Dominic Thiem in the fourth round Monday. Then he trailed by a big margin in the fourth set, even facing two match points.
Still, buoyed by a boisterous Grandstand crowd chanting "Ole!" and his nickname, "delPo," he never gave in or gave up. Eventually, del Potro worked his way all the way back on the strength of powerful serves and thunderous forehands to edge Thiem 1-6, 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-4 and set up a quarterfinal showdown against Roger Federer.
"I took all that energy to change in a good way and think about (fighting) and not (retiring)," the 24th-seeded Argentine said. "Unbelievable atmosphere."
Del Potro long has been popular, but became even more so since returning from three operations on his left wrist that kept him out of Grand Slam action for two years and sent his ranking out of the top 100.
"He was gone for so long that it's just really nice to see him back playing these kind of matches," Federer said. "That's what he came back for, to get crowd support the way he got it."
Thiem also aided del Potro by playing his worst tennis when he was closest to victory in the fourth set, which he led 5-2. Thiem served for the match at 5-3, but got broken. Leading 6-5, he managed to get within a point of winning at 15-40 on del Potro's serve, but a pair of aces at 127 mph and 121 mph erased those two chances. The ensuing tiebreaker was dominated by del Potro, who closed it with a booming cross-court forehand winner on the run.
In the fifth set, del Potro closed things on his second match point, when Thiem double-faulted. How close was this? Thiem actually won more points, 141-139.
When it was over, del Potro raised both arms overhead and threw his head back , enjoying the fans' adulation, then crossed himself. He joked that he thought he should get a trophy just for winning this one.
It was by far the day's most enthralling match, with spectators' roars heard all the way across the grounds at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Federer was beating No. 33 Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-4, 6-2, 7-5.
The only bit of intrigue came after the second set, when Federer went off the court for a medical timeout. He said afterward it was so he could get a massage after feeling a muscle tightening at the top of the back of his left leg.
His back had been bothering Federer before the U.S. Open and restricted his practice time, something he blamed for problems while getting pushed to five sets in each of the first two rounds last week. But the lopsided win against Kohlschreiber — who never held a break point — was Federer's second in a row in straight sets.
Federer improved to 12-0 against Kohlschreiber; his record against del Potro is 16-5. But del Potro won their meeting in the 2009 final in New York in five sets for his only Grand Slam title, ending Federer's streak of five straight U.S. Open championships — and he hasn't won the trophy since.
"I felt like that I left that match with a lot of regrets," Federer said.
The other matchup on that half of the men's bracket will be No. 1 Rafael Nadal against 19-year-old Andrey Rublev, the youngest quarterfinalist at the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick was 19 in 2001.
Nadal got to the round of eight in New York for the first time since his 2013 title, overwhelming 64th-ranked Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-2, 6-4, 6-1.
"Every victory, every set that you win, is more confidence," Nadal said. "That what's I am doing."
Now Nadal gets to play a fifth consecutive unseeded foe in Rublev, who took out No. 9 David Goffin 7-5, 7-6 (5), 6-3.
The top-seeded woman had even less trouble than Nadal did Monday: 2016 runner-up Karolina Pliskova beat 91st-ranked American Jennifer Brady 6-1, 6-0. In the quarterfinals, Pliskova will take on No. 20 CoCo Vandeweghe, who beat Lucie Safarova 6-4, 7-6 (2) to become the third U.S. woman in the next round.
Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens advanced Sunday.
There was a chance for a fourth American to join them, because 15th-seeded Madison Keys was scheduled to play Monday's last match against No. 4 Elina Svitolina of Ukraine. That winner faces Estonia's Kaia Kanepi, who beat Daria Kasatkina 6-4, 6-4 to become the first qualifier in 36 years to reach the U.S. Open women's quarterfinals.
The 32-year-old Estonian is ranked 418th after missing much of the past two years with problems in the soles of both feet and a virus known as a precursor to mononucleosis.
"It's pretty amazing where I am now," Kanepi said, "compared to where I was few months ago."

Q: Lógica de programação para montar Rede trinária Não estou conseguindo montar a rede trinária abaixo:

A lógica é a seguinte:

*

*Faço meu cadastro no sistema e é gerado um link de indicação;

*Ocupa-se a 1ª, 2ª e 3ª posição (pode ser cadastros através do meu
link de indicação ou por derramamento, ou seja, de outro link);

*4º cadastro vai para a primeira posição disponível de sua 1ª posição já ocupada na 1ª classe;

*5º cadastro vai para a primeira posição disponível de sua 2ª posição já ocupada na 1ª classe;

*6º cadastro vai para a primeira posição disponível de sua 3ª posição já ocupada na 1ª classe;

*Segue-se assim em todas as classes, sempre distribuindo o cadastro de forma igualitária em rede;

O problema
De acordo com a imagem, quando o 8º cadastro for realizado, ele não poderá ocupar a 7ª posição da 2ª classe. Esta posição já foi ocupada por um cadastro direto.
Nesse momento, o sistema deve procurar a próxima posição disponível na 2ª classe.
Sempre terá que preencher as classe/linha para começar outra classe.
Não quero a programação, quero a lógica para montar essa rede.

A: Acho que o algoritmo seria algo assim:
1. Se o último nível da árvore estiver cheio então:
2.     Pendure o novo nó abaixo do primeiro item do último nível, criando um novo nível.
3. Senão:
4.     Escolha um grupo X no último nível que tenha o menor número de nós dentre os grupos no mesmo nível. Em caso de empate, pegue o grupo mais a direita destes.
5.     Pendure o novo item no final grupo X.
6. Fim se

Hi Graham,
Just so I can get a grip on all this, do you happen to know if the "Hitler Diaries" were subjected to the same tests?
2] - not at all, it's an established analytical technique. Let's be honest here, had Rod McNeil said, "Well, I'll be rogered with a fish-fork - my tests show that this thing was written in late 1888 - early 1889", then the IMA would be the best thing since....er....litmus paper was invented, right?
I thought the Aston Villa line was good, though?
Simon, I honestly don't know. The subject, I have to confess, didn't interest me at all. However, I thought that the Hitler things were kicked into touch because the paper was modern?
Oi, pal, I'm a Villa supporter, me, and me and the lads are on our way....
Graham (Holte End Name: Really, Really Nasty Sod).
Have never seen any reference to Ion Migration on Hitler, the problems were, as far as I know two fold, one the paper, under ultra violet light floresced in a manner that old paper wouldn't have, and the book was bound with a material containing polyester (not invented till mid 1950s).
G U T
There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.
Hi GUT,
All in all, a bit of a giveaway.
The Polyester was giveaway.
If Maybrick is a modern forgery, they learnt from Hitler and at least bought an old book to write it in.

And as the Nazis were always ahead of the game, you never know they may have been ahead if the game.
After all they were building flying saucers apparently.
So Hitler back in the frame.

I did indeed pick up on your clever reference to our finest son and was trying to think how I could steal all the credit for it when you came out and made the link directly. I can't believe it has never occurred to me to use that one. I grew up in 1960s Newcastle to stories of 'Wor Jackie' Milburn, and all the misery since has simply raised his memory to sainthood. Personally, I was first a fan in the 1970s so my favourite player will always be Supermac, but Wor Jackie's ghost lingers in the ground every game in a way that no-one else's ever will.
But what of Wor Jackie Maybrick? Will his ghost linger forever in the history of Ripperology, or will we find that he was a one-season-wonder?
Answers on a postcard to the Liverpool Echo, dated October 10, 1888, please ...
Howay the Lads
I feel terrible to have mentioned it! What were the chances, eh?
Mind, having survived many an unpleasant experience in the old Leazes End at St James' (manys the time I've wanted to burn that place to the ground, a la Wor Jackie Maybrick) in the mid-1970s, I'm afraid your 'Really, Really Nasty Sod' instills no great concern, I'm afraid. There's a Sod on the Tyne too many for me to fear those of a claret and blue disposition, I fear.
'On your way' where, though, Holtender? Back to the Promised Land or off to the Siberian hinterland of League One???
Toon Toon Maybrick Army!
drstrange169
According to Melvin Harris, the "Ion-migration" test is unreliable, as it cannot detect if a document has been artificially aged. It's specific purpose is to determine whether to different documents were written in the same period.
aka drstrange
Most document examiners consider all aging tests for ink on paper to be unreliable.
As a reliable, objective review of the Maybrick case, it is hard to beat Linder et alia, and I have returned to it just to remind myself of the 'facts' in the Maybrick and Wor Jackie case, though there are surprisingly few of those ever truly agreed upon.
The journal itself was dated to 1921 give or take 30 years (under certain conditions, which have not - to my knowledge - ever been given) and there is no suggestion (in Linder) that it would be feasible to artificially age the document. The scratchings in the watch have been dated to be at least tens of years old (bear in mind, this was the early 1990s) which, I'm guessing, is where Caz Morris (of Linder et al. fame) derives her oft-quoted stat of no a forgery being laid down no later than 1970.
The artefacts in the case (the journal and the watch) contradict the only realistic case that can be made for a forgery - that is, a modern (post-1987) one. The details in the diary which were only published post-1987 (e.g., 'tin match box, empty', and Kelly's absent heart in her body) tell us that either the hoax was created post-1987, or that they were created by someone who knew these facts before they were published (that would primarily be the killer himself, and the authorities who investigated the crimes or their 'descendents').
So the facts in the diary were published in or after 1987, but the journal and the watch scratchings are dated many tens of years beforehand (in fairness, one year beforehand would still have been a problem for our forger). How is that possible?
So we have to turn to the notion that the journal and the watch marks were created around the time of the crimes by someone who knew the facts including the unpublished ones. This is possible. It could have been a serving police officer or one of the autopsy team. But they would have to also have a strong insight into the Maybrick household, so that would suggest someone like Michael Maybrick (his London police masonic links identified so dilligently by Bruce Robinson would certainly be plausible routes into the unpublished information about the crimes).
Whoever 'hoaxed' the journal, of course, also knew about the letters 'F' and 'M' on Kelly's wall, which rather rules out a member of Maybrick's household or family as that would be a coincidence too far. So I would suggest that that leaves us with the following scenario:
The journal and the watch marks were created by someone in the know, and probably well before the 1970s (watch) or 1950s (journal, 1921 plus 30 years).
But, there's at least two problems even with that theory. If the hoaxer was someone in possession of the official 'facts' in the case, why did they get the placing of Kelly's breasts wrong?
And - here's my favourite of the two - if the journal and watch marks are not modern, why did the hoaxer choose to name the 'Poste House' which (as everyone knows) is a central claim against the journal having been written by James Maybrick? How had they heard of such a name if it didn't then exist in some way?
There remains one simple (simpler?) theory which comfortably explains the emergence of the journal and the watch. James Maybrick owned both, and was Jack the Ripper.
Well they knew about the F and M, without mentioning them, and as many people can't see them, well"......
So realisticall the best we can date them is the 1900s.
From Harrison II (hardback, p29):
Like Dr Turgoose, Dr Wild photographed slivers of brass embedded within the scratch marks. They were blackened with age. The penultimate paragraph of his detailed report (which also stresses the need for much more lengthy work to pinpoint the precise age of the scratches) reads: Provided the watch has remained in a normal environment, it would seem likely that the engravings were at least od several tens of years age. This would agree with the findings of Dr Turgoose (1993) and in my opinion it is unlikely that anyone would have sufficient expertise to implant aged, brass particles into the base of the engravings.
The reference to brass particles is to the fact that miniscule shards of the implement used to make the marks are clearly visible under high-powered microscopes. Two independent tests completed on the watch (a watch which cost Albert Johnson £225). The first cost £400 and the second £561. Both tests were paid for by Albert Johnson and their results were not subjected to any kind of embarge before Albert knew their outcome. An honest man, honestly trying to establish the truth of what he had in his possession?
I offer you this now - in advance of the inevitable asinine posts which tend to follow and which follow the general line that aging engravings in a watch would be a ten-minute job for anyone with an oven. Try it, if you don't believe it. You'll just end up with a very hot watch ...

ScienceNot Exactly Rocket Science
How Do African Grasslands Support So Many Plant-Eaters?
By Ed Yong
Across the savannahs of Africa, millions of stomachs are busy converting plant tissue into animal flesh. The continent's leaves and grasses are under constant assault from impala, wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, gazelles, and giraffes. Even acacia trees get bulldozed by elephants. There can be up to 25 species of these large plant-eaters in a given place, and many of them gather in gargantuan herds. How do they co-exist?
"It's not obvious why competition for food doesn't whittle the number of species down to just a few dominant competitors," says Tyler Kartzinel from Princeton University. The prevailing idea says that different species have different food preferences. Grazers like zebra and wildebeest eat grass and little else. Browsers like dik-diks and giraffes nibble on leaves and shrubs—collectively called "browse". Some animals, like elephants and impala, go for both.
Within each category, animals partition themselves in space. Zebras eat the tallest grasses; wildebeest munch the shorter ones. Dik-diks browse on the lowest leaves; impala take the mid-level; and giraffes pluck the loftiest foliage. But despite these nuances, "there's still been this coarse distinction between grass and other plants," says Kartzinel, "as if you partition those two resources finely enough, and suddenly there's enough space in the savannah for dozens of herbivores."
This picture is too simple. By using DNA to actually identify the plants that these animals eat—something no one had done before—Kartzinel has shown that their preferences go much deeper than just grass versus browse.
For example, the Grevy's zebra and plains zebra—two species that live in the same places and consume almost nothing but grass—eat varying amounts of different species of grass. To them, a grassland isn't just one uniform banquet. It's a patchwork landscape full of different foods, with some bits that appeal to one species and others that delight another. "The appropriate question is not, 'Does it eat grass?' but rather 'Which grasses does it eat?'," says Kartzinel.
"When I talk to non-ecologists, they are stunned to learn that we have never really had a clear picture of what all of these charismatic large mammals actually eat in nature," he adds. There are good reasons for that. These animals move over long distances, and they are hard (and dangerous) to observe up-close. They often eat small plants, in the middle of the night, under cover of thick bush. "Many of these plants are also exceedingly hard to identify to the species level, even for an expert botanical taxonomist with specimen in hand — meaning that it's literally impossible to do while looking through binoculars at an animal feeding."
Dik-dik. By Henry Palm. CC BY 2.0
To solve these problems, he and his team, led by Princeton's Rob Pringle, turned to poo. Driving around Kenya, they tracked seven plant-eaters: elephants, plains and Grevy's zebra, domestic cows, buffalo, and Guenther's dik-diks. They waited for the animals to defecate, before rushing over to (carefully) collect their dung. Back in the lab, they extracted DNA from the samples, sequenced it, and used those sequences to identify the specific plants that the beasts had eaten.
This approach, called DNA metabarcoding, confirmed the traditional divide between grazers and browsers, but also revealed that species which eat exactly the same amounts of either category still have very different diets. Cows and buffalo are closely related grazers, but they graze on different food. Even the zebras ate different amounts of 15 plant species, 14 of which are grasses. The Grevy's also supplements its diet with small legumes that its plains cousin ignores. "That was the big surprise," says Kartzinel. "We can finally see these very cryptic differences that these animals have."
He compares the herbivores to a family at a buffet: "You might all choose the same main course, but when it comes to side dishes and condiments, you have hundreds of options. It's unlikely that you'll all end up with the same meal."
This discovery helps to explain how the savannah supports so many plant-eaters. It offers them a buffet of riches, and each species eats only part of the full menu. The reasons for these preferences are unclear. Maybe the plains zebra just likes the taste of a particular plant. Perhaps the Grevy's craves nutrients that only some species can provide. Perhaps dik-diks have unique gut microbes that can detoxify the poisons in plants that its competitors can't touch. The only way of working out which of these possibilities is true is to work out exactly what these animals are eating—which is where DNA metabarcoding comes in.
The team also hopes that the technique will help to reduce conflicts between farmers and Africa's wild herds. "If people think that livestock and wildlife compete fiercely for food, they will eliminate wildlife from rangelands," says Kartzinel. If they can show that such competition doesn't actually exist, that pressure might abate.

People hate dealing with change. Alvin Toffler's 1971 Future Shock outlined humanity's failure to adapt. Does it still apply in a world where even the climate is changing?
Sophie Cunningham asks how we as a society and as individuals perceive - and sometimes deny - change.
She questions what makes humans dangerously reluctant to acknowledge a crisis, and what the potential consequences of our failure to adapt may be. And she explores how we might regain a grip on agency in the face of confronting truths.
Sophie Cunningham is the author of five books, the most recent of which is City of Trees: Essays on Life, Death & the Need for a Forest. She is a former publisher, former editor of Meanjin, former Chair of the Literature Board of the Australia Council and was a co-founder of The Stella Prize. She is an Adjunct Professor with RMIT's Non/fiction lab.

The Ayutthaya long period is unfairly neglected by art lovers. The Thai art of this period, among an imortant production of average quality, holds masterpieces like this Buddha head.
The face immortalizes the Sukhothai style features of the Kamphaeng Phet workshops (Le Bonheur, 1994, p.111 ; p.146, pl.76 and p.487, fig. 380). Thus, the brow lines, in perfect semi-circles, extend to the nose bridge. Hair is handled by small juxtaposed ringlets. A flame, now disappeared, graced the usnisa on the top of the head. Beauty folds on the nek are perfectly represented. However, we note many changes, compared with purely Sukothai pieces. The face is thinner and less elongated; the nose is less aquiline; the lips are less plump. The mouth corners squeeze out a smile light and inscrutable at the same time. All these details confer on the head an extremely ornemental appearance, which is enhanced by a beautiful gilt applied to a bottom of red lacquer. Also the eyes, formerly inlaid with mother-of-pearl and gemstone, gave to the Buddha a hypnotic presence in the dim light of a sanctuary.
Besides the head of the colossal Buddha, preserved at the Chao Sa Phraya national museum, we can compare our commented Buddha head to the head of a standing Buddha preserved at the Hermitage museum (Inv. N°159. Siamese art ...1997, p.128, n°53) and a head from the Walters Art Gallery of Baltimore (Inv. 54.28.25, Woodwards, 1997, p.238, 258, n°99).

Sports museum launches initiative to protect Japan's athletic history
A sports museum in Tokyo is leading the way in the creation of a network with similar organizations across Japan, aiming to protect and preserve valuable pieces of the nation's athletic history.
That there is no shared system under which the pieces of memorabilia — including medals and reference materials — are organized is a major concern to people working at museums. Additionally, there is no universal list maintained by any public organization that indicates which institution holds any particular object.
To rectify the situation, the Prince Chichibu Memorial Sports Museum and Library plans by March next year to hold a symposium with about 300 institutions that maintain sport memorabilia to discuss the importance of these objects and stress the need to keep collections from being broken up or lost.
"There are many types of materials from sports history. They are scattered in many parts (of the country), and only a few people understand their importance," said Sachiko Niina, a curator of the Tokyo museum. "We need a system that prevents these materials from being dispersed."
Niina, 41, added that she also wants to work on other programs, including developing people's expertise and knowledge of sporting mementos, and hold research projects in Japan and abroad related to past Olympics and Paralympics.
Olympic sleuthing finds Japan's 'first medal' is not what it seems
While most museums in the country are dedicated to one sport — the most prominent in Japan focus on sumo, soccer, and baseball — it is believed that smaller rural institutions hold historical pieces that belonged to athletes from the respective areas.
In a separate project, the Tokyo museum wants to create a digital archive with other institutions, such as companies, universities, sports bodies and municipalities.
The plan is to develop a database that will allow people to search for certain items and documents without having to physically travel to where they are stored or displayed.

The Prince Chichibu Memorial Sports Museum and Library opened in 1959 inside the old National Stadium to contribute to the development of sport in the country and display items of historical note.
However, the museum has been closed since the stadium was demolished and the new National Stadium built on the site in the lead up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed in March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The museum will be moved to a different area but the location and timing of its reopening remain up in the air.
The museum recently discovered that an Olympic medal in its collection believed to have been the first won by a Japanese was very likely the second.
It is now thought the medal is a silver awarded to Seiichiro Kashio in men's tennis doubles at the 1920 Summer Games in Antwerp, Belgium.
The whereabouts of Japan's first medal, a singles silver won earlier by Kashio's doubles partner Ichiya Kumagai at the same games, remains unknown.
There have also been cases of theft: In 2010, a championship medal won by German Hermann Weingartner at the first modern Olympics in Athens was stolen during an exhibition at the museum. The medal had been a gift from the late gymnast Yukio Endo, who won the men's all-around event at the 1964 Tokyo Games.
While the system of protecting and preserving sports-related items is considered currently insufficient, experts say they just have to look to neighboring South Korea for an example of how to do it well. There, medals and equipment are registered as cultural properties.
"As for medals, they are useful for people who watched the competitions to recall the athlete, but that is not enough," Niina said. "Preserving other materials, documents, and books about the performance and efforts that led to winning a medal will also enable documenting the performance multidimensionally."
Yuji Kurihara, the vice director of the Kyoto National Museum, also emphasized establishing a network of museums to protect historical pieces.
"Japan doesn't understand that historical resources related to sports are cultural properties," he said. "Now that it has been more than 100 years since the country first participated in the Olympics, it should reach the understanding that sport is also culture."

Family of Laquan McDonald Asks for 'Calm' Upon Release of Dash-Cam Video
The video, which a judge ordered police to release by Nov. 25, is said to show the teen holding a small knife and walking away from officers when one unexpectedly opens fire on him
Published at 2:39 pm on November 24, 2015
Attorneys representing the family of slain teen Laquan McDonald, who was shot to death by a Chicago police officer last year, released a statement Tuesday urging "calm in Chicago" ahead of the anticipated release of the dash-cam video showing the incident.
"We deeply appreciate the outpouring of love and support for Laquan," the statement from attorneys Michael D. Robbins and Jeffrey J. Neslund reads. "This is a difficult time for us. As we have said in the past, while we would prefer that the video not be released we understand that a court has ordered otherwise. We ask for calm in Chicago. No one understands the anger more than us but if you choose to speak out, we urge you to be peaceful. Don't resort to violence in Laquan's name. Let his legacy be better than that."
The video, which a judge ordered police to release by Nov. 25, is said to show the teen holding a small knife and walking away from officers when one unexpectedly opens fire, spraying the teen with more than a dozen bullets and continuing to shoot as McDonald lies lifeless on the ground, according to one of the attorneys for McDonald's family.

NY Man Wanted on Gun, Drug Charges Arrested in Waukegan
Officer Jason Van Dyke, 37, turned himself into authorities Tuesday morning and was later ordered held without bail in connection with the fatal shooting of McDonald, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office. Van Dyke is scheduled to appear in court again Monday as Judge Donald Panarese said he wants to see video of the shooting.
Prosecutors said in court Tuesday that the shooting happened within 15 seconds, but for 13 of those seconds McDonald was on the ground. They added the video "clearly does not show McDonald advancing toward (Van Dyke)."
"To watch a 17-year-old young man die in such a violent manner is simply disturbing and I have absolutely no doubt that this video will tear at the hearts of all Chicagoans," Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said in a press conference after bond court proceedings.
Earlier Tuesday, city and community leaders urged residents to resist inciting unrest ahead of the potential release of the dash-cam video. A day prior, many of these leaders met with Mayor Rahm Emanuel for an emergency meeting to draft a plan that they hope will help the city avoid protests similar to the ones that happened in Ferguson, Missouri.

Spirit FM presenter Ian Crouch along with volunteers at Bognor foodbank who are benefitting from the radio station's Easter egg appeal.
Chichester District Foodbank has said a big thanks to the generous public for helping local children in crisis have a happier Easter.
More than 300 Easter eggs were delivered to the foodbank, helping to bring hope and a treat to children whose families were referred there over the weekend.
The foodbank has said thanks to Spirit FM for organising the collection and the generous donations from local people.
Joanne Kondabeka, foodbank project manager, said: "Thank you so much to everyone who donated Easter eggs to the foodbank – your generous donations meant that we were able to give an Easter egg to children who needed our help in the run up to Easter this year, and to their parents too.
"Easter is a time of hope. People tell us that the foodbank gave them hope: hope that there are people that care, hope that things will soon start to look up.
"Last year alone, 812 local children were fed through emergency food parcels being given to their families who were in crisis. Week in, week out at the foodbank we're seeing families from across Chichester District who have hit crisis – we're here not only to give emergency food, but also to sit and chat over a cup of tea, bringing some light when people hit rock bottom.
"The community is fantastic in supporting our work to help local people facing hunger.
"We know that without your help this Easter, there would have been families who would have struggled to put food on the table on Easter day, and children across Chichester District who wouldn't have received an Easter egg, because money is just too tight for their family.

These can be donated at St John's Hall, St John's Street, Chichester, PO19 1UR on Monday 2-4pm or Wednesday 10am - 12pm.


On my first trip to the continent of Africa, I visited Cairo and Luxor, Egypt in the middle of the summer. It was, as you can imagine, really, really hot. I mean, like 120 degrees Fahrenheit hot. This came with some advantages though—there were fewer crowds and shorter lines at the region's most popular tourism sites, including the Temple of Hathor at Dendera.
The temple is dedicated to the popular deity Hathor, who is associated with merrymaking, love, music and drunkenness. How could you not love a goddess like that?
While the six Hathor-headed columns fronting the temple have been defaced, the interior of the structure is largely unblemished. One of the reasons why the temple is so well-preserved is that, unlike the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Temple of Hathor's ceiling is still intact, protecting the intricate carvings and colorful paintings within. Historians say that Hathor has the best preserved temple ceiling in all of Egypt, which has given them insight into ancient Egyptian traditions, astronomy and religious beliefs.

The key component for two Canadian Olympic gold medals seems to be hockey's winningest man: Scott Niedermayer.
Niedermayer captained Team Canada to gold in 2010, and was a top player on their previous gold medal championship in 2002. Niedermayer was inexplicably left off of the 1998 team, and was injured in 2006. Canada did not step on the podium without him.
He was instrumental in Canada's 2010 success, playing his best when his team needed him the most. The veteran was a calming influence and arguably the team's best defenseman in the gold medal game.
Niedermayer does not always get properly credited as one of the all time great blue liners. He has always been recognized as a great skill player, but not necessarily revered as a legend.
That is partially because his quiet, laid back persona off the ice. But on the ice he is a true champion. In addition to the two Olympic gold medals, Niedermayer has also won the Memorial Cup, World Junior and World Championships, a World Cup and four Stanley Cups. All he does is win.
To me, that makes him one of the greatest hockey legends.
The pride of Cranbrook, BC, Niedermayer first became a notable hockey name when he joined the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL and helped them win a Memorial Cup championship in 1992 and help Canada to world junior championships in 1991 and 1992.
Scouts raved about Niedermayer, especially his effortless, almost artistic skating. It was truly a treat to watch him skate, which is not something you normally say about players. He was the definition of skating agility. Scouts also liked his offensive instincts. Comparisons to Paul Coffey were inevitable.
The New Jersey Devils selected Niedermayer with the third overall pick (acquired infamously several months before from Toronto in exchange for Tom Kurvers), directly behind Eric Lindros and Pat Falloon. Alright, no one was going to dislodge Lindros from the top spot that year, but in hindsight who would you rather have? And what was San Jose thinking?!
In the Devils tight, defense first system Niedermayer never really did emerge as a Coffey-like offensive force. Instead he became a great, well rounded defender. He still carried the puck often and occasionally using his wheels for a highlight reel rush.
Niedermayer was somewhat overshadowed in New Jersey by team captain Scott Stevens. Stevens defined New Jersey hockey with his hard hitting, defensive focus. Niedermayer's skill set may have offered the Devils a nice change up, but he was also a flawless defender and an unnoticed physical player in his own fashion.
All in all Scott Niedermayer was part of 3 Stanley Cup championships in New Jersey. But he left the Devils after the 2005 lockout, heading west to join his brother Rob with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. He would play 5 seasons in California, posting some of his best offensive seasons thanks to the shackles finally being lifted from his game.
The highlight in Anaheim - and possibly of his whole storied career - was winning the Stanley Cup in 2007. It may have been the 4th Stanley Cup of his career, but it was brother Rob's first. To win it together with his brother was real special.
Niedermayer retired in 2010 with one of the most impressive resumes ever completed in hockey. 1263 regular season games; 172 goals, 568 assists for 740 points. Another 25 goals and 98 points in 202 Stanley Cup games. Four times he was named as a year end All Star. He also won a Norris trophy and Conn Smythe trophy. Two Olympic gold medals, the Memorial Cup, World Junior and World Championships, a World Cup and four Stanley Cups.
Words that describe Scott Niedermayer - winner; Hall of Famer; greatest hockey legend.
