Free Waterfront Office Space, but There's a Catch, Of Course
The federal government will let certain groups use old lighthouses

Dreading your eventual return to the office? The federal government is making available for free some waterfront workspaces with killer views that are sure to entice. But there's a catch. The General Services Administration says the U.S. Coast Guard has decided it no longer needs four of the nation's most picturesque lighthouses, and it's inviting certain types of organizations to take them over at no cost. The GSA, which has been getting rid of its large inventory of obsolete lighthouses, said Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown, Rhode Island—America's third-oldest lighthouse, which the defeated British forces burned out of spite in 1779 as they withdrew from the new nation—is up for grabs. So are Watch Hill Light in Westerly, Rhode Island; Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Light in Ohio; and Duluth Harbor North Pierhead Light in Minnesota.
Conditionally, that is: The government says it'll make the historic lighthouses and their outbuildings available free of charge to federal, state, and local agencies; nonprofit organizations; educational and community development agencies; or groups devoted to parks, recreation, culture, or historic preservation, the AP reports. Beavertail Light "has been determined to be excess to the needs of the United States Coast Guard," which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, GSA spokesperson Paul Hughes said in a statement. Beavertail Light has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1977. The 64-foot granite lighthouse faces south where Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island Sound meet, offering drop-dead-gorgeous ocean vistas.

"Thomists" gather in Rome for major congress
The Angelicum, the Dominican-run university in Rome, welcomes more than 300 theologians from around the world to discuss the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas in the context of our current times

By Loup Besmond de Senneville | Vatican City
For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Rome-based Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (the "Angelicum") has resumed its long-standing international conference on the teachings of the great medieval Doctor of the Church after whom the university is named.
Some 300 theologians from around the world gathered in the Angelicum's Aula Magna on Monday for the opening of the Eleventh International Thomistic Congress.
Over the course of six-day scholars coming principally from Italy, the Americas, France, Spain and Poland will be sharing reflections and giving lectures on the theme: "The resources of the Thomistic tradition in the current context".
Thomistic scholars have hailed the congress as a big "event", since the last such meeting was held in 2003 and this current gathering had to be continually postponed the past three years because of the Covid pandemic.
"Grace does not destroy nature"
The congress, which is organized by both the Angelicum and the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, meets the desire of Thomist theologians and philosophers to reflect, in the midst of other more traditional themes in this type of colloquium, on the current challenges of society, including the most contemporary issues.
For instance, Gregory Reichberg, a member of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo, spoke on Tuesday about artificial intelligence and Thomistic metaphysics. There was also to be a talk called, "Vindicating Aquinas' anthropology in the age of neuroscience".
"The principal and essential (basic principle of Thomism) lies in the adage that grace does not destroy nature, but improves and perfects it," has noted theologian Guy Bedouelle.
"Thus, what can be believed by faith cannot contradict what is known by reason," the French Dominican points out, repeating the classic teaching of the man known as the Angelic Doctor.
But while the principles have not changed, the doctrine developed by Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274), has changed status in the Catholic Church in the past decades.
"A theological option that is freely chosen"
For instance, Thomism is no longer the preferred theological teaching in the Church as it was before Vatican Council II (1962-65).
Nor is it still the "tool of repression against modernists", as was in the first half of the 20th century, admits Father Serge-Thomas Bonino, another French Dominican who is the Angelicum's dean of philosophy.
"We have gone from a time when everyone had to be a Thomist to it being a theological option that one chooses freely," he says.
"After the Council, Thomism lost its quasi-official character in the Catholic Church," Bonino points out.
Many of the theologians attending the Rome conference are from the United States, where Thomism has many adherents.
"Compared to 2003, there has been a real shift toward the United States, where Hispanics were very present," notes Father Bonino.
"In the United States, a whole current of Thomism is very marked by logic and the rigor of reasoning, which somewhat forgets the historical dimension of Thomism," he says.
A "traditionalist Thomism"
In fact, Bonino, who is one of the driving forces behind the international congress in Rome, warns against the temptation to take the doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas as a "fixed" whole.
"In recent years, we have rediscovered that Thomas was an exegete and a preacher, whereas we have tended to ignore this historical aspect," he says.
The doctrine of St. Thomas sometimes appears today as a refuge for a vision of Catholic identity.
"There is still a Thomism of combat, led by traditionalist spheres," Father Bonino notes.
He says this "traditionalist Thomism" is marked by an "aversion to the historical approach of Saint Thomas".
"As if he were a kind of immutable theologian," the Dominican says.
"However, he did evolve, between the beginning and the end of his life, for example on what he says about grace or on the place of the passions in human existence" the philosophy dean says.
But beyond traditionalist circles, St. Thomas Aquinas can also respond to "a need for theological security" that some young people are looking for, Father Bonino concedes.
He says this need for security is "understandable", but is something "that can evolve".
The participants in the Thomistic congress are expected to have a private audience on Thursday with Pope Francis.

SE Controls helps protect visitors at Dubai's Palm Jumeirah Nakheel Mall
SE Controls helps protect visitors at Dubai's Palm Jumeirah Nakheel Mall [1/2]
Nakheel Mall, Dubai's 435,000 sq.metre retail and lifestyle centre located in the unique Palm Jumeirah development, is using control solutions and 192 actuators from SE Controls as part of the fire safety and smoke control system at the new complex.
A key feature of the mall's design is its 'crystal dome', a 25 metre high a hemi-spherical glass clad structure, which is bisected by a monorail station and is an essential part of the retail centre's fire safety and smoke control system.
SE Controls became involved with Nakheel Mall, partly as a result of its success with another major retail development in Dubai, Dragon Mart 2, where 1100 actuators and control solutions were used to open skylight & vertical façade panels for smoke ventilation.
For Nakheel Mall, SE Controls, supplied, tested and commissioned 192 Twin Chain actuators and 48 SHEVTEC 8A controllers, which are used to automatically open the crystal dome's integral glazed smoke vents, on both sides of the structure, in the event of a fire.
In normal operation the glazed smoke vents remain closed until triggered by a signal from the Nakheel Mall's fire detection system, which are then automatically open the 192 Twin Chain actuators. This allows smoke to be vented from the building and therefore enables the escape routes to be kept clear for visitors and staff to leave safely.
The actuators are 24 Volt DC units and are tested to EN12101-2, while the SHEVTEC controllers (tested to EN 12101-10) also incorporate a battery backup to maintain operation in the event of a mains power failure.
Director of SE Controls Middle East, Madhava Prasad, commented: "We have a tremendous amount of experience and expertise in providing smoke control solutions in a wide range of projects and sectors across the globe."
He added: "We use these abilities to support designers, fire consultants and engineers in the Middle East and ensure the systems are effective and we are delighted to have been selected for this prestigious project."

eCartelera rank: #1 "No script, no characters, nothing, just a pile of unstructured scenes starring actors who remind you in every single shot how little they want to be there. The only good thing about this film is that it has finally freed us from this saga."
eCartelera rank: #2 "What were you thinking, Disney? (...) From its incoherent story to its strange changes of tone, to Ava DuVernay's clumsy direction, this one makes no sense."
eCartelera rank: #3 "A rehash of horror references that falls into the most overused clichés and throws the film into ridicule."
eCartelera rank: #4 "Despite the good intentions and the presence of Michelle Williams, the movie wasted its potential in a predictable, unfunny script, and its lead's dramatic talent was conspicuous by its absence."
eCartelera rank: #5 "Shallow, predictable, absurd and totally unfunny. But that's not the worst; it's that it tries to play the feminist card only to fall back onto the most stale gender clichés. Not even the ever-adaptable Maribel Verdú can save the show."
eCartelera rank: #6 "[The Conjuring's] latest spin-off arrived surrounded by great expectation and became the biggest box-office premiere in the franchise, but the interest soon turned into disappointment when we saw what it was: a horror film that didn't cause fear, but boredom and apathy, with trite scares, a half-baked story and stupid characters. That is to say, a missed opportunity."
eCartelera rank: #7 "Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) caused from disinterest to rejection in the audience, who still had the divisive Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) too fresh in their minds and couldn't accept any actor other than Harrison Ford in the iconic role. (...) The film is generic, lacking in risk, and above all else, unnecessary."
eCartelera rank: #8 "Although the movie fulfills its purpose as light entertainment, its many flaws can't be overlooked: a basic, hole-plagued script, really abrupt changes in pace and tone, and a mostly apathetic cast, with the exception of Tom Hardy, who gives his all to salvage the film."
eCartelera rank: #9 "The movie was mediocre, confusing and too reminiscent of sci-fi classics such as Solaris (1971) or Alien (1979), but not holding a candle up to either of them."
eCartelera rank: #10 "The plot made no sense, the characters overshadowed the Predator (for all the wrong reasons) and the comedy Shane Black injected into the saga wasn't well received by viewers. Maybe it's time to throw in the towel."

Guitar Hero 3: A Wii vs. Xbox 360 Comparison
My wife is addicted to Guitar Hero 3. GH2 was the first game she's ever player in the actual store and at seven months pregnant she kind of stuck out, creating a crowd of gawkers at the lady resting the axe against her belly. She's classically trained in cello and sight-reads like a whiz which helps, and there's no chance I'll ever, ever beat her in this game.
But that doesn't stop us from having fun with it. Having been drugged, bound and tied and placed into the back of an Audi, a friend told me he was going to the midnight madness launch for GH3 for the Wii and offered to pick up the game. I figured this would be cool, particularly because of the Wii's new online gameplay. The same way roses win favor with some wives, this would garner favor in my household.
My wife was ecstatic. Nothing breaks up baby monotony quite like GH3. I missed the sharp HD graphics of the Xbox 360 but the gameplay was largely there, except for a noticable delay in audio effects when you missed a note and the Wiimote twanged, nestled into it's compartment in the Guitar controller. Then, things went horribly, horribly wrong when our neighbor's daughter challenged us to an online match.
It all started with a phone call. Apparently we needed to find the 16-digit "Friend Code" and give it to her. Then, another call- we needed her to enter our friend code. Then the gameplay. Setting up a game is obnoxious, with little presence information available- did your friend set up the game? Are you supposed to? Another phone call. Then their wireless went out. Sigh. Finally we get a game, and I realize I spent this money on a Wii version of what I should have bought for Xbox 360 in the first place. Playing GH3 online with the Wii was like stepping back into the dark ages.
So, Craiglist to the rescue. I rationalized this away to my wife, who could now unlock more songs via coop mode with Xbox 360 since we'd have two guitar controllers (one from GH2 works just fine). Sure, she'd have to start over, but she'd also be able to play online. Okay, she didn't buy that one but we have two guitar controllers that work now.
It's easy to say gameplay is what matters most, until you see the graphics side by side. Chris and Ponzi were over for dinner Saturday night and noticed the difference, Particularly online, the frame rate during some of the hardest sequences drops suddenly and erratically on the Wii. Xbox 360 keeps up with audio, video, voice, and easy online game matching all in one.
As a master air guitar player, I'm a sucker for this game and you never know, my sons might learn to play the real thing after watching Dad jam. Ryan told me, "Dad, you really rock" and that's all the fan base I need.
Devices Diversions Gaming Tech Xbox
Tim Barrett says:
My brother (26) is 12 years younger than I, and always wastes me on XBOX. Saturday he invited me over to play GH3 on his XBOX 360 and new HD widescreen. The graphics are jaw-dropping on the 360, and the gameplay is as addictive as chocolate-covered crack. After 6 straight hours of gameplay and a pretty decent blister on my thumb from playing, I emerged the winner and my brother tossed in the axe in defeat. Who knew those years of playing air guitar to "Cult of Personality" and "One" by Metallica would finally pay off?
Sunday I went to BestBuy to pickup a firewire cable and heard the familiar stains of GH3 across the store. They were running the 360 and Wii side-by-side, no comparison. GH3 on the Wii is 'fun', but on the 360 it spanks the llama!
The only downside to the game is the lame and endless song after you beat the final level. I bet even Joe Satriani would have gotten tired of playing guitar on that song. Still, I give the games two thumbs (one blistered) way up!!

Doris Roberts Pronounced Dead. You Won't Believe this! | Chicks News
February 27, 2021 by chicksnews_516o83
Doris Roberts was very well known in the acting industry, getting her first role on broadway in the 1950's. Roberts was best known for her role as the mother in hit tv show, Everybody Loves Raymond.
Doris Roberts passed away at the age of 90 last sunday.
Roberts lived a very full filled life. She loved what she did and she won several awards for her work and what she brought to the table. Her first Emmy Award was received in 1983 for her work in St. Elsewhere. Her other awards came from her role in Raymond.
In an interview with Parade Roberts said, "I'm not a bull artist. I tell it like it is. I'm not some celebrity thinking, 'I'm greater than anybody else.' I'm one of the people. And they know that. It's wonderful when they say to me, 'Thank you for the humor you've brought us all these years.' I am a lucky son of a gun. I get paid for it."
Fans, actors, and actresses, especially those from Everybody Loves Raymond, shared their condolences through the internet about Robert's death.
Notably, Roberts co-star on Raymond who played her daughter in law tweeted after hearing the news, "Truly the end of an era. My wonderful TV mother-in-law and ELR nemesis Doris Roberts was a consummate professional from whom I learned so much. She was funny and tough and loved life, living it to the fullest." Twitter
Roberts was loved by many and her comedy and performances will live on forever.

Look up high as the Orionid meteor shower illuminates the night sky
Peak viewing of the Orionid meteor shower is set to take place on the night of October 20.
Skygazers are set for some celestial fireworks as Earth passes through the debris left by Halley's Comet.
The Orionid meteor is active throughout October but is expected to peak on Tuesday night, producing 20 or so meteors every hour, and remaining visible until the early hours of Wednesday. Liverpool is expecting cloud cover throughout tonight (20 October) but you might just get a glimpse!
The phenomenon gets its name from the Orion constellation – which is one of the brightest groups of stars in the sky.
Patricia Skelton, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, said:
"Meteor showers are produced when the Earth passes through debris left behind by comets.
"The comet responsible for producing the Orionids meteor shower is Halley's Comet, last seen in our skies in 1986 and expected to return in 2061."
MORE - "I was blown away by Prince William's empathy" says Liverpool cafe owner
Meteoroids from Halley's Comet strike the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of 148,000mph, burning up in streaking flashes of light.
As both the Earth and Halley's Comet have elliptical orbits around the Sun, the two intersect twice every year, causing not only the Orionids, but also the Eta Aquariid meteor shower in May.
The Orionids will be visible in both northern and southern hemispheres until November 7.

Ms Skelton said: "The good news for observers is that the moon will be in a favourable phase for this year's shower, setting long before the constellation of Orion rises in the night sky.
"For your best chance to spot some meteors, wait until after midnight when Orion will be higher up in the sky."
Ms Skelton said there is no need for any specialist equipment as the meteors can be seen with the naked eye.
She added: "Allow your eyes to adapt to the dark, a process which takes around 20 minutes, and face the direction of the constellation of Orion, towards the south and south-east.
"Hunting for meteors can sometimes be a waiting game, so make sure you have a comfortable chair to sit on or a blanket to lie on.
"Be sure to wrap up warm though as you may be outside for some time."

The Legend forever: Michael Jackson
The time stood still as the unbelievable news was aired on the internet and the news channels. I felt numb and couldn't react to the news. The King of Pop is no more; I still find it extremely difficult to believe. Michael died of cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.
Michael Jackson rocked the music world in the 80's and early 90's. It was a time when the music industry was dominated by the legendary rock bands, and the pop music was desperate to make a mark. Jacko, as he's popularly known as, revolutionized the music industry by promoting the ignored Pop genre. No one has ever earned the title of a King in the music industry. The legend will always remain a legend. The king will continue to rule our hearts. People loved Michael Jackson despite his Not-so-Good public image. The King of Pop was the favorite child of controversies, but his fans always loved him for his contribution to the Pop music.
The American African singer has been credited for revolutionizing the music videos. He is one of the very artists who have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Michael has been credited with the award of 'Most Successful Entertainer of All Times'. The winner of 13 Grammy Awards and 13 Number One singles makes him the only male artist in the list of Hot 100 Era.
I remember how crazy I was, as a kid, about Michael Jackson. Every kid tried to dance like Jacko. We all loved his Black Hat and his curly hair. People who have grown up in the 80's and 90's will always cherish growing up dancing to the tunes of Michael Jackson.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Fair Check out the review
Curse of Darkness is one of those games which you'll like, but still will hope it would have been better.
User Rating: 7.5 | Castlevania: Curse of Darkness PS2
By Uberpeber | Review Date: February 13, 2011
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was the first 3d -Castlevania game I played and I liked it. Though there are some annoying flaws or design missteps it's still a neat experience.
+ Gameplay is good. The combat, the selection screens, everything is which requires for you to push buttons has been made well. The combat especially is balanced between easy and challenging and offers many ways to battle foes.
+ Music is awesome. No other comment. The cream of Ps2 games' music.
+ Voice-acting is surprisingly good. The actors are top-notch, too bad you can't watch the game's cutscenes anywhere except in YouTube.com.
+ The improvement over Lament of Innocence is notable. All the new weapons, new elements to combat, better cutscenes etc.
+ The setting (story) is your little-better-than-average- Castlevania style. I'd say it's better than in the Lament of Innocence, not by a whole lot but still. It's ok.
+ The graphics are ok too. Nothing too special but satisfying.
- The level design is the curse of this game. The levels quickly get boring, and you'll constantly use Hector's (the protagonist) evade-move to move even slightly faster. The level design literally kills the game's potential fun factor by half.
- There's not much to say on the side of level design. The bosses are ok, but the enemies are quite cheap sometimes.
Special praise: The outlook of the game is superb. Cover artwork is magnificent, the graphics are ok and the music is godlike. (They must have spent too much time on these factors rather thatn the level design.)
Curse of Darkness could have been the greatest 3d-Castlevania to date, but the cursed level design banished the fans of both action and Castlevania games. I'd still recommend it to anyone who wants a decent game with good voice-acting and music. Oh God, the music is incredible.

Q: Transferering variable from one function to another without triggering random.choice I'm very new to python and have gotten stuck on a problem for hours. I'm making a quiz game that picks a random word and you have to answer correctly. When I at first run the code everything i good and working correctly, but after the new_word() function is called the click() function doesn't update so it ends up being the same answer even though the question changed. I tried to resolve this by calling the new_word() function inside the click() function but that brings out even more problems.
Below is my code with the only exception being that ('filedirectory') is my actual filedirectory for the .csv file
. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
import random
from random import choice, randrange
from tkinter import *
import csv

window = Tk()

window.geometry("400x200")
window.title("Test")

def new_word():
    with open('filedirectory') as f:
        reader = csv.reader(f)
        Entree = random.choice(list(reader))
    show_word['text'] = Entree[0].title()
    return Entree

show_word = Label(window, text="Your word is:")
show_word.grid(row=1, column= 0)

def click():
    print(Entree)
    input_text = textentry.get()
    output.delete(0.0, END)
    # Entree = new_word()
    if input_text == Entree[1]:
        output.insert(END, "Correct")
    else:
        output.insert(END, "That's wrong: " + Entree[1])

Entree = new_word()

Button(window, width=6 , height=1 , text="Validate", command=click, takefocus=0).grid(row=3, column=0)

textentry = Entry(window, width=20)
textentry.grid(row=2, column= 0)
textentry.focus()

Button(window, width=6, height=1, text="New word", command=new_word ,takefocus=0).grid(row=2, column=1)

def press_enter(enter):
    click()
window.bind('<Return>', press_enter)

Label(window, text="Definition", takefocus=0).grid(row=4, column=0)

output = Text(window, height=3, width=40, wrap=WORD, takefocus=0)
output.grid(row=5, column=0)

def press_tab(tab):
    new_word()
    textentry.delete(0, END)
    output.delete(0.0, END)
window.bind('<Tab>', press_tab)

Button(window, text='Quit', command=window.destroy, takefocus=0).grid(row=7, column=1)

window.mainloop()

A: Button runs new_word() but it doesn't know what to do with value returned but new_word() - you have to use global Entree and assign value directly to this variable.
def new_word():
    global Entree

    with open('filedirectory') as f:
        reader = csv.reader(f)
        Entree = random.choice(list(reader))

    show_word['text'] = Entree[0].title()

And at start you have to run new_word() instead of Entree = new_word()

I woke up really early again, but it was totally worth it starting with Puffins, GN and RT divers, Seal, Knots, Dunlins, Oystercatchers, Arctic Terns and Skuas, Snow Buntings, Common Eiders and Snipes, Whimbrels, Golden Plovers, HG, BHG, GBbG and LBbG, Whooper Swans and new friendships, we met two cyclists from Spain, really nice, we drunk tea together and I show them birds with my scope, and later the Belgium family join us before they left to Reykjavik. We packed up and 7:50 we left the camp site, we saw that there is better road towards our next destinations so hike back about 8km to the main road. We saw many birds on our way, but it was difficult to not to share I managed to spot a dolphin's fin in the fjord. We reached the main road and we tried for 1015 min before a German tourist picked us by the way to Reykjavik. It was a cargo type camper car, which was usually not stopping, but he let my travel parthner to sit back there and I sit on the passenger seat. He was traveling with his son before, but the son decided to continue with a friend, so the car was enough space for both of us. He took us to a crossroad we need to get to the West fjords. So soon we got some water and handshake before he left. So here we go again, another 15 min and another miracle one more car that never stopped so far…Škoda. There was a mother with her son. They were really friendly, we made a short brake at the gas station. And then we continued to the place where our routes splits. And we just waited maybe 5 minutes when a small green Chevy Spark stoped, and again a german tourist that not only took as to our next destination but also took us to very special as I call them Wow waterfalls first and then we stopped wherever he saw a beautiful view. So it was time to enjoy Iceland's hot springs and we also stopped on the place that our previous german tourist point on the map too. It was a wonderful experience to sit in the hot water and then dip in the fjord's waters (about +30-35°C in the hot spot and +12°C in the ocean). Then you felt the little needles through your body when you come back to the hot water. It was really unforgettable. As well as the roads and views from and to the place where our final destination was – Latrabjarg. On our way we stopped few times for ladnscape photos, by the route. The oldest Icelandic metal ship build in 1912, and putted to the place in 1981, also magical sand beaches and mountain lakes. But this was only the beginning and soon we were in the Puffin paradise, we start taking photos of the cute little creatures, when a swiss guy call us that they were watching Killer whales family of 5 and seals….wow I still couldn't believe it, but it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. After that we come back to the car and it was time to rest and we had to settle in the campsite and of course eat something.

Home / Stories / Yancy and Sissy on The Waltons were married in real life, too
Yancy and Sissy on The Waltons were married in real life, too
Cissy Wellman on Robert Donner: "He was a phenomenal actor."
December 28, 2020, 8:33AM By MeTV Staff
In the 1973 Waltons episode "The Chicken Thief," John-Boy confronts a real dilemma when he catches an old family friend Yancy Tucker snatching chickens from other people's coops.
Tucker has a good reason for his stealing, or at least he thinks so. He's been taking from the rich and giving to the poor like a regular Robin Hood. John-Boy feels conflicted, though, walking this moral gray line with his dad's buddy.
On The Waltons, Yancy Tucker appeared in 19 episodes from 1972–78. Played by Robert Donner, the character was one of the most eccentric folks on the mountain.
Pay close attention next time you watch "The Chicken Thief," though, and you'll recognize Cissy Wellman, an actor who eventually gets cast on The Waltons as a character named Sissy Walker.
You'll remember her because she marries Yancy Tucker. But in "The Chicken Thief," Wellman plays a different character. Here, Jane Aspen is a waitress at the Nip-n-Tuck Café who's not linked to Tucker at all.
In the real world, though, Donner and Wellman were already married when audiences were watching them in "The Chicken Thief."
They met on the set of a 1964 Jerry Lewis movie called The Disorderly Orderly. They both had uncredited roles, him as an intern and her as a nurse, but they caught each other's eyes behind the scenes. Calling himself nothing but a glorified extra, Donner said, "I'm forever in Jerry Lewis' debt." Bit parts in The Disorderly Orderly and The Nutty Professor completely changed Donner's life.
And Wellman's, too. At the time, Wellman didn't even want to be an actor. She was more interested in being a stewardess. She was used to flying anywhere at a moment's notice, so when Donner called her to join him on location, she flew out not knowing he would soon propose. He was smitten, and she said yes.
They got married in December 1965 at the Little Brown Church in Hollywood where many other stars wed, including Patty Duke to Harry Falk Jr. the very same year — and, a dozen years prior, Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
For Wellman, their wedding meant it was time to consider what she wanted to do in her career because she truly believed in her husband's talents and wanted to be by his side to support him, as he took on role after role. "He was a phenomenal actor, Robert Donner," Wellman told Love Letters Live. She wanted to do whatever it took to get him noticed.
"You know, I got his career going, and we were traveling a lot," Wellman said. "So I sort of stopped [my career] until The Waltons in the Seventies."
After Donner took the recurring role on The Waltons, Wellman joined him, appearing for three of the five years he spent on the show, including playing Sissy Walker from 1976–78.
"He played Yancy Tucker and I played Sissy Walker," Wellman said. Walker worked at the Dew Drop Inn, where she catches Yancy's eye right away. That's how Wellman ended up marrying her husband for a second time on TV.
"That was fabulous," Wellman said.
The Waltons character Sissy Walker is introduced in a fifth season episode fittingly called "The Comeback." From that moment on, Wellman's acting career was back on, as she guest-starred on shows like Charlie's Angels and CHiPs, and even played Clint Eastwood's wife in the harrowing opening scene of The Outlaw Josey Wales.
On The Waltons, Donner and Wellman exchanged vows for the second time onscreen in the episode "The First Casualty," which is a real tearjerker of an episode. Their wedding provides some levity.
Fans of classic TV likely remember what happened next in Donner's career, as he hopped TV shows from The Waltons to Mork & Mindy. On the Robin Williams sitcom, Donner played Mork's "adopted dad" Exidor for 23 episodes. After Donner's time on Mork & Mindy ended, so did his marriage to Wellman. Both eventually happily remarried.

"They got married in December 1965 at the Little Brown Church in Hollywood where many other stars wed, including Patty Duke to Harry Falk Jr. the very same year — and, a dozen years prior, Ronald and Nancy Reagan."
The Little Brown Church is in Studio City, in the San Fernando Valley, not Hollywood.
And it should be noted that Cissy Wellman is the daughter of William Wellman, director of such classic films as "Beau Geste," "The Ox-Bow Incident" and "BattleGround."

Cissy is still with us age 77. Yay. Mr. Donner passed away in 2006 age 75. R.I.P. He also played Exidor on Mork & Mindy. Among many other roles.

Students in a sports marketing class at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) will conduct a study this semester to determine the feasibility of establishing an Indigenous-owned professional hockey squad. The study will also help determine if it is plausible to have an all-Indigenous women's club compete at international events. Ted Nolan, a former National Hockey League (NHL) player and coach, believes the answer, at least whether a women's Indigenous team can be formed, is a resounding yes. No
Texas sued the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday to prevent it from asking pharmacies to fill reproductive health prescriptions. The Biden administration said in July 2022 that refusing to fill prescriptions for drugs that could be used to terminate a pregnancy could violate federal law, regardless of various state bans on the procedure. This guidance from the Biden administration, which involved roughly 60,000 U.S. retail pharmacies, came days after Biden signed an executive order easing access to services to terminate pregnancies after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortions legal nationwide.

La giovinezza

Anne Parr era figlia di Sir Thomas Parr e di Maud Green ultima di altri due fratelli, William Parr, I marchese di Northampton (14 agosto 1513-28 ottobre 1571) e Catherine.
Nel 1517 suo padre morì vittima della Malattia del sudore lasciando una giovane vedova di appena venticinque anni, incinta e con la responsabilità di amministrare l'eredità per i suoi tre figli.
Maud aveva un'occupazione a corte essendo dama di compagnia di Caterina d'Aragona ed era anche a capo della Royal School della corte dove Anne fu educata insieme alla sorella Catherine e alle figlie di altri nobili. Le bambine ebbero la possibilità di essere educate dal grande Umanista Juan Luis Vives che era uno dei maggiori insegnanti della scuola. Maud aveva insegnato alle figlie a leggere e a scrivere e in futuro esse vennero istruite nel francese, nella filosofia, teologia e nello studio dei classici. Da adulta Anne asserì che in casa sua veniva applicato il metodo educativo di Tommaso Moro che prevedeva l'istruzione di ragazzi e ragazze insieme, cosa che in casa Parr avvenne fino al 1525 quando suo fratello William se ne andò per unirsi alla corte di Henry FitzRoy, I duca di Richmond e Somerset, figlio illegittimo di Enrico.

A corte

Nel 1528 Maud ottenne per Anne un posto presso la corte della regina Caterina e pose la figlia sotto la custodia del re, e quando Caterina venne soppiantata da Anna Bolena Anne rimase al suo posto e andò a servire lei. La personalità di Anna sopraffece quella di Anne che divenne una fervente sostenitrice della Nuova Fede, la caduta e l'esecuzione di Anna in ogni caso non la toccarono perché andò a servire, nel 1536, la nuova regina, Jane Seymour essendo presente anche al battesimo del piccolo Edoardo il 15 ottobre 1537 e al conseguente funerale di Jane. Morta Jane Anne servì Anna di Clèves e poi Caterina Howard e all'arresto di lei le vennero dati in custodia i gioielli della regina.
Nel febbraio 1538 Anne si sposò con William Herbert, I conte di Pembroke, figlio di Richard Herbert (morto nel 1510) a sua volta figlio illegittimo di William Herbert, I conte di Pembroke (1423 circa-27 luglio 1469) che era caduto combattendo nella Guerra delle due rose.
Non è noto se il matrimonio fra i due fosse d'amore o combinato, ma è curioso notare come sia lei che la sorella fossero attratte da impetuosi uomini inclini all'azione e con una tendenza alla cattiva fama. Grazie all'infatuazione del re per Catherine, che poi sposò, Anne e il marito godettero per alcuni anni del favore di Enrico comprese alcune rendite e gli venne concesso l'uso del Baynard's Castle a Londra. Dal loro matrimonio nacquero tre figli e per la nascita del secondogenito sua sorella Catherine le prestò il maniero di Hanworth perché vi si potesse riprendere. Poco dopo Anne andò a fare visita a Anne Stanhope, che aveva da poco partorito anch'essa e nel mese di agosto sua sorella mandò una chiatta a prenderla per riportarla a Westminster.

Anne e Catherine

Anne fu presente al matrimonio della sorella con Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra che si tenne ad Hampton Court il 12 luglio 1543. Nel settembre del 1544 suo marito William fu nominato cavaliere a seguito dell'assedio di Boulogne, mentre Anne divenne la principale delle dame di compagnia della sorella. Anne fu parte della combriccola protestante che circondava la sorella alla corte e nel 1546 quando la protestante Anne Askew venne arrestata con l'accusa di eresia coloro che si opponevano a Catherine provarono a far confessare alla donna che la regina, Anne e le altre donne si erano convertite al protestantesimo.
Il vescovo Stephen Gardiner insieme a Thomas Wriothesley, I conte di Southampton (21 dicembre 1505-30 luglio 1550 e Richard Rich, I barone Rich furono coinvolti nelle torture a danno della Askew per farle dire che Anne, la regina e altre dame in particolare Catherine Willoughby, nipote del re, Anne Stanhope, zia del principe Edoardo, ed Anne Calthorpe (morta fra il 22 agosto 1579 e il 29 marzo 1582) erano eretiche, Gardiner ottenne quindi dal re il permesso di arrestare Caterina per le sue credenze religiose.
Catherine ottenne di poter vedere il marito e con acume disse che il suo interesse per la nuova fede era dovuto al solo fatto che ella voleva acquisire nuovi argomenti con cui distrarlo nelle loro conversazioni giacché il re era afflitto da una dolorosa ulcera alla gamba.
Enrico si lasciò persuadere e prima che l'arresto avesse luogo i due si riconciliarono. Il 28 gennaio 1547 Enrico morì e Catherine si trasferì insieme alla sorella e al resto della sua corte a Chelsea. Suo marito William divenne uno dei guardiani del nuovo re il decenne Edoardo VI d'Inghilterra, poco dopo Catherine si sposò con Thomas Seymour, I barone Seymour di Sudeley, zio del re, e nel settembre 1548 morì di Febbre puerperale dopo aver partorito una bambina.

Gli onori e la morte

La morte di Catherine non segnò la fine della fortuna di Anne e del marito. Nell'ottobre del 1551 egli divenne un Pari d'Inghilterra quando venne insignito del titolo di Conte di Pembroke e nel 1553 ricevette parte delle terre di Edward Seymour, I duca di Somerset che era caduto in disgrazia ed era stato giustiziato, fra cui alcune proprietà nel Wiltshire e dei terreni boscosi nei pressi della New Forest. Quando anche Thomas Arundell venne giustiziato Anne e il marito ricevettero il Castello di Wardour con l'omonimo parco oltre che alcune proprietà che erano appartenute alla Diocesi di Winchester.
Anna morì il 20 febbraio 1552 quando era divenuta una delle dame della principessa Maria e venne sepolta all'Antica cattedrale di San Paolo.
William si risposò con Anne Talbot senza avere altri figli ed egli stesso morì il 17 marzo 1570 e venne sepolto nella stessa chiesa della moglie.

I figli

Insieme Anne e William ebbero tre figli:
Henry Herbert, II conte di Pembroke che si sposò in prime nozze con Catherine Grey, le nozze vennero annullate nel 1554 ed egli si risposò con Catherine Talbot, figlia di George Talbot, VI conte di Shrewsbury ed infine con Mary Sidney, da cui ebbe diversi figli fra cui William Herbert, III conte di Pembroke e Philip Herbert, IV conte di Pembroke
Edward Herbert (1547-1595)
Anne Herbert (1550-1592), che si sposò con Francis Talbot, figlio di George Talbot, VI conte di Shrewsbury divenendo quindi cognata del proprio fratello

For sale: This Aussie island is cheaper than a house
Anastasia Santoreneos
Yahoo Finance 9 July 2019
A 69-acre island is on sale for just $385,000. Source: Australian Islands
Purchasing property might be a far-away dream, but then again, so is buying a whole island.
But it turns out buying an island might actually be way more achievable - the national median house price is $748,217, or a whopping $1.03 million in Sydney.
Australia's cheapest island. Source: Australian Islands
But for just $385,000, a 69-acre island off the coast of Queensland could be yours.
Worthington Island is within a 30 minute boat ride to the nearest city, Gladstone Harbour, and it's "easily the cheapest island" Private Islands Australia agent, Richard Vanhoff, has ever seen.
"The owner just wants to sell the island and move on," Vanhoff told the Courier Mail.
"He's had it for many, many years and he doesn't visit the island all that often now."
Worthington Island was leased from the Department of Natural Resources and Mines with eight years left to run, but Vanhoff says the tenants will renew the lease for another 25 years.
Described as ideal for a family or someone who loves the outdoors, the island is close to all facilities, and of course the fishing is great.
"There's an abundance of crabs and fish."
"The current owner tells me he can live off the back door for a whole month just eating fish and crabs — and mangoes."
Vanhoff said the new owner could resurrect the island's orchards to offset any costs, and make use of the now-empty bee boxes.

Summer on the Gulf of Mexico is a magical time of year.

The Color and Light Seminars are designed to give participating artists and Miano assistants the unique opportunity of practicing color and light key life studies while enjoying the beauty of Florida's natural environment. These seminars are planned to give participants a most comfortable and stimulating learning experience.

Participants will come away with greater knowledge and skill, as well as completed studies and finished compositions.

Artists will sketch en plein air in the breezy evening on the Gulf of Mexico Lido Beach in Sarasota. They will then return to the studio to complete a Beach Sunset Composition from the studies.
Artists will learn how to quickly sketch "Alla Prima," the colorful harmonies and abstract patterns of some of nature's most vibrant subject matter. This seminar will highlight color composition and painting from life under nature's light.
Often without much experience, students contend with washed-out or chalky flesh tones when painting portraits, In this seminar, learn how to capture a likeness, as well as the vibrant tones of a young person's skin tone.
