Wigan Athletic's victory in the FA Cup final on Saturday was sold as a fairytale. Dave Whelan, who had broken his leg in the 1960 final, was back at Wembley 53 years later with a club he had taken from the fourth tier to the apex of English football.
Whelan was 23 when he lined up for Blackburn Rovers at the old Wembley stadium. By the 43rd minute of the match, his career at the club was over. With half-time approaching and Blackburn trailing to an own goal, the young left-back flew into a challenge with the Wolves winger Norman Deeley, a moment that changed his life.
The most complicated FA Cup draw of all time | The Knowledge
"I knew immediately when he hit me that my leg was broken," says Whelan. "I was running at full pace – obviously you can't stop."
As both players lay on the grass, the referee waved play on. Eventually Deeley made it to his feet. He went on to score two goals and win the man of the match award. Whelan was taken off on a stretcher and woke up in hospital.
"The first thing I remember after coming round is being wheeled down a hospital corridor with the surgeon at my side," says Whelan. "I opened my eyes and asked him, 'How have Blackburn got on?'. He said: 'I'm sorry, you've lost 3-0.' I started crying. It just burst out of me. I was absolutely desperate, in despair as I lay in that hospital bed."
Whelan's return to a Cup final with Wigan ranks as one of the most remarkable Wembley stories. But football has a cruel way of being kind. Three days after celebrating the first major trophy in Wigan's 81-year history, the Cup winners' careers took a turn for the worse after a 4-1 defeat at Arsenal on Tuesday night.
Footballers at the top of the game exist in a cosseted world of privilege, but relegation is about as close to real life as it gets. Going down a division brings with it concerns and worries uncommon to men who receive more in a month that the rest of us earn in our entire careers.
Sympathising with top-level footballers is not easy, but as The Secret Footballer has explained, relegation can strip players of their comforts and make them susceptible to the challenges faced by the rest of us: "My contract, as was the case with many of the other players, was about to be cut in half and my assets, mainly property, bought on the back of a Premier League spending spree, were hopelessly exposed. In short, I could not afford to keep up the payments on any of it and as a result everything I owned would be at the mercy of the bank."
Wigan's players have made an odd kind of history. No team has ever won the FA Cup and gone down from the top tier in the same season. A few have come close. Manchester City (1926), Leicester City (1969), Brighton & Hove Albion (1983), Middlesbrough (1997) and Portsmouth (2010) were all relegated as Cup finalists, but unlike Wigan, none of them won the trophy.
It has been an odd week for Whelan, who said that no words could express the emotions he felt on Saturday afternoon. As his club fall off the Premier League gravy train and he has to consider the possibility of losing his manager and Cup-winning squad to the realities of relegation, Whelan can take comfort from knowing that he has rebuilt his life from more crushing disappointments. And, unlike the clubs below, at least Wigan won their final.
Portsmouth 2010: lost to Chelsea
Portsmouth, who will play in the fourth tier of English football next season after finishing bottom of League One in 2012-13, were in the Cup final only three years ago. Didier Drogba scored the only goal of the game to cap a thoroughly miserable end to the season for Portsmouth.
Portsmouth's league campaign was a disaster. They picked up a 10-point penalty for going into administration, but Avram Grant's team would have finished bottom of the league even without the points deduction. Whether they will ever make it back to the top flight or a Cup final remains to be seen, but after three years in freefall, at least their fans now have a say in the running of the club.
Middlesbrough 1997: lost to Chelsea
It's difficult to imagine now, but in the mid-1990s Middlesbrough had one of the most exciting teams in English football. They were spearheaded by Fabrizio Ravanelli, who scored a hat-trick against Liverpool on his debut, but the team's true star was Juninho, who claimed that winning the League Cup with Middlesbrough in 2004 meant more to him than winning the 2002 World Cup with Brazil.
Juninho had three spells with the club, but the 1996-97 season was the dramatic centre of his time in England. Middlesbrough were docked three points for postponing a league match with Blackburn Rovers and, despite the best efforts of TFL (The Little Fella, as Juninho was nicknamed by the Boro fans), they ended up going down. Had they not been deducted those points, Middlesbrough would have finished well clear of the relegation zone. When their fate was confirmed on the final day of the season, Juninho sank to the floor and began to cry.
To add to the heartbreak, Middlesbrough took Leicester City to a replay in the League Cup final before losing to a single goal from Steve Claridge. Their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup final summed up the brutal disappointment of their season.
Brighton & Hove Albion 1983: lost to Manchester United
Brighton finished bottom of the First Division in 1982-83, the last season they have played in the top tier. Their FA Cup run was, on the other hand, quite incredible. They beat Newcastle in a third round replay, before thumping Manchester City 4-0 in the fourth round. They went to Anfield in the fifth round and beat the eventual league winners Liverpool 2-1. After victories against Norwich City and Sheffield Wednesday, they faced Manchester United in the final.
Brighton have only played in one FA Cup final in their history, so they made sure to enjoy their big day out in 1983. Their sponsors hired a helicopter to take the players from the club's hotel in Croydon to Wembley.
"We were a bunch of jokers," recalled the Brighton midfielder Jimmy Case. "We knew we were the underdogs against United but we were those types of characters anyway. Before the final, we had a lunch and this comedian, Bob 'the Cat' Bevan, who was a Brighton fan, came in and did a show for us before we got on the helicopter." As the Brighton team touched down in a school carpark down the road from Wembley, the pilot declared: "The Seagulls have landed!"
Brighton's league form had been atrocious, but they played well in the final. With a few minutes left, Gary Steven scored their equaliser to force the game into extra time. Gordon Smith could have won the Cup for Brighton in the last minute, when he was sent through one-on-one with the United goalkeeper Gary Bailey. Smith scuffed the shot, Bailey saved it and Brighton's chance was gone. They were thumped 4-0 in the replay five days later.
Leicester City 1969: lost to Manchester City
Leicester have played in four FA Cup finals, but have never won the tournament. They last reached the final in 1969, the same year they were relegated to the Second Division. Neil Young scored the only goal of the game for Manchester City, the reigning First Division champions. City were not to win another FA Cup until 2011, when Roberto Mancini led the club to their first trophy in 35 years. Remember him?
Leicester could at least take comfort from selecting the youngest captain in an FA Cup final. "It was a great honour," said David Nish, who was 21 years old in 1969 and went on to work at Leicester's academy and as a postman in his retirement.
"Leading them out in front of 100,000 people was special and I will always remember the fantastic reception we got from our fans. Playing-wise, though, I was a bit overawed by it all and didn't really concentrate enough on the day. Then there was the Wembley pitch, which had recently staged a horse show, and the state of it was disappointing to say the least."
"After Wembley, we had another five league games to go," said Nish. "We had to go to Old Trafford for the last game to stay up, which was a big ask. I scored in the first minute but 10 minutes later we were 2-1 down and eventually lost 3-2. Being relegated was just as disappointing as losing a Cup final. It was a horrible feeling just sitting there in the dressing room afterwards."
Nish finished his career playing indoor football for the San Jose Earthquakes, but he stuck around to help Leicester City win the Second Division in the 1970-71 season.
Manchester City 1926: lost to Bolton Wanderers
In a sign of the times, Manchester City kicked off their FA Cup campaign with an away tie against amateur club Corinthians. Although Corinthians had been formed in 1882, they were relative FA Cup novices, having waited until 1923 to "depart from their usual rules and take part in a contest which did not have charity as its primary object".
City's Cup run threw up some bizarre scorelines: they drew 3-3 with Corinthians in their first meeting, before beating them 4-0 in the replay; in the fourth round they thrashed the eventual First Division champions Huddersfield Town 4-0; in the fifth round they walloped Crystal Palace 11-4; in the quarter-final they won 6-1 at Clapton Orient; and they beat Manchester United 3-0 at Bramall Lane in their semi-final. Their goalscoring form deserted them during the final, which they lost 1-0 to Bolton Wanderers, who became the first side to win two Wembley finals.
In the league, City finished a single point below both Burnley and Leeds United and went down with Notts County, to be replaced by Derby County and The Wednesday, as they were named until 1929.

BOSTON—Without question, Game 1 belonged to Mitch Marner. He spun and wheeled and found the safest dangerous places, out of the reach of Boston's best, and afterward Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy casually called him Toronto's best player. More, Cassidy moved his best guys away from Marner and John Tavares and Zach Hyman in the third period. Maybe he had seen enough.
Mostly, Cassidy shifted them to Auston Matthews. Matthews and his linemates of Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson had been pinned in their own end more than you'd like against the line anchored by Boston's second-line centre, David Krejci; against the Patrice Bergeron line, featuring Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, they were pinned a little more. Matthews had hit a post and had another great chance, and his line had a better share of the chances than the shot totals suggested; Marner, though, was the one who broke through.
In a way it was a footnote to Toronto's 4-1 Game 1 win, in which the Maple Leafs drew on so many strong performances against the team that eliminated them a year ago. It's not a bad problem to have, with only one franchise player blazing across the sky.
But it was also an echo of last year's series. Marner led the Leafs with two goals and seven assists for nine points in those seven games; Matthews had one goal and one assist, despite a team-high 27 shots on goal. His underperformance was overblown, but that's hockey for you.
Down the stretch of the regular season, after an elite season in which he didn't visibly progress, Matthews began to fly again. He had 36 shots on goal in 13 games in December; he had 70 shots on goal in 14 games in March. William Nylander on his wing helped, but Nylander was back down on the third line in Game 1, and he finished a beautiful stretch pass from Nazem Kadri for Toronto's third goal.
As every Leaf echoed after Game 1, it was only one game, which seems self-evident when you put it like that. But it was also a reminder of the funny pas-a-deux the Leafs have been lucky enough to be doing the past few years. Marner had a slower build to his current peak, but he was tied with Tavares for third in the league in points per 60 minutes played at 5-on-5. Matthews, the instant NHL prodigy, was third in that measure last season; this year, he was 10th.
And of course Matthews got his five-year contract, and Marner, who decided not to negotiate during the season, remains unsigned. Next thing you know, the fine people at TSN are debating whether he is pricing himself out of the Leafs' cap situation. Which, eh, you pay for stars.
The Leafs already paid Matthews, and there are a lot of people who still think his ceiling is second only to Connor McDavid's, with health and growth. But when Toronto recruited Tavares they sold him on Marner, and they formed the line that Babcock trusts with the toughest assignments. Suddenly, Matthews was one hell of a second-line centre.
And in Game 1 Marner had two goals, one short-handed, was on the ice at 5-on-5 for seven shots for and two against with Bergeron on the ice, and he left Boston trying to figure out how to contain his quick feet and quicker mind.
So now it's Matthews' turn. He might get more of the Bergeron line in Game 2, or if the Bruins split up that line and the Zdeno Chara-Charlie McAvoy pair, more of the giant who helped limit Matthews in that series last year. If it's the Bergeron line, well, they combined this season for 106 goals, which was as many as Boston's next 11 highest scorers. You hold that line, you beat Boston. And they're going to either see a lot of Marner and Tavares, or Matthews.
Mitch Marner has announced himself. If Auston Matthews does too, buckle your seatbelt. Then this thing could get really fun.

Feature vectors of ResNet-50 model pre-trained on RESISC-45 remote sensing
dataset.

<!-- dataset: multiple -->
<!-- asset-path: legacy -->
<!-- task: image-feature-vector -->
<!-- network-architecture: resnet-v2-50 -->
<!-- fine-tunable: true -->
<!-- format: hub -->

## Overview

This module was pretrained for remote sensing applications on the RESISC-45
dataset.

## Usage

This module implements the common signature for
[image feature-vector](https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/common_signatures/images#feature-vector).
It can be used like

```python
module = hub.Module("https://tfhub.dev/google/remote_sensing/resisc45-resnet50/1")
images = ...  # A batch of images with shape [batch_size, height, width, 3].
features = module(images)  # Features with shape [batch_size, num_features].
```

For this module, the size of the input image is flexible, but it would be best
to match the model training input, which was `height` x `width` = 224 x 224
pixels. The input `images` are expected to have color values in the range [0,1],
following the
[common image input](https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/common_signatures/images#input)
conventions.

## Fine-tuning

The recommended use of this module is to
[fine-tune](https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/tf1_hub_module#fine-tuning) it on custom datasets.

Fine-tuning requires importing the graph version with tag set `{"train"}` in
order to operate batch normalization in training mode.

Father's Day Finds
June 13, 2018 Adah Fitzgerald
If you still haven't purchased a gift for Father's Day, then chances are good it's because you can't decide what to get. Our booksellers put our heads together to brainstorm how a last-minute shopper might be able to express their gratitude for any important parental figures or partners. Find a selection of reads for a variety of interests below, and let us know if there's a recent release we ought to add to the list!
For the futurist: Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harai
Yuval Noah Harari, author of the critically-acclaimed New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Sapiens, returns with an equally original, compelling, and provocative book, turning his focus toward humanity's future. Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers?
For the outdoorsman: Look Big by Rachel Levin
As humans encroach on wild places, encounters with animals--from bears, bees, mountain lions, and mice to turkeys, ticks, and raccoons--have become commonplace. But what are the rules for facing a moose up close? Do you run from a coyote or curl up and play dead? How deadly. really, are black widow spiders, rattlesnakes, and jellyfish? Packed with expert tips, fascinating animal facts, and harrowing true tales, Look Big is a must-have survival guide for hikers, campers, and owners of skunk-sprayed suburban pets everywhere.
For the hophead: Great NC Beer Map by EDIA Maps
Beyond listing and mapping out over 180 craft breweries in the state, The Great NC Beer Map provides all the practical information for getting you there and finding the exact brewery experience you're looking for. Aside from basic information, such as addresses, hours, and phone numbers, details are provided on brewery tours, special release days, beer distribution, food availability, game availability, pet-friendliness, and hours for those 21 and over. Forty-three craft beer festivals are also listed.
For the sports fanatic: Upon Further Review by Mike Pesca
Upon Further Review is a book of counterfactual sporting scenarios. In its pages the reader will find expertly reported histories, where one small event is flipped on its head, and the resulting ripples are carefully documented, the likes of: What if the U.S. boycotted Hitler's Olympics? What if Bobby Riggs beat Billie Jean King? What if Bucky Dent popped out at the foot of the Green Monster? What if Drew Bledsoe never got hurt? Upon Further Review takes classic arguments conducted over pints in a pub and places them in the hands of dozens of writers, athletes, and historians. From turning points that every sports fan rues or celebrates, to the forgotten would-be inflection points that defined sports, Upon Further Reviewanswers age old questions, and settles the score, even if the score bounced off the crossbar.
For the politically frazzled: What Unites Us by Dan Rather
At a moment of crisis over our national identity, venerated journalist Dan Rather has emerged as a voice of reason and integrity, reflecting on—and writing passionately about—what it means to be an American. Now, with this collection of original essays, he reminds us of the principles upon which the United States was founded. Looking at the freedoms that define us, from the vote to the press; the values that have transformed us, from empathy to inclusion to service; the institutions that sustain us, such as public education; and the traits that helped form our young country, such as the audacity to take on daunting challenges in science and medicine, Rather brings to bear his decades of experience on the frontlines of the world's biggest stories. As a living witness to historical change, he offers up an intimate view of history, tracing where we have been in order to help us chart a way forward and heal our bitter divisions.
For the historian: Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston
Based on interviews with the last known survivor of the Atlantic slave trade, featuring Cudjo's unique vernacular, and written from Hurston's perspective with the compassion and singular style that have made her one of the preeminent American authors of the twentieth-century, Barracoon brilliantly illuminates the tragedy of slavery and one life forever defined by it. Offering insight into the pernicious legacy that continues to haunt us all, black and white, this poignant and powerful work is an invaluable contribution to our shared history and culture.
For the recent father: Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada by Jimmy Fallon
Everyone knows that fathers wage a secret campaign to ensure that their babies' first word is "Dada!" But how does it work? One of the most popular entertainers in the world and NBC's The Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon, shows you how.

The GP Montreal podium (l-r): Peter Sagan, Robert Gesink and Ryder Hesjedal.
Robert Gesink (Rabobank) captured his first one-day ProTour event victory in solo fashion at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal on Sunday. The Dutchman attacked on the last of 16 laps and held off a chase group by just four seconds to take the win ahead of Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Doimo) and Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Transitions).
"I'm really excited to win this race," said Gesink. "I saw the course for the first time yesterday and I thought it was a really good one for me. I am really happy and this is a really big victory for me.
"I didn't think I was going to be able to hold it because I was suffering, especially at the end when the group almost caught me," he added. "The whole last lap I doubted whether or not I could finish. There was no use in thinking about that but it was really painful seeing the guys coming behind. I just had enough at the end."
Gesink attacked the some 40 riders left in the peloton the last time over the circuit's decisive Ch. Camilien-Houde ascent to the top of Mont Royal. He orbited the final nine kilometres with a slim eight-second lead ahead of a six-man chase that included Sagan and Hesjedal, plus Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Sky), Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Mauro Santambrogio (BMC Racing), Haimar Zubeldia (RadioShack) and Maxime Monfort (HTC-Columbia).
A tactical battle amongst the riders in the chase group lead to a disorganised effort and they were unable to close the four-second gap to Gesink. Boasson Hagen crashed through the U-turn with 500 metres to the finish line, making Sagan the odds-on favourite to take second place.
"Robert was already too far ahead when it was time to sprint," said Sagan. "There were four or five in my group but I think it was pretty obvious that Robert had already won the race."
Hesjedal was pleased with a podium result, having placed fourth in the Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec City two days prior. He exited the final U-turn first and held on for second place in the sprint.
"This weekend has been more than good and a real learning experience for me," the Canadian explained. "To have the honour of wearing the number one bib here, what can I say? I rode as best as I could. My team was amazing and helped to control the race. They left it all out there for me."
"Congrats to Peter [Sagan]," he added. "I didn't have the pleasure of seeing his breakout rides in Paris-Nice but he is a great rider and he showed that today so I can't be upset with a third place here, it was amazing. In the big picture it was life changing to come and race here after the season that I had."
Some 170 ProTour riders lined up on the Avenue du Parc, at the base of a climb to the top of Mont Royal in excess of three kilometres. The same course was used in the 1974 World Championships won by Eddy Merckx, the 1976 Olympic road race and the site of many men's and women's World Cup events over the last two decades. The circuit was 12.6km and the men contested 16 laps for a total of 193.6km.
A highly animated first lap resulted in a breakaway that included Maarten Tjallingii (Rabobank), Gorka Izagirre (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Angel Madrazo Ruiz (Caisse d'Epargne), Julien Bernard (Ag2r-La Mondiale) and Alfredo Balloni (Lampre-Farnese Vini). The five men were later joined by Kevin Seeldraeyers (Quick Step).
The breakaway was reduced to four riders when it lost two on the third lap. Bernard fell off the pace on the ascent and Balloni crashed into the ditch on the Ch. Remembrance descent. Meanwhile, Adam Hansen (HTC-Columbia) made a valiant effort to bridge across to the breakaway when he attacked over the crest of the climb.
He established a maximum of gap of 50 seconds' gap ahead of the field but remained in no-man's land for nearly three full laps before conceding to the peloton's chase.
The four leaders worked together long enough to establish three minutes of padding over the peloton. Spain's Madrazo Ruiz took the early lead in the King of the Mountain competition but not without a fight from countryman Izagirre, Tjallingii and Seeldraeyers.
Team Sky lead the chase with a tempo fast enough to keep the breakaway at a manageable distance. Chances were good that its sprinter Edvald Boasson Hagen could win the race after he placed second in the Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec City. RadioShack was also attentive at the front of the field working for its strongman Haimar Zubeldia.
With five laps to go, RadioShack let loose a series of attacks on the steep section of Mont Royal. Markel Irizar was the first to make a move followed by Chris Horner and Tiago Machado. The pair counter attacked and formed a chase group that also included Daniel Oss (Liquigas-Doimo), Chris Anker Sorensen (Saxo Bank) and Francesco Gavazzi (Lampre-Farnese Vini). The chasers successfully bridged across to the lead group of four riders before the start of the next lap.
With four laps to go, Machado, Horner, Sorensen, Oss and Gavazzi opened up a one minute lead as the teams in the bunch like Rabobank, Quick Step, BBox Bouygues Telecom, BMC Racing, Garmin-Transitions and Euskaltel-Euskadi scrambled to get organised.
Danny Pate (Garmin-Transitions) set a strong tempo heading into the climb that allowed his teammate Ryder Hesjedal to afford an attack. Hesjedal was closely followed by Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack) and Robert Gesink (Rabobank); however, his effort was not strong enough to create a separation in the long line of climbers.
"I wouldn't say that I was conservative today but it was my game plan to stick with the strongest guys," Hesjedal said. "After the main climb there was still a lot of road to go."
Horner, Gavazzi and Sorensen continued on with a mere 14-second lead, joined by bridging riders Cyril Gautier (BBox Bouygues Telecom), Andre Steensen (Saxo Bank) and Wesley Sulzberger (FDJ).
"There was a strong group in front and the team had to work really hard, which they did," explained Gesink. "We had help from Ryder's team too and I ad to wait and wait until it was the right moment to try to make a difference."
Rabobank and Garmin-Transitions, working for their respective riders Gesink and Hesjedal, successfully caught all breakaway riders with one lap to go where Gesink to made his winning attack. "It was obvious I had to wait until the last lap," Gesink said. "I thought it was the best place to gain time on the others, if that was possible, and then to make time to the finish line."

Are U.S. Congress member violating the Olympic spirit and expressing 'narrow-minded nationalism and ignorance' with their near-hysterical reaction to news that Team USA has uniforms made in China? This editorial from China's state-run Xinhua points out that if Harry Reid and his Congressional colleagues are so angry about China-made products, they should start burning their clothes and smart phones now.
It is astounding that words of such irresponsibility were spoken by a senior political leader.
The Olympic Spirit, which has nothing to do with politics, embodies mutual understanding and fair play. By conflating uniforms with politics, U.S. politicians have revealed a narrow-minded nationalism and ignorance, violating the very essence of the Olympic Spirit.
This fury over U.S. Olympic uniforms is just another case of the fierce and at times absurd political fighting that occurs on Capitol Hill, particularly in an election year dominated by issues of economic growth and job creation.
Of course, common sense tells us that what really counts at competitive events like the Olympics is the performances of the athletes, not the origin of uniforms to be worn at the opening ceremonies.
If accusations like these are justified, why doesn't the U.S. Congress impose a ban on its members from wearing anything or using any product not made in America?

Selena Gomez sings about hating Justin Bieber in 'Lose You to Love Me'
Selena Gomez is done with Justin Bieber.
The 27-year-old pop star released "Lose You to Love Me" early Wednesday—along with a black-and-white music video shot entirely on an iPhone—and the song appears to be a Dear John letter to her ex-boyfriend, who has since married Hailey Baldwin.
"You promised the world and I fell for it / I put you first and you adored it / Set fires to my forest / And you let it burn / Sang off-key in my chorus / 'Cause it wasn't yours," Gomez sings, seemingly referring to their 2013 demo "Can't Steal Our Love."
"I saw the signs and I ignored it / Rose-colored glasses all distorted / Set fire to my purpose / And I let it burn / You got off on the hurtin' / When it wasn't yours, yeah," she continued.
The pop star's latest single explores how she had to let 25-year-old Bieber go in order to find self-confidence and self-love, as she sings in the chorus, "We'd always go into it blindly / I needed to lose you to find me / This dancing was killing me softly / I needed to hate you to love me, yeah."
The "Wolves" singer also appears to reference how quickly Bieber moved on with Baldwin after he and Gomez ended their relationship in March 2018. (Bieber was engaged to Baldwin by July 2018).
"In two months, you replaced us / Like it was easy / Made me think I deserved it / In the thick of healing, yeah," she sings.
Bieber hasn't publicly addressed the song, though Baldwin took a screenshot of Summer Walker's song "I'll Kill You" and posted it to her Instagram story shortly after Gomez released the track.

These beautiful wedding albums are hand made in the UK by Folio Albums, using the highest quality, eco-friendly materials.
There are two styles of album – Fine Art Books and Matted Albums. The key difference is with the Fine Art Books the pictures are printed onto the pages, whereas with the Matted Albums the pictures are individually printed and then mounted in between the pages.
Your wedding photographs are first printed out onto high quality paper. Each individual printed photograph is then expertly mounted beneath precision-cut bevelled mats of conservation grade. Each aperture becomes a window through which the viewer can take time to fully appreciate images in turn. Each page consists of six, hand assembled, layers, measuring a substantial 2.5mm in thickness. The albums lie flat and are trimmed flush for a perfect finish.
Available in 12×12", 10×10″ and 8×8″, each album is packaged in a natural cotton wrap with a tailored bow for a stylish finish.
You can choose to have between 10 to 30 spreads and the cover options include; Essential Cottons, Pastels, Bolds, Silks, and any of our high quality leather ranges. Photo cotton covers are not currently available.
Images are printed directly on to the page and each double spread opens out flat with an almost invisible crease so your beautiful pictures can be displayed across two pages.
These albums are printed using the latest pigment inks on to matte fine art paper and open out flat with an almost invisible crease.
These beautiful books are hand-bound using the finest quality cover materials. A range of natural cover materials are available. Cover materials include leather, fabrics, silk or photo cotton.
Available in 12×12", 10×10″ and 8×8″, each album comes in a natural cotton bag and a cardboard presentation box to keep it clean and safe. We individually package each album for shipping with great care and attention to detail.
The 6×6 albums are available as direct copies of the larger 12×12, 10×10 and 8×8 Fine Art Books, or as duplicates of a 6×6 main album.
They are made in exactly the same way as our larger books to both look and feel good. Same invisible crease. Same archival quality materials. As standard our 6×6 mini duplicates come in either our Pastel Fabric, Bold Fabric or Essential Cotton so you can coordinate with the larger albums if you wish. If you want to order a copy bound in leather, silk or photo cotton, the price will reflect the cost for ordering a main 6×6 album.
Each album comes in a natural cotton bag with presentation box to keep it clean and safe. Each album is individually packaged for shipping using 100% recycled boxes which have been manufactured to minimise waste.
One for each set of parents. Includes 20 spreads (40 sides), 100% cotton cover and cover personalisation.

Q: Copy values to only certain types of sheets I want to copy certain values from one 'Master' sheet, to certain multiple other sheets.
For example, I have 5 sheets in my workbook:

*

*Intro (with a button to activate the paste macro)

*Mock-up

*Master

*Client A

*Lists

If there is a change to the 'Master' sheet I want to copy that across to Client A. I am able to achieve this by specifying the macro button to paste changes onto sheet 4.
My question is if I now add another sheet 'Client B':

*

*Intro (with a button to activate the paste macro)

*Mock-up

*Master

*Client A

*Client B

*Lists

How do I get the same macro button to paste into 'Client A' and 'Client B'(and Client C, D, etc. when added later)?

Nutt -v- Nutt [2018] EWHC 851 (CH)
AuthorNicola Parr
On 19 April 2018 Master Clark handed down Judgment in the case of Nutt –v- Nutt [2018] EWHC 851 (CH).
The case involved the Estate of Lily Rose Nutt ("Lily") who was born on the 4th November 1924 and who died on 25 February 2013 aged 88.
In 1943 Lily married Christopher Richard Nutt who died in 1982 and together they had three children, Christopher, Vivienne and Colin.
Colin lived with his parents until May 1990. There was then little contact between him and his mother until 2003.
In early 2004 Lily was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease, in 2007 she suffered a heart attack and in 2008 she developed Paget Disease which causes a weakening of the bones.
As a result of the various illnesses with which Lily was diagnosed towards the end of her life, Lily received a lot of support from her family. Her older children Christopher and Vivienne argued that the children supported her equally during this period but her youngest son Colin maintained that he provided the majority of the assistance.
In 2005, Lily made a Will leaving her entire estate equally amongst her three children.
However, following Lily's death, Colin produced an envelope which he said that his late mother had given to him shortly before she died with the proviso that it was not to be opened until after her death.
Colin suspected that it contained a new Will but honoured his late mother's wishes, storing the envelope in his girlfriend's safe until after Lily passed away.
It transpired that the envelope did contain a Will which his mother had signed in 2010 some five years after the 2005 Will.
The 2010 Will left Lily's house worth approximately £400,000 to Colin outright as opposed to being left equally between the three siblings as previously described in the 2005 Will.
Christopher and Vivienne were, however, suspicious of the 2010 Will as there was no explanation about who had prepared it, Vivienne's name had been mis-spelt in the 2010 Will and Lily's previous wish, expressed in the 2005 Will, that her ashes should be laid to rest beside her deceased husband, was not included in the 2010 Will.
Colin and Vivienne also argued that Colin was domineering towards their late mother and had applied pressure on her to sign a new Will in his favour in 2010.
Colin asserted that his late mother always knew her own mind and had been keen to leave him the house because his two, older siblings already owned their own homes whereas Colin did not.
In making a decision, the Judge, Master Clark had to consider the following:
Did Lily sign the 2010 Will correctly and was the 2010 Will a legally valid document?
Did Lily have the requisite testamentary capacity to sign the 2010 Will?
Did Lily know of and approve the contents of the 2010 Will?
Did Colin unduly influence Lily to sign the 2010 Will?
When challenging the testamentary capacity of a person, it is important to note the following:
The burden is on the person seeking to propound the Will to establish capacity;
Where a Will is properly executed and appears rational on its face then the Court will presume capacity;
The evidential burden then falls upon the objector to raise a real doubt as to capacity;
Once a real doubt arises the burden shifts to the propounder to establish capacity.
Finally in respect of the allegation that Colin had unduly influenced his late mother to sign the 2010 Will, Master Clark said
In a case of testamentary disposition of assets, unlike a lifetime disposition, there is no presumption of undue influence;
Whether undue influence has procured the execution of a Will is therefore a question of fact;
The burden of proving it lies on the person who asserts it. It is not enough to prove that the facts are consistent with the hypothesis of undue influence. What must be shown is that the facts are inconsistent with any other hypothesis. In the modern law this is, perhaps no more than a reminder of the high burden, even on the civil standard, that a Claimant bears in proving undue influence as vitiating a testamentary disposition;
In this context undue influence means influence exercised either by coercion, in the sense that the testator's Will must be overborne, or by fraud;
Coercion is pressure that overpowers the volition without convincing the testator's judgement. It is to be distinguished from mere persuasion, appeals to ties of affection or pity for future destitution, all of which are legitimate. Pressure which causes a testator to succumb for the sake of a quiet life, if carried to an extent that overbears the testator's free judgement, discretion or wishes, is enough to amount to coercion in this sense;
The physical and mental strength of the testator are relevant factors in determining how much pressure is necessary in order to overbear the will. The will of a weak and ill person may be more easily overborne than that of a hale and hearty one. As was said in one case, simply to talk to a weak and feeble testator may so fatigue the brain that a sick person may be induced for quietness sake to do anything. A "drip drip" approach may be highly effective in sapping the will.
The question is not whether the Court considers the testator's testamentary disposition is fair because, subject to statutory powers of intervention, a testator may dispose of his estate as he wishes. The question, in the end, is whether in making his dispositions, the testator has acted as a free agent".
When considering all the facts of the case and the legal factors and tests as described above, Master Clark found as follows:
The 2010 Will was properly signed by Lily;
There was no evidence to raise a real doubt as to Lily's testamentary capacity. Lily had detailed conversations about the 2010 Will, which demonstrated that she had the necessary understanding to make a Will;
In the circumstances Master Clark found it to be inconceivable that Lily would not have read the 2010 Will and satisfied herself as to its contents before inviting witnesses to attest her signature;
Christopher and Vivienne's claim was not supported by any independent witnesses able to give evidence as to Lily's testamentary wishes at the relevant time.
There was insufficient evidence to establish undue influence. Instead it was found that Colin was "affectionate and attentive towards his mother; and not aggressive or dominating".
The 2010 Will itself provided an explanation as to Lily's reasoning as it confirmed that Colin did not own his own house, but Christopher and Vivienne did. A further reason may have been that Colin was physically nearer to Lily and more available to provide help when needed.
The 2010 Will was the valid Will and as such Colin inherited his late mother's house and the terms of the 2005 were no longer applicable.
When deciding whether or not a Will is valid, the Court will apply the available evidence so as to satisfy the legal tests referred to above. It is worth remembering that it is not the Court's role in such circumstances to make a decision as to whether or not the terms of a Will are fair or justified.
If you have any concerns about the circumstances surrounding a loved one's last Will and Testament following their death, and whether or not there are grounds to contest the Will, please contact Nicola Parr on 01636 675591 who is an Associate Solicitor who specialises in all aspects of contentious probate.

Troppo, by Madelaine Dickie
The TAG Hungerford award has a good record for recognising talented Australian authors. Set up by the City of Fremantle in WA to discover authors as yet unpublished, it consists of a cash prize and a publishing contract with Fremantle Press. Although I haven't read the prize-winning books, I've read other books by these recipients of the award, including:
1990: Brenda Walker, Crush, see my review of Reading by Moonlight
1991: Gail Jones, The House of Breathing, not an author reviewed on the blog except for Combined Reviews of A Guide to Berlin but I've read Sixty Lights and Dreams of Speaking
1993: Simone Lazaroo, The World Waiting to be Made, see my reviews of Sustenance, The Travel Writer and Lost River, Four Albums
2002: Nathan Hobby, The Fur (on my TBR). Nathan is currently writing a biography of Katharine Susannah Prichard.
2006: Alice Nelson, In Arcadia, see my review of After This and The Children's House
2008: Natasha Lester, What is Left Over, After, see my review of If I Should Lose You and A Kiss from Mr Fitzgerald
I've reviewed three winners of the award on the blog
2010 Red Dirt Talking, by Jacqueline Wright
2012 The Weaver Fish, by Robert Edeson
2016 Vodka & Apple Juice, by Jay Martin
and I've also read three of the novels shortlisted for the 2014 award picked up and published by other publishers — 2014 must have been a difficult year to choose the winner because these three are very fine novels: Seeing the Elephant, by Portland Jones; Bloodlines, by Nicole Sinclair and The Sisters' Song, by Louise Allan
The winner of that hotly contested 2014 award was Troppo, by Madelaine Dickie, published in 2016 by Fremantle Press.
Troppo is going to be on the 2020 reading list for the Indonesian book group I belong to, and it's a good choice for discussion because it's the story of a young Australian woman who goes to work in Sumatra, offering the perspective of an Australian who is fluent in Indonesian and knows the country quite well. Like Simone Lazaroo (who won the award in 1993), Dickie writes as an outsider with some inside experience of Indonesia. Most of the people in our group have a great deal of inside experience of Indonesia, so I'm looking forward to hearing what they think of the novel.
Penny, the central character and narrator of the story, is her own worst enemy. The book begins with an alarming incident where she hears first-hand from a young woman who had worked for her future boss, Shane, but she decides to ignore those warning signs. Penny is a keen surfer, telling herself that she's in Sumatra to manage a coastal resort for a few months so that she can surf in her time off, but really, she's running away. She's evading the problems she is having in her Australian relationship with a man called Josh. Some years older than her, he is everything she is not: prudent, sensible, and comfortable with routines. He's career-minded, and settled-down contentedly in Perth. But Penny, perhaps because of her disrupted youth which included time out with her father on Bali for a year, likes to party, to drift, and to have an adventurous lifestyle. Reckless and naïve, Penny is warned off working for Shane by both expats and the locals with whom she is staying, but she ignores the weight of all this hostility and takes up her job at the resort. (His offer of a huge bonus if she lasts for six months helps her to make up her mind!)
Troppo shows this young woman experiencing a conflict of values. The novel is set in November 2004, just after the Bali and Denpasar bombings, and just before the Boxing Day tsunami. In contrast to her free-and-easy year on Bali, she finds the oppressive influence of strict Islamism has spread to the remote village of Batu Batur, and it makes her feel uneasy. She wants to respect Indonesian customs and culture, and she disapproves of young women flouting the cultural mores with scanty clothing, but she's used to Western freedoms, and feels resentful of restrictions placed on women because of their gender.
Penny is not a blithe tourist with a romanticised perspective: she observes the back-breaking labour in the rice paddies and feels uncomfortable about her own privileged position. At the same time, while she knows that she and Westerners like her are regarded as rich by virtue of their capacity to travel, to holiday, and to spend freely in the Indonesian economy, she has finite resources when it comes to returning to Australia. At home she is certainly not rich, and her erratic work history in the unqualified hospitality sector makes her financial future rather precarious. But her feelings of guilt lead to impulsive generosity — which of course reinforces local opinion that she has money to burn…
Considering herself well-acquainted with the domestic politics of commercial development in Indonesia, Penny thinks that the hostility to Shane is because of his impact on village life. But she is inevitably compromised. Her job involves working in a resort that supplants the local culture with its lavish facilities. Still, she can see that not only have the local fisherman had their livelihood disrupted by restrictions imposed by Shane, but also that resort development doesn't benefit the locals if they're not employed there. She is aware that most of the thriving businesses on Bali are owned by Australians, not by the Balinese. And Shane is a typical example of someone who'd rather employ Westerners, called bules (i.e. bullies) in the novel. Shane would much rather have a barmaid who drinks herself, to serve booze to his customers.
(This reminds me of an 'guest speaker' who addressed my class when I was learning Indonesian at Gadjah Mada University. He was a (Caucasian) representative of one of the major global hotels in Yogyakarta, and he was there to offer employment to any of us who wanted to work in his hotel. He explained that he needed bilingual staff who understood diner expectations in a fine dining restaurant, and it was easy to deduce the inference. I thought this was interesting because we were all there on scholarships paid for by the Victorian government to learn Indonesian so that we could teach it in government schools, and yet he was invited there to poach us! This might have been my one-and-only experience of korupsi…)
Corruption, however, is a given in this novel. Shane is bribing the local police to ignore the way he flouts the law, and the local Indonesians in their desperation decide to deliver some very rough justice using 'black magic'. The escalation from hostility to vengeance is what drives the narrative tension and gives the novel its shocking conclusion.
I liked the sophisticated way that Dickie depicted her bilingual character in this novel. Sometimes she uses an Indonesian word or phrase, and translates it as part of the same sentence, and at other times the meaning is obvious from context. But the novel also shows Penny being excluded from conversations because the local Indonesians speak Bahasa Lampung, spoken in Southern Sumatra alongside the official language of Bahasa Indonesia. This technique is a way of showing that Penny remains an outsider in this community, and is not trusted, even by people who like her.
Sue from Whispering Gums reviewed Troppo too.
PS Dickie has just released a new novel: it's called red Can Origami and I'll be reading it soon. For more details, see here.

It's so hard to get to all the books I want to read…
I'm still bothered by an author's recent comment that she thought I hadn't liked her book because there was no review of it. This was an author whose books I love, whose every new release I've read, and I've sought out her backlist and read most of that too. Her book was on my TBR because I always try to support my favourite authors by buying their books. But the book sat there for about six months while I read other things, and I wasn't too bothered by that because it had been reviewed widely and positively elsewhere. (Like Favel Parrett's new one, which I can see waving hopefully at me from the TBROZ shelf.) And yet she was wondering whether I liked it or not. (Which of course I did!!)
This comment still troubles me. I'm sure she didn't mean to put pressure on me, but I am just one person running this show, reading and reviewing 200+ books a year, and still, there are books I really want to read on my TBR…
I want to support debut authors and small publishers who don't get much publicity elsewhere, but I also want to read the more established ones because I like their work. It's so hard!
By: Lisa Hill on December 7, 2019
It just shows how sensitive so many authors, understandably, are doesn't it. I think you read SO much they all expect so much!!! I'm sure the author understood when you explained, but I understand how you must have felt. We are sensitive too!
I on the other hand set up no such expectations, but I do know some authors wait patiently for feedback, particularly those who get little or no mainstream reviews.
BTW I haven't read any Parrett yet, which shows how hopeless I am, but, woo hoo, my reading group has scheduled her latest for next year!
I think there's more pressure on us now because print reviewing has collapsed. Look at The Oz Review this weekend: page 21 is a review about the British public school system; and GW's review of a work of international fiction. Page 22 has Louise Swinn's review of Melissa Ashley's new one and a review of a true crime story by an SMH journo. Page 23 is has two columns on Mary Costello's River Capture, and a column on John Clanchy's In Whom We Trust (another one on my TBR). Page 24 is a full page review of Australian NF: Addressing Modern Slavery. So of four pages in total, Australian fiction gets two reviews, Melissa Ashley's and John Clancy's and I'm sure they know they are lucky to get it.
The Guardian this week has two articles about Australian authors, Keneally and Tsolkias, but book reviews of Australian works? I can't find any. I can't find any at The Conversation either.
And while I don't agree with everything Alison Croggon has to say about the demise of the arts critic, she's right about a lot of it, see
https://theconversation.com/alison-croggon-and-the-arts-critic-as-an-endangered-species-126600
Yes, that's true, and the small publishers in particular struggle to get their books reviewed. Like you, I know that they appreciate it when we do.
Looking at our CT Panorama today: four pages devoted to Books. A large review of Garner's diaries, a smaller one of Perlman's latest, a large one of an American non-fiction book, a large one of an Australian noel by Katherine Johnson, and a smaller one of an Australian fantasy novel by Kaaron Warren (a local, multi-award-winning author.) So good Australian content this week – four out of five reviews. So far the new owners of The Canberra Times are doing a decent job of supporting local reviewing again.
Thanks for the link to The Conversation article. I hadn't caught that one – I do support them each year, but I don't click on every email that comes.
Well done to the Canberra Times… the Katherine Johnson one would be Paris Savages, that is an exceptional book and I have high hopes for it in awards shortlists.
But, my word, that is a dour review of Maybe The Horse Will Talk!
Well, yes, it is …

Early Eight-Run Deficit Too Big for Rattlers
Posted About Six Months Ago by Chris Mehring
Luis Verdugo went 3-for-3, drove in five runs, and helped the South Bend Cubs build an 8-0 lead over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium on Friday night. The Rattlers charged back on a pair of homers but fell short by a score of 9-6 in front of a huge crowd.
The Cubs (59-47 overall, 25-15 second half) took a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Verdugo cracked a two-run home run to left with one out against Wisconsin starter Zach Mort. Pablo Aliendo reached on a single with two outs. Then, BJ Murray doubled off the glove of Reidy Mercado in left to knock in Aliendo. Kevin Made capped the inning with an RBI single to left.
The Rattlers (56-49, 20-20) had something going in their half of the first. Darrien Miller was hit by a pitch and Jackson Chourio drew a walk to start the frame. South Bend starter Kohl Franklin stranded both runners as he retired the next three batters in the first.
South Bend added four runs in the top of the fourth inning. Verdugo, who had singled in the second inning, doubled to drive in the first two runs in the inning. Aliendo had an RBI double, Mort walked the next batter to load the bases and that was it for the Wisconsin starter.
Joey Matulovich entered the game and walked Made on four straight pitches before striking out the next two batters to end the inning with South Bend leading 8-0.
Franklin didn't allow a hit through 3-1/3 innings, but the Rattlers put a few base runners on in the fourth. Jeferson Quero reached on a walk and Joe Gray Jr was hit by a pitch. Ben Metzinger got the Timber Rattlers on the board with the team's first hit off Franklin. Metzinger, the 7th round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2022 draft, homered off the pole in left field for his first professional home run.
The Timber Rattlers pulled to within four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning with an RBI single by Zavier Warren.
Verdugo struck again in the top of the seventh inning. Pete Crow-Armstrong doubled and stole third to start the inning. Verdugo, who finished a triple shy of the cycle, collected his fifth RBI of the game with a sacrifice fly to knock in Crow-Armstrong and the Cubs were up 9-4.
Darrien Miller brought the crowd to life with a long, two-run home run to right in the bottom of the seventh, but 9-6 was as close as the Rattlers would get.
The attendance of 6,573 was the first home crowd at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium to go over 6,000 since August 18, 2018. It was the first home attendance to go over 6,500 since June 4, 2016.
Game five of the series is Saturday night. Brady Schanuel (0-1, 4.06) has been named the starting pitcher for Wisconsin. Schanuel will make his first professional start after 99 relief appearances to start his pro career. The Cubs will counter with Richard Gallardo (0-1, 5.23) as their starting pitcher. Game time is 6:40pm.

Man injured in motorcycle crash identified
The N.C. Highway Patrol has identified the man injured in a motorcycle crash Saturday afternoon in Leland.
Twenty-seven year-old Justin Velez of Fayetteville was traveling north on U.S. 17 when he crashed his motorcycle into the back of a car near the U.S. 74-76 split in Leland, Trooper T.D. Wheeler said Sunday.
Velez was alert and conscious when Wheeler arrived at the crash Saturday afternoon around 1 p.m. He was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center for treatment of his injuries, Wheeler said.
None of those injuries was life threatening.
Wheeler said the couple and two children in the car Velez struck were not injured in the crash.
The crash remains under investigation, but speed was a likely factor, Wheeler said. Velez was traveling between 90 and 100 miles per hour at the peak of his ride before hitting the vehicle, Wheeler said.
Velez, who was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, was cited for reckless driving, Wheeler said.

Kew Children's Garden
The Children's Garden is an incredibly ambitious project and will aim to sow the seed of a lifelong passion for plants and the environment for our youngest guests.
With over one million young people expected here at Kew in the next three years we are presented with a unique opportunity.
August 2017 - August 2018
Charity information: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Kew Gardens currently welcomes over 320,000 children each year. Around 80,000 children come on school trips for day-long visits complementing traditional teaching, and another 240,000 visit with their families.
However, our existing outdoor facilities for learning and play were only temporary and are worn, dated and contain little of our core messaging.
Kew's aspiration for expanding its provision of environmental education into the future has strengthened the case for the Children's Garden.
The Children's Garden will provide young children with opportunities to be in contact with nature, and to allow them to explore and play creatively in a natural setting in order to build a level of comfort with natural environments, to encourage a continuing quest for further understanding as they grow up, and to establish a life-long respect for living things.
These are significant basic elements that underpin the mission of Kew.
Attracting families, providing a quality experience that nurtures creative play and love of nature.
» The garden will be split into four key themes. These themes will be used to provide a focus for the types of planting and activities available.
Success will be education opportunities for formal and informal groups; and increased sustainable income through increased visitation, membership, and secondary spend.
The Children's Garden will create a high quality nature-based experience for families and groups with younger children - through facilities for use by schools and education, and spaces for various informal and group activities - inspiring a love of plants and a sense of wonder of nature for young people and families.
The Children's Garden has been developed with close consideration of the existing, high-quality, mature trees within the site which provide part of the living collection.
Where trees are retained, various measures have been employed in the design process to ensure their on-going health and vigour.
Regular updates through reports and digital communications.
Budget - Project Cost: £3,960,611
£549,062 Site preparation Site prepation, groundworks and surface treatments
£428,852 Site services Hard surfacing, soft landscaping and site services
£1,233,241 Bespoke structures Furniture, play elements & bespoke structures/features

£308,908 Project management Project management, estates and external costs
£465,133 Horticulture Horticulture design development, supervision and maintenance
A site for Kew's Children's Garden has been selected in a zone between the existing play areas of 'Treetop Towers/Climbers & Creepers', and Brentford Gate; within a zone currently supporting informal trees (eucalypts and mixed northern hemisphere evergreen and deciduous).
We hope to receive over 385,000 young people a year – ensuring that every visitor to Kew is given the opportunity to be inspired by the world of plants and to learn about Kew's plant scientific work through engaging and fun experiences.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is a global resource for plant and fungal knowledge. We have been at the forefront of plant science and discovery for over 250 years, and have unrivalled expertise and networks in local and global conservation, science and research.

The La Higuera Copper-Iron Property is the result of the first-time consolidation of mining rights in a historical copper-gold mining center where high grade copper sulphide mining supported 11 small smelters and which is located in a prolific I.O.C.G. belt surrounded by excellent infrastructure in a mining friendly jurisdiction. The La Higuera Property covers a historic copper mining district with mining activity dating back to at least the late 18th century; however, there has been limited modern exploration conducted on the property.
The La Higuera Property is 600 km north of Santiago at an elevation of approximately 800 m and is located immediately adjacent to the mining town of La Higuera which is 60 km north of La Serena in Region IV, and 4 km east of the Pan American Highway. Access from the town of La Higuera is by variably maintained dirt/gravel roads.
The mining concessions, consolidated for the first time and totalling of 1,076 hectares, are held by four separate concession holders (down from 1,230 hectares held by six concession holders, as two option agreements were subsequently dropped). Housing is available at the town of La Higuera and it is expected that water supplies can be developed within the area. The main northern Chile power grid passes nearby the town of La Higuera. Supplies can be obtained from Santiago and La Serena. La Serena, Copiapo and other nearby towns, including La Higuera have well trained and experienced miners.
Since the consolidation of the mining rights, Azul has completed a surface rock sampling program, completed geophysical work and a 4,088 metre drill program. An underground sampling and analyses program is underway.
The results of the drilling program advance the conclusions of the geophysical surveys that the central core of the anomaly (the San Antonio Zone), which extends over a length of about 1.5 km and to depths of several hundred metres, likely contains a significant volume of economic magnetite mineralization and that the coincident chargeability anomalies indicate that sulphide mineralization is present together with the magnetite.
LHDD-10 Intersected 14.0 m at 0.46% Cu at shallow depth associated with a strong chargeability anomaly located to the north of the principal San Antonio mineralized zone.
LHDD-11 Intersected 4.1 m at 1.46% Cu and 13.86% Fe, along the western extension of the San Antonio Zone (this intercept is immediately adjacent to the core ground retained by Azul).
LHDD-13 Intersected 24.0 m at 0.47% Cu and 36.26% Fe, including 14.0 m at 0.70% Cu beneath the main San Antonio Zone.
LHRC-03 Intersected several zones of copper and iron mineralization before hole obtained 2 m at 2.38% Cu and stopped in workings at 169 m.
LHRC-04 Intersected 9.0 m of 0.97% Cu and 12.07% Fe, including 7.0 m of 1.21% Cu, along the main San Antonio Zone.
The next phase of drilling will be targeted to intersect the projection of the high-grade copper zone at regular intervals (100 m) beneath the underground workings in the San Antonio Zone and along strike from them. Also, in order to more efficiently drill the deeper zones, a program of underground drilling is planned, which will require the construction of drill bays within the Juan Muñoz Tunnel.


Architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright was honored on the one-half ounce gold medallion released for the third year of the American Arts Commemorative Series. Wright believed in designing structures in harmony with humanity and the environment, which he referred to as organic architecture. During his career, he designed more than 1,000 structures and was recognized by the American Institute of Architects as the greatest American architect of all time.
The obverse design of the medallion carries a profile portrait of the architect with an intense expression on his face. The reverse design carries an image of one of his most famous structures, Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Following the architect's desire to place the inhabitants in a natural setting, the building was constructed over a 30-foot waterfall.
The inscriptions on the obverse include "United States of America", "Frank Lloyd Wright", and "1982". The reverse includes "American Arts Commemorative Series" and "One Ounce Gold". Following changes mandated by the Treasury Department, beginning this year the inscriptions included the name of the issuing authority and the precious metal weight, which had not appeared on earlier issues. The pieces also saw the addition of denticles and a reeded edge.
The mintage of the Frank Lloyd Wright American Arts Gold Medallions was 360,000 pieces, with total sales reaching 348,305. The relatively higher sales for the year were not a result of increased demand, but rather a change in the distribution procedures. A private firm J. Aron & Company had committed to minimum purchase guarantees in order to secure the rights for distribution. Ultimately, they were only able to sell about 15% of the medallions to the public, with the balance rumored to have been melted.

Late singer's manager sued for violating non-disclosure agreement
On Behalf of Law Offices of Alice A. Salvo | Dec 29, 2016 | Estate Planning |
One of the main reasons why residents of Woodland Hills are encouraged to see to their estate planning before it is too late is because if they want to keep their families' secrets private, proper planning allows them to do so. Avoiding probate may also mean avoiding having the information related to an estate becoming public record. Even further, provisions such as non-disclosure agreements may secure a family's privacy by compelling parties to an estate to not divulge information about it. If those parties violate those agreements, the estate may then choose to pursue legal action.
Such action was recently sought by the estate of a late Hispanic singer in order to secure injunctive relief from one of the woman's former associates. The defendant, who served as the singer's manager, is alleged to have written a book about the woman that revealed secrets that estate representatives claim he agreed not to share by signing a non-disclosure agreement shortly after her death. That book will serve as the basis from an upcoming television special to be aired by Univision. While a California judge recently issued a temporary restraining order along with a preliminary injunction against the defendant, the series will still air as planned.
The unauthorized disclosure of protected information which may almost assuredly arise from this television series could potentially entitle the estate to significant damages. Such is the value the some may assign to an estate's property (both tangible and intellectual) and the damage done in releasing it. Should one feel as though others are seeking to profit off an estate despite any documented or perceived promises not to do so, he or she may wish to consult with an attorney to see what options may be available to halt such actions.

Q: Target Undefined When Right Clicking In Firefox With Context Menu I am using code to create a custom context menu. Its working however there is an issue in Firefox. When right clicking on either a Select box/dropdown list or a button it gives me the following error in Firefox:
TypeError: this.target is undefined
[Break On This Error]   Filtered chrome url chrome://browser/content/nsContextMenu.js
nsContextMenu.js (line 162)
TypeError: gContextMenu is null

The following code works in Chrome and Internet Explorer but gives an error in Firefox:
$(document).on("contextmenu",function(e){
        if($(e.target).prop("tagName")=="A"){
         //do something
        }
});

Note that this error only happens in Firefox so far with the following tags when right clicking on them.
<select>
<button>
<input type='checkbox'>

Text boxes work fine however.
Edit: Ok it seems even with no code inside "contextmenu" function it still gives the error.
Update: This appears to be a Firebug issue in Firefox as no erros appear using Firefox's Developer tools javascript console.

A: This issue can be solved by disabling Firebug. It is a firebug related issue and not a Firefox bug in itself.

A: Try using tag name with DOM object like this e.target.tagName
$(document).on("contextmenu",function(e){
        if(e.target.tagName =="A"){
         //do something
        }
});

Yumi Fuzuki
A young poet who continues to garner attention
A desire to spin words that blend in with the scenery
What image comes to mind when you hear the word "poetry?" Perhaps reading aloud in class. Or perhaps a literary work in which to immerse yourself. At any rate, many people's image is that it is "stiff."
With her first poetry anthology, Tekisetsu na sekai no tekisetsu narazaru watashi (Shisosha), Fuzuki became the youngest person ever at 18 to win the Nakahara Chuya Prize, a gateway to success for modern poets.
Stating "I would like to engage poems and words as more familiar presences," Yumi Fuzuki is an up-and-coming young poet who has already been spectacularly prolific, including becoming the youngest person ever to win the Modern Poetry Notebook Award and the Nakahara Chuya Prize while still in high school. In addition to so-called "poet-like" activities such as contributing poems and book reviews to literary magazines and participating in public readings, Fuzuki doesn't stop at print media. She also writes for a weekly FM radio program and collaborates with a tights brand to produce tights with her poems printed on them.
Amongst these, perhaps the poem of Fuzuki's which the most people have set eyes on is the one she wrote last year as song lyrics for the NHK National School Music Contest (N-Con), when she was given the major honor to be the lyricist for the high school student section's set piece song, Koko ni iru. "High school students from throughout Japan participating the N-Con sung the lyrics I wrote, and there is no comparison to the number of people who have been so kind as to read my anthologies. Still, I've felt that people were able to experience the words more closely through the filter of music."
In the background of Fuzuki's efforts to help more people see the beauty of poetry, memories of having nowhere to go when she first started writing poetry fade in and out. When in elementary school, in the same way her friends enjoyed dance and playing soccer, Fuzuki was passionate about spinning words. Due to people's preconceived notion that literature is difficult, however, Fuzuki received little praise or encouragement for this idiosyncrasy. "Although there are people who grasp poetry from a literary perspective, I began in elementary school by reading poetry written by a high school student and attempting to imitate what I read. That's why, to me, poetry and words are very familiar things. As much as possible, I want my own poems, too, to be words that will blend in with the scenery of the everyday."
In order to probe new possibilities for poetry, Fuzuki is also active at Waseda University. Her membership in the Tanka-kai student club is one example. Although Fuzuki states frankly and with a bitter smile that tanka, a traditional form of Japanese poetry, are more difficult than ordinary poems, she says that she has become better at managing the rhythm and number of syllables in words when revising her poems. Fuzuki has also collaborated with the Sen-i Kenkyu-kai to open an exhibition displaying poems and shirts inspired by her poetry. "Although I've collaborated in the making of pictures and paintings before, it was an extremely novel and fresh experience to make words into three-dimensional objects by turning poems into shirts." Going forward, Fuzuki says she would like to explore ways to experience poetry anew, such as through poetry workshop exhibitions.
Finally, we asked Fuzuki how to enjoy poetry for students who aren't familiar with it. "For one's first time coming into contact with poetry, I'd have to recommend a public reading. I encourage you to just freely enjoy the sounds and images without worrying about the meaning of the words. I hope that my poems serve as a starting point for people to find poems and words which are irreplaceable to themselves. If my poems serve as a "gateway" to that kind of experience, than I'm happy."
A public reading of Rosoku no hono ga sasayaku kotoba (Keiso Shobo) held in June of last year at Waseda University. Fuzuki appeared alongside well-known poets and writers such as Shuntaro Tanikawa.
Kotoba no shirts-ten, an exhibit conducted by Yumi Fuzuki and the Sen-i Kenkyu-kai.
With fellow members of the Tanka-kai.
Originally from Hokkaido, Yumi Fuzuki graduated from Hokkaido Sapporo Asahigaoka Senior High School. After her first poem anthology won the Nakahara Chuya Prize, Fuzuki published her second anthology, Yane yori mo fukabuka to (Shisosha) last year. She chose the pen name of Yumi Fuzuki (文月悠光) because she was born in July ("文月" – the seventh month of the lunar calendar) and she likes the light ("光") of the moon.

"Tangled" is a romantic thriller starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Shawn Hatosy. This hip and edgy American film was released in Portugal in November 2001. It follows the tangled web of emotions experienced by three college students in a complicated love triangle. Cook stars as Jenny, who steps into her college life as an innocent tease. Hatosy plays the role of David, her quiet male buddy who is secretly obsessed with her. Rhys Meyers stars as Alan, his handsome but reckless friend who also has his sights on Jenny.
Written by Jeffrey Lieber, the "Tangled" story is told in the flashback memories of David, who is hospitalized after he is found bruised and beaten on a deserted backroad. As the detectives try to piece things together, various twists slowly reveal key events from the past.
"Tangled" was filmed in Toronto, Canada for Myriad Pictures. Jay Lowi directed the film, and the runtime is 100 minutes. The movie is rated R for profanity, sexuality and violence.
