Q: Resuse F# Active Pattern result In the following code I have to reuse the Active Pattern result three times for each iteration. i.e.
match tree.Parent, postion with

I found out that I could save the Active Pattern result. i.e.
let pos = ((|Root|Nil|Single|First|Inner|Last|Unknown|) (tree.Parent, position))

What I could not figure out was if the Active Pattern result can be used in a match statement. i.e.
match pos with
| ??? -> printf "("

The question is can the saved active pattern result be used in a match statement?
If so, how? If not, need to explain it so that it logicaly makes sense.
Examples of possibly why not. i.e. Language Specification, syntactic sugar,
should not have allowed active pattern result to be bound, ExprItems vs. PatItems
I looked in the The F# 2.0 Language Specification (April 2010)
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/fsharp/manual/spec.html#_Toc270597500
But I didn't recognize anything that would confirm an answer.
EDIT
If I change the code to
    let pos = (|Root|Nil|Single|First|Inner|Last|Unknown|) (tree.Parent, position)
    match pos with
    | Choice1Of7 (tree.Parent, position) -> printf "("
    | _    -> ()

I get the following error for (tree.Parent, position) after Choice1Of7:
This expression was expected to have type     unit     but here has type     'a * 'b
As Brian suggested it should be
    match pos with
    | Choice1Of7 () -> printf "("
    | _    -> ()

End EDIT
Note: The code I tried this in follows, but I did find a better algorithm for what it sovles.

A: It is not particularly elegant, but you can use the underlying discriminated union that is used to represent active patterns. The result of active pattern with N options is represented using a type Choice<'T1, .., 'Tn> which has members Choice1OfN .. ChoiceNOfN.
Here is a simpler example with just three cases:
let (|Pos|Neg|Zero|) n =
  if n < 0 then Neg (-n)
  elif n = 0 then Zero
  else Pos n

let res = (|Pos|Neg|Zero|) 10

match res with
| Choice1Of3 n -> sprintf "pos %d" n
| Choice2Of3 n -> sprintf "neg %d" n
| Choice3Of3 () -> "zero"

In practice, I probably wouldn't use this approach, but I'd define a custom discriminated union instead:
type Number = Pos of int | Neg of int | Zero

let convertNumber n =
  if n < 0 then Neg (-n)
  elif n = 0 then Zero
  else Pos n

let res = convertNumber 10

match res with
| Pos n -> sprintf "pos %d" n
| Neg n -> sprintf "neg %d" n
| Zero -> "zero"

This requires explicit definition of a discriminated union, but it makes the code more readable.

Hot Coastal nights explode with fiesta sounds — fast, enticing rhythms and the whistling, swirling, and crackling of a thousand fireworks! Also, distinctively percussive (and highly virtuostic) marimba stylings from Mexico's isthmus — marimba as it is played nowhere else!
"Field recordings from Mexican festivals that make you feel you're right there, sipping Dos Equis and whooping it up." – Jay Walljasper, UTNE READER, January 1989.
"The music abounds with the fiesta spirit of the village on this upbeat cassette." – Francine Rota, EAST WEST, August 1988.
The Earth Series cassettes were recorded using a single omni-directional Sony microphone positioned so as to obtain the highest quality natural mix in the music. All of the material was recorded in "real life" circumstances under conditions far from optimal for recording. Yet there is an oustandingly good sound-to-noise ratio on each of these tapes. HUMMING BIRD EARTH SERIES is releasing this music because of its uniqueness and general unavailability on the commercial market. The cassettes are "real time" dubs from metal masters and utilize type "B" Dolby noise reduction to ensure that everything originally recorded can be optimally heard by the listener.

Provoking Peace
by Mike VanOuse, reply@vanouse.com
On Friday, 29 May, 2015, the "Freedom of Speech Rally, Round
2," event was held in Phoenix, AZ, and the counter-protest that accompanied it. The event included a "Draw the Prophet Mohammed" contest in response to the one held in Garland, TX, earlier in the month.
News images of counter protestors included signs brandished phrases like, "Love thy Neighbor" and "Provoke Peace."
One has to wonder what exactly they meant by, "Provoke Peace." The sign-bearers appear to be of the ilk whose spectrum of intellect reaches to the breadth of, "Mean People Suck," and, "Can't We All Just Get Along?"
They were imploring, "Don't Provoke Violence."
"WWJD?" A cursory overview of the New Testament will answer that.
The Prince of Peace came here to establish peace between God and man, by dying for the sins of the entire World, satisfying the requirement of the Law. How did He accomplish that?
Everywhere He went, and everything He did intentionally provoked the religious extremists of His day to anger. When they would castigate Him for violating the Sabbath, He didn't cower and apologize. He ripped right back by pointing out their hypocrisy, snubbing their presumed authority, causing the antipathy to escalate.
That was His goal: to make them so irate that it would drive them to kill Him. Mission accomplished. That's not the answer to "WWJD?" It's the answer to, "What Did Jesus Do?" That's how He established peace.
Peace is not merely the absence of violence. Living under the threat of violence for being politically incorrect is not peace. It's oppression. Anyone who's ever been bullied knows that it's not a peaceful existence. The absence of peace continues as long as the bullying is allowed. Sometimes, in order to achieve peace, the tension has to be increased until it reaches a snapping point. The peace settles afterward.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the Peacemakers," and so they are. But the title "Peacemaker" implies that someone has to grow the nards to step into a situation where there is no peace, and instill it - - by force if necessary. That's why Colonel Colt found it a fitting moniker for his famed six-gun which tamed the Wild West.
After establishing that the purpose of government is to secure the God-given rights of individuals, the Declaration of Independence goes on to say:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it… [A]ll experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Followers of Islam advocate official, universal application of Sharia Law as an expression of their freedom of religion. But it is not an expression of religion. It is a "form of government" that is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. Islam translates to "submit," and the object is to get the entire world to submit to Sharia Law. Or in other words, to, "reduce [us] to absolute Despotism."
Pamela Geller pointed out after various Islamic voices called for her being tried by a Sharia Court, that she's not a Muslim. She's a Jew. The Catholics haven't called for excommunicating her for her divorce, because she's not Catholic. Their canonical law doesn't apply to her. And the Methodists don't get upset that she doesn't pay tithes to them, because she's not a Methodist. There hasn't been any outcry against her from the Buddhist or Mormon Temples either.
But the Muslims want to hold her accountable to their Law because they insist that Sharia Law applies to everyone. That's not religion. That's a tyrannical form of government, and our founding document declares that it is not only our right, but our duty to throw it off. Ms Geller rightly asserts that when we acquiesce to their demands, we impose Sharia Law upon ourselves voluntarily.
Those who are, "disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable," would cower in fear of extremists rather than muster the spine to defy. How does that resonate with, "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave?" Imposition of Sharia — voluntarily or otherwise — is insufferable evil.
There is no "peace" in "appease."
Returning to authentic religion, after Peter professed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Jesus said, "[U]pon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Many perceive that statement as meaning that the church will survive the attacks of hell. But "gates" don't attack. They're a defensive edifice, not an offensive maneuver. Converse to the perception, Jesus was saying that the gates of hell could not withstand the assault of the church.
So Pamela Geller held her "Draw Muhammad" cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, and no one would have heard about it were it not for two Muslims who drove down to Texas from Phoenix to execute Sharia dictates on the
infidels by shooting 'em up. It didn't work out as planned.
Last Friday's event in Phoenix, was staged immediately outside the Mosque where the Jihadi assailants received their indoctrination. Or in other words, the event organizer, Jon Ritzheimer, took the fight straight to the gates of hell. I'm not saying Mr. Ritzheimer is a man of God – I know nothing of the man.
I'm saying his tack was righteous.
Watching the events as they unfolded in Phoenix, it was evident that the event attracted some loons. There were people wearing Nazi insignia or brandishing vulgar statements. Scavengers are to be expected when the smell
of blood is in the air. But the underlying purpose of the event was exactly what its opponents called for: to provoke peace.
Stop with the threats, stop with the intimidation, come out into the open and let's get it over with so that peace can resume. Break the tension and peace ensues.
News interviews with local residents during the Phoenix event highlighted how fear was the predominant response. Well duh: You live within two blocks of a mosque that has produced terrorists. You're alright with that. But you suddenly get frightened when freedom-loving Americans congregate to stand up to them? Someone's thinking is askew.
If you're not American enough to resist wannabe despots, "Be afraid — be very afraid."
On April 6, 2015, American Thinker published an excellent article titled, "PsyWar: Militant Islam's Worst Enemy," By William A. Levinson, which illustrated what "'militant Islam' fears most: military-grade psychological warfare," in the form of persuasive anti-Islamic artwork.
We are currently engaged in a war on terror. And the purveyors of terror are terrified by innocuous cartoons. What pathetic cowards.
Did I mention that I'm a Cartoonist?

DKE Makes History
By wpengine | January 22, 2003
The City of Ithaca named the Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) fraternity house a historical landmark last Wednesday.
As the last remaining fraternity house built in the Romanesque revival style, the building serves as a reminder of a past era, according to Don Weadon '67, DKE alumni association chairperson.
Erected in 1893, the DKE building was designed by locally renowned architect William H. Miller, the first student of the College of Architecture, Art and Planning.
The building also functions as a historical memorial for Americans who fell in the Spanish-American War, Weadon said.
In 1899, Governor Theodore Roosevelt planted two Norway spruce trees on the grounds of the building in memory of his fallen comrade, Clifton Beckwith Brown 1900. Brown was the first Cornellian to die serving in war, according to Weadon.
"The spruce trees that stand today are the only memorial in Ithaca for Americans who fell in the Spanish-American War," Weadon noted.
"The trees also serve as a memorial for Cornell students who went out to distinguish themselves in the government and military during the war," he added.
"[The alumni association] is in favor of maintaining the building in the unique Victorian style to preserve the historical beauty of our community," Weadon said.
Two years ago, Thomas Borthwick '51 recreated the memorial library in 1920s fashion, according to DKE president Wesley Card '03.
"Borthwick donated 20 pieces of handmade furniture that he crafted himself," Card said.
The furniture included tables, lamps, chairs and carpets that complemented the building's interior decor of stained-glass windows and paneled libraries, according to Card.
"We know how historically important our house is and we wanted the Ithaca community to acknowledge [the building] by recognizing the house as a local historical landmark," said Kento Yasuhara '04, DKE historian.
The DKE building had already been listed under both the state and national registers of historical places for several years when the official petition for local landmark designation was filed under the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Ordinance last October, according to Adam Schaye J.D. '99, whose law firm represented DKE in the public hearings.
Shortly after the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously in favor of designating the DKE house a local landmark in December, the Planning and Development Board and the Common Council ratified the petition, according to Weadon.
"The federal recognition facilitated the application process because it was clear that the building was already qualified for historical recognition," Schaye said.

Off-Ice Contributor Recognized
By wpengine January 23, 2003
During his four-year career at Cornell, men's hockey player Sam Paolini has endeared himself to Red fans with his game-breaking goals and gritty play. However, the senior forward's presence has been felt not only on the ice but also in the City of Ithaca, where he has volunteered an enormous amount of time and effort to helping those less fortunate. In honor of his work, the Hockey Humanitarian Foundation Award selected Paolini as one of the five finalists for this year's award last week. The award is presented to an NCAA hockey player who has demonstrated a commitment to excelling in the classroom and has made significant contributions to his or her community. "I'm very honored. It's a surprise," Paolini said. "I knew I was being nominated, but it's a surprise knowing that I'm one of the final five." From the moment he stepped onto the Cornell campus, Paolini has engaged himself in community activities. Over the past several years, he has served as a volunteer referee for the Ithaca Youth Hockey Association and he has been a guest speaker at local schools. He and his teammates have also raised money for the Ithaca downtown food bank, Loaves and Fishes. However, his two greatest contributions may be the programs which he initiated — Power Play for Prevention and Special Population Skate. The Power Play for Prevention program, which Paolini helped set up, will raise funds for the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance throughout the 2002-03 season. For every goal that the Red scores this season with the man-advantage, the Tompkins Trust Company will donate $100 to the cause. "With the Breast Cancer Alliance, I wanted younger women and women in general to be more aware of breast cancer in Ithaca," Paolini said. For Paolini, though, the Special Population Skate, which gives handicapped children the opportunity to skate with members of the Red hockey team, is his favorite activity. "Probably the Special Population Skate is the most special to me because it happens every weekend. It's something where I can directly affect it and directly affect people," he said. "It started from nothing and slowly built its way up to something. It was the first one I did here too, so I hold that close to me." After all his hard work, what Paolini finds most gratifying is the response he receives from those he has touched in the community. "Seeing the smiles on the kids' faces on Sundays always makes me happy. And to see just random people come up me after games, or at school, on the street, and commend me or the work, and tell me how important the work I do for the community is, how they've been directly affected by the work I've done, if they have a friend or relative who's been affected by breast cancer. Just the thanks — it helps me know that what I'm doing is worthwhile," he said. Paolini's work and dedication has not been lost on his coach, who views the senior as an example to everyone on the Cornell campus. "He's a role model not only for guys on our team, but he's a role model for other athletes on campus, he's a role model for parents who live in town who don't do anything in Ithaca," head coach Mike Schafer '86 said. "The nice part is that Sam has initiated everything that he's done. He's initiated the projects that he's got going right now. It should be a part of every athlete to give back to the community. Sam's very self-motivated, and he deserves the nomination into the top five and he deserves the award. The people that have won have been the people who have benefited from his involvement." While Paolini is receiving attention for his contributions, he is quick to credit his parents, Sam and Diane, for instilling the values in him. "My mom and dad have always taught me that we're lucky. There are some people who don't have the fortunes that we do, and to be thankful for everything that we have. We have a responsibility to help people who don't have as much as we do. It's just something that they've always instilled in me since I was little," Paolini said. "It's going back to the Golden Rule, 'Treat people the way you want to be treated.'" The other four finalists — John Flint (Saint Michael's College), Chandra Gunn (Northeastern), Bryan Isola (Neumann College), Deanna McDevitt (Yale) — along with Paolini, however, will have to wait until April 11 for the winner to be announced at the NCAA Frozen Four Festivities in Buffalo, N.Y.

Keep Rose Out
For fans that dread the six-month winter hiatus, this baseball off-season has certainly filled the void. The break-up of Tom and Greg, the Puerto Rico Expos, the elimination of diapers in the clubhouse, shorter games — the list goes on. Perhaps the most interesting development since Game Seven has been the potential admission of guilt by Pete Rose. Rose's fame does not lie in the fact that he is the league's all-time hits leader, but rather due to his notoriously shady dealings while managing the Cincinnati Reds that led to his lifetime ban from baseball. No doubt, ask someone on the street and he is more likely to link Pete with gambling than with hitting. Despite the fact that officials currently hold in their gloves betting slips with Rose's handwriting and thumbprint on them, Rose has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. There are numerous phone calls made between Rose, his gambling friend, and gambling contacts just prior to game time, but he says they were harmless. There are also bank records, an allegation that Rose ran up a tab of half a million dollars in unpaid dues to a pair of New York City bookies, 412 baseball wagers over a span of three months, and a signed document between A. Bartlett Giamatti, the baseball commissioner in 1989, and Rose detailing Giamatti's factual basis for Rose's lifetime ban. Despite that John Hancock, he maintains his innocence. Apparently, however, that 13-year refutation may be put to rest in the next few months, according to a report in yesterday's Newsday. A close friend of Rose, who has met several times with commissioner Bud Selig over the past two months to discuss reinstatement, told the newspaper that he is willing to admit he bet on baseball. His admission would be the first of three steps Selig has outlined in negotiations that would lead to his reinstatement. Following admission, Rose must apologize and serve probation for "six to eight months," according to a high-ranking baseball official. Supposedly, his admission could come as early as spring training, which would allow enough time for him to be placed on the 2004 Hall of Fame ballot. The executives responsible for selecting the Cooperstown candidates ultimately decide who appears on the ballot, but purportedly are merely waiting for reinstatement to include his name. I'm willing to bet that Pete wants back in baseball to get his grubby paws in more gambling. Jim Kaat, Rose's pitching coach in 1985, said that he and his manager shared a love for betting and would do so together at the racetrack. For Kaat, however, it was a hobby. For Rose, according to Kaat, "there was probably a bit of an addiction there, a compulsion that I didn't have that he did." Old habits are hard to break. Rose is also hoping that with reinstatement will come a career in the sport. Honestly, though, what team would actually hire a man that for 13 years denied that he gambled in the face of evidence that would have committed even "money-bags" Simpson? And what about the 14 other guys who were banned from baseball for gambling? Are they still out or are they just not in because they do not have as impressive stats as Rose? For all those who believe that Rose should be reinstated if he admits he did it, do you think that if murderers on trial admitted they did it and said they were sorry that they should be allowed back into the very domain where they committed the crime in the first place? A stretch, perhaps, but no one would agree to setting murderers free, so how is that different from Rose's situation? I will end with this comment Rose gave in response to being questioned if he got a thrill from gambling: "To be honest with you, I couldn't watch it if I didn't bet on it." Whenever Rose was in the dugout or in the stadium, he was watching, so his own statement indicates he was betting too. If Rose does admit fault, he will be reinstated. Selig had a rough 2002 and needs a popularity boost. So, instead of upholding the rules and maintaining the holiness of baseball, the front office will bow to the public and give it an official Hall of Famer. Attendance is declining, isn't it?

(CNS): Police have begun an investigation into how a little girl, who was approaching her second birthday, drowned on Friday evening off the coast of East End. The toddler, who was reported missing around 6pm yesterday, was found along the shoreline by a family member before the police arrived. She was taken to hospital in an ambulance but was pronounced dead on arrival. Police said they had responded to the missing person report at an address on Austin Connolly Drive and it is understood the local family are East End residents.
This tragic incident is the second water related death less than one week into the New Year. On Thursday afternoon a visitor from the United States drowned during a snorkelling trip off Seven Mile Beach.
So heartbreaking! Praying for her parents and family.
Horrible, horrible loss and sincere condolences to the family and to the family member who found her. Words fail me.
For the future, I just read a story somewhere about another incident of a child drowning in the US, and the advice was that if there is water anywhere in the vicinity that that be the first place to check for a missing child.
This is extremely sad for this family and my heart goes out to them, especially to the parents.
Oh so sad to hear. Prayers for the family and sincere condolences at this very difficult time.
Agreed. Faith in these times is challenging but solace can be found in accepting this part of our loving God's will for us all.
Rubbish. Gods will isn't for a toddler to drown. Don't believe in religion and you'll be a better person.
I think you mean ' My Loving God ' . Don't assume all of us bash a bible on Sunday.
Truly sorrowful. I don't want to hear political diatribes. It's no political pundit's fault. It's a hurtful thing. Prayers for the little girl; I hope they make a difference.

They need accounting information to get the efficiency of the policy they formulate and to plan and control the resources of the business.
They need accounting information to enable them decide how secure their job is and the ability of the business to pay good salaries and provide good welfare facilities.
They are interested in the affairs of the company. They want to know what the organization owns (assets), and what it owes (liability). They are also in profits made by the organization which guarantees a dividend at the end of the financial year.
These are customers that sell things on credit to the organization. They use accounting information to determine if the organization has the potential to redeem the payment on maturity.
They make use of accounting information in other for them to fix their own prices to fix their own prices and determine their position in the market.
They help investors and potential investors to evaluate investments in a particular business. Accounting information assists in the selection of appropriate investments for their clients.
Profits determine the tax payable by the company and its employees.
Government uses accounting information to keep the statistics of the economic development to discover the rate of growth of the national economy within a specific period of time.


I've decided to open this page up a bit to include several guest beers and their packaging.
I started collecting beer cans in the early seventies and own some very rare examples. I also kept crown caps, beer mats and various celebration ales which remain unopened!
Most of the brands I collected are now extinct which probably makes them more interesting.
Whilst not being a huge 'Americana' fan I did enjoy finding odd imports from the USA when the market hadn't arrived. Names such as Schlitz and Pabst intrigued me and I remember enjoying those trophy beers.
I love the really obscure brands of the time such as Maccabee from Israel and Tsingtao a Chinese brew. Skol 'continental' lager had been around since the 1960's but became the teen choice of tipple in the 70's. Suddenly, Skol Special Strength was launched raising the alcohol level from 3.5% to 5.00% with the slogan "Steel yourself." A whole consignment of export strength Skol was cancelled when the Shah of Iran fled his country and strict Islamic rule followed. See, these silly cans carry big history with them.
You were once encouraged to "follow the bear" and drink Hofmeister lager. Tim Rigby's comment was "mit the urine of a bear ja?"…. yes probably. The Birmingham Brewery Davenports was famous for it's home delivery service – " Beer at home means Davenports" and Top Brew Deluxe was a real cracker.
In the 1970's, all Shipstone's pubs in the Nottingham area sold Alpine Ayingerbrau lager which was brewed under licence and never tasted very nice apart from bottled 'Prinz' lager which I suspect was imported.
Ind Coope's Long Life represented beer on the move; in your picnic hamper, at the test match or plucked from an outer stored somewhere below deck in your power boat. It wasn't bad actually.
Then we come to Double Diamond. If you didn't drink regional brews you chose this from a keg during pub time and off the supermarket shelf for home consumption. It's hard to recall what it tasted like; it was just sort of 'there' and in the good old tradition of all beer – you simply rented it! I never felt it 'Works wonders' as the ads claimed nor did I join the 'Red Revolution' associated with Watney's Red Barrel.
Now the strange stuff, 1980, Saturday night, BBC1, big cowboy hats, shoulder pads – yes it's Dallas. I never watched it but I bought J.R. Ewing beer and kept the can.
Next when is a beer can not a can? Answer, when it's plastic. The only one I own was produced by the now extinct Home Ales Brewery of Nottingham. There can be nothing worse than drinking terrible beer from plastic.
This brew is the only one I've ever spat out and poured down the sink.

Title: Myanmar economic reform
Date: 28 November, 2013
Associate Professor Sean Turnell spoke to Radio National Breakfast about Myanmar's economic future, in light of Aung San Suu Kyi's first visit to Australia.
Listen to the conversation here
Associate Professor Sean Turnell was quoted in an article in the Straits Times
Publication: Asia One
Title: Death knell for Thailand's Dawei project?
Associate Professor Sean Turnell was quoted in an article in the Straits Times, talking about the future of Thailand's Dawei project: Death knell for Thailand's Dawei project?
Excerpt: Professor Sean Turnell of Australia's Macquarie University, a specialist on Myanmar's economy, wrote in an e-mail: "The Dawei project is a dead man walking."
"No one except the Thai government really wants it."
He added that it offered little more than rent payments to Myanmar. "These were of interest to Myanmar's old rent-seeking military regime, but are not so attractive to a government trying to deliver real transformational growth and employment."
Associate Professor Sean Turnell provided comment to the Myanmar Times
Publication: Myanmar Times
Title: World Bank revises GDP growth to 6.8%
Date: 13 October, 2013
Author: Philip Heijmans and Aye Thidar Kyaw
Excerpt: Sean Turnell, an expert in Myanmar's economy at Australia's Macquarie University, said the current inflation undermines the nation's competitiveness as the misallocation of resources through arbitrary changes in price relativities put a dent in the real purchasing power of money, especially among those on fixed or low-wage incomes.
"The World Bank report sounds plausible in terms of a representative basket of consumer goods," he said by email. "Prices in other areas, especially with respect to real estate, have risen much faster and higher of course," he said.
On the other hand, the current US dollar exchange rate of K970 seems an "appropriate ballpark" that is not too low to invite inflation.
"It gives a boost to the competitiveness of Myanmar's exports and import substitutes, while at the same time making the country a more attractive location for foreign investment," he said.
For the moment there is probably not a lot the central bank could do about surging property prices, he said.


Illustrated cover of a brochure promoting a chapter of the KKK circa 1916.
Set against the southern backdrop of Marietta, Ga., Leo Frank, a Jewish man, was accused of murdering Mary Phagan, a young white woman who worked with him in a pencil factory. The prosecution's arguments hinged on the testimony of a black janitor at the factory named James Conley. Conley said that Frank had killed Phagan and told Conley to dispose of the body. He also said that Frank had planted notes by the body blaming a black person for the crime.
Crowds inside of the courtrooms continually hurled Jewish insults during the proceedings, underlining the hatred that resonated during that era. The white supremacist group the Klu Klux Klan even formed the Knights of Mary Phagan in response.
Despite forensic evidence pointing to Frank's innocence, he was nonetheless convicted to death by hanging. As a result of the shaky evidence, the governor of Georgia commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. Subsequently, an angry mob kidnapped Frank from jail with little resistance and killed him by lynching.
In 1986, the Georgia State Board of Paroles pardoned Frank.


Sean Ono Lennon and James McCartney took a selfie together leading to speculation that the two musicians might be making music together.
James McCartney and Sean Ono Lennon got together recently and took a surprising selfie. The image showed the amazing likeness the two men share with their famous Beatles dads. Sean posted the image of their selfie to Instagram on Monday where they were applauded for their image by his followers.
What makes it really surprising is that both sons are musicians, just like their dads, the late John Lennon and the very much still alive Paul McCartney. It is not clear whether Sean and James are working on making some music together, or are just good friends, but wouldn't it be great if they did?
As reported by the Mirror Online, when Sean posted the selfie to Instagram, he captioned the image "Peekaboo…" James can be seen to be holding a guitar in the photo, which is included here.
Their likeness to John Lennon and Paul McCartney is certainly striking.
That isn't all the news relating to the Beatles that is hitting the headlines these days. It seems the 1960s and 1970s band are still alive in people's hearts and minds. Continue reading below. Oh, and here's another image of Sean, posing with a guitar.
Keeping with Beatles-related news, it was recently reported that a guitar, played by George Harrison at the Beatles' last session in The Cavern Club in Liverpool in 1963, is up for auction this coming September.
Harrison had sent his normal guitar for repair and the store owner lent him the Maton Mastersound MS-500 as a loaner. Harrison enjoyed the instrument so much that he continued to play it in sessions and studio recordings. The guitar is expected to fetch somewhere between £300,000 to £400,000 when it is sold on auction.
NME reports that fans have the opportunity to buy cars, formerly owned by Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
Both cars will be sold at auction in the US on 1 September. McCartney's vehicle of choice was a 1965 Mini Cooper S DeVille, while Lennon last drove a 1979 Mercedes E300 estate car prior to his untimely death. This gives a whole new meaning to the lyrics "Baby you can drive my car."
It turns out Brian Epstein, the band's manager, had ordered four of the Mini Coopers, one for each band member. Harrison's wife still owns his Mini, while Ringo Starr's Mini was sold to Geri Halliwell for £102,300. It is unknown what happened to Lennon's Mini.
As reported recently, Paul McCartney made a come-back recently at The Cavern Club on a recent revisit to his hometown of Liverpool.
McCartney played to a packed club of adoring fans, but there was a small incident. Paul had insisted that no mobile phones be used during the concert, as they distracted him from his playing. He had to stop at one stage to admonish the crowd to please put away their phones.

My Great-Great-Aunt Dean: The Story of A Strong Woman
Posted on February 6, 2017 by Amy
Having completed the story of my great-great-uncle S.J. Katzenstein and his family, I am now going to turn to my great-grandmother's sister, Brendina, who was the third child of Gerson Katzenstein and Eva Goldschmidt and just three years old when the family immigrated to the US.[1] I have been looking forward to writing about Brendina because my father knew her (he refers to her as Aunt Dean, which is how she was known in the family), and he knew some of her children and her granddaughter. He has been able to bring them to life for me in a way that has not been possible with so many of my other ancestors and their families.
As I wrote previously, Brendina was married to Jacob Schlesinger, a butcher who had, like Brendina, emigrated from Germany with his family. Brendina and Jacob had five children: Heloise (1874), Solomon Joseph (known as Joe, born 1875), Alfred (1879), Sidney (1880), and Aimee (1887). As of 1900, they were all still living together in in Philadelphia, and Jacob listed his occupation on the 1900 census as a meat salesman. Their oldest son, Solomon Joseph, was a manager of a laundry, and Alfred was managing a newspaper. Sidney was working as a clerk in a clothing store. The two daughters, Heloise and Aimee, were not employed.

Year: 1900; Census Place: Philadelphia Ward 20, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Roll: 1463; Enumeration District: 0421; FHL microfilm: 1241462
Ten years later, all five children were still living at home, ranging in age from 23 to 35. Jacob had retired, but the three sons were all employed as was the younger daughter, Aimee. Joseph was working as a salesman in a department store as was Sidney, and Alfred and Aimee were both working in advertising—Alfred as a manager, Aimee as a clerk. Heloise was not working outside the home.

Year: 1910; Census Place: Philadelphia Ward 37, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Roll: T624_1407; Page: 10A; Enumeration District: 0912; FHL microfilm: 1375420
The years between 1910 and 1920 were eventful years for the Schlesinger family, some joyful, some quite tragic.
In 1911 Sidney Schlesinger was the first of the Schlesinger children to marry; he married Anna Levis. My father remembers her fondly as his cousin Nan, as she was called. Nan was the daughter of William R. Levis and Caroline Bopp. Her father William, a plumber and son of a bricklayer, was born on December 25, 1860, in Philadelphia. He married Caroline Bopp, daughter of Moritz Bopp, a liquor dealer, on December 25, 1882, in a Methodist church in Philadelphia. Nan was born May 19, 1886, in Philadelphia. Sadly, Nan's father died on March 15, 1898. He was only 37 years old and died from heart disease. Nan was only eleven years old.

Before marrying Sidney in 1911, Nan had been living with her mother, her uncle, and her grandfather Moritz Bopp. She was working as a stenographer in a bolt factory where her uncle attended the furnace. Nan was 25 when she married Sidney; he was 31. Sidney and Nan had a daughter Jane born on May 13, 1913, in Philadelphia.
Just a few months before Jane was born, the family suffered a loss on February 23, 1913, when Jacob Schlesinger died a few weeks before his seventieth birthday; he died from cerebral softening and myocarditis. He was buried at Adath Jeshurun cemetery in Philadelphia.

Joe Schlesinger was the second child to marry; on July 11, 1915 he married Marie Wetherill in Philadelphia. My father also has fond memories of his cousin Marie as a very sweet woman who cared for her mother-in-law Brendina for many years. Marie was born on August 15, 1888. She was 27 when she married Joe, and he was 40.
I am sad that I've been unable yet to find out anything about Marie's background or family history. I did find a record of a Philadelphia birth certificate for a child born to a Francis M. Wetherill and his wife May on August 15, 1888, the same date given as Marie's birth date on the SSDI and the Florida Death Index, but that child's name was Emma Virginia M. Wetherill. Perhaps the M stood for Marie, but I can't be sure. Plus when I went to find the Wetherill family on the 1900 census, I could not find them, even though Marie would only have been twelve years old at that time. If anyone has any suggestions for how I might learn more about Marie, please let me know.
On October 29, 1915, the family suffered a terrible loss when Brendina's oldest child Heloise died at age 41 of complications from diabetes. Heloise had never married or worked out of the house so perhaps she had been suffering from diabetes for a long period of time. Like her father, Heloise was buried at Adath Jeshurun cemetery in Philadelphia.
Heloise Schlesinger death certificate
As this obituary notes, "Her death caused great sorrow among a large circle of friends." How very sad this must have been for her family and her friends.
The Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, November 5, 1915, p. 12
Meanwhile, World War I was raging in Europe, and all three of Brendina's sons registered for the World War I draft. Joe was working for the Pennsylvania Furniture Company as a salesman and an inspector of some kind—can anyone decipher what that says?
S. Joseph Schlesinger World War I draft registration
Registration State: Pennsylvania; Registration County: Philadelphia; Roll: 1907753; Draft Board: 29
Alfred was the secretary of a car advertising company:

World War I draft registration
And Sidney was, like Joe, a furniture salesman but for Stern & Company:
Sidney Schlesinger World War I draft registration
Given that the three brothers were in their late 30s and early 40s during World War I, I do not believe any of them actually served in the war.
That was probably very fortunate as Brendina had already lost her husband and her daughter in less than three years. But the heartbreak did not end there. On April 20, 1920, the youngest Schlesinger child, Aimee, died of breast cancer at age 33.
Aimee Schlesinger Steinberg death certificate
Aimee was married to Samuel Steinberg, a Russian immigrant who had immigrated to the US with his parents, Menashe and Deborah, in 1890 when he was just a baby. His father was in the butter and eggs business in Philadelphia in 1900. By 1910 Menashe owned a store in Philadelphia where Samuel and his brother both worked.
When he registered for the World War I draft in June, 1917, Samuel was still single and working as a presser. Thus, he and Aimee could not have been married very long at the time of her death. They were living in Philadelphia with Brendina and her son Alfred in 1920. Samuel was a commercial traveler in the jewelry business at that time.

Philadelphia Inquirer April 22, 1920 p. 18
After Aimee died, Brendina was left with her three sons, Joseph, Alfred, and Sidney, who were all living in Philadelphia. As noted above, in 1920 she was living with Alfred, who was still single and was in the advertising business. Joe, like Alfred, was in advertising and living with his wife Marie in 1920. Sidney and Nan were living with their daughter Jane and Nan's mother Caroline in 1920; Sidney was working as a furniture salesman.

Year: 1920; Census Place: Philadelphia Ward 42, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Roll: T625_1643; Page: 13B; Enumeration District: 1563; Image: 705
Thus, after losing her parents in the 1890s and two of brothers in the 1900s, Brendina lost her husband and two of her daughters (as well as her last surviving brother Jacob) between 1910 and 1920. Her only surviving sibling was my great-grandmother Hilda, who had moved all the way to Denver by 1910. It's hard to imagine how Aunt Dean endured so many losses. And yet she did, for she lived long enough for my father to have clear memories of her. More on that in my next post.
[1] I am skipping over Jacob Katzenstein for now because I have ordered a book about the Jewish community in Johnstown and am waiting until I've read it before I continue the story of his life after the 1889 flood.

Woke to snow and this wonderful post…such heartache for Aunt Bean..I can't even begin to imagine her thoughts and tears. Hilda moving to Denver must have been crushing for her. But what a testament to the human spirit of that time…thanks for this post.

I know. It really amazed me. When I mentioned this all to my father, he had no idea. It gave him a new perspective on why she seemed so unhappy.
Cathy Meder-Dempsey on February 6, 2017 at 11:21 am said:
On the draft card for Joe, could it be he was working two jobs? It looks like W. T. Food Inspct. might have been filled in after salesman was written.
Wow, maybe! I hadn't thought of that. I need to go back and look at it again. Thank you!
Cathy Meder-Dempsey on February 6, 2017 at 1:19 pm said:
Or perhaps he was working for W. T. Food who was an inspector for the furniture company.
Amy on February 6, 2017 at 2:57 pm said:
I think it might say US food inspector, not WT. But why would a furniture salesman be inspecting food for anyone? Thanks!
Cathy Meder-Dempsey on February 7, 2017 at 3:41 am said:
You might be right. I looked at it again and couldn't find W or T for comparison. But if you look at the S in Solomon (but not in Schlesinger) it does resemble the letter I thought was a T. Might still be a second job, I don't see a furniture salesman inspecting food either.
Amy on February 7, 2017 at 7:51 am said:
I am now so confused! Everyone sees something different. The only job he ever listed on a census was salesman, so who knows? I searched for a WT Ford and WT Food, but came up empty. Thanks!
As I look at it again, I think it must be furniture inspector. As for the initials, it could be US, UT, NT, NS, WS, WT, or the second letter could be an L, as GP Cox suggested. But food just makes no sense. I did find a photo of the Penn Furniture store though!
Shirley Allen on February 6, 2017 at 12:32 pm said:
What a devastating blow for Bean to lose Aimee. And to breast cancer, a disease that should not have affected a 33 year old in 1920. After bearing so many loses I hope Bean enjoyed some sunny days. I look forward to reading more about her in your next post.
I wish I could promise you sunnier things to come. Well, there were some, but no, the rain kept coming.
GP Cox on February 6, 2017 at 2:33 pm said:
I agree with Cathy on the interpretation of Joe's registration card.
Does it look like WT to you or US? Thanks!
GP Cox on February 7, 2017 at 6:15 am said:
Actually, I went back and looked at it again and it seems to me it is W.L.
Magical letters! Every time we look we see something different. And it still makes no sense that he was a food inspector. Furniture, maybe, but food?
I know, I kept staring at it, but food and furniture? The only thing that makes sense to me is that he had 2 jobs.
But he only listed one employer. I think he was a furniture inspector with bad handwriting!
karenlee on February 6, 2017 at 7:16 pm said:
My first thought: food inspector. Look at the other S's in lines 18 and 19; they look different than what is on the occupation line. I think it reads W. T. and could it be Ford instead of Food? Have you searched for a WT Ford? Oh, how sad…breast cancer that spread to the spinal column and dying at age 33.This family sure suffered.
Good suggestion—I will search for WT Ford!

I always love your posts – there is so much research and organization involved. My siblings sometimes tell me "that was easy" and then I remind them that writing the blog post might be easy but it took a LONG time to get to that point. Good job!
Amy on February 14, 2017 at 12:15 pm said:
Thanks, Debi! I don't even find writing the blog post easy. I am always re-organizing and editing, and then I always find a gap somewhere that needs filling by more research. But I love every second of it!
You're right – I don't think "easy" was the right word. I remember doing a chart a few years ago showing a tree with just the birth country of each individual colored differently so you could quickly see where everyone was born. My brother commented "that was easy for you". I had to correct him that while the chart was easier for me to put together than it would have been for him, it took me years to not only find out where each of my ancestors was born but also who they even were.

Q: How do these function return values work in Dart? the official Bloc documentation gives this code snippet:
Stream<int> countStream(int max) async* {
    for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
        yield i;
    }
}

This looks very simple to me, until I realize that the function does not return anything (no returnstatement), but yields all the time (which is to me - coming from python - not the same as a return statement).
There's also this example, which is even more clear:
Future<int> sumStream(Stream<int> stream) async {
    int sum = 0;
    await for (int value in stream) {
        sum += value;
    }
    return sum;
}

Here there's an int returned explicitly, but if I read this correctly the function definition should return a Future<int>type:
Future<int> sumStream(Stream<int> stream) async { //...

Now, how does this work? I'm a bit confused here.
Thanks in advance!
Axel.

A: For your first example, countStream is a Stream of integer designed with an async*. (take care of the star)
 In this stream definition, Yield emit a new integer on the stream flow (of integer as said by stream < int > .
If you consume the stream, you will get 0,1,2,3,4,...,max-1
In the second snippet, read it as :  sumStream is a Future that must return an int.
More generally, A Future < T > instance produces a value of type T.
 sumStream  will consume a stream (given in parameter) and as long as this stream has values, sum them and return the last sum when finished. Sum is an integer : it's ok with Future definition.
Using both, you can have :
> void main() async  {
   print(await sumStream(countStream(5)));
}

result : 10    (0+1+2+3+4)
As sumStream is a Future, main can wait for asynchronous execution: it declares its intention to use async function (async declaration), then it can use await to stop its own execution until sumStream returns.
Another way if you leave main without async is to add a .then clause to the Future:
void main()  {
  sumStream(countStream(5)).then((x)=>print(x));
  print("after sumStream");
}

Result :
after sumStream
10
As you can see main pass over sumStream it has started but which is not finished and print("after sumStream") first.
Then the main finished, but Dart knows there is still async job running and it will wait until all is done, so we can see the result, but once Future sumStream is finished.
HTH

A:
This looks very simple to me, until I realize that the function does not return anything (no return statement)

First of all, this function returns Stream<int> result value as specified in function declartion. This function often called as the generator function.
Stream<int> countStream(int max) async*

The function body code (generator) will generate the int values and yield these generated values to the initially returned Stream<int> stream.
The statement yield means in this case the following logic of work:
Add a value to Stream<int> controller and return to the next statement in the body of the function that follows that statement yield.
Something like this:
import 'dart:async';

Future<void> main() async {
  await for (final i in countStream(5)) {
    print(i);
  }
}

Stream<int> countStream(int max) {
  int i;
  final _ctl$ = StreamController<int>();
  void Function(int) _switchState$;
  _switchState$ = (int _state$) {
    while (true) {
      switch (_state$) {
        case 0:
          // for (int i = 0;
          i = 0;
          _state$ = 1;
          break;
        case 1:
          // i < max;
          if (i < max) {
            _state$ = 2;
          } else {
            return;
          }
          break;
        case 2:
          // yield i;
          _ctl$.add(i);
          Timer.run(() => _switchState$(3));
          return;
        case 3:
          // i++
          i++;
          _state$ = 1;
          break;
      }
    }
  };

  Timer.run(() => _switchState$(0));
  return _ctl$.stream;
}

Result:

Bland Simpson Inducted into North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame
By Bailey Fernandez and Erik Maloney
Bland Simpson, Kenan Distinguished Professor of English & Creative Writing in the Department of English & Comparative Literature, has been inducted into the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame.
Simpson has written several novels, short stories, musical and theatrical works, and works of creative nonfiction. His "nonfiction novel" The Mystery of Beautiful Nell Cropsey (1993) tells of the 1901 disappearance of a nineteen-year-old girl in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and the national sensation the case evoked. Ghost Ship of Diamond Shoals (2002) reconstructs the mysterious final voyage of the Carroll A. Deering, found wrecked and deserted in 1921 on the Diamond Shoals of Cape Hatteras. Two Captains from Carolina (2012) narrates the lives of two nineteenth-century mariners—one African American and one Irish American—in the antebellum South and the Civil War era. Simpson is also a musician who plays piano with the Tony Award-winning Red Clay Ramblers.
Simpson has served as a chronicler of the changing ecological landscape of North Carolina, as well as the threats to that landscape. He grew up near the Great Dismal Swamp and authored The Great Dismal: A Carolinian's Swamp Memoir (1990), which employs life-writing and natural history to evoke one of the state's most intriguing and elusive ecosystems. He and his wife Ann Cary Simpson have been described by the Charlotte Observer as people who "have spent their lifetimes sharing their love for North Carolina's coastal waters" in a series of texts illustrated by Ann's photographs: Into the Sound Country (1997), The Inner Islands (2006), and Little Rivers and Waterway Tales (2015). He recently cotaught a creative nonfiction course on "The Changing Coasts of Carolina."
The North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame promotes the "state's rich literary heritage" in order to encourage "the continued flourishing of great literature." This year's induction ceremony honored Simpson and four other writers: Anthony S. Abbot, Charles Frazier, Max Steele, and Carole Boston Weatherford.

Autodromo Nazionale Monza er et motorsportsanlæg ved byen Monza, nord for Milano i Italien.

Første spadestik til banen blev taget 15. maj 1922, og 3. september samme år blev Monza officielt indviet. Siden Formel 1-seriens etablering i 1950, har Monza lagt asfalt til Italiens Grand Prix, med undtagelse af 1980, hvor Imola-banen var vært.

I begyndelsen af tiden som Formel 1-vært omkom flere kørere og tilskuere under løb på Monza. Blandt andet den svenske racerkører Ronnie Peterson, der omkom i 1978 efter at han var forulykket under et Formel 1-løb på banen.

I haven't spend much time outside at night. Not this summer, with all the rain, not recently in the fall. I used to do this every weekend at least for a bit.
What changed? Some friends moved away. I liked to sit on our patio with them and drink wine and smoke and solve all the emotional and political problems of the world. Yes. After years of not smoking I would do so when I would have something to drink.
What changed? Since we decided to move I needed to get very clear on things. The only way I can that is to cut away, remove, purge. I removed alcohol and nicotine. Not that you would find me on a poster for alcohol awareness or advertisement for the patch–but everything you put in your body changes you. And when you are thinking hard about leaving the place you've lived for 10 years–well you have to be as clear headed as you possibly can be.
And that's when I found my depression had returned, had actually been in residence for quite some time. You don't notice it I think until it gets really bad. Or I don't. I was trudging through my life. Work, home, child. I wasn't enjoying much of anything. There were very few moments of sudden joy at the feel of my cat's fur or daughter's laugh. Everything had gone grey again.
I know I'm supposed to hide depression, to hide what some people call a mental illness. But I don't believe it is a mental illness. I think it is a chronic physical illness. I'm pretty smart and I've tried talk therapy of various kinds to pull me out of the pit, and I just can't think my way out. I know when I started unwrapping the package that I'd layered in wrappings of alcohol, despair,cigarettes and isolation, that that had been accidentally kicked under the bed and collecting dust, everything didn't look different, it looked right.
I haven't told the moon that lately. I think I should go out and talk to her in the most beautiful backyard I've ever had before it becomes that for someone else.

Q: iOS - corebluetooth retrieveConnectedPeripheralsWithServices: - how to get Advertisement Data? I'm writing a suite of Bluetooth Low-Energy app for iOS 7.
When the app launches, there's a fair chance the peripheral I'm interested in is still connected to the iOS device, and to avoid scanning for the peripheral it would be great to connect immediately.  retrieveConnectedPeripheralsWithServices: looks perfect for this, and indeed seems to work as advertised: I get a list of CBPeripherals which are connected to the device via some backgrounded app.
So far so good, but here's the issue:
There's information in the AdvertisementData which I want, but I don't know how to get the AdvertisementData when going this route.
As far as I can see, advertisementData is only available as a result of scanning.
So my question is this:
* Given a CBPeripheral returned by retrieveConnectedPeripheralsWithServices:, how can I get the associated advertisementData for that peripheral ?
One workaround would take advantage of the fact that the device was likely connected to another of the apps in my own suite, so I could persist the advertisement data myself in storage shared between the apps, but this is neither clean nor ideal, because there's a chance the device was connected to someone else's app, and so I'd have no insight into the advertisement data in that scenario, and would need to resort to a scan.

A: Unfortunately, the advertisement data is available only if you scan. It is not possible to retrieve it from Core Bluetooth or any other framework in any other way. You should revise your design if the advertisement is so important and rather go along the scanning route.

Home News Featured News Farmland rental price gone up? Could be because of a provincial policy
Farmland rental price gone up? Could be because of a provincial policy
on: February 02, 2018 In: Featured News, News
By Connor Lynch
Farmers might notice the cost of renting land going up more than they expected this year.
That's because of a more-than two-decade-old rule that MPAC has recently dusted off.
The rule only affects farmers renting land from non-farmers. When a non-farmer rents out farmland with bush or woodlot on it, the acreage with bush or woodlot on it is zoned residential and doesn't qualify for the farmland tax exemption.
Since the farmland exemption caps the farmland tax rate at 25 per cent of the residential tax rate, the property tax bill for that marginal land quadruples. For the vast majority of municipalities in Ontario, the rate is 25 per cent.
That cost has been getting passed on to farmers in the form of increased rent, said Ontario Federation of Agriculture senior policy analyst Ben LeFort.
The OFA wants the Ministry of Finance to step in, since it gives MPAC its marching orders. The goal is to have the policy state that, if another use of the marginal land has not been clearly identified, it would remain classified as farmland.
The issue flared up once before, in 2009, when a similar spike in farmland assessments happened in Ontario. A spike in assessments meant MPAC was getting a lot of requests for revaluations, and doing a lot of inspections. That meant the organization was looking much more closely at a lot more properties than it normally would be.
It's flared up again because of the spike in property values that happened in 2016 in Ontario, and will likely increase through the spring and early summer as landowners get their tax bills, said OFA president Keith Currie.
Although the OFA will be looking to meet with the Ministry of Finance on the issue, don't expect anything until at least after the provincial election in early June, Currie said. "Finance is (currently) up to its neck getting ready for the budget," and once that's done the ministry has until the end of the year before taxes become a pressing issue for them again.

I received this for Christmas this year (don't I have an awesome wife?). Up until Christmas morning, I'd only seen it in pictures, so I was shocked at how heavy it was. At first, I thought it was polystone, but upon further inspection, it appears to be made out of a very dense resin. The D&D Dungeon Master's Keep – Ultimate DM's Screen comes in three pieces. They don't attach to each other, but this isn't really a problem since they're so heavy it won't fall over or be knocked out of position by someone merely bumping into your table. You'd have to be pretty careless to scratch your table with the smooth bottom, but if you have concerns, you could easily cover the bottom with felt (not included).
The back side of the screen features shelves and storage for tokens, miniatures, and dice. Each tower on the center section is hollow and can function as a dice roller. One, which you can see in the above picture will roll the dice toward the players; the other will roll the dice toward the GM. You can see in this next picture the front-facing die roller, as well as the front gate and emblem. The gates do not open. Not that you would want them to; this is a barrier, not a piece of miniature terrain.
I said this was a barrier, and that's essentially what it is. There are no charts, no ability to customize it to show crucial information for your game. This is designed to stand between the GM and the players. It keeps notes safe from peeping eyes, and provides nice storage niches for tokens and other accoutrements that seem to aid games like D&D 4E or the current version of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
The left and right sides are essentially identical, albeit mirrored versions of each other. They both have the current Dungeons & Dragons logo above a shelf which itself is above six small bins. The center section has two shelves, suitable for larger miniatures, as well as the second die roller exit.
I can imagine sitting behind it would give one the feeling of lording over his or her players. Or, if you're smaller in stature, keep you completely hidden, the ominous voice from the keep, as it were. It could double as a pretty wicked piece of miniature terrain, particularly if you wanted to run a siege scenario of some sort (it's a multitasker!).
While running the sort of game that's loose, free-flowing, with no tactical combat, the Dungeon Master's Keep – Ultimate DM's Screen will probably be of little value. If you hate Dungeons & Dragons (you're probably not reading this blog), you probably won't be a fan of the logo that's prominent on 2/3rds of it. If you run a game that has a lot of fiddly bits, it provides handy, convenient storage for said fiddly bits, though you'll want to keep your reference charts handy elsewhere. I have yet to see how it will fit on the end of my Spartan gaming table from Geek Chic.
When you set this screen up, there is NO QUESTION which end of the table belongs to the Dungeon Master. Some people don't like the barrier GM screens create between GMs and players. Some people insist upon it. If you don't like screens, you wouldn't be buying this anyway, unless you're a collector. It actually makes a pretty impressive display for prized miniatures.
Or you can hunker down behind it and launch Nerf darts at your cat*.
*I have not done this…yet.
I imagine you could probably engineer a way to hang some charts on the inside, though last time I DM'ed I found that having the quick reference sheets on the screen was awkward (did not help that the lighting was bad and the screen served to shadow everything I needed to see).
I think it would make for cool ambiance to have some flickery LED candles behind this screen in a darkish room.
So, a subjective question, but do you think it is worth 100+ dollars?
I will probably lay any reference charts I use flat on the table behind the screen when I use it. LED candles would look pretty cool in the tops of the towers.
Thanks very much for the review, I just saw this thing on the gf9 site and really want one now.
Bought one of these. Took ages to get it but we've been using it now for over the last 18 months and it's great.

Outgoing Rep. Martha McSally has been appointed to fill former Sen. John McCain's seat just over a month after losing the race for the state's other Senate seat.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced her appointment Tuesday morning, just days after Sen. Jon Kyl confirmed that he was stepping down from the role.
In the press release announcing her appointment, Ducey said that McSally "is uniquely qualified to step up and fight for Arizona's interests in the U.S. Senate."
McSally, a two-term congresswoman, gained national attention when she faced off against Democrat Rep. Kyrsten Sinema this fall as they both fought to take over the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Jeff Flake's decision not to run for re-election.
Sinema won the seat in a relatively close race, with Sinema winning 50 percent of the vote to McSally's 47.6 percent. McSally conceded six days after the election.
That election was already a historic one, with Sinema becoming the first female to represent Arizona in the Senate. Now, the state will be one of only a few to be represented by two women.
With McSally's appointment, she and Sinema will be the only serving bipartisan pair of female senators representing their state. The only other instance of that happening was in New Hampshire from 2011 to 2017.
There are several other pairs of female senators who will be in the Senate come 2019 -- in California, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Nevada -- but the Arizona duo are the only ones of opposite parties.
Six-term Republican Sen. John McCain passed away in late August, just days before the Republican primary in the race for Flake's seat, and he had an outsize impact on the race.
McSally spoke movingly during her primary night victory speech about how he served as a mentor to her, both because of their military backgrounds and their love of Arizona.
"I am forever grateful to have had the chance to know him to learn from him and even to work with him," she said in her Aug. 28 speech.
That said, she did not receive an endorsement from the McCain family in the midterm race, even though she and Cindy McCain spoke at the same Election Eve event -- alongside Ducey and Kyl.
In spite of the fact that McCain held his seat for decades, it lies within the power of the governor and not McCain's family to determine who will fill the spot until a special election can be held to formally fill it in 2020.
At a news conference today, Ducey said that he was grateful that McSally and Cindy McCain "were able to get together and visit earlier this week and clear the air."
U.S. Rep. Martha McSally address her constituents along with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, left, and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, right, during a Get Out the Vote Rally, Oct. 12, 2018, in Gilbert, Ariz.
Cindy McCain posted a tweet supporting the decision and calling on McSally to remember her husband's legacy.
"My husband's greatest legacy was placing service to AZ & USA ahead of his own self-interest. I respect @dougducey's decision to appoint @RepMcSally to fill the remainder of his term. Arizonans will be pulling for her, hoping that she will follow his example of selfless leadership," she wrote on Twitter.
For her part, McSally said that she looks forward to working with her recent rival Sinema -- who she accused of treason during the campaign -- while they both serve as the state's representatives in the Senate for the next two years.
"I am humbled and grateful to have this opportunity to serve and be a voice for all Arizonans. I look forward to working with Senator-Elect Kyrsten Sinema and getting to work from day one," McSally said in Ducey's news release announcing her appointment.
She echoed that sentiment at the news conference hours later, saying that she texted Sinema this morning and she plans to work with her in the Senate "just like we did in the House."
"There's a lot of common ground between us and I'm ready to hit it running," McSally said.
Ducey noted that Sinema will be sworn in before McSally, making Sinema the senior Senator from Arizona. He said that decision was made in an effort to "respect the will of the voters."
Assuming McSally's appointment progresses, the special election for McCain's seat will be held in 2020, and then would be up for it's regularly scheduled re-election in 2022. Should McSally continue forward, and run for re-election, she will have campaigned three times in six years, losing once.
And since McCain won his sixth term in 2016 and Sinema's seat is up for re-election in 2024, Arizonans will have gone through five Senate elections in a decade.

A quarter of UK children born to immigrant mothers
Tue, 2012-10-30 12:42 PM

New figures released by the UK's Office for National Statistics show that 24% of babies born in the UK last year (2011) were born to women who were born outside the UK.
The ONS said that 'the increase in the proportion of foreign births to non-UK born mothers living in the UK illustrates how the demographic make-up of the UK is changing.' It added that understanding the patterns of childbearing among migrant populations was 'essential for planning services such as maternity provision and schools'.
The figures show that in London, where most immigrants live, 57% of children were born to non-UK born mothers. The five countries from where the most mothers came were
• Poland, (from where 23,000 mothers came)
• Pakistan (19,000)
• India (15,500)
• Bangladesh (8,500)
• Nigeria (8,000)
• Germany (7,000 – though these were predominantly born in Germany to UK service personal stationed in military bases there)
The ONS found that the number of births to UK born mothers remained virtually static between 2007 and 2011. In 2007, there were 603,000 births to UK-born mothers compared to 612,000 in 2011.
However, the number of children born to non-UK born mothers rose by 16% from 169,000 to 196,000. Part of this is explained by the numbers of UK-born and non-UK born women living in the UK. Between 2007 and 2011 there has been a 24% rise in the number of women of child-bearing age living in the UK whereas the number of such UK born women has actually fallen by 5%.
The survey found that fertility rates are much higher among non-UK born than among UK-born populations. The general fertility rate measures the annual number of live births per 1,000 women of childbearing age (often taken to be from 15 to 49 years old. That figure is 60 for UK born women. The figure is nearly 150 for Pakistani-born women and nearly 140 for Nigerian born women.
