We continue our pursuit of records of deaf, dumb and blind students with another report. This time it's for a Canadian school: Catholic Male Institution for Deaf and Dumb 1878. Also, we added several reports from schools for "colored" students: Saratoga Street Institute 1856 (Baltimore) and Institute for Colored Youth 1860 and 1862 (Philadelphia).
Another registers of convicts from the New Hampshire State Prison: 1891.
Also check out the Bedford County, Virginia Index of Wills (1754-1830).
As mentioned last week, a series of Missouri resources are being transcribed. More to follow in coming weeks.
These are just some of the 35 resources published today. Every week I send out a complete listing of the items added. If you'd like to join this RootsWeb mailing list called GenToday-L, click here for instructions.
Memorial Day is the day to honor the fallen, and has come to be a day when we remember all who have gone before. In her article, "The History of Memorial Day," Gena Philbert Ortega provides background for this important holiday and the wearing red poppies on this day, which has truly great meaning.
According to a recent press release, Synium has rolled out its MacFamily Tree 5.2 public beta with the new 3D Virtual Tree.
Never get lost. Navigate even the most complex kinships - in 3D. With our new Virtual Tree, MacFamilyTree 5.2 intuitively displays all kinds of family relations. Hobbyists as well as genealogy experts will fancy the Virtual Tree, making it easy to inspect and navigate one's entire family tree database.
From all perspectives, close-up and from a broader angle, MacFamilyTree renders a three-dimensional mesh of persons and their relations. Highlight common characteristics using different colors and shapes. Navigating the Virtual Tree is simple: just point, click and drag with your mouse, or use a dedicated Navigator to literally fly through your own ancestry.
MacFamilyTree 5.2 also significantly enhances GUI and workflow for editing families. Additionally, GEDCOM import is now even faster than before, and HTML export has been improved to better handle Media contents. This most recent update to version 5 is currently available as Public Beta and fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and its predecessor.
As announced on Examiner.com, "Ancestry.com partners with National Archives," those interested in finding out whether their great-great-great grandfather was a German farmer or an Austrian shoe cobbler may have an easier time doing so, thanks to a new partnership between Ancestry.com and the National Archives. The D.C.-based Archives and the genealogy Web site signed an agreement Tuesday that would allow Ancestry.com to digitize many of its records and make them available online for family tree enthusiasts.
"The National Archives has, truly, billions of documents and without partnerships like this, they have no really good way or substantial budget to digitize them themselves," said Tim Sullivan, chief executive of Ancestry.com.
Under the agreement, Ancestry.com will make INS passenger arrival and departure lists between 1897 and 1958 available. Researchers will also be able to find death notices for U.S. citizens abroad between 1835-1974.The company previously worked with the Archives to put census records online, Sullivan said, and will put up additional information as their relationship progresses.
"Take one kerosene cube and call me in the morning."
Researching the social history of our ancestors is interesting and can tickle the funny-bone. Makes you wonder fifty years down the road, we are doing now that will amuse our great-grandchildren – the clothes, for sure – always the clothes. But what about our daily life and the things we take for granted, what new medicines will make the common pill a primitive treatment? In her article, "Medicine in Rural Appalachia," Melissa Slate takes an incredulous look at home remedies from days gone by, and while it may seem shocking and amusing all at once, it is also enlightening, helping us to better understand and appreciate our ancestors.
There are no updates this week as I am busy in Kansas City, Mo. visiting the Central Library and meeting up with some friends at the National Genealogical Society conference. Expect to see several Missouri resources published in the next few weeks.
Be looking for a new way to access and use the Family History Library Catalog. In a press release yesterday, FamilyLink.com, Inc announced it has teamed with FamilySearch to improve the user experience of the Family History Library Catalog. The new features include improved searching, making the catalog searchable by major online search engines and guided searching to help users decide which sources might be most helpful based on what they want to know. Another enhancement will allow for greater interactivity. Every catalog entry will link to an online or digital resource, if available, allowing users to buy the book or search for the nearest copy.
Lost and found, one tombstone. An engaging story by Melissa Slate, "Century-old Tombstone Found on Houseboat," tells the story of one child's tombstone found in an unlikely place and restored to the family through the efforts and expertise of a genealogist.
As noted on About.com, the 1860 U.S. Census made an appearance at historical records subscription site Footnote.com this past week and brings something "a bit different to the table," - allowing users to enhance census listings by adding photos, stories, comments and related documents.
Footnote.com has included the 1860 U.S. Census to its Civil War collection which also includes service records of Confederate soldiers, a pension index for Union soldiers, and Southern Claims Commission files. Footnote is also working with FamilySearch and the National Archives to digitize the actual pension applications for Union widows -- this alone is excellent news!
The new 1860 U.S. Census database is available online to paid subscribers at Footnote.com, and is also available for free to users at local Family History Centers and the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. If you're unable to locate someone you expect to find, don't panic. As of today the 1860 census database is only 66% complete, with the rest to come.
Genealogists may be confronted by certain legal issues in the gathering of family history information. It's important for researchers to be aware of the issues and respect the concerns, at the same time working toward demonstrating responsible use of information acquired and shared. In his article, "The Law and Genealogy," Alan Smith explores specific areas of potential conflict.
FamilySearch has announced the release of two research tools, "Finding Records of Your Ancestors, England" and "Finding Records of Your Ancestors, Scotland." Free copies can be viewed, downloaded, or printed online at FamilySearch.org.
The guides are designed for those who have already gathered some family history information about their English or Scottish ancestors and are ready to search public and private records. The guides explain different types of records in England and Scotland, and instruct the user when and how to use specific records. Also included are maps, key dates in English and Scottish history, and guides for reading respective genealogical records.
The two guides are the latest additions to a series of free online publications. Others topics include African-American, Danish, Finnish, French, Icelandic, Italian, Jewish, Mexican, Norwegian and Swedish family research.
A very interesting Connecticut resource was finished this week... New Haven Soldiers who Lost Their Lives in the War of the Rebellion. Along with this were two telephone directories: Humboldt Iowa 1929 and Laconia N. H. 1916.
Reports listing residents of homes are a great source for tracking down ancestors in their later years. Check out Pennsylvania Odd Fellows' Home 1890 and Boston Home for Aged Men 1895.
These are just some of the 20 resources published today. Every week I send out a complete listing of the items added. If you'd like to join this RootsWeb mailing list called GenToday-L, click here for instructions.
Vital records are those primary source documents genealogists have spent many hours, many dollars, and, at times, much frustration researching and acquiring. Today, the task is much easier (though not always less expensive), and the hope of finding a key record is much higher, thanks to the massive digitation efforts underway in many camps across the globe. In her article, United States Vital Records Online," Gena Philibert-Ortega observes, provides an update on vital records available in the U. S., noting, at this time, she is referencing only actual vital records documents, not all documents in which vital information may be found. So take heart -- even if the information you seek is not in vital records documents, it may well be someplace else. Among the records available online, a great many are indexes, which are subject to error. As the author points out, the information in indexes may vary across information providers. Information in one index may not include information revealed in another index, or information in one may be in error and another more accurate. So it's not all cakes and pies, kids. Even though more records are increasingly made available, considerable research is still required -- it's just a little easier today.
At a recent used book and paper show, I discovered an 1832 government report that included An Abstract of Licenses granted to persons to Trade with the Indians during the year ending 30th September, 1831. Check out Licenses to Trade with Indians 1831.
Two registers of convicts from the New Hampshire State Prison: 1863 and 1880.
These are just some of the 22 resources published today. Every week I send out a complete listing of the items added. If you'd like to join this RootsWeb mailing list called GenToday-L, click here for instructions.
Two big genealogy conferences are coming up, NGS in May and the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree in June.
As announced previously, The 2008 NGS Conference In the States and Family History Fair will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, 14-17 May 2008, while the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree and Research Expo will hold its annual Jamboree, June 27-29 in Burbank California. There's still time to register for either conference; be sure to reserve your hotel as soon as possible.

My thoughts on the Nicolas Cage vs. Vince Neil fight in Las Vegas…
April 8, 2016 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
A lot of people want to hate on Nicolas Cage but I think Nic Cage did a good thing here. Nic was being the peacemaker it looks like to me. Looks like Nic was trying to save a female fan of his from domestic violence and was trying to get Vince to get calm down. It seems to me that Vince got all jealous 'cause the woman went to Nic for an autograph instead of him. It's obvious that Vince is drunk or on drugs or something.
Nic was trying to save a woman from getting beat up by Vince, that's all he was doing.
http://www.tmz.com/2016/04/08/nicolas-cage-vince-neil-fight-vegas/
Anyway, we don't know the full story. Of course, Nic Cage might be drunk off of his ass also 'cause he too always had a drinking problem. Nic has always been short tempered. To me, Nic was just trying to save a woman from getting hurt, it looks like.
Either that or maybe Vince was trying to calm Nic down, I don't know. We don't know the full story. Just what TMZ posted 'cause I hate that website to be honest with ya. We should know the full story soon but I'm sure Vince and Nic will their own side.
Nic Cage is a very talented actor and all but in real life, that guy has a lot of problems, no doubt.

In response to Nicolas Cage's spending habits…
December 23, 2015 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
There's no doubt that Nic Cage is a huge spender. He always has been for years but can you blame him?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/22/nicolas-cage-compulsive-spender.html
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3371810/What-Dickens-Nicolas-Cage-sports-hat-cane-quirky-period-look-treating-son-Kale-El-shopping-trip-Glastonbury.html
There's also no doubt that Nic Cage is one of the richest actors on the planet. That's probably because he has made too many blockbuster movies over the years.
Look at all the hit movies he has made over the years:
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=nicolascage.htm
The biggest movies he has ever made in his career were: National Treasure franchise, The Rock, ConAir, The Croods, Gone In 60 Seconds, City of Angels and Face/Off were some of his biggest films. I'm sure he continues to make millions of dollars every minute. What is he going to do with all that money when he keeps having money coming in all the time, ya know? Let him have his fun.
Nic Cage is a great actor and talented. He's also one of the most hardest working actors I've ever seen too 'cause the man is always working. I've always respected this guy and he's a classy guy for returning that stolen dinosaur head too.
Report: Nicolas Cage confirmed for "Expendables 3", they finally got him!!!
November 5, 2012 Kev Brock	8 Comments
Sly has been trying to get actor Nicolas Cage, for the first two "Expendables" movies, but Nic Cage kept turning them down. Well, Nic is finally available, and is a go for "Expendables 3". They don't say what character Cage will be playing, whether a hero or a villain, but in my opinion, Cage should play the villain. He would make a great badguy for these movies.
Sly says, he wants Mickey Rourke back for the third one. They are also interested in Harrison Ford, and Wesley Snipes.
Deadline, reports.
Hopefully, they'll get Kurt Russell soon.

Report: Nicolas Cage confirmed for "Expendables 3"??? Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood in negotiations???
August 13, 2012 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
Sly Stallone and the crew for "The Expendables" team have been trying to get Nicolas Cage to join the cast ever since the first movie but Cage declined every time. Look like Lionsgate finally got him! Avi Lerner said that Cage is set to star, not saying what role he will be playing yet. Don't know whether he's playing the good guy or the villain, for "Expendables 3".
No matter what you think of Nicolas Cage, the guy is an action star. So he fits in "The Expendables" perfectly. I think Cage would make a pretty good villain for the third one. Cage has been in more than 20 action films over the years and pretty big hits too. Movies like, "The Rock", "Con/Air", "Face/Off", "Gone In 60 Seconds", "Snake Eyes", "8mm", etc. The list goes on.
Lerner also says that Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford are also in talks.
More on the story, here.
I hope they'll get Kurt Russell for the third one too. They've been trying to get Russell for the last two films, but he kept declining as well. It would be nice to see Tango and Cash re-team again.

Report: Nic Cage's stolen "Superman – Action Comics No. 1" sold at auction for $2.1 million…
December 1, 2011 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
Actor Nicolas Cage, is a huge comic collector. That is his second passion outside of acting in film. He's a big superhero fan like most of us. His Superman "Action Comics No. 1" was stolen from him way back in 2000, and it was later found in an abandoned storage locker. The comic from the locker has been recently sold for a whopping $2.1 million. Don't believe that this could be Nic Cage's comic yet, 'cause there is no confirmation or proof that it could be his.
When Nic finds out who the buyer is, I feel a big lawsuit coming and he could try to get it back. You may ask, "What's so special about a comic? Why don't he leave it alone and move on?" Well, comics can be extremely valuable. The older ones anyway. If taken care of. I'm sure the comic that Nic had is worth millions, way more than 2.1.
I'm not sure what Nic will do. He could forget it and move on, but I see him wanting it back. I just think he'll fight for it.
Read more on the story, here.

BREAKING NEWS: Nicolas Cage busted in New Orleans for domestic violence…
April 16, 2011 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
Actor Nicolas Cage has been arrested in New Orleans today, due to domestic violence against his wife, Alice Kim. The actor was outside in front of his rental home, having a heated argument with his wife. When the police came to stop the argument, Nic Cage's temper tantrum wouldn't stop there. He challenged the officers to arrest him so they did. Cage was released on $11,000 bail, several hours later.
I like Nicolas Cage. He's a great actor who's been in many great movies that I liked. I think Nic losing his temper a lot these days is that work in Hollywood is finally stressing him out. The Hollywood lifestyle is getting into him, if you know what I mean. Plus, he's having financial problems with taxes and bankruptcy and all that stuff.
I wish the man would settle down. Take a break from Hollywood, a long hiatus. Nic has been working on film since 1980 and he's never taken a break. He's been releasing a new film, year after year, non stop. He's still going in film year after year too. He's definitely a workaholic.
I wish him well and hope he gets the professional help he needs. He should do what Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean William Scott did. They turned themselves in for mental health issues, Nic should think about doing the same thing. If Nic doesn't get help soon, he could end up beating up his wife, Alice Kim. What we've seen here is a warning sign that could happen to Alice.

Netflix Pick: "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans"
So last night, I finally saw the movie, "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans", a movie I've always wanted to see, so I watched it on Netflix. The movie stars Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes.
The film takes place after the events of Hurricane Katrina. It's about a police Seargant named Terence McDonagh (Nic Cage), who was just promoted to Lieutenant for rescuing a drowning man in a prison cell (the prison was flooded due to the Hurricane). After the prisoner's rescue, Terence suffered a serious back injury which would last for the rest of his life, so he was forced to get on medication, Vicodin, to help stop the pain. From there, he became addicted to painkillers, alcohol and drugs. Terence girlfriend Frankie (Eva Mendes) is also a prostitute and a drug addict.
They call Terence, "Bad Lieutenant" for a reason. Terence doesn't follow the law when busting people, he treats other criminals however he wanted. Whenever Terence caught other people with drugs, instead of arresting them, he'll do drugs with them and talk with them like a friend. There was this one scene in the film where he caught a guy making out with a prostitute in the alley ways. Instead of arresting them, Terence would make out with the prostitute in front of the guy. Later in the film, Terence ends up in a murder investigation.
I thought this was Nicolas Cage's best role in a long time. He really showed his acting talent in this one too. Warning though: Nic Cage plays an asshole like character through most of the film, he has a temper tantrum. I thought Nic Cage played the best asshole, he was actually kind of scary and it made you think, "Damn, you wouldn't want to mess with this guy". Plus, I thought the story to this movie was interesting. The plot was good. The film was entertaining as the film did had some really crazy scenes.
This is a film worth checking out for you Netflix users. Many people don't like Nic Cage too much but this is was his most realistic role, he was pretty serious in this film. Check it out. I was pretty impressed with the film.

Warm up games in hockey not only serve as an introduction to any good training, but they are essential to any practice session because they are a great way of preventing injury to your players by making sure their muscles are prepared for the physical strain of training.
These hockey warm up drills and games are also a fun way of getting your players switched on and thinking about the training and building or maintaining fitness. They can be used equally at the start of a training or towards the end as a cool down.

Don't Act Like He's Prince Charming
Wednesday, June 4, 2014 by admin
I get so tired of females looking like deer standing in front of high beams when they hear that their man is cheating on them. Do you wonder where he goes on the weekends? Do you wonder where he goes after the club? How many of your friends have to tell you that he's no good? But then the first thing you do when you find out is get mad at the female. Put the blame on your man. Especially if you're doing everything right on your end….tricks in the bed as well. Because guess what? I'm that female that won't feel sorry for you when the ish hits the fan. Some people are content with casual sex because sometimes love is for suckers. I'm just saying. Don't try to act like you're with Prince Charming. Especially when he's spreading his Lucky Charms all around town.

Вячеслав Антонович Светайло () — советский легкоатлет, специалист по метанию диска. Выступал на всесоюзном уровне в 1960-х и 1970-х годах, чемпион СССР, серебряный призёр Спартакиады народов СССР, победитель первенств всесоюзного и всероссийского значения. Представлял Ростов-на-Дону и Ленинград, Вооружённые силы.

Биография
Вячеслав Светайло родился 26 марта 1941 года. Занимался лёгкой атлетикой в Ростове-на-Дону и позднее в Ленинграде, выступал за Советскую Армию.

Впервые заявил о себе на всесоюзном уровне в сезоне 1965 года, когда на домашнем турнире в Ленинграде в зачёте метания диска показал результат 54,46 метра — тем самым вошёл в число сильнейших легкоатлетов СССР в данной дисциплине по итогам года.

В 1967 году на чемпионате страны в рамках IV летней Спартакиады народов СССР в Москве метнул диск на 56,44 метра и выиграл серебряную медаль, уступив лишь литовцу Витаутасу Ярасу.

В 1968 году на чемпионате СССР в Ленинакане с результатом 58,74 превзошёл всех соперников и завоевал золотую награду.

I will be running a test server as well that will be running very recent builds of https://github.com/fador/mineserver. This may or may not be updated multiple times a day.
The version of the server running will be in the motd, which will be the first few numbers of the latest github commit of this build.
The maps will get reset if it gets too crazy. Also I modified the source so everyone *should* be able to use commands like /give and /i to make testing better.

Film Review: Love & Mercy
Don't let the sun-drenched soundtrack fool you – Love and Mercy, a biopic about Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson and his battle with schizophrenia, is so much more than just a dreamy rose-tinted blast from the past.
Love and Mercy distinguishes itself by splitting its focus across two key periods of Wilson's life; we're first introduced to him in his 60's surf rock heyday (Paul Dano), and then later shown his subsequent struggles with depression in the late 80's (John Cusack). Both strands compliment one another perfectly, and delicately intertwine to form a touching and raw narrative that doesn't shy away from showing the musical genius at his lowest of ebbs.
Both Dano and Cusack bring notes of vulnerability, intelligence and humour to the role; the former, a misunderstood maverick who feels held back by his peers and the latter, a tormented husk surrounded by controlling hangers-on. Neither element feels totally underdeveloped or uninteresting; the film continually switches back and forth, showing how the two strands mirror one another and connect.
The only major difference was the supporting cast in each half; Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti both deliver amazing performances as 80's Wilson's lover and doctor respectively, but the same can't be said for those surrounding Dano in the early period of Wilson's life.
There are a band of four or five actors who play the other Beach Boys, but none of them are memorable or particularly influential. They fade in and out of the story, only serving to antagonise Brian and drive the plot forward. That being said, Bill Camp (who plays Brian's devious father) does deliver a good performance.
As I mentioned earlier, both Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti are great in this film. I haven't seen Banks in much else than Pitch Perfect and The Hunger Games, so it was cool to see her take on a role that was serious and demanded a range of emotion, rather than just providing comic-relief as someone like Effie.
Giamatti is the 'villain' of the piece, and his performance (I daresay) steals the show from guys like Cusack. He's just so detestable and infuriating, he makes you want to reach into the screen and strangle him.
The Verdict: 8/10
Heart-breaking, powerful and daring, Love and Mercy doesn't just phone in a run-of-the-mill biopic about one of America's defining rock 'n' roll artists; anchored by a quartet of brilliant performances, this is strong character piece that can educate newcomers and satisfy aficionados in equal measure.
Love and Mercy is playing in selected cinemas across Australia now. This review was originally published over at Hooked on Film, a Perth based website where you can find even more new release movie reviews, features, interviews and insight. Click here to check it out.

I keep hearing that this is good! I had no desire to even try and see this, but you (and some others) have certainly convinced me!

It's worth it! I hadn't heard much about it either, but it's crept onto my radar and I really loved it :)

Great review! I enjoyed this one too. I like what you said about the supporting players being stronger in Cusak's half. I don't think any of them were given the chance to be strong surrounding Dano. They weren't bad, but the 60's scenes were really all about Brian were the 80's ones had other people involved. Still, loved Dano in this.
Yeah, great point! :) Dano was great, but the 80's half was definitely stronger :)

Stepping away from evil
Unplanned recounts an activist's journey out of the abortion industry
by Bob Brown
Post Date: March 28, 2019 - Issue Date: April 13, 2019
The new movie Unplanned, based on the 2010 book by the same name, tells the gripping tale of former Planned Parenthood (PPFA) director Abby Johnson's pro-life conversion. Although some of its elements don't sit right, the film exposes anew the foul practices of the nation's leading abortion business.
Johnson's story: A belief she's helping women, she says, and ambition lead her from PPFA volunteer to director of the abortion center in Bryan, Texas. In a voiceover, Johnson (Ashley Bratcher), a churchgoer, claims she was "naïve." For example, she receives PPFA's 2008 "Employee of the Year" award but questions a directive to increase the number of abortions.
"Abortion has never been my priority," she informs her peers. The film underscores her good-heartedness.
Local pro-lifers befriend and pray for Johnson. After eight years with PPFA (and two abortions and a divorce), she assists in an abortion for the first time, she says. She watches as a "13-weeker" disappears from the ultrasound monitor, while bloody tissue gushes through tubes into a collection bottle. (The R-rated film has disturbing images and four expletives.) The horrible sight causes Johnson to run out of the building. (In a 2018 tweet, though, Johnson said she had "pieced together thousands of fetal parts after abortions.") She subsequently resigns, and later weeps for the 22,000 children who died under her watch.
It took courage to tell this story, and Bratcher gives a superbly moving performance. Still, some details—factual and dramatic—puzzled me. Johnson's staff is chipper, her workplace a lively atmosphere; I've been inside enough abortion centers to find this depiction peculiar. Johnson's parents and second husband denounce her day job yet praise her promotions—again, odd. The Christian pop soundtrack fits until Mandisa sings "Overcomer" during an extra-busy schedule of abortions hours before a hurricane hits. Perhaps the irony was intended.
In all, though, Planned Parenthood comes off as money-grubbing and heartless, so the film gets that right. Even better, Johnson learns that God forgives and redeems.

I saw this last night and was also very confused when Overcomer started playing at that particular moment. But overall this movie was well done, albeit intense and hard to watch.**
I read the book years ago and was amazed by Abby's story. It's easy to be desensitized to the horror of abortion or to be in denial, so I'm glad they made this movie and hope pro-lifers everywhere will support it and raise awareness about what Planned Parenthood is really doing.
**If you go, please be prepared. It depicts both a medical and chemical abortion in graphic detail.

This movie tells the truth about the evil underneath Planned Parenthood. All teens should see it.

I was moved many times in the movie and am grateful for Abby's courage and brokenness over this very grievous sin in our land. May God heal the pain in her life and use her for His glory as she stands for life.
The movie was very well done, and I pray it has a positive impact on our culture - that many will see it, that God will stir His people to stand for life, that pregnancy care centers across our country will be well-supported financially and bathed in prayer.
My wife and I pray regularly for several care centers in our life and region (including the Tiftarea Pregnancy Care Center, Jonesboro and Monroe County PCC, the Foothills PCC and their Clemson University outreach, and the Hope for the Family ministry in our hometown), and thank God for the increased burden to pray and support these ministries.

If we let it, Unplanned could change today's popular understanding of abortion the way that Uncle Tom's Cabin changed the mid-19th century's understanding of slavery. What you see on the screen will never leave you--moreover, the movie will motivate you to do more to end abortion. After seeing Unplanned twice last weekend with friends, my wife & I joined thousands of other pro-lifers in front of the State Capitol for the Virginia March for Life.

Q: Complex integration confusion I wish to compute $\int_{C}(x^2 - iy^2)dz$, where $C := \{z\mid |z|=1\}$  is positively oriented.
I am a bit confused on what $dz$ actually is.
I know I have $\int_{C}x^2dz - i\int_C y^2dz$, but I still need to know what $dz$ is so I can differentiate in terms of $x,y$. Or maybe I put $x,y$ in terms of $z$.
$z = x+iy$, so then $dz = (x+iy)dx,\; (z+iy)dy$?

So the definition of complex integration is:$$\int_{C}f(z)dz = \int_{C}(u+iv)(dx+idy)$$
$$ = \int_{C}(udx - vdy) + i\int_{C}(vdx + udy)$$ where $f(z)=x+iy$.
So how do we deal with the contour?

A: Parametrize $C$ by setting $z = e^{it}$, $0 \le t \le 2\pi$. Then $x = \cos t$, $y = \sin t$, and $$dz = dx + i\, dy = (-\sin t - i\cos t)\, dt.$$ Thus
\begin{align}\int_C (x^2 - iy^2)\, dz &= \int_0^{2\pi} (\cos^2 t - i\sin^2 t)(-\sin t - i\cos t)\, dt\\
& = \int_0^{2\pi} [-(\cos^2 t\sin t+\sin^2t \cos t) + i(\sin^3 t - \cos^3 t)]\, dt,\\
\end{align}
which I leave to you to compute.

Venue: The Spaces On The Mile @ Raddison
There's the strong feel of autobiography in this piece that covers themes from friendship, love, and the longing for a child. The script, by Lizzie Conrad Hughes (who also appears as the lead character) is charming and believable.
The direction, however, is too loose, too casual, and even when the well written arguments with believable dialogue are delivered, it feels more like recital than well rehearsed drama. "Love has to be natural", one character points out, not unjustly. It's a criticism that could be levelled at the production itself: it's all perfectly serviceable, but there seems to be a slight lack of focus. The four cast members are all charming enough, but for the most part, each performance is muted. Softly spoken and gently acted does not automatically equal realism.
Even in such a relatively small space, the dialogue is too often muffled or rushed. Of course this is an irritant particularly because it's such a simple fix, and while it's not fixed, it gives the concerning impression that the actors don't really realise the import of what they're saying. Another indication of this is a curious element of the text that's not exploited – a significant amount of the conversations, and turns in plot, are dictated by phone. It happens almost enough for it to be a sub-theme of the plot, but not quite enough for you to consider that it might be deliberate. Of course, this may be a weakness in the script (generally, phone conversations don't really work in fiction unless it's on screen, and not even then), but an level of inventiveness in the direction would surely have turned this into a – forgive us – talking point, rather than a drag on the narrative.
However. If this all sounds rather too harsh, that's because it is: this isn't a bad production, and there's lots of potential here. The script is realistic and believable, and we get to care about the characters. Timothy Randal is well cast as a charismatic and cocky lady's man who, as far as all his friends are concerned, is clearly gay, and Dewi Hughes impresses as David, Abi's husband, despite forcibly reminding one of Dylan Walsh from the series Nip/Tuck. Elena Popovici has a sweet charm, although she's required to deliver a somewhat unbelievable resolution to her storyline. One of the strongest elements to the production is the entirely believable arguments – which rock from anger to laughs, to affection, to bitterness and back to anger in the matter of a few minutes. Of course, this can be credited to writer Lizzie Conrad, who, as we've mentioned, also appears in the lead role. Her performance is unfussy and credible, not demanding sympathy, but eliciting it all the same.
