Q: Arrays: How to show difference in first and last elements of array and elements of array before a specified index? I'm stuck on the following parts:

*

*Show the difference between the first and last elements of the array

*How to show the elements of the array before a specified index in this program ?
Description of the problem:
Write a program that makes an array of 25 random integers each from 3 to 7 (use your function randint() to generate these numbers), and includes all the aspects below.
Your program

*

*Declares the array in the main (you are not allowed to use global variables!),

*Initializes the above array to random values 3 to 7 using your randint() function

*And then calls the functions with the provided prototypes below!

For this, you MUST write the function definitions for the prototypes provided below:
void showArray ( int a[ ], int size );      // shows the array in the format "int a [ ] = { 3, 7, 4, ... ,5, 6, 3, 4, 7 } "
void showReverse ( int a[ ], int size );    // shows the array in reverse using the format "int a [ ] = { 7, 4, 3, 6, 5, ... , 4, 7, 3 } "
int  lowest ( int a[ ], int size );         // finds and returns the lowest value in the array (should be 7)
int  highest ( int a[ ], int size );        // finds and returns the highest value in the array (should be 3)
int  sumArray ( int a[ ], int size );       // calculates and returns the sum of all values in the array
float averageVal ( int a[ ], int size );    // calculates and returns the average of all values in the array

int count5 ( int a[ ], int size );           // returns how many times the number 5 appears in the array
int firstMinusLast ( int a[ ], int size );   // returns the difference between the First Array Element - Last Array Element
void showBeforeIndex( int a [ ], int size, int index);  // shows all array values before a specified index
void done ( );                   // a function that shows the message "I am now done with CSS1! :)
int randint(int min, int max);   // a function that returns a random integer between min and max

Here is my code I have so far --how do I do the array for showing the difference between the first and last array elements and the way to determine show the elements of the array before a specified index (for example, index 3)?

#include <time.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

void showArray ( int a[ ], int size ); // shows the array in the format "int a [ ] = { 3, 7, 4, ... ,5, 6, 3, 4, 7 } "

void showReverse ( int a[ ], int size );
int  lowest ( int a[ ], int size );
int highest ( int a[ ], int size );
int  sumArray ( int a[ ], int size );
float averageVal ( int a[ ], int size );
int count5 ( int a[ ], int size );                              // returns how many times the number 5 appears in the array
int firstMinusLast ( int a[ ], int size );                      // returns the difference between the First Array Element - Last Array Element
void showBeforeIndex( int a [ ], int size, int index);          // shows all array values before a specified index
void done ();
int randint(int min, int max);                                  // a function that returns a random integer between min and max

int main ()
{
    srand((int)time(NULL));
    int i = 0;
    const int size = 25; // size variable for arrays
    int randint[size], lowest, highest;

    cout << "Making an array of 25 random integers from 3 to 7!\n";
    cout << "\n";
    cout << "Original array a [ ] = {";

    for(i; i < size; i++)
    {
        randint[i] = 3 + rand () % 5; // random number between 3 to 7
    }

     showArray(randint, size); // pass the array and its SIZE to function
     cout << "}\n";

    // Reversed array
     // One way to reverse an array is to swap the first and last value,
    // then swap the second and second-to-last value,
    // then swap the third and third-to-last value, and so on...
    cout << "\n" << "Reversed array a [ ] = { ";

    int j = size-1; // initialize j to the last index
    i = 0;  // set i to the beginning index (i.e. index 0)

    while( i <= j)  // keep loop until i and j cross over
    {
        std::swap(randint[i], randint[j]); // swap the values at i-th and j-th index
        i++; // move i forwards
        j--; // move j backwards
    }

    showReverse(randint, size);
    cout << "}\n";

    lowest=randint[0];
    highest=randint[0];

    for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
    {

            lowest=randint[i];

            highest=randint[i];
    }

    cout<<"\nLowest value is : "<<lowest <<"\n";
    cout<<"\nHighest value is : "<<highest <<"\n";

    int sum=0;

            counter++;

A: Your question is quite chaotic and includes pieces of code which are not needed. One thing I can point out however, is that your functions for summing up and averaging the elements of the array seem to have been somehow merged with main().
Please separate them and only invoke them in main(). (Note that you can use the function for summing to calculate the average).
Regarding your first question, you can calculate the difference between the first and last elements of an array like so:
int firstMinusLast(int a[], int size)
{
    return(a[0] - a[size-1]);
}

since the first element always bears the index zero and the index of the last element has to be provided anyway.
To show the elements of an array before a specified index, you need to loop through them until your index reaches the specified value:
void ShowBeforeIndex(int a[], int size, int index)
{
    for(int Ix = 0; Ix < index; Ix++)
        cout << a[Ix] << " ";
}

Note that the size need not be specified as long as you trust the user to invoke the function with a correct index.

CBS apparently was of the opinion that their viewers would rather see "The Price Is Right" rather than the end of trump's emergency speech.
Their attempt and desire to control the narrative is failing and most Americans have become skeptical of the major networks because of their clear bias. There does not exist a non-conservative source for any of this, simply because it's another lie the GOPerLords have ordered their base to keep repeating so they will come to believe it, and just as Dr Goebbels predicted, IT WORKED.
Where are the Walter Conkrite's of the news business? Simply report the news and let the people decide for themselves.
Instead the networks are attempting to tell people what to think. Only Fox and the rest of the RW Propaganda Ministry does this, the actual news media reports the truth, which is why the GOPerLords told their base to call the MSM reporting "lies". Worked for Hitler, so definately what Republicans are looking for.
It seems to be working on the lemmings of the left...Only one leading anyone over a cliff is lil donny, and only ones following are the GOPer base.

Unlike the lies Trump and the Republicans spin aboutnon-white immigrants, there's no need to "believe" this, the statistics PROVE those undocumented workers are LESS likely to commit a crime than a Natural born American.
But that is a FACT, so it will have no part in the Republican thought(sic) process.
Olderscout-No wonder Republicans still support lil donny - they have lost all contact with reality.
I know if there was travel funded by a lobbiest it would be reported in the real media so since it wasn't, it never happened to the Dems you refer to.
I also know lil donny's hotels charge for all the security people and staff that accompany him on these trips, and his kids are currently being charged with FRAUD for the exorbinant rates they charged people to stay at Trump properties all during the Campaign and for the inaugural.
Its all about the ratings isnt it? Trump speeches are a LOSER.

Lib Dems vow to repeal Article 50 if party wins power
Updated / Sunday, 15 Sep 2019 22:50
The Liberal Democrats has cast itself as the only 'Stop Brexit' party
The Liberal Democrats party has toughened its anti-Brexit stance, formally adopting a policy to cancel leaving the European Union if it wins power at a national election in Britain.
The party holds just 18 seats in Britain's 650-seat parliament but has cast itself as the only 'Stop Brexit' party, hoping to pick up votes from the 16 million who voted to remain in the EU in 2016 and win enough seats to form what would be an unprecedented Liberal Democrat government.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised to leave the EU on 31 October with or without a Brexit deal.
But the policy has divided his own Conservative party, costing him his majority in parliament and making an early general election likely.
The Liberal Democrats party conference this afternoon voted to formally adopt a policy to revoke the 'Article 50' notice filed in March 2017 which notified the EU of Britain's intention to quit the bloc.
This would effectively cancel Brexit.
The decision underlines how Brexit is reshaping the country's political spectrum, with the pro-EU Liberal Democrats now at the opposite end to the pro-Brexit Conservatives.
In 2010 the two formed a coalition government that lasted five years.
As a party which has never won more than 62 seats at an election, the prospect of party leader Jo Swinson forming a government is a long way off, even though British politics is at its most unpredictable juncture in decades.
Two different polls on Sunday put them 21 and eight points behind the Conservatives, and also trailing the opposition Labour Party.
Mr Johnson wants to call an election before the next scheduled one in 2022, but has so far been blocked by opponents, including the Liberal Democrats, who say they first want to make sure he cannot take Britain out of the EU without an exit deal next month.

Meanwhile, Mr Johnson has said Britain will break out of the European Union's "manacles" like The Incredible Hulk if a Brexit deal cannot be struck by the end of next month.
In an interview with the Mail On Sunday, Mr Johnson - who will meet European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Luxembourg tomorrow - likened Britain to the fictional scientist Bruce Banner, who transforms into the monstrous green Hulk when he is angry in the Marvel superhero comics and movies.
"Banner might be bound in manacles, but when provoked he would explode out of them...
"Hulk always escaped, no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be - and that is the case for this country. We will come out on October 31 and we will get it done."
Mr Johnson said that a "huge amount of progress is being made".
He said: "I will be talking to Jean-Claude about how we're going to do it. I'm very confident.
"When I got this job everybody was saying there can be absolutely no change to the Withdrawal Agreement, the backstop was immutable, the arrangements by which the UK was kept locked in to the EU forever, they said no-one could change that.
"They have already moved off that and, as you know, there's a very, very good conversation going on about how to address the issues of the Northern Irish border. A huge amount of progress is being made."
Mr Johnson, accompanied by Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay and Brexit negotiator David Frost, will also meet the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier during the Luxembourg visit.
However, Downing Street has cautioned that tomorrow's meetings will not be a "big breakthrough" moment in the government's bid to strike a deal with Brussels.
Ahead of the trip, Mr Johnson added: "Don't be fooled by [Labour leader Jeremy] Corbyn and the ringleaders. On the one hand, they say I don't want a deal.
"On the other, they want to force me to extend. Both are wrong. I am straining to get a deal, but I will also end the uncertainty and take us out on the October 31."
Mr Barclay said earlier this morning that Britain is making progress towards a Brexit deal but significant work remains to be done.
"There's been a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes. We can see a landing zone in terms of a future deal but there is significant work still to do," Mr Barclay said.
On Mr Johnson's comments that Britain will break out of EU like The Incredible Hulk, Mr Barclay said: "The Hulk was a winner and was extremely popular and I'd rather be backing a character and a leader who is The Hulk rather than one who is on the chicken run as Jeremy Corbyn is."
Britain's Home Secretary Priti Patel said the UK has to leave the EU with a deal at the end of next month.
Speaking on BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show, she said: "We have to leave and we have to leave with a deal on October 31st, and there's no point right now trying to prejudge the discussions that are taking place."
Meanwhile, Sam Gyimah, the former Tory minister who defected to the Liberal Democrats, said the Conservative Party no longer stood for "liberal values".
Speaking on Sky News, he said it "became very clear" during the Tory leadership contest, which he stood in, that there were not enough moderate MPs left in the party.
He was later sacked for rebelling to vote take a no-deal Brexit off the table.
"It has done something unprecedented - it has withdrawn the whip from moderate MPs," Mr Gyimah said.
"The stark reality is that I had to face up to the fact that the Tory Party is in a different place.
"If I want to stand up for liberal values, then the Conservative Party is no longer the place to do that."

If you really want to understand what the Self is, like your self, just grab a few of old scrapbooks or photobooks and look through them. Of course you will see yourself grow older physically, but probably you can also see yourself grow psychologically and perhaps even spiritually, or at least change. But what I am pointing out here is what you surround yourself with, what we could call your "persona." Our person changes too, and what makes up our persona over the years can give us a glimpse of what the self is like, how it changes as we change not only by years, but by taste and style.
If we could have a stop-motion video of all our self-changes, it would be a kaleidoscopic montage of who thought we were (or wanted to be) over the years. We would see how our self changed with the seasons of our life. It is very instructional. Looking through a couple of old photobooks is enough to give us a picture of how the self is constantly constructed and deconstructed as our interests and whims change.
We can see at a glance who we were or thought we were at various times in our life, but then ask yourself: through all of that, who are you? It may be that you find that you are all those phases and also none of them at the same time. This is what the Buddhist are trying to point out when they say that the Self is not permanent.
The Buddhists say that of course we all have a self, but they also point out that our self has no permanent existence, but just like our old photobooks, it is made up of the all of our attachments, good and bad, and whatever events we identify with as time goes on. And it changes as we change and along with the seasons of our life.
What we identify with, and the process of identification, is key here, and it's a clue to who we are. It is not so much what we identify with or are attached to, but rather the process of identification that we have look at.
As we examine and scrutinize our self, we can become aware of our like or love affair with our own self, but we also can begin to see that we have created it out of whole cloth and then personally animated it. As we realize this, we can begin to see through the self like seeing the wizard behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz, only it's us back there. We are the wizard behind the curtain of our own self. But there is something else.
As we understand how the self actually works, it begins to wear thin and we gradually lose the attractions that make the self up in the first place, one by one. The things themselves that make up the self don't change or vanish, but our attachment to them does. In some sense the self gradually becomes more and more transparent. We begin to see through it, and what is most important, we begin to not identify with it as strongly as we once did. And here is the key point.
As the self becomes transparent and we see through it more and more, we start to become aware of what is behind and beyond our self, which is the mind itself and its nature. We begin to transfer our identification with our self on to the mind itself in its awareness. As this happens, we become less and less interested in our self, and less selfish as well.
It is a question that we all must ask: if we no longer identify with the Self, what do we identify with, and who are we? What replaces our identification with ourselves? What weakens is our attachment to what we call the self, not our life or even it circumstances. Sure, our self will undergo change as we may select a somewhat new persona or as I have, in my life, kind of try to let my self down easy.
Certainly there is nothing to spurn or be ashamed of in ourselves; I don't feel any. And my innate selfishness has not just up and gone away, but it has weakened and most of all I have developed a sense of humor about it that was never there before. I like myself still, but am not fooled by it as I once was or even very interested in it or its ministerings. Over the course of time I have re-identified with what I can only call my awareness, certainly something beyond my self, and it was always there but just obscured by my attachemt to the self, much like the Moon eclipses the Sun.
I call this re-identification "transmigration" and it is a gradual process. Like the old game of Pick-Up-Sticks, as I increasingly see through parts of my self and they fall away, the true nature of my mind, who or what I actually am comes into focus, and is clearer.
The take-away here, at least for me, is this process of identification that takes place, as we remove handhold after handhold from identification with the self and begin to experience a freedom from attachment never felt before. And, so I am told, that freedom from attachment eventually becomes the realization of the true nature of the mind.
How about them apples? Any comments?

BHA names Seven Samurai Chef finalists for Japan food trip
20 January 2016 by Hannah Thompson
The British Hospitality Association has announced the seven chefs flying to Japan for an eight-day culinary trip, having been named finalists in the BHA and All Nippon Airlines (ANA) Seven Samurai Chefs contest.
Each finalist, from across some of the most prestigious venues in the UK and Ireland, was chosen for the creativity and finesse in their entries, as judged by the panel which included co-owner of D&D London, David Loewi, head chef at Nobu Park Lane, Hideki Maeda, and Japanese chef Yuki Gomi of Yuki's Kitchen in southeast London.
The finalists have now travelled to Japan and are set to learn key methods in the country's cuisine and discover more about the country's old and new culture.
Following the trip, one of the chefs will be offered the opportunity to collaborate with the catering team of contest partner and five-star Japanese airline, ANA, to create a light meal for the company's Winter 2016 Business Class menus on the London to Toyko route.
While in Japan, each of the seven finalists will also have the chance to learn cooking techniques from chef Sadakatsu Matsuura, with the view to bringing them back to the UK. The itinerary will also cover the production methods behind delicacies such as soy sauce, along with visits to celebrated food markets and restaurants in Tokyo, Osaka, Toba and Kyoto.
Yutaka Ito, ANA senior vice-president, EMEA and general manager, London, said the quality of entries had impressed the judging panel and had brought a high level of innovation to the contest.
Commenting on the finalists, Ufi Ibrahim, chief executive of the British Hospitality Association, said: "We're committed to nurturing and growing the best of British culinary talent. This competition is part of that commitment and offers a unique chance for up-and-coming chefs to expand their knowledge and skills in one of the world's greatest culinary arts."
Gomi added: "It was really exciting to see the variety and range of talents from the chefs, which I am sure will continue to evolve during their adventures and culinary experiences in Japan."

Nobody better say "you hit like a girl" to the members of this year's Central McLean Midget football players. Especially three of them – or they'll show you how hard a girl can really hit.
Those three are the three female members of this year's midget football team, sixth-grader Anna Skachenko and fifth-graders Daphne Lauer and Irie Irwin.
The Midgets' coaches can remember seeing a couple of the guy players cry last season, but so far none of the girls have cried after taking a hard hit.
Actually, they're ready to take whatever type of hit their teammates can dish out – just as long as they're ready to get it right back.
She especially likes it when she gets to go up against her older brother, Von.

Atiku confirms N50m donation to Obasanjo, accuses Buhari govt of attempt to silence ex-president
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration was desperately looking for ways to implicate ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and silence him.
Atiku made the claim while confirming that his son-inlaw, Babalele Abdullahi donated the sum of N50m to Obasanjo's Presidential Library.
In a statement issued by his Media Office, the former Vice President insisted that his son-in-law made the contribution in full compliance of the law.
He also condemned the inclusion of Obasanjo's name in the list of tax defaulters by the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, stressing that the move was to blackmail the former President.
The statement reads: "The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is feeding members of the media with deliberate falsehoods in an attempt to cause disaffection and bad blood between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his former deputy, Atiku Abubakar, on one hand, and between former President Obasanjo and Nigerians in general.
"For the avoidance of doubt, Mallam Babalele Abdullahi, Atiku Abubakar's son-in-law, did not donate any money in cash to the Olusegun Obasanjo Library. Yes, he did facilitate a donation of fifty million naira to the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, but so did many other individuals, including civic-minded traditional rulers, state Governors, bankers and captains of industry.
"This is because the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library is a non-governmental organisation that plays a pivotal role in promoting peace and stability in Nigeria, and that should be applauded.
"Another past leader, who did not improve himself or Nigeria after leaving office, but sat down nursing grudges and plotting revenge, former President Olusegun Obasanjo improved himself and Nigeria by authoring books, founding international think tanks and engaging in peace and capacity building efforts.
"Donations to institutions set up to promote peace in Nigeria and Africa are to be commended, not criminalised. Presidential libraries in America and other parts of the world are similarly funded by donations from civic-minded individuals.
''For the avoidance of doubt, Mallam Abdullahi's donation of fifty million naira was made via a bank transfer, in full compliance with the law. He did not donate or make any payment in cash, as the EFCC is erroneously and salaciously misleading the public. Furthermore, the sources of these funds are completely legitimate and have been conclusively proven to the EFCC. It is instructive to note that even the EFCC has not once claimed these funds to be the proceeds of any illegal activity whatsoever.
"The truth is that there is desperation on the part of the current administration to rope in former President Olusegun Obasanjo into a crime as a way of silencing his voice, which they see as the preeminent critical voice against the misrule that they have foisted on Nigerians.
"This is why they asked the Federal Inland Revenue Service to falsely and libelously include his name in a published list of tax evaders, along with the names of other Peoples Democratic Party sympathisers, such as prominent international singer and pride of Nigeria, Davido, who played a prominent role in PDP's gubernatorial campaign in Osun state, for which he is being punished.''

Jerry Uelsmann's photography has been an ongoing controversy between reality and superficial. Critics say that he has altered the language, the substance, and the direction of art. Critics also believe that a photograph is to have meaning and to look at Uelsmann's photographs they seem to have no meaning or several meanings all combined into one. Uelsmann tends to let his own imagination and love for the art show through his photographs. Consequently, Uelsmann has won many awards including the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1967 and the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1972. Furthermore, he is part of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, one of the founding members of the American Society for Photographic Education, and a board member of the Friends of Photography. Although Uelsmann has been highly criticized his work of art seems to capture the imagination and inspiration of many devoted followers.
In addition to his numerous awards and achievements Uelsmann's work has been exhibited in more than 100 individual shows across the globe. He has managed to have his photographs appear as a permanent collection in various museums worldwide. He has an abundant amount of books displaying his work of art. His books increasingly capture his audience into their own realm of a superficial cradle of humanity. Jerry Uelsmann has managed to brake and surpass the barriers of traditional photography.
Jerry Uelsmann is developing a new style of photography all together. His photographs and talent never cease to amaze me. The most interesting part of Uelsmann's photography is that the images are mostly produced in the darkroom. Uelsmann's landscape photographs do not necessarily document the reality but it is literally perceived approach that he tries to show us. His reconstruction of images always makes you take a second look. Uelsmann's photographs remind me of the painter Salvador Dali because the pictures are so mysterious yet so real.

CMOs are seemingly in a constant state of flux: As recruiting firms like Spencer Stuart and Russell Reynolds track, there is frequent turnover in the post at companies. CMO tenure currently hovers at around 44 months, according to Spencer Stuart. Accomplished marketing leaders regularly make headlines moving to new companies. Just this quarter alone, according to Russell Reynolds, CMOs like Carla Hassan and Don Lane have assumed new roles at Citi and Saucony, respectively, and there have been several others.
But the movement, the transition, builds CMOs' expertise and experience such that they bring the best and most innovative perspective and strengths to bear. It also is happening at a time when the CMO role itself continues to evolve in new and complex ways, and new people with diverse educational and career backgrounds are assuming the top post--redefining the role as they live it.
The latest case of this and a unique study in that transition is Dara Treseder. Announced today, Treseder, an alumna of Apple and most recently CMO of GE Ventures and GE Business Innovations, is joining 3D printing company Carbon as CMO. A Millennial herself—she's 30—Treseder is the young company's first-ever CMO, charged with building the brand as the company moves to its next stage of development. In fact, the goal is to establish Carbon as a sort of ingredient brand that increasingly becomes the preferred choice of discriminating consumers—those, particularly younger consumers, who care about the impact the manufacturing of their products has on the environment.
Dara Treseder, CMO of Carbon.
Treseder, named to the inaugural Forbes CMO Next list in September—one of the 50 marketing chiefs who are, indeed, redefining the role and shaping the future—was leading marketing at GE Ventures, a division of GE based in Silicon Valley, for a year and a half; in that role, she had provided marketing advice to a portfolio of 100-plus GE-invested companies, such as startup AiRXOS managing manned and unmanned air traffic. She also was CMO for GE Business Innovations, licensing GE technology to develop partner businesses. Prior to that she spent three years at Apple leading marketing strategy for FileMaker and the iPhone.
Beyond partnering with Adidas to create the AlphaEdge 4D, which won an award at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, Carbon has partnerships with Johnson & Johnson for surgical products and Vitamix to produce a core part in their blender. The company has also worked with automotive manufacturers and has a large presence in the dental industry.


Dating after divorce can be frustrating. While you might remember what dating was like before your marriage, the men you meet after divorce are in a different ballpark—if, they are even in the game. Among them, those who are truly viable, you'll find a differing assortment of good and bad. The problem is if you haven't dated in twenty years, you have little context by which to compare the good against the bad.
As well, and far more interesting is the fact that you've grown—not only in age but as a result of your divorce. You've learned the only way to really appreciate the nuances of the goodies and the baddies (beyond and between the simple profiles offered below) is to dip your toes into those dating waters and to bear a few things in mind.
Dating after divorce is a wonderful way to experience life anew. But don't take your dates too seriously. Instead of looking outward for the "One" or "The Only," invest in having fun and getting your bearings. We caution you about jumping into another long-term, committed relationship.
If you are open to the idea of dating after divorce, though, we've prepared the following cheat sheet on the five types of men you might meet so you can be prepared. While we know there are a lot of great men out there, we also know there is truth in jest.
This guy is cheap—and we're not saying cheap as in he's not picking up the tab for the date (feminism means splitting the bill, right?). No, he's the extreme sense of squeak—frugal with money and his time, and, sometimes, even his emotions. He'll seem attractive at first because he's elusive, and when he shares, he sounds so sensible. He believes in equality, "partnership," and the mutual sharing of finances. But after a few early bird-dinners where he's pulled out his calculator (not on his phone, but from his pocket), or your needing to negotiate his penciling you in on a Wednesday, next month, his mystery fades.
He distrusts people, and for that reason, he is loathe to invest. Are you up to the task of teaching him you are deserving and worthy?
Read about him here, because chances are you'll never get a word in edgewise when you meet (your next?) Monologist. This is the type whose internet profile leads with his professional title . . . "Lawyer," "CFO," "Surfer." In person, there is never any awkward silence because he fills the air sharing about himself. When you start to chime in, then dare to add a thought, you'll suddenly be corrected (a mixed bag, because at last he's heard you and you're rather touched but then chastened). The word you chose to enunciate is not right. No, let him explain. And more mansplaining takes place.
Been there. But you are working on your capacity for compassion. So you let the leash run and run—to make sure he's not as egregious as he seems. He can't be. He is.
Out on the street you tell him, it was lovely meeting but you don't think it's going to work out. Call you crazy, but you'd like a companion who asks you about yourself.
Ah, Sweet Bird of Youth! Whether he's actually younger than you, or just at heart, his energy and attitude are so refreshing. It's exhilarating to be with someone who's positive, who's au courante with happenings, and who thinks you're cool enough, too.
Peter Pan knows the latest, latest. His fingers fly quickly across his smartphone, showing you the video of the next place you should go, you must go, it's this club where this band he loves is playing! Peter Pan takes you to a bar where, as you look around, you notice there are only young people. Very young people who know him very well. A couple of nubile beauties sidle up to Peter Pan, and he looks at you as if to brag. You watch his arms slide comfortably around them. He's their mascot. He's either their seasoned, slightly older social director, or he's their tired, tragic mascot. You are trying to decide which, when he offers to get you a drink and take you backstage "to meet the kids." You're excited because you get to use a word you've just learned, "Nolo." And out the door you gogo.
There's a reason this guy is so on the pulse to what's young—he's never grown up.
It's also why he might be divorced. And if not, if he's never been married, ask him if he's big into video games.
This guy is committed. He's really really pro-commitment. He's looking for a "LTR" (a long-term relationship) he tells you, more than once. He seems in love with the idea of being paired-up, and you (without his knowing the least thing about you) are perfect for him.
At first, Mr. PP seems amazing because he's so into you—he'll hang on your every word. He'll even listen, with that latter part making you swoon. But soon, he'll declare, to you, to the universe, how amazing it is that you and he are exactly alike.
You are open, curious, but cautious, checking him and the situation out.
This guy, on the other hand, has already plugged you into a life he created a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
If this guy is below 40, he wants desperately to be married, for whatever ambitious, personal or cultural reasons.
We think we can all agree that if you were interviewing for a job, it would be good to know the salary and benefits paid.
Little by little, this guy seems like the complete package—Mr. Darcy is sensible, proud, and yet, capable of cutting loose. An added boon is that he treats you with respect. He makes you feel feminine. Special somehow. But he doesn't tell you everything about himself that first night. He actually asks you questions as a way of deflecting your questions you pose to him.
The Mr. Darcys of the world have been burned in the past and may come off as overly cautious or guarded. Maybe he's been divorced, too. Maybe his best friend betrayed him, or maybe his Ex betrayed him with his best friend? This guy has so many walls up, you might not actually be sure he likes you until he breaks down and confesses all his thoughts, his feelings in a gushing romantic speech many dates later.
Maybe. Or maybe you just saw that scene on Netflix.
However, there may be just enough there to keep you wondering. You are not certain, but you think you might give this guy another date, if only because you know one thing sure about yourself. You absolutely stand with and for second chances.
If you have the ability to have these experiences and muse with your girlfriends, then, each of these encounters was worth its weight in wine. On the other hand, you may not meet any of these men. Any which way, our experience with women after divorce suggests, it's important to be mindful of OUR desire to couple up. Too often that "need" leads the show and can blind us from seeing who is really seated across the table. We encourage you to cultivate your particular perspective, to balance the desire to get out there again with the opportunity it is for you to look at yourself.
And by the way, our vote would go for Mr. Darcy. He's the most promising according to the book.

> "Everest, a Cockpit and Antarctica"
This review is by Julie Bunting, and was published originally in The Peak Advertiser, the Peak District's local free newspaper, on 20th September 2004, and is reproduced with Julie's kind permission.
Sheila Dyson is up there with the best of our local heroines. This is her story of three magnificent achievements, fulfilling the almost unthinkable dreams which helped her rebuild her life following the death of her much loved husband, Cyril.
Living on the edge of the Peak District, the Dysons had shared a passion for the outdoors, climbing and hill walking. One of their favourite places was Stanage Edge, where after only a few years of marriage the still young Sheila was to scatter Cyril's ashes.
Her therapy for coping with bereavement began with long slogs in the Peak, then came running and fell races. But this was not enough. Already affected by an unhappy childhood and highly perceptive about the early shaping of her personality, Sheila made a vow to help her deal with the pain and rage of widowhood. She would live out her three dearest dreams: to see Mount Everest, learn to fly an aeroplane and make an epic journey to Antarctica.
She decided to start with Everest - 'just like that' comes to mind. Typically, there is only one mention of 'the bunion' which must have been hard to ignore on an exhausting climb to the summit of the highest trekking peak in Nepal.
Learning to fly came next, leading to a share in an aeroplane, purchased within two hours of receiving her Private Pilot's Licence. Sheila doesn't even do impulse buys by halves. No matter that the craft had a firmly masculine personality, an inclination towards bungee landings and challenges of its own.
In her late forties Sheila set out to conquer dream number three, signing up for an expedition to climb the highest mountain in Antarctica. Again it was the Peak District which provided her with the fine training routes needed to get fit and it was in Hathersage where she bought her gear.
The illustrated story of how this apparently most unworldly woman achieved her heart's desires and came to terms with loss is inspirational. Writing a book, by the way, is the first leg of her second triple Odyssey - one down and two to go.

A French Quarter Experience
{gallery}lodinews{/gallery}
I've never been to the French Quarter, New Orleans or the South, for that matter. When I think about what it would be like, Dixieland music plays in my head, over pictures of local girls doing the chicken dance in the street and little kids eating a "po' boy" for the first time.
Of course, I don't really even know what a "po' boy" is, just that a friend didn't make it back to Lodi with those New Orleans seafood sandwiches in her carry-on, like she had planned.
I imagine a mug of Cafe Du Monde made by people who know what chickory is supposed to taste like. I imagine lots of smiling, sun-warmed, wrinkled faces on banjo-toting locals who sit under awnings on streets that smell like barbecue. I imagine free-roaming chickens and fireflies at dusk.
And, so clearly, I imagine the crepes. Some so decadent. Some salty. Each so perfect.
When I visited Miracle Mile's Midtown Creperie & Cafe for the first time, I arrived with a few expectations. I knew a restaurant that prides itself on bringing the taste of the French Quarter to Stockton would have a little bit to share. After all, so many Louisiana-goers have touted the greatness of the beignets, but I only had an assumption that they were fried dough. I also expected to leave extremely satisfied.
I was not disappointed in either area.
Creperie owner Matthew Grizzle greeted us with a smile after taking a lunchtime order from customers seated at little tables outside. The restaurant was busy, with both diners and workers. On one side of the small eatery, are tables and chairs. Opposite them in the only kitchen that is wide-open for the view and simple, with just enough room for a cook to balance between the two round crepe grills.
The small space was intentional. A businessman at heart, who has owned a photography company and cell phone stores, Grizzle didn't want to do what a lot of restaurants mistakenly do and try to master everything. Grizzle wanted to keep it simple, to master one key product: the crepe. After many visits to the South and after enjoying his fair share of the French entree or dessert, he opened Stockton's own — and now only — creperie.
The small space also works in their favor — and the customers', really — because a lack of storage space requires the restaurant to get deliveries of fresh food daily. Bread is delivered from Geneva Bakery every day except Wednesdays, and Grizzle says the top-of-the-line Graffeo Coffee is shipped to Midtown Creperie almost as fast as it's roasted and sealed.
Slightly embarrassed, I admitted to Grizzle that not only have I never had a beignet, I didn't really understand what it was. A few minutes later, four fried squares of dough, not unlike donuts, arrived in a basket on the table. They were airy, hot to the touch and covered in soft powdered sugar. I tore off a corner, dipped it in the hot Ghirardelli chocolate sauce and took a bite. Just lovely.
We still had to choose between the menu's new salads, sweet crepes and savory crepes.
Like so many others who have visited this restaurant — only opened months — we finished off a savory crepe, the Neutral Ground ($8.95), loaded with asparagus, avocado, spinach, onions, sun-dried tomato pesto and cheese. The thin crepe — we chose the traditional one, though buckwheat and gluten free are available — was folded into a quarter of its size and filled with the perfectly cooked asparagus that mingled well with the other fresh ingredients.
It didn't take long before vowing to return for another savory crepe, including the Bayou (ham or turkey, cheese, sun-ripened tomatoes, dijon mustard cream sauce), another favorite Vieux Carre (chicken, asparagus and mushrooms in a cream sauce), Seventh Ward (smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, sour cream, capers and chives) and a Carnival, a crepe you fill on your own.
It was the King Cake ($6), though, the popular dessert crepe, that made us hold the bite in our mouths and pause while we recomposed ourselves. A mound of whipped cream and colorful sprinkles smothered a crepe stuffed with cream cheese, apples and candied sugar. On top of that was a naked toy baby to keep with New Orleans tradition — whomever picks up the baby gets to pay for the next meal.
Tasting the savory sweetness, along with the mixing of warm crepe and cool whipped cream, I was curious about the other dessert crepes. They're tempting enough to make you consider going back the next day: Soc Au Lait ($5.50; nutella and whipped cream), Dixieland (fresh strawberries in a cream filling and Ghirardelli Chocolate sauce), Whodat? (chocolate and caramel with whipped cream), Goompa (Grand Marnier, lemon juice, butter, sugar and an orange slice), praline (pralines with brown sugar glaze and whipped cream) and Crepe Brulee (made with a Hungarian crepe and filled with peaches or apples, candied nuts, caramel sauce and whipped cream).
While crepes are definitely the most popular items, the menu also includes fresh salads, breakfast crepes and omelets. In the upcoming months, Grizzle plans to add a few other staple New Orleans eats, like those famous Po' Boy sandwiches, typically fried seafood on Louisiana French bread.

Los niveles están claramente representados como escenarios en las series de Looney Tunes, desde los más clásicos desiertos calurosos hasta escenarios totalmente nuevos, como la tierra fantasmal. En uno de los últimos niveles, uno de los círculos de la Meta (donde se debe poner la oveja) está pintado en una vela de un barco. Ralph tira la oveja con un cañón y la manda a través de la tela, superando así el nivel.

Marvin el Marciano rompe el techo del estudio, se baja de su nave y le empieza a recriminar a Ralph que una oveja negra llegó hasta el planeta X y destruyó su depósito de marcianos instantáneos concentrados en líquido, por lo que su ejército se esparce. Es responsabilidad ahora de Ralph arreglar los daños, Marvin lleva a Ralph a su planeta para resolver este problema, este nivel es el nivel final o nivel bonus.

With altered dynamics, added talent and strong leadership the girls' basketball team has excelled this season, with a current 8-2 record. The team is propelling forward in hopes of winning the central league game, and have done everything in order to achieve this goal so far.
Senior Katie Faith is leading the girls as one of the captains and seasoned players this year. Faith started her basketball journeys in elementary school playing for the Paoli Wildcats team.
"Basketball has always been in my family," Faith said "My mom and grandpa played, so I started early in fourth grade, and ever since then I've just loved it. Now being captain, for me it's not just about the sport, it's about keeping that structure but also being someone the team can come to for other advice or just how to run a play."
However, Faith isn't the only one with extensive basketball experience. Sophomore Marisa Francione has been playing since second grade and is adding further development to the team as an underclassmen. This season, she secured the win against Haverford by scoring the winning shot in triple overtime with one second left on the clock. Along with this triumph, she helped greatly in the team's victory against Lower Merion earlier in the season.
"Last year we lost against Lower Merion to end our season, so this year we made sure not to lose to them," Francione said. "On the court, I kept thinking of last year and had 20 points that game which I think helped really secure the win that day."
Along with Francione, freshman Janie Preston displays fresh talent on the team this year throughout the season. Along with being the tallest member and only freshman on the varsity team, she carries skills that have taken the team one step forward. Captain Kate Galica expresses her feelings towards Janie's addition to the team this year.
"Experience is huge in a team sport in high school and having talented freshmen definitely is a plus because it adds to that experience," Galica said. "Janie is a great player because not only is she tall — which varies our team more since our team has been short in basketball terms for many years — she also is very easy to coach and is just so willing to learn that she picks up on all the plays so easily."
Despite the skill Preston has displayed on the court this year, switching from middle to high school athletics poses its challenges. However, coach AJ Thompson describes Preston's experience with adjusting.
"Every freshman that comes into varsity their first year has it very difficult and Janie didn't get to play her last year in middle school because of COVID. So for her to come in and step in as the only freshman on the team with big plays and big minutes, she's done a nice job and been a big help for us," Thompson said.
Along with the added talent, changes from last year bridge greater progress this year for the team. Thompson feels that the dynamic shift from last year has had a positive impact this season which he hopes to see the effects of till the end of this season to end strong.
"When we were dealing with COVID last year, we had to keep our JV and varsity team separated, but I usually like to keep them together. Even though it's a little easier to practice separately, it doesn't build a program. The younger girls don't get a chance to get to know the older girls," Thompson said. "But this year that has been better since we've had practices together which has made the team stronger altogether and we hope to carry that forward until the Central League match."

State Of The Union: Let's Talk About Indiana
Many years ago, my mother took a long journey through the Midwest before coming to the East Coast, and I'm following that adventure musically, beginning this week in Indiana.
I love good metalcore. This is good metalcore. There's the expected drop tuning and back and forth between clean and unclean vocals, but there's also a poetic nature to Authors, an exposure of the tandem nature of slam poetry and punk rock. Because Authors make metalcore that is punk rock. They take their genre work to the next level by pulling in unexpected moments of direct contact with the listener, and this ensures that you'll stay in the palm of their hands.
Brought By Giants
Let's start with the piano intro in "A Safer Place," and talk about haunting. There's a chasm between scary and haunting, and where some post hardcore bands like to go for the former, Brought By Giants capture the latter, ensuring that their music sticks with you. Instead of simply being the demon that chases after you, Brought By Giants becomes the ghost in the shadows that follows you silently home.
Sudden Suspension
The visuals for Sudden Suspension's album Second Place is like a sequel to Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American, and the classic emo nods serve somewhat the same idea. And yeah, there's the cliche desire to leave this town, but there's the skill and musicality to back it up. It's emo music you can dance happily to, not a pity party but a rallying cry.
Lost Years
Before pop punk became a caricature of itself, there were bands like Lost Years. Bands that made punk music with a pop mentality. Fast paced guitars, darkness battling light, lyrics that beg to be chanted and screamed at the top of your lungs. Lost Years make music that gets back to the point of pop punk, and warrants the defense of the genre.
Want a female-fronted pop punk band that doesn't fall into any of the tropes of a female-fronted pop punk band? Here's Quote Unquote, a band which garners no comparisons in the best possible way-- there's nothing derivative about this band, Tori Roper's crystalline voice has no predecessor, and the musicianship doesn't rely on the expectations of the audience. The self-titled album is a journey that needs to be experienced, a promise for great things in the future.

Q: Sending Tab and Enter Keys with WebDriverJS This seems kinda basic but it has been giving me nothing but trouble.  I have a  UL LI list that I have styled as tabs.  When I test in  browser when I click and give focus to the second tab then click the TAB key on the keyboard and enter it gives focus to the 3rd tab and selects it.
I am trying to simulate this using WebDriverJS  with the following coffeescript code in my test using  chai, onecolor, etc.  The part is that giving me the problem is with I can get all normal characters to go fine but none of the special characters seems to work in my sauce labs selenium using this documentation JSON WIRE PROTOCOL.  The implementation I am using is from http://webdriver.io/ and the tests are running in https://saucelabs.com/.
  it 'tab key and enter works', (done) ->
    @timeout 10000
    @driver.waitFor '.tab.active', 10000, =>
      @driver.addValue '.tab:nth-child(2)', ['U+E004', 'U+E007'], (err) =>
        @driver.getElementCssProperty 'css selector', '.tab:nth-child(3)', 'background-color', (err, backgroundColor) =>
          @driver.getElementCssProperty 'css selector', '.tab:nth-child(3)', 'color', (err, color) =>
            onecolor('#ffffff').cssa().should.equal backgroundColor
            onecolor('#000000').cssa().should.equal color
            done()

A: You can use all kinds of unicode characters. To do so you need to set the name of the key as input value (case sensitive). For example:
client.addValue('.tab:nth-child(2)',['Tab','Enter']) // press TAB + ENTER

or
client.addValue('.tab:nth-child(2)',['Meta','c']) // copy text into clipboard

If you don't want to link the keypress action to any input field you can use the keys protocol command to do this action:
client.keys(['Meta','c'])

Wits scores its art museum
What do you do with 9 000 pieces of art? You build a 5 000m² museum and put them on glorious display, of course.
This is exactly what Wits University is doing, in a dream come true for the custodians of this extraordinary art collection. That dream has been in the making since 2005 and is to be called the Wits Art Museum (WAM), previously the Wits Art Galleries.
And where better to put it than in the university's cultural precinct on East Campus, at the former University Corner, on the corner of Jan Smuts Avenue and Jorissen Street in Braamfontein. It is here that the university's theatres are located, as is the digital arts department.
The senior curator of WAM, Julia Charlton, says Wits has managed to raise R38,5-million for phase one of the project, which began last week. It involves the conversion of three buildings, and is due to open in April 2011. The full project will cost R68-million.
WAM will take up several floors, with an entrance from the converted old Shell Garage on University Corner.
"Upon completion, the museum will have six world-class exhibition areas, research and teaching facilities, museum storage facilities, prime ancillary and commercial event space and administrative and support facilities," says Charlton.
"Future phases will depend on continued progress to raise the additional funding for display furnishing and equipment, the upgrade of the facade and foyer, and expansion of the art and culture precinct."
Of the 5 000m2 space, 60 percent will be for storage of the art, leaving 2 000m2 for display space, seminar rooms and workshops. Students will make use of WAM, using it as a library but also learning the practical skill of curating their own art.
The best home
The WAM ball was set rolling in 2003 when a space analysis was done, helping to locate the best home on campus for the museum. Then a competition was held to select a design team to design the museum. Once this was done, it was possible to approach donors, which began in 2006. It took three-and-a-half years to raising the funds for phase one.
Wits University itself began the fundraising with a healthy donation of R10-million. Other major donors are Linda Givon, Rick and Caroline Menell, the CJ Petrow Foundation, and artist William Kentridge, who donated a work that was auctioned. Large and small anonymous donors have made valuable contributions.
"It's amazing that people are willing to finance this," says Charlton. "Seeing the scaffolding going up has re-invigorated the donors."
Wits' art collections go back to the 1920s, when the anthropology department starting collecting African art pieces for its ethnography teaching. It consists of some of Africa's rarest and finest artworks.
Its fine art collection began in the 1950s, with works collected for teaching purposes. In 1972, the late art collector Gertrude Posel donated money to the university to be used for acquiring contemporary art.
The university opened its first art gallery in Senate House in the early 1970s, in the space today occupied by the concourse coffee shop. Two further small galleries were added nearby, one created from money left by Posel. Their works are the core of what will make up the content of WAM.
"Wits was the first in South Africa to collect African art objects not merely for their ethnographic interest but more importantly for their aesthetic value. Wits was likewise the first in South Africa to include African art in its teaching programme, in 1977," explains Charlton.
Since 1978, the university and Standard Bank have collaborated in acquiring art. With a budget supplied by the bank, Wits has undertaken to buy and administer the African art collection, at the same time using it for education. The collection is then jointly owned by both institutions.
In the same year, a generous donation was made to Wits by the late gallery owner, Vittorino Meneghelli. A purchasing grant from Wits goes towards acquiring contemporary art, but other sources are from donations, artists themselves and a range of other organisations.
Art history syllabus
Charlton says the acquisitions are determined by what the art history syllabus prescribes. But there's another factor - because Wits is not a commercial enterprise, it can "buy against the grain".
Art is collected from south, north, west and central Africa; a smaller portion comes from east Africa. The biggest segment of the collection is from South Africa. Works are bought from auctions, galleries and other sources, like Congolese dealers, who know what the university is looking for.
It loans a lot of work out to other institutions, such as Museum Africa, the Johannesburg Art Gallery and the Iziko South Africa National Gallery in Cape Town.
But it makes the art available on campus as well. The Wits Art and Literature Experience in 2009 asked for pieces to be showcased as part of the festival. When its Institute for Social and Economic Research or other departments hold symposiums and seminars, an art exhibition often accompanies the proceedings.
"The collections provide a powerful basis for offering the public an unrivalled experience of African art. Wits has prioritised the need to optimise the experience through the establishment of the Wits Art Museum, and in particular to achieve the vision of contributing to a common sense of nationhood through art," says Wits the vice-chancellor and principal, Loyiso Nongxa.

Krzymów ( Hanseberg) ist ein Dorf der Gemeinde Chojna (Königsberg in der Neumark) im Powiat Gryfiński (Greifenhagen) der polnischen Woiwodschaft Westpommern.

Geographische Lage
Der Ort  liegt  in  der Neumark, etwa sieben Kilometer  nordwestlich von  Königsberg in der Neumark (Chojna)  und etwa 14 Kilometer südöstlich von Schwedt/Oder.

Geschichte
Die Ortschaft hieß 1270 Crimowe, 1332 Hansberg und 1608 Hanßbergk.

Als Besitzer des Rittergutes Hanseberg (Hanszbergk) wird 1332 ein Ritter  Hennig von  Sydow genannt; 1439 war der Rat von Königsberg (Chojna) dort begütert. Im 17. Jahrhundert erscheinen Daniel von Strauss (1628), Adam von Strauß (1640) und Georg von Horcker (1646) als Besitzer des Gutes. Horcker veräußerte es 1694 an den kurfürstlich-brandenburgischen Obristwachtmeister Adam Wilhelm von Sydow, dessen Familien es bis 1748 behielt. Nach verschiedenen Besitzwechseln gelangte das Gut, das zwischenzeitlich kurz durch Tausch an den preußischen Staatskanzler Karl August von Hardenberg gelangt war, 1816 durch Kauf an den in der Mittel- und Uckermark begüterten  Kaufmann Johann Heinrich Neumann (1769–1849), der gleichzeitig das zum Rittergut gehörende Vorwerk Amalienhof (Krzymówek) und das Rittergut Peetzig an der Oder erwarb. Er wurde am 13. Oktober 1840 in den erblichen Adelsstand erhoben. Anderen Quellen zufolge, hier den bekannten Gothaischen Genealogischen Taschenbücher, fand die Nobilitierung am 15. Oktober 1840 statt.

Um 1850 umfasste der Landbesitz des  Ritterguts Hanseberg mit dem Vorwerk Amalienhof unter Ausschluss der Hofflächen und bebauten Grundstücke über 4212 Morgen, davon waren 1018 Morgen Wald und 80 Morgen Seen. Nach dem Tod Johann Heinrich von Neumanns  kam durch dessen Sohn Johann Heinrich Eduard von Neumann (1800–1877) zudem 1850 das nordwestlich von Peetzig gelegene Rittergut Raduhn zu Hanseberg. In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts erstreckte sich der Besitz von Hanseberg auf über 14.794 Magdeburger Morgen.

1824 entstand das heute verlassene Wohnhaus des Gutes, während die weitläufigen, nun verfallenden Wirtschaftsgebäude spätestens in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtet wurden, ebenso wie die Gebäude der Güter von Peetzig und Raduhn. Im 1879 erstmals publizierten Generaladressbuch der Ritterguts- und Gutsbesitzer im Königreich Preußen werden für das Rittergut Hanseberg der Familie von Neumann 1245 ha aufgeführt. Gutsherr jener Zeit war Adalbert von Neumann (1839–1911), Regierungsassessor und Rittmeister der Landwehr. Seine Frau Margarete entstammte der Familie von Bethmann-Hollweg-Hohenfinow (1858–1943), sie wär die älteste Schwester des Reichskanzlers Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg. Die Gutserbe der von Neumann-Hanseberg, Sohn Heinrich, geht in Vorbereitung seiner Aufgaben zuerst auf das Gymnasium in der Kreisstadt Königsberg (Neumark) und dann seit 1907 auf die dem Landadel altehrwürdige Ritterakademie auf der Dominsel in Brandenburg a. H. Danach folgt ein Studium. Heinrich von Neumann-Hanseberg (1893–1972) wird Offizier im 3. Garde-Ulanen-Regiment Potsdam, heiratet zweimal, zuerst Elisabeth von Printz, dann Anne Luise von Winterfeldt (1894–1934). Im Zeitraum der großen Wirtschaftskrise, die auch die ganze Land- und Forstwirtschaft traf, hatte das Rittergut Hanseberg eine Größe von 1313 ha Land. In den Ställen stehen 1300 Schafe und 400 Schweine, also eine relativ große landwirtschaftliche Einheit. Zum Besitz gehört ebenso das Rittergut Peetzig mit 1249 ha. Das letztmals zeitgleich veröffentlichte Landwirtschaftliche Adressbuch der Provinz Brandenburg führt im Ort Hanseberg noch das 23 ha kleine Gut der Familie Wilhelm Moritz auf.

Gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs besetzte im  Frühjahr 1945 die Rote Armee die Region. Bald danach wurde der Kreis Greifenhagen zusammen mit östlich der Oder liegenden Teilen des Gebiets des Deutschen Reichs von der Sowjetunion unter polnische Verwaltung gestellt. Im Dorf Hanseberg begann nun die Zuwanderung polnischer Zivilisten. Soweit die Einwohner nicht geflohen waren, wurden sie in der darauf folgenden Zeit vertrieben.

Frederic Chopin, celebrated pianist and probably the greatest composer for the piano the world has ever known, was born in a little cottage in Poland on the estate of the Count Skarbek, whose children were tutored by Chopin'sfather, Nicolas. Chopinloved music from babyhood, and when the family moved to Warsaw a few years after his birth, he was placed under the tutelage of the best masters of music in Poland. His astounding performance, playing the solo part of a difficult concerto with the full Warsaw orchestra, when only nine years of age marked little Frederic as the genius he was. Through the early years to that momentous day in Vienna when his playing at the theatre of Count Gallenburg actually launched his career as a major figure in the world of music, Frederic Chopin s childhood and boyhood are dramatically presented. Chopin, Son of Poland, Later Years completes the great man s life story."
Eye-catching illustrations, engaging text and delightful musical selections on the accompanying 70-minute CD lead children ages 8 to 12 (and parents, too!) on an exciting and educational tour through the instruments and music of the orchestra. Illustrated in exquisite and colorful detail with over 100 original drawings and photographs, this package is a fun and exciting musical journey for children.
The engaging text is broken into three sections: an introduction to each instrument of the orchestra from the cello to the timpani, the stories of famous composers from Bach to Stravinsky and an explanation of different musical styles from Baroque to Modern. Each step of the way, children can listen to actual musical examples of what they are learning about. Young readers will hear the sound of an actual violin as they study the instrument and enjoy the playful tune of a Mozart minuet as they read about the composer's precocious exploits as a child.
The life of the celebrated composer is related by Mozart himself in a first-person narrative complemented by vibrant illustrations. "Readers are treated to a succession of sumptuous visual images, accompanied by an absorbing story line. . . . A winner in every way".--Publishers Weekly. Full color.

Ethiopia suffers severe drought and famine. The Ethiopian government responded by uprooting large numbers of peasants in the worst affected areas and by setting up new villages for the displaced people. However, the planned villages were frequently poorly equipped and many people chose to flee rather than acquiesce with government plans leading to further decline in food production and bringing the total death toll to over 1 million.

South Korea: Number of coronavirus (COVID-49) cases surges February 22 /update 5
Government reports significant rise in number of cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) on February 22; further spread likely
South Korean officials announced on Saturday, February 22, that 229 new cases have been confirmed, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 433. The surge in cases are linked to a hospital in Cheongdo and a religious group in Daegu (North Gyeongsang province). Daegu and Cheongdo have been designated as "special care zones" on Friday, February 21.
According to media reports on Thursday, residents in Daegu are largely staying indoors as a precaution. Media reports have indicated that authorities have told residents of Daegu to stay at home. Public facilities including hospitals, restaurants, and kindergartens, as well as business may therefore be closed. The "2020 Daegu Super Concert" event scheduled in Daegu on Sunday, March 8, has also been canceled. Further business disruptions are anticipated, as the virus is expected to spread in the coming days and weeks.
South Korean carrier Asiana Airlines announced on Wednesday, February 12, that it will reduce service to China until March 28. The government is also advising Korean nationals to refrain from traveling to China, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Cases of the virus have been confirmed in 31 countries and territories worldwide. Virus-screening and quarantining measures are being implemented at airports worldwide, as well as extensive travel restrictions. On February 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the COVID-19 outbreak is a "very grave threat."
Individuals in North Gyeongsang province are advised to monitor the situation, anticipate further business disruptions, and adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
To reduce the general risk of transmission, travelers are advised to abide the following measures:
Frequently clean hands by using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water
When coughing and sneezing cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue - throw tissue away immediately and wash hands
If you have fever, cough, and difficulty breathing seek medical care early and share previous travel history with your health care provider
Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities and their home governments
In the case that symptoms suggestive of respiratory illness emerge either during or after travel, individuals are encouraged to seek medical attention and share their travel history with their health care provider. Travelers returning from China who develop symptoms of pneumonia are advised to call emergency services before going to the doctor or hospital to avoid potential spread of the disease.
