Fast bowler Craig Alexander ended with three for 52 as the hosts fell from their overnight 186 for five to 246 all out on the last morning.
CAPE TOWN – Fast bowler Craig Alexander claimed three of the five remaining wickets to wrap up a convincing 186-run win for the Highveld Lions over four-day domestic series leaders, the Cape Cobras on the final day of their clash in Paarl on Thursday.
The fast bowler ended with three for 52 as the hosts fell from their overnight 186 for five to 246 all out on the last morning.
There were also three-fours from spinners Bjorn Fortuin (3/37) and Aaron Phangiso (3/77) in a solid overall performance from the Lions that inflicted a first loss of the campaign on the Cobras.
Defeat overshadowed another good display by Pieter Malan, who recorded his third century of the season by making 101 (235 balls, 13 fours), while young all-rounder Jason Smith did his reputation no harm as he struck 74 (132 balls, eight-fours).
The pair's performances apart, it was a disappointing effort from the home side with the bat, considering their efforts so far this season – their poor 1st innings display where they were bowled out for 138 contributed significantly to the loss at Boland Park.
The Cobras remain at the summit of the four-day table with the Lions jumping to second for now.


Jan Bombek came to the United States 18 months ago to play football, and the next stop for the 6-foot-4, 255-pound German defensive lineman is CSU.
Bombek gave Colorado State University coach Mike Bobo and his staff a verbal commitment Monday that he made public Tuesday evening on Twitter. He plans to sign with CSU next month and start classes in January so he can participate in spring practices to get ready to play next fall.
Bombek's father played on a club football team but wouldn't let his son play the game until he turned 16. Bombek joined a club team in Hamburg, Germany, and played two seasons while he was in high school. He also played on the national team for his father's native country, Austria, on a team that won the 2014 European championship. Austria beat Germany and many of Bombek's club teammates in the title game.
Bombek has been a standout defensive lineman the past two seasons at Feather River College in Quincy, California. He was in on 27 tackles this season, including eight for lost yardage and 2 ½ quarterback sacks. As a freshman, he was in on 38 tackles, including five sacks, and forced two fumbles.
Bombeck said he sent emails to "every Division I school in the country" seeking a college football scholarship while he was in high school. None offered. So then he started sending emails to junior colleges. Again, none offered scholarships, but a handful of schools in California, including Feather River, told him he was welcome to come play for them as a walk-on.
Bombeck said he'll make his official recruiting visit to CSU this weekend.
CSU coach Mike Bobo said Sunday night that defensive coordinator Marty English would retire after whatever bowl game the Rams play in this year. Bombek, the second JUCO defensive lineman to commit to the Rams in as many days, said he's confident Bobo will find a good replacement.
Damion Dickens, a 6-2, 250-pound defensive end at Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Mississippi, gave the Rams a verbal commitment Monday. Nahe Sulunga, a defensive end from Calabasas (California) High School, said last week he was re-opening his recruitment after originally committing to CSU in August.
Bombek and Dickens bring the number of players known to have given CSU verbal commitments for its 2018 signing class to 21.
Recruits can begin signing letters of intent with the Rams during a new early signing period Dec. 20-22 or during the regular period that begins Feb. 7, national signing day.
Bobo and others at CSU cannot comment on specific recruits until they have signed financial-aid agreements or letters of intent.

"Yeah, I hope I can make a difference," Han Li said, looking into the distance.
The Xiyang patriarch quickly brought people, nearly a thousand ancient books, and some jade slips and other things, including books, jade slip and other things seem to be rare.
There seem to be few people in the gray lizard who seem to like to read books. These books have not been preserved. Many of them are covered with dust and even many damages.
The Xiyang patriarch was quite embarrassed and apologized again and again. Han Li naturally did not care about these small things, and soon let the other party retreat.
These ancient books are very complicated, and the two are trying to understand the gray world from all aspects.
On the second day, the gray lizard began to move forward, but made some adjustments in the direction of advancement.
Han Li has always been in the patriarch's account, did not leave in one step, maintaining a sense of distance between the nobles, while carefully studying those ancient books.
The two seem to be two sponges ordinary, madly absorbing all the information about the gray world.
Time flies, more than three years passed in a blink of an eye.
After a long road, the Grey Lizard finally arrived at the destination, Lake Baling.
The Baling Lake is located in the central part of Prairie in June. It is large in size and has tens of thousands of miles. It is named after a special crystal stone and a wave stone.
"This is the wave of Lake!" Han Li and the stone pierced the empty account and looked at the huge lake in front.
The water in the wave lake is extremely clear, and a few scattered white birds slowly swim on the lake, bursting into the breeze, and the waves of the lake are undulating.
Han Li took a deep breath. In addition to the seemingly monotonous color of the lake, the scenery is rare and gives a feeling of openness, which looks like some of the vast lakes of Immortal Boundary.
A burst of moist aura rushed to the surface, and the spirit of the people was shocked.
On a huge flat on the south side of the lake, there is a lot of people gathering at the moment, although there is still a time since the holding of Gathering in Tamuda, but most ethnic groups have arrived.
A white cloud suddenly flew and stopped in front of the lizard.
Above the white clouds stood a few white silhouettes wearing white robes, these people are human bird heads, the bone eyes are bright, flashing the road crystal.
The white robes on them are of extraordinary quality, and they are embroidered with various patterns. They are shining and contrasting with the costumes of the grey lizards, which is ten times better.
When a tall young aura huge, it has reached the level of True Immortal.
This person has no feathers on his face, his cheeks are smooth, and the facial features are quite close to the human form, but the nose is still a little long, and the booth eyes are somewhat sunken, giving a feeling of cold and arrogance.
"You are the gray lizards?" The tall young man's eyes swept the gray lizards and spoke, with a condescending tone.
"In the next gray lizard Xiyan, I have seen Miao Zun." Xi Yan hurried out and went to the tall young man for a ceremony, apparently knowing this person.
"Xi Feng, who is this person?" Han Li asked a gray lizard outside the account and asked.
This person is an Integration Realm Elder of the Grey Lizard, and the patriarch of the Feng Xiuyan came to wait for this to explain the many things on Gathering for Han Li.
"The two exalted Immortal, who is called Miao Kui, is a law enforcement ambassador under the leadership of San Miao." Evangelo Elder respectfully said.
"It turned out that the three Miao lords, it is no wonder that the show is so big." Han Li smiled a little, did not think.
"It's only two months from Gathering in Tamuda. It's really early for you to come from the grey lizards. The good location on the venue has been taken up by other tribes." The tall young man looked at Xi Yan and said faintly. .
"What, only two months? But according to past practice, Gathering should have at least a year to start?" Xi Yan chief changed his face and lost his voice.
In order not to affect the order of Tameda Gathering, the place where the various families are stationed, and the location in the trading area are all pre-defined, one-to-one correspondence.
If you are stationed, you won't care, but the location of the trading area will have a big impact on the sale.
"The Lord of the Lord has orders, this time Gathering is held in advance, how, the order of the Lord's adults still need to ask for your opinion?" Gaoda Youth sneered, said.
"Don't dare, don't dare to say anything, but also ask Miao Zun to be blame. This is some small meaning, please please accept it and give us a better position for the gray lizards." Xi Yan chief hurriedly apologized.
Between the conversations, he stepped forward and took out a black pouch and stuffed it into the hands of a tall young man.
The tall young Spiritual Sense swept the bag, and the look was a little loose.
"Good places have been occupied by people. So, no one in Twenty's second district will give you the gray lizards." The tall young man took out a white jade token and threw it at Xiyan.
"Thank you for your respect." Xi Yan looked slightly loose, took the jade token, and smiled.
The tall young man waved his hand and the white cloud group rays of light flashed and roared away.
Xiyan looks at a few people leaving, sighed in a low voice, waved with the gray lizard, went in one direction, and soon came to the designated station.
This place is not too far behind, but it is not a good place. One group after another is arranged in front, and the position of the lizard is very inconspicuous.
In the big account, Han Li and Shi through the sky looked toward the surrounding ethnic groups.
The ethnic groups here are different in form, but they let the two open their eyes.
The ethnic group that has arrived has two thirty.
Moreover, the size of these ethnic groups in the vicinity is quite large. Both the number of people and the expert within the family are above the gray lizards. Most of the ethnic groups have true Immortal Realm.
In contrast, the gray lizards are much weaker.
Han Li smiled a little and didn't care. He turned his eyes and looked at another huge open space by the lake.
There are also a number of areas, each with a booth, filled with various items, it seems to be the place of sale and trade of all ethnic groups.
Numerous figures walked around and were very lively.
Han Li's eyes lit up, and the stone pierced the sky and looked at it.
The team of the grey lizards suddenly stopped, and another team suddenly appeared in front and blocked the road.
"Hey, isn't this the patriarch of Xiuyan? I haven't seen it for more than a hundred years. How do you still have only such a person? It seems that there is no development at all. The four-sided gray lizards of Megatron were really unsuccessful. , really…tut tut." A shrill sound sounded, and a middle-aged ugly man with scales in front of the team.
Big man cheeks are long and deep, but the nose is very flat, and the nose eyes are slender and look very ugly.
Although this person is ugly, the cultivation base has reached the true Immortal Realm. Although it is only the True Immortal Early Stage, it is stronger than the entire Grey Lizard.
"Yun Zhao, how do I have a lizard, have a What relationship with you, and let the road go!" Xi Yan face ugly, cold voice.
"Hehe, how can you say it doesn't matter, when you and my booth race are good competitors, you guys like this, it really makes me embarrassed." Middle-aged big man is full of ridicule, does not mean to open.
Xi Yan's face is blue, but it's not a word.
The nearby ethnic groups saw the situation here, and they all looked over. No one came forward to discourage them. Instead, they mostly looked at the excitement and rejoice in other people's misfortunes.
"Xi Feng, who is this person?" Han Li asked slowly in the big account.
"禀Exalted Immortal, the man is the python patriarch Yun Zhan, the python family and our ash lizard had some battles because of a mineral, and they had a feud. This person must report every time, Tamuta Gathering will Come over and find 茬." Xifeng face is also extremely ugly, said.
"Just rely on the strength of your grey lizards, and dare to fight with them?" Han Li wonders.
"This…not Exalted Immortal, the ceremonial base of the yam is also the cultivation base of the real Immortal Realm, and there are two Great Ascension Elders in the Grey Lizard, just a few hundred years ago, my family was subjected to an extremely powerful real Immortal Realm. The gray beast attacked, the two Great Ascension Elder die, the patriarch also suffered serious injuries. Although the rescue came over, the strength was greatly damaged and fell to the Great Ascension Stage. Otherwise, the gray lizards will fall into the present situation." Xifeng is red. Face, argue.
"Oh, this way." Han Li nodded slightly.
When Han Li spoke to Xifeng, the python patriarch was still in front and did not let it go.
"Yuan Zhao, I am too lazy to make a squabble with you today. Thameda Gathering is hosted by the Three Miao Lord. You deliberately block here, not letting my family enter the game, is it not to take the order of the three Miao lords? Xi Yan took a deep breath and said slowly.
"The elders of the Xiuyan made this statement, and they dared to violate the life of the three Miao lords. But they met the acquaintances and came over to say hello. Why did the Xiyang patriarch refuse to be a thousand miles away? Could it be that the trifling is under?" Yun Zhao heard the name of the three seed lords, and the face was slightly condensed, then he laughed.
Nearby people who watched the lively crowd also heard a lot of laughter and pointed at the gray lizards.
"You…" Xi Yan looked shameful.
The gray lizards are all ugly.
Han Li saw this scene and his face sank.
Han Li glanced at Xifeng and turned and walked inside.
Xifeng's face suddenly became pale. If Han Li didn't care about it, then the gray lizard could really lose face today.
"Xi Yan, I will arrange things all the time. I have no time to spend time with you and some ridiculous people." Han Li sat down in the account and said.
Although his voice is not big, he reverberates around like a thunder, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone in the neighborhood heard this, and some people with great knowledge gathered up the ridicule.
Yun Zhao's brow is also a wrinkle.
"Cloud call, let the road go, I have something to do, no time to fight with you here." Xi Yan turned to look at Yun Zhao, coldly said, in the momentum and attitude and before the two.
"Oh, some people will immediately strengthen themselves when they support them. It's a very good dog. You really invited someone, so let's call it out, let's have a look at it, how many pounds are there!" Yun Zhao's eyes flashed Moved, and soon the face was sneer again, looking to the big account.
Some people with flexible minds in the vicinity heard this and couldn't help but sneak in the clouds and shamelessly, and even wanted to drag everyone down.

Was Hrolfr Granger Rollo?
Mar	30	2010	Published by lars under Denmark,Listener Question,Norman Centuries,Normans,Norway,Origins,Rollo,Vikings
Listener Eric asked if there was any truth to the medieval rumor that the legendary Hrolfr Granger- a man so enormous that no horse could support his weight- was actually Rollo of Normandy.
Believe it or not this was a question of such fierce debate in the early 20th century that it spilled into national newspapers and became the subject of several angry diatribes. 1911 was the 1,000th year anniversary of the founding of Normandy and there was much Scandinavian pride in this native son made good. The trouble was that no one was exactly sure where Rollo came from and both Denmark and Norway claimed him. Norway especially was proud of its distinct national character (they had just broken away from Sweden in 1905) and wasn't about to let Denmark steal their thunder.
What made the argument particularly fierce is that there is so little reliable information about Rollo's origins. The earliest source (Richer of Reims- circa 996) gives Rollo a Danish origin, but he makes no distinction between any Vikings, referring to all of them as Danes. Where exactly each roving band of raiders originated was not that important to those who had to fend them off. The Norse sagas on the other hand (circa 12th century) all claim that Rollo (whom they call Hrolfr Granger) was from Norway as does the French Chronicon de gestis Normannorum and the Welsh Historia Gruffud vab Kenan. The Normans themselves were split on the subject. Dudo of St. Quentin (1030) gave Rollo a Danish father while Geoffrey Malaterra (1090) gave him a Norwegian one.
The truth unfortunately is that we will probably never have conclusive proof either way. I tend to think that the Norse account of Hrolfr Granger contains a healthy dose of legend but that it can loosely be connected to Rollo. The medieval sources, when they bothered to distinguish between different groups of Vikings, usually came down on the side of a Norwegian ancestry. Hardly an airtight case, but most likely the best we can do.
Were the Byzantines responsible for the Renaissance?
Mar	29	2010	Published by lars under 12 Byzantine Rulers,Byzantine,Listener Question,Renaissance
Chrysoloras
Listener Gerardo asked if the Renaissance can really be attributed to Byzantium's influence. I think it's going too far to say that Byzantine émigrés caused the Renaissance, but they certainly shaped it. Western Europe was rediscovering its classical past and was fascinated especially by ancient Greece when Byzantine figures like Pletho, Chrysoloras and Cydones arrived. They acted as a catalyst to a movement already underway, tutoring some of the earliest figures of the Renaissance. The study of Greek- which had died out in medieval Europe- was re-introduced and the West was re-acquainted with the giants of Greek learning. The Renaissance would undoubtedly have occurred without these direct Byzantine influences, but it would have been much poorer for the absence.
Who was the last emperor to visit Rome?
Mar	27	2010	Published by lars under 12 Byzantine Rulers,Byzantine,Emperor,Listener Question,Roman history
Listener Allison asked which emperor had the distinction of being the last Roman sovereign to set foot in the ancient capital city. It was the uninspiring John VIII who visited in 1423 to beg for help against the Ottoman Turks. His stay in the Eternal City was quite a contrast from the previous imperial visit. That had been in 663 when the emperor Constans II had visited for 12 days. Despite a stay of less than two weeks, Constans managed to annoy the entire population by stripping everything of value (including the bronze from the roof of the Pantheon) to fund his war against the Arabs. Rumor had it that his tax collectors were so severe that husbands were sold into slavery and wives were forced into prostitution to meet the sums demanded. Fortunately for John VIII, seven centuries tend to dim those kind of memories. He was given a warm welcome and Renaissance artists, taken by his exotic dress left several realistic portraits. Thanks to that Roman trip, he remains the one Byzantine emperor to be realistically painted- a notoriety he certainly didn't deserve!
Who was the last Roman Consul?
Mar	27	2010	Published by lars under 12 Byzantine Rulers,Byzantine,Consul,Listener Question,Lost to the West,Roman history
Listener John asked when exactly the office of the Consul died out. The Consulship was the highest office in Republican Rome, dating back to the hazy days in the sixth century BC when the last Etruscan King was expelled from the city. The two elected Consuls held most of the powers of a king, and dates were calculated from the start of their terms. With the rise of the empire, however, it became a largely symbolic office, and was mostly awarded by emperors to themselves. Its prestige was further diminished when later rulers started conferring it on imperial children (Caligula didn't help matters when he announced that he was nominating his horse) and by the time of Justinian in the sixth century it was allowed to lapse from its yearly appointment. The last politician to hold it was a man with the impressive name of Anicius Faustus Albinus Basilius in 541 (that's a picture of him at the top). He had the misfortune to be in Rome when Totilla and the Goths stormed it, and was forced to flee with his Consular robe into obscurity. That wasn't quite the end of the office, however. It continued to exist as part of the coronation ceremony for another century. The last recorded emperor to receive the dignity was Justinian II who combined the Consulate with the office of Emperor. From then on the title seems to have been forgotten until the tenth century when the emperor Leo the Wise officially abolished it.
Who preserved classical learning- the Byzantines or the Muslims?
Mar	25	2010	Published by lars under Byzantine,Lost to the West,Muslim,Reader Question,Renaissance
Reader Kevin asked this question and it's one that I get a lot. The Islamic contribution to scientific learning is an important one and is widely taught in schools. They played a vital role both in the advancement of science and in its transmission to the West, specifically through Spain. What is frequently overlooked, however, is the Byzantine underpinnings of that achievement. Unlike the West where the pagan aspects of the classical past made it taboo, the East viewed it as inseparable from Christian society. The fourth century Church father Basil of Caesarea summed up the Byzantine position neatly in a pamphlet he wrote called 'To Young Men, On How They Might Derive Profit from Pagan Literature'. The classical world, in other words, was a treasure trove to be mined- though with extreme caution. This is not to say that the Byzantines continued the Greek spirit of inquiry full bore, merely that they preserved the Greek legacy more or less intact. After the initial shock of Islamic conquest, when it became apparent that the empire wasn't going to be swept away, relations with the rising Caliphate became more stable, allowing a cultural exchange. The Arabic world absorbed Greek learning and improved on it, pushing the frontiers of medicine and science during the brilliant High Caliphate. Those advances in learning fully belong to Arab genius, but they couldn't have been accomplished without the preserved texts or tutors and scholars to translate them. These were all ultimately provided by Byzantium.
The empire played a similar catalyst role in the Renaissance. Byzantine émigrés traveled to the West and re-introduced the study of Greek classics, tutoring luminaries like Petrarch and Boccaccio in the process. Cosimo Medici was even so impressed by a lecture on Plato from a Byzantine scholar named Pletho, that he restarted the Academy in Florence. Obviously both the Renaissance and the Arab Enlightenment pushed the frontiers of knowledge in ways that were independent of Byzantium, but neither would have been possible without Byzantine pens.
Were the Normans Vikings?
Mar	24	2010	Published by admin under French,Listener Question,Norman Centuries,Normans,Uncategorized,Vikings
Listener Bruce from Ohio asked about the background of the Normans. Can they really be considered Vikings? The answer- as is so often the case with history- is yes and no. The Normans were indeed descended from Scandinavian stock and the term 'Norman' comes from 'northmen' which was the French term for the Vikings. Rollo the first "Duke" led a collection of Norwegian and Danish raiders who forced the Frankish king Charles the Simple to grant them land. These Vikings, however, were always a minority in Normandy, surrounded and vastly outnumbered by the French population. Rollo, who knew he had to adapt to survive, set the tone by taking a Frankish wife, adopting the French language and religion, and encouraging his men to do likewise. Within a generation Norse names died out, and the Dukes were busy trying to prove that they were respectable members of the Frankish power structure. They maintained close ties with their Scandinavian cousins- even agreeing to sell Viking plunder in their markets- but made it a point to distinguish themselves from the 'sea wolves'.
So what exactly were they? As frustrating as it is we have to fall back on how they saw themselves. Their court historians never tired of pointing it out. They were not Vikings or French but something far better. They were Normans.

'Millennials' receive worst asthma care in UK, charity reveals
By Beth Kennedy
Those aged 18-29 are the most likely to suffer an asthma attack and least likely to receive life-saving asthma care than any other age group, research has revealed.
Two-thirds (67%) of so-called 'millennials' are not receiving basic asthma care– higher than any other age group – a survey of more than 10,000 asthma patients by the charity Asthma UK revealed.
Patients in this age group are also twice as likely to receive emergency asthma care than patients aged over 60, the charity said.
Almost a third (28%) did not attend their asthma review, with 12% saying they could not book this with their GP.
Younger people could also be more likely to suffer an asthma attack because of the turbulent housing market because poor-quality housing containing mould and damp ay exacerbate symptoms, Asthma UK said.
National guidelines state that basic asthma care for patients includes a personalised action plan explaining how to manage the condition day-to-day, a yearly asthma review and being taught the correct inhaler technique.
Asthma UK's director of research and policy Dr Samantha Walker said: 'Millennials are getting a raw deal, with the worst asthma care of any age group. As a result, thousands needed emergency care for their asthma last year and were at risk of dying from an asthma attack.
'This could be avoided if they received the basic care they should be getting and if they were better engaged to manage their own health.'

Getting away was always a driving ambition for Shaun Carney—from an outer-suburban house in the 60s and 70s, from a family with a secret: a father with a double life and a borrowed name.
Journalism gave Shaun that escape, to another life, to becoming a different person. For 34 years he took every opportunity it offered, flourished and knew success even while dealing with the personal struggle of his own child battling cancer. But a greater sense of freedom came when he forgave the people he'd wanted to flee and, unexpectedly, let go of the life that he'd worked so hard to create. In this beautifully crafted memoir one of Australia's leading political journalists writes movingly about discovering the one story that really matters.
Shaun Carney has been a journalist, editor and columnist with The Herald, The Age and the Herald Sun. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, UNSW Canberra.

Blake Lively Plays The Woman I Want To Be In Mysterious New Thriller
What happened to Emily?
by Hayden Manders
Blake Lively is very good at playing up the idea of Blake Lively. By that, I mean, through her various roles and public image building, she's managed to give off an air of aspirational cool mixed with untouchable glamour. Like Sarah Jessica Parker and Carrie Bradshaw, it's rather difficult to separate Lively from her Gossip Girl character, Serena van der Woodsen. Her upcoming role in this year's Paul Feig thriller (yep, the guy behind Bridesmaids is doing thrillers), A Simple Favor, is no exception. And like with Serena van der Woodsen, I want to be her.
Based on the 2017 debut novel of the same name by Darcey Bell, Lively plays Emily, a successful PR executive balancing the affluent life in Connecticut with the demands of her Manhattan job. Her friend, Sarah (played by Anna Kendrick), is a mommy blogger who just wants to be a good friend to this "wonderful, elegant person." Elegant is putting it lightly. The first trailer for A Simple Favor paints Emily's life as a dream: a wardrobe filled with gender-bending pantsuits, cummerbunds, ascots, well-kept manicures, a perfect makeup routine, and an architectural wonder of a home. She sips martinis in the afternoon and walks in from a downpour looking like a million bucks. But there's something about this character that's... off—something only Lively could bring. Like van der Woodsen, Emily has a naughty, dark secret that makes every move of hers scream "wouldn't you like to know?" It's enigmatic. It's alluring. It is my personal definition of goals.
Anyway, Emily goes missing and Sarah spends the movie trying to Girl on the Train/Gone Girl the whole thing. Come for the unreliable narrator schtick, stay for Lively doing the absolute most.
A Simple Favor hits theaters September 14.

President Trump plans to make more people work for food stamps

If Congress won't make more food stamp recipients work for their benefits, the Trump administration will.
The US Department of Agriculture unveiled a proposed rule Thursday that would expand work requirements in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, as the food stamp program is formally known. The proposal comes on the same day as President Donald Trump plans to sign a farm bill that had a similar provision that was eventually eliminated
The overhaul marks the administration's latest effort to impose work requirements in government assistance programs. In an unprecedented move, it has started allowing states to mandate that Medicaid recipients find employment. Administration officials point to the nation's low unemployment rate as a reason to push more Americans to self-sufficiency.
"A central theme of the Trump administration has been to expand prosperity for all Americans, which includes helping people lift themselves out of pervasive poverty," said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, noting it will save $15 billion over 10 years. The proposed rule "restores the dignity of work to a sizable segment of our population, while it's also respectful of the taxpayers who fund the program."

The food stamp program already requires non-disabled, working-age adults without dependents to have jobs. They can only receive benefits for three months out of every 36-month period unless they are working or participating in training programs 20 hours a week.
But states can waive that requirement for areas where unemployment is at least 10% or there is an insufficient number of jobs, as defined by the Department of Labor. Already, some red states, including Kentucky and West Virginia, are phasing out or eliminating their waivers.
The proposed rule would make it harder for states to receive those waivers by tightening the definition of areas where there are insufficient jobs, curtailing states' ability to "bank" exemptions for future years and limiting waivers to only one year instead of up to two, among other changes.
There were 3.8 million Americans who fell into the target category in 2016, the latest federal figure available. Some 2.8 million of them were not working.
The agency's move could result in hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries losing their assistance, according to the left-leaning Center on Budget & Policy Priorities. Typically, one-third of Americans live in an area where the work requirement is waived.

The proposed rule would cut the number of areas with waivers by three-quarters, according to the agency.
Many low-income people can't find a good job with steady hours, even in today's robust economy, said Rachel West, director of poverty research at the left-leaning Center for American Progress. That volatility, combined with the challenge of documenting one's hours, will result in many folks losing their benefits.
"In low-wage jobs, there is significant churn week-to-week, month-to-month, in hours," West said. "So many people cannot control their hours in today's labor market."
The farm bill passed by the House called for many food stamp recipients to be locked out of the program for up to three years if they fail to work or enroll in job training. The legislation would have also expanded the work requirement to those in their 50's to work and extended it to parents with school-age children.
The final version, however, did not contain these changes.

With his new and updated travel ban, President Trump hopes to make his decrease in tourism to the US even Yuger! As noted by the Economist, following the ban, business tourism transactions fell by 3.4% with a cost of $185 million in business travel bookings. Overall searches for online flights dropped 17%. So in welcome news for US security, not only are terrorists being thwarted, the US has also successfully rid themselves of the pesky tourist. Long have the citizens of the US suffered in silence as tourists stole their favorite tables at restaurants, increased the lines at Disneyland, and talked in disturbing accents. No more! Across the country, Americans heaved a deep sigh of relief as knowing their domestic security is secure.

Besides blue sapphire and ruby, the corundum family also includes so-called "fancy sapphires." They come in violet, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, and intermediate hues. There are also "parti-colored" sapphires that show combinations of different colors. Some stones exhibit the phenomenon known as color change, most often going from blue in daylight or fluorescent lighting to purple under incandescent light. Sapphires can even be gray, black, or brown.
Stunning jewelry designs can be created by combining different sapphire colors.
Fancy sapphires are generally less available than blue ones, and some colors are scarce, especially in very small or very large sizes. Still, fancy sapphires create a rainbow of options for people who like the romance associated with this gem, but who also want something out of the ordinary.
The mineral corundum is composed only of aluminum and oxygen, and it requires a growth environment that's free of silicon. However, silicon is a very common element, making natural corundum relatively uncommon. In its purest state, corundum is actually colorless. Colorless sapphires were once popular diamond imitations, and they've staged a comeback as accent stones in recent years.
But colorless corundum is rare. Most corundum contains color-causing trace elements. When the trace elements are iron and titanium, the corundum is blue sapphire. Only a few hundredths of a percent of iron and titanium can cause the color, and the more iron the corundum contains, the darker the blue. Chromium can cause the red color of ruby or the pink of pink sapphire.
The colors attracted jewelry designers who wanted to move away from traditional hues of red, blue, and green. Now, contemporary designers arrange fancy sapphires in stunning rainbow suites.
Besides fancy sapphire and star corundum, there's another interesting variety: color-change sapphire. These fascinating stones change color under different lighting. Their presence adds a special dimension to the already amazing corundum family of gems.
Both blue and fancy sapphires come from a variety of exotic sources including Madagascar, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Australia.

Yesterday, Kris asked
By the way, how did you get to sing in the choir at the Capitol Fourth? Can you share your background in music? You're also a runner! When do you find the time? What is your favorite type of music and who is your favorite artist? These are things we'd love to know about you.
I actually got to sing in the choir at A Capitol Fourth almost by accident. The choir that performs is officially the Choral Arts Society of Washington. Of which I am not a member. Because they don't have enough members available every year to perform in A Capitol Fourth (it's summer, people are busy, spending time with family, etc), they put out the call to other local choral groups, including the group that I am in, the Cathedral Choral Society. A few weeks back, I got an e-mail through our listserv asking if anyone wanted to sing on the Capitol grounds for the Fourth of July. I honestly didn't know that this meant A Capitol Fourth – I really didn't know what it involved. But we were given a person to contact for more information. So I did, and I secured myself a spot, and then I realized what I had volunteered for. Dumb luck, I guess! I'm definitely watching closely for the call for volunteers next year!
I actually ended up in CCS almost by accident as well. I was telling a co-worker that I missed singing, and she told me she had a friend in CCS and sent me the address to the website. Just so happened that auditions were coming up in a week, so I auditioned and I was in. I actually only sang one concert with CCS this season – I auditioned in January and sang the March concert, then was out of town for the May concert. But I've reauditioned and am planning to participate next season. Singing in the National Cathedral is incredible!
My background in music… I think I sang my first solo in church when I was in kindergarden or first grade. It was a Thanksgiving song and I still remember some of the words. I sang all through school, performing in choirs at school, cantoring at church, performing in musicals both in school and with community groups. In college, I pretty much ditched voice for band. I could sing anywhere at anytime, but getting the chance to play my French Horn was much more rare. I still took voice lessons and gave a senior recital, but never bothered to major or minor in music. I didn't want something I loved to become a chore. I've sung a few weddings as well, though not since I moved to D.C.
Other than voice, as I mentioned, I play the French Horn, though not much lately. Played from 4th grade through college though. I started piano lessons in kindergarden and took lessons for years, but it's definitely not one of my talents.
I don't know what my favorite type of music is. I like a lot of different kinds of music, and it kind of all depends on my mood. But I really like a good melody, especially if it's something I can sing along to. But it can be a slow ballad, an upbeat pop song, or the chorus to a rap. Doesn't matter. I also really like orchestral music with a lot of brass. I loved getting to sit right behind the orchestra (and right behind the horns!) while they played John Williams' Olympic Fanfare last week. It was so good that it gave me chills.
Favorite artist? It probably all goes back to James Taylor, to be honest. I was sort of raised on his music and you really can't go wrong with his stuff.
According to iTunes, lately I've been listening to a lot of Kate Voegele, Girlyman, Hem, Vienna Teng, Michael Buble, LeAnn Rimes and Timbaland. Yes, that's a weird "and," I know. But TH fans, I did just buy his album from the iTunes store and so far, I'm really liking what I hear!
When do I find the time to run? Well, looking at my training log, the answer is "I don't." But really, it's not so hard to set aside 30 to 45 minutes after work to get in a workout at least three times a week, sometimes more depending on what's going on that week. I'd like to get back to working out before work, but 5:15 is just so early! I try to put in a chunk of time on the weekends as well.
Thanks for the questions, Kris! I really enjoyed answering them!

Megan –
Thanks for taking the time to answer and for not telling me to MYOB.
You, girl, are a "real" singer. I checked out the Choral Arts Society and Cathedral Coral Society sites, and I'm totally impressed. Our local church choir is the most I could ever handle! I'd never have passed the CCS audition!
Singing in the Cathedral must be glorious. Our parish church growing up (a small mostly Irish Catholic community, just outside of Boston) was a Basilica and that was magnificent compared to "regular" parish churches – but nothing compared to the Washington Cathedral or St. Patrick's. Anyway, you must have had to pinch yourself when you found out it was "A Capitol Fourth" that you had signed up for! What a rush!
And the French Horn – a great instrument! We only had one in our school band, and my best friend since first grade, Eileen Kiley, played it!
I have to run. I'm still doing laundry and it's after 11:00! I'll check in later in the week. I have to find out (and it may be here, and I just haven't come across it yet) where the title "elbow glitter" came from! You are a very interesting person! Have a great Wednesday! (It's going to be too hot to run!)

Very interesting story regarding how you got on the show. It sure does pay to be at the right place at the right time. As for the eclectic taste in music, I can relate. My playlists ranges from Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Evanescence, RHCP, Jakob Dylan, Needtobreathe (awesome Christian group), and of course Taylor Hicks. I haven't heard of Kate Voegele so I looked her up. I love her version of Hallelujah. Just added hers to Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen's version. I actually like her whole album. I saw that one of hers songs is on the Kyle XY soundtrack. Absolutely love that show.

Famous visitors, part 1. The Governor-General of Canada.
The American papers Back East began twittering about it. The Governor-General of Canada, a landed aristocrat no less, was coming west from Ottawa to visit Her Majesty's dominion. It would be the first time any Governor-General ever visited Manitoba. And in 1877, the easiest way to get to Manitoba was via America's trains and steamboats.
The famous one was Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava. An English and Irish peer, he was a rising star in Queen Victoria's diplomatic service. Notably, he achieved the ultimate honor and became the Viceroy of India. In 1877, he had been the Governor-General of Canada for five years.
An undated photograph of Lord Dufferin, taken in London. From the urbancreek archive.
His wife was his perfect helpmeet. Hariot Georgina Rowan-Hamilton was known as a kind and charming hostess, genuinely interested in people of every station. In India, her charity work would be the first instance of health care becoming a diplomatic concern.
As a couple, Lord and Lady Dufferin were very popular. They were known for her elaborate parties and home-grown theatricals, his sparkling wit and well-chosen speeches. And they were coming west, to Minnesota, on the train. It took just two long days from Ottawa before they arrived in St. Paul. The Chamber of Commerce determined to fête them, and the celebrity couple took this on with good-heartedness.
Lady Dufferin. What appears at first glance to be one of the weirdest hair styles imaginable turns out to be a hat. From the urbancreek archive.
They and their "suite" were met at the depot by a dozen local gentlemen and escorted to the Metropolitan Hotel. The next day was August 2, 1877. After breakfast they attended a reception, where ex-Governor Davis–presumably the highest-status gentleman the Chamber of Commerce had handy–gave a welcome address. Dufferin gave a "bright and kindly little speech," noting that "the people of Canada are animated by feelings of the greatest admiration of your energy and progress, and by the most perfect confidence in your friendship and goodwill."
Content with this display of amity, the group bundled into six carriages to tour the countryside. From St. Paul, this meant a trip "through a flat country, sometimes bush, sometimes prairie, sometimes beautiful cornfields" to Minneapolis. Though she knew it was much the younger of the cities, Lady Dufferin thought Minneapolis looked more flourishing than St. Paul. She thought that the Nicollet Hotel, where they had lunch, was "a very fine one."
They took the grand tour, visiting St. Anthony Falls, Fort Snelling, and between them, Minnehaha Falls. Lady Dufferin wrote: "From the waterfall, he called her 'Minnehaha' 'Laughing Water.' The season has been very dry, and there was very little water coming over the Fall; but I am very glad to have seen it, as Longfellow's poem is one of my earliest recollections."
And the story might end there, except for this painting of Minnehaha Falls.
This watercolor painting of Minnehaha Falls hangs in the music room of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's home in Cambridge, Mass. Especial thanks for the scan go to the National Park Service staff at the Longfellow House.
This painting was given to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1880. The gift makes sense. It was Longfellow who made Minnesota's Minnehaha Falls world-famous with his unbeatably popular epic poem The Song of Hiawatha. Because of it, and long before gaining statehood, Minnesota had a prominent place in the culture of American arts and letters. James Russell Lowell sent this watercolor to Longfellow. Lowell was a member of Longfellow's literary and Harvard circles in Cambridge, but was also a diplomat stationed in England. Lowell seems to have been an intermediary between Longfellow and Lord Dufferin, whom he would have known as a fellow diplomat.
Longfellow acknowledged the gift in a letter to Lowell, saying, "The picture of the Falls of Minnehaha has come safely. Even the glass was not broken; which I consider a miracle.
"You say the painting is by Lord Dufferin: but I suspect it is by his Lady. My letter of thanks I enclose to you, not having his address. Please add it, and forward."
This is a frankly excellent watercolor of the falls. It is a difficult medium, and is handled here with real skill. The lighting is wonderful. The falls are beautifully, realistically painted. There are fanciful additions to the scene in the "lake" above, the rocks on the left, and most notably the incorrect perspective of the viewing platform.
Watercolor is well-suited to working with outside, and this is known as painting en plein air. Also we know there was time on that day to paint outside. Some of the details of the day's schedule were recorded in Lady Dufferin's book, My Canadian journal, 1872-8 : extracts from my letters home written while Lord Dufferin was Governor-General[1]. There was enough time to at least sketch the scene, even possibly to begin the painting.
Was this watercolor painted at the Falls? Unlikely. The painting is too far off in visual details in some ways, while in other details–like the broken branch on the butternut tree— it is minutely accurate.
There are only a few vantage points for viewing the falls. That was true in 1877 and it is true today. The watercolor painting shows what had become of the Middle Terrace in 1877, with its built-out platform and tall railings. But no photograph shows this exact perspective. The urbancreek.com archives contain thousands of pictures of Minnehaha Falls, and the most similar is this one.
Half a stereo pair, this picture was taken by Charles Zimmerman. This picture was taken no earlier than 1876. The platform on the side of the gorge is the largest of the wooden platforms ever constructed. From the urbancreek.com archive.
Given the problems of perspective, and the fact that it seems probable that Their Excellencies would not have kept six carriages of people waiting around while painting, it is highly doubtful that this was painted at the falls. And, Lady Dufferin has told us the answer. The falls were nearly dry that August day. The Dufferin party did not see much water over the falls. The painting was done after the visit, worked from photographs and memory, and perhaps references some quick sketches possibly made on the day.
Longfellow suspected Lady Dufferin painted it. Did she?
Most unlikely. We have no information on why Longfellow thought that. We do know that Lady Dufferin's book mentioned her husband (whom she called D.) sketching many times. "D. is so industrious about drawing; he has made a quantity of pretty sketches." She does not mention him doing any painting, nor does she mention herself drawing or painting.
However, a non-exhaustive Internet search found reference to a letter held by the Smithsonian which explains that Andrew Carnagie once owned a watercolor by Dufferin, and that it had been misattributed, originally, to someone named Lord Elgin. The misattribution was corrected by Samuel Longfellow, who was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's younger brother. And that is a deeply strange coincidence.

Welcome

                            Our research focuses on the detection and understanding of the mechanisms of origin of genomic Structural Variation (SV),
                            to advance comparative genomics, biomedical research and ultimately, clinical care. SVs are an understudied form of genomic
                            variation that includes deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, and translocations. They represent an important class
                            of variation, as in aggregate, they impact more of the human genome than does single nucleotide variation. The core strength of the Sedlazeck lab
                            is to develop new methods and algorithms to obtain a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular biology. We are doing this with a focus
                            on large scale genomics (hundreds of thousands of samples) and the application of novel technologies (e.g. long reads such as PacBio or Oxford Nanopore).
                            Utilizing this we uncovered novel complexity accross human evolution, diseases (e.g. neurological, mendelian, cardiovascular), cancer (e.g. breast or viral associated),
                            but also non-human based. The latter either to improve our understanding of human variations (e.g. rhesus macaque) or to improve certain phenotypes (e.g. tomato, yeast)

                            Going forward, the Sedlazeck lab utilizes novel biotechnology and develops algorithms to improve our understand of human diseases with
                            a special focus on adult diseases. To achieve this, we have experience in phasing, methylation calling and variant calling in complex
                            regions of the human genome. We also leverage both mapping and assembly approaches to obtain a comprehensive insight at the sample at
                            hand. In addition to comprehensive genomics, we apply these approaches at scale to improve heritability and association of certain
                            diseases. This is only possible with a dedication of scalable algorithms, cloud infrastructure and the application of machine learning
                            techniques together with high filtering and quality control standards. As such our lab contributes to Topmed, CCDG, ADSP and other
                            consortia to push innovation across genomics and genetics to address questions of evolution, diseases and development.

POP and IMAP are two email protocols commonly used today. While POP continues to be the most popular among single client users, IMAP is also available for users who have multiple computers or who need to access their email from multiple locations.
The POP protocol was originally designed around the offline mail delivery model due to the high costs of having to stay online to retrieve mail. With POP, users connect on to their mail server, download the mail to their local computer, disconnect from the server letting them read the emails while offline. Emails are stored on the server until the user downloads the mail using a mail client such as Microsoft Outlook or Eudora.
The POP protocol allows a user to store their email locally. This allows a user which is not connected to the internet, to still access and read downloaded email.
POP email is less intensive on the server side. Using POP mail frees up server disk space because it downloads emails and attachments then deletes them from the email server.
POP email is multi-system friendly. For many users that have older systems their email clients will most likely not run IMAP mail, therefore POP email will be their only choice.
POP email was designed for use with a single email client on a single computer. Even though there are "leave-mail-on-server" enhancements of new POP servers and clients, when implemented, this feature forces the downloading of the same emails many times which can drain bandwidth, server resources and client disk space.
IMAP was recently developed for users who needed access to their email on the server without having to download the mail to a local machine. Users can manipulate mail and folders on the server side. Folders and mail boxes can also be given shared access for uses such as announcements and common projects.
WebMail is a great example of the IMAP protocol although it is accessed through the web and not an email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Eudora.
IMAP email supports many configurations because it is compatible with all email delivery models.
IMAP email resides on the server; this will take away from allotted storage space.
With IMAP supporting so many email options, this can often confuse and overwhelm a user.
POP email is designed to be used by one client and one computer where as IMAP is designed to be used by various users using different computers.
POP clients have facilities for organizing mail into folders on the clients computer where when using IMAP, folders can be on the server or client side.
POP sends messages one way, from the server to the client. IMAP can copy and move messages back and forth between mailboxes on multiple accounts as well as between servers and clients.
POP email only supports one user to access one mailbox. IMAP mail allows users to access multiple public and private folders where users can change the status of message to share for multiple viewing.

And we also had Soviet emigres Alburt, Shamkovich, and Lein burning up the field in various Swisses and home-grown talents such as John Fedorowicz, Mark Diesen, Michael Rohde, the Whitehead brothers Jay and Paul, Ken Regan, and more.
Art was Joe Solid at the chessboard. He had an old-fashioned repertoire but was positionally well grounded and conservative. Here is a tough tangle that occurred in 1979 in which I narrowly escaped. Ratings are given from that time as a historical curiosity. I only received the IM title in 1982 – a FIDE diploma signed by Icelandic GM Fridrik Olafsson, then president of FIDE!

13. Be4!? c6 An important alternative is 13… Bxe4 14. Qxe4 Ke7 15. a4 (nothing much happened after 15. Nd2 Nf6 16. Qc6 Qd7 17. Qxd7+ Kxd7 18. Ke2 h5 19. f3 Rab8 20. Rab1 Rbg8 21. Rbg1 Rb8 22.

Since we just quoted a Dorfman game, let's show a picture from the 1978 USSR Championship Playoff! This match ended in a 3-3 tie so both players were awarded the title of Co-Champion. At the time of the match, Gulko was a Grandmaster with a rating of 2581. Dorfman was only an International Master (!!) with a FIDE rating of 2539.

14. Qa4!? White got nowhere with 14. a4 a5 15. Rb1 Rc8 16. Nd2 Kf8 17. f4 Kg7 18. Kf2 Ba6 and drawn, 1/2-1/2 Uhlmann,W-Smyslov,V/Monte Carlo 1968.
14… g4 15. Nd2 TN! Previously seen was 15. Ng1 Qc7 16. Ne2 b5 17. cxb5 cxb5 18. Qc2 Nb6 19. Rb1 a6 20. Rh4 O-O-O 21. Rxg4 f5 22. Bxb7+ Qxb7 23. Rh4 Kb8 24.

Ke2 Nc4 39. d5 Kd7 40. e4 and black resigned, 1-0 Sideif Sade,F (2435)-Felsberger,A (2395)/Pula 1997.
15… Qc7 16. Qc2 Nf6 17. a4 c5 More flexible is 17… Ke7! 18. Rb1 h5 19. Rh4 Qd7 20. Ra1 c5 and black is OK.
18. Bxb7 Qxb7 19. e4 cxd4 Black is now starting to get uncomfortable. If 19… Rc8 20. O-O cxd4 21. cxd4 O-O 22. Qd3 with a white edge. The text is similar.
20. cxd4 Rc8 21. O-O e5 22. a5 O-O 23. Qd3 bxa5 24. Rfb1! White's edge is increasing.
24…Qe7 25. Rxa5 exd4 26. Rba1 Rfe8 27. Qxd4 Qe6 28. Rxa7 White could also restricted black with 28. f3 !? gxf3 29. gxf3 Nd7 30. Kg2 Ne5 31. Rd5 Nc6 32. Qc3 with a significant edge.
28… Qe5 29. Qe3? A blunder. White had the simple 29. Qxe5 Rxe5 (29… dxe5 30. Kf1 Red8 31. Ke2 Rd4 32. Ra8 and wins) 30. f3! which is an easy win. Now black gets undeserved activity.
29… Nxe4 30. Nxe4 Qxe4 31. Qxh6 Rxc4 32. R7a5 Rc5 33. Rxc5 dxc5 34. Qg5+ Kh7 35. Ra6 Re6 Every time white threatens with a rook, black is ready to interpose with a rook to defuse matters. White only has a tiny edge now.
36. Rxe6 Qxe6 37. Qxc5 Qg6 38. Qe5 Kg8 39. Qb8+ Kg7 40. f3 Qg5 41.Qf4? A blunder, of course, but white would have hard pressed to win this.
41…Qxf4 42. gxf4 g3 43. Kf1 Kf6 44. Ke2 Kf5 45. Ke3 f6 46. Kd3 Kxf4 47. Kd4 f5
Here are a few other games from 1979.
The first was against a player more stodgy and more conservative than Arthur, which is hard to do. It's none other than venerable future-IM Walter Shipman. If a player wanted exciting chess, he would instead play a US Junior.
NM Walter Shipman – NM Mark Ginsburg National Chess Congress 1979. Round 6 (last). King's Indian/Pirc/g3 set up.
1. d4 Nf6 2. g3 g6 3. Bg2 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nc3 O-O 6. Nge2 Nbd7 7. h3 e5 8. Be3 This is a very nice and solid system for white; one of Walter's pet lines. In recent memory Vinay Bhat is a fan. Later in other Walter Shipman games (in the 80s) I figured out a Benoni-type strike with c7-c5 is much more effective versus this system than the King's Indian e7-e5 break.
8…c6 9. a4 a5 Also not equalizing is 9… exd4 10. Bxd4 c5 11. Be3 Nb6 12. b3 Re8 13. O-O.
10. O-O exd4 11. Bxd4 Re8 More clever, perhaps, is 11… b6!? 12. g4 Nc5 13. Re1 (13. e5 dxe5 14. Bxe5 Bd7 15. Re1 Re8 16. f4 Rc8 17. Qd2 Be6 18. Nd4 Qd7 19. Rad1 with white edge) 13… Qc7 14. Qd2 Re8 15. Nf4 h6 16. Rad1 Bb7 17. Bxc5 dxc5 setting a nice trap – hoping for 18. Qd6? Qxd6 19. Rxd6 Nxg4! 20. hxg4 Be5! with black advantage.
12. g4 Qe7 13. Ng3 Now it's just nasty for black.
13…Ne5 It's hard to give advice. 13… Nc5 14. g5 Nfd7 15. Bxg7 Kxg7 16. f4 and white is better.
14. g5 Nfd7 15. f4 c5 No help is 15… Nc4 16. Bxg7 Ne3 17. Bf6 Nxf6 18. gxf6 Qxf6 19. Qd3 Nxf1 20. Rxf1 b6 21. Qe3 Ba6 22. Rd1 Rab8 23. b3.
16. Nd5 Qd8 17. Bc3 Nc6 18. Bxg7 Kxg7 19. Qd2 Nb6 20. Nf6 Re6 Black is going to have to sacrifice the exchange for that horse on f6 but of course he should be losing.
21. f5 Rxf6 Essentially forced. Miserable is 21… Re5 22. Qf4 Nd7 23. Ng4 Re8 24. Rad1 Nde5 25. Nf6 Rh8 26. Rd5.
22. gxf6+ Qxf6 23. fxg6 Qxg6 24. Nf5+ 24. Qf4 is strong. The text move makes things a little harder, but white should still be winning.
24… Bxf5 25. exf5 Qf6 26. Rad1?! The cleanest win is the careful 26. b3! Kh8 27. Rae1 d5 28. Qf4 Rg8 29. Qc7 Nd4 30. Rf2 c4 31. Re7 Kg7 32. c3 Nxb3 33. Re6 and it's all over. White from this point forward commits a whole series of inaccuracies to let black back in the game, and more. The moral is that unplanned play can be punished when clear material up just as it can be in any other type of position.
26…Nc4 Now the task is more complicated.
27. Qf2 Kh8 28. b3 N4e5 29. c3 More circumspect is 29. Kh2.
29… Rg8 30. Kh1 Ne7 A bluff.
31. Qf4? White should grab: 31. Bxb7! Rb8 32. Qg2 and should win.
31… b6 32. c4 h6 33. Be4 Rg5 34.Rg1 White should safeguard the king: 34. Kh2! Rh5 35. Qg3 Rg5 36. Qe3 Rh5 37. Rf4 and he keeps control. He was probably low on time here.
34… Rh5 35. Rg3? This is the most serious blunder to date. The rather primitive 35. Qg3! Rg5 36. Qh2 Rh5 37. Qg2 Rg5 38. Qd2 Rh5 39. Qxd6 Rxh3+ 40. Kg2 Qg5+ 41. Kxh3 Qh5+ 42. Kg2 Qe2+ 43. Kg3 Qg4+ 44. Kf2 Qf4+ 45. Ke2 Qxe4+ 46. Kd2 and finito.
35… Nxf5 Now black is OK. Flummoxed and short of time, white even contrives to lose now.
36. Bxf5 Rxf5 37. Qe4 Rf1+ 38. Rg1 Qf3+ 39. Qxf3 Rxf3 40. Rxd6? A blunder on the last move of the time control. 40. Kg2! Rxb3 41. Rxd6 Nxc4 42. Rxh6+ Kg7 43. Rc6 Rb4 44. Kh2+ Kf8 45. Ra1 Ne5 46. Rc7 should be drawn.
40… Rxh3+ 41. Kg2 Rxb3 42. Rxh6+? Another blunder. 42. Kh1 Ng6 43. Rd7 Kg7 44. Rb7 Rb4 45. Rf1 Nh8 46. Rg1+ Kf6 47. Rf1+ Ke6 48. Re1+ Kf5 49. Re8 Ng6 50. Rxf7+ Kg5 51. Re3 and play continues.
42… Kg7 43. Rh4 Rb4 44. Kf2+ Kf6 45. Rf4+ Ke6 46. Ke2 Rxa4 And white is lost. An amazing turnaround.
47. Rc1 b5 48. Rb1 Ra2+ 49. Kf1 b4 50. Rd1 b3 51. Rb1 a4 52. Re4 Rc2 53. Rbe1 White lost on time.
According to my scorepad scribbles, I tied for 4th, 5th, and 6th with Art Bisguier and the dearly departed Boris Backzinskyj with 4.5 out of 6 in this event. We all won the princely sum of $66.66. We also won 2.66 Grand Prix points each (remember those? ) – Church's Fried Chicken donated money for those who had the most Grand Prix points, or as Igor Ivanov called them, "Chicken Points." I also notated that Dzindzi won the event with 5.5 out of 6 and equal 2nd and 3rd were Vitaly Zaltsman (Max Dlugy's trainer) and Tim Taylor. with 5-1.
Some More 1979 Encounters
A battle versus a well-known chess book author.
Eric Schiller (1927) – NM Mark Ginsburg (2355) Heraldica Semi-Rapids New York City, October 1979. Modern Benoni
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 c5 4. d5 exd5 5. cxd5 d6 6. Nc3 g6 7. Nd2 Bg7 8. Nc4 O-O 9. Bf4 Nbd7! It appears sound to leave the d6 pawn hanging. Let's look at an old Tal loss in the more passive but possible 9… Ne8 10. Qd2 Bxc3 11. bxc3 b5 12. Nb2 a5 (The gambit line 12…Nf6 13. f3 Na6 14. e4 c4 15. Bg5 Re8 16. Qd4 Re5 17. f4 Rxg5 18. fxg5 Nd7 19. h4 Nac5 is very sharp) 13. e4 Qe7 14. Bd3 b4 15. O-O Nd7 16. Nc4 Ba6 17. Rfe1 Bxc4 18. Bxc4 Ne5 19. Bf1 Nc7 20. Bh6 Rfe8 21. f4 Ng4 22. Bg5 f6 23. Bh4 Qg7 24. h3 Nh6 25. Kh1 Nf7 26. Bf2 Rab8?! (26… g5!) 27. a3 f5? (27… b3! 28. Rab1 a4 29. c4 Ra8 30. Rb2 g5! with an OK game) 28. axb4 axb4 29. cxb4 Rxb4 30. e5! (Crushing.) Rb7 31. e6 Nh6 32. Rab1 Reb8 33. Rxb7 Rxb7 34. Bc4 Rb2 35. Qe3 Rc2 36. Rc1 Qb2 37. Rxc2 Qxc2 38. Bb3 Qb2 39. e7 {A blunder!} (39. Kh2 Qf6 40. Ba4 Qe7 41. Qb3) 39… Kf7 40. Bh4 (40. Kh2) 40… Qd4 ? (Losing. Last move of the time control? 40… Qa1+! is correct and it appears black saves himself.) 41. e8=Q+ and black resigned, Borisenko-Tal, Riga 1955.
10. e3 If white grabs the pawn, 10. Nxd6 TN?! Nb6 and also 10…Nh5 are both tempting. Black has good play in both lines. This makes sense, because black is better developed and can fairly easily regain the pawn.
On the other plausible capture, 10. Bxd6 Re8 11. e3 Nb6 12. Bxc5 Nxc4?? (12… Nbxd5! is obvious and equal. 13. Nxd5 Nxd5 14. Be2 Bxb2 15. Nxb2 Qa5+ 16. Qd2 Qxc5 17. Rc1 Qb4 18. Qxb4 Nxb4 19. a3 Nd5 20. O-O Be6 =; note that 12… Nfxd5 is also fine; equal after 13. Nxd5 Nxd5) 13. Bxc4 Qc7 14. b4 white won shortly in Gabriell,R (2260)-Meissner,B (2285)/Germany 1993. In the game, white plays in a non-challenging way that gives black much freedom to maneuver and gain an initiative in typical Benoni style.
10… Nb6 11. a4 Nxc4 12. Bxc4 Nh5! Clearly black stands very well now.
13. Bg3 Nxg3 14. hxg3 Qa5 15. Qd2 Bd7 16. O-O a6 17. Qd3 Rfe8 18. Ra3 Re7 19. Rfa1 Rae8 20. Rb3? It was bad, after e.g. 20. Qd1 Rc8, but the text is an elementary oversight that loses a piece.
20...b5 21. Nxb5 axb5 22. Bxb5 Bxb5 23. Rxb5 Qa7 24. Qb3 Re4 25. Rb6 Be5 26. a5 Rb4 27. Rxb4 cxb4 28. a6 Rb8 29. Ra4 Rb6 30. f4 It is more resistant to play 30. Qc4 b3 31. Ra3 f5 32. Qc8+ Kf7 33. Qc4 Rb8.
30… Bf6 31. Kh2 Rxa6 32. Rxa6 Qxa6 33. Qxb4 h5 34. Qb8+ Kg7 35. b4 Qd3 36. Qe8 Qxd5 37. b5 Qe6 38. Qc6 Qxe3 39. Qxd6 Bd4 40. Kh3 Qg1 41. g4 hxg4+ 42. Kh4 Qh2+ 0-1
A battle versus a fellow US Junior.
Michael Rohde – Mark Ginsburg Liberty Bell Open, Philadelphia 9/24/79. Nimzo-Indian Defense.
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 c5 5. Nf3 O-O 6. a3 The uncompromising Saemisch variation. I did not know it.
6…Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 Nc6 8. Bd3 b6 The move 8….d6!? is more careful.
9. e4 Ne8 In the database, black was unsuccessful twice with 9….d5 10 e5! Even so, after the text, white has an edge. What did black do wrong?
10. O-O Ba6 11. e5 f5 12. d5! Na5 13. Qe2 h6?! Black is playing too provocatively. 13… exd5 is an interesting try to alter the structure and get out of the huge bind: 14. cxd5 Bxd3 15. Qxd3 c4 16. Qc2 Nc7 and white is better but black can fight.
14. Rb1 Qe7 In the game Ryskin-Butnorius, Soviet Union 1967, 14…Bb7 was played. White lost after the hideous 15. g4?? but he had 15. Rd1 or 15. d6 with an edge in either case.
15. h3 The direct 15. d6! Qf7 16. Nd2! g5 17. f4 g4 looks very good.
15…g5 15… Bb7 16. d6 Qf7 17. Nd2 g5!? 18. f4! doesn't inspire confidence.
16. d6 Qf7 17. Nh2 17. h4! g4 18. Ne1 Qg6 19. g3 Ng7 20. Ng2 Nh5 21. Nf4 Nxf4 22. Bxf4 Bb7 and black is worse but not lost yet.
17… f4 18. h4 18. Bd2!? Bb7 19. Ng4! is a big white edge.
18… Bb7? A clear mistake. 18…gxh4 is the best try and although it does look sick, black only has a small disadvantage after e.g. 19. Bd2 Bb7.
19. hxg5 hxg5 20. Ng4?! 20. Qg4! Qg7 21. Qh5! A very nice two-step. This is completely decisive.
20… f3! 20… Qh5 21. f3 leaves white with an edge. The text introduces confusion.
21. gxf3?! Not good. 21. Qe3! Qf4 (21… fxg2 22. Nh6+ Kg7 23. Qxg5+!) 22. Qxf4 gxf4 23. g3! fxg3 24. fxg3 is a big edge for white.
21… Qxf3 Now, surprisingly, black is totally OK. As Gulko said once, "when a good position collapses, it collapses not to equality, but to ruin" (commenting on one of his Serper playoff games in the US Championship. That phenomenon happens here.
22. Qxf3 Rxf3 23. Bg6? A bad blunder, after which black is much better. (23. Be3! Rh3 24. f3 Bxf3 25. Rxf3 Rxf3 26. Kg2! A nice saving resource, if 26… Rf8 27. Rh1.
23… Kg7 24. Bc2 Rxc3?! 24… Nxc4! 25. Bxg5 Nxa3 26. Rbc1 Nxc2 27. Rxc2 Kg6 28. Be7 Ng7 29. Nh2 Rd3 30. f3 Nf5 and wins for black.
25. Bd1 (25. Ne3 Nxc4 26. Rb3 Rxb3 27. Bxb3 Nxe3 28. Bxe3 Kg6 29. Bc2+ Kf7 30. f3 Ng7 31. Bxg5 Nf5 32. Bxf5 exf5 33. Kf2 Rh8 34. Rg1 Bc6 35. Bf4 Ke6 36. Rg6+ Kd5 and wins)
25… Nxc4 26. Bxg5 Kg6 (Black misses a cute knockout: 26… Rh3! 27. f3 (27. Bh6+ Rxh6 28. Nxh6 Kxh6) 27… Nxe5! {A nice tactic – and wins)
27. Rc1 Rxa3 (Again, 27… Rh3! 28. f3 Kxg5 29. Rxc4 Ba6)
28. f4 (28. Rxc4 Kxg5 wins)
28… Nd2 29. Bc2+ Kh5 30. Nh2 Rg3+ 31. Kf2 Rg2+ 32. Ke3 Rxh2
Here's an upset from the December 1979 Chicago Masters/Experts.
NM Mark Ginsburg – GM Roman Dzindzihashvili Chicago 1979, Sicilian Kan
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. O-O d6 7. c4 g6 8. Nc3 Bg7 9. Bg5!? I had learned this dangerous setup while experimenting in the Kan theme match I played against Eugene Meyer in 1978.
9…Nbd7 10. Kh1 b6 One way to play is 10… O-O 11. f4 Qb6!? 12. Nb3 Qc7 with a complicated game in view.
11. f4 Qc7?! Tougher is 11…O-O 12. f5 Ne5 13. fxg6 fxg6 14. Nf3 Nf7! A key defensive resource. 15. Bh4 Qc7 and black holds on.
12. f5 gxf5? Making matters very bad. The Grandmaster was playing quickly and simply underestimated the kid. He could try 12… e5 13. Nc2 O-O 14. Ne3 Bb7 15. Rc1 Nc5 16. Ned5 Nxd5 17. Nxd5 Bxd5 18. cxd5 Qd7 19. f6 Bh8 20. Bc2 and white ratains some edge.
13. exf5 e5 14. Ne6! This wins. Curiously, 14. Nd5!! is an even nicer win: 14…Nxd5 15. Ne6 fxe6 16. Qh5+ Kf8 17. fxe6+ N7f6 18. cxd5 Qe7 19. Bxf6 (19. Rxf6+ Bxf6 20. Rf1 Bxe6 21. dxe6 Qxe6 22. Rxf6+ Qxf6 23. Bxf6) 19… Bxf6 20. Qh6+ and wins.
14… fxe6 15. fxe6 O-O 16. e7! Bb7 Getting out of the way of the rampaging pawn loses: 16… Re8 17. Nd5 (or 17. Rxf6 Nxf6 18. Bxf6 Bxf6 19. Nd5) 17… Nxd5 18. Bxh7+ Kxh7 19. Qh5+ Kg8 20. Qxe8+ Kh7 21. Qh5+ and wins.
17. exf8=Q+ Rxf8 18. Nd5 Nxd5 19. cxd5 Rxf1+ 20. Qxf1 Nc5 21. Rc1 e4 22. Bxe4 Bxb2 23. Re1 Be5 24. Bf4 Qf7 25. Bxe5 Qxf1+ 26. Rxf1 dxe5 Fortunately this wasn't a hard ending to convert because I had no practical experience at this point overcoming ending obstacles.
27. Bb1 Bxd5 28. Rf5 Nd7 29. Rh5 Bf7 30. Rxh7 Bxa2 31. Rxd7 Bxb1 32. Rd6 b5 33. Rxa6 Kf7 34. Kg1 Bd3 35. Kf2 Bc4 36. h4 Bd5 37. Rb6 Bc4 38. g4 Bd3 39. Ke3 Bf1 40. g5 Kg7 41. Ke4 1-0

Mӧvenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives announces November 2018 opening date
August 26, 2018 August 26, 2018 by Hotelier News Desk
Nestled on a private island in Noonu Atoll, situated in the northern part of the Maldives, Movenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives promises serene seclusion and tropical tranquillity when it opens in November 2018. The resort will also showcase a series of unique architectural features and distinctive design touches that complement the soothing natural surroundings.
The resort was designed by the acclaimed architects from the Poland based company MOTIV, who used the private, uninhabited tropical island of Kuredhivaru as a blank canvas on which to create something aesthetically appealing and truly unique. Taking inspiration from the Maldives' spectacular natural scenery, MOTIV has designed a masterpiece that weaves seamlessly into the island environment, blurring the boundaries between innovative design, Maldivian heritage and Mother Nature.
Movenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives will be Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts' inaugural property in the Maldives, and the first Maldivian project for MOTIV, bringing a fresh perspective to the country's hospitality scene. Organic shapes for the roofs in villas and restaurants make the structure blend better with the environment. Interiors were dictated by ergonomy, to give to the guest comfort to stay close to nature, nature is the biggest luxury in the Maldives and architecture should just make it more prominent.
"We wanted to make sure we did not damage the island or the marine environment, so we followed nature. Also, we did not want to build anything too contemporary; so, you will find in the final design influences from the Maldives and Indonesia," said Pawel Podwojewski, founder of MOTIV. "Organic shapes used for the roofs in the villas and restaurants allow the structures to blend with the environment. Sustainability was always our priority and therefore I was looking for solutions that could enhance my design."The 30 Beach Pool Suites and three Beach Spa Pool Residences are surrounded by native trees and mature plants, providing privacy and shade. Each room features an amazing elevated deck that "floats" three metres above the private pool, offering endless ocean views.
Guests in each of the 72 Overwater Pool Villas will discover a huge glass floor in the hallway, which frames breathtaking displays of marine life underfoot. Each villa also features a private pool and a large outdoor deck with a hammock and direct access to the shimmering sea below.

Selon le compositeur et compatriote Alexandre Tansman,  C'est surtout dans le domaine du poème symphonique (Boleslas le Hardi, Anhelli, Le Roi Kofetua, Mona Lisa Gioconda, Piéta - Sur les décombres de Varsovie) que Różycki a laissé de véritables chefs-d'œuvre.

Biographie
Ludomir Różycki est le fils du compositeur et pianiste Aleksander Różycki, professeur à l'Institut de musique de Varsovie, où il étudie le piano auprès d'Aleksander Michałowski, théorie et harmonie avec Gustaw Roguski et Michał Biernacki et la composition auprès de Zygmunt Noskowski également professeur de Szymanowski et du chef d'orchestre Grzegorz Fitelberg. Il achève ses études avec brio (1904) puis il fréquente l'Académie de musique de Berlin et étudie avec Engelbert Humperdinck jusqu'en 1907.

C'est en 1905 qu'il fonde avec Grzegorz Fitelberg, Szymanowski et Szeluto, le groupe informel « Jeune Pologne en musique » (Młoda Polska w muzyce), visant tout d'abord et pratiquement à l'édition des partitions (Spółka Nakładowa Młodych Kompozytorów Polskich) par l'appui financier du prince Zdzisław Lubomirski. Le concert inaugural, , fit sonner Bolesław le hardi de Różycki. Autour de 1912, Szymanowski, le « vrai représentant » du groupe signe un contrat chez Universal Edition et Różycki, chez l'éditeur danois Hansen, ce qui mettra fin à l'aventure.

Il commence sa carrière comme pianiste à Lwów (aujourd'hui en Ukraine) en 1907, puis l'année suivante en tant que chef d'orchestre à l'Opéra de la ville. C'est durant cette période qu'il commence à composer. Jusqu'en 1912, il enseigne le piano des classes avancées au conservatoire de Galice de Lwów. Entre 1912 et 1918, il séjourne à Paris, puis s'installe à Varsovie en 1919. En 1920, il est chef d'orchestre au théâtre Wielki, puis se consacre entièrement à la composition, sa musique connaissant un grand succès dans la nouvelle Pologne indépendante.

Il est l'un des membres fondateurs de l'union des compositeurs polonais (1926) et son premier président. Puis brièvement professeur à l'Académie de musique en 1930 et 1931, alors que Szymanowski en est le recteur. En 1930, il reçoit un prix de l'État polonais pour son opéra Eros i Psyche et une médaille d'or à l'exposition de Paris en 1937 pour son ballet Apollo i dziewczyna.

En 1945, il s'installe à Katowice et enseigne la composition à l'école de musique, se consacrant également à la reconstruction de ses œuvres en manuscrits, détruites dans les incendies pendant l'Insurrection de Varsovie en 1944.

Œuvre et style
L'esthétique de Różycki est ancrée dans la dernière période romantique et sa musique poursuit le , particulièrement dans ses mélodies où il subit l'influence de Richard Strauss et Hugo Wolf. Ses opéras, construits dans la tradition du vérisme de Puccini, avec des incorporations d'éléments du style symphonique romantique et de l'impressionnisme plutôt que de manière innovante.

Parmi ses œuvres – dont un grand nombre s'inspire de la culture et de l'histoire polonaise – les plus importantes sont les poèmes symphoniques Stańczyk (1903) et Anhelli (1909) ; son ballet Pan Twardowski est le premier ballet polonais à être joué à l'étranger, notamment à Copenhague, Prague, Brno, Zagreb, Belgrade et Vienne et plus de 800 fois à Varsovie. Le ballet Apollo i dziewczyna [Apollon et la jeune fille] eut sa création mondiale le  à Paris, lors de l'Exposition Universelle et fut récompensé d'une médaille d'or par le gouvernement français.

Parmi ses huit opéras, il faut citer Eros i Psyche (1914–1916) sur un livret de Jerzy Żuławski créé à Wrocław en 1917 et monté plus tard à Mannheim, Brême, Poznan, Stuttgart et Varsovie ; Beatrix Cenci (1916–1926) et Pan Twardowski (1921).
