Il castello di Rhede (in tedesco: Schloss Rhede o anche Haus Rhede) è una storica residenza in stile rinascimentale della città tedesca di Rhede, nel Münsterland (Renania Settentrionale-Vestfalia), realizzata a partire dal 1564.  L'edificio è di proprietà del casato di Salm-Salm e non è aperto al pubblico.

Storia
I proprietari originari del castello erano i signori Von Rhede, che fino al 1388 abitavano in una fortezza che si trovava nei pressi della residenza. Questa fortezza andò completamente distrutta nel 1324 nel corso di una faida tra i conti di Gheldria e il vescovo di Münster.

Anche se già nel 1426 il vescovo di Münster aveva dato il permesso per la ricostruzione del castello, le rovine della fortezza originaria vennero abbattute soltanto nel 1546. Questa fortezza aveva, tra l'altro, ispirato a Martin Lutero il canto liturgico Ein fester Burg ist unser Gott.

In seguito, nel 1564, i Von Rhede incaricarono l'architetto Lubbert von Rhemen di realizzare una nuova residenza.

Nel 1843 venne demolita l'ala sud-occidentale, che fu rifatta tra il 1845 e il 1846.  Quattro anni dopo, la proprietà del castello passò nelle mani del casato di Salm-Salm.

Nel 1980, venne intrapresa un'ampia opera di restauro dell'edificio.

Architettura
Dell'edificio del XVI secolo progettato da Von Rhemen rimane visibile la facciata nord-orientale.

Leggende
Attorno al castello di Rhede circolano varie leggende: secondo una leggenda, il castello sarebbe abitato dal fantasma di una nobile fanciulla, mentre un'altra leggenda parla di un duello in loco.

In a decade Morocco's OCP Group, the formerly state-owned phosphate-mining firm, has become the kingdom's behemoth. It is spending big on research, and expanding production and processing capacity, in order to grab more of the international market.
Just as the gold rush built Johannesburg, Morocco's town of Khouribga was built to service the monumental phosphate deposit discovered in Boujniba in 1917 – some 31% of global reserves. Since then its destiny has been inextricably linked to that of the Office Chérifien des Phosphates – now the OCP Group.
Leaving Khouribga to the south, looking towards Boujniba, you can't miss the huge mounds left by the extraction of millions of tonnes of phosphate rock. "There used to be many more," says Brahim Ramdani, OCP's director of mines in Khourigba. For several years now, the company has been flattening these mini-mountains and using them to plant millions of trees. It is just one of the thousands of projects in the $8bn investment programme OCP launched in 2008, which in 10 years has transformed the company and, with it, Khouribga. OCP is now Morocco's largest group, with a 2017 turnover of €4.3bn.
Back in the early years of the century, OCP's margins were small, and the company was caught up in the machinery of state, run by officials linked to the royal palace. Under Mostafa Terrab, it became a limited company in 2008 and restructured its management and operations: from logistics to sales. Over the next decade, OCP went from 28m tonnes of phosphates mined to 45m, and fertiliser output leapt from 3.6m tonnes to nearly 12m tonnes per annum. It now has a gross operating surplus of more than $1bn.
There have been other innovations. Where the rock was previously hauled by train 150km from the Khouribga mines to the port of Jorf Lasfar, it is now pumped through a metre-wide, steel and rubber slurry pipe. Sensors at each mine and along the pipeline allow a new data-management system to track volumes and identify problems as they develop. A plan to replicate the system for the mines of Ben Guerir is taking shape.
At the other end of the pipe, the port of Jorf Lasfar is transforming into the largest fertiliser production hub in the world, with a capacity to produce 11m tonnes of phosphate fertiliser per year and 6m tonnes of phosphoric acid. The whiff of sulphur wafts over the complex. Some 45 different blends of fertiliser are created there, ready to be shipped out from Jorf Lasfar, which last year overtook the port of Casablanca in tonnage exported.
Given the immense technical challenges, OCP is investing in research and training engineers. It built Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique at Ben Guerir, with its well-equiped laboratories to do research in agronomy, nanotechnology and soil analysis. Its current few hundred students should number 5,000 at maturity. The school has forged partnerships with the US-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), France's Ecole de Mines de Paris and Canada's Université Laval.
OCP chief economist, Mohamed Soual, adds: "The university allows us access to many research institutions around the world and allows us to participate in 'open innovation' […]. We can't keep chasing academics around the world and offering them consulting contracts." The group has even created a think tank, the OCP Policy Center, to tackle the political angles of global business.
Step inside OCP's headquarters in Casablanca, and you might think yourself in Silicon Valley. Even more so on the first floor, dubbed the 'Digital Factory'. A young woman wearing a hijab plays ping pong during lunch, and there are many whiteboards and Post-it notes. This US-inspired environment is not without business logic. Trade with the United States represents between 25% and 30% of the group's turnover.
But all is not plain sailing for OCP, which has faced hard times in the past (see box). There remains, for example, the domestic political context of the group, operating in the sensitive Western Sahara region. The Polisario Front, which does not recognise Morocco's sovereignty in the region, regularly tries to intercept OCP cargoes around the world. The OCP-backed Phosboucraa Foundation is trying to improve relations by investing in the city of Laayoune and elsewhere in the region.
And then there is the question of OCP's debt. To execute its expansion plans covering the period until 2027, OCP will need to invest more than $9bn. In May, it raised Dh5bn ($526m) on the local market, following fundraising of $2.6bn on the international markets in 2014 and 2015. Today, total debt is estimated at Dh45bn – about three times OCP's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. The company lost Dh1.6bn in the last financial year.

Summary: Diagnosed with schizophrenia, a young teenager is sent to a psychiatric hospital at the very start of World War II.
It's September 1939 and war has just been declared. Rowan is sitting on the doorstep when his Grandmother arrives, stalling and doing anything to avoid having to go with her on an emergency mission. He can hear his sister in the house, practising Moonlight Sonata on the piano. That's when the voices start, telling him a bomb will fall on them if he doesn't stop his sister playing. He tried to convince her but she doesn't listen, but the voices only get louder. He shuts the lid on her, breaking three of her fingers like twigs.
His Gran gets him away, driving like a maniac over to the German Ambassador's residence, where his dog has been left as he fled the country. They are stopped by a jobsworth policeman who eventually accompanies them to the house. The dog is distressed, and as Rowan's Grandmother tried to calm it the policeman won't shut up. The voices start again and Rowan draws a super-sharp pen knife to take to the policeman, but as the voices get louder he ends up stabbing himself.
Rowan has always been strange; his sisters call him Ro the Strange. But these recent events have been too much and his parents decide to get him help. While other children are being evacuated to the country, Rowan is sent to a psychiatric hospital where the latest treatments are available. But when he falls under the care of Doctor von Metzer he's subjected to an experimental treatment, so controversial, not even his parents have been told about it.
I have to tell you all, I couldn't put this book down and I mean that quite literally. I was reading it till 4am when I had a class the following morning. This is quite possibly the most amazing work of children's fiction I've read in the last two years. To give you something short and pithy, this book falls somewhere between Pat Barker's Regeneration and Michelle Magorian's Goodnight Mr Tom.
This book uses an omniscient narrative voice which, given the subject matter, works particularly well. It also enables a greater level of engagement with the book's subplots. The characters are absolutely fantastic, stunningly realised and brought to the page with such gusto that I didn't want it to end.
It probably goes without saying that this book is very dark, unsurprisingly but shockingly dark. So much so it might be worth chatting to younger children about the themes of this book if they're reading it. I get the distinct feeling that this novel will find itself on the national curriculum suggested texts list before long.
If I could give this book a higher rating than five stars, I would. I'm going to have to go back and read Julie's other novels now. If this is anything to go by they are probably excellent.
Thanks to the publishers for sending me a copy.
If this book appeals to you then we think that you might also enjoy Auslander by Paul Dowswell.

Horseshoe Meadows
Today's outing was a drive up the newly opened road to Horseshoe Meadows. It's an impressive road. Before it can be opened for the summer, the winter's accumulation of rocks, dirt, sand and debris must be removed by a front loader.
We drove up to the top and headed out on the Cottonwood trail.
It's a beautiful area. This is a downed tree. Look how shallow the root system is.
The trail takes you to the meadow. It's a high desert grass land with a little stream running through it. That is very cold water.
Another view of the meadows. We're at 10,000 feet here. Right after our arrival the wind picked up and we were freezing. We brought extra clothing, but not enough for that wind. We decided to bail.
I'm glad we went just to see it, but it wasn't pleasant hiking. The trails are not packed dirt, they're sand. I just hate walking in sand. There are also many signs advising the public that it's an active bear area. Bears freak me out pretty much. After about half an hour we were both getting headaches which I attribute to being at 10,000 feet. However, I got 35 minutes of walking at a reasonable pace in thin air.
This is a bear box. You are required to put all food and scented items in these boxes so the bears don't ransack the campground. There is a large area where people can tent camp. We were wondering if all of the food was stored away, why wouldn't the bears just open up a tent for a tasty snack?
On the way back down. This is Owens Lake. It used to be a huge lake, but it was drained to provide water for LA. After the water was gone, chemicals used for making glass were discovered on the lake bottom and are now being mined. This is the source of the dust that bedeviled the residents of Manzanar. There is a dust mitigation program in progress, they're putting water back in the lake bed.
A view from the heights. See the little green blob in the lower right corner? That's the RV park where we are currently staying. The owner has planted many trees.
More going down the hill. Half of the right lane has gone over the edge and down the hillside, so now it's a single lane.
See the switch backs? That's where we were driving.
So that and laundry was how we spent the day.

HappyHolidays! makes it easy to create personalized photo cards, perfect for sending to family and friends. Use any digital photo, add a background, a personal message, and build the perfect photo card. Users may stylize the message and create as many variations as they wish for each card.
Unlike most pre-designed cards ordered from photo centers, HappyHolidays! is not limited to a set number of characters or lines for personalized messages. It works just like a word processor, offering the user much more freedom to set the text attributes (font, color, size, and alignment) of their message. Add multiple images, and use simple image manipulation controls to crop and resize images. And users are not limited to one language. Personalize messages in any language supported by Mac OS X.
Deliver photo cards in any of three, convenient methods: via email, a personal color printer, or at the local photo center. HappyHolidays! allows users to easily email a photo card using Apple's Mail application by converting it into a jpeg file and attaching it to a new Mail message. At any time users may print their photo cards on their own color printer at home. And users may significantly reduce cost by saving photo cards as hi-res jpegs and printing them at their local photo center as normal prints.
Among HappyHolidays! most useful features is its ability to save money when printing HappyHolidays! photo cards as normal prints rather than than ordering pre-designed photo cards from a photo center. Pre-designed Holiday Cards can cost as much as $0.84 per card with a required minimum 50 copy order. Conversely, printing 4"x6" prints is very inexpensive - as low as $0.12 each with no minimum order.

HappyHolidays! 2.10 is priced at only $10.00 (USD). A full-featured demo is available for download. The unregistered application is limited in that all saved images will include a watermark.

Veteran singer-songwriter Jim Paredes came clean with the raunchy video clip which made rounds online, retracting his earlier denial that it was him on it.
Amid criticisms against Paredes, some Filipinos called on others to stop sharing and giving links of the scandal online.
Laughing at my friend Jim Paredes and his predicament doesn't make you, video thieves and sharers, any better than him. The lengths you went through to reveal his private data are CRIMINAL and you should be charged. You violated his privacy. Karma boomerangs big time.
April Fools' or not, please stop sharing Jim Paredes' video.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe has received her share of accolades in the 21st century with a tribute album and book, both titled Shout, Sister, Shout and a documentary called The Godmother of Rock and Roll. In 2018, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And for good reason: her live performances were commanding, whether she was playing churches, jazz clubs, or concert halls throughout the world. She had a majestic stage presence, statuesque with her guitar strapped over our shoulder, engaging the audience in a one-on-one relationship with her boundless charisma. So why did it take more than a generation for her to be recognized for her influence, especially in the rock and roll world?
Sister Tharpe was born on March 20, 1915. Her mother, Katie, was also a singer and Rosetta began performing with her at age four. When she was six, they moved to Chicago and began singing with the Church of God in Christ, in the Bronzeville neighborhood. It was there that Rosetta began to be recognized for both her talents as a singer and accomplished guitarist.
Katie and Rosetta traveled the gospel circuit throughout the 1920s establishing themselves as powerful performers in the Pentecostal community. In 1934 she married a preacher named Thomas Thorpe. They lived in Miami and she sang regularly in the Miami Temple. Though they were well received, the marriage faltered and while they did not officially divorce until 1943, their separation began as early as 1937.
In 1938, Sister Rosetta and her mother moved to New York City, replacing the "o" in Thorpe with an "a" creating the Tharpe name that she used for the rest of her life. In NYC she began a successful run of mixing gospel with secular music in jazz clubs including the Cotton Club performing with swing bandleader Lucky Millinder. She had a hit with "Tall Skinny Papa" a song not as raunchy as some blues songs of the era, yet this secular music still upset some of her gospel fans. In The Godmother of Rock and Roll, friend and songwriter Roxy Moore said that Tharpe told her that she was bound by contract to sing the secular songs.
Beginning in the mid-1940s, Tharpe made some pivotal career moves. With her marriage to Thorpe legally ended up in 1943, she also left the Millinder band and returned to an exclusively gospel career. She recorded a song in 1944 that was a major milestone: with a stripped-down band led by pianist Sammy Price, "Strange Things Happening Every Day" is a template for rock and roll with its topical lyrics foreshadowing the folk-rock era by 20 years. And, Tharpe's stressing of the last word of some of her lines can be heard in admirer Bob Dylan's singing.
Several years later, Tharpe joined forces with singer Marie Knight, performing to sold-out gospel crowds across the country. Knight matched Tharpe's charisma and vocal ability, providing a legendary following among gospel fans, with songs like "Up Above My Head" and "Didn't It Rain." The legendary partnership ended tragically after Knight's two children and her mother died in a fire in 1948 while the duo was on tour.
Sister Rosetta toured with the vocal group the Jordanaires in the late forties and early fifties, one of the first multiracial gospel pairings. The Jordanaires went on to sing backup for Elvis Presley, who especially liked Tharpe's guitar playing. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins were also fans.
When British musicians were beginning to discover Afro-American artists, an opportunity for Tharpe to tour England presented itself. She played with bandleader Chris Barber in 1957 who provided Dixieland-style arrangements to some of her most famous songs. British audiences embraced her and she continued to tour England and other parts of Europe until 1970 (Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton have all cited her UK appearances as a huge influence on them). In an especially charming performance from 1964, she plays to an enthusiastic crowd at a railway station in Manchester. There is also a moving video from Copenhagen in 1970 of her singing "Precious Lord" in what is thought to be her last recorded performance.
Tharpe's health began to falter in her later years as she had developed diabetes. Also, the death of her mother in 1968, a constant in her life, greatly affected her. She moved to Philadelphia with her third husband and manager Russell Morrison, where she stayed until her death in 1973.
Though it has taken many years for her music to be given its due, she is now considered one of the most talented and influential female artists of the past century. It would be easy to look on this posthumous recognition cynically but in keeping with her upbeat demeanor, Sister Rosetta would have instead been overjoyed by it!
Thanks for writing this. Her early 50s Decca recording of "Amazing Grace" had a profound influence on me and changed how I perform the song. Ironically, there's no guitar on that.


You know we've been long into Canada's Ruby Coast, so much so that we had them play our SXSW Party back in 09′. Finally, the band have their debut ready for your ears, and today only they're offering it up for your ears for absolutely free! The album is called Whatever This Is, and we've been jamming to it all day long over here. You definitely have to give this band a try, and like I said, if you go HERE, their debut record is totally FREE!. So go, preview it before you get it even, just try it on for size. There's a small sample below.
Amidst the craziness that is summer, we somehow missed out some new tunes from our old Canadian friends Ruby Coast. Apparently the guys have two new songs available for download, one of which "Creep Me Out" can be found for your enjoyment below. The other song "Whatever It Is" has a sweet video companion that can be streamed/seen on the band's website. Both songs will appear on an upcoming LP from Ruby Coast due out next year.

This week, we are studying the Epistle to the Hebrews. The question as to talk about one passage and the imagery contained therein.
Hebrews 1.1-3 is a favorite passage of mine because in it, I find my Christology, especially centered on the word ὑποστάσεως, but the entire chapter is a harkening back to the prophets of a mythological and foggy time, the era of the better days, so to speak. Here, the author sets out the tone of the homiletic discourse and showcases his (or her, since the author is unknown) style of how he will take various passages from the soon-to-be Old Testament and from them, brings forth Christ. Sometimes, I think that the author may be employing a chiastic structure, but the last peak remains firmly unannounced; however, the author starts with God, the highest, and ends with the angels who serve humanity.
Throughout this passage, the author is using the image of Wisdom in Proverbs and language similar to the brief snippet of the Book of Wisdom as well as quoting from the Psalmists. In this chapter, he uses the creation of the world as the backdrop to show where Christ came from. Further, our author used the imagery of inheriting a name and becoming better than the angels. This author then uses the imagery provided by the Psalms to stand Christ up against the angels. The writer establishes Christ's pedigree and then establishes His position in heaven and all by using the Hebrew Scriptures (although most likely in the form of the LXX).This will be a trend throughout the rest of the book, to always bring back Christ to the Old Testament. Many books have been written on preaching the Old Testament in the Christian church. This was the first, and by far, the best example of how to do so.

Charlie Akin (First Order Stormtrooper)
Charlie Akin
First Order Stormtrooper, Captain Phasma (stand-in) (The Force Awakens)
Interview: March 2016
Mr. Akin, let's start at the beginning: How did you get started in the movie business?
I had just come back from university and not sure what I was going to do next. I heard that there was an open casting for supporting artistes (extras) for Wrath of the Titans in Wales. I was selected, and worked on the film for the Wales location of the filming. I enjoyed it so decided to sign up with more of the major agencies that supplied extras to film industry.
How did you get cast for Star Wars: The Force Awakens as a Stormtrooper and as the stand-in of Captain Phasma?
I was signed up with the agency that supplied the extras and was put forward based on the 5ft10″ – 6ft2″ brief. Myself, along with circa 80 others, attended an assessment day and were graded on the way the outfit fitted and looked on us as well as how we performed in basic military tasks and manoeuvres e.g. marching, standing in ranks and responding to orders, left/right turns, walking up/down stairs. It was narrowed down to about 12 core Stormtroopers that were used constantly throughout UK filming. Thankfully I was one of them!
As for Captain Phasma stand-in, I only stood in for her for 2 days. She would have had a regular stand-in that for whatever reason wasn't there those days so I filled in based on similar attributes. Despite her being a female and myself a male, these were height/build/hair colour similarities.
In which scenes can we see you as a Stormtrooper and what was your exact task as Phasma's stand-in? Are there scenes in which you are Phasma?
The most obvious time you see me as a Stormtrooper is in the opening scene on Jakku walking down the ship on the right behind Kylo Ren. I'm also amongst all of the Stormtroopers in the ship as its travelling to Jakku. All command centre scenes I was in but quite hard to accurately point out where exactly because you never know which take is used in post-production and often things are changed in between takes. Any scene with heavy usage of Stormtroopers I'll be in and amongst it. You do see me walk across screen as part of the Rebel Alliance at the base. I was multiple characters.
So as the title name suggests, I would literally be standing in front of the camera in a replica Phasma costume whilst the camera/lighting crew and others are setting themselves up around me ready for when Gwendoline steps in and gives her performance. It's a more efficient way of using the actors time. So no I'm in not in any scenes as Phasma, because stand-ins are used for off camera purposes.
Did you talk with Gwendoline Christie about the part of Phasma? How was it working with her?
No. Generally speaking it's not common practice to speak to the actors and instructions are passed on by assistant directors. We only shared a brief personal hello together. She was very enthusiastic about being there and part of the production.
Were you a Star Wars fan before you got cast? What was the first time you saw a Star Wars movie and what is your personal favorite?
I was a mild fan yes. As a youngster (about 11 or 12) I was fascinated by the imagery and had some of the various merchandise like the flickout lightsaber! My favourite from a nostalgic perspective would have to be Return of the Jedi, but because I was part of it, The Force Awakens as it holds sentimental value.
Regarding your time on the set of Star Wars: were there extraordinary or funny things that happened on and off the set?
Yes. It was funny when we were running down the ship's ramp after landing on Jakku, many Stormtroopers were falling over due to sight being very limited in the helmet and the un-evenness of the sand's terrain. Seeing explosions go off and stunt men flying in the air is always an extraordinary sight!
Did you get to interact with the main cast like Harrison Ford, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega and Daisy Ridley? How were they?
No. Unfortunately there weren't any scenes where I interacted with the main cast. I was close to them at points and everyone seemed very happy to be there.
Besides the movie you also did a couple of promotional events dressed as a Stormtrooper. I saw a photo of Carrie Fisher holding your hand (while you're dressed as a Stormtrooper). What was it like doing these events?
Great! That photo you're referring to is from the European premiere in London, UK. It was a very exciting event to do. We walked down the red carpet in ranks and then myself and a few others were standing at the press area where celebrities have their pictures taken. A few pictures of myself and Carrie were in some of the UK's nation press! They're available online.
Episode VIII is currently filming and Rogue One will be released in December. Will we see you again in one of these?
Yes!….Well hopefully! Because the original Stormtrooper design costumes were used for Rogue One, I didn't fit into it thus couldn't be a Stormtrooper. But I was a marine soldier as part of the resistance.
As for Episode VIII, I'll be returning as a Stormtrooper and will be filming soon!!
My final question: please finish the following sentence: "Looking back at working on Star Wars: The Force Awakens…"
Looking back at working on Star Wars: The Force Awakens I'd like to thank everyone that made it possible for me to work on such an exhilarating project. Bring on the next one!

Q: Why is my display resolution different from screen.width * devicePixelRatio? On the MDN documentation on devicePixelRatio it says:

(devicePixelRatio) tells the browser how many of the screen's actual pixels should be used to draw a single CSS pixel.

... so I would expect that my display horizontal resolution would be:
window.devicePixelRatio * window.screen.width = 2 * 1792 = 3584
... but no. My display horizontal resolution is 3072.
Why is that?

A: It seems to me that the specification is not accurate enough here.

(devicePixelRatio) tells the browser how many of the screen's actual pixels should be used to draw a single CSS pixel.

It's should be something like:

(devicePixelRatio) tells the browser how many of the screen's actual CSS pixels should be used to draw a single CSS pixel.

Because those "actual pixels" are not actually actual. No pun intended.
I found this excellent answer to a similar question, but I don't like the "you don't need it" rhetoric. TL;DR - The browser does this mainly for legacy reasons.
Also, I found a huge topic on w3c github about "Ability to address actual physical size", in CSS, but anyway. And there are so many "meh, it's not that simple... you know..." messages. I like this one: "there is no clear concept of what a px is".
Turns out that actually you can get the real aspect ratio. At least it works for me. I have a MacBook with a 15-inch display. The real resolution is 2880x1800. In the settings, I have a resolution 1680x1050 (on which window.screen is relying). And a real aspect ratio is 1.6, not 2 (hello window.devicePixelRatio).
The aspectRatio property from MediaTrackConstraints returns the real aspect ratio: 1.6.
const [track] = (await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia()).getVideoTracks();
console.log(track.getSettings().aspectRatio);

But there is one big caveat, this whole "Media Stream API" is about capturing video from the screen, that's why you have to get permissions for it to work. I couldn't find anything else that returns the real aspect ratio but this.
That's all I found in an hour or so, I hope there is enough information to make some conclusions.

Q: Techniques for getting the value of a specific cell in an SfDataGrid I'm creating a very simple inventory control application intended to be used by a single person. I thought I would get fancy and use some of Syncfusion's controls for a better looking UI. Unfortunately, it would appear that SfDataGrid does not contain any of the same functions as a DataGridView. I'm having trouble using the technique they offer for getting cell values. Below is the snippet I got from their documentation:
private static string GetCellValue(SfDataGrid dGrid, int rowIndex, int columnIndex)
    {
        string cellValue;
        if (columnIndex < 0)
            return string.Empty;
        var mappingName = dGrid.Columns[columnIndex].MappingName;
        var recordIndex = dGrid.TableControl.ResolveToRecordIndex(rowIndex);
        if (recordIndex < 0)
            return string.Empty;
        if (dGrid.View.TopLevelGroup != null)
        {
            var record = dGrid.View.TopLevelGroup.DisplayElements[recordIndex];
            if (!record.IsRecords)
                return string.Empty;
            var data = (record as RecordEntry).Data;
            cellValue = (data.GetType().GetProperty(mappingName).GetValue(data, null).ToString());
        }
        else
        {
            var record1 = dGrid.View.Records.GetItemAt(recordIndex);
            cellValue = (record1.GetType().GetProperty(mappingName).GetValue(record1, null).ToString());
        }

        return cellValue;
    }

This works fine until the point where it calls GetProperty(mappingName) in the cellValue assignment. I want to get the System ID of the item in question as my database will use that to delete specific items. This method will get the mapping name of the column I need, but it does not pull the data from the cell and I cannot figure out why. Below is a capture of the Autos window to show the variables related to the function:
Auto Tab displaying related variables, such as cellValue and mappingName. It clearly demonstrates cellValue returning null when it should contain a string of an integer.
cellValue should contain a string of an integer I will then base to my database to delete the specified item. I have tried getting the collection of columns and looping through them until the matching mapping name is found and just hard wiring the column index. As far as I know column and row indexing is not the issue. The index for the System ID column is 6 and the row indexing is accessed through click event arguments using e.DataRow.RowIndex. This function below is what calls the GetCellValue function, it may be of some use in determining this issue.
private void inventoryGridView_CellClick(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.CellClickEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.DataColumn.ColumnIndex == 0)
        {
            return;
        }
        if (e.DataColumn.ColumnIndex == 7)
        {
            if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to delete this item?", "Confirmation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes)
            {
                //TODO: Make delete buttons work
                //this code below calls a function that may not be working properly
                // Get the row index value
                var rowIndex = e.DataRow.RowIndex;
                //Get the column index value
                var columnIndex = 6;
                //Get the cell value
                var cellValue = GetCellValue(inventoryGridView, rowIndex, columnIndex);
                MessageBox.Show("Cell value \t:  " + cellValue, "Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
            }
            return;
        }
    }

inventoryGridView is my SfDataGrid, while column index 7 is a column of delete buttons that should delete the item they share a row with. Please let me know if anymore information is needed and I will provide it. I did find this sample on GitHub, but it is identical to the documentation on Syncfusion's website. I also remember reading a stackoverflow post that was identical to this Syncfusion forum post, reply and everything. Though that was of no help either as it seems to imply GetCellValue should already be a member method and that is not true in my case at the least.
Finally, here is a picture of my SfDataGrid so all of you can see the full picture: SfDataGrid inventoryGridView sample picture.

A: So for anyone falling into the same abyss I did, here are some answers:
The Syncfusion approved method does not work outside of their sample projects (at least for me and it seems many others). the GetItemAt() function actually returns a DataRowView, not the item object you are looking for. To actually pull values off of a specific cell you need to replace these lines of code:
var record1 = dGrid.View.Records.GetItemAt(recordIndex);
cellValue = (record1.GetType().GetProperty(mappingName).GetValue(record1, null).ToString());

With this line of code:
DataRowView record1 = dGrid.View.Records.GetItemAt(recordIndex) as DataRowView;
cellValue = (record1[mappingName].ToString());

I am not 100% sure on why this fix has worked for me but the Microsoft documents on DataRowView guided me to what I needed after I figured out what exactly was being returned. Here, I am using the DataRowView.Item[] property to get what I need.
I hope this helps anyone finding themselves in my situation, here is a link to the property documentation that I mentioned above: DataRowView.Item[]

A: Based on provided information the reported problem occurs due to a mismatched typecast of getting DataRow in SfDataGrid.
You can resolve the reported problem by typecast the record1 and data objects into DataRowView like below-mentioned code snippet,
private static string GetCellValue(SfDataGrid dGrid, int rowIndex, int columnIndex)
{

        string cellValue;
        if (columnIndex < 0)
            return string.Empty;
        var mappingName = dGrid.Columns[columnIndex].MappingName;
        var recordIndex = dGrid.TableControl.ResolveToRecordIndex(rowIndex);
        if (recordIndex < 0)
            return string.Empty;
        if (dGrid.View.TopLevelGroup != null)
        {
            var record = dGrid.View.TopLevelGroup.DisplayElements[recordIndex];
            if (!record.IsRecords)
                return string.Empty;
            var data = (record as RecordEntry).Data;
            //below case using for ObservableCollection binded in dataGrid
            //cellValue = (data.GetType().GetProperty(mappingName).GetValue(data, null).ToString());

            //below case using for DataTable Collection binded in dataGrid
            cellValue = (data as DataRowView).Row[mappingName].ToString();
        }
        else
        {
            var record1 = dGrid.View.Records.GetItemAt(recordIndex);

            //below case using for ObservableCollection binded in dataGrid
            //cellValue = (record1.GetType().GetProperty(mappingName).GetValue(record1, null).ToString());

            //below case using for DataTable Collection binded in dataGrid
            cellValue = (record1 as DataRowView).Row[mappingName].ToString();
        }

        return cellValue;
    }

Isn't this the shop you need for your cookware?


The darkness of night is increasing in its potency as the New Moon culminates on Dec 11 at 2:29 am (PST) and the nights lengthen as we approach the Winter Solstice. This darkness is a time for retreat and recovery and can push us to take empowering new steps towards self-care and healing. Darkness holds depth and stillness, like a womb that can germinate better dreams of the future and rebuild our inner strength and wisdom.
This is the final New Moon of the year and a powerful moment to dissolve old habits and dream up new intentions.
The New Moon, in particular, calls forth the power of the Dark Feminine. It will plunge into the ancient depths of sidereal Scorpio where life-giving waters also hold the dark mystery of death and endings. There is a misunderstood and often undermined power of femininity that is exemplified here: the eldest phase of a woman's life, the shakti of the Crone - and the respect that her seniority earns.
The New Moon will take place right in the heart of the constellation of Scorpio, where the red-giant star Antares lies. This is the star of Jyestha, "the eldest wife." Jyestha is the mysterious goddess who is said to be the elder sister of Laksmi the goddess of wealth and prosperity. However, unlike her beautiful and auspicious sister she has been labeled as the terrible harbinger of poverty and hardship. But Jyestha dates back almost 2000 years and her image may be much older. She is often depicted as a plump, heavy breasted woman (implying fertility), with her legs open and feet planted solidly on the ground. She is the image of female authority and power in the family.
In ancient Indian society it was upheld that within a polygamous family the first wife had special rights and authority, such as administrative power over a large family and the right to participate in religious ceremonies with her husband. Although Jyestha has been given the modern reputation of being unruly and slothful, she is the ancient goddess of the "senior wife," She seems to be a nearly forgotten matriarch, who like the firstborn of the gods, Indra, has had to defend her authority constantly. While threatened by the arrival of younger wives, she continues to hold her position by seniority.
On an astrological level this deep and perplexing place for the dark moon is not supportive of marriage, social gatherings, or investment ventures, especially since it is transiting Saturn. Situations may seem heavy and we may feel anxious or even depressed; however the transformative potential of this dark shakti is considerable. If possible, it is best channeled into the inner worlds, spending time in quiet reflection. This dark moon is a portal to the secret and forgotten worlds of our hearts and the broken hearts of our ancestors. It is a time to look back over our lives and heal old wounds and uproot self-sabotaging behaviors and addictions. Jyestha can empower aspects of ourselves that we may have silenced or shamed.
The source of deep insecurities, jealousy, and negative beliefs in relationships can also be exposed. Try to take it easy on yourself and others. Be patient if faced with defensiveness and reactivity and remember that it is often coming from a place of ignorance and suffering. Overall, open your heart and allow space for healing, you have the right to everything you feel. It is, after all, the unruly and angry wisdom of the ancient goddess that has the power to set us free.
Although weakened by surrounding planets, Venus is gaining power in her Mulatrikona sign and is spiritually energized by a mystic trine from Neptune. Despite the insecurities and confusion, a great deal of compassion and understanding can open to us now, especially for those in a dasha or sub-dasha cycle of Venus.
To find out what dasha cycle you are running and how the current transits affect your individual chart, schedule a personal Vedic Astrology reading with me here.


The prematch meal needs to be composed largely of carbohydrates which help with replacing energy stores in the liver and muscles. For ease of digestion and clearance from the gastrointestinal tract, the fat and fibre content should be kept low.
Examples of ideal foods for the prematch meal include pasta, grilled chicken, steak, salmon, mashed or sweet potato, peas, carrots, cereals, toast, fresh fruit juices and low fat fresh salads.

Black box of doomed Chinese jet found as it's revealed pilots did not respond to multiple calls from air-traffic controllers
Chinese authorities searching the site where a China Eastern jet crashed, killing all 132 people on board, have found the aircraft's black box.
Liu Lusong, a spokesman for China's aviation authority told reporters the flight recorder 'from China Eastern MU5735 was found on March 23'.
The discovery comes after the head of aviation safety revealed pilots of the doomed flight did not respond to multiple calls from air-traffic controllers as the plane entered a fatal dive into a mountainside.
The Chinese Boeing 737-800 was carrying 123 passengers and nine crew from Kunming in Yunnan province to Guangzhou when it crashed on Monday afternoon March 21, outside the city of Wuzhou in the Guangxi region.
All 132 people onboard are presumed dead after rescue workers speculated that the fire resulting from the crash had 'totally incinerated' the passengers and their belongings, before causing damage to the surrounding forest.
An air-traffic controller tried to contact the pilots several times after seeing the plane's altitude drop sharply but got no reply, Zhu Tao, director of the Office of Aviation Safety at the Civil Aviation Authority of China, said at a news conference on Tuesday evening.
'As of now, the rescue has yet to find survivors,' Mr. Zhu said. 'The public security department has taken control of the site.'
The plane went into an unexplained dive an hour after departure, suddenly plummeting 30,000ft in two minutes before slamming into the ground at 350mph.
Investigators, who say it is too early to speculate on the cause of the crash, said the plane stopped transmitting data 96 seconds into the fall.
The investigation, which Zhu said would be 'very difficult', was temporarily suspended on Wednesday after rain soaked the debris field and filled the red-dirt gash formed by the plane's fiery impact.
Zhu said the investigative team would make 'all-out efforts' to collect evidence and that they were focusing on searching for the aircraft's flight recorder box.
'We will take into consideration all factors in analysing the cause of the accident,' he added.
Local media identified the captain of the aircraft as being Yang Hongda, the son of a former airline pilot, who aviation professionals said had an 'excellent' safety record.
The first officer was named as Zhang Zhengping, a 58-year-old with 40 years experience and more than 30,000 hours of safe flying, reported the Times.

Young Dolph's Alleged Killer Drops New Song Instead of Turning Himself in Like He Claimed
Aleia Woods Published: January 11, 2022

The man accused of killing Young Dolph hasn't turned himself in to authorities like he announced he would. Instead, he released some new music.
On Monday (Jan. 10), Memphis rapper Straight Dropp, also known as 23-year-old Justin Johnson, who is wanted for Dolph's murder, dropped a music video for his new song "Track Hawk." The new visual arrived on the same day Dropp said he was going to turn himself in, but it looks like he is still on the run.
Over the weekend, Straight Dropp posted a message on his Instagram Story, which read, "Turning Myself In Monday @201 I'm Innocent 🙏🏽I'll Be Back Sooner Than You Can Blink."

Last week, the Memphis Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued a wanted fugitive alert on social media, seeking the public's help in obtaining information on the rapper's whereabouts.
The wanted alert said, "Justin Johnson is wanted by the Memphis Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for First Degree Murder, Criminal Attempt-First Degree Murder, and Theft of Property $10,000-$60,000. Justin Johnson should be considered armed and dangerous."
Days after the MPD and the TBI put out the alert, an image of Straight Dropp and Dolph in a club together began circulating online. In the photo, Dropp is standing behind the late rapper. Another picture, a screenshot from Straight Dropp's music video for his song "Stepped On" featuring Big Homiie G, also started making its round on the internet as Dropp is seen wearing a PRE chain on his pants. PRE stands for Paper Route Empire, Young Dolph's record label.
Young Dolph was shot and killed inside Makeda's Butter Cookies in Memphis on Nov. 17, 2021. The police since have shared images of Dolph's suspected killers as well as the vehicle used as the getaway car, a white Mercedes-Benz.
A white Benz was discovered and towed from the driveway of a home connected to Dolph after his murder.
Straight Dropp also reportedly filmed a music video—which was removed from his YouTube page—in front of that same home.
The investigation into Young Dolph's murder appears to be ongoing.

Liberal and Higher Education for a Free Society in Latin America
This colloquium discussed the fundamental aspects of a liberal education based on liberty and responsibility. Conferees had an opportunity to analyze, through a selection of classical texts on education, not only the idea of a university based on the liberal education tradition, but also a number of problems, such as the relationship in Latin American universities of liberal education with civic virtues, and the convenience of public higher education.

The Battle of Arroyo dos Molinos took place on 28 October 1811 during the Peninsular War. An allied force under General Rowland Hill trapped and defeated, a French force under General Jean-Baptiste Girard, forcing the latter's dismissal by the Emperor Napoleon. A whole French infantry division and a brigade of cavalry were destroyed as viable fighting formations.
2 Order of battle
2.1 British
2.2 French
Background[edit | edit source]
In the middle of October, 1811 a French division under the command of Jean-Baptiste Girard crossed the River Guardiana at Mérida and campaigned in Northern Extremadura.[1] Major-General Rowland Hill consulted with General Wellington and received permission to pursue Girard with his Second Division. Upon learning that the French had halted at the village of Arroyo dos Molinos, near Alcuéscar, Hill force-marched his troops for three days in poor weather so as to catch the French before they moved on.
By the evening of the 27 October, Hill's forces had reached a point four miles from the French at Arroyo dos Molinos, and had the area around the enemy surrounded. The 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot was ordered to occupy the village of Alcuéscar, three miles from Arroyo. During the night there was a violent hail-storm, and on the following morning the weather was still so foul that the French pickets on duty had their backs turned so as to gain some reprieve from the wind and rain - it was from this direction that Hill's forces attacked at dawn on the 28th.[2]
The French 34th and 40th Regiments suffered extremely heavy losses during the battle, although to Marshal Soult's relief the eagle standards of the two regiments were not lost to the British. He wrote to Napoleon: L'honneur des armes est sauvé; les Aigles ne sont pas tombés au pouvoir de l'ennemi. [The honour of the army is saved; the Eagles did not fall into the hands of the enemy.][3]
Long's cavalry charged, the 2nd Hussars KGL particularly distinguishing themselves, and broke the French cavalry. Over 200 of them were captured plus three pieces of artillery.[4]
On 5 November a jubilant Hill (who would be made a Knight of the Bath for Arroyo dos Molinos) wrote to his sister;
" I have time merely to inform you that on the morning of the 28th at daybreak I succeeded in surprising, attacking, and annihilating the French corps under General Girard at Arroyo dos Molinos. The enemy's force, when attacked, consisted of about 3,000 infantry, 1,600 cavalry and artillery. The result is the capture of one general (Bron), one colonel (the Prince d'Aremberg commander of the 27th Chasseurs), 35 lieutenant-colonels and inferior officers, 1,400 prisoners, and probably 500 killed. The others dispersed, having thrown away their arms; we have also got all the enemy's artillery, baggage, and magazines—in short, everything that belonged to the corps.[5] "
The French eagles may "not have fallen into the hands of the enemy", however, the greatest prize for the 34th [Cumberland] Regiment, (who harboured a long held ambition to take on their opposite French number) was the capture of six side-drums and the French Drum-Major's staff which, after a tustle, was taken from the French Drum-Major by Sergeant Moses Simpson of the 34th's Grenadier Company. Included in the haul was the French grenadier company drum, the shell of which is emblazoned with three grenadier 'ball and flame'. These magnificent trophies of war had been presented to the 34e Regiment d'Infanterie de Ligne by none other Napoleon himself when the French regiment was founded in 1796. The drums and drum majors staff are on display in The Border Regiment museum, Carlisle Castle.

Five newly sworn Gardaí assigned to northwest region
Five newly sworn members of An Garda Síochána have been assigned to the northwest region, which is headquartered in Galway City.
These come from a group of 24 new Gardaí who were sworn in last Friday, bringing the total size of the force in Ireland to police 14,157 officers.
These members of An Garda Síochána are the last members to have applied to join An Garda Síochána during the 2019 recruitment campaign.
The new Gardaí commenced their Garda training in May 2022, and have undertaken a blend of on-line learning, on-site learning in the Garda College, and experiential learning in training Garda stations.
Speaking at the attestation ceremony, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said, "Our duties and responsibilities as Ireland's national police and security service have broadened substantially since our foundation 100 year ago."
"But one thing has remained resolute – the strong and unique bond with the communities that we serve – firmly built on a tradition of policing by consent."
"Policing with and for the people to allow them live freely from violence, crime and fear."
"As these new Gardaí now go to serve in cities, towns and villages, they will play an important role in maintaining this connection."
"In providing that service, they should never lose sight of the importance of treating every single person they encounter with dignity and respect."
There are a further 89 recruits currently in the training programme at Templemore Garda College.
The next intake of Garda recruits from the 2022 recruitment campaign are scheduled to enter the Garda College before end of February 2023.

Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians Review – A Sports Documentary Too Enamoured By Its Own Access To Craft A Story
There is only so much backstage action one can appreciate before the fatigue of theatrical familiarity sets in
Producer: Conde Nast Entertainment
Streaming on: Netflix
Cricket documentaries in India rarely aim beyond the easy annals of access filmmaking. In a way, this genre reflects the sociocultural inadequacies of a nation whose many estates rely on visibility and "contacts" to appease its citizens. There seems to be a clear notion among filmmakers that die-hard cricket enthusiasts are more than happy to be insatiable voyeurs…and that they would rather hear old stories in the voice of its famous participants than new stories aching to be discovered. As a result, we hardly see anyone truly interested in investigating the nature of the game. All we see, then, are behind-the-scenes visual representations of facts that already exist, with insights that refuse to extend beyond the polite nosiness of the cameras.
In that sense, Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians represents the peak of sanitized access porn. This, only a few years after Sachin: A Billion Dreams simply exploited an incurable sense of nostalgia to present a narrative that looked like it had been edited by the man himself. Similarly, it's the franchise owners here, the Ambanis, who are positioned to define the 'image' of this particular 8-episode series. Young Akash Ambani is a constant presence on the field and in the dressing room, which is why one can't help but imagine that the cameras are only allowed as much freedom as the wealthiest Indian family in the world deems appropriate.
But forget about what we don't see. For starters, the series chooses an unremarkable IPL campaign to wax intimate about. There is nothing more futile than trying to make a story out of a non-story. In striving to depict the Mumbai Indians' middling 2018 season as a monumental piece of T20 history, the makers lose half the battle. Rohit Sharma's team finished fifth, with no against-all-odds comebacks and cranky controversies, a year after they won their third title against Pune in a memorable final. The effort to dramatize is obvious, especially in the way the squad is profiled as young and immature in the wake of the reshuffling IPL auction. Almost every player – from Ishan Kishan to Aditya Tare, Jasprit Bumrah to Suryakumar Yadav, Mitchell McClenaghan to Evan Lewis – is afforded a mandatory background package, in the hope that at least one of these sub-threads will find a resolution that defines the team's performance. Given how abruptly the show wraps up, though, you can sense that the makers were desperately praying for a happy ending without a Plan B up their sleeves.
In striving to depict the Mumbai Indians' middling 2018 season as a monumental piece of T20 history, the makers lose half the battle
There is also too much impetus on the team's campaign itself, where they start out by losing 5 of the first 6 games before staging somewhat of a signature revival. It might have been more useful to delve deeper into the psychological state of perhaps just a few key characters instead of half-heartedly committing to the whole bunch. Retired Sri Lankan legend Mahela Jayawardene, now the Mumbai Indians' head coach, is ironically the only 'character' expressive enough to incite intrigue about the internal machinery of a significant sports tournament. Yet, the camera stops short of unravelling the man behind the manager, thus missing out on an opportunity to examine the mental constitution required by foreigners to traverse the highways of the two-month-long cricket carnival.
Even the most ardent IPL fans might agree that the novelty of "insider-ness" wears off after the first few episodes. It's always hard to resist footage from boardrooms and hotel rooms, the obscenely lavish Antilia residence (a team-bonding session culminates in a treasure-hunt) and practice nets, team buses and airplanes. Who doesn't like to see Rohit Sharma tucking into a buffet of curious-looking health food after failing to inspire his boys? But there is only so much backstage action one can appreciate before the fatigue of theatrical familiarity sets in. Soon, you begin to notice repetitive tropes – the Azad Maidan legacy, the "Mumbai: Mecca of Cricket" opening sequences, the academic journalist voices, the token player-introduction montages, the over-conscious family reactions (a player's mother speaks to her son as if she were narrating to us a voiceover about his aspirations). And most of all, the stock cricket-is-a-religion spectator shots, in which a sense of exoticism (the makers are not Indian) seeps into the way we see the same cross-section of fans – three boys tuning into their phone screens on Marine Drive, a tailor-shop veteran, office guys at a pub – react to all the Mumbai Indians games.
These formulaic constructions of suspense further suggest that there is no variety, no organic allowances, to the tone of the series. Much of it seems too designed to reveal how cricket – or even a cash-rich domestic T20 tournament – moulds the routines of a city that prides itself on impenetrable rhythm. Mumbai and Indians go hand in hand, after all. If only the team had played along with this myth.

During the pre-season Ken Whitfield Moved away from Maine Road after just over a year at the club, signing for brighton for a fee of £3,500. In the boardroom Robert Smith stepped down as Chairman and Walter Smith took his place.
City hadn't played any pre-season friendlies and the press were buzzing with reports that City were to put in place a new continental style of play in their first game of the season at Deepdale, the journalists had christened it 'The Revie Plan'. Obviously not quite as tuned as it should have been City ended up on their proverbial backsides as Preston took them apart and won 5-0. Despite the defeat Les McDowall pledged to stick with the 'Plan' for at least another month, determined it would succeed, he decided to change the personnel rather than the system bringing in Jimmy Meadows, Roy Little and Ken Barnes, the changes worked and City beat Sheffield United 5-2 and drew 0-0 against Burnley , both games at Maine Road.
They then won three games on the trot, 2-0 at Sheffield United and by the same score at Leicester and then a 2-1 win at home to Arsenal , so after six games the Blues were well placed, fourth in the Division 1 on nine points, just a point away from early league leaders Manchester United.
City then drew 1-1 against Chelsea at Maine Road and then an impressive 3-2 win at Arsenal saw The Blues move to the top of Division 1.
The Blues slipped back with a 2-0 defeat at Cardiff , however in a classic 'derby at Maine Road City beat United 3-2 and were snapping at the heels of new league leaders West Brom.
A good 2-2 draw at Molyneux against Wolves followed but then City were surprisingly beaten 4-2 at home to Aston Villa , and then mirrored the same results drawing 2-2 at Bolton and losing 4-2 at home again, this time against Huddersfield . City also played two further friendlies in October, winning 1-0 at Millwall and 4-1 at Glasgow Rangers . November brought two wins and two defeats, a 4-2 win at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wednesday , a 2-1 defeat at home to Portsmouth , another good away win, 3-1 at Blackpool and another defeat at Maine Road 5-1 to Charlton .
December brought another defeat 3-2 at Sunderland and after four successive games at Maine Road without a point City managed to draw 0-0 against Tottenham, then beat Preston 3-1 and on Christmas Day beat Newcastle 3-1. However maybe the Blues' festive celebrations were overdone and the Magpies of Newcastle beat the Citizens of Manchester 2-0 two days later.
The new year saw City continue with their bad league form as they lost 2-0 at Burnley on New Years Day. The FA Cup came as some respite for the Blues as they beat Derby 3-1 in the 3rd Round at the Baseball Ground.
Back in the league on a snow covered Maine Road pitch City managed to gain a point in a 2-2 draw against Leicester .
The Blues then started to hit some form as they beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge and then iin front of almost 75,000 fans at Maine Road they beat Manchester United 2-0 in the 4th Round of the FA Cup.
City went on to beat Cardiff 4-1 at Maine Road and then in an amazing game at Old Trafford Manchester United were slaughtered 5-0.
The Blues made it five wins on the trot as they beat Luton 2-0 in blizzard conditions at Kenilworth Road in the 5th Round of the FA Cup.
Back in the league the last game in February saw a 1-0 defeat at Everton .
City added to their attack at the beginning of March when they paid Hibernian £22,000 for the services of 25 year old Bobby Johnstone.
The first game in March saw a 2-2 draw at Tottenham before a great 1-0 win at Birmingham in the 6th Round of the FA Cup.
Back in the league and Bobby Johnstone made his debut in a 4-2 home win over Bolton , and a week later, Manchester City drew 0-0 at Huddersfield , after seven minutes Hart collided with Gibson, Town's right back, and was taken off with his left leg broken. Laurie Barnett, City's trainer, wept that day, and I doubt whether he was the only one.
The Semi-Final of the FA Cup was played at an extremely muddy Villa Park, and City beat Sunderland by a single goal to book a place at Wembley in the final.
City's next home game was against Sheffield Wednesday , and despite being without the luckless Hart and Revie and Johnstone, who were on international duty, the Blues still managed to hold the Owls to a 2-2 draw, but then lost 1-0 at Portsmouth . City enjoyed a good Easter at Maine Road, beating West Brom 4-0 on Good Friday and Sunderland 1-0 the next day pushing them into a possible race for the title, however a quick rematch with West Brom saw City lose 2-1 at The Hawthorns. The Blues were 4th in the league on 43 points, one point away from Wolves in second and six points behind leaders Chelsea with just four games left to play.
The Blues then drew 1-1 at Charlton and beat Wolves 3-0 at Maine Road and cut Chelsea's lead at the top to four points.
FA Cup fever hit Manchester with the final two weeks away when residents of Moss Side were kept up all night as a queue over a mile long staked it's way around the streets surrounding Maine Road. They queued all night and when the box office opened the following morning all the tickets sold out within two hours leaving thousands ticketless and disappointed.
Any chance City had of catching Chelsea disappeared with a surprise 6-1 defeat at home to Blackpool and the Blues also lost the last game of the season 2-0 at Aston Villa. City ended up in seventh place on 46 points.
The day before the FA Cup Final Don Revie received the award for The Football Writer's Player of The Year, the journalists rewarding the City player for his part in the revolutionary 'Revie Plan'.
The FA Cup Final saw defeat for an unlucky City side as they lost 3-1 against Newcastle at Wembley.
