Der Szekely-Triebwagenzug waren dieselmechanische Triebwagen der ungarischen Staatsbahnen Magyar Államvasutak (MÁV) für den Schnellzugverkehr auf nichtelektrifizierten Haupt- und Nebenstrecken. Die Fahrzeuge sind durch Umbau aus der ČSD-Baureihe M 251.0 entstanden.

Geschichte
1941 wurden von Ganz & Co. diese Triebwagen geliefert, die durch Umbau aus der Baureihe M 251.0 entstanden. Von den Spenderfahrzeugen wurde lediglich der Wagenkasten mit dem Rahmen übernommen. Völlig neu aufgebaut wurde hingegen die Antriebsanlage und das Laufwerk.

Die Fahrzeuge erfuhren durch den Umbau eine wesentliche Leistungssteigerung. Sie waren danach für 120 km/h zugelassen und waren ab 1941 auf der Schnellzugverbindung von Budapest nach Sepsiszentgyörgy eingesetzt. Für diese 740 km lange Strecke benötigte der Triebwagenzug (ein Triebwagen, zwei Beiwagen) mit mehreren Zwischenhalten elf Stunden.

Technische Merkmale
Anstelle der zweimotorigen Ausführung der Spenderfahrzeuge erhielt der Triebwagen eine Antriebsanlage mit einem Dieselmotor von 450 PS Leistung der Bauart Ganz-Jendrassik. Dieser Motor war ein Zwölfzylinder-Viertakt-Motor, dessen Zylinder einen Durchmesser von 170 mm bei einem Hub von 240 mm besaßen.

Die mechanische Kraftübertragung erfolgte über elektropneumatische Steuerung, die zum ersten Mal bei den MÁV angewendet wurde. Motor und Getriebe waren in einem Triebdrehgestell untergebracht. Zwei Achsen waren angetrieben, zur Verminderung der Achslast wurde eine zusätzliche Laufachse in das Drehgestell eingefügt. Dies ist die Anordnung, wie sie später bei den Hargita-Triebwagen bekannt wurde. Das Stufengetriebe war mit dem Wechselgetriebe in einem Gehäuse zusammengebaut. Das Stufengetriebe wirkte automatisch. Der Lokführer musste lediglich den 1. Gang einlegen, die Umschaltung auf die nächsten Gangstufen erfolgte durch die jeweilige Motordrehzahl und Geschwindigkeit selbständig.

@dlowan,
I haven't seen many this year, so it's not tough to be at the top of my list. My favorite so far has been The Dark Knight, but a lot of that has to do with me wanting it to break Titanic's record, since I hate that movie.
DrewDad
Dark Knight and Ironman were both really good.
I rented I am Legend and was disappointed.
Next weekend, Shaun of the Dead.
Green Witch
I loved WallE. It's a charming adult fable told with humor and truth. Make sure to stay for ending credits, it's a whole little short movie unto itself.
wandeljw
I liked The Dark Knight much more than I should have. Much of the fun for me was seeing a lot of Chicago locations that I am very familiar with.
@Green Witch,
Yah. That was good for adults as well as kiddos.
Was also disappointed in Hancock.
Nick Ashley
I would have to say the best movie I've seen so far is "Juno". I also loved "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and "21". I have high hopes for "Step Brothers" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", but I am waiting for them to come to Netflix.
@Nick Ashley,
Just noticed I didn't answer the second part of the question.
Juno - This was so original, I smiled the whole way through it. It was not at all what I expected (having the kid from superbad in it, I was expecting more of a 'superbad' type of movie). However, it was really funny, in a new way.
Walk Hard - I had very low expectations for this one. However it turned out to be a great movie, with a ton of good one-liners that I will quote for years to come. I didn't think John C. Riley would be strong enough to be the lead character, and I was dead wrong. I went in thinking "Why isn't the lead played by Will Ferrel" and left thinking that Will Ferrel didn't need to be in it.
21 - I'd heard of the story long before (based on true events). It was glamorized and 'hollywood-ized' very well in my opinion. After watching it, I went to wikipedia to see what was true and what wasn't. I like movies that make me do that.
As for what Step Brothers and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, they have been highly recommended to me. I actually might have just been convinced to pay the money to see Step Brothers in the theater this week. I haven't been to a theater since Superbad was released.
Don't really watch TV etc but...
earlier this year I saw "The Guardian"....
just because... it was a good film (fab actors too )
Proabably not too thought provoking for most..... but when I saw the coastguard diver in the NO canal yesterday attempting to stop the barge smashing into the levees.... kinda made me think of that movie again.
Reply	Tue 2 Sep, 2008 12:43 pm
I haven't seen Dark Knight yet - or a few others mentioned here.
My favorite film so far this year was Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. Wonderful acting and script. My kind of movie.

I haven't seen Dark Knight. Sounds like a few people like it, though, (and some not even because they hate Titanic.)
DD, I haven't heard of Ironman???????? Or Hancock???
Greenwitch.....I have a bit of a yen to see WallE...but I suspect I'll have top go on my own, because I can't imagine who would come with me.
Nick...I loved Juno..haven't heard of the others. Walk Hard sounds interesting, though.
Izzie...The Guardian???? Tell me a bit about it?
Mac, I've not heard of Miss Pettigrew...could you expand a bit?

The Guardian is a 2006 film starring Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher, and Melissa Sagemiller that was released on September 29, 2006. The film was directed by Andrew Davis. The setting for the film is the United States Coast Guard and their Aviation Survival Technician (AST) program. It is inspired by the 2004 Japanese summer blockbuster film "Umizaru" (Sea Monkeys) and later 2005 TV drama series "Umizaru Evolution", which were based on a Japanese manga of the same name about the rescue diver trainees with Japan Coast Guard.
The plot follows Senior Chief Petty Officer Ben Randall (Kevin Costner) and Jake Fischer (Ashton Kutcher) at the United States Coast Guard's Aviation Survival Technician (AST) Program. Ben Randall is the top rescue swimmer who continues to work against regulation past the age of 40. Jake Fischer is a hot-shot candidate for AST who was ranked as a top competitive swimmer in high school.
The movie title is introduced by a mythic tale: People lost at sea often claim they feel a presence lifting them to the surface, breathing life into their bodies while they are waiting for help to arrive. They call this presence "The Guardian."
The Title Song.... Never Let Go
Coastguard, Firefighters, Forces... kinda makes me think about all of them and what they do.
@Izzie,
People lost at sea often claim they feel a presence lifting them to the surface, breathing life into their bodies while they are waiting for help to arrive. They call this presence "The Guardian."
Thanks, Izzie.
I wonder if that is true?
It would fit with endorphin release and all....
I've been thinking of my own favourites....one that comes up is "Eastern Promises"...just because of how riveting the the performances are...though there is no way I could watch the fight scene.
I'd like to think it was true.... you know - just when you're ready to give up, you hear a little voice telling you not to let go.... I'd like to believe that would happen..... who knows a?
An Unfinished Life, 2005
"When her husband dies, Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) moves herself and her daughter, Griff (Becca Gardner), into the Wyoming home of her estranged father-in-law, steely rancher Einar (Robert Redford), even though they don't get along. Buried in grief, Einar can't get over the death of his only son, while Jean struggles to make sense of her new life. Over time, though, the two learn to move on through the power of forgiveness."
Okay, that sounds hokey... and I don't like J-lo either.
But I LOVE Morgan Freeman (yes, he's in it, I don't know why they don't mention him). Freeman and Redford are great together. And the young girl, Becca Gardner, was amazing.
I liked this movie so much, I made my man watch it with me the second time. (He liked it too, but maybe not as much as me.)
J-lo wasn't that bad either.
And it's beautifully filmed.
And it has a bear in it.
fbaezer
Hotel Rwanda. A true story. Schindler's List in Africa, without the sentimentality. Also a denunciation of Western hypocrisy.
The Dark Night. Best Batman film. The crazies take over and Batman is unmasked as one of them. I liked it even better than Titanic.
High Noon. A classic I was missing. Not anymore. Fun, thrilling and somehow telling you how mankind does not change.
Not strictly a film, but the best I've seen this year on DVD is Rome, the TV series.
@fbaezer,
I've been a bit wussy to see Hotel Rwanda...you've convinced me.
Ok, ok Dark Knight is ok already!
High Noon...cool...haven't seen it for years.
Any really good films from your continent, Fbaezer?
I think both The Dark Knight and High Noon were made in the American continent.
If you're asking about Latin America, last good flic I saw (think it was last year) is "Morirse está en Hebreo", a comedy about Jews in Mexico.

Harper and the oil patch: Honesty is the only policy
The prime minister explains crazy policy to us
By Paul Wells December 9, 2014
Chris Wattie/Reuters
Compare and contrast.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, today in the House of Commons:
"Frankly, Mr. Speaker, under the current circumstances of the oil and gas sector, it would be crazy, it would be crazy economic policy to do unilateral penalties on that sector. We're clearly not going to do that," Harper told the House as Conservative MPs roared their approval.
"In fact, nobody in the world is regulating their oil and gas sector. I'd be delighted if they did. Canada will be there with them."
Jim Prentice, then federal minister of the environment, not quite five years ago:
"For those of you who doubt that the government of Canada lacks either the willingness or the authority to protect our national interests as a 'clean energy superpower,' think again," he warned darkly. "We do and we will. And, in our efforts, we will expect and we will secure the co-operation of those private interests which are developing the oil sands. Consider it a responsibility that accompanies the right to develop these valuable Canadian resources."
Back then, it was possible to believe the federal government would impose regulations on the oil and gas industries. The government certainly said it would, often enough. (Peter Kent in February, 2013: "We are now well into, and very close to finalizing, regulations for the oil and gas sector.") But, as Chris Turner reminds us in his book The War on Science, Prentice quit as environment minister in November 2010, and the Harper government's periodic attempts to demonstrate environmental virtue, even at some hypothetical cost to the resource sector, pretty much came to an end.
Of course, it can be hard to tell where the notion of oil and gas regulations ended. Prentice himself has been sounding much like Harper since he became premier of Alberta:
"Environmental performance is important, but so, too, is our industrial competitiveness . . . I think this low-price environment is a reminder . . . that we have to be careful laying on costs, including regulatory costs, on our industry, because we need to remain competitive."
But is even that new? From my 2010 article, linked above:
"We will only adopt a cap-and-trade regime if the United States signals that it wants to do the same. Our position on harmonization applies equally to regulation. Canada can go down either road—cap and trade or regulation—but we will go down neither road alone."
So the paper trail on the government's oil and gas policy is a bit of a mess. The feds will only impose regulations in concert with the Americans? Well, there are two problems with that story. First, as Bruce Cheadle points out:
An Environment Canada briefing memo revealed last month by the Globe and Mail shows that the United States, in fact, placed what were called "significant" limits on its oil and gas sector in 2012.
"For oil and gas, recent air pollution regulations are expected to result in significant greenhouse-gas reduction co-benefits, comparable to the reductions that would result from the approach being developed for this sector in Canada," states the June 2013 memo obtained by Greenpeace under an Access to Information request.
Second, there is simply no record of a concerted Canadian effort to work with the Americans on joint regulations. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird mentions the Keystone pipeline to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in every meeting and at every phone call. There is literally no record of any public proposal from Harper to U.S. President Barack Obama to work on the joint regulations that are now, the PM says, the necessary condition of any Canadian regulations.
In this light, I note with genuine surprise that the "U.S.-Canada clean energy dialogue" that was created when Obama visited Ottawa in 2009 is actually still a thing. I also note with no surprise at all that the latest joint report, barely a month old, does not mention joint regulations on oil and gas industries anywhere in its 10 pages.
So. The feds have been promising oil and gas regulations for seven years, while periodically insisting they could produce no such regulations without U.S. co-operation. They have also refused to seek such co-operation, while refusing to follow up on helpful U.S. unilateral action. (By "helpful," of course, I mean "action that would seem helpful if anyone felt like constraining the carbon emissions of the oil and gas sector. Like, hypothetically.")
One more thing. If the price of oil is too low for regulations, this would be a big change from the last seven years, when the Harper government's argument was that the price of oil was too high for regulations. There is, in the consistent messaging of this government, no time when government action to constrain the carbon emissions of the oil sands is appropriate. When the price is high, it's too high. When it's low, it's too low. One can assume governments in potential export markets have noted this message, and will act accordingly.

I will be doing these types of articles from time to time. They will discuss one superstar who is on my mind. These are discussions because I am completely open to your views on the superstar.
I will tell you my opinions about him/her and I would like to see your opinions about them in the comment section.
This article will discuss "The Chosen One" Drew McIntyre.
Drew McIntyre is Vince McMahon's "Chosen One." Drew possesses a great talent that I think goes underrated. Drew has the charisma and talent to be the next Randy Orton.
He is young and I think he will be a World Champion within a year. I have had an interest in Drew since his return to wrestling in 2009.
Drew has been an Intercontinental Champion and a short-lived Unified Tag Team Champion with Cody Rhodes.
This Sunday, Drew will compete in the Elimination Chamber. I do not think Drew is ready to headline WrestleMania yet, but in the next few years I think he will be there.
Drew McIntyre has the look and entrance that a big-time star should have. When his theme music hits, it makes you take notice.
His finisher, the "Future Shock," is a decent move. I would like if he could develop a new quick-hitting move that he could use at any moment.
Drew's current angle involving Kelly Kelly has some potential to be a good one. It has been rumored that Kelly may turn heel, how will that affect the angle?
Will Drew feud with Edge or someone else? WWE has a chance to make this angle the best of Drew and Kelly's careers.
Drew McIntyre has had some good matches since his return. Maybe he and Christian could give us another few matches.
I think Drew vs. Daniel Bryan would also draw in interest from the WWE Universe. That may be the way to go with Drew's current angle. Move Kelly and Drew to Raw to feud with Daniel and Gail.
I'm just spitballing ideas here but it seems like that would be an interesting idea. Eventually, Drew could take the U.S. Title away from Daniel and then move on or continue for a few months longer.
Drew McIntyre has promise in WWE. I hope WWE uses him to his full potential and pushes him in the right direction. I think Drew has good wrestling talent and he should be a World Champion within a year or two.
Well that concludes my first discussion article. I know it bounced around a little, but that is the idea. I want it to be like a conversation between you and me.
Leave your comments about Drew, my ideas, or this type of article. It's your turn to do the discussion.

THE SEVENTEENTHEARL OF OXFORD 1550-1604
FROM CONTEMPORARY DOCUMENTS
BY B. M. WARD
The first biography of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, was published by Bernard Mordaunt Ward (1893-1945) in the year 1928 –remaining the only work giving reliable information on the courtier and poet until Mark Anderson's book Shakespeare by Another Name (2005).
Alan H. Nelson's demonology Monstrous Adversary was published in 2003; due to Ward's preliminary work Nelson managed to draw 75% of its subject matter. He, however, made use of it just in order to distort Ward's findings, presenting an account teeming with mistakes, omissions and biases with the intention to show the world the atrociousness of his protagonist Oxford and, in doing so, seemingly prove the invalidity of the Oxford-thesis. In the eyes of people as blind and opinionated as Nelson, his publication was considered a success.
Contrary to Nelson's, B.M. Ward's approach was characterized by hard, detailed detection work and selfless endeavours for historical truth. As Ward's work is hardly obtainable anymore, we felt a strong need to at least publish a digital version. It will be furnished with a commentary in the foreseeable future. Of course, it has to be taken for granted that a study written 90 years ago is bound to include mistakes, even though – and this must be emphasized - the mistakes are of minor significance.
"For genuine illustration of history, biography, and manners, we must chiefly rely on ancient original papers. To them we must turn for the correction of past errors; for a supply of future materials; and for proof of what hath already been delivered unto us."
EDMUND LODGE, Illustrations of British History (1791)
Of all the great Elizabethans who made the Sixteenth Century the heroic age of English History both in action and letters, there is not one so little known and so universally misjudged as Edward de Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford. At the hands of his contemporaries he received both scurrilous abuse and unstinted praise, and therefore it is perhaps not surprising that posterity should have accepted the first and doubted the second. To most Englishmen nowadays he is little more than a name. Even to specialists in Elizabethan history he is hardly more than "Burghley's ill-conditioned son-in-law," as Froude described him, an eccentric of doubtful character and boorish manners, whose contemporary fame as a courtier poet and dramatist was sadly tarnished by his rudeness to his famous rival Sir Philip Sidney on the occasion of the well-known Tennis Court quarrel. Such is his reputation at the present day, but a close examination of the manuscript records of the period, contained in the British Museum, the Public Record Office, and at Hatfield House, reveals a very different story from the one which has been almost universally accepted by historians of the period.
Most of the stories told against the Earl are shown to be without foundation. He did not make away his estate in order to spite his father-in-law because the latter either would not or could not prevent the Duke of Norfolk's execution. The criminal charges made against him in 1581 by Charles Arundel have been generally taken as proved. Not only were they "not proved, but strictly speaking they were not charges at all, being really random accusations made in self-defence by the traitor Charles Arundel, whose treasonable dealings with Spain had been brought to light by the Earl of Oxford himself.
Research into original manuscripts of the period not only shows up the falsity of most of the popular legends that have grown up round Lord Oxford, but it throws a new light on the importance of the part played by him throughout Queen Elizabeth's reign. From 1570 to 1580 he was perhaps second only to the Earl of Leicester as the chief favourite of the Queen. During the same period his reputation as a man of letters was second to none. Although the accusations brought against him by Charles Arundel gave a handle to his rivals to supplant
him in the Queen's favour, yet the fact remains that only four years afterwards, i.e. in 1585, he was selected to take charge of the important mission to the Netherlands. In the following year-1586---he received a still more striking proof of Royal favour in the form of £1,000 a year which he received regularly from the Exchequer in four quarterly payments until his death in 1604.
In 1588 he fitted out at his own expense a ship in which he went to sea and played his part in the dramatic victory over the Spanish Armada, indignantly refusing the command of the naval base at Harwich, as a position involving neither service nor credit. On November 24th of that year, when the Queen made a Royal Progress to St. Paul's through the streets of London to render thanks to God for the great victory, Lord Oxford and the Earl Marshal'rode on either side of the Queen's chariot through the thronging multitude, and the same two noblemen carried a golden canopy over the Queen's head as she walked up the nave of St. Paul's to take her part in the historic thanksgiving service.
In 1589 Oxford received the most striking testimonial to his literary abilities that was ever bestowed on an Elizabethan man of letters by one of his contemporaries. Although after this date until his death in 1604 he vanishes from the public view except for an occasional appearance -e.g. at the trial of the Earl of Essex in 1601, and as Lord Great Chamberlain at the coronation of King James in 1603-we cannot doubt that his life in retirement was occupied in cultivating those literary and musical talents which were so highly praised by the men of his day.
A posthumous tribute, written soon after his death in King James's reign, stating that he was "a man in mind and body absolutely accomplished with honourable endowments," is sufficiently impressive to make it well worth while to glean every record that may have survived in order to enable us to realise something of the accomplishment on which so brilliant a reputation must have been founded.
During the course of my study of the period I have carried out certain investigations as to matters of publication and authorship which have led me to arrive at conclusions somewhat at variance from the opinions hitherto held on these points. I have already published my reasons for adopting these opinions, and in order to avoid lengthy discussions in the text of this biography and at the same time to permit of the verification or criticism of these opinions by students, I give below a couple of conclusions I have arrived at, together with a reference in each case to the publication in which the question is discussed.
1. That the Earl of Oxford was the editor of an anthology entitled A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres, published in 1573, and was himself the author of sixteen of the poems published in the book. (Vide Introduction to A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres, published by Etchells and Macdonald in 1926.) [We don't reproduce the speculative Interlude "The Crown of Bays, 1576" (pp. 130-144), because Ward has come to the false conclusions. Oxford was not the author of sixteen, but of fiftyfour poems in the Flowres. He was not the poetic assistant of George Gascoigne, but the sole author of the novella The Adventures of Master F. I. – See '5.0 Introduction to the Works of Edward de Vere'.]
2. That Oxford's cousin John, Lord Lumley (1532- 1608) was the author of The Arte of English Poesie, published in 1589. (Vide Review of English Studies, July 1925.) The authorship of this work has hitherto been attributed to one of the two, Puttenhams, Richardor George. [Ward's thesis about the authorship of The Arte of English Poesie (1589) was refuted by the modern editors Willcock & Walker (1936) und Whigham & Rebhorn (2007). See The Art of English Poesy, ed. by Frank Whigham und Wayne A. Rebhorn, Ithaca and London 2007; pp. 18-23. The author of The Art of English Poesy is decidedly George Puttenham.]
The following chapters are the result of nearly five years' search among unpublished manuscript records of the time, every known source of information having been thoroughly examined during that period. The bulk of the biography is based upon contemporary manuscript records. A few questions relating to literature and the drama which cannot be settled on recorded evidence alone have been relegated to a series of Interludes, inserted in the biography proper, but at the same time independent of it. Readers who wish to know the ascertained facts of Lord Oxford's life, and are not interested in subsidiary questions which cannot be definitely settled without further research and criticism, may thus without loss of continuity confine themselves to the biographical chapters, omitting the subsidiary Interludes.
It is my pleasant duty here to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Marquess of Salisbury for permission to examine his unique collection of manuscripts at Hatfield House, and to publish for the first time many important letters which have never before been printed. My thanks are also due to his librarian, the Rev. W. Stanhope-Lovell, for every assistance in transcribing these documents. To Professor Abel Lefranc of the Collège de France I am indebted for very kindly checking my list of French Ambassadors in England with information derived from the records of the French Foreign Office, and to Dr. van Biema of The Hague for consulting the Dutch State Archives for records of the military expedition of 1585. I should like also to acknowledge my indebtedness to the officials of the British Museum, the Public Record Office, and the Bodleian Library for their courtesy and assistance in my researches through the State Papers, as well as the Lansdowne, Harleian, Rawlinson, and other manuscript collections.
B. M. WARD.

Abby Beeman sets record with 2,000th career point
SHORT GAP - As Frankfort's Saturday game against Fairmont Senior approached, excitement built to a fever pitch throughout the Frankfort community.
By Chapin Jewell
Tribune Correspondent
SHORT GAP - As Frankfort's Saturday game against Fairmont Senior approached, excitement built to a fever pitch throughout the Frankfort community.
Unless you were living under a rock, social media, water cooler and restaurant table talk from Carpendale to Fort Ashby made you aware of two things. First, that West Virginia class AA's number two ranked team, the Fairmont Senior Polar Bears, were coming to Short Gap to test the Falcons. Second, that on Saturday, Frankfort senior sensation Abby Beeman was likely to get the 10 points she needed to reach the 2,000 point mark for her career.
On game day, the Frankfort community, and perhaps a few curious onlookers, piled into the Frankfort gym until it was filled to the rafters. They were there to see a good game, but most especially, they were there to see Beeman join the rarified air that is the 2,000 point club. Unfortunately, Fairmont Senior would prove to be too much on the day for the Falcons, as the Polar Bears prevailed 68-45.
The loss, however, did not dampen the spirits of the Columbia blue and silver crowd assembled, as with 4:28 remaining in the third period, Beeman drove to the basket from the left side and hit the layup that would give her 2,001 points for career.
The game stopped, people rose exuberantly from their seats, and confetti fell from the ceiling. With Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" playing over the loud speakers, officers from the Frankfort Athletic Booster Club presented Beeman with a plaque and sign declaring her as the "Establisher of the 2,000 point club" at Frankfort.
"You're simply the best, better than all the rest." Those words from Tina Turner's 1989 hit perfectly describe Abby Beeman's basketball playing career at Frankfort. While certainly everything is up for debate, Abby Beeman's record-breaking career spanning four outstanding seasons as a Falcon has solidified her as perhaps the greatest to ever hit the hardwood in Short Gap.
Consider the fact that Beeman became Frankfort's all-time leading scorer in just her junior season with still one season to play. Consider that Frankfort's all-time boy's scoring leader Jacob Young scored 1,214 career points. Beeman, on the girl's side, can potentially surpass that number by 1,000 points. Some refer to her as the GOAT (greatest of all time); a title well justified by looking at the numbers.
Fairmont Senior's stifling defense made things rough for Beeman and the Falcons. In their 68-45 victory, the Polar Bears made Frankfort buckets tough to come by. Beeman was held to just one point in the first period and four more in the second to bring her total to five at the half. Things improved in the second half as she netted 18 more, bringing her total to 23 points for the game.
"Fairmont Senior and North Marion are the two toughest defenses I have played. Fairmont Senior is a great team and they make you feel uncomfortable the whole game," Beeman said of the Falcons' opponent. "I was getting some looks in the first half, but I wasn't converting them. In the second half I did a better job of taking advantage of when I was open," she explained.
While disappointed with the loss, Beeman, her teammates and coaches were happy to celebrate her 2,000-point career accomplishment. Beeman was very appreciative of the support extended to her by the Frankfort community.
"I am very thankful for all the support I received not only yesterday, but all season," she proclaimed. "This achievement wouldn't be possible without the support from my coaches, teammates, family and fans," she continued.
As special as Beeman's achievement was, she would be the first to admit that the importance of Saturday's game extended way beyond her record breaking achievement. Fairmont Senior gave Frankfort a glimpse of what the competition will look like as they strive to advance to the state tournament.
The Polar Bears led 19-8 after the first period and 36-19 at the half. After three periods, Fairmont's lead extended to 52-33 en route to their 68-45 victory. The Polar Bears were led in scoring by Stephanie Vincent and Anysa Jordan with 14 points each. Three players from Fairmont Senior also added nine points apiece (Marley Washenitz, Courtney Wilfong, Abby Faulkner).
In the loss, Frankfort was led by Beeman's 23 points followed by Macie Miller and Makenna Douthitt with eight points each. Marie Perdew and Ashley Phillips rounded out the Falcon scoring with four and two points respectively.
Fairmont Senior also won the junior varsity game 45-31. The junior Polar Bears led only 16-12 at halftime. The game was tied at 26 points apiece heading to the fourth period but the visitors pulled away in the final frame.
Frankfort's varsity Lady Falcons will now have some days of rest as they prepare to host Keyser on Thursday, Jan. 31. They will then travel to Northern on Saturday, Feb. 2.
While things certainly started slow for Abby Beeman on Saturday, as she's done every game over the last four years, in the end, she delivered. While a team victory would have been nice, to the satisfaction and delight of Beeman and her legion of fans assembled, point number 2,000 - actually point number 2,001 - hit the bottom of the net.
Raw talent alone and simply wishing it to be does not create a 2,000 point scorer. So, what's the secret? Well, according to Beeman, there certainly are no shortcuts. "I attribute hard work the most to reaching 2,000 points. When you love playing basketball, it's easy to work hard at it."
While there were signs, a plaque, confetti, plenty of picture opportunities and all the hoopla imaginable inside the Frankfort gymnasium to celebrate her achievement on Saturday, the celebration didn't end there. According to Beeman, "We celebrated my accomplishment by having friends and family over at my aunt and uncle's house last night."
Abby Beeman, while quiet and humble, deserves all the accolades and celebration thrown her way for this major career achievement. Through hard work, practice, and the fine tuning of her craft, she's brought joy, excitement and many reasons for the Falcon faithful to celebrate over the last four years.
It's high time she takes a few moments to celebrate for herself.

Q: Antlr4 Performance Issue in ECMAScript 6 grammar I'm writing grammar for ECMAScript 6. The grammar is written in two files: lexer grammar and parser grammar.
The generated parser works OK, but the performance is very bad. It's big difference between the first parsing and the next parsing in a cycle. For example the first parsing with LL prediction mode of prototype.js file ( ~2 500 lines) currently takes about 8-12 seconds and the next parsing takes about 890 - 990 ms on my machine. Before some grammar optimisations it took around 58 seconds the first parsing and 7 seconds the second parsing.  When I try SLL parser, as is advised to obtain better performance, then even after 30 minutes the first parsing is not finished, so probably the parse is in an endless cycle. I would like to get time something about 400 ms in this case.
When esvalidate.js file is parsed, which has 200 lines than the first LL parsing usually takes 1.6 - 1.9 seconds and the second LL parsing takes around 260ms. When the parser is switched to prediction mode SLL, then the first parsing is finished about 16 seconds (ten time more then with LL prediction mode), but the second parsing takes only 70ms.
Could we somehow speed up the first parsing?
Why the first SLL parsing take so much time? And even in the case of prototype.js is not finished after 30 minutes? Any advice, which will help me to solve this problem is welcome.
I use antlr 4.5.1. for generating and running the parser.
Thanks for every hint.

SIU Director's Report - Case # 17-OVI-201
SIU Investigation Started following Bank Robbery and Crash in Guelph
No Criminal Wrongdoing on Part of Officers in Relation to Guelph Collision
Director's Report for Case # 17-OVI-201.
This report relates to the SIU's investigation into the serious injury reportedly sustained by an 18-year-old man leading up to his arrest on August 3rd, 2017.
At approximately 11:46 a.m. on August 3rd, 2017, the Guelph Police Service (GPS) notified the SIU of the apparent serious injury sustained by the 18-year-old Complainant subsequent to a motor vehicle collision following a bank robbery in which the Complainant was involved.
The GPS reported that at 10:30 a.m., on August 3rd, 2017, three masked men attempted to rob the Scotia Bank on Clair Road in the City of Guelph. The robbery was unsuccessful in large part because the bank had not yet opened. Minutes later, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) on Gordon Street was robbed and the same culprits were believed to be responsible.
The suspects fled in a damaged white Volkswagen Jetta that was soon located on Gordon Street travelling back towards the original attempted robbery where a dozen or so police officers remained. Police officers soon located the suspect vehicle and were in the process of trying to stop it when the suspect vehicle left the roadway and collided with a commercial signpost. The Complainant suffered a facial injury as a result of the impact.
Number of SIU Investigators assigned: 3
Number of SIU Forensic Investigators assigned: 2
18-year-old male, declined interview but consented to release of medical records
WO #1	Interviewed, notes received and reviewed
SO #1	Interviewed, but declined to submit notes, as is the subject officer's legal right.
Just prior to 10:00 a.m. on August 3rd, 2017, three men attempted to rob the Scotia Bank on Clair Road in the City of Guelph. As the bank had not yet opened for business, the suspects were unable to gain access and left the bank empty handed. Photographs of the suspects leaving the bank were captured on devices operated by bank staff, and descriptions of the culprits and their motor vehicle, a Volkswagen Jetta, were immediately broadcast throughout the city of Guelph resulting in a massive police response to the area.
The suspects then drove north on Gordon Street, the main road through Guelph, and went on to rob the RBC. During the robbery, the suspects were reported as indicating that they were armed with firearms and would be willing to shoot anyone in the bank if they did not cooperate. After that robbery, the suspects drove south on Gordon Street directly into a heavy police presence due to police having responded to the reporting of the first attempted robbery.
The Volkswagen Jetta was soon located and the SO managed to get behind it, in his police cruiser, at a distance of approximately 120 metres. The SO broadcast his location, and 12 seconds later, reported that the Jetta had veered right and into the lot of a mechanic's shop where it collided with a raised curb and pole.
SIU forensic investigators thoroughly examined the SO's police cruiser and the Volkswagen Jetta for any evidence of contact and found no such evidence.
Subsequent investigation revealed that CW #1 was the driver of the Jetta, and the Complainant was an unbelted rear seat passenger. The force of the collision with the raised curb was enough to lift the Jetta off the ground and force it to stop abruptly, in all likelihood propelling the Complainant forward and into the front seat headrest. The Complainant had apparently had a front tooth recently replaced, and a front tooth was dislodged in the collision, causing heavy bleeding.
Nature of Injury/Treatment
The Complainant was observed to be bleeding heavily from the mouth and was transported to hospital and examined. The medical records indicated that "the only significant (sic) is trauma to the head which has resulted in a concussion and whiplash injury as well as trauma to the front of the mouth for which he had a tooth dislodged and had a quite serious avulsion of his lip which caused some bleeding." The Complainant remained in hospital for eight days and then was discharged with no further treatment required. It is unclear whether the dislodging of the tooth was a permanent tooth, or one which had just recently been implanted.
The Jetta involved in the collision left the southbound lane of Gordon Street, veered right (west), and struck a fixed pole at 1499 Gordon Street in the City of Guelph.
Scene Diagram
No submissions were made to the Centre of Forensic Sciences.
The following photos were taken by a civilian witness following the attempted robbery at the Scotia Bank. The photos depict the alleged robbers re-entering their vehicle, a white Volkswagen Jetta, and driving away.
The first communication was broadcast at 10:16 a.m. on August 3rd, 2017, and alerted GPS police officers to an attempted robbery of the Scotia Bank on Clair Road East. A description of the Volkswagen Jetta was aired and two men were seen leaving in the Jetta. Numerous police officers flooded the area in an attempt to locate the suspect vehicle.
The search was fruitless but, at 10:29 a.m., a subsequent communication indicated that the RBC at 987 Gordon Street was in the process of being robbed. The caller said that two men were involved and although no weapon was seen, the culprits ordered everyone in the bank to the ground and threatened to kill people if the stolen funds were delivered in dye packs. The men, wearing black masks and black bandanas, said they had a gun and would shoot customers.
The bank staff further advised that the men had left the bank and had entered a white, four door Jetta and went southbound on Gordon Street. Moments later, WO #4 saw the vehicle on Gordon Street and alerted other police officers. The SO broadcast that he had the suspects in sight and 12 seconds later reported that the Jetta had collided with a pole at the Pharmasave store and one occupant had fled on foot.
Upon request, the SIU obtained and reviewed the following materials and documents from the GPS:
Arrest Record of the Complainant, CW #1, and CW #4;
Dispatch from Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Details;
GPS Motor Vehicle Accident Report;
Notes of WO #s 1-4;

At 10:16 a.m. on August 3rd, 2017, a dispatch went out to all available Guelph Police Service (GPS) officers alerting them of an attempted robbery which had just occurred at the Scotia Bank on Clair Road East in the City of Guelph. The dispatch described the involved motor vehicle, in which two men had fled the scene, as being a Volkswagen Jetta. According to the 911 caller, she had arrived for work and was in the parking lot prior to entering the bank, when she observed two masked men exit a white Jetta and enter the branch; upon apparently discovering that the bank was still closed, they immediately exited the bank, re-entered the car, and left. The caller was able to take some photos of the white Jetta which was distinctive in that it had damage to the rear passenger door and the front tire was on a factory rim and had no hub cap to match the other three wheels.
Numerous police officers responded to the call for all units and flooded the area looking for the Jetta involved.
At 10:29 a.m., a second dispatch went out to all available units alerting them of a robbery in progress at the RBC at 987 Gordon Street in the City of Guelph. The dispatch again outlined two men as being involved, and that those two men had ordered everyone in the bank to the floor and threatened to kill people if the funds delivered to the robbers had dye packs. The men were further described as wearing black masks and black bandanas and had indicated that they had guns and were prepared to shoot people. The involved motor vehicle at this second robbery was described as a white four door Volkswagen Jetta which was last seen travelling southbound on Gordon Street.
Within seconds, the police transmissions communication recording reveals an officer calling in to dispatch and advising that "the Jetta is southbound Gordon, passed me, three males in vehicle". He then provides a partial licence plate.
While a second officer is heard to indicate that he is going to try and head the vehicle off, the SO is then heard to interrupt, indicating "just passed me … didn't get the plate … heading southbound lane two" and he then goes on to give a very brief description of the driver when he shouts out that the car just went into the plaza, struck a sign, and "bailed." He further indicated that two of the occupants were still in the car and one was running.
From the SO's first sighting of the suspect vehicle, until his reporting that it had struck the pole, no more than 12 seconds had elapsed.
Upon arrival of the police, a second occupant of the vehicle was just exiting the vehicle to flee when he was apprehended, leaving behind only the Complainant, who was seated in the rear passenger seat of the Jetta. The Complainant was transported to hospital where he remained for eight days. The discharge summary in his medical records concludes that he suffered a concussion, possible whiplash, an avulsion (a part was torn away) of his lip, and he had lost a tooth.
While the Complainant declined to provide the SIU with a statement, the driver of the Jetta and the second passenger both consented to being interviewed.
According to CW #1, he was the driver of the Jetta at the time of the collision but had no knowledge as to the owner of the vehicle or the identity of either of his passengers. CW #1 recalled being involved in a collision, but not what he collided with, how the collision occurred, the speed at which he was driving at the time, or if anyone was behind him.
CW #1 professed that he did not hear any sirens, nor did he see any emergency lights, and he was unaware that the police were following him. CW #1 did recall opening the door of the car in order to flee, after looking in the back seat and seeing a male who was passed out or knocked out and bleeding. He also recalled a police officer (the SO) then pointing his firearm at CW #1, pulling him from the vehicle, placing him face down on the ground, and then handcuffing him. CW #1 indicated that no use of force was employed against him and that the SO treated him well.
CW #4, the second passenger in the Jetta, said that he was seated in the left rear seat while the Complainant was seated to his right. CW #4 stated that the Complainant had recently, prior to this date, broken a front tooth and had received a replacement (as the Complainant did not provide a statement, it is unclear whether or not this is the tooth that is indicated in the medical records as having been lost during the collision).
CW #4 indicated that CW #1 was driving in the centre lane when he alerted the two rear seat passengers of the presence of police and they saw one police cruiser suddenly come up behind them with its lights and sirens activated. CW #4 also observed a second police cruiser about 30 metres back also with its emergency lighting activated. According to CW #4, CW #1 then applied his brakes and turned to the right into a car repair shop, where he spun out and struck a pole. CW #4 estimated that the collision occurred approximately ten seconds after he first heard the police siren. After the collision, CW #4 looked behind them and saw multiple police cruisers present, and he got out of the car and ran away, leaving his two co-passengers behind.
CW #4 indicated that he was apprehended shortly thereafter at gunpoint, but no force was used against him, nor did police do anything harmful to his co-passengers in the car. CW #4 opined that CW #1 panicked when he saw the police, which is why he collided with the pole.
Of the four independent civilian witnesses who were interviewed, all of whom heard and saw the collision as it was occurring, none described the incident as involving a police pursuit, with each apparently believing that this was simply a collision without any police involvement. Of those witnesses, CW #5, who observed the actual collision with the Jetta striking the commercial sign, estimated that the SO arrived at the scene some ten seconds after the collision, with lights and siren activated, while CW #3, who observed the Jetta heading across the parking lot seemingly out of control and then hitting the curb and a rigid sign, advised that he observed the first police vehicle arrive within five seconds of the collision.
Additionally, each of the four independent civilian witnesses described the Complainant as resisting and struggling when he was removed from the vehicle, with one witness describing the Complainant as trying to kick at the police officers, while a second witness described the Complainant as swearing the entire time that it took to handcuff him, some 15 minutes in total, due to his ongoing resistance and refusal to put his hands behind his back. CW #1 described three police officers trying to put the handcuffs on the Complainant and continuously yelling at the Complainant to "stop resisting". This evidence is consistent with that of the officers involved in the arrest of the Complainant.
The SO advised that after hearing the dispatch regarding the attempted robbery at the Scotia Bank, he attended that location and viewed the photos of the suspect vehicle taken by the witness. As he was leaving the Scotia Bank, he heard the dispatch about the robbery in progress at the RBC and he activated his emergency lights and siren and headed in that direction. Further information received from officers who had spoken to witnesses at the RBC confirmed that it was the same suspect vehicle involved, and that the suspects had yelled that they would shoot people, and also that all persons in the bank had been ordered to get on the ground.
The SO initially observed a white Jetta, which he thought might be the suspect vehicle, pulled over to the side for his cruiser, but after taking a closer look, noted that it did not have the same distinctive features that had been referred to by dispatch. He then made a U-turn to return southbound on Gordon Street, when he observed the suspect vehicle ahead and decided to perform a traffic stop. At that point, he activated his sirens and observed the suspect vehicle pass Heritage Drive and then abruptly turn right in an attempt to drive into a plaza, when the front end of the Jetta lifted off the roadway and he thought the vehicle had struck a pole. The SO then drove in behind the crashed Jetta.
On all of the evidence, as between both the occupants of the suspect vehicle and the independent civilian witnesses, as well as all police witnesses, there is no dispute that the Complainant sustained his injuries as a result of the motor vehicle collision and the fact that he was not wearing his seatbelt at the time.
There is no allegation that any police officer used any unnecessary force as against the Complainant and it is not in dispute that his injuries had already been sustained prior to his first police contact and before he was removed from the vehicle, and that a minimal amount of force was used to hold the Complainant down when he was combative and struggling, and thereafter to handcuff him.
Furthermore, based on the evidence from the 911 calls, as confirmed by each of the police officers who attended the respective banks, there is no question that the police had ample grounds upon which to stop and arrest the occupants of the suspect vehicle for the bank robbery and the initial attempted bank robbery.
With respect to the SO's actions in attempting to perform a vehicle stop on the Jetta being driven by CW #1, if one accepts the evidence of CW #1 that he had no inkling that police were behind him, then it is clear that nothing that the SO did contributed to the collision and subsequent injuries to the Complainant, as CW #1 apparently crashed the Jetta for reasons totally unrelated to anything that the SO was doing.
Unfortunately, the evidence of CW #4 directly contradicts the assertion by CW #1 that he was unaware of the police behind him, as CW #4 indicated that it was CW #1 who alerted the others in the car of the presence of the police vehicle behind them, following which he appeared to panic and crashed the car.
Even if CW #1 crashed the car as a result of seeing the SO's police cruiser behind him, with lights and sirens activated, and then panicking, I am still unable to find any evidence to support a finding that the SO was engaged in a police pursuit. Clearly, in the time between when the SO first saw the suspect vehicle, which was a distance ahead, and the time of the crash, some 12 seconds later, there would scarcely have been sufficient time for him to engage in a pursuit, as he had not yet even caught up to the vehicle, which was not travelling particularly quickly (between 60-70 km/h).
Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 266/10 of the Ontario Police Services Act entitled Suspect Apprehension Pursuits,
s. 2(1) A police officer may pursue, or continue to pursue, a fleeing motor vehicle that fails to stop,
(a)	if the police officer has reason to believe that a criminal offence has been committed or is about to be committed; or
(b)	for the purposes of motor vehicle identification or the identification of an individual in the vehicle.
As such, since the SO clearly had reason to believe that the occupants of the suspect Volkswagen Jetta had just committed a serious criminal offence, he would have been justified in engaging the vehicle in a pursuit, had it failed to stop when directed to do so.
However, on these facts, it appears that the SO never had to make that decision, as he was still at the point wherein he was hoping to perform a vehicle stop when the suspect vehicle crashed. Pursuant to the legislation, 'a suspect apprehension pursuit occurs when a police officer attempts to direct the driver of a motor vehicle to stop, the driver refuses to obey the officer and the officer pursues in a motor vehicle for the purpose of stopping the fleeing motor vehicle'. It is clear that since at no time did the SO have the opportunity to direct the Jetta to stop, as it was still some distance ahead of him when he first spotted it, that the driver never refused to obey the officer, and as such there was no pursuit.
Furthermore, even if the actions of the SO could be tortured to fit within the definition of vehicle pursuit, its duration would have been less than 12 seconds, as the communications recording clearly indicates that from the time that the SO first spotted the Jetta until it crashed into the pole in the plaza, no more than 12 seconds had elapsed.
As indicated, however, I can find no evidence to conclude that the SO ever engaged the Jetta in a vehicular pursuit for the following reasons:
CW #1's indication that police did not influence his driving;
CW #4 advised that as soon as CW #1 saw the police cars behind him, he immediately lost control of the vehicle and crashed;
Of the four independent civilian witnesses present, none heard a siren or observed a police vehicle at the time that CW #1 crashed the car, and none appeared to be of the view that there was actually a police pursuit in progress;
The evidence of both of CW #1 and CW #4 at no time made any mention of their belief that they were involved in a police pursuit;
As the SO was radioing in that he had spotted the suspect vehicle, and began to describe the driver, he suddenly stopped and shouted that the car had crashed. During this radio transmission, no sirens could be heard in the background; and
Two of the civilian witnesses indicated that the first police vehicle that arrived at the scene, did not arrive until some five to ten seconds after the collision.
Therefore, on the undisputed evidence, it appears clear that the SO, who was in possession of information that the white Volkswagen Jetta he observed ahead had just been involved in a bank robbery where firearms had been threatened, turned on his emergency equipment in order to conduct a vehicle stop in order to investigate the occupants of the suspect vehicle, when the vehicle almost immediately mounted the curb and crashed into the pole causing the Complainant's injuries. As such, I can find no causal connection between the actions of the SO and the injuries to the Complainant, nor can I find that the actions of the SO are open to any criticism, as it is clear that he was doing exactly as the law, and his duties, required him to do in these circumstances.
On these facts, I can find no criminal charge which would be even remotely relevant for consideration on these facts. With respect to either dangerous driving causing bodily harm, or criminal negligence causing bodily harm, the evidence reveals neither a causal connection between the actions of the SO and the subsequent collision and injuries to the Complainant, nor any actions by the SO that could possibly fall outside the limits of the criminal law. Therefore, as I lack the grounds for the laying of any criminal charges, none shall issue.
In concluding, however, I wish to make note of the efficient and professional behaviour of the members of the GPS in their concerted effort to apprehend the alleged bank robbers. Their behaviour, which involved the use of a very minimal amount of force, in the successful apprehension of these parties was commendable in the circumstances and should be a standard towards which all police services strive.

Obama's Illegal Alien Auntie: The Rest of the Story (Thanks, George W. Bush)
I hope Barack Obama remembered to thank George Bush on behalf of his illegal alien aunt this week. The lame-duck Republican president did the Democratic president-elect a generous—and dangerous—favor right before Election Day: Putting politics above homeland security, the Bush administration ordered immigration authorities across the country to halt all deportation enforcement actions until the campaign season was over.
According to my sources, the Bush administration issued a 72-hour cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams to spare Obama embarrassment over his Kenyan half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango. The Associated Press reported on Nov. 1 that Onyango was a deportation evader—one of an estimated 700,000 illegal alien absconders who have ignored orders from immigration judges to leave the country. The wire report mentioned that the Department of Homeland Security distributed "an unusual nationwide directive within Immigration and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday's election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors."[AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally]
But the politicized order was even worse than the AP reported. The deportation process wasn't simply slowed down for public relations reasons and fear of a media backlash. The process was completely frozen.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement source familiar with Western field offices told me: "The ICE fugitive operations group throughout the United States was told to stand down until after the election from arresting or transporting anyone out of the United States. This was done to avoid any mistakes of deporting or arresting anyone who could have a connection to the election, i.e., anyone from Kenya who could be a relative. The decision was election-driven."
Another source close to ICE operations in a Southern California field office confirmed that immigration officials there received the same directive: "The reason they included all offices in the United States was to show that they were not targeting the district office where Auntie lived. They don't want to pick her up by mistake and cause a big problem."
In other words, the Bush Department of Homeland Security determined that protecting Obama from the negative publicity surrounding a potential arrest of his illegal alien aunt was more important to the general welfare of the country than tracking down untold numbers of deportation absconders who received an extra three-day pass last week. DHS refuses to comment publicly about the case.
Warped homeland security priorities are bipartisan. Democratic Rep. John Conyers has called for an immediate investigation—not into the rank politicizing of our deportation policies, but into who leaked Onyango's deportation fugitive status to the press.
Question: Why shouldn't this information be public?
As for President-elect Obama, his true views about ICE are well known. Despite telling Katie Couric that his aunt should be required to follow the law because "we're a nation of laws. … I'm a strong believer you have to obey the law," Obama scolded ICE agents, who are doing their jobs, for "terrorizing" communities.
Onyango arrived in the United States in 2000 on a temporary visa. Her asylum request was rejected in 2004. She defied the immigration court order to go back to Kenya, moved into Boston public housing and is now hiding with relatives in Cleveland while contemplating how to extend her illegal stay.
Question: Will an Obama White House reinstate the deportation enforcement freeze in Ohio? Wouldn't want to "terrorize" the community.
(Meanwhile, real terrorists have benefited enormously from lax enforcement of deportation orders and asylum loopholes. Ramzi Yousef, Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer and Mir Aimal Kansi all exploited our catch-and-release system by invoking asylum and evading swamped authorities before plotting and executing jihadist attacks.)
Onyango's options, like those of hundreds of thousands of deportation fugitives like her, are wide open. With the help of a seasoned immigration lawyer, she can take another bite at the judicial apple and appeal her deportation order. She can take her case all the way to the Supreme Court. She can find an illegal alien sanctuary church to give her refuge. Or she can take advantage of the longstanding congressional practice of creating "special relief" bills to help individual deportation fugitives escape punishment and acquire U.S. citizenship.
The post-9/11 Bush homeland security equation looks pretty much like the pre-9/11 one, and that will continue under Obama: Cowardice plus rank opportunism times political correctness equals a lasting recipe for immigration chaos.

Review: NASIR by Nas
There's no way to get around this: the worst part about Nas's new album is Nas.
Marshall Gu
Of the five projects Kanye West had in store for us, I was most excited for NASIR; because Kanye brings out the best of both Pusha T and Kid Cudi, I expected great things from Daytona and Kids See Ghosts. And because Kanye West hasn't produced anything for Nas since Hip Hop Is Dead back in 2006 (of which Kanye's "Still Dreaming" is one of the few tracks worth salvaging), I wanted to see how he would tailor an entire album – albeit a short one – for Nas. Nas, on the other hand, has spent most of his career disappointing people eager for another Illmatic, but I found his last album, 2012's Life is Good, to be unexpected greatness, and one of the best hip-hop albums from a year with no shortage of them and easily his best album in a decade. He seemed invigorated, and though the Drake-like cover made it seem like the album would air out dirty laundry with his then-recent divorce with Kelis, he barely addressed that. Instead, we got a wide arrange of fast-rapped topics over some excellent beats, courtesy of mostly No I.D. and Salaam Remi. Looking back, maybe Life is Good was the exact moment that No I.D. made his comeback before playing a huge role on Vince Staples' Summertime '06 or sole responsible for Jay Z's best albums in years.
There's no way to get around this: the worst part about Nas's new album is Nas. He uses "Not for Radio" like it were his Twitter account, tossing out lines that suggest Kanye West might've been a bad influence on him; others have pointed out the falsities of "SWAT was created to stop the Panthers" or "Fox News was started by a black dude, also true" but I'm still grappling with the line just before that: "Reagan had Alzheimer's, that's true." That line, and it's disconnect from the Fox News bit or the preceding lines (I think we're supposed to connect it back to the government profiting off of drugs) showcases the weak writing, never mind that the flow and rhymes are barely passable. And that's just the first song, which I guess eases us into "White Label," where lines like "Chin-grabber, neck-choker, in-her-mouth-spitter / Blouse-ripper, ass-gripper…" (whose quick rhymes and flow recall Earl Sweatshirt breaking out) seem in bad taste to recent allegations from Kelis about physical abuse (also not the first time Nas has been accused) or "Bonjour," where he starts us off with "How many girls pre-bate right before they date / So she can have restraint? She still get slayed." Potential mind-blowers like "The odds is that what you love can kill you / Like a heart physician who dies from a heart attack" read like fortune cookie insights.
The nadir is centerpiece "everything." If you've heard anything about the new album, it's probably the lines,
"A parent hates to watch his baby's face/ Taking his first immunization shots, but this is great/ The child's introduction to suffering and pain/ Understands without words, nothing is explained/ Or rushed to the brain, looking up at his parents' face/ Like, 'I thought you would protect me from this scary place?/ Why'd you let them inject me?/ Who's gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?'"
These harken back to Stillmatic's "What Goes Around," where Nas said "Doctors injecting our infants with the poison," but he immediately pivots from his distaste of vaccinations to the Philadelphia Starbucks incident where two black men were arrested ("If Starbucks is bought by Nestle, please don't arrest me / I need to use your restroom and I ain't buy no espresso soon enough"). Again, it's just more evidence of weak writing whereas just one album prior, "No Introduction" and "A Queens Story" and especially "World's an Addiction" were climaxing with well thought out verses, filled with autobiographical details, neat references to other songs from the same album or arcane rhymes, respectively.
And yet: Kanye West seems unwilling to disappoint his promise to Obama (Kanye tweeted "I promised Obama Ima do beats on NAS' next album" back in 2016) or even Nas ("I feel like I'm 18 years old again when I'm making beats for Nas"). The big boom of the drums on "Not for Radio" manage to keep the song rolling and not leaving any time for listeners to seriously dwell on Nas' shower thoughts; 070 Shake – previously appearing on Daytona ("Santeria") and Ye ("Ghost Town," "Violent Crimes") – finally gets credited as a feature, and she does a spot-on impersonation of The-Dream. This is followed up by one of the most inspired samples I've heard from Kanye West all year, taking one line from Slick Rick's "Children's Story" and looping it over and over, adding only the occasional scream and demonic harmony. Here, Nas gets the most poignant lines by staying simple: "Get scared, you panic, you're going down / The disadvantage of the brown / How in the hell the parents gon' bury their own kids / Not the other way around? / Reminds me of Emmett Till / Let's remind 'em why Kap kneels."
The other highlight comes on the other side of the album, with a simple piano loop driving "Adam and Eve" filled out with lo-fi acoustic guitar that Kanye West might've picked up from Paul McCartney back when they worked on "FourFiveSeconds." Songs like this – and "Stay" from Life is Good – suggest that Nas might've done better had he picked slower, more melancholic beats and rapped like the elder statesman he is, rather than whatever we actually got on the record. Elsewhere, I find myself looking forward to hearing the hand-offs between Kanye West and The-Dream on "everything", recalling previous autotuned hand-offs between West and higher-pitched and feyer singers (ie. "Highlights," "Wolves," "New Slaves") even if I know I have to contend with Nas' clunky verses.
There has been little written of Nas that's as truthful and succinct as what Jay-Z said on "Takeover," Jay's diss track against Nas back in 2001 (produced by Kanye West, no less): "Two of them shits was due / One as 'nah,' the other was Illmatic / That's a one hot album every 10 year average, and that's so LAME." Since then, we've had The Lost Tapes (2002) and Life is Good (2012), so I guess we shouldn't have been surprised that NASIR wasn't great – it came about four years too early. C PLUS

We have updated the terms and circumstances of our Rocket Lawyer On Call® Service Level Agreement that apply to your use of the platform and merchandise and solutions supplied by Rocket Lawyer. As a outcome, much of the litigation about marriage was about house over which the prevalent law had legal jurisdiction. It was settled in the case of United States v. Hudson and Goodwin , 11 U.S. 32 (1812), which decided that federal courts had no jurisdiction to define new widespread law crimes, and that there ought to often be a (constitutional) statute defining the offense and the penalty for it. The state decided that their marriage did not legally begin until the moment he divorced the Virginia woman.
Anyway, the only time common law definitely ever comes about is in probate situations, where a partner has passed away and a frequent law partner is either not incorporated in the estate or they are included but are taxed on the passage of the home (most states do not tax spouses, and the FET has unlimited exemptions for spouses).
Though I am living with somebody now, I do agree that marriage is a better option. The following states formerly recognized widespread law marriages, and will usually still recognize them if couples satisfied all the needs ahead of the ban was in spot. The church did not approve of males and ladies taking themselves as man and wife before their vows have been ratified by the church, since canon law recognised this as the basis of holy matrimony. Without the need of the stability of marriage girls with youngsters in this predicament are less most likely to be happy with their relationships.
States that do recognize popular law marriage include things like the following: Alabama, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia (if produced prior to 1997), Idaho (if designed ahead of 1996), Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only), Ohio (if designed prior to 10/1991), Oklahoma, Pennsylvania (if produced just before 9/2003), Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.
By the 16th century, huge numbers of individuals had been living collectively in situations of varying uncertainty, as there was no consensus about how to conduct a legally binding marriage. Sadly, studies have shown more aggression in males in typical law households producing their ladies partners more susceptible to abuse in their partnership. A valid and binding marriage was a verbal contract, by way of an exchange of vows amongst a man and a woman more than the age of consent (14 and 12), with two witnesses and expressed in the present tense.
For example, they could argue that an award of damages (at widespread law (as opposed to equity) ) was not enough redress for a trespasser occupying their land, and as an alternative request that the trespasser be evicted. In other words, a couple who lives with each other for a day, a week, a year — states never have a time requirement — agrees to be married and tells family members and close friends they are. Young children from a common law marriage have the same rights as those from a legal marriage.

Performance And Cocktails
A Northern Soul
This limited edition print was published on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the release of the Stereophonics' platinum album Performance and Cocktails.
Working with Kelly Jones, who was inspired by the Annie Leibovitz photograph Christmas at Soledad Prison, California 1971, Scarlet Page devised this dramatic scene, shot the photograph at a football pitch under the Westway, in London, in Autumn 1998.
The shoot was completed in record time, with the pitch rented for only one hour, but the resulting photograph is enigmatic and refined. A memorable image.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — It took nine innings, but the Illinois softball team didn't that mind one bit.
After a rough opening weekend in which the Illini dropped four straight in Florida, Tyra Perry's team was happy to be back on the winning side of the ledger.
In game one of Friday's opening day of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, Illinois got its wish as Alexis Carrillo delivered a game-tying home run to deep center field in the seventh inning, and the Illini eventually toppled Pittsburgh, 5-4, after nine frames.
In the late game, host North Carolina rode a four-run fifth inning to a 6-2 victory over the Illini, who are 2-5 on the season.
"We are a team that is steadily working to establish an identity," Perry said. "We are starting to see hard nosed play in spurts from several players but we still need to make improvements in all facets of the game to win consistently."
Men's tennis drops opener. Brad Dancer's Illinois men's tennis team will be well tested by the time Big Ten play rolls around next month.
Illinois' schedule has featured a who's who of opponents, after all.
Friday was no different, as the Illini matched wits with their sixth consecutive ranked foe.
Illinois tied its match against seventh-ranked UCLA twice, as Zeke Clark and Aron Hiltzik both won in singles, but the Bruins took the final two matches and claimed a 4-2 triumph over the Illini at Friday's opening round of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Seattle.
Clark won 6-2, 6-4 over Logan Staggs while Hiltzik emerged with a 6-3, 7-5 victory.
"UCLA played better than us today. Watching the match unfold, I knew there were a few things we could do to prepare better,Dancer said after his Illini dropped to 4-3. ... "We have enough good players to contend for this tournament, so this was a bitter pill to swallow no question."
UI outside top 10. Entering today's final day of the Big Ten Championships in Columbus, Ohio, the Illinois women's swimming team is in 12th place.
A day after becoming the first Illini diver to score at the league championships since 2010, junior Ling Kuhn netted a 295.05 in the preliminary round of 3-meter diving. She eventually finished 15th place overall.

They teleport qubits through a simulated wormhole using a sycamore quantum processor
2 months ago Cedric Manwaring

If you think so Entanglement of qubits using the Fibonacci sequence It was confusing, you better hold on to something. A team of physicists recently discovered that quantum systems can simulate wormholes, theoretical shortcuts in space-time where systems allow instant transit of information between distant locations.
The research team believes their findings could have implications for the study of quantum gravity, the general term used to pair quantum mechanics and Newtonian gravity, which does not affect quantum particles the way classical objects do. was the investigation published in nature.
"The relationship between quantum entanglement, space-time, and quantum gravity is one of the most important questions in fundamental physics and an active area of theoretical research," said Maria Spiropolou, a Caltech physicist and lead author of the paper. The study in press release. "We're excited to be taking this small step to test these ideas on quantum devices and will move forward."
Let's go by the parts. To be clear, the researchers did not literally send quantum information through a rip in space-time, which could theoretically connect two separate regions of space-time. (Imagine folding a sheet of paper and sticking a pencil through the two layers. The paper is spacetime, and now you have a portal between two very far away regions.)
One idea put forth in theoretical physics is that wormholes are equivalent to quantum entanglement, which Einstein referred to as "spooky action at a distance." This means that even at large distances, entangled quantum particles are determined by the spins of each of them. Because quantum particles have this unique connection, they make an excellent test bed for teleportation.
G/O Media may earn a commission
in 2017Another team showed that the way theoretical wormholes are described in space-time by gravity is equivalent to quantum information transmission. The latest team has been looking into the problem themselves. for some years. They wanted to show that not only is the relationship parabolic, but that the information transmitted can be described by gravity or against quantum entanglement. To do this, the researchers used Google's Sycamore quantum processor.
"We've performed a kind of quantum teleportation equivalent of a traversable wormhole in gravitational form," Aleksandr Zlokaba, an MIT graduate student and part of the team, said in the release. "To do this, we had to simplify the quantum system to the smallest example that would preserve the properties of gravity so we could implement it on Google's Sycamore quantum processor."
The team put a qubit (quantum bit) into a special quantum system and monitored the information coming from another system. According to their study, the information they provided in one quantum system traveled through the quantum equivalent of a wormhole to exit the other system.
The researchers said that the teleportation of quantum information was at the same time what would be expected from the perspective of quantum physics and from the understanding of gravity of how an object travels through a wormhole.
The team plans to build more complex quantum systems to test how the transmission of quantum information might change in a more complex experimental setup. It's been 87 years since Einstein and his colleagues first described wormholes. Physicists may have cracked this interdimensional egg before the idea was 100 years old.
