Q: The Poincaré dual of a space-time curve We have a smooth space-time curve defined by $f:C{\mapsto}M$, where $M$ is a typical curved space-time manifold.
${\eta}^{(4)}$ is the volume 4-form defined on $M$ and ${\varepsilon}^{(1)}$ is the (non-degenerate) volume 1-form induced on $C$. As usual, both forms are defined by the space-time metric.
Making  reasonable assumptions about the curve, how does one find its Poincaré dual, denoted by the closed 3-form ${\beta}$.

A: You should read more carefully the page before 203 (namely 202). $J$ in his example (or $\beta$ in yours) is not a differential 3-form per se. It is a differential 3-form in the distributional sense. You can think of it as
$$ \delta_{f(C)} \iota_{f'} \omega $$
by which I mean a Dirac delta function supported on the curve $f(C)$ times the three form obtained by contracting the velocity vector of $f$ against the space-time volume form.
More generally, the language to think about is that of currents in the sense of de Rham which is used, among other things, in geometric measure theory. The basic idea is to extend distribution theory for functions to a theory for differential forms. So on a $4$-manifold $M$ we can consider, for example, the set $\mathcal{D}_1$ of all continuous linear functionals mapping smooth one forms of compact support to the real numbers. There are two general categories that should be familiar:

*

*We see that $\mathcal{D}_1$ contains a copy of all smooth differential 3-forms of compact support, since given a differential 3-form $\eta$ and a 1-form $\kappa$, the mapping
$$ \kappa \mapsto \int_{M} \eta \wedge \kappa $$
(observe that the wedge product gives us a top degree form) is continuous and linear in $\kappa$.

*We see that $\mathcal{D}_1$ contains a copy of all smooth one dimensional submanifolds of $M$. For let $S$ be a one dimensional submanifold, we can integrate any one form over it. And the integration
$$ \kappa \mapsto \int_S \kappa $$
is continuous and linear in $\kappa$.

The space $\mathcal{D}_1$ is much larger, since it is the dual of a topological vector space, it is in particular a linear space, and we need to start taking linear combinations of objects listed above. The sum of a three form and a 1 dimensional submanifold isn't really either.
But what about the notation $J\wedge A$? If it is not a differential form, why do we take a wedge product?
This is really just an abuse of notation inherited in part from distribution theory. Recall that frequently we write Schwartz distributions as if they were functions (for example, recall that we think about the Dirac delta as a "generalized function" and write $\int_M \delta f \mathrm{d}x$ for the duality pairing between the distribution $\delta$ and the function $f$). Drawing an analogy with the three forms case where the wedge product actually makes sense, sometimes people write
$$ \int_M J\wedge \kappa $$
for the duality pairing of evaluating the continuous linear functional $J: \Omega^1_c(M)\to \mathbb{R}$ on the element $\kappa \in \Omega^1_c(M)$.

Now then, what does this have to do with Poincare duality?
Suppose now that $\kappa$ is a closed one-form, and $S$ is a closed curve in $M$. From Stokes theorem the integral $\int_S \kappa$  only depends on the homology class of $S$ and the cohomology class of $\kappa$. And by Poincare duality, there exists actually a canonical isomorphism between homology classes $H_1$ (of closed curves) with the cohomology classes $H^3$ (of closed three forms).
In other words, for every closed curve $S$ in $M$ there exists a (possibly nonunique, up to addition of an exact form) three form $\eta$ such that
$$ \int_S \kappa = \int_M \eta\wedge \kappa $$
holds provided that $\kappa$ is closed (that is, $\mathrm{d}\kappa = 0$). Note that for non-closed forms this equality may be invalid.  So the above equality is not saying that the images in $\mathcal{D}_1$ of $S$ and $\eta$ are the same thing!
On page 203 when it is mentioned that the "Poincare dual of a world line" is considered, the authors really meant that they are considering the current $J\in\mathcal{D}_1$ (the latter set they seemed to have named $\Omega^{|-1|}$) representing the image of the curve $f(C)$ (which is a smooth one dimensional submanifold). In equation (4.14) of the book the third term on the right
$$ \int_{T_1}^{T_2} x^* A $$
where $A$ is a two form and $x: \mathbb{R} \to M$ is a smooth map is precisely the correct mathematical way to write the duality pairing of this $J$ against the one form $A$.
(I dislike this use of the terminology "Poincare duality", but it appears that it is endemic in the string theory and high energy physics community.)

The greens make a tectonic shift in Switzerland
The Green Party and the Green Liberal Party have made historic gains in Switzerland's parliamentary elections. The national conservative SVP remains the strongest party but lost four percentage points. Commentators explain the reasons for the green parties' success and describe the challenges that lie ahead for these now stronger parties.
Blick (CH) / 21 October 2019
Climate change is making Swiss rethink choices
The daily newspaper Blick calls the election results historic:
"It's true, a Green wave was expected. But what came was a Green tidal wave .... Being Green has become a lifestyle. Being Green is in. But not all Greens are alike: In fact, the sole thing that the Green Party and the Green Liberal Party have in common is the 'Green' in their name. Otherwise, they are as far apart as [the social democratic] SP and [the liberal Swiss] FDP. ... Green Party voters have quite a different view of the world than Green Liberal voters. But they do share a common demand: Politicians should take climate change seriously and take action. ... For decades, Switzerland has stood for unwavering stability with at most mild fluctuations in voters' choices. Perhaps we are simply on the verge of becoming a normal country."
Christian Dorer
Zeit Online (DE) / 20 October 2019

Melting glaciers can no longer be ignored
Zeit Online explains why the success of the greens really comes as no surprise:
"After all, Switzerland is disproportionately affected by climate change. Since the mid-19th century, the average annual temperature in this country has already increased by 2 degrees celsius. And while hot summers and record droughts are only now making climate change visible in Germany, those who live in the Swiss Alps have been witnessing its effects for decades. The melting glaciers had barely translated into political successes until now. The loss of their eternal ice had left the Swiss relatively cold. Today, in the year 2019, this has changed."

Dangers of resting on their laurels
The clear gains for green parties won't make a real impact on day-to-day political life in Switzerland, laments Le Courrier:
"The SVP remains the strongest force in Switzerland. Blocher's clique will just have a little less leeway. ... This social movement will have to continue to push through its projects by expanding its power at the grass-roots level. There will be no more blocking majority in the parliament. This is huge, yet far from enough. The expectations - especially those of young people - are immense. Disappointing them will open the door to political frustration that will have immediate consequences, just as the failure of socialism in France and Germany has had."

Q: Understanding pointer array syntax I am trying to write a simple c program to print out the addresses of character strings in an array of character strings. Here is the program:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char *words[] = {"hello", "cruel", "world"};
    int count = sizeof(words) / sizeof(char*);

    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < count; i++){
        printf("address: %p\n", (words+i));
        printf("address: %p\n", &(words[i])); //<- why does this work?
        printf("address: %p\n", words[i]); //<- not the same as first print?
        printf("---\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

and the output:
address: 0x7fff043110f0
address: 0x7fff043110f0
address: 0x4006b4
---
address: 0x7fff043110f8
address: 0x7fff043110f8
address: 0x4006ba
---
address: 0x7fff04311100
address: 0x7fff04311100
address: 0x4006c0
---

Now this is how I understand it: words is a pointer to a pointer, pointing to the first address of this array of arrays.
Then words[i] is a pointer to an array of characters, words[0] pointing to the first address of "hello" and words[1] pointing to the first address of "cruel".
Now I am trying to print out the addresses of the strings in different ways.
The first way makes sense: (the pointer to words is incremented by the size of one pointer and then I print it out, formatting it as a pointer)
In the second one, what I think should be happening: words[i] returns a pointer to the indexed word and using & operator on it returns the address. But it is unclear to me how %p is is used for a pointer type in the first print statement and address type in the second statement.
What would make sense to me would be is if the third print statement gave the output of the second print statement. ( (words+i) and words[i] are the same in the context of pointers? )
Someone please help me clear this up. Thanks

A: words[i] is doing what it is supposed to -- returning the i-th element of the array -- it is pointing to where the i-th string actually lives.
words[0] is 0x4006b4 because that's where the h in hello lives.  And notice that words[0], words[1], and words[2] are all 6 apart.  That's because each of your words is 6 characters long (5 "real" characters and the trailing null).
(words + i) is telling you where in memory the i-th element of the array lives.  Notice those are 8 apart.  That's because the length of a pointer is 8 bytes on your system.  words is a pointer that points to the first element in the array.  Remember that when you do pointer arithmetic it is implicitly using the size of the type when incrementing.  So words + i doesn't mean "base address plus i bytes".  It means "base address plus i*sizeof(type) bytes".  Here the type is a pointer, and its size is 8 bytes.
&(words[i]) is the same as (words + i) because the first expression is saying "give me the address of the i-th element of the array lives".  Which is the same thing (words + i) is doing -- because that's how the C/C++ language spec says arrays get laid out.

A: When you compile your C code, you get a binary file. Without going into too much detail (i.e. I'm simplifying), this consists of some code and some data in different sections, the .code section and the .data section. It helps to think about what is in the .data section.
char *words[] = {"hello", "cruel", "world"};

This creates some data in your .data section, your compiler may do it differently to this, but I am using one-byte for char and 4-bytes for pointers:
0x00000000 'h' 'e' 'l' 'l' 'o' 0 ? ? <- Data for the "hello" string
0x00000008 'c' 'r' 'u' 'e' 'l' 0 ? ? <- etc.
0x00000010 'w' 'o' 'r' 'l' 'd' 0 ? ? <- etc.

The numbers on the left are the hex addresses within the data section. I have aligned each string on an 8-byte boundary, your compiler might do it differently, this is just how I chose to do it. Notice that the strings are terminated with a nil byte and the question marks represent the two additional (uninitialised) bytes before the next bit of data starts (caused by my alignment decision).
If your array were a global, you would also get this for the array:
0x00000018 0x00000000 <- 4-byte pointer to "hello" string
0x0000001C 0x00000008 <- 4-byte pointer to "cruel" string
0x00000020 0x00000010 <- 4-byte pointer to "world" string

In your code however it's not a global, it's created temporarily on the stack as you enter the function. That's why the addresses you see are so drastically different from the addresses of the string data. I'll pretend it's a global for this explanation and use the addresses above.
Don't worry that the value of your first pointer here is actually NULL. These values change in your running program, depending on what other .data your program is linked with and where your program is loaded into memory. The point is, the values I use here to explain are relative to your .data section.
Now words is as you say, a pointer to pointer. The value of words is 0x00000018 - it points to the start of your array (see above).
int count = sizeof(words) / sizeof(char*);

sizeof(words) is 12 (look at the data above), sizeof(char*) is 4, so count is 3.
Now here's what you need to understand about pointer arithmetic in C:
The compiler knows the size of the thing pointed at, and addition works in multiples of that size. Considering words + i - the compiler knows that words points to a pointer, and the size of a pointer is 4, therefore because words equals 0x00000018, words + 1 is equal to 0x0000001C.
Now words[i] is the same as *(words + i) - this means the contents of (words + i). When i = 1 (words + i) will be 0x0000001C, and looking at the data section, the contents of that address (which the compiler knows is a 4-byte pointer) is 0x00000008. This is a pointer to the "cruel" string.
Your other experiment was with &words[i] - this is the same as words + i, it is the address of the element in the array, not what it points at.
Since the pointers in the words array point to char then words[2][1] would be calculated like this:
// First get words[2]
char *words2 = *(words + 2) <- Contents of 0x00000020 as char*
// words2 now holds 0x00000010 - the address of the "world" string
char result = *(words2 + 1)
// result now holds 'o'

Notice that where words is a pointer to pointer, words2 above is a pointer to char so words2 + 1 is 0x00000011 - it has added 1 because the sizeof(char) is 1. And the contents of 0x00000011 is 'o'. If you want the address of that 'o' character you could do &words[2][1] and you'd get 0x00000011.

To transform your company and complete in the digital age, you need to work like a digital company. But being a digital company is about much more than building an app and applying technology to your existing business. You have to go deeper, It requires a new operating mode, new business model, a different model of customer engagement and internal processes and IT systems you've relied on to get where you are today. Box CIO Paul Chapman will share lessons learned on how IT should be one of the key strategic change agents to power your move to digital.
What is the future of work in the enterprise? Too many companies are stuck in the old model where requests, incidents, and HR cases get done via unstructured paths in emails, phone calls or texts. This approach constrains business velocity which is desperately needed to be competitive. The winners will operate and innovate faster than their competition. To succeed, organizations need to become a LightSpeed Enterprise.
This session will explore the journey to the LightSpeed Enterprise including frameworks around key goals and metrics, organizational implications and risks along with practical experience.
As a CIO, you have the opportunity to play a leading role in your organisation's digital journey. If you take this chance, you will be creating a very different future for yourself as well as for your organisation. In this session, Ian will discuss the key steps of the digital journey and describe what the future will look like for CIOs that lead the way through these steps. He will also identify the actions that you can take now to ensure you capitalise on this opportunity and create your future CIO role.
Experimentation and failure are essential to innovation because, by its nature, an innovation is an unknown that can only be discovered through trial and error. How can organizations create and nurture a culture of innovation? How can you build momentum and show results?
Every organization today faces growing vulnerability of fading into irrelevance in terms of delivering value to its customers, investors, employees, etc. Owing to this vulnerability, organizations need effective solutions to be prepared for potential opportunities and threats, both internal and external, and be acutely responsive to such opportunities and threats. Thus, the need for exemplary leadership has never been more important than it is today and this importance is only going to grow in the future.
As enterprises (and their CIOs & IT organizations) struggle with timely responses to new, accelerating digital competency requirements, the need for speed in creating digital capabilities has become critical. Digital Transformation is a team sport. Now is not the time to divide IT, but unify and leverage everyone in the face of new business and technical challenges. Many have experimented with two-speed, bimodal approaches and found them insufficient; at best, they drive CIOs to compound technical debt that will bankrupt the IT organization and hamstring the enterprise down the road.
The City of Edmonton had invested heavily into Google office products by was not realizing the take up or benefits promised. Moreover, there were several competing workforce mobility projects. Enter OneCity workplace which consolidated the many disparate projects and products whilst changing the nature of these initiatives from technology focused to people focused by answering the question "what's in it for you".
Big Data and the Internet of Things have arrived, and technology will continue to advance. At the same time, our needs for personal privacy and individual respect remain fundamental to who we are as human beings. And then there is the law. While there are no laws created specifically to deal with Big Data and the IoT, that doesn't mean that the law has nothing to say about them.
In this session, Kelly Friedman will discuss Big Data and the IoT from a legal perspective. She will address "big picture" concerns about Big Data and consumer IoT, the current legal and regulatory framework to be applied, the distinction between privacy and security, and tools to move forward with Big Data and IoT projects with an acceptable level of risk.
How soon will it be before we can't tell whether we are speaking with a human or a virtual agent? The time separating sci-fi from reality is shrinking as we continue to move closer to a new era that re-defines the relationship between man and machine.
Digital economies demand a digital workforce. Tomorrow's businesses will be staffed with a combination of human and virtual labor. Hiring labour from the cloud in order to help manage the myriad of connections with your customers, colleagues and suppliers is fast becoming essential. How will you integrate these digital employees into your current workforce and processes? Who will manage these digital employees and ensure they help you outperform your competition?
Hear how AI can communicate on an emotional as well as factual level. Assess for yourself how deeply this technology will impact every process and drive you to re-invent your business.
Innovation is everywhere. And everyone has an opinion about what it is, what it isn't, and what it means for you and your company. What isn't quite as everywhere is the chance to go to the front lines and listen to the innovation story of an innovation leader in the Canadian financial sector. Dave and Glenn will discuss ATB Financial's bold vision to modernize its entire banking system, the development of ATB's innovation lab, the completion of the first successful Canadian international block-chain money transfer, and ATB's approach to the innovation being delivered. And lived.
Digital is not a thing, but is simply a word that describes our world today. Advancements in technology have blurred the lines between physical and virtual, creating an emergence of digital disruptors that provide new pathways for organizations to create value.
While organizations are facing fundamental disruptions with digital transformation, the role of CIOs will change, just like their business reality. What will the CIO's focus be moving forward? Mr. Carreiro will walk us through the challenges that await CIOs over the coming years, the evolution of their role within the organization, and our redefining environment.
Success for creating a digital business demands the collaboration of three main players: the CMO, CIO, and CHRO. This team recognizes that a focus on customer, user and employee digital experiences is fast becoming the "new brand". Customers and staff expect omni-channel and convenient access for all business functions and regard this as an "entitlement" – shaped by their daily consumer digital experiences with a wide array of organizations.

FRIDAY. What more can you say about Friday but to all caps that sucker?
So I have some exciting news - my blog redesign is just about done and I love love love it!! It should be live in the next few weeks. I can't wait to share with you. The URL will stay the same. But gone are the yellow and the busy-ness of the current template. I find the new site a lot easier to read and navigate and the comments are especially easier to use. Sadly, the Swoon logo that I absolutely adore is gone as well. Jamie is [at least temporarily] hanging up her blogging hat, and a solo cameo gave me a big sad. So I did a complete control alt delete with the site for a fresh new look. More details when the new site is up and running, but I can sum up my feelings about it with a giant rainbow colored squee!!!
Anyway, here are some outfits. I am so ready for Spring. After the week of ice and cold and snow and mess ... I am ready freddy for Spring.
I love this dress. The print is so fun and it's a very comfortable and flattering dress. I got it awhile ago from Banana Republic Outlet for something crazy cheap like $11. The only danger is Amy has a dress very similar, so if I don't check with her before wearing, I am always a little afraid that we will be twinsies.
I bought this cowl neck wool sweater back in 2012 from Ann Taylor. I remember that because it was a great deal and 2012 was a super warm Winter ... so warm that I couldn't wear this sweater! The past few Winters have more than made up for it. I wore this on a Friday to work.
Here's a weekend outfit. The forecast was for snow (of course) so I wore my Hunter boots (which are a pretty green), with my black leggings, grey slouchy sweater, white top and grey knee socks. It was cozy and easy and I think chic enough for errands and basketball games.
Have a terrific weekend! See you back here on Monday with a round-up of the last two weeks' worth of training and - I promise - a house project! In the meantime, I hope your weekend is epic. Or at least kinda fun.

Q: ASP.NET Dynamic Data TextSearch Custom Filter Template I'm trying to implement a custom filter template for all text based searches and running into problems constructing the query. I've been following the instructions posted on this blog but not sure how change the GetQueryable method to perform a
WHERE columnAttribute LIKE '%something%'

query. In the example on the blog the expression is an equality which works if the text I enter exactly matches the text in the database column.
At the moment I'm using the new QueryExtender feature along with the SearchExpression control but this requires creating several custom pages for all the tables I need text search functionality for. I would like to DRY this up by creating the custom filter template. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: In LINQ to SQL, the Strings.Contains method is how you express the LIKE operator. What follows is an example of how you could build a filter template around the LIKE operator. For this example, we'll give our custom filter template the name "Text".
The first step is to update the Dynamic Data metadata. Annotate all the columns you want to be able to search on with the FilterUIHintAttribute like so:
[FilterUIHint("Text")]

Now we need to create the "Text" filter template. Create the Text.ascx user control in the filter templates folder (typically "~/DynamicData/Filters"):
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Text.ascx.cs" Inherits="Text" %>

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox1" autocomplete="off" OnTextChanged="TextBox1_Changed" />

Next create the code behind, Text.ascx.cs:
public partial class Text : QueryableFilterUserControl {
    public override Control FilterControl {
        get { return TextBox1; }
    }

    protected void TextBox1_Changed(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        OnFilterChanged();
    }

    public override IQueryable GetQueryable(IQueryable source) {
        var value = TextBox1.Text;
        if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value)) return source;

        if (DefaultValues != null) {
            DefaultValues[Column.Name] = value;
        }

        var parameter = Expression.Parameter(source.ElementType);
        var columnProperty = Expression.PropertyOrField(parameter, Column.Name);
        var likeValue = Expression.Constant(value, typeof (string));
        var condition = Expression.Call(
            columnProperty,
            typeof (string).GetMethod("Contains"),
            likeValue);
        var where = Expression.Call(
            typeof (Queryable),
            "Where",
            new[] { source.ElementType },
            source.Expression,
            Expression.Lambda(condition, parameter));
        return source.Provider.CreateQuery(where);
    }
}

Notice that we have provided no way for the user to postback the page (and hence, update the results) after updating the Text filter. As a matter of style, I find TextBox controls that auto-postback to be confusing, and I find that it is redundant to have a separate button to postback each individual filter. Instead, I like to add a single Button to the page template (for example, "~/DynamicData/PageTemplates/List.aspx") that allows the user to postback the page and update the results. Here is the relevant excerpt:
<asp:Panel runat="server" DefaultButton="UpdateFilter">

Random Tracks: Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
In Random Reviews, I'm reviewing a random hit song from any point in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 going from the chart's beginning in 1958. To make my site more interactive, if you like what I'm doing comment and let me know what random hit song you want me to review.
Blue Oyster Cult- "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
PEAK: #12 on November 6, 1976
SONG AT #1 THAT WEEK: Steve Miller Band's "Rock'n Me"
Death is the kind of topic that lends itself to lots of interpretations. After all, we're all going to die at one point or another and there's no evidence of what happens to us mentally and spiritually once we're gone so it's a perfect subject for people to place their own definitions. And we've seen that approach a lot in our cultures and traditions through religion, literature, movies, and in today's case music.
We wind up being afraid about death a lot of the time because of the unknown but considering it's a part of the natural life cycle it helps to accept that death will eventually happen. That's what "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," the biggest and signature song for New York-based rock group Blue Oyster Cult, is essentially about. It uses death to tell a love fantasy and how this couple will live together forever so why fear inevitable death. It's also a song that still gets plays on classic rock and Halloween playlists. It's not hard to see why.
Almost a decade before "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," Blue Oyster Cult had originated on New York's Long Island in 1967 as Soft White Underbelly made up of students at Stony Brook University. Guitarist Donald Roeser (Buck Dharma) was friends with fellow student and future rock critic/producer Sandy Pearlman who had heard Dharma and his group play one day. Liking what he heard, Pearlman offered to help them becoming their manager and creative partner. Through Pearlman, Soft White Underbelly started playing local gigs and got an early deal with Elektra Records. Things didn't go well at first. The music the group had recorded for Elektra didn't get released and Pearlman instituted several name changes for the band before settling on Blue Oyster Cult, taken from a line in one of Pearlman's poems.
With the new name, Pearlman and the group hooked up with producer David Lucas recording a series of demos that made their way to record producer Clive Davis who signed Blue Oyster Cult to his Columbia label. The group wasted no time recording their self-titled debut album released in January 1972 which right away gave a good indication for their early sound: a blending of Black Sabbath heavy metal lyricism with psychedelia and radio-friendly hard rock. They even collaborated with the legendary rock poet Patti Smith who contributed the songs "Baby Ice Dog" and "Career of Evil" which appeared on their second and third albums respectively, 1973's Tyranny and Mutation and 1974's Secret Treaties. (Patti Smith's highest-charing single, 1978's "Because The Night," peaked at #13.)
Blue Oyster Cult did not launch to fame right away. Their first album as well as their second, Tyranny and Mutation, peaked in the lower rungs of the album charts. Singles-wise they weren't doing much better as all of their songs had failed to chart on the Hot 100. Like many rock acts of the time, Blue Oyster Cult built up their fanbase by touring heavily where they opened for various acts including Alice Cooper and the Byrds. All of this started to pay off as Secret Treaties performed better peaking at #53. Their 1975 live album, On Your Feet or on Your Knees, outperformed all of their studio albums peaking at #22 and going gold.
For the band's next album, Agents of Fortune, Dharma had an idea for a song contemplating his own mortality inspired by his recent heart condition as he told Songfacts, "It was sort of inspired by a personal health scare – I thought I was going to maybe not live that long. I had been diagnosed with a heart condition, and your mind starts running away with you – especially when you're young-ish. So, that's why I wrote the story. It's imagining you can survive death in terms of your spirit. Your spirit will prevail."
Listening to the song, you can't really tell that it was inspired by someone's health condition. It is a song about anticipating death though not in the way Dharma describes. He uses the inspiration to tell a love story that he and his girl shouldn't fear death and that their love will transcend death noting "Seasons don't fear the reaper/Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain." It makes its point further by referencing the classic love tale of Romeo & Juliet and the 40,000 people that die every day stating "we can be like they are" which made some listeners suspect the song was about suicide which Dharma has denied. (Dharma estimated that 40,000 people died every day but his figure was way off. In 1976, about 140,000 people died every day but I guess 40,000 was easier to sing.)
In the second part of the song, everything changes. We get a moment of silence before a quiet eerie repeating guitar riff plays and then all of a sudden BOOM! the song attacks you with an out of nowhere dark sounding guitar tone and drumming that sounds like the reaper himself has come which lingers on thanks to the feedback echo on the third verse. When that ends, on the last verse and chorus, we hear of the girl dying and the reaper coming to take her away saying goodbye to the life and love she leaves behind, "She had taken his hand, she had become like they are."
Despite the dark and creepy tone, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" doesn't sound much like a song about impending death. Dharma delivers the song in a mournful tone but it's done through lush sounding harmonies that make it sound nice to listen to. Even the music doesn't sound too dark anchored by one of the most recognizable guitar riffs ever and a driving beat that was written and recorded on a Teac four-track recorder that Dharma had recently bought. It's a dark lyrical song that works well as a classic rock road trip jam and I love it.
"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" helped bring Blue Oyster Cult the biggest success and audience of their career breaking them onto the Hot 100 and helped Agents of Fortune go platinum. The band wouldn't reach these heights again but they kept moving along regularly releasing albums that continued to sell while adopting a slicker studio rock sound. On the Hot 100, Blue Oyster Cult had one more Top 40 hit with the 1981 banger "Burnin' For You" which peaked exactly at #40 and like "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" still gets residual play on classic rock stations.
"Burnin' For You" wound up being the gasp of relevance for Blue Oyster Cult. Drummer Albert Bouchard left soon after and band members have been coming and going ever since. Dharma and fellow lead singer Eric Bloom are the only members on "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" who are still in the band today. They're still at it today constantly touring on the classic rock nostalgia circuit before the pandemic hit where I saw them live on Long Island in 2013 which was a good show. They've continued to release albums including a new one just this month. It seems like Blue Oyster Cult will be active for as long as they want to. They don't seem to fear the reaper. Maybe we could be like they are.
GRADE: 10/10
BONUS BEATS: Here's the scene from the 1978 classic Halloween where "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" plays in the car as Mike Myers follows Laurie and Annie around:
BONUS BONUS BEATS: Stephen King cited "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" as the main inspiration for his book The Stand even quoting its lyrics in the intro. When The Stand was adapted into a TV miniseries in 1994, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was used in the opening scene depicting a bunch of dead people. Here's that intro:
BONUS BONUS BONUS BEATS: "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" would become further immortalized when it was the subject of the classic 2000 Saturday Night Live skit More Cowbell showing Will Ferrell going crazy on the cowbell in a fictionalized account of the recording of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." Here's the skit:

Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea set for Women's World Cup – posted by www.equatorialguineaonline.com
22 Comments on Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea set for Women's World Cup – posted by www.equatorialguineaonline.com
Page last updated at 12:40 GMT, Saturday, 25 June 2011 13:40 UK
By Kehinde Adeogun
BBC Sport, Germany Nigeria captain Precious Dede is confident her side can make an impact this time Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea are preparing to represent Africa at the Women's World Cup, which kicks-off in Germany on Sunday.
Nigeria have been to every edition of the female global showpiece, but Equatorial Guinea are making their debut at this level.
Nigeria face the hosts and defending champions Germany, plus Canada and France in Group A.
Equatorial Guinea will play Brazil, Norway and Australia in Group D.
Falcons to fly?Despite playing at every single World Cup, since the tournament's inception in 1991, the Super Falcons have only managed to get past the groups stages once – in the USA in 1999.
This time around Nigeria's squad has a blend of experienced campaigners, even with the surprise omission of Cynthia Uwak, and talented youngsters.
Veteran Perpetua Nkwocha, the top scorer at the African Women's Championship (AWC) last year in South Africa, will play alongside Ebere Orji, who helped Nigeria reach the final of the 2010 U20 Women's World Cup.

v France (26 June)
v Germany (30 June)
v Canada (5 July)
The Super Falcons have been training in Austria and recently drew 2-2 with Switzerland and are in confident mood ahead of the tournament.
"I am counting on the coaches to bring out the best in us, I am sure we will be ready to take on the world," captain and keeper Precious Dede said.
Nigeria play the first match of the tournament when they take on France on Sunday afternoon.
Under the radar?World Cup debutants Equatorial Guinea have kept their preparations under wraps, hoping to be the tournament's surprise package.
Two of their stars from the AWC, Bilguissa and Salimata Simpore, who were at the centre of claims about their sex at the tournament in South Africa, have been left out of the squad.
Equatorial Guinea captain Genoveva Anonma is ready for the Women's World Cup in Germany, where she plays her club footballTheir omission comes despite Equatorial Guinea rejecting claims by Nigeria and other countries that the sisters are male.
Genoveva Anonma, who also caught up in that row, has been included in the squad and will captain the side.
"I'm excited, I'm a bit nervous because I've never played in a World Cup," Anonma, who plays her club football in Germany, said.
"It's very emotional because most players want to be in the position we're in right now."

v Norway (29 June)

v Brazil (6 July)
"I came here improve my game a bit, because playing in Africa isn't the same as playing in Europe," she explained.
She seems to have adapted well to the game in Germany, because she was top scorer for USV Jena and this month secured a transfer to top Bundesliga side Turbine Postdam.
Anonma says the team will be especially keen to take points from Brazil in their final group match, because a number fo the squad play in that country.
"That's an advantage for us, having lots of players in Brazil – having them play for us can only help" she said.

Jobs for the taking
29 March 2006 tbs.pm/3500
For years they've been there, nestling in the late night schedule. Those little programmes which advertise jobs to those who are either insomniacs or have set the video.
Where the Jobs Are
From 1984 comes this still from employment based programme, Where the Jobs Are – here presented by newsreader Roderick Griffith.
Joblink
From 2001, and produced in conjunction with the Job Centre, it's Joblink.
The Joblink titles, and indeed the set and captions, are designed by the Employment Service and are designed to fit in with their corporate branding. Who came up with the incredibly cheesy title music is another question.
Newsreader and reporter Kim Inglis is in the Joblink chair with a rather garish chroma-key background. Once the programme gets going, the presenters name is removed from the Joblink caption.
Enough of the wittering on about the set – here's what people really tune in for. The jobs. No idea what a Procurement Engineer is, but there's a bit of cash for it.
And if you want to apply for it, here's the phone number. (It might actually have gone by now.)
#programmes, #Tyne Tees
Factsheet 1966: Independent Television Programmes
Joanne Gray wrote 15 May 2016 at 5:48 pm
I could be wrong but I'm certain that Where The Jobs Are used to be shown after the lunchtime regional news bulletin. I remember being ill and off school once or twice in the early 80s and watching it before switching over to the Channel 4 testcard music.
Arthur Vasey wrote 18 January 2017 at 2:28 pm
It was originally shown during the news programme Today At Six on, I think, Friday – or shortly afterwards – but was ultimately moved to Wednesday lunchtime, in place of Lookaround – only thing is that most of the jobs were in Newcastle, Gosforth, Consett, Gateshead, Sunderland, Blaydon or Bedlington – hardly worth tuning in if you lived anywhere south of Sunderland – I believe at some point, they were able to do a split programme for the north and south of the region – but even that was restricted to Hartlepool and Darlington!
It's interesting to note that, these days, if you go down to the job centre, "local" jobs means anywhere in the UK, not just where you live!
It was always presented by Roderick Griffith – funnily enough, I did a course in Surrey many years after Roderick Griffith retired from Tyne Tees – and, during a section on the course that involved job search, they screened a documentary – everybody seemed to think it was real – but the bloke conducting the interviews in the programme was none other than Roderick Griffith!
Tom D wrote 14 July 2021 at 9:43 pm
Roderick Griffith was a lovely man – met him twice for tv purposes, in different circumstances. A regional tv hero.
Andrew Robson wrote 30 November 2021 at 6:30 pm
One of the late Rod Griffith's more obscure claims to fame is that he was the inspiration for the character Roger Mellie (The Man On The Telly) in Viz magazine.
The quote below is from the book "Rude Kids: The Inside Story of Viz", written by the magazine's founder Chris Donald.
"Alfie Fox took us to the canteen at Tyne-Tees Television for a chat, but I spent the entire meeting listening to someone talking on an adjoining table. A local TV newsreader and continuity announcer by the name of Rod Griffiths was holding court with a group of colleagues, and he was swearing like a trooper. It was astounding to hear such a familiar voice coming out with such unfamiliar language, and I was mesmerized. When we left the meeting we were no closer to getting Viz on TV, but the seeds for a new cartoon character had just been sown."

Jovic ready to answer biggest demands at Real Madrid
Real Madrid and Serbia forward Luka Jovic discussed his start at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid's Luka Jovic - Getty Images
Luka Jovic said he is ready to answer the biggest demands at Real Madrid following a slow start to life in the Spanish capital.
Jovic – who scored 27 goals last season – is still settling in after joining Madrid from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt in a reported €60million deal.
An injury in pre-season set Jovic back, while the Serbia international is yet to score for the LaLiga giants in three appearances.
Jovic, though, did help set up a goal with a stunning flick in his first LaLiga start as Madrid drew 2-2 at Villarreal prior to the international break.
Asked about his start to the season with Madrid, the 21-year-old told reporters: "After the pre-season, of course it's getting better now.
"I was injured, it was that red card when I had to come off against Arsenal [in the first half of the International Champions Cup clash after Nacho Fernandez was sent off].
"It's not easy for one young player, but I think I handled it in the best way possible and I'm ready to answer the biggest demands."
Jovic fronted the media ahead of Serbia's Euro 2020 qualifying showdown against Portugal in Belgrade.
Serbia play host to Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Balkan nation third in Group B, six points behind leaders Ukraine and two clear of Saturday's visitors.
There will also be a new head coach on the sidelines after Ljubisa Tumbakovic replaced Mladen Krstajic, who was sacked after June's 4-1 rout of Lithuania following their 5-0 humiliation against Ukraine.
"As far as I know, we play 11 on 11, we don't just play against Ronaldo," Jovic said. "We will prepare for the whole team, not just Ronaldo.
"He is certainly their best individual, but they have many more interesting players who can make a problem. It will be necessary to be concentrated and disciplined as much as possible to achieve a positive result."

Last week I posted an opinion piece about the use of bounties in citizen science and how citizen scientists could be rewarded for performing certain data collection tasks. For example, earning a small amount of money for analyzing pollution in a set number of streams. Depending on how financially valuable the data is, companies such as mining companies or home developers could afford to pay for this data as part of their environmental permitting or remediation duties. Sadly that day is not yet here despite our efforts to create it. However, there are models for how they can be put together and today we look at an important one, the EPA's Volunteer Environmental Monitoring Programs.
To quote the EPA's web site, "Volunteer water monitors build community awareness of pollution problems, help identify and restore problem sites, become advocates for their watersheds and increase the amount of needed water quality information available on our waters." They receive training in pollution prevention, provide data for waters that may otherwise be unassessed, and increase the amount of water quality information available to decision makers at all levels of government. Additionally, "Among the uses of volunteer data are delineating and characterizing watersheds, screening for water quality problems, and measuring baseline conditions and trends." So it is the perfect opportunity for citizen scientists concerned about local water quality and the ecology of their neighborhoods. Training and equipment are provided by many of the chapters, as well as a full organizational infrastructure to coordinate everyone's work, ensure high quality data, and keep everyone motivated to see the project through.
If this sounds familiar it should; it is very similar to the Skywarn program run by the National Weather Service(which we'll be talking about much more next week). Like the Skywarn program, this is not just a single project but a collection of projects across the country. Large and small, each is devoted to monitoring wetlands and bodies of water in a certain geographic area. Technical and organizational assistance is sometimes provided by the government but the passion, and work, all come from a concerned citizen scientists. Many projects are also done in close coordination with State and local government agencies though this isn't always the case. These others evolve from the concerns of public citizens, interests of local firms, and mission of local non-profit organizations.
Visit the EPA's Volunteer Environmental Monitoring Program web page to get a basic overview of the program and what is expected of citizen scientist participants. You can also click on the Starting Out in Volunteer Water Monitoring web page for tips on joining a local project.
Click on the EPA's Directory of Volunteer Monitoring Programs to find a project in your state. Each one includes contact information and meeting times to help you get involved and attend your first meeting.
Once you have met up with a local group, or begun looking more deeply into water monitoring techniques, you may want to read up on the Guide to Quality Assurance Project Plans which provides information on the data you'll be collecting and the best techniques for ensuring it is of the highest quality.
That's all there is to it! I admit this one has less detail than other project descriptions, but that's only because every local project is different. Some are concerned with pH monitoring, some with tracing individual chemicals or harmful microbes, while others are concerned with fish surveys or remediation work. And the good view is there's something for everyone. So pull out your best galoshes, find a local group, get involved, make new friends, and be sure to have fun!

Historically, the town developed where two ancient thoroughfares crossed: Icknield Way and Ermine Street.
Visit the man-made Royston Cave dating from the 13th Century which may have been used by the Knights Templar. It is fashioned in the shape of a beehive with an opening the top for ventilation. It is most notable for its wall carvings which appear to be medieval. There are Masonic symbols indicating a possible link with Freemasonry. It might have been a spiritual centre, hermitage or a prison. Nobody knows!

The Steepwater Band: Live at the Double Door
Chicago blues rock power trio The Steepwater Band have performed nearly 1000 live shows since 1998, so it's about time for them to release a live album. Live at the Double Door captures them on stage in the Windy City, in a venue that has been good to them over the years, a home away from home. The May 22 show focuses on the songs that were recorded for their two most recent studio albums, Grace and Melody and Revelation Sunday. They do a great version of the Beatlesque All the Way to Nowhere, and Baby, You're On Your Own and Steel Sky are still packing a punch after being played hundreds of times. World Keeps Moving On is slower than the studio version, stretching the notes, and the vocals taking on an extra level of urgency - a red blooded example of heartfelt Chicago electric blues rock.
The CD version Live at the Double Door omits the 15 minutes plus Waiting to Be Offended - including it would have forced them to drop other songs from the set to make it fit on a single disc, but they kindly offer it as a free bonus download. With the live DVD Firepit Friday currently only being available through a German specialty label it is good to have another "in concert" document from a hard working band who depend on word-of-mouth to make ends meet. After being exposed to them, you will find that The Stars Look Good Tonight on your way home.
The Steepwater Band:
Jeff Massey: vocals, guitar
Tod Bowers: bass, backing vocals
Joe Winters: drums
Live at the Double Door is released on their own label Diamond Day Records. Buy it from the band's website.

I know this is way late but here's how my air racing career came to an end . . . First of all, why the decision made before the 2016 season started that it would be my last? It's very simple really . . . very early in my career, I made a promise to myself and to my family that, if ever the 'flame of passion' began to dwindle, I would stop operating high performance machines near the ground. I wanted always to be fully focused, highly motivated and on top of my game. To be in any other mindset would be to introduce unacceptable additional risk.
In the Red Bull Air Race, there's much pleasure to be had from simply being in the track. It's incredibly exhilarating! BUT . . even if you've flown well, it's not much fun if your posted time is not competitive. And when the wind picks up, it's a phenomenal challenge which can be exceptionally intimidating. Basic wisdom tells you that at some point in your life, you will want to take your foot off the accelerator . . . well, just a little! Your hunger to win will naturally decrease as will your desire to be involved in something that is very high risk. Allow this to be happen and complacency will surely creep up on you. I turned 60 halfway through last season and I never wanted to wake up one morning feeling apprehensive about going into the track. Raceday in Las Vegas was just the day for intimidating pilots! Friday's Free Practice in the wind was a wonderful challenge . . being in wild turbulence but never feeling anything other than being fully in control; Saturday's stronger wind put paid to Qualification and we woke up on Sunday morning with a forecast for even worse. And yet, I was up for it . . I had arrived at my last day of air racing without ever having frightened myself in any track flight and I was still keen to win the race.
Sadly, the track became unmanageable shortly after I took off as the second-last to fly. How the air gaters suffered that day! I flew for endurance in the holding pattern whilst they grappled with the pylons in the hope of a lull in the wind. I ran low on fuel, landed, refuelled and went back to the hold. As I watched the mayhem continue with pylons literally being plucked from the track and I could see the effects of the wind much further afield, it was tough to stay focused. I had plenty of fuel to last beyond sunset and the low sun had become an additional factor . . not only would I be amongst the pylons in mega turbulence but the sun would be behind Gate 1 on one critical pass. But I was still up for it though in hindsight, it was probably a good thing that the race was cancelled; it would have been very sad if I'd given myself a fright on the very last of my nearly one thousand track flights!! In the end, getting back down onto the narrow speedway track with the gusty, powerful cross-wind and obstacles to deliver the MXS unscathed to its new owner, Mika Brageot, was something of a relief! The season did not go anything like I had hoped or planned but I am happy to have ended my career still feeling 'on top of my game' and second on the podium in Indianapolis, the last race of 2016 to be completed.
I have many people to thank for my wonderful journey in air racing; my family and my team for making the successes and accompanying euphoria possible (and for putting up with me during the lows!); to Breitling for their unwavering support since I started racing in 2005 and to all those in the Red Bull Air Race who make it all happen; not least, the air gaters!
Thankyou all for the kind words and the momentos after my last flight but, more than that, for the priceless memories.

La sangrecita es un plato típico de la gastronomía peruana.

Descripción
La sangrecita es un guiso que se elabora con sangre de pollo y ocasionalmente con sangre de cerdo. Se fríe con especias como el orégano y la hierbabuena y se mezcla con cebollita china.

Suele consumirse para desayunar o como merienda (conocida en Perú como lonche), o combinándola con otros platos típicos de un buffet criollo. Se acompaña con yucas sancochadas.

Existe una variante en la región de Piura que se realiza con sangre de gallina, cabrito o pavo, y se le añade tomate y ají amarillo.

Debido a su alto contenido en hierro, la sangrecita, y productos derivados, es utilizada tradicionalmente para paliar la anemia.

Who Aided Flint When the Chips Were Down?
By Chloe Anagnos Tuesday, October 31, 2017
Daily Economy News
Located 66 miles northwest of Detriot, Flint was once the largest single manufacturing complex of General Motors in the country. When the GM plants closed in the 1980s and early 1990s, it left the city with a lackluster economy and population.
After the Great Recession, Michigan experienced a major drop in the private sector and a spike in state-government jobs.
In 2011, the state of Michigan took over Flint's finances after an audit projected a $25 million deficit. Even though Flint's water supply fund was $9 million in the red, officials were using some of this money to cover shortfalls in its general fund. The city switched water sources in 2014 in an effort to save money and used the Flint River during a two-year transition while a pipe was being built to connect Flint with Lake Huron.
The events following this transition made headlines around the world.
On August 14, 2014, the city announced that fecal coliform bacterium was detected in the water supply, prompting a boil-water advisory on the west side of the city — and that was just the tip of the iceberg.
For the next year, Flint residents had little to no access to clean water, as contaminants reached levels high enough to be considered hazardous waste by the Environmental Protection Agency.
To make matters worse, documents proved that Michigan officials knew about the problems in the water supply more than a year before official notice was given to Flint citizens.
This negligence caused an outbreak of 87 cases of Legionnaires' disease, a form of pneumonia, and 10 deaths between June 2014 and November 2015, along with a 58 percent uptick in fetal deaths.
In times of natural disasters and other crises, most think first to turn to their governments for help, but Flint was ignored by local, state, and national governments and relied heavily on the private sector to reverse the damage.
For example, private companies like Walmart, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, and PepsiCo distributed 6.5 million bottles of water to Flint school children in 2016 compared to the 4.2 million given by the city.
This occurred while the government was still charging residents for water that they couldn't safely use without a filter.
Colorado resident, 11-year-old Gitanjali Rao, was so troubled by these events that she developed a device that could identify lead compounds in water and was portable and relatively inexpensive.
Her device earned her a $25,000 check from the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge that she plans to use partially for college and to invest in her device to make it commercially viable and to save lives.
Celebrities like Cher, Jimmy Fallon, and Bruno Mars pledged millions of dollars to aid those impacted by the water crisis. These are just some examples of the hundreds of companies, organizations, and individuals who have used innovation, charity, and free-market principles to take care of the basic needs for others without the interference and incompetence of big government.

"You know, I spent so much of my life misunderstood. What will they say about me now? What will I have left behind?"
―Rush Clovis to Padmé Amidala[src]
Baron Rush Clovis was a human male politician from the planet Scipio. Once a member of the Galactic Senate, Clovis worked closely with Senator Padmé Amidala early in her career. The two were romantically linked, until she insisted they return their relationship to a strictly professional level. With regret, Clovis respected her wishes. He continued to serve his people in the Senate, and became an influential representative of the InterGalactic Banking Clan. When the Clone Wars erupted, Clovis secretly betrayed the Galactic Republic to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Biography Edit
Early career Edit
Clovis' father was an advisor to a Muun banker. After his father died in a shuttle accident, Clovis was adopted by the Muun, who treated him as his own child.[2] He eventually entered galactic politics and became the Senator of Scipio. During his time in the Galactic Republic Senate, he grew close to Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo[4]. However, Amidala chose to end her relationship with him.[3]
Clone Wars Edit
Clovis in the Senate
Senator Clovis during the Clone Wars secretly conspired with Trade Federation Senator Lott Dod and Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser to rebuild a droid foundry on Geonosis in exchange for the profits it would yield. However, the Jedi Council suspected that he was dealing with the Separatists and asked Senator Amidala to spy on Clovis and uncover his plans.[3]
Clovis then met Amidala for lunch and asked her to come with him to Cato Neimoidia to speak to her diplomatic contacts among the Neimoidians. They both went to Cato Neimoidia aboard her star skiff accompanied by Captain Gregar Typho, R2-D2 and Anakin Skywalker disguised as her pilot. After they landed, Clovis and Amidala were greeted by Lott Dod. Clovis showed Dod and Poggle a disk containing the coordinates to the new droid foundry. He told them that it was the largest ever built and that it would bring great profits to them; but Poggle and Dod demanded a greater share of the profits for the risks they took. He refused to comply and went to Senator Amidala. He gave her a tour, telling her of some private investments.
Clovis catches Amidala as she passes out after being poisoned by Lott Dod.
Clovis was then embraced by Amidala who told him that she was glad to be there with him, and fainted. He realized that she had been poisoned and he confronted Dod about this, but Dod assured him that she was a Republic spy. Clovis refused to believe it, until he saw that Amidala had stolen his disk. He later confronted her, but she told him that she did it for the Republic. Skywalker came in to protect her. Clovis told him that Dod poisoned her. At first, Skywalker wanted to negotiate with Dod, but Clovis said that Dod would kill him if he found out about the disk. Clovis ultimately decided to get Amidala to her ship. However, Dod refused to let them leave. Clovis threatened to kill Dod unless he gave him the antidote. After Dod had given him the antidote, Clovis and Skywalker got Amidala to the ship. Clovis asked for the disk but Skywalker refused, leaving him behind.[4]
Clovis speaks with Count Dooku
Clovis worked with Amidala again when she came to Scipio for a loan from the InterGalactic Banking Clan. He was able to convince Amidala (with the aid of Dooku) to help him in exposing the Banking Clan's corruption to the Senate.[5] The Core Five were removed from power, and Clovis was selected to head the Banking Clan. [6] In return for his favor, Count Dooku forced Clovis to raise interest rates on Republic loans, causing outrage in the Senate. A Separatist invasion of Scipio ensued (framed as a Clovis-endorsed takeover), followed by immediate Republic retaliation led by Anakin Skywalker. During the battle, a downed Vulture droid crashed into Clovis' office containing Anakin, Padmé, and Clovis. Sliding down the rooftop, Anakin was able to catch both Rush and Padmé before falling off the edge. Anakin was only strong enough to hold one person and, recognizing this, Clovis let go of Anakin and subsequently fell to his death. [2]

We are one of four ICF/DD group homes in Stark County; part of Empowering People, Inc which purchased the group homes December 1, 2011. In total there are 21 beds split between four homes: Sturbridge Home, Strausser Home, Deborah Home and Carnegie Home.
Sturbridge home is fully accessible and home to six Individuals of varying abilities and strengths. Regular excursions into our neighborhood and surrounding community are really important to us, especially community dances and Special Olympics.


At the beginning of August we wrote an article regarding Jackie Glazier and her new contract with 888Poker, and we also told you that her first public appearance for her new team would be at the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) in France. Well her first appearance could not have gone any better as she took the first bracelet at this years WSOPE when she claimed the WSOPE Ladies' Event and with it her first coveted World Series bracelet.
It has been an eventful 18 months for Glazier and her followers, but now she finally has a WSOP bracelet to show for her efforts after coming close in the past. At last years WSOP she was runner-up in Event 41, a 2nd place finish that saw her pocket $458,996, and this year she was the last woman standing in the Main Event, a 31st placed finish that saw her take home $229,281. While the payouts are great in years to come nobody remembers the losers only the winners, so Glazier is delighted to have taken the step to the winners circle and claim her first ever WSOP bracelet.
Glazier entered the heads-up battle with Maryline Valente with a slight advantage, but with both players having at least 100 big blinds to their name play was expected to go on for a number of hours. It did not and the end came when Valente went all in with a pair of 6's which Glazier was quick to call with a pair of Jacks. The flop of AQ4 was no help, and when the five of diamonds was revealed on the turn only a six could save Valente. It never came and Glazier was crowned the champion, and she took home the spoils and her first ever WSOPE title after a number of near misses in the past.

Corpus Christi tries to ensure that all pupils attend school for the maximum number of days possible. Obviously, if children are not in school, they cannot develop their educational potential.
Again, good attendance can only be achieved through a partnership between parents and teachers.
In particular, we ask parents not to arrange family holidays during term time. We appreciate that costs are considerably lower during school weeks but this cannot be a justification for depriving pupils of vital schooling.
To encourage good attendance, every form is monitored weekly and every child is monitored almost daily to identify areas of concern. Letters of commendation every half-term are sent to parents of children who have achieved 100% attendance in the preceding half-term. Similarly, letters are sent to parents of pupils whose attendance has fallen below 95%. Prizes are also given every half-term to the form in each year group with the best attendance.
Some practical points
Extended periods of unauthorised absences are reported to the Education Welfare Officer and any absence that is condoned by parents may result in corrective action on the part of the Local Education Authority.
If a pupil is likely, for whatever justifiable reason, to miss more than two days of schooling, parents are asked to notify the school in writing. This courtesy avoids an unnecessary home visit by the Education Welfare Officer.
Just a reminder that pupil absences should be reported to the school before 9.00am on the first day of non-attendance.
In relevant cases a medical certificate may need to be forwarded to the school.
All absences, authorised and unauthorised, are reported to parents at the time of the annual report
Fixed Penalty Notices & Absences From School
If your child is absent from school for any reason, for example, a medical appointment or illness, an absence note or medical appointment card will need to be given to the school explaining the reason for the absence. If an absence note or appointment card is not provided, the absence will be treated as 'unauthorised' and could result in a Fixed Penalty Notice being issued.
In some circumstances, the school may request that the Educational Welfare Service issue parents/carers with a Fixed Penalty Notice under The Education (Penalty Notices) (Wales) Regulations 2013. A warning letter will first be sent if:
There have been a minimum of 10 unauthorised sessions (5 school days) in an academic year (these do not need to be consecutive).
Pupils persistently arrive after the close of the registration period i.e. more than 10 sessions in an academic year (these do not need to be consecutive).
A period of absence from school due to a holiday that was not authorised by school (a minimum of 10 sessions).
Parents/carers have failed to engage in attempts to improve attendance;
A pupil has regularly come to the attention of the Police during school hours and is absent from school without an acceptable reason and there have been 10 unauthorised absences.
A Fixed Penalty Notice will be issued if:
There is one further unauthorised absence within 15 school days of a warning letter having been issued;
An unauthorised holiday is taken during term time (note that no warning letter will be received).
Holidays during Term Time
Absences may only be approved by authorised representatives of the school. Corpus Christi Catholic High School exercises caution in the authorisation of absence and parents must seek to provide the school with a full picture of the reasons leading to their child's absence.
The Education (Pupil Registration) (Wales) Regulations 2010 give schools discretionary power to grant leave for the purpose of a family holiday during term time. Parents do not have an automatic right to withdraw their child from school for a holiday and, in law, have to apply for permission from the school in advance. Holidays during term time will not be authorised.
If there are exceptional circumstances, these can be put before the Governors who have the authority to make the decision NOT to issue a Fixed Penalty Notice.

Bob Plager 2TIM MOORE2021-03-25T16:42:02+00:00
Bobby Plager, who was a player, coach and long-time associate with the St. Louis Blues, was killed Wednesday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 40 (Interstate 64), reports confirm. He was 78.
The accident reportedly occurred about 1:30 p.m, sending shock waves through the Blues family and his longtime fans. Plager played 11 years and 615 games with the team, and worked for decades more as one of the best-known figures in the organization. Plager was inducted into the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame in 2014.
No immediate details of the crash were available, but reports say that Plager, who was driving a Cadillac SUV, was involved in the accident with a woman driving a Dodge minivan on Highway 40 under the Tower Grove Avenue overpass. The woman reportedly suffered injuries.
"He has personally impacted countless Blues fans," Blues owner Tom Stillman said in a statement. "Most can remember the first time they met Bobby, with a story about the early years and an endless supply of jokes. Fans immediately embrace him and he wholeheartedly returned that embrace. He is the ultimate Blue."
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bobby Jr., Melissa and the entire Plager family," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said.
"Truly one of a kind," said Bernie Federko, another longtime member of the Blues who was Plager's close friend. "He's a big reason the St. Louis Blues are such a special franchise to play for. He's a true Blue who personifies what the Note really means."
"Number 5 in your program, Number 1 in your hearts" was Plager's self-proclaimed motto. He came to the Blues from the New York Rangers in 1967 and spent 10 seasons on defense before turning to coaching and scouting. He spent 50-plus seasons with the Blues, the longest continuous tenure of anyone in the organization.
He was universally loved by the hockey-crazed fans who filled the St. Louis Arena in the late 1960s and early 1970s. His no-holds-barred play delighted fans.
Plager, was an original member of the 1967 expansion Blues, went on to play with his brothers, Barclay and Billy, with the team. After retiring in 1978, he joined the Blues' front office, serving in many capacities, holding titles of vice president, assistant general manager, director of player development and player personnel. He also had a brief stint as head coach of the team in 1992
Plager grew up in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and joined the Blues as a 21-year-old for their inaugural 1967-68 season. Known affectionately as "Mr. Blue," he was known for his hip checks and physical style of play. He recorded 20 goals 141 points and 762 penalty minutes in 615 games.
Throughout his association with the Blues, Plager was also known for his humor, constantly telling funny stories and keeping his huge fandom in stitches. He was the unofficial ambassador of the Blues, routinely made appearances in the community as ambassador of the team.
Through the years, the team's ownership changed several times, but Plager was the one constant that ran through every team, every season. The Blues retired his No. 5 jersey in 2017, and it joined his brother Barclay's No. 8 in the rafters.
