Chemistry Lost a Hero. Tribute to François Diederich
September 24, 2020
Prof. François Diederich passed away on September 23, 2020, after a battle with cancer. He was a brilliant scientist ahead of his time and a leader in several fields. His contributions shaped Organic Chemistry, Supramolecular Chemistry, and Medicinal Chemistry.
He was also a wonderful mentor and a great human being. His enthusiasm for science and life was contagious and inspired generations of young scientists. He mentored 147 Ph.D. students and over 100 postdocs; his legacy will prevail forever.
His passion for science was endless, even during his last days. It was an honor publishing with him his last work, which appeared in the 50th issue of Chemistry-A European Journal on September 4, 2020.
Thank you for all your lessons, support, and mentoring. Goodbye, François, we will dearly miss you!

Earlier this month Ecoxotic teased us with a promising new LED, the E Series striplights with integrated reflectors, multicolor, multichannel control and remote controllability. While Ecoxotic had a strip on their ReefStock table, we didn't get a taste of the E Series in action until we got to see ORA's booth at Global Pet Expo in Orlando.
With just two four foot strip of the E Series ORA's captive grown corals and captive bred fish were super bangin' with colors and vibrance that could catch your attention from several aisles over. It was astounding to see such an amazingly good color rendition over a reef tank in action with superb fidelity to the colors of the fish and the corals – both the chromatic pigments of the fish and the fluorescent colors of the corals were well represented.
Bear in mind, this is Ecoxotic's daylight version of the E-Series which will likely be followed up my a more marine striplight populated by cooler whites and more discrete blue LEDs. Currently the E Series doesn't have any discrete blue LED and the only blue light is coming through the white LEDs and included in the RGBW section of the chips.
If Ecoxotic can really nail the blue led selection for their inevitable Marine E Series version of this light it will be possible to mix and match the daylight and blue E Series lights to get the best of of both worlds in terms of color and growth, not to mention the tunable colors that will come with them.


What makes for great expressions? Happy kids! So how is happiness defined around the world?
Many studies have been written about kids' happiness. According to the UNICEF most recent survey, Dutch kids ranked as the happiest kids in the world. The research is based on material well-being, education well-being, behavior and risks. As a no surprise it also shows that the happiness of the parents contributes greatly to the result.
I wanted to experiment myself how you can capture "great expressions" from kids around the world. At first it was a random approach, watching the kids interact with each other. Then, I started to think about scenarios where the behavior could be compared. Each scene became repeatable (to a certain extent), where the kids would be "portrayed first in a formal pose" and then let loose so they could express themselves.
The first part of this project is based in Asia. I visited many classrooms, playgrounds, "homeschools" and even took advantage of school trips. Teachers, parents, school superintendents were all very helpful to give me "free reign".
The living and educational environment might not be ideal, but I found one common trend: The kids' excitement to be part of this project is contagious.
Enjoy these candid shots of kids around the world!

Do you write a lot of little C++ programs that consist of only one
source file? But

1. you don't want to keep typing long compilation commands to specify
   include paths, dependencies, preprocessor switches, etc?
2. you also don't want to write a Makefile or shell script to overcome point 1,
   as the source is a single file only?

Then BOB may be of interest. It allows you to store build information
at the start of the source file, which BOB then parses to construct and
execute the compilation command. It supports dependencies based on pkg-config,
or the legacy way of specifying include directories, library directories
and libraries to link manually.

## Usage

The header of your source file is scanned for lines starting with ```/// ``` (note
the space at the end). These lines can contain the following directives:

    /// packagedir       <dir>                   (<dir>/lib/pkgconfig is searched)'
    /// usepackage       <pkgname>'
    /// legacydir        <dir>                   (adds <dir>/include and <dir>/lib)'
    /// legacyincludedir <dir>'
    /// legacylibrarydir <dir>'
    /// uselibrary       <libname>'
    /// rpath            <dir>                   (extra rpath to use)'
    /// target           executable|sharedlib'
    /// outputfile       <filename>'
    /// cflags           <flags>                 (may contain `<expr>`)'
    /// lflags           <flags>                 (may contain `<expr>`)'

## Example

See included example-opengl.cpp

    $ bob -n  example-opengl.cpp
    DRY RUN, WOULD EXECUTE:
    ['g++', '-O2', '-D_GNU_SOURCE=1', '-D_REENTRANT', '-I/usr/include/SDL', '-o', 'example-opengl', 'example-opengl.cpp', '-lSDL', '-lGL']
    $ bob example-opengl.cpp
    $ ./example-opengl
    Screen resolution: 2560 x 1600
    Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
    Renderer: GeForce GTX 560 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
    Version: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 319.49
    GLSL version: 4.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
    ...

## Command-line options

    Usage: bob [options] <source-file>

    Options:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -n, --dry-run         Don't actually do anything, just print command line to
                            execute
      -v, --verbose         Verbose output
      -r, --no-rpath        Don't set rpath in executable (default: do set rpath)
      -O OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL, --optimization-level=OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL
                            Optimization level, i.e. -O<value> (default: 2%)
      -g, --debug           Include debug information (default: no debug
                            information)
      -u ENABLED_SWITCHES, --use=ENABLED_SWITCHES
                            Turns the given switch on, always overrides switch
                            directive in source

## Switches

There's also rudimentary support for different build configurations, using binary "switches":

    /// switch           <name> 0|1              (0|1 value specifies the default)'
    /// {<conditional>}  directive ...           (note: <conditional> is eval()ed!)'

Switch names can only contain upper-case letters and numbers. For every enabled switch
a ```-DUSE_<switch>``` is included in the compile command, which can be used
in the source file.

### Example

See the included example-switch.cpp:

    /// switch READLINE 0
    /// {READLINE} uselibrary readline

    #include <cstdio>
    #ifdef USE_READLINE
    #include <readline/readline.h>
    #endif

    int main()
    {
    #ifdef USE_READLINE
        char *input = readline("What's your name? ");
        printf("Hi there, %s!\n", input);
    #else
        printf("Hi John Doe!\n");
    #endif
    }

    $ ./bob example-switch.cpp
    $ ./example-switch
    Hi John Doe!
    $ ./bob -u READLINE example-switch.cpp
    $ ./example-switch
    What's your name? Paul
    Hi there, Paul!

"Christmas in the Koran : Luxenberg, Syriac, and the Near Eastern and Judeo-Christian Background of Islam" édité par Ibn Warraq (Août 2014)
Publié par Mehdi Azaiez | jeudi 28 août 2014 | Mis à jour le vendredi 3 octobre 2014
Christmas in the Koran : Luxenberg, Syriac, and the Near Eastern and Judeo-Christian Background of Islam, éd. Ibn Warraq, New-York, Prometheus Books, 2014, 805 p. ISBN 978-1616149376
Centering on the pioneering work of Christoph Luxenberg, this anthology of scholarly yet accessible studies of the Koran makes a convincing case that Islam's holy book borrowed heavily from Christian texts in Syriac and other Near Eastern sources.
In this important compilation, Ibn Warraq focuses on the pioneering work in Syriac and Arabic linguistics of Christoph Luxenberg, a native speaker of Arabic who lives in the West and writes under a pseudonym. Luxenberg's careful studies of the Koran are significant for many reasons. First, he has clarified numerous obscurities in the Koran by treating the confusing passages as poor translations into Arabic of original Syriac texts. He demonstrates that when one translates the difficult Arabic words back into Syriac, the meaning becomes clear. Beyond textual clarity, Luxenberg's scholarship provides ample evidence that the Koran developed from a Judeo-Christian background, since Syriac (a dialect of Aramaic) was the main language of both Jews and Christians in the Middle East before the advent of Islam.
Ibn Warraq supplies English translations of key articles by Luxenberg that originally appeared in German and have never before been available to an English readership. This is followed by commentary by other scholars on Luxenberg's work. Also included are articles by earlier specialists who anticipated the later insights of Luxenberg, and more recent scholarship inspired by his methodology.

One of my friends recently told me they sort bullets by both weight and length of their bearing surface (the part of the bullet that comes in contact with the barrel, illustrated below). I hadn't thought of that before, but you could see how variations in the bearing surface length obviously impact the amount of barrel friction on the bullet and therefore cause variations in muzzle velocity.
For virtually all of my precision shooting I use Berger bullets, and I wondered if there was even any measurable variation in their bearing surface because their quality control is so much tighter than other bullet makers. So I measured the bearing surface on over 150 bullets, and here are the results I found.
There is a measurable difference … larger than I originally expected. You can decide whether this is significant or not. I know people who claim that it is, and although I am currently still sorting bullets by bearing length I'm not sure if it is statistically significant. Essentially I've found a standard deviation of 0.00073″, which is 0.1% of the bearing surface length. I wouldn't think 1/10th of a percent could have enough of an effect on barrel friction to result in any measurable effect on muzzle velocity … but I can't prove that, so the decision is up to you. I would expect bullets that weren't match-grade may show higher variance in bearing surface length.
Some people measure bearing surface differently. A lot of people just measure from the bullet base to ogive, which is essentially the bearing surface if it is a flat base bullet. However, with boat tail bullets that isn't the bearing surface. You actually have to attach two bullet comparators to a caliper so that it measures from the start of the bearing surface on the rear/bottom of the bullet, instead of the base of the bullet.
So here is the setup I use to measure bullet bearing surface length. It is essentially two Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparators of the same caliber attached to a caliper. You need to ensure they are precisely aligned for repeatable measurements.
R U still doing this to Berger bullets ? Measure it with a 2×4, mark it with a grease pencil and cut it with an axe.
Now, about that wind reading video tutorial !
Ha! Funny you should ask. Obviously I'm having an epiphany moment with my "How Much Does It Matter?" series of posts. It's a pretty major shift for me personally, which has taken some time and convincing … but I think I have a better handle now on the biggest reasons my bullets don't connect with their intended target at long range … and it isn't bullet bearing surface variation! It's 99% wind calling ability. And I'm now 100% focused getting better at that these days. When I get it whipped, maybe I'll come back to details like this … if I'm not in a nursing home by that point!
I will say I actually stopped doing this when I switched to my 6XC. At that point I started using Berger's outstanding 105gr Hybrid bullets. At first, I sat down to sort them by weight and bearing surface, just like I'd been doing for years on my 7mm Rem Mag … but after that first exercise I noticed I really just had one pile of bullets in front of me. The consistency of those bullets was A LOT better than the Hunting VLD bullets I was used to, so I decided to just pull them out of the box and seat them. Maybe I got a good batch, but luckily I bought 5000 bullets from that batch! So it will be a while before I know. So, no … I don't do any of this on my 6XC, and that's what I've been shooting almost exclusively these days. Great cartridge and great rifle! Hard to reach for anything else when I open my safe door!

Indie Filmmakers Look for Lifeline from Piracy with CASE Act
Written by Stanley B. Gill
April 19, 2020 (Updated: February 6, 2022)
"Crazy Bitches" (2014) [Courtesy Crazy Bitches]
This is a typical indie-filmmaker piracy story.
Indie filmmakers Jane Clark and Bob Tourtellotte, owners of FilmMcQueen Productions, recount their horror story of piracy on "Crazy Bitches" (2014) in this Variety article.
Independent filmmakers make a low-budget movie only to be raped by pirates.
As much as indie filmmakers try, without the deep pockets and corporate studio team work of shutting-down these pirate sites, there is just about no way to win the war of piracy. I really feel for the filmmakers as I have had several filmmaking friends experience just the same, yet they never had resources to fight the piracy.
The CASE Act is bad law to begin with. It is clear the trial lawyers' lobby is involved behind-the-scenes, because of the limit of $30,000 in damages, which is non-contestable after-hearing at an administrative board. That ain't even a reals court. Just a desk, a few chairs, and some lacky lawyer who calls themselves The Judge. Oh, except in class action lawsuits, the rules change. Funny, isn't it?
Here is what the CASE Act is supposed to do:
This bill creates the Copyright Claims Board, a body within the U.S. Copyright Office, to decide copyright disputes. Damages awarded by the board are capped at $30,000.
Participation in board proceedings is voluntary with an opt-out procedure for defendants, and parties may choose instead to have a dispute heard in court. If the parties agree to have their dispute heard by the board, they shall forego the right to be heard before a court and the right to a jury trial. Board proceedings shall have no effect on class actions.
The board shall be authorized to hear copyright infringement claims, actions for a declaration of noninfringement, claims that a party knowingly sent false takedown notices, and related counterclaims.
The bill provides for various procedures, including with respect to requests for information from the other party and requests for the board to reconsider a decision.
The board may issue monetary awards based on actual or statutory damages.
The parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs except where there is bad faith misconduct.
A board's final determination precludes relitigating the claims in court or at the board. Parties may challenge a board decision in federal district court only if (1) the decision was a result of fraud, corruption, or other misconduct; (2) the board exceeded its authority or failed to render a final determination; or (3) in a default ruling or failure to prosecute, the default or failure was excusable.
I doubt this law will ever make it out of the Senate where it sits as of this date. America is a dumpster fire right now and Congress set it.
The sad thing I do know from my 37-years in this industry are the No. 1 pirates of movies, wait for it… live and work in Hollywood. Yep. I have seen pirates all my career. They feel entitled because they did not create the work which they pirated. They feel entitled because they "work" in the industry. They have a "backstage pass."
I know friends of mine, who do not work in the industry, who pirate content. And, see no issue with stealing from filmmakers.
I know friends of mine, who work in the industry, who pirate content. And, see no issue with stealing from filmmakers.
The No. 1 excuse, which is never told to me directly, is, "F! the man in Hollywood." Or, some words to that effect.
Until there is a death penalty attached to piracy, such as these filmmakers have experienced, this CASE Act won't do much, if anything.
– Stan

Harry meets Daventry Mayor Lynn Taylor at the charity day.
The Ladies' Section at Daventry & District Golf Club swung into action to help a severely disabled toddler from Newnham.
They held a successful charity day in aid of the Helping Harry Trust, a trust set up to support Harry Charlesworth.
His mother Hayley said club captains Julie and Peter Phillips found out about Harry and his difficulties at the start of the year and have been very keen to show their support.
Gathering together in aid of Harry, the clubhouse was transformed into a festive bazaar as a host of local businesses pitched up stalls to sell items including bags and jewellery, Christmas decorations and beauty products.
The tombola and Coffee Shop also proved extremely popular with the visitors.
Daventry Mayor Lynn Taylor attended the event and was very pleased to meet little Harry and his parents Hayley and Andrew Charlesworth.
People are putting on their walking boots on December 30 for a 10k walk across some beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. £15 minimum sponsorship or donation. Starting and finishing at The Windmill Inn in Badby, with breakfast included at the end. To sign up or for more information please email Hayley at thehelpingharrytrust@gmail.com or search for The Helping Harry Trust on facebook.


The Scenic Sip Trail " Perfect Pinots"
"The Scenic Sip group of six wineries decided to join together to promote key events and to work together to help differentiate this special area from the rest of the winemaking regions. Vineyard sites exhibit a diversity of microclimates where some vineyard blocks are uniquely positioned on spectacular benches of land."
With rolling vineyards stretching to the shores of Okanagan Lake this is where the "heartbreak" grape thrives with award-winning significance. A popular destination for wine lovers is Gray Monk Estate Winery, one of the valley's original wine estates that has evolved in depth and character to resemble the grand style of a European chateau. Wine stops offer resplendent valley views and a myriad of choices from the historic Gray Monk winery to the contemporary architectural presence of relative newcomer wineries such as 50th Parallel Estate Winery, Arrowleaf Cellars, and ExNihilo Vineyards.

Thank you Chair.
I wish to speak about Item C, the petition about the shelter at the Merri- Merri Dog Off-Leash Park at Chapel Hill.
I'm pleased to report that this is a story with a happy ending. But it could have easily gone the other way.
This is democracy at its best and shows how Council's petition system is meant to work. It's been a win for "people power".
But to get the outcome, it ultimately needed Council to listen and respond and I thank the Schrinner Administration for doing exactly that and acting in the best interests of those we represent.
Let me start by painting a brief picture about this particular Dog Off Leash Park.
Because of its location, Merri-Merri is arguably the most popular Dog Off Leash Park in the Pullenvale Ward. It's that good that even my son's very particular French Bulldog, Basil loves it.
It's one of those wonderful community meeting places where locals congregate in numbers and make it a social occasion while their dogs do what dogs do in an off-leash park.
But not everyone will ever be happy.
Enter a local resident who lives close to the Park, who I'll call X.
Despite the fact that he purchased his property after the Dog Park was established, it's fair to assume X doesn't like dogs, nor does it appear that he likes seeing people enjoying themselves.
So X went out of his way to make life as uncomfortable as he could for the Chapel Hill dog-loving community.
It started with loud heavy metal music but when that didn't deter them, it was replaced with a different type of metal, that being the sound of a chainsaw being pumped out through an amplifier.
Enter the candidate.
Early into the election campaign, I was invited to attend a meeting of disgruntled dog owners at the Park.
They had been told that X was pressuring Council to have the dog shelter relocated to another part of the park where, when it rained ever so slightly, it became a creek.
As a candidate there was nothing I could do to intervene, but I promised that if elected, we would sort it out.
But we needed to buy time and the only way we could do that was to encourage "people power" and submit a petition to Council.
That the residents did and in numbers, and the rest was history.
Upon being elected as the Pullenvale Ward Councillor, I contacted the chief petitioner, Rob Murdoch and told him that I would deliver on my commitment.
Mr. Chair, I want to acknowledge our Western Suburbs Assets team, and in particular Parks Manager, Shane Klepper, who was fantastic in helping me achieve an outcome that the majority supported.
We looked at the existing decaying shelter and it came down to a choice of upgrading it, building a new one in its place or building a new one in another section of the park.
I consulted the local community but before we made the final decision, I door-knocked X to let him know what we were thinking. While he conceded what we had in mind was better than where the shelter was currently located, his preference was still "out of sight, out of mind", in the path of the creek.
The happy ending I mentioned earlier is that the dog lovers of Chapel Hill love their new shelter which is further away from X's residence.
At their invitation, I joined them one Friday afternoon recently to celebrate the end of the journey. What I didn't expect was the ambush from X, the spotlight in the face and the abusive language.
As local representatives, we've all been there, but the reward is achieving the right outcome and one that the community knows was made in their best interests.
Mr Chair, it goes without saying this outcome is "paw-fect" for the dogs and the local residents are no longer "up the creek".

Investigators are searching for two people who they believe stole a package off of a front porch in Clive.

In some beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership and is known as the "first helper". Arrows usually signify direction of travel, force and movement. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked.


Various new performance evaluation indices for impact have been proposed and studied in various contexts. This study carried out a quantitative evaluation of the case of Malaysian engineering researchers at the micro level using a scientometric approach. In order to understand the behavior of new developments, a comparative performance evaluation is carried out of h-index, a set of h-type indices along with publication and citation metrics. Findings are compared with earlier major studies. We looked for institutional h-index and researchers' h-index scores and did not find any relationship. Exploratory Factor Analysis is employed to examine the valid categorization and to study the underlying dimensions of the studied metrics and indices. The inter-correlation among h-index, its variants, and traditional metrics is probed in detail. The h, q and g-indices along with publication and citation hold the position on 'quantity of the productive core', while the R index showed equal loading on both cores. For the case of Malaysian engineering researchers, two conspicuous findings are observed about the total citation and g-index. These have association with the first component named as 'quantity of the productive core.' Our findings strengthen the point that citation count has a strong association with the 'quantity of the productive core' and cannot be used as sole impact evaluation measure.

Episode 711 - Battle-Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!
As Ash gets ready for his Gym battle against the Nimbasa City Gym Leader Elesa, he sits on the bed with Pikachu to plan out what Pokémon he is going to use. As Iris and Cilan look on, Iris comments that Ash has been working on his strategy for awhile. Cilan says that it may be unusual for Ash, but planning out a strategies for a Gym battle is a good thing. Ash remembers that Zebstrika's Electric Type moves won't have much effect on Pikachu, since he is also an Electric Type. Ash says that Pikachu's Electric Type moves won't have much effect on Zebstrika either. Ash decides that he wants to give his other Pokémon a chance to battle, because he has relied on Pikachu, Tepig, and Oshawott a lot recently. Ash calls Professor Juniper and switches some of the Pokémon he has with ones from the lab.
Ash and his friends ride the roller coaster inside of the Gym while screaming, all of the way to the battlefield. Ash leaves Pikachu with Cilan and Iris and says that it's not Pikachu's turn to battle. Iris tells Pikachu that they should all cheer for Ash together. Pikachu walks to Cilan and Iris with a very sad look on his face. As Ash enters the battlefield, a spotlight shines on Elesa, as she sparkles. Elesa waves to her fans in the stands as they cheer her on. She says to them to watch the battle and to make sure to become dizzy during it. Ash takes off his hat and bows to Elesa with respect prior to the beginning of the battle. Elesa calls the battle is a magnificent show, and that she will shine more than Ash will during it, and make his radiance disappear. The referee says that it will be a 3-on-3 battle, and that only Ash may substitute Pokémon during the battle. Iris wonders what Ash's strategy is going to be, as Pikachu and Axew cheer Ash on. Elesa says that she will make everyone dizzy with their shining light flashes, as a colorful pink background with hearts is shown while she is talking. The crowd cheers even louder for her.
Elesa brings out Zebstrika for battle, as Iris reminds Cilan that it took down all of Bianca's Pokémon, and that it is a powerful Electric Type. Ash brings out Palpitoad for battle, as Elesa says that it isn't beautiful but he did think it through. Iris says that since Palpitoad is part Ground Type, Electric Type moves won't work on it. Palpitoad uses Mud Shot, while Zebstrika dodges the attack. Zebstrika uses Flame Charge, which sends Palpitoad flying and onto the ground. Palpitoad was not harmed much by the attack. Iris comments that Fire Type moves like Flame Charge aren't very effective on Water Type Pokémon. Zebstrika uses Flame Charge again, which sends Palpitoad flying and onto the ground. Once again Palpitoad was not harmed much by the attack. Iris wonders why Zebstrika continues to use Flame Charge, since it has very little effect on Water Type Pokémon. Cilan tells her that Elesa is trying to do something different with her strategy.
Palpitoad uses Hydro Pump, while Zebstrika dodges the attack. Iris comments that Zebstrika becomes faster the more it uses Flame Charge. Zebstrika uses Double Kick, while Palpitoad dodges both kicks. Zebstrika uses Double Kick again, while Palpitoad is able to dodge one kick, but is sent flying and to the ground by the second kick. Pikachu continues to cheer Palpitoad on. When Palpitoad gets back up, it looks very dizzy from being kicked. Elesa says that Palpitoad may not be able to take many more attacks, no matter how tough it is. Zebstrika uses Quick Attack which hits Palpitoad, as Zebstrika has a disgusted look on its face after hitting Palpitoad. Palpitoad is still able to get back up after taking the hit. Palpitoad uses Supersonic to confuse Zebstrika. Cilan calls it an excellent counterattack, as Pikachu and Axew continue cheering Palpitoad on. Palpitoad uses Mud Shot which hits Zebstrika's face, and then uses Hydro Pump to send it into the wall which knocks it out.
Palpitoad looks worn out after defeating Zebstrika, as Elesa tells Zebstrika that it looks beautiful even when covered in mud. The crowd cries after Zebstrika gets knocked out. Iris says that it is amazing that Palpitoad was able to defeat Zebstrika, even though Zebstrika defeated all of Bianca's Pokémon. Cilan says that since Ash used Tepig, Zebstrika couldn't use Wild Charge. Axew and Pikachu continue to cheer on Ash. Iris is surprised that Ash is sticking with Palpitoad. Elesa says that right now Ash is shining so much that it is making her dizzy, and that she will be making Ash dizzy next. Elesa brings out her Emolga for battle, as Iris comments that Emolga is an Electric/Flying Type. Palpitoad tries to use Supersonic, but Emolga uses Acrobatics which makes it dizzy, and then is hit by the attack. Ash commands Palpitoad to use Supersonic, but Emolga uses Attract first to infatuate Palpitoad. Elesa says to Ash that she told him that she would make it dizzy. Ash says that even though Palpitoad is dizzy, Emolga still can't use its Electric attacks. Elesa tells Ash that Emolga can use more than just Electric Type moves. Emolga uses Aerial Ace to knock out Palpitoad. Ash is very shocked as he says that Palpitoad was supposed to turn the Gym battle into a perfect victory. Ash recalls Palpitoad to its Poké ball with a disgusted look on his face. Cilan, Iris, Pikachu, and Axew are shocked that it was his strategy all along.
Ash thinks about what Pokémon he will use next, as the referee tells him that he must choose his next Pokémon or else she will consider it a forfeit. Ash tells Elesa to wait for him, as he runs out of the Gym. While the others are bored, Ash returns with another Poké ball that he got from Professor Juniper. Elesa asks Ash if Palpitoad was all he he had ready for the Gym battle. Ash laughs nervously, as Elesa realizes that is exactly what happened. Ash brings out Snivy for battle. Emolga uses Attract, while Snivy also uses Attract. Iris, Cilan, Pikachu, and Axew are all shocked that they are both using Attract. Both Attract attacks hit, but neither Pokémon becomes infatuated. Palpitoad is revealed to be a male, since Emolga and Snivy are both females. Elesa asks Ash if his Snivy is female, and Ash suddenly realizes that he forgot about that. Everyone is shocked that Ash forgot about that. Iris comments that they've gone over the fact that Attract doesn't work on two Pokémon of the same gender many times. Cilan remarks that it's just like Ash to forget that. Ash comments that Electric Type moves have very little effect on Grass Type Pokémon. Elesa reminds him that Emolga is also a Flying Type as well, as Ash remembers that Flying Type moves are super-effective against Grass Types. As Ash said that, he was in complete shock about that information.
Ash tells Snivy to use Vine Whip before being attacked by Emolga's moves. Snivy uses Vine Whip, but Emolga dodges the attack. Snivy uses Leaf Blade twice in a row, but again Emolga dodges the attacks. Snivy uses Leaf Storm as it hits Emolga, but it doesn't do much damage on her. Emolga uses Acrobatics which hits Snivy, as Cilan remarks that it's the worst possible match up. Pikachu is getting charged up about the battle. Emolga uses Acrobatics again, which really hurts Snivy. Pikachu becomes so charged up, that he unleashes a Thunderbolt, which knocks Axew backwards. Cilan remarks that Pikachu must be very agitated watching Ash battle. Pikachu looks embarrassed after doing that. Elesa says that Snivy must be very tough to take so many attacks. As Snivy looks exhausted, Emolga knocks her out by using Aerial Ace.
After the Attack hits, Pikachu's frustration shows again as he uses Thunderbolt. Elesa acknowledges the crowd, as they cheer Emolga's victory. Cilan comments that Pikachu became agitated again. Iris asks Pikachu if he is alright, as steam is shown coming out of his head and he looks a bit dazed and dizzy. Ash thinks hard about what his last Pokémon should be, as Pikachu looks on. Ash comments that he doesn't have any Pokémon that are strong against Electric/Flying Types, as the referee tells him that if he doesn't hurry up then he will be disqualified. Pikachu looks displeased as Ash still doesn't know what to do. Ash keeps pondering and pondering what to do, as Pikachu's frustration builds. Pikachu's frustration builds up so much that he uses Thunderbolt on Ash.
Pikachu yells at Ash to choose him. The referee tells Ash to hurry up and choose his next Pokémon. Ash says that he was wrong about needing to use his head and think of a strategy. Ash says that he forgot that battles are fought together with the Pokémon, and that he can't do anything by himself. Ash says to Pikachu to lend him his power and that they should do it together, as Pikachu is happy and jumps on Ash's arm. Cilan remarks that accepting a Pokémon's invitation instead of using strategy sounds more like the Ash that they know. Iris says that two Electric type Pokémon going up against each other may not be very effective, but willpower will determine who wins.
Ash chooses Pikachu to battle next. Pikachu uses Electro Ball and Emolga also uses Electro Ball, as both attacks collide creating an explosion. Elesa says that they are both even. Pikachu uses Quick Attack to send Emolga into the wall, while knocking it out. Elesa tells Emolga that she shined so much that she was blinded, as Elesa returns Emolga to her Poké ball. Elesa says to Ash that they are shining beautifully and that it is making her dizzy. As Elesa is shown in a sparkly background, she says that she must shine more than Ash and Pikachu are. A fan in the crowd comments that Ash has made Elesa serious. Another fan comments that Elesa may bring out a Pokémon that she only uses at certain times. The fans say that maybe they will see a strong Elesa today, as Cilan and Iris are listening in on what they are saying. Cilan says that Elesa may confront Ash with a powerful Pokémon. Elesa brings out Tynamo as her final Pokémon as she names it her Pokémon Queen. As Tynamo comes out, a spotlight shines on her. Everyone is surprised that the little Tynamo is Elesa's strongest Pokémon. Ash is disappointed that it wasn't a powerful Pokémon, as he scans her with his Pokédex. Ash says that even if it doesn't seem strong, they have to keep their guard up.
Tynamo uses a fast and strong Tackle to send Pikachu into the wall, as Ash is surprised by how strong it is. Tynamo laughs, as Pikachu is able to squeeze itself out of the wall. Tynamo uses tackle, while Pikachu dodges but Tynamo disappears. Pikachu looks up and sees Tynamo, as she uses Tackle on his head to put him into the ground. Pikachu becomes stuck in the hole, as Tynamo continues to hit Pikachu with Tackle. Cilan comments that Tynamo has incredible speed, as Iris says that it can't be dodged. Pikachu squeezes out of the hole, as Elesa comments that he is trying very hard. Cilan wonders how they will be able to deal with Tynamo's speed. Elesa commands Tynamo to use tackle, as she prepares to use Tackle. Pikachu and Ash look at each other, as Ash remembers that there is something they can do about Tynamo's speed. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt all across the field, creating explosions of smoke. The crowd is confused as to what they are doing. Iris comments that Electric type moves won't do much on Tynamo. Cilan tells Iris that Ash's goal is something completely different. Elesa comments that Pikachu and Ash's hearts are one right now, but wonders why they are hitting the field with Thunderbolt. As the smoke clears, there is a clear pathway between Tynamo and Pikachu. Elesa comments that the only thing they can do is attack Pikachu from the front. Tynamo uses Tackle towards Pikachu, as Elesa tries to stop her from attacking. Once Tynamo gets close enough, Pikachu uses Iron Tail to send it into the wall and knocking it out.
Ash wins the battle, as Pikachu jumps into his arms to hug and celebrate the victory. Elesa tells Tynamo that it isn't her fault that they lost and that she was sparkly and shining. Elesa congratulates Ash on the victory, as she says that she was the one that was forgetting things. She says that he made her remember that what is needed in battle isn't just beauty, but also the bond between the heart of trainers and their Pokémon. Ash says that Pikachu taught him something as well. Elesa says that Ash and Pikachu's compatibility is perfect, and that her heart was moved so much that it made her dizzy. Elesa presents Ash with the Bolt badge, as Ash and his Pokémon jump in celebration.
Ash puts his fourth badge in his badge case, as Iris says that she was dizzy and nervous wondering what would happen. Elesa asks Ash which town he is headed to next, as Ash says that he hasn't decided yet. Elesa suggests to Ash that he should go to Driftveil City next, which is just passed the Driftveil Bridge. Ash ties to leave, but Elesa remember that the drawbridge is still being prepared and that he cannot cross it. Elesa suggests that they stay in Nimbasa City until it is repaired.

Long, flat shaft that widens at center then tapers down to hollow square ward projecting from lower end of shaft at right angle. Small, knob-like shaft tip curls down and outward to the side opposite the ward. The ward would have received a rod or tie to function as a clasp to close the lid of a box or chest. At the opposite end from the ward, the shaft terminates in a small rectangular plate that is pierced and preserves a bit or iron (?) wire or cord. This would have attached the clasp to the lid of the box or chest.

Zentis, the fruit and preserves firm, has announced plans to take full control of chocolate spread maker Peeters over the coming years.
The German jam maker said it had increased its stake in Peeters in July from 37 to 50%, and intended to acquire 100% of the shares in the business by January 2021. The move would fully integrate Peeters, which markets the Penotti chocolate spread brand, as a Zentis subsidiary company.
Zentis and Peeters have been working as partners since 2016, when the latter began manufacturing the former's Belmandel and Nusspli brands of chocolate and nut butters at its production site in Rosendaal, Netherlands.
Zentis said that, having strengthened its interest in Peeters, it now intended to immediately boost its activities in the chocolate spread and nut butter categories, targeting B2B as well as B2C channels. The deal will ultimately make the combined business one of Europe's top three manufacturers of chocolate spread, the firm added.

On Cue: Nene H
NeneH-Header.jpg
Having trained as a classical pianist as a child in Turkey, before becoming a successful techno artist in Berlin, Nene H has been on a lifelong journey to free herself of cultural and musical traditions. Alongside a high-velocity techno mix recorded for the On Cue series, she chats to Sophie McNulty about her journey so far, and how on her new album — a tribute to her late father — she's gone full circle, putting her heritage at the core of her work

djmag · On Cue: Nene H
Against Berlin's bleak grey palette, the sun is blazing through the windows of Beste Aydin's top floor apartment. A heatwave has been sizzling in the city for days, but as the temperature drops slightly, Aydin invites us to meet indoors. "I can't wait to see what you have for me," she beams, perched cross-legged on a rattan vintage-style chair, with a sense of uncapped playfulness: "Let's go for it!"
Aydin performs and makes music as Nene H. The persona is a shortened version of a previous alias, Nene Hatun; named after a female freedom fighter from her native Turkey. "It's like I've been fighting for my musical freedom throughout this whole electronic music project," she says. As Nene Hatun, she released EPs through labels like Seagrave, Bedouin Records and Eotrax, before making the switch over to Nene H; in 2018, she started her live project, which began to get her noticed in wider electronic music circles.
That year, she was approached by SHAPE, a European platform, who invited her to be part of their 2018 roster; every year, SHAPE curates a new line-up of innovative audio-visual artists. With their connections to 16 worldwide festivals and arts centres, including Terraforma and Unsound, Aydin's residency with them meant one, important thing — the chance to perform internationally. "All these festivals started booking me all of a sudden," she remembers.
Since then, Aydin has been constantly working and moving forward, DJing every weekend and developing her live shows midweek. She's performed at noted experimental festivals Berlin Atonal and CTM: her 2019 performance for the latter, at Berghain, was staged with The National Choir of Georgia, Ensemble Basiani; it was a formative moment, as whiplash techno productions were veiled with Christian vocal chants. On her harder techno side, she's released a string of EPs through imprints like SPFDJ's Intrepid Skin, Kyiv-based Standard Deviation and Parisian outlet Possession.
Born into a Turkish Muslim family, Beste was surrounded by traditional forms of music from childhood: "Everybody played accordion and I grew up dancing a lot, listening and participating in traditional music." It was through an elderly lady, a friend of her grandparents, that she discovered the piano, which led her into the world of classical music.
"I would go there and play by ear," Aydin says, of her elderly friend and teacher. "She also gave me some notes and I would decode them a bit. She always said I was super talented and that I should do something with music. It became my only love."
At just 11 years old, Aydin was accepted into the Izmir State Conservatory, to train as a classical pianist: "From there on, piano became a real passion. I was practising all the time, being very on it." Her studies proved formative, too — with such an intense work ethic expected of her, she felt the pressure to be great. "They could basically throw you out every year, because it's still early enough for you to go and do something else," she remembers, of the school's attitude towards their young students. "You have to be super on it!"
Throughout all of this, her father played a pivotal role in her young musical life. "Coming from a Turkish family, it's not typical for a father to allow you to dream, and being from a Muslim family, the girls are usually very protected, but my father had such an open mind," she says. "He never had much money, but when I got into the Conservatory, he would buy me these cheap, classical music CDs and books. He'd bring them to me to open my horizons and to show me that he was interested. He was super interested, always."
NenH-Feat-2.jpg
Aydin's father's side of the family are from Azerbaijan, and were immigrants to Turkey. "They ran away from war, so they had a lot of traumas, but they still made things happen for themselves. All of them studied, they are in good places." Her mother's side of the family are from a little village in the Black Sea region.
"My mom wasn't allowed to study and her parents were very protective. They were very Muslim and traditional," she remembers. Aydin impresses on us how supportive both her parents have been of her: "My mom and dad were always like best friends... They have always been amazing at following my things."
After leaving the Izmir State Conservatory, Aydin moved to Stuttgart in 2007 to take the next step in her classical studies. She's lived in Germany ever since, but it hasn't been easy. "When studying here as a Turkish girl, there was a little bit of racism and a lot of sexism," she says. The classical world that she's become so invested in left her wanting more, too. "I didn't feel like I belonged in classical music, and I realised that this very elitist thing didn't fit my character. At some point, I saw that I wasn't going to please people, and that I wasn't prepared to work eight hours a day, every day, just to play one concert."
Still, she knew music was her path. When she opted to take composition lessons as part of her degree, she started dabbling in experimental electronic forms; six years later, after toughing out her studies, her curiosity for electronic music led her to Berlin.
"I came here to Berlin, to be among all of this!" she laughs, about the club scene. "I was 26 years old when I discovered this world, and people usually find it when they're teenagers. It was crazy to me!"
"I would always go to Berghain when the female DJs would play," she continues. "It didn't matter if it was upstairs in Panorama Bar or downstairs in the main club, I always wanted to get inspired by them. There were all these different genres I was getting interested in, and I was going to check out more specific names, looking at how they mix and stuff; it became very nerdy."
Despite all of this fresh inspiration on her doorstep, Aydin didn't jump straight into electronic production right away. "The classical part of me was a burden, my brain is so analytical," she says. "I'd go to a party and I'd be standing there thinking, 'Okay, this is a minor, okay, this is a...' — you can't really get rid of that way of thinking about music."
There was also the personal and social expectation of wanting to make her studies work for her. Aydin credits her inner nerd as her saving grace and that despite the pressure, she's proud of what she's achieved since leaving Turkey. "I would have never come this far, mentally, if I lived in Turkey all my life. I would probably be sitting with three kids right now."
NeneH-Feat-1.jpg
In 2019, Aydin's beloved father passed away, after a heart attack and three month-long coma. He was just 55 years old. Her debut album, 'Ali يلع', released this July through the Incensio label, is a tribute to him; charting the period leading up to his death, and her later, ongoing process of mourning. During her father's coma, Aydin was trying to manage her duty of care to him, while answering to work and music. "While he was in a coma, I was still playing techno and going to clubs. I was going to the Intensive Care Unit to be with him then flying out for gigs, coming back to Turkey every week. It was very complicated, but I felt like I had to keep going."
Across the album, Aydin touches on the core, cultural elements of her life. There's the traditional instrumentation she was brought up with, woven into a trap-style swagger on tracks like 'Lament'. She also layers her vocals into her beats, in two different languages: her native Turkish, on 'Rau', and her second language, German, on 'Reue'.
"I want to be daring. Sometimes the biggest thing for me is accepting it's not always going to be good. Everybody waits so long just to bring something out; especially as women, we have to think about things 10 times more," she continues. "We're always waiting for the perfect track to come but, honestly, it might never come! Now, I try to be less in my head and just jump into things."
Regardless of how far she's travelled, physically and emotionally, Aydin's discography and live performances are permeated with her connections to her memories of, and love for, the people and cultures of Eastern Europe. "There's a lot of stigma and wrong ideas about our cultures," she insists.
"In the past, I tried to fade and fit in, but now I'm like, 'This is what you get'. I can't change," she reasons, "and I want people from these regions to be represented. We are always trying to erase ourselves. We look to the West as the right way to be, and we can be hateful about our cultures. With my music and performances, I don't want to just serve the privileged, hedonistic culture [of Western dance music]. I want to keep my culture at my core."

Sacrifice and Satisfaction: Interview with Steam Crow's Daniel Davis
by Sarah Yoon | Jun 2, 2015 | Storytelling Articles | 0 comments
Interview by Karyn Keene
Steam Crow co-founder Daniel Davis reveals the sacrifice and the satisfaction of creating art for a living. His steampunk inspired shop makes "Good Monster Goods," such as kawaii ghost art prints and curly mustache pins. Read on to discover how artists of all ages can succeed with a little bit of luck and a lot of patience.
Can you tell me about Steam Crow and the parts you each play in running it?
Steam Crow is our personal brand. Basically, it's the creative pop-culture creations of Dawna and I. I'm the prime illustrator/designer, though everything I do is critiqued and plussed by Dawna. She makes my work stronger. I tend to be our overall creative and operations lead, as well.
Dawna is our prime sewist, making plushies, aprons and our display cloth. She's also our convention packer, Con Operations lead and shipping dept. Together we plan what we're wanting to do, and we both do production stuff like screenprinting, taxes, and studio organization.
You mentioned that it took about ten years to get Steam Crow off the ground. What was that journey like?
It's been a whole lot of work. Most artists feel like if they refine their craft enough, they'll be deserving of a great art career. In this point in time, it's not true for most of us. We started from zero, and started to "bless" fans one at a time. ("Blessing" is what we call welcoming, connecting, and treating our fans (the "Crows") with our thanks and goodwill.)
Like anything, it was really exciting at first. I had the most positive feedback about my work in one day of our first convention, than I'd ever had my whole life. We failed at our first shows to turn a profit, but by the end of the first year, we were in the black.
Goblin Boy was 3 when we started, so Dawna took up most of the slack, so that I'd have lots of time to work. I figured that if I worked as hard as possible, I'd be able to work full-time for Steam Crow after 3 years. This was really optimistic, and ultimately impossible. After some despair, we went back to work and got back to making the work that we like to see—building the kind of life that we're trying to lead.
Daniel had mentioned he interviewed a lot of successful artists as you were starting out. What did they have to say and how did you learn from them?
It was pretty simple, and was basically this: "You see where I'm at? You're seeing me after 10 years of work. How long have you been working on Steam Crow?" I bashfully said "three years", and they just nodded knowingly.
It's a tough thing to have faith in yourself, when things are rough or not going as well as you'd like. It's a gamble, as who really can say whether or not your creations are successful both creatively, and commercially. (Because we're really talking about commercial success here.) I appreciated what they told me, as it made me work harder.
Did you have to make some sacrifices along the way?
Yeah, we have. We've sacrificed having a really nicely decorated home, like most of our 40-something friends are making now. We don't really take vacations. We don't have days off, at least not often. Free time is rare. Our home-studio is filled to the gills with product. Running this thing is often really stressful. We usually only see our friends at events. Hobbies have had to be rolled into the business, or left behind.
I could go on, but why depress everyone? 🙂 Thing is, all of my friends who are doing this are pretty much in the same boat. So, it's reassuring at least to know that we're not totally crazy.
How did you know what sacrifices were acceptable?
I can't really say. I mean, the work has to get done, somehow. To get to be an artist for a living, making your own work, not doing freelance, and being your own boss, it's something that has to be earned. We get to draw cartoon monsters for a living. How crazy/lucky is that?!
Would it be great to take more vacations, hang out with friends more, and have a fancy house. But we wanted to live a creative life on our own terms, a bit more.
Were they any sacrifices you knew you would be unwilling to make?
Sure. Goblin Boy is a priority. So is our relationship. We knew that if this was just "Daniel Davis Art Inc." it would ultimately tear us apart. We knew that we needed to do this together, to be all in. Balance isn't easy. Fact: I'm terrible at it. Dawna is better, though she's obsessive about making stuff as much as I am.
In a world where things move so quickly, how did you find the patience to wait for your dream to become a reality?
I'm not terribly patient, but we knew that our dream job was right there, right in front of us. We just had to keep working, keep treating people right, and keep making work that is authentically US – and we can see that it was working. It was never as fast as we'd like, but momentum builds. The real payoff is when folks are excited about what we're creating. That's fuel to keep on going.
What would you say to someone who thinks they are too old to start a new business or be a successful artist?
We started Steam Crow when I was 35, which felt old at the time. It really motivated me to work on stuff that mattered (stuff I wanted to draw instead of freelance), and toss aside shortcuts (like doing bootleg art).
Remember that older artists have power too: You have all of these great life-experiences and mature skills to draw from. USE ALL OF THEM. You probably have more patience and focus than younger folks, too. Art is something that you can keep doing the older that you get. You get better the more you do it. You're not too old, so stop worrying about it, and focus instead on making more art.
How have you balanced being successful artists and raising your son Goblin Boy?
It isn't easy. We try to give him as much time as we can, and make it as fun and focused as we can. We feel guilty that we can't spend all the time with him, hanging out and having fun.
He's on the road a lot with us when we're on tour, and he's in online school, so we get to spend most days with him ALL DAY LONG. So, that's pretty great. We're spending more time with him now then we did when we had full-time jobs with a big commute.

Many Social Activists and Celebrities Voicing out Against Rape Threats to Dhoni's Daughter Ziva
Sivaranjani Soundararaj (Author) Published Date : Oct 10, 2020 17:35 IST
Dhoni Daughter Ziva
A young man has sexually harassed captain Dhoni's 5-year-old daughter Ziva on a social networking site, claiming that it exposed Chennai's weak performance in the IPL match against Kolkata (KKR).
Many are posting on social media that Dhoni's five-year-old daughter Ziva Dhoni will be sexually abused as the Chennai Super Kings did not play well in the IPL.
The Chennai Super Kings have been consistently playing poorly in this series. CSK won the first match against Mumbai. It was followed by three consecutive defeats.
Despite getting off to a good start in the KKR match by CSK, they were bowled out by the chaotic performance of the middle order batsmen. Mahendra Singh Dhoni also showed poor play in this match.
In this context, some people on social networking sites are abusively posting on Dhoni's Instagram pages that they will sexually abuse Dhoni's five - year - old daughter Ziva if he does not play properly in further matches.
Various parties have expressed their anger and dissatisfaction on social media in this regard. The hashtag #ziva is also trending in India.
Former India captain Irfan Pathan has taken to his Twitter page to condemn such an abusive comment. In it, "All the players give their best, sometimes it just doesn't work, but it doesn't give anyone any authority to give a threat to a young child". Earlier, Dhoni's wife Sakshi was also threatened on social media.
MP Priyanka Chaturvedi took it seriously to her social page, stating, "This has to be the most disgusting example of how social media platforms are being misused.
Suppose the Government of India still turns a blind eye to this. In that case, I'd say they are complicit in promoting and condoning such mentality with regards to women and sick, perverse mentality".
Despite all, many social activists plus celebrities voice out for the brutality of some Indian minds, which mainly use masculinity as a weapon irrespective of zero consideration in terms of kindness.

During my 8-month stint working at my friend Veeektor's dispensary in Silverlake, I met all kinds of characters. Not surprising, considering the place was on Sunset Blvd., at the corner of Hipsterville and the Barrio. It was here at the Sunset Junction Organic Medicine dispensary that I decided to finally put my Amerijuanica idea into action. It had been more than 5 years—somewhere around 2003, no later than spring of 2004—since I had the idea to research, write and publish a Studs Turkel/Working-type book of stories about marijuana. Candid cannabis conversations in the words of users—and non-users. In May of 2004 I was even telling my future wife about the idea when we first met. (Molly claims she came up with the Amerijuanica name. I'm 99.9% sure I'd already come up with it before I met her. We respectfully disagree and agree to remain in newlyweded bliss.) By the time I began working at the dispensary, no forward progress had been made on the book. But now we figured, hey...let's turn these conversations into a podcast. More than 5 years later, here we are. Posting our 1st podcasts. Thanks largely to the many conversations I had with people like Teddy, whose story you really should hear on episode #3 of Amerijuanica. And not just because he survived a gunshot wound to the head and delivers green herbal medicine to the elderly in South Central. You should listen to him because Teddy is a master storyteller—even if you might not agree with what's coming out of his mouth.

Q: Converting Object Promise to String in Javascript I'm working with React, Next.Js, semantic-ui-react and Solidity. It is my goal to print out the users address (from MetaMask) and a ProjectTitle (set by User) as meta infomation for a semantic-ui-react card. To print out the address in the 'header' is working, but I'm not able to print out the ProjectTitle as 'meta'. The Title should be a String but I'm receiving a Object Promise.
static async getInitialProps() {
    const projects = await factory.methods.getDeployedProjects().call();
    return {
        projects
    };
}

async getProjectTitle(address) {
    let title;
    try {
        title = await factory.methods.projectTitle(address).call();
    } catch (err) {
        console.log('err');
    }
    return title;
}

renderProjects() {
    const items = this.props.projects.map(address => {
        return {
            header: address,
            color: 'green',
            description: (
                <Link route={`/projects/${address}`}>
                    View Project
                </Link>
            ),
            **meta: this.getProjectTitle(address)**,
            fluid: true,
            style: { overflowWrap: 'break-word' }
        };
    }, );
    return <Card.Group items={items} />
}

Part of the Solidity Contract:
address[] public deployedProjects;
mapping(address => string) public projectTitle;

function createProject(string startup, string title, string deadline, string description, uint wage) public {
    address newProject = new Project(startup, title, deadline, description, wage, msg.sender);
    projectTitle[newProject] = title;
    deployedProjects.push(newProject);
}

function getDeployedProjects() public view returns (address[]) {
    return (
        deployedProjects
    );
}

The basic framework is from the Udemy Course "Ethereum and Solidity: The Complete Developer's Guide" by Stephen Grider.

A: There is no direct way to convert an Object Promise into a String.
The only way to continue processing is to call an await function or use .then() and a callback function.

Burstall Grange Hotel (Burstall Hotel)
last updated Jun 1st, 2020.
Closed: approx 1975
off Church Hill
Burstall Cottage (shown in the 1882 OS map below) is roughly where the most southerly part of the Grange stood. The picture in our gallery was taken from south-east of the building, whose long axis ran north-south.
Originally only licensed to serve alcohol to residents and diners, the Grange only got a full publican's license on February 12th 1973.
The Gramge was burned down and rebuilt several times. It was used at one time (possibly in the 1960s) as a hotel for USAF personnel from Bentwaters. It was demolished some time after 1969 and replaced by a small estate of "luxury" houses.
It appeared on the 1969 OS map as the Burstall Hotel.

We arrived in England in December of 1968 and were placed in the Burstal Hotel until my parents rented a house in Felixstowe in the spring of '69.Dad was stationed at RAF Woodbridge. RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge were twin bases, with RAF Woodbridge being the operations base and RAF Bentwaters the "crash" base. Most of the amenities for the families were on Bentwaters, but Woodbridge hosted the Junior High School. from Frederick Reinders Spokane WA, USA
