Gunnar Gunnarsson was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1918, 1921, 1922 and 1955. He came close to receiving the coveted award when he was nominated in 1955. The Nobel Committee (composed of the Academy's secretary and two other members) recommended that the prizes should be shared between the Icelandic authors Gunnar Gunnarsson and Halldór Laxness.
Nobel Prize nominations
However, it is not unanimous for the committee's proposals to be successful. Another option of the 1955 committee was for the Belgian Baie to receive the award or Spanish author Jiménez. Then the third member gave a special opinion that Halldór Laxness should receive them alone. After much debate and voting that was the proposal favored by academy.
Gunnar & Germany
One of the biggest markets for European writers in the first half of the 20th century was the German-speaking part of Europe. Gunnar saw this opportunity, and as early as 1913 he had hired a German translator to translate his work.
His stories began to appear in German newspapers and magazines from 1914. Regular publishing of his books in Germany, however, didn´t begin until 1927 and soon gained considerable popularity.
By the end of the 1940s, Gunnar was one of the Nordic authors whom the new rulers of the third state approved and hampered. Under the auspices of the established Nordic cultural society, Die Nordische Gesellschaft, which the Nazis founded in 1933, Gunnar was invited to hold lectures and his books were sold in large editions. Gunnar was awarded an honorary doctorate at the University of Heidelberg in 1936 and was awarded the Heinrich Steffens Prize in 1937. His last trip to Germany under the auspices of the Nordic Company was in the first half of 1940. He then traveled all the way from Skriðuklaustur and had readings in 40 cities. At the end of the journey he met Hitler and is the only Icelander known to have met him. Gunnar did not return to Germany until after the war.
Scandinavianism
Gunnar Gunnarsson was supporter of the unification of the Nordic countries into one democracy during the interwar years. This ideal was rooted in Scandinavianism in the 19th century and was found mainly among students in the Nordic countries in the early part of the 20th century.
Gunnar went widely and spoke about this, especially during student meetings in the 1930s. Many of those lectures can be found in the book Det Nordiske Rige which he published in 1928. At this time Gunnar was sure there would be conflict between the old superpowers in Europe sooner rather than later. He believed that the united Nordic countries would be better able to resist the allegiance of the superpowers than in each of them.
Gunnar found little basis for this ideal among officials, while student associations in Norway, Sweden and Denmark were competing to offer him change to hold his lecture.

John 1:47 Behold an Israelite indeed,
Upon meeting Nathaniel Batholomew
John 1:47 Ἴδε ἀληθῶς Ἰσραηλείτης ἐν ᾧ δόλος οὐκ ἔστιν.
Look, actually an Israelite in whom deceit does not exist.
Deceit is more common the honesty.
John 1:47 Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John 1:47 Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.
This line is phrased like a joke about how deceitful most of his fellow countrymen are. The joke is hidden because the word order is changed and the key setup word is translated as the clunky "indeed." Final word is "exist." The actual word order is "Look, really, an Israelite in whom deceit does not exist."
Ἴδε [166 verses](verb 2nd sg aor imperat act) "Behold" is eido which means "to see," "to examine," "to perceive," "to behold," "to know how to do," "to see with the mind's eye," and "to know.
ἀληθῶς [8 verses](adv) "Indeed" is alethos, which means "unconcealed," "so true," "real," "true," [as an adverb] "actually," "really," "realizing itself," "coming to fulfillment," "not forgetting," and "careful." --

ᾧ (pron sg masc dat) This" is hos, which means "this," "that," "he," "she," "which," "what," "who," "whosoever," "where," "for which reason," and many similar meanings.
δόλος [3 verses]( noun sg masc nom ) "Guile" is from dolos, which means "bait," "a cunning contrivance," "treachery," "trick," and "stratagem."
οὐκ (partic) "Not" is ou ( οὒ ) which is the negative adverb for facts and statements, negating both single words and sentences. The other negative adverb, μή applies to will and thought; οὐ denies, μή rejects; οὐ is absolute, μή relative; οὐ objective, μή subjective.
ἔστιν (3rd sg pres ind act) "Is" is eimi, which means "to be," "to exist," "to be the case," of circumstance and events "to happen," and "is possible."
Behold -- "Behold" is a verbal command meaning "See!" and "Look!" It is from the most common word meaning "to see" in Greek. In a humorous vein, it is also an adverbial exclamation like we use the phrase "tah-dah" in a magic show, or "voila" in French. "Look!" or "See!" comes closest in English. Jesus uses it both ways.
an -- There is no indefinite article in Greek, but when a word doesn't have a definite article, the indefinite article can be added in English translation.
Israelite - The Greek word is the source of the English word, but originally from Hebrew. The Greek word is spelled the same as the English but with Greek noun endings. Jesus only uses this word once.
indeed, -- (CW) "Indeed" means "unconcealed," "so true," "real," "true," [as an adverb] "actually," "really." It is a Greek adverb not commonly used by Jesus in the other Synoptic Gospels. Luke it to replace the Aramaic word amen ("truly").

whom -- The word translated as "whom" is a demonstrative pronoun ("this" "that"), but it often acts as a pronoun ("the one that), especially a connective pronoun ("the one that") introducing a dependent clause.
is -- The verb "is" here is the common form of "to be" in Greek. It means to have a certain characteristic or remain in a certain condition. It also equates terms or assigns characteristics
no -- The Greek word translated as "not" is the Greek negative used to deny objective facts, not opinions. It means "no," "not," or"no truly." It makes a negative statement of fact.
guile! -- "Deceit" is a noun that means "bait," "a cunning contrivance," "treachery," "trick," and "stratagem." It is only used in two other places by Jesus.

Valladolid enjoys a level first against Villarreal and Celta and Espanyol test their doubts
MADRID, August 12 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Valladolid start this Saturday (19:00 CET) at home against dangerous Villarreal in the First Division with hardly any reinforcements, while Celta Espanyol host in Balaídos (17:00 CET) in a duel in which both teams compete against their respective projects with certain doubts after the preparation of a new season.
This Saturday, Valladolid will start its 46th season in the First Division after being relegated to 2020-2021. And he will do it against an ambitious Villarreal after last year's good season, especially in Europe, and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
A tough nut for those from Pacheta who will have to hide behind the balance and solvency that Zorrilla will give them, somewhat helpless due to the delicate loss of striker Shon Weissman, one of the heroes of promotion with his 20 league goals. who will not return until at least September. However, the technician was "very excited and full of expectations" for the premiere. "Villarreal are a great team, although they also have cracks," he commented on his rival, whom he has not beaten at home since 2014.
Sergio León or Sekou Gassama will struggle to replace Weissman, with Gonzalo Plata, who missed a couple of preseason appearances, being a great offensive reference against Villarreal. With the announcement of Mickael Malsa this Friday as the last reinforcement, the eleven have further doubts, for example whether Asenjo will start at the expense of Masip. At the back, with sole right-back Luis Pérez as the sole fixture, Joaquí and Javi Sánchez will be fighting for a position. Aguado, Roque Mesa and Iván Sánchez would form in midfield.
For their part, Villarreal begins a season of consolidation this Saturday after last season's great run. Therefore, the challenge will be enormous if they want to reach or even improve on the bar shown in 21-22. With few reinforcements this summer and waiting for tight signings, those from Castellón will return to last year's recipe, with goals from Gerard Moreno, Parejo's balance and the hope that new talent will emerge from the "Groguet" quarry.
And one of the upcoming topics will be the guest version of 'Yellow Submarine' as he signed one of the worst records away from home last year. Moreover, the Basque manager will also have to struggle with statistics as he has not won the first day of LaLiga Santander since 2011 when he beat Racing Club with Valencia 4-3. Emery can't count on Danjuma – the team's top scorer last year with 16 goals – Trigueros and Femenía, who have been signed for this summer market.
CELTA AND ESPANYOL SOLVE THEIR GARTER CURTAIN IN A DUEL WITH DOUBTS
The first game of the day on Saturday is Celta-Espanyol, a duel in which both teams will examine their respective doubts after the preparation that neither of them emerged happy from. The Galicians started the league without a win last season, with the exception of the Quinocho Memorial, where they beat Saudi Al Shabab 6-0 against an Aspas side who remain the best.
The sky blue team, who finished in the middle of the table last year, start the new season with the aim of making the list of candidates for Europe. Thus, they were reinforced with eight footballers – Carles Pérez, Swedberg, Luca de la Torre, Óscar Rodríguez, Unai Núñez, Marchesín, Mingueza and Paciencia – in addition to the renewal of Iago Aspas.
For their part, the Catalan team added just two wins in their six summer tests. Diego Martínez opens in an official match on the 'Perico' bench and revealed in the preview that they will fight for goals 'to the end' as if it were 'a matter of faith'.
Espanyol have not won at Balaídos since the 2006/07 season. With all the noise surrounding "RDT," the blue and whites' big hope will be Joselu. New signings Vilhena, Expósito, Lecomte, Vinicius or Brian Oliván could have their chance.

SyFy's new series, 12 Monkeys, premiered this week, and they made the second episode available through Video-On-Demand. It's apparent, very quickly, that the showrunners decided to make several things quite different from the movie on which it was based. Not that it's hurt the series any, though some things do change the tone.
I loved the film, and have found the series to be good so far. I just wanted to make some notes about things I've noticed to be different thus far.
In the film, there was a certain amount of ambiguouty that allowed for the characters and the audience to wonder if James Cole really was a time traveller, or if he was insane, until at least halfway through the movie. The series very quickly established that James Cole he had to be a time traveller.
In the film, the timeline is static--Cole could not make any changes to prevent the plague that nearly wiped out the human race, he was sent back to collect a sample of the original, pure virus, before it mutated; it's hoped that this would allow the survivors to go back to living on the surface of the earth. In the TV series, the timeline is fluid. While certain things seem to be preordained, it's been shown clearly that Cole can do things that would affect the future outcome, so his mission to the past is to stop the outbreak from happening.
The virus was still very much active in the film's future from which Cole came from. Anyone going above ground needed to wear a protective suit, and had to go through decontamination going back below the surface. Cole and his friend walked on the surface without need of any protection in the TV series.
In the film, Cole had constant flashbacks (dreams) of something he saw as a child, before the plague happened. This element appears to be missing in the series.
For very obvious reasons, the film's "primary past" is 1996, while the "primary past" of the TV series is 2015.
In the film, time travelling seemed to have some effect on a person's psyche, which was one of the reasons why Cole was chosen--it was implied that he could endure the process better than his predecessors. It also made it easier for him to doubt his own sanity. Thus far in the series, time travelling does not seem to have had any adverse effects on him. Cole was chosen not because of his perceived/tested abilities, but because his name was mentioned in a recovered recording made by Dr. Railly, which supposedly pinpointed the cause of the plague.
In the film, the Army of the Twelve Monkeys was thought to have caused the plague since before Cole was chosen to go back in time. In the series, it went unnoticed until a person in the past (Leland Goines) mentioned it.
It's implied in the film that there were others who had been sent back in time before Cole, and there were certainly others after him. It's not yet know if there were or will be others in the series.
In the film, no one saw Cole vanish before their eyes, lending credence to the possibility that he might not be a time traveller. In the series, Dr. Railly regularly sees him vanish before her eyes.
Dr. Railly was a psychiatrist in the film, and a virologist in the TV series.
In the film, Dr. Railly treated Cole as a patient when he was initially sent to the wrong year. In the TV series, he goes to find her intentionally.
Dr. Railly's name was Kathryn, and Cassandra in the TV series. The change was most likely an homage to the Cassandra Complex, which Kathryn talked about in the film.
Leland Goines' child was Jeffrey in the film. In the series, it's Jennifer.
Jeffrey was the leader of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys in the film. In the TV series, it appears that she was a victim of it.
It remains to be seen if the red herring in the film will be a red herring in the series, as well.
There are a few other differences that I think are too minor to mention, or perhaps a bit too spoiler-ish. And I'm sure there will be more as the series goes on.

SC25 Prediction Panel announces the start of a new solar cycle, expects continued below-average strength
Posted by Teo Blašković on September 15, 2020 at 22:14 UTC (4 months ago)
Categories: Editors' picks, Space weather
Solar minimum occurred in December 2019, marking the start of a new solar cycle, the Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel, an international group of experts co-sponsored by NASA and NOAA, announced on September 15, 2020.
The solar minimum between Solar Cycle 24 and 25 - the period when the Sun is least active - happened in December 2019, when the 13-month smoothed sunspot number fell to 1.8, the group announced today.
"We are now in Solar Cycle 25 with peak sunspot activity expected in 2025."
Solar Cycle 24 was average in length, at 11 years, and had the 4th-smallest intensity since regular record-keeping began with Solar Cycle 1 in 1755.
It was also the weakest cycle in 100 years, scientists said, adding that its progression was unusual.
Image credit: NOAA/SWPC
Solar maximum occurred in April 2014 with sunspots peaking at 114 for the solar cycle, well below average, which is 179.
The Sun's Northern Hemisphere led the sunspot cycle, peaking over two years ahead of the Southern Hemisphere sunspot peak. This resulted in solar maximum having fewer sunspots than if the two hemispheres were in phase.
We then entered a very deep, century-class solar minimum, and significantly increased cosmic radiation.
In 2019, the Sun has been blank 77% of the time, which is comparable to annual averages during the century-class Solar Minimum of 2008 (73%) and 2009 (71%). In 2020, from January to September, the Sun has been blank for 181 days or 70%.
During the solar minimum phase of the solar cycle, sunspot and flare activity diminishes, and the Sun's magnetic field weakens, allowing cosmic rays to enter the solar system and shower Earth.
In 2019 and 2020, cosmic radiation reached a percentage point of the Space Age maximum set in 2009/10 near the end of the previous solar minimum, also very deep as this one.
Since the start of 2020, activity on the Sun has steadily increased, indicating we transitioned to Solar Cycle 25.
"How quickly solar activity rises in an indicator of how strong the cycle will be," said Doug Biesecker, Ph.D., panel co-chair and a solar physicist at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. "Although we've seen a steady increase in sunspot activity this year, it is slow."
The Sun's activity is forecast to ramp up toward the next predicted maximum in July 2025, with a peak of 115 sunspots -- but the new solar cycle is expected to be below average in strength, much like the one that just ended.
This, however, doesn't mean that there is no risk of powerful solar flares and extreme space weather.
In addition, some scientists say that these weak cycles may be signaling that we are at the beginning of a much bigger cycle -- called grand minimum -- which can last several decades or even centuries. These cycles are, among other things, marked by increased cosmic radiation, as well as heightened seismic and volcanic activity.
The largest recent grand minimum happened during the period of history we now know as Little Ice Age. Some say it lasted from the 16th to 19th century, while others argue that it started way back in the 13th century when pack ice began advancing southwards.
According to Miller et al., cold summers and ice growth began abruptly between 1275 and 1300, followed by a substantial intensification from 1430 to 1455.
Scientists have shown that the world experienced heightened volcanic activity throughout the Little Ice Age, starting with massive tropical volcanic eruptions in 1257 -- whose ash cloud covered the whole earth, blocked some of the incoming solar radiation, and caused cooling.
The 1257 eruptions were followed by three smaller eruptions in 1268, 1275, and 1284 which further blocked some of the incoming solar radiation and prevented the climate to recover.
Another significant cooling period known as Spörer Minimum took place from 1460 to 1550, followed by another in the middle of the Little Ice Age, from 1645 to 1715, known as the Maunder Minimum -- when sunspots became exceedingly rare.
Shindell et al. suggest the connection between solar activity and Earth's climate is visible in the modification of the Arctic Oscillation/North Atlantic Oscillation caused by decreased solar irradiance.
Global average temperature changes are small (about 0.3° to 0.4°C) in both a climate model and empirical reconstructions, scientists said. "However, regional temperature changes are quite large."
An artist's rendering of the SWFO satellite
If everything goes as planned, we'll have a new, advanced solar observatory at the L1 point before the next solar maximum in 2025 -- NOAA's Space Weather Follow-On (SWFO).
SWFO is the first satellite observatory dedicated exclusively to operational space weather.
It will make direct, in-situ, measurements of the solar wind thermal plasma and magnetic field 'up-stream' of the Earth, observe the Sun's corona to detect Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), and monitor other extreme activity from the Sun in finer detail than before.

The Department for Mutated Persons – Chapter 9
Hours. Days. Alan couldn't tell anymore. He was now clad in a white jumpsuit that had appeared during one of his short naps. Alan could feel his personality ebbing away. Not a soul had come by since the operator had thrown him into his cell.
Alan spent most of his time attempting to train his newfound telekinetic abilities. The only thing he had to work with was his cot, so he spent hours on end trying to lift the cot while he sat up against a corner as far from it as he could.
Once he had successfully lifted the cot, he graduated to lifting the cot while he sat on top of it. That proved a little more difficult, but eventually he was able to raise the cot while sitting on it. Alan wobbled a little in the air, like a gymnast trying to stick the landing.
"Knock it off," a tinny voice echoed through a speaker in the hallway, cutting off Alan's concentration in the process.
The cot fell to the concrete floor, and Alan grumbled under his breath. A whooshing sound emanated from down the hall, and the operator walked up to Alan's cell. His annoyed look spoke volumes.
"Get up."
Alan stood up reluctantly.
"Turn around."
Alan rolled his eyes and complied. The cell door slid open, and the operator grabbed Alan by his shirt, then pulled him back into the hall.
"Where're we going?"
"Shut up," the operator replied, and he pushed Alan forward down the hall.
The operator took Alan into the D block, a long corridor filled with doors and mirrored glass. Once inside, Alan would no doubt be observed, unaware of the onlookers spying on him. The operator opened the door to D23, and then pulled Alan inside and sat him in an uncomfortable metal chair.
"Wait here," the operator commanded, then he left through the door they had come from. Alan looked to his right. There was another pane of mirrored glass opposite the doorway they had come in. Alan felt like a rat in a maze. But was he going to get the cheese or the shock?
Directly across from Alan the wall opened up, and a young man in a suit walked in.
"Mr. Mitchell," the man held out a hand across the table. Alan looked at it suspiciously, then gave the man a confused look. The man looked down at his own hand, and shook his head, "Excuse me, where are my manners? My name is Connor. I'm your legal representation."
Alan couldn't help but let out a thunderous laugh that echoed in the room. The lawyer seemed just as confused as Alan. Alan wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes.
"I'm sorry," Alan replied, then coughed. He continued, "Sorry. But you're doing a hell of a job, Connor."
Connor cleared his throat and set his briefcase down next to his seat, then he sat down across from Alan. They shared a brief moment of silence before Connor continued.
"I am here to help you mitigate your sentence through cooperation with the Board," Connor started.
"Yeah, that sounds more realistic. So what do they want."
Connor pulled out a folder from his bag and tossed it onto the table. Inside were several photos of Alan standing next to Marshall.
"The Board believes you have access to information about this individual."
"I know Marshall. Yes. That's about all the information I have," Alan replied. He knew it was partially a lie. Marshall had shared a lot with him that night after the bus accident. But he wasn't about to sell out his friend to help big brother get an advantage over him.
"We – ahem – the Board are aware that you are close with Marshall Roberts. Bearing that attempts to extract information from Mr. Roberts has been fruitless, and operatives have had little success as well, the Board has decided to offer you an incentive. If you can provide us with information on Mr. Roberts' associates, then the Board will consider your parole from this system."
"Associates?"
"We are aware that Marshall Roberts has divulged certain details and/or whereabouts of his family to you. This information is deemed an organization imperative by the Director of the Board."
"I'm not sure I know what you're talking about," Alan played dumb, his arms folded over his chest.
"One of our informants is giving us live playback of your thoughts, Mr. Mitchell. Please don't play dumb with us," Connor retorted. Alan looked to the mirrored glass. No doubt, a reader was standing behind the glass. Alan considered how selfish a person could be to use their abilities against their own kind. Then he thought of how he harmed Elizabeth. Connor held a hand to his ear, clearly taking in some bit of information.
"Mr. Mitchell, we would be willing to overlook your murder of Elizabeth Dawes if you were to cooperate with the Board."
Alan could feel a burning in his chest and a lump in his throat. He felt violated. He looked over at the glass, and his look spoke more volumes than his mind possibly could.
"Why don't you tell whoever's behind the glass that using my past against me isn't going to get them what they want," Alan looked back at Connor. Alan could feel tears starting to form in his glossy eyes. Connor paused for a moment, clearly listening to the other side.
"Your guilt clearly says otherwise, Mr. Mitchell."
Alan slammed his fist on the table. The chairs and table – though bolted to the floor – shook angrily.
"I'm trying to help you," Connor replied calmly. The outburst clearly hadn't shaken him in the slightest. But it wasn't meant for him, but for the person behind the glass. Alan heard a switch flick and the hallway mirror turned transparent. Alan could see the operator on the other side shaking his head disapprovingly. "Another outburst, and we'll send you back to your bed."
Alan looked back to his right at the glass still opaque. He felt like a wounded animal. A wounded animal that was being kicked after the fact. Insult to injury. Alan started to think deeply about his surroundings. The room, the lawyer, the operator, the mirrors, the informant Reader. He felt outside of himself. He looked down and saw the room from above. Outside of himself, he could float around and see what appeared invisible before. The taser strapped underneath the table next to Connor. There was a small switch panel next to the door he had entered. The operator's hand was on the mirror switch, about to flip back to the opaque function of the window. Alan's mind floated back to the other side, using his perception to find the other panel. He flipped the switch, and the mirror on his right side turned clear as day.
Alan looked into her eyes, the informant reader's green eyes. She didn't realize at first that Alan could see her. But then it became painfully obvious as their eyes locked to each other, like they were caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.

The World Marathon Challenge presented another challenge as McGillivray is just four years removed from being diagnosed with coronary heart disease. Through diet, lifestyle changes and a re-commitment for fitness, he has since reduced the coronary disease by almost 50 percent.
The clock started on Jan. 30 in the Antarctic Circle when the athletes ran a marathon on mainland Antarctica. The final marathon took place yesterday in Miami. The competitors flew by charter plane to each marathon location.
He and the other successful competitors ran a total of 183 miles (295 km) over the seven-day period and spent about 48 hours in the air. Follow this link for more information on McGillivray's efforts at the beginning of the challenge: http://www.wolfenews.com/releases/Where-in-the-World-is-Dave-McGillivray/04114/.
McGillivray trained for the World Marathon Challenge for almost a year, averaging more than 100 miles a week during some of those weeks. He also ran four marathons and three half marathons in seven days leading up to his 45thconsecutive Boston Marathon last April, and recently ran four marathons in six weeks.
McGillivray's sponsors for the World Marathon Challenge include David Samson and The Marlins Foundation, Hoka One One, Implus, LLC, Yaktrax, Swiftwick, Compressport, Ultima, Whirlaway Sports Center, Hyland, Under Armour, Off Season Sports Therapy and Oakley.
In addition to serving as the technical and race director of the famed Boston Marathon for 30 years, McGillivray also completed his 45th consecutive Boston Marathon last year.
As the owner and president of DMSE, Inc., known as DMSE Sports, McGillivray and his company have become a leader in the sports management field with over 75 staff and consultants locally and across the country. The firm manages more than 30 running events and races a year throughout the U.S. – from Maine to California.
McGillivray is also known as an inspirational speaker who gives talks to schoolchildren and a variety of groups throughout the country. He just published a children's picture book called "Dream Big", based on his 2006 autobiography, "The Last Pick".

So we have friends who has chars on other realms and would like to create and connect those chars to their account on our website, but the only realms available when creating your char is the following: Aegwynn(EU), Anvilmar(US), Burning Blade(EU), Burning Legion(EU), Burning Legion(US), Burning Steppes(EU), Talnivarr(EU).
There ofc seems to be alot of realms missing in that list, why?
The reason for the shortened list of realms is that the list has to be pre-approved by an admin of the site, rather than allowing all realms.
If you head to Admin > Games > Games, and click [Servers], you can add the other servers you wish to approve on the site.

►►Russia says China still spies the old-fashioned way. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), issued a rare statement last week, claiming it had arrested Tong Shengyong, a Chinese citizen who, posing as a translator for official delegations, was working under the direction of the Chinese government in an attempt to buy state secrets from Russians about Russia's S-300 missile system. It now says that the Tong case shows that China continues to employ an old standby in the tradecraft playbook: outright bribery.

Movie of the Week - Spellbound
This week's movie is Spellbound (1945).
The film is about a psychiatrist who falls in love with the new head of the clinic that she works at, but not all is what it seems with this man. He is hiding a murderous secret. The film is directed by Alfred Hitchcock and features a fantastic score from Miklos Rozsa, masterful cinematography from (possibly the greatest D.P. of all time) George Barnes and abstract design from artist Salvador Dali. It is also one of the films Hitchcock made with famous producer and personal antagonist David O. Selznick. Hollywood legends Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck star in the film and both give good performances. The film is a bit dated now and its look at psychotherapy seems odd to present viewers, but Hitchcock's approach to the material rewards viewers with a good drama/mystery that really gets good in the second half and Hitchcock uses some interesting shots to heighten the tension and suspense. What makes the film great is Hitchcock's collaboration with his actors and crew resulting in an interesting visual film that while socially and culturally out of touch with current audiences still has the ability to draw them in and have them hooked through the last shot. It is not Hitchcock's best work, but it is a solid film and a must of fans of his films. Check out the trailer.

Isle Royale NP: Lane Cove Trail
Greenstone Ridge, Lake Superior
Moderate to difficult
Lane Cove Trail and the campground at its north end are the only avenue hikers have to the Five Fingers of Isle Royale, that special area of long, narrow bays and fiordlike coves. This is an excellent first-night destination out of Rock Harbor for any backpacker hiking the Greenstone and anxious to escape the bustle of campgrounds like Daisy Farm.
Lane Cove Trail and the campground at its north end are the only avenue hikers have to the Five Fingers of Isle Royale, that special area of long, narrow bays and fiord-like coves. This is an excellent first-night destination out of Rock Harbor for any backpacker hiking the Greenstone Ridge Trail and anxious to escape the bustle of campgrounds like Daisy Farm. The trek from Rock Harbor to Lane Cove is 5.9 miles, via the Tobin Harbor Trail and Mount Franklin Trail.
The shoreline campground is one of the few along Lake Superior without shelters and offers only individual campsites and pit toilets. But the area is beautiful as you view the entire cove or gaze beyond its narrow mouth to the tree-studded islets north of Belie Harbor. On a clear day, this is also one of the few campgrounds where you can view Canada from your tent site.
Lane Cove Trail is covered with detailed maps in Isle Royale National Park: Foot Trails & Water Routes by Jim DuFresne. To order the 184-page guide to the wilderness island, Click Here.
In the Upper Peninsula, on the way to Isle Royale National Park, the best place to pick up equipment is Downwind Sports which has two stores at 514 N Third St. in Marquette (906-226-7112) and 308 Shelden Ave. in Houghton (906-482-2500). Once on the island, information, maps and backcountry permits can be obtained from the Rock Harbor or Windigo Visitor Centers at the foot of the ferry wharf. There are also small stores at each entry port with limited and very expensive supplies.
Lane Cove Trail begins near Mount Franklin on the Greenstone Ridge Trail. Most hikers reach the south end of it via the Rock Harbor Trail or Tobin Trail and then the Mount Franklin Trail from Rock Harbor. To reach Rock Harbor and Isle Royale National Park there's the Isle Royale Queen IV (906-289-4437; www.isleroyale.com), a ferry that departs from Copper Harbor.

Drake Producing 48 Laws of Power Show
BY David Rapp • March 27, 2020

Robert Greene's bestselling 1998 nonfiction book, The 48 Laws of Power, includes such advice as "Conceal Your Intentions," "Always Say Less Than Necessary," and "Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy." Now, one might add another law: "Have a book-to-screen adaptation produced by Drake."
The Canadian musician will co-executive-produce and co-direct a new series based on the book, which will be released on the streaming service Quibi, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In the book, Greene, a former Hollywood screenwriter and Esquire editor, offers a series of rules for living. Kirkus' 1998 review characterized them as "boil[ing] down to being as ruthless, selfish, manipulative, and deceitful as possible." Our reviewer went on to call it a "silly, distasteful book": "While compelling in the way an auto accident might be, the book is simply nonsense….Greene never really defines 'power,' and he merely asserts, rather than offers evidence for, the Hobbesian world of all against all in which he insists we live."
However, Greene's work went on to have some famous fans in the music world. Drake's 2009 track "What I'm Thinkin' Right Now" featured the lyric: "So read 48 Laws if you never read it / Because that is one of the main reasons I'm level-headed." Jay-Z and Kanye West also referenced the book in their 2011 collaboration "Primetime." In addition, Greene and rapper 50 Cent co-wrote a 2009 book together titled The 50th Law.
The Quibi subscription streaming service, as reported by the Los Angeles Times last year, will focus on short-form videos of 10 minutes or less for viewing on a mobile app. It's set to launch next month, but no release date for The 48 Laws of Power has yet been announced.

Artcadia, a letterpress stationery shop and design studio in Shrewsbury, is the passion project of couple Vici and Adam Blenkharn. After spotting a gap in the local market for beautiful paper goods, they decided to open their own boutique specialising in just that. Quality is the core of Vici and Adam's ethos, and many of their products are produced in their studio using vintage presses, before being finished by hand.
"We are creative people and we like doing our own thing. We love that owning a boutique allows us to curate fantastic products made by like minded brands that share our ethos."


Achievement Guide for Welcome to the Majors!
you must get enough runs during the first inning. Enough so that the opposing Pitcher must leave the game so the opposing team can bring in a relief pitcher during the first inning.
This is easier if you are pitching first, When you are; just throw strikes in the hitters "HOT ZONE" because a strike there is X3 for turbo, by the time strike out 3 batters you should have enough for 3-4 turbo swings.
Now comes the part which requires a team with a great hitting line up, I used the red sox, Yankees are pretty good as well. For every swing you should be holding the left stick up and using "B" for a power swing. With a good power hitter you should hit home runs automatically and with a not so good power hitter use a turbo which is a guaranteed home run if you swing right. For me i had 6 homers with the first 7 batters and the opposing teams pitcher was pulled immediately after the 6th run. This could vary, depending on your game.
There are currently no gaming sessions for the Welcome to the Majors! achievements that you can join - why not register and make a new session?

White House: Mueller Is Overreaching And Trump Has The Power To Fire Him
By Ayesha Rascoe • Apr 10, 2018
President Trump believes Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller has gone too far in his probe of potential ties between Trump's campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Tuesday.
Her statement to reporters did little to tamp down speculation that Trump may seek to fire Mueller — an authority that Sanders says Trump enjoys.
Amid Crisis Abroad And Tension At Home, Trump Cancels Trip To Latin America
President Trump has canceled his planned trip to Latin America this week.
The commander in chief and his advisers are deciding on a response to the Syrian government's alleged chemical weapons attack on its own people. And closer to home, the office of the president's personal lawyer was raided by the FBI on Monday.
So Trump is staying put, the White House says.

Not every company has the opportunity to have a large corporate legal department. Many small and medium-sized businesses don't have the need or the capacity for a dedicated legal team. In this situation, I can act as the company's General Counsel. I provide legal counsel when needed, advise on business decisions, review agreements, and provide any other services necessary without the costs associated with a full-time position. This gives these companies flexibility and excellent value while allowing them to take advantage of an experience full in-house legal.
Years of working with Fortune 1000 companies has primed me to not only to understand and value the importance of legal counsel in corporate decision-making, but also recognize standard processes and procedures that are in place. This is especially valuable information to SMBs looking to enter into an agreement with a large company. Our in-depth knowledge of their workings and the specific and necessary legal requirements allows our clients to accelerate the sales cycle tremendously for those looking to sell a product or service.
Due to my extensive experience in in-house legal counseling, acting General Counsel and acting In-House Counsel through my firm, I offer a tailored solution to every company's legal department management needs, whether that means offering managerial capabilities, consultant advice or acting as subject matter expert, or else replacing it all together.
Since my relationships with my clients are of the utmost importance, I offer an online client dashboard which gives the CEO and CFO of the company an overview of the real-time status of legal cases in progress along the incurred cost for each matter. This allows for complete transparency in our actions and our clients feel informed and in control of all legal aspects of their company.

Q: How to update react component state from one component to another, and call any functions from any component I am very new to react, when I put everything in one place, it works fine. But when I split it into components, everything went wrong.
I have two files App.js and Activity1.js
Activity1.js contains an input with an event handler attached to it. This input is simply wrapped inside a div.
The input was initially in App.js but I extracted it to Activity.js.
The input has a sibling, a div where I echo whatever the user types in the input, by updating the props state. How can I update the state. Your time and interest is appreciated.
Here's my code:
App.js

import './App.css';
import React from 'react';
import Activity1 from './f/Activity1';
class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {value:15};
  }
  checkInput = e => {
    this.setState({value: e.target.value});
  }
  render(){
    return (

          <Activity1 />

    )
  }

}
export default App;

Here's Activity1.js

import React from "react";
class Activity1 extends React.Component{
  constructor(props){
    super(props);
  }
  render(){
    return (

Enter Number

        <input className="form-control" onChange={this.checkInput} />

{this.state.value}

    )
  }
}
export default Activity1;

A: You can pass a function as a prop to the other component.

      <Activity1 checkInput={this.checkInput} inputValue = {this.state.value}/>

In your Activity1 component,
const {checkInput, inputValue} = this.props;
onChangeEventHandler= () => {
    checkInput();
}

and
<input className = "form-control" onChange = ={this.onChangeEventHandler} />

 {this.inputValue}

https://dev.to/vadims4/passing-down-functions-in-react-4618

A: Hope this solves the problem.
app.js
...
<Activity1 checkInput = {this.checkInput} inputValue = {this.state.value}/>
...

Activity1.js
...
render() {
    const {checkInput, inputValue} = this.props;
    ...
    <input className = "form-control" onChange = {checkInput} />

 {inputValue}

A: You can use a Callback function
<Activity checkInput = {this.checkInput} inputValue = {this.checkInput.bind(this)}/>

I've been working with the Genesis Framework for WordPress lately, and I recently discovered there are two ways to make Genesis display the post meta and info conditionally, and which method you need depends whether the theme is HTML5 or not.
On most sites, I use excerpts on the front page, and most Genesis themes place the post meta and post info – that's the author byline, categories, tags and so on – on every excerpt by default. That's a lot of extra links on my homepage. I prefer to only show that information in the single.php or article view. So here's the code to make that happen. You plonk this into your functions.php file.
On some Genesis themes, you may have to remove one of the "add_action" lines because it's already added back in elsewhere in your functions.php file.
But who will protect my domain from GoDaddy?
