Croatia Beat Russia, Qualify For 2022 World Cup

Croatia secured their place at the 2022 World Cup with a 1-0 win over Russia on Sunday, a late own goal from Fedor Kudryashov swinging the game in their favour after a hard-fought battle in boggy conditions in Split.
Finalists at the last World Cup in 2018, Croatia looked bound for the play-offs for much of Sunday's game, as they toiled on a waterlogged pitch against a resolute Russian defence.
But Kudryashov's error saw them snatch top spot from the visitors eight minutes from time and secure their passage to next year's tournament in Qatar.
"It was a difficult match from the beginning because of the rain. We never gave up, we were patient and I think we won deservedly. We are the best team in this group," Croatia captain Luka Modric was quoted as saying by the UEFA website.
An early header from Andrej Kramaric set the tone for a first half in which Croatia had the lion's share of possession and piled on the pressure in search of an opener.
Marcelo Brozovic also shaved the bar with a long-range effort, before both he and Josip Juranovic forced saves from Russian keeper Matvey Safonov.
Safonov beat away another Kramaric header with a reflex save just after the break, before denying substitute Bruno Petkovic on the hour mark.
The conditions made it harder and harder for Croatia as the second half progressed, with the pitch becoming ever more boggy under the heavy rain.
The chances had all but dried up when Borna Sosa sent a hopeful ball into the box on 82 minutes.
Though under no pressure, Kudryashov struggled to control the ball as it skidded on the wet ground, and watched helplessly on as it bounced off his knee and inside the post.
While Croatia qualify automatically as Group H winners, Russia can still make it through via the play-offs.

The Future of the Supreme Court (Page 5)
So the investigation is a sham already.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...-brett-n915061
The White House is limiting the scope of the FBI's investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, multiple people briefed on the matter told NBC News.
While the FBI will examine the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, the bureau has not been permitted to investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick…A White House official confirmed that Swetnick's claims will not be pursued as part of the reopened background investigation into Kavanaugh.
Instead of investigating Swetnick's claims, the White House counsel's office has given the FBI a list of witnesses they are permitted to interview, according to several people who discussed the parameters on the condition of anonymity. They characterized the White House instructions as a significant constraint on the FBI investigation and caution that such a limited scope, while not unusual in normal circumstances, may make it difficult to pursue additional leads in a case in which a Supreme Court nominee has been accused of sexual assault.
President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the FBI has "free reign" in the investigation.
If the FBI learns of others who can corroborate what the existing witnesses are saying, it is not clear whether agents will be able to contact them under the terms laid out by the White House, the two sources briefed on the matter said.
Some areas are off limits, the sources said.
But as of now, the FBI cannot ask the supermarket that employed Judge for records verifying when he was employed there, one of the sources was told. Ford said in congressional testimony Thursday that those records would help her narrow the time frame of the alleged incident which she recalls happening some time in the summer of 1982 in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Two sources familiar with the investigation said the FBI will also not be able to examine why Kavanaugh's account of his drinking at Yale University differs from those of some former classmates, who have said he was known as a heavy drinker.
Sounds like the White House believes the allegations. If Kavanaugh is innocent, why hog-tie the FBI? Shouldn't a clean investigation turn up any discrepancies in the accusations?
Possibly. There would also be the possibility, if the FBI went wherever they could, of them digging-up more issues in other areas, like his alleged gambling problems. Sure would be inconvenient to find some Russian mafia bookies in his closet.
If the FBI had a time limit only, they'd likely find enough to warrant extending it. Its all about rushing him through.
I'm not sure what you guys think extensive FBI background checks do. Do you believe those look only into publically known information ?
At the time the initial background checks were done, the allegations agains Kavanaugh had not yet been made public. There was no way for the FBI — or anyone else for that matter — to know.
Disregarding the question whether you'd want to take the risk of giving someone such a unique a job as Supreme Court justice who has been credibly accused of sexual assault and sexual misconduct, I think it is also a strategic mistake by the White House. They want to push Kavanaugh through, and the FBI investigation is supposed to give the Republicans who are on the fence political cover. This blatantly politically motivated limitation to the investigation just keeps everything in the political arena for longer.
As an aside, I have to say, I don't think Kavanaugh gave himself any favors with that last Senate hearing. He blatantly lied about mostly inconsequential stuff* and did not show that he is able to control his emotions.
* Are we really supposed to believe he didn't have a blackout from drinking or that "Ralphing" was in connection with spicy food. Or that Renate Alumni was a reference to the great friendship he and his buddies had to that then-girl? Does he think the American people are morons?!?
Woot. Double Post.
So they can only find things that are already k own ?
I don't understand the argument being made here
Logic, surrender, you have been surrounded.
I'm sure if they had spoken to Ford, she'd have told them. Everyone else who was there is still pretending not to remember so the FBI can't have known. Its also not unthinkable that they too might have dismissed teenage "shenanigans" out of hand.
Guilty or not BK has exhibited extremely poor judgement and blatant partisanship throughout these hearings. He's clearly not fit to be on the SC.
Rachel Mitchell has sent a memo.
https://www.scribd.com/document/3898...Mitchell-Memo#
Pres.Trump has tweeted that the FBI has not been restricted. They have talked to Ramirez.
My wife worked for Motorola's Government Electronics Group, as did an aunt. When they did an FBI background check on the them, the FBI talked to neighbors, teachers, family members, friends, coworkers etc. They look into them as well. My brother applied for the Phoenix PD and was turned down because was "an associate of a known drug dealer." This was a childhood friend who lived down the street. My father in law also had a security clearance for his job in CA. In both my wife and father in law's case, the FBI also talked to people in IL where they originally from.

That's enough for you? Ford claiming something is enough that you'll believe it to be true, without any corroborating sources?
This is what it about. It would not matter if the FBI checked out For's allegation for a year, let alone a week. There were D senators stating they were opposing Kavanaugh as soon as he was nominated. The Demoncrats on the judiciary comittee were not going to vote for him under any circumstances.
So to be clear, Chongo, you're fine with a rapist on the bench? You don't care if it's true?
It's certainly clear he has anger management issues.
Also, Demoncrats is beneath you. Do better.
Did Ford say that she was raped? No. She alleges someone triedto rape her. Did you read the Mitchell memo?
.....and Keith Ellison doesn't?
There is such a thing as righteous anger. Even Jesus gets angry.
Caught in a Witch Hunt: USA Today Retracts Claim That Kavanaugh Should Stop Coaching Girls
On Friday, USA Today sports reporter Erik Brady suggested that Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh should not coach girls' basketball, at least not until the FBI investigation concludes, due to 36-year-old allegations he attempted to rape a teenage girl in high school. Facing sharp criticism, USA Today edited the article and deleted a tweet sharing it on Saturday.
Sorry to say this, it will not surprise when some claims from the well of the House or Senate he abuses his kids.
Text of Article 1, Section 6:
The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
There were D senators stating they were opposing Kavanaugh as soon as he was nominated. The Demoncrats on the judiciary comittee were not going to vote for him under any circumstances.
You're asserting that they didn't have good reasons to do so?
Ok, based on Chongo's testimony, should Jesus Christ ever be nominated for Supreme Court, put me down on record as saying his destruction of temple property make him unfit as a jurist.
Attempted rapist, sure, let's qualify my comment with that correction. Doesn't change. You think attempted rapists are AOK.
https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1046825845371879430
Breaking News: The White House told the FBI to interview anyone it wants in the Kavanaugh investigation after a backlash from Democrats. But agents must finish by Friday.
Thank god for the media.
Do you have proof? Ford doesn't. Did you read the Mitchell memo?
Trump nominated him, and they perceive it changing the "balance of the court." That is enough. Gorsuch did not threaten the balance of the court.
There were "protesters" waiting with "Stop ___________!" signs. It would not have mattered who was nominated, they were going to be opposed. I can't wait until the time comes to fill Ginsberg's seat That is going to make this pale in comparison. I hope Judge Barrett is ready for it.

Do you have proof? Ford doesn't.
When has that stopped you from believing something? (See: Seth Rich)
Wait, another big caveat
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.e67be24b9af7
Even the broadened probe — which will now encompass the allegations of a third accuser — seemed to have limits that might fuel the controversy.
The FBI will not, for example, conduct an unfettered review of Kavanaugh's youthful drinking or examine statements Kavanaugh made about his alcohol consumption during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to see if those answers were accurate or misleading, the people familiar with the matter said. The White House also could resist inquiries into new allegations, the people said.
But people familiar with the matter said agents will be allowed to question more witnesses with information on the sexual-misconduct allegations. Drinking is inextricably intertwined with the allegations Kavanaugh faces, so it would be impossible to avoid that topic entirely. Two people familiar with the interviews so far say agents have asked routine questions, including about alcohol use.
You case everything in terms of GOP winning/losing something, and I believe this clouds your judgement. Sexual assault is not a partisan issue.* The only reason why the Kavanaugh nomination has reached an impasse is because there are credible allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct. If Kavanaugh had the same clean record as Gorsuch, then Kavanaugh would have been confirmed already.
The Senate has to decide whether to grant President Trump's request to promote Kavanaugh from the second-highest court in the US to the highest. You don't apply the same burden of proof as you do in a criminal investigation, where you could deprive someone of his liberty. A promotion is a privilege, incarceration a punishment.
Even if all you care about is having a judge who votes for or against the causes that you want him or her to vote, there are other candidates out there who don't have Kavanaugh's baggage. The longer President Trump waits, the smaller the chance that another candidate will be confirmed. So the GOP's compulsive need to win every battle with the Democrats could end up costing them a nominee.
* If you think sexual assault is a partisan issue, then I would not want to be on the side that condones it.
First of all, please don't troll by bringing Hillary Clinton into the discussion. Either you want to participate in this discussion or troll, but you can't have both.
If you weigh Ford's testimony with that of Kavanaugh, clearly Kavanaugh's is less credible:
- More women came forward with different accusations and no connection to Ford.
- He lied under oath about even small things, including his drinking habits, his "summer ski trips" and his admission to Yale. Telling such blatant lies is quite insulting to the American people.
- He was evasive even when questioned directly.
- He has reason to lie whereas there is no upside for Ford to come forward now.
- There is plenty of corroborating evidence of the circumstances, including a book published by the other person who was supposed to have been in the room at that time.
- He brought forth non-evidence in place of evidence. (Do you expect a teenager to put "attempted rape" in your calendar? Or that "he was a virgin" at that point.)
- He was belligerent and lost his temper during testimony.
- Ford named other witnesses that could have been subpoenaed by the Senate Judiciary Committee and brought in for questioning under oath. They could have substantiated either Ford's or Kavanaugh's side of the story. Of course, that wasn't Kavanaugh's choice, but the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but if the witnesses could provide testimony in favor of Kavanaugh, wouldn't you want them there?
- Kavanaugh comes across as someone with an alcohol problem. His obsession with beer seems rather odd at his age.
- Kavanaugh's partisan antiques clearly showed a lack of qualification as a Supreme Court Justice whose job it is to call balls and strikes.
When it comes to Ford's testimony:
- Statistically speaking, it is extremely unlikely that women falsely make up stories of sexual abuse.
- She was as consistent as expected given that the event happened more than 35 years ago.
- This is consistent with what we know about humans processing traumatic events.
- She was very forthcoming in her testimony. Even Republican senators said after the testimony that they "believed her" (although they seem to think she misremembered the actual person).
- There is zero upside for her to come forward and put herself on display in front of millions of people, and talk about one of her most difficult moments in life.
Chongo will say that the upside for Ford is the upside for the Democrats of blocking Kavanaugh's confirmation. Because he assumes that everyone else thinks the way he would when it comes to politics. Most hardcore conservatives are incapable of understanding, recognising or admitting when people are being objectively reasonable or fair if the outcome is not one they favour. Partisanship is a much more one-sided thing than most people will ever admit/realise.
It should surprise no-one that someone who immediately forgave the RCC for molesting children and covering it up would happily support an angry, violent, drunk rapist being appointed to the SC when abortion is on the table.
What proof would you expect under the circumstances?

I know you are not really arguing with my, but let me pre-empt that: That only shows an incidental upside to the Democrats, but that's not an upside to Ford. Precisely this is the logical error here, Chongo seems to conflate the two.

Elections are a way to weed out bad candidates, too. And there is a real downside to not wanting to admit that to yourself. The GOP sticking to Roy Moore, for example, cost the GOP a seat that under all other circumstances would have been a completely safe seat. (What was the adage again, the GOP could have nominated a bag of sugar and the bag of sugar would have been elected?)
It seems completely selfdestructive to make things that are obviously non-political (statutory rape is bad and sexual assault is bad) into something that is political by standing by objectively bad candidates. The cure is to propose and promote better candidates. Women are starting to remember that when they are asked to vote. And more and more men, who are not of the same vintage as the honorable members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, too.
Even just from a utilitarian point of view, pissing off women is a really dangerous electoral strategy: you can't gerrymander your way out of that, women are for all practical purposes equally distributed amongst the population.
Bill and Ted, not Hillary. Joy Behar said she would still vote him knowing he was credibly accused of rape, and MA voters still voted for Ted even after he left women to suffocate in a submerged car because "they voted her way"
That's up for the Senate to decide.
Two. Ramirez, who called around trying to get people to confirm it was Kavanaugh and found no one. The NY times also tried to corroborate her story and failed, that's why they did not run it. The other, Swetnick, is already backtracking on details of her story. Of the four people Swetnick named, one is dead, one refuted her claim, and the other two cannot be found.
Over 60 of Kavanaugh's female friends from high school and college have come forward to support him.
How would have expected him to act being accused of trying to rape someone? Had he not shown some type of emotion you would have said he was rehearsed or robotic in his answers.
All have submitted sworn affidavits that do not corroborate her story.
Six previous FBI background checks failed to uncover this?
"nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to meet the preponderance of the evidence standard" (civil cases)
Five Go fund me accounts with $1,000,000 in them is not upside enough?

What took you so long?
I'll let Fr Lankeit clear this up for you.
You've posted the mitchell statement repeatedly, please stop. We've read it. We watched the hearings. It's exactly what you'd expect from the defense.
I thought it was a job interview.
There were "protesters" waiting with "Stop ___________!" signs. It would not have mattered who was nominated, they were going to be opposed.
Do you believe that every nominee must be carefully and fairly considered, no matter who nominated them?
Chongo, is it safe to say that if the democrats had hired an investigator who only questioned Kavanaugh and then released a memo saying his denials were not credible, you'd give zero shits?
Bill and Ted, not Hillary.
Are either of those up for a seat at the Supreme Court? Thought as much. Stop trolling, please.
The Senate decides whether or not to promote Kavanaugh, but we all have brains with which we can decide who we think is more credible.
No, three in addition to Ford.
He is applying for a job at the Supreme Court, so I would have liked him to stay calm, composed and treat this stoically. He could have said: "I didn't know how to deal with alcohol when I was younger. That was part of the culture at high school and at Yale. Yes, there were times when I drank so much I couldn't remember everything. Obviously I am an adult now and that is behind me. But I honestly don't remember attacking Mrs. Ford, and don't think I could have done something like that to her." That would have been much more credible and in keeping with the demeanor of a Supreme Court Judge.
But instead he insisted he really likes beer, pretended not to know or understand certain things and insulted senators.
You don't need to do background checks, you just need to watch the hearing.
Apples and bowling balls. The burden of proof in this case is not the same as in a civil case. In a civil case Kavanaugh would be at risk to be held e. g. financially liable. Here, he wants to be promoted to one of the rarest and special jobs in the US, and that merits a very different analysis here.
Are you for real? How many sexual abuse victims do you know? If you know any personally, stop posting here and ask them how many would want to tell their story on prime time TV, youtube, taken apart by millions of Americans, including threats and hate mail? How many of them would do that even if you offered them $1 million?
My wife is an attempted abuse/ abuse victim. Some nut job tried to abduct when she was getting in her car. She maced him and was able to get away. She also had an abusive boyfriend ( a Marine) who was an alcoholic. She had to get a restraining order against him. She also reported him to his commanding officer. Both occurred before we met. She thinks this all a scam and has nothing good to say about any of the women making the allegations.

You're saying your wife would go through the ordeal Ford went through for a million dollars? I hope you just haven't carefully read my reply.
( Last edited by OreoCookie; Oct 2, 2018 at 12:31 PM. )
I corrected my reply.
All I know is she wants to send her story to Judge Pirro.
BTW do you think it's OK for activists to show up at Judge Kavanuagh's parish and disrupt Mass?
Sorry your wife went through that. Hopefully the CO believed her and that guy got punished. I know several survivors of assault and the fear, who weren't believed. One friend even got asked out for a second date by someone who'd raped her. The guy didn't think he'd done anything wrong. She was scared of him and didn't have mace handy.
BTW, since we're engaging in whataboutism, is it ok for activists to show up at doctors offices and disrupt medical appointments?
Define disrupt and medical appointment.
No, you still haven't answered the question I have raised: I'm not talking about a cushy atmosphere where she is asked questions by a sympathetic host. Would your wife be ok with death threats, public shaming, humiliation, being questioned in a hostile environment and not being believed by ~50 % of the population? What advice would you, as a loving husband, give to your wife, would you suggest that she go through what Ford is going through right now?
So, Mr. "I don't know if Bart O' Kavanaugh refers to me, ask Mark Judge" signed his beach week letter Bart. (It also included the mysterious FFFFFF).
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...ly-troubled-by
Three former law clerks for Brett Kavanaugh who wrote the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this year expressing support for his nomination have written to clarify they are "deeply troubled" by the allegations of sexual assault against him.
In a letter to the Judiciary panel reported by HuffPost on Tuesday, former clerks Will Dreher, Bridget Fahey and Rakim Brooks said that an expanded FBI investigation into allegations from Christine Blasey Ford and two other women is merited.
His own clerks.
I was waiting for this.
Council of Churches has come out against Kavanaugh. This could get interesting.
McConnell has filed for cloture.

Do Celebrities Really Cook in These Kitchens? [Photos]
Rucuss staffDecember 5, 2011
Celebrities spend millions to live a lavish lifestyle.
They earn big and spend big. Celebs buy jewelry, luxury cars and anything they can pretty much get their hands on. Where they lay their heads is not exception. They spend millions on property that usually boasts game rooms, home theaters and multi-car garages. Despite not picking up a pan, their kitchens are top-notch. From marble or granite counter tops to sub-zero appliances, they are the envy of many.
Now, we know they get use out of the theatre rooms, game rooms and garages, but do they really cook in those pricey kitchens? We're pretty sure the hired help are the ones slicing and dicing in those fabulous kitchens. Zillow.com has put together a list of five celebrity kitchens worthy of a wonderful dinner party:
Taylor Swift's Kitchen
Location: Beverly Hills, CA
The quaint aesthetic is consistent with her down-to-earth image.

Country songstress Taylor Swift decided to go Hollywood by picking up a new California estate this past year. She bought a private piece of Beverly Hills real estate for $3.97 million. Perhaps the thing that may have swayed the Grammy-award winning artist is the spacious kitchen.
Taylor occasionally posts on Twitter that she's baking or cooking and this kitchen looks like the perfect place to do both — or, maybe just eat the cookie dough.
With an enormous double-door refrigerator and large butcher-block counter, Swift's kitchen will be perfect for her late-night cooking sessions.
Will Smith's Kitchen
Location: 25 Bond St Apt 4, New York, NY 10012
The modern 5-bedroom apartment includes four wood-burning fireplaces.
The multi-talented Will Smith was a Philly-born rapper who got his start in Hollywood as a teen adjusting to the ritzy life in L.A. in TV's "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." He has since moved on to be one of Hollywood's leading men and producers, not to mention father of some budding movie screen stars.
But does the Fresh Prince's artistic abilities translate into the kitchen?
While Will spends most of his time in L.A. homes with his family, he temporarily rented a SoHo apartment in Manhattan in 2010 while filming "Men In Black III." Will dropped a reported $55,000 a month for the penthouse which not only boasts skyline views, steam shower, wood-burning fireplace but a "performance kitchen" with two of everything and plenty of room for the Smith crew.
Kardashians' Kitchen
Location: Hidden Hills, CA
Newly single Kim Kardashian still lives in New York.
Another reality TV family, the Kardashians, had their share of kitchen moments as well. Owned by Kris and Bruce Jenner, this Hidden Hills mansion was the filming location of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and home base for Kim, Kourtney and the rest of the girls.
While Kim Kardashian isn't necessarily known for her cooking (presently, she's known for her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries) her mom, Kris, did her fair share in the marble and granite kitchen.
The Kardashian clan moved out of the home when they listed the property for $3.395 million in 2008.
Brad Pitt's Kitchen
Location: Malibu, CA
Wide windows provide a sweeping view of the ocean.
According to the Huffington Post, Brad and Angelina have never been big cooks, which may explain why Brad's bachelor pad in Malibu has a kitchen that looks more appropriate for mixing drinks than making dinner.
Brad bought the slice of beachfront Malibu real estate in 2005 for $8.41 million — shortly after his split from Jennifer Aniston. He spent several million customizing the mid-century modern, but as he and Angelina spend most their time in Europe, he listed the home for $13.75 million.
And perhaps Brad will have lots more time in a kitchen somewhere since he floated the idea of retiring from acting in three years.
Jennifer Aniston's Kitchen
The penthouse is "small" for an A-list celebrity, but has a staggering 900 square-foot terrace.
Not only is Jennifer Aniston the leading lady of Hollywood, but lately she's been a leading lady of real estate. She picked up a penthouse in New York's West Village in April for $5.9 million. Now celebrity real estate blogs have been chasing rumors that Aniston and current beau Justin Theroux are in the market for a different Manhattan apartment.
Her kitchen in the West Village penthouse is on the smaller side for an A-Lister, but Aniston didn't just grab one penthouse. She took two next to each other and likely has plans for big a kitchen expansion. Regardless of future real estate plans, Aniston will have to make do with the sleek space and stainless steel appliances that already make up her cooking quarters.

In case you missed it, I posted a preview of this issue on Monday and you have until 5 p.m. CST today to enter for a chance to win a free copy. Enter by leaving a comment to Monday's post.
I posted a review detailing a bit more on the contents of the class previously on the AMOM blog. Check it out here.


Thanks in advance for any assistance. Here is what I am facing: I have 2 fabrics each with 2 McData 4500 switches running EFCM 9.6.2. These fabrics have SUN DL280 Storage arrays on them as well as the hosts. We have purchased a NetApp FAS 3170 and two Brocade 5300 switches (OS 6.1.0d). Our goal was to connect the Brocade switches to the existing fabrics and somehow sync up zoning to allow the hosts to be able to talk to the existing Sun SANs and the NetApp. Then we had hoped to move the fibre connections from the McData 4500s to the Brocade 5300s, migrate our data from the old Storage arrays to the new one, and pull both the D280s and the McData switches out of production.
We currently have the Brocades part of the McData fabrics using Interoperability mode 3. This allows us to move hosts to the brocades, but the McDatas still have all of the zoning information. Once I yank the ISL, zoning info is lost. Additionally, zoning administration options don't exist in this interoperability mode. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Is there a way to export zoning information to the brocades, or another mode the brocades can be in and still allow temporary fabric integration. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
this is a long story, Do you intend to move the config from McDATA to Brocade and do you intend to remove the McDATA Switches from the Fabric ?
If yes the best way is to create a new config in the brocade in native brocade mode.
I am also working on the same issue as you--I have a mixture of Brocades and McData's and we're getting rid of the McData's. If I turn off interopmode on all of the Brocades, all configs will be lost, and there will be no existing config in the fabric.
Were you able to create a new config on your native-mode Brocade without doing it from scratch?? My zone config is very large and I would hate to have to re-create it from the beginning.
I should also mention that I am using EFCM v9.7.4.
For us our first priority was finding a way to migrate without incurring downtime, even if it meant rebuilding the zoning tables. What I ended up doing was calling Brocade and getting a temporary integrated routing license that allowed FCR to function. To install we had to pull the ISL, install the license, and reconfigure the port as an 'EX_Port' and reconnect as an IFL, if I remember correctly. We then set up LSAN zones on the Brocades (I know it stinks), which are basically replicas of our McData zoning except the zone names all started with "LSAN_". These zones are recognized by IR, and allowed servers moved to Brocade to stillse and use storage on the McDatas. I was able to move one connection or one server at a time without any disruption to our FC environment.
So in short, my hope to not recreate zoning wasn't realized, but we were able to avoid downtime!
We're working on the exact same scenario (Moving from McData 4700 to Brocade 5300s) although the McDatas will remain in service in separate fabrics. We have an existing EMC CX700 zoned to the McDatas. The Brocades were added to provide additional ports. This week we're installing a new CX4-960, which will involve separating the Brocade 5300s into separate fabrics. The CX700 will remain a member of the McData fabrics, the CX4-960 will be a member of the Brocade fabrics. We'll have Brocade 7500 routers to help facilitate host migrations between the two arrays. From what I've been able to gather, the best solution is to remove one Brocade from your fabric and reconfigure for Native mode, and then manually recreate your zones, then rinse/repeat. Since your hosts have multiple HBAs, you can proceed with the applicable data migration process for each host.
My McData is ISL'd between two Brocades and I have already moved everything that was attached to the McData to one of the Brocades. So, the only thing I want to do is get rid of the McData itself altogether. The host/storage connections aren't a problem. But, in order to do that, I'll have to turn off interopmode on every Brocade switch, which will destroy the zoning config everywhere--there won't be a switch left in the fabric with a running config. So, rebuild-rinse-repeat sounds like the only way, although it scares me to have to start over.
While doing a thorough google-search, I found a reference to a guide for converting from McData to Brocade. It's a really well-written guide and in it, it mentions a script called "mcdata-convert.exe" that can be found on http://brocade.com. I can't find this script anywhere.
Has anyone heard of it?? And, does anyone have a copy of it??
Thank you, in advance, for your hints/tips/advice/scripts!
As soon as you create ISL between McData & Brocade all the zoning info should be populated on Brocades right?, Once you move all the hosts and storage to Brocade, Can we power off the Mcdata Switches or remove the ISL?, Do we have to do any reconfiguration on the Brocade switches?.
Your zoning information lives on the McDatas, so if you pull the ISL your brocades won't work. The best way to accomplish migrating to the Brocade is to get an IR license from Brocade and build LSAN zones in them.

Sixteen-Month Incarceration of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe Inspires New London Play
By Tara Biglari
A play inspired by the plight of British-Iranian Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe – a Thomson Reuters Foundation employee incarcerated in Iran for more than a year and separated from her husband and young daughter – premiered last week at London's The Red Hedgehog performance space, with Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband in attendance.
"Looking for Mummy: Nazanin's Story" portrays the stark reality of her imprisonment and the struggles and frustrations faced by Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her family. The play is at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe from August 20 to 27, and has been longlisted for the 2017 Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award.
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested in April 2016 at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport and taken to one prison, then another, where she was held in solitary confinement for weeks. Last September, she was tried on unspecified charges related to security, convicted and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. She is serving her time in Tehran's Evin prison, where other dual nationals Haleh Esfandiary and Kamal Foroughi have been held, the latter since 2011.
A petition by Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband Richard Ratcliffe to secure her release has garnered almost 930,000 signatures worldwide.
"I think anyone who sees the play will understand Nazanin's story in a more emotional way than if you just saw it on the news," says her husband, who saw the play from the front row. "The idea of the play, and the fact that people care for her, is motivating, in that she's not forgotten."
"The most important thing for her now is to feel that we're battling for her, and that's where her strength comes from," he added.

The play's writer and director Emi Howell, who is also one of the actors on stage, remembered how surprised she was when she first found out about the case.
"My mom heard about it on Twitter, and started campaigning. Then I started doing my research, and couldn't believe that this had happened, and that there wasn't a huge outcry everywhere," she said. "I wanted to help, and the best way I could do that was by organizing and acting, so we put on a play and compacted it into an hour."
Howell said she was hopeful that the play would tour the U.K. so "we can spread her story to people who haven't yet heard it."
The play begins with Zaghari-Ratcliffe's arrest at the Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran and follows her journey by depicting the conditions of her imprisonment, her deteriorating health, and her wavering optimism. The timeline of events is marked by a ticker on a projected screen. The mood is tense, and frequent songs and screams allow the viewer to feel the plight of Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her husband, the two main characters.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's physical and mental condition gradually deteriorate, and her despair at being separated from her very young child is captured through long monologues by Nazanin, which are, in fact, letters she has written from her jail cell. The performance is supported further by video clips of her daughter, Gabriella.
There are intermittent flashes of hope, for instance when she is transferred from solitary confinement to the ward for political prisoners. Yet the ticking timeline is a reminder of the gravity of the situation. Every day that passes compounds her inability to achieve justice.
The play also criticises officialdom in the U.K. and U.N., revealing a lack of attention and care for her case, prioritizing economic and trade ties over the release of a British citizen.

Marriage Counseling for a Troubled Marriage Many couples look at marriage counseling as a last resort to a troubled marriage. This is a difficult decision especially if what you want is only an advice on how to make your relationship work or perhaps your partner does not believe in marriage counseling. Marriage counselors are more than just people saving your marriage, and this is what most people do not know. There are other helps that marriage counselors can give to couples aside from saving it from breaking down, and even if your spouse is not willing to go, there is something still that she can help you with. In many marriages, one or both partners feel that counseling is not the right move. This is because the process is seen to be too inconvenient, too expensive, or only for people who have tried everything else. Couples find it harder to get help for their relationship problems than it is for individuals who suffer anxiety, depression and other problems, to see a therapist. You might have negative feeling to the idea of marriage counseling, especially if you have to go by yourself. This feeling should be overcome. If you feel like you are starting to go off the rails, there is nothing wrong with getting help. If your partner does not want to go, then try to do it alone at first. There is a good chance you will end up going as a couple eventually.
The best time to go to a marriage counselor is Not when everything is coming to an end. And if you go to a therapist before any major marital issues occur, then it would be more beneficial for both of you. Fixing conflicts can be done easily if you don't feel like you are at the end of your rope. You can easily avoid unhappiness and divorce if you regularly go to marriage counseling. However, if it is not working for you then you need not do it.
If would be a more effective therapy if both spouses attend. You have other options even if your partner does not want to attend therapy. If you are alone you can still see a therapist and use an objective outside person's assistance to help you solve your relationship problems. When both party starts and one couple stops eventually this is the same situation and you can deal with the therapist on your own. Your therapist can still help you figure out how to be happy in the relationship, even if you're the only one present. There are still therapist who feel that counseling is really the last resort and when this is not your case then you need to pay attention to a few things. Do not go to a traditional individual counselor but look for a counselor who has a lot of experiences with couples.

Q: shifting a sequence of numbers in C? I have a question about some trying to wrap around a sequence of numbers that I'm trying to shift in the C programming language. The first value that is found in the sequence of numbers I calculate via a loop gets thrown out in the end. Here is what the code looks like right now:
numbers[d] = numbers[x];
for (d = y-1; d >=0; d --){
 numbers[d] = numbers[(d -  1) % y];
 printf(" numbers[d] = %d \n", numbers[d]);
}

Here are the numbers[x] I calculated from my previous loop:
1, 17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8, 10

Here is what the numbers[d] currently looks like:
17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8, 10, 10

...and here is what it should look like:
17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8, 10, 1

It seems like it doesn't wrap the 1 around to the end. Is there a conditional that I am missing in my loop? Thanks!

A: Code
#include <stdio.h>

static const int debug = 0;

static void dump_array(const char *tag, int n, const int array[n])
{
    printf("%s (%d)", tag, n);
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        printf("%3d", array[i]);
    putchar('\n');
}

static void rot1u(int n, int numbers[n])
{
    int v = numbers[n-1];
    for (int d = n - 1; d >= 0; d--)
    {
        numbers[d] = numbers[(n + d - 1) % n];
        if (debug)
            printf(" numbers[%d] = %d\n", d, numbers[d]);
    }
    numbers[0] = v;

    dump_array("Up After: ", n, numbers);
}

static void rot1d(int n, int numbers[n])
{
    int v = numbers[0];
    for (int d = 0; d < n; d++)
    {
        numbers[d] = numbers[(d + 1) % n];
        if (debug)
            printf(" numbers[%d] = %d\n", d, numbers[d]);
    }
    numbers[n-1] = v;

    dump_array("Dn After: ", n, numbers);
}

int main(void)
{
    int numbers[] = { 1, 17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8, 10 };
    enum { N_NUMBERS = sizeof(numbers) / sizeof(numbers[0]) };
    dump_array("-- Before:", N_NUMBERS, numbers);

    rot1u(N_NUMBERS, numbers);
    rot1d(N_NUMBERS, numbers);
    rot1d(N_NUMBERS, numbers);
    rot1d(N_NUMBERS, numbers);
    rot1u(N_NUMBERS, numbers);
    rot1u(N_NUMBERS, numbers);

    return 0;
}

Example output
-- Before: (9)  1 17  3 15 14  6 12  8 10
Up After:  (9) 10  1 17  3 15 14  6 12  8
Dn After:  (9)  1 17  3 15 14  6 12  8 10
Dn After:  (9) 17  3 15 14  6 12  8 10  1
Dn After:  (9)  3 15 14  6 12  8 10  1 17
Up After:  (9) 17  3 15 14  6 12  8 10  1
Up After:  (9)  1 17  3 15 14  6 12  8 10

A: Let's analyze your for loop, minus the printf statement.
for (d = y-1; d >=0; d --){
 numbers[d] = numbers[(d -  1) % y];
}

Before you start the loop, you have the following values in numbers.
1, 17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8, 10

The value of y is 9.
In the first iteration of the loop, d = 8. (d-1)%y = 7. You replace the value of number[8] by number[7]. The array becomes:
1, 17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8, 8

In the next iteration of the loop, d = 7. (d-1)%y = 6. You replace the value of number[7] by number[6]. The array becomes:
1, 17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 12, 8

When you reach the iteration where d=1, (d-1)%y = 0. You replace the value of  number[1] by number[0]. The array becomes:
1, 1, 17, 3, 15, 14, 6, 12, 8

In the next iteration, d=0, (d-1)%y = -1. The statement
 numbers[d] = numbers[(d -  1) % y];

is equivalent to
 numbers[0] = numbers[-1];

This certainly leads to undefined behavior but it doesn't explain the other numbers in your output. Maybe the output that you posted corresponds to a different block of code.
I think the answer by @JonathanLeffler gives a solution to your algorithmic problem. I won't repeat that here.

A: You need to save the element(s) which should be rotated to the the other side before the loop, and only put it into its  proper place (theem into their proper places) afterwards.

A: #include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#define METHOD 2
#define MAX_SKIERS 20
int starting_lineup[MAX_SKIERS+1];
int main(void)
{
int i, num_skiers = 20;
srand(time(NULL));
int pos1, pos2, temp;
for (i = 0; i <= num_skiers; i++)
starting_lineup[i] = i;
for (i = 0; i < num_skiers*2; i++) {
// Generate two random positions
pos1 = rand() % num_skiers + 1;
pos2 = rand() % num_skiers + 1;
// Swap the skiers at the two positions
temp = starting_lineup[pos1];
starting_lineup[pos1] = starting_lineup[pos2];
starting_lineup[pos2] = temp;
}
printf("The starting lineup (first to last):\n");
for (i = 1; i <= num_skiers; i++)
printf("%s%d", (i == 1 ? "" : ", "), starting_lineup[i]);
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}

THE GAME-changing scenario of world missile systems in the global context have assumed vital importance in the present era. Versatile weapons like BrahMos, a hallmark for 'Make In India', play a significant role in modern-day conflicts and wars as it supersedes the most popular cruise missiles in the world by three times in terms of velocity, flight range and nine times the kill energy range. BrahMos is unique with its higher weapon effectiveness, reliability, multi-platform, multi-mission and multi target capability.
BrahMos missile, the product of an exemplary Joint Venture, between India's Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's JSC MIC NPO Mashinostroyeniya (NPOM),is the most potent weapon system and a force multiplier in network centric warfare.
BrahMos has set precedence by successfully establishing a robust Missile Industrial Complex in both India and Russia. The public and private sector Indian defence firms have been actively involved in designing, developing and producing various components of the missile. 100 per cent of integration of the missile systems are accomplished in India and more than 65 per cent of component production are realised in India,around 20,000 Specialists, Engineers & Technicians in more than 200 large and medium industries are participating in realising different systems and sub-systems.The supersonic cruise missile has become a benchmark of public-private partnership in Indian defence sector.
BrahMos Supersonic cruise missile is a precision strike weapon for Army, Navy & Air Force. This universal missile can be fitted in ships, Mobile Launchers, Submarines and Aircraft against land and sea-based targets.The Indian Army has benefitted immensely from the induction of BrahMos weapon system. The missile has been successfully tested for firing in steep dive mode which would enable it to be deployed in mountainous regions. The deep penetration capability of the missile system against hardened targets has also been validated. The missile system is inducted in all frontline ships of the Indian Navy and deployment in other future surface warships are under production.
In terms of futuristic developments, the Hypersonic Brahmos is being envisioned to travel at a speed of mach 5 to 7 (5 to 7 times the speed of sound)
BrahMos supersonic cruise missile created history on 22nd Nov 2017 when, for the first time in the world, it was successfully flight-tested from the Indian Air Force's (IAF) frontline fighter aircraft against a sea based target in the Bay of Bengal. BrahMos-A, the air-launched version is lighter than its previous two variants but would be equally strong in firepower and devastating capability as its range and maximum speed of above 300 kms and 2.8 Mach respectively will remain unchanged.
The record-breaking feats of BrahMos continues to add feathers of glory, with the most recent successful test-firing of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile with an indigenous seeker at Pokhran test range in Rajasthan, on 22 March 2018. This launch has boosted India's defence indigenisation efforts which significantly highlights the vital contributions of BrahMos missile to the Govt. of India's ambitious "Make In India" initiative.
The emergence of BrahMos has not only strengthened India's technological base but also elevated its image in the global arena. As a high technology defence product, BrahMos has great potential of becoming India's major weapon export in the coming decades giving the country a share of the global arms business.
In terms of futuristic developments, the hypersonic BrahMos is being envisioned to travel at a speed of Mach 5 to 7 (5 to 7 times the speed of sound). Both governments are also keen to develop next-generation BrahMos, being termed as BrahMos-NG.
The contribution of BrahMos to India's arsenal is noteworthy in a quest to maximise its firepower potential and strengthening the armed forces. With the changing technological trends in the evolving world security scenario, BrahMos definitely promises to play a key role in redefining the future of modern warfare.

U.S. OD Death Rate Worst Among Wealthier Nations
MONDAY, Nov. 12, 2018 — With the rate of drug overdose deaths more than doubling since the turn of the century, the United States now leads the world in these preventable tragedies.
New research from investigators at the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) indicates that drug-related death rates in the United States are now more than double what they are in many other developed nations.
For the study, the researchers analyzed the World Health Organization's mortality database to determine overdose death trends from 2001 through 2015 across 13 countries.
"The U.S. had the highest death rate due to drug overdoses, which accounted for 35 deaths in [every] 100,000 men and 20 deaths in [every] 100,000 women in 2015," said study author Dr. Yingxi Chen.
Those figures reflect both accidental drug-related deaths and drug-related suicides among men and women aged 20 to 64, according to Chen. She is a postdoctoral fellow with the NCI's radiation epidemiology branch in the division of cancer epidemiology and genetics.
The study included information from Australia, Chile, Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Wales and the United States. Five of those countries saw worsening overdose death rates over the course of the study period.
Chen said the second highest overdose death rate among men was seen in Estonia. By 2015, that nation was experiencing 20 deaths per 100,000 men. That was followed by Norway, at 16 deaths per 100,000 men, and England and Wales, each at 15 deaths per 100,000 men.

"Overall, the absolute rates in men were generally double the rates in women," Chen said, "although we observed higher increases in rates among women than men in most countries."
Among women, Norway had the second highest rate (at 8 deaths per 100,000), followed by Australia (7) and Finland (6).
Chen said it's unclear why some nations are faring better than others.
And some are. For example, while Norway's overdose fatality rates remain relatively high, that country saw the largest decrease in risk during the study timeframe among both men and women. Spain also saw significant declines among men during the study timeframe, while Denmark experienced the same downward trend among women.
Notably, all of those countries have embraced programs designed to decrease the risk, Chen said.
Those programs include the establishment of needle and syringe exchange programs; efforts to distribute the opioid overdose prevention drug naloxone (Narcan) for at-home use; the designations of drug consumption "safe" rooms; and the increased availability of heroin treatment centers.
Currently, Denmark has all four programs implemented, Chen noted, while Norway and Spain have launched three of the programs.
Still, Chen stressed that the study "did not evaluate whether these declines are attributed to those intervention programs, nor whether those programs would work in the U.S."
The researchers reported their findings Nov. 13 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The study team noted that in 2016, nearly 64,000 American men and women died of a drug overdose.
Across all 13 countries, death rates were found to be highest among men aged 35 to 49 and among women aged 50 to 64.

As for the United States, both Chen and Dave Thomas, a health scientist in the division of epidemiology, services and prevention research at the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse, said the problem is rooted in the exploding opioid epidemic.
"This increase in drug overdoses was originally driven by the over-prescription of opioids [such as OxyContin], and by far the U.S. is the leader in opioid prescribing," Thomas said.
"But more recently, heroin and synthetic opioids like fentanyl have accounted for an increasing share of the U.S. opioid overdose deaths," he added.
There's more on America's opioid crisis at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A child of the 18th arrondissement, legendary French indie rap band, La Rumeur, bears an undying affection for this neighbourhood. After almost 20 years on the music scene, the band has now turned its hand to film production. Since Spring 2015, its members have been working on "Mon Nom à Pigalle", a feature film scheduled for release this autumn that explores the life of a bar on the boulevard de Clichy. During the shoot, Ekoué, Bavar and Hamé crossed paths with Le Pigalle team, who share their attachment to this unique neighbourhood of Paris. As the hotel regularly hosts cultural events that aim to reflect the diversity of the neighbourhood, the two teams had much in common, and working together seemed a natural outcome. The result will be a series of events in line with the band's current activities. The programme at Le Pigalle will include a showcase, premiere, movie masterclass and discussions.

My children's dad and I split last year just before Christmas. It wasn't an amicable split and for myself felt like it was quite sudden. He said he wasn't happy. I later discovered he'd been talking to a girl at work behind my back and she was a big part of him leaving.
That didn't work out and she ended up knocking him back and going back to her ex this lasted about 2 months.
After a month he then started seeing another girl who is a single mum. He met her daughter and former a connection with her buying her birthday presents and obviously spending time with her. We had a conversation at this point about how we would introduce new partners to our kids, he said he isn't rushing into anything and it wouldn't be any time soon and so that ended in us agreeing that we would always ask each other before introducing anyone.
That relationship didn't work out lasted about 5 months.
He's now seeing someone else. I found out about this new girl from one of his friends and was told that he'd slept with this new girl behind the previous girls back. From what I gather he must have only been seeing this new girl around a month.
She is practically living with him and he has introduced her to the kids last weekend without asking me. His reason for this was because it's 'going a lot better than it was with the other lass and moving faster'.
He took the kids to the cinema and she and her nephew came along. My son told me that before they went their dad told them not to mis behave and show him up in front of her.. the girl just said hello to our boys and never said anything else to them. He also said that his dad kissed the girl in front of my children which my son told me made him feel sick and really uncomfortable.
Sorry for the long read I just wanted to vent and write it all down, if anyone wants to comment and can perhaps relate please do.
I'm just so tired with it all. I can't communicate with him about any of this as he doesn't listen he does as he pleases and thinks about no one else's feelings but his own.

Hi Yennifer,
Urg… Hugs & love to you & your kids… Idk what it is with some folk … It doesn't sound like he's putting the kids first at all really & very understandable it's frustrating for you. Tbh it doesn't really sound like he has a healthy understanding of what 'happiness' is, if he's treating people like this!!
Writing it out & venting is healthy & can totally relate… My ex was similar type of asshat in many ways! Thankfully he chased his tail far enough he got lost & didn't come back! Blessing to have him & his drama gone! Might be a bit of a taboo to say… But if they can't get their act together, I honestly think kids are better off with no dad, it's easier to heal from than a disruptive one! (Personal experience of my childhood!)
Most important thing is the kids… if they feel uncomfortable by his behaviour & he won't listen…. Do they still want to see him?
Might be worth getting some extra support to have words with him to say he's distressing his kids & maybe look into preventing access if the kids aren't happy… How long can it go on before they start resenting him or worse feel his behaviour is acceptable.
He needs to understand what he is teaching his kids!
Hi JBLA
Thank you for replying. I do feel that it would be better if he wasn't in the picture at all however we were together for 12 years and he has always been there for our children. I've had a conversation with my eldest about it all and he will say he doesn't want to go but then changes his mind and says he still does want to go as he does not want to upset his dad.
I wouldn't know where to start with seeking additional help for the situation I'm in.
He draws me in really easy. He wanted to meet up with me and told me this was to clear the air and to talk about things so we could move forward and communicate better, later I found out from him that he only wanted to do that to let me know he was seeing the new girl (obviously I already knew)
He's told me he wants more kids and asked if I do which I said no I don't. He told me that he slept with her the first night she came to see him. Basically he talks to me like I'm one of the lads and I have told him I don't want to hear it, it's all one big joke to him. Not sure if he is doing this to get a reaction or to make me jealous?
I'm still single and just trying to better myself and my children and move on but with all the stress from him and the things he does and says I don't feel like I fully can :'(
Hi Yennifer
Maybe some sort of mediation could help?
It would empower your kids to have a voice & maybe give him a jolt he's not putting them first.
It could be way way of provoking a reaction.. but it seems very emotionally toxic idk… Maybe a way to put you down?
Sounds like a bit of a 'headworker', wouldn't surprise me if he knows exactly how this would hurt you & is trying keep you from moving on.
Maybe the reason it's not working out with anyone is because he's an asshole 🙂
Stuff that helped me move on was self help books about emotional abusers …. Highly recommended Pat Craven's freedom program! 🙂

Zack Leon (1892 – 1980)
Leon Zack was born in Nijny-Novgorod, Russia, in 1892 and studied literature in Moscow while frequenting private art schools.
His first master was Jakimchenko, a painter who had worked under the influence of French Impressionist painters. He then studied with Rerberg and Machkoff who had been one of the founders of the « Jack of Diamonds » group.
In 1914 he participated in exhibition TOVARISHCHAM VOINAM ("Artists for the Friends Fighters"), Moscow. Among the participants: Aristarkh Lentulov, Ilya Repin, Kazimir Malevich, Nikolay Rerich, Petr Konchalovsky, Robert Falk.
In 1917 L. Zack took part in VYSTAVKI KARTIN I SKUL'PTURY KHUDOZHNIKOV-EVREEV ("Paintings and Sculpture by Artists-Jews") Moscow. Among the artists: Isaac Levitan, Lev (Leon) Bakst, Mane-Katz, Chagall, Natan Altman.
He got married in 1917 before leaving Russia for Rome and Florence where he lived until 1921. He then went to Berlin in 1922 and worked for the Russian Theater.
Zack moved afterwards to Paris where he exhibited his works at the Salon des Indépendants and in various galleries. Influenced by his Jewish roots he notably produced many Biblical scenes but decided to become a Christian.
He took part in many exhibitions from 1926 and was listed in the « Neo-Humanist » group of painters with Christian Bérard, Pavel Tchelitchev and Eugene Berman who were advocating a return to reality in opposition to Cubist trends.
During the Second World War Zack sought refuge in an Alpine village and came back in 1945 to Paris where he exhibited his works in many Salons.
He then modified his style turning to abstraction finding that the subject was playing no specific role while tones and forms could express all the feelings he wanted to bring.
Zack took part in several exhibitions in Brussels, London, Venice, Copenhagen, Oslo, Dublin, Basel and Koln and continued to produce theatre and ballet decors and book ilustrations.
However Zack became increasingly interested in sacred art and produced many stained glass works for several churches in France. He also created religious sculptures and reliefs.
Zack's lyrical period started in 1955 through an evolution of signs and forms which made him one of the pioneers of cloud effects. He once said he liked empty spaces the deepness of him being underlined by the presence of forms becoming increasingly material. He also pinpointed the importance of light in his works using tone values to this effect and approaching the watercolour technique.
